The DualShock 4 controller that Sony showcased at its PlayStation Meeting on Wednesday was a near-final model, a company representative has said.
[PS4: All the news | All the facts | Every video of all the games | Official pictures | PS4 Specs]
PlayStation Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida said the pad is "still in development in terms of final specs and design".
"It's near final. It's just gonna be small tweaks being done," he told Engadget.
On Wednesday Sony revealed the PlayStation 4 at a New York press conference. It also debuted a new PlayStation controller complete with a touch-pad and share button. Journalists and consumers will be able to play with the pad for the first time "by E3 I think", Yoshida added.
Sony has already set a "holiday 2013" release for the PS4.
The PS4 release date is set for "holiday 2013", likely across Japan, Europe and the US.

We are delighted to welcome Simon Jones from SR Partners to Escape Studios this week to present a visual treat 'Reasonance' to our students.
Evening Courses have Never Been so Popular
Creative Futures is a study we recently commissioned to uncover what people in the creative industries really think about training. One of the key factors emerging from the report was that many professionals currently in full time employment, were actively seeking new skills to further their career. In these cases online or evening study are the only option.
Digital Compositor and Escapee Victor Perez Thanks Escape Studios
When Victor Perez finished our 12-week Compositing for Production course last year, we knew that he was destined for great things. Since completing the course he has worked for an impressive range of companies - most of the post houses in Soho in fact - and is absolutely loving it. Victor was born to be a compositor -it's just in his blood. He's been hooked since his early days watching Star Wars. For Victor being able to use his artistic and technical skills to tell a story is one of the most important aspect of what he does -he's definitely in the right job then!
University Tour Update
The tour continued with a whirlwind week of talks. Firstly I met with a small group of the Games Development students at the University of Westminster. They have a number of interesting courses there as well as some interesting research projects - I hope we can build on this initial meeting and I'll be able to tell you more about what they are up to in the future!

Capiz Shell Laptop Table
Very useful
I got this cute little table as a side table next to place next to the couch that would swing over the couch's arm so I could put dinner on it or my laptop. Unfortunately, it's not tall enough for me to do that. My couch's arm is about 3 inches taller than the table.
I still use it, though. It's really cute and I've been using it a lot when I'm working while sitting on the couch. I put my laptop on it and work using it.
One other thing that may or may not turn you off: The surface is uneven. I don't think this is a huge deal, but it's sort of surprising.
It would be great if you could adjust the height.

THE POLYGRAPH EXAMINATION ROOM at Royston Police headquarters was conveniently fitted with a one-way mirror. In a small room behind this mirror stood Inspector Matthew Walker and his friend Thomas P. Stanwick, who was taking a break from his freelance editing to observe a slice of a criminal investigation. "You may have seen something in the paper of the Bulgarian Diamond Mining Company securities scam," said Walker. "Over half a million 'invested' dollars were stolen. Of course, there was no such company."
"And these four were involved?" asked Stanwick, peering through the glass into the polygraph room.
"That's right. Louis Lambert, Diane Sorensen, Morty Cameron, and John Thorpe ran the whole operation. One of the men was the salesman, another of the four printed the phony stock certificates, another kept the books, and the fourth acted as the banker, depositing and withdrawing the funds. We're questioning them now about their roles in the scam."
As Stanwick and Walker listened, the four suspects were given polygraph examinations. Each made two statements. "1 was the bookkeeper," declared Lambert. "You know what? Thorpe was the bookkeeper tool" He cackled with laughter. "Lambert was not the banker," said Cameron. "I printed the certificates."
"Lambert wasn't the printer," Sorensen said. "The salesman was Thorpe."
"Either Diane or Morty kept the books," said Thorpe. "Diane doesn't know a thing about printing."
It was soon apparent that the four suspects would say no more, so Stanwick, who had be en taking notes, departed. He returned the next day to visit Walker in his office. He found Walker glaring at the report of the polygraph examiner.
"1 can't believe it!" Walker roared. "The polygraph is acting irregularly again. I'm told that each suspect made one true statement and one false statement, but that we can't tell which is which I've got to persuade the chief to budget a new machine." Stanwick laughed heartily.
"1 hear that polygraphs are notoriously unreliable," he said. "If that report is true, though, a little logic can determine which statements were true, which were false, and who played what role in the scam.
"Who did what in the Bulgarian Diamond Mining Company?
Scroll down for the answer.
Mini Mystery Solution:
The Case of the Bulgarian Diamonds
If Thorpe's first statement (TI) is true, then both of Lambert's statements (Ll and L2) are false. This contradicts the premise that each made one true and one false statement, so TI is false and T2 is true. Therefore neither Sorenson nor Cameron was the bookkeeper, and Sorensen was not the printer. Since she was not the salesman either (the salesman having been one of the men), she must have been the banker. This means that Tl is true, so T2 is false and Cameron was not the printer. He must therefore be the salesman.
This proves that S2 if false, so SI is true and Lambert was not the printer. Lambert was therefore the bookkeeper, and Thorpe was the printer.

