METAIRIE, La. — The first time Sean Payton and Drew Brees went to Chicago with the Saints, they left a cold, miserable day with a minus-four turnover differential and a season-ending 39-14 loss to the Bears.
One year later, they lost by eight points, but kept the turnover differential even.
And in 2008, the last time New Orleans played the Bears at Soldier Field, the Saints lost 27-24 in spite of being plus-one.
In other words, Payton knows just how much not turning the ball over means, especially when playing a defense annually ranked among the best in doing so.
That's a message he has delivered for much of this past week as the Saints (4-0) prepare for Sunday's noon game at Chicago.
"Time and time again, that is the number one stat in football and really if you look at the difference in the turnovers, that is going to lead you to the winner or loser of any given game," receiver Marques Colston said.
Chicago (3-1) leads the NFL in 2013 with 14 takeaways, including eight fumble recoveries. The Bears have produced at least three takeaways in every game this season and finished with five in a win over Pittsburgh. They've scored three of the team's 15 touchdowns on returns this season.
Since 2006, in fact, the Bears have forced fewer than 31 turnovers just once and have ended the season in the top five in taking the ball away six times.
"It's something that doesn't happen by accident," Payton said. "To have the numbers that they have is something that is obviously emphasized and worked on."
New Orleans has remained one of five undefeated teams by heeding Payton's directive to not give the ball away easily. Only four teams have turned it over fewer than the Saints' five this season and because of an opportunistic defense that has taken the ball away 10 times, New Orleans ranks among the league's best in differential this year at plus-five.
And those turnovers have turned into points. Of the 10 takeaways, four have resulted in touchdowns and another in a field goal. One ended in a Saints turnover and one in a punt. The other three ended games, allowing quarterback Drew Brees to kneel the ball down.
That's an advantage the Saints' defense understands it has with Brees at quarterback.
"Every turnover you get, you give him one more possession and that's one more opportunity to score and that separates games with him," safety Malcolm Jenkins said. "The more and more we can get him the football, the chances we are we're going to win that game."
Nevertheless, Sunday will be more about the Saints taking care of the ball.
Defensive back Charles Tillman is among the league's best in getting the ball out, forcing 10 fumbles in 2012 alone. This season, three players – linebacker Lance Briggs and defensive backs Major Wright and Tim Jennings – have each forced two fumbles. Tillman and Wright, meanwhile, have two interceptions apiece.
"You can tell just by watching film that it is a point of emphasis for them," Colston said. "They fly around and they get population around the football. It is just going to be one of those games where it is going to be a point of emphasis."

Hang tight!
Recipe by HerbanSpoons
"These burgers are juicy and full of flavor. Even people who don't really like lamb have enjoyed these burgers. You can double the recipe and freeze half of the patties in wax paper to eat at a later time. Fine to place on the grill frozen (just add to the cooking time)."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
ground lamb
1/2 pound
ground beef
3 tablespoons
chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon
minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon
minced garlic
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) container
Greek yogurt
lemon, zested
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon
1 large
sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
4 slices
green tomato
ciabatta sandwich rolls, sliced horizontally
1 (8 ounce) package
feta cheese, sliced
baby arugula leaves
These lamb burgers are the perfect combination of easy-with-wow factor and great for a group. It's worth the time to make the simple yogurt sauce to go with it, but I've used store-bought Tzatziki in a pinch too. Also, I love these with caramelized sweet onions and regular tomatoes on top, but what a great way to use all those green tomatoes! Fantastic recipe, as is!
This recipe has been a favorite of our Make-Ahead Mamas cooking group for over three years. We make it every summer during our Summer Grilling Cooking Party and it's a great gourmet alternative to a traditional hamburgers for your next BBQ.
To save time the day of your BBQ, make these ahead of time! Simply freeze the uncooked patties in a single layer on parchment paper on a cookie sheet, then stack the frozen patties in a freezer container or Ziploc Freezer bag. Thaw the day before your party, or cook the patties directly from the freezer (just add a few more minutes to the cooking time!). Delicious!

