College athletes can unionize, federal agency gives Northwestern University football players ok
CHICAGO (AP) -- In a ruling that could revolutionize college sports, a federal agency has given football players at Northwestern University the green light to unionize.
Wednesday's landmark ruling by a regional director of National Labor Relations Board means the players are deemed employees under federal law and so can create the nation's first college athletes' union.
Union lawyers argued the Big Ten school's football players are part of a commercial enterprise that generates hefty profits through their labor.
The NCAA, Big Ten Conference and the private school vehemently opposed the union drive. Northwestern argued that college athletes are students and can't be put in the same category as factory workers.
The ruling in Chicago by director Peter Ohr can be appealed to the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Six Reasons to Love This Seemingly Unlovable World Series MatchupJared Wickerham/Getty Images
This is not a great World Series pairing for neutral fans. Scrappy underdogs Pittsburgh, Tampa, Cleveland, and Oakland are out. Cincinnati lasted one game, despite fielding one of baseball's best offenses. The ebullient Dodgers are gone, and with them the postseason's best pitcher (Clayton Kershaw) and most intriguing player (Yasiel Puig). No more lightning-rod Braves, no more outstanding and well-rounded Tigers.
We're left with two very good but very vanilla teams. And the matchup is as bland as the clubs: We've seen this show not only in 1946 and 1967, but as recently as 2004. In the past 10 years, the Red Sox and Cardinals have combined for 11 LCS appearances, five pennants, and four World Series. This isn't just a remake; it's Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, and that makes it hard for baseball fans who aren't from New England or greater St. Louis to pick a team to support.
Luckily, there is something impartial observers can love about each of these teams.
Three Reasons to Root for the St. Louis Cardinals
1. St. Louis's Success Rewards Good Process. Anything can happen in a short series. Just ask the 2007 New England Patriots, who went undefeated in the regular season, then failed to win the Super Bowl. We know this implicitly, otherwise the greatest speech in sports-movie history wouldn't have been built on the premise that an inferior team sometimes wins. And the smaller the sample, the greater the chance of recording a result that goes against expectations. So if you've ever assaulted a stranger at a bar because he conflates the best team with the league champion, you want the Cardinals to win.
The Cardinals are the best-run organization in baseball, and perhaps in all of North American sports. They scout well, and they develop the players they scout better than any other team. They hardly ever make a mistake in free agency, bringing in Carlos Beltran for a song and locking up Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina while letting Albert Pujols walk at precisely the right moment. Less advanced civilizations would either burn St. Louis GM John Mozeliak as a witch or worship him as a deity. This kind of sustained excellence doesn't happen in sports very often, but if you want the best-constructed team to win, you'll root for the Cardinals.
2. This Is Carlos Beltran's Shot. Last week, Keith Law wrote about how certain players (including Beltran) who are widely considered "clutch" are simply good in all situations, high-pressure or not. It seems like Beltran, whose playoff résumé has only become more astoundingly good this year, is finally being noticed as the slam-dunk Hall of Fame candidate that he is.
As amazing as his playoff performances have been, Beltran is no Gil McDougald: He has never played in a World Series, and at 36 years old, he won't get too many chances after this.
3. The Red Sox Have Stupid Beards. Listen, beards are great. I've had a beard since the moment I could grow one, and I haven't even owned a razor since college. To paraphrase Edmond Rostand, know that I glory in this beard of mine, for a great beard indicates a great man: genial, courteous, intellectual, virile, courageous — as I am — and such as you, poor wretch, will never dare to be even in imagination.
But come on, guys. A few years ago, Jayson Werth decided to go fully biblical, and then Brian Wilson decided to go one step further, elevating the Karl Marx beard into an obnoxious artifact of cultural tone deafness that makes the idea of Justin Bieber playing an organ grinder in a Youppi costume while riding a unicycle seem like the model of dignified restraint.
The Red Sox apparently had some bad clubhouse juju last year, and if they all need to have some unifying thing to bring them together, more power to them. But real men don't look like savages. Seriously, when Dustin Pedroia's eye black gets runny, he starts to look like Robinson Crusoe. It's not charming or colorful. It's infantile. Don't encourage it.
Three Reasons to Root for the Boston Red Sox
1. These Are No Longer Those Annoying Red Sox. Before 2004, I was totally onboard with the Red Sox. I wasn't primarily a Boston fan, but the Sox were the foil to the Yankees, and it was hard not to feel for a franchise that had suffered so much heartbreak. Then came 2004, and a billion articles and the pink hats and Fever Pitch, and … actually, let's talk about Fever Pitch for a second.
Fever Pitch is based on a charming 1996 romantic comedy starring Colin Firth and Mark Strong, which is in turn based on Nick Hornby's book of the same name, which details the High Fidelity author's lifelong love of Arsenal FC and is the best sports memoir ever written. The Jimmy Fallon/Drew Barrymore vehicle that came out of the 2004 Red Sox is arguably the worst sports movie ever made, and perhaps the worst movie ever made on any subject.
So when I say that it's time to forgive the Red Sox for the mid-2000s, know that I don't take that declaration lightly. The Great Collapse of 2011 and the Beer and Chicken Affair that followed the team into 2012 caused Boston to dismiss most of its more objectionable players, leaving only five members who factored into the 2007 World Series on the team at all, and only one who was around in 2004. You might not notice this at first, because we've become used to seeing Shane Victorino, Koji Uehara, Mike Napoli, and John Lackey play in October for other teams, but this is almost a completely new squad, featuring several players who are easier to like than the last group of Red Sox. Including …
2. Koji Uehara. When I said earlier that John Mozeliak was either a witch or a demigod, I didn't mean to imply that he was capable of the kind of magic that has become the calling card of Boston's closer. Uehara, then 34, came over to the United States in 2009 and put in a pedestrian season as a starter for Baltimore, then gradually turned into the best reliever in baseball over the past four years. This season, in addition to throwing a hidden perfect game over four weeks in August and September in which he didn't allow a baserunner, Uehara struck out more than 11 batters for every one he walked, which is actually down, if you can believe it, from the 14-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio he posted last year.
Nobody in this series is better at his job than Uehara is, and because he's the closer, he pitches most when the Red Sox are winning. That seems like a good reason to want the Red Sox to win.
3. Reject the Narrative. I don't know if you watched the NLCS, but there was a lot of talk about the Cardinal Way and Playing the Game the Right Way, as the Cardinals struck a blow for team respect against the more exuberant Dodgers.
Now, if you actually take a second to look at how the Cardinals play, you'll find that they're not the stultified anhedonic creeps they're made out to be. But if St. Louis wins, you're going to read enough column inches about the triumph of the scrappy middle infielder to reach from here to the moon and back, and Shane Robinson will show up at Thanksgiving dinner. Nobody wants that. Go Sox.

Capcom embarrassed by 'Resident Evil: Revelaitons' cover typo
Capcom has apologised for releasing 90,000 copies of Nintendo 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations in the US with a spelling error on the spine. It also jokingly claims that a shrink-wrapped version of "Resident Evil: Revelaitons" could be a special edition, and part of a new company strategy.
Speaking to Game Informer in the States, Christian Svensson, one of Capcom's senior vice-presidents, explained that it had caused some concern internally.
"I can't even tell you how many people looked at that package and approved it," he said.
"Nintendo of America, Nintendo Japan, ESRB, I don't know how many people internally, and our guys in Japan. I can't come up with an excuse for it. It just happened. We're not happy about it.
"It's embarrassing. I can't really sugarcoat it."
However, he can see the funny side.
"There are only about 90,000 units that have the misprint. If you've got it and it's shrink-wrapped, that's a new special edition, that's our new strategy," he joked.
Resident Evil: Revelaitons (sic) was released in the US on 7 February 2012. The miss-spelt cover art has now been corrected.
Do you have a copy of the limited "special edition"? Or have you seen other games or movies with bad spelling errors on the cover? Let us know in the comments below...

A N A L Y S I S A N D C O M M E N T A R Y The Slayer Statute and Insanity Jennifer Piel, JD, MD, and Gregory B. Leong, MD It is common law that persons cannot benefit from their crimes. For this reason, most states have enacted slayer rules that prevent a killer from sharing in the victim's estate. However, terms in the slayer rules, such as willful and unlawful, can be difficult to apply, as illustrated by the situation in which a slayer is found not guilty by reason of insanity. The Washington Supreme Court has recently addressed whether a man who killed his mother and was then found not guilty by reason of insanity in criminal court can inherit a portion of his mother's estate. J Am Acad Psychiatry Law 38:258 – 62, 2010 There is a dictum in our society that one shall not admissions. He had diagnoses of paranoid schizo- benefit from his wrongdoing. In particular, no killer phrenia and Capgras syndrome. In Capgras syn- shall be allowed to benefit from having committed a drome, the affected individual harbors the delusion wrongful killing. This principle, carried through the that others, frequently a relative, have been replaced common law, is the rationale behind the slayer rules by impostors. Mr. Hoge had a long-standing delu- statutorily codified in many states, including Wash- sion that his mother was not in fact his mother but an ington.1 A slayer rule is a law that prohibits a killer impostor. Consistent with his diagnoses, Mr. Hoge from benefiting from the victim's death.

Trying to narrow down Tom Brady's best year is like trying to settle on your favorite season of "The Wire." There's really no wrong answer, and you can come up with a great argument for just about any one of them.
It seems unlikely that Brady's effort this year will be enough to take home a third MVP -- Aaron Rodgers' performance has made sure of that -- but he should get some votes, as the Patriots again have one of the best offenses in the league, thanks in large part to the efforts of Brady. The quarterback has them in the Top 5 in every major passing category, and if New England can win its last two regular-season games, the Patriots will clinch the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
Using a criteria based on overall statistical performance, late-game heroics, who he had in his supporting cast and overall intangibles, in this week's edition of The Hot List, we look at how this season stacks up against some of his others:
5. 2001: His first year as a starter wins a place on this list not because of what he was able to do statistically (his 264 completions, 2,843 passing yards and 18 touchdown passes that season are all career lows for the quarterback), but for his penchant for late-game heroics. He produced five game-winning drives, including two in the postseason, on the way to his first Super Bowl title. Along the way, the legend of Brady was born. His finest game of the season, at least from a statistical standpoint, came in his first home start against the Chargers on Oct. 14. In an overtime win against San Diego (the contest where he conducted his first game-winning drive) he went 33-for-54 for 364 yards and two touchdowns. It ended with his first Super Bowl title.
