Dodgers move forward sans Belisario
Standout reliever remains in Venezuela with visa issues
PHOENIX -- Ask any Dodgers official for an update on the status of reliever Ronald Belisario and the answer has been the same since Spring Training opened: "No update."Belisario never made it out of his native Venezuela. Last year, he also was late because of visa problems, but showed up after two weeks and somehow spent the entire season as one of the top rookies in the Major Leagues. The difference this year is that Belisario's visa status was complicated by a driving under the influence charge filed against him last summer after a traffic stop in Pasadena, Calif. Belisario recently pleaded guilty to a lesser charge through an attorney, prompting speculation that the pitcher would soon show up, but it hasn't happened. As a visa matter, it is handled by the U.S. State Dept. What Dodgers officials will say is, with only a week and a half to go until Opening Day, Belisario is not expected to be on the Opening Day roster. One likely bullpen replacement for Belisario is Rule 5 Draft pick Carlos Monasterios, a friend of Belisario's from Venezuela. Veteran Ramon Ortiz is another, especially after another solid inning of relief on Thursday. Not that the Dodgers don't want Belisario back after the way he pitched last year, when he made the club almost in spite of himself. Signed as a Minor League free agent off the recommendation of scout Ron Rizzi -- who saw Belisario's nasty sinker on display in the Venezuelan Winter League -- the right-hander showed up for Spring Training two weeks late because of those visa issues.

The Nova Southeastern men's basketball team won its final regular-season game of the season Saturday, defeating the Barry Buccaneers 61-57 on the road.
The win placed the Sharks sixth in the upcoming Sunshine State Conference tournament.
Lukas Roesch led the Sharks with 17 points on 7-for-13 shooting.
He scored the final bucket of the game, which put the Sharks (15-11, 7-9) up by four points with 11 seconds left.
Iran Hollis and Brian Cahill each had a team-best nine rebounds.
Cahill also chipped in a game-high six assists. Justin Jeangerard added 13 points and seven rebounds.
"This game was about toughness, it was about heart, it was about pride," Nova Southeastern coach Gary Tuell said. "All the things you don't know your team has until they compete. It wasn't always pretty; we had too many turnovers. In the end, we did what we have been doing for the last eight games, we had fun. I've never been more proud of a team than this one."
The Sharks controlled the first half against Barry (13-13, 6-10) but did not run away with the game. Barry had its only lead of the game just 30 seconds in at 3-2, but the Sharks responded with a 10-3 run. Barry came within a point of the Sharks but never took the lead. NSU led at the break 30-24.
Six minutes into the second half, NSU secured its first double-digit lead at 43-33 on a Roesch layup with 14:51 remaining. Four minutes later, Sean Mullan hit a three-point shot to give NSU its largest lead at 53-41.
From there, the Sharks allowed the home team to slowly creep back into the contest.
Barry responded to Mullan's three-pointer with a 10-2 run, caused by by four consecutive turnovers without a single shot attempt.
The situation only worsened when Hollis, the team's leading scorer and rebounder this season, fouled out with 3:36 left to play.
Barry salvaged a split in a Sunshine State Conference softball doubleheader at Saint Leo's University Stadium. The Lions the first game 5-3, but the Buccaneers rallied for a 4-2 victory in the nightcap.
Trailing 2-0 in the top of the seventh inning, Barry (12-7, 1-2 SSC) rallied for four runs, including a three-run double by Julie Brito that gave the Bucs the lead. Kelly Martinez added an RBI single to score Brito.
Alexis Yohe (5-3) set the Lions down in order in the bottom of the inning to complete the game and earn the win.
In seven innings, she allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and five walks and struck out five.
Ashley Ehlers (2-2) worked two-thirds of an inning and allowed three runs on three hits and a walk to get tagged with the loss.
The Bucs rallied from 2-0 down to take a 3-2 lead in the first game, when Brito belted her second homer of the season in the fifth inning. But Saint Leo's Kelsey LaNeave answered with a two-run homer of her own in the sixth as the Lions prevailed.
Ehlers earned the win with 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief. She gave up a hit and a walk and struck out two.
Britney Pugh (1-2) was tagged with the loss, giving up three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk in 3 2/3 innings.
The Bucs go back on the road Tuesday as they tackle the Saints of Flagler College in St. Augustine.

