Parasite Eve Makes a Come-back on the PSP!1 Comment Published by Cara Hannesson 5 years, 1 month ago in News, PSP.
I'm going to start by admitting that I'm not normally a huge fan of role-playing games myself, I can watch someone else play them for hours, but have just never been able to get invested personally. That all changed with the release, eight years ago, of Parasite Eve for the PSX. I spent hours guiding Aya Brea through NYC, battling past all sorts of mitochondrial beasties. I always meant to go back and replay the game using the walk-through but never managed to find the time.
Then came the announcement that Square Enix is developing a third installment in the series for the PSP, which they are calling The 3rd Birthday. This game was originally announced as a mobile phone exclusive title, I'm glad that SE changed their mind! I know that Dustin Barton made mention of this in his post about Square Enix's DKS3713, but I feel strongly enough about this game to comment separately about it!
At the DKS3713 Private Party, all that was shown of the game was a fairly short trailer which didn't show off any game play details or much of the upcoming plot. This is what IGN had to say about the trailer:
While [it] was rather short, it started out by focusing on events that occurred from the previous two games. This included many of the visually striking cutscenes in a montage that highlighted many of the monsters that Aya destroyed. This quickly moved into a scene where Aya walked down the aisle of an empty church in a wedding dress. However, it didn't appear that the wedding would fully take place, as a figure appeared in the doorway of the church. Suddenly, the glass and pews of the church crumbled and fell to the floor, as did the decorative flower arrangements inside. As Aya turned and raised a pistol, a wedding ring fell to the floor. With the floor slowly being covered in blood, the trailer ended and the logo flashed up on screen.
That's about all the information that has been released so far, other than it's expected release date for sometime in 2009 in Japan. I'm hoping very badly that this game makes it to the North American market, since it's one that I will definitely be getting my hands on! I will keep you posted as more information becomes available.

Short Hills Provincial Park is a provincial park located in the centre of the Niagara Peninsula, bordering the city of St. Catharines and the town of Pelham in the Niagara Region in southern Ontario, Canada. It occupies an area of 6.6 km². It also borders the new vineyard sub-appellation called the Short Hills Bench.
Located on the southern edge of the Niagara Escarpment, the park is a jumble of small but steep hills ("short hills") and valleys created by the last ice age. The effect was only compounded when the Twelve Mile Creek cut through the sedimentary deposits and glacial till.
Wildlife inhabiting the park include white-tailed deer, coyote, and meadow vole. Being at the north end of the Carolinian zone, many plants grow here that do not grow or are rarely found in other parts of Canada, including pawpaw, sweet chestnut and tulip-tree.
The only park of its scale in Niagara, Short Hills Provincial Park is a prime destination for residents of nearby cities, especially St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. Popular activities include hiking, horseback riding, fishing and mountain biking.
The park contains six-side trails including the Bruce Trail and several waterfalls, it has a nice mix of both dense forests and open meadows, with meandering creeks and gentle hills that offer good hiking conditions.

Toronto – The Presidents of Enterprising Organizations (PEO), Toronto's innovative leadership and performance services group, has issued the third part of its 'Knowledge Accelerator' featuring Sodexo Canada president Dean Johnson in a frank discussion of how he transformed the company's business model.
The 'Knowledge Accelerator' series provides peer advice from past and present members to help leaders enhance the way they do business. This new edition entails nine blogs and a four-part interview, highlighting the milestones of Johnson's career.
Johnson joined Sodexo as senior vice president in 2008. He successfully reinvented the company's business strategy by developing a facilities management plan. Within a year he rose to president of the Canadian division. Johnson took an existing model of fragmented services and he streamlined operations to drive value for Sodexo clients. What started out as a food-service company grew into a multi-service provider, including maintenance work and landscaping tasks to narrow the supply chain and simplify operations for his clients.
"Dean Johnson had the vision and follow through to change the basis of the industry," said Leon Goren, CA, PEO's president and CEO. "He's a risk taker who understands that success comes from exceeding customer expectations."
Johnson recalls that when he joined the company, it was selling within the operating lines and lacked a centralized sales team. "There was no constructive conflict between sales and operations. We weren't taking any risks," he told PEO. "There was no sales culture. We lacked accountability from an organizational perspective – we'd miss targets and there were no repercussions."
Johnson attributes much of Sodexo's success in facility management to his impact on company culture. "The people in the organization were complacent," he told us. "They weren't challenged from a leadership perspective and thought FM was a passing fad."
Johnson replaced 80 per cent of the senior leadership team. Johnson drove deliverables into people's performance reviews. He centralized sales and brought in a sales leader.
"Dean Johnson's insights for changing company culture are invaluable," Goren added. "He knew he needed to have a cultural impact right down to the account level if he wanted to promote change. His hands-on advice is critical to change managers. "
Johnson recently participated in an episode of Undercover Boss. "The one thing that struck me was how hard our people work," he told us. "I'm proud of our people."
About PEO:
PEO works with Boards, Chief Executives and company Presidents, business owners, senior executives and emerging leaders to develop and/or refine growth trajectories. We also assess the challenges and opportunities that can delay or accelerate the journey, and then work with leaders and their teams to enable them to arrive at their destination, on time, on budget.
Our secret formula is simple. We believe that leadership growth needs organization growth and networks to provoke, accelerate and sustain their growth. By accessing PEO's full suite of performance and leadership accelerators, coupled with the right performance advisor / coach and the right peers, organizations will get to success faster and in a more sustained way.

