again, the point i was trying to make is that zebras are black with white stripes because the white is where they lack pigmentation. if they had pigmentation in that area, it would be black. therefore, they are black with white stripes.

I personally collect every card from every game I can and sell them to save a little money on games I buy. It seems more valuable than any gamestop rewards card or whatever else is out there. collectors can collect and scrimpers and savers can scrimp and save. Seems win win to me.
Some time in, How do you feel about Steam Trading Cards?

I've bought and sold a bunch during the wintersale, I ended up crafting a bunch of badges and still made a bit of money so I guess it's ok.
The only thing I don't like is that Valve know there are people out there who will buy every game just for these cards. When I think of that it seems a little sleazy, and I know I should blame the person for making silly decisions like that, but I can't help place some blame on Valve because they know full well they are 'exploiting' those people. Still, it's all optional and the ability to make at least some money is better than nothing. It'd be cool if they had more rare drops like DotA or CS:GO, but then that would probably get more people to make more bad choices.
I've bought a handful of 20 dollar games and even more on sale games due to all the cards I sell, so I love them based on that, I also find it fun to search for random cards and see how much people are selling them for on average, and every once and a while you'll see someone selling one of their cards for half the price of the average, so I buy that person card then put it back on sale for the average price and make a profit.
But I have zero interest in them otherwise. But to each their own if people feel they are worth collecting.
I've crafted 3-4 badges at first for the fun of it and see what it was all about, then made the conscious decision to either go with crafting and trading, or sell it all. I've sided with selling, and am quite happy to take the money and run. I'm not going to disparage those who craft as they are necessary for me to sell, and we are necessary for them to craft.
I've made about $40 off of them and spent about $5 so I could have a stupid level 5 Saints Row The Third badge on my page. I suppose I like them for the reason alone that I can sell them off, but there are easily ways I would enjoy them more. Though they would be near valueless if they changed it to work like this, I'd much prefer that I either got an unlimited number of cards per game or that the cards were tied to achievements (in the latter they'd pretty much have to take away the badge levels). Not being able to craft a badge without spending any money instantly sucked any of the fun out of it for me, so selling them and either getting discounts on games or free games was the way I went. I don't dislike them, but in my eyes, they basically just exist for me to sell.

I made a couple of badges initially but I don't actively try to anymore. I'm just disappointed they didn't turn it into some kind of card battle game like the one in Rage.
hmmmm, I'm kinda mixed on them. The whole sell button, the graphic showing you how the market works, and the market place are really well implemented. I made about 15 bucks off of duplicates, but I'm at level 23 and really all of this is to level up your steam community profile.... which steam community itself is already kinda...... merple purple. It's uhhh..... hard to describe. I mean I don't know why I'm leveling up my badges to just get new slots in my profile to show off my silly fan art of TF2 for the weird TF2 art community that I don't take serious. I mean I love the whole process of crafting a badge, but really don't care for steam community itself, I'm not going to read a community member's Metal Gear Rising Combo list.
The cards are fun to collect but illustrate how odd Steam Community really is.
@cale said:
The only thing I don't like is that Valve know there are people out there who will buy every game just for these cards.
Ironically, that isn't happening at all. Or like, maybe a couple people are doing it, but not many. Counterintuitively, you don't actually need to own a game to have the badge for it. If you just want all the badges, buying, say 8 trading cards at 25 cents a piece from the Steam Community Marketplace is only $2. That's a badge (well, it varies, but many badges require 8 cards). Want to get that badge 4 more times, resulting in a max level badge (level 5)? That's about $10 total.
So yeah, Valve is fleecing these OCD collectors for money, but getting a max level badge probably only costs $10-$15 per game. Which is much cheaper than buying that game if the game costs $20 or more. Granted, many of the OCD collectors are also the types with enough disposable income to have over a thousand Steam games anyway, but still, I don't think they're buying them for the cards. Anyway, this guy:
He has 528 badges, but only 396 games. Clearly has a ton of badges for games he has neither played nor even bought.
Anyway, for myself, I do a bunch of trading during the big Steam Sales (since crafting a badge during that time gets you a trading card, instead of a shitty coupon for some game you don't want) and craft a bunch of badges then, but otherwise ignore trading cards most of the time. I'm content to just make a bunch of level 1 badges, and occasionally get boosters, and that's that.
@bisonhero: I only realized after posting you could get the cards for games you don't own. I guess it's not as devious as I imagined.

If dumb people buying stupid virtual cards that do nothing allow me to save a few bucks on games, I'm all for it.
@bisonhero: I only realized after posting you could get the cards for games you don't own. I guess it's not as devious as I imagined.
you only need to own the game to get free drops. you can just buy whatever cards you want though.

They're incredibly dumb, but if people wanna keep tossing me a few cents here and there for them that's cool I guess.
I don't mind their existence, but I wish Steam would abandon the pretense that it's for Trading. They are a commodity, and the marketplace needs to stop acting like anyone cares who they are buying and selling to. Buying a Sale card is a nightmare. any card posted on the first page of results is sold before you can try for it. Just let people say what they would pay for X numbers of cards, and let the marketplace act on that.
I am a fan of the dumb chat emoticons you can get from the system. Like the poop from The Binding of Isaac.

I started out collecting them, selling any duplicates and only buying cards for games (or in the case of Indie Game: The Movie, a movie) I really liked to get the level 1 badge, but now I just sell them all.

