text: 07 October 2011 Pint-sized Pygmy Owl Denied Federal Protections Posted by: James Navarro | 2 comments | Share: Down to fewer than 50, cactus ferruginous pygmy owls are clinging to survival in the U.S. borderlands. Experts estimate that fewer than 50 cactus ferruginous pygmy owls are left in the borderlands of the southwestern United States. But that didn't stop the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from denying them protections under the Endangered Species Act on Wednesday, because bigger populations, officials say, can be found in Mexico. Defenders petitioned the Fish and Wildlife Service in 2007 to look into the pygmy's plight as habitat loss, invasive species and prolonged drought—threats that still exist today—exacted a heavy toll on the population, particularly in southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. The decision comes as shockingly disappointing news. "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is essentially saying that it's OK to let these rare birds go extinct in the United States," Defenders President Jamie Rappaport Clark says. She points out that the bald eagle, gray wolf, grizzly bear and jaguar would never have received protection under the Endangered Species Act using this interpretation of the law. "The ESA represents our core values of good stewardship and America's commitment to conserving our natural resources for future generations," she says. "Today, that commitment took a serious hit as we turned our backs on a declining species in this country simply because it exists elsewhere." Defenders' Southwest representative Matt Clark says, "This listing decision not only denies this declining species crucial legal protections, it also shortchanges the owl of the administrative resources needed for research, restoration and recovery efforts on U.S. soil." The pint-sized pygmy is one tough bird that's able to take down prey twice its size. But without the Endangered Species Act protections they deserve, these rare raptors may not be hardy enough to hold on in the U.S. 2 Responses to "Pint-sized Pygmy Owl Denied Federal Protections" Susan Osterholm October 7th, 2011 Is there anything else that can be done?? Appeal? EVery species deserves protection when needed. Reply Jeannie carroll October 8th, 2011 This news sickens me!!! Why. Do we even have " fish and wildlife" when they DO NOT protect what the name states! They are becoming worse than the bought Republican politicians. Wonder what lined their pockets to turn down the owls protection. Hey… Maybe we could do away with the FWC's offices in the area and have employees lose their jobs. Really it wouldn't be a big deal because there are other offices in surrounding regions… Right? I didn't think so. SHAME on all you that shut this down. You get what you sew!

I have been using the Leki Wanderfreund for 3 years…
I have been using the Leki Wanderfreund for 3 years since I ruptured my quadricep tendon. Bad injury, but the Wanderfreund makes walking safe, secure, and possible. I don't leave home without it.
I modified the grip by wrapping a leather tennis grip around the handle to make the grip larger to accommodate stiff, arthritic fingers. Also, I was very impressed when I contacted Leki about a replacement for the shock absorber system. Without question or hassling me about a receipt, they sent me a replacement "on warrentee."
Outstanding product, outstanding company.
Excellent overall product, great quality, easy adjustment…
Price Paid: $64.95
Excellent overall product, great quality, easy adjustment and would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for a minor detail.
This staff is almost too lightweight. If you are planning to purchase as a replacement for a traditional cane, please know that even when firmly planted onto the ground it can be knocked about fairly easily when on pavement, laminate flooring, and other smooth floors. I've done it numerous times.
I've hit it with my shoe while in mid stride and it goes flying, it has been bumped out of position while I'm waiting in line at the grocery store, and my large active dogs are always knocking it about.
I suffered a serious knee injury a couple of years ago and my knee joint is still loose. I purchased the staff to replace my regular cane. The anti-shock is absolutely wonderful and saves my hands from being jarred every time the tip hits the pavement. It works great on very rough ground and in the meadow behind my home, but not in deep snow.
I tried using it on the 10+ inches in my driveway, and on ice, to make it to my mailbox 300 ft away and it was just too light and the tip too small to plant firmly and keep my balance, also the handle is hard to grip with thick gloves. I have long fingers and a small palm and have no problem holding on without these gloves. The handle configuration and the anti-slip grip is excellent.
I have had my Leki walking stick with antishock spring…
I have had my Leki walking stick with antishock spring system for 6 years now. I never leave my home without it. I have considerable trouble with my spine and find that this is the perfect aid to carry for my situation. The stick is wonderfully light weight and has an antishock system which can be adjusted to the users needs. It is time to get a new one now because I also find that mine is starting to look used. I would not consider switching; this is my stick. If you have to carry a cane it might as well be something that looks equally as good as it is suitable. I received many compliments on this stick.

