Convicted killer Luke Miller has spent the last 10 years in a Scottish prison for the 2003 murder of his 14-year-old girlfriend Jodi Jones, a crime he insists he didn't commit. So his supporters have been lobbying that a polygraph test indicating his innocence be made public to draw attention to his case, in hopes that the courts might reconsider his sentence—or even set him free. It's now on YouTube, marking perhaps the first time a prison-issued polygraph test has been posted online. Administered last April by British Polygraph Association secretary Terry Mullins, the test is actually two and a half hours long. The video you can watch is 17 minutes of tense questioning. Focus is very apparent on Mitchell's face and body, both rigid and unmoving. And you can't blame him, because his life is quite literally on the line.

Demaryius Thomas is questionable to return to Thursday night's Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos game after heading to the locker room to have his shoulder examined. Thomas came up injured after making a catch when he was hit hard by multiple members of the Oakland defense.
It was Thomas' second catch of the game, out of four targets from Peyton Manning. The two catches gave him a total of 31 yards prior to leaving the game. Thomas has emerged as Manning's primary target this season, with 69 catches for 1114 yards and eight touchdowns.
Manning may be without Thomas to throw to for the remainder of the game, but he has connected with six other receivers so far tonight. Denver was having little trouble moving the ball against the Oakland defense, but a rare red zone interception by Manning kept a score off the board and gave the Raiders a bit of momentum, though they trail 13-0.

TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins
We should be able to close the book on hat-gate. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick caved to public pressure and put on a Niners hat. If you missed it last week, the Kaepernick received scorn from faithful San Fran fans when he was spotted wearing a Miami Dolphins hat. Kaepernick didn't understand the big deal, and defended himself and his right to wear whatever he wanted, and that it didn't make him any less loyal to the gold and red. Well, that was not enough to quiet his ridiculous critics, so here ya go, from his Instagram. Oh man, that hat is hideous. If anything, now the fans will get on him for picking what might just be the ugliest 49ers hat on the market. He's just mocking those haters with this.
Expecting to 'get faster and more efficient with his stride,' San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is destined for greatness

Enforcement and Assistance in New England
Lead Paint Hazards
Lead poisoning is a serious and preventable health threat for children and vulnerable populations. New England residents are especially at risk because a large amount of the housing stock is older and more likely to contain lead paint. We are tackling this issue primarily through our Lead Paint Assistance and Enforcement Program, which relies on two important federal rules. First, the Federal Lead Paint Disclosure Rule requires landlords, property management companies, real estate agencies, and sellers to provide tenants and purchasers of pre-1978 housing with appropriate information about lead-based paint in general and known lead-based paint hazards in the specific housing. These requirements allow a renter or purchaser to be able to make an informed decision about whether to lease or purchase the housing.
In addition to the Disclosure Rule, we also enforce the Pre-Renovation Education Rule. This federal rule requires contractors or others conducting renovations/repairs in residential housing built before 1978 to provide the residents with information to help prevent lead exposure. Under the rule, plumbing, drywall, painting, electrical work, replacement of doors or windows, or any other activity that disturbs more than two square feet of paint is considered "renovation."
Over the past fiscal year, the Region conducted 126 inspections covering over 10,000 housing units across New England. In addition, of the cases settled in 2006, approximately $74,000 was paid in fines and penalties and more than $279,000 was paid in supplemental environmental projects and injunctive relief to be used for testing and abating lead paint hazards.
Because it is critically important to disseminate information about the need to protect families from potential exposure to lead paint, especially pregnant women and young children, we expanded our outreach activities this past year by mailing out compliance assistance letters to over 600 large and mid-sized painting contractors, home renovators, and carpenters explaining the Pre-Renovation Rule. Similar letters were also sent to 340 municipal building inspectors/code enforcement officers and public housing directors in New England so that they better understand the importance of this rule.
The Region also participated in door-to-door compliance assistance activities in Boston. Working with a lead prevention non-profit agency, the Region canvassed home owners in communities with the highest lead poisoning rates in the city. In addition to making them aware of the Pre-Renovation Rule, they also informed them of local and state abatement funding sources. These volunteers provided critical lead prevention and home renovation information to hundreds of homeowners in a single day. Finally, the Region provided direct compliance assistance during each lead inspection. The inspection team sits with the property owner, property manager, or renovator, explains the Rule, makes them aware of significant reporting errors, explains how to improve reporting, and advises them of compliance assistance resources.
During the past year, Boston University, working under an EPA grant, made 21 lead paint prevention presentations to 650 people in our targeted communities. In total, more than 1,700 people attended 49 conferences. Fourteen presentations were to real estate professionals covered by the Disclosure Rule: realtors, landlords, property owners, property managers, and attorneys, (some also covered by the Pre-Renovation Education Rule). Four presentations were to contractors covered by the Pre-Renovation Education Rule. Two presentations were to regulatory officials and employees of lead-poisoning prevention programs.
In April of 2006, EPA's Lead Safe Yard Project was honored by the American Public Health Association. This project, a collaborative effort among EPA, Boston University's School of Public Health, and the Boston Public Health Commission, provides low-cost methods to eliminate lead in urban residential house lots. Lead-contaminated soil in older Boston neighborhoods remains a source of exposure that has not received widespread attention. Even when houses have been de-leaded, yard soil has rarely been sampled or treated. Under this program, nearly 100 house lots in North Dorchester and Roxbury have received lead-safe yard improvements. Improvements included removing contaminated soil and adding mulch to raise the level of the ground on which children play; adding compost to garden plots from which previously contaminated soil had been removed; improving bare soil areas with lawns, mulch, and stepping stone paths; and creating gravel driveways. The Boston Public Health Commission and Lead-Safe Boston continue to provide lead-safe yards through their housing rehabilitation and de-leading programs, which are open to income-eligible Boston residents. The Lead Safe Yard Project has developed a how-to handbook for individuals, neighborhood associations, community agencies, and local government to encourage replication of the program.
Several years ago, we adopted a goal to eliminate medically-confirmed blood lead levels greater than 10 micrograms per deciliter among children under the age of six in New England by 2010. We are well on our way of achieving that goal. We have seen a dramatic decrease in elevated blood lead levels among children in Boston. We have raised awareness of the problems of lead paint hazards within the real estate industry and we are seeing our six New England states taking a more active role to reduce blood lead levels in children. Currently, we are expanding our efforts into additional areas based on the latest data.