Kunis-Kutcher enrich us all
Indeed they do.
Artists and lovebirds Mila Kunis, 30, and her fiance Ashton Kutcher, 36, are expecting their first baby, says People. The couple, whose child some day will save the Earth, have yet to announce a wedding date.
In other baby news, George Clooney's ex-lover, Stacy Keibler, is pregnant with her first child with her new husband, wrestler-turned-TV personality and entrepreneur Jared Pobre, the Toronto Sun reports.
'American Horror' No. 4
Ryan Murphy, whose American Horror Story serial has reduced so many of us to quivering masses of terrified jelly, has announced that for Season 4 he'll take viewers to a carnival. Entertainment Weekly says American Horror Story: Freak Show will be set in 1950s Jupiter, Fla., and will feature Jessica Lange as a German emigree who runs a traveling freak show. Returning for the freak show: Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, and Frances Conroy.

Senior Daniel Porter will once again lead the Bulldog rushing attack. Porter was first team All-WAC last season after rushing for over 1,000 yards and 9 touchdowns. Junior Myke Compton is the second team running back. COmpton was a three star recruit out of Tucker, GA and was a special teams standout for Coach Dooley last year. True Freshman D.J. Morrow looks to be a serious challenger for the backup job.
Phillip Livas led all receivers with over 600 yards last season. More known for his return game capabilities, Livas stretches the field for the offense. R.P. Stuart and Houston Tuminello gained significant experience as true freshmen last year and will be counted on to carry more of the offensive load in 2009. Stuart has good size at 6'3" and is very versatile. Tuminello has shown tremendous hands and Jenkins will look to him when he needs a first down.
Cruz Williams was a highly touted recruit out of Arkansas in 2008. The redshirt freshman has the size and speed to upgrade the receiver position for Louisiana Tech. True Freshman Jaccari Jackson has similar size and speed and will also look to break into the rotation. Fellow freshmen Lyle Fitte and Sharman Brown also have the potential to help in 2009. Adrian Linwood will also be in the mix.
Seniors Dustin Mitchell and Dennis Morris are big, athletic, and in 2009, they are experienced tight ends. Able to play all over the field, Mitchell and Morris play tight end, split end, and fullback for Louisiana Tech. Roosevelt Falls returns as more of a true fullback and Chandler Spence will look to get his first career action at Tight End.
The Offensive line returns almost everyone. Juniors Rob McGill, Cudahy Harmon, Jared Miles, and Lon Roberts are all returning starters and will anchor the 2009 unit. Senior Ben Harris and Sophomore Kris Cavitt will also contend for starting jobs. Harmon and Miles both trimmed down over the offseason and will look to have big years this season. Kevin Saia, Will Taylor, and Stephen Warner will provide valuable depth to a unit that lacked numbers in 2008. Jordan Mills is a true freshman with a bright future at offensive tackle for Louisiana Tech.
The Defense starts up front with tackle D'Anthony Smith. Projected online as a first round draft pick, Smith will command constant double teams inside. Mason Hitt returns next to Smith and junior college transfer John White joins Ramone Randle and Adrian Logan as the backup defensive tackles.
In the always important task of pressuring the quarterback, the defense end position is key. Kwame Jordan, Christian Lacey, Matt Broha, Randy Grigsby, and Jared Barron give Defensive Coordinator Tommy Spangler plenty of depth to rotate fresh legs in and out of the game. Lacey showed alot of potential as a true freshman and Jordan showed an ability to get to the quarterback. Barron and Broha were very active in their first seasons and Grigsby gives the team much needed size in run support.
A wildcard for Coach Dooley is Eric Harper. Harper might have been the most prized recruit of Coach Dooley's second recruiting class. At 6'4", Harper has the size and athleticism to help the team in numerous ways. Whether he lines up at linebacker, defensive end, or tight end; Harper could be a breakout player for Louisiana Tech.
Adrian Cole was the backup middle linebacker as a true freshman last year. Cole will take over the starting spot after showing great insticts in 2008. Dusty Rust will push Dominique Faust for one outside linebacker spot. On the other side Kiamni Washington and Brian White each started games in 2008. White and Faust are the favorites to start against Auburn, but Rust and Washington will see plenty of action.
Solomon Randle has a great oppurtunity to backup his fellow Alabama native Cole in the middle. Another option for Coach Spangler is to move the versatile Rust inside to backup Cole. True freshman Rufus Porter could play early on the outside and fellow newcomers IK Enemkpali and Kendrick James will also be in the mix.
Another key player for the coaches is Jay Dudley, who is talented enough to start on the outside or even backup Cole in the middle. Dudley missed most of last year, but could very well take one of the starting linebacker spots with a good fall.
Antonio Baker and Deon Young lead the most experienced position on the team. The two senior safeties are back as well as super-sub Tank Calais. Tank is a special teams constant and will help a lot in nickel situations. CJ Broades and Javantay Crowe have an oppurtunity to grab a second team spot. Senior Shawn Simmons holds the position as camp opens.
Junior College transfer Olajuwan Paige will battle Terry Carter and Josh Victorian for the starting spots at corner. Quin Giles might be the most ready to play freshman on the team. Giles and Chad Boyd could both be playing early as true freshmen.
For punt returns and kick returns, Livas is all you need to know. Freshmen Lyle Fitte and Tyrone Duplessis will add even more speed to the equation.
Kicker Matt Nelson and Punter Cade Glascow are the favorites to start the season. The two freshmen from Texas have the tools necessary to get the job done. Nelson has a big leg.
If one of the receivers steps up to help Livas, the offense could really take off behind an experienced line and Porter. The defense lost key seniors in Quin Harris, Weldon Brown, and Brannon Jackson but brings back a lot of talent and depth. The team lloks to be much improved in 2009 but they face a tougher schedule.
We will break down the schedule soon, but from the looks of the roster; this team has all the pieces in place to make another run to a bowl game.

