BCPO ups alert vs rob gang-A A +A
Thursday, April 3, 2014
THE Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) is intensifying its intelligence monitoring operations after three identified members of the Ozamiz robbery group were sighted in the city.
Hotels, pension houses and even apartments are being monitored by the police as these places could be the possible hideouts of the gang members.
Senior Superintendent Larry Decena, officer-in-charge of Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO), said Wednesday they already have the names of the three members of the group.
He said they received information that members of both the Ozamiz and "martilyo" (hammer) groups are in Bacolod City and Negros Occidental.
"This is one of our target hardening measures because Bacolod City is now celebrating the Panaad Festival and maybe they will take the opportunity to operate because of the celebration," Decena said.
The BCPO chief said they have validated information, but they are facing difficulty in locating the robbery group's hideout.
The information is not based only on the intelligence monitoring of BCPO, but also of the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office (Noppo) and Negros Oriental police units, including the Dumaguete City Police Office, he said.
The three members of the Ozamiz robbery group were identified in Dumaguete City after they were also sighted earlier in the area.
All the police units in the city are now focused on monitoring the presence of the suspects, Decena said.
He said they cannot discount the possibility that the robbery group will also strike in Bacolod City, adding that they have already alerted the different security agencies in malls, jewelry stores, and banks.
"Despite our busy schedules, we cannot afford to leave behind other responsibilities unattended," Decena said.
Decena also asked the public to be vigilant and to report to the police the presence of suspicious looking persons.

Barratts Developments seek apprentices
Posted: March 29, 2014|
Comments (0)
Barratts Developments has launched a recruitment appeal for 13 apprentices and trainees.
The appeal, which is planning to recruit the new workers in the next six months, was kicked off with an event at the Freeman's Meadow development, where 50 students from schools in Leicester were invited to learn about joinery and carpentry and tried bricklaying on a special training wall.
The students also met current apprentices, site managers, directors and employees who work in other areas of home building.

Civilians in Mali are among dozens tortured, killed and disappeared, including while in detention, since the launch of the French army's intervention.
The Malian army has committed serious human rights breaches plus violations of international humanitarian law, say human rights groups.
The escalating fighting and displacement of people in Mali and neighbouring countries is exacerbating the Sahel's chronic food crisis, says Christian Aid.
All parties to the armed conflict in Mali must ensure civilians are protected, Amnesty International has urged as attacks by French forces continue.
Aid agency World Vision is warning of severe humanitarian consequences if steps are not taken to guarantee the security of children in war-torn Mali.
Talk of military intervention in Mali must face the reality of the most vulnerable groups, who risk getting caught in the crossfire, warns World Vision.
The UN's World Heritage Committee has condemned the destruction of mausoleums sacred to the Sufi strain of Islam in the African nation of Mali.
Ten leading aid agencies have called for a "surge" in the humanitarian effort to help ten million people at risk of acute hunger across the Sahel region of west and central Africa.
An NGO in Mali has won the International Service Human Rights Award for the Defence of Human Rights of People Living with HIV/AIDS. The awards highlight the role development workers play in defending the human rights of vulnerable people.
This Mother's Day, the Methodist Relief and Development Fund (MRDF) is highlighting the fact that over one thousand women worldwide die in childbirth every day.

On December 20th, we will release Toki Tori 2 on the Wii U eShop!
We have been a bit quiet lately, but that doesn't mean we haven't been working our collective behinds off. We had hoped to be able to hit the Wii U launch, but we're simply not there yet, so we're taking our time to make sure the game lives up to our standards.
December 20th is the date we've chosen to release the game, meaning our Nintendo fans will be able to play the game during their Christmas holiday! To celebrate we've released new screenshots, which you can find below.
Much can change in the course of a year. The game's coming out on Wii U first, but when we started developing Toki Tori 2, we initially announced it for Steam. This switch was never officially addressed, and we want to give you a bit of insight into how this came to be.
Since we're a relatively small indie studio, a lot is riding on the success of Toki Tori 2 for us. We have spent well over a year with everyone at Two Tribes on this single project, which means Toki Tori 2 will be the only source of income for a while to come. When Nintendo announced their plans for the Wii U, we decided early on that the game needed to be on that platform, but it wasn't until we noticed that our completion date and the Wii U launch date aligned that we made the call.
Making something for a console launch has several benefits from a development and business standpoint. You don't have to support a wide range of configurations as you would need to on Steam, meaning we can release earlier after we finish the game. And business-wise, it makes a lot of sense to be available at or around launch, since players are very eager for new things to play on their new devices.
We'll take a much deserved short break after the Wii U release and work full force on the Steam version after that. We hope our Steam fans, that have helped us out immensely by testing the development builds will stick with us as we make a great PC and Mac version after our short break.
Closing off, we've got the new logo. What do you think?
Are these Wii U screenshots 0.o
And congrats for nearly releasing the game!
These are taken from my PC actually, but the Wii U version uses the same assets and slightly better rendering for the color and blending effects.
Nice job on those graphics, it looks superb!
En nu maar hopen dat die kip gouden eieren gaat leggen ;)
the screenshots looks awesome! :o
ps: i really prefer the old logo :(
Well, okay, I can wait a bit longer for a Steam version, as long as we get a bonus to compensate. At least give us a silly in-game hat.
Oh, and the new logo is absolutely horrible. Seriously, I think you should put it up for a vote among Beta users.
I'm not keen on the new logo, either... It's probably more suitable to the looks of the game, but it also makes it look like a kids game (even more than TT1 O_o), and that may no help bringing the game to a larger audience. I don't want to think it has been dumbified for the WiiU kids, it's not what I'd expect from a TwoTribes game! ;)
The screenies look great though... Looking forward to the Steam release!
Good news, and some very impressive screenshots. :)
I do agree with G.Lecter about the logo though.. I also think it looks a bit for little kids, and I prefer the logo on the wooden sign.
I like the new logo. Good luck on Wii U :)
Hi Ian. That is odd, can you email me directly? It's my name @twotribes.com. Thanks!
Looking forward to picking this up for my Wii-U! So glad to see indie developers on this platform, and happy to hear it's easy for them to get into the eShop. I know what I'll be doing while eating my cookies and milk this Christmas eve. ;)
Where is it?

