At the dawn of the 22nd century the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system has been taken over by several huge and ambitious megacorporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible catastrophe that befell Noah's Ark, the first colony ship of mankind.
On the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: "The Jupiter Incident". You are Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain. With your legendary spaceship Stiletto you find yourself in the middle of the conflict.
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is one of the few examples of a TFS: a Tactical Fleet Simulator. The strong, elaborate story takes you from mission to mission and allows different approaches. It's up to you which tactics you choose to bring each mission to a successful conclusion, although you can lose a battle and still go on to keep fighting in the war. A reward system enables you to repair, upgrade and enhance your ships depending on the approach you chose. Mission briefings let you roam through an unbelievably accurate 3D animated star map system.
Are you up to the challenge of saving a galaxy?

So far, every review before this one has 5-starred it, and I want very badly to agree. The graphics are about as good as anyone has any right to expect, and then some. It's mission requirements are varied and rarely ever repetitive. It offers the chance for pulling some really slick tactics, and you will need to know how to use them since this is simply not the kind of game whereread more you just point your ships at an enemy and tell them to attack it until it blows up (beautifully!), and the fact that you have Baldur's Gate-style pause-and-play to help issue orders at whatever pace with which you are comfortable keeps it from being too overwhelming.
That said, my gripes, some petty, some less petty, keep that last star off. First, for all of the tactical options it offers you, it seems to expect you to find precisely the right one, which results in there being much less flexibility than it seems. In that sense, it plays more like a puzzle where you will have to find the right solution. If you don't, you will likely end up having to restart and try something perhaps completely different. Second,and this is kind of an extension of the first, there is no mid-mission saving, and when you couple that with some unforgiving, difficult stealth-type missions which require you to go very slowly, this almost guarantees that you will restart several times and be forced to go through the same boring sequence until you "crack the puzzle." Third, for some of the similarities that this shares with a Homeworld-style game, it's a shame that free-form movement is so much more difficult here than it is there. You almost are stuck telling your ships to go someplace that is either marked by a waypoint, or occupied by another object. While you do have the ability to place your own waypoints, it's very clunky and non-intuitive. It discourages you from going off the beaten path, I guess.
Anyway, that's the stuff of substance. The petty stuff: voice acting, while not bad, can get somewhat annoying, especially from the alien characters, and when you have to listen to the same exchanges while restarting certain missions to find the right solution, it will probably become rather tiresome. The stuff that's not quite so annoying is mainly just competent. I found the best examples to be the Captain's Log entries during the cinematic interludes to be the best.
For all the time I've spent griping about this stuff, it probably looks strange to see a 4-star rating. The simple fact is, I do happen to like puzzle games and as a result, I have developed quite a bit of patience for this sort of thing. And the payoff, the last few missions' brilliant set-piece battles, totally makes it worth it for me. Space battles are practically pr0n for me, and I'm willing to put of with a lot to get them. Ultimately, this delivers precisely that, and for those that have the same kind of patience as I do, maybe all the stuff that I've been yipping about won't matter that much. Definitely plenty of pro over con, and it really was one of the best-looking games that came out that year. More games should be using that graphics engine, and we need more tactical space-battle games that are as nuanced as this.

Someone once called Nexus Ground Control in space and they couldn't have come closer to the truth. As a Tactical Fleet Simulation (as the designers decided to call their new genre), it offers everything a starfleet commander could want, but could not get in other games. While in some game series you command a fighter or at best, a single capital ship through several mission (Homeworldread more being the wonderful exception in this regard), in Nexus you control an ever growing fleet, from the orbit of Jupiter to an astounding and (spoiler alert) universe-saving outcome.
Contrary to many sci-fi games, Nexus tries to follow certain hard science rules that are otherwise eschewed in the name of simplicity or fun. But don't allow yourself to be bothered or taken aback but the physics of it all. In actuality it makes the game far more enjoyable and battles are longer than what it usually takes to fire your torpedoes/missiles and finish of the enemy in one blow. The weapons and other ship systems at your disposal allow you to create your own strategies. Will you go in guns blazing with your fleet overcoming enemy flak with a multitude of missiles or will you try the stealth approach and disable enemy weapons up close with specialised armament? What may come as a surprise to many a gamer, the weapons for destroying ship hulls and disabling ships are separate, which means that you need to think carefully of your layout and let me tell you, that extra shield drain weapon will come in more handy than the hull obliterating stuff. You also need to take into account explosion radius and I have lost many a mission when an exploding enemy capital ship from a couple of kilometres away wiped out a huge chuck of my fleet.
As well as having great control over the command of your fleet, you also have the opportunity to enjoy quite stunning visuals for the time and a widescreen mod can easily be found. The music also complements the action greatly and keeps you at the edge of your seat. In conclusion, all I can say is, if you enjoyed Ground Control and/or Homeworld and if you ever wanted to feel like an admiral in a game that respects your choices and offers true consequences for you military tactics, than this is the game for you.

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is ... Well I won't just repeat what other reviews said, it's quite simply an excellent piece. It's got it all: tactical gameplay where you won't get far without planning ahead and actually thinking troughout battles (no choice really since you only get a limited number of ships that you can equip however you want troughout the missions,) great graphicsread more that really nail the feeling of space combat, huge explosions, ships going pew pew everywhere, battle damage actually showing up on hull until only a lifeless, drifting hulk remains. Really, it's brilliant.
But that is not all there is to it. The game also has a really engaging story, with some solid writing and voice acting, that can get you completely immersed in the world. You get everything: Captain logs, ship-to ship barter, your crew regulary informs you of new developments or just talk to each other, it quite simply has a lot of personality.
The only sad thing is that this gem has been so overlooked. I really hope that this gog release remedies this at least a bit - it's just too good of a game to miss.

