Tell Us What You'd Want if SEGA Made Another Console
Posted on Thursday, October 13 @ 15:37:10 Eastern by Anthony Severino
We're just one day away from unveiling the GameRevolution-built next-gen console of all our wildest, wettest dreams. There's just a few key ingredients missing. Ingredients which we must pluck from the hardcore SEGA fans out there.
SEGA Genesis was the first console to make Nintendo sweat through their power gloves. Without SEGA, the landscape of video games today would be very different. If making an ultimate console mash-up, we couldn't leave out SEGA.
If SEGA got back into the console business, what would you want to see in a new SEGA console?

$300 for a new phone, or $700? The answer might surprise you.
A while ago Chris Ziegler wrote a post that in the end he recommends an iPhone to someone asking his expert advice. Recently, I, an expert-at least more to the Ziegler side of things than the lay folk-had to make this choice for myself.
Alright, Nexus 4, there I said it. It seems obvious: an only slightly too large screen, pure android, large resolution, amazing processor, and that price, the one factor that steps on all the twos of all the other phones out now. However I knew this required a little more thought.
What factors in a phone do I need?
- A phone without charge left is useful for nothing, a good battery
- I have a DSLR and eyefi, a large screen and resolution
- I'm a student, this one is more complicated
What factors do I know about myself
Engadget covered android quite a bit before it came out I wasn't interested until about a week before it came out. I got the sdk, used the emulator and realized how incredibly useful having google in my pocket would be. So I picked up the G1, and I was right. I still miss quite a few aspects of the G1 3.7 inch phone and the thick sides made it the easiest device to grip ever. Every year phones get thinner and more rounded making them harder to hold and more slippery, what the hell. Anyways the natural progression of having the G1 is of course the Nexus One. I've been rocking the Nexus One ever since, with quite a bit of pride. However, as of late the 128mbs of storage and a slightly broken usb port were really starting to wear me down.
How the perfect phone met its end
I had my phone laying on the bed charging I rolled over and the charging port got bent. Since then the port will eject the cable like it has a spring in it. I had to use a cable that is bent 90 degrees so I could put a rubber band around the phone to hold the cord in. Then as Apps are updated and updated they get bigger and bigger, to the point that the 128mbs of space was filled with Google's core service apps and newsrob and doggcatcher (my favorite way to consume news on the verge) I had to give up dropbox and Google Drive, astrid, tasker, many others.
How the nexus fell from perfection
When gingerbread was released and I waited a month for it to find its way to my phone, THE NEXUS ONE! I lost a bit a faith and installed CyanogenMod. That crack in my nexus faith lead me to tried the HTC sensation. It had an increased resolution, a camera that could do 1080p recording (I didn't have my DSLR at the time so I was quite happy for a better camera) however, Sense was driving me nuts and cyandogenmod couldn't use the camera. I was switching constantly. Flashing a rom takes quite a bit of battery too by the way. I sold the Sensation and went back to the Nexus. The experience gave me the impression I needed stock android. However, Cyanogenmod is not stock android, but I didn't understand this until recently. I thought I had to have another nexus. I never was able to raise the money to get a Galaxy Nexus. Mr. Ziegler and Mr. Savov had a disagreement about nexus VS skinned android. I sided with Savov at first. Now, I know that Sense is just bad and some skins can be good, especially if you have a good hardware underneath. Cyanogenmod is a skin after all, and Ziegler wrote that the nature UX was a completely acceptable skin of android.
Where do we go from here?
I mentioned earlier I have a DSLR and eyefi to zap pictures to my phone. I had this dream, one I never pursued for obvious reasons. I wanted to go downtown Portland on weekends and photograph people who looked like they were on a date or having a good time and then approach them, offer the picture (for free) to them over email, and encourage tips via Square payments. I knew this inevitably would land me in the back of a police car.
Despite that, those values are still important to me. I know a large screen isn't the answer for displaying pictures, but I was going to show these pictures to normal people who don't really care or notice pixel pitch. When at school I may want to share internet to another device; a battery intensive task. I knew everything would feel twice as fast as my nexus and then some; the processor holds little weight in choosing my next phone, with one notable exception; the snapdragon S4 dual core being great on battery life and very fast.
I'm fully entrenched in the Google ecosystem: Windows phone, iPhone. Sorry no go.
Some candidates I had brewing in my mind for a while: The GS3, Galaxy Note 2, Nexus 4. It was easy to eliminate the GS3 and many other android phone by just being another android smartphone, when for software updates only the Nexus 4 is a better bargain. So that left two competitors. If you follow my Google+ page I flip flopped often. An Individual breakdown of features from either phone left them neck and neck.
+1| -1
Engadget's review of the Nexus 4 left the battery wanting, while the GN2's 3100mah battery made clear by Mr. Savov was a champion.
Screen sizes of 4.7 and 5.5 are both too big. The Nexus 4 tiptoeing ahead with 46 vertical lines of resolution isn't worth noting, basically a wash here.
Mr. Topolsky's review of the Nexus 4 with a cracked back isn't what bothered me. What bothered me, was this path had been taken before. The iPhone 4. Glass back and all are in the history books. So why Google (or maybe LG I don't know who made the call) walks down the very same path? I'm disappointed a company making billions of dollars by learning everything about... everything. Willingly chooses a known mistake, and its not skin deep, it gets worse. iFixit's teardown of the Nexus 4 left a lot to be desired: nonremovable battery that requires tools to replace and could irreparably damage your phone by doing so, a lack of impact cushion zones, and a glass back afterall is a negative in of itself.
This one is so easy its weighted on my comparison. The N4 is less than half the price of the GN2. Wow, well done.
We don't need more factors, we need a combination
This has left us with the GN2 at +1, not enough to make a clear decision.
I considered a list of factors as one and what they implied. The Nexus 4 has a nonremovable battery, materials that break, a smaller battery that will require more charging, and a lesser internal build design which lead me to believe it may have a shorter life span. Would it even last as long as my Nexus One? Would it break leaving me only to have to buy another which would bring the cost very close to the GN2. The Nexus One lasted me two years. I have hopes the GN2 could last me four. Bringing the cost per two years $350 for the GN2 and $300 for the Nexus 4.
In my opinion LTE isn't real, with subtypes that are incompatible, over different frequencies; a total mess, however for some, its a key feature. My coworker has a GS3 on AT&T we both did speed tests. My T-mobile hspa+ beat AT&T LTE by 1mb down, 0.1mb up, and 30ms ping difference. This pretext leads to me my next combination though. If I am to share internet a battery intensive operation. The device with LTE and a bigger battery wins against a device that shares internet without letting the carriers know. Despite being evil. The carriers do have to make money, and selling their services sounds like a pretty good way to do it. It is evil to charge you twice for the same data though.
The Spen would be very helpfully for multiple reasons: explaining a complex concept with visual aids, taking notes at school, Square payment signatures. A really minor advantage but enough to be noted(SPOILER: until I discovered the Spen for myself, too which is an indescribable bliss to take free form hand written notes, with the power of wolfram alpha and google built in.)
Now as I've destroyed the climax. Here it is; I bought the Galaxy note 2. Off-contract for $700 at a T-mobile store, switched my plan to a value plan to pay less than $80 a month for two phones (no hotspot included, I can add it for an extra $15 a month, or root the GN2, or use a bluetooth keyboard and try passing up a laptop entirely for school). I wanted another htc nexus, and LG seems to have come up so short on this nexus, that paying $700 is a better option for me than paying $300.
Next time you're deciding your next phone, don't just think of features and compare a list, but compare how those features work together as one.

