Masked gang rob Southampton family in their own home
3:55pm Monday 26th November 2012 in News By Jenny Makin, Deputy News Editor
A POLICE hunt is underway for a masked gang who threatened and robbed three generations of a family at their home.
The terrifying ordeal happened on Sunday evening while the five adults and two children were at home between 8.15pm and 8.40pm.
The family was confronted by three men who threatened them with violence and demanded they hand over money and jewellery.
During the incident a 32-year-old man was struck on the head and had to be treated by paramedics who were called to the scene once the thieves fled.
The three men are all said to have been white, but were using scarves to hide their faces.
They made off with a haul of goods including gold rings, a bracelet, a laptop, watch and mobile phones.
The family managed to raise the alarm with police who went to their address in Mountain Ash Close, Bitterne, before using sniffer dogs and officers from the force support unit to search the area.
Officers believe the suspects may have left in one or two vehicles – one which was dark and the other either silver or light blue.
Det Sgt Graeme Eaton said the robbery does not fit the pattern of other incidents in the city were high value gold Asian jewellery has been stolen.
He said; "Almost all of these cases occurred when houses were empty. This incident involved an entire family who were at home. It is possible the family was targeted for some unknown reason."
Detectives in Southampton are now urging anyone with information or who saw suspicious behaviour in the area last night to call CID on 101.

The article states that some high value jewelery was stolen, yet you are implying the raid was drugs related?
I'd suggest you show the family some compassion as they have obviously had a traumatic time.

Either way though, no one knows what the motives were so it is best not to make unfounded statements.
I believe that you have just made a libelous statement there, Guff.

What did a chariot race in ancient Egypt sound like? How might voices bounce around a pharaoh's palace? Does the parting of the Red Sea sound like a particularly turbulent day at the beach? And what about that voice of God?
These are just a few of the aural issues Lon Bender and Wylie Stateman, sound designers of DreamWorks Pictures' animated epic The Prince of Egypt, had to consider during the film's three-year production process. A lot is riding on the project, the studio's inaugural feature in the realm of traditional animation, gussied up with spectacular 3D effects. Executive producer Jeffrey Katzenberg wanted the soundtrack of this new telling of the Exodus story, which was released December 18, to be as rich and persuasive as the visuals.
"DreamWorks decided that the sound design was an integral part of the story development, and got Wylie and myself involved from the beginning," says Bender, who is partners with Stateman in Soundelux Entertainment Group. "Visual effects and sound effects were designed at the same time. We experimented heavily with a lot of different sections--the plague sequence, the Red Sea, a sequence where Moses has a nightmare that goes into hieroglyphs. We would use whatever visuals we had, whether living storyboards or animation later in the process, and prepare different approaches, and Jeffrey and the directors would come to my studio and go through them. There's a lot of great sounds on the editing room floor."
Sound design for an animated film is by definition far more complex than for most live-action movies. "Because it's all done in studios, there is no ambiance whatsoever," says Bender, who has designed sound for several animated films, including Disney's Mulan and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, as well as dozens of live-action projects, including the Oscar-winning Braveheart. "So we spent a lot energy on the movie's atmosphere. You have to pay attention to all the ambiances that would otherwise be recorded in production, which is complicated. But it's also more versatile, because there are not noisy production tracks to be concerned with--you can totally control the perspective of things."
Ambiance and perspective were crucial to The Prince of Egypt. "We were very specific about how the different locations reflected the frame of mind of the characters," Bender says. "When we were in the palace of Rameses, the sound was colder, particularly as time went on. When Moses finally realizes who he is, and goes off to the desert, the film visually depicts his changing relationship with nature, culminating in a huge sandstorm that sort of washes him clean from his past. From a sound standpoint, we did the same thing--we took the ambiance of the place he started, and built the size of nature as he evolved. We used more low frequencies to broaden the scope of the sound, and a lot of breath in transitions."
In keeping with the idea of the film as "a David Lean-style epic adventure movie," Bender says that "we used all organic recordings; nothing was made up on synthesizers." Soundelux goes into the field and records new material for every movie; for Prince of Egypt, Bender notes, "We found locations to record wind, horses, and all kinds of ambient stuff. Then we modified it with some of the wonderful tools provided by the ProTools company, like Waveframe to manipulate frequencies." The 30-odd Soundelux sound technicians who worked on the film also made use of such cutting-edge technology as the Harrison Series 12 mixing console, which stores four "virtual" levels.
"Then there are a lot of things created on the Foley stage, and in animation that's extremely important," the sound designer continues. "Every little footstep and articulation of the jewelry they're wearing is necessary to bring it to life. And in mixing, a lot of attention was paid to perspective." He adds that re-recording mixers Andy Nelson and Anna Behlmer, working at Todd-AO and the Twentieth Century Fox Studios, used different programs in the Lexicon 400 Echo System for natural spatial placement of sounds and echoes.
As in most animated films, music plays an important role in The Prince of Egypt. Composer Hans Zimmer and the sound designers worked closely together throughout production to "be very clear who was going to be in what frequency ranges at what time," says Bender. "There were many situations where the effects play something better, and many situations where we knew the music would be more successful from an emotional standpoint. We didn't waste a lot of time having both things vie for the audience's attention."
But what about those chariots? "Unlike most movies where chariots would be big, heavy rolling devices," says Bender, "these were really thin, made of bamboo and papyrus, because they didn't have what we think of as timber in this part of the world. Our goal was to make them sound very thin and rickety. The historical reference is extremely important; our job is to bring as much reality as we can to whatever movie it is."
And what about the voice of God, heard initially at the site of the famed burning bush? "It's not something I can really talk about," the sound designer demurs, explaining that the identity of the deity's enveloping voice was supposed to be hush-hush. Let's just say that Val Kilmer contributes the voice of Moses, and that echoes are a big part of the movie's soundtrack.

