Game 134: Nats at Braves
Aug 31, 2011, 8:04 PM EDT
File photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
The Nats try to make it two in a row tonight at Turner Field.
Fresh off a 9-2 thumping of the Braves last night, the Nationals are back in Atlanta tonight in search of their second straight win. John Lannan gets the nod against Derek Lowe.
Jayson Werth is in center field again, with Laynce Nix in right field and Rick Ankiel on the bench. Chris Marrero starts at first base, and Jesus Flores makes his second straight start behind the plate in place of ailing catcher Wilson Ramos.
Enjoy the game…

Stayed up to watch Manny's team win in 16 (well, I had one eye open). They are going for the 4-game sweep, but getting nowhere fast because Detroit keeps winning. Go Tribe!

NatsLady – I don't think the shutdown for JZ was too late but I do think there was some kind of idea that he had to be pushed in August. For some reason, after a great season, when he was close to being shut down, it was deemed necessary that he go into the 7th inning. If you remember some of those August games, he was doing well, but left in too long. It was like we just HAD to know right then that he could go deep into games instead of waiting until next season. Terrible timing and just silly. This year should have been only about coming back from the surgery and making it through the season healthy. The rest of the stuff can wait until next season. I am relieved that he didn't really break down at the end.
- Steve M. - Sep 1, 2011 at 4:42 PM
NatsLady said… Yeah, Z'nn didn't have a lot of bad games, but they came mostly in August. He had an incredible June (42 IP, 0.85 ERA). So, for next year, for Z'nn, is the issue he didn't go long enough in games, or he didn't go long enough in the season? It makes sense he was shut down in September– should he have been shut down earlier? On what basis was the 160-inning limit set? And should it be reviewed/revised? This is also a key question for me in terms of Stras next year. September 1, 2011 12:24 PM The issue with TJ guys is building up the endurance, the confidence, and the ability to get your feel for your pitches again.The Manager and pitching coach have to read it. On the earthquake game, why put him in for the 7th in a 0-0 game? He was tired. Comes back and gave up a 2 run homer. Against the Cubs, same thing.I don't think Davey did JZim any favors. Sure, the offense never helped him but the Manager needs to have a better hook.For next year, I think you treat him like any other pitcher. BTW, I truly believe given Jordan's "stuff", he is a Top 10 pitcher in the NL. The biggest factor is getting the umps to respect you, getting the defense to play well behind you, and leaving the games with a lead.How do you leave the game with a lead when your offense doesn't score for you? Well, that is something Rizzo will have to figure out.
- Steve M. - Sep 1, 2011 at 4:46 PM
NatsLady, I think Matteus is still a work in progress. He wasn't consistent enough to be my 7th inning guy. He had a few really bad outings. Now with the injury, who knows.
- Feel Wood - Sep 1, 2011 at 4:48 PM
Losing Adam LaRoche was a big loss considering he was a big Runs Created player.You would be right except for two big things:(1) Adam LaRoche was a big second-half Runs Created player, so even if he hadn't been hurt he wouldn't have created many runs in the first half.(2) Adam LaRoche being in the lineup was keeping Michael Morse out of the lineup, and Morse has to be a bigger run creator than LaRoche – especially first-half LaRoche. Had LaRoche not gotten hurt and removed himself from the lineup, it's doubtful that Riggleman ever would have figured out that he needed to have both LaRoche and Morse in there every day.With LaRoche presumably healthy and back to form and with a more enlightened manager filling out the lineup card it looks like this will not be a problem in 2012.

Sorted from worst to best:Name WPA Sean Burnett -1.59Collin Balester -0.88Doug Slaten -0.88Henry Rodriguez -0.67Craig Stammen -0.37Brian Broderick -0.35Chad Gaudin -0.28Tom Gorzelanny -0.06Ryan Mattheus 0.06Cole Kimball 0.27Todd Coffey 0.32Ross Detwiler 0.44Drew Storen 2.32Tyler Clippard 4.84Unless this data is normalized over a per-appearance or per-inning basis it tells you nothing. And it appears not to be normalized since Slaten and Gaudin (for example) have less than half the appearances of Burnett and they performed much worse than Burnett in most of them.And even if you did normalize the data it would still be useless due to the large variance in sample sizes. Balester, Stammen, Gorzelanny, Kimball, Detwiler, etc have too few appaearances to reach any valid conclusion using this data.