This was wonderful! Didn't alter any of the directions/ingredients and it turned out fabulously. My husband was just raving about these, will make it again!
Loved these, they were so easy and taste so good! Thank you!
These were tremendous, beautiful and deep flavours. I chose to not stuff them as I wanted nice flat burgers and they tend to round out in my opinion when stuffed. I simply added the cheese paste to the top of the burgers on the grill, turned out amazing. Used the Bobby Flay indented burger tops as well and came out with perfectly big, flat 1/3 lb burgers! Making them again tonight and thought I would drop a line.
We never had lamb burgers before and we loved this recipe. I did alter it, though. I omitted the mint and used chive and I the juice of 1/2 lemon into the meat. Moist and delicious. For the sauce I subbed sour cream for the yogurt as that is what I had on hand and I added chopped cucumber, the rest of the lemon juice and the garlic. We didn't have sliced feta, so we used crumbled on the bottom of the bun and put our burgers on top of the feta. My kids just loved these burgers!
Very workable, will do again.
I did double the garlic ( loves me garlic )
and used a crusty baguette ( see pic )

Dimi reaches another semi-final
Updated 4:35pm Thursday 23rd January 2014 in Sport
DIMI Mascarenhas took two wickets as Hobart Hurricanes clinched a Big Bash semi-final place.
Playing only his second game since recovering from a fractured jaw, the former Hampshire captain took 2-42 as Hobart finished their group campaign by winning what was effectively a quarter-final against Brisbane Heat.
Mascarenhas, the Hurricanes' assistant coach, helped ensure that they successfully defended their 209-7 by ending Brisbane's rapid 50-run opening partnership.
He took the crucial wicket of Craig Kieswetter, who was caught behind in Mascarenhas's third over, and then bowled Joe Burns three balls later before Brisbane limped to 169-8.
Hobart's 40-run win means they will play the unbeaten Melbourne Stars in their semi-final, when Mascaranheas will hope to make up for the disappointment of two last-four defeats in his last season with Hampshire.

Abstract—Deflection routing resolves output port contention in packet-switched multiprocessor interconnection networks by granting the preferred port to the highest priority packet and directing contending packets out other ports. When combined with optical links and switches, deflection routing yields simple bufferless nodes, high-bit rates, scalable throughput, and low latency. We discuss the problem of packet synchronization in synchronous optical deflection networks with nodes distributed across boards, racks, and cabinets. Synchronous operation is feasible due to very predictable optical propagation delays. A routing control processor at each node examines arriving packets and assigns them to output ports. Packets arriving on different input ports must be bit-wise aligned; there are no elastic buffers to correct for mismatched arrivals. "Time-of-flight" packet synchronization is done by balancing link delays during network design. Using a directed graph network model, we formulate a constrained minimization problem for minimizing link delays subject to synchronization and packaging constraints. We demonstrate our method on a ShuffleNet graph, and show modifications to handle multiple packet sizes and latency-critical paths.

PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush presents the first of five key matchups this week in advance of the Packers' Week Two game against the Panthers at Carolina Sunday.
Panthers WR Steve Smith vs. Packers cornerbacks
Smith, who looked like a man against boys matched up against Arizona's baby-faced CB corps in Carolina's season opener, figures to face a much greater challenge this Sunday, even though Green Bay's top-grade corners were definitely off their game in the season opener against the Saints.
Drew Brees carved up the Packers' pass defense to the tune of 396 yards, converting 9-of-14 third-down opportunities. RCB Tramon Williams, who was flawless much of last season, had an uncharacteristic breakdown on Robert Meachem's 31-yard TD catch and injured his shoulder (check status). If he is unable to play, more pressure to contain Smith will be put on Sam Shields, Charles Woodson and possibly Pat Lee.
Shields picked up in the opener where he left off in training camp and preseason with a very inconsistent effort. Woodson was equally lackluster and was obviously frustrated, as evidenced by the punches he threw at Saints TE David Thomas, which are likely to result in a league fine.
Smith caught eight of the 11 passes thrown to him by rookie QB Cam Newton for 178 yards (22.3 ypc) and a pair of scores for 77 and 26 yards. Undersized but fearless, Smith battles for his catches as hard as any receiver in the league and has always had a knack for coming up with big plays. After the Panthers almost pulled off an upset in the desert, Smith raved about Newton, with whom it appears he has quickly developed a strong rapport.

Discovery orders its first scripted mini-series
NEW YORK (AP) - The Discovery network has ordered its first scripted miniseries and it isn't much of a stretch. It's about hunting for gold.
The series, titled "Klondike," is about six strangers in the1890s whose lives intersect as they search for gold in Alaska. It is based on the Charlotte Gray novel "Gold Diggers: Striking it Rich in the Klondike" and production will start in March in Alberta, Canada.
Discovery currently has three reality series about hunting for gold, two based in Alaska and one in Ghana.
Discovery hasn't named any actors involved or set an airdate.