Jazelle-related code.
Firstly; congratulation to all of you at Sun. Open sourcing Java under GPL is a very important and bold move. Interesting time ahead.
Secondly; While browsing through the PhoneME Feature release I realized that the Jazelle-related code (src/vm/cpu/arm/jazelle), has been removed. Previously, ARM has refused to disclose any information about the Jazelle architecture/instruction set referring to some patent issue with Sun as the reason. With the open sourcing of Java I would have assmued this claim to be void. Can we expect this issue to be resolved between Sun and ARM so that the relevant code can be released?
Thanks! Yes, we expect to have some interesting times.
Regarding the Jazelle-related code, we consider this code to be "encumbered" and therefore we are unable to release it into open source. I don't know the exact nature of the encumbrances, such as whether they are related to patents or something else. Unfortunately, we don't have any estimate of when we might be able to release any of the Jazelle-related code.
For more information about encumbrances, please see the appropriate section in the Java Technology Open Source FAQ:
OK. Hope that you are able to sort out this issue with ARM. I'm not into the details but all that I know is that each time I have been confronting ARM with Jazelle they have been pointing at Sun as the direct reason for the non-disclosure.

Riders went into battle for the first time today in the Dakar Rally after yesterday's faux start to the event, and it was Portugal's Ruben Faria striking first and taking the opening stage victory of this year's event, leading home the 170-strong motorcycle field.
Faria and his KTM finished 29 seconds ahead of defending race champion and Red Bull KTM teammate Cyril Despres with Marc Coma, on another KTM, in third - a minute and 15 seconds off Faria's pace.
A fourth KTM ridden by Spaniard Juan Pedrero Garcia ended today's stage in fourth as the Austrian manufacturer dominated the first day of action. Then came the first non-KTM, the BMW ridden by Paulo Goncalves, Faria's Portuguese countryman.
The first of the Americans crossed the line in sixth place today with Jonah Street off to a strong start in his fifth Dakar. Street finished seventh overall in last year's race on a KTM, but has switched to a YZF450-based bike for this year's edition.
Quinn Cody ended the day of his first Dakar Rally in 15th place on his Honda, the 34-year-old three-time winner of the Baja 1000 riding with support from Honda Europe.
"I managed to keep a good tempo from the beginning to the end," Faria said on the Dakar website after the fourth stage win of his career. "This special stage looked very much like what I am used to seeing in Portugal. I am glad to know that in the end it paid out and I got the day's best clock. I did better today than many great riders with different driving styles. It's already a good point of reference. I am also very happy to see that my teammate Cyril Despres also made excellent time."
Over a million people watched yesterday's send off in Buenos Aires, Argentina, according to event promoters, with today's stage taking riders from Victoria to Cordoba.

Last month, we discussed results from a survey of how our instructors are teaching Python. We now have a summary of the feedback we've received in our bi-weekly debriefing meetings. The recurring themes are:
A greater choice of exercises and multiple choice questions would allow instructors to select domain specific examples and cater to varying levels of learner.
Some instructors added an explanation of the Jupyter notebook or Spyder IDE environments.
Some instructors added an explanation of basic Python datatypes before presenting the lessons.
Comments that there is too much material to fit into a workshop and that some sections seem rushed.
Request for a better explanation of the advantages of the Anaconda Distribution at the start of workshops and resources for post workshop learning.
Comments on presenters style were positive for funny and entertaining examples and negative for highly mathematical examples.
I spent the better part of the last three weeks working on an NSF-IOS Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant (DDIG) proposal.

At least part of the answer is "here".

This article originally appeared in The Research Bazaar.
Thorough data analysis is only one part of good research. Equally important is communicating the outcome well and accessibly. And visible research is accessible research.
Our main motivations for publishing our research results are:
making them openly accessible to the public,
informing fellow researchers about new outcomes that will help them in their research, and
strengthening our professional profiles.
We are very pleased to announce that Jonah Duckles has accepted the position of Executive Director of the Software Carpentry Foundation, and will start on Monday, October 5, 2015. Jonah was most recently the Director of Informatics and Innovation at the University of Oklahoma where he partnered with researchers to improve their computational workflows while developing maker spaces for the campus.

Eureka! Inventing
The painless way to fill your pipeline with at least 3 Protectable Inventions.
Protectable: a) Patentable, b) Licensable on economically viable terms, c) Trade secret or tactical protection.
Eureka! Inventing is the flagship service of the Eureka! Ranch and has been for 25+ years.
It's what we're best known for - big, bold, brave ideas grounded in real technology.
It's a 12 week process that takes you from dreams and goals to a Meaningfully Unique Innovation that is highly protectable.
First Two Weeks:
Deep Immersion into your Very Important Problem or Opportunity Area
The process starts with a series of in-person conversations to define the project objective. We confront reality on what level of innovation is requested, strategic areas that are not requested and any tactical or executional constraints. Next, we do a deep dive of mining to learn more about the possibilities within the challenge. This is customized for each project but often involves touring manufacturing facility, meeting with customers, key departments and senior leadership. It also involves mining in areas outside your organization including technologies available, academic research in the area, a review of the competitive landscape and ways other industries and markets address similar challenges.
Week Four:
Round 1 Presentation - Right-set with Reactions to Preliminary Inventions
The Eureka! Inventing team will spend a half-day with you to present a collection of invention options that fit your objective in a Spark Deck. It's followed by a guided discussion on possibilities.
Week Eight:
Round 2 Presentation - With Refined Concepts & Risk Adjusted Sales Forecasts
The Eureka! Inventing team will visit with you for another half day. In this second round presentation you'll not only see new/improved invention options. You'll also review refined concepts and risk adjusted sales forecasts for each of the top innovations.
Week Twelve:
Final Round Presentation - with Quantitative and Qualitative Customer Research
The Eureka! Inventing Team will present the final round of invention options including results of both Truth Teller Quantitative & Interact Qualitative Customer Research. After this final meeting you will be in a position to do one or more of the following: a) file a patent on the invention, b) license a found technology (that has been initially vetted as commercially viable or c) prepare a process to protect trade secrets or tactical protection elements.
Note: It's not uncommon that after seeing the stimulus of the inventions, your thinking on your objective will expand to reflect new possibilities you weren't aware of. Because we do rounds of invention and reaction with you, we are able to adapt easily to ensure you get what you need.
5 out of 6 concepts we worked on with Eureka! achieved top quintile Bases scores - and on of the concepts set a new high for our company!
Speed was important to me -- we needed to bring new product ideas to our executives in a two-month time frame. The Eureka! process helped us conceptualize our ideas and test them with excellent, fast, quantitative results.
We received full-funding and senior management approval at our first presentation thanks to the work we did with Eureka!

