Today's blog post is from Communities In Schools of Los Angeles' Development and Marketing Manager Jennifer Elizabeth Graham.
Run the mile in 7:30. Drink only one soda per week. Raise geometry grade from F to C.Do community service. Spend more time doing soccer drills. Call my dad once a week.
These personal goals are as diverse and unique as the students who set them. What they all have in common is that each and every one was achieved last year by a Communities In Schools student through the j.k. livin Foundation's after school program. Whether physical, nutritional, mental, or emotional, each year the students in the program set goals which help empower them to stay in school, make healthier choices, and achieve in life.
Hollywood leading man Matthew McConaughey started the j.k. livin Foundation in 2008 with the hope of encouraging students to make positive and healthy changes in themselves and in the world around them. Wanting to work with at-risk high school students, McConaughey was introduced to Communities In Schools of Los Angeles. Now, our affiliate and the j.k. livin Foundation work together at Venice and Hamilton high schools, providing an important service which wouldn't otherwise be available to the students attending.
The j.k. livin Foundation runs an after school fitness and wellness program twice a week for two hours at both schools, serving roughly 300 students. Communities In Schools of Los Angeles site coordinators work with the j.k. livin staff to identify those students who would most benefit from the program. Sometimes it's a physical health issue, where a student needs access to structured exercise and nutritional education. Sometimes it's a lack of self-confidence, or a negative attitude. And sometimes a student just needs a safe place to be after school. Whatever the issue, Communities In Schools of Los Angeles students enrolled in j.k livin gain confidence, improve their attitudes and learn self-reliance, all while improving their fitness and health. And the workouts are not easy. For example, check out the jump roping component of one workout below:
The students also do sit-ups, push-ups, squats, and medicine ball work. They run hurdles and relays, sprints and long distance. And they practice holding the plank position every day. A good thing, since Matthew McConaughey led them through a plank exercise at the GIVE Education campaign kick-off last week!
Thanks to these workouts, the students see great results. Some have lost weight to reach a healthier size. Some have achieved their goal of finally joining a school sports team. And many have started making more informed choices about what to eat and drink. But these students have also demonstrated improvement outside of the program; our site coordinators have seen improved grades, attendance, and behavior among the students they have referred to j.k. livin's after school program.
At the end of each j.k. livin session, the students sit in a circle and share something they're grateful for. The "gratitude circle" encourages students to focus on all of the positive things they have in their lives, and often what they share with the group is quite personal. Students say they are grateful for their families. They are grateful for their health. And they are grateful for the opportunity to become healthier, happier young adults because of Communities In Schools and the j.k. livin Foundation.

I'm happy to say we are loving our new grill and finally getting familiar with using charcoal instead of gas. It's amazing how much more flavor a charcoal grill adds, especially when using special mesquite or wood chips, or whatever it is that Ben keeps soaking in water first then throwing into the coals. I [...]

Tropical Chicken Quesadillas
Ben and I love quesadillas, but nothing is more disappointing to us when we see them listed on a menu with a lonely filling of just cheese. Don't get me wrong, that simple version can hold up as a decent enough snack, but quesadillas are so much more enjoyable when they are loaded with flavorful [...]

