Wide receiver is not the Carolina Panthers most pressing need, but it could be when it comes to looking at the best player available. All of a sudden two receivers come into focus with the 14th overall pick. In 2011 there was A.J. Green and Julio Jones -- in 2013 there's Keenan Allen and Cordarrelle Patterson. Neither is as highly skilled as Green or Jones, but one analyst thinks that one of these receivers is a 'sensible fit' for the Carolina Panthers.
A large write up by Evan Silva of Rotoworld could have you believe Cordarrelle Patterson is the most talented receiver in the draft, and a future star. Described as a 'natural playmaker' his NFL comparisons are Dez Bryant and Julio Jones, with the latter perhaps being more apt. The 6-3, 205-pound receiver was Tennessee's playmaker when everyone expected Justin Hunter to assume the role. Averaging 16.9 yards per reception, Patterson showed the kind of big-play potential that NFL teams crave.
The tape supports this kind of natural ability, as pointed out by Silva:
Cordarrelle Patterson is a freak. There were times he looked genuinely un-tackle-able on tape. I charted him with 29 open-field opportunities across six games. He made the first defender miss on 20 of them. Many receivers are explosive vertically and run fast in a straight line. Patterson is explosive both vertically and laterally, and physical as all get out. I loved how he got skinny through tight spaces, regularly sending would-be tacklers grasping at air as they left their feet. Patterson's run-after-catch ability might be the best I have ever seen from a college wide receiver.
This is high praise, and if you've been looking for the Panthers to get an elite wide receiver - this could be the time. How is he available at the 14th pick though? Surely this type of write up would garner him more attention. Some believe he's not going to be a student of the game, others question his route running -- both of which aren't a concern for Silva in his tape study.
When I look at the tape I see a player with immense potential, but also a lot of risk. There is a leap of faith needed that he'll develop into a complete receiver, and show the kind of work ethic that Julio Jones did at the NFL level. Personally, I still prefer Keenan Allen -- but I'm also well aware of my shortcomings as a talent evaluation; namely that I tend to play it too safe. Truth be told, I think either Allen or Patterson would be an excellent addition to the Panthers offense.
We've seen in Dave Gettleman's past that he's been part of an organization who highly value the WR position, and a willingness to keep throwing picks at the position until it's solid. Nothing would better exemplify this than starting the trend in Carolina, with ample time to throw against the wall and hope something sticks prior to Steve Smith's eventual retirement.

New books in stock this week
Looking at the very best of the new arrivals from the last seven days:
Bird Sense: What it's Like to be a Bird
Tim Birkhead
The author of The Wisdom of Birds returns with this thought-provoking exploration of the subjective sense experience of birds. The premise is that there is much more to being inside a bird's head than at first we may assume. The chapters journey through the different senses, revealing the fascinating insights that surround each through generous reference to the history of avian scientific investigation. Birkhead shows by implication that the sensory life of birds has a rich diversity and specificity which may make many readers revisit the question of what it's like to be a bird.
Atlas of Highland Land Mammals
Edited by Ro Scott
The second publication that we have stocked from the Highland Biological Recording Group, the previous being Highland Bumblebees. The area in question corresponds to the administrative area covered by the Highland Council and accounts for one third of the land mass of Scotland. Drawing upon data from previous surveys by HBRC of specific species, plus the results of mammal recording over the last 12 years from 1999 to 2010, this is a summary of the appearance, behaviour and location, ecology and conservation status and history/management history of 37 species. Illustrated with clear distribution maps and four colour plates.
David Rothenberg
Explores the evolutionary nature of beauty, and beauty in nature, taking on the challenge that led to Darwin's pronouncement that "The peacock's tail makes me sick!" Rothenberg's investigations roam through a world of natural and artistic phenomena, from Bowerbirds and their elaborate nest-building to attract a mate, to abstract art and its demolition of the traditional pursuit and exaltation of beauty in art – and his observations about the interplay of beauty, art and culture interrogate the capacity of Darwin's concept of sexual selection to fully explain the sense of the aesthetic and its appearance in the evolutionary history of animals and humans. Rothenberg is currently collaborating with researchers from CUNY, NYU, and the Netherlands Institute of Ecology on the quantification of the musicality of nightingale songs.
Ecological and Environmental Physiology of Insects
Jon F Harrison, Arthur H Woods and Stephen P Roberts
Volume 3 in the Ecological and Environmental Physiology Series from Oxford University Press.
From the publisher's description:
"Ecological and Environmental Physiology of Insects presents a current and comprehensive overview of how the key physiological traits of insects respond to environmental variation. It forges conceptual links from molecular biology through organismal function to population and community ecology. As with other books in the Series, the emphasis is on the unique physiological characteristics of the insects, but with applications to questions of broad relevance in physiological ecology. As an aid to new researchers on insects, it also includes introductory chapters on the basics and techniques of insect physiology ecology."
D. Graham Burnett
A majestic and sweeping history of the development of the relationship between science and the whale in the twentieth century, drawing in the implications and side-stories from the whaling trade, politics, environmental activism and cultural perceptions. The author is professor of history and history of science at Princeton University, joint editor of Cabinet magazine, and author of four books, including Trying Leviathan, which won the New York City Book Award in 2007.

Guilty Pleasure Movies
September 4, 2009 at 4:33 am , by Lisa M. Gerry
Hello ladies! I am so excited to get to talk with you about one of my favorite subjects—entertainment. I am a self-avowed entertainment connoisseur (because connoisseur sounds much better than junkie). And my tastes definitely run the gamut—I consider Milk and Revolutionary Road to be two of my favorite films from last year, just as much as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Twilight (oh yes, Twihards, I am one of you). Just like my father—who after countless wine tastings, books on the subject and even his membership in a wine club, still maintains that a $9 bottle from the grocery is one of his favorites—I understand the value of both high- and lowbrow. I will certainly trek downtown to an obscure theater with stale popcorn to see the "It Indie" of the moment, but I will also never turn my nose up at such classics as Joe Versus The Volcano, Troop Beverly Hills or How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days. After a rough day, or a long week, heavy films can be overrated, and for me the formula is quite simple—if you make me laugh, you win my heart. So while there are certain movies that I could recite every line from, and that I will watch again and again, they might not be the ones most prominently displayed by my TV.
Ladies, I've told you some of mine—what are some your favorite guilty pleasure movies?

