Mortal Kombat X moves forward with a snappier version of the previous game's fighting and some cool new characters, but the story and other features around the edges feel a bit rough in spots.
The ways that Axiom Verge resembles Metroid help set up and drive home the ways that Axiom Verge is most definitely not Metroid.
Hotline Miami's thrillingly brutal gameplay is stretched to the point of breaking in this aesthetically pleasing, but otherwise disappointing sequel.

A fictional currency is one where the object being exchanged does not exist in the real world, such as Final Fantasy's Gil, or are not used for exchange in the real world, such as Fallout's bottlecaps.
It's not just for airplanes anymore: Game mascots and MMO players alike have taken to the skies. Players can use flight to quickly navigate large levels, find hidden items, or take opponents down.
Race of placid creatures that routinely get kidnapped in the Banjo-Kazooie series. They have evil counterparts that are called MInjos.
A lap is one circuit around a race track. This is featured in many, but not all racing games.

Oh, the irony. If there were any justice, everyone involved will draw gross misconduct penalties for taunting.
A year from now, the eight-team 2004 World Cup of Hockey will be in its early stages, in Europe and North America, building momentum and interest for a one-shot, Sept. 14 championship game in Toronto's Air Canada Centre.
And it will be a joint production of the NHL and the NHL Players' Association, which at that very moment will be engaging in a stare-down as a deadline looms.
"You blinked!" "No, you blinked!" "No fair, Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Wirtz! You can't sleep through a stare-down!"
The next day, the current Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL and its Players' Association will lapse.
Unless the negotiators pull off an upset of Miracle-at-the-Bargaining-Table magnitude, the sport will shut down. At the very least, given the realities of the negotiating process, or even the mentality that had us taking No-Doz, beginning term papers hours before they were due and staying up all night, the bargaining won't be completed by Sept. 15. The best-case scenario, it seems, will be that an agreement is reached quickly and preserves an 82-game regular season. But don't bet on that either.
Unofficially, the over-under betting line on the length of the 2004-05 season is 41 games, or seven fewer than the NHL squeezed in after the 1995 New Year following the 1994 work stoppage.
This time, owners, in their plaintive quest to legislate means of saving themselves from themselves, figuratively will place padlocks on the NHL operation and lock out players, fans and interest.
When the first puck finally is dropped, the sport will be picking at the scars left from a lockout and acrimony. And the fans will be appropriately disgusted, at least going through the motions of holding a grudge before the affinity for the sport draws them back. As it always does.
But the World Cup will tantalize.
The 1996 tournament, which culminated in the United States' victory over Canada in the best-of-three final staged in Philadelphia (Game 1) and Montreal (Games 2 and 3), was exciting, if not particularly memorable.
It wasn't particularly memorable in the sense that it doesn't evoke instant recognition, along the lines of some of the great Canada Cups, plus the 1972 Summit Series and the 1979 Challenge Cup.
The next hit by Canada's terrific Barenaked Ladies, who are neither naked nor ladies, will include a line, "Where have you gone, Paul Henderson, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you." Few in the United States, even among hockey fans, instantly recall the Americans' 1996 victory. It helped hockey interest in the United States, including at the youth level, but that was more a matter of a continuation of momentum rather than a huge bump. And even if Adam Foote's tie-breaking third-period goal had stood up for a Canadian victory, it wasn't as if it was going to be viewed as a fireworks moment in sports history north of the border.
It still was a blast, including little things along the lines of Brett Hull being booed for being an alleged turncoat and the Russians still trying to get their act together following the breakup of the Soviet bloc. The deciding third game of the final was a wild affair, with Foote seemingly destined to be an unlikely goal-scoring hero before the Americans
stormed back in the final minutes to win.
As we've seen in recent Olympics and other world events, it's impossible to replicate the atmosphere of the Canada Cup in the years when the political ramifications couldn't be hauled down in a corner and then ignored. As silly as it seems now, the series -- whether Canada Cup or Challenge Cup in New York -- could seem to be virtual referenda.
It's not like that anymore.
Thank goodness.
And the internationalization of the NHL talent pool has turned events such as these into virtual intramural all-star tournaments, with team loyalties temporarily suspended and the national flags stitched on shoulders.
It will be no different next year. The World Cup again will be a display of elite talent that mocks the concept of a Tuesday night, mid-November, $96-a-seat NHL regular-season game, often with entertainment value diminished by a lack of urgency and novelty, plus the clogging and grabbing that plague the product. It won't match the intensity of NHL
playoff hockey, and that's where the divisions drawn by the paychecks have it all over this sort of tournament. But in its own way, it will be a terrific show.
And it will almost be as if they need to make sure to enforce the hurry-up faceoffs and get the game over my midnight, because then all the lights will go off.
Literally and figuratively.
That's the problem the NHL faces this season. As we look ahead, we can't help but frame everything within the context of the looming end of the CBA and the almost certain lockout.
Rather than complain about the negativism of that approach, both sides should understand that in a backhanded way, it's a compliment. We will be talking about what seems likely to go away, at least for a short time, and likely for a long period. The NHL's position will be, fine, but if the financial structure of the game isn't overhauled, a brief lockout will look great compared to the alternative of long-range disaster. The Players' Association's position will continue to be that the present system is the most fair in all of major-league sports, and that the marketplace should rule.
And while the positions are being hardened, the World Cup -- and the Canada vs. Sweden final, produced in part because Belarus won't be in the field to take shots at Tommy Salo -- will serve as the going-away party.

