Check out Gme-Modo's Travis Blair having a chat with long time gamer Jeff McGraw.
Travis has a conversation with a gamer about their best experiences, their impressions on the current state, and where they think gaming should go.
Game-Modo's Travis Blair reached out to Beatshapers, a developer behind several PlayStation games found on various platforms, to learn about a company that seems to really enjoy gaming.
Based on the mini game OMG-Z, OMG HD Zombies is a remake for the PS Vita that shows the developer had some things left on the table after releasing the original. To be as direct as the game is, I will say: download this game for your Vita if you like zombie games.
Do you like brick-breaker games? Have you not heard of BreakQuest: EE? Read on, if you'd like, but rest assured – this freemium game is worth whatever investment you choose.
Atomic Ninjas is an easy game to jump into. Though not very deep of a jump, it offers a surprising bit of strategy and assortment of multiplayer options. Is this one of PS Vita's best indie games?
As part of the Game-Modo team, Travis is of the opinion that the PS Vita TV could stand to receive some improvements before making its way to the west. Do you have any suggestions before or if the PS Vita TV launches in the west?
The Nintendo 3DS XL and the PlayStation Vita are both great portable gaming systems. As someone who has deployed in the US military with a Nintendo DS one time, and with a Sony PSP for another, I can attest to the how much fun can be had with either a portable Nintendo or Sony device during downtime overseas.
BreakQuest: Extra Evolution, the awesome PS mini bloc-breaker game, is coming to the PS Vita as a freemium game with several enhancements. Europe players will get the game next week, while US players will be able to break some blocks the week after.
Velocity, a PlayStation mini – has been remade for the PS Vita as Velocity Ultra. The game is now available in Europe, and those of us in the US are waiting for our shot. Game-Modo spoke with James Marsden, Managing Director at Futurlab, to learn more about the game.

By: Jorge Torres, KOB Eyewitness News 4
The sun was out in New Mexico today, but it was still hard to see through the nasty haze that blanketed the city.
Michael Aranda, who was out walking his dogs, said it's pretty crazy.
"I've been out in it all day. It's just all over town," Aranda said.
Much of the dust actually came in from eastern Colorado.
It was the result of a strong cold front that whipped through the Eastern Plains and pushed the dust to the west.
"That dust, believe it or not, squeezed through the gaps in the mountains and into the valley," said Shawn Bennett from the National Weather Service.
On this day, the dust came from the north, but living in New Mexico, you know that it can come from anywhere.
"We've seen it come from the south, the west, the north, and the east. So it comes from every direction," he said.
The National Weather Service says that because of the drought, dust can be picked up a lot easier than in previous years.

Vimeo Announces its First Original Series: 'High Maintenance'
Last month, we wrote about Vimeo's first foray into original content when Joss Whedon made the surprise announcement that his latest film, 'In Your Eyes,' would be distributed exclusively through Vimeo On Demand.
At the time, we asked Vimeo's General Manager of Audience Networks, Greg Clayman, whether the company intends to pursue more exlusive distribution rights to films or TV shows. "In 2013 we started experimenting with title acquisitions, but recently unveiled a $10M fund to accelerate our investment in bringing quality individual titles and catalogs suited to Vimeo's unique audience to our VOD platform," Clayman responded.
Vimeo today announced the first project that will receive at least part of the $10 million. Six new episodes of 'High Maintenance' – a web series from the husband-and-wife team Katja Blichfeld and Ben Sinclair that centers on a nameless cannabis dealer as he makes deliveries – will be financed by Vimeo and launch exclusively on Vimeo On Demand.
The 13-episode series first debuted on Vimeo last year, and viewers can catch up on the series for free at https://vimeo.com/channels/highmaintenance. The six new episodes are set to debut later this year. Read more

