Gamboa via unanimous decision vs Farenas
More News from Mark Giongco
MANILA, Philippines – Cuban Yuriorkis Gamboa defeated Filipino Michael Farenas via unanimous decision in the penultimate bout of the Pacquiao-Marquez 4 Sunday (Manila time) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The judges scored it 117-109, 118-108, 117-108.
Gamboa, who won the vacant WBA interim super featherweight title, dropped Farenas twice, in round two and in round seven.
The Olympic gold medalist grazed Farenas' face with a straight that sent the Filipino down after landing a short and quick right hook that knocked Farenas the first time.
Farenas, who had a cut on his left eye due to an accidental head butt in round three, battled back and even scored his own knock down in the ninth round.
Gamboa, who remains undefeated, looked as if he was going to finish Farenas off but the Filipino boxer turned it around after unloading a crushing left that put the former featherweight champion down on his knees.
Gamboa, the quicker fighter, though was able to recover in the ensuing rounds and got back to pressing the fight.

Benguet town tests Aquino's order on mining
BAGUIO CITY—Testing the effectiveness of President Aquino's mining policy and the 1995 Philippine Mining Act, the Kankanaey communities of Kibungan in Benguet asked the government to exempt them from large-scale mining during a church-led dialogue with national agencies here on Thursday.
The petition, which was sent to the Office of the President early this year, cited as justification for the exemption Executive Order No. 79 and the mining law (Republic Act No. 7942) which exempt watersheds and culturally sensitive areas from commercial mining.
The petition said Section 4 of EO 79 identifies prime agricultural lands and tourism spots among areas closed to mining activities.
"Our land comprising the whole territory of our ancestral domain is a prime agricultural land devoted to the production of high-valued crops, such as indigenous rice and highland vegetables, that supplies Regions I, II and the National Capital Region," it said.
It cited the Les-eng and Palina rice terraces among tourist destinations that require preservation.
It said Kibungan has proclaimed watersheds, waterways and customary tombs which are closed to mining as prescribed by Section 19 of RA 7942.
The petition said the clans who hold certificate of ancestral domain title oppose large-scale mining due to its potential health hazards, impact on the environment and industrial impact on Kibungan's waterways.
Aquino has directed the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples to address the petition, beginning with the dialogue, according to the Igorota Foundation Inc., one of the nongovernment organizations helping the Kibungan clans.
Officials of the government agencies concerned said it was too early to say how Malacañang would heed the petition.
But Juancho Pablo Calvez, Mines and Geosciences Bureau acting deputy director and chief metallurgist, told the petitioners that the last mine leasehold claim over Kibungan expired on Sept. 28 last year.
"So no mine application can prosper without your consent," he said.
He said the mining law still honors the indigenous peoples' right to express their free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) to a project. The absence of their consent, he said, means no project can proceed.
Danilo Daguio, DA Cordillera assistant director, said the country's drive for rice self-sufficiency this year is an important justification for Kibungan's petition for exemption.
He said the country's food industry is starting to export food products, like organic rice. Vincent Cabreza, Inquirer Northern Luzon

most of Overgrowth's graphical news flashes are "well known" , i think they just enjoy sharing their engine with the public :)
Overgrowth takes place in the savage world of Lugaru where rabbits, wolves and other animals are forced to use paws, claws and medieval weaponry to engage each other in battle. Combining 3rd person adventure platforming with intricate melee combat, Overgrowth achieves a unique feel. Overgrowth also benefits from Wolfire's brand new Phoenix Engine which has been built from the ground up to allow the use of cutting edge graphics, animation, and physics. Add to these exciting features Overgrowth's realistic artificial intelligence and streamlined control system and the result is an astoundingly immersive experience.
The rim lighting shader went a long way towards making the fur look soft when lit from behind, but it still looked hard when lit from the side. This problem is so prevalent in modern games that I've started referring to it as "plaster-hair syndrome" -- when hair or fur is sculpted with great detail, but lit as if carved from plaster.
Posted by jeffr on Oct 20th, 2009
The rim lighting shader went a long way towards making the fur look soft when lit from behind, but it still looked hard when lit from the side. This problem is so prevalent in modern games that I've started referring to it as "plaster-hair syndrome" -- when hair or fur is sculpted with great detail, but lit as if carved from plaster. This lighting problem is visible on the rabbit's chest here:
What we're missing is a form of subsurface scattering. Fur is translucent, so no individual clump of hair should be opaque enough to produce such sharp shadows. Aubrey and I had discussed a technique for painting soft fur earlier -- blending the fur with multiple blurred copies of itself. This softens the lighting without losing the tiny surface details. If that works for paintings, why not apply that to the normal maps and see if it works in 3D? On the left is the original normal map, followed by two blurred copies, and then the final composite. The final composite is made by taking the original normal map, and layering both of the blurred copies on top at 50% opacity.
By assigning different weights to the blurred normal map copies, we can control how soft we want the fur to look. Here we have three different versions, from hard to soft. If you click to zoom in, you can see that even the softest option still has the fur detail intact.
So does this solve our problem with plaster fur? Let's see how it looks when it's all put together! On the left is the original image from the start of this post, and on the right is the softened version.
Here's the same scene lit from above.
I think that the softened normal maps really help solve the 'plaster' look, and it achieves that with no effect on framerate! It's always nice when we can make Overgrowth look better without using any extra computational resources. Can you think of any examples of games that effectively render fur or hair without using powerful hardware? Some of the most inspirational to me have been Shadow of the Colossus and Final Fantasy XII. (permalink)

