App World to distribute Android apps for BlackBerry PlayBook
BlackBerry maker RIM has just announced that they'll be providing a way for developers to package, sign, and distribute Android apps for the upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook. (They'll also be able to develop BlackBerry Java and, soon, C/C++ apps). iPad has a huge head start, but this could prove an interesting way to mitigate that lead:
"The BlackBerry PlayBook is an amazing tablet. The power that we have embedded creates one of the most compelling app experiences available in a mobile computing device today," said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. "The upcoming addition of BlackBerry Java and Android apps for the BlackBerry PlayBook on BlackBerry App World will provide our users with an even greater choice of apps and will also showcase the versatility of the platform."
Support will be provided for Android 2.3 apps, so more Galaxy Tab 7-inch style big phone apps than Android 3.0 Honeycomb-style tablet apps on something like the Xoom, but it does immediately skyrocket the potential number of apps available for the PlayBook.
"Potential" because that devs have to choose on a individual basis to submit their apps to BlackBerry App world. It doesn't look like PlayBook is getting the Android Market (or Amazon Appstore), or that all Android 2.3 apps can just be sideloaded and run on the PlayBook. I'm guessing if the process is easy — there will be some porting involved and the apps will run in a "player" on the PlayBook — and the money there — if PlayBook sells well — devs might just jump on the extra customer pool.
So does this change anything on the competitive landscape? Could it make PlayBook one of the strongest Android tablet alternatives in addition to its BlackBerry foundation? Could it pose even more of a threat to Apple's iPad 2? Or do too many development choices harm the overall experience?

GDC 2012 EXCLUSIVE: Epic Games Founder Tim Sweeney Looks to the Future of Gaming
Published 3 years, 4 months ago by John Gaudiosi
Tim Sweeney founded Epic Games as a college student living in his mother's house. Back then, he chose the name Epic Mega Games to give the illusion of something more than a one-man operation. But those were the Shareware PC days, when gamers voted with their wallets and creative coders could make a good living off of a hit game. A lot has changed in the 20 years since Epic Games was founded. But one thing has remained the same. Tim Sweeney remains at the forefront of technology. And it seems like the entire game industry taps into Unreal Engine 3 technology these days.
Epic Games was showcasing new Unreal Engine 3 technology to press and previewing Unreal Engine 4 tech to developers at its booth at GDC 2012. Sweeney took a few minutes to talk about the future of gaming in this exclusive interview.
What are your thoughts on how far technology has come since you launched Epic Games 20 years ago?
As somebody who was born before the personal computer era even began, it's amazing how much the technology has changed and how much that's enabled better experiences with gaming and computing and the entire consumer experience. At the same time, we're on the verge of a new generation of hardware. Everybody is talking about will there be another console generation or are consoles good enough today and perhaps we've already seen our industry's brightest days. But I don't think so at all.
How do you see technology evolving over the next 20 years?
Over the next 20 years? The next 20 years is a hard one. I think the line between computing and the real world is going to continue to blur. There's this YouTube video going around with this father who hands a magazine to his little girl. The girl picks it up, drags her fingers over it, and it doesn't respond. She gets really frustrated and thinks it's a broken iPad.
How do you see that tablet generation impacting games?
I just think about what that generation is going to be like when they reach college age. It's going to be a different world. It will be something that we would recognize as science fiction. You watch a Star Trek episode right now, and the tricorder is really big and clunky. You're thinking, "My iPhone is so much better than this." I think that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Where do you see opportunities to innovate in games?
Smartphones today have pervasive connectivity and GPS and orientation sensors. My iPhone always knows exactly where it is. I can now go on a hiking trip and never have any possible risk of getting lost because it always knows exactly where I am and places me on a map. This is fundamentally important. If you look at what Facebook does with social networking, enabling people to make social connections, there's a whole new dimension of that that could be connected physically based on physical proximity connecting people to business and other nearby aspects. I think that technologies like Google Search haven't even begun to touch on that, and then there's the thought of integrating your 3D positioning in the real world into games through augmented reality and that's incredibly tantalizing. There have been some early experiments there, but I think that's a whole area that's prone to a major revolution over the next decade or so as people just discover the right ideas for games and the right mix that makes an entertaining experience.
What are your thoughts on the future of motion sensor gaming?
With Kinect we've seen the idea of pervasive sensors becoming aware of your body and its motion and being able to replicate that in a computer environment. Kinect is an idea that's been around for a long time, but the Kinect is the first consumer product that actually carried that thought to its full completion with a combination of some amazing Microsoft research work on camera technology and 3D image recognition that combined with a fun consumer experience as developed by game creators. We're starting to see a lot of new possibilities, but just think what's going to happen over the next decade or two as these sensors become mounted to every device? What if you iPhone could see your entire body and could recognize gestures and what other control mechanisms could we have that way as we get more and more precise input from these sorts of devices?

