A new investigative series called "Legends," led by Sean Bean ("Game of Thrones") and Ali Larter ("Heroes"), is premiering on August 27th on Bravo, the network recently announced.
The show is based on the award-winning book by novelist Robert Littell and follows Martin Odum, a character who lives a life in shadows as an undercover agent working for the FBI's Deep Cover Operations (DCO) division. The series comes from the executive producers of "Homeland" and "24." For a sneak peek at LEGENDS, click here.
Following recent appearances at the Television Critics Association tour and San Diego Comicon, "Legends" has already generated social chatter with the hashtag #dontkillseanbean, homage to the grisly demise many of his past characters have met to date.
In the series premiere of "Legends," deep cover agent Martin Odum (Bean) returns to the FBI after an assignment infiltrating the Citizen's Army of Virginia (CAV), a domestic terrorist organization. He tries to re-connect with his estranged wife and son, put his life back together, and get the last "legend" behind him, but when the CAV announces an eminent attack, Martin must go back under in order to stop them. Also, a mysterious stranger confronts Martin to tell him that his whole life may be a deep cover legend and that everything he thinks he knows is a lie.
"Legends" begins August 27th at 9pm on Bravo.
TNT's newest series, "Legends," premieres next week, and we had the chance to join reporters in a press room roundtable at San Diego Comic-Con to find out what to expect. On Thursday, Aug. 7, we posted the video interview with Ali Larter, who plays Crystal McGuire.
Check out the video above or here. Plus, keep reading for the highlights from Larter about her character, an operative in the Deep Cover Operations (DCO) division who has a history with Sean Bean's Martin Odum.
"One of the things about this show is not only are they taking really kind of difficult, interesting storylines and weaving it into this great mythology, we also want to have fun while we're making it," the actress said. "This isn't just some dark, edgy show. It's fun to watch also."

Herd holds off Tigers, 38-28
HUNTINGTON — It certainly wasn't pretty, but Marshall University's football team got a much-needed home victory Saturday afternoon at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
Marshall nearly squandered a 24-point second-half lead, but got a timely sack from Cortez Carter to end a comeback attempt by Memphis in the Thundering Herd's 38-28 win.
Rakeem Cato finished the game 34 of 44 passing for 341 yards and four touchdowns, including the Herd's biggest play — a 28-yard touchdown pass to Davonte Allen on fourth down that set the final score prior to Carter's sack.
Marshall led 31-7 before Memphis scored 21 unanswered points to pull within three points with 9:56 left in the game.
After a 1-yard touchdown pass from Memphis quarterback Jacob Karam to Jesse Milleson made it 31-14, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty placed the ball at the 50-yard line for the kickoff.
Memphis surprised Marshall with an onside kick and cut the lead to 31-21 following Jai Steib's 2-yard plunge with 13:10 left.
After a three-and-out by Marshall, the Tigers executed a fake punt to perfection as punter Tom Hornsey hit Bobby McCain for 61 yards with the Herd in an all-out rush. Two plays later, Steib fumbled into the end zone and tackle Jordan Devey recovered for a touchdown that cut the lead to three.
Marshall built its lead in the third quarter after running 15 consecutive offensive plays on two drives following a recovery on a squib kick that hit an upback after Demetrius Evans' 25-yard scoring catch from Cato.
Seven plays later, the lead stood at 24 when fullback Devon Johnson caught the first touchdown pass of his career, a 9-yard play with 7:39 left in the third quarter.
Marshall took a 17-7 lead into the locker room at halftime after a bizarre play to end the second period.
Memphis was deep inside Marshall territory, but quarterback Jacob Karam tried to pitch the ball backward in the direction of an offensive lineman to avoid being sacked. The ball bounded around on the turf until Marshall's Deon Meadows picked it up near midfield. However, he was hit from behind and also lost possession with Memphis recovering.
The Tigers tried to call a timeout, but did not have any, resulting in a delay of game penalty. By rule, Marshall could take the option of running off 10 seconds, which ended the half because only eight seconds remained when the penalty occurred.
It was the most entertaining part of a relatively uneventful first half of play.
Marshall's defense played well in the first quarter, limiting Memphis to just 43 yards as the Herd jumped out to a 10-0 lead.
Gator Hoskins capped a 7-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown catch — his ninth TD of the season — for the game's first score.
After the Herd forced a Memphis punt, Justin Haig drilled a 41-yard field goal to forge the 10-point advantage.
Memphis got on the board on a 5-yard touchdown run by Jai Steib, capping a 14-play, 49-yard drive in which the Tigers converted a pair of fourth downs on the drive.
However, Cato answered the Memphis score by going 7-of-7 on the next drive. Remi Watson dove in from four yards out to set the halftime score. Watson's four yards were part of just 25 rushing in the opening half. The Herd finished with only 92 yards rushing in the game.

