What GAO Found
FAA uses a variety of approaches, including certifying airplane design and inspecting air carriers, to oversee procedures and technologies that prevent or mitigate the effects of dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit. In the course of our review, we identified five such procedures and technologies that FAA oversees. They are:
(1) Evacuation of dense smoke from the cockpitFAAs certification standards for aircraft design include that smoke evacuation must be readily accomplished. Additionally, FAAs guidelines state that airplane manufacturers may demonstrate compliance with this requirement by evacuating dense smoke from the cockpit within 3 minutes. The guidelines also recommend, but do not require, that manufacturers demonstrate the capability to evacuate continuously generated smoke from the cockpit. However, according to FAA, no manufacturer has yet chosen to demonstrate this capability.
(2) Protective breathing equipment for the flightcrewFAA requires air carriers to provide protective breathing equipment that protects the flightcrew from the effects of smoke. The equipment must supply breathing gas for at least 15 minutes, must allow the pilots to use communication equipment, and must be readily accessible by the pilot. FAA inspections of aircraft include checks of this equipment.
(3) Pilot training on emergency proceduresFAA requires air carriers pilot training programs to cover principles of emergency operations and emergency communications procedures. Specific to in-flight smoke and fire situations, FAA recommends that air carriers training programs ensure that flight crewmembers understand the potential effects of the airplanes ventilation systems on hidden fires and that pilots practice planning for an immediate descent and landing at the nearest suitable airport. FAA approves air carriers training program curricula and conducts periodic inspections.
(4) Checklist to respond to smoke in the cockpitFAA requires that an FAA-approved checklist that includes emergency procedures be provided by air carriers and used by their flight crewmembers. FAA conducts periodic inspections related to these requirements. In addition, FAA participated in an industry-led effort to develop a smoke, fire, and fumes checklist template and recommendations related to its use. FAA recommends, but does not require, that an air carriers relevant parties (e.g., directors of safety and pilots) collaborate to consider applying these documents in their related checklists.
(5) Emergency Vision Assurance System (EVAS)EVAS consists of an inflatable transparent unit that provides the pilot with a window to view their instruments and out the windshield when there is dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit. FAA has approved the installation of the device for several models of commercial airplanes. FAA evaluated EVAS and concluded that EVAS does not provide a significant safety benefit and the potential benefits of EVAS do not warrant the costs that would be incurred by industry if FAA were to mandate installation because (1) dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit is a very rare event and (2) accidents in which dense, continuous smoke has occurred indicate that according to FAA, such scenarios are likely to be catastrophic for reasons other than flightcrew visibility (e.g., loss of airplane controllability, structural failure). Further, dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit has only once been identified by NTSB as a cause of a commercial aviation accident.
The stakeholders we interviewed generally agreed that FAAs oversight of protective breathing equipment, pilot training, and cockpit checklists was effective. With regard to FAAs oversight of the evacuation of dense smoke from the cockpit and EVAS, stakeholders had mixed views.
Why GAO Did This Study
The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 directed the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on the effectiveness of the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) oversight of the use of new technologies to prevent or mitigate the effects of dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit of commercial aircraft. FAA oversees these procedures and technologies as part of its mission to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system. In the initial phase of our research, we determined that there was only one technology that was developed to specifically target dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit and that this type of event occurred so infrequently that it was not practical for us to evaluate the effectiveness of FAAs oversight. Consistent with the mandate, we gathered stakeholders views regarding the effectiveness of FAAs oversight of these procedures and the technologies related to preventing or mitigating the effects of dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit

Spezza Out An Indefinite Period With Shoulder Injury
by Paul on 12/27/10 at 03:10 PM ET
Comments (0)
Numerous reports are Jason Spezza is out long-term with a shoulder injury.
The severity of the injury may not be determined for another week.
added 2:27pm, from Ian Mendes of Sportsnet,
The Ottawa Senators will have to play without their No. 1 centre for the foreseeable future.
Jason Spezza will be sidelined with a right shoulder injury that will keep him away from the ice for the next few weeks.
The encouraging news for the Senators is that the injury should not require surgery and Spezza should be able to return this season - although it will likely be after the NHL All-Star break.
"It's going to be a while. I've never hurt my shoulder before, so there's kind of a lot of grey area right now," Spezza said on Monday morning, with his right arm in a sling. "It seems like it's going to be fine without surgery. But it just happened, so it's still fresh. We'll get a better idea in the next week or so."

If you want performance and a nice clean look. Go with a wolf system exhuast. They have the choice of an underseat(which I have for mine) or a repalcement can. The underseat is nice because it will show off the single sided swingarm. And has removable baffless. You will need a re-map of the ecu, but any triumph dealer should be able to do this for you.

Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 12/4/12
The Patriots will honor longtime LT Matt Light at halftime of their Week 14 Monday night matchup with the Texans.— Field Yates (@FieldYates) December 4, 2012Matt Light was a staple on that left side of the Patriots offensive line for 11 years. He retired this year due to his battle with Crohn's disease. Certainly a lock for the Patriots Hall of Fame, Light absolutely deserves a half time tribute after playing his entire career with the Patriots. The Patriots have been paying tribute to many of their recently retired stars of late. In 2010, they gave Tedy Bruschi his own tribute and will now have done it twice this year - once with Kevin Faulk and now with Matt Light.

The interface is designed to let take advantage of the GPU and multicore CPUs for parallel programming tasks. The standards group will have to convince browser makers to adopt it, though.
New tech used by Apple and Microsoft promises to uncork bottlenecks. That's great for computer users who want new features, but brings new complications for those who build our software.
Software developers believe Microsoft's selection of Satya Nadella as its new CEO will help strengthen ties that have strained or frayed over the years.
Qualcomm, Broadcom, Samsung, and others are working at the Khronos Group to standardize some nuts and bolts of machine vision. That should let programmers tap into the technology more easily.
A new version of the interface makes software running on graphics chips more self-reliant and better at sharing data with conventional software running on CPUs.
The nonprofit Khronos Group is expanding its standard-bearer flag deeper into the world of Web graphics
The graphics chip tech in Apple's iPad and iPhone is due for a major update. Imagination Technologies describes what may be in store.
Standards group releases OpenSL ES 1.1 and OpenMax AL 1.1 standard interfaces to let applications tap into audio and video hardware.