Among those rooting for Josh Freeman when he makes his Vikings quarterback debut against the New York Giants on Monday night will be Jon Wefald.
"Josh Freeman is really a sweet young man, always smiling, so pleasant," Wefald said Saturday.
Wefald, who was born in Minneapolis, was president of Kansas State when Freeman played three seasons for the Wildcats before becoming the first-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2009.
It was Wefald, who is an astute sports fan, who was instrumental in turning around the Kansas State football program by hiring Bill Snyder as coach.
Wefald said he and Freeman became good friends.
"I saw him after every game for three years -- that's home and away -- and I also went to practices," Wefald said. "Josh was always generous, very polite and very respectful. He also had a nice sense of humor."
Wefald, 75, who retired as K-State president in 2009, was speaking from Manhattan, Kan., where he is working on a book, "The Turnaround Years."
"Josh had many friends here. All of the football players liked him; the coaches liked him," Wefald said. "He was never arrogant at all. I never, ever saw him say, 'Geez, I'm better than everybody else.' "
Wefald said Freeman, "in terms of quarterbacks, is kind of a freak because he's 6 foot 6, 250 pounds, and yet he can move. He can run. I hope the Vikings coaches say, 'If you see a lane, take off and run.'
"He is a drop-back quarterback, not an option quarterback. He's not someone who is going to look to run the ball.
Wefald follows Freeman, 25, closely.
"If he can get into rhythm with the Vikings, he could be there a long time," Wefald said. "His teammates will like him. Minnesota has the finest running back in the game in Adrian Peterson. And that fullback the Vikings have, Jerome Felton, is a terrific blocker, and I think he can do a nice job of blocking for Josh."
Wefald, who will be watching Freeman on TV on Monday night, said if he were coaching the Vikings, "I wouldn't necessarily start him against the Giants. He's only been (in Minnesota) for a week and a half. Putting him in there so fast, I don't know if that's such a good idea. But they've made that decision.
"I think (the Vikings) have to give him a chance. The Giants (0-6) haven't won yet and, of course, they're going to be out for a victory. I hope they don't judge Josh on just this one game. He's got the potential to be a really good NFL quarterback."
Wefald was Minnesota commissioner of agriculture under Gov. Wendy Anderson and has a lake home in northern Minnesota. He is among those who wonder why the Gophers haven't won a Big Ten football championship since 1967, when they shared the title with Purdue and Indiana.
"We (Kansas State) were a top-10 team almost every year from 1993 to 2003 with talent that's not really any different than Minnesota's talent," Wefald said. "But (coach Bill Snyder) finds a way to get his players to play.
"It's really amazing that a great university like Minnesota, one that in my mind compares with Michigan and Ohio State and has six national football championships, could struggle for so long. It's almost inexplicable.
"Here's a university that, in terms of academic quality, is one of the top 15, maybe even top 10, public universities in America. It has all of the attributes that Michigan and Ohio State have. And it's in the Twin Cities, which is one of the finest metropolitan areas in the world.
"The quality of life in Minnesota is second to none, and I don't know, but I think the last time I looked, there were about 20 Fortune Magazine top-500 companies. There is so much there to attract outstanding student-athletes."
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson on what he likes about "Monday Night Football": "The stage. Everyone's watching."
The Vikings' Jared Allen on playing on "Monday Night Football": "The whole country's watching. It can be really good or really bad, so you can be really exposed, shine, and everybody can see how good you are."
Minneapolis' Fred Bryan will be umpire for the Vikings-Giants game, which will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Top Twins pitching prospect Alex Meyer's fastball reached 99 mph during an Arizona Fall League game Friday night, and his breaking ball clocked in at 85 mph.
Rickey Foggie, the former University of Minnesota quarterback who was an exceptional runner under coach Lou Holtz, said he is "surprised at how good a runner" Gophers freshman QB Mitch Leidner is.
"He kind of reminds me of (ex-Gophers QB) MarQueis Gray," Foggie said.
Foggie, 46, is in his third season as football coach at Park Center High.
Gray, by the way, has yet to catch a pass as a rookie tight end for the Cleveland Browns, but he has one rush for 10 yards.
Former Gophers QB Tony Dungy, who coached QB Peyton Manning to a Super Bowl championship with the Indianapolis Colts and now is an analyst for NBC-TV's "Football Night in America," on Manning's return to Indianapolis with the Denver Broncos on Sunday to play the Colts: "I never thought I would see him in a different uniform and certainly wouldn't think he would be coming back playing maybe the best football of his career -- undefeated and putting up such gaudy numbers."
Michele Tafoya of NBC's "Sunday Night Football" will speak at the Dunkers' breakfast on Thursday.
Gophers freshman golfer and Costa Rica native Jose Mendez, whose scoring average of 73.24 this fall leads the team by a full stroke per round, turns 18 on Sunday.
Groundbreaking for a multimillion-dollar renovation of Superior National Golf Course at Lutsen will be Tuesday.
The Gophers' Maroon baseball team defeated the Gold three games to two in the program's annual Steak and Beans series at Siebert Field. Reward: Maroon players get to eat steaks while, across the table, Gold players eat beans.
That was former Humboldt High star tailback Leon Hushcha of the 1963 St. Paul City Conference football champions hosting his 60th art show of his paintings Friday evening at his studio in downtown Minneapolis.
The Gophers football team didn't know that its head coach, Jerry Kill, would attend the Northwestern game, which started at 11 a.m. Saturday, until an hour before game time.
Kill, who took last week off for treatment of his epilepsy, telephoned from the car he was being driven in to say he was 45 minutes from the stadium. That got the Gophers' staff scrambling, trying to find a way to get him through traffic to Evanston, Ill., find a place to park and get him to the press box.
Kill was dropped off at the stadium entrance, then security escorted him to the press box in time for the opening kickoff and his team's 20-17 victory.
Kill briefly addressed the team at halftime, telling them they were better than they think they are and to go out in the second half and win a game and have fun.
Vikings pass rusher Jared Allen on playing defense: "If you don't allow (opponents) to score points, you can never lose, right? So that's my mentality, that's our philosophy, and I've just been preaching to these guys that, hey, we have an opportunity to do something special, to turn this thing (1-4 start) around.
"I mean, what do we got to lose?"
The Twins, who are desperate for pitching, pick fifth in next June's major league baseball draft. The top three pitching prospects for the draft are Carlos Rodon of North Carolina State, Jeff Hoffman of East Carolina and Texas high schooler Tyler Kolek.
Among the reasons the Twins aren't expected to try to re-sign Justin Morneau is that they need to keep first base available for Joe Mauer, who doesn't need another concussion as a catcher.
Oops: NBC Sports NHL analyst Pierre McGuire, during last week's New York Rangers-Washington Capitals game, identified former Cretin-Derham Hall defenseman Ryan McDonagh as having played high school hockey at Hill-Murray.
Coach Tom Coughlin, whose Giants are 0-6 and host the Vikings on Monday night, on why he hasn't considered replacing QB Eli Manning, who has thrown 15 interceptions: "We're going to win again with Eli."

