jones_supa writes: Nintendo has announced that it will end distribution of its consoles and games in Brazil. In a statement, Nintendo attributed the move to high import duties, which makes doing feasible business difficult. The company could avoid those duties with a local manufacturing operation, but has chosen not to establish one, presumably for the costs involved. In a statement e-mailed to Polygon, Nintendo of America said that the company's distributor for Latin America would no longer send products to Brazil, but it would continue to distribute Nintendo goods to other parts of South America. Nintendo will also keep monitoring the evolution of the business environment in Brazil and evaluate how to best serve Brazilian customers in the future.

redletterdave (2493036) writes Nintendo posted its third loss in four quarters on Wednesday. Even though Mario Kart 8, its big first-party game released in May, shipped more than 2.82 million copies by the end of June, the Mario-themed racing game was not enough to help Nintendo's struggling Wii U console perform in this particular quarter. The company said it lost $97 million between March and June. Nintendo shipped 510,000 units of the Wii U in the June quarter, bringing the total to 6.68 million consoles sold — it's a big jump from the 160,000 units it sold in the same quarter a year ago and a small improvement over the 310,000 units it sold in the March quarter. Still, the Wii U is still lagging behind the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, and Nintendo must also contend with mobile games available on Apple and Google's app stores, which cost but a fraction of a Nintendo game.

An anonymous reader writes "For the first time in eight years, Sony has overtaken Nintendo on the total number of game consoles sold. Sony sold 18.7 million consoles in the last financial year, compared to Nintendo sales of 16.3 million. Sony's PlayStation 4 has emerged as the bestselling 'new-gen' console. But demand for Nintendo's Wii U — with its touchscreen controller — has lagged far behind the original Wii, which was the most popular hardware of the last generation."

Today marked the launch of Watch Dogs, a highly-anticipated action-adventure game from Ubisoft. Early reviews for the game are fairly good, but not without complaints. Eurogamer said, 'Combat encounters also draw inspiration from existing games, with slightly stiff but workable sneaking and cover mechanics and decent if unremarkable gunplay. ... There's a sense of sterility beneath the surface, though. As dazzling as the game can look, this Chicago feels like a place you travel through rather than a world you inhabit. Pedestrians gasp and gawp at car crashes, but exhibit no real life.' Polygon's review complimented the bits of structure within the open-world game: "More than any stealth game I can think of, Watch Dogs does a remarkable job in allowing for proper preparation. It creates a universal environment of constant puzzle solving, which sits cozily next to all the action on display." Rock, Paper, Shotgun added, "It feels churlish to complain about something which is only magical 90% of the time, but in some things, ten percent can seep out and render the rest infuriating and useless." It's worth noting that some users are running into problems even playing game, thanks to authentication issues with Ubisoft's UPlay digital distribution service.

An anonymous reader writes "For over a decade, GameSpy has provided and hosted multiplayer services for a variety of video games. GameSpy was purchased in 2012, and there were some worrying shutdowns of older servers, which disabled multiplayer capabilities for a number of games. Now, the whole service is going offline on May 31. Some publishers are scrambling to move to other platforms, while others are simply giving up on those games. Nintendo's recent abandonment of Wi-Fi games was a result of their reliance on GameSpy's servers. Bohemia Interactive, developers of the Arma series, said the GameSpy closure will affect matchmaking and CD-key authentication."

Nerval's Lobster writes: "It's no secret that Nintendo faces significant challenges: revenues are down, rival platforms such as Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4 are attracting a lot of buzz, and iOS and Android have made significant inroads into mobile gaming. Rather than double down on its core business, however, Nintendo reportedly sees its salvation in new, nongaming segments such as... monitoring your health? 'We have now redefined entertainment to mean making it fun for people to improve the quality of their lives,' Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata told a company strategy meeting, according to The Wall Street Journal. But he refused to part with more detail about Nintendo's plans, except to claim that whatever's in the works isn't a wearable device along the lines of Nike's FuelBand or the FitBit, and it isn't an iteration of the Wii Balance Board, an accessory that measures the user's weight and center of balance while playing games."

