I'll put this simply: Falling Star by Cristian Roux is the best new comic in town. The Melbourne artist's second issue is scheduled for release this week, creating a perfect moment to introduce you to his world. It's a world of stark contrast, of fallen gods and shifting power. It's a world in upheaval. It's a world quite like ours.
Issue one details the aftermath of a presumed gang war between meta-humans known as 'Alters'. On the ground, the newly empowered government Agency for Alterhuman Research & Response (A.A.R.R) tries to marshal the affected citizens, while in the skies wildly unstable and possibly unnatural weather conditions shake the city. The story and characters are linked by an ongoing series of news reports, giving a broader context as the individual tales are told.
Issue two offers more action, some social repercussions to the unfolding events, and a new character or two. This chapter has the title 'For Want Of A Hero', and it's plain to see why. There are no easy answers here, noble deeds are few and all go unrewarded.
It might seem as though this description of the story is deliberately vague. Well, in a sense, that's true. But these appear to be the opening refrains of a complex and far-reaching chronicle. The questions 'What's going on?' and 'Who are these people?' must have occurred to readers at the start of every great serial, from A Tale Of Two Cities to Watchmen. The very fact that we ask them shows the level of engagement with the narrative in such a short time.
In just two issues of Falling Star Roux has created a rich world. The physical setting is clearly based on his home town, Melbourne. It's a little more futuristic, and somewhat crumbling at the edges, but it's solid and real. Readers familiar with Melbourne will feel that thrill of recognition, spotting stand-ins for Bourke Street Mall, Victoria Street, and the State Library. The city is also peopled in a realistic way. The cast of both major and minor characters are ethnically and socio-economically diverse. Issue two especially portrays this mix in a masterful way; the climax of three plots occurring simultaneously, with the experiences of three very different groups colouring the larger narrative.
The idea of meta-humans is not so new, but so far Falling Star doesn't show any indication of being a superhero comic. It inhabits the realm of dystopian science-fiction; readers can see more of Bradbury and Orwell here than of capes and cowls. But it's possible that the comics also tap into something X-Men has been exploring for decades- mutants/meta-humans as a lens through which stories of minorities are viewed. In Falling Star, are the Alters an aspect of the immigrant experience? It would be apt in this country and at this time. The Alters are outsiders in a land already settled by outsiders. They are 'other' in a city already rich in cultural diversity. It will be interesting to see if this theme is expanded, or what aspects of humanity future issues address.
Falling Star is a black and white comic, and it's clear that Roux is an emerging master at work, using every tool at his disposal. It's such a pleasure to see his art, and the level of detail is breathtaking. Final artwork appears to be created digitally, but it holds on to its analogue sensibilities with pride. Each page is bespeckled with magnificent renderings and highly considered imperfections. The use of digital screentones is sublime and complex, bordering on the baroque. This is an artist who appreciates everything black and white can offer.
The level of complexity in the artwork is also reflected in the text. This might be the only critique of the work, in that some pages require multiple readings to understand the multiple narrative threads at play. As mentioned previously, the ongoing news reports provide insight into the world outside the characters' lives. Are the reports background noise to the events, or are they meant to be absorbed concurrently? Either way, this complexity is part of the reader's experience.
Comics have a strange alchemy. The creator must have a multitude of skills ready at a moment's notice. Writer. Artist. Graphic designer. Architect. Fashion designer. Prop master. Poet. Editor. Printer. If any one of these elements is neglected, the story falters. But when they come together, the result is pure gold. It might only take you twenty minutes to read an issue of Falling Star, but months of work and a lifetime of dedication to the craft have put it in your hands.
I can't wait to see what happens next.
Falling Star issue two (along with a reprinted issue one) is on sale from the 19th of July, and will be available at selected comics retailers around Australia. For more information, visit Cristian Roux and follow his Sauce on Facebook and tumblr.

