Facing elimination, Kevin Durant is having one of his worst nights of the postseason, shooting just 2 for 11 from the field with 12 points as the Grizzlies lead, 50-38, at the half.
Durant was somewhat absent, missing his first six attempts, a combination of the typical grit/grind Memphis defense and a surprisingly cold evening from the guy with three scoring titles. He got his points due to frequent trips to the line, although his three misses from the line were uncharacteristic for a guy who typically shoots around 90 percent from there.
On the other side, Zach Randolph was exactly as the Grizzlies want him: bullish, nifty, and irascible around the hoop, scoring 16 points on just 10 shots, drilling all six of his free throws.
The Thunder quickly jumped out to a 7-0 lead after Serge Ibaka drilled a three with the clock expiring to open the game, but Randolph and Marc Gasol quickly made the game 9-9. The teams traded buckets for a bit, but Durant finally connected on a mid-range jumper as the Thunder scored the final six points of the period to take a 23-18 lead at the break.
The Grizzlies would come out hot in the second quarter, with their bench scoring eight quick points on an 11-2 run to put the Thunder down, 29-24. A pair of Durant free throws and a subsequent jumper would cut the lead to 36-35 with a little over six minutes left, but then the Thunder wouldn't hit a field goal for the rest of the period allowing the Grizzlies to start to pull away with a 14-3 run.
1. Can the Grizz keep avoiding turnovers?
Yes, alarmingly so. Memphis didn't commit a single turnover in the first quarter, eventually giving in with 5:25 left in the second quarter when Tayshaun Prince got called for a tough-to-tell traveling call. 17 minutes of game-time without a turnover. That's incredible. They'd eventually end up with four turnovers, but that's just half as many as the Thunder.
2. Is this Mike Conley's breakout?
Not exactly. He had one notably strong play, where he stopped and started before hitting a shot in the act of being knocked by Reggie Jackson into the photographers behind the basket, and the and-1 that gave Memphis a one-point lead. But for the most part, he was lackluster, going 3 for 9 with seven points, failing to finish around the rim more often than not, and three assists.
3. Will Kevin Martin show up?
Yes, and considering Durant's off night, it was nice. Martin would hit three of his four shots and finish the half with eight points. The Martin signature dribble-to-the-top-of-the-key-followed-by-a-super-quick-pullup was water, and he closed the first quarter by sprinting past the Memphis defense after a Conley airball to finish a baseball pass from Derek Fisher with a dunk.

More surveillance cameras may be coming to a street corner near you. Some members of Philadelphia City Council are looking to improve the city's camera system at a public hearing on Monday afternoon.
"It makes everything safer" said one resident of North Philadelphia.
In December, cameras on the Market-Frankford El help catch a man firing shots into a subway car. Last month, camera images in Center City helped police track down a suspect in a doctors murder.
And when police officer Moses Walker was gunned down, video posted by police helped catch an alleged cop killer. "I think they should add more cameras. I mean protection is for everybody. If everybody's safe then I don't mind more cameras. If you aren't doing anything bad what do you have to hide?" says Steven Emerson of West Philadelphia.
Recently a delegation headed by Council President Darrell Clarke traveled to Baltimore where the city is known as a model where more than 600 cameras are in use in it's Citiwatch program.
In Philadelphia, there are 200 public cameras but at any one time more that 25-percent of them don't work.
"I personally have a lot of friends and they are in the streets. When they see a camera it gives them pause. They'll go somewhere else. Stop what they're doing. It works" says Basim Mathis of North Philadelphia.The Philadelphia Police YouTube channel has more than 2.8 million views.
A high ranking police source estimates up to half of investigations use surveillance video. That's why the city is hoping to team up with more businesses and private residences to put more cameras on the street.
But some worry that big brother-may be going too far.
"I want to have a private moment walking down the street without people looking at me. I think the city has too many cameras" says William Li, a student at Temple University.
The hearing on surveillance cameras is being held at 12 p.m. on Monday, February 11 in Room 400 in City Council Chambers.
Mayor Michael Nutter says the city is already planning a celebration to honor the Dragons in the near future.

LOL... what a waste of money!

Pleasanton's very own Mr. Ken Hart and his son Klay of Hart Electric & Son, were on the job helping to remove the electrical from the old light and installing the temporary becon for this project.

