NBC's American Odyssey attempts to woo viewers who have given up on the networks for cable but it misses its mark.
The video of 2014's memorable "Remembering Roger" panel at Ebertfest.
I've been back and forth on "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead." At the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, I thought it had more spirit and audacity than most of the films in a slow year. But then, seeing it again, I found myself focusing on its cuteness and contrivance: It's so overwritten it becomes an exercise in style rather than a story about its characters. On balance, I think it's an interesting miss, but a movie you might enjoy if (a) you don't expect a masterpiece, and (b) you like the dialogue in Quentin Tarantino movies.
I hasten to add that "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead" has apparently not been directly influenced by Q. T. When I suggested in a dispatch from Cannes that it was "Quentonian" (or should it be "Tarantinesque"?), I got a note from Gary Fleder, who directed it, pointing out that the screenplay by Scott Rosenberg was written long before "Reservoir Dogs" saw the light of day.
I can believe that. Rosenberg's screenplay, however, probably springs from some of the same impulses that inspired Tarantino. The characters talk like they were raised on 1940s noir movies, and then given a quick course in advertising copywriting. Every other line sounds like a would-be catchphrase: "Most girls, they plod. You glide along." "I want you to brace this guy." "I lost a toe the other day." "Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but someday soon." Sorry - that one's from "Casablanca." But Andy Garcia uses it here.
As the movie opens, Jimmy the Saint (Garcia) is running a service where dying people can videotape advice to their loved ones.
("Treat them like dirt, and they come running," one dad tells his son about women.) The service is losing money, and the notes are held by the Man With the Plan (Christopher Walken), a right-wing homophobe who runs the Denver crime scene from his breath-powered wheelchair (one wonders exactly where Walken would begin if he ever wanted to satirize himself).
The MWTP will forgive the debt, if Jimmy the Saint does a job for him. The Man's son has been charged with child molesting after a daylight raid on a school playground, and the Man thinks he might settle down if he got his old girlfriend back. Therefore, Jimmy's job is to intercept the old girlfriend's new boyfriend on his way into town, and "brace" him.
Jimmy is a former criminal, now trying to go straight, but he's forced to take the job. So he rounds up some old associates who make Tarantino's reservoir dogs look like brush salesmen. They include Critical Bill (Treat Williams), who hasn't beaten up a live person in years - "not since I found myself that exercise program," which consists of beating up corpses in the morgue; Pieces (Christopher Lloyd), a porno projectionist with leprosy, whose toes and other parts are falling off, and Franchise and Easy Wind (William Forsythe and Bill Nunn), who are marginally more mainstream.
Can these five guys "brace" the boyfriend? They devise a plan worthy of the Brinks Job, including a stolen police cruiser and the impersonation of police officers. Unfortunately, the boyfriend isn't too impressed by Pieces when he's hauled over on the road into town.
In the movie's funniest scene, he wonders why the police department hasn't issued him a rain hat, and then notices the missing fingers and calls the bluff ("Tell me, Officer Leper . . .").
The movie has not one but two romances, both involving Jimmy the Saint. He falls hard for Dagney (Gabrielle Anwar) in a bar, smelling her hair and informing her, "Girls who glide need guys to make them thump." But when the situation gets dangerous, he returns to an old friend, Lucinda (Fairuza Balk), a hooker with a face like a wounded Judy Garland - but a heart, of course, of gold.
All of this action is carefully monitored from a local diner by a retired hood named Joe (Jack Warden). He supplies sort of a Greek chorus of commentary on the action, not really necessary, although it provides for dialogue while Jimmy the Saint is gulping down milk shakes for his bad stomach.
"Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead" is not a successful movie on its own terms. It's too cute and talky, and too obviously mannered to develop convincing momentum. But as an exercise it's sometimes funny and always energetic, and it shows that Rosenberg can write and Fleder can direct. Now if they can just dial down a little.
A film teacher looks back on "The Breakfast Club," partly through the eyes of her students.
The conversation about Woody Allen's personal and professional lives intertwining continues, but to what end?

