"We plot the books together, we talk about them before any writing
is done, and then we share, almost every day, whatever it is we've
written .... We give it back and then the other person rewrites the
draft. We've gotten to the point now where we just don't argue
anymore. We just take the suggestion of the other person. And then it
goes back and forth, and then before the book goes out, we sit around
for a couple of weeks and read it out loud to each other. So before
it leaves the house, we agree on every word."
--Michael Dorris, quoted in "Behind Every Great Woman ...? Louise Erdrich's True-Life Adventures" by Geoffrey Stokes, first published in Voice Literary Supplement 48.
The Multiplayer Computer Roleplaying Game (MCRPG) medium is a complex one because it is quite multifaceted. MCRPGs can center around plots and stories, just like the more traditional storytelling venues of movies and books. However, when creating these plots, there are many additional aspects that a gamemaster needs to carefully consider-- aspects that one would never have to think about in other mediums. Some of the most notable ones include:
And finally, there's one more aspect that I want to cover this week:
There are three major topics that need to be discussed when thinking virtually about the problem of multiple users. First, you need to figure out how to entertain multiple players. Second, you need to figure out how to coordinate multiple gamemasters. Third, you need to carefully lay out the ground rules for a weird middle ground, where you can let players contribute to the plots of a game.
I plan to cover each of these topics in turn this week.
I should also note that this week I'm going to be talking more specifically about what's involved in the running of MCRPG plots. Much of what I discussed in the first seven parts of this series was abstract--creating plots at a theoretical level. The reality is that MCRPG plots have two portions: the theoretical outline you create beforehand and the reality of what happens when you actually roll up your sleeves and start running it in-game. In the latter part of plotting you'll often be playing NPCs and engaging in rapid behind-the-scene manipulations to keep your plot rolling. Some of the discussion this week will go to that more direct, in-game style of gamemastering, rather than the theoretical planning discussed to date.
Entertaining Multiple Players
The fact that an online gamemaster needs to entertain multiple players probably won't be a surprise to anyone. After all, that's what the "M" stands for in MCRPG. It may be a bit of a surprise, however, that online gamemasters tend to have to entertain many more people. Where a tabletop game might have a gamemaster to player ratio of 1:5, and a LARP gamemaster might have a 1:10 ratio, a MCRPG gamemaster is much more likely to have a ratio of 1:20, 1:100 or more. You can solve this problem a little bit, by empowering players to tell plots as will be described in the last section of this week's article, but even then you're still going to have a lot of players that you need to entertain.
I already covered the topic of entertaining multiple players in brief in Movies: A Structure for Plot, Part Three. There I called it "The Problem of Multiplayer Applicability" and suggested the general rule that online plots should involve multiple people.. I'm only going to briefly reiterate my advice from that column, so if you want to know more you should go back and read the original. But, briefly, I suggested you should:
This all remains good advice, so I'm just going to try and generalize things this time around.
As a gamemaster in a MCRPG you need to maximize the number of players directly affected by your plots. I've already discussed how this relates to writing plots that involve lots of people. When you center plots around events, you need to make sure those are big and important events in your gaming environment. If you take the time out to play an NPC to advance a plot, you need to make sure you'll get big bang for your buck and be able to interact with a lot of people.
You won't be a very effective gamemaster in a MCRPG is you spend your time running events for very small groups or whispering sweet nothings in the ear of a single PC, advancing their own romantic plot, but nothing else in the game.
This might seem a little alien; you might wonder, how are you going to entertain players on a personal level? The easy answer is: you don't. As a gamemaster of a MCRPG you need to figure out how to get players to multiply your plotting work.
As I noted above, you can let players be antagonists in a plot. That's multiplying your plot efficiency. All you need to do is set the plot gears in motion, then see what unfolds. Create a situation, but then let players question each other, and seek info from each other, and fight each other, and argue with each other.
Simple arithmetic makes this an excellent way to plot. You just need to figure out how to push over the first domino; then if you've correctly let players multiple your effort, they'll do all the hard work knocking the rest down.
Finally, it's very important in MCRPGs to disallow single players from road-blocking plots. It's tempting in creating RPG plots to make that first domino a singular object that players discover. Someone comes across a piece of paper that talks about a plot or a unique artifact falls into someone's hands.
Unfortunately, that can fail badly in a MCRPG. There's often enough flux in these games that even supposedly reliable players can disappear. Or, you might give a singular object to someone who has no motive to follow up--and without an on-site gamemaster, like you'd have in a tabletop game, the administrators might never understand why the plot isn't moving.
In MCRPGs you have to ensure that your plots have multiple points of failure. Make sure that singular players can never foul up an entire plot by their lack of interest or by being away. Instead, you'll often want to introduce multiple paths into the same plot or alternatively have multiple identical objects that can get players started (or continue them along their path).
Coordinating Multiple Gamemasters
Given the task of entertaining multiple players with your plots, you'd think that having multiple gamemasters would be a clear win. After all, if you thought a 1:20 or 1:100 player to gamemaster ratio were bad, imagine what it would be like if there were just one of you. 1:1000? Worse?
And, having multiple gamemasters is a clear win. Each one of them will be able to write his own plots, and thus entertain yet more players. However, this does raise issues of coordination. Each of those gamemasters isn't going to be creating plots in a vacuum. They'll need to write plots that work well with others and also they'll need to take into account what plots other people have written. Enter collaboration.
The quote that I began this week's article with is from one of many interviews with Louise Erdrich and Michael Dorris, collected in a book called Conversations with Louise Erdrich & Michael Dorris ( 1 ). Louise Erdrich is known for her award-winning and best-selling Love Medicine ( 2 ) and numerous other novels. Michael Dorris is known for books such as A Yellow Raft in Blue Water.
As the opening quote noted, Erdrich and Dorris collaborated on many of their books. And, they did so in a manner that is awe-inspiring for its totality and unity. According to many interviews, they practically worked as one when putting together their works of fiction.
Gamemasters in MCRPGs probably won't be able to expend quite as much effort on perfect collaboration. But, they will want to try their best to work together with their peers.
First, they should try and be aware of other gamemaster's plots. This is really the easiest way of making sure that things go smoothly; it can be easily supported by mailing lists, regular chats, cooperative web environments like TWiki, and other out-of-bandwidth communications.
Second, they should clearly establish hierarchies and realms of responsibility. At the most basic level, if you have multiple plotters you need to say that one of them is the "boss"--the guy who gets the final plotting say. However it's also beneficial to give different gamemasters different realms of responsibility. One gamemaster might be responsible for all plots involving magicians, and another for all plots involving new players. This doesn't mean that gamemasters can't tell stories in each others' areas, just that they should work with the person responsible for that realm and make sure that their plots support the controlling gamemaster's plots and don't work against them.
Third, gamemasters should cooperate with each other fully. This means that if another gamemaster is trying to create a plot that has some impact on yours--perhaps something that causes you to change one of your plot points, perhaps something that forces you to offer a little bit of additional support--then you should try your best to make the other plotter's plot work. You're not obligated to mess up your own stories, but you should make sure that you don't offer another gamemaster a knee-jerk "No!" answer just because he wants to do something that impacts you.
All of that advice has to do with preparing stories in advance. However, as I'll briefly discuss in two weeks, plots rarely survive the first engagement with the enemy--which is to say the players. Thus, as a gamemaster telling live stories in a MCRPG, you'll probably need to improv. And that can get particularly sticky when you have multiple gamemasters.
One final advice to MCRPG gamemasters that speaks to this issue: support each other fully when improving in-scene. If you and another gamemaster are working together in-scene on your plot, it's entirely possible that he'll go off on a wild tangent that has the possibility of totally destroying your ideas. You have to go along with him in order to preserve in-game reality.
In the worst case, one of your plots will be ruined and you'll have to start over. However, what's much more likely is that the story will go off in a slightly weird direction and you'll have the opportunity to repair that later, when you're not in the heat of the moment. Or, you might decide that the new direction is really cool.
Allowing Player Plots
Even with a full staff of gamemasters plotting a MCRPG, keeping all of your players entertained can be a very daunting task--particularly if your game is "plottist", meaning it centers around plots, rather than "gamist", meaning it centers around game mechanics. Keeping a step and a half ahead of your players will always be a pretty immense task.
Fortunately, you have a secret ally: those same players. The best thing you can do to keep your game filled with intriguing, exciting, and constantly new plots is to empower your players. Let them create their own stories. Even allow them to make changes to your overall game if doing so will entertain a large number of people.
In empowering your players you need to do a couple of things. First, you should do the development work required to make their plots work. In other words, don't only allow player plots that take little work on your part. Be willing to consider plots that require you to create objects and run NPCs and even do plotting work of your own.
By doing so, you're following one of my earlier suggestions: you're multiplying your effort--this time through the player's plotting work. Sure, you need to be picky when you do this. You're going to want to most fully support plots that entertain a lot of people and otherwise follow the rules of good MCRPG plots. But, use those as criteria for pushing player plots, not just whether they're work for you or not.
It's also a very good idea to treat player and gamemaster plots equally. In the real world this turns out to be pretty hard to do, as there's always some feeling that your own plots are going to be more true to the world of your game than those created by players. But still, try and make sure that the good player plots get more support than the bad gamemaster plots, just as the good gamemaster plots should get more support than the bad player plots.
Finally, as between gamemasters, you should make sure that players understand that all plotting is based on a firm model of cooperation. If players expect gamemasters to help with their personal plots, they should also expect to change their plots to match and support gamemaster plots that are being created.
With that said, and player plots placed firmly in a place of honor, I'd like to offer a few caveats.
First: if you empower players to create plots you also need to take steps to protect your game world's reality. Be ready to crush bad player plots, just like you'd crush bad plots created by other gamemasters.
Second: figure out some way to highlight the most important plots, whether they're created by players or gamemasters. Once you've empowered players, you've really opened up the floodgates. Where once a half-dozen or a dozen gamemaster plots were running at any one time, suddenly you might have a hundred player and gamemaster plots. Consider bulletin boards or some other method to keep the most important stuff clearly in the public eye, so that it doesn't get lost amidst all of the other interesting, but less important, chaff. Finishing Up This Week's Column
And that does it for this week. In brief summary my suggestions this week are to think about the multi-user element by:
I'll be back next week to revisit episodic plot structure one last time (for now) by talking about continuity and change. I'll see you in 7. Endnotes
I'd once again like to take a moment to clearly credit this article. Although it is a new piece for RPGnet it's based on a whole slew of articles I originally wrote for Skotos Tech. More specifically, I offered suggestions on entertaining multiple players in Trials, Triumphs & Trivialities #13, This Blessed Plot, Part Two; I wrote about coordinating multiple gamemasters in TT&T #7, Hosting on Your Toes; and I talked a little bit about player plots in TT&T #4, This Blessed Plot, Part One. Those original articles may include some expansions and examples that didn't make their way into this piece. I'd also like to thank my wife, Kimberly Appelcline, who offered some thoughts on player plots and cooperation while I was still planning this week's piece.
Shannon regularly writes the column Trials, Triumphs & Trivialities for Skotos Tech, an online gaming company. � �TQo�0~^�DҒt< ���� �ek��&Ǿ$�\۵������ZF��ȃuw��ݝ������I��ŃU ���Q�Y����ir2�H��R�2.u3MF�o�ع�q]4#A`pP5�(b��������&)���b�)ⰾ���p���7(��i���<��[-2g�L#�5[f� �g��?�*rV��G��f��8��*)��s'+20�ϟ��̑F����}�KB�<7����w��S�L�\����gb�����v���m9��W��iR���ބYŜv�d�y0'p2�I_�Fc��2>#o���A� )VL[Qk�?�3�`)<�У[�(*W.��J�H �?�t�X���C�t谙��� X�:@� \0w�~LqĤ��E�����-���r�F�k���Y���j�4q� �5��A�Q6�[�A�xG� [�>��w|?( f��ХθY䝛��$�c=�_����qN�ĦoǸ>O��_�|��&���/_M�i�7�"�宥��C�Чk0d��ӷ�L�h����;T�mu�C����G��U�-!�Ul{ �h�<\�bQX.�~���"��O�2*yP���cz���!�Gg�

