Avinesh Kumar v. Republic of Sudan, Civil Action no. 2:10cv171 (E.D. Vir. 2011), presents an interesting case of judicial resistance to the resurrection of prior claims in the context of an international litigation, even where Congress has sought to enlarge plaintiffs' rights arguably to embrace such resuscitation.
In earlier litigation, the Court addressed the terrorist bombing of the American navy vessel U.S.S. Cole on October 12, 2000. The Court found that "Sudan had actively provided Al Queda with material support", that the support was "critical" to carrying out the attack, and that the material support "led to the murders of the seventeen American servicemen and women". The Court also entered judgment in favor of the plaintiffs for $7,956,344.
While an appeal was pending from the judgment (which also dismissed claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress), Congress enacted Section 1605A of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, which "creates a new cause of action against state sponsors of terrorism" and expressly allows recovery for "solartium, pain and suffering, and punitive damages", unlike the Death on the High Seas Act, which the Court had earlier found provided the only remedy to the plaintiffs. The Court of Appeals remanded the appeal to the District Court to determine the effect, if any, of the enactment of Section 1605A. Other procedural issues aside, the Court was finally faced with a new suit by 59 (0f 61) plaintiffs who were also plaintiffs in the prior suit. Sudan refused to defend the second suit, and the question before the Court was whether a default judgment was warranted.

HAMLET — Stewart Niemyer sat while his son Logan, 16 months old, tore into a Christmas gift on Wednesday morning.
Only they weren't at home in their pajamas. They weren't surrounded by the comforts of home — well, not their primary home, anyway. Instead, they were sitting by an unlit fireplace at the Hamlet Fire and Rescue Department. Niemyer reported to work at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, and started his day with a breakfast that included homemade biscuits. Niemyer has worked the past two Christmases.
"This is our family," Niemyer said. "I feel like I'm with my extended family being here."
Shortly before noon, nearly a dozen fire fighters and family members gathered to celebrate Christmas and share time together. Chuck Heaton was there. He had received a firefighter piggy bank from his family, who had skipped over opening gifts at home to come to the fire hall and be with Heaton. For them, the sacrifice was well worth it. Alex Heaton, 19, said she's proud of her father and wouldn't want him to have a different career.
Pam McKay, of Marston, and Franklin McKay's mother, prepared Christmas lunch for those at the fire hall. The lunch included pumpkin pie and homemade fruit cake for dessert. McKay started at the department in 2011, and has worked each Christmas Eve or Christmas since then, and Pam has prepared a meal each year. As to call volume, "it's hit and miss and usually EMS-related."
Those responsible for public safety are considered essential personnel. There is no day off; there are people to take care of no matter the hour, no matter what the calendar reflects. Kellee Phillips, a registered nurse in Women and Children's Services at FirstHealth Richmond Memorial Hospital in Rockingham, was splitting her 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. shift on Wednesday between obstetrics and the nursery.
Phillips was able to squeeze in a few minutes with some family that had dropped by, though. There were three babies born on Tuesday night that needed her attention. The good news was there were no children in the hospital at that time.
"We don't admit unless it's absolutely necessary on holidays so they can be home," Phillips said.
Next to Phillips sat fellow nurse Steve Taylor, who was not in a very jolly mood not because he was at work, but because he has a stomach virus. Taylor was able to watch his family open presents on Wednesday morning via FaceTime on his iPhone.
"I felt included," Taylor said of the interactive experience.
Unlike the nurses, the doctors are on call today. The skeleton crew consists of key people and, if help is needed, it's only a phone call away.
"We're the eyes and ears for the doctors," Taylor said. "If they're needed, they come."
Some might say Taylor has bad luck. He worked Thanksgiving and Christmas and is scheduled to work New Year's Day as well. Still, he wouldn't choose another career.
"(You) have to take the good with the bad," Taylor said.

Business Intelligence: A Strategic Imperative in the Current Healthcare Economy
Date Added: Jul 2009
Format: PDF
In today's climate, healthcare providers face increased economic, regulatory and competitive pressures, all of which threaten to reduce revenue and squeeze already decreasing margins. Rising bad debt costs due to the uninsured, increased government scrutiny and a rise in hospital consumerism are forcing hospitals to improve clinical, financial and operational performance. The recent downturn in the economy has only exacerbated many of these challenges, driving hospitals to cut costs through layoffs and freezing capital spending - drastic moves and abrupt changes for an industry traditionally seen as insulated from economic woes. These actions may aid in alleviating short-term financial challenges; however, they do very little to help achieve the long-term outcomes of efficient, high-quality healthcare.

This is from our afternoon at the beach yesterday. My baby girl checking out her first sandcastle! Made courtesy of her daddy. She very gently felt the top of it & slowly demolished it. I was suprised she didn't try to eat the sand. My son made her a second one so she wouldn't be without. He's such a good big brother! He really takes care of his sis!
The sheet, behind her, was where I tried to get her to play, but she, like her mommy, loved the feel of the sand between her toes & got mad whenever I pulled her back! I find a sheet works better than a towel, it's bigger, for one, and sand doesn't stick to it.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/18/14
Chris Carpenter walked off the mound, and the fans cheered. Giants fans, that is. The orange towel-twirling crowd at AT&T Park saw San Francisco send the St. Louis star to an early exit in a 6-1 win Sunday night that forced the NL championship series to Game 7. Carpenter allowed five runs in four shaky innings - identical to his loss earlier in this matchup. Not what the Cardinals had come to expect from him in the postseason, a resume that includes a Game 7 win in last year's World Series. And so the wild-card Cardinals were pushed to the brink of elimination once more. They're plenty familiar with that situation. Carpenter and St. Louis won the decisive Game 5 of the division series at Philadelphia last season, then the Cardinals overcame a 3-2 deficit in the World Series to beat Texas. They won the winner-take-all wild-card game at Atlanta this month and rallied in the ninth at Washington in Game 5 of the division series. Now they must do it again. Giants ace Matt Cain ...

MacPhail Sundawg Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011
Pinot Noir from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
This small vineyard consistently comes up big, and this vintage carries on that tradition. A very pretty nose, with aromas of sour cherry and bright red fruits (think Pomegranate) dressed up with Asian Five Spice. Supple, bold tannins and flavors of raspberry are showcased in a finish that just might make you stand up and cheer.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "The Sequana Winery has had enormous success with this vineyard over the years, and now MacPhail dips into it, with impressive results. The first impression is of acidity, mouthwatering and tangy. Then the flavors explode into a rainbow of red cherries, pomegranates, persimmons and exotic spices. "
The Wine Advocate - "Another Green Valley offering is the powerful 2011 Pinot Noir Sundawg Ridge Vineyard, which is made from an interesting clonal composition consisting of Dijon clone 115, and the Calera and Pommard clones from California. Aromas of forest floor, earth and red fruits jump from the glass of this dark ruby-colored wine. A strikingly good Pinot Noir in a tough vintage, it possesses lots of texture and complexity."
Tasting Panel - "Deep ruby color; fleshy and ripe with black cherry, spice, meat and concentration; balanced and mellow, long and dense."

MacPhail Winery
James MacPhail grew up just north of San Francisco in Marin County where, since the 1880s, members of his father's family have been pillars of the local business community. James' mother was raised on a dairy farm in western Sonoma County; she remained tied to her Tomales Bay community, regularly engaging James in the lives of the region's farming families. A passion for business and a love for the land are at the center of MacPhail family life.
In 2002, James launched his own brand: MacPhail Family Wines. The wine business satisfies James' interest in the land, his penchant for the artistic and his pledge to service. He selects and works with growers who share his commitment to sustainable farming and understand the significance of terroir-based, singular quality wine. "My dream has been to make something from the earth that I can share with others," he says.
After making wine for six vintages in rented space, James took a step few small producers take — he built his own winery — in his back yard. Reflecting James' respect for the environment, the understated building takes advantage of natural light and night-cooling fans. The winery recycles all wastewater in a constructed wetlands. James makes wine – naturally, in small batches, by hand. He is a believer in traditional, old world techniques and minimal intervention.
Grower/winemaker James MacPhail is also the sales and marketing director. His business model is based on maintaining personal relationships with the individuals who purchase his wine as well as the restaurants and wine shops that sell his MacPhail Pinot Noir. "I take very seriously the honor of being a part of people's tables."
With a group of dedicated growers under contract, a winery just steps from his kitchen and delicious wines in the cellar, James has made Healdsburg home for both business and family. In this small community, wine brings people together every day, enhancing both food and friendship. "This home matches my vision," says James. "It is located in a winegrowing region with a long history of agriculture and small family farming." View all MacPhail Wines
About Sonoma CountyRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Attention to all teenagers, we are very pleased about your interest in our home, however we cannot rent it to HS Students, for after-proms, West Point Cadets for 500th Night, and other such parties. This is not about you in particular but one of those instants where a few bad apples ruined it for every one. Good luck in your search we're sure you'll find a place.
The house is at the top of a hydrangea lined driveway. It is the only house in view. From the house you will see a view as lovely as any in the Catskills and the Hudson River region. There is an extremely large lawn in front of the house and a large garden.