text: Best Dressy Sweatshirts For Holiday Parties 2012 When Two (Style) Worlds Collide, You Get These 10 Dressy Sweatshirts by Marisa Tom 11/15/12 9 Reactions 18 Shares Print 0 6 12 0 0 We'll tell you this right now: this is as close as you'll get to wearing your sweats to a party. Seriously. In the same vein as other punched-up loungewear, you get the best of both worlds. Let's be clear, though: this is kind of a harvest-moon situation. Yes, you can don these dressy sweatshirts year-round, but we find that these ultraembellished, lace-covered, bejeweled, and feathered iterations make the best statement during the holidays. Instead of opting for a festive cocktail dress, go with something that's fun, eye-catching, and that basically solves all your styling problems in one go. There's a 3.1 Phillip Lim sequined, colorblocked top (pictured here) that we're betting even the sportiest styler will fall for, but if you're not one for the sparkle, don't sweat it. We've got more subtle metallic foiling and houndstooth print where that came from. Ten, to be exact. Now, all that's left to do is add a slick pair of black trousers and pumps — or a pencil skirt, if you're feeling sexy — and you're ready to hit the holiday party circuit. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The minute we spotted this gray silk iridescent sequined sweatshirt by Phillip Lim ($995), we knew we'd never feel the same about "dressy" sweatshirts. It's literally a party of one on top, with all the appeal of something comfortable and sporty. All you need is a pair of slim-cut black trousers, ankle-strap pumps, and a snakeskin clutch (just a suggestion), and you're ready to hit the party circuit. 1 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Following suit on the baroque trend, Zara's brocade knit sweatshirt ($70) gives us everything we need in the way of dark, moody romance with a side of textural elegance. 2 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 As part of the eBay Holiday Collective, the Tibi Quixote lace short-sleeve sweatshirt ($85) has been high on our shopping list for a while now, but now its lacy finish is ours for the snagging. It can be yours, too. Wear it with a waxed/coated pair of jeans and patent-leather loafers for a dressy-meets-low-key look. 3 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A festive, red-sheened topper with a classic houndstooth print provides the perfect amount of holiday dynamic, so you needn't do much else in the way of bold accessorizing. The best part? This piece really exists: J.Crew Collection houndstooth popover ($525). 4 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's something totally vintage-y (like, maybe you found this at the back of your cool grandma's closet) about this April, May Noa sweatshirt ($257). The antiqued paillettes and metallic sequins punch up this casual topper tenfold, and we have to say, it's an eye-catching choice. 6 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For the girl who wants to keep her flashy fashion more subtle, this ASOS two-toned sweatshirt ($60) plays to both a laid-back sensibility and a party-loving personality. WIth one look at it, you'll know what we mean. 6 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's all about the strategic studding on this Topshop beaded textured sweatshirt ($90), and we're pretty sure the edgier styler would agree. If you're just grabbing drinks, this embellished option would go great with a black leather jacket and a fuller circle skirt. 7 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This may be the only time we'll tell you it's OK to look like a full-on disco ball, and who can blame us? This Alice + Olivia Evelina Top ($396) sets a very festive tone all by itself, but rest assured it isn't too over-the-top. Just remember to go easy on the rest of the styling points: neutral tones are your best friend. 8 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The drawstring detail at the hem of this Mango flower-print sweatshirt ($50) gives whole new meaning to proportional play. Keep it more relaxed with denim and heels, or cinch it in with a slimmer pencil-skirt silhouette; it works either way. 9 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sometimes all you need is a little sparkle (and feathered detail) to put a luxe spin on your party wares. Case in point: the L'Agence raglan sweatshirt ($300), a key staple in your holiday wardrobe, especially when paired with a longer pencil skirt or a miniskirt-and-opaque-tights combo. 11 / 10 0 6 12 0 0 Read More Holiday FashionTopsShopping Holiday Fashion Prepare Yourself For Cannes With a History of the Festival's Best Dresses 5/14 The Easiest Way to Get Carrie Bradshaw's Shoes Into Your Closet 2/14 10 Stars Who Met Their New Year's Resolution of Looking Hot 1/12 End the Year on a High Note With This Clock-Stopping Outfit 12/31/13 16 Accessories to Ensure a Sparkling Start to 2014 12/30/13 Shop These 4 NYE Dresses Right Now! 12/30/13 Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

Bioluminescence is the production of light by living organisms through an internal chemical reaction. Bioluminescence is found among some insects, mollusks, fish, ctenophores (comb jellies) and annelid worms. Some of the most dramatic light-producing creatures are found in marine environments. Bioluminescence should not be confused with fluorescence, in which light from an outside source is stored and re-emitted. The production of light in bioluminescent organisms results from the conversion of chemical energy to light energy. (Click here for more on the chemistry of bioluminescence.) Organisms use their luminescence in different ways; dinoflagellates, a group of marine algae, produce light only when disturbed, while other animals use their light to communicate or find prey.
The Bioluminescence Web Page The Bioluminescence Web Page is maintained by the Biology Department of the University of California at Santa Barbara and maintained by Steven Haddock and James F. Case. This web site is divided into the fundamentals of bioluminescence and current research in the field.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography: Bioluminescence This Scripps Institution site posts several basic (yet somewhat technical) articles on bioluminescence. The site notes that dinoflagellates, the most common source of red tides, are also the most common sources of bioluminescence at the sea surface. There is also a page where students can learn how to obtain and culture marine dinoflagellates at home or at school.
Harbor Branch Bioluminescence The bioluminescence page from the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute gives a basic discussion of the how bioluminescence occurs as well as insight into how scientists at the Institute study bioluminescent animals.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography: Explorations Another Scripps page, from the Institution's Explorations web site, offers a series of pages on bioluminescent plankton entitled Glow with the Flow. It explains bioluminescence and discusses research done on bioluminescence. These pages also have big, colorful pictures.
Deep-Sea Bioluminescence Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) scientists have observed a range of animals living in the deep sea giving off light, from fish to swimming sea cucumbers. This site describes many organisms that one may not associate with marine luminescence.
Earthworm Bioluminescence John E. Wampler, an emeritus professor from The University of Georgia Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, provides slides of various bioluminescent earthworms from around the world.
Glow Worm The UK glow worm survey, though not affiliated with any official body, gathers a great deal of information about the glow worm.
Springbrook Glow Worms Research Centre From Queensland, Australia, this center outlines online their continuing studies of indigenous bioluminescent organisms including glow worms and luminous fungi. The writing is done in a manner to give all visitors, young and old, an overview of the work they are doing.

