Tell GR: Who Would You Pick For A Microsoft Smash Bros.?
Posted on Friday, May 25 @ 15:51:22 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
The introduction of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale immediately conjures the idea of a "Microsoft Ultimate Hero Bash" or something of that nature. The trouble, though, is that Microsoft hardly has the same catalogue of games as Nintendo and Sony.
The obvious choices are Master Chief, maybe Arbiter, from Halo and Marcus plus Dom from Gears of War (more characters from them, if necessary). Microsoft owns Rare too, so as awkward as it might be, they could introduce Banjo, Conker, or as a last resort, Kameo. They could also dig into Fable, the first Mass Effect (maybe), and their XBLA exclusives. I would actually like to see some characters from Lost Odyssey.
Who would you like to see in the what-if Microsoft Smash Bros.? (Emphasis on the bro...)

The Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas will almost double its size as a multi-million dollar construction project is set to begin next month.
The project is being made possible with federal grant money plus a forgivable loan program through the City of Pittsburg.
For thousands of Southeast Kansas patients the 25,000 square foot expansion will mean shorter wait times and more services being provided under one roof.
For the past six years, the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas has seen an increase of patients through its seven sites. In fact, they see an almost 300% increase in patients each year.
The increase has caused the five year old building in Pittsburg to become to small for the demand.
"We've added sites - we've got them in four counties - Coffeyville, Iola, Baxter, Columbus," says CEO Krista Postai. "As we added these sites, we thought that this would take the stress off this location. It really hasn't. It just attracted new people from those regions."
Postai says the clinic is a one stop-shop ranging from psychological to medical to dental.
"We have a tremendous walk-in traffic from just vaccines alone," says Postai. "We do about 13,000 alone. That brings a lot of folks in."
Patient Gabrielle Murnan says she is excited to see that the project is going to begin soon.
"It's a great contribution to the community," says Murnan. "Now they can serve so many more patients and so many more people can have access and that's the whole point of community health center is for everyone to have access to healthcare."
The need for construction became even more concrete when some staff members had to repurpose closets or a bathroom into offices.
"It'll mean less wait time, more availability of doctors, they'll be able to bring more doctors," says Murnan. "And as far as the community, that many more people will be able to come here to realize the different programs and services community health provides."
Postai says patient intake is expected to increase even more after the Supreme Court last week upheld the Affordable Healthcare Act.
"We are so pleased to hear that most of those people will now have some kind of health insurance coverage, which makes it easier for us to refer out to specialty services, because those things, we don't offer," says Postai. "That's always been a challenge. So that was great news for us. It also tells us though, that we know there's another 30% of the population out there that aren't seeing a doctor because they can't afford it."
The Health Center received a $4.7 million federal grant and a $460,000 forgivable loan for the construction and equipment.
Another service community health will offer is a mobile health van for child care at area schools.
The Kid Care Connection will begin this month as children are enrolling into school.
"The greater impact is looking at the health of Crawford County, which is in the bottom of the state," says Postai. "We have some of the worst health indicators and outcomes in the state of Kansas. This gives us an opportunity to start addressing the problems, not just the symptoms."

SourceIn the latest Scribes section at the official Rare web site, a Banjo Kazooie fan pesters the staff for details on the announced, but as yet unseen, Banjo Threeie hoping for a 3D platforming adventure to carry the torch. Rare may have dashed his hopes, as the word from on high says that "Banjo won't be a shooter [...] but it also won't be a traditional platformer."
They didn't elaborate much on what the next Banjo's "different take on the genre" but it sounds like the team at Rare is trying something new. On the multiplayer front, the Scribes columnist writes "We aren't in the business of crushing little boys' dreams so your multiplayer hopes will be answered. The 'new direction' that Banjo is taking should offer a multiplayer experience unique to anything currently available."
Yeah, yeah, how about showing the thing already? Can we agree that GDC is a good time? I'll take your silence as confirmation, Rare.
I just hope this game will be as great as the first one!

Authorities raid an illegal snake-selling business a man was running out of his own home in upstate New York. Inside the man's two-car garage, they found nearly 850 snakes!
Authorities say Richard Parrinello, an animal control officer, illegally sold hundreds of snakes and other reptiles out of his house.
Among the creatures found were two 6-foot Burmese pythons, which are illegal in New York.
According to the owner's LinkedIn profile, it was all part of a business he's been running for the past 12 years without the proper permits. It's called Snake Man's Exotics and according to its website, it breeds snakes and sells them around the world.
It appeared he was caring for these reptiles and they were not harmed in any way. He will face some misdemeanor charges for having the illegal pythons, as well as a number of town code violations.