You enter the house through the mud room where you can hang your coats and take off your shoes and gear. Next you will enter the kitchen. It is a large modern kitchen with marble counter tops, two sinks, double oven and two dish washers. This is a home made for entertaining. There is a large gas barbecue just outside by the pool or you could go out to one of the countless restaurants in the region. To the right are floor to ceiling windows with glass doors that open on to the salt water swimming pool. Moving through the kitchen on the right are two bedrooms and in front of you the sun room made for relaxing and enjoying the view.
The dining room table seats 12 comfortably and past that is the living room. Large over stuffed couches and chairs surround the fireplace in as cozy a room as one could ask for. Just outside of the living room is the porch where you can sit in or out of the sun even on a rainy night. Enjoy the view and the humming birds that grace us with their presence every year. Up the steps is a sitting room and the entrances to four bedrooms. Up another flight is the the fully-finished attic which can sleep five comfortably. Going down a flight from the living room you enter the office where the WiFi is located. Through the glass doors to the outside is the lawn, another sitting area and the wood for the fireplace. Next to the office is the laundry room and the Steinway upright. Next to that room is television Room, a lovely bathroom, and another bedroom. Outside of the TV room is the hot tub, which shares the view with the sun room. Stunning on a wintery night, but also lovely in the summer.
The lawn is encircled by the driveway that leads to the right up to the house and straight around to the garage. When one is up for a short walk in the woods, one can cross the driveway to the west and enter the woods on the path. You will walk past the tree house, through the Maples that will soon give way to mountain pines. Continuing on the path you will find the stream that is a watering place for local animals like deer and raccoon.
Returning home you may have worked up a sweat and you can walk back directly to the swimming pool . The salt water is medicinal in many ways and no shower is needed after your swim.
In town, I'd recommend, Maggie's Crooked Cafe, for breakfast, The Last Chance, Antiques & Cheese Cafe, for lunch, and Pancho Villa's Mexican Restaurant, for Dinner. American Glory BBQ, a recent immigrant from the hipster paradise that is Hudson, New York, has just settled in comfortably on Main street. Live music and a beautiful bar await you for after hours at the Last Chance Tavern, hidden behind a secret shelving unit in the Cafe. Tannersville hosts, several restaurants, featuring Pizza, Chines food, and a classic stainless steel clad diner, we gaurantee that if you dont want to If the performing arts are your thing, the recently renovated Orpheum Theater, a remnant of the legendary, Orpheum Chain from the teens and 1920's is back, showing, movies, live theater, music and hosting the annual, Catskill Mountain Jazz Festival.
NOTE: For your information, all holidays, this includes, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Presidents Day, Martin Luther King, et al, and all other three Day weekends and religious holidays, incur a special rate due the increased desirability of those days.
NOTE: Please Check the Special Offers Page Often Because of our far ranging family, sometime holidays show up there.
Another Reminder: Attention to all teenagers, just another reminder, we are very pleased about your interest in our home, however we cannot rent it out for after-proms and other such parties. Good luck in your search we're sure you'll find a place.
Remember: All guests must be 25 or older or accompanied by an adult.
This house is absolutely gorgeous! My husband and I enjoyed a winter weekend getaway and loved it. The large chef's kitchen, fireplace, hot tub, and decor make this house a true retreat. With an outdoor pool and large lawn, it would be wonderful in summer too. The house is only a few miles from Hunter Mountain Ski Resort and even closer to shops and restaurants. Great views can be enjoyed from all rooms, and the large lot provides a serene and private environment. So close to the city, yet feels like another world. A beautiful, relaxing, and well cared for home that will make you feel truly pampered. The owners are wonderful to work with.
This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. I spent 2 weeks there with my family, including 2 teenagers. The property has something for everyone. Outdoors there is a spectacular pool and deck, hot tub with open views of the mountains, a wide lawn perfect for sports or just fooling around and a wrap around porch. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with walking trails leading to a mountain stream. Inside there is an amazing eat in kitchen/family room with chef's grade appliances, a dining room that seats 10 and a cozy living room with a fireplace. Every bedroom is nicely decorated and comfortable. Although it was one of the hottest weeks of the year, we enjoyed cool mountain breezes during our stay. It was peaceful, private and relaxing, but a short walk into town, and less than half hour's drive from several wonderful hiking trails. I cant reccomend it highly enough
This completely modernized farm house has been lovingly restored and modernized. The design layout and furnishings are professional and unique. This is the perfect place to host an extended family or for good friends to gather.
The perfect modern open kitchen opens out to a large salt water pool,and grill to make entertaining a breeze. The front porch and lawn overlook the mountains and the cozy but large living room has a wonderful fire place and cozy seating. There is a hot tub for 6 and plenty of nearby activities including easy hikes, home made ice cream and the friendly town of Tannersville, where we found several good restaurants and interesting stores.