From the Archives: Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (11 entries)
Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
Evolution and Immunity: Same Story?
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis (4 entries)
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling (3 entries)
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order (6 entries)
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Death and Rebirth: The Role of Extinction in Evolution
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
Evolution, Creation, and The Sting of Death: Part 3
It is one thing to say that death is primordial; it is another to view it as the central means of creation. The theological uneasiness about this issue ultimately rests not just on an understanding of God's creative activity, but also on a particular representation of evolution.
Becoming Human: New Insights from Genome-wide Functional Genomics
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 2
I now respond directly to Dembski's analysis of "Darwinism" and how BioLogos differs from the view he critiques.
Science as an Instrument of Worship, Part 3
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
Vox Balaenae
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.

Do you think your kids will be able to find a job when they get out of college? Will they stay in New York or head off to a state where the business climate is thriving?
We have been looking at all the hurdles hurting small businesses that are providing local jobs and we heard the same message from many business owners. Pretty much every business owner we spoke with for this report had nothing good to say about the tax situation in our state.
People like Bob Hewitt and Greg Young from Hewitt Young Electric on Rochester's west side feel they are getting taxed to death. Even though their sales are up 67-percent this year, the drain from taxes and regulations, hits them square in the bottom line.
On average, they have about 50 people on the payroll and they just found out the state is raising their workman�s compensation rate by 23-percent on November 1.
We asked if it's worth running a business in New York. Bob Hewitt said, "We're local, we're born and bred here in New York State so I don't foresee us moving our business to North Carolina or Jacksonville, or some place. I feel we need to stay in New York."
Not everyone is willing to just pick up their business and move to another state but Bob and Greg would like to see some tax relief.
For this report, we analyzed the Tax Foundation's report for 2013 that compares state by state all the taxes that impact businesses and we're going to show you how New York ranks.

The CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) Winter Show was a blast! As always, CHA offers one of the best ways to officially launch new products to the crafting industry. Among the hundreds of new products showcased at CHA this year, there were a small number that REALLY stood out. These industry trailblazers and change-makers weren't just about pretty designs, they are getting creative to serve a new generation of crafters.
Here is a rundown of the most innovative products introduced at this CHA Winter 2013 show:
General Crafting
(TOP PICK) Plaid's Mod Melts – Designed by Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza for Plaid Crafts
Resin work is a favorite of crafters, but if you have ever worked with resin, you know just what a process it can be. You have to find a well-ventilated area (and ignore all those scary warnings on the packaging!) You need special tools to mix and a volatile mix of stuff to make the compound. Then you have to find a safe place to let creations dry for up to a few days. And hope no errant dog hair or leaf or anything else falls on your work while it is curing.
What's cool about it? When I saw Mod Melts being demonstrated in the Plaid Crafts Booth, I literally jumped up and down! It gives the look of resin, but solves pretty much all of the problems artists face with using traditional resin products.
Mod Melts is basically a melt-ready compound that is shaped and formulated work with your trusty glue gun. Just heat it up and and pump with the glue gun right into your silicone mold (also available in the product line.) When it cools, it is set – just pop it out! The result is a paint-able, resin-like shape that can be used in scrapbooking, jewlery, and mixed media projects.
The product comes in two finishes: – Sea glass (a shiny and more clear version) and Milk Glass (a milky white version.) I talked to designer Cathie Filian about the invention. "We developed this product to be non-toxic and easy – like all of the products in this line," she said.
Crafts companies, take note: Innovate to make crafting materials greener, safer, and easier to use. Consumers are demanding healthy products across industries. Mod Melts is a perfect example of how to execute this flawlessly and is my personal favorite new product launched at CHA 2013.
Phoomph for Fabric by Coats and Clark
Coats and Clark know their customers. Sewists have a process they almost always use for applique that requires several products – fabric, padding or batting, adhesive. Coats and Clark saw an opportunity to make things easier for their customers in developing a products that simplifies the time-trusted process.
What's cool about it? Phoomph combines several materials products into one, creating a self-adhesive, padded wonder useful in so many projects.
Kids Crafting
Perler Beads Tray and App
It's a fact: kids love iPads. Why not use them to help kids create and develop their tactile skills? The new Perler beads app and ipad tray from EK Success allows kids to create hundreds of designs using their favorite beads. First, kids can find a design template in the app. Then, kids can simply apply their beads to the clear tray over the pattern to create the design from their beads. When it is time to fuse the beads, the tray easily lifts off so you can bring it to your ironing station.
Knit and Crochet
Red Heart Boutique Filigree
You might be familiar with the best-selling Red Heart Boutique Sashay line that lets you create fashion-forward knit and crochet projects in no time flat. At this year's CHA, they developed more project starter options that will make you look like super-knitter.
What's cool about it?
You know how you might knit or crochet squares or sections first then assemble them to create your project? Well start with Red Heart Boutique Filigree, and you already have pre-knit sections to work with. Simply "chain" the sections together to create shawls, scarves, and even blankets. As with the other products in the "Boutique" line, a full project (like a scarf) can often be completed with one skein in an hour or two.
Project Life by Becky Higgins
Who doesn't have boxes full of pictures tucked away in a closet? Project Life's innovative system uses themed journaling cards, albums, and specially-designed pocket pages to help you finally get those important pictures scrapbooked and record important personal stories. What's cool about it? The modular approach to scrapbooking makes the process really easy and takes out all the extra fussy stuff. Just great designs and your pictures and stories. Fabulous! The team just launched tons of new themes and designs and will be available at your favorite scrapbook retailers soon! (image credit: ProjectLife.com)
Look for all of these new products to be available in stores between March – June 2013.

