Resident Evil was a difficult game to remaster in HD
by Alessandro Fillari
With the rise of high-definition re-releases, many fans have likely made a wish list of titles they hope will eventually get the HD treatment. Whether they be classics from the '90s or 2000s, we're seeing a variety of games find new life in today's market. Unfortunately, not every title can make that transition to modern consoles, be it for technical or design reasons.
Thankfully, Resident Evil is an exception. During a special hands-on session with the game, I experienced what it was like to return the mansion in full HD, and even got to speak with members of Capcom staff to learn about the challenges they faced with Remastered.
They certainly had their work cut out for them.view full story + comments
Here's 26 minutes of Far Cry 4 gameplay with commentary

Max and I got a chance to dick around in an almost-finished build of Far Cry 4, but unfortunately Max went home sick with an earache, so here's my playthrough, along with my impressions. And Max's dumb jokes.view full story + comments
Far Cry 4 features a more dynamic and vibrant open world
by Alessandro Fillari
Back in 2012, Far Cry 3 turned out to be a surprise hit for Ubisoft. It became the bestselling title of the series, appearing on many game of the year lists, and also created a rather excellent spin-off title. But with the announcement of Far Cry 4 back in May, many fans were pretty psyched to have a new game exploring another exotic locale, but also surprised to see something come so quickly.
Here's 5 particularly weird things in Far Cry 4
by Bill Zoeker
Max was poring through some new Far Cry 4 footage and spotted a few things that he didn't quite understand. Here's his top picks of interesting things he can't explain, because this game isn't out yet and we thought you might want to see some of it because this is a videogame website, you clown.view full story + comments
Four things I loved about playing Assassin's Creed: Rogue
by Alessandro Fillari
It's been four years since Assassin's Creed became an annual fixture. Every year, like clockwork, Ubisoft releases a brand new, fully developed title in the AC series. But things have changed slightly this year. In a surprising move, Ubisoft decided to ditch the cross-gen development for this year's release of Assassin's Creed, and focus on making two different titles that focused on different directions. With Assassin's Creed: Unity coming to current gen and PC only, many fans will likely miss out. But it seems like people have forgotten that another title in the series is releasing on the same day.
The ever elusive Assassin's Creed: Rogue, which was just announced two months ago, is Ubisoft's attempt to try to offer something for fans who haven't made the jump to current gen, but also aims to improve upon the design and structure set by fan-favorite Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Speaking with Rogue's producer, Karl Luhe, and after spending a good four hours with the tittle at a recent preview event, I see that there's a lot to like with this recent entry in the series.
But I still do have some misgivings.view full story + comments
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 raises more questions than answers
by Brett Makedonski
My time with Resident Evil: Revelations 2 at Tokyo Game Show was brief -- maybe 20 minutes if we're being generous. Swiftly dumped into the beginning of the game, I was left to try to unravel the mystery of what exactly was happening, an inquiry that went unsolved. It was predictable, though. There's a lot of story to tell over Revelations 2's month-long release of four installments in early 2015; they're not going to clue me in right from the get-go.
What I do know is that I woke up in a jail cell as Claire Redfield, the action protagonist of Revelations 2. She handles all the shooty/stabby parts, and her cohort Moira Burton handles all the investigation bits. Moira was similarly imprisoned close by, until I used Claire to free her. From then on, the two could be switched on-the-fly with a simple press of a button.
Seeing as it was the beginning of the game, this is where Revelations 2 did its best to acclimate players with the simpler mechanics. Here's a knife, stab stuff with it; here's a gun, it's used for shooting bad people. That sort of thing. After teaching me how to push shelving, a zombie burst through the other side, imploring me to punch him with my knife in his big dumb face.view full story + comments
Watch Dogs: Bad Blood goes punk, features co-op play and new modes
by Alessandro Fillari
Say what you will about Ubisoft, but they've got a knack for trying something a little different for their DLC offerings. After the incredibly successful launch of Watch Dogs back in May, it seemed like they've been biding their time with the release of some smaller DLC packs to one of their best-selling new titles. With so much content packed in Watch Dogs, I was curious to see how a single-player campaign DLC can stack up.
But now, it seems Ubisoft felt that four months was enough for players to explore the city of Chicago as Aiden Pearce. With a new playable character, a new set of tools, and new missions to dive into; players can see the streets of Chicago through a fresh perspective, and can even bring a friend along for the ride.view full story + comments
BioWare is working to specifically differentiate Dragon Age: Inquisition from Dragon Age II
by Chris Carter
When I entered BioWare's offices and had a chance to speak to the game's Executive Producer and Studio GM, I had one goal in mind -- to find out how Dragon Age: Inquisition was going to be more like Origins, and less like Dragon Age II.
You'd expect a lot of Molyneuxian backpedaling when confronted with the idea that the last game was a letdown in many eyes, but the responses I received were genuine, with a real concern for learning from past mistakes, and a confident assurance of the game Inquisition could really become.view full story + comments
Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell was inspired by Disney movies
by Jordan Devore
I've played and enjoyed all of the Saints Row games to date, but wonder how much longer this can last. How much more ridiculous can the series get, and even if there is room to up the insanity, do we even want that? Where Volition goes from here, I'm not sure.
Gat Out of Hell, a standalone expansion, will give the studio some breathing room to figure that out while keeping the series on store shelves. As will Saints Row IV: Re-elected, a "Game of the Year"-style re-release for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Both are due out January 27, 2015.
I played a brief demo of Gat Out of Hell at PAX Prime over the weekend and spoke with studio creative director Steve Jaros about how the game is influenced by Disney films. Yes, really.view full story + comments
Geometry Wars 3 may look different, but it feels right
by Jordan Devore
There was some initial skepticism when it came to Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions and its so-called "3D action." For starters, it's been several years since the last games entered our lives to rekindle old leaderboard feuds. There was also confusion surrounding developer Lucid Games who, as it turns out, is made up of former Bizarre Creations staff.
Even if I hadn't known that fact going in, I like to think I would've picked up on it instinctively during a hands-on session at PAX Prime. Despite a few significant changes such as the shift from a flat playing field to planet-like 3D stages, Dimensions unmistakably feels like Geometry Wars.view full story + comments
I could've been a pirate ship but I was a disco ball instead in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
by Brett Makedonski
As I sat down for my appointment with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, I had to make my toughest decision at PAX Prime. Running through Claptrap's capstone abilities, I was faced with the following dilemma: Do I want to become a pirate ship or a disco ball?
I wasn't exactly jarred by the wacky prospect. I mean, this is Borderlands we're talking about, and even more specifically, this is Claptrap. But, you seriously expect me to just select between those two like it ain't no thang?
I went disco ball. I can't say I regret my decision.view full story + comments
Costume Quest 2 is still cute, trying to be more engaging
by Steven Hansen
Costume Quest, like every Double Fine game, is charming. It's a fresh-feeling, low stakes take on the JRPG genre, more Earthbound than Final Fantasy. Though, as Chad put it in his review, it's "RPG Lite," accessible for all ages.
Double Fine doesn't want to sacrifice that, but does want to make Costume Quest 2's combat a bit more engaging. I was engaged with Paper Mario (or Final Fantasy VIII) style timed button presses that help your attacks do a bit more damage. Similarly, a well timed tap on defense will reduce the damage you take. This engagement, though, make things a bit easier so long as you can hit those button presses.view full story + comments
Life is Strange is a world you'll want to lose yourself in
by Brett Makedonski
Gamescom is a noisy, crowded mess. Shoulder to shoulder with patrons that didn't seem to care what they bump into, I trudged my way to my next appointment. As I stepped through the door to the meeting room, something unexpected happened. I was teleported from a loud convention center to a rebellious teenager's room.
Seated at the foot of a twin-sized bed, I took in my surroundings. The top of a makeshift television stand housed a half-smoked joint, while a pair of dirty Converse rested underneath. Posters of influential punk rockers littered the wall, all askew. "Fuck" was scrawled on almost everything, but especially a tattered American flag.
I wasn't in Germany anymore. I was in Arcadia Bay, Oregon. More specifically, I was in Chloe's safe place -- the only spot in the world where a misunderstood teenage girl can be herself. I was inside the world of Dontnod's newly announced Life is Strange, and it was a wonderful place to be.view full story + comments
Alien: Isolation is haunting and uncompromisingly scary
by Alessandro Fillari
Though it was initially seen as "Jaws-in-space," the legacy for Alien is certainly much more pristine than the one with the giant shark. Originally released in 1979, the first Alien would eventually become a much-loved horror film that spawned a major movie franchise. And while the sequels would get more attention and prominence among fans, the original still holds a special place in the hearts of fans.
After the release of some rather disappointing Alien titles, and with the Cameron interpretation of Alien as the de-facto standard for the franchise, the developers at Creative Assembly believed it was about time fans went back to the roots of the series. Just a week before gamescom, Sega invited Destructoid out to get some quality time with Alien: Isolation, and to speak with the game's creative lead, Alistair Hope. During our time, we got to learn just how different horror is when faced off with something out of your league.view full story + comments
Assassin's Creed Rogue gives you more open ocean goodness
by Hamza CTZ Aziz
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was a huge game. Like, you could easily sink 100 hours into that whole experience before getting 100 percent completion. So Assassin's Creed Rogue may or may not be quite the game for you. It just depends, really.
If you couldn't get enough of the pirate sailing and high seas traveling, then you'll be all over Rogue. (Those of you stuck on last-gen platforms, at least). If you've had more than your fill already though, well, Rogue may not have enough to offer you.
Personally, I'm in the camp that's excited for Rogue. More so than Unity, in fact. The open ocean stuff still intrigues me enough to warrant another adventure on a map that's comparable to Assassin's Creed IV's. But more than that, I like the idea of playing as a Templar this time around.view full story + comments