Saints PR Reggie Bush vs. Colts P Pat McAfee and Indy's punt-coverage team
Reggie Bush feels like many do about Sunday's game — if the Saints are to win, they will have a far better chance to do so with some success in the return game.
"All throughout the year, we've preached that we have to play well in all phases — not just offense and defense, but special teams, too," Bush said Tuesday. "If we want to be successful, if we want to have a fighting chance to win this game on Sunday, special teams has to be just as equally important as offense, as defense. Maybe even more than offense and defense, because we feel like with our special teams, that could be an advantage for us.
"If we're able to get our offense field position, whether it's (by) kick returns or punt returns, then that's a win for us. We have to play well, definitely on special teams, and make sure that we give our offense and defense a chance to be successful."
Bush actually had his worst pro season as a punt returner (not counting 2007, when he returned only three punts for a 4.0-yard average), averaging only 4.8 yards a whack, and he had a potentially costly fumble in the NFC championship game against the Vikings. (He was bailed out when the Saints recovered a fumble by the Vikings a few plays later.) But Bush represents perhaps the most dangerous returner in Super Bowl XLIV, perhaps the one guy who can change a game with a single touch.
He has shown more explosive moments in the playoffs and is facing a Colts special-teams unit that was in the middle of the pack during the regular season. If the Saints are lucky and effective defensively, Bush should get three or four real return chances in this game, along with a fair catch or two. The Colts have punted an average of five times in two playoff games, and the Saints have forced an average of five punts against the Cardinals and Vikings.
Rookie P Pat McAfee punted six times against the Ravens for a 45.8-yard gross average with one inside the 20-yard line, one touchback and two returns for zero yards. Against the Jets, McAfee had a 46.3-yard average with two inside the 20 and one returned for 12 yards. Six of those 10 punts were fair-caught. And during the regular season, only one opponent — the Patriots — was able to accumulate more than 37 punt-return yards in a game against him. That's damned good. Attribute it to great hang time and ball placement along the sideline.
Although Bush had three punt-return touchdowns in 2008, he has had only one this season, against the Cardinals in the divisional round of the playoffs. Moreover, he has had plenty of dud returns. Only two of his 27 regular-season returns netted 20-plus yards, and he often is tracked down for zero or negative yards, usually while trying to make something out of nothing.
It might be strange to think this, but Bush might be better-served trying to earn more eight- and 10-yard returns than going for the home run. The Saints' blocking was exceptional on the TD against the Cardinals, with a clear enough hole to drive a truck through. If he's patient in this game, there should be a chance to break one. But he must stick to what's blocked ahead of him and not freelance too much. The Colts might not be spectacular on punt coverage, but they are fairly disciplined.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill -- The Illinois General Assembly returns to Springfield Tuesday for the annual veto session and there's a lot the House and Senate may consider.
However, there's a pretty good chance some issues won't be taken up until January.
The big issue for the General Assembly to consider is Pension reform. Now, talks are taking place behind the scenes to work out that deal which would cut the state's liability but not hurt retirees.
"I would like to see something that would not penalize people who are not getting that much in their pensions," said Representative Dave Leitch, (R)73rd District.
"There are those at the bottom end of the system that need to be protected. So let's do it," said Senator Dave Koehler, (D) 46th District.
"I think there are reasonable solutions out there, like increasing the retirement age from 50 or 55 to 65, 67, capping the amount anyone can make, like legislators or anyone is the system," said Senator Darin LaHood, (R) 37th District.
"I do believe the pension conversations will take place quietly in Springfield over the next several days, with some understanding coming around a consensus bill," said Representative Jehann Gordon, (D) 92nd District.
However, the expectation is that work on the Pension bill won't likely happen until January and the lame duck session.
"When the speaker added five more days to what's called the Lame Duck session certainly leads one to believe that action will be taken on the Pension bill at that time," said Representative Dan Brady, (R) 88th District.
And that's not all that may wait until January in Springfield.
"I would anticipate that gambling expansion will wait until January, but I will continue to oppose it," said Representative Keith Sommer, (R) 106th District.
"If we had a nine billion dollar surplus instead of a nine billion dollar deficit, we wouldn't be looking at a massive expansion of gambling," said Senator LaHood.
Powerful house speaker Mike Madigan, who up until now has stayed out of gambling expansion, is reported to be one of the group working behind the scenes to come up with a bill agreeable to downstate and Chicago.
One thing which is likely to be taken up is the Governor's budget cuts to the Department of Corrections budget. In his plan to close two prisons, Pat Quinn cut $55 million from the Corrections budget. The legislature could return that money to the budget.
There's a feeling among many legislators and observers that closed door dealings on expanding gambling and pension reform may come in the "lame duck" session in January before the new General Assembly is sworn in.
"My strong belief is that most of the controversial issues will be put off until January and the Lame Duck session," said Rep. Leitch.
Action on the transfer of Wildlife Prairie State Park and an override of the Governor's Budget Cuts to Corrections could take place in December.

Real Joy, Right Now
Step Two: Investigate Your Discontent
Feelings of dissatisfaction—no matter how much you'd like to lose them—should not be dismissed lightly. Any feeling of discontent contains a message, a built-in wake-up call. When you feel truly discontent, it's almost always because you're out of touch with your most authentic self and with the desires that come from your heart's core. To achieve lasting contentment, you must be willing to examine your own feelings of dissatisfaction, to trace them to their source.
It seems paradoxical that the journey toward contentment could start with giving yourself permission not to be content. But you don't change your state by resisting or running away from it any more than you get rid of unfulfilled desires just by telling yourself to give them up. To move on, you must first let yourself be fully where you are in this moment—even if where you are is frustrated, out of sorts, insecure, scared, and full of dissatisfaction, thwarted ambition, or anxiety. Usually, most people are afraid to do this, imagining that they'll end up wallowing in misery. But accepting your situation is very different from giving into self-pity. Unlike wallowing, this inner acceptance lets you relax the inner muscle that keeps trying to control the uncontrollable, and frees you from the terrible stress of feeling that you have to pretend everything is OK when you know it isn't, even if you can't say why.
To start the process, close your eyes and focus on your breath. Let the breath be an anchor you use to keep yourself steady as you begin to ride the waves of your feelings. Now think of something that brings up your feeling of dissatisfaction or discontent, of wanting something you can't have. Notice how it feels; see if you can find the tendrils of your own discontent in your mind, in your body. If you like, you can begin to ask yourself questions about your discontent: "What's behind that feeling of frustration? What's inside the sadness? What lies beneath the fear?" Observe what arises, simultaneously focusing on the breath. Don't expect that this exercise will have you smiling and cheerful in a moment. But you'll probably notice after a while that your feelings aren't static. They shift and change all by themselves, because that is the nature of feelings. Your discontent is not intractable.!--page-->

Three-Quarter-Sleeve Lace Panel Tee 42 42
bought it in balck had been eyeing this top for some time. all that was left was the large...and i am not....got it anyway......it fits in a slouch way...bra straps showing....i will wear it a lot!! June 3, 2014
Beautiful Top Went with the pearl and couldn't be happier. I wore it for Christmas and got a lot of compliments. I was worried what it would like after I washed it, but it came out just fine. Nice top that can be worn with jeans or slacks. February 5, 2014
Soft and pretty Purchased both the peacock & pearl colors in this top...plan on wearing it with jeans and skirts. The material is very soft, being that it contains modal, you would expect this. I LOVE anything with the modal fabric! It gives clothing a nice drapability. The lace panel makes the top so versatile; you can dress it up or down. I can't wait to be able to wear it when the weather turns warmer! January 29, 2014
Shirt fit well and was comfortable. I almost snagged the lace a few times the first day I wore it, so hopefully I don't tear it during future wears. A good buy at the sale price.I wear a DDD and the XL fit perfect, without feeling like it was a tent or pulling in the back, but it may run large for smaller gals. January 18, 2014
cute and comfortable I did not think this tee felt cheap or poorly made. The tee-shirt material is thin, but feels soft and of good quality. As another reviewer said, be prepared to be careful, the lace panel would be easy to snag on jewelry. January 14, 2014
almost a hit The lace tee was soft ,a beautiful color of blue, and flattering on, however the stitching around the neck was flawed. The lace was not stitched down correctly. I returned it for another, but had to send it back also for the same reason. January 13, 2014

CNN Caller: Where's Your Report On Black Panther Voter Intimidation in Philly?
A man called in to CNN's Helpline on Tuesday wondering why the network hasn't reported the Black Panthers who were seen standing in front of a Philadelphia polling station this morning, one of them carrying a billy club.
According to the caller (audio available here), he was going to vote for Obama until a friend told him about this incident. The caller said, "Now Fox has broadcast this, and I want to know why CNN has not broadcast this yet."
Adding to the story, a group representing Election Journal just posted a video at YouTube of Black Panthers in front of a polling station at 1221 Fairmount in Philadelphia (video embedded below the fold):
Scary stuff to say the least...but will media report it? Stay tuned.

Courses in financial management introduced to help students
With the support from the new Center for Entrepreneurship, Lake Erie College now provides all students with credit courses in financial literacy and personal investing. Two new courses are being offered to help students manage their personal finances and invest in their futures.
Financial Literacy for Life and Investing in your Future I and II are the two new courses being offered. Assistant professor of accounting, Julie Ziemak, and associate professor of business administration, M. Rabiul Hasan, Ph.D., will be teaching the new courses.
Financial Literacy for Life is a course that will challenge students to analyze what has worked financially for past generations and why it might not work for current and future generations, given our current economy. The course focuses on teaching students how to become better spenders, savers and wise users of credit. The difference between assets and liabilities and how the wealthy invest in assets and either avoid liabilities or find ways of having others pay for them is also discussed. Additional topics include the importance of personal budgeting, the dangers of debt accumulation and an introduction to different retirement savings and investment options.
"I believe it is critical in today's economy to understand investing. Many people are living 20 or 30 years after retirement," said Ziemak. "With traditional pension plans almost gone, the future of social security is very uncertain. Defined Contribution Plans like 401(k) and 403(b) plans have turned many American workers into investors and most American workers are not prepared for this role," she added.
Investing in your Future will teach students how to research, analyze and determine when it is the right time to purchase stocks and which stocks to purchase. The students in the course will be investing real money and will have to decide which stocks provide the probability of earning the greatest return.

Created as part of the Microscopic Masterpieces class, third-grade students at the in Ellisville worked as authentic scientists and mathematicians to create artwork of enlarged insect parts. They sought accuracy during each stage of the process for the purpose of relaying correct information to their audience, according to Rockwood materials.
CCL Teacher Sharon Smith said the students began by researching insects and studying their tiniest parts, according to a Rockwood news release.
"What amazed me was the perseverance of these students," said Smith in the release.
Students from throughout Rockwood attend the CCL gifted education program.
Chris Hartley, entomologist and coordinator of education programs at the Butterfly House, visited this third grade class to discuss the importance of accuracy when drawing insects.
In addition, Ken Brown, Ph.D., Rockwood parent and product development specialist for BASF Pest Control Solutions, shared his insect spreading boards, and his personally drawn insect enlargements with students.
The students then selected their insect parts from computer images. Students chose a variety of wings, abdomens, antennae, heads and thoraxes to enlarge. After learning and practicing the mathematical design process of drawing to scale, they created their own grids, drew fluent lines, implemented proper shading, constructively critiqued each other's work and modified their pieces when necessary.
Smith said students kept reflection journals to document their accomplishments as well as their struggles during the process.
"The time, patience and determination to replicate each detail was inspirational. The students learned so much about insects and so much about themselves through this process, and they are excited to share their work with the community," she said.

Sunday, August 30, 2009
Especially lately since I've been really trying to use this day to focus in more on what's most important.
Today I substituted in the Sunbeam class at church.
I almost cried twice during singing time because of how cute those songs are. Especially those two new ones about families. I'm so thankful for our church and the values it teaches our kids. SO thankful. I can teach my kids about making good decisions and choosing the right 'til I'm blue in the face. And yes, I'm sure most of it soaks in and makes a difference. But how amazing is it that we have all these other outside sources helping to ingrain the good stuff into their minds?
Tonight we made pumpkin muffins (see recipe here) to celebrate that it's September this week and that, to us, means it's kind of Fall. We are kind of hoping deep down that September will mean it will just maybe stay under 115 degrees...just maybe.
And we laughed 'til our guts hurt watching Lu do the hoedown with her sisters. Oh my word, Lucy's future self is going to KILL me for publishing this, but I can't help it.

OCEANSIDE, Calif.—A golfer from La Jolla Country Day High School earned the Junior Player of the Year award and will compete at the Farmers Insurance Open later this month.
Anthony Paolucci stands 6-feet, 2-inches tall, but when it comes to golf, the 18-year-old stands head and shoulders above all other juniors.
"That was one of my goals starting the year," Paolucci said after a recent practice session in Oceanside. "It crossed my mind previous years that it would be really great award to win."
Anthony said he started golfing at 18 months when his parents gave him his first set of plastic clubs. He graduated to a set of sawed-off clubs at age five and by age 12, he won his first big event - the Future Masters tournament.
The Paolucci family moved to Rancho Santa Fe in September of 2009 and soon thereafter, Anthony started training at the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside under Dave Phillips.
"Anthony's an exceptional young man," Phillips said. "He's intelligent. He understands what it takes to be good. He's not afraid to practice and try to do different things but he doesn't get caught up in trying to have the perfect golf swing or the next great thing that comes out in a golf magazine. He understands that he's an individual, and that's very rare at his age. A lot of young kids I deal with, they're constantly looking at the best players in the world and trying to be them. What I'm trying to make is Anthony."
To improve his game, Anthony does a lot more than just hitting golf balls. He also goes through rigorous workouts with his strength trainer Milo. One of the workouts includes pushing his car while Milo rides inside.
"The workouts get pretty intense," Paolucci said. "A lot of times we'll have people watching us work out and they'll come up to me and say, 'Oh, so you're training for football?' I was like, 'No, this is golf.'"
Anthony has an entire support staff working with him at the TPI: a golf coach, strength coach, chiropractor, and sports psychologist.
To retain his amateur status, Anthony's parents have to pay for all these services. In return, Anthony earned a scholarship to USC and a sponsor's exemption to the Farmers Insurance Open starting January 27 at Torrey Pines Golf Course. His goal is to join the PGA Tour full-time.
"I'm very fortunate," Paolucci said. "If it wasn't for (my parents), I wouldn't have done the things I have done and be in the situation here. I thank them every day, especially the move out to California here to be able to work with these guys and be able to work out at a facility like this."

A lot of people are on edge after a rash of burglaries in Thomasville.
Police added three more burglary cases Wednesday, on top of more than 40 recent unsolved break-ins they were already investigating.
And one woman says she plans to ramp up her own home security.
Armed robberies, entering autos, burglaries.
"It's scary."
What were once few and far between are now every day occurrences in Thomasville.
"It's happening more and more in Thomasville. It's something you used to not here about and now you hear about it every day and this one is right next door so it has really got my attention," said Thomasville Resident Janet Johnson.
"Things have changed. Criminals have changed their way of thinking. There was a time when you didn't have to lock your door and you didn't have to secure your vehicle, but now we are seeing a lot burglaries, a lot of entering autos. So we recommend lock your doors and secure your vehicles," said Lt. Eric Hampton.
A house on Reid Street in Thomasville was one of three broken into last night.
Next door neighbor Janet Johnson says it's a wake up call. "I'm going to secure my home and my property because I have kids and you know I just don't want people coming in taking what they want or hurting anybody. Either one. I'm hoping the police can catch who did this because it is getting crazy."
While investigating a burglary at a house on Cannon Street, officers found evidence of someone inhabiting a shed next to the house.
"We are not sure if these people are homeless or if they are just entering the residence and kind of making themselves at home. That's something we have not been able to find out at this point. I'm sure we will find that out once we develop a suspect," said Hampton.
Investigators want to remind to folks to secure their homes and their vehicles because in some of these cases, the doors were unlocked.
A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of any burglary suspect.
If you know anything, call Thomasville Crime Stoppers 227-3305.

