Extract from the RPG Vault's RPG Roundtable series of interviews #7, published on July 10, 2007
Jehanne Rousseau Producer/Designer for Silverfall at Monte Cristo
The RPG genre includes quite different type of games - from Diablo to Final Fantasy, not even mentioning others - so talking generally about them seems rather perilous, their mechanics being so dissimilar even if they have common points. However, beyond these differences, regarding what RPGs offer or should offer in terms of fun, I know, as a player myself, what I like and why. I also have my favorites, even some very old games I regularly take out of the cupboard because their gameplay is so excellent. Some of the oldest mechanics are the ones I like the most, and I still can have fun for hours with classic RPGs.
Far from remaining with arms crossed in front of the RPG genre as it exists now, I think we all have the mission to find ways to modernize it without disavowing it completely
But as a developer, I have a different point of view; it seems impossible to me to be satisfied by the gameplay and by the fun provided by many current games of any kind because working on video games as a designer should mean having the desire to do better, to go farther, to bring something new, to question what's usual. When I look at games nowadays, even and maybe especially mine, I cannot stop myself from wanting more or regretting some of their systematic elements.For example, I hate the idea of the pig keeper who must forthwith leave to save the world because of a possible demon invasion linked to a legendary prophecy in which he is, obviously, the main actor. In some RPGs, particularly hack'n'slash, this kind of scenario is almost compulsory. I've had to follow this hackneyed - and we must admit idiotic - framework myself because "It's what players expect, and anyway, nobody cares about the scenario in this type of game." Or so some publishers say, even if, of course, billions of other possibilities as heroic as saving the world are imaginable... and without mentioning that after the third add-on, we wonder what could possibly cause another apocalypse. But we must admit that ambient conformism is undoubtedly the first enemy of the designer. It is almost impossible to find a publisher for a game that's a little non-standard, or for a new mixture. And even if you do find one, in the end, your game may well be brought back to something more conventional. However, can we tolerate letting RPGs drown in the fantasy cliché, with its old, even decaying mechanisms and endless remakes? It is obvious that the answer is no, but I think that wanting to make a clean sweep of everything and to create everything from scratch again wouldn't be a good idea either. Some mechanisms are the essence of RPGs; for example, growing in experience is part of it, and an element from which many players take great pleasure. Dozens of experience gain systems already exist, and there will probably be dozens more we have yet to imagine. The point is finding better ones, not dismissing the concept of experience. Far from remaining with arms crossed in front of the RPG genre as it exists now, I think we all have the mission to find ways to modernize it without disavowing it completely, and to find the right balance between the changes we want to make and the conformism expected from or imposed upon this kind of product.

Tyler Anderson turned in a masterful performance on the mound and Asheville blasted four home runs Thursday night in a 9-0 romp over Greensboro, putting the Tourists one win away from a Sally League title.
The Rockies' No. 6 prospect retired the final 12 batters he faced, scattering four hits over seven innings. It was the left-hander's fifth scoreless start of the season.
Anderson said he didn't have any one specific "out" pitch going for him, and instead relied on keeping pitches in the zone and trusting the defense behind him. The first-year pro struck out just three in the contest, but did not issue a walk.
"Nothing was really standing out as [a pitch] that was fooling guys, and the key when that happens is just getting out ahead of guys and throwing a lot of strikes," he explained. "That's what it came down to."
A first-round Draft pick in 2011 out of Oregon, Anderson was dominant in his debut season. The 6-foot-4 southpaw led all Sally League pitchers with a 2.47 ERA, compiling a 12-3 record in 20 regular-season starts.
Anderson has lived up to his hype in the postseason, striking out a career-high nine in a 6-2 win over Rome in the Southern Division Finals. He's allowed just one run over 13 innings in two playoff starts.
"These games are awesome," the Las Vegas native said. "On our team, these guys are so close. ... In big situations our team cowboys up, so it's a lot of fun to pitch for them. Our hitters battle all the time, so going out and trying to return the favor is a lot of fun."
Asheville has scored 19 runs since dropping a 6-3 decision in Game 1, pounding Greensboro for 27 hits over the last two games for a 2-1 series lead. The 10 runs put up by the Tourists in Game 2 was the highest one-game total of the Sally League playoffs.
All nine of the Tourists' runs Thursday came via the home run. Shortstop Taylor Featherston opened the scoring with a three-run blast in the third, and Ryan Casteel followed with a two-run shot in the next frame to give Asheville a 5-0 advantage.
Jared Simon launched a tape-measure shot over the left-field wall in the eighth, and Trevor Story -- Colorado's No. 2 prospect -- capped the victory with a two-run homer three batters later.
Simon racked up a game-high four hits, and he, Story and Casteel each scored twice for the Tourists.
"As a pitcher -- especially as a starter -- you try not to look at the scoreboard and pitch every ballgame like it's 0-0," Anderson said. "But it definitely makes it a little easier to throw strikes and get ahead when your team puts up a five-spot. It's going to take a lot for them to come back from that."
Greensboro starter Jake Esch (0-1) struck out seven but was chased after four innings, surrendering five runs on six hits.
Asheville can close out the series with a win Friday night in Greensboro.

