From the 2009 Grammy-winning Album of the Year, Raising Sand, by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, this upbeat rockabilly classic by Don and Phil Everly gets a fabulous a cappella remake!
The debut single from 2009 by Mumford & Sons, from their debut album Sigh No More, packs a folk-rock punch in this arrangement for unaccompanied male voices.
This song by Mark James, also known as Francis Zambon, was recorded by Elvis Presley in the 1960s. Deke Sharon has skillfully arranged it for the Contemporary A Cappella series.

ALBANY - Police say a 20-year-old woman out walking in Albany was violently attacked.
It happened around 7 Wednesday night on the 400 block of Hudson Avenue.
Police say a man approached the woman from behind, grabbed her around the neck and knocked her to the ground.
She was then struck in the face and told not to scream.
She was able to get away, but the suspect is still on the loose.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.

WTF Moments From Bones Season 8 Episode 10 and 11 — Bugs and Babies!
We were treated to double episodes of Bones this week, which means there were even more WTF moments than usual. And even more blood and guts than usual, but we're used to that! We've rounded up the biggest head-scratchers for you to look back on, mostly because we can no longer let Hodgins (TJ Thyne) get away with his behavior. Please join our petition to Save Hodgins From Himself.
Panic, guys. PANIC. It appears that Hodgins' strange and unusual worm fetish has spread like the demented disease that it is. We're used to this freakishly bearded bug-boy writhing around in pleasure at the mere sight of a maggot, but this week Brennan (Emily Deschanel) had entire cocoon of worms fall on her face and she barely reacted. In fact, she seemed sort of into it. Like, more into it than she's into sex with Booth (David Boreanaz).
2. Hodgins Refers To Maggot-Eating-Ravens As "My Children"
Well, no wonder Baby Michael Vincent has issues. His dad has adopted a fleet of maggot consuming ravens, and clearly he loves them best. We knew this day would come, we just didn't expect it to arrive so soon. But whatever, Hodgins. Feel free to nest with your bird friends and feed them regurgitated worms out of your mouth. We won't judge you.
Baby Michael Vincent barely gets a chance to leave that drawer he's kept in, so when he comes up for air it's a big deal. But you'd think Angela (Michaela Conlin) and Hodgins would take their poor kiddo to a park or something, not an art museum full of old ladies. This poor hapless child was forced to stare at a John Singer Sargent painting for a full 20 minutes with his art-obsessed mother, which is basically a year in child time. Little dude will be grey by the time he's three.
4. Um, Sweets Is Still Living With Booth and Brennan
Remember when Sweets (John Francis Daley) was living in his office and we almost submitted his application to Hoarders: Buried Alive? We're starting to miss those sweet, innocent times. Nowadays, Sweets is still living with Booth and Brennan, and we're pretty sure it's been months since he first arrived. He's basically like their adopted child, which makes sense because lord knows Booth's kid isn't coming back anytime soon.
5. Angela's Caveman Art Makes Us Sad, As Does Angela
We're so deeply concerned about Angela. Remember when she was a bright-eyed PYT who loved sexual experiments and colorful denim jackets? Times have changed, and now Angela spends her free time drawing mutant neanderthal children from ye olden times. Something needs to be done. Something like Hodgins shaving his beard.

