China's Hollow Military
Gill, Bates, O'Hanlon, Michael, The National Interest
How good is China's military, and how much should the United States care? There are ample grounds for addressing these questions. In 1995, and then again in 1996, the People's Republic of China (PRC) splashed missiles off the Taiwanese coast. It also reinforced military facilities on the Spratly Islands, which China claims although they are hundreds of miles from its shores. More recently, the PRC has undertaken a steady build-up of short-range missiles opposite Taiwan - hardly, it seems, a benign development, particularly when considered alongside President Jiang Zemin's presumed goal of reuniting Taiwan with the Chinese mainland during his tenure in office. And now these questions have been given a new urgency by the espionage allegations contained in the Cox report.
The PRC, then, has demonstrated a number of intentions and aims that warrant close American attention. The ongoing dispute over Taiwan, for example, is ripe for troublesome misperception. Chinese ambitions toward the Spratly Islands do not converge with U.S. interests or, for that matter, with those of nearby countries. The PRC continues to criticize harshly America's global alliance system and its assertive foreign policy. More generally, Beijing appears poised to translate its growing economic power into greater military strength and geopolitical weight, as indeed a Chinese defense white paper acknowledged last year.
Despite all of the above, we believe that the recent clamor over China's strategic ambitions is greatly overblown. Most of the Chinese aims that run counter to U.S. interests are in fact not global or ideological but territorial in nature, and confined primarily to the islands and waterways to China's south and southeast. In addition, Beijing has recently taken a number of steps to cooperate with the United States on security matters: signing the Chemical Weapons Convention and nuclear test ban treaty, terminating its assistance to nuclear facilities in Pakistan, pledging to cut off ballistic missile transfers to Pakistan as well as nuclear and anti-ship cruise missile trade with Iran, and quietly restraining the North Koreans. Moreover, China is plagued by enormous socioeconomic problems, whose solution requires maintaining good relations with the world's major economic powers - and with the United States in particular.
That said, our main focus in this article is less on the PRC'S intentions, always subject to change in any event, than on its military capabilities. An enormous gap separates China's military capabilities from its aspirations. The PRC's armed forces are not very good, and not getting better very fast. Whatever China's concerns and intentions, its capacity to act upon them in ways inimical to U.S. interests is severely limited, and will remain so for many years.
To begin with, consider some basic facts: China remains a developing country, with per capita income levels - even after twenty years' growth of historic proportions - only about one-tenth those of the West. China's living standards trail even those of American adversaries such as Iran, Yugoslavia and pre-Desert Storm Iraq. It faces enormous challenges in its agricultural, environmental and banking sectors, which its arteriosclerotic central government is ill-equipped to address.
Looking at these facts, the new commander-in-chief of U.S. Pacific forces, Admiral Dennis Blair, has declared that China will not represent a serious strategic threat to the United States for at least twenty years.(1) In almost every respect, China's armed forces lag behind the U.S. military by at least a couple of decades; in many areas they even compare poorly with the "hollow force" that the United States fielded in the immediate wake of the war in Vietnam.(2) And on matters ranging from the professionalism of its officer corps and troop morale to training and logistics, China's military is in even worse shape than that.

Bullying among children and teens has been a prominent issue in schools and neighborhoods for decades but not fully understood or recognized as a critical issue until more recent years. Bullying is a growing problem in the U.S. that has escalated, in some cases, to severe forms of harassment. There are many negative effects of bullying on all involved. This malicious act can cause feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem in victims, as well as other mental and physical outcomes. More and more frequently, there are reports in the media of violent retaliations or suicides as a result of bullying.
Bullying includes physical intimidation and aggression, verbal abuse such as name calling and teasing, and social or emotional abuse such as spreading rumors or ostracizing someone. With the rapid advancement of technology, cyberbullying is a more modern form of harassment that has become more common in recent years. The use of technology and digital devices to intimidate and threaten others has brought this nationwide problem to a whole new level: Bullying can now happen anywhere, at any time and is no longer confined to the school yard. In fact, 43% of teens have reported that they have been victims of cyberbullying in the last year, according to the National Crime Prevention Council.
How do you know if your child is being bullied?
There are several signs that a parent can look for which may indicate bullying:
- Unexplainable injuries or lost/damaged belongings
- Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
- Complaints of physical ailments such as headaches or stomach aches
- Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school
- Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations
- Feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, or depression
What can you do to protect your child?
- Talk to your children and teach them safety strategies such as seeking help from a teacher or other adult
- Monitor your child's internet use and establish rules and guidelines for online safety
- If bullying is happening in school, report it to school officials
- Stop bullying on the spot if you witness it and provide support to all involved. It is important to show that bullying behavior is wrong and will not be tolerated.
Massachusetts has taken steps to help educate the public and prevent bullying. Governor Deval Patrick instituted the Massachusetts Bullying Prevention Law in May 2010. It includes guidelines and regulations for public and non-public schools and led to the formation of the Massachusetts Commission on Bullying Prevention. Comprised of stakeholders from the law enforcement and educational communities, the commission is tasked with reviewing the state's General Laws to determine if any need to be amended to address bullying and cyberbullying, and to investigate parental responsibility and liability for bullying and cyberbullying.
October is recognized as National Bullying Prevention Month to raise awareness of this issue, and Wednesday, October 22nd is being promoted as Unity Day 2014. Help spread the message that everyone should take an active role in bullying prevention to make our schools, neighborhoods, and communities safer places to live, learn, and work.