How Killzone: Mercenary plans to be a console-quality handheld FPS
By Dave Tach on Aug 05, 2013 08.05.13
The design of Sony's PlayStation Vita suggests that the line between console, handheld and mobile games doesn't have to be so thick. The Vita sports two analog sticks, like the consoles that came before it. In a nod to the smartphone and tablet revolution of the last half decade its display doubles as a touchscreen. Even the backside of the handheld includes a giant pasture for touch input. But there's at least one dominant genre that hasn't made a smooth transition to the PS Vita. Despite the graphical leaps over its PSP predecessor, despite is dual analog sticks, since its early 2012 release, there haven't been many first-person shooters. And those that have been released haven't been lauded with praise. Resistance: Burnings Skies earned a 6.5/10 and Call of Duty: Black Ops...

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified review: dishonorable discharge
By RussFrushtick on Jan 09, 2013 01.09.13
The single-player missions fail on multiple fronts. Enemy A.I. is not bad so much as it is absent. Upon walking into a room, guards march to their designated spots while firing mindlessly in your direction. They won't take cover. They won't try to flank you. They will stand there, firing away, waiting to die. Missions in Declassified feel more like shooting tin cans than trying to outwit an enemy force. If there is a challenge to be found, it's that there are no checkpoints Map design matches the lows hit by the A.I. Most of the maps are composed of ugly square rooms or environments. The dynamic mission design of most Call of Duty games, which sees players commanding air strikes or piloting helicopters, is replaced by an hour-long room-to-room turkey hunt. If there is...

Treyarch prepares for influx of 'Christmas Noobs' in Black Ops 2
By Dave Tach on Dec 18, 2012 12.18.12
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 developer Treyarch's in-game message of the day asks experienced players to take it easy on newcomers who'll be joining the fight when they get the game this Christmas. "Let's talk Christmas Noobs," the message from Team Treyarch reads. "It's that time of the year again where thousands of new players join the online ranks for the first time. We'd ask you to go easy on the Christmas Noobs, but we know you won't." The message also suggests that "Christmas Noobs" join the Boot Camp playlist, which "is the best place for a new player" to learn the game by playing "AI-controlled opponents." Since its release last month, Treyarch has taken steps to balance the multiplayer aspect of Black Ops 2, though appealing directly to players is a new approach. A patch...

PlayStation VP of marketing says Sony focusing on PlayStation Plus and PS3, Vita content
By Samit Sarkar on Oct 29, 2012 10.29.12
Sony plans to focus on PlayStation Plus as well as the PlayStation 3's and PlayStation Vita's content libraries in holiday-season marketing, said John Koller, the company's vice president of marketing for consoles and handhelds, in an interview with GamesIndustry International. The PlayStation 3 may lack heavy-hitting exclusives on the level of Halo 4 this year. But Koller touted the big picture, focusing on the console's existing library of top-tier games and the ones due out in 2013. "You're buying into a system that has not only a great holiday ahead of it," he said, "but also a great future ahead of it over the next few years" — a future including games such as Naughty Dog's The Last of Us and Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified developer Nihilistic reorganizing to focus on online and mobile games
By Tracey Lien on Oct 17, 2012 10.17.12
Nihilistic Software, the studio behind Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, Resistance: Burning Skies, and PlayStation Move Heroes is re-organizing itself to focus on downloadable, online, and mobile games. As part of the reorganization the studio is undergoing a name change and will now be known as nStigate. It will be abandoning retail boxed game development in favor of digital downloads. The studio wrote in an update on its website that it is undergoing this transition without any planned layoffs and without leaving behind any debts, but it also said that over the next few months the studio will "get leaner as some of our talent finds new homes, and emerge as a smaller and more focused company." Another studio that traditionally made games for PlayStation devices, LightBox, also...

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is tailor-made for the Vita, says Nihilistic
By Megan Farokhmanesh on Oct 14, 2012 10.14.12
Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is not meant to act as a port of previous Call of Duty games, but is an experience specifically targeted for the PlayStation Vita, Nihilistic Software CEO Robert Huebner told One of Swords. According to Huebner, Declassified isn't trying to center on a big campaign storyline or major cinematics. "It's more focused on the multiplayer essence of Call of Duty and bringing that to a portable device as completely as possible," Huebner said, "and in bringing short, objective-based missions and score-driven gameplay with lighter story elements to create what we call the Operations missions." "The goal was not to make a product that is a port of any past or present Call of Duty game, but to make a tailored experience for the Vita that adds new content and...
Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified has had a 'significant visual upgrade' since Gamescom, Nihilistic says
By Michael McWhertor on Oct 03, 2012 10.03.12
The Call of Duty game being created for the PlayStation Vita has been improving since its debut appearance at Gamescom in August, says Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified developer Nihilistic Software. "I think the most noticeable thing is a significant visual upgrade," says Nihilistic studio head Robert Huebner, "A richer color palette, more detailed models, and better lighting overall. Also we implemented an entirely new animation blending system that allows us to capture a lot of nuanced animation that Call of Duty players are accustomed to." Huebner highlights the importance of that improved animation in an interview with the official PlayStation blog. "You don't notice it all the time while you're playing," he says, "but when you drill down, Call of Duty has an insane number of...
'Black Ops: Declassified' uses old-school Create-A-Class, not Pick 10

Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified, the first Call of Duty outing on the Playstation Vita, won't be built around the Black Ops 2 timeline, innovative new multiplayer class system, or weapons, Activision reps told Polygon. Instead, the game's multiplayer will make use of the perks, weapons, and gameplay style of the original Black Ops. That's in part because the game itself takes place in the 60s, 70s, and 80s and is meant to tell the story of what happened after the original Black Ops in a series of Spec Ops-like single player missions. During a demo at Gamescom today, an Activision rep walked press through a lightning-fast demo of the game's features and then dropped into a 2 vs. 2 match-up on a map called Shattered.

To Hampstead Residents:
Thirty-five years ago, my wife and I had the privilege of being volunteers on the newly formed Hampstead Rescue Squad and worked out of a ratty old building that is now the Hampstead Police Station.
I would wager that, if 6,267 Hampstead voters would take a ten-minute tour of the Police Station and consider how little it would cost them for a new station, we would have a vote of 6,267 "Yeas".
The Police Chief summed it up — "It is time that the Town of Hampstead steps up to the plate and builds what is necessary for both the Officers and the residents of the Town."
Again, if you toured the Police Station, no question, you would vote yes on Article 5.
Sleep tight knowing your protected right.

The successful redevelopment
of Everglades Marina into the state-of-the-art Port Marina
& Condominium in Ft. Lauderdale marks a new era in dry
storage technology. Boaters with vessels of any size are
no longer required to take unnecessary risks leaving their
boats docked in the water or at forklift operated marinas.
Today's most effective dry storage marina
technology is the patented Vertical Yacht Storage System
(VYSS). Unlike traditional forklift based operations, VYSS
technology allows Marina owners to store any boat from an
18' open fisherman to a 90' express cruiser. Our system
offers haul and launch times as short as 3 minutes, depending
on specified equipment. And due to our patented design,
aisle space can be reduced four feet plus the length of
the boat. The Vertical Yacht Storage System allows you to
maximize profits by having the largest and heaviest boats
in every rack.
For the boat owner, our facilities offer
you reduced maintenance costs, easy in and out access, and
an enclosed facility providing a climate-controlled dust
free environment. Unlike traditional diesel powered forklift
based systems, our computer controlled lift system will
not damage your boat. Never before has this unprecedented
level of protection been possible.
For the Marina owner, the Vertical Yachts
team offers technology licensing, architectural & engineering
services, equipment design, fabrication and installation,
marina management, turnkey development services, and complete
staff training for the safe utilization of your state-of-the-art
facility. We can offer as little, or as much support as
you need to maximize the full potential of your marina operation.
We are committed to providing high quality service characterized
by integrity, economic benefits, accountability, and responsibility
to the clients we serve.
The patented VYSS system
uses a powerful combination of components to achieve rapid, laser-guided
precision lifting
and storage of boats using an adjustable secure boat cradle.
Peace of mind and stress-free boat ownership
are welcome benefits - especially in those locales plagued by
Vertical Yachts Storage Systems'
innovative technology has been developed to address major shifts
in both the yachting and waterfront real estate marketplaces.

Four adult males of Rothschild subspecies – eight-year old Pik and Periscope, four-year old Usmi and three-year old Kimi – now all live in a newly built, comfortable and spacious Giraffe House.
Meeting giraffes "in person" was quite an emotional experience. With legs of a man's height, giraffes walk quickly, and as one of them approaches us at a moment's notice and carefully bends down his head to examine us closer, it feels both odd and moving.
Curious yet shy, giraffes won't let us touch them, so mild voice and friendly look leave us the only way to communicate. They may seem silent, but in fact giraffes mostly "speak" at an infrasound level, inaudible for human's ear.

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