Nice work on everything you guys, are you also working on gameplay or is this just an engine? because i would realy like to see some gameplay prototyping work
I think it will come when they start developing the gameplay more, but they've written about it earlier. And had a fighting prototype in the engine earlier.
You're trying to be smart, don't you?
Its NOT "flashes", its their "how-we-do-stuff" posts.
It may be well known to those who specialise in that field, but as a mapper, writer, concept artist and project planner, alot of these tricks are new to me, its still interesting to know how most things in new technology works even though i dont specialise in it =]
Nope, it's called PR-Whoring ;)
It looks amazing.
Well if you spend as long on designing fun gameplay, as you have on shader tweaks, you might be on to something. I'll keep my eye on Overgrowth
They've already proven they know fun gameplay, go look at Lugaru or even Black Shades, there's lasting appeal I don't see in a lot of other places.
Black Shades was a game by Wolfire? Man, even though that game was extremely simple, it was fun as hell.
looks a lot more natural! good work!
There's a great article online of the making of SotC, was surprised to see how much they seemed to work with LightWave.
Other games? I'd say Peter Jackson's King Kong did a really nice job on the fur effects without crippling performance, I think it scaled pretty well from low end to high end systems too.
Is that a bit of cancer keeping the rope on his shoulders down?
I think it's fur.
Good work again. As always!
When I think of fur rendering, I immediately tend to think of "Conker - Live & Reloaded" on the original Xbox. Considering the age of that particular hardware, Conker's fur and that of his enemies was really impressive and ran very well performance-wise. Easily one of the Xbox's most advanced titles in terms of graphics. I'd like to see a similar method used in Overgrowth, because the blurred normals might look better than the original rendering, but they're still way too flat to actually look like fur.
You know what would be EPIC! Animating them- just a small amount.. just enough to notice that the fur moves slightly due to small wind.
I think due to how close up you'll be getting in the game if you were able to notice those little details of fur actually moving around on a texture, it'd just bring everything to life a lot more. That said it could be a bit of a challenge.
I think you'd get more of a feeling that its fur if it moved just a small bit- at the moment it looks more like Rock due to how static it is. Just a suggestion.
that said though, it looks amazing.
i agree with this, im guessing it will be third person so most other characters you wont realy get very upclose and personal with, however the player character should have this kind of detail, animated fur =] im totally with this
If only games companies bothered with fixing small annoyances as much as you guys do...
Have you guys considered implementing the fur shader? At least for the tails or something. That could look really good.
The fur shader is absolutely horrible when working with realistic themes. The only times it worked effectively was in cartoony games such as conker. I say don't use the shader just for the sake of it. Unless it looks like Hair Shaders from Maya or Max, just don't bother.
Hmm, this is an interesting issue to tackle. The softening definitely makes a significant difference, and hopefully you'll find a solution to make fur stand out from the body slightly if possible. Either way, great work!

On any given day in San Antonio, there are hundreds of children waiting to be adopted.
We caught up with four siblings at the San Antonio Zoo, where three sisters and one brother are looking for a mother and father to complete their family.
The oldest, 7-year-old Damonte, likes sports and wants to be a police officer. Sister Krianne, a smiling 6-year-old, likes to help out around the house.
Cheyenne is a creative 5-year-old who likes to draw and eat sweets. And 3-year-old Journey likes to sing, dance and play house.
Their Child Protective Services caseworker says the agency is looking for a family who will adopt the siblings together because they are each others' best friends.
They only know each other. They are all each other has had throughout this case, and it would be horrible to separate them , say Angela Sepuvelda, a CPS caseworker.
This active foursome will give a lucky couple a richer, fuller life and give the children a chance for a stable family.
The Wells family comes with a lot of help. CPS provides support, training and counseling every step of the way, and years after a forever family is forged.