Title: Insoluble insulin compositions
United States Patent: 6,465,426
Issued: October 15, 2002
Inventors: Brader; Mark Laurence (Indianapolis, IN)
Assignee: Eli Lilly and Company (Indianapolis, IN)
Appl. No.: 761903
Filed: January 17, 2001
The present invention relates to insoluble compositions containing acylated proteins selected from the group consisting of acylated insulin, acylated insulin analog, and acylated proinsulin, and formulations thereof. The formulations are suitable for parenteral delivery or other means of delivery, to a patient for extended control of blood glucose levels. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions comprised of an acylated protein complexed with zinc, protamine, and a phenolic compound such that the resulting microcrystal is analogous to the neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin crystal form. Surprisingly, it has been discovered that compositions of such acylated proteins have therapeutically superior subcutaneous release pharmacokinetics, and more extended and flatter glucodynamics, than presently available commercial preparations of NPH insulin. Yet, the present crystals retain certain advantageous properties of NPH crystals, being readily able to be resuspended and also mixable with soluble insulins.
I have unexpectedly observed that when insulin is made less soluble by
derivatizing one or more of its reactive side groups, the derivatized
insulin can be incorporated into NPH-like crystals with protamine. When
the derivatized protein is precipitated or crystallized, the rate at which
the insulin derivative dissolves from the solid form is greatly reduced
compared with the rate at which similar solid forms comprised of un-derivatized
protein dissolve. I have furthermore discovered that crystals of
derivatized proteins provide flatter and longer time action than do
crystals comprised of un-derivatized protein. Additionally, I have
surprisingly discovered that the benefits of flatter and longer time
action can be obtained even from amorphous precipitates comprising
derivatized protein.

Be prepared to be scared stiff at the Winchester Mystery House this Halloween. Begin with a flashlight self-guided tour through the mysterious house that Sarah built. This bizarre 160-room house is the product of crazed Sarah Winchester, who built the house to appease the ghosts of those that her late husband William Winchester's gun company's weapons killed over the years.
This house holds such unexplained architectural oddities as a staircase that descends seven steps and then rises eleven. There are miles of twisting hallways, secret passageways and doors that go nowhere. Sarah herself died in this house in her bed on September 5, 1922, and is still rumored to walk the halls of her unfinished maze of a house. Zombies, ghosts and other assorted spirits of the night are in the house to surprise you as you tip-toe through the house, unsure of what awaits you around the next corner.
Once you finish the house tour, head to the haunted maze, where portions of the house, graveyard and garden have been transformed into a gateway between this world and hell. Actors expertly portray ghastly scenes of the undead, and frighten you out of your skin as you wind through this maze of horror, pushing you to want to run for your life. Fright Nights are available nightly through November 3rd.
2. Alcatraz
This historic prison and San Francisco icon is well known to be haunted by spirits of past prisoners and would-be escapees. Ghostly hotspots include the solitary confinement cells (supposedly the most haunted) and the utility passageway of Cell Block C, where a bloody uprising took place in 1946.
On your tour, be sure to step inside one of the solitary cells and close the door to be alone. Try taking the night tour to elevate the spooky feeling, as well as the hair on the back of your neck. Book well in advance, these tours "cell" out.
3. Blind Scream – Santa Rosa
At this house of horrors, their theme is "scream if you can." This fright fest is sure to get the blood pumping as you wander through your worst waking nightmares in the House of Zombies. Blind Scream also features a claustrophobic nightmare called The Last Ride, where you lie down in a casket and get "buried alive." Neither is recommended for young children. Want a sneak peak? Check out this video, sure to get a few goose bumps started.
4. California's Great America – Halloween Haunt
Every October this theme park gets overrun by spirits of the night as your worst dreams become reality. This haunt features more than 500 ghouls, seven spine-tingling mazes, three official scare zones, lives stages, and of course the rides. This is not recommended for anyone under 13 years old. Open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night through October 28.
5. Castillo di Amorosa Winery, Napa – Pagan Ball
Visit "The Castle" in Napa Valley that is 20-years in the making, and you will be transported back to medieval Italy. The castle hosts an event called The Pagan Ball housed in the 121,000 square foot, 107 room, 5-level castle, and even has its own underground torture chamber with an authentic "iron maiden" torture device. October 27, 8pm – midnight.
Located in San Francisco's Chinatown, Cameron House was once owned by Lady Cameron who used the basement as refuge for Chinese immigrants from prostitution and slavery. She sealed the doors of the basement to hide and protect the immigrants. Rumors spread throughout the city of her actions and the house was mysteriously burned down, killing everyone inside.
Keep a look-out for old photo albums in the house. It is said that in a few of them, white figures are seen in the background and are mixed in with the regular photos. Tours take place on Fridays from 11am – 12 noon.
7. Dr. Evil's House of Horrors – Guerneville, Sonoma
Dr. Evil's is a throwback to what haunted houses were like in the 1970s and 1980s: a little rough around the edges, with a feeling like you just might get hurt a little bit while being scared stiff.
No need to worry about being hurt, but you will be absolutely frightened as you creep through their maze of horror. Read for yourself in this review on Haunted Bay. Every Friday and Saturday in October, sundown to 11pm, 12 and older.
8. Golden Gate Park – San Francisco
On a casual stroll through Golden Gate Park, one wouldn't have any reason to believe that it is haunted. But upon closer inspection, you will discover there are a few spirits lingering about.
First up: Strawberry Hill atop Stow Lake. It is said that in the 1920s a pregnant woman, wanting to hide her pregnancy from her family, went to Strawberry Hill and disposed of her child and then killed herself in the reservoir.
In the late hours, you may just see her walking around looking for her baby.
The other famous Park ghost story involves a police officer that roams the park, pulling over speeders and handing out tickets. Only he doesn't exist, or at least he hasn't for some time. The legend says that if you are being followed by a police car, go outside the Park to pull over and the car will disappear.
9. Queen Anne Hotel – San Francisco
From the outside this elegant Victorian hotel appears to be exceptionally charming. Inside, however, brave visitors and guests experience a true supernatural adventure. Back in the late 1800s, the hotel was the Mary Lake School for Girls.
If you are feeling particularly brave spend a night in the Queen Anne and request Miss Mary Lake's room.
The Headmistress was devastated when the school closed, and her spirit is said to lurk in the hallways and "hang out" in her old office. Guests have reported cold spots, apparitions and very motherly acts such as the feeling of being tucked in at night.
10. San Francisco Art Institute
For 140 years, the Art Institute has been the home of budding artists from around the world seeking inspiration and education. This building was constructed following the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906, and on the site of a cemetery containing remains of people that perished in that disaster.
It is said that several restless spirits reside in the tower and make their presence known.
This walking tour visits San Francisco's most notorious historic haunted places. Be prepared to hear thrilling ghost stories based on actual San Francisco events. This tour will take you about three hours to complete and kicks off at the haunted Queen Anne Hotel. Five nights a week at 7pm. Not recommended for children under 8.
12. Sutro Bath Ruins – San Francisco
In the far western part of the city lies the Sutro Bath Ruins (named after its builder, Adolph Sutro). Once a thriving pubic swim house, these baths have quite a history. They opened in 1896 and Mr. Sutro died two years after the baths opened. A fire was the ultimate demise of the baths.
Amongst the ruins there is a tunnel that used to be part of the pump house.
It is said that many people have been sacrificed at the end of this tunnel, and if you go at night and light a candle at the end of this tunnel, "someone" will pick it up and throw it into the water.
13. USS Hornet – Alameda
The USS Hornet has the distinction of being called the most haunted ship in history. The Hornet was commissioned in 1943 and in her 27 years of service, over 300 people lost their lives aboard, the majority claimed during combat.
Only second were the number of suicides (the Hornet has the highest suicide rate of any ship in the Navy).
Crew and visitors both have reported an inexplicable number of strange haunted incidents, sightings, sounds like doors opening and closing on their own, and voices heard. But there are other less expected things, such as objects moving across the floor, ghost sailors moving about the ship as if they are carrying out orders, and feelings of being pushed or grabbed when no one is around.
Ship of Spirits event: Friday October 26th, 7pm – midnight. Hear real Hornet ghost stories followed by a paranormal investigation tour. Limited to 100 guests, so book early. Monster's Ball: Saturday, October 27th, 7:30pm – 1:00 am.