College Football Team Records
Longest Rivalries In College Football
The all-time longest rivalry in college football isn't Harvard-Yale. It isn't Ohio State-Michigan. It's not even Army-Navy. No, the longest rivalry in college football is a small-school series between two schools that most college football fans know almost nothing about.
Most Played Division I College Footabll Rivalries
The old-school Big Ten football between Wisconsin and Minnesota is the longest-running rivalry in Division I college football history.
Most Wins Over the Nation's Top-Ranked Team
It is by definition the biggest win possible in college football: Knocking off the nation's No. 1 team. And no two teams have done that more often than the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Oklahoma Sooners, who share the all-time record for most wins against the nation's top-ranked squad.
Longest Winning Streaks in an Annual Rivalry
For more than four decades, Notre Dame owned Navy. The Irish and the Midshipmen play each other every year, and have done so for years. But between 1964 and 2006, it was awfully hard to call the series a "rivalry." Besides, the Irish won every year during that span, setting the all-time record for most consecutive wins in an uninterrupted (annual) rivalry series.
Longest Winning Streaks in College Football History
Between 1953 and 1957, the Oklahoma Sooners won a remarkable 47 straight games. More than a half century later, it remains the longest winning streak in college football history.
Longest Losing Streaks in College Football History
The Northwestern Wildcats own one record that they probably would like stricken from the books: The longest losing streak in college football history.
Longest Home Winning Streaks in College Football History
Between 1985 and 1994, Miami Hurricanes won an astounding 58 straight games at home, breaking the record for the longest home winning streak previously held by Alabama, which won 57 straight at home between 1963 and 1982.
Most Consecutive Non-Losing Seasons in College Football History
Penn State enjoyed a streak of 49 non-losing seasons between 1939 and 1987. Find out which other programs have put together impressive streaks of non-losing seasons here.
Most Consecutive Weeks at No. 1 in the AP Poll
Between 2003 and 2005, the USC Trojans held the No. 1 spot in the Associated Press Top 25. Their 33 straight weeks atop the AP poll is the longest streak in college football history—by a wide margin.
Ranked No. 1 for the Entire Season
Only six teams in history of college football have held the No. 1 spot in the Associated Press poll for an entire season.
Passing Efficiency Through The Years
How much has the passing game changed college football—and how much better are college quarterbacks today than they were a couple decades back? Well, see the information here to find out.

Carolina Beach Council Planning For Remote Water Meters
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 16 January 2013 14:08
- Written by Super User
The Carolina Beach Town Council adopted resolutions at their January 15, meeting to approve up to $1.3 million dollars for implementing a system to connect all water meters via a fixed network to Town Hall to permit monitoring for more accurate billing, leaks, tampering and conservation.
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH - The Carolina Beach Town Council approved resolutions to finance a plan up to $1.3 million dollars to create a fixed network of remotely monitored water meters for commercial and residential customers at their January 15, meeting.
The plan would essentially create a town-wide network allowing the billing department to monitor and log water use.
A draft "request for proposals" was presented to the Council last week at their January 8, meeting.
According to that document the Town is seeking a "Fixed Network Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System" that will work with most major water meters, with an expected reading accuracy of 98% or more for all meters in the system.
The draft request states, "The Town of Carolina Beach will not consider Drive-by or migratable (Drive-by migrating to Fixed Network) systems, or the installation of technology that has not been field tested. Vendor experience should include solutions that have been available for over 10 years and with over 100 deployments."
When the project is completed, the Town of Carolina Beach would own and operate a functional and upgradeable Fixed Network AMI System capable of utilizing several types of meters and meter manufacturers. The system would have to be compatible with multiple types of meters.
The Town wants a Fixed Network consisting of a series of data collector units (DCU) located strategically throughout the Town.
According to the draft request for proposals, "The locations shall be determined by the Fixed Network AMI System vendor as part of the bid. The DCU units will be powered using either AC/battery or solar/battery to retrieve meter readings and relay them to a centralized location at Town of Carolina Beach Utility Department Offices. The DCU units, as well as the corresponding meter transmission units (MTU), must operate on a licensed [radio] frequency that is the exclusive property of the Town of Carolina Beach."
Another requirement states, "All Fixed Network AMI retrieved meter readings will be in a format compatible with the vendor supplied software for the Fixed Network system. The software will prepare and format the meter reading data for the printing of selected management reports and the transfer of the meter reading data to the billing software for customer invoicing."
The draft request for proposals also calls for leak detection, flagging large usage, numerous accounting features and tamper alarms.
During the Council's January 15, meeting Public Utilities Director Gene Gurganious explained, "At the last meeting we determined we had to do a resolution for reimbursement for any funds spent for the fixed network system prior to getting financing for it."
The Council approved that resolution up to an amount of $1.3 million dollars.
The Council also adopted a resolution authorizing financing of the proposed system.
Gurganious said the next step is to finalize a "request for proposals" to solicit bids from companies to install the system.
Councilman Steve Shuttleworth said it could potentially be 4,000 meters although some meters are newer than others.
Gurganious said new meters recently installed are compatible with the new fixed network systems currently available. Older meters will have to be replaced.
Shuttleworth expressed concern about including a number in the resolutions and potential contractors knowing what the Town was willing to spend.
Finance Director Dawn Johnson said, "They can look at the number, but we're going to take whoever is the lowest bidder anyway. It will behoove them to have a better contract. That's just giving the ballpark number of what it potentially could be. We can't bring you resolutions that would be under that because then we couldn't file the application."
Once the Request for Proposals is finalized, the Town will follow a bid process and award a bid to a contractor. Then the Town will have to seek approval from the State Treasurer's Local Government Commission to finance the project.
The bids should be returned to the Town by the end of February.
Mayor Bob Lewis said the Council should look at the number of write-offs from people moving and leaving unpaid bills that exceed the deposit placed when opening an account.
A number of years ago the Town Council voted to extend the time permitted to pay overdue bills from 30 to 45 days before cutting off service.
Lewis said the Council should review that system.
The Council voted unanimously to approve both resolutions.