The Moyers Tigers, playing in the Antlers Festival, took on the Rattan Rams last Thursday. This would turn into a very exciting game for all the hometown fans. The Moyers Tigers would wear home team white. Rattan would score first, but Terrell Morgan ripped the net for 3 to give the Tigers the early lead. Tough rebounding under the boards on both sides and pressure defense by the Rams would make for a slow start. At 5:55 in the first the score was tied 5 to 5. With the Rams pressure defense it would take some pretty passes from Jake Dudley for some easy layups from Jake Mattingly and Brandon Slocum. After 1st period score was 15-10 in Moyers favor. The Rams would make a run in the second qtr and the Tigers couldn't keep possession of the ball.Â
Turnovers plagued the boys in white. Caleb Armstrong hit a 3 to keep the Tigers in the running with the Rams having the lead 26-23 at half. Jake Dudley hit a pull up jumper to get things rolling in the third and Colten Shrum converted a nice layup on a Dudley pass to keep things close 40-36 at the end of 3. Jake Mattingly got a hot hand in the 4th hitting 2 back to back 3's and snagged a steal to tie things up at 45-45 with minutes left. The lead would go back and forth a couple times in the last few minutes of the game.  Brandon Slocum ripped the net for a 3, with 5.5 seconds left the score was 50-50. The Rams inbounded the ball and hit a buzzer beater to beat the Tigers 52-50. It was a great game enjoyed by all. Â
Next up for the Tigers were the Battiest Panthers. The Lady Tigers would take to the court first and this would prove to be a good game. The Lady Tigers would have the lead 9-7 after one. Shelby Clark got hot at the free throw line to keep the Ladies in black ahead at half 19-14. Tanna Thomas started the third quarter off with a short range jumper. The Lady Panthers made a run late in the third and caught back up and the end of the third they were in the lead 25-24. Shelby Geary found her groove in the 4th to score 10. The Lady Tigers never gave up and fought the whole game with great defense, and Callie Winters kept up the board work. In the end, it was not quite enough, the Lady Tigers lost 41-36, this was tough loss. Shelby Geary scored 29, Shelby Clark with 5, Tanna Thomas with a pair.
The Tigers took on the Panthers last year in a district competition in a close match up, and this was a anticipated rematch.Â
Battiest put the first points on the board, but Jake Dudley made a great pass to find Jake Mattingly under the basket for a easy layup to tie things up. This was a quick paced game and the lead changed hands many times in the first few minutes of the game. Jake Mattingly got a slamming block and the momentum seemed to turn with the Tigers in the lead 17-15 after one. Zach Brittingham stayed busy under the boards giving the Tigers the opportunity to score. Brandon Slocum came up with a big block, and the Tigers had the lead 28-17 at the half. Caleb Armstrong ripped the net to start the third. Terrell Morgan found his sweet spot and let the 3's reign. Jake Dudley kept on the defensive pressure to keep the Tigers in the lead. The Panthers would make a run in the 4th qtr, but the Tigers held off the rally to beat the Panthers 59-46. Terrell Morgan and Jake Dudley tied to lead the scoring with 14, Brandon Slocum with 12; Jake Mattingly contributed 10 and Caleb Armstrong with 9. The Tigers will compete in the upcoming Tuska tournament this weekend.ÂView more articles in:

On Mt. Baldy: There is just a moment of light that opens when James moves forward out of the saddle. In the space between the saddle and his ass. Then it is gone. Then it is there again, but this time with a glimpse of blue sky with it. Gone again. This soon turns into a rhythm that is a flashing balance of light blue and dark. Always going up. Always forward. Always moving.
Portland, Oregon, Thursday: We started out giving thanks, Kyle and I, but as we drank on, that turned to high-fives and claps on the shoulders. Then it hit him, I think, right in the middle of his Thanksgiving Day speech, right in the middle of trying to get out what he was thankful for—the wondering of just what the hell we thought we were doing. And again later that evening, when I pulled up the Mt. Baldy ride profile, he did that thing of his where he bares his teeth and sucks in his breath at the same time: an expression of someone who knows that something unpleasant but unavoidable is coming. Suddenly I felt sorry for dragging him into this. To someone outside the sport, Kyle would appear to be a fit guy. Superfit maybe. He rides all the time. And downhill, mountain biking over terrain in which I contemplate walking my bike and often do, he shreds. So he has that confidence good riders get. But I knew he would be the last of us to finish Baldy. I knew what we were up against, and I knew pavement is not Kyle's forte. I have pushed him home a few times on rides that were a piece of cake for even the slowest of us roadies. But that did not mean he did not belong on this trip, that he did not offer something to the group. Without knowing exactly yet what it would be, I sensed that he would bring something essential to our ride. And he belonged, as well, for the same reason all of us did: We needed to do this. We were all feeling the tug of the road.
Pasadena, California, Friday: Cole's driveway was steep and awkward to navigate, and as I pulled the rental car in I remembered that this might be my last chance to be annoyed by it. He'd be moving out in a few weeks. He and I greeted each other as old friends, but he treats everyone like his old friend, with a firm handshake and eyes that twinkle and smile at you, as if he's been waiting for only you and you're finally here. I was glad he was going to do this ride. He needed it, too: That night when we went out to dinner, Aimee came along. When she sat on my side of the table, I tried to pretend this was not breaking my heart, and they did a good job of playing along.
Ben was the one to watch, I told them at dinner, as I'd said to Kyle, to James, to Garrett. To anyone who would listen. Ben could show you something different with every climb. You could learn just from watching him. The trick was to know where to look, to not get stuck staring at his hubs and his calves. They would just keep moving in and out, forward and back, and eventually away from you. You wanted to come off just a smidge, still connected but with some distance to your vision, and let him show you how to ride. Rocking forward, all of him, his shoulders, and his hands on the bar, letting you sit there on his wheel like it's a treat he knows you are getting. Watch him, I said, watch Ben. I was unable to fully explain what I meant, but no matter: The climb would sort it out.