Stats for 1984 USO SF (Lendl-Cash)
Lendl d Cash 3-6 6-3 6-4 6-7(5) 7-6(4)
Lendl was 24, Cash 19.
Lendl was the #2 seed, Cash was seeded 15.
Cash upset the #4 seed, Wilander, in the QF.
my stats:
Cash had 37 non service winners: 5 fh, 4 bh, 8 fhv, 15 bhv, 5 ov
Lendl had 36: 21 fh, 10 bh, 2 fhv, 1 bhv, 2 ov
Winners by set:
Cash: 8, 3, 5, 11, 10
Lendl: 4, 3, 4, 13, 12
Lendl had 7 aces, 5 doubles
Cash had 9 aces, 5 doubles
Cash was 92 of 163 on 1st serves, or 56%
Lendl was 85 of 162, or 52%
Cash had 51 unreturned serves, of which I judged 7 to be service winners
Lendl had 42 unreturned serves, of which I judged 7 to be service winners
Cash was 3 of 10 on break points, Lendl 4 of 10.
Lendl had 26 passing shot winners, 18 of them forehands
Cash had 1 passing shot winner, a forehand
At 4-5 in the 5th, Lendl had a match point on Cash's serve, & made a return error.
Cash held for 5-5, broke for 6-5 & had a match point on his serve. He made a 1st serve on that point but Lendl saved match point with a great running forehand lob.
CBS stats:
at 2-1 in the 5th, they had Lendl making 17 unforced errors, Cash 41.
Net pts at 1-0 in the 5th: Lendl was 7/8, Cash was 58/92.
here is an excerpt from SI on the match:
without having seen it, i tought it was a great match... but reading this, it seems that it was a choking contest !
Some notes of my own on the match.
Lendl played 9 semifinals at the U.S. Open and lost only in 1991, to Stefan Edberg. The remaining ones took him to 8 straight U.S. Open finals from 1982-89. His defeated SF opponents were McEnroe, Arias, Cash, Connors twice, Edberg once, and Agassi two years in a row. He defeated them all in straight sets, except for the four-set wins against Agassi and this match against Cash. Had Cash won his match point, he would have prevented Lendl's record run of consecutive USO finals.
I had never heard about any kind of controversy associated with the match and its result; I had always simply heard that it was a great match. But Cash may have been cheated of an ace that would have given him a second match point, on his serve, at 6-5 in the fifth. He was close to being enraged when his hard serve down the middle was called wide. He went on to lose the game on a rare miss off his backhand volley, a stroke that also failed him once during the tiebreak and again on the last point of the match. He was clearly still thinking about the call. He had shouted at the center service linesman upon losing his serve, clearly blaming the man for losing his chance to win.
CBS did not replay the serve, so it's not easy to tell. But slowing it down by 7x on my DVD, the serve does appear like it could have landed wide. So I don't think you can say that Cash was truly robbed of the match; the call was too close to say that. Even if he had been, he indisputably let his emotions get the better of him, and could not get the call out of his mind. He seemed afterwards no longer to be in the same efficient and deadly state of mind.
Lendl's behavior was a great contrast, even compared against Lendl's own general record. At one point in the second set, I think, he got a clearly bad call at the baseline. He took his time in thinking up a protest. Then he approached the chair and said that this was the second bad call from this linesman; he offered that Cash had gotten a bad call, too, and that keeping the linesman in the match would cause trouble one way or the other. It was golden behavior for Lendl, and maybe the most diplomatic and fair-minded protest I've ever seen from a player.
True, the stakes were nothing compared to the Cash controversy. But the contrast in temperament is worth mentioning, all the same – particularly because late in the fifth set, Lendl did again protest a call with great calmness.
The announcers noted that Lendl was more confident since his French Open win. Newk said he had never seen Lendl so emotionally fired up as in the final tiebreak.
Cash looks as good in this match as he did in 1987 in most respects, though I don't think his forehand volley was as good as in his Wimbledon victory.
He choked, I think, at break point on Lendl's serve at 5-6 in the fourth set; Lendl did nothing really special to hold then. Lendl, at that point, was having his own problems on the mental side of the equation: the announcers thought that he was affected by the crowd's turning against him.
Some stats:
Each of the first three sets had only one break, which is a testament to the quality of play. The fourth set had no breaks (though perhaps Cash should have broken Lendl at 5-6). The fifth opened with two consecutive service breaks and closed the same way.
From his opening service game of the match, Lendl held serve 19 consecutive times through the end of the fourth set. The only higher previous streak I know of is Wilander's 20 straight holds against McEnroe in St. Louis – a match in which the absence of tiebreaks made for long sets in which you had to sustain your level of play, or else lose the set. This was different: Lendl sustained his level even immediately after the first, second, and third sets were over, playing with great consistency throughout. He finally lost his serve to open the fifth, throwing in two double-faults and looking, for the moment, genuinely vulnerable.
The winners of these matches never lost serve, all had longer streaks than 20:
Sampras d Korda, '97 Wimbledon 6-4 6-3 6-7(10) 6-7(1) 6-4
Becker d Stich, '93 Wimbledon 7-5 6-7(5) 6-7(5) 6-2 6-4
Becker d Pioline, '95 Wimbledon 6-3 6-1 6-7(6) 6-7(10) 9-7
Agassi d Martin, '99 US Open Final 6-4 6-7(5) 6-7(2) 6-3 6-2
Sampras d Agassi, '01 US Open QF
I didn't do net stats, but the unreturned serve numbers by set I think shows how more agressive he was in the sets he won:
11, 5, 8, 14, 13
Actually, Moose, now that you're bringing it up I found some old notes in which I did have a previous streak longer than Wilander's. Curren defeated Connors at the 1983 Wimbledon without losing his serve -- 21 straight holds (I haven't seen that one).
But that was on grass unlike Lendl's streak. On the other hand, it was against the best returner in the game.
So they have Pioline winning no break points, but Becker was actually broken for the first time after holding once in the fifth set (and 21 straight times).
Strangely they also have Becker saving 0 of 4 break points rather than 4 of 4.
I remember your old thread on this record (service streaks); I'll re-open it.
I'm still bitter because all I've ever seen of this match is the highlight of Lendl saving match point with a lob.
I was 11 years old and Lendl was my favorite player at the time, solely by virtue of having beaten McEnroe (whom I couldn't stand) at the French Open earlier that year.
That semi final day was probably the greatest day I had ever lived to that point. I had set my alarm for the wee hours of the morning and was still in the same spot hours and hours later. What a fantastic day of tennis.
I heard tell that after this match, Cash went to the locker room and destroyed every racquet he had.
Lendl Cash
Lendl's lob against Cash that day is still burned into my memory :(
Cash really should have won that match....if only he were a tad more consistent that day....
Well, he got his revenge against Ivan in '87, I suppose!
here are some more stats
Cash won 70 of 93 pts on 1st serve(75%)
He won 36 of 70 on 2nd serve(51%)
13 of the 50 return errors he drew were on 2nd serve
1 of his 9 aces was a 2nd serve
He made 1st serves of 5 of the 10 break points he faced(including down match point at 4-5 in the 5th)
He was 95 of 150 at net(63%)
Lendl won 69 of 86 pts on 1st serve(80%)
He won 43 of 76 on 2nd serve(56.5%)
14 of the 44 return errors he drew were on 2nd serve
He made 1st serves on 2 of the 10 break points he faced
He was 11 of 14 at net
By the time of Cash being 'robbed' of that ace, I imagine he was a bit on edge by the many questionable calls that both players had received & probably thought any close call was the wrong one at that point. The umpire didn't overrule once in this match.
This was when saturday was truly super
It is amazing Lendl's record of 8 consecutive finals at a major
Probably only the Renshaw in the 19 th century can match it
Mac reached Dallas finals 6 consecutive years, also unbelievable
Lendl had 9 straight years in the Masters final.
i saw an interview where Lendl said that he actually had the wrong grip when he hit the forehand lob to save matchpoint. said he got very lucky to win that match.
Lendl was 65% on first serve (32/49) and 51% on second (29/57).
Cash was 52% on first serve (25/48 ) and 43% on second (22/51).
41 straight service holds by Charlie Pasarell to open his match against Pancho Gonzalez, 1969 Wimbledon, R128
Pancho himself opened with 22 straight and closed with 30 straight
22 by Hoad to open his US Pro final at Cleveland against Gonzalez in 1958
(Pancho had at least 17 himself, possibly 22 if he was unbroken in the fifth set)
21 by Schroeder to open the 1949 US final against Pancho Gonzalez
20 by Doeg to close the 1930 US final against Shields
20 by Gorman in a win over Laver in a 1971 Wimbledon quarterfinal (unbroken)
20 by McEnroe in a win over Alexander on grass in a 1979 Davis Cup semifinal (unbroken)
And one for the women:
19 by Margaret Osborne Dupont against Louis Brough Clapp to finish the 1948 US final (score was 4-6, 6-4, 15-13)
Since 1984 data is much more abundant, and I know of many service streaks higher than Lendl's.
The alltime record must by 85 straight holds by Isner and Mahut each.
Roddick held 37 straight times against Federer in the 2009 Wimbledon final.
Anyone know what Karlovic's best single-match marks might be?
We tend to think of service streaks as something that alltime great servers put together. But such records often have as much to do with the poor quality of returning, as the Isner-Mahut and Gonzalez-Pasarell matches show.
Each man served 39 service games, FWIW.
Stepanek might actually have a longer service streak than Karlovic, which reinforces the point that service records have a lot to do with the quality of returning. The match was on red clay yet Karlovic could only break once in 39 attempts.
Stepanek breaking only twice in 39 attempts is a totally different story, since Karlovic is unbreakable on any surface.
Cash served on 163 points and 60 serves did not come back: 36.8%
In their Wimbledon final Cash held an even larger lead (49% to 27%).