Beck's Diet Solution: Day 7
This is one habit that was already in place, albeit with a few slips. Those slips most always happen when my frugal nature trumps my will to follow the right eating path. And it most always involves bread. Bread is the thing I have the worst time refusing. Which normally isn't a problem because we don't buy or use bread, except when we are entertaining. Which is still okay, because having a piece of garlic bread won't suddenly explode my ass. What will cause me all kinds of problems is keeping the leftovers - I just need to throw that shit into the trash and not let it trash me.
The other component was organizing your work environment. The Suspects have a thread about what food do you keep stashed at your desk to stave off hunger. My answer? None. I know that I cannot be trusted, that I have no brakes. Those people who can buy a package of M&Ms, eat some now and save the rest for another day? Those people are absolute freaks to me. Cannot do it. Don't know that I ever will.
3 comments:
Can you keep healthy, "good" food at your desk so you are not STARVING when you get home? This may not work for you, but I wish I was better about it.ReplyDelete
As always I love your posts. You are an inspiration to all of us.
I do try to buy/eat some sort of snack right before leaving work. Right now, however, I'm really working on my thought-power techniques to stop any between meal snacking.ReplyDelete
"because having a piece of garlic bread won't suddenly explode my ass."ReplyDelete
thanks for the visual Rox.
Think I heard something about absolute denial being more dangerous than allowing yourself a little of that which you crave so bad - as long as it stays at a little. The long term denial tends to lead to big time binges which can be more damaging. So nibble your bread, and make sure your ass doesn't explode - ok?

NFC West in the NFL draft
A look at how the Seahawks' rivals in the NFC West did in the draft Friday.
St. Louis Rams
The Rams needed help in the secondary, and they got it with FS/CB Lamarcus Joyner. The Rams' front seven is as good as any in the NFC West, but their secondary has been their Achilles heel. Tre Mason was one of college football's most productive running backs and gives QB Sam Bradford another weapon.
Arizona Cardinals
No one is questioning Arizona's defense, which was one of the best in the league last year. But the Cardinals' offense was erratic and probably cost them a shot at the playoffs. Niklas is a ready-to-play tight end for QB Carson Palmer, and Brown is a small but speedy big-play threat.
San Francisco 49ers
Many considered Hyde the best running back in the draft, and he could team with Marcus Lattimer to step in for aging Frank Gore. Otherwise, the 49ers targeted two linemen to bolster their front. Martin should come in and compete for the starting center job.