Once upon a time, an
The couple wanted to have a party for their visiting guests to meet the few friends on 30A they had met. They didn't know what festivities happened on 30A for New Year's Eve but decided to host their party on the night before to avoid any conflicts.
They asked their few new friends to invite all their friends who they thought the couple needed to get to know.
Tom and Dana Saffel ended up with about 40 people at that first party nine years ago, all of whom became dear friends, and most return to celebrate with them every year.
One of their guests at that first party came up with the name "New Year's Adam," since "Adam" came before "Eve."
"We thought it was a great name and adopted it for future parties (held on Dec. 30)," said Dana.
The Saffels moved into their new home around Thanksgiving of 2005 and hosted their second annual New Year's Adam party as an "open house" for their friends to see their new home.
In recognition of that special event, they decided to ask everyone to dress up in "island black-tie" attire. Many of the men wore tuxedos and the women were all glamorous. The "island black-tie" attire has since become a tradition with some very creative interpretations ranging from board shorts and sandals with a tuxedo jacket to jeans and a tee shirt with a black bow tie.
The third year, in 2006, they decided to change it up and required everyone to where a hat — the wilder the better!
"I had intended for the hat requirement to be just that one year, but discovered that many folks on 30A were spending much of 2007 planning their hat for the upcoming party in December; so, now the hat requirement is a standard," said Dana. "Some folks even refer to the New Year's Adam party as the 'hat' party. Hats have ranged from a colander decorated with pipe cleaners and flashing lights to a Tiffany lamp shade to an ancient Chinese conical hat called a douli ... and everything in between.
This New Year's Adam 2012 party saw around 100 guests showing up sporting their most creative chapeaus.
"It's amazing how creative our friends can be when they have 12 months to plan for a party!"

- SQUIRRELnovo : de novo design of a PPARalpha agonist by bioisosteric replacement (2009)
- Shape complementarity is a compulsory condition for molecular recognition [1]. In our 3D ligand-based virtual screening approach called SQUIRREL, we combine shape-based rigid body alignment [2] with fuzzy pharmacophore scoring [3]. Retrospective validation studies demonstrate the superiority of methods which combine both shape and pharmacophore information on the family of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). We demonstrate the real-life applicability of SQUIRREL by a prospective virtual screening study, where a potent PPARalpha agonist with an EC50 of 44 nM and 100-fold selectivity against PPARgamma has been identified. SQUIRREL molecular superposition is based on a graph-matching routine [4] and allows partial matching. We used this advantage for searching for bioisosteric replacement suggestions in a database of molecular fragments derived from a collection of drug-like compounds [5]. The bioisosteric groups suggested by our tool SQURRELnovo, can be used for ligand-based de novo design by a human expert. Using the fibrate derivative GW590735 [6] as query, we designed a novel lead structure by substitution of the acidic head group and hydrophobic tail. The synthesis and following testing in a cell-based reporter gene assay [7,8] revealed that the designed structure activates PPARalpha with an EC50 of 510 nM.
- Inhibitors of Helicobacter pylori protease HtrA found by "virtual ligand" screening combat bacterial invasion of epithelia (2011)
- Background: The human pathogen Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a main cause for gastric inflammation and cancer. Increasing bacterial resistance against antibiotics demands for innovative strategies for therapeutic intervention. Methodology/Principal Findings: We present a method for structure-based virtual screening that is based on the comprehensive prediction of ligand binding sites on a protein model and automated construction of a ligand-receptor interaction map. Pharmacophoric features of the map are clustered and transformed in a correlation vector ('virtual ligand') for rapid virtual screening of compound databases. This computer-based technique was validated for 18 different targets of pharmaceutical interest in a retrospective screening experiment. Prospective screening for inhibitory agents was performed for the protease HtrA from the human pathogen H. pylori using a homology model of the target protein. Among 22 tested compounds six block E-cadherin cleavage by HtrA in vitro and result in reduced scattering and wound healing of gastric epithelial cells, thereby preventing bacterial infiltration of the epithelium. Conclusions/Significance: This study demonstrates that receptor-based virtual screening with a permissive ('fuzzy') pharmacophore model can help identify small bioactive agents for combating bacterial infection.
- Spherical harmonics coeffcients for ligand-based virtual screening of cyclooxygenase inhibitors (2011)
- Background: Molecular descriptors are essential for many applications in computational chemistry, such as ligand-based similarity searching. Spherical harmonics have previously been suggested as comprehensive descriptors of molecular structure and properties. We investigate a spherical harmonics descriptor for shape-based virtual screening. Methodology/Principal Findings: We introduce and validate a partially rotation-invariant three-dimensional molecular shape descriptor based on the norm of spherical harmonics expansion coefficients. Using this molecular representation, we parameterize molecular surfaces, i.e., isosurfaces of spatial molecular property distributions. We validate the shape descriptor in a comprehensive retrospective virtual screening experiment. In a prospective study, we virtually screen a large compound library for cyclooxygenase inhibitors, using a self-organizing map as a pre-filter and the shape descriptor for candidate prioritization. Conclusions/Significance: 12 compounds were tested in vitro for direct enzyme inhibition and in a whole blood assay. Active compounds containing a triazole scaffold were identified as direct cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitors. This outcome corroborates the usefulness of spherical harmonics for representation of molecular shape in virtual screening of large compound collections. The combination of pharmacophore and shape-based filtering of screening candidates proved to be a straightforward approach to finding novel bioactive chemotypes with minimal experimental effort.

