A term that can refer to either games which feature 3D polygonal graphics but typically restrict gameplay and camera control to a 2D plane, or earlier games that attempted to simulate three-dimensional graphics without the use of 3D polygons.
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Games with stories that involve aliens invading the main character's home planet.
This concept occurs in many RPGs and Sci-Fi games. The Ancient Advanced Civilization Technology is often a giant weapon (Halo Rings, Giant of Babil, etc.) that becomes a major plot focus in the stories of these games.

Wedding Thank You!
Great format for putting pictures on the thank you cards. Lovely!
Love the design
I love the design and being able to change the colors so they went with our color scheme. The only thing I didn't really love was the paper. We went with the premium matte and it doesn't have a sheen or luster to it like the Italian paper. I think if I could do it over I'd use the shinier stuff. But overall loved MagnetStreet and their designs! Will be getting my favors and programs from them too!
excellent and beautiful card
Love it, it is perfect and the text fit perfectly. I would recommend it.
Very Please
You defenitley get your moneys worth. Very good product and quick turn around! Glad I chose MagnetStreet for my wedding!
Impressive design flexiblity and quick turn around time!
This was my third transaction with Magnet Street and I have to say that I've been impressed with everything that I've ordered. It's a shame that they don't offer more options for personalized favors. Our Save-A-Dates were lovely, the labels turn out perfect, and our Thank You cards are just so much more elegant than some of the other options we'd considered!

When Lee Berryhill took the softball head coaching job at East Webster, he didn't know a whole lot about the program.
In his first season, he has his slowpitch squad into the Class 2A playoffs.
The Lady Wolverines (19-4) host Bay Springs today at 5 p.m. in a best 2-out-of-3 series. All games will be played today.
The Ackerman High School volleyball team has played tough competition all season long.
Their schedule has set the Lady Indians up to be used to the type of teams they will play in the playoffs.
Ackerman (9-8) opens the playoffs at home today against Tishomingo County with the match scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.
Fresh off a 27-14 win over Kentucky the No. 19 Mississippi State Bulldogs are turning their attention to a talented group of Tennessee Volunteers who will be in Starkville on Saturday looking to ruin State's perfect 5-0 start to the 2012 campaign.
While the Vols enter with a 3-2 record, MSU head coach Dan Mullen is fully aware of just how dangerous Tennessee can be.
SCOOBA – The East Mississippi Community College defense deserved a round of applause, and head coach Buddy Stephens made sure that happened.
"Defense got the game ball," Stephens said. "We made the offense stand up and give a standing ovation because (the defense) did a great job."
There's nothing like a big play between two former Starkville Yellowjackets to give the East Mississippi Community College Lions the spark they needed on offense Saturday afternoon.
When quarterback Jaquez Johnson found Billy Shed for a 46-yard completion late in the third quarter, it set up the Lions for their first touchdown of the game.
The unbeaten Mississippi State Bulldogs carry a national ranking of No. 20 to Lexington, Ky., today facing their first Southeastern Conference road test of the season with the Kentucky Wildcats.
Kickoff is set for 11:21 a.m. for the SEC Network telecast that can be seen locally on WCBI.
Undefeated and undeterred are the No. 5 ranked East Mississippi Community College Lions.
At 5-0 overall and 2-0 overall, the Lions host Holmes Community College this afternoon in Scooba.
Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. and homecoming festivities will abound on the EMCC campus as the defending national champions look to chase down another title.
Defense wins championships, or so the saying goes.
On Friday night, the Yellowjacket defense played with tenacity shutting out the Ridgeland Titians in a 23-0 Class 5A, Region 2 win.
MCCOMB – It wasn't the type of night on the road the Starkville Academy Volunteers wanted to have during a 35-12 loss to Parklane Academy on Friday.
Parklane jumped out to a 14-3 halftime advantage and never took its foot off the gas pedal as it generated 401 yards of total offense against SA.
CRAWFORD – The East Oktibbeha Titans were hoping to match their last home victory over Ethel with another one on Friday night.
It didn't take the Titans long to find out that was going to be a difficult task.
The defending Class A State Champion Noxapater Tigers visited East Oktibbeha looking for their sixth-straight victory and left with that in hand after the 48-6 result.

