Phoronix: Doom 3 Source Code Published Under The GPL
The Doom 3 source-code -- based upon the id Tech 4 engine -- is now available as open-source software to the gaming community under the GNU GPL license...
yes nice go go go!
now we need a benchmark with this code in use
It's too bad the git history doesn't show the patent conflict changes :P
Interesting that they both chose the GPL3 and yet made additional modifications to the license (adding additional restrictions) hence making it completely incompatible with GPL3 code.
I think there might be some genuine legal problems with these restrictions!
Here are the terms reproduced for anyone too lazy to go to github and look:
This, at the bottom of a file that says right at the top,Originally Posted by Zenimax's Freaking Lawyers
What I don't get () is whether the terms at the bottom are even legally enforceable:Originally Posted by The Real GPLv3
1. I'm using a copyright license document developed by someone else for my software. The original developer of the license said that you can't modify the license.
2. I reproduce the license in full, and then say "END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS". As in, below this point, there are no more terms and conditions; the terms and conditions are over.
3. Then I go back and say, "ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE DOOM 3 GPL SOURCE CODE." and list some more terms and conditions! There are two problems with this:
(a), the content and force of the additional terms modifies the original license, which we already established, the original developer does not allow (presumably by force of copyright over the license text itself);
(b), listing additional terms and conditions after the text "END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS" could be considered misleading and unenforceable. It'd be like writing "You owe me your life savings" on the back of an envelope containing a signed contract, and expecting that additional language to be part of the agreed-upon contract.
IANAL but this stinks of Zenimax's lawyers not liking the warranty and liability text in the GPL, so they had to spraypaint their own in there. But its presence there is like graffiti; it doesn't belong in/on a public, standard license. And it's not just a question of good taste, or GPL compatibility, or community spirit; I think they might have painted themselves into a legally unenforceable corner.
I'd be very, very careful about using this source code for any serious projects (aside from recompiling it from source with some tweaks and playing the game with the original Doom3 assets) until the license is clarified or revised. In particular, if you intend to release your derivative work of this software under any license other than the verbatim text of COPYING.txt in the original source tree (which I can't call the GPLv3, because legally it's not the same thing), or incorporate any existing code into this software under any license other than the verbatim text of COPYING.txt in the original source tree, then you might be setting yourself up for copyright violation. If their twisted license is indeed enforceable. But even if it's not enforceable, then the question of what license it's under is still a mystery, so it wouldn't be safe to include GPLv2 or GPLv3'ed code into it.
Actually, I think we can do a little bit better than that, but not much. We should be able to painlessly integrate LGPL'ed libraries (especially LGPLv3) into this source base, because the original GPLv3 text in COPYING.txt explicitly allows this, and Zenimax's changes didn't affect that text in the license. So that's good. But that's only because the license explicitly calls out LGPL: I don't think it would be safe, in the general case, to just take any WTFPL or BSD license and assume that it's compatible with the ZPLv3 (my ad-hoc invented acronym for the "Zenimax modified GPLv3").
It's fine that they're aggregating their software with a ton of other open source projects released under basically every license under the sun; "mere aggregation" is a no-brainer and I find that completely unobjectionable (especially considering the almost universal usage of the libraries they bundle anyway). What's not fine is that they're basically trampling all over contract law and the wishes and/or rights of the FSF in being the originators of the GPLv3.
Last edited by allquixotic; 11-22-2011 at 10:12 PM.
The "changing it is not allowed" means that you cannot actually alter the GPL text itself. The FSF has always (AFAIK) allowed the addition of terms granting extra permissions (indeed, LGPLv3 is constructed this way), and Section 7 explicitly allows the addition of trademark/indemnification terms that alter the terms of Sections 15 and 16. I suggest reading Section 7 in its entirety; it's clever.
I mailed email@example.com letting them know of my suspicions about this license. We'll see what they say.
That is pretty clever, damnit! OK, so it might not be as much of an issue as I originally thought -- nice find -- but I still think it's best to alert the FSF to it and let them figure out whether the license is sensible or not. The questions in my mind that are yet to be officially answered are as follows:
1. Are the terms at the bottom of the license contractually enforceable, despite the fact that they come after the text "END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS"?
2. Do these additional terms/modifications result in a license that is incompatible with the GPLv3?
3. Is this a free software license, taken as-is, assuming that it is completely enforceable and valid contractual language? Or conversely, does its text violate any of the four essential freedoms?
4. Does the FSF agree, as copyright holders of the original GPLv3, that these modifications/additions are in accordance with permissions explicitly granted by the license to make these modifications?
If we have:
1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes
4. Yes
...then we're good to go. Otherwise, trouble.