Please note: this course guide was created during a previous semester, and is no longer being actively maintained. For a list of current course guides, please see http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guides.
Since you are away from your library, electronic books become even more convenient for your research. All campuses purchase ebooks, and there are various ways you can find them, but these differ by campus.
A basic approach is to use your library's catalog. Limit your search results to online resources-- this usually requires an advanced search. Here's an example, using the Santa Barbara catalog [quick video]
You can also use Melvyl and limit the results to your own campus.
How can you get books in Washington DC? Not from your campus library, sorry to say.
But you do have access to academic and professional libraries in DC:
Google Books contains millions of scanned books, from libraries and publishers worldwide. You can search the entire text of the books, view previews or "snippets" from books that are still in copyright, and read the full text of out-of-copyright (pre-1923) books. Want to read the entire text of an in-copyright book? Use Google Books' Find in a Library link to locate the book in a UC Berkeley library, or search OskiCat to see if UC Berkeley owns the book.
Why use Google Books?
Library catalogs (like OskiCat) don't search inside books; using a library catalog, you can search only information about the book (title, author, Library of Congress subject headings, etc.). Google Books will let you search inside books, which can be very useful for hard-to-find information. Try it now:
To use library databases from DC you have to set up your campus proxy server or VPN. Once you do so, you'll be able to get articles from the databases in pdf form after logging with your campus ID.
Click your campus name below for set-up instructions:
What sort of articles and data do you need to find for your paper? Scholarly, for sure, but there are many others:
It's helpful when doing your research to think about how you will use what you find. The acronym BEAM helps you make sure you find materials that will do the job you need in your paper. Research papers need materials in all four categories.
B = Background information. Do you know the seminal works, major scholars and theories in your topical area? What about the actual definitions of the disciplinary jargon you're using? Scholarly encyclopedias are the best source of background information: look in Oskicat under your discipline, with the word encyclopedias, [sociology encyclopedias]. Could also use Wikipedia, a textbook, a newspaper, or any source that fills you in on your big topic.
E = Evidence Often called primary sources, evidence is the stuff you are studying in your research. Evidence could be news coverage, laws, court cases, personal interviews, statistics or data... whatever helps you prove your thesis.
A = Analysis Here are the secondary sources-- analysis is usually written by faculty scholars or technical experts, who are themselves analyzing evidence that they may include or cite. As a student writing a paper, you are doing analysis, so it's important to refer to the work of others studying the same topic
M = Methodology This means the methods and questions you will use to analyze your evidence. Each discipline has its own favorite ways of asking questions and its own ideas about what sort of information can serve as evidence. You must know which methods are suitable to the disciplines you are working within. To find methodology, search for books by using the name of the discipline and the word methodology. E.g. Sociology method*.

Use these databases as a starting point in political science research.
Once you've searched a database to find articles, you may need to use to link to a PDF or html file if the full text is not immediately available.
Google Scholar is an easy way to do interdisciplinary research, and with some settings changes can become even more useful. You need a Google account to use these features.
Do your search in Google Scholar. Look in the left sidebar for the Create Alert link next to the envelope icon, and click it. New items will be sent to your email account as they are found by Google.
Open Scholar. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner, and choose 'scholar preferences'. In the next screen, choose Library Links from the left-hand menu. In the search box, type the word Berkeley. Choose University of California, Berkeley - UC-eLinks, and Open Worldcat Search.
Do a Google Scholar search. Click on the "Cited by" link under a citation and select the "Search within articles citing..." checkbox.
Melvyl has become a good place to start your search for scholarly articles because it displays the contents of some article databases. While it does not include as many articles as the databases like Academic Search Complete or JSTOR, it is easy to use, because it is a one-stop search.
Within Melvyl you can turn on or turn off specific databases if you find the results aren't relevant.Read more
Find an influential article, one that has been cited frequently. Use the multidisciplinary database Web of Science.
Here are some general news and newsmedia databases. For a full listing of the Library's news resources, check this list.
The following resources will provide information on polls and public opinion across the United States.
One of the largest hurdles of using Google is the amount you must weed through. Some searches result in thousands of pages; who has time to go through all that? You dont need to. Did you know you can manipulate a regular Google search with a couple hacks to your search. Its true! Try these search "tricks" during your next google search.
You can also combine some of these search hacks, such as adding -site:nytimes.com to remove results from the New York Times website. More search tricks can be found here.
Google Scholar is an easy way to do interdisciplinary research, and with some settings changes can become even more useful. You need a Google account to use these features.

Open Scholar. Click on scholar preferences [next to the search box]. Under Library Links, enter the word Berkeley. Choose up to three database providers we subscribe to: Full Text@IngentaConnect; UC eLinks; and Read article via OCLC.
Do a Google Scholar search. Click on the "Cited by" link under a citation and select the "Search within articles citing..." checkbox.
Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but any are easier than doing it by hand!

HCN in the outhouses of the West
From my Alaska trip: I flew into a small town that is not reachable by road, then hopped on a motorboat and drove across lakes and rivers for 2.5 hours to reach the scientists' camp way out in the boondocks -- out there they have a few rough cabins and a generator that makes electricity only in the evening and two outhouses -- and lo and behold, for reading material in the outhouses they have issues of the Economist magazines and HCN -- amazing to discover HCN readers way out there!

St. Paul —
Last week, St. Paul received a $500,000 grant from Indiana's Office of Community and Rural Affairs.
The grant will be used toward work on St. Paul's aging storm drainage system, according to St. Paul Town Council President, David Henderson, and Water Superintendent Jerome Buening.
The work is planned to encompass three areas of St. Paul; the North Project (29 acres); the South Project (23 acres); and the West Project (107 acres). The optimistic plan calls for the projects to finish by Fall 2013. The construction is expected to affect approximately 400 homes.
"The 2008 floods really exposed how poor our system was," said Buening.
While excess water will naturally flow to nearby rivers such as Flat Rock River, the storm drains direct the water away from residential areas and reduces damages.
The city of St. Paul also hopes the updated systems will relieve the sewer system, which often receives "clear water," or water that doesn't require treatment before being sent back to the rivers; "clear water" includes rain water.
"Money is always tight, and getting this grant was the only way to do this," said Buening.
Buening added that townspeople have known receiving the grant would be challenging but have remained very supportive of acquiring the grant
St. Paul's priority just wasn't comparable to larger cities, said Buening. St. Paul's town council has been working on the grant for around two years, and the first application was rejected last year.
Henderson said he wanted to thank Mary McCarty from Southeastern Indiana Regional Planning Commission. McCarty, Henderson said, guided St. Paul through the application process, knowing what information was needed and when applications and surveys needed to be ready.
"We wanted a grant, and she got it," said Henderson.
Preliminary engineering has been done in preparation for the main projects, according to Buening. Specifics, such as if streets will be closed, have yet to be foreseen. The bulk of construction is expected to take place after winter weather, 2013.

From wallflower to wall power
I'd like to add some colour to my bedroom but I am afraid to commit. I was thinking about painting just one wall. Are focal walls out of fashion?
D. Richardson
Markham, Ont.
A painted focal wall was a popular way to add colour to a room in the 1980s.
One burgundy or hunter green wall might look a bit outdated these days as today's focal walls are all about adding drama with light or dark neutral colours rather than using colour.
Because you already have a monochromatic colour scheme I suggest keeping your colour choices for a focal wall limited to what is already in the room.
I would paint the wall behind the bed a deep version of a neutral brown colour like Benjamin Moore's Stardust 2108-40; it's got a bit of grey in it to keep the wall fashionably on trend.
Paint on some drama
A glossy paint finish would help add some drama and reflection from the window into the room.
If the wall's finish is smooth and free of bumps or cracks then consider painting the wall with a high gloss paint.
Paint the underside and vertical part of the bulkhead running across the top of the wall; not painting the bulk will visually shorten the overall ceiling height in the room.
Accessorize appropriately
Bring a few darker-toned accessories in the room in order to blend your new wall; a dark throw at the end of the bed, a vase or some decorative pillows in a deep neutral colour will help the wall incorporate easily into your existing room.

