Plenty of Time to Read up on 'Thanksgiving'
Readers will learn how to make everything from scratch that they want to. They will be taught how to plan, organize and decorate — even set a proper table regardless of what flatware shortcomings beset your kitchen drawers. Finally, there is a great little section on Thanksgiving leftovers, which includes Turkey A la King (the General Tso's chicken of turkey leftovers), gumbo and the perfect turkey sandwich.
The book is well-organized, which is important since one of the things it aims to do is help its readers organize their attack on the holiday. Besides the cooking, you will learn how to warm your plates, stock the pantry, what etiquette to take seriously, how to divvy up help from guests and what libations to make and avoid.
"Thanksgiving" is the perfect addition to your ever-shrinking bookshelf as it's slim but chocked full of utility.
Here are a couple of recipes to whet the appetite.
Cranberry sauce should be sweet but not cloying, and tart without causing pucker and anguish. It should have a jellylike quality, but should owe more to the appearance of jam. The key element to making cranberry sauce is to understand that cranberries are high in pectin, a carbohydrate that exists in many fruits and which is released by the berries when they are heated and the cells of the fruit break down. In the presence of sugar, which we add to cranberry sauce to offset its tanginess and acid, which is why the berries are tangy in the first place, the pectin molecules bond to one another, forming a kind of gel. The longer you cook a cranberry sauce, the more pectin is released and liquid is evaporated, and the stiffer the result will be.
Science! Sometimes it's helpful. So is spice. Some like a clove or two added to their cranberry sauce. (I am not one of them.) Others, a whisper of ginger and a small handful of nuts, for texture. Of this, I approve.
1 12-ounce bag fresh or thawed frozen cranberries
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed
Zest of 1 orange, or to taste
Place cranberries in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and pour over these the sugar and orange juice. Stir to combine.
Cook until sugar is entirely melted and cranberries begin to burst in the heat, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir again, add zest, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes longer, turn off heat, cover pan, and allow to cool.
Put cranberry mixture in a serving bowl, cover, and place in refrigerator until cold, at least 2 hours, or until you need it.
It is important to note that this dish does not have an anchovy flavor. Indeed, there is no reason ever to tell anyone who eats this dish that there are anchovies in it. The taste is merely salty and rich — and reflects beautifully off the sweet, creamy taste of the cauliflower beneath its slightly crunchy breadcrumb topping.
2 heads cauliflower
8 to 10 fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped
Zest of 2 lemons
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 anchovy fillets, rinsed and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 shallot, peeled and diced
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Break cauliflower into florets and toss in a bowl with sage, lemon zest, sugar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and spread out on a large baking sheet. Place in oven and cook until tender and golden, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare breadcrumbs. Heat olive oil in a sauté pan set over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add the anchovies, garlic, shallot, and breadcrumbs. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until golden.
In a large bowl, toss together cauliflower and breadcrumbs and serve on a warmed platter.

For now, SEC will stick with its 12 schools
Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe and the conference's board of directors discussed the future of the conference and Texas A&M's possible departure during a conference call Saturday.
"The board strongly conveyed to Texas A&M its unanimous desire that it remain a Big 12 member, and acknowledged its value to the conference," the Big 12 said in a statement Saturday night.
Texas State Rep. Dan Branch, the chairman of the Texas House Committee on Higher Education, called a hearing before his committee for Tuesday with Big 12, SEC and Texas A&M officials. Loftin said he has accepted Branch's invitation to participate in the meeting.
"These are extremely complex issues," Loftin said, "and it is imperative that we proceed methodically and in the best interests of Texas A&M."
The Aggies' football team went about business as usual Sunday with two indoor practices.
Coach Mike Sherman reiterated late in the afternoon that he's not in the loop on developments involving the SEC and his sole focus is on the Sept. 4 opener against SMU.
"My comment that I don't pay a whole lot of attention to it, is accurate," Sherman said.
Senior safety Trent Hunter says the Aggies have followed the coaches' mandate to block out the rumors and concentrate on football.
"Not been very hard at all," Hunter said. "Our coaches made a very good point of it. They nipped it in the bud on the first day - don't talk about it, don't tweet about it, don't Facebook about it. It's not anything that's going to affect us playing SMU in that first week."
The school said athletic director Bill Byrne was traveling back from France and also was not available.