Vote Famous: Fresno's version of The Hills?
Vote Famous is a local reality show featuring Timmy T and a lady named Kat. They go around to different places in town, sometimes giving them awards, other times just shamelessly advertising. Along the way hilarity is supposed to ensue as we see scripted arguments, odd drama and random flirting.
The Fresnan dug out the first video in April. Today, Travis Sheridan found another video. And, lucky me, I just found two more. Let's all stare in awe at our version of "The Hills."
In this episode, Timmy T's wife is going getting a tattoo and he goes on a rampage.
This episode picks up where the previous ones leaves off, with Timmy T going to present Bobby Salazar with the award for best burrito.
And here's the episode Travis Sheridan already posted, in which Timmy T and Kat go to The Standard. Warning: Big whiny fights ahead.
I'll say it: Timmy T = Spencer Pratt

Steering Through an Unpredictable World: Strategies for the Chief Human Resource Officer
A consumer & industrial products perspective
The impact of the economic downturn has been acute among Consumer & Industrial Products companies. Steering through this unpredictable world requires the Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) to have clear and definitive strategies that not only anticipate tomorrow's forecast, but also respond to today's storm.
It is critical for the CHRO to find the right balance between reducing workforce and operational costs and maintaining effective long term strategies that can adapt to changing economic needs. To achieve this, the CHRO should consider specific actions in four key areas:
- Reducing HR and people related costs
- Aligning workforce with business needs
- Retaining and motivating key talent
- Building a winning culture
Using the ongoing economic crisis as a rallying point, the CHRO has the opportunity to position Human Resources as a strategic business driven function which can assist the organization in driving productivity and revenue, and help in positioning the organization for an eventual economic upturn.