Cincinnati Police arrested more than 20 Occupy Cincinnati protesters last night. Here's a recap of the events, which notes that a parade to honor local billionaire Carl Lindner was scheduled for this morning.
Here's an impressive collection of reports that back up nearly every grievance articulated in its first official press release. The research was done by a young woman in Boston who runs a Congressional watchdog website called C-SPAN geek. You can follow her on Twitter here.
City Council conservatives made Mayor Mallory real mad yesterday, blocking his appointment of Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan to the Hamilton County Transportation Improvement District. An initial vote actually allowed the appointment until appointed Republican Councilman Wayne Lippert heard that the other Republicans and Chris Bortz voted against it for various trivial reasons. Lippert asked for a re-vote and swung it the other way.
Mallory reportedly called out the conservatives, referring to them as "extremely unprofessional" and "horribly non-functional." According to The Enquirer, the normally even-tempered Mallory responded to their suggestions that they'd like to see someone else receive the appointment by saying, "that person's not getting appointed" and later adding, "I appoint a lot of people to a lot of things. And this will be remembered."
Approximately 50 Occupy Cincinnati protesters attended yesterday's City Council meeting to testify against Piatt Park's 10 p.m. closing time. Negotiations between the city and protesters is ongoing, according to reports, but no agreement was made yesterday after protesters turned down an offer of a new place to stay overnight and the city declined to let the group stay in the park under new restrictions.
Councilman Chris Bortz and Councilwoman Leslie Ghiz, both of whom have connections to property along the park, have brought up the possibility that if protesters aren't removed that someday the city will have to let the Ku Klux Klan camp out. Ghiz yesterday was criticized by protesters for posting on Facebook the private information of two people who wrote emails criticizing her (more on that here). CityBeat reflected on the situation again here.
A misleading advertisement by pro-SB 5 group Building a Better Ohio has been pulled from nearly 30 TV stations, including two in Cincinnati. Here's the original report about Building a Better Ohio splicing the an ad created by We Are Ohio. The Columbus Dispatch's "Ad Watch" had already designated the Building a Better Ohio version as "misleading" because Republican spending cuts are largely to blame for any firefighter layoff decisions local governments are facing.
Cincinnati has the third-highest rate of childhood poverty in the country, and The Enquirer's Mark Curnutte tells the story of an East Price Hill family and school system struggling to keep up.
Hamilton County for the fourth straight year dipped into its rainy day fund instead of instituting major cuts or raising taxes.
National non-profit teacher training program Teach For America has offered to work in Cincinnati Public Schools, possibly as early as next year. CPS has yet to commit to the partnership, noting that there are laid-off veteran teachers in the region.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney yesterday popped in on a local pro-Issue 2 and Issue 3 call center and then refused to publicly endorse either Republican initiative. "Yes" votes on Issues 2 and 3 would keep Senate Bill 5 and allow Ohioans to opt out of mandatory health care passed by Congress last year, respectively. From CNN:
"I am not speaking about the particular ballot issues," Romney said, only after repeated questions from reporters. "Those are up to the people of Ohio. But I certainly support the efforts of the governor to reign in the scale of government. I am not terribly familiar with the two ballot initiatives. But I am certainly supportive of the Republican Party's efforts here."
Both topics are tricky for the Romney campaign.
He is no stranger to health insurance mandates, having passed one of his own in 2006 while governor of Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, the Republican-backed union legislation remains deeply unpopular in the state, which is all but certain to be a swing state once again in 2012.
Romney also doesn't want to make his tax returns public. Too modest.
Cincinnati police didn't give out any citations in Piatt Park last night, saving the people in the Justice Center a lot of paperwork and wasted time. Some occupiers and local homeless activists have planned a march on Saturday to highlight causes of homelessness.
New York officials delayed a monthly park cleaning that would have meant having to clean lots of protesters too. The movement is spreading to Canada, where occupy protests are scheduled to begin this weekend in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver and Halifax.

Hit the town
When on foot such forests offer more excitement, providing opportunity for much free-running across beams, logs and branches – not to mention providing plenty of handy hiding places from which to ambush troops. Indeed, Connor's deadly toolkit includes all manner of gadgets to silently pick off unwitting patrols.
Wheel life
Town sections offer a couple of new tricks too, the most fun being the chance to throw yourself into open windows and out the other. The necessary low heights of buildings – early America hardly being renowned for its towering skyline – means that once you're viewed as suspicious by guards, getting away is far from simple.
It's an issue worsened by plentiful adversaries, their capacity for cat-like climbing and the many rooftop spotters dotted around camps.
Nothing for mills around
Hence, Connor will be chased by gangs of guards shouting such witty lines as "So slow!" over and over, which might as well be accompanied by The Benny Hill Show theme tune.
As with the horse-riding, such scenes serve only to dispel the illusion. Consequently, you become overtly conscious you're playing a game which lacks just that last little bit of polish, something that would turn a mostly enjoyable experience into a seamless one.
Heads up
Earlier I speculated that AC3 marks the beginning of a new path for the series and of that I remain convinced. The new dynamism in terms of animation, mission variation and scope bodes well for the series and in Kenway they've hit upon a noble, if stern, warrior.
Now Ubisoft must tighten such irritations as overzealous AI and slightly too expansive environments – why not open up the world still further with building interiors too? Most of all, it must continue to surprise us and, in this respect, AC3 is worth playing if only for the odd moment of incredulity as, time and again, the developers throw the kitchen sink at us. ®