http://www.vladtv.com - The saga continues. After talking to Jim Jones earlier in the week about the authenticity of his Ray Allen Air Jordan 11 PE's he uploaded to IG last week, the big debate began on social media, where he was accused of having a fake pair of PE's. During our discussion Jim told us about how he acquired his limited shoes and how he wasn't confident in his J's being legit. Of course we needed to investigate ourselves, and who better to distinguish the authenticity of a player exclusive then a sneakerhead who owns them. We decided to bring on board sneakerhead Soley Ghost to check out Jim's kicks via Facetime where we got coverage of Capo's 11's and both of their stances on the shoe. While there wasn't a clear confirmation of the shoes being 100% real or fake, we all agreed to bring the sneakers in the studio for further investigation. Check out the video from the studio above and stay tuned for our detailed review of Jim's 11's coming soon.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 19 - Autopilot FTW or FTL
Written by Justin Wong — February 24, 2014 at 10:13 p.m. PST
With a show of online head nods, how many people who are reading this remembers how did they win or how did they lose?
I certainly can't remember every detail, but I know that my friends remind me of specific situations, because they are watching the match while I am playing the match...
And why is that? It's because when you are playing a match, everyone tends to autopilot specific sequences, which can be good or bad, based on the player you are going against — but in the end its not something to be proud of.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 18 - Changing styles
Written by Justin Wong — February 18, 2014 at 5:12 p.m. PST
One thing about growing as a player is to try to have multiple styles for your character.
Now this part isn't very easy, because if you are usually an defensive player, than most of the time your offense is not amazing. Same goes with having a strong offense, but that doesn't mean you should ignore having a good defense as well.
In this chapter, I will be explaining the benefits of having different styles and why it will help you win in certain scenarios/match ups.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 17 - Interrupting the download
Written by Justin Wong — December 1, 2013 at 9:48 p.m. PST
I watch a lot of fighting game streams and there are many times where I see people in the chat type "Downloaded" or "He got figured out."
This chapter will focus on how to distinguish that YOU are being downloaded, and once you do realize that you are being downloaded, how to interrupt the download, and continue on playing YOUR game.
Many people do not even realize that the download has already begun. Here is a common one that happens a lot but people do not realize it.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 16 - Street Fighter X Tekken tier list
Written by Justin Wong — October 8, 2013 at 11:54 a.m. PDT
Since Capcom Cup is in a couple of months and this tier list was long overdue I decided to work on it now.
It's to give you guys some information maybe that you need to win or some motivation to pick up a new character.
And please remember this is my opinion on all these characters and anyone can disagree or agree.
I will have a grade system running from S+, S, S-, A+, A, A- B+, B, B-, C+ C, C- and D with S+ being highest and D being lowest.
I will be providing which gem set should be best with the characters. There are only 5 tournament default gems and will be numbering them from 1-5.
Example: 1 is the three power gems and 2 is the three defense power gems and etc. We will start with the Capcom Cast first. (Will not be doing Toro, Kuro, Megaman, and Pac-Man).