Poet Emma Lazarus' immortal words on the base of the Statue of Liberty exclaim: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free … providing of course, they have a relative who is a U.S. citizen to sponsor them." (italics my own).
In the name of family reunification — a noble and laudable aim — the United States has created an immigration system that discriminates against highly skilled and talented individuals who do not have relatives in this country to sponsor them. My Honduran housekeeper, a U.S. citizen, can readily bring her ailing 81-year-old aunt to reside in the United States, while a Ukrainian scientist with double doctorates in computer science and biomedical engineering and four patents to his name, but no kin in this country, needs to wait years to secure an immigrant visa.
"Mindless," "irrational" and "absurd" are appropriate epithets to describe our nation's complicated and confusing immigration system. This system clearly undermines our country's economic competitiveness.
The United States has slipped to fourth place during the past decade in rankings by the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report and to fifth place in the Global Innovation Index. Poor performance among American secondary-school students worldwide (we rank No. 36) and declining college majors in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) are contributing factors. As for STEM majors in college, these students make up only about 25 percent of enrollment; and, sadly, nearly two-thirds traditionally switch to another major prior to graduation, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
Just as companies outsource parts of their operations to boost their productivity and competitiveness, the United States needs to "in-source" — produce more in-house — to achieve that goal; and recruiting foreign talent (particularly via an expanded H1-B visa program) is the quickest and surest way to do that.
The evidence is overwhelming that immigrant scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs contribute immensely to our economy. Research reveals that an increase in foreign STEM workers of 1 percent of total employment boosts the wages of native college-educated workers by 4 percent to 6 percent and provides greater job opportunities for them, as well. Immigrants account for one quarter of patents, twice their share of the population, and are three times more likely than native-born individuals to file a patent.
As for immigrant entrepreneurs, they founded or co-founded more than 25 percent of technology and engineering companies started between 1995 and 2005, employing 450,000 workers and have produced over $52 billion in sales. More than half of Silicon Valley start-ups were founded by immigrants.
Congress, no doubt, will take up immigration reform this year. H1-B visa expansion should be a top priority, as ample evidence shows that it spurs innovation, patent applications, employment and knowledge spillovers to citizens who work in scientific and technological industries.
Hopefully, the Senate and House can come together and reach agreement in this arena. Last June, the Senate passed a bill that would increase the H1-B visa cap from 65,000 to 115,000 and add another 25,000 visas for those holding STEM degrees from American universities. The Senate bill also creates an "X" visa category for entrepreneurs with venture backing of $100,000 or who own a business that generates more than $250,000 annually.
It also creates an EB-6 visa category for immigrant investors that hold major ownership in a U.S. business that generates over $750,000 in annual revenue. The House Judiciary Committee passed a SKILLS VISA Act that raises the H1-B visa cap and provides related incentives for immigrant investors, linked to the size of their investment and job creation.
Meanwhile, countries such as Canada, Chile, Australia and the United Kingdom are wooing foreign talent and investors with visas and financial incentives. Obviously, improving our schools and student performance and encouraging college students to major in STEM are indispensable courses of action. In the interim, we need immigrant talent and investors to strengthen our national competitiveness. Congress must act on visa reform — immediately.

Students from the Street: A Look at Dartmouth's Foundation Years Project
A short-lived 1960s-era program that transported street-smart Chicago Vice Lords to the hallowed halls of the Ivy League school has been largely forgotten—except by those who volunteered for the ride
(page 1 of 4)
Meet the students from the street
In 1967, a young adman living in Chicago paid a visit to his alma mater, Dartmouth College, to discuss an idea that seemed preposterous at the time. He wanted to take poor African American kids from the streets of North Lawndale, Chicago's roughest neighborhood, and enroll them at the Ivy League institution in small-town Hanover, New Hampshire. DeWitt Beall, class of '62, said he had candidates in mind. He had met them while shooting a film on the West Side. He insisted they could make it at Dartmouth and deserved the chance.
Charles Dey, the powerful Dartmouth associate dean, was listening. Deeply committed to public service, Dey was among many educators seeking qualified black students to integrate their campuses. But finding such students and uprooting them to study in an all-white world had been exceedingly difficult; Dartmouth's minority enrollment, like that at most mainstream institutions in the United States, was minuscule.
Beall argued that these kids from North Lawndale had raw native intelligence. Their academic preparation was definitely not up to Dartmouth standards, but they were street-smart and were excellent public speakers. And, oh yes, they were Vice Lords, which was, and remains, one of the biggest and most notorious street gangs in Chicago.
Dey was still interested. "My feeling was that we could admit people who had demonstrated ability in other areas of life," he recalled in a recent interview. So the dean took the proposal to the college president, John Sloan Dickey, a staunch advocate of social justice, who had been on President Truman's Committee on Civil Rights. Dickey agreed that Beall's proposal represented a worthy experiment, and the first two students arrived from North Lawndale in the fall of 1967.
This program that transported gang members from Chicago to Dartmouth was called the Foundation Years and ran from 1967 to 1973. It was organized to enroll students for two probationary years; with acceptable achievement, they could then continue toward a degree, possibly in two additional years.
It was not, by most metrics, a roaring success. Fifteen men were admitted. Seven graduated with bachelor's degrees; eight dropped out. Almost all of them returned to Chicago, most to the city's segregated neighborhoods, where half beat the odds and found productive careers. The other half did not, and six of them died in the inner city's clutch of drugs and guns, a plague that was becoming lethal just as these men were going east to school.
The program was instigated with the hope, perhaps naive, that astonishing Horatio Alger stories would spring from Chicago's ghetto. That did not happen. Nor did gangs become the obvious key to integrating Dartmouth, which has since grown sophisticated at achieving diversity. (Among the 4,248 undergraduates last fall, 42 percent were students of color or "unknown" ethnicity.)
The Foundation Years story, instead, is one of culture clash—of two starkly different sides of a society in the throes of the civil rights movement. It highlighted race relations, in that highly charged time, in sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, and almost always poignant ways.
Still, while the Foundation Years didn't change the world, it influenced almost everyone it touched. "These guys embodied the kinds of changes that we needed to make at Dartmouth," says Paul Rahmeier, then the chaplain and the associate dean of the Tucker Foundation, the college's center for community and social services programs. Rahmeier, adviser and confidant to the Foundation Years students, regarded them as one of the several positive changes on campus at the time: A broader faculty with degrees from other prestigious universities improved academics. Women were admitted to the school in 1972. "And we needed to have students on campus with street experience," he says.
Dartmouth was an obvious turning point for the students, too. C. Siddha Webber, who entered the program in 1969 and graduated in 1972, says he didn't initially want to leave the streets and go to Dartmouth. "I didn't trust the environment," he says. But he went anyway, and it worked out. "I had never been around intellectual white people before. It transformed me."

A "doomsday plan," notes Ezra Klein at The Washington Post, is traditionally a path toward surviving a disaster, like nuclear war. But the new doomsday plan being floated by Republicans — to quietly give in on marginal tax rate increases and move on to a fight where they have leverage, raising the debt ceiling — is kind of the opposite: "A plan meant to create a doomsday scenario," a U.S. debt default and ensuing "global financial crisis," if the GOP doesn't get deep enough spending cuts. President Obama seems pretty adamant that he's not willing to reprise the debt ceiling debacle of 2011. And this isn't just about a fight in 2013, but "a matter of good governance." The White House strongly believes "it would be irresponsible of them — a breach of trust with their successors — to permit this kind of economic brinksmanship to become the norm."
That's Obama's public stance: "I will not play that game," he said Wednesday. "We've got to break that habit before it starts." And his opening bid in the fiscal-cliff negotiations included a measure to ease raising the debt ceiling out of Congress' hands — the Treasury Department even has a viable plan. But under the table, Democrats are working to get a debt-limit increase as part of a fiscal cliff deal, says Brian Beutler at Talking Points Memo. And it seems "Democrats have no consensus plan to execute if the debt ceiling isn't increased before the end of the year."
Obama has a "relatively strong legal basis" for ignoring the useless debt ceiling altogether, "either by citing the Fourteenth Amendment or by minting a platinum coin," says Jonathan Chait at New York. But it probably won't come to that. In all fairness, adds Jamelle Bouie at The American Prospect, "Obama bears some blame for the fact that the debt ceiling is now a weapon in budget negotiations," since he allowed it to be in early 2011, but now he has to shut this down. "There was never any justification for negotiating over the debt limit — it's an administrative function and should be treated as such."
"No, no, no — a thousand times, no," says Erika Johnsen at Hot Air. "A debt limit is good for a lot of things; most notably, forcing you to acknowledge when you've spent too much money." Republicans won't, and shouldn't, agree to any weakening of congressional authority. "The debt ceiling is meant to be a mechanism to force tough political battles and 'hostage-taking,' for goodness' sake." The Democrats do seem "oddly confident" about neutering the debt ceiling, agrees Martin Longman at Booman Tribune. "The Republicans will never give up their new toy. If they can't blackmail the administration, the Tea Party will have no more reason to exist."
If Obama can't permanently end the use of the debt ceiling as a "tool for extortion," he can easily get a limit increase, says Noam Scheiber at The New Republic. This isn't 2011 — this time it's Obama and the Democrats who won a sweeping victory, thanks in part to the damage Republicans did to their image in the debt limit standoff. Once the fiscal cliff is resolved, Obama should simply tell House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) he has "no intention of bargaining over raising the limit — that whether Boehner wants to flirt with another financial crisis or calmly ease the increase through the House is entirely his choice. I guarantee he will not choose option A."
"Don't bet on it," says Ed Morrissey at Hot Air. If Democrats "refuse to negotiate in good faith this month, House Republicans won't hesitate to return the favor, especially when it comes to getting some traction on entitlement spending." But expect to see a little less brinksmanship, and a little more compromising, next week. "This week is when both sides rev up their engines to demonstrate their willingness to go full speed in the game of chicken." Hopefully, next week we'll see a comprehensive deal.

