Game: Hammerwatch
It's not breath taking by any means, but it is a WONDERFUL, game for those who want to go simple- key word there -simple, dounge crawling, if it was more advanved in game play (more monsters, armor an what have you such as stone-crawl Soup) then this game would have me saying it's breathtaking. for now, it is an excellent game for those who want a good hack, shoot, an slash game, so far i've played it, maybe there's more to it then i can see?
Either way, the upgrade system is good and gves you more fo a reason to race for the coins!
Game: Oolite
It's a great game! Using a controller instead of the majority of the keys helps greatly in gameplay, however that is not to say you can't play with the keys, it's simply easier with the cotnroller. However you still need the keys in order to do certian things, Hyper-jumping or WitchSpacing, and to function in the Station, but that is not a hinderence to teh game. The use of OXP's for expansion is easy a simple to use from what i can tell too.
Give this game a shot oif you loved the old Elite or EVE online, or any other 6DoF shooters!
Game: Running with Rifles
GREAT game! Hopefully it will be greenlighted soon to get much more players in the community.

At least one person is dead after an accident involving a semi and a car Sunday morning.
State patrol said the accident happened on Highway 160 on La Veta Pass. That is west of Walsenburg.
The highway was initially closed while emergency crews respond to the scene. One lane of alternating traffic has not been opened up, but State Patrol still asked drivers to use an alternate route, if possible, because of traffic backups.
The road was completely reopened around 1:45 p.m.

BELLEVILLE — New senior housing to be built adjacent to St. Peter's Cathedral has been approved for federal tax credits that will help get construction started next year.
The Illinois Housing Development Authority Board will allocate tax credits that are expected to generate an estimated $5.7 million for The Cottages at Cathedral Square in downtown Belleville. The new senior housing development will consist of 32 one- and two-bedroom units. The approximately 1,000-square-foot "cottages" will be built within the block bordering South First Street, West Harrison Street, South Second Street and West Garfield Street.
Illinois Housing Development Authority spokeswoman Rebecca Boykin said the project will cost an estimated $8.2 million and is one of nine housing redevelopments recently approved for federal tax credits across the state.
Along with the site in Belleville, Sinai Village II in East St. Louis is the other metro-east housing development to be approved for federal tax credits. The Mount Sinai Development Corp. in the Winstanley neighborhood is handling this project. Additional details about this development were not available.
"Federal tax credits are an excellent tool for financing affordable housing opportunities for people of Illinois," Boykin said.
Federal tax credits finance more than 100,000 apartments nationwide each year. The state housing authority allocates federal tax credits to sell to investors and then generate private equity for this type of housing development. This helps reduce the debt that the developer would otherwise have to borrow. As a result of the lower debt, a tax credit property can offer lower rent to low income tenants.
The Rev. John Myler, pastor of the Cathedral, said he is grateful to the Illinois Housing Development Authority, local lawmakers Sen. James Clayborne, D-Belleville; Rep. Jay Hoffman, D-Swansea; St. Clair County Board Chairman Mark Kern, Belleville Mayor Mark Eckert, the Belleville City Council, consultants and project partners Southern Illinois Health Foundation and Metropolitan Housing Development Corp. for bringing the downtown redevelopment closer to reality.
"The dream has been to offer seniors a new, quality, affordable and safe place to live ... a residential community here in downtown Belleville and an attractive part of the Cathedral neighborhood," Myler said.
The church initially announced the project in October 2009. Existing homes and a vacant tavern were razed in September 2011. Myler said the former pants factory building on South First Street that abuts the McCormick Center, the Cathedral grade school's gymnasium, has remained vacant for the past four decades and is set to be demolished later this year.
"The demolition of the old, derelict pants factory will soon be a very visible sign of what's coming, a beautiful new community of affordable housing for seniors, beneficial to the Cottage residents, to their neighbors and to our city," he said.

