God is omniscient; his morals don't change over time. It the Bible was inspired by God its morals would have been the exactly correct morals with which all people forever should live their lives. Why would God write a book (or "inspire" others to) that would need a second edition written after years?
It all goes back to the idea that it is absurd for a perfect and divine being to create an imperfect world.

*Also California Angels and Anaheim Angels
A while back, justinjabs wrote in asking for a little explanation regarding the layout of the trees. He's written in again with a request:
Not sure if it would warrant a large tree, but as a Cubs fan, I've never liked when Hendry sent Mark DeRosa away at the New Year. He was a great player who could field all over the diamond – I would love to see if anything actually came of that trade.
Not a whole lot has come from the trade, yet, though things are still developing
Jeff Stevens has come out of the pen for the Cubs, throwing 30.1 innings in 29 games over 2 seasons. His numbers aren't that great - 10.4 Hits/9 innings, 1.8 HR/9, and a 24:18 K:BB ratio. He's been optioned to AAA Iowa Cubs as of this weekend.
Christopher Archer ended 2010 in AA Tennessee. Between High-A and AA, Archer went 15-3 with 149 K, 65 BB, and 6 HR over 142.1 innings. Baseball America rates Archer as the #1 prospect in the Cubs' system, as well has having the best fastball and slider in the farm system.
Gaub was sent to AAA Iowa earlier in March from Cubs camp. He's not appeared for the Cubs yet. From the above article,"He threw 29 innings at Iowa last year and had a 6.52 ERA. He gave up five earned runs in 1 1/3 innings this spring."
Edit: mykalmorgan has brought it to my attention that Archer was part of the trade for the Cubs to acquire Matt Garza. The tree has been updated accordingly. Thanks for the assist.
Also, Stevens has been switched from "MLB Green" to "Current Minor Leaguer" green.
Perez is on the Cubs' 40-man roster, but not the active roster. Perez spent '08 and '09 with Tampa, and '10 in AAA.

Are you sick yet?
by Steve McIntosh
posted Dec 18 2013 1:23AM
Does the first cold weather snap mean the same thing for you as it does for me; runny nose, cough, maybe even laryngitis? I usually get a flu shot, so flu is not a big concern for me.
My wife has already been hit by some kind of bug that laid her low for more than a week. She never missed work and only began to get better after spending two days on the weekend resting.
Sedgwick County Health Director Claudia Blackburn tells me as of last week only six cases of influenza had been confirmed in the county. She advises that a flu shot takes two weeks to become effective, and this year's shot seems to be very effective on this year's bug.
Blackburn's very concerned about pertussis … whooping cough. You may want to consider immunization. I had whooping cough when I was 16 and I can tell you it's no picnic!
Our thought for today is from
Jackie Mason:
"It's no longer a question of staying healthy. It's a question of finding a sickness you like.'"

Paul Reinheimer's Blog: The Danger of Hooks
, 13 March 1138
Paul Reinheimer has a recent post to his blog talking about the danger of "hooks" in your development - the functionality several frameworks and other tools come with to allow you to add functionality to the core without having to change the main source.I ran into hooks rather simultaneously with two very different frameworks: Code Igniter and Lithium. In both cases I was using a rather nifty hook to handle ensuring that users were properly authenticated and authorized before accessing a page. [...] One...

Introducing Shazzer: A shared online fuzzer
Planet PHP
, 13 March 9600
I lost inspiration for coding a while ago and had this idea I was sitting on for a while, I'm often stuck at the design stage before I write a line of code and I will refuse to continue without a clear picture in my head on how an app is going to work. After the Christmas break I got my inspiration back and started to formulate pretty quickly how Shazzer might work. Once I was happy with the design then I started to code it pretty quickly, it was like a jigsaw and everything just fitted nicely together....

