AHLer goes after Blues prospect Rattie off ice, cops end fight
Mar 22, 2014, 2:56 PM EDT
AHL Rockford IceHogs defenseman Bobby Shea, 23, had already done enough to potentially warrant supplemental discipline before things took a turn for the bizarre in Friday's game against the Chicago Wolves.
He charged at 21-year-old forward Ty Rattie, one of the St. Louis Blues top prospects, and elbowed him in the head and everything escalated from there.
Shea dropped the gloves and fought Rattie, earning himself five minutes for elbowing, five for fighting, and a game misconduct. However, what truly makes this incident unusual is the fact that Shea didn't let a thing like getting booted from the game stop him.
As Rattie was heading to his team's dressing room, Shea left the rubber mat heading to the IceHogs' room, crawled across the concrete, and then tried to fight Rattie again. This time it was the police that ended the fight.
Shea was handed a second game misconduct.
"That was something else," Rattie told the Chicago Tribune. "He crawled. I don't know why he crawled.
"He could have just walked across. It was weird. He got me with one (punch) and the cops jumped in."
You can view the incident below (skip to 14:20):
H/T to Puck Daddy.

That's absurd. Players like this Shea character don't belong in the game, the first fight itself is Shea's fault seeing as he elbowed Rattie. Ty Rattie is a good, smart young kid, offensive guy and not a dirty player by any means…I don't know what it was that made Shea go so crazy about this. He should get suspended for the rest of the season for his actions following the first game misconduct. Pathetic.
- charlieconway96 - Mar 22, 2014 at 3:09 PM
Ahhh, makes me nostalgic for the days of the IHL growing up.
He crawled because he clearly cares more for the future of his skate blades than he does his career.
- husky2score - Mar 22, 2014 at 3:12 PM
Don't know why Shea crawled he would have plenty of time to sharpen the blades when he's serving his suspension.
- esracerx46 - Mar 22, 2014 at 4:27 PM
Perhaps he wanted his name next to Happy Gilmore in the record books? Dull blades wouldn't work then.
- alicesrightfootesq - Mar 22, 2014 at 3:28 PM
Sweet stealth moves. He's like sh!tty Assassin's Creed.
- esracerx46 - Mar 22, 2014 at 3:37 PM
Wish stuff like this could make your contract void.
- esracerx46 - Mar 22, 2014 at 3:39 PM
On a lighter note, its good to see the rivalry between the Blackhawks and Blues starts in the minor leagues.
- prd797 - Mar 22, 2014 at 3:45 PM
I mean, the Wolves and Piggies have never liked each other. Swapping affiliations doesn't swap out the hatred.
- esracerx46 - Mar 22, 2014 at 3:53 PM
True. They play each other again tonight so that should be entertaining.
- sjsharks66 - Mar 22, 2014 at 3:46 PM
what an idiot!
- whammy71 - Mar 22, 2014 at 5:30 PM
Looks like Shea will be able to find a home on the Filthadelphia Cryers. His caveman hockey instincts will fit in perfectly with his teammates and he'll quickly become a fan favorite with the mouth breathers that attend Cryer games.

The singer was too ill to perform, not too ill to talk about other times he's performed while under the weather
Justin Timberlake stopped by "The Tonight Show" to promote his 1,410,567 upcoming projects, including the film "Runner Runner" and his upcoming album "The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2."
There was just one problem: he wasn't feeling well.
Hyped up on an "antibiotic-prednisone cocktail" but too sick to perform for Jay Leno's audience, the showman instead regaled them with tales of past illness woe when despite his physical state, the show had to go on.
"I've had the ones where you have the garbage bucket right by the side of the stage, and every time the lights go down you run over and you exorcise the demons," he said. "All that McDonald's."
Interestingly, Timberlake was a McDonald's pitchman a few years ago. Probably not anymore.
But McD's isn't the only food that's made Timberlake's stomach turn — an 'N Sync tour stop in Brazil once gave him food poisoning the night before a big show.

"That was pretty bad," Timberlake said.
Leno was sympathetic: "I can imagine."