I really don't get it. What makes us human? Why are we here?
But really who cares. To me, I've always thought of myself and my life as an empty jar of nothingness. No fun. Not interesting. I've attempted to see more to it but again… empty. Like looking through a never ending tunnel. Dark. Empty. Echoes.
I really feel sorry to the unfortunate people living through their lives. Working hard to live and here I am; not a single fuck given whether I live or die. There is not a day I did not thought of dying. Until the time I met her. She lighten up the dark tunnel that I've always thought I could not see through. She filled the empty jar with joy and entertainment.
Though I feel good now, there are still days that I wished I have never existed. It feels like I am just a burden. Those thoughts have always reminded me who I really am, an empty body. A jar. A tunnel that cannot be seen what it is like in the other side.
If someday she's gone and left me, I will look back to those memories that finally made me happier; content. Turns out that there are things that I cannot do on my own. I cannot fill this empty jar. I cannot give the light I need to see through my thoughts. I cannot live on my own. I am not going to make it without that light. Life. Death. They're all the same to me. Its a curse that you have to lift against your shoulder.

Fixed it Denny...don't go all Dave Biddle on me.
He's claiming that he broke a story that 11w also shared except 11w didn't give him credit. I'm willing to bet this happens daily to sports writers.

Say this all the time but it is so hard to be top tier football and basketball at the same school. Most powerhouse basketball schools don't have a good football team and vice versa. Texas and Florida come to mind as a few but have dropped off a lot lately.
Wow this country fried rube is acting like a scorned lover. First happy birthday...then he opens the flood gates! He probably couldn't even punch his way out of a wet paper bag. You have to love how miserable Meatchicken fans are!

Wasn't Sarah Palin Supposed To Help John McCain In The Mountain West?
by Todd Beeton, Tue Sep 23, 2008 at 11:39:56 AM EDT
Certainly, in choosing Sarah Palin to be his running mate, John McCain has managed to take Alaska and North Dakota off the table. They are swing states no longer. But there seemed to be the assumption that her appeal...and their collective appeal as "Two Westerners versus a Midwesterner and an Easterner" as Sean at 538 puts it, would accrue to their benefit all throughout the Mountain West. Turns out there's evidence that the further south you go, the more Sarah Palin appears to be having the reverse effect.
Public Policy Polling has begun to poll New Mexico (1,037 LVs, Sept. 17-19, MOE +/- 3%), only to find the state may be out of reach for John McCain.
Obama 53
McCain 42
And how does Sarah Palin fare in the poll?
Sarah Palin is not very popular with New Mexico voters. While 38% said her selection made them more likely to vote for John McCain, 46% said it made them less likely to do so. Among independents 47% said her place on the ticket made them less likely to vote Republican. Overall Barack Obama has a 16 point advantage with that demographic.
Since PPP doesn't have a trendline in New Mexico, it's interesting to note that, per Pollster, in the first three polls taken in the state after the choice of Palin was announced (ranging from 9/8-9/15) Obama's average lead was 2.3%; in the most recent three polls (ranging from 9/14-9/19) Obama's average lead is up to 8.67%.
Certainly, not all of this falls on Palin's shoulders, but as PPP notes in the analysis of its new Colorado poll (1,084 LVs, Sept. 20-21, MOE +/- 3%), there is a direct correlation between Palin's favorables and McCain's poll numbers.
First, take a look at their new numbers (9/8-9 results in parentheses):
Obama 51 (47)
McCain 44 (46)
An 8 point swing in 12 days. Now, how is this result related to Sarah Palin's favorables, defined as whether or not Sarah Palin's addition to the ticket makes respondents more or less likely to vote for McCain?
A precipitous drop in Sarah Palins approval may be helping to fuel Obamas gains. Immediately after the convention 41% of Colorado voters said that her selection made them more likely to vote for John McCain, compared to 38% who said it made them less likely to do so. Since then theres been a 12 point drop in her net favorability. Now just 38% say that she makes them more likely to vote for the Republican, with 47% saying theyre less likely to do so.
Or put another way (thanks to PPP's blog for the chart):
Date 9/9 9/21 Palin favorability 41/38 38/47 Spread Obama +1 Obama + 7
No doubt other factors, such as the economy, have played a role in Obama's surge out West, but it's hard not to conclude that John McCain is beginning to have a Sarah Palin problem there as well.

Gambling means trouble for some
By JIM DALY ~ The Patriot Ledger
Scanlan, executive director of the Massachusetts Council on Compulsive
Gambling, has no qualms about adults gambling at casinos.
She knows more than 90 percent do so responsibly.
GARY HIGGINS/The Patriot Ledger
Its the 5 to 6 percent of the those who are addicted to gambling
that Scanlan worries about, especially if casinos come to Massachusetts.
The difference between the six-hour plane ride to Las Vegas and
a two-hour trip to the Connecticut casinos is significant, she said.
It provides the easy accessibility, she said. Its a very significant
public policy change to put casinos near large population centers.
Scanlan is on the 19-member commission appointed by acting Gov.
Jane Swift to study the effects of casino gambling in Massachusetts.
Scanlan said many problem gamblers have gambled their own money
away, so they borrow from family and friends, max out credit cards
or remortgage homes (often without telling spouses) to continue
According to the council, from 200,000 to 300,000 Massachusetts
residents are problem gamblers. About 65,000 to 90,000 are considered
compulsive, or pathological, gamblers.
Youre always chasing your losses, almost working in the past,
always trying to make up for it, Scanlan said of compulsive gamblers.
Marlene Warner, a program director at the council, said compulsive
gamblers tend to keep secrets, usually involving finances, from
spouses and other family members. Its not just impacting that
one person, its impacting their family, community and work environment,
she said.
Scanlan said things get worse when compulsive gamblers resort
to embezzlement or forging financial documents to feed a gambling
to top
The Massachusetts council receives 2,000 to 3,000 calls about
gambling annually.
The top three problems involve casino gambling, sports betting
and Lottery games, such as scratch tickets and Keno, Scanlan said.
In recent years, Warner said, gambling on the Internet has increased
substantially. Just this week weve had two callers calling about
betting on horses online, she said.
Also increasing are the numbers of people who bet huge sums on
the stock market, hoping it will deliver a windfall, Scanlan said.
While it may not seem like it, thats a form of gambling, she said.
Warner said compulsive gambling is not limited to class. She said
the homeless, a population with few resources, have a high percentage
of problem gamblers.
Lately, health officials have noticed a rise in the number of
elderly who gamble.
People in that group are very often dealing with losses, Scanlan
said. Gambling is a way for people to deal with loss.
Problem gamblers, like alcoholics, are encouraged to quit cold
turkey, according to Gamblers Anonymous, the national organization
that was formed in 1957.
Warner said there are also organizations - Gam-Anon is one - that
help a problem gamblers family members and friends cope.
Scanlan said the programs can work. Shes seen a significant number
of people turn their lives around.
People do get better. They can face it, she said. Weve met
as many people that are doing well now.

