Funds Hub
Money managers under the microscope
Banks' pain could be hedge funds' gain
The seemingly endless drama of financial regulation has frequently fixed the spotlight on hedge funds, but there could yet be a twist in the tale.
At a breakfast briefing this morning at the City of London's plush Capital Club, law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman Cornish suggested the beleaguered hedge fund industry could even benefit from tighter rules.
Martin Cornish pointed out that, under whatever new rules finally come in, banks and insurance companies are unlikely to be able to conduct the highly leveraged or high risk trades they had previously carried out.
"Ironically, maybe we'll see more fund managers setting up (on their own)," he said.
"We may see some of the (banks') teams spin out and set up. We've certainly seen some more people knocking on our door, saying that's what they're doing.
"Some people say fundraising may be difficult, but given the markets maybe you don't need that much leverage, or that much money."
However, there may be a price, he noted, since more rules could also add to set-up costs for new hedge funds.
Meanwhile, the next act in the regulation drama unfolds next week when the European Commission proposes binding rules on hedge funds and private equity funds.
The draft law had been scheduled for today but suggestions are that there have been frantic last-minute debates between policymakers favouring stringent regulations — which could conceivably go as far as restricting EU investors from buying funds based outside the EU — and those favouring a UK-style model where the manager is regulated.

Background: To increase understanding of the relationship between sexual violence and mental illness, the authors assessed the legal histories and psychiatric features of 36 males convicted of sexual offenses.
Method: Thirty-six consecutive male sex offenders admitted from prison, jail, or probation to a residential treatment facility received structured clinical interviews for DSM-IV Axis I and II disorders. The participants' legal histories, histories of sexual and physical abuse, and family histories of psychiatric disorders were also assessed.
Results:The participants' mean +/- SD age was 33 +/- 8 years. They had been convicted a mean of 1.8 +/- 1.4 times (range, 1-9 times) for sexual offenses and incarcerated a mean of 8 +/- 6 years (range, 0-22 years). Participants displayed high rates of lifetime DSM-IV Axis I disorders: 30 (83%) had a substance use disorder; 21 (58%), a paraphilia; 22 (61%), a mood disorder (13 [36%] with a bipolar disorder); 14 (39%), an impulse control disorder; 13 (36%), an anxiety disorder; and 6 (17%), an eating disorder. Participants also displayed high rates of Axis II disorders, with 26 (72%) meeting DSM-IV criteria for antisocial personality disorder. In addition, subjects reported experiencing high rates of sexual (but not physical) abuse and high rates of Axis I disorders, especially substance use and mood disorders, in their first-degree relatives. Compared with subjects without paraphilias, subjects with paraphilias displayed statistically significantly higher rates of mood, anxiety, and eating disorders, as well as significantly higher rates of childhood sexual abuse.
Conclusion: Recognition and treatment of major psychiatric disorders among sex offenders may increase chances for successful rehabilitation, reduce recidivism and public victimization, and produce significant public health and economic benefits. More studies in this area appear warranted to search for more effective interventions for this severe public health problem.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — I believe Denis Leary put it best when he said on Twitter, "Remember - if you see a Sharknado, stay in your car and do not follow it. Unless you live in Florida."
It's subtle but it ties in two of the top trending items on social media for the week — the George Zimmerman trial and the SyFy original movie, Sharknado. Add in the controversy surrounding Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's face gracing the cover of Rolling Stone, and you pretty much have the entirety of the Internet for the week.
Let's start with the Zimmerman trial. I can't say I was shocked when I heard Saturday night that he was acquitted in the death of Trayvon Martin, but I was appalled. That said, I'm much less inclined to believe that it was some sort of racist conspiracy to let Zimmerman get out of jail free as that it was a case of justice and the law not always being the same thing.
I wasn't there. You weren't there. And to be honest, neither of us even watched much of the trial, right? But that sure doesn't seem to stop people from complaining (or rejoicing) about it online.
There's only two people that know exactly what happened … and one of them is dead. So only Zimmerman knows how it all went down. But the puzzle was pieced together by a number of witnesses and those witnesses talked to the jury. The jury, in turn, was instructed exactly what the law is and concluded that the charges didn't fit the situation.
Do I think the ruling was just? I do not. Do I think it was correct — according to the law? I regretfully believe that it was.
Meanwhile in Los Angeles, sharks got sucked out of the ocean by a huge tornado and dropped into the streets to wreak terror on the good citizens therein. At least that was the premise of Sharknado, the movie that took Twitter by storm (shoutout to the late Clip Smith for the inspiration for the bad pun) last Thursday.

When L.A. photographer Fredrik Nilsen traveled to Taos to visit Ken Price last September, a few months before the artist died of throat and tongue cancer, he did not know what to expect.
Although Nilsen had traveled within New Mexico a bit before, he had never spent time in Taos, let alone on the dramatic 7,500-foot-high mesa where Price had a home and studio with 360-degree views. He had never met the ceramic artist, who first came to fame through the Ferus Gallery in L.A. in the 1960s before moving with his wife, Happy, to New Mexico. And he had not seen pictures of his studio.

Napoli have started their season in tremendous fashion, winning their first three matches while continuing to display brilliant flashes of exciting play. Even more impressively, they trounced AIK by a score of 4-0 in their first Europa League match of the season. Edu Vargas scored a hat-trick, leading a side composed of almost entirely reserve players to demonstrate the new found depth of the partenopei.
Down in Sicily, things haven't quite gone to pieces as one might have predicted before the start of the season, what with Vincenzo Montella taking his exciting brand of football up to Florence. No, while that other team on the island might be crumpling, Catania remains at ease. They retained the majority of last season's squad, including Pablo Barrientos, Alejandro Gomez, and Gonzalo Bergessio.
That's not to say the rossazzurri aren't without their flaws. Their defence is still shaky, and if their front line is sluggish, they'll be easily beaten -- as acutely exhibited in their 2-0 loss to Fiorentina last week. The normally pacy Catania just couldn't be bothered, it seemed, and had no creativity to exhibit.
This week, however, they'll be at home and they'll be looking to make an impression, particularly considering the fact that Napoli have never won a match in Catania -- and have scored just four goals there. But this time, they're coming with fresh legs and some fresh faces. Lorenzo Insigne, relegated to the bench last week on Goran Pandev's return, scored his first goal in Serie A against Parma, and will be looking to prove his worth as a starter. But Pandev himself may prove hard to unsettle, looking confident playing just behind Edinson Cavani. Marek Hamsik, now out of the shadow of Ezequiel Lavezzi, looked nearly flawless last time out.
The last time the azzurri visited the island, they came away with a 3-0 win over Palermo. There's nothing to suggest the same can't be done against Catania, except my own ability to jinx a side by predicting a win.
Match Date/Time: Sunday, September 23, 3pm local, 9am ET
Venue: Stadio Angelo Massimino, Catania, Italy
TV: Sky Calcio 3 (Italy)