From the Publisher"Communication in Mechanism Design by Steve Williams is a contribution of major importance. This applies both to the role in advancing the topic of mechanism design for economic theorists as well as to the mathematical exposition which is accessible without compromising on content. The reformulation of the Frobenius Theorem, in a form suitable for applications in mechanism design, is Williams' own and provides a crucial step forward. In his preface, Steve Williams says "This text complements Hurwicz and Reiter". Steve is much too modest in his comment. In fact, his version of the Frobenius Theorem is a natural and brilliant solution to a difficult problem."
- Leonid Hurwicz, Nobel Laureate, University of Minnesota
In his very interesting book, Steve Williams provides an important and deep fundamental analysis of the structure and role of information in mechanisms. This is a must read for anyone interested in the foundations of mechanism design. - John Ledyard, California Institute of Technology
"This book explores in detail the use of calculus on manifolds to design decentralized mechanisms whose performance achieves specified economic objectives. The writing makes the uses of calculus on manifolds accessible to a reader familiar with standard multi-variable calculus. The book makes a fine a companion volume to Hurwicz and Reiter's Designing Economic Mechanisms. It should appeal to mathematicians as well as economists."
-Stanley Reiter, Northwestern University
"This book is a valuable addition to economics and the mechanism design literature. Williams has nicely resurrected, clarified, illustrated, and described an important part of this area that has not been as fully exploited as it could and should."
Donald Saari, University of California, Irvine

The proposal for an underground parking facility on Venkatnarayana Road in T. Nagar has moved forward with the consultant appointed by the Chennai Corporation submitting a report.
The consultant, who was to conduct a traffic survey and study commercial viability of the parking lot, has suggested that the facility should have three floors, two for parking and the other for commercial establishments. The three floors will have a built up area of 2,935 sq mt each. A total of 252 cars can be parked simultaneously.
The facility has been proposed below the Corporation playground opposite the Dr. Natesan Park. The ground, which has a basketball court, will remain untouched.
According to the report, the facility is estimated to cost Rs.20.16 crore and will take 18 months for implementation. Parking operations will be semi-automatic. Cars will be moved up and down in lifts.
The facility will be implemented on a design, build, operate and transfer basis. The period of concession will be 30 years and the operator has to pay Rs.15 lakh a year to the Corporation. The traffic study found that on an average during a given weekend, 279 cars and 1,185 two wheelers require parking space in and around Venkatnarayana Road.
The report will be placed before a technical committee of the civic body. It will then be placed before the Council for approval. Later, the tender for the project will be floated, according to sources in the Corporation.
Keywords: parking, underground parking, T.Nagar, Chennai, Venkatanarayana Road