Christmas markets have been part of this festive time for centuries in Germany. They were usually held in front of churches and were looked at as part of a church visit. The oldest recorded market dates to 1310 in Munich, Germany. It was called "Nikolausdult" and was very different from the markets of today. It was an opportunity for farmers to come to town, do some shopping and at the same time, offer their wares.
The reformation of the church in the 16th century brought changes to the Christmas markets. Nikolaus was replaced by the Christkindl (Christchild) as the gift giver and the Nikolaus markets became Christkindl markets. This custom began in the Protestant areas of Bavaria with Nuremberg being the first city to call its market "Christkindlesmarkt." Munich, a Catholic city, changed its "Nikolausdult" to "Christkindlmarkt" in 1805.
"This little town is built from wood and canvas. Its splendour's short,
From Nuremberg's Prologue of the Christ Child, an essential part of the Christkindl Market opening ceremonies.
In modern times, Christkindl Markets combine the festive atmosphere of heavenly choirs and succulent foods with gift shopping for such items as toys and other presents for children, crafts and gift items.
Kitchener, Ontario, is the natural location for Canada's original Christkindl Market. Originally known as Berlin, Kitchener was founded by German-speaking Mennonites who emigrated from Pennsylvania to till the virgin soil of what is now Waterloo Region. In fact, descendants of those original Mennonites can still be seen in the region driving their horse-drawn buggies and selling produce in local markets.
In 1996, Christkindl Market was brought to City Hall by founder Tony Bergmeier, to breathe life into downtown Kitchener. Today, over 35,000 visitors from across North America come to experience our award-winning event.
Visit "Come to Germany" website.
It is awesome! This reminds me of all of the traditional Christmas markets I saw in Germany. I loved the markets in Germany and miss them a great deal, how nice it is to relive a bit of the atmosphere here in Kitchener.
Love your market!!
Love it. Traditional December event we all look forward to at our house. Thanks!
My mom has taken my brother and I to the Christkindl Market ever since it first opened. We felt surrounded by love and happiness and enjoyed being around the German community - especially because we could not be with our family in Germany at Christmas. I still remember and still feel the warm feelings I first felt when I visit the Christkindl Market. I always make sure I attend each year with my Mom and now take my daughter along as well. I hope she too will be able to attend for years to come and in the future, bring her children as well.
Our family has been coming to the Christkindl Market in Kitchener for five years now. We absolutely love it there. The sights, sounds and smells really put us in the Christmas spirit. This has become a very cherished part of our Christmas traditions. Three generations of our family take part in it. What a special time is had by all. Thanks for the memories...already looking forward to next year.
Just like Germany! Love the organ grinder!
As the rest of the world gallops forward, there is a tradition that keeps people in Waterloo Region firmly rooted in the past, at least during Christmas. The annual four-day Christkindl Market opens Thursday in front of Kitchener City Hall, recreating a Bavarian tradition first officially recorded in 1310. The original market, called Nikolausdult, was designed as a temporary affair constructed from wood and canvas and erected in front of a church. Visitors from far and wide would arrive to both sell and purchase items, some from other countries, giving the market an international flavour. Then in a few days, it would all disappear. "It's about tradition," she said. "That's what people are looking for." The market features vendors, selling all manner of items: German-made toys, handcrafted jewelry, art glass items, gift baskets, beeswax candles, gifts, chocolate and marzipan, original art, music, leather, hand-painted wearable art, tree decorations, music boxes and everyone's favourite, apple fritters. Christkindl Market takes over much of city hall, both inside and out, with gift vendors indoors and food outdoors on Civic Square, where they will pander to anyone with a hankering for Germanic food, including schnitzel, marinated herring and Schinken on a bun as well as the regular crowd pleasers such as sausage, potato pancakes, stollen and waffles. This is no time to go on a diet. And for those needing a rest, the 10th floor has been turned into a place to sit, relax and eat your goodies.
Nice to preserve our cultural heritage. We really enjoyed the train room
Wonderful! My husband is German- was like "home" for him! Visiting is becoming a yearly tradition! Thanks!
Think Oktoberfest, except that the beer is replaced with Christmas cheer.
"I will be there again on the Saturday to enjoy my childhood memories all over again, not to forget the food and smells of this special time."
Ich Liebe Christkindl Markt
Love the Market! It's my first time here and it's been awesome! Thank you!
Love the market, reminds me of my time living in Germany
I'm now feeling the Christmas Spirit, Thank you!
We love it! It gets us in the Christmas spirit!
Herrliche Tradition aus Deutschland - Ich war nur mal zu einem Christkindl Markt. Das war circa 1975 in Pforzheim im Schwarzen Wald. Ich kann mich noch nach all diesen Jahren an die wunderbaren Lichter und Aromas, so wie all die schoene Musik und die Weihnachts Stimmung, ganz gut erinnern, als wenn es gestern war. Vielen Dank dass Sie diese herrliche Tradition aus Deutschland herueber gebracht haben. Ich wuenschte wir koennten jaehrlich kommen um den Christkindl Markt zu besuchen.
Christmas spirit ...we like to see all of the vendors. It's a wonderful event and my Christmas spirit doesn't begin until I attend your festival.
It brings back memories of Germany during the Christmas season!
I just want to thank the team that sets up the Christmas Tree and oversees Christkindl. What a wonderful way to spend a lunch hour! I go every year on Thursday and Friday. I LOVE it! It just lifts the spirits and is so "magical"! Thank you for such a wonderful experience, every year!
As always, our family enjoyed the Christkindl Market so very much! Thank you for nurturing this tradition in Kitchener - we hope it keeps going for many, many years... Thank you once again for a wonderful Christmas experience our family has made part of our yearly tradition!
Kindling the Christmas Spirit -I remember the first year of the Market about 10 years ago. Snow falling gently, beautiful German music playing outside, high quality Christmas goods for purchase from friendly vendors, hot-mulled cider, the nativity scene, the skaters - what atmosphere!!! The magic has hooked me ever since. So much different from the mall! Thanks for kindling the Christmas spirit.
My husband's family is German and up until we visited the Christkindl Market a few years ago I only had stories and some samplings of the different Christmas foods from Germany from his family. Until we visited your wonderful market I never really understood the fascination my husband has always had for German Christmas. Since that first visit my husband starts planning our next visit in October! He wouldn't miss it for the world and I have come to appreciate his heritage even more through experiencing this bit of Germany in Canada! Every year we bring our teenagers and invite our friends. Thank you for all your hard work - Christmas isn't Christmas for us now without the Christkindl Market!
Can you please do a candlelight precession on Friday and Saturday nights too?
Beautiful. Love the nativity and ornaments. Everything ist wunderbar
Love it-part of my yearly Christmas tradition!
Wonderful - An annual event for myself!
Wonderful Tradition!
Nice! I just moved back from living in Europe for 9 years, this was so nice!
Excellent community spirit and great event for family. Loved the food, gluhwein, apple fritters, sauerkraut..
It is well organized
Love this festival - begins Christmas!
Santa does not have to be in a red suit The Christmas spirit is alive and well in Kitchener: My four-year-old daughter; two-year-old son, my Mom and I had gone to Christkindl on Dec 7. My son was in total rapture as he looked upon a display of moving toys. To the right of me was a lady watching my son's gazing and dreamy state. The lady took a box with the toy inside and shoved it under my arm; my reaction was no, no, no. I looked at this kind-hearted lady and she said she wanted to buy it for the little guy, and that she was going to be thinking about him on Christmas morning as he unwraps his gift from her. I want her to know Santa does not have to be in a red suit with bells on and a beard. He could also be a she, a kind and special lady.

