Nintendo Patents Game Boy Emulation For Use In Mobile Devices, In-Flight Entertainment
A new patent published by the USPTO yesterday details an invention by Nintendo that would allow it to emulate its mobile game consoles, including the Game Boy line of devices specifically, in other settings, including on seat-back displays in airplanes and trains, and on mobile devices including cell phones. The patent is an updated take on an older piece of IP, so it's not an entirely… Read More
LittleBigPlanet 3 Review: A Great Platformer With A Lower Barrier Of Entry For Creativity
Sony's exclusives are strong, and the PlayStation 4 sequel to its popular LittleBigPlanet series is no exception. The platformer doesn't stretch itself far from its winning formula, but it does add enough to make this game feel like it's a new experience, and the ramshackle, crafty aesthetic looks great on next-gen hardware. Overall, this is a solid addition to the PlayStation… Read More
Monument Valley: Forgotten Shores Review
For a mobile game to be deeply moving, but also minimal enough to satisfy the needs of a casual player, is a very, very impressive feat. Ustwo accomplished that with Monument Valley, and they've managed it all over again with Forgotten Shores. Despite inferences that Forgotten Shores takes place as an appendix to the main storyline, it has its own internal narrative that is still just… Read More
Monument Valley Expansion 'Forgotten Shores' Arrives On iOS November 13
Monument Valley is a mobile game that's unlike any other mobile game out there – a puzzler that has a minimal but surprisingly deep storyline, simple but engaging and rich gameplay, and characters that are easy to feel for despite the fact that you know almost nothing about them. The game's biggest failing, if it had one, was that it was painfully brief. The brevity… Read More
Sunset Overdrive Review: A Genuinely Fun Game, Once You Get Past First Impressions
Microsoft's console exclusives are arguably what it needs to make up ground on PlayStation, despite its continued hold on the beloved Halo series. Its brand new Xbox One game, Sunset Overdrive, looks in part to be an answer to Sony's fan favorite Infamous series, since both offer a lot of grinding, wall-climbing and parkour-ish behavior. And despite a quirky face that takes… Read More
Civilization: Beyond Earth Review – Much More Than Just Civilization In Space
The Civilization series has repeatedly roped me in for disappearances that span hours and even days, and the newest instalment, Civilization: Beyond Earth continues that storied tradition.

Skylanders Trap Team Review: Good Storytelling And Simple RPG Mechanics Succeed
The 'Toys to Life' category has been a much-needed savior for the gaming and toy industry alike, bolstering sluggish sales for both by anticipating a huge demand for real-life action figures that can be 'brought to life' for use in digital games. Activision's Skylanders series pioneered the concept, and the originator is back with Trap Team, a new installment with… Read More
Pokémon Will Finally Come To The iPad, As A Virtual Card Game
Pokémon, the game franchise that I love more than most real things in the actual world, is coming to the iPad.

Threes Comes To Android, And I'm Not Just Using This To Tell You My Top Score Is 10,125
Threes, the number matching game that's part Sudoku and part Bejeweled (or Candy Crush Saga for the young folk) is now on Android. You may not think this is a big deal, if you've never played the game, but that's probably because you were on Android and unable to experience how awesome it is. The 100% original, all natural, homegrown Threes! is now available on Google… Read More
Good things come in Threes, and it's both maddening and enthralling. I'm talking about the new iOS mobile game from developer Sirvo, which combines Sudoku-like puzzle mechanics with Candy Crush-style matching for an experience that's all too addictive. How addictive? I opened it up to start my airplane ride to San Francisco from Toronto this week, fully intending to put it… Read More

It's part virtual pet, part RPG, part tech demonstration, but it turns out that's a very addictive combination. Read More
Flipcase Adds Some Fun And Games To Apple's iPhone 5c Case
Apple may not have hit a home run with its iPhone 5c case, which in my view would've been better off without the cut-out dots on the back, but those holes have proven inspiring for at least one enterprising game-maker. Flipcase, a new game from Australia's Dave McKinney and Stuart Hall, who created the Discovr music inspiration app, uses the case to its maximum advantage. Read More