Primary Years (K-4)
At the heart of the Soundview Primary Years Programme (PYP) philosophy is a commitment to structured student inquiry. The PYP combines the best research and practice with a wealth of knowledge and experience from international schools. The curriculum encourages international-mindedness, a positive attitude to learning and reflects real life with meaningful, in-depth inquiries into real issues. An IB programme of inquiry is designed to be accessible and relevant to all learners. Soundview School provides learning environments that are flexible and engaging, where:
- Students are seen as competent and are listened to.
- Students are encouraged to be curious, be inquisitive, ask questions, explore and interact with the environment physically, socially and intellectually.
- Students are supported in their struggle for mastery and control on their journey to become independent, autonomous learners.
- The learning experiences are customized to accommodate the range of abilities and learning styles in the group.
The PYP's holistic approach focuses on the total growth of children, encompassing social, emotional, physical, and cultural needs in addition to academic rigor. As a result, students have the necessary tools to be successful, independent people. Children are full of curiosity, and the PYP provides a framework that gives crucial support for them to be active inquirers and lifelong learners.
The PYP curriculum framework consists of six transdisciplinary themes. These themes reflect a set of shared human experiences, or "core commonalities," that form the basis of an international education. From Kindergarten through 4th grade, students engage in six units of inquiry that correspond to these themes. Each unit of inquiry is designed to give students a well-rounded and developmentally appropriate educational experience. The units are carefully planned and students are encouraged to contribute their own curiosity to the development of each unit. The units are transdisciplinary, integrating traditional subject areas.
Who we are
Where we are in place and time
How we express ourselves
How the world works
How we organize ourselves
Sharing the planet
Our ancestors help us understand our identity.
Understanding how people lived in the past sheds light on the resources and way of life of the present.
Understanding various styles of art deepen the appreciation of the audience.
Inventions solve problems that help shape the future.
Communities function when members understand their roles.
Animal groups adapt to their habitat.
|1st Grade
Friendship based on mutual effort contributes to emotional health.
Navigation tools assist in understanding our position in the universe.
Autobiography allows us to share our personal experiences.
Understanding natural systems may affect survival.
A community makes decisions which affect how its members get help.
Interdependence of organisms may promote biodiversity.
|2nd Grade
Community membership may contribute to self-identity.
Homes provides shelter, protection, and may provide safety.
Stories contain common elements that reflect the culture of the author.
Dynamic forces affect the composition of the Earth.
Transportation plays a role in connecting agricultural production with distribution.
Human activities can challenge plant and animal survival.
|3rd Grade
The health of your skeleton may affect your quality of life.
The need for new opportunities drives migration.
Storytellers use a variety of media to reach their audience.
Work may require mechanical assistance.
Resources force consumers to make economic decisions.
Access to equal opportunity
|4th Grade
Food and exercise choices impact the human body.
Exploration may lead to new discoveries.
Media has the power to influence.
Our solar system is part of a larger universe which affects life on Earth.
Governments provide structure for society.
We need skills of negotiation and diplomacy in peace making.
Learn About the PYP: A Basis for Practice
Literacy in the PYP includes reading, writing, listening, and speaking. These skills are taught both within the units of inquiry and as stand-alone lessons. As our students move at different paces along the continuum of literacy development, our PYP teacher team works flexibly with a variety of curriculum materials to ensure that specific learning needs are met. While much of our curriculum is teacher and student created, each grade maintains consistency of skills through the use of standard elements of the curriculum such as Handwriting Without Tears and Words Their Way for phonics and word study.
Singapore Math provides the foundation of the Soundview math curriculum for all of our students. The curriculum was developed by the Ministry of Education in Singapore and is being adopted in many U.S. schools due to its focus on greater depth of study and students' increased mastery of math concepts. Students use manipulatives and visual representations as they move through the continuum of development, using concrete, pictorial and abstract elements. The curriculum encourages students to reflect on how, why and when they are solving problems. It provides the tools needed to break down complex concepts and problems, which in turn supports positive attitudes and greater confidence in our students.
Art ⁄ Music ⁄ Spanish ⁄ PE
The PYP Art program at Soundview inspires a new avenue in seeing, problem solving and visual communication skills. Through hands-on projects, students learn by doing. Students are presented with four art strands:
- creative process
- elements of art and design
- visual arts in society
- reflection and appreciation
Art lessons integrate with core subjects and use PYP transdisciplinary themes to organize the units of study. Our projects are designed for students to explore various art mediums and discover a wide range of art techniques. Visual art education aims to encourage innovation, creativity and self-expression.
Students complete a series of art exercises designed to strengthen their fundamental understanding of the elements and principles of art. Students learn to draw from observation, learn basic blending techniques using colored pencils and oil pastels and express their ways of seeing with watercolors and acrylic. They also explore mono print, make collage art and create 3-D sculptures. An emphasis is placed on the studio-related skills of becoming more familiar with the different stages of the creative process and students use a sketchbook as a reflective tool to record ideas or observations. Students also begin to discover the interrelationship between the elements of art and principles of design and they develop an awareness and appreciation for the varied perspectives on how art is made, viewed and valued.
The primary goals of the PYP music program is to build a comprehensive framework for understanding, using, coding and expressing music, while also encouraging students to develop a clear sense of their musical self.
The PYP music curriculum is designed and presented using the Kodaly-inspired philosophy of music education. An expansive repertoire of learned folk songs and music games provide the major body of reference for the development of music fundamentals and the components of music literacy. Songs and music games of other cultures are studied, along with the rich and diverse material of the American music heritage. In addition, students at Soundview explore all types of instrumental music. Young students begin with rhythm-based instrument playing. Students then progress to studying orchestral, band, and world instruments. Not only do they learn to play the instruments, they learn about instrument classification and mechanical and scientific operation. In preparation for 5th grade band, all 4th grade students are guided through the instrument selection process with special attention to the individual student's preferences and needs.
The PYP Spanish program is designed to prepare our students for more intensive language study as Spanish becomes a Middle Years Programme (MYP) core class.
Our program emphasizes fun, active participation in a safe, nurturing environment. Our Spanish teacher joins our library and media specialist to present bilingual storytimes and puppet shows and they also utilize drama and conversation to expose our students to the language. The Spanish teacher also works directly with the PYP classroom teachers to support the PYP units of inquiry. Together the teachers present Spanish instruction as it relates to the units.
Students learn and review Spanish vocabulary in numerous categories, such as the alphabet, colors, shapes, numbers, family members, time, and common expressions. Themes in Spanish culture also represent an important part of the curriculum.
Our PE program aims to help our students become more well-rounded in their physical fitness and instill a life-long value of health. Our PYP students follow the CrossFit Kids curriculum, which does not coach them to be good at just one thing. The workouts consist of constantly varied, functional movements that provide a fitness that is broad and inclusive. In general, no two workouts are the same, so the students never get bored and the novelty of each workout keeps them excited about participating. The functional movements involve exercises that are fundamental to all things that children need to do when they play. The workouts will increase physical competence in 10 fitness domains: cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. In addition to two CrossFit Kids classes per week, the PYP students will spend their third class of the week engaged in a variety of group games designed to encourage positive sportsmanship, community building and fun.