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 15 - Reading your opponent
Written by Justin Wong — September 1, 2013 at 9:26 p.m. PDT
There will be times when you will fight someone completely brand new, and you do not have the data on how to deal with newly fought opponents.
This chapter will talk about on what kind of things that you can do to figure out what type of opponent you will be playing against.
At a tournament not everyone you come across will be a top player, good player, average player or even a bad player. How can you determine what type of player is a "Johnny Doughnuts?" Now if you think about what the highest level of players can do, they usually have the following qualities.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 14 - Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tier list
Written by Justin Wong — June 4, 2013 at 1:36 p.m. PDT
Hey guys, this time this tier list will consist of the cast in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Now before I start I just want to say this is my opinion on all these characters and anyone can disagree or agree.
In the partner section, the people listed there can be an assist that would be helpful or they can use the assist to help their game. For example: Wolverine loves Tatsu assist but Akuma loves Dr. Doom assist. You might see a lot of Doctor Dooms, Vergils in those sections, just a heads up. =p
I will have a grade system running from S+, S, S-, A+, A, A- B+, B, B-, C+ C, C- and D with S+ being highest and D being lowest.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 13 - Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 tier list
Written by Justin Wong — May 3, 2013 at 8:55 p.m. PDT
Hey everyone, these next few articles will be interesting. I will be providing my opinion on how each of the characters in Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 rank, before branching into other games.
I'll give an overview of what their pros and cons are, and who would be a good partner if you need a secondary character.
I will have a grade system running from S+, S, S-, A+, A, A- B+, B, B- and C, with S+ being highest and C being lowest.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 12 - Online Warriors
Written by Justin Wong — March 19, 2013 at 8:35 p.m. PDT
I have been playing a lot of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 and Street Fighter X Tekken v2013 online recently and its been really fun.
I played many high ranked players and they know their frame traps, setups, option selects and match ups. They would probably do very well in tournament.
Now, the downside of being an online warrior is that you will have bad habits and you will also be guessing a lot on wake up, jumping a lot or mashing an invincible move out all the time.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 11 - Trending
Written by Justin Wong — March 4, 2013 at 9:43 p.m. PST
Every region or area, there will be that person who is the best on their block. That person can also be a trend setter on what the community will use or what does that specific community deem top tier. Knowing this information is extremely important if you like to travel a lot for tournaments or if you are an up and comer player who doesn't know much outside of YOUR community.
Here is a list of examples that you can see what I mean. There may be more players I might have forgotten but you will understand the concept.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 10 - Secondary characters
Written by Justin Wong — December 27, 2012 at 11:37 a.m. PST
Having a secondary character is a very good thing, because there will always be a bad match up for your main fighter. The only problem is that most of the time, your secondary character might not be on par with your main character. Even the best players in the world have secondary characters at their disposal. Here is a few that you might know off:
MCZ|Daigo - Ryu, Yun (Secondary)
WW|Infiltration - Akuma, Gouken (Secondary)
EG|Justin Wong - Rufus, Adon (Secondary)
AVM|Gamerbee - Adon, Yun (Secondary)
BT|Dieminion - Guile, E. Honda (Secondary)
LU|Alex Valle - Ryu, M. Bison (Secondary)
WW|Ryan Hart - Sagat, Yun (Secondary)

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 9 - What did I do wrong?
Written by Justin Wong — November 23, 2012 at 11:36 a.m. PST
You're ready for the tournament and you believe you will beat some top players, make top 8 or even win the tournament. But then something happens... You don't beat any top players, or make top 8 or even win the tournament at all.
I think a lot of players have potential talent and they could possibly be the next top player, but they might have the jitters and choke in tournament. You think to yourself that wasn't me playing up there, I usually do a lot better when I am playing casuals in my boxers at home.
Here are some things you need to do to improve at the next tournament.
1. Have a video recording of all your matches, win and losses.
2. Study them and try to realize the faults in the matches.
3. Think about what you could have done better (a more damaging combo).
4. Practice against the technique that caused your loss.
5. Run it back the next tournament.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 8 - Here comes a new game
Written by Justin Wong — September 12, 2012 at 10:36 a.m. PDT
There has been a lot of fighting games that have came out after the release of Street Fighter 4. We have Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat 9, Street fighter X Tekken, Skullgirls, King of Fighters 13 and many more.
A lot of the times, the majority of people are big fighting games fans and would love to play multiple fighting titles well at tournaments. All too often, it takes too much time to absorb the fighting game knowledge from that game and apply it when it comes time to play in a tournament.
I will be giving some tips on how to approach a new game and how to learn it quickly.