WEST MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - An Amber Alert and murder case in Tyler, Texas all comes to an end in West Monroe.
It was at the end of Wellerman Road, in West Monroe where an Amber Alert ended, and a murder investigation has just begun.
West Monroe Police Cpl. Jade Gabb says, "traveling down the interstate, just going through the city we have no indication that the Mr. Calvert was staying or had any business, inside the city limits of West Monroe."
42 year old James Calvert, wanted for the murder of his ex-wife, who police found dead on the carport of her home late Wednesday.
Shortly after police believe she was murdered, they say Calvert ran with the couple's four year old son, Lucas.
A routine traffic stop in West Monroe is why police became suspicious.
Gabb says, "Mr. Calvert made an abrupt movement, crossed the center line, almost passed the exit he was trying to take, and took the downing pines exit, this reckless operation prompted the officers to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle at which point Mr. Calvert did not stop or yield to the responding officers."
The police chase lasted for around five minutes, and ended here on Wellerman Road, when calvert reached the dead end.
Gabb says, "once the suspect was on the dead end street, he had no other avenues of escape officers were able to surround the vehicle. Mr. Calvert did not heed officers warnings or verbal commands, he was taken out of the vehicle and into custody by force."
That's when police found Lucas, unharmed and okay in the back seat.
Police are working to get everyone back to Texas, meanwhile a community is working to get their lives back together.
Calvert is being held at the OCC on $2,000,000 bond.
West Monroe Police say they're only holding Calvert, until he's extradited to Tyler Texas, on a capital murder charge.

If loving the highlights is wrong, I don't want to be right.
3. KG's Clever Horse Shot
If you have the right audio equipment (you don't), you can actually isolate Kevin Garnett's voice from the surrounding crowd noise. Just before he releases the jumper, he calls out "rim, bank, swirl, swish." This was a big one as it put the damper on the Cleveland comeback and showed once again that KG's a deadly threat in the post… every now and then.
2. Almost A Fast Break
This is a great example of something Boston does well, but doesn't get much credit for: the secondary break. Ray Allen's initial drive is walled off as he attacks but the Celtics quickly swing the ball while the Cavs are still getting organized. Garnett then finds Paul Pierce on a great backdoor cut. Pierce gets a step on Andy Varejao, who's busy directing Cleveland's halfcourt defense when he should be help defending. That's two pretty points, because of the initial hard push.
1. Actually A Fast Break
Four players. Once bounce pass. Two dribbles. Layup.
0. Avery Being Bradley
You know the drill.

Get involved: send your pictures, video, news & views by texting HARINGEY to 80360, or upload here
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in a deal for Ecuadorian hot-shot Enner Valencia
12:40pm Sunday 22nd June 2014 in Sport
Ecuador striker Enner Valencia has caught the eye of Tottenham Hotspur, who are keen on securing a deal for the forward after the World Cup, according to the Sunday Express.
The 25-year-old has been in impressive form at the finals, scoring three times in two group matches for the South Americans, as well as netting against England in a warm-up fixture before the tournament.
Valencia, who plays his club football for Mexican side Pachuca, scored 18 times in 22 league appearances last term as the Tuzos won the Clausura championship.
The 5ft8 & 1/2in forward has a better than one in two record for Ecuador, having scored seven times in just 12 outings for La Tri.
Born in San Lorenzo, Valencia began his professional career with Ecuadorian club Emelec, before moving to Mexico off the back of 27 league goals in 86 starts.

A high-speed chase today in Duncan ended in two separate crashes that left more than 800 customers without power.
Three cars crashed near 66th Street and Bois D'Arc Ave. Two of them, according to police, were driven by a father and son, who are said to have gotten into an argument before the chase made its way down Highway 7.
At this hour power is fully restored to the homes and businesses in the area.
Police were on the scene shortly before 5 p.m. when the chase ended after the front-runner, the 17-year-old, drove across a patch slamming into a railroad sign, police say.
"He then ended up hitting a telephone pole, soon after that, which caused another telephone pole to fall down, said Master Office Jarrod Bishop, of the Duncan Police Department. "Power lines were flying everywhere and there was a small grass fire."
The son took off, but quickly turned himself in at the Stephens County Courthouse. The father, 45-year-old Brett Peavler of Duncan, was following behind in his Ford Explorer. Peavler was driving at such high speeds that he slammed into the passenger side of a black Tahoe while turning off 6th Street onto Bois D'Arc Ave. trying to catch up with his son.
Two females were inside the vehicle and the passenger was taken to Duncan Regional but is said to have minor injuries, according to Bishop.
Both the father and son were charged.
"The father was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, the 17-year-old he was cited for reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident," said Bishop.
Peavler also admitted to police tonight to have taken prescription narcotics before getting behind the wheel. He also has prior DUI charges on his record. He will spend the night in a Stephens County jail cell and be arraigned in front of a judge tomorrow morning.