Texas Health Dallas Receives Double Honor From American Heart Association
DALLAS, July 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas has been recognized by the American Heart Association for providing quality, evidence-based care for coronary artery disease and heart failure.
"This is another example of the dedication and commitment in providing stellar quality heart and vascular care to the Dallas community by physicians, nursing, allied health professionals and administration," said Jon Gardner, administrative director of the Heart & Vascular Service Line at Texas Health Dallas. "This is a milestone in the history of Texas Health Dallas."
Texas Health Dallas received the two medals as part of the AHA's "Get With The Guidelines(SM)"( )program, which is a hospital-based quality-improvement initiative that recognizes top-level cardiac and stroke care in the United States.
Texas Health Dallas is one of the only Dallas-based hospitals recognized in multiple categories. Honored medical centers are featured in an advertisement in this year's "America's Best Hospitals" issue of US News & World Report.
"This program is about consistently treating patients according to the most up-to-date guidelines, which helps ensure better outcomes," said Dr. James Park, an interventional cardiologist at Texas Health Dallas and medical director of the hospital's cardiac catheterization laboratory. "This award recognizes that we're providing a high level of care to our patients — and that we're doing it consistently. We're honored by the recognition, but we're most proud that we're continually challenging ourselves to improve and continually working to make health care better for our patients."
Dr. Gregg Fonarow, chairman of the program and director of the Ahmanson-UCLA Cardiomyopathy Center, said as many as 80,000 lives could be saved annually if just the coronary artery disease module, for which Texas Health Dallas was recognized for consistent achievement, was implemented nationwide.
Coronary artery disease and heart failure remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in both men and women in the United States, according to the AHA.
"Patients hospitalized with a cardiovascular event are at particularly high risk for recurrent events, hospitalizations and cardiovascular death," said Dr. John Harper, a cardiologist on the Texas Health Dallas medical staff and medical director of the hospital's Congestive Heart Failure Unit. "This program was developed to provide hospitals with a systematic approach to measure and improve the quality of care."

Big gulp - Guerlain Plus Que Jamais
Though it wouldn't feel right at all times of day or all seasons. I recently noticed that a number of my most favourite scents have ylang ylang in them - it is uncanny.
Thread: If you could choose one
We all adore fragrances, clearly, and wear different ones all the time, sometimes at the same time even. But, if you could choose just one fragrance to have, your absolute favorite of them all, what would it be? My neighbour asked me that question and I have absolutely, positively no idea!! Do you?

"So many scents, so little skin"...
C&E Evelyn. My fav since 1994.
Jean Couturier Coriandre, since 1989.
No I can't do it - sorry!
At first I thought Roma, then I realised I couldn't do without
Rive Gauche, Ivoire or Cristobal.
I can't do it. I'm too far gone.
The ONE is often my sotd. Today I'm wearing Shalimar; I love the incensey opoponax and I swear I could live in this!
Tomorrow I might wear Vol de Nuit and realise that this is it. Then I'll realise that vintage Antaeus is something I can't live without. Or Chanel No 19. Mitsouko feels like a pretty "so-so" choice until I wear it and is reminded about why it's such a classic. And so on.
Like Lilybelle.. I don't know if I can do that . However, if push came to a big shove, I will have to revert back to Mitsouko ...we share DNA ....

For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
This is difficult, but since they don't know and certainly wouldn't take it personally anyway, I will for the sake of the thread choose one - Chanel No 19.
But I'm sort of fickle, and like tott up there I tend to think (if not declare), "Surely this is the most glorious fragrance ever created!" of whatever I'm wearing at the time.
I'm delighted that many of you are able to choose one.....I don't even come close. I'm equally delighted that a few of you can't choose any, which is the spot I'm in ;-)

Can't choose just one.
Just one from each genre, maybe.