I think that this is a really important project. I look for the light every December 7th and it has given me opportunities to teach my children about the attack on Pearl Harbor and the importance of remembering and honoring those who have fought for and died for our freedom. The money is donated, not taxpayer, and I say, "Thank you" to all who have been so generous to the project.
on Jun 13, 2013 at 6:30 pm
Hi, The Beacon Light, I was there to witness the whole thing 06/11/2013. My father is "Pearl Harbor Survivor". His name is Mickey Ganitch. It was a beautiful sight, in fact I was crying a little bit when they lower it down. Like a child being separate from mother. I belong to Son + Daughter of Pearl Harbor Survivors, Chapter 5. We plan to keep this memory going. Every time I see the beacon light on, every turn it makes, for each veterans that lost their life at Pearl Harbor. Please help us with donation to: SaveMountDiablo.org for Beacon Restoration Fund. Thank you for reading.

Dyle Mobile TV is offering consumers the opportunity to take a break from holiday shopping with the Dyle Mobile TV Snack Truck. Dyle mobile TV will be traveling to stopping in the Dallas area on Thursday, December 19, 2013 at two Radio Shack locations. Dyle lets you watch live TV on your smartphone or tablet without internet or data plan.
The event will feature an assortment of FREE hot beverages and dessert snacks for local holiday shoppers. Shoppers will be able to demo the Audiovox mobiletv receiver, the first mobile TV receiver designed to bring live TV to iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The truck will be at two locations Thursday:
For more information, visit www.dyle.tv/mobile
Q: What is Dyle® mobile TV?
A: Dyle is a technology that enables local and national TV programming to be received directly to mobile devices, allowing consumers to experience live (not streaming) local and national television including news, sports, and entertainment programming when they are on-the-go. Dyle does this by utilizing a new over-the-air broadcast technology that uses airwaves specifically reserved for TV, which are separate from Wi-Fi and 3G/4G cellular signals. As a result, consumers can watch live TV on their mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets) and there's no impact to their wireless data plan.
Q: When you say live television, how is this accomplished?
A: Dyle lets consumers view LIVE TV programming on their mobile devices without requiring an Internet connection or WiFi access. Dyle mobile TV content does not travel across wireless networks. Instead it uses the ATSC M/H, the mobile standard for broadcast television in the United States.
Q: So this is not streaming video?
A: No, streaming video requires an Internet connection or WiFi access. Dyle uses the broadcast network to deliver live, local television to mobile devices.
Q: Can Dyle be used everywhere in the US?
A: Dyle delivers live, local and national television to 38 markets (120+ television stations), reaching over 57 percent of the US population. Additional markets and stations will be added in the future. For coverage, see www.dyle.tv/coverage-map
Q: Where can consumers use Dyle mobile TV?
A: Mobile TV broadcasts can be used anywhere that the TV signal can reach, including moving vehicles. This means customers can watch while on the bus or a carpool, catching up with news over their lunch hour at a coffee shop, outside a dressing room while waiting for a loved one to finish trying on an outfit or hanging out in a park with friends. While it won't work underground on the subway, it will work on a subway or train when they come above ground.
Q. What programming is available on Dyle mobile TV in my market?
A: Dyle viewers in each market will have access to between one and six channels with a range of local and national news, sports, and entertainment programming. Participating broadcasters, which vary by market, include ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Qubo, Telemundo, and Univision. For programming line in your area, see www.dyle.tv/coverage-map.
Audiovox MobileTV Receiver
Q: What's so special about the Audiovox mobiletv receiver versus previous mobile tv accessories?
A: This new receiver can be used on newer Apple iPhones and iPads with the lightning adaptors. The receiver can also be used with leading Android devices. Finally, this product is not tethered/directly connected to the receiver. It works wirelessly up to 20', allowing for optimal tuning.
Q: Which devices does the Audiovox mobiletv accessory work with?
A: The wireless accessory is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. This includes iPad2, New iPad, iPad mini or newer; iPhone 4s, iPhone 5 or newer, iOS 5.1X or newer; advanced Android devices with OS 4.03 or newer, including Samsung Galaxy S2/S3/Note/Note2, Nexus 7, Asus TF300, HTC One, and HTC Sense.
Q: Where can I buy the Audiovox mobiletv receiver?
A: The product is available through online, national, and local retailers. For a full list of retailers, go to http://dyle.tv/devices/audiovox-mobiletv-receiver/
For more information about Dyle and the new Audiovox mobiletv receiver device, visit www.dyle.tv/livemobiletv