Recipe by Chantal Pare'
"Like a ray of tropical sunshine in the morning, combining the taste of banana, coconut, and pineapple with just a hint of nutmeg."

1 cup
1/2 cup
rolled oats
1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup
wheat bran
1/3 cup
white sugar
4 teaspoons
baking powder
1/8 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
mashed banana
beaten egg
1 (8 ounce) can
crushed pineapple, well drained
1 cup
coconut milk
1/8 teaspoon
coconut extract
These muffins are great! I modified them by doing half wheat, half white flour and adding a dash of cinnamon. I also used three bananas and most of a 20 oz can of pineapple, because the point of making this recipe was to use them up. One modification I highly recommend is using the drained off pineapple juice for cooking the oatmeal, it adds natural sweetness and gives it a kick. The muffins needed to cook for longer than indicated, closer to 35 or 40 minutes.
I realized after I'd mixed these that there's no fat (butter or oil) in them. I'm assuming the coconut milk is the sub for that. I did use authentic canned coconut milk. These muffins completely stuck to the paper liners and had a weird texture. I didn't like the smell or taste either. They did not taste like pineapple, coconut or banana. I won't make these again.

I made this recipe exactly how it was published and it smelled and tasted a little strange. I don't think the pineapple mixed well with the other parts. Other than that they were ok
This is one of those recipes that sounded so good but was a disappointment. They turned out very mushy inside even with extra cooking time added on. The flavors were too mild.
I played with this recipe a bit to suit me, but they came out tasting pretty decent. I used skim milk instead of coconut and upped the extract to a full teaspoon to try to balance that, I used upwards of 1/2 teaspoon I'd say of fresh grated nutmeg, used about 12 ounces of pineapple, and used brown sugar instead of white because I just like brown sugar. My muffins looked gorgeous in the oven, but then fell flat once I pulled them out. They were browned on top but kind of raw on the inside, too. I don't know if that will fix itself overnight, but the flavor isn't bad. It's a bunch of mild flavors coming at you, but they don't all hit you at once...they're nice. I think I'll like them more if they firm up and aren't so soggy. Dates would be AMAZING in here.
This recipe is good - I used applesauce instead of pineapple and added shredded coconut. Lovely tropical flavour with a chewy exterior and soft, fluffy inside. My girls loved them with butter!
Very weird...texture wise...were exteremly tough. Maybe something I did wrong...though I did follow the recipe as it is
We loved these! I used whole wheat pastry flour and turbinado sugar instead. The second time I made it, I added dark sweet cherries, and it was even better. I had to use vanilla extract, so I added some unsweetened coconut flakes too. I'm sure I'll make these again. Since these don't rise much, just fill the batter all the way to the top for a perfect muffin. I also took the suggestion of cooking the oatmeal in pineapple juice. Thanks!

text: The Jet Pack wiki last edited by danielbruce on 03/10/15 02:40AM View full history OverviewA device, usually in the form of a backpack, which enables player characters to fly or hover. Usually included as a power-up or special equipment that a player can find or purchase while playing, jet packs tend to add new dimensions of gameplay or access to areas that otherwise wouldn't be available. Games that are based on the use of a jet pack can allow a greater sense of freedom and provide a more open world to explore and interact with than games without jet packs.Video GamesDespite the concept of a jet pack being discarded by the military in the late 1960s, jet packs are often staples in most Sci-fi or post modern military themed games. Jet packs allow the player to reach previously unreachable areas or simply gain an excellent height and maneuverability advantage over their opponents. Jet packs are usually difficult to obtain due to their usefulness and slightly overpowered combat advantages. Some video games like Perfect Dark: Zero had jet packs with mounted machine guns which gives the user a massive advantage over their slower and less powerful foot slogging foes.Due to their usually erratic movement, the most popular weapons to use with jet packs are sub-machine guns and other such fast firing weapons. Common weaknesses of the jet pack are an exposed fuel source, lack of cover, or limited fuel. A common tactic in some games is to simply shoot the fuel tank of the jet pack which renders it into nothing more then a falling explosive with a human strapped on.