Nerval's Lobster writes "Nintendo's revenue and profits are tumbling faster than Mario into a bottomless pit. Company executives recently suggested the next-generation Wii U console would sell 2.8 million units between April 2013 and March 2014 — significantly below the 9 million units predicted in previous estimates. Contrast that with Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One, which sold 4.2 million and 3 million units, respectively, in their first six weeks of release. In lowering its hardware and software estimates, Nintendo also expects to take a loss by the end of its fiscal year in March. Nintendo's attempt to carve a niche for itself as an ecosystem for casual gamers has also run into a massive obstacle in the form of smartphones and tablets, which quickly developed into popular gaming platforms. Nintendo is reportedly considering a 'new business model,' according to Bloomberg, with its CEO telling a gathering of reporters in Osaka: 'Given the expansion of smart devices, we are naturally studying how smart devices can be used to grow the game-player business. It's not as simple as enabling Mario to move on a smartphone.' While Nintendo could probably made some good money off legacy gamers by bringing its (much loved) portfolio of older titles to iOS, Android, and other platforms, that move to mobile might further weaken its hardware sales. So what do you think? If you were in charge of Nintendo, how would you turn it around?"

Sockatume writes "Digital Foundry has published an article from an anonymous but trusted developer outlining the challenges of developing for the Nintendo Wii U. The piece confirms some common perceptions of Nintendo, such as their attitude to third party developers, and presents a few surprises, like networking code not being made available to outside developers until the console was almost on sale."

the simurgh sends this news from Gamespot: "Nintendo has acquired the entire patent portfolio of now-defunct IA Labs following its victory in court, the Japanese gaming giant has announced. Nintendo obtained the patents during a sheriff's sale in Montgomery County, Maryland on Tuesday. IA Labs originally sued Nintendo for patent infringement in 2010, claiming the Mario maker's Wii controller and Wii Fit technology infringed on two separate IA Labs patents. Nintendo successfully defended itself as part of a court battle in 2012, also winning various fees related to the case. IA Labs appealed the ruling, but an appellate court sided with Nintendo in June 2013. At this point, IA Labs was ordered to pay Nintendo additional fees, and when the company failed to do so, a sheriff's sale was commenced."

hypnosec writes "China has lifted the 13-year-old foreign gaming console ban, which it imposed back in 2000 as a way to protect the nation's youth from unhealthy content that may adversely affect their mental health. The temporary lift of the ban, which was announced Monday by the State Council of PCR (Google Translation into English), will make way for international console vendors including Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo to setup production facilities in the newly created Shanghai Free Trade Zone and sell their consoles throughout the country. The vendors will still have to go through local checks, including the ones from the Cultural authorities to ensure that they don't violate any of those rules."

Nerval's Lobster writes "Will Xbox One and PS4 emulators hit your favorite download Websites within the next few years? Emulators have long been popular among gamers looking to relive the classic titles they enjoyed in their youth. Instead of playing Super Mario Bros. on a Nintendo console, one can go through the legally questionable yet widespread route of downloading a copy of the game and loading it with PC software that emulates the Nintendo Entertainment System. Emulation is typically limited to older games, as developing an emulator is hard work and must usually be run on hardware that's more powerful than the original console. Consoles from the NES and Super NES era have working emulators, as do newer systems such as Nintendo 64, GameCube and Wii, and the first two PlayStations. While emulator development hit a dead end with the Xbox 360 and PS3, that may change with the Xbox One and PS4, which developers are already exploring as fertile ground for emulation. The Xbox 360 and PS4 feature x86 chips, for starters, and hardware-assisted virtualization can help solve some acceleration issues. But several significant obstacles stand in the way of developers already taking a crack at it, including console builders' absolute refusal to see emulation as even remotely legal."

Zothecula writes "Nintendo recently announced that it was ceasing all production of its original Wii video game console. It seemed as if it had run its course, and Nintendo was shifting 100 percent of its focus to the floundering Wii U. Turns out, the Japanese company had other plans, announcing that its previously Canada-exclusive $99 Wii Mini is making its way to the U.S. 'The $99 price has been neglected in this product generation, but in the past, it has been a very successful price for game consoles. More than half of the volume of machines in the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 generations sold at the $99 or under price."

Nerval's Lobster writes "Jon Brodkin talked to indie developers (including the creator of Super Mario Bros. Crossover), former Nintendo employees, and a number of others about where exactly Nintendo went wrong over the past few years. Their conclusions? Nintendo made a number of mistakes, including a lack of an indie-developer ecosystem, a refusal to license out core properties such as Super Mario to other gaming platforms (or even iOS and Android), and platforms that don't appeal to hardcore gamers. While the developers suggest Nintendo is taking steps to broaden its horizons, such as by reaching out to smaller studios, it's questionable whether such efforts will succeed in a world where the PS4 and Xbox One are about to enter the market, and iOS and Android are swallowing up mobile gamers' time and dollars. What do you think?"

jfruh writes "When Sony announced the PS Vita TV yesterday, most observers saw it as competition for the Apple TV and Roku, or maybe the Ouya. But gaming writer Peter Smith views it differently; he thinks that remote play, including the ability to stream games from the upcoming PlayStation 4 console, will be the Vita TV's killer-app. In that sense, it isn't so much a low-cost replacement for casual gamers as an add-on to the high-end PS4. '[W]hen you're in the middle of a game and someone wants to watch TV, you can just grab a Vita and keep on playing. (This is similar to the popular "tablet play" feature of Nintendo's Wii U, without the Wii U's limitation of having to stay in close proximity to the base console.) ... For any Playstation 4 household with more than one TV I think the PS Vita TV will become a 'must-have' accessory; it's almost like getting a second PS4 for $100.'"

rescendent writes with news that the Wii U still isn't selling very well. From the article: "Nintendo's Wii U console sold only 160,000 units worldwide during the past three months, with the company blaming a lack of first-party releases for the poor performance. Software sales for the system were just 1.3 million units. During the period Nintendo sold 90,000 Wii U consoles in Japan, 60,000 in the US and only 10,000 in Europe and Australia." El Reg reports that the Wii sold 210,000 units in the same quarter. On the bright side, Nintendo is once again profitable.

An anonymous reader writes "While the Wii U struggles, Nintendo's been raiding the archives and resurrecting some of its lesser known stars from yesteryear, including Chibi Robo, Steel Diver, and yes, Mario's oft-ignored brother himself — the company is going so far as to call 2013 the "year of Luigi". But as an article published today points out, there are still many more forgotten heroes in Nintendo's IP back catalogue. Series like Excitebike, Waveracer and 1080 used to be trusted to launch a new console, while NES classics like Ice Climber have all but been forgotten, alongside some of GameFreal's lesser known creations. Will they be enough to save Nintendo this generation?"

Nintendo says, "With Wii Street U powered by Google, you can step into Google Street View with an immersive experience that feels like you're actually there! View a 360-degree Google Maps Street View of locations all over the world using the Wii U GamePad motion controls. Use the GamePad touch screen to type in an address or location and explore, or instantly travel to over 70 fascinating, hand-picked locations around the globe." It all looks lovely, but can't we do most of this with Android phones? And couldn't a smart developer make the Google Street View Android phone experience even more immersive, so we wouldn't all need to buy a Wii U? Nintendo, we love you, but the Wii U still looks pretty dead unless it gets some major rethinking, and this Street View app doesn't seem to be it.

An anonymous reader writes "Now that both Sony and Microsoft have announced their next-gen consoles, and we've gotten solid information about their hardware, technology, and features, Eurogamer asks whether Nintendo's struggling Wii U will be able to hold its own once the new competition arrives. 'Wii U has tanked — there's no other way to put it — with even the release of traditional big-hitters like Dragon Quest 10 failing to make a dent in the Japanese market. If you believe certain analysts, April saw things getting even worse in the U.S. with the Wii U shifting under 40,000 units, easily outsold by the 360 and PS3 — and, even more embarrassingly, the Wii.' If the Wii U doesn't see a miraculous turnaround, Nintendo may be left with the difficult choice of whether to port its software to competing consoles. It'll also serve as a bellwether to see if the big gamer complaint about the new Sony and Microsoft consoles — that they're only partly about games — is honest. 'At a time when the goal of its competitors is to own the living room, the extent of Nintendo's ambition is simply to be in it — a dedicated games console, and no more.'"

A biomimicry research group at Imperial College, London, has turned to the ovipositor of S. noctilio as inspiration for design of a long, flexible probe to access tumors in deep internal brain areas, potentially in order to perform multiple medical treatments such as biopsies, placing electrodes or other instruments, delivering drugs or carrying out microsurgeries. The wasp ovipositor has a unique solution for penetrating materials without rotation, using a zipper-like mechanism where the two parallel halves create tension against each other to pull each other through the substrate; the stability of this system allows the apparatus to be virtually unlimited in length (Henneman 2013; Imperial college London 2013).

