Take a Tour of the Community Center for Children and Youth
|Tour mediasite
Our History
Formerly the Educational Services Center, the Community Learning Center for Children and Youth (CLC) has been providing an engaged-learning experience for students at Cleveland State for over 25 years while performing a valuable public service to the community .
An integral part of the teacher-education program, the CLC allows for both undergraduate and graduate students to engage in real-life experiences assessing and teaching children from diverse backgrounds. Through interactions with the children at the CLC, faculty provide supervised opportunities in their courses for university students pursuing licenses and/or degrees in education to explore the links between research, theory, and practice. Additionally, the CLC hosts a range of educational resources, including assessment and curriculum materials and assistive technology devices, for faculty to demonstrate in classes and for students to examine and use.
Supported by the Department of Teacher Education and housed in the Main Classroom at Cleveland State University, the CLC serves the community by providing free assessment and tutoring programs for children at the elementary and middle-school grade levels who may be having difficulties with reading, math, or learning in general. The children's positive learning experiences with the CLC have been recognized both by their families at home and their teachers at school and have resulted in a growth of programs offered and children served at the CLC.
Indeed, in the past eight years, under the supervision of the Department of Teacher Education, the CLC has grown from supporting two CSU classes serving thirty children from the community to nine CSU classes serving approximately 180 children from the community. Continuously expanding, the CLC will now offers a program for children learning English as a second or foreign language for university students pursuing a degree or endorsement in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).
Our Mission
The Community Learning Center for Children and Youth (CLC) is a year-round instructional facility for College of Education and Human Services students. Through its staff of Cleveland State University faculty and students, the Center serves children, youth, and families from the greater Cleveland community. In a supervised educational setting, the Center instructs current and future educators by providing resources and services including assessment and tutoring in literacy and math to children and youth with and without disabilities. The Center also provides opportunities for faculty and students to engage in research.

ISLA pilots new Kidzu Museum
Kidzu Children's Museum gave a group of eager and energetic children the chance to test out the museum before it opens on Valentine's Day.
Set to open on Friday, the families of Immersion for Spanish Language Acquisition had the advance opportunity to test drive everything that makes Kidzu unique.
"We get to try everything out and see what works and what doesn't work," said ISLA vice president Jenice Ramirez. "We try to do as many field trips as possible in the community. This is a great partnership with Kidzu."
Melanie Hatz Levinson, curator of design and exhibition for Kidzu, said that the new space provides room for more activities and exhibits when compared to the previous 105 E. Franklin St. site.
"We are so excited," Levinson said. "We have a space that is over five times as large as our space was in University Square."
While this site is larger than the last, it is smaller than the next. Levinson said that this site is temporary until the museum moves to a more permanent location atop Wallace Plaza.
Labeled a middle step, the new site will allow for incremental growth of offerings to the public and staff.
"This is our launch pad," Levinson said. "This is our creative education laboratory where we get to figure out what will be in the permanent space."
The families of ISLA were a part of the learning process for the launch pad.
A nonprofit organization based in Chapel Hill that works to provide a nurturing and safe environment for native Spanish speaking children, ISLA also aims to promote literacy in Spanish so children can transfer foundational literacy skills to improve their readiness for school.
Housed in St. Thomas More Catholic School, ISLA provides all of its services, including teaching English to parents, for free.
With signs in Kidzu posted in both English and Spanish, the museum adhered to the programs all-Spanish curriculum.
"I think it's amazing," said Ramirez. "I think being able to just free play is important with children, especially for children in pre-K through second grade.
"This is also allowing the children to play and be creative on their own," she said. "They're choosing what they want to do."
The exhibits are for the full engagement of younger children and more creative engagement for older children while reinforcing STEAM concepts. Many of the decorations and interactive materials like building blocks and a chandelier made of plastic spoons were created by local people and Kidzu staffers.
Not so local is Maria Jesus Poch who is a fellow with Kidzu. The Chilean native read a "Clifford: The Red Dog" book to the families in Spanish in the cozy reading room beneath a handmade butterfly.
Kidzu reinforces many skills and introduces some like sustainability and creativity as a whole not just in the arts.
"We get to really launch our creativity as we serve, reflect and celebrate our community and we think this space allows us to do this," Levinson said.

Why should I choose dial-up?
Thursday, June 11th, 2009
Choosing dial-up Internet service
Dial-up Internet service is the most affordable choice of any type of Internet service. This option may be ideal for families on a budget, seniors and others who do not use the Internet very often.
Dial-up is cheaper than other types of Internet access but is not as functional. The speed is considerably slower than cable, DSL or satellite Internet service. The major lag is in how long dial up takes to connect to the Internet. Depending on your connection, it could take anywhere from 20 seconds to several minutes.
Also, because dial-up uses a telephone line, you may need to have a separate line for your Internet service. In the past, if you used your normal phone line and were on the Internet, you would be disconnected if a telephone call came in.
In recent years, many dial-up Internet service providers have offered features that allow you to stay on the Internet and be alerted when someone is trying to call you.
Another problem with dial-up is that the connection can be dropped while you are browsing the Internet. This can become very frustrating if you are doing research or are in the middle of a project.

50,000 Gallon Water Tank
6-16861 | Price: $149.99
An essential structure on any rail line in the steam era, railroad water tanks provided thirsty engines a place to stop and refill tenders with water. These tanks were dispersed at regular intervals all along rail line routes so that locomotives were never more than a handful of miles away from a fresh supply of precious water. Recognizable by a massive circular tub shape on top and a substructure of posts and Frostbox below, water tanks are also easily identified by a counterweighted drop-down spout which funneled water into locomotive tenders.
The new scale water tower by Lionel accurately depicts a 50,000 gallon version of this essential railside structure. Realistically detailed and scale in size, it is the perfect accessory to enhance any layout running scale-size steam locomotives. This new water tank features a variety of separately applied details including a metal spout, ladders, and pulley chains. Additionally, the discharge water spout can be lowered manually as your train parks for a water stop. Use the pull-down rope to lower the spout, and release the rope to allow the spout to raise back up automatically on the operating pulley system.
- 1:48th scale
- Die-cast metal discharge spout
- Metal pulley chains
- Metal ladders, realistic tank hoop support rings, and other separately applied details
- Operating pulley system to lower and raise spout manually
- Simulated concrete piers
- Separately applied realistic tank hoop support rings
- Opening door on vertical frostbox

In their research, the investigators collected 70 human meningioma tissue samples and found that YAP1 expression was present in the nuclei of all of the samples, regardless of tumor "grade," meaning it appears to be a molecular mechanism involved in the earliest stages of meningioma development. In the lab, Baia knocked down the amount of YAP1 in cell nuclei and found that tumor proliferation went down. When there was more YAP1, the cells grew and also migrated more.
Baia and his team also injected human cell lines in which YAP1 was overexpressed into the brains of the mice. "With excess YAP, all of the mice got tumors," Baia says.
The next step, Baia says, is to determine the exact genes activated by the arrival of YAP1 in the cell nuclei. Then, the hope is, new treatments can be developed to target those genes, he adds.