Home » Girls' Soccer NewsLadyCats Take Opener at TournamentJanuary 17, 2013 By Jeff McGuire of Splendora High SchoolThe LadyCats took the pitch against district foe Liberty and came away with an impressive 5-1 victory. All week long, coaches McGuire and Nixon have stressed getting off to a quick start and netting that first goal. Fortunately, the players took the cue and capitalized early and often. Tanya Alvarado opened the scoring in the 10th minute followed by two quick goals from Clarisa Ochoa. Sandra Castillo and Amy Campbell also got into the scoring column. Morre than just the goal scoring, the LadyCats were impressive in their ball control on the field. "We dominated all aspects of the game. I belive it is the most complete match we have played this season," said coach McGuire. "We will need to play this well again in order to beat Porter, our next opponent in the tournament." The LadyCats play against the host school Porter Titans at 1:10pm on Friday. Come on out to see your LadyCat soccer team in action!

Building enterprise class software systems is one of the world's most complex endeavors. To help address this challenge, the Scaled Agile Framework is broad and deep, and the Big Picture graphic cannot possibly capture every concept that is material to understanding or implementing SAFe. To that end, we offer these pages as additional guidance on topics that deserve additional, focused discussion.
Agile Development in High Assurance and Regulated Environments. Below is a white paper on the use of Agile development in high assurance (medical, regulated, aerospace) environments. Since Agile is the best method we have found to assure quality and efficacy, it shouldn't be a surprise that we recommend Agile development here, too. In the white paper, we did the homework necessary to debunk the myth that these environments mandate waterfall development, as nothing could be further from the truth. The attached white paper lays out the case. In addition, as Rally Software commissioned the work, it shows how tooling can support many of the reports and documents that are typically required in such environments.
Capitalization of Software Development Costs. Capitalization practices are well established in waterfall development, as the up-front requirements and design phases represent the stage gates that must be passed before capitalization can occur. In Agile development however, these processes are often continuous and there are typically no such formal stage gates. In its place, this article describes three possible approaches to capitalization in the SAFe context, each with increasing granularity, including Capitalization by Percentage of ART Costs, Capitalization by Story Points, and Capitalization by Task Hours.
Continuous Delivery. SAFe and Lean-Agile thinking and practices is spurring the industry to break down development silos and provide a more continuous flow of value from concept to tested code. The promise, however, is more than that—the promise is to deliver value to customers faster, not just create internal product inventory at an ever-faster pace. For this we need not just continuous development flow, but continuous delivery. (Update: also check out this Video on the same topic by Scott Prugh from DevOps Enterprise Summit 2014).
Core Values. SAFe is broad and deep and based on both Lean and Agile Principles. That's what it's built on, but what does SAFe itself stand for? In this short article, you'll see the four things we really value that SAFe helps deliver: Alignment, Code Quality, Transparency and Program Execution. When you do those things well, a lot of goodness will surely follow.
Designing for Testability. If a system can't be routinely and (mostly) automatically tested and regression tested, development progress will be slow and will likely become continuously slower over time. Systems that are "Designed for Testability" (and refactored as necessary to continuously achieve it) are higher quality, more trustworthy, more easily modified, and more Agile.
Domain Modeling. If you are only going to model one thing in your lightweight and more agile endeavors to build really big systems, surely this is the one you need.