V.I. Lenin
Lenin was born with the name Vladimir Illyich Ulyanov in 1870 in Simbirsk, Russia. He was exposed to revolutionary ideas early, and he became involved in Marxist circles while still a teenager. His older brother, a democratic revolutionary, was executed after a failed assassination attempt on Tsar Alexander III.
In the late 1890's, Lenin was exiled from Russia to Europe. He was living in Switzerland when the February Revolution ousted the Tsar. Germany allowed Lenin to travel through their country back to Russia because Lenin promised he would pull Russia out of the war.
When he arrived in Russia, he immediately criticized the Bolsheviks for compromising with the provisional government. Lenin wanted a complete revolution, removing all remnants of the Tsar from government and installing the soviets as the absolute authority.
Lenin believed that a strong country needed a strong industrial base. To build Russia into the beacon of communism, he called upon engineers and scientists to advance Russia's industry.
However, before he could complete his changes, he suffered several strokes and died in 1924.

The execution of war criminal Abdul Quader Mollah has been stayed till 10:30am tomorrow following a late evening move the defence to seek review of the death penalty.
"We have handed the stay order to the jail authorities," Abdur Razzak, Mollah's chief counsel, told journalists in front of the main gate of Dhaka Central Jail, where the death row convict has been kept at 11:15pm.
The jail authorities were to complete some formalities in compliance with the Chamber Judge's order, he added.
Half an hour earlier, Forman Ali, senior jail superintendent of the prisons, told The Daily Star that they came to know about the order through the media.
"We have yet to receive it in our hands," he said, adding that the jail authorities were waiting to get the order before taking any decision.
The jail authorities were earlier set to execute Mollah at 12:01 tonight.
Chamber Judge Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain passed the order around 10:15pm as the authorities of Dhaka Central Jail completed almost all preparation to hang him at one minute past 12.
Mollah, known as Koshai (butcher) Quader for his brutal style of torture on the freedom-seeking people during the country's 1971 Liberation War, could become the first war criminal to be hanged had the jail authorities went ahead with the plan.
Earlier, 23 family members of the death row convict, who was instrumental against the birth of Bangladesh during the 1971 War of Independence, met him for the last time.
Contacted by the jail authorities in the afternoon, they drove there in two microbuses.
"We let them in at 7:50pm for half an hour," Ali said.
It was Mollah's sentence — life-term imprisonment — on February 5 which triggered a youth upsurge in the capital, known popularly as Shahbagh Movement, that later spread across the country.
The ICT-2 awarded Mollah life imprisonment on two out of six charges and different jail terms on the other three proved charges.
For weeks, Shahbagh youths continued their movement to press home the demand of execution of war criminals, forcing the government to bring an amendment to the International Crimes Tribunal law, which is the basis for the special tribunal trying the accused of war crimes committed 42 years ago.
The state on March 3 appealed with the SC against the life-term ruling, terming it "inadequate" and seeking the death penalty for his wartime offences.
On September 17, a five-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Md Muzammel Hossain revised the verdict, sentencing Mollah to death.
After the full text of the verdict was released, ICT-2 issued death warrant for the Jamaat leader on December 8.
Tuesday afternoon, the jail authorities contacted Mollah's family and asked them to meet with him by 8:00pm.
"We are in tension. We feel that it is not a good sign," Advocate Tajul Islam, the convict's counsel, said contacted by the jail authorities.
As the news spread through televisions and online newspapers, large number of curious people gathered in front of Dhaka Central Jail, most of them to celebrate at the punishment of the infamous Jamaat leader.
Though Mollah did not seek president's clemency, his lawyers rushed to Chamber Judge Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain house at Kakrail to move a petition seeking stay on the process of Mollah's execution at 8:30pm.
Claiming that the government took preparation to execute Quader Mollah without finishing all legal procedures, Advocate Khandker Mahbub Hossain, Barrister Abdur Razzaq and Advocate Tajul Islam also went to the residence of Attorney General Mahbubey Alam at 9:00 but the chief law officer of the country was not at his home then.
The delegation later rushed to the chamber judge's house again at 9:20pm.
Confirming The Daily Star about the Chamber Judge's order, advocate Khandker Mahbubey Alam said the jail authorities cannot execute Mollah till 10:30am tomorrow.
"In the meantime, we will move a review petition on behalf of Abdul Quader Mollah before the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, and which will then pass its order," he said.
Earlier in the morning, Mollah instructed his lawyer to file a review petition with the Supreme Court challenging its verdict, Tajul said after meeting the Jamaat assistant secretary general at Dhaka Central Jail.
Tajul along with chief defence counsel Barrister Abdur Razzak and Advocate Tajul went to the jail at 10:10am and stayed there for 50 minutes.
"Mollah is mentally sound," advocate Tajul said after the meeting.