At Michigan Yakkers Farm, all of our animals are raised with the utmost care. They are all offered 'treats' out of our hands. Most are named, and every animal is handled and given affection. We believe that every animal should be treated with kindness and thoughtfulness, regardless of their status as a meat animal or breeder. None of our animals are given hormones. Most of the animals are forage-fed, with 'treats' of grain only given in small amounts. Any grain that is given is medication/antibiotic-free.
We are now accepting pre-orders for the following products:
Tibetan Yak- Can be purchased in specific cuts, half or whole. Check out our webpage for information about yak meat. Email for pricing/pre-order. Deposit will vary, depending on amount of meat ordered.
Whole chickens- These birds are tender and plump! As with all of our animals, the chickens are hormone-free and antibiotic-free. They are given plenty of space, fresh air and sunshine. Healthy, happy birds provide a healthy, flavorful meal to your family. $2.50/lb, average weights of 6-9 lbs. Email to pre-order.
Heritage Turkeys- We raise two Heritage breeds: Bourbon Reds and Narragansetts. We are members of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, and try to do our part to support rare and Heritage breeds. We've really enjoyed these two breeds, and the meat will be amazing! $6/lb, average weights should be between 16-22 lbs. Email to pre-order. Deposit of $35.00 will be required for turkeys.
Cayuga ducks- This is a Heritage breed of duck from the Cayuga Lake region. They are beautiful ducks, with black plumage that shimmers a brilliant green in the sunlight. Their meat is amazing! The only other duck meat that I have enjoyed almost as much as Cayuga is Mallard. The other breeds that I've tasted are boring in comparison. $9/lb, average weight is about 3 lbs.
We also have breeding stock available. If you would like to learn more about our farm, you can find us on FB or check out our webpage.
Tibetan Yak, Cayuga Duck, Narragansett and Bourbon Red Turkey, naturally raised chicken, breeding stock

The top ten coolest science stories of the last month are featured.
Creation cannot explain away its creator, it merely tells part of the story of him. The danger comes when we only need God for what we don't know, and, conversely, we don't need him in what we do know.
This week's Saturday Science Links is focused on discoveries in the field of astronomy, written by BioLogos president (and MIT-trained astrophysicist) Deb Haarsma.
Divine Hiddenness is the claim that our public evidence is strong enough to make Christian faith reasonable, but not strong enough to make it compelling.
We need safe places in which to raise the complex issues of submitting wholeheartedly to the authority of God's Word in the Scriptures while wrestling with the important findings and perspectives in the natural sciences.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
I began to imagine God taking delight in watching the universe slowly unfold and grow, much like my wife and I delight in the slow transformation of seeds into a bountiful harvest.
If I studied science, allowed my intellect to thrive, and continued the pursuit of understanding how things work, I was convinced that I would be condemning my soul and forsaking my faith.
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
In this week's edition, learn about amphibious dinosaurs, frozen bison mummies, and hummingbird combat.
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.

One of the most studied example of symbiotic interaction is related to aphids and their symbiont Buchnera aphidicola that they host in specialized cells called bacteriocytes. Each aphid may host about 6 millions of Buchnera cells that are involved in the continuous overproduction of tryptophan and other amino acids. In addition to obligate symbionts, exemplified […]...

by neurosci in Neuroscientifically Challenged
Throughout the 1970s, biochemist Stanley Prusiner was obsessed with trying to find the causative agent for a mysterious group of diseases. The diseases, which included kuru and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in humans and scrapie in sheep, were characterized by slowly-developing symptoms and neurodegeneration so severe it eventually caused the brain to take on the appearance of a sponge (due to myriad little holes that developed where grey matter was lost). By the time Prusiner began studying these........ Read more »

The articles I've looked at so far in this series (Becker, in part 1, and Keel and Klump in part 2) give us some insight into the idea that the link between "Western" societies and eating disorders is more complex than a simple matter of media exposure. But, having read these studies, I was still left a bit wanting in terms of unpacking that black box of "culture" that gets tossed around in scholarly and popular literature. What, exactly, are we talking about when w........ Read more »

To control one's dreams and to live out there what is impossible in real life — a truly tempting idea. Some people — so-called lucid dreamers — can do this.

jordan III full corner bed - excellent
By Kim B
from Camp Hill, PA
This bed was for my granddaughter. she absolutely loves it. It was really nice that it comes in several colors so that she could pick her favorite color. Comfortable. Great bed for a kid or early teen.

Love the look of this bed. The slats seem sturdy, but due to the inches between each set, if someone with any real weight were to sleep on the bed, I think it would be best to have some sort of platform under the mattress.

Love this bed
By Mom of 3
from Midlothian, VA
Purchased two of these beds for my daughters (the pink and the purple). We are very pleased with the quality. No box spring needed so that saved us money. I purchased it during a sale and only spend $249.00. I paid the extra money to have the delivery men put it together. Definitely worth the money.