Fake Parking Tickets
Original post made by Anonymous, Cuesta Park, on Nov 14, 2008
The parking ticket did say in small print that it was fake. However, the language used was offensive and threatening. Part of it was slightly humorous, but the message written on it made me feel pretty awful. I'm surprised that there are malicious people out there that would do these things - people have no heart. And what gives anyone the right to think they have the power to do that to someone, or to think that everything has to be the way they want it to? Cars are not going to be parked perfectly in each and every spot, as long as its legal its fine.
Has anyone else received this? I swear, some people have so much free time on their hands. And they will surely get some sort of bad karma for going out of their way to make people feel bad for no reason.

The long hunt for the new leader of the Republican Party has at last come to an end, and the winner isn't Rush Limbaugh, Mitt Romney, or even Sarah Palin, but this woman in a red T-shirt:
If you're going to lead a low-tech lynch mob, you've got to be able to get that Gilbert Gottfried screech into your voice like the Lady in Red does when she says, "I want my country back!" That's leadership for you, ever so much more forceful than poor Delaware Rep. Mike Castle, a GOP moderate (one of eight who voted for the House climate change bill), who seems to be ducking a personal Oxbow Incident by meekly asking the crowd if they'd like him to "lead" the Pledge of Allegiance. By then the crowd is already on its feet, one hand on their hearts and the other on an imaginary holster, insisting, like their dimestore-flag-waving leader, that they "don't want this flag to change!"
It's paranoid, it's deranged, and it's as American as Andrew Jackson and the rebel yell. What's different now is that the nativist right has finally had their bluff called by the landslide election of a black man as president, and their centuries-old legitimacy is in question as it never has been since Appomattox. So they are desperately projecting that self-doubt onto reality itself.
Of course, the Lady in Red couldn't scream the N-word in a townhall meeting (which, by the way, was called to discuss healthcare reform), so she screamed about his birth certificate. Karl Rove mentor Lee Atwater called this shot nearly three decades ago, when he explained how the Republican Party should parse its racism for the 20th century and beyond:
You start out in 1954 by saying, `Nigger, nigger, nigger.' By 1968 you can't say `nigger'--that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights, and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites.
And now, finally, things have become so algebraic that the base goes totally into denial, refusing to see a notarized public document as it's waved right under their noses, and the whole nativist scheme falls into ridicule.
The Birthers go beyond simple conspiracy theories--they're cast members of the ongoing American denying-reality show, not unlike the folks who deny the moonlanding or the Holocaust (like James von Brunn, the octogenarian who killed a guard at the Washington, D.C., Holocaust Museum and who had earlier posted [1] a screed entitled "WHO SENT YOU???," charging that Obama is utterly undocumented), and very much like the Creationists who insist that the Earth is but 6,000 years old, the Teabaggers who refuse to believe they must pay taxes, the 9/11 Truthers who say the government attacked the Twin Towers, and, as we might call them, the Inhofers [2] who believe global warming is a hoax.
The word Birther itself comes trailing clouds of associative fog. It's unclear who minted the term, but for the true believers themselves, it can have a positive ring. When I first heard of Birthers I thought maybe they were subscribers to some sub-catechism about the birth of Christ or an offshoot of the anti-abortion movement--pro-life, pro-birth. Which makes sense: The Bircher, er, Birther movement is born from the same psychology that can trace social unease to a single issue--if we could only stop abortion, we could turn the clock back to Father Knows Best; if we could abolish all gun control, we could restore the eye-for-an-eye justice of the Old West; if we could only prove that Barack Obama was "born in Kenya," his presidency would go away and White Power would be restored.
It's great to dream the American Dream, and the right of an individual to pursue whatever fantasy he or she wants is what makes America so admired around the world. There's nothing wrong with dressing up in Confederate grey and re-enacting your defeat--you just can't impose such a monoculture on the rest of us.
What has been so polluting about the GOP's Southern Strategy over the past 50 years is the winking at racism by supposedly mainstream pols and pundits for short-term votes and ratings. It's the cynicism of a Liz Cheney [3] or a Lou Dobbs [4] doling out MSM legitimacy with each Birther encouragement that really opens a rent in the social contract. Occasionally, you might trip up such media figures with factual arguments, as Chris Matthews did this week with both an addled G. Gordon Liddy [5] and a Republican congressman [6] pushing a bill that would force presidential candidates (i.e., Obama in 2012) to pony up their birth certificates.
But with Birthers and others in the fantasy-based community themselves, no amount of argument or evidence will knock some sense into them. Their lives are defined in significant part by the strength of their denial. Maybe the only way to effectively respond is the way a real American hero, like Buzz Aldrin, did a few years ago when confronted by one of those crazies who insist the moonlanding was faked:

Usually I escape to a locked room to pump, but forgot my work keys today and had to pump in my normal classroom. So a student just walked in while I was pumping, asked me a question, handed me a paper, and walked out.
Is it possible he didn't notice me pumping? Middle school kids are not known for their discretion, but he didn't seem to act any different than his usual attitude. I don't have it all hanging out, but my shirt is rucked up a bit, and of course the pump is going "whirr sigh whirr sigh".... I leaned forward a bit so that I was sort of "hiding" behind my laptop, so there wasn't much to see. I HATE when I forget my keys but it is pump or leak everywhere, and normally I get zero visitors during my off hours. Murphy's law. The day I forget my keys is the day I have a visitor.
So what do you all think? Any chance he really didn't notice? Although breast milk expression is a major concern of my daily life, I know it is far from the thoughts of your average middle school kid. Here's hoping! I'm mortified....
Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago! The pumping room was taken (I share it with a few other nursing mamas) and I was desperate so I used my office. I can't lock it but I made a little sign reading, "Privacy Please" and wouldn't you know it, 5 minutes into my "session" a male co-worker stops by to ask me a question. We're friendly with one another so he assumed the sign didn't pertain to him and just barged on in. I was pretty covered up. I had a shawl over my chest but the tubes were clearly visible snaking out and over to the pump which was going full speed. This guy just starts chatting away oblivious. Cheeks aflame, I finally pointed to the pump and said, "Um, look, I'm kind of busy here..." He didn't get it for a moment and then suddenly he said, "Oh! Oops, I'm sorry!", steps out of my office but continues to try and hold a conversation from the hall.
Anyhow, yes, it is definitely possible for someone to be standing less than 2 feet away from you and not notice you're pumping!!!
oh gosh! I can see how the middle schooler may not have noticed, but the coworker! Jeeze! I could never let down to the pump when I was stressed. I need a safe place.
Texmati-- Knitter, Hindu, vegetarian, WOHM. Wife to superdad and mom to DS 24 months, and DD 8 months! .
I'd like to think that he grew up around nursing/pumping mums and so didn't think anything of it. :D Wishful thinking, at least!
- E . Single mom to DS E (15.12.05), T (reincarnated 18.04.08) and DD A (11.02.11) and Hoppy
When I was pumping, I shared an office, and I just did it with my officemate in our office. We are a small office of 9 women, and while I could have gone into the conference room, she didn't mind me doing it with her in there. She used to call it "booby time" and the noise of the pump really became like white noise to her.
I've also pumped in the car with co-workers or colleagues (people I work with but who work for different agencies, don't worry, I asked them if they minded first), and often made phone calls while pumping. Someone on the other end once asked if I was playing video games?!
This time around, I have my own office, but I'll still talk on the phone and my co-workers will probably come in from time to time
Yes, it is entirely possible and very likely for a middle school student and/or an adult work colleague not to notice. This happened to me many times in the past. One of my students (okay, not middle student) but college age, thought it was a dialysis machine because of the sound of the pump?
It's very possible he didn't notice it at all! I wouldn't worry a second about it. I just finished a week-long business trip and pumped just about everywhere you could think of - in a taxi, on an airplane, in auditoriums, classrooms, and funniest place of all... in a meeting with the director of an important program I needed to connect with... I suggested I could just use the adjacent lounge and close the door - but she insisted I could just pump away while we talked - she's 'been there done that' and it was no big deal to her. The taxi I pumped in had a male driver who has a one-year old at home... I was amazed at how chill everyone was about it. And this all happened in Beijing... I now know how to say 'breastpump' in Chinese. :)
Lizbiz, wife to my man who makes me smile, and mom to one bouncy boy (08/07), one sassy girl (12/09), and one sweet new boy (08/12).
seems like he was oblivious
and The Nurture Center Store and Resource Center 3399 Mt Diablo Bl Lafayette CA 888-998-BABY
It sounds like he flat out had no clue! Although, he could've grown up in a house where breast feeding and breast pumps are the norm! Just the other day my 3 year old randomly said, "Mommy? Do you remember when baby sister used to eat your boobs?" LMAO. I was like, "Yes, I do." I was waiting for the next part of the question, but that was it... she just wanted to make sure I remembered!
For a 12-14 year old boy -- he was clueless.
Yes, he seriously was. And this is one instance that I'm very, very glad a middle school kid was zoned out. Most of the time it drives me bonkers, but this time it was in my favor. Thank goodness!

Urban History in Support of
Urban Activism
"Understanding the past better equips us to live in the present and plan for the future."
My New Book, They Been Down So Long/Getting Up's Still On Their Minds, will be published this summer.
A blog post from Newsworks.org, gives you an introduction to what it's about:
Historian and blogger Michael Tolle recently moved away from his home of 36 years near the Schuylkill River valley, but that doesn't mean the region has captured less of his attention. This spring, Tolle plans to publish a book based on his historic studies of eight towns located along the Lower Schuylkill River between Reading and Philadelphia. The book also explores how the towns could prosper in the future.
Tolle was struck by the historic similarities of the eight towns: Pottstown, Royersford, Spring City, Phoenixville, Norristown, Bridgeport, Conshohocken and West Conshohocken.
"All of these towns on the lower Schuylkill river all came into being for the same reason. They all assumed the same shape. The only difference between the towns other than their size is the topography on which they sit. Otherwise their commercial districts, their residential districts, their industry are all in the same place and in the same order," said Tolle.
Tolle said like many places in Pennsylvania after World War II, the eight towns began a long decline and experienced the loss of industry and the loss of the railroad. He found the trend of the eight river towns including their rise and fall began to diverge greatly by about 1980.
Most of the towns of the Lower Schuylkill Valley remain stagnant, Tolle said, with the exception of Phoenixville, Conshohocken and West Conshohocken. Tolle started to think about how can these towns move past stagnation and become revitalized....
Tolle's book, "They've Been Down So Long / Getting Up Still on Their Minds" is expected to become available in spring 2015.

My Blogs:
All of my writing on cities and community development can be found on my two blogs -- one local, one global.
The More Things Change...
Those who seek to improve their urban environment will continue to make mistakes as long as they continue to believe in myths about what made their communities the way they are.
My blog attacks those myths, and promotes community development in our smaller urban areas, utilizing subjects drawn from the former mill towns along the lower Schuylkill River in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
...The More They Stay The Same
A historian's take on the relationship between the urban grid and the automobile, past, present and future.
"What Killed Downtown? remains a welcome contrast to countless other chronicles of downtown decline whose narratives depend on sociological detachment. Recognizing that true objectivity is impossible, Tolle instead depicts the Norristown transformation from the perspective of people who experienced it."

'The government has made it clear that it wants to give every child the best start in life so the fact that overall child poverty is no longer falling and that the number of children in poverty that have a mum or dad working has continued to rise should be a major concern to the government...'