Michelin star chef Baptiste Fournier has a simplistic approach to food
The kitchen is where he is happiest. Baptiste Fournier attributes it to growing up watching his parents cooking and serving guests at their family-owned restaurant La Tour in Sancerre, France.
"My parents opened the restaurant in 1979; I was born a year later. I started cooking when I was 15 and by the time I was 17, I decided to join the restaurant," Baptiste Fournier tells us with a smile. The Michelin Star chef was in the city for a French cuisine and Four Seasons wine pairing session at ITC Kakatiya.
Plating sessions are on in the kitchen as we speak and Fournier tries his best to mask his nervousness. He mentions visiting the vegetable and spice market near Charminar hours after landing in the city. "I came to India in 2004 and backpacked through the Delhi-Agra-Benaras route; I loved it. So when Four Seasons asked me if I'd be willing to do this food promotion in India, I agreed. This is the time when business is lean in my village, because of winter. It made sense to move out of France, meet people and try something new," he says.
Though Fournier visited the spice market in the Old City, he believes in minimum use of spices. "I might infuse the meat or vegetables in lemongrass or ginger, but I don't use spice powders," he says. Fournier says the French want both meat and vegetables on their plates.
"If you serve only vegetables, they ask for the meat. But things are changing," he says. Fournier trained with some of the best French chefs — Guy Savoy and Alain Passard.
The latter introduced him to vegetarian cuisine. "I can eat vegetarian food for days," says Fournier, explaining how Passard removed red meat from his menu and cooked with vegetables and fruits from his organic farm.
The conversation moves to presentation being a key factor in French cuisine. Fournier says unlike most Michelin star chefs, he prefers simplicity.
"It's a new trend in France to decorate the plate with almost 40 different things. I keep it simple, with two or three elements. Taste is priority," he sums up.
Wine and dine
Good food and wine complement each other, believes Fournier. "In food, you should be able to taste the meat and vegetables and not drown them in spices. Similarly, it's important to be able to taste the grape from which the wine is sourced from," he says. Chef Fournier was on a five-city tour to New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Bangalore. "We had tasting sessions and worked out a menu — a salad with oven-cooked egg plant with olive oil, lemon and garlic, topped with crunchy radish, cauliflower and broccoli; a creamy risotto; a chicken boat with ginger and lemongrass; lamb; fresh vegetables served with a strong chicken sauce; pineapple ravioli with yogurt and lime and a chocolate dessert," he says.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
Thinking about taking a crack at this game, JP questions *Mild Spoilers*
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
Hey all. I tried playing this game a while back, and quite frankly I got overwhelmed by all the leveling/job stuff and didn't get too far. I loved what I did play, though, and would like to play the rest of the game. I kinda know what the general consensus is on what jobs I should give characters and so on, but I have some questions about jobs in this game. Namely, what is the best way of leveling up your jobs early in the game? In particular, I can't really figure out how one is supposed to get enough JP for the Knight class to use Rend Speed and Rend Weapon in the first chapter. There's probably some aspect of the game I'm forgetting, but I just want to know what the general thoughts are on this. Also, for example, I was wondering about a good way to level up the Chemists. Should I spend a lot of money on potions and then have the Chemists use potions constantly, even when they don't require them, so they get extra JP? I don't know if that'd be worth all the lost money or not. Any help on this is appreciated.
Any action you take while in a job, will gain you JP *for* that job - if you're a knight using squire abilities, you gain knight jp. There's also jp spillover - which works like "Character A is a knight, he does something which gains him 28jp (before jp boost), characters b,c,d,e all gain 7jp (1/4 of the jp character a earned) to the knight job. If character b were a black mage and did something that gained him 20 jp (before jp boost), characters a,c,d,e would all earn 4 jp to the black mage job".