Report: Assad says Russian plan prompted weapons move
Updated On: Sep 12 2013 10:04:25 AM CDT
Syria's decision to place its chemical weapons arsenal under international control was the result of Russia's proposal rather than the threat of a U.S. military strike, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told a Russian TV channel Thursday.
"Syria is handing over its chemical weapons under international supervision because of Russia," al-Assad said in an interview with state-run news channel Rossiya-24. "The U.S. threats did not influence the decision."
An alleged chemical assault took place on the outskirts of Damascus on Aug. 21. U.S. officials say more than 1,400 people died, many of them children.
The Syrian government has said that opposition fighters launched the chemical attack.
Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to meet with his Russian counterpart in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday.
Also on Thursday, a U.S. official told CNN CIA-funded weapons have begun flowing to Syrian rebels. But opposition groups say they have yet to receive any.
Meanwhile, a Vladimir Putin-penned editorial in The New York Times has at least one White House official saying it's an indication the Russian president is "now fully invested in Syria's chemical disarmament."
And a U.N. report says that both sides -- the regime and the rebels -- have committed war crimes in Syria's bloody 2-year-old civil war.

SOMETIMES we forget how simple life can be thanks to the gift of opposable thumbs.
I was reminded on the weekend as we sat on a rocky outcrop in a beautiful part of central Victoria eating the previous day's leftovers.
Like every memorable day trip, there was little planning involved. Fill the cool bag with whatever the fridge has to offer, pack the thermos and head for the horizon.
That's how I found myself sitting cross-legged on a granite ridge eating pasta and ratatouille with my fingers instead of a fork. Gee, it felt good.
It took me back to 1987; eating vegetable curry with rice on a train to Delhi; being shown by a very respectable looking Indian businessman how to use my clumsy digits as cutlery.
A steep learning curve for a boy from the suburbs. Eating was suddenly elevated from a domestic routine to a human artform. It challenged everything I'd ever believed about poverty and abundance.
If knives and forks were an unnecessary luxury, what else could I shed from my cluttered existence?
Former advertising guru and agony uncle for The Guardian newspaper, Jeremy Bullmore devised a test for this very purpose. He calls it the Absence Factor, and it's a revealing exercise in letting go.
You simply consider any object and give it a value from zero to one hundred, estimating how much you would miss it in a crisis.
Thus a grand piano or a George Foreman grill would score very low if you were lost in the bush, while a roll of two-ply toilet paper on that afore mentioned Indian train would score almost the maximum points.
It's the kind of test that can't help but make us look differently at the abundance of "stuff" in our lives.
Most of our kitchens are one-point nightmares. The humble saucepan (a definite 90+ pointer) has been replaced by a surplus of cupboard fillers – think rice cookers, deep fryers, popcorn makers, crock pots.
Our sheds are a mess of cordless everythings. When I first moved out of home I had a hammer, a screwdriver, and a shifting spanner. I didn't know what to do with any of them, but they never needed recharging.
My most treasured possession on that Indian odyssey was a simple can opener. It might not have been the key to a world of culinary delights, but I never went hungry. And as my friend on the train had already proved, a spoon was optional.
Simple pleasures rarely disappoint. We seek it in our relationships too.
To sit in silence with one who appreciates the simple pleasure of buttered toast and a cup of tea is a joyous thing.
And let's face it, a cuppa in a crisis, or on a mountaintop, scores one hundred points every time.