Lynn Holtz - See all my reviews
I miss the amazing lookout over amazing cities. This is trees, cliffs looking at trees, more trees, a hardly impressive church spire then....lots more trees. Yeah, not nearly as visually impressive as past ACs. Lacks nobility. This character seems more embittered, mono-toned and doesn't seem to bond with other game characters so he lacks the poise of nobility that even brash Altair developed and Ezio had and we often got to experience through their associations. Desmond's sequences were very disappointing.
Always had the feeling that something amazing was about to happen...but it never did. This is a much more slower paced game with more limitations. It still has great graphics and runs without too many graphic or other glitches.
Satisfying conclusion...I guess...but it would have been awesome if we could have gone to Asia or Indo-China...maybe encountered ninja assassins to help aid against a Templar intrusion. Maybe even get to go climb a Tibetan Monastery in the mountains. Instead...this climbing trees all the time and domestic squabbling gets sadly boring at times. I love you, Ubisoft..but seriously this could/should have been so much MORE.
This isn't an awful game. It is somewhat disappointing in the collection of work. The conclusion is very predictable extremely early in the game so when it does comes it is simply okay. It doesn't answer alot of questions but it is entertaining. Wait for the price to drop and bottom out, then invest.
2.0 out of 5 stars Not as Good as others,
They changed everything up including the controls and I found this game a let down compared to others in this series.
5.0 out of 5 stars Assassins,
This review is from: Assassin's Creed 3 (Video Game)
I play the game every day no kidding, fun to play, graphics, challenges, the opportunity to do so many different things in the game is allot of fun.
5.0 out of 5 stars Assassins,
The game is challenging, exciting graphics are very good, story line is great easy to follow, the extra little games and challenges are fun to play as well.
5.0 out of 5 stars Pre-order on time and AMAZING!,
This review is from: Assassin's Creed 3 (Video Game)
I pre-ordered this game months before its release! I also received a complimentary case for this game because I pre-ordered it! I love the entire Assassin's Creed series and this one definitely has not disappointed!
4.0 out of 5 stars Jeu épique,
Très bon jeu, campagne prenante, relativement long à terminer à 100%.
Seul problème majeur, la quantité phénoménal de bug... On ne peut pas faire deux missions de suite sans se faire avoir par le jeu.
- Mission d'infiltration, dès que l'on entre dans la zone ''critique'', deux ennemis nous apparaissent dessus.
- Vers la fin d'une mission, il faut assassiner un individu rapidement suite à une cinématique.... Le problème c'est que l'on ne s'approche pas ''de la bonne manière'', le jeu nous fait réapparaitre à un kilomètre de la cible... ce qui fait que l'assassina est presque impossible à faire dans les temps.
- Bien d'autres exemples... mais contiennent des spoils, donc je vais en rester là.
2.0 out of 5 stars Dull as dust,
Stromtrooper77 (Canada) - See all my reviews
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars
Eye candy is first rate, but that's it. If you've played I and II then this one will be a disappointment. I felt like I was being led around by the nose. After 5 hours I packed it up and traded it in. It just felt like I was endlessly riding or walking around in the snow or in a town. Big deal. I do not recommend this game.
2.0 out of 5 stars A boring, uninteresting mess of a game.,
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars
Assassins Creed 3 has been hyped as the best of the series, but it really is quite far from it. I have put about 6 hours into it thus far and have yet to do anything related to what the game title suggests.
The controls are buggy, the missions are boring and unmerciful at points (For example, walking by a guard seems to be a 50/50 toss up as to whether or not he will attack you or not - for no rhyme or reason) and, most importantly, it's just flat out boring. The game spoon feeds you each aspect of it, usually in intervals of 30 minutes to an hour per "element", and occasionally throws in a bit of story to remind you that is, in fact, going somewhere. I am now roughly 6 hours in and I have yet to see all of it's features, and have yet to experience the open endedness every other AC title has given the player.
Im giving this game two stars because while the fun factor is missing entirely, it does look damn good. Wading through knee deep snow is visually impressive and realistic, and the environments are incredibly detailed. However, with such a boring story, boring missions, and terrible gameplay, there's really no reason to even bother with AC3. There are far superior games you can spend your money on.

For those of you respectable folk who don't visit Kevin Federline's MySpace page regularly, here's an update. Britney's trophy husband, drunk with power, set off sparks on his site by demanding approval of all comments posted. Whereas once you could leave any comment you wanted, now he's policing posts to make sure everything is K-friendly. While his fans are outraged by their lack of freedom of speech, Kevin is telling them it's for their own good.
Here's what he posted Monday on his Myspace blog:
if you all didn't use my comment section to dis each other i woulda kept them without approval…but all that shit was stupid. i don't care if you don't like me but respect each other.
We've run this statement through our trusty celebrity translator and discovered the true meaning of Kevin's word. Here's what we think he's saying:
You hurt my feelings when you say mean things about me. I really, really want to be loved by everyone but in particular porn stars and rappers. From now on, if you want to post a comment on my MySpace page you can write A)"You're an amazing lyricist" or B)"thanks for the add, sexy"." C) "You Suck Balls" is no longer an option.