Children of Narcissists
I had a friend suggest this so I'm doing it because we're DESPERATE!
My son and I are being evicted thanks to a crappy roommate not paying his rent or share of the bills and I'm trying to get the heck out of Tampa and back home to Seattle. I lost my job in late October and Jason didn't work for 2 weeks in November and then again for two weeks in December due to the holidays so we just fell into that "one month away from homelessness" category that many Americans are in. Well, we're here and facing homelessness.
I've set up a GoFundMe page so if those of you who have found this site helpful could maybe consider helping us I would be incredibly grateful! This information was freely given and will always remain so. However, we're really stuck so I'm just reaching out to anyone remotely connected to our world (even the kindness of strangers) who would consider helping us not end up homeless!
Thank you for reading this post. I have no pride left, only desperation…things turned bad so quickly my head is spinning and I'm walking in circles so if you can help, PLEASE do! Also, if you could pray and/or put us on any prayer chains or lists you know, that would be awesome too.
The GoFundMe link is here: https://www.gofundme.com/janetbyers
Update December 2015: I had a post here before written by someone else. In re-reading it I took it down because I didn't like just the first few paragraphs (and the link went to a site that was gone.) If you wanted that post, I'm sorry because it's now history!
In the last several years I've come to believe that most children of extreme narcissists suffer in many ways that society (and sometimes the children) don't know how (or want) to address.
I suspect Narc parents produce children with Borderline Personality Disorder.
I suspect a lot of children of narcissists are co-dependent.
Children of narcs often become narcissists themselves (but most of them will not land on this site.) I think more often they feel like victims and crazy as a loon (those are the ones who are digging around this blog.)
I will post more from other viewpoints and try to find some expert viewpoints (like something I read the other day about the victims of narcissists syndrome that seems to be gaining more attention.) I "think" it somewhat new in the psych circles. Not sure though, didn't dig deeply.
More later…

My father is a narcissistic father and had me turned against my mother for many years. I'm just coming to terms with this. It's very hard to live with someone you're constantly afraid of talking to. I want to move out after I graduate ( one year away) but I'm very unsure of where to start.
November 14, 2014 at 3:03 PM
I am the daughter of a narc dad and now married to a narc husband. Pure Hell. Now I am afraid of what this is doing to my children. One child seems to be so sensitive and allows the other to rule the roost. Both are told when dad is around to behave, not fuss, not make dad mad. He never held them as babies, rarely if ever plays with them. Never read a book to the kids when young. Does not help with homework or show them how to do chores. They never have seen him do any chores to help mom around the house. He belittles me just like my dad does to my mom. When we dated he hated the way my parents interacted. Now our marriage is worse. The whole house runs according to dad's mood which can be hard to read. He is good at teasing the kids which they have told them they don't like. He doesn't get it. He thinks we know when he is joking – truth is we don't. Neither my dad or husband get that. They think we are all too sensitive when we try to tell them how we feel. Hubby does not play with the kids or help with homework much at all. when it does occur why bother? He gets them upset because they make a mistake – that is how we all learn right? It is worse if he tries to help because inevitably someone will get yelled at for something – just the way it is! He expects perfection with everything from sports, homework, behavior, how they dress.

AND i was adopted at birth. im 46 and cant belive i fell for that asshole fathers bullshit story and now im stuck here again.. un real..but boy, you nailed it! that described me better than all the shrinks ive seen put together
February 13, 2014 at 11:40 PM
As a narc magnet, I've learned to ask a few questions. Think before I answer. Ask myself, am I trying to please this person?
Is this request good or bad for me?
Am I giving out of the goodness of my heart or for something in return?
Does this request violate me?
How does this person make me feel? Do I feel anxiety when they are around? If so, why?
Is this person intruding? Are their questions giving you anxiety? Do not reveal yourself too early when you meet people, meaning don't tell them your sad stories. A person usually comes full circle in a year no matter how often or little you interact with them. If they are nice a year from now, go from there. If in that 12 months they act up, I give them one chance, if they repeat the offense I feed them from a long handle spoon, no more excuses.
Also make a list of boundaries. Things that are not acceptable. Do not harm yourself or allow harm to you. Do not submit to request you would later feel shame about. You must know your boundaries to do this. Read the Bible for a list if you don't know what to list. You will never feel shame for following God's laws. There is so much more to life than relationships. Relationships are only one part of life. Do not neglect any part of your life for one. Enjoy the other parts of life and you will attract more people into your circle including good people. When you get around quality people, the narc vampires will seem just like what they are in comparison. You will recognize the bad ones from the good ones and your desire for them will lesson. You won't have to be on guard as much with the non-vampires. And no matter how nice or good or accomplished a person is they can still ask you to do something bad. Believe it and be prepared. Listen to your anxiety, it is a warning system. Be prepared to stall a person before giving in to their request until you've had time to reflect on what they are asking. For example: I was asked to go on vacation with a friend. They had me do all the research for the vacation which I felt anxiety about because I had other things to do too. Then they wanted me to pay for our vacation and promised that they would pay me back. I had already been feeling anxiety but because this was a direct violation of my boundaries a red alert went off and I stalled my answer by telling them I would not get any money until next week when they would have repaid me anyways according to them. By not answering in the moment when I didn't know exactly what was bothering me, I was able to stall, reflect on my feelings of discomfort, and respond assertively. I didn't destroy myself or the relationship in the process.

Thank you for this blog. It has been quite helpful. I was raised by a narcissistic mother. My father was out of the picture because of her and later he passed away. Yes, you are true about many things– esp when you say that ACoNs are trained to tolerate.