For many years, the standard telephone line was the only way for security systems to communicate with the central security monitoring station.
If you had a fire or a burglary, the alarm would alert the central monitoring station through the telephone lines. Someone at the monitoring station then contacted the police or fire department.
Today, security companies still use telephone lines as a primary communication source. However, new communication technologies are beginning to emerge.
Because of new technologies such as cellular and internet communication, companies like AT&T are beginning to slowly phase out landline services. Even the government has announced plans for the country to eventually switch to an all-broadband network.
Obviously, this is going to impact home and business security systems.
So the big question is: What does this all mean for your home and business security systems?
It means a lot. But in short, it means you're going to get better service and protection with these new cellular and broadband technologies.
Home and business security companies are already starting to include new technologies that help security systems better communicate with the central monitoring station. These new technologies will allow you to keep your home and business more secure.
To help you understand the changes on the horizon, we will provide an overview of the new methods as well as the tried-and-true ways security systems communicate with the central monitoring station.
Phone Lines
As noted earlier, telephone lines have been the standard way for security alarms to communicate with the central monitoring station.
With standard telephone lines, there is one major problem.
If the telephone service is disconnected because of weather or because someone cut the phone line, the security system cannot communicate with the central monitoring station.
Similar problems also occur with telephone service via broadband internet. Power outages can disrupt internet service, causing communication failure between the security alarm and the central monitoring station.
Some new technologies can help protect against this and enhance your security protection. The two most popular are cellular and radio.
Cellular technologies can work as a backup system for regular and cable phone lines.
Cellular technologies in security systems work a lot like standard cell phones. Should a security system lose connection because of a cut telephone line or a power outage, a backup cellular signal can be sent to the central monitoring station.
With cellular signals, information can be sent one of two ways: directly or indirectly.
In the indirect form, your security system transmits a cellular signal to a third party – often a cellular phone provider – which then sends the signal to the central monitoring station.
In the direct form, known as GSM Primary, a cellular signal is directly sent from the security system to the central monitoring station.
Both of these technologies help to protect against downed phone lines. However, each has its limits. Cellular frequencies can sometimes take time to transmit, which can delay communication between the security alarm and the central monitoring station.
Radio Frequency
Radio frequency is becoming another popular option for security alarm communication with the central monitoring station.
Like the cellular communication, radio frequency is used as a backup when standard telephone service is down. Unlike cellular communication, radio frequency is very fast.
No communication is needed with cellular networks. This means messages between the security alarm and the central monitoring station are sent without delay.
What This All Means For You
Technology is improving home and business security. Gone are the days of disrupted security service because of downed telephone lines.
As security system technology continues to change, Hue & Cry Security Systems will continue to stay ahead of the competition. We will continue to provide you with top of the line security solutions that you can trust.
We already have incorporated these new technologies into our industry leading security systems. This means faster response times for fires, burglaries and other security issues.

Research at the AlloSphere Facility (Image 2)
January 11, 2013
A fluid dynamic environment containing bio-generative algorithms representing plant and insect-like life-forms. The image was produced as part of the Artificial Nature project at the AlloSphere, one of the largest immersive scientific instruments in the world.
The National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported AlloSphere is located at the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) building at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The AlloSphere takes scientific data that is too small to see and hear and visually and sonically magnifies it to a human scale so researchers can better analyze the data and find new patterns. Over 20 researchers can stand in the center of the sphere and be collectively immersed in multi-dimensional information. The AlloSphere infrastructure was completed in March 2007 and it is a key part of the Digital Media Center located within the CNSI.
Applications for the AlloSphere include audiovisual technologies, abstract arts and art entertainment, "green" technology, computers and networking, education, nanotechnology, physics, materials science, geography and remote sensing, human perception, behavior and cognition, and medicine and telemedicine.
To learn more about the AlloSphere, see the NSF Discovery story The AlloSphere Offers an Interactive Experience of Nano-sized Worlds. Or visit the AlloSphere website.
The AlloSphere research pictured in this series of images was supported by a number of NSF grants including IIS 10-47678, "EAGER: A Computational Framework Integrating Methods From Music Composition and Sketching for Large-scale Scientific Data Visualization in the 3-D Immersive AlloSphere;" CNS 08-55279, "II-NEW: Equipping the AlloSphere, an Environment for Immersive Data Exploration;" and CNS 08-21858, "MRI: Development of the AlloSphere, an Immersive Instrument for Scientific Exploration."

Funny, I've become really interested in food in the past couple of months as well. Do you have a recipe for that loquat and mascarpone dish? I've been thinking about it ever since I saw it on your twitter. It looks wonderful :)

I love your interior/furniture photos, you should take a photo of every place you discover new interesting dishes. it's fun to look at the connection between dishes and the interior!
Zurich reminds me of my own hometown in some ways (Bergen, Norway), a lot of interesting small shops!
I recently purchased Moscot Miltzen-frames, great glasses, but I wish they had a size between the medium and small frames. Are your frames 46 as well? - vijhài hermanJune 4, 2012 at 1:11 PM

iBooks 3.0 brings iCloud sync, vertical scrolling, and more
Just as promised during today's iPad mini event, Apple has released the new version of iBooks with better iCloud integration, enhanced sharing options, continuous scrolling, and more.
With iBooks 3.0, now you can see all your iBookstore purchases in iCloud in a new Collection called Purchased Books. Another great new feature of iBooks is the new Scroll theme; it allows you to scroll vertically through your books as you read.
iBooks 3.0 also allows you receive free updates to your purchased books including new chapters and corrections and the ability to look up definitions for words in German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. For the social types, you can also share quotes or thoughts about your books with friends on Facebook, Twitter, Messages, or Mail.
So what do you think of the new iBooks? My favorite new feature is vertical scrolling. What about you?

iBooks 3.0 brings iCloud sync, vertical scrolling, and more
Vertical scrolling is a nice touch, even though I prefer the book style. I REALLY miss the old highlighting style, especially for changing color, more steps now is kind of a pain.
Epub 3.0 support would have been really nice. Vertical scrolling is cute, but hardly ground-breaking. Might use it occasionally.
I also hate that with the new themes settings changing background colours takes extra taps, I use it all the time to switch from night to sepia and back again.
This --
And what I've added below. Once again, Kindle App keeps it simple. One tap on the font size adjuster in the menu bar, and you get one (additional) tap access to font changes, font-size changes, screen brightness changes, and all three themes available in iBooks. Why iBooks has a giant themes bar when they could easily replace it with buttons for the only three themes they offer makes no sense.
I thought Apple were the guys who were supposed to be masters of common-sense UI design?
Is it me, or did looking up words in the dictionary and highlighting text become more difficult along the way?
On the Kindle App, I just have to tap a word and the definition comes up immediately; as well as the options to highlight it, note it, share it, or look it up on google or wikipedia -- all just one more tap away.
On iBooks, one tap gets me NO definition -- just the option to tap again for the definition, or to copy, or to highlight it. Just to search a term on wikipedia, I have to tap the word and then tap THREE MORE times with all the menus and sub-menus. Why??
Plus highlighting is so much easier on the Kindle App -- if you are highlighting more than one word (as you usually are), just tap and drag your selection. Instant highlight! No tapping, selecting highlight, and then having to drag both the start and end selectors to the proper places. iBooks is just so damn tedious. Thank goodness for Calibre.
If any of these features are improved upon in the new iBooks, please let us know.
P.S. While I'm sure continuous scroll will be welcomed by some, it also seems a ridiculously tiresome way to read a long book to me. Page turns just require so much less effort; and it is nearly impossible to lose your place as it can be when you scroll some random amount and and now don't know how high on the page your eyes should be.
Web pages scroll; because they load faster that way, and make layout simpler because every user's browser window is different in both width and height; but they usually don't span more than a few page heights in length. When they do, then good site UI design dictates the author break the content into multiple pages. I can't even imagine scrolling through a book with hundreds or thousands of pages ad infinitum, without even a scroll wheel to make the job easier.
Why would this even be needed on devices with screens of so high a resolution that you can fit so much text on one page you don't need to even turn the page any more often (or even as often as) you do with a real book? Perhaps if your device only showed a few lines at a time; but this I just don't see an attraction to.
Does the new feature at least have some sort of auto-scroll mechanism? Adjustable to your reading speed and with the easy ability to pause?

Before I go make my concluding remarks about Foursquare, I want to first mention another development I learned of this week, very relevant to our class (not necessarily brand new, but this was reported on two weeks ago by TechCrunch):
Foursquare is implementing more and more peer-production! Very active Foursquare users can earn the label "Superuser," made up of three levels – each allowing greater access to participate in the development of certain aspects of the site.
- Level 1: Users are able to edit venues (including names and cross streets), mark places as "closed," and note duplicates.
- Level 2 (added two weeks ago): Users are able to merge venues themselves when there are duplicates.
- Level 3 (not added yet): Likely to contain elements such as adding badges and policing other users.
According to TechCrunch: "Shortly after the group of users got upgraded to Level 2, founder Crowley noted that 'we had some 2000+ duplicate venues in the system 30 mins ago. We're [now] down to 400.' He followed up shortly after that noting, 'it took less than 2 hours for users to go thru 90% of our merge queue."
Benkler (and the new media elite) would be proud. This seems like an efficient use of user participation for a start-up with only four employees. With users willing to help edit and produce Foursquare content, Foursquare themselves can focus on bigger issues.
Now some concluding remarks on my adventures with Foursquare:

A Whipple procedure is complex surgery to remove part of the pancreas along with the:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
You may have this surgery to treat cancer of the pancreas, duodenum, or lower part of the bile duct. It may also be done to treat people with long-term inflammation of the pancreas.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Complications that occur as a result of surgery may include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Before surgery, your doctor may do the following tests:
Your doctor may put you on a special diet before the surgery to help your body prepare. If you are not able to eat, you may need to go to the hospital several days before surgery. You will be given glucose and fluids through an IV.
Talk to your doctor about your medications, herbs, and dietary supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep during surgery.
For open Whipple procedures, a large incision will be made in the abdomen. The head of the pancreas and the gallbladder, duodenum, and pylorus will be removed. Nearby lymph nodes may also be removed. The remaining pancreas and digestive organs will be reconnected. This will allow the digestive enzymes from the pancreas and stomach contents to flow into the small intestine. In some cases, the pylorus is not removed. The doctor will close the incision with stitches or staples. The incisions will be covered with bandages.
For laparoscopic procedures, a camera and small surgical instruments are inserted through small incisions into the abdomen. The organs can be removed and reconnected through the openings. After the area is carefully examined, the laparoscope will be removed. The doctor will close the incision with stitches or staples. The incisions will be covered with bandages.
You may have many small tubes placed after the procedure. Some will help drain fluid from the surgery site. Another tube may go into your stomach to help prevent nausea and vomiting. A tube may go to your intestines so you can receive nutrition.
After surgery, you will stay in the intensive care unit for several days. This will help the doctors and nurses monitor your progress.
4-8 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You will need to stay in the hospital until your intestines begin to work again. This usually takes 2 weeks. You may need to stay longer if there are any problems.
During surgery, your doctor may have placed a jejunostomy tube (j-tube). You will receive nutrients through this tube until your intestines are working normally. After the tube is removed, you can gradually progress to a soft diet, then to regular food.
Other tubes will be removed as you recover.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
This surgery will affect the way your body digests food. You may feel bloated or full after eating. You may have nausea and vomiting. Talk to your doctor or dietitian to learn how you should eat. You may need to start new medications to help with digestion and medications to help control your blood sugar. Follow instructions about wound care to prevent infection.
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Flu Season is here .... Do you Need a Rapid Influenza Test Kit?The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advice this flu season as "severe" and flu was already widespread in 36 states in the days before Christmas. The H3N2 strains are behind 90% of the cases and the vaccine for this flu season doesn't include this virus strain. It's very important for doctors to have a rapid flu test to diagnose their patients and give proper care. Medical Disposables provides a CLIA Waived Influenza Test Kits that get results in minutes. What are the Benefits of Drug Testing with onsite drug test kits?Studies have shown that companies that utilized drug testing were able to reduce absenteeism, accidents, workers compensation claims, loss of productivity, and employee turnover. According to the US Department of Labor, "Drug use in the workplace costs employers $75 to $100 billion dollars annually in lost time, accidents, health care, and workers compensation costs. Sixty-five percent of all accidents on the job are related to drug or alcohol, and substance abusers utilize 16 times as many health care benefits and are six times more likely to file workers compensation claims then non-abusers." Workers that are abusing drugs are also less productive in the workplace than their peers, and far more likely to switch jobs frequently. All of these costs add up for a business! Considering how much it costs to recruit, hire, and train a new employee the cost of drug testing is completely justified. Your business will benefit buying drug test kits in bulk which will reduce costs significantly.. For employers and staffing agencies, drug testing is usually the last step before a potential candidate is welcomed aboard, and the need for fast results is often high. In-house or on-site drug test kits is an economical method of testing employees and potential candidates for staffing and corporate companies. Most standard drug test results from a laboratory can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours, while in-house drug test kits; results can be available within minutes. This means, that an employer can find out much faster if a candidate does not pass their test, which in turns helps the hiring process by moving to the next candidate quicker.

My wife insisted that I keep an eye on her while she get one of those pussy examine because, it was her first time and the doctor is a man. I did get a kick out of a man sticking his middle finger up my wife's pussy. She actually moaned loud once and moaned softly three more times when he stuck his finger deep in there and moved it arouond. I asked her about that later and she claimed it was pain. But I don't know if she is telling me the truth because, those moans sure sounded like pleasure to me.

I separated from my husband 6 months earlier and moved into a new city with my now boring boyfriend. I got a job as an exotic dancer and have to get a physical and shots for it. He was a 32 year old asian doctor and we immediately hit it off. We joked around and then it was time for the pelvic exam. He was amazed that I was 40 and thought I was 28. I told him that I stay out of the sun and work out 5 times a week. As he sled his two fingers inside of me, I told him to check it out carefully and not miss a thing. He took the hint and slowly massaged the inside of my pussy for 2-3 minutes, which made me moaned softly for the entire time. He took his fingers out and immediately apologize for being unprofessional and said this has never happened before. I told him I loved it and asked him to see me dance. He came by the club a week later and I offered him a free half hour private dance. Inside the private booth, he just lost it and was all over me, which got my pussy all wet and swollen. I grabbed his penis and guided it inside of me and he fucked me till the bouncer knocked on the door to tell us time is up. I then apologize to him for being unprofessional and said this has never happened before, which is true because, I don't fuck the customers. I quitted my job and dumped my boyfriend and started dating the doctor. I have had intercourse with 18 other men prior to him and the doc was the best because, he was so gentle, thoughtful and was attentive in the smallest detail.

Palestinian Unity Would Pose New Headaches
By Sheera Frenkel
Rival Palestinian leaders met in Cairo this week to discuss prospects for a reconciled government. For more than four years, the Palestinian Authority has governed the West Bank, while the militant Islamist group, Hamas, has ruled the Gaza Strip. But any government that included Hamas would face serious obstacles.

Cowboy Poetry celebrates 25 years
Diana JorgensenThis year marks a very important year in the saga of Cowboy Poetry gatherings at the Sierra Grange Hall in Vinton. It's the 25th year of performances of an event so popular it spilled over into a second yearly event in the summer.
The original March event typically heralds the beginning of spring in eastern Plumas County and this year's performances will be held March 18 – 19.
In honor of the event, the Grange has arranged for a sure-fire trio of returning performers. At the top of the list, Waddie Mitchell, who appeared at the premier performance of the Vinton Cowboy Poetry Show, will return with his tradition of cowboy stories that originated growing up on Nevada ranches. Mitchell was one of the organizers of the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko in 1984, the only Cowboy Poetry show older than the Vinton show.
Mitchell's talent and longevity as humorist and poet earned him the Wrangler Award, presented by the Oklahoma City Cowboy Hall of Fame in the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.
Another popular artist featured at previous Vinton shows, Sourdough Slim, brings humor, yodeling and cowboy songs to the stage in March. He has been performing since 1988 — at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center and, yes, the Elko Cowboy Gathering.
Accompanied by accordion, guitar, ukulele and harmonica, Sourdough's music is part of a fast-paced show where whimsical humor meets vaudevillian camp in a uniquely cowboy way. Sourdough Slim, also known as Rick Crowder, has a gift for connecting with audiences.
Gary Allegretto appeared in Vinton in 2009 and was an instant hit with the audience. So, he and his harmonica are back once more to please our local crowds. American Cowboy Magazine says, "This good-natured cowboy singer-songwriter blows you away with his talent on that mouth harp. You've never seen or heard anything like it."
Allegretto is a five-time Western Music Association nominee, was considered for two Grammy awards and has been featured on soundtracks for major motion pictures.
He will provide a special treat by offering his popular harmonica workshop at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 20, at the Grange. The cost for the workshop is $20, which includes a harmonica and sheet music. Deals like that don't come around every day!
Tickets for the Cowboy Poetry Show are $20. Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday night with a Saturday matinee performance at 1 p.m.
The dinner bell will also sound on both days — on Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. and between Saturday's performances from 4 to 7 p.m. On Friday, the crew at the Grange will be serving their famous corned beef dinner, while Saturday's menu will feature roast beef. Dinner tickets are $12.
Treat yourself to a delightfully entertaining performance and wonderfully tasty dinner — all in the tiny town of Vinton on Highway 70.
To order tickets or for more information, call Betty Ramelli at 993-4692.