The next couple of chapters, I will be focusing on how to find your team or character(s) in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012, Street Fighter X Tekken and whatever games that YOU guys want me to explain to the best of my ability on how to pick characters.
It is really hard to find a team that fits your particular style in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I want to break down how I feel a character should be played, by separating them into three categories; Rush Down, Runaway/Keep away and Safe Rush — the latter of which meaning they can do both rush down and runaway/keep away.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 5 - Juggling multiple games
Written by Justin Wong — April 14, 2012 at 6:39 p.m. PDT
As everyone knows, there are so many different types of fighting games, and its hard to play all of them. It is difficult to change from a fast pace Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 mindset to an Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 mindset, etc. The most common flaw is that many people leave traces of their SSF4 AE v2012 gameplay in their UMvC3 gameplay (I won't blow up any names *laughs*).
You can tell when you see someone just sit there and try to block a dangerous mixup in UMvC3. In my opinion, when you are playing a game like Marvel, I believe that you should always be moving with your character as fast as possible. Mobility is super important in Marvel, while in SSF4 AE v2012, sitting back and defending is far more important.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 4 - Down for the Count
Written by Justin Wong — December 9, 2011 at 10:08 p.m. PST
There comes to a point where a player has reached a certain level that they cannot plateau any higher. Now they are desperately doing worse, not as confident as before, and their drive is slowly drifting away. You practiced your combos in the training room, you beat the computer senseless a million times, and you have exposed yourself in a tournament environment. What else is missing? Why am I doing worse? It's an easy answer that most people don't realize. Your love of the game is lost. All you want to do now is to win and prove yourself to the community that you're a top player.
This is a very common situation for lots of players, but having love for the game or for your character will show a lot more signs of improvement than someone whose only interest is to win. If you look at the player DJ Huoshen on how he play and how he reacts to things. You can tell that he loves to play with the team he uses; Felicia/Skrull/Taskmaster. He loves this game and he takes the game as it is. He understands that the game is cheap and his characters have a high chance of losing but he makes it work and still comes out on top. Why? Because he loves to play the game. He doesn't just care about winning. Winning is nice but staying true to your heart means a lot more and that's where winning matters the most.
This obviously doesn't mean that if you pick the character you like, you will win all your matches. There are broken things in every game that will just prevent your success.
but as long as you tried your best and your love in the game will be there, you will have a much more clearer outlook on things and what little things to improve on for your next match, tournament, and etc.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 3 - Exposure to Pressure
Written by Justin Wong — November 20, 2011 at 10:52 p.m. PST
One of the hardest things to achieve is being able to play the way you want to play under a huge amount of pressure. Some players love the pressure and some players despise it. I personally love playing under pressure. I believe that I make some of the best comebacks when I am under pressure which is how the "Wong Factor" came up. Many players have gotten some awesome comeback victories when a huge crowd is watching. We have Peter "Bionic Arm" Rosas, Daigo "Lets Go Justin" Umehara and many more.
In order to see if you can play under pressure, you can do the following things.
Play on an online stream such as Peaceful Jay or Shoryuken.
Travel to a local tourney and see how well you do in the tourney with actual people.
Travel to a major (EVO, Season Beatings, Canada Cup, etc)
Try to play on a stream at a tournament (Highly Recommended)
Do you get nervous playing against a top player? Y/N

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 2 - Hitting your targets
Written by Justin Wong — October 2, 2011 at 4:09 p.m. PDT
What is a Training Mode Monster? A Training Mode Monster is someone who has great execution in terms of combos in the Training Room. Most common problems are that majority of the players are Training Mode Monsters which means that in an actual match, their execution goes down by a lot.
Not being able to land your combos against a moving target (Computer/Human opponent) is what a lot of players suffer from.
There are ways to increase your percentage of being able to land your combos against moving targets or in high pressure situations. When I was growing up, I played against the computer every day. Even though the computer isn't really challenging, it still gives you an opportunity to land combos in many types of situations and not just a non-movable dummy. The computer will stand, crouch, jump, spam an unsafe move and more, but this is beneficial for the player because you will be able to change up the type of combos due to the situation.

Step Up Your Game: Chapter 1 - Training Room
Written by Justin Wong — September 8, 2011 at 9:23 p.m. PDT
Many players lose in the heat of battle because they "choke." Choking usually means that the player could have won the match but they dropped the game winning combo or hit. One of the most important tools to have as a fighting game player is REALLY good execution. If you land a clean hit on your opponent, you want to make sure it's going to count and get you closer to the win.
When I was growing up, I sat in the arcade (there was no access to these games for consoles at the time) for 5-6 hours every day during my summer vacation and practice my combos over and over. Practicing my combos over and over did 3 things for me.
• Improved my execution dramatically.
• Figured out new combos/setups/mix-ups/frame traps/safe jumps/option selects/punishes.
• Learn more about the character.