My family was a typical African family. Many immediate and distant relations living with us at every given time.
Just as these people were living with my father, I was also living with an aunt in Lagos.
At the age of ten, I had an unforgettable painful experience.
Whenever I came on holidays, I usually slept in my grandmother's room because of the affection we had for each other. Meanwhile, my grandmother, who was running a local restaurant usually woke up at dawn to prepare what she would sell for the day.
On this fateful day, my grandmother did not wake me up because she felt I had just come on a long journey from the city and I needed to rest. So I was left in the room alone.
After she might have left, I observed that someone was lying on my back and making some movements as he lay on my back. This movement was from his waist down. I suddenly became frozen with fear as I lay on the mat.' Who is this person?' I asked myself. 'What have I done wrong that this person would want to kill me?' All these questions raced through my young, innocent mind. I was paralyzed with fear as I lay on the mat.
However, when I realized that this intruder had not done anything apart from the strange movement he was making. I suddenly got up from where I was pinned down on the mat. I got up so fast that my strange companion was caught unawares. I quickly made for the door and ran out of the house. He started running after me and at the same time pleading that I should forgive him and keep the whole episode a secret.
It was then I realized who the intruder was. However, this did not allay my fear. I kept running toward the safety of my grandmother's restaurant. While we were still running we both ran past a friend in the neighborhood who obviously saw us but did not understand what was going on.
When I eventually narrated what happened to my grandmother, she walked towards the house with sudden livid rage waking the whole neighborhood as she shouted on top of her voice.
When the elders heard my story, they all pretended that they did not believe my grandmother and I.
I cried bitterly as I appealed to them to call the young lady that saw us while my assailant was chasing me. But they all turned down my request.
Ironically, it was while they were making a vain attempt to protect the culprit that I realized that I was a victim of attempted rape. This increased my anguish but I got no comfort from no one except a bland sympathy from my grandmother.
Many years later, I realized that this is a tradition among my people. In order to protect the boy and his parents from ridicule, everybody pretended not to believe me.
Hmmm…what a tradition!
Aderonke,I feel your
Aderonke,I feel your dismay,it`s a wierd tradition,the woman is less human and the man super human.
You Woke Up!
You woke up because you were guided to wake up when you did. You were protected and strong enough to realize in yourself that something was not right, and you awakened. I give you praise for being strong and having the voice (along with your grandmother) to shout out a wrong doing. I also see that you didn't let the event STOP you from growing and making others aware of this so called "tradition".
Continue to have a voice! Continue to have a vision for a better tomorrow!
You have such courage to share this story! Where did you find it? How can we all work together to chance this tradition?
*resolved this year to think twice and to smile twice before doing anything*

