Not that I think it will be bad on consoles, but I'm seriously considering cancelling my preorder on amazon and getting it on Steam.
Decisions, decisions. :/

I'm sure it will be fine on consoles, but obviously (as always) PC is offering the best experience.

With the age of the consoles and the ambition of the title, it doesn't surprise me that the publisher now tasked with selling the game is trying to put its best foot forward.
@themanwithnoplan: I would probably do that as well, if psn let you cancel preorders. I recently found out the game scales very well and I could probably run it on my laptop... Oh well, I'm kind of glad I get a chance to platinum it, since steam achievements suck balls

No way, definitely wait for the Vita version, it';ll be the best.

IGN's review seemed to indicate that the console versions weren't significantly inferior to the PC.
Either way, I don't have the option of playing it on PC.

It'll be fine, though the PC master race will continue to win out.
@naru_joe93: I think it was last years E3 that Ken Levine went on Sony's stage and said there was going to be a Vita version of Infinite. Though the rumors say it is not happening now.

Don't mind some muddier graphics when the art design looks as good as it does. My computer won't run it anyway so I've no choice but to roll w/ the 360 version. Will be picking this bad boy up later today and by hell avoiding all further reviews.

Played a ton on the 360 and the frame rate can get shockingly bad when things are really hectic. Anytime you use the skyline there is a ton of slowdown, and some textures when stared at up close are pretty shoddy also.
I have a decent PC and a pregnant wife who always plops down on the couch watching tv so my decision was made for me before the game ever came out. With that said, I'm sure the console version will be fine. People are saying some textures are muddy but what do you expect with a console that is nearing it's life cycle end. It won't be nearly as pretty on the PC, but that can be said for most games. If your only choice is the console, absolutely don't hesitate to pick it up.

Can't I pick "decent PC" or something? Or maybe "I prefer playing on a PC?"
Whatever, I guess master race or something... eh. Woo.
It shows off their best work graphically, is infinitely easier to distribute (puns!) and is the version people have the most questions about.
Console versions will probably have muddier textures, run at 30fps, but otherwise be an equally great experience. 360 will likely run a touch better, but be on two discs.

Graphics aren't everything guys!
(Nine Months later)
Lawlz! PC people are so dumb! Our graphics are awesome as theirs!
(A joke obviously, but if you get hurt, just why?)
As a PC gamer, I despise the fucking PC elitism that runs rampant throughout most gaming circles. Not everyone can afford a decent rig that cost the hundreds that they do, and you're making those people feel even worse.
- A console is just as fine.
- A console is just as fine.
As much as I eye roll at the whines about PC Elitism, I also roll my eyes at the insecurities of those who wring their hands about it. It is like they need self validation for every decision.
Congratulations on getting Bioshock Infinite! Worry about what you like and what you play on. Don't worry about the other guy and what he likes and wants to play on.

I have information on Henry LANFORD's wife, Elizabeth Bird WATSON. She was the dau of either Joab or James B. WATSON, two brothers who migrated from Albemarle Co., VA to Madison Co., AL before 1819. Henry's brother William LANFORD married James' dau Martha Ann WATSON. James and Joab's father, John "Hightop" WATSON, died 1833 in Albemarle Co., VA. They are both found on the 1830 census there, before moving on... I think Joab went to Tennessee (possibly where brother William was living), and James B. WATSON is found in Talladega Co., AL 1840. Both brothers then migrated to Phillips Co., AR about 1844. James died in 1848, leaving wife Sarah CLEVELAND Watson and several children appearing on 1850 census. Joab appears on 1850 census, but he died in 1852. Joab had 15 children, and James had at least eight - but I cannot reliably assign many of the known children to the proper father. Perhaps the details of some of the Madison Co., AL marriage records might help. I have been unable to locate a will for either James or Joab in Phillips Co., AR - but I have only spoken with clerks at the County Clerks Office, and not inspected the records myself.
I have additional details if you are interested. Would like more info on the LANFORDs.
Mark Watson