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- A bill to prevent Nebraska governors from restricting gun sales in a state emergency has been sent to a final vote.
The bill by Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial won second-round approval on Wednesday. A final vote is required before it goes to Gov. Dave Heineman.
Current Nebraska law allows governors to restrict the sale, distribution and transportation of guns once a state emergency is declared.
Christensen has worked on the bill with the National Rifle Association, which has passed similar "emergency powers" laws in 34 other states. Bills are pending in Iowa, Massachusetts, Colorado and Washington.
Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha has said the measure is feel-good legislation that doesn't help or hurt anyone.
The bill is LB390.

It's another big win for Singaporean fashion entrepreneurs! I first discovered Modajar, a luxury boutique here in Singapore recently and have been stalking their online shop ever since, especially since they house some really cool cult brands that you can't find elsewhere in Singapore. Origami Jewellery (my favorite!), House of Holland and Patrizia Pepe are some of the brands you'll find at the store.
While Modajar is a physical shop (isn't it gorgeous?!) – you know me, I'm all about online shopping! Their online website is easy to use and everything is photographed perfectly – my items arrived exactly how they were presented online. (They also do international shipping by the way). As you can see – I got a cool brick print tee from One.T.Shirt, a go-with-everything basic top from Patricia Peze; and my favorite, an Origami Jewellery necklace. I was deciding between the elephant and the dinosaur (love them both), but chose the dinosaur as they were my first loves! At 4 years old I saw Jurassic park and I have loved dinos ever since. Isn't he beautiful? I named him Larry. ;)
Modajar launched earlier this year in July, with specially handpicked and sourced straight from the designers, resulting in a truly bold yet sophisticated shop. Oh, and before you think Modajar is just for women, don't worry men, there are plenty of choices for you too. Modajar is set to cater to the fashion-forward man and women who loves uniqueness and a bit of "out there" style. I can only vouch for their online shop so far but as I mentioned, I enjoyed my experience shopping with Modajar. Other than the user friendly site, the delivery was pretty quick and in a sturdy, pretty Modajar box. I also have to say that I've been in touch with the people at Modajar and they are simply the friendliest, most helpful staff (shoutout to Shanti).
So please check out Modajar – whether in their shop (Westgate, 3 Gateway Drive #01-43) or online here. Also, they are currently doing a Modajar customer subscription drive (until Dec 17th, you have a week!) where 2 lucky subscribers will win an exclusive House of Holland patent leather tortoiseshell cap.

Never Lose Your Flame
take nothing for granted
by, 4-10-14 at 9:00:46 PM (229 Views)
Hey. I'm sure that not many of you remember me, like maybe three or four-ish do but if any of those people may remember my very old blog posts, I would talk about how my mom had a brain tumor. I once talked about how my mom had a seizure on the day of my sixth grade graduation. Anyways, she's had a cancerous tumor in her head for about a year and a half now, which is much longer than people with cancer usually live with. Although, yesterday, I found out that my mom has about 6-8 weeks left to live.
Unfortunately the most powerful type of chemotherapy isn't working, and the tumor is too big for them to remove so it will continue to grow. It's in a part of her brain that if they were to remove it, she wouldn't be able to walk, or talk, or even eat so it would actually be worse than dying.
For the past year, I've not worried about her ever dying, mostly because before I didn't like to think like that. Until now I was not concerned about that, but I finally had to face the truth. It hit me really hard at first, and my parents asked me if I was scared. I said no, just the thing is that I don't want my mom to be gone. I want her to be proud of me when I accomplish things, I wanted her to see me graduate, I wanted her to be there when I get married and I wanted her to be a grandmother to my children. My mom was supposed to live so much longer, she's only 55 and she doesn't deserve to go.
The whole point of this blog post is to vent about my situation, as well as make a point that no one should ever take anything for granted. We may expect food, fresh air, shelter etc. but many people do not have those things. Some people don't have parents, a mom or dad. so please, just go and tell your parents how much you love and appreciate them, say thanks for everything, thanks for taking care of you when you're sick and thanks for picking you up when you're at rock bottom because they won't be there one day.

If there were any doubts that the next generation of gaming has arrived, they can finally be put to rest with the release of Fight Night Round 3 for the Xbox 360. EA Sports' newest entry to their boxing franchise has amazing graphics, a small amount of upgrades, and a decent amount of fun.
It was clear when the Fight Night demo was released a couple months ago that next-gen graphics had finally arrived. And the full version of the game only confirms that. Skin textures sport blemishes and freckles, particles of dust float in the sunlight, and sweat flies off whoever's face is on the receiving end of a punch.
EA Sports made the right move in removing the HUD during the fights. You can choose to use it if you want, but you really won't have to. The 360's graphics are so good, that you'll be able to tell exactly what shape your boxer is in, and how close he is to getting dropped to the canvas. It really adds to the realism of the game.
Of course, one of the most publicized graphical elements of Fight Night was the knockout replays, and for good reason. You're pretty much guaranteed to wince every time you see your boxer's face ripple as your opponent's fist mashes into the side of his face. You'll also be morbidly pleased to see how beat up you and your opponent have gotten in between rounds, while you try to heal them as best as you can.
Also, it's important to note how great the sound effects are. From your boxer's heavy breathing to your lips splitting and neck cracking, Fight Night Round 3 really immerses you with its sound design. The commentator does a good job of sort of updating you on your condition, but can get slightly annoying after a while.
The venues are incredibly detailed, especially the Windy City gym, which really captures the look of a gritty downtown boxing arena. The lighting in each location is well done too, and really helps to make you feel a part of the environment.
If you've never played a Fight Night game, it's important to keep one thing to keep in mind before starting up Round 3: it's not a fighting game. Not in the traditional sense anyway. You should consider it a boxing sim instead.
Round 3 retains a lot of the same gameplay that made Round 2 so popular. Total punch control has remained, where you can control all of your punches by simply using the right stick. If you're not familiar with this type of control, it can take a little getting used to. There are also six different kinds of control setup, so you should be able to find the configuration that best suits you.
The team at EA Chicago improved upon the haymaker technique in Round 3. By winding the stick back in varying degrees, you can inflict a normal haymaker, a flash KO (where you immediately prime your opponent for a knock down), and a stun punch, which initiates a mini-game from your opponent's perspective, as you furiously try to knock him down. Of course, parrying or dodging any of these larger attacks means an immediate opportunity to counter-attack and cause some major damage. There's no doubt that the game is full of strategy when it comes to the fighting mechanics.
But in order to implement that strategy, it seems as though the game has slowed down since Round 2. If there's one word to describe the experience of playing Round 3, it's "inconsistent". There are times when you land a punch and it barely looks like you've touched your opponent. But there are other times when you hit him so hard you think you've just knocked his jaw off.
There is a very impressive create-a-fighter mode, but the career mode seems to have been dumbed down a bit. Rankings have been all but erased. Also, the mode can get a little repetitive as all your opponents start to blend into one.
In addition, and this could be the curse of attempting to create a "realistic" boxing game, sometimes you'll find yourself sitting through a 25 minute long bout. No matter how great the graphics are, this can get a little tedious. Those first five to ten minutes are a blast, but as the match continues, the boxers get more and more tired, which essentially means they get slower. While this fatigue adds to the realism, it kind of takes the fun out of the overall experience.
The quality of the gameplay in Fight Night is more subjective than any other game in recent memory. A room full of inexperienced gamers can play this game for hours, yelling and cheering at every knockdown close-up. But experienced gamers can sit frustrated for 25 minutes, trying to knock each other down just once. The game's graphics will go a long way to draw people in, regardless of whether they're a boxing fan or not. But the oftentimes sluggish fighting might turn people off.
The enjoyment you receive from Fight Night Round 3 may be based on how much of a boxing fan you are. Ironically, if you know nothing about the sport, you'll probably enjoy it more than if you do. And those who feel starved for a new 360 game probably won't regret picking it up, as it is one of the best looking titles for the system. As long as you know that the game is not your typical fast-paced fighter, you should be more than content.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- How well do you know your water?
A new study says 63% of District residents either prefer D.C.'s tap water over bottled water, or couldn't tell the difference. D.C.
Water held taste tests in each of the city's eight wards over the summer. The exact breakdown of the results is that 264 people preferred tap water, 207 preferred bottled, and 86 couldn't tell the difference.
If residents still aren't sure about their tap water, D.C. Water says it offers free quality testing.

When reassessing Human Target's ratings against only FOX's spring ratings, Bill was moved to change its status from "likely to be canceled" to merely being "in danger of being canceled."
But after last night's performance with a repeat of Lie to Me (albeit against repeats on CBS) pulling a 1.7 rating vs. Human Target's 1.9 for an original episode in its season finale, I'm wondering if he shouldn't move it right back to likely to be canceled.
Personally, I was a little surprised that Human Target didn't fare better than it did. Even with all the weird scheduling at the launch. But when it comes to renewals, I cast any personal surprise aside. The ratings are the ratings.
Speaking of "why didn't it fare better," the "Masked Scheduler" (who really is a scheduling executive at Fox) wrote a very insightful piece a couple of weeks ago about why hit shows do as well as they do. He suggests it's a question a lot of Hollywood doesn't usually take time to ask while moving to copy hit shows as quickly as possible.
In that post, he pleads guilty to the 2nd season renewals of Dollhouse and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but that was in a discussion of sci fi shows launched in the wake of Lost. If there's any good news for Human Target fans it's that at least it can't be lumped in with that group.

