It's music to new Indiana Pacers forward Mike Dunleavy Jr.'s ears that he isn't hearing the boos anymore.
Dunleavy was drafted by Golden State with the third overall pick in 2002 after his junior season at Duke. Much was expected from the versatile guard-forward upon arrival to Oakland, Calif., after he was selected before the likes of Amare Stoudemire, Caron Butler, Nene, Oakland's own Drew Gooden and much later in the draft Tayshaun Prince and Carlos Boozer. And with the high pick came expectations Dunleavy would be an NBA all-star.
"People wanted a lot more out of me," Dunleavy said. "I didn't really look at it like that like, 'I'm the third pick and I have to do this.' I just tried to play the right way. What happened happened. It didn't work out. But being the third pick, I earned that."
Dunleavy averaged 5.7 points as a rookie and 11.7 and 13.4 points the next two seasons, respectively. While he had respectable growth, Warriors fans expected a superstar.
Before the 2005-06 season, expectations grew much greater when the Warriors signed him to five-year, $45 million contract. And after Dunleavy started last season slowly, