Jim Thomas, Vice President and Director of Studies, Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assesments
The resignation of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is bringing the administration's military and foreign policies into a new light. The next secretary will have to deal with the lingering issues of pay and benefits reform, sequestration, and the new technology offset strategy. Jim Thomas, vice president and director of studies at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, analyzed what Hagel's resignation means for the agency's present and future on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

Hagel successor expected to fight more threats, increase DoD spending
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's decision to resign Monday has produced plenty of speculation about his successor. Military experts retired Maj. Gen. Arnold Punaro and Jim Thomas of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments said the new DoD secretary will likely lobby Congress for more money to deal with new threats.

The Windows of New York and São Paulo
A little over a year ago, New York City-based graphic designer José Guizar started illustrating an obsession of his that had quickly grown since moving into the city: New York's varied and eclectic windows. "A product of countless steps of journey through the city streets, this is a collection of windows that somehow have caught my restless eye out from the never-ending buzz of the city," Guizar writes on his website. "This project is part an ode to architecture and part a self-challenge to never stop looking up."
Others have since been inspired by Guizar's colorful and captivating homage to the windows of NYC, and earlier this year São Paulo-based Nara Rosetto began her own weekly illustrations of windows in South America's largest city.
Ranging from Victorian and porthole windows to windows with security bars, planting boxes and the occasional cat, the windows are as varied as the cities and buildings they occupy.
Read on after the break for a journey through the windows of New York and São Paulo.
The Modern Metropolis, Illustrated / Chris Dent
The hand-drawn work of Chris Dent takes on the modern metropolis – depicting architecture in a way that is at once meticulously accurate & playfully imaginative.
Dent's clients include everyone from PUMA to XBOX, and his illustrations have appeared in publications such as Metropolis Magazine, Fast Company, and Wallpaper*. Check out the Video below to see Chris in action, creating a detailled, time-consuming drawing of London. You can see more of his work, and browse his online shop, at his web site.
World Population Concentrated
What would the world's landscape look like if it were concentrated into one megalopolis? This graphic analysis illustrates the amount of land required to accommodate all 6.9 billion people based on the densities of cities across the globe. The differences illuminate the adverse affects of suburban sprawl.