Below is the poem entitled Poet Destroyer A which was written by poet
Jad. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Guru Jad
Poetess she is, whose magic is cast with great ease
Opulent in words, charming to the utmost degrees,
Engraving hisses, silhouettes, images of natures surreal
Trespassing horizons never stretched out to an ideal
Destroyer as known for, although she's here to compose
Enchating poems and songs her beautiful soul bestows
Such a fusion encourages poets to hold their inks and quills
To write 'bout nymphs in seas or orchards filled with daffodils
Rampantly defeated by her as what often happens, except
Of all practiced skilled writers she's definitely the most adept
Yielded in a words-battle having a single acknowledged end
Efficacious "She" is by far a star who can simply transcend,
Reproductions of literary stylistic forms in her magnificent way
A lady I know as Linda with a pseudonym Poet Destroyer A!

LOVE .. the Carmen MG snake jewellery !
By Cat
from Sault, Ontario
I ordered both Carmen snake pins. STUNNING in yellow gold plate.. stones are coloured & noticeable. Have been looking for Year of Snake 'anything' & finally found these 2 pieces on TSC !! I was all over the internet.I'm actually surprised that more jewellery designers haven't produced this snake !! It's always been popular, especially since Cleopatra.I'd love a slim, gold plated snake bangle, like hers.This is beautiful, slim, sparkling & classy. Anyone born in the Year of Snake, SHOULD buy this.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thousands of part-time college professors are joining labor unions, a growing trend in higher education that's boosting the ranks of organized labor and giving voice to teachers who complain about low pay and a lack of job security at some of the nation's top universities.
The move to unionize at campuses such as Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and Tufts University near Boston follows a shift in hiring practices at colleges that rely more than ever on adjunct faculty to teach classes.
Last month, adjuncts at Tufts became the latest to join the 2.1 million-member Service Employees International Union, which has been aggressively targeting college instructors. Adjuncts at Georgetown formed a union with SEIU in May, and part-time instructors at nearby American University joined the union last year.
SEIU now represents more than 18,000 members at 10 colleges and universities, compared with 14,000 five years ago. The union is preparing to file for elections at more colleges.

Champignon is a great cafe. I go there every day for lunch - their food is great and the service is good. I especially love the fact that you can get iced coffee for only $1! It sure beats Starbucks.
Posted by blayne on 03/25/2009
I frequent Madison Champignon. Most of the employees are nice, but there are a few of them that are just plain nasty, and don't even smile when they serve you. During lunch hours, the service is EXTREMELY slow and the staff tends to forget whether you ordered your food or paid for it.
Posted by jennabegood on 03/22/2009
I love their $1 iced coffee. It is amazing. It's a larger container and cheaper than any of the other local delis. It's kind of crowded and, consequently, slow, but the delicious food and desserts are worth the wait and few extra cents. It's awesome. Hit it up.

it can be slow when it's really crowded during lunch, but overall its a great place with great food.
Posted by Daniel on 03/21/2009
i like this place the iced coffee is a great deal, and its a chill atmosphere. It's convenient and the staff are generally nice. The food is good but a little overpriced, overall its a solid cafe, and one of the best in the area
Posted by john on 03/18/2009
Overpriced and slow

I love this place! I come every day for their pumpkin coffee! Staff is friendly, and coffee is delicious! No better way to start the day on my way to work!