We absolutely love it! It's been a family tradition to go to the German Christmas market at the Toronto International Centre since I was a small child back in the 70's and 80's. Now I have children of my own and we have been coming to the Kitchener Christkindl Market for the past 10 years. We stay at a nearby bed and breakfast go to the farmers market and then the Chirstkindl. It's a beautiful weekend that we look forward to all year long. I love the whole German feel. My mother was German from Darmstadt. We grew up speaking German with all the German customs and festivities. Christmas and Nikolaus Tag were our favourites. Your Christkindl still captures that traditional German feel with the products, food, childrens/adult choir and German people. The smell of the the roasted beer nuts, bratwurst, goulash soup, saurkraut, potato pancakes and blacksmith fire in the crisp, cold winter air creates a feeling in me that I cannot explain. It really makes me and my family feel wonderful and happy. With all the craziness in today's world, it's so good to know we can disappear for a weekend in the warmth and nostalgia of the Christkindl.

Darryl McArthur says Daniel McCormack abused him when he was a little boy and he's coming forward now to bring attention to these unspeakable actions.
He's 27 years old now but Darryl McArthur says his innocence was taken away when he was 10 years old. McArthur grew up on Chicago's South Side in the St. Ailbe Parish.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, McArthur says Daniel McCormack, his former catholic priest, abused him while he was attending baptism classes from 1994 to 1996. McArthur says he's been silent and hiding behind the shame for decades.
"I want Daniel McCormack and the archdiocese to be held accountable," McArthur said. "I represent and appreciate the privacy of being a John Doe but my name is Darryl McArthur and I feel it's time to put a stop to this culture of secrecy in the Catholic Church."
McArthur says Daniel McCormack was his priest. He helped him out as an altar boy and during baptisms. As a child, McArthur says he trusted McCormack because he was his coach.
"With his skills as being a basketball coach and a good football coach, you know he excelled in…showing…kids how to become pretty good athletes and that's how I was lured in," McArthur explained.
Daniel McCormack was sentenced to five years in prison in 2007 after he was charged with abusing boys in a parish on Chicago's West Side. When McCormack came up for parole in 2010, it was denied because prosecutors say he is still a threat.
The Chicago archdiocese has already agreed to settle these cases against their former priest.
Darryl McArthur's attorneys have already filed suit and they say they're now working on a settlement.

Inside Amazon Web Services
From storage to payment, the king of clouds is dangling an array of low-cost services. We take a close look at the tools for IT and developers.Follow @infoworld
An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) consists of an operating system and whatever applications you want pre-loaded when the virtual machine is started. Currently, only Linux is available as an EC2 instance's OS, though this is hardly a limitation. There are quite a few distributions in Amazon's catalog of prebuilt AMIs. Perusing the list, I found ready-to-use AMIs for Ubuntu, OpenSolaris, Centos, Fedora, and many others – all told, more than 100 AMIs ready to go. You can build your own AMI using a free Amazon-provided SDK, but the process is lengthy. It is far easier to select a prebuilt AMI from the catalog, and customize it as necessary. Even so, many available AMIs include software for specific applications; you may well find one that already has much of what you need.
Simple Storage Service (S3). Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) is effectively a large disk drive in the ether. Strictly speaking, that's 90 percent of everything you need to know about it. It has no directories and no file names – just a big place where you can store and fetch unstructured data in gobs as small as 1 byte or as big as 5GB.
What I call a "gob," S3 calls an "object," and in place of "directory," S3 says "bucket." So when you store a 200KB JPEG on S3, you're putting a 200KB object in a bucket. A given AWS account can own up to 100 buckets. A bucket can hold an unlimited number of gobs, and it can be configured to reside either in the United States or Europe. Presumably, this provides users a comforting feeling of locality, because buckets are available anywhere on the Internet that Amazon is accessible. Cost differences between the two are tiny; a bucket in Europe will run you something like two-thousandths of a cent more per 1,000 requests than in the United States.
Digging a bit deeper, you can think of an object as a three-in-one entity: key, value, and metadata. The key is the object's name, value is its content, and metadata is an array of key/value pairs carrying information about the object. (Access permissions are also associated with an object, but are treated as separate from object storage.) An object's name can be between 3 and 255 characters, and the only constraint that Amazon places on names is that they not confuse URL parsing. Thus, an object with a name of "192.168.12.12" is a bad idea.
Whereas the architecture of S3 is effectively a flat file system, S3's APIs permit a clever programmer to build apparent subdirectories within a bucket. The hierarchies have to be encoded in the object names, which is less than ideal; however, it's an artifact that code could simply mask. So, if you want one directory of animals and another of vegetables, you might have object keys such as "animal-cat", "animal-dog," "vegetable-beet," and "vegetable-carrot." Using the prefix parameter of the List operation, you can restrict retrieved object keys to only animals or only vegetables. More complicated data structures should be kept in Amazon's Simple Database.
Amazon Simple Database Service (SimpleDB). While Amazon S3 is designed for large, unstructured blocks of data, SimpleDB is built for complex, structured data. As with the other services, the name says it all. SimpleDB implements a database that sits behind a lightweight, easily mastered query language that nonetheless supports most of the database operations (searching, fetching, inserting, and deleting) you'll likely need. In keeping SimpleDB simple, Amazon has followed the principle that the best APIs are those with minimal entry points: I count seven for SimpleDB.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

The Steelers are still down a few starters, but they are looking to continue negotiations with a few players, and could have some new roster additions by the end of today.
It's been a long three days, and the Steelers have been more active than in years-past, although to mixed reviews from its fan-base. Here's a look at the updated numbers as they stand.
The Steelers are in the midst of reconstructive surgery. President Art Rooney II says it's not easy, but it's something they must do every year.
Lewis' contract is for 5 years, $26 million with $10.5 million guaranteed, and he reportedly did give the Saints a hometown discount.
The disgruntled receiver had a plan heading into free-agency, and he was going to cash in on his electrifying speed; but after examining his new contract, did he actually get a good deal?
Steelers safety Ryan Mundy will be joining the NY Giants.
The former Bears tight end was linked with the Steelers last season before re-signing with Chicago. He'll reportedly be in Pittsburgh today to discuss a contract.
The signings were there, rumors still flying, even if they aren't the high-level variety.
A teammate of cornerback Keenan Lewis's at Oregon State, Butler was a fourth round pick in 2009, and has performed fairly well in his time with Dallas.
The Steelers moved to address a vital empty spot on the roster by re-signing the player who has done it well enough to remain virtually invisible his entire career.