I participated in a discussion in today's WSJ's (the free Econoblog) on consumer spending, titled Shopped Out? My cohort in this was Dartmouth College Professor Andrew A. Samwick, author of Vox Baby. Andrew served as the chief economist
on the staff of the President's Council of Economic Advisers in 2003 and 2004.
Its an explanation of why the consumer is almost — but not quite — tapped out, and the repurcussions of that.
Here's the intro:
For at least the past decade, anyone who has bet against the resiliency and
unending spending capacity of the U.S. consumer has decidedly lost the wager.
Even through the recession of 2000-01, they hardly slowed their profligate ways.
Sept. 11 managed to create a pause in spending — at least for a short time –
but it was more than made up for in the ensuing quarters. Indeed, the careers of
economists who have declared the U.S. consumer to be tapped out litter the
countryside like corpses after a war.
There are early signs, however, that taking the other side of this bet is no
longer a sure thing. We see a variety of factors suggesting that the consumer,
while not yet exhausted, is slowly but surely moving in that direction. While
it's premature to declare the American consumer "shopped out," I suspect it's
now quite late in the cycle. Barring a significant improvement in economic
fortunes, including robust job creation and increased personal income levels,
that exhaustion now looks inevitable.
It was a lot of fun doing this with someone the stature of Professor Samwick. I definitely learned a few things . . .

Shopped Out?

Two blogs that discuss economics
The "Tax on the stupid"joke doesn't really help to understand what betting is about. I've done some advertising for a betting company and had to understand what makes people betting.
There is a small number of heavy betters that that counts for the bigger part of the income of the betting institution. Then there is a huge crowd of small betters that counts for the rest.
The heavy betters are addicted people, the systems guys who sooner or later go broke. The small guy gets exactly back what he's paying for: a little excitement for little money: an honest exchange.
So I would say that a betting entrepreneur offers good value to a lot of people at the expense of the mentally impaired few. And that pays very well.
The reason that they have been wrong about the consumer being tapped out is because they have been wrong about when the housing bubble popping. The reason that they have been wrong about the housing bubble popping is because they were relying on historical trends/data/behavior etc which will not apply to this never before period in asset growth.
That is not to say that the cycle will not end in a year or two. But, there are too many reasons why it has remained strong and they are being ignored.
For every reason they list for why the bubble should have popped, I can easily take the other side of that argument (and win)…….
Personal balance sheets remain strong.
Housing market defies gloomy forecasts
Home prices rise even faster than ever, and though some cities may have crested, others remain bargains. See how your city fared.
By Marilyn Lewis
Contrary to the expectations of many, the housing market didn slow, flatten or plunge in the second quarter.
Instead, house prices registered the biggest price leap in 26 years, says a report released Thursday by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight. House prices rose 13.43% nationally between the end of the second quarter of 2004 to the same time this year. Many observers had been predicting that the housing market was inflated to the point of either bursting or at least politely deflating.
where do you get the data that says personal balance sheets are strong?
what tells you that?
erik: I will tell you that I have read reports that contradict each other on the subject. But, let me ask you this: What do you think has happened to the avergage family's balance sheet as their home and second home or rental has more than doubled in 5 years or much less in some areas?
Thats money in the ground, unless they tap it through home equity. I dont see how borrowing against the value of your house improves your balance sheet. What if the value of your house went down? You still owe the money you tapped. Now those people who sell houses may make money but the problem they have is they have to buy real estate somewhere else, and in a large number of places it may be pricey, so that money gets piled back into the ground.
Borrowing against your house doesnt improve your balance sheet; it shifts debt from one line item to another.
Barry, I laid this on Dave Altig at Macroblog and am leaving it for your consideration as well…
Has anyone even considered how much money is being generated in the underground economy? When Toronto went hog wild on assets in the late 80″s, most of the economy went underground and has stayed there to this day. Things are bad with regard to McJobs, no benefits and savings rates, but there is a lot of "tax free, barter, underground, black market" money running around these days. These days, things being what they are, a lot of people stay "under the radar" and manage to make ends meet in a lot of strange ways.
erikpupo | Sep 2, 2005 :"Borrowing against your house doesnt improve your balance sheet; it shifts debt from one line item to another."
Think of when companies refinance short-term with long-term or visa versa. The size of the debt may be the same but, it may do wonders for cash flow.
Along those lines, many people have been advised to payoff high rate consumer debt with low rate HELOC debt. Many have done that, and their monthly cash flow has greatly improved. I am dead set against such advice.
Finally, as your house goes up in value faster than your abilty to borrow against it (or spend) isn't that the definition of increasing equity and an improved balance sheet?
Hi Larry,
I'll have to take the opposition's side, because while a company can take on additional debt for capitalization (i.e. money that's going to be used to take on more income), the opposite is true of a house and it's owner.
The H2 and the Plasma TV do not bring in additional income to offset the debt load, but simply adds to it. Joe Consumer while enjoying short term cash flow, does have to continue paying back the debt (and even with low interest, a $40K vehicle will end up costing far more than that over time) and relying on ever-increasing equity in an increasingly unstable real estate market.
I ask, does this sound 'balanced'?
Posted by: Regis | Sep 2, 2005 6:26:52 PM – good post, Regis. I am not going take the opposite view of your post. What I will say is that not all that money pulled out of real estate equity went to consumer spending. A lot of money was reinvested into rental (income) property which has increased people's net-worth, so far.
Another rule I live by: Do not borrow from one property (especially your home) to buy another.
If corporations can remember an important rule of cash-flow management: Use short term debt for short term assets and long term debt for long term assets, they will be better prepared for an economic downturn.