Longman-History Today Awards
Peter Furtado announces the winners of the 2005 Longman-History Today Awards.
The Trust was set up to commemorate the long relationship between History Today and Longman publishers, and it prizes the creation and popular dissemination of serious history in all its forms. The Book of the Year award, which this year was shared between two authors, the modern German historian Nikolaus Wachsmann and medievalist Joanna Laynesmith, is intended to encourage new writers and is given for an author's first or second book only.
Other prizes were awarded to Ruth Brocklehurst forVictorians, a picture book published by Usborne for secondary school children; Sally Nicholls and Suzanne Bosman for their picture research; and, in an award made jointly by the magazine and the Royal Historical Society, Andrew Arsan of Cambridge for his undergraduate dissertation on Lebanese and Syrian politics in the early twentieth century. The prizes are described in more detail below.
We are offering all UK readers the chance to win a set of all the books shortlisted below. Click here to enter the prize draw online.
Trustees Award
This is given to an individual or organization that has done outstanding work to promote history. The publication of the vast, and vastly useful, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography was undoubtedly the outstanding event in history in 2004, with its famous 62 million words, 60 volumes, and 15,000 contributors covering 55,000 subjects.
Book of the Year Prize
For an author's first or second book in English, published October 2003-September 2004.
Judges: Jeremy Black (University of Exeter), Julian Jackson (Queen Mary, London), Miri Rubin (Queen Mary, London).
Joint winners:
Nikolaus Wachsmann
Hitler's Prisons: Legal Terror in Nazi Germany (Yale University Press)
J. L. Laynesmith
The Last Medieval Queens: English Queenship 1445-1503 (Oxford University Press)
Both books are reviewed in our Book Reviews section.
Proxime Accessit:
Rana Mitter
A Bitter Revolution: China's Struggle with the Modern World (Oxford University Press)
- Peter Harrison Castles of God: Fortified Religious Buildings of the World (Boydell & Brewer)
- Glynis Ridley Clara's Grand Tour: Travels with a Rhinoceros in Eighteenth-Century Europe (Atlantic Books)
- Stuart Semmel Napoleon and the British (Yale University Press)
This prize acknowledges the often unsung work of historical picture researchers.
The joint winners are Sally Nicholls for her massive work on The Seventy Great Inventions of the Ancient World, (Thames & Hudson) which has 550 images assembled from across the globe and comes over as fresh, immaculate and highly authoritative; and Suzanne Bosman, whose work on Land Marks: Impressions of England's National Nature Reserves, published by English Nature, ranges from historic prints and paintings to modern location shots, engravings of plants, portraits and so on, and is a joy to look at on every page.
Also highly commended is Sinead McCoole whose work on No Ordinary Women: Irish Female Activists in the Revolutionary Years 1900-23 (The O'Brien Press) began as an exhibition, and eventually turned into the book which she also wrote, and who has discovered a huge numbers of previously unpublished photographs.
New Generation Book of the Year
For a book that inspires enthusiasm for and involvement in history among secondary school students.
Judges: Chris Wrigley (University of Nottingham), Sean Lang (Historical Association), Don Henson (Council for British Archaeology).
Ruth Brocklehurst
Victorians (Usborne)
A review of Victorians appears in our Book Reviews section.
Highly Commended:
- Andrew Billen, Who Was Sam Johnson?: The Wonderful Word Doctor (Short Books)
- David Carpenter, Dockland Apprentice (Bears Hide Publishing)

Proxime accessit:
Sebastian Walsh (University of Durham)
'Most trusty and beloved': Friendship, trust and experience in the exercise of informal power within the early Elizabethan polity – the case of Sir Nicholas Throckmorton.
An extremely competent appraisal of the career of Sir Nicholas Throckmorton, the early Elizabethan diplomat and courtier whom Walsh rescues from relative obscurity and resoundingly places as a major player in the early politics of Elizabeth's reign.
Highly commended:
Thomas Neuhaus (Essex University)
'Sing me a swing song and let me dance': The Swing Youth and cultural dissent in the Third Reich.
Neuhaus teased out a fascinating account from extremely limited sources, on the equivalent of the beat generation of Nazi Germany.

Evan Turner's energy is taking over this game. Not sure I've written that since he was in Philly.

The Ibaka Effect: It looks like Evan Turner should have an easy layup, but as soon as Ibaka steps to him, he kicks: http://t.co/8psfwrkvMb
Evan Turner runs like an old guy jogging out to his mailbox in the middle of winter.
Having Evan Turner on the court against a zone is not ideal. Just not a threat at all.
Sullinger's backdoor assist to Evan Turner was credited to Jeff Green, at least according to NBA.com's media site.

