|Earn all other trophies for MEGA DRIVE Collection.
Congratulations on the Platinum.
|Get Rich
|Alex Kidd: Collect 1,000 in currency
You can get this simply by playing the game. However, the way I did it was all on the first level. Don't worry about going into the buildings. You do not even have to destroy any cars or planes either. Open every chest in the level (minus the one I think you need the pogo stick for) and then die. Repeat and you should get the trophy.
|Don't Die
|Alien Storm: Reach Mission 3 without losing a life
Options -> easy and max lives. I used the robot for the speed, but any character really will do. Try not to get hit too many times getting to the boss guy as he did quite a bit of damage to me. Remember, you do not have to beat mission 3 without losing a life, just get to mission 3. That means only having to beat mission 1 and 2.
|Enter the Beast
|Altered Beast: Collect 100,000 pts or higher by the end of the first level
Be sure to hit every enemy that carries a power up and make sure you collect that power up. By getting through the level you should easily have at or over 100,000 points.
|Holy Water
|The Story of Thor: Unlock the Water Spirit
Head north after getting off the boat. You'll face several enemies. Once these are all taken care of, you'll have a brief conversation with someone. After this you should be outside of a house. Head left. Keep heading left, you'll have to go slightly up or down, but head left. You'll soon find yourself near a bridge heading north. Go across and you'll find yourself in the castle.
|Stealing Points
|Bonanza Brothers: Reach 40,000 points on the first level
Easiest method to get this is as follows. Start off by shooting the guy to the right. Keep heading that way and you'll see a shut door with a cop on the other side. Open the door and it will knock into the cop, knocking him out. This gives you 1,000 points. Go back a few steps the way you came and the door should shut. Go open it again for another 1,000 points. Repeat until you have the trophy.
|Easy as Pie
|Columns: Get 20,000 points only on Easy Mode
Set the game on easy and select easy mode when prompted. This could take you a few attempts to get it as the game speeds up at a certain point. Just match 3 like colors in a row, column, or diagonal. The game will speed up, but as long as you keep up with it it will slow back down some.
|Hardly a Hero
|Comix Zone: Complete first episode
This game can be frustrating and difficult. However, if you want you can use this cheat to get infinite life and then just play through the episode.
|Get Ahead
|Decap Attack: Collect 5 Bonus Coins
Bonus coins are found by destroying the statues like the 2 to your left when you start the game. There is typically 1 coin per level, however level 1-3 has 2. Not a hard game, so this shouldn't prove too difficult.
|Communication is Key
|Ecco: Talk to another dolphin
Swim to the right and use your sonar on the other dolphin. That's it.
|Taste Like Tuna
|Ecco: The Tides of Time: Eat 200 fish
Very easy trophy, but boring to get. Takes around 5 minutes of doing this for it to unlock. When you start you can go up a screen slightly to the right. Swim up and you should see a school of orange fish. Swim up and down using the dash and eat until the trophy shows up. There are many different schools around, so take your pick as well. You can also play through the game and eat fish as you go by them.
|Suit up
|E-SWAT: Obtain the Combat Suit (Complete Mission 2)
Go to options and max lives and play it on easy. Get through mission 1. It's not terribly difficult. Remember you can do a high jump by pushing Up along with jump. Crouching and shooting is so very important. The end boss is a helicopter who has a planned out route. It shouldn't take that much effort.
Go all the way and take your last right. Head to the right and you'll encounter 1 enemy, which you should be able to take out. You'll see a spot that you can high jump into toward the end, so do that.
Your goal now is to work right to left, left to right. There are only 2 types of enemies you'll face here, both of which can be easily dealt with by shooting while crouched. Make your way all the way to the left, then drop down. Now make your way to the right, and drop down. Repeat until you are heading right and there is an arrow with GO on it before the gap. Jump across and head right.
|Don't Get Lost
|Fatal Labyrinth: Progress to the fifth level of the labyrinth
The easiest way to get this trophy is to save after each level. Then if you die trying to find the next staircase, load the game and go another way.
|Getting Chicks
|Flicky: Collect 80,000 points
This was hard for me too, but once I got the hang of it it was a breeze. Your main goal should be getting the necessary number of chicks to the exit all in one chain. The quicker you do this, the more bonus points you get for time. I'm not 100% sure on the time, but I think under 15 seconds you get a 20k point bonus.
|Garden Gnomes
|Golden Axe: Collect 20 magic power-ups
This will most likely take 3 levels worth of play to collect all 20. When you see a small enemy (thief) with blue on, hit him as many times as you can. Usually this is 2-3 times and each time he will drop a magic power up.
|Tower Up
|Golden Axe II: Complete Tower Level
You need to keep the game set on normal, however you can max lives. Tower level is level 3 and you must complete this level to get the trophy. Simple, good playing strategy is all that's needed here. Save magic for when you really need it.
|Saved by Magic
|Golden Axe III: Use magic 10 times
You will get this trophy most likely during the 3rd level. Make sure to use one magic vial at a time. Whenever you see a blue thief, hit him as many times as possible as he will drop a vial each time. Also, treasure chests can contain vials.
|Kid Chameleon: Collect Maniaxe
This is a simple silver trophy to get. The power up you want is located on level 4. Power ups are gotten from some "P Blocks." Not all will drop a power up, but there a numerous ones. Nothing matters in the first 3 levels, so just complete them quickly. When you get to level 4, just hit every P block and you'll find the power up.
|Twinkle Twinkle
|Ristar: Collect 5 Yellow Stars
These stars are the ones that give you health. They are in chests, holes, and can be found by headbutting walls. Play through the game and search these places. Should take you about 3 levels worth to have the trophy.
|Dr. Robotnik's M.B.M.: Complete the game
I'd recommend trying to get to the end without using a password, however using one is the quickest method. By playing through the game you'll learn the ins and outs of it and be more skilled when you go against Robotnik.
|True Ninja Skills
|Shinobi III: Complete first level without using continues
Go to options and put it on easy and max shurikins. This is extremely easy to get done. For regular enemies be sure to duck and throw, or jump and throw depending on the enemy location. At some point in the level there are spikes that go up and down. Just be patient and don't make a bad jump. There are a few enemies that have large swords and do a charge up attack, and then the attack shoots out at you. Time the attack right and jump over it, then attack him.
|Complete Chaos
|Sonic The Hedgehog: Obtain a Chaos Emerald
In the first level, get to the end with at least 50 rings. There you'll find a giant ring and you want to jump into it. Now you'll need to guide Sonic down and to the left. If done right, you'll see an emerald with gems surrounding it. Try and have Sonic hit a whole line of gems and fall into the emerald.
|A Different Tail
|Sonic 3: Collect 100 rings with Tails anywhere on Angel Island Zone
This is an easy gold trophy. Start a new game and select to play as Tails only. Now just collect a total of 100 rings on the first level. At one point the boss will scorch the level...that's not the end of the level so don't worry. Keep going and you should be able to get 100 rings without much trouble. Oh, and don't get hit if you can help it.
|Flicky to the Rescue
|Sonic 3D Flickie's Island: Rescue 20 Flickies.
Flickies are found after defeating an enemy. There are a total of 10 per level and you can have 5 with you at once. When you have some with you, you'll want to find the giant rings. Jump and grab onto one to rescue those with you.
|Lots of Zeros
|Sonic Spinball: Get 10,000,000 points in the first level
Another pretty easy gold trophy. You should be able to start playing and learn what to hit and do to get points.
|Get to the Chopper
|Super Thunder Blade: Score over 1,500,000 points in the first level
Go to options and change it to HARD. Max your lives out. Now in game just stay in the top left corner of the screen and shoot non-stop. Nothing will hit you and your points will climb. The boss can and will hit you.
|Three Times a Charm
|Streets of Rage: Complete 1st Level using all 3 characters
Go to options and max lives and set it to easy. Now simply beat the first level with each of the 3 characters. Once you beat the level, reset the game and use another.
|Good Day Mate
|Streets of Rage 3: Unlock Roo the Kangaroo as a playable character
Go to options and set it to easy and max lives. You're aiming at beating level 2 to get this trophy. You'll fight a clown boss as well as Roo. Simply defeat the clown boss and not Roo, and he will run away.
|Super Charged
|VectorMan: Collect 500 photons
If you are decent at this game, play it as normal collecting as many of the "*" icons as you can. You'll have this around level 4.
|Can You Dig It?
|VectorMan 2: Reach Scene 11
When you get into the game, pause it and press this sequence:
|Blast Processing