Since 2007, the Newport Antiques Show has culled some of the most elegant and important Americana antiques for its massive annual shows. Show manager Diana H. Bittel, a distinguished antiques dealer in her own right, carefully selects the dealers to be featured, eventually inviting a lucky 40 to showcase their wares. With paintings, furniture, folk art, jewelry, and other one-of-a-kind pieces, antiques aficionados are sure to find an item that complements their home decor, appeals to their sense of history, or gives them a convenient shortcut to Narnia. The show also gives back by benefiting the Newport Historical Society and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County.
UPS Stores collect packages for timely deliveries across town and around the globe, as well as streamline mail retrieval, photocopying, and other daily tasks. Prudent parcel packagers will safely stow shippables and help you choose an appropriate mailing solution, guaranteeing your item's safe arrival and standing ovation after the opening-night reception. For clerical tasks, visit a store and make 65 8"x11" color copies, or print off 315 black-and-white fliers to solicit a new flugelhorn player for your California Raisins cover band ($25). UPS also offers mailbox rentals with 24-hour access if your home mailbox is infested with bitter, obsolete fax machines ($29 for a three-month rental).
Passionate staffers at Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County draw on their extensive experience in childcare and youth development to provide a stimulating and enlightening environment for kids ages 5–18. The team helps youngsters develop self-confidence and critical thinking skills during a number of age-appropriate educational, athletic, and arts-related programs at four clubhouse facilities, which collectively boast pools for aquatic activities and recreational centers equipped with game rooms and a rock-climbing wall. They'll inspire burgeoning computer programmers in Lego Robotics and equip teens with the tools and flawless California accents to write, record, and edit their own film in the SHOOT program.
The harbor front in downtown Newport transforms into a kaleidoscopic canvas on which contributions from regional and national artists converge with the sounds of live bluegrass and jazz. Pairs can meander through a marketplace gallery of glassworks, mixed media, and ceramics that represent the greatest confluence of refinement and functionality since the jewel-studded Swiss Army knife. Bare necks and wrists become portable museum exhibits with wearable art from some of the festival's homemade jewelry vendors. As guests continue their circuitous journey through the Newport Yachting Center, the live sounds of saxophones, steel guitars, and bongo-playing seagulls waft from the stage in an auditory complement to the vibrant paintings photographs lining shops' walls.
Norman Bird Sanctuary spans more than 300 acres and seven miles of hiking trails where binoculared bird lovers can spy on local and migratory birds. Hikers can explore the woods or climb Hanging Rock to feast on views of the ocean. In addition, the Sanctuary organizes public programs such as hands-on educational events for children and evening lectures for adults.
At Newport Equestrian, the mother-daughter team of Suzanne Hourihan and Kamala Duffy handle all instruction duties, helping beginners and experienced riders alike to improve their skills. The instructors root their approach in the principles of sound equitation—a focus that Suzanne inherited while training under Irish Olympic rider Nole McGee as a child. Kamala, a USEF hunter/jumper competitor, carries on her mother's passion as she coaches riders of all stripes, from casual pleasure and trail riders to show jumpers intent on winning a gold medal before some cool new Flash game makes the Olympics obsolete. During private and semi-private lessons on flatwork courses, Kamala teases out riders' potential while treating them with respect and encouraging them to overcome the improvement plateaus they'll inevitably reach.

Property in north Lafayette preserved for green space
LAFAYETTE, LA (KADN) — The Nature Station staff and a host of supporters joined together today for a ribbon cutting ceremony on the Nature Station's new trail system. Councilman Kenneth Boudreaux calls this project volunteerism at it's highest. Having people from all areas work together to have this property in north Lafayette and be able to preserve it for green space, as well as a learning tool for local students. He also feels this will help attract people to the area.
"As people discover this trail and start to participate on it, now when they're going to need a bottle of water or a gatorade some of our local vendors and businesses are going to benefit from that so it's going to also enhance this area economically," says Kenneth Boudreaux, Lafayette Consolidated Government Councilman.
The new trail system is not accessible from the existing nature station trail system and environmental education facility, but officials hope to have a bridge built one day. For now, the only way to access this new trail system is off of Shadow Bluff Drive.

SJP Spends a Smiley Morning With James Wilkie and the Twins
Sarah Jessica Parker was bundled up to battle the cold while taking her kids to school in NYC yesterday. She wore a down coat and cozy knit hat as she walked with twins Tabitha and Loretta Broderick and made a separate trip with 10-year-old James Wilkie, who rode alongside her on his scooter. The girls shared sweet moments with their mom, kissing her and laughing as they made their way down the street. SJP is back to her regular routine on the East Coast after a trip to Oslo, Norway, earlier this week. Sarah Jessica and Gerard Butler cohosted the Nobel Peace Prize Concert, which was the last of the year's Nobel festivities and brought out stars like Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue, and Seal.