Earlier this month, Bob Sardilli passed away. He coached Little League baseball in Forestville in the '70s.
Without knowing it at the time, he had a profound effect on my life toward the end of that decade. It was after my Little League career had ended and I was the scorekeeper for the opposing team.
I captured the story many years later as an assignment for a college writing course. While the years in between may have very well blurred some of the specifics, the lessons learned are crystal clear.
So in honor of Coach Sardilli, here is The Last At Bat, as written 25 years ago:
I can still remember the first time I saw him step to the plate. He walked as though a thousand seasons had taken their toll on his fragile body.
His swing was weak, more like a swat, and when the bat and ball met, the sound was barely audible. He tried to beat out the ground ball but could not. As he walked back to the dugout, there were tears in many of the fan's eyes.
As I wondered what the standing ovation was about, I overheard a woman mention that this would be his last at bat.
I could see a smile come to the player's narrow face from my spot in the opposing dugout. I put down my score pad and began to clap.
This is about a baseball player and a coach. They never made it to the Hall of Fame or earned a million dollars a year. They didn't make it to the big leagues.
That was the last time Craig came to bat in Little League or any other league. You see, Craig was dying of cancer. Dirty, rotten, filthy cancer. And his eleven-year-old body was being taken from him — slowly and painfully.
His coach didn't care about winning that game. It was the furthest thing from his mind. He only wanted to let a kid be a kid for the last time. I knew I had just witnessed something beyond special.
It was later that summer that I saw Craig again. I had broken my arm and was at the hospital recovering from surgery. I noticed a very thin boy, almost bald, walking very slowly with his father. Later, I saw him again playing checkers and laughing with his doctor.
A few months later he would be dead. I remember seeing it in the paper because I recall noting his birthday, December 31, the same as mine.
That was about eight or nine years ago. And although I never spoke to him face-to-face, I feel as though I knew him.
I will always remember that last at bat. I'll remember the boy who fought cancer with a smile as big as the outfield.
And I'll remember the coach who knew that fulfilling a boy's need to be a ball player for just one more day was more important than winning a baseball game.
Often our everyday lives get in the way of reaching out to someone and thanking them for the wonderful, lasting impression that they left on us. And we wait until it's too late.
Well as luck, or fate, would have it, I saw Mr. Sardilli again about 12 years ago. There was a gathering at the Forestville Little League Complex to celebrate the '76 All-Stars, a team that one of his sons played on and that he had helped coach to a sixth-place finish in the LL World Series.
I'd arrived late and he was about to leave when I went up and introduced myself. He remembered me as he did my dad, whom he'd coached against.
I told him how long I had wanted to tell him the story of that last at bat and how it had helped to shape my thoughts regarding life and youth sports.
I could tell how much he appreciated it as we hugged and both had tears in our eyes. We shook hands and both left. I didn't need to see anyone else.
I hope if there are baseball teams in Heaven, Mr. Sardilli will get to coach Craig again. This time maybe Craig rips a home run to deep left, circles third, and leaps into the arms of his old coach waiting for him at home plate.
I also hope that somehow they both know the impact that they had on one man's life. I hope I can do enough to make them both proud.

good kid m.a.a.d. city (The Game, What if?)
So, I promise this is not YouTube spam. But, how legal do you think it would be for Kendrick Lamar to make a m.a.a.d. city game? Ala GTA, but really fucking ghetto. I dunno how violent it would not have to be. Apparently in the album, he rides around in his mom's minivan, and helps steal from some house.
So! What if they were to make a GTA-ish homage, or even something closer to Hotline Miami to cut down on the budget. But.. I mean do y'all wanna see that? Like, do you like the fish-out-of-water story, or do just like to run around and cause havoc in those games, and don't really care about story.
I mean realistically, could any type of m.a.a.d. city game, actually come out? Or is the reality that its too close to drugs, violence, and straight robbin', too much to even get anywhere past the FCC. Are GTA and Saint's Row, the only things that can be peeved as legal and distributable-product BECAUSE they're so outlandish? It always seemed that Niko only helped steal, because he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
I dunno, I mean, they Could have sections and stuff. GTA Chinatown Wars, has drug hustling all over the city. They could have: sneaking through a warehouse. Acting cool at a stoplight, a swimming pool section, a acting cool with Sherane section? A Master Splinter section!.. I could think of a bunch of stuff, that wouldn't have to cost too much to justify any length and shit like that. Mm.
I dunno, let me know if you know any indie games, that are almost similar to this idea.

Clitheroe young farmers group celebrates 70th birthday
10:30pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News
YOUNG farmers in Clitheroe are preparing to celebrate their 70th anniversary.
The 140-member group will host a dinner dance to mark the occasion at Mytton Fold Hotel, on April 25.
Around 300 members from the past 70 years of the club will gather at the Ribble Valley hotel to celebrate.
Former National Federation of Young Farmers president Lionel Hill will be guest speaker.
Richard Whitwell, club chairman, said: "It's a fantastic achievement for the club to have been around for 70 years and I really hope that it's around in another 70 years.
"It's one of the best youth organisations going and it really sets you up for adult life. The range of activities, such as debating, gives you a whole range of skills.
"Everyone is looking forward to the big night and it will be great to mark it with former members from throughout the club's history."
The 25-year-old former Clitheroe Royal Grammar School pupil, who lives in Simonstone, is part of a five-strong organising committee for the celebration night.
Meanwhile, the Lancashire Federation of Young Farmers will celebrate their 76th year on Saturday, February 1 at Ferraris Country House in Thornley, Longridge.
County chairman Jess Townson said: "It is wonderful to see so many members keen to be involved within the federation and to come together to celebrate our success.
"Young Farmers is an excellent organisation to encourage members, aged 10 to 26, to come together and learn some excellent skills, which can be put to use in all manners of social and working life."