New research confirms what they say about nice guys.
Smile at the customer. Bake cookies for your colleagues. Sing your subordinates' praises. Share credit. Listen. Empathize. Don't drive the last dollar out of a deal. Leave the last doughnut for someone else.
Sneer at the customer. Keep your colleagues on edge. Claim credit. Speak first. Put your feet on the table. Withhold approval. Instill fear. Interrupt. Ask for more. And by all means, take that last doughnut. You deserve it.
Follow one of those paths, the success literature tells us, and you'll go far. Follow the other, and you'll die powerless and broke. The only question is, which is which?
Of all the issues that preoccupy the modern mind—Nature or nurture? Is there life in outer space? Why can't America field a decent soccer team?—it's hard to think of one that has attracted so much water-cooler philosophizing yet so little scientific inquiry. Does it pay to be nice? Or is there an advantage to being a jerk?
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
19 Kids and Counting built its reputation on preaching family values, but the mass-media platforms that made the family famous might also be their undoing.
On Thursday, news broke that Josh Duggar, the oldest son of the Duggar family's 19 children, had, as a teenager, allegedly molested five underage girls. Four of them, allegedly, were his sisters.
The information came to light because, in 2006—two years before 17 Kids and Counting first aired on TLC, and thus two years before the Duggars became reality-TV celebrities—the family recorded an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Before the taping, an anonymous source sent an email to Harpo warning the production company Josh's alleged molestation. Harpo forwarded the email to authorities, triggering a police investigation (the Oprah appearance never aired). The news was reported this week by In Touch Weekly—after the magazine filed a Freedom of Information Act request to see the police report on the case—and then confirmed by the Duggars in a statement posted on Facebook.
Why agriculture may someday take place in towers, not fields
A couple of Octobers ago, I found myself standing on a 5,000-acre cotton crop in the outskirts of Lubbock, Texas, shoulder-to-shoulder with a third-generation cotton farmer. He swept his arm across the flat, brown horizon of his field, which was at that moment being plowed by an industrial-sized picker—a toothy machine as tall as a house and operated by one man. The picker's yields were being dropped into a giant pod to be delivered late that night to the local gin. And far beneath our feet, the Ogallala aquifer dwindled away at its frighteningly swift pace. When asked about this, the farmer spoke of reverse osmosis—the process of desalinating water—which he seemed to put his faith in, and which kept him unafraid of famine and permanent drought.
Advocates say that a guaranteed basic income can lead to more creative, fulfilling work. The question is how to fund it.
Scott Santens has been thinking a lot about fish lately. Specifically, he's been reflecting on the aphorism, "If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he eats for life." What Santens wants to know is this: "If you build a robot to fish, do all men starve, or do all men eat?"
Santens is 37 years old, and he's a leader in the basic income movement—a worldwide network of thousands of advocates (26,000 on Reddit alone) who believe that governments should provide every citizen with a monthly stipend big enough to cover life's basic necessities. The idea of a basic income has been around for decades, and it once drew support from leaders as different as Martin Luther King Jr. and Richard Nixon. But rather than waiting for governments to act, Santens has started crowdfunding his own basic income of $1,000 per month. He's nearly halfway to his his goal.
In an interview, the U.S. president ties his legacy to a pact with Tehran, argues ISIS is not winning, warns Saudi Arabia not to pursue a nuclear-weapons program, and anguishes about Israel.
On Tuesday afternoon, as President Obama was bringing an occasionally contentious but often illuminating hour-long conversation about the Middle East to an end, I brought up a persistent worry. "A majority of American Jews want to support the Iran deal," I said, "but a lot of people are anxiety-ridden about this, as am I." Like many Jews—and also, by the way, many non-Jews—I believe that it is prudent to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of anti-Semitic regimes. Obama, who earlier in the discussion had explicitly labeled the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, an anti-Semite, responded with an argument I had not heard him make before.
"Look, 20 years from now, I'm still going to be around, God willing. If Iran has a nuclear weapon, it's my name on this," he said, referring to the apparently almost-finished nuclear agreement between Iran and a group of world powers led by the United States. "I think it's fair to say that in addition to our profound national-security interests, I have a personal interest in locking this down."
Sean Wilentz discusses his latest book, "Bob Dylan in America," which describes the singer's influence on our nation's culture
Nearly half a century after he released his first album, Bob Dylan continues to release new albums (including, last year, a compilation of Christmas songs) and tour the country playing concerts. Sean Wilentz, an American history professor at Princeton University and "historian-in-residence" at BobDylan.com, traces Dylan's influence on American culture in his new book, Bob Dylan in America. Here, he discusses how Dylan shaped his generation—and whether there's a similar artist in today's music scene.
The book is called Bob Dylan in America. What's Dylan's place in our nation's cultural history history?
He's the most important songwriter of the last 50 years, in a culture in which songwriting has always been a major force, a major component.
Deep into the mercenary world of take-no-prisoners political talk radio
Some fans are complaining that Zack Snyder's envisioning of the Man of Steel is too grim—but it's less a departure than a return to the superhero's roots.
Since the official teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice debuted online in April, fans and critics alike have been discussing the kind of Superman Zack Snyder is going to depict in his Man of Steel sequel. The controversy stems from Snyder's decision to cast Superman as a brooding, Dark Knight-like character, who cares more about beating up bad guys than saving people. The casting split has proved divisive among Superman fans: Some love the new incarnation, citing him as an edgier, more realistic version of the character.
But Snyder's is a different Superman than the one fans grew up with, and many have no problem expressing their outrage over it. Even Mark Waid, the author of Superman: Birthright (one of the comics the original film is based on), voiced his concern about Man of Steel's turn toward bleakness when it came out in 2013:
A majority of Senators wanted to stop a spy program that they never approved. They failed despite having more votes. And it only gets more bizarre from there.
In the wee hours of Saturday morning, the U.S. Senate played host to a moment that took mass surveillance on the phone records of Americans from outrage to farce.
The NSA's phone dragnet had already been declared illegal.
Earlier this month, a federal appeals court ruled that while the surveillance agency has long claimed to be acting in accordance with Section 215 of the Patriot Act, the text of that law in fact authorizes no such program. The Obama Administration has been executing a policy that the legislature never passed into being.
But the law that doesn't even authorize the program is set to expire at the end of the month. And so the court reasoned that Congress could let it expire or vote to change it. For this reason, the court declined to issue an order shutting the program down.

Yankees will announce new contract with general manager Brian Cashman after World Series
Oct 28, 2011, 4:33 PM EDT
Brian Cashman and the Yankees have made it very clear that finalizing his new contract was merely a formality, with the general manager saying something would get done by Halloween.
Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that the two sides have agreed to a deal and will make things official after the World Series, following Bud Selig's wishes that big news not be broken on game days.
Well, sort of.
No word yet on the terms of the deal, but presumably Cashman will get a raise on his current $2 million salary after seeing Theo Epstein get a five-year, $20 million contract from the Cubs. And then he'll get to work on keeping CC Sabathia in New York.
Cashman, incidentally, was involved in a minor car accident last night. Maybe now he'll upgrade on the 2010 Jeep.
- WhenMattStairsIsKing - Oct 28, 2011 at 5:03 PM
"So, you're saying, to sign my new contract, I have to scale the ceiling all the way up THERE to fetch it? Man, I hate Hank."
- natstowngreg - Oct 28, 2011 at 5:07 PM
The backlog is forming, awaiting the lifting of Bud's media blackout. In addition to Cashman,
— the Cubs' compensation fto the Red Sox and Padres;
— the Orioles' and Angels' GM hires; and
— the Nationals' hiring of Davey Johnson to manage next season.
As the baseball season ends, and the long, cold off-season begins, we have the consolation of the Hot Stove League.
- WhenMattStairsIsKing - Oct 28, 2011 at 5:42 PM
To be fair, it's likely that the Theo compensation isn't decided upon yet. But yeah, expect a splurge of front office info within the next week!
- uyf1950 - Oct 28, 2011 at 5:08 PM
Good. Get the deal done then finish off the CC contract/extension and move on to solidifying the rest of the Yankees starting rotation. I cast my vote for a starting rotation in 2012 of: CC, Darvish (if it's at a reasonable cost), Nova, Hughes and unfortuately AJ. If Darvish isn't in the cards so to speak my preference in order would be: Danks on a trade, Oswalt (2 years/$22M max), Buehrle and lastly Edwin Jackson in that order. Just my thoughts.
- yankeesgameday - Oct 28, 2011 at 5:11 PM
From that list I only recommend buerhle.
- nixonotis - Oct 28, 2011 at 6:43 PM
I hate each and every one of those suggestions. Why overpay for mediocrity when you have plenty of young arms in the minors capable of doing the same thing?