Edwards Confident Roush Fenway Racing Is Back On Track
After what has been seen as a struggle the past few years at Roush Fenway Racing, Carl Edwards is as confident as ever that they are back on track. This season Edwards already has a win under his belt and is coming to a track in Richmond where he's had success as of late.
"I think we have it out of reverse and are in a forward gear now which is important. That is the key. This sport – what happens from my perspective is this sport moves forward so quickly. You have to move forward at that rate or great. At Roush Fenway we picked up our superspeedway program and our short track program but the 1.5 mile program which has been our bread and butter for a long time that has not been very good. We have been working very hard on it," explained Edwards.
Getting the 1.5 mile program in line is critical, as that makes up the majority of the Sprint Cup Series schedule.
"For us to have a legitimate shot at this championship we have to fix that and everyone is working as hard as they can. There is a lot of things on the table and if any of them proved to be helpful it will only be better for us. As a group we are working as hard as we can. I believe we have a really good shot at winning this race here and we are fast at Phoenix and even were fast at Martinsville. We will probably be good at Dover too. We just have to be better at the 1.5 mile tracks," Edwards commented.
While Richmond is not a 1.5 mile track, adding another win can certain put a boost in Edwards and his team's step. The Toyota Owners 400 gets underway at 7 PM EST and can be seen on FOX.

"Saving" the NVMC is nothing more than saying the right thing publicly.
Chances are greater than not that the HUB will be developed without any kind of venue.
Developers build what sells.
They'll build a minor league venue - holds 6-8k seats with some luxury boxes. Enough to hold concerts and disney on ice type things to appease the 'burbanites that they don't have to go to NYC for such things besides radio city, the circus, broadway show, and a rangers game, and oh, and the Turkey parade.
Also, a smaller arena means an easier sell on the impact to the area/land - if it's smaller than the coliseum, than it must automatically draw/attract less traffic than the much bigger coliseum.
Boot strap some strip malls on it and whalla, LI'ers are happy.

About the Saab 9-5
The 9-5 Sport Sedan is hailed as Saab's flagship vehicle. This premium, mid-sized sedan replaced the 9000 in 1998 to much fanfare and began the 9- naming scheme that continues into the future.
Luxury features, a sophisticated look, and great crash-test results lend the 9-5 its popularity. Its main competition is the fellow Swede Volvo S60, plus the Audi A6, and the BMW 5. Although people tend to think of Volvo when automotive safety is brought up as a subject, Saab is the company that introduced active head-restraint technology.
Slightly larger than the 9-3 with a more powerful engine, it's the preferred choice of many an executive, or just those who like to treat themselves well. It is not available in a convertible, as the 9-3 is, but both the 9-3 and 9-5 have SportCombi (station wagon) versions. Each one has a turbocharged engine, of course.
9-5s have been used as official police vehicles in several locations, including the ski towns of Aspen and Vail in Colorado as well as some Swedish communities.