Mixed Economy can be defined as a form of organization where the elements of both capitalist economy and socialist economy are found.
Simply in such type of economy there is the presence of private economic freedom with centralized planning with a common goal of avoiding the problems associated with both capitalism as well as socialism.
In this system the freedom in the economic activities are influenced by the Government's regulation and licensing policies.
Existence Of A Mixed Economy
It is too difficult to define a country's economy as capitalist, socialist, or mixed. But as the experiences tell the role of the Government has increased very fast after the worldwide depression.
The was one of the best examples of the Capitalist economy is considered as a mixed type today.
Mixed Economy An Economic Mixture
In a mixed type economy, both the private ownership as well as the state takes part in the means of production, distribution and other types of economic activities.
The mixed economy allows private participation in the field of production in an environment of competition with an objective of attaining profit. On the contrary following to the socialism features it includes public ownership in production for maximizing social welfare.

Dubai - Second-seeded Novak Djokovic reached the quarter-finals of the Dubai Championships, beating Feliciano Lopez of Spain 6-3, 2-6, 6-4.
The third-ranked Serb dominated his Spanish opponent in the first set, but errors in the second set allowed Lopez to get back into the match. The decider was tight with Djokovic allowing an early advantage to slip before breaking again for a 4-3 lead and closing it out.

AUSTIN, Texas — Robert Peroni and Gerald Torres, two law professors at The University of Texas at Austin, have been honored with chair appointments effective Sept. 1.
Peroni was promoted to the James A. Elkins Centennial Chair in Law and Torres was promoted to the Bryant Smith Chair in Law. The Provost has approved these appointments.
"Gerald and Bob are great assets to our Law School, and are highly regarded around the country," said UT Law Dean Bill Powers. "I congratulate them on receiving these chairs, and thank them for all they have done for our Law School."
About the professors:
Professor Peroni joined the Texas faculty in 2003 and his primary areas of teaching and scholarship are federal income taxation, international taxation, natural resource taxation, and professional responsibility. He is one of the nation's top scholars in international taxation. Earlier this year, Peroni was elected a fellow of the American College of Tax Counsel.
Peroni is a co-author of five books and has written many articles on taxation and professional responsibility topics. Peroni's publications include the three-volume treatise (co-authored with Joel Kuntz), U.S. International Taxation, a leading casebook on energy taxation, Natural Resource Taxation—Principles and Policies (co-authored with John Dzienkowski), the widely used casebook on international taxation, Taxation of International Transactions (co-authored with Charles Gustafson and Richard Pugh), and Taxation of Business Enterprises (co-authored with Glenn Coven and Richard Pugh).
He has presented papers and given lectures throughout the world and has been a frequent teacher of tax law courses in the NYU/IRS Continuing Professional Education Program in Washington, D.C. He is the co-chair of the advisory boards for two recurring programs co-sponsored by the IRS. In past years, he has been a Professor-in-Residence in the Office of Chief Counsel of the IRS in Washington, D.C., and, one of the Academic Advisors to the Joint Committee on Taxation's Study of the Overall State of the Federal Tax System. He has been active on several committees of the American Bar Association's Section of Taxation and has served as the Chair of the Taxation Section of the Association of American Law Schools.
Prior to joining the Texas faculty, Professor Peroni taught at the Tulane University School of Law in New Orleans, and at the George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C., where he was the Robert Kramer Research Professor of Law. He was the first recipient of Tulane's Felix Frankfurter Distinguished Teaching Award, and he twice received G.W.'s Distinguished Faculty Service Award, selected by the vote of G.W. Law School graduating classes. He also has taught as a visiting professor on the law faculties of New York University, the University of Texas, UCLA, the University of Pennsylvania, and Northwestern University. He was the J. Landis Martin Visiting Professor of Law and Business at Northwestern during the 2002-03 academic year.
Professor Torres is the immediate-past president of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS). A leading figure in critical race theory, Torres is also an expert in agricultural and environmental law. He came to UT Law in 1993 after teaching at The University of Minnesota Law School, where he also served as associate dean. Torres has served as deputy assistant attorney general for the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., and as counsel to then U.S. attorney general Janet Reno.
His latest book, The Miner's Canary: Enlisting Race, Resisting Power, Transforming Democracy (Harvard University Press, 2002) with Harvard law professor Lani Guinier, was described by Publisher's Weekly as "one of the most provocative and challenging books on race produced in years." The American Political Science Association recently selected The Miner's Canary as one of the books "outside political science, [that is] so important to the work of the discipline that all well-educated political scientists should read them."
Torres' many articles include "Translation and Stories" (Harvard Law Review, 2002), "Who Owns the Sky?" (Pace Law Review, 2001) (Garrison Lecture), "Taking and Giving: Police Power, Public Value, and Private Right" (Environmental Law, 1996), and "Translating Yonnondio by Precedent and Evidence: The Mashpee Indian Case" (Duke Law Journal, 1990).
Torres has served on the board of the Environmental Law Institute, the National Petroleum Council and on EPA's National Environmental Justice Advisory Council. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the American Law Institute. Torres was honored with the 2004 Legal Service Award from the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) for his work to advance the legal rights of Latinos. He has been a visiting professor at Harvard and Stanford law schools.