Why Conventions Matter
phly, boy, phly
, 12 January 2012
When I started teaching myself scripting languages, I started with Perl. One Perl motto is "TMTOWTDI" -- "There's More Than One Way To Do It," and pronounced "tim-toady." The idea is that there's likely multiple ways to accomplish the very same thing, and the culture of the language encourages finding novel ways to do things. I've seen this principle used everywhere and in just about every programming situation possible, applied to logical operations, naming conventions, formatting, and even project...

Udemy Blog: Code Wars: PHP vs Ruby vs Python - Who Reigns Supreme [Infographic]

With the recent introduction of some new ones, there is a 'war' of modern day languages. What's easier and...

They are independent scripts that run along side of your application, performing tasks, or...

Create your own framework... on top of the Symfony2 Components (part 5)
Planet PHP
, 12 January 2012
The astute reader has noticed that our framework hardcodes the way specific "code" (the templates) is run. For simple pages like the ones we have created so far, that's not a problem, but if you want to add more logic, you would be forced to put the logic into the template itself, which is probably not a good idea, especially if you still have the separation of concerns principle in mind. Let's separate the template code from the logic by adding a new layer: the controller: The controller mission is to...

Personally I feel like Ed's way of expressing himself feels mostly like the rants of an angry person and not really a way of expressing a clear message. That is why I appreciate a much saner formulated follow up by Kris Jordan. In general I totally agree with Ed on the point that we need more decoupled components in the PHP world.

McALESTER —
McAlester senior, Caden Pratt, returns the ball from a kick during the 5A State Championship game in Stillwater Saturday night.
McALESTER —
McAlester senior, Caden Pratt, returns the ball from a kick during the 5A State Championship game in Stillwater Saturday night.
McAlester's powerlifting squad scored in eight out of 11 weight classes, winning Class 5A with 99 points and finishing second overall among large schools at Saturday's Oklahoma Football Coaches Association powerlifting regional at Hartshorne.
Daylight Savings Time began this weekend, and that means the spring sports season has finally arrived. Here is how area teams performed, with scores as submitted to OSSAARankings.com.
McAlester's track and field season starts Friday in Glenpool.
With the Kiowa Cowboys and Cowgirls sweeping the Pitt 8 Conference, it should come as no surprise that Kiowa had seven players and coaches — the most from any school — selected for All-Conference honors in a list submitted Wednesday by Canadian athletic director Tommy Pinkley. Both Kiowa teams went undefeated in district play during the regular season, and the Cowgirls won the Pitt 8 Tournament.
Ty Lazenby scored 37 points, leading the Glencoe Panthers to a 57-39 win against the Kiowa Cowboys in Saturday's Class A state championship at State Fair Park's Jim Norick Arena in Oklahoma City.
Kiowa fell to Glencoe in its state championship Saturday, 57-39.
McAlester's girls' basketball season ended Thursday at Will Rogers in Tulsa, with the Lady Buffaloes falling to the Del City Lady Eagles in the area consolation semifinals, 71-39.
Skye Lowe and Zac Cater combined for 30 points, leading the Durant Lions past the McAlester Buffaloes in Friday's area consolation semifinal in Catoosa, 72-63.