Re: Still playing the last one
Take your time.
I have played all the (released on the PS3) Creed games and was pushed by the wife to buy this one on release day.
Verdict: I'm sure it is good, but the bugs are annoying the hell out of me.
They seem to have released this too early. It blatently has not been bug tested to anything like the level it should have.
The first 2 days loading times were horendous, and gameplay frequently crashed or didn't work properly (like a mission to fight 8 soldiers where the attack button would not work) Another time we walked around with a random sword sticking out of our chest and 80% of the ladies seemed to lose their skirts when we went close to them (I quite liked that one actually).
It has got better the last couple of days, due to the obligatory patches, but still remains very, very buggy.
Just because companies can fix bugs with patches should not mean they can also release games that are patently unfinished. Does Sony or Microsoft have no quality control measures in place to prevent such things? It seems not.
Re: Anything like Dishonored?
Assassin's Creed (the main series) does have a focus on stealthiness. Some of the later games in the AC2 branch even require stealthiness to achieve "100% sync". I suppose that particular feature is present in AC3, which I haven't bought yet.
Anything like Dishonored?
I just finished Dishonored and loved every minute of it. I haven't played any of the Creed games though. Is this game anything like Dishonored, in terms of the stealth and sneaking around aspects, where it's best to avoid a fight outright?
I have enjoyed all of the AC games immensely from the beginning. However, I feel a little jaded that they have gone to the US for this one.
Of course, it had to happen at some point, it just feels to me that there are so many other places and points in history that could have given a much more satisfying backdrop for anyone who isn't from the US. Take Scotland for instance, Edinburgh and the surrounding areas have a very deep rooting in the Templar mythology as well as the south of France and India etc.
However, I am sure this entry in the series will be just as riveting as the last four games, I will even give Liberation a go as well (was suitably impressed by Uncharted on the Vita).
I'm sitting this one out
Although it was entertaining, and quite good, 'Brotherhood' left me with a very unsatisfied feeling after I finished it. The end fight really ruined it for me. The assassins I had carefully trained until they reached their maximum level were gone; unusable. I didn't get the swordfight I had been anticipating and preparing for. Nor did we ever get a scenario in the entire game which closely (or somewhat) resembled the teaser movie.
Instead you were running about with the apple which could do nothing more than turn enemies on each other. Sure; if you let it run long enough (and you had the health for it) you could kill someone instantaneously. But as such close range and such high costs that it was basically useless.
As such I skipped revelations, also because of the reviews pointing out the somewhat misplaced sections where you'd have to defend your structures against an armada of vehicles. That sure doesn't look very assassin like.
It looks like they made something quite interesting with this one, but with the experience I have so far I'm going to sit this one out. So that should I decide to pick it up the bugs will be fixed and the price will have dropped. I just hope it will be more satisfying than Brotherhood was.

