Devolver Digital, the publisher behind indie high-octane, top-down action game Hotline Miai, has revealed in a recent interview with Eurogamer that the title has sold 130,000 copies since launch but at the same time has been pirated at extraordinary levels.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Project manager Graeme Struthers has revealed that while the game has sold a nice chunk, "it has been torrented to such a staggering level," something that doesn't come as a surprise for the game's creators Jonatan "Cactus" Söderström and Dennis Wedin.
"It has been torrented to such a staggering level, and given the file size of it, I mean, you can't really be surprised, right? You could pass this thing around on the world's smallest memory stick," he noted. "So it has been torrented to extraordinary levels."Luckily though the team hasn't let that get them down, stating that it's "a way of life on PC", something developers like Minecraft's Notch know all too particularly well. Recently creator of Hotline Miami Jonatan Söderström released a patch for pirated copies, Struthers saying that "he just felt he didn't want people playing the buggy version of his game however they got it." While the number might not be as large as other indie titles have recently seen, the creators are still happy with the numbers no matter the size.
Devolver Digital has also released a new trailer, this time consisting of various voicemail recordings from an actual Miami landline that could receive voicemails and texts from fans. Check it out below for the creepy but cool atmosphere.
Hotline Miami is available now on various digital platforms for PC.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol is asking for the public's help finding a car they believe was involved in a hit-and-run.
On June 8, a Ridgeland police car overturned and hit a tree on Bees Creek Road near Chelsea Lane in Jasper County, according to the SCHP. Those in the cruiser were injured.
Deputies say the vehicle of interest has been identified as a gray or gold SUV. It won't have any damage though.
The two cars didn't actually hit each other. Anyone with information is asked to call police.

with reference to my yesterday's question I want to make it more trasperant i.e Can apostrophe be used after Pronoun 'I' like I's repenting instead of I was repenting.
In a word, no. The contractions with I are I'm, I'll, I'd and I've.
We don't contract 'was' or 'were'.
May I offer a couple of corrections?
With reference to the question I asked yesterday, I want to make it more clear. Can an apostrophe be used after the pronoun "I" to make "I was" "I's"?Originally Posted by arun
As TDOL pointed out, neither was nor were is ever used in a contraction. You have to write it out: "I was".

New PESD Working Paper details challenges of designing carbon offsets for the transportation sectorAnnouncement
Programs to enlist developing countries in climate change mitigation by granting credits for carbon emissions reductions across entire sectors like transportation are quite appealing in principle. However, as researcher Adam Millard-Ball shows in PESD Working Paper #97, "Adverse Selection in an Opt-In Emissions Trading Program: The Case of Sectoral Crediting for Transportation," any practical implementation of such schemes would entail thorny trade offs between economic efficiency, environmental effectiveness, and political acceptability.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

Get the details behind our redesign
behold a son!, the eldest son of Jacob and Leah (Gen. 29:32). His sinful conduct, referred to in Gen. 35:22, brought down upon him his dying father's malediction (48:4). He showed kindness to Joseph, and was the means of saving his life when his other brothers would have put him to death (37:21,22). It was he also who pledged his life and the life of his sons when Jacob was unwilling to let Benjamin go down into Egypt. After Jacob and his family went down into Egypt (46:8) no further mention is made of Reuben beyond what is recorded in ch. 49:3,4.
one of the 12 tribes of Israel that in biblical times comprised the people of Israel who later became the Jewish people. The tribe was named after the oldest of Jacob's sons born of Leah, his first wife.

Well once again I have left WoW behind. Mostly out of boredom, My raid has to many hunters and that has caused me to only to be a ble to raid once a month. Honestly that isnt enough for me so I left. I know leaving the g ame seems a little drastic for that but honestly after geting my dragon mount I have had little to no want to play any more. So oppon the recomendation of Rob I got Army of Two for my Xbox 360.
Now before I go into the game I want to talk a bit about xbox live. When I first got my xbox 360 now about a year ago I had an xbox live gold account for about 3 months as thats what came with the system. At the time you could download demos and play online with your friends you just couldnt host on a silver account witch is what my account went to after the 3 months. That was fine for me since most of my friends have gold accounts and are more than happy to host the games and all was good. Up till Monday night when Army of Two came in the mail from Gamefly. When Rob and I tried to play together a screen came up and said must be on a xbox live gold account to play. So I checked it out and found out that it is 8 bucks for a month or 50 bucks for a year. Jody let me get a year so I good untill 25 March 2009. Now it took a bit for the account change to accually make it to my system and after 5 minutes after Rob logged off to spend time with his wife it started working. Now my only other thought on this is why does Microsoft charge for Xbox Live when Sony doesnt for the Playstation Network? Odd I would think they would be priced the same aka free.
Now Army of Two is allot of fun. Its allot like last years hit Gears of War but more focused toward Co Op than single person experience. In the game you play as one of two guys
Over all I think it's a fun game and look forward to finishing it.

We may never know what caused the fire that destroyed an historic East Texas home.
According to Gladewater Fire Chief Wayne Smith, the state fire marshal determined it is unsafe to enter the structure, making it impossible to investigate the fire.
According to Gregg County records, the Bumpus House originally belonged to William E. Bumpus and his wife Catherine, who purchased the property in 1927. The home was recorded as a Texas historic landmark in 1994.
"I hate to see the building destroyed, or damaged like it has been. It's a town relic you know a landmark of the community for many years," said George Taylor who owns a neighboring business.
Gladewater Fire Chief Wayne Smith said the fire quickly spread throughout the home and he immediately called for back up.
"We had an excess of three separate engines, two tank trucks, and about approximately 20 to 25 men. We actually went defensive and started fire suppression, more fire suppression duties. I had to pull the guys out from the interior attack because of the structural fatigue at that time," Smith explained.
Chief Smith said the home was vacant and fortunately, no one was injured.
"The firemen did an excellent job with the age of the building and the building products." Taylor said.
It is a historic landmark now needing a lot of attention, leaving community members concerned about its future.
"It is a very unfortunate situation. Hopefully, somebody will take it upon themselves to rebuild it," Taylor said.
Smith doesn't believe the building is salvageable because of the wood construction and the amount of water used to extinguish the fire.

DLF Ltd has said its debt reduction will be largely based on three to four big-ticket divestments. The company said it hopes to mop up Rs 5,000 crore through the sale of its non-core assets by the end of this fiscal.
India's largest real estate player, however, maintained that demand for real estate is likely to remain subdued due to weak consumer demand, high interest rates and margins will remain stretched out.
During an analysts presentation, the company said, "Investor sentiment is low and inflation is sticky. We don't see much relief in next 12-15 months. Our performance in the quarter is in line with the macro-economic conditions," Saurabh Chawla, Executive Director, Finance, said.
DLF had reported 18 per cent fall in its consolidated net profit for the quarter ended June 30 at Rs 292.79 crore, compared with Rs 358.36 crore a year ago.
Speaking on its debt reduction, Ashok Tyagi, Group CFO, said: "We are pre-closing various deals and are optimistic that we will able to close the deals by mid-year".
DLF had overall disinvestment target of non-core assets of Rs 10,000 crore. The company has so far raised Rs 5,213 crore from sale of various non-core assets including hotel plots and IT SEZs/parks as it wants to focus on the real-estate business. In its presentation to analysts, DLF said its net debt stands at a whopping Rs 22,680 crore as on June 30 against Rs 22,725 crore at the end of last fiscal. The company said it had raised Rs 369 crore during the April-June quarter.
Meanwhile, the company said the commercial IT segment is likely to be adversely impacted by the global economic and political conditions. DLF said in the first quarter ended June 30, it has received a booking of 1.34 million square feet of gross sales booked as against 2.3 msf in Q1.
The rentals are also marginally down by 0.29 msf in first quarter 2012 compared with 0.73 msf in the same period a year ago. The company said it has received Rs 400 crore as rental income from offices and retail.

Vernon Hargreaves III is one of the top football recruits in the country. A cornerback recruit out of Tampa (Fla.) Wharton High School, Hargreaves is the best football player in the Bay area, and has been so since the 2011 season. Wharton stands 5'11" and checks in at 185 pounds. He holds offers from almost every major school in the country and is a consensus five-star recruit.
It's difficult to put together a scouting report for Hargreaves because he does pretty much everything at an elite level. His father is the defensive backs coach for the USF Bulls, and it is clear that he has absorbed much of the advanced coaching he's received since he was a little kid. Hargreaves could start for many BCS programs as a 17-year-old.
Hargreaves seems to always be in the right position, thanks to his instincts and years being around the game. He does break on the ball quite well, but if you watch closely, you'll see that he doesn't have as far to go to get to the spot as many corners because he's positioned himself better before the time comes to close on the football. There aren't many false steps in his game.
Hargreaves shows the ability to be quite physical and is a very good tackler. He can excel in man or zone coverage, with his smooth hips and quick feet.
Perhaps the only question on Hargreaves is his development at the next level. While a very good athlete, he's not a freakish athlete in the Deion Sanders or Patrick Peterson mold, and does not have the elite long speed of some corners. It's not clear how much better Hargreaves will get.
Still, Hargreaves is the surest bet at the cornerback position in a long while, and is deserving of top billing at the position.
While we're here, let's watch some college football videos from SB Nation's new YouTube channel together:

The last unofficial weekend of summer has been a hot and humid one thus far and going forward, this sticky weather will continue as our rain chances remain low.
Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies and mild temperatures as lows fall to near 70.
Sunday will be very similar to Saturday, hot and humid with highs near 90 and partly cloudy skies. There will also be a slim chance for a few pop up storms throughout the afternoon but, nothing that should ruin any of your outdoor plans.
Labor Day will have some clouds and sun with an isolated shower or storm possible in the afternoon and evening. Highs on Monday will continue to be hot, topping out around 93.
The heat and humidity will continue as we head back to work and school on Tuesday; highs will be in the lower 90s again, with partly sunny skies and a few afternoon storms possible. This unsettled trend looks to continue through Wednesday and Thursday too, with scattered afternoon storms possible and highs in the lower 90s.
We could get a break from the pop up afternoon storms Friday but, the unseasonably warm weather will stick around with a high near 90 expected.