This children's blanket is very unique because it is made from disana's boiled wool, which is a very special natural fabric. Boiled wool is soft and light, so blenkets made from boiled wool are exceptionally comfortable against the skin. Boiled wool also protects against cold, is almost entirely windproof, and balances hot and cold temperatures, making this the perfect blanket for spreading across the grass for a picnic any time of year. When wool is boiled, thousands of tiny air bubbles are trapped in by the material, forming an entirely natural barrier against hot and cold temperatures. The result is a fabric that keeps you snug and dry while allowing your skin to breathe.
Measuring at 55.12 x 39.37 inches, this blanket is the perfect size for using as a blanket for a crib or child's bed or as an everyday blanket for indoor use or picnics out in the park. A good quality wool blanket is an essential item in any family's home.
Merino sheep down in southern South America provide one of the finest wools in the world. Disana's merino wool comes from a place where the landscape is rugged, the days dry and the nights cool. Sheep from this breed are known for their particularly fine, especially crinkly wool. This wool, and items made from it, are invitingly soft to the touch and incredibly light, with a fine gloss.
Merino wool is also especially suited to materials finished using the fulling process. The careful felting of the knitted fabric turns the particularly fine fibres and highly crinkled hairs of the wool into a very special material: disana boiled wool.
Weighing only about 520 grams per square metre, Disana boiled wool is exceptionally light. At the same time, it is wonderfully fluffy and thick, with a delightfully even, matte gloss appearance on its surface.
These fantastic qualities make disana boiled wool just right for disana's "At Home" collection of blankets.
Made by disana, this blanket is made from 100% organic boiled virgin Merino wool. This wool is finely crimped, does not itch and feels soft and cozy against baby's sensitive skin.
Made in Germany
Other Details:
Care: Boiled wool articles are easy to care for. It should be cleaned very gently by hand. The lanolin contained in wool protects the fabric from dirt and harsh environments. If your boiled wool article does get dirty, you can shake or brush the dirt out very carefully. If the boiled wool becomes stinky, just leave the article out overnight to air out, or in the bathroom while you shower (the humidity from the shower will help foul smells to disappear and will smooth out wrinkles). If you do need to wash boiled wool, just wash by hand in tepid water using a mild wool wash. Do not wring, squeeze, or rub wool. Lay flat to dry. You can read more here about wool care. Don't forget your wool care products!
Size: 140 x 100 cm (55.12 x 39.37 inches)
Posted by Alicia on 17th Feb 2014
I am head over heels for this blanket. It's truly worth every penny. Many would spend almost as much for a designer poly blanket / :
Disana's boiled wool is the best I've encountered. Truly itch free and so so warm and yummy to wrap up in! My son has this in his crib every night. We have also taken it on long car rides. He NEVER over-heats. It truly keeps you at the right temp (I can vouch for this as we have had many nap/cuddle sessions with it ( : ).
Now we just need to save up for the big size!
Posted by Ania on 30th Jan 2013
If they made one in adult size, I would buy it in a heart beat. (Though this one is big enough to be your throw blanket on the couch) Very soft, feels great against the body, nice border stitching...just quality all around. Big enough to last your child for years to come making it a very worth while investment.
Posted by Ana on 6th Oct 2012
Very soft and warm. And not itchy at all. I love this blanket.
Posted by Elena on 28th Sep 2012
very soft blanket, very light but warm. just what I wanted for the colder fall and winter nights. good size too. Love it!

The international community was slow to respond to the African ebola outbreak. One reason was a lack of early warning. It comes down to something population health scientists call "surveillance", a word that alarms the lay public, since it conjures images of Big Brother observing our intimate activities. Surveillance systems can be simple or complex. They always cost money. But if they help to identify an outbreak, and thus help to prevent an epidemic, then they save much more money. But poor governments are unlikely to invest in prevention systems when there are immediate health crises that need resources right now: HIV/AIDS, Malaria, maternal and reproductive health issues, etc.
#BringBackOurGirls was a massively popular way of protesting in part because it was so simple. Most major celebrities, politicians and even conservative political pundits participated. It was all an impressive display that sadly overlooked the real solutions to dilemmas like the Nigerian kidnappings.
Mosquito bites mean something different in many parts of the world. Working for an international aid and development agency, I've learned about the dangers of malaria, an infectious disease transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito. On World Malaria Day, I think about the millions of children who have no bug spray -- not ever.
Consider what is happening in Syria even as we read these words. Aid agencies have become so desperate for help that they repeatedly call upon the affluent West to step up and assist the 9.3 million people living at risk, and the 3.5 million Syrians living under siege. Surely these people matter to us, right?
The United Nations ranks the Central African Republic a level three emergency, among the top three humanitarian emergencies globally. The non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are concerned about the lack of awareness of this crisis. What can the government do to raise awareness of the crisis in the international community and at home in Canada?
The recent troubles in the south that sprung up only a month ago, and the instability that has resulted, has pressed that African region to the precipice. But just this week, the Harper government, through its Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), has recommended, "that Canada consider downgrading its development program (in Sudan), or exiting entirely."
The recent native protests in New Brunswick against proposed hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") are not only devoid of facts but harm the potential for prosperity and lower personal taxes. Add in the anti-fracking frothing in neighbouring Nova Scotia, and also in Quebec, and it adds up to ill-advised provincial policies, this despite the safety of fracking.
Areas of Earth that have remained relatively free of industrial development have taken on a special significance. In Canada, they include awe-inspiring landscapes like the Sacred Headwaters in northwestern B.C. But the Sacred Headwaters is not protected under law. It remains at risk from a multitude of proposed mines, railways, transmission lines and other projects that will eviscerate the landscape if approved.
When I first heard about the dismantling of the Canadian International Development Agency in the government's recent budget, I was rather dismayed. Nonetheless, upon delving into the issue further, it became clear that my initial reaction was quite misguided. International aid from Canada is not coming to an end; the budget has merely initiated the merging of CIDA with the Department of Foreign Affairs. The aim is not to slash aid, but rather to have a more synergized approach to its deliverance in developing countries. The merger of CIDA with DFAIT ensures the money our government spends internationally will be more focused, effective and better reflect and preserve the national interests of Canada.
In yesterday's budget the government announced that Canada's International Development Agency (CIDA) will be merged within the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). CIDA's mandate of poverty reduction is distinct from the mandate of DFAIT, which is to promote Canada's interests abroad. The merger of these departments must be done without watering down CIDA's mandate.
In the course of my work at Plan I see so many young people with great potential of their own who have so few opportunities to explore or express it. Still, they bravely persist in striving to make their mark on the world, even in contexts of deprivation and conflict. Programs like Girls Making Media and International Youth Day, youth are changing the world.
Gil Blutrich, an Israeli born entrepreneur moved to Canada after many successful business ventures. However the one project of which he is so very proud is his purchase of the grand old lady of the Great lakes; the last remaining ship of its kind, the SS Keewatin. Thanks to a Canadian Israeli with a true sense of history, a relic of our past will now remind Canadians of a proud maritime era.
New malls, expensive hotels and fancy casinos are springing up everywhere in Uganda. Ex-pats and middle-class Ugandans drive flashy four-wheel jeeps and you can get any food craving satiated. Indian, Italian, Mongolian, Thai: they have it all here. And yet, it is a large urban centre where goats and chickens still roam the streets and witch doctors ply their trade.
In a report called "Left Behind by the G20?", Oxfam looks how every country treats its poorest. Inequality in Canada rose as fast as India's and nearly as fast as South Africa's. Only four have managed to reduce income inequality since 1990 and they are all emerging powers: Brazil, Korea, Mexico, and Argentina.