Worshippers who packed St. Patrick's Cathedral Sunday got to see Cardinal Timothy Dolan one last time before he heads to the Vatican City next week.
Dolan will leave Tuesday to join the group of cardinals who will elect the next pope.
After the mass, Dolan addressed the rumors in Italian media that Pope Benedict XVI has not been honest about his reason for resigning his post.
"I think we ought to take him at his word. I really do," Dolan said. "And all this other speculation, I think, is just that, speculation."
The Pope will officially vacate his office Thursday night, becoming the first pope in 600 years to do so.
Benedict made his final Sunday appearance in St. Peter's Square where he reassured the faithful his decision to leave is God willing.
"The lord is calling me to go up the mountain to devote myself a lot more to prayer now and to meditation. But this doesn't doesn't mean abandoning the church," Benedict told worshipers.
On Saturday, the Vatican spoke out about the rumors calling them deplorable and a distraction from the coming conclave.
As for local parishoners, many seemed hopeful about the future of the church no matter who is chosen as the next Pontiff, perhaps even Dolan himself.
"You gotta cheer for your home team. I would say yea he'd be the guy to go for, but I don't know if they would go with an American or not, or they're gonna go back to an Italian or somebody else, not sure," said one parishioner.
Pope Benedict XVI will make his final public appearance on Wednesday.
Officials are hoping to have a new pope named by Easter Sunday on March 31.

Take Two for April 24, 2013
Mexican immigrants hope reform will allow for reunion with loved ones
John Moore/Getty Images
American citizen Lace Rodriguez and her husband Javier Guerrero from Mexico, embrace with their son Javier Jr. (3), on March 10, 2013 in Nogales, Mexico. The family lived together in Phoenix before Guerrero, an undocumented worker from Mexico, was detained by the Border Patrol, held for three months by ICE and then deported March 4 to Nogales, Mexico. Guerrero had lived in the United States for 17 years. He and Rodriguez, a medical student, have two children, and she is nine-months pregnant with a third. The splitting up of families has become a major issue as the U.S. works towards immigration reform.
Mexico sends the most immigrants to the U.S., and is arguably the foreign country that has the most at stake should comprehensive immigration reform pass Congress. For many Mexicans, the most anticipated part of reform is the chance to reunite with family members living in the U.S. without papers who they haven't seen for years, and in some cases, decades.