Features and Components. Software systems can be considered from two critical aspects: structure and behavior. Structure describes the components of the software system and the way they are organized into the whole. Behavior describes the features that deliver end user benefit. When scaling Agile development, features and components are the key paradigms around which to organize Agile teams. While Agile and SAFE lean towards feature teams, as those exhibit the highest velocity of value delivery—at least in the short term—this article illustrates how a balanced mix of feature and component teams enables a fast and sustainable flow of value.
Implementation Strategies for Business Epics. Business epics are large initiatives in SAFe that drive business value and typically cross the organizational boundaries (release trains), time boundaries (PIs), or both. It is a key capability of the agile enterprise to properly analyze and sequence business epics for implementation. While it's easy to think of epics as big, binary, monolithic, committed blobs of work, the reality is they should be implemented incrementally to achieve the benefits of agility. Moreover, once the technology, benefits, and economics are understood, some won't deserve to be fully implemented, as the initial effort delivers most of the potential business value.
Kanban for SAFe Teams. Originally a technique derived from lean manufacturing, Kanban is a lightweight way of visualizing and managing work of any kind. It's easy to adopt for software development, and provides sophisticated constructs for continuing improvement as teams master the method. Kanban provides a granular view of the flow of work through the team, illustrates bottlenecks and delays to be addressed, and increases flow by application of work-in-process limits. This article describes how Kanban can used by SAFe Teams in the content of their Agile Release Train.
Lean Software Development in SAFe. In addition to the primary feedback from practical experience, the underlying theory and principles of SAFe are based on three contemporary bodies of knowledge: Agile development, Lean Systems Thinking, and the Principles of Product Development Flow. While these principles and values are implicit in SAFe, this guidance article makes the explicit implicit, with the hope that it will further guide those doing this critical work to lightest and leanest effective implementations.
Lean-Agile Financial Planning with SAFe: The Original White Paper. In this article, you'll find some context and be able to download the original white paper that spawned Budgets in SAFe 3.0.
Mixing Agile and Waterfall Development. Agile development delivers better results in quality, productivity, employee engagement and time to market. But it takes time for an enterprise to get there. In the meantime, Agile development programs will need to coexist, and even be dependent on, programs using the traditional waterfall method. It's not easy, (but what is?) but it's doable, as this important guidance article illustrates.
Mixing Agile and Waterfall: Technical Strategies for Interoperability at Scale. In this follow up article to the above, Alex Yakyma describes four mechanisms for better linking the teams and the code, in mixed-mode development.
Pacific Express, In this short story, Alex Yakyma describes the launching of a (mostly) fictional Agile Release Train as part of an initial SAFe adoption and, most importantly, the courageous people that drive change and some of this interesting situations they face.
SAFe Principles. (Safe V4.0 WIP). In working towards the next release of SAFe (V4.0, scheduled for release in August of 2015), we've been extracting and refining the immutable lean-agile principles on which SAFe is based. In so doing we'll be able to make Principles and Practices clear and distinct, and further elaborate the principles (like "Limiting WIP" ) without worrying about elaborating the principle in the body of article. Plus multiple principles may underlie an article, so this gives us a way to link principles to articles. This Guidance page captures our work in process towards that goal.
Supplemental Model
Agile Software Requirements Model
SAFe is itself, a system. Underlying the system is a well-defined set of requirements and test types, artifacts, and organizational models that tie it all together. This "semantic backplane" is used by those implementing SAFe for managing investments, defining and tracking requirements, implementing test automation and test coverage, implementing tooling and traceability, and providing for reporting and metrics. This Supplemental Model provides the technical details on these important elements and their relationships in SAFe.

