Ja Rule had a bit of fun in New York City this week, attending the premiere of The Day After Tomorrow, chatting up the action-thriller's young star Jake Gyllenhaal, and later hitting trendy Spice Market for dinner. But we're told he was looking forward to returning to work in Toronto the next day, where he's filming Assault on Precinct 13 with Ethan Hawke, Laurence Fishburne, Drea de Matteo and John Leguizamo. "All of (the stars) are mostly in the same scenes, so they are a close-knit family," says a source. "They are always hanging out together. They eat together. They have a really good time together."

Apr 20, 2013What the hell is this? Give me my money back! This should be retitled "Mentaly handicapped Arm Simulator 2013". It's a struggle just to pick up a tool and do anything with it. I realize it's supposed to be a joke, but it's so frustrating just to do the most basic tasks. I don't find it funny, I find it super annoying. This will teach me a lesson against trying new things on steam.
Apr 20, 2013This is definitely a game to play with a friend. It is silly and stupid in a good way. I played the first level 3-4 times and had a lot of fun losing. The novelty started to wear off when I realized I could not try other levels until I beat the first level. When you start trying to play seriously, the game loses a lot of it's entertainment value. If the devs allowed level selection at any time, it would be a better game. If they had included some kind of hilarious briefing or optional tutorial it would have been a better game.
A few minor improvements and this is an 8. But for the Steam sale price of $6.99 it is a worthwhile purchase.… Expand
Apr 20, 2013Hilarious and fun! If you've played games like "Octodad" and enjoyed them, you'll love this.
Differences from the free original version are more surgeries (6 in total), a much more polished experience, and many secrets/easter eggs. I've played for a few hours already and the laughs haven't stopped. They've also tightened the controls enough where the surgeries are actually beatable.
For those who have no idea what this game is you control the arm of a "surgeon" similar to a puppeteer controlling a marionette. Fingers are mapped to buttons and arm/wrist controls are done via mouse. The physics on everything is overly exaggerated. Combining this with the hilariously awkward arm controls means every movement you make is a recipe for disaster and some great laughs. Example: I picked up a drill accidentally by the drill bit and not the handle...the drill handle started spinning out of control, flailing about and obliterating the poor patient's ribcage in the process. I proceeded to use a hammer to open the rest of the ribcage, which got stuck in the patient between a lung and a rib.
This is NOT a serious simulator game! I REPEAT: THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL SIMULATOR! What this is, is a hilarious time waster that has been polished up enough to be an actual game. Not everyone enjoys these types of products, but if you're like me you'll be laughing until you cry and your sides ache.… Expand
May 16, 2013Thanks to Surgeon Simulator 2013 I am now on track to becoming a fully licensed orthopedic surgeon in the great state of Massachusetts. Thanks Surgeon Simulator 2013!
Apr 20, 2013Anyone posting a negative review complaining about the controls is simply impatient and maybe a bit slow on the uptake. The controls, while sometimes frustrating are perfectly operational if you'll put in a few minutes to figure them out. Besides a bit of frustration with the controls this game is great fun, although not realistic. I enjoy going through the surgeries and seeing how little blood I can lose and how good a score I can get.
I'm certainly happy with my purchase and if you enjoy gory comedy and a bit of a challenge I advise you to pick it up on steam.… Expand
Jun 18, 2013As a pre-med student, I was excited to see what would be in this game. I knew it was kind of a joke, but the controls were so bad the game was unplayable for me. Could have been a fun game if they would have simplified the controls a little bit.
Apr 22, 2013Made in 48 hours you get exactly what you paid for (and why anyone would pay more then $0.01 for this is beyond me) it's not fun, it's not funny and it's not clever. It's annoying and frustrating. Even the web browser demo is clumsy, buggy and makes you slam your keyboard from unresponsive keys to framerate drops that move you when not moving. Not for anyone yet those who have $9.99 to waste I beg you to actually spend it on something else. Play the free web version but even that's not fun.… Expand
May 29, 2013What could have been a fun and funny Surgeon Simulator ends up becoming a horrible, sloppy mess of a game because the controls are awful.
People claim that's part of the "joke" of the game and I have to disagree, the game could still have been fun and rewarding without the retard-ly stupid controls it offers.
Pirate it and try it before you buy it, because if not, you might be very unpleasantly surprised.… Expand
Jul 13, 2013I agree with the guy who said they should've named this "The Broken Arm Simulator." Yeah, yeah, I get that you're not supposed to be able to perform flawless surgery, and that it's supposed to be funny to butcher the body in front of you, but the controls and physics are so sloppy that any humor dies very very quickly. The only game I can really compare it to, by virtue of being in the same genre, is Adult Swim's Amateur Surgeon a game which is 100 times better in every way.… Expand
Jul 10, 2013Probably one of the worst games I have ever played.
It's somewhat funny if you get the Team Fortress 2 references but that gets old quick once you make an attempt at the controls.
Would not recommend this to anyone.
Would be better off spending that 10$ on a movie.
May 7, 2013Great game. The hilarity that you'll have with this game is totally worth the full price. I recommend you to play this with your friends, because it's as fun to watch as it is to play! Only bad thing about this game is only a few operations. I hope the developers will work on this game and add some more operations (dentist?, plastic surgery?)
Apr 22, 2013*Minor spoilers* This is a truly amazing game. You must remember not to take it seriously, and well, if you actually do take it seriously, there must be something wrong with you and I'd advice you consult a real doctor. The original web-version was made in 48 hours and was a bit of a viral hit, the developers spent 50 days making a full version with fully textured tools and objects. The controls are hard at first, and for the new set of levels taking place in an ambulance, you have to be lucky and just hope that the new heart or organ falls out the back. The game has 6 different operations, if you finish them all, you will unlock a new operation, which takes place somewhere you probably never expected. If you get the controls down, the game is rather short, and it only took me about 3-4 hours to finish all 7 tasks. However, even for such a short game, there are 48 achievements, some which are really, really challenging, but very enjoyable to obtain. A few examples would be to finish an operation while drugged (by touching the syringe) or being electrocuted (by putting one of your tools in the electric outlet), and how about both these combined? Challenging, but fun. No game has made me laugh so much already on the main menu, which is like an interact-able sandbox. If you love to laugh and try something challenging, this game is great for the small price.… Expand
Apr 28, 2013What's to dislike about this game. It's beautifully made, runs very well, and it's is full of little bells and whistles to discover while playing.
Most people don't take this game seriously, and don't even end up getting past the first level. However, if you take it seriously, it's addicting and you'll want to keep playing. Of course, it's hilarious at times and difficult to control your master hand, but that just adds to the fun.… Expand
May 7, 2013Ok this game is a fun and a nice game to play in between your call of duty's and your Battlefield's. This game is "simple stupid fun" don't expect an engaging story or in depth characters, this isn't one of those kind of games. After 3 or 4 hours your gonna get bored. This game has 7 surgery's. Heart,Kidney,Brain surgery. They are also repeated in the more difficult ambulance mode. There is also a secret surgery which is heart surgery but in a cool concept area.… Expand
Jun 29, 2013Omg, this game is so bad and it was a free online web app for the longest time, now for some reason they think they can sell it and people will buy it......wait WOW...people are buying it. I have just lost some faith in gammer humanity lol
Jun 22, 2013It's actually painful to see people complaining about this game's controls too hard or complicated. This game was made with this in mind. The quirky controls, the stupidly weak engine, the unnecessary objects (like lemonade) all must be viewed as a satire, a parody. It is also not for anybody, for example, people with no friends might find it hard to enjoy this game. Surgeon Simulator 2013 is best played by two people, one of which screaming into the other's ear "DON'T PUT THE LEMONADE BOTTLE IN THERE! WE WILL PUT HIS LUNGS HERE!" while the other is laughing like a maniac. I have enjoyed myself more in this game than both Dragon Age games, Dishonored and Mirror's Edge combined, and I loved those games. My only complaint is that it is rather short, but for those 20 minute breaks with your friends, and considering the price, it is worth it.… Expand
May 29, 2013No tutorial, terrible menu screens, and controls so bad they are verging on broken, at times it seems like you are positively unable to use your fingers and thumb at the same time. honestly the games a bit of a mess, not a lot of content for your money, especially when you consider you HAVE to beat each level to even attempt the next. Avoid like genital warts.
Jul 16, 2013I was ready for goofy dark fun, but not completely crap controls. I gave this game almost two hours of my life trust trying to learn the control scheme and even after all that I still couldn't pick up one instrument and make and use of it other than gouging the green cloth draped on the patient. I was really excited for this and for it to turn out this way is just ridiculous.
Jun 30, 2013I would not recommend getting this game if you don't like novelty, as that is entirely what this one is built around, but don't dismiss it as a "bad" game because of its clunky controls. Complaining that the control is bad is like ordering food you do not like at a restaurant and then complaining about the taste.
The whole game's humor, charm, and difficulty stem from the awkward controls. If it were easy to control the arm it would barely have any challenge, plus you wouldn't see so many hilarious mistakes. Also, it really isn't nearly as hard as most people make it out to be. Like anything else, with a little practice and patience, you'll eventually get the hang of the control and easily pull of the surgeries with few errors.
Bottom line, this game is not meant to be taken serious. It's basically one of those titles to have in your library to force on friends when they come for a visit. It's a good conversation piece, and it makes for a great drinking game. Personally, I find it refreshing to see a game that tries something new instead of going with the done-to-death formulas that are present in so many other games. My only complaint is that I wish it had at least 6 different surgeries instead of 3, but considering it's only a 10 dollar title I guess its fair to have less content.… Expand
May 15, 2013The game i pretty useless, i can't remove the heart and controls are very bad cant operate like real, organs move like objects instead of really disecting, the human it is alredy dissected. i though it was going to be funny but instead just boredoom and a lose of money not funny not even nothing. it is just so lame sorry
Jul 13, 2013Really good game, funny and entertaining. It may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I really enjoyed it. The controls seem difficult, but after a bit you get (slightly) used to them. It's easy to work out where to cut things, and I passed the first level (Heart Transplant) within 45 minutes.
Great game.