The thought of [John McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine.
—United States Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi)
According to a recent article in the Chicago Tribune, some voters in the critical political battleground state of Pennsylvania are leaning towards Barack Obama because economic matters are trumping candidate "character" in determining their choices in the presidential election.
If "the economy" hadn't become the overwhelming issue, the Tribune reports, these voters would be going with John McCain because of his supposed superior personal qualities.
The voters are worried about Obama's moral fiber because of his past connections to such supposed moral monsters as the black pastor Jeremiah Wright and the former SDS Weatherman-turned education professor and charter school advocate Bill Ayers.
The Tribune story is titled "Character Counts; Economy Counts More" (J. Tankersley and C. Parsons, Chicago Tribune, October 9, 2008, sec.1, p. 13).
While I am no particular fan of Obama's personality and neoliberal politics, I find the Tribune article's angle and title distressing. I do not expect mainstream voters or reporters to follow me (a left Marxist since age 18) in feeling little shock at the crimes of Ayers (decades ago) and in having little problem with the rhetoric of Wright. I get it that most Americans are in no position — morally, ideologically, or in terms of information received — to share my understandings of why Ayers briefly became a (rather hapless) ultra-left "terrorist" and why Rev. Wright is angry at U.S. policies (and crimes) past and present.
What is more difficult for me to swallow is that anybody could identify John McCain with anything remotely connected to positive moral character. The candidate atop the current malicious Republican presidential campaign — increasingly reduced to the preposterous claim that Obama is some sort of "far left" enemy of "American" values and institutions (my recently released book "Barack Obama and the Future of American Politics" is an antidote to that charge) — is a characterological catastrophe.
As Tim Dickinson notes in a recent Rolling Stone profile of McCain, the Republican presidential contender has demonstrated a shocking lack of principle with his recent policy contortions. McCain's campaign positions have shifted drastically to the hard right on the Bush tax cuts (for the rich), court appointments, oil drilling, the religious right, and torture. Having once found it politically useful to oppose all of these things, McCain now embraces them.
The supposed centrist "maverick's" swing to the far right has found grotesque expression in his running-mate selection — a viciously stupid evangelical hit lady whose only qualification for office is her ability to energize the GOP's white-nationalist messianic-militarist and pseudo-Christian base.
"Straight Talk" McCain has recently undertaken politically calculated rightward leaps on immigration/border policy, gay marriage, lobbyist power, and "talking to our enemies." He has shifted positions on financial regulation and the AIG nationalization in response to financial capitalism's deepening crisis.
In detailing McCain's recent wild and rightward policy swings, Dickinson quotes numerous Republicans who told him that the candidate's only real concern is personal advancement. Former Republican U.S. Senator Lincoln Chaffee and McCain were once the only two Republicans to vote against Bush's tax cuts. He joined with a differently calculating McCain in opposition to oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and to George W. Bush's most reactionary court appointments. Now Chaffee says that "John has made a pact with the devil."
Besides being monumentally inconsistent and unprincipled, McCain is a loose cannon who would pose grave risks on the global stage if he were to reach the White House. By Dickinson's account:
"At least three of McCain's GOP colleagues have gone on record to say that they consider him temperamentally unsuited to be commander in chief. Bob Smith, the former senator from New Hampshire, has said that McCain's 'temperament would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him.' Sen. Domenici of New Mexico has said he doesn't 'want this guy anywhere near a trigger.' And Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi weighed in that 'the thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded'" (T. Dickinson, "Make-Believe Maverick," Rolling Stone, October 16, 2008, p. 70).
Along with being perceived as dangerously selfish and reckless by a number of leading Republicans, McCain appears to be something of a vicious bastard. He cussed his wife out in the vilest terms imaginable in front of three reporters in 1992.
He joked at a 1998 GOP fundraiser about the "ugliness" of Chelsea Clinton, attributing her physical appearance to the fact that the lesbian Attorney General Janet Reno was "her father."
In April of 2007, McCain responded to a voter's foreign policy question by singing "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran" to the tune of the old Beach Boy's tune "Barbara Anne."
It's all very consistent, Dickinson shows, with McCain's pampered youth as the legendarily irresponsible, boorish, and stupid son and grandson of four star admirals in the U.S. Navy. After graduating 894th in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy, McCain became a notorious party-boy who repeatedly crashed Navy planes. Any flier without McCain's would have lost his wings.
McCain was able to achieve notoriety and build a political career around the claim to be a "war hero" because he managed to get shot down while bombing the civilian infrastructure of North Vietnam. Contrary to his carefully cultivated myth of special and holy "sacrifice for country," McCain received favorable treatment by informing his Vietnamese captors the he was the son of a top U.S. military official (Admiral McCain head of the U.S. assault on Vietnam by the early 1970s). He divulged military information (the name of his ship of origin and the target of his assault) other American POW's refused to release under torture.
McCain's subsequent career and highlights include:
* The vicious abandonment and divorce of his first wife after she suffered a crippling car accident and the 42-year-old McCain became smitten with his future wife – the 24-year-old former USC cheerleader Cindy Hensley, a wealthy Budweiser heiress.
* Using his position as the Navy's liaison to the U.S. Senate to secretly negotiate (against the wishes of the Secretary of the Navy) an egregious pork project – the replacement of the aging aircraft carrier "The Midway."
* Voting in the U.S. Senate against the Martin Luther King holiday.
* Voting to confirm the arch-rightist Robert Bork for the U.S. Supreme Court.
* Calling for the abolition of the U.S. Departments of Energy and Education.
* Championing a bill that eliminated catastrophic health insurance for senior citizens.
* Intervening along with four other senators in 1987 to prevent federal regulators from investigating Lincoln Savings and Loan, a corrupt institution owned by McCain's leading contributor and friend Charlie Keating. The S&L collapsed two years later under the weight of Keating's corrupt real estate dealings, costing U.S. taxpayers $3.4 billion and defrauding 20,000 holders of Keating's junk bonds.
In the late 1990s, Dickinson shows, McCain dropped his initial post-Vietnam reluctance to support aggressive U.S. wars and underwent a dramatic "neocon makeover." McCain's arch-militaristic conversion was consistent with his initial claims that "the liberal media" had undermined the "national will" and therefore cost noble America a "war it should have won" in Vietnam.
McCain turned into such a "bellicose hawk" that he went beyond Dick Cheney in "spreading bogus intelligence" in advance support of George W. Bush's criminal invasion of Iraq.
McCain's hyper-militarism combines with the sense that he is a loose cannon to prevent top Republican generals like Brent Scowcroft and Colin Powell from endorsing his candidacy.
For whatever reason, Dickinson does not mention McCain's likely strong connection to recent reckless U.S.-imperial provocations of resurgent and nuclear-armed Russia. Dickinson might also have mentioned the Arizona senator's inflammatory call for the formation of a U.S-led "League of Democracies" to (presumably) replace the United Nations – a body from which McCain would ban Russia and China.
It is common among left commentators – the present writer included – to criticize dominant U.S. political culture's tendency to privilege candidate character and "qualities" over substantive matters of policy and ideology. America's quadrennial candidate-centered corporate-crafted "electoral extravaganzas" (Noam Chomsky's term) tend to cloak the fundamental corporate and imperial consensus between reigning parties and politicians, focusing voters on superficial differences of candidate style instead of the fact that both of the nation's dominant political parties are well to the right of the populace on numerous key issues. The current election year is no exception.
Still, "character counts" when it comes to who is going to hold what is still the most powerful single office on Earth – the U.S. presidency. The vicious, stupid, unprincipled, and reckless John McCain is morally, mentally, and physically ill-suited for that job in ways that must be made abundantly clear to as many voters as possible over the next three weeks. It should be emphasized that the 72-year-old cancer (Melanoma)-patient McCain – the infamously "hotheaded" son of a father and grandfather who both died from sudden heart attacks (at ages 62 and 71 respectively) – could very well keel over dead the day of his possible inauguration, bringing us to the unthinkable brink of a Palin administration.
If you live in a contested state, I suggest that you smell with supreme fear what McCain and Palin are cooking and vote accordingly. This ain't just Democratic Coke versus Republican Pepsi, comrade: it's Coke versus Crack.