Moving From Soviet Domination to Press Freedom
Creating an independent and financially viable press is hard.
By John Maxwell Hamilton
Trainer Robert Tonsing leads a workshop for Georgian journalists in Tbilisi in May. Tonsing presented his workshops as part of the ProMediaII-Georgia program, sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development and administered by the International Center for Journalists.
Photo by Irina Abjandadze.
Roman Gotsiridze, head of the Georgian Parliament's Budget Office, has a brainstorm for saving the independent news media in this fledgling democracy: government financing. To Americans this is heresay. By definition, a strong press is not dependent on government. But after several years of training journalists in former Soviet-controlled nations, it is easy to see why reformers like Gotsiridze embrace such chimera.
The easy part, it is now clear, was toppling communism. The hard part is creating a functioning democracy on top of the rubble. Georgians must build virtually every institution from scratch—and that includes news media that provide reliable social, political and economic information.
The best place to start looking for problems is in the economy. The early transition to a market-driven system eliminated government-guaranteed jobs, health care, and housing. Nearly two-thirds of Georgians now live below subsistence levels. Few can afford 20 or 25 cents for a newspaper, let alone the products sold in them. Advertisers have little incentive to buy advertising space. Four or five years ago, the newspaper Droni appeared six times a week with three or four pages of ads in each issue. Now it appears four times a week with a page or less of ads each time. Compounding the problem is the media's lack of experience selling ads or providing fair, balanced reporting. Journalists often see newly won press freedom as an opportunity to express their own opinions, not facts.
Several newspapers in the capital city of Tbilisi had a circulation of 300,000 or more during the first heady days of freedom. Today, none of this city's eight newspapers has a regular readership of more than 5,000; a dozen or so have even smaller audiences. "We were very independent four or five years ago," a worried newspaper editor says. "But now we are hardly surviving." Reporters' salaries typically amount to less than $150 a month, hardly a wage to inspire dedicated service. It is less surprising that some journalists take bribes than that some do not.
While media are not profitable, business and political leaders are eager to invest in them. These "dark forces," as Gotsiridze calls these owners, finance news organizations in order to promote their own agenda. When bosses want access to the press, he says, they buy one. This summer a government official raised a furor by suggesting that a television journalist leave the country to avoid assassination. Heavy-handed press treatment by the government, however, is rarer in Georgia than in some nearby countries.
Belarus's President Aleksandr Lukashenko pines for the good old days when he ran a collective farm. The head of his state Committee on the Press, whom I interviewed in 1998, reprimanded newspapers that accurately reported unpleasant statements by the weak political opposition. After three warnings, he said, the courts could close the paper. Meanwhile, Russian journalists critical of the government have been beaten or killed.
Georgia, however, epitomizes the dysfunctional, uncivil society that emerges when journalists cannot do their jobs adequately. Without accurate and timely news, rumor and suspicion rule. The euphoria over freedom gives way to cynicism. When foreign organizations make grants to local good-government associations, the common Georgian reaction is that someone had a special in. Jockeying for a place at the foreign aid trough is intense—and creative. One of the most novel new organizations is the Association of Young Grandmothers. Outright corruption is rampant. Police officers shake down motorists in front of the Parliament. President Eduard Shevardnadze is widely seen as tolerating corruption and helping his family get its share.
Taxation, as new to Georgia as a free press, is haphazard and dishonest. Tax collectors often pocket revenues. Fear of becoming visible to the taxman discourages businesses from advertising.
Because he believes that an independent press is crucial to curbing corruption, Gotsiridze concocted his media-financing scheme. Parliament, however, cannot possibly sustain every worthy news operation. And who is to say who is worthy? Members of Parliament will do the sensible thing and support newspapers that support them.
The World Bank, which is promoting economic reform, tried its own version of Gotsiridze's idea through a loan to the Georgia government to create an English-language newspaper, EcoDigest. Ken Jacques, a former reporter for Congressional Quarterly and CNN who became a bank-paid consultant to the central government, is the author of the idea. EcoDigest provides better than average salaries, aggressively advertises itself on bus billboards, and concentrates on sound economic reporting. Even so, circulation is only 2,000. Many Georgians are suspicious of ties to the government.
Both Georgian and foreign critics say the bank's venture sets a bad example. The best outcome, Jaques admits, is for a private investor to buy EcoDigest and build on its solid approach to news.
Meanwhile, Gotsiridze remains in his cramped but tidy office thinking of ways to bolster a free press. Parliament could vote to exempt media from taxes, although he worries that might encourage media companies to do what the tax-free Writers' Union does. It imports beer, cigarettes, mushrooms and gas, which it then sells at a handsome profit. His plans to curb the Writers' Union include stopping direct funding for that body and giving the money to individual writers.
The only true road to a free press is not government financing but patience. In the early United States republic, the press was wild and irresponsible. The turning point did not come until the mid-19th century, when media owners realized that the best way to sell newspapers to the burgeoning middle class was through fact-based reporting. Even then, sensational journalism continued in many newspapers for decades.
Young Georgian journalists, especially, are hungry to learn the skills of factual reporting and eager to find ways to sustain it financially. On my last day in the regional city of Telavi, three enthusiastic young women showed me a plan for creating a local news report that could be inserted into a newspaper. They hoped that a Tbilisi publisher would give them financing in exchange for better entree to Telavi.
Enterprise like this was the engine of our own press system. With a little luck, Georgia's will mature faster than our own did.
"What I have learned," the World Bank's Jacques says, is that "if you chip away at it, you have done a damn good job."