Any chance that the Brewers look at Lohse one more time. The guy is still available.Hide replies
Big gamble contract and not worth the first round draft choice. He could have one good year if he does not get injured and is lucky.
Just maybe they looked at Lohse's age and DL history and didn't like paying alot for an uncertain at best chance for him to duplicate last season. He seems to get hurt every other year. Throwing 88 at age 34 will not help either.Hide replies
The idea of signing a 34 year old mediocre pitcher after a career best season doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do. Especially throwing away a 1st round draft pick.

The nausea started at 9DPO and I immediately went on Zofran, just in case. I have been nauseas and burpy on the Zofran, but able to eat and drink, That is until today. I have not had an appetite, and the piece of toast and iced tea I drank did not stay down. Now I just feel like dry heaving/puking.
The Dr.'s office had me add Promethazine in, but so far it is not helping. They don't want to do anything else until I have been sick longer or stop peeing, (even though my other 3 pregnancies I got HG for the whole 9 months with numerous hydration visits to the hospital).
Any suggestions? Diner MIGHT be Campbell's Chickin Noodle Soup and Verner's soda, if I can get them down.

Science and Psychic Phenomena : The Fall of the House of Skepticsby Carter, Chris; Sheldrake, Rupert
Inner Traditions
Reports of psychic abilities, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis, date back to the beginning of recorded human history in all cultures. Documented, reproducible evidence exists that these abilities are real, yet the mainstream scientific community has vehemently denied the existence of psi phenomena for centuries. The battle over the reality of psi has carried on in scientific academies, courtrooms, scholarly journals, newspapers, and radio stations and has included scandals, wild accusations, ruined reputations, as well as bizarre characters on both sides of the debate. If true evidence exists, why then is the study of psi phenomena-parapsychology-so controversial? And why has the controversy, lasted for centuries?

On March 20 and 21, 2014, the Numata Conference in Buddhist Studies took place at the East-West Center's Keoni Auditorium, within the Hawaii Imin International Conference Center. It focused on the theme "Violence, Nonviolence, and Japanese Religions: Past, Present, and Future." For two days, twenty-one presenters engaged the local and the scholarly community in lively discussions, followed by the screening of two exceptional movies related to this topic. This event was cosponsored by the Department of Religion at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and by the Buddhist Study Center (Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawai'i).
The primary objective of this conference was to shed new light on the role played by religions throughout Japanese history, Buddhism in particular, by providing a balanced account of how it addressed the issue of violence in specific contexts. The general public tends to be more familiar with romantic ideas about Buddhism being exclusively a religion of peace, whereas historical records and advances in recent scholarship show that there is no way to dismiss all the examples in which the Buddhist clergy, or sometimes Buddhist texts, seem to have condoned violence. Such intertwinement with violence seems to contradict the fundamental emphasis on abstaining from harming and killing, the famous principle of ahiṃsā, which predates the emergence of Buddhism as an organized tradition. Yet, as highlighted by one of the presenters, there was no umbrella term for "violence" in premodern Japan, and the current word bōryoku 暴力 was coined in the nineteenth century to translate its Western equivalent.
Regardless of the labels attached to specific instances of violent behavior or, in the contrary, ideas or attempts aimed at curbing violent behavior, reliable studies focusing on Japanese occurrences are surprisingly scarce. One obvious reason why the issue of religion and violence still remains largely taboo in Japan results from the Pacific War's stigma. Thus, all indicators were showing that time was ripe for expanding this type of conversation to Japanese religions. Hawai'i, with its large community of Japanese descent, constituted an ideal location for launching this event. Given this conference's unique feature as a world premiere, we received numerous requests to make some of the papers available at an early stage before they appear in the form of an edited volume.
This collection in ScholarSpace is a response to such requests. The papers are provided as they were submitted, in the hope they will serve as appetizers for a forthcoming publication. Thus, we ask for the readers' indulgence regarding their unpolished character. These papers are made available according to the Creative Commons provisions.

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 29, 2012) - Antioquia Gold Inc. ("Antioquia Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AGD)(OTCQX:AGDXF) is pleased to announce all final drill hole results have been received thus completing the 2012 Drilling Program at its flagship Cisneros Project in Colombia. The Company is currently compiling, interpreting and modeling the results of the program to be used in the preparation of an NI 43-101 compliant resource report and an accompanying Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). It is anticipated that both reports will be released in the first part of 2013.
2012 Drilling Highlights:
Guaico Deposit Final Results:
Drill hole GCO12-036 intersected 8.7 metres of 8.2 g/t Au including 2.6 metres of 26.9 g/t Au and has confirmed high-grade gold mineralization at Guaico to a vertical depth of 400 metres. This mineralization is seventy (70) metres vertically below previously announced drill result from drill hole GCO12-029 which included 6.6 metres of 10.2 g/t Au including 1.8 metres of 33.2 g/t Au (See Press Release dated September 27, 2012). The mineralization defined above is a new discovery made in 2012 and confirms additional mineralized en-echelon vein systems occurring in the footwall and at depth relative to the original Guaico discovery. Highlights of drill results for the final five (5) drill holes drilled at Guaico in 2012 can be found in Table 1 below. The 2012 drill hole locations are illustrated in Figure 1 and a Section view illustrating results of drill hole GCO12-036 and previously released GCO12-029 (Figure 2) are attached and can be found on the company's website; link to www.antioquiagoldinc.com.
Table-1 Highlights of Final Drill Hole Results; Guaico Deposit
Guayabito Deposit Final Results:
The final four (4) drill holes at Guayabito were designed to extend the Guayabito deposit further to the north along strike and to depth. All four (4) drill holes intersected the intended mineralization. Drill hole GYB12-086 intersected 6.2 metres of 6.3 g/t Au including 2.5 metres of 15.0 g/t Au. Results of the final four drill holes at Guayabito confirm the deposit extends to the north and to depth and remains open further along strike to the north and to depth. Highlights of the final four drill holes at Guayabito are listed in Table 2 below and all 2012 drill hole locations are illustrated in Figure 3.
Table-2 Highlights of Final Drill Hole Results; Guayabito Deposit
"The 2012 drilling program at Cisneros has been very successful" comments Rick Thibault, President and CEO; "We have greatly increased our knowledge base of the Guayabito and Guaico deposits and are extremely encouraged with the improving grade with depth at Guaico. We have been able to significantly increase the overall size of these deposits through effective drilling along strike and to depth".

With speculation about forthcoming Star Wars movies reaching boiling point, we think it's time to sit back, take a breath, and ask, "WHAT ABOUT INDIANA JONES?" As has been widely reported, George Lucas has handed over his brainchild LucasFilm to Disney for a cool $4 billion, with the studio giant signalling itself intention to go ahead and make further the Stars Wars saga.
Of course, the sci-fi franchise will be Disney's main priority in terms of what they've got for their money, but they now own the rights to Indiana Jones too, which has pulled in nearly $1.9 million at the domestic box office. Despite scathing reviews, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still pulled in $786.6 million in 2008, proving demand for the franchise is anything but dead. Disney already had two hugely popular Indiana theme parks, the Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland in California and the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando. On paper, a new movie appears to be a no-brainer, though things are a little more complicated in reality.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Disney chief Bob Iger said there were "some encumbrances" to monetizing Indiana Jones and Steven Spielberg isn't exactly jumping at the chance to direct adventure-action films at the moment. During a recent interview in promotion of his Lincoln biopic, he explained, "I knew I could do the action in my sleep. At this point in my career, in my life, the action doesn't hold any - it doesn't attract me anymore." Should Lincoln go on to win Golden Globes and Oscars, we could probably rule a new Indiana Jones movie out, straight away.
Producer Frank Marshall has already gone on record as saying Crystal Skull was Indie's "last hurrah", telling Collider.com that despite murmurings of a new movie "there's no idea [for a story]; there's no MacGuffin," and we don't have to remind you that Harrison Ford - who looked pretty old in the last movie - is now 70-years-old. Also, Shia LaBeouf has said he is "done" with big budget movies.
So, we'll just have to wait and see what comes of Indiana Jones' future, though spare a thought for the old adventurer when you're drooling over new Star Wars movies.

Thanks Brad! That's very useful and *almost* does what I want. The only
problem is that by doing it that way,
the authentication seems to be delayed by one page view: In other words, I
hit Login in my login control. The code works, and my login control calls
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie() from the Page_Load() function. The
trouble is, by that point it's too late: Lots of my other controls have
already executed Page_Load, displaying their contents on the assumption that
we are not logged in. Even worse, even *after* calling SetAuthCookie(),
my login control still doesn't seem to realise that it's now logged in.
Request.IsAuthenticated still returns false. I'm guessing it's dependent on
having actually read in the cookie from the request. Of course if I hit
Refresh in the browser, or click on a link to go to another page, then it
all works.
Is there any way to make sure that the action of servicing any login request
is the first thing the page does, before any of the controls on the page
execute Page_Load()? (I guess if I can do that, I can at least then set some
static member of some class to say that we are now authenticated, to get
round the problem that Request.Authenticated is returning false).

Jason Wood
From BR Bullpen
Jason William Wood
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 1", Weight 200 lb.
- School Fresno City College, California State University, Fresno
- High School McLane High School (Fresno)
- Debut April 1, 1998
- Final Game April 2, 2008
- Born December 16, 1969 in San Bernardino, CA USA
[edit] Biographical Information
Originally, Jason Wood was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 56th round (1333rd overall) of the 1988 amateur draft. Opting not to sign with the Blue Jays, he was then drafted in the 39th round (1009th) of the 1990 amateur draft by the Atlanta Braves. Still, he did not sign. Finally, after being drafted in the 11th round (308th) of the 1991 amateur draft by the Oakland Athletics, he decided to sign.
Wood, who had fair power, started off his professional career on a bumpy road - in three out of his first five minor league seasons, he had a batting average in the .230s. He did improve after a few years, hitting .321 in 1997. Near the middle of October, 1997, Wood was granted free agency. About 10 days later, he was re-signed by the Athletics.
On September 9, 2006, Wood played for the Florida Marlins in his first Major League game since October 1, 1999.
Wood pitched a total of 2 innings in his minor league career, all in 1996. He has an ERA of 0.00. He pitched one inning in the majors on June 29, 2007 for the Marlins against the Atlanta Braves. In the top of the ninth with his club behind 12-3, Wood set down Brian McCann, Jeff Francoeur and Kelly Johnson in order to record a perfect lifetime ERA of 0.00.
He did not have very much success in spring training - in 2003 and 2004 with the Marlins, he had a combined batting average of .094. In 1998, Wood earned $170,000. In 1999, he earned $210,000. Wood has worn four different uniform numbers - 39 with the Athletics, 43 with the Tigers in 1998, 32 with the Tigers in 1999, and 28 with the Marlins in 2006.
He currently lives in Fresno, California. Wood was hitting coach of the Bakersfield Blaze in 2009-2010.
On July 23, 2011 Wood was inducted into the Albuquerque Professional Baseball Hall of Fame for his achievements over five seasons with the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes.
Currently, Wood is a minor league manager. He has worked with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, the Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Texas Rangers in the Carolina League in 2010. In 2011, the Pelicans won the Carolina League Southern Division first-half title to clinch a postseason berth in Wood's managerial debut.

Richard Linklater Explains His Secret Movie Boyhood

Perhaps the most oft-quoted line from Zack Snyder's cinematic adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel 300 is "Tonight, we dine in hell!" Chowing down on a box of Butterfinger Minis during a screening of Meet the Spartans, you will truly understand what that line means.
You remember 300, right? A ridiculously self-serious bunch of oiled-up, seminude muscular Spartans battling against deformed Persians through sepia filters in slo-mo . . . in many ways, it seemed slightly gay. No doubt you heard the jokes. No doubt you made some of them. But you most likely didn't think an entire movie could be made from those mild titters.
Writer/director team Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have no such inhibitions. To this deadly duo, there is no joke so lame it can't be repeated. Did you hear the one about how Donald Trump wears a wig? That Paris Hilton's a spoiled bitch? Or even—get this—Britney Spears might be crazy? Friedberg and Seltzer have, and once again, they prove themselves to be the cinematic equivalent of that annoying friend of yours who thinks repeating the jokes he saw last night on TV is the funniest damn thing ever. The terrible twosome should have stopped working after their 1996 screenwriting breakthrough Spy Hard, in which Leslie Nielsen reenacted scenes from such box-office hits as Pulp Fiction and True Lies, with less than half the energy and wit of the source material. (Nielsen's presence in such movies used to be mandatory; nowadays, Carmen Electra is the one who shows up every time.)
Alas, they somehow hooked up with the Wayans brothers and became two of the six writers of Scary Movie, a spoof that was genuinely funny, in large part because it imposed a raunchy black perspective on the traditionally white-bread slasher genre. Just a guess here, but it seems that was mostly the doing of Wayans Shawn and Marlon. The remaining two writers, Phil Beauman and Buddy Johnson, would later write Not Another Teen Movie, which had moderate laughs; now by themselves again—and directing their own scripts—Friedberg and Seltzer promptly crapped out Date Movie and Epic Movie, which once again turned out to actually contain fewer laughs than the material being satirized.
Meet the Spartans is a mild improvement over Epic Movie, which is like saying a debilitating fever is more fun than appendicitis. But at least Spartans mostly sticks to spoofing one movie, rather than trying to string together random scenes. Yes, Shrek and Spider-Man show up, but as asides rather than the main event, a 300 parody that appears to have been conceived when Friedberg and Seltzer decided it would just be awesomely cool to have King Leonidas kick every annoying celebrity in the world into a bottomless pit. Can't fit it into the story? No problem—just run endless outtakes during the credits. So down go Britney, Dane Cook, Ellen DeGeneres, the judges of American Idol, Sanjaya . . . This might be an entertaining time-waster as a flash game on some website you're screwing around on while pretending to work, but paying $10 or more for it on the big screen is idiotic. In all fairness, Ike Barinholtz's Dane Cook impersonation, honed on MADtv, is decent, and the fact that Tom Cruise's Scientology beliefs are mentioned out loud and mocked is a somewhat bold move, one that may end up getting Friedberg and Seltzer blacklisted in Hollywood. (Hate to side with L. Ron Hubbard's crew, but let's hope so.)
Mostly, what's shocking about Meet the Spartans is how lazy it is, which is a shame for former U.K. child star/pop singer Sean Maguire, whose Gerard Butler impersonation is spot-on. But aside from the obvious gay jokes ("I Will Survive" performed twice, heh heh), what remains is an endless array of product placements masquerading as self-referential humor-Dentyne, Gatorade, Hooters, Red Bull, and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf are only the most obvious-and movie references that Seltzer and Friedberg don't even trust the audience to get. Casting Borat's Ken Davitian as King Xerxes works as a sight gag, but it's not enough just to show it; the narrator has to say "Xerxes. He looked a lot like that fat guy from Borat." Likewise, when Carmen Electra dons a black Spider-Man suit, the very same narrator has to tell us that she's "like Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 3."
And then there are jokes cribbed from other comedians. The chastity belt gag from Robin Hood: Men in Tights. A live-action Grand Theft Auto bit that Dave Chappelle did better. A stand-off involving "Yo mama" jokes. Even Carlos Mencia is more discerning than this.
There are more 300 parodies on the way, and while there's no reason to hope the National Lampoon version will be any better, Costa Mesa-based twins David and Daniel Holechek have one heading to DVD in a month or so called 305 that not only replicates the look of the source material more effectively on a lower budget, but also understands that even in a parody movie, the characters and story need to make some kind of sense. Meanwhile, Friedberg and Seltzer apparently have something in the works called Raunchy Movie. Can we kick them into the bottomless pit next?
Meet the Spartans was written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. Now playing. Countywide.