SAN ANTONIO -- A highly contagious and deadly disease is sweeping through the state, prompting the Texas Dept. of State Health Services to issue a health alert. The last time Texas saw a spike in pertussis cases was in the 1950s.
As of Aug. 20, 2013, there have been 66 reported cases of pertussis in Bexar County. Last year, the total number of reported cases was 66.
Local resident Donna Poche is well informed about the risk of pertussis.
Whenever I cough, I try to cover my mouth and turn away from people, Poche said.
Following her doctor's advice, Poche recently received a vaccine to prevent the disease.
The health alert issued Tuesday states that everyone -- from adults to children -- should make sure they're inoculated. Texas is now closer to the highest number of cases ever reported than it has been in more than five decades.
Currently, we're on track to make an estimated record of over 100 cases in Bexar County this year, said Dr. Jason Bowling,
a physician with UT Medicine.
Dr. Bowling said adults may suffer mild symptoms consistent with a cold, like sneezing and coughing. But chances are, it's not the common cold and it could be pertussis.
In adults it's not deadly, but causes severe coughing. It can last two to three months, Dr. Bowling explained.
The disease can be easily transferred to infants and children, if an infected person sneezes or coughs around the child. For children, however, the disease can be fatal.
They may have spells of apnea, where they stop breathing, Bowling continued.
Dr. Bowling said some adults may not know they are infected.
So you have this window of time where you may be transmitting it to other people, Bowling said.
That's why Poche was quick to get her vaccine.
Oh yeah, its very easy to pass on, Poche agreed.
Poche has young grandchildren. She wanted to make sure they all remained safe.
Women who are pregnant are advised to get the shot in their third trimester.

Foreign Policy
The new government moved forward with the peace process with Pakistan and the negotiations on the border dispute with China. Prime Minister Singh retained the key personnel appointed by the Vajpayee government to deal with Kashmiri militants and the Naga rebels in the northeast. Early in his tenure Singh traveled to New York City for the UN General Assembly session, where he met with U.S. Pres. George W. Bush and Pakistani Pres. Pervez Musharraf. Both meetings were described as constructive, and the meeting with Musharraf was also dubbed historic.
Singh's foreign-policy initiatives in the first six months of his tenure were marked by major forays into regional economic diplomacy. His first visit abroad was to Bangkok, where he joined the leaders of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand to launch the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC). At the UN Singh joined the heads of government of Brazil, Germany, and Japan to launch a four-nation initiative for permanent-member status in the UN Security Council. At The Hague in November, Singh participated in the India–European Union Summit meeting, at which India and the EU signed a strategic partnership agreement. Later in the month Singh participated in a summit with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), at which India and ASEAN member countries signed the ASEAN-India Partnership for Peace, Progress and Shared Prosperity treaty. Singh also met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in talks that were described as important by both sides. Wen Jiabao described his upcoming 2005 visit to India as "the most important engagement on my agenda for next year."
The change of government did not bring about any major shifts in foreign policy, given the consensual nature of Indian foreign policy. Although the Singh government was eager to improve relations with the U.S., the EU, Russia, China, and Japan, its highest priority was to improve substantially India's relations with its wider Asian neighbourhood.
The Indian Ocean littoral states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh were hard-hit by the tsunami of December 26. (See Disasters: Sidebar.) More than 16,000 Indians died or were missing and presumed dead, including more than 5,000 on the remote and low-lying Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where criticism of the Indian government's slow response to the disaster was especially vocal.