School Days
School's IN for summer! The story goes that Hard Time's prison has closed down and re-opened as a high school, but the challenge to survive and thrive remains the same. Live every hour of every day in real-time - from getting out of bed in the morning to attending a timetable full of classes, as you explore a city filled with interactive props. Picking up knowledge from each class helps you answer real questions in 10 different subjects, as you work towards the grades you need to graduate. But with over 100 fellow students walking the halls, an equally important popularity contest decides whether your days are filled with fun or fear.
Although the game is mostly free to play, you can upgrade to a "Private" education to remove ads and make the school your own - starting with a student of your own creation and saving your changes to all 10 classes as well as the teachers and civilians. Private students also benefit from a more continuous experience that never ends until you want it to. And unlike the sims with numerous micro purchases, just ONE small payment unlocks the whole game for life.
In-game tutorials explain in more depth, but the basic controls are as follows:
A = Attack (on its own to aim low, with a direction to aim high)
G = Grapple / Throw object
R = Run
P = Pick-Up / Drop (with a direction to prioritize objects, without to prioritize furniture)
T = Taunt (interact with props)
- Press ATTACK and RUN together to launch a powerful attack.
- Press any button with any direction (or none) in a grapple to trigger different moves (as in Wrestling Revolution).
- Press RUN and PICK-UP together to set fire to a small object (which can then be used to set fire to a large object).
- Touch the clock or health meter to pause the game for more options.
- Tap the speech bubbles to speed through conversations.
- If you find your device struggles to display lots of characters, considering keeping the "Population" option low.
- "Speed Up Frame Rate" sleeping will require good performance, so consider leaving it on "Speed Up Clock".
- Head to the "Display" options to tone down other features.
To learn more about this and other games, join the debate at:
Hard Time (Prison Sim)
Each day, you will find your health and mental state slipping away. Both can be restored by sleeping - which is also a good way to pass time. You won't always be permitted to sleep, though, so consuming food and drink bridges the gap. These, along with many other activities such as reading or watching TV, can also help to improve your mental state. If you "lose your mind" you will break down and will temporarily lose control of your character (almost certainly getting into trouble!).
Your character also has a set of attributes that you are challenged to improve:
- STRENGTH indicates how much damage you can inflict or absorb. You can improve it by fighting or lifting weights.
- AGILITY determines how fast you move. You can improve it by jogging in the yard or scoring baskets.
- INTELLECT reflects your knowledge - including fighting skills such as counters. You can improve it by reading books.
- REPUTATION is how much other prisoners respect you. It can be improved by accomplishing tasks or intimidating others.
There are also opportunities to earn money - whether you work for it with a broom, trade items at a profit, or run with a gang. Having money increases your opportunities to grease the wheels and make your life inside easier.
You may find that you need to go to the toilet from time to time, in which case you must race to the bathroom! Alternatively, you could find a toilet to sit on or grab some toilet paper to spare your blushes. Failing to do so will damage your reputation and mental state.
I regret that there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so I hope you enjoy figuring some things out for yourself.
Upgrade to "VIP" to enjoy the full experience without ads - plus access to the editor that allows you to customize your character and every other.
(*Look out for tutorials within the actual game)
The game uses buttons where letters like GTA represent what they do:
G = Grapple / Throw weapon
T = Taunt (interact with handheld props)
A = Attack (on its own to kick, with a direction to punch)
R = Run
P = Pick-Up / Drop
- Press ATTACK and RUN together to launch a powerful attack.
- Press any button with any direction (or none) in a grapple to trigger different moves.
- Press RUN and PICK-UP together to set fire to a small object (which can then be used to set fire to a large object).
- Touch the clock to pause the game and bring up options to exit.
- Touch any speech bubble to speed through conversations.
- If you find your device struggles to display lots of characters, considering keeping the "Population" option low.
- "Speed Up Frame Rate" sleeping will require good performance at the default frame rate.
- Head to the "Display" options to tone down other features.
Wrestling Revolution 3D
The Wrestling Revolution rumbles into the 3rd dimension, where it now features BOTH aspects of the business in ONE epic universe for the first time ever! A wrestling career challenges you to take shots in the ring, whereas a "booking" career allows you to call the shots backstage - promoting entertaining matches every week for ratings. Seeing each side of the curtain gives you an even better appreciation for the other, and ensures you'll never grow bored of wrestling again! Both modes are available to play for free, with the option to upgrade to enjoy the "Pro" experience with no ads or limitations.
And if playing Pro isn't enough, a separate "Backstage Pass" allows you to play God by saving your changes to all 9 rosters before pitting your immortals against each other in dream matches of your own creation! With 4 pages of rules to mix & match - including up to 20 wrestlers in rings of any shape or size - the only limit is your imagination. You can also blow off steam with no pressure by revisiting the 8 weeks of supercards from the game's promotional tour. Not to mention the interactive training process that teaches you how to lock up in the first place.
The game features an interactive tutorial that you are advised to play through, but the basic controls are as follows:
CURSORS = Movement (double-tap to dash)
A = Attack (with a direction to aim high, without to aim low)
G = Grapple
R = Run
P = Pick-Up / Drop (with a direction to throw)
T = Taunt / Pin / Referee duties
EYE = Change focus / Turn opponent around
HEALTH METER = Switch character
CLOCK = Pause / Change camera angle
* This game is also compatible with Android controllers such as NVidia Shield 2k or MOGA Pro ("B" Mode).
Although every effort has been made to keep performance as high as possible, some devices may benefit from a visit to the Options menu to fine tune the display:
- The number of characters is perhaps the biggest factor so consider turning off referees and setting a limit on the match size.
- If you don't want to sacrifice numbers, you can sacrifice polygons instead and opt for "Basic" character models (no fingers).
- The ropes are surprisingly demanding and you may squeeze in an extra character if you make them "Static".
- Turning off shadows and reducing crowd sprites may also help.
I regret that there's more to this game than I could ever fit in an app store description, so please consult the online guides for further reading:

Wrestling Revolution
Gaming's biggest wrestling universe is back and bigger than ever - now featuring over 350 characters and as many of them in the ring as your device can handle! And the revolutionary touch-screen controls are as satisfying as ever, as you tap, pinch, and swipe for intuitive fighting. This game harks back to the genre's 16-bit heyday where the fun comes first, and the versatile animation system means that anything could happen at any time!
Create your own immortal superstar and embark on an endless career full of possibilities, as you attempt to make the right moves backstage as well as in the ring. Or simply blow off steam in "Exhibition" matches of your own creation - where YOU make the rules, pick the players, and design the arena! Upon turning "Pro", your editing privileges even extend to saving your changes to all 9 rosters.
* Virtual buttons are available in the "Options". Please play through the tutorial for full instructions.
- TOUCH anywhere in the arena to walk towards it.
- SWIPE to run or trigger moves.
- TAP your opponent to attack that part of their body.
- PINCH to grab or pick-up.
- PART your fingers to taunt, pin, or cancel an action.
- Touch the clock to PAUSE the game, and then the arrow to EXIT.
- To set fire to a handheld weapon, press the R (Run) and P (Pick-Up) buttons simultaneously next to one on the ground. This torch can then be used to set fire to a larger item using the same command.
- Touch either side of a value or box to browse its contents left or right.
- When selecting characters, touching their slot once will display their stats and touching again will proceed to access them. Touch the company logo to choose a different roster.
- Hold your finger over a character slot to move it and switch with another. Move it to the company logo to switch rosters.
- At the calendar screen, touch any date to view its contents. Touch your character to edit them, touch their stats to train them, touch the company logo to view the whole roster, touch the match title to see an exact description of the rules.
- When setting up an exhibition, touch a character to replace them and touch the match title to change the rules. From that screen, touch the table icon to add weapons and touch the ring icon to edit the arena.
- Touch any speech bubbles to speed up conversations. Touch any other static screen to proceed as soon as possible.
- If you know your device can only handle a certain number of wrestlers onscreen, please specifiy this limitation in the "Display" options. Consider turning off secondary characters as well.
- If you find that your device struggles when viewing the many character slots, consider switching to "Basic" text and turning off the "Portraits".