Okkervil River: "Mermaid"
Okkervil River: Mermaid
Okkervil River are currently readying their latest LP, I Am Very Far, for a May 10 release via Jagjaguwar. Today, they put out the "Mermaid" 12" single, which features two I Am Very Far B-sides. Listen to the title track up above.We recently talked with Okkervil River leader Will Sheff about the arduous process of recording I Am Very Far, making "uncomfortable" art, and the struggle of retaining mystery in songwriting. The album's cover and our interview are after the jump:
Atmosphere's Slug Talks New Album
By Tom Breihan on February 7, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. EST

On April 12, Rhymesayers will release The Family Sign, the new album from the long-running Minneapolis rap group Atmosphere. It's their first proper album since 2008's When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, but Atmosphere have kept their huge cult fanbase happy in the years since by releasing a steady stream of side projects and other releases, touring relentlessly, and curating Soundset, their own annual Minnesota rap festival. Later this month, they'll even tour some of the smaller towns in their home state. We recently spoke with the group's 38-year-old MC, Slug, about the new album, his spiritual kinship with Prince and the Replacements, and why his songs may not be quite as autobiographical as they seem.
Director's Cut: No Age: "Fever Dreaming"
By Ryan Dombal on February 4, 2011 at 5:20 p.m. EST
From Liars' "Plaster Casts of Everything" to Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Turn Into", great music videos are bursts of sound and vision that leave an indelible impression. Director's Cut is a Pitchfork News feature in which we chat with music video directors about their creations. The men and women behind the camera are often overlooked in today's YouTube era, but this feature aims to highlight their hard work while showcasing the best videos currently linking around the Internet. A little behind-the-scenes dirt couldn't hurt, too.
Much of director Patrick Daughters' work is marked by an unwavering focus. Instead of stuffing his videos with a bounty of cuts and concepts, he often hits on one (usually great) idea and executes it with perfection. With Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps", he highlighted Karen O's performance, while the creepy video for Depeche Mode's "Wrong" made the most of a guy trapped in a moving car. And while the worlds he creates can be harrowing or whimsical, they're always just a little bit off.
No Age's "Fever Dreaming" is no different. On the surface, the video seems pedestrian enough, just the band hanging out in a nicely furnished warehouse space. But as the camera slowly zooms in, the frame squeezes all the stuff inside of it, too. And then the edge of the frame takes on even more destructive characteristics. The video looks like another one-take marvel á la Daughters' clip for Feist's "1234" but, as we found out, it wasn't exactly that simple.
Click on to watch "Fever Dreaming" along with a making-of clip and our Q&A with the director about the whole ordeal:
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Talk New LP
By Ryan Dombal on February 3, 2011 at 12:05 p.m. EST
Photo by Pavla Kopecna
Pains of Being Pure at Heart: "Belong" (via SoundCloud)
The beginning of "Belong"-- the title track and new single from the Pains of Being Pure at Heart's second album, which is out March 29 via Slumberland-- features the indie-pop band casually jangling along. But it's something of a red herring. Right at the fifteen-second mark, the guitars blitz out louder and harder than anything on their self-titled debut. The gargantuan distortion recalls nothing less than prime-era Smashing Pumpkins, which makes sense considering Belong was produced by Flood and mixed by Alan Moulder, aka the guys who helped craft the sounds of Pumpkins classics like Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, not to mention records by My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, U2, PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode, and many more. Basically, if you grew up in the 90s, your ears are subconsciously attuned the studio wizardry of Flood and Alan Moulder.
We recently met up with the band at the delightfully cheesy grilled-meats chain Dallas BBQ in downtown Manhattan. As lead singer Kip Berman slurped a red, white, and blue frozen drink called the "Firecracker," he and the rest of the group-- that's keyboardist Peggy Wang, bassist Alex Naidus, and drummer Kurt Feldman-- talked about their unlikely studio gurus in semi-shocked tones. The chummy foursome were more than happy to chat about the movie Clueless and something called a Travel Pussy, too.
Click on for the Q&A, the cover art for Belong, and Pains' spring tour dates, including a trek with Twin Shadow:
Rising: Colin Stetson
By Ryan Dombal on February 3, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. EST
Colin Stetson: "Judges" (via SoundCloud)
On the surface, Colin Stetson's second album, New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges, is a solo saxophone record. But across the LP, he turns the instrument into its own weirdo one-man band, using pad-hitting sounds as percussion and even singing through the horn while he's playing quick-trigger figures. It's disorienting and engrossing, somewhere between Ornette Coleman and Tom Waits (with whom Stetson has collaborated).