I could and probably will fill a book on my experiences as the eldest child of divorced narcissistic parents. My life has been hell on earth as I was one of the children that was steamrolled by the :Big Bad Wolf" and abandoned by the other. I read this page through streaming tears recognizing myself so clearly. I am just beginning recovery and went No Contact with my NM a few nonths ago. Next will be to leave my Narc husband.

Hi. Wow, I'm pretty sure that I have parents who are narcissistic and I think everything you said here is on the dot.

As the U.S.-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement opens up new markets for U.S. goods and services, and as Vietnam meets its WTO commitments, the Vietnam market represents the next great opportunity for all types of American companies. However, doing business in Vietnam can still be challenging. This site will shed light on how to successfully penetrate the Vietnam market.
U.S. Commerce Department Releases 50 New Reports Highlighting Trans-Pacific Partnership Benefits for American Businesses- "The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a transformational agreement that will benefit businesses and workers across the country," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. "By eliminating more than 18,000 tariffs on 'Made-in-America' products sold overseas, the TPP will make it possible for more of our high-quality goods and services to reach some of the world's fastest-growing markets. In addition, the TPP reflects the highest standards on labor, the environment, and the digital economy ever to be included in a trade agreement, which will ensure that our businesses and workers can compete on a level playing field globally."

What Is Happening to Muslims Will Happen to the Rest of Us
Posted on Oct 1, 2012
By Chris Hedges
(Page 2)
There are currently an estimated 25,000 prisoners imprisoned in supermax facilities. They are disproportionately Muslims and people of color. Many, including Hashmi, Dritan Duka, Oussama Kassir and Seifullah Chapman, were not found by the courts to be involved in specific terrorist plots but instead were incarcerated under these conditions for their "material support" to terrorism. The prisons are equipped with special housing units for those who do not show a proper deference to authority. These "H-units" hold prisoners under special administration measures, or SAMs. They live in cells of only 75 to 85 square feet. They endure almost complete social isolation and sensory deprivation as well as round-the-clock electronic surveillance. And it is in these units that even the most resilient are psychologically destroyed.
Prolonged isolation, says Craig Haney, a psychologist at the University of California at Santa Cruz who has studied the effects of solitary confinement, eventually induces "appetite and sleep disturbances, anxiety, panic, rage, loss of control, paranoia, hallucinations and self-mutilations" as well as "cognitive dysfunction ... hopelessness, a sense of emotional breakdown ... and suicidal ideation and behavior." Haney found that "many of the negative effects of solitary confinement are analogous to the acute reactions suffered by torture and trauma victims."
Masri, a burly man who once was a bouncer in a nightclub, is accused of 11 terrorism charges, including attempting to set up a terrorism training camp in a remote area of Oregon and involvement in a kidnapping in Yemen in 1999 in which three British tourists were killed. He was based at north London's Finsbury Park mosque, which I visited several times when I was covering al-Qaida for The New York Times. His rhetoric was always incendiary and conspiratorial, assuring him press coverage, which I suspected he coveted. He called the 9/11 attacks a Jewish plot and the Columbia space shuttle explosion "punishment from God." Richard Reid, the hapless shoe bomber, whose past associations I was investigating in London, attended the mosque. Masri was never an important Muslim leader in Britain or abroad. He made headlines mostly because he sought them. He was jailed last year in Britain on charges of soliciting murder and inciting racial hatred. And at that point the U.S. began the process of extradition.
Masri faces the possibility of life imprisonment. He will be extradited with four others, including Khaled al-Fawwaz, a Saudi national, and Adel Abdul Bary, another Egyptian. These two men are accused of having been aides to Osama bin Laden in London and allegedly taking part in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa in which more than 200 people were killed and thousands injured. Babar Ahmad, a British citizen in detention since 2004, will also be extradited. He, along with Talha Ahsan, is accused of using his now-closed website, Azzam.com, to support terrorism. Ahmad has been held in custody in Britain without trial for nearly eight years.
Square, Site wide
The ruling of the European Court of Human Rights, handed down Sept. 24 after the men requested that the court block their extradition, in essence certifies that U.S. prison standards are compatible with European human rights. This opens the door for any European nation receiving extradition requests from the U.S. to swiftly turn prisoners over to U.S. authorities. The ruling came despite the fact that 26 human rights groups including the ACLU, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and Human Rights First supported the prisoners' contention that they would be housed in inhuman conditions in the United States. The human rights groups predicted that the court's ruling would have "serious implications … for legitimizing the use of conditions of confinement that violate human rights."

Mass layoffs in July 2012
August 24, 2012
There were 1,340 mass layoff events in July involving 137,420 workers, seasonally adjusted. A mass layoff is an event in which at least 50 workers are laid off from a single employer, as measured by new filings for unemployment insurance benefits during the month. Mass layoff events in July increased by 23 from June, and the number of associated initial claims increased by 6,014.
In July, the manufacturing sector accounted for 40 percent of mass layoff events. Within manufacturing, the number of mass layoff events was highest in the transportation equipment subsector.
These data are from the BLS Mass Layoff Statistics program. To learn more, see "Mass Layoffs — July 2012" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-12-1718.

Dota 2
This game seems like Dota 0.5
- Topic Archived

SadCubsFan 5 years ago#1
I'm all for keeping the integrity of the game intact, but isn't there a such thing as playing it too safe? I mean so far it looks like a smaller version of Dota 1 but just with a new coat of paint and a tutorial system...

Lots and lots of improvements behind the scenes.