SNielsen wrote:You would probably only want to do this if the lug is badly corroded. If there is no corrosion, squeezing the connector is easier.
The source of the problem is more than likely the vacuum breaker that spit water onto the main thermal breaker as the system heated.
The metal in the connector is probably fatigued from repeated heating and cooling cycles and retains insufficient tension to maintain a solid connection. The composition maybe degraded from electrolysis.
SNielsen wrote:I agree about the metal fatigue from heating/cooling. There is no other mechanism in such a machine to cause connectors loosening. Are you saying that tightening the spade with pliers isn't enough to ensure a good connection? As for electrolysis, just by looking at the spade lugs they seemed fine. How can I tell if they've degraded?

"Not sure if I am an evil genius, or just someone who watches too much TV"
I am a Texas college student (studying Management of Information Systems), and I am a Tech enthusiast, computer geek and sci-fi fan.
I queue most posts but will do a post dump about once every few weeks.
and since this seems to be the main question you guys ask I am 5'6" tall, so ask me other things (funner things) also before you ask I am taken.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I mean first off she refuses to kill the doctor. then she marries him (and will probably end up with his babies). and then she goes on and actually does the thing that she was raised to prevent. really the silence is going to kill kavorian for what a failure she was.
not only did River NOT kill the doctor like she was supposed to (and married him instead). she answered the question which was why she was supposed to kill the doctor in the first place
Ok so first off with the Name of the Doctor we learned that the silence aren't exactly bad guys or enemies of the doctor. they are just the worlds shitiest allies, I mean if the doctor knew the harm that allowing the GI to access his time line he would probably killed himself (if there was no other option), but instead of telling him that if he went to trenzalor and spoke his name his timeline would be erased and all the good he has done will be undone they decided to take it on themselves to kill him (and had an overly complicated method too). I mean not only did he have to fight them all the way (to get the to lay off so he could fix it himself) and commit genocide, they also really upset him by taking his friends. I mean the only good thing that came out is that he got an equal.
also the war between the silence and the doctor may not be with The Doctor but with "the Doctor" who didn't live up to his name (and hopefully it will be explained) or with the changes that the GI caused.
But WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE BODIES?
All those time you think you tripped over thin air…

mailing list archives
I think a temporary solution for the denial of service case is pretty
obvious. If someone is trying to brute force an entry into your
nameserver, the nameserver will first see a few hundred replies with
incorrect ID numbers. So, all it will have to do is invalidate its last
request when it notices an attack, and log who requested the name lookup
(usually the attacker). Of course, this makes it possible to do denial of
service attacks if you can see where a nameserver is sending a request
to, but usually if they can see your network traffic youre screwed
anyway. This should be effective until a much better solution that
employs cryptography (ie. Secure DNS) is officially released..
In the meantime, I'll see if I can make a small patch to do this, unless
one of the real bind programmers beats me to it...

Although its not good to have even a small window of opportunity, what
percentage of the ID space could someone cross by fully saturating a T1
with forged DNS replies before the requesting server times out the
request? It would be good to know what type of resources an attacker
would need to make this type of attack