Gambler (3.5e Prestige Class)
From D&D Wiki
" | Ah yes! I know Lady Luck quite well. She is not a stranger to me... or my bed. | " |
Some see luck as being too unpredictable or even non-existent. Others see luck as a potent ally, simply waiting to be directed by skillful hands. These wielders of luck are called Gamblers. They play a game every time they step out the door.
Gamblers are tricksters and con-artists by trade. They traverse the dungeon and pub with the same gait, applying the same card-up-the-sleeve tactics to every aspect of their life. The Gambler lives an 'enchanted' life, misfortune never seems to visit him for long. Subterfuge and and sleight of hand always seem to be the winning bet.
Rogues and Bards and Sorcerers find themselves naturally attracted to this lifestyle. Even some civilized rangers can find manipulation of luck beneficial. Although rare, clerics and chaotic paladins devoted to morally ambiguous deities can see the benefit of this class. The more martial classes would find it difficult to embrace this change of career.
- Alignment: any Chaotic
- Base Attack Bonus: +2
- Ability: 12 Charisma
- Skills: Bluff 7 ranks, Sense Motive 7 ranks, Sleight of Hand 7 ranks
- Special: You must learn about both sides of luck, the good and the bad. Find another Gambler and gamble with him once every night for one week. On the seventh and last night of gambling, you must gamble with at least 1/4th of all your wealth at stake, including gear. Whether you win or lose, through your interactions with the Gambler, he will teach you how to improve your luck and how to craft specialized cards and dice.
Level | B.A.B. | Saving Throws | Special | Class Features | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5th | +3 | +1 | +4 | +4 | My Lucky Day | +1 level of existing class features | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Class Skills (6 + Int modifier per level) |
Class Features[edit]
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Gamblers gain proficiency with dice and playing cards. Gamblers gain no other armor, weapon, or shield proficiencies.
Class Features: At each level after 1st, you gain class features (including spellcasting ability) and an increase in effective level as if you had also gained a level in a class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain the benefit of your previous class's Hit Dice, attack progression, skill points, or saving throws. If you had more than one class before becoming an uncanny trickster, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining class features.
Beginner's luck: At level 1, the Gambler is able to modify his luck, for good or bad. Every day, the Gambler gains Beginner's Luck charges equal to 2 charges/Gambler level. The Gambler can expend one Beginner's Luck charge to add his Gambler class level as a luck bonus/penalty to a skill check, ability check, save, caster level check, attack roll or damage roll. If a damage roll would be reduced to below 0, it simply deals 0 damage. However there's only a 51% percent chance that the number will be positive. Roll a d100, 1-49 means negative, 50-90 means positive, 91-100 means positive at double the bonus. If it is negative, you suffer only half the penalty rounded down to a minimum of -1 (+Bonus=-Penalty: +1=-1, +2=-1, +3=-1, +4=-2, +5=-2).
After you get the result, you may repeat this process until you run out of Beginner's Luck charges. At level 5, if you expend all your Beginner's Luck charges on one roll, if you don't roll a 91-100, then the most bad luck you can get is -20 and the most good luck is +50.
1d100 | Bonus |
1%-49% | Negative Bonus |
50%-90% | Positive Bonus |
91%-100% | Double Positive Bonus |
Level | Negative | Positive | 2x Positive |
1 | -1 | +1 | +2 |
2 | -1 | +2 | +4 |
3 | -1 | +3 | +6 |
4 | -2 | +4 | +8 |
5 | -2 | +5 | +10 |
Reversal of Fortune: The Lady of Fortune smiles on the Gambler even when he has bad luck. At level 2, once per day, the Gambler may use Reversal of Fortune to have a critically missed attack (a natural 1 on an attack roll) instead be considered an uncomfirmed critical strike.
Lady Luck's Kiss: At level 3, the Gambler gains a luck bonus equal to his charisma modifier to all of his saves. This bonus stacks with other bonuses.
Miss Fortune: At level 4, the gamblers luck improves greatly, for good or bad. The Gambler may choose to add his charisma modifier as a luck bonus/penalty to all rolls he makes. This bonus stacks with bonuses/penalties gained from Beginner's luck. This can be applied to rolls for skill checks, ability checks, saves, caster level checks, attack rolls, and damage rolls. If a damage roll would be reduced to below 0, it simply deals 0 damage. Attacks or spells that deal damage with multiple dice, you only add your bonus/penalty once, for example; a 6th level Sorcerer's fireball deals 6d6 fire damage, with Miss Fortune it becomes 6d6 + Miss Fortune bonus/penalty; a melee attack with a falchion deals 2d4 damage, with Miss Fortune it becomes 2d4 + Miss Fortune bonus/penalty. However there's only a 51% percent chance that the number will be positive. Roll a d100, 1-49 means negative, 50-90 means positive, 91-100 means positive at double the bonus. If it is negative, you suffer only half the penalty rounded down to a minimum of -1 (+Bonus=-Penalty: +1=-1, +2=-1, +3=-1, +4=-2, +5=-2, +6=-3, +7=-3, +8=-4, +9=-4, +10=-5).
My Lucky Day: At level 5, due to the Gambler's constant love affair with Lady Luck, his enemies are always unlucky. 2/week, the Gambler is able to reduce the 'luck' of one target and increase his own. The Gambler makes a ranged touch attack as a full round action with a range of 30ft. If the touch attack is successful, the target must then make a Will save (DC= 10 + 1/2 character level + charisma modifier). If the target fails the Will save, the target has a -5 luck penalty all attack rolls, saves, and caster level checks for 24 hours.
In addition upon successfully reducing an enemy's luck, for 24 hours, when the Gambler uses Beginner's Luck or Miss Fortune, when he rolls a negative, it is treated as a reduced bonus instead of a penalty (+Bonus=+Bonus:+1=+1, +2=+1, +3=+1, +4=+2, +5=+2, +6=+3, +7=+3, +8=+4, +9=+4, +10=+5).
- The luck penalty to enemies can stack with itself, but not with any other luck penalties.