Apr 24, 2013I played the free flash version about half a year ago and wasn't impressed but the way they have immensely upgrade the graphics, the gimmicks, the tools and the operational circumstances etc I have changed my mind. The controls take a lot of getting used to, and while it feels like QWOP Surgery in the beginning I actually managed to get used to the controls and do semi-accurate moves.The surgeries can get a lot of fun when changing locations. While a heart transplant in the hospital may seem simple it get's a whole lot more complicated when performing a double kidney transplant in a running ambulance, with fire extinguishers getting knocked around or even brain operations in space while trying to grab your floating tools. Overall I had a great deal of fun with the game but I can see when people don't get into it. Overall it's a nice fun gimmicky game with great humor. The content is yet limited for it's price so be aware.… Expand
Jul 17, 2013Absolutely terrible controls and physics. I get that it's not a real simulator and that messing up is the joke, but controlling the arm in the game is like trying to do anything with your own arm after you've been lying on it wrong for an hour and it's gone to sleep. A lot of times objects will get stuck or go rocketing off the table. I gave it a 1 just for the concept, but the game is definitely not worth paying any money for.… Expand
Jul 1, 2014Worst controls ever. Frustration maker of century. And I thought I played games with bad controls in the past - those were actually awesome!
Game has its fun moments, but most of the time its a frustration maker (unless you have patience of a mountain).
Jul 17, 2013The videos on Youtube are more fun than the game. I found the videos hilarious and couldn't resist buying the game, once playing, you realize just how bad the controls are, which I understand is intentional, but when it comes to getting stuck on level 2 for 90mins because the controls are so bad, you quickly lose interest and any "fun" value is long gone. I do not regret buying the game as I believe this company has potential and would like to see what their next endeavor is; I do like to support the intention behind the humour in gameplay, hopefully next time it can be a little more refined. I think it's unfortunate that they seem to pride themselves on how fast this was produced, it would have been better if more time was put into it.… Expand
Jul 11, 2013I will say without a doubt that I love how people can could up a crazy concept (Octodad, etc) and make it into a rather surprising great game. Yes, It's suppose to be making a joke of simulator games. A good joke infact. This game is crazy and funny at the same time. For example: Grabbing the end of the drill then slapping the guy in the head with it is PRICELESS.
May 13, 2013I shall tell upfront that I am not a fan of simulation games. They tend to just bore the living crap out of me. But every now and then, from any genre, comes a game that catches my eye and my full attention (sometimes some money in my pocket). In this case, It was Surgery Simulator. I played the original, free version and found it quite comical, the silly controls reminiscent of Octodad levels of derpy. When I saw a full version for sale on Steam, I bought it in a heartbeat before the drugged doctor cut my heart out. I come back to tell you I feel... slightly satisfied, but also a bit disappointed. The basic premise is that you are Nigel, a recently hired doctor, or a med student (I never could guess which) who takes lots of drugs, making you do surgeries quite stupidly in your odd status. You must do heart surgery, kidney surgery, and brain surgery in a few different locations, each harder to handle. The laughs and the comedy is still there, if anything, better than ever. It's hilarious to smash a patient's ribcage open, throw their lungs onto the floor, cut out the heart, then try replacing it with a radio or giving the guy two hearts, making him a Time Lord, but the game seems a bit like a joke told too long. It's price doesn't really make me feel justified for it's content. The game is too small for how much is asked for. The frustrating controls also leads to a water cooler experience. No one has the same results and everyone will have a story. But for one last gripe, it's on the controls. They're fine, but sometimes, they seem, unresponsive or spazzy on occasions. The game isn't bad by any right, but couldn't this be cheaper?… Expand
Apr 22, 2013This game was originally a flash game made for a contest that was then made into a full game in 48 days. The game is quite hilarious fun and very rewarding when you are able to finish a surgery. It also encourages you to experiment in the main menu and in the surgeries with its awesome secrets. Though the physics engine is quite buggy and and there are many times where the scalpel would clip right through other stuff (sitting in the table and flying through the patient's body are two examples). There are also only three surgeries available to complete (heart, double kidney, and brain transplant) After these are completed, you can do them again in the back of an ambulance in ambulance mode (and the heart transplant again in a secret mode). It also can get frustrating when essential tools or the replacement organs fall on the floor or out the back of an ambulance because you then have to restart the operation no matter how far into it you are. The game has some hilarious fun and encourages experimentation but the lack of content and the many bugs keep it from greatness. 7/10… Expand
It's hard to choose a score for this game, but I went with a 7 mainly because it does exactly what it's trying to do, and does it solidly. However, by it's very nature this game is the kind you will play for a few minutes to a few hours, being outrageously entertained, then completely forget about it.
Think the preposterously difficult control system of QWOP in a 3D physics environment in which you must perform surgery with wildly inappropriate tools.
Hilarious, mindless fun.… Collapse
Jun 30, 2013You won't be ever able to imagine a most annoying and frustrating than Surgeon Simulator 2013.
This said and considered, I must admit this game is interesting and well-made and the Team Fortress update adds chaos (and fun) to an already enough chaotic (and funny) simulator.
Jan 18, 2014Maybe Surgeon Simulator is amazing if you have the patience to master the controls but i dont have that patience. Any game that feels tedious and frustrating generally isnt going to convince me to try and master it, a tutorial or free play would have been nice and allowed me learn the controls but without it Surgeion Simulator doesnt promise anything worth hanging around for.
I got it for free and im glad i did beacuse there is no way i would pay £6.99 for a game whose main gameplay element is broken controls.
While i'm loath to give any game 0/10 this game boasts how little time it took to make and in my opinion it shows, maybe i'm the only one who doesn't find broken controls hilarious but in my opinion this game has no redeeming features.… Expand
Aug 13, 2013This is the Worst Green light game that I have Ever had the misfortune of playing. It feels like an unfinished college project done by someone who failed their computer gaming course. It was a waste of money and wouldn't be worth downloading if it was free. I admire the programmers creativity, but they should have at least made an effort. I feel like the joke is that I would have been better off flushing the $9 down the toilet, that way at least I would have had the satisfaction of wiping my butt with it first.… Expand
Oct 31, 2013This game is a great game if you like fooling around with a person's body. This game is humorous, because you can (for example) rip the patient's lung and will still survive. The game is glitchy, but the glitches in this game are so funny that you would almost think it is part of the game. A great game, overall.