At CSM Hit Piece, Former Biden Economist Calls Perry 'Keynesian,' Errs in Using BLS Data
The Christian Science Monitor appears to have a problem monitoring its bloggers. Even though it asserts that its "diverse group of the best economy-related bloggers out there ... (have) responsibility for the content of their blogs," the largely respected CSM should understand that Jared Bernstein has just embarrassed it bigtime.
To its credit, CSM describes Bernstein, currently a senior fellow at the very liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (Director emeritus: Marian Wright Edelman), as a Biden/Democrat hack: "Jared was chief economist to Vice President Joseph Biden and executive director of the White House Task Force on the Middle Class." But unless CSM wants to be seen as a place like the Huffington Post, where it seems that anyone can throw up anything regardless of its truthfulness (I'm talking to you, Sam Stein), it needs to at least fact-check info with an obvious surface stench -- and I could smell the acrid aroma from Bernstein's item here in Ohio. His woeful Wednesday post goes beyond predictable cherry-picking into the realm of flat-out errors.
Here is the graph Bernstein employs to supposedly prove his contention that "Texas and the government are chummier than you'd think" (included for fair use, discussion and humiliation purposes):
Bernstein claims that the graph portrays "the net number of private and public sector jobs lost and gained in Texas from 2007 to 2010," meaning that he purports it to show what happened between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2010.
It doesn't, as these partial charts from the Bureau of Labor Statistics will show:
Incredibly, especially for an economist, Bernstein used the annual averages for 2007 and 2010 as his comparison points instead of going from the end of 2006 to the end of 2010 to pick up what happened during the entire four-year period he told readers he was presenting. Readers can see that the actual results differ significantly when compared to Jared's Junk, specifically: 214,000 total jobs gained instead of 53,000 lost; 73,000 private sector gains instead of 178,000 losses; and 141,000 government job gains instead of 125,000
If Jared Bernstein is one of "the best economy-related bloggers out there," I'm Milton Friedman. Let's look at what has happened during two more logical benchmarking points: the three years ended June 2011, which includes the recession as normal people define it plus the subsequent two years, and the two years also ended June 2011, focusing on the period of "recovery" alone (all figures are not seasonally adjusted, consistent with the tables Bernstein used):
Three years ended June 2011:
USA: -6,086K total jobs lost, consisting of -5,674K in the private sector and -412K in the public sector
Texas: -33K total jobs lost, consisting of -120K in the private sector and +87K in the public sector
Two years ended June 2011:
USA: +709K total jobs gained, consisting of +1,188K in the private sector and -479K in the public sector
Texas: +302K total jobs gained, consisting of +263K in the private sector and +39K in the public sector
The data is subject to revision (new state info will be released on Friday morning), but I would expect that such revisions won't significantly affect the overall results. Clearly, the past two and three years have been better in Texas than in the rest of the country. The increases in Lone Star State public sector employment are roughly proportional to the state's increased overall population in each instance cited in this post. Further investigation would be needed, but it may be that local governments in Texas have been able to avoid firing thousands of public employees because their pay and benefits packages are not ridiculously out of whack with what is seen in the private sector, as is definitely the case here in Ohio.
There are other points I could make about Bernstein's underlying article, which is a series of barely disguised childish taunts. But why bother? The underlying data he used is so obviously wrong, doing so would be a waste of time.
Instead of engaging in erroneous cherry-picking, Jared Bernstein should be on his knees every night thanking God for Texas. Imagine how awful the nation's economic stats would be without the Lone Star State's positive contributions.

I once saw a discussion of supply side economics that moved the window of Reagan's eight years in office back to include the last three years of Carter's adminstration to reduce the average growth rate of the "Reagan years" but if you didn't read the foot notes at the end you would not know.

But even using your data it appears that 2/3 of the jobs created in Texas over the past few years were government jobs which does have a Keynes taint and does downplay Perry's job creating credentials.

NOH8 is a photo campaign that was started in response to the passage of Proposition 8 in California back in 2008. Prop 8 is a ban on same-sex marriages, and it pissed off a lot of same-sex couples and famous people who know same-sex couples and just people in general who think you shouldn't be denied rights just for being yourself.
Photographer Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley started taking pictures of people, famous and not, who don't like Prop 8 — and they're still doing it today. Literally, today — there is a photo shoot in Lexington, Kentucky happening within hours of this post going live, and another in Indianapolis tomorrow. We know this from visiting the NOH8 Facebook page and the official NOH8 site.
Adam Bouska is a really talented photographer who creates super-clean images that are also pretty sexy.
There are literally several thousand pictures on the NOH8 site, and we combed through just about all of them to find these 50. Some of these are famous actresses and models, others are reality stars from shows we try to avoid. And a few are unnamed, just pretty faces with sweet cleavage or attractive lesbian couples. Who has the all-time sexiest NOH8 picture? Well that's up to you to decide.
Actually, it's not. The winner is clearly Candace Smith — hands down! No, seriously, dude in the picture, put your hands down. In fact, just move it along, you're probably a decent guy but you're not necessary here.
(Ok, so we have a thing for Candace Smith, can you blame us?)

