Mercer and Autoerotique team up for a murderous collab on "Murda Dem", due July 29th on Dim Mak.
New remixes courtesy of Aoki and the Dim Mak fam.
Dim Mak in-house producers Felix Cartal and Autoerotique resurrect a timeless classic on this new rendition of Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three's "The Roof Is On Fire", with "Heat". Available July 11th.
The Chainsmokers' "#Selfie" has been one of the fastest growing tracks of the moment. That didn't stop Dim Mak labelmate Autoerotique from weighing in on it with a new "remix" of the song. Make of this what you will….
Three way cage match, happening April 8th on Dim Mak Records.
Autoerotique continues to kill 'em with the sharp turns and unexpected drops with this new remix of Deorro & Zoofunktion's "Hype", which hits April 1st on the almighty Dim Mak Records imprint. Bring the motherfuckin' hype!
Autoerotique celebrates hitting 100,000 Facebook Likes with another massive banger, for free download. "Thank you for 100,000 Likes on Facebook!! Dolphin house meets global warming."
Autoerotique keep the lazers firing with the LZR BASS Remixes EP. The original track is a relentless, body-gyrating banger within a fury of big room madness and endless bass. Now, producers/DJs Juyen Sebulba, Ape Drums, and Glow Team give their original takes on this massive remix package. Juyen Sebulba adds a new level of bass [cont.]
Autoerotique prepares for 2014 with a preview of his new track "Juice", from an as-of-yet-untitled EP, as well as a free download of "Nasty". Sounds like it will be a big year for the Dim Mak producer.
Following the success of "Play It Again", Autoerotique is at it again with another hard, body gyrating single. "LZR BASS" is enthralling from the very first beat. The Dirty Dutch influence shines bright [like a lzr] in this relentlessly fast paced electro banger.
Autoerotique unleashes his remix package for "Fuck You!" "Asphyxiation", featuring all new renditions by Uberjakd, Skitzofrenix, LOUDPVCK, and Botnek. The set is due tomorrow on iTunes.
You won't want to miss this exclusive interview with rapidly evolving DJ god Autoerotique as he gives Aoki the 4-1-1 on his hot new single "Apshyxiation." Not only has the track blown up the Beatport charts in recent days, but it's also launched viral web buzz with the incredibly erotic (no pun intended) music video [cont.]
We showed you the Keys N Krates remix of Felix and Auto's monster single, "The Alarm" last week, and today comes two new remixes from Charlie Darker and Eric Rincon. All 3 versions of the track are now available for purchase via Amazon.
Autoerotique gives a big "fuck you" to the censors with this borderline NSFW clip for his new single "Asphyxiation". Directed by Amos LeBlanc.
We showed you a preview of this back in October 2012, but now Autoerotique comes with a full preview of the track, now set for a May 28th release on Dim Mak.
Welcome to The Aoki Files. This is a new web series Steve Aoki is doing focusing on all the new Dim Mak artists and their releases. Every week he will interview different artists that have released a new record on Dim Mak Records THE ALARM is an electronic Chimera, it possesses 3 different attacks, each [cont.]
Our friends at DJCity premiered this track right under our noses last week, which finds Dim Mak co-conspirators Autoerotique and Felix Cartal team up for this very "alarming" new track. Look for this on Dim Mak on January 22nd.
Autoerotique previewed this track late last year, now offers it up for a free download. Bo! Bo! Bo!
Steve Aoki speaks with Fuse about how "caking" – the act of putting cake in the audience members faces at his shows – started. He explains that it is owed to Autoerotique's "Turn Up The Volume" video, which featured exploding cakes, and took on a life of it's own from there. Hopefully, Steve does not [cont.]
Autoerotique's recently released "WTF" single gets a video, done in vintage horror film style. Lots of violence and gore crammed into this five minute clip. Directed by Ryan Linder. Look out for the new remix single, with new versions by VCO and Damaged Goods, available now.

If your a guy and grow up with a normal life with normal, sound parents how can you be gay? How can you not like girls if your a guy? All normal boys and girls have crushes on the opposite sex when they're young. It's just natural. And don't give me the "born gay" antics. Those are false. Something happened along the way. Abuse maybe? Or you might have some sort of mental illness. Some people are just "confused" I guess...
This article was really gay...
Isn't Brian Daboll a Weiss guy?
4.8 pts 4.6 rebounds in 12 minutes....2009 stats
First, stop the racist comments on both sides
Second, let's lighten the mood and talk a little draft shall we fellas?
I personally am starting to like Chris Wells. I believe the browns need more play makers on both sides of the ball.
Anyone agree?
Well fellas...that just makes more room for Brian Robiske or maybe Hakeem Hicks...
Thoughts anyone?
Being African American...some of these posts really scare me
I'm loving how the people on these boards are using such strong racist statements
For example....
Why are blacks from all over the planet so violent?
----- by leavincle
Wow, are you serious or just extremely sheltered?
Shut up Livingston! Why not trade BE Breakhands Braylon?!
If DA is not gone by 3:00pm April 25 2009... I swear I will never watch a browns game again. And that is a promise.
Kellen...you were my favorite player in the NFL...I respected your game at the U and on this team. Yes you made some bad moves, but no doubt in my mind are you the best player to wear the Brown and Orange since 1999. You played with passion, something I can only say about you and not anybody on this terrible browns team. I even had your autograph. I just want to give you one final salute..
Sooooo... What about those Browns guys?!!.....
NFL free agency starts Friday and I was thinking the Browns should get Gibril Wilson...ya know...Radiers... pro bowl safety two years ago...any suggestions?....Bart Scott...Jim Leonhard...Ravens...Chris Canty...Cowboys...wow this is awkward! But uh...yeah!
Not joking...went to school with the kid who waited in the car. Was in my older brothers classes at th Milcovich Middle Schoo and Rockside Elementart... Kind of wierdto know that
But...oh well. One less criminal
Happy that everybody is so pessimistic. Mangini will probably do well. He was 8-3 before Farve remembered who he was.
I can't believe some people want to cut one of the best players the browns have had since the return in '99! You don�t know anything about football. Get of the message boards you morons!
I always thought football was about winning not about how much you care about somebody, not about how nice a guy he is but its about winning! Who cares that Crennel is a nice guy or that DA is a nice guy/ Football is about winning and both haven't been able to do so. If you can win, which is your job you lose your job
Good post...I totally agree, we don't want Crennelephant to further ruin Quinn's career, with terrible coaching
The sad thing is this is exactly what Phil was talking about before the season...The injury to the starting qb. I'm very frustrated! There's no reason to watch the games anymore! We just have to prepare for next year guys. On the bright side, if DA is decent we'll get a higher draft pick for him. We need to sign a veteran who can come in a play at a minutes notice. Da showed that he can't do that
Were not going to win any more games this year...Just start scouting for the draft
With the 6th pick in the 2009 draft the Cleveland Browns select...