Any easily repeatable action is a good way to gain jp - squires accumulate skill is one of the first that comes to mind (giving +1PA to a maximum of 99 pa, per use), the only problem with it is it will always cause a character to gain 10 exp, which can lead to issues with overleveling. Having mages whack people (even their own party members) with rods or staffs (DO NOT USE RODS THAT CAST SPELLS, THIS CAN KILL CHARACTERS EASILY) is a good source of jp.
Don't stick around in chemist job for too long, the skills in it are 'okay' but the stats you gain for leveling up in the job are a severe hinderance. Also don't stick around in knight job early on for too long, the knight is slow, has mediocre equipment and a very very expensive skillset for its use early on - its better to grab move+1, jp boost, accumulate and throw stone from squire, stay in knight just long enough to get the monk class (and probably pick up rend speed while in knight) and then stick in the monk job for a while (as it's a very powerful and versatile class).
Farewell Monster Hunter. The black wind howls again...
As you are, I once was, As I am, You will be.
Hm...good to know, thanks. Is there a danger to over-leveling beyond potentially making the game too easy?
And yeah, I hate the idea of keeping a Chemist for long, but I had heard I needed to make sure I got the potion abilities from that class at least. Also, should I also try to get Rend Weapon while I'm getting Monk unlocked? I had heard it was useful along with Rend Speed.
Most story battles with stay at a set level, random battles however will scale with the highest level character in your roster, this can leave you badly undergeared.
Breaking equipment is bad because if you want to remove equipment you can always just use steal instead and monsters don't use equipment (so it will rarely be utilized), rending speed, power and magic are much better due to how the battle system works. If a character has 5 speed he'll get a turn every 20 clockticks (the internal unit of time this games battle system uses), if a character has 1 speed (from getting hit by rend speed twice) he will get a turn every 100 clockticks (or more if you wait after attacking), which means that the character with 5 speed will get 5+ turns to the character with one speed. Rend power drastically reduces the damage enemies deal, and rend magic can utterly destroy a mages ability to harm you.
Farewell Monster Hunter. The black wind howls again...
As you are, I once was, As I am, You will be.
Thanks again. Also, how many generic characters should I focus on leveling up?
The most characters you can have in a battle is 5, so after I start, I typically scrap any generic without 70 brave(high brave determines how often reaction abilities work, low brave is used for finding items) or 60+ faith (higher faith makes better casters - both stats can be raised, but bravery below 5 and faith above 94 risks the character leaving you).
After getting rid of all the generics I re-hire 2 males and 2 females with stats and zodiac I like. You will get a large variety of special characters throughout the game so you may not end up using your generics the whole game.
Farewell Monster Hunter. The black wind howls again...
As you are, I once was, As I am, You will be.
Alright thanks, that was what I was wondering if I should do. Sorry for all the questions, but what Zodiacs are particularly good?
No zodiac in particular is 'good'. They all have their advantages and disadvantages.
Good compatibility between user and target increases accuracy of abilities, damage and healing by 25% (so a sword whack that would do 10 damage now does 12.5 truncated to 12).
Bad compatibility between user and target decreases accuracy of abilities, damage and healing by 25% (so a sword whack that would do 10 damage now does 7.5 truncated to 7)
Best compatibility increases accuracy, damage and healing by 50% (10->15)
Worst compatibility decreases accuracy, damage and healing by 50% (10->5).
Now while bad and worst obviously seem and sound bad, they can be useful in certain situations because certain story enemies have fixed zodiac signs, and it can be the difference between a boss taking one attack to kill you with good or best, to a boss taking 3-6 swings to kill you with bad or worst.
In general - it probably won't really come up in gameplay so it's not something to worry over, the only time I've actually seen it be an issue is when a person was doing a very specific and hard challenge and needed a boss not to instantly kill him. I've always plugged in my own birthday (july 8th / cancer 3) and done fine.