Recently I read two articles about the dismal state of the writing business. People aren't buying books. Self-publishing has glutted the market. The large number of freebies means readers don't ever have to actually pay for a book. After being stung a few times by unknown authors or badly-prepared books, people turn to the work of authors they know and keep buying, even if the author has written the same book twenty times.
It's pretty depressing.
I have, however, a single sheet of reminders that I look at from time to time. Written a long time ago, they remind me not to worry too much about the state of the business. They remind me to write, and let the rest of it go.
1. I write the kinds of books I like. There's no sense chasing trends. I probably wouldn't do it well, and the trend might change before I get something done anyway.
2. I'm not in this for the money. (Sorry for those of you who are; I know it's tough.) I write because I love, love, love it, so I consider anything I make as a plus.
3. Honestly, I'm not in it for fame, either. I sometimes forget this and wish someone on the NYT would notice me, but then I remember that recognition brings a lot of things I wouldn't like. I think I'm happier hearing from the small group of readers who like my work and encourage me to keep writing.
4. This one might sound like sour grapes, but I think it's simply honest: The judgment of the world is often pretty bad when it comes to writing. Just think back to the bestsellers of the '70s or '80s if you don't believe me. I look at many "great novels" of our time and wonder if anyone actually reads them or is it simply cool to say you did. Like the emperor's new clothes, no one wants to be the unenlightened one who says, "This seems like gibberish to me."
So those are the things I remind myself of from time to time. They help me remain grounded, help me recall that all that outside stuff doesn't matter if I produce a book I'm proud to call mine.

Dubious Sites
So while earning
free gift cards
on InstaGC, I found a Trialpay offer to sign up for
. I got paid about 70¢ for the signup, but it seems Clickperks is dubious at best, so while I will enjoying my InstaGC credit (as soon as Trialpay coughs it up), I will not be participating in Clickperks on a regular basis.

Hmm, it does seem as though the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, which has been seen by many to be the upcoming competitor and soon-to-be bitter rival of the iPad mini, to be a tablet worth checking out, and we have only seen white colored versions of it to date.
The folks over at PhoneArena, however, have managed to receive an image of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 that comes in Charcoal Black from an anonymous tipster (it always works this way for some reason). First announced at the recently concluded Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, Spain, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 will rely on a 8.0" TFT display and runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean that has the Touch Wiz Nature user interface on top of it, aided by an 8-megapixel camera, a quad-core Exynos 4412 processor that zips along at 1.6GHz, and 2GB RAM. Do you think Charcoal Black suits you better, or would you like to see other colors instead, just as any self-respecting consumer electronics device should?

I'm trying to insert about 500 million rows of garbage data into a database for testing. Right now I have a PHP script looping through a few SELECT/INSERT
statements each inside a TRANSACTION
-- clearly this isn't the best solution. The tables are InnoDB (row-level locking).
I'm wondering if I (properly) fork the process, will this speed up the INSERT
process? At the rate it's going, it will take 140 hours to complete. I'm concerned about two things:
statements must acquire a write lock, then will it render forking useless, since multiple processes can't write to the same table at the same time?I'm using
(inside aTRANSACTION
). Will this logic break when multiple processes areINSERT
ing into the database? I could create a new database connection for each fork, so I hope this would avoid the problem.How many processes should I be using? The queries themselves are simple, and I have a regular dual-core dev box with 2GB RAM. I set up my InnoDB to use 8 threads (
), but I'm not sure if I should be using 8 processes or if this is even a correct way to think about matching.
Thanks for your help!