The School
Rosa Parks with Graham & Parks students at the Graham & Parks dedication and school naming in 1981.
Graham and Parks is the result of joining two schools in 1981 -- the Cambridge Alternative Public School (CAPS), which was a small, nationally acclaimed magnet school, and the Webster School, which was a small, traditional neighborhood school. The School was renamed after Rosa Parks (1913 – 2005), inspiration for the modern civil rights movement, and Sandra Graham, a local activist for social, racial and economic justice. The school was located on Upton Street from 1982 until 2003, when we moved to 44 Linnaean Street.
Students register for school at the Family Resource Center (617-349-6551). Most admissions occur at the kindergarten level, though there are usually some students admitted at most grade levels. As much as demographics allow, we balance classes by race, gender, socioeconomic class, and learning needs/styles. This balancing reflects our belief that having heterogeneous groups of students working together is the best starting point for learning.
The educational program is highly individualized, with an emphasis on teaching the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks in creative ways. The curriculum is developed by teachers and focused on building concepts and ideas. It is hands-on, project-based, integrated, multi-cultural and acknowledges diverse family groupings. We emphasize cooperative learning since we believe that learning is primarily a social activity.
Our multi-graded Jr. K and K kindergarten classrooms have a maximum of 20 students, with a highly qualified early childhood teacher and a full-time assistant. All other classrooms average 22 students with a highly-qualified, licensed teacher and a 3-hour assistant. The teachers and assistants are chosen by our parent/staff hiring committee because of their special qualifications and their understanding of the Graham & Parks culture.
The staff and students are supported by an Early Childhood Resource Specialist, two Literacy Coordinators, a Reading Recovery Specialist, and a Math Coach. In addition, we have a School Social Worker and a School Psychologist. Approximately 22% of our students have Individualized Educational Plans and our classroom teachers and students may work with Learning Disability Special Educators, an Occupational Therapist, a Physical Therapist, a Speech Therapist or an Inclusion Specialist.
We try to balance freedom and responsibility for the students -- we are truly concerned about the child and the curriculum and we are concerned with trying to educate the whole child.
We place a strong emphasis on self- and social-awareness: we want our children not only to be capable -- to have skills and knowledge -- but to be lovable -- to like themselves and others and to work well together.
Parent involvement is unique. Parents not only are invited to volunteer in classrooms and to initiate curriculum linked projects, they are also involved in many aspects of decision-making - from the hiring of staff, to deciding how fund-raising money will be spent. Parents are supported by a part-time Parent Liaison. In addition, the city makes available (by appointment) Citywide Liaisons in several languages including Creole and Spanish, as well as a LGBT Liaison to support Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender families and youth.
We teach French to all students in grades 5. French is often a second language abroad, and serves as a "cross over" subject for our international non-English-speaking and our English-speaking students. Originally, the school community chose French in partnership with our previous Haitian "English Immersion" program and to honor Haitian cultural traditions.
We have an instrumental music program in grades 5.
We have an after-school childcare program grades K - 4, an after-school Community Schools Program offering enrichment classes for students grades K-5, and an after-school academic learning center for grades 3 – 5.
Written progress reports (and portfolios in some classes) -- which include discussions of social and emotional growth, summaries of academic progress, checklists in math and language arts, evaluations from specialties in which children participate, and samples of work -- and two parent/teacher conferences per year, further enhance our citywide progress report format.
Progress Reports go out at the same time throughout the city
This schedule serves as a baseline and does not in any way preclude a school from implementing additional home-school communication.*Because of the late start, April conference and progress reporting schedule is interrupted by April vacation.
The mural image shown here is set at the left and right of the main entrance to the former building of the Graham and Parks Alternative Public School, at 44 Upton Street. The Mural is called "I'd Hammer Out Love," and was created in 1984 by artist Judith Inglese on a commission from the Cambridge Arts Council. The left panel measures 53 and 3/4 inches high by 130 inches wide; the right panel measures 54 and 3/4 inches by 130 inches.
The lyrics, as they appear in the mural, are by Lee Hays and Pete Seeger:
If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning I'd hammer in the evening all over this land. I'd hammer out danger I'd hammer out a warning I'd hammer out love between my brothers and sisters all over this land.

City Board OKs Rotunda Arcade
The arcade will feature 25 old school arcade games, such as pinball and skee ball, and it set to open within the next month.
An arcade will be opening in the Rotunda.
The Board of Municipal and Zoning Appeals approved an occupancy permit for the arcade on Tuesday at City Hall.
"We're going to get the arcade up and running, hopefully within the next month, we're going to have 25 machines, its going to be a family oriented arcade," said Ira Miller, who will run the arcade and also owns the Rotunda Cinemas.
Miller announced his plans to pursue building an arcade featuring old school games such as pinball, skee ball and whack-a-mole in the mall in early June.
He has delayed hearings on the permit with the appeals board twice to meet with communities to address concerns about the project.
Miller met with the Roland Park Civic League in July, and that neighborhood group raised concerns about the impact of the arcade on the Rotunda, which has struggled and in the midst of a long delayed redesign.
But on Tuesday there were no objections raised regarding the approval for allowing the occupancy permit. George Peters represented the Hampden Community Council at the hearing, and he told the board the neighborhood association had voted unanimously to support the arcade.
Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke, who represents the area, said after the hearing she was happy to know that another business was being opened in the Rotunda.
"I think it has been worked out well, and I think it was wise to make it an accessory use to the movies that Mr. Miller operates, [which] are four screens at the moment," Clarke said. "So there's a connection there so that it lives in the shadow of the movies, and is basically part of that whole operation, so that makes me very happy."
Miller said he hopes the community will support the arcade, like the recently expanded Rotunda Cinemas and the connected coffee shop that opened last month.
"I'm going to give it a go, and I think it will be very successfull, and I think that everybody who lives around the Rotunda area will be very, very happy," Miller said.