Home and Away: Remembering the fallen
WWII MIA/KIA Marine comes home from Tarawa.
Marine Missing From WWII Accounted For
The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, lost during World War II, have been identified and are being returned to his family for burial with full military honors.
Marine Pfc. Randolph Allen, 19, of Rush, Ky., will be buried July 29, in Arlington National Cemetery, Washington D.C. In November 1943, Allen was assigned to the 2nd Marine Division, which landed on the small island of Betio in the Tarawa Atoll, in an attempt to secure the island against stiff Japanese resistance. Over several days of intense fighting approximately 1,000 Marines were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded. As a result of these attacks, Allen was reported killed in action on Nov. 20, 1943.
In the immediate aftermath of the fighting on Tarawa, U.S. service members who died were buried in a number of battlefield cemeteries. During World War II, U.S. Navy Combat Engineers, "SeaBees," significantly restructured the landscape to convert the island for use by the military. In 1946 when U.S. Army Graves Registration Service personnel attempted to locate all of the battlefield interments, many of the burials could not be located.
From Nov. 12-27, 2013 a private organization, known as History Flight, excavated what was believed to be a war time fighting position on the island of Betio. During this excavation History Flight recovered five sets of remains, personal effects and military equipment. Four sets of remains were determined to be Japanese service members and the fifth set was believed to be that of a U.S. Marine. Two sets of military identification tags which correlated to Allen were also found in the fighting
In the identification of Allen's remains, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) used circumstantial evidence and forensic identification tools such as dental and skeletal comparison, which matched Allen's records.
Of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II, more than 400,000 died during the war.
For additional information on the Defense Department's mission to account for Americans, who went missing while serving our country, visit the DPMO web site at www.dtic.mil/dpmo or call (703) 699-1169.
Further: History Flight used the services of Buster the cadaver dog to locate remains on Tarawa a few years ago with promising results. They have a video on their facebook page of Buster in action. The video was a bit too long to post here. Their web page is worth visiting, also.

Metaforic's Andrew Mclennan, a former game developer frustrated by piracy, spoke to Gamasutra about a new technology his company has created to reduce copying of DS games. Nintendo's tactic so far has been to try to stop the sale of the R4 flashcart in Japan and other countries, but the company is now working with Metaforic to attack the problem from a different angle.
Metaforic's MetaFortress technology, to be used in games by Nintendo and six other publishers starting this year, uses code stored in the actual game that detects the patching used by flashcarts, and then disables the ROM. "We take any DS game and inject a security scheme into the game itself," Mclennan told Gamasutra. "It turns each game into its own security system. Every time we apply it to a different game, it's a different security system."
Though he admits that the software could be hackable eventually, it would require a separate effort for each individual game ROM. "We add so much security to it that it will take a very long time to hack." Mclennan claims that even flashcart firmware patches will be unable to neutralize MetaFortress, though he didn't specify why.
Though Mclennan thinks flashcarts should be illegal, he "sympathizes" with the homebrew community. It wasn't his goal, but disabling flashcart-based piracy at the software level obviates the need for anti-flashcart legislation, which could be good news for homebrew fans.

FDA approves first sublingual allergen extract for the treatment of certain grass pollen allergies
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved Oralair to treat allergic rhinitis (hay fever) with or without conjunctivitis (eye inflammation) that is induced by certain grass pollens in people ages 10 through 65 years. Oralair is the first sublingual (under the tongue) allergen extract approved in the United States. After administration of the first dose at the health care provider's office, where the patient can be observed for potential adverse reactions, Oralair can be taken at home.
Allergic rhinitis with or without conjunctivitis are chronic diseases affecting children and adults. These allergic diseases affect approximately 30 million people in the United States and more than 500 million persons worldwide. These diseases are often caused by sensitivity to grass pollen. Affected people may suffer from repetitive sneezing, nasal itching, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy and watery eyes.
"While there is no cure for grass pollen allergies, they can be managed through treatment and avoiding exposure to the pollen," said Karen Midthun, M.D., director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. "The approval of Oralair provides an alternative to allergy shots that must be given in a health care provider's office. Oralair can be taken at home after the first administration."
Oralair is a once-daily tablet that rapidly dissolves after it is placed under the tongue. Oralair is started four months before the start of the grass pollen season and continued throughout the season. The first dose is taken at the health care provider's office, where the patient is to be observed for at least 30 minutes for potential adverse reactions.
Oralair contains a mixture of freeze-dried extracts from the pollens of five grasses, including Kentucky Blue Grass, Orchard, Perennial Rye, Sweet Vernal and Timothy.
The safety and effectiveness of Oralair was evaluated in studies in the United States and Europe, involving approximately 2,500 people. Some patients received Oralair; others received an inactive substitute (placebo). To assess the effectiveness, patients reported their symptoms and additional medications needed to get through the allergy season. During treatment for one grass pollen season, patients taking Oralair experienced a 16 to 30 percent reduction in symptoms and the need for medications compared to those who received a placebo.
The prescribing information includes a boxed warning that severe allergic reactions (such as anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening) can occur. Oralair also has a medication guide for distribution to the patient. The most common adverse reactions reported by adults were itching in the ears and mouth and of the tongue, as well as swelling of the mouth and throat irritation. In children, the most commonly reported adverse reactions were itching and swelling in the mouth and throat irritation.
Oralair is manufactured by Stallergenes S.A. of Antony, France.