text: As the city of Fritch continues to deal with money issues, City Officials are considering making some changes to services offered in town.Officials are discuss the potential of using the Hutchinson County emergency services, rather than the one already in Fritch.John Horst, the Interim City Manger says the change has the potential of saving the city money."The city of Fritch has to subsidize the Fritch EMS about $120,000 a year to operate. Our collections are good, there's just not the business in Fritch to break even," he said. Horst told us, the potential of getting rid of the ambulance service in Fritch and using the service offered at the Golden Plains Medical Center in Borger, seems to be a viable and cost friendly option, especially when Fritch won't be required to pay any subsidies. "The hospital district levies a tax, a property tax and with their collections on EMS and the tax, they are able to support their operations."But some local residents told us they don't like the idea of the change."I could need them at any time and it would take Borger 15 minutes at least to get to us and Fritch would be there in less than five," Judy McDonald said. As for right now, the Interim City Manager says when considering the debt Fritch is in, making that change seems to be the only option. "It's just one of those services, for economic reasons, that we have to give up," he said.Officials from the Hutchinson County Hospital District in Borger, and City Officials are meeting to discuss different options for the city of Fritch.

Marlins rained out in DC; no shakeup of rotation
Instead of Sunday vs. Nats, JJ to pitch Tuesday against Mets
WASHINGTON -- The final game of the Marlins' series with the Nationals was postponed due to poor weather Sunday morning about three hours before the scheduled first pitch.
Rain had started on Saturday night, with heavy storms and wind in the forecast for the remainder of Sunday. No makeup date has yet to be announced, but the Nationals said it will be in the next several days.
The Marlins, who had lost the first two games of the series, entered Sunday 7-8 and 4 1/2 games behind the first-place Nationals (12-4) in the National League East.
Washington scored a 2-0 victory Friday night and a 3-2 win in 10 innings on Saturday.
The Marlins come back to Washington twice more this season, once in August and once in September. Both are set to be three-game series.
Miami manager Ozzie Guillen said that Josh Johnson, the scheduled pitcher for Sunday, will start on Tuesday in the series opener vs. the Mets. Everything else with the rotation should stay the same.
"We'd like to see JJ every five days," Guillen said. "I think he's back [on] track. We know this is a process with him."

The topic of love is one that is sure to draw attention. Just listen to any radio station and you will hear many songs about love – "Just an Old-Fashioned Love Song," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "What's Love Got to Do With It?" The list goes on, and on it goes.
This summer my wife and I went on a vacation that included traveling around 2,500 miles.
Excitement is in the air at Ludowici Church of God. Friends and congregants are grateful for their new pastor, the Rev. David A. Holton.
Over the years, I have encountered many who walk around with unforgiving hearts. In fact, you would be surprised at the number of people who harbor ill feelings toward others and refuse to extend forgiveness. There are family members, friends, coworkers and even Christian brothers and sisters who avoid speaking to one another for years because of a silly incident.
Global missionary Johanna Long is visiting First Baptist Church in Hinesville this weekend and she said she's excited to share stories of her international adventures and work with the children of Central Africa.
Well, school is fully in session again. It's hard to believe, isn't it? The buses are running, the teachers and students are excited, and "the three R's" are being taught and learned at a record pace.
The apostle Peter wrote, "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby" (I Peter 2:2).
Earl D. Williams, pastor of Wilderness Baptist Church in Midway, loves to fish, but seldom has the time to enjoy his hobby. He said he's too busy fishing for souls.
Growing up in church has given me a unique perspective on walking the Christian walk. I've had opportunities to share the room with gifted men and women of God. Generally, as pastors and parishioners, we're able to quote scripture dealing with the "fruits of the spirit" - love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, faith, etc. However, we all know that quoting scripture and actually practicing what you preach are two separate things.
The prophet Isaiah was sent to the people of Israel to try and get them to turn back to God, putting all their trust in Him.
In 1 Peter 3:15, Christians are told to "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
Okay, I have to admit it. I love baseball. I know that many in the younger generation are bored by the game. But I find it fascinating.
During the week of Aug. 9-14, First Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Hinesville will celebrate its ministry anniversaries at 7:30 p.m. Bishop Victor Couzens Sr., of the Inspirational Baptist Church in Cincinnati, will speak Monday through Friday. At 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, the Rev. William Miller, of New Fellowship Baptist Church in Glennville, will speak.
Another day up, another day down. Let's look at life one day at a time. Yes, we all have a calendar full of appointments and events. But we must slow down and thank God for letting us live one day at a time. We won't live forever, so it's important to be grateful for every hour and every day.
I will never forget the day for as long as I live. I was sitting on the living room sofa in my home in Warren, Mich., listening to my sister on the phone from Atlanta.
Have you ever felt that you were at the end of the road? Feel like you were down to your last?
As the family of the Liberty Prayer Chapel of Hinesville prepare for their church's 12th anniversary, they are reflecting and anticipating a great time of fellowship.
"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." - Romans 12:1-2
Getting to know God through conversation and dialoguing with Him in prayer is the mold in which the character of our lives is shaped.

A re-discovered masterpiece of reporting by a literary icon and a celebrated photographer
In 1941, James Agee and Walker Evans published Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, a four-hundred-page prose symphony about three tenant farming families in Hale County, Alabama at the height of the Great Depression. The book shattered journalistic and literary conventions. Critic Lionel Trilling called it the "most realistic and most important moral effort of our American generation."
The origins of Agee and Evan's famous collaboration date back to an assignment for Fortune magazine, which sent them to Alabama in the summer of 1936 to report a story that was never published. Some have assumed that Fortune's editors shelved the story because of the unconventional style that marked Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, and for years the original report was lost.
But fifty years after Agee's death, a trove of his manuscripts turned out to include a typescript labeled "Cotton Tenants." Once examined, the pages made it clear that Agee had in fact written a masterly, 30,000-word report for Fortune.
Published here for the first time, and accompanied by thirty of Walker Evans's historic photos, Cotton Tenants is an eloquent report of three families struggling through desperate times. Indeed, Agee's dispatch remains relevant as one of the most honest explorations of poverty in America ever attempted and as a foundational document of long-form reporting. As the novelist Adam Haslett writes in an introduction, it is "a poet's brief for the prosecution of economic and social injustice."
Co-Published with The Baffler magazine
About the Author
JAMES AGEE (1909–55) was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, and was hired as a staff writer at Fortune in 1932. Two years later, his collection of poetry, Permit Me Voyage, won the Yale Series of Younger Poets competition. His book about Alabama tenant farmers during the Great Depression, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, appeared in 1941. Agee was later renowned for his film criticism, which appeared regularly in The Nation and Time, and for co-writing the screenplays for The African Queen and The Night of the Hunter. He died two years before his major work of fiction, A Death in the Family, was published and won the Pulitzer Prize.
Photographer WALKER EVANS (1903–75) was on loan from the Resettlement Administration when he began collaborating with James Agee. He joined the staff of Time in 1945 and shortly afterward became an editor at Fortune, where he stayed for the next two decades. In 1964, he became a professor at the Yale University School of Art, teaching until his death in 1975.
ADAM HASLETT (introduction) is the author of Union Atlantic and You Are Not a Stranger Here.
JOHN SUMMERS (editor) is the editor in chief of The Baffler.
Praise for Cotton Tenants: Three Families…
"A masterpiece of the magazine reporter's art. It is lucid, evocative, empathetic, deeply reported, consistently surprising, plainly argued, and illuminated, page after page, with poetic leaps of transcendent clarity."—Fortune
"Agee squabbled with his editors over what he felt was the exploitation and trivialization of destitute American families…. What readers are about to discover now is what all the fighting was about." —The New York Times
"Cotton Tenants reads with the spare and measured beauty of a writer who knows that under the social circumstances he can only allow himself so much. It is a deeply moving work…Cotton Tenants is fresh and painful reading." —The Awl
"That's the first thing to be said about this essay: Fortune was crazy not to run it. It was a failure of nerve, and a lost chance at running one of the great magazine pieces from that era."—John Jeremiah Sullivan, Bookforum
"An all-in, embracive rendering, panoramic as Brueghel while typecasting like Ben Shahn . . . Agee may be our foundational maximalist, the progenitor of Norman Mailer, Thomas Pynchon, and David Foster Wallace."—The Los Angeles Review of Books
"A paragon of lyrical realism, the book is a legend. . .Agee writes with clinical, angry precision." —The Boston Globe
"Agee's discerning eye, crushing bluntness, and forward-falling prose poetry urge along before dunking readers' senses, again and again, into the families' way of life. Disdainful of sentiment and melodrama, Agee shows no bias, revealing his subjects and skewering both oppressors and supposed reformers." —Booklist
Praise for James Agee and Let Us Now Praise Famous Men
"A book of wonders—an untamable American classic in the same line as Leaves of Grass and Moby-Dick." —David Denby, The New Yorker
"Let Us Now Praise Famous Men is . . . a classic work, an exercise in pure, declarative humanism. It will read true forever." —David Simon, creator of The Wire
"The most copiously talented writer of my generation." —Dwight Macdonald
"The most realistic and most important moral effort of our American generation." —Lionel Trilling
"The most remarkable regular event in American journalism today." —W. H. Auden

There is already enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that the world is locked into at least a 3.6-degree Fahrenheit global temperature increase that will last for millennia, according to a new report released by the National Research Council.
Marilyn Raphael, a UCLA geography professor who helped write the report from the National Academy of Sciences, said the implications were sometimes frightening even to her committee of mostly experts from government and academic institutions who teamed up to develop "Climate Stabilization Targets: Emissions, Concentrations, and Impacts Over Decades to Millennia." The team collected previously published scientific reports to compile their report on climate change.
"I think most of us were really taken aback by the length of time that we're locked into climate change," Raphael said. "Previously the conversation has been about the next generation or two, but now we're looking at millennia. It's sobering and a little frightening."
To prevent the global average temperature from increasing more than 3.6 degrees, carbon dioxide emissions would have to be reduced by 80 percent now, the report said. "I think you'll agree, that's not likely to happen," Raphael said.
So, not to put too fine a point on it, but is the world screwed?
"Yes. We're locked into a temperature change," she said. "It doesn't mean we give up or lose hope. On a personal level, it does make me think about personal choices I can make to reduce my carbon footprint."
UCLA Geography Professor Marilyn Raphael.
As the world's population continues to emit CO2, it will be locked into higher and higher temperature increases, the report explained. But the sooner emissions are reduced, the authors wrote, the sooner that temperature climb will level off, or stabilize. "Stabilization" doesn't mean the world will cool back down – it will just stop getting hotter, Raphael explained.
Because carbon dioxide takes so long to dissipate from the atmosphere, the current levels of CO2 are going to be with us for thousands of years, no matter how much people reduce their emissions, the report said. Today's CO2 measurements – 390 parts per million – will culminate in a 2-degree Celsius, or 3.6 F, increase in the Earth's average temperature, Raphael said.
"That doesn't sound like much, but it will change things," she said. "Think of the warmest summer you've experienced in your lifetime. You can expect that to become the norm for summer."
As the world's average temperature rises, the report found that for each degree Celsius:
- The Mediterranean, the southwestern U.S. and southern Africa will face 5-10 percent less rainfall;
- Arctic sea ice will melt 15-25 percent;
- Alaska and other far-northern regions will face 3-10 percent increases in heavy rainfall;
- Food crops will falter by 5-15 percent;
- Rivers like the Rio Grande will dwindle 5-10 percent;
- Wildfires will consume two to four times as much land.
While the report anticipated current carbon dioxide levels will create a 2 C increase and therefore multiply each of those effects by two, worse is yet to come, the document said. Emissions must be cut by 80 percent to prevent that 2-degree increase from growing – but scientific articles predict CO2 will continue to accumulate.
"Carbon dioxide concentrations could double or nearly triple from today's levels by the end of the century," which would eventually cause warming of 5 C, or 9 F, the report warned.
The National Academy of Sciences committee that developed the report included scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); Stanford University; the University of Washington, Seattle; Texas Tech University; the Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. in DC; Concordia University, Montreal; and others in addition to UCLA.
"It's important that people realize that what we have done to the Earth has an impact not just on our lives and our children's lives, but generations of children to come," Raphael said. "People have to use this information to decide what steps to take next. It's information to act on, not to give up on."

On a small ferry boat between the island of Berneray and Leverburgh in South Harris, I photographed a woman with her three children (Hebridean Family). A moment in time. Then the moment was gone.