The St Domingo Methodist Church Sunday School was opened in May 1870 and eight years later the football team using the St Domingo name played its first match in the south-east corner of Stanley Park.
St Domingo's FC quickly established a local reputation for themselves and players were recruited from outside of the parish, precipitating a change of name in November 1879 - to EVERTON.
The club has competed in the top division for a record 109 seasons and have won the League Championship nine times.
It was not until 1927 that Everton's first sustained period of success began. In 1925 the club signed Dixie Dean who set the record for league goals in a single season with 60 goals in 39 league games, a record that still stands to this day.
In 1932 Everton won a fourth League title and also won their second FA Cup in 1933.
The outbreak of the Second World War again saw the suspension of League football, and when official competition resumed in 1946 the Everton team had been split and paled in comparison to the pre-war team.
Everton's second successful era started when Harry Catterick was made manager in 1961. The following season the club won the League title and in 1966 the FA Cup followed with a 3–2 win over Sheffield Wednesday. Three seasons later Everton won the League championship again. During this period, Everton were the first English club to achieve five consecutive years in European competitions—seasons 1961–62 to 1966–67.
In 1982 Howard Kendall took over as manager and guided Everton to their most successful era. Domestically, Everton won the FA Cup in 1984 and two league titles in '85 and '87 along with the club's first European trophy winning the European Cup Winners Cup in1985.
Almost two decades of disappointment followed in March 2002 David Moyes was brought in from Preston North End.
Moyes immediately endeared himself to the Evertonians by declaring: "I am from a city (Glasgow) that is not unlike Liverpool. I am joining the people's football club. The majority of people you meet on the street are Everton fans.
"It is a fantastic opportunity, something you dream about. I said 'yes' right away as it is such a big club." The People's Club tag would stick, and there was even better to come as Moyes as the Scotsman brought back consistency and the prospect of regular European football.
Goodison Park is Everton's home stadium since 1892 and is recognized as one of the world's first purpose built football grounds. It is just over a mile away from Anfield, the home of of Liverpool Football Club, their biggest rivals. Goodison has undergone many renovations over the years and currently has an all-seated capacity of 40,157. Everton fans refer to the stadium as "The Grand Old Lady".

- Pap smears are a absolute breeze no need to worry all . So everyone should have one
- —Guest Samantha
Thank God for Pap Smears
- I had my pap smear and it came back abnormal. I had all the test done for cervical cancer and I found out I am a cin III. High risk. I have a total hysterectomy coming up June 1st. I have had abnormal paps for 4 to 5 yrs and had the treatments for them. This year I got a 2nd opion and I am glad I did. I learned more in 1 visit with this dr than I did in all the other visits with the other one. Ladies get your paps done,. It is so important. Ask questions and if you dont like the answer go on line and look it up and if you have to change drs. Your life may depend on it. Just look up on the ceiling at the picture. Your dr is your dr and is doing his job and is more than likely saving your life, Isnt that worth what like bit of embarassment you feel? After all the dr has seen all kinds of buttoms what makes yours so special? LOL You know what I mean. GET YOUR PAPS DONE LADIES YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT
- —Guest catnlucille17
Not a problem
- I've had plenty of pap smears over the years and have never found them painful. Uncomfortable- yes! Embarrassing- definitely! But I'm very shy of my nether regions, even with my husband. I have always had a female nurse carry them out and they are so practised at it that it begins to seem like any other procedure and for the peace of mind it brings, it's well worth it.
- —Guest Danielle
- my pap smears were extremely painful. The first time I thought it was because the area was inflamed from cancer but after surgery and treatment and feeling better the next one hurt just at much and the doctor had to stop. I don't know why they should be so painful. Don't we put tampons up there and sometimes they bump into something; isn't that the cervix? Why does it hurt so much in the exam? I agree with the person who said they can devise something better, without pain.
- —pennysuescheff
Never Skip Your Pap Smear
- I really don't like Pap smears. I don't know any woman who does! They are uncomfortable and a bit embarrassing, but I remind myself that the person doing the smear does several hundred of these every year and has likely done thousands of them in his/her career. I agree that nurse practitioners are much better at pap smears. They are more gentle and it's a better experience. But regardless of the discomfort, it is SO IMPORTANT for women to get pap smears regularly. I have worked in a cancer center for many years and have counseled women with advanced cervical cancer. I have watched women die of this disease. It is so tragic because the disease is 100% treatable if caught early. Don't ever skip a pap smear because it's inconvenient, embarrassing, or uncomfortable. It's a lot less inconvenient than being diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer!
- —Guest So Worth The Trouble
- Of course I can think of about a thousand things I'd rather be doing than have a pap smear, but it's such a relief to know that I don't have to worry about cervical cancer. Taking deep breaths and relaxing as the speculum is inserted has really helped make the experience less uncomfortable!
- —Guest Nicole
Midwives and NPs!
- I've been getting my "yearlys" since I was about 19 (I'm 33 now). What I've learned is that midwives and nurse practitioners are much more gentle and respectful than ob/gyns - even female ones. I've never had an issue getting my paps. They're awkward and a little embarrassing, sure, but since I've started asking for the NP or the midwife for my well woman exams, it's been a breeze. They tend to know a little bit more about the side effects of the different pill brands, too, an added bonus.
- —AnneRemmington
Not a Big Deal at All
- I have such a comfortable relationship with my OB/GYN. We chat about our kids and I don't even realize he's doing the Pap until it's over.
Nothing to it
- Compared with everything else you are subjected to in a routine medical exam, the pap smear experience is no more uncomfortable. I have almost always had a female nurse practitioner or doctor, and I think that is something that can help a lot of women overcome their hesitancy about the procedure. But really, when you compare it with getting poked and prodded everywhere else, and having blood drawn or even blood pressure taken, it is any more uncomfortable or painful? NO! It's just another area of your body that can have its own set of problems and it should be checked regularly. A caveat is that I know a rape victim who, unfortunately, has always had a male doctor, and pelvic exams bring back that trauma. Nowadays it is very easy to find a female NP, PA or MD for your exams, and I think anyone with qualms about exposing themselves to a male provider should request a female.
- —Guest wb
Good, and...Eh
- The pap itself, for me, is not painful per se, just a little uncomfortable. (And when I say 'uncomfortable', I don't mean it as a code word for 'painful,' I'm really referring to slight discomfort.) The only part that I don't like is when the swab itself scrapes my cervix, but it's over in a second or two and then the rest is fine. There are a few things I actually enjoy about my pap exams. First, it really feels great knowing that I'm being proactive about my health and that I don't really have to worry about major problems going undetected until it's too late, which is something that I do otherwise worry about. Also, I've looked carefully for a gyno who is not only wonderful, but who has a wonderful office staff, too. They're funny, reassuring, and just plain nice. I feel really taken care of when I go in, almost like visiting a spa. For those who hate paps, I'd recommend getting a female doc (or really nice male) with a nice office staff. It doesn't need to be traumatic.
- —Guest Lizzie
uncomfortable, but necessary
- I find Paps to be a little uncomfortable (like a pinch) but over with quickly. The funniest one I had was 6 wks postpartum. My baby was screaming and I had to hold her while I was on the table DURING the exam!
- —Guest catherine
Worth It
- I've had a number of them. While it's never comfortable, especially when done by a male doc, I get through it. I'm sure they saved me from something worse, because a few years back my numbers were elevated, so I kept a watch on it. Screening for diseases is one of the best medical offers out there, in my opinion.
- —Guest Anne
Easy and painless!
- I've heard a lot of horror stories, but Paps have always been straightforward for me: a bit of a cold poky feeling and then done. It definitely helps to have a female gyno or PA do it. They understand when to go slowly to ease discomfort and when to go quickly and get it over with!
- —Guest Rose Fox
Not a Big Deal
- My experience with Pap smears have been fine. The speculum is a little cold, and there's some slight pressure during the exam, but it's always over quickly and it's never been painful. I have a doctor whom I respect and feel comfortable with, and who is very good about explaining what she's doing, so I'm sure that helps.
- —Guest HNW
Peace of Mind
- It may be embarrassing and I may hate the experience, but every year after I've had my Pap smear, I have another year's worth of peace of mind. More than worth the price.