The Baltic centre opens at last. Can an "art factory" revive Britain's post-industrial North-East?
For anyone who knew Gateshead and Newcastle, twin gatekeepers of the Tyne, in the days when they were industrial rather than post-industrial cities, the picture they present today is an extraordinary transformation. Most impressive of all is Baltic, which at £46m is the biggest contemporary art centre outside London. Back in the 1970s, they'd have hit you if you'd suggested anything so fancy would ever appear on the quayside.

Tax Law
Maryland Is Home Sweet Home for Congressmen Seeking Tax Break
Posted Mar 19, 2009 12:10 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A senior member of Congress who was elected in California has reportedly saved $3,853 in 2007 and 2008 taxes by claiming a home in Maryland as his principal residence. And he's apparently not the only federal lawmaker from another state who has been doing so.
Rep. Pete Stark, 77, the second-ranking Democrat on the House Ways & Means Committee, is registered to vote in California, using the address of his wife's parents, and has a California driver's license, reports Bloomberg. However, he claims a waterfront house in Maryland, where he says he spends about two-thirds of the year, as his main home.
"Insofar as I know, I'm obeying the law," Stark tells the news agency. The Maryland house is the only home he owns, he notes.
However, another federal lawmaker, Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) was declared ineligible for such a Maryland tax credit. And the state says it is looking into similar tax claims by other members of Congress, the news agency reports.
"I have always abided by whatever determination the Montgomery County Assessment Office makes," says Engel said in an e-mailed statement. "I have never asked for any special privileges for being a congressman."
A spokesman for the state says Maryland has been recently checking the eligibility of all homeowners for the tax break, but doesn't intend to seek refunds concerning past years for those now determined to be ineligible.