MOUNT PLEASANT - Educators Credit Union is about to sell off its auto business, thus ending a long spat with the auto dealers association.
But the resulting business, Educated Auto Sales & Lease, may only look like a slightly newer model of the same operation.
ECU has directly been in auto sales and leasing for about eight years and opened its own $2 million retail auto dealership in fall 2005. The dealership, at 1300 90th St., has always dealt with both ECU members and nonmembers.
Now, following a complaint by an unnamed local auto dealer, a period of wrangling, and negotiations with the state, ECU will divest the business as of May 1.
ECU is selling it to Tim Stark, the operation's current manager, who will rent the approximately 100-car facility from ECU. Stark will take the entire ECU dealership staff with him; they will become his employees.
According to Stark and ECU, only the name and owner will change - not the operation.
"We wanted to keep it as close as possible" to the existing business model, said ECU Senior Vice President Jim Henderson. That model includes:
- "No-haggle pricing," with a set vehicle price after a modest mark-up. Henderson has said ECU's car prices average $3,000 to $5,000 below sticker price.
- A three-day return policy, which is not required by law.
- A 60-day "safety net" on repairs when there is no manufacturer's warranty.
Henderson acknowledged there will be nothing preventing Stark from altering those practices but said he expects they will not change.
"I will keep the same policies," Stark promised. "I want to keep it the same way."
The seeds of the divestiture were sown by an auto dealer's complaint, and the Wisconsin Automobile and Truck Dealers Association took up the fight against ECU.
"I believe all we were looking for is that they compete on a level playing field," Association President Bill Sepic said Tuesday. "They're going to have to follow what the law has laid out, and that meets with what our desires were."
The battle posed this seeming paradox: Auto dealers can offer financing to customers, but financial institutions may not sell cars to theirs.
The state Office of Credit Unions ruled the law prohibited credit unions from selling vehicles and ordered ECU to stop.
But because the state had previous approved ECU's dealership and plans, the state settled with ECU, the state's fourth-largest credit union. It ordered ECU to divest the business within 18 months - by this May 1 - or get the law changed.
Last summer Sen. John Lehman and state Rep. Cory Mason, both Racine Democrats, tried to grant ECU a grandfather clause through the budget bill. But Gov. Jim Doyle vetoed the provision, forcing ECU to divest.
Henderson said he was "disappointed it couldn't continue as it was. But we're happy that we will be able to continue to provide our members a similar service, though not something owned by us."

Joseph Donnelly
AGE: 90 • Bound Brook
Joseph Donnelly, 90, died Friday, November 22, 2013 at his home in Bound Brook. Born in New Brunswick, he attended Sacred Heart Elementary School, graduated from St. Peters H.S., Trenton State Teachers College and Rutgers University, where he earned a Master Degree and did extensive graduate work. He was active with several Boy Scout troops and served as Scoutmaster in New Brunswick. He met his wife Jean Kenyon in high school and they were married in 1945.

About MeMy name is Alex Naimith, and I am fairly new to the professional photography scene. I am a marketing professional by trade, photographer by desire. My passion for photography all started a few years ago when I decided it was time to discontinue destruction, and begin recreation; sold hunting riffles for the purchase of photography equipment.
I hope you join me in my endeavors, and perhaps we can both learn something new!

Letter: Again?
Bernard Katzeff, Naples
A recent article in the Daily News reported Citizens Property Insurance is seeking rate increases.
Just a reminder, earlier this June they effectively already raised their rates by eliminating a number of coverages and diminishing coverage on a number of items.
I suggest its officials go to motels when they travel and eat at McDonald's.