Photo by Allan V. Hawkins Could be better, could be worse The Panama Canal's expansion is by far the largest of a series of public works projects that's keeping the Panamanian economy going. We are still a relatively poor country, and the gap in income distribution is one of the world's largest. We have a far right-wing government, to the extent that only Colombia, Honduras and Mexico are in the same area of the spectrum in this region. But if Ricardo Martinelli and Alberto Vallarino are for smashing labor unions, dispossessing poor rural communities and giving their land and water resources to the a few rich Panamanian families and multinational corporations, gutting the environmental laws through non-enforcement and establishing many aspects of a police state, there are certain things that go with the concept "right-wing" in the United States that don't apply here. Systematically destroy the public sector? Martinelli is not buying into that Tea Party notion, although you might get a reasonable argument that he is from the nation's teachers or health care workers and their unions. But that version of "The Washington Consensus" that mandated that Latin American countries must slash their public sectors to the bone and place all of their hope and faith in the market doesn't quite apply here. What we have is a more Keynesian than Friedmanite economic approach, in which hard economic times are softened by spending on public works. There are the canal expansion, the commuter rail system, the metropolitan area sewer system and several major road projects in the mix. The numbers of Panamanians directly hired are in the thousands but not the tens of thousands, but the wages of those who do get public works jobs are rippling through the economy. That's hardly all there is to the Panamanian economic scene, but the international bond rating services like what they see and two of the big ones have upgraded this country's bonds ratings. Standard & Poor's now gives us a BBB- rating, which is its lowest "investment grade" for government paper. They like Panama's medium term economic growth prospects and they like the fact that Martinelli has done something also anathema to the US right by raising taxes. The higher bond rating is a big deal in this region, where world financial markets treat most Latin American government securities as junk bonds. But by comparison Spain, which is in the grip of a major economic crisis, has a AAA rating. Spain's woes, and Europe's in general, are likely to affect us. It won't all be in one direction, though, just as the effects of the US crisis on Panama were not "pure." There will be people fleeing here with their money, and not all of them will be criminals. But against that, our second largest foreign aid donor has fallen upon hard times and some precarious Spanish and Italian companies are among the major Panama Canal expansion contractors so there could be some substantial disruptions if what's happening in Europe gets really bad. And of course, a recession in Europe means reduced imports to that continent and thus a contracted world shipping industry, which in turn affects our canal. The better bond rating, however, means a bit less money being paid in interest to foreign (and domestic) lenders. That might be spent to prop up the Panamanian economy a bit more, or saved for the inevitable more difficult times.
* * *
But everything
about the Panamanian economy is not strictly, shall we say, legal.
And maybe before we get further into that aspect, we ought to take a
musical break with Junior Murvin and come back to talk about
Ah yes, police and thieves --- and the guys who control the police, who
may be worse yet. Under US pressure, Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce
Golding broke his Jamaica Labor Party alliance with the Shower Posse, a
gang that's into dealing drugs on an international scale and which
controls parts of the Jamaican capital, and sent the army into the Tivoli Gardens
neighorhood that's part of his constituency to arrest the
gang's leader. There was massive destruction, more people died than the
government will admit, and the man they were trying to arrest got away.
Now there's a major political crisis, which may bring down the
government. If the "War on Drugs" is really a war, this was a terrible rout.
Just how heavy a social and political crisis is this for our Jamaican neighbors? Consider what the Times of London reported: A former senior police
officer urged the security forces to search the homes of politicians
and other
high-profile people for the fugitive --- despite a botched army raid on
home in
the high-class neighborhood of Kirkland Heights in the early hours of
that killed the brother of a former government minister. Reneto Adamas, the
retired senior police superintendent, told a meeting of the Rotary Club
Thursday: "[He may be hiding] at the house of the politicians, the
house of
certain people in society and there is a particular house that I have
respect for that I will not mention, but a word to the wise is
sufficient." So, what does that have to do with us? The Panamanian president's cousin --- the former treasurer of the president's political party --- is in prison in Mexico. He's charged with laundering money for the most vicious of Mexican drug gangs, the Beltran Leyva Cartel whose private army of enforcers, Los Zetas, is led by US-trained former soldiers and has carried out gangland hits within the United States. Despite the presence of US military forces here, there are evident strains in the US-Panamanian relationship. These may or may not have to do with the substance of the sensational allegations made in a series of articles in a leftist Costa Rican news website. They may have to do with other thugs who have been seen associated with the Martinelli administration. The Americans, who have a treaty commitment to defend the Panama Canal, certainly do not like the way that Martinelli has raised the waterway's profile as a target for the Osama bin Ladens of this world by using an enhanced security relationship with Israel as an occasion to taunt Arabs and Muslims in general. If the Obama administration believes that the Martinelli campaign received funds from the Beltran Leyva Cartel it could be as bad as Noriega days. Those who point to this or that sign to the contrary should look back at the history of the Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations' falling out with Noriega, and how until almost the very end you had different parts of the US government sending conflicting signals about the situation. I have heard it from various sources that the DEA is investigating the allegations about Martinelli and the drug smugglers, but those sources are far from direct and the DEA generally does not comment about ongoing investigations, so I just take those tales as rumors. Rumors for what purpose? That's another interesting question. Then, setting aside all of the substantial allegations as unknown, President Martinelli's reactions give rise to a separate set of concerns. Recall that early in the 2009 presidential campaign, Martinelli's adversaries began a mudslinging campaign that alleged that he has bipolar affective disorder --- "manic depression" by the old terminology --- and takes medicine for it. Martinelli first denied, and then turned it around with the "Los locos somos más" (There are more of us crazies) campaign slogan. Now I happen to come from a long line of bipolars and don't believe that the condition necessarily disqualifies a person from being president. If a good control strategy is used, it shouldn't be an impediment. However, when the stories started appearing in Costa Rica's Nuestro Pais and then were repeated by the likes of FRENADESO Noticias and reported by small media like this website and larger ones like La Estrella, the Martinelli team's reactions were at first incoherent or provably wrong. They blamed the stories on the PRD, then on communists, then on anarchists. And then the Costa Rican reporter said on a Panamanian radio station something that might have been factually incorrect about an Israeli role in canal security. It turned into a euphoric "gotcha" moment for the president and his men, who declared that it was a lie that put that Panama Canal at risk, and that they were going to file charges in the Costa Rican courts. Say WHAT? The president of Panama is going to bring a case in which it will be necessary to discuss Panama Canal security arrangements in a foreign court? That's bizarre. That's nuts. That's an act of manic impulsiveness, and a sign that Martinelli's inner circle doesn't have anybody who can calm him down and convince him to think twice, then think again. The nature of the people around Martinelli again has its parallels to Noriega times, when after the death of his older brother there wasn't anyone who could talk sense to the strongman. So are there an awful lot of us nutcases out and about? You'd better believe it, and you should also know that we are not the only ones who see something that's frightening in the way that the president acts.