I am just looking at the Steelers contracts and who needs to be resigned at the end of this season. I am going to rank them in tier's of importance to the team.
Tier 1:
Lawrence Timmons: Obviously by hyimself as the most important re-signing this season. Even though Woodley needs to be resigned as well, Timmons has the potential to be one of the best ILB's I have ever seen play the game and I want to see him in the Black and Gold for years to come. Hopefully we resign him to some sort of 5 to 7 year deal and we won't have to worry about this for a long time
Tier 2:
LaMaar Woodley: He is by far the second most important signing this off season. However, I do not think he is as important as Timmons because as you have seen this season he has not made too much of an impact. I think he could be replaced through the combination of Gibson, Worthington, and Worlids. However, I do not want to see him go. If we can get Timmons to a 6 year deal and we can sign Woodley to a 4 to 5 year deal I would be extremely happy with the offseason as long as we draft well and resign a couple other pieces
Tier 3:
Willliam Gay: We have all seen how good he is as a nickel corner. If he can make the jump to the #2 corner next year we can become a very good, young secondary with him, Butler, and Lewis.I would love to see him signed to a 3 to 5 year deal.
Ike Taylor: He is our #1 corner. We do need him back but he is replacable if we have to. However, I would love to see him get a 2 to 3 year deal so one of our young corners does not need to jump into the #1 spot and instead can work into it.
Tier 4:
Daniel Sepulveda: He is a hell of a punter and it would be great to get him back. A 3 to 4 year deal would be great to get from him.
Chris Hoke: It would be good to resign him to a 1 or 2 year deal so we can keep the depth at NT
Trai Essex: Signing him is not that important if Legursky keeps playing well but for depth purposes a 1 or 2 year deal would be nice
Willie Colon: Unfortanutley, I don't think we will be resigning him because his price tag is too steep. The way the line has played this year the Steelers probably won't make him an offer. But if he recovers well and we can sign him to a cheap deal for 3 or 4 years I would love it.
Tier 5:
Jeff Reed: Not super important but he is a pretty good kicker at home.
Tony Hills: Just for depth purposes
Dennis Dixon: almost no chance we sign him back but could be a serviceable backup if Leftwitch is no longer.
Tier 6:
Mewelde Moore: I would be happier if we did not resign him
Matt Spaeth: Hopefully we draft a TE in the later round's and move on from Spaeth.
Andre Frazier: Mostly a special teams player. Not a big deal if we sign him or not.

Persona 4 Gets Golden Special Edition Bundle
Posted on Friday, August 24 @ 03:21:29 Eastern by Heath_Hindman
Atlus USA has announced an extremely limited edition bundle for its upcoming RPG, Persona 4: The Golden for PlayStation Vita. Held to only 10,000 copies, the pack will include stickers, a protective Vita skin (at participating retailers), a hard pouch, and a Vita face cover. Oh, and I guess they're throwing in the game, too.
Dubbed the "Solid Gold Premium Edition", the pack will retail for $69.99, and presumably sell on eBay for like double that a year or two from now. This enhanced version of the PS2 classic doesn't yet have an exact release date, but Atlus USA is declaring "Fall 2012" on its website.

Please tell me the meanings of those phrases.
Thank you very much,Raymott.
"take a road" is used in this sentence.
"I took a road that went along a narrow vally,and then up onto the moor again.
I understand the usage of "take". I appreciate your help.

For it's one of the fundamental pleasures of travel, isn't it? To see something new, and worthwhile, and fully unexpected. And Foam 3h – a wing of the museum that is devoted to the work of "talented young photographers" – currently delivers, with a beguiling show by the 30-something photographer Annegien van Doorn. Consisting of three videos, four large photographs, and a discrete installation, the show is modest in scale. But it combines an acute attentiveness to detail with an impish playfulness in generating an atmosphere of delightful possibility and surprising complexity. By taking relatively banal domestic objects – plastic cutting boards, or a canister of air freshener, or a pack of ball point pens – and placing them in unexpected roles or positions, van Doorn reimagines pedestrian quotidian reality, inflecting the everyday with qualities that range from humorously graceful to coyly sinister.
Consider, for instance, Domestic Science, a 2'53" video that is the most ambitious work in the show. In rapid succession, we see 34 different scenarios, in which everyday household items are subjected to pressures or placed in constrictive settings. A door groans ominously as it swings toward a tube of Colgate on the floor; soon the tube, pressured, emits a slow ribbon of toothpaste. Two eggs are placed delicately in the armpits of a faceless woman – who then presses inward, cracking them. A plastic bag holding a slew of oranges gives way, yielding a tumble of fruit, and a cylinder of processed potato chips is inverted, revealing a tenuous column of crisps – which soon topples over. Shot, for the most part, in a neutrally objective manner, the video seems to document an earnest series of idle experiments: what would happen, we can imagine van Doorn thinking, if I were to drop this bag of flour, or to place this chocolate rabbit on that heating element?