Each bedroom is decorated differently and furnished with antiques and finds and my children enjoyed sleeping in the loft like attic. Even when full, the house affords privacy and restful quiet. This is a wonderful country retreat with spa amenities. I plan on returning with some college friends and their families to enjoy a vacation together.
The size and expanse of this beautiful house and property are immediately obvious, but the house manages to be cozy at the same time it is large. The sun room and living room are inviting, and the kitchen is a cook's dream come true, placed with a pass-through to a large dining room. One could spend all their time in those 4 adjacent rooms and be totally satisfied, but the house has 7 bedrooms, a jacuzzi and pool, and magnificent views, making this the perfect house for a large family gathering or entertaining guests.
This home is a jewel in the heart of the Catskills. My family and I have had the pleasure of staying here multiple times and each stay reminds us why we come back. The home is beautifully maintained. The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need to host a wonderful gathering. The pool is delightful as is the hot tub. And, after a day of eating and drinking and swimming and soaking, retiring to the living room and sitting in front of a roaring fire is the perfect end to the perfect day, or weekend or week.
The town of Tannersville is quaint and has everything you need, if you care to leave the grounds and venture out. Plus, Woodstock and the surrounding towns are just a short drive away.
We will be returning in the future. Thank you for your hospitality.
The nearby Kaaterskill Falls, (3-4 miles)is the second highest waterfall in New York. Second only to Niagara Falls. There are many festivals in the region celebrating, International Music, Folk Music, Rock Music, and Dance Music. There are also many cultural festivals, celebrating, Irish, German, and Polish cultures. In the town itself there are wonderful events in the summertime like the , Wacky Races, where people build there own vehicles and race them down Main Street. Hilarity ensues! There are vintage car shows and recently there was a Rip Van Winkle, who slept a long time on our mountain, Carving Contest and Auction for a local charity.

Oosterschelde storm surge barrier
604 Views
Measuring nearly eight kilometres in length, the Oosterscheldekering barrier is a special dam that connects the Zeeland islands of Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland. This part of the Delta Works was built to protect the Zeeland region from the sea after the North Sea Flood in 1953.
Protecting the environment
The Oosterscheldekering storm surge barrier is a unique and internationally acclaimed flood protection project. The original plans called for a closed dam. This led to a lot of objections because the water behind the dam would have lost its salinity and salt water fish and plants would have disappeared.
Moveable barrier
That is why a barrier was designed that could be closed in emergencies. The moveable part is nearly three kilometres long divided over three sluice gate-type openings. Colossal piles support doors that move up and down to open and close the barrier. All in all it is a beautiful example of Dutch hydraulic engineering that is definitely worth a visit.

Double Dragon II: The Revenge (ダブルドラゴンII ザ・リベンジ Daburu Doragon II: Za Ribenji?) is a side-scrolling beat 'em up produced by Technōs Japan originally released as a coin-operated arcade game in 1988. It is the sequel to Double Dragon, released during the previous year. A home version for the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in 1989 which differs drastically from the original arcade game. Other home versions were also released for the Mega Drive and PC Engine.
Arcade version[edit]
The arcade version of Double Dragon II: The Revenge begins with Marian, the damsel in distress from the original Double Dragon, being shot to death by the leader of the Black Warriors. Once again, the players assume the role of brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee, who are now tasked with the duty of avenging Marian's death. The arcade version of the game is essentially an improved version of the original title. The biggest change in the game's controls are in the replacement of the original's punch and kick buttons with two directional-based attack buttons (Left Attack and Right Attack) similar to Renegade. Pressing the attack button of the player's current direction will do a standard series of punches, while pressing the opposite attack button will perform a back kick. A few new moves are added as well, including a Hurricane Kick.
Almost all of the returning enemy characters from the first game were given makeovers and new moves which they can use against the player. The weapons that can be used by the player have also been redrawn and modified from the previous game. The steel bats and dynamite sticks for example, were replaced by shovels and grenades.
Like in the original game, the arcade version of Double Dragon II is divided into four missions: a heliport, a lumber storehouse, a wheat field, and the new hideout of the boss. Each stage has its own boss character with his own theme. After defeating Willy (the final boss from the original game) in the fourth stage, the player will confront a double of their own character for the game's final battle. If two players reach the end together, then both will each to have to face their own clone for the final battle.
Home versions[edit]
Double Dragon II: The Revenge was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System on January 1990 in North America, with a PAL version released sometime afterward. This version was developed and published by Technōs in Japan, with the English version produced by Acclaim Entertainment.