Like Steel from a furnace, I was born landless
from Rage Against the Machine – Calm Like a Bomb Lyrics on Genius
Steel is a metaphor for de la Rocha mixed ethnicity, as it is an alloy created from iron and carbon. Because of his chicano, german and irish ancestry, he does not have any sort of "land" to claim his own.
ACCEPTED COMMENT: Could also mean that he was "forged in the fire", so to speak.

it's a shame you haven't added any screens of movie of this demo because now i don't know what i get should i decide to download it.
The Long Escape - first release available soon (I hope)!
Posted by TECMEC on Mar 27th, 2012
Hi there, the demo version of the first level of the game which I want to develop is currently await for approval.
The game title will be "The long Escape" and the plot line will be the seguent: you will impersonate Malcom, a man lost in his own dreams! Malcom wake up in a messy cellar with five doors and the primary objective will be very simple: ESCAPE at all costs!
I take the concept from an old and terrible 3dgame of the 90s called Soultrap (who remebers it?)...
Every time he go through one of his nightmare/dreams, he will retourns in the cellar until he will find the real exit and will solve the dream-quest of his inconscious!
For the moment this demo contains only the initial level, so I want to share it to know if it works correctly, if the textures are ok, if the phisics works, etc...
In the future, when I'll complete the various levels, I will put videos, dialogues and more interactive objects too. And voice acting too!
Please try this demo, I need to know if is too slow for computers or not, if everything works...
NOTE: I'm NOT a programmer, I'm NOT a modeler, I'm NOT a developer, I'm NOT an expert of graphic engines... I'm only a graphic with videogame passion! And, that's worst, I'm italian too!!!! Help me!!! :DThanks to all!
it's a shame you haven't added any screens of movie of this demo because now i don't know what i get should i decide to download it.
no problem, the game engine is fpsc anyway, and the demo is only a room with every objects, lightmaps etc. But is only this room because I need to know if it works before going ahead with the mapping! :)
I don't added any images or similar because of my upload problem crash, so I can upload files only from office and obviously my boss isn't glad of it..........
Now I have uploaded two screenshots

The Heroes of Nentir Vale
H1 - Keep on the Shadowfell
The shadows of evil are stirring. Near the sleepy town of Winterhaven, a ruined keep overlooks a dormant gateway to the otherworldly realm known as the Shadowfell. Though this dark scar on the world has lain dormant for many years, an evil cleric of Orcus, Demon Prince of the Undead, seek to reopen the gate. The only thing preventing the forces of darkness from sweeping across the land is a determined band of heroes…
Information in these write ups may seems a little sparse at times but that is just because I am running this campaign from adventure modules published by WOTC. If there are any questions please refer to those modules.
H1-1 – The Kobold Menace
The party finds their way to Winterhaven and then sets out to deal with the kobolds once and for all.