DALARNA, SWEDEN (RNN) - A Swedish woman found her long lost wedding ring in a carrot patch - 16 years after losing it.
Lena Pahlsson, lost her white gold wedding ring in 1995. She and her husband searched everywhere – so they thought.
While pulling up carrots in her garden earlier this year, she noticed her seven-diamond encrusted wedding ring attached to one of the carrots.
Lena Pahlsson's family was surprised, including her husband Ola Pahlsson.
"It was Lena's wedding ring that had been missing since 1995 after Lena's annual Christmas baking. It had surfaced, wrapped around a carrot. Quite amazing," Ola Pahlsson said, to a local newspaper – according to Daily Mail.
The family believes that a sheep may have accidentally ingested the ring after eating table scraps, and its manure was spread over the vegetable garden.
Lena Pahlsson will have the ring resized before she can wear it, but says, "We're keeping it in a safe place."

Hive wins top award
3:43pm Friday 8th February 2013 in News By James Connell
THE Hive continues to create a big buzz, scooping the prize for the best new build project of the year.
The award was handed out in the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Building Performance Awards 2013.
Opened in July 2012 as a partnership project between Worcestershire County Council and the University of Worcester, The Hive was announced the winner at the awards ceremony last night in London.
The Hive had tough competition, shortlisted alongside six other internationally recognised buildings including the newly opened Titanic in Belfast, a unique visitor experience as it is the birthplace of the Titanic.
Also shortlisted in the category were the world renowned beautifully crafted Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, previous winner of top architectural accolades including 'Building of the Year' at the World Architecture Festival 2012.
The Hive was recognised for its good practice, outstanding energy performance use of passive design and renewable technologies to create a sustainable building whilst delivering high level of comfort and
performance for its visitors.
The £60 million development opened by HRH The Queen has already attracted more than 550,000 visitors through its doors in the first seven months of operation.
David Thain, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Transformation and Change at Worcestershire County Council said, "We are very proud The Hive has received this prestigious award. It is wonderful that The Hive has been recognised in so many areas; for its environmental impact, its contribution to the community and for pioneering partnership working. We look forward to seeing The Hive continue to be an inspiring place that everyone in the local community can enjoy."
Guy Nevill, Senior Partner – Max Fordham LLP – Building Services and Environmental Engineers said "'We are delighted that The Hive has won the building performance awards, particularly against such stiff competition. The challenging client brief required some creative engineering to meet the low energy targets. It is very rewarding for the whole team that The Hive has been recognised for achieving those goals and delivering an exemplary learning environment."
Professor David Green, University of Worcester Vice Chancellor, said: "The Hive is proving to be an inspiring success as a centre for learning, culture and heritage, as befits the nation's first joint university and public Library. It is also a beautiful building. On top of this it is an outstandingly sustainable building – so important in this era of global warming and ever more extreme climate change. Winning this top environmental award shows just how high a standard has been achieved."