I dislike arguments of any kind. They are always vulgar, and often convincing. ~ The Importance of Being Earnest
SpeedDemon20 5 years ago#6
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be just like Dota 1. And the reason all the heroes aren't in Dota 2 is pretty obvious, I think; the heroes still need models and their skills to be coded into the game. I'd imagine a lot of incomplete games do not have the entire character roster available initially. Though a lot of games would not be shown to the public so early in development either.
Anywho, here're some highlights from the Q&A IceFrog had last year.
Q: Dont you think you should make a lot of changes to the gameplay? (by Robert)
A: Significant changes would not necessarily make it a better game. There are countless features we are building around the game that will make the experience a much better one. The gameplay itself, though, has always evolved step by step, and it will continue with that methodology. We consider this a long term project, in the same way DotA has always been. We want to provide a quality experience and not just change for the sake of change. Youll naturally see additions and improvements to the game as time passes, but it would be a natural progression aimed at improving the game for the players and not for other arbitrary reasons. Valve and I strongly believe that the player focused development process the game has gone through is what will allow us to continue making the best decisions with regards to where we spend our development time.
Q: Will you keep loyal to casting times like Torrent and will it still be possible to do the advanced tricks, like animation canceling, fog of war tricks weve learned, etc? (by Lycan)
A: Yes, those mechanics are implemented. They are a very integral part of the game and it wouldnt feel the same without them.
Q: Are you going to work on DotA after DotA 2 is released? (by Jack Lee)
A: I plan to keep DotA updated for as long as the community wants. That being said though, I think that DotA 2 represents the long term future for the game.
And with that covered, I have to say that I'm pretty annoyed by gamers who always ***** when a game is "the same" as its prequel. I mean, Pokemon has basically stayed the same with little nice editions through each version, but man did I rage when they removed the Vs. Seeker. A lot of the times, I just want the same game with a few additions and improvements.
But in the end, I suppose there are people just like me, and regardless of what a game company does, they can never win with everyone. Someone will always find something to ***** about.
I hate resorting to violence...

That's not beta, that's a demo.
Beta is a testing phase where they let the public play to test the game at this build. It is not final as if enough people wanted a change for something like system, interface, code they may change it and get feedbacks on the change. Bugs are the other major thing that beta is for.

Wisconsin native Skylar Grey gets 5 million YouTube views in one week
Pop singer Skylar Grey-born Holly Brook Hafermann in Mazomanie, Wisconsin-debuted the music video for her No Doubt-style new single "C'Mon Let Me Ride" one week ago today, and its already collected more than 5 million views on YouTube.
The cartoonish visual treatment has Grey hanging with low lifes in a backwoods trailer park, performing plastic surgery with a chainsaw and posing as a retro pin-up girl. But what's certainly drawing the most traffic has to be the appearance of Eminem, who sings a snippet of Queen's "Bicycle Race" with an assist from autotune in the style of Pee Wee Herman. »Read Full Blog Post

"My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" is its first single since 2008 album "Folie a Deux," and one of four new songs on sale at iTunes reviewed in the Singles Scorecard this week. »Read Full Blog Post
Two books take pulse of once-great Detroit
Performing in November at the Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit, Madonna - a Michigan native who was raised in the Detroit suburbs - told the crowd how good it was "to be back home." "Detroit is having a comeback," she enthused. "I can feel it in my bones!"
As a native son of this once-proud city, I fervently want to believe that Madonna is right. »Read Full Article(1)

Grete Marks at the Milwaukee Art Museum
The Grete Marks exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum is a great reminder that art history is no different than all other history: Shaped by a fairly narrow group of people and pock-marked with omissions. What's nice about a show like this is that it re-sets one's thinking about a storied moment in time while also correcting one of those omissions.
The storied moment in this case is the Bauhaus School (Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – art and design heroes to a lot of us). Margarete (Grete) Heymman enrolled in the school as a young woman. It was 1921, and at the time the enlightened Bauhauslers tended to direct women toward pursuits like weaving. Apparently the school's modern attitudes about the sexes weren't all that modern after all. Walter, Paul, Wassily, Ludwig – how could you? »Read Full Blog Post

Microsoft (MSFT) is working with OEMs on "small devices powered by Windows," outgoing CFO Peter Klein confirms - given past reports, that's not too surprising.

A federal appeals court in Philadelphia on Tuesday rebuffed New Jersey's bid to boost the sagging fortunes of Atlantic City casinos by bringing sports gambling to the state.
A panel of judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld a lower-court ruling that a 1992 federal law barring sports betting in all but four states, including Nevada, is constitutional.
New Jersey officials vowed not to give up.
"We will continue to fight this injustice by either appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court or to the entire Court of Appeals," State Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D., Union), a leading proponent in the legislature for sports betting, said in a statement.