Durham city budget estimate assumes tax increase
City Manager Tom Bonfield is launching his government's fiscal 2014-15 budget debate with the assumption he'll have to ask for an increase in the city's property tax rate.
Initial projections suggest the city will need more money to pay off debt and make up for the expiration of federal grants that'd covered the salaries of 16 police officers and 15 firefighters.
The city budget staff is assuming Bonfield will seek a 1.29-cent increase in the city's tax rate on every $100 of assessed property value.
That would cost the owner of a $150,000 house an additional $19.35, directly or through a mortgage escrow.
But the projections as they stand suggest the city would still be about $4.3 million short of producing a balanced budget for fiscal 2014-15.
Such gaps are entirely routine at this early stage of town and city budget debates in this state, and most always shrink as officials sharpen their revenue estimates.
"I feel like that's going to get better, and we're usually pretty conservative about that at this point," Bonfield said.
By comparison, the city started last year's budget debate with an estimated $5.2 million gap between projected revenues and expenses. Administrators and the City Council wound up balancing the 2013-14 budget without a tax increase.
They did, however, institute a $1.80-a-month fee for household garbage collection.
The current gap is already better than officials were thinking it might be this time a year ago. The city's five-year fiscal forecast last spring reckoned officials would face an $8.0 million shortage headed into 2014-15.
It predicted general-fund expenses of $181.7 million.
But the latest estimates, produced for a council meeting today, are that the city will receive $174.9 million and spend $179.2 million in 2014-15.
The spending numbers assume the council will increase cash allocations to street paving and facility maintenance, award civilian workers raises averaging 3 percent and give police and firefighters raises averaging 3.5 percent.
They also do not assume any major change in budget priorities.
Ideas like the "penny for parks" tax earmark proposal the council is receiving today are not in the current estimate, Bonfield said.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Camille Grammer Sends Her Support to Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif
In the wake of yesterday's devastating news that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof and her husband of 10 years, Dr. Paul Nassif, are divorcing, Camille Grammer offered her support to both her former castmates.
Camille, who's been enduring her own divorce-related drama (her ex Kelsey Grammer recently said some pretty nasty things on Oprah's Next Chapter), took to Twitter to offer her support for the former couple.
"So saddened by the news about Adrienne and Paul. Best to the both of them. From one mother to another... Stay strong Adrienne," she wrote.
Camille, who's expected to make a few cameos on RHoBH Season 3, has openly declared that Adrienne is her very favorite of the Beverly Hills Housewives.
Paul filed for divorce from Adrienne yesterday in Los Angeles court, following the tragic passing of his father, citing irreconcilable differences. Just a month ago, Paul filed for separation. They have three boys together: Gavin, Christian, and Colin.
Paul's public statement to TMZ about their decision to divorce read, "Adrienne and I have tried very hard to make our marriage work, but this is the best course for both of us. This is a difficult time for our family and my prime focus is to ensure our boys are well and happy … In addition, sadly I just lost my father yesterday — a man who taught me how to be a man. I deeply appreciate the outpouring of support from family, friends, and patients. We will get through this."

Poplar or Tulip Tree (Lyriodendrum tulipifera)
"This tree, which surpasses most others in North America in height and in the beauty of its foliage and of its flowers, is also one of the most interesting from the numerous and useful applications of its wood.
In the large towns in the United States, [the tree's] boards ... are exclusively used for the panels of coaches and chaises. When perfectly dry they receive paint well and admit of a brilliant polish. The vicinity of Boston does not produce this tree, and the coach-makers procure it from New York and Philadelphia.
In the spring, [the flowers] are gathered by the women and children in the neighborhood of New York, and sold in the markets of that city."

As a matter of fact, there is an entry in gcc testsuite that triggers that specific issue.

As the weather changes from cold to hot, you may feel that your dog would stay cooler if you cut his fur. However, before you do that, you need to think about what type of dog you have and what the layers of fur actually do for a dog, particularly if they are a double coated breed.
Look into the type of coat your particular dog has. Not all coats are the same, and what may seem cooler to you may not actually be helping your dog. In many cases, it's better to opt for daily grooming and maintenance instead of shaving off your dog's protective fur. You may be doing more damage than good by removing natural covering.
Types of Dog Hair
Some dogs have what is called a double coat. It is actually two layers of hair that are meant to protect the dog from the elements, including heat. The undercoat is thicker and softer than the overcoat. The double layers actually trap cooler air in against the dog's body. It is built-in insulation. Huskies and German Shepherds are two types of dogs with double coats. It may look hot to you and be work to take care of their coat, but you may be doing them a disservice by shaving them if it is not absolutely necessary because of extreme coat damage.
Other dog breeds have single coats, such as the Doberman Pinscher or the French Bulldog. Some dogs are non-shedders or low shedders, such as the Poodle, Kerry Blue Terrier or Lakeland Terrier, but some non-shedders or low shedders can be double coated as well. The point is to know and understand your particular dog's breed and coat type before you make any decisions regarding shaving or clipping for hot weather.

Rich has to give Peter the latest and greatest on all the things going on in his life, and when it comes to Erica and Cyn's relationship, Rich tells his friend "If it's real, then she's more of a creep than YOU are. She's told me a hundred times, 'If you would just act right, I would cut this relationship off!'" She leaves Rich's mind a mess because of the games she seems to play with him, especially because, and here's the big bomb, Rich tells Peter that Erica hosted a party not three days ago, and afterward they left together and smashed.
"Dollaz told you a long time ago that it was just a matter of time before she came back home. She's home."
Peter asks Rich if he would commit to Erica if she broke things off with Cyn, and Rich responds "Clearly, I love her, she loves me. Or we wouldn't still be here."