- A DC Wonk - Sep 1, 2011 at 5:12 PM
Re: JZ and the 160 IP limit.My understanding is that by mid-season everybody knew that he was totally recovered, and only needed to build stamina. That's what the "try to go 7 innings" bit was.As for the 160 limit, my vague recollection is that there is somewhat compelling data about how many innings a young pitcher should pitch in relation to prior years and slowly building up season-long endurance.In other words — and this is key to answering both questions: it's quite possible that he could have gone 190-200 innings this year, and be fine — for this year. But that the stress of 200 innings this year would show up next year.This is a key, but somewhat subtle point. If I remember correctly, the year the Marlins made it to the Series, they had a number of young pitchers in their starting rotation, and kept riding them all the way to the playoffs. The pitchers for the most part did fine. That year. But the next year (or two?) I think three (possibly two) of the pitcher had bum arms.So — again, if I remember all this correctly — the current theory is that pushing JZ into 7 or 8 innings was OK, it's that pushing him much past 160 would be harmful to him in the long run.
- A DC Wonk - Sep 1, 2011 at 5:15 PM
Oh, and to answer NatsLady's other question about how this bodes for SS — same deal. I think there will be a 160 IP limit on him, just like JZ this year.
- N. Cognito - Sep 1, 2011 at 5:31 PM
Away from the board less than a day and it's gone into full blown over-analysis mode.
- jd - Sep 1, 2011 at 5:42 PM
To piggy back on DC's point; maturing young pitchers particularly stud pitchers like Znn is the trickiest business. The innings limit has less to do with the TJ surgery and more to do with the fact that he has never pitched that many innings. It is very prudent to err on the side of caution and it is advisable not to have Dusty (butcher) Baker as your manager. I cringe every time I see 23 year old Mike Leake throw 120 pitches. If my son was a top flight pitcher and he was drafted by the Reds I'd decline to sign and I'd have him take his chances the following year.
- N. Cognito - Sep 1, 2011 at 5:51 PM
"If my son was a top flight pitcher and he was drafted by the Reds I'd decline to sign and I'd have him take his chances the following year."It's obvious that you love your son.
- Mark'd - Sep 1, 2011 at 7:23 PM
JD, good point on Leake, he burned out before the season was over last year.

Less risk with more benefit
Sunday, February 3, 2013
Efforts to re-institute a state minimum wage law then up that wage from the federally-mandated $7.25 to $8.00 or $9.75 (depending on which of two bills passes) is simply wrong-headed.
Steve Grenier, co-owner of Lago's Ice Cream in Rye, told the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services Committee that he would have to sell 40,000 more cones a season to pay for just the 75-cent increase. Of course, he could up his prices, lose some undetermined amount of business because of it and hire fewer workers this coming summer.
Not only is this the hands-down better way to increase pay, it is the least risky.

A New York Times Book Review Notable Book • A Washington Post Top Ten Book of the Year • A Chicago Tribune Noteworthy Book • A Huffington Post Best Book • A Boston Globe Best Book of the Year • A Kirkus Best Fiction Book • A Goodreads Best Book
Nora Eldridge is a reliable, but unremarkable, friend and neighbor, always on the fringe of other people's achievements. But the arrival of the Shahid family—dashing Skandar, a Lebanese scholar, glamorous Sirena, an Italian artist, and their son, Reza—draws her into a complex and exciting new world. Nora's happiness pushes her beyond her boundaries, until Sirena's careless ambition leads to a shattering betrayal. Told with urgency, intimacy, and piercing emotion, this New York Times bestselling novel is the riveting confession of a woman awakened, transformed, and abandoned by a desire for a world beyond her own.
Excerpted from The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud. Copyright © 2013 by Claire Messud. Excerpted by permission of Vintage, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Claire Messud's The Emperor's Children, was a New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post Best Book of the Year. Her first novel, When the World Was Steady, and her book of novellas, The Hunters, were both finalists for the PEN/Faulkner Award; and her second novel, The Last Life, was a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and Editor's Choice at The Village Voice. All four books were named New York Times Notable Books of the Year. Messud has been awarded Guggenheim and Radcliffe Fellowships and the Strauss Living Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with her husband and children.
Claire Messud is represented by Random House Speakers Bureau (www.rhspeakers.com).
1. Note Claire Messud's epigraphs for the novel—quotes from some very persuasive, and very powerful, male writers. How do these words set up expectations for the reader? How do these choices look to you upon finishing The Woman Upstairs? And what about the other male writers (such as Dostoyevsky and Chekhov) whose work is alluded to in Messud's text? Do they reveal anything about the author's own understanding of Nora's reliability, sense of self and potential literary legacy?