Watch The Wanted Filming 'Chasing The Sun' [VIDEO]
You play it on repeat while driving, work out to it at the gym and dance to it at night — "Chasing The Sun" by The Wanted.
The Wanted's Max George Clears Up Rumors On His 'Break Up' [AUDIO]
Although the video premiere for the new single is still days away, The Wanted's Max George teased fans describing the process of filming the music video saying:
"There's certain shots which we've just done now which are on a rooftop, and then we're filming all night until 6 in the morning, and then the last shot, I think, will be us just kind of walking away looking rather disheveled."
The Wanted Sets Hearts Ablaze In 'Lightning' [VIDEO]
With great success following "Glad You Came" and now, "Chasing The Sun", the band plan on keeping that streak going. "I think we know now from the singles we've got in our pocket, there's no way we're going anywhere. We're here to stay, and our songs are going to get better and better," said Jay McGuiness.
Look out for the debut of The Wanted's US EP album which will be out on April 24th.

July 8th, 2014
On July 8, 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated significant new use rules (SNUR) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 13 chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMN). The rule includes two PMN substances, P-10-5 and P-11-339, that were the subject of TSCA Section 5(e) consent orders and whose reported chemical names include the term "carbon nanotube" (CNT) or "CNT." EPA states that, because of a lack of established nomenclature for CNTs, the TSCA Inventory names for CNTs are currently in generic form, e.g., CNT, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT), or single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT).

Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, June 10, 2010, 20:23Master
If your car has a manual transmission check the drive between the engine and gear box will be connected and released by the clutch assembly which in turn is operated by the clutch pedal and clutch hydraulic system. Check the clutch master cylinder reservoir for fluid and see that it has fluid, if it is low there is a leak which must be found and fixed so you can operate the clutch. If your car has an automatic transmission it may be low in fluid or the transmission itself may have failed.

Developers offer Revolution clues
Industry website Gamesindustry.biz has revealed this week a little more information on what we can expect from the forthcoming Nintendo Revolution console, due out next spring in Japan. Apparently, development kits for the new console are just now beginning to reach external developers, and several have already begun spilling the beans anonymously. We're told that the Revolution will be approximately 2.5 times more powerful than the current GameCube, third-party developers judging the performance from the latest hardware build which apparently includes several of the final build chips. A non final version of the controller is also in there, we're told.
An ATI graphics processor unit called Hollywood will apparently be at the heart of the new system, whilst the IBM CPU powering the console will apparently be called 'Broadway' and will be more than twice as fast as the 'Gekko' chip beneath the Cube. 512MB of Flash RAM is also in there, as is 96 MB of main memory, more than enough according to developers, who note the lack of HD-TV support. The media used will be almost identical to standard DVDs, but the drive itself will also cleverly support Cube media.
Whilst developers have been telling Gamesindustry.biz that the hardware won't be beating the Xbox 360 or the PS3 any time soon, those creating games for the system don't seem too concerned: "The time it'll take to ramp up to developing on this is basically nil - we can just work on a PC or maybe an Xbox, and then improve the quality of our assets when we move to the Revolution. Or even work on a Cube, in fact," one developer enthused.
Porting existing games won't be a problem then, but what will be more difficult will be making games work with the new controller... a far trickier proposition. The lower-spec hardware will also probably keep the Revolution reasonably priced, like the Cube, with an RRP of 149.99 USD already being hinted stateside. More as we get it.

Canada Lithium Announces Water Discharge; Mine And Plant Commissioning Continue On Schedule
About Canada Lithium Corp.
The Company holds a 100% interest in the Québec Lithium Project near Val d'Or, the geographical heart of the Québec mining industry. It has completed construction and is in the commissioning phase of an open-pit mine and on-site processing plant with estimated capacity to produce approximately 20,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium carbonate annually. Metallurgical tests have produced battery-grade lithium carbonate samples. A five-year off-take agreement for a minimum of 12,000 tonnes per year was recently signed with Tewoo-ERDC, one of China's largest commodities traders. A second off-take for up to 5,000 tonnes per year was recently signed with Marubeni Corp., a major Japanese commodities trading company. Lithium carbonate is used in lithium-ion batteries that power consumer electronics (laptops, tablets, etc.), power-grid storage facilities and electric and hybrid vehicles. The Company trades under the symbol CLQ on the TSX and on the U.S. OTCQX under the symbol CLQMF.