Thanks again. Also, how many generic characters should I focus on leveling up?
One thing to keep in mind I would say -- having learned this the hard way -- is not to let the special characters who join you go to waste. I had invested so much in my generic characters that when Agrias joined, I didn't bother with her. That made the game much harder for me until later on when I was able to get Balthier, Beowulf, and of course, Cid. So, I would recommend setting aside at least one of your generics for Agrias as soon as she joins, and hold on to the chicks who join with her, as they're useful for at least one side mission later in the game.
Thanks guys. I'll keep that in mind. But I don't need to really focus on leveling up Agrias' subordinates, just need to hold onto them?
Also, I understand that the generics may not end up being used much as I get the special characters so I guess it doesn't matter for them? But is there a particular job I should be shooting for for Ramza?

Dell's 9.99mm thin Adamo XPS wasn't supposed to ship to even the earliest orderers until December 22nd, but it seems as if a minor Christmas miracle has happened over at Adam's office. In fact, those ordering one of these slimsters today won't see it until mid-January, but if you got in early, there just might be hope for you yet. Oh, and if you're pretty certain that your order will simply be delayed indefinitely as Old Man Winter holds you down, feel free to cheer yourself up by perusing the gallery below. Or slip into an infinite loop of depression -- your call.

Yankees lose to Rays as AL East race tightens
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. The New York Yankees are staying positive even as their AL East lead has almost completely disappeared and another star player was hurt.
James Shields pitched eight strong innings to outlast CC Sabathia and light-hitting Chris Gimenez drove in two runs Monday, helping the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Yankees 4-3 and further tighten the AL East race.
New York second baseman Robinson Cano hurt his left hip in the eighth inning, and isn't sure if he will play in Tuesday's second game of the three-game series. Cano said hopefully the injury is nothing bad.
"I think he's OK," New York manager Joe Girardi said.
The Yankees, who led by 10 games earlier this summer, had their edge cut to one game by Baltimore, which beat Toronto 4-0. The Rays moved within 2 1/2 games of New York.
"Who's panicking? I'm not," Yankees captain Derek Jeter said. "You're going to have highs and lows, but you're still going to have confidence."
Shields (13-8) and the Rays ruined the return of Alex Rodriguez. The slugger went 1 for 4 with a strikeout in his first game after being sidelined six weeks with a broken left hand.
"Overall, I felt good," Rodriguez said. "I like the intensity that the team played with. Nobody's panicking."
Gimenez snapped a 3-all tie in the eighth with a two-out grounder that just made it to the outfield for a single off David Robertson (1-5). It looked as though Cano would be able to field the ball, but he felt a grabbing sensation in the hip.
"I was trying to reach for the ball," said Cano, who iced the hip postgame. "It's a little tight."
Gimenez, recalled from the minors Saturday and batting just .203, also had a RBI single off Sabathia in the second.
Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for Tampa Bay, striking out Rodriguez and earning his 41st save by fanning pinch hitter Curtis Granderson with the tying run on third base. Granderson had been out since leaving Saturday's game with tendinitis in his right hamstring.
Granderson could be back in the lineup Tuesday.
Sabathia allowed three runs and eight hits, struck out four and walked two in seven innings.
Robertson gave up a leadoff single to Jeff Keppinger in the eighth, and it didn't look like it would wind up hurting the Yankees when Russell Martin threw out pinch runner Rich Thompson on a close play at second. Rays manager Joe Maddon trotted out to protest the call and was ejected after an animated discussion with second base umpire Bob Davidson.
But Tampa Bay wasn't finished. Ryan Roberts singled and stole second before Gimenez delivered his go-ahead hit on a grounder that just got past Cano.
"It's a tough loss for us," Robertson said. "Every loss right now hurts."
Rodriguez had been out since breaking his left hand on July 24, when he was hit by a pitch by Seattle's Felix Hernandez. Girardi plugged him into his customary cleanup spot as the designated hitter to bolster an offense missing the injured Mark Teixeira and Granderson, who have combined to hit 57 homers.

Where Obama stands on the issues
Social Security: Has not proposed a comprehensive plan to address Social Security's long-term financial problems. During budget negotiations in 2011, proposed adopting a new measurement of inflation that would reduce annual increases in Social Security benefits. The proposal would reduce the long-term financing shortfall by about 25 percent, according to the Social Security actuaries.
Taxes: Wants to raise taxes on the wealthy and ensure they pay 30 percent of their income at minimum. Supports extending Bush-era tax cuts for everyone making under $200,000, or $250,000 for couples. But in 2010, agreed to a two-year extension of the lower rates for all. Wants to let the top tax rates go back up 3 to 4 percentage points to 39.6 percent and 36 percent, and raise rates on capital gains and dividends for the wealthy. Health care law provides for tax on highest-value health insurance plans. Together with Congress, built a first-term record of significant tax cuts for families and business, some temporary.
Terrorism: Approved the raid that found and killed Osama bin Laden, set policy that U.S. would no longer use harsh interrogation techniques, a practice that had essentially ended late in George W. Bush's presidency. Largely carried forward Bush's key anti-terrorism policies, including detention of suspects at Guantanamo Bay despite promise to close the prison. Also has continued with military commissions instead of civilian courts for detainees and invocation of state secrets privilege in court. Expanded use of unmanned drone strikes against terrorist targets in Pakistan and Yemen. The deadly attack by militants on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in September raised questions that persist about the quality of U.S. intelligence and about why requests for added security there were denied before the assault.
War: Ended the Iraq war he had opposed and inherited, increased the U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan then began drawing down the force with a plan to have all out by the end of 2014. Approved use of U.S. air power in NATO-led campaign that helped Libyan opposition topple Moammar Gadhafi's government. With decade of wars ending, major reductions coming in the size of the Army and Marine Corps as part of agreement with congressional Republicans to cut military spending over next decade.