Hutchinson-based Lowen IT is continuing its growth in Wichita with its recent acquisition of Cardinal Technology Consulting.
The move gives Lowen the Cardinal's customer base but will not immediately mean the addition of any new employees.
Financial terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
Lowen in September purchased the technology consulting division of Buhler-based IdeaTek.
The company, which is a division of Lowen Corp., first began branching into Wichita earlier this year.
Here is Lowen's full statement on its most recent expansion in the Air Capital:
Hutchinson, Kan.,-- On October 29th, 2012, Lowen IT purchased Cardinal Technology Consulting, a Wichita, Kan. company that specializes in IT consultation and management. "We're excited to add to our already growing customer base in the Wichita market, and we're looking forward to assisting these new customers with the planning and implementation of their future IT initiatives." said James Starkweather, Operations Manager with Lowen IT. Cardinal Technology's President, Jarvis Seaman Jr., commented that, "Cardinal Technology Consulting looks forward to the opportunity to partner with Lowen IT to provide our customers with a highly responsive and knowledgeable team who will carry on the core values of customer service and technology expertise. I am proud of the many years that Cardinal Technology Consulting has served their customers and look forward to the opportunities that Lowen IT will be able to assist with in the future." This is the second purchase made by Lowen IT this year. In August Lowen IT purchased the IdeaTek Consulting Division, a Buhler, Kan., company that specializes in fiber optics. Lowen IT, an operating division of Lowen Corporation, began in Hutchinson, Kan., in 2010 and recently moved into the Wichita market in May 2012, offering a variety of technology services for businesses of all sizes.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Forged-blueprints drama takes a new turn
THERE'S a new twist in the case of a homebuilder who accused a City of Winnipeg building inspector of selling forged blueprints — the builder was involved in a previous legal dispute with the inspector's son.
Douglas Steinhilber filed a statement of claim in Court of Queen's Bench against Hollywood Homes in September 2011 over problems with a home's construction.
In an affidavit, Steinhilber, who is the building inspector's son, alleged he signed a contract with Hollywood Homes in 2008 to build a house on Perth Avenue for $100,000 that was to be completed in August 2010.
The work was delayed until June 2011, and Steinhilber's affidavit said he had to pay to remove a builder's lien, pay for damage to a neighbour's property from stucco work, remove mud from the yard and pay to obtain a zoning permit since "the dwelling constructed by the respondent (Hollywood Homes) does not comply with zoning requirements." Court documents reveal Steinhilber instructed his lawyer to deduct the cost of these defects from the final payment to Hollywood Homes.
Dan Steinhilber, who spoke on behalf of his brother, Douglas, said his brother terminated the contract with Hollywood Homes because the project was not moving forward.
"The family would really like to move on from that and let that be history," he said Wednesday.
The revelations come amid a city investigation into forged engineering blueprints on several Winnipeg homes.
A recent report revealed the city revoked three of Hollywood Homes' building permits for properties on Pritchard Avenue, Bowman Avenue and Chevrier Boulevard after officials discovered submitted drawings were deliberately altered to indicate they were approved by an engineer.
The city has ordered Hollywood Homes to obtain a new building permit for all three properties, or alternatively, obtain a permit to demolish all construction. If Hollywood Homes fails to comply, the city will bring the properties into compliance, which may include demolishing the buildings. Families currently occupy two of the properties.
Hollywood Homes owner Dave Haner alleged he purchased the blueprints with a false engineering seal from a city building inspector. The allegations have not been proven but have sparked an internal city investigation.
City of Winnipeg building inspector Sig Steinhilber does freelance design work for InterPro Building Design Service, a local company registered to his wife. He declined to speak with the Free Press Wednesday.
Dan Steinhilber said his brother, Douglas, is a draftsman and has been producing all the drawings for InterPro for the last six or seven years. He said his father, Sig, only works for the company as a consultant.
Dan Steinhilber said Douglas Steinhilber drew the original blueprint Hollywood Homes purchased from InterPro for a specific project at a specific address with a valid engineer's seal.
City spokesman Steve West said the city is investigating concerns about building-code compliance for one or more of the occupied properties, allegations regarding misuse of professional engineering seals and potential conflict-of-interest of a city employee, according to a statement.
West said the city will not discuss these issues to ensure all matters are properly and thoroughly considered.
"While the City of Winnipeg is looking into all three issues, our first priority continues to be to work with property owners and other stakeholders to ensure the properties involved are compliant with the building code and all other lifesafety requirements," West said in a statement.
Coun. Ross Eadie (Mynarski) said Winnipeg should clarify its code of conduct and require all employees who deal with the public interest to disclose any outside businesses every year.
Currently, the city's code of conduct requires employees to disclose a perceived or potential conflict of interest in writing to their department head.
"What should be very clear is you or your direct family cannot be involved in direct undertakings related to your job," Eadie said.
Court documents show Hollywood Homes was sued in small-claims court four times in 2012 and taken to court twice by Employment Standards over unpaid wages in 2010.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
19 Sep 2013 11:48 GMT | Sport, US & Canada, Japan, United States
The chief of Japanese professional baseball resigned on Thursday ending months of calls for him to go after the former diplomat admitted his office secretly changed the design of balls to produce more home runs.
Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) commissioner Ryozo Kato had been under pressure since the scandal erupted in June, but the 72-year-old steadfastly refused to step down until now.
"I am responsible for all the trouble caused to baseball fans and people concerned about the ball changes," he told a news conference with owners of the league's 12 teams in attendance.
Kato cited ball design as "one of the major reasons" for his decision to quit. His reign will finish when the regular season ends next month.
He took up the post in 2008 after serving as Japan's ambassador to Washington for nearly seven years.
The Japan Professional Baseball Players Association had called on Kato to quit for being "passive" and "avoiding responsibility".
Greater bounce
After months of repeated denials and a huge surge in home runs this season, the league admitted on June 11 that it had changed specifications of the balls - each which bear Kato's signature - to give it greater bounce off the bat.
The league also admitted that it had demanded its manufacturer keep quiet about the switch.
The day after the revelation, Kato told a news conference he had been unaware of any change and refused to step down. At that point the number of home runs had already jumped 40 percent from a year before.
The scandal came to the fore again on Sunday after former US major leaguer Wladimir Balentien set a new season home-run record, surpassing the 55 homers set by Japan's home-run king Sadaharu Oh nearly half a century ago.
Balentien, a 29-year-old native of the Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao, had smacked 58 home runs as of Wednesday, well ahead of his nearest rival with 37.