I was introduced to Donna Karan hosiery over 20 years ago. They are long lasting, silky and well made. The fit is perfect. I regret that only nude is offered on line in this style, however. I have made my purchases in the store (Dillard's--no other store in my city offer them). A bonus is when they are on sale. The price has not increased in all the years that I have been purchasing them!

Something I wrote a while ago, I didn't want to start another series so I'm leaving it as this. Yep.
Viridian City, Spring of 2011
Brendan Ian Birch, you asked me to write you a letter, of either story, haiku, or hymn. But your three names remind me of a trainer, of my late great friend, Red Alan Deliah. Oh god, Red.
Do you know how he died Brendan? Wait, I'll begin. Heat stroke. All day out in the sun, training his pride and joys. At such a young age too, what a waste of talent. But he was a spectral fellow indeed, always seeing the world in a different hue. Felt sorry for the guy, you know, everyone else he knew didn't really think in his philosophic ways (not even I). But really, he still was a young fellow with a lot to learn. You still have to think "what a shame". Death is a topic I know all too well to talk about, what with it immersing my life daily. As you probably know, my grandfather passed away from age just a year ago, leaving behind a cluttered desk and a unfinished auto-biography. Willingly enough, I have decided to finish his research in seclusion, and his book if it isn't too much of a burden. But this letter isn't about me is it? Or you for that matter. It's about Red.
Reds pokemon could run circles around everybody elses, around mine anyway. But unfortunatly, he didn't have many fans or followers. He really had a hard time...expressing himself. He was a mute, but by choice. He would nod to respond to questions, and speak as little as possible. And not to mention, he simply didn't have many friends. Would you call me his friend? I guess you could, but it was more of a rivalry at first. A rivalry that went very deep and really effected both of us as a whole. I had known him from the town I grew up in, Pallet. Heard of it? Why should've you, it's just a small speck on the wilderness of Kanto. But he was the only other kid my age in Pallet, so it was a forced friendship that his mother and my sister had encouraged. And I'll admit, we didn't really talk much. When we were around the age of nine, he would just come over to my house and we would just play video games, not really speaking of or anything. It wasn't until us recieving our pokemon that the rivalry really started. But that's another story, a much different story.
When Red became champion, no one congratulated him or gave him any praise. He was a nobody, and suddenly being champion caused a very surprising thing to happen: People hated him. Oh, they loved Lance. Lance basically had the popularity of a rock star, and him losing his title really pissed off a lot of people. But they always seem to forget who originally defeated Lance for the title. I'm not aggrevated about it now, but at the time when they attacked Red for becoming the new champion, I took it very personally. I felt like they were attacking me rather then him. It wasn't until then that I realized that I treated Red like a friend rather then a rival, and that was the truth. Even though Red killed my Raticate, and took the Champion title right from under my feet, he was my bestfriend. I learned to forget all that was bad, and defend him against haters.
Anyway, I miss him. Maybe if he had only lived a little longer, with his great training tecniques, he may have become the fashion. I know this is off topic, but how skinny was he? It seemed he just starved himself training his pokemon. Never takeing breaks, always meaning business. That is most likely what made the heat so vulnerable to him. And did you ever see him train? Hell. Did you ever see him fight? It was something alright, his pokemon where trained to do the closest thing to killing each and every pokemon they fought. No one knows where they went once Red died. Some believe they retreated to the wild, others say that someone stole them. I don't believe either theory.
Well, eh. You probably don't care about this stuff. I mean, it doesn't really matter much now...
We should always remember to drink lots of water,
Love, Gary Oak