2. Nora introduces herself by saying: "My name is Nora Marie Eldridge and I'm forty-two years old. . . . Until last summer, I taught third grade at Appleton Elementary School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and maybe I'll go back and do it again, I just don't know. Maybe, instead, I'll set the world on fire. I just might" (p. 5). Which choice seems more likely for Nora? How might she set the world on fire? Is the book itself an act of revenge?
3. At the beginning of the novel, Nora says: "I've finally come to understand that life itself is the Fun House. All you want is that door marked EXIT, the escape to a place where Real Life will be; and you can never find it" [p. 4]. Why does Nora feel that life is a Fun House? What does the Fun House represent for her? Why does she feel it's impossible to escape? Why is Nora so drawn to each of the Shahids? What do they seem to offer her, and how do her memories inform her attraction to them?
4. What does Nora mean when she describes herself as "the woman upstairs"? What are the chief attributes of this archetype?
5. Nora asks, "How did all that revolutionary talk of the seventies land us in place where being female means playing dumb and looking good?" (p. 4). In what ways can The Woman Upstairs be read as a feminist novel? Which aspects of women's experience does the novel illuminate?
6. Nora might be described as a self-conscious narrator. At the beginning of Chapter 7, she writes: "There was another strand in this tapestry. What does it signify that I am loath to tell you, slow to tell you?" (p. 148). What effect is created by Nora's direct addresses to the reader and her self-questioning? How does Nora want her readers to see her? Does this honesty make her more of a reliable narrator, or does it trigger the reader to be more skeptical of her storytelling—including her observations and her claims?
7. As he walks her home one night, Skandar tells Nora, "You don't look like a ravenous wolf," to which Nora replies, "Well, I am. . . . I'm starving" (p. 161). What is Nora so hungry for? Where does her hunger—her longing and desire—come from?
8. Earlier in the novel, she writes that hunger is "the source of almost every sorrow" (p. 46). Is hunger at the root of her own pain? Nora understands that "the great dilemma" of her mother's life "had been to glimpse freedom too late, at too high a price" (p. 40). Does Nora reenact her mother's failed ambitions or go beyond them? Why did Nora give up the artist's life and become first a management consultant and then an elementary school teacher?
9. Why does Nora choose Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, Alice Neel and Edie Sedgwick as subjects for her dioramas? In what ways does she identify with, yet try to distinguish herself from, these particular writers and artists?
10. The ending of The Woman Upstairs delivers a tremendous shock to Nora and to the reader. Were there hints and warnings that a betrayal was coming? Why wasn't Nora more wary of her involvement with the Shahids? What may have motivated Sirena to treat Nora as she does?
11. Early in the novel, Nora writes: "I'm not crazy. Angry, yes; crazy, no" (p. 5). But later she suggests that if someone else told her story to her, she'd conclude they were either crazy or a child. How is the reader to understand her mental and emotional state?
12. After visiting Sirena's Wonderland exhibit in Paris, Nora writes: "How could I begin to explain what it meant . . . the great rippling outrage of what it meant—about each of us, about myself perhaps most of all, about the lies I'd persistently told myself these many years" (p. 252). What does the betrayal Nora suffers mean for each of them? What lies has she told herself?
13. It becomes clear by the end of the novel that Sirena was using Nora. Is Nora purely a victim of Sirena's ruthlessness? To what extent does Nora make herself vulnerable to such humiliation? Was she also using Sirena for her own purposes?
14. Look again at the ferocious opening pages of the novel and at Nora's self-description, written after the events the novel describes have already transpired. How has she been transformed by her experience with the Shahids? Has the experience, as painful as it was, been good for her in any way?

Phoronix: Wine 1.1.32 Brings Multiple Improvements
Wine 1.1.32 is now out, but unlike Wine 1.1.30 and Wine 1.1.31 there are not any Direct3D 10 improvements specifically mentioned for this release. However, the highlights for Wine 1.1.32 include many crypto fixes (particularly targeted at the 64-bit architecture), improved DVD access on Mac OS X, several improvements to common controls, HTML support improvements, DIB optimizations, and various other bug-fixes.The Wine 1.1.32 release announcement is to be found, as always, at WineHQ.org...
bugs with .net frameworks which are very important too. So it justifies a little pause in the dx10 implementation, he can't be everywhere.
The list of improvements which were specifically about D3D10 are:
Henri Verbeet
- d3d10: Explicitly handle D3D10_SVC_STRUCT in set_variable_vtbl().
Rico Schüller (4):
- d3d10: Implement ID3D10EffectVariable::GetElement().
- d3d10: Implement ID3D10EffectConstantBuffer::GetParentConstantBuffe r().
- d3d10/tests: Add variable member test.