Nov 2, 2013This game would be better if the hit box wasn't so bad. I failed the kidney transplant in the ambulance because I had the two kidney's in there, but weren't in the right spot. That damn ambulance driver who shoulda never went to driving school, made it fly out the guy's stomach. Both kidneys were in, but the game gave me the middle finger and said nope sorry. The hit box is bad and that ambulance driver needs to be fixed. No one drives that bad. This game needs to be worked on some more.… Expand
Dec 22, 2013I enjoyed it, but this game has unfortunately made me fail my PhD in surgery. It seems that this game does not match the work of a surgeon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mar 24, 2014Made an account just to say that this is the worst video game that will ever exist in the universe.It literally has the worst control scheme ever devised, and the physics came straight from hell. id rather make a burger from my pancreas than playing this game,i hope the developers die.DONT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!
Mar 29, 2014worst game ever i honestly want 100% of my money back. i wasted about 20 min trying to grab a freaking hammer. steams lucky i cant demand my money back
Sep 30, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very funny experience, nothing serious here, I really laugh out loud every minute that play the game, is full of secrets and Easter eggs. It worth the ten bucks that costs.… Expand
Aug 24, 2013There's nothing funny or even fun about this game. I consider myself to have a great sense of humour, but when the whole "joke" of the game is about how impossibly terrible the controls are, I find myself angry that I don't even get real gameplay out of my $3. Amateur Surgeon did a great job of blending humour with fun, and I feel like this tried and failed to be a 3D version of that.
Apr 28, 2013This game is the most hilarious time you'll ever have controlling a hand and five fingers. Wait, that sounded wrong. You controll a hovering hand and every one of its fingers, trying to perform either a kidney-, heart-, or braintransplant on your patient (I like to call him Justin because I like stabbing him in the eye a lot, so you Bieber). The extremely difficult controlls and dark humorous tone make this one of the most viral sim-games ever.… Expand
May 2, 2013This game when it comes down to it is just stupid fun, anyone looking for a serious surgeon simulator this is not the game. But for those that enjoy trying to get a hang of controls and improving on your previous attempts then you will like it.
May 26, 2013A good cheap fun game. A weird physx engine combined with awkward controls and a very steep difficulty curb make it seem unfinished, but it has a great charm that has to be experienced. Two things to know before buying it:
1. It's not made to be taken seriously. Don't expect realism.
2. It will get boring after about 4 hours. There's only 7 surgeries. It's fun while it lasts, but the appeal fades quickly.… Expand
Jun 15, 2014Good idea.
Bad controlling.
I felt my hands ached,the control is not convenient or efficient enough at all,when playing this game,and this scattered the interesting feel of it.
May 26, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like it. When you even start the game, you can mess around on the menu screen with the great options of drawing stuff, playing video games in a video game, and answering a phone. When you do begin, there are three modes of surgery and three modes of where you do it. The modes of surgery are a Heart Transplant, a Double Kidney Transplant, and a Brain Transplant. Overall the controls are annoying, but in a good way as this is meant to be funny. The modes of where you do it each have a different feature, such as in a Surgery Room nothing, in an Ambulance everything bounces up now and then, and in Space there is not gravity. There's way to stop him losing blood, such as injections, which makes it feel even more realistic. Its a fun, addictive cheesy game and I enjoy playing.… Expand
Aug 7, 2013Controls suck like nothing else, the levels are rage inducing, frothing at the mouth hard and I haven't had this much fun sense playing Nintendo hard games as a kid. I whole heartily recommend buying this game not only for yourself, but for your friends as well.
Feb 6, 2014This makes Half Life 2 look bad. No, seriously.
Since this thing needs 150 characters to be submitted, I present to you the most necessarily long sentence ever made!
Nov 16, 2013This game is a good game to play for a good laugh at first, but as you start to get serious, you'll realize that half the tools that you have are useless or to hard or dangerous to use, and when you drop an item, it's gone, including organs. Some of the operations are also difficult, mainly the kidney transplant. Easy at first, the left kidney is blocked by a vein that is impossible to cut or move, and it blocks your guys hand from reaching the kidney. There are also many glitches, such as tools leaving the environment, getting your hand stuck in the body or rib cage. The controls are also very difficult to use. For example, when you try to grab an object that is near another one, it will either glitch around and have a disco party in your hand, fly out, or your guy will simply grab the other object. If the developers improved controls and the operations, fixed the glitches, added new uses for the tools, and even make all items that can block your way removable, I would highly recommend this game.… Expand
Feb 2, 2014I have to say, I had an amazing amount of fun messing around in this game. I think the big thing you have to realize is that this game is a giant joke. It's NOT supposed to be an actual simulator. It's a weird quirky mess of terrible controls and severed organs, and I love it.
Nov 3, 2013This game is pretty good, but not spectacular. The humor is pretty good, the concept is innovative, and It's constantly being updated. However, trying the actually play is beyond frustrating. Objects you try to pick up often faze through your hands, and It's very hard to pick objects up in the first place. I do realize It's meant to be a joke, but the price tag is a bit high for a joke.
Nov 17, 2013This game is fun and brilliant I have never really seen anything like it. So let's get down to the missions, the missions are fun mess up able and fast. Normally you will rage but that is not that common now. They have added new missions a TF2 DLC and a little space mission that you have to find. The graphics are nice they are cartoony in my opinion. So that's it. That's the game.
But the game on steam!… Expand
Jan 21, 2014Sorry but I hate it.
I realize it is made to be a game parody of some kind, but this thing sucks.
There is no point "advancing" (which after all is a matter of luck).
It's not funny after the first 5 minutes (make this 2 minutes... no make it 60 seconds). It's annoying.
I bought this as part of a bundle, lucky me.
Jan 14, 2014Amazing and interesting game which actually is and isn't a simulator..despite it's weird control mapping, it's an fun game and I recomend it to play it with a friend because it's way more funnier
Feb 20, 2014As a fat gay dad, I've been having trouble finding success as a neurosurgeon. This game has provided me with all the tools I need to learn to perform my own practice surgeries at home. Soon I'll be practiced enough to become a genuine surgeon. No penises are in this game, and no obese women as far as I could tell.
May 18, 2014Surgeon Simulator is not recommended if you want to become a real doctor, but it is so epic! This game is played as a solo, but honestly, you'll laugh alone! Surgeon Simulator is part of the list of games "WHAT THE **** to recommend. In short, if you want to have fun (and break your patients at the same time), buy this game!