Coca-Cola Sees 'Huge Opportunity' to Spur Per-Capita China Sales
Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Coca-Cola Co., the world's largest soft-drink maker, is investing in bottling plants and delivery trucks in China as it targets an increase in average per-person consumption from the current two drinks a month.
The maker of Sprite, China's best-selling soft drink, has a "huge opportunity from a per capita point of view" in China, Martin Jansen, regional director of the company's bottling business in China, Singapore and Malaysia, said in an interview on Sept. 3.
Coca-Cola plans to invest $4 billion with its Chinese bottling partners Swire Beverages Ltd. and COFCO Coca-Cola Beverage Co. in China over three years from 2012 to widen its lead over rival PepsiCo Inc. Most of that will be spent to build more bottling plants, buy trucks, expand distribution infrastructure and add coolers, said Jansen, who is responsible for 15 bottling facilities in China.
Sales will probably increase at a "high double-digit" rate in China this year and next, said Jansen. "If you compare the number of beverages we sell in China, it's roughly just over two per month. If you take a country like Mexico, they also drink two, but per day."
Jansen, a Dutch native, said the company will probably build factories in Sichuan province in southwestern China as well as expand capacity by adding more manufacturing lines. Plans to add bottling plants over the next three years are still being completed, he said.
The Coca-Cola system has more than 40 factories in China and employs more than 48,000 people, according to an Aug. 18 statement by the company.
Doubling Sales Volume
China sales surpassed 1 billion unit cases in the six months through June, double the rate of 2005, when it sold that amount for the whole year, the statement said. Each unit case has 24 eight-ounce servings.
Sales in the Pacific region increased 9 percent to $4.9 billion last year, according to Bloomberg data.
Coca-Cola, which said in June it was in talks with China's government to sell shares in Shanghai, is the dominant soda maker in China with 61.5 percent of the market last year, followed by Pepsi with 29 percent, according to London-based researcher Euromonitor International.
For soft drinks, a category that includes fruit and vegetable juice, ready-to-drink tea and bottled water, Coca-Cola is also No. 1 in China with a 16.8 percent market share, according to Euromonitor's data.

Upgraded 4 computers to Win8 and bought 2 Convertables
by Neonsafari - 1/25/13 11:34 PM
In Reply to: Just upgraded to Windows 8... by Doh_1
We are running six computers with Windows 8 and love it. It is fast and stable, and an excellent buy at $39 until the end of the month (online at microsoft.com) It works well with keyboard, mouse or touchscreen. The first machine was also our oldest desktop...one that HP had advised against as they hadn't tested 8 on it...it works extremely well...the after the very first start up of each program, it just flies along. The fastest browsing that I had ever gotten from this computer (a three year old first generation i7). I have also upgraded a four year old laptop with no problems, as well as two one year old desktops. Of course the two HP Envy x2's work perfectly and the touchscreen works well as well as the keyboard, touchpad or additional mouse if I connect it.
Windows 8 has been wonderful for us.

It just wouldn't be a charity event without some gorgeous supermodels, and tonight's amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Benefit Gala had plenty of eye candy.
Naomi Campbell arrived with her hunky beau Vladimire Doronin, looking absolutely fabulous in a strapless silver gown.
Drawing out quite the impressive guest list, the stars were out in full force for the Chopard 150th Anniversary Party at Palm Beach, Pointe Croisette on Monday night (May 17).
Leading the charge of celebrity arrivals were the Hilton family, as Paris and Nicky were joined by parents Rick and Kathy as well as brother Barron.
Keeping the celebrity-infused action going, the Cannes International Film Festival premiere of "Biutiful" had plenty of stars show up.
Javier Bardem and director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu looked chummy as they posed for the press outside the Palais des Festivals.
Making for quite the star-studded affair, the celebs were out in full force for the Vanity Fair/Gucci Party at Cannes Film Festival on Saturday night (May 15).
Held at the Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc, the evening's agenda was focused on one of Hollywood's most acclaimed directors - as Martin Scorsese was the night's honoree.
They've got a hit movie on their hands, and earlier today the cast of "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" attended the premiere at the 2010 Cannes International Film Festival.
Michael Douglas looked handsome as he made his way inside the Palais des Festivals sporting a classic black tuxedo.
Bringing out the biggest names in show business, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City was the place to be on Monday night (May 3).
Gracing the red carpet were cute couples such as Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Sienna Miller and Jude Law, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady and Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.
She's found quite a bit of success in her modeling career, but unfortunately for Naomi Campbell that's not all she's known for.
It's no secret that the British model is known for her violent outbursts against housekeepers, assistants, police officers and camera persons, but now she's opened up about it.
She's never been good at controlling her emotions, and during an interview with ABC News yesterday, Naomi Campbell had another violent outburst.
A friend of former Liberian president Charles Taylor, Campbell was asked about allegations that she received a massive "blood diamond" from the dictator and refused to testify in the court case against him.