I guess if I actually had to pick one forever, I'd just take Chanel No 5 because it's beyond reproach and good for almost any occasion.
Problem is, its not my favorite. In fact, if you'd asked for a list of "choose 5" or even "choose 3," Chanel no 5 wouldn't make the cut. So, for this question, I choose based not on what my favorite is, but what is the most versatile out of my top scents.
All time favorite? Probably Mitsouko. Maybe Chanel Cuir de Russie.

Do you think "Old Lady Perfume" is a compliment? Join the Scent of an Old Woman Social Group and chat in-depth about vintage and classic fragrances!
Chanel No. 19 is my favorite, but it's too challenging to wear every day. I guess if I absolutely _had_ to choose just one, it might be Cristalle - it has a lot of what I love in 19, but I could wear it any time.
But I'd never, ever, limit myself to one voluntarily. I do sometimes seriously consider going down to ten, or even five, but not one.
I'd choose Cuir de Russie (parfum) as my favorite. This is the one I'd grab from a burning building if I only had time to take one thing.
But I agree with Mo's logic....if I was being practical about it and could only have one perfume for the rest of my life, maybe I'd go for something lighter and less seasonal....and something I won't get sick of. Perhaps an iris fragrance--Iris Nobile EDP, Delrae Mythique, or TDC Bois d'Iris.
She has to be kidding have so many big favorites.
Esencia de Loewe for me. Classy and not as popular which makes it almost exclusively mine.
Since I don't think I could endure a life without smelling either jasmine or rose, I might pick a classic: something like Joy, since it is very rich in all the florals that I love.
OMG - this is the ultimate nightmare for every true Basenoter!
I´d choose D&G Feminine, it´s a kind of scent that in a way is never "wrong", I have also never regretted it when picking it for my SotD, which is the case with so many others.
First I thought of Chanel no 5, but I don´t want to smell of something everyone and their dog recognize.
Silly me!

Hummm---Our sense of smell is the most easily fatigued of our senses,,,so picking one would be difficult.
If I just don't know WHAT to wear---Chanel Cristalle will always make me happy!!
For sheer beauty: Mitsouko
For versatility: Green Irish Tweed

I thought of Ormond Jayne Woman first, but then I realized it had to be Caron Tabac Blond. It's in my signature, after all. Nothing can compare.
See my blog; http://www.basenotes.net/blogs/2645-kumquat
Jicky. Extrait.
Fracas hands down
There is no doubt in my mind that Mitsouko extrait would be my choice.
Ormonde Woman. But of course I would never wear just one scent, because I'd become anosmic to it and that would be terrible!
I love so many. I'd like to be able to say Habanita or NR for Her, but the reality is, Shalimar always always smells perfect. In the summer, it becomes all suede-salty and hay-sweet in the heat, and in the winter, I get a lot of spice and warm vanilla out of it. It's my easiest frag, the one I can just spray and go and not have to think about. It's never too strong, but it always hangs around all day long. And my husband, who doesn't take much notice of my perfume, always likes Shalimar. It's basically the perfect scent for me.
So I've had a long, hard think about this and like many of you, agree with Mo's logic. My answer (can hardly believe I have one!), has to be vintage Chanel no5 edc......it was my grandmother's fragrance and the one I choose for good luck, when I'm extra nostalgic, missing her, etc. I could.not. live without it ;-)
Comme l'amour, le parfum doit captiver la femme dès le premier contact---André Fraysse
The hard part is that the fragrance you love the most might not be the one you'd choose if you could have only one. Frederic Malle Une Rose is the fragrance I most revere as creation of great beauty. However, I wouldn't want to wear it every day.
The fragrance that comes closest to being "all things" to me is Etro Shaal Nur. I think I could wear that one every day, if it were the only one I owned.
Hmmm, Bal A Versailles' Parfum Extrait For Me!

I went from a Mac 26X to a hunter 31 1984. WOW what a difference it sails very well and as far as single handed I sail with my wife aka admiral but I do most of the handeling. It is very easy you will need an autopilot I have a ST 4000. It sails very close to the wind but it has upgraded sails. I agree with the person that said do your own assesment of your needs. Our boat has plenty of storage for our needs. In fact we don't use all we have. Tanks are good for a few days out not a crossing for sure. We are not more that two days from a pump out and fill. So we have no issue with capacity. We really like to boat.

Since my son was very young, we rented houses throughout the Poconos for skiing. They were some of the best memories of our lives and we cherished the day that we could own a home of our own. Now we would like to share that world with you so that you may create wonderful memories with your family.
Christine and Steve purchased this chalet in 2008
The Poconos has always been a refreshing vacation spot, with even more activities than the Jersey shore. Towamensing Trails, near Big Boulder/Lake Harmony, has wonderful amenities for adults and children. The beach area is large and the lake is stocked with trout and very clean. Many people enjoy the large swimming pool and there is a special pool just for the kids. The community is close to Big Boulder, Pocono Raceway, many lakes and parks, golf courses, shopping, antiquing, horsebacking riding, and hiking and biking trails. We enjoy boating, so we make use of the community lake and nearby Beltzville State Park.
You will find all the comforts of home and numerous personal decorative features in the spirit of country living.
Feels like you just came home from a long week at work and are ready to put your feet up and "veg". Everytime we thought Christine missed something, we found it within five minutes. Everything you could need. Wonderful comfy beds (already made up when we got there), towels, hair dryer and everything you could need in the kitchen. Christine is always just a phone call away to answer any questions. Best part was the multiple seating areas in the livingroom. We went there with my sister and her husband for Superbowl weekend and had plenty of comfortable places to sit and watch the game.
Thank you for everything! We will definately be back.
Cozy, charming home, close to Big Boulder Mountain and Split Rock Indoor Water Park. Perfect for our family getaway. Had everything we needed. Lots of games, puzzles, and movies. We were even able to bring our dog with us.Enjoyed taking him on walks around the scenic area. Saw many deer from the moment we entered the neighborhood. Christine, the owner was very hospitable. Made us feel it was our home away from home.
What a relaxing way to ring in the New Year! Our family had a great time at Wanda's Dream. The place was cozy yet roomy enough for everyone. Everything we were looking for - like shopping, skiing & dining was nearby. Thank you Christine for sharing your home with us and we look forward to our next trip to the Pocono's.
i have rented homes for many years through VBRO and I would say that this is the best transaction that I have ever had! This home was so warm and inviting from the time I stepped into the living room. I had everything I needed and more. I so enjoyed the deer and turkeys in the AM and PM. I also saw 3 bears on my trip! This home was located in the perfect spot to everything. I had the perfect week for the fall foliage and saw many places because of the best house owner, Christine! I want to thank you for being so kind and helpful in making my stay in your home, one to remember. Thanks for taking the time for giving me directions to many wonderful sites to see, places to eat, and making sure that I made it safe to your home. You made my stay so easy and comfortable. Your home was easy to find and I had everything that I need and I will come back again to try that jacuzzi and fireplace out! I thank you again from the bottom of my heart for everything.
God Bless
We wanted to thank you for the use of your Pocono home. The house was wonderful – very spacious and with every amenity you could think of. Even the dogs made themselves right at home.
The weather was not very cooperative so we spent more time indoors than we planned. With a teen and a pre-teen along, that could have been a bit challenging, but the number of board games and movies you had available took care of that concern. Even with the excellent wireless, the kids really enjoyed playing board games and actually left the i-pads and i-phones take a break at times.
We had planned on doing a lot of fishing and bicycling, but the rain kept us from those activities. We did really enjoy the deer which came very close to the deck. I think the deer enjoyed it as well (at least they enjoyed the bread, popcorn and apples).
We did do some interesting things – the kids are big on ghost hunter shows so we went to the Old Jail Museum in Jim Thorpe. Not an expert on that sort of thing but the girls mentioned 'orbs' and whatever they are, some orbs appeared in some of their old cell block photos. They also had a good time horseback riding at Deer Path Stables. Now our niece's mother is hearing how bad her daughter needs a horse!
You had an excellent list of restaurants, but we mostly cooked our own meals. The one exception was Murphy's Loft which had some very good sandwiches. Our granddaughter loves French onion soup and theirs was some of the best we had.
One day we road tripped to the Old Country Junction store which is really a must see. They have everything you can think of. Later that evening we continued on to Becky's Drive-In in Walnutport which has to be the nicest drive in we have ever been to. Even a passing thunderstorm didn't cause much concern.
Finally, since it was too cold to do the waterpark at camelback, we took the girls to Dorney Park on Saturday when the weather was a little better.
Christine was helpful and friendly. House was exactly as pictured. Spacious and comfy for 6 adults after a long day on the slopes. We over-packed! Property had everything we needed right down to board games and a movie collection. Thank you, we will be back!
-Melissa Santiago
I am extremely happy I came across this property when I was looking for a weekend get away with my friends. Not only was the house fully equipped with everything we needed and more, but it really felt like home. The house was spotless, which made for easy comfort during our stay, and Christine was great with providing us with all the information we would need before, after, and during our weekend. She even had a welcome note for us when we arrived! - THAT! and, instead of waiting a lifetime for our deposit back, it was deposited back to us in a prompt and timely manner. Back to business though, the house was great. The pictures are nice, but when you get there in person... it is even nicer, (minus a few cracks and peeling in some of the paint ) but ... such a warm cozy feel...again... that had EVERYTHING we needed. If I go back to the Poconos for another stay, I will definitely be calling Christine. I give this place a 5 star rating, not only for the house itself, and hospitality, but also for the distance it was away from our excursions. Jack frost was about 5 miles from the house, and Big Boulder was about 9 miles away. Couldn't have planned our weekend without Christine's pointers on restaurants, super markets, and mountains near by. Thank you Christine! - Till next time. - Nicole