The NES version is not a port of the arcade game, but rather serves as a loose adaptation, much like the first NES game. While the basic premise of Billy and Jimmy Lee going on a mission to avenge Marian's death is the same, the main antagonist was changed from Machine Gun Willy to a new enemy known only as the "Mysterious Warrior", a rival martial artist who challenges the Lee brothers with his own supernatural fighting style. Unlike the first NES game, Double Dragon II can be played by up to two players simultaneously. The game offers an "A mode" where both players can't harm each other and a "B mode" that allows friendly fire.
The structure of the game is completely different. While the first stage resembles the one from the arcade version, the level designs deviates completely from Mission 2 and onward, with scenes set in a variety of new locations such as the interior of a moving helicopter, an undersea base and a series of trap rooms. There are a total of nine stages in the NES version. Before each stage, a cut-scene is shown (similar to the ones in the NES version of Ninja Gaiden) consisting of still imagery and text which provides the setting of the stage. The enemy characters are roughly based on the ones featured in the arcade version, but some of them carry different weapons or have new fighting techniques, such as Rowper's ability to throw boomerangs at the player. Besides the final boss, the other enemy characters that are introduced in this version are the "right-hand men" that serve as recurring sub-bosses from Mission 2 and onward, and the ninjas that appear at the end of Mission 2 and later on in Mission 8.
The game retains the directional-based combat system from the arcade version. Unlike the first NES game, the player has full access to Billy or Jimmy's entire repertoire of moves from the beginning. In addition to the Cyclone Spin Kick introduced in the arcade version, two additional special moves were added to the player's set of techniques, the Hyper Uppercut and the Flying Knee Kick. These two moves are performed while the player's character is crouching, which is only possible after landing from a jump or recovering from a fall.
The Family Computer version (released in Japan on December 23, 1989) has a few differences compared to its NES counterpart besides the obvious language change. Both versions feature a choice of three difficulty settings at the start of the game. However, the Famicom version allows the entire game to be played on any difficulty setting, whereas the NES version restricts the game's length based on the level chosen: the easiest setting ends the game on the third stage, whereas the final stage is only accessible on the hardest. The difficulty levels are also balanced differently in the Famicom version, with the platforming sessions in Mission 6 being easier on the Easy and Normal setting than they were on the equivalent settings in the NES version, while enemies have more health on the hardest setting. The NES version requires the player to input a cheat code at the game over screen to continue the game at the previous stage, while the Famicom version gives this option as a standard feature.
The NES version was re-released on the Virtual Console in North America on June 21, 2012 for the Wii and on June 12, 2014 for the Nintendo 3DS and on August 14, 2014 for the Wii U.
Mega Drive[edit]
The Mega Drive version of Double Dragon II: The Revenge was released by Palsoft exclusively in Japan on December 20, 1991. Unlike the NES version, the Mega Drive version is a straight port of the original arcade game, featuring the same stages, techniques and weapons, as well as almost every enemy character. The only significant change to the level designs was in Mission 2, which was substantially changed in order to make it a longer and more complex stage. However, the characters have been redesigned to much smaller proportions and are less colorful than the ones featured in the original arcade version or even the Genesis port of the original Double Dragon by Accolade released a year later in North America and Europe. The game has compatibility issues when played with a 6-button controller, suffering from slight input lag when the player moves their character with the directional pad.
PC Engine[edit]
A PC Engine version of Double Dragon II: The Revenge was also released exclusively in Japan, which was published by Naxat Soft on March 12, 1993. Released in Super CD-ROM² format, the PC Engine version is based on the NES version of the game instead of the arcade one. The story sequences from the NES version were remade and are now animated, with voice acting featuring Makoto Horikawa (as Billy), Nobutoshi Hayashi (as Jimmy), and Hiroko Emori (as Marian) among other actors.
There are other few slight changes to the game as well. While the gameplay is the same, the graphics have been remade completely and the soundtrack consist almost entirely of new music (with the exception of the final boss theme and the closing credits theme). Some of the levels designs have been altered and the order of Mission 4 and 5 (the Undersea Base and the Forest of Death) were switched. The PC Engine version allows the player to reach the final stage in any of the three difficulty settings, making the game closer to the Japanese Famicom version in this regard than its western NES counterpart. However, the ending changes depending on the difficulty setting, with the full ending shown only when the player completes the hardest setting.