My basement smells like a locker room. There is a soccer ball in my master bathroom and a lacrosse ball rolling around the back of my car (which I now know, has a four hockey bag limit—they should have put that in the sales brochure).
'Tis the season I suppose, except that with three kiddos fully engaged in playing soccer and now hockey, I feel like the sports seasons never end. And if I take a minute to think about it, I don't really mind it. Am I crazy? Probably.
Yes, there is chaos. Three kids usually means three different practice times, three water bottles to be filled, three smelly jerseys (and kids) to be cleaned. But it also means there is a running conversation in our house that I never imagined. My 10, 7 and 5 year old talk to each other about practices and games (how'd you do? have you ever done this drill? how many goals did you score?). They practice with one another and share tips on everything from ill-fitting equipment to actually sharing equipment. There is a common bond between my gang that until now, has not been formed through school or any other interests. They are separated enough by gender and age to avoid any real competition (for the moment) and can just enjoy their sweaty home team.
We didn't plan this sporty clan. We let our son choose his path and we dutifully chauffeured. Who knew that his sisters would follow suit? I have joked that they adopted an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mentality, but I see it differently now. I think they saw the fun their brother was having, and tired of sitting on the sidelines, my girls decided to get in the game. And while I am glad my son is keeping busy, playing sports and having fun, I am more than a little thrilled when I see his sisters take to the field or ice.
I can't help but hear those familiar statistics run through my brain: girls in sports are less likely to drink or do drugs, girls in sports do better in school, girls in sports have higher self-esteem. But you know what? I have a boy in sports too and thankfully these stats apply to him as well.
I had once fantasized that my brood would be connected through a sacred family tradition or shared genetic features. This isn't always the case. And if together, my boy and girls can help each other strengthen their identities and build confidence through a common love of sports, then our entire family will surely benefit as a whole (although I can't say our odorous basement will fare so well).

Player of the Week -- December 1, Darius McMillan, Brookville
Sort of like the Heisman Trophy, it's difficult for defensive players to win our Player of the Week honors. Quarterbacks and running backs have the offensive stats that pop off the page.
Unless of course you're a one-man wrecking crew like Brookville's Darius McMillan was in the state semifinals against Tunstall.
The junior lineman does everything big. Big plays, big personality, big mouth.
"Trash talk, get inside the guys' head," McMillan said.
Brookville coach Jeff Woody said, "It seems like he puts some thought into his trash talking. Because it's always clever, he's always going to stay one-up on you."
There was plenty to talk about after he blew up Tunstall in the state semifinals last week.
"When they tried to double team me and I got a sack I was just like, 'You just can't handle me,'" McMillan said.
Number 53 terrorized the Trojans all afternoon. Eight solo tackles, four behind the line of scrimmage. Two sacks, and throw in two fumble recoveries for good measure. After all that, the sacks especially, he's been known to bust some moves.
"Crosses his arms, he salutes, he'll rub his helmet as if he's got hair. He's a mess, but I enjoy it. He's got some swagger," Woody said.
McMillan is only a junior, and even got a few carries at running back on the JV last year. Now he starts both ways, paving the way for the Bees at left guard, and hunting down opposing ball carriers at defensive tackle.
"One of those National Geographic hunters. He's the lion hunting the gazelle. He's played his tail off this year," Woody said.
He played sparingly on special teams in last year's state championship game. So he is extra motivated for Saturday's rematch with James Monroe.
"I just want to be a part of us winning a state championship. I want to be one of the reasons why we get that ring," McMillan said.
And if the Bees do win another ring, you'll be sure to hear about it from Darius.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

A former employee of the Smoke Stack on University Boulevard broke into the shop repeatedly to steal more than a $1,000 in lottery tickets, police said.
Moon Township Police arrested 23-year-old Raymond Forrester, of Oakdale, early Wednesday morning as he was pulling out of the store's parking lot of Carnot Road in a white pick-up truck.
Police Chief Leo McCarthy said Forrester left his job at the tobacco products store a month ago, but has since used a security code to access the store 15 times, stealing dozens of lottery tickets valued at $1,100.
Officer James Kazmierczak said the store has reported multiple burglaries in recent weeks, but the building showed no signs of forced entry, according to a complaint.
The burglaries were captured on the store's surveillance camera system. View the video in the media above.
Officers spotted Forrester's truck in the Smoke Stack parking lot as they were responding to a panic alarm at the building, Kazmierczak wrote.
When approached by police, Forrester said he was an employee who was stopping in to pick up his cell phone charger. Police later confirmed that he was no longer working for the business.
Forrester waived his Miranda rights and confessed to the burglaries, police said.
He has been charged with one count of burglary with 14 additional counts to come, McCarthy said. He has also been charged with criminal trespass and theft by unlawful taking.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 8 in Coraopolis District Court.

Dedham Middle School's Sixth grade teachers, Sue Lyons, Andrew Patterson, and Rebecca Huff, organized another successful "Thanksgiving Food Drive" recently, held at the school.
With the help of their classes, and the 600 plus students throughout the school, almost 2,000 pieces of non-perishable food items were collected these past few weeks.
Each year, the students, teachers, and families from the Dedham Middle School have been very generous with their donations to the Dedham Food Pantry.
According to Food Pantry President, Lindsay Barich, all donations, regardless of size, have a significant impact in our community. The Pantry's motto: "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" has rung true for over 21 years now.
This is the one organization in town, that does not receive any government funding and has no paid employees.
Especially around this time of year, Barich (himself a volunteer for the past 15 years) says that over 200 local families are served each week by the Pantry and its volunteers.
The Dedham Middle School's 30 homeroom teachers, collected and kept track of hundreds of donations, and students recently came in before school to pack and organize the goods.