There was a time when online colleges were mainly private and for-profit, but those days are gone, and the majority of Kentucky colleges feature at least some online courses. Numerous fully online degree programs extend the academic experience to students who might not be able to attend classes otherwise. Kentucky online colleges offer a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees, as well as certificates and continuing education opportunities. For online students, the curriculum is typically the same, but self-paced and accelerated online degree programs are also available.
From small colleges nestled in the Appalachian mountains to major universities in the sprawling metro areas, more than 384,000 students were served by Kentucky's 114 colleges, universities and career schools in 2013, making the state 24th in the nation for the number of colleges and 25th for the number of students enrolled. One way to capture the vibrancy of Kentucky higher education is to examine the college experience in Louisville, along with the city's distance learning options.
Kentucky's most populous city maintains a befitting collection of higher education facilities, with five four-year universities, one community college, two theological seminaries, and a handful of technical and business schools. The best-known entity is probably the University of Louisville, a state-supported research university whose Health Sciences Center has received numerous accolades for its work with artificial hearts, hand transplants and failing eyesight treatments. Its faculty contributes to research on crucial subjects like sickle-cell anemia, AIDS, cancer and spinal-cord paralysis.
Jefferson Community and Technical College is the largest of Kentucky's 16 community colleges and second largest college in the region. With about 15,000 students across six campuses, Jefferson offers more than 70 two-year programs that lead to over 300 associate degree, diploma and certificate options. The popular Workforce Solutions program organizes collaborative projects with businesses and industries to promote customized education and professional development.
The University of Louisville offers several programs for those interested in earning their degree online, including both bachelor's and master's degrees. These off-campus programs maintain the same integrity as the on-campus experience. Online students can choose from a range of academic fields, such as communication, computer science, data mining, engineering, human resources, leadership, nursing and social work. Alternatively, learners might prefer the online options from Jefferson Community and Technical College, which hosts hundreds of online classes for students in Louisville and all across the state of Kentucky.
Students choosing to attend college anywhere might be prepared for the sticker shock that comes with higher education today. Tuition at colleges and universities in Kentucky cost an average of $12,000 for in-state residents in 2012, with higher rates for those who were living out of state at the time of enrollment. When compared to other states, Kentucky ranks 27th in the nation for resident tuition affordability.
There are usually fees associated with the college experience, and unfortunately, many students forget to include these in their financial assessments when choosing their educational path. Kentucky colleges averaged $1,200 in fees per student per year in 2012, bringing the average cost of college – tuition plus fees – to $13,273 per year.
Now that tuition and fees are established, what about other college expenses? Things like room and board, and other living expenses, such as school supplies and the like, should also be taken into account. It helps to attend a college where living costs are manageable. Kentucky has a favorable cost of living (COL) calculated at 10 percent below the national average. The following table takes a look at the COL for metropolitan areas in Kentucky, including how they compare to the national average (100%):
|Urban Area
|Composite Index
|Health Care
|Bowling Green
One of the most important considerations for a college student in Kentucky is accreditation. In order to earn accreditation, a college must prove that it meets certain quality standards of education, as set by a regional or national agency. This helps ensure that students are receiving a top-notch education, no matter where they earn their degree. Whether it's for a certificate or a degree, students should choose among two- and four-year colleges in Kentucky that are fully accredited.
Accreditation matters for students who want to receive financial assistance as federal funds are only released to schools that have current accreditation. In addition, most colleges only accept transfer credits from accredited schools, and some employers rarely consider applicants who graduate from programs that are not accredited. These are all excellent reasons to verify that the chosen school holds accreditation in good standing. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges is the primary regional accrediting body for educational institutions in Kentucky.
Those who want to earn undergraduate or graduate degrees or a certificate from online Kentucky colleges and universities have a great deal to think about before enrolling. This guide is meant to help students begin the journey, with information on the many distance learning programs available. The state's online colleges are ranked here according to several criteria, including their documented prowess in supporting students and creating innovative degree programs. Setting the standard, the following institutions have been selected as Best Online Colleges in Kentucky for 2015-2016.
|Student-Teacher Ratio
|Financial Aid
|Eastern Kentucky University
Eastern Kentucky University is a regionally accredited institution that is a great options for students looking for online colleges in Kentucky. Many of the university's degree programs can be completed entirely online. Other programs may require students to meet residency requirements. Eastern Kentucky University offers six different start dates for online students.
|Murray State University

Here are Matt Hill's vaporings in The Telegraph about how "Netanyahu" and "Hamas" both "need each other" in order to perpetuate an easily solvable "problem." Because of Islam there is a world-without-end Jihad against Israel, which in turn necessitates awar of self-defense by Israel, an Infidel nation-state smack in the middle of Dar al-Islam, for as long as Muslims are taught that their central duty is to wage Jihad, so that the world, which rightly belongs to Allah and to the "best of peoples," that is the as-yet-unislamized world of Dar al-Harb, is subject everywhere (and not just "the West Bank" and "Gaza" as Matt Hill dreamily and dopily appears to believe, or pretends to believe) to domination by Islam, and Muslims rule, everywhere.
Here are Matt Hill's vaporings in The Telegraph on why there is, in the simple-minded view of the simpleton Matt Hill, a simple "solution" to the Jihad against Israel exists, and he, Matt Hill, is here to set us all straight, we who have ignored, like the gaping onlookers in Hogarth's print of Columbus making an egg stand upright, the most obvious point, as Matt Hill sees it, that there are no "irreconcilable differences" between the parties. And so there aren't, just as long as one ignores reality, as long as one ignores the tenets and teachings and attitudes and atmospherics of Islam, and pretends that it is just a little quarrel over cadastral affairs, a resolvable dispute merely over dunams of land.
I won't bother to discuss Matt Hill's complacent ignorance of history, including that of the League of Nations' Mandate for Palestine, or his amazing misdescription of the Armistice Lines of 1949 as "internationally recognized" boundary lines. He's an idiot, and I suspect he's about 25 years old, because his bland unawareness of this history is of a kind I now associate with the very young. But on that point - his age -- I could be wrong. He may be much older, and not quite the idiot he appears but, rather, a deep sympathizer with, and promoter of, the Arab cause. Those who know more about him are encouraged to share their knowledge of him.
But again, here's what Matt Hill misses, as he apparently has not looked at what's happening in northern Nigeria, or in Kenya, or in southern Sudan, or what happened in New York at the World Trade Center, , or Madrid at the Atocha Station, or in Moscow at the theatre, or in Mumbai, or in thousands of other places, far from Israel, such as Northern Nigeria and the Southern Sudan, where Muslims have waged war, conducted Jihad, on non-Muslims (or in some cases, Arabs -- as the best of Muslims, have waged war on non-Arab, and therefore inferior, Muslims, as with the Kurds in Iraq or now in Syria, being attacked and murdered by the local Arabs, or the black African Muslims in Darfur who were murdered, by the hundreds of thousands, by Muslims who thought of themselves as Arabs and therefore superior -- Islam, remember, is a vehicle for Arab supremacism).
It's Islam, Islam, Islam. It's a Jihad against Israel. It has no end. The only "solution" is that of deterrence, of an Israel that remains so overwhelmingly more powerful, militarily, that the Arabs and Muslims will not be able to wage open war, by violent means on it. That is what keeps, more or less, the peace between Arabs and Jews. And that's the only thing now, or in the future, that will ever keep that peace.
Matt Hill describes his "solution" which depends on us all pretending we can continue to igore Islam. How can we, when every day brings fresh news of Jihad, local Jihads whose sum is the world-wide Jihad, and when we can now see, up close, the attitudes and behavior of Muslims who have so foolishly been allowed to settle deep within the countries of Westeern Europe, behind what Islam teaches them are essentially the enemy lines, the lines of the House of War or Da al-Harb? Does Matt Hill think we haven't eyes to see? He may be an idiot, but many others, including those who only recently started to figure out Islam, because the behavior of Muslims world-wide made it impossible to continue to ignore the subject of Islam, are not quite so ignorant or so stupid.
How much of his nonsense are we expected to endure, and who permitted Matt Hill, unsupervised and still in his swaddling clothes, to squirt his meconium all over the the pages, of The Telegraph?