Automated Over-Quota Message:
Why do I get "over-quota" messages when my INBOX is empty?
Unfortunately the Exchange Mail Service Web Interface (also known as OWA) has several built-in automatic features which can cause messages to build up without your knowledge.
First a copy of ALL messages that you SEND are automatically saved within the SENT ITEMS folder by default.
Second, any items you delete from a folder (like INBOX or SENT ITEMS) are sent to the DELETED ITEMS folder but are NOT automatically removed from that folder. Thus all message items really take TWO deletes to remove. Your first delete moves the item to the deleted items folder, then you must EMPTY the deleted items folder to completely remove the item from your mailbox.
Remember that using theSAVE button within the NEW message window, will save a copy of the current UN-SENT message into the DRAFTS folder. This message should either be sent at a later time or removed manually from that folder if you are not going to send it.
If you don't explicitly manage [empty] your DELETED, DRAFTS and SENT ITEMS folders as you work; you will eventually run out of space.

We're entering an incredibly busy few weeks on the Central Oregon music scene, especially considering it's mid-October, a time when local stages used to go virtually quiet. No more.
So I recruited a little help to cover everything going on this week. Below, you'll find links to our interviews with the rapper Afroman, the newgrass legend David Grisman and indie-folk upstarts The Builders and The Butchers, plus briefs on a ton of other artists. I hope you'll click around and check it out, or better yet, grab a print copy of The Bulletin today and flip through GO! Magazine.
Afroman returns to the Domino Room Sunday. My colleague Rachael Rees chatted with him about who inspires him, how he gets ready for shows, and what it feels like when many people only want to hear one of your songs a decade after it was a hit.
GO!: Why do you keep coming back to Bend?
Afroman: I love my fans. I have some strongholds in America … because of people who heard "Because I Got High." It's been 10 years since "Because I Got High" and cities like Bend are keeping me in the game. Bend has kept with me past "Because I Got High" and is familiar with all my songs.
GO!: What is your ritual before you get on stage to perform?
A: I like to get to town early and get into the mood of hip-hop and what it means to me. I don't want to shortchange my fans so I smoke blunts and play music while I pull out my best clothes. I go to the barber shop. I do my nails. (I) put on my cologne and buy jewelry cleaner to drop my big chains in. It's about quality, looking good and rapping good.
This interview is full of pure gold. You really should click here and read it.
David Grisman was here only a year ago, but that was with his quintet in a seated venue. Tonight, he's back with his bluegrass band at the Domino Room, where you can dance the night away to the Dawg. Grisman was kind enough to answer a few questions via email, and David Jasper wrote a story about him.
It's quite clear that appreciating the roots of bluegrass is important to Grisman. He says that when he first heard the form, it was initially "the banjo, played in the style of Earl Scruggs, that blew my head off.
"I think bluegrass is a perfectly orchestrated style of instrumental and vocal music, with real roots in the stories and lives of the people," he said. "It elevates folk music to a virtuosic status and runs the gamut of human expression. Plus, the history of bluegrass is something that occurred in my lifetime, and I had the opportunity to witness it happening and meet and even play with many of its great architects."
Click here to read it all.
Portland folk-rock band The Builders and The Butchers return to Bend next week to play two shows at McMenamins Old St. Francis School. Rachael Rees asked them a few questions via email, too, and frontman Ryan Sollee responded.
Sollee and his band mates — who came together playing on the streets of Portland — look to the past for both lyrical and musical inspiration, striving for authenticity and sounds that ignore today's emphasis on commercial viability.
"I have no problem with pop and major radio artists altering their sound digitally. They are playing to an audience that obviously doesn't care," Sollee said. "Where I get frustrated is in the indie world when vocals are obviously (Auto-Tuned). It just doesn't sound very honest to me."
I hope you'll read the whole thing by clicking here.