Mascarpone and Nutella HeavenPosted: March 18, 2012 Filed under: Recipes | Tags: cheese, chocolate, dairy, dessert, food, mascarpone, nutella, photography, sweet Leave a comment
I'm proud to be writing about an awesome find in Hoboken this past weekend.
Saturday morning began with a city view blocked by incredibly dense fog over the Hudson River and the sound of a large cruise ship repeatedly blaring its horn (to avoid running over smaller boats, I guess). Nevertheless, the weather forecast called for yet another unseasonably mild winter day (March 20th = first day of Spring). It was the perfect opportunity to transition my 4-mile race (Central Park, first ever race, April 29th) training regimen from the treadmill to the streets. The outdoor air was brisk, crisp and fresh. A great start to the weekend.
Later that day, the Mrs. and I decided to go for a stroll around town and grab a late lunch. One of our stops was Italmoda, our favorite tailor in Hoboken on 6th and Jefferson. It was along that route that we came across a corner BYOB pizza joint called Dozzino. Although technically a pizza restaurant, Dozzino is anything but a stereotypical Hoboken pizzeria. It's not located on Washington Street and it does not sell pizza by the slice. Its charm, authenticity and minimalist decor drew us in. After sharing a bottle of prosecco and two pies (I ordered a plain pie while Tania ordered something spicy with meat), it was time for dessert – the best part of the meal (and inspiration for this post).
Dozzino had two items on their dessert menu: nutella ice cream and mascarpone/nutella crostini's. The thought of cheese and dessert didn't appeal to me so I went for the ice cream (which was delicious). That said, the crostini was even better! The unusual combination of mascarpone and sweet nutella along with a touch of salt created the perfect compliment of flavors and texture. You know that show on Food Network called "The Best Thing I Ever Ate"? This would be on there. It is that good.
By the time I got home, I was determined to recreate this sweet treat. How hard could it be; the name itself included two of the three ingredients. It didn't take long to come across the exact recipe posted by the owner Marc in an NJ.com article.
Do yourself a favor and try this right now!! No bake dessert that will take you about 30 seconds to create. Serve as a crostini, on a cracker or any way you wish.
Serving Size (up to you)
Estimated time: 5 minutes
- 3 parts mascarpone cheese
- 1 part nutella spread
- toasted sliced baguette or cracker
- using a spoon, mix nutella and mascarpone in a bowl
- spoon mixture onto a baguette or cracker
- sprinkle with salt
- serve immediately or store in fridge for a few minutes to make sure the cheese is not melted

G8 nations are 'Underachievers': School Report shows rich nations broke their promises to poor children
Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States have shown themselves to be misers when it comes to educating the world's children, says the Global Campaign for Education (GCE) in a new report titled 'Underachievers.'
"100 million children will not go to school today because of promises broken by rich countries like Germany, Italy, and the US. World leaders should be ashamed," says Kailash Satyarthi, President of the Global Campaign for Education.
The report shows that putting every child in school for the first time in history is easily affordable. It would cost $10 billion a year, which is 1 per cent of the trillion dollars the world spends annually on the military.
"What rich countries like Germany, Italy and the United States give to education is pocket money. The US gives barely $1 per citizen per year, compared to $20 dollars per person per year in the UK," according to Lucia Fry, policy advisor for the GCE.
In a class of the 22 richest countries in the world, Germany, Japan and Italy all receive an embarrassing final 'D' grade, coming 14th, 16th and 17th place in the class, and the richest country in the world, the United States, comes second to bottom of the class with an over all 'E' grade.
When rich countries established the Education for All Fast Track Initiative (FTI) in 2002, they promised to fund all poor countries with viable education plans. So far 20 poor countries have had their plans approved, but are still waiting for donors to provide the money. Next year the FTI projects a shortfall of $610 million.
Fulfilling this funding gap is the first step. The second step is for countries to remove the caps placed on public spending by IMF conditionalities. Governments must resolve the contradiction between IMF policies which prevent them from scaling up spending on education and hiring more trained teachers, the report also notes.
"Rich country leaders need a lesson in keeping promises to the 100 million children out of school. They should have to look these children in the eye and tell them why they are failing to deliver," says Gorgui Sow, Africa coordinator for GCE.Underachievers: A School Report on Rich Countries' Contribution to Universal Primary Education by 2015 – Global Campaign for Education report.