Active substance: NIFEDIPINE
View full screen / Print PDF » Download PDF ⇩
Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine.
- Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.
- If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- This medicine has been prescribed for you. Do not pass it on to others. It may harm them, even if
their symptoms are the same as yours.
- If any of the side effects get serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please
tell your doctor or pharmacist.
In this leaflet:
1. What VALNI XL is and what it is used for
2. Before you take VALNI XL
3. How to take VALNI XL
4. Possible side effects
5. How to store VALNI XL
6. Further information
VALNI XL Prolonged Release Tablets contain nifedipine which belongs to a group of medicines called
calcium-channel blockers that act on the cardiovascular system (the heart and blood vessels). VALNI XL
has been prescribed by your doctor to treat your high blood pressure or to reduce the frequency of your
anginal attacks. They are called prolonged release tablets because they are manufactured in a way that
allows the nifedipine to be released and slowly absorbed by your body over a period of several hours.
In high blood pressure, nifedipine works by widening the blood vessels. This creates less resistance to
the blood flow, and results in lower blood pressure, which in turn reduces the strain on your heart.
In angina, nifedipine works by opening up the arteries supplying the heart muscle and this allows more
blood and oxygen to reach the muscle, decreasing the chances of angina (chest pains) occuring when
extra strain is placed upon the heart.
Do not take VALNI XL:
• if you are allergic to nifedipine, other calcium-channel blockers (e.g verapamil, diltiazem or felodipine)
or any of the other ingredients of VALNI XL
• if you are pregnant, likely to become pregnant or are breast-feeding
• if you have been told that you have a narrowing (stenosis) of the aortic valve in your heart
• if you have experienced a collapse which was caused by a heart problem (cardiogenic shock)
• if the severity or frequency of your angina has rapidly worsened over a matter of hours or days
• to treat an angina attack as it occurs, but rather to reduce the frequency of the angina you experience
over time
• if you suffer from inflammation of the bowel or intestines (such as Crohn's disease), oesophageal
(gullet) obstruction or have in the past had an obstruction or narrowing of the intestine
• if you have a liver disease
• if you have had a heart attack during the last month or to treat a heart attack
• if you are taking the antibiotic rifampicin (used to treat tuberculosis)
• if your blood pressure continues to rise despite treatment (malignant hypertension)
Take special care with VALNI XL:
It is important that you tell your doctor if any of the following applies to you.
• if you suffer from low blood pressure
• if you experience chest pains when you first start taking VALNI XL, contact your doctor immediately
• if you are diabetic, the treatment for your diabetes may need to be adjusted
• if you are receiving kidney dialysis and have very high blood pressure with low blood volume
• if you are taking other drugs to treat high blood pressure (e.g. beta-blockers). If you are changing
from a beta-blocker to nifedipine, you should gradually reduce your beta-blocker after discussion
with your doctor
• if you have a Kock pouch (a type of ileostomy)
• if you have to give a urine sample, have an x-ray or undergo surgery
Your doctor may, under certain conditions, think it necessary to keep you on VALNI XL whilst you are
pregnant. If this is the case particular care must be taken if you are also receiving magnesium sulphate
Taking other medicines:
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including
medicines obtained without a prescription.
In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking:
• other drugs to treat high blood pressure
• cimetidine, to treat stomach ulcers
• the medicines digoxin, diltiazem, quinidine, or beta-blockers, used to treat heart conditions
• the anti-epileptic drug phenytoin
• the antibiotic rifampicin and combination treatment quinupristin/dalfopristin
• cisapride, a drug used to treat reduced movements of the gullet and stomach
The effect of the following drugs on VALNI XL is uncertain. Therefore, as a additional precaution,
please tell your doctor if you are taking:
• the antibiotics erythromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole or fluconazole
• the HIV protease inhibitors indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir or saquinavir
• the antidepressant drugs fluoxetine and nefazodone
• tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant used to prevent the rejection of transplant organs
• carbamazepine and valproic acid, used for the treatment of epilepsy
• the barbiturate phenobarbital, used primarily to treat insomnia and anxiety
The following drugs do not interact with VALNI XL: aspirin, benazepril, candesartan cilexetil, orlistat,
debrisoquine, doxazosin, irbesartan, omeprazole, pantoprazole, ranitidine, rosiglitazone and
triamterene hydrochlorothiazide.
Taking VALNI XL with food and drink:
Do not drink grapefruit juice at the same time or soon after taking VALNI XL because grapefruit juice
can increase the blood levels of nifedipine.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding:
Do not take VALNI XL if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant or are breast-feeding.
Drugs like VALNI XL have been shown in laboratory experiments to impair sperm function. If you are
male and have been unsuccessful in fathering a child please consult your doctor.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Driving and using machines:
It is possible that you may react to VALNI XL. Reactions can vary in intensity from individual to individual
and may affect your concentration. If you are unable to concentrate or remain alert after taking VALNI XL,
then do not drive or operate machinery or perform any activity for which you need to be attentive. This
applies particularly at the start of treatment, on changing medication or in combination with alcohol.
Important information about some of the ingredients of VALNI XL:
VALNI XL contains lactose monohydrate. If you have been told by your doctor that you have an
intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicinal product.
Always take VALNI XL exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or
pharmacist if you are not sure.
VALNI XL is specially formulated so that you only have to take your tablets once a day, preferably in the
morning. Your tablet must be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not with grapefruit juice. Do not
break or chew your tablets.
The usual adult dose for treating high blood pressure or preventing angina is 30mg or 60mg once a day.
Your doctor may decide to increase your dose to a maximum of 90mg of nifedipine once a day.
If you are elderly, lower doses of this medicine may be prescribed by your doctor.
Do not stop taking your medicine until your doctor tells you.
Children must not take this medicine.
If you take more VALNI XL than you should:
If you take more VALNI XL than you should, immediately contact your doctor or pharmacist. Elimination
of the product and the restoration of stable cardiovascular conditions may be needed. If you take too
much nifedipine low blood pressure (hypotension) can occur, which can be recognised from symptoms
like dizziness, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, lethargy, flushing, a lack of oxygen (hypoxia),
headache or red spots on the face. Eventually, unconsiousness can occur. Increased or decreased
heart rates are also a symptom of overdose. In the event of overdose it is recommended to lay the