Taste Test: A Guide to Black Pepper
There's no shortage of places to get your black pepper from; as one of the world's most popular spices, it's grown all across the world's spice regions, from India to Indonesia to Ecuador and Brazil. We don't talk much about terroir when it comes to spices, but it's worth thinking about. After all, peppercorns are fruits just like grapes, and soil, growing conditions, and variety of peppercorn are all going to have an impact on flavor profile. How strong are these flavor differences, and how do they pan out with food? We tasted peppercorns from seven major growing regions to find out. More

the word of God helps us to grow up to be spiritually minded. When I say spiritually minded I mean to, think on things that are good, (Phil. 4:8) and have the fruits of the Spirit. CHB
There was a time when I was led by the doctrine of men. Then there came a time when I used natural logic to think for myself about the Scriptures. It led me to a place that made little sense and gave me little peace. But, these were necessary steps. They painted a background, tilled the soil and it is very apparent to me that it was needed for my growth. During this time, I was discouraged to listen to the inner light because if it disagreed with the doctrines of men then it couldn't possibly be right, and would put me in danger of hellfire. But, thankfully God has freed me of that. I am able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit in me. And I accept what I hear as truth. This influences the way I see Scriptures. The Bible is very important to me. What is being birthed in me doesn't conflict with Scriptures, but it does change the way that I read them. It changes my understanding of them.
I thought I'd been very clear that I don't believe all we need is the written. But someone commented tonight in a PM something that caused me to think, well, maybe I've not always been clear enough. So let me be clear. I've never said all we need is the written, and that's not what I believe. I believe the written (when given), the spoken (when provided) and the revealed (when blessed) work together.
2 more things lol. 1. never on what's written, at all? And 2 points about that; How did you come to know anything about God? Didn't it have to do with either someone reading scripture and repeating it to you, and/or you reading it yourself? And, what about this, just as written; "love your enemies"? The way I see it, I can base not only a doctrine on that, but what I believe on that, and even a way of life on that. Now, do I need the Holy Spirit to illuminate it for and in me? Absolutely! Do I need the Holy Spirit to teach me what that means, what it looks like, in what situations does it apply? Absolutely! Do I need the Holy Spirit to enable to me to do it, and to remind me when I'm not and when I need to? Absolutely!!! But can I base a belief on Jesus saying, in black/red and white, transcribed as written in letter, "love your enemies"? Absolutely! On the other hand, can I dismiss the Spirit and spiritual, only read the letters, and miss God? Well, if I didn't already know Him (by Him knowing me), yes. IMO, that's how they read the letters that "killed" them - because they missed Jesus, Who is the Essence of relationship. Which brings me to point 2. I personally see "belief" and "relationship" as 2 different things. Many people believe many things without relationship. IMO, it's the relationship and the Holy Spirit that flows through that, that teaches "true" beliefs. But again, the spoken/revealed Word doesn't go against or annul the written - IMO, they work together. And if the written isn't available to someone, God can still reveal Himself to their heart.
However, I believe the scribes and pharisees misused the written Word, and missed the Revealed Word - Jesus. They looked to and ONLY used the letter, and were not open to the Spirit and denied the Messiah. IMO, that's how they failed.
and missed the Revealed Word - Jesus
Shortly after God revealed UR to me, I was tempted to adopt what seemed to be a popular opinion on TM at the time, that Jesus ALONE was the Word, and that the written Word was suspect, unreliable, and not inspired. God dealt with me swiftly, deeply, and painfully that I was to not go in that direction, and was to maintain a belief [and stance] that His written Word is just that - His Word. Yes, Jesus is the Word -become flesh. But God also has written Word and spoken/revealed Word. They operate in tandem. They don't exclude or diminish each other, and I don't believe I should either.
sometimes....the 'word come in flesh' may appear to utter something against the written word. something unlawful even....such as....
Quote from: Nathan on October 13, 2011, 04:00:14 PMMatthew 4:4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.What is the "bread alone"?Maybe I am thinking in the physical flesh again but my understanding of this verse is. Our bodies should not live by food alone, it also needs God's word to sustain it. I kind of think of it as growing up. Our bodies need food/bread to help us grow up to be healthy human beings and the word of God helps us to grow up to be spiritually minded. When I say spiritually minded I mean to, think on things that are good, (Phil. 4:8) and have the fruits of the Spirit. CHB

Throughout, Struve has maintained a positive attitude. He followed a reccomended medical response to take medication for two months, and then reassess. The Dutchman met with his doctors last week, and today his manager Lex McMahon reached out to MMAFighting's Ariel Helwani with positive news.
"The doctors informed Stefan that the leakage back into his heart has been greatly reduced," said McMahon.
"Additionally, his heart is not as enlarged as it was, but since it is still enlarged, they are attributing it to a condition called 'Sport Heart' or 'Athletic Heart Syndrome,' which is fairly common in athletes who train rigorously for more than one hour per day and is generally considered benign.
"Stefan's doctors have cleared him to return to training so they can evaluate how he responds over the next several months.
"At this time the doctors are suggesting that he continue with the medicine and do not recommend surgery.
"The general prognosis for Stefan's health is very positive. Stefan is focused on returning to the Octagon as soon as he can do so safely."