Fourth on the list of threats are insecure interfaces and APIs. IT admins rely on interfaces for cloud provisioning, management, orchestration, and monitoring. APIs are integral to security and availability of general cloud services. From there, organizations and third parties are known to build on these interfaces, injecting add-on services. "This introduces the complexity of the new layered API; it also increases risk, as organizations may be required to relinquish their credentials to third parties in order to enable their agency," the report notes.
CSA's advice here is for organizations to understand the security implications associated with the usage, management, orchestration, and monitoring of cloud services. Weak interfaces and APIs can expose an organization to such security issues pertaining to confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountability.
Denial of service ranks as the fifth-greatest security threat to cloud computing. DoS has been an Internet threat for years, but it becomes more problematic in the age of cloud computing when organizations are dependent on the 24/7 availability of one or more services. DoS outages can cost service providers customers and prove pricey to customers who are billed based on compute cycles and disk space consumed. While an attacker may not succeed in knocking out a service entirely, he or she "may still cause it to consume so much processing time that it becomes too expensive for you to run and you'll be forced to take it down yourself," the report says.
No. 6 on the list is malicious insiders, which can be a current or former employee, a contractor, or a business partner who gains access to a network, system, or data for malicious purposes. In an improperly designed cloud scenario, a malicious insider can wreak even greater havoc. From IaaS to PaaS to SaaS, the malicious insider has increasing levels of access to more critical systems and eventually to data. In situations where a cloud service provider is solely responsible for security, the risk is great. "Even if encryption is implement, if the keys are not kept with the customer and are only available at data-usage time, the system is still vulnerable to malicious insider attack," according to CSA.
Seventh on the list is cloud abuse, such as a bad guy using a cloud service to break an encryption key too difficult to crack on a standard computer. Another example might be a malicious hacker using cloud servers to launch a DDoS attack, propagate malware, or share pirated software. The challenge here is for cloud providers to define what constitutes abuse and to determine the best processes for identify it.
Eight on the list of top security threats to cloud computing is insufficient due diligence; that is, organizations embrace the cloud without fully understanding the cloud environment and associated risks. For example, entering the cloud can generate contractual issues with providers over liability and transparency. What's more, operational and architectural issues can arise if a company's development team isn't sufficiently familiar with cloud technologies as it pushes an app to the cloud. CSA's basic advice is for organizations to make sure they have sufficient resources and to perform extensive due diligence before jumping into the cloud.
Last but not least, CSA has pegged shared technology vulnerabilities as the ninth-largest security threat to cloud computing. Cloud service providers share infrastructure, platforms, and applications to deliver their services in a scalable way. "Whether it's the underlying components that make up this infrastructure (e.g. CPU caches, GPUs, etc.) that were not designed to offer strong isolation properties for a multi-tenant architecture (IaaS), re-deployable platforms (PaaS), or multi-customer applications (SaaS), the threat of shared vulnerabilities exists in all delivery models," according to the report.
If an integral component gets compromised -- say, a hypervisor, a shared platform component, or an application -- it exposes the entire environment to a potential of compromise and breach. CSA recommends a defensive, in-depth strategy, including compute, storage, network, application, and user security enforcement, as well as monitoring.

