The truth in my view is that studios understand that a themepark is just much easier to maintain from a development standpoint. It's far easier to polish, leaves less room for rampant behavior (players ruining the experience for others), and is generally easier to understand by players as there's a direction to follow in the game. It can also be maintained with little effort.
There can still be plenty of Art infused in such a product ( as an example WIldstar is full of charm that is achieved through it's artistic traits), it just doesn't require as much from the player. For good or bad this is what studios focus on today. Ease of use...

To me it is the same reason why people in ancient times can engage in great projects such as Pyramid, Great Wall or Colosseum whereas people now can't even barely launch a mission to Mars (considering the the national cost of the ancient projects probably is a lot more compare to space programs).

Why don't you think it's a slide towards mediocrity? I wouldn't suggest this were the case if there wasn't a huge increase in playerbase. But it seems perfectly reasonable that the market saw that you could broadly appeal to a larger number of players, but in order to do so you had to obviously offend less people... but something that offends somebody or turns them off from the game is often going to be something that somebody else prefers. Looting mechanics and ow pvp are two obvious examples. I don't have a personal rule that says I will ONLY play a game that has full loot or ow pvp, but I strongly prefer it. So in order to bring in other players they are ignoring my preferences. They're perfectly within their right to do so. If their goal is to make money, then they can make money however they want. But it seems pretty obvious to me that this is a shift towards mediocrity and away from targeting towards more specific groups.
If people have been making what could pass for music by our current standards for hundreds or thousands of years, then it's pretty unlikely that the best music is currently being made. It's more likely that the best era of music has already occurred or is yet to occur.

Hmmm ok I guess. Mathematics as in WoW has it down to a science? So that's why it gets "marketed" more?
While WoW may have "It" down to a science ("it" being making money), I agree with you that the WoW MODEL certainly does not. And I also agree that developers find it to be the simplest path to profits.

Greek and Roman philosophers, medieval monarchs, mid-century churchmen; they've all written how much better things were in their bygone youth than now. There's no evidence to suggest it and much in support of the idea that some things may actually be better tomorrow than today.
In your example, though, by stating that since a game isn't serving your preference it must then be a shift towards mediocrity is telling. Mediocrity how? For you? If that's the best evidence to be presented, then it proves my point. Your subjective preferences (and mine) have nothing to do with the inherent quality of a game. Arguing that shifting away from the niche towards the mainstream makes a genre worse is like arguing books got worse as more people learned how to read or the quality of musical performances declined as more phonographs were made. If there is such a loss, no scientist has been able to quantify it; it remains firmly in the realm of subjective.
I'll grant that what the shift towards the mainstream does, especially if you consider yourself part of the niche, is isolating and sometimes disenfranchising, hence much of the hate from so-called veterans of all ilks. But for the people for whom the genre was too confined, too small, too lacking, that shift is often an improvement over the old. We tend not to do it much here but looking at it from the other side, it's very easy to imagine a gamer who didn't like EQ or UO feeling that the introduction of WoW was a cold drink of water in a desert of overly-complex, incredibly repetitive and impenetrable gaming.
As for music, I can probably agree. The critical point is that we cannot suppose that the best music must be behind us and nothing but the yawning abyss stretches ahead which, sadly, is how I think so many people who claim to "love MMOs" view the situation.

I think the argument of "people have always thought this" doesn't really work here because I'm talking about a shift that is made specifically to increase a playerbase faster than just what would naturally occur from an increase in population. In other words, you can't claim that it isn't CHANGING, the only question is what the change means. Yet, you're trying to say that this is nothing new. If my claim about MMORPGs is nothing new and, more importantly, is a claim that will be repeated ad infinitum due to the cyclical nature of human beings, then MMORPGs would have to eventually be played by every living human being, because my claim includes the fact that along with this shift towards mediocrity, there was also a large increase in the playerbase. Again, without WoW's success (and the subsequent wow clones), I'm not sure I'd be making this claim.
As for the point about my personal preferences, you've missed it at least somewhat. The point isn't that they don't have full loot anymore and so I'm just grumpy. The point was to show you an example of how you can get more people playing your game while serving those people less deeply. As in 10 million people in 1 game is serving those people worse than if those 10 million people were split into 2 games. You could follow this to its conclusion where you have games being developed specifically for 1 or 2 people... which obviously isn't economically viable. But I highly doubt that the industry had to balloon up to the size it is now merely to survive.
Also, the comparison about more people learning to read doesn't really work. I'm not saying the ONLY way to increase your playerbase is to water down your game or to move towards mediocrity. Computers and internet becoming cheaper are factors for instance. Aesthetics and marketing are another. Core gameplay features, however, are not. I have no doubt that WoW's success is at least somewhat due to unobjectionable improvements such as the ones I just mentioned. But are you claiming that the shift in gameplay features had nothing to do with it? Things like relatively simple crafting, quest hubs, carrot-on-a-stick game design, etc?
Re: music, I agree that it's a pretty silly position to hold that the best is behind us and to assume that it's NEVER going to get better. That's why I deliberately said that it's either behind us or is yet to come. The same can be said about MMORPGs. It's a young genre. I don't believe that UO or SWG or Shadowbane are going to stay the greatest MMORPGs of all time for me... but currently they are.