Capsule Review: Elephants Can Remember
First published 1972; 224 pages
This was actually a re-read: It was one of the first Christies I read many many (MANY, MANY!!!) years ago. I've been gradually reading (or re-reading) all the Hercule Poirot novels that feature his mystery-writing friend Ariadne Oliver, and this is one of those.
In this novel, Mrs. Oliver is asked by a Mrs. Burton-Cox to discover the truth about a crime that happened in the past – a murder involving the parents of Celia Ravenscroft, the girl who is about to become engaged to Mrs. B-C's son. At first annoyed by the request, Ariadne soon becomes curious and starts interviewing people about the murder, and of course eventually calls upon her good friend Hercule Poirot for help.
Like most of Christie's works, this one has a long line-up of characters. It also involves a number of plot devices familiar to her readers – including mistaken identity, adoption and illegitimacy, and a pet dog who, as Poirot says, may be "more intelligent perhaps than the police."
I usually find the idea of investigating an ancient crime rather tedious. It takes away all the immediacy of the drama. And at the end of the book, after the mystery has been solved and everything is wrapped up, I did indeed find myself coming to a sort of "so what" moment which was a bit of a let-down. So I'd say while it's still a good read and I enjoyed it, it's definitely not the best example of Dame Agatha's work.

Not So Friendly FacebookingFebruary 8, 2011 - 3:20 PM | by: Laura Ingle
p>It's a social networking situation that has gone beyond a simple "friend request" or "poke." Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg claims that 31-year old Pradeep Manukonda is stalking him. According to TMZ.com, Manukonda tried to "follow, surveil, and contact" him using language threatening his personal safety.
TMZ reports, one of Manukonda's alleged menacing messages read, "Please help me, then I am ready to die for you…" he continues, "please understand my pain." The messages didn't stop with Zuckerberg, Manukonda also reached out to Zuckerberg's sister Randi. Manukonda posted a message to her that read, "Dear Randi please respond, before its get too late … I am sorry to bother you, which is not at all concern to you, every second is precious to me … Please understand the urgency and do the needful thing … Please do respond I really need your help … My dear sister thanks (sic)."
Manukonda was also looking to get some real life face time with Zuckerberg, showing up at Zuckerberg's Palo Alto office and his home, looking for advice and money. He even sent him flowers with a hand written note. A spokesperson with the Palo Alto, California police department, tells Fox News officers admonished Manukonda to stay away after he showed up at Facebook headquarters, but did not arrest him.
Facebook's manager of public policy communications Andrew Noyes tells Fox News, there is a restraining order against Manukonda, but will not give further details on the case. California's stalking law states, anyone who willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follows or willfully and maliciously harasses another person and who makes a credible threat with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear for his or her own safety, can be charged with stalking. If Manukonda is charged with stalking, he could face up to one year in jail and or 1,000 dollars in fines.
For now, a California judge has ordered the 31-year old to stay at least 300 yards away from Zuckerberg, his girlfriend Priscilla, and his sister Randi, pending a hearing on the issue February 22nd.

An opposition lawmaker said on Tuesday that the House of Representatives would summon state upstream oil and gas regulator BPMigas for questioning after a budget watchdog called for an investigation into the agency's leasing of office space.
Dewi Aryani, a member of House Commission VII overseeing energy, said the commission would summon BPMigas officials when lawmakers reconvened after their Ramadan recess. The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) lawmaker also called for a reform of BPMigas and said President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, in his capacity as chairman of the National Economic Council, should lead it.
"He needs to make sure that efficiency measures are really implemented," she said. This, she added, will help lift more Indonesians out of poverty.
The Indonesian Forum for Budget Transparency (Fitra) called last week for an investigation into what it said was an untendered office space procurement by BPMigas that could cost the state billions of rupiah. Fitra accused BPMigas of bypassing a tender to sign a deal with Sanggarcipta Kreasitama for office space in South Jakarta in a deal valued at Rp 376 billion ($40 million).
Fitra questioned the regulator's decision to procure the space for Rp 76 billion and agree to pay Rp 300 billion in rent for five years, an amount it says is enough to build a whole new office space.
The budget watchdog's coordinator, Uchok Sky Khadafi, said on Friday that BPMigas did not negotiate the procurement price with Sanggarcipta, as required under standard government tender procedures.
"This procurement reeks of corruption. There was no tender," he said. "[The Corruption Eradication Commission] must step in to investigate."
Fitra, citing the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), said BPMigas started looking in September 2010 to move from its office space in the Patra Jasa building on Jalan Gatot Subroto in South Jakarta.