Canucks one win from Stanley Cup without getting superstar scoring help
Jun 12, 2011, 12:09 PM EDT
The biggest story of the finals for Vancouver doesn't have anything to do with biting, hitting guys late, or taunting but rather with how they're finding ways to win games. The Canucks are just one win away from the Stanley Cup and if you look at how many goals they've scored through five games (they have six) and who's scoring them, you'll wonder just how in the world this team is so close to the franchise's first Stanley Cup.
Ready for this who's who of goal scorers in Vancouver? Raffi Torres, Alex Burrows (twice), Daniel Sedin, Jannik Hansen, Maxim Lapierre. That's it. This is a virtual hit list of players that the Bruins and their fans should all despise. Torres with his high flying hits, Burrows and his biting shenanigans, Daniel Sedin for merely existing, and Maxim Lapierre for finding ways to always get under someone's skin through taunting or theatrics. The way the Canucks are getting things done offensively is rather offensive to Boston.
The absence of scoring from just about everyone is stunning, but even more so from their superstars. Henrik Sedin doesn't have a point in the finals, Ryan Kesler has just one assist (a big one on Torres' Game 1 winner), and Daniel Sedin has a goal and an assist (same as Lapierre). The work Daniel and Alex Burrows did all came in a pivotal Game 2 win, but everywhere else in this series they've been invisible from the score sheet.
Seeing big stars get shutdown in the finals is nothing new. Pavel Datsyuk was invisible in 2008 against Pittsburgh. In 2009, Sidney Crosby had Henrik Zetterberg draped all over him holding him to a goal and two assists in seven games, and it happened to Jonathan Toews last year earning just three assists against Philadelphia. If you're a big star in the finals, your opponent is going to go out of their way to make sure you don't beat them.
With the way the Canucks have been shut down offensively, however, it's mind-boggling and is a credit to the work Boston's done defensively. Having a defensive pairing like Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg sure helps take care of business. In the finals it almost always boils down to the production you get from your secondary and tertiary scoring. Depth is the key and depth usually wins. The combination of great defensive play at home and getting goals from guys like Lapierre and Torres shows what makes the Canucks a dangerous team. If they can figure out what it takes to win in Boston, they'll get the chance to lift the Stanley Cup for the first time as Canucks in Boston Monday night.

Thelma and Louise are going to have to get going … otherwise this thing is coming right back here to Vancouver for game 7… no two ways about it …
- Derek in Milan - Jun 12, 2011 at 9:13 PM
To call the Sedins names is stupid. Its also. like that jerk Milbury, grossly sexist. Whats the matter, are you afraid of women? The Sedins are highly skilled, get hit a lot but dont go down. They may not be your idea of tough, but they ARE tough as nails.
Apologise when we lift the cup Monday in Boston.
- cannonblast14 - Jun 12, 2011 at 10:26 PM
Just because you win the cup does not make them women. Just means they have great teammates.
- blomfeld - Jun 12, 2011 at 11:01 PM
take it easy friend … I'm part Swedish myself and so it's my prerogative to have some fun at their expense ! … I do believe that this thing is coming right back here for game 7 … and to be honest, I'm a little concerned, as the fan support here appears to have gone well beyond that now ?… it's almost like a sort of "hysteria" or something ? … God help us, if Vancouver doesn't prevail … 😦