Booking Revolution (Wrestling)
- Meekin On Movies ★★★★★
Wrestling Revolution may be the reigning champion of in-ring action, but now "Booking Revolution" takes you behind the scenes where the REAL power is! Assume control of a given promotion and set about making it your own by changing the gimmicks of the wrestlers. Then deploy your talent in supercards of your own creation - complete with sophisticated ratings that measure the entertainment you're providing. As a fully playable wrestling management sim, it's also your responsibility to put the right person over in the right way at the right time for maximum impact! But with a locker room full of egos and rival promotions fighting to beat you in the ratings, your dream job could turn into a nightmare.
Upgrade to "Pro" to start at a promotion of your choice with full privileges - such as hiring new talent. This also grants you access to the editor, where you can save your changes to all 350 characters across all 9 promotions to create your own universe. You can then enjoy acting out your own dream matches with no pressure in "Exhibition" mode with immortals who are always at full health.
The following guide assumes that you are familiar with the basic controls from Wrestling Revolution:
The key ingredients to a "good" match are as follows:
- The "Popularity" of the wrestlers involved determines how much the fans will care about their actions. It affects their overall enthusiasm for the match, as well as how much they will "pop" for key moments (such as a near fall). In some instances, it is "Strength" that determines how entertaining an attack is, etc.
- The purple vial indicates whether there is a Face-Heel "chemistry" between a good guy and a bad guy. Without this, the match may lack meaning (although especially popular or talented wrestlers can overcome it). Wrestlers who are friends in real life may also have automatic chemistry.
- The green scales indicate whether the match is evenly "balanced" or not. Fans will quickly lose interest if one person dominates and they are not convinced that anybody could win at any moment. It is important to keep an eye on the health meters and make sure there is some back-and-forth.
- The clock grows increasingly solid, indicating that the match is running is too long. The fans have a limited attention span depending on the scale of the match. It is not impossible to make gains after boredom has set it, but it's certainly harder. Note that the last minute of a match ceases to be boring! Long-sighted bookers can use this for exciting time limit draws.
- The skull & crossbones indicates that the match is relying too much on extreme violence. Fans can become desensitized to this after a while and it will lose its impact. The damage is not permanent though, and faith can be restored if you lay off the weapons.
- A flame around the rating indicates that there is an established rivalry that the fans are getting a kick out of seeing. This enhances their enthusiasm for the match - as well as providing pre-match "hype" (a better starting score). You can use promos to create rivalries if they do not happen naturally.
- The overall score for a show is the average of all the matches on the card - with the "main event" being twice as significant as all the others. It is slightly more generous than the rating for a single match, as it is not expected that every match on the card will be a classic. A 5-star show may be one full of 4-star matches!
I regret that there is more to this game than I could ever explain here! I hope you enjoy figuring some things out for yourself.
* Please note that Wrestling Revolution depicts a fictitious universe and is not affiliated with any real wrestling promotions.
Popscene (Music Industry Sim)
* Please note that the MP3 player function may not be compatible with some devices. If this affects you, consider turning off MP3 music in the options.
Popscene divides the music making process into entertainment (represented by stars) and artistry (represented by hearts). As in real life, popular music is more likely to shoot up the charts and draw fans - but without substance, the success may be short-lived. Each of the game's many artists has the following attributes that influence this process:
- POPULARITY is the artist's ability to draw fans to entertaining content.
- REPUTATION is their ability to draw fans to artistic content.
- PERFORMANCE is their ability to perform entertaining songs live.
- TALENT is their ability to perform artistic songs live.
- PRODUCTION is their ability to compose entertaining music.
- WRITING is their ability to compose artistic music.
- HAPPINESS is the pleasure they currently get from their work.
- ATTITUDE indicates how likely they are to either contribute or cause trouble.
This is a band management sim, and as a band manager it is your job to recruit stars from the music biz. Each week, depending on the size of your team and their collective attitude, new songs may be recorded. Each member of the team contributes their score to a new song, and whoever scores the highest will be credited with making it. Members who are dedicated backstage staff will contribute twice instead of once - inc the chances of a good song being written.
Once songs exist, it is the on-stage performers who must bring it to life. As with writing, each band member on stage contributes their score and the highest determines how well the song was received in each category. This time, it is the "frontman" who gets to contribute twice instead of once - so consider who is at the forefront.
The overall rating for a show is the average of all the songs performed - albeit slightly more generous so that perfection is not required. This is also true of album reviews. A 5-star performance may consist of consistent 4-star contributions. Reviews are where your performances feed back into the stats that produced them, because each attribute will rise or fall to reflect what just happened.
When booking venues, you must consider how much it will cost versus how much you are likely to recoup. Tickets are sold at $5 per song so it depends how long your set is. You will receive a percentage of this revenue, and must then use that to pay your employees and any other expenses. Singles are sold at $1 each whereas albums are sold at $1 per song for a maximum of $10 (cha-ching!). If you have a week of inactivity, you may find that you make a loss because of the expenses of your lifestyle (which reflects your wealth). On the independent scene, you take a larger chunk of lower revenue so you will have to migrate to a major label eventually.
I regret there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so enjoy figuring some things out for yourself! Or join the debate over at Facebook to have any curious questions answered:
Flash StuntZ (Wrestling)
For bonus points, you can also stack tables to smash through! Simply press and hold over a table to walk with it and release it over another to stack them. Look out for passing opponents that you can also take out if you're quick enough.
Flash StuntZ was the first mobile app I ever made and was the precursor to the popular "Wrestling Revolution" series.