I believe this was my first ever perfume I got in middle school. I remember finding this in Walmart and begging my mom to buy it for me... I couldn't resist the adorable packaging. The smell was nice mostly, but a little artificial and chemical-ish smelling. It has a very sweet coconut and vanilla scent to it. It's definitely not strong or overwhelming, making it perfect for spring and summer. The scent didn't last very long on me. I think this perfume has been discontinued though? I can't find it anywhere. :( I would definitely repurchase if I could find it.

My mum usually gets me a Harajuku for christmas. I never actually wear it, just love the bottles! This is my first time actually spraying the perfumes so I thought I'd review them! I think Music kinda crisp and fresh like the ocean, its different, but I definitely buy for the design rather than the scent. Also fades fast but I kinda expected that from the price.
Harajuku G is more of a creamy vanilla scent, works well with my skin, I actually really like it & can't stop smelling my wrist! At first when I sprayed it was like water, no smell, I was really confused. But than it transformed into a lovely not-too-sweet scent, it's almost like I'm wearing a subtle mix of vanilla & creme brûlée. Unexpected but lovely <3

Wow - what a disappointment!
I thought I would love this. It features mandarin, fresh coconut, and apple peel in the top, jasmine sambac, freesia and magnolia in the heart, and coconut cream, white sandalwood and cottonwoods.
I love coconut, and tropical/sweet, but the initial smell of this is awful...like slightly coconut and PLASTIC. It's a weird smell, and I don't like it-it smells very synthetic and industrial. I don't know if it usually smells this way or got too warm or old and picked up a plastic smell from the bottle, but it's unpleasant. After a while it smells a little better, but it never really smells great.
I was expecting a stronger, purer smell of coconut. I really don't like this much at all. After about 30 min to an hour it smells faintly just ok. It really doesn't smell much like "tropical".

The bottle is so cute it hurts. I would repurchase without question!

I have three of the mini bottles, the original, the Snow Bunnies version, and the Jingle G version. I love this scent! To me, it smells like a light citrus with notes of vanilla. The bottles are so cute too! I own a couple of the other scents, but G is my absolute favorite. I find it lasts a good while. It's a nice scent for everyday, though the bottles, even the large sized ones, are rather small.

This is probably my favourite scent. It tends to be a strong scent on me but some how light and airy at the same time. It makes me think of pina colada on the beach. It has a great coconut and pineapple smell without smelling like sunscreen like most other perfumes/sprays with those same types of scents. I bought this at my local drug store when it first came out for about $50. The packaging is the cutest I had ever seen and what intially drew me to it. However I hated how little I got for the price. The bottle was all the doll cap and only came in 30ml as the largest size. Since then I have bought another bottle on Ebay for only $30 and I got a tester of 100 ml and couldn't be happier! :)

I generally hate "sweet" scents but am addicted to this one. It's definitely not for everyone. My former roommate threw a fit everytime I used "G".
One thing that annoys me is that the scent seems to be slightly different with every bottle. Also, I didn't realize that "Super G" is a different scent than "G". Hard to keep up with the constant changes.
But overall, I'm obsessed and I'll keep buying. It's almost my signature scent at this moment.

A great summertime scent. Heavy on coconut. I love it. Not something I would wear in the dead of winter. It's definitely a "let's celebrate all things tropical" kind of scent. If you like beach-themed fragrances like BB "Beach", this would be a nice addition to your summer fragrance wardrobe. The bottle is super cute, too.

More like a light four lippies.
I think the reason why everyone loves "G" so much is because it's a pretty standard EDT. Theres not too much craziness going on. Though the coconut is very dominate in this scent, it's not overwhelming, but it almost pushes it. "G" has accomplished making the one unmistakable and very noticeable coconut note (that sticks with you from beginning to end) very milky and not disgustingly sweet.
One of my favorite summery/tropical perfumes are Ralph Rocks and though everyone senses coconut in it, in the past I couldn't sense it, and after trying "G" I see where people are getting the coconut from.
I am not in love, but I actually really like "G". I wish I owned a bottle when I lived in Hawaii. It makes me reminisce me and my friends laying back on our chairs, listening to music, wearing leas and watching the ocean water.
Yes, it's simple. Yes, it smells like coconut lotion. It's very milky and savory, I imagine this being someones signature scent. A scent someone close to the holder would miss if the holder were gone.

Called the company and they said I need to call a service person. Already only after a year!! of performance!! I don't recommend buying this make or any other modern make,they are all defected for one reason or another. Buy the older models,pay cheaper and better performance, and you don't have to buy a new one for at least 10 years.. Unless someone out there comes up with a brand name that people can count on and trust. Until then I will keep my other white old appliances until they stop working!! my Inglis washer is at least 30 years old,found in my home when I moved in, my fridage and stove in the basement are over 20years old and work great and cleaning is easy. My dryer 10 years old. I am even sorry I got rid of a green G.E. fridge and stove which worked so good and shine after cleaning them. Buyers be aware of these new stainless still appliances. They look pretty but are ugly inside.I know this review will not be put in public but its the truth. Oh and I forgot the glass shelf in my fridge broke into hundreds of pieces in my hands when cleaning it...

Dr. Victor Georgescu — the physician who operated out of the last pain clinic in Scioto County — was found dead over the weekend, authorities said on Monday.
The Liberty, Ohio Police Department received a call from Super 8 Motel on Saturday. The caller advised police a subject in Room No. 122 was lying on the floor and was unresponsive. Liberty Fire as well as two patrolmen responded the scene, and it was determined the male subject had died. The Trumbull County Coroners office was notified by officers, and responded to the scene.
"Right now we are treating this as a drug related death," Trumbull County Coroner, Dr. Humphrey Germaniuk, said. "Drug tests, or toxicology usually takes about eight weeks turn around time. So we'll know more when the drug testing comes back in about eight weeks."
According to the police report, an empty bottle of 90 proof vodka, and a cup used to mix prescription medication, were found in the room. Germaniuk was asked if reports that Georgescu committed suicide, were substantiated by his initial autopsy.
"Usually people who commit suicide don't want to botch it, and if I find astronomical levels in you, that would point more toward suicide," Germaniuk said. "Manner of death is basically all available knowledge. So all I can say until I get the drug testing back is that we are dealing with a drug-related death, and the final determination regarding accident or suicide is going to be a function of the drugs we get back, the level we get back and the police investigation."
Georgescu was arrested at his home in Centerville, Ohio, on Dec. 20, 2011, at the same time authorities were raiding the Greater Medical Advance at 8744 Ohio River Road, in Wheelersburg. He had been scheduled to go on trial on Sept. 17. He had been free on $150,000 bond and had surrendered his passport.
Barbara Howard, whose daughter Leslie Dawn Cooper died at the age of 34 on Oct. 3, 2009, as a result of a drug overdose, says it was Georgescu who wrote her daughter's prescriptions, and she had just heard about Georgescu's death when she talked with the Portsmouth Daily Times Monday morning.
"He is the one that prescribed my daughter all the medication she overdosed on," Howard said. "He was at the Greater Medical Advance, and he sent her to the pharmacy in Columbus. It hasn't been five minutes since I heard. It hasn't sunk in yet, but in a way it does bring some closure for me. He knew exactly what he did was wrong. And to be facing what he was facing - yes, I think it gives me quite a bit of closure, because I don't think he's going to be anywhere near my daughter up in heaven."
Cooper is the inspiration for the Ohio Department of Health's Community-based Naloxone Overdose Reversal Project. Named "DAWN," for Cooper — it also stands for Deaths Avoided with Naloxone. Nalaxone is a synthetic drug, similar to morphine, that blocks opiate receptors in the nervous system.
The owner of the pain clinic, Marshall Adkins, is also awaiting trial in that case.

A Johnson City woman's small stature likely saved her life when she was hit head-on by a 75-car Norfolk Southern train early Tuesday morning.
"They said the only thing that saved her is she's so small and she went up under it," John Cable said about his 22-year-old daughter, Stormi Cable.
According to a Johnson City Police report, the woman was walking on the tracks toward the train when it hit her near the Elm Street grade crossing directly under the Interstate 26 westbound overpass.
John Cable said he believes his daughter, the mother of four children, was walking to her uncle's home near the water heater plant when she was hit.
Cable is frustrated because he feels he's been given several differing versions of what happened.
"(The train's engineer) drug her the whole length of the (city) garage," Cable said.
But the JCPD report filed by patrolman Brad Flynn contradicts that, stating that Stormi was not dragged.
Nonetheless, she has severe injuries that include both arms and legs broken, a head injury and she may lose a foot, her father said.
The woman also has 12 broken vertebrae, he said.
Cable said he is also frustrated because he's heard nothing from investigators in the case.
"Nobody has come to talk to me about nothing. I called the investigator and he didn't call me back and I called the chief and he didn't call me back," Cable said.
According to Flynn's report, the 75 train cars were being pulled by four locomotives.
The train conductor and engineer told Flynn they saw a woman on the tracks walking toward the train and blew the air-horn approximately three-tenths of a mile before the train hit her.
"The victim made no attempt to get out of the right-of-way of the train," Flynn wrote.
He stated in the report the train was traveling 20 to 30 mph at the point of impact.
"The victim was found underneath a hopper car," which was the third car behind the last locomotive.
"The victim was still breathing upon emergency personnel arrival (and) was expedited to the JCM for treatment," Flynn wrote.
JCPD Investigator Joe Harrah was continuing an investigation, as was Norfolk Southern.
"Norfolk Southern will work with local law enforcement to provide any information that they need in their investigation of the incident," said Susan Terpay, company spokeswoman, in a prepared statement. She also said Norfolk Southern works with Tennessee Operation Lifesaver to help educate the public about railroad safety.

|What's The Ground Like?
The town
of Carrickfergus is a well known tourist
destination,largely thanks to its Norman castle and
modern harbour. The football stadium lies one mile
to the east of the town centre,and sits
uncomfortably between the Belfast to Larne railway
line, a number of training pitches and a hospital
complex. Because of its surroundings,access to the
ground is limited to one side,the Taylors Avenue End
where a tall breezeblock wall is punctuated by
colourfull artistic silhouettes on a painted
background, alongside a bold modern text rendition
"share a passion, share a dream, share a community,
share a future" flanking the club crest in the
colours of amber and black.The main entrance /exit
gates and turnstiles can also be found on this side.
Entering through the turnstiles spectators arrive
behind the goal on a flat expanse of concrete.
Looking to the left a flat expanse of concrete leads
to a fenced off area-this is the site of the former
Social Club, which was destroyed in a fire at the
end of 2010.
Please note that
currently Carrick Rangers are playing their home
games at Seaview
FC, whilst a new 3G pitich is being laid
at Taylors Avenue.
|Future Developments
|The immediate concern for the club,once the new artificial playing surface is installed will be to install temporary changing room facilities on the former social club side. A new social club and possible corner floodlights would appear to be important additions if the club wishes to establish itself as a Premier League club. It was suggested a few years ago that the hospital complex opposite the Taylors Avenue end would be expanded with the football ground site being purchased for redevelopment, however in this current economic climate that seems unlikely to happen.
|What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
Away fans are allocated the Carrickfergus End, which is a low covered terrace running from corner post to corner post. There is currently no crush barriers on the steps,however the view from the top of the steps at the rear of the stand is sufficient to see over the tops of the fencing behind the goal and fans huddled at the rear of the stand should be able to take shelter from wind and rain and get a good atmosphere going.
|Where To Drink?
|There is a Social Club at the ground, which is a good thing as there are no pubs or bars in the immediate vicinity of the ground. So otherwise it is probably best to stick to Carrickfergus town centre before arriving at the ground.
|How To Get There By Car & Where To Park
From the East:
From the West:
|By Train or Bus
Carrickfergus is situated halfway along the railway line between Belfast Central and Larne Harbour.Services are every half hour on a Saturday afternoon, and every hour on a weekday evening.
Carrickfergus Joymount Bus stop is just off the High Street and can be reached by Ulsterbus 563 from Belfast Bridge Street. There is no direct link to Carrickfergus from Antrim or Ballymena-all services run into Belfast Europa Bus Station.