Whatcha McCOOKin'?Posted Friday, March 26, 2010, at 1:17 AM
Mmmmmmm Yummy! Cheese frenchee,taco frenchee, jiffy burger, and fries with ranch dressing.
I know I am not alone when I say that one of the things I miss the most about McCook is the food. When I first moved away from McCook to the "big city" (ok, it was Kearney, but it was big to me), I was ecstatic at the number of new eating establishments I had available to me. That quickly wore off, and frequent trips back home would always involve a stop at Mac's Drive-in. Like so many other McCook grads that have moved away, Mac's is still at the top of my list when we make that "now infrequent" journey home. In fact, there is an entire Facebook group (with over 1,500 fans) dedicated to the sole desires of having a good ol' Mac's cheeseburger, french fries, onion rings, breaded mushrooms, pizza burger, steak sandwich, chicken strips, fish sandwich, chocolate malt, vanilla Dr. Pepper. . .the list goes on and on.
Living in Denver, we have access to all types of foods. Besides a love for Mexican and Italian foods, I've found that I am quite fond of Greek, Mediterranean, and Thai just to name a few. I have yet to try Indian food, and I haven't yet gravitated towards sushi. With my diverse palate (remember the over-extended waist line), I'm sure I will try these too someday. Even with all of these different foods at my fingertips, there is just something about wanting the food you can't have because it's nowhere near you. In fact, my hubby and I have driven 45 minutes one way just to satisfy our Taco John's craving. My sister, who lives in Loveland, is lucky because she has Taco John's and Runza nearby. I tell her we're coming for a "visit," but we truly have a secret motive. Only kidding!
Another place I miss in McCook--sigh, rest in peace--is Peter's Dairy Cr�me. My hubby never had the chance to try a jiffy burger, potato wedges, or a frenchee (also spelled "frenchie") from good ol' Peter's. Back in high school my car drove me through that long drive-thru at least once every few weeks (thank God for sports and a fast metabolism). It wasn't long after Peter's closed that jiffy burgers were found on the menu at Sehnert's. You could also buy a packet of the jiffy sauce from the grocery store. I'd often ask my parents to bring me a packet when they'd pay a visit. By then we had figured out how to get the meat mixture to the right consistency and what spices we should use. My mom--bless her heart--figured out how to make the jiffy sauce, which has since opened up the opportunity for me to make them any time we need a fix.
Just recently I introduced my hubby to the frenchee! Hello folks--this is a G-rated blog post. Ha ha! I'm talking about the "take-two-slices-of bread-add- mayo-and-American-cheese-then-dip-in-egg-and-cornflakes-before-frying-to-a-deep-golden-perfection" frenchee. He had never even heard of such a delicacy. Oh, the things I took for granted while growing up! I thought everyone knew about frenchees. To my knowledge, Peter's is the only place I knew of that ventured into different flavors of frenchees (perhaps King's had them?!). My dad and I loved taco, my sister preferred pizza, and my mom was fine with just plain cheese. I had made cheese frenchees before, but a couple of months ago I decided it was time to try my own version of the taco frenchee. My dad was on hand to taste the filling so I could get it just right. My mom helped me dip and roll. My husband helped me fry them up. The end result--absolutely delicious!
Moving back to McCook just so I can get my Mac's fix once a week hardly sounds like a good life plan, not to mention it wouldn't be good for the waistline. But, you McCookites should feel honored to have such a "desired" establishment in your town. There are plenty of other places I miss in McCook and the surrounding areas; however, since I am now completely salivating over the keyboard, I will refrain from going on about a good slice of pizza (with sauerkraut) from Rocket Inn in Indianola or taco pizza from Pizza Hut in McCook (the Pizza Huts out here don't have it). Besides, I've got to get ready for the company we're having over this weekend. Guess what we're having for dinner!?

Anyone been to Nightfall, Cascade or Manitou? Thinking of a trip next weekend, hoping for a conditions report. Thanks!
Cascade is pretty fat (leadable), Nightfall gets pretty thin at the top, and risk throwing down rocks as you top out if you're not careful, not sure if the last 30 feet or so would take a screw, (we top roped it) lots of other smaller formations in the canyon were in too so worth the trip, didn't make it to the manitou, but most likely stuff is in.
Thanks for the info! Did you hike up the rivers?
Anyone know what conditions are like at Casket Quarry? Are the ice routes on the ends in? Or is it mostly dry? Pictures would be nice too! Thanks.
Casket Quarry is completely dry. There is no ice. The water table was not high enough this fall to form ice. Same deal at Manitou--no ice to speak of.
Thanks Bryan.
Casket is still bone dry although we did find one "mixed" route with an 8 inch icicle. Cascade is MEGA fat and pretty steep for it's WI3 rating this season. Maybe it just felt that way because it was -10 degrees yesterday morning up there. Nightfall is in good condition too. It's still thin up top but no trouble topping out just watch the loose rocks. An old V thread was in good ice about 30 feet from the belay tree. Somebody please cut it down before it melts out with the thaw.

Don't let Christmas wrappings become a shopping list for burglars
5:00pm Wednesday 25th December 2013 in News
HOUSEHOLDERS have been urged not to place empty cardboard boxes that once contained expensive Christmas presents alongside the rubbish bin, as it acts as an advertisement to opportunistic burglars.
Police suggest ripping up the cardboard boxes that housed a new television, games console or iPad and taking them down to the recycling centre as soon as they re-open.
Officers also suggest taking a few minutes to property mark new items and register them on the Government backed national property register www.immobilise.com.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., June 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Franciscan St. Anthony Health-Michigan City recently expanded its use of capnography for respiratory monitoring outside the operating room, joining a growing group of healthcare leaders in embracing state-of-the-art patient safety technology.
Capnography measures how effectively patients are breathing and can alert medical caregivers when life-threatening respiratory depression occurs. By measuring the amount of carbon dioxide the patient is exhaling, capnography serves as the earliest indication of evolving respiratory compromise, which can lead to significant morbidity or even cardiopulmonary arrest if undetected.
Long used in operating rooms to monitor patients under general anesthesia, hospitals committed to patient safety are now deploying capnography to monitor the quality of patients' breathing in other care areas where respiratory depression may occur. Early indication of respiratory depression with capnography enables medical staff to intervene before serious adverse events happen. Respiratory depression may occur, such as in certain nonsurgical procedures and in certain hospitalization situations, said James Callaghan, M.D., President, Franciscan-St. Anthony Health-Michigan City.
The Joint Commission, the nation's leading hospital accreditation organization; the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) have all recommended monitoring exhaled carbon dioxide with capnography to detect respiratory depression.
Franciscan St. Anthony Health-Michigan City is among the nation's leaders in the early implementation of capnography monitoring outside of the operating room.
"Our hospital's commitment to quality care is further enhanced by our use of capnography," Dr. Callaghan said, adding, "Franciscan St. Anthony Health's use of capnography to monitor the adequacy of ventilation of patients outside the operating room is in line with the latest recommendations and underscores our dedication to patient safety."
Franciscan St Anthony Health-Michigan City chose capnography equipment from Covidien, a leading global provider of healthcare products and recognized innovator in patient monitoring and respiratory care devices.
"We commend Franciscan St. Anthony Health-Michigan City for joining hospitals across the nation committed to patient safety through the use of capnography," said Matt Anderson, Vice President and General Manager, Respiratory & Monitoring Solutions, Covidien. "And we appreciate its choice of Covidien's capnography technology as an excellent choice for monitoring patients."

