Peters is out for the year with an ACL injury.
The season is over for Costa Mesa High, which finished fourth in the Orange Coast League and did not receive the Southern Division's lone at-large playoff berth.
But Coach Wally Grant can't help but be excited when he talks about next year's team. Having junior fullback/linebacker Oronde Crenshaw back for his senior year is a big reason why.
Crenshaw had another huge game in the finale, a 35-28 loss to league champion Laguna Beach. He had 43 carries for 280 yards and all four of the Mustangs' touchdowns. It was his third straight league game with more than 250 rushing yards.
Despite receiving limited carries in most of the Mustangs' early games, Crenshaw finished the season with 1,391 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns. Grant called Crenshaw, who also led the Mustangs in tackles, a Division I college player on either side of the ball.
"If that man stays healthy, who knows what kind of numbers he'll put up?" Grant said. "That's three games over [250]. So, what's 10 times [250]? Twenty-five hundred yards? So that's his goal isn't it? If he stays healthy, there's no reason why he can't accomplish that. He's going to be absolutely fun to watch."
CdM kicker Grif Amies is now the all-time Orange County leader for field goals in a season.
The senior converted two field goals against Beckman, from 27 and 33 yards, giving him 18 for the year. He broke the mark held by Newport Harbor's Art Sorce and El Modena's Tim Hatcher, who each made 16 field goals in 1974 and 1988, respectively.
Amies is now five successful field goals away from breaking the CIF Southern Section mark held by Chris Sailer, who made 22 for Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks in 1994.
Amies is 18 for 21 in field-goal attempts this season.
Truxton's numbers — 12 catches for 216 yards and three touchdowns — are remarkable for one game. Those stats were almost half of his totals for each category through the first nine games of the season.
While most of his damage against Los Alamitos came in the second half (seven catches for 161 yards and three touchdowns) Truxton made a big play on defense in the first half.
Truxton, playing cornerback, came down with an interception near the pylon midway through the second quarter to keep the deficit against Los Alamitos at 14-0. The Sailors went into halftime down just two scores, instead of three.
The final score of 51-17 was impressive for Estancia. But Calvary Chapel scored touchdowns twice in three minutes in the third quarter, aided by an Estancia fumble.
That narrowed Estancia's lead to 38-17. Bargas was forced to put his starters back in for a series, which ended when quarterback Brad Wilson hit Henry Vasquez for an 18-yard touchdown.
Estancia senior running back Robert Murtha, who had 18 carries for 228 yards and three touchdowns, had his lone second-half carry on the series.
"Calvary Chapel's got some good players on their team," Bargas said. "They gave us everything we wanted ... We don't want to win this game but be unhappy about the performance we finished off with. We needed the momentum. Otherwise, we would have been melancholy about this win, even though we did a lot of good things. I always tell the guys, it's not how you start, it's how you finish."
Grant said the Mustangs also have at least three other Division I talents returning, including junior tackle/nose guard Marco Zalpa, sophomore lineman Sam Bunker and junior receiver/defensive back Quinten Bell.
"It's going to be a lot of fun next year, hands down," Grant said. "Costa Mesa High School is going to be a fun, enjoyable, winning environment."
Penalties hurt Costa Mesa against Laguna Beach. The Mustangs were flagged nine times for 74 yards.
Still, Mesa played Laguna the closest of any team in league. And the Mustangs were not blown out in any of their six losses this year. The most lopsided defeat was a 21-6 loss to Pacifica in Week 4.
"It's not a round ball, so the bounces don't always go your way," Grant said. "This year, honest to goodness, the bounces didn't go our way. But the kids didn't quit. This was a great group of kids. We were not picked to do anything this year, and we weren't blown out of any game this year. We just did some real foolish things in every game that ended up costing us."
By halftime, CdM quarterback Cayman Carter was on his way to breaking the school record for touchdown passes in a game.
Carter threw for four scores in the first half against Beckman, but the senior sat out the second half, leaving him one touchdown pass shy of tying the school mark of five. Brent Lawson and Dave Terry hold the record.
With CdM up, 33-0, at halftime, Coach Scott Meyer said he didn't want to risk Carter getting injured.

Respond wanted to have a quirky feel to their website - I developed the look around the idea of talking, I also developed a flash application that reads the pages as an aid.