|Laps and lessons for Jimmy Garoppolo in first NFL training camp
|07.26.14 at 1:34 pm ET
FOXBORO – Jimmy Garoppolo can either be frustrated or determined, and he's choosing the latter with a smile.
In his first few days of training camp, the second-round pick has looked like exactly what he is: a rookie quarterback who has a lot to learn.
Garoppolo was intercepted three times during Saturday's practice and a mistake during goal-line work caused him to a run a lap for a second straight day. Yet speaking after Saturday's practice, he spoke of the "next play mentality" that he's learned from Tom Brady. Think less of an I'm-struggling mindset and more I've-got-this.
"Just picking up the offense one day at a time, really," he said of the early going of camp. "Little bits and pieces here and there. It's a process. There's going to be bumps along the way, but you've just got to learn and improve on that."
Those bumps are common for any young quarterback, but there's a difference between getting to know a new league and system (which would describe Garoppolo's situation) and appearing physically incapable, which also happens (2010 seventh-rounder Zac Robinson come to mind).
It's clear that, despite the misplaced passes and laps run, Garoppolo doesn't feel incapable. It's hard now, but with improvement it will be easier. Read the rest of this entry »
|Saturday notes: Danny Nickerson celebrates belated birthday with Patriots
|07.26.14 at 12:34 pm ET
FOXBORO — The Patriots held their third training camp session of the summer Saturday, practicing for roughly two and a half hours in pads.
Here are a few notes on the session:
– The highlight of the practice came at the end, with Foxboro resident Danny Nickerson coming onto the field for a belated birthday celebration. Nickerson, who turned six on Friday, has an inoperable brain tumor and received 100,000 birthday cards from around the world.
Danny Nickerson & family after entire #Patriots team sings happy birthday 2 him. Brave, upbeat kid. Slaps serious 5! pic.twitter.com/M6I0TieNIL
' Matt Chatham (@chatham58) July 26, 2014
– Defensive lineman Tommy Kelly was on the field in pads, meaning the veteran was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list.
– Saturday appeared to be Julian Edelman appreciation day, as he was thrown several deep balls and received major cheers with each catch. Edelman reeled in four deep passes from various quarterbacks on the day. He also had a diving catch in double coverage later in the practice.
– It wasn't all good for Edelman, however, as he and Tom Brady fell victim to Darrelle Revis multiple times. Revis intercepted Brady on a pair of passes that were intended for Edelman during drills in addition to breaking up passes.
– Rookie quarterback Jimmy Garappolo threw three interceptions and ran the only lap of the session with an unknown flub (it was on the other end of the field; likely a fumble or botched snap) during goal line work. Two of the second-round pick's interceptions were tipped before being snagged, with the other one being a clean pick on a deeper pass. Garappolo got a break from the crowd when he connected on a deep pass with tight end Justin Jones.
– It wasn't the prettiest day for Kenbrell Thompkins, who had a pair of drops. The second-year receiver dropped a pass over the middle from Brady during 7-on-7 work and later failed to secure a pass along the sidelines during passing drills.
– Defensive back Malcolm Butler was beaten by a pair of receivers in 1-on-1 drills. First he was burned by Josh Boyce on a deep pass from Brady and then he was shaken by Edelman on an intermediate route.
|Where the draft picks stand as Patriots roster takes shape
|08.27.13 at 12:54 pm ET
With the Patriots roster slowly but surely taking shape as cuts come into the picture, it's worth taking another look at the team's 2013 draft class and where each of the rookies stand as the the regular season approaches. Here's a quick look at the group, which did not feature a first-round pick.
Jamie Collins, OLB, Southern Miss (second round, 52nd overall)
Collins has done some of the expected and some of the unexpected in his first camp. He was brought in to add a pass-rusher to the team's rotation at linebacker, but he's also seen some time playing inside (he even started in Jarod Mayo's place against the Lions). His best performance of the first three games came against the Buccaneers, as he led the team with six tackles (three solo and one of which was for a loss).
It would seem given that he's played both outside and inside that the Patriots are kind of letting him feel his way around and find a spot, something Bill Belichick hinted at when they drafted him. Assuming he ends up playing mostly outside, the Pats can use two of a group of Dont'a Hightower, Rob Ninkovich and Collins.
Aaron Dobson, WR, Marshall (second round, 59th overall)
The Patriots have thrown to Dobson a ton in the preseason — 21 times, to be exact — and he hadn't done much with it in the first two weeks. Targeted a total of 13 times in the Philadelphia and Tampa Bay games, Thompkins had just four catches for 65 yards. He nearly matched that production in the next game against the Lions, reeling in four catches for 50 yards.
All in all, Dobson hasn't been bad, but undrafted free agent Kenbrell Thompkins has been better. With that being said, expect both rookies to be lined up outside for the Pats when the season starts, but Thompkins should be considered to contribute ahead of the higher profile Dobson.
Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers (third round, 83rd overall)
Ryan had a good week when the Patriots practiced with and played against the Buccaneers, as he had a pick-six against Bucs starter Josh Freeman and practice and returned another interception for a touchdown in the game, the latter of which was against Mike Glennon.
The Patriots have their starters at corner with Aqib Talib, Alfonzo Dennard and nickel Kyle Arrington, but Arrington appears to have played himself into the backup slot corner role behind Arrington. Ras-I Dowling would probably be more likely to play outside than Ryan, but that could change, as the 2011 33rd overall pick remains unproven.
Duron Harmon, S, Rutgers (third round, 91st overall)
Harmon was the biggest head-scratcher of the draft at the time, as he was ranked as the 26th-best safety (good enough to make someone an option as an undrafted free agent), but he ended up being the ninth safety taken.
The Patriots know that Devin McCourty will be one of their starting safeties, and even if Adrian Wilson is on the bubble, they have lots of bodies at the position with Steve Gregory and 2012 second-round Tavon Wilson. Belichick was as complimentary of Harmon as he could be about a rookie recently when he said that he has had "a good camp." So there's that.
Josh Boyce, WR, TCU (fourth round, 102nd overall)
A foot injury kept him off the field in rookie minicamp, but the injury suffered at the combine is in Boyce's rearview mirror now. He's production in games has increased has been greater in the second and third preseason games, as he had no catches (one target) against the Eagles, three grabs on four targets against the Bucs and two catches on five targets against Detroit.
Michael Buchanan, DE/OLB, Illinois (seventh round, 226th overall)
Buchanan finds himself in a battle with the likes of Jake Bequette, Jermaine Cunningham, Justin Francis and Marcus Benard for a job as a defensive end. Given that he probably isn't a serious candidate to make a big impact as a rookie, he might be better off redshirting in some way, shape or form.
Steve Beauharnais, LB, Rutgers (seventh round, 235th overall)