standing position (hypotension), fainting, a fast heart beat (tachycardia), diarrhoea, a dry mouth, indigestion,
wind (flatulence), feeling sick, leg cramps, sleep disorders, nervousness, pins and needles, dizziness
(vertigo), difficulty in breathing, itching, rash, an increase in the need to pass water and bed wetting.
Rare side effects which may affect less than 1 person in 1,000 are: allergic reactions which may appear as a
yellowing of the skin (jaundice), chills, swelling of the face, fever, problems with your circulatory system, loss
of appetite (anorexia), belching, problems with your gut, inflammation of the gums, tender or swollen gums

the active ingredient, nifedipine. It has not been shown that these heart attacks were due to treatment
with nifedipine.

It is not enough for us to prostrate ourselves under the tree which is Creation, and to contemplate its tremendous branches filled with stars. We have a duty to perform, to work upon the human soul, to defend the mystery against the miracle, to worship the incomprehensible while rejecting the absurd; to accept, in the inexplicable, only what is necessary; to dispel the superstitions that surround religion --to rid God of His Maggots.

New & classic episodes on demand
As the unspoken leader of the Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas attracted legions of young fans with his fizzy, parent-approved pop songs. The New Jersey native wasn't the group's only frontman -- he shared that role with his older brother, Joe -- but he was certainly its main songwriter, drawing from his experiences as a childhood Broadway actor as well as his love of classic pop music for inspiration. A performer since the age of seven (the age at which he joined the Broadway cast of Annie Get Your Gun), Nicholas made his songwriting debut in 2002, when a holiday tune he'd co-written with his father found its way onto a Broadway charity album. A contract with Columbia Records followed two years later. Nick began prepping for his solo debut by writing material with his older brothers, Kevin and Joseph, who eventually climbed aboard as permanent partners. Nick's solo project thus blossomed into a full-fledged band, and the siblings aptly named themselves the Jonas Brothers. It took several years for the Jonas Brothers to find an adoring audience. It's About Time, the band's 2006 debut, was a commercial flop, and Columbia Records dropped the group one year later. Signing with Hollywood Records in 2007, the band began attracting new fans -- most of them young and female -- by establishing a presence in the Disney world. They appeared on the network's television shows, earned their own series, starred in a made-for-TV movie with Disney starlet Demi Lovato, and sold close to two million copies of their self-titled sophomore album. They replicated that feat one year later with A Little Bit Longer, and returned in 2009 with Lines, Vines and Trying Times. All of the albums featured heavy contributions from Nick, who not only led the songwriting process but also played a wide variety of instruments, from drums to keyboard to guitar. Taking a rare break from the band, Nick began working with several other musicians on a side project. Members from Prince 's New Power Generation were recruited to join the lineup, including Michael Bland and Tommy Barbarella, and the group dubbed itself Nick Jonas & the Administration before making its debut in early 2010 with the album Who I Am. ~ Andrew Leahey