Robe moving lights and Anolis LED fixtures have been specified and installed into Fusion, a new 750-capacity nightclub in the UK. The building was completely redesigned with a new interior design by Graham Chance of Breley Design, and a lighting, sound, and AV design by Andy Chamley of AC Audio Rentals. The main room has three bars, and there is also a VIP and a Sports bars on other levels.
The owner's only design specification was the installation of four circular and two "S" shaped trusses in the roof as visual rigging points for the lights and to give the roof a shape and form.
Chamley chose 16 Robe DJ Scans 250s and eight Robe Spot 250 XTs scattered across the trussing to get dynamic angles and good overall coverage of the dancefloor and other areas. Chamley chose Robe lights because "they are well made, keenly priced, tough and reliable," he says, adding that they are "really versatile fixtures."
The DJ Scan is a fast, bright light thanks to its MSD 250 lightsource. It features 11 dichroic filters plus open on the color wheel and a gobo wheel with nine replaceable rotating gobos plus open. The shutter system offers full dimming and variable speed strobe effect, and they are also small and unobtrusive enough to tuck neatly into the ceiling.
The Spot 250 XT is a particular favourite of Chamely's. The optical system has a 15º objective lens as standard, with 12º or 18º options. It takes glass or metal gobos and it has a color wheel offering 11 dichroic filters plus open. The fixture's overall dimensions are expedient, which is a great asset in Fusion as it enables the ceiling height to be maximized.
The installation also utilizes some generic lights, strobes, LED batons, and a mirror ball, but the moving lights are the workhorses. They were programmed by Maria Jenkins using a LightProcessor QCommander console.
Above the main dancefloor bar is Fusion's principal feature–a shower room to showcase pole-dancing performances. The shower comes on for short periods during peak dancing time after 1 am. Chamley used Anolis strip fittings–six Anolis Arcline 12 400mm RGB fittings with three Anolis ARC power 36 Intel DMX power supplies and an ANYtronics Anyscene controller–to light the shower. These are mounted along the top lip of the ceiling, just outside of the shower, flooding the room with light, and not flinching in the damp conditions. The effect is stunning as they reflect and bounce off the metallic mosaic tiles lining the shower.

What is your greatest strength?

The question
What is your greatest strength?
What are your strengths?
Tell me the top three things you are best at.
What they are looking for
With this question the interviewer is seeking to discover both your actual strengths and also what you believe to be your strengths.
When they talk about strengths, they may be seeking any combination of knowledge, skills and personal attributes.
They may also be checking what they think are your strengths with what you think. If you tell of strengths without giving evidence, then if they think they are not strengths. On the other hand, this is an opportunity to change minds.
How to answer
Whilst this is not a time to be shy, you should generally avoid excessive bragging. A neat way of answering this without appearing arrogant is to tell them in terms of what other people have told you.
I have been told several times that I am very good at influencing senior managers to get resources we need for projects.
At my last personal review, my manager told me that my written work is amongst the best in the company.
Where you can, link the strength to actual things you have done and the value that you have created. You can thus link strengths to successes.
I have been consistently successful at delivering projects on time. I believe that a key element of this is my attention to detail.
You can also focus on the prioritizing element of the question, talking about 'greatest'. In doing, so, of course, you can also talk about other strengths you have.
I have consistently out-sold the national sales benchmark and led my team to the President's award five times, but I think that my greatest strength is that I care about my customers. This is something that I believe you cannot fake and which is at the root of consistent success.
Some of the strengths that you might show include determination, pride in a job well done, teamwork, leadership, expert knowledge, working to deadlines, etc.