But the album seems even more unusual once you learn Stetson performed almost the whole thing by himself without overdubs or loops, with many songs nailed on their first recorded take. It's not just an artistic feat but a physical one as well.
Now 35, Stetson grew up in Michigan and currently resides in Montreal. Originally turned on to the alto sax by Men at Work's "Who Can It Be Now?", he started playing at 10. He went on to compete as a classical performer in high school before getting into more adventurous fare like John Zorn and Dewey Redman while studying at the University of Michigan. Since then, he's opened for Arcade Fire and the National, and played with Waits, Laurie Anderson (who provides guest vocals on Judges), and TV on the Radio. He's planning on recording the final album in his New History Warfare trilogy this spring before rehearsing and going on tour with Bon Iver later in the year.
Until then, though, he's concentrating on Judges, which is out February 22 on Constellation. Click on to read our Q&A with Stetson about his one-of-a-kind style and The Lost Boys:
5-10-15-20: Earth's Dylan Carlson
By Tom Breihan on February 2, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. EST
Welcome to 5-10-15-20, where we talk to artists about the music they loved at five-year interval points in their lives. Maybe we'll get a detailed roadmap of how their tastes and passions helped make them who they are. Maybe we'll just learn that they really liked hearing the "Robotech" theme song over and over when they were kids. Either way, it'll be fun.
For this edition, we spoke with Earth leader and drone-metal overlord Dylan Carlson, 43.
Hear the New Isolée Album
By Tom Breihan on February 1, 2011 at 2:50 p.m. EST
Well Spent Youth is the first studio album from electronic producer Rajko Müller, better known as Isolée, since 2005's minimal techno benchmark We Are Monster. The album is out February 28 (pushed back from February 7) now on DJ Koze's Pampa imprint, and you can listen to the whole album after the jump. We've also got Isolée's tour dates below.
tUnE-yArDs Announces New Album, Tour
By Ryan Dombal on February 1, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. EST
Photo on front page and below by Anna M Campbell; album art by Alex Chitty
Innovative songstress Merrill Garbus, aka tUnE-yArDs, caught ears with her beyond-lo-fi debut album, 2009's BiRd-BrAiNs. But the album's very homemade production could be a turn-off. "If you don't have a tolerance for cut-rate sonics-- and this isn't even the warm analog stuff-- forget about it," wrote Mark Richardson in his review. "But if you do, the best songs on BiRd-BrAiNs can sneak up on you."
Still, it wasn't until many saw Garbus opening for similarly eccentric bands like Dirty Projectors over the last couple years that the full breadth of her talent became apparent. Joined only by bassist Nate Brenner, Garbus created mini-cacophonies out of looping her own big, bad voice to thrilling effect. tUnE-yArDs' forthcoming LP, w h o k i l l, out April 19 on 4AD, aims to clean up her sound a bit while maintaining the rawness that made BiRd-BrAiNs so lovable.
From what we've heard on a four-track preview, w h o k i l l manages to mix the upbeat exuberance of Vampire Weekend with some of Jamie Lidell's oddball funk and maybe even a few Bobby McFerrin vocal tricks. We recently spoke with Garbus about the new record-- click on for the Q&A as well as tUnE-yArDs' new North American spring tour dates:
Jamie Smith of the xx on Remixing Gil Scott-Heron, Working With Drake, New Music From the xx
By Ryan Dombal on January 28, 2011 at 4:05 p.m. EST
Photo by Mischa Richter
When Jamie Smith heard Gil Scott-Heron's distinctive drawl on his parents' stereo growing up, he never imagined releasing an album that featured his name alongside the revered poet's. But the upcoming remix LP We're New Here (out February 22 in the U.S. and February 21 in the UK on XL/Young Turks) features the sought-after xx producer putting Scott-Heron's voice over his own instrumentals, creating a dialogue between generations and styles.
Along with reworking tracks from Scott-Heron's 2010 comeback album I'm New Here-- which was produced by XL label boss Richard Russell, who conceived the remix record-- We're New Here features the 22-year-old Smith digging up some of the older Scott-Heron vocals he heard as a child, too.
Click on to read about Smith's concept behind We're New Here as well as some tidbits about the next xx album and hooking up with similarly minimal-minded Toronto rapper Drake:
Take Cover: Tim Hecker: Ravedeath, 1972
By Ryan Dombal on January 28, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. EST
Notable album covers catch the eye, dribble it around a little, and then snap it back into place, forever skewed. They can be funny, gross, shocking, stunning, or just plain wrong. They can define artists. With Take Cover, we aim to track down the most striking new album covers taking up web space and vinyl bins and get the story behind them.
Tim Hecker: Hatred of Music I
The photo on the cover of ambient electronic artist Tim Hecker's new album, Ravedeath, 1972, is pregnant with a sense of cartoon chaos and curiosity. It also invites many questions, such as: "Why the hell are those guys throwing a piano off that roof?!" So we got in touch with Hecker-- who conceived the cover himself-- to get to the bottom of it.Click on to read the interview and check out some more art from Ravedeath, 1972, which is out February 14 on Kranky:

Blood Pressure is Front and Center! Posted April 11, 2013 April 7 was World Health Day and it was also the 65th anniversary of the World Health Organization. The theme for this year's observance was high blood pressure, which was the first time a noncommunicable disease was the focus. High blood pressure is preventable and treatable. However, it is still the leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke. It is estimated nearly one in three adults worldwide have high blood pressure, but many are unaware. In addition, this same theme was carried through to You're the Cure on the Hill 2013. The Million Hearts campaign has the potential to raise awareness of high blood pressure and encourage Americans to Know Their Numbers and seek treatment. By modeling a campaign similar to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) "Tips from a Former Smoker," a similar impact could be made on high blood pressure. While advocates were visiting Congressional offices, they encouraged members and aides to Know Their Own Numbers. This is advice we should all take. Do you Know Your Numbers? Get screened now!

Key points of the CDC Vital Signs report on uncontrolled high blood pressure include:• About 67 million adults have high blood pressure. • More than half (36 million) have uncontrolled high blood pressure. • Nearly 22 million know they have high blood pressure, but still don't have it under control. • 16 million take medicines, but still don't have their high blood pressure under control. • High blood pressure is a major risk factor of heart disease and stroke, two of the nation's leading causes of death.

Kids With High Blood Pressure Posted June 26, 2012 Hospitalizations for children with high blood pressure and related charges dramatically increased during 10 years ending in 2006, according to a study published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension. This nationally-based study is the first in which researchers examined hypertension hospitalizations in children. Study Highlights: During 10 years ending in 2006, hospitalizations for children with high blood pressure increased dramatically. Related hospital charges to treat them also soared. Researchers suggest healthcare providers address healthy lifestyle habits during children's well visits to reduce risk of hypertension. Researchers hypothesize that the increasing hospitalizations may in part be due to the rise in childhood obesity. Learn more about high blood pressure in children.

CPPCC Marks 90th Anniversary of 1911 RevolutionA reception was held Tuesday in Beijing to mark the 90th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen which overthrew the feudal Qing Dynasty (1644--1911).The reception was held by the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and attended by Li Ruihuan, chairman of the National Committee of the CPPCC. CPPCC National Committee vice-chairman Ye Xuanping delivered a speech at the reception. Ye said that the 1911 Revolution overthrew the Qing Dynasty, ended the autocratic monarchy that had reigned in China for more than 2,000 years, initiated a democratic revolution in China's modern history, and had great influence on China's social progress. Ye noted that in the past 90 years, the Chinese people have struggled for the improvement of their lives and achieved national independence and people's liberation. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's aspiration for national rejuvenation is coming true under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC). He called on people to unite in the struggle for the complete reunification of the country.

1930s (historical) 1930s (fabric) 1935-1976 (social) |
Criterion A | The Former Coorparoo Fire Station is an important example of the upgrading of fire stations undertaken in Brisbane suburbs by the Queensland Government through the Metropolitan Fire Board during the 1930s. The building was in continuous use as a fire station from 1935 to 1976 and is important as the first of and model for the group of fire stations designed and constructed during this upgrade. |
Criterion D | The Former Coorparoo Fire Station is an important example of the architecture and planning of Brisbane suburban fire stations of the 1930s incorporating offices and engine room to the ground floor and a residence to the first floor. The interiors in both the operational and domestic areas reflect the operation of 1930s fire stations and are substantially intact. |
Criterion E | The Former Coorparoo Fire Station has aesthetic and architectural significance as a former modest, functional civic building. Robust and austere, with its simple horizontal banding and use of readily available materials, it is easily identified in the streetscape. A landmark on Cavendish Road, the former fire station is sympathetic in scale, form and materials to its residential setting. |
Criterion H | The Former Coorparoo Fire Station is a fine example of the work of the architectural firm Atkinson and Conrad. Atkinson, through the firms he was associated with, sustained a long association with the Fire Services in Brisbane commencing in 1890 with his design for the new headquarters for the Brisbane Fire Brigade. His architectural practices were responsible for many of the fire stations throughout Brisbane. It is a proto-Modern building and elements evident in the design may have been influential in popularising their use. |

