Based on the immensely popular horror web series with over four million fans, Fear Clinic is coming to the big screen with a new crop of patients and more terrifying phobias!
During the question-and-answer session of the screening, Taylor stated about the experience of making "Fear Clinic": "As my first movie, I couldn't ask for better people to work with. [It was] a great cast to work with, great people on set, great producers, great crew. We put our heads down and we made a good movie. It was a short shoot, the weather was garbage and we all caught hepatitis in that way. But we pulled it through and it was cool to see it finally on the big screen."
"Fear Clinic" stars Robert Englund, best known as Freddy Krueger in "A Nightmare On Elm Street", as Dr. Andover, a doctor who treats patients afflicted with crippling phobias by inducing hallucinations inside an invention he calls the Fear Chamber.
In the film, which began life in 2009 as a five-episode series for the web site FearNet.com, Taylor plays a clinic employee named Bauer who struggles to keep things under control when all hell breaks loose. The movie centers around one traumatic event that induces phobias in a group of different people.
Asked why SLIPKNOT has nine members, Taylor responded: "It just took that many people to get the noise out of our head. I mean, for us, we wanted to create something that was different, and it was one of those things where we just kept adding members, basically. 'Cause when I joined, it was only eight. And once we kind of got to the point where we were just missing that one thing, we were able to kind of really realize everything that we wanted to do, musically. We're one of those bands that we strive so hard to be able to project everything that we do on the album live, and it just took that many members to make that a reality."
He recently told Blabbermouth, via AltPress, a story that will surely upset smartphone-loving fans. While playing a gig, he noticed a girl constantly on her phone during Slipknot's set, so he got as near to her as possible and poured four bottles of water in her direction.
Slipknot are known just as much for their unique masks as they are for their chart-topping music. In a recent interview with Canada's 97.7 HTZ-FM radio station (listen below), frontman Corey Taylor talked about Slipknot's masks.
When asked whether Slipknot could be Slipknot without their trademark masks, Taylor responded, "I think in a way we could, but I don't think we'd want to. I mean, I always think back to when KISS took the makeup off back in the '80s, and I know why they did it, because they kind of hit a wall and it was time to evolve for them."
Get ready to be treated by horror icon Robert Englund in his anticipated film, 'Fear Clinic,' which is set to be released on Blu-ray and DVD on Febraruy 10, 2015 by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The highly anticipated and shocking movie, which is based ont he critically acclaimed and fan favorite 2009 FEARnet.com series, was directed by 'Laid to Rest' helmer, Robert G. Hall. In addition to the famed 'Freddy Krueger' star, 'Fear Clinic' also features Fiona Dourif, Angelina Armani, Thomas Dekker, Stone Sour and Slipknot lead vocalist Corey Taylor in his acting debut.
'Fear Clinic,' which was co-written by Hall and Aaron Drane, follows five survivors as they return to the title facility a year after they suffer a horrifying tragedy, as their trauma-induced phobias begin to re-emerge. They hope their visit to the clinic will lead them to find the answers they need to get cured.
The film made its festival debut at Screamfest this season.
Written by Aaron Drane and Hall and directed by Hall, the film stars Robert Englund, Fiona Dourif, and Thomas Dekker and features the acting debut of Stone Sour and Slipknot lead vocalist Corey Taylor.
The shocker stars horror icon Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund, Fiona Dourif, Angelina Armani, Thomas Dekker, as well as Stone Sour and Slipknot lead vocalist Corey Taylor in his acting debut, and is directed by Robert G. Hall (Lightning Bug, Laid to Rest, ChromeSkull: Laid To Rest II).
With blood-chilling special effects by award-winning FX creators Robert Kurtzman and Steve Johnson, Fear Clinic is said to take viewers on an unforgettable journey into the very soul of terror itself.
Fear Clinic will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 10th. Special features and the cover art have yet to be revealed, but we'll be sure to let Daily Dead readers know when they are announced. In the meantime, we have the official press release with full details:
"BEVERLY HILLS, CA – After terrifying audiences from coast to coast – Closing Night Event at ScreamFest 2014 Los Angeles and Opening Night Screening at 2014 New York City Horror Film Festival – Fear Clinic, the latest excursion into unrelenting terror will be released on Blu-ray™ and DVD on February 10, 2015 by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The highly anticipated shocker stars horror icon Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund, Fiona Dourif, Angelina Armani, Thomas Dekker, as well as Stone Sour and Slipknot lead vocalist Corey Taylor in his acting debut, and is directed by Robert G.