Thank you for putting that so well. I just came across Matt Hill's sputum in the Telegraph and could hardly believe someone of such callow naivety had been allowed to write for them. But then the ignorance about Islam is still very widespread, even among editors.

What got me was not the dismally predictable article itself, so much as the Comments attached themselves to it.
220 of them.
About 2 out of 3 were either out and out Jew-hating Muslims, or else two species of non-Muslim actively aiding the Jihad against the Jews, as a result of 1/ being a naive fool who actually believes Arab/ Muslim nonsense and lies about the Poooor Persecuted 'Palestinians' [tm] or 2/ being an active Jew-hater of the non-Muslim variety (or varieties, there are subspecies). All of those were far, far uglier than the article itself, but it is telling that such ugliness was summoned up - shall we say, invoked or evoked? - by the article, like demons responding to a suitable incantation.
On the other side, pitting their wits and their superior knowledge of history - and of Islam, Islam, Islam - against the malevolent (Muslim or non-Muslim) and against the Useful Idiot, were a valiant minority of the Righteous.

Hi, Matt Hill here.
5 Dec 2012
Hugh Fitzgerald
A "peace treaty" made by Muslims with non-Muslims is not the same thing as "peace." These are different things. The principle of Pacta Sunt Servanda (that is, treaties are to be obeyed) may seem, to someone in the Western world, so obvious that when, in courses in international law -- I well remember the astonishment of my classmates when Prof. Stanley Hoffman discussed the origin and development of the principle of Pacta Sunt Servanda, for they did not understand that this principle was not simply a given, rather than what it was, a key development in the Western tradition of public international law.
Western, but not Muslim. For in Islam the model of treaty-making with non-Muslims is the agreement made by Muhammad at Hudaibiyya in 628 A.D. with the Meccans. Mr. Hill, and othes, can find out the details of that agreement by googling "Hudaibiyya" and can find disussions of it at many Musilm sites, and in such scholarly works as Majid Khadduri's study "War and Peace in Islam."
It is incumbent upon Muslims never to make a permanent peace treaty with non-Muslims, but it is perfectly okay to make a "Hudna" or "truce treaty" in order to obtain some benefit, and then, when the time is right, to break that hudna. Egypt wanted Israel to give up the entire Sinai, which by force of arms Israel had won in the Six-Day War. It was by no means necessary for Israel to do so; countries are free to retain territory won in wars of self-defense, and the map of Europe today reflects clearly that, and even more than that, simply that at times, given history, the winner of a war, or a country that is on the winning side, pockets territory. Think, for example, not only of all the territorial adjustments made after World War II, but of Italy's being awarded what is now the Alto Adige and formerly was Austrian Sudtirol. By its "peace treaty" with Israel, Egypt managed to get back, in three tranches, all of the Sinai, together with sixteen billion dollars (in 1978 dollars, which would be far more in 2012) in Israeli improvements and infrastructure. This infrastructure included three advanced airfields, the resort of Sham el-Sheikh (now a hard-currency money-make for Egypt), oilfields,and roads. In return, all Egypt was asked to do was to encourage friendly relations, and discourage hostile ones, through such modest acts as allowing Israelis to participate in book and film fairs, encouraging tourism between the countries, ending the non-stop anti-Israel (and antisemitic) campaigns in the carefuly controlled Egyptian press, and so on. Egypt remember, had in 1956 been handed back the Sinai, in return for promises by Nasser about freedom of shipping through the Suez Canal and, especailly, the Straits of Tiran, and a promise not to send Egyptian troops into the Sinai -- all of which promises were broken, the latter two in mid-May when, to hysterical Cairene crowds, Nasser promised he would soon destroy Israel, demanded of U Thant the removal of the U.N. peacekeepers, and declared a blockade of the Straits of Tiran).
It was Carter and Brzezinski who pressured the emotional, and inffective Begin to give away the store, and he did. Once the Sinai was safely back in Egyptian hands (the very Sinai which, some may not realize, only became part of Egypt in the 1920s (see, for example, the map and comment by Colonel Meinertzhagen in his celebrated Diary), the Egyptians proceeded to break every one of those solemn commitments. Mubarak even refused, though invited dozens of times, to set foot in Israel, though he did go once -- to Rabin's funeral.
As to the "hudna" with Jordan, the Jordanians under King Hussein found it to their advantage to come to a modus vivendi with Israel. He, King Hussein, whose power reseted on the Bedouin tribes, had no wish to have the Arabs now under Israel's control to be thrust back under Jordanian control. He wanted agreements on water, and on trade, and above all, he wanted American aid and Most-Favored-Nation status, and by signing a "truce treaty" got all of thos things. Does anyone think that "truce treaty" will last a minute if and when those who take Islam to heart manage to overturn the Hashemite rule in Jordan?
Again, those who think that those "peace treaties" signed by two Muslim states, in order to obtain immediate and tangible benefits (land, American aid, and so on) are seen by Muslims as solemn commitments simply have failed -- so many do not even see it as their responsiblity to find out what is so easy to find out through a week or two of solid study -- what the Treaty of Hudaibiyya means, and what exactly Qur'an, Hadith, and Sira teach about the duty of Jihad. Let me sum that duty of up: Jihad is the duty, collective and sometimes individual, incumbent on Muslims to work toward the goal of ensuring that the entire world, which belongs to Allah and to the "best of peoples" (the Believers) comes under the domination of Islam and Muslims rule, everywhere. This goal can be furthered by various instruments: qital or conventional combat, terrorism(see Qur'an 9.29 and 9.5 and dozens of other Jihad verses), propaganda ("pen, tongue"), money, and the latest instrument,made possible by the ignorance of so many in the Western elies, of demoraphic conquest from within.
Perhaps Mr. Hill, and others, will decide he really ought to make Islam his study if he wishes to make pronouncements about Muslim states, and those against whom a relentless Jihad is most obviously waged. For, along with global warming and the rise in the Gini coefficient seemingly inexorably toward an intolerable level, the other great matter of the age is this very Jihad, and the continued failure to understand it -- even as it is being so obvioulsly waged, with news coming in daily, in Burma and Sudan, in Nigeria and Kenya, in Mumbai and at the Parliament Building in Delhi, in the banlieues of France, in the Atocha metro and the Moscow theatre, in a cathedral in Bologna and in rural Tuscany, along canals in Amsterdam, and in Hamlet Towers in London, and elsewhere, too, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Confucians, and all other non-Muslims remain, and will always remain, its targets. Just look around.