The much smaller gameserver companies are considerably better, their servers are updated by the data centre they rent off and because they are small they have to look after thier customers, gameservers have only answered one of my support tickets and that was "we have restarted your server, if you have anymore problems please continue this ticket" they did'nt realise that im actually capable of restarting my own ******* server with my hand being held.

No. We don't want anything from Mw2. It was crap. Cod2 has more players right now than MW2, Let that be a testament to the fact that it BLEW. There's no lean, No customizable console commands like FOV, Max fps, snaps, etc. It's garbage. It's casual, And BF3 is a better casual Game. Until you look farther back at the customization of the oldest cod games, you won't create something good for PC. It's just another console trash port. "Keeping it universal across all platforms" For PC: BF3 > It's that simple.

I admit I was looking at it from an Australian point of view where it is much easier to find a non-laggy game almost instantly. And for that reason dedicated servers dont seem so bad to me. However in you situation I understand your frustration that you cant find a game as easily. But there IS dedicated servers so your clan can play on lag free versions of those if you choose to buy them. All I was saying is I like the fact that MW3 gives us options to choose how we want to play.
54. Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - PC Exclusive Information & FAQwierd worlds are these Oct 21, 2011 7:46 AM (in response to ishoot)
The problem is they are to lazy to actually figure out problem's within the code or are just to stupid to figure it out.
I will say now that this game for pc is a direct carbon copy of the Xbox version and I am going laugh my bollocks off the 1st, time I see the "Please Reconnect To Xbox Live To Play This Game" screenshot that happend when MW2 was released.
This year the best game for pc gamers will be Battlefield 3 as it was made with want pc gamers want, better graphic's, better sound, better control's, more customisation, larger map's, larger player count's etc etc.
As someone else has said the pc gamers hopes now stand with Treyarch to make a game that we want, and to make it how we want it to be made and I am 1 of the people who slates Treyarch for there failures whilst saying how good IW are at making the Call Of Duty games.
Guess I need to appologise to the Treyarch team as atleast they learnt from some of the mistakes IW made with, MW2 when Treyarch made Black Op's although they still made mistakes, and now IW/SHG obviously didn't learn from the previous mistakes that they made and have made them all again.
While I will still buy the game simply because I do not believe in pirating games I am only buying it for the Single Player and Spec Op's modes because those I will enjoy where as the Multi Player will not be enjoyed because of the lag and the cheaters especially the cheaters because of the fact, that you can already buy cheat's for the game.
IW could have made themselves a excellent game with MW3 but obviously they are not interested in that and don't mind loosing money by people, not buying this garbage.
I am also 100% positive that no member of staff from Infinity Ward or Sledgehammer Games will bother to read, this thread let alone reply to it because they are fully aware of the amount of abuse they will be getting in this thread, also they will not bother to answer anything on Twitter as they very rarely reply to questions regarding the PC/PS3 version, as they are only interested in the Xbox version.
I was really looking forward to this game but I have to say now my games for this year are going to be purchased in this order.
2: Rage
3: Need For Speed The Run
4: Halo Anniversary Edition
5: MW3 if the reviews on the single player and spec op's are good enough.
Well let's just hope the people that left IW and went to Respawn can do a better job at making a game than the idiot's who still work for IW.

You make alot of valid points but for people who love cod for what it is, an arcade shooter, battield 3 will be extremely frustrating them, i myself can rip entire teams apart in all the cod but put me in battlefield and im completly clueless and there's alot of us out there, we love cod and the run and gun madness that requires you to just be aggresive, but battlefield players (as much as i hate them) are on a different level when it comes to team work. i've seen one team with a really REALLY bad K/D wipe the floor with a team that has a massive killcount, now im all about the kills and obviously im no good in a game like that, the controls feel distant and unresponsive.

You sir are an idiot if you had listened to the pc community you'd know iwnet is a pile of garbage and no lean you truly are an idiot.I have today cancelled my pre order and i'm done with any future cod games till true dedi servers are brought back.Did you not say dedi servers setup the same as cod4?well this garbage is nothing like cod4 servers so you sir are a liar.