Open the way.
Let's make way for a musical interlude with one of Panama's musical
talents, singer Any Tovar:
If the political situation is more volatile than presidential approval ratings as shown in the polls suggest, and the economic situation is more uncertain than the judgments of bond rating agencies suggest, and the doubling of Panama's murder rate over the past six years or so has a lot of people on edge, we still have a vibrant cultural scene here. But an American jazz musician and blogger who lives down here pointed out to me in the course of an email discussion the other day that it's tough making a living when going out to clubs to hear bands doesn't seem to be a part of the national lifestyle. I wonder to what extent that's a passing phase, a function not only of the current crime wave but of a broken transportation system that makes it well nigh impossible to find a bus at night and often difficult to get a cab as well. I know that despite my poor man's protective measures, I get uptight when stuck waiting for a cab and carrying an expensive camera at night. However, despite any and all such concerns, there are cultural scenes blooming around the country, even in the hardscrabble city of Colon. A few days after these words are written there will be a press conference at which details of the 2011 Panama Jazz Festival will be announced, and my advice to jazz fans in cold northerly climes is not to let the sharp increase in gangsters killing one another over drug business scare you away from this. Just make sure that you have your transportation to and especially from the festival venues arranged in advance, so that you are not wandering around a strange city at night looking for a bus or a cab.