4. 2011: It's still in progress (he's got two regular-season games remaining), but for what he's done to this point, but still deserves a spot in his Top 5. After starting the year on fire -- he averaged 442 passing yards over the first three games -- he's cooled off a bit, but with the help of wide receiver Wes Welker and tight end Rob Gronkowski (both of whom are on the way to career-best seasons), the quarterback is on the verge of breaking Dan Marino's record for passing yards in a season, 5,084 yards. (Through 14 games, he has 4,593 yards -- 491 yards shy of the mark.) Statistically, his finest game to this point in the season came in the opener when he carved up the Dolphins, going 32-for-48 for a career-best 517 yards and four touchdowns, including a 99-yard scoring strike to Welker that got the 2011 campaign started with a bang. He won't end up winning his third MVP this season, but this year's numbers aren't too far off his two other MVP seasons.
3. 2006: Not so much for what he was able to do statistically, but for what he was given to work with, this season deserves a spot in the Top 5. Brady and the Patriots made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game with a collection of receivers that included Reche Caldwell, Ben Watson, Doug Gabriel and Chad Jackson. (If Brady hadn't thrown a pick on the final drive of the AFC Championship Game against the Colts, there's the likelihood that they would have made it all the way to the Super Bowl.) It was a strange year statistically for Brady, who had his highs (in an Oct. 30 win over the Vikings in the Metrodome, the quarterback went 29-for-43 for 372 yards and four touchdowns) and his lows (he was an awful 12-for-25 for 78 yards and zero TDs in a December loss to the Dolphins in Miami), but overall, it was a season where he did more with less better than any time in his career. In the end, Brady had a 63 percent completion rating (319-for-516) to go along with 3,529 passing yards, 24 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions.
2. 2007: If you're just looking at numbers, this was one of the best seasons of any quarterback in NFL history: Paired with Randy Moss, Brady led the league in completion percentage (69 percent), passing yards (4,806) and touchdown passes (50). He led a brutally efficient passing game that absolutely destroyed opposing defenses all season long on the way to a 16-0 regular-season record. The quarterback enjoyed several transcendent moments that year, but for sheer dramatics, nothing topped his performance in the regular-season finale against the Giants, when he was 32-for-42 for 356 yards and two touchdowns. His touchdown pass to Moss that set the record for most TD passes in a season (and allowed Moss to break the record for most TD catches in a season) is still imprinted in the minds of Patriots' fans everywhere: a 65-yard rainbow down the sideline. (Although we're also fond of Brady's surgical work in the divisional playoffs against the Jags where he went 23-for-26 for 267 yards and four touchdowns.)
1. 2010: While the numbers associated with this season weren't as gaudy as they were back in 2007, we gave his 2010 performance the top spot because of his amazing accuracy, as well as the fact that they changed many of the aspects of the passing game following the in-season trade of Moss and the re-acquisition of his old pal Deion Branch. In 492 pass attempts, Brady threw just four picks, and ended up with a 66 percent completion percentage and 36 touchdown passes to become the first unanimous MVP in the history of the league (his second MVP award). His five-game stretch from mid-November until mid-December should be placed under glass and studied by future generations: from the Nov. 14 game against the Steelers through a Dec. 12 win over the Bears, Brady went against some of the best defenses in the league and came away 118-for-164 with 1,572 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and no interceptions as New England won five straight. That works out to an average performance of 24-for-33 for 314 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. His best effort in that stretch like came in the win at Pittsburgh, where he was 30-for-43 for 350 yards, three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.