Aug. 2014 - In June, Karoon Gas Australia announced its intention to sell its position in permits WA-315-P and WA-398-P to Origin Energy for an initial payment of $600 million. That payment has been made and a reimbursement of back costs associated with the Pharos-1 well is expected in the coming weeks. Origin has received approval from the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator and been confirmed as a title holder in both permits. Some remaining terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement include a $75 million payment upon reaching a final investment decision for the Poseidon development and a $75 million payment upon reaching first production.
Sep. 2013 - Drilling and testing at the Proteus prospect off Western Australia is complete. The final sidetrack, Proteus-1ST2, was drilled to a depth of 17,224 feet and was terminated in Jurassic-aged rocks. A flow test carried out across the Plover on Montara formations achieved a maximum flowrate of 7.3 MMscfd through a 16/64" choke with a flowing wellhead pressure of 4457 psi. The flowrate was restricted due to well bore stability concerns. Initial results indicate that significantly higher rates could be achieved with the addition of appropriate infrastructure. Karoon Gas and the operator, ConocoPhillips, are confident that production wells drilled near Proteus could reach commercial rates in excess of 100 MMscfd. Proteus is the third successful well drilled in the Greater Poseidon Area following Kornos-1 and Boreas-1. The partners plan to drill a minimum of 6 wells in the area through 2014.
Jun. 2013 - ConocoPhillips and Karoon Gas Australia, partners in WA-398-P, have been forced to sidetrack an exploration well being drilled on the Proteus prospect by the Transocean Legend (mid-water semisub) off Western Australia. Proteus-1ST1 was successfully kicked-off and drilled to 14,740 feet where a well control event forced the partners to shut-in the well. Drilling will continue once the well control issues are remedied.
Mar. 2013 - Exploration drilling at the Proteus prospect is underway in license WA-398-P off Western Australia. Proteus-1 is the third well in the current five-well drilling campaign using the Transocean Legend (mid-water semisub) and follows the Zephyros discovery in the same license. ConocoPhillips, operator of WA-398-P, and its partner Karoon Gas Australia plan to use the rig throughout 2013 in an effort to determine the size and quality of oil accumulations in the Greater Poseidon trend.
Mar. 2013 - In a recent update concerning Zephyros-1, Karoon announced plans to begin coring operations after encountering a drilling break in the exploration well. Upon completion of coring activities, drilling will continue to the proposed total depth of 17,618 feet. The Transocean Legend (mid-water semisub) is drilling the well which is operated by ConocoPhillips. Zephyros-1 is located in WA-398-P and is the second well in the company's current exploration program, which consists of a minimum of five wells. Once Zephyros-1 operations are complete, the rig will mobilize to the Proteus prospect in the same license.
Jun. 2012 - ConocoPhillips is moving forward with drilling of the Boreas-1 exploratory well in WA-314-P following the final function testing of the blowout preventers for the semisub Transocean Legend (mid-water semisub). The BOPs and marine riser were run to the sea floor, and after function testing, were pulled from the hole for further repair and maintenance. After passing all checks on the surface, they have been re-run to the seafloor for final subsea function testing. The company will drill the second well in the program, Zephyros-1, in permit WA-398-P approximately 4.9 miles (8 kilometers) southwest of the Kronos-1 discovery location. The third well, Proteus-1, will be drilled in WA-398-P approximately 8.6 miles (14 kilometers) southeast of the Poseidon-1 discovery location.