My Friendly and Convenient Lisbon Bargain
Advantages: Convenient location, superb staff, pleasant rooms, and CHEAP
Disadvantages: It's not a particularly lovely or lively area
...Cutting to the chase
For the sake of those who don?t like reading longer hotel reviews, I?ll cut to the chase on this one. Hotel DAH (or Dom Afonso Henriques) in Lisbon is one of the most fantastic hotel bargains I?ve had in many years and I really can?t recommend it highly enough. At prices barely higher than you?d pay in some cities for a hostel, you can get a comfortable room with en...

Review of Hotel Dom Afonso Henriques, Lisbon
So white that they could have called it Casa Blanca
Advantages: Spacious rooms with great comfy beds. Considerate staff and good food
Disadvantages: Very out of the way - but with good transpart links
...with a Bastion Hotel (which led to all of us sending ?over my dead body? emails to her) she picked the Casa400 hotel in Amsterdam East.
I didn?t know this area and I don?t think I?ve ever visited it before. Our office is in Diemen to the south of the city and Casa 400 lies pretty much between the office and the centre of the city. The hotel says it is nine minutes from the city centre and five...

Review of Casa 400 Hotel, Amsterdam
A Casa Away From Home
Advantages: Good location, nice room and hotel, well maintained, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Housekeeping leaving mugs with cold coffee in them!
...Last summer, my partner and I returned to Amsterdam, a city we love, for a week long holiday. We spent some time on various websites comparing hotel prices and locations, trying to find one in a good spot which suited our budget. We found the Hotel Casa 400 quite suddenly on booking.com, and decided to go ahead and book straight away. The price for seven nights was around £580 ? the website...

If there is, as ocean carriers say, too little demand for freight space and too much capacity on the water, Sheila Hewitt is wondering why her shipping customers in the U.S. are seeing cargo containers "rolled" off ships in China while access to export containers is stalled on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
"We're just short of a crisis with the rolling and bumping of containers," said Hewitt, vice president, international, at Transplace, a Dallas-based logistics provider and non-vessel-operating common carrier. "There's a consensus that we're in an overcapacity environment, but currently that's exactly the opposite of what we're experiencing."
In fact, Transplace's customers have been complaining their containers have been denied boarding at a port in northern China since the shutdown of Chinese factories for the Golden Week holiday in the first week of October. Carriers told her the shortages are a temporary hangover from the national holiday when they took out some capacity to accommodate the shutdown of Chinese factories, followed by the suspension of some trans-Pacific services for the slack winter season.

But the sudden difficulty in securing space on the trans-Pacific indicates carriers are beginning to cut back on the glut of global capacity that has sent freight rates to lows last seen in 2009 in the middle of the Great Recession. "We're seeing lower rates on Asia-Europe and the trans-Pacific than we saw in 2009, and dramatically higher fuel costs," said Ron Widdows, senior adviser to Neptune Orient Lines, who stepped down as its president and CEO on Oct. 1.
Widdows, speaking at the annual Textile and Apparel Trade & Transportation Conference in New York last week, said the low rates already threaten to affect the trans-Pacific contract negotiations that typically begin in early spring, and carriers already may be taking action to minimize the fallout.
Sidebar: Load Factors Tumble
Erxin Yao, president of OOCL (USA), said carriers already have withdrawn 10 percent of their trans-Pacific capacity since September. He likened the financial pressures at container lines to those in 2010 when carriers, hit hard by the downturn in 2009, idled hundreds of vessels. "My guess is," he told attendees at the textile and apparel conference, "we are going to have to see ships laid up."
Importers already are seeing the impact.
The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index for movements from China to the U.S. West Coast increased in the last week of October for the first time since mid-August. And although rates on other big east-west lanes were still in decline — and in something like freefall on Asia-Europe lanes — the move to restrain capacity was evident.
Shippers say they're seeing the impact on their operations, as well. "They said it was only to last a week or two, but we're into week four now, and our customers don't have the inventory flexibility to absorb any delays," Hewitt said.
She said this is making it difficult for Transplace and its customers to plan for shipments. "I thought we all learned a very valuable lesson in 2009 and 2010," she said, referring to the aftermath of the recession when carriers had idled about 10 percent of the global container fleet and couldn't put those ships back to work fast enough to meet surging demand.
Sidebar: Capacity for Contracts
"In the last few weeks, the shortage of capacity is starting to resurface and I'm having conversations with carriers that are very similar to what I had back then," Hewitt said.
Widdows said capacity reductions are "unavoidable" because of the economics. "My company has done that." He said shippers will see more reductions in the short term, but not yet to the extent they occurred in 2009. In the longer term, by the time shippers sit down with carriers to discuss contracts on the trans-Pacific for the 2012-13 season, there may be deeper capacity cuts. To support freight rates on the major east-west trade lanes, carriers will have to idle at least as much as the 1.5 million 20-foot equivalent units they parked during 2009, he said.
Maersk Line forecast a full-year loss in its container shipping business after reporting a third quarter loss of $297 million last week. "In the container business, we are hit by very low rates," A.P. Moller-Maersk CEO Nils Smedegaard Andersen said. "There has simply been too much capacity in the market, and there still is." He said capacity would need to be taken out of the market for rates to recover. The market is likely to stabilize when some smaller and less financially solid shipping companies quit the business, he said.
Carriers already have cut 23 services from the main east-west trade lanes with a total of 606,950 TEUs during the spring and summer of this year, according to Drewry Shipping Consultants. Of this, 18 services with capacity of 445,100 TEUs were cut from the trans-Pacific, and five services with 161,850 TEUs of capacity were cut from the Asia-Europe and Asia-Mediterranean trades.
Freight rates tanked on the east-west trades this year because of the huge new vessel capacity being delivered. Scheduled deliveries of new vessels would add 1.28 million TEUs of capacity to the global container fleet this year and 1.44 million TEUs in 2012, according to research analyst Alphaliner. Most of the new ships will have capacities of 10,000-plus TEUs and will be deployed on the Asia-Europe trade, cascading smaller, less-efficient ships onto other trades.
Widdows said carriers had no choice but to order new ships because soaring bunker fuel costs put a premium on the operating efficiencies of newer vessels. But the result will be a troubling transition period for the next few years as carriers work in the newer ships while operating older vessels.
"There will be too many ships and low demand," Widdows said. "It just can't go on. Desperation will eventually kick in, rates will shoot up like they did before and you'll be surprised."
If the carriers can't come to grips with the existing and pending 2013 overcapacity, it's hard to see how they can avoid the continuing decline in global freight rates that have plunged most of them into the red this year and led them to forecast full-year losses. Their losses won't be as bad as in 2009, when they lost an estimated $19 billion, according to Drewry, but they will mark the shortest cycle of downs, ups and then downs again in the 55-year history of the container industry.
Although industry losses can only be estimated because some major lines are closely held and don't publish earnings, carriers could lose as much as $5 billion this year after earning estimated profits of around $17 billion in 2010, in between the two down years.
Carriers blame low freight rates and soaring fuel costs for their losses, but the discounting resembles the rate wars they waged at the beginning of 2009 before they started parking ships. "For whatever reason, there is a priority on market share over sustaining rates," said Paul Bingham, economics practice leader at Wilbur Smith Associates.
Forecasts of global demand for shipping capacity don't hold much hope for carriers that saw global container freight rates fall for the fourth straight month in September, adding up to a 35 percent decline over the last 12 months, according to London-based Drewry Maritime Research.
Drewry's Global Freight Rate Index, which excludes intra-Asia trade lanes, fell 12 percent amid weakness on the east-west trade, particularly Asia-Europe, and the cascading of tonnage onto faster-growing markets in developing countries.
Drewry expects container freight rates to remain volatile for some time. "A less predictable geopolitical and economic environment will make it increasingly difficult for carriers to accurately match new build capacity to demand, so leading to more turbulence in the shipping cycle,"
Drewry's weekly benchmark rate between Shanghai and the western Mediterranean tumbled more than 20 percent in the five weeks to Nov. 2. Drewry's Hong Kong-Los Angeles benchmark rate increased marginally over the same period, thanks to a 4.3 percent recovery in the final week to $1,542 per 40-foot equivalent unit.
A vivid illustration of the effect of increased capacity and sliding freight rates showed in the slump in OOCL's average revenue per container for the third quarter, which fell 12 percent year-over-year. The carriers' loadable container fleet capacity increased 6.6 percent year-over-year in the quarter, sending its overall load factor down 5.1 percent.
Some of the retrenchment has come in the niche services that some carriers launched when cargo volume was increasing steadily and freight rates were above $2,000 per FEU. The Containership Company filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. Since then, Matson Navigation, CSAV and Horizon Lines announced they were discontinuing trans-Pacific services. Grand China Shipping is suspending its trans-Pacific service this month to concentrate on its core intra-Asia and domestic services.
But these weren't enough to dent the glut of capacity that has led carriers to slash freight rates in an effort to maintain market share.
Larger carriers already are considering measures to lift rates. Executives at Maersk Line, CMA CGM and Hanjin Shipping told The Journal of Commerce's TPM Asia Conference in Shenzhen last month they are looking at ways of matching operations more closely to shipping volume.
Deployment of huge new vessels, Hanjin's Christian Sur suggested, may not be a sure thing. "We will have to look at the market and ask ourselves, are we going to deploy these vessels? That decision is not without cost — we would have to pay the shipyards to keep these ships," said Sur, a vice president for key accounts at the Korean carrier. "But this may be the lesser of two evils."
Several carrier executives said they are considering laying up vessels in a search for equilibrium. "If we have to do it, we will do it, yes," said Rodolphe Saade, executive officer of CMA CGM. He said capacity already is withdrawing from the toughest markets. "Is it taking place enough? No," he said. "More capacity needs to come out."
And many carriers with ships on charter are likely to return those ships to their owners at the end of their lease contracts next year. That means the German KG shipowners — the financial partnerships once seen as certain, near-utility investments mechanisms — will bear the brunt of the current overcapacity. "If the charters haven't already expired, they will be expiring in the next three to four months," said Neil Dekker, editor of Drewry Shipping Consultants' quarterly Container Forecaster.
"We've had a couple of announcements by carriers of winter suspensions recently, but we don't know whether they are putting them into normal winter maintenance or idling them more permanently. It depends on how bad things get by next March or April."
And the real direction for capacity in the next two years may come not from the carrier community but from financial institutions that remain wary of risk after the global financial collapse three years ago. "Everybody is looking at the order books," OOCL's Yao said. "But whether those orders get financing is another question."