PoliticsUN: defining terrorism The UN remains unable to draw a distinction between "freedom fighters" and "state sponsored terrorism". Thalif Deen | 24 Nov 2010 13:19 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, India, Israel, Sri Lanka Thoughts of Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) leader, Subcomandante Marcos, evoke a myriad of emotions, depending foremost on context and perception [EPA] When Israeli commandos killed nine mostly Turkish activists during a raid on a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to Palestinians last May, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the attack as a prime example of "state terrorism". "Even tyrants, bandits and pirates have their own rules of ethics," he said, but not terrorists killing on behalf of a UN member state. And when several internationally renowned artists, including the rock band Pixies and British rocker Elvis Costello, responded by cancelling scheduled concerts in Tel Aviv, Shuki Weiss, one of Israel's leading promoters, called the growing boycott movement "cultural terrorism". "Music and politics should not mix," he said, even as the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel was picking up steam. Perhaps not surprisingly, a UN Ad Hoc Committee to Eliminate Terrorism, created by the General Assembly back in December 1996, has remained deadlocked as it tries to reach agreement on a comprehensive draft convention to eliminate terrorism. Last month, it made another unsuccessful effort at drawing a distinction between "freedom fighters" and "state sponsored terrorism". "One knows terrorism when one sees it," said Ambassador Palitha Kohona of Sri Lanka, a former chief of the UN Treaty Section. The draft convention, tabled in 2001 by India, has won agreement by several delegations to a substantial extent. However, it is bogged down on a few crucial issues. For example, it has been proposed by some that state sponsored terrorism or certain acts of states be covered by the draft, Kohona said. Many others have resisted this proposal on the basis that acts of states are governed by other existing rules of international law and therefore, it was superfluous to cover this aspect under the draft. Similarly, said Kohona, a proposal has been made to exclude certain acts of liberation movements from the ambit of the draft convention. But this has also met with wide resistance. The proposed new comprehensive convention was intended to provide umbrella cover for situations not already addressed by the 13 existing sectoral conventions on terrorism concluded under the auspices of the United Nations. Mouin Rabbani, contributing editor to the Washington-based Middle East Report, said that achieving and applying an objective definition of terrorism is rather beside the point. He said terrorism has become a political epithet designed to place enemies beyond the pale as opposed to a technical term the purpose of which is to define certain criminal acts that violate the laws of war and for which the perpetrators can be held accountable. "Thus, in the Middle East, it has reached the point where Palestinian or Arab armed activities that target Israeli military personnel are characterised as terrorist acts, while Israeli armed activities that deliberately target civilians are characterised as legitimate acts of self- defence," he said. "We could even conclude that at least in the Middle East, terrorism refers to the ethnicity of the perpetrator as opposed to the perpetrator's actions," said Rabbani. "Thus we enter into the realm of the absurd, where campaigns to boycott Israel or more narrowly illegal Israeli phenomena, such as settlement products - acts that are by definition non-violent and don't require so much as a water pistol - are termed terrorism," noted Rabbani. The collective punishment of the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, an ongoing act that has cost numerous lives with the sanction of the United States and the European Union, is by contrast justified as a legitimate anti-terrorist campaign, he said. Dr. Rohan Perera, chair of the Ad Hoc Committee to Eliminate Terrorism, claimed the only way to reach a consensus on the issue is to follow the path of adopting an operational or a criminal law definition of terrorism, rather than a generic definition. The former approach has been followed in the 13 sectoral conventions on terrorism, and avoids the pitfalls of the latter approach which involves excluding certain types of conduct such as those committed by national liberation movements (NLM). Accordingly, he said, the draft contains a criminal law definition. "The question of state terrorism will continue to be governed by general principles of international law, as it is not possible to deal with this aspect in a law enforcement instrument, dealing with individual criminal responsibility, based on an 'extradite or prosecute' regime," he said. Similarly, said Perera, acts committed in the course of armed conflicts by NLMs will continue to be governed by international humanitarian law. "The negotiations started in 2000 and we were close to agreement in 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11 (terrorist attacks on the United States)". But since then, it has remained stalled, with little significant progress. He said that negotiations would resume within the framework of the UN's Sixth Committee dealing with legal issues. Asked if there will ever be a new comprehensive convention to eliminate terrorism because of the continuing deadlock, said Kohona: "Of course, there will be a convention." The international community has repeatedly condemned the use of terrorism as a tool of political expression and for any other purpose and therefore will seek to address the gaps in the existing international legal framework by concluding this convention. "It will also wish to send another unequivocal message to those who rely on terrorist force to achieve their goals," he said.

The characters' action is so predictable that I can see it coming from a miles away, the main cast's is used as an pitiful excuse for character development. The main cast is also filled with tropes, the tsundered, the Rei Ayanami, the Naruto and finally the dick. Over all it's like an anime soap oprea.Was this review helpful: Yes / No Report as spam

I had only finished watching around 2 shows prior (summer 2013).