I'll need more convincing to be honest. Looks good, but i feel a bit screwed over.
Well, its a yes from me. Not that I need much convincing
MK8 DLC & a bit surprised SW Dig Wii U for 3DS owners. May still DL it as software buys bn quiet this summer anyway. This gen is and will have far fewer retail games than last
Galaxy 2. The very peak of the mario platformer so far.
Hopefully games like Fantasy Life are localised as well.
There IS a 3DS one coming out too by the way? Heard nothing about it other that it is in production and available for pre-order. No screenshots/trailers/gameplay - nothing.
Good, well reasoned review. However, it sounds like the reviewer just isn't a fan of this type of game or maybe even the original which Nintendo Life reviewed as a 9/10. If this is fundamentally quite similar to the original with on-line then I am optimistic for it to be honest. The review itself reads like a 7 looking at the scoring policy of this site as well.
Just completed my 2014th day on wii fit plus
It neatly fits in a wideish draw in my television furniture unit
Wii Fit U full DL is "free" with wii fit u meter which is around £20. . No brainer! On my 2012th day on wii fit plus baby
Wow. Great revw Katy
Reads like its banging.
Wii Party was sensational . Looking fwd to this. Good review
That is what gaming is all about
FUN. Awesome vids
My own young family loved the wii game and am sure theyll love this
Its quality. We have it.
Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus were excellent
Colours was excellent
Looking fwd to this
Good intervw
Of all the gamea in q4 this is most likely of the highest quality and highest calibre. We gots Y
The same problems here are in Marvel Pinball 3ds but not in Zen pinball for some reason. Try playing zen pinball then marvel pinball straight afterward and you'll know what I mean. Seems star wars pinball has the same port issues. The wii u and iOS versions are aces.
Went ahead and bought a 2 tb hardrive which works ok. However, the intial deluxe model should have been 500gb, especially at the entry price back then. Also, especially since Ninty seemed to bang on about big plans for the DL scence, including retail downloads. Still, Wii U is aces.
That's interesting as I had an altercation with him on twitter over him re-tweeting an indie dev who was belitting the Nintendo indie gamers and brown-nosing Sony indie gamers to the extreme. (This same dev then started to talk about how his game was metroidvania influenced.) This was over a year ago mind. Still have a tremendous respect for him in the industry (even though we have blocked eachother ha ha )
I did like this SNES game quite a bit but never downloaded it on the Wii VC as I waited in vain for Piltowings 64.
The third party mini game comps, besides a few exceptions, has been dire. However, first party mini game comps have been brilliant. If you've purchased or played the poor, third party mini-game comps then that's your own, poor purchase decision. They can be great, especially with firend and family. Wii Party was outstanding, and one of the top 25-30 games on the excellent wii system of the close to 90 I played (which on the whole all good or brill). Wii Party U is one of my most anticipated games along with Mario party 3ds
Around 30% or more of my DS games (using that as an example) was from NA. I have played a colossal number of DS games in my time too. Most of the time from games that never made it over here and some times from games that we ended receiving very much later on. I support the consumers right to import tbh. Great article though. Well done.
Why can't Nintendo advertise the Wii U better? Software and hardware.
This video is aces.
To be fair, NFS MWU and FIFA 13 (though not as good as psbox features wise) were excellent. However, its wierd they're happily supporting Vita, which has bummed for a long time and not the Wii U in its early months/first year. I know they've prob got an agreement with Sony that they must support Vita AS WELL AS the PS3 & 4...but STILL
It's an ok concept. Some usage of DLC by pubs are a rip off and insulting - however, it can add value to the game when it doesn't compromise the core.
Wasn't going to get this but ARGH! What were they doing? Too comfortable with existing hardwear set ups.
Good week for NA. Hope to see MMD and MSF 2 soon in EU!
Not bothered myself. Was a cool edition back then.
ACTUALLY, EA DID make a fair amount of money with a fair few Wii games (especially FIFA) but not to the levels of PSBOX consoles. However, that statement seems to indicate they're waiting till the Wii U sells in bigger numbers reading between the lines). At least they consider Wii U same gen as PS4 and Xbox One unlike the makers of the Unity engine.
For me personally, no FIFA 14 on the WII U is a big blow and very annoying.
Think Tales of the Abyss and DoA Dimensions should've been in there, but what there is still good
All excellent. Solid list. Have to agree, RHYTHM THIEF is my favourite too, closely followed by SSFIV 3D
I'd be a tad surprised if Castle of Illusion doesn't come to Wii U considering SEGA have got into bed with Ninty with the exclusives. Then again, SEGA could just say that they've given Ninty its exclusives anyway. Will Company of Heroes and Total War: Rome come to the Wii U?
Great revw, Katy. Can't wait for this
Tetris 3D is the same as the highly decent Tetris Axis game in NA, isn't it? Was quite a decently rated and quality package overall in retail? Will DL that definately. I was a bit of a fan of Jewel Quest 2 on "The Quest Trio" cart during the DS era so I'll probably DL JQ 4 Heritage which is one of the very best bejeweled-esque games out there.
SM3DL is stellar and a classic, but my favourite is OoT 3D!
I don't think NL reviewed the Wii version so its good to read the revw for the Wii U game. I still think its a great accompanyment to Lego City Undy and a legolised. World like Batman's Gotham deserves HD and works btter in that world too for me. I'm glad I re-bought it for the Wii U after playing the Wii one
The majority votes appear to be the common sense answers at the moment. The 32gb storage cap is poor if u want eShop to succeed. The whole colours thing is just silly, black or white is fine. Wii u game pad battery needs to be better if u want the mh3u gamers to have fulfilment in that game and other similar games. The current Nintendo ups are brilliant, wouldn't mind another, but more sensibly behaved 3rd party would help a variety in the library
Unlike the idiotically delayed Legends, there is nothing there that interests me. Including Sth Park.
I love Level 5's work. Think it'd be a mistake of theirs not to consider Ni No Kuni for 3DS since the 3DS is mega strong ATM. Maybe for 2014 to avoid 2013's competitive and stellar line-up!
Cool. But not for me. Couldn't get anywhere with it back in the day. Def couldn't now.
Argh! But the WiiWare game was stellar, how'd they frak it up and why? Dangnation!
Decent DL week. May DL both Kirby games as I DL'd Kirby's Adventure on Wii U eShop. I have both on Wii VC though. Swords and Soldiers and may DL Ghost Recon. Used to have it and sold it before completion, may look it up again financing allow (btw, I bet this will be available for under 10 dollars in US eShop soon _ our pricing takes the p). DEMO
Its sort of Hotel Duskish, but with that 90s sci-fi PC game-ism about it. Very much a "What now? Oh yeah!" Game. Heh heh
Wow, that's interesting. Think I'd be up for that. I need Unlimited first as I'm in the EU (when is that being released ffs?!). Don't frak up the EU version of Unmasked this time please!
Already have TTT2 but that's a great price. Starship Damrey, Resi demo and Super Metroid for me.
I wouldn't listen too mich to this vile tabloid EITHER way though. Look what they've said in past against video game culture. They've got a very bad rep and r only popular cos they're cheap!
3DS upcoming releases and library goes from strength to strength. Wow.
The earlier installments in the series were fairly straight forward so this difficulty is diverting away from the series in a sense. That's ok by me.