Cyber attacks could justify military force
Tuesday - 5/31/2011, 1:38pm EDT
By Jolie Lee
Federal News Radio
A cyber attack from another country could constitute an act of war and warrant military action, according to a Pentagon document that will be released next month.
The Wall Street Journal reports this is the first time the Defense Department has considered using military combat in response to a sabotage of computer networks.
The cyber policy would define the role of the hacker as possibly as significant as a threat posed by nuclear reactors or bombs, depending on the level of disruption caused by the attack, the Journal reports.
The Journal quoted one military official, who said, "If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks."
Cyber attacks on the United States and, most recently, government contractor Lockheed Martin, have increased the urgency of developing a strong cyber policy, the Journal reports.
Earlier this month, the White House released its cybersecurity policy to expand the role of the Homeland Security Department, giving DHS authority over civilian networks similar to how DoD has authority over military networks.
"Our nation is at risk. The cybersecurity vulnerabilities in our government and critical infrastructure are a risk to national security, public safety, and economic prosperity," according to a statement from the Obama administration.

But perhaps I'm not to be trustedeveryone has their genre fetishes, and 19th-century (or faux-19th-century) Barrie-Carroll-Baum-Maeterlinck-Burnett faerie lit, as well as its Romantic art and ad imagery, is one of mine. Even so, Hogan's grasp of his milieusBarrie's treasure-map landscape and the interior castles of imaginative childrenis confident and respectful. There's no effort to contemporize or truckle. Certainly, the script (co-written by Hogan and Michael Goldenberg) shapes Barrie's somewhat inert narrative into a brisk race between airborne sword fights and pubescent epiphanies, and Hogan never belabors a joke or shortchanges a moment of budding emotional crisis. Sure, Jeremy Sumpter makes for a particularly obnoxious Peter, but shouldn't the ultimate self-made Lost Boy be a goddamn brat?
As a voluptuous, mouse-squeaky Tinkerbelloutsexing Disney's Marilyn-derived spriteLudivine Sagnier is the film's crudest gag, but Hogan never goes for cute because pretend-nasty is the reality of playtime. Hook, played with dignified zest by Jason Isaacs, actually gets to summary-execute dim-witted crew members; Tink, like the menacing, Brian Froudian mermaids, is a functioning kid-id, capable of spite and homicide. The notion that the Lost Boys represent a sort of Lord of the Flies degenerationWendy's little brothers, once inculcated, begin to refer to her as "mother"isn't neglected. Surprisingly devoted to the Barrie original, Hogan is also wide awake to its expressions of childhood joy and fear, and properly places Wendy (the toothsome and bruisingly lovely Rachel Hurd-Wood) center stage. On the edge of puberty (with "a woman's chin," her aunt proclaims) and fraught with its twin dramas of abandonment and fulfillment, this Wendy may be the warrior queen of nursery movies, bravely facing the pre-teen's beautiful sacrifices with an open heart.
Hogan's something of a daydream believer: Just as his previous comedies tended to burst into surreal song (the helium styling of John Denver's "Annie's Song" in My Best Friend's Wedding was a high point), this movie's dizzying visual luxury is its own justification. Peter and Wendy reaching, Michelangelo-ish, toward each other outside the window in the Darling brood's maiden flying voyage; their midair, fairy-gilded waltz in the forest (even Hook is moved); the giant lunging alligator silhouetted against the full moon; the aforementioned schooner taking to the skies and navigating around Big Ben on its way homeEdward Robert Hughes would be impressed.