Ideal (Dis-) Placements: Old Masters at the Pulitzer This exhibition of canonical canvases of slain martyrs, pious virgins and other grand dilemmas borrowed from two encyclopedic museums and replaced in naturally lit contemporary galleries is a reaffirmation of the human scale. The minimalism of Tadao Ando's building design is diffused by ornate, gilt-framed compositions that date from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, the two historical extremes meeting precisely at the fragile effects of daylight on the predominantly figural pieces. Contemplative and reverent, the show fulfills its premise so well that it seems capable of providing a discretely intimate experience for each and every viewer. Through October 3 at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, 3716 Washington Boulevard; 314-754-1850 or www.pulitzerarts.org. Hours: noon-5 p.m. Wed., 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat.
Meth and Hot Dogs Dystopia's version of a salon-style exhibit of portraits, this absurdist collection of small framed drawings and paintings includes every outcast variety of imaginary cartoon character. Coordinated by Detroit-based graphic artist Kill Taupe (a pseudonym), the group of artists, culled from a national call for submissions, plumb the full range of the show title's cute-turned-horrible brand of eclecticism. Lots of large eyes, drawn in black outline, droop or leer from the be-fanged faces of what would otherwise be, say, a snow-white rabbit. There's a highly detailed sense of care taken in placing these pieces on dense but deliberate display — albeit on raw fiberboard in a cement-floor basement. That's the spirit of the show: For all the rendered creatures' apparent horribleness, they're handled with true fondness, if not a sense of inclusive pride in having found, for once, themselves among the like-minded. Also worth peering at is the store's meticulous window display, descriptively titled Crap Glued to Crap. Through August 28 at Cranky Yellow, 2847 Cherokee Street; 314-773-4499 or www.crankyyellow.com. Hours: noon-6 p.m. Tue.-Sun.
migration (empire) — linear version Oil derricks, factories and other industrial sites are glimpsed through the windows of roadside hotel rooms, where lone specimens of American wildlife — a horse, an owl, a buffalo, among others — have been bewilderingly displaced. This non-narrative 2008 film by renowned multimedia artist Doug Aitken depicts a country claimed by humans but populated only by animals, who confront weird televised analogues of themselves and all the unnatural comforts of beds, lamps and running faucets with wide, glossy eyes. Aitken's previous projects have included Electric Earth, a multiscreen video installation that garnered highest honors at the 1999 Venice Biennale, and 2007's Sleepwalkers, a series of film vignettes featuring a host of contemporary celebrities that was projected on the exterior of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His expertise with Hollywood production values and work that communicates on a blockbuster scale makes migration (empire) mesmerizing not merely for its content, but also for its ability to speak to a broad audience. Through September 7 at the Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park, 1 Fine Arts Drive; 314-721-0072 or www.slam.org. Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sun. (10 a.m.-9 p.m. Fri.)
Recycled Tendencies Everything remains to be reused, it seems, in this show surveying the myriad ways in which our daily detritus can experience a modestly dignified afterlife if hung on a wall or placed on a pedestal. The castle-like quarters of the St. Louis Artists' Guild make for an almost imperial framework for scraps of old cereal boxes turned into papier-mâché figures, shadow boxes crammed with what seems like several decades' worth of winnings from 25-cent toy machines and a disembodied Cabbage Patch doll head nested amid an assortment of discarded filigree — among many other curious assemblages. This juried exhibition of work by local artists of disparate passions and compulsions implicitly advocates a radical form of creative democracy wherein anything is a worthy contender for the title "art" if will and a little ingenuity are applied. Also showing: Greenspace, an outdoor exhibition; and Modern Rubbish, selected artworks by William Lobdell that use found objects to create representational paintings. Through September 4 at the St. Louis Artists' Guild and Galleries, 2 Oak Knoll Park, Clayton; 314-727-6266 (www.stlouisartistsguild.org). Hours: noon-4 p.m. Tue.-Sun.
Relics of a Glorious Past: Imperial Russian Artifacts from the Collection of Dr. James F. Cooper This assemblage of orthodox icons and the daily stuff of royalty forms a two-part essay on lost cultural splendor and the bygone transcendent art object. Framed in gilt halos, pounded metal and semiprecious stones, the small tempera-on-wood devotional paintings exemplify an anonymous milieu in which studied replication was prized over innovation, and communion with the immaterial was the subject matter of choice. Similarly, the gold-rimmed teaspoons, military regalia and assorted decorative pieces from the show's secular portion involve such an engaged level of tactile detail that they could be considered devotionally crafted. The exhibit as a whole serves as a useful reference point for contemporary art's renewed interest in gold, which seems to signify a nostalgia for creative acts deemed sacred and authentic. Through December 20 at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art, 3663 Lindell Boulevard; 314-977-2666 or sluma.slu.edu. Hours: 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wed.-Sun.