The Edmond Sun
Santa Fe students heard about honor, pride and sacrifice as the high school announced its 2013 Double Wolf Dare Week recipients — Warriors for Freedom and the Folds of Honor Foundation.
In 1987, Blake Cotter joined the U.S. Army. He was the first veteran to come home from the Gulf War (1990-91), which was code named Operation Desert Storm. He came home on emergency leave and was the first Gulf War veteran to be diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.
PTSD is a potentially debilitating anxiety disorder triggered by exposure to a traumatic experience such as combat, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Its cause is unknown. It changes the body's response to stress and symptoms include "reliving" the event, repeated nightmares of the event, feeling detached or hopeless, difficulty concentrating and feeling irritable or having outbursts of anger.
"It was something I didn't want anybody to know," Cotter said as he told students assembled in the school gym about his experience with PTSD. "I would go through many years of trying to keep it a secret."
The news media sensationalized the disorder and people demonized it, Cotter said. But it's something that 99 percent of combat soldiers come home with and face, he said.
After several events in which his life was almost taken, members of the veteran community in Oklahoma, including Maj. Ed Pulido (retired), pledged to support him as he sought to live with PTSD.
"Warriors for Freedom and Maj. Pulido grabbed me and really turned my life around," Cotter said. "Not only did they turn my life around they turned my five daughters' lives around by giving them each a scholarship."
Today, Cotter is president and owner of Warrior Coating Solutions, an Oklahoma City company that only employs veterans. Ten percent of its profits go to the Warriors for Freedom Foundation, an ally of the Folds of Honor Foundation. Cotter's company installs roofing and energy saving coatings.
Cotter said it will take people like the Santa Fe students — the 99 percent — to stand behind the 1 percent, the soldiers who make all that is going on in the school possible.
In Iraq in 2004, the military vehicle Pulido was driving hit an improvised explosive device that exploded under him. He suffered a broken leg, arm, knee and pelvis; he had pieces of shrapnel lodged in his abdomen and arm and still carries at least one piece that surgeons could not remove.
Today, Pulido, of Edmond, is a father and husband who after receiving support from organizations including the Folds of Honor Foundation, works tirelessly to support veterans. He founded Warriors for Freedom, a leadership institute focused on the mental, physical and holistic recovery of wounded warriors and their families. It partners with Folds of Honor.
The Folds of Honor Foundation is rallying the nation to ensure that no family is left behind in the fight to preserve American freedom. Through scholarships and other assistance the organization gives back to the spouses and children of soldiers killed or disabled in service to their country.
More than 700,000 soldiers have been killed or disabled in Iraq and Afghanistan. As of Jan. 1, 2012, more than one million dependents had been adversely affected by multiple deployments, and more than 87 percent of those dependents do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance.
Pulido said the Santa Fe students will be making a difference in the lives of those who sacrifice so much in the defense of freedom. The beneficiaries help any veteran be the best they can be, Pulido said.
Double Wolf Dare Week (Feb. 25-March 1) chairman Storm Rund urged members of the community to help Santa Fe students support the beneficiaries. Last year, the school raised $283,421 for the Peggy and Charles Stephenson Cancer Center.
For more information about Double Wolf Dare Week, including a schedule of events, visit www.dwdw.org.
Each year Edmond's three high schools donate a portion of their total fundraising to a nonprofit organization. This year's common thread is A New Leash on Life, which provides service dogs to those with disabilities. The organization will receive 5 percent of the total amount raised.

Atlanta, GA to Ashboro, NC is 262 nm according to Runway Finder.
I have been emailing and trying my best all week to find someone out of Atlanta who is free to help on Saturday 4/17. (4/18 may be an options if that is better for the Atl pilot.)
Missy is a 60 lbs, American Bull Dog who loves belly rubs and is a total sweetheart. She came out of a kill shelter last week and desperately needs to get to her new rescue in Virginia.
We have another pilot (and even a backup plan on the ground) out of North Carolina to get her to Virginia but getting her out of Atlanta is the hard part.
If you can assist in getting Missy to her new home, please email me at email@example.com or back on Pilots N Paws. Let me know what time you can do this and what airport you would be flying out of. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
PS) there is also a possibility that the Pilot out of Virginia may want to hand off a dog to you that is coming back to Atlanta but that has not been solidified. If that happens, it is a Shar Pei.

What an impact Jerry West had on basketball.
They changed the name of his high school from East Bank to West Bank for a day. He was, and still is, West Virginia basketball personified -- the leading all-time scorer and rebounder in school history.
He was an All-American who led his team to within one point of a national championship in 1960, and he was still the MVP despite the loss.
He got some redemption as the USA won the gold medal in the 1960 Olympics.
He took his game and his talents to the NBA, where he played his entire career with the Los Angeles Lakers -- 14 years and an all-star every year. In 1972, the Lakers won the NBC championship.
In 1996, he was named one of the 50 best players in NBA history. He went on to become an outstanding executive in the NBA.
His image will forever live on in the form of the NBA logo -- a silhouette of Jerry West in his playing days.
Jerry West -- the Zeek from Cabin Creek -- made a long trip from West Virginia to basketball immortality.

I have owned my Tigra Verde for 2 years now, and fortunatly had no major problems other than,
Faulty Indicator stalk that flicks on the high beams when the indicator switches off. Still not fixed.
Window washer motor recently packed in. but other than that it has just done 101,000 miles and just had its second cam belt fitted, very reliable, I must admit I am 5"11 and can fit comfortable within the car, but if you have to wear suits to work and spend up to 2hours a day in traffic its not comfortable at all, but I love the car its fun to drive and has a good amount of power when you need it.

EMC's response is that a lot of the growth in the storage industry is happening at the low end of the market. "Small businesses don't want to tweak all the dials," said Barry Ader, senior director of Clariion marketing at EMC. "Usability helps us go down market into a space we historically couldn't reach."
There are ways EMC can make products easier to use other than hiding complexity with point-and-click wizards, such as making it easier for its products to work with each other and with other vendors' products. To that end, EMC is aggressively moving Avamar's data deduplication capabilities into some of its other products. Version 3.7 of Avamar now supports VMware Consolidated Backup, which EMC claims will reduce the backup times for virtual machines by as much as 90%. The software also supports Celerra NAS systems, and EMC has added new operating system and application support to Avamar for HP-UX, Mac OS platforms, and Oracle and IBM DB2 databases.
During a press conference at EMC World, Joseph M. Tucci, EMC's chairman, president and CEO, was asked how much EMC is spending this year to make its products work better with those from other vendors, as well as its own stable of products. While Tucci refused to say how much EMC will spend, saying it's "classified," he did say that "having a large user base is both a curse and a blessing. Everything we do has to work with everything we've done before. It takes a lot of time and money."
Richard Reitmeyer, EMC's
"[Our products] would be easier to deploy and easier to learn. We should start by grabbing the low-hanging fruit by unifying our fonts and icons between products," said Reitmeyer. "We can fix that; we should fix that."

If there's one downside to exclusively reviewing horror games for years, it's that I've become desensitized over time. Nothing really shocks me anymore, with even the most sudden of jump scares barely eliciting a twitch and the most gruesome of gore barely registering a grimace on my face. Who would have thought that Corpse Party, a PSP game fashioned after the 16-bit style of the Super Nintendo, would actually have me feeling cold, uncomfortable fear?
Corpse Party is a strange title, to say the least. Originally developed in Japan using the famous RPG Maker, its art style hearkens back to the days of 16-bit, when Squaresoft and Enix were their own companies and turn-based battles were king. Unlike those games, however, Corpse Party is a much simpler title: there are no stats to track or monsters to battle in chess-like combat. Instead, the game is a pure adventure title, with characters using inventory to solve simple puzzles to hopefully escape the literal hell of the school that they are trapped in.
When I say hell, I don't refer to the fire-and-brimstone suffering that populates Christian mythology, but the exceptionally horrific hell that the Japanese have adopted from Buddhism and Shintoism. Players step into the shoes on a group of high school students who, on the day that they are bidding farewell to one of their friends, are dropped—literally—into a horrific underworld that looks eerily like Heavenly Host Elementary, the school that used to reside on the grounds of their current academy. There, they have to roam the halls, encountering the spirits of dead children (yeah, the game goes there), whose spirits are trapped in the perpetual agony of their final moment. These spirits are trapped in a loop, never knowing anything but the pain of their deaths for all eternity. That's where Corpse Party manages to get under your skin like no other game: it makes you think about things that you really don't want to, but it still drops that proverbial bug in your ear.
Your imagination is also aided by the graphics which, with the exception of the occasional high-resolution interstitial shot, are almost cutesy in their low-res pixilation. However, it's these very stylistic decisions that keeps those wheels turning in your head and make you overthink what you're seeing, aided by some truly creepy descriptions of these bundles of pixels. They transform these simple sprites into absolutely gruesome tableaus, filling in the morbid details that the graphics can't. I tip my hat to the translation team at XSEED, who localized the title and kept the language deliciously disgusting.
I never thought that a download-only, portable title with such a retro aesthetic would elicit such a response from me, but Corpse Party made me feel truly, deeply disturbed. It left me squirming in my seat, both loathing and loving my PSP as I walked through a hell more horrible than I have ever seen before. In the final months of the PSP's life, it plays out as one hell of a swan song.
Corpse Party is available on the Playstation Network for $19.99

Though the Department of Environmental Protection dismissed both high school appeals, Kevin MacDonald said he does not believe it is the end of the road for himself and other residents who oppose the project.
"I don't think it's over yet," said MacDonald, who didn't provide specific details as to what the next step may be. "We're evaluating our options and talking to our attorneys. We feel as though the presiding officer has erred and made hasty decisions when we submitted documentation supporting our case."
Multiple attempts by Patch to reach Gerry O'Reilly, the other appeal spokesman, for comment on Thursday were unsuccessful.
Upon dismissing the appeals, Hearings Officer Tim Jones said he will release a report by October 12 indicating why he ruled in favor of the town in its Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Summary Decision.
MacDonald claims the town filed information early this week, and before appellants were able to respond with testimony from their expert witness, the case was dismissed.
"(Jones) probably got nervous that we actually had something of substance to offer, so he didn't want to let it get to a hearing," said MacDonald. "It doesn't surprise us. The DEP official is hearing an appeal of a DEP ruling. It's a conflict of interest. It's a kangaroo court situation and I think it's unfortunate for the people of Wilmington."
According to MacDonald, the artificial turf presents hazards to the environment and players on the field. MacDonald referenced a pair of links that he believes prove the fields are higher maintenance than residents were told. He also said there is an increased risk of injury and staph infections when teams play on turf.
Despite the ruling against his appeal, MacDonald said he will continue to find a way to fight the project.
"We're going to keep weighing our options," said MacDonald. "We're very disappointed the DEP doesn't understand that their mission is to protect the environment. We're questioning if they understand that. We've felt their mission is to protect the environment. It's pretty obvious."

Friday, November 2, 2012 —
One loyal fan received about 15 special guests from her favorite local football team Tuesday night.
Seniors from the Albemarle High School football team surprised Barbara Hedrick, and her husband Gene, when they stopped by her home Tuesday evening along with head coach Danny Akins and assistant coach Antwain Hamilton.
They didn't come empty handed either. Hedrick was given a signed football and card, along with an Albemarle Football cake that was donated from the Albemarle Sweet Shop.
Hedrick has been unable to attend Albemarle football games for many years, but listens to each game broadcast on WSPC 1010 AM and then watches the replay on the Stanly Community College Channel 21 on Tiime Warner Cable.
As a 1969 graduate of Albemarle High School, she immediately connected to the players and showed her Bulldog pride.
"I'm so proud of you boys," she said.
"Keep going," in reference to the boys pending playoff games.
Hedrick asked the players who they will meet in the first round of the NCHSAA single-A playoffs, in which they are the first seed in the Midwest Region and overall West Region.
When the team replied South Robeson, she showed her confidence in their abilities.
"Oh that won't be no problem," she said.
The seniors stood in front of her porch after presenting her and her husband with the football, card and cake, getting to know each other and fielding questions from the family.
Both Gene and Barbara asked which players were what number, based of what she hears on the radio and sees on the television replay.
"I don't know what you're all doing, but when they (announcers) say Albemarle touchdown, I go WOOOO!" she said, bringing out smiles from the players.
Barbara has been diagnosed with a pulminary disease and because of that condition is unable to leave her house under most circumstances.
Hearing of Hedrick's devotion to Albemarle football seems to have played a positive effect on the players.
"It's gonna make us work harder knowing we got loyal fans for us no matter what (their condition)," senior linebacker Jay Dockery said.
"It was a big shock that we had a fan like her," running back Martinus Crump added.
"It does motivate us a lot to bring back a state championship."
After it was recommended that Hospice of Stanly County come to the assistance of their family, Gene and Barabara decided that they would make the most of their days together.
Since that time, Gene picks up a fresh cookie or cupcake for his wife each day that the Albemarle Sweet Shop is open.
Until Friday night's football game, Hedrick can enjoy the cake and memory of her visit with the players.
Maybe by the time she has satisfied her sweet tooth, she'll be able to sit by the radio for Friday night's game with football in hand cheering on a Bulldog victory.