Gas Overview Transcript
Gas is a key energy source for most of the world's countries particularly as they are moving to a less carbon-intensive energy generation mix.
It's also going to be key to providing flexibility needed for most of the countries in the world as renewables become a much larger part of the energy generation mix.
The industry itself is also extremely dynamic and is moving very fast now from the old monopoly structures where gas was produced by one company, moved through a pipeline, and sold to a dedicated buyer. It's now become a truly global commodity and a globally traded commodity.

Market overview
Gas: Market overview
Updated to Q3 2014
European natural gas prices are expected to remain weak for the duration of Q3 2014, pressured by reduced demand from storage injections. Tanks for winter reserves have been filled much faster than in previous years – as they were not depleted much during the previous winter – which means there will be little need to inject into stores.
Should arrivals of LNG continue at the pace seen over Q2 2014, then wholesale hub prices should succumb to even more pressure.
The weakness of the prompt and near curve is expected to lead gas traders to also deal winter-delivery contracts lower, although the downside here is not expected to be as great as on shorter-term products.
During Q3 2014, the British NBP is expected to receive first gas from the Laggan and Tormore fields, located in the West of Shetland region. When the French Total-operated fields hit peak production in 2015, they will supply the hub around 14 million cubic metres/day.

About Gas
Natural gas is commonly produced alongside oil or other hydrocarbons and can also be found deep underground within rock formations. An increasing amount of gas production stems from non-conventional sources, such as from coal-bed seams or from within shale formations. Natural gas is predominantly formed of methane.
Uses include acting as a raw material for power generation, a source of heating and a chemical feedstock for organic chemicals or plastics.
Natural gas is predominantly odourless but varying odorant may be added depending on the specific country to alert users of a leak. Gas normally dissipates in the event of a leak but can cause an explosion as it becomes flammable when mixed with air.
Natural gas is transported by pipelines which can run along the seabed or underground, potentially transporting the energy source thousands of miles. The fuel moves at a speed of around 25km/hour through the pipe.
It is typically stored in depleted gas reservoirs or salt caverns. A certain volume of gas is kept within pipeline networks in order to maintain pressure. This is called linepack.

Steve Czaban
Years ago, my business partner Matt Miller came to my office and said, I want you to take a look at Steve Czaban. I said, Who? Matt said, Youll love this guy; hes hilarious and incredibly talented. Since Matt is a guru when it comes to spotting great sports talent, my ears perked up. So after listening to Steve on WTEM-AM in Washington D.C., we agreed that Steve was smart, quick, entertaining, irreverent, and clearly one of the funniest guys in Sports Radio. Steves dry sense of humor and brilliant style made listening to Sports Radio enjoyable. Dont get me wrong, I love sports. Im just a believer that Sports Radio should be informative and entertaining. As one of the hardest-working men in radio, Steve hosts a national morning show on Yahoo Sports Radio Network and a local afternoon show on WTEM-AM. His following is huge and his fan base as loyal as it gets. If you listen, youll be hooked too.
Now, in his own words, Steve Czaban tells us how he got into radio
My love affair with radio really began at our student-run radio station at UC Santa Barbara, a veritable powerhouse of wattage blanketing the entire four square-mile area of campus. It was the perfect place to start as I had zero experience. I had already signed on with the college newspaper, covering the sports beat reporting on the various UCSB athletic teams. The student-run radio station was in the same building as the newspaper, so I figured as long as I was there I would check it out. The next thing I know, some idiot let me check out the equipment, and I was off and running!
The first game I called was a water polo game. Yes, water polo. What did I know about the sport? Nothing. Could I make out the names of the players as they splashed about the pool? Barely. So what? I had equipment and a buddy doing color commentary, and the students walking to class listening to the station (all seven of them) had live water polo action, poolside! Life was good.
From there we started covering nearly every school sport. I remember coming back from a time-out during a volleyball game and literally freezing, watching the clock tick by as I remained inexplicably quiet for what was about 30 seconds or so, but felt like a lifetime. About 20 seconds into my Marcel Marceau impression my on-air partner elbowed me in the ribs and mouthed ARE YOU...HAVING...A SEIZURE?!!
I was energized by the medium of radio. While my sports column in the student newspaper stood among countless other articles and photographs, radio was literally an empty canvas that required great creativity to fill. To me, it was by far the most challenging and rewarding of the sports media outlets.
They would let us broadcast sporting events at the station when possible, and they even had a little kitty of money to allow us to travel to report on school sporting events. When their Division III football program was re-instated, I would travel with them. Im pretty sure the student radio station had more money than the football program. The team got a batch of day-old sandwiches from the dorm cafeterias (free!) and we'd stop at a state park to eat them on picnic benches. There we were, some 90 or so mediocre football players, and one aspiring play-by-play man stretching out in the middle of a 12-hour bus trip to Chico, California. Beautiful.
I went back home to the D.C. area after college, still not sure what to do. But before I had left school I put my hat in the ring for the UCSB basketball play-by-play job on KTMS-AM. In 1992, KTMS hired me to do the Gauchos' play-by-play, doing morning sports updates and a one-hour daily talk show from 6-7 p.m. In Southern California there was a great mix of sports and sports stations, including the Mighty 690 and Hacksaw Hamilton. Later, when I joined One-On-One Sports, I was able to hear local Chicago shows like Steve Dahl who became a big influence stylistically. Already a fan of Don & Mike from back east, I could feel all the early influences melding together into the style of Sports Talk I enjoy doing to this day.

CHAPEL HILL — On film, at least, Virginia looked formidable. North Carolina's players and coaches never believed the Cavaliers were as bad as the record they brought into Kenan Stadium on Saturday, and so the Tar Heels were wary and cautious.
"They're a good team on film," Kareem Martin, the UNC senior defensive end, said on Saturday after the Tar Heels' 45-14 victory against the Cavaliers, "and we knew that if we came out here playing flat, that they would be able to exploit us and maybe come out here with a win."
UNC also knew, Martin said, that a fast start might bury Virginia, which arrived with six consecutive losses and left after extending that streak of futility. UNC (4-5, 3-3) knew that a defensive stop followed by a touchdown might lead to another, and then another, and that before long, the hapless Cavaliers (2-8, 0-6) might fold.
And that's pretty much what happened here on Saturday, when UNC built a 14-0 first-quarter lead and never allowed Virginia in the game. At one point this season, the Tar Heels appeared headed for the same dismal place where Virginia finds itself. The victory on Saturday, though, was UNC's third consecutive.
Earlier in the week, the Tar Heels talked among themselves about not looking past another opponent. They believed they had in September against East Carolina, and the Pirates then spent the next three hours embarrassing UNC before leaving town with a 55-31 victory.
UNC believed it learned a lesson that day. What the Tar Heels did on Saturday provided some proof.
"We talked about that," Larry Fedora, UNC's second-year coach, said on Saturday. "You have to feel like (Virginia's) morale or their confidence is shaky. And so you want to try to jump on them early – just kind of keep that foot on their neck the whole way."
The Tar Heels did that in a variety of ways. They scored touchdowns on offense, on defense and special teams. Marquise Williams, the third-year sophomore quarterback who made his second career start, threw for a touchdown, caught one and then ran for one.
By the time the Cavaliers scored, they trailed 28-7 with about five minutes remaining in the third quarter. They had a glimmer of hope, too, after intercepting Williams on UNC's next possession, but the momentum was short-lived.
After the turnover, on a 2nd-and-9 play, Virginia quarterback David Watford rolled to his right. He attempted a short pass to his left, back toward the middle of the field, but Dominque Green, a freshman safety, stepped in front of it and returned the interception 62 yards for a touchdown that deflated the Cavaliers.
"In my mindset I was thinking, just score – just go score," Green said. "… I (haven't) scored a touchdown since Pop Warner football. So it felt good."
Williams, a former standout at Mallard Creek High in Charlotte, wore a No. 2 jersey in honor of Bryn Renner, the senior quarterback who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in a victory last week at N.C. State. Williams passed for 185 yards, ran for 46 more and accounted for four touchdowns.
His touchdown reception, which came on a 29-yard pass from sophomore Quinshad Davis, gave UNC a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Davis received a pitch on an end around and Williams was wide open down the right side.
"I was just praying to God – please don't let me drop this ball," said Williams, who became the first UNC quarterback since 1984 to catch a touchdown pass.
While the Tar Heels' offense had its way early, UNC's defense continued its midseason reversal. UNC earlier this season could rarely go a half without surrendering a long, game-changing play, but in the past three games, including the one Saturday, the Tar Heels haven't allowed those.
Virginia's longest play on Saturday was a 35-yard pass and the Cavaliers, who averaged 3.8 yards per play and generated 316 total yards, ended their first five drives with punts. Ryan Switzer, the UNC freshman receiver, returned the last of those for an 85-yard touchdown that gave the Tar Heels a 21-0 lead.
At first, Switzer dropped the punt, but he said the ball bounced right back up and into his hands. He ran past two Virginia players, broke one tackle around UNC's own 30-yard line and another near the Virginia 40. The return, Switzer said, came on his "favorite play," and it resulted in what he described as a "convoy" that escorted him to the end zone.
The Tar Heels went ahead 28-0 early in the third quarter and, by then, it was just a matter of time.
About three weeks ago, the Tar Heels were 1-5. They had just suffered the most difficult of their losses – a last-second defeat against Miami that left UNC shaken. Since, UNC hasn't lost, and now the Tar Heels can even their record with a victory next week at Pittsburgh.
"We have a don't give up attitude – bend but don't break," Martin, the defensive end, said. "Guys could have packed it in. Younger guys could have worried about other things, older guys could have worried about whatever's going on after the last game. But we decided as a team that we have goals, and we still want to meet them."

The biggest GOP party is now underway in the Sunshine State. Limited government tea partiers, gun-toting individualists, pro-life activists and defense hawks have all descended on Tampa this week.
So how do aspiring young campaign operatives network through the red, white and blue confetti? Here are a few pointers to show you the way.
The Ever-Fashionable Business Card: Even if you're just a recent college grad or you're in between jobs, click on that Vistaprint ad on your Pandora station or stop by FedEx Kinko's and create your own business card with your personal information.
You don't need a job or a title, but you do need your most current contact information to hand out, especially if you're looking to make professional connections. Be sure to put on your Twitter handle or LinkedIn address on the card, too. However, I'd dissuade you from adding new acquaintances as Facebook friends until you get know them. Facebook is more personal networking than professional networking.
Know What You Want to Achieve: What are you trying to get out of networking at the convention? Keeping in mind your purpose will help you spend your time wisely and will help you choose the right people to meet. Are you looking to join a campaign or work for the state party? Then connect with the delegates from the places you want to go. Get on every email lists you can so you're in the know (you can always unsubscribe later), and ask around about the right receptions to attend (there will be many).
Most importantly, always ask people who else you should be speaking to. If you're not meeting the people you want to, finding them may be as simple as asking the people you are meeting. Some basic questions: Who else should I be talking to in this field? Are they here? Can you connect me? People love being asked for advice and most people enjoy helping others out too. A good networker will take you under their wing and introduce you to worthwhile individuals.
Get the Dress Code Right: This is especially important for women. Every year at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), I see these pretty young things walking around in napkin-size miniskirts, Kim Kardashian heels and pearls. If you're trying to look like office Barbie, dress like that; however, if you want to be taken seriously and make professional connections, drop the hem of your skirt, watch how low your neckline is, and keep the pearls.
You want to be remembered for being classy not trashy. And gentlemen, dress business casual. Ties are not expected, but think khaki pants and a nice button down, and please keep your shirt tucked in.
Remember Names and Faces: You are going to be bombarded with tons of faces and names, any you may be thinking how in the heck can I remember them all? It will be difficult, but by remembering someone's name, you will stand out, especially when you run into them multiple times during the week. My suggestion is when you are introduced to someone, repeat their name to make sure you got it right, while looking them in the eye. This will help your mind create space in your memory for the person.
Also, find some piece of identifiable clothing or characteristic on that person that starts with the first letter of their name. Once your conversation is over and you've exchanged contact information, write that word on the back of the business card. This should help you remember them when following up.
Add to Your Network: The acquaintance becomes a connection when you actually follow up with the person and reach out after a convention. I recommend a handwritten note on nice stationary for those individuals you want to stay in the closest touch with. Email will suffice as a quality follow-up for most individuals, and especially if time is of the essence and you want to receive a quick response. When emailing, make sure it's not a standard email that you can cut and paste for the next person you met, but personalize it and touch on some points you discussed at the convention. This is also why genuinely listening to people when you are introduced is of the utmost importance.
Another thing to keep in mind for young professionals in Tampa this week: "Would [whatever it is I might be about to do] land me on the front page of the Washington Post?" If the answer is yes—don't do it! That should help ensure a successful and productive convention.
Sarah B. Smith is the vice president of the Young Conservatives Coalition, veteran of many GOP campaigns, and a nonprofit development professional.
Dave S. / Aug 29 2012
Very helpful stuff. I would just add one thing: when following up, especially in this day in age, a handwritten note is one of the only ways you can really stand out. If you meet someone even halfway important at a national convention, imagine how many emails they will get the next week from people they met. If you send an email at the wrong time it ends up buried in someone's inbox. I always remember and am impressed by someone who follows up with a handwritten note.