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade are to merge, forming a new exchange valued at $25 billion.Speaking to investors today, a spokesperson for the management of the two exchanges said: "Cost savings are driving the economics of the merger." The merger is expected to close in the middle of 2007, with improved earnings expected to start 12–18 months later. The combined exchange is expected to save $125 million a year, starting in 2009.Under the terms of the agreement, CBOT shareholders will receive cash (up to a total of $3 billion) and CME shares in exchange for their CBOT shares, at a ratio of 0.3006 CME shares per CBOT share. The merger would leave CBOT shareholders with 31% of the combined company, which will be called CME Group. CME shareholders will get the other 69%.Floor trading will be centralised at the CBOT trading floor, and electronic trading will move over to the CME Globex trading platform.Terrence Duffy, currently CME chairman, will become chairman of the merged entity, with CBOT chairman Charles Carey becoming vice-chairman. CME chief executive Craig Donohue will become chairman of the exchange, and his CBOT counterpart Bernard Dan will act as his special adviser for a year after the merger.The first links between the two exchanges were forged in 2003, when CME agreed to start clearing CBOT trades.The exchanges have not commented on whether layoffs can be expected, or whether the cost savings will translate into lower fees for traders on the exchange.

On the set of his early February NOW cover shoot, NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan is soft-spoken, obliging and easygoing. The Toronto shooting guard doesn't ham for the camera, but he's kind of a natural – or, more likely, he's accustomed to how this works after a lifetime of being photographed. Does he mind taking his shirt off so we can see his tattoos? Sort of, but he hesitantly agrees to be shot from the back.
DeRozan is the Raptors' captain and leading scorer. He is also, at five seasons, tied with fellow Angeleno Amir Johnson as the current longest-serving player. At the All-Star break, he's averaging 22.4 points (10th-best in the league), 37.7 minutes (fourth-most), 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
Because of these stats, and the Raptors' solid play of late, DeRozan spent last weekend in New Orleans.
Making conversation, I offer a "Congrats on All-Star" between flashes. He's gracious. "Only… the third Raptor?" I ask without thinking much. "Fourth. Antonio," he says automatically.
I'm not the first basketball fan to leave Antonio Davis off the too short, too obvious mental list of the franchise's finest players: Vince Carter and Chris Bosh (Tracy McGrady, too, but he wasn't an All-Star in Toronto). But ask DeRozan almost anything about the game and his answers are instantaneous.
"He is a basketball junkie," says Raptors head coach Dwane Casey, currently in his third year with the team.
Chatting after practice one day, Casey recalls an early DeRozan encounter in an ACC elevator. He casually asked the then third-year player if he'd seen a particular game the previous evening.
"He knew the game verbatim. He's a basketball nerd. That's what it takes to make a good player. You could ask Michael Jordan about any game. In this league, you have to be a student of the game, and that's what DeMar is."