Songs performed on the television show âNashvilleâ will be released and marketed by Big Machine Record Label, the Nashville-based label and ABC Studios announced Wednesday.
Under the agreement, Big Machine will have exclusive rights to release the original music featured on âNashville,â including songs performed by actors such as Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere. Each week the record label will post songs for sale and distribution on iTunes and ABCâs Music Lounge, a website that features the music and artists on ABC television shows. The first of those tracks will be available Oct. 9, the day before the show airs on ABC.
âNashville,â shot exclusively in Music City, is a primetime drama revolving around the cityâs music industry. The initial intrigue surrounds the relationship between Brittonâs character Rayna James, a legendary but fading country star, and emerging singer Juliette Barnes, played by Panettierre.
ââNashvilleâ is a project that is very close to our hearts, and we are elated to have found a partner with the same passion and vision for the accuracy we are trying to achieve in the show,â Dawn Soler, senior vice president of ABC TV Music, said in a statement. â(Big Machine CEO) Scott Borchetta and the Big Machine Label Group came to the table with a great sense of enthusiasm and commitment to creativity that will uniquely maximize the music experience.â
As part of the agreement, Big Machine artists also will contribute to the soundtrack for the series. Eli Young Bandâs âEven if it Breaks Your Heart,â Greg Batesâ âDid It For the Girlâ and Justin Mooreâs âSmall Town USAâ all will play during the first episode, according to the press release.
It is not clear if the soundtrack will be provided exclusively by artists affiliated with Big Machine, which also is home to Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts. Nor does an artistâs involvement with the label mean their music will be played on the show.
âWe are very selective of where and how we place our music into visual media,â Borchetta said in a statement. âMusic has to feel organic, appropriate and authentic when it is paired with on-camera visuals. When I saw the pilot for âNashville,â I knew instantly we needed to be part of it. Not only does our partnership make sense given how closely the show reflects the nature of the music business, but the showâs talent has created some incredible music.â

The General Assembly approved Gov. Martin O'Malley's transportation initiative Friday, legislation that will raise gas taxes to rebuild the state's depleted highway construction and repair funds, as well as move forward on long-term light rail projects.
Citing legislative analysts, the Washington Post reports that motorists will likely pay an additional 13-20 cents per gallon by mid-2016.
Essentially, the legislation creates a wholesale tax that will be indexed to the price of fuel. The current 23.5-cent gas retail tax in Maryland hasn't been raised since 1992 and is not adjusted to inflation.
The legislation ensures that revenues generated from the new gas tax will be dedicated for transportation projects. Currently, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. metro region commuters suffer from some of the worst congestion in the country, costing the state an estimated $3 billion annually, according to a transportation study funded by state business groups. The legislation is expected to raise $4.4 billion in revenue for transportation projects over the next six years.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell also recently passed a massive transportation bill in his state, albeit with a different funding mechanism, to help alleviate congestion in the Hampton Roads area and Northern Virginia.
Among other projects, the revenue from the transportation bill will enable plans for the 14-mile Baltimore City/Baltimore County Red Line and the proposed 16-mile light rail Purple Line from Bethesda to Prince George's County to continue moving forward.
"With the passage of the Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act today, we will support more than 57,000 jobs, ease traffic congestion, and build a 21st century transportation network," said Gov. O'Malley in a statement. "Maryland has now recovered nearly 95 percent of the jobs lost during the Bush recession, and today's vote will help us put even more families back to work.