There are approximately 173,000 veterans living in Northern Virginia and a total of about 75 local government, nonprofit, and for-profit veterans' organizations servicing them.
But according to a new report, many of the area's 36,000 post-9/11 veterans—including more than 16,000 living in Fairfax County—find the abundance of local services to be overly complex and sometimes difficult to access, calling for providers to create a better, more seamless web of services.
According to the report, "Supporting Our Region's Veterans," compiled by the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia in partnership with the United Way of the National Capital Area and Deloitte Consulting, post-9/11 veterans (Iraqi and Afghanistan war veterans) are a unique veteran demographic.
According to the report, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have been the "longest sustained U.S. military operations since the Vietnam era," sending more than 2.2 million troops into battle and resulting in more than 6,600 deaths and 48,000 injuries as of December, 2012.
Due to a variety of factors such as better medical care and the unique characteristics of post-9/11 warfare, the report states these veterans represent the highest casualty ratio of wounded-to-killed in action in U.S. history.
Because of improvements in armor and emergency medicine, more veterans now survive their battlefield injuries than ever before, and as a result require greater lifetime care.
In addition to a variety of physical wounds, the report states post-9/11 veterans also struggle with many mental health conditions which can complicate the transition to civilian life. As of January 2008, as many as 31 percent of returning post-9/11 soldiers were identified as having some form of mental health issue, including an estimated 5,000 residing in Fairfax County.
"Northern Virginia is home to one of the most densely populated veteran communities in America," said Eileen Ellsworth, president of the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia.
According to Laurie Neff, a former Marine who now is director of George Mason University's Clinic for Legal Assistance to Servicemembers, Virginia is only the nation's 12th most populous state but the 6th largest in the number of military veterans. She estimates that there are 850,000 veterans in the Commonwealth, with 10 percent of those residing in Fairfax County. "There are approximately 85,000 total veterans in Fairfax County," she said. "That is the largest population by county in the state."
Ellsworth said the recently released report was developed to gain a more sophisticated, data-driven understanding of support available to Northern Virginia's veterans, as well as to provide the Community Foundation, United Way of the National Capital Area, and other local community-based organizations and philanthropists with the insights needed to strategically target and coordinate grant dollars toward the greatest needs. "By partnering with government and nonprofit organizations and collaborating with funders in the region, we are fostering relationships amongst service providers and helping veterans navigate the rich support services available to them in Northern Virginia," she said.

Aubree Smith was named to the Xavier Invitational All-Tournament Team.
Sept. 1, 2012
Aubree Smith was named to the all-tournament team after recording 106 assists in the Musketeers three matches. Smith recorded a tournament-high-tying 46 assists in Xavier's match against Ole Miss.
Xavier fell behind by as many as six points in the first set, but a kill and service ace by Kelsey Dunaway on back-to-back plays helped the Musketeers erase the deficit and tie the set at 23-all. Marquette's Danielle Carlson and XU's Amé White exchanged kills, but the Golden Eagles closed out the set, 26-24, with a pair of assisted blocks.
After falling behind by eight-points, 22-14, in the second set, Xavier used a 7-1 run to pull within a couple of points and put some pressure on Marquette. The Golden Eagles responded with back-to-back kills to claim the set, 25-21.
The Musketeers regrouped during intermission and were on the attack from the onset of the third set. Xavier enjoyed its largest lead of the set, 12-8, after a kill by Smith. Marquette responded with five-unanswered points and forced Xavier to call a timeout. Trailing, 23-21, late in the set Xavier put up three-straight points on a solo block by Smith, a service ace from Sarah Brown and a solo block by Dunway. The Golden Eagles staved off the Musketeers set point and eventually recorded consecutive kills to end the match with a 27-25 score in the third set.
Brown finished the tournament with 40 kills and 30 digs. Alex Smith (23), White (20) and Dunaway (20) each surpassed 20 kills in the three-event.
Xavier will prepare for a mid-week match at Miami (OH) in Oxford, Ohio. The 7 p.m. match will be played Millett Hall.

(WILSON, N.C.) Rodney A. Werline, associate professor and the Marie and Leman Barnhill Endowed Chair of Religious Studies at Barton College, is one of three editors of a newly released volume of essays titled, "Seeking the Favor of God, Volume 2: The Development of Penitential Prayer in Second Temple Judaism" (Society of Biblical Literature, publisher).
The essays developed out of sessions dedicated to the academic study of penitential prayers (prayers that confess sins and ask for forgiveness) in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and Early Judaism at the Annual Meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature from 2003–2005. The first volume of collected essays appeared in 2006. This second volume of essays, like the first, contains the work of scholars from around the world.
Werline contributed two essays to the volume: "Prayer, Politics and Social Vision in Daniel 9" and "Reflections on Penitential Prayer: Definition and Form." In the second essay, Werline revisits his often-cited definition of penitential prayer and reconsiders its limitations and possibilities. The other editors of the two volumes are Mark J. Boda (lead editor of the volumes, Professor at McMaster University, Canada) and Daniel K. Falk (associate professor at the University of Oregon). The third volume in the series, which will contain an essay by Werline on penitential prayer in early Christianity, is scheduled for release next year.
Reflecting upon the production of the book, Werline said, "It was a wonderful honor to work with a group of first-rate Jewish and Christian scholars from around the world." "Their efforts and abilities make this an important volume that not only assesses current work on penitential prayer, but also pushes the field in new directions.