Get ready to be blown away by this friday's musical post, especially if you're a fan of late King Of Pop Michael Jackson.
Last month, The Weeknd (pronounce "the weakened") released a new album:Echoes of Silence, an overly impressive piece part of a trilogy. As an opening track, The Weeknd choose D.D. (for Dirty Diana) in which he imitates Michael Jackson's voice so accurately that it is almost distrubing. As if he was channeling the King Of Pop. The instrumental is so deep that it brings the song to another level, way far from the mere cover of the King's original song.
This track is a bold statement coming from the 21 year-old musician. Indeed, if his first two albums were all about lust and self-destruction, this one exhudes self-confidence and self-affirmation. The beat of the songs is stronger and hit you harder as if to show that The Weeknd is definitely not weak.
Waving between pop and R'n'B, The Weeknd is definitely a rising artist whose talent has been noticed not only by numerous fans but also by music producers like Drake and Lil Wayne.

Stone Cold and The Rock duke it out in this RAW segment from 1997.
Video highlights, shots on goal and boxscore for the Canucks-Oilers tilt
One Virginia squad that has not received the media attention it really should is the Virginia Field Hockey team. While the football team is trying to make a comeback and impress any pair of eyes...
Oh its true its damn true. GO BRONCOS!!
Utes roll TCU to start conference play.
Utah didn't play well. These grades will reflect that performance.
Utah won the 1993 Holy War on a last-minute kick. Did that victory bring about the downfall of BYU's dynasty?
Could the Wolves offer Love and all their draft picks for the number one pick? They basically control the draft now.
The Hokies have beaten UVa five consecutive times.
FoxSports column, originally printed in the NY Post, about the way Byrnes has built the team into a contender. Focuses especially on the threat to the Mets' attempt to take control of the National League. Even stretching the prospect base to the 25-and-under set to include Jose Reyes and David Wright, the Mets just do not have the breadth of young talent Arizona does. That is an issue moving forward. Because while the Mets' first order of business is taking care of the Phillies, Braves and the NL East, Arizona is beginning to look like the team to beat in the entire National League in 2008 ... and beyond. Arizona has five players 25 or younger in its everyday lineup: first baseman Conor Jackson, shortstop Stephen Drew, third baseman Mark Reynolds, center fielder Chris Young and right fielder Justin Upton. At 20, Upton is the youngest player in the majors and projected as the best of the group. You know your team has arrived when the New York media finally takes notice.

Cumbrian GP heads to the Philippines to offer help following Typhoon Haiyan
11:00am Saturday 16th November 2013 in News
A CUMBRIAN doctor has flown out to the Philippines to help victims of devastating Typhoon Haiyan.
Dr Sean Hudson, a GP in the west of the county, left the UK for the Filippino islands as part of an emergency medical response team following the storm which has left more than 3,500 people dead and thousands more missing.
Dr Hudson has extensive experience providing medical cover on expeditions in 21 different countries.
He was the first person in the UK to become a Fellow of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine and has trekked across the Darien Gap and the Thar Desert.
He has worked as a trekking guide and Chief Medic for Raleigh International in Namibia and Zimbabwe, a trauma medic in Columbia and a ski field doctor in New Zealand.
In 2002 the Maryport GP, who is a member of the Cumbria Clinical Commissioning Group, co-founded Expedition and Wilderness Medicine, which seeks to provide comprehensive training for medical professionals working as expedition medical officers in a variety of extreme and remote environments.
He has travelled to the Philippines as part of the UK's International Emergency Trauma Team and will be providing emergency medical care to those affected by the destructive typhoon.