From the Editor
In his column this month, Rick Lehrbaum consolidates the embedded Linux arena into three basic categories: telecommunications infrastructure, handheld mobile devices and internet-edge devices (this includes server/gateway/firewall-type devices as well as digital set-top boxes). With the exception of the desktop, this includes just about everywhere one might expect to find Linux.
Rick has been tracking the progress of Linux in these areas for the last couple of years, reporting on tradeshows and devices that, exceptionally, ran Linux. However, that has changed very quickly, and now the trend that is impossible to ignore in Rick's columns is that the computing world is increasingly embedded, and embedded is increasingly Linux.
As Doc Searls has been saying often of late, "Linux has won." Consequently, the success stories that were so compelling two or three years ago about some company switching their servers to Linux have long since ceased to be news. This doesn't mean that there aren't fights to be fought and progress to be made, but it does mean that Linux and the open-source development model have certainly been proven as viable for every level of computing.
An indication of the success of Linux was the Open Source Development Lab's announcement at LinuxWorld, New York earlier this year of the Carrier-Grade Linux Working Group initiative—also discussed by Rick (LJ, May 2002). The group's goal is to aid in the creation of any component necessary to make Linux the best choice for carrier-grade applications.
In a related event, Ibrahim Haddad, whom many readers will recognize as a fairly regular contributor to LJ, e-mailed me recently to let me know that, after three years of hard labor, Ericsson is taking some of his group's work to the Open Source community. Ibrahim works as a researcher at the Ericsson Corporate Unit of Research in Montréal, Canada. The most important part of the work that is being open-sourced is an architecture for security on telecom-grade Linux clusters. It is called DSI (Distributed Security Infrastructure). Ericsson will be sponsoring its development and is looking to the Open Source community for help. They have officially joined the OSDL to work with other members of the Carrier-Grade Linux Working Group.
The DSI team has authored an article in this issue explaining the project (see page 92). The project's web site is not yet up, but anyone interested in contributing to it may contact any of the team members listed at the end of the article.
Richard Vernon is editor in chief of Linux Journal.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Thread: Gangs starting Early
Gangs starting Early
The number of gang members in the Washington-area suburbs is uncertain, but officials are positive it is growing with recruitment beginning as early as elementary school.
A triple homicide June 30 in Adelphi in which witnesses heard gunmen yell Mara Salvatrucha, which means Salvadoran gang served as a reminder that the gang presence in the region remains strong.
I know its growing, theres no doubt about that, Jack Schreck, gangs liaison for the Prince Georges school system, said of the increase in gang members in the county. Its a number of things. It would be ... the influx of immigrants. Were also seeing more of the West Coast influence coming east over the last year or two.
In June 2004, county police estimated there were 400 gang members in Prince Georges. Schreck estimates there are more than 1,200 gang members in the county.
However, statistics varied among different gang experts.
Numbers are also high elsewhere in the region, with Montgomery County reporting 900 gang members, according to Sgt. Charles Welch of the Montgomery police gangs unit.
However, although the gang presence is rising, gang violence so far has only accounted for a fraction of the county's murders. There were two gang-related murders in 2003, one in 2004 and eight last year. Last years gang killings accounted for less than 5 percent of the 173 homicides in Prince Georges.
So far this year, the police are reporting three gang-related homicides, although they were not clear on whether the three were from the June 30 Adelphi murders that are still under investigation. No arrests have been made in that crime.
[Gangs] are not driving violent crime, and we have no intention of letting it get to that point, said Sharon Taylor, spokeswoman for the Prince Georges Police Department. Whats driving violent crime is guns and drugs.
The most prolific gangs in the area are MS-13, which stands for Mara Salvatrucha, and Vatos Locos, or Crazy Guys. There is some activity in the region from the Bloods and Crips gangs that originated in California, but experts say some of the activity is just from individuals emulating those gangs, wearing their colors and referring to themselves by those names.
Prevention efforts
County States Attorney Glenn F. Ivey said gang recruitment is occurring in elementary and middle schools. Schreck agreed, stating that children as young as 7 are being targeted.
And so county officials and community leaders, alarmed by inroads gangs are making in suburban Maryland schools, are increasing prevention efforts.
The [gang] influence is so heavy because the peer pressure is just unbelievable that these young people are dealing with, said Darius Stanton, the interim regional vice president for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington.
Stanton and his staff have promoted the clubs gang prevention program with county youth for two years. Prince Georges schools sponsor a gangs awareness symposium for faculty and staff. Crossroads Youth Opportunity Center, which offers mentoring services, therapy, job training and other programs, opened May 1 in Takoma Park. Also, more youth mentoring programs have been appearing regionally.
Children, they just want something to do, said Stanton, who also works with the Boys and Girls Club out of Hyattsvilles Northwestern High School. He said the club has gone into schools to talk about gangs and offered recreational options such as soccer teams. The organization has also forged a partnership with the University of Maryland to provide the club with 45 tutors and mentors.
Fifteen-year-old Mariela Rodriguez agrees that being involved in the club is a much better option.
The junior at Northwestern High School in Hyattsville said the gang presence there is all around her, but she chose instead to join the Boys and Girls Club.
Theres all types of gangs in the school, Rodriguez said, estimating there are at least five or six. When someone wants to join one, the individual meets them for initiation, she said. After the gang jumps the recruit a process in which the recruit is beaten by gang members initiation is over.
Role model approach
School officials are also trying to educate parents and teachers of the signs of gang activity.
Experts say parents and teachers should be on the lookout for bandanas, tattoos and changes in students clothing. Parents especially should keep close watch on who their childrens friends are.
Ivey praised new and growing mentoring programs as efforts that are sorely needed.
Really where we come up short ... is the intervention and prevention phase, Ivey said. Some gangs are actively recruiting at elementary and middle school ages. The earlier you start, the better, I think, from a prevention standpoint.
County Executive Jack B. Johnson launched the Boyzz 2 Men mentoring program in April. It attracted nearly 2,000 young men who wanted to be mentored on the opening day.
That speaks volumes, Stanton said of the program. It just goes to show there are a lot of young men out there who really want to do the right thing.