June 1 & 15, 2015 BOOKLIST
April 2015
Axelrod got bitten by the political bug in 1960 when JFK visited the youngster's Lower East Side New York neighborhood. In this memoir, he touches upon his early years before chronicling his stint as a reporter at the Chicago Tribune.
Even though the election is 17 months away, presidential hopefuls are lining up in droves and politics is a staple on the nightly news—a good reason to seek out political memoirs on audio. Memoirs are often more meaningful when authors read their own words, such as campaign strategist David Axelrod's narration of Believer: My Forty Years in Politics.
There's plenty to celebrate during "June Is Audiobook Month," promoted by the Audio Publishers Association to increase awareness and enthusiasm for the format and its fans. The Association of American Publishers' January 2015 data shows sales of physical audio up 16.3 percent and a whopping increase of 36.7 percent in downloadable audio sales, better than any other publishing format.
Readergal has quite a few invisible boyfriends who talk to her. She has complete control over when they speak and what they talk about. And she has one for almost every mood. These may sound like imaginary men, but they are not. They are Readergal's favorite male narrators, and each holds a special place in her heart and ears.
In the first season of the Netflix series House of Cards, Doug Stamper, Frank Underwood's ruthlessly loyal henchman, reveals a curious chink in his armor. He craves a woman's voice. It seems his mother used to read Dickens to him, and now that he's on the wagon, female narration is one of the few things that brings him solace, even if that female, like a modern-day Scheherazade, might be reading in hopes of forestalling her own death at his hands.
Why Kirby Heyborne? You need only check out the YouTube videos of the 2012 and 2014 Odyssey Awards presentations to understand the connection between rock-star narrator Heyborne and librarians. (Heyborne won both years for his narration of Daniel Kraus' YA novels, Rotters and Scowler, published on audio by Listening Library.)
Bryan Stevenson has won many prestigious awards for his legal advocacy and social justice work as a lawyer and founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) in Montgomery, Alabama, including a MacArthur "genius" grant, a Lannan Foundation Prize for Human and Civil Rights, the Ford Foundation Visionaries Award, and the NAACP William Robert Ming Advocacy Award, as well as 16 honorary degrees.
Anthony Doerr's vivid, captivating novel All the Light We Cannot See is the winner of the 2015 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. The applause the novel has received is thunderous. In addition to spending many weeks on the best-seller lists, All the Light We Cannot See won the Pulitzer Prize, was a runner-up for the National Book Award, and was named Booklist's Top of the List for Fiction for 2015.
Although I've frequently written about audiobooks, I've never addressed the hard part of working with this collection: How do we identify an audiobook's appeal and use that information to share titles with readers? Audiobooks are all about the narrator and how the narration affects the reader's appreciation of the book. Acknowledging the importance of the narrator is the easy part; sorting out how that plays with appeal is trickier.

Top 10 Best Car Movies Of All Time
Can we imagine a world without cars? At a first glance, this seems a rather simple task and we are tempted to answer "yes, this would not be so difficult". But at a closer look, we can easily see that cars are so thoroughly imbued in our culture, that we can almost say that they are, if not some "floating signifiers", then, for sure, they have a crucial symbolic value, not just a mere utility meaning. And who else, better understood that, than the world of cinema. The world of cinema, of "simulacra and simulations", fully contributed to this symbolic capital that we are often investing in cars.