Santa Cruz Indymedia
Building Towards Tent City: Week Four In Front of Coonerty's Bookshop
HUFF voted to support a Sleep-Out Sunday August 12 at City Hall as we continue to table and demonstrate in front of Vice-Mayor Ryan Coonerty's workplace--Bookshop Santa Cruz. Since City Council refuses to hold its police department to the same human rights standard as Los Angeles and San Diego (i.e. not arresting homeless people at night), events will begin at City Hall Sunday nite.
With 27 potential plaintiffs willing to file suit to overturn police harasssment of homeless people at night, the weekly Sunday tabling at 1520 Pacific Avenue is attracting more volunteers and supporters.
Potential entertainment this weekend: a debate between a Coonerty stand-in and a Sleeping Ban opponent, some new satirical songs against anti-homeless laws, a speak out and general discussion/ debate on emergency solutions to homelessness in Santa Cruz (campground/carparks, lifting the camping ban generally, lifting it in limited areas of town, squats, shopping cart tent cities in the parks, etc), coaching on how to Fight Back in the Courts, special training on Talking Back to the SCPD, and more!
Help plan events for August 12th and beyond. (All-night guerrilla theater movies at night? A day of teach-in activity?
Prepare speeches for City Council on July 24th.
Munchies, signs, flyer, songs, shouts, hoots, and chatter!
Take reports on the latest ticketing madness in downtown Santa Cruz on Pacific Avenue and thereabouts.
A possible report from street tarotcard reader Jason Paschal, busted for denouncing O'Neill's. When Paschal called the police to report being spat on and called "nigger", he was arrested for "disturbing the peace."
Vigil Against Two Wars (the War on the Poor in Santa Cruz and the War in Iraq/Iran): Say NO to the occupation of Iraq, the war provocations against Iran, and the failure of "progressive" politicians to take action!
More info and to volunteer call 831-423-4833
Joe displays his sign on Pacific Avenue which says, "Fight Terrorism, Not Homelessness" and is framed by about 8 citations, most of them for illegal sleeping in Santa Cruz.
An officer with the Santa Cruz Police Department, and then another officer, investigate two people sitting on a curb holding a sign.
Here is the message that was verbally conveyed from the police officer (shown above holding the sign) to the people on the curb:
If you are broke and homeless, then go somewhere else.
A shelter was suggested by the officer, but the reply was that the shelter is not compatible for them. Then the cops told them to go back where they came from, to go to a shelter in their hometown.
The police were polite. However, they enforce a policy of criminalization of poor people.
Joe believes that my camera was helpful in this situation and notes that the police hate being recorded. I agree, but I also feel the police wield around a sort of autonomy which seems to protect them from concepts like 'accountability' to the people they claim to 'protect and serve.' Rather, and more precisely, the police understand that they are accountable to the wealthier sectors of our society. That means enforcing the rules of corporations and the 'market.' The officers moved on up Pacific Avenue and the people on the curb moved along as well.

Any word yet on what the Lions did with Anthony Hargrove? Did they meet, lose interest? Is he still in town negotiating. This looks like a great pick up to me. It really opens up a whole lot on field and draft situations. They could play him at end and still draft Suh/Mccoy. They could play him at DT and Draft a OL, (this would be great if they could move down.)
Anyway, for good or bad, I scan't seem to find out what, if anything, the Lions did????Any help anyone??

Santino Fontana, Heath Calvert, Michael McGrath, Rachel Bay Jones Set for Free Readings of New Musical notes to MariAnne
By Andrew Gans
Amas Musical Theatre will present two free staged readings of the new musical notes to MariAnne Sept. 12 at 1 PM and 4:30 PM at The Steve and Marie Sgouros Theatre.
Leigh Silverman will direct the David Rossmer and Dan Lipton musical.
The cast will include Heath Calvert, Natalie Charle Ellis, Santino Fontana, Rachel Bay Jones, Elizabeth Judd, Michael McGrath and Ken Triwush.
Notes to MariAnne, press notes state, "tells the story of Johnny and MariAnne Bell, a young brother and sister torn apart and then reunited after a decade of family struggle, grief, and hardship. In those 10 years America has emerged from the great Depression, fought the Second World War, and won a hard-earned peace. The show unfolds a family mystery to explore the means by which two struggling individuals can seek the courage to redeem the past and reclaim their own futures."
"Notes to MariAnne asks a question that every era frames differently," said Amas artistic producer Donna Trinkoff in a statement. "Whether it's the 'sins of our fathers,' the 'mistakes of the past' or 'the make-up of our DNA,' we yearn to know if and how we can break free of all those limits that would so bleakly define us. Notes to MariAnne is a modern fairy tale that sings its story, exploring the consequences of leaving those you love to find hope in unknown places."
The presentations are part of the ongoing Amas Musical Theatre Lab, a development series for writers, lyricists and composers to mount public readings of their new musicals.
The Steve and Marie Sgouros Theatre is located at 115 MacDougal Street. For reservations for the free readings, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (212) 563-2565.

I used to follow this site religiously for the last 4 years, but for a variety of reasons I only visit occasionally these days, which is why some of you may not recognize me. Anyway, those who have visited this site regularly for years know that I have never agreed with any proposed move out of the Prudential Center, nor do I believe the Nets will actually play their home games there (the Knicks will play home games in BK before the Nets do, IMO). And that's IF the arenum is built to full completion (which it appears it will be, but I would not be surprised if construction is halted or delayed at some point over the next year). I bring all of this up for you all to understand where I'm coming from and what you're about to read.
I won't go into all of the reasons why I know this 'move' is nothing more than a large-scale PR stunt simply designed to eat into the NY b-ball viewing market. If I did list all of the reasons, this post would end up being a 10,000-word essay! As a 20-year fan of the Nets (and current season-ticket holder - long live the Rock, baby!), I have to ask why the Nets have chosen to field losing squads the last few years, as well as mediocre teams from the time Bruce Ratner - an admitted b-ball novice - took over the team?
Which leads me to Barclay's Center and the Nets. At north of $1 billion, this arenum cannot possibly turn a profit anytime soon, even if there were sellout events every day of the year for the next 10 years. As you will read in the above attached article, it's clear why fans don't come to games - LOSING. I think the Nets have employed this tactic for the same reasons the Sac-town Kings have faltered. To extract more public money from a team so they don't have to pay for their bad decisions. Sounds a heckuva lot like a publicly-financed bailout to me. But this alone does not explain the Nets' situation.
Why build an arena that can't possibly make money - again - the only reason to build a new facility in our Capitalist system? Considering the MASSIVE amount of direct and indirect public financing (thru eminent domain, dissolution of air-rights bidding over MTA-owned rail yards and politicians that looked the other way when the remainder of the Atlantic Yards project was "delayed" due to Ratner's financing issues), someone will have to pay, and that will be NY City and State taxpayers. And the bill won't be cheap. And the owners won't have to pay. This is the shell game that's being played on us, the fans. The classic bait-and-switch, with our Nets as the bait. And we're going to pick up the tab, ultimately.
Lastly, why build an arena in the same metropolitan region (BK and Jersey are part of the NY-NJ metro area) when a brand new state-of-the-art arena already exists just a 15-minute train ride southwest of midtown Manhattan (Pru Center, in case you haven't guessed)? It has all the bells and whistles and expensive suites of modern arena. Population doesn't explain this issue when there are simply a limited number of events available to fill all of the arena in our region. Unless Barclay's is hosting sold-out shows of Disney on Ice for over 200 days a year and siphoning most of the events from the other arena in the region, there's NO WAY this arena can compete.
I know the vast majority of you either won't agree with me or will dismiss this as the final rant of a disgruntled fan. But I can assure you that after following this project (and the original Newark arena before it) for the past 13 years that this situation will not end well. And don't think for a second that a multi-billionaire owner is gonna throw his money away on bailing out this team and supporting the construction of the World's Most Expensive Basketball Arenum without extracting substantial financial concessions in return. After all, how do you think he became a billionaire in the first place?