Charleroi fire deemed 'suspicious'
State and Charleroi Regional police are investigating a small porch fire that broke out Tuesday evening in Charleroi, according to the borough's fire chief.
Charleroi Fire Chief Robert Whiten said the fire had been extinguished by the time his company responded around 9 p.m. at 710 Crest Ave.
Whiten said a section of wooden lattice had caught fire on a rear porch of the two-story residence that houses three families.
Whiten said one of the residents purportedly heard a noise on the porch, looked out and saw the fire before putting it out with a pot of water.
Whiten said the fire was "suspicious in nature" and that a state police fire marshal would investigate the incident further on Wednesday.

All Memphis starters got to rest in the fourth quarter against the Lakers, so not so much hope they will be fatigued. Rather, they'll be pissed that they got beat down by the Lakers (I saw the game, was much the same as Sunday night.)
This will be a good opportunity to see how good a defender D. Wright is, as Rudy Gay was the only Grizzly lighting it up against LA.
Conley doesn't look great - Steph would own him - but he looked quick (though Blake will make a lot of pgs look quick), and dealing with his penetration will be the other key to W's defense.
The big question is who starts in the backcourt with Ellis. D Wright should definitely match up with Gay, and so probably Reggie on OJ and Monta on Conley. Hopefully Monta gets steals and not early reach-around fouls as Conley tries to cross him over or blow by him.
Biedrins v. Gasol should be interesting.
W's win if Lee has the monster bounce-back game I expect with Randoloph out.
I Believe - that Curry and Monta are gonna have a lot of fun playing together for many years to come.
I Believe - we will be the most improved team in the league next year.

Looks like curry will be out. I don't think that is a bad idea. As a matter of fact we should make sure he is fully healthy. I would say to start Lin but I hate to say this however our home crowd puts way too much pressure on the kid. Look for R Williams to start and between him and Monta, I expect lots of minutes only for those two at the guard position, that is unless we get into foul trouble.

I disagree with both Lin and Williams starting ... Williams screws the rotation (the only guy off the bench that can give Monta a blow and score at will on second teamers) .. Lin shouldn't start because he just looks rattle against top NBA talent. Start BW (and good luck for Conley taking his man off the dribble into a sea of trees). Wright can guard Gay at the perimeter and funnel his drives into Biedrins or Wright. In addition to winning small ball .. we may need a team that can win with size, so take advantage of the Curry injury and tinker with a bigger lineup.

I hear ya! I like Williams off the bench better too. However, by starting BWright you are throwing Monta at the Point Position. I think that is a bad move. Not that Monta can't do it, but I think so far this season he is by far our best player, and best option at shooting guard (Don't think anyone here would disagree with that). Not starting Williams I understand because you are right on about giving Monta a break here and there. Plus Williams give our bench the fire power we desperately need. But starting Monta at PG just not ideal. In terms of Lin being rattled, you right about that! Only way to not get rattle is to play and get more experience. Since he is a pesky defender, I think it works out really well especially if you have him on Conley.

Think they'll pick up another serviceable PG for occasions (hopefully few) when Curry is injured or out for fouls? Seems to me if you don't, then you go back to having no choice but to have Monta dominate the ball which could become habit-forming. Hope Lin succeeds, but think that it's asking a lot of undersized underdeveloped rookie to step in in that situation & others don't appear to be capable.

Let Nellie continue his business of guard development, but for our Warrior team to sniff and approach the playoffs it needs bigs that can produce. We tried for 3rd and 4th tier point guards and whiffed. I can't blame Lacob for going cheap ... after paying a lot of money for a sorry franchise ... I am completely confused on what people think Ellis should be doing ... they are so many 2's Jordan, Kobe, Iggy, AI ... that dominate the ball ... he ain't Nash or Kidd but Ellis needs to have the ball for quick transition offense, bring up the ball, pick and roll, and no undrafted rookie point guard should or will change that.