3rd Batch of Watch Tools February 2003
The Swiss Made Crown Button Gripping Tool, a Button, a Stem and the China Made Stem Gripping Tool
The Tools gripping the parts
Inserting the stem into the button
The crown sits now firmly on the stem. These tools make sure, you get a nice grip on the parts involved. Additionally you could apply a bit of Loctite to secure the crown button on the stem. If crown and stem are new, this is not really necessary in my opinon, this set here fitted nicely and firmly so I did not add any Loctite glue. Loctite 222 is a special glue that allows to connect threads safely. I will always add Loctite 222 to used crowns and stems, since it guarantees for a secure thread lock. There are few more annoying situations for a WIS then when a crown button disappearing in a gulley when you are traveling ;-) Or disappearing in a soup bowl at a WIS meeting where you wanted to flash your Vintage handwind :)

The Women's field descends off the top of McKenzie Pass during the Cascade Classic.
After stage 1 Kristin McGrath of Peanut Butter & Co 2012 wears the yellow jersey at Cascade Classic. Andrea Dvorak (Colavita/Forno d'Asolo) is second 17 seconds back followed by Erinne Willock (TIBCO/To The Top). McGrath and Dvorak were the best of four riders to survive a nearly day long break away that formed on the lower slopes leading to McKenzie Pass. 11 riders went clear including PB&Co 2012 riders McGrath, Alisha Welsh and Alison Starnes, Dvorak, third place finisher Kathryn Donovan (SC Velo), Kristin LaSasso (Primal/Map My Ride), Anne Samplonius and Jade Wilcoxson (Now-Novartis for MS), Carmen Small and Joelle Numainville (TIBCO/To The Top). A late move brought Kristin Armstrong (PB&Co 2012) and Clara Hughes (BC Cycle) up to finish in the top ten. Dvorak put in multiple attacks in an attempt to ride clear of the PB&Co powered group. A solo move at 5km held until she was caught by McGrath at the finish.
The race continues today with a 35km ITT in Bend Oregon.

JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) - Two men legally married each other Wednesday afternoon after becoming the first same-sex couple to obtain a marriage license from the Clark County Clerk's Office in Indiana. Earlier in the day, a federal judge struck down Indiana's ban on gay marriage in a ruling that immediately allowed same-sex couples to wed.
Brad Smith and William Villegas were married by Tracy Patton, pastor of New Beginnings, a nondenominational church in Jeffersonville, after receiving their marriage license shortly before the County Clerk's office closed at 4:30 p.m.
A second same-sex couple obtained a marriage license Wednesday from the Clark County Clerk and got married.
The Floyd County Clerk's Office did not process any marriage licenses on Wednesday because it had not received guidance from Attorney General Greg Zoeller on how to proceed before closing at 4 p.m.
The status of gay marriages in other southern Indiana counties is not yet known.

Kenyan torture victim still bear the scars
Mr Nyingi, 84, said he was arrested on Christmas Eve 1952 and detained for about nine years.
During that time, he was beaten unconscious in an incident in 1959 at Hola camp in which 11 men were clubbed to death.
He says he still bears marks from leg manacles, whipping and caning.
When I was released I would have nightmares about three times a week. I would dream about the murder of people at Hola. These nightmares continued for about four years.
When people talk about the Mau Mau or the colonial era I think about the terrible events I lived through. When these thoughts are triggered I get so sad and stressed about what happened that I develop a headache and I cannot work.
I feel I was robbed of my youth and that I did not get to do the things I should have done as a young man.

NFC North Spin cycle: Are Packers back now?
The Packers' convincing win over the previously undefeated Texans was the NFC North's highlight attraction in Week Six action.
Ravens, Lions in trouble despite big wins
The Ravens and Lions earned big wins but left some big questions unanswered; two key Cowboys slip up; and are the Patriots still clutch?
Lions come from behind to stun Eagles
Jason Hanson kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime and the Lions overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Eagles 26-23 on Sunday.
Hanson knows opposition itching to face Lions' special teams
Lions PK Jason Hanson knows teams will be eager to face Detroit's special teams after some recent breakdowns.
Suh will not be ticketed for traffic incident
Lions DT Ndamukong Suh will not receive a ticket for allegedly sideswiping another vehicle early Thursday morning.

