Something happened in early 2011 that hasn't happened in decades, perhaps centuries - and we didn't even notice it. That is, we didn't see it for what it was. Massive unrest from Tunisia to Egypt to Libya rocked the Arab world and threw the globe into political crisis. Within days, an earthquake-tsunami-nuclear calamity of terrifying proportions shocked Japan and sent the world reeling once again, even as the globe's financial markets shuddered to sustain themselves while states and nations tottered on the brink of bankruptcy - where many still linger. All of this, of course, we did notice. What we may have missed was that ancient predictions for this period of time called for exactly this: simultaneous environmental, political, and financial disasters. Were we seeing the beginning of 'the end of history' - and not picking up the signal? In his prescient new book "The Storm Before The Calm", seven-time "New York Times" bestselling author Neale Donald Walsch offers a startling answer: yes. But Walsch also says there is nothing to fear, advancing an extraordinary explanation for what is happening even now all over the planet.Then - and more importantly - he provides a stunning prescription for healing our lives and our world through the answering of seven simple questions, inviting people everywhere to join in an earth-saving exchange on his website. Compelling and perfectly timed, "The Storm Before The Calm" answers every question that is worth asking about December 2012 and beyond.
With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale Donald Walsch spent the majority of his life thriving professionally, yet searching for spiritual meaning before beginning his now-famous Conversation with God series. These books have been translated into 37 languages, touching millions and inspiring important changes in people's day-to-day lives. Seven of his 27 books have reached the New York Times bestsellers list.

Why would people rather give their money to EB/Gamestop than to developers?

-Damien- posted...If you buy used, not a single cent goes to the developers or Sony.
I dont know exactly but if it's divided between these parties: developers, Sony, retailers (EB/Gamestop).
I think developers would get somewhere between 50-60%. Sony would get like 10-15%. Retailers (EB/Gamestop) would get somewhere 30-35%.
For used-games, all that money goes to EB/Gamestop
Why would I want even a dime to go to the Developers of such games as Brink, RE: ORC, Kane & Lynch 2: DD, and all the other trash that gets made by certain Developers with low scruples.
When its a game that I know will be good then I always buy new.
If its a game that is actually good then fewer people trade them in, which means that more people have to buy new.
It is usually the crap & mediocre games that get traded in a lot.
So why should the developers of such games be rewarded ?

Probably less than 10%.

tmons78 posted...-Damien- posted...If you buy used, not a single cent goes to the developers or Sony.
Protip: The developers and publishers have already been paid before the game you're buying was even on the shelf.
My spell check just had a mental breakdown...
-Damien- posted...
tmons78 posted...-Damien- posted...If you buy used, not a single cent goes to the developers or Sony.
The money from a new game purchase goes mainly to the retailer (EB/Gamestop) to recoup the price of purchasing the copy from the publisher, plus profit (minimal). Then, the remainder goes mainly to the publisher. It does not go to the developer. The developer has already been paid for creating the game through the contract they signed with the publisher. So even buying new, you are paying the retailer first, the publisher second, and not the developer at all.
Used games do go into the "pockets" of the retailer, but that money is then put to other use besides pure profit. Expansion of the business, employee wages, monthly finances (rent, utilities of stores, etc.) and then profit.
The whole "If you don't want it traded in, make a better game" logic is completely flawed. The only ways to keep people from trading in games is to make a universally perfect game (which isn't possible) or pay people to keep them, or restrict resell via DRM. You cannot name a single game ever made that hasn't been traded in or resold by the thousands, regardless of the quality of the game.

Because they're ignorant and can't add. They actually think they're saving money.
Someone will buy a brand new game on day 1 for $60. Beat it in a week and trade it back in for $30. GameStop sells that same game to someone else for $55 and the original guy buys someone elses just released used copy for $55. Wow I just saved myself $5!!! Duhrhurrrr!
And then the cycle repeats itself.
GameStop is ripping off the industry, but more importantly they are ripping off the gamers, their own customer base, but they're just too ignorant to realize it.

First of all, an anti Gamestop topic? These are getting old as it is. Anyone crying and complaining about how much they take for trade ins, and how much they sell back for, clearly have no concept of how a pawn shop operates and makes their money. If you're going to complain about it, don't go there. It's none of your business to tell people what to do with their games. Anyone who willingly goes there should know exactly what they're getting into. This is why the "jokes" about the show Pawn Stars are so incredibly unfunny. The way the customer act on the show is either scripted, or they have no concept of how a pawn shop operates either.
Second, I would hope that most people buying used, aren't buying at the $5 cheaper on games that recently came out.
Third, I only buy used when the game is down to below $20, or the game has gone out of print and I can't find it for a good price new. When a game goes to a red case I look for the older version new, or just buy it used as well. (and if you have a problem with that, I don't care. If you want to attack me on this preference, you'll be on ignore).

Devs dont get money from used or new sales, publishers do. And secondly, I really dont care who gets the money because well, why should I?

Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo hopes the pre-match handshake with QPR doesn't turn ugly.
Blues skipper John Terry faces an FA charge of racially abusing R's defender Anton Ferdinand during a match at Loftus Road last October.
All eyes will be on them and their team-mates today.
Chelsea boss Di Matteo said: "I will speak to my players and, from our point of view, there are no issues.
"Our players are fine. They are respecting the rules and we're going to go ahead with the pre-match handshakes.
"It's something that shows respect to the opposition and is a rule we all have to respect.
"The Premier League is a global brand watched all over the world and players do have a responsibility. They are role models and children watch them.
"The majority of them have good, high standards and understand that, with the high media exposure we have these days, they need to act responsibly in front of the TV cameras."