Smith: Uninformed about NCAA hoops? Tips for a bracket
It's almost tournament time and, for most us, that also means it's time to fill out a tournament bracket.
That's going to be a problem. For the first time in recent memory, I can't tell the players with a score card — and at this point, a score card really isn't going to help all that much.
Much more in tune with the struggles of the Miami Heat and the slow, tedious grind of the NFL labor talks, I suddenly can't distinguish a Blue Devil from a Tar Heel and barely remember what a Hoya or a Shocker is.
When other people used to pick games based on team nicknames or the flip of a coin, I used to snicker. But now, time and circumstance have transformed me from the snickerer to the snickered at.
What's the uninformed person to do?
Fear not, though. There are two surefire approaches to this situation for someone whose mind isn't "clouded" by sorely needed, team-specific information:
Approach No. 1 — Pick the higher seeds.
This tournament is supposed to be wide-open (from what I hear), but that doesn't mean totally wide open. A No. 16-seed has still never beaten a No. 1, so that's four surefire wins right there.
In fact, staying with the No. 1 seeds through much of your bracket isn't just conservative, it can also be pretty smart. Keep in mind, however, that all four No. 1 seeds have only made it to the Final Four once (2008).
So get a little creative in the regional tournament and the bragging rights could be yours.
Approach No. 2 — Stay with YOUR team.
If you've got a favorite team, ride them all the way to Houston.
Hey, if nothing else, it shows the true depth of your fandom and you could be right.
Back in 2008, that approach took me within four consecutive bricked free throws in the final minute of winning two different pools and some extra spending money to go along with it (not that I'm promoting gambling, by the way).
No matter what approach you decide to take, your luck's bound to be better than mine.
All of this, of course, leads me to try Approach No. 3 next year — watch college basketball.

BOYD COUNTY, Ky. — The Boyd County Sheriff's Department reports that a two-hour stand-off occurred Saturday, June 14, on Fish Hatchery Road in Boyd County.
According to reports, deputies with the Boyd County Sheriff's Department responded to a complaint regarding shots being fired at Fish Hatchery Road. Upon arrival, deputies discovered a 42-year-old male, armed with a pistol, and threatening to commit suicide. Authorities at the sheriff's department said they are not releasing the name of the male subject at this time.
Deputies were involved in a stand-off with the subject which lasted approximately two hours. Reports reveal that the subject was disarmed and tased, and was subdued by deputies. There were no injuries as a result of the incident. The male subject was transported to Kings Daughters Medical Center regarding his mental state of being a threat to himself and others.

Old bugs returning. Wake up devs...
Same problem here. Power settings not saving properly.
other "old" bugs have also returned apparantly, mouse over HUD info not working - Again
Autofire "maintain" not working properly either.
Keybinding "set target focus" or "pinning" as they call it now, not working.
Borg heavy plasma torps in STF's are STILL INVISIBLE dang it! And it's not only the gateways missiles, it's the ones from cubes as well.
Space STF's suffering from glitches causing a lot of strange graphical "blinking" of entire objects and creating plenty lag as well. lag that does not go away until game client is restarted.
Memory leak? - I don't know, but irritating for sure. People getting disconnected a lot.
Tau Dewa Tholian Alert - again putting us in empty areas, instantly warping us out again and wasting everyones time.
"server not responding" has been worse then ever past weeks. I live in Europe and trying the EU proxy makes it even worse.
I dare not even think of what a third playable faction is going to bring as far as new surprising bugs go.

FACTS & STATS: Site: Galen Center (10,258) -- Los Angeles, California. Television: FS1. Home Record: OSU 11-3, USC 8-6. Away Record: OSU 2-8, USC 1-9. Neutral Record: OSU 1-1, USC 1-2. Conference Record: OSU 6-8, USC 1-13. Series Record: USC leads, 67-61.
GAME NOTES: The USC Trojans will try to get back in the win column yet again when they host the Oregon State Beavers in a Pac-12 Conference tilt at the Galen Center.
Andy Enfield's first season as head coach for USC has not gone well. The Trojans are just 10-17 overall, with a single win in 14 tries in conference play. They are currently sliding along on an eight-game losing streak, following a 77-64 setback against California on Sunday. They play their home finale on Saturday against Oregon.
Oregon State has been better than USC, but has still had its share of difficulties this season. The Beavers have dropped four of their last five bouts, including an 86-62 decision to Washington last Saturday, to fall to 14-12 overall and 6-8 in conference. They have their final road game of the season next at UCLA.
Pe'Shon Howard missed a potential game-tying free-throw in the final seconds of overtime as USC lost a heartbreaker, 76-75, to the Beavers when these teams hooked up on Jan. 30. Oregon State has won five of the last seven meetings, but the Trojans still lead the all-time series, 67-61.
Roberto Nelson dropped in 17 points for Oregon State, but it was not nearly enough to keep Oregon State competitive against Washington. Six different players scored in double figures for the Huskies, who drained 57.4 percent of their total shots. Meanwhile, Angus Brandt and Devon Collier each scored 10 points as the only other double-digit scorers for the losing side.
If there is one thing Oregon State has been able to count on this season it is that Nelson will find a way to reach double figures. The 6-foot-4 guard (20.7 ppg, 3.6 apg) is the leading scorer in the conference, and has tallied at least 10 points in all but one game this season. Collier (13.6 ppg, 5.7 rpg) and Brandt (12.6 ppg) have been solid contributors as well for the Beavers, with each sinking better than 50 percent of their shots from the floor. As a collective unit, OSU is netting a solid 75.7 ppg thanks to the third-best field goal percentage in the Pac-12 (.482).
USC stumbled in the second half of its recent clash with California, as the Trojans let a 30-27 halftime lead slip away when they allowed the Golden Bears to shoot 60 percent from the floor over the final 20 minutes. Howard scored 17 points and J.T. Terrell and Nikola Jovanovic each netted 14 for the Trojans in defeat.
Absent from that game, and the one prior, was leading scorer Byron Wesley (17.6 ppg, 6.9 rpg), who will make his return on Thursday following a two-game suspension. Although Wesley is one of the 10-best scorers in the Pac-12, even with him the Trojans have been far from a strong offensive team. They are next-to-last in the conference in both scoring (71.1 ppg) and field goal percentage (.443), while registering only 13.1 apg. Howard (10.7 ppg, 4.2 apg) is the next-best scorer after Wesley. He transformed into the primary scoring threat in Wesley's absence, following a 13-point performance against Stanford with his effort against Cal.
Having Wesley back in the fold will help the Trojans, but not enough for them to get past the Beavers, who simply have more depth.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Oregon State 74, USC 68