White Sox host Rangers for Civil Rights Game
Santiago, Darvish square off in MLB's seventh annual contest
The White Sox will host the Rangers in the seventh annual Major League Baseball Civil Rights Game at U.S. Cellular Field on Saturday night.
It will mark the third time the White Sox will have participated in a Civil Rights Game, as Chicago played in the 2008 and 2009 games against the Mets and Reds, respectively. Last year's game took place in Atlanta.
While the White Sox have played in past Civil Rights games, this season's game will be the first the team has hosted. And it won't be the last, as it will again be played on the South Side in 2014.
The Rangers will be participating in their first Civil Rights Game, and players from both teams are honored to take part in what they say is more than just another baseball game.
"We as human beings, we should recognize equality, and I believe that every person is the same and deserves equal treatment," said Alex Rios. "It's good that MLB is doing something to recognize that on the field and I'm glad to be a part of it."
"This is my second time I get to play in it," said Adam Dunn. "It's an honor. I think that's how everybody looks at it."
Before the game, MLB Beacon Award recipients Bo Jackson and Aretha Franklin will be recognized on the field, with four-time All-Star Willie Horton accepting Franklin's MLB Beacon of Change Award on her behalf.
Tonight's first pitch will consist of a generational "passing of the ball" representing baseball's critical role in the civil rights movement and the enduring spirit of this important era that lives on today. The ceremony features Ernie Westfield, former Negro Leagues pitcher for the Birmingham Black Barons; Minnie Miñoso, former Negro Leaguer, White Sox legend and the first professional athlete of color in Chicago; Sharon Robinson, daughter of Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson and MLB Educational Programming Consultant; Larry Doby, Jr., son of Hall of Famer Larry Doby; Jamal Martin, member of the White Sox Amateur City Elite (ACE) team; and Joseph Debrah, participant in MLB's Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program. Six-time All-Star and Assistant Hitting Coach for the Chicago White Sox Harold Baines will catch the first pitch.
Platinum-selling, international recording sensation Charice, who is also performing at the MLB Beacon Awards Luncheon, will sing the National Anthem. "America the Beautiful" will be performed by local schoolteacher Gerald Chaney during the 7th inning stretch.
Other highlights of pre-game ceremonies include a special recognition of the new commemorative stamp by the U.S. Postal Service to honor the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, and a check presentation to the Chicago Urban League and La Rabida Children's Hospital by Hall of Famer and MLB Executive Vice President of Baseball Development Frank Robinson and Chicago White Sox Executive Vice President Ken Williams.
As for the contest itself, the records of the respective teams indicate they are headed in vastly different directions, with the White Sox occupying last place in the American League Central and the Rangers atop the American League West with a 3 1/2-game lead over the Athletics.
But despite dropping the series opener, the White Sox have been playing well as of late, winning six of their past seven games and 12 of their last 18.
"It's nice to finally be playing some good baseball that gets rewarded with some wins," said Paul Konerko. "If you string something together like we have, there's a little different energy, even knowing you're way back in the standings."
The Rangers have won four straight, 14 of their last 17 and nine straight road games as they try to put some distance between themselves and the Athletics in a tight AL West race.
White Sox: Santiago sees success when pitching to contact
The White Sox will send Hector Santiago to the mound against the Rangers. He has pitched well in 7 1/3 career innings against Texas. In three appearances, including one start, he's given up one run on three hits and struck out seven.
The left-hander is coming off a solid outing Aug. 18 against the Twins, when he gave up one earned run while scattering nine hits over six innings. Santiago, who has 120 strikeouts on the season, fanned seven Tigers on Aug. 2, but only nine over three starts since.
He said he's been trying to pitch to contact, and it's been working.
"Earlier in the season, every time I had two strikes or every time I had a chance to get a strikeout, I tried to," Santiago said. "It's not always about how many strikeouts you have, it's about how many innings you pitch and how many zeroes you put up."
Rangers: Darvish loves pitching late in the season
Yu Darvish takes the hill for the Rangers. The right-hander has struggled in two career starts against the White Sox, giving up nine earned runs on 15 hits, along with six walks over 12 1/3 innings. He yielded four runs in six innings in a 10-6 win against the White Sox in Arlington on April 30.
Darvish has been very good as of late, however, posting a 3-0 record with a 2.15 ERA so far in August. He says August has always been a good month for him.
"Even in Japan, there have been many seasons where I was just getting warmed up in August. I threw really well toward the end. Physically and mentally I feel fine."
Worth noting
• With their win against Chris Sale in the series opener Friday night, the Rangers have won eight consecutive games started by an opposing left-handed pitcher. The last southpaw starter to beat Texas was Baltimore's Chris Tillman on July 21 in Arlington.
The Rangers hope to continue that streak against Santiago.
• Despite dropping the series opener, the White Sox have won 10 of their last 15 meetings with Texas, including four of their last five at U.S. Cellular Field.