DFA: Chinese ships 'going back and forth' in Panatag Shoal
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Chinese ships regularly come and go within Philippine territorial waters, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Monday.
DFA spokesman, Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez, told reporters in a media briefing that "Chinese ships are back in Bajo de Masinloc (Panatag Shoal), they go back and forth in that area."
Hernandez revealed this when asked to comment about a statement by Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin last Friday that "as far as the last air patrol we conducted, they (Chinese ships) were no longer in Panatag Shoal. There was inclement weather there."
The last patrol was on June 27, Gazmin had said.
Bajo de Masinloc has been a part of a territorial dispute between China and the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.
"Our position remains that Bajo de Masinloc is an integral part of Philippine territory, and China should respect our maritime entitlements in that area," Hernandez said.
"[China has] been intruding in that area for some time now and those reports of Chinese ships leaving and coming back have been [a part of regular] reports," he said.
Chinese ships also come and go in Ayungin Shoal (Second Thomas Shoal), which is part of the Spratly's Group of Islands near Palawan.
"No reports of goings on in Ayungin Shoal, [Chinese ships] come and go also in that area," Hernandez said.
The Philippines has filed diplomatic protests for the intrusion of China into Philippine waters before the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Seas (Unclos) and before the Chinese embassy in the country.
"What we have been doing is asking China to respect our maritime entitlements, we have been doing some consultations with them [and] we have undertaken our legal initiatives," Hernandez said.

I never really took notice in Desecresy until the recent surge of interest in old school Finnish death metal. Formed from the ashes of the equally excellent Slugathor, Desecresy continues their chaotic onslaught, with The Doom Skeptron being their second full length release.
And The Doom Skeptron hits the listener like a fucking juggernaut, making this album, this band sound like a worthy follow up to what Slugathor had created before. Sure, the influences from other classic Finnish legends such as Depravity and Convulse are rather clear, but the dark and suffocating atmosphere and trem-picked riffs with the crushing guitar tones are all rather reminiscent of bands like Incantation. In particular, the buildup on the intro of songs like Forged from Chaos easily remind one of bands like Witchrist and Ignivomous. Apart from the rhythmic section that help to emanate that sinister mood, the lead guitar lines of Tommi also help to reinforce that haunting overtone in the music, and while speed and flamboyance are not of particular importance here, the lead guitar lines easily send a chill down the listener's back. These also often help to build the climax in the track, before allowing all hell to break loose on the listener.
The ominous growl of the bass also help in creating a fuller sound on the record, further intensifying the already crushing impact of The Doom Skeptron, especially on tracks like The Sceptre of Damnation, with the band displaying their doom influences in full glory. In fact, the bass lines are one of the more interesting things on the album, at times even providing an odd, contrasting sense of calm despite the tension that it provides to the songs, like on Vortex Unwinding.
The band's chemistry is also evident, with the tightness that the duo display in the execution of their brand of crushing old school death metal, like on that percussive segment on songs like The Sleep of Titans. The Doom Skeptron often moves at an excruciatingly slow pace, and even with double bass pedals abound, the songs progress rather slowly, allowing for the full weight of Desecresy's art to sink into the listener, making short tracks like The Sceptre of Damnation feel like an eternity, let alone the album closer, the 7-minute The Solemn End.
For a deeply unsettling listening experience, Desecrsy's The Doom Skeptron is certainly recommended, being one that will please fans of classic Finnish old school death metal as well.
As most of the modern death metal bands are letting the classic influences behind their back, there are many musical groups around the world that cant live without these classic influences and they cant record any music without reflecting these influences within the structure of the songs, one of these groups is the Finnish death metal band Desecresy.
Desecresy has presented the great debut album "Arches of Entropy" before two years, and there are a lot of death metal fans around the world kept their attention toward their second album, and now the band is back with the great full-length album "The Doom Skeptron". As the Finnish extreme metal scene is thriving with a lot of amazing bands in the last decade, the death metal movement misses the classic sound and the taste of the old school death metal because most of the death metal bands there are wearing the dress of melodic death and the melodic death/power numerously. Desecresy is proving for all the old school death metal bands around the world that Finland can also wear the dress of pure death metal with this amazing release.
The Doom Skeptron contains eight tracks full of real pure and classic death metal flavor, some of the tracks are flowing slow riffs and numbing drumming (like the track "The Solemn End), and some tracks like "Declined Resplendence" and "Burial Adorations" are sending shivers of blast-beating drums and killer bass-line to the spine of every listener. Many interesting elements have been placed into this record to make it look genuine and breathtaking, one of these elements is the gorgeous balance between the roughness of the melodies and the dynamics of the mastering, the tracks like "The Sleep of Titans" and "Vortex Unwinding" are great example for this glamorous balance.
The vocals of this album are deeply influenced by the old school death metal movement, and the bass-lines are vital enough to overtake the sledgehammer sound of the distorted guitars that capture most of the final atmosphere. I would recommend this album for all the fans who love the pure death metal music that doesn't need so much progressiveness and melodies to sound perfect, and I would also recommend this album for all those who are into the modern old school death metal movement that tries to restore the original death metal sound of the early 90s.
Overall, this album is a solid piece of classicism and intensity, if you are ready to put a lot of killer death metal riffs inside your ears then you have to get a copy for this album right now. I will be keeping my eyes on this band for the future, and I hope they will record more genuine and hammering riffs in the next releases.
Originally written for:
Arches of Entropy, the debut Desecresy offering, seemed to show a band that had a bit of growing to do before they could be welcomed into the grimy tomb that houses Finland's elite old school death metal bands. What's more with Ascended and later Krypts and Corpsessed around, I might not have given it as much attention as it needed to unlock the morbid treasures disguised by the repetitive pacing and somewhat skewed vocal volume.
No matter though, the sophomore The Doom Skeptron knows no such inhibitor as it boasts a suitably booming and filthy resonance from the very get go. All the nihilistic, wailing dissonance of the initial wave of demos from Abhorrence, Amorphis, Depravity, Convulse and Purtenance is here, plus the more forceful weight boasted by later proponents like Lie in Ruins and this band's forebear Slugathor.
There's more of a grave-born destructive nature to this album, which piles thumping, bestial death metal onto the atmospheric opening of 'Forged From Chaos' before we even get a sample of the whining Finnish leads we all signed up for. 'Declined Resplendence' and 'Sons of the Burning God' are as bestial and filthy in their charging openings as Archgoat or Dead Congregation, before the tracks gradually slow into more grooving, booming territory. Throughout the album, Desecresy are more wont to burst into faster paced sections than before, with cuts like 'Burial Adorations' hurtling up a gear midway and giving this beast a few more spikes to its thick armour. The twosome supply a heavier, more Cruciamentum-esque bottom end to this recording, with a chunky bass line and crushing drums typical of the rotten renaissance of Finnish death metal. It's pure, nasty bliss in the many rollicking slow sections, which compel a serious-natured head nodding at almost all times.
However, whine those leads do, a miasma of eerie guitar melodies unfurling like decayed wings over the rhythmic pulse that keeps the album shambling forward at its still mostly creeping pace. Standouts might include 'The Sleep of Titans', which truly sounds like the soundtrack to a ritual unfettering ancient beings from centuries prone. It's all black and white and grainy and evil. They might also include 'The Sceptre of Damnation', just under three minutes of rolling drums and malevolent leads that seems more of a connecting track than a song in and of itself. Really, the whole thing melds together pretty nicely, and songs like this do it a favour. If you like the first 30 seconds, you'll dig this album.
But on top of that guarantee, you'll get a lot out of it on repeated listens, given its far denser nature as compared to the previous Desecresy album, and indeed probably a bit of compositional edge over most of the other bands doing this sound right now - these are one of the olskool revival type bands you should be checking out. The Doom Skeptron puts Desecresy out ahead with Corpsessed, Krypts, Lie in Ruins and reformed elders like Purtenance and Convulse, as well as the band's own split-up forefathers Slugathor. Why, I think the Finnish death metal underground is pretty much back where I want it.

"Despise not prophecies. But prove all things; hold fast that which is good." --1 Thessalonians 5:20
From time to time on a Catholic blog or Facebook post someone will make reference to the prophetic utterance or alleged message from some saint, seer, or sage.
Almost always in discussions about prophecy, whether old or new, somebody will correctly state that even approved private revelation is not binding on us and nobody is ever obligated to believe in it.
So the question is, why bother with it at all?
In order to answer the question, I think it is important to understand its purpose. Why does God provide for such heavenly communication? Why bother telling us such things about the...READ MORE

Sources now saying no plans for Apple buyout of Waze
updated 04:20 pm EST, Thu January 3, 2013
'No deal' in near future
An Apple buyout of Waze isn't happening "now or anytime soon," sources now tell TechCrunch. The news rebuts earlier claims from multiple outlets, including one by TechCrunch itself that suggested Waze was hoping for a $750 million pricetag. Apple, by contrast, is only said to have been willing to spend $400 million plus another $100 million in incentives.
The new report speculates that Apple and Waze may have talked about a deal, but only in the sense that major corporations regularly talk with smaller businesses about possible acquisitions. The two parties are already closely involved. Waze is supplying some data for iOS 6 Maps, while Apple promotes the official Waze iOS app as a Maps alternative at the App Store.

change relative locations. Solids may be formed from molecules, or they may be extended structures with repeating subunits (e.g., crystals). The changes of state that occur with variations in temperature or pressure can be described and predicted using these models of matter. (Boundary: Predictions here are qualitative, not quantitative.)
By the end of grade 12. Each atom has a charged substructure consisting of a nucleus, which is made of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. The periodic table orders elements horizontally by the number of protons in the atom's nucleus and places those with similar chemical properties in columns. The repeating patterns of this table reflect patterns of outer electron states. The structure and interactions of matter at the bulk scale are determined by electrical forces within and between atoms. Stable forms of matter are those in which the electric and magnetic field energy is minimized. A stable molecule has less energy, by an amount known as the binding energy, than the same set of atoms separated; one must provide at least this energy in order to take the molecule apart.
How do substances combine or change (react) to make new substances? How does one characterize and explain these reactions and make predictions about them?
Many substances react chemically with other substances to form new substances with different properties. This change in properties results from the ways in which atoms from the original substances are combined and rearranged in the new substances. However, the total number of each type of atom is conserved (does not change) in any chemical process, and thus mass does not change either. The property of conservation can be used, along with knowledge of the chemical properties of particular elements, to describe and predict the outcomes of reactions. Changes in matter in which the molecules do not change, but their positions and their motion relative to each other do change also occur (e.g., the forming of a solution,
Understanding chemical reactions and the properties of elements is essential not only to the physical sciences but also is foundational knowledge for the life sciences and the earth and space sciences.

Some are wrong. Like when you say "Nadal get to Nole legs" That hasnt happened, will not happen. Rafa is the one doing most of the running because Nole is dominating the rallies.
Djok won most of the rallies with 10 shots or more. That means he not only defends better but also Nadal has nothing to hurt Djok with. How can get to his legs then?
Do you remember any points in the match that Nadal was able to break Novak Backhand? maybe NONE.
Yeah...I'm not sure where this came from, but Nole has proven himself to be an iron man over the last 2+ years. Have we already forgotten his grinding, epic slam clashes against the very Nadal who needs to get to his legs. 5:53 (I believe) in Oz. So is Nadal's best hope to be able to extend and push the match past the 6 hour mark?
That one confused me a little.
The rest, I generally agree with. Return-of-serve, Rafa's backhand - those two things were on full display yesterday.
At this point, Nole's best trumps Rafa's best - typically though, you don't play your best all the time, there are lapses. One of Rafa's trademarks is consistency - he needs to keep grinding and try to maintain that consistency so when Nole's level dips, he can capitalize. At this point, even on clay, I think Rafa is in the same boat as everyone else - they have to grind away and hope for something less than Djoker's best. However, Rafa on clay probably doesn't need nearly as much less as most players do.
If Djokovic serves as well as he did yesterday, he will be very, very difficult to beat.