- d3d10/tests: Add ID3D10EffectVariable::GetElement() test.
Also, sometimes fixes in one D3D version will fix bugs in another.
It is a little sloppy saying that there are no improvements at all, especially when the full list of changes is only a click away. There were some fixes, just not so many as to be worth including in the top changes this release.
See the full Wine 1.3.32 shortlog.
Can we already use DirectX 10 to do something useful in Wine?

Asda 2 Review
By Ange Perdu
Asda 2 is a 3D fantasy themed MMORPG where players become knights fighting in a war between Light and Dark. As a sequel to GamesCampus' Asda Story heroes enter an enchanted world that's slowly falling apart. The truce established in the previous installment has been broken and now the fate of the universe rests in the hands of an unknown warrior. Players have to complete an assortment of quests, slay hordes of troublesome creatures, and battle others if PvP duels. Summon pets to assist in combat and partake in massive faction based wars. Although Asda 2 is similar in gameplay to its predecessor it has a wider range of classes, jobs, monsters, and a more advanced Soulmate system. The additional features along with the continuation of the storyline give new and devoted fans of the series a second chance to enlist with the Royal Knights.
Becoming a Royal Knight, the Gameplay
To become an honorary Royal Knight heroes must complete numerous quests. NPCs located in the town will delegate various tasks that range from relaying messages back and forth to preventing Nihil's followers from attacking innocent villagers. Some missions involve obtaining ingredients for antidotes, surveying machinery, defeating monsters, or more specific missions like eliminating the Wicked Parasol before it commits any evil. There's also a quest board situated in the center of the village with daily repeatable quests depending on a player's current level. Collect weapon upgrade shards or kill 50 red wolves. These bonus missions can be done up to 10 times. Completing them will generate large sums of XP. It's a convenient feature that assists in leveling. Most of the quests involve killing mythical creatures. There's a surprisingly large assortment of monsters in the Asda Empire. Despite their generic names each beast has a unique appearance and can be quite challenging in battles. Fight wrench wielding ducks, backpack carrying canine, pinball shaped leaf creatures, and stonewalled giants. The combat is relatively fast paced. A quick click on an opponent will initiate an attack. Spells and special moves can be performed by pressing the designated hot keys. Successfully defeating a monster often provides coins, XP, and an occasional item. Pets can also be summoned to assist in brawls.
Summoning Gangtos
The game's pet system allows players to not only collect multiple companions but have them at their disposal during difficult battles. Pets vary from extremely adorable Lion Dogs to intimidating Fire Golems. Each pet has its own set of stats, food requirements, and level that a hero must reach before the hatching process takes place. Acquiring pets can be a tedious task. Eggs have to be found and then hatched using an incubator. When killed certain monsters drop pet egg boosters. It takes a considerable amount of grinding to stumble across a creature holding the right goods. Once gathered heroes must purchase an incubator from one of the NPC shops. Incubators are major purchases they usually cost 10,000 coins or more. Hatching an egg doesn't always result in a pet. Sometimes it's a dud and players have to start their search for eggs all over again. There are almost a dozen different pets available. Collect Duckwrench, Ziproll, Puchrat, Vesper, Woodpickle, Patchcat, and Gangtos as companions. Leveling increases their size. It's interesting to see them grow alongside your character. Pets can be switched and summoned at will which can be handy during PvP duels.
On the Battlefield
Similar to Legend of Edda at any time another player can challenge a knight in a duel. Once accepted PvP duels start within a few seconds. A short countdown begins allowing heroes the opportunity to position themselves or change weapons if needed. The game features a nice variety of classes with job tiers enabling players to master different skills and spells. During combat these moves can be performed to defeat enemies swiftly. Toss a blade overflowing with magic energy towards foes, roar loudly to boost your spirit level and stats, or merge with the wind to increase speed temporarily. When the battle is over the winner earns experience and rank. Scheduled faction wars held daily also. The faction wars in Asda 2 are extremely fun. When a notification streams across the screen players can quickly register and participate. There's no long drawn out waiting period or lengthy requirements. Gamers that enjoy PvP are able to get their bloodshed fix with minimal hassle. Teams are divided by factions. Knights are either on the Light or Dark side. Once everyone has entered the battlefield the war begins. Players must protect their towers while conquering the other team's bases igniting a player killing frenzy. When the timed war ends the team occupying majority of the towers wins. Participating in wars earns coveted honor points and massive amounts of XP.