Mass Effect
Developer: Bioware
Publisher: EA Games
Genre: Role-Playing Game
Release Date: 05/28/08
Granted this game has been out for almost a year on the PC, and over a year on the Xbox 360, but I hadn't had a PC that could run this effectively in my household until this Christmas when I got my new laptop. Only then could I really get in and play this game thoroughly and look in every nook and cranny it had to offer. And yes, since the downloadable content Bring Down the Sky was free with the PC version, that's gotten lumped in as well.
You're given great options in dialogue and most of the attitudes you'd want to give the NPCs in the game are represented with the appropriate snark from your character. And then of course there's the usual romance. If you're playing a male Shepard you can choose between the slightly obnoxious and racist (she hates aliens) hot human chick, or the slightly naive and very blue and hot alien chick. If you're playing a female Shepard you get to choose between
Carth Onasi a slightly sensitive Metrosexual biotic boy or the slightly naive and very blue and hot alien chick. Ahhh, Lesbian sex scene for the win! Oh come on, if you had to pick between the slightly doofy guy with Carth's voice actor or the hot alien, you'd go for the hot alien too. Cause let's face it, any real sci-fi fan wants to get with the blue alien at least once. Where was I? Story? Yeah, sorry, got distracted with the lesbians.
You start the game as Commander Shepard, a career military person ('cause you can play man or woman in this) who's being evaluated by the ruling council in the universe, which surprisingly enough, humanity isn't on. You've been given a watchdog in the form of a Spectre, an operative for the council who works above the law, who is evaluating whether or not you'd be a good candidate for the Spectres, which humanity is also not yet involved with.
Let's just say not all goes well on your first mission, and with much foreshadowing you're thrown into the thick of things, trying to figure out what's going on with a mysterious spaceship and the fate of the universe. Most of the NPCs you meet in the game have a back story to them and each of your companions that you pick up have their own unique back story that unfolds as you talk to them between missions. There is a definite sense they can go some really cool places with this world, and the information that they inundate you with at first seems a bit over-whelming, but is much more appreciated later on when you need it when making conversation choices.
I haven't been this engaged in the story of a PC RPG like this one since Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and it's sequel. Bioware really are the masters of spinning a fantastic tale.
Story Rating: Unparalleled
But why are you rating it so high if there's all this repetition, you ask? Because what they have put in looks freaking awesome! From the elegant but useful and functional look of the ships, to the amazing views of the Citadel station, to watching a planet set on the horizon of the moon you're roving across, or the butt of the alien chick in your party as you sneak through another mercenary base, this game looks fantastic. It loses its shiny when you take the settings down a notch, and I did check that, but when you have it all maxed out, this game looks fantastic. The designs are original and unique and the texturing is done really well. That and it's really hard to make an ugly character in character creation unless you're really trying hard.
I re-created the guy from Gears of War, or rather a close approximation, using some sliders I found online, so yeah, ugly is possible, but it still looks damned good. The character options are a bit limited, but I found this more fun than some of the others I've messed with over the years, like Oblivion, where it's very hard to make someone look either attractive, or the way you had it in your mind before you started changing the settings. The game has a very cinematic quality to it, and I've heard people whine about the film grain, but the film grain gives the game a character and feel all it's own. It just doesn't look as good without the film grain filter.
Graphics Rating: Amazing
The other issue I have is the dialogue, and this has been in every Bioware game I've played since they made Knights of the Old Republic and including that one. Every few interactions with NPCs, the sound will cut out in the dialogue, either at the start or the end, which is ok and only slightly annoying if you have subtitles on, but really annoying when you don't because you find them too distracting. They have yet to get this quite right, but it happens much less in Mass Effect than it did to me in KOTOR. So they're getting there, but it cost them some sound cred.
Sound Rating: Incredible
As far as gameplay goes, there are many action combat engines out there for RPGs, but Mass Effect utilizes a variation on a 3rd person engine that at first felt a lot like Gears of War. Sure you can pause the action to give your squad mates limited orders, but most of the time, the standard AI on the PC version utilizes your squad and their abilities better than you can. It also uses a cover and shield system that works very well on the PC version. Cover provides protection so your shield can build back up, but at the same time you can return fire at the enemy by ducking around the cover, unless you're using the sniper rifle which can leave you vulnerable, but also provide you with very satisfying one shot kills. There are Biotic and Engineering skills you can use besides your firearms, and I have to say using lift and throw on an enemy is very satisfying, especially when they crunch against the ground or a wall. Almost as good as blowing up key gas tanks or energy canisters in the area or plugging them with a shotgun. Where this differs from a shooter is that the game takes into account your ability with a weapon. Depending on range and how close you are to hitting your targeting reticule, you could miss and miss often. This is an RPG after all and not a shooter.
The other part of the gameplay falls upon driving around in a vehicle that looks like a cross between an APC and the mobile drilling machines from Armageddon. For the most part, the Mako responds really well, turning when you want, stopping when you want and engaging the thrusters quite well to break a fall or jump over a missile. Yeah you read that right. It even handles well on most of the hills. My two complaints with the Mako sequences, and these are outside of the main missions and only the sidequests, are it's handling in mountains and targeting and firing in those mountains.
Most of the time the Mako handles like a dream, until you're climbing up a mountain or trying to maneuver around those steep cliffs and then it's like driving a great lumbering moose. That was the only time I ever cursed at the thing was during those secondary quests looking for more minerals or anomalies showing up on radar. The other problem with that is the Mako has a certain targeting area. It follows your mouse along, but if you're on a steep incline going either way you're going to have a problem shooting the enemy in your sights. You're just not going to hit them and be forced to move out of cover. It's a minor annoyance, but it does shatter your amusing romp on the wilderness planets.
Control and Gameplay Rating: Great
I'd say Mass Effectt is good for a number of play-throughs, with at least two just for the differing experiences of seeing what the Paragon or Renegade have to offer. Me I'm planning on playing this for awhile, and if it's anything like my gaming relationship with KOTOR, I'll have replayed it 6 or 7 times before the sequel even shows up on shelves.
Replayability Rating: Great
The bosses aren't insanely hard either, but you have to use different tactics to fight each of them, which is refreshing to see in an RPG, action or otherwise. I grew kind of tired of having to grind my characters up just to survive the super blast of the final boss so they could deal 50 million damage to it over the course of an hour's combat. I like being able to exercise a bit of combat strategy and have it work effectively taking the bosses down. Overall I'd say depending on which difficulty level you're playing at, Mass Effect has nailed that delicate balancing act.
Balance Rating: Amazing
It's like the designers went into Blade Runner, Aliens, Star Trek,Star Wars and any other good sci-fi out there and took what they wanted and what they thought would work and made it their own. Which is really what any good sci-fi does, and that, of course, is steal from Doctor Who. :P But even when you're seeing things borrowed from other sci-fi and media, it's almost always an homage and never the same as we've seen it before. The Geth aren't exactly the Cylons, they're much more evolved than the Centurions from the old show. The bug-like Rachni popping out of the floors has that same creep factor that it did when you were watching Aliens the first time and all those Xenomorphs dropped out of the ceiling on Ripley and crew. Biorware took what worked, made it their own and presented it in this new way within their own universe and that's really what it's all about.
Originality Rating: Classic
Not Mass Effect. My wife has basically become a Mass Effect widow, and with me going to second shift I'll get even more uninterrupted time to play this game while she's at work. Yeah, I'm an addict, and I don't care. No meetings for me, just more Mass Effect. I'll have to be careful because I have a tendency to really overdo it with things I love, and I'm sure my co-workers, friends and of course, my wife, will get sick of hearing about this game pretty quickly.
Addictiveness Rating: Amazing
Appeal Factor Rating: Amazing
Whenever it did crash it was when i was talking to someone, so it's probably my sound drivers there. I had a few other oddities that didn't really affect gameplay, and by few I mean 2 oddities. Once on the bridge the XO was floating. I don't mean he was high or anything, but he was about 5 ft off the deck floating in the air next to his console. I was highly amused by this and walked circles around him for awhile and then after I talked to him he was back on the floor again.
The other time, Liara (the blue alien chick) was determined to engage in combat with anything and everything after I'd put weapons away and tried to rally her. She wouldn't stick by me, just stood there with her weapon out looking all blue and hot and angry. After I jumped in one of the many elevators in the game she started behaving again and I haven't had her or any other team member do that again since.
I realize many people have been having problems with this and I have to wonder if it's their systems. This game requires a LOT of processing power. I really don't think a single core is up to it even if they have a single core listed as the minimum requirement. It pushed my dual cores to the max 90% of the time I was playing. Up to date drivers or the recommended ones for this game would obviously be a must. For a 360 port to the PC though, this has been an incredibly smooth game and I have to give the programmers their due for this.
My other misc. that really doesn't fit anywhere else, are the Easter Eggs that Bioware threw in. From the Star Trek III reference I caught, to the DLC Bring Down the Sky feeling like Armageddon with alien invaders, one of the alien races being stuck in a flotilla of spaceships after having their homeworld wiped out by their own robotic creations ala Battlestar Galactica, this game has references all over the place to the classics. They even reference a few great fantasy stories I've read. They're not always obvious, but they are fun and gave me great amusement.
Miscellaneous Rating: Classic
Short Attention Span Summary
Mass Effect is an addictive, original, sci-fi action RPG that really delivers a fantastic story that any sci-fi or RPG fan can appreciate. The PC version has fixed a few bumps and glitches that were present in the 360 version, and although it needs a beast of a PC to run, is well worth having and ranks right up there with the other recent PC RPGs that have hit the market the last few years. Do yourself a favor and get this game.