Afternoon traffic on I-85 brought to a halt
Northbound traffic on Interstate 85 was halted for about an hour on Tuesday afternoon due to an accident just south of the Parham Road overpass near exit 215.
A southbound tractor-trailer, loaded with farm equipment, crossed the median and came to rest across the northbound lane.
Northbound traffic came to a complete halt. Motorists arriving at the back of the halted vehicles were diverted via exit 214 along North Garnett Street to Satterwhite Point Road, where they could return to I-85.
Southbound traffic was slowed to a cautious pace but kept moving.
At press time, it was unclear if charges were pending against any drivers.
According to Lt. Alan Hedgepeth of the Henderson police, a 2000 GMC driven by William Clarence Harrison III of Manson and a 2007 Peterbilt tractor driven by Robert Paterson of Lena, Wis., were involved in a crash. Harrison's vehicle was in the left lane, but changed lanes abruptly due to flares in the roadway. His deceleration led Paterson to slam on brakes, ultimately hitting Harrison's vehicle. The 18-wheeler collided with two guardrails and came to rest on an embankment.
Police were dispatched at 2:12 p.m.

Sevier County seniors leave legacy
While the rain picked up Friday night behind Shields Stadium, Steve Brewer walked back and forth with a football in hand.
The Sevier County coach later found some cover in the doorway of the visiting locker room, greeting each of his players as they left. He wished good health on injured junior Kody Paul and reminded transfer Dorian Banks, "This is your family, now." When an emotional quarterback Luke Manning, who finished his senior season with 32 touchdowns and nearly 3,000 yards, reached him Brewer reminded the senior this wasn't the end.
"Heck of a two years," Brewer said. "You're not done playing yet."
But for Manning and the other Smoky Bear seniors, Friday's 56-14 loss to Maryville in the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association's Class 6A quarterfinals was the end of their high school saga.
And what a trip it was.
Sevier County is 40-9 over the last four years with two trips to the state quarterfinals. The Bears were 5-4 in the postseason, only failing to win at least one playoff game back in 2010 when they lost to Farragut. In the last two years, with Manning at the helm, Sevier County lost just four times to two teams.
"I'll tell you what, these seniors can be proud," Brewer said. "What they've been able to accomplish, I think it's uncharted territory for Sevier County High School. Like I said, you have that kind of record over five years and that's winning a lot of good football games. The teams that have beaten us are good, quality football programs.
"But we've got to keep playing until we can reach that standard. Right now, Maryville's the standard and that's what we've got to learn to play at."
Twice this year the Rebels proved to be too much. But it's playing this type of competition on this kind of stage that the coach said will help Sevier County get better. Senior receiver Jacob Whaley, who caught a touchdown pass on Friday night, said he could see progress from a 55-6 loss to Maryville back in September.
"We're getting closer and closer every year," Whaley said. "They just need to keep working hard in the offseason. I think playing them in the season is helping us in the way that we prepare for them."
Whaley said it was turnovers — six of them — that ended up being the Bears undoing. There were flashes here and there of what Sevier County could be. The Bears produced two straight touchdown drives and a Logan Brett sack of Maryville quarterback John Garrett that forced the Rebels only punt of the night in the first half.
But for all the success and progress these Bears represent, Maryville continues to be another step up. Rebels coach George Quarles couldn't quite put into words how his team, year after year, produces the consistent success everyone in Tennessee seeks.
"I know other places have great kids, too, but our kids are really dedicated to it," Quarles said. "They focused all week in practice. They come out ready to compete. I think they enjoy playing with each other. Got a good coaching staff, they coach those guys really hard.
"I don't know what it is and I don't want to ask too many questions. I just want to kind of go with it."
Figuring out how to get there is now on the next group of Sevier County stars. They'll get their chance when Sevier County returns to Shields Stadium in week five next year, a date Maryville coach George Quarles recited almost instantly.
"I think you make a little bit of progress every time you play a good football team like Maryville. This is three times we've played them in three years and we'll play them next year. We've just got to continue to strive to that standard. That's what we're after. That's what we've got to do. We're not there yet but we're going to keep playing until we get closer."