Picture shows white gold and just states gold. I fully intended to buy a 14k White Gold Diamond ring for my husband. I was assuming I was getting white gold. Appeared to be white gold when first purchased. As he has been wearing the ring 6 months now, the ring is gradually turning to yellow gold. Appears to be a ring that is coated with white gold. This should have been disclosed so I knew what to expect. Very disappointed with my purchase.
My husband loves the ring and you go it to me really quick. I look forward to doing even more shopping with you.
I bought this ring as replacement ring fory husband as he lost his first plain gold band ring. I first shoped at the popular diamond stores however their white 14k whit gold rings were 1,200.00+. This ring was half the price and i.must say i am impressed with the quality! The diamonds shine brighter then my own 3 Karat ring, am sort of jealous of my husbands ring now! we were out the other night and his ring was literally sparkling across the room! thanks overstock
The ring looks amazing. It definitely got a reaction from him. He absolutley loved it. And so did everyone else I showed it too. I still have not however recieved any information on the 2 yr service plan that I purchased. I will have to contact customer service for that though. I also did not like that the ring did not come with any type of documents, maybe it was supposed to come with the service plan Note from Customer Service: We are a green company and do not send paper contracts. You can access/print the Protection Plan through your account. It is under order history and to the right of the plan on the invoice.
Very nice ring. I got this for my husband for our wedding and it looks so nice. It actually looks like you paid a whole lot more for it.
At first I purchased the smaller � ct diamond ring and it sparkled like I expected, but thought the ring was too small. So I went ahead and exchange the � ct diamond ring for the � ct diamond ring and figured it would be even better. I was not impressed at all with the 1/2 ct diamonds in this ring they had no luster in them. I read all the reviews first before purchasing this ring for my partner. I am not sure if I received the same ring everyone else did when reviewing the comments on line. The diamonds did not pick up the light even when held under the lamp. I would have to give this ring a two star and I am sad to say that I might have been better off shopping at *** #61516;

Big Dividend Captures With Microsoft, Walgreens, Lilly, Target and Duke
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Dividend capturing is comparatively new to the retail shareholder. Prior to the Internet, transaction expenses, limited option liquidity and lack of information crafted barriers, thwarting investors from exploiting this market edge.
The most essential requirement to obtain a dividend is to be a shareholder on the necessary day of record. Options can be used to capture multiple dividends by retaining the stock and option longer than three months.
For writers of options, Theta (time decay of option premium) is their greatest comrade, and for buyers, the cruelest enemy. Options are a decaying resource much like milk, and using an option hedge while holding a stock can be profitable, even if the stock doesn't move higher. This is especially true in higher-yielding stocks, since higher-yield options have lower-time premiums, all else being equivalent.
Also, the longer I retain a covered-call position (like two weeks with a front-month option, for example) the lower the time premium is worth, all else being equal.
A requirement I have is to be able to sell a call option in either the front or first back month, that is in the money and with enough premium that I will not object to an early exercise notice (which does happen from time to time, but is profitable if everything is done according to plan). My last step (completed before making a trade on the same day) is to check company announcements and news sources for possible price-moving events. This is especially critical during earnings season. (Read my 5 Oversold stocks 5 Oversold Stocks Ready for a Bounce Higher article). Microsoft (MSFT) MSFT data by YChartsMicrosoft produces a wide range of software products for a multitude of computing devices. The company was founded in 1975 and is based in Redmond, Wash. Yield: 2.61%
Dividend Amount: 20 cents
Ex-Dividend Date: Aug. 14
Beta: 1.01 Strategy: Buy Microsoft stock and offer to sell the August $27.00 strike or lower call for 32 cents over the intrinsic value. I will attempt to close out the trade with a gain of near 24 cents, plus dividend. I don't want the option hedge unless the sale will provide at least the minimum 32 cents over intrinsic value. (Read my article Sprint, AT&T Rip Higher In Front of Earnings.) If my shares are called away before trading ex-dividend (resulting from the option buyer wanting the dividend), I gain about 32 cents. The most I can make is 52 cents if I hold the covered call through option expiration day and the stock gets called away. MSFT Payout Ratio TTM data by YCharts