Development of a Hydrogasification Process for Co-Production of Substitute Natural Gas (SNG) and Electric Power from Western Coals-Phase I
Development of a Hydrogasification Process for Co-Production of Substitute Natural Gas (SNG) and Electric Power from Western Coals-Phase I The Advanced Hydrogasification Process (AHP)--conversion of coal to methane--is being developed through NETL with a DOE Grant and has successfully completed its first phase of development. The results so far are encouraging and have led to commitment by DOE/NETL to begin a second phase--bench scale reactor vessel testing, expanded engineering analysis and economic perspective review. During the next decade new means of generating electricity, and other forms of energy, will be introduced. The members of the AHP Team envision a need for expanded sources of natural gas or substitutes for natural gas, to fuel power generating plants. The initial work the team has completed on a process to use hydrogen to convert coal to methane (pipeline ready gas) shows promising potential. The Team has intentionally slanted its efforts toward the needs of US electric utilities, particularly on fuels that can be used near urban centers where the greatest need for new electric generation is found. The process, as it has evolved, would produce methane from coal by adding hydrogen. The process appears to be efficient using western coals for conversion to a highly sought after fuel with significantly reduced CO{sub 2} emissions. Utilities have a natural interest in the preservation more »

RealMoney's Take on the Buffett Buy
Editor's note: This morning brought the news that Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) Warren Buffett made a deal to purchase freight rail titan Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI). Within moments, our RealMoney contributors were providing their take for subscribers.
TheStreet.com has always believed that offering a wide variety of opinions and viewpoints -- rather than a monolithic "house view" -- helps readers make better-informed investment decisions. In that spirit, we bring you the thoughts of our varied stable of RealMoney contributors, who offer analysis of stocks and the markets from all angles.
ETF blogger Don Dion started the ball rolling with his post announcing the deal:
Buffett Makes Bold Move With RailsColumnist Sham Gad followed up, wondering about the implications for truckers:
By Don Dion
7:40 a.m. EST
Warren Buffett is making a big bet on economic recovery with his purchase of Burlington (BNI) and splitting his BRK.B shares 50-to-1. Very bullish sign for our country and the market.
Buffett Finally Makes His Elephant Deal
By Sham Gad
8:10 a.m. EST After years of saying Berkshire (BRK.A) would love to make an elephant deal, Warren Buffett is paying $34 billion ($44 billion including debt) for Burlington Northern (BNI). Clearly, Buffett views this as an excellent long-term value-creating acquisition for Berkshire -- his willingness to split the shares to make this happen is proof positive. While I believe Mr. Buffett's comments that this is a bold bet on the long-term recovery of the U.S., I can't help but read between the lines: Does this mean that the long-term future for the trucking industry may be a lot tougher than we think? After all, rail transport of goods is the cheapest form of land transportation. Overall, Buffett's bet should emphasize the favorable long-term outlook for the U.S. economy -- with emphasis on the phrase "long-term."

FAHRENHEIT 451 (the title refers to the temperature at which paper burns) is set sometime in the future and follows Montag (Oskar Werner), a devoted and obedient "fireman" who excels in ferreting out books in the most obscure hiding places. One day, after watching a woman sacrifice her life for
her forbidden library, he decides to keep a volume for himself, curious to learn why these tomes are deemed so threatening. Soon he must choose between his life as a civil servant--in which he follows orders and lives with a listless, television-addicted wife, Linda (Julie Christie)--and his
desire to live as a free thinking man in a free society, inspired by subversive schoolteacher Clarisse (Christie again).
Severely underrated and misunderstood by critics who wanted Truffaut to continue making films like his early French New Wave classics THE 400 BLOWS and JULES AND JIM, FAHRENHEIT 451 is a marvelously courageous personal statement that becomes more fascinating with time. This was Truffaut's first
color film. The cool crisp cinematography is provided by future director Nicolas Roeg. The great Bernard Herrmann supplied the memorable score. leave a comment

Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah
Trade Paperback · 116 Pages
Coffee House Press
Recommended for These Courses
Winner of 2013 Wheatley Book Award in Poetry
Finalist for 2013 William Carlos Williams Award
"Patricia Smith is writing some of the best poetry in America today. Ms Smith's new book, Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah, is just beautiful—and like the America she embodies and represents—dangerously beautiful. Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah is a stunning and transcendent work of art, despite, and perhaps because of, its pain. This book shines." —Sapphire
"One of the best poets around and has been for a long time." —Terrance Hayes
"Smith's work is direct, colloquial, inclusive, adventuresome." —Gwendolyn Brooks
In her newest collection, Patricia Smith explores the second wave of the Great Migration. Shifting from spoken word to free verse to traditional forms, she reveals "that soul beneath the vinyl."
Patricia Smith is the author of five volumes of poetry, including Blood Dazzler, a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award, and Teahouse of the Almighty, a National Poetry Series selection. She lives in New Jersey.
About the Author
"Patricia Smith's dazzling new book sings Chicago and Detroit, the midcentury migration of African American families northward (They say it's better up there …), to cities both harsh and alluring, cities that offer and withhold, raise hopes and dash them at once. Above all, Smith turns her attention—her passion, her fierce sonic powers—to Motown, that aural mirage, the shimmering promises inherent in 'every wall of horn, every slick choreographed / swivel …' Here is one of our essential poets at the top of her form, bristling with energy and fire, praise and outrage. There's no one like Patricia Smith, and her bold, necessary poems light up the American twentieth century in all its song and sorrow." —Mark Doty
"From the Mississippi Delta to Chicago, these poems embody America. Patricia Smith is a formidably gifted poet ('Motown Crown' is stunning), yet perhaps her greatest gift is her openness—my heart is made larger when I live with any of her words, if only for awhile." —Nick Flynn
"At her best Patricia Smith writes poems full of risk and courage, thick with pain and alive with insight and humor. At her best, Patricia Smith confronts memory with delight and alarm, and manages to find music in the abject and callow. At her best, Patricia Smith has discovered the necessary equation to make beautiful, memorable poems: she calls it 'the crunch / of bone, suck of marrow.' In Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah, part elegy to things past, part epic poem of migration and the planting of roots, part anthem to Chicago, to family, to the deepest unspeakable secrets of a girl's coming of age, Patricia Smith is at her best, and the gift she presents to us is truly, truly priceless." —Kwame Dawes
"Smith doesn't clog up the end of the poem with an easy, insincere moral; she just tells her story and gets offstage, which is exactly the right thing to do."—The Stranger
"Patricia Smith is writing some of the best poetry in America today. Ms Smith's new book, Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah, is just beautiful—and like the America she embodies and represents—dangerously beautiful. Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah is a stunning and transcendent work of art, despite, and perhaps because of, its pain. This book shines." —Sapphire
"Smith is a powerhouse poet. Her poems are as tightly constructed as masonry, yet they are quick-footed, spinning, singing, funny, and heartbreaking… . Smith's immediate, deeply compassionate, magnificently detailed narrative poems of one young woman's complicated coming-of-age embody the sorrows, outrage, and transcendence of race-bedeviled, music-redeemed twentieth-century America." —Booklist
"First of all, wow. This book is a treasure."—The California Journal of Women Writers
"Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah is about the Great Migration, when a half million African Americans left the South and moved to Chicago between 1916 and 1970. [S]mith evokes parents and children in the new urban environment." —The Pioneer Press
"[A] whole-cloth remembrance, lament, and celebration that is not to be missed."—Coldfront, "Top 40 Poetry Books of 2012"
"Patricia Smith's newest collection, Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah, evokes a sense of history and self-awareness combined with precise storytelling and the most crafted verse… . In her current incarnation, we find one of the most authentic voice of Modern American Poetry." —Pank Magazine
"The people here are so vividly drawn that the reader is deep in their world by the fourth poem of the book, and what a rich, many-layered world Smith creates, full of passion, struggle, and a fierce and vivid surviving, behind which, all 'swerve and pivot,' all 'languid, liquid, luscious' is Motown… . Smith's poems are their own powerful music." —Mead Magazine
"Welcome to a place of hopes and dreams punctured with rawness and pain. Patricia Smith's autobiographical epic is cinematic in scale yet music box in intimacy… . Smith compresses culture 'til it peals like crystal—like singing light." —The Brooklyn Rail
"This is a wry collection of memories of growing up, learning to lie (to get out at night), learning to be sexy, learning to walk just so, learning to hide … and then, finally, learning to be proud of who and what she is." —RALPH Mag
"Smith's rhythms create a life-breath almost as potent as Motown's beat itself… . [her] fresh diction is surprising enough to be almost a new language."—Rattle

Match Preview
Ancelotti excited by Ramires Carlo Ancelotti hopes that Ramires will play an important part in his plan for Chelsea to dominate the English game for years to come. The Blues could have their first big-money transfer in place by the time they begin their Barclays Premier League title defence against West Brom after Ancelotti revealed that a deal for the Brazil midfielder was close to completion. Chelsea have been in negotiations with Portuguese side Benfica for more than two weeks over the transfer of the 23-year-old for a fee believed to be in the region of #17million. Club representatives finally secured a work permit for the Brazil man despite the fact that he has not played the requisite 75% of matches for his country. Ramires underwent a medical at Chelsea earlier this week and Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti now hopes the midfielder will put the finishing touches to his move soon. "Ramires is doing medical tests again and we hope that he will sign a contract," said Ancelotti. "I hope he will sign soon. He is a fantastic player. He will be the future of the Brazil national team and I hope he will be the future of Chelsea." Petr Cech and Alex have both overcome calf injuries in time to be fit for the game. Full-back Jose Bosingwa is out with a knee injury while the Blues will give a late fitness test to Frank Lampard, who picked up an ankle knock while on England duty in midweek. Didier Drogba (groin), will also be fit to take on the Baggies after he had to settle for a place on the substitutes' bench in last week's Community Shield. Meanwhile, Roberto Di Matteo has admitted he could not have been handed a more daunting introduction to Barclays Premier League management as he prepares to face the champions at Stamford Bridge. As if that was not bad enough for Di Matteo, Albion's next three away games are at Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. Despite that tough start, Di Matteo, twice an FA Cup winner with Chelsea, is upbeat in his ambition for Albion to get rid of their reputation as a yo-yo club after being promoted or relegated six times in the last nine seasons. Although only in his third year as a manager, Di Matteo feels that Albion have the ability to avoid relegation and eventually establish themselves in the Premier League. Di Matteo said: "I want to stay positive and believe we can stay up and remain up in the future. That is my personal aim, the players' aim and the club's aim. "I am very pleased with the group of players I have. They have been fantastic to me. Last season they gave me everything with effort and commitment. "But I do believe that we need to add a bit more competition, quality and experience to our team because we cannot dip into the loan market." Midfielder Graham Dorrans is winning his fight to be fit. Dorrans has been under treatment this week for a groin strain that forced him to withdraw from the Scotland squad for their friendly against Sweden. But he has been able to return to training and Di Matteo is optimistic that he will be available. Di Matteo, who is set to hand debuts to left-back Nicky Shorey and central defender Pablo Ibanez, has a decision to make over who will start in goal and who will lead the attack. England international Scott Carson, who will again skipper team this season, faces a challenge from Welsh international Boaz Myhill following his arrival from Hull. Carson is expected to get the nod to start with Ishmael Miller poised to lead the attack as a lone striker ahead of Roman Bednar.