Julian Casablancas: Phrazes for the Young
The lead singer of The Strokes will release his debut album sometime shortly, however the cover art has already emerged. It pays tribute to the iconic dog and gramophone image, best known today as the logo for various music companies, including Casablancas' label RCA.
I'd always just assumed that the image had originated as a logo, perhaps because the owner of the company loved dogs or some such. However, the dog in question actually existed. His name was Nipper.
Nipper earned his name because he always tried to bite visitors on the leg, which makes him sound like exactly the kind of horrid little pencil-sharperner I hate encountering in other's homes. But there must have been something really special about this dog because after the death of his owner Mark Henry Barraud in 1887 his brothers Philip and Francis continued to care for him.
Francis was an artist and not only did he inherit the little dog, he also took ownership of a cylinder phonograph and recordings of his late brother's voice. When he played the recordings, he was taken by the way Nipper would look around and wonder where his old owner's voice was coming from.
It inspired the painting "His Late Master's Voiceâ€.
It would later be changed to "His Master's Voice†so that consumers weren't made to feel too maudlin upon viewing it.
The painting became a logo and icon largely because Barraud himself recognised its commercial potential. He originally pitched it to the Edison Bell company but they thought it was a ridiculous notion that a dog would listen to a phonograph. However the Gramaphone Company ultimately purchased it for 100 pounds sterling after some modification.
Soon their US Partner Victor Records were using a simplified drawing as their logo and reminding consumers to "Look for the dogâ€.
By that time Nipper had past away, having been buried in 1895 in a beautiful park surrounded by Magnolia trees. And when the park was eventually built upon, a plaque was placed on the resulting building to commemorate Nipper's resting place.
This pales in comparison to his ongoing status as the mascot for the HMV Group, the most impressive evidence of which is the four-ton Nipper that sits on a building in Albany, New York.
And the Nipper stained glass window.
Not only has this diminutive dog garnered enough large-scale public tributes to satisfy a third world despot, he's inspired generations of impersonators and posthumously fathered a puppy called Chipper.
And now on the cover of Phrazes for the Young he sits intently at the feet of Casablancas, who seems blissfully unaware that he's the second most famous guy in the photo.

The nipper story is great, i remember researching it once before for some dissertation. The album cover is quite nice, i like the way the dogs attention has changed from gramophone to Julian, a pastiche of the original representation.
I dislike the album cover quite a bit. But the story about Nipper is interesting.
Good story, thanks! But there's also a lot more going on in the Phrazes For The Young sleeve, for example check out the Guitar Hero -style fretboard of the guitar… Fun!
i like this sleeve alot but the floorboards look large and out of scale … or is Casablancas tiny?
seems like casablancas new defining the picture of nipper is trying to suggerate to be the new master. the dog is not looking anymore into the grammaphone as origin of the master´s voice but looking up to the artist. ok, why not…

Now, we can argue that Disney expects to make up that loss in food and merchandise sales but it appears that this just isn't happening. I think we would be naive to believe that Disney doesn't track how much it costs them to service every guest in the park, regardless of if that guest paid full admission or not. The very presence of a person in the park costs Disney money and if that guest isn't spending enough on food and merchandise to offset that cost then it's a loss.
It seems safe to assume that the admission price covers the cost to service that guest during a full day at the park. This assumption would then lead me to believe that everything that guest spends in the park is mostly profit. However, with the APer Disney not only has to account for the initial cost of servicing that guest but then they have to find a way to make a profit off that guest. Like christianAdam already stated, it just doesn't seem to be happening and the entire concept is upside down.

DOS Broadcast & Appraisal Service Completes Initial Review and Update of ValCom (vlco.pk) Video and Music Library Appraisal
ANNISTON, Ala., Nov 16, 2012 (eTeligis.com via COMTEX) A spokesperson for DOS Broadcasting and Appraisal Service today announced that DOS completed a 90 day engagement at ValCom's (vlco.pk)New Jersey headquarters. ValCom had contracted with DOS, in July of this year, to review and update their initial Library appraisal of April 2011. As part of this review and update DOS was given full unfettered access to all files and records which had not been made available to DOS by former management under the original 2011 contract.
As part of the recent engagement DOS also received full access to documents related to the Music Library. DOS has reviewed ownership documents to the Music Library and concluded that ValCom has clear title to the collection of songs and recordings. The collection consists of: -4135 Tracks/Songs -2,085 individual Songs -79 Publishing Company Contracts -289 Artists Furthermore, in an ongoing effort Copyright attorneys, working for DOS in New York and California, are continuing to perfect ownership and to register titles with the appropriate agencies.
During the review, assets which had not been included in the original appraisal for the Video Library were located and over 175 additional copyrights have been registered by DOS on ValCom's behalf. DOS is continuing to examine the archives for other materials on which ValCom may have a claim.
DOS has determined that the chain of title on certain components of the Video Library is not as represented to DOS by the former CEO of ValCom, Vince Vellardita in 2011. In these instances further research is being conducted by DOS to verify the correct chain of title on the items in question and will continue to issue updates to the Board.
ValCom has engaged DOS to continue research on both the Video and Music Library documentation and copyrights. DOS recently presented a report to the Board of Directors on its New Jersey engagement with specific recommendations on how to exploit, monetize and protect the assets of the company.
Disclaimer: DOS Broadcast & Appraisal Service is a full service Intellectual Property Appraisal firm and is responsible for the content of this release. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

In an essay for the Kauffman Foundation, business administration professor Toby Stuart described his research examining how the social and business networks in which would-be entrepreneurs and early-stage firms are immersed influence entrepreneurial processes and outcomes.
Adam Coomes is a prime example of an entrepreneur who has seen the best of times and the worst of times. He has been a part of several startups and has gone through the peaks and valleys of these experiences. They've consisted of fast-paced ventures and ventures that have been put on the backburner. He has never worked in the corporate world and never intends to. Adam will always be an entrepreneur.
"Raising capital in the Midwest is a lot different than raising on the coasts," said Kurt Brenkus, CEO of Wisconsin-based Aver Informatics. "We had to hit the streets making the rounds with angel investors."
Adam Berk had a vision of creating an online library where neighbors could borrow tools and electronics from one another. Why buy a fancy camera you only needed to use once for a big trip? Why invest the money in physical tools for a home remodeling project if you are never going to need them again? Adam and his best friend Dave spent 5 years creating this utopian community, neighborrow, powered by a new form of currency. Their business model was to eventually white label the product and sell it to large apartment buildings and others who wanted to facilitate a borrowing community. But they never achieved their vision.
Today I am opening the APEC Start-Up Accelerator Leadership Summit here in Taipei. The summit is challenging 30 startups along with 200 top executives and officials from the APEC region to re-think past assumptions about how the public and private sectors can collaborate to build sustainable startup ecosystems in the region.