WEST CHESTER, Ohio, June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AtriCure, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRC), a medical device company and a leader in cardiac surgical ablation systems, today announced that its minimally invasive platform was highlighted during Cardiostim, a world congress in cardiac electrophysiology and cardiac techniques. On June 18, Dr. Kenneth Ellenbogen, Vice Chairman of Cardiology and Director of Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology and Pacing at the Medical College of Virginia, chaired a symposium entitled "The Epicardial Frontier: Minimally Invasive Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation."
The session focused on the current indications and investigation of the AtriCure minimally invasive platform as a treatment alternative for atrial fibrillation, or AF. Dr. Vigneshwar Kasirajan, a leading cardiothoracic surgeon and colleague of Dr. Ellenbogen, presented their patient selection criteria and patient results. Dr. Wim Jan van Boven, a leading European cardiothoracic surgeon, presented his experience utilizing the AtriCure minimally invasive platform to perform 125 totally thoracoscopic ablation procedures. In this impressive totally thoracoscopic series, the procedure times reported were routinely 60 minutes and patients were discharged from the hospital in two days or less. Additionally, Dr. Warren Jackman, a pioneer in arrhythmia research, presented the importance of electrophysiology mapping during surgical ablation and the expanding role of this minimally invasive platform as a treatment alternative for chronic AF patients.