Two return TDs help lift Vikings past Lions
Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown, helping the Vikings beat the Lions 20-13 Sunday.
Lions' special-teams coverage again an issue to watch
The Lions' special-teams coverage was victimized by some bad luck in a loss at Tennessee, but it was also outexecuted.
Suh has been added to the NFC Pro Bowl team, replacing San Francisco's Justin Smith.||||||| The 49ers advanced to the Super Bowl on Sunday with a win over Atlanta. Suh was initially selected as an alternate. He becomes the third Detroit player picked for the Pro Bowl, the team's most since also having three selected to the 2005 game. Suh, wide receiver Calvin Johnson and long snapper Don Muhlbach are on this year's team. Johnson was selected as a starter but is not expected to play.
Suh was fined $30,000 by the NFL on Wednesday, but says he didn't kick Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on purpose. That's why Suh insisted he doesn't need to apologize to Schaub.||||||| Suh spoke to reporters Wednesday for the first time since his left cleat connected with Schaub's groin area in Detroit's loss to Houston last Thursday. Suh has dodged another suspension from the league for his latest questionable move on the field.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says it's very difficult for the league to judge whether Suh intended to kick Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin area. Suh was on his chest after being taken down by an offensive lineman last Thursday and extended his left foot to hit Schaub below the belt.||||||| Goodell met with reporters before speaking at a Lions charity event Tuesday night, a day after the league decided it wouldn't suspend Suh. Goodell says he hasn't spoken to Suh about the play but that the league's football operations staff is in the process of speaking to the player about it. Goodell says the league will decide whether Suh will be fined within the next few days.
Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was issued a traffic citation by a police officer who said he saw Suh driving fast and passing cars from the right lane of a suburban Detroit roadway. The Lathrup Village officer gave Suh a ticket on Nov. 15 for driving without due care and caution.||||||| Police Chief William Armstrong tells The Associated Press on Tuesday he's not sure the citation will hold up. Armstrong says he watched video footage of Suh's driving that day and thinks "the charge doesn't fit." Suh has been sued for $1 million by a woman who claims she was injured when Suh was in a car crash last December in Portland, Ore., and he was accused of sideswiping another driver in suburban Dearborn earlier this year.
The NFL has decided not to suspend Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh for his actions against Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub. League spokesman Greg Aiello announced the decision Monday on his Twitter account, adding the "incident" will be reviewed for a potential fine.||||||| Suh's left cleat connected with Schaub's groin area after he threw a pass in the first quarter of last Thursday's game. The defensive tackle was on his chest after being taken down by an offensive lineman and extended his left foot to hit Schaub below the belt. Suh was suspended for two games a year ago after he was ejected for stomping on the right arm of Green Bay offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith during a game on Thanksgiving.

|Outlook held captive after black-masked bandits drop in
It was just another ordinary day of work at The Falmouth Outlook on Tuesday, September 18. The early morning hours were unusually quiet with the exception of the regular sounds of shuffling papers, the pecking of keyboards in use, and the occasional ringing of the telephone. Little did the staff know that this was just the proverbial "calm before the storm."
With everyone going about their daily duties, it was quite a startle when a loud thud erupted from the front of the office and bookkeeper Sarah Trimble shockingly exclaimed the word "Raccoons!". This brought the other members of the staff on duty running to the uncommon scene just in time to see a pair of confused, furry, black-masked bandits standing in a cloud of dust, insulation, shredded newspapers and debris that had fallen from above.

YJ Draiman for Mayor 2017
Draiman News Agency
The fact is we have a new elected Mayor of Los Angeles "Eric Garcetti".
My sincere congratulations to Eric Garcetti on winning the Los Angeles mayoral elections. It was a long hard work to get here. You deserve the chance to reinvigorate Los Angeles to its glory days and an economic recovery that will benefit all Angelenos.
Now the work begins, to build team Garcetti and implement a new successful administration with honesty and integrity.
YJ Draiman, LA's primary Mayoral Candidate for LA 2013.
The fact is we have a new elected Mayor of Los Angeles "Eric Garcetti".
In view of LA's current financial and economic condition, our new leader needs our support and I mean everybody's support. Only as a unified city can we hope to overcome the City's current difficulties.
I urge everyone to give our new Elected Mayor "Eric Garcetti" all the support possible. We need to think of our city as a whole not in parts. The success of our city will benefit everyone.
Thank you
YJ Draiman, LA's primary Mayoral Candidate for LA 2013
Are Hoodwinked Angelenos electing failed leaders in 2013?
Who is qualified to be the next mayor of Los Angeles 2013? – I submit: None of the current three elected officials!
Any of the current three elected officials at LA City Hall who are running, who have been in LA City Hall for the past 12 years, do not qualify to be the Mayor of LA. Their past poor performance, their contribution to the current state of affairs is reprehensible. The current three elected officials, who are running, do not deserve to be reelected again for any position in LA City Hall and especially to the position of Mayor in the city of Los Angeles. It would be a travesty if any one of them win the election.
I hope and trust that the people of LA are not as gullible as the current three mayoral candidates who are current elected officials presume. They are counting on fooling the people again. How many times do us Angelenos need to be beaten over the head to declare enough is enough; the corruptions and special favors are over, we are exercising are voting power and we are taking our city back.
It is time for the voters of LA to elect a person who cares about the people of this great city of Los Angeles (a city with a population of about 4 million people and 465 square miles). The current three elected officials at city hall have abused their position; they have failed the people of Los Angeles, being in city hall for the past 12 years is enough of failed governance.
The current three elected officials at LA city hall should get a verbal lynching for their performance. The City of Los Angeles is in its worst condition in this century. The cause of this despicable condition is the product of the current administration.
It is time to break down the political machine in LA; No more business as usual; the buck stops on Election Day, March 5, 2013 and May 21, 2013 for those who need the additional boost.
It is time to elect officials who truly care about the people and the city of LA, officials who exercise their elected position for the good of the people of LA, "not what is in it for me".
The masses of people in Los Angeles outnumber the special interests groups' voters at least 8-2. If we all register and vote, we can take back our government. If the voters remain apathetic and refrain from voting, the consequences will be the total collapse of LA City and its government, financially and economically.
Let us elect a new breed of leaders who represent all the people of Los Angeles, not just the select few. We have an opportunity to replace about 70% of LA City Hall.
Let us unify and vote the current administration out of office.
I repeat; Power to the people!
YJ Draiman
Current elected officials running for office in Los Angeles 2003 elections are selling a dysfunctional government.
Voters have been confounded, hoodwinked, bamboozled, bluffed, duped, manipulated, seduced, beguiled, flimflammed and sandbagged by a master of deception into believing that there is "no alternative in the opposition".