Beauharnais looks to be a smart special teams guy for now, with the potential that he could at some point contribute as a linebacker. It's hard to see him making it to the practice squad if they waive him, as some team would surely grab him.
|Report: Randy Moss close to TV deal with Fox
|08.09.13 at 3:14 pm ET
According to Pro Football Talk, former NFL receiver Randy Moss is close to a television deal with Fox. Moss, 36, last played for the 49ers after sitting out the 2011 season.
The 21st overall pick of the 1998 draft by the Vikings, Moss' most memorable season came in 2007, when he had 1493 receiving yards and set the NFL record for touchdown receptions with 23 as a member of the Patriots. Moss spent parts of four seasons with the Patriots before being traded to the Vikings in a season that saw him play for three teams, as the Titans claimed the troubled receiver after he was waived by the Vikings.
In his career, Moss has played for five teams: the Vikings (twice), the Raiders, the Patriots, the Titans and the 49ers. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time All Pro.
|Friday afternoon practice notes: Julian Edelman leaves early
|08.02.13 at 5:57 pm ET
FOXBORO — While Gillette Stadium was filled with American Idol hopefuls, the Patriots returned to practice for their seventh day of training camp.
– As far as attendance went, Ras-I Dowling, Marcus Cannon, Kevin Haslam, Rob Gronkowski, Jermaine Cunningham and Armond Armstead were all absent. Devin McCourty once again participated but did so in a red (non-contact) jersey.
Asked prior to the practice about his players who have been off the field, Bill Belichick was predictably tight-lipped.
'We have a lot of guys in the day-to-day category," he said. "We'll go out there and see what they can do.'
– One guy the Pats probably don't want to see missing any more time is Julian Edelman, who left practice early after suffering some sort of ailment on a pass from Ryan Mallett late in practice. He didn't participate in any more drills and could later be seen talking to a trainer with no shoes on. Friday was Edelman's second day of practice this preseason, and prior to it Belichick said the veteran receiver had "a long way to go" before he was up to speed.
Prior to ending his day early, Edelman muffed a punt pretty badly but was able to recover it.
– McCourty, who has moved around within the Patriots' secondary over the last two seasons, was used as a cornerback in Friday's practice.
– Edelman aside, the major focus of this preseason is the team's group of receivers, and there was some good and bad to come from the crop on Friday. Fourth-round pick Josh Boyce had some trouble holding onto the ball in drills that focused on quick five-yard passes but later made a nice catch in the corner of the endzone with Alfonzo Dennard in coverage.
Second-rounder Aaron Dobson had a bad bobble and subsequent drop on a pass from Tim Tebow, though he later made up for it with a nice catch on a pass from Ryan Mallett following a flea-flicker. Dobson's best moment on the day came when he beat Aqib Talib clean en route to hauling in a pass in the end zone.
Free agent signing Danny Amendola also had his bright and not-so-bright spots. He had back-to-back ugly plays when he dropped a screen and then fumbled following catch over the middle.
– Not surprisingly, free agent signing Michael Jenkins has not been working with the receivers, but hanging out elsewhere on the field during receiver drills. Despite all of the turnover at the position in the offseason, it was hard to imagine Jenkins being a serious candidate to make the team.
– Talib picked off Tom Brady during drills with paddles being held up at the line of scrimmage.
– There were some big names in local sports as Boston college hockey coach Jerry York, Athletic Director Brad Bates and director of hockey operations John Hegarty were on the field Friday taking in practice.
|Rookie Refresher: Josh Boyce
|07.23.13 at 3:56 pm ET
In the days leading up to training camp, WEEI.com will reopen the book on the team's 2013 draft class. The Pats, who traded their first-round pick to the Vikings, brought in seven players via the draft.
Josh Boyce
Wide receiver, TCU
Drafted: Fourth round (102nd overall)
Height/weight: 5-foot-11 1/8, 1206 pounds
Why they drafted him: Boyce crushed it at the combine, and he did so with a broken bone in his right foot. He was the only receiver to rank in the top four in both the 40-yard dash (4.38 seconds) and bench press reps (22). He also finished third in the broad jump (10-foot-11).
As the Patriots have learned over the years with speedsters like Bethel Johnson and Chad Jackson, combine performance can often mean very, very little when it comes to determining whether somebody is an NFL quality player. Boyce led TCU in both receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in each of last two college seasons, and he did so with shaky quarterback play after the departure of Andy Dalton. His best season came as a sophomore in 2011, when he hauled in 61 passes for 998 yards and nine touchdowns.
What to expect from him as a rookie: Boyce's right foot injury limited him this offseason. He was not one of the players the Pats placed on the active/physically unable to perform list, so he should be able to hit the ground running as camp opens.
That's good for Boyce because given the Pats' situation at receiver, there is potential playing time to be earned. Boyce will compete with fellow rookie Aaron Dobson for the outside position left vacant by the release of Brandon Lloyd. Dobson should have the upper hand given that he's bigger and is a much better pass-catcher than Boyce, but the Pats are clearly intent on developing receivers who can make long-term contributions. That means Boyce shouldn't be counted out to make an impact going forward.
Boyce was not a return man at TCU, so don't expect him to be in the NFL.
|Rookie Refresher: Duron Harmon
|07.23.13 at 3:00 pm ET
In the days leading up to training camp, WEEI.com will reopen the book on the team's 2013 draft class. The Pats, who traded their first-round pick to the Vikings, brought in seven players via the draft.
Duron Harmon
Safety, Rutgers
Drafted: Third round (91st overall)
Height/weight: 6-foot-0, 198 pounds
Why they drafted him: Because it was hilarious? Nobody expected Duron Harmon to be drafted. If they had to be honest, Mike Mayock, Mel Kiper and Todd McShay will probably say they had never heard of him. He was the 26th-ranked safety by ESPN Scouts, Inc. (23 safeties were drafted, and he was the ninth selected), and when Harmon was announced as the 91st overall pick, neither the NFL Network nor ESPN had highlights of him to show.
But he's a Rutgers guy, and nobody watches Rutgers like Bill Belichick, who at this point appears to be obsessed with defenders who played under Greg Schiano. Harmon had a good sense of humor about it when he was drafted, as he certainly didn't sound like someone who thought he was going in the third round.
What to expect from him as a rookie: Harmon is a strong safety, a position at which the Patriots are currently set with Adrian Wilson. Despite Wilson's years of success in this league, you have to consider that he's 33 and won't be in the league forever. Perhaps the Pats view Harmon as something as a project who can eventually take over and play alongside Devin McCourty once Wilson's playing days are done, but he'll have to compete with Tavon Wilson for that role.
In the meantime, Harmon can contribute on special teams, where people probably expected him to play when they were projecting him to be a fringe NFL prospect. The jury is still out on Tavon Wilson, another safety the Patriots took earlier than expected (second round in 2012), so either the Patriots see something that other teams don't or they just really like reaching when it comes to safeties.