Which teams looked great this spring? Which ones reloaded, rebuilt, and looked surprisingly sharp? Which ones struggled a bit and need more time and more practice time? These are the CFN Post-Spring Rankings based on where we think the teams are going to finish up when all is said and done. Part of the rankings are based on talent and potential, and part of them are based on schedules and what the teams might do. Coming later this summer are the CFN 2012 Rankings based on how good the teams are.
10. Wisconsin
(2011 Record: 11-3, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 10-2)
Here's the little secret that Wisconsin doesn't like to talk about over the last two Rose Bowl years: the schedules have been really, really soft. Oh sure, there's a blowout over Nebraska here and a steamroll over Penn State there, but for the most part the Badgers haven't exactly had to deal with the SEC West. The same goes for this season in what should be yet another terrific run to the Big Ten championship game – helped by Ohio State being ineligible.
Going to Oregon State sounds dangerous, but it's not, and while Utah State is an interesting test, it shouldn't be a problem for Bucky before starting out the Big Ten season at Nebraska. The other road games are against Purdue, Indiana, and Penn State – the Badgers will be big favorites in all three games. Michigan State and Ohio State both have to come to Madison.
The offseason addition of QB Danny O'Brien will fill the giant hole left by Russell Wilson, and Mifflin Street Block Party tickets aside, Montee Ball will still be a front-runner for the Heisman working behind a line that has two possible first-round 2013 NFL draft picks in Ricky Wagner and Travis Frederick. The defense needs some retooling, but the linebacking combination of Mike Taylor and Chris Borland should be among the best in college football.
9. Florida State
(2011 Record: 9-4, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 10-2)
Will this finally be the year Florida State lives up to its talent level and its billing? There aren't many excuses thanks to a defense that should be among the best the program has had since its national title-level days with only three players gone off the two-deep depth chart. Quarterback E.J. Manuel has elite skills, and if he can take a step up in his production to make up for the weak running game the offense will do enough to get by; it won't take that many points to let the defense take care of the rest. On Thursday, November 8th the Seminoles have to go to Virginia Tech and should be the underdog for the only time all season. Going to NC State won't be easy, the South Florida away game is a landmine, and road trips to Miami are always entertaining, but the schedule is manageable even with five road games in seven weeks. Florida and Clemson have to come to Tallahassee.
8. Georgia
(2011 Record: 10-4, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 9-3)
The Bulldogs are loaded. The lines are going to be terrific, the skill players are fantastic, and Aaron Murray could be the best quarterback in the SEC if a few breaks go his way. There are superior playmakers on a strong defense led by LB Jarvis Jones and safety Baracci Rambo – even with his off-the-field issues – to be able to hang around with any team on the slate, but can the Dawgs get through the road games?
The home schedule should be a relative breeze with the Georgia Tech game by far the most dangerous to worry about, and while Mark Richt has traditionally been able to get his teams up for road games he'll have some concerns this year. Georgia is better than Missouri, but it'll be the first SEC game in Columbia and the Faurot Field crowd will be jacked up. Going to South Carolina is bad enough, but it'll be followed up by the Don't-Call-It-A Cocktail Party game against Florida. The Auburn trip will also be nasty meaning it wouldn't be a shocker if Georgia lost three of their five games away from home. They'll beat Kentucky in Lexington, though.
7. South Carolina
(2011 Record: 11-2, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 9-3)
Will there be a more dangerous set of pass rushers in America than Devin Taylor and Jadeveon Clowney? Throw in the great set of linebackers and a secondary that should be fine without CB Stephon Gilmore, and the Gamecock defense should be devastating. The hope is for the offense to get back Marcus Lattimore at 100% to carry the running game, while Connor Shaw – if he can hang on to the starting quarterback job – should be steadier and should be able to wing the ball around the yard a bit more. While the team should be at least as good as it was last year, it's going to be a fight to get through another interesting schedule.
Not only is there a midseason stretch of three road games in four weeks, but the last two games are on the road at LSU and Florida after hosting Georgia. Throw in the home dates against Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee along with the end-of-the-year road trip to Clemson and there are more than enough landmines to worry about at least a three-loss season. However, if the Gamecocks can hold serve at home they should be in for a tremendous year.
(2011 Record: 10-2, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 10-2)
USC will be everyone's hot team going into the preseason rankings because it's eligible to play for something again, but it's a whole different world once the pressure is on. After years of treading water, what will happen under Lane Kiffin when it becomes Pac-12 title or bust? There might be not be a better starting 22, but the depth is a bit thin. The D line needs some reworking and it's never a positive to lose a left tackle as good as Matt Kalil, but there's talent across the board. No, the problem will be when the team has to take everyone's best shot week after week.
There won't be problems against Syracuse, California, or Colorado, but the Trojans are going to be on the road for four games in five weeks during the first half of the season including a scary date against a Utah team that should be good enough to challenge for the Pac-12 title. While the home schedule eases up, they also have to deal with Oregon, Arizona State, UCLA, and Notre Dame over the second half of the season. Don't forget that as good as last year's team was, it was blown out by Arizona State late and had to fight with bad Minnesota and Arizona teams. This will be a great USC team that should at worst end up in a BCS game, but that still could mean another 10-2 record.
5. Texas
(2011 Record: 8-5, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 10-2)
Texas should finally be back to being Texas again because of a wee bit of an improvement on offense. The defense will be its same old dominant self after very, very quietly finishing 11th in the nation. The secondary is loaded, the line is fantastic, and there are four-and-five-star athletes across the board, but it's the offense that'll make the big difference. Assuming David Ash really and truly is the main man at quarterback, the offense will be more consistent and should have a stronger running game to rely on. Yes, this is the year when Texas gets back on track, but it still might not be enough to get back in the national title chase. Nothing can be taken for granted after the last few seasons schedule-wise, but the Longhorns should be 3-0 against Wyoming, New Mexico, and at Ole Miss before diving into Big 12 play head first going to Oklahoma State, facing West Virginia, and trying to get past Oklahoma. Road games at Kansas, Texas Tech, and Kansas State aren't that bad, and if Texas is good enough to get past the early stretch unscathed, it'll be strong enough to blow up the back half of the slate without a problem.
Enough is enough. The defense that led the Big 12, and finished 11th in the nation despite playing in a conference loaded with top offenses, will be fantastic. It's deep, talented, and full of next-level playmakers even with tackle Kheeston Randall, MLB Keenan Robinson, and WLB Emmanuel Acho gone. End Jackson Jeffcoat should be in for a huge year, while Quandre Diggs and Carrington Byndom form a good corner tandem for a great secondary. And then there's the offense. David Ash is expected to take the starting quarterback job by the horns, but he'll have to fight to keep it. Malcolm Brown has the ability and potential to be the program's best back since Cedric Benson, while the receiving corps of Jaxon Shipley, Marquise Goodwin, and Mike Davis could be the best Texas has had in a decade. The O line that started four underclassmen should be a rock. The biggest loss might be clutch kicker Justin Tucker.
4. Alabama
(2011 Record: 12-1, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 10-2)
Alabama will be loaded again and it should be even stronger in the passing game, but can the running game continue to shine without Trent Richardson? Can the defense be the same sort of killer it was throughout last year without seven starters? Will the kicking game come through when it has to in the big games? Can the offense shine without offensive coordinator Jim McElwain? The answer to all of the above is probably a resounding yes, but that still might mean a really, really strong two-loss season.
The Tide has to go to Death Valley to deal with a loaded LSU – made worse with the Tigers getting two weeks off to rest up and prepare. While Bama will be better than everyone else on the schedule, there are four other landmines against Michigan (in Arlington, Texas), at Missouri, at Tennessee, and at Arkansas. Throw in the always-tough Auburn game and a home date with Texas A&M and there are just enough tough battles to assume a slip-up. 3. Oregon
(2011 Record: 12-2, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 11-1)
Everyone wants to pump up USC and assume it's going to roll through the Pac-12 now that it's eligible for the title, but Oregon still might be the league's most dangerous team. The machine won't stop just because QB Darron Thomas and RB LaMichael James are gone with more speed to burn in the offensive backfield and the Chip Kelly offense certain to be as strong as ever. The defense will be good enough to get by with Michael Clay one of the league's best linebackers and John Boyett a special safety. The schedule is a breeze until November. Consider it a shocker if any of the first eight teams on the schedule come within two touchdowns of the Ducks, and then comes the showdown in L.A. against USC to kick off a run of three road games in the final four. However, even with a loss to the Trojans Oregon should still go 11-1 and play for the Pac-12 title.
2. Oklahoma
(2011 Record: 10-3, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 11-1)
Every year it seems like everyone wants to push Oklahoma as a possible national title contender, and almost every year comes the disappointment from out the blue. Last year it was Texas Tech and the collapse against Baylor that ruined any hopes of a national title run before the Oklahoma State debacle. This year, though, the potential is there to be far more consistent and far more effective with QB Landry Jones leading a high-octane offense that should roll behind a great offensive line a receiving corps that should be fine - eventually - even with the recent suspensions. The running game will be a question mark, but Blake "Bulldozer" Bell should have a huge year and Jones should be good enough to pick up the slack. Defensive coordinator Mike Stoops should put the teeth back in the Sooner D that gets eight starters back.
If the Sooners play like they're supposed to they shouldn't have a problem at home against anyone who has to come to Norman including Kansas State, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma State, but Texas will be tougher and going to West Virginia and TCU late in the year will be battles. Even so, OU will be better than everyone on its schedule, and while it might slip once, that should be it.
(2011 Record: 13-1, 2012 Roughly Projected Record: 12-0)
If you liked the 2011 version of the Tigers, there's a chance you'll love the sequel even more with a killer of an offensive line paving the way for what should be the nation's most dominant running game. It might not put up the numbers of a Wisconsin or Navy, but the LSU front line is loaded with NFL talent and all the running backs return to bring wave after wave of big, strong pounders to wear down a defense.
The problem, though, is that the 2011 Tigers seemed to feed off the really big game-changing play to get energized, and when that didn't happen in the BCS championship, everything broke down. This year, the offense will generate more big plays down the field with QB Zach Mettenberger pushing the deep play down the field a bit more after the defenses are softened up by the killer ground attack. On the other side of the ball, Tyrann Mathieu and the defense should be dominant again even without DT Michael Brockers and CB Morris Claiborne. DE Sam Montgomery should be in the NFL right now, Barkevious Mingo will dominate on the other side, and the defensive tackle combination of Anthony "Freak" Johnson and Bennie Logan will be special.
The 2012 Tigers will be great, but they might not be quite as good across the board as they were last year. Fortunately the schedule will be far easier with Alabama coming to Death Valley and with no brutal Oregon-like non-conference games. Going to Arkansas could screw up the dream year in the regular-season finale, and going to Florida, Auburn, and Texas A&M will be challenging, but if everything goes according to plan the worst-case scenario could be 10-2.