By Marjorie Nesin Staff Writer
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — As Hurricane Sandy rattled Cape Ann's towns, residents braved the wind and rain, many with children out of school for the day, to witness the storm waters flooding Main Street in Essex, nudging Rockport's dead whale further ashore and taking down trees in Manchester.
In Essex, the Causeway flooded. Regardless of its new seawall, three to five inches of water rippled in the roadway and more overflow converted parking lots to pools during a high tide at noon. Cars waded carefully through the sloshing water until about 12:15 p.m., when police blocked the road for about an hour, giving the flood water time to recede.
"It wasn't as deep as it usually gets, believe it or not," Police Chief Peter Silva said. "But the wind was really picking up and blowing a lot of water into the road."
Power lines jiggled and swung under the wind's pulse, and Albert Tang, the manager of the Fortune Palace Chinese restaurant, stood with both hands on the pane window, peering out the restaurant's glass at the gushing water in the roadway. Tang said he had received many calls from people asking if the restaurant would stay open during the storm, and he said, the answer was yes.
"Always during the high tide it's like this," Tang said, "No business."
Tang said business picks up again as the water drops — and as the tide reached it's peak, customers began to wander in.
Akshay and Sarika Patel took the opportunity to stop in for lunch, both with work cancelled due to the storm. With the restaurant's lot covered in a layer of flowing water, the couple parked at a nearby lot, and Sarika hopped on Akshay's back for a piggyback ride before he waded through nearly eight inches of water.
"We wanted to try to turn the car in here to park, and I was like I don't think that's happening," Akshay said.
The restaurant, like some others along Main Street, was island-like with water in flowing on all sides and flooding sidewalks along front in the new cultural district.
In Rockport's cultural district, on Bearskin Neck, almost all of the businesses closed up shop for the day, with the exception of a few, including Ray Moore Lobster Company and Bean & Leaf coffee shop.
Still, people walked the neck and ventured into Dock Square.
And, Rockport's Penzance Road bustled even more Monday, with visitors drawn in by the deteriorating whale carcass that washed ashore just over a week ago. Since school was cancelled for the day in all the Cape Ann towns, some parents brought their children to see the whale, which had shifted about 15 feet higher up on the beach.
Officials had hoped the storm surge might carry the carcass back out to sea to rot, but the noon high tide seemed to have the opposite effect.
"It is so much closer than it was," Rockporter Candy Diaz said pointing in the direction of the whale from a walking path that leads to the beachfront. "It seems as the tide goes out, he's not going with it."
Diaz and her 10-year-old son Kamron Diaz have come to see the whale a handful of times. Kamron said he likes being able to walk around the body and check it out first hand. Candy said the beached whale presents a learning opportunity for her son.
"For him to get to see this first hand is just amazing," Diaz said. "It is just something else."
Seagulls struggled against the whirling wind. One swooped down, caught in a wave and rolled in the water before taking flight again. The water barreled in, breaking over the rocks, and spraying at a group of five or six kids all staring down at the whale body.
And as the waves crashed in Rockport, trees cracked and crashed in Manchester, downing power lines, including one line on School Street that remained active after falling, causing police to block off the road Monday evening. Downed lines knocked out power to many residents on Raymond and Harbor streets, according to officer Chris Locke. But, Locke said, police received few calls reporting outages Monday.
"We've mostly been fielding dozens and dozens of calls about downed trees," Locke said.

Laurie Rinker wins Legends Tour Open
PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) - Laurie Rinker won the season-ending Legends Tour Open on Sunday, parring the final hole for a one-stroke victory over Trish Johnson, Lorie Kane and Barb Mucha.
After opening with a 6-under 67 to take a three-stroke lead, the 51-year-old Rinker had a 74 on Sunday to finish at 5-under 141 on Innisbrook Resort's Island Course. She earned $30,000.
"It's hard to play when your stomach is in your throat," said Rinker, a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour. "I actually started out good on the front and was doing really well, but a couple holes before the turn I started choking up a little bit. I hit two poor shots that I can say were because I was nervous."
Mucha had a 69, and Johnson and Kane shot 72.

Read: Was Cee Lo Green taunting the Islanders last night?
This morning on Leafs Breakfast on TSN1 1050, Darren Dreger recounted his experience at Yankee Stadium last night.
Dreger said that one of the highlights for him was "Cee Lo Green, I don't what was it, before the game, whatever it was, he was taunting Islander fans and boy did they turn on this short, little, stout man in a hurry. He would break into his own song and just stop and say 'the Rangers are gonna kick the Islanders asses' and they were outraged. So when he came up in the first intermission they put a slate up on the big screen at Yankee Stadium saying 'coming up next Cee Lo Green' and there was just this enormous 'boooo.' That was one of the highlights for me."
@myboystepan on twitter sends in this report, "I think unintentionally. He started by asking fans of either team to cheer. For the Isles, he kept saying "you may be outnumbered, but make some noise" or something of that sort. Later, he focused only on Rangers fans, and asking them exclusively to make noise, once saying "if you think the NYR will kick the NYI ass, make some noise" It wasn't clear if it was intentional or just a part of his overall poor performance skills."
It's freezing out here but I'm loving performing at @CoorsLight's @NHL #StadiumSeries in NYC! http://t.co/vtPWIqf8pl—

The Heavy Cost of a Plastic Water Bottle
05.08.13 The Heavy Cost of a Plastic Water Bottle
Last week, we wrote about what's involved in the making of a plastic water bottle. As a quick reminder, consumers are really (and obviously) mainly paying for the plastic water bottle itself when they choose to buy a disposable, single-use plastic water bottle...equaling 90% of the cost. That's quite a bit of unnecessary oil that could be used for far better purposes than a quick answer to thirst. We also talked about the inevitable opportunity for a plastic water bottle to be contaminated during manufacturing, as that's just chance in a complicated process.
Why take a chance?
And what happens to these plastic water bottles after use? Well, first off, disposable plastic water bottles make a whopping 1.5 million tons of plastic waste. Plastic is lightweight so you can just imagine the land mass of this amount is HUGE. And even though PET bottles are in high demand for recycling programs, over 80% end up being THROWN AWAY anyway. Or, they make their way into our oceans, causing serious harm to marine life and birds and constructing an ocean patch of plastic equaling the size of Texas!
Bottling and shipping water is the least energy efficient method ever used to supply water. Take the average American: consuming 167 bottles of water/year, with an average of 134 of those bottles ending up in the landfill and beginning their 700 years of composting.
Enter the reusable water bottle. If you really think about convenience, it's actually much more convenient to fill a water bottle for the day than search out a place to buy bottled water and wait in a line to pay for it.
Consumers have been snookered into thinking that bottled water is superior to tap and that we're being "smart" by buying and drinking (smart) water. What's really smart is using the water that is available to you at home and if you tend to dislike the taste of tap water, just use a filter to remove bad-tasting minerals. The investment in a water filter will be paid within a short time as opposed to the waste of money from purchasing single-use plastic.
It's simply more economical to drink water from a reusable bottle than a single-use, disposable bottle. That may seem obvious but as a reminder, it's easy to waste money on disposable bottles. At approxiamately $1.35/bottle, the average person spends about $225/year for this "convenience." Another way to look at this: if you are a resident of San Francisco, it would take 10 years of re-filling your bottle with tap water to cost $1.35.
It's time to kick the habit, if you haven't already, and get off the (plastic) bottle. Make the smart and mindful decision to use glass water bottles or stainless steel water bottles.
- Both glass and stainless steel are safe for storing water and will not leach chemicals into your beverage. No BPA needed to line the interior.
- Both materials can be recycled.
- Both have the capacity to insulate - keeping beverages either cold or hot when made with a double wall construction.

MEMPHIS, the Four-time 2010 Tony Award Winner is on stage at The Kentucky Center April 2 through April 7.
MEMPHIS takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated 50's, where a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun fell in love with everything he shouldn't: rock and roll and an electrifying black singer. MEMPHIS is an original story about the cultural revolution that erupted when his vision met her voice, and the music changed forever.
The show features a brand new Tony winning score with music by Bon Jovi's founding member and keyboardist David Bryan and lyrics by Bryan and Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), who also pens the musical's book.
Memphis opened April 2 runs through Sunday, April 7th: Wednesday 7:30pm, Thursday 7:30pm, Friday and Saturday 8:00pm, Saturday 2:00pm, Sunday 1:00pm and 6:30pm.

County Wants To Buy Mobile Morgue
Minnehaha County Commissioners are preparing for a big disaster with many lives lost.
One of the responsibilities of government, especially local government, is to develop plans and have equipment, and other resources, available to deal with horrible events: tornadoes; floods; fires; plane crashes; large traffic accidents; chemical spills; to name a few. Minnehaha County has had disaster plans in place for years. As situations warrant plans are updated.
Such is the case with the discussion to buy, and equip, a trailer to assist in processing fatalities at the scene of disasters. A morbid topic, but a necessary one for elected and appointed people responsible for our health, safety, and welfare.
City of Sioux Falls, Minnehaha county, and coroner staff presented their recommendations to the County Commission. Cost of the trailer will be in the range of $50,000, paid for in part by a grant from the South Dakota Department of Health. The specifics of the design and equipment in the trailer are a work in progress. Plans are for the county to store and maintain the unit, but it would be available to other jurisdictions if necessary.
From my viewpoint, this is a good investment. Being prepared for the worst is always a good thing. My preference would be for the State of South Dakota, to buy and maintain a couple of these units and have them located in major population areas.
As a side note, if you search for "Mobile Fatality Equipment" on the Web, many of the stories are about Minnehaha County discussing this issue.

Local farmers are changing the way they grow palm fronds, but will chemically treated lulavim hold up?
MEN EXAMINE lulavim
Photo: Havakuk Levison/Reuters
(palm branches),
(myrtle sprigs) and
(willow sprigs) – waved together during the holiday prayers by observant Jews since biblical times.
Barkers yell "
Mehudar, mehudar
" – a word indicating the high quality of their products – at potential customers as they pass by. Small children run tables full of tinsel and decoration for the succa itself and old graybeards in long coats and fur hats examine the species under jewelers' loupes for imperfections that would disqualify them for ritual use.
The phenomenon lasts for only several days and the market window for growers and importers of the species is small. In the minutes before sunset and the commencement of the festival, as the sellers fold up their tables and box their wares, one can find a lulav that may have sold several hours before for tens of dollars for as little as a shekel. While the etrog is primarily grown in Israel, and is in fact exported internationally, the lulav has traditionally been sourced from Sinai's El-Arish area.
However, over the past several years, the market share of locally grown lulavim has increased and this year, the palm growers of the Beit She'an Valley have sensed an opportunity to step in and bring local production to the forefront, especially in light of recent developments in Egypt.
Since the fall of its longtime president Hosni Mubarak last year, Egypt has been in a state of messy transition, nowhere more so than in the Sinai Peninsula. While Egypt actively banned lulav exports last year, this year the barrier is not the government but rather the residents of Sinai.
The peninsula currently exists in a state of anarchy. Marauding Beduin tribes, some with connections to various Salafi terrorist networks, are openly defying Egyptian state power in the absence of authority engendered by the Egyptian revolution. While Egypt has begun sending in troops to quell the disturbances, which have also interrupted Israeli gas imports, the new crackdown is too late for this year's lulav trade.
A spokesman for the Agriculture Ministry told
The Jerusalem Post
last week that the negotiations between Jerusalem and Cairo, currently experiencing a tense period diplomatically, were not "particularly strenuous" because of the increasing production of palm branches over the past few years and especially since the ministry encouraged local growers to ramp up production in response to last year's Egyptian export ban.
The half-hearted efforts at negotiations were part of a "communications breakdown," the JTA reported, "between the various departments across the border." While the IDF allowed imports of palm fronds from Gaza last year to ease the shortage, a spokesman for the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories told the Post that there has not yet been a decision on opening up the blockade on the coastal strip to allow for the lulav trade this year.
Over the past several years, agricultural scientists at the Volcani Institute, Israel's agricultural research organization under the aegis of the ministry, have been working on ways to make lulav production cheaper in Israel where there are greater labor costs than in the Sinai.
Dr. David Kenigsbuch is a researcher at the Volcani Institute and an expert on the preservation of foodstuffs post-harvest. Three years ago, initially at the behest of the ministry, Kenigsbuch and his colleague Nehemia Aharoni developed a technique for preserving the short-lived lulav for up to six months.
The challenge facing local growers is that lulavim must be harvested close to the holiday, thus precluding a biannual harvest.
Kenigsbuch and Aharoni's research was subsequently continued under a further grant from a consortium of local growers. Despite the financial support for their research however, their new technique, consisting of coating the lulavim in a proprietary chemical bath and packing it in special packaging, did not take off initially.
The problem, Kenigsbuch said, is that "today the growers spent very little to grow the lulavim. Some grow deri, which is a mehadrin [extra fine] type and they make enough per lulav that they use the technology to save them, but the others only get a few shekels per lulav, so right now I am not sure if it is worth it for them."
However, he had noted previously, the technique could become viable for mass adoption and enough lulavim could be grown in Israel to obviate the necessity of imports, should Israel face another year without Egyptian lulavim.
This is precisely the situation as it stands this year and Avner Rotem, a grower from Kibbutz Tirat Zvi near Beit She'an, says that this year there has been a mass adoption of Kenigsbuch and Aharoni's technology.
While last year there were media reports that some ultra-Orthodox rabbis considered the chemical treatment to be "un-kosher," there is "not such a controversy per se; it is only a small minority that is against the technique who saw one of the substances that we are using and showed it to rabbis in a way in which they misrepresented how it was used, not in the way that we use it, and there is a small faction in Mea She'arim that don't want it," Kenigsbuch noted.
This technique, says Rotem, will allow the prices of lulavim to be competitive with those brought in from Egypt. While he did say that there would be a price increase on the wholesale side, it should not, he claimed, cause financial hardship of a significant price rise of the retail market.
A Sinai palm frond, he said, sells wholesale for around NIS 1, while an Israeli frond, which is generally larger and of better quality, sells for NIS 9 or NIS 10.
Since the Orthodox population generally prefers Israeli lulavim for their higher quality, it is unlikely that the price increase affected them. Likewise, according to Rotem, those who bought early managed to obtain decent prices, as the gouging most likely only really came into effect between Yom Kippur and Succot, when the demand was at its highest.
Those most likely have paid more are secular or traditional Jews buying during the period of peak demand. However, it is unlikely that lulavim will be priced out of reach of most Israelis, as the increase in wholesale price per unit is less than $3.
Both Rotem and local retailers in Jerusalem denied that there would be any shortage this year either, citing a ramping up of production by local growers to meet demand.
The new chemical processes, Rotem noted, allows for the harvest to begin months prior to the holiday, which accounts for local farmers' ability to provide sufficient fronds in the time required. Were he not able to utilize this technique and store fronds long-term, he said, there would most likely be a significant shortfall in production.
In a statement, the Agriculture Ministry quantified Rotem's claims, stating that some 600,000 fronds would be produced in Israel this year.
The intersection of global geopolitics, commerce and technology in Israel can affect even the most mundane aspects of religious observance, a fact never more readily apparent than during the days leading up to Succot.
Nevertheless, though the methods may change, some things stay the same – like the seasonal "Mehudar" criers and the spontaneous outcroppings of street-corner Arba Minim stands.

Dead Space 3 added co-op the "expensive way," and boy was that money worth it
The Dead Space series features an impressively deep back story once you start to dig into the religion of Unitology, and the games continue to plumb that history while expanding the world of series lead Isaac Clarke. The biggest addition to Dead Space 3, at least in terms of the content I've had a chance to play, is co-op. One player controls Clarke, while the other takes over a new character named Carver, a soldier who doesn't have much patience for the supernatural aspect of the situation he finds himself in. "This is definitely a very expensive way to solve the co-op problem," Ian Milham, the Dead Space franchise art director, told me as he picked up the controller to play by my side. You can jump into a friend's game at any time, and leave just as suddenly. Here's the trick: The character of Carver is not always there with you, waiting for a human player to control him. The game changes when another player enters, and shifts back to single-player mode after they leave."We didn't want some brain-dead AI following you around if you don't want to play co-op. Someone getting in the way and blocking the door and all that crap." The single-player game is completely intact, and you'll only run into the second character in a limited way; Carver will act like an NPC if you encounter him in the game without another player controlling his actions. This means that two very similar, but iterative, versions of the game had to be created. One of the games takes place with Carver being a constant companion, fighting by your side. In the other game he's simply an NPC you run into during certain scenes. When you add another player you begin to play the first game. When that player jumps out you shift back into the second version of the game. Certain scenes required new conversations and animations as the players worked together, and you'll need to play the game twice if you're hoping to see every little detail the game has to offer. Dead Space 3 will also adjust the difficulty when you bring in another player. The monsters will become more powerful and have more health. Your character is also persistent; if you play a leveled up character in your single-player game, you will get access to those upgrades and weapons if you join a co-op partner, but your gear and upgrades will be on Carver, not Clarke. It's an effective, and rather innovative, way to handle co-op.
The story and the weapons
"The big difference is the weapons can combo up and join together now. So it's not just one gun with an alt-fire, there are completely different [weapons] on the right shoulder and the right trigger. If you hit right on the d-pad, there is another combo gun where you have the plasma cutter and the ripper at the same time," Milham explained. I asked if there will be a mechanic in the game where the player will be able to physically combine entire weapons into these hybrids I tried out in the demo. "They don't want me to talk about that, but we have some big plans," he said. I also asked the question everyone worries about: Is the game going to ditch the horror for the action? "Well the balance is what we're trying to hit, right? We touch a lot of different fans. Some are hardcore survival horror, they want to be freaked out. I've had plenty of other people who say the game stresses them out, and that's one of the reasons we've added co-op. It's like going to a scary movie with a friend." The section we played was, in fact chosen for the action. It's an easier concept to sell in 30 minute chunks. "We've found horror doesn't demo well. It's a slow build, you have to care about your character, so the demo kind of skews to the action side." This is the third game in the series, although the PR person in the room piped up to correct me when I refer to it as a "trilogy," so apparently this is the next game in the series, not the ending of the story. Still, expect some questions to be answered, and the snowy planet is very important to the game's mythology. "There are definitely things that come to a close, Isaac's story and the core thrust of the games, a lot of that will be resolved," Milham said. "But it's a big universe, and there are… options."