Phoenix Suns
Suns silence Thunder late, grab 8th place in West: By The Numbers
The Phoenix Suns continued their prolonged encore Sunday with a hard-fought, highlight-filled win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in front of a sellout crowd at US Airways Center.
With Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and company in town, the challenge of capitalizing on an earlier loss by the Memphis Grizzlies looked tall, but Gerald Green, P.J. Tucker and Goran Dragic were up for it, pouring in a combined 77 points, thanks to nine three-pointer between them.
The Suns would stave off a late Thunder rally in the 122-115 win.
Here's a closer look at the eye-opening win, by the numbers:
Just five games remain on the Suns schedule and four of those are on the road. Next up is a trip to New Orleans to face the Pelicans, and road games against the Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings. Their one remaining home game will be against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, April 14.
The Suns managed to hold the visiting Thunder to just seven fast break points on the night.
The Suns stand alone in 8th place in the West after Sunday's win. Check out their chances, remaining home and away games, and that of the Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors here.
The Suns closed the game on an 11-4 run over the last 2:39 of the game. They trailed by no more than five all night and their largest deficit came in the first quarter.
Goran Dragic logged 26 points on 11-of-19 shooting Sunday. Amazingly, 19 of his points came in the second quarter.
P.J. Tucker scored a career-high 22 points against the Thunder, adding seven rebounds, three assists and two steals to his effort, which was fueled by a 4-of-5 three-point shooting performance.
Gerald Green also caught fire, hitting 5-of-7 three-point attempts to finish the night with 24 points.
Despite getting 18 points and recording a team-best +11 in the plus-minus column, Eric Bledsoe shot just 55 percent from the line Sunday, only converting six of 11 free-throw attempts.

Julie Christie won the leading actress Oscar for her role in the film 'Darling' and was nominated for the same award a further three times; most recently in 2008 for 'Away from Her'. Most of these photographs are stills from her earlier films with a couple of editorials and a candid in the mix too. Even in the film stills, where what she is wearing is all part of the character she's playing, you can see how absolutely of the era she was. Not to mention how beautiful she is, her hair is also amazing; every shade / style seems to suit her perfectly. Personally I like the more natural look, her hair in the second picture with Warren Beatty is loosely waved and long. I also love the volume and ruffled look of her hair in the third photo down, plus I reeeeeeally want the jumpsuit she's wearing in the last photo.

Coast Guard Station
Coast Guard Foundation's Gift to Station Fort Pierce
At a presentation earlier today the Coast Guard Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to the education and welfare of all Coast Guard members and their families presented a $10,000 gift to Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce, Fort Pierce, Florida. The funds will be used to provide kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and camping and fishing gear for the 45 active duty members and 15 reservists, and their families based at this Coast Guard station. Foundation staff member Brian Overcast and Foundation board member VADM Sally Brice-O'Hara, USCG (Ret.) thanked Dyer Chevrolet and the Dyer family, who made the gift possible through a donation to the Coast Guard Foundation. Mr. David Dyer, also a Coast Guard Foundation board member, was joined at the acknowledgement by his wife Harriett Dyer, and children John, Dyer, and Will and Tatiana Dyer. "This generous gift from Dyer Chevrolet will make a real difference for Coast Guard members and their families stationed here at this busy Coast Guard station," said Overcast. "We're honored to support those who so selflessly serve our country and put their lives on the line so others may live." The USCG Commanding Officer of Station Fort Pierce, Chief Warranty Officer Randy Ryan, accepted the gift from the Coast Guard Foundation

Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
(Human Mad Cow Disease; vCJD)
DefinitionVariant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is a fatal type of prion disease. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a prion disease that affects cows. There is evidence that this illness can be transmitted to humans, producing vCJD. This illness is often called mad cow disease.
CausesIt is generally believed that vCJD is caused by infectious proteins called prions. Prions are normal proteins in the body. If these prions fold up in a different way than normal, they may transform into the protein that causes the illness. The build-up of abnormal prions may be linked to the brain damage associated with vCJD.
|The Nervous System
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk FactorsVariant CJD is more common in younger people. Factors that may increase your chance of getting vCJD include exposure to prion-containing tissue. This may occur from:
- Eating beef from infected cows
- Receiving a blood transfusion from someone who had the disease
SymptomsAfter you are exposed, it can take up to 20 years until symptoms develop. When symptoms develop, they usually follow these 3 phases:
- Early phase (0 to 6 months)— psychiatric symptoms, such as depression , anxiety , withdrawal, memory problems, and difficulty pronouncing words
- Middle phase—neurologic symptoms predominate, such as abnormal gait, problems with coordination, muscle jerks and stiffness, and impaired speech
- Late phase—mute, immobility
DiagnosisYour doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) to record the electical activity of the brain
- Cerebrospinal fluid analysis
- Brain biopsy
- Tonsillar biopsy