A Soulmate's Whisper of Resurrection
Players are also able to find love in the Asda Empire using the Soulmate system. In the character tab an introduction section allows knights to post a description of themselves and what they want in a partner. The message will be displayed in the Soulmate search window area. Warriors and mages can easily find each other by browsing the listings. Click to send an invite. Once accepted players become a couple which can later lead to marriage. Soulmates provide heroes with various skills and buffs. They also increase the overall strength of their clan as a whole. When a player is in trouble their sweetheart can instantly heal them. If they are located in different areas their partner can perform the long distant spell the Whisper of Resurrection allowing them to fight another round. Soulmates are granted entrance to special instanced dungeons as well. Couples and friends can chat, dance, and kill monsters together. Knights are able to fish and go digging for items also. Purchase rods and various forms of bait to catch fishes lurking in the lakes scattered throughout the realms. Sell fish or trade bounties with others. Another feature implemented to break up the monotony of traditional gameplay is the dig option. Warriors can pull out a shovel and randomly start digging for buried rare items.
Swords & Costumes
Items are usually acquired by completing quests, digging, or through one of the various NPC shops. There's a wide assortment of weapons and gear to choose from. Purchase the Wood Spear, Fierce Steel Blade, Candy Smash, Gothic Sword, Smashir, War Pick, Partisan, Assault Polearm, Kether Knife, Ruby Coating Blade, Stalker's Longbow, Strongiron Crossbow, Elixir's Bow, Pin Lightening Bow, Wood Stick of Faith, Staff of Concentration, or Stick of the Dark. Most of the weapons are priced relatively high averaging anywhere from 20,000 to 180,000 coins. NPC shops also carry potions and gear. Buy the Sandstorm Cuirass, Magical Rune Pattern Shirt, Ancient Guardians Gauntlets, Gloves of Blue Breathing, Hell Butterfly Tasset, Steel Blood Necklace, and Knight's Shield. Mounts and cool motorized vehicles like the Hover Board, Cat Balloon, Dragon Doll, Vortex, Blue Hatchling, or Set of Flame Wheels are available too. These items are only accessible temporarily. The Web Mall has an extensive list of items that allow users to customize their characters if they are willing to spend real money. There are a variety of elaborate costumes with themes ranging from Polynesian to the Three Musketeers. Players can buy bunny vehicles, cute pet costumes, and wacky accessories like gold antennae or a gentleman's moustache. All of the items in the Web Mall require coupons that are not earned in the e game in order to purchase. Other minor changes like hairstyles also cost coupons making it slightly difficult for players to fully customize their characters.
Final Verdict: Great
Asda 2 is a solid MMORPG that's as equally fun as it is addicting. Players become dedicated knights battling for their chosen faction fighting hundreds of menacing monsters as well as others in PvP duels. Tackle an endless array of quests on your hero's journey into knighthood. Explore the Asda Empire with a party or the perfect Soulmate earning buffs along the way. Similar to Legend of Edda there's plenty of PvP action. Participate in frenzied faction wars scheduled daily. Collect and summon a variety of pets to aid in battle. Avid fans or players new to the genre will find this standalone sequel definitely worth playing.

Blacklight Retribution Overview
Blacklight Retribution is a futuristic FPS published by Perfect World. The game offers countless ways to customize your weaponry, which offers players a style that fits them perfectly. New "hero" characters are frequently introduced, offering players a way to increase what's available to them quickly. The game features several different modes, namely Team Deathmatch, Domination, Capture the Flag, and King of the Hill. The game also offers a couple of unique inclusions: the HRV and the Hardsuit. The HRV allows you to see opponents from anywhere on the map, however, you lose most of your perception of terrain. The hardsuit is a mech-like armor that is hard to take down.

Blacklight Retribution Review
In a bleak future, two factions battle each other for control of resources and territory. This is the core plot behind Blacklight Retribution, although its full story has yet to be fleshed out. Blacklight Retribution is Perfect World Entertainment's first FPS offering. The game looks like many of its competitors, but how does it stack up?
Teach Me Some Moves
Since Blacklight Retribution has no character creation (other than choosing gender), you'll be given a tutorial upon the first time you log in. Movement is your first goal, accomplished with WASD while using the mouse to look around. Your next obstacle is a locked door, which you will have to learn hacking in order to pass through. Hacking is a simple matching game, where you choose either a number on the left or right to match the number in the center of the "tumbler".
Finally, you're given instruction on how to aim and shoot, with various targets set up for you to destroy. One unique aspect of Blacklight Retribution is also introduced here: the HRV, short for Hyper Reality Visor. The HRV is a scanner-like device that shows you where friend, foe, and weapon stations are located by highlighting them in a similar version to a black light. This is useful in determining where enemies are or may come from; however, you cannot attack while using HRV, and the terrain is partially obscured, making movement and awareness difficult.