10 years ago, in the town of Reedsville, a young boy named James heard a noise he thought it might be a UFO. The boy's stepfather told him there was no such thing. The stepfather was later attacked by a Visitor named Ryan Nichols, who was sent to kill him for betraying his own kind. The stepfather was able to elude capture that night. As he disappeared into the woods, Ryan yelled out to him, "You can't escape, John May!"
In present day, Erica and the others want to use John May's old communications device to contact Joshua. The plan is to coordinate a rescue effort for Georgie with Fifth Column members on the mothership. Ryan believes John May's stepson, James, may know where the device is located. Time for a road trip!
When the team arrives in Reedsville, Ryan tries to convince James May that his stepdad initiated the resistance against the Visitors. In another room, Erica and Hobbes have a chat with James's girlfriend, Grace, who just happens to be a V sleeper agent. She attacks Erica as claws jut from her fingertips. Hobbes grabs Grace from behind, snapping her neck. When James sees the claws on his dead girlfriend, he knows his houseguests are telling the truth. Looks like the Resistance just got a new recruit.
The team heads to storage unit and recovers John May's communications device. Unfortunately, Grace was able to send a distress signal to the Visitors. A deadly seeker sphere tracks them down, but Erica blows it away before it anyone is hurt. Once they are in the clear, Ryan contacts the mothership. Joshua promises to do whatever he can to save Georgie.
In an effort get information, the Visitors implant menacing little creatures called "scours" inside Georgie. The pain is unbearable as the scours rip through his insides, but it's not enough to make him betray his friends. Anna says, "Love is the greatest flaw of humans and our best tool to break them." She replays for Georgie the images of his family being killed by the V's. It's worse than any physical pain, but the only name Georgie gives up is Alex Morgan. It's what he was going to call his unborn daughter before she was killed by the V's.
James May always believed that his stepfather committed suicide. In truth, John May did leave a disingenuous suicide note while having a private conversation with Ryan in his study. It was during that chat that Ryan realized that he was beginning to experience human emotions. But, at the time, he thought it was too late to do anything about it. That's why Ryan killed John May.
Everyone is shocked to learn that John May is dead. Ryan is truly sorry for what he did. But he believes that every time Anna sees the message "John May Lives," it's like a dagger in her eye. The Fifth Column exists because of John May. He taught them what it feels like to be human. They must continue to fight in his name. And there can be no more lies.
Anna coordinates an interview session with Chad Decker to find candidates for the Visitor "Live Aboard Program." Chad realizes that every person Anna picked was full of potential that, for one reason or another, was never realized. He threatens to expose this little trend unless Anna can give him a bigger story. Chad seems to exhale in relief once Anna agrees that they'll continue to help each other in the future.
Joe calls Erica when he discovers that Lisa spent the night in his house. He says, "Tyler needs to know that I'm not his father." An eavesdropping Lisa breaks this tidbit to Tyler, who doesn't take it well. Erica tells Jack that doctors told them that Joe wasn't Tyler's father when they gave blood after their son's motorcycle accident. Erica knows the blood results were a mistake, but Joe never believed her. Now Tyler doesn't believe her either.
While cleaning up around the house, Valerie discovers a safe hidden behind a fake closet wall. The contents inside reveal all of the secrets he's been keeping from her. There's a gun along with dozens of fake passports. Valerie also finds two sets of x-rays. One shows the fetus of a human baby, the other is a picture of the baby growing inside of her, complete with reptilian scales.
Joshua contacts the team on the ground. He's with Georgie, who is barely alive. Ryan promises that they'll come for him, but Georgie says no. This fight is bigger than him now. He's made a decision. Georgie says, "I'm ready to see my family now." Upon Georgie's request, Joshua gives him a fatal injection. On the ground, Erica, Ryan, Jack and Hobbes know that their friend is now gone. They vow that his sacrifice will not be in vain.
Marcus tells Anna that Georgie is dead and that the "John May Lives" message seems to have created a groundswell with the Resistance. Anna says, "Let them have this one victory because I'm about to deliver them a thousand defeats." Her army is ready to be born.