We absolutely loved Jason Mraz's new video for "I Won't Give Up" and now we're loving his live performance of the song on Letterman. Mraz played a stripped down version of the song, strumming his guitar along with one female back up singer who added dynamism to the lyrics. Emotionally charged as always, Mraz's performance didn't fail to convey the romantic sentiment of the song. The live performance was perfect in every way, from Mraz's gentle vocal to the emphatic emotion he played out.
Tuned In: Megadeth Play For Jimmy Kimmel's Halloween Special
Last night, Jimmy Kimmel Live celebrated Halloween the way it was supposed to be celebrated — with grotesque costumes and Megadeth playing on stage. The iconic metal band went all out and got ghoulish in some of the best creepy costumes we've seen this year, revising tried and true classics like Frankenstein's monster, Wolf Man and Count Dracula. The band played two songs, "Public Enemy No. 1″ and "Symphony Of Destruction" to close the epic show, which saw Kimmel (appropriately?) dressed as a monkey.

Step 1: Gather Some Poster Tubes And Beer
My partner collects posters and I've been looking for a way to use these poster tubes for over a year. I was excited for this project.
Step 1-
Go shopping for beer and then gather your tubes. The amount of tubes and size of them will depend on the beers you choose. You'll need 24 beer and tube sections in all.
Step 2: Measure And Cut Your Tubes
Scissors will leave you struggling to cut these tubes. I used a saw and it may have been a bit of overkill. It's probably in your best interest to use a craft knife to cut these tubes. My tubes started at different lengths, some tubes gave me 2 sections while others gave me 3.
Step 3: Glue And Clamp
While I did fasten the horizontal rows of tubes, I didn't fasten all the tubes together as I figure it'll make for easier storage between seasons.

Closer to Earth
Minority representation in media is a tricky thing. Usually, with most media the majority is represented pretty well with minorities fighting for airtime. And with historically-oppressed minorities, you don't want to add insult to injury by portraying them badly. So what is a writer to do? Why, simply make them more rational! Closer to Earth is a specific form of Positive Discrimination in which the minority character is portrayed as wiser and more level-headed than The Hero (who is usually played by a member of the majority). This trope is more prevalent in Western media, particularly with works with the White Male Lead. The minority character will usually be the moral center of the work. They dish out plenty of reasonable advice. They're level-headed and rational. They can and will give the main lead a good talking to if he gets out of line. They're always there when the hero needs a shoulder to cry on. As for themselves, they've always got it together and never need help. Personal struggles? Overcome years ago. Flaws? They don't have any. It all sounds great, but unfortunately this trope carries a hefty load of unhappy subtext and ultimately flatters no one. The White Male Lead comes across as helpless, unable to succeed without his hypercompetent minority assistant. Meanwhile, the minority character (lacking any problems to solve or flaws to overcome) is reduced to a Flat Character who is only in the story to serve the clueless Caucasian lead. So this trope can be offensive even as it earnestly tries not to offend.
Closer to Earth is the Super Trope of the following:
- Women Are Wiser
- Manic Pixie Dream Girl
- Magical Asian
- Magical Negro
- Magical Queer
- Magical Native American

3 Ways to Keep Current on Changing Technology
As parents, safety is always on our minds whether our kids are online or using mobile devices but it's difficult to know exactly what to do when there are so many things to be wary of. There isn't a one size fits all model for all families, nor is there a guidebook featuring a flowchart of instructions to help parents educate their children about the risks and rewards. Instead, the best thing to do is to have open lines of communication.
Being involved in your child's on and offline lives demonstrates that you care. I know it seems obvious but actions speak louder than words. If you show interest in what they're doing, kids are more inclined to feel accountable to a parent who is plugged in, rather than checked out. Even if you can't stay a step ahead of them, staying in step and learning along with them is perfectly acceptable.
But how do you keep up?
It can be tricky since technology is always changing thanks to new devices, different operating systems, and risks that develop each and every day.
Here are 3 simple things that you can do to make sure that even if you aren't an early adopter, at least you aren't a technological dinosaur:
- Ask your kids. Let's be honest. Our kids love it when they know more than we do, so exploit this at all costs and ask them to teach you something new on whatever device they love. Perhaps you'll bond over Assassin's Creed or Mario Kart, learn about a new social music service, or learn text lingo so you can stop spelling everything out which is so last year.
- Rely on your village. Ask fellow parents about what websites, apps, and video games are popular in their house to get an idea of what is popular. Not only will you get an idea of the hot age-appropriate titles, but probably some insight about pros and cons of each, along with issues regarding technology such as limiting screen time.
- Stalk tech blogs. TechCrunch, Slashdot, and Gizmodo are great for the latest news but can be a little overwhelming in terms of techie jargon. I recommend sites written by parents for parents such as Techlicious, Cool Mom Tech and technology blogs by fellow moms like Little Tech Girl, Scraps of My Geek Life, Divas and Dorks, Tech4Moms, and TechMamas.