For immediate release – 9/20/12Director of Communications Rita Elliott, 815-226-3374
Rockford, Ill., – John McNamara, Rockford College senior development officer and former mayor of Rockford, was recently elected by members to chair the US Department of Education Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance. Mr. McNamara will serve as chair for a one year appointment.
Created by Congress in 1986 to provide advice and counsel on student aid policy, the 11 member bi-partisan Advisory Committee makes recommendations that will result in the maintenance of access for low- and middle-income students. Members are experts in higher education and student aid policy and are appointed by Congress and the Secretary of Education. Of his election to chair, McNamara says, "It is an honor for me to serve, and now to be Chair, on this important committee reporting to Congress and the Secretary of Education. Our mission is to increase not only access to college, but to increase four year college graduation rates for low income students through financial assistance. This is a national goal and one of vital importance for our own community."
Mr. McNamara was first appointed in 2009 by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to serve a term that expires in September 2013. Prior to his tenure in development, Mr. McNamara joined the College as Assistant to the President and then as the Director of the Jane Addams Center for Civic Engagement. Before joining Rockford College, he worked at a private law firm and a real estate investment firm. Mr. McNamara has a strong history in public service. He served in the U.S. Army with a tour in Vietnam, as an assistant public defender for the County of Winnebago, as a city council member and then as Mayor of the City of Rockford from 1981 to 1989. He is also actively involved in his community and his church, St. Peter Cathedral, and multiple boards and committees. He received a bachelor's degree from Notre Dame in 1961, and a law degree from The University of Michigan in 1964.

Last week blogger David Holt went to the polls to early vote. The wrong ballot appeared on his voting machine. He complained. And his complaint alerted the Shelby County Election Commission to a wider problem—some voters are not listed in the correct district.
Now, Democratic candidate for the Shelby County Commission Steve Ross says about 4 percent of voters have pulled the wrong ballot.
Some voters in Bartlett and Collierville showed up at the polls on Monday to vote in municipal schools referendums and received an unpleasant surprise: questions about forming a municipal school district did not appear on their electronic ballots.
The Shelby County Election Commission was able to straighten that problem out for angry voters.
"But any time that you have a problem," said Senior Reporter for the Memphis Daily News Bill Dries, "the question is always how many people had this problem, but maybe didn't notice, or just walked away."
This week on the Behind the Headlines Radio Roundtable: more problems surrounding the Millington corruption investigation, and Carol Chumney decides to run for District Attorney General.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Feb. 12 - We lost sight of our heritage
America is forgetting God. It's that simple. We are forgetting him not only in the schools but also in each individual family. We are rapidly losing sight of the blessings and the rich heritage we were given. There was a time when people gave everything just to come to America so they could worship freely. Now we're not sure how long our religious freedoms are going to last.
Blessing only comes upon a nation of people who are wise in their ways and follow God. America has not been wise in its ways and has not followed God, resulting in our current downfall.
Reach back to our Founding Fathers for advice. George Washington said, "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." John Quincy Adams said, "The first and almost the only book deserving of universal attention is the Bible. I speak as a man of the world, and I say to you, 'search the Scriptures.'" Andrew Jackson said, "That book (the Bible), sir, is the rock on which our republic rests."
In our efforts to establish peace and offend no one, we have stood for nothing, and we are justly reaping the consequences. Let us turn back to God before it is too late.

Cumbria council accepts Government grant to freeze tax bills
Last updated at 09:34, Friday, 17 February 2012
County councillors have voted to accept a Government grant that will allow the authority to freeze council tax for the second-year running.
They approved the plan by a substantial majority yesterday at a full council meeting in Kendal which heard some impassioned debate about the merits and potential pitfalls of accepting the £5.1 million grant.
Leading the opposition to the plan was deputy leader of the council, Stewart Young, who argued that the freeze would ultimately lead to the loss of 200 council jobs.
He told the meeting that the Government grant would be a one off and would lead to problems for the authority next year.
Mr Young said: "In effect it will lead to a hole in our budget which can only be filled by charging a double council tax increase or finding extra savings or a combination of both.
"If the council accepts the council tax freeze grant this year, cabinet is recommending a council tax increase the following year of 3.5 per cent.
"That means that in addition to the £5.7m of savings which are currently unidentified for 2013/14, council would have to find an extra £3m to make up for the loss of Government grants."
Mr Young said the grants represented a trade-off between lower council tax today and further cuts in the authority's budget tomorrow.
Council leader Eddie Martin said town halls had a moral duty to freeze council tax for people who are struggling with household budgets and accepting the grant was something that it could directly control.
The meeting heard that the country was facing a financial tsunami which would not stop rolling for another three or four years.
Councillor John Mallinson endorsed accepting the council tax freeze grant, saying that he suspected Labour members of the county council had learned nothing from the trouble which the last Labour government encountered as a result of "adopting a reckless tax and spend policy".
He added: "I do not want to refuse £5m from the Government. I believe we should accept the public expenditure should reduce to a more manageable level than it has been in the past.
"We need to plan for the future and it will be a more austere future."
Councillor David Southward told the meeting that it would be tempting for the council to accept the Government's grant and bask in ephemeral electoral popularity, but the decision would have an effect next year.
He said: "Inevitably, essential services would have to go as well as jobs. If we accept this one-off grant it would make the problems more difficult year after year and in perpetuity.
"The police authority and Allerdale and Barrow councils have rejected this inducement and I implore you to reject this council tax freeze grant."
Councillor Keith Little echoed Mr Southward's comments and predicted that perhaps as many as 300 jobs could go in future years as a result.
Councillor Reg Watson said that community secretary Eric Pickles was giving money with one hand and taking it away with the other.
He said: "I think Mr Pickles is in a pickle and he's offered us a pig in a poke."
The public sector union Unison issued a statement before the vote telling councillors that accepting the Government grant would be a "vote for future cuts in jobs and services in Cumbria". The union added: "Rural counties like Cumbria rely on the public sector to sustain employment."
But 51 councillors voted in favour of accepting the grant while 22 voted against.