With the power and responsibilities of leadership come extraordinary challenges, and even the best leaders can get trapped in a cycle of stress, pressure, sacrifice, and dissonance—with potentially disastrous implications for their careers, relationships, health, and happiness. Building on their work with Daniel Goleman in Primal Leadership (Harvard Business School Press, 2002), the authors point the way to renewal through a process of intentional change. The five steps lead to sustainable changes in habits, perceptions, and mood, as well as an enhanced ability to get results through greater understanding of your own and others' emotions—the heart of resonant leadership. © 2005 Richard Boyatzis & Annie McKee

Matt Kemp gets first start in left field since 2006
May 28, 2014, 7:24 PM EDT
Carl Crawford suffered an ugly left ankle sprain Tuesday while chasing after a ball, so the Dodgers are rolling with Matt Kemp in left field in their series finale Wednesday night against the visiting Reds.
Kemp, who had been on the bench for five straight games, last played left field as a rookie in 2006.
"It's a little different, but I'm just excited to be able to get back out there," Kemp told Eric Stephen of SB Nation's True Blue LA on Wednesday evening. "I think I'm still a pretty good athlete. I think I'll be OK."
Kemp has struggled defensively in his return from ankle surgery, which is why the Dodgers have been featuring Andre Ethier as their regular center fielder.
Kemp, 29, is batting .262/.325/.450 with five home runs and five stolen bases in 43 games this season.

Unfortunately, Kemp should have been in left from the beginning. It's sad to say, but he just doesn't have the mental focus to be an elite player. The injury to his ankle after coming off the DL is utterly unforgivable. He's got the skills, just not the brain. GO DODGER BLUE

I had great difficulty returning my parcels and telephoned to explain and ask for the post office labels that they say they include. I explained that I would possibly be late in sending items back but they agreed not to charge the late return fee. However, on my bill are 3 late return charges and one postage charge meaning I have to pay £16 for nothing! I e-mailed them but again no actual response other than an automated one. Be careful if using this firm. I will not again.