Peer interaction that promotes the free exchange of ideas. People from one segment of an industry together with folks from other segments. An environment where birds of a feather can flock together. The idea should be inclusion, not exclusion.
Industry organizations allow for peer interaction that promotes the free exchange of ideas. They get people from one segment of an industry together with folks from other segments to display new products or services. And they provide an environment where birds of a feather can flock together and experience a sense of community.
It's no different within the digital marketing arena. Early on, operators within the industry started to form groups that would promote the specific agenda of the given organization as well as the interests of the industry as a whole.
The one making the most hay has been the Interactive Advertising Bureau, (IAB), which a few months back, under dark of night and in anticipation of the debut of the Online Publishers Association (OPA), went back to its roots as a publishers-only organization.
But why? With a plethora of organizations representing publishers -- and almost none representing agencies and advertisers -- why would the IAB do this? It claims that the move was to refocus the group on its roots and get more things done by representing solely the interests of publishers.
It isn't hard imagining publishers and networks getting themselves organized (I've been fantasizing about it for years), but at this stage of the game, while everyone is still trying to make a market, it seems counterproductive to insulate the establishment of standards and guidelines within a self-interested silo. Some claim that such organizations can be for agencies doing interactive media what others are for the traditional shops. But we're talking about an organization that will still have debates about whether people watch cable.
It's also been suggested that the IAB never got very far with any initiatives when its board had agency and technology representation.
I would contend that the reason the IAB never got very far with any of its initiatives when agencies and technology vendors were on the roster is because it was never really interested in getting very far with initiatives. Originally, publishers dominated the organization, and publishers were, for a while, pulling in money hand over fist -- so there was no impetus for moving standardizing initiatives forward. Before March of this year, the IAB hadn't issued standards since 1996. The only reason that the IAB rushed out those standards in March was because of the buzz surrounding CNET's new unit. Many sites, for years, had been running the units for which the IAB issued "new" guidelines.
When publishers started realizing what appeared to be riches beyond their dreams, what reason did the organization have to make any more statements about standards -- most notably things that spoke to the fundaments of advertising: What constitutes the base element of an advertising unit and how that is defined, or what kinds of technical standards should be set for third-party ad servers?
Though I can appreciate the desires and efforts of the IAB, I think that as an industry we are hardly in a position to selectively dole out "members only" status to issues that involve us all, particularly when the principles at issue are those that are often outside of the expertise and purview of the organization claiming ownership.
Since agencies are still expected to control 70-80 percent of all ad spending that will take place, have any of these publishers-only organizations considered what it means to leave agencies out of the process?
Publishers can decide that 250 x 250s that show dancing bears programmed in Flash 4.0 are the only creative sizes they will take -- but if agencies and advertisers aren't interested in doing this sort of thing, then what's the point? Shouldn't there be more substantive and integrated involvement at these initial stages of the industry since we are just emerging from our research and development phase?
Let's make a market first and worry about segmenting into balkanized fiefdoms later...
We are still struggling with defining media currency, addressing technology, and reaching out to those who hold the purse strings and convincing them they should let those strings loose for this medium. What good is a guideline governing a banner's size if no one is convinced she should be buying banners at all? I've said it several times thus far, and I'll say it again: Quibbling over a market is an empty exercise when the market has yet to be made.
At the very least, the IAB should have an agency representative, a technology representative, and a research representative among the board members. With too many people with the same agenda talking to each other, you end up with an "art for art's sake" movement in which the members understand only each other and their vision grows myopic. This medium cannot enjoy equal footing with other media if only those who have the most to gain from others spending in it are the only ones represented in the group issuing objective evidence of the medium's effectiveness.
It has been said that one can just look around at other industries to see the same phenomenon. But to say that one should look around at other industries, inclusive and exclusive of advertising, to see examples of other organizations that practice the same kind of limitative membership practices isn't an argument for such an organization. That's like saying, "See, that country club excludes ethnic minorities; we can, too." A wrong-headed policy in wide practice does not make it any less wrong-headed.
Also, industries that are decades old are not appropriate for comparison with the industry we are talking about -- digital marketing. The Magazine Publishers of America (MPA), itself a bit old-fashioned, was founded in 1919, many years after magazines had been published and a market had been established. I am against any of this sort of organization. It does little to promote the actual business and really just serves as a forum for backslapping and conducting self-referential seminars.
I will say it one more time: Before we divide up the market -- like the Pope divided the world between Portugal and Spain some five centuries ago, without thinking about what the world might actually be like -- let's first create the market.