Aptly enough, the save-Tink audience chant "I do believe . . . " is salvaged by an ecstatic, world-spanning montage that emphasizes the story's ecumenical relevance. Best of all, Hogan's Peter Pan isn't truly a fantasyit's a self-knowing whimsy. We and the characters are all well aware that the hodgepodge of pirates and Indians and clouds fit for sitting are merely trifles invented to obscure the difficult facts of living. Kind of like movies themselves.

I'm objecting to the ability of corporations to now spend large amounts of money in elections in order to influence the public to vote for a particular candidate. Political lobbying and public service announcements are related issues, but different ones.

My swing is pretty solid, so most of the technique stuff is not usually a problem. Really seems that if I make that habit of getting a good look a the ball in warm up, then that really carries over to the match quite well. Any framing or mishits are a cue that my focus is slipping and to step it up.
This has worked like a dream for me for years.
A good warm-up routine really helps. Unlike 5263 I have to start with the swing mechanics. There are a couple of things I consistently do incorrectly if I don't emphasize them first. I first focus on hitting my set-up positions and creating the proper swing path. I just groove that at very slow pace against the wall from about half court. I practice fh, 2hbh, 1hbh slice.
After that's happening then I make sure the still head, eyes on the cp thing is there. Last for me is the footwork and balance. By this point I'm all the way back hitting mostly at a moderate pace.
If something breaks down I go back to the mini-tennis and fix it.
I have lots of bad days still, but this routine seems to reduce them quite a bit.

Childhood obesity is on the rise and can lead to adverse health effects, such as type II diabetes development in children. A study published in Diabetologia has found that obese kids with type II diabetes may experience brain changes that could affect how well they learn in school. This is the first study that shows that the brain is affected by type II diabetes in children.
Effects on the Brain of Type II Diabetes in Children
According to the study, the brains of children who have type II diabetes are not working as effectively as they should be. As such, their ability to excel in school is adversely affected. What the study did not assess however, was whether or not this brain damage can be reversed. More research will be needed in order to determine if the brain changes due to type II diabetes in children can be reversed. The study found that the children who had type II diabetes did not perform as well on memory and spelling tasks and tests of overall intellectual functioning as their peers who did not have type II diabetes.
What Can Be Done
Unfortunately, it is not fully understood at this time how type II diabetes affects children's ability to think and learn. However, researchers do know that the brain uses sugar for metabolism and that insulin resistance decreases the body's ability to get more sugar to the brain. As such, children with type II diabetes should participate in physical activity every day in order to improve their insulin resistance. Weight loss often comes with exercise (along with healthy eating). Weight loss may also lead to an improvement in insulin resistance.
The best way to help prevent type II diabetes, often associated with being overweight or obese, is to practice a healthy lifestyle to begin with. Maintain a healthy diet, consisting of many fresh fruits and vegetables and be sure to incorporate physical activity into your regular routine. Encourage your child to get outdoors and partake in a family bike ride. Even indoors, a child can participate in active video games for a fun and unique workout. If you're looking for a summer plan for your child, consider a weight loss camp such as Camp Shane. We teach children how to follow and maintain a healthy lifestyle, all while encouraging friendships and fun.