TKO! Dawson demolished at the Oracle in Andre Ward's Oakland
by Malaika Kambon
From the beginning of the World Super Six SHOWTIME Boxing Classic when I first began writing about and photographing the rise of Andre "Son of God" Ward, I've compared him to boxing legend Muhammad Ali.
The similarities between the two are very hard to miss.
They were both Olympic gold medalists, both very serious in their chosen spiritual beliefs, both family men, both African-American boxers doing what no boxer had done before their time, both uplifting to the sport.
They've won groundbreaking matches 48 years apart, via TKO, being masters of their craft, and sheer dominance of technique, under conditions in which they rose to the occasion and overcame obstacles.
And both have had a tendency to beat their opponents psychologically before they get into the ring with them – and then complete the process physically during the fight.
Note the masterful way in which the young, brash Cassius Marcellus Clay made Sonny Liston think that Clay was just short of crazy with his braggadocio, his challenges, name calling, predictions of "a total eclipse of the Sonny" and in what round Sonny would be knocked out – all of this before the actual fight!
He later said that he knew that Sonny Liston wasn't afraid of him, but Sonny Liston was afraid that he might be crazy, which is precisely what he wanted him to think.
Mr. Ward does the same thing, albeit in a more quiet and contained manner, but still it is there, particularly if one listens carefully to what his coach, Virgil Hunter, says – or doesn't say – prior to a fight.
Clay defeated Liston before a packed house of 8,297 at the Convention Center in Miami Beach, Florida, on Feb. 25, 1964. Even though Liston tried to rob Clay of his eyesight by rubbing Monsel's solution on his gloves, and tried to rob him of his right to take the heavyweight championship title by faking a shoulder injury to stop the fight.
Andre Ward defeated Chad Dawson before a spectacular crowd of 8,500 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, on Sept. 8, 2012, after telling Dawson that he'd let his hands do the talking on fight night and therefore had no comments at the Oakland weigh-in and Fan Fest.
Andre's hands spoke – and three times, Mr. Dawson hit the canvas, the third time being a technical knockout.
The Chad wasn't faking in the slightest when he asked center referee Steve Smoger to stop the fight after an Andre Ward barrage of punches that dropped him to one knee. His legs were gone. His right eye was deeply cut and bleeding, his head was rocked. He was through. He was done. It was convincingly over.
And "Bad" Chad Dawson didn't attend the post-fight press conference, either. He was taken immediately to the hospital instead.
Andre Ward's record now stands at 26-0, 14 KOs, in 16 years of undefeated boxing, amateur and professional, since the age of 12. He retains his WBA and WBC super middleweight belts. He's won Olympic gold, the World SHOWTIME Super Six Boxing Classic, and is the reigning 2011 Boxer of the Year.
Sure, Andre Ward and Muhammad Ali are in two different weight classes, live two different life styles, with two nearly diametrically opposite personalities – yet they are both winners as athletes and as people, with Ward a young and upcoming master of his craft and Ali an elder in the game.
So this fight against Dawson was a Ward clinic – a fairly mild beatdown of 30-year-old Dawson who hasn't fought anyone near his age in about six years. Had not Dawson stopped the fight, though, it could have gotten seriously ugly at the end. Ward landed 155 power punches to Dawson's 29, according to COMPUBox** scoring, which means Dawson didn't see most of Ward's punches coming and was powerless to stop those he did see.
So if Dawson didn't win any rounds – except the first round, according again to COMPUBox – and that only by a point, then he was unprepared.
That being said, was Chad Dawson qualified to be in the ring with Andre Ward and, if so, what was "Bad" Chad Dawson doing?
Obviously, the answers are no and not a lot.
It seems as though Chad Dawson defeated himself before the fight and no amount of head shaving, glasses wearing, quiet demeanor and/or weight loss could change that.
What? He thought he was going to talk Dre down, since HBO gave them both a nice build up on their "24/7: On the Road to Ward vs. Dawson" special glimpse into both boxers' family lives?
They don't now.
Those who say these things in all probability haven't ever worked hard to become elite athletes, have not ever stepped into a fighting ring or put on a pair of boxing gloves, haven't ever realized that while you can play football, basketball, baseball or golf, that you cannot play boxing.
So they really should shut up.
Boxers risk their lives every time they step into a ring – win, lose or draw. So first and foremost your head had better be on straight beforehand. And all of this "risk factor" talk should cease as well.
You fight whoever stands up in front of you. Andre Ward's team analyzed what it would take to fight someone larger, with a longer reach advantage, someone used to fighting at a heavier weight – no matter that Chad Dawson was very thin at 168 pounds.
Then Andre Ward properly executed what he was supposed to do. And this was the key.
Ward was mentally, physically and spiritually prepared – before fight night – as Chad Dawson obviously was not. And the Chad forgot some basic survival rules: 1. Respect and study your opponent. 2. Be prepared. 3. Be yourself. 4. Don't start fights (i.e., challenge the smaller fighter) or throw down the gauntlet – and then lose the fight.
Dawson's team played Russian roulette with their fighter and lost a boxing match, when they could very easily have lost their fighter to serious injury. Dawson's kung fu was not strong.* He wasn't strong in mind, body or spirit.
Above all else, he shouldn't have been concentrating so much on "making weight," "dropping weight," "catch weights" and all of the attendant hype. Developing an athlete who has the heart, mindset and skills with which to execute in their chosen sport is a necessary attribute of a coaching team when developing a world-class, elite athlete – and when the athlete is developing a life. Dawson's team didn't have it for this fight.
That Ward obviously has had superior coaching and the proper mindset since the age of 12, and is deepening it as he continues to develop, should be obvious.
He is fighting at about 85 percent of his boxing potential. He is bigger and stronger than he looks, and he always looks as though he is utilizing the same generalship of his strengths and resources as he does when he commands in the ring. He has full comprehension of what his body can do, as evidenced when he won a 12-round decisive victory when he "shut the Froch up" with his powerful left hand multiply fractured.
And he has the best coach in town in Virgil Hunter, 2011 Coach of the Year, who is now being dubbed "The Zen Master."
So, how "bad" was the Chad? Well, not very – or very, very – depending upon your point of view.
In fact, Mr. Dawson should consider retirement among his career options if he continues to fight the way he did this past 8th of September 2012.
Because if Andre Ward moves up in weight to the light heavyweight division, there will be nowhere the Chad can run and nowhere he can hide, and the light heavyweight title belt could change hands – again.