Solid construction, sleek design, best BlackBerry yet.
by eaabrooks on February 8, 2011
Pros: I love this phone. It's strong, loud, has a great antenna and wi-fi capabilities, awesome battery life, gorgeous hi-res screen, effortless keyboard, small and compact, much-improved camera which takes great shots, and has incredible call quality.
Cons: My only problem with this phone is that the speaker is on the back side, so that if it's face up on the couch or on a soft surface, the ringtones and alerts become quite muffled. A phone like this practically requires a gel case and privacy screen.
Summary: Bottom line, I'm incredibly happy with this phone. Switching from my Tour 9630, everything feels like an upgrade. The trackpad rocks, the keyboard is so smooth, internal memory and ...
Summary: Bottom line, I'm incredibly happy with this phone. Switching from my Tour 9630, everything feels like an upgrade. The trackpad rocks, the keyboard is so smooth, internal memory and processing is incredibly fast (including reboot time, SO much faster!!) and the external speaker has incredible sound for watching YouTube videos or just listening to some music in bed, and the headphone audio quality is better than my iPod. At the end of the day, this phone gets any and all jobs done. It serves as an incredibly useful business tool which I use for real estate, it's a multi-media powerhouse that can compete with nearly any other smartphone on the market, the GPS and new BlackBerry Maps rocks (turn-by-turn, mph, direction, etc), and its really great for instant messaging with fellow Berry users and non-users alike.
I love this phone!! And what's really fantastic is that BlackBerry doesn't undergo serious design or spec hauls, so this phone will be relevant and at the forefront for atleast the next year, whereas I'd be afraid to buy a new iPhone 4 because there's likely to be an iPhone 5 that'll render it obsolete in the not-too-distant future.
Gotta love the Berry. I highly recommend this phone.

Part of being a big fan of a particular team allows for some insight that "fantasy experts" and your self-proclaimed football guru buddies often miss. I always hated watching Antonio Gates butcher the Chiefs for first downs and td's. I was impressed how the Chiefs handled him this last time (even without Berry) by blanketing him in double coverage off the line...unfortunately Rob Gronkowski is just as good (and statisically better this year) as Gates and then the Pats through Hernandez in the mix...how does Romeo stop two awesome TE's with Tom Brady throwing to them? We can't double team them...who's going to cover them? Injured Brandons (if they play)? Injured McGraw (now our best safety..yikes!) Javier Arenas ( close to a foot shorter than Gronkowski) or Sabby Piscatelli who should just wear a Patriots jersey tonight.
I'm worried guys. The Chief's defense was good on Monday vs the Chargers but that was also the Chargers...I do think that Palko will get some decent throws in..it's hard for teams to prepare for new qb's that don't have a lot of film on them and the Pat's air defense is weak. Maybe Ol' Bill will let his run game attack KC just to mix it up on a defense that made Lance Ball look like Peterson.
That being said it is Monday night and if there was ever a trap game this season..this is it.

This set was too small for a Queen bed. 90 inches long is not long enough to completely cover the top mattress. Set was cheaply made. I did love the color. Sent it back and looking further. Customers, be ware that 90 inches for a comforter is too short for most Queen mattresses and a lot of the Queen sets that are offered are 90 inches.
The Madison Park 7 piece comforter set was spot on as Chef Ramsey would say. Penney's had the same comforter for $130. I was very please with the set. The color and design just pop. Great item and great price.
Very light materials, summer weight comforter at best. Not as large as I would like with a very tall mattress. Just not what I expected from the pictures. I purchased a queen but it look like the comforter would be more appropriate for a full size mattress.
Pretty and lightweight. It's a good summer comforter if you don't mind the feel of polyester. I unfortunately melted part of the filling when washing and drying before dressing the bed for the first time, even though the dryer was on the lowest temp. Be diligent and perhaps take it out when damp to avoid this happening to you.
It's light, the color is matches the pic, but it wrinkles very easy....
This set was exactly as described. I'm very pleased with the quality of the set and each of the pieces. The room looks very tropical with the new bedding!
Love the comforter set and price was wonderful. A quality set and delivery was very fast.
The colors of this item appear a brighter green on line than in real person. it is a nice set, but the sides are a little short on the king size. Overall I am extremely happy with this product.
not as nice as I would have liked but just OK, not very heavy, kind of shinney
This set was exactly what I wanted. The color matched perfectly. Good value for the price.