Crape myrtles are on sale. Can I plant them now, or should I wait until spring? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Trees and shrubs are best planted in the fall. You can plant them now, but be sure to water them in Sept and Oct if we don't get adequate rain. Once November arrives, nature should take care of the job. |
Here's a link to a planting guide that may be of some help. Please email me with any questions or if you see anything about the instructions that could be improved. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Planting a Tree or Shrub

Brandon, thanks for linking to a page that states to fill the hole with native soil. I have been working with a professional tree outfit, and they are also beginning to utilize this strategy when in the past, they have not, necessarily. It is important to choose the site carefully, the right tree for the right spot - instead of trying to force the wrong spot on that poor tree! |
- Posted by satellitehead z7 ATL Metro (My Page) on Sun, Sep 13, 09 at 22:04
Honestly, I don't think Crepe Myrtles care. They're weeds in our climate. That is, like a Holly, it is almost impossible to kill one once you put it in the ground, and you can prune them to the ground after 2-3 months and they'll grow back from the base. |

POSTED: Monday, November 29, 2010 - 2:25pm
UPDATED: Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 1:43pm
HOLDEN, La -- On the afternoon of November 24, 2010, a Holden man was arrested for more than 100 counts of Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile. These charges stem from events that occurred several years ago when the victim was a juvenile.
Franklin Dale Church, a 44 year old white male who listed his address as 22614 Charles Holden Road, Holden, La., was charged as follows:
>101 Counts of Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile
>1 Count of Pornography Involving a Juvenile
The child pornography arrest is the result of a separate investigation jointly conducted by the Livingston Police Department and Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office. That investigation began when Church was arrested for Computer Aided Solicitation of a Juvenile on November 1, 2010. During that arrest, Detectives seized a laptop computer containing an image of what appeared to be a juvenile female. They were eventually able to positively identify the child in that image and confirm her as being under the age of 17.
Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000.00 and up to 7 years in prison (for each count). Possession of Child Porn is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000.00 and up to 10 years in prison.
As of November 29, 2010, Church remains in the Livingston Parish Detention Center in lieu of a $2,625,000.00 bond. This is an ongoing investigation and other charges are possible.

Arctic sea ice extent for the month of March was the second lowest in the satellite record. Ice cover at winter maximum continues to be dominated by young, thin ice.
As the sun sinks below the horizon at the South Pole, NOAA researchers stationed at the bottom of the world settle in for six months of darkness. Throughout the Antarctic winter, the researchers will collect air samples to help maintain long-term records of trace gases, aerosols, and solar radiation.
Improved computer models help scientists understand Earth's ocean.
The Sun is the main source of power for the Earth's climate machine. Space-based measurements, begun in 1978, indicate Earth receives an average of 1,361 W/m2 of incoming sunlight, and the amount varies by about one-tenth of a percent over the course of the 11-year solar cycle.
This is the first of nine lessons in the "Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change" website. This lesson is an introduction to Earth's climate and covers key principles regarding Earth's unique climate, atmosphere, and regional and temporal climate differences.
This is an animated interactive simulation that illustrates differential solar heating on a surface in full sunlight versus in the shade.
In this activity students learn how Earth's energy balance is regulating climate. This activity is lesson 4 in the nine-lesson module Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change.
This video describes what black carbon is, where is comes from, and how it contributes to sea ice melt and global warming.
This three-part, hands-on investigation explores how sunlight's angle of incidence at Earth's surface impacts the amount of solar radiation received in a given area. The activity is supported by PowerPoint slides and background information.

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: The Law Firm Of Wohl & Fruchter Reminds ALC Investors With Losses Of Deadline To Seek Lead Plaintiff Position
On August 29, 2012, Wohl & Fruchter filed a class action against Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (NYSE: ALC) and its former Chief Executive Officer charging defendants with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and seeking damages on behalf of investors who purchased ALC Class A common stock between March 12, 2011 and August 6, 2012 (the Class Period).
The Firm wishes to remind shareholders who purchased ALC shares during the Class Period and suffered losses, and who may wish to serve as a lead plaintiff, that you have until October 29, 2012 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff by the Court. To discuss the case or learn more about becoming a lead plaintiff, please contact J. Elazar Fruchter at email@example.com, or call us toll free at 866.582.8140. A copy of the complaint filed by Wohl & Fruchter can be obtained at: http://www.wohlfruchter.com/cases/alc.
The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements, and omitted material information concerning ALC's compliance with its obligations under a lease covering eight assisted living facilities operated by ALC. Under the terms of the lease, ALC was obligated to maintain specified occupancy rates and insure all regulatory licenses remained in good standing. In its quarterly and annual SEC filings, ALC confirmed its compliance with these obligations.
Undisclosed to investors, however, there is substantial evidence that during the Class Period, ALC failed to maintain the specified occupancy rates and concealed this fact by treating units leased to employees as bona fide rentals. Also undisclosed to investors until revealed in a lawsuit filed by the landlord, state regulators in Georgia and Alabama served notices in February and March 2012 of their intent to revoke licenses for three of the facilities, further violating the lease.
In early May 2012, the audit committee of ALC's board of directors launched an investigation after receiving an internal whistleblower complaint concerning "possible irregularities in connection with" the lease, and on June 21, 2012, ALC settled with the landlord, causing ALC to incur a net loss of $19.5 million for the first six months of 2012 – an amount close to ALC's entire net income in 2011.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