Show Your Taste Buds Some Love In Virginia
Virginia is for Lovers
untitled by The Master & Marisa on Flickr.
Thatcher LITERALLY PROTECTED CHILD RAPISTS FROM PROSECUTION WHEN SHE WAS PRIME MINISTER and they're building a fucking museum in her honour. £15 million. In country where there are families who can't feed themselves or heat their homes. Absolutely fucking disgusting. This nation is a disgrace.
Virginia is for Lovers
In 1981, Irish Republican Army volunteers went on hunger strike to protest the refusal of the British government to recognize their political status. Rather than concede to the obviousness of the political nature of their incarceration, Thatcher did nothing and 10 men starved to death, including Bobby Sands, who would come symbolize fearless resistance to British imperialism.
Moorfoot Building Sheffield - Known as the Manpower Services Commission building in my day. Thatcher's belated regional policy established schemes to deal with the great pools of skills and unemployment caused by her savaging of the northern heavy industries. Many of the schemes were co-ordinated here. I make no comment on their success or failure.
Discussion here
and news here
I went stalking through Thatcher's Twitter and found this beauty
bug man
A collograph of Thatcher in response to the 30th anniversary to the miner's strike of 1984.
Two great films that broach the subject are 'Still the Enemy Within' and 'Pride'. Both well worth watching. An important hidden history.
2014 - Residents of the former mining community of Goldthorpe in Yorkshire celebrated Margaret Thatcher's death with the burning of an effigy. One property in the town displayed a huge sign saying: "The Lady's not for turning but tonight she'll be for burning." [video]
(Thanks autonomous-geordie for pointing me to this)
When We Were Miners by Ian Isaac
a collection of badges in support of the 1984-5 miner's strike
In September 1989, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher pleaded with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev not to let the Berlin Wall fall. She confided that she wanted the Soviet leader to do what he could to stop it. As we all know, the wall fell anyway.

Impacts of the Global Economic Crisis on Child Poverty in Cameroon and Options for a Policy Response
This study aims to evaluate the potential impacts of the 2008/09 global economic crisis on child poverty in Cameroon. It also explores the potential effects that policy responses to such a crisis could have on children. In order to do this, the study uses a macro-micro methodology. A dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is used to simulate various scenarios of the economic crisis together with policies which respond to the crisis, taking into account the different transmission channels of the global crisis to the Cameroonian economy. The results of the CGE model are then used in a micro-econometric module in order to evaluate the impacts of the simulated shocks on households in general and children in particular. Five dimensions of child poverty are examined: monetary poverty, caloric poverty, child school participation and child labour, and children's access to health care services. The study shows that the crisis is projected to lower the real GDP growth rate by 1.3 percentage points in 2009, 0.9 in 2010 and 0.8 in 2011. Four alternative policy responses to the crisis are simulated: a reduction in the VAT levied on the sale of food products; elimination of customs tariffs applied on imports of food products; free access to school canteens for children under the age of 15 in districts where monetary poverty is higher than the national average; and granting cash transfers to poor children.

I think ARC is retaining my "splash" when I add it to the subview of the
rootViewController. ARC should release "splash" when I run my animation completion because it removes my "splash" from it's own super view. However, I can see in the allocation instruments that this parent view controller is staying allocated and it shows the problem line being where splash is added to the
rootViewController. What can I do to make sure "splash" is released?

Hey! ive gone flying many times! make sure you bring some things to do on the plane but don't over pack. hope you have fun!
by taylorswiftfan1236 on 3/12/2011 9:25:38 AM
Flying is totally ok, I have been flying since I was practically born!! In your carry on, be sure to pack fresh underwear and maybe a shirt and sweatpants, just in case your luggage gets lost (chances are very rare, but it happened to me once). If you have contacts, BRING A CASE AND SOLUTION.
Also, don't bring any liquids over three oz. into the airport (like from your car), because you will have to throw it away when you go through security. BUt you can by stuff past security that is over 3 oz. that you can bring on the plane. And, bring some really good gum, it keeps your ears from popping and nice to have if you get bored and want to do something with your mouth. (just don't smack) Flying is fun, so don't be scared!!