Britt Hayes
Britt Hayes is a writer, movie lover, and sensible sweater enthusiast living in Austin, Texas. She watches too much TV and never eats her vegetables. Her mom is worried about her.
Coming on the heels of the unfortunate news that author Tom Clancy passed away last night, the first poster for 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' -- inspired by the character created by Clancy -- has been revealed. The poster for the film, which stars Chris Pine in the Ryan role, prominently features Clancy's name -- seems like a pretty fitting tribute to the late author.
Vin Diesel has been taking a page straight from his 'Fast Six' co-star Dwayne Johnson's playbook -- Johnson has been posting pics from the set of Brett Ratner's 'Hercules' all summer, and lately, Diesel has been giving us a peek at the crew on the set of 'Fast and Furious 7,' getting us ever-more excited for the upcoming seventh installment of the franchise. And this time, the gang's (mostly) all here!
Known for his work in the horror genre, James Wan has stepped behind the camera for something a little more action-packed with 'Fast and Furious 7.' We've gotten a peek at some of the interesting new cars being used in the film, but now star Vin Diesel is giving us a sneak preview of his own with these new photos of his character Dom (alongside co-star Paul Walker) on the set of the sequel.
Ever since the title 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron' was revealed by Marvel and Joss Whedon at Comic-Con 2013 last month, there's been a lot of talk of how this epic villain will be handled for his big-screen translation. Now it seems we've gotten some (vague) answers from Whedon himself, who opened up about the difference between comic book Ultron and movie Ultron.
Ever since J.J. Abrams signed on to direct 'Star Wars: Episode 7,' it's been unclear whether he'd be available to return to the directing chair for 'Star Trek 3.' With Paramount angling for a 2016 release, and Disney pushing to get 'Episode 7' in theaters in 2015, there's no way Abrams could do both. But it looks like Paramount is looking at a replacement, and Jon M. Chu is supposedly at the top of their list.
If you weren't able to attend Comic-Con 2013 this weekend (or if you were there and didn't make it to Hall H on Saturday), you can now view the entire Marvel panel online and catch everything you missed, including 'Thor: The Dark World,' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' and the announcement of 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron.'
Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were on hand to debut the first official trailer for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' at their Comic-Con 2013 panel, and this peek at Katniss and Peeta as they continue their dangerous adventure sure is making us hungry for the film's release this fall.
And here we were just counting our blessings that we get a new 'Godzilla' movie, featuring the legendary giant, stomping lizard monster. But as we learned at the 'Godzilla' Comic-Con panel today, we're getting multiple monsters for the price of one -- and one monster in particular will look very familiar to fans of the classic films.
Though a release date hasn't yet been announced, Jon M. Chu is already talking up 'G.I. Joe 3' at Comic-Con 2013. And if there's one place you want to start promoting your geek-friendly property, Comic-Con is where you want to be. Chu dropped a couple of hints about characters we might see return and expanding the scope of the film to be even bigger and crazier than before.
With 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' in theaters, this group of cosplaying friends are having the time of their lives dressing up as their favorite Joes.

Better late than never! Model Poonam Pandey, who earned fame with her single claim of going naked, seem to care for what she promised and never did.
The gal who claims to be a Kingfisher calendar girl has posted two videos, showing her dropping her clothes for an international magazine photoshoot, on her Twitter and Facebook pages respectively. The videos are touted to be hot and raunchy as Poonam Pandey is shown removing her top and showing her slender size-zero bod in a colourful bikini among trees.
The videos which are now also available on youtube are already a hit on the internet. Alas! If you are thinking you will be get to see Poonam Pandey in her naked glory. Sorry folks! The videos are bummer!
One response to the video says, "I watched, diligently, the whole 5 minutes and 35 seconds of poor quality footage, and at no time does she engage in the act of undressing."

A Massachusetts man said he suffered second-degree burns from a grill after applying sunscreen aerosol spray on parts of his body.
Brett Sigworth said he applied Banana Boat sunscreen to his body before walking over to his grill, not knowing it would still be flammable after it was on his skin.
"I went into complete panic mode and screamed," Sigworth said. "I've never experienced pain like that in my life."
The result was second-degree burns to his chest, ear and back, the only areas where he applied the sunscreen. Ten days after the incident, Sigworth is still showing the effects of the incident…
"I think if people were told this is flammable for two minutes on your skin, people wouldn't use it," Sigworth said.
He doesn't plan to sue, but it sharing his story and photos with others to make sure no one else ends up in the hospital after applying sunscreen.
A.B. He doesn't plan to sue? How do you walk away from your golden ticket like this? People sue over hot cups of coffee and their kids not making the varsity baseball team. This guy catches fire after using sun tan lotion, gets second degree burns and just wants people to learn? Learn what? How to slap God in the face for delivering the opportunity to live a worry free & financially flush life?
Sad day to be a fellow Masshole indeed.

It's a trick of the angle of course, but check out how close it looks to this photo we found on Flickr from October 1972 when the real Twin Towers were still under construction.

Dow slides below 15,000 as market turns turbulent
NEW YORK -- Video-game shops, restaurants and retailers led the stock market lower Wednesday.
Without any good news to drive the market up, investors grappled with the question hanging over financial markets: When will the Federal Reserve and other central banks pull back their economic stimulus programs?
Markets have turned turbulent in recent weeks as traders start preparing for a time when the Fed and central banks in Europe and Japan aren't pumping as much money into the financial system.
"There's nothing concrete out there to turn us around today," Russell Croft, co-portfolio manager at the Croft Value Fund in Baltimore. "So naturally enough, people are back to thinking about the Fed."
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 126.79 points, or 0.8 percent, to close at 14,995.23.
The Dow had its first three-day stretch of losses this year and is down 1.7 percent for the week.
A rout in global markets helped pull the Dow down 116 points Tuesday. The selling started after the Bank of Japan decided not to make any new attempt to spur growth in the world's third-largest economy.
In other trading Wednesday, the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 13.61 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,612.52. All 10 industry groups in the index dropped, led by consumer-discretionary and utility companies.

You know Ryan Gosling from "The Notebook." I remember Ryan Gosling from the good ol' days of Breaker High. A television show about a group of high school students on a cruise]around the world. They learn and travel and make awkward love connections. Think the love boat but rated "G". Ah yes, a time when Ryan Gosling was a dorky teenager who had trouble with the ladies. Now look at him, he's almost too studly for his own good. Who's bad? Ryan's bad.
So I post these old pictures in hopes he will one day return to his dorky glory.
Those of you wishing to drool yourself silly over the new (and improved) Ryan Gosling click yourself over to this site.