MIAMI (AP) - A trial date is still uncertain in the case of two Pakistani-born brothers accused in Florida of plotting to detonate explosives in New York City.
Defense lawyers must review classified evidence and get some FBI recordings translated from the Pashto language. A judge on Wednesday set a July 11 status hearing for 20-year-old Raees Alam Qazi and 30-year-old Sheheryar Qazi.
They are jailed on charges of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
Both have pleaded not guilty to charges that carry a potential life prison sentence.
Prosecutors say Raees Qazi sought to avenge deaths from U.S. drone attacks in Afghanistan. They say he researched bomb-making techniques and traveled to New York to scope out targets, but lacked money and materials.

No one is surprised to see Alabama in the top spot of any college football
poll whether it's recruiting or the one that matters on the field.
Nick Saban and Alabama won Scout's National Championship in recruiting for the Class of 2008 that included Julio Jones, Mark Barron, Marcell Dareus, Courtney Upshaw, as well as this little three star running back named Mark Ingram.
Three years ago, it was Florida State who sat atop the recruiting rankings with a No. 1 class in 2011 that included Devonta Freeman, Kelvin Benjamin, and Rashaad Greene among others. Who was No. 2 that year? Auburn.
Recruiting isn't everything, but getting the right players on Signing Day can go a long way towards delivering on a team's hopes and dreams over the course of the next four years.
So here's a look at the Top 25 recruiting classes in the country according to Scout.
Updated Wednesday 2/6 12:05 AM EST
|Much of Alabama's dominance much of the last decade can be attributed to trench warfare. The Crimson Tide own the line of scrimmage in their games. That aspect of their game is only going to get stronger in the near future with the additions of the nation's No.1 offensive tackle Cameron Robinson, and the nation's No. 1 junior college prospect regardless of position Dominick Jackson. Robinson is physically capable of playing right away, and Jackson will be expected to. It's not just about the beef though as Alabama went over to Texas and got one of the nation's fastest players in cornerback Tony Brown. It may be a lofty comparison, but Brown has Deion Sanders-esque speed and swagger. Despite the Scout Commitment tracker picking Alabama, it was still considered a surprise to a lot of us at Scout when Auburn High School product Rashaan Evans, the nation's No. 1 linebacker chose Alabama on Signing Day. It was considered an off year in Tuscaloosa this year because the Tide dropped two games and only finished third in the country after back to back BCS Championships. There's the talent in this class to help the Tide "rebound".
|Another year, another Top 10 finish for LSU. The Tigers class is headlined by the No. 1 overall prospect in running back Leonard Fournette. The Class of 2014 is the year of the running back, and Fournette is the best of the bunch. He's arguably the top running back prospect since Adrian Peterson. Texas A&M isn't the only team with three No. 1s as the Tigers have Fournette as well as inside linebacker Clifton Garrett and safety Jamal Adams on the commitment list. The Tigers are poised to make a run towards the top of the recruiting chart as we close in on Signing Day.
|Florida State signed the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation three years ago (Auburn was No. 2), and that group included playmakers Kelvin Benjamin and Devonta Freeman among others. This is another championship caliber group led by running back Dalvin Cook. In what is the deepest running back year of my career, Cook is another special player with size, balance, agility, and speed. The Seminoles are looking to refortify the trenches as they have commitments from six players ranked as defensive tackles by Scout including DeMarcus Christmas ranked No. 8 at his position. With two junior college offensive linemen coming in, Chad Mavety and Kareem Are, the Seminoles are positioning themselves to make another run at a National Championship this year. The Seminoles started their Signing Day march towards the top of the list with a signature from 4-Star defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi of Virginia, Beach, Va. Nnadi is the No. 3 defensive tackle prospect in the entire country. Florida State continued to bolster their defensive line on Signing Day with a signature from Lorenzo Featherstone of Greensboro, N.C.
|In today's 140 character attention span, some may have forgotten how dominant Tennessee has been in the not so distant past. Sure the Vols have 30+ recruits in this class, but that's not why they're in the Top 5. They're in the Top 5 because they have commitments from a whopping 17 prospects rated four-stars or better including a pair of running backs in Jalen Hurd and Derrell Scott. Hurd is a big athlete at 6'2 and 210 pounds who could play a number of positions, and Scott has speed to burn. The Vols have a four-star prospect committed at every position save quarterback, and Tennessee has young talent on the roster at that position.
|Urban Meyer knows no other place than the Top 5 in his time with the Buckeyes. Meyer pieced together the No. 3 class in the nation in 2012 in just six weeks while claiming the top spot last year. Meyer and the Buckeyes show no signs of slowing down. If it was playmakers in last year's class including Dontre Wilson, the Buckeyes are going to inject a heavy dose of talent into their linebacker corp. this year. Ohio State is brining in three of the nation's top four outside linebacker prospects in Sam Hubbard, Kyle Berger, and Dante Booker, and adding the nation's No. 5 inside linebacker prospect Raekwon McMillan for good measure. The Bucks are going long on receivers as well hoping to give Braxton Miller another vertical threat and receivers Johnnie Dixon and speedster Curtis Samuel could fit the bill.
|Notre Dame is making a concerted effort to bolster the front seven with the Class of 2014. Of the Irish's 22 commitments, half of them are linebackers and defensive linemen including 5-Star inside linebacker Nyles Morgan of Crete, Ill. There is definitely an emphasis on speed on the edge, because eight of those 11 are either defensive ends or outside linebacker prospects including Grant Blankenship, the nation's No. 10 defensive end prospect. On the offensive side of the ball, receiver Justin Brent has the skill set and physical ability to come in and contribute right away. The Irish weren't content to sit on 11 as the number of players in the front seven as Notre Dame added a signature from 4-Star defensive tackle Daniel Cage out of Cincinnati, Ohio.
|Texas A&M seemingly overnight has become the IT team in the nation's most talent laden state. Kevin Sumlin and staff have been lights out on the recruiting trail the last two years, and it continues this year with the Aggies garnering commitments from three players ranked No. 1 overall at their respective positions. Defensive end Myles Garrett, quarterback Kyle Allen, and receiver Devante Noil (Speedy) all sit atop their prospect ranking list. Adding smaller, faster Speedy Noil at 5'11/185 sub 4.4 to a crop from last year that included the nation's No. 1 receiver Ricky Seals-Jones and freshman contributor Laquvionte Gonzelez borders on absurd. The Aggies are also injecting a heavy dose of linemen with 10 committed (5 OL/5 DL) highlighted by Garrett.
|The Auburn Tigers have been a team of turnarounds the past 12 months. Head Coach Gus Malzahn first resurrected a recruiting class that had fallen out of the Top 25 to finish No. 14 last year, and now he has a lot of momentum on his side after the even more drastic turnaround on the field. We've mentioned running backs several times already, and Racean Thomas is No. 1 worthy in just about every other year. 5-Star junior college signee D'haquille Williams is Auburn's most gifted receiver before he's even taken a snap. 5-Star linebacker Tre Williams is already on board, and he was joined by another 5-Star in offensive lineman Braden Smith of Kansas.
|Florida's fall from grace wasn't exclusively an offensive problem, but it nearly was. The Gators are going to get bigger and stronger in the trenches with six offensive linemen committed and three tight ends. The headliner of the group is David Sharpe of Jacksonville, Fla. and junior college transfer Drew Sarvary will be counted on to play early. Quarterback Will Grier is the No. 4 quarterback in this class, and he's expected to be the future in Gainesville. Florida is also getting an injection of talent on the defensive side of the ball including 5-Star defensive end Gerald Willis and the nation's No. 5 ranked cornerback Jalen Tabor. Florida moved into the Top 10 with a solid effort on Signing Day including a signature from dynamic athlete Treon Harris of Scout's National Champion Booker T. Washington.
|A coaching change, the last year of crippling NCAA sanctions, and USC signs a Top 10 class? Look out Pac-12. Steve Sarkesian and the USC Trojans will have a full 25 next year with a strong Class of 2015 on the West Coast. No one had a bigger Signing Day than the Trojans with announcements from three 5-Star prospects including two of the nation's Top 10 players in JuJu Smith and Adoree Jackson.