Gore Winter Gloves
These are very nice and warm. Definitely wind proof, but I am yet to ride them in the rain so can't give the waterproof comments yet.
I also agree that the sizes probably run a tiny little bit small, but I generally wear a medium, and the medium, while tight, are still ok for me. If you are borderline between sizes, I would go up.
The only thing bothersome is like Bent-Jarle says about the lining following your hands out of the gloves, but it just means you have to pay attention when taking them off; small hassle for very warm gloves!

I just tried wearing these gloves on a cold morning ride, it was 37 degrees. Within 30 minutes I had to turn around and go home, they are garbage, don't buy them, waste of money

Best Doughnuts St. Louis 2000 - Krispy Kreme
6935 S. Lindbergh Blvd.
South St. Louis County, MO 63125
At Krispy Kreme, it's almost always time to make the doughnuts. And when it is, they're more than happy to let you know with their neon "Hot Doughnuts Now" sign. If you happen to be passing by when it lights up -- or perhaps just lurking outside waiting for it to happen -- you can stop in for a special taste treat. Not that Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed doughnuts aren't special enough after they've cooled. Doughnuts are a particularly subjective thing, and we're sure that your neighborhood bakery produces some fine ones, including one particular variety that might even be your favorite. But no little circle of dough has gotten the attention of St. Louisans like the Krispy Kreme Original Glazed, compelling folks to make doughnut pilgrimages to the national chain's four local outlets, in Fenton, Ferguson and O'Fallon, Mo., and on South Lindbergh. Most folks can't just buy a dozen -- unless they're prepared to report back home or to work with those doughnuts having suffered some serious damage and with plenty of telltale crumbs trailing down their chests. Incidentally, we know that Krispy Kreme serves more than a dozen varieties of doughnuts, and we swear we'll get to the others someday. But every time we're feeling adventurous, that "Hot Doughnuts" sign clicks on, and the same-old same-old seems like it would be the right choice once again. And it is.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana man who admitted to fatally bludgeoning and dismembering a 9-year-old girl he was baby-sitting just days before Christmas was sentenced Monday to life in prison.
Michael Plumadore last month pleaded guilty to murder, abuse of a corpse and removing a dead body from the scene in the Dec. 22 death of Aliahna Maroney-Lemmon. Prosecutors had considered the death penalty but agreed to life in prison without the possibility of parole in exchange for the guilty plea.
Oneita J. Young, 68, a resident of rural Churubusco and wife of David L. Young, died at 2:15 a.m. on Monday, June 18, 2012, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne.
Mrs. Young was born in Wolf Lake on Dec. 1, 1943, a daughter of Archie A. and Arrena (Leitch) Weidman.
Survivors include her husband David, her mother, one daughter, one brother, one sister, one stepbrother and one stepsister and four grandchildren.
Stephen J. Abshire, 65, a resident of Columbia City and formerly of Churubusco, passed away at 3:14 p.m. on Monday, May 22, 2012, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. He had been seriously ill since last August.
Mr. Abshire was born March 28, 1947, in Bloomington, a son of Roy E. and Dorthea L. (Stagg) Abshire and spent part of his formative years in Brown County. He moved to Tipton as a teenager and graduated from Tipton High School in 1966.
Editor's note: The following is the fourth of a four-part series in honor of Father's Day.
COLUMBIA CITY — Police Chief Tim Longenbaugh carries a new badge and sits in a new office.
After 10 years in the role of detective, Longenbaugh took the position of chief earlier this year.
Being the Columbia City police chief is a tall order for any person, but Longenbaugh's greatest challenge is being a father to three, soon-to-be, teenagers while not allowing his job to consume every hour of his day.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City High School's band, The Marching Eagles, sponsored a car and motorcycle show Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. The event was held at the Columbia City Eagles lodge No. 1906, located at 306 W. Van Buren St., Columbia City.
All proceeds made from the event will benefit the band program at Columbia City High School. The Columbia City Marching Eagles also had a hog roast Saturday at 4 p.m. At 8 p.m., live music was provided by "Walking Papers."
COLUMBIA CITY — According to a new state law, all developmental entities must adopt rules against nepotism by July 1 of this year.
"The legislature has passed a new state statute dealing with nepotism which involves employees and contracts," said City Attorney Marcia McNagny at the Common Council of Columbia City's meeting last week. "July 1 is our time to get this done so I wanted to make sure the resolution was in your hands."
Columbia City's youth baseball league got a fresh set of competition Saturday, hosting Garrett's teams at Morsches Park.
Marshall A. "Smitty" Smith, 85, of Columbia City, passed away at 11:10 p.m. Wednesday, June 13, 2012, at Peabody Retirement Center, North Manchester.
Born March 20, 1927, in Whitley County, he was the son of Lewis and Maude Martha (Kneller) Smith.
He attended the public school system and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.
In 1954, he married Barbara L. (Hire) Smith. A lifetime Whitley County resident and part-time farmer, he owned Smitty's Auto Parts since 1985 and also worked for General Electric for 20 years. Smitty, a "tinkerer," loved to create things with wood and metal.

This is one of the most valuable purchases of maps in the Library's history. It includes the collection of Lord Amherst (1717-97), Commander-in-Chief of the Seven Years War, and that of Sir Augustus Frazer (1776-1835), who appears to have formed a major topographical archive at Woolwich. Both collections are rich in materials for North America and Great Britain.
A third smaller collection relating to the same regions was that of Richard A. Davenport. The other major component was the 'H J' collection, presented to the RUSI by Sir Henry Jones, comprising nearly 600 manuscript maps of continental theatres of war in the 18th century, many of Prussian origin. The collection may thus have come from a Prussian archive. The RUSI collection is divided between Department of Manuscripts and the Map Library.
- (1) 2-volume handwritten catalogue listing printed and manuscript maps. Naval and military headings with geographical index.
- (2) Printed list of manuscript maps in accession number order.
- (3) Database printout of RUSI (Misc.) collection. Geographical (Dewey), date and shelfmark sequences.
- (4) Handwritten list of maps on rollers. Arrangement based on (1)
- (5) Indexes of Manuscript maps (1992).
- (6) Catalogue of Additions to 1971-5(forthcoming)(the manuscript maps only).
- (7) Manuscripts catalogue
- None of the items in the RUSI collection are included in the Maps CD-ROM catalogue.

This text is a complete overview of optimization from basic preliminaries (definitions of convex functions, what optimization is, etc.) on to application of specific approaches, such as the interior point algorithm and the active set method. The table of contents and text itself reference page numbers and content not printed in the book. This material, which covers rudimentary preliminaries, such as notation, linear algebra basics, and more, is available from the publisher's site. I had no problem downloading the material in PDF format, along with hundreds of pages of prepared teaching material. Exercise solutions can only be downloaded by instructors and the text provides no exercise solutions.
The gist of this book is to patiently and completely provide a foundation for developing techniques to formulate numerical problems so that they can be solved by existing software. The actual use of such software is not articulated in detail. The Matlab Optimization Toolbox is in the author's mind here, but do not expect code samples or syntax guidelines. The focus is on introducing a taxonomy of numerical problems and techniques for solving them. Engineering case studies (circuit design, storage of sparse matrices, least-cost production, etc.) are used to illustrate in detail the formulation process.
Five general problem classes are considered: linear systems of equations, non-linear systems of equations, unconstrained optimization, equality constrained optimization, and inequality constrained optimization. In order to supply depth, the author forgoes more exotic subjects in optimization that are afforded only a cursory overview in other texts on the topic. Problem features such as monotonicity, convexity, symmetry, and sparsity are given focus.