Memorial Day events on tap for Oak Park, River Forest
Parade, remembrance ceremonies highlight day
By Marty Farmer
A Memorial Day commemoration at the Peace Triumphant statue in Scoville Park in Oak Park and River Forest's 89th annual Memorial Day Parade (10 a.m.) will be held Monday to honor the men and women who died while serving in the country's armed forces.
The event in Scoville Park, located at Lake Street and Oak Park Avenue, will begin at 9 a.m. and feature Vietnam veteran and Oak Park resident Brian Flora and his wife, Kay Kuhlman, portraying Union Army veteran Wilbur Fisk Crummer and his wife, Emma, who settled in Oak Park after the Civil War.
Flora retired to Oak Park with his wife after a 37-year overseas career with the U.S. Department of State.
As for the man Flora will portray Monday, Crummer enlisted as a private with the 45th Regiment of the Illinois Volunteer Infantry and was promoted for valor at the Battle of Shiloh. At 20, he was declared mortally wounded at the siege of Vicksburg, but he survived and later settled in Oak Park where he lived 57 years.
In Oak Park, Crummer served twice as commander of the local Chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic, the 400,000-strong national fraternal organization of Union veterans. That association created Memorial Day (initially called Decoration Day) to honor those killed during the Civil War.
The History Singers, John and Kathryn Atwood, will lead patriotic songs at Monday's gathering. Adorned in a Civil War uniform, bugler John Borland will tell the story behind "Taps" before performing a rendition of the solemn bugle call, which was written in 1862.
The base of the Peace Triumphant World War I monument in Scoville Park includes bronze tablets inscribed with the names of more than 2,400 Oak Park and River Forest veterans, including Ernest Hemingway, who served in World War I.
The Memorial Day service will also include a color guard and rifle salute from the Oak Park Police Department Honor Guard, an invocation from Pastor Emily Gage of Oak Park's Unity Temple and a benediction from Lead Pastor Cisco Cotto of Village Church of Oak Park.
State Sen. Don Harmon, Village President Anan Abu-Taleb and Virginia Cassin, chairwoman emerita of the Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park, will take part in Monday's ceremonies.
RF Parade kicks off at 10 a.m.
Presented by the River Forest Service Club, River Forest Parks Foundation, River Forest Park District and the village of River Forest, the 89th Annual Memorial Day Parade kicks off Monday at 10 a.m. from Constitution Park at Ashland Avenue and Greenfield Street, then moves south on Ashland Avenue to Lake Street, before heading west on Lake Street to Keystone Avenue, ending at Keystone Park.
The parade annually offers more than 100 entries, including the Oak Park and River Forest, Proviso East and Proviso West High School marching bands and the Chicago Dixieland Band, which plays patriotic music.
After the parade, an assortment of color guards, marching bands, scout troops and others will take part in a more somber observance at Keystone. A community picnic will follow with free hot dogs, chips and soda/water.
"It's one of our biggest events of the year and really brings our community together," said Karen Stille of the River Forest Park District. "It's a day to honor River Forest residents who are serving, who have served, and remembering those who have sacrificed their lives for our country. It's a somber event, but also an event to celebrate all the individuals who have fought for our freedom."

Really, Louise? Stop and think about it. Those veterans fought and maybe died so the children of our village could play in a public park and climb all over their names. My kids always ask what it is they're climbing on and it's a great teaching opportunity.

Perhaps we can encourage parents to stop their kids climbing on the memorial, standing on the names of those veterans who fought and may have died? I think this would show more respect year around rather than just Memorial Day.

Glad to see this is a news story rather than just a blog entry like last November's Veteran's Day commemoration.

Norwich — For the first time since May, figure skaters and hockey players will be able to lace up their skates and take the ice at the Norwich Municipal Ice Rink today.
The rink reopens at 2 p.m. after resolving mechanical problems that have shuttered the facility since May 6. A busy schedule is planned, rink Director Doug Roberts said Monday.
Figure skaters in training and their coaches will practice from 2 to 5:30 p.m. today. At 6 p.m., Southeastern Connecticut Youth Hockey will take the ice, and Roberts said there may be an open "stick time" after 8 p.m.
The rink will open early Wednesday, when a group of hockey players from Pfizer Inc. skate at 6 a.m. The Pfizer group will return Friday at 6 a.m. Roberts said the Pfizer group has been eager to get back on the ice and invited him to join them. Roberts played hockey at Connecticut College and played professionally in Europe.
"They've been checking in," Roberts said. "They want to know when they can get back at it."
The first public skates will be held Wednesday from 1 to 2:20 p.m., Friday from 1 to 2:20 p.m. and again from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Public skating will be held Saturday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 2:20 p.m.
Roberts said he would like to expand public skating at the rink, probably starting by expanding the weekend sessions to two hours.
"I just think the two-hour time slots are more doable for everybody," Roberts said. "Public skating is something we're very interested in."
Roberts said the pro shop will offer skate sharpening, and both the shop and the rink concession stand will be run by rink staff for now. Roberts said rink officials have to decide whether to lease them to outside vendors or continue running them in-house. The rink could bring in equipment from a larger pro shop in the region to sell on consignment as another option.
The rink has been plagued by mechanical problems since February, when an ammonia leak in the cooling system forced an emergency evacuation and closed the rink for a month. The repair lasted only until May 6, when another malfunction shut the aging 17-year-old system down.
The Ice Rink Authority worked with Trane to bring in a temporary outdoor chiller unit, but more problems with the ammonia brine delayed the reopening. Roberts said a new temporary heat exchanger with a glycol system was installed last week and worked immediately.
Rink Authority Chairman Francois "Pete" Desaulniers said he does not yet know what the extended shutdown and repairs cost the authority.
The rink has struggled financially for years and now owes the city more than $400,000 in subsidies and repair funds. The authority has pledged to repay the debt now that revenue is flowing again.
"That's the big thing now, bringing in revenue," Desaulniers said.
The authority will hold a special meeting tonight at 7 at the rink to discuss the shutdown, reopening and to begin planning for a permanent replacement to the rink's cooling system.