There have been two films I've seen recently that help make the case for Academy voters to add an ensemble award to their list of categories. Warrior, with Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton in the lead, and The Help easily justify the inclusion of a Best Ensemble Oscar. So get on it Academy members and add the category every other awards body already has - a category which honors the work of the whole rather than singling out one performance as the best of the best.
The Help's not the sort of film we're used to getting the opportunity to see in August, and coming off what's been a fairly lackluster summer filled with disappointing big-budget effects films, it's a breath of fresh air. The heavy, thought-provoking subject matter shouldn't deter adult audiences from heading to theaters to check it out, although the issues it deals with could turn some potential ticket buyers off. To that I suggest those who haven't read the book put aside their preconceptions and allow the film to work its magic.
The Story:
Stockett's book is set in Jackson, Mississippi (with the film shot in Greenwood, Mississippi) and follows Skeeter (Emma Stone), a recent college graduate of Ole Miss with ambitions of being a writer. A high-powered New York publisher suggests she concentrate her writing efforts on finding something new and fresh - and something that deserves attention - and Skeeter quickly finds her book's subject matter.
Returning to Jackson, Skeeter reunites with her lifelong friends and instantly realizes their racist points of view are no longer something she can tolerate. Skeeter attempts to remain friends with these women who spend their days playing bridge and gossiping, but it's their black maids who Skeeter really wants to connect with. These faceless, voiceless women have been raising the children of their white employers for decades, only to have those very same children grow up to treat them with disdain and contempt. Skeeter knows there's a story there, but putting pen to paper with the Jim Crow Laws looming large over any interaction between blacks and whites could mean public disgrace or even jail time.
Despite the risk, Aibileen (Viola Davis) agrees to contribute her story to Skeeter's book. Aibileen's story alone could fill chapters, however the NY publisher wants more maids to contribute in order to consider the book for publication. At Aibileen's urging, the out-spoken Minny (Octavia Spencer) joins this secret project, followed in time by other maids employed by Skeeter's friends and family associates. As they pour out their stories, Skeeter's book becomes more than just a writing project for the would-be journalist and transitions into a life-altering experience for all of the brave women who put their lives on the line in order to finally be heard.
The Acting
Writer/director Taylor has assembled an amazing group of women to fill out his cast, with each character brought to life via stunning performances. Led by Emma Stone as the frizzy-haired young woman who no longer subscribes to group-think, The Help offers up some of the best performances by actresses in 2011. Stone's pitch-perfect as Skeeter, a difficult role that's a stretch from her past performances. Known mostly for tackling comedies, Stone demonstrates the vulnerability, earnestness and strength of character that make Skeeter such an interesting character, and her performance further proves why she's so sought after by filmmakers.
Oscar-nominee Viola Davis' Aibileen is exactly as she is on page, with Davis soulfully portraying this woman who lost her only son in a horrible accident but who refuses to give up on life. Octavia Spencer's Minny punches up the film, bringing the same sassiness to the character that Stockett described so well in her book. Look for Spencer's performance as well as Davis' to be mentioned when it comes to awards voting time.
Bryce Dallas Howard is delicious as the villainous Hilly Holbrook, the ringleader of the group and a hateful woman whose goal in life is to make sure whites and blacks never use the same toilet. As Hilly, Howard's smile masks a viperous tongue that spews forth poisonous vitriol. Howard doesn't go over-the-top with her take on the film's villain while still making the audience loathe this vindictive social climber. Equally entertaining is Jessica Chastain as Celia Foote, a poor girl who marries well and is ostracized by Hilly's group. In the book, Celia's a Marilyn Monroe-ish character with a big heart and big boobs. And Chastain, who looks nothing like Stockett's Celia in real life, absolutely captures the complicated character on the screen.
The Bottom Line
The Help could have made the transition to the big screen differently than how Taylor chose to adapt the story, with Taylor's choice of shifting some of the focus off of Skeeter's point of view and onto Aibileen's and his choice to soften some of the intense and disturbing demonstrations of racism making the film less hard-hitting than Stockett's work. In that regard, the movie does let the book audience down a bit. However, what Taylor and his cast have accomplished is, character development-wise, one of the most faithful adaptations of a bestselling novel of the past decade. Yes, pages had to be lost - that's to be expected with any adaptation - and minor storylines are either ignored or relegated to very limited screen time. More of Skeeter and Stuart's tumultuous romantic relationship could have helped to pump up Skeeter's backstory, but it also would have meant increasing the running time. And at 137 minutes, The Help is already pushing it.
The sets and costumes are first-rate, the accents and mannerisms are in keeping with the area and the era, and the make-up and hairdos (how much hairspray did women use to keep those things in place?) remind us why revisiting those styles from '60s is not necessarily a good thing. Watching the film is like taking a step back through time to the Deep South of the 1960s. Every element of the film screams authenticity, from the bridge party set ups to the obvious dividing line between the upper and middle class white neighborhoods and the homes of the black maids.
The Help is a first rate production all around. Tackling a difficult subject matter without coming across as preachy, writer/director Tate and his talented ensemble do readers of the book proud. And for the uninitiated, they introduce and deliver a story that's both honest and entertaining.
The Help was directed by Tate Taylor and is rated PG-13 for thematic material.
Theatrical Release: August 10, 2011