By: Amanda Ciavarri
Children at school number 28 have been bundling up for class for weeks. It's all because of a heating problems, with some classrooms being uncomfortably cold.
To make matters worse, parents tell News10NBC they weren't notified about this problem until today.
We wanted to know why.
The chilly classroom temps are all because a boiler line became clogged. This issue popped up over the winter holiday break, and the district says they thought they fixed it. But this week the problem was back. The classrooms affected are kindergarten through 5th grade students.
The district let parents know today about the heating problem, and some parents say they would have liked to know much sooner.
"We really look for a temp 67 to 69 during the day," said Mike Schmidt, Director of Operations for Rochester City School District.
But the past few days, school number 28 has has problems with their heating system, causing eight classrooms in the northwest part of the building to fall 4 degrees.
"You know over the course of the day it can be uncomfortable, and that's not our optimal learning environment," said Schmidt.
The cause of the problem is a clogged boiler line. The district became aware of the problem over the Christmas break and thought they had fixed it. But the problem continued this week, and today the school sent home a note with student letting their parents know about the problem.
Melissa Loeca, a parent of a student at school number 28 said, " I have a right to know how comfortable my kids are here, not only academically, but physically."
So we took that concern to the school district.
"I think, I can't speak specific to the parent notification process, but I think when I was in the building today, and I was over there early this morning. It was a situation where the rooms were cool, they were uncomfortable. I think from my office the notification of parents would be when a situation was unsafe, at no point was it unsafe," said Schmidt.
The district says they are taking steps to make sure kids are comfortable in class.
"We are going to put in place a team, that was there all day today and will be back tomorrow to check all the units in the classrooms that I feel are below where I feel they need to be to have a optimal learning environment," said Schmidt.
The district is also bringing in space heaters, which will be turned on in the classrooms two hours before students arrive to help warm them up.

This unassuming bar is the City Centre home of Manchester's best-known microbrewery, Marble Beers. Unlike the beautiful surrounds of the Marble Arch Inn), 57 Thomas Street is sparsely decorated, with just one long table stretching the length of the bar, for starters. The strength of the place can be seen in its mantra of 'Beer & Food', which is exactly what it does - and does well. Hand-pumped real ale, imported beers and a mighty impressive cheeseboard offer a strangely satisfying no-frills ale experience.
Area Northern Quarter
Transport Metrolink Shudehill, or City Centre buses, or Victoria rail
Telephone 161 832 0521
Open 11.30am-midnight daily
One of the best - and smallest - pubs in the city. Great beer, cracking food, casual, relaxed, communal atmosphere centred on one table, with a selection of games (chess/draughts) available for all. Did I mention the beer? It's GREAT.

But Giddens is working this fall to provide the easiest, and most economical way, to not only fetch animals off the streets but to also make sure that offspring prevention can be provided through spaying and neutering.
Starting with her Scratch & Dent program, when coming to the Jones County Animal Control, just north of Gray on Highway 129 at 395 Eatonton Highway, there will be no charge for adoption of animals that have special needs. These would be animals that may have a handicap, a permanent limp or maybe just a crooked smile. And with free adoption also comes a certificate to take your new friend to the vet and receive a free spay or neuter. While the cages are normally full, she sees these types of canines and felines being a bit more difficult to get into a home.
For those specifically looking for a kitty to enjoy, Giddens is offering her program Free Cat Friday any Friday between 9 and 1. There will be no adoption charge to pick out a wonderful friend that can be taken home to share with the family.
And as Giddens says, "Oh yes, it's free."

Definition of Autoimmunity
The healthy human body is equipped with a powerful set of tools for resisting the onslaught of invading microorganisms (such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites). Unfortunately, this set of tools, known as the immune system, sometimes goes awry and attacks the body itself. These misdirected immune responses are referred to as autoimmunity, which can be demonstrated by the presence of autoantibodies or T lymphocytes reactive with host antigens.

I hasten to support and send congratulations to Faisal Robleh for a splendid article on Ethiopia and the current cries of anti-Ethiopian ( not necessarily pro-Somali ) nationalism. Faisal is absolutely right that the Ethiopian factor has played in the past, as it does now, a major part in Somalia 's clan politics the clans being our real and indisputable political parties.
There was an agreement between Mengistu on the one hand and a triumvirate of Somali war-lords ( Cydiid , Tuur , and Jees ) on ther hand on how to divide Somalia after the overthrow of Siad Barre . As a matter of fact Mengistu is reported to have said just before his own debacle and after signing that agreement , We would have seen the end of Somalia were it not for the pressure of the Weyanes or words to that effect. But, when we ourselves were united we also played a large part in destabilizing Ethiopia , and the current regime in Ethiopia owes its origin partly to Somali encouragement and support. Ethiopia , let us not forget, is now a divided country; for one thing, it has become two countries ( Eritrea and the residual Ethiopia ), for another, there are nationalisms still simmering in the present-day Ethiopia and we played a decisive role in all this.
Somalia has been a source of trouble for Ethiopia , not only because of the territorial dispute but also because we have fostered different nationalisms within Ethiopia proper thereby endangering the very existence of Ethiopia . But two of the salient differences between Ethiopia and Somalia are: (a) Somalia is homogeneous and Ethiopia is very heterogeneous; (b) Somalis are attached more to their livestock and for them unrestricted grazing is most important, whilst Ethiopians are very much attached ( almost to the point of worship ) to the land which they cultivate and live on. It was because of this latter observation that the British thought that the Somalis would not raise a voice if, upon the transfer of the Haud and Reserved Area an area of 25,000 square miles they would be guaranteed unrestricted transhumance. The British realized that they underestimated the reaction of the Somalis and tried unsuccessfully to rectify the situation. That, however, is a different story.
We should understand and appreciate the fact that Ethiopia today is vastly different from the Imperial Ethiopia we knew; Ethiopian mentality has been perceptibly changing and the attitude towards Somalis has also been changing for the better since the overthrow of the Emperor. Even in the days of Mengistu it was clearly understood that the economies of Ethiopia and Somalia were so manifestly interdependent that the two countries shared a common survival which would be endangered if they did not work together towards its maximization. I saw these positive changes unfolding before my eyes in the course of the twenty-two years I lived in Addis Ababa , not as an Ethiopian national but as a Somali national working for the U.N. It is regrettable, however, that our own internal divisions did not allow us to engage our Ethiopian neighbors in any useful negotiation. On the contrary, we ourselves invited them to divide us from the moment the SSDF and SNM arrived and took up residence in Addis Ababa .
When we ourselves seek different alliances with Ethiopia , the Yemen , Egypt , Libya and God knows who else against each other Somali nationalism can only be found in the gutter; our situation is such that even puny Djibouti made transparent attempts to play the role of a kingmaker in Somalia . I agree with the State Department that the Somalis themselves have the means to restore their moribund state. But the means are first and foremost in the hands of those who dragged our dignity to the gutter and who are crying today that the sovereignty of Somalia is being compromised by inviting in foreign troops. Our sovereignty has been non-existent in practical terms for the last fifteen years. How can we then raise our heads with pride and cry sovereignty?
I agree that there should be no need for foreign troops to make us behave ourselves, if we behave ourselves on our own. But then if we were willing to put our house in order we would not have troubled the neighbors and the rest of the world for that matter - with desperate pleas for help. Our capital is unsafe, our people are displaced and dispossessed, our refugees are scattered in the four corners of the globe and the nation is held hostage to the whims of the riffraff generals' of ragtag militia armies who are playing havoc in the capital. Yet, our government in exile cannot temporarily settle elsewhere in the country until we bring order and security to our national capital? A strange logic indeed!
I wish to close which a quotation which might help us reflect on our situation as Somalis:
Being ourselves the sowers and the seeds,
The night that covers and the lights that fade,
The spear that pierces and the side that bleeds,
The lips betraying and the life betrayed.
If ,as I think, Oscar Wilde's above lines truly depict our situation why do we have to complain about others, and to others to correct our own multiple follies ?