Becoming a Lobbyist
Once the tutorial is complete, you are put into the main lobby of the game, where you can choose from several gameplay options. "Play game" brings you to a second, separate lobby screen to choose your game from among a list of current matches. There is also a social menu on the right side of the screen, which displays your gameplay statistics, friends list, inventory, mail, and more.
Customization is a key area where Blacklight Retribution shines. Weapons are fully customizable, down to the receiver, muzzle, barrel, stock, sights, and even small tags for personalization. Each category has several parts to choose from, with two rental periods of either one or three days, or a permanent option. You can also customize your other gear, such as helmet, body armor, lower body, and your choice of explosives.
Go For the Eyes
There are several match types in Blacklight Retribution. Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Domination, and King of the Hill are the most prevalent. Matches can be set for a maximum of 16 people to join, in teams of eight. Teamwork is very important in the game, especially in Domination and King of the Hill..
The game features fairly realistic firing mechanics. Weapons have several factors to keep in mind. Recoil will keep you from aiming in a specific spot constantly, while spread determines how accurate your shot is from your intended target. Aiming for the head usually results in an instant kill on the opponent, so where you shoot can play a key factor in battle.
Another factor during battle to be aware of are depots. These allow you to select from your inventory; health, ammo, flamethrower, rocket launcher, and hardsuit are the default items available. The hardsuit merits special attention: this mech-like armor comes equipped with a minigun and a rail gun, in addition to heavy armor. This makes it tough to take down, but it's not invulnerable. Each hardsuit has a randomly determined weak spot, which can be identified using HRV. Players with flamethrowers can also quickly take one down by burning the player inside of it. This leaves the hardsuit relatively undamaged for the opponents to use.
Vae Victus
Since combat in Blacklight Retribution is fast and furious by design; matches are equally quick and intense. Most last only about ten minutes. At the end of a match, the top three players from the winning team are showcased, and detailed information is displayed for the rest of the players. Win or lose, each player receives a certain amount of experience and currency based on their performance.
Final Verdict: Great
Blacklight Retribution is a very interesting and high-quality MMOFPS. The level of weapon and equipment customization makes a significant impression, while the HRV and hardsuit add unique strategic elements to battle. However, there are some flaws that can't be overlooked. Headshots are too common, which means you're frequently on the wrong end of one. Because of recoil and spread, a player can actually score a headshot without ever aiming at your head, making death sometimes based more on luck than skill. Several graphical issues have also proved problematic for beta testers. Regardless, the game boasts several fast-paced and different game modes, making Blacklight Retribution worth a look for anyone that enjoys a solid FPS experience.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Since it had been a bit warmer lately, I thought that it was time to bring my ice cream maker out of hibernation. Vanilla ice cream is my favorite ice cream and since I had picked up some vanilla beans a while ago and I had been impatiently waiting to make some. I started with my basic ice cream recipe and added a few extra egg yolks to make it even creamier. By the time the mixture was done cooking it was really thick like custard and I could have eaten it all just like that with a spoon. But my goal was vanilla ice cream and not vanilla custard. I used some vanilla sugar that I had made myself by placing the used vanilla bean pods into the container with the sugar. The vanilla bean ice cream turned out really well. It was nice and creamy and the vanilla flavour was nice and strong, just the way I like it. The ice cream was full of nice dark flecks of vanilla bean. I don't seem to have much luck taking photos of ice cream. It always seems to melt before I get a shot that I like.
1 vanilla bean pod
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1/2 cups vanilla sugar
4 egg yolks
1. Slice the vanilla bean open lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.
2. Heat the cream, milk, sugar and vanilla bean seeds in a sauce pan until it almost boils, about 5 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to low.
4. Add one table spoon of the cream mixture to the eggs to temper them.
5. Add the egg mixture to the sauce pan.
6. Cook at low heat until it thickens and can coat the back of a spoon.
7. You may want to strain the mixture at this point to remove any bits that may have formed while cooking.
8. Chill the mixture in the fridge.
9. Freeze according to the instructions for your ice cream machine.

USA: campaign against online piracy act
American web giants campaigning against online piracy act. In Russia, Vladimir Putin's supporters are using the web to spread pro-Kremlin propaganda. And builders in China construct a 30 story hotel in just 15 days.
USA: campaign against online piracy act
Wikipedia on strike… the collaborative online encyclopedia will black out its English edition for 24 hours this Wednesday in protest against two controversial online piracy acts currently under discussion in the US Congress.