Not too long ago, just looking at a screen on the bridge or in a console took a whole lot of effort. Very few screens were bright enough, they all suffered from terrible glare and reflection, and the only adjustments you could make were for brightness and contrast. Manufacturers couldn't seem to make a screen that could be viewed while wearing polarized glasses, and it really wore me out! I'd have to take off my glasses or twist and turn my head back and forth and side to side like some spastic chicken trying to get a visual, and I would usually end up burying my face in the unit to block the sun.
In an effort to help reduce glare and reflection, builders would recess units deep into the dash or console and surround them with black paint, which helped dramatically in most cases. Catching bait in the early morning, we frequently had to turn into the sun just so I could get a glimpse of the screen on the echo sounder. I hated to do it because that usually meant turning up sea on rough days, making it harder to stay on the bait. But if I couldn't see the sounder, I might move off the bait and waste precious time.
Once again, advancing component technology and the diligence of manufacturers who continually push for better, easier-to-use products and systems have basically taken those irritations out of the equation. Many leading manufacturers of today's electronics have introduced daylight and even sun-viewable screens that actually provide great resolution. Thankfully, screen manufacturers finally stepped up to the plate, and we no longer have to stick our faces in that nasty old radar boot ever again!
Several leading-edge companies offer complete systems designed to manipulate not only the information you can view, but also where you want to view it, and how much you want to see on each screen by providing full-screen and multiple split-screen views. These systems have capabilities to input so much information and equipment that users can view just about every function on any screen, anywhere on the boat. We also now have touch-screen technology that allows us to set up, reconfigure or change what is displayed and which monitor it's displayed on instantly - with the touch of a finger.
Who's Got What?
For more than 20 years, Ft. Lauderdale-based VEI has designed and manufactured cutting-edge viewing components. VEI provides a large number of systems to the megayacht and sport-fishing markets, and some of their units wind up on some of the United State's specialty craft, many of which see actual combat. VEI released a new DM series of monitors that are available with 15- and 17-inch screens. They come in Pilothouse, Daylight, Sunlight and Super Sunlight brightness configurations and sport "scratch-proof" glass. They boast a total of nine inputs, including four computer inputs, four component inputs and one digital video input (DVI). They mount easily with just four screws and offer several different bezels for a customized look. The DM series can be fully integrated with any manufacturers' equipment or system.
VEI also recently introduced a fully integrated central vessel control system, known as SSIR. According to company literature, this system gives you the potential to "centrally select and control any system for any monitor, for any location, from anywhere on the boat." By integrating the SSIR into your system, you can immediately begin to control navigation, echo sounder, GPS, Internet, cameras, TV, radio or video. The SSIR comes as either a black-box unit with push-button control head or as a black box with touch screen. According to company president Kelly Hulse, "SSIR integrates not only all VEI equipment, but all other manufacturers' electronics on the boat into one clean, easy-to-use solution."
The new GB60 Glass Bridge system represents the latest offering from Simrad. The GB60 system allows you to integrate more than 12 monitors throughout the vessel with any combination of applications including vector charts, raster charts, radar, navigation information, echo sounder, 3D bathymetry, video and photos, as well as security and vessel-monitoring information. While these monitors come in 12-, 15- and 19-inch sizes, they are 25 percent smaller than typical monitors - saving bridge and console space without sacrificing display size. There are several dedicated operating units available for controlling the GB60, including a standard weatherproof keyboard and mouse.
Raymarine's M1500 marine monitor is a 15-inch daylight-viewable waterproof display built for PC applications. Its high-resolution XGA 1024x768 display with wide viewing angle features built-in stereo speakers and digital, analog, composite and multimedia inputs for remote video cameras or entertainment systems. It also comes with separate analog and digital PC inputs. You can mount the M1500 in the console or on a bracket.
Furuno's MU155C, a multipurpose 15-inch color display monitor, utilizes a TFT LCD screen with an anti-reflective glass filter to reduce glare. With its XGA 1024x768 display, the unit offers a built-in scaler that can squeeze out even higher resolutions up to SXGA 1280x1024. The MU155C offers two RGB analog inputs, one DVD-D digital video interface and three NTSC/PAL video inputs. (North America utilizes the NTSC, and PAL handles European signals.) You can use this unit either as a remote display for black-box radar, echo sounders, sonar and Furuno's NavNet or to display camera feeds, computer input and the like. The MU155C also features PIP (picture in picture), allowing users to view several feeds at once.
These types of technologies offer exciting potential. Anyone ordering or building a new boat should take a look at these systems and take advantage of the tremendous strides made in flat-screen technology. There's simply no reason to squint or do the limbo to see what's on your screen in any given light situation. And if you purchase one of these integrated control systems, you can control what you want to see, as well as when and were you want to see it. You can run multiple pieces of equipment on the same monitor or change what you see as situations jump from fishing, to navigation, to night steaming or whatever.

Playing the Field: Sage Steele, Jalen Rose flirt on live TV
There's very little more awkward than two TV hosts not realizing the camera is rolling.
There are plenty of infamous examples. Everyone remembers Bill O'Reilly flipping out back in his "Inside Edition" days. ESPN's Chris Berman had a particularly epic meltdown ("It's like no one here has worked on TV before!") on "Monday Night Football." And in honor of NBC4 New York's Sue Simmons, who retired (coughfiredcough) after 32 years this week, we present one of the funniest F-bombs in news history.
Why are we running down some of these epic fails? Well, ESPN's Sage Steele and Jalen Rose added one of the most awkward on-camera mistakes of all-time to the record books this weekend. But they put a unique twist on it — no f-bombs or yelling at producers, just Steele flat out flirting with Rose as it is unknowingly broadcast to America.
Yep, that's Steele coyly smiling and asking about dinner plans with Rose. His response, if you couldn't make it out, was "Between now and Monday." I'm not generally one to jump to conclusions, but well that really looks like awkward flirting. Anchor Lindsay Czarniak clearly picks up on it just by the look on her face when they return from the mistake. Oh, by the way, they are both married. Oops.
Errors for everyone!
On the same note as TV anchor screw-ups, there's nothing more enjoyable than watching professionals totally screw up at their job.

Were I not such a terrible little leaguer, I could say we've all felt that same feeling before. Instead, I'm more familiar with the disaster that was the ending of Kansas City and St. Louis on Friday.
With two outs in the ninth, down by one run, the Cardinals' Tyler Greene tried to steal second and put the tying run in scoring position. When the throw got away, Greene just kept running … until being tagged out at home to end the game. Walk-off error!