@ Milovan:
And I'm under the impression that people who are always blogging in the middle of the day have a problem managing themselves, my friend. (No offense, just saying.)
Last week as a leader, this week Charlemagne...
another rehash of Brussel's propaganda.... to spent the core's money...
For further details, contact the comment section of last weeks "dawn in the west" or so....
Emma said that emigration is a safety net for Irish unemployed and that it is easy for Irish to emigrate to Canada. She supplied two links to articles in Canadian newspapers about Canadian jobs fairs in Ireland looking to attract skilled emigrants. Clearly someone posted something against the Economist's comment policy and the whole thread was deleted. I received an email to say it was not one of my comments and encouraging me to resubmit them.
But anyway I am not saying they are too picky. Canada is clearly very popular right now, so they can afford to be picky. That all depends on which side of the border you are on. From Canada's point of view there is no shortage of migrants so they can erect barriers based on skill, age, etc. If you are young and educated, Canada may seem like a fantastic opportunity, and yes it is easy for such a person.
However if you are looking at it from the point of view of an unemployed Irish person, say 40 years old with a spouse and child, a mortgage in default, who until recently was employed as an unskilled laborer in construction, then you are going to find it very difficult to emigrate to Canada. Struggling low income, low skill families are the kinds of people safety nets are for, but those are not the kind of people places like Canada or Australia try to attract. In fact specifically they try to exclude such people, for understandable reasons.
Instead, the people going to Canada or Australia are skilled, productive workers. This represents a huge loss the the Irish economy and society. To call this a "safety net" is simply incorrect.
Keep taking your medicine Terence!
Obviously the head is tiger.
But the back is PIGS!
This is my first time to see what Celtic Tiger looks like!
If Ireland is not helped by the ECB and EU then the idea of an EU does not make sense at all. It will be a threshold event for widespread breakup and default on prior obligations by all former EU members.
I think we largely agree here. On the matter of FDI - I think they are good that I'm not concerned with FDI. I'm concerned with income produced by companies after those FDI's are made. A lot of studies in the US has shown that American corporations do not repatriate money back to the US. They do keep it offshore for quite an extended period of time (the Bureau of Economic Analysis shows that Bermuda has more US FDI than France, Italy and Germany combined!!). Some economist even called those investments "black matter" because the US tax authorities cannot quantity them because they are not brought back to the country.
Senior bondholders, like the listing you mentioned, are a type of creditor... And they should lose their shirt for being part of the debt-tango. However, creditors who are depositors like you and I are not always apparent -- typically governments back them up with guarantees; typically small investors do not keep huge stash of money as deposits in cash that most governments have limits on guarantees. But for Irish banks, a lot of deposits are by non-financial corporations (a lot of senior bond holders obviously are financial institutions).
So, if Pfizer makes an FDI into Ireland that is good - but when Pfizer keeps future incomes in Ireland (as deposits), Ireland better be like Switzerland and macro-asset manage those funds by pushing them outside the country where growth potentials are higher. But, I don't think Irish banks (like Icelandic banks) had the experience like Swiss banks that a lot of those non-financial non-senior debt holders (basically depositor's) money wound up in property values. Ireland could have just guaranteed 100,000 euros or 250,000 euros of those deposits...but a blanket guarantee means those depositors are not you and I...but big non-financial companies, which fits with some of the limited data the US government keeps on tax cheats who offshore their profits permanently.
"We're hardly the Cayman Islands!"
You know that tax heaven cavemen irelands share common symptoms: Large budget deficits and mountains of national debts! You don't want to tax companies because doing so will lose lots of foreign companies! So you get hudge deficits and debts!
Q3/2013, obviously - as I also wrote in the subsequent paragraph.
In this article replace the word "Ireland" with "Portugal" add the word "corruption" into the mix and you'll be surprised by the similarity.
Actually, Gandhi said this to the Brits over their justification for colonial governance in India.
No Enda fun
Couldn't agree more.
At the end of the day, Ireland's GDP is composed of a huge share by foreign companies (human capital developed by other countries). Ireland is not unique - which is why those companies you mentioned are gradually moving to Poland and other places in Eastern Europe. What makes Ireland favorable simply is taxes. You may have good companies, like you mentioned, but it's not enough to be a stand-alone non-poaching country like Sweden, Denmark or Finland. It is good...but simply not enough... The country would look significantly poorer and its national debt worse if Ireland's GDP accounting ignored the contribution of foreign companies. No amount of Irish pride flowing from your responses can change that.
In fact, it has been pride that made Ireland at risk. All those foreign companies used local Irish banks to deposit their money (to shelter them from taxes in the US - it's called the "Double Irish" in accounting). All that money has to go somewhere...Irish banks channeled the money into local property. You have to ask...where did all those households get that amount of money to buy overpriced homes? -- whose savings were they borrowing? (they were borrowing savings from those said foreign corporations). Switzerland has had more experience in asset management and knows to push money back outside the country to poorer nations because the returns are higher as poorer countries develop. There is absolutely no return in housing - it's just future income front loaded into the present.
I think Ireland does deserve lower interest payments on its debts to the bailout fund - those rates are now higher than the market rate Ireland pays. Maybe 5% should just be a ceiling for Ireland, but when market rates fall, the repayment to the bailout fund should fall with it. Also, Ireland should impose loses on senior bond holders - Iceland did that, and with apparent success. It takes two to make a debt-tango. But, as a concession - its EU partners are right that Ireland cannot be a corporate tax shelter. Ireland should gradually phase in higher corporate tax rates, and try to develope its own human capital to create its own companies. Small countries like Finland and Denmark can do it without poaching companies from other countries...Ireland should learn to develope them, too.
Celtic metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is usually regulated by thyroxine, a thyroid hormone which to a typical short plumb Irish give the impression to lack. Ireland's adjustment of not buying stocks when to price is high and selling them when the price is low as in the property market seems to be working. If it is just a hang-over or reform remains to be seen.
Here is a perfect example of a good person standing up to be counted
Having a safety net is profligacy?