All I have to say is that those of us who worried, worried needlessly. (no spoilers)
I believe the stars and the director and every member of the film crew upheld Star Trek in it's most cherished traditions. Suprisingly, for an old die hard trekkie, I felt right at home. I think Pine's Kirk was excellent, I particularly enjoyed the characters of Kirk and Pike and their interaction. There were some very nice surprises, and some of the stuff I was really looking forward to didn't turn out to be all that important to the plot, but were still cool. My only dissapointments were a couple of rough editing points that were distracting, other than that, nothing. I was excited and thrilled from the first moment. Respect was shown to what went before, in more ways than one. I have no complaints about that. Just one little tiny detail bothered me, being the caretaker of a handicapped individual. But it had no affect on the entertainment factor of the film, which was immense. All in all a marvellous motion picture, and most enjoyable. Considering that my great love for Star Trek might color my rating of the film somewhat, I'm going to try and overlook that factor and be as brutally honest as I know how to be as I would with any other film and rate it at 3 and 1/2 out of five stars. Not immaculate, (few films even come close to that) but really, really good.

CAGcast #209: Calling All Farts!
Posted 19 August 2010 - 04:53 PM
Now I maybe wrong, but this is how I've understood the Crackdown 2 timeline with Realtime/Ruffian:
Feb. 07- Crackdown comes out
Summer/Fall 07- Crackdown is a huge hit, not just for the Halo 3 beta. Major Nelson and other media talk about the game constantly, sold millions of copies, and Realtime asks Microsoft about making a sequel. MS execs above Major Nelson level think it's just because of the Halo 3 beta and pass.
Fall 07/Summer 08- Realtime needs to make something to keep the doors open so APB is announced are development started.
Fall 08/Spring 09- Microsoft finally decides to have a Crackdown 2 to strenghen their weaking lineup of exclusives. The brass at Realtime, deep in production with APB, say it's too late. A few lower level execs and a group of workers from Realtime, perhaps seeing the writing on the wall, decide to splinter off and form a new company, Ruffian Games, with its first project being Crackdown 2.
Oct. 09 ish- Crackdown 2 development begins.
June/July 2010- APB releases and the game is not super polished at launch and fails for all the reasons already stated, and Crackdown 2 comes out and sells nearly a million units worldwide in less than a month even though most reviews state it's not a very revolutionary sequel.

Anyway, good show guys. It seems that Mass Effect 2 is being brought over to PS3 to encourage interest to the eventual Mass Effect 3 multiplatform launch. Still, it seems a little strange to not bring the first game over. While you don't need prior knowledge to play most game sequels, Mass Effect is a very story driven game. I know that when I was playing through Mass Effect 2 with my imported character, I was looking forward to speaking to my old crew. These appearances probably won't be as meaningful to newcomers.
By the way, I never read the Boat Crash Chronicles, but now I'm glad they were mentioned.

I agree with Wombat about what Kotaku does or doesn't do isn't worthy of discussion on CAG.
Any possibility of an Andriod CAG app?
I agree with Cheapy. The song list for Guitar Hero is awful compared to Rock Band. Adding the keytar really opened up their song list to stuff that wouldn't otherwise work without it (like Werewolves of London!)
Oh... I'd like to be entered into the draw for the code.

I also never played Mass Effect 1 and only played Mass Effect 2. I did feel a little foggy at first but after the first couple hours I was hooked in enough to call in sick to work to play it. Easily one of the best games I have ever played in my life. I only wish we got a game every year of that quality and I am happy for PS3 owners to play it.

And to touch on Scott Pilgrim. Fucking Awesome movie. The visuals, transitions, and sounds were all incredibly entertaining. This coming from someone that hates Michael Cera; so if your hatred for him is why you aren't seeing it; go ahead and put that behind you temporarily and see this movie.
And Shipwreck! Dude...Hot Fuzz is the shit! You need to make it a priority to see that.
I agree with Cheapy about Hitman! Where the is it?! I played the dog shit out of Blood Money!
During the discussion about changing the main character in a game, you mentioned Dead Space, Wombat, but you didn't mean to. However, After playing it on the PC and catching a glimpse of what Isaac looked like in the very beginning of the game (apparently you aren't supposed to be able to, but it's broke) I hope they do change his appearance. He looked like a total goob.

It's not pronounced Laura?! Well, I'm from Ohio too so I guess that explains it? So it's pronounced Lah-Rah instead of Lor-Rah? I always have had unique pronunciations...