Question & Answers
On the move- Tunisia
How can i defend the fort? can u give me any tips? there are lot of enemies. how can i fight with them alone! It seems impossible to me! is there any way to fight with them coming down from my car ? or hide somewhere to regain my strength ? the car is driving automatically, i can't control it?
Answer from: gdfgfd
My advice is to shoot all enemies you see. espicially for the ones with rocket launcher. shoot them before they reload. Also, try to anticipate where the enemy will come out as this will really help you.
Answer from: NoNaMe
Anticipate, as the man said before me, also you don't have to be very close to the enemy, as soon as you see something moving -shoot at it, chances are you'll hit it. But you have to pick your targets also. You know, like the post before mine says, beware of rocket launchers, usually when you see a swarm of soldiers running out from...wherever, there'll be at least one guy with the grenade launcher, make sure or try to kill them first, cause they'll do the most damage. They also appear on the rooftops a lot. Make sure you deal with other vehicles as soon as you can, and...well that's all I got, it got me through on the first try, surprisingly. Maybe if I go again, I'll get creamed, but that machine gun in your hand is very powerful, you don't need to aim...much, just kinda use it like a brush, I guess, I'm not sure how else to explain it. I'm sure you'll do splendidly! Good luck!

Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Alex Oriakhi scored 13 points and pulled down 10 rebounds as the No. 6 seed Missouri Tigers defeated the No. 11 seed Texas A&M Aggies, 62-50, in the second round of the Southeastern Conference tournament at Bridgestone Arena.
For the Tigers (23-9), Jabari Brown, Tony Criswell and Jabari Brown each added 10 points, while Earnest Ross pulled down 10 rebounds. Missouri will now face No. 3 seed Ole Miss in the quarterfinals.
Fabyon Harris led the Aggies (18-15) with 15 points.
Missouri took a 28-19 lead into halftime by shooting 50 percent from the field and holding Texas A&M to just 23.1 percent shooting. The Aggies did have some success from the perimeter early on, knocking down 4-of-10 from 3-point range in the first half.
After intermission, the Tigers made just 40 percent of their field goal tries, but again played strong defense and held the Aggies to just 25 percent shooting from the field, including 1-of-6 from beyond the arc. Missouri pushed its lead to as many as 21 in the second half and never trailed in the contest.
The Tigers dominated the boards, outrebounding the Aggies, 46-31. Texas A&M shot a season-low 24.1 percent in the first SEC tournament confrontation between these two former Big 12 rivals.

Unreliable, unhelpful, unfriendly. Never returns calls or try to resolve issues. Just after quick deal and not interested in their tenants. Problems with property unattended nor inspected when reported.
For a company that has been in existence for so many years it is a shame their staff are not trained to perform professionally for the sake of their image.
I would not recommend this company to anyone!!!

With my friends Peter Green (Bristol), Krzysztof Łatuszyński (Warwick) and Marcello Pereyra (Bristol), we just arXived the first version of "Bayesian computation: a perspective on the current state, and sampling backwards and forwards", which first title was the title of this post. This is a survey of our own perspective on Bayesian computation, from what occurred in the last 25 years [a lot!] to what could occur in the near future [a lot as well!]. Submitted to Statistics and Computing towards the special 25th anniversary issue, as announced in an earlier post.. Pulling strength and breadth from each other's opinion, we have certainly attained more than the sum of our initial respective contributions, but we are welcoming comments about bits and pieces of importance that we miss and even more about promising new directions that are not posted in this survey. (A warning that is should go with most of my surveys is that my input in this paper will not differ by a large margin from ideas expressed here or in previous surveys.)