Sonia has been with us for three years, and we are so lucky to have her! At the beginning of her freshman year she found out about jobs at Texas Performing Arts through a posting on HireALonghorn.org. Now in her third year at the University of Texas, Sonia is working on her Radio-Television-Film degree with minors in Business and Spanish. In addition to all of that schoolwork, Sonia has worked in the Texas Performing Arts Development Office through it all.
Sonia is grateful for her opportunity to work here because she says it has improved her communication skills and has boosted her confidence in regards to working in an office. With aspirations to become a film editor, Sonia is thankful for her supervisors that allow her to take on projects that fit her interests.
This semester she'll be working on a student testimonial video. Sonia will work with two other student employees and Hook 'em Arts members to interview people as they leave performances. The idea is to stimulate discussion about $10 student tickets and the importance of these discounted tickets in a student's education. The end product should be a video that educates the public on the Student Ticket Fund and encourage donors and patrons to contribute. (Keep your eyes peeled for sneak peaks throughout the semester!)
One of Sonia's favorite parts of the job is interacting with the staff. She enjoys the people that work here and the supportive environment by which she is surrounded. Recently Sonia got an internship at Twitchy Dolphin Flix after speaking with Natalie Wilemon, a Texas Performing Arts staff member who will be acting in one of their upcoming films!
When asked about any last words, Sonia replied, "What we do in life echoes for eternity." That's her favorite quote; it's from Gladiator.

So tonight is a pretty epic sports night:
Oklahoma at Baylor – Fox Sports 1
Oregon at Stanford – ESPN
Redskins at Vikings – NFL Network (OK, this is not a great game…)
Clippers at Heat – TNT
Lakers at Rockets – TNT (such a shame Kobe isn't playing…)
MLS – 2nd leg of playoff matches
Galaxy-Real St Lake (ESPN2)
Portland-Seattle (NBC Sports)
The main attraction are those two big CFB matches, a pair of top-10 clashes and, potentially, two of the best games of the season. Baylor's warp-speed death machine offense will face its stiffest test yet, while Oregon and Stanford are battling for Pac-12 supremacy (and, in Oregon's case, the ability to keep its reservation for a spot in the BCS title game).
But there are other good sports on, too. Plus whatever else tickles your fancy on a Thursday evening.
The usual rules apply: no links to illegal online streams, no porn, no politics, no slurs, no religion, don't be an ass. Just enjoy sports being awesome.

There's something about "take-out" and "healthy" in the same sentence that doesn't seem to sit well in my stomach. I imagine a McDonald's marketing scheme in which a meal is advertised as "low-calorie" simply because it's an incredibly small portion that can be swallowed in three bites.
, however, is exactly as advertised. Not quite a full restaurant, yet not exactly a drive-through, the eatery serves up protein-rich sandwiches, salads, and dinners. It's easy to miss if you're driving along Lankershim Boulevard: save for its large black-and-green sign, there are just a couple of tables outside that indicate it's a place to eat.
This is the case on my first visit - on my way home after an hour-long commute from my full-time job, I spot it just in time to snag parking a few steps from the storefront. It's been a long day and I'm in the mood for a non-greasy grab-and-go dinner. Like many people, I have a tendency to crave cold and crunchy meals during the hot summer months.
When I walk into the spot for the first time, I'm somewhat taken aback – the stainless steel ordering counter isn't too far from the front door, and the kitchen takes up about 70 percent of the interior. HealthyCA (pronounced hel-the-ka) is a food factory indeed: though it is open to dine-in patrons, it seems to serve mostly catering, take-out, and delivery customers. It's well-suited for busy bees who don't mind ditching the experience of a fancy café atmosphere.
Out of the dozen different salads to choose from, I go with the Mediterranean soy salad (but the ratatouille with baked eggplant, roasted tomatoes, grilled zucchini, walnuts and blue cheese is a tempting second choice). The meal (about $10) includes a side of salad, rice, or fruit; I opt for a quinoa salad.
I head outside to get some fresh air while I wait for my name to be called. The kitchen is just a few blocks from the 134 Freeway and though the site is no Parisian sidewalk, it's still a prime people-watching location.
Several dance studios are peppered around the NoHo Arts District, and HealthyCA appears to enjoy the health-minded clientele that comes with it. I try hard not eavesdrop as two dancer types discuss the relationship drama among their group of colleagues; after hearing all about the hook-up history of someone named Sammy, I'm thankful to hear my name called out from inside.
As per my usual routine of late – apparently still living the life of a bachelorette allergic to the kitchen – I get home and promptly eat my salad in the comfort of my living room couch and coffee table. The salad is perfectly textured with edamame, celery, cucumbers and corn; the grilled tofu and albacore tuna is my source of protein for the day.
HealthyCA also offers chicken chicken and turkey dishes, along with a variety of fresh cold juices and iced teas.