Members of Congress are back in their home states and districts for the August recess. They are scheduled to return on Monday, September 9.
While elected officials have long extolled the virtues of the small business and its powers of job creation, more attention has been paid recently to the age of firms instead of the size. But what happens when you mix the two and look at the smallest new startups? That is where the real growth happens. Since the late 1970s, new companies with 1 – 4 employees accounted for 86% of new firms. During roughly that same time period, startups with 1-4 employees have created more than 1 million jobs per year while those with 5 – 9 employees have created 500,000 per year. The figures come from the latest Business Dynamics Statistics report from the Kauffman Foundation.

Scribe (ER)
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Medical scribe. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2015.
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (August 2008)
An ER scribe works in the emergency department (ED) of a hospital. Their duties may include overseeing the documentation of each patient's visit to the ED and acting as the physician's personal assistant. A scribe works with one physician per shift and is generally assigned as that physician's personal scribe (often working regularly with the same physician), although they may work for multiple doctors.
A prospective scribe is required to learn a large and extensive amount of medical terminology, as well as become familiar with human anatomy. Each program has their own training regimen and some are more structured than others. For example, some programs require that all new scribes take an official graded course prior to working which includes extensive knowledge. Other programs allow the scribe to start in the ED immediately, but only under supervision which is sometimes referred to as bedside training, that is gradually reduced. Training is extremely intensive and lasts from as little as three shifts, to about one month under the direct supervision of an experienced scribe.
The first scribe programs were based in Reno, Nevada. In 1995 Dr. Elliott Trotter, M.D., a physician practicing in Fort Worth, Texas discovered the Nevada program and decided to start a program at Harris Methodist Hospital. The program has grown larger and spawned "copy" programs in several other cities. Some of these programs have retained the original program paradigm, while others have elected to create their own from scratch, using the original as a template. Technology advances have seen the introduction of "portable tablets" within some hospitals thus reducing the risk of error in scribe transcription.
There are a few programs, however, that have expanded beyond the original model and its core subjects, including more pertinent and up to date information. Even fewer programs have included advanced training levels beyond the basic training received by all scribes. These programs utilize standardized tests to certify scribes as being adequately prepared to work in a clinical environment. They also include periodic updates to keep the programs on the "leading edge" of medicine.
For each patient seen in the ED, a scribe will:
- Accompany the physician into the exam room
- Document the history of the patient's present illness
- Document the Review-of-Systems (ROS) and physical examination
- Enter vital signs and keep track of lab values
- Look up pertinent past medical records
- Keep track of and enter the results of imaging studies
- Prioritize the physician's time by bringing critical lab results to his/her attention
- Type progress notes
- Enter the patient's discharge plan and any prescriptions
Scribe positions are often filled by college students pursuing careers in medicine, with some organizations providing assistance with college fees. Many of those college undergraduates plan to attend medical school to earn their MD or DO degrees.[citation needed] A smaller number plan on becoming a physician assistant (PA). Pre-health students benefit from the experience they gain working in the emergency department. These students are also able to build relationships with medical practitioners who are usually willing to write letters of recommendation for professional school applications on the students' behalf. Some scribe organizations have opted to not hire college students pursuing medical careers, due to the subsequent high rate of attrition. Also, due to this relationship between the doctor, scribe and professional school applications, some scribe programs limit the positions to seniors of undergraduate programs.
Currently there are a number of scribe providers in the United States.

Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2
Any news of Examu apologizing for this bad port? They going to re-release it ?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
Either a cleaner version on PS2 or on a next gen like PS3 or Xbox360?
Hamsters: Sandwich meat of the future.
nah, they are already making good sales from the PS2 version.
plus look:
it's very playable and fun even for a port.
I dunno its up to EXAMU, but it will take the whole Japanese fanbase to have them re-release it on a next-gen console, but I think it would be awesome if they release it on Xbox Live Arcade.
besides you'd imagine after all the testing they done, they wouldn't have released it if they felt the lag was that bad, it probably shows they didn't care about it since only certain characters have noticeable lag than others.
examu are full of jerks
Hamsters: Sandwich meat of the future.
I never expected the port to be like this.......Nobody did.
As bad as it is, I think some people do blow it kinda outta proportion. It IS a bad port, but it isn't unplayable either. I have no problem preforming in real matches, and the only things that truly lag a match are Petra, and finishing the match with just about any super.
That being said, Examu are still a bunch of chumps for not making this port half of what it could've been (come on, no sound test? Even the first one had that). :/
"Scatter Everything. Ougi Jouha Messhouen! Disappear in the flames of darkness." ~Lion, Tales of Destiny
I couldn't beat the game because the boss kept using her special powers to lag the game and not read my inputs.
Ps2 can't handle the bad programming.
http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4318/sadhurtzeldarw8.jpg http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/1761/sadhurtzeldaburnbh0.jpg
the slowdown/lag from the first video was not gamebreaking at all. maybe to competitive-level
players, but just for fun, Id still buy this game.
I have the game already... and it's terrible... seriously, anyone who wants to play this should download a good arcade emulator and get a rom of the arcade version... the freakin' lag and the sprites which turn into piles of pixels make this game barely playable...
If you want a good 2D fighting game, get Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core +, Sengoku Basara X, KOF'98: Ultimate Match, KOF'02: Unlimited Match or Samurai Shodown Anthology, and forget about this crappy port...
...my mother is darkness...my father is murk...my beloved is death...
you need a good PC to run that kinda emulator, and I hate PC gaming.
anyways I seen all the videos, lag and all and I would still buy it. some people I talked to even said it's very playable, just not recommended for
serious competition, which is okay cause I just play these for fun.
anyways none of those fighting games can substitute the awesomeness of Suggoi arcana heart 2.