Bayesian computation: fore and aft
Posted in Books, Statistics, University life with tags ABC, adaptive MCMC methods, Bayesian Analysis, Bayesian computation, Bayesian optimisation, expectation-propagation, MCMC algorithms, pseudo-marginal MCMC, Statistics and Computing, survey, University of Bristol, University of Warwick, variational Bayes methods on February 6, 2015 by xi'anPre-processing for approximate Bayesian computation in image analysis
Posted in R, Statistics, University life with tags ABC, Chamonix, image processing, MCMC, MCMSki IV, Monte Carlo Statistical Methods, path sampling, Potts model, QUT, simulation, SMC-ABC, Statistics and Computing, sufficient statistics, summary statistics on March 21, 2014 by xi'anWith Matt Moores and Kerrie Mengersen, from QUT, we wrote this short paper just in time for the MCMSki IV Special Issue of Statistics & Computing. And arXived it, as well. The global idea is to cut down on the cost of running an ABC experiment by removing the simulation of a humongous state-space vector, as in Potts and hidden Potts model, and replacing it by an approximate simulation of the 1-d sufficient (summary) statistics. In that case, we used a division of the 1-d parameter interval to simulate the distribution of the sufficient statistic for each of those parameter values and to compute the expectation and variance of the sufficient statistic. Then the conditional distribution of the sufficient statistic is approximated by a Gaussian with these two parameters. And those Gaussian approximations substitute for the true distributions within an ABC-SMC algorithm à la Del Moral, Doucet and Jasra (2012).
Across 20 125 × 125 pixels simulated images, Matt's algorithm took an average of 21 minutes per image for between 39 and 70 SMC iterations, while resorting to pseudo-data and deriving the genuine sufficient statistic took an average of 46.5 hours for 44 to 85 SMC iterations. On a realistic Landsat image, with a total of 978,380 pixels, the precomputation of the mapping function took 50 minutes, while the total CPU time on 16 parallel threads was 10 hours 38 minutes. By comparison, it took 97 hours for 10,000 MCMC iterations on this image, with a poor effective sample size of 390 values. Regular SMC-ABC algorithms cannot handle this scale: It takes 89 hours to perform a single SMC iteration! (Note that path sampling also operates in this framework, thanks to the same precomputation: in that case it took 2.5 hours for 10⁵ iterations, with an effective sample size of 10⁴…)
Since my student's paper on Seaman et al (2012) got promptly rejected by TAS for quoting too extensively from my post, we decided to include me as an extra author and submitted the paper to this special issue as well.
Statistics and Computing special MCMSk'issue [call for papers]
Posted in Books, Mountains, R, Statistics, University life with tags Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, deadline, guest editors, JRSSB, MCMSki IV, Read paper, Series B, ski resorts, special issue, Statistics and Computing, The Economist, University of Warwick on February 7, 2014 by xi'anFollowing the exciting and innovative talks, posters and discussions at MCMski IV, the editor of Statistics and Computing, Mark Girolami (who also happens to be the new president-elect of the BayesComp section of ISBA, which is taking over the management of future MCMski meetings), kindly proposed to publish a special issue of the journal open to all participants to the meeting. Not only to speakers, mind, but to all participants.
So if you are interested in submitting a paper to this special issue of a computational statistics journal that is very close to our MCMski themes, I encourage you to do so. (Especially if you missed the COLT 2014 deadline!) The deadline for submissions is set on March 15 (a wee bit tight but we would dearly like to publish the issue in 2014, namely the same year as the meeting.) Submissions are to be made through the Statistics and Computing portal, with a mention that they are intended for the special issue.
An editorial committee chaired by Antonietta Mira and composed of Christophe Andrieu, Brad Carlin, Nicolas Chopin, Jukka Corander, Colin Fox, Nial Friel, Chris Holmes, Gareth Jones, Peter Müller, Antonietta Mira, Geoff Nicholls, Gareth Roberts, Håvård Rue, Robin Ryder, and myself, will examine the submissions and get back within a few weeks to the authors. In a spirit similar to the JRSS Read Paper procedure, submissions will first be examined collectively, before being sent to referees. We plan to publish the reviews as well, in order to include a global set of comments on the accepted papers. We intend to do it in The Economist style, i.e. as a set of edited anonymous comments. Usual instructions for Statistics and Computing apply, with the additional requirements that the paper should be around 10 pages and include at least one author who took part in MCMski IV.
MCMSki IV [mistakes and regrets]
Posted in Books, Mountains, pictures, R, Statistics, Travel, University life, Wines with tags BayesComp, Blossom skis, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, ISBA, MCMSki, ski race, Statistics and Computing on January 13, 2014 by xi'anNow that the conference and the Bayesian non-parametric satellite workshop (thanks to Judith!) are over, with (almost) everyone back home, and that the post-partum conference blues settles in (!), I can reflect on how things ran for those meetings and what I could have done to improve them… (Not yet considering to propose a second edition of MCMSki in Chamonix, obviously!)
Although this was clearly a side issue for most participants, the fact that the ski race did not take place still rattles me! In retrospect, adding a mere 5€ amount to the registration fees for all participants would have been enough to cover the (fairly high) fares asked by the local ski school. Late planning for the ski race led to overlook this basic fact…
Since MCMSki is now the official conference of the BayesComp section of ISBA, I should have planned well in advance a section meeting within the program, if only to discuss the structure of the next meeting and how to keep the section alive. Waiting till the end of the last section of the final day was not the best idea!
Another thing I postponed for too long was seeking some sponsors: fortunately, the O'Bayes meeting in Duke woke me up to the potential of a poster prize and re-fortunately Academic Press, CRC Press, and Springer-Verlag reacted quickly enough to have plenty of books to hand to the winners. If we could have had another group of sponsors financing a beanie or something similar, it would have been an additional perk… Even though I gathered enough support from participants about the minimalist conference "package" made of a single A4 sheet.
Last, I did not advertise properly on the webpage and at all during the meeting for the special issue of Statistics and Computing open to all presenters at MCMSki IV! We now need to send a reminder to them…