Vehicle Profile: 2013 BMW X3
Value and efficiency come standard.
Breaking down barriers and exceeding expectations – attributes common to every model in the BMW stable and none more so than the new 2013 BMW X3 Sport Activity Vehicle. From establishing the very segment it dominates to defying preconceptions about the driving dynamics of compact crossovers, the X3 keeps on blazing new trails – giving buyers substantial room, nimble handling, abundant power, premium luxury and surprising versatility, all in a captivating streamlined package. This year, the X3 offers greater value and increased fuel economy thanks to a new twin-turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
Year in and year out, the X3 earns bestseller status for the legendary marquee from Bavaria, and its position at the head of the SAV pack comes as no surprise. Undergoing a full redesign just two model years ago, the X3 continues to evolve, constantly riding the cutting-edge in terms of technology. Consider that such innovative features as electric power steering, brake energy regeneration and a Automatic Start/Stop system are offered as standard equipment, and you won't be surprised to learn that the 2013 BMW X3 boasts a new small-displacement four-cylinder motor engineered to rival the power of far thirstier V6 powerplants.
BMW offers the five-seat X3 in two versions: the xDrive28i (MSRP: $38,500) and the xDrive35i (MSRP: $43,600).
Representing the latest phase of the eco-conscious BMW EfficientDynamics strategy, a new 2.0-liter TwinPower turbocharged four-cylinder takes its place under the hood of the xDrive28i. With 240 hp on tap, the new turbo-four matches the output of last year's normally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-six, while raising combinedfuel economy to 24 mpg.
Along with a twin-scroll turbocharger, the use of direct injection and VALVETRONIC variable valve timing help to deliver off-the-line punch -- with maximum torque of 260 lb/ft (up from 221 lb/ft) peaking at a low 1,250 rpm and holding fast all the way to 4,800 rpm. Stay on the throttle and you'll reach 60 mph from a standstill in 6.6 seconds, ideal for stress-free merging from highway on-ramps.
Buyers looking to pour on the power will want to step up to the xDrive35i with its turbocharged version of the venerable 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder – praised throughout the automotive world as the pinnacle of smooth responsiveness. A perfect balance of 300 hp and 300 lb/ft of torque delivers sportscar-quick acceleration runs from zero-to-60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. There's another bonus: This road-rocket crossover returns up to 26 mpg on the highway.
Both models channel power through a slick Steptronic eight-speed automatic transmission, which features Adaptive Transmission Control as well as Sport and Manual shift modes. Of course the "x" in xDrive represents the crossover's standard all-wheel-drive system with Dynamic Stability Control. While maintaining a rear-wheel-drive bias for sportier performance on dry roads, the xDrive system can send up to 100 percent of torque to either axle to improve grip under slippery conditions.
A bevy of driver-assistance technology sharpens the over-the-road agility of the X3 to a fine edge. Optional dynamic damping control optimizes suspension settings at each wheel for the perfect ride. Hill Descent Control uses the ABS brakes to maintain a predetermined speed when driving down a steep decline, allowing the driver to focus on steering. New for 2013, the available Driver Assistance Package now includes the Lane Departure Warning system, which issues an alert if the X3 should start to drift into the next lane.
Legendary BMW luxury is served on the X3 with an impressive slate of amenities. The base xDrive28i offers such standards as automatic climate control, eight-way power-adjustable front seats, a power tailgate, halogen free-form foglights, chrome exhaust tips and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with controls for audio, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free use of mobile phones. Step up to the range-topping xDrive35i and the list broadens to include a Panoramic Moonroof with power slide and lift control, Xenon Adaptive Headlights and LED Adaptive Brakelights
On the infotainment technology front, the X3 features a standard 12-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 sound system with a 205-watt digital amplifier and auxiliary audio input adapter. True audiophiles will crave the available Premium Sound Package including the 16-speaker premium sound system with 600-watt digital amplifier, 5.1 surround sound and a courtesy one-year subscription to SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
The award-winning iDrive telematics system offers intuitive control over a variety of systems including phone, navigation, entertainment and vehicle information. To help keep driver attention on the road ahead, iDrive operates through a (only 8.8 if Nav is equipped) glare-free high-resolution display screen, complemented by buttons mounted in the central console.
A host of packages allow buyers to build the X3 of their dreams. The tally includes a wide palette of leather-and-trim combinations (Premium Package), Park Distance Control and Rear View Camera with Top View (Technology Package) and Sport Seats, Anthracite Headliner and a full body aerodynamic kit with body-color exterior trim (M Sport Package).
The spectrum of active and passive safety equipment on the X3 rivals its comprehensive list of luxury and convenience features – topped by front-door-mounted side-impact air bags and active head restraints on the front seats. Utility takes a front-seat as well as the X3 provides 56.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the split-folding rear bench lowered.
There's only one compact sport activity vehicle that makes no compromises in terms of luxury, versatility, agility and power while dramatically reducing your need to make stops at the pump, and that's the founding member of the segment – the new 2013 BMW X3.

The Psoas is:
A healthily functioning psoas provides a sensitive suspension bridge between the trunk and the legs. Ideally, the psoas guides the transfer of weight from the trunk into the legs and also acts as a grounding wire guiding the flow of subtle energies. Working properly, the psoas functions like the rigging of a circus tent, stabilizing your spine just as guy wires help stabilize the main pole of the big top.
In addition, the psoas provides a diagonal support through the trunk, forming a shelf for the vital organs of the abdominal core. In walking, a healthy psoas moves freely and joins with a released diaphragm to continuously massage the spine as well as the organs, blood vessels, and nerves of the trunk. Working as a hydraulic pump, a freely moving psoas stimulates the flow of fluids throughout the body. And a released, flowing psoas, combined with a stable, weight-bearing pelvis, contributes to the sensations of feeling grounded and centered.
Psoas/Pelvis Relationship
Think of your pelvis as the foundation of a balanced skeletal structure. For your pelvis to provide this stable base, it must function as part of the trunk rather than as part of the legs. Many people mistakenly think of their legs as starting at the waist, perhaps because so many major leg muscles attach to the pelvis. But skeletally and structurally, your legs start at your hip sockets. If your pelvis tilts forward or back or side to side every time you move your legs, the bones can't bear and transfer weight properly. Your psoas will then be called upon to help protect the spine by stabilizing your skeleton. Since the psoas can contract and release independently at any of its joint attachments, it can compensate for structural imbalances in many ways. But if you constantly contract the psoas to correct for skeletal instability, the muscle eventually begins to shorten and lose flexibility.
Shortening the psoas leads to a host of unfortunate conditions. Inevitably, other muscle groups become involved in compensating for the loss of structural integrity. The pelvic bowl tips forward, shrinking the distance between the pelvic crests and the legs, and the femurs are compressed into the hip sockets. To compensate for this constriction, the thigh muscles become overdeveloped. Since full rotation of the thighbones can no longer occur in the hip joints, much of the rotational torque is transferred to the knees and the lumbar spine�a recipe for knee and lower back injuries. In your yoga practice, if you feel strain in your knees or lower back in seated and standing poses, your body may be telling you that you need to lengthen your psoas.
In addition to structural problems, shortening the psoas limits space in the pelvis and abdomen, constricting the organs, putting pressure on nerves, interfering with the movement of fluids, and impairing diaphragmatic breathing. Finally, by limiting your options for movement and by constricting your center, a shortened psoas decreases both your vitality and your connection to the sensations at your skeleto-muscular and emotional core.