During tonight's especially exciting exhibition game, I experienced a revelation. Since it appears Emmanuel Burriss isn't going anywhere, and isn't going to hit anything, maybe we need to take drastic measures to improve his productivity.
We must have Burris show bunt in every at-bat. When he doesn't bunt, he fakes and goes for the slap over the infield. But really, his main job is to draw walks. Perform some sort of training sequence montage with a crusty but wise old "Walk Master", or maybe use cybernetic enhancements to improve his walk rate. Once on base, just cut him loose. Just unleash him. Cause havoc. Stir the pot. If we're lucky, it forces errors, gets some more baserunners in scoring position, and we waste fewer outs waiting for Burriss to start hitting doubles, or singles even.
I'm not sure how, or why, but as I began to think about this idea, the following verse sprang forth from me, as if from a dream:
If Manny must be on the roster,
May Bochy use him as
A bumblebee,
Buzzing and bunting his
Buoyant boots about
The basepaths.
The Bums
Will blunder,
Bewildered by the BB's,
SB's, and boo-boo's
Brought by Burriss,
Brazen and brave
Basepath blazer, blitzer,
Blistering homeward like
The Darren's of old.

News: Juelz Santana Gives His Reality Show Pitch, "You [Can] See How The Swag Is Created" [Video]
Tuesday, Jul 5, 2011 6:00PM
Dipset's Juelz Santana recently detailed what his ideal reality show would encompass and which events over the past few years would be reason enough for his pitch to get picked up by a network.
Thinking back to his reconciliation with Cam'ron, Dipset reuniting and the hurdles they have conquered together, Santana believes a reality show could easily draw interest.
"Just juggling the lifestyle, being a father, an artist, a businessman, you know what I'm saying," Santana said when asked to pitch his ideal reality show. "Coming from, you know, the Diplomats and just the things I went through with Cam, getting over these humps, us getting back together. It's a lot of things going on that would definitely be very intriguing if I decided to open my life up like that to the people -- Me just starting new trends, going to stores, you see how the swag is created. Just being able to be that close to the swag everyday, in the life." (AHH Video)
Santana also shared his reaction to fellow Dipset member Jim Jones' "Love & Hip-Hop" reality show success.
"I feel like it was definitely a good thing for Jim because people see Jim as this bad guy," Juelz added referring to Jones' "Love & Hip-Hop" reality show. "It just allowed people to see an aspect of his life they might have never thought existed. He's got a girlfriend, they're in love, and everybody has problems. Like I said, you're going to go through it but their bond together is strong. At the end of the day, it is what it is. They're getting married soon, so shout out to them." (AHH Video)
Last spring, Jones talked to SOHH about initially turning down VH1's reality show offer.
"'Love & Hip-Hop' was initially my TV show that [VH1] has been trying to do for about four years now. But for three years prior, they had been trying to get me to do this reality show and they shot a pilot. I wasn't really feeling the pilot, because I felt the camera was too much on me and showing too much of my life as far as Jim Jones is concerned. So we had re-evaluated the situation." (SOHH)
Jim also said he offered VH1 an opportunity to gain his support if they found a way for his girlfriend Chrissy Lampkin to get her own show.
"My lady had an opportunity to shoot a pilot too, but the pilot she shot kind of fell through and she took interest in the whole reality show thing. So I went over to VH1 and told them if they want me to put my involvement in a TV show, or all of my involvement, they need to do a show behind her and I'll do it. I also said I'd find a way to participate in it to make sure it'll be a success. And that's really how the whole show came together. They went and got Olivia, Emily and the girl Somaya. Then they put them around Chrissy and now you have 'Love & Hip-Hop.' Two episodes in and it's feeling like a sitcom." (SOHH)

Being a Filipino, I see that there's a lack of Filipino video games out there. But I've yet to see people complain about it. Instead, I've seen Filipinos eke out making Filipino games (Streetfood Tycoon, SIPA: Street Kick!). It's not much, and we're just starting. But what you can be sure of, is we don't expect anyone else to do it for us.
Heck, I even read that among Asians that are humiliated/maligned in the West (read: Middle East), there are those that instead devote their efforts on creating games that voice their opinions (Run for Peace, Crowds: Voices of Tahrir).
If you're disappointed about the lack of video games that cater to you, why don't you start making games yourselves that you will enjoy?
That's what we're doing.
Asians everywhere
|Simon Ferrari
Hey bro, as an Actual Talking, Typing Human Baby and a member of Babies Against Feminist Mommies, I just wanted to let you know that I'm glad Asians Everywhere voted for such a sensible spokesperson. As a baby, I feel underserved by videogames. Very few of them are made to be playable by chewing or sucking on a controller, and there aren't many baby role models that I can look to in videogame characters. Because you're so good at linking to games by and for underserved communities, I was wondering if you could also share links to games made for or by other Talking, Typing Human Babies like myself.