Character Options AppGear to bring AR gaming to Doctor Who
Character Options, the company behind many licensed toys including the Doctor Who and Wembley Stadium Character Building brick sets, Angry Birds catapult and Android plush, is to bring WowWee's AppGear to the UK, a new range of augmented reality games for Android, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
The first wave will be original properties, but once established, the firm plans to release a series of AppGear titles using its Doctor Who license. That means you will eventually be able to battle Daleks in the park or the Weeping Angels in the confines of your own bedroom.
These will be playable after the user buys the Doctor Who blaster, which works much like the AppBlaster from AppToyz we featured last year. An iPhone, iPod touch or Android device slots into the top of the plastic accessory and the game uses the real world (as seen through the device's camera) as a backdrop to the action.
AppGear isn't launching with this specific range, however. The first few titles will come in different guises, each offering an AR games experience, but with different included toys and triggers.
The first game, for example, is Foam Fighters, which comes with foam aeroplanes which stick to the back of an iDevice or Android handset. The player can then see it on the screen while they wend and shoot their way through obstacles and waves of enemies.
Alien Jailbreak includes an AR trigger-spattered block and alien figures. Zombie Burbz comes with Zombie figures that can interact with the screen of an iPad or Android tablet. Elite CommandAR uses a blaster like gun in a similar way to the prospective Doctor Who apps. We're not entirely sure what Mysterious Raygun will offer (apart from mystery, clearly). And Akodomon is a virtual pet simulation game, coming with, what it seems, plastic pompoms.
The range is expected to start (with Foam Fighters) in spring this year, with further launches throughout. Character Options (in association with Paper Jam manufacturer WowWee) is expecting big things with AppGear: "We're expecting big things," a spokesperson told Pocket-lint at Toy Fair 2012 in London.

After recent high-profile data breaches at several retailers, Congress is reacting with a revived push to pass laws addressing data breach investigation and notification. Industry might like to see a national standard replace a patchwork of state laws, but there is less agreement about how to define personally identifiable information and how much new regulatory authority to create.
Lawmakers have introduced several bills in the first weeks of 2014, including a fifth go-around for Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy's Personal Data Privacy and Security Act and the Data Security and Breach Notification Act from Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.). Both look to the Federal Trade Commission to set standards that would supersede an assortment of state laws.
Those state-to-state variations make responding to data breaches and notifying victims more complicated than a single federal law would, according to congressional sources.
"States take very different approaches to the rules for when a company has been breached," said Graham Dufault, counsel in the office of Rep. Lee Terry (R-Neb.), at the TechVoice DC Fly-In on Feb. 11. "From the very beginning of the conversation, [questions arise about] the definition of personal information. It matters because the only time you're going to notify anyone is if their personally identifiable information was accessed. Just from that point, you have a huge amount of disagreement."
The discrepancies further complicate an already complex process for investigating public or private data breaches, including examining networks to determine where breaches occurred, what information was accessed and who needs to be notified. Currently, there is not much in the way of a standard for that activity and, perhaps more importantly, no timeline for when the work needs to be completed.
"We need to identify a reporting time frame," said Kim Peretti, a partner in Alston and Bird's White Collar Crime Group and a former senior litigator in the Justice Department's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section. "There is always a push for a short time frame to notify, but those of us in the incident response community know that's not always possible. Different complex breaches and complex malware take time to investigate, and there's complex infrastructure on top of that. There's a patchwork of data breach notification statutes, and they're sufficiently different and nuanced. There is a general sense of how most of them work, but they all need to be reviewed carefully in the event of a breach to make sure you're meeting all the requirements."
Some of the legislative sticking points center on FTC authorities, including whether they go far enough and what agencies and companies are under their jurisdiction.
"I think the opportunity is to standardize," Dufault said. "In the last hearing, the consensus seemed to be that it would be nice if there was one standard, one set of requirements. There was disagreement on whether or not we need a federal data security law, which is a little different. Out of the folks who want the data security standard, some are perfectly fine with the way the FTC goes after companies with its unfair business practices authority or whether there needs to be more authority, including a description of activities under the guidance."
Experts at Washington law firm Wiley Rein predict that the FTC's precedent of bringing more than 50 enforcement actions against businesses for data breaches and the recently released federal cybersecurity framework will have an impact on any forthcoming legal activities.
"Whatever happens with legislation or regulation, companies and regulators may look to the framework to inform case-by-case enforcement," Wiley Rein executives wrote in an article published on Feb. 13. "The implementation of the framework -- depending on how it is deployed -- could influence how courts, legislators and regulators evaluate cybersecurity practices going forward."

PH loses Fonacier-A A +A
Thursday, July 24, 2014
TALK 'N Text Tropang Texters gunner Larry Fonacier begged off from continuing his stint with the Gilas Pilipinas National squad, citing nagging injuries as reason.
Gilas head coach Chot Reyes said the 6'2" guard out of Ateneo de Manila Univeristy Blue Eagles has been playing through various foot and back injuries that has been bothering him for the past two years.
"It is with deep sadness that we have to accept Larry Fonacier's request to beg off from the Gilas pool for the meantime. Unknown to many, Larry has been playing through a variety of foot and back injuries that have bothered him the past two years; and it is only his great dedication that has prevented him from taking any time off. However, the rigors of playing almost non-stop in the PBA and national team for the past 3 years has taken its toll, leaving Larry with no recourse but to accede to his doctors orders for complete rest and rehabilitation," Reyes said in a press statement.
The known "Baby Face Assassin," was one of the vital cogs of Reyes during Gilas' silver medal finish in the Fiba Asia Men's Championship last year. That finish earned
the Philipppines a ticket to the Fiba World Championship in Spain this Aug. 30.
With Fonacier out of the pool, Reyes is left with only 16 players when they will leave today for a two-week training camp in Miami, USA.