I partly agree with you Dleague. Ellis is at his best when playing off the ball, but I thik there is no choice here. We take too much away from R. Williams game when he is playing the point.
From the interview with coach Smart to me it seems like he is gonna go with a starting line up of Ellis, Carney, D. Wright, Lee, Beans. And then ask for about 10 minutes from Lin at the PG spot (probably while Conley is out). R Williams comes in and can score off the bench and play some 2 and 3. That leaves his usually sub. pattern for the bigs, Vlad/B. Wright at PF and Gad at the 5. I am not saying that this is what I would do, but I think that this is what he is gonna do.
If Lee can dominate the PF matchup, and D. Wright can contain Gay, then we will win.
Ellis should be able to dominate the PG Match up and Beans should be able to hold his own on Marc (just don't double off of Mayo or Gay). Carney should be able to play decent D agains Mayo and keep him in front of him, he has the height and quickness advantage. Since Randolph is out then Lee should be able to dominate Arthur. Lee has more hustle and more game. I think we win this event without curry.

if it's a gametime decision for curry, i'd rather much have him sit out... there'll be 78 more games left in this season after tonights game, and not having him for a long stretch will hurt us more than not having him for a game, two, or three... we need him for the long haul

Rad providing well needed all around bench effort, overall team effort is way more active than the Lakers game when they looked passive.

Well, after researching for a day, I picked up a bike. It's a good fit and the frame was solid and it was only $25 so I couldn't pass it up but I'm not sure what it is. It has stickers on it that it says Aragon, before I stripped it of everything the rear derailer was a Suntour Honor and I googled it, that specific component set was from '71 and '72 or atleast thats what I found.
Also, I'm a little confused on what to do to make it single speed. I have the wheels it came with, they are 700cc. I thought I could slap on a new set of wheels from a bike from this time period, but I have figured out that the spacing is totally different. So, I know that on this wheelset the hub is a screw on type and not a shimano freehub. They guy at the bike shop told me I would have to re-dish the wheel and it's really more of a hassle, or so he says. He said I could buy a wheel that has a flip flop hub. What do ya'll suggest?
Edit: One more question I forgot, I want to use a front brake on this sucker and a buddy of mine has a 105 front brake laying around he said he would sell to me for $20. Will it work on this bike?

Ecuador May Lose Quarter of Cocoa Harvest After Rainfall
Ecuador, Latin America's second-biggest cocoa producer, will lose about a quarter of its crop this year as floods in the South American nation's coastal region damage plants and delay harvests, an export group said.
Cocoa-bean production will likely decline by about 40,000 metric tons to 130,000 tons and the country's first harvest will be postponed two months until June, Luis Acosta, chief executive officer at Exportaciones Acmansa CA, said in an telephone interview from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Ecuador, which has been producing the raw ingredient used to make chocolate for more than 500 years, declared a state of emergency in five provinces this month after above-average rainfall in the coastal region and southern Andean foothills washed away roads and houses and damaged more than 34,000 hectares (84,000 acres) of crops. Rains are expected to last through May, according to the national weather service.
The harvest "will be much less than last year," Acosta, who runs the country's fifth-largest cocoa exporter, said. "It will begin in June if the rains stop, for the time being there is very little cocoa."
Ecuador exported 164,000 metric tons of cocoa beans last year, according to the country's National Cocoa Exporters Association, known as Anecacao. The London-based International Cocoa Organization, representing 15 producing nations and 29 consuming countries, predicted global output of 3.96 million tons and demand of 3.99 million tons on Feb. 29.
Brazil is Latin America's largest producer of cocoa. Ecuador is the world's top grower of flavored beans used in fine chocolate.
Cocoa futures for May delivery dropped 2.6 percent to $2,295 a metric ton as of 3:19 p.m. in New York.

I had mixed thoughts about using a Garmin 305 with the cadence sensor and heart rate monitor. I was skeptical that it would be nothing more than a toy. However, after a week of riding with it and looking at the data collected, I'm convinced that it will have some real value.
Here's what tipped the scale for me. In looking at my data I was shocked to see how often I stop pedaling during a ride. And with the graphs showing me just when, where and for how long I stopped, I realized my riding could be much smoother. This morning I went out with the specific intent of reducing the number of "non-pedaling" incidents that would show up in my data. With just this simple thing in mind, I've cut them in half and bumped up my average speed almost 0.6 MPH for a measured ride I do frequently.
I fully suspect that as I get deeper into the data (especially heart rate and time in specific zones), I'll do a much more effective job of keeping fit. OK, so it's still a bit for a gadget/toy, but a useful one!