On the next Puerto Rican Panorama:
On the next Puerto Rican PANORAMA, Javier Surez will tell 6abc viewers what, why, when, where, and how re. the next Hispanic Choice Awards. The only question left out will be "who" (which will be revealed on the night of this event).
Also, a Latin musical performance; plus commentary on the songs that U.S. immigrants-and migrants-left behind.
All this on 6abc this coming Sunday morning (August 31) at 5 a.m. (Those of you who can, might wish to set your DVR to record it.)
DIGITAL CHANNELS (6.2 and 6.3) SCHEDULE:
Wednesdays at 7:30AM
Friday at 7:30 a.m. to the (6.2 and 6.3)
Email your comments to Puerto Rican Panorama
DIEGO CASTELLANOS joined WFIL-TV in August 1970 as host/producer of PUERTO RICAN PANORAMA, a show intended to address the needs and concerns of the fast-growing Hispanic population and to showcase Latino culture to the Delaware Valley audience. Today Panorama is hailed as the longest-running television program in the world dealing exclusively with Hispanic issues and Latin culture in English.
It still airs weekly on 6abc (currently every Sunday mornings at 5:00 a.m.). Whenever scheduling permits (usually, when football doesn't dominate weekend television) Panorama also airs during early afternoon on Saturdays. And it is rebroadcast at various times on the 2nd (digital HiDef) WPVI channel (part of the LiveWell network).
Castellanos is also the co-anchor - along with Walter Perez - of the live (2-hour) telecast of Philadelphia's annual Puerto Rican Parade on 6abc.
Diego is a native of Puerto Rico, but has lived in the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan Area most of his life. He came to Channel 6 with a respectable background in journalism - both broadcast and print - having worked for newspapers and radio - both in Spanish and English (including Camden's "Courier-Post" and the New York-based, national circulation daily "El Diario-La Prensa."). He has also worked as a producer/director (and on-air host) for the New Jersey Network.
Castellanos is the author of several publications, including a 300-page book, "The Best of Two Worlds," used by colleges and universities in and outside the United States as a required text in courses covering education, history, sociolinguistics, and social studies.
He received his journalism training at Marquette University in Milwaukee. He also holds a master's degree from Montclair State University and earned a doctorate in education at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Dr. Castellanos has taught at Rider University, William Paterson State University, the College of New Jersey, and Esperanza College - a branch of Eastern University.
A graduate of the New Jersey Military Academy, Lt. Castellanos served as a commissioned officer in the New Jersey National Guard. He is a licensed pilot and still finds time to play the guitar (which he played professionally in his younger years).
Castellanos has been honored frequently, both for his television persona and for his social activism, having received more than a hundred plaques for his contributions over the years. He is listed in several Who's Who publications, including Marquis' Who's Who in the World. Diego was the first Hispanic inducted into the Philadelphia Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame; and remains still the only Puerto Rican so honored. (The only other Hispanic is Action News' reporter Dan Cuellar.) He is on the Pioneers board of directors; and serves as chairman of the organization's Scholarship Committee.

A Victorian hospital in the city center got a makeover from this super-hip chain, but retains such original details as the ironwork double stairway and marble columns. Beyond the imposing redbrick exterior is an inner courtyard with a fountain and a garden and an inviting billiard room. Bedrooms are sleek and contemporary, with huge, fluffy towels and white linens. The bistro is redolent of fin-de-siècle Paris, and in the Bubble Lounge, which has a walk-in cigar humidor, you can drown in more than 50 varieties of Champagne.

Political Economy of Directed Credit
AbstractImagine you are a bank manager and you have to decide to whom you will lend money. One prospect is an industrial company and the other is a farmer. As someone who wants the largest possible profits, you will look at each person's credit worthiness and the interest rate and decide based primarily on these two factors. If the farmer is a riskier borrower but is willing to pay a high enough rate of interest to compensate for this risk, then you may very well decide to lend to the farmer. The same is true for the industrialist. In this stylised example, whoever values the loan more will receive it so the borrower is better off because he is willing to pay more later for money now, and the lender is better off because he is earning the highest possible profit. And the person who did not receive the loan is free to go to a competing banker and borrow money from there or to forgo the loan altogether. [Working Paper No. 0030]

THQ's new FPS Homefront won't take the genre title, according to the publisher's head of marketing Jon Rooke.
It seems an obvious stance to take on a new IP in such a competitive genre, but Rooke thinks that developers in the past have made the mistake of aiming for the genre leader too soon:
"We have to be careful - we're very confident about the brand, but we're not going out and saying that it's going to be bigger than Modern Warfare," he told GamesIndustry.biz.
"We're not going to do what maybe some of competitors do, and set themselves up to fail on that stage."
Rooke continued to point out that franchises like Call of Duty and Medal of Honor have taken years to establish themselves and become dominant FPS names.
"We're not going to do 15 million unit sales overnight with the first game - even if the market potential is there and we spent money on it, we just wouldn't do it," he said.
"You have to take time to build fans, engage consumers, give them a reason to purchase - and then keep them with it as you go to sequel iterations."
For a new IP the goals have to be much more humble and THQ is simply looking for a triple-A game with a high Metacritic rating according to Rooke.
"I wouldn't necessarily use myself the words 'It's a world-beater'," he continues.
"I think that conjures up the idea that we'll be the best-selling first-person shooter game next year. We won't - because there'll be another Call of Duty, which will do that."
In fact the team behind Homefront, Kaos Studios, is keen to distance Homefront from Modern Warefare 2 saying it's actually closer to Half-Life 2.