So what happens if we bought it already?
A top-down sandbox shooter with emphasis on cooperation, squad leading and being a tiny soldier in big war.
Posted by Protektor on Jun 13th, 2012
RUNNING WITH RIFLES is a top-down sandbox shooter for PC/Windows, with emphasis on cooperation, squad leading and being a tiny soldier in a big war. The events take place on an open world battlefield divided between two factions, each trying to capture bases from the opposite side until the enemy has been wiped out from the area. The player takes the role of a private and fights along his/her comrades controlled by AI, slowly gaining influence over fellow soldiers through rank promotions from success in battles.
Enjoy Running with Rifles and many other great games on Desura.
So what happens if we bought it already?
hi haga, you will be able to transfer your BMT micro purchase to Desura. This evening pasik will write an info on the forum on how to proceed!
Time to F5 your servers to death XD
It is $8.69 on Desura but $7.47 on BMT Micro, shouldn't the BMT Micro price reflect on Desura?
So, after watching the video I must ask;
Where are/what are the sandbox elements?
It's called a sandbox due to its non-linear randomized open world; you can reach the goal with countless different ways and every session plays out differently.
Events in general take place with or without player's intervention.
Try the single player demo, you'll know what I mean! :)
I love seeing a well built interesting game, and then seeing it's made with Ogre, been using it for 2 and a half years and absolutely love it. Definitely picking this up for the weekend :)
Out of curiosity what do you guys use for UI? CEGUI?
Thanks! You're right, Ogre is amazing, it's such a delight to use.
The UI is custom made based on Ogre's overlay elements.
Oh okay cool. After playing it I'm not surprised why everyone likes it so much! :) Well worth it, best of luck with continued development.
Love this game and it's openness. Any chance of any sort of camera control or customization?
Thanks! There has been some camera control discussion on the forum at www.runningwithrifles.net , but currently it would seem that it's better left uncontrollable for simplicity and fairness, and come up with solutions for the issues it brings up in another way.

Bill Robinson from Frost, Brown Todd is expected to be president-elect of the American Bar Association.
- Filed Under
The man who is on his way to one of the top jobs in the American legal profession almost didn't even become a lawyer.
William "Bill" Robinson III initially wanted to be a Roman Catholic priest, and spent five years in a seminary high school and the seminary before deciding the priesthood wasn't for him.
"That's why I'm so shy and introverted," jokes the affable Robinson, 64, who is anything but. "I've observed that most of us wind up making the most important decisions in our lives here in our hearts with our intuition, rather than in our minds with our intellect. ...

Great Park Forensic Audit; Politics Over Substance
by Dan Chmielewski •
I'll say this to Council member Christina Shea and Jeff Lalloway: mission accomplished. The forensic auditor delivered exactly the sort of document you wanted for the upcoming November elections. It's loaded with the sort of editorial comment against Larry Agran you sought and charges of non-cooperation against Great Park contractors and it republished a bunch of numbers that have been covered in the multiple compliance audits already.