On the topic of Scott Pilgrim, I've read the books (loved them!!) and I'm eagerly awaiting the Xbox Live Arcade version of the game. I'm only a bit hesitant to see the movie because of Michael Cera... The thing is, I like him and I've liked the movies he's been in before, but the Scott Pilgrim character is more or less spastic, self-confident, energetic and just generally outgoing which is pretty much the exact opposite of the characters Michael Cera usually plays. I'm still gonna see it regardless, and I personally think anybody who hates Michael Cera should give the movie a chance... If any movie were to change your opinion of him even temporarily, this should be the one.
Also, I do wish they'd get on with the PSP2 or whatever successor may be in the works. The mediocre "improvements" they've been adding to each new variant have yet to justify upgrading from my old PSP-1000 to a 2000, 3000, or God-forbid a PSP-Go (never!). Personally, with the 3DS on the horizon and the console cycle starting to stretch, I think a well planned PSP2 launch -- with some sort of actual analog/slider and storage/media improvements -- could be closer than we think.
(mono train!!)

VIENNA - The Trumbull County Bar Association honored several of its members for their years of service and others who have helped the association through their work.
The annual awards banquet and installation of officers was held recently at Avalon Inn at Squaw Creek.
Honored for 25 years of service were Elizabeth Bernard, Elise Burkey, Susan Collins, Thomas Letson, Charles Morrow, John Pico, Jeanette Plesich, Edward Smith and Patrick Wilson.
Honored for 10 years of service are Jami Bishop, Enzo Cantalamessa, and Marty Nosich.
The President's Award, which recognizes an individual for outstanding achievements and accomplishments that have benefited the bar association, was presented to attorney Daniel Thomas.
Thomas told the members to always keep their legal integrity and represent your client the best that you can.
"Remember to be fair and honest because that is what this practice is all about. We want to show people that we have integrity," he said.
Thomas said when an attorney goes into a judge's chambers what you want is a fair shake.
"Never ask a judge for something you don't think you deserve or don't feel you are entitled to," Thomas said.
The Appreciation Award, which is presented to a non-attorney in the community who provides outstanding service to the legal profession, was presented to Jim Economos, owner of The Saratoga in Warren.
Economos provides food for many of the association's meetings and events and has become a friend to the bar association by making their lives easier.
Economos said he has many members of the association come to his restaurant and created a "lawyer's table" back in the 1960s.
Jason Earnhart, who had served as president this past year, passed the gavel to new association president, Shibani Sheth-Massacci.
Other officers for the year include Joshua Garris as vice president / president-elect, Pamela Rintala, secretary, and Patrick Wilson, treasurer.
Earnhart said he will provide support to the new officers and welcomes new blood to the roles.
Sheth-Massacci said the annual holiday drive to help Someplace Safe has started by the association.

Hey, this is not really a post. I am just wondering: how come so few people comment on posts at ZBlogs? Usually it's only about every fourth post or less that people comment on. Whereas at other blogs typically you have many comments on a substantive post. And it can't just simply be that there are less contributors: people are here writing their own posts.
What do the administrators see as the purpose of this blog? ZNet is one of the best sites politically on the internet that I know of, but it's hard to find motivation to post blog entry after blog entry here when there appears to be almost no one reading them.
I think the administrators should try to make the blog more readable. My advice: put more than ten blog entries on the blog page, and instead of automatically showing what is in the "description" box on the blog page, make the default behavior to list the first paragraph or two of the blog post on the main page. That way there will be more text to get people interested in the post. (You could still have the description box as an option if people wanted a different description than the first few paragraphs.)

PLYMOUTH, WA – NBC Right Now spoke with a former boss at the Williams plant in Plymouth, who tells us he thinks the explosion was never in danger of becoming a much bigger catastrophe.
As the investigation into Monday's explosion continues we are left with many questions. NBC Right Now is getting answers to concerns like 'How could those active flames so close to the leaking tank not ignite and explode?'
Homer Stevens was actually the plant's first superintendent. He ran the Williams facility at Plymouth for over a decade before retiring back in the 80's. We met with him and examined our aerial shots of the burning plant. He says this is something he never thought he would see.
"Nothing like this, no," explained Stevens when we asked if anything like Monday's explosion had happened before. He has not worked at the Williams plant for years, but he says the storage process of the gas has not changed much.
"It's like a big thermos bottle. There's an outer tank and an inner tank and there's 5.5 feet of insulation between those two."
Following the explosion shrapnel flew into the tank causing natural gas in a liquid form to leak. Stevens says there are plenty of safety features built in to prevent further catastrophe.
"If the tank just opened up, the liquid would simply go into that big burm and vapor off."
Essentially a giant catch basin surrounds the plant. Hypothetically the liquid would be caught and safely dissipate into the air before it could ignite.
"It can't explode, this gas?" we asked,
"And why is that?"
"Well because it's a minus 260 degree Fahrenheit."
Stevens explains it is much more dangerous when that cold liquid becomes a gas. Yesterday's explosion near the compressor that keeps the gas cold did injure five workers, including Mike Yunker who was taken to a Portland Hospital for burn treatment. He also happens to be a good friend of Stevens.
"(I was) concerned about the employees more than anything. Mechanics can be fixed; people can't sometimes."
After his years of running the plant, Stevens says seeing the images of the aftermath and what the workers were dealing with nearly broke his heart.
"They're almost family. I hated to see it that's for sure."
While Stevens firmly believes there was never a chance of a second or bigger explosion from the gas, the cause of that first explosion at the plant is still under investigation. NBC Right Now will keep you updated on all of the latest as the details are revealed.