Match Report
Blues still have plenty of `six appeal` Double winners Chelsea fired an early warning to their Barclays Premier League title rivals as Didier Drogba smashed a hat-trick in a 6-0 opening-day thrashing of new boys West Brom at Stamford Bridge. Florent Malouda set the Blues on their way after only six minutes, with Drogba's free-kick extending the lead on the stroke of half-time. It was more one-way traffic after the restart, as the Ivory Coast striker netted from close range with Frank Lampard making it 4-0 just after the hour. Drogba's deflected effort and a last-minute strike from Malouda sealed an emphatic win for the champions, who put last week's 3-1 defeat by Manchester United in the Community Shield at Wembley firmly behind them. Despite being outplayed, West Brom and their manager Roberto Di Matteo, the former Chelsea midfielder, deserve credit for continuing to display some good passing football, but which tellingly lacked a cutting edge in the final third. Chelsea got off to a flying start when they took the lead after only six minutes. Malouda was tripped by Pablo Ibanez on the edge of the West Brom box. Keeper Scott Carson spilled Drogba's free-kick straight to John Obi Mikel, whose follow-up effort was blocked. The ball then dropped straight to Malouda, who could not miss. The champions were in full flow, with Ashley Cole whipping a low ball across the six-yard box after another surge down the left. However, the conditions worsened, and fit again Chelsea keeper Petr Cech had to be at full stretch to touch away Graham Dorrans' deflected effort. The visitors, who finished second behind Newcastle in the Championship last season, continued to try to take the game to Chelsea, putting together some promising passing moves. Czech striker Roman Bednar smashed a fine finish into the roof of the Chelsea net on 18 minutes, but the offside flag had already gone up for what looked a marginal decision. Cole then drew some predictable jeers from the travelling fans when he went to take a throw-in - but the boo-boys were soon drowned up by the home faithful showing the England defender their full support. After a drop in tempo, Chelsea slowly started to find their rhythm again. Gabriel Tamas fouled Drogba, giving Chelsea another chance to deliver a ball into the West Brom box. Lampard struck his 20-yard shot well and Carson parried, but this time Malouda could not keep his follow-up on target as he sent a looping header over. They made it 2-0 just before the break when Youssouf Mulumbu tripped Michael Essien and this time Drogba smashed his free-kick through the wall and into the bottom corner. The conditions improved for the second half, allowing both teams to pass the ball quickly. After 53 minutes, Scotland midfielder Dorrans chipped a free-kick over the wall, but the ball dropped onto the top of the net. Chelsea then moved 3-0 ahead when Drogba bundled in his second. John Terry flicked Malouda's inswinging corner goalwards and Mulumbu hacked it off the line, but the ball was not cleared and Drogba, who won the Golden Boot with 29 goals last season, was alert to smash it in from close range. Lampard walked in a fourth after 63 minutes after a clever exchange between Nicolas Anelka and Cole down the left. The England midfielder, who had been carrying a slight ankle problem, was then replaced by Yossi Benayoun, as the Israeli made is debut following a summer move from Liverpool - who were described as a "small club somewhere north of the M25" by Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck in his programme notes, hitting back at comments by Joe Cole following his free transfer summer move to Anfield. Drogba completed his hat-trick with a 20-yard effort which cannoned off Tamas and flew into the bottom corner past a wrong-footed Carson. The Ivory Coast striker was then given a well-deserved break when he was replaced by countryman Salomon Kalou. Malouda whipped a 20-yard free-kick over the wall and bar, while Alex flicked a rising shot from Chris Brunt over the bar to deny the visitors a late consolation. And Malouda rounded off a fine performance from the hosts after converting Anelka`s pass to make it 6-0.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a form of cancer affecting the lining of the stomach (the peritoneum). It is caused by the ingestion of asbestos fibers.
What is Peritoneal Mesothelioma?
How Is Peritoneal Mesothelioma Treated?
Cytoreductive Surgery
This is the only surgical option available to those with a peritoneal diagnosis. Luckily, this surgery has high success rates and is also used to treat other abdominal malignancies.
This is the most common treatment method used for peritoneal mesothelioma. It is sometimes administered directly to the abdomen during surgery.
This is typically the least invasive treatment option for peritoneal patients. Radiation may be delivered during surgery as well.