Debuting at this year's Fantasia International Film Fest, Adam Egypt Mortimer's Some Kind of Hate is instantly relatable to horror fans who may have grown up as outcasts or tormented in the hallways just for wearing black nail polish and a Suspiria T-shirt. It's not a story about feeling sorry for the victims of bullying; it's a supernatural tale where the ones who start out inflicting pain end up being the ones receiving it back tenfold. Comment?

Got some friends, a bit of money and a camera? Can't afford a proper lighting rig, a few tripods or a dolly? Well, don't fret! Just make a found footage horror flick! You don't even need much of a script! The 'found footage' style, when done properly, can undoubtedly be very effective in generating tension, genuine fear and some uniquely effective shocks. When paired with a good story, a few twists, turns and surprises, it can be the vehicle for some pretty impressive fright flicks - see the likes of Evidence , Home Movie , Atrocious , [REC] , The Bay , and even James Moran's Always Watching: A Marble Hornets Story for some decent examples.

Should I wait until after the baby shower to buy my baby stuff?
Hi ladies I have a question about buying thing for my lo.
Last edited 10/17/2012

Posted 10/16/2012
Yes. Unless you buy things from places that have longer return periods and you know you'll keep the receipts. The only things I bought before my shower was cloth diapers because I knew no one would buy those for me.
Posted 10/16/2012
I definitely am. Especially if you register. Everyone will know exactly what you want and there's no point in spending money on stuff that might get bought for you. That's why I think it's important to have the shower early enough to have the time to get everything you don't have.
Posted 10/16/2012
I would. Otherwise, you'll be stuck doing even more returns than you probably will have to do anyway from duplicates you get at the shower. Just not worth the time, IMO.
Plus, it'll be all the more exciting to open presents at the shower if you don't already have a housefull of baby stuff - it'll all be new and exciting!