the Breathe Easy Brigade wants to cure Cystic Fibrosis! by Kristi - 3 months ago
"My team, the Breathe Easy Brigade, participated in the Great Strides walk in Charleston, WV. We raised $3,108.00 to help find a cure for people living with Cystic Fibrosis (which includes me!). That amount was double the amount we raised last year! We loved our shirts for this year's walk! Custom Ink was so easy to work with and the customer service rep I placed an order with (Mike) was excellent! Custom Ink even made a donation towards our walk. It is nice to work with a company who actually has an interest in why people are ordering and the causes they support. Thank you Custom Ink! "

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Sidney Crosby says he's feeling pretty good but still isn't certain when he'll return from a broken jaw.
The Pittsburgh Penguins star addressed reporters Monday for the first time since taking a redirected slap shot off his face in a win over the New York Islanders on March 30. Crosby underwent dental surgery and spent two days in the hospital. He says he's not quite sure how many teeth were either lost or damaged.
Crosby is still on a liquid diet but isn't concerned about weight loss. He has not been cleared to practice. Crosby can afford to take his time. The Penguins clinched a playoff spot on Sunday night and barring a massive collapse will lock up the Atlantic Division title.
Pittsburgh begins a 3-game road trip on Tuesday in Carolina.

Sick teachers >> As a parent of an LCPS student, I am very upset that the state is requiring teachers to have two or fewer absences to receive the highest teacher rating. I, for one, do not want sick teachers infecting my daughter.
Crimson Cab >> Congratulations NMSU. It is great that you are providing a shuttle service for the students to and from the local clubs. It is about time. UTEP and UNM both have this service. Going to clubs is a part of college life. We did it in the 70's when this town had an abundance of night spots to frequent.Dial-A-Ride >> Suggestion for City Manager Robert Garza, reduce city expenses by drastically cutting the 16 full-time drivers and vans dedicated to the Dial-A-Ride service since less than a third of the rides being provided are for disabled citizens.Global warming >> Mr. Endlich's commentary is further proof that the "cottage industry" of global warming is pure bunk. Many people recognized it as a "cash cow," and have made their fortunes issuing the "sky is falling" warnings, only to pad their wallets.Minimum wage >> just read the profile of Kirk Clifton. He is so proud that he never left the area but he exhibits incredible narrow mindedness that comes from never experiencing the world from anybody else's perspective. He says he opposes minimum wage, but we are the second poorest state in the nation.Hooks column >> As a retired ordained minister of religion, with a doctorate in history of American religion, I am deeply puzzled why the Las Cruces Sun-News continues to publish columns by Neal Hooks. He is a pilot and teaches flying. He is badly misinformed on American history and the history of religion in America.
Steve Pearce >> Mis-Representatve Pearce voted against the people of New Mexico, again, when he followed the leader to shut down the Affordable Care Act.
Food stamps >> Steve Pearce and the House Republicans really have a way with words. Rather than calling their bill HR-3102, defunding of food stamps, they call it Nutrition Reform and Work Opportunity Act. Really?
Long receipt >> Yesterday I purchased one item at K-Mart and received a total of 46 inches of receipt, coupons, surveys, etc. This is typical everywhere these days, and I thought we were trying to SAVE trees, not destroy more!
ObamaCare >> The call from the Republican who said that they don't want to defund the government, just the failing ObamaCare for a year. Well, ObamaCare has not even started yet. It is 1/1/2014. We don't even know how well it is going to do. Let's wait and see.ObamaCare >> I am sick of hearing about Republicans and this hatred of Obama and this hatred of ObamaCare. That's been fought and fought and fought. You took it to the Supreme Court. We had a presidential election. You lost. Get over it.
Chemical weapons >> Concerning chemical weapons, I believe we should not only just concentrate on Syria getting rid of theirs and we should also concentrate and push North Korea and Israel to get rid of theirs also.NRA >> As a righteous gun owner myself, I don't judge other gun owners. I just judge the lunatic gun salesmen of the NRA.be heard >> Call 575-541-5466 or email email@example.com to submit a Sound Off! item.

Sep 19, 2013The brothers' commitment to their goal and to each other is so strong, the various parts of this game so superbly crafted and woven together, that it's hard not to feel deeply touched when you finally reach the end of the road and see how deftly this game marries its gameplay to its themes in a way few have before.
Aug 13, 2013Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an exquisitely told story set in a world overflowing with personality. It's an immersive, emotional gem that's not to be missed.
Sep 23, 2013It's easy to overlook a lot of what makes Brothers unique from first glance, its unassuming style belies a title with a lot more on its mind. But stick with it and you'll be rewarded with something really quite special.
Sep 27, 2013This is a breakthrough in what interactivity can accomplish with little aid from more traditional storytelling mechanics – its resulting importance to this medium is no exaggeration.
Oct 11, 2013Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a true marriage of gameplay and narrative, and it is frankly a complete triumph.
Oct 24, 2013A gorgeous world, bursting with personality. Great storytelling makes up for the short length and unchallenging puzzles.
Sep 16, 2013Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons shows that huge budgets aren't needed to thrill players and say something about the human condition using an interactive medium.
Score distribution:
Positive: 165 out of 191