I'm a action anime guy, but this was great!As many other have said on here, I fell in love with the characters! They were all so well developed and had such strong personalities.

Work Description:
Joan has always been sensitive to my design preferences while encouraging me to make more daring and exciting decisions to modernize our home. Her influence is evident in the four main areas of our house: kitchen, dining, TV and living room. I love how Joan manages to utilize what we have while helping me select new pieces to energize and refresh our decor. Most recently, Joan helped me select a sectional sofa, area rug and ottomans for our TV room to replace pillow furniture which we had used and loved for years. We are very happy with the new look and increased comfort.

The annual ŌĆ£Salute & CelebrateŌĆØ benefitting endowed undergraduate scholarships in the UALR School of Social Work will honor the work of faculty member Amy Garland Angel.
The event will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 3, at Next Level Events.
Dr. Howard M. Turney, director of the School of Social Work at UALR, said choosing to honor Angel was an easy choice because her dedication and loyalty has benefited a generation of social workers.
ŌĆ£Her contribution to social work education will influence the work of social workers for years to come. UALR is fortunate to have such a competent and skilled faculty member,ŌĆØ Turney said.
Angel plays an important role in maintaining the internship site for the UALR School of Social Work Graduate Program and also arranges more than 100 field placements for students in Arkansas agencies every year.
Salute & Celebrate will feature live music by the band Lagnaippe. Event organizers have also planned a silent auction, libations, a fajita bar, and dancing.
Tickets are $50 and all proceeds will help fund scholarships for students of UALRŌĆÖs School of Social Work.
ŌĆ£As we grow, the schoolŌĆÖs need for scholarships grow. This is an important event for the future of the School of Social Work,ŌĆØ said Turney.
Turney said that increasing higher education costs necessitates scholarships to help students achieve their goals, especially non-traditional students who must balance jobs with school.
ŌĆ£Scholarships supplement or even make the difference in a studentŌĆÖs ability to complete his or her education,ŌĆØ Turney said. ŌĆ£Some are unable to reach educational goals simply because there are no resources available. Scholarships do make that difference.ŌĆØ
For event tickets, contact Angela Elizandro at email@example.com or 501.683.7501. For more information about the School of Social Work, contact Turney at email@example.com or 501.569.8454.

"Funky Cold Medina" is a hip hop song written by Young MC, Michael L. Ross and Matt Dike,[1] and first performed by Tone Lōc. It was the second single from Lōc's debut album Lōc-ed After Dark (1989). The single was released on March 18, 1989, and rose to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 the following month where it went platinum, selling over one million copies. It peaked on the UK Singles Chart at #13 in May of that year.
The song title refers to a fictional aphrodisiac (described as a love potion[2]), which is presented in the accompanying video as a steaming potion. The lyrics tell the tale of Lōc's initially unsuccessful attempts to attract women at a bar. At the suggestion of another patron, he plies his intended with "that medina thing." He first tests the drink on his dog, who immediately latches onto his leg and attempts to arouse himself sexually, and subsequently becomes more popular with other dogs. Lōc's subsequent attempts to use the drug backfire on him; first he targets a transvestite,[3] and then a woman who becomes immediately intent on marriage (recounting his experiences on the game show Love Connection). In the end, Lōc concludes the concoction is simply not worth the trouble (and the video shows him regretfully emptying the bottle into a storm drain).
After the song became popular, several different cocktails were introduced bearing the name "Funky Cold Medina."[4]

The country is densely wooded. Soldiers are employed cutting the trees which are carefully laid together to form a road, such as are still known as "corduroy" roads in Canada.a Longitudinal sleepers are laid over and under these, and broken stones and concrete above the timber. The road lies along the Danube.
A woodcut represents this construction, Fig. 28 in the preface, p70.
Two small buildings covered with a roof of planks nailed to the wall plates and ridge beams below them are distinguishable in the forest. Two heads of spies or prisoners are stuck on spears besides one of the buildings, perhaps those of assassins mentioned in the introduction, p83.
a According to a page once found on Jeffrey Kopp's Chinook and Northwestern Jargon Pages (apparently now vanished): "A roadway formed of small logs laid side-by‑side, and named after the ribbed surface of the resulting roadway."
A good photograph of a corduroy road can be seen here.