Computer platforms[edit]
Virgin Mastertronic released ports of the arcade version for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, IBM PC, Commodore Amiga, Amstrad CPC and Atari ST in 1989. The computer ports were developed by Binary Design, the same outfit that handled the computer ports of the first game.[7]
Wander of the Dragons[edit]
|It has been suggested that some content from this article be split into a separate article titled Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons. (Discuss)
|This section requires expansion. (April 2013)
Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons is a 3D beat-'em-up loosely based on the arcade version of Double Dragon II: The Revenge, developed by Korean game studio GRAVITY and published by Barunson Creative Co. Ltd.[8] The title was in development for more than three years when early footage was released in 2011. It was released on April 5, 2013 as a digital download for the Xbox 360 via the Xbox Live Arcade service.[9] It received extremely negative reviews, with a score of 18.12% on Gamerankings and a score of 17 on Metacritic. It is currently the lowest scoring Xbox 360 game on Metacritic and the sixth lowest game on all platforms.[citation needed] GamesRadar ranked it as the 42nd worst game ever made. The staff compared it unfavorably to the previous Double Dragon Neon.[10]
A soundtrack, simply titled Double Dragon II: The Revenge, was published in Japan by Meldac and released on March 10, 1990. The soundtrack features arranged versions of the music from the NES version (originally composed by Kazunaka Yamane) composed by Kazuhiro Hara and Nobuhito Tanahashi. The soundtrack also features a vocal J-pop rendition of the Double Dragon opening theme performed by Manami Morozumi titled "Dead or Alive". Its catalog number is MECG-28001. An excerpt from the arcade soundtrack was included on the Sinclair User cover tape.[11]

Pressure on Holmes to bring Bolts' kids up to NFL speed
SAN DIEGO -- Jerry Holmes' elbows are sharp. Same goes for the Chargers' defensive backs coach's tongue.
"He's not afraid to bark at all, if you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing," rookie cornerback Sammy Davis said. "He will let you know."
Getting the Chargers' youthful secondary in-the-know is Holmes' mission, with the Chargers eyeing their preseason finale Friday. The 49ers are the opponents, but it's the Chargers hoping to strike gold with their fresh secondary.
"It's exciting because they're young," Holmes said.
"You tell them and they listen. They are like sponges and they really want to be good in the NFL."
The secondary is a young brigade looking to find their way and Holmes has their compass. But in the offseason, his charges discovered the business side of his elbows during numerous pickup basketball games.
"He's an inside player," safety Vernon Fox said. "With lots of jumping ability."
For the Chargers' pass defense to rise from its No. 32 standing, Holmes must coach like never before. The Chargers wiped the secondary clean, and will have four new opening-day starters come Sept. 7.
The curtain-raiser is in Kansas City, and it's up to Holmes to make sure the kids don't get barbecued.
"A lot is expected of him, but it's nothing he can't handle," Fox said. "He has done a great job of bringing us together and has let us know what is expected of us."
Holmes, 45, knows of which he speaks. The former cornerback spent 10 years in the NFL, and two in the USFL, where among his New Jersey Generals' teammates was a rookie quarterback named Doug Flutie.
"The first thing that impressed you is he played in the league so he knows what it is like to be out there in zero coverage and no post help," cornerback Tay Cody said. "So he has a feel for it.
"He has a great relationship with all his players. He knows how to talk to them and respect them. He's a real humble guy."
Added cornerback Quentin Jammer: "He's like one of the players. He understands what we go through because he played in the league for a long time. So he understands when we get a little tired."
What wore out Holmes was seeing his secondary picked apart last year. In half of the Chargers' 16 games, rivals threw for at least 300 yards. On two occasions, they chalked up more than 400.
"It's a challenge," said Holmes, of correcting the NFL's most dreadful pass defense. "But we pretty much knew what the problem was, and we knew how to fix it. And that's the most important thing."
They rebuilt by drafting Davis, Drayton Florence, Terrence Kiel, and Hanik Milligan, who is likely out for the year with a pectoral injury. They also signed Kwamie Lassiter. Shown the door were Rodney Harrison, Alex Molden, Ryan McNeil, Rogers Beckett and Keith Lyle.
"You will probably see this year that we will better than we were last year back on that end," Holmes promised.

Just repeated the sequence - same problem. About to reboot and try again from a clean start…
Rebooting didn't help - same problem.
For info: DS 188.8.131.52 Pro (64 bit version) - checked the change log and it doesn't appear to be a known bug that's fixed in a later release. Can't find a list of known unfixed bugs anywhere.
Edit (29 Sep '12): Still got this problem. However, since the 'path' for a parameter can be edited (by double-clicking on the parameter name as Rob explained) that allows me to get round the issue. Not a solution, but a workaround.
I've started a new thread Simple Material Mixing With DS4.5 Shader Mixer - Advice Please? thread over in the DAZ Studio Discussion forum focussed on my first Shader Mixer project.
Big thanks to Pen, Richard and Rob for the help getting starting with this.

Fiat denies merger talks with VW
MILAN (AP) � Italian automaker Fiat and its main shareholder denied on Thursday a German media report that the company is in merger talks with rival Volkswagen.