Hey, friends! Who's ready to get crafting for Halloween? I know many of you have a ton of things on your plate, so you're looking for projects that are quick, cheap, and easy, right? That's exactly what I have to share with you today! I'm participating in a fun challenge called Craft Lightning that's all about quick Halloween crafts that take 15 minutes or less! Sound good? That's what I thought! Take a look…
Here's what I came up with! It cost me absolutely nothing since I already had all the supplies on hand, and it's actually an upcycle too; reusing my "trash" instead of getting rid of it! How did I do it? So glad you asked! Read on!
If you visit One Artsy Mama on any kind of regular basis, you know I'm addicted to a certain Seattle-based coffee chain. Since I can't afford to indulge my craving for a Grande Iced Salted Caramel Mocha every single day, I like to keep a good stock of these guys on hand…I buy the caramel ones and the mocha ones, and mix them together. Mmmmm…the perfect blend!
Anyway, as you might expect, that means I end up with a whole bunch of these cool little glass bottles! I can recycle them…OR I can reuse them, which is what I decided to do!
– small glass bottle{s} with labels removed {soaking should do the trick; they come off pretty cleanly}
– tissue paper
– glitter decoupage
– sponge brushes
– assorted embellishments: stickers, google eyes, etc.
Step 1: Cut your tissue paper into small squares/rectangles. Don't worry about getting these perfect or all the same size; it really doesn't matter. And remember, we're doing this quickly, right? So just snip!
Step 2: Apply decoupage to the bottle and layer your tissue paper on top. Smooth it down with more decoupage.
Step 3: Cover the entire bottle so no glass is visible except for the top, in case you want to put a lid on. Then, go over the whole thing with one last coat of decoupage.
Step 4: Add embellishments! I added big google eyes to the white one to make it look like a ghost…or maybe a mummy. What do you think?
I was originally planning on making the orange one a jack-o-lantern by adding a face, but I found these cute polkadot alphabet stickers in my stash from a wreath I made one time. I had a B and two O's, and they fit perfectly…so that's what I used!
All that was left to do was let them dry! They got a nice glossy, glittery finish. They're somewhat waterproof too now. I wouldn't run them through the dishwasher or anything crazy, but you can use them with care as a vase, a beverage holder, etc. Take a look at some of the ways you can use these guys throughout the season!
A Festive Vase
Even though it's fall, there are still so many gorgeous flowers blooming! I picked these from my garden and the vases help to make a fun, seasonal display! If only I weren't allergic to flowers…sniffle!!
I mean, seriously…don't you love this?!
A Beverage Holder
This is, after all, what the bottle was designed for in the first place! Add your favorite drink, a straw, and you're good to go!
A Candy Jar
Candy corn or other Halloween-themed goodies will look adorable in one of these. Paint or cover the lid, put it on top, and it's ready to give to your neighbor, a teacher, or a friend! Who wouldn't love to get one of these?!
These are seriously SO quick, cheap, and easy! I literally spent no money because I already had all this stuff in my stash {yaaay for stash-busting projects!!}. I made BOTH bottles in 20 minutes, and I betcha I could have gotten the two of them done in 15 if I hadn't had to stop every five seconds to take a bunch of photos. Ah, the life of a craft blogger… Anyway, I forsee making a bunch more of these as fun little holiday gifts. Especially since I have plenty of bottles. I mean seriously. I'm drinking my coffee while I'm doing this. See? Just keepin' it real, friends. Honestly. {PS: Thanks to Carrie at My Favorite Finds for the uber awesome cup}!
So, what do you think? Would you make these? Would you love getting one as a gift? What are your favorite quick and easy holiday crafts?
Hugs & Glitter,
Tagging: BOO, bottles, candy jar, ghost, google eyes, Halloween, halloween craft, holiday craft, mummy, Starbucks, Starbucks bottle
8 comments on Craft Lightning: A Quick Halloween Craft
I'm not a coffee drinker but just discovered how cute these bottles are and made them as drink cups for our housewarming party a couple of weeks ago. They're on sale at Costco right now so I think I may just have to stock up on some more to make fun Halloween decorations and gifts for friends. Thanks for the idea.
Britni recently posted…GIveaway: $25 Target Gift Card
Recycling rocks and so do those bottles!
Angie @ CCC recently posted…BOO Halloween Shirt — paint your own shirt!
What a cute way to reuse the bottles…
Beautiful flowers…Love it
The Starbucks sounds yummy too…
Do you just pour them over ice???
I love these! Of course… I'm a total sucker for any craft that used google eyes!!
these look great! those would even be good for storing halloween candies
Super adorable! I love how you showed them as drink glasses or as flower vases. Love the multi-function

Jimmy Fallon Got Weepy at Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's Wedding
by Julie Zied | November 2, 2012 at 12:09 PM | Watch What Happens Live
Jimmy Fallon is a sucker for weddings, and his friend Justin Timberlake's recent marriage to Jessica Biel was no exception. "I'm a fun person to invite to a wedding," Fallon told Andy Cohen during an appearance on Thursday night's episode of "Watch What Happens Live."
"I dance…I drink…I weep," he joked.
DVR the Next Episode of "Watch What Happens Live"
Despite signing a confidentiality agreement about the Oct. 19 event, Fallon was able to spill the beans on a few details of the pair's Italian nuptials, saying bride Biel, who wore a pink Giambattista Valli gown, looked "gorgeous."
"She looked like a princess," he said, noting that everything about the night was "beautiful," including the weather. "It was the perfect temperature," he added. "It was just insane."
Later in the show Fallon dished on an odd run-in with Lindsay Lohan Wednesday night at New York eatery Tao. Find out what went down below:

Japan's Revolution Is Far Too Quiet—A Commentary by Bruce Ackerman '67
Japan's Revolution Is Far Too Quiet
By Bruce Ackerman '67, Norikazu Kawagishi '99 JSD,'93 LLM
Japan is on the cusp of a constitutional revolution. To an overstretched West, a newly muscular Tokyo promises stability in a rapidly shifting region. Yet, in its rush to overturn six decades of official pacifism, the Japanese government is stifling the serious national debate required in a modern democracy. Is anyone paying attention?
Japan's pacifist Constitution has been frozen in time, unchanged since it was enacted during the occupation of U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur. But with little opportunity for debate, the Japanese parliament recently passed a bill that opens the door to major constitutional revisions. Western governments, overwhelmed by their security commitments around the world, have honed in on one preferred outcome—amendment of Article Nine, which prohibits Japan from participating in war and restricts the size and scope of its military. Their nearly exclusive emphasis on this point has obscured the deeply flawed process by which the changes are to be made.
The new law, pushed by the inexperienced Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, allows the government to hold a national referendum on proposed constitutional amendments. Rammed through parliament on a party-line vote, the Abe initiative has serious flaws.
Most importantly, it imposes drastic restrictions on freedom of speech. No political advertising will be permitted on radio or television during the two-week run-up to the referendum on proposed amendments. Worse yet, the law bans the nation's schoolteachers from speaking out on the matter—as if a little learning were a dangerous thing when the nation contemplates its constitutional future. These restrictions have no place in a system based on the rule of the people.
But the government may have something else in mind. The new law fails to require a minimum turnout before any constitutional referendum becomes valid. By tolerating massive political passivity and imposing silence on broad sectors of civil society, the law sets the stage for a parody of democratic politics. The Constitution should not be amended by minorities marching to the polls under the guidance of entrenched political elites.
Some checks on abuse will remain. The Constitution inherited from the MacArthur era requires a two-thirds vote from both legislative houses before an amendment can be placed before the voters. This supermajority rule will necessitate a consensus from the political elite before any basic constitutional change could occur. But democratic principles require something more—a full and fair test of the consent of ordinary citizens. By restricting free speech and not mandating a minimum voter turnout, the referendum law falls short of this key requirement.
Western policymakers will find it easy to ignore this point. With NATO's resources desperately overstretched, they are increasingly concerned with the revision of the famous "peace clause" of Article Nine. As they contemplate China's rising power, a growing number of Western governments will be tempted to support the repeal of the peace article without serious questioning.
This would be a grievous mistake. Any attempt to repudiate Article Nine would generate large anxieties in the region, even if it is accompanied by flawless democratic procedures. But an effort by elites to ram repeal through a defective process will justifiably generate larger concerns about the future of Japanese democracy. It is one thing for a democratic Japan to return to the world stage as a normal military power; it is quite another for it to create a precedent for future assaults on its fragile constitutional heritage. In a fiercely nationalistic region with long historical memories, such a move could be extremely dangerous.
Abe is right about one thing: Japan's move toward popular sovereignty is essential if the Japanese people are to take ownership of their own political destiny. The existing Constitution was largely drafted by American military lawyers and was never put up for approval by the people. Sixty years later, it is past time for modern Japan to move beyond the U.S. occupation and build a constitution worthy of its two generations of democratic practice. But this new law is the wrong way to start.
The referendum law does not come into effect for three years—time enough for public opinion, both inside and outside the country, to have an impact. Intent on repealing the peace article, the Abe government has pressed forward without a broad discussion of its larger constitutional implications. But it would be shortsighted for friends of the country to allow this silence to continue.

The Gatorade Rebrand: A User's Guide to Understanding It
The rebrand itself is beautiful. Just from a graphic and simplicity in design standpoint. But do people recognize it on the shelves? Will they know which category of athlete they fall in to choose their category of drink: Prime 01, Perform 02 or Recover 03? All 3 bottles look different and you need to watch the TV spot just to understand which sports drink is for you. No wonder their customer base has gone over to using Jolt or Redbull.
Ah, the paradox of choice. A double-edged sword, indeed.

MUSKEGON, Mich. (WZZM) -- A call to action tonight from authorities in Muskegon County as they try to find out "who" is responsible for a deadly, triple shooting.
It happened early Sunday morning at the Elks Lodge in Muskegon. Three people died, four others were injured.
Right now Antonio Raglin is being held on weapons charges, but investigators say others were involved.
Police are looking for the driver of a silver car caught on survallence video. They say the driver ran over and killed, 20-year-old Jalisa Love, a mother of three. Wanda Love, Jalisa's mother, wants answers.
"My daughter was a very loving person," she says. "She had three kids and she loved life itself."
Love and the two other victims, Jacolby Brown and Dupree Barnes, were at a memorial service when a gunfight broke out. Love ran, but police say this silver car ran her over and drove away.
"I hope somebody would come forward to let us know," says Wanda Love. "Why you would just run her over and leave? Why didn't you call somebody to come help or comfort her? You just ran her over and left her like she was nothing."
Police say 100 people were at the Lodge during the shooting. Shalonda Brown, Jacolby's mother, is asking someone to come forward.
"If you have any sympathy at all for this please come forward and tell us why," says Brown
Glen Gray Jr. knew all three victims, including Dupree Barnes.
"Barnes was a stand up guy," says Gray. "Always had a smile on his face, stand-up-chest-out kind of guy.
Like many Gray wants the violence to end, and wants an explanation for why a mother of three won't be coming home tonight.
"I'm here to raise them which I'm going to do a good job, but I think she'd rather be here to raise her own kids," says Love. "They're young and need their mother."
Police are looking for tips, you can call them at (231) 72-CRIME.