Newberry: Mavs, Spurs still in the hunt for NBA's crown
The NBA celebrates the young, but then kills them at playoff time when mistakes are magnified.
On the other hand, the old and wily veterans are respected but kind of forgotten every time a new season comes around.
The teams in the middle with a blend of young legs and wise minds — Miami and Chicago — are supposed to take the title home this June.
But I wouldn't bet against one of the old guard from Texas being the team the Heat or Bulls have to get past in the NBA Finals.
The two Texas powers — the most consistently excellent franchises in the NBA since the turn of the century — are playing as well as anyone right now.
Spurs big man Tim Duncan has been the face of the franchise during that time, but he appeared to be on his last legs when the No. 1 seed was knocked out by Memphis in the first round this year.
But like "Groundhog Day," one of Duncan's nicknames, the Spurs are back at it again. The automatic 50-win Spurs will only fail to reach that number because of the shortened season.
It's Tony Parker, who will turn 30 during the playoffs, that is carrying the team most nights. Parker is averaging 25.5 points and 8.2 assists during the Spurs' recent 11-game win streak, the best in the NBA this year.
Duncan is averaging 13.9 points and 8.6 rebounds and didn't make the All-Star team. Manu Ginobili has played just nine games.
But if those three are healthy when it's playoff time, then don't count the Spurs out.
They still have Gregg Popovich, who made one of the best front-office moves of all time when he made himself the coach during the 1997-97 season.
Take a drive up I-35 and you'll find the defending champion Mavericks, who seem to get older every year. Dirk Nowitzki looked like the title celebration aged him about 10 years when he showed up this year.
But Dirk is back to his old tricks with 50 percent shooting and about 25 points per game over the last 10 games.
The Mavs have won seven of eight despite their share of injuries, too.
Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Vince Carter and Shawn Marion are all on the wrong side of 30. They aren't young or fresh by NBA standards.
Lamar Odom is experienced, too, even if he's playing as if he took up the sport yesterday.
Before this streak began, I, and several others, asked Marion, the one Dallas player who has brought his game just about every night, about what was wrong and how close the Mavericks were.
Marion just kept talking about it being a process. And he sort of defiantly said every time he had opportunities in his career, he had produced.
The process for the Mavericks includes one of the game's great closers in Nowitzki, one of the clutch all-around players in Kidd, and a do-it-all defender in Marion. That's a pretty good start.
The Mavs added a much more efficient than advertised Vince Carter, good production from the center position, and they hope a healthy Delonte West for the playoffs.
The youthful energy has come from Brandan Wright of late.
It's a formula that wasn't designed to grab the top seed. I think everyone is conceding that to OKC.
But with any luck on the health front, the Spurs and Mavericks are back to their winning ways and will have to be dealt with in a couple of months.
It's going to take more than a couple of poster-sized dunks to discourage these wily vets.

07 October 2013 10:50 [Source: ICIS news]
BERLIN (ICIS)--European phenol and acetone markets are under pressure that is likely to continue next year, sources said on the sidelines of the 47th annual European Petrochemical Association (EPCA) meeting late on Sunday.
"Acetone is short, phenol is running at reduced rates and we will soon see all these new capacities coming on stream in Asia," a major consumer of both materials said.
A second large buyer said: "I agree on all three points. I sense there is a lot of pressure to move phenol, acetone is tight and we are all still looking to see how new capacities in Asia will impact on Europe. I think we are starting to see the effect of Asia now. Next year will be interesting," the second buyer added.
Acetone supply is short because of ongoing cuts in phenol production, not only in Europe, but on a global scale because of the downturn in demand for bisphenol A (BPA) into polycarbonates (PC) and epoxy resins.
One source following the phenol and acetone markets in Europe said it had heard that operating rates in Europe were as low as 60%.
Others estimate put them to be around 70%.
"We will experience the full increase of the Asian capacities next year. Exports to China will eventually stop and this will be reflected for the whole of Europe. All the capacities are limiting export opportunities," a major buyer consuming for the nylon intermediate market said.
The buyer said caprolactam export so far this year was 45-50% lower than in previous years.
While most discussions focused on tight acetone, long phenol and the ever-expanding Asian markets, there was much speculation surrounding market consolidation in Europe.
"I am always being asked about our production," said a major producer.
It also said that the market really needs to look to buyers first in relation to any future consolidation in the market.
While the feeling in the market was less that upbeat, some areas of the phenol sector have shown better performance this year.
Phenol resins have done better than most markets in terms of demand. However, sources in this sector too talk about poor margins and the need for phenol prices to come down.
"Resins is the more healthy application. Quarter one was a little difficult, but by April consumption was at a very high rate - but margins are a different story," a phenolic producer said.
Despite concerns about high feedstock costs, lack of exports, market length, market tightness, lack of export opportunities and threat of imports, sources did not think that 2013 has been that bad for business.
"This year's not been great but it's been acceptable. I think next year will be very much the same," commented one buyer.
Another buyer said it could have been worse.
"Well we're still all here, so it can't be that bad," added a third buyer.
The EPCA meeting runs from 5-9 October.