Thread: Cheap Mark Legendaries
Jun 22 2012 08:24 AM #1
Cheap Mark Legendaries
I was browsing the skirmish camp and I was almost done, until I came to the legendary item vendor. I talked to him and he showed me his things.
I scrolled down to the bottom of the first page, and it had Khadzul Tablets for a price of 15 marks and 9 medallions or 75 marks and 3 medallions.
I hovered over it and it told me that I could exchange this item for a legendary item by the Prancing Pony, so I went there, and sure enough I exchanged it for a legendary item, Champions Mace of the Third Age.
I just noticed how cheap the exchange items were.
Jun 22 2012 08:30 AM #2
Those seem pretty cheap. But note that LIs fall like candy, and even level 75 LIs are generally in the ~80-200 silver range on the Auction House. So the 75 marks and 3 medallions is actually pretty expensive. If you use your marks to get a greater scroll of empowerment, sell that for 15-20 gold, you can buy dozens and dozens of LIs on AH with the proceeds. Also note that the Khudzul tablets/miners tools fall all over moria at a good rate, and the mid-level LIs do as well. And they are also dirt cheap on the AH.
Jun 22 2012 10:33 AM #3
The problem with them is that they´re not worth much anymore in practise, unless you´re right at that level step.
Levelling and deconstructing lvl 57 or 59 LIs will not yield you an optimal relic return, they wont give you elgacies usable on higher level items, and not even useable crafting fragments or scrolls of renewal.

Ah, true. I only meant to point out that the color of the square by your user name is not necessarily an accurate indicator of how many shirts you purchased. But I see what you are saying. OP said half of his/her 15 shirts came from this artist, when that isn't possible with only one account. Even if OP bought 3 of each, that is still only 6 which is not half of 15. Unless op was grossly exaggerating (which - let's face it - is quite likely on the internet).

Very funny MJC. Made me legit laugh out loud. No I actually read it somewhere and then looked it up to make sure. I haven't been around that long and the three times I wanted a shirt it was sold out before I was able to get one. Never got around to looking for them in the reckoning.

Re: Right on Track: Beat the Machine!
I totally disagree with this being 'off topic' as well. It's myths and LEGENDS. If this doesn't count neither should Johnny Appleseed, who was also based on a real person in the beginning and then grew to legendary status. And I'm sure many others that I'm not as familiar with. I'm not saying knock all the others out, I'm saying put this back in. If you are rejecting it for the thumbnail not matching the shirt color, then say THAT instead.
Personally, I like the idea of them as portrayed. Some cheerleaders I've seen as a teacher certainly act as if they were the fates, planning the lives of all their fellow students.

Thank you. Its impossible to know what will be well received and what won't. Even if I don't get many votes on some of them, I like that I'm not jumping to the top with countless people thinking I'm undeserving or pointing out countless negatives. Even if the design doesn't appeal to the majority, I think people at least know I'm actually putting some effort into it. Glad you like it.

speedcheetah wrote:i'm not sure, but they might reject because the shirt comp is a different color than the shirt...
Cheetah is right; they'd reject you.... but you entered too late in the derby for it really to matter... I WISH you had entered earlier, because this is GREAT! I had to call my whole family in to see it. Personally, since this derby DID allow text, I would have added the words on the shirt itself; but other people would probably disagree. In any case, this is an AMAZING first submission, and you'd better believe that I will be looking out for your future entries! Please keep entering. Just check the dates on the bottom of the main derby page to know when the derby opens and closes. (Theme gets announced Thursday afternoon, first submission accepted Friday afternoon). Usually as soon as submissions open, there are a flood of entries. Then they come in pretty heavily the rest of Friday and Saturday, and pretty much if you don't have your submission in by the weekend, chances are pretty slim that you'll be able to amass enough votes to win. (This is all personal observation, BTW, not set in Woot-stone) Good Luck!! Please give us more!!