To schedule please email with "Training Request" in the subject line.
Have an event coming up and need to get the word out? I can help you navigate a list of 50+ web calendars (a mix of progressive and mainstream websites) that will help you reach beyond your listserve and/or Facebook friends. The list of web calendars is available via this http://bit.ly/BostonCalendars.
To maximize the visibility of your calendar postings I suggest creating 3 versions of your listing: text only, html no p tags and html with p tags. Adding html to your listing allows you to add bold, italics, color and images.
HTML format is scary at first, but you will get the hang of it! Basically, some websites don't allow you to bold or italicize a word or sentence on the spot, so you have to use a code to get the font to look how you want it to.
- To bold: don't stress
- To italicize:  you will get it!
- To do both: how much wood can a woodchuck chuck?
Hyperlinks: how link appears in text
This is just a brief overview - use Google to find out how to create:
- bullets
- email links
- font colors
- font sizes
- images
- Make sure to Sign In if the website requires a password, especially if you cannot initially find where to post a new event.
- Remember to check your email after posting. Some sites send an email with a confirmation link you need to click before the event is actually posted.
- Go back and review the event to make sure everything looks the way it's supposed to (i.e. all the bold/italic/paragraph codes are closed, everything appears in the same font and the hyperlinks/photos are formatted correctly).
If this is all going over your head - don't worry! I'm available via Time Trade Circle or an agreed upon fee to assist you. I've walked dozens of people through this and they're all now able to post events on their own.
Have a Facebook profile? I can help you set up your event on there as well.
New to the idea of Twitter? I can help you navigate the world of hash tags, replies and direct messages (aka: #, @ & DMs).
Off-line networking? I'm familiar with bulletin boards you could post on in many neighborhoods.
And of course the "Art of the Schmooze" is an incredibly useful skill to acquire if you'd like to become a more effective networker.

Juan Ruiz is also known as the Arcipreste de Hita.
If you're interested in fables, the Libro de buen amor shares two fables with those of the Bayeux Tapestry. "The Fox and the Crow" and the "Wolf and the Crane." Here is a good closeup of one of these fables.
The poems contained in the LBA found their sources in popular poetry, fabliaux, Classical, Arabic, Jewish, Latin, and French writings. The meter is sometimes Alexandrine, but with an expressive latitude not exercised by previous poets. Among the characters are Trotaconventos, the first great go-between of Spanish literature, Don Melón and Doña Endrina, surrounded by fruit and garden imagery in their Pamphilus-inspired love affair, the wise nun Doña Garoça with the Arabic name alluding to her as a "bride of Christ," Pitas Payas, a career-oriented businessman with a smart wife (over time lambs become rams...) and even the Archpriest himself as narrator in various guises, often as an unlucky lover in spite of help from several go-betweens (good and bad), in addition to the loving Don Amor and Doña Venus. One can find much wisdom and many lessons to be learned from this book, written with the universality of great literature that lasts through the ages and never ceases to attract, intrigue and inform a multitude of readers.
An article in Hispania (March '98) (Brown & Johnson) singles out the Libro de buen amor as the most frequently listed book under the heading of poetry on graduate student reading lists in Spanish. On p. 5 Brown & Johnson include Juan Ruiz among a handful of authors which "constitute the next generation of scholars' common base." The other authors are: Cervantes, Galdós, Calderón, Rojas, Lope, Tirso, Cela, García Lorca, Unamuno, García Márquez, Darío, Neruda, Vallejo, Borges. Indeed, the LBA is an extremely important work of literature.
Needless to say, the Libro de buen amor is a much-studied work, and the bibliography presented both at the top and the bottom of this website is a comprehensive collection of references to these studies.