PLATTSBURGH - The wine will flow freely once again as the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum hosts its second annual Champlain Valley Winter Wine Festival.
The three-day event will return to the city Friday, Jan. 28, through Sunday, Jan. 30, showcasing the region's unique specialty wine, food and restaurants.
Ashlea Keene, director of fundraising and membership for the museum, said the festival will kick off again this year with a wine dinner at Olive Ridley's, 37 Court St., from 7 to 9 p.m. next Friday night, signifying the culmination of several months of planning.
"We talked to the wineries and restaurants involved last year to get some suggestions and ideas to make the event even better," Keene said, "and we've been working with them and new vendors since July. We have a lot of the same local wineries from last year but we've brought some new ones on this year as well."
"It should be a fun weekend of festivities," she added.
The festival will continue with a grand tasting and silent auction in the City Hall Rotunda from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 29, which will give people the opportunity to meet with food and wine experts while sampling their products, said Keene. Live entertainment and big-ticket auction items such as round-trip airfare for two to Orlando, courtesy of Allegiant Air, are expected to help draw a crowd as well, she said.
"We have paintings from several local artists. We have some hand-painted wine glasses. We have a lot of stuff from all sorts of local businesses," Keene said.

Like moths to a flame, drinkers are drawn to the Briton's Protection by the red neon sign over the door. The roomy interior is pub perfection: brass fixtures and fittings, and paintings commemorating the 1819 Peterloo Massacre.

Spring 2005 Graduation Information
Everything you need to know to graduate...
Posted: April 1, 2005
Invitations and Announcements:
Printed invitations and announcements for mailing to family and friends may be ordered from the University Co-op at each of its three locations.
Commencement invitations and announcements should be purchased by MONDAY, MAY 2 and mailed by FRIDAY, MAY 6 to ensure delivery.
TICKETS: We'll announce more detailed information and specific dates concerning this year's graduation in April. But for now, graduating Plan II Honors graduating seniors themselves do NOT need a ticket for the Plan II Honors Graduation Convocation. All other guests must have a ticket to enter the Hogg Memorial Auditorium Seating is "first-come, first-seated." Guests may not hold seats for groups.
We do not reserve or mail tickets. Each graduating senior may pick up SIX (6) tickets for family and guests. We will announce, through the Plan2News electronic newsletter when the tickets are ready and available for pick-up. It will be in late April or early may, exact date TBA.
Each senior will be asked to sign for the number of tickets he/she picks up. Tickets will not be reserved for seniors who do not pick up tickets on or before the deadline. Because we will not have more tickets than available seats, we hope seniors will not pick up more tickets than they expect to use. We ask seniors to not pick up six tickets if they know they will only have 4 or 5 guests! On a specific date (also TBA), all remaining Plan II Honors Graduation Convocation tickets will be released on a "first-come, first-served" basis to those seniors who expect more than 6 guests.
Graduating seniors who walk in the University-wide ceremony on Saturday night DO need a ticket.
Parking: The most convenient parking for the Plan II Graduation Convocation should be readily available in UT Parking Garage #2 on San Antonio Street (one block west of Guadalupe Street) between 24th Street and 25th Street. On May 20 and May 21 no permits are required and no charges will be incurred at University garages. Guest drop-off for seniors and those with disabilites is possible at the front door of Hogg Memorial Auditorium. There is very limited disabled parking at Hogg Auditorium on Saturday, May 21. If driving east on 24th Street, turn right at Inner Campus Drive and right again at the Yield Sign at the turtle pond. This will take you to the front of the Hogg Memorial Auditorium where you may drop-off guests before parking at another spot. You must mention "Plan II Honors commencement at Hogg Auditorium" to the guard to be allowed entrance to the inner campus area.
Special Needs: Special services are available to accommodate needs for individuals with disabilities. If you require accommodations adaptive equipment, please contact Jennifer Scalora (512 471-1442) at least five days prior to Commencement activities. Campus resources and a map with details of accessibility on campus are available at Disability Resources Home.