What's Up With Cu?
Posted on February 2, 2011 by Nina Fitzgerald
Since returning two weeks ago from my four-day hiking extravaganza in southern Nevada and northwest Arizona, I have been doing a lot of thinking about mining and its long history in that part of the country. In Arizona, in particular, … Continue reading →

We are happy to announce that GridGain 4.2 is released!
This release includes several new exciting feature as well as the host of
performance optimizations that we've included. This release is 100%
backward compatible with 4.x product line and we recommend anyone on 4.x
version to update as soon as possible.
Now – let's talk about new features…
Delayed Preloading
In GridGain 4.2 we've introduced support for delayed preloading. Dmitriy
Setrakyan wrote an excellent blog detailing this new functionality.
Essentially, whenever a new node joins the grid or an existing node leaves
the grid, cluster repartitioning happens. This basically means that, in case
of new node, it has to take responsibility for some of the data cached on
other nodes, and in case of node leaving the grid, other nodes have to take
responsibility for the data cached on that node. Essentially this res... (more)
Over the last 12 months I've accumulated plenty of "conversations"
where we've discussed big data analytics and BI strategies with our
customers and potential users. These 5 points below represent some of the key
take-away points about current state of analytics/BI field, why it is by in
large a sore state of affairs and what some of the obvious tell-tale signs of
the decay.
Beware: some measure of hyperbole is used below to make the points more
This is probably getting obvious for the most of industry insiders but still
worth while to mention. If you have "b... (more)
Few days ago I blogged about how GridGain easily supports starting many
GridGain nodes in the single JVM – which is a huge productivity boost
during the development. I've got a lot of requests to show the code – so
here it is (next page).
This is an example that we are shipping with upcoming 4.3 release (entire
source code):
import org.gridgain.grid.*; import org.gridgain.grid.spi.discovery.tcp.*;
import org.gridgain.grid.spi.discovery.tcp.ipfinder.*; import
org.gridgain.grid.spi.discovery.tcp.ipfinder.vm.*; import
org.gridgain.grid.typedef.*; import javax.swing.*; import

GridGain is Java-based middleware for in-memory processing of big data in a
distributed environment. It is based on high performance in-memory data
platform that integrates fast In-Memory MapReduce implementation with
In-Memory Data Grid technology delivering easy to use and easy to scale
software. Using GridGain you can process terabytes of data, on 1000s of nodes
in under a second.
GridGain typically resides between business, analytics, transactional or BI
applications and long term data storage such as RDBMS, ERP or Hadoop HDFS,
and provides in-memory data platform for high p... (more)
Wikibon produced an interesting material (looks like paid by Aerospike, NoSQL
database recently emerged by resurrecting failed CitrusLeaf and acquihiring
AlchemyDB, which product, of course, was recommended in the end) that
compares NoSQL databases based on storing data in flash-based SSD vs. storing
data in DRAM.
There are number of factual problems with that paper and I want to point them
Note that Wikibon doesn't mention GridGain in this study (we are not a
NoSQL datastore per-se after all) so I don't have any bone in this game
other than annoyance with biased and factu... (more)

Even the major news publications are publishing misinformation about EMV for retail. This article identifies some common false claims.
CLAIM: Equipment upgrade to EMV by October is mandatory. False. There's no mandatory requirement for merchants to upgrade to EMV by the card associations. Acquirers and encouraging merchants to update, but it's not a mandate.
CLAIM: Merchants are not liable for fraud if they support EMV. False. Beginning October 2015, either the issuer or merchant that is the cause of a contact chip
transaction not occurring will be financially liable for any resulting card present counterfeit
fraud losses. Lost and stolen card use is not applicable. The card brands also have differing exceptions and extra incentives to encourage adoption of EMV.
MasterCard requires hybrid EMV terminals (support of both contact and contactless interfaces) to qualify for all merchant incentives, which also include Account Data Compromise (ADC) and PCI audit relief.
Has your company suffered from card present losses due to counterfeit fraud? Do you have an older terminal that needs to be replaced? Then getting an EMV terminal obviously makes sense. Before choosing a new terminal, consult with an expert that will explore all causes of lost credit card disputes resulting in chargebacks. Ask how the solution will help with not only preventing losses from disputes, but how will it help with interchange management, the bulk of credit card processing fees reducing PCI compliance burden, and any other concerns.
What if your company hasn't had any card present fraud problems? There's still incentives to replace equipment. Consider consulting with an expert not associated with your merchant account for advice. Why? If the processor has limited options to offer, then you'll only be advised on what their company sells, not what all the best choices are for your business.