Castle Crashers0
There are few games that I still play after a few years, and Castle Crashers, developed by The Behemoth, is one of them. I am glad that I didn't pass the game up when it came out in 2008 for Xbox 360 and that everyone in my house enjoys playing, even my wife which is a pleasant surprise.
Castle Crashers comes with three modes that are playable on local and online. The main, and best mode, is story mode in which an evil wizard steals a large crystal from an old king and you must travel the world battling enemies to defeat the wizard and take the crystal back. There is lots of humor spread throughout the game from animals on one level defecating from fear to the weapons available (I use a lollypop and my wife loves the wooden spoon).
The game is hack and slash with RPG elements. You have four different skills (strength, magic, defense, and agility) to increase and can max them all by level 79. The level cap is supposed to be 99 but I have seen a few people online over 100. Playing through and beating the story mode unlocks more characters to use and unlocks a hardcore mode for the character you used. The other modes are a free-for-all pvp arena, and a button mashing competition called "all you can quaff." When I played arena mode online I kept getting stuck against players much higher level than me so I kept losing and it wasn't much fun.
The graphics for the game are all cartoony hand drawings, but still quite imaginative and impressive. Lead artist Dan Paladin did an amazing job and the graphics actually give a cheery feel that keeps me playing. I really enjoyed the somewhat simple controls and gameplay and when a teammate loses all their life during a level you can revive them by performing CPR.
The game first time through isn't too hard (can beat it in just a few hours), but when in hardcore the difficulty is far more challenging due to enemies dealing so much damage and swarming your character. Other than swarming, the only real complaint I have about the game is not being able to skip the end credits. After the fifth time it is a bit much.
Gunpoint is intriguing and entertaining, but its fun and comedy are fleeting, restricted by simplistic mechanics that lose their allure after only a couple hours. For those two hours, however, Gunpoint is one of the most downright satisfying and ridiculous puzzle games I have ever played.
The protagonist is a freelance spy who finds himself with gear that allows him to jump to and fall from great heights, as well as to climb walls. This spy is confronted immediately by a murder that is unexplained, but throughout the surprisingly well-written story, the murder is unfolded and eventually concluded. What makes the story interesting, however, is the interplay between two different firearms manufacturers who both have problems that only the spy can solve. The story is funny and fulfilling, and works well in conjunction with the gameplay.
The mechanics of the puzzles are fairly simple, but the puzzles themselves are often very difficult. Each puzzle is a building that must be infiltrated so that the spy might acquire information. The main systems in Gunpoint are super jumps and electronics rewiring. The game rewards the player with points and money for being stealthy and nonlethal, and the upgrades allow for greater variety in techniques for solving the puzzles. However, the game suffers from repetition. It is fun, but the novelty wears off after two hours. There is no real diversity in environment, and so the game becomes predictable.
The noir soundtrack is good if a little understated, tending to fade into the background. It is most prominently displayed in the menus, where it accompanies the story progression brilliantly. During the gameplay, however, it is simply somewhat bland and uninteresting spy music. There is a level editor in the game, which from what I have seen seems competent and possibly compelling.
This is a fun game. It is interesting for the two hours it takes to complete, and the story is worthwhile just for its humor. Although short and with its share of flaws, Gunpoint is a puzzle game with something special to share, something I strongly recommend. It is unique, and as such, it is worth playing.
Final Fantasy XIII0
Final Fantasy XIII is a console based RPG for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. It marks the start of the story of Lightning, a former soldier of Cocoon who is fighting her government so that she can save her sister who has been regarded as an enemy of Cocoon after she was marked by a fal'Cie. She quickly gains a band of allies, only for them all to be marked by the same fal'Cie as her sister and branded as enemies of Cocoon.
The games starts with the Purge, the killing of civilians that are believed to have come into contact with elements of Pulse, the world below that is heavily feared throughout Cocoon. It is here that you start to gain allies. The characters that you meet are a diverse bunch and are, for the most part, an excellent cast that will excite you and at times, infuriate you.
Just like in Final Fantasy VII players will be able to approach or avoid enemies who can be seen wandering around the areas of the game. Unlike in other Final Fantasy games where players find themselves roaming around miniature terrain, Final Fantasy XIII scales the environment relative to the characters in it and because of the graphic capabilities of the PS3 and Xbox 360 a lot more design was put into things such as the landscape, characters and even the tiniest of details like Lightning's cape.
A new character advancement system, Crystarium, has been added into the game along with a customisable Paradigm system to control the roles of the group. The Crystarium determines what abilities you give to each different member and allows you to decide which roles you want to develop in them as well.
While Final Fantasy XIII is an amazing game with superb graphics and well cast characters the nature of it is too linear, especially in the first nine or ten chapters. The lack of the ability to free roam and interact with NPCs gives it less of a Final Fantasy feel. Also to get enough Crystarium to level up requires a lot of hours spent grinding so players quickly get bored.
You are a spirit waking up from a long slumber only to see a lifeless planet. Suddenly, four giants emerge from the ground. They will be your tools of creation (and destruction) giving you the possibility to make life thrive in the world before going dormant again. While there is no "campaign" in this game, you only have limited time in an Era to achieve your goals. Developing your planet in different directions unlocks new stuff so there's an incentive for starting over again. A sandbox mode without a timer is also available.
The Ocean, Forest, Swamp and Desert Giants terraform, summon and upgrade natural sources, destroy people, boost fertility and so on. If a natural source is available on one of the main biomes, a settler founds a village and its people start collecting resources. As settlements are getting bigger they build projects with special requirements and a time limit. If completed, they give a resource boost and a unique specialization. An ambassador also appears and sits on the shoulder of a giant of your choice, unlocking a new ability.
Natural sources create symbioses with each other e. g. Chicken + Blueberry = more food, Quartz + Quartz = more wealth, etc. Upgrades not only add more resource to a site, this way you can also transmute a natural source into something completely different (Chicken -> Rabbit -> Deer), causing a change of resource income and symbioses to that particular site.
Prospering settlements become greedy which leads to war with other villages, or even attacking a giant. You may let humans to fight their battles or intervene, weakening or destroying an army. Riots against giants can be stopped by killing some of the population. To avoid this, you must be careful not to develop a village too fast and create sources providing danger and awe.
Visuals of Reus are charming. I like the 2D depiction of the planet as a circle and zooming in makes you discover many little details in the cartoon-like graphic design. Sound effects also bring life to the scenery.
Reus is more like an elaborate puzzle game than the classic god sim. It makes you think about maximizing the potential of resource combinations, while demanding constant attention. Its qualities are somewhat diminished by cumbersome gameplay but it's a truly unique experience nonetheless.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution1
With Deus Ex Eidos promised a great a deal and, as with all revivals of franchises that have lain untouched for numerous years, Eidos ran the risk of not attracting new players while alienating the old fan base. However Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the third installment in the Deus Ex series, is a magnificent game combining multi-path gameplay and an incredibly diverse set of augmentations catering to a wide number of play-styles.
Human Revolution is set in the year 2027 and centers around the player character Adam Jensen, an ex-SWAT member hired as security director for Sarif Industries, one of the leading companies producing human augmentations. The game opens with a terrorist attack on Sarif Industries resulting in Jensen being gravely wounded and Megan, lead scientist and ex-girlfriend of Adam Jensen, being supposedly killed. Jensen is spared death through extensive modifications provided by Sarif Industries; six months later he is called back in to deal with a hostage situation in one of Sarif Industries production plants. In doing so Jensen discovers a conspiracy spanning the globe taking Jensen from Detroit all the way to futuristic Shanghai.
Deus Ex provides players with an opportunity to play their way, with an impressive upgrade tree players can charm, sneak or fight their way past difficult situations. Augmentations grant player the abilities to hack turrets or even turn invisible, other augmentations open up new ways through levels, like increasing Jensen's jump height or allowing him to punch through some walls make replaying this game a must.
While I can wholeheartedly recommend this game it still has its problems, most notably the boss fights. These boss fights are notoriously difficult for characters not built for the open combat and can be a real turn off from the game. The games graphics are not really memorable but have a distinctive colour scheme and level design perfectly portraying a dystopian future earth, however with the director's cut of human revolution claiming to fix the boss fights and adding updated textures no longer being a Wii U exclusive being set to release later this year it could be a second life for this amazing game.
All in all Human Revolution is not perfect but for fans of RPGs with deep, meaningful upgrade systems Deus Ex Human Revolution is a must have.