Kessel snipes in the the third period give B's 5-3 win
|03.12.09 at 8:07 pm ET
15:29: Beautiful goal by Phil Kessel that he sniped into the top right corner to beat Auld. The play was started with a brilliant entry pass along the wall from Marc Savard that freed Kessel to turn on his after-burners and get behind the defense. Kessel motored down the right-hand side, lifted his off-foot and stroked a top shelf shot that Auld didn't have a chance at.
13:08: Great ping-ping passing between Shannon, Dany Heatley and Christoph Schubert ends with Schubert camped out in front of the Boston net and on open net. Schubert taps it in to make it a two-goal game.
10:55: A faceoff in the Boston D-zone turns into a blink-of-the-eye strike by Jason Spezza from the right faceoff circle that beats Thomas up high. It's Spezza's second goal of the game.
4:15: A couple of near-misses on connections from Krejci to Lucic in front of the net.
00:55.6: Empty-netter for Phil Kessel, and this game is O-V-A-H.
The Bruins beat the Senators by a 4-3 score.

Games that feel like a chore
Game of Thrones literally like a 20 minute open scene which was pretty boring, then the combat is every worst. Combat is set up kinda like one of those action RPG's from the late 70's.
by the time you get to actually do anything, it's like, wow this sucks.
Dota 2. I find it fun once I understood it and learned, but even more than any MMO raids I've ever done the past decade, no game makes me feel like I'm being bossed around and a useless jackhole while simultaneously supposed to an automated instant champion at life than Dota2.
It's not even the game, it's the community.

You also get to do them again near the end of game which I won't go into for obvious reasons and I know why they did it but still it felt boring then too. That goes for all games though. Tutorial missions in games are incredibly tedious.

This, dear GOD this. There's no point to MMO's. All you do is grind quests and enemies to level up your character so you can get to the max level and go on repetitive raids over and over again to try and get high level "loot". The only MMO that ever gave me a reason to play past the first 15 levels was The Old Republic because it actually remembered the "RPG" part of MMORPG and put effort into the story and making you feel like what you're doing in the game actually matters.

el_pajolero posted...Jrpgs. I absolutely loathe grinding, which most of these games require in order to progress the story.
I don't get that coment at all. Would JRPGs be better if you only had to fight like 20 times throughout the whole game? The battle system is usually one of the most important parts of the game. It's a bit like saying FPS would be much better if you didn't have to spend so much time shooting at things.
I've never felt like you have to actively grind anyway, as in go back to areas and power level for bosses. That would be annoying, but JRPGs these days (or even last gen) don't really do that, with a few exceptions.

Darksiders. I tried playing the first one but every new area felt like a messy bedroom and each section of it needed something unique done in order to clean it. It really did feel like work.
I have to agree with you. Though, some of those messy sections were quite fun.

The all-new Canyon Falls exhibit at Newport Aquarium is set to open to the public 10 a.m. Saturday, March 14. NEWPORT, Ky.
Living in frigid waters without an insulating layer of blubber, sea otters expend large amounts of energy simply trying to stay alive. When a female sea otter gives birth, the additional strain of nursing and raising a pup can often be too much to cope with, especially after receiving a minor wound or infection.
The new River Otter Falls exhibit at the Tennessee Aquarium is a chance for people to learn a conservation comeback story. Chattanooga, TN (PRWEB) May 06, 2014
Construction is wrapping up on the new River Otter Falls exhibit at the Tennessee Aquarium.
Professional Cyclists Joanna Petterson and Luis Lemus to Contribute Home Grown Cycling Movies MONTEREY, Calif., April 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sea Otter Classic is excited to announce
Scientists studying seagrass beds in one of the largest estuaries in central California are crediting its recovery on the return of sea otters to the coastal region, according to new research published in this week's edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A thriving population of sea otters will keep sea urchins in check, which will allow kelp forests to prosper and allow them to absorb 12 times the amount of CO2 than if they were subject to sea urchin ravaging.
Ginger, Oakland Zoo's river otter, gave birth to a litter of three baby otters on February 18, 2012. They each weighed approximately 150 grams at birth.
Improved environmental conditions have enabled the otter (Lutra lutra) to spread in Andalusia over the past 20 years.
A decrease in California's endangered sea otter population likely means their water has grown more contaminated, scientists said. In a survey taken this spring, 2,654 otters were counted from Point Conception in the Santa Barbara area north to Half Moon Bay, about a 250-mile range, the U.S.