Comment: Re:"new" research (Score 1) 185
There is increasing evidence, particularly involving neuroectodermal cell lines that somatic cell genetic variation is usual. This involves genes moving around within the genome. Normal brain development depends on it. It may well represent an essential component of neuroectodermal tissue and organ development.
The only cell lines where the germline must be protected at all costs are the germ cells themselves.
It makes sense that the origins of our vertebrate adaptive immune system comes from something more general purpose and the evidence for this is emerging.

Forensic investigators yesterday completed an examination of
the Avalon apartment in Surfers Paradise where Warriena
"Rrie" Wright, 26, fell about 2.30am on Friday.
Police have also been trawling through online comments and
CCTV footage for clues to her death, which is being treated
as suspicious.
Ms Wright, who was on the Gold Coast for a wedding, had been
at the apartment with 28-year-old bodybuilder Gable Tostee.
He was questioned by police and released without charge.
It was revealed yesterday that Mr Tostee had logged back on
to Tinder -- the dating app where he met Ms Wright -- only
days after her death.
He checked in on his Tinder profile on Monday morning, the
Gold Coast Bulletin reported.
Police have taken copies of Mr Tostee's online posts,
including boasts on a bodybuilding forum about 150 sexual
encounters and balcony sex.
He also posted that he was "devastated" by Ms Wright's death
and denied he had caused it.
Gold Coast Detective Superintendent David Hutchinson told
APNZ that police were aware of the online posts, but were not
making any comment on their content.
"Obviously we will look at whatever is presented, but whether
it forms a part of any investigation down the track is
debatable. But certainly for intelligence and information
purposes, we're looking at them."
A forensic examination of the apartment was completed
yesterday. Mr Hutchinson said police had seized some items
during the search, but he would not go into details.
A post-mortem examination of Ms Wright's body was also
completed yesterday. It would be some time before toxicology
results were available.
Arrangements to return Ms Wight's body to her family were
"We're hoping that the family might be able to get over later
in the week," Mr Hutchinson said.
Police had not interviewed Mr Tostee since he declined to
answer questions last week.
"He exercised his right to silence, which he's entitled to
do, so that's where we are at this stage."
Asked whether police would be talking to him again, Mr
Hutchinson said: "We'll see how the investigation unfolds."
It emerged yesterday that Mr Tostee allegedly had two run-ins
with police earlier this year.
Australia's Nine News reported Mr Tostee was charged with
public nuisance offences, assaulting police and obstructing
police after an incident on January 27.
He was also charged after a high-speed police pursuit, in
which he allegedly drove drunk at speeds of up to 200km/h, on
July 27.
Mr Tostee was due back in court on August 27.
His lawyer, Mr Purcell, did not return APNZ's calls
requesting comment yesterday.

Brothers Reilly Smith, Brendan Smith weigh in on playoff meeting
|04.13.14 at 12:31 am ET
Reilly Smith and Brendan Smith are already weighing in on the difficult decision their parents will face when the brothers meet one another in the first round of the playoffs.
Reilly Smith, the Bruins' second line right wing, has played against his older brother, Red Wings defenseman Brendan Smith, six times in the regular season over the last two seasons (three times with the Stars and three with the Bruins). Brendan and the Red Wings have won four of those six games.
After the Red Wings were locked into the second wild card spot Saturday night, both players took to Twitter:

'Party not just made up of Lingayats, but of oppressed sections also'
In an apparent political message at a time when the former Chief Minister and Lingayat strongman B.S. Yeddyurappa is getting ready to quit the Bharatiya Janata Party, Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar on Saturday said it was because of the support of the Dalits that the party was able to come to power, winning 110 seats in the previous Assembly elections.
Participating in a meeting of the BJP SC Morcha's national office-bearers and State presidents in Bangalore, Mr. Shettar said contrary to public perception that the BJP is a party of forward communities, especially Lingayats, it was actually a party that includes Dalits and oppressed sections.
He pointed out that the BJP had won the highest number of Assembly and Lok Sabha seats reserved for Dalits in the State. Listing the various welfare measures taken up by the State government for Dalits and oppressed sections, he said the BJP had made the highest budgetary allocation for these sections.
BJP State president K.S. Eshwarappa accused the Congress of using Dalits as a mere vote bank. He said the BJP was striving to bring Dalits and oppressed sections into the mainstream.
BJP SC Morcha national president Dushyanth Kumar Gautam called upon the morcha to play a crucial role in bringing the party to power in the next Parliamentary polls. He said the Congress was embroiled in various allegations. "As it cannot escape from those serious allegations, its leaders are trying to mislead people by telling lies," he alleged.
Support for Gadkari
Terming the allegations levelled against BJP national president Nitin Gadkari as "baseless and fabricated", the morcha national office-bearers and State presidents adopted a resolution asking Mr. Gadkari not to think of resigning.
SC Morcha State president A.R. Krishnamurthy was also present.