Forecast discussion: After seeing about 3 to 5 inches through much of inland Massachusetts, the next worry for drivers tonight will be black ice. Temperatures will go below freezing for inland areas this evening, so please take precaution if you have to drive after midnight to about 8 A.M. Thursday morning. We will see some melting Friday afternoon, as our high temperatures will reach the lower 40's.
However, we will see some more snow fall Thursday night into Friday morning. An arctic cold front moving into the north central U.S. right now will make its way into New England by tomorrow night. Also, we will see a wave of low pressure track south of New England. The low will actually bring more snow to the Cape and Islands than Boston this time. However, if the low's track moves further to the east, our snow totals would increase. For now, I'm only seeing a coating to an inch in the capital city, with the Cape and Islands receiving two to four inches. Please check back tomorrow night, as I will see the latest computer models Thursday afternoon.
As we move into the weekend, some warmer air from the south will slowly filter back into the region. High temperatures will return to the upper 30's to lower 40's. However, after Saturday night, another arctic front will move into the region. Our low temperatures on Sunday evening will return to the middle to upper teens. Highs after Monday will not even make into New England. The low may intensify during Tuesday afternoon, and will bring us some snow. But, how much depends upon if the low does strengthen. Only the United Kingdom model shows so deep low to our south on Tuesday. I will continue to update you each night, but right now my confidence in seeing a possible Nor'easter is quite low. Another clipper system may bring a few snow showers on Wednesday afternoon.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Partly cloudy with a low of 30.
Thursday: A mixture of sunshine and clouds with a high of 43. Winds will come from the west-northwest at 10-13 mph.
Thursday night: Increasing clouds with light snow developing after midnight. It will be colder with a low of 18. Winds will come from the north at 11-14 mph.
Friday: Snow showers tapering through the morning, with mostly sunny skies by the afternoon. We will see a high of 29. A dusting to an inch of snow in the capital city is expected by Friday morning.
Friday night: Partly cloudy skies with a low of 20.
Saturday: Partly sunny with a high of 42.
Saturday night: Mostly cloudy with a low of 27.
Extended Forecast:
Sunday: Partly sunny and breezy. Highs 39-42, lows 16-19.
Martin Luther King Day: Partly sunny. Highs 27-30, lows 12-15.
Tuesday: Cloudy with possible light snow. Highs 24-27, lows 14-17.
Wednesday: Partly sunny with possible afternoon snow showers. Highs 25-28, lows 17-20.

It's been a few weeks since the Fallen Earth community had to deal with its latest round of layoffs. Former State of the Game pen Dave "Archangel" Haydysch was one of the three let go, leaving the job to Marie "Aro Sei" Croall, whom we spoke with at PAX. The first topic of her new face-of-the-company career involves Sector 4, and where the hell it is.
It turns out that the development of Sector 4 was put on the back burner for the much-discussed combat revamp and balance tweaks that have filled the last few patches. Those changes being completed – testing to commence this week – Sector 4 is again returning to the spotlight. The new sector will add another 5 levels to the level cap, and deliver new recipes, gear and consumables.
In the immediate future, players will see a laundry list of changes heading to the PTS, then the live servers:
- Physical combat changes. The devs are specifically looking for feedback on damage and the mitigation of it.
- Dodge mitigation being retuned, again.
- NPC range, reload and weapon damage tweaks.
- Faction skills and Mutations to be tested after combat is fine tuned.
- New lighting and terrain changes incoming. I love how the game gets prettier each six months or so.
- Further improvements to the tutorial, including tooltip changes, extended combat and a more streamlined delivery.
- Black Friday celebration – FREE AMMO for Blood Sports participants. To those that don't play Fallen Earth, ammo consumption/creation is a huge drain on resources.
Should all of this go according to plans, December will be marked with just as many changes to completely different aspects of the MMOFPS. During the holiday season the developers are going to focus on "different high-end group content/world boss mechanics, improvements to the serendipity system, new recipes and encounter areas as well as continuing to work on balancing Progress Towns."
Oh, and let's not forget the wonderful community events. Fallen Earth will be home to "several in-game contests as well as introducing our Rally mission series and giving out presents" during the season of giving.

Xbox 360 picks up Final Fantasy XI, will be backwards compatible
Square Enix, EA announce strong 360 support; more than 160 games in development, up to 40 available at launch; Microsoft says console will play "top-selling" Xbox games.
LOS ANGELES--Microsoft opened the next-generation floodgates last week when it publicly unveiled the Xbox 360 on an MTV special, firing the first shots at its rivals in what is sure to be an all-out war for consumers. The Xbox 360 will be released this holiday season, and Microsoft held its annual E3 press conference today to tout the system's features and show off its planned lineup of games. The event took place shortly after Sony wowed the crowd at its own conference by unveiling the PlayStation 3.
The biggest story of the press conference surprised many attendees at the Shrine Auditorium. Microsoft announced that Square Enix, a longtime partner with Microsoft rivals Nintendo and Sony, will be bringing Final Fantasy XI to the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.
This will be the first Square Enix game for a Microsoft console, and the third platform for FFXI, which previously appeared on the PC in 2003 and PlayStation 2 in 2004. Final Fantasy XI was the first game in the popular role-playing series to go online, and the Xbox version will sport new high-definition graphics and make use of all of Xbox Live's features.
Along with a firm release date and price point, the other big question surrounding the 360 was backward compatibility. However, Microsoft would only say that the console will be "backward-compatible with top-selling Xbox games." This ambiguous wording could mean that Microsoft will select which titles will run on the next-gen console. However, it could also simply mean that Microsoft is merely being prudent in case some original Xbox titles don't work on the 360, as was the case with some older PlayStation 1 games and the PlayStation 2.
Although future Xbox 360 owners will be able to play the more than 200 Xbox titles expected this year, it's the 360 games that they'll really want. Microsoft expects 25 to 40 Xbox 360 titles to be available during the console's launch window (defined as within three months of the system's release), and developers currently have more than 160 games in the works.
Among the games Microsoft announced for the console were Tecmo's previously unrevealed fighter Dead or Alive 4 and Capcom's zombie-slayer Dead Rising, which is being developed by legendary game designer Keiji Inafune.
Publisher Electronic Arts announced that its lineup of 360 games, which includes Madden NFL 06, Need for Speed Most Wanted, and The Godfather, signifies its largest commitment to any next-generation console's launch.
As detailed last week, Xbox Live will come in two different packages. Xbox Live Silver, which allows gamers to send voice and text messages and participate in other basic features, and the premium subscription-based Xbox Live Gold package, which includes spectator mode and multiplayer gaming privileges. It turns out anyone with an Xbox 360 will get a taste of the good life. Microsoft today announced that all 360 owners will be treated to a free month of the Gold service when they first jack into Xbox Live.
GameSpot will be updating this story and will have more details on Microsoft's E3 press conference, including video and photos, very soon.

Simple question. Is their enough people on here who will play Dust 514 enough to form a clan (I forget what they will be called)? Of course assuming it'll be any good.
my bet will be that they will be called Corporations or something similar since that is what guilds/clans are called in EVE: Online.I am definitely interested in trying this game and if its anything like the standard game, it will be one best played with a group of friends/ clanmates. I can't speak for how long I will play it since I haven't played an FPS on a console since Halo 2, but pencil me in for a maybe.
Dust 514 looks fantastic, id totally be up for a GB Corp. Though given the nature of EVE I think it would be helpful to have some EVE players to work with.
GB is not a good place to look for FPS clanmates, due to the overwhelming amount of elitist PC gamers.I too will definitely be playing this game, but will get familiar with the game first before even thinking about clans.
@Pazy:Good point. I used to play so I might be able to hook up with some guys I know that still play Eve. We might have a chance to link up with an Eve group that way.
I almost bought the PSN pack today. I have no idea if this is a game i would be playing for months and months or maybe just a few weeks. But the price point to find out, is so small that i almost have to take the chance on it.
Corps (Clans) as there called in this game will work similarly to the ones in EvE from what I've seen so far in the beta. Atm though its hard to play for a long time without getting frustrated it is very evident that its a beta. There is alot of screen tearing, server lag, hit detection issues, fps issues, and balance problems. However if you get in a good game without lag, ect. (the hit detection is going to effect every match) this game is amazing and you will get a chance to see that if they iron these issues out it'll be a AAA title. As of right now I don't think its worth buying a PS3 for just the beta however I would apply for a beta account and keep up on the game through the forums, I'm 100% sure it will be in the future once they get the hit detection fixed. "It's honestly worse then the server lag and screen tearing combined".......But overall its shaping up to be a great game.