The representation is made in terms of frequencies of visits to [accepted proposals from] models MA(1) and MA(2) during an ABC simulation when ε corresponds to the 10,1,.1,.01% quantiles on the simulated autocovariance distances. The data is a time series of 50 points simulated from a MA(2) model. The true Bayes factor is then equal to 17.71, corresponding to posterior probabilities of 0.95 and 0.05 for the MA(2) and MA(1) models, resp.
The survey we wrote with Jean-Michel Marin, Pierre Pudlo, and Robin Ryder is now published in [the expensive] Statistics and Computing (on-line). Beside recycling a lot of Og posts on ABC, this paper has the (personal) appeal of giving us the first hint that all was not so rosy in terms of ABC model choice. I wonder whether or not it will be part of the ABC special issue.
Questions on ABC
Posted in Statistics, University life with tags ABC, arXiv, John Halton, revision, special issue, Statistics and Computing, survey on May 31, 2011 by xi'anOur ABC survey for Statistics and Computing (and the ABC special issue!) has been quickly revised, resubmitted, and rearXived. Here is our conclusion about some issues that remain unsolved (much more limited in scope than the program drafted by Halton!):
- the convergence results obtained so far are unpractical in that they require either the tolerance to go to zero or the sample size to go to infinity. Obtaining exact error bounds for positive tolerances and finite sample sizes would bring a strong improvement in both the implementation of the method and in the assessment of its worth.
- in particular, the choice of the tolerance is so far handled from a very empirical perspective. Recent theoretical assessments show that a balance between Monte Carlo variability and target approximation is necessary, but the right amount of balance must be reached towards a practical implementation.
- even though ABC is often presented as a converging method that approximates Bayesian inference, it can also be perceived as an inference technique per se and hence analysed in its own right. Connections with indirect inference have already been drawn, however the fine asymptotics of ABC would be most useful to derive. Moreover, it could indirectly provide indications about the optimal calibration of the algorithm.
- in connection with the above, the connection of ABC-based inference with other approximative methods like variational Bayes inference is so far unexplored. Comparing and interbreeding those different methods should become a research focus as well.
- the construction and selection of the summary statistics is so far highly empirical. An automated approach based on the principles of data analysis and approximate sufficiency would be much more attractive and convincing, especially in non-standard and complex settings. \item the debate about ABC-based model choice is so far inconclusive in that we cannot guarantee the validity of the approximation, while considering that a "large enough" collection of summary statistics provides an acceptable level of approximation. Evaluating the discrepancy by exploratory methods like the bootstrap would shed a much more satisfactory light on this issue.
- the method necessarily faces limitations imposed by large datasets or complex models, in that simulating pseudo-data may itself become an impossible task. Dimension-reducing techniques that would simulate directly the summary statistics will soon become necessary.
ABC in London [quick recap']
Posted in Statistics, Travel, University life with tags ABC, ABC in London, ABC-SMC, Imperial College London, Statistics and Computing on May 6, 2011 by xi'anThe meeting yesterday went on very smoothly and nicely. Despite a tight schedule of 12 talks that made the meeting a very full day (and a very early start from Paris), it did not feel that exhausting, as also shown by the ensuing discussion in the Queens Arm after the talks. (The organisation of the meeting by Michael Stumpf and his group at Imperial was splendid, with plenty of tea and food to sustain the audience, and a very nice conference room.) It obviously helped that I had read a large portion of the papers related to the talks.
The meeting started with David Balding recalling a few quotes from Alan Templeton to stress that ABC was not uniformly well-received in all circles, then Adam Powell gave a fascinating talk about an implementation of ABC on tracking the evolution of dairy farming in Europe. One amazing result in this work was that the whole of European cattle originated from a small herd of a few hundred domesticated aurochs in the Fertile Crescent! Simon Tavaré presented an equally fascinating study on the ancestral tree of primates that used a mix of ABC and MCM, recently published in System Biology, with the age of the common ancestor estimated to be between 80 and 90 million years ago (and an additional estimation of the divergence between humans and chimpanzees to be closer to 8 million years than 5 million years as thought previously). Tina Toni talked about the application of ABC-SMC and ABC model choice to complex biochemical dynamics. Pierre Pudlo and Mohammed Sedki introduced the new ABC-SMC scheme for selecting the tolerance we are developing (with Jean-Michel Marin and Jean-Marie Cornuet), which builds on Del Moral, Doucet and Jasra's ABC-SMC (and hopefully completed soon to be submitted to Statistics and Computing special ABC issue). Oliver Ratmann showed an implementation of his model assessment to several epidemic data, including a superb influenza sequence. Ajay Jasra explained the main ideas in the ABC HMM paper I recently discussed (even mentioning the post during the talk!). Mark Beaumont started with a recollection of the developments on his GIMH algorithm and illustrated the use of particle MCMC with an ABC target in a dynamic admixture model with a sort of Dirichlet random walk on the admixture parameters. Michael Blum presented his study on the clear estimation error improvement brought by linear and non-linear adjustments to the raw ABC output. Dennis Prangle then followed by a pedagogical introduction to the semi-automated ABC discussed several times on the 'Og. In the final session on ABC model choice, Xavier Didelot started the discussion by stating the problem about Bayes factor approximation and the resolution in the case of exponential families and Chris Barnes showed us a new method for picking summary statistics by a Kullback-Leibler criterion (Michael Stumpf had sent me the draft of the paper a few days ago and I will comment on the approach once it is available on arXiv).
Again, a very full but exhilarating day! Looking forward the next edition in Roma!