Let me see...how many of you are small business owners?
All of this..typical and FUNNY!
I, for one, appreciate this article.
I think it focuses on some things we had forgotten.
However, those in charge now must make some hard choices as to where we go from here.
Is this the best we can do?
I hope not.
It's really annoying year after year to say wait till next...whatever.
Are we becoming Ole Miss (always thinking that we are better than we really are or that the fix is right around the corner)?
Two and done every other year isn't going to cut it!
Why don't you bammers go back to your own sites and anxiously wait for the next time Saban f*rts so we can be left alone to talk about baseball (win or lose)and other things that pertain to life in the real world (far away/beyond whatever world it is that you guys live in).
Ok. Bottom line.
Tonight's game (men vs. boys) indicative of the last several years in AU baseball.
We can continue to make excuses or we can strive to revamp our sports program, which,
other than the 2010 football NC, has been lackadaisical at best.
I like all sports, not just football.
It starts at the top....
How about winning an SEC game, Pawlaski.
No disrespect, but are you paying attention to today's game?
Well, 1983autiger, we are not only close in years, but also in the way we look at sports.
I'm worried about the whole situation on the plains.
This one , too, will be vacated.
Go C-A-R-D-S!
All true basketball fans, no matter the allegiance, hope for the best in this football state.
Good Luck, Coach Haase!
Nice hire...Cal, Kansas, UNC...a solid basketball background!
Nice series...winning the hard way.
I may change my mind about Baseball Coach.
AU, that is!
The third jewel in the Triple Crown has a baseball team that's better than ours?
Just not enough...Ward/Chubb/Barbee...Whoa... point shaving...please!
We suck!
Let's move on... time to clean the slate.

Changing the Name of the Mac
So I just got a new laptop, the MacBook Pro, and my brother started it up and put information into it, and now the Mac identifies itself by his name. Obviously, I changed the name of the admin from his to mine, but the header in Finder is still [home icon] and then his name (you know what I mean? The little picture of the house and then the name of the mac?).
Is there anyway to change the name the Mac identifies itself by?
Not that I know of. Your best bet is to just create a new account. This goes all the way back the Unix days (osx is built on unix) you never want to rename an account.
The home folder can be renamed, but it can be tricky and is not recommended. The simplest thing to do is to create a new account, log into it, then delete the old account and call it a day.
More info here:
Mac OS X: How to change user short name or home directory name
OK, now I have another question.
I thought I followed everything that that link told me to do, but I think I messed up switching the files from the one user to this one.
Because I just copied one of the files in the old user, and replaced the file in the new user with that one, and so on with all the main files (Desktop, documents, library, music, movies, pictures, public, and sites. I think that's all of them, anyway). I copied all of those one by one from the old user and used them to replace the files in the new user so that I could have all my files on my new user.
But now that I'm on the new user, when I try to open one of those files it says "You do not have permission to see the contents of this folder." And I've already made this new user an Admin.
How do I fix that?
EDIT: Never mind, I got it. (:

Bishop 'very disappointed' by women bishop defeat
Posted: November 22, 2012|
CHURCH leaders in Notts say they are disappointed at the Church of England's vote against women bishops.
The measure fell at the final hurdle by just six votes in the General Synod on Tuesday.
Supporters vowed to continue their campaign but it could be five years before another vote is held.
The Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, the Right Reverend Paul Butler, wrote to all his clergy and ministers to say: "I am personally very disappointed. Many will also be angry and bewildered and everyone will need time to take stock and reflect on what we do next."
The Bishop will be setting up an open meeting, open to anyone, in the next few weeks to look at future options.
He added: "This was the letter I honestly did not want to have to send, after yesterday's vote. But we are all called to continue to live out our calling to join together in the transforming mission of God.
"Many will feel Synod's decision has hindered that work, but it emphatically has not stopped it. God will keep working, and so must we."
Liz Murray, assistant curate for the Eastwood and Brinsley with Underwood parish, which has two churches, also spoke out against the decision.
"I am surprised and disappointed," she said. "I really thought it would go through.
"This is a major blow to the Church, but I think we can survive it.
"And I think for the wider Anglican community it seems a little embarrassing, because New Zealand, states in Africa, Australia and America all have women priests already.
"But my hopes are high this will be revisited soon."
The draft measure was carried in the three houses of the General Synod but failed to gain the necessary two thirds majority among lay members.
The House of Bishops voted 44 in favour, with three against and two recorded abstentions. In the House of Clergy, 148 voted in favour, 45 against and there were no abstentions.
But in the House of Laity, 74 voted against, compared to 132 in favour with no abstentions.
Supporters of women bishops were "devastated" and betrayed.
Sally Barnes, of campaign group Women and the Church (Watch), said she and her colleagues were "very angry".
She said: "My initial reaction is one of deep sorrow at the missed opportunity, especially as we know that the House of Bishops really wanted it to go through.
"We have always said that the way of voting people into the Synod needs a wider electorate to get a wider representation of views because they've gone against the stated view of the wider Church."

The latest New York Times/CBS News poll brings moderately positive news about public attitudes toward the war in Iraq. For the raw results, click here. For the Times write-up, click here.
The percentage of the public saying that invading Iraq was the correct decision has risen slightly. Forty-two percent now say it was the right thing to do, while 51 percent say we should have stayed out. That's a shift from the May poll that had found only 35 percent in support of the invasion and 61 percent claiming it was a mistake. In addition, the public assessment of how well things are going in Iraq has turned slightly more upbeat. While only 3 percent think that things are going "very well" (up from 2 percent), 29 percent now think things are going "somewhat well," a six-point increase from the previous poll. At the same time, the percentage of those saying things are going "very badly" has fallen from 45 percent to 35 percent—a whopping 10-point decline.
It would be a mistake to read too much into these results. It is not, by any stretch, evidence that the public has turned in favor of the war effort. But it is an indication that public sentiment remains a bit unsettled, and that positive news from the front—of the kind we have been hearing increasingly in the past couple of months—can have some impact on the public's views.
Moreover, a new Washington Post/ABC News poll suggests that most Americans, while in favor of withdrawal, are not demanding a complete pullout. I found these findings, buried deep in the Post article, interesting:
About six in 10 said forces should be withdrawn to avoid further casualties, even if civil order is not restored, and 56 percent want to decrease the forces in Iraq. Both figures are at new highs, but few Republicans agree with either position.
Even among Democrats, there is no consensus about the timing of any troop withdrawal. While three-quarters want to decrease the number of troops in Iraq, only a third advocate a complete, immediate withdrawal. There is even less support for that option among independents (15 percent) and Republicans (6 percent).
If I had to sum up these findings, I would say that, while antiwar forces are still winning the battle for public opinion, an information surge is allowing supporters of the war effort to gain some ground. Whether they can consolidate and even expand these gains remains to be seen. That will turn on how much success American forces have over the next few months. But the war on the home front is not irretrievably lost.