Humans wouldn't be able to get by without salt
: August 1, 2011
Photo Caption: These microscopic salt crystals were collected from the air over California's Pacific Coast. Photograph by Forrest M. Mims III.
People can survive without gold, silver and platinum. But life as we know it would be impossible without table salt.
There is irony in this, because salt is composed of sodium and chlorine, elements that are decidedly unfriendly in their pure state. Drop a thimble-size chunk of metallic sodium into water, and it will explode. Inhaling chlorine gas can have fatal results.
The union of sodium and chlorine forms the molecule sodium chloride (NaCl), the table salt that is essential to our survival. Sodium in salt is key to the transmission of nerve signals throughout the body, including those that cause our hearts to pump blood. Chlorine in salt assists with digestion of some nutrients and helps repel infections. Much more about the role of salt in our bodies can be found at www.salthealth.org.
Salt has played a prominent role in history. Sal, Latin for salt, is the root for salarium, the pay received by Roman soldiers and the origin of our word salary. Jesus told his followers that they were the salt of the earth.
The Salt Institute claims that salt has more than 14,000 uses. Centuries ago the enormous success of the cod fisheries off the coast of Newfoundland was made possible by the availability of salt to preserve the catch, most of which was shipped to Europe. Salt mining is a major industry in Ohio, where the product is used to melt ice from roads after winter snow storms. Salt is used in water softeners, where it displaces the calcium and magnesium that can form deposits inside pipes, tubs and showers.
Salt needs to be replaced when perspiration brings it to the surface of the skin. Years ago, I led a group of church teenagers on a 1,000-mile bicycle trip from Albuquerque to Padre Island. A physician advised passing out salt tablets after particularly hot segments of the journey.
Salt is among the world's most common resources and is far more abundant than precious metals. But there have been times when salt was as valuable as gold. This is because salt is mainly found in the oceans or in massive underground deposits. This means special methods are required to extract it.
Salt is removed from water by placing ocean water or brine into pools that are allowed to evaporate. The salt is left behind as formations of crystals. Underground salt is mined by heavy equipment or by injecting water into salt deposits and evaporating the brine to recover the dissolved salt.
More about salt's role in everyday life, medicine, industry and food is at www.saltinstitute.org, which provided some of the facts given here.

My marble maze is constructed mostly from craft foam so it is inexpensive and fairly easy to make so it is a great craft for kids. You can adjust the difficulty of the maze by putting the holes in less scary positions along the maze (or don't put any in at all) if your making this with/for younger. children.
Step 1: What you will need
- Clock case/housing
- Craft foam
- Polymer clay
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Glue
- Craft punch(es)
- Drill
Step 2: Floor
I tried peeling off the paper with the clock numbers but it didn't come off easily. I just left it since I was going to use green craft foam for the floor of the maze anyway. To make the maze floor, I placed the clock face onto the foam and traced around with a pencil and then cut out the circle. It needed to fit inside the edge of the clock face so I had to trim it a little. Test that it fits well, you don't want any bumps or buckling which could interfere with the movement of the ball.
I love the 'ibles that reuse trashed items!!
Thanks for sharing :)
so no successful maze built yet hehe
Looks like fun!

*GASP* How did he get that illegal thing without a background check or a license or waiting period??????? Oh no, David Gregory appears to be a criminal with an illegal amount of ammo in DC. Help we need more laws to stop the madness! What if he's crazy? Did anyone get an illegal look into his private medical records?
Wait, I bet he borrowed that. SO no background check right…
Too bad more of us serfs don't live in DC.
I'm pretty sure that's a military magazine. I bet it has on it somewhere, "For military/Police use only. Illegal to possess otherwise"
I think the point here is that the laws on the books don't matter because they aren't enforced. Before we try to make new laws, maybe the ones already in existence need to be enforced.
Yes, that too. If David or Piers thinks another law will stop what happens, they were just proven wrong.

As establishment Republicans join forces with the Obama administration to ram through a series of sweeping pseudo-"free trade" agreements with the European Union, critics are up in arms over various leaked provisions that would all but crush the principles of self-government. Especially alarming to opponents is the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP, which, among other concerns, would purport to limit the ability of voters and their elected representatives to enact laws interfering with the agenda of Big Business and Big Government. Another agreement being pursued in tandem, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TTP, would do the same, allowing unelected and unaccountable transnational bureaucrats to develop "harmonized" regulatory regimes for the bloc purporting to supersede federal and state laws. Critics from across the political spectrum say the plot must be stopped.
World Bank projects dealing with everything from "carbon credits" and "development policies" to crony capitalist "business" deals have forcibly evicted and ruined the livelihoods of millions of people around the world, according to an investigation into the globalist organization's own documents. A comprehensive review of World Bank records by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and various media outlets revealed that close to 3.5 million of the planet's poorest people, many of them already struggling just to survive, have been forced off their land and relocated as a direct consequence of policies and projects pursued by the government-backed global lender over the last 10 years. The real figures are probably even higher.
As many as 700 migrants are feared dead in the Mediterranean after a boatful of people trying to escape the violence and chaos in Libya capsized.
As Nigeria and the world reflects on the kidnapping of 329 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State, Nigeria, on April 14, 2014, by militants from the radical jihadist group Boko Haram, the jihadists control large areas of northeastern Nigeria and reportedly killed at least 24 people on Easter Sunday in the Borno village of Kwajafa.
Spain's political leaders are using economic instability and the threat of terrorism as pretexts to roll back personal liberties — just like the American government has been doing.