Hunt Ball and Cristal Bonus feature among 23 horses to stand their ground at the confirmation stage for the Paul Stewart IronSpine Charity Challenge Gold Cup at Cheltenham on Saturday.
The Keiran Burke-trained Hunt Ball was one of the most improved chasers in training last season but was pulled up on his reappearance in the Paddy Power Gold Cup.
Former smart novice chaser Cristal Bonus, trained by Paul Nicholls, landed a Grade Two at Down Royal by nine lengths last month.
Anthony Knott, owner of Hunt Ball, explained the intention was for the horse to run at the weekend before the King George at Christmas, although ground conditions could be against his horse once more.
He said: "The ground went against us last time and if we get better ground you will see a proper horse.
"He's probably going to run this weekend, as I know Andy Stewart (sponsor) well, but they have predicted rain coming in and it looks as if the ground will go against us.
"He could do with a blow-out ahead of the King George and if he ran into the frame (at the weekend) I'd be well pleased."
Nicholls has also left in Ghizao and Unioniste, with trainers' title rival Nicky Henderson double-handed through Quantitativeeasing and Nadiya De La Vega, who was third to Al Ferof in the Paddy Power.
Wishfull Thinking heads the weights from his Philip Hobbs-trained stablemate Menorah, who beat Cristal Bonus in a Grade One at Aintree's Grand National meeting.
The Stanjames.com International Hurdle and Unicoin Homes Relkeel Hurdle on the same card have both been re-opened for entries until Tuesday morning.