|Take care of South Florida, and the Hurricanes will be a Top 10 team. That's always been the mantra, and Miami has done a good job of taking care of South Florida with commitments from a trio of 5-Stars in defensive end Chad Thomas, running back Joseph Yearby, and offensive lineman K.C. McDermott. 17 of Miami's commitments come from the state of Florida, but the Hurricanes have stepped out of state to fill some needs including 4-Star quarterback Brad Kaaya of California and playmaking receiver Braxton Berrios of North Carolina.
|Georgia was in an interesting position two years ago with the nation's No. 1 running back Keith Marshall and another highly ranked back in Todd Gurley. Hindsight being what it is, Gurley is the superior player, but it's a nice problem to have. Déjà vu could strike in Athens with Georgia having 5-Star Sony Michel on board as well as another supremely talented but lower ranked Nick Chubb joining him. Georgia added another running back on Signing Day with a signature from Isaiah McKenzie, but McKenzie could see time as a slot receiver at Georgia and should be an immediate impact player as a return man. It was a long wait but worth it in the end as 5-Star defensive end Lorenzo Carter chose to stay home and play for the Bulldogs.
|Oklahoma is about to get an infusion of talent on the offensive side of the ball with 5-Star running back Joe Mixon coming from California. Mixon has hands like a receiver with the size of a linebacker. He has the talent to contribute immediately next year. The Sooners had a lot of success in California several years ago with a trio of players in receiver Kenny Stills, safety Tony Jefferson, and running back Brennan Clay, and Oklahoma is trying to strike gold again with Mixon and big receiver Dallis Todd (6'4/210) from La Mirada, Calif. The Sooners made a move on the eve of Signing Day with a commitment from 4-Star safety Steven Parker out of Jenks, Okla. and continued on Signing Day with 4-Star signatures from receiver Michiah Quick and lineman Kenyon Frison.
|The year of the running back extends to the junior college ranks and Oklahoma State is coming away with maybe the most explosive player in the country in Tyreek Hill. Undersized but with documented 10.1 100 meter times, Hill has Olympic aspirations and may fit into a slot receiver role for the Cowboys. He has hold your breath type of speed. With three 4-star defensive ends committed, headlined by in-state star Jordan Brailford, the Cowboys will be fast and explosive on defense as well as offense.
|Speaking of no one being surprised to see a team in the Top 25 anymore, insert Stanford. It wasn't that long ago that The Cardinal was a punch line on the football, field, now it's Stanford delivering the blows. Stanford signed one of the best offensive line classes of the modern recruiting era in 2012, and the Cardinal is going to stay tough in the trenches with 5-Star Casey Tucker headed to the Farm. The nation's No. 1 tight end Dalton Schultz picked Stanford in January helping to boost Stanford in the top Top 25 (again). It had long been thought that 5-Star defensive end Solomon Thomas would end up at Stanford, but the speculation was put to an end when Thomas selected the Cardinal on Signing Day.
|Three years ago Florida State and Auburn finished No. 1 and No. 2 in the recruiting rankings. Two years ago it was Texas who won the Scout National Championship in recruiting. The big difference between Florida State and Auburn of 2013 vs. Texas of 2014? Quarterback. Texas has been a donut team since Colt McCoy left: a big hole in the middle. Jerrod Heard has all the tools to play the Teddy Bridgewater role in for Charlie Strong, but a true freshman doesn't lead a team to the National Championship. But Heard is a championship level quarterback before he leaves the Horns, and he's the key to this class. The big playmaker on defense comes in the form of defensive end Derick Roberson. Long, lean, and explosive, Roberson can make an impact as an edge rusher right away and can be a dominating force on defense before his career is done.
|Arizona State's most exciting prospects in the Class of 2014 are on the offensive side of the ball. Quarterback Manny Wilkins is relatively inexperienced, but with his size and his athleticism, he has a world of upside. Wilkins may be the future, but receiver Eric Lauderdale could make an immediate impact next year as a 4-Star junior college transfer. While the bulk of the top recruits are on offense, the Sun Devils' top recruit is linebacker D.J. Calhoun out of El Cerrito, Calif. Calhoun is a bit undersized, but he plays big, and he plays fast.
|Ole Miss was easily the surprise team of the year in 2014 with a Top 10 finish. Now no one is surprised to see Hugh Freeze and the Rebels in the Top 15 as Ole Miss and the new staff has solidified themselves as one of the top recruiting teams in the country. Ole Miss is adding another talent infusion to the trenches specifically with big offensive line prospect Roderick Taylor (6'3/330). Taylor is a massive people mover for the interior line and has the size and strength to contribute early. Breeland Speaks (6'4/285) is Taylor's polar opposite on the defensive line, but no less talented. Speaks is undersized by comparison, but he's cat quick and the size will come with time. Garrald McDowell is another quick interior lineman joining the Rebels in the fall. When people speak of SEC Speed, they talk about defensive linemen like Speaks and McDowell.
|People ask all the time if a big season will impact the current recruiting class, and the answer is usually that it makes a difference with next year's class. The Spartans may have closed with 5-Star defensive end Malik McDowell without the Big Ten and Rose Bowl Championships, but it couldn't have hurt. The Spartans caught fire after their victory over Ohio State with commitments from McDowell as well as 4-Star defensive tackle Craig Evans and 4-Star safety Montae Nicholson.
|After signing the No. 3 class in the nation in 2013 including everyone's all everything Myles Jack, UCLA could afford to aim high this year. The Bruins went national in their recruiting effort, but lost on southern 5-Stars Rashaan Evans and Malachi Dupre at linebacker and receiver respectively after already landing linebacker Zach Whitley out of Texas. From a national perspective this class will be judged on the Bruins' success with their out of state hopefuls, but a closer look reveals a smaller class, but talented core that includes talented defensive linemen like Ainuu Taua and Jacob Tuioti-Mariner and big time playmaker Jaleel Wadood at defensive back.
|If Ole Miss was the consensus surprise team of 2013, Kentucky is going to get a lot of votes for the Class of 2014. Even if he doesn't pan out, getting 4-Star quarterback Drew Barker to stay in state early on in the process was a good message from the Wildcats that they would be a force this year. Last week the Wildcats secured the crown jewel of the recruiting class in 4-Star defensive line prospect Matthew Elam, another Kentuckian. Mark Stoops and Kentucky focused on the No. 5 talent producing state in the country last year, Ohio, and realized its much easier to get Ohio players to come south than it is southern players to come north, and it's paying off again this year. 11 of Kentucky's 28 commitments are from Ohio.
|It speaks to the depth of the running back class when Royce Freeman (6'1/220) is ranked eighth in the nation, but he still has 5-Stars next to his name. Last year Oregon took lightning fast Thomas Tyner, and this year they get his compliment in bruising Royce Freeman. People question if Freeman's style fits what Oregon likes to do, and I remind them of LeGarrette Blount's success at Oregon. Plus, big, fast, and hard to tackle fits any system. Dual threat quarterback Morgan Mahalak certainly fits what Oregon likes to do as he is an excellent runner and thrower.
|With their exciting brand of football and high profile players the last few years, it should be no surprise that offensive players are flocking to play for the Bears. The Class of 2014 is no exception as Baylor's three highest rated commitments are offensive skill players headlined by the nation's No. 4 receiver Davion Hall. Not putting all of their eggs in one basket, Baylor also has a commitment from the nation's No. 5 receiver in Kd Cannon giving the Bears arguably the top receiving class in the nation.
|We've grown accustomed to seeing South Carolina in the Top 25, so their absence this week was conspicuous. All the Gamecocks did on Signing Day was get announcements and signatures from four 4-star prospects in a pair of corners Chris Lammons and Wesley Green as well as linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams and defensive lineman Dexter Wideman. South Carolina quietly had one of the best Signing Day hauls in the nation with that quartet, insuring another spot in the Top 25.
|If anyone has done a better job the last three years to make something out of nothing, I don't know who it is. First crushing NCAA sanctions, now a coaching change a month before Signing Day, and yet here is Penn State sitting in the Top 25. Frankly (no pun intended), the Big Ten needs a guy like new Head Coach James Franklin. I was embarrassed for the Big Ten when coaches started complaining that Urban Meyer was recruiting committed (to other teams) players in his first month on the job. Franklin is brash, bold, and fearless. He's not going to be well liked by the opposing fans in Penn State, but ask Vanderbilt how it felt to be liked the 30 years before Franklin showed up.