the Auto headlights and the AC thermostat run through the PCM... it's not Voodoo fixes... its bad software in the PCM. Just like when Windows 98 first came out and Bill Gates crashed it by plugging a plug and play scanner in front of a national audience. Software glitches. The issue comes in right at the PCM itself. clean contacts, proper ground and SOLID contacts that dont wiggle around. Deoxit and wire ties make a major difference at the PCM but the other ends of the cables and all connectors inbetween need to be dealt with as well

Queen Victoria Cruise Review by cibjto: Baltic late than never

Compare Prices on Queen Victoria Baltic Sea Cruises
Baltic late than never
Having cruised on the QE2 and Queen Mary a couple of times sailing round the Med, we thought we'd like to try a Baltic Cruise and sure enough Queen Victoria was sailing at a good time of the year for us. It was the offer where they sell you a Britannia class balcony cabin at a cheap price but they only have a few on the ship so you know you're going to get an 'upgrade'. We got due upgrade to deck 7, aft. The cabin was the same size as other cabins we have had with a small bathroom but it was comfortable enough and clean - although we did find a hair band behind the bedside cabinet.
We were second sitting for dinner and throughout the voyage the food was OK -ââ¬" not fabulous but given it was mass catering it was OK, no real complaints. Table service was efficient if a bit rushed -ââ¬" I felt as though the waiters couldn't wait to get you out so they could re-set the table for breakfast. In the morning and at lunchtime in The Lido (which is where we mostly More breakfasted) waiters were asking if you would like to order wine for that evening 'in case they were busy'. Two things, if they're that busy they should have more staff and secondly, at that point, we didn't even know what we'd be eating! If this sounds a bit negative, it's not meant to be because in general, I found the service very good.
The ports were interesting but everyone was waiting for the big one -ââ¬" St Petersburg. It certainly didn't disappoint. We took a full day trip and 'did' The Hermitage and Winter Place as well as a small concert at a nearby music school. It really was the highlight of the journey.
Of the other ports, Tallin was lovely as was Bruges. The weather was not sunbathing weather but we didn't expect that. We still got a couple of hours (on a couple of days) on the sun beds though!
All in all a great experience but my OH doesn't fancy taking 3 suits on holiday next time so we may try a less formal ship next time although having said that, I do quite like the glitzy dressing up part of it!! Less