Jun 10, 2011Although L.A. Noire is great on both systems, it's best on the PlayStation 3. With improved performance, better frame rate and an added case, this is certainly the version of the game to get. The strong cast of characters, compelling storyline and ambitious sense of scope makes this one of Rockstar Games' best products yet. Just remember to switch to black and white!

All the things I've only read about in Dashiell Hammett novels, or seen in film classics like Double Indemnity, have all come to interactive life in L.A. Noire.
May 16, 2011L.A. Noire is a revolution in videogaming, both in technological and narrative terms. Its peculiar structure won't make it accessible to everyone though, as the more action oriented players will have to comprehend its sometimes cryptic and episodic structure to fully appreciate the mix. It's still largely recommended to every player out there, since ignoring it would mean losing a fundamental step forward for videogaming as a rich and noble entertainment form.
May 16, 2011The content isn't much more graphic than your average TV cop drama (apart from the occasional nudity), but it's heavy subject matter for a game, and Noire plays it surprisingly straight, with very little of the wry humor that characterizes most Rockstar releases.
May 23, 2011L.A. Noire's intriguing character profile, deep interrogation and investigation system, and impeccably detailed facial technology puts this detective thriller in a class of its own.
Jun 13, 2011It's hard to shake the feeling that they narrowly missed the lofty mark they've set for themselves. A great game? Sure. An instant classic? Not quite.
May 21, 2011Despite how accurate it looks and feels for the time period, it still ends up being little more than a 3D cardboard cut-out most of the time. Also, while the detective aspect is pretty well realized, all of the action sequences I was involved in felt far too planned out, and eliminating any sort of random element from them makes them a little too sterile for my taste.
Score distribution:
Positive: 184 out of 278
Mixed: 48 out of 278
Negative: 46 out of 278

May 17, 2011This isn't a game where you go around killing people. You have to use your brain and be a detective. It's not perfect, but it's immersive and amazing.

Coach of Winless UConn Football Team Fired
Paul Pasqualoni is out after a 0-4 start to the Husky season.
The UConn Huskies are making some big changes in an attempt to turn around a winless football season.
The Connecticut university announced Monday morning that head coach Paul Pasqualoni has been fired effective immediately.
"I am making this change in our football coaching staff now as we approach the conference season to see an improved performance from our football program," said University of Connecticut Director of Athletics Warde Manuel. "I am disappointed in the record of our team thus far, but I am confident that our coaching staff and student-athletes will continue to work hard to improve and that will be reflected on the field of play as we start our American Athletic Conference season."
In addition, the statement says, associate head coach and offensive line head coach George DeLeone has also been relieved of his responsibilities.
Pasqualoni, of Cheshire, will receive a $750,000 payment in full satisfaction of all financial obligations of his contract, according to a statement from the university.
NBC Connecticut reports that Pasqualoni had two years remaining on his contract.

For the privilege of paying exorbitant fees, investors in hedge funds have suffered the indignity of underperforming a simple indexed stock/bond portfolio yet again:
Let me be honest: I didn't have the patience to read the whole article.
But a thought kept trying to explode in my brain during the little bit I read:
The Financial Times (half owner of the Economist) keeps remind us how not very well hedge funds have performed during the last couple of years.
So do most other similar publication that have an advantage over Financial Times that I have ceased to read for over thirty years because of slipping far too often into biased reporting: they separate clearly news from opinion.
Not even a year ago, the intended hedge fund of hedge funds (MF Global) went as bankrupt as Lehman Bros (I'm aware of the difference in sizes and repercussions).
Most famous hedge funds (including John Paulson's and George Soros's) seem to have lost a huge share of their amassed wealth owing possibly to bad currency bets.
With this background do you think it's good journalism now to head line an article The success of hedge funds?
Are you behind times or behind sponsoring a not too successful betting industry?
Maybe you should go back and read the whole article.