For many unfortunate people, when it rains, it pours.
Purdue first-year football coach Darrell Hazell hasn't started building an ark just yet, but he's probably got a shopping list for Menards.
His Boilermakers find themselves at 1-4. They've been outscored 183-85, are allowing 183 yards rushing and 414 total yards per game, have 11 turnovers, have missed three field goals and opponents are converting nearly 50 percent of third-down situations.
"I'm glad we have a bye week. There's a lot of things we need to re-evaluate and assess," Hazell said during Tuesday's Big Ten coaches teleconference.
The most pressing issue is at quarterback, where freshman Danny Etling saw his first action last Saturday against Northern Illinois, replacing the ineffective Rob Henry.
"We're going to talk to the quarterbacks later (today) and let those guys know where they stand," said Hazell, who'll likely go with Etling, adding there would be no open competition.
The job was Henry's to lose and he wasted no time, going 5 for 16 for 130 yards and two interceptions deep in NIU territory. Etling, who has a stronger arm, was 19 of 39 for 241 yards, two TDs and a pair of picks.
"You saw there was a little bit of energy with Danny out there," Hazell said.
The Boilermakers had five pre-snap penalties on offense in the NIU blowout and quarterback Jordan Lynch, a Heisman candidate and Mount Carmel grad, had his way with a defense that needed a lariat to contain him in the pocket.
Hazell must feel like he's coaching high school ball.
The clouds grew darker and the rain came down harder Monday with the arrest of two Purdue receivers -- B.J. Knauf and Jordan Woods -- on charges of theft.
Knauf is a starter, Woods a red-shirt freshman, and newspaper accounts said the pair was arrested at a local Kohl's after allegedly stealing two tie bars, valued at $20 each.
Tie bars? You have a Division I scholarship to play football. You're treated as big shots on campus and in the community, and you throw it all away by stealing two stinking tie bars?
Darrell Hazell certainly didn't need that headache.
"It's very disappointing," he said. "We always talk to our guys about doing the right things, and they made a bad decision, both of them.
"We're still gathering information, and we'll take the necessary disciplinary actions when we find out all the information."
Meanwhile, it's back to work for a program that is 43-51 over the last 7 1/2 seasons and 22-34 in conference play during that stretch.
Hazell had said he wanted to build a new football culture at Purdue, but he has had to swerve around countless roadblocks his first season.
"We've got to do a better job of getting to our gaps on defense," he added. "We're one gap off. We need to get to that gap in order to stop the run.
"Obviously, when the game is in the balance, you can't turn the ball over. We turned it over three times the first half while driving down the field.
"They're all self-inflicted and we got to eliminate that. The turnovers are very frustrating. You pull your hair out when those things pop up."
Hazell is not a quitter, but with Nebraska and Ohio State on the horizon, he may want to build that ark as storm clouds roll in and the waters rise.
Purdue fans have almost forgotten what the sun looks like.

This is a test of just over 20 questions comparing information retrieval features of Siri, Microsoft Cortana, Google Now, and Plexi. ( http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/sto… )
Cortana just was released to developers as part of the Windows Phone 8.1 update and we wanted to see how she stacked up to the competition. Each question was asked the same way to each assistant. We re-tried if voice recognition was an issue so that they would be tested on their ability to answer questions rather than the pronunciation of the user.
Yes, my product one. But Siri did nearly as well. Plexi will do more of the "call", "text", and "calendar" stuff soon, but Windows Phone API's tend to be a bit protective of privacy and so we didn't optimize for those tasks. Think of this as a review of how Natural Language Processing can help with your homework.
It is worth noting Plexi doesn't use Wolfram Alpha, and only uses Wikipedia for abstracts on certain topics.
Plexi believes it is a failure if we have to drop the user to a search result when they didn't ask for search.

Who is the leader of Turkey?
Cortana does a web search. Google and Siri give the wrong answer. The President in Turkey is a figurehead. As Plexi says the prime minister is the leader.
What is the GDP of Turkey
Everyone gets this right.
What languages are spoken in Turkey?
Siri, Google, and Cortana only provide one language. In Turkey, Kurdish is spoken by about 1 in 4 people.

Happy 165th birthday, Bram Stoker!
Lovely Google Doodle today!
Library and literary miscellany from your pals at Library Journal.
Reblogged from
Happy 165th birthday, Bram Stoker!
Lovely Google Doodle today!
Google (as well as the rest of us) celebrates Moby-Dick; or, the Whale's 161st birthday today. I should probably quote from the bit by the book's sub-sub librarian (and almost surely will later), but today my mind keeps going back to the Pequod's cabin boy, Pip, who is left behind, afloat in the vast ocean, during a frenzied chase after a whale. Though he is picked up afterwards, the experience has forever altered him.
Pip's ringed horizon began to expand around him miserably.…The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul. Not drowned entirely, though. Rather carried down alive to wondrous depths, where strange shapes of the unwarped primal world glided to and fro before his passive eyes; and the miser-merman, Wisdom, revealed his hoarded heaps; and among the joyous, heartless, ever-juvenile eternities, Pip saw the multitudinous, God-omnipresent, coral insects, that out of the firmament of waters heaved the colossal orbs. He saw God's foot upon the treadle of the loom, and spoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad. So man's insanity is heaven's sense; and wandering from all mortal reason, man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, indifferent as his God.