Welcome to the debut of the new SB Nation mixed martial arts rankings format.
These rankings incorporate each of SBNation's MMA brands: MMAFighting.com, Bloody Elbow, and MMA Mania. In each division, two writers from each site will list their top 10. Fighters are given 10 points for a first-place vote, nine points for a second, etc., down to one point for 10th place. The results are then tallied up and presented here.
Participating in this month's poll are Ariel Helwani and I from MMA Fighting; Dallas Winston and Tim Burke from Bloody Elbow; and Brian Hemminger and Thomas Myers of MMA Mania.
We start this week with the heavyweights, where there's a strong consensus on the top five fighters.
*UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and the man he defeated for the title, Cain Velasquez, were unanimous choices for first and second place, respectively.
*There was near-unanimity at third and fourth place, as Strikeforce Grand Prix champion Daniel Cormier took five of six third-place votes and Fabricio Werdum did the same at fourth.
*Former UFC champion Frank Mir took fifth place by taking four of six fifth-place votes.
*The next three fighters on the list appeared on all six ballots, as Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva took sixth after his win over Travis Browne, followed by veteran Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Josh Barnett.
*Rounding out the top 10 are Stefan Struve and Roy Nelson.
(Official SB Nation rankings policy: Fighters under commission suspension are ineligible to be ranked during the duration of their suspension or if they have licensing issues. At heavyweight, the currently affects Alistair Overeem, whose license is denied in Nevada for elevated levels of testosterone).
- Junior dos Santos (15-1, 60 points): Ten straight wins, including victories over half the top 10. Enough said.
- Cain Velasquez (10-1, 54 points): Former champion has unquestionably earned his rematch with dos Santos.
- Daniel Cormier (10-0, 44 points): As of this writing, Cormier is in limbo, waiting on an opponent for Nov. 3, if the card even happens.
- Fabricio Werdum (16-5-1, 41 points): Winner of five of his past six bouts, the guessing game on Werdum's next opponent remains one of the most intriguing questions in the division.
- Frank Mir (16-6, 39 points): If nothing else, give the injured Mir credit for his willingness to step up and face Cormier, something others aren't exactly lining up to do.
- Antonio Silva (17-4, 22 points): Given an 0-3 record against the top 10, perhaps he's being a tad overrated based on his win over Travis Browne.
- Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (33-7-1, 1 NC, 21 points): Father Time is "Big Nog's" most formidable foe at this point, both in terms of age (36) and ring time (42 fights).
- Josh Barnett (31-6, 18 points): Like Cormier, waiting for his next opponent. Unlike Cormier, probably not destined for a long and prosperous UFC future.
- Stefan Struve (25-5, 10 points): Four straight wins and six out of seven for a fighter who is improving every time out.
- Roy Nelson (17-7, 9 points): No doubt MMA Math types will whine about Nelson being ranked beneath a fighter he knocked out (Struve), but this is about where fighters stand in 2012, not 2010.
Others: Mark Hunt 6, Shane Carwin 5, Travis Browne 1.

River Rally Clean-up crew! by Santa Clarita Atheists and Freethinkers - 10 months ago
"The Santa Clara River in Santa Clarita California is the longest free-flowing river and one of the last two natural river systems remaining in Southern California. Every year, there is a community River Rally, where civic groups get together and descend on the river to haul out all the trash and debris they can find. This helps preserve the river's natural beauty and variety of wildlife. This year our group, the Santa Clarita Atheists and Freethinkers, wanted a more cohesive look, so we ordered fabulous Custom Ink tees - don't we look great! Love those coordinating trash bags! (ps. At this year's rally alone, the total trash picked up was 10,400 pounds!!)"

South Bexar County man accused of stabbing brother to protect sister
Brother in critical condition after stabbing
A South Bexar County man is accused of stabbing his brother in order to protect their sister who was being attacked, according to a detective with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
The violent conflict happened around 9 a.m. Wednesday at the family's home in the 1300 block of Yellow Sky.
Detective Jesse Ochoa said investigators who arrived at the home found a man in his 20s suffering from a single stab wound to his chest.
His sister also had suffered a gash on her head, he said.
Ochoa said they determined the two siblings, along with another brother, had been involved in a dispute that turned physical.
"One brother struck the sister, and then a second brother jumped in to defend his sister. And during the fight, he ended up stabbing his brother, " Ochoa said.
Other investigators at the scene said the brother who was stabbed had been destroying property inside the home. When his sister objected, he went on the attack, they said.
Ochoa said it appeared the brother who did the stabbing was protecting his sister.
That man, he said, took off into some nearby woods.
Detectives said it's possible, though, that he may not face any charges.
The brother with the stab wound was rushed to a hospital in critical condition.
The sister also had to be taken to a hospital for treatment, Ochoa said.