John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston are at it again! Just two days after they were spotted getting off a private plane in LA, the two were seen having a PDA-fest at Tower Bar on Sunset. According to Us magazine they arrived Tuesday night at 10PM and sat inside with three friends.
Onlookers say, "They looked like they had the best time. They were holding hands at one point and seemed very much back on.She seemed extremely happy to be back with him. They were close and laughing the whole time with their friends."
We don't know what to make of this rekindling. They both did seem really happy with each other, but fell out of it so quickly. Maybe it was too much for the two of them having to deal with the paparazzi all the time. But we just hope for Jen's sake that she's happy! Because lord knows she deserves it!

(Memphis) A Mid-South University, known for a history of racial tension, is in the spotlight again.
Some members of the Ole Miss football team are being investigated for heckling performers during a play depicting the story of a gay man, but some say the football players are not the problem.
The student actors want to make it clear that it wasn't just the football team acting hateful – it really was almost the entire audience.
"It's not that football players are homophobic or that they don't show respect, it's that the majority of our audience was making us physically and psychologically uncomfortable," said Rachel Staton, one of the performers.
Young actors got-up on stage to depict the life of a student tortured to death for being gay only to feel attacked themselves.
"There is a moment in the show where I literally say 'I'm 52 years old and I'm gay' and there is silence and I felt this overwhelming amount of judgment and then laughter," said performer Garrison Gibbons, who also identifies as gay.
Garrison and others on campus say it's not easy being gay at Ole Miss, but in the theater Tuesday night, it became obvious that it may take a little longer for the less brave to come out.
"A lot of gay members of our theater department that were in the show have expressed that they are now extremely fearful to even walk around campus and show that they are gay at all," said Student Cayley Smith.
In the past, there have been racial tensions Ole Miss, including a race riot after voters reelected president Obama.
Now, this.
"I think it's sad that people can't be comfortable with their sexuality around campus," said Ann Conner Dickerson, a journalism student.
"We want to find out what happened to make sure we keep the university an inclusive environment where everybody feels comfortable," said Danny Blanton, spokesperson for the University of Mississippi.
On October 12, it'll be 15 years since Matthew Shepard was beaten to death. It's what the play The Laramie Project is about.
"15 years later and what's changed?" asked Performer Nathan Daniel Ford
The university of Mississippi's Athletics' department released a statement Thursday afternoon apologizing for the behavior of the football players and saying all those responsible will be held accountable.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, September 2012, Page 65
Waging Peace
Syrian Humanitarian Situation Sours
At a June 15 press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC held by the Syrian Expatriates Organization, activists from the cities of Hama, Al-Houleh, Homs and Damascus spoke to reporters via Skype.
The activists chose to use pseudonyms in order to protect their identities. Even then, according to Dr. Abdul Majeed Katranji of the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS), they were at risk of being detected by the Syrian regime's extensive Internet surveillance network.
Abu 'Arab, from Hama, said that the city currently is being held captive and is separated by a series of checkpoints. He further alleged that President Bashar al-Assad's regime has conducted a series of random raids on the city in an effort to seek out opposition fighters. He also claimed that the regime has targeted children, whom he called "the flowers and future of the country."
Abu 'Arab described in detail a June 6 massacre in Al-Aqbayr and Al-Qustoon, towns near Hama, stating that 25 children suffered gruesome deaths resulting from stabbings, shootings and burnings. A total of 78 people were killed in those attacks, Abu 'Arab said.
Abu' Osama of Al-Houleh described a massacre that occurred May 25 and 26 in the Teldo area of Al-Houleh. According to Abu' Osama, a total of 63 people were killed in the two-day massacre. He stressed the dire humanitarian crisis in the town, saying that basic "elements of life," such as food and water, are scarce.
Abu Rami of Homs, a city that has been the site of much fighting, said that the city's residents are "under the prison of the regime." Claiming that the people of Homs are in an unlivable situation, he noted that there is a severe lack of food in the city and charged that Assad's regime is dominating water sources.
Furthermore, Abu Rami said that snipers regularly target medical groups, and have recently occupied two hospitals in Homs. His distress palpable, Abu Rami begged for Red Crescent or Red Cross workers to enter the area.
Speaking from the relatively less "hot" Damascus, Abu Hadi highlighted an aspect of the crisis mentioned by several of the other activists: childbirth deaths. The lack of medical attention being given to mothers in labor has resulted in a spike in labor-related deaths, he explained, adding that these deaths are especially frustrating for medical personnel because they can be easily avoided with basic medical facilities.
Dr. Katranji of SAMS echoed the activists' descriptions of the growing humanitarian crisis, charging that there has been a "specific targeting of rehabilitation institutions" and that these attacks cause the effects of the conflict to be deepened. Dr. Katranji, who has assisted Syrian refugees in Turkish camps, accused the Assad regime of targeting towns that refugees travel through while fleeing violence in their own city. Such tactics, he said, intimidate townspeople and make them reconsider harboring refugees.
Katranji implored the journalists in attendance to more fully highlight the humanitarian crisis in Syria. "We need 200 to 300 field hospitals. Currently there are 55," he said. "With no-fly zones and medical shields, doctors and international coalitions can at least aid in the most basic medical problems."

A group of online-learning ventures is collaborating on a new kind of free class to be offered this fall, known as a mechanical MOOC (for "massive open online course"), that will teach a computer-programming language by patching together existing resources from open-learning sites.
Unlike courses already available online, the new class will not require a traditional instructor, or a large start-up investment.
The new course, "A Gentle Introduction to Python," will blend content from M.I.T.'s OpenCourseWare, instant-feedback exercises and quizzes from Codecademy, and study groups organized by OpenStudy, and will be coordinated through an e-mail list operated by Peer 2 Peer University.
"The MOOCs that have come out in the last six months are really incredible and have truly moved the needle for online learning, but they are based on very sophisticated central platforms and require significant resources to develop," Philipp Schmidt, Peer 2 Peer University's co-founder, said in a statement.

4.0 out of 5 stars May be too simple and monochromatic for most SF fans.
15 years from now, people are going to pick up this movie and wonder why so many people thought it was bad--there's actually very little wrong with it: memorable performances from Sizemore, Stamp and Kilmer, better science than the average Hollywood flick, a nifty mystery, a logical triumph of man over machine (aren't we all a little tired of omnipotent, indestructible...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good flick, just needs some characters
I am a SF junkie and will watch just about anything - even if I don't like it. Red Planet - With Carrie Moss, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore and Terrance Stamp - isn't in that category but it teeters at times.
The special effects are not bad.
The science IS bad, and inconsistant, but since this is a movie and not a documentary, so I suppose that's allowable.