Like Maud, I fell for text adventure games in the 1980s. They were exciting precisely because you couldn't detect the boundaries and limitations of the world they constructed, and because it felt like you could navigate that world at will. If you turned left, you might discover a castle, while turning right would lead to a dark and menacing forest. Your choice!
But the earliest adventure games, like many of their graphical descendants, turned out to be a lot more constrained than they at first appeared. You could do "anything," but somehow you always wound up looking for a crowbar or a box of matches so that you could execute some banal task that would ultimately give you access to another bit of imaginary space in which you'd have to perform yet another inane job. These games are fun in the way any puzzle can be fun, but they aren't really stories. The best of the bunch, the game Myst and its sequels, could be gorgeous and absorbing, but not ever truly moving the way a novel or dramatic work can be. It was once fashionable to claim that games like Myst pointed to the future of storytelling, but the rudimentary stories offered by the vast majority of the genre are less compelling than the average folktale, let alone a play or film.
For that reason, Yesterday by Pendulo Studios is an intriguing departure. Yes, there's a lot of rummaging around for pen knives and oil cans in order to fix machinery or unearth hidden keys, but the game is more story than puzzles, and the story itself is a gruesomely baroque concoction of satanic cults, renegade academics, mad preachers, gnomic martial arts masters, serial killers, reincarnation and a sinister billionaire.
The central narrative of Yesterday is like the plot of an adequate B-movie in the supernatural thriller genre. This may sound like faint praise, but this is the only game I've ever played in which the plot achieves that much substance. There's a prologue involving a volunteer for a homeless center who falls into the clutches of religious fanatics living in a deserted subway station, then the action resolves around John Yesterday, a private detective with total amnesia striving to recover memories of his past after an apparent suicide attempt. Amnesia is a fairly common affliction for video game protagonists; the player doesn't know who the character is, and memory loss puts the character himself in the same boat. But Yesterday is unusual in keeping the purpose of the game firmly focused on reconstructing the narrative of John's life.
The characters, including John himself, are the robotic animated figures typical of many computer games, and the quality of the animation here is not especially high. (Particularly unsettling is the rendering of people's mouths as they speak — they all seem to suffer from a surfeit of teeth.) This is, of course, a big problem in all such games, even those whose animation is much more realistic; however accomplished, these drawings will never be as emotionally engaging as a real actor's face, although the player's investment in scoring and achieving other goals will usually compensates for that.
A good test of the strength of any game's narrative is to ask whether it would be at all interesting if the gameplay and goals were subtracted — if all the fighting/killing were removed, or all of the puzzles. What makes Yesterday exceptional lies in the answer to that question. To my surprise, I found myself genuinely curious about the mystery of John's identity and how he lost it while engaged in some highly dubious research. This is largely due to the game's ambiguous villain, Henry White, who looks like an over-dentated Ron Howard in the "Happy Days" era and whose true motives remain enigmatic up to the end.
Storytelling and gameplay, however, are almost always at odds with each other, if for no other reason that that a game hinges on the player's volition while stories require the audience to surrender to the storyteller's vision. With Yesterday, the tasks demanded to move the narrative forward feel like trivial, mildly annoying obstacles that don't have much relevance to the player's real concern: getting to the bottom of John Yesterday's dilemma and figuring out what Henry is up to. This sensation isn't helped by some fairly awkward game mechanics.
Yesterday offers a choice of endings, although there really isn't that much difference among them. (Some are more gruesome than others, but the game overall is not for the squeamish.) That feels right; one of the great satisfactions offered by a good story is the feeling that its conclusion is both unpredictable and, when revealed, inevitable.

Chopsticks ($6.99) falls somewhere between a book and an app. It's a scrapbook "novel" telling the story of a difficult romance between two high school students, published by Razorbill, a Young Readers imprint at Penguin, in both app and print forms. The challenge of assembling this fusion of photography, video, animation, and audio clips was recently recounted in the Wall Street Journal as part of a longer story on the enhanced ebook genre. Chopsticks was held up as an important test case on the viability of the form.
I have my doubts about the inclusion of too much visual material in a text narrative (outside of picture books for young children, that is), but Chopsticks has very little text to begin with. The characters write each other notes and IMs, and there are faux documents from schools and the sanitarium where the character Glory, a piano prodigy, is sequestered for a while. You aren't told the story, as is the case with prose novels and graphic novels; instead, you have to deduce it from the images and scraps of writing supplied by the authors, Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral. While some of these are fairly straightforward — programs for Glory's performances and newspaper clippings describing her breakdown at Carnegie Hall — others are winningly subtle: a stack of board games momentarily puzzled me until I realized it was meant to indicate how Glory killed time in the sanitarium.
This element of detective work made Chopsticks much more engaging than I'd expected. I think fiction works in part by eliciting an imaginative investment from its reader. Instead of the access to the characters' inner selves that prose usually offers, Chopsticks shows us what they look like, what they draw (Frank, Glory's boyfriend, is an artist), what they pack for a trip, what they scribble in the margins of the books they're reading. From these clues, the reader is invited to imagine not just what's happened, but how the two principles feel and think about it.
The only frustration I felt with Chopsticks resulted from the abundance of embedded YouTube clips showing what the characters watched on TV or compiled into the music mix tapes they swap. The Wall Street Journal article explains that this was a strategy to work around the rights nightmares associated with using music and video from copyrighted sources, which is clever, but ultimately not that successful. You can't listen to the music while looking at the images in Chopsticks and I, personally, didn't feel much like pausing to watch music videos by the Decembrists or Death Cab for Cutie. But then, I wouldn't, and the inclusion of the characters' favorite songs might be more meaningful to the intended audience.
Will I return to Chopsticks, the way I occasionally return to Touch Press' landmark enhanced version of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land? Probably not, but that has more to do with the subject matter than the form. I'd love to see an adult story told this way, with images, videos, and interactive garnishes luring me into a puzzle that offered more mystery and ideas. If the videos advanced the story instead of bringing it to a halt, they might seem less of an interruption. As the WSJ explains, putting something like this together is expensive and complicated, more like making a film than writing, editing and publishing a book. But I hope someone tries it.