The paths of Derek Carr and Cody Kessler both started in Bakersfield in the early 1990s. They have converged and diverged many times since then, but for three hours on Saturday, they'll come back together as the nation watches.
The Las Vegas Bowl kicks off at 12:30 p.m. on ABC, and it features USC and Fresno State. It also features two of Bakersfield's most famous football sons under center -- Carr for Fresno State and Kessler for USC.
"You've got two top 25 programs playing in a bowl game, and both quarterbacks are from the same hometown, from Bakersfield," Carr said. "I'd be interested to know how many cities have that going on. I think it's great for our city, for the community of Bakersfield. I'm very excited it worked out the way it did."
Carr, who is two years older than Kessler, moved to the Houston area when his brother, David, was taken first overall in the NFL Draft by the Texans. He moved back to Bakersfield before his senior year in high school. After deciding he'd attend Bakersfield Christian, Carr joined the Eagles for summer passing-league tournaments, where he met a young quarterback about to begin his sophomore season at Centennial.
"They've been buddies all along," said Derek's father, Rodger.
Carr was a revelation in one year at BCHS, completing 68 percent of his passes for 4,067 yards and 46 touchdown passes, a school record that stood until Brandon Jones broke it this season. Carr and the Eagles won the 2008 Central Section Division V championship with three playoff routs.
After an injury-plagued junior season, Kessler led Centennial to the Division I championship game in 2009, where the Golden Hawks lost to Fresno-Bullard. They've never made it farther in the D-I bracket.
Kessler's recruitment exploded; after he settled on USC, he had an extraordinary senior season, completing nearly 70 percent of his passes for 2,831 yards, 36 touchdowns and only two interceptions before Bakersfield (led by Fresno State backup QB Brian Burrell) upset Centennial in the D-I semifinals.
"There's guys (at USC) who give me a hard time all the time; you don't get a lot of respect down here if you're from the Valley," Kessler said. "My senior year at Centennial, we could have hung with any team down here."
By that time, Carr was well into his storied Fresno State career. He has thrown for 12,626 career yards, including 4,866 yards, 48 touchdowns and seven interceptions this year. He owns nearly every Fresno State record in the book.
"He's great," Kessler said. "He's very accurate, he's got a strong arm, he's a great leader, too. He's a smart player, and it shows in his stats. He's done so many good things."
Carr finished eighth in Heisman Trophy voting, led Fresno State to an 11-1 season and Mountain West Conference title and is looking for one last accomplishment -- a bowl victory -- before his path takes him to the NFL Draft next spring.
"It goes by too fast," Carr said. "I wish I could be here 20 years, but if I want to feed my wife (Heather) and son (Dallas, an infant), I'd better get going."
Kessler is in his third year at USC, but in reality, his story as a Trojan is yet to be written. After a redshirt season, Kessler didn't do much more than hold for placekicks in 2012. Then he battled well into the season this fall before securing the starting quarterback job.
As he fought for the job -- Kessler appeared to outplay Max Wittek in the preseason, but the two split snaps until the third game -- Kessler's father, Don, got some support from none other than Rodger Carr.
"He never doubted," Don Kessler said. "He kept telling me Cody's gonna hang in there, Cody's gonna win the job. And he called it. He said, 'They will realize he should be the starter,' just because he believed in Cody. I always appreciated that."
Kessler has thrown for 2,623 yards, 16 touchdowns and six interceptions, leading USC to a 9-4 season despite two coaching changes.
"There's been a lot of ups and downs, and it's been crazy and hectic," Kessler said. "... I'm still improving, getting better. It's cool. The biggest thing for me is that guys on defense and stuff trust me, and we all play for each other. I'm proud to be a part of it."
From afar, the families have mutually rooted for the other's son.
"I was talking to Cody at a Bakersfield High game a couple of weeks ago," said Rodger, whose middle son, Darren, is a BHS assistant. "The last thing I told him was, just like I tell Derek: 'Stay humble and always give God all the praise.' And he said, 'Yes, sir, Mr. Carr.' He's a good kid, and so is Derek. They've put their lives in order."
But before Carr and Kessler continue along their separate paths, they'll cross -- maybe for the last time, maybe not -- and root against each other -- for the first time -- in Las Vegas.
"We've been texting since we found out," Kessler said. "It's a good relationship we have; not just me and him, but his family and my family. They'll have fun tailgating. But at the end of the day, we both want to win the game, too."
And Bakersfield will be watching.
"It's amazing," said Eric Mahanke, who has trained both quarterbacks at the Terrio Therapy Edge facility. "How often is that Bakersfield gets to watch these guys play against each other? I think everyone I know in Bakersfield is heading that way. It's really exciting."

- Treatments & Info

- Ask a Doctor
- Before & After
While you'll need to undergo a medical procedure of which there are many to choose in order to eliminate your varicose veins, there are a wide variety of lifestyle changes your doctor may recommend. While home treatments won't get rid of your varicose veins, the right choices at home and at work can help relieve the symptoms and also decrease the likelihood of developing additional varicose veins. To support healthy circulation, your doctor may recommend the following tips.
Stay healthy and fit: Exercise regularly and watch your diet; staying a healthy weight will reduce the pressure on your veins, especially in the legs and pelvic area. Even light exercise, such as walking, improves blood circulation. Be sure to stay hydrated and choose foods low in fat, sugar, and salt for a healthy circulatory system, and your overall well-being.
Take breaks from standing: If you stand during the majority of the day, make sure to take breaks to stretch, walk, flex, and sit down for brief periods of time. This will keep a healthy level of circulation present and prevent blood from pooling and creating pressure in the legs. If you do experience pressure or swelling in the legs, wear compression stockings to support blood flow back to the heart.
Counteract sitting: If you sit for extended periods of time, take short exercise breaks. While you are sitting down, keep your legs moving with simple exercises, such as pumping your feet up and down alternately. In general, the more activity the calf muscles perform, the better leg circulation will be. Refrain from crossing your legs as this can impede circulation.
Avoid tight-fitting clothes: Avoid wearing tight-fitting, restrictive clothing like tight girdles, belts, panty hose, or skinny jeans that can slow blood flow from the legs to the body and vice-versa, leaving blood to pool and pressurize the veins in the legs.
Wear flats: Wear flat shoes rather than high-heels to exercise your calf muscles better when you walk, encouraging blood flow.
Wear compression stockings: Compression hose are designed to fit more snugly around the foot and ankle area, and gradually fit more loosely going up the leg. This encourages blood to flow upwards towards the heart rather than pooling in the lower legs and feet, and can alleviate the pain associated with varicose veins. Compression hose can also hide the appearance of varicose veins. There are many stylish brands and types of compression stockings available; talk to your doctor for more information.