ING Advisors Network Reduces Ticket Charge Fees for Producers; Advisory-related fees down 10-25 percent
The broker-dealers of ING have announced that they are significantly lowering ticket charges (fees on trades) for their financial representatives and advisors on an array of transactions, a reduction intended to make the cost a representative or advisor pays to execute a securities transaction among the lowest in the industry.
The charge reduction goes into effect for trades settled on or after Oct. 1, 2008, and will be particularly significant for advisory representatives. Compared to its current charges, ING is reducing prices in every category for its advisory reps and reducing prices or holding them stable in every category for retail reps.
"The charge reduction is part of our continuing effort to make the broker-dealers of ING a highly attractive partner for independent representatives as they strive to better serve their clients," said John Simmers, CEO of ING Advisors Network. "Our broker-dealers also offer outstanding technology and advisory programs along with a host of resources not found at most broker-dealers. This move is just another step to make sure the ING-affiliated reps maintain one of the most competitive payouts in the industry."
Changes for Advisory Representatives
For advisors, the ticket charge changes will result in significantly lower costs — ranging from 10 percent to 25 percent — in every transaction category. For example, load mutual funds charges were reduced by one-third. ING also is lowering the charge on Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), which is a highly popular and fast-growing segment of the investment marketplace.
Changes for Retail Representatives
For retail trades, there will be an overall reduction in almost every price category. For example, listed equities and load mutual funds charges were reduced by almost 10 percent.

The role of municipalities in the development of the cities and towns is very crucial and important in today's context when urbanisation is moving at a very rapid pace. The municipal bodies in spite of their efforts are unable to perform better in terms of financial management and efficient delivery of urban services. Therefore, the need of the hour is to strengthen and reengineer our urban local bodies which will perform better in terms of maximising the revenue generation and at the same time deliver the services in a better and efficient way. The only option which could bring such results can mainly be achieved through the introduction of innovative practices which directly targets these two issues, which mainly revolve around maximization of profits and better serviceability. This paper highlights certain areas where municipal GIS forms the core part in bringing reforms at the local bodies if planned and implemented in an efficient way by incorporating those actions which may realise a major improvement without much capital investment.
There are various core areas where the municipal bodies are involved for providing their services for the betterment of the city. These services are often described as the obligatory and the mandatory functions. It is with these functions only where the municipal bodies have to perform in a way that they could maximize their revenue generation and perform and deliver the services in a better way. One of the important thing which is missing in the system is that data is not managed properly. Because of the improper management of the data and records, it often becomes difficult to know about the functioning of the system in an efficient way. The core solution to maximize the profit generation and efficient delivery of the urban services lies in the overall management of the data system of the organization. The data's are always linked to each other and often lies in an isolated form. It is very important to manage the data in an integrated way so that complexity of the various systems could be reduced to solve various issues related to the functions of the municipal bodies.
The project about the municipal applications of GIS involves various components which could enhance the revenue base of municipal systems. Some of the projects already exists in certain municipal bodies or are under process. The important issue is to see the sustainability of that project within the organization and how cost effective the project is for the organization. Often it is found that the project conceived is failed to meet the desired goals of the organization.
The project "Logistics Management and Spatial Planning for Solid Waste Management using Geographical Information System" is based mainly on the practical observations regarding the functions and the city needs from time to time. The objective is simply to increase the revenue base of the local bodies and deliver the services in an efficient way by taking appropriate planning and management arrangements.

as being, at best, mere flights of fantasy - at worst, a blasphemous indulgence.
The widowed Queen was fascinated by spiritualism - even going so far as to engage the services of mediums who performed seances in the hope of making contact with her deceased husband, Prince Albert. Dodgson was sympathetic to such practice. Being a founder member of the Society for Psychical Research, he believed that the human mind was able to percieve other realms, and that science would one day enable all men with the means of speaking with the dead.
The city of Chester once had cheese warehouses on the banks of the river Dee and it was said that cats thereabouts had ample hunting with mice and rats and were, therefore, very happy. In the Cheshire village of Daresbury, cheeses were moulded into animal shapes - one of which was a grinning cat. And, it is thought that the British Blue breed of cats, known for their 'smiling' expressions were descended from cats in Cheshire.
As far as the Hatter is concerned, the term 'as mad as a hatter' derives from a hazard of the trade in which mercury was used in the processing of felt used as lining. Mercury poisoning could cause tremors and peculiar speech patterns, even hallucinations. In Oxford, it was generally held that Tenniel's Hatter was a caricature of the local merchant, Theophilus Carter - a decidely eccentric man very rarely seen without his top hat.

Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana (Two-Legged Inverted Staff Pose)
As you lie on the bolster, respond to areas that feel tight or uncomfortable by trying to stretch and move them. Use your hands to gently pull your head and lengthen your neck. To lengthen the lower back, tuck your tailbone and slide your hips farther away from the bolster. Enhance your fine tuning by turning your attention to your breathing. Initially, your breath may reflect the discomfort in your body by being slightly ragged. Consciously slow it down and slightly extend each exhalation. As your breathing steadies, notice how it develops a rhythm that expands beyond the chest to resonate through your whole body. Coaxing that pulse into your tightest areas is your goal.
Facing the Challenge
As you lie over the bolster, you may at first reflexively tighten in reaction to the strong back arch. However, it is critical that you consciously soften and make more room inside your body. Continue to modify your position (even reshape your bolster if necessary) until you are at your "edge"—that place where you feel yourself physically challenged, but still able to maintain a steady breathing rhythm.
Though you are letting go, your body should not collapse. Just flopping is not letting go. In fact, undoing resistance should be a highly conscious process with distinct and tangible sensations. Tension must be faced, dissolved, and finally recycled into true expansion. As your surface grows quiet, become acquainted with the inner movement that pulsates through your body on the beat of each breath. Observe this "undoing" process closely: You are learning to recognize resistance and transform it into renewal, a skill that will mature until it can support even the most challenging asanas.
When you feel ready to take on more challenge, cup your hands behind your head and bring your elbows in so they are shoulder-width apart. Pause for a moment to feel how broad your upper back becomes when you do this, and then, as you exhale, slowly begin to spread your elbows wider without narrowing your upper back. This will open your chest and thoracic spine even more. Keep your elbows wide for a few breaths before relaxing your arms out at your sides and on to the floor at shoulder level.
Letting yourself completely fall back into the bolster, close your eyes and allow the rhythm of your breathing to draw you inward. Depending on how comfortable and absorbed you are, the time you spend here may vary from several minutes to half an hour or more. At the end, in your clean slate of a body, you will be ready for the renewal that comes from practicing asanas.
When you are ready to leave the bolster, put your feet flat on the floor. Removing any props you've placed under your neck, lift your hips and slowly push yourself over the bolster onto your shoulders. Move the bolster under your hips and hug your knees into your chest for a minute or so. You may feel mild discomfort in your lower back that should subside quickly, to be replaced by heat that spreads throughout your back.
You are now ready to progress to a more active yoga practice informed by the skills you have developed over the bolster—a practice more likely to find the balance of physical action, internal focus, and conscious breathing that form the core of hatha yoga. Your time spent over the bolster can help your asanas reach the ideal described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra: "alert without tension and relaxed without dullness" (translation by T.K.V. Desikachar, from The Heart of Yoga, Inner Traditions, 1995).

So I threw out lesser known fight since most talk lately on here has been about Mayweather, Jones, Hatton, Pac, etc. This fight should be an exciting affair as long as it lasts. It is in NY so I probably might try to catch this one live. I know nothing about Jennings, will he give Cotto a test?
Cintron has not been mentioned in a while, so I am curious to see if anyone thinks he has a chance against Clottey. I definately favor Joshua myself, though I will root for Kermit because he is from my area(got to support the local fighters). Hopefully Cintron comes totally prepared, cause he is going to need it against Clottey. I did not see his last fight with Ndou(i think), he won a decision, but he looked awful against Margarito in the rematch. Any opinions at all?

|San Fernando's Young Musicians Going to Nation's Capitol
|Written by Diana Martinez
|Thursday, 15 November 2012 02:54
They are not only going to Washington, the young musicians in San Fernando's Mariachi Master Apprentice Program – Mariachi Tesoro de San Fernando -- are going to the White House.
"We are thrilled that we have been recognized nationally," said Virginia Diediker, City of San Fernando Cultural Arts Director. "The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities has selected our program as a finalist for 2012 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award."
"This prestigious award is the nation's highest honor for an after-school arts programs." First Lady Michelle Obama will be presenting the award to the winning program during a special White House event There are 50 finalists nationwide who make up various art disciplines. "We are keeping our fingers crossed for our talented young musicians of MMAP," said San Fernando City Councilwoman Sylvia Ballin.
While the students, teachers and their families are nervously excited, Ballin said the students have already won what most could only imagine in their wildest dreams; they have been given the rare opportunity to visit the White House. Adding to their excitement, while in Washington, the young mariachi musicians will be performing and have a full schedule planned that will include:
- Nov. 18, 6 p.m. (EST): Kennedy Center Millenium Stage Performance. The one hour concert will be streamed live on their website. Those interested in listening to their performance can go to kenneddy-center.org or kennedycenter.com.
- Nov. 19: MMAP Mariachi Tesoro de San Fernando CD will be unveiled with their debut album "Cantares de Mi Tierra" which will go live on Itunes, Amazon, iHeartRadio, Spotify, and other web-based music stores.
- Nov. 20: The young musicians will be performing at two elementary schools (Glen Haven Elementary and Parkside Elementary) in the morning, followed by a lunch event with Class Acts Artists. Later that evening they will also perform at Glen Echo Park, which is a cultural arts center in Maryland.
Nov. 21: MMAP will be performing at Sargent Shriver Elementary School.
The City of San Fernando Mariachi Master Apprentice Program (MMAP), is a project that was first created in 2001 in collaboration with Nati Cano, founder of the world renowned Mariachi Los Camperos and the City of San Fernando Recreation and Community Services Department.
It began as an experiment to bring master musicians to teach local students, and has thrived to become a very successful award winning program.
MMAP students, from the northeast San Fernando Valley have a desire to study traditional Mexican music. At the same time, by sharing the love of music, the program, through the study of culturally-relevant musical traditions, also gives these young musicians the platform to discover and embrace pride in the heritage of their families, develop positive self-identities; and contribute as young performance artists preserving and disseminating the traditional arts.
Diediker points out that not only has the program developed talented young artists, it has helped the students in the classroom. "Studies have shown that youth engaged in arts programs, do better in school and help to build their success throughout their lives." It's believed that the success of MMAP is the program model that has been created to provide instruction to the students by uniting them with master musicians . The MMAP students are taught by members of Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano, that include Grammy Award-winning musical director, Jesus Guzman, Sergio Alonso, Jimmy Cuéllar and Juan Jiménez. Cano is considered to be the single-most important figure in the dissemination of mariachi music in the United States.
Alonso, also a music teacher at San Fernando High School points out the impact the program has had in the classroom. "Our MMAP students have a 100 percent graduation record and many of those who have graduated from our program have gone on to to top universities, including MIT, Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine. Some of them have gone on to study music and have graduated with degress in music and others have even become professional musicians, said Alonso."
"Also, It's not every day children from our community get to go to Washington and be part of a White House event." said Alonso. That coupled with releasing their own album and sharing their music with students from other schools is such an exciting time for every one who has supported the program including the previous generations of those who have graduated from our program and it is testament to everyone's hard work and support."
Ballin said she and many others "here at home" plan on listening to the MMAP students performance at the Kennedy Center when it's streamed online on Sunday Nov. 18. "I have heard them play many times and they are always amazing, this time I will get to hear them live from the Kennedy Center. Wow. This is so special. We are so very, very proud of them." Ballin said.