European football's governing body will investigate a further two instances of wrongdoing by the German champions and their fans, including a delayed kick-off timeUefa has opened disciplinary proceedings against Bayern Munich over an 'illicit' banner displayed by fans during their clash with Arsenal on Tuesday.
The proceedings will also investigate "discriminatory behaviour" of the Bayern fans, as well as a delayed kick-off time.
Uefa say the case will be heard on March 20 by the Control and Disciplinary Body.
Arsenal drew 1-1 on the night but lost 3-1 on aggregate and were knocked out of the Chamions League at the last-16 stage.
Bastian Schweinsteiger scored for the hosts before Lukas Podolski, a former Bayern player, equalised for Arsene Wenger's side.

The Man Who Loved Dogs by Leonardo Padura: review
Part cloak-and-dagger, part Soviet history, part meditation on truth and fear, this book is a page turner.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
In Cuba, Leonardo Padura is a unique figure, a social critic whose five gritty detective novels portray a country we tourists never see and officials would prefer to ignore. His latest book is that and more: a gripping 600-page thriller built around one of the highest-profile political crimes of the 20th century, the 1940 assassination of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky.
The Man Who Loved Dogs is a page-turner. Part cloak-and-dagger, part Soviet history, part meditation on truth and fear, it chronicles both the historical record and the physical and psychological injuries wrought by the Stalinism of old and its more contemporary Cuban variant.
Trotsky's murder in Mexico is well-trod ground, explored in recent prize-winning novels by Barbara Kingsolver (The Lacuna) and Meaghan Delahunt (In the Casa Azul). Frida Kahlo features prominently in these, a nod to Trotsky's fling with her, and an acknowledgment that today, astoundingly, she is a more familiar figure than Lenin's charismatic comrade-in-arms, whose funeral drew hundreds of thousands.
Padura's protagonists are three: Trotsky himself, Ramón Mercader, the Spanish Communist who drove an ice axe into the revolutionary's neck, plus the Cuban narrator, who meets Mercader in 1976 walking his Russian wolfhounds on a Cuban beach. Ill and repentant, the assassin is living out his miserable final days.
All of them loved dogs. Immersed in a world of deceit, rife with backstabbing and trickery, each finds solace in loyal pets that love without expectation.
The novel depicts the global tide of hatred that pursued Trotsky during 13 years of peripatetic exile after Stalin's coup. We see his despair in the face of the show trials and executions of his fellow revolutionaries, as well as the murder or suicide of his children. All the while, the assassin and his Soviet masters are laying the groundwork for his death.
Recruited to the task by his own mother amid the chaos of the Spanish Civil War (where Soviet perfidy is laid bare), Mercader learns in Russia to kill without question and to bury his real identity under thick layers of blind faith and hate. Pretending to be a Belgian playboy, he seduces one of Trotsky's New York admirers in order to establish the cover that will gain him entry to Trotsky's fortified refuge in Mexico.
As he closes in, the assassin realizes he is a pawn in a hidden game, yet he does the deed and remains silent during 20 years in a Mexican prison, emerging to contemplate the meaning of his life in a Moscow plagued by corruption, poverty and fear.
The travails of the Cuban narrator, Iván Cárdenas, are given equal time. A would-be writer, his aspirations are crushed by petty bureaucrats. His brother, hounded from the university for being gay, disappears in unexplained circumstances. By the time he hears Mercader's story, unbelievable to a Cuban shielded from the record of Soviet crimes, Cárdenas is imprisoned by fear, yet he must decide what to do with the explosive tale.
Cuba comes off as a dark and decrepit country, but Padura is no knee-jerk anti-Communist. He grapples honestly with the profound despair of his generation, many of whom willingly sacrificed their creativity, their labour, some their very lives, to what now seems a grand delusion.
The Man Who Loved Dogs concludes with a plea for compassion that rings true to our day and age, not only because authoritarian ideologies persist. The terror that hounds Mercader and Cárdenas comes as much from within as from without. Late in life, the loss they mourn is that of their true selves.
Translator Anna Kushner captures Padura's fluid prose, but read the original if you can. It's even better.
Mark Fried's latest books are translations of Eduardo Galeano's Children of the Days and Severo Sarduy's Firefly.