Human Trafficking Initiative
According to the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking (CAST), human trafficking is the process by which a person is lured under false pretences such, as gainful employment, and then held captive and controlled for the purpose of exploitation. Traffickers threaten to use force, fraud, or coercion to bring their victims under their control, in addition to abusing the vulnerable social or economic status of their victims. The result is essentially a modern-day form of slavery.
The CIA estimates that as many as 15,000 to 17,500 men, women and children are trafficked into The United States every year. The United States is one of the top three destination points for trafficked victims, along with Japan and Australia. Human trafficking is a nationwide issue and one that I have taken the initiative to eliminate here in California. Human trafficking victims are unable to escape their captors and seek help. Their only hope for freedom is to be discovered by someone who will intervene on their behalf. Because of this, any government agency that has contact with the business community, or elsewhere where human trafficking flourishes, has a moral obligation to become educated on the signs of human trafficking and how to report suspected cases.
In addition to ending human trafficking in California and the United States, we must ensure that our state resources are not being used to fund these criminal enterprises. Therefore, we must consider the possibility that slave labor may exist in company's supply chains that participate in city, county and state contracts, as well as companies doing business in the State of California and selling to California consumers.
There are some state laws in place to address this issue, however, those laws do not eliminate the problem. Last year, the state legislature passed the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act which requires retail sellers and manufacturers doing business in the state to disclose their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chains by January of 2012, and make this information publicly available to consumers.
In addition, the Public Contract Code provides that every contract entered into by any state agency for the procurement of apparel, equipment, materials, or supplies shall certify that no items furnished to the state have been produced by forced labor. Again however, enforcement is limited and the code relies primarily on signed agreements and self monitoring and reporting. As one may imagine, self-reports and voluntary efforts, may not be effective in stopping companies and suppliers who are determined to utilize sweatshop labor.
While these laws are an excellent first step, more needs to be done to stop human traffickers and those who use slave labor. It is especially important that companies participating in state contracts and those selling to California consumers are not engaged in the practice of illegally exploiting slave laborers.
The Board of Equalization will continue this work and continue encouraging other state agencies to provide training to their staff and to be vigilant in the fight to bring victims out of hiding and bring perpetrators to justice. Several non-profit organizations offer supply-chain verification through factoring monitoring, around the world.
Currently, the City of Los Angeles contracts with the Workers Rights Consortium for such a service. Though these services can be expensive, we need to explore cost-effective ways for state agencies, and all government bodies throughout the state, to consider options that will allow for more accurate detection of companies and suppliers that engage in forced labor.
In addition, many non-profit organizations offer data bases of factories and suppliers that have already been investigated by independent third parties for signs of human trafficking. Some of these data bases are available at no cost or for a minimal fee.
We must explore all of these options as we move forward and utilize all available resources in the effort to stop human trafficking and ensure that our state is doing everything possible to make sure that we are not supporting traffickers by allowing products produced by slave labor to enter California's economy.
Between now and the next Human Trafficking Awareness month in January of 2012, we must focus on finding ways to partner with organizations that offer the services mentioned above and reach-out to other state agencies and government bodies to join us in this vital endeavor to protect the integrity of the State of California.
The launch of this human trafficking initiative in California included having investigators from all three state tax agencies trained to recognize and report signs of human trafficking. The three tax agencies include California's State Board of Equalization (BOE), Franchise Tax Board (FTB), and Employment Development Department (EDD).
Partnerships like these enable us to identify employers who exploit workers and inevitably engage in illegal tax evasion by failing to pay employment and insurance taxes, income taxes, and their sales and use tax. This is a large, and growing, element of an underground economy that has undermined California's legitimate businesses and government services for too long. It is also a form of abuse that is de-humanizing and erodes an individual's most basic human rights.
To address this problem we have partnered with the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Human Trafficking (CAST), to assist the state in implementing a state-wide training program for California auditors and investigators. The program includes both live and video-taped training to ensure that every investigator in California's three tax agencies is trained to recognize and report suspected cases.
Inasmuch as victims often have little to no opportunity to come forward and seek help, it is important for potential first responders to know the signs of slavery in order to identify victims. Providing training for agencies that have direct contact with the business community, such as the BOE, FTB, and EDD, is critical step towards gaining the freedom of those who may be victims.
If you are aware-of or suspect any type of trafficking crimes, you may anonymously call the Department of Justice Trafficking in Persons and Worker Exploitation Task Force Complaint Line at 888-428-7581 (voice and TTY). New laws provide options for trafficking victims regardless of immigration status. Operators have access to interpreters and can talk with callers in their own language. The service is offered on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST. After hours, recorded information is available in English, Spanish, Russian, and Mandarin.