One of the more baffling rumors, courtesy of sfgiants.com:
The organization has invited him to meet its parents and everything. Hudson plays a position at which the Giants could use an upgrade, though there are semi-reasonable options in place if the Giants choose to ignore second base. Still, Kevin Frandsen and Eugenio Velez should never, ever, never, ever stand in the way of a team looking to sign a free agent. As fallback options, they're not bad, but fallback options are all they should be.
Hudson plays silly defense. At least, he used to. And his on-base percentages for the past three years have been good: .367, .376, and .354 going back to 2006. He has a little pop, and he runs well. What's not to like?
He's 31, and he wants five years and $50M. Good gravy. How about no.
He had season-ending surgery last year to put a wrist bone back in place. In May, he had hamstring issues. Last year, he tore a ligament in his thumb a couple of months after jamming his ankle. Oh, and he's 31. The wrist bone thing is serious – because the wrist bone connects to the arm bone that connects to the shoulder bone that connects to the heart bone that connects directly to the gamer bone – but it wouldn't be as much of a red flag if he didn't have a sordid injury history.
If the Giants signed Hudson, their second-round draft choice would go to a division rival. There's about a 10% chance that would come back to haunt the Giants, but it would sting if the Hudson signing bequeathed the next Dustin Pedroia to the Diamondbacks.
And Hudson just might be a Bank One creation. Now, home/road splits aren't the final word on a player's offensive ability. Almost every player hits better at home than on the road. Almost everyone laughed at the Nationals for trading for Alfonso Soriano, who appeared to be an Arlington mirage, and almost everyone learned a little bit of a lesson. But it's wacky to just ignore park effects. In Arizona, Hudson is an MVP candidate. On the road, he's close to the low end of what we'd hope for from Kevin Frandsen:
2007 – Home: .302/.382/.511 – Away: .286/.370/.369
2008 – Home: .326/.403/.536 – Away: .288/.337/.381
Again, this doesn't guarantee that he'd come to Mays Field and magically transform into Away Hudson for 162 games, but danged if that doesn't raise more red flags than were raised for Yuri Gagarin's parade through Moscow. Here's five years! Fifty million clams! And…oh, dang. You really can't hit away from Arizona. Well, we certainly aren't re-signing you in 2014. You cost yourself a lucrative extension, pal.
Orlando Hudson: What you get when Edgardo Alfonzo's contract mates with Ray Durham's contract. Stay away. Far away. Far, far away. Two-year deal? Sure. I'm in. Three-year deal. Heck, that shouldn't cripple a franchise. Five years, at star money? Insanity. If he were a 30-homer guy, I could see why the Giants would take the gamble. Or, if the Giants were a .500 team last season, I could see how he might help them become a contender. But he isn't, and they aren't.

Jo Johnson's father 'absolutely thrilled' by No 10 role
Stanley Johnson, the father of London Mayor Boris, told ITV News he was "absolutely thrilled" that his son Jo has been added to David Cameron's team in Downing Street.
He said: "I'm absolutely thrilled at this wonderful appointment David Cameron has made, there is no doubting Jo's intelligence.
"He is delighted and I'm confident the Tories will get their act together in a big way.
"I wish my father had been alive to see this and I'll keep lobbying him to make sure the Tories stay green."

As Chianti Dan
takes another vacation "attends a conference" in New York, Illinois is zeroing in on Tim Beckman.
Beckman is a 2* coach according to the CBTN methodology that we discussed in an earlier post. I'm not advocating that Chianti Dan hires Beckman, but he has a reputation as an up-and-comer. There is no guarantee he will be successful, but another athletic director with a plan is zeroing in, as opposed to Chianti Dan's inept search.

Amazon Kindle Fire
Reviewed by kyle932 (Currently owns)
The Kindle Fire was given to me as an early Christmas gift, and I have been playing with it extensively for a week. The design is minimal at best, but I happen to like it. The soft touch/ rubbery back is comfortable to hold, and makes the Fire easy to grip. The display is crisp, bright, and easy to read but it is very glossy and I had trouble reading it in a lit room. It became almost impossible to view outside. The screen also collects smudges very easily, but fortunately they are easy to clean off. The real problem for me with the Kindle Fire is the skin that Amazon put on it. I personally find it very difficult to use the carousel and I constantly skip over the things I try to select. I often have to touch things several times to get them to open, and I have to hold down certain buttons (like the home button) for it to register my press. Battery life tends to be quite good, especially if you spend most of your time reading, however if the screen brightness is all the way up the battery life suffers severely (in my experience).

Fry's newest venture will take over the Bluepointe space in the Pinnacle Building at the corner of Peachtree and Lenox Roads. In a press release, Fry said, "This will be far different than any of our other restaurants and will offer a completely unique dining experience in Buckhead."
The food will be inspired by the European flavors of Italy, Spain and possibly France. A name for the concept will be released early in the new year and the restaurant is slated to open late Fall 2013.
The space is being designed by Meyer Davis of New York. Fry commented, "What I am most excited about is an oversized classic European bar with clear sight-lines into a wood burning hearth and even a dramatic crudo bar mounted with just mounted with just harvested shellfish and seafood."
The newest restaurant will join JCT. Kitchen & Bar, No. 246, The Optimist and Oyster Bar at The Optimist, and the not-yet-open King + Duke in Fry's family of restaurants.

Illustrator/designer Kyle Bean, who's known for creating 3D images from cardboard (like the cover he created for the January 2011 issue of HOW), just posted a new personal project where he's built a 3D chicken from egg shells. Too cool!