Senator urges state to intervene to keep women out of combat
State Sen. Danny Verdin, R-Laurens, introduced a resolution in the Senate Tuesday urging lawmakers "to take whatever action is necessary" to prevent women from being placed in military combat roles.
Women already are finding themselves in the line of fire, but not by assignment or directive, Verdin said.
The bill is a joint resolution and does not carry any force. It is in response to U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta lifting the ban on women in combat roles.

Longtime state education finance chief retires
The S.C. Senate on Tuesday honored John Cooley, retiring deputy superintendent and chief financial officer for the S.C. Department of Education.
Cooley, who retires Jan. 31, has worked for the Education Department for 27 years.
State Sen. Nikki Setzler, D-Lexington, said Cooley is "the most knowledgeable person" in the state on the topic of public education.
"On the topic of school funding, there are only about five people in the state who understand it," said State Sen. Wes Hayes, R-York. "I'm not one of them, you are. Don't go too far, we may need you."

Expert to begin evaluating S.C. computer security systems
A three-year effort to evaluate and upgrade computer security systems at state agencies should begin in March, state officials said Tuesday.
The yet-to-be hired contractor will be asked to start with three agencies and issue recommendations by May 1, including cost estimates, State Budget and Control Board director Marcia Adams told the agency's oversight board. The report would come in time for budget discussions in the Senate.
Adams said her agency was collecting proposals and hoped to hire a contractor March 5.
That would be nearly six months after a cyber-thief stole unencrypted personal and financial data of millions of taxpayers from the state Department of Revenue computer servers. The state hired Mandiant, a Virginia-based information security firm, to immediately address the issues at that agency.
Gov. Nikki Haley said the consultant was needed to help officials upgrade data security across state government.
"I'm very happy with the progress made," Haley, chairwoman of the five-member budget board, said after the meeting. "This is going to be something ongoing."
Senate Finance chairman Hugh Leatherman, R-Florence, a board member, made clear the recommendations would be followed.
"Whatever comes out, the agencies will do it. They won't have the ability to say, 'No,'" he said.
The contractor will evaluate 18 agencies over three years, but the goal for May is to determine the most immediate security vulnerabilities, Adams said.
Her agency had help writing the request for expertise. Last month, the budget board approved hiring a consultant to help with the search. Cedric Bennett, former information security director at Stanford University, was awarded that $6,000 contract Dec. 20. He'll continue to help through the hiring process.
The consultant being hired will help the state centralize data security responsibilities. Currently, each agency develops its own computer security standards.
Inspector General Patrick Maley has said the current decentralized model is a recipe for disaster, and residents won't tolerate another security disaster.

Hey, I LOVE these guys (In a truly non-homosexual manner). But the problem I have with this release is the fact that it is not a "greatest" album. When I glanced at the tracks on the first disc, I giggled with glee thinking that an Over Kill best of finally made its way out. Quite frankly, I am sooo tired of trying to equalize and normalize all of my fave tracks for my MusicKeg. If I would have looked a little closer, I would have noticed that the track listing of disc 1 matched "Wrecking Everything:Live". So, In a nutshell, to all of you waiting for 'Kill to release a 'Best of', you're going to have to wait a little longer. Contained herein is 'Wrecking' and 'Killbox 13′. If you're new to Over Kill, this comes with the highest recomendation. It is a perfect blend of where they started and where they are going. For the rest, It kinda sucks if you already have these two albums. I gave it three stars for that reason alone.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This is wrecking everything live and Killbox 13 together. This was never advertised as a greatest hits at all.
The live cd is amazing , probablly one of the best live recordings ever. It Lives, I Hate, Years of Decay and Overkill are the best ones.
Killbox 13 is the album almost all Overkill fans rant about but I thought it wa just okay. Devil by the Tail, Struck Down, and Sound Of Dying are all worth the price of this isc alone. Listen to the breakdown in Struck Down with its Bass solo and guitar solos and youll be hitting repeat many times.

East Baton Rouge Mayor Protemp Mike Walker has played a number of roles in his life. One of his proudest was growing up on the farm with his grandparents who adopted and raised him in north Louisiana. Childhood was anything but simple for then Mike Hudson who was adopted a second time at the age of fourteen. It put Walker on course to Baton Rouge where he would later make his mark.
After serving twelve years on the parish council, Walker said he is ready to play a bigger part.
"You don't have to train me. All I need to do is walk across the hall from my office, to the mayor-president's office, sit down at that desk and say okay here's what we need to do.
If you ask Walker, there is plenty to do.
"Baton Rouge needs to get a grip on crime."
Walker said his favorite American actor John Wayne best represents his belief in an assertive form of government.
"I believe in making decision and making them now because in five minutes you're going to have another one to make."
Walker thinks solving crime could be made simpler and affordable by shaving ten percent off the budget.
"The chief has asked for 30 (detectives) in narcotics. You need 30 in narcotics immediately. The chief has asked for more street operations units, so you need another 20 or 30 at night and they bust butt."
Walker also believes a new mayor-president needs to be in the driver's seat to fight traffic.
"Until you get a mayor-president in who can go and visit with these people in a reasonable manner you're not going to get any cooperation out of the rest of the parishes around. So the loop is out as long as this mayor is in."
Because Walker believes leaving the lines of communication open is crucial, if elected, he said he plans to do a little redecorating.
"The first thing I plan to do is take that padlock off the front door in reception area and throw it away so you open up the people's office to the people.
That plan will be determined by voters on November 6, 2012.