Some of you may have read my trip report about my Pine Mountain trip. If so, you saw that I had learned a LOT the hard way on that trip. It got me curious though, what great lessons have others learned the hard way, preferably stuff that you didn't read about and just ignored, but things that you just didn't know about before hand?Anything?Tom
On one of my early backpacking trips I took a 45 degree WM Linelite into upper 20's weather. I was one cold dude.
Years ago when I first started getting into backpacking,I did the usual research on different gear and stuff....Except sleeping pads, I just assumed their only function was for comfort and I just didnt get how all those yuppies could stand carrying those bulkie/heavy pads around! I mean really, just find a soft spot to sleep on!Until I spent a spring night in Pico shelter in Vt.I just couldnt figure out why I was so cold...?
Saving weight by leaving the sleeping bag at home so we would be 'lean and mean' on our alpine assaults in the European Alps.Ofcourse sitting the night out in a down jacket and a not so breathable bivi sack made us so tired and weary that we failed on all our climbs.I learned that it is better to invest in a good night sleep. So i will take a lightweight down bag everywere I go.Also trying to save weight on food and taking really light stuff without calories is a sure way to be cold and miserable. So many mistakes and failures...how about ignoring the weather forecast.I now made a list of 'never leave without' items which i always should take with me.....Excellent post by the way.
Hike to the car not away from the car.
Years ago I took a Z-lite on a winter trip and thought I was going to die from the cold - the next year, I took 2 z-lites and still froze...lesson learned.oh yeah, 2 liters of water isn't enough for an 8 hour climb - I have pictures of me with the summit just out of reach...I ran out of water a few hours in and started to panic when the ascent was taking longer then anticipated.Bring toilet paper for your girlfriend...she's not into the "leaf" thingman,. I could go on and on.
Always try your food beforehand.I don't know how many times I've hiked all day, only to sit down at the end and find I can't choke my food down. Ive found a number of freezer bag meals that I really like but it always seems like right before a trip I think, "Man, this new recipe sounds ok and I have the stuff to make it here already." So I throw some ingredients into a bag and head out the door. Later on I find that I didn't season it right. I also find that no matter how I try to doctor up Ramen noodles I just can't eat them, on the trail or otherwise. I don't know why I keep trying... maybe I'm just hoping one day I'll find that perfect combination.Another thing I learned, always check to make sure you bring your spork. Nothing makes Ramen taste worse than eating it with chopsticks you had to whittle from a dead tree branch.Adam
I learned to diversify my food more on overnight trips. My last 2 day trip I carried less bulk but more choices of food. I never had trouble eating b/c I never got tired of the food I brought. When I got back to the car my food bag was almost completely empty so it worked like a charm. Driving 3+ hours to start a hike in the wee hours (i.e. just after midnight) of the morning never seems to work for me. I need sleep after a long work week or I won't make it the first mile. Making winter objectives more realistic. In the Whites 15+ miles is just not possible 99% of the time with the weather they get up there.
Easier said than done, of course, but...I had traveled for a few years before I started hiking. Much of the knowledge (travel light, the layering method, synthetics, etc.) crosses over seamlessly. But I found out that what's "light enough" for walking a mile between train station and hotel is completely different when hiking up steep inclines for hours! My "Big Four" (tent, bag, pad and pack) were all pretty light -- and at first I felt good about saving a couple of hundreds of dollars by not going ultra light.After two hikes, I swapped out almost everything. Thanks to REI's no-hassle returns and Ebay -- I was able to get most of my money back.The mantra now is "buy the lightest that will do the job". No fun being a mountain mule.
1. For every downhill, there's an uphill - but on average, the trail is level.2. Trails don't know how to do averages.3. Despite what "They" tell you, you don't need to carry two quarts of water when the next creek is only 2 miles away.4. Never climb up something before you've figured out how to climb down it.5. When your son tells you, "It's under control," it isn't.6. Raccoons can unzip pack pockets.7. When you're sure you know it all, you find out you don't.8. Don't let someone else talk your wife into taking her first backpacking trip with you. It will still be your fault.

- Don't drink a 5th of brandy and expect to wake up at 5 am the next day and do a 20 mile hike.- If you have a tough hike, bring candy/sweets to eat every hour or so. It's a good way to reinforce all of the hard work you are doing. Sometimes the natural intrinsic reinforcement of hiking is not as strong as the aversive elements of nature.- Before you smoke up, make sure the rangers aren't around. Not that this has happened or anything...- Don't let your ego get in the way of your physical well-being. That's about it. I'm only 23. I still have a lot of time to make stupid mistakes, and hopefully learn from them :-)
With the exception of 2-minute noodles (ramen etc):Don't include foods from Asian grocery stores in your meal plans, no matter how light they are, unless you try them at home beforehand.And, if you can't read Chinese/Japanese/Korean, then don't think you can rely on the pictures to work out how to prepare these foods. Beware of Asian foods that come in colourful packaging (especially pink). Beware of those that appear to have some connection with seafood - especially if they fail to resemble any known sea creature.