Halloween is here, and we've got a great treat for you to go along with your mountains of chocolate bars this year: the results of MTV's Killer Halloween! All last week, we asked you to rank 10 of our favorite horror movie killers based on five different attributes — style, weaponry, personality, gross factor and legacy — and we've got the combined results for each of these categories. The winner: one extremely well-rounded horror movie killer to haunt your dreams forever.
1st Place: Freddy Krueger
That's right, none other than "Nightmare on Elm Street" baddie Freddy Krueger is the winner of Killer Halloween! The clear cut winner in three categories — style, personality and legacy — Krueger also more than held his own in the weaponry and gross factor departments, coming in second only to Leatherface of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" fame. Congrats on the win, Freddy… we'll see you in our nightmares tonight!
See the Killer Halloween runners-up after the jump!

While the diagnostic laboratory has been able to test for the 2a and 2b strains for years, the new test extends the laboratory's capabilities to quickly and accurately detect canine parvovirus.
"With this test we can now test all strains simultaneously and differentiate which strains of the virus might actually be causing the infection," Oberst said. "That's a unique aspect to this test."
While canine parvovirus is a severe disease, the good news for dog owners is that the disease is preventable through vaccinations, Oberst said. Getting a dog in a vaccination program as soon as possible is the best way to prevent spreading the virus.
"It's totally preventable if the dogs are immune competent and have gotten into a vaccine program at an early age before they can become exposed to the virus," Oberst said. "That's why getting dogs vaccinated and getting their immune systems ready for exposure to parvovirus is very important."
Young dogs -- usually 6-16 weeks old -- are more likely to show symptoms, Oberst said, because they have not yet been vaccinated or are immunocompromised. Parvovirus symptoms among dogs include fever, bloody diarrhea or lethargy.
If pet owners suspect their dog has canine parvovirus, they should talk with their veterinarian, Oberst said. He recommends that pet owners separate the dog from healthy dogs so that the virus doesn't spread. He also recommends using bleach to disinfect surfaces of which the parvovirus-infected dog may have come into contact.
While the virus does not infect humans, the researchers are seeing that parvovirus can infect cats

Overview of Portland Maine
Portland, Maine bustles with life in eastern Cumberland County along the Atlantic Ocean. No matter the interest, activity, or neighborhood, Portland boasts a vibrancy that surpasses most other cities in Maine. With a population of 64,000, it's the largest city in the state with a wealth of resources to support its residents. Many eclectic shops, fantastic restaurants, beautifully constructed houses, and buildings with breathtaking views of Casco Bay invite people from all over the world.
The city can roughly be divided up into 8 basic areas (see map). From the center of Portland 4 major roads jut out starting with Congress Street on the West which filters out to the airport, Brighton Avenue which cuts through Deering, Forest Avenue which leads to Westbrook; and Washington Avenue which winds its way West and North and ultimately ends up in Falmouth and/or Westbrook as well. All of these roads are for the most part, 2 lanes and are dotted with traffic lights, stores, homes and businesses.
West End - Offers higher prices and many opportunities for resale. A lot of stately brick homes, nice condos, and condo conversion projects underway.
East End - Perhaps the best location for appreciation as an up-and-coming in-town location. With proximity to the East End Beach and the Eastern Promenade, its a great place to buy a house. Many luxury condo developments are underway.
Old Port - - Has all the nightlife, restaurants, and shopping. Sandwiched between the East and West Ends its a convenient location to browse real estate.
Deering Properties - Classic in town suburb with lots of nice single-family homes. Close to Deering High School and traditionally, the best area for appreciation/resale.
North Deering - There are nice, solid family homes in the area though its a bit further away from the hustle of downtown. Many colonials, with close proximity to Falmouth and the Presumpscot River, make it a desirable place to live.
East Deering - A very nice suburban neighborhood, close to town with easy access to the highway. Just like the East End, it is newer neighborhood, thus values are lower, making a good place to invest.
West Deering - Similar in structure to Deering, just farther out Brighton Avenue, its a solid neighborhood with quality homes.
Outer Forest- Similar to North Deering, there are a lot of larger apartment and condo developments, with quaint little neighborhoods.
Overall Portland is an easygoing city with friendly, hardworking people coming from all different walks of life. The housing is affordable, the schools, and healthcare are solid, and the urban center is just minutes from all sort of recreational activities.
Portland Maine is a wonderful place to live, to work and to do business in.
Portland Historical Housing Statistics
The Portland housing market is currently booming as the recovery has ended and prices are rising in most sectors. High buyer demand coupled with very low inventories has created an extremely strong residential marketplace as of late.
The Portland single family home market has an inventory of about 200 to 250 homes on the market. Entry level fixer uppers can be found in the low $100,000's whilst a mansion on the West End can fetch upwards of a million. A 3 bedroom cape in a comfortable Portland neighborhood can easily be found in the mid $200,000's.
If Portland is not the right choice for you.. some similar regions such as the Scarborough housing market or Cape Elizabeth homes to the South might be a few good alternatives to check out.

Typhoon Haiyan: Your stories
Haiyan survivors in Leyte struggle to pick up the pieces
- sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer
These photos were taken by Maryann Zamora, Emergency Communications Officer at World Vision, as she walked 8 hours to get to Tacloban in the province of Leyte. This area is reported to be the hardest hit by Typhoon Haiyan. Storm survivors mourn the loss of their homes and are in desperate need of life-saving supplies like clean water.
"Yesterday, my fellow World Vision Philippines aid workers and I started our trip from Ormoc at 7:00 in the morning. We had a good ride until Tanauan and arrived there before lunch time. But after that the walking started. We had a long, heartbreaking and risky walk over and through the electrical posts and streetlights with so many people, passing through the scene of massive devastation, mass graves and bodies lying just anywhere are understated. It was my longest walk so far and it was as if I was walking on a path of endless misery. We arrived safely in Tacloban at 8:00 in the evening," said Maryann Zamora.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Orwell, Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams are felt on every page, though Magnason is never derivative. His satire and insightful social commentary sweeten the pot and the sheer wackiness of Magnason's oversized imagination is invigorating."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review
LoveStar, the enigmatic and obsessively driven founder of the LoveStar corporation, has unlocked the key to transmitting data via birdwaves, thus freeing mankind from wires and devices, and allowing consumerism, technology, and science to run rampant over all aspects of daily life. Cordless modern men and women are paid to howl advertisements at unsuspecting passers-by, REGRET machines eliminate doubt over roads not taken, soul mates are identified and brought together (while existing, unscientifically validated relationships are driven remorselessly asunder), and rocketing the dead into the sky becomes both a status symbol and a beautiful, cathartic show for those left behind.
Indridi and Sigrid, two blissfully happy young lovers, have their perfect worlds threatened (along with Indridi's sanity) when they are "calculated apart" and are forced to go to extreme lengths to prove their love. Their journey ultimately puts them on a collision course with LoveStar, who is on his own mission to find what might become the last idea in the world.
Steeped in influences ranging from Italo Calvino, Jorge Luis Borges, and Kurt Vonnegut to George Orwell, Douglas Adams, and Monty Python, Andri Snær Magnason has created a surreal yet uncomfortably familiar world, where the honey embrace of love does its utmost to survive amid relentless and overpowering controls.
"In this outlandish yet poignant dystopian allegory, Magnason (Dreamland: A Self-Help Manual for a Frightened Nation) imagines a post-technological world in which the relationship between people and information is turned on its head. 'Cordless' citizens are freed from gadgets and wires while REGRET, something like a retroactive Magic 8 Ball if envisioned by Vonnegut, renders every choice the right one. Louts hoping to pay down debt become 'ad howlers,' 'AdTraps,' and 'Secret Hosts' — human bullhorns spouting targeted advertisements or post-purchase praise ('YOU WERE UNBELIEVABLY COOL TO BUY SUCH GROOVY SHOES!') to pedestrians. At funerals run by LoveDeath, bodies are launched into space and mourners watch their loved ones 'burn up under the heavenly plough' upon re-entry. At the helm of this carefully monitored and controlled society is LoveStar, a God-like old man with three hours left to live and a mission to 'free people from the oppression of freedom.' Then there's Indridi and Sigrid, who want to stick together despite inLOVE's calculation of Sigrid as better matched with a Danish man. Orwell, Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams are felt on every page, though Magnason is never derivative. His satire and insightful social commentary sweeten the pot and the sheer wackiness of Magnason's oversized imagination is invigorating." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
What would happen to the world if global expansion just kept going? One possibility is the tale of LoveStar, a multinational corporation housed in a north Iceland mountain amusement park. As cordless modern men are amply paid to howl secret advertisements and REGRET machines eliminate any doubts over one's actions, LoveStar builds an empire--a mental and physical landscape where rocketing the dead into the sky becomes both a status symbol and a beautiful, cathartic show for those left behind. LoveStar is an exercise in ruling the world. Will the company, and its godlike namesake founder, cause the end of that world?
Steeped in the influences of Calvino, Levi, Borges, and Vonnegut, Andri Snær Magnason has created a surreal yet uncomfortably familiar world, where the honey embrace of love does its utmost to survive amid overcalculation. The first novel by one of Iceland's most celebrated young writers, LoveStar has been called--by one German style magazine--a mixture of Douglas Adams'sThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, George Orwell's 1984, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and the heartbreak romance of Nicholas Sparks.
Winner of the DV Literary Award, nominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize, and named "Novel of the Year" by Icelandic booksellers in 2002, Andri Magnason's LoveStar contains plenty of puffins (yes the bird) and is downright hilarious.
About the Author
Andri Snær Magnason is one of Iceland's most celebrated young writers. He has written poetry, plays, fiction, and non-fiction, and in 2009 he co-directed the documentary Dreamland, which was based on his book Dreamland: A Self-Help Manual for a Frightened Nation. In 2002 LoveStar was named "Novel of the Year" by Icelandic booksellers and received the DV Literary Award and a nomination for the Icelandic Literary Prize. LoveStar was also shortlisted for the 2013 Philip K. Dick Award. His children's book, The Story of the Blue Planet—now published or performed in twenty-six countries—was the first children's book to receive the Icelandic Literary Prize, and was also the recipient of the Janusz Korczak Honorary Award and the West Nordic Children's Book Prize. Andri is the winner of the 2010 Kairos Award.