Time Management Fans Rejoice! In the new Time Management game, Fruit Juice Tycoon (formerly known as Blue Mango Twist), you are Nancy, a brand new fruit juice maker who is working her way up to become in the big leagues in the fruit juice world. This is a TM game with an actual storyline unlike contemporaries like Diner Dash and Chocolate Shop Frenzy. Sound easy just making juice? It is at first, but you have quite a deep and fun filled challenge ahead of you.
Tower Defense has just gotten a very promising upgrade in the form of InMotion Software's Dungeon Defense:Crypt Edition. This Tower Defense game has come out of seemingly nowhere. The graphically excellent game has a lot of TD fans excited with good reason but can it compete with the "big boys" like Field Runners and the even newer ElementalMonster TD?
I had a puppy growing up. I have to admit that if it were not for my sisters' constant attention and care for it, the puppy would have wasted away. (before PETA gets all haywire about this, the dog was very well cared for… by my sisters) Unfortunately for me, I quickly learned that I do not have the care of attention or the memory for Virtual Villagers 2. In a short while, the continually living populace of my village were facing stagnation, death, and decay. Despite my own failings, Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children is a faithful port of the original game with the same name.
Hospital Havoc is a game which allows the player to take the role of doctor by admitting, diagnosing, and treating some of the most whacky patients ever encountered. With a challenging campaign, including three levels of difficulty to choose from, 20 career levels, 19 possible illnesses, 3 to 6 bed conditions, 10 addicting scenarios, Hospital Havoc is full twists and turns that will keep you entertained for a long time.
Finally, another Time Management game to ease my new addiction…Phew, I feel better! Actually, Chocolatier, brought to us by PlayFirst is actually so much more than that. Sure, there is the time management aspect in terms of efficiently using your time (in this case travel), but at heart, it's more of a tycoon/economic type game.
It's practically a right of passage for anyone that has ever owned a computer (unless you're so cool that you've only ever had a Mac). One day you start to notice that your computer is running a lot slower than it used to. No matter how few programs you're running, or how much disk space you free up, you swear there's something going on in the computer. Oh yeah, the constant porn pop-ups are also a sign that something is definitely not right. So you download, buy, steal, or otherwise acquire an antivirus program, install it, and let it work its magic… but what exactly is it doing? The developers at Sector3 have an idea of what's going on in there, and they made it into a game: Circuit Defenders.
Elite broke ground and Privateer sunk its teeth deep into the pockets of Space Trader fans around the world, but for the younger gamer, Freelancer and the X series will probably be familiar trader landmarks. Kechbs Software's Space Trader is the first of the genre to explore the App Store.
Your local time management expert, Dave P. reporting for duty! You guessed it, I'm hard at work (or hardly working, depending on how you look at it) playing another time management game. Boy, I'm getting good at these!
For all those that follow my reviews religiously (big shout out to my wife), you'll know that I've already reviewed a few time management games. The current game in review is Supermarket Mania by G5
One of the things I love about the app store is the sheer amount of choice. Don't get me wrong, some days I hate it as well also for that very same reason. But, when you like a specific genre, such as TD games for example, it's a nice place to be able to visit. Sentinel, by Origin8 is the latest addition to the TD bunch. I won't go into explaining TD games as it has already been done here at Touchmyapps in several reviews, but Sentinel brings in an element of science fiction and nice looking graphics which does add a fresh vibe.
It seems like vector-esque graphics are the new vogue. With the rise in popularity of games such as Vector Tanks and Blue Attack!, it was only a matter of time before developers brought this visual style to the arena of Tower Defense (aka) TD games. This seems a no brainer given the fact that one of the better Flash TD games out there is Vector TD, a TD game that is done in vector graphics. Yet, despite the fact that the TD genre has a growing number of entries and that vector graphics may one day be passe, geoDefense does make a strong case in justifying its presence in your iDevice and within the TD genre in general.