I think the main difference between older MMOs and newer ones is selection....When I first started EQ in early 2000, I think UO was the only other choice (at least that I knew of at that time).....Later on games like DAoC and AC came along, but msot of us were entrenched so far in EQ that it didnt make much sense to try something new......Had there been 600+ MMOs in 2000 my MMO career would have been much different, especially if the majority of those are free (to try at least).......

If you like a niche product and really get to know and become a fan of the area that product is in, the mainstream will always seem bland and unappealing by comparison. How many experts would say that Justin Bieber makes great music or McDonalds is a great place to eat? These things are successful because they appeal to people who are new to the subject or people who don't care much about it. It's a rare product or work of art that becomes totally mainstream while still holding niche/expert respect and appeal.
Also, a stereotypical old person will tell you that everything was better in their day while a teenager will tell you that everything sucks and needs to change [and see the irony of the kid growing into the old person who now defends a lot of the things they used to complain about....] Of course the truth is somewhere in the middle. Every change improves some things at the cost of others.Some aspects of old MMOs were better but some changes are probably for the best.

I'm not sure that I'm understanding all the points but I think I'm somewhat on the right track, so I'll try to address them more clearly if I can. I think a fundamental aspect is this notion of change since it keeps popping up. I think it would be nice if we had a more concrete description of what exactly a "shift towards mediocrity" means since for me it remains an amorphous concept at the heart of things. I don't personally believe that the sudden popularization of MMOs that occurred with (and through) WoW somehow mediocritized(?) the genre. I don't think WoW's explosion onto the scene, despite being unprecedented, sort of artificially mutated the genre as some others do. I think if anything it capitalized on the latent appeal of the genre that had been hidden by the nerd/hardcore culture that had grown up around MMO gaming.
As I alluded to before, it's hard to see full picture without stepping outside of an MMO vets' shoes. For the average gamer, WoW is the best thing to have happened to MMOs. For the average MMO publisher, WoW is the best thing to have happened to the genre. For the average MMO developer WoW is the best thing to have happened to the genre. Heresy, I'm sure.
A genre whose imagined max ceiling was ~500k players, whose small fraternity of games numbered in the dozens, whose future relevance lay in the hands of aging nerds (like myself) suddenly discovered it had the potential for many more games, many more types of games, and many, many, many more players. Many old school players may not like today's options but there's no arguing that the buffet spread is far more diverse than it could have been without WoW. And so, for me, the explosion of popularity is a good thing for most people who like MMOs, just not necessarily for those who loved the old ways (and only the old ways).
I don't see it as mediocrity at all.
As for gameplay and what it has to do with the explosion of WoW, I can't really argue against your objections to more simplified play or carrot-and-stick motivation. Partly because I've never given WoW much of my time and because my veterancy belongs mainly to SWG which was a horse of an entirely different color than WoW or EQ, for instance. But I can say that WoW had some obvious misses to go along with its hits. I miss the more profoundly social aspect of MMO gaming that seemed to wilt after WoW's arrival. The feeling of expansive worlds and living universes has sadly diminished in some large part because of the behemoth.
At the same time, I wouldn't be still playing MMOs today if the only sort of gameplay was that born from SWG or UO or Everquest. I never liked Mission Terminals, I never liked spawn camping, I never liked sitting around waiting for shuttles to arrive, I never liked the aimless feeling that "creating your own narrative!" pushed on me during server dead times. Without WoW or some other genre-busting game to come along and shake things up, I would have missed out on any number of great MMO gaming experiences.
That's what gets lost in the argument of growing mediocrity, the fact that we now look at games as simply an amalgam of feature sets that either tickle or vex us. That a damned good game can come along and have all the features we personally hate yet still be a damned good game. That's what I find so puzzling about the argument that everything good has come before. It completely discounts the possibility of there being something great today that we simply don't enjoy. In the end, I find that all-or-nothing perspective says much more about the outlook of the speaker than the subject being discussed. Such stark dichotomies just aren't borne out by my observations of history or the world around us.
Hope I've been clearer, great discussion going on in this thread.

Plus, the flaw in that sort of thinking has already been exposed by way of the overwhelming human tendency for believing that the best has already come and gone, despite having no evidence for it and often in the face of evidence to the contrary.