D-backs send Barrett, Stites to Minor League camp, option De La Rosa, Marte to Triple-A Reno
The Arizona Diamondbacks made a series of roster moves Sunday, sending nine players to their Minor League camp and optioning four others to Triple-A Reno.
Among the notable players sent to the Minor League camp were relievers Jake Barrett and Matt Stites, as well as infielder Nick Ahmed and veteran catcher Bobby Wilson.
This spring, Barrett, a Mesa, Ariz. native, gave up two runs on seven hits over four innings of work. He recorded a 4.50 ERA and one save.
Stites, who was acquired in the deadline deal that sent Ian Kennedy to the San Diego Padres in July 2013, made three appearances and gave up two runs on two hits in 2 2/3 innings of work.
As for the four assigned to Triple-A, left-hander reliever Eury De La Rosa and outfielder Alfredo Marte headlined the list.
De La Rosa, who pitched in 19 regular season games in 2013, gave up two runs and struck out four in 3 2/3 innings of work this spring.

Posted: January 5, 2010, from the January 2010 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 6 of 12For large companies, this evaluation is at very low cost, relatively speaking. For billion dollars companies, taking a risk of a few hundred thousand dollars is nothing, and not taking that risk is irresponsible. Without some risk-taking, good companies are in danger of losing their edge. Ignoring innovation or simply not encouraging innovation can also kill them, and they realize innovation is not limited to technical staff.
However, small companies often get trumped by larger players, even on commodity like products or on small projects where it would be easy to take a chance in a marketing strategy or positioning effort—and it happens again and again. The mind-set sanctioning marketing people and ideas when they bet on a risk must be changed. Reward the risk. It may have the potential to earn you a buck or two and make you more competitive.
That is not to say that there should be no controls in the marketing lobe of the brain. Process control is often an overlooked aspect of marketing departments. How many times have you seen a scenario in which marketing copy hasn't gone to the right people and a legal department vetoes something the day before it is supposed to print, as one example? Things like this happen because there are, often, no procedures. Written procedures are for the nerds in the lab, right? Yet, beyond their incredible creative contribution, marketing department team members do have to perform certain tasks—always in the same order, always for the same reason. There is a work and a paperwork flow associated with any launch, any new product, any new version. It is always the same, and it often lacks the normal checks associated with the lab half of the brain. Using project management programs, collaborative intranets and the growing number of like tools often isn't enough. It is important to have road maps and written checklists. It is also essential to get together often and brainstorm on the organizational aspects of the work, try to find solutions that can bind together processes and tools so projects/tasks/ideas are kept track of in a centralized, transparent and open fashion.
Building communities around projects—preferably hybrid communities where, again, both sides of the brain can talk to each other on a regular basis and follow each other's work—is always good. It's not necessarily very comfortable at first, but it always helps the company function better.
Thinking Differently
Beyond the divide that often exists between marketing and R&D, there is another that is self-generated. Though scientists and marketers need to be equally creative, and thankfully often are, they think differently and they are treated differently, trained differently, compensated and managed differently. Because they tend not to approach problems in the same fashion, the difference in treatment can often be justified, but, sometimes, it tends to keep certain myths alive or to just widen preexisting gaps.