Thinking About Diesels
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man
Dear Bob,
What is your opinion of the newer diesel cars? I know the older ones smell terrible. I'm thinking of buying a new VW Jetta diesel. Are they more difficult to repair than others?
We have had one of the newer model Jettas in for a long time now on a long-term evaluation. The car is very clean with or without a catalytic converter. As far as maintenance is concerned, change the oil as you normally would, especially the filters. Diesel oil gets dirty pretty much the moment you start the car. Use quality fuel. The biggest killers of diesel cars is water and sulfur. Both of which are found in poorer grade fuels.
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

Kate Erbland Biography
Will Smith's Unofficial Comeback Tour Now Includes a 'Summertime' PerformanceKate Erbland February 26, 2015 @ 9:51 AM
If you are so far unfamiliar with the Will Smith-starring Focus (which opens tomorrow), but you have been keeping up with Smith's late night appearances, you might be shocked to find that Focus is not about the rapper/actor reigniting his music career. After all, Smith has already resurrected "Getting Jiggy Wit It" for a recent Late Show appearance. Next up? "Summertime." Just go on tour, Will Smith.
Ice T Has a Lot of Opinions About 'Fifty Shades of Grey'Kate Erbland February 26, 2015 @ 8:42 AM
"Fifty Shades of Grey? That's nothing!" It's fair to assume that the last thing most people – even most late night hosts – would ask Ice T should they have him locked in a conversation is how he feels about Fifty Shades of Grey. Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon is not most people, and when Ice T (Ice? Mr. T?) appeared on his show last night, Fallon asked him about America's current cultural obsession. Ice T had some opinions! They're kind of great!
Will Forte Played an Amazing Prank on Kenan ThompsonKate Erbland February 25, 2015 @ 10:39 AM
Pranks! Wacky, silly, fun pranks! Destructive, horrible, embarrassing pranks. On last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, former Saturday Night Live star Will Forte reminisced about a prank he once played on co-star Kenan Thompson, a generally benign (but charmingly so) prank that saw him and Kristen Schaal playing around in Thompson's dressing room when he wasn't present and then sending him pictures of the mayhem. This is a classic prank. What could possibly go wrong?
Watch the Entire Cast of 'Parks and Recreation' Sing 'Bye Bye, Li'l Sebastian'Kate Erbland February 25, 2015 @ 8:36 AM
If you're still feeling emotional about last night's series finale of Parks and Recreation, this might not make you feel better, but it will certainly make you feel more! On last night's Late Night With Seth Meyers, the entire cast of the series joined host Seth Meyers to talk about their show (and saying goodbye to it, sniff sniff). From Amy Poehler to Chris Pratt, Adam Scott to Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari to Retta, everyone was here to celebrate the show. And you know who else was there in spirit? Li'l Sebastian. More tears, it's okay, let it out.
Jimmy Kimmel Brings Kenny G and Warren G Together for G-Tastic Performance of 'Regulate'Kate Erbland February 24, 2015 @ 9:27 AM
For years, people have wondered if Kenny G, king of contemporary smooth jazz, has a sense of humor. He seems very serious and very dedicated – and let's be real here, very talented – and that hasn't saved him from being the butt of many jokes. But was the real joke that Kenny G was in on the joke? Based on his appearance on last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, we're now convinced that the man knows exactly what he's doing, and he's relishing it.
The Kimmel School of Perfect Acting Blooper Reel Is Just as Funny as the Actual SketchKate Erbland February 24, 2015 @ 8:43 AM
The secret is, Jimmy Kimmel's School of Perfect Acting is perhaps the worst acting school on the planet. Let these outtakes and bloopers make that perfectly (tee hee) clear. In his annual post-Oscars show, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host unveiled a look at his eponymous acting school, where's he trained such stars as Gary Oldman, Jeff Bridges, and Jennifer Aniston, thanks to his decidedly off-beat tactics. Has it profitable? Sure. Is it safe? No.
Christina Aguilera's Britney Spears Impression Is AmazingKate Erbland February 24, 2015 @ 8:32 AM
This could have gone so badly. On last night's Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon busted out his "Musical Impression Generator" – which, we're just going to say it, we think is rigged and not at all random – to have a little fun with his guest Christina Aguilera. The songstress was tasked with imitating a bunch of other female singers – see? rigged! – but the highlight of the entire segment (the entire show?) came when she was asked to pretend to be Britney Spears.
Martin Short and Jimmy Fallon Politely Discuss Bill Paxton's Back HairKate Erbland February 20, 2015 @ 8:46 AM