Wild Seafood can Fill the Vitamin D Gap
Contact: Erin Knapp
(360) 603-9456 ext. 121
Pediatricians Double Daily Vitamin D Dose for Infants, Children, and Adolescents
Wild salmon is great source of vitamin D for children and families; American Academy of Pediatrics doubles recommended daily dose of vitamin D for infants, children, and adolescents
BELLINGHAM, WA. October 21, 2008 Vital Choice Wild Seafood & Organics, a to-your-door provider of premium wild Alaskan salmon and other carefully selected wild, certified organic and kosher foods, today emphasized the benefits of a diet high in vitamin D from seafood such as wild salmon, one of the best dietary sources of the sun and seafood vitamin.
This recommendation comes as a result of last weeks announcement from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP): children arent getting enough vitamin D, and the daily recommended dose has doubled from 200 IU to 400 IU. According to the report, sufficient intake of vitamin D during childhood may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. In adults, new evidence suggests that vitamin D may reduce the risk of infections, autoimmune diseases, cancer, and diabetes.
Compared to other food sources, fish, such as wild sockeye salmon and albacore tuna, provides high concentrations of vitamin D. Each 3.5-ounce serving of Vital Choices wild sockeye salmon provides 687 IU, while a 3.5-ounce serving of their albacore tuna provides 544 IU. Compare these to other foods commonly mentioned as Vitamin D sources: one cup of fortified milk 98 IU, one whole egg 20 IU, 1 oz. Swiss cheese 12 IU.
For more information on vitamin D content in Vital Choice seafood compared to other foods, see "Wild Salmon Affirmed as Top Vitamin D Source".
Vital Choice also offers adult- and kid-sized fish oil supplements made from pure, wild sockeye salmon oil. The softgels are rich in both naturally occurring vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, and are the first salmon oil supplements approved to carry the esteemed Marine Stewardship Council logo.
This news from the AAP affirms Vital Choices mission to support the well-being of our customers by providing sustainably harvested wild seafood products of superior quality, said Vital Choice founder and president Randy Hartnell. We encourage people to take advantage of the vast benefits provided by regular consumption of wild seafood and a diet rich in vitamin D.
About Vital Choice Wild Seafood & Organics
Before founding Vital Choice in 2001, Northwest Washington native Randy Hartnell spent more than 20 years as a commercial fisherman in Alaska.
Today, he is an active advocate for wild fisheries and ecological sustainability, and Vital Choice is a trusted source for convenient home delivery of the worlds finest wild Alaskan seafood and organic fare.
All Vital Choice foods are among the purest available and guaranteed sustainably harvested from healthy, well-managed organic farms and wild fisheries.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
Jacket Sizing Information. There are three variables to consider when sizing an ICON jacket. The first two are the chest and sleeve measurements, which are what your jacket size is based on. The third is the jacket fit type, which defines the "cut" of the jacket (Attack, Sport, or Relaxed). Instructions, sizing charts and jacket fit details can be found below.

As close as this semester is to being completed, I still feel the need for a break. I'm sure not only myself, but other students and faculty feel this way as well.. It's almost like we are "so close, yet SO FAR AWAY!"
On my way into my Precalc Algebra class on Monday morning, I passed a sign near the East side of the Mathematics building. I'm sure you have seen them around campus. They advertise things such as Farmers Market, or the Art Exhibits, plays, and other campus related events that students would like to know about. I noticed that there was a letter talking about an upcoming music recital, with guitarist Marc Mannino and guests.
I am not normally one for music recitals, but I think this one will be well deserved. His repertoire includes both Jazz, and Classical music, and I cannot think of a better way to relax than listening to Jazz or Classical!
If you are anything like me,
you could use a break from studying, memorizing, stressing, and the every day stresses college students go through. Why not give it a try? It's only $10 to the general public, and $5 for students and faculty. It will be on Thursday April 19th, at 8:00 P.M. in the Neel Performing Arts Center.
If you have any questions, feel free to call the Neel Performing Arts Box Office, at 941-752-5252. If you are interested in knowing more about Marc Mannino, feel free to visit his website at http://www.marcmannino.com/
What types of music do you listen to in order to "escape" for a while, or maybe even to study to? I personally enjoy country music to study with. Nothing can beat good ol' George Strait when I am doing math homework and having fun! Let me know what you enjoy. firstname.lastname@example.com

Beady Eye's debut album was pretty good, but let's face it: It's no Definitely Maybe. Maybe Liam Gallagher has come to believe this truth, too, because after initially vowing not to play Oasis songs with Beady Eye, the new band is dipping into the old band's catalog. During their 6/28 show at Parr Hall in Warrington, Beady Eye performed a pair of Noel-penned classics, "Rock 'N' Roll Star" and "Morning Glory." (Why no "Little James," Liam?) The band also performed a new track, written by Liam, called "The World's Not Set In Stone." Check out video footage of "Rock 'N' Roll Star" and the new song below.