Happy December!
Headed to Chicago for a Thanksgiving meal with the family, I thought I'd take advantage of the Windy City's version of the High Line. Arriving early, I got a section tour of the structure from The Trust for Public Land's Laura Uhlir. Half the height of the High Line (15 feet tall) and wider than 30 feet across in some places, Chicago's elevated railroad runs east-west, connecting various northwest neighborhoods (Bucktown, Wicker Park, Logan Square and Humboldt Park). Running 2.7 miles long, the Bloomingdale Trail is longer than the High Line, and includes 37 viaduct bridges over streets.
In 1998, the City of Chicago recognized the trail as a potential public space. Since then, City and community support for the project has grown, with the help of Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail. The group began in 2003, and four years later the Bloomingdale Trail Collaborative was formed out of an alliance between the Friends and the national organization Trust for Public Land, in partnership with the City.
James Corner, principal and founder of James Corner Field Operations, the High Line project lead, will lecture on his recent and current works at the Cooper Union on Wednesday, December 9th.
For someone who lives in Bayside, Queens, it's quite the feat to become one of our "High Line Regulars" – folks that come to enjoy the park on a regular basis, or in Clifton's case, nearly every single day! Huddled together in the Chelsea Market Passage on a breezy fall day, Clifton and I became acquainted over sips of hot chocolate.JB: How did you first hear of the High Line?
CC: I have lived in New York my whole life, and first knew the High Line from walking under it, coming to the Chelsea galleries. But my love affair began in 2005 when I was a part of the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, and their program for students was called 'Redesign the High Line'. Our idea, funny enough, was a park. Our group wasn't as outlandish as some of the other ones, but we wanted to bring back remnants of the old train line – bring old subway cars up and use them as cafés. I've been talking about it ever since. I love it.
Now through December 11th in the Chelsea Market Passage, you'll find Organicoa – organic, sustainably-grown, pure hot cocoa.
Founders Matthew Pek and Brett Nidel created Organicoa especially for the High Line. Each cup of Organicoa's hot cocoa is crafted with Dagoba cocoa beans (which are sourced through sustainable cacao farms), organic vegan cane sugar, and locally sourced organic milk. Their cups, lids, and sleeves are made from recycled and compostable materials.
We recommend grabbing a cup and enjoying it on the sundeck.
Follow the jump for a menu and more pictures.
On Friday the thirteenth, a group of planners, transportation experts, sociologists, and techies joined together for an intimate dialogue hosted by The Open Planning Project (TOPP) and the Regional Planning Association (RPA). Perched on top of 148 Lafayette, we gathered to discuss "New Technology for Participatory Planning". A series of "lightning talks" revolved around the potential of evolving technologies to simultaneously address planning challenges and open communication barriers.
The Open Planning Project acts as an advocate and resource for those who wish to understand the planning of cities around them. TOPP is about to launch a new community-based planning tool using open-source software, where those interested in planning can converge online.
Here's a nice one for the High Line's trophy case. Co-Founders Joshua David and Robert Hammond, along with architect Charles Renfro of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, were honored with inclusion in Out Magazine's annual Out 100, joining the likes of Pedro Almodovar, Wanda Sykes and Tony Kushner, among others.

We promise to feed you well at Big Blue Backyard. Forget cereal and toast: days here begin with indulgent chef-cooked breakfasts – featuring the freshest local produce – and end with romantic three-course dinners, served by candlelight. Pick from a choice of gourmet packages.
We don't go in for formal timings. Your long-tray breakfast – think champagne-poached pears, perfect eggs, cured meats and cheeses, homemade preserves, just-baked pastries and so on – can be brought to you any time after 9am, - as late as you like!
Dinner is served between 6pm and 9pm.
Since owner Paul is the one doing the cooking, you'll need to order dishes to share as a couple (but we promise you won't mind).
Lots of our ingredients are sourced from the brilliant Transition Farm, our local organic, biodynamic community share farm. The menu varies according to the season: relaxed, comforting food such as beef fillet with wild mushrooms and potatoes, fish stew with local yabbies and chocolate pudding with homemade ice-cream. What grows in our gardens decorates dishes, too: sea celery flourishing just steps from the waves, for example.
Of course, wine is important too. Let us pair your meal with the Mornington Peninsula's best wine…