Adding Ceiling Light From Switched Outlet
I would like to add a ceiling light to an existing switched outlet and then unswitch the outlet. The power starts at the switch and goes to an unswitched outlet before going to the switched outlet. There is one more unswitched outlet after as well. The switched outlet has a red, white, black, and ground wire. Can I replace the outlet, pigtail the white and black to the outlet and then pigtail the existing red to a new three cable to the light fixture?
That should work.
Here is a link about doing the change you need. http://www.selfhelpandmore.com/switc...switched-plug/ |

Continuous-wave Z-scan measurement of photorefractive SBN:60
Applied Optics, Vol. 39, Issue 29, pp. 5360-5366 (2000)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (143 KB)
A cw-probe Z-scan technique was employed to measure the photoinduced index change in a photorefractive SBN:60 crystal. For this experiment a three-detector data-acquisition system was used to account for temporal changes in the laser. The effects of various beam parameters such as intensity, polarization, and wavelength were studied. A theoretical simulation of the Z scan based on a band-transport model of photorefractive-index variation was also developed. This model provides reasonable agreement with the experimental results.

Kidnapped Australian released in Pagadian
ZAMBOANGA (1st UPDATE) -- After more than a year in captivity, Australian national Warren Rodwell was released by his kidnappers in Barangay San Pedro, Pagadian City in Zamboanga del Sur province past 1 a.m. Saturday.
Basilan Vice Governor Al-Rasheed Sakalahul headed the negotiation for Rodwell's release. Emissaries were sent to communicate with the kidnappers.
But Sakalahul said it was already the family of Rodwell who had direct communication with the kidnappers on Friday after earlier state efforts to negotiate for his release failed.
He declined, however, to comment whether a ransom was paid for the release of Rodwell.
Rodwell arrived in Western Mindanao Command (Wesmincom) headquarters in Zamboanga City on board a US chopper past 6 a.m.
Clad in black jacket and pants, Rodwell obviously lost weight after about 15 months in captivity.
Local media were prohibited to cover the arrival of Rodwell, citing security reasons from US military officials.
Wesmincom Col. Rodrigo Gregorio also declined to give further details on Rodwell's release.
Police said Rodwell, who is also suffering from dehydration, is still confined at Camp Navarro General Hospital.
Reports said Rodwell was kept by suspected Abu Sayyaf Group kidnappers in Basilan.
Earlier videos posted online by his captors showed they were demanding $2 million in ransom.
The Australian media, meanwhile, reported today the Australian government never paid ransom and will not comment on arrangements made by Rodwell's family.
Police said they have already coordinated with officials from the Australian Embassy regarding plans of bringing Rodwell home.
Rodwell was kidnapped by armed men in his residence in Green Meadows, Ipil municipality in Zamboanga Sibugay on December 5, 2011.
He is married to a Filipina and has been staying in Zamboanga Sibugay for quite some time. -- With a report from Jewel Reyes, ABS-CBN News Zamboanga

Great experience. Felt very comfortable with his treatment and staff. They are really up to date on back treatment technology - very different from other chiropractic offices - they were much better. I recommend them. The exam was very detailed and he found my problem and fixed it where other doctors could not.

The 2014 Oscars are almost here and, much like the tail end of the infamously long awards telecast, we saved the best categories for last. The Best Actress nominees this year are a strong crop: Amy Adams delivered plunging necklines and a dual identity in "American Hustle," Cate Blanchett gave an intense performance in "Blue Jasmine," Sandra Bullock was out of this world in "Gravity," Judi Dench charmed in "Philomena" and Meryl Streep took us to the floor in "August: Osage County." But in this gaggle of gifted actresses, who will take home the honors?
Who Will Win: Cate Blanchett
Cate Blanchett wowed critics with her portrayal of fallen socialite Jasmine French in Woody Allen's latest offering. She scooped up this year's Golden Globe in the category, not to mention the SAG Award, the BAFTA and many others. Girlfriend is, deservedly, on a roll, one that will likely continue Sunday night.
Who Should Win: Sandra Bullock
Flashback to last October, before everyone was pretending not to be impressed by "Gravity." Sandra Bullock carried the movie on her shoulders, delivering her performance largely from inside an insane box that director Alfonso Cuaron built to help give the illusion that Bullock really was floating alone in space. And here's the thing: We believed that she really was. A huge part of the awed reaction to "Gravity" was due to Bullock's stunning performance, one that, as the movie loses the luster of its release, has faded out of the public's favor.