Heard from some people who saw Young around the doctor's office. Maybe he broke a bone in his hand from the punch. Anyone else know about this?
Sorry, but the Wings will season these guys until they are ordinary 23-24 year olds with limited NHL experience and then relegate them to 3/4th line status. All the while, the team will use older vets whose hunger is lacking and body is without physical force. Watch these playoffs and what do you see? Teams that usually play on time and for nearly the whole game. Teams that contest the puck everywhere on the ice, behind the net, in front of the net, along the boards, teams that block shots, that go to the net and that play solid defense. These remaining teams rarely surrender a lead and the team scoring first mostly wins the game. None of these teams look or feel like the Red Wings on the ice. there is no puck possession, dipsy doodling at center ice, its just hard physical play everywhere hoping for a deflection or screen shot. and the defensive gaffs common to the Wings play are mostly absent by good teams.
14 to 18 is about right. Slow on the bases, below average pitching staff and fielding skills, average batting and slugging. Average is used to say there are 30 teams and you are at 15. Holes on this team are everywhere: in the batting order, at DH, at second base, third base, left field, the 4-5 starters and the bullpen both long and late relievers. My pre-season prediction was for 87-93 wins and right now I will stay with that. But 78-84 would not be a surprise to me. Historicaly the Tiger's have never strung together seasons of above average expectations. They have a good year, then relapse back into the pack.
Never in my life have I ever heard of a Bubby killing her own grandchild. In fact, Judaism would probably say that considering the ages involved, the Bubby should have had the wisdom to diffuse the situation or at least sacrifice her own life if only 1 person was to live. At the point in time the Bubby felt she needed to own a handgun to protect herself, the grandson should have been removed from the home as he represented to her a deadly threat to her survival. Firing multiple shots indicates a lot of anger or poor targeting as he was able to call 911 for help. Well Bubby, for your sake I hope you can make the argument stick that you had to sand your ground and kill your own grandchild rather than leave the home and call for police assistance. Will God have mercy on your soul for this act?
It is time for Tiger hitters to press! They need to be nervous, not sleeping well and feeling sick to their stomachs. Except for Dirks, nobody is meeting or exceeding expectations at the plate. A down year means maybe 81 wins. The Tiger's history is to win for 1 year and never really repeat the following year. This is that following year.
Just install video replay and let a fan's panel make the close calls from a central broadcast location. Sort of like an NFL jury. Take the heat off of the refs.
Inge didn't earn his negotiated salary in Detroit. Instead of saying the right things and maybe forgoing some money for charity, he always seemed to put his foot in his mouth. Football players are never overpaid more than 1 season because they are cut or forced to renegotiate. Hockey players can be overpaid and take the heat. The same goes for Inge. He didn't earn his keep and was gettin money for nothing. people around here don't like that. Santiago makes about 1 million, sort of what he is worth. Six and a half million for Inge was a joke and makes fans feel ill to their stomach paying to watch a mistake on the field. That is why the bad feelings and why he had to go. He was toxic.
Numbers don't lie. The Tigers are last in MLB in stolen bases. They are towards the bottom in doubles. These categories represent speed on the bases and manufacturing runs. If you add both together, you get a speed index. The tiger's speed index is 44, the top teams are in the 90's. That's 50 more bases in just the first 28 games. Folks, that almost 250 bases in just one year. Kind of puts the damper on watching any Tiger hit a home run. And, they are in the bottom half of MLB doing that. When looking more at the hitting, 35% of the at bats so far are tied to an average of 184. The remaining 65% of the AB's are hitting 260. The 184 is 10 outs per 9 inning game, leaving the 260 hitters just a little more than 5 innings to get some runs. Its not happening. Take into account poorer than expected performances from Valverde, Scherzer and Porcello and the Tigers are a floundering, boring 500 team looking to go no where because of the fielding and base running flaws with poor team hitting. Numbers never lie.
Rabbi Josh Bennett simply should keep his opinion to himself on this matter. He was not in New York and not a witness. By his own admission, he does not know what took place or what Young said in his drunken state. What are facts is that Young grew up in Alabama, hardly a state with a substantial Jewish population that is welcomed everywhere. Matter of factley, Young has probably heard over many years ignorant talk about Jews and anti-semitism while never actually having any real relationships on any level with Jews. If that is the case, he is guilty of anti-semitism by osmosis, simply absorbing it from his environment. When put in his drunken state in New York and confronting a man wearing a yarmulke, Young reacted like the bigot he had become and verbally degraded the man in public for his religious beliefs. In New York, this is a hate crime. If and when there is a trial, the transcripts of the witnesses and court record will be public. It is then that Young will be confronted with his truth: he is an anti-semitic bigot and not a righteous man. At that point, Rabbi Bennett should stop defending the actions of Delmon Young and instead try to educate him and open his eyes to accepting people of Jewish faith rather than degrading them and wishing them away to the corn fields like Hitler!
Everybody wants to rub shoulders with popular athletes and Stafford seems to be a great guy whenever he is in public. So kudos for Matt!
The Tiger's possess the only 30 pitch ninth inning closer in baseball. Almost every time Valverde takes the mound high adventure happens. The guy has lost the concept of throwing strikes when he enters a game.
As for Rayburn, he has just got to go. Simply can't hit. Period. Exit Santiago also. There must be some minor leaguer somewhere that can at least field better than those two. Find someone in the Carribean who wants to be Imported to Detroit.
Fact of the matter is this was not a luxury pick. it was a necessity pick. The Lions playbook is filled with passing plays. They require that a competent receiving core be available to run the routes and catch the ball. Screwing up the passing game and having to rely on the run would put the Lions in a world of hurt. it would negate Stafford's ability to almost score at will. It would force the Lions to somehow run the ball behind a woeful offensive line, with potentially injured running backs and without the threat of the passing attack. No, passing is the lifeblood of the Lions team. Not defense, not running the ball. The rules of the NFL favor passing. It is the best way to turn a game around and create victory in almost any situation. And, if I remember correctly, even the great defense of the 49's couldn't win a game when they fumbled away the ball on 2 special teams plays. Win through the air ala Brady, Manning, etc.
Why not? When healthy they were no help to the Red Wings to win the Stanley Cup.
Confuse, distort, create a fantasy, revise history, all goals of the Republican strategy to gain back power. Hopefully enough people will be smart enough to realize that the Republican social goals of gutting education and the middle class will just lead to the decline of this country. A future based on burning expensive fossil fuels in my car, paying high electrical bills and accumulating debt for health care and college is not what America is about while the playing field is tilted in favor of the wealthy.
Apparently the term "blind pig" to denote an after hours unlicensed establishment for drinking, smoking, prostitution and drugs is as unique to Detroit as is the classic "coney island" hot dog. Just one more thing that makes Detroit a special place, one coveted by persons living in those crappy places like new York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, etc. No wonder the population of Detroit keeps swelling (with corpses I mean).
Clete is a minor leaguer and he should own it.
Quincey has no upside and lacks all of the intangibles. He is the very definition of being in the wrong place at the wrong time on the ice. The old saying the puck just seem to follow him doesn't apply to Quincey. He turns the wrong way, the puck hops over his stick, he fans on a golden opportunity, cross ice passes get between his legs, the puck deflects into the net off his leg or skate, he pinches in at the wrong time of a game and without forwards covering up for the pinch. His shots hit the post or never get deflected in. I feel sorry for this guy and definitely don't want to see him in a Red Wing uniform next year.
Small corners on any team simply don't stand a chance against much larger receivers and the rules that prevent any contact. There will be plenty of passes completed against the first round CB's from this draft. Even with the great CB's on the Jets, they were 8-8. CB's will be cut from other teams to save salary space and the Lions will have an opportunity to sign and upgrade this position. The Lion's need to keep building their team with athletic, hungry football players and top niche coaching. I still am not sold on Jim Schwartz's ability to duel effectively against a Belicheck or Tom Coughlin. Remember, the Red Wing's success really did not start until they Broomed out Bryan Murray in favor of Scotty Bowman. Maybe a Bill Cowher type will be needed to get them over the hump in the future.
Sparty lacked the guts to add them to the football schedule.
Mo one can win 24 games without any run support at the plate and a good bullpen for the late innings. KC is a crappy team and the Tiger's still couldn't win this game with their top pitcher. They are very weak right now at the plate. The bullpen is abysmal. The flaws of this team are extensive. My pre-season prediction was 87-93 wins and I still think that is doable, but the season will be a struggle until some guys learn to hit and some pitching is obtained.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
K-TAB (potassium chloride extended-release tablets) is a solid oral dosage form of potassium chloride containing 10 mEq and 20 mEq of potassium chloride, USP, equivalent to 750 mg and 1500 mg of potassium in a film-coated (not enteric-coated), wax matrix tablet. These formulations are intended to slow the release of potassium so that the likelihood of a high localized concentration of potassium chloride within the gastrointestinal tract is reduced. The expended inert, porous, wax/polymer matrix is not absorbed and may be excreted intact in the stool.
K-TAB tablets are an electrolyte replenisher. The chemical name is potassium chloride, and the structural formula is KCl. Potassium chloride, USP, occurs as a white, granular powder or as colorless crystals. It is odorless and has a saline taste. Its solutions are neutral to litmus. It is freely soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol.
The use of potassium salts in patients receiving diuretics for uncomplicated essential hypertension is often unnecessary when such patients have a normal dietary pattern, and when low doses of the diuretic are used. Serum potassium should be checked periodically, however, and, if hypokalemia occurs, dietary supplementation with potassium-containing foods may be adequate to control milder cases. In more severe cases and if dose adjustment of the diuretic is ineffective or unwarranted supplementation with potassium salts may be indicated.