The XR80 is notorious for having a very hard clutch pull and my son would always complain about it and this would result in shorter rides and less seat time for me. After reading lots of reviews on Thumper Talk I purchased the Raptor Clutch lever over two years ago and it has been fantastic. The adjustable lever is awesome, it really works and I have had no problems with it. If you have a hard clutch pull I highly recommend it. As for people stating that the lever breaks when you wreck, all levers can break when you wreck unless you get the reverse folding levers. I have this on an XR80 which has seen many wrecks and it has held up just fine over the past two years.Read All Reviews

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Critics of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are becoming more vocal - and more visible.
Opponents are showing up at his public and private events to hurl criticisms and question his knowledge of a plot to tie up traffic near the world's busiest bridge.
The Republican governor says he didn't know about the plot, which was orchestrated by his aides.
A Christie fundraiser last week in Michigan drew 40 protesters, including one holding a sign that said, "Don't Mess with Our Bridge."
Other demonstrators have disrupted recent town halls. On Thursday, 10 people seated together spelled out "Bridgegate" with letters hand-painted on their T-shirts.
The possible 2016 presidential candidate says a public worker union is behind the protests.
But the union's political director says Christie should stop blaming others and answer constituents' questions.

Senior forward Matthew Hezekiah tossed in a team-high 18 points and grabbed six rebounds to lead South Carolina State to a ,88-74, victory over Voorhees College on Saturday at Smith-Hammond-Middleton Memorial Center.
Sophomore Daryll Palmer recorded the contests only double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds, while teammate Adama "Louis" Adams added 12 in the victory. Freshman walk-on guard Karon Wright seems to be the spark the Bulldogs need scoring a season-high 16 points, while knocking down 4-of-8 from 3-point range.
" It was a tale of two halves and we got a big boost from our bench in freshmen guard's Jalen White and Karon Wright, said SC State head coachMurray Garvin. " Daryll Palmer is beginning to play well with another double-double performance tonight."
The game was a battle throughout with the Tigers and Bulldogs deadlock at 37-37 during intermission.
White opened up the scoring pace for South Carolina State with a eight point advantage after a foul and made layup to give the Bulldogs a 51-43 lead at the 14:54 mark. Adams driving layup with 9:28 remaining gave SC State their biggest lead of the night 14, 63-49.
Wright's jumper with 3:03 left in regulation gave SC State their largest margin of the night 22, 82-60. Voorhees couldn't close the gap pulling within 14, 88-74 as time expired to suffer their fifth loss of the season.
The Bulldogs improve to 2-4 overall, while the Tigers fall to 3-5 on the season. Voorhees was led by Ricardo Rivera with a game-high 20 points, while Allen Dantzler added 16 in the loss. Josh Corry chipped in 13 and Courtney Warren provided 10 points, while Travis Dupree grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds along with 9 points.
Garvin stated, "We are very young basketball team and we just have to keep improving every day. We will embrace the process and get ready for Omaha on Monday, so with that being said we need all the Orangeburg community to come out and support the Bulldogs."
South Carolina State will return to action on Monday (Nov.25) when they host the visiting Mavericks of Omaha Nebraska in a 7:00 p.m. non-conference matchup.

For a few families in the east burns run camp site -- fireworks and food don't even begin to describe the tradition.
"Just camping, having fun with all our friends and family," Brittany Lancaster said. "We've been doing this for many years now -- probably about thirteen years coming here."
This year the six families decided to try something new -- a parade to showcase their patriotism.
"So we organized this year and we had our first annual Fourth of July parade," Lancaster said.
Grandparents snapped pictures as family members of all ages marched across camp grounds.
"It was a little redneck in a way," Lancaster said laughing. "The grand marshal was a boat. And we had people waiving flags on the boat. And then all the kids and adults that had bikes were in the middle and our pinkCalmaro where the little kids were in it and then our end of the parade was another boat holding another big flag."
They say the reason for such a public spectacle is simple.
"So we just wanted to bring cheer to the campground, wanted to wish everyone a happy Fourth of July and wave and ring all our bells at them and it was neat."
With the success of this years parade, plans are already in the works for next year.
"Yes, definitely," Lancaster said. "We want two next year and we want a glow in the dark parade."
Fourth of July celebrations will be going on all weekend at the lake. You can catch the official fireworks show tomorrow at 8 p.m. on the Roosevelt bridge.

Just a month after he clinched the Fourth Congressional District seat, Joseph Kennedy III celebrated another important milestone on Saturday: his wedding.
Kennedy, 32, wed fellow Harvard Law School classmate Lauren Anne Birchfield at the Community Church in Corona del Mar, Calif., My Fox Boston reported earlier today.
The ceremony was officiated by Birchfield's father, the Rev. Jim Birchfield, My Fox Boston reported.
Kennedy, a Democrat, defeated Republican Sean Bielat last month for the Fourth District seat, currently held by retiring Congressman Barney Frank (D-Newton).
A former former assistant district attorney for Middlesex County and the Cape/Islands, Kennedy is the son of former Congressman Joseph Kennedy II and the grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy.
This is the second wedding this year for the Fourth District seat; Rep. Frank married longtime partner Jim Ready in July at a ceremony in Newton.

My brother likes to build buildings in his free time. He has a couple of timber-frame structures on his property that he put up over the years, and now he's working on a more traditional "stick" building made of 2x6's and 2x4's. One thing all of his efforts have in common is that they begin as drawings and become blueprints. And even though he's built with quite different approaches over the years, all his buildings have some things in common: windows, doors, and stairs to name just a few.
Many scientists would say that life on Earth also has a complex but single blueprint. Many animals are "bilaterally symmetric," meaning they have left hand and right hand parts that are mirror images of each other. There are lots of other regularities, such as the fact that all mammals have backbones.
Some of the most interesting parts of life's blueprint are the relationships that have predators feasting on their prey. The predator-prey relationship took time to become established Here's the story:
Life has been around for about 4 billion years. At first life was mostly single-celled organisms living in the sea. Then a form of colonial algae turned up that, although simple by modern standards, may have had a lot to do with slowly producing oxygen for what had naturally been an oxygen-poor atmosphere.
As time went on some unique soft-bodied life forms appeared. It took a while for geologists and paleontologists to see them in the fossil record simply because they were small and didn't have "hard parts" like shells that could clearly be preserved. Instead these animals looked something like worms or small fronds. A few of them made marks or impressions on the sediment of the seafloor and those impressions became preserved as a kind of subtle fossil. These animals, called the Ediacara fauna, were discovered in several places around the world once scientists knew what to look for. The Ediacara animals are long, like pencils, or flat, like pancakes. Most paleontologists think they had those body plans so that their skin could exchange gases with the water around them, meaning they didn't need structures like gills or lungs.

I don't think Burns will beat him, I want Broner vs Vazquez. He's a smart fighter, and I don't really what people say that he's boring this or that the man has his fundamentals down. He runs? Or he uses effective footwork either way it gets the job done

watch Vazquez beat burns and Broner will be like am moving up? Fuck that shit. Mans ducking in my eyes
also he put you to sleep cause Gesta couldnt do shit, corner didnt have a plan for shit. He stalked trying to land massive shots that missed. Whose fault is that?
I think vasquez can beat burns. But I've seen vasquez hurt a few times, so if burns or broner land even once that could be all she wrote. Gesta is an overrated bum that has very low ring iq. Someone that effectively cuts him off and times him will ko him. Don't get me wrong, vasquez is good. Hes isn't great at everything but he's very good at what he does

Billings man charged with arson for apartment fire
A Billings man is charged with felony arson after a fire was set in his apartment in an apparent effort to be returned to the state's mental health hospital.
67-year-old Larry Keith Johnson was charged Monday with felony arson for the July 31 fire. He remains jailed on $50,000 bail.
Court records say Johnson called 911 at about 10:15 a.m. and reported he had set a bunch of clothes on fire in his apartment. Charging documents say he told police he didn't want to live in his apartment anymore and wanted to go back to the Montana State Hospital in Warm Springs.
Prosecutors say an open can of lighter fluid and a lighter were found in the apartment.

From LeakyPedia
Nifflers are magical creatures found in Britain who are attracted to glittery objects. They are fluffy and black, with long snouts. Their front claws are flat like spades, enabling them to burrow into the earth. Goblins use them to look for treasure. They are gentle and affectionate, but will tear a house apart. They usually live underground in lairs that are up to twenty feet under the surface.[1]
[edit] Appearances in the books
[edit] Fourth Book
During a Care of Magical Creatures class taught by Rubeus Hagrid, Harry Potter and his classmates were introduced to the Nifflers in a lesson where they each had to pick a Niffler and the person who's Niffer found the most amount of Leprechaun Gold hidden in a patch of earth by Hagrid's hut was given chocolate as a prize (this was won by Ron Weasley).[2]
[edit] Fifth Book
When Dolores Umbridge tried to take over Hogwarts school in 1995 she was resisted and the subject of a number of pranks. One of these was that someone was somehow able to repeatedly put Niffers in her office.[3] She suspected Rubeus Hagrid, however it turned out to have been Lee Jordan who had been levitating them through a window.[4]

Authorities in Marshall County are searching for a man convicted of having sex with his mother.
Having pleaded to incest charges, the suspect was expected to be in court for sentencing but failed to show.
Arrest warrants are being issued for 25-year-old Gary Dean Helms Jr.
Helms failed to show in court Monday where he was facing a prison sentence up to 10 years.
Helms pleaded guilty in September, 2011 to incest charges. He was initially charged with rape in 2006.
Albertville Police said at the time Helms forcibly raped his mother, who was intoxicated and passed out on the couch of their home.
Police believe the attack was because Helms was angry with his brother over a female friend.
Helms' mother later claimed she forgave her son but said it was consensual.
If you have any information on Helms' whereabouts, contact Albertville Police.