Negative: 13 out of 191
Oct 10, 2013a little hidden gem in the world of videogames, a title that can be considered a true artwork, a masterpiece that can thrill you from start to finish. A plot that can keep you glued to the game for the duration of the story, although this is quite short, but given the quality of the game this is the only fault I could find...… Expand
Nov 5, 2013This is a lovely little game. I say little because it only took me five hours and I didn't feel inclined to replay it right away. It wasn't very expensive, if you don't count the Xbox controller it requires. Having to control two characters simultaneously was a nice challenge, and the basic message of love and cooperation was very satisfying. I also liked that the ending had real feeling that was different from what you get in most computer games. I took off a point for not being 'open-world': you have a fairly narrow path to follow. I didn't get most of the achievements, but they aren't integral to the story and it would take considerable random clicking to unlock most of them. There were a lot of passages that required imagination and ingenuity to solve; it reminded me of GW2 jumping puzzles or certain platformers. The lack of English dialog was, in some ways, a plus; it certainly wasn't hard to follow most of the conversations due to the cleverness of the drawing. Some plot twists were surprising. I certainly recommend this game ahead of most shooters I've played, mainly because of the emotional dynamics.… Expand
Jul 29, 2014I played this game without knowing much about it. I bought it on a steam sale and didn't play it until month later, convinced it probably wasn't that special. I was wrong. At first it seemed to be exactly what I expected: a simple little puzzle game with an original mechanic/gimmick (controlling two characters at the same time). Nice graphics, fun little puzzles, but nothing extraordinary. The longer I played the more it struck me how great the game looked though, with lots of different areas, from meadows to caves to the remains of war to frozen villages and beautiful lakes again. Also the puzzles kept varying constantly, so it never got repetitive. However, the best part about the game is the story. It starts with a very simple plot: save sick dad by traveling to some distant place to get a cure. Perfect little plot for a little game, I figured. For a long time it didn't seem to be any more than that, but the game has a big trick up it's sleeve and it's innocent appearance is part of it.… Expand

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a fairly original game where you control two brothers simultaneously, one with each joystick on your controller. Given its incredibly high Metacritic rating and uniqueness, one would think this would be a good game. Sadly, it is not.
The story of this game is supposed to be one of its big draws. It is, essentially, the quintessential sad story. The brothers' mother drowns, their father gets sick, and it falls to the two of them to go through the world, overcoming challenges to get the cure for him. The story, as it were, is very sparse; there's a few moments where the brothers help out each other, such as the big brother diving in to help the younger one throughout one level, and then at the end of the game, when the big brother gets hurt, it is the little brother's turn to help out.
It ends with the older brother dying just before the cure gets to him, the brother returning home with the cure for his father, and them kneeling before the mother's and brother's graves.
The characters all speak in simlish, and ultimately communicate via gestures. Unfortunately, the net effect of this was to make me not care about them at all; I understood their personalities to some extent, but I never connected to them as people, and thus I didn't ever really care about them. Indeed, the very nature of the game - using the two brothers as pieces to solve the puzzles - really divorced me from caring about them.
This game is interesting by being simultaneously innovative and mediocre. The underlying idea behind the game is clever - you control two characters and you have to use them to overcome various puzzles and challenges. There are times when you have to be moving both characters around at the same time, and times when one character stands there and holds a lever down (or just waits) for the other brother to do stuff.
The game is at its best when you need to use both brothers at once to do stuff, but unfortunately, while the gameplay mechanic sounds really neat, it actually gets pretty old after a while; most of the puzzles are fundamentally fairly similar, and while you do various actions, none of the puzzles are particularly difficult or challenging. It generally is very obvious what you are supposed to do, which sounds like a good thing until you realize that it means that the game is more or less leading you by the nose throughout its length. There's only a few points at which the mechanics are all that interesting; for much of the rest of the game, after the beginning, you're more or less repeating yourself, with the odd new puzzle added in.
The game did do something fairly clever at the end, though; after the older brother dies, the younger brother is left on his own. Throughout the rest of the game, the younger brother has been afraid of swimming, having to cling to his older brother for support when in the water. At the very end of the game, he is faced with no choice but to swim, and the controller vibrates as you push up to the edge of the water; only by using the older brother's action button can you swim across it. You also have to summon his strength again to pull down a lever which previously only he could move.
Unfortunately, while this was clever, it wasn't very deep, and that's the trouble with the whole game - it is very shallow.
The graphics of the game are okay but not amazing; the characters are all cartoony, but they aren't quite high polygon enough to really look as good as they should. There are some moments in the game where things are very pretty looking, but on the whole, it isn't nearly so nice looking.
Final Summary
Brothers has an interesting central mechanic, but unfortunately the overall game is very shallow. It is pretty short - clocking in at about 4 hours in length for 100% completion, less if you don't explore all the areas fully - but even in that time it gets repetitive. It is not worth your time.… Expand