As one team insider said this week, the Saints' still-unsettled contract situation for suspended head coach Sean Payton is best described as a mess.
The Saints have made an attempt to quash the growing uncertainty about the future of the only head coach to lead the franchise to a Super Bowl — GM Mickey Loomis told reporters Tuesday that he "absolutely" expects Payton to be the Saints' head coach next season and going forward, even though Payton is in line to become a free agent when his suspension ends after the Super Bowl.
However, our sources say there are no indications that the team or Payton has made any urgent push to arrive at a solution since it was brought to light in the past week that the contract extension Payton signed in September 2011 had been disapproved by the NFL.
The Saints are said to be waiting to receive written confirmation from the NFL that they are allowed to negotiate with Payton. There have been reports, though, that the team has permission to negotiate a contract with Payton even though he is suspended. It is unclear as to why there would be any delay in getting the Saints the written confirmation they apparently are seeking, but they do, in effect, have exclusive negotiating rights with Payton for about the next three months.

What is the treatment for tennis elbow?
Comment on this
The most important part of treatment is resting the elbow by avoiding repetitive movements that aggravate the tendon strain. Certain elbow braces are commonly used during activities. A tennis elbow strap is a band that wraps around the forearm just below the elbow and is used for the healing stages during activities and as a prevention technique after healing. A wrist brace that prevents wrist extension can be helpful in resting the elbow, as the tendons that extend the wrist are those injured in tennis elbow.
Prescription or over-the-counter NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are commonly prescribed. These should be taken with food to minimize stomach irritation. Physical therapy is a standard part of treatment for tennis elbow. Improper tennis-stroke mechanics often contribute to injury in tennis players, and correcting the improper technique is critical to being able to return to the sport. Local steroid injections may be used for pain control, but they do not heal the injury, and symptoms generally recur if other interventions are not used. Surgery is not usually necessary but can be performed in severe situations if other treatments, including physical therapy, are ineffective.
Are there any home remedies for tennis elbow?
Home remedies for tennis elbow include resting the elbow by avoiding movements that aggravate the pain. Elbow braces (tennis elbow bands) may be helpful to reduce the stress on the elbow. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen sodium (Aleve) help decrease inflammation in the tendons and decrease pain. Applying ice packs regularly, such as 20 minutes two or three times daily, also reduces inflammation and pain.

Duke's Ryan Kelly returned from injury in as dramatic a way as possible Saturday. The 6-11 senior scored 36 in his return, far surpassing his career high, and the No. 3 Duke Blue Devils won 79-76 in a thrilling game against the No. 5 Miami Hurricanes.
Kelly was sidelined with an ankle injury and had not played since Jan. 8 against the Clemson Tigers. He was spectacular Saturday, finishing 10-of-14 from the floor and 9-of-12 from the free-throw line. His previous career high was 23, which he scored last season agains the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. He also had seven rebounds Saturday.
Kenny Kadji's performance kept the Hurricanes afloat Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium while Kelly electrified his home court. Kadji finished with 17 points and 10 rebounds.
The win prevented Miami from claiming its first-ever outright ACC regular-season title. The Hurricanes have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament. The only time the Hurricanes have ever won at least a share of a regular-season conference title was when they shared the 2000 Big East championship with the Syracuse Orange.
Miami coach Jim Larranaga is now 2-1 against Duke.

On this cruise we were advised that the crew of 900 were from 57 different countries with the Philippines being the highest provider of staff.
The food was very good and varied in the Freestyle dining rooms and buffet restaurants. There were also a number of speciality restaurants including French, Italian and a Steak House. All staff were very pleasant and willing to please.
The entertainment has improved significantly since our last experience of NCL cruises and the acts were very varied and enjoyable. The entertainments team worked very hard from morning till night and their role was significant in ensuring the cruise was enjoyable.
Prices on board were a little high for certain items. A bottle of house wine was $22 plus an auto gratuity of 18%. The Photos studio took the opportunity to catch you everywhere but their prices were unrealistic for example a basic photo was $12.95 with a portrait rising to $19.95. All drinks were subject to an auto gratuity so half a litre of beer cost around $6.84 (incl gratuity). The basic price of the cruise is well worth the money however I felt that the daily charge per person of $12.00 to cover crew tips was excessive and it would be better if it was included in the price of the cruise as you could opt out of paying this daily charge, shown on your bill as a Service Charge. If you opted out obviously some of the crew were going to get a smaller gratuity!!.
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable cruise with some very interesting ports of call.
At all ports visited there were a number of other cruise ships visiting at the same time.

Fifty Shades of Grey annoyed me from page one. (If you plan on reading this, by the way, and plan on enjoying it, you might not want to read this.) I just knew this was a writing style that gets under my skin. I despised the main character. I also abhorred her suitor, Mr. Grey, partly because he liked her in the first place.
Anastasia Steele (what kind of name is that, seriously?) bites her lip a lot. If Ana wasn't biting her lip, she was delivering some line out loud or in her head along the lines of "Holy crap!" or "Holy Cow!" or "Jeez!" Her favorites were some form of crap, "Holy crap," "Double crap," or the crap of all craps, "Triple crap!"
Aside from the atrocious dialogue, there is Ana's inner monologue which goes back and forth between her "inner goddess" and "subconscious," as she calls them. I wanted to scream when either of these was mentioned. This while book is nothing but dreadful, dull repetition. Characters are constantly whispering, mumbling, murmuring, grinning, frowning, arching an eyebrow, cocking their head to one side – it's as if the author threw a few mannerisms in a bowl and picked one every time she needed one. She also repeats the same phrases throughout the book…on the same page, even. Then she randomly throws in a high-level SAT vocabulary word maybe from her Word of the Day calendar, which just looks ridiculous.
This author is also British, which makes for some awkward phrasing, since she apparently had no editor to guide her whatsoever. In America we don't "go on holiday," "carry a smart rucksack," or "go to the cinema." We go on vacation. We go the movies. So many of these throughout the book.
Now to get to the plot. I know this is a small-town conservative paper so I can't get too in-depth here. I really don't have to. The…ahem…"erotic" scenes really did nothing for me.
What concerns me is that even though I know the main demographics here are "housewives" my age and older, younger women do read it. And I feel that this book does nothing more than glorify physical abuse and dress it up in a slinky number, calling it "sexy." It is not sexy. I've been involved in abusive relationships. Nothing sexy about that at all. Ana also drinks Twinings English Breakfast tea throughout the book. This book made me want to hate tea and this is crazy, because I love tea.
If I were E. L. James I'd have also refrained from putting my name next to this book. She is truly the Ke$ha of literature. I understand I'm a literature major and I wasn't expecting a masterpiece. I just wasn't expecting this giant steaming pile of you know what in every way possible. It was a challenge to finish. I threw it across the room more than once. I'm sorry if you loved it. I wanted to, I did. I just didn't.