Arizona Cardinals
Three Cardinals land on midseason All-NFC West team
All 32 teams in the National Football League have played at least half of their schedule, so the lists of midseason awards are plentiful.
Mike Sando, who does a stellar job of covering the NFC West for ESPN.com, has released his midseason NFC West team, and three Arizona Cardinals got the nod.
Defensive end Calais Campbell, inside linebacker Daryl Washington and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald were all named to Sando's 26-member squad.
Campbell ranks third on the Cardinals' defense with 38 total tackles, and has also registered 3.5 sacks.
Washington leads the entire division with 75 total tackles and eight sacks. In fact, Terry Bradshaw named Washington his midseason Defensive Player of the Year during Fox NFL Sunday prior to the Cardinals' game in Green Bay.
And despite much discussion that Fitzgerald has not been featured enough in Arizona's struggling offense, the nine-year veteran still leads the NFC West with 51 catches and 585 yards.
In all, the San Francisco 49ers had 13 representatives on the team, Seattle had eight and the St. Louis Rams had two.

MONKEYS with Parkinson's disease-like symptoms have had their suffering eased by an injection of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into their brain.
Jun Takahashi of Kyoto University in Japan and colleagues injected these cells into monkeys whose brains had been damaged by a chemical that destroys dopamine-producing neurons and so causes Parkinson's symptoms.
Two monkeys received hESCs that had been matured into an early form of neural cell. Six months later, the monkeys had recovered 20 to 45 per cent of the movement they had lost before treatment. Post-mortems a year after treatment showed that the cells had developed into fully functioning dopamine-secreting neurons. Another monkey that received less-mature neural cells also showed improvements (Stem Cells, DOI: 10.1002/stem.1060).
"Monkeys starting with tremors and rigidity [began] to move smoothly, and animals originally confined to sitting down were able to walk around," says Takahashi.
The team says it will probably be four to six years before clinical trials in humans begin.

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 11/18/14
MIAMI When Russell Westbrook stalked off the court midway through the third quarter and arrived at the end of the bench, he punched the seat cushion he was about to sit on, an act that served as more than an expression of frustration. It also served as confirmation that once again Westbrook is what's killing the Thunder. Just kidding well, sort of. Because for Westbrook, an enigmatic, talented point guard (at least according to some), often there is no action without an equal and opposite reaction. If he is not offending the fashion police with his geek-chic stylings, he is offending the sensibilities of the hooperati with his hell hath no fury (or basketball IQ) approach to the game. On Sunday night, when his team needed him most after Kevin Durant went to the bench with four fouls midway through the third quarter Westbrook offended the tastes of one of his greatest benefactors, Coach Scott Brooks, who benched him for playing recklessly. While many of the questions s...

Love It or Hate It? Anne Hathaway's MTV Movie Awards Look
Love It or Hate It? Anne Hathaway's MTV Movie Awards Look
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
Do you think that Anne Hathaway wakes up in the morning and thinks of ways to outdo everyone else in the beauty arena? Seriously, it's hard to find instances of her looking even slightly unkempt.
It's no different at the MTV Movie Awards, where she was one of the few women to choose an updo. And I love how the warm brown and copper tones bring out her eyes. Overall, she looks content and glamorous — so unless you object, I'll bring you a tutorial tomorrow.

I'm obviously the only one who feels this way but a) I'm somewhat tired of seeing the exact same makeup look on her and b) they didn't do a very good job covering up her dark under eye circles because she looks very sick and/or tired to me. Please stress the importance of covering up dark circles when using products that would emphasize them (i.e. matte brown eyeshadow and black eyeliner on the lower waterline)in your tutorial ;).

As the storms came through Newberry last Thursday, a tree came down on the Crisis Pregnancy Center of Lake Murray (CPCLM), 1601 Martin Street in Newberry. No one was hurt, however we did suffer loss. We do have a very large deductible. So I'm asking our readers for help. Would you pull together and help us recoup our losses and reopen the center as soon as possible?
The building repairs will start after the debris is cleared, which we will hope will soon. CPCLM is not responsible for covering the building just our content.
We need: two small executive desks, a new or 'like new' desktop computer and two laptops, phones, reception chairs, a stereo, various office supplies, large file cabinet with lock and key, small two-drawer file cabinet, along with various little furnishings and equipment. If you would be willing to donate any of these items or money towards these items, please call Michelle Nicholson at 803-728-0969 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please keep us in your prayers. As this all happened on the very week that we expanded our hours (M, W, TH, F 10-5) and God brought three new volunteers to help with the expansion. This is not a setback, but rather a "set up" for Him to do something big for the CPCLM. Maybe he is ushering in a new location with more space for programs, clients, volunteers and staff.