Here are my latest NCAA and NIT bracket projections. The teams below are displayed below on an S-curve, so they are ranked from left to right within each seeding line. In the NCAA bracket, the italicized teams are ones who have either won their conference tourney championship or are predicted to win their conference tourney and gain an automatic bid to the dance. The italicized teams in my NIT projection have clinched an auto bid to that tournament by winning their regular season conference championship and then losing in the conference tournament. Also, just to clarify, my bracket projection is intended to project the NCAA Tournament field if it was chosen today. Unlike some bracketologists, I am not trying to predict how each team will finish the season.
On a personal note, I just wanted to say that I went to the MEAC Quarterfinals last night, and let me just say that if Norfolk State wins the conference tourney title on Saturday, they're going to be a very dangerous 16 seed in the Big Dance. This bracket projection has been updated through all games played on Wednesday March 7th.

1-seeds: Kentucky, Syracuse, North Carolina, Kansas
2-seeds: Missouri, Duke, Ohio State, Marquette

Although the man in red got top billing at the Santa Parade, what's a parade without floats?
The crowd that came out Sunday to kick off the Christmas season was treated to several floats created by schools, businesses and other organizations throughout the community.
Most of the floats centered around this year's parade theme, the Shoe-la-bration, while all had the Christmas spirit.
Before the parade started, the carefully crafted floats were studied as event judges picked the day's best.
Whittier Tech's float, depicting Dogs in Shoe Town, won the grand prize of the day for the best original float. Its flat bed was decked out with moving parts, cartoon pooches and extensive holiday decorations.
Whittier Tech won the same honor during the 44th annual parade last year.
Awards were also given out to first and second place winners in the business, school and individual categories.
The Sacred Hearts School took first place in the schools division with its Sole Train float complete with a smoking and bubbling train engine. The second-place school float was created by the Merrimack Montessori School.
Crescent Yacht Club won the first-place award for the individual category with their Wizard of Oz float complete with a giant pair of Dorothy's iconic ruby slippers. Second place in the individual category went to STARS, , who were also inspired by Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Lion and the Tin Man.
Cedardale Health and Fitness was awarded first place for the business category. Its float featured a Shoeville Sweet Shoppe, a Shoeville Fitness Center and several people dressed as elves tossing candy to the crowd. The second-place business float was created by Pentucket Bank, which featured a flat bed with two Soles of Haverhill shoes, the old woman who lived in a shoe, and the bank's CEO Ken Smith wearing Mickey Mouse-esque gloves and a Christmas tree hat.
Best Original Float
Grand Prize: Whittier Tech
Most Original/Creative Floats
First-Place, Business: Cedardale Athletics
First-Place, School: Sacred Hearts
First-Place, Individual: Crescent Yacht Club
Second-Place, Business: Pentcucket Bank
Second-Place, School: Merrimack Montessori
Second-Place, Individual: STARS

The Center for Regional and Global Study will host a "Global Issues Presentation" titled "The New Weapons of Mass Destruction" at 12:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3 in room 921 of the Batten Arts and Letters Building.
The presentation features Aaron Karp, an adjunct instructor in political science at Old Dominion University and a senior consultant to the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey and consultant to the United Nations' Secretary-General on proliferation Issues.
In July 2001 the United Nations held its first major disarmament conference in a decade. To the surprise of many, this concentrated not on nuclear or state-of-the-art weapons, but on the issue of small arms. Responsible for more than 90 percent of all death in warfare (over 300,000 annually) small arms -- ranging from guns to simple rocket launchers -- are the real weapons of mass destruction. Even so, the UN Small Arms Conference was anything but a major success, leaving enormous cloud of doubt and uncertainty.
The free session will explore the following questions: Why are small arms so difficult for the international community to deal with? What do they reveal about the problems of international security and policy-making in the 21st century?

However refreshing the New York Islanders' current three-game win streak is, the fastest way to stink it up would be to lose to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Tonight's snow-pocalyptic contest between the New York Islanders and the Chicago Blackhawks is a match between two teams at opposite ends of the standings. But two Americans have similar axes to...

Coming off their third consecutive home overtime loss -- separated by a 1-4 road trip -- the New York Islanders will ice the same lineup as in the 1-0 OT defeat to Montreal.
The Islanders will se invasion of away fans -- visiting once again during awful winter weather -- who will take advantage of the NHL's near-polar opposites in terms of supply and demand. But on the...