main index
The wheel of fate is turningBlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is the first game of the BlazBlue series, created by Arc System Works, later followed by BlazBlue: Continuum Shift.Long ago, a terrible monster called "The Black Beast" appeared and began destroying everything in its path, spreading a toxic substance called "seithr" across the planet and threatening to cause The End of the World as We Know It. Humanity was on the verge of extinction when a group known as the Six Heroes arose and developed weapons to fight the Black Beast: the "Armagus", an artificial form of magic powered by seithr that anyone could use. With humanity empowered by the Armagus, the Black Beast was defeated and the Six Heroes disappeared into history. This event became known as the "First War of Magic".Humanity began reconstruction in low-seithr areas and formed the Novus Orbis Librarium note (otherwise known as the N.O.L. or "The Library") to govern the world and the grimoires that controlled the Armagus. However, the N.O.L. quickly grew into The Empire and began to abuse their power, aiming to create a hostile monopoly on the Armagus grimoires. A resistance movement attempted to rebel against the N.O.L's growing power in an event known as the Ikaruga Civil War, but were defeated. As a result, the N.O.L. imposed even harsher restrictions on the Armagus, making Armagus possession (outside of the N.O.L's own members) punishable by execution without trial.In the year 2199, several branches of the N.O.L. are suddenly destroyed by a One-Man Army known only as "Ragna the Bloodedge". Wielding a powerful Armagus called the Azure Grimoire, he declares the start of a one-man war against the N.O.L. and their tyrannical grip on the world. In retaliation, the N.O.L. imposes the largest bounty in history to anyone who kills him.As news spreads that Ragna has arrived at the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi, a ragtag bunch of N.O.L. operatives, bounty hunters and vigilantes straight from the Dysfunction Junction descend upon the city, each one seeking out Ragna for their own purpose. Meanwhile, Ragna heads for the dark secret lurking in the centre of Kagutsuchi, a single purpose resting in his heart.The game uses a 4 button system: Weak Attack (A), Medium Attack (B), Strong Attack (C), and a unique Drive Attack (D) for each character.The Arcade version of Calamity Trigger was released on November 20, 2008, and console ports for the PS3 and Xbox 360 were released on June 30, 2009. The console version included online play, a new Story Mode that is set up somewhat like a Visual Novel, a new anime opening by J-Pop artist Kotoko as well as several new anime cutscenes, English voice acting, and much, much more. Console releases are sold in retail and premium editions which include a combo DVD, an artbook (several of these are now backordered, unfortunately), and a limited edition soundtrack, which includes every song in the game except for the main theme and the two extra songs for certain characters, and instead replaces them with remixes by rap artist Oh No. The European version was released much, much later. April 2nd, 2010, to be specific. As compensation, it has all the DLC included for free.There's a PSP port, entitled BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Portable, and a Windows PC version of Calamity Trigger, released for the Games for Windows platform on September 2, 2010. The latter is available for $35 and, much like the PAL release, for the fans who waited so long, includes all of the console DLC for free. The same PC port was brought to Steam (albeit without GFWL parts or online VS.) on February 14th 2014, then later on April 14th to GOG.com the same year.