Bishop England snapped a four-game skid Wednesday with a 50-46 road win over North Charleston.
Defense cleared the way for the Bishops' lowest-scoring win of the season. Bishop England allowed North Charleston just 13 points through the first half, while they opened a 13-point lead by halftime.
North Charleston outscored Bishop England in both the third and fourth quarters but couldn't trim but couldn't erase the early deficit quick enough to keep the Bishops from completing the season sweep.
Dillon Corbett led Bishop England with a game-high 16 points that T.J. Levine matched for North Charleston. B.J Grevey added 10 points and Ben Carico eight for Bishop England.
The win keeps Bishop England (10-11, 6-5) in third place in Region VI along with Garrett, who the Bishops already defeated once this season. Bishop England tips off at Garrett for game two of the season series Friday at 8 p.m.
Lady Bishops growing even stronger
The Bishop England Lady Bishops turned in their most dominating win of the season Wednesday in a 99-12 win at North Charleston.
Eran Artigues and Erin Rose both scored 16 points for Bishop England to lead all scorers. Artigues connected on 3-4 from three, while Rose shot 8-9 from the floor.
Michele Boykin added 13 points, six steals, and Mary Harriet Moore turned in 10 points.
Bishop England (19-1, 11-0) jumped out to a 33-2 lead in the first quarter and coasted to the win with 15 players scoring at least two points. North Charleston didn't score more than four points in any quarter. Porsha Thompson scored 10 of North Charleston's 12.

gods gonna punish him for this....or AS will
I think getting embarrased by Silva would really hurt him as a fighter right now. Let him fight 2 or 3 big names first. I honestly don't think he's ready nor has any idea what he's in for. His only chance is to shoot shoot and shoot somemore hoping to hold siver down or against the fence for a UD. Or if Silva gets old over night....
Scarface: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you, I'm out!
"I don't call the fighting in my films 'violent', I call it 'action'. An action film borders between fantasy and reality. If I were to be completely realistic in my films, you would call me a violent, bloody man. I would simply destroy my opponent by tearing his guts out. I wouldn't do it so artistically." ~Bruce Lee

Logic, reason and fact do not supersede human nature. Ignorance reigns without justice.
If you are in a position of wondering what type of server to pick when the game finally launches, then some information regarding such may prove useful. Now, I'm not trying to convince anyone to pick one over the other, but rather simply call attention to something that many may forget in their thoughts for this. Firstly, I'll say in the most dramatic way possible, that this relaunch is potentially history in the making. We've had games launch and relaunch with some minor revisions or a cash shop added to them, but A Realm Reborn is something different entirely; one of the few, if not the only that has completely scraped their old engine and nearly everything from the last game and relaunch as practically an entirely NEW game in the same game world (that it in itself was recrafted).
Many are of the persuasion that starting on a fresh server will allow for them to see how the community and economy grows, and endure the hardships and lack of resources that follow. That memory years from that point where you say, I was on this server at the start. Indeed, it is perhaps the only way some of us desire to play the game: at the start, and without any past history to speak of.
But there is another case here that wasn't exactly present in many other circumstances that games have once new servers are opened. The fact that those who join in existing server will not only be a part of a helpful community that stayed together through thick and thin in the past, but they will experience what may never again happen in the history of MMORPGs. They will be a part of server that has be completely transferred from one world that no longer exists, to another that has changes to every single system that was once known. From the hundreds of thousands of characters files transferred, to the altered currency, and differences in how to acquire items and resources (We may even see new players teaching 1.0 players about some systems that seem simple to fresh players, but complicated to old as the old system wasn't like such).
New servers open almost every week spread across the thousands of MMO, but this is the first time that we will see first hand how a community adapts and comes together to reevaluate everything they once knew, from the simplest quest systems to the storylines and even the economy (and the former lack of an auction house). This isn't just a patch; this isn't just a number to signify extra content. This is a completely different game, yet in it exists a people who have to learn it all over again, who come from that world and who have to come together as a community to reevaluate every single item, class, profession, dungeon, map, attack and even the simple things such as traveling.
This is an opportunity to see how this all happens that will be missed if there is just a blank slate to start on -- something that can be seen, again, on a frequent basis throughout all MMORPG games (and even the future if they open new servers again).
It is a great and exciting time, an experiment and something that could say to publishers, if successful, that such a thing can be done and profitable. As dramatic as it sounds, we could be seeing the entire genre go down one road, or maintain it's path of "if it's unsuccessful the first time, make it be F2P with cash shop after some changes without fixing the problems".
So I guess the choice is really this:
Do you want to say you were there with the start of a server... or do you want to say you experienced what has rarely happened and may never happen again in the history of MMORPGs? New players will shape this game no matter if it's a new server or not, as they'll participate and become a part of the reformation and adaptation of a community that is practically just as foreign to the game as they are. The driving factor of their level brackets, and the foundation of the new economy that will arise from the complete changes the past game and economy had endured during the transition.
In my opinion, the "easy" road is joining an existing server as you will have auction houses filled with every at level item you could want at low prices (or even make friends who will make items for you, which the community is known for). But it is also the most fascinating decision, and something that could change one's thoughts regarding the future of MMOs in general and how the communities form and adapt therein.
When the release date is upon us, what are your plans (subject to those who think they are going to play)?
When faced with strife or discontent, the true nature of a man is brought forth. It is then when we see the character of the individual. It is then we are able to tell if he is mature enough to grin and bare it, or subject his fellow man to his complaints and woes.