Culp sales rise 7.8% but earnings decline on tax, raw materials costs
August 30, 2011-- Home Textiles Today,
High Point, N.C. - Upholstery fabric and mattress ticking supplier Culp Inc. said its sales rose 7.8% in the fiscal first quarter ended July 31, but profits were cut in half due largely to a non-cash tax expense and higher raw materials costs.
The company reported net income of $1.82 million or 14 cents per share. That's down from $3.75 million or 28 cents per share in the same quarter last year. Pre-tax income of $2.97 million was some 30.7% below the $4.28 million from last year's fiscal first quarter.
Sales totaled $60.3 million, up from $55.9 million in the prior year quarter. The sales gain was paced by the upholstery fabrics segment, which was up 12.4%.
Mattress ticking sales were 4% ahead of the same quarter last year.
"Both of our businesses continued to deliver solid results, even though profitability is down somewhat from the same quarter of last year primarily due to higher raw material costs in mattress fabrics and lower than expected results in our U.S. upholstery fabrics operation," said Frank Saxon, president and CEO. "We announced price increases in both segments that are expected to absorb some of these additional costs going forward."
The company said mattress ticking growth was driven primarily by increases in sales of knitted fabrics, while the upholstery fabrics segment was driven largely by improved sales of products made in China. The Chinese-made fabrics have been well-received by both U.S. and international customers, Saxon said.
The upholstery fabrics business also was aided by results from Culp Europe, a sales and distribution facility based in Poland that was launched earlier this year, he said.
For the current quarter, the company is projecting a 5% to 9% increase in upholstery fabric sales and a 4% to 8% gain in mattress ticking sales.
"We are excited about the many positive initiatives we have under way and the progress we are making with a number of key customers around the world. We have made great strides in enhancing the design and creative side of both of our businesses," said Saxon. "Although strong headwinds remain throughout the economy and in our industry, we will continue to execute against our global strategic initiatives in fiscal 2012."
The company also said its board of directors approved a $2 million increase in a stock repurchase program that was announced in June. The total repurchase authorization is now $7 million, and the company said about $3.2 million was spent on share repurchases through Aug. 16.

Atlantic City Race Course celebrated 66 seasons of racing in 2011. The track, which preceded the casinos by decades as South Jersey's first gambling establishment, boasts one of the most colorful histories in the racing world. The Association was founded in 1944 by a virtual "Who's Who" of businessmen, athletes, and Hollywood personalities, each sharing an unbridled passion for horse racing. Original stockholders included the legendary Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, and six of the nation's big band leaders: Kay Kyser, Phil Spitalny, Harry James, Xavier Cugat, Sammy Kaye, and Axel Stordahi. John B. Kelly Sr., Olympic gold medalist and father of the late Princess Grace, was Atlantic City's first president.
The south Jersey track has carded an annual summer race meet since its grand opening in 1946. Racing fans in those early days were mesmerized by the glamour of a sport which assembled the heroes of racing and attracted Hollywood's finest. With the debut of the United Nations Handicap in 1953, crowds of more than 30,000 were witness to equine stars like Round Table, Mongo, and Dr. Fager, as Atlantic City blazed forward in setting the standard for turf competition in North America.
In the decades that followed, Atlantic City Race Course continued to flourish under the tutelage of Philadelphia's Levy family. Through Dr. and Mrs. Leon Levy and their son Robert, ACRC's reputation continued as an industry trailblazer. The introduction of events like the Matchmaker Stakes kept AC Race Course quite prominent in the national press. Known as the "Race for Love & Money," the Matchmaker awarded its winners with stallion seasons in addition to purse money, a unique concept that made this race second only to the famed United Nations Handicap at ACRC. Atlantic City also spearheaded milestones like the nation's first simulcast and races that bridged the gap between the seashore's famed boardwalk and the mainland racetrack, including the World's Playground Stakes, the Miss America Pageant Stakes, and the Caesars International Handicap.
In October of 2001, AC Race Course was sold to Greenwood Racing, Inc., owner of Philadelphia Park and six "Turf Clubs" located in Pennsylvania. In December of 2006, the long-awaited Philadelphia Park Casino opened in the renovated grandstand of Philadelphia Park, allowing slot gaming and horseracing to coexist in the same venue. In 2010, the Philadelphia Park Casino became known as Parx Casino, opened as a brand-new 260,000 square foot, state-of-the-art casino adjacent to and replacing the temporary Grandstand venue. Greenwood also owns and operates "Favorites at Vineland," New Jersey's first off-track wagering parlor & sports bar located on Delsea Drive in Cumberland County. Favorites at Vineland opened in March of 2007. Through Greenwood Racing, the triumphs of Atlantic City Race Course carry on with six incredible days of all-turf Thoroughbred racing April 27 - May 3. For 67 years and counting, Atlantic City Race Course has been Atlantic City's longest running hit. Whether your first or thousandth visit, we're sure you'll love the track famous for "A Smile and an Eighth."

Man, 87, faces jail for sex attacks
Updated 1:35pm Monday 13th January 2014 in News
A JUDGE has warned an 87-year-old he could be facing a jail term after admitting a series of sex attacks 30 years ago.
Richard Gilmore repeatedly molested a young girl from the late 1970s through to the 1990s, starting when she was aged about seven.
The pensioner, of East Drive, Blunsdon, pleaded guilty to five counts of indecent assault and one of indecency with a child when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court.
He pleaded not guilty to an allegation of attempted rape and prosecutors said they would ask for that to lie on file when he is sentenced.
Judge Douglas Field adjourned the case to Friday January 31 and released him on conditional bail until then. But he said: "The fact you are being granted bail should not be taken as any indication of the final outcome of your case."