Strange Rain is an app released about a year ago, and for a while it was popular — surprisingly so when you consider its ambiguous nature. Is it a music app, an ambient sound effects generator, a game or an enhanced ebook? Apparently, people use it in all of these ways.
Strange Rain fills the screen with the image of a clouded sky. Raindrops fall "down" onto the surface of the glass as if it were a skylight. Moving the tablet around will cause the perspective from this "window" to shift a bit. Pinching can adjust the heaviness of the rain. In Wordless mode, the drops patter pleasantly, and touching the screen produces unstructured, chime-like music. In Whispers mode, single words appear when certain raindrops are touched, words that are all related to rain or water.
In Story mode, touching the screen produces the first person thoughts of a man taking a break from a situation whose nature is only gradually revealed. If you drag your finger around the screen a different, deeper set of thoughts and ideas appear, in white text instead of black, but emanating from the same man. After you've played around with Strange Rain for a while, the silhouette of an airplane will move across the sky. If you tap on the screen frantically, the sky "falls" in a way that suggests a sudden cataclysm. (A Twitter feature has been added, but that seems entirely extraneous to me.)
What's best about this app is its radically simple beauty and the ambling exploration it promises. There is mystery here, especially in the appearance of the plane. Strange Rain gives the impression that you can't quite get to the bottom of it, or at least that something momentous awaits just out of reach.
The main shortcoming of Strange Rain is its story (written by creator Erik Loyer ), which, although reasonably well written, reveals itself to be an ordinary domestic drama, the sort of material that might serve as the premise for the stereotypical "New Yorker story." Even the New Yorker has moved past this formula. Supposedly, the user's interaction with the screen can change the story, but after multiple plays I haven't found that to be the case, or at least not so as you'd notice the difference.
Still, I like it, and I'm not alone. Many of the app's purchasers choose to ignore its Story mode and use the rain sounds as a relaxation tool, setting a timer to turn off the iPad after they fall asleep. Strange Rain is meditative, and how could it be otherwise, really, given that there's very little a slice of sky can provide as a stage for a story? There's not much for a protagonist to do, either, while staring upwards. Since it can't really go anywhere itself, I wish the app's non-story were more suggestive and enigmatic, giving the reader something to ponder.
Experimenting with the time-honored rules of narrative is a tricky business, a bit like deciding to improvise while baking; there are good reasons why you make cake batter with room-temperature butter, as the flat, rubbery discs produced by alternate methods demonstrate. That's not to say that new forms of storytelling can't be achieved in the app format, but I suspect that whoever finally pulls it off will be someone who's mastered the basics first. Writing seems as if it would be the easiest, cheapest thing to get right in apps like this, but (for that reason perhaps), it's often the weakest element. I believe that the first really great narrative app will probably be a collaborative effort, like the best graphic novels, but involving a creative programmer as well as a gifted writer and a visual artist.

Welcome to Birds Watcher, the Baltimore Orioles news and opinions site brought to you by the FanSided Network. Birds Watcher is dedicated to providing top-notch Orioles news, views and original content. This site also serves as a community for like-minded fans to come together to catch up on the latest news and to discuss their passion.
I've been in and around sports since I was a child as a player, coach, and a fan. I consistently led the league in technical fouls when I was a basketball coach, and one famous incident I was tossed out of a game for protecting a player from poor officiating. The Orioles beat the Oakland A's 4-2 the first time my father took me to Memorial Stadium as a kid, and I was hooked for life. While the "old lady" was far from a thing of beauty, to that point I had never seen grass so green, tasted hot dogs so good, or smelled beer so cold! Since that day many years ago, each time I'm at a ballgame I pay a bit of homage to that eight year old boy sitting in Memorial Stadium with his father. See you at the yard!
I am a junior at Holy Cross College in Notre Dame, IN. I am majoring in communications with a minor in sports management. Because I am a sports fanatic who does not have too much athletic ability, I became my school's first ever mascot. I am a Baltimore native and a lifelong Orioles fan!! Nothing compares to going to Camden Yards, seeing an Orioles win on a sunny Sunday afternoon, then going to Gino's on Joppa Road after for a Gino's Giant burger. I have Maryland Pride and Orioles Magic pulses through my veins. Let's Go O's!
I graduated last spring with my MFA in creative writing from the University of Baltimore. Originally from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, I now live in the heart of Baltimore, just a mile or so from Camden Yards. I am a born and raised Orioles fan and was actually born the day the O's won the World Series (10/16/1983)
I decided to become an Orioles fan after Buck Showalter led the club to a strong 2010 finish, which means that, yes, I suffered through 2011, and no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon during/after the 2012 run. I'm generally interested in bringing an objective and logical (i.e. sabermetrically-inclined) eye to baseball analysis, which means I find myself frequently disagreeing with Baltimore's front office. Nevertheless, I'm a fan of the Orioles until the day I die; if they continue to play so many stressful games, that day might come sooner than expected.
Scott Cahoon is a lifelong O's fan living in Washington, D.C. When not desperately scouring area sports bars for fellow Orioles fans, you can find him at the Yard or on his living room couch yelling at the television. Cahoon is a 2011 graduate of West Virginia University and holds a bachelor's degree in journalism.
I am a sportsaholic of longstanding. When I watch an Orioles game, one of the first things I do is to find out when the MASN rerun is on, and either tape it or watch the key points again. I can and will multitask, as illustrated when I watch a game while reading and commenting on Twitter and one or more blogs. Journalism major from the University of Maryland and writer/copy editor by trade. Blogger and substitute teacher.