One single dose of histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution gives equally good myocardial protection in elective mitral valve surgery as repetitive cold blood cardioplegia: a prospective randomized study. [2011.04]OBJECTIVES: Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK-Custodiol) cardioplegic solution is administered as one single dose for more than 2 hours of ischemia. No prospective randomized clinical study has compared the effects of HTK and cold blood cardioplegia on myocardial damage in elective mitral valve surgery. Thus, the main aim of the present study was to examine whether one single dose of cold antegrade HTK gives as good myocardial protection as repetitive antegrade cold blood cardioplegia in mitral valve surgery... CONCLUSIONS: One single dose of antegrade cold HTK cardioplegic solution in elective mitral valve surgery protects the myocardium equally well as repetitive antegrade cold blood cardioplegia.

Comparison of Two Potassium Targets Within the Normal Range in Intensive Care Patients [Recruiting]
Rationale: It is well known that distinctly abnormal blood potassium values can cause
serious complications such as cardiac arrhythmias. Although potassium regulation is
generally considered important, hardly any research has been done about potassium regulation
in intensive care patients. The investigators hypothesize that different potassium
target-values, within the as normal accepted range, may have different effects in critically
ill patients.
Study design: A prospective trial comparing two different potassium target-values. Potassium
will be tightly regulated with the already fully operational GRIP-II computer program.
Study population: 1200 adult patients admitted at the thoracic intensive care unit of the
University Medical Center Groningen.
Intervention: Comparison between two variations of standard therapy: potassium target-value
of 4. 0 mmol/L versus 4. 5 mmol/L.
Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint is the incidence of atrial
fibrillation or atrial flutter from ICU-admission to hospital discharge. Secondary endpoints
are serum levels of potassium and the other main electrolytes, renal function and renal
potassium excretion, the relation with insulin and glucose, the cumulative fluid balance,
(ICU) length of stay and mortality.
Potassium Intake in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease [Recruiting]
Chronic kidney disease is associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, and strokes.
Potassium lowers blood pressure and may help prevent heart disease and strokes in the
general population, but has not been well-studied in people with kidney disease. This study
will look at the benefits and safety of two levels of potassium intake in patients with
kidney disease. We expect that a higher level of potassium intake safely lowers blood
pressure compared to a lower level of potassium intake. We hope that this and other research
projects will help us to learn more so that guidelines can be created for potassium intake
in patients with chronic kidney disease
The Circadian Rhythm of Potassium and Cystatin C [Recruiting]
The potassium value is important to prevent cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. In
patients with renal failure, the potassium value is not stable and tends to raise. Until now
there are no data available if the potassium value has a circadian rhythm and if there are
individual changes from day to day.
Effects of Potassium Citrate in Urine of Children With Elevated Calcium in Urine and Kidney Stones [Completed]
High amounts of calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria) can cause development of kidney stones
in children. Treatment for these children includes plenty of fluids, a low-salt diet and
medications such as potassium citrate. A major advantage of potassium citrate, as compared to
hydrochlorothiazide, is its lack of side effects. One problem the researchers and others
have observed is that some children continue to form kidney stones despite correction of
hypercalciuria with potassium citrate. One possible explanation is that in some individuals
potassium citrate therapy results in an excessive elevation of urine pH, a situation that may
predispose to calcium phosphate stone formation. In this study, the researchers will study
the effects of potassium citrate on urine chemistries and acid-base balance in three groups
of children aged 5-17 years:
- children who are hypercalciuric stone formers;
- healthy children without a history of hypercalciuria or kidney stones.
Particular attention will be paid to try to identify those who develop a very high urine pH
(>8) and the factors leading to this metabolic reaction.
The researchers will try to learn whether it is the child's characteristics, the disease
manifestations, the dose of the drug, or a combination of the above which may be the cause of
the development of very alkaline urine. Based on the results, the researchers hope to be able
to better "tailor" the individual treatment for each child with kidney stones.
Potassium-Magnesium Citrate as a Blood Pressure Lowering Agent in Hypertensive Patients [Recruiting]
The goal of this study is to compare the effects of Potassium Magnesium Citrate to Potassium
Chloride on blood pressure among patients with pre-hypertension or mild hypertension. We
will also test whether Potassium Magnesium Citrate increases excretion of large amounts of
sodium in the urine.