"Beady Eye's debut album was pretty good"
Yeah! I think so anyway. I don't consider "pretty good" to be high praise, but it's definitely not the embarrassment I expected.
It's hard to respect someone with a .com in their username.
I can't comment on the album since I haven't listened to it, but I can say the chorus in "Standing on the Edge of the Noise" is a blatant ripe-off of the Beatles' "Get Back."

oh so you must have a deep knowledge… a music expert. If you can't comment, just don't comment. Should we talk about how many Noel's songs are a baltant ripe-off of not only the Beatles, but all the musicians he copied from? I remind you Noel is the "artist" who had to pay the most money for copying in music history. Oh but you expert surely know…
oh so you disagree with Noel Gallagher who repeated he likes Beady Eye very much? "the Roller a fucking number one single", Gem playing better than him, Liam stil has a great voice, etc. or maybe they were just some of a thousand lies he told?
So can we now just admit that Beady Eye is the country's second best Oasis tribute band (behind Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, obvs)?

Richard Curtis: Book Publishing 10 Years in the Future
Veteran literary agent, e-book publisher and industry blogger, Richard Curtis is not known for keeping mum on what is going right or what is wrong in the book publishing. That is why we were grateful to ask him what he foresees as happening to the book publishing industry in the next 10 Years.
Richard Curtis: What Changes Do You See for Book Publishing in the Next 10 Years?
"1. First and foremost I predict that the size and price of Espresso print on demand will come down to the point where POD kiosks will be installed in non-bookstores like supermarkets, libraries, pharmacies and the like. Which means that…
2. The grip of Barnes & Noble as the go-to bookseller will be loosened. You'll be able to buy a book at Publix, Duane Reade, or Starbucks. You'll have a selection of millions of titles, not just what can be packed into the shelves and tables of a brick and mortar bookstore.