For several categories, and in general, I think this is by far my best result in LD.
So lets tease it apart and get into that post-mortem mood.
#26 Mood
I wanted to learn the Camera Effects now available to everyone in Unity, and I think I did throw in about half of them.
At the same time! Crazy me. Actually, it might have been a bit too crazy since there were several reports of people getting nausea from playing.
There was an obvious attempt to scare and discomfort without using violence (at least not against other entities), but making players ill was more than I wanted.
There is something about mood, when it comes from strange and trippy-land. I thought it wouldn't do to explain much to the player. It was important that the player got to discover. That is a big part of the mood. So when the game doesn't follow all game-convensions it becomes very hard to ease the player the right way.
One nifty thing I partially succeeded with in regards to this was how the game starts.
The player is locked inside a small room (lower left) with a strong visual queue, the first partial goal. The door only opened after that goal was achieved.
However, the position of where the player started in combination with the size of the trigger meant players happened to get the unlock without understanding they've solved the first part.
Even worse, upon completing a part wild-with-crazy-ideas-me though it good to reset players (using exactly the same visuals as for "death"), which meant players didn't even understand that they were progressing.
#68 Audio
This actually makes me more happy about the community than anything. The game doesn't have music. All it has is some random sounds (thanks squeaky boards in my floor), and me attempting some voice acting. I think that should say something to others, like me, that don't really have the talent to make tunes. There are great tools to procedurally generate music, but not all games will do better with those songs.
#165 Innovation
I expect you get some from the fact that it is a strange game.
I think having a rubber chicken that you hit yourself with is a rather novel weapon.
But in general, I'm actually quite happy that I managed to keep the game logic so conventional.
Except, maybe, having health drain fast with movement.
And a bit uncommon with the "weapon". It is a typical, unlimited use melee weapon, but you are the one being hit. So while it makes you calm/gives you health, it also makes health drain faster when you start to move again.
#169 Graphics
I'm not very good at keeping a style, and very new to 3D models.
So, I did crazy number of models:
And stuck to two and a half colors (Grey, yello, and a splash of red)
I've also been playing some Borderlands, and I really wanted that toony-outline style (not visible here, but play the game and you'll see! ^^ ).
#296 Overall | #659 Humor | #728 Fun
I think this points to general communications issues in the game.
People not progressing fast enough, the game should really never take more than 3 minutes to play.
The feedback on what are the partial targets, that the player progressed, where to go if you don't find the target. It all needed to be better.
Though it seems scary, it is actually more of a fun game if you ask me. But it is only fun if it doesn't take too long and you must reach the end.
#785 Theme
This is just wrong. OK, I was very unhappy with the theme because of its center around violence. But I was wrong there. It was a good theme. A great diversity of games were made.
I still think some either can't let go of weapons needing to hurt others. Or that unconventional must be in the mechanics somehow. It would make me sad if that's the case.
So lets hope the blame is on me, because maybe just noticing there's a rubber chicken isn't enough to say it's good theme-wise (though I don't really see why not), but if people didn't really understand what it was doing… then it is on me. It should have been clearer what the chicken did.
And as it happens, I think I've made a version of the game that actually addresses amost all the issues, so if you are in the mood… give it a try:
Me, I can't wait for the next LD! I'm so happy and proud. Next I'll do something even stranger. That's a promise! (And please excuse my sloppy language in this post)

Dan Seaborne: Coventry City cancel defender's contract
Defender Dan Seaborne has left Coventry City by mutual consent, despite only joining on an 18-month deal in January.
The 27-year old initially arrived on loan from Yeovil Town in November, and went on to play 24 matches.
His spell with the Glovers was also a short one as he was signed last summer after their promotion from League One.
Seaborne can play at left-back or centre-half, as can new signing Reda Johnson, who was recently awarded the captaincy by manager Steven Pressley.

Little impact seen in tight contest for White House
NEW YORK Election officials were ordering generators, moving voting locations and figuring out how to transport poll workers displaced from coastal areas as Tuesday's presidential election became the latest challenge for states whacked by Superstorm Sandy.
The storm, which devastated East Coast communities with power outages, flooding and snow, had already disrupted early voting in parts of Maryland, West Virginia, New Jersey and North Carolina. With less than a week to go before the general election, officials in the hardest-hit states were scrambling to ensure orderly and fair balloting in places still dark or under water.
Few expected the tight presidential contest between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney to be affected by voting problems caused by the storm.
Communities along Lake Erie in top battleground Ohio have lost power, but election officials said early voting continued to be robust. The states crippled most by Sandy — New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — are largely Democratic and considered safely in Obama's camp.
But Connecticut has a competitive race to replace retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman, New York has several closely watched House contests, and all three states have other races whose outcomes could rest on voter turnout.
Michael McDonald, a professor of public affairs at George Mason University in Virginia who studies turnout, said a calamitous weather event right before a presidential election was unprecedented. McDonald said that in such a tight presidential race any turnout diminished by Sandy could make a difference in the overall popular vote.
"It's unlikely disruptions from Sandy would affect the outcome of the election within those states," McDonald said. "But if those voters, who are mostly Democrats, end up being subtracted from the national popular vote, you'll get a lower vote share for Obama than he would have received if those people had voted."
With every state along Sandy's destructive path using electronic voting machines, election officials were pressing local electric companies to make restoring power a priority to places that were to serve as polling places.
"We've provided lists of poll sites to local utilities, and some of the voting machines do have battery backup," New York State Board of Elections spokesman Tom Connolly said. "We are also planning to get generators to polling sites, but it's not like we have an unlimited supply of generators."