Exclusive: RESPECT Editorial Director Speaks On Eminem's Cover, "He Was Just Super Duper Open"
Friday, Jun 4, 2010 3:50PM
After Eminem's RESPECT magazine cover began floating online yesterday, SOHH caught up with the publication's editorial director Kris Ex to learn more about working with the Shady Records boss.
According to Kris, they decided to avoid Recovery album questions and have Em analyze past photos of himself instead.
"He was just like, super duper open," Kris told SOHH. "He was just really open and the time had gotten pushed around a bit -- we didn't really know if it was gonna happen or not but when it happened, like when he and I got on the phone, we just started and it was like, 'Oh wow.' ... Well the thing is, since we're a photo journal and this is the really important part of what we did, the way it runs out is we did a huge spread on him but it doesn't actually pan out as an actual interview. What we did was, we were just going over these pictures from ten years of his career. He was just talking about different photos from his shows and we got this story from the photographer which she was just like, at the show and was eight months pregnant and she's trying to take a photo and she's like, being pushed up against a speaker and Eminem says this thing about beating a pregnant woman with a baseball bat and she's like, 'Oh my God! I can't believe this!' So we're just getting those types of stories from his side and the photographers' side." (SOHH)
Kris also gave SOHH the inside scoop about how large of a role Em's manager Paul Rosenberg had on their photo shoot.
"We had all of these great ideas," Kris added referring to various photo shoot possibilities. "Or what we felt were good ideas as far as what he should be doing on the cover and Paul Rosenberg just shot everything down. It was like, 'No, no, no, no, no,' [laughs] we were just like, some of them were really great and he was like, 'Been there, done that, we don't want to do that anymore.' ... We had all of these great ideas and Paul Rosenberg just shot every last one down and then he goes, 'You know what, Eminem really likes cars. Let's just do something with cars. Eminem really likes cars, he's really into muscle cars, Detroit, the whole kinda symbolism of General Motors,' and we're like, 'Ok!,' because at that point we were just like let's make him comfortable and what I've seen from this album that they're doing with promoting it is, they're really trying to push away from the whole Slim Shady, off the wall antics thing. They want to bring it to a more realistic person." (SOHH)
Em's RESPECT cover began to circulate online Thursday (June 3) afternoon.
To further promote his forthcoming Recovery album, Eminem graces this month's issue of Respect magazine. Slim Shady conducts an exclusive interview and gives insights on what people should expect of Recovery, which drops on June 22nd. The issue hits newsstands on June 9th. (Bloginity)
50 Cent previously graced the last cover.
Y'all peeped the dope premiere with Hov and Pac, now the mag that celebrates the visual beauty behind the artform is back at it. Cover number two goes to the one and only Curtis Jackson. Hey, I like that guy and I like this cover. Ha! On sale: March 9. I like that date too! (Rap Radar)
Eminem's RESPECT cover will land in stores Wednesday, June 9th.

Update: Fire Destroys Home in Lansing
A house at N. Walnut and Madison Ave, north of downtown Lansing, is being called a complete loss after catching fire Tuesday morning.
The fire was called in just before 9 a.m. and was contained just before 10:30 a.m. Firefighters initially went inside the structure to try to put out the fire, but quickly had to move into a defensive mode because numerous items in the home made it too difficult to navigate through safely.
The Lansing Fire Department is still determining the cause of the fire, but the department tells us the house will be torn down to help put out any remaining hot spots.
Residents were removed safely from a fire at a two-story home in Lansing, located near N. Walnut and W. Madison Avenue.
Crews are fighting the fire from the outside and will be on the scene for most of the day.
The fire broke out around 9:00AM and several fire trucks responded.
LANSING - A house at Walnut and Madison streets, north of downtown Lansing, is fully engulfed in fire.
The fire was called in just before 9 o'clock this morning. Firefighters initially went inside the structure to try to put out the fire, but quickly had to move into a defensive mode to contain the blaze.
There is no indication at this time that anyone was inside.
Firefighters continue to put down the blaze.

A quick run down, our offense is very mistake prone, our red zone offense is terrible and our defense is nothing like it was last year. We have six sacks so far this year, and we're ranking in the 20s in most statistical categories.
That being said, I expect the Bengals to come out firing against a heated divisional rival and on MNF. We desperately need the win, if for anything, to boost morale as none of us expect the Bengals to rebound at this point for a playoff run. Anyway, ask your questions and myself and some of my Bengals brethren (who WILL be on their best behavior as long as they're not instigated) will swing by to answer your questions. Here's hoping to a good, fun football game Monday Night with our respective teams beating the other.