4.0 out of 5 stars May be too simple and monochromatic for most SF fans.,
Desired FX "Call me Don. It's shorter than Is... (North Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews
15 years from now, people are going to pick up this movie and wonder why so many people thought it was bad--there's actually very little wrong with it: memorable performances from Sizemore, Stamp and Kilmer, better science than the average Hollywood flick, a nifty mystery, a logical triumph of man over machine (aren't we all a little tired of omnipotent, indestructible robots?), and crisp suspense as the astronauts race the clock to escape the tightening noose of a mission gone awry.
It was promoted as a SF/Horror flick similar to ALIEN, and it really isn't--it's more like Alfred Hitchcock directing THE RIGHT STUFF.
All the SF movie fans I know tend to like byzantine tales, historic in scope, filled with quirky characters roaming rich new landscapes, so this simple tale of a small group of men trying to escape a desolate red planet within a short span of hours might not be rich enough for them. (The SF fanboys won't like it because Carrie-Anne Moss's shower scene is too short and doesn't show enough...er...Moss.)
It's definitely worth a rental, but you won't want to own it unless you're a suspense fan that revels more in how a film is put together than in how it turns out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good flick, just needs some characters,
Michael Bond (Shawnee, OK United States) - See all my reviews
I am a SF junkie and will watch just about anything - even if I don't like it. Red Planet - With Carrie Moss, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore and Terrance Stamp - isn't in that category but it teeters at times.
The special effects are not bad.
The science IS bad, and inconsistant, but since this is a movie and not a documentary, so I suppose that's allowable.
I would have loved to see more Terrance Stamp.
The relationships between the crew are not well explained and take unexpected turns here and there. The flashback- oh yeah - this happened - scene to explain the Kilmer-Moss relationship irritated me. Why on earth (or Mars) not show it as it happened - then we might all understand the situation. At times, I was wondering "Why are they acting like this?"
Not bad - SF fans will still like it - keep expectations low.
3.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable though not gripping,
With over-population and pollution threatening the future of the human race by the middle of the 21st century, NASA turns to Mars as a possible avenue for colonization. (Robots sent ahead build Hab-1, a condo for the crew on Mars; they also sprinkle lakes of algae meant to convert Mars's CO2 atmosphere into breathable oxygen). Led by the ultra-competent Commander Bowman (Carrie Moss), and including a philospoher (Terrence Stamp), the hot-shot (Ben Bratt), the existentialist geneticist (Tom Sizemore) and a terra-former named Pettengill (Simon Baker) whose selfishness borders on paranoia, the team nears Mars full of anticipation. The only crewman not quite awed by the prospect if Gallagher (Kilmer) the wisecracking janitor. When a gamma-energy burst cripples the ship before it can make a planned landing, the crew (sans Moss) escape and make landfall (Mars-fall, I guess) before they've had time to scout the planet from orbit. Big mistake - something has wrecked their habitat, stranding the team on Mars. With the mothership barely able to do more than either fall-out of orbit or head for home, Kilmer and crew are forced to rely on each other, with little more to do than watch the oxygen levels of their spacesuits drop. Surprise - they find the Martian atmosphere now loaded with oxygen - condemning them to death by starvation instead of asphyxiation. Also, they must now guard against AMEE, their survey robot run amok. A CGI wonder, AMEE morphs between different predatory poses - human and panther. AMEE was actually designed for the military - and a hard landing on the planet only brings up her darker side. On the team's own side (barely evening out the odds) are a few surprises - mostly involving salvaging barely usable technology from the few probes that mankind successfully landed on Mars.
This is a pretty good film - Val Kilmer plays a surprisingly likeable guy, though the film is pretty much paint-by numbers. There aren't that many surprises here (like the order in which the team members die off). The film actually does less to surprise than simply suspend your belief (you'd think that with the money they'd spent on the mission and its importance for the survival of humanity, the planners would have screened out nut-jobs like Pettengill; with all their high-tech, none of the team detect oxygen until they crack their visors and find out they can breathe). It would have been cool to expand on the teams use of all that old earth-junk, but the script was obviously hobbled by the fact that so few missions actually made it to Mars (whether you're counting in metric or otherwise, the number is pretty small). Mars itself gets too little exposure in the script - with the planet approximating little more than a big desert with harsh weather - even though the red planet has much to offer. (Oxygen aside, what about the missing ozone layer that's supposed to shield our heroes from deadly UV rays? Even an oxygen-rich atmosphere means little when the atmospheric pressure at sea-level is thinner than what you'd get half a mile over Mt. Everest.) The flick works on its stars, mainly Kilmer, but also Carrie Moss and especially Tom Sizemore playing (again) the tough but tender no. 2 man (seen in "Private Ryan".) Definitely good for a Saturday night rental around February, when there's nothing spectacular enough to spend real money at the Multiplex.
5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable movie.,
mdizzog (USA) - See all my reviews
I can't really find any problems to hate this movie. Let's face it, you can't expect every movie to be the Lord of the Rings. You know there are tons of movies, some of which aren't as popular as others but are still alright movies. Why watch these movies? Because they are entertaining. This movie is entertaining. I like movies that entertain me and don't try to be the number one flick of the year or all time for that matter.
Val Kilmer is a great actor, I love all his movies, and this movie is no exception. He plays a pretty cool mechanic. I dislike Carrie slightly in this movie because of her stupid journal entry thingies. You know, "Gallagher was the mechanic, Jimbo was the weapons blah blah blah." Get on with it. After the beggining, and the stupid journal entry at the end, I like the movie. I saw it in theatres when it came out, and it has a cool atmosphere. I was slightly bored because I had homework to do, but the movie was still enjoyable. The robot is awesome. It flips and ... does stuff with a hover thingy, and even employs some crazy tactics. The bugs are fine, and the plot is great. "No it isn't. Mdizzio." Yes it is man, it is great. There is oxygen on a planet, some guys were going down to like check the colonization or something, i forget. But still, they were there for a reason, they found out there was no algae, and soon the plot comes down on you. Killer robot, killer firefly-bees, a spaceship, and a little space-shiperooni. I like the special effects.
If I watched it a third time, I would still be slightly intrested because I wasn't paying too much attention to the movie, but I still like it. In the dark with nothing to do but watching Red Planet would be cool. The atmosphere, combined with great special effects really makes the movie worth-while. Stop saying it is a "B" movie, because it is a pretty good movie, and I don't really think anyone could justify that it was a bad movie. Seriously though, what is bad about it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Solidly Entertaining,
Timothy D. Leclair (Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
I think Red Planet is a true victim of bad marketing. When making up the (very few) trailers and tv spots for this movie, Warner Bros. decided to make it seem like some sort of action packed thrill ride. Even the tagline (something like "They didn't find life on Mars. It found them." Oh no! Scary!) suggests a similar movie to Scott's Alien. Since there was very little advertisement for the film (at least where I come from), plus the fact that it had to contend with Charlie's Angels and The Grinch, very few people actually saw the theatrical release, and those who did were going in with the preconceived Alien notion. While there are aliens in the film, they aren't what you'd expect and they only have a minor role. Roger Ebert, however (who gave the film 3 out of 4 stars) said it was one of the most memorable alien encounters he'd seen in years. I think he's right. Yes, there are mistakes in the film, but that's why it's called science-FICTION. The acting is pretty good, Carrie-Anne Moss being the standout, with Tom Sizemore a close second. The movie is funny, has its fair share of action, and is never dull. The cinematography is stunning and the soundtrack is one of the best I've heard in any movie in any genre. No, the movie is not perfect and it could have done a few things better, but it is very, very, VERY far from being a bad film. Instead of expecting an Alien, Starship Troopers, Pitch Black type of movie, people should go in thinking more along the lines of a big-budget cheesy B-movie and just enjoy the ride. Because what a ride it is.
And as a little sidenote, since I've seen this written several times, there's no more nudity in this movie than there is in your typical TV shampoo commercial.
2.0 out of 5 stars What a Waste,
Joseph A. Bergeron (Binghamton, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This movie had a good cast, lots of resources, good production design, and a pretty convincing depiction of Mars. It could also have been a good movie if a little intelligence had been devoted to the script. Instead, the scientific illiteracy of the thing renders it an annoying joke. Take, for example, the "nematodes" (which are worms, by the way, not insects). The explanation for the rich Martian atmosphere is that the "nematodes" are eating algae and somehow "making oxygen". Well, guess what...it's plants and algae that "make oxygen"...eating it in order to make O2 by some other process is absurd and meaningless. Also, the state of the Martian atmosphere comes as a surprise to the explorers, yet somehow the ships's sensors are able to measure the atmospheric pressure as "865 millibars"...which is nearly the normal pressure on Earth...which should have been a clue that something odd was going on. Dramatically, the extraneous addition of the killer robot is merely synthetic "excitement" added to try to strenghten a lousy script. What a waste of effort to produce a movie that has already been pretty much forgotten.
2.0 out of 5 stars Oh, Dear.,
Mike (UK) - See all my reviews
It's 2024, or 2036 or 2096 - or whenever it is - and we've "killed the planet earth" (We've done that already by the way. Summers aren't what they used to be.) Apparently we have no option but to bombard the surface of Mars with moss and hope it grows so we can next go and kill Mars. Naturally, our botanical experiments are a huge success and in no time at all, we've converted a lifeless space-rock into Bali. The next thing we've got to do is overcome radiation, gravity, reality, acting and direction and propel five Americans and an ageing Englishman across the cosmos to see how fast we can set up shop on our nearest neighbour. Naturally, our little voyage is a catastrophe. The space philosopher-cum-senior citizen played by Terence Stamp dies in the opening twenty minutes, ostensibly of a spleen injury, but one suspects of embarrassment. A robot called AMEE, created by the American military to assist matters falls on its head and decides to murder the whole crew. The 'craft' is hit by a solar flare and catches fire. The ground party land miles from their destination and run out of oxygen ten minutes after discovering that their home-from-home has been ravaged by martian cockroaches. Oh - and by the way - you can breathe on Mars. It has to do with the moss. And the cockroaches. Or something. I could go on - but I won't. Lacking in every department, though an impressive advertisement for Arizona.
2.0 out of 5 stars Antony Hoffman's Red Planet,
In 2057, our planet is dying, choking on man made pollution (and you thought recycling your soda cans would help). A misfit ragtag crew is sent to Mars. We have been sending unmanned probes there in the past. These probes have been depositing algae on the planet, which expels oxygen and will allow man to breathe.
The crew consists of five actors and Carrie-Anne Moss. Moss opens the film with some narration introducing the crew and talking of their differences. Except for Terence Stamp, who is old and thereby gets the thankless role of sexless voice of reason, all the other guys are chauvinist jerks. Val Kilmer, Benjamin Bratt, Tom Sizemore, and Simon Baker all have long complicated titles, but really do not do anything in the film to differentiate themselves from each other. They do lust after Moss and can throw out a lame one liner with the best of them.
Things go wrong as soon as their ship gets to the red planet. A space storm renders the ship useless. The guys are sent down to the surface and find no algae. The crew begins to die one by one. Stamp is dispatched before he can convert everyone else's faith from science to something cosmically bigger in the universe. Baker makes an oopsy and pushes Bratt off a cliff. A malfunctioning robot is also along for the ride, deciding to take out the crew for wanting to use it for spare parts. The planet station they were to use when they got down to the surface is destroyed by unseen forces, possibly another life form. Finally, how come everyone can breathe when all the algae is missing?
You might be thinking: cool; a killer robot, a flipped out murdering scientist, alien life forms, and a cosmic being that may or may not be watching over the crew. Throw in Moss back on the ship trying to hold everything together and this is going to be one suspense filled, action packed ride...negative.
As the film progresses, and more of the crew is dispatched, I came to the conclusion that three or four plotlines were fighting for my attention. None were succeeding in holding it. You could make a film that stands alone on any of the robot/psycho/alien villains, yet when thrown together they did not yield exciting chaos but inattention to each individual plot thread.
The cast is very capable, pulling off lots of scientific jargon and rewiring of impossibly damaged equipment without a hitch, but so much more is left up in the air, and some characters acknowledge that! How do the life forms make oxygen? Don't know. How is an indestructible robot so easily dispatched? Don't know. How is Kilmer able to survive huge explosions that seem on the same scale as Nevada desert nuclear plumes of the 1950's? Don't know. Why is Terence Stamp in this picture? Don't know. Stamp's little quiet philosophical conversations amount to absolutely nothing, as God does not swoop in at any point here to save the boys (at least in an obvious way). Throw in the dull romance between Moss and Kilmer, and you have some definite script problems.
While the special effects are lovely and a wonder to look at, they are set to a Graeme Revell musical score that is equally schizophrenic. At some points, I heard the old theme to "Star Trek," at other points, a tabernacle choir takes us through the action. The film makers could not make up their minds, and neither could Revell.
In the end, "Red Planet," like its competitor "Mission to Mars," is pretty to look at and shows technical triumph. The film makers seemed to get the future right, but they forgot to serve the base human emotions of excitement at the proceedings and caring for the characters. I do not recommend this angry "Red Planet."
This is rated (PG13) for physical violence, some gore, profanity, brief female nudity, and some sexual references.
3.0 out of 5 stars Better than you'd expect,
Kindle Customer "Pimmy" (LINDENHURST, NY, United States) - See all my reviews
Red Planet could have been much more; it had a great cast. It's a cool movie, but don't expect any aliens. Instead, you have a very cool looking robot that goes on a rampage and starts hunting down the men stranded on Mars.
When I say it could have been much more, for instance Val Kilmer and Carrie Anne Moss have great chemistry, but they don't have enough scenes together to really make something out of it. Plus, everyone seems too calm, considering they're being hunted by a badass robot; they seem more concerned about what their next conversation should be. There's too much talking and not enough action.
Still though, it is a lot better than Mission To Mars, which could be pretty painful to sit through at times. Val Kilmer's wit is a lot better than listening to Gary Sinise grieving over his dead wife throughout the whole movie. Plus it doesn't have the corny B-Movie ending that Mission To Mars has either. Red Planet isn't really anything special but I wouldn't call it bad either because it's not.
3.0 out of 5 stars The most unbelievable science fiction film of our time!,
Lawrance Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
Everybody knows to ask me questions about Science when we are playing Trivial Pursuit. After all, I never even took biology, let alone chemistry or physics, in high school. But even little old ignorant me knows that there are some major mistakes that needed to be corrupted in "Red Planet," a film which will make thousands of viewers stop laughing at 1950's science fiction movies about traveling to distant planets. No, I will not start ticking them off for you, simply because "Red Planet" is one of those incredibly bad movies that you can still have fun watching, although it is certainly not the "Plan 9 From Outer Space" for the 2001 generation.
Of course, you do not need to know anything about hard science to find the flaws in this film. As soon as you find that Carrie-Anne Moss is the space babe in charge of the mission and Val Kilmer is the guy she really does not want to have along, the possibilities of how bad things can get become painfully apparent. Then there is the cute little navigation robot that goes big time bad just to make things even worse and add some splatter flick elements to the mix. Add to this the fact that the screenwriters never met a coincidence they did not like and you have to believe that Terrence Stamp's character made up that bit about the ruptured spleen just to get out of this film as quick as possible.
Now, I am open to the possibility that there are those who will actually like this film as a piece of "serious" science fiction, and I mean besides the producers of this film. My suggestion would be to go for the obvious double-feature, screening "Red Planet" and "Mission to Mars" back-to-back and decide for yourself which is the more fantastic (i.e., unbelievable) science fiction film. Not since "Babe" and "Gordy" came out at the same time have we been given the chance to split the film viewing audience into such clearly divided sides. Remember to make lots of popcorn so you have something to do other than yell "Oh, give me a break!" at the screen over and over again.