In the spirit of Alvin Toffler's Future Shock, a social critique of our obsession with choice, and how it contributes to anxiety, dissatisfaction and regret. This paperback includes a new P.S. section with author interviews, insights, features, suggested readings, and more.
Whether we're buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions--both big and small--have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented.
We assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression.
In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice--the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish--becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice--from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs--has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse.
By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counterintuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on the important ones and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.

15 local college players to participate in NFL Combine, including 5 each from BYU, Utah
When the NFL Scouting Combine opens this weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, BYU will be represented by five players, headlined by linebacker Kyle Van Noy.
It's the highest number of Cougar players to participate in a Combine since 2002, when six from BYU were invited.
This is also a banner year for the Beehive State at the Combine. There will be 15 players from local schools — five from Utah, four from Utah State and one from Dixie State — that will participate out of the more than 300 top NFL prospects from 124 different programs.
Only 13 schools boast more Combine participants than BYU and Utah.
Meanwhile, four of BYU's five invitees are defensive players. Only three programs — Alabama, Florida State and Florida — have more defensive players participating in this year's Combine.
Besides Van Noy, the other Cougars attending are linebacker Uani Unga, defensive back Daniel Sorensen, defensive lineman Eathyn Manumaleuna and wide receiver Cody Hoffman.
Having five players at the Combine is a boon for BYU.
"It's significant because we've got a lot more attention on BYU with the guys going in (the Combine) and players are seeing that," said BYU linebackers coach Kelly Poppinga. "For recruiting purposes, it's great. It's good to show that for our recruits that we can produce NFL players and help them get into the NFL through the scheme that we play. It also shows that, as coaches, we can develop players."
Before defensive lineman Ezekiel Ansah was selected No. 5 overall last April in the NFL draft, the Cougars hadn't had a single player drafted since 2010. Ansah was BYU's first first-round pick since 2000.
Current Cougar players will have their eyes on what happens this weekend at the Combine.
"It's rewarding for us, but I think it's even more rewarding for the players," said Poppinga. "Guys in our program are more excited now about the Combine and the NFL. In the past, it's kind of been a negative, with guys wondering if they'd have a chance (to get to the NFL). But if you play well and you're good enough player, you're going to get to the NFL Combine and you have a chance to be drafted."
The Combine puts participants through an intense series of drills, tests and interviews over a four-day period. The drills consist of the 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, three-cone drill and shuttle run.
Utah will be represented by linebacker Trevor Reilly, tight ends Jake Murphy and Anthony Denham, defensive lineman Tenny Palepoi, and defensive back Keith McGill. Offensive lineman Tyler Larsen, tight end D.J. Tialavea and defensive backs Mo Alexander and Nevin Lawson will represent Utah State, while Dixie State tight end Joe Don Duncan will also be in Indianapolis.
Poppinga said that having 15 players from local schools shows the quality of football played in Utah.
"We play good football in the state of Utah, with Utah State coming up the last few years, and with Utah and us," said Poppinga, who played collegiately at both Utah State and BYU.
Why were so many defensive players from BYU invited to the Combine?
"We maybe have a little bit more talent than we've had in the past overall. I think overall we have better players," said Poppinga. "That's why, defensively at least, we've been better the last three years because we've had a bunch of NFL players on those teams. It comes down to talent, and having schemes that will highlight the talents we have, then developing those players to prepare them for the next level. It always comes back to when you have great players, teams are going to find them."