I'll be continuing with my old character, but know that some have stated they will be restarting from scratch, though I doubt there be many doing that after all the time they put into creating and developing their character. I still have all my crafting jobs to complete and some DoW to work on, so I will have the opportunity to play through the storyline from scratch.
There can be both advantages and disadvantages to starting on existing and new servers, I think it depends how you weigh those disadvantages and advantages up. The following can be taken as either.
New server.
- Everyone starts on same playing field.
- New linkshells.
- Naming of characters unlikely to be taken.
- Fresh start to economy.
- Everyone is a newb.
Existing server.
- Join freinds who already have been playing.
- Able to aquire gear easier.
- Auction house already stocked with materials.
- probability of help to acheive certain tasks/quests.
- Everyone is a noob

I'm glad SE went this route. Those who have been playing for 2 years can keep their goodies and those who wanted to play from the beginning can start in a fresh new world.
I'm joining a new server. I don't want to be exploited by d-bags screwing with auction houses. I've already been through that in FFXI.

That's almost always a worry. Though ultimately those who start with crafting first (in 1.0 crafting took months just to level one profession unless you played 15 hours a day) will have the monopoly without other crafters there to undercut them or see that they're being too greedy and post it at normal prices.
It is highly likely that new servers will be more subject to exploited auction house than new severs in this case, unless the individual uses their first month of free play just crafting and not playing the game. I considered starting on a new server myself and make a crafter at the start again, but then by the time I would level it up the server would have max levels, there will be other crafters, and it would basically have meant I wasted a month or two as it would be in the same position as existing servers were (and I had little to no fun as I was only crafting).
On my server at least, I know there are crafting linkshells that regulate the economy in a positive fashion ( looking for gouged prices and setting it back to the norm, or even giving free items out). There won't be that kind of security on new servers as people will be "greedy" and demand will be high as everyone wants the same thing.
I suppose if one just likes playing games, it would be best to start on an existing; if they're a hardcore crafter they would probably do well on a new server. Otherwise it could just be potentially putting oneself through lack of materials and items as they level (the resources in which to craft will likely cost 3-5x that of existing servers as well as other people may have the same idea of sacrificing play time to craft), with the economy moving close to how the existing ones would've been on a daily basis.
Someone mentioned Top Tier item trades in another thread and how some were trying to trade their gil for gear in hopes to get more out of the 90% reduction in gil (which still gives the same purchasing power as NPC prices on mats are lowered by that amount as well). Though the devopers said in a live interview not to do that since it may be easier to get materials, materia and meld in the next game. This may mean people trying to spike High Tier, High Level items (only effects people at max level at start and not new players), but it will quickly fall in prices as people undercut that, and more and more are acquired with ease.
I do not see items low-medium tier items at max level to be expensive at all; nor the low level items, which many linkshells may be willing just to flat out give or help with if you're social enough.
Ultimately, if it's the economy you're worried about, FFXIV (experiences on my own server) is a unique case whereby the community was fairly tight (it had to be) and prices were relatively low on everything but the top tier, high demand things (which should be easier to get according to Yoshi-P). I'm not sure about new servers as they will be flooded by players used to other types of games with a "every man for himself" mentality.
Just a few months after the official release the servers will likely be in the same places. So I guess it's a matter of if one wants a harder time in those months, or an easier one with the abundance of items and resources available to them.

I like to play sub games because it keeps everyone at the same level... I hate joining sub games that have been out for years because I have a huge disadvantage from the start. For those reasons i will be starting on a new server, no reason to join an existing one just to handicap myself.