Product Details If you aim to horrify and terrorize this season, go with a purely scary Halloween costume that will keep everyone glancing nervously over their shoulder. Scary movies have produced some of the most terrifying personalities ever conceived. Use one such unsettling creation as the basis for your next look in a movie character costume that will horrify. This adult Halloween costume features everything you need to become the Chatterer. This look will make all who behold it question their sanity. The design is far from basic, with lots of intricate detail and gore. The black, faux leather jumpsuit features long, narrow pant legs in solid black. The sides of each upper leg feature a silver striped patch for added effect. The top is very detailed, with a rectangular opening at the center and a gory gash that runs vertically. Either side is accented in diagonal silver stripes, with a matching chest. Perhaps the most grotesque aspect of this horror holiday outfit is the scary mask. The head-covering mask features a bald, domed top in a fleshy hue that looks somewhat uneven. The face appears horribly scarred and mangled, with a gaping, bloody hole revealing its gaping maw. This look requires very little additions to reach its fullest frightening potential.

(CNN) - President Barack Obama's Twitter account offered an initial reaction to Wednesday's ruling deeming a key provision of the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.
Today's DOMA ruling is a historic step forward for #MarriageEquality. #LoveIsLove—
Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 26, 2013
His communications director previewed further reaction later today.
We will release a statement from President Obama on the SCOTUS Rulings from Air Force 1 as we head to Senegal—
Dan Pfeiffer (@pfeiffer44) June 26, 2013
USAF Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh said this week that Obama's sequester has grounded 33 squadrons, and many pilots are losing their proficiency. "If we were ordered to go do" a no-fly zone over Syria, "we'd go do it," but we would be "accepting the risk of those people not being as current. For me, that's a risk we don't want to be accepting."
Yup, the GOP's Sequester Bill is certainly a problem. Why won't they fix it?

It's been an autumn of parties for the White Light Group, the London-based lighting distributor, and winter looks set to continue the same way, but with one major difference: autumn was political parties, winter will be festive ones.
In the political arena, White Light Group members were responsible for lighting both the Labour and the Liberal Democrat Party Conferences. Having worked with the LibDems during their 2001 Election Roadshow, Colourhouse, White Light's conference and exhibition lighting specialist, was once again entrusted with the Party's lighting, working again with lighting designer Tim Ball and set designers The Original Propshop. Meanwhile, the Labour Party conference called for lighting with a rig that included fifty moving lights and ten 5kW fresnels supplied by White Light and The Moving Light Company, with the installation overseen by a team led by production electrician Stuart Crane. At least one attendee seems to have thought that the rig was overkill: the Daily Telegraph pictured a perspiring Tony Blair glancing up at the bright lights as he commented "Thank you for the free sauna"!
The Christmas season will see the White Light Group switch into festive party mode, with White Light Events already heavily booked for the late-autumn and Christmas seasons. Many of these events build on the working relationships White Light Events formed in its first season last Christmas, most notably with the return of the Christmas Party Structure in Coram's Fields, just south of King's Cross in London, which will house a number of themed environments over the party season. White Light Events are also lighting events at the Hop Exchange in London's Borough Market, as well as many other corporate parties.

It's called Veterans Day south of the border and Remembrance Day in Canada and in other nations in the British Commonwealth and elsewhere around the world.
For the first time in a dozen years, Nov. 11 comes with no significant number of Canadian soldiers deployed on a mission overseas, either in a combat, training or peace-keeping role.
The last of the nearly 1,000 Canadian troops assigned since 2009 to the United Nations-led mission to train Afghan security forces will be returning home in the next few weeks.
Apart from that, according to government statistics, small numbers of Canadian military personnel are deployed on UN missions around the world, from Haiti (39), to Mali (40), the Sinai Peninsula (28) and Kosovo (5). A Royal Canadian Navy ship is on anti-terrorist patrol in the Arabian Sea with a crew of 250.
Back on home soil, Canadian troops are involved regularly in marine operations, including search and rescue, and in time of civic disasters, such as the massive flooding that struck Calgary back in June, where some 2,200 soldiers came to the rescue.
With the withdrawal from Afghanistan, Canada's first real combat mission since Korea, and the seemingly extreme reluctance of western forces to get involved in further "boots on the ground" missions around the planet, the federal government has launched a revamp of army operations called Defence Renewal.
Spending on Canadian Forces is the largest single item in the federal budget (as it is in the United States and pretty well all industrialized nations), some $18 billion. It's spent on 68,000 personnel in uniform, plus about 25,000 civil servants.
What's more, the federal government is committed to huge expenditures on new fleets of fighter jets, helicopters and ships to replace the current inventory of aging machines. This summer, for example, retired and active personnel got together for a big celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of the acquisition of the Sea King navy choppers.

I did something very stupid
I changed the color – of the text – not on purpose and now for the life of me, I cannot find where i can fix it.
I am using the unplugged theme and have made some changes, I need a really black background in the body with white text. How do I do this? I have changed everything I need to change, just these two little snags.

More photos please! Sandra is a beauty!
SHIP'S BELLE on deck for April: our well-rigged, shipshape Playmate Though brown-tressed Sandra Settani doesn't know a ship's Plimsoll mark from a porthole, in the past year she has become one of Miami Beach's most sought-after deck hands -- for the same pleasantly see-worthy considerations that have led to her selection as our April Playmate. Born in Wisconsin and raised and schooled in Illinois (she was a psychology major for two years at Southern Illinois University), Sandra first visited Miami Beach on a vacation trip, and liked the local view of the good life so much that she stayed on to work as a secretary in a real estate office; she now shares quarters with another ex-Illinois girl in a pink-and-white apartment "brimming with clothes and mirrors" which overlooks the bay and a panorama of the glittery hotel strip. A refreshingly friendly and happy-go-lucky girl, Sandra thinks the keynote of her character is an insatiable curiosity about "the mechanics of everyone's personality," and admits that her main shortcoming is a penchant for procrastination ("Just call me the original disorganization girl"). Being a tall (5' 8 1/2"), green-eyed head-swiveler, she naturally receives her share of attention from date-minded local bloods, and has developed a philosophical attitude toward the necessity of keeping the wolves from her door: "I just try to be tactful, and hope that they respect me for being courteous to them. As to men in general, my favorites are all well read, unassuming, self-made types, and -- most important -- fun to be with." Sandra is a moderately active outdoor girl, and like most young beachniks is fond of swimming, sunbathing and riding in power boats with masculine company on balmy weekend afternoons. "Nighttimes," she confides, "my idea of the ideal date is a long and leisurely dinner in a Polynesian restaurant, followed by a quiet get-together with either his friends or mine, followed by a late visit to a small, romantic night spot where there's good music and dancing and talk." On dateless evenings Sandra likes to eat out ("Why should I punish myself with my own cooking?"), then retire at 9:30 onto her gigantic bed, there to lazily read herself to sleep (via Ayn Rand, John Steinbeck or Kahlil Gibran). Her daydreams are as unclouded and euphoric as the local weather reports: "Mostly, I just let events come as they may, with the only goal in mind of having a good time. However, someday I'd like to finish college -- maybe in Europe -- and then travel like those lucky girls in the steamship ads, going to every exotic place there is. After that, I'd like to settle in Hawaii and live in a bikini and muumuu." For an unclad glimpse of our extraordinary seaman, yachtsmen should turn forthwith to the gatefold, where sleepy Sandra is shown playing it cool, wearing nought but a sultry expression beneath her nautical hat.

A fire ripped through a home on 13th Street SW in Lehigh Acres on Friday afternoon.
The family told firefighters that around 1:30 p.m., they left their home after cooking and forgot to turn the stove off.
When they came back, their home was fully engulfed.
Firefighters say high winds made the fire burn faster.
"Since the fire was vented through the roof of the structure, in high wind days like today what that does is it actually pushes the fire through the attic space and it's exposed to the elements," said Battalion Chief John Wayne of the Lehigh Acres Fire Department.
The house is now uninhabitable since the roof was destroyed. The family will stay with relatives. No one was injured.

There's more bad news for the Obama administration regarding the rollout of its healthcare program.
The first enrollment numbers are out, and they're not encouraging.
When the University of Michigan's "Big House" is filled on a college football Saturday, it holds about 110,000 fans. That's about the same number nationwide that managed to sign up in October for a health insurance plan.
It's far fewer than the half million enrollments that administration officials had hoped for in the first month of the program.
Here's how the numbers break down.
Only 27,000 individuals obtained private health insurance in the 36 states, including Illinois, that use the federal website.
79,000 signed up in states that run their own enrollment plans. That's a total of 106,000 nationwide.
Illinois applicants use the federal website. The goal for Illinois last month was 17,000 signups, but only 1,370 residents here have found plans they plan to purchase.
On Capitol Hill Wednesday, Todd Park, appointed by the president to fix the website's problems, testified that progress is being made.
"More and more individuals are successfully creating accounts, logging in, and moving on to apply for coverage and shop for plans. We have much work still to do," Park said.
But with increasing numbers of insured individuals having their plans cancelled, and new questions about whether private information is secure on the federal website, there is increasing criticism of the healthcare plan and its ability to deliver.
"This was a monumental mistake," California Rep. Darryl Issa said. "To go live and effectively explode on the launch pad."
So what's ahead? On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is gathering Democrats together for a meeting with health care officials from the White House to get an update on the website's future.

After 17 years and 2 trips to the NCAA tournament, CSUN men's basketball coach Bobby Braswell is out. Cal State Northridge is not renewing Braswell's contract. Braswell graduated from Northridge and went 251-258 in his 17 seasons, but the Matadors did not make the Big West Tournament for the last two years.
Braswell tweeted, "Extremely blessed by God for the opportunity He gave me over the past 17 years to touch the lives of so many great young men. Truly blessed."
Braswell said the university simply informed him that they are going in a different direction.
CSUN's new athletic director Brandon Martin has been on the job for just 12 days and he said basketball is the school's flagship sport and it needs to improve, "We need to compete for the Big West Championship every year." Martin is a former USC basketball player and he says he will conduct a nationwide search for a new coach.
Braswell sent out this tweet late Tuesday, "Hearing from my players throughout day, really blessed me today. They are the reason I do it!"
LOS ANGELES (AP-FOX11) - Bobby Braswell is out as men's basketball coach at Cal State Northridge after 17 years that included three 20-win seasons and two NCAA tournament appearances.
Incoming athletic director Brandon Martin, who played for Braswell in high school, announced the coach's dismissal on Tuesday after his contract wasn't renewed.
Martin currently is senior associate AD for administration at Oklahoma and doesn't officially begin his new job until April 1.
Braswell had a 251-258 record at Northridge. The Matadors were 14-17 this season, when they won their first seven games and then lost 6 of their final seven. They finished ninth among 10 teams in the Big West with a 5-13 record, and failed to make last week's conference tournament.
Braswell had deep ties to Northridge. He graduated from there in 1985 and returned as the program's fourth head coach in 1996.

Fr. Thomas Hopko has done the Church a great service with his book "Christianity and Same-Sex Attraction argues Dn. Brian Patrick Mitchell, a Deacon in the Orthodox Church of America. He is faithful to the moral tradition, approaches the topic with compassion towards the person struggling with same-sex attraction, and teaches how struggling with the passion can become a means of sanctification and movement towards greater communion with Christ, and affirming the possibility that healing exists for the same-sex attracted person. Alongside these strengths however, also lies weakness. Dn. Mitchell argues that Fr. Hopko has also inadvertently opened the door to activists within the Church who want to soften the prohibitions against homosexual behavior by positioning themselves "slightly left of Hopko." The weaknesses in Fr. Hopko's approach include 1) narrowing the categories of unacceptable homosexual behavior; 2) discouraging preaching and teaching that is offensive to homosexuals; … [Read more...]

Gold Bond's heritage dates all the way back to 1908, when the original Gold Bond Medicated Powder was first introduced to consumers in the New England region. Arthur W. Guilford bought the formula from The Rhode Island State Medical Association, who's conference of physicians originally developed it in 1882. For six years, Guilford mixed Gold Bond Powder in a small shop located on the top floor of a building at 47 Main Street in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. Right from the start, the unique powder enjoyed strong customer loyalty and a dedicated following that grew largely by word-of-mouth.
In 1990, Gold Bond was purchased by Martin Himmel Inc. who began developing the regional brand on a national level. During the early 90s, Himmel introduced the first Gold Bond line extensions - Gold Bond Medicated Baby Powder, Extra Strength Gold Bond Medicated Powder and Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Cream. In 1996, Gold Bond was acquired by Chattem, Inc., who has continued steadily building it into the market leading therapeutic skin care brand we know today. Now in its second century of healing, Gold Bond currently offers a broad line of products, including some of the fastest growing hand and body lotions, as well as the top selling medicated body powder, foot powder, foot cream, and foot pain cream in America.
Gold Bond. Does what it says.