Policy: 201.A - Air Travel
Statement of Policy
Payment/Reimbursement for travel shall be limited to the lowest cost means of travel unless it is impractical or not available. Travel by air shall be limited to the lowest, non-refundable, coach/economy class fare available. The additional cost for premium class or seat assignment fees for premium class (first class, business class, economy plus or economy comfort) travel is generally not reimbursable. If extenuating circumstances arise where premium class travel is required, such travel must be documented, approved by the respective Divisional Business Office and subsequently approved by the UW-Madison Travel Office prior to booking the flight. Employees who seek a disability-related travel accommodation should see http://www.oed.wisc.edu/disability/employee.html for information on the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Note: Alternative fare classes for Southwest (Anytime and Business Select) Airlines are available for purchase in Concur or through Fox World Travel full service, when in policy. Options to book these alternative fare classes are reserved for travelers and travel arrangers that use Concur or Fox World Travel full service and only when the fare is within the "lowest available" policy threshold established in Concur. Per policy, travelers or travel arrangers that do not use Concur for self-booking or Fox World Travel for full service reservations are not allowed to book outside of coach/economy class fares on any airline, including Southwest (Wanna Get Away fare class), unless they have documented, approved, extenuating circumstances.
Associated Fees
- Baggage: The first piece of baggage within the airlines' weight and size limits is allowable. Costs for additional baggage beyond the first piece and overweight or oversized baggage may be reimbursed by providing a business justification.
- Aisle, Window or Exit Row Fees: Reasonable costs associated with booking an aisle, window or exit row seat on a coach class ticket are allowable if purchased within 24 hours of departure or at the airport.
- Change/Cancellation Fees: Fees charged for changing a non-refundable ticket are allowable if justified by circumstances outside of the traveler's control (i.e. meeting dates changed).
- Booking Fees: Travel agency and online booking fees are allowable.
Note: Any additional fees for traveler conveniences or amenities are not allowable expenses.
Departure and Return
The traveler should determine the necessary date for arrival to allow sufficient time to prepare for the business to be conducted. Arrival on the day prior to a morning start time for an event is acceptable. When business is concluded early enough in the day to allow the traveler to return to their home at a reasonable hour (e.g. by 10:00 pm), it is expected the traveler will return that day.
Booking Methods
Fox World Travel, the University's contracted travel agency, can be used to book domestic, international, and group travel. Concur, the contracted self-booking tool should be used to book individual domestic or non-complex international airfare. Visit UW TravelWIse for access to the contract vendor and booking tool. Please note that if travelers use an alternative (i.e., purchase tickets through internet sources or other travel agencies), the University will not centrally pre-pay the airfare. (These statements exclude UW Madison Athletics, which operates an on-site agency under on-going delegation.)
People traveling on university-paid business may use a non-contracted travel agency that best meets their needs for multi-destination international travel and group travel. However, use of the contracted travel agency (Fox World Travel) is recommended in these instances since it will allow UW institutions to further consolidate volume and leverage savings.
Whenever possible, travelers should utilize the University Purchasing Travel Card or the personal-liability My Corporate Card to pay for UW-Madison business-related airfare and allowable associated fees. Airfare and associated fees purchased through the contract vendor (Concur/Fox World Travel) may be pre-paid or pre-reimbursed by the University. Individual, non-complex travel (domestic or international) booked through non-contracted sources will not be pre-paid (e.g. Purchasing Travel Card) or reimbursed prior to the trip. Non-compliance may result in restricted use of the Purchasing Travel Card or delayed approval of an expense report until the conclusion of the trip.
Receipt/Documentation Requirements
Note: Required documentation should be retained in the payment mechanism files. When entering University Prepaid Expenses in e-Reimbursement, an additional copy of the expense receipt is not required in the receipt packet.
Airfare: Complete supporting documentation for airfare includes the following:
- An approved UW – Madison business purpose
- An airline or agency receipt that includes all of the following:
- Traveler's name
- Ticket number
- Destination
- Departure/Return Dates
- Amount of fare
- Itinerary
- Class of travel
- Proof of payment
- Indirect routing and/or extra stops for personal reasons: Indirect routing/extra stops for personal reasons are allowable provided there are no additional costs incurred.
- Departing from and/or returning to an alternate city: Departing from and/or returning to a city other than Madison, Milwaukee or Chicago is allowable provided the fare is more cost effective for the UW, including parking, mileage, meals, additional overnight stays, etc.
- Departing earlier/returning later than business requires: It is acceptable to depart a day early and/or return a day late if it results in a substantial savings in airfare to offset the extra costs of the room, meals, etc.
Associated Fees: A receipt may be required for associated fees depending on the amount and payment method used. For complete receipt requirements, see Policy 201.L Receipt Requirements.
Airline Promotions
Benefits from any airline promotion, such as free tickets for frequent fliers, merchandise, etc., that accrue as a result of UW paid travel belong to the UW and must be used for UW related business only; however, benefits that accrue as a result of voluntary bumping may be retained by the employee.
Note: An employee may not be reimbursed or compensated for business use of personally earned frequent flyer vouchers, vouchers for bumping, discount coupons or other instruments of value.
International Travel
For additional requirements pertaining to international travel, see Policy 201.J International Travel.
Travelers and departmental staff should contact their respective Divisional Business Office for policy or procedural questions.
Divisional Business Offices may contact firstname.lastname@example.com with questions.

A warning to insomniacs: The popular sleeping pill Ambien has blamed for sleepwalking, sleep-eating, and now... sleep-tweeting? At least, that's Kristin Chenoweth's excuse for some of her more regrettable Twitter moments. The 41-year-old actor-singer coined a new phrase during an interview in this week's Time Out NY when she confessed to "Ambien tweeting."
"I do love Twitter. But I get in trouble because I Ambien tweet," the bubbly Chenoweth said, in response to a question about her near-constant Twitter activity. Among her regrets are writing about her desire to adopt a Haitian child -- "The next day on the red carpet, everyone was asking me when my adoption was going to start" -- and tweeting that she felt fat one day. "Every woman has 'fat days'! And everybody was like, 'Don't tweet that for young girls to see.' I thought, Oh my God, take a chill pill." (In Chenoweth's non-anorexic defense, she twittered this last week: "I just ate fried oreos. Wow. I love sugar and chocolate.")
Chenoweth was interviewed along with former Will & Grace star Sean Hayes, her costar in the upcoming Broadway revival of the musical Promises, Promises. While Chenoweth had lots of juicy stories to share -- her college-drinking mishaps, her tendency to be mistaken for Cameron Diaz -- Hayes was tight-lipped about his personal life. Maybe he's feeling vulnerable after his buzzed-about interview in this month's issue of The Advocate, in which he opened up about being gay and the media's pressure to discuss celebrities' sexuality. Chenoweth's take on working with Hayes? "It was love at first sight. It seems like we've known each other for all time."