CHARITY MATTERS: Couple to run in aid of their god-daughter
5:00pm Tuesday 9th October 2012 in News
A couple from Southmoor are getting ready to run 10 miles for their nine-year-old god-daughter, who has type one diabetes.
Steve and Leanne Jones, will run in the Great South Run in Southsea on Sunday, October 28, to raise money for the Diabetes UK charity.
Their god-daughter Sophie Beale was diagnosed with diabetes four years ago.
Mrs Jones, 41, a science technician at Faringdon Community College, said: "Sophie controls her diabetes by injecting four times a day which is a lot to take on for such a young girl, but she manages brilliantly.
"She has recently joined her school cross country team and plays netball and tag rugby, so certainly has no intention of letting her condition hold her back.
"We are very proud of her."
Diabetes destroys or impairs the body's ability to produce insulin, the hormone which regulates how sugar is processed in the body.
As a results, sufferers have to inject insulin at regular intervals and keep an eye on how much sugar is in their diet.

Vari-Lite Inc. has entered into a partnership with TSP, granting the Moscow-based dealer exclusive rights to the sale of VARI*LITE® products in Russia. Through the distribution agreement, Russian customers will, for the first time, have direct local access to sales, service and support of VARI*LITE products, including the Series 2000TM product line and the new VL1000TM ellipsoidal reflector spotlight.
"The Russian market is very important. It is a sophisticated market and we are excited about it's potential," says Vari-Lite vice president of sales and marketing Bob Schacherl. "It is vital that we have well-known and financially sound partners to work with, which is where TSP comes in. TSP is deeply involved with both the theater and rental markets, so they are an excellent fit to represent our entire range of products."
TSP is a distribution company founded by industry veterans Andrei Miroshnichenko, Nick Mordassov and Sergei Turin. The company will sell VARI*LITE automated lighting products to rental and installation companies throughout Russia. TSP is planning an open house, dates for which have not been finalized.
"There is a tremendous amount of entrepreneurial activity taking place in Russia right now. There are a lot of theaters, a growing club scene, and the touring industry shares a lot of similarities with Western civilization," says Mordassov. "The customers understand quality. Having access to VARI*LITE products means something more than just buying automated lights, it is the ability to own the best lights available. There is a feeling that goes along with that that cannot be explained."

A preview trailer leading up to the broadcast said that, when you think Arizona, you think heat, snakes, cacti - and All-Stars. When I think Arizona, I think heat, snakes, cacti, mesas, broken-down rusty trucks, and basically a lot of things you associate with heat. Dry creek beds. Cow skulls. Scorpions. Hard taco shells, which are so much worse than soft taco shells. "Yeah I like my food to collapse completely as soon as I try to eat it." You eat wrong.
By the way, if it feels like there are more All-Stars this year than usual, you're not wrong. After all the injuries and ineligibles, they were really left scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Chris Berman has done an embarrassing job of trying to get everybody in the stadium excited, by asking every possible section if they are ready. He didn't so much ask them as he did scream at them. The response was tepid.
The participants were then announced soon thereafter, and each of them drew audible boos. I don't think the people who paid for tickets even want to be watching this. Arizonans have so much disposable income they literally don't know what to do with it.
And now we've begun, with Adrian Gonzalez leading off for the American League team. Gonzalez is currently playing for both Team American League and Team Adrian Gonzalez. If you think about it, all of these participants are multitasking.
David Ortiz just ran up and interrupted Gonzalez's set by offering him a drink of fruit punch Gatorade. I am drinking a fruit punch Gatorade! Just like the stars!
Gonzalez finished his first round with nine home runs, which would've been sufficient for him to advance to the second round a year ago. Six also would've been sufficient. So that's it, right? The derby is over now?

I spoke to the owner and she mentioned April 15th. Since that date has come and gone, perhaps they will open in the next couple of weeks. She is hoping her loyal customers will return. I know we will.

Their Seafood and Tofu Soup used to be a staple of my wife's. Nice folks!