Congressman on Campus
U.S. Rep. Courtney visits UConn to accept award, spark education discussion
Congressman Joe Courtney visited the University of Connecticut to speak on education reform this Monday after receiving an award from Jumpstart for being this year's "Legislative Champion."
The event, sponsored by Jumpstart and the emerging Democracy and Political Engagement branch of Community Outreach, aimed to stimulate conversation about early education reform and recognize the challenges Americans face every day as children are sent to public schools.
Courtney, a ranking member of the Education and Workforce Committee, provided a unique insight on education reform. He said that when it comes to upgrading America's education outcomes, investing early, from healthcare to education, gives an inimitable payoff to the taxpayer and enables the country to succeed at the highest level.
The issue of higher education affordability transcends party lines, being so vast, important and critical that it "overwhelmed normal partisan obstacles," Courtney said.
However, that does not mean it isn't still hypercompetitive when it comes to securing grants and funding, especially when the federal government shuts down. There are many House Republicans that are trying to turn education into a constitutional issue, debating the role of the federal government in state affairs, according to Courtney.
Courtney emphasized the role of education not only in improving the quality of life of students, but also stimulating the economy. The debate in Washington is whether unemployment is a result of structural problems such as education and job placement programs, or a top-line problem that there are just not enough available jobs to begin with. He believes that this is a "false debate," and that both approaches will be needed to make a comprehensive solution and achieve true education reform.
Courtney said he sees this firsthand while sponsoring job placement fairs, where companies come with many open positions and eager to hire new workers. Oftentimes, both parties, employers and hopeful employees, leave frustrated, employees without both the necessary skills and missing the opportunity to acquire these marketable skills.
The main reason education is such a visible issue is its connection to employment and the American Dream. Connecticut has the highest education achievement gap in the country. However, earnings per capita vary drastically. The gap begins as students walk into kindergarten, causing Connecticut to become a true "tale of two cities," according to Courtney.
In addition to making children more likely to succeed, Courtney stressed the importance of making higher education more accessible and affordable. The value of post -high school education is not a debate for him, if you break down the unemployed population by level of schooling. The current interest rate for student loans is approximately 6.8 percent, while the rate on a house mortgage is only 4 percent.
Although the Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act was passed to lower the student loan rate, the number is still and expected to rise over time. According to Courtney, the solution will be multifaceted, from reevaluating colleges, namely those who "horrifically" operate for profit, to providing incentive for states themselves to step up their game, as seen with NextGen Connecticut.
"As much as a turnoff as Washington looks like these days, there's only one answer, we just need to intensify involvement and activity," Courtney said.

Investing In Business Users Will Make Or Break Facebook's Future
Facebook is more than a social networking site; it's a business with many complex features working together.

Initially attracted to the Powaglide PG-02 by its simplicity and comparatively competitive price. But after six months, I've had nothing but multiple problems and dismal to zero customer support. Misfitting battery cradles...loose or missing bolts and nuts...defective power cables...fender design flaws...and pot metal parts that break during routine use. But more frustrating, unanswered phone calls and emails. Worst customer service ever encountered.
If you're in the market for a new fixer-upper and abysmal support, this is your product.

In that 11-game stretch, Colvin went 16-for-39 with three doubles, two triples, six home runs and 17 RBI. Two of those home runs came against Stephen Strasburg on July 6, the first time he gave up two home runs in a game in his career. From those dizzying heights, the drop has been steep and relentless. Colvin is batting .278, the lowest since he was at .270 on June 2. His post-July 6 bottom line is four hits in 43 at-bats with one double, one RBI and 15 strikeouts. Colvin his hitless in his last 14 at-bats, with six strikeouts.