- Choose DSLR body which fills all your needs from it.
- Choose DSLR body which fills all your needs from it.
For your price range, I'd suggest the Nikon d7000 over the 60d, and I'd suggest just one lens -the Nikon 18-200 vrii.
This is a very good combination. and, you won't have to carry an extra lens or worry about changing lenses.
From my reading/experience, they're both great cameras, but the d7000 AF and low light shooting are better...both of which will be important for the type of shooting you're describing.
Good luck either way, they're both good cameras that should bring years of enjoyment.
The 24-105 is a good choice because it is mid-wide to mid-telephoto, has image stabilization, and is sharp. The f/4 is not very fast, but you can add a 50mm f/1.8, which is an inexpensive fast lens for low light situations.
My advice is to get the camera refurbished from Adorama. You get a $100 discount from the new 60D price and Adorama provides a 1 year warranty. I bought my Canon point & shoot refurbished from Adorama and it was like a brand new camera.
Get the best lens(es) you can afford. The quality of your shots will be more dependent on your lens than the camera. Do not skimp here. Below is a good link for lens reviews.
Reviews: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-Lenses/Canon-General-Purpose-Lens.aspx
One thing I'd suggest -- avoid the temptation to cover every focal length at the expense of everything else. There's a big advantage to faster glass, the mistake beginners usually make is that they get some 18-270mm zoom at the expense of everything else.
Also, start with at least one prime in your kit even if it's just the 50mm f/1.8. Especially if your zooms are all slow variable aperture zooms, a fast prime will really help for portrait shots.
I'd recommend one general purpose like the 15-85, 17-55 f/2.8. or the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8. Would skip long tele to begin with unless you have a specific application in mind.
In terms of post-processing software. Many will recommend Lightroom, Aperture, Photoshop Elements, and even various plug-ins. Many people overlook the bundled software - Digital Photo Professional (aka: DPP). DPP is VERY good....
I would still go for the 24-105 over the 15-85 as:...
A slow super zoom covers all focal lengths but doesn't give you much control over exposure or depth of field, and you also compromise in terms of image quality
Especially for low light shooting, fast glass is important (and makes much more difference than the body)

Insights and ideas for technology leaders.
By Vinnie Lauria, Golden Gate Ventures
The Silicon Valley stereotype is one of rugged American individualism and Darwinian survival: the brilliant inventor who risks it all to build a billion dollar company from a parent's garage or a college dorm room. Outside-the-box thinking and self-reliance are viewed as fundamental to the Valley's ethos, driving forward the American economy one ground-breaking innovation at a time. Like most stereotypes, there's a core of truth: Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard really did build HP from scratch in a Palo Alto garage.
However, it's not innovation that sets Silicon Valley apart from other centers of technological development—it's a willingness to iterate. After all, even Hewlett and Packard, the spiritual godfathers of the Valley, got their start building audio oscillators for Disney, a technology that was first developed more than 40 years before. More recently, well-established tech companies have spun out start-ups such as Quora, leveraging both human capital and product development experience to improve execution on pre-existing concepts. In Quora's case, the founders were not the first to build an internet answers site (Ask Jeeves in 1996, Yahoo Answers in 2005), but instead were able to draw from their experience working at Facebook to apply a Facebook-style user interface to the well-trodden Q&A format.
Perhaps the key lesson from the Valley's rise and continued prominence as a global epicenter of creative output is that innovation does not occur in a vacuum; rather it's the result of generations of product iterations and failures that are eventually reorganized and recycled into the framework for a successful new product or company.
Shockley's "Traitorous Eight" were the Valley's Earliest and Most Successful Iterators
The story of William Shockley and the transistor is particularly emblematic of Silicon Valley's role as an idea and talent aggregator rather than pure technological innovator. Shockley was originally employed by Bell Labs, a subsidiary of the AT&T telecommunications monopoly and the most successful industrial laboratory of the 20th century. (7 Nobel prizes have been awarded for work performed at Bell). As narrated in Jon Gertner's The Idea Factory, the idea for the transistor arose out of cooperation/competition between Shockley and his fellow team members at Bell. After being awarded the Nobel for their work, Shockley left Bell to form his own company in Silicon Valley—Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory—intending to commercialize the transistor. Shockley's lab would fail, but spun off a sister company called Fairchild semiconductor, consisting of the infamous "traitorous eight" who defected in protest of Shockley's abrasive management style. Fairchild's founders would eventually found successful semiconductor companies of their own, including the now well-known Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, as well as the VC fund Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which funded countless others.
We tend to think of seminal innovations in the Valley's history, such as the release of the Apple II personal computer in 1977, as proverbial lightbulb moments. Yet the truth behind a device like the Apple II isn't Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak as transcendent inventors, but a culmination of 30 years of iterative product development and failure in the highly complementary transistor industry—for example, the pair's influential visit to Douglas Engelbart's lab at Stanford Research Institute where they first glimpsed a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the mouse. In these cases, Silicon Valley provided a perfect combination of iterative know-how and geographical proximity to powerful networks and researchers.
How Farmville Hit it Big
A more recent example of iteration triumphing over innovation is Zynga gaming hit, Farmville. The concept for Farmville was based on a Japanese farming simulation game called Harvest Moon, first released for Super Nintendo in 1996. Later, in 2008, the social network based farm game Happy Farm was released by developer 5 Minutes on the Tencent QQ platform. Borrowing heavily from these previous iterations, Zynga released Farmville in 2009. As noted by Mark Skaggs, VP of Product Development for Zynga, the team's original idea was to make a real time strategy (RTS) game for Facebook. Skaggs describes the development process, another key aspect of the game which built on previous infrastructure, as follows:
We had multiple teams working on multiple titles at our company, and we simply grabbed pieces of code from other teams in the interest of shipping the game quickly. For example, our avatar creator was borrowed from YoVille. We've got pieces from the Mafia Wars team, the Poker team. Behind the scenes, a lot of the server code—transaction infrastructure, those kinds of technologies we were able to leverage from other teams as well.
Farmville was not unique in its idea, but was unique in its ability to execute, simply and elegantly, the well-trodden territory of a resource accumulation game. As with Shockley's transistor, iterations rather than innovations significantly accelerated the development process, leading to a successful product release.
The Sharing Economy's Iterative Winners
For many start-ups, the confluence of iterative product development and sound execution leads to success—not the initial idea. As James Hong, co-founder of Hot or Not and an angel investor, said to me, "Winners in Silicon Valley are not necessarily more innovative, but they are the ones that execute."
For example, the company AirBnB was not the first online short-term housing rental service. Among others, VRBO launched in 1996 (which Homeaway acquired in 2006), Couchsurfing.orglaunched in 1999, and Craigslist had a long history of matching apartment renters with sub lessors. However, AirBnB was successful, not because of the tweaked idea (a network of bed and breakfasts), but rather, because of a series of small iterations, from a well-designed interface, to a low-barrier of entry that opened up a new 'passive' marketplace, to a system of accountability that forced rapid responses to solve the asymmetry problem that continues to plague sites such as Craigslist. By incorporating user reviews, profiles, and an in-house private messaging system, buyers and sellers are able to match more efficiently without having to do extensive background work and diligence on potential customers/apartment owners. AirBnB's success is therefore intimately tied to social networking, drawing heavily upon the dual influences of Facebook-style personal profiles and degrees of separation to Ebay-style approval ratings. In this sense, AirBnB was not only iterative in its business model, but also in its implementation.
Why Facebook Needed the Valley
"Perhaps the self-reinforcing nature of these processes is the true driver of iterative development in the Valley, providing a framework whereby idea origination and execution can complement one another by drawing on the successes and failures of previous generations."
I think this nails it. These iterative feedback loops are hard to grow and maintain, which is why so many initiatives to artificially build these sort of "Silicon [insert geographic landmark here]" are prone to failure. There are so many moving parts that if you miss one, it all comes down.
Good read, good read!
Interesting to see Zynga copying from a Chinese company, is that the next place for innovation?
Innovation and iteration are not mutually exclusive. It takes innovation to understand what drives a niche group of customers to make purchasing decisions and to build a company by iterating on an existing product or idea for that customer base.
Eco-systems are of critical importance and your article confirms that. If they are difficult to replicate elsewhere then how do we ensure innovation and iteration can occur? What happens to emerging markets where there is a lack of an eco-system yet many great ideas can come from these markets.
An interesting column a few weeks ago in The Netherlands stated that actually most innovation comes from government and scientific research. Large corporations and startups use the outcome of this research to create products and services. In that case you could state that governments and universities are the true innovators.
I do fully agree that iteration and execution lies at the source of Silicon Valley's global success (in my humble opinion).
The growth of Silicon Valley will obviously not continue forever. The past has shown that it can quickly find themselves in a vulnerable position, even if it is ultimately very well drawn because of seizures due to crashes equity and other financial problems that particularly affect Silicon Valley
Perhaps would have been necessary to emphasize the role of Stanford University, who works closely with businesses in the valley and is a real tank to promising students.
Soon there will be real competition with Silicon Valley in China
Silicon Valley is american dream high-technology version
It is not simply the story of a few individuals. Silicon Valley was born in the development of standards related to an emerging infrastructure development inevitable. When all key factors were collected to serve the needs of the individual entrepreneur, the "collective entrepreneur" was born. The story of the entrepreneurs who have started and expanded their businesses in this part of California shows how a community or region can become the collective entrepreneur. The entire region behaves as if it were itself an entrepreneur, demonstrating the potential synergy that represent ideas, finance and talent.