DURHAM, N.C. - USA Baseball released its 60-man preseason Golden Spikes Award watch list on Friday, launching the organization's journey to naming the top amateur baseball player in the country on July 17. Sponsored by Major League Baseball, the Golden Spikes Award will be presented in 2014 for the 37th time. St. Edward's ace BRANNON EASTERLING is one of those players on the watch list.
Easterling had an outstanding 2013 campaign, going a national-best 14-3 with a 2.10 ERA. He led the country in complete games (14) and innings pitched (132.2), while helping lead his team to the NCAA DII World Series for the first time in school history. He was named to two different all-America teams and was also named the Josh Willingham National Most Valuable Player by College Baseball Lineup. Easterling has excellent numbers early on in the 2014 season with three complete games and an 0.86 ERA, but has been a hard-luck loser, compiling a 1-2 record. Opposing batters are only hitting .158 off of him.
"To be named to the Golden Spikes Award Watch List is a tremendous honor," head coach Rob Penders said. "There are only 60 players in all of amateur baseball nominated for this award. Brannon is very deserving of this nomination. He is the best competitor I have ever coached and an outstanding teammate. If you look at previous winners of this award, you will see players that have compiled incredible accomplishments in the game of baseball. Brannon is capable of these achievements as well and someone that is a great representative of St. Edward's University."
The watch list features 60 of the nation's top amateur players, and will be a "rolling" list until May 27 -- when the Golden Spikes Award semifinalists are announced -- ensuring that athletes can play themselves into consideration for the award throughout the collegiate and high school seasons.
Easterling is one of only three Division II players on the list.
Former standout for Coach Chase McMann at A&M Consolidated.