Armed with two EL34 power tubes, the
TCT 50 features two footswitchable channels
with independent EQ, Gain, Drive, and
Volume controls (along with Shift, Smooth,
and Tight switches), a footswitchable Mix
function that lets you combine the channels,
and a clever Balance control that adjusts
the level in "combined" mode to allow for
a volume boost or cut.
The preamp section uses five 12AX7s,
one of which works in tandem with a highvoltage
FET (field effect transistor) in the
input stage to accomplish three things:
reduce noise, pump up the drive, and "provide
a more pentode-like tonality."
Another interesting feature is the Phase
switch, which reverses the phase of the
output stage. This is useful when using
the TCT 50 in a multi-amp setup where the
speakers in one amp may be out of phase
with those in another, causing a loss of low
end. You might also use the Phase switch
to change the acoustic coupling between
your guitar and the room in order to make
it easier to get feedback sustain.
Other global controls that affect the
power stage include Deep (enhances lowend
response), F'BK switch with "tight"
(more feedback) and "loose" (less feedback)
settings, and Edge, which is like a
presence control, but works with the type
of feedback selected via the F'BK switch).
As with all models in the TCT series,
the TCT 50's channels have identical controls,
but, like the TCT 35, Channel A is
"pre EQ" (i.e., like blackface Fender) and
Channel B is "post EQ" (like tweed Fender
or Marshall). So despite having similar
gain and voicing, each channel has its own
particular response curve. In general, I
found the best clean tones on channel A,
though it can also deliver a stout distortion
sound with excellent touch sensitivity.
The dynamic qualities of this amp are
very good and, again, the digital reverb is
a welcome feature.
For heavier and more sustaining tones,
channel B offers more aggression and punch,
as well as more saturation at high Gain and
Drive settings. By deploying the "tight" setting
on the F'BK and turning up the Deep
control, you can concoct some thoroughly
wicked metal tones. Here too, the EQ is
more effective than you typically find with
passive tone stacks, and Midrange control
is extremely useful for getting exactly the
right flavor of crunch. Depending on your
guitar and the kinds of tones you're going
for, the Shift, Tight, and Smooth switches
on both channels can really help to bring
the sounds in focus. For example, using the
Tight switch with a humbucker guitar can
enhance its low-end wallop, while a single-
coil bridge pickup will deliver a more
buttery lead tone with the Smooth switch
engaged. These functions respond differently
on both channels too, so it pays to
The TCT 50 is a loud mofo when you
crank up the master in full power mode,
and the 33 percent setting, which drops the
output appreciably enough to run the amp
hard on a small stage, is a welcome feature.
Albion has imbued the TCT 50 (and
TCT 100) with as many useful functions
as possible in order to obtain maximum
flexibility without adding more channels,
and the result is an easy-to-use amp that
can do just about anything you ask of it.

What's the minimum wage in Germany ? Probably 100 dollars an hour and they can hop on a bullet train and get to anywhere in Europe in 20 minutes and retire @40 & free health care & are allowed to drink as least a quart of beer on their lunch break. Free education 4 months of vacation a year. Meanwhile in California gasoline is so costly many are not going to work=net loss.
Black Diamond 20028740
Uuuhh...I assume your post was kinda ironic because it's so far from the truth. Here are some facts for you:
- We don't have a minimum wage in Germany. There are people that work for like 3 Euros/hour which is beyond ridiculous. An average worker might earn around 10 Euros/hour - before taxes
- It is true we do have so called bullet trains but they serve bigger cities only and in most cases you won't get anywhere far away within 20 mins. Plus a ride on such trains costs a shitload of money.
- Actually our retirement age is at 67 atm. It's very likely that people that are in their 30s right now will have to work until 70 or even longer.
- I don't know of any company that allows drinking alcohol during work (which includes lunch break) anymore
- It's true that basic education is free but if you want to study you'll have to pay a couple of hundred Euros per season depending on where you want to study.
- Most companies allow 30 days of vacation per year which amounts to like 1.5 months
so the boomer generation got all the good stuff and anyone born post 1984 is pretty much fucked ?
think you are fucked now > ?wait till the euroclowns have to pony up for euro militaries to keep boot on the middle east face without american help.
too keep hordes of economic refugees out from all over the world.
too keep capital both human and liquid from fleeing as well.
should be a good time , good time to have two huge moats between yourself and the rest of the vermin that is. god bless merica

My username is stupid. It was supposed to be Latin for "lucky bird" and ugh god I started this OKCupid when I was in college and pretentious. So forget it exists, unless dead languages turn you on then ~hey~.
I love cooking and baking. My Derby Pie makes believers question their god.
I recently started getting in shape and really looking for a hiking buddy once it cools down a bit outside.
I have literally the best dog. You should want to go on a date with me just to hang out with her.
I'm a nerd (of the Dungeons and Dragons, X-box playing, Doctor Who watching variety). I don't expect every guy I go on a date with to have a level 20 dwarf cleric up their sleeve, just like I won't know a single player on that NBA team you like (literally none of them).