So the fifth most visited site in the world is joining the strike action initiated by social sharing hub Reddit which is to shut down services for 12 hours. They hope the "blackout" will raise awareness on how, in their opinion, the proposed legislation threatens a free Internet.
The "Stop Online Piracy Act", or SOPA, and the "Protect Intellectual Property Act", or PIPA, are designed to block access to sites thought to contain unauthorized copyright material. The music and film industry have given the bills their backing, but the web giants are against the legislation and have said as much in an open letter to US Congress posted last month. Google, Facebook and also Twitter believe the proposed measures represent a serious threat to the web industry's record of innovation.
The White House has expressed a similar sentiment and has officially responded to two petitions posted on its website. And with the PIPA up for a vote on the Senate floor next week, the Obama administration has in fact criticized the legislation, placing an emphasis on the need to combat piracy whilst protecting a free and open Internet.
Russia: Internet used to spread pro-Kremlin propaganda
With Russia's presidential election scheduled for the 4th March, supporters of the heavy favourite, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, have taken to the web to take on his political adversaries. One of the main targets of these online attacks is Alexeï Navalny, an anti-corruption blogger who has become one of the driving forces behind the opposition movement in the country.
This video, which is in very dubious taste, was posted to a pro-Putin blog last week. It's around a minute long and compares Alexei Navalny's gestures and intonations to those of Adolf Hitler, basically depicting the blogger as a fascist. The purpose of this smear campaign is to take away any credibility from one of the most well-known critics of the Prime Minister.
The people behind this cartoon which is aired on lifenews.ru, a news site with close ties to the Kremlin, share the same goal. Once again, Navalny is portrayed as a fascist, carrying out the Nazi salute, all day long, in a somewhat compulsive manner.
Navalny denies these allegations, and has always been open about his nationalist activities. This video for example was filmed in 2007 and has recently resurfaced. He says, amongst other things, that, just as fly swatters are used against insects, guns should be made available for use against law breakers like Islamist militants.
And with the presidential elections fast approaching, we are seeing more and more pro-Kremlin propaganda, but it does sometimes backfire. Putin supporters recently circulated this doctored photo online, which shows Alexeï Navalny with Boris Berezovski, a businessman who is wanted by the Russian authorities. Russian web users wasted no time in exposing the photo as a fake, a result of some pretty poor photo editing, and then went on to have a field day parodying the doctored photo, condemning the failed smear campaign.
North Korea's communist paper launches English website
North Korea's official newspaper the "Rodong Sinmun", now has its own website in English. An article on the new leader Kim Jong-Un visiting a building site in Pyongyang, a photo hailing the productivity of one of the capital's coal mines… North Korea intends to use the portal to give its take on local and international news. The communist regime has made great use of social networks in recent years and continues to use the web as a tool to spread propaganda aimed essentially at foreign web users…
Now trending on social networks
Michelle Obama is planning on playing a key role in her husband's campaign for re-election to the White House. And America's First Lady has opened a Twitter account to do so. The idea is to use Mrs. Obama's popularity to win over voters before voting day on the 6th November. And just like's her husband, this new Twitter account will be largely run by the President's communication and campaign teams. Any tweets written by Michelle Obama herself will be signed with her initials.
Video of the day
Chinese construction company Broad Group made a name for itself in 2010 when it built a 15 story hotel in just 6 days. And the firm is back making headlines with its latest exploit, erecting a 30 floor building in 15 days! You can see this amazing feat for yourself in this accelerated video which retraces the main steps in the construction of this hotel which has a total surface area of 17,000 m2.

Wildcats open the playoffs in the Wild West
If there's one thing I've learned in two seasons covering the Linfield football team, it's that the Division III tournament is one of the most confusing things to get a grip on.
You need to be fluent in the 239 teams that make up the NCAA's lowest classification, you need to read legalese to make sense of the NCAA's playoff qualification guidelines, and you probably need at least a minor in math or statistics to wade through the numbers.
This year's playoff bracket is no less confusing than any other year. Because the NCAA pays for transportation in the playoffs, the amount of plane flights is taken into account when creating a bracket in Division III. This alone is a stumbling block for many D3 noobs. When we think bracket, we think an orderly system of ranked teams that are seeded then placed on the bracket in predetermined spots.
"In a true bracket scenario, this isn't reflective of it," Linfield coach Joseph Smith said. "Is this a cost bracket? Yeah."
One doesn't need to look further than Linfield's quarter of the bracket. The Wildcats (9-0) are the top seed and host Pacific Lutheran at noon Saturday. Because of the small amount of playoff teams that make the tournament from the West Coast, it's more cost effective to match league opponents against each other in the first round.