Shares in Fiat briefly rose 5 percent, before closing up 1 percent at 7.70 euros, after Manager Magazin reported that the main shareholders in Fiat SpA and Volkswagen AG have had a series of talks about Volkswagen taking over all or part of Fiat, which controls Chrysler.
The report, which did not cite sources, said VW, the world's No. 2 automaker, was interested in acquiring Chrysler to help it improve its struggling footing in the United States, and specified that Fiat's Ferrari subsidiary would be excluded from any deal. Volkswagen has often expressed interest in Fiat's sporty brand Alfa Romeo.
Fiat said in a statement no merger talks had taken place, a position that was repeated by its majority shareholder in a separate statement issued at the request of Italy's market watchdog. Volkswagen had no immediate comment.
Fiat is in the process of completing a merger with Chrysler, which it took over five years ago, to create the seventh-largest global carmaker. Fiat shareholders are set to vote on the final merger Aug. 1.
Bernstein automotive analyst Max Warburton said such a deal "has a degree of industrial logic," by giving Volkswagen the means to fulfill its ambition to become the world's largest automaker. I would give it a 15 percent market share in the United States, ahead of Toyota, and a 30 percent market share in Europe.
On the Fiat side, Warburton noted that the Fiat-Chrysler project has left Fiat with a huge debt and big investments to make, adding "Fiat still faces a complex future."

I've had this pack for a solid year, and after multiple Colorado 14er's, muddy Texas hog hunts, and a 50 mile, successful elk hunt, I think I can fairly evaluate this pack. Even though the guys at Mystery Ranch hinted that this might not be the best choice for a hunting pack because of its weight, I decided to go with it because for me, it hit a couple of real sweet spots. I've already had the 3 day assault pack for a few years and have come to like the tri-zip design and at 3000ci is even better. That coupled with the NICE frame and load hauling abilities had me sold and I don't regret it today. That 50 mile elk hunt was spread out over 5 days, and we got a bull the last day of the season. On the hook my pack weighed 131 lbs with the meat loaded and I packed that almost 8.5 miles to the truck on the last day. I find the pack very easy to use for regular hikes, and it easily transforms into a load hauler in the field. I've even had to haul my 3 year old daughter in it a few times. Other than a few blood stains and dirt from the trails, it looks like the day I received it. Mystery Ranch quality and construction is tops.
Our most advanced weapons carry backpack.
The Overload features our quick-access 3-Zip design and the ability to secure sniper and crew-served weapons or Pelican cases between the pack and frame without decreasing capacity for mission essentials or sustainment gear.
- 3-Zip design for quick access
- NICE Frame for comfort and stability under the heaviest loads
- PALS webbing accommodates MOLLE accessories
- Bolstered Ventilation and Stability (BVS) system increases stability of the pack over armor
- Overload feature allows for securing of a rifle between the frame and the bag
- Load-bearing slings for heavy equipment
- Water bottle pockets

Leading Government and Advocacy Stakeholders Engage in Public Health Dialogue on Improving Disposal of Unused Medications
Drug Take-Back Network Launched by Product Stewardship Institute and King Pharmaceuticals
"As prescription drug abusers often obtain medications easily from the home of friends or family members, it is extremely important to address the safe and proper disposal of unused medication. King is committed to working together with leading stakeholders to come to a consensus on safe and effective drug disposal that will help to reduce the risk of drug abuse and environmental pollution in our communities," said
In conjunction with this week's meeting, PSI and King launched the Drug Take-Back Network that establishes a central resource for information on drug take-back impediments and existing programs to collect and dispose of unused medications in communities around the country. By promoting shared learning, the Drug Take-Back Network will advance strategies already underway to reduce drug abuse and accidental poisonings, and to improve water quality by offering consumers a safe option for disposing of their unused drugs.
"This week's meeting was an important opportunity to discuss the challenges inhibiting drug disposal and to brainstorm how to change the current legal and regulatory landscape to safely and cost-effectively implement take-back programs on a national scale," added
In addition to its leadership role with the Pharmaceuticals Dialogue Meeting, King recently commissioned Avalere Health, an advisory company focused on healthcare business strategy and public policy, to develop a white paper focused on the disposal of unused prescription drugs including opioids. The white paper, which was distributed to meeting participants, examines the current challenges facing drug disposal and the factors necessary to implement a successful disposal program that will reduce the incidence of drug abuse and diversion. The paper and other educational resources are available at www.takebacknetwork.com, the Web site for the newly established Drug Take-Back Network.