If you've heard little to no talk, how do you know it'll be amazing?
just because no one is talking about it doesnt mean i dont pay attention to "smaller title" releases, put a lil effort in to finding out about the game and you'll have your answer. The only games that are really being talked out on a regular are AC3, Halo, Medal of Honor and Black ops II (unfortunately).
Posted 12 October 2012 - 07:23 AM
Just asking.meh , It looks like every other Bethesda game out there...
I just got done with my first play trough(I killed everything) and it certainly didn't feel or look like "every Bethesda game out there". And believe me I've played most of them if not all of them.

The system of "chaos" was kind of annoying. They want you to not kill people so you can get a good ending but they give you like 30 regular bolts , 10 bullets , and a bunch of explosives and only 10 sleep darts .killing someone from behind takes 1 second and knocking them out takes like 5 seconds. It's as if they want you to use lethal tactics...
The game doesn't really feel like a stealth game (like MGS), It's more like a first person game where you can hide.
I also didn't like how cartoonish the characters look.
Posted 23 October 2012 - 07:24 AM
Not killing anyone is supposed to be a lot harder.
In games like MGS you really can't do anything but stealth, you die way to fast to do it the normal maniac route.(At least the one I tried, which also had waaaaaaay too long cut scenes by the way)
Here you have a choice, kill everything and everyone or don't kill a soul and use 20 times longer but get a better outcome.
Also, you had a bad opinion of this game from the start, so that's kind of a major factor. It's like me and Cod.

Despite his time away from the recording studio, the acclaimed singer/songwriter, winner of the 1991 Grammy Award for Best New Artist, has continued to perform live and his audiences have remained steadfast. He en¬dured the pain of divorce, but in 2002 he married news anchor Elizabeth Vargas. He struggled with writer's block and sought to break through it with a month-long tour in the summer of 2005. The gigs went great until the night of August 7, 2005. That's when Marc Cohn was shot in the head during a random attempted carjacking after a concert in Denver.
Even though the bullet was lodged near his left temple, Marc never lost consciousness and walked out of the hospital the next day. Three weeks later, while recovering at home in New York from post-traumatic stress disorder, Cohn watched the city of New Orleans destroyed by flooding in the aftermath of Hurri¬cane Katrina.
"I got home a couple of days after being shot," said Cohn. "And then Hurricane Katrina hit a few weeks later. I'm in the middle of my own crisis, and now I'm watching all these haunting images on television of thousands of people suffering through a far more horrific event. And then something I never could have predicted happened. It was like my song writing receiver got flipped into the on position. Everywhere I turned, in conversations I overheard, even in get well emails I was receiving, song ideas started coming. For several weeks, I'd be working on 2-3 songs simultaneously. And these songs weren't polite about their sudden presence either; they insisted on being written."
Out of all this, and all that came before, comes Join the Parade, a recording that is being called Marc's most accomplished and compelling album to date. Cohn has translated some of his most complex and private emotions into lyrical song-poetry and then set those words to music of remarkable depth, toughness, and complexity. In doing so, Marc has created a work that is certain to touch a universal chord of memory and feeling. The music leads us on: Indeed, its deep grooves, layered textures, and soulful singing make this journey a sensual pleasure. Marc and album co-producer Charlie Sexton (Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams) have enlisted an exceptional supporting cast that includes members of Cohn's road band (guitarist Shane Fontayne, drummer Jay Bellerose), top session players (drummers Jim Keltner and Charley Drayton, guitarist Danny Kortchmar), and such bold-face "name" guests as Tom Petty keyboard ace Benmont Tench and vocalists Shelby Lynne, N'Dea Davenport, and the Holmes