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Tuesday held joint and separate discussions with Indian Union Muslim League leader P.K. Kunhalikutty and Kerala Congress(M) leader K.M Mani on the proposed Cabinet reshuffle.
He initiated discussions after arriving here from Delhi this morning, in what is termed as the implementation of plan B to solve the problems in the Congress.
More discussions will be held with the two major partners in the next couple of days, prior to making it to the national capital possibly on Friday, depending on disposal of the Telangana issue.
Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president Ramesh Chennithala, who has stayed back in Delhi, was firm on his decision not to join the Chandy Cabinet.
His supporters alleged that another move was on to insult him by reviving certain proposals that had been given up.
The 'A' faction appeared to be keen on reviving the possibilities of deputy chief minister's post.
The Indian Union Muslim League promptly shot the proposal down.
Mr. Kunhalikutty, speaking to the media, maintained that his party had expressed his opinion on the issues affecting the Congress and the UDF. "We do not want a public debate on these issues whether positive or negative," he said.
When the deputy chief minister's post was first mooted, the IUML had made it clear that it was the second largest force in the UDF and, therefore, held the second slot in the pecking order. IUML ministers had held the post of deputy chief minister in the 1982-87 Karunakaran government.
The course of developments on Tuesday clearly indicated that induction of Mr. Chennithala into the Chandy Cabinet and some of the issues that the coalition partners have in the UDF scheme of things will be handled as a package.
Keywords: Kerala politics, Congress, Oommen Chandy, Ramesh Chennithala

Guns on boats...
No, I'm not trying to start another gun thread. Really... I've been looking at most of the major cruising, sailing, boating forums on the internet and guess what? They all contain arguments about guns on boats. Clearly there are two sides. My curiosity beckons why? Why do people seem so drawn to this topic? Why are they compelled to choose a side and then participate in the back and forth? Usually it all gets squashed by a moderator anyway, with some kind of a comment that sounds like..."Now, now children".
Is there another topic that creates such a riff between those who otherwise share so much in common?

Chile has been very successful in turning its natural resource endowments into a generator of growth and modernisation. However, its mining regions, including Antofagasta, face the challenge of developing a critically important primary sector in a manner that contributes to both economic growth and broader measures of well-being.

OECD conferences on urban, rural and regional development in OECD member countries.
An OECD report will explore how cities can mitigate the challenges of an ageing society and become sustainable for all generations.
The answer to the question "how's life?" may depend on what region you live in. Since factors that determine well-being can vary dramatically across the same country, national averages may not provide the full picture of how life is being lived in all regions. The OECD is compiling well-being indicators across regions to help improve local and regional policies.
Cities can generate growth and jobs while becoming greener – this is the message of the OECD's new Green Growth in Cities report. Drawing on case studies of Paris, Chicago, Kitakyushu and Stockholm, the report identifies green policies that can respond to urban growth priorities and suggests how to implement and finance them.
Ports are the nervous system of global trade. Over 80% of world cargo (by volume) is transported by sea. Our efforts to raise the efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability of ports can help boost trade, growth and jobs. It can also help us to promote green growth and development in the poorest regions, said OECD Secretary-General.
The OECD Urban Policy Review of Chile explores the structure and challenges of urban policy in Chile. It examines urban development frameworks and sector policies, and makes recommendations for revitalising Chile's urban governance architecture.
Brazil's economic growth has been supported in recent years by important government investment and social programmes that mobilise resources across the country. These programmes could help Brazil to meet its goals of sustaining economic growth and fostering social development, while reducing regional disparities.
The OECD review of Brazil explores regional trends and development in Brazil. It looks at how regional policies can promote growth and foster social inclusion, and the role of multi-level governance in implementing effective regional development policies.

Marking the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, an exhibit illustrating the role of Jefferson County in World War II opened at the Hiwan Homestead Museum on Friday.
Titled "We Can Do It: Jefferson County in World War II," the exhibit features a large aerial photo of the former Denver Ordnance Plant in Lakewood, where 22,000 employees of the Remington Arms Co. produced ammunition for the war effort in the 1940s.
After cleaning trash from Kittredge Community Park, residents had an opportunity to see the plan for park improvements on Saturday. Although wet snow that began falling about noon deterred some participants, a small group gathered under canopies to enjoy lunch and discuss the project.
Evergreen landscape architect Diane Schade contributed her services to design the plan, which features creative playground equipment for youngsters, including a covered sliding board structure and rotating rides.

ABC's "Extreme Weight Loss" coach Bruce Pitcher took a unique firefighter fitness challenge at Evergreen Fire/Rescue on Monday.
He passed with flying colors.
Pitcher finished up the tough, local challenge in 1:54 minutes, a few seconds under the cut-off time of 2 minutes considered "really good" by Evergreen Fire/Rescue volunteer firefighters.
The fire department-sponsored challenge on Monday was followed by a dinner, and Pitcher was the featured speaker.
A company is growing hemp plants in the greenhouses of the former Evergreen Nursery in Kittredge, and another company plans to soon.
People love growing tomatoes and peppers, says Kittredge gardener Tina Kellogg. However, at high altitudes such as Evergreen where the growing season is short, it's advisable to get a head start by starting seedlings indoors, she says.
Even short-season varieties of tomatoes need to be seedlings before they are transplanted into a garden, Kellogg explains.
Longtime Evergreen High School baseball dad Glenn Grise believes the game is a metaphor for life.
"If you think about it, baseball is a game of failure," he said. "They count your errors. Hitting the ball three times out of 10 is considered good. The thing is to stay positive through the adversity."
More than 100 decorated eggs were revealed in their oval-shaped glory at a kickoff party for the annual egg-decorating contest on Thursday, April 2, at Evergreen National Bank.
Evergreen resident Louise Mounsey is pleased that a sculpture honoring her and her late husband, Bill, will be installed at the Hiwan Homestead Museum this summer.
"I can hardly wait to get it to Hiwan," she said.
Mounsey was among a group of people gathered at Creekside Cellars on a recent Friday afternoon to celebrate the bronze sculpture, titled "Flowers for a Friend."