PTS Plays Role in Conservation by Building New Data Center for the World Wildlife Fund
PTS Data Center Solutions was requisitioned by the world´s leading conservation organization to assess its data center environment problem. The World Wildlife Fund was in need of a more energy efficient data center with high availability and lower operating costs.
Franklin Lakes, NJ (PRWEB) January 31, 2013
PTS Data Center Solutions ("PTS") was requisitioned by the world´s leading conservation organization to assess its data center environment problem.
The World Wildlife Fund ("WWF") was in need of a more energy efficient data center with high availability and lower operating costs. During the assessment, PTS detected that WWF´s rack densities were causing an increase in heat which caused the existing Computer Room Air Condition System (CRAC) to flood the room with air. Hence, the CRAC had a very low Delta T between its supply and return. The resulting increased loads did not work well in the environment, causing inefficiencies in the overall effectiveness of the cooling solution, so improvements in power and cooling were a necessity.
A renovation was initially proposed, but when PTS found out that WWF´s first floor tenant was moving out, PTS recommended an entirely new data center build-out. PTS was tasked with design, construction management, procuring equipment, overseeing installation, commissioning, and post construction services. WWF received a dynamic cooling solution which gives the data center the energy efficiency that was desired.
PTS was able to educate WWF on the efficiency of a modular data center. By using an in-row cooling design with variable frequency drives, WWF was given a dynamic cooling solution which offers the desired energy efficiency.
"The use of modular systems is an excellent strategy to address growth without major disruptions", said Michael Petrino, PTS Vice President. "WWF is now operating a reliable, energy efficient data center. With the new, energy efficient cooling solution in place, the WWF data center is able to conserve significant amounts of energy and allow the WWF to practice internally its mission of conservation of natural resources."
About WWF
WWF is one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations, with over 5 million supporters and a global network active in over 100 countries. WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the earth's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by conserving the world's biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

Judge Rules In Favor Of Spain Regarding Shipwreck Treasure
An American treasure hunting company was told by a U.S. judge to return valuables from the shipwreck of the Spanish warship Mercedes to Spain, Reuters reported.
However, the firm said on Thursday it would contest the judge's non-binding decision.
The Tampa, Florida-based magistrate judge's recommendations on Wednesday marked the latest step in a lengthy battle between the treasure hunters, Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc, and the governments of Spain and Peru.
The opposing party's are all laying claim on some 600,000 silver and gold coins valued at some $500 million. The Spanish government has called for the treasure to be returned to Spain within 10 days.
But the decision from Magistrate Mark Pizzo was simply a recommendation to a U.S. district court judge, who will issue a final order.
Spanish Culture Minister Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde said he was delighted that the judge had ruled in Spain's favor, calling it a "very important decision" that set an "important precedent",
The 17-ton haul of artifacts was discovered in wreckage by Odyssey in March 2007 in international waters about 100 miles west of the Straits of Gibraltar.
The Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes was a frigate carrying treasure back from Peru when British gunboats off the Spanish coast sank it in 1804, officials from Spain said.
Upon discovering the loot, Odyssey had flown the treasure to Florida from Gibraltar, a British territory, after which Spain laid claim on the findings.
In his report, Pizzo said there was solid evidence of Spain's claim that the wreckage was that of the Mercedes.
He suggested that the debris field's location, coins, cannons and artifacts persuasively match the Mercedes historical record and that the Tampa court did not have jurisdiction in the case and recommended the artifacts be returned to Spain.
Odyssey said it planned to file a written objection to the decision and would "vigorously defend its rights to what it has legally recovered."
Odyssey chief executive Greg Stemm said they would be back to argue the merits of the case and that his company had done everything by the book.
"For the court to find that enough evidence exists to conclusively identify the site as the Mercedes … is just wrong," he stated.
Peru entered the legal fray in August when it filed a claim for information with the Tampa court, which said the coins may be "part of the patrimony of the Republic of Peru."
Peru was ruled by Spain at the time the Mercedes was sunk.

The setting in 1 Samuel 14 is war between the Israelites and the Philistines; and while King Saul relaxed under a pomegranate tree [1 Samuel 14:2], his son Jonathan along with his armor-bearer left the camp quietly to see if the Lord would fight the battle on their behalf. Jonathan had no idea what he would face out there, how many Philistines he would encounter, their battle skills or strategies. He only knew that if God delivered the enemy into his hands he would be victorious. And he was.

When Paul wrote to the Philippian church he spoke of pressing forward for the prize of the high calling.

A story is told of Napoleon Bonaparte. As he was busy conquering Europe in the 1800's during one of his military campaigns, Napoleon accidentally let the bridle of his horse slip while he was looking through some papers. The horse reared itself and the Emperor lost his balance. One corporal quickly leaped forward and caught the bridle just in the nick of time, bringing the horse under control and saving Napoleon from what might have been serious injury or even death. Napoleon saluted the corporal and said, "Thank you, Captain!" "Of what company, Sire?" asked the corporal. "Of my guards," replied Napoleon.
J. Oswald Sanders, a Godly man and former director of Overseas Missionary Fellowship, once wrote about a position he desired.