text: The Bush administration lied about the reason it decided to deprive detainees of Geneva Convention rights and protections. The real reason was that Bush and his lawyer decided that it was the best way to protect the President and other officials from criminal prosecution. Please continue to support the work of the IndictBushNow movement by making a much-needed donation. On January 11, 2002, the United States announced that it was refusing to abide by the 1949 Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war. The Third Geneva Convention, which provides specific guidelines for treatment of prisoner combatants, is a part of the "law of nations" and is a mainstay of international humanitarian law. The United States explained that the prisoners taken in Afghanistan and Pakistan were not actually prisoners of war, but were in fact "unlawful combatants." The Bush administration always knew its programs were illegal and that they could be prosecuted for them. In January 2002, then-White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales advised Bush to deny prisoners of war protections under the Geneva Conventions. Doing so, Gonzales argued, "substantially reduces the threat of domestic criminal prosecution under the War Crimes Act" and "provides a solid defense to any future prosecution." Bush's decision to end Geneva Convention protections sent a message to the U.S. military and intelligence services to commit war crimes. It was a decision that shocked many, including those within the military who rely on those protections for their own personnel. Now, Bush is gone. There is a new president and a new attorney general. We could never expect justice from Bush's Department of Justice, but now we have the chance to make Bush's and Gonzales' worst nightmare - "future prosecution" - come true. Please take a moment right now and send a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding immediate investigation and prosecution. Bush officials, in their supreme arrogance, believed they could just annul the laws they didn't like - that this would "provide a solid defense" when they left office. It is our obligation in defense of the Constitution and fundamental principles of human rights to ensure they are held accountable. Crucifixion in Iraq The torture program that Bush set in motion has claimed untold lives. On November 4, 2003, an Iraqi prisoner named Manadel al-Jamadi died of asphyxiation while being interrogated by the CIA. "A forensic examiner found that he had essentially been crucified; he died from asphyxiation after having been hung by his arms, in a hood, and suffering broken ribs," the New Yorker reports. The Department of Justice has long known about the ghastly death of Mr. al-Jamadi, as well as other war crimes and human rights violations committed against detainees in U.S. custody. But they have failed to prosecute, fearing that new torture revelations will inevitably implicate the government's top brass, including the officials of the Bush administration. Taking it to the Streets The indictment movement is also moving full steam ahead supporting a June 25 rally in Washington, D.C., as part of an international Torture Accountability Action Day. We are meeting at John Marshall Park (501 Pennsylvania Ave. NW) for a rally from 11am to 12noon, and then marching to the U.S. Department of Justice. --From all of us at IndictBushNow.org Please Donate Today Please help us continue this work with a generous donation.

Indian Valley Hospital reuse study is complete
The reuse study for the old Indian Valley Hospital building has been completed and is ready for review.
Indian Valley Health Care District Chairman Guy McNett will make sure there is a copy for the public to view at the Greenville Branch Library.
The documents are available on a compact disk, and the library has computers for viewing.
There were two comment periods; the last one has been extended to June 30, 2011, to give at least one interested party extra time to formulate a comment.
While engineers found the building to be sound, they also found it needed major repairs and maintenance.
The electrical system is out of date, although the plan notes only minor repairs are needed if the building is not remodeled significantly. If it is, they note a significant cost will be incurred to upgrade the system to current code.
The plumbing, heating and cooling systems, on the other hand, need major repairs or replacement.
Engineers noted it would not be feasible to re-permit and use the geothermal system for its designed purpose of heating the building, unless the cost of electricity increases "significantly."
Of all the uses explored, engineers noted the health and wellness center to be the most cost-effective option, due to minimal remodeling needs.
It was also the option shown to have the best potential to create more jobs in the near future.
The proposal for the wellness center was withdrawn, however, during the same meeting the plan was made available for the first time.
Meanwhile, in September directors decided to move ahead with plans to declare the hospital and business properties as surplus in preparation for a possible sale.
"Somehow this district has to generate a half to three-quarters of a million dollars to get us out of that chapter nine," McNett said during the September meeting.
The district has been in bankruptcy since 2003.
The surplus declaration has not yet been formalized, although McNett might ask for a special meeting to do just that.
Barring a special meeting, the next meeting of the Indian Valley Health Care District will be Monday, Dec. 6, at 5:30 p.m. in the Indian Valley Civic Center, 430 Main St. in Greenville.