Damian Lillard is no stranger to doing things his way in the NBA.
The Portland Trail Blazers point guard made that much clear in the Chicago draft combine in the summer of 2012, when he was the only one of the top 10 prospects on hand who chose to take part in all the drills rather than duck the competition for fear of hurting his standing.
Nearly two years, a Rookie of the Year honor and All-Star berth later, Lillard is taking the same approach when he heads to New Orleans for the All-Star celebration next weekend.
Lillard will become the first player in NBA history to take part in five events during the All-Star festivities that run from Feb. 14-16: the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge Friday night, then the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, Foot Locker Three-Point Contest, the Sprite Slam Dunk contest on what's deemed State Farm Saturday night, and the All-Star game Sunday.
As has always been the for the little-known prospect out of Weber State who has done such big things since making that strong first impression in Chicago, he said he's simply taking advantage of the opportunities that come his way.
"A lot of people don't get the opportunity," Lillard told USA TODAY Sports by phone."So I just felt like it was something that had never been done, and I'm capable of doing all the things that need to be done in all the competitions, so I figured why not go out and be the first one to do everything and get that experience?"
Being invited to compete in the three Saturday events is certainly a testament to Lillard's skill set, as he has sneaky-but-serious athleticism that will be on display during the dunk contest, impressive shooting range (40.5% from beyond the arc this season) that will come in handy during the three-point contest, and ballhandling skills that will serve him well in the skills challenge.
As Lillard knows, though, there will be some who question his decision to take on so many tasks during this time that serves as a much-needed breather for most of his colleagues. And as is typically the case when it comes to Lillard, he's not concerned with the critics.
"The skills competition takes two minutes on the court, the dunk contest maybe will be three or four minutes on the court, and three-point shooting is about two minutes," said Lillard, whose Blazers (35-14) are the surprise team in the NBA this season. "And it's not like the rookie-sophomore game is a real regular season game, so I mean I'm looking at maybe an hour total of actual activity with all five things. People think there's more energy being exerted than there actually is. It's really not that much when you think about the time that you actually spend doing it."

Since the Toronto Raptors traded Rudy Gay away late last year, players and fans alike have started paying attention to the Canadian team thanks to one player in particular: DeMar DeRozan. It's not that the shooting guard hasn't always been there, pushing and motivating his teammates—it's just that it's easy to fly under the radar when you're always putting in extra effort like he does, studying game tape at home and working out at the gym in his spare time. Maybe the humble 24-year-old with a rep for loyalty won't say it, but his diligence is paying off.
DeRozan played a career game against the Dallas Mavericks last week, clinching a 93-85 home win and scoring a personal high of 40 points. The player has also helped carry his team forward through a hot streak that's turning heads. In the process, the purist and born competitor may have foiled what some say was an attempt by Raptors GM Masai Ujiri to move the team down in the standings. Instead, the team is currently placed fourth in the East, making playoffs a possibility.
Now, the rest of the NBA is starting to see what Raptors fans have known all along—that DeMar's an all-star. He received 131,228 fan votes in the ballots, and it's easy to conclude that he'll have even more support when reserves are picked later this week. We caught up with DeRozan the night of his career game for a quick courtside chat about the hard work he had to put in to reach his prime.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Nuggets reserve point guard Nate Robinson is hosting a Super Bowl party Sunday, and Broncos fans aren't invited.
It's not that the affable nine-year NBA veteran dislikes the Broncos or their fan base. It's just that Robinson, who was born in Seattle and played for the University of Washington, has been a Seahawks fan since birth. Oh, and an Oakland Raiders fan too. His father, Jacque Robinson, was born and raised in Oakland.
So forgive him, Denver.
"I'm having a small party, but really, just my kids (Nahmier, Ny'ale and Navyi) are coming down," said Robinson, who said he is an unabashed fan of the Seahawks no matter where he works as a point guard. "Even though I'm with the Nuggets, I can't go against the grain. I'm going with Seattle."