Seek them not!"

I love fishing… but sadly, I haven't been able to fish for quite a while. There's the Mediterranean, but other than that, the few good fishing spots in Israel are not really available to the public.

North Korea Joins Chorus of Trolls Slamming U.S. Over Ferguson
- By Elias GrollElias Groll is an assistant editor at Foreign Policy. A native of Stockholm, Sweden, he received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University, where he was the managing editor of The Harvard Crimson.
- elias.groll
- @eliasgroll
North Korea is arguably one of the world's most racist societies, so it's with no small measure of irony that the country's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday bashed the United States for the happenings in Ferguson, Missouri, which has been gripped by unrest following the death of a black teenager at the hands of a white police officer.
According to North Korea, Michael Brown's murder and the police's response reveal "a country wantonly violating the human rights where people are subject to discrimination and humiliation due to their races and they are seized with such horror that they do not know when they are shot to death." In his parting shot, the Foreign Ministry spokesman called the United States "a graveyard of human rights."
North Korea, of course, is one of the world's worst human rights violators. The country sends entire families to labor camps, brooks no political dissent or pluralism, and regularly tortures and executes citizens to keep them in line. Somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 North Koreans reside in government gulags, calling the country's nonexistent "credibility" on human rights into laughable question.
In addition to that dark irony, the communist nation is also built on a deeply racist ideology. One tenet justifies the Kim dynasty's continuation with the notion that Koreans are members of the world's most pure, innocent race. As such, they require a strong, paternal leader to shelter them from a chaotic world. North Korean propagandists bolster this belief by pointing toward Korea's long history of foreign invasions and the Kim dynasty's track record of repelling its enemies.
That same line of thinking has also cultivated an enormously racist society. When in 1965 the Cuban ambassador to the country, who was black, was showing some visitors around Pyongyang, "locals surrounded their car, pounding it and shouting racial epithets," B.R. Myers writes in his book The Cleanest Race. Police had to beat back the crowd. When Dennis Rodman and a group of basketball players visited the country in January, the website Daily NK reported that many North Koreans were asking one another, "Where did they find that group of goblins?"
But in its official propaganda, North Korea would have you believe that it remains committed to ideals of socialist equality. "The protests in Ferguson City and other parts of the U.S. are an eruption of the pent-up discontent and resistance of the people against racial discrimination and inequality deeply rooted in the American society," the Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
The spokesman's statement ends not with a plea for racial tolerance but with a castigation of the United States to stop lecturing other countries on their human rights records when it doesn't have its own house in order. North Korea, the statement implies, would really just like to be left alone. "The U.S. should know that it is bound to get itself into a big trouble unless it behaves with discretion, not knowing where it stands," the spokesman said.
That too is a lie. The Kim regime needs a turbulent world and the existence of persistent enemies in order to justify its continued existence.

A Civil Rights Breakthrough
Ed. note: this blog was originally published on the Office of Personnel Management's Blog. See the original post here.
I love delivering good news. Last week, I had the honor of recapping the Administration's civil rights accomplishments to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting in Las Vegas.
The chamber's annual meeting was sold out. I stopped in to talk to them about what a great week we had just had. It had started with President Obama signing the Executive Order that makes clear that Federal employees and Federal contractors can come to work each and every day without fear of discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The week ended with the release of OPM's update of the Title V discrimination regulations. These new rules make it crystal clear that discrimination on the basis of gender identity is a form of sex discrimination and is against the law.
I think about how far we've come. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has been repealed. We ended the legal defense of the Defense of Marriage Act. The Supreme Court ruled in United States vs. Windsor that the Federal government must recognize the legal marriages of same-sex couples. The President signed historic hate crimes legislation into law. The Affordable Care Act has expanded access to health coverage, and in the process we addressed LGBT health care disparities.
But this conversation is about more than policy fixes and court decisions and legislation. What we are witnessing is a sea change in the way the United States of America treats lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
This is personal. This year we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. What we have done under this President is a defining civil rights accomplishment of this generation.
As director of OPM, I am so proud of the work that our employees do every day to make sure that our LGBT brothers and sisters are not denied access to health, retirement or life insurance benefits or the Family and Medical Leave Act simply because of who they are and who they love.
I know we have more work to do. As the President said in his proclamation declaring June LGBT Pride Month: "We celebrate victories that have affirmed freedom and fairness, and we recommit ourselves to completing the work that remains." But we sure have made a great start!