Willes: Gillis draws a line in the sand
Canucks GM may or may not be back, but if he is, he wants the autonomy to shape the team his way
Things were so much rosier back on June 25, when John Tortorella glad-handed GM Mike Gillis and team owner Francesco Aquilini as he was introduced as the new head coach of the team. Less than a year later, Gillis and Tortorella are at odds, and the Aquilini's heard a form of ultimatum on Thursday.
Photograph by: Rich Lam, Getty Images
In the heady days of Goalie Confidential, the Vancouver media stood in awe of the juicy storylines served up by the Roberto Luongo-Cory Schneider job share and dubbed it "the gift that keeps on giving."
And it was spectacular stuff. Hot streaks. Cold streaks. Big egos. Trade rumours. The Luongo press conference. The best part? It went on for the better part of two years.
There was a time, in fact, when we wondered what would do for material when Schneider was traded away last summer. That, of course, was before John Tortorella was hired to coach the Vancouver Canucks and made Goalie Confidential seem like the sidebar from a Tuesday night game against Nashville.
It doesn't seem possible, but the Canucks have outdone themselves with the latest drama involving the Aquilini family, GM Mike Gillis and head coach John Tortorella. This story, which has been percolating since the Canucks began to head south in the new year, exploded in spectacular fashion on Thursday when Gillis emerged from his long silence and, essentially, delivered an ultimatum to the Aquilinis: It's me or the coach.
It's Torts' turn to serve on Friday and we still have nine more days before the end of the season when, maybe, a decision is made and we get to another round of analysis.
It's been great theatre. And the best part? The show isn't closing any time soon.
"The running of this team is my responsibility," Gillis said on the team's radio rightsholder.
And while he said a bunch of other stuff — some valid, some not so much — that was his core message, and he wasn't sending it to listeners in radio land.
There has been a power struggle within the Canucks for some time now, and while ownership — specifically Francesco Aquilini — goes apoplectic at its mention, Gillis's interview on Thursday revealed much about that inner turmoil. It isn't just the losing this season that's eaten away at Gillis. It's the betrayal of his principles which preceded the losing.
We'll leave to you to conclude what that says about the decision to hire John Tortorella to coach the team in the first place. But what it says about Gillis's long-term plan is now crystal-clear.
He wants the Canucks to play the uptempo, speed-and-skill team that was their calling card during his first three, four years in Vancouver. More importantly, he wants the autonomy to move the team back in that direction. On Thursday, he was telling ownership 'you want to bring me back, fine, but if you do, stay out of my way.'
Who he was talking to is the next question, and it seems those remarks were addressed as much to Luigi Aquilini, the patriarch of the family, as any of his sons. The elder Aquilini is the wild card in all this, and he isn't exactly an open book.
But he also signs off on all Canucks decisions, and whatever else Gillis has done in his time with the Canucks, he's run an extremely profitable operation while increasing the value of the franchise and the building. That isn't lost on Aquilini Sr. Nor is the damage that's been done to the Canucks' brand this season.
Gillis also seemed to be trading off his track record during his interview. On more than one occasion he referred to the plan, the vision he brought to the Canucks in 2008 and the success the team's had prior to this season. He said that blueprint can be successful again if given a chance, and there were still players here who could play that style of game.
True, he conveniently ignored a laundry list of terrible personnel decisions — the Keith Ballard trade, the David Booth trade, the mishandling of the two goalies, a brutal draft record leading up to last summer — that contributed mightily to this season's debacle.
But this was Gillis's interview and he was making his case. You wouldn't expect complete disclosure.
As for Tortorella, you didn't have to be particularly insightful to understand Gillis's position on the head coach, and, to remove any doubt, the GM suggested there are reasons why virtually every player on the team is under-achieving this season.
The coach gets his turn to speak on Friday. Just so you know, that's not going to kill this story.
Gillis, for his part, doesn't know if he's in or out, but after Thursday, one thing is certain: the Aquilinis now know what they can expect from him and they know what he expects from them. If he comes back he's running the show his way, according to his principles.
You might not think he's earned that right, but after a season in which the Canucks were confused about their identity, Gillis at least offers clarification there.