92 Moose Playlist- October 2014 Top Songs
Here are some of the top songs we'll be playing this month:
Time Out for Sports Talk: Could the Patriots Beat Cony High?
Todd: Well, the Rams are the defending Class B state champs, while the Pats are a big hot mess. I'm looking for any excuse to avoid talking about that debacle in Kansas City. So here are some other thoughts on my mind…
Maine Hall of Fame Sportscaster Bruce Glasier Passes Away
WCSH channel 6 popular broadcaster Bruce Glasier has passed away. Bruce's style doing the sports report was a mixture of dry humor, information and a humbleness. Bruce was a cornerstone with WCSH for 35 years, doing the sportscast from 1977 until he retired in 2012.
Mainers For Fair Bear Hunting Suing Maine IFW
The group in favor of a referendum on this November's ballot to ban baiting, trapping and using dogs to hunt bears in Maine has filed a lawsuit against the state Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife alleging the agency is illegally using public money to oppose the referendum.
Casting Call For The Town Of Terror
We're getting ready to launch the most haunted time in Central Maine, and we are looking for you!
It's Zombie Baby's Birthday!
We're still getting ready for the Town of Terror at the Pittston Fairgrounds starting Oct. 10, but we took a few minutes out to celebrate Zombie Baby's birthday!
92 Moose Hometown Hero – Roger Foster
A big 'tip of the Moose antlers' to our latest 'Hometown Hero' powered by HS Builders.
Do You Have An Old Bathtub? We Want It For The Town of Terror!
We're putting together the Town of Terror and we're still looking for items.
Hamilton Leads B's Past Detroit
The Boston Bruins evened their preseason record to 2-2 after Dougie Hamilton helped the Bruins to a 3-1 win over Detroit.
Time Out for Sports Talk: Spreading the Field with Opinions
Todd: It's been said many times, but sports is the toy department of our lives. It's the final two minutes jammed in at the end of your local newscast (if there's time). During our leisure time we watch a game or two so we can be entertained, much as we do when viewing a movie or TV show.

I was recently talking with a friend about the idea of what sustainable soil economics™ means. She said to me,"Teresa why would a farmer take part of their land out of production to plant warm season grasses?" This is a great question and one I've heard often as my farmer friends have said to me, "Show me the money!" and I'll consider doing some sustainable practices on my land. Fair enough. Here's the deal, sustainability isn't an instant cash return, it's a long term investment with long term returns AND that's the important part – there are returns with sustainable farming methods. We all know that our society is engaged in instant gratification and if we don't get it we think that something is wrong with the way we are living. I say, "slow down, you move too fast – gotta let the morning last".
Ok, so back to sustainable soil economics™. If you have a piece of land and are growing corn, soybeans, or hay – your soils are used to that root system and in order for the soil to get nutrients, you have to buy them and add them into your soil every year. Now, the nutrients that you are adding do little for building soil organic matter and are only enough to feed that plant for the growing season – providing that you get soil tests each year. No worries – we'll discuss soil tests soon : ) So your economic plan is basically input cost of nutrients needed to feed the crop that you're growing and management cost to maintain and harvest the crop – pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and petroleum to harvest. Then you get a return on your investment of the years' crops. Now depending on prices, the years' income could be high or low. Yes, I understand there's crop insurance but we're talking about sustainable farming for you, on your land, with your knowledge.
So let's say that you invest in some sustainable practices that build the soil organic matter. What I'm talking about is diversified roots which means diversified nutrient cycling in the soil profile. Hey, if I say the word "profile", just think soils underground. I want to throw in some soil terms so we all learn. Let's say that this year you decide to take out a strip of crops – say three rows of corn – on the edge of the field and either let it grow up or broadcast (throw) seeds of native plants, buckwheat, or maybe plant some trees – I know, radical! Here are a couple of things that happen within five years – the soil nutrients in that area build and the root systems that you've planted or allowed to grow up, feed the adjacent crops. This area of growth (it's called a field border) also provides an area for predator insects to hang out (grasshoppers, ladybugs, black beetles, etc.) and they are your live pest management. The field border builds soil organic matter which is direct money into your soil and builds the organic matter of the crops growing next to it which boost yields and provides pest management which will lessen your input costs of buying products to spray. Spraying products not only destroys your soil ecosystem, depletes your soil nutrients, and is a yearly cost to buy, but to spray them is a cost in petroleum as well. You plant a field border and you knock the cost down within 3 – 5 yrs AND you boost your yields back up. Are you feeling my soil vibe here?
Be well my friends!
Teresa Morris, Soil Fanatic

Lauryn Hill Plays the Paramount in Seattle Tonight
Lauryn Hill will come to Seattle tonight, July 8, 2014 at 8:00 PM at The Paramount. All Ages. Price: $38.75 - $68.75 (not including fees). General Admission Flat Floor, Reserved Balcony Seating. On sale this Friday, May 9, 2014 at 10:00 AM.
Tickets available online at Tickets.com, 24-hour ticket kiosks located outside the Paramount, Moore, and Neptune Theatres, Sonic Boom Records in Ballard, in person at the Paramount box office, or by phone at 1-877-STG-4TIX. For more information, visit STGPresents.org.
Lauryn Hill spent her formative years acting in plays and being cast in television commercials, as well as the daytime drama As the World Turns, Steven Soderbergh's King of the Hill, and Sister Act II with Whoopi Goldberg. Ironically all of this was done while she was still a full-time student. After graduating high school with stellar grades, she attended Columbia University in New York while a member of the then up and coming musical group The Fugees. Ms. Hill often envisioned herself as able to naturally make the kind of great contributions that often come from people with great minds and the passion and discipline required in order to bring great things into fruition. She would establish a reputation in the music world as the lone female member of The Fugees, whose record sales would make them the second biggest selling R&B act worldwide since Michael Jackson. She launched her solo career with the release of the commercially successful and critically acclaimed album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The recording earned a record breaking five Grammy Awards.
Seattle Theatre Group's mission is to make diverse performing arts and education an integral part of our region's cultural identity while keeping three historic venues, The Paramount, Moore and Neptune, alive and vibrant. STG presents a range of performances from Broadway, off-Broadway, dance and jazz, to comedy, concerts of all genres, speakers and family shows - at these three iconic theatres in Seattle and venues throughout the Puget Sound region and in Portland, Oregon. STG is the 501 (c)(3) non-profit arts organization that operates the historic Paramount, Moore and Neptune Theatres in Seattle, Washington.