Breaking Bad: A No Rough Stuff Type Deal (season finale)
by Jason Hughes, posted Mar 10th 2008 8:42AM
(S01E07) Well, I have to say that while this finale did establish a certain status quo, albeit a highly precarious one, it was by no means a satisfying series ender. Thus, I fully expect that AMC will renew this amazing show for a second season post haste. Did you here me, AMC? Whatever you need to do to secure these actors and get this ball rolling. And maybe give us at least 13 episodes next time, eh?
Breaking Bad: Gray Matter
by Jason Hughes, posted Feb 25th 2008 10:41AM
(S01E05) This episode served as a bridge in our larger story to the next chapter of both Jesse and Walt's lives. In the previous installment, Walt withdrew from the sordid world of drug trafficking and focused on his family, revealing his cancer and looking at the varying options available to him. Meanwhile, his erstwhile partner Jesse had a bad drug reaction and sought refuge in the home of his parents, which didn't turn out as well as he had hoped. Here they both continued their efforts to move on with their lives, to varying degrees of failure.

(S01E03) "I thought we were going to Cold Stone Creamery." Walt, Jr. with Hank
With this episode we come to the conclusion of what would be considered the "First Act" of the Breaking Bad saga. I have to say that I was very impressed with this conclusion, and with the opening arc. Cranston continues to dominate the screen with his tragic portrayal of a desperate man who's health is clearly failing more and more with each passing moment. Hard decisions are made, and the hardest and best decision he's made yet looks to be the one the episode ends on.
Breaking Bad: Cat's in the Bag...

(S01E02) "Is this going to be on the murder?" -- question asked by a student in Walter White's class, or at least how he heard it.
Things are starting to unravel fast for our "odd couple" of meth makers. Last episode left them with two dead bodies in the back of a wrecked RV filled with meth ingredients. How could it get worse? Well, what if one of those dead bodies isn't so much ... dead that is? The boys haven't sold any drugs yet, Pinkman's house is falling apart and White's marriage may not be far behind. Cranston's getting well deserved raves for his stellar performance, but as with most buddy comedies, and let's face it this is becoming a very dark comedy, it takes two great actors to pull it off, and Aaron Paul's Pinkman is an amazing foil for Cranston's White.

I've got a music app that suspends when in the background, so what you're saying would appear not to be the case.
Also, I don't really care about battery life or CPU usage on a desktop. That's fine for a phone which is guaranteed to not be connected to power and for which battery life is very important. It's silly not to offer a toggle option for a desktop that has upgradeable RAM and a multi-core CPU.

Listen to music, obviously. Some of the internet radio apps look interesting, but they're useless if I have to be in the interface for them the whole time that I'm listening.
And it definitely is the fault of the OS, if it doesn't have a toggle. RIM did it properly with PlayBook OS, and Windows 7 and earlier have always let you just run music while minimised. It's a pretty common usage scenario. If it's an issue of using APIs properly, they should make sure that every music app in the store can run in the background, and regardless, they should have put a toggle in as well.

Well, try them out. They should work in the background. It sounds like you found one that was written incorrectly and doesn't. Try the default music app... it gives you free streaming. It's pretty awesome.
Microsoft isn't going to do an exhaustive test of the app.
It's up to the developer to do and to fix. Complain to them and/or write a review for that app that mentions the shortcoming. It's absolutely not a fault of the OS.
No, no toggle. That breeds laziness (developer laziness). It masks the symptoms instead of treating the disease. It should just be written properly. Yes, it's a matter of using APIs appropriately.

Thats like me saying I'll develop a chat app and it's up to the users to create the network connection (in code!). It's not Microsofts responsibility while I agree for these type of media apps there should be some check that they are indeed background-able it's still up to the developer to KNOW THE API and fix their ****.Not of the type I want. I see that yes, it does play music in the background, but there's no mood-based playlists or artist discovery going on.
They totally should, they barely have enough apps as is. Once it gets more populated, it would make sense to just leave it up to the developers, but at the moment, it's about properly supporting the devs.
Yes it is, because the OS doesn't have a toggle for apps running in the background.
It's not a matter of developer laziness, it's a matter of choice to use the computer how I like. That was the appeal of Windows compared to OSX, if MS keeps this up they'll be removing that advantage, and handing it to Android (and Linux maybe). And it doesn't breed dev laziness on the PlayBook, so you're wrong all around.