A felon wanted for shooting a 22-year-old Ferndale man to death may have been sighted on Slater Road Monday, Sept. 23.
A sheriff's deputy pulled over a woman for a routine traffic stop Monday morning, near Slater and Red River roads, surrounded by farmland. Just as the vehicle came to a halt, a passenger dressed in all black swung open the door and sprinted off, said Whatcom County Undersheriff Jeff Parks.
The woman claimed the fleeing man was Salvador Rodriguez - a name local law officers haven't forgotten since the 2011 shooting of Jesse Winchester, 22, at a drug house in Lynden. A man named Salvador Rodriguez, also known as Chuco, has been charged with second-degree murder but never caught.
Deputies strongly suspect the man on Slater Road was wanted for some crime - most people don't just run from police for no reason - but they're not positive it's the same person, Parks said. Regardless, it elicited a huge law enforcement response around 9:30 a.m. Monday.
A border helicopter, police dogs and officers from neighboring agencies combed through muddy cornfields and set up a perimeter in search of a Hispanic man dressed all in black, with a black baseball cap and a black backpack.
In the meantime the woman's story changed.
"I wouldn't even say we're 90 percent sure this is Salvador," Parks said. "The story's been it was him, or a boyfriend, or someone else."
Someone spotted a man covered in mud, matching the original description, around 2 p.m. west of the bridge at Marine Drive and Ferndale Road. So the police perimeter migrated to the south as the search continued.
Two years ago, a drug ripoff concocted by Jesse Winchester's father, Jeremiah, led to the 22-year-old Ferndale High School graduate's death, according to charging papers. The father and son had gone to a Lynden home to rob drugs and cash from the Rodriguez brothers, Salvador and Oscar. It turned into a gunfight, and Jesse took a fatal bullet to his lung. (Jeremiah, who has 16 felonies on his record, has since been sentenced to 20 years in prison.)
Police believe the Rodriguez brothers bolted for the Mexican border. Oscar Rodriguez, who was 15 years old at the time of the killing, later turned himself in at a border crossing in Arizona. He took a plea deal for second-degree murder in April. Whatcom County Superior Court Judge Deborra Garrett sentenced Oscar, aka Scrappy, to 14 years behind bars.
But Salvador remained at large. At the time of the killing, Salvador Rodriguez weighed 150 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a prominent neck tattoo. He's about 5-foot-7.
The name of the woman driving hasn't been released. She's homeless, Parks said, and claimed she'd been dropping off two kids at a bus stop Monday morning. It's not clear how long she'd known her passenger.
Prior to the manhunt, law enforcement had no tips suggesting Rodriguez might return to Whatcom County.
Lynden Police Chief Jack Foster suggested another local person might share the name with the suspected killer.
"But I would very much like it if it was (him)," the police chief said. "Keep your fingers crossed."

Lady Gaga Fame EDP 30ml
Lady Gaga Fame EDP 30ml is Lady Gaga's first signature fragrance which challenges every existing industry standard. Fame is an opulent, crushed-floral fragrance that's black in colour like the soul of fame but transparent once airborne.
Lady Gaga Fame Edp is an opulent and sophisticated crushed floral fragrance. Lady Gaga's Fame is the very first fragrance that features a black liquid, mirroring the soul of fame, that becomes transparent once sprayed. As original as Gaga herself, Fame's scent is entirely unique with dramatic styling, complete with gold gilded monster claws.
The scent itself is built upon 3 main accords including dark, sensual and light. The dark accord is inspired by Belladonna, the deadly nightshade possessed by haunted beauties since the 18th century. From this darkness, evolves the sensual accord of opulence with a blend of dripping honey, saffron and apricot nectar. The light accord on the other hand, whispers magnificence with a rich floral layer of crushed tiger orchid and jasmine sambac that evoke a timeless beauty.