"(Pacific Lutheran) is a very difficult first-round draw for most teams," Smith said. "The West is different. We don't get the patsies other teams typically get in terms of the unranked teams. You look at Wesley, they have two unranked teams in their first two games. Yeah, it's always going to be harder. The good news is, we'll be tested if we get through it."
Last year I did a story that looked into exactly why this imbalance happens, and mostly it's because most Division III teams play east of the Mississippi River. Of course, Smith sees it a slightly different way. His Wildcats have proved they are one of the elite teams in the country, and earned what is unconfirmed by the NCAA as the No. 1 seed in the tournament. Still, he thinks there is some favoritism going on hidden beneath an excuse of being financially responsible.
"You will always find a massive Midwest bias," he said. "It's not even an East Coast bias as much as Midwest. They think their teams are the best. They think everything they do is the best, and it's real."
Until Linfield, Cal Lutheran or a team like Mary Hardin-Baylor from Texas breaks through Mount Union and Wisconsin Whitewater's grip at the top, it's hard to agree with Smith. Linfield and Pacific Lutheran are the only teams not in the Midwest or Northeast to win a Division III championship.
This isn't to say that Smith is unhappy with how things shape out every year. Linfield has already broken through and consistently earns a high seed in the playoffs. The Wildcats just face a tougher road once they're in. Which can be both good and bad.
"The road is set for whoever comes out of this part of the bracket," Smith said. "It's the hardest quarter of the bracket, bar none. It has the most top 10 teams in it. Whoever wins this quarter has a chance to make some noise and has a chance to win a semifinal game and then go play those big dogs over there.
"There are some great title contenders on this side of the bracket."

Sports briefs: Horizon Travel flies past River Bend
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
DOVER — The Over-the-Hill Basketball League action continued with three games played this past Wednesday.
The third game featured another tough contest between Flynn Insurance and Legal Shield. The game was a tight contest with the lead changing hands frequently into the third period. Then, with one point separating the two teams, Legal Shield suffered a key injury which proved to be critical. From that point, Flynn Insurance was able to take control of the contest to secure a victory by a 74-57 score and sole possession of first place. Leading the way for Flynn was Greg Bolton with 21 points followed by Richard Tharp and Bill Looker with 14 and 12 points, respectively. Steve McCusker had 32 points for Legal Shield followed by Robert Clarke with 15 points.
The Clippers suffered a 51-50 loss at Exeter on Thursday night. Adair led the Clippers with 21 points, while Ireland (11 points, four rebounds, four assists) and Danny O'Leary (seven points, four rebounds, four steals) also played well.

UTEP Student Falls into Colorado River, Declared Missing
POSTED: Thursday, June 7, 2012 - 11:15am
UPDATED: Thursday, June 7, 2012 - 12:42pm
MOAB, UT — A student from The University of Texas at El Paso is missing after he fell into the Colorado River at the Gold Bar recreation area near Moab, Utah, on Wednesday afternoon.
The student, Waley Liang, was participating in a UTEP Geology Club field trip with five other students when he was swept into the river as he tried to cross to an island approximately 50 yards directly across from the recreation area, according to an incident report filed by the Grand County Sheriff's Office.
"We are extremely concerned for the well-being of Waley, and University is doing everything possible to support the family and to assist the rest of the students who are on the trip," said UTEP President Diana Natalicio.
The students were accompanied on the trip by Jose Hurtado, Ph.D., associate professor of geological sciences, and an adviser to the Geology Club. A parent of one of the students also accompanied them on the trip.
Laura Serpa, Ph.D., chair of the UTEP Department of Geological Sciences, said it is not uncommon for students to participate in field trips such as this one.
"We have numerous field trips year round for geology students," Serpa said. "We are monitoring the search effort in Utah and are ready to assist in any way we can."
The other five students who were on the trip will be flown back to El Paso later Thursday. Counseling will be available for those involved on the trip.
Liang, 21, is a junior and in his first semester at UTEP, having transferred from El Paso Community College. He is a 2009 Franklin High School graduate.

-Dissatisfaction with Federalism Grows-
aka "Obey all directives"
When a State disagrees with a Federal program, what's the solution? Apparently in Australia, abolition of the State is the logical next step.
According to "polls", 4 out of 10 Australians would have no problem living under one unchecked Federal Government.
It's a worrying trend and something we should all shudder to consider. When the institutions of dissent are removed, what will become of our precious liberties?
With parallels to the US State vs. Federal friction, this is could set an alarming precedent.Read more »