Albiol is also enjoying preseason under new coach Jose Mourinho.
He said: "Canales and Pedro Leon are working very hard. They are young, talented and motivated and they want to prove that they can play here.
"We love having them because they are good team-mates aside from being good players. We must all contribute because it's going to be a long and difficult season.
"The coach is organising the squad in a manner that allows us to improve and accomplish our goals. We will welcome any player who comes with open arms because he will be here to contribute to what promises to be an exciting season.
"We must all stick together to accomplish our goals. Training sessions have been very demanding and intense. It's all for the best."

Supermodel Naomi Campbell – who has a history of allegedly smacking around her help – is designing her own clothing line.
Campbell revealed her collaboration with Brazilian clothing label 284 in Sao Paulo, Brazil last week.
284 is exclusively sold in the high-end boutique Daslu.
Campbell says her ideas are based on vintage clothes from her closet. Hopefully, not the housekeeper's uniform.

He graduated from Westminster School, Simsbury, Conn., in 1942 and Princeton University in 1947, following three years of service in the Navy. He was an Aviation Cadet and never lost his love of planes and flying.

For ALS, a Houston-based team with MDA funding is investigating whether a combination drug treatment (Licofelone + Riluzole) works better than the first FDA-approved drug for ALS, riluzole. Another group of MDA-sponsored investigators in Quebec City, Canada is looking for the earliest visible signs of ALS. Finally, a San Diego team supported by MDA is using next-generation gene sequencing technology to better understand what makes ALS-causing mutations in two genes (TDP-43 + FUS/TUS) so crucial to the ALS disease process.
With tens of millions of Americans affected by type 2 diabetes and 30 percent of FA patients developing diabetes, a new MDA-funded project in Philadelphia to determine the exact mechanisms by which diabetes occurs in FA also could shed valuable insights into the causes of insulin resistance seen in people with type 2 diabetes.
Other exciting initiatives by MDA-funded investigators include the Minneapolis-based effort to identify inhibitors of the DUX4 gene implicated in FSHD, and to quickly test promising compounds in a transgenic mouse model for that disease; and, a Miami-based effort

Gusty Winds Expected
By Associated Press
Oklahoma City, OK – Wind to come sweeping down the Plains
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Oklahoma will live up to its reputation of being a windy state.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for 29 counties in northern and western Oklahoma through Wednesday night.
Forecasters say winds of 25 to 35 mph could gust as high as 50 mph in the Oklahoma Panhandle and 40 mph elsewhere.
The weather service says the winds may toss loose objects around and create hazardous driving conditions in the advisory area.
Blowing dust may lower visibility to less than a mile in the Panhandle.

The Pitman High varsity softball team continues to thrive.
The Turlock Christian High softball team was coming off not only their best postseason performance, but arguably the best season in nearly a decade after winning a playoff game by a margin of 12 runs. But on Thursday, the Eagles' hot bats ended.
In his first two at-bats, Pitman High baseball captain Matt Carrigg struck out twice before exceeding all expectations in his final plate appearance of the game.
The Turlock Christian High varsity softball team is moving on to the semifinal game of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division VII after pulling off the 17-5 upset mercy rule win over the #2 seed in Vacaville Christian on Tuesday afternoon at the Arnaiz Softball Complex in Stockton.
Cody Cornell (7-0), pitched six innings, allowed only three runs on four hits and Marcus Lopez retired the final three outs as the Turlock High Bulldogs defeated Bear Creek, 11-5, at home on Monday in the first round of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division I Tournament.
Pitman High varsity diver Natasha Sondeno is used to diving into any challenge, whether it's in and out of the pool.
Heading towards the end of the Turlock National Little League 2015 season, each team without a postseason spot is battling it out for an opportunity to play an extra game or perhaps finish atop the standings when the year ends.
The 2015 season is just days from concluding and the playoffs are right around the corner for local Little League majors and minors players from the Turlock American League.
Adam Groesbeck flourished in baseball as a Turlock High Bulldog after he led the team in batting average (.392) during his senior season in 2013 and since then the sky has been the limit at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The 2015 regular season concluded on Wednesday for local high school softball teams and Pitman (20-6) ended their year with the best regular season record and as the first softball team in school history to reach 20 wins after defeating cross town rivals, Turlock High, 13-0.
Local golfers represented their schools well at CIF Sac-Joaquin Divisional Tournaments on Monday, with Turlock Christian placing third in the Division VI tournament and Turlock High taking fourth in Division I competition. Hilmar's Landon Azevedo, Turlock's Logan Adams and Turlock Christian High's Logun Lundquist will all advance to the Master's level after notching qualifying scores in their respective tournaments.
Monday marked the start of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs for local high school tennis teams that included Delhi, Denair, Pitman and Turlock High. All but Turlock fell in the opening round after the Bulldogs edged out the visiting Folsom Bulldogs, 6-3, on Tuesday in a comeback victory.
Denair High tennis head coach Bill Weber has his sights set on a long and prosperous future the Coyote program and he is off to a good start. After Friday's Southern Athletic League tournament, Denair can boast two league winners in the mixed doubles and the boys singles brackets.
A local face will be taking over the Denair High School football head coaching duties.
The Turlock High Bulldogs boys' tennis team sent two squads into the semifinal round of Thursday's Central California doubles tournament that was hosted in Atwater High.
All year long the Yankees have dominated the Turlock American Little League Majors with their deep pitching and explosive offense but when the playoffs started back on May 19, they were upset in a 5-6 loss to the Angels which was only their second loss all year long.
After a rocky collegiate start, the leading strikeout pitcher in Pitman High softball history seems to finally have things going her way.
Austin Bush is no regular baseball player.
The Turlock Seadogs summer swimming program opened up the new season with a near deficit this past weekend at the Tracy Invitational.
The 18-year-old Stanislaus Cardinals Babe Ruth baseball team ended its season with an early run in the Pacific Southwest Regional Tournament. With the help of a pool of talented players from local schools including Turlock, Pitman and Hilmar High, the team is shaping up well and looking to surpass last season's success and eventually make the World Series.
Pitman High track and field head coach Thad Moren said the Pride has had one goal in mind since finishing the last league meet in April. That goal was to put all the season's hard work into a top showing at last week's CIF Sac-Joaquin Division I Section finals.
The Turlock National Little League Majors have their champion and it's a name baseball fans expect to see in the winners column -the Giants.
Most high school athletes hope to find a college willing to offer them an athletic scholarship, but very few are chosen-especially twice.
The 2015 season was one that the Pitman High varsity baseball team can feel proud about.
There is going to be a local face at the Modesto Junior College football sideline this upcoming season.
The members of the Pitman High softball team held their heads high on Monday afternoon.
The Pitman High Pride were coming off a clutch one-run victory over Gregori last week and looked to continue their playoff streak as they had their eyes set on the quarterfinal match on Monday against a familiar foe from the Modesto Metro Conference-Beyer High.