"From what I saw they needed to improve on the basics of athletics."

First thing's first, we're advancing!
On January 24, 2015, Team RPG attended the Georgia qualifier in Huntsville, Alabama. Unlike all of their other tournaments, in this one, they were joined by six other Tennessee teams, including SHARP (which finished as second place alliance captain) and RoboBears, both of which Team RPG mentored.
After a very exciting day of competing, scouting, talking to judges, and making new friends, Team RPG finished in 8th place. The team was disappointed, but hopeful, because of their extensive outreach. Their good spirits were rewarded when they won second place Control award, second place Motivate award, second place Connect award, second place Think award, and an Inspire award, which allowed them to advance to the Georgia state competition that will be held on Valentines day (if you're looking for a romantic day to spend with your partner, a robotics tournament should be high on the list.)
But flashback to the beginning. The team arrived at the school where the qualifier was being held bright and early at 7:30 am and promptly began scouting, the remainder of check-in, and the interview process. Team RPG was happy to see several teams that they recognized from the 2013-2014 season and were sure to say hello to their old friends.
The team happened to be in both the first and last matches of the day, so they were busy all day improving and repairing their robot and preparing for their next match, always careful to keep at least one person at their table at all times in case a judge happened to come by.
The end of the day was exciting. Their anticipation grew each time they received a second place award. By the time they won the Inspire award, Nocturna was squealing, hyperventilating, and jumping up and down in her seat (this is not an exaggeration – this is actually what happened). Hugs soon after ensued.
All in all, the tournament went wonderfully and the team looks forward to competing in Atlanta!

A fortnight after the accident in which 45 passengers were charred to death in a Hyderabad-bound bus from the city, the Tipu Sultan Palace Road in Kalasipalya, once again witnessed chaotic scenes on Thursday morning. For this is also where the office of the agency, National Travels, that operated the bus that caught fire in Haveri claiming seven lives, is situated.
Curious onlookers and residents of Kalasipalya crowded around the office, which was already surrounded by press and media persons since 7 a.m. when the news of the accident filtered in. While families of the accident victims were yet to reach the agency, Shakeel Ahmed, partner of National Travels Zameer Ahmed Khan Associates, maintained that all the necessary security measures were in place in the bus.
Mr. Shakeel Ahmed said Volvo Buses too must be held accountable for the accident as the bus, costing Rs. 1.1 crore, was purchased less than two months ago. The agency representatives said that there could also be a possible flaw in the bus design leading to the accident. They maintained they had followed all the security guidelines, adding that the bus had an emergency exit and was carrying only the baggage of the passengers on the night of the accident. He said that the agency had a five-year-permit from October 9 this year, and the bus was serviced as recently as a week ago by Volvo Buses, adding that the maintenance was carried out only at the facilities approved by the company. He also claimed that the two drivers Nawaaz (48) and Mujahid (42) were both trained for a week after the bus was purchased and issued certificates by Volvo. The two drivers had been associated with the travel agency for the last five years.
While some survivors claimed that the bus was travelling at a speed of over 100 kmph, Mr. Shakeel Ahmed said the bus could not go beyond 90 kmph due to speed governors. "Volvo too must be questioned regarding its design," he said.
Owner for inquiry
Dharwad Staff Correspondent reports:
Janata Dal (Secular) leader and owner of National Travels B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan has urged the State government to order an inquiry into the possibility of there being technical faults in Volvo buses which may have led to the two accidents.
Speaking to presspersons after visiting the accident victims in Haveri on Thursday, Mr. Ahmed said it has been noticed that the buses which burst into flames near Mahabubnagar and in Haveri, were purchased in the last one and a half months. The driver of the Haveri bus was a well-trained person.
A comprehensive inquiry could shed light on the cause of the accidents, Mr. Zameer said.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Celso Agner, MD, MS, MSc (Michigan Neurology Partners)
Description: The scholarly study of anatomy can vary from a monotonous memorization of names and structures, to an artistic representation of the body in da Vinci's style, or to an innovative approach integrating structure, function, and good techniques of memorization. This book stylistically approaches neuroanatomy in an easy to understand manner.
Purpose: The purpose is to address neuroanatomy, evolution, and embryology of the nervous system in a practical, concise, and comprehensive manner. Those objectives are clearly met by all authors.
Audience: The audience is mostly composed of neuroanatomists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons who want to review major topics of already learnt topics in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. All objectives were met. The author is an authority in the subject.
Features: Through history and facts, the authors concentrate on major aspects of behavior and attempts to correlate them with structural concepts in neuroanatomy. The topic is, however, repetitive and, possibly, not necessary, even if the approach to it is different. In my view, it is a replication of other readily available sources of information and probably other sources would be useful in the same fashion. It may be a worthy book, however, for specific populations of neuroscientists and students who would adapt to a more eclectic way of studying. The references are up-to-date.
Assessment: I think this would be an important component of any neuroscience library, as different study modalities may prevail and some students may particularly benefit from this book's style.