I hate to do it because this is when conversations become somewhat circular and beaten into the ground but I have to cut up your post in order to respond to things directly.
First, when I say a shift towards mediocrity, I'm talking about watering down your gameplay. Basically what I was talking about before where you appeal to more people at the expense of appealing to those people in a deeper way. Less targeting.
I think the position that WoW didn't mutate the genre is a pretty hard one to defend. It seems almost intuitive at this point that following WoW's success we've had an almost nonstop stream of somewhat cookie cutter themeparks... "wow clones." I think that was a bad move for the market, and I think there has recently been a shift back away from it.
Your point about WoW being good for the average gamer (I'm treating this to be synonymous with a player who didn't play oldschool MMOs, but did enter the genre with WoW) makes me think of... myself really. It makes me think about my own personal preferences regarding every other form of entertainment except literature. I'm thinking about music in particular. I've gone through a lot of fads, all of them based around mainstream forms of certain genres. I remember being SO INTO alternative rock and bands like staind, system of a down, etc. However, after discovering certain niche genre (and also just certain specific bands, irrespective to genre), I realized how much I was missing out on.
This seems to fit in nicely with how you're describing WoW for a lot of players. Just because it brought them into the genre, doesn't mean it's the best game for them. Three Days Grace may have been my favorite band at one point... that doesn't mean they still are. Because the bottom line is a lot of the people playing WoW and other themeparks quite simply haven't even tried those other, more niche games. THIS is going to sound like heresy but they may not know any better. And the problem is that games are a lot more expensive to make than music. So people aren't necessarily going to have that same opportunity to be introduced to a form of entertainment by way of mediocre mainstream products and then eventually find their own niche.
There's no arguing against the idea that we now have more games to choose from than we would if we never had that huge influx of players (and with them, more money). Unfortunately a LOT of those games are quite similar to each other. With WoW's abnormal success, it seems like a lot of games developed certain norms and standards with their game design. In other words, there was much less innovation. Basically, I'd rather have a choice between 3 vastly different games, than a choice between 10 games that are somewhat similar.
I think that's why it's hard for people to nail down what they mean by "oldschool." Because one of the things that made those games great is that they were so much different from each other. The timing doesn't work out perfectly I'm sure but think about UO, compared to Shadowbane, compared to SWG, compared to EQ. All vastly different games, but all of them oldschool. I think one of the things a lot of us are sick of is just the lack of innovation. I don't necessarily need UO 2.0, but I want games to be interesting and diverse again, not just another themepark with a different IP skin.
By the way, if you liked SWG you should look into The Repopulation.
If WoW didn't shake up the genre and turn it into a decade of themeparks, it's reasonable to assume that the genre would've come up with different changes and fixes to the problems you mentioned. Here's an example: Raph Koster, a founding developer of UO, has said that his solution to the "rampant PK" problem wouldn't have been to introduce Trammel, an exact replica of the game world except where you couldn't hurt or steal from other players. Koster said that he thinks UO's next natural step would've been towards more organic solutions and improvements such as player cities and sieging.
Well I will point out that the "oldschool vs modern" or "sandbox vs themepark" argument is discussing the biggest and most defining features of a game. But in a discussion where you're comparing one specific thing to another, it's easy to make the thing you're arguing against look like it's basically just pure shit. In reality, I would play WoW before I'd play FIFA 2013, Farmville, Angry Birds, etc.
I'm sure I'm guilty of overstating the negative impact WoW has had on the genre, but I think that's just what happens when you have people arguing over things they love. Everything just becomes hyperbolic.

Whether or not they think the genre is dead or not wasnt what I said. When over half and still trending pay zero dollars, isnt that perceived value correlated with quality and service?
Or how can the value of something fall (is this even questionable with f2p becoming more prevalent) and the quality and or service remain the same or be better? You don't see a growing trend in gamers thinking mmorpgs are cheap disposable entertainment?

I could use the marketers own words to describe the shift. "much too much reading. What players want is kill, get treasure, repeat." You guys really want to go there?
The virtual world with the game built around it. There was never a reason to abandon that, unless they wanted to give all their customers to other platforms.

It really is a pretty good analogy for the problem with 'old games were the bestest'. Selective memory hard at work.
(I remember a handful of 70s bands quite fondly, too; without forgetting the 70s included Disco and all kinds of other musically revolting dreck.)
Jump to light speed does look ancient and it's gameplay was nothing to brag about when compared to its newer version. Being able to fly from planet to planet as well might have been neat back then, but compared to options today, it sounds so cheap. Who the hell would want to fly in space in multi-person ships?
You guys are right as usual. I could go on and on, but I dont want to be embarrassed by all the new ways in which newer games own the old ones. So ill stop.