Proper disposal of unused prescription drugs has become an important public health concern as rates of prescription drug abuse and diversion have increased. According to a recent study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA), teens have easy access to prescription medications – 19% feel prescription drugs are easier to obtain than beer, citing common sources as friends, classmates, parents or their own home's medicine cabinet.(1) There is a lack of agreement on a recommended disposal method for unused pharmaceuticals. Federal guidelines suggest either take back or home garbage disposal for most medications, and flushing for a small number of controlled substances. By contrast, state agencies do not recommend flushing of any medications, and an increasing number of agencies promote the return of used medications at pharmacies or through a mail-back program. Meeting participants focused on reaching consensus about the implementation of sustainable programs to collect unused medications and efforts to increase public awareness about the issue.
Highlights from PSI's second Pharmaceuticals Dialogue Meeting included agreement on the need for all stakeholders involved to move forward to:
- Increase public and health care provider education on the public health concerns regarding disposal of unused prescription drugs and the availability of disposal programs;
- Continue efforts with policymakers to address laws and regulations governing controlled substances that currently impede implementation of comprehensive drug take-back programs;
- Encourage EPA, FDA and ONDCP to revise the federal guidelines on drug disposal to discourage flushing of any drugs; and
- Convene a leadership summit to focus on reducing the amount of unused pharmaceuticals.
The Pharmaceuticals Dialogue Meeting was the second in PSI's series of four national, multi-stakeholder dialogues on drug disposal issues. The first meeting was held in

Ever-eclectic Lytle's Liszt passion bears fruit
Pianist, a former UCSD Provost, and his wife complete film on legendary composer
The Lytle Scholarship Concert presents "Jazz Gone Global," Featuring Cecil Lytle, with the Gilbert Castellanos Quintet and Besos de Coco
When: 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29
Where: Conrad Prebys Concert Hall, 911 Lyman Lane, UC San Diego, La Jolla
Tickets: $10 (students); $50 (general public)
Phone: (858) 534-1507
Perpetually active at 66, on stage and off, acclaimed pianist and former UC San Diego Provost Cecil Lytle is much too vibrant to even consider starting a bucket list. But he does have a bucket Liszt, so to speak, that will be unveiled this spring.
Entitled "Liszt in the World," Lytle's labor-of-love film documentary offers a comprehensive profile of Franz Liszt, one of the most important and influential classical-music composers of the 19th century and beyond. Underwritten by private donors, most from San Diego, and produced by UCSD-TV, "Liszt in the World" may be shown at some film festivals this spring. Its official premiere is in May at the University of Oregon's Franz Liszt International Conference, followed by a screening here.
The ever-eclectic Lytle, who headlines Sunday afternoon's "Jazz Gone Global" benefit concert at UC San Diego's Conrad Prebys Concert Hall, narrates the Liszt documentary. He also performs some Liszt piano pieces in the film, which has two one-hour-long segments. He and his wife, San Diego Mediation Center co-founder Betty McManus, have devoted several years to making "The World of Liszt" into a big-screen reality that entailed shooting 34 hours of HD video footage in Hungary, Germany and the United States.
"This film is the biggest thing in my life right now," said Lytle, who in 1970 won first prize at the Franz Liszt International Piano Competition in Vienna.
"Liszt had a long life, 75 years, and lived all over Europe. For the middle half of the 19th century, he was the most famous musician in Europe, from Great Britain to the Ural Mountains in western Russia. He played more than 1,500 concerts, all over, and — at the end of his life — lived at the Vatican. ... Because of his prowess as a pianist, he influenced everyone from Chopin to Debussy, who came to study with him. Liszt was also very generous with his personal fortune and helped publish the early études of Chopin. As a conductor, he premiered the first five early operas of Wagner.
"He was an incredibly eclectic thinker and musician."
The same can be said of Lytle, who joined the music faculty at UC San Diego in 1974 and subsequently became the department chair. He served as the provost of UC San Diego's Thurgood Marshall College from 1988 to 2005.
In the 1990s, he was instrumental in launching The Preuss School, a charter college-prep school for "motivated low-income" students at UC San Diego that now has an 800-plus enrollment, grades 6 through 12. Lytle retired in 2008 to focus on making his Liszt film and to devote more time to the piano, the instrument that fueled his lifelong passion for music as a child.

Study paints picture of collegiate mental health
– The 7 percent considered to have strong fears were most likely to be male and said they had previously harmed another person. They also tended to have experienced a cluster of other symptoms, such as a fear of having a panic attack or suicidal thoughts.
The results "don't translate into a guaranteed assessment or reliable profile at any point, but they offer a starting point in assessing risk in counseling center clients," Locke said.
The center has received $45,000 in funding over the past five years, Locke said. The Jed Foundation, a nonprofit that describes itself as trying to reduce suicides and emotional distress among college students, is listed as a past contributor.
The center also requires members to pay a $150 annual fee. In addition, researchers have received about $100,000 in in-kind funding from Titanium Software.