- " Cons: The Hostel try to rent the rooms to students monthly. This as few cons for short time visitors. It's hard to learn new people there because the most of the students are already in groups. Because the long-stay-customers get there food for free, there is no place for cooking and no refrigerator. The clean-team wake me up a few times around 10 o'clock and can't understand English. Pros: The hostel is on the campus and near the beach. Lot of Shops/Restaurants inside the hostel. "

- " This is not an hostel; it is a student college. The staff is dealing with the students not with us ; not friendly staff to its business. People to meet are NOBODY ... because they all are GROUPS of VERY young students at the University ... they don't mix with backpackers that are LOST in the middle of the sea (the sea being all the students ; more than 200). No activities organized :-( No alcohol alowed ... the bars being far away and there are no more metros after 23.30 I am really DISAPPOINTED "

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?
When it comes to season's greetings, a new poll shows the majority of Americans prefer "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays."
According to a survey from Rasmussen Reports, 68 percent of people polled prefer the traditional "Merry Christmas" while just 23 percent like "Happy Holidays," which can cover a variety of occasions.
When it comes to holiday signs, a whopping 70 percent of shoppers polled said they prefer to be greeted with "Merry Christmas" in stores rather than the more neutral Happy Holidays, according to a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
It doesn't end there. There have been "Christmas Trees" banned or replaced with "Holiday Trees," nativity scenes scrapped to avoid offending some, and the list goes on. Some say such things as "Merry Christmas" and nativity scenes exclude non-Christians.
The so-called "War on Christmas" has been a hot topic for years, with some saying "Merry Christmas" excludes non-Christians. Others believe the religious connotation behind the greeting does not belong in government or schools.
We want to know what you think . . . do you prefer "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"? Let us know the reason behind your preference in the in the comment section below.

The Killam Fellowships Program provides an opportunity for exceptional undergraduate students from universities in Canada to spend either one semester or a full academic year as an exchange student in the United States. Students may participate in the program either as a direct exchange student (registering at their home university, paying their home fees, and attending the host university as an exchange visitor) or as a self-placed visiting student (registering at the host university and paying host tuition fees). Canadian applicants interested in the direct exchange program must be registered at one of the participating Canadian universities and be planning to visit one of the participating American universities .
The Killam Fellowships Program provides a cash award of $5,000 US per semester ($10,000 for the full academic year), a three day orientation in Ottawa, and a three day spring seminar in Washington. In addition, the Foundation provides all Killam Fellows with a health insurance allowance of $500 US. All Killam Fellows are also eligible to apply for a mobility (in-country travel) grant in an amount not to exceed $800 US. The idea of the mobility initiative is to allow students to undertake an educational field trip, providing the Fellows with the opportunity to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the culture of the United States.
The competition is currently closed.
The next competition is for awards to be taken up in the 2015-16 academic year (September 2015 / January 2016). That competition opens September 15, 2015 and the application must be submitted according to the internal deadline of your school (in the case of the direct exchange), or by January 31, 2016 (in the case of the open competition). Please read how to apply for more details.

Another Ultimate Fighter is in the books, and now we know who will be coaching against Ronda Rousey in the next season of the show. We also have an underdog TUF champion, a couple of bantamweight fighters that are in strange positions, and a bunch of middling middleweights that will get to fight at least once more in the UFC. We'll ignore the last item on this list though, and just concentrate on the top four fights from the show last night. Here's who I think these eight fighters should meet in their next bout.
Urijah Faber - The California Kid is clearly the best bantamweight in the world outside of the two champions. He's so good that it's actually tough to come up with challengers for him. But there are really only two that make any sense at all right now - Brad Pickett or Michael McDonald. McDonald is still very young and I think it would be smarter to build him back up away from Faber (for now at least), so I'd go with Faber vs. Pickett. That could headline a Fuel card or be a main-card fight on a Fox event.
Scott Jorgensen - There's no shame in dropping a bout to Faber, although Jorgensen has now lost three of his last four fights. They were all to top-10 fighters though, so he's not going anywhere. Logic would see Jorgensen take on the guy that Faber beat earlier this year, Ivan Menjivar.
Kelvin Gastelum - Well that was a surprise. Gastelum is really young and I think they're going to bring him along a lot slower than your regular TUF winner. It's hard to predict who he'll fight next because it's possible that he might drop to 170. If he does stay at 185, a guy like Buddy Robers might be a good first test. At 170, TUF Smashes runner-up Brad Scott could be a possibility.
Uriah Hall - Clearly Hall's still going to be around for a while despite the loss. I'm guessing they'll want him to fight someone that will strike with him, so stick him in there with the loser of the Andrew Craig vs. Chris Leben bout at UFC 162.
Cat Zingano - This one's pretty easy. After the TUF 18 coaching gig, she'll be meeting Rousey for the UFC women's bantamweight title. Is she the lady that can put a stop to the dominant champion's streak of first-round armbars?
Miesha Tate - Despite the loss, Tate will continue to get high-profile fights. A natural matchup would be against Liz Carmouche, but I'd rather see her face off with the winner of the Alexis Davis vs. Rosi Sexton bout at UFC 161.
Travis Browne - Whether the elbows were illegal or not doesn't matter now since Browne has picked up a win over another top-15 heavyweight. It's tough to see where he goes from here though. If Roy Nelson beats Cheick Kongo at UFC at UFC 159 later this month, match Browne up with Big Country. If not, maybe he can fight Brendan Schaub or something.
Gabriel Gonzaga - The big guy can still serve as a good gatekeeper, but it's just a shallow division so there aren't many options. My guess is that they'll go back to the bout they had scheduled for UFC 153 originally - Gonzaga vs. Geronimo dos Santos - now that dos Santos is apparently out of the woods with his hepatitis B scare.