X-Men (2000) is the long anticipated screen adaptation of Marvel's famous misfits. Though they launched in comic book form in the early 1960s with the rest of the mighty Marvel universe, it wasn't until the 1970s that they carried the banner of teen angst and general outsiderness always attractive in this superhero house. And the movie adds heft to the four-color newsprint on

im not exactly sure why these leaf springs were painted black. seems like a waste to paint something black and ship them out of box with only a tag attached. i received them very scratched and chipped up. i haven't put them on yet because i have to locate the necessary hardware. they may ride very nicely but i wish i was the one who got to scratch them up, also i have no idea if these are even SKYJACKER brand there is no marking or box or even sticker!

The springs do not fit. My shackle now inverts and nobody knows why. Auto anything wasn't very helpful just told me to call skyjacker direct. Springs are way to stiff with no flex. Please look around! Now I have springs that sit in the garage and can not be refunded cause they were installed and have 2 miles on them. Price is cheap ya but spend the extra and buy a different brand. Bolt on doesn't mean bolt on here. I replaced 4" block with the 4-6" spring. It sits up 3" more then the front

From: Toronto, ON
Region: Canada
Topic: Watering
Title: Water use rate calculations from Toronto ON
Answered by: Barbara Medford
Can the high medium and low water use categories be quantified into a rate, say volume of water required by square foot of planted area? How are the water use categories established?ANSWER:
This is a little out of our area of expertise. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, home of Mr. Smarty Plants, is dedicated to the growth, propagation and protection of plants native to North America which, of course, includes Canada. In Texas, where we live, the consumption of water is a constant subject of discussion, because of our continuing drought. Watering is often restricted to certain hours and/or certain days, so we are always recommending plants requiring low water use for gardeners in our area.
We were unable to locate any sites online that had specific information on what your soils and rainfall were like in order to help you decide. We did find one site that might be of service from Washington State University Garden Math.
Since we are gardeners and not hydrologists, we tend to go with experience. We would suggest you contact the Toronto Water Meter Program to see if they have material on this problem.

Jordanian Workers Potash Strike Action: 2nd week, counting
Majed Adaileh, head of the Arab Potash Company's (APC) workers association in Southern Ghor, on Tuesday blamed the company for losses incurred during the employees' strike, which has entered its second week.
Estimating the losses at around JD4 million daily, Adaileh said the company could have prevented them by resolving the issues of its 2,400 workers at a cost of less than JD10,000.
He said the staff's demands include end of service compensation, annual pay raises, scholarships for their children and an increase in overtime payments. Meanwhile, the APC issued a statement saying that the workers receive higher salaries than their peers in the public sector and some private institutions, adding that the highest salary for employees stood at JD2,400 and the lowest at JD850.
The company added that the employees also receive four extra months salary a year in addition to other benefits and incentives.

'Downton Abbey,' the video game?
January 28, 2013
By Meredith Blake
For "Downton Abbey" fans, the temptation to insert one's self into the action can at times be overwhelming, never more so than during Sunday night's heartbreaking, four-hanky weeper of an episode . Didn't we all want to jump into the show and rush Sybil off to the hospital or, failing that, push Lord Grantham and Sir Philip in front of a speeding train? Now, thanks to an exceedingly clever person named Bill Kiley , that reality is one step closer (if not quite realized)
LACMA curators lobby for new pieces at Collectors Committee event
April 27, 2014
By Deborah Vankin
Nine o'clock on a Saturday morning might seem a tad early for an art opening, but this one, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is particularly spirited. About 200 people -- trustees, patrons, museum curators and others, some of whom have flown in from Dallas and New York for the event -- stream into the lobby of LACMA's Resnick Pavilion, where a range of works have been staged across three galleries. At one end, a dapper man in a plaid sports jacket inspects an 18 th century painting by Antonio de Torres, "Virgin of Guadalupe," with a magnifying glass (plucked from a bowl of them at the exhibit entrance)

By Alex Pham, Los Angeles Times
The video game industry hit the pause button on sales in May, posting its lowest monthly revenue from U.S. retail stores such as Best Buy Co. and GameStop Corp. since October 2006. Sales of games, consoles and game accessories such as extra controllers dropped 14% last month to $743.1 million, down from $866.8 million in May 2010, according to a report released Monday from NPD Group, a market research firm. "A light slate of new releases is at the heart of last month's performance," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier.
The legend is real: Hundreds of lost Atari cartridges unearthed in N.M.