Can I be frank? I'm distressed by the low quality of public prayer that is being heard in too many worship services today. Too often, prayer is used as a transition from one event to another. But what if the pastoral prayer was (as some like to say) a main event?
When Solomon dedicated the temple, a large part of his public leadership was a quite pastoral prayer. He knelt and said, "Lord, there is none like you … you've kept your promises … please give attention to my prayer … may you hear the prayer your servant prays toward his place … deliver us when we've been defeated … teach us the way to live … help us to walk in your ways … when we sin, please forgive."
This is not a lightweight prayer. It takes in everybody in the crowd. As he opens the gates of the temple, the king (little k) is interceding to the King (big K) on behalf of all who will come to worship.
I love to be in worship when young men and women are leading. And many of them lead us so well. But when they come to the place where prayer is appropriate, the substance of the prayer sometimes reveals a person who has hardly thought for a minute what they are going to say next. If the music was done like the praying, we'd probably switch bands rather quickly.
"God … we just want to thank you for this day … that we just could … just … sing to you … that we could … just … love you."
Well meant, those words. But they lack thought; they lack power, and they fail to lodge themselves in the souls of their hearers. The aged one losing control of his life who is listening for assurance. The sinner who is listening for hope. The addict who listens for deliverance. And the joyful ...

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Coyotes acquired center Matthew Lombardi from the Maple Leafs on Wednesday for a fourth-round pick in the 2014 draft. Lombardi played for the Coyotes from 2008-10, tallying a career-high 19 goals and 34 assists in 78 games during the 2009-10 season. He missed most of the 2010-11 season due to a concussion and then had eight goals and 10 assists in 62 games for Toronto last season. We are very pleased to bring a player like Matthew back to our team, said Coyotes general manager Don Maloney. Matthew is a very strong skater who will add quickness and skill to our lineup. He is an intelligent center who will be a great addition to our team and provides us with added depth at the center position. The 30-year-old Lombardi has 97 goals and 157 assists in 508 NHL games, including a stint with the Flames. He's also played in 40 career playoff games, posting three goals and 13 assists. The Coyotes have been actively seeking forward help over the offseason, par...

We urge them to do so with vigor, but also with a keen sense of the limits of political scandal.
The entire GOP field started courting South Carolina with vigor months ago.
His wife, Gertrude, pronounced Florida a "vampire" that sucked away their wealth and vigor.
c.1300, from Anglo-French vigour, Old French vigor, from Latin vigorem (nominative vigor) "liveliness, activity, force," from vigere "be lively, flourish, thrive," from PIE *wog-/*weg- "be lively or active" (see vigil).

The issue will also top the agenda at the upcoming third annual Solar Arabia Summit to be held in Riyadh from September 29-30
Saudi Arabia, world's largest oil exporter, aims to meet one-third of its energy demands by using renewable energy by 2032, setting aside a budget of $109 billion for achieving the goal.
The oil-rich Gulf Kingdom gave details of its plans in a series of documents containing the revised National Energy Plan, released by the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy.
According to the documents, in addition to solar power, Saudi Arabia is looking at using nuclear energy, geothermal energy and wind power to fulfill its ambitious target of producing 54 GW of energy through renewable resources in the next two decades.
The issue will also top the agenda at the upcoming third annual Solar Arabia Summit to be held in Riyadh from September 29-30.
Here, international and regional renewable energy experts, will discuss the key challenges faced by the Kingdom in the area and steps towards overcoming them.
"High level plans are already in place but the major challenge in Saudi Arabia lies in the absence of a detailed time-line for a clear and gradual shift to renewable energy in the country and the slow adoption and advancement in renewable energy initiatives," said Rasheed M Alzahrani, CEO, Riyadh Valley Company.
The experts at the summit will be joined by 250 Saudi Arabian energy stakeholders to have one-to-one business meetings with at least 40 international solution and service providers in the field of renewable energy.

How on earth do you read while diffusing your hair upside down!?!
Hee, hee, I sit on the edge of the tub, put the book (now eReader - LOVE IT!!!) on the floor and read while I diffuse. It's super great. Takes the boredom of diffusing away and gives me nearly an hour of uninterrupted reading in the morning. Since I have to get up so bloody early to do my dumb hair I can at least have some fun while doing it!
The great thing about the eReader is I now don't have to hold the book open with my toes!

Despite First Loss, The Woodlands Still No. 1 in USA Today/NFCA High School Top 25
STARKVILLE, Miss. - Championship weekend has arrived in the State of Texas. The Woodlands is one of four finalists competing for the Class 5A title. While the Highlanders are trying to close that deal, The Woodlands remain No. 1 in this week's USA Today/NFCA High School Top 25, which was released Thursday by the Association.
In Friday's semifinal round, The Woodlands (42-1) will face unranked Pearland (35-13), while No. 4 Plano (39-4) will face unranked O'Connor (33-4). The semifinal winners meet Saturday in a single game for the state championship. The Woodlands advanced to this round by taking two of three games in a regional final showdown with Tomball. Despite the first loss of 2011, the Highlanders still paced the national rankings for a 10th straight week.
The Top Five remains unchanged this week. No. 2 Canyon del Oro (Arizona, 34-1) is Class 4A, Division I state champion in Arizona. No. 3 Gulliver Prep (Florida, 30-2) is Class 3A state champion in Florida. No. 4 Plano remains alive in Texas, while No. 5 Kaukauna (Wisconsin, 22-0) keeps plugging away on a perfect regular season.
Also of note this week, No. 8 Alexander Central (29-1) and No. 11 North Davison (27-1) will meet for the North Carolina Class 4A state championship. North Davidson is the defending state champion in that competition.
The USA Today/NFCA Top 25 is compiled by state representatives from across the country. Records for this week's poll include all games played through May 29, 2011.

Sony is in the midst of its marketing blitz for the comic book sequel, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance – with multiple TV spots and featurettes having been released, in the hope of heightening anticipation for Nicolas Cage's second round as the super-powered motorcyclist clad in (often, melted) black leather, Johnny Blaze.
You can check out more than a dozen images from the film by scrolling through the gallery above – or, continue on for more information (and early analysis) of the movie, along with higher-defintion versions of the above pics.
Besides the in-demand Elba (Thor, this summer's Prometheus) and the revered Hinds (Munich, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), the Spirit of Vengeance cast also includes fan-favorites like Highlander star Christopher Lambert as the tattooed (trecherous?) Methodius and Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as a fellow monk – along with Johnny Whitworth (3:10 to Yuma, Limitless) playing dual parts as the human criminal Carrigan, as well as the vicious supernatural creature Blackout.
Get a better look at all of the aforementioned Spirit of Vengeance cast members in the gallery below:
Directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Gamer, Crank) have pulled out all the insane filmmaking stops for Spirit of Vengeance, which looks to feature loads of gritty action, ingeniously dangerous camerawork, and improved effects (when it concerns the Rider's ability to unleash fiery mayhem upon his enemies). However, the film's storyline reads as being as generic a variation on the "super-powered character must find the strength to be a true hero" narrative as they come – and, according to early screening reactions, it plays out that way too. Best to not expect much more than a pure shut-your-brain-off thrill ride here, for that reason.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance hits 2D and 3D theaters in the U.S. on February 17th, 2012.

Toll Brothers offering "quick build' estate home in Belle Lago
Toll Brothers is offering for sale a new Quick Build estate home. The Aragon design at Belle Lago, a community of single-family homes on Estero Parkway in Estero, is nearing completion. Quick build homes are those with all permits in place and ready to begin construction when the buyers complete their final selections, offering the advantage of an earlier move-in date.
The Aragon's single-story design includes a master bedroom suite, two guest bedrooms — each with a full bath — a study and a powder room bath. The home has 3,120 air-conditioned square feet of living area and a total of 4,397 square feet.
"The Aragon has been a consistently popular design," said John McDonald, project manager for Toll Brothers.
Homes at Belle Lago include stainless steel appliances; granite countertops in the kitchen with undermount sinks; 42-inch upper cabinetry and raised panel, maple wood full overlay cabinetry in the kitchen; marble counter tops and listello border tile in the master bath; 18-by-18-inch floor tile; wood shelving throughout all closets and kitchen pantry; an 18-light impact glass front door; and a screened lanai with brick pavers.
"Buyers may also choose from thousands of selections at our Regional Design Studio to personalize their homes," McDonald added.
Belle Lago's community amenities include a grand clubhouse with four Har-Tru clay tennis courts, a half-court basketball court, a resort-style swimming pool, a multi-purpose room, fitness center, aerobics studio, library/craft room, game room, card/TV lounge, and locker rooms. Walking trails wind throughout the community, its nature preserves, and five parks.
In addition to the on-site amenities, residents of Belle Lago may become members of Estero County Club at the Vines for a special rate. A private cart path allows Belle Lago residents to drive their own golf carts directly to the course for a round of golf or dinner at the club.
Belle Lago will consist of 447 single-family homes when completed. Fourteen home designs are available, priced starting in the upper $300,000s. Thirteen designs feature a first-floor master suite. A designer-furnished model and other move-in ready homes are available for viewing.
To reach Belle Lago from Interstate 75, take Exit 123, Corkscrew Road west to Three Oaks Parkway. Turn right and proceed north to Estero Parkway. Make a left, heading west, travel one mile to the Belle Lago entrance on the right. Online at BelleLago.com.