Knutsen, Naudascher find closure
"Yesterday, almost nine years after 13-year-old Brittanie Cecil died after being struck by a hockey puck, Naudascher finally met the man who had been carrying around his own anguish for the loss of her little girl. Espen Knutsen, the former Columbus Blue Jackets player who shot the puck that struck Brittanie, embraced the trembling mother the moment he saw her, and the two began the closure that had escaped them both." This story covers the emotional meeting between Knutsen and Naudascher. Its a shame that so many made Knutsen look like a bad guy because of a fluke accident. I'm glad to hear that there are no ill feelings toward anyone after what happened that night almost nine years ago. This is a great heart-warming story.

to make people's day. haha. the girl that did the highs in this band was fiiiinnee.
it's great that crappy bands like this are usually comprised of idiots, so they don't last long together.
Good because they were dire.

I liked them even though they were repeatitive.
i've known about this for a while. i kind of liked them though.
almost as bad as AOAA or Dr. Acula.
AOAA is decent, in my opinion, but dr. acula is the worst band ever, hands down.
almost as bad as AOAA or Dr. Acula.
*high-fives for everyone!*
You mean some of them didn't want to play some generic monotonous wanna be grind deathcore piece of shit?
Say it ain't so.

Well, it was supposed to happen today, but it looks like the St. Regis Abu Dhabi's opening will be delayed--this time until April 15th.
Guess you shouldn't rush what promises to be one glam piece of property with 283 gussied-up guest rooms including 40 grand suites, including one actually located on a bridge that offers second-to-none Arabian Gulf views. Then there's the 24-hour butler service that each guest is entitled to.
In other news that's sure to make UAE travelers happy, Ibis, which identifies itself as an "economy" brand of hotels, is making its long-awaited debut in Abu Dhabi.
Ibis Abu Dhabi Gate, as it will be known, will open this month in Musaffah at the entrance of the city, near the Abu Dhabi Int'l Airport (AUH), Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, with rates starting at $61/night.
While the 252-room hotel is the brand's first in Abu Dhabi, Ibis in fact already owns no less than five hotels in neighboring Dubai, the cheapest of which has rates starting as low as $65/night. ]]>

Thoughts on my new Chromebook 11
So, I don't know if other people are getting it yet who pre-ordered, but just got my new Chromebook 11 at my doorstep after work today, and I just thought I'd share some of my first impressions:
The screen is really good for such an inexpensive machine. In fact, the color reproduction and viewing angles rival the 11" MacBook Air based on my experience.
It's not that slow. I haven't really tried to push it's limits yet, but I have The Verge, music playing from Pandora, YouTube, Gmail, CNN and Business Insider open and there are no hiccups or the janky scrolling that horrified Joshua on the Vergecast the other week. I just played a 720p clip on Youtube and it played very smoothly. In fact, the same Gravity trailer David used for his review video. 1080p did skip a frame or two, but there's no point in playing that kind of video on this machine anyway, so what's the point?
The touchpad is not so great. It may be both hardware and software, but using the touchpad here isn't very pleasing. It has too much friction and it tends to drag on your finger, so the cursor goes dotting around the screen sometimes. It's not that bad, and after about 30 minutes I got used to it for the most part. I guess every new touchpad/mouse has a slight learning curve, but this one was particularly jarring for this first few minutes. It's one of those "did they try it first?!" things with PC manufacturers that always perplexes me, but in this case Google had the final say, you'd think they would have done something about it.
Another gripe: the moment I turned it on it downloaded a 20 minute upgrade that was "critical" and I suppose had to be downloaded right then. It may have been an update to fix some bugs that the earlier models had, so no real complaint there, just kind of annoying.