- Tissue Lumps in the Abdomen
- Anemia
- Seizures
- Bowel Problems
In most cases, peritoneal mesothelioma does not spread to the lungs. It has been shown to spread to the other abdominal areas, such as ovaries, liver, or intestines. This metastasis often causes it to become discovered and sometimes misdiagnosed. Symptoms of stomach pains or ascites sometimes results in a misdiagnosis of hernias or a simple stomachache.
Peritoneal mesothelioma does not usually spread to the lymphatic system (lymph nodes) or blood stream. It usually metastasizes in large masses in the same areas where it originated.
How Does Peritoneal Mesothelioma Develop?
1Asbestos fibers are ingested and lodge into the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum).
2The body attempts to filter and remove these fibers, but sometimes the fibers attach to the peritoneum.
3Scar tissue builds up as a response to the body's fight against the irritation of the fibers and can result in genetic cell damage. This can cause unchecked cell division and the formation of a malignant tumor.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Doctors may also use a technique called peritoneoscopy. During this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision on the patient's abdomen and uses a small camera to explore the abdomen. There is also a tool on the camera that helps to extract tissue on the peritoneum to test for mesothelioma.
Generally, in stage 1, the mesothelioma is centralized in the abdomen and is more than likely able to be entirely removed. As it progresses to stage 2, the mesothelioma may spread more but is still contained in the peritoneum. In the third stage, it begins to metastasize to other organs, such as the liver and colon. In the final stage, stage 4, the mesothelioma has spread to other organs.

Even though throughout the years since I came to the U.S. 20 years ago I have seen it happening with less frequency, the use by Mexicans of the expression ¿Mande? (Command me) has always struck me. I personally see it as a symbolic legacy of submission probably originating from the times of the Spanish conquistadores. What's interesting to me is that I've heard this expression coming more often from the so-called pochos than from Mexican immigrants. Che Argentina
Dear Readers: Out of all the folk etymologies that plague Mexican Spanish — like people thinking gringo comes from Mexicans making fun of the green coats of invading gabachos — none is more laughable than insisting the Mexican propensity to use ¿Mande? ("Excuse me?") is a reflection on the perpetual Mexican inferiority complex. Yes, ¿Mande? is a legacy of colonialism — Cortés used the term in his letters — but so what? So is the word tortilla. All Latin American cultures keep parts of the Conquest alive in their regional Spanish, but there is no historical evidence that conquistadors in Mexico demanded that their Indian or mestizo servants use the formal ¿Mande? instead of the informal ¿Que? or ¿Cómo? or ¿Perdón? (words that Mexicans also use, by the way). You want real linguistic subservience? Try su merced (your mercy), which South Americans use in favor of ustedes. Now that's a wuss culture there.
My parents are immigrants from Mexico and came here and had me and my brother and sister. Of course, they've both retained some rituals that aren't very necessary and would no doubt seem odd to the average American observer. One is this habit of placing a large stone or a log behind one of the rear wheels. I've assumed it's so the car won't roll away because of gravity, but I know this isn't necessary when in park. Or maybe it's to ward off grand theft auto? Are automobiles in Mexico just not largely reliable or is it just a symbolic action to prevent theft? Rocky Llantas
Dear Peñascoso Tires: Are you kidding me? Putting a log or rock behind a tire is the Mexican version of LoJack. The smart Mexican gets a rock or log craggy or pointy enough so that anyone who tries to make off with their car will immediately puncture the tire or wreck the rim. After that, all you have to do is follow the skid marks to wherever the thieves left the car off. Simple, ingenious, and cheap: the Mexican way.

The Most Expensive Cars Auctioned Off in 2012
No. 1 costliest car: 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster
Winning bid: $11.8 million
This ultra-rare Mercedes survived Nazi Germany and World War II, then sat in a U.S. garage for decades until its reclusive owner died in 1989.
One of the best examples of roughly 15 Mercedes Special Roadsters that still exist, the car belonged originally to Henning and Gisela von Krieger -- brother and sister Prussian aristocrats who left Germany to escape the Third Reich.The von Kriegers managed to ship the car to neutral Switzerland in 1942, then brought it to New York aboard the Queen Elizabeth when they moved to America after the war. Gisela von Krieger, who outlived her brother, left the car in upscale Greenwich, Conn., after she returned to Switzerland. Her old maps, silk gloves and lipstick-stained cigarette butts remained in the vehicle for decades. The car has an extremely rare chassis and excellent custom-body construction, says Gooding & Co.'s Brynan, whose firm oversaw the vehicle's auction. Now fully restored, the Special Roadster set records this summer for the highest winning bid ever for a Mercedes and any pre-World War II car. Brynan says a U.S. collector paid top dollar for the vehicle because the car offered a combination of rarity, desirability, good looks and well-documented restoration work. "This vehicle has pretty much everything you'd look for in a collectible car," Brynan says. "Mercedes is known among collectors as the best pre-war