With Rave reviews for myGolfstats still on the lips of thousands of happy users, the engineers at Sports Data Systems, Inc. went straight to work on their next golfers' app. The result is Leaderboard Live 1.0, an innovative new app that brings real time scoring to golfers everywhere. Anyone with a connection can logon and see the leaderboard updated, in real time, from anywhere on the golf course.
Players, friends, family and fellow club members can easily follow updates on a leaderboard that looks exactly like the pro boards on television. Results are viewable on any iOS device and, thanks to this new technology, can even be watched on the clubhouse TV.
Leaderboard Live Features Include:
* Simple, fast, and easy to use
* Real Time scoring right on your iOS device
* Database includes 15,000 courses to choose from
* My Group feature lets you quickly create a match with your regular group

* Record your stats and upload them to the website and your personal page
Once they set up and name their match, users are ready to play a round and watch their names climb the leaderboard. Features like Match Cards and My Group make the matches easy to set up quickly.
The My Group feature is tailor made for golfers that have a regular group. Once a user adds a group to the app, a new match is always ready to go for that group, without setting up anything else.
Match Cards let users set up a friendly competition with other players, in addition to the match they're currently engaged in. That means users can set up a match within a match, going head to head with one or more of competitors.
The app allows for individual scoring, and includes popular games, such as Scramble and Best Ball. For serious golfers, Leaderboard Live also lets users record stats, such as Driving Accuracy, Greens in Regulation, Scrambles, Sandies, Putts and Score. These stats can be uploaded to the website and the user's personal page, allowing them to track their progress over time and strengthen their game.
This app is expected explode onto both the professional and amateur golf circuits, and may even outpace downloads of myGolfstats, which held a long standing place in the top 10% of all golf apps.
Leaderboard Live 1.0 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Sports category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

It may be getting time for the White House to polish up on that well-worn political line that public opinion polls don't matter.
President Barack Obama got hit with a one-two polling punch today.
It's never too early to talk about the presidential election that's coming in 2012, they were talking about it during the last one even before the ballots were cast.
Rasmussen Reports in a national survey asked 1,000 likely voters who they would pick for president if the election was held now: Democrat Obama or Republican Mitt Romney.
The answer: EVEN at 45 percent each.
But wait, it gets a bit more complicated.
In choosing between Obama and Republican Sarah Palin the poll came in at 42 percent for Palin compared with 48 percent for Obama.
It seems that her resignation as governer and the anonymous badmouthing about her time on the campaign trail as a vice presidential candidate has rolled off like water off a duck.

Are Liberals Less Liberal As Media Consumers?
Here's something we need to investigate further. While researching a major post on Political Correctness, I have run across a study on the web site of the Pew Research for the People and the Press. This study, "sorts voters into homogeneous groups based on values, political beliefs, and party affiliation." It then looks at various aspects of their behavior and, using survey results. presents statistical evidence and analysis. It's a big study with a lot of interesting ideas threaded through it. I was enjoying reading through it and was thoroughly sidetracked for a day or so as I read it. One thing jumped out at me and I wanted to pass it on. Second Draft needs to take a hard look at this.
It is not specifically referred to in the written analysis of the article but there is a glaring (and I do mean red, purple and throbbing) anomaly in the data presented. On page 73 of the report, there is a table entitled "Typology Groups and Media Use". This chart looks at the kinds of media that each political type relies on for their information. It immediately jumped out at me that the largest single political type had the smallest average use of television as an information source. This was no small artifact. The Liberal typology was almost 40% (37.54, to be exact) larger than the next largest group (Conservative Democrats) and their television usage was nearly 20 % (17.55%) lower than the next lowest group (Upbeats).
I decided to drill down into the numbers. Now, this is a little suspect because the numbers are already averaged out and it is not clear how some of them were derived from the research (for example it is not clear whether the break down of the television numbers into categories like network, local, CNN, etc…, reflect some sort of break down of anwers that were asked independently or is the television average was derived from aggregated usage numbers for all categories). But if the numbers are good to begin with, then my manipulations should not be too far out on a statistical limb.
I totaled up the percentages for each of the media cited as main sources of information by each political type. This should give a rough measure of how broad a range of information sources the average subject in each group is accustomed to using.
Here are the numbers I came up with:
Social Conservatives 269
Pro-Government Conservatives 264
Conservative Democrats 262
Upbeats 256
Disadvantaged Democrats 256
Enterprisers 253
Bystanders 242
Disaffecteds 239
Liberals 230
It may have meaning or not (certainly there are methodological questions that would have to be addressed) but the numbers are tantalizing. According to these numbers, Liberals are at the very bottom of the scale for media variety. This implies that, as a group, they tend to draw on a thinner variety of information sources.
On the other hand, the largest conservative typology (Social Conservatives) has a media variety index that is almost 20% (16.955) higher than that of the liberals.
It is also interesting that Liberals rank highest for Internet usage. Anyone reading this post knows very well that, between search engines and link sharing with friends and colleagues, when you read and explore on the internet you are mainly pursuing sources that you agree with.
So, it makes me wonder if what many of us think might be provable; that conservatives tend to look at more possibilities before making up their minds and liberals tend to stick their index fingers into their ears and shout "La, La, La, La" when they come up against information that does not confirm their preconceived ideas.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU's Carrick Felix named Pac-12 Player of the Week
Arizona State senior forward Carrick Felix has been named the Pac-12's Men's Basketball Player of the Week.
Felix averaged 18.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in ASU's wins over Utah and Colorado. The wins marked only the fourth time the Sun Devils have started Pac-10/Pac-12 play with a 2-0 record.
It's the second Player of the Week honor this season for Felix, who also won the award December 3.
"Carrick Felix -- I don't know if I've coached a guy who's played with more heart. I mean the guy doesn't take one second off," ASU head coach Herb Sendek said of his team leader Sunday following the win over Colorado. "His effort, and his energy and his heart have been remarkable."
Felix and the Sun Devils take their 13-2 record on the road this week to play Oregon State Thursday and Sunday.