The commonwealth of Virginia and VCU require that all full-time students supply validated immunization records to University Student Health Services. This requirement must be completed prior to registering for second semester. Failure to meet these requirements will result in a hold placed on the student's second semester registration. The hold can be removed only upon receipt of the students documented records.
The immunization record must be completed fully and accurately. There are two ways a student may fulfill all requirements:
1. Students may have their health care provider transfer the information from their medical records and sign the form.
2. Students may complete the top demographic section of the Certificate of Immunization and attach a copy of official documents from undergraduate institutions, military records, high school or other records that fulfill all requirements to the Certificate of Immunization.
A copy of the Certificate of Immunization, which details the necessary immunizations, is available on the student health Web site at: www.students.vcu.edu/health/docs/immunizations.pdf [PDF].
Students who cannot provide documented evidence of all required immunizations must see their health care provider, health department or Student Health Services to complete all requirements.

IBEROSTAR Tucán
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Tucán
Susie A says: about 1 year
Good hotel. Very big, but food and accommodation quality did not suffer as a result. Beautiful location.
"I just came back from a very enjoyable week at the Iberostar Tucan in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. This is the first time I have been on an all inclusive holiday and at such a big resort. I was impressed. The food was delicious and there was a lot of choice. The hotel facilities were sufficiently extensive that the size of the resort was not an issue at all. The rooms were spacious and cleaned well and there was a good choice of on-site activities for both children and adults. Beautiful location and I would definitely recommend a day trip to Tulum and Xel-Ha. The only negative was that we tried to arrange a special celebration for my parents anniversary and I had put an advance request to the hotel via American Express.The hotel did however accommodate a request for our four rooms to be close together."Rating: 8,0
Yelena Z says: over 1 year
Excellent resort with the perfect service.
"This was our first vacation to Riviera Maya, and Iberostar Tucan is the perfect resort with beautiful landscape, amazing widlife, perfect food and entertainment, and a wonderful beach and huge pool. The staff is very friendly and hard working. The rooms and beds are very comfortable and clean. The buffet restaurants are perfect. They also have a very comfortable and really fast taxi service. We want to return again next year!"Rating: 10,0
Don Maes says: over 1 year
We will be back!!
"Really enjoyed our week at Iberostar Tucan, we are hoping to bring the kids and grandkids next Feb. 2015, eight of us. I will be checking on rates etc. The pool, beach, animals, food and friendly service was great. Have been telling lots of other people too."Rating: 10,0
Jameson Hall says: over 1 year
Excelente and amazing!
"This vacation was probably one of the best of my life. There is so much to do at the Iberostar resort whether it be sitting by the pool with a drink, or the beach, the trips you can go on! The food is all inclusive as well are the drinks, and lets not forget to mention the star friends team headed by the amazing Yhoel or Marizco (I probably spelled their names wrong) we would go back just for them and all the fun! ! The plan events that can be done all day as well as put on a new show every night at 9:30. The place is amazing, you feel like you are on a giant vacation with a giant family! So awesome!"Rating: 10,0
Barry Collison says: over 1 year
Overall a lovely hotel & would recommend to friends.
"An excellent hotel. Very friendly staff. The only complaint would be that on enquiring at reception about frequencey of ferries to Cozumel on a Sunday. We were told they were the same. When we arrived at Ferry terminal for the 9am ferry of course there wasn't a ferry until 10am. We wouldn't have travelled that day if information had been correct. "Rating: 9,0

A look at some key points in Royal Mail's history
As the company get into full festive gear, we look at some of the key points in the company's history:Read the full story ›
Royal Mail sorting depot hire extra hands to deal with Christmas rush
Over 200 extra seasonal workers have been taken on at Sheffield's Mail Centre to cope with the Royal Mail's busiest time of the year.
The centre in Brightside handles 2.6 million items every 24 hours and works round the clock to ensure all Christmas parcels and cards are delivered on time.
Calendar's Martin Fisher went to see how they were coping with the Christmas rush
Extra staff brought in to deal with postal pressure
Over two hundred extra seasonal workers have been taken on at Sheffield's Mail Centre to cope with the Royal Mail's busiest time of the year.
The centre in Brightside handles 2.6 million items every 24 hours and works round the clock to ensure all Christmas parcels and cards are delivered on time.
And this year promises to be one of its busiest ever as on line shopping sees more parcels coming through the depot.
Manager Jon Adams said: "We are very experienced at running Christmas so pre-plan a lot and bring in a lot of resources.
"Certainly parcel growth from on-line retailers has driven a lot of volume through our network but we still have a lot of Christmas cards to deal with."
And Jon reminded people that last post this year for second class mail is December 18th with first class on December 20th.
Royal Mail busiest day
Today will be one of the busiest days of the year for Royal Mail. The company will be dealing with millions of letters and parcels over the next week in the run up to Christmas.
Post Office collection point in Bingley closed down
From today people who need to pick up undelivered parcels and letters in Bingley will have to make their way to the Eldwick Post Office on Otley Road.
The decision has been criticised by locals, particularly those who use public transport, because it adds distance and costs to many people.
It's the first of three closures in the area, announced by Royal Mail earlier this year. Shipley and Thornton collection offices are also set to close early next year.
Royal Mail says it had to make the changes to improve services and the chosen sites were most suitable in terms of space.