What started out as a routine press conference turned into a stunning emotional confession from former heavy weight boxing champion Mike Tyson.
Tyson was out promoting a fight when he said he was on the verge of dying because he's a vicious alcoholic.
"I have not drank or took drugs in six days and for me that's a miracle. I've been lying to everybody else saying that I'm sober, but I am not. This is my sixth day and I'm never gonna use again."
Tyson seemed shocked that he was even making the admission.
People at the press conference applauded his honesty.
Tyson says he wants to change his life and live sober. He said he's done a lot of bad things and wants forgiveness.
He was out promoting his first fight as promoter with his new company, Iron Mike Productions.

I've got to believe someone who has been around the block as long as Kobe has, sometimes in reverse, would have better shtick than: "Come to Hollywood and be Door No. 3" ...
...I sent Kobe the story and asked him to confirm, deny or both depending on the paragraph.
"Omg! I'm not getting mixed up in this kiddy drama spit, bro. Too old for that spit," Bryant responded via email.
Vecsey answered: " I understand your position. But if it's untrue, any of it, and allowed to circulate throughout the league, which is already happening, I would think you'd want to say it's not."
"Its not true," Kobe responded
As far as the denial, what else is Kobe supposed to say. Peter Vecsey should know that, but clearly skepticism was only required for the part of the story that was convenient to his storyline.
What I found most telling from this story was Kobe's first reaction to the statement. I think that says a lot about Kobe's opinion of Dwight's maturity level and in an indirect way confirms his rumored statement.

|The view from here
|Written by Thomas J. Nee
In Boston, it's now official. A scandal associated with hiring practices at the Probation Department has prompted the age-old debate about the Civil Service System. It seems like every year, our union, the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association, is in court or in the legislature fighting to stop the erosion or even abolishment of the time tested civil service merit based standards and procedures. In 1883, Massachusetts became one of the first states in the nation to adopt a "merit hiring" or "civil service" law to stop the rampant practices of favoritism, cronyism, patronage and other forms of corrupt hiring and promotion practices.
The law was created as a reaction against hiring and firing practices that were heavily influenced by politicians and other forms of corruption. While such practices have not been completely eradicated, they have not been as pervasive as the years before we had a civil service system.
Recently the editorial board of one of our daily newspapers, The Boston Herald, took another swipe at Civil Service in the wake of the Probation Department scandal. Chiefs of police, municipal managers, elected officials and activists are currently trying to weaken and even dismantle the system in the name of "reform."
They argue that civil service should be repealed because the system is obsolete and not relevant in 2010 as it was in the 1890's. Yet few will honestly deny that corruption, cronyism, and favoritism still exist and can be far more costly to the taxpayers than a "merit based hiring and promotional civil service system" even an imperfect one.
We've all heard their rhetoric-that repealing strict civil service standards would give employers more "flexibility" in hiring or promoting the personnel they believe are truly the most qualified. Of course no judgment is more biased than the subjective view of an employer who hires or promotes someone because they are more comfortable with them.
And without constraints the employer has no trouble disciplining or even firing someone because, for whatever reason, they are not comfortable with them. The BPPA has had a long history of passionately arguing that protections offered by Civil Service law are essential for fairness regardless of race, creed, color, religion, gender, or political affiliation.
Without the protections insured by the Civil Service System with regards to hiring, firing, promotion and discipline, the profession of law enforcement will be seriously diminished.