The Croisette is a giant billboard for movies and I discover new ones each day.

Like the Carlton with its Expendables 3 posters running across the entire length of the hotel, the Martinez is also decorated in a similar style, but with a lesser-known film. Five Thirteen, by French actor and director Kader Ayd, features each of its actors on giant posters: Malik Barnhardt, Tom Sizemore, Taryn Manning and Gary Dourdan.

Gary Dourdan has been cast in a recurring role on Bet's Being Mary Jane and a guest starring gig on Fox's Glee. On the Bet comedy, he'll play Sheldon Armstrong, a smoothly charming and casually handsome retired civil trial attorney who made a fortune suing corrupt corporations. He's coming out of retirement to pursue his charitable outreach. He's famous for never having given an interview in his life — but when Mary Jane (Gabrielle Union) sets out to interview him, he is quite taken with her and just might change his mind. On Glee, Dourdan plays D'Shon, Mercedes' (Amber Riley) record producer. Dourdan, whose credits include CSI and Mistresses, is repped by Prestige Talent Agency and managed by Ata. Sammi Hanratty has booked a recurring role on Wgn America's Salem. She'll play Dottie, a leader among her peers whom Mercy (Elise Eberle) knows a little from school. »

Paul Guilfoyle, one of only two actors who has been with CBS' "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" as a regular since its start, will depart the drama this season.
Guilfoyle has played series regular Captain Jim Brass in all 14 seasons of the crime series and will make his final appearance during the season finale on May 7. He reportedly found out last week that he would not be returning to the series.
"Paul made Captain Brass a standout character," said "CSI" exec producers Carol Mendelsohn and Don McGill. "He is not just an original cast member, he is an original. In a show about forensics, fans always looked forward to the handcuffs coming out, and Captain Brass putting his spin on the crime of the week, just as Paul Guilfoyle put his indelible stamp on the character and the show. He will be missed."

From the moment they joined forces at Old Trafford in 1946, the shared aim of Matt Busby and Jimmy Murphy was to get young players to understand "the Manchester United way".
Young men invited to join the club were imbued with this philosophy by Murphy and his trusted team of trainers: Bert Whalley, Tom Curry and Bill Inglis. Roger Byrne, Jackie Blanchflower, Duncan Edwards, Mark Jones, Dennis Viollet, David Pegg, Albert Scanlon and Bobby Charlton all came under the spell of the Welsh firebrand.
"He was a brilliant teacher," said Sir Bobby, "the greatest influence on my career.
"Even during the [World Cup] triumph of 1966, it was Jimmy's words, delivered on the training grounds of Manchester, which I could hear loudest."
It wasn't just words, either – Murphy had the psychological tools to match. Don't believe mind games are a modern-day invention; Murphy was at it 50 years ago.
"I was making my debut against Wolves when Jimmy came and told me to make the life of my direct opponent miserable," remembers Wilf McGuinness.
"Jimmy told me that Peter Broadbent, their inside forward, was looking to take the money I would earn as a win bonus… to all intents, stealing money from my mother. By the end of his passionate speech, I was ready to commit murder. Before the game, Peter came across and offered his best wishes for my career. I responded with a stream of filthy threats."
Hard, but fair – that was Murphy's law.
It was no surprise Murphy was the go-to-guy for Wales as they sought to replace coach Wally Barnes in 1957; it was a calling that, one year on, arguably saved his life. Murphy had wanted to fly to Belgrade for the European Cup quarter-final with Red Star; but Busby persuaded him to follow his World Cup commitments.
Having flown to Munich after the crash, the full horror enveloped Murphy. Bill Foulkes found him alone on the hospital staircase, weeping for the boys he'd done so much to develop. But despite that heartbreak, his indomitable spirit came