As one online commentator put it, "This is like discovering a UFO for gaming. " The writer was referring to the dusty scene captured in a YouTube video shot in the New Mexico desert, where makers of a film documentary began digging in a landfill in search of "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial," a failed Atari video game made more than a generation ago. "E.T. " was a great film, but the game was a bomb, flop, fiasco. On the bright side, its complete failure did produce a video game urban legend on a par with more mainstream legends like Bigfoot and the Jersey Devil.

The people behind the "Payday" video game franchise have a lot going on. They're making a movie based on "Payday: The Heist," the 2011 cult hit video game, for 2014. The game's sequel is coming out in August, and they're now working on the third installment. Plus there's a Web series. Video games as source material for films is not new. What's different about these projects is that the video game makers and the filmmakers are working together throughout the process. PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments Juggling all those projects means taking multiple angles on the same intellectual property and thinking in ways filmmakers typically haven't, said Greg O'Connor, producer of the upcoming "Payday: The Heist" film.
THQ, video game publisher, reduces quarterly forecast

THQ Chief Executive Brian Farrell attributed the shortfall to weak sales of uDraw, a game that lets players draw pictures on a tablet device that's connected wirelessly to consoles. The tablet, which was originally priced between $70 and $80, is now selling for about $50 at retailers such as GameStop.
Video game consoles' dominance is crumbling

By Alex Pham and Ben Fritz, Los Angeles Times
At the video game industry's first Electronic Entertainment Expo 16 years ago, Sony Corp.'s PlayStation and Sega's Saturn dazzled attendees and defined the cutting edge of coolness with their CD drives and three-dimensional graphics. This week, as the industry gathers in downtown Los Angeles for its annual E3 extravaganza, some experts are questioning how significant those boxes of electronics really are in a rapidly changing video game business. After dominating the market for decades and making their way into 1 out of every 2 U.S. homes, consoles are beginning to face serious competition as teenagers and adults increasingly play games designed for smartphones, tablets and online social networks.

Florida man charged with killing son whose cries hindered video game

Cody Wygant was an avid player of video games like "Aliens Extermination" and "Call of Duty. " The role-playing games were so important that the persistent screams of his 16-month-old son was too much of an annoyance, according to the Citrus County sheriff's office in Florida. So Wygant, an unemployed resident of Homosassa, Fla., about 90 miles west of Orlando, suffocated the boy and left him in a playpen, officials allege. "It is inconceivable that a father could kill his infant son -- it just baffles the mind," Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said in a statement.

Shannon Studstill is helping lead female charge in video game field

As a child, Shannon Studstill sold gum to her classmates to finance her weekly trips to the video game arcade. That early investment in "Pac-Man" and "Defender" would pay huge dividends.

NCAA document shows push for college athletes' names in video games

Nathan Fenno
Electronic Arts Sports and the Collegiate Licensing Co. wanted to use the names and likenesses of college athletes in video games, according to an NCAA document unsealed in federal court Wednesday. The report was among hundreds of pages of documents that U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken ordered to be made fully or partially public in the long-running antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA fronted by former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon. The case is scheduled for trial in June and, in the interim, the document dump provides another window into the often contentious issues of amateurism and compensation raised by the case.
They thought he had a 'D' in there somewhere

It's a breakdown that might startle Lakers fans. Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni said he spends 75% of practice time on defense. "That's our main focus of every practice," D'Antoni said. "Our main focus on film is defense. We know that you cannot be a good team unless you play defense. You don't win games unless you play defense and everybody knows that. " The Lakers beat the Boston Celtics on Friday night in part by playing better defense, holding their rivals to 18 points in the second and fourth quarters of a 101-92 victory at Staples Center.

'Uncharted' looks to get back on course with Seth Gordon at the helm
February 5, 2014
By Oliver Gettell
"Uncharted" has proved an unintentionally fitting name for the on-again, off-again film adaptation of the video game "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune," about a globe-trotting treasure hunter. After bouncing around Hollywood for years, the project has reportedly plotted a new course yet again, this time with Seth Gordon at the helm. Deadline Hollywood reports that Sony Pictures Entertainment is negotiating with the "Horrible Bosses" director to take on the film, which is envisioned as a large-scale action movie about the swashbuckling adventurer Nathan Drake, a descendant of the famous explorer Sir Francis Drake. The latest version of the script is by David Guggenheim ("Safe House")