Comments, questions and tips
Well, we had it with garlic today and I have to say it's very nice too. We just put in half a clove as we only had one avocado left and it was delicious, though the garlic-less version does taste more fresh and zingy. So bottom line, if you like garlic, do it with garlic, if you don't, do it without, you can't go wrong either way as this recipe is pretty great! We used it as a pizza dip today and it is probably the healthiest thing I've ever dunked my pizza crust into. Thanks Barney!
We made this last night to go with some fajitas and it was absolutely brilliant. We declared we are going to make this every day from now on and never buy ready made again! We actually made it in a food processor, blitzing the herbs and chili first, then the tomato, the avocado, and seasoning and lime last. It took about 3 minutes to make! Will try it again with garlic and let you guys know the results.

November 28, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin has replaced offensive line coach Mike Markuson just two games into the season.
Badgers coach Bret Bielema confirmed the move Monday. Bielema insisted it wasn't a knee-jerk reaction to the Badgers' disappointing start to the season, saying that he and Markuson have had several conversations about the direction the team was heading. Markuson will be replaced by Bart Miller, a graduate assistant.
The Badgers have fallen out of the Top 25 after barely beating FCS school Northern Iowa, and then losing at Oregon State on Saturday.
Markuson joined the Badgers after the departure of Bob Bostad, who went to Pittsburgh after former Badgers offensive coordinator Paul Chryst took over as the Panthers' head coach. Bostad then took a job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

DISEASE BACKGROUND: It's estimated that one percent of the American population has epilepsy. For 20 percent of these patients, the seizures, known as medically refractory seizures, are not controllable by medication. With these cases, the only option has been brain surgery and only if doctors could pinpoint the area of the brain that was causing the seizures. Now, researchers are treating patients in a noninvasive way using beams of gamma radiation.
RESEARCH: The purpose of the clinical trial is to see if radiosurgical treatment will result in a significant reduction in seizure numbers in patients with medically refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. The study will use two different doses of radiation with patients randomized into either a low- or high-dose group.
Researchers believe both radiation doses will be successful in eliminating seizures in more than half of the patients. Patients will undergo a number of preliminary tests including an MRI for doctors to pinpoint the area to focus on in the brain. Patients will then be treated in a hospital and will spend one night for observation.
The effects of the radiation may take several weeks to a few months to begin. The final outcome may not be known for as long as 18 months. The main risk with the procedure is necrosis, or swelling of the brain, which can cause headaches and other side effects.
PREVIOUS STUDIES: What makes this new treatment so effective is that advanced technology allows doctors to precisely target 201 beams of radiation at one specific area. This allows a small area to be treated with high doses and without warming other areas of the brain.
Radiation has been shown to reduce seizures in animal models. However, only a small number of animals have become completely free of seizures, but the follow up time has been relatively short. As for humans, patients with seizures associated with brain tumors often show improvement in the number of seizures they experience after radiation treatment. Additionally, a multi-center European trial is in progress with excellent seizure reduction. In that study, 20 patients were treated with radiation and 18 patients report being seizure-free 15 months after treatment. The study is still ongoing.