Economic Progress Report - 2007 EU-US Summit
A 2007 status report on European Union and United States economic cooperation. Includes EU-US cooperation on intellectual property rights, environmental protection, reduction in trade barriers, energy security, and air transport.
At the 2006 EU-U.S. Summit in Vienna, we committed to redouble our efforts to promote economic growth and innovation and reduce the barriers to transatlantic trade and investment by implementing all aspects of the 2005 Initiative to Enhance Transatlantic Economic Integration and Growth (2005 Economic Initiative). We endorsed the new Action Strategy for the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights, and agreed to build on progress of the High Level Regulatory Cooperation Forum and expand implementation of our Roadmap for EU- U.S. Regulatory Cooperation and Transparency. We pledged to intensify efforts to conclude a first stage Air Transport Agreement.
We agreed to reinforce our strategic energy cooperation to support diversification of energy sources and supplies, secure our energy infrastructure, promote market-based energy security policies, speed development of new lower-pollution and lower-carbon technologies, and accelerate investment in cleaner, more efficient use of fossil sources and renewable sources. We agreed to conduct an annual strategic review of EU-U.S. energy cooperation. We also agreed to establish a EU-U.S. High Level Dialogue on Climate Change, Clean Energy and Sustainable Development to build on existing initiatives in the areas of climate change, biodiversity loss and air pollution and to advance implementation of the G8 Gleneagles Plan of Action for Climate Change, Clean Energy and Sustainable Development.
We welcomed progress in these areas and discussed ways to intensify our efforts on intellectual property rights, innovation and removal of regulatory barriers to trade and investment at the second informal EU-U.S. Economic Ministerial in November 2006 in Washington.
This report notes areas of progress made over the past year to implement our multi-annual, broad economic program under the Economic Initiative, per our agreements on energy and climate and in other areas of transatlantic cooperation.
Key Accomplishments
After four years of negotiations, on March 2 we concluded a comprehensive, first-stage Air Transport Agreement, which will create benefits for carriers, airports, workers, consumers, communities and economies on both sides of the Atlantic.
We have made significant progress on the implementation of the Roadmap for Regulatory Cooperation, including advancing the OMB- European Commission Dialogue on good regulatory practices, namely work on impact assessment, and advancing cooperation on pharmaceuticals, medical devices, automotive safety and consumer product safety.
We led negotiations on a substantial revision of the text of the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA), which was provisionally approved by the WTO Government Procurement Committee on December 8, 2006.
We also made major strides in strengthening our energy and climate cooperation, holding the first High Level Dialogue on Climate Change, Clean Energy and Sustainable Development (HLD), launching working groups on biofuels and energy efficiency, finalizing renewal of the EU-U.S. ENERGY STAR agreement, and holding the first annual review of our strategic energy cooperation, which examined shared geopolitical energy security goals, energy technology cooperation, and the potential for new work on biofuels, energy efficiency, carbon capture and storage, promotion of supply diversification, and cooperation to increase energy security in third countries.
Regulatory Cooperation
Since the June 2006 Summit, we have focused cooperation primarily on intensifying work on a broad range of sector-specific activities identified in the 2005 Roadmap for Regulatory Cooperation and Transparency and deepening the dialogue on good regulatory practices between the U. …

Dodgers, Braves look to regain their edge in NLDS
ATLANTA It's been a while since either team played a truly meaningful game.
The Los Angeles Dodgers took control of the NL West with an amazing 2 1-2-month stretch and could let off the gas over the final weeks.
The Atlanta Braves won the East going away, their commanding lead not at all threatened by a losing record over the final month.
Now, it's time to get serious again.
They meet Thursday night in Game 1 of the NL division series.
"I don't think we necessarily let up," Dodgers infielder Michael Young said after a workout at Turner Field. "In our situation, we had to get some guys healthy. A couple of guys needed a couple of days off, so we gave it to them. Now we're ready to roll."
Despite having some room for error, the Dodgers are far from healthy going into the playoffs.
Slugger Matt Kemp is out for the postseason with an ankle injury, while outfielder Andre Ethier will likely be limited to pinch-hitting duties because of his own ankle issues. He hasn't played in the field since Sept. 13.
While Ethier took part in the workout, he ruled out any chance of playing in the field.
"The ankle is getting better every day," he said. "It's not as fast as we want, but it's definitely on the timetable that we knew going in. Every day that it doesn't get more sore and set me back is a good day."
The Dodgers certainly won't get any sympathy from the Braves, who lost seven players to season-ending injuries.
Atlanta was bolstered by unlikely contributors such as Evan Gattis, who made the team as a non-roster player in the spring, hit 21 homers and paced all NL rookies with 65 RBIs. He's expected to bat cleanup against Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (16-9, 1.83 ERA) in the series opener.
Gattis is not alone. The Braves playoff roster is filled with guys who no one would've expected just a few months ago. Journeyman Elliot Johnson, acquired off waivers in August, will start at second base. Veteran pitcher Freddy Garcia, purchased from Baltimore late in the season, is set to start Game 4 if the best-of-five series goes that far. Rookie David Hale, who made two September starts after the rosters expanded, made the bullpen as a long reliever.
"We got a lot of contributions from a lot of guys who, coming into the season, a lot of people didn't expect," catcher Brian McCann said.
There also were some huge disappointments. Three-time All-Star second baseman Dan Uggla hit just .179 and didn't even make the 25-man squad, despite 22 homers. B.J. Upton was demoted to a backup role in the outfield after batting .184 with nine homers and 26 RBIs.
With Kemp out and Ethier hurting, the Dodgers are counting on veterans such as Young, Skip Schumaker and Jerry Hairston to step up. Plus, they have one of the most exciting - and sometimes exasperating - rookies in the game, 22-year-old Yasiel Puig, who batted .319 with 19 homers and 42 RBIs.