Drs. Masters, Alkharouf, and Hearn awarded $133,525 from NSF for the purchase of next generation DNA sequencing equipment
An award is made to Towson University to acquire the instrumentation that will allow the application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to a large number of research programs involving graduate and undergraduate students. The research programs that will be supported are collaborative and range across biological sub-disciplines. Three research programs are described to exemplify the types of research programs that will be supported. Project one will use NGS for comparative analyses of RNA sequence data to uncover shared molecular-genetic mechanisms of wood evolution. In particular, the project seeks to explore evolutionary-developmental mechanisms responsible for multiple, parallel evolutionary origins of succulent woods, such as those found in the crop plants turnip and rutabaga. Project two will use NGS to develop evolutionary forecasting of pathogens. Evolutionary forecasting of pathogens calculates the probability of emergence or predominance of particular strains in association with certain diseases. The validity of the "high risk" designation for a strain will be experimentally explored in vivo by using a highly plastic veterinary pathogen (rather than a human pathogen) with an established experimental infection system in a proof-of-concept study. The parasitic bacterial species Mycoplasma synoviae relies on attachment to host cells to establish infection using a single allele of a multigene family, vlhA. Exploration of unexpressed copies of vlhA across strains by NGS is essential to the generation of predictive models of strain virulence. Evolutionary forecasts of M. synoviae strain virulence based on VlhA adhesins will then be validated in vivo. Project three will use NGS to develop and analyze microsatellite loci in house wrens. This will enable a test of the "compatible alleles" hypothesis in the house wren by examining the prediction made by that hypothesis that extra-pair males that successfully father young will be less related genetically to females than are within-pair males. The use of next-generation sequencing technology will allow this prediction to be examined at a scale and depth not previously possible.
The acquisition of instrumentation for next-generation sequencing will facilitate the following: 1) increased faculty-student production of peer-reviewed, published, and fundable research, 2) increased interdisciplinary research collaboration within and beyond the institution, 3) increased student research opportunities using cutting-edge technologies, 4) increased recruitment of high quality undergraduate and graduate students and faculty members, 5) increased opportunities for high-quality instruction on modern instrumentation in advanced lab courses, 6) increased training opportunities for minorities and high school teachers through established outreach programs. The ability to produce high sequence volumes at low cost enabled by the award will enhance the research done by our diverse faculty, the research experiences of our diverse students, and the subsequent education of generations of students in K-12 education.
Towson enters unique partnership with Port Deposit
Basking Northern Map Turtle on the Susquehanna River are not that common of a site. This state endangered turtle has been the subject of field studies by TU Biology undergraduate and graduate students since 2008. Towson has entered into a unique partnership with the town of Port Deposit to help protect this species. Funding partners include the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the Maryland State Highway Administration, and Exelon Corporation. Creation of an education center, protected nesting beaches, and increased public awareness are all part of the recovery efforts.
Dr. Hemm Awarded Career Grant from NSF
(from the Office of Sponsored Projects & Research)
Matthew R. Hemm, assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, has successfully secured a substantial grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which will provide funding for his proposal titled "Role of Small Transmembrane Proteins in Cytochrome bd Oxidase Activity." This proposal focuses on the role and function of specific proteins crucial to cellular respiration and to the processes of infection and colonization by several bacterial species. Understanding the activities of these proteins may have significant implications for the public health industry in terms of infection control.
This award has many benefits in store for Towson University. With the funds provided, both undergraduate and graduate students will have greater opportunities to participate in laboratory research, thereby fostering their talents for hands-on experimentation and information analysis. With the additional resources, there will be more room for trial and error in these experiments; this is especially important, as students will be able to correct procedural mistakes and therefore learn via repetition and review. The increase in the amount of time allotted for lengthier periods of problem solving is a luxury that can never be valued too highly in a scientific setting. Also, having additional funds available can accommodate further experiments suggested by discoveries in a current line of research. As Hemm will attest, every answer leads to another question for which one may need another experiment. It must be kept in mind that scientific discovery does little good if it is not shared with the research community at large. External funding is a prerequisite to the publication of experimental results. In terms of the material benefits for TU, the grant money will allow for the purchase of crucial supplies not previously available due to monetary restraints.