With the largest part of the Affordable Care Act now in effect, the thing we need most is a cartoon explaining the complexities in a harmlessly funny way.

I've had this plant since it was a seedling in 1972. She fell over from her own weight and has sent roots down to anchor her in this position, How can I propigate her? Her 24" by 18" leaves are too big for me to attempt leaf cuttings. Please tell me. |

Dixie...I've never heard of Staghorn Philodendron. Do you have a photo? Perhaps your plant is Staghorn Fern? Without an ID, it's impossible giving propagation instructions. Toni |
- Posted by summersunshine 5b (My Page) on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 14:38
Yes, sometimes common names are confusing since different people call the same plant different things. Are you possibly referring to a Philodendron bipinnatifidum? (Link goes to a page with photos to help confirm this). Alternately, I'm wondering if you might be referring to the plant known as Monstera deliciosa AKA "Swiss cheese plant". That plant is often called a "philodendron" even though it's really a monstera. :) It can be very large and can form aerial roots, which is why I am wondering GENERALLY speaking, if a branch has produced new roots, then you probably could cut that branch and put it in its own pot, but it would be easier to say for sure if we knew what species this is. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Page about P. bipinnatifidum with photos!
This post was edited by summersunshine on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 14:42
Take a cutting that includes a healthy leaf at the top and at least 1 node below that cutting - 2 below would be better. Remove any leaves from the bottom node(s) by cutting through the leaf's petiole a couple of inches away from the main stem. Remove 1/2 - 3/4 of the leaf by cutting across venation and stick the cutting - use a well-aerated soil that you can keep moist w/o having to worry about over-watering. Within a short time, the cutting will root and a new branch/stem/leader will appear in the axil of the trimmed leaf. You want to do this when the plant's energy reserves are high - not now, when they are at the lowest level of the growth cycle. June or early July offers the fastest and highest certainty of success. You could start an air layer now, so roots will already be formed when you take the cutting. Al |
A photo would really help. If this is a Meconostigma type of Philodendron, a Tree type, (Which is what P. bipinnatifidum is) you probably cannot propagate a new plant from a stem cutting. Usually only a rooted pup will start a new plant. If there are aerial roots growing from the stem high enough up you can try air layering by wrapping damp sphagnum moss around the stem at the base of the air roots and then wrapping plastic wrap over that, keep it damp, not too wet,all the time and when you see new white roots growing in the moss you can cut the stem below the wrap and plant it up. Might work, might not Leaf cutting won't work with these plants. If it is a vine type of philodendron, a Monstera or Rhaphidophora, both of which are commonly misidentified as philodendrons, then you can easily take cuttings from the stem. Or you can get a couple of lengths of bamboo and prop it up by tying it to the bamboo. |

More details: Plant ID: philodendron bipinnatifidum example photos at http://www.therainforestgarden.com/2010/03/plant-profile-split-leaf-philodendron.html Plant heigth = 80 inches (incl. pot) and width = 90 inches. SINGLE STEM. Comment: "Cut leaf" is not accurate description, leaf is lobed (like an American Oak) with a ripple all along the edges. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Raidforest Garden Plant Profile
so, yours matches P.bipinnatifidum? can you post the pic of your plant? the whole plant and also trunk with may be aerial roots, if any? |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Sat, Mar 1, 14 at 7:49
If it is Philodendron bipinnatifidum you can't simply take a cutting, it will just die. Dellis is correct. The only way it will work is if what you take off already has a developed root system. They're different to most other Philodendrons. |

Are champions going to be balanced for dominion? When I think of the twisted treeline i think of mundo and trynd, and hope that the same thing (diff champs of course) doesnt happen to dominion. I read on one of the articles that heimer turrets will be changed, is this a sign that champs will be altered only for dominion (as in seperate balance for the maps)? Just curious about how balance will work out
A Heimerdinger turret rework has been on the table for a while, though.
I hope so. It's impossible to use one set of buffs/nerfs for multiple maps and not break the game.
Senior Member
It may end up being a very TT-like situation where some champs, like the ones you named, typically dominate more. But I guess we won't know until we play it. :P (then again the same can be said for 5 v 5... lol)

Gear Review
Poor zipper design
Dispite what they may say about this bag being able to handle a board up to 171cm, it's not true. It is long enough all right but the zippers do not reach those limits. Unlike most board bags the zipper on this one come 5 to 6 inches short on both ends. Look closely at the picture and you'll see what I mean. I couldn't squeeze my Ride Machette 166 in it. Why they disigned it this way is beyond me. I had to return it because of this. The Burton or North face are both a better design.
If you have a really short board this would be a good bag. Heavy duty material ready for travel.