Smallish typo: First photo was a stunning left hook to Dawson' temple. I felt it all the way up in the ceiling where I was assigned to sit by the Magna Media people that have taken over from the former PR company.
I did however, take and submit for consideration, a series of photos in which it seemed that Dawson literally 'blocked with his head,' walking into short chopping right hand punches from Andre Ward on the inside. He did this more than once. These, I call 'face plant' punches, which is really a very rude way of saying that someone saw a punch coming, and couldn't do squat about it, so they blocked w/ their head or face. This is bad. In boxing, when you start seeing punches coming and not be able to avoid them, it is time for a career change.
And yes, I agree, Mr. Freeman. My personal opinion is that Mr. Dawson should consider a lifestyle change; maybe become a ringside announcer, or something else, if he stays in the boxing profession.
Don't get me wrong: I am very staunchly and unswervingly an Andre Ward fan. Period. Forever. However I also do know, can see what I'm looking at, so to speak.
And from the first, I was very seriously concerned about Mr. Dawson's health. This was from the moment I first saw him at a press conference in Oakland, something that hasn't ever happened before when I've seen Dre's opponents. So I started looking for some of Dawson's fights on You Tube, and have yet to be impressed. Andre Ward picked him apart at 168 lbs. If he ever moves up in weight, and Dawson is still light heavyweight champion, I'm not sure that Dawson will come out of the exchange in one piece, or sane. Because remember, Andre Ward is naturally an inside fighter, and inside is exactly where you're supposed to be when fighting an opponent w/ longer reach and taller size. In my pre-fight article, 'Ward fever,' I predicted that Chad Dawson had a problem that he didn't know about yet, and its name was Andre Ward. It seems that that was very very true – more true even than I knew. Thanks for your comments!↓

Third photo – left hook.↓

I'm a little surprised, frankly. I thought that the Ward v. Kessler and Ward v. Froch fights were closer, and I felt that Dawson was better than Kessler and Froch. I knew Ward was good, but his low KO count led me to believe that Dawson would give him trouble. So either Kessler and Froch are better than Dawson or Ward improved after those fights? Both? As for Dawson struggling against Hopkins, well, everyone has.↓

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed reading↓
You're welcome, Jake and thank you for reading! Andre Ward is a champion. He's presently healing up from a shoulder injury / surgery, and speculation is running high that he will return to the ring in August of this year.
It will be interesting to see who his next opponent will be. His scheduled fight with Kelly Pavilk is off the table because Pavlik has retired.
Carl Froch is making silly noises because Ward defeated him with his hand multiply fractured and (in my estimation) this is something Froch is having a very hard time living down. Froch just defeated Mikkel Kessler and is screaming like a banshee for a Ward v Froch rematch, stating that the night Andre Ward defeated him, he (Froch) was only defeated because he (Froch) was having a bad night. He is also bending anyone's ear who will listen with his inexpert (in my estimation) attempts at critiquing Ward's fighting style.
Well, obviously he (Froch) was having a bad night since he lost. He (Froch) was missing shots all night, while Andre Ward, injured hand and all, was connecting with everything he threw, and he (Ward) was throwing hard, despite the pain in his hand. In fact, when Ward's gloves were finally removed after the fight, his left hand was double its normal size. But he won. 12 rounds. Decisively. (See: Andre Ward shuts down Carl Froch http://sfbayview.com/2011/andre-ward-shuts-down-c…
It is my thought, therefore, that since Froch was having a bad night with Ward having a severely multiply fractured left hand, that Froch should consider that he may have a worse night with Ward with a completely healed left hand: particularly since Andre Ward's left had is famous for being deadly.
Froch should also remember that Andre Ward (undefeated since the tender age of 12 years old) opened the 2009 World Boxing Classic Super Six Super Middleweight Championships by resoundingly defeating Mikkel Kessler when he (Ward) was just beginning his career as a professional boxer. He (Ward) concluded the Super Six Boxing Classic with an undefeated record, which he capped off by decisively beating Froch. He went on to become the 2011 Boxer of the Year.
Froch hasn't learned a thing. He's still motor mouthing, attempting to trash a boxing style that he obviously doesn't understand. Shooting off his mouth is just making him look silly. It is this reporter's considered opinion therefore, that he should follow the suggestion of the Ward family's billboard sized sign at the Ward v Froch fight and "Shut the Froch Up." It's really, really good advice.
There is speculation about a Ward v Mayweather match up as well as a Ward v Chavez, Jr. match up. Nothing is set in stone as of yet. But the coming months should be very interesting! Stay tuned!
And again, thank you for reading!↓

I agree and disagree - we should get VR moving, but there are other projects to put resources into that won't have Facebook's history of dumping on their partners.

"Myopic geeks"? I can't help thinking I've been trolled.
Anyway, I read the blog post, as the AusGamers article was slashdotted before I got there. It mentioned nothing about what Facebook can bring to the Oculus Rift other than "resources". They also talk about long-term commitment, though I guess you would have to ask Zynga on how Facebook have delivered on their commitment to a stable gaming platform previously.
Though it's plain you didn't read the blog post he wrote (he actually states specifically that VR is ideal for social, he just doesn't trust Facebook to push the platform for games development given their history of arbitrarily changing the playing field), I was using Notch as an example. Try having a browse around, and see if you can find a game developer who is genuinely excited about Facebook's involvement.
And yes, I can't spell irrelevant. That isn't relevent to my point!
You can have all the engineering genius in the world, but when you have famous programmers abandoning the platform because of it's association with Facebook, what's the point?
If a tree falls in a forest with nobody to hear it...
To be fair, Apple are very committed to branding.
How did you get modded up for this? The Guardian says nothing about anything that is mentioned in the OSnews article.
Nothing, because they're licensed?
No it's not. Only an idiot actually believes that. In order to be a real currency, you kinda have to have a lot of people use it to directly buy and sell things.
You can already buy and sell things with Bitcoin. Example: Bitlasers. So where is the line? How many items have to be sold before it becomes a currency? The logical answer would probably be "one".
This article is about google and amazon in the UK. In an attempt at link baiting, there is a single line about apple in the US in the article so they would write Apple in the headline for clicks.
And slashdot fell for it - and so did I.
Actually the summary refers to the fact that Apple do this too.
Just because it's not specifically mentioned in the linked article, doesn't mean it's not happening.
Don't use a badly designed system?
I completely agree with you. Thousands on Slashdot wouldn't, because it's Microsoft and they're hunting desperately for something to blame them for.
Which, from the article, is exactly what they're doing.
I had to single out this post for response because none of things you laughably assumed about me are true.
I'll lighten up, if you can explain to me what's funny about telling your parents that you're a drug addict and a criminal.
Overdrawn? But I still have checks left!

Windscreens and doors damaged in vandalism spree
2:00pm Wednesday 6th February 2013 in News
RESIDENTS in Cavendish Road and Dean Park Road in Bournemouth are counting the cost after several vehicles were vandalised over the weekend.
The doors of a number of parked cars were damaged and one vehicle had its windscreen smashed. A Dorset police spokeswoman said: "The damage happened overnight on Saturday; dents and scratches were caused to at least seven vehicles."
One local resident claimed thousands of pounds worth of damage had been caused, adding that it wasn't the first time that cars in the area had been vandalised. Calling for CCTV cameras to be installed in the area, she added: "Every weekend damage is done; this time it wasn't just wing mirrors."
Witnesses and anyone with information should phone 101, quoting incident number 03:205.