I returned to Palermo today. This time to a place called 'Mark's Deli and Coffee House' of the corner of Armenia and El Salvador in Palermo Viejo (Palermo has different neighbourhoods). It's a pretty cool café but food is still more than affordable there.
Afterwards it was out to the outlets on Avenida Cordoba. They're situated between 4,000 and 5,000 on the enormous avenue. There are a few bargains to be found, but nothing too major.
After that it was to 10 Mil y Pico for an evening drink (that's it pictured). Is a cool bar. Chilled place, but cool.
Tonight I'm going to a tango show before going for a big huge steak. Yum.

Fulham has become the latest English Premier League club to sign a new betting partnership, announcing a three-year deal with Worldlink Sport.
Worldlink will provide betting in-stadium as well as through the club's website and mobile app for Fulham fans, using technology developed with bookmaking partner BetButler, the "betbroker" platform which sources best odds across more than 60 online bookmakers, including Paddy Power and Ladbrokes.
Fulham FC Alistair Mackintosh said he was "absolutely delighted" to bring Worldlink on board as one of the club's partners. "They impressed us not only with their product but their commitment to a long-term partnership", he said.
Worldlink MD Neil Riches added: "We're looking forward to providing the Fulham fans with an enhanced-betting experience, and developing a long-term relationship with a Club of such international prestige."
The deal follows Worldlink and BetButler signing a deal in June to provide up to 66 amateur clubs in the three divisions of the Ryman League with mobile and online betting and gaming portals.
A host of EPL clubs have announced betting and gaming partnerships with leading European and Asian operators in the lead-up to the new season which kicked off at the weekend. These include Manchester United with bwin, Liverpool with Paddy Power and 188Bet, Spurs with Betfred and Fun88, Everton with Paddy Power and Dafabet, and West Brom with Dafabet.
Betting partnerships are seen by operators as a more cost-effective way of tapping into the global popularity of the EPL than higher-profile and more expensive shirt sponsorship deals. Three Premier League teams are however currently in shirt deals with online gambling brands – Swansea with 32Red, West Ham with SBObet and Wigan with 12bet, with land-based operator Genting, which also runs a UK online gaming business, also sponsors Aston Villa. This is however less than the number of clubs sporting gambling brands in the English top tier last season, after Tombola's deal with Sunderland expired this summer, West Brom decided to terminate its relationship with Bodog 12 months early and Sportingbet-sponsored Wolves were relegated into the Championship.

The ending shocked the sell out crowd of 16,348 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as it was literally a one-punch KO. Pacquiao went down face first and was unconscious before he hit the canvas. Referee Kenny Bayless waved off the bout without a count as Pacquiao lay motionless for nearly two minutes.
Despite the stunning ending, Pacquiao was fighting well - dropping Marquez with a right in round five - and was actually ahead 47-46 on all three scorecards through five rounds. Both fighters were taken to the hospital after the bout for precautionary examinations.
Punch Stats: Total Punches: Pacquiao - 94 of 256 (37%); Marquez - 52 of 246 (21%); Jabs: Pacquiao - 26 of 108 (24%); Marquez - 11 of 96 (11%); Power Shots: Pacquiao - 68 of 148 (46%); Marquez - 41 of 150 (27%).
The outcome may put the final nail in the coffin of a possible meeting between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.. Even if that fight does happen at some point in the future, it will never have the significance it once could have as Pacquiao has now gone six fights in a row without a knock out and has completely lost his air on invincibility.
As unlikely as it seemed coming in to Pacquiao-Marquez IV, the most logical next fight for both boxers is Pacquaio-Marquez V.
HBO will replay the fight next Saturday, December 15 at 9:30pm ET prior to its Nonito Donaire - Jorge Arce, Guillermo Rigondeaux - Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym double-header.

Latvian defenseman Kaspars Astashenko has passed, according to a Latvian news report. He was 37. How familiar the name Kaspars Astashenko is with Tampa Bay Lightning fans is, is likely subjective to how long one has been a fan, how intense of a fan they are, and how closely they followed things during the team's proverbial lean years. Astashenko played only 23 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning, between 1999 and 2001, his only play at the NHL level. Kaspars also played for the Latvian National Team in the 2002 Winter Olympics.
The first preliminary round games start Friday, 7 May, with the US kicking things off with host country Germany. Here are the Lightning players involved in this tournament, and they're not the usual suspects. Please keep in mind that rosters are still subject to change at this time.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Amber red/brown color. Head of a finger on the pour that was present while drinking. Medium active carbonation. Sticky lacing left behind at each level.
Smell: Solid body of fruity hop tones which mix well with the more grounded, rounded mosaic hop tones. Earthy malt really shines on the body. Tones of caramel and molasses show up on the back end.
Taste: Bright tropical fruits hit the palate first. Those quickly yield to a earthy hop flavor. You really get a distinct profile of the Citra and Mosaic hops on the front. The body is caramelized malt which compliments the Mosaic hops well. The finish is a mild bitterness with lingering fruity hops.
Mouthfeel: Overall pretty heavy feeling on the palate. Carbonation is mild but present.
Overall: Another solid brew from Deschutes. Glad to see this one in the six pack format. Citra and Mosaic hops seem to be very different but come together well here. The bright fruit tones from Citra are balance and held together by the earthy Mosaic tones.