The third annual Alabama State
University Coaches Caravan hits the road beginning in Mobile Thursday.
The caravan, in its third year aimed at promoting and
increasing awareness of Hornet Athletics, will make stops in seven cities
beginning tomorrow in Mobile and Friday in Tuscaloosa.
Saturday, the tour will make a morning stop in Columbus,
Ga. and a late afternoon stop in Atlanta, Ga.
The Birmingham tour stop will occur Monday, July 15, prior
to the Tuesday July 16 visit in Dothan. The caravan will conclude in Montgomery
on Wednesday, July 31.
Alabama State acting athletic director Melvin Hines, head
football coach Reggie Barlow and head men's basketball coach Lewis Jackson will
lead the Tour Team.
The Alabama State Coaches Caravan will reflect on the
2012-13 athletic year, another stellar campaign in the classroom and in
competition, and look ahead to the upcoming campaign, highlighted by the first
full home football season in The New ASU Stadium.
Hornet student-athletes again excelled academically. More
than 170 ASU athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA during Fall 2012, with another
160 earning at least a 3.0 GPA this past spring. In the fall, 23 achieved 4.0
GPAs, while 30 achieved a perfect GPA in the spring.
This season, Alabama State University claimed the women's
All-Sports Trophy as the best all-around women's sports program in the
Southwestern Athletic Conference. It was the first time Alabama State has
earned the award in the women's all-sport competition. ASU finished third in
the men's all-sport standings, and that combination helped to give Alabama
State its third consecutive runner-up finish in the overall SWAC Commissioner's
Cup Standings.
Highlighting the in-season competition was the women's track
program's second consecutive "Triple Crown", earning SWAC championships in
Cross Country, Indoor Track and Outdoor Track. It was the second straight
league title in cross country, the fifth consecutive title in indoor track, and
the fourth consecutive outdoor track championship. Both the women's and men's
golf programs won SWAC Championships this spring, earning NCAA Tournament
appearances. The women's team earned its second SWAC title in three years,
while the men's team won its second consecutive league title.

Broadway's Glengarry Glen Ross Office Will Include David Harbour, Richard Schiff, Jeremy Shamos
By Kenneth Jones
David Harbour, Richard Schiff and Jeremy Shamos will be in the company of the previously announced Al Pacino and Bobby Cannavale in the new Broadway production of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross, producers announced on July 19.
Tony Award-winning director Daniel Sullivan (The Columnist, The Merchant of Venice, Time Stands Still, Proof) directs the darkly comic Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about sharks in a real estate office. Previews begin on Oct. 16 prior to an official opening of Nov. 11 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
Harbour, playing John Williamson, is a Tony Award nominee for the 2005 revival of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and appeared with Pacino in The Merchant of Venice; Schiff, who won an Emmy Award for playing Toby Zeigler on the hit TV series "The West Wing," will make his Broadway debut playing George Aaronow; Shamos, a 2012 Tony nominee for Clybourne Park, will play James Lingk. As mentioned, Academy Award winner Al Pacino ("Scent of a Woman") will play Shelly Levene, and Tony and Emmy nominee Cannavale (The Motherfucker With the Hat, Mauritius, "Nurse Jackie") will play Richard "Ricky" Roma.
Here's how the play is billed: "The stakes are high at a fly-by-night Chicago real estate office: 1st prize — a new Cadillac, 2nd prize — a set of steak knives, 3rd prize — you're fired! Glengarry Glen Ross slices to the core of the American dream and exposes the depths people will go to stay on top of the game. Mamet himself worked in a real estate office in Chicago in 1969 setting up appointments for salesmen, and the play is influenced by the cutthroat politics he encountered."
The creative team includes set designer Eugene Lee (A Streetcar Named Desire, The Homecoming, Wicked), costume designer Jess Goldstein (Newsies, The Rivals, The Merchant of Venice) and lighting designer James F. Ingalls (The People in the Picture, The Elephant Man, 'night Mother).
Glengarry Glen Ross will be produced by Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, and Jam Theatricals, who produced the 2005 Tony Award-winning revival and subsequently worked with Mamet, producing November, Speed-The-Plow, A Life in The Theatre and Race. Richards and Frankel will be producing the Mamet's new play, The Anarchist, this fall on Broadway.
Pacino played salesman Roma in a film version of Glengarry. Pacino earned an Academy Award nomination for playing the fierce Roma. The drama has had two earlier lives on Broadway (in 1984 and 2005).
The drama known for its rapid-fire dialogue and profane language was first produced on Broadway in 1984 under the direction of Gregory Mosher following London and Chicago runs. The drama was later adapted by Mamet for the 1992 film starring Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris and Kevin Spacey. (Pacino won his Best Actor Oscar in 1993, for "Scent of a Woman," in the same year he was nominated for the "Glengarry" film supporting role.)