The 'Hot Tub Time Machine 2' Cast Sing Their Movie's Unofficial Theme SongKate Erbland February 20, 2015 @ 8:35 AM
Hey, sorry if you weren't planning on seeing Hot Tub Time Machine 2, because after you watch this clip of stars Craig Robinson, Adam Scott, and Clark Duke jamming out to the comedy sequel's unofficial theme song, you're not going to have a choice. The very catchy – and, let's be honest here, very familiar – song is an instant earworm, the kind the will wiggle right into your brain and not let go.
Seth Meyers Visits Toy Fair With Playful, Weird ResultsKate Erbland February 20, 2015 @ 8:26 AM
Field trip time! Late Night host Seth Meyers took his gig on the road – albeit, briefly, and in his own home city – to visit New York City's Toy Fair. What's Toy Fair?, you may wonder. Well, it's only the best annual gathering of new toys in the whole world (probably?). The yearly event serves as the introduction to a bunch of new toys and gadgets and fun stuff, and Meyers decided to pay it a visit to find out what the next round of hot new toys are going to be.

Blog Entry
Cardinals sign MacDougal
Posted on: July 8, 2010 9:29 am
After back-to-back late-inning meltdowns, the Cardinals have gotten to the desperate stage with their bullpen, signing former All-Star closer Mike MacDougal.
MacDougal, who opted out of his minor-league contract with the Nationals earlier this month, was an All-Star with the Royals in 2003 and logged 20 saves for the Nationals last season. He pitched last night for Triple-A Memphis, allowing two runs on two hits in an inning. That pretty much stays in line with his performance this season. MacDougal had bounced between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse in the Nationals' system this season, posting a 4-1 record with a 4.71 ERA in 21 appearances.
Despite the Cardinals' bullpen blowups the last two nights, their relievers have been good this season. Before Tuesday's epic fail of a ninth inning, St. Louis ranked second in bullpen ERA in the National League.
MacDougal, 33, is a former first-round pick by Kansas City and has 70 saves in his career, but has struggled with his controll in recent years. Last season, even as saved 20 games for the Nationals, he had as many walks as strikeouts (31).
But this is Dave Duncan, who can seemingly turn around nearly any pitcher, so if it's a good arm and a head problem -- or an arm problem and good head (i.e. Jeff Suppan), he's at least got a shot at turning him around.
-- C. Trent Rosecrans

Cardinals sign MacDougal
I know MacDougal has had some luck in St. Louis. I watched him strike out Albert Pujols to end a game for a save back in 2003 at the old Busch Stadium. I was playing Black Jack with Pujols in the Argosy Casino in Kansas City Kansas - and reminded him of this. I was hoping to get a conversation out of Pujols about MacDougals great slider and lack of control, instead he ended the conversation... I wasn't trying to offend him. He had been helping me with playing black jack before that point... Funny now they'll be teammates if MacDougal can regain form. His slider was naaaassty...