'Crossing delay puts our children at risk'
6:00pm Wednesday 8th January 2014 in Local News
A PRIMARY school headteacher has joined residents in claiming children and old people have been put at risk by the failure to repair a Canvey road crossing.
William Read Primary School head Jacqui Gosnold has raised concerns about faulty lights at a busy pedestrian crossing on the junction of Long Road and Craven Avenue.
The lights have been out of action since mid-December.
Youngsters at the school started a new term yesterday by taking their chances with traffic to get to class on time.
The Long Road school's head said she had been frustrated to return in January and find the lights had still not been fixed.
She added: "It isn't good enough. The problem began just before we broke up for the holidays and to come back and find it still hasn't been resolved is not acceptable.
"The safety of our students is paramount and the children who use the breakfast club and after-school clubs don't have the security of our school crossing patrol man. It has put them at risk."
Christopher Robertson, 75, of Thisselt Road, has lived on Canvey since 1971, and says he has seen a several of his neighbours narrowly avoid being run down by cars in the three weeks the crossing has been out of action.
He added: "It's an absolute disgrace this has not been resolved and it angers me the county council seems to have such a relaxed attitude to fixing it.
"I've seen elderly people unable to cross and they are put in the position where they have to make a dash for it, which is not good enough."
An Essex County Council spokesman said: "We are aware that the signal controller at this pedestrian crossing has not been working since December 19.
"An engineer was sent to investigate and repairs were attempted.
"Unfortunately, these were unsuccessful and on Christmas Eve, it was established the signal controller needed to be replaced. Engineers will be fitting the replacement on Thursday.
"We apologise for the delay.
This was the next repair date available because of the holiday period."

If you can't cross a road in life without getting knocked down, your life is a failure. One of the simple things in life. I've crossed the A127 before, both ways, jumping over the central reservation Inbetween. It's really not difficult.