Hello, devs.
I just want to make a request for more information on all the champions and stolen powers in this game.
At the moment, when you're in the client, you can see champion skills and how they scale, but you can't see champion base stats or how much they gain per level. You also cannot see the cooldowns of Stolen Powers or how much they scale, either. It's generally vague information, e.g. "Atomic Poison Ivy's X-Ray Vision has a reduced cooldown."
It would be fantastic if you could add all this absent information to the client or at least to the IC website. For instance, Healing Wave states that it restores 50 health in its description. But what about when you're at a higher level; how does it scale? You could put "restores 50 + 20/lvl health" or "Atomic Poison Ivy's X-Ray Vision has a reduced cooldown of 120s". Those were just guess numbers, but hopefully I made sense.
I would really appreciate easy access to this information.
Additionally, it would be really nice to have a tab in the Profile section that lists all of the items and their stats/prices, both modded and unmodded. Some places like Dawnbase have this information already, but an in-client option with the ability to sort/filter by stat type, price, etc, would be great.

Video:How to Make Pork Potstickerswith Jen D'Amore
Want to learn how to make delicious pork potstickers at home? Here, see step-by-step instructions for how to make pork potstickers as easily as possible.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make Pork Potstickers
Hi, I'm Jen D'Amore for About.com, and this video is all about how to make pork potstickers, using Rhonda Parkinson's recipe from About.com's Chinese food site.
Ingredients for Pork Potstickers
You'll need:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup boiling water
- 8 ounces celery cabbage (Napa cabbage)
- 3 tsp salt, divided
- 1 pound lean ground pork
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, with tops
- 1 Tbsp white wine
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Dash white pepper
Dipping Sauce for Pork Potstickers
You'll need:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions for Making Pork Potstickers
Cut the cabbage into thin strips. Mix with 2 teaspoons of salt and set it aside for 5 minutes. Then squeeze out the excess moisture. To make the filling, mix the celery, the cabbage, the pork, green onions, wine, cornstarch, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and the white pepper, and set aside.
Instructions for Making Pork Potsticker Dough
To make the dough, pour the boiling water over the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface about 5 minutes, or until smooth. Then, divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 12 inch long roll. Then cut each roll into 1/2-inch slices. Roll each slice of dough into a 3-inch circle, lift up the edges of the circle and pinch 5 pleats up to create a pouch to encase the mixture. Place some of the mixture in the center, then pinch the top together. Repeat with the remaining slices of dough and filling.
Cooking the Pork Potstickers
Heat a wok or skillet until very hot. Add 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil, tilting the wok to coat the sides. Or, if using a nonstick skillet, add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil. Place 12 dumplings in a single layer in the wok and fry 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Add 1/2 cup water, then cover and cook for 6 or 7 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Finally, to make the dipping sauce, add 1 teaspoon of oil to the soy sauce and serve with the dumplings.