Community financial aid to trans-European networks
Trans-European network policy depends on financial instruments being available to support projects with the highest trans-European added value.
Council Regulation (EC) No 2236/95 of 18 September 1995 laying down general rules for the granting of Community financial aid in the field of trans-European networks [see amending acts]
This Regulation establishes the conditions and procedures for granting Community aid to projects of common interest in the field of trans-European networks for transport, energy and telecommunications.
Eligibility criteria:
- projects of common interest financed by Member States and identified within the framework of the guidelines referred to in Article 155 of the Amsterdam Treaty;
- projects financed by Member States, by regional or local authorities or organisations working within an administrative or legal framework that makes them similar to public organisations;
The concept of "project" includes parts of projects that are technically and financially independent and form a whole designed to fulfil an economic and technical function.
Forms of aid:
- co-financing of studies related to projects, including preparatory, feasibility and evaluation studies, and other technical support measures for these studies (save in exceptional cases, the Community contribution may in general not exceed 50% of the total cost of a study);
- contributions towards fees for guarantees for loans from the European Investment Fund or other financial institutions;
- subsidies of the interest on loans granted by the European Investment Bank or other public or private financial bodies
- direct grants to investments in duly justified cases;
- where appropriate, a combination of the above-mentioned forms of Community assistance.
The total amount of Community aid may not exceed 10 % of the total investment cost.
The Commission may produce an indicative multiannual programme to serve as a reference for the annual decisions allocating Community aid for projects.
Project selection criteria. Community aid is granted on a priority basis to projects according to their contribution to the objectives set out in Article 129b of the Treaty and to the other objectives and priorities defined in the guidelines referred to in Article 129c(1) of the Treaty. It is intended for projects that are potentially economically viable and for which the financial profitability at the time of application is deemed insufficient. The decision to grant Community assistance should also take account of:
- the maturity of the project,
- the stimulative effect on public and private finance,
- the soundness of the financial package,
- direct or indirect socio-economic effects, in particular on employment,
- the environmental consequences.
Especially in the case of cross-border projects, coordination must also be taken into account.
Applications for financial aid must be submitted to the Commission through the intermediary of the Member State concerned or by the body directly concerned with the agreement of the Member State. The Regulation stipulates the information required for the assessment and identification of applications (e.g. name of the body responsible, the type of assistance envisaged and a description of the project concerned).
Financial provisions: eligible expenditure and method of payment.
Financial control is carried out by Member States. Without prejudice to this control work, the Commission may send officials or staff to carry out spot checks on the projects financed. The Commission may reduce, suspend or cancel financial aid in the event of irregularities, or if one of the conditions specified in the decision granting the financial aid has not been met.
Cooperation to evaluate systematically progress with projects. Every year, the Commission is to submit a report on the activities carried out under this Regulation.
In implementing this Regulation, the Commission is assisted by a Committee that meets in the appropriate composition according to the sectors treated (transport, telecommunications or energy). The Committee is composed of representatives of the Member States and chaired by a representative of the Commission. It is a normative committee.
The financial reference amount for the implementation of this Regulation for the period 1995-99 is ECU 2 345 million.