Williams has recently argued that the most accurate means for quantifying the encephalization of humans and other adult primate species requires the use of Lapicque's universal exponent of 0.28 in Snell's equation of simple allometry. Since Lapicque's slope was derived from various vertebrate groups, this equation may potentially be universally applicable for determining relative adult vertebrate encephalization and intelligence.
Encephalization may also refer to the tendency for a species toward larger brains through evolutionary time. Anthropological studies indicate that bipedalism preceded encephalization in the human evolutionary lineage after divergence from the chimpanzee lineage. Compared to the chimpanzee brain, the human brain is larger and certain brain regions have been particularly altered during human evolution. Most brain growth of chimpanzees happens before birth while most human brain growth happens after birth.
In 2004, Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman proposed that early Homo were scavengers that used stone tools to harvest meat off carcasses and to open bones. They proposed that humans specialized in long-distance running to compete with other scavengers in reaching carcasses. It has been suggested that such an adaptation ensured a food supply that made large brains possible.
More encephalized species tend to have longer spinal shock duration.

As of Wednesday, October 19, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
SNELVILLE -- With everything hanging in the balance in Game 5 of its Class AAAAA state volleyball second-round matchup against Etowah, Brookwood was nine points away from elimination and a sudden end to the season.
But a common theme started to ring true for the Broncos -- play to practice tomorrow.
Riding that wave of emotion, Brookwood rallied from a 6-2 deficit in that fifth and deciding game to win 13 of the next 18 points for a 15-11 win and a berth in the Elite Eight on Saturday.
"We played (Etowah) earlier this season and they worked us over in the final game, 15-6," said Brookwood head coach Brian Welsch. "So I had to remind our team that we win and we practice tomorrow -- we lose and we stay home. We talked about that last week, yesterday and we talked about it tonight. It was as simple as that. Calm down, make the pass, play our game and make the comeback."
Brookwood and Etowah had split the first four games of the best-of-five match with Brookwood claiming Games 2 and 3 (27-25 and 25-18), while Etowah had taken Games 1 and 4 (25-17 and 25-22) to set up the exciting winner-take-all Game 5.
Etowah (30-21), ranked No. 5 in the state, took an early lead in Game 5 as the Eagles raced out to 6-2 advantage by serving well and coming up with the crucial point.
But Brookwood (38-11) reeled off five of the next six points to pull even at 7-7.
From there, the Broncos had the confidence and the game to take the match.
Tied at 8-8, Sam Gratton got a block for a 9-8 Brookwood lead.
Then Erin Shelton came up with a kill for a 10-8 lead, forcing an Etowah timeout.
An error by the Eagles and a service winner by Colleen Thompson gave Brookwood a 12-8 lead.
But Etowah had one last push and the Eagles rolled off three straight points to cut the Brookwood lead to 12-11.
However, a pair of kills from Gratton and Shelton, respectively, put Brookwood ahead at 14-11.
And when the final Etowah shot sailed long past the base line, ninth-ranked Brookwood was on its way to the round of eight for a second consecutive year.
Shelton led the way for Brookwood with 20 kills and a block while Gratton had 10 kills and three aces.
Along with Thompson's eight kills, Maggie Collins added five blocks Hannah Kitchen came up with three aces for Brookwood.
Bethany Easom was solid with 50 assists and one big block in the match.
Jenna Wilt led Etowah with 23 kills and three blocks while Megan Emery had 12 kills and five blocks.
Jenna Lea added 16 kills, Taylor Kimber had seven blocks and Chelsea Brady had 41 assists and three blocks for the Eagles.