What about the stability of President Martinelli's coalition?
I'm not talking about the man's standing in the polls, which is fairly high, probably heading down a bit, but probably can be counted upon to maintain itself as more positive than negative unless and until some great crisis besets Panama. I'm also not playing shrink and getting into any more speculation about the man's emotional stability than circumstances alluded to above would warrant. I'm talking about the base from whence his ability to govern arises, and his ability to put together a political force that survives as such as his term comes to an end. Marcos González gave Martinelli problems about some gangster pictures, and both the cabinet and the government caucus rallied around the president, the former showing their faces alongside Government and Justice Minister José Raúl Mulino at a press conference denouncing González's claims, the latter by stripping González of his leadership positions in the legislature. But the legislature has balked at Martinelli's proposal to have plebiscites over issues he chooses. They have had no problem with riding roughshod over the constitution, but now they are complaining that Martinelli would do this, to the National Assembly's detriment. I think that Martinelli's plebiscite concept is a bit of demagoguery that emanates from a control freak mind. But it's also a recognition that the Panamanian political system is so totally tied up that most people don't believe in it, so if they have a problem with the government they resort to things like blocking the road. The legislators think that their move to criminalize road blockages takes care of that problem, and they don't see the more systemic problem that Martinelli does. Martinelli would provide a carefully controlled escape valve, whereas the legislators tend to have more simple, more grasping, more short-term minds and they want to block anything that might give rise to any change that might affect their prerogatives. And about Marcos González --- might that not have just been about his son getting but only holding onto a well-paid hack job for a month? Isn't the legislator, after all, a product of the notoriously thuggish taxi syndicate politics? Isn't he historically a guy who "seen his opportunities and took 'em," as in, for example, the National Bus Terminal? Could be, but notice that Martinelli fired Rumba Alfaro, the notorious go-between for an undercover reporter looking for underage prostitutes who got a top job in the Ministry of Government and Justice by way of his relationship with Mulino. Notice as well that Martinelli let his appointed governor of Colon fire the mayor of Colon city --- who was subsequently convicted of an old vehicular manslaughter charge and given a prison term which is most likely going to keep him from coming back. Notice also that Martinelli stripped his choice for mayor of Panama City, Bosco Vallarino, of his powers, prerogatives and duties with respect to collecting the garbage. (I got a call from a reader the other day, when the city announced that it was going to take another round of bids for the purchase of 51 garbage trucks. He's a businessman interested in bidding, but the city's and national government's web pages with bidding information were not functioning. So was Bosco the Clown trying to pull one more dim-witted "fast one" in public sanitation, which turned out to be one too many for Martinelli to digest? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.) Vallarino is the stuff of which satirical musical plays are made, but he exists in his position because Martinelli has thrown his weight around to rescue him from the consequence of a long train of illegal acts. Why's that? I think for the benefit of Vice President Juan Carlos Varela and the Panameñista Party. If the deal was that Martinelli was the unified anti-PRD candidate in 2009 and that the Panameñista choice would be at the top of the unified slate in 2014, Varela would want a Panameñista mayor to hire all sorts of party members to political patronage jobs, but he wouldn't want someone who might use the mayor's office as a springboard to launce a primary challenge. Indeed, nobody thinks of Bosco as presidential material. But think about it. Martinelli now controls the Public Ministry through the compliant Giuseppe Bonissi. He got Bonissi by way of having Attorney General Ana Matilde Gómez removed pending trial for tapping the phones of some crime victims who asked her to tap them, without a court order. But Bosco Vallarino staged a raid on a brothel with reporters in tow, but without a proper warrant. Bonissi could have him removed for that in an instant, or could find a half-dozen other grounds without stretching things as much as the were stretched to get Gómez. I think that eventually the alliance between Martinelli and the Panameñistas will break down because the rank-and-file in Varela's party will demand it. However, my expectations have been that we will see this only as the time to select 2014 presidential candidates draws near. Lately, though, Martinelli has declared that he thinks that the opposition PRD, which counts on nearly one-third of Panamanian adults as members, will disappear. FRENADESO says that it will form a leftist political party and become the real opposition, but they don't seem to be either moving to do that or talking with other folks on the left about founding such a party as anything more than an also-ran sectarian electoral expression. So if the PRD is beaten down by trials and convictions of many of its leaders, and FRENADESO is beaten back by its own mistakes and by police truncheons, does that leave Ricardo Martinelli as the party leader of a one-party Cambio Democratico state? I would expect that Panameñistas would have other ideas and that if Juan Carlos Varela doesn't share those ideas, he's likely to get ousted as party leader. Right now there are certain signs of tension in the ruling coalition. The removal of Bosco Vallarino and his replacement by the vice mayor, Cambio Democratico member Roxana Méndez, would escalate these tensions --- even though there are many Panameñistas who consider Bosco to be a total embarrassment. So paradoxically, even though Bosco Vallarino is the most obvious example of the ruling alliance's pathology, his excision would probably be a sign of the Martinelli coalition's sundering.

I just fail at late game as nidalee although I usually get very good early game.I just dont know how to carry late game :/. If anyone can give me some tips..i would be really grategul.Thanks
You don't. Nidalee is excellent earlygame,good midgame but fails lategame.
Unless I'm mistaken, the next patch will decrease performance midgame and increase performance lategame.
late game you want to have a good ammount of AP built up, and if blue buff is unavailable to you or someone on your team needs it more, you'll want mana or regen as well as Nidalee's natural mana pool is a joke. Throw spears and poke enemies for 30% hp a hit, keep the fights going in your favor by healing like a Soraka on steroids, and if the chance shows itself, go cougar and do 1 quick burst on an enemy that gets too close to you.
TLDR: Nida doesn't fail late game. Just stack AP and position yourself well. First of all: you're a squishy. Your early and mid game dominance can allow you to get higher level and better items so you hop around in cougar form and eat people. In late game team fights, though, if you don't get at least 2 defensive items, you'll be focused down in an instant. Second of all: AP nida scales AMAZINGLY with AP, I play her with ap per level yellows, blues and quints just because of this. I build deathcap as a first item just because of this (usually morelio's as second). And the result is 1k spears and 600 hp heals mid-game. That being said, what you need to do in late game phase is: 1. Have a blue. 2. Have 40% CDR with the blue. 3. Your team should push (even if losing) but NOT initiate. You need to prolong the poking phase as much as you can, because this is where nidalee shines - the poking phase. Spearing away their squishies' health, while keeping your teammates up with that amazing heal, thus giving your team an enormous advantage. In team fights: they will happen, however long the poking phase is. Here you need to have good positioning, heal and spear, until the ultimates and nukes have been spent. Once everyone is middish to low hp and a few people have died, you're allowed to pounce over them and chase/finish them. This is how I play her, and even if I fail early and mid game(happens to the best of us), I become extremely useful late game. I remember a particular game: 1v2-ing top, resulting in 0-5 pretty early (I rarely fail so much, it's just that the jungler refused to gank top and I refused to let some scrubs zone me out). I finished the game 7-8-27, and whether anyone realized or not, I carried my team. Enemies focus someone in a team fight? BAM, +700 hp, most of their progress deleted. It's extremely discouraging and annoying to see that. So annoying in fact, that they started to try to focus me first in team fights. In the decisive fight at baron, I managed to kite their carry, which pretty much won us the game (he raged: "noob nidalee taking exhaust"). Don't chase Nidalee. Fools.
^ What he said, you just gotta farm and play smart
I main nidalee, and all i can say is that late game you do NOT jump in the middle of the teamfight trying to claw someone down. That mistake has killed me a couple of times. Late game you mostly use your Spear of ultimate harassment and heal people. Occasionally try to jump on the squishies in cougar form and take them down. Oh and Guinsoo's Rageblade is a must on nidalee, i hope that you know that.