Sociological Impact on Child Protection
Professor Corinne May-Chahal's work on child protection projects is an innovative blend of disciplines, with collaborations between Social Scientists, Software Developers and Law Enforcement agencies. Her work focuses on child empowerment, aiming to give children a voice 'to be heard in ways they want to be and to be responded to in ways that help them.' Corinne has been researching child protection for over twenty years, her PhD thesis, 'an ethnographic study of the disclosure of child sexual abuse', marks the beginning of these research interests. Corinne states '[Through my PhD work] I realised that the child's perspective and voice was very difficult for professionals to hear and respond to', which is something she has sought to change through her work.
Corinne's current research (explained in her own words) looks at children's identities in a way which incorporates both their online and offline selves, researching how these are not exclusive entities, but interlinking parts of the self; and utilising theories surrounding cyborgs and childhood. We live in a digital age, and children are surfing the web before they can fully recognise any risks and dangers of, for example, chat rooms and social networking sites (and indeed, many adults are not aware of these risks and dangers either). Crucially, Corinne emphasises how the framing of abuse in an online environment constructs children as victims; through notions of 'victimhood' (Wattam, 1992; Parton, Thorpe, Wattam, 1996) and helplessness – a common trope of child internet safety. (Some examples of the (adult) predator, (child) prey opposition can be found later in this article, to demonstrate this idea.)
While Corinne's work is about increasing children's safety and protecting them against key online threats like child abuse media and child grooming, her research aims to provide children with the agency to protect themselves, an opportunity to take control of their own safety. Children are no longer simply victims, and can be empowered to begin protecting themselves, and hopefully also ask adults for support and advice too – Corinne's project is not a case of children becoming completely self-reliant, but a means of opening communication, bringing these issues to the forefront, and increasing safety through being able to talk about these online dangers, and talk to somebody if they feel uncomfortable or at risk in any way.
Online child protection research has been funded by the EPSRC/ESRC on ISIS and EU funded iCOP projects, developing ethics-centred frameworks to monitor social networks and file sharing networks for the purpose of online child protection, supporting law enforcement agencies. This work aims to minimise risks of child exploitation, namely adults grooming children (adults wishing to 'sexually exploit children in chat rooms and web-based communities can use such forums to groom children and plan paedophilia-related activities'), and the distribution and sharing of child abuse media ('File-sharing systems are used to share child abuse media and hundreds of searches for child abuse media occur each second').
So, how did they set about achieving this? The projects developed innovative methods of digital language and image analysis through the creation and use of original software tools. (You can hear Corinne explain more about this project on podsocs, a site with various podcasts, sponsored by Griffith University, Australia.) Corinne and team gathered data from schools in the North-West of England, researching and identifying ways children distinguished the ages and gender of the people they spoke to online through Turing type experiments, and misuse case scenarios were applied with focus groups of law enforcement personnel. The ties with law enforcement – both from the UK and Europe – on this project helped to ensure ethical practice, relevance and applicability of the data and the work's progression.
The team created a free and downloadable app, ChildDefence, which enables children to identify the age and gender of those they are speaking to online. This wasn't, however, the original goal. The ISIS project, the first of the two projects surrounding this topic Corinne was a part of, wanted to develop tools to track paedophiles online to aid law enforcement agencies. They focused on natural language analysis of children's chat in order to do this, hoping to identify age through language use. The research surrounding this was in-depth, requiring a firm understanding of how children use chat online; information was gathered in whole school experiments, getting children to chat online and to estimate the age and gender of the person they were speaking to. After the work in the schools, the children were debriefed, and Corinne and her team's aims were made clear to the participants – the goal of training software tools for law enforcement to increase their safety online. The children actually requested the tools to be able to do this for themselves, which was considered a fantastic idea, and the app was created by ISIS Forensics. Corinne is excited by the possibilities of collaboration, and states: 'This is a good example of what the partnership enables us to do; individually we would never have thought of the app – it was a product of the collaboration not just between us but with the research participants too.' With more and more publicity surrounding internet safety, Corinne's work is a very contemporary, current, and critical concern, and these solutions match not just the problem, but are also modern and inviting resolutions for the times we live in, and the children these solutions aim to defend.

ok, nothing is better than a Guinness on draft and some good pub food. The pub food menu has good choices.

We ate here last night, and we had the most amazing experience. The food was excellent, and the service was even better. They went above and beyond to accomodate us. I asked for yellow mustard for my burger. Unfortunately, the yellow mustard they had on hand was very spicy. Without tasting it, I put a lot on my burger. When I bit into it, I couldn't eat it due to the spice. When the wonderful woman who I assume was the manager checked on us, I told her what happened. She replaced my burger, no questions asked, and she even tracked down yellow mustard for me!! We will be back on each visit to new york. My family and I agree that customer service like this is so hard to find!

Went here this past Friday, and just loved it! We had the 3 appetizers special between the two of us, and everything was just delicious - we had the chicken quesadillas, jalapeno poppers and the wonderful italian flatbread with goat cheese - the order came quickly, everything was fresh and hot, and our server was quick but didn't rush us. Lively scene and great food - a perfect Fri night!

Great food. My boyfriend and I stopped in for dinner on Friday night and our waitress recommended we try the dinner specials so we did. They were fantastic. I had a grilled vegetable sandwich and my boyfriend had the fish. Both dishes melted in your mouth they were so tasty. The service was great and the manager even stopped by to see how we were doing. I can't wait to go back!

I have been to this pub a couple times. Once I sat at the bar for drinks and the bartenders were these cute and friendly Irish boys. (yes ladies, I said Irish boys!) Another time I sat at a table and with some friends for dinner. Our server was a cute little brunette. She was very sweet, attentive, and very fast. We always had full drinks in front of us and never had to wait long for anything. I had the blackened mahi mahi sandwich and it was excellent. I highly recommend the pub! I know I am going back

I stopped into the Pig N Whistle last week and I was blown away! Got there just in time for the live music. My friends and I got a nice, big table in the back (great atmosphere) and ordered appetizers and drinks. The food was great (Best Mozzerella Sticks in Town!) and the beer selection was fantastic. Great service and a great night all around.