Computational intelligence: The key to making smart grids really smart
By Shawkat Ali
Around the world, in developed as well as developing countries, utilities are embracing smart grid technologies to improve the grid's efficiency and incorporate renewable energy resources into the grid. The strategy is both practical and laudable because it will create the means to meet society's future electricity demands in a way that also minimizes carbon emissions and reduces electricity's environmental impacts. The recognition of smart grid's pivotal roles, along with many regional and national policies acknowledging its importance and often mandating its adoption, are inspiring others to move into the new smart grid era. The smart grid is inevitable now. We should all join in to help it advance and succeed.
|Shawkat Ali
Computational intelligence (CI) is one of the techniques utilities will use to make sure their smart grids are as intelligent as possible and delivering tangible, worthwhile benefits to utilities, users and the environment. A comparatively new era in computing, CI is already at the heart of many types of "smart" technologies and services in a variety of industries. In particular, CI enables us to interpret big data and create knowledge from it to make decisions in real-time for critical business functions. The purpose of this article is to discuss some of the exciting ways in which CI is being applied in smart grids.
Computational intelligence for smart grid optimization and planning
CI can be used throughout a utility to optimize operations and planning. Broadly speaking, it can be used in power generation, transmission, distribution and consumption applications to meet the Smart Grid's safety, security, reliability, resilience and efficiency needs. Many examples are available to illustrate very practical applications.
For example, CI can be used to forecast the amount of renewable energy that might be injected into a grid during a particular time period. We can then use this information to determine how much power production is needed from traditional sources, such as coal.
We can use CI for both short-term and long-term load forecasting. This is particularly important, given that population growth is one of the main factors inspiring the industry to produce more power. Similarly, we can use CI to inform our demand management programs.
CI can be used to help utilities respond to outages caused by natural disasters, such as storms or downed trees, which impact high-voltage transmission lines. When incorporated in a smart grid, CI can detect asymmetric single-phase-to-ground or two-phase-to-ground faults or symmetric three-phase to-ground faults and determine where the faults have occurred in the transmission and distribution system. This is a significant attribute in any power system.
CI can also be applied in conjunction with sensor networks to monitor power quality. If a power quality issue occurs, the system will alert the administrator, who can then take the steps necessary to address the problem.
CI can be used to monitor power losses from the grid. These losses usually average about 7% of a country's power production but in some countries, like South Africa, the losses represent about 17 percent. CI can not only monitor the losses but figure out the cause.
Finally, utilities can use CI to optimize the real-time process of purchasing energy from multiple suppliers based on price, variable rate or other data for recent or forecasted time periods. They can identify the best suppliers through CI as well.
Security applications for computational intelligence
We need to keep the energy supply chain secure. We must protect the grid's IT technologies, for instance, from hackers who might want to stop renewable energy production or access a utility's billing information.
In computer networks, many attacks are known to us. For example, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks are known attacks. We understand these attacks and can apply technologies and systems to help protect our networks against them. But how can we stop unknown attacks?
CI is an algorithmic approach that responds to the unknown in the way human beings respond to problems they haven't encountered before: the system uses the knowledge it has already acquired from previous experiences to develop a new mechanism to help stop the new attack. This is the beauty of CI and explains why CI has value in smart grid networks. It also explains how CI can create robust and dynamic security systems.
Moreover, because CI acquires and learns from traditional attack information, it will study a new attack and compare it to previous attacks. It will alert the network manager or administrator that the attack has occurred and that the system has stopped it. Even if a very strong unknown attack occurs in the smart grid and CI fails to stop it, the system will instantly alert the network manager that further action is required. So CI can determine how to address unknown attacks and it also automatically provides warnings when needed.
Cloud computing and data mining in smart grid systems
Cloud computing also has many useful applications in smart grid and data mining is one of its most significant attributes. A smart grid will continuously generate huge volumes of data about the weather, solar or wind characteristics, network security, people's electricity consumption and how much electrical power people add from their own roof-top systems to the grid. Utilities will need to store that data and cloud computing is the solution for that.
|The Internet of Things will play a significant role in smart grid. It will be used in network safety management, network operations and maintenance.
Once smart grid data is stored in the cloud, utilities will need data mining techniques to develop knowledge from the raw data. They will use the data to determine the relationship between demand and supply or to explain customer impressions or opinions about their smart grid services. So cloud computing, data mining, and smart grid are all very closely related.
I want to mention, however, that the quality of the intelligence we gain from data mining will be influenced by the quality and quantity of data we have available to us. Smart grid is creating a wonderful database that is a resource for monitoring the system and even solving operational problems. But the database needs to be comprehensive. We need a very good database for every section of the smart grid.
The "Internet of Things" will help implement smart grids
The Internet of Things brings connectivity to any object, whether the object is an element in the smart grid, a person or any other physical entity. It has the capability to automatically transfer data over a network without any human or human-to-computer interaction. It uses a combination of wireless technologies, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and the Internet.
The Internet of Things will play a significant role in smart grid. It will be used in network safety management, network operations and maintenance. It will be used to monitor the security of the smart grid, to manage end user interactions, and many other things. The Internet of Things is not just a big world of connected devices, it's also a tool that we can use to implement smart grid.
In order to meet the growing demand for electricity, we cannot be afraid of these new techniques and systems. The technologies and applications needed for smart grid are a 50-50 combination of modern information and communication technologies (ICT) and traditional grid technologies. We have these technologies. We just need to integrate existing systems.
While smart grid technologies are available, people from both ICT and utility engineering communities do need to work together to make the smart grid dream come true. ICT experts, statisticians, and mathematicians need to collaborate with people from the engineering side of the business to create successful systems and programs.