O'Farrell slams striking public servants
PUBLISHED: 08 Oct 2012 11:23:00 | UPDATED: 08 Oct 2012 11:24:15PRINT EDITION: 08 Oct 2012NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has suggested striking workers in the state are hampering economic growth across the nation. Photo: Wolter Peeters
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has taken a pot shot at striking public sector workers, suggesting they are undermining the entire Australian economy.
Up to 40,000 members of the Public Service Association (PSA) are expected to stage four-hour stop work meetings across NSW on Monday in protest at public sector job losses and a 2.5 per cent government-imposed wage cap.
In his opening remarks to an Australia-Japan business conference in Sydney, Mr O'Farrell suggested the striking workers were hampering economic growth across the nation.
"I want to start by saying a couple of things that ought to be truisms in this country, but as demonstrated by a public sector strike in this city today, are not," he said.
"The first one is that without a strong economy there isn't much of a future anyone can offer citizens of any country.
"A strong economy clearly promotes jobs, a strong economy clearly generates wealth and a strong economy of course provides those opportunities for citizens to seize."
In a thinly veiled reference to the strikes, Mr O'Farrell said strong economies were only possible if governments lived within their means and didn't spend beyond their means.
He said the Australian economy could only be strong if the NSW economy performed well.
The main PSA stop work meeting was due to take place at Sydney's Town Hall in the CBD, where about 1000 workers will vote on a resolution to ramp up their campaign against Mr O'Farrell's government.
PSA general secretary John Cahill said the union had tried talking to the government but had been ignored in its fight against the wage cap and job cuts.
"Maybe they'll listen to thousands of people demonstrating right across the state," Mr Cahill said in a statement.
The Industrial Relations Commission (IRC) on Friday ordered that the PSA refrain from holding industrial action.
NSW Treasurer Mike Baird said the PSA's decision to ignore the IRC was disappointing and would cause significant disruption across the public service.
Striking workers will include prison officers, school support staff, park rangers, child protection case workers, disability support workers, IT and human resources staff across all NSW government departments.

God seperated the races.<quoted text>
Oh, Texan... you agree with me on many more things than just this... you've just been too bull headed to admit it until now.
Still though, I bet you cling to the Bible that you have not read completely.
I figured out when I was just a little kind... that the Bible was created to harness the power of man.
It's got a lot of truth in it... but just enough deceit to garner control for those who wish to exploit us.
I was not influenced by anyone else on my view of the Bible... both sides of my family are Bible believers... and one side of my family is Pentecostal.
Here in Los Angeles... I live on a street that is full of churches... on most any night of the week you can walk down the sidewalk and pass from one group of "believers" to another just singing away without any lack of a tune in between... their singing just kind of blends together.
Each individual church has a little bit different take on their beliefs... but they all cling to that Bible... and divide themselves from each other because of it.
God wants to bring us together... not divide us.
In my view... a street full of churches is a shame.
I do not go to church to worship God... I worship and serve him him wherever I am.
Herbert W. Armstrong
The Scriptures clearly condemn race-mixing, reveals God segregated the nations and peoples, commands us to not commit adultery (adulterate, mix, weaken), to honor our parents (ethnic heritage), to not make an idol out of our feelings and bastard beliefs, to not covet what He has forbidden (race-mixing), we're not to murder (race-mixing destroys both races involved and despises diversity), etc.
Race-mixing is unnatural! This information was common sense for generations, but now, as in the days of Noah and in the days of Lot, confusion reigns. Thankfully, all will be restored in God's good time.
Deuteronomy 32:8
8 When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations,
When He separated the sons of Adam [even though we're all family],
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the children of Israel.
Acts 17:26
26 And [although] He [God] has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth [we're all human]...[yet He] has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings...

sidebandsideband, any frequency component of a modulated carrier wave other than the frequency of the carrier wave itself, i.e., any frequency added to the carrier as a result of modulation; sidebands carry the actual information while the carrier contributes none at all. Those frequency components that are higher than the carrier frequency are know as upper sidebands; those lower are called lower sidebands. The upper and lower sidebands contain equivalent information; thus only one needs to be transmitted. Such single-sideband signals are very efficient in their use of the frequency spectrum when compared to standard amplitude modulation (AM) signals. See radio.