World Solar Challenge To Start In Less Than Two Weeks
What's changed in two and a half decades? (26 comments)
I haven't followed this race in a very long time though, I do remember GM's Sunraycer back in 1987. My question is: what has changed in the past twenty-six years? From a quick look on Wikipedia I see that the average speeds are higher but nothing like double what they were back when I was a kid. Is it safe to assume that the improvements made have been largely incremental? Are we talking about an ever so slightly more refined design every two years, better solar tech, better drag calculations? Please don't think I'm flaming. I all challenges like this one. I'm simply interested in what kind of progress has been made.

Captain Linnaeus Tripe
Photographer of India and Burma, 1854 – 1860
Roger Taylor and Crispin Branfoot
Captain Linnaeus Tripe (1822–1902) occupies a special place in the history of nineteenth-century British photography, not just for his memorable name but for the outstanding body of work he produced in India and Burma between 1854 and 1862 while an officer in the army of the East India Company. His large-format photographs were among the first to document sacred sites of great cultural, architectural, and archeological importance in areas generally inaccessible to Western travelers. Tripe is also exceptional for his artful retouching of negatives to enhance precisely composed images with clouds and other atmospheric effects.

From that time on that has remained my language. I immediately recognize the idiot wherever he is, whoever he is. Nobody can escape my X-ray eyes. I can immediately see any retardedness, or anything else whatsoever.
The other day I had given one of my sannyasins the fountain pen that I wrote his new name with, just for him to remember that this was the pen I had used at the beginning of his new life, his sannyas. But his wife was there. I had even invited his wife to become a sannyasin. She was willing, and not willing - you know the way the women are: this way and that way; you never know exactly. Even when they show their right hand out of a car, you never know if they will really turn right. They may be feeling the wind, or nobody knows - they can be doing anything. That woman was willy-nilly, wishy-washy.a perfect woman in a way. She wanted to say yes and yet could not say it. She wanted to say no and yet could not say it - that kind of woman. And remember that is ninety-nine point nine percent of all women on the earth; only point one percent is left out. Otherwise that woman is very representative.
Still I tried to seduce her - into sannyas, I mean! I played my game a little bit, and she was coming very close to saying yes when I stopped. I am also not so simple as it may seem from the outside. I don't mean that I am complex, I mean that I can see things so clearly that sometimes I have to withdraw my simplicity and its invitation.
When she was just about to say yes, she clutched her husband's hand, who was now a sannyasin. I looked at him and could see that he wanted to get rid of this woman. She had tortured him enough. In fact he was hoping that by becoming a sannyasin this woman would have mercy, and leave him of her own accord. I could see his puzzlement when I was trying to persuade his wife to become a sannyasin. In his heart he was saying, "My God. If she becomes a sannyasin then even in Pune I can't be at ease."
He wants to become part of this ashram. He is a rich man and owns a multi-million dollar business and wants to donate all of it to the ashram. He was afraid.. I could see through and through this sannyasin and his wife.
There was no bridge between them, and there never had been. They were just an English couple, you know.. God knows why they married - and God does not exist. I repeat it again and again because I always feel you may think that God really knows! God does not know because he exists not.
God is a word like jesus. It does not mean anything, it is just an exclamation. That's how the story goes, telling how Jesus got his name..
Joseph and Mary are taking their child back home from Bethlehem. Mary is sitting on the donkey with the child. Joseph is walking ahead holding the rope, leading the donkey. Suddenly he stumbles, hitting his toe on a rock. "Jesus!" he shouts. And you know the ways of women..
Mary says, "Joseph! I was thinking what name to give to our new child, and just now you uttered the right name - Jesus!"

I am on a plan with no lites, and don't intend to buy but wondered what other things i might stock up for future use. Looking for suggestions for snack items that you found enjoyable ie cookies, etc. I don;t have much to spend but would like to take advantage of some of the snack things (especially anything to satisfy my salt/chips craving i am missing)