With the exception of 2-minute noodles (marcaroni and cheese etc):Don't include foods from American, European, and Australian grocery stores in your meal plans, no matter how light they are, unless you try them at home beforehand.And, if you can't read English (or even if you can), then don't think you can rely on the pictures to work out how to prepare these foods. Beware of American, European, or Australian foods that come in colorful packaging (especially yellow). Beware of those that appear to have some connection with meat - especially if they fail to resemble any known land animal.;-P
1) Don't trust 6.5" titanium peg stakes to hold your shelter down if the soil is soft and the wind is blowing strongly. Keep hiking until you find a more shelters place, or if that isn't possible find ways to keep the windward down using local materials.2) You can burn the under side of your nose when you are snowshoeing. Make sure you really protection your face from the sun.3) Carrying a backpack doesn't need to be painful after a few miles. [Took me 25 years to learn that one].4) If you don't change into your hiking clothing until you get to the trailhead don't leave them on the kitchen counter. Instead, put them in your backpack when you are doing the rest of your packing.5) If you use a hydration system, make sure to clip the hose up, or switch from the hosed to a normal cap when putting the pack down so you don't leak water everywhere when the bite value gets crushed open.6) As soon as there is even a hint of friction... use duct tape, second skin, moleskin, or something to prevent the blister. The irritation is not going to get better or go away.
Edited by verber on 10/26/2007 09:01:00 MDT.
Don't think of an ounce as weighing only an ounce, think of an ounce as a possible "tipping ounce" -- do you want something that could take you past the "tipping" point to where the total combined weight is just too much? When I started looking at my gear that way, I was able to whittle down my total gear weight much more.Put on mole skin before you start your hike, bring a large roll of mole skin to support frequent changes. Do not let your feet get blistered, I have followed this advice and never gotten blistered in my decade plus of hiking.Use two hiking poles. From the beginning I used one pole until this year when I went to two and what a world of difference it made. It gives you "four legs" when crossing water streams, and enables you to get use your arms to reduce the stress on your legs as you go up and down hills.

When making a 16 hour car-to-canoe-to-summit-to-canoe-to-car push remember that there is only so much daylight in the day and ALWAYS BRING A HEADLAMP! When you think you're getting good at what you do and you start joking around about how all the other people on the trail always seem so unprepared, assume that the next time you and your egotistical backpacking partners go on a hike, one of you is going to forget the water filter or the stove or the bear hanging rope or the... well you get the idea. ALWAYS USE A PACKING LIST!!! A wool blanket and no sleeping pad is not enough warmth for sleeping at 6,500 feet - even if it is August. ALWAYS BRING THE TEN ESSENTIALS!!!
And please remind me of the ten essentials. Thanks (is it a BPL document or something -- link?)
The Ten Essentials
Edited by Bohican on 10/26/2007 13:20:52 MDT.
Simply put (but thanks, Ted for the link): 1. Map 2. Compass (optionally supplemented with a GPS receiver) 3. Sunglasses and sunscreen 4. Extra food and water 5. Extra clothes 6. Headlamp/flashlight 7. First aid kit 8. Fire starter 9. Matches 10. Knife
1. Don't let a 10-year old plan your food. He brought cans of Franco-American spaghetti in cheese sauce and then complained it tasted like worms in sauce. No one could eat it after that. The only other food was braunschweiger on white bread with no mustard or mayonnaise...inedible. 2. Don't let your hippi-dippi friend plan the food. He brought organic wheat-tex (soy-based meat substitute) stew that tasted like cardboard.3. Don't forget salt. Three sweaty days with no salt made dinners barely edible. 4. Don't pour the water from a can of baby shrimp into the teriyaki rice along with the shrimp. The water tastes awful and I could barely eat any of it (clam juice is ok, though, which is what fooled me).5. Follow the rules about how far to hang food from tree trunks. Bears can reach quite far, as we observed with great consternation.6. Apply moleskin or duct tape or whatever at the VERY FIRST inkling of a hint of a sign of a possible blister forming, or else!

Energy giant E.on taking on 50 new apprentices
Posted: March 09, 2014|
ENERGY supplier E.on is to employ up to 50 16 to 24-year-olds in Nottingham as part of a pilot customer service apprenticeship scheme.
The company is introducing the programme in Nottingham and plans to gradually extend it across other regions.
Dave Newborough, director of human resources at E.on said: "We are passionate about helping people find a career and we are always looking for new and innovative ways to make this happen.
"I'm delighted that we are leading the way in the energy sector on youth entrant programmes and skills training.
Related content
"We hope by attracting new talent into the sector we can build on the progress we have already made in improving our services for our customers."
The company said application and launch dates for its new apprenticeship scheme are still to be confirmed, and more information will be announced on its website shortly.
Successful candidates will undertake a pre-apprenticeship programme, comprising of seven weeks sector-ready training.
The second stage is a structured one-year apprenticeship, specialising in both 'on the job' and 'off the job' training, including work experience in customer operations.
Apprentices who show potential in the first 12 months of the customer service apprenticeship programme will have the opportunity to progress onto the second year of the scheme, completing a Level three qualification – the equivalent of two A-Levels.
The programme will be run by the newly formed Energy and Efficiency Industrial Partnership – formed as part of the Employer Ownership of Skills government initiative.
Neil Robertson, chief executive of Energy and Utility Skills, the sectors skills council for the gas, power, waste management and water industries, said: "E.ON is leading the way by creating new ways of helping young people into a career in the energy industry. These opportunities will lead to new jobs in a major company."
E.on also has 12 apprentices on its Generation/Engineering scheme at Ratcliffe-on-Soar.
David Hughes, 46, of Erewash, started as an apprentice at E.on and worked his way up to become the head of the giant company's engineering academy.
Mr Hughes, who is also E.on's East Midlands apprenticeship ambassador, said: "We take great care to ensure all our apprentices are supported and provided with the necessary training and skills they need to succeed in their career. For me, an apprenticeship is just a stepping stone to a long-term valued career.
"A really good apprenticeship scheme should provide skills and qualifications alongside exposure to quality experiences while you earn.
"It's also important that employers gain feedback from their apprentices to ensure they continually improve the quality of training and experiences offered.
"Apprenticeships offer a great alternative to university where you can also gain qualifications, but where you're likely to gain little experience and may well end up in debt."