The U.S. Air Force continues to upgrade its Minuteman III missiles, a process that will continue through the end of the decade. The upgrades include new electronics and rocket motors, as well as improvements in the silos and communications. The air force is also looking into using ICBMs with conventional warheads, and GPS guidance to enable the Minuteman to take out small targets quickly. The Minuteman third stage, that originally contained three 440 pound nuclear weapons, is being replaced with the more capable one from the Peacekeeper ICBM. The Minuteman III is 70 feet long, 5.5 feet in diameter and weighs 32 tons. The Peacekeeper is a four stage missile that carried ten warheads. The Peacekeeper is 71 feet long, 7.7 feet in diameter and weighs 88 tons. The Peacekeeper is being taken out of service because not many (50) were put into service before the Cold War ended, and disarmament treaties outlawed some of its features. The upgraded Minuteman III is expected to remain in service until 2020, at which point it will be replaced by a new missile design. Current disarmament treaties have the United States reducing nuclear warheads to fewer than 2,200 in the next few years.

Amarin reported positive topline results from a Phase III study evaluating its lead product AMR101 in patients with mixed lipidemia (two or more lipid disorders). The 12-week Anchor study showed that compared with placebo, both doses of AMR101 reduced triglyceride levels (the primary endpoint) without concurrently raising LDL-C levels (a secondary endpoint) in patients receiving background statin therapy. 73% of patients in the trial were diabetic, and the results were significant for both diabetic and nondiabetic participants. Amarin says the Anchor trial results support and build on data from the Phase III Marine study reported in November 2010. Marine evaluated AMR101 in patients with very high triglyceride levels (>500 mg/dL).
Specifically, the Anchor study demonstrated that the 4 g and 2 g daily doses of AMR101 led to statistically significant placebo-adjusted median reductions in triglyceride levels of 21.5% and 10.1%, respectively among mixed lipidemia patients on statin therapy. Moreover, the 4 g dose of AMR101 led to a 6.2% reduction in LDL-C levels from baseline, compared with placebo. The 2 g dose led to a 3.6% reduction in LDL-C. Non-HDL-C levels decreased 13.6% in the 4 g cohort, and by 5.5% in the 2 mg cohort. Statistically significant decreases in Apo B, Lp-PLA2 and VLDL-cholesterol were also observed.
"The Anchor trial results are even more remarkable than the broadly positive Marine trial results," remarks Joseph S. Zakrezewski, Amarin CEO. "We believe these results clearly differentiate AMR101 from other triglyceride-lowering therapies and position AMR101 to be both first-in-class and best overall therapy for treating the high triglyceride population."
AMR101 is a prescription-grade omega-3 fatty acid, which Amarin is developing as a prescription medicine for patients with very high triglyceride levels (> 500 mg/dL), and as what it claims is a potentially first-in-class treatment for patients with high triglyceride levels (200-500 mg/dL) who are also on statin therapy for raised LDL-cholesterol levels. The firm is separately planning to develop the product for preventing cardiovascular events.
Amarin expects to submit an NDA to FDA for approval of AMR101 as a treatment for very high triglycerides in the third quarter of 2011, based on the Marine study data. The firm said it may also decide to add the Anchor trial results to the NDA, depending on certain conditions including the timing of submission. In order to obtain a separate indication for AMR101 based on the Anchor trial results, FDA would require the firm to have a clinical outcomes study substantially under way at the time of NDA filing.