Not since the days of Chris Bosh have the Toronto Raptors had anyone worthy of getting an All-Star nod. Enter DeMar DeRozan, who is making a strong case to represent Canada in New Orleans come February.
His raw averages in the standard categories are all career-highs: 21.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists in a staggering 37.9 minutes per game put him in the argument as one of the best shooting guards in the league. Granted that position isn't incredibly deep, but his averages don't lie.
His shooting percentages hurt his case slightly because the increase in production hasn't been followed by a subsequent increase in his percentages this season. But a closer look into those numbers show he has another career-high in terms of usage percentage with the 15th highest rate in the league at 27.5 percent. That increased workload has led to defenses keying in on him, which in turn provides some explanation for the lower field goal percentage this season when compared to the season prior.
Like most good scorers, DeRozan gets a good amount of points from the free throw line. He has learned to use his slashing ability more, instead of relying on his still-developing jumper. The USC product makes great use of the ball fake off the bounce, luring clumsy defenders into the air to help him get to the line where he shoots a reliable 78.5 percent. He takes the eighth most attempts from the charity stripe in the league and eases in 5.3 of his 21.3 points each game.

Evaluating End-to-End Encryption: Decrypting Retail Card Data Security
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Getting a driver's license doesn't mean one can't be sideswiped or get a speeding ticket. Similarly, being assessed as compliant with the PCI Data Security Standard one day doesn't necessarily insulate one from a data breach in the future. No retailer wants to be vulnerable to a security breach. But complying with security requirements imposed by card brands can be confusing and potentially costly. Because these requirements are constantly evolving, many retailers are hesitant to invest now at the risk that future mandates will require yet another retooling. An end-to-end solution using the format preserving encryption technology optimized in VeriShield Protect meets today's challenges and provides the flexibility to adapt without impacting the POS infrastructure.

Allright their squire
by The-Squire September 21, 2009
A last name of thieves, drunks and scoundrels. Most are men, with very few females being born to this clan. They generally live on top of barren hills and ridges, in close proximity to chicken farms. They start drinking at 10 years old, and do not stop until death. They are known to say the most nasty things imaginable, but are amazing lovers, yet rarely father children.
Those Squires' from the ridge are hard cases. They stole all me wood that was leanin against me shed.
That Squires just called me a horrible name, and told me I was worthless. He then spit in my mouth. But I still love him.

Remains found near Cranmore confirmed as those of missing North Conway man
CONWAY - Officials confirmed the human remains discovered last fall while searching for a missing Conway teenager are those of John Sweeney of North Conway, who disappeared in the summer of 2006.
DNA test results two weeks ago positively identified the remains, Conway Police Lt. Christopher Perley said Tuesday.
Sweeney was 52 years old when he disappeared. He was free on bail after being charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated nine days earlier. Sweeney had been upset that he was involved in a collision that left a motorcyclist injured, Perley said.
Sweeney left a note suggesting he might considering doing harm to himself and left without his diabetes medications, which he needed to survive, Perley said.
Conway police and fire and conservation officers extensively searched the Whittaker Woods area of Cranmore Mountain in northern North Conway without locating Sweeney.
Search crews looking for missing Conway teen Abigail Conway last October came upon the remains south of Whittaker Woods at the base of Cranmore Mountain Resort, Perley said.
"We're unsure if the remains were always there or if some flooding may have moved them there," Perley said.
There is no indication of foul play.
Hernandez, 15, remains missing, and the investigation into her disappearance remains active.

The autumn rains have transformed our ground again. We put the hoe away for winter. My wellingtons are heavy with mud.
Although the gales have pulled the best of the autumn colour, the wind is now my ally in drying the ground. I have to choose my days and juggle my activities. The priorities are digging, to expose the soil to the winter frosts, and planting to make the most of the warmth still held in the ground. Get plants in before the year is out and they will make the root growth they need to sustain them through the worst.