From the Publisher"This is a beautifully illustrated book…which is both informative and entertaining." (The Catalyst, October 2004)
"This book may give you cause to brag about your knowledge…" (Chemist, April 2004)
"Yes, Virginia, chemistry can be funny and Greenberg has given us a masterful presentation. This book is recommended for academic and public library collections (and should be read by all chemistry majors)." (E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 3)
"...a truly fascinating survey and inquiry...very highly recommended..." (Library Bookwatch, January 2003)
"...The Art of Chemistry is well written and peppered with Greenberg's witty comments...The more of the book I read, the more I kept on wanting to read..." (Nature, 20 February 2003)
"...a companion to Arthur Greenberg's earlier book...again he offers us a selection from his unique collection of historical material. If you enjoyed the earlier book, which I did, you will enjoy this as well...lavishly illustrated...well written and peppered with...witty comments and cynical asides..." (Nature, Vol. 421, February 20, 2003)
..."If you want to be diverted and occasionally surprised, enquire within..."(Chemistry in Britain, March 2003)
"...The book is certainly entertaining, both visually and intellectually..." (The Alchemist – ChemWeb, 2 April 2003)
"...recommended..." (Library Journal Reviews, March 15, 2003)
"...Arthur Greenberg leads us on an eclectic and very personal romp…in 72 short essays accompanied by nearly 200 illustrations…we follow an erratic but fascinating route through the history of chemistry..." (New Scientist, February 1, 2003)
"...a rousing sequel to A Chemical History Tour...this large-format work packs in even more visual treats while romping through chemical history..." (Bulletin for the History of Chemistry, 2002)
Mentioned with another title Transmutations: "...explores how artists and scientists have depicted the principles, practitioners, and apparatus of chemistry...an episodic and very idiosyncratic history of chemistry..." (American Heritage of Invention & Technology, Spring 2003)
"...suitable as a gift for either a chemist or a...student...or as a reference book for a chemistry teacher...a useful visual compendium…captures the joy of collecting chemical images..." (Journal of Chemical Education, June 2003)
"...a very interesting mix of information...an interesting treatise on one facet of scientific progress." (Science Books & Films, June 2003)
"...The book has an undoubted charm". (Times Higher Educational Supplement, 4 July 2003)
"....It has been a pleasure to read this book and then browse extensively through it. It is not only a read for ancients like me, it could also inspire more young people to believe that chemistry makes and interesting life's work and study..." (Chemistry & Industry, 21 July 2003)
"...highly entertaining and informative..." (The Chemist, Summer 2003)
"...the reader follows the author...with interest and pleasure...due not only to the clever way in which this immense amount of historical material has been arranged, but also to his talent as a storyteller. To learn something important in a short time and in an amusing way-what more could one wish for?" (Angewandte Chemie, International Edition, Vol. 42)
"...there is material here in plenty for the chemist and bibliophile as well as for the 'amiable historian'...Idiosyncratic, self-indulgent, and even corny, Greenberg believes chemistry to be fun. It is much to be hoped that The Art of Chemistry like A Chemical History Tour, will find its way into school and college...and encourage a new generation of students to laugh all the way to the lab." (Chemical Heritage, Vol. 21, No. 3, Fall 2003)
"Greenberg's book should be in every library...available not only to chemists but to anybody who is interested in the history of science...it should find an honored place on the coffee table of every chemist.... The author is to be congratulated having painstakingly researched and lucidly written this fascinating book..." (Synthesis and Reactivity in Inorganic and Metal-Organic Chemistry, Vol. 33, No. 9)
"Although the primary reason for buying this book is its artistic content and artwork, the forward motion to explain the transformation of myths, superstitions, and their application to the arts and medicine into modern science as we know it will captivate readers." (Clinical Chemistry, Vol. 49, No. 12)