If you have a linkshell that's starting on a new server, you may not have to deal with a lot of the troubles of starting on a new server. I know crafting shells that are going to new servers just to dominate the market with pooled resources -- something that can't be done on existing servers as there will be people keeping prices low ( or at least the supply will be higher than the demand on most items).
It's probably the best thing to do if you have a group of experts who are used to working together in such a way and quite possibly one of the unique factors that is in this Realm Reborn: the economy may be more manipulated on fresh servers than existing.
My initial analysis may be way off, even if it was a personal estimate based only on what we knew. Those who dedicate themselves to crafting may still be second class when facing off against these large entities who aren't limited in the same way power gamers might be solo (even if they have 24/7 to play).

I think the trend is pretty clear. Most people aren't interrested in being ruled over, in most aspects of the game, by a bunch elitist twat.

There's nothing wrong with playing on a new server. Though from some of the expectations I've seen around the web, many are getting the idea that they will be away from "veteran" players in some aspect. This will hardly be the case, as there have been more 1.0 players that I've known planning to start on new servers than there are (that I personally know) that will be completely new when doing such.
Crafting linkshells starting on these servers are a very real reality and in bulk; these groups work together unlike anything many have seen and these (again the ones I'm aware of) are doing so solely for the purpose of controlling the entire server without the interference of those who would stop them.
In the end it will just be them at the top a few months down the line, and the server will be at the same spot (if not worse) as existing ones are.
Again, just to play it safe as this is pretty much unprecedented as a whole, I can see why new servers are more inviting just based on past experiences.
I actually intend on being on the RP server, which is an existing one, so the realm will likely be full as it was in the past anyway. It was originally my intent to start over, but then I had several breakthroughs of sorts in that things will just be as they were in a matter of time and I would've just wasted my time (my time, being that I already leveled the crafts I want, and would just do so again). Now I just plan to start a new character alongside my old and stick to the old community that I know will be mature and quite helpful as opposed to a influx of players from all types of games.
Edit: Not to mention that when server transfers are open, many who had characters elsewhere will bring their characters to where ever they resettled which could potentially shake the servers again; many who thought themselves rich would be overshadowed over night and may find their resources cut in half in terms of player driven buying power with items. It could potentially be devastating to be tops one day after working for such a long time and then be at the bottom almost instantly. One wouldn't be acclimated to such as they didn't start in a society that was helpful and that has a more stable creation of gil (after all, why transfer to a server that has a lot of gil? Gil will simply leave the existing servers, which will increase the value of such when comparing it to having large amounts flow in from unmitigated sources).

Easy choice for me.
No offense, but when I read the OP, I think of Plankton when he encounters snowflakes: "Come back! I wish to rule you!"
Now we're calling prostitutes "sex workers". What's next? Calling hit men "end-of-life technicians"?

I'm quite sure the old servers will die horribly. Considering the economy is built on the old v1.0 version and all of it's updates.
Fresh start, fresh economy and fresh community.

For over 100 years the American Scouting Movement has been both a constructive and enjoyable force in the growth and development of young boys. Scouting is about friendship, community and nature. It is about doing your best and being prepared. It is learning about things you never knew and doing things you never thought you could. It is the view from the top of a mountain after a strenuous hike and the joy of sitting by a campfire at the end of the day with the best friends you have ever had. From their experiences in scouting, young boys take away lessons and values that last a lifetime.
In an age when so much of childhood has become dominated by electronic entertainment, scouting remains a place for boys to run and jump and grow strong in the out-of-doors, to speak directly into the eyes of another, to have the time to observe the quiet wonders of nature and, every once in awhile, step aside from modernity and reflect on the meaning of themselves in the world.
Scouting does not work for all boys. That has always been true. But for those it does work for it can be a wonderful life-changing experience. Scouting is one of the paths to help young boys grow into thoughtful and caring young men.
How do we introduce boys and their families to the possibilities of Scouting? Cub Scouting is for boys age 7 to 11. Boy Scouting is for boys age 12 to 18. In the past, there has been close cooperation between youth organizations and public schools. This year for the first time, the Vermont Department of Education has prohibited all organizations from recruiting in schools. The good intention in this policy was to protect impressionable children from crass solicitation. The unintended consequence has been that the policy has made it very difficult for scouting and other very worthy youth organizations to introduce kids and their families to their programs.
And many of our kids benefit greatly from these programs.
In the long term the Green Mountain Council intends to petition the Department of Education to review its policy. For this year the local scouting Pack and Troop have partnered with American Flatbread at Lareau Farm and will hold an educational night about Cub and Boy Scouting with free flatbread for all boys of scouting age and their families and for all current scouts and their families on Thursday, October 18, from 5 to 8:30 p.m.
For more information on joining Cub Scouts, contact AnnMarie Harmon at 371-9997. For information on Boy Scouts, contact Rick Lee at 279-3393.

I currently have my Associate degree and will have my Bachelor degree in early March. I really enjoy being a part of the Discount Ramps' family. Between work, school, and my family there isn't much me time, but that is okay-I wouldn't have it any other way.