What a fantastic beer. This is what we all want. It's hard to describe something that is just about perfect. All I know is that when I open this bottle and pour it into my favorite glass I can barely enjoy the damn thing for drinking it too fast! What a beautiful thing that has happened to the beer industry when I am the beneficiary of so many microbreweries producing product like never before. If you dont feel lucky about that then you arent a true beer lover. And if you don't love this beer, you dont drink enough of it to know. The aroma is divine, the initial taste is hop and citrus heaven and you will probably make that face or roll your eyes...you know, when something is so good you look at someone and dont care at all how you seem because you know the truth. That's what this beer is...THE TRUTH! I would love to find another beer that comes as close as this one does to being the perfect beer (maybe Little Sumpin) and if I find it, I'll let you know. In the meantime, kiss anyone who gives you this beer right on the mouth like Lydia Loveless would.

Bottle from a 6-pack poured into a shaker pint glass for the purpose of this review. Color is a fairly light orange-yellow with ample white head of intermediate persistence. I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this particular brew in Alberta and I will generally agree that the name is apt. This one is super juicy, with the nose and palate a veritable fruit bowl of citrus (orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime), blueberry (!), stone fruit (nectarines and cherries), blackberry, and tropical (pineapple, passion fruit). The malts are not terribly sweet and I might even be tasting a little grain, along with something more astringent in the fruit/medicinal realm (vitamin C tablet) and a nondescript sweetness that is perhaps somewhat odd ... Almost an artificial sweetner note which fortunately remains subtle. Apparently certain hops can yield this effect. Anyhow, there is also a little pine, mostly in the semi-dry finish. Despite the fruitiness there is a distinct impression of bitterness front to back. Interesting contrast that adds complexity. Alcohol discernable but appropriately so. All in all, this is a great Mosaic showcase, with some unique blueberry and strawberry flavors to complement the more typical Citra elements. Dare I say that it could be just a hair more malty? Anyhow, hope this sticks around these parts.

I first found Deschutes Fesh Squeezed IPA in Springfield, MO at Brown Derby International Wine Exchange and then again most recently in Wichita, KS at Goebel Liquor (Rob's World of Beer.)
The 12oz bottles release a beautiful glowing orange-honey beer topped by an sticky off white 1-2 finger head leaving behind sip marking rings of lace.
It smells wonderful - grapefruit, orange, apple cider, sweet candied fruit, and hop flower cloud around it all.
One of the best tasting IPAs I've ever encountered - west coastal citrus trilogy of grapefruit, orange, and apple; sweet caramels; full on citra hop palate slap.
Feels like what I would imagine as French Silk Hop creme pie with champagne chaser. There's an idea!
Deschutes always satisfies the craft beer lover, but I feel this one deserves an MVP in their lineup. Thank you sir! May I have another?

BTR's Alien Guide
Living with an alien isn't the easiest thing in the universe. It definitely takes a lot of getting used to. Having someone in the house who can boil a pot of water with a touch of a finger? Yeah, that's weird. Helpful, but weird. Anyway, in case you didn't know, there's a mega event happening this weekend that's creating quite the buzz in our Milky Way. Big Time Rush is guest starring on Marvin, Marvin this Saturday! And just to help Logan, Carlos, Kendall and James adjust to life with a wacky alien, we decided to make them a little list of tips. BTR, here's our Alien Guide to you!

Al fresco dining in Providence?
There was a posting on the Boston board, reminding me of all the mediocre places there with outdoor seating. I'm hoping there's better in Providence. I've eaten on the patio at India on Hope St., which will do in a pinch, and also at the tables for 2 on the sidewalk at Red Stripe. I know a couple of the other spots in Wayland Sq. also have a few outside tables (La Laiterie and the sushi restaurant, I'm blanking on the name.) Anywhere I'm missing?
Not a lot of choices, but see a recent thread: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/40666...
good calls on al forno & the waterplace view (havent eaten there since pinelli's came in but worth a drink for the view alone...)
can't say i'd spend the $$$ at ruth's chris but they've got a patio overlooking waterplace park, too.
good italian at a waaaay relaxed pace - venda or dolce vita (ital or brunch - sister rest. to mediterraneo) on depasquale sq.
if ya got a pooch, there's the doggie menu at citron.