text: It's been more than five miles since I've seen any signs of human life. It's been three miles since I've seen any semblance of a trail. It's been one mile since I've lost my mind. Venturing solo into the backcountry for the first time in my life, I might have over-reached a bit. I'm deep in the mountains of the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) and not that far from some of the most remote country in the lower 48 states. Every bush is a hungry bear and every rustling of sage a mountain lion. I try to calm myself: "I'm an EMT and am on Search and Rescue for heaven's sake," I say out loud. "I've spent dozens of nights in the wilderness and was even my own porter all the way to Everest Base Camp. I can handle this." This is a 70-mile backpacking adventure down the spine of the main mountain range in the BTNF. I do not believe myself, however, and, standing in an open field at 10,800 feet, I am close to tears. This is not the way camping was intended. But I am nothing if not stubborn (just ask my boyfriend). Rather than turn around and spend a comfortable night sans imaginary bears back in my bed in Jackson, I decide to pitch camp right there. My initial plan of attack had called for me to make it six more miles before settling down, but crawling inside a tent has always had a cathartic effect on me in the past. I hope it will again, and maybe restore some of my sanity. Bushes are not bears and I am too big for a mountain lion to carry off. As I suspect, I fall asleep nearly immediately, but am awoken within four hours by one of the brightest moons I have ever seen and a pack of coyotes dancing and yelping just outside my tent's front entrance. I step outside, the moon bright enough to silhouette the mountains encircling me in all directions and illuminating the cacophonous coyotes. There is absolutely no sign of another human or civilization anywhere; no bears or mountain lions either. My sanity returned, I heft myself onto the top of a small boulder nearby and just soak it all in. Now this is the way camping was intended. I'm a fan of any and every type of camping, be it car camping with plush sleeping pads and down pillows or in a forest service cabin with a wood-burning stove. But, for me, the undisputed king of camping is backpacking: hiking into the wilderness with all the necessities for surviving the next night, or two, or three, on my back. Little else in life feels as good as finding the perfect spot for the night and settling in. Filtering water, getting the camp stove going, pitching a shelter, hanging the food out of the reach of bears, pulling your sleeping bag out of its stuff sack, crawling into that sleeping bag and falling asleep to nothing but the sounds of nature are all part of the routine. Just writing about it brings me a sense of peace. In order to spare you the temporary insanity I endured, here are three different backpacking options throughout Wyoming, rated for ability and remoteness (it takes a while to feel comfortable knowing you're the only person, or people if it's a group of you, around for miles).

Our nation needs more supplies of all energy sources―including oil and natural gas―to meet growing energy demand and provide consumers with reliable fuel supplies.
Market fundamentals are behind recent crude oil price increases. As the economies of the world begin to recover from the recession, global demand for crude is increasing while global excess oil production capacity is shrinking. Furthermore, buyers of crude oil are also clearly concerned about instability in major oil-producing nations in North Africa and the Middle East.
Following Pres. Obama's decision to reject the Keystone XL permit, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is looking to ship oil sands crude to Asian markets and met with Chinese President Hu Jintao in February 2012.
Shipping oil sands to Asian markets is a loss for American job creation, the U.S. economy and overall U.S. energy security for years to come.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a safe and well-regulated technology that has been used for more than 60 years in more than one million wells. In the United States, an estimated 35,000 wells are drilled using fracking each year. Fracking has safely produced more than seven billion barrels of oil and 600 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and studies estimate that up to 80 percent of natural gas wells drilled in the next decade will require hydraulic fracturing technology.
The latest published data for the fourth quarter of 2013 shows the oil and natural gas industry earned 6.3 cents for every dollar of sales in comparison with all manufacturing, which earned 8.6 cents for every dollar of sales.
In 2013, the effective income tax rate for the oil and natural gas industry averaged 40.2 percent, compared to 25.2 percent for other S&P Industrial companies. America's oil and natural gas industry supplies $85 million a day to the U.S. Treasury in the form of income taxes, rents, royalties and other fees. That adds up to more than $30 billion a year. With pro-energy development policies it could produce $800 billion in additional cumulative revenue to the government by 2030.
Because integrated oil and natural gas companies are large, their earnings are large. What's not often reported is that over the last five years, average earnings for the oil and natural gas industry have been well in line with the rest of the U.S. manufacturing industry, averaging about 7 cents for every dollar of sales compared to 8 cents for manufacturing. The average fell slightly to 6.3 cents on the dollar for the oil and gas industry, but increased to 8.6 cents on the dollar for all U.S. manufacturing by the fourth quarter of 2013 as the U.S. economy continued to recover.
EnergyAnswered.org is a project of Energy Tomorrow, intended to promote a fact-based discussion about energy by answering your most burning questions about the oil and natural gas industry.

You have found your gucci handbags, the finest design ever conceptualize! But wait! Are you a collector gucci handbags or opt to settle for a replica Gucci Bag? It is really up to you. How can you tell the difference between a gucci boots and gucci handbags?

The tag says gucci boots and stamped where gucci handbags for cheap is made, usually those made in Europe, it is authenticated as "gucci outlet" or some gucci handbags products are already made outside Italy, but the design and quality control are the same. Some gucci boots have a touched of oriental or Indian design, like the gucci belts, which many girls and women, ages 16 to 50 would love to have gucci handbags. A gucci handbags doesn' t have one.
Third, look for the gucci boots care card; this is one of the customer care services initiated by gucci leather wallets, differentiating it from a replica gucci outlet.

Forth, check on the zips, depending on the design, authentic Gucci Bags have zippers unique to gucci leather wallets designs, depending on what type of bag you opt to buy. How about a gucci handbags for cheap, which costs $34,500 in gucci outlet! The zipper of a gucci outlet leads you to its interior goat skin, feeling smooth and soft.

The materials of the gucci handbags on how it is placed on the tag. Whether it is manufactured in Italy, China, India, or Mexico, the quality and fashion sense is the same- ITALIAN gucci outlet!

Soprano Converts Clinic to Concert Hall
Written by Adam Zewe
The soprano's voice reaches a booming crescendo. Audience members applaud as they sit back and prepare for the next aria. The music belongs in a concert hall, but this opera performance occurs in the waiting room of the Urgent Care Clinic.
The concert, performed by soprano Joann Moorer and pianist Chungwon Chung of the Peabody Institute, is sponsored by Dr. Joseph Davidson, assistant professor in the Department of Oncology and Diagnostic Sciences. Passionate about music, Dr. Davidson funded the concert to ease patients' stress while they wait for treatment. It is the third show he has sponsored this year. "This concert is an opportunity for our patients to hear things they might not have heard before," he states.
Performing in a dental clinic is a new experience for Moorer, who has been singing opera for five years. The music expresses deep emotions, she explains, and many people find the melodies to be a soothing distraction. "It takes the audience to a place where they can be calm and relaxed," she remarks.
Moorer's powerful voice fills the room as she performs songs by classical composers Mozart, Handel and Liszt. Students and faculty peek out of the operatories to catch a glimpse of the musicians. Patients tap their fingers in time with the music, a lively tune from Mozart's famous opera "Don Giovanni."
Patient Horace Johnson, of Baltimore, closes his eyes, taking in the soothing melodies. Hearing opera in the waiting room is a pleasant surprise that helps the time pass faster, he says. Patient Geraldine Miller, of Baltimore, enjoys hearing the music change tempo and volume throughout each aria. "The singer has such a beautiful voice. It helps take my mind off my pain," states Miller.