Defying ban on demonstration, pro-Palestinians burn Israeli flags in Paris
3,000 protesters take to streets of French capital; police on alert for more clashes at planned rally and possible showdown with Jewish Defense League.
Text size
To the up to 4,000 pro-Palestinians who protested in Paris this weekend, there was no question they had to defy the authorities' ban against their demonstration. Their appeal against the decision had been turned down by a court on Friday, but they showed up as planned outside Barbès metro station in the north of the French capital.

On hot summer days, like today, people line up at Wells Station and Reed in East Memphis to get a cool tasty treat. Lines are often to the street outside the bright pink and turquoise building that used to be a Sinclair Gas Station. You can still see remnants of the car wash here, but that's from a long time ago because Jerry's Sno Cone is in its forty-sixth year.
A Jerry's Sno Cone is not your typical snow cone in a cone-shaped cup with a rounded scoop of ice one top. No. It's served in a Styrofoam cup with a spoon.
Tensions are mounting yet again in regard to school consolidation. The Shelby County Commission filed suit to stop referendums on municipal schools, alleging that part of the intent is to create racially segregated schools. All parties will appear before federal Judge Hardy Mays on Monday.
Education is the key to social mobility in the United States. This fact was not lost on African Americans who were enslaved and later sharecroppers in the South. In the 1880s one-room schools sprouted up throughout the region. Many of them are now gone forever and just a distant memory. But Flagg Grove School in rural West Tennessee is an exception.
The Memphis City Council will vote on a budget for 2013 on Tuesday. Mayor AC Wharton's proposal includes a one-time property tax hike and cuts to city services, but council members have other ideas. Some council members want to cut taxes and dip into city reserves.
Solar energy only accounts for 2 percent of Tennessee Valley Authority's energy portfolio. That doesn't sound like much, but in 2008, the amount of solar produced in the state wasn't enough to power one house. By the end of this year, the Tennessee Solar Institute predicts a production increase of 21 megawatts. That's enough to power 2,100 homes. A lot of the solar construction you see around West Tennessee was indirectly funded with stimulus money.

Circle KRead MoreSo established is Circle K that even brand-new vehicles recognize what its red-and-white logo stands for?fuel, snacks, and everything else a car might need to keep powering down the road with its driver. Circle K's story starts back in 1951, when Fred Hervey bought three Kay's Food Stores in El Paso, Texas. Under his guidance, these three little shops grew into the more than 3,000 convenience stores that crouch on our nation's street corners today. After rolling up to a Circle K, drivers can pump their faithful roadsters full of high-octane fuel and send them skipping through a car wash to experience the cleansing touch of Blue Coral Beyond Green and Rain-X products. Then it's time to step inside the air-conditioned shop for a peek at the provisions. Rows of sodas hibernate behind glass doors, and snacks, candy, and their ATM guardians stand boldly out in the open. Some Circle Ks also offer theTake Away Fresh Caf?, which presents an appetizing lineup of healthy road fare including sandwiches, fruit cups, and fresh-cut vegetables. Drivers can gear up for a long drive with premium coffees or enjoy a cold Polar Pop, whose specially formulated cup keeps drinks colder thanks to the family of tiny snowmen trapped in its foam walls.705 W Baltimore StWilmington, IL US
Taqueria Rio GrandeRead MoreIf you haven't been to Taqueria Rio Grande, it's the perfect time to visit the acclaimed Mexican restaurant.

Keller's Farm StandRead MoreKeller's Farmstand was established only 21 years ago, but its roots run all the way back to the 19th century. Since emigrating from Bavaria in the mid-1800s, the Kellers have produced four generations of green-thumbed farmers, most of whom answered to the name Frank. It was during the reign of Franks I and II that the Kellers' first roadside produce stand opened, and the family's crop of grapes, raspberries, and potatoes helped their homestead survive the Great Depression. In the 1960s, brothers Frank III and Ray took over their father's farm and expanded the scope with corn, soybeans, oats, and hay grown on fields in Plainfield and Oswego. In 1991, Frank IV opened his first vegetable kiosk, and Kellers Farmstand was officially inaugurated. These days, the three farmstands are open during the spring, summer, and fall, welcoming guests with fresh-picked seasonal offerings and annual harvest festivals. Depending on the location and the time of year, guests might find heirloom-tomato plants and flowers in finely wrought hanging baskets, ears of the family's specialty sweet corn, or homegrown pumpkins, gourds, and winter squashes. Their news page keeps shoppers up-to-date on the latest goings-on, with regular updates on flower sales, rain delays, and the farm's ongoing battle with the mole men.721 W Route 30Plainfield, IL US
Manila GroceryRead MoreFor Asian-inspired fare at its best, Manila Grocery in Plainfield serves a unique blend of flavors to those searching for something a little less traditional.