Carson Palmer is NOT going anywhere like It or not (yes Jimbasa I'm talking to you) we're not drafting a QB in the first or second round, It's pretty simple. Carson Palmer is Mike Browns biggest investment ever. Did you catch that last word EVER! You know what that means? He has a gigantic man crush on the guy. It's such a bad crush he signed and promoted his little brother to back him up. If history goes to show us anything Mikey typically doesn't swallow the apple (only hot dogs) and admit he made a mistake.(whether or not Carsons contract was a mistake is a different debate) On top of that he's not one to cut a major investment once that investment has proved to be a success at some point.(see Chad Ochocinco crying to leave Cincinnati in 2008) Like it or not the guy has had 2 playoff appearances and 2 Pro-Bowl appearances. I've been down on Palmer a lot myself this year and I've been really confused on how to feel about his performances. That doesn't change the fact that again this is Mikey's boy.
To Mike Brown this is the man. Did you guys know he's on pace for a 4,000 yard season? He's thrown 21 touchdowns this year? Sure he's had 18 interceptions and a lot of them were for 6 points but that doesn't change the fact that on paper he looks pretty solid this year besides his QB rating. You can argue and I know a lot of you will (yes Jimbasa I'm talking to you) that these numbers are inflated because of garbage time and prevent defenses and blah blah blah. You're wasting your breath. The Patriots game is a perfect example of those arguments. I counter with "did you watch them play the Jets on Monday Night Football?" This is a team that doesn't put the breaks on for ANYONE! I hate to break your poor souls but you can forget about Luck and forget about Newton because Carson Palmer isn't going anywhere like it or not. (Tru tell'em whats up partna!)

|Myanmar backtracks on aid group expulsion
A day after Doctors Without Borders announced its expulsion from Myanmar, the government has backpedaled, saying the aid group will be allowed to resume operations everywhere but Rakhine, a state plagued by bouts of sectarian violence.
The Nobel Peace Prize-winning group, known by its French acronym MSF, said in a statement that it had been allowed to resume work in Kashin and Shan states, as well as the Yangon region.
"While MSF is encouraged by this and will resume these activities for now, MSF remains extremely concerned about the fate of tens of thousands of vulnerable people in Rakhine state who currently face a humanitarian medical crisis," it said.
"All MSF services are provided based on medical need only, regardless of ethnicity, religion or any other factor."
The group has been giving care in Rakhine state to both ethnic Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims, a mostly stateless minority who live in apartheid-like conditions and who otherwise have little access to health care.
The United Nations and human rights groups say at least 40 Rohingya were killed by security forces and ethnic Rakhine Buddhist civilians in a restricted area of the state in January.

Burnley Bobcats swimmers help county retain title
2:44pm Tuesday 13th November 2012 in Grass Roots news
BURNLEY Bobcats swimmers Jamie Sharpley and William Murray helped Lancashire retain their title in the British Gas ASA National County Team Championships in Sheffield.
The boys knew they had a tough task as Lancashire had won the title for the last 10 years and the pressure was on to maintain this winning streak.
Lancashire were competing in Division One and along with Middlesex and Hertfordshire showed their strength from the start.
Then Yorkshire took their turn at the top of the leader board following a string of dominant swims. At the halfway point Yorkshire led their northern rivals by six points, with a total of 289, followed closely by Lancashire's 283 and third-placed Somerset's 261points. But after 24 events, Yorkshire were forced to relinquish their lead – with Lancashire fighting back making it 360 points apiece.
The two counties played cat and mouse for the remainder of the session, with some convincing relay wins putting Lancashire in good stead for the title.
However, with only the Mixed Open 6x50m Freestyle relay to go, just two points separated the rivals. Yorkshire suffered an early set back touching in tenth place after the first leg, while the Lancashire team of Alex Dunk, Will Murray, Brearnna Close, Anna Doughty, Nathan Bennett and Jessica Lloyd stormed ahead of the field to claim the win and thus seal the championship title winning for the 11th consecutive year in what proved to be one of the most hotly contested competitions yet.
Jamie, 13m played his part by swimming in the boys age 12/13 100m backstroke, recording a time of 1.07.16 and100m butterfly swimming 1.07.31 and taking the backstroke leg in the medley relay.
Will, 15, meanwhile swam in the boys age 14/15 100m freestyle finishing in fourth place in a time of 53.78, and took part in a relay.