Scriptonite Daily: Voices from the Occupation - D15: A Grounds Eye View. In the week that TIME Magazine, made 'The Protester' its Person of the Year , the Occupy movement held Occupy Everywhere Day (D15). Occupy Everywhere day, or D15, encouraged sneaky, cheeky acts of civil disobedience around the globe, and got it. You might not have seen it on the news, but this article takes you along for a journey through the day of Occupy London, who spent the day reclaiming public spaces, and bringing festive cheer to the streets of London.
One of the issues raised by the Occupy Movement is the growing erosion of public space. In places like London, there are few open, free spaces to join together as a community and remember you are just that, a community. A Tale of trouble. Introduction The Space Hijackers are a group of Anarchitects which was set up at the beginning of 1999.
Our group is dedicated to battling the constant oppressive encroachment onto public spaces of institutions, corporations and urban planners. We oppose the way that public space is being eroded and replaced by corporate profit making space. Private Public Space at City Hall. Hot on the heels of the success of our first outing, we were keen to take our No NO NO sign back into the city.
The sign highlights the hypocrisy of urban public/private space - where land that appears public is actually owned by private corporations. On the surface, London is a city full of open spaces bustling with shoppers and tourists. If you scratch beneath it, you soon discover that this openness is a scam. If you're a local council, selling off land to private developers is an easy way to raise capital. Untitled Document. NO NO NO at the Truman Brewery Complex.
Brick Lane - East London - May 2011 Following on from our previous Private/Public space projects which have focussed on the gentrification of London and the erosion of civil liberties that that entails, the Space Hijackers headed out to the Truman Brewery complex on Brick Lane to enforce the rules that are implicit, and perhaps not so implicit in such places.
Stopping people from drinking, smoking, talking, loitering, laughing and even reading our sign! East London is a massive building site with regeneration projects, the olympics, the encroachment of the city and more changing the face of our city. Paternoster Square, Behind Enemy Lines... Such a moment occurred when the Occupy Movement declared their intention to occupy the London Stock Exchange as part of a global protest against the Financial Industry.
As we all know, post economic crash, the government spokes people for the banks who run this country implemented a system of austerity, cutting public services and ripping up hard won legal protections in order to feed the greedy banks. A global protest was called, and quicker than the blink of an eye, Paternoster Square public access was withdrawn. A hefty police barricade, security checks and 24 hour surveillance ensured that the only people using the square would be those who the private owners deemed worthy (un-moral) enough. The Occupy Movement : The Public Perception ... OccupyLSX has been a whisper in the street.
Since October 15th, as well as regular visits to the @OccupyLSX camp at St Pauls, the @OccupyLFS at Finsbury Square, and more recently the wonderful @BankOfIdeas, I have been engaging, with others, the flood of misinformation on Twitter and other Social Media platforms, as well as promoting the Occupy Movement as a whole; blogging, discussing, following and spreading the news about various issues. Two things struck me initially, and have continued to do so: The clear public support for the Occupy Movement's position on most of the issues; and the relative *lack* of public engagement on the methods, tactics and strategy used by the Movement worldwide.
In short: They mostly agree with what we say; but they don't always approve of what we do. Public support, even media support *on the issues* is quite clearly in favour. Occupy London's critical weakness is everyone's sore point. Occupy London faces a barrage of criticism, well made, from the capitalist establishment, be it media, institutions or politicians.
Dressed up in the language of lifestyle laughter, they skilfully mock the entire Occupy movement. We are crusties, they say, we are jobless. Business as Usual. Guidelines. Occupy LSX. Occupy LSX.

Sleepless at Occupy London Stock Exchange. Occupy: London Stock Exchange. Occupy London camp: 'We're here indefinitely' Occupy London protest: on the steps of St Paul's cathedral. Occupy London: A Street level view: 'How clear are we all on what concencus actually is?' Events Calendar » Tent City University. Wake Up London Sangha. The protesters seem more adult than politicians and plutocrats. The mayor of London demands a law against it to stop tent villages "erupting like boils" across the capital.
If you lived like Boris, you too might be a bit paranoid about boils. The prime minister interrupts a trip to Australia to announce that the government is poised to intervene. Meantime, the Church of England is split down the aisle about whether the Christian thing is to embrace the protesters encamped on the doorstep of its cathedral – after all, St Paul was a tent-maker and Christ had a robust approach to moneychangers – or to join forces with the mammonites who run the City of London and have the protest camp evicted. Occupy London: Your experiences. Occupied Spaces. 7 November 2011Last updated at 17:22 As part of the worldwide Occupy Movement protesters have been camped outside St Paul's Cathedral in London since 15 October looking to highlight economic inequality, social injustice, corporate greed, and the lack of transparency and accountability in the City.
Initially the group had wanted to occupy the area outside the London Stock Exchange which sits alongside the Cathedral, but the police stopped that from happening and so the Occupy London Stock Exchange (OLSX) protesters then turned to St Paul's Churchyard, the square in front of the cathedral, planning to set up camp. The camp now stands at around 200 tents and has attracted many photographers, from those working for the news wire agencies through to students of the medium. Photographer Ben Roberts decided to join those documenting the camp but rather than picturing the residents he took a slightly different approach to the majority of the others working there. Occupied Spaces Ben Roberts. Occupied Spaces On the 15th October 2011, protestors representing the global Occupy movement set up a semi-permanent camp outside St.
Paul's Cathedral in central London. Occupy the London Stock Exchange. Occupy London: Traders' fears over St Paul's demo. 20 October 2011Last updated at 18:00 By Debabani Majumdar BBC News, London As many protesters enjoyed a lie-in in their tents in the shadow of St Paul's Cathedral, suit-clad office-goers walked past, some casting glances at the unusual tent city.
While some passers-by looked on with amusement, others looked somewhat annoyed and refused to give their opinion about the site. Private security guards and Metropolitan Police officers have set up metal barricades, blocking access to Paternoster Square, which houses the London Stock Exchange.