Maybe you should go back and read the whole article.
But having been very much involved in quality press goings on, I'm unfortunately only too well acquainted with the yellowish paper trick of writing a headline that is then denounced in the text.
That was half of my objective, apparently successful judging by your reply.
The other half was to draw attention, once more, to the not too stellar performance of the finance betting industry of late.
But then everybody is aware of it.
Or just maybe?
I've clicked once again "recommend" instead of "reply".
Have definitely to buy new specs...

Most of the hedge fund managers today are inexperienced and have started the fund a few years after working at a large bank like Goldman. They are highly correlated to the markets with limited liquidity due to lock-ups and gates.
Why do they attract so much institutional (so called "smart") money? Because the decision makers at large pension funds, etc. are low paid bureaucrats with limited investment experience and qualifications. It's like giving a low level municipal worker the reonsibilty over tens of billions. This is going to end up in a disaster for pensioners.
The hedge fund industry is like any other risky profession.
Does the average soccer professional make a killing? The average theater or movie actor? How about the average singer?
The average hedge fund return is less than if you put your money into a low fee S&P 500 index. But the top hedge fund managers outperform the market several times over. As do the top private equity funds. And the top venture capitalists. And the top investment fund managers.
Does that mean money investment is a science? NO.
Does that mean a "one size fits all" approach is the solution? NO.
Would you pay Tom Cruise as much as your local theater actor? Pay Wayne Rooney as much as your local club football player?
Up to the last sentence is all well - at the very end you insinuate that Tom Cruise pay should be bigger than that of a local comedian which is agreeable. The question is: is his actual pay justified and to this my answer is no. I enjoy occasional encounter with Mr. Cruise trough the screen but I do not think his exorbitant pay is justified by his playing abilities. If at all then it is justified by his business and negotiation ability rather than that of an actor or a director and also only in this sense that it is justified because somebody paid this much. I have not gone to the cinema to see his movies, I have not rented a video and I do not watch glamor programming in tv so all commercials there aimed at me are amiss. I have seen his movies in free tv and I think that says it all does it not? I go into such detail because the comparison is indeed right - the top breed of fun managers has skill but this skill is as much business itself as bullying, lying and pretending to others on how big they indeed are as well as added bonus of luck they had to get where they are. I'd say the last element is extremely big in their case.
Then don't see his movies, dollar votes. Cruise is a brand and people will pay to see a movie b/c he is in it.
Does that mean some of them should be in jail? YES
Net of how much they earn, big-name actors actually reduce the profitability of the movies they appear in. In the case of Tom Cruise, he of limited acting skills, personal baggage and corrupt morals, this is double whammy for the studio executive naive enough to bet on him and subsidize his cult.
>>Cruise is a brand and people will pay to see a movie b/c he is in it.<<
Pffft! It's not the 1940s anymore! People see movies by reviews (whose aggregates are easy to find online) or by budget (for special effects and whatnot), with adjustment for favourite genres/story types.
Big actors in big movies are only paid a lot because this is the way it has always been done (and producers are typically not much for innovation), and it's safe. But no recent movie has ever failed – either critically or financially – because, while it had great story, direction, special effects, and marketing, it lacked good enough or recognisable enough actors.
I'm not sure I can agree with the 2-20 fee structure listed in the books. From my own interaction with hedge fund runners, as well as statements in 'Diary of a Hedge Fund' and 'Hedge Fund Market Wizards'; fees through competition became much less.
Firstly to a 1-10 structure, then to a 50/50 split over a benchmarked return. That being said, other practices have become more common, i.e. such as one year initial lockups to stop drawdowns