Remember Mary Poppins, the children's book series and Disney musical in which an English nanny uses her magical powers to stack paper and ball on the haters? Come to think of it, neither do I. Though G Scott's latest single has nothing to do with the title character save for a chopped-and-screwed "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" hook, that shouldn't stop heads from enjoying the record, a caked-up hustle anthem backed by Drum Gang's syrupy-slow street boardwork. Winky Productions complement the cut's mood with some stylized official visuals. For Mary Poppins, the previously-featured Rich Broke and much more, check out 1983 when it drops digitally at The DJBooth this Wednesday, January 30.

Steph Sexton - Killing Lindsay Lohan
Artist: Steph Sexton
Producer: Miguel "Rico Law" Jiminez
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 17 votes )
I'll keep it real; when I saw that Australian recording artist Steph Sexton had titled her debut single and first Booth feature Killing Lindsay Lohan, I expected a creepy murder fantasy more likely to earn the artist a restraining order than positive online buzz. To my surprise, the joint is considerably more nuanced—and much less creepy—than its name suggests. Over an eerie Miguel "Rico Law" Jiminez beat, the singer/songwriter steps into the role of a Lohan-esque party girl with a penchant for self-destructive behavior. Addressed to a man she fears will leave her before morning comes, the singer's plaintive verses emphasize her character's loneliness and vulnerability. Interest piqued? Then keep it locked; while Sexton has yet to announce details on a larger project, we'll keep you posted on her plans as further details emerge.

Model #1045
Best Used For:ArmadillosCatsGroundhogsOpossumsRaccoons
Designed for You by Trapping Professionals
The Havahart® Large 2-Door Live Animal Trap is designed by trapping experts to be the most effective, reliable, and durable trap of its kind. It is carefully constructed with a fine-tuned tripping mechanism that specially targets large animals and eliminates false triggers. Its spring-loaded doors deliver effective captures and prevent escapes.
Simple to Operate
You don't have to be a pro to use this Havahart® two-door trap. Its design allows trappers of all experience levels to capture, transport, and release animals like woodchucks and raccoons with ease. Check out our How To Set video to see how simple the trap is to operate.
Watch more videos: How To Trap » | How To Bait »
Safe for You and the Animal
For You: A handle guard and solid metal doors protect you from contact with the animal, and the carrying handle allows you to hold the trap away from your body while an animal is inside.
For the Animal: Strong door locks keep animals safely in the cage, and smooth, rolled edges prevent anxious critters from injuring themselves during transport.
A Two-Door Trap is Effective and Versatile
Two spring-loaded doors allow animals to enter from either direction, increasing your odds of a catch. Additionally, a two-door trap can be less intimidating to the animal as it provides a clear path and unobstructed line of sight from one end of the trap to the other. Place two-door traps against walls or along animal travel paths in order to capture critters as they move from either direction. Two-door animal traps can also be set with only one door open, giving you the ability to try different methods of capture.
Havahart® Means Built to Last
Havahart® builds the strongest, most durable traps with premium materials, intended to endure harsh weather and unpredictable animal behavior. Made in the USA, this trap is constructed of industrial-strength, one-piece wire mesh, which is galvanized for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion. Solid doors and steel reinforcements add to the durability of the trap, ensuring an even longer trap life.

- Some old clothes from TopShop. It's quite funny to see that couple years ago, I was into all these body hugging pieces. But right now, I prefer clothes that are slightly looser, just because I feel more modern this way.
- These top and skirt are great for summer as the colors do match very well. Don't you think?