(Updates with City of London statement in eight paragraph.) Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- A unit of British Land Plc applied for a court order to stop Occupy London protesters camped outside St. Paul's Cathedral from moving onto its property.
The lawsuit was filed at a London court Nov. 2 by Broadgate Estates Ltd., a property-management firm that runs sites including Paternoster Square, where Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and the London Stock Exchange Group Plc have offices, and Broadgate Circle, which houses UBS AG operations. Occupy London protesters, inspired by a similar campaign in the U.S. targeting Wall Street, have pitched more than 200 tents outside the cathedral and set up camp in Finsbury Square in the city's financial district. The church rescinded a threat to have them evicted on Nov. 1 and promised discussions on the issues raised by the movement. The_occupied_times_of_london.pdf (application/pdf Object) Musical flashmob at St Paul's Occupy London Stock Exchange protest. Occupy London Stock Exchange protesters asked to leave by cathedral officials. The anti-global finance protest camp set up next to St Paul's cathedral a week ago has been asked to leave by cathedral officials who said they were being forced to shut the building for safety reasons.
In a statement, the dean of St Paul's, the Right Reverend Graeme Knowles, said the decision to close the cathedral – one of London's most celebrated tourist attractions – was "unprecedented in modern times", but added that there was no choice. Knowles said he had written an open letter to the Occupy the London Stock Exchange protesters requesting that they "recognise the huge issues facing us at this time and asking them to leave the vicinity of the building so that the cathedral can reopen as soon as possible".

White gold is typically alloyed with nickel, zinc, silver, and/or palladium to give it its white color and is often plated with rhodium—a shiny, white metal that is a member of the platinum family—to give it an even whiter appearance and protect it from color loss. Although white gold is not subject to tarnish, it may develop a slightly yellow color over time as a result of its 75% yellow gold content. If this happens, white gold's original beauty can be restored by a simple re-plating. Even though gold is resilient, there are important measures you can take to keep you jewelry looking as good as new. To keep gold shiny and scratch-free, store it in a soft cloth bag or fabric-lined jewelry box. Gold should be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, using a non-metallic, soft brush (like a toothbrush). To retain gold's luster, make sure to keep it away from harmful and corrosive chemicals such as bleach, ammonia and chlorine. And always use a soft, lint-free cloth—never paper towels—to dry the jewelry.Caring For White Gold Jewelry

Water conservation is important for plants that maintain physiologically active foliage during prolonged periods of drought. A variety of mechanisms for water conservation exist including stomatal regulation, foliage loss, above- and below-ground allocation patterns, size of xylem vessels and leaf pubescence. Using the results of a field and simulation study with Artemisia tridentata in the Great Basin, USA, we propose an additional mechanism of water conservation that can be used by plants in arid and semi-arid environments following pulses of water availability. Precipitation redistributed more uniformly in the soil column by roots (hydraulic redistribution of water downward) slows the rate at which this water can subsequently be taken up by plants, thus prolonging water availability during periods of drought. By spreading out water more uniformly in the soil column at lower water potentials following precipitation events, water use is reduced due to lower soil conductivity. The greater remaining soil water and more uniform distribution result in higher plant predawn water potentials and transpiration rates later in the drought period. Simulation results indicate that plants can benefit during drought periods from water storage following both summer rain events (small summer pulses) and overwinter recharge (large spring pulse). This mechanism of water conservation may aid in sustaining active foliage, maintaining root-soil hydraulic connectivity, and increasing survival probability of plants which remain physiologically active during periods of drought.

Hi Sylvia, you are most welcome! I'm happy to take headstone photos. The other Beach headstone in the photo was of Charles A Beach, Norma J Beach, Darlene Beach and Sandi L. Ballentine. The last two died on the same day. I have posted the pictures already. There is one other Beach headstone I haven't posted but will either tonight or tomorrow. It is of Raleigh, Flora A, Hazel and Stuart A Beach. The other headstone was within 50 - 100 ft of the other two.