The Athens Review
Athens —
The Athens Independent School District Coordinators of Elementary and Secondary Curriculum and Instruction have been hired. One is a former principal of Bel Air Elementary for the past eight years, and one entered employment with Athens Independent School District when his position became available.
Renee Campbell, 49, was hired as the Coordinator of Elementary Curriculum and Instruction. She was most recently principal at Bel Air Elementary, a position she held for the past eight years. That position will now be assumed by Bel Air Elementary Assistant Principal Rosalee Dennis.
Prior to that position, Campbell was principal at R.C. Fisher 6th grade center. She also was assistant principal at South Athens Elementary when she came to Athens in 1997.
In addition, she taught at Garland schools for 12 years prior to her Athens employment.
Campbell, who has been in her latest position for the past two weeks. She is positive about the experience.
"I'm very excited, because I'll be able to support the three elementary schools in their curriculums, and support the principals," she said. "I'll also be helping the teachers."
She is married to Owen Campbell. They have three children, including Alie, a sixth-grader at Athens Middle School, and Sarah, 20, who is a student at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. Son Shane, 24, is a graduate of Texas Tech in Lubbock.
Her hopes appear to parallel the future envisioned by AISD Superintendent Blake Stiles.
"Mr. Stiles has assembled a team with a shared vision for the school district," Campbell said. "It's a team that's committed to improving the district, and we are committed to the long-term growth while we are here."
Speaking of herself and her colleague, Matt Caffey, the new Coordinator of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction, she was positive.
"We are both committed to the community. We have families here, and we want to stick with it, and get where we need to be," she said.
Campbell received her Bachelor of Arts from University of Texas in Austin in 1986, and received her Masters in Educational Administration at Texas A&M Commerce in 1996. She received her Superintendent's Certification at University of Texas Tyler. She is also a graduate of North Garland High School.
Matt Caffey, who is 32, was hired as District Coordinators of Elementary and Secondary Curriculum and Instruction. He said he wants to "raise the rigor of the curriculum."
"We want to prepare students for the 21st Century, and prepare them for the technology and skills that awaits them," he said. "AISD is at a critical turning point. We are moving forward. We want AISD to be the schools of choice."
Caffey said both he and Campbell believe in Superintendent Stiles and his hopes for the district. Caffey also believes having children attending classes in the district, as is the case for himself and Campbell, is important for people working to improve the district.
"We're not just making decisions for other people's children, but also for our children," he said. "commitment is not just for our schools, but for our community."
Caffey received his Bachelors in English from Texas A&M University in 2003, and his Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from that same university in 2006. He graduated from Clyde High School near Abilene, and is married to wife Lani. The duo has one son, Will, who is 3-years-old – a child that Caffey said will definitely attend Athens schools.
"I married an Athens girl from A&M in 2005, and moved here in 2006," he said.
He also was employed at Mabank Independent School District for four years as an English teacher and as an assistant principal.
"Then, I was offered a position in College Station as an assistant principal at A&M Consolidated High School," he said. "It was a great opportunity, but over the time we lived here, Athens became home for me. I love the community and the people here. I wanted to do something for the community, and I believe it's through the school district. This role allows me to give a big impact."
Caffey, whose first day in the new position was July 8, said he is confident in his new position.
"A lot of the confidence comes from campus leadership that is in place," he said. "The District Support center is where our offices are, and we take that support duty to heart, supporting the principals, the teachers and students."

Born: 10/19/1945
Birth Place: Rochester, New York, USA
Born on Oct. 19, 1945 in Rochester, NY, Lithgow was raised in a theatrical home by his father, Arthur, a director and actor who managed the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, NJ, and his mother, Sarah Jane, a teacher and former actress. Because his father ran the Anitoch Shakespeare Festival, among a few others, Lithgow was exposed to the theater from an early age. When he was six, he made his performing debut in "Henry VI, Part III" (1951), then continued to appear periodically in productions of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Henry V" throughout his youth.

Citizens Against Government Waste
"Baseline budgeting" is one of those Washington terms that sounds very dry and boring. In reality, baseline budgeting is one of the most sinister ways that politicians claim to cut spending when they are actually increasing spending. The Congressional Budget Office defines the baseline as a benchmark for measuring the budgetary effects of proposed changes in federal revenue or spending, with the assumption that current budgetary policies or current services are continued without change. The baseline includes automatic adjustments for inflation and anticipated increases in program participation. Baseline, or current services, budgeting, therefore builds automatic, future spending increases into Congress's budgetary forecasts.
Baseline budgeting tilts the budget process in favor of increased spending and taxes. For example, if an agency's budget is projected to grow by $100 million, but only grows by $75 million, according to baseline budgeting, that agency sustained a $25 million cut. That is analogous to a person who expects to gain 100 pounds only gaining 75 pounds, and taking credit for losing 25 pounds. The federal government is the only place this absurd logic is employed.
Politicians often like to have it both ways. Baseline budgeting gives politicians an opportunity to deceive taxpayers by allowing them to claim that they are holding the line on spending while providing more services.
Baseline budgeting seems like a technicality and should not be such a hotbed of contention, but every round of budget negotiations involves baseline budgeting with both sides of the aisle complaining that the other side is using the process to mask spending increases. Baseline budgeting is an issue that truly separates the deficit hawks from the budget chickens.

This recipe for kit kat bars is slightly healthy, thanks to the use of brown rice syrup in place of the caramel mixture in the filling. The result is a dessert that is just as sweet and crunchy as regular homemade kit kat bars, but with less processed sugar. Even better: This recipe is a cinch to make, and it makes a perfect picnic or bake sale dessert, too.
Don't Miss: Seven Layer Bars
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 36 kit kat bars
- 1 package organic crackers, such as Saltines (you won't need the whole package)
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1-1/4 cups brown rice syrup
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1-1/2 cups whole wheat graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Place a layer of crackers in the bottom, making sure that the dish is fully covered (if it isn't, break crackers in half to fit).
- Place butter, brown rice syrup, brown sugar and milk in a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add graham cracker crumbs. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
- Pour half of the syrup mixture over the crackers, smoothing over crackers with a spatula. Place a layer of crackers on top of the syrup, again breaking up crackers if necessary to fit.
- Top with remaining syrup and another layer of crackers, pressing down lightly, so the crackers are moistened with the syrup.
- Heat chocolate chips and peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave on 50% power until melted. Pour over the top layer of crackers.
- Refrigerate the bars until the chocolate is set.

The engagement of Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger and fellow musician Avril Lavigne will probably be the biggest celebrity news to come out of Canada until Prince Harry shows up again and does something untoward at another Alberta bar.
News of the newly-minted music power couple was made public on Tuesday night and spawned snarky commentary on Twitter and other social media platforms.
The hashtag #Chavril, a catchy combination of both of these fine musicians' names, was trending across Canada on Twitter. See more of them in our slideshow at the bottom of the page.
"You know those days when you're just a little bit embarrassed to be Canadian? Like, um, say today," tweeted @waltondawn
Yes. we know that many consider Nickelback one of Canada's more reviled musical exports and Lavigne isn't exactly a critical darling.
But Twitter user @wilnervision had it right when he pointed out the silver lining in #Chavril's engagement:
"Why is everyone freaking out about Chavril? This saves at least two other people from horrible relationships!" Well-played, sir.
We can only respond with this, now very awkward, video of Sum 41 lead singer, and ex-Mr. Lavigne, Deryck Whibley, singing Nickelback's "How You Remind Me." The circle is now complete.