The film's so preoccupied with being "inspirational" that it disastrously fails to evoke the allure of rock n' roll when it represented an erosion of racial and sexual barriers.
Stuart Murdoch clearly knows quite a bit about crafting pop tunes, but the film's consideration of the work of songwriting is totally flippant.
The film's music is the city itself as well as a subtle suggestion that Tim Sutton's own digital cinema is just as elusive and intangible as Willis's unwavering sense of dissatisfaction.
A romantic drama complicated by a stroller and a wheelchair, and its first mistake is in assuming some kind of equity between the two vehicles.
Pegi Vail beautifully edited film somehow addresses a lot, but ultimately says little.
For unaware Anerican viewers, the doc will be a worthy footnote to a long bout of deliberate cultural amnesia, but it's too telling that the Vietnamese remain in the background.
By turns abrasive and stately, sermonic and impartial, plot-heavy and meandering, often within seconds of each other.
The offhand jabs at the dissolution of orthodox craftsmanship in 1970s cinema are overwhelmed by a deeper core of autocritique played out in the film's downward trajectory.
A film that outwardly wants its depiction of class privilege to be ridiculing and farcical, but lacks the ability to express these critiques in lieu of the means of the class on the chopping block.
The film predictably alternates in scaring its characters by tapping into their deepest fears and having them rub shoulders with the relics of a past that insists on being undisturbed.
Roger Donaldson embellishes an already overly plotty scenario with hollowly attractive genre superfluities.
As executed by writer-director Ari Folman, the concept is tidy, superficially clever, and almost defiantly irrelevant.
Down to its too-crisp rubber Nixon masks, Daniel Schechter's film revels in obnoxiously self-aware period detail.
One can never fully shake the feeling that the sense of unease the filmmakers rouse, every act of seduction, infiltration, and vengeance they orchestrate, is borrowed.
The cautious optimism with which it answers questionsa about rehabilitation and forgiveness is credible because the characters and setting feel so thoroughly authentic.
By eschewing even basic B-roll footage, it ends up feeling even more stripped down than Frederick Wiseman's patient inquisitions, yet nearly as complex overall.
It bolts down a foreseeable slasher-movie trajectory, laying on thick the dramatic irony while constantly inventing new reasons to punish its characters for old iniquities.
János Szász's film is a thoroughly provocative WWII screed that almost deliberately goes out of its way to avoid sentimentality or bathos of any sort.
The film's attempt at political commentary amounts to a half-baked treatise on good governance in the face of tyranny and socioeconomic exploitation.
Thomas Allen Harris's documentary consistently takes agency away from the art itself with a litany of talking heads.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Kelly Robinson scored on a lay-up with 29 seconds left in overtime to lift Long Island-Brooklyn to a 65-63 victory against the Tiger women's basketball team on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers (4-2) were led by junior guard Tanisha McTiller's career-high 24 points.
The game was a back and forth contest that featured 12 ties between the two squads.
The Tigers and Blackbirds (2-3) traded baskets early in the first half as senior forward Michelle Peebles' lay-up at 12:23 gave the visitors a 12-9 lead. The Blackbirds responded by scoring 13 of the next 15 points in the game to take a 22-16 lead with 5:29 to go in the half. It was LIU-Brooklyn's largest lead of the game at that point. The two teams continued to trade baskets before back-to-back buckets from sophomore guard Ciara Webb tied the game at 24-24. The two sides entered the break with the score tied.
The Tigers opened the second half by scoring eight of the first 12 points to take a 32-28 lead with 13:29 to play. Peebles and McTiller each had four points during that stretch. After the Blackbirds tied the game at 32-32, the Tigers used a 16-6 run to take a 48-38 lead with 4:31 to go. That run by the visitors was highlighted by three-pointers from freshman guard Alliyah Berger and sophomore forward Camille Alberson. The Blackbirds used a pair of triples from Krystal Wells to take a 49-48 lead with 2:11 to go. The Tigers and Blackbirds continued to trade points as McTiller went 5-for-6 from the line down the stretch to give Towson a 55-53 lead with 18 seconds left. A lay-up from Robinson with nine seconds left tied the game at 55-55 and forced overtime.
The Blackbirds scored eight of the first 10 points in overtime to take a 63-57 lead with 2:32 to play. Peebles scored six straight points for the Tigers to tie the game 63-63 with 52 seconds left in the extra session. Robinson hit the lay-up with 29 seconds left and Webb's three-point attempt fell short to make it a 65-63 final.
Towson finished the game shooting 35.2% from the floor and 66.7% from the foul line. LIU-Brooklyn shot 41.5% from the field and 58.3% from the line. For the first time this season, the Tigers got rebounded as the Blackbirds held a 50-41 advantage on the boards.
McTiller added seven rebounds, five steals and four assists. Peebles finished with a career-high 17 points and nine rebounds. Sophomore forward Markell Smith added a career-high seven rebounds.
Tamika Guz led LIU-Brooklyn with 18 points while Cleandra Roberts added 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Towson will be back in action on Saturday, Dec. 8 when the Tigers travel to UMES for a 2 p.m. game.

Choosing the perfect tile for your home remodel project can seem like a daunting task, and many homeowners are unaware of the vast selection of products available to them. Beyond selecting the right tile, there are a number of options regarding installation, care and maintenance that deserve consideration based on the unique characteristics of your home project. The best advice one can follow is to visit a tile showroom where the sales staff is specially trained to listen to your ideas and help you make the selections that are right for you. To get the most of your showroom visit, we offer advice for how to prepare for it, as well as what to expect when you get there.
Before you go
Before any trip, it is best to be prepared. When shopping for tile, being prepared means having the tools required to communicate your ideas effectively to the showroom designer or salesperson. It is a good idea to take photographs of the area to be remodeled, as well as adjoining rooms and furnishings. A picture is worth a thousand words, and the photos will tell the designer a lot about your personal style and existing home décor. Sometimes colors don't accurately translate to a photograph, so we recommend bringing actual samples of your color scheme. A color sample could be a piece of fabric, a paint swatch, or a piece of broken tile to match.
After you have your photographs and color swatches, it's time to find out the coverage area of your renovation. Draw a quick diagram and mark the measurements of the space on the drawing. If you haven't already, now is a good time to decide on a budget for your project. The salesperson will consider your coverage area and your budget to show you products that fit within your price range. Even the most high end tile showrooms have products for any budget.
As a final preparation, spend time researching ideas by browsing home improvement magazines online or at a book store. If you don't have a design in mind, collect images that you like and bring them along with your photographs to the tile showroom. Even if you have already decided on a design, coming across a new idea or tweaking a design at this stage is ideal.
Although appointments are usually unnecessary, calling ahead to set an appointment is not a bad idea.
The Visit
On your first visit to a tile showroom, present your ideas, photographs, magazine clippings, color samples, measurements and budget to a showroom representative. Doing so is the most effective way to communicate your vision, and will streamline the process of selecting products. Be sure to ask whether your desired products are stocked locally, domestically, or overseas. Also ask about the lead time involved and plan your project schedule accordingly.
After making your selections, ask about care and maintenance requirements. Most tile is incredibly easy to clean and maintain, however some products require special care. Another important question to ask is whether the product or your project requires special installation techniques or materials. Certain specialty products have very specific installation guidelines that must be followed, and you will want to bring them to your contractor's attention.
Last, but not least, if a return visit is required, try to speak with the same showroom representative on your next visit.