A pioneer among women in the equine industry, Lynn Palm Pittion-Rossillon has long had a passion for teaching. In fact, she instructed her first clinic in 1970 – long before any of her contemporaries at the top of today's clinician market had even considered horsemanship instruction as a viable profession. No other clinician today can begin to match Palm's proven performance record as an all-around trainer, showman, exhibitor and entrepreneur with a first-class reputation.
Lynn's accomplishments include:
34 Reserve and World Championships • 4 "Superhorse" Championships • Over 50 special bridleless exhibitions with the legendary Rugged Lark, including the 1989 World Cup and 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games • Judged AQHA World Championship Show 1990, 2000 and 2006 • Named 2000 AQHA Female Equestrian of the Year by the Women's Sports Foundation • 2003 Equine Affaire Exceptional Equestrian Educator Award winner • 2006 AQHA Professional Horsewoman of the Year • 2010 World Equestrian Games Clinician and Entertainer
Impressive as her performance record is, Palm says that her primary goal is to educate others on forming correct riding skills and building knowledge to increase the riding longevity of their horses. Lynn and her husband, Cyril Pittion-Rossillon, have created Palm Partnership Training with the mission of improving the rider first and foremost. The pair conducts clinics at Fox Grove Farm in Ocala, FL and at Royal Palm Ranch in Bessemer, MI in addition to Ride Well clinics across the country.
Palm offers a unique video and book library, including her most recent release, The Rider's Guide to Real Collection, as well as a partnership of websites. Additionally, Palm and Pittion-Rossillon host a show on HRTV featuring a variety of topics for all horse enthusiasts.

Thermal noise highlights viscoelasticity in micro-cantilever
Researchers based at the Université de Lyon, France, have discovered an unexpected 1/f like thermal noise spectrum below the first resonance of an AFM cantilever thanks to the low detection noise of their homemade interferometric AFM deflection sensor.
The fluctuation-dissipation theorem links the observed behaviour to a frequency independent dissipation process: the stiffness of the cantilever has a small constant imaginary part that describes the inner dissipation processes (as opposed to viscous damping by the surrounding atmosphere, which is roughly proportional to velocity, and thus frequency).
To go further than the simple observation, Ludovic Bellon and his team reconstructed the full mechanical response of the cantilever from Kramers-Kronig relations to end up with a phenomenological description of this viscoelasticity, which is shown to arise from the presence of a metallic coating on the micro-lever.
The result could lead to improved coating procedures and would also suit the study of cantilever-based chemical or biological sensors.
The researchers presented their work in the journal Nanotechnology.
About the author
Ludovic Bellon is a CNRS researcher and P. Paolino is his PhD student in the physics laboratory of the ENS de Lyon, Université de Lyon. Based on their homemade enhanced force resolution AFM, the group is currently exploring applications of thermal noise in the area of nano-physics.

Watch video tips and tricks
4 (14 ounce) cans
lower sodium beef broth
1 (16 ounce) package
frozen mixed vegetables
1 (12 ounce) package
frozen cooked meatballs
1 (15 ounce) can
small white beans, drained, rinsed
1 (14.5 ounce) can
Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes with Green Pepper, Celery & Onions, undrained
1/4 cup
Hunt's® Tomato Sauce-No Salt Added
1/4 teaspoon
Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/2 cup
small shell pasta
shredded Parmesan cheese
This was a very good base recipe. I did think it was a little bland but overall we really liked it. Just needs more seasoning & I added more veggies because we like our soups hearty. Will be fixing it again though.
I accidentally altered this recipe, but it turned out well! Instead of 1/4 cup of tomato sauce, I put in the whole can. Purpously, I added a small can (10 oz) of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, since we like spicier foods and I added a lot more shell noodles than the original called for. It was a nice amount of spice, but some would say it was too much. It also has a nice aroma! Enjoy!
8 Ratings
I used this recipe loosely. I used hamburger instead of frozen meatballs, and I used two bags of frozen veggies, instead of one. I also added black beans in addition to the white beans and left out the Italian spices.. Turned out wonderful! So glad to see this recipe, because I needed something to work off of!
My Family and I loved this soup! It was super easy to make. I didn't use meatballs because I didn't have any in the freezer, I used browned ground beef instead. The next time we make this we are omitting the meat all together as it was hearty enough without it. This is a definite keeper! It even tastes great after freezing the extras:)
I made this for my family a few days ago and when we had all had our share, it was gone. This is so full of flavor and yummyness and I highly recommend it!

Highly-anticipated space sim Star Citizen raised over $33 million since it launched its crowdfunding campaign a year ago.
This gives the game $10 million more than its initial expected budget.
Developer Robert Space Industries is expecting the funding to reach the $40 million mark by this November.
With each additional million, the studio will be adding new features to the game including different ships. At $33 million, Star Citizen will now feature the Anvil Carrack which "features on-board accommodations to allow for truly self-sufficient flight, including crew medical and repair facilities, and a mapping-oriented sensor suite capable of always charting a route home."
To celebrate Star Citizen's one-year anniversary since it first launched as a crowd-funded game, Robert Space Industries also hosted a four-hour livestream that showed never-before seen gameplay footage and revealed new details:
- Dogfighting module will not only be PvP but will include AI opponents as well.
- They have working version of Oculus Rift. Waiting for new HD set with the newer optics and trying to reduce lag from CryEngine. They want to wait until it's perfect and expect to having something public ready for early next year.
- Xbox One & PS4 controllers were spotted in the feed and responding to questions about their presence, Chris Roberts explained that they have them to play for research and to compare, joking that they'll destroy all of the available games. In a serious comparison to Ryse: Son of Rome,
- Capital ship battles will be a part of the game.
- Track IR support will launch next year.
- Dogfighting module likely not coming until early next year. Developers are adopting strategy of not releasing content or videos until they're polished enough – part of the beauty of not being under publisher or shareholder deadlines or budgets. When it does release, players will be able to earn "test credits" to buy and try different stuff available in the game.
- Roberts thanked fans and urged that the extra funds will help ensure that Star Citizen is the "best best sim ever." He confirms that it's the biggest budget space sim ever.
Star Citizen is due to launch in November 2014.
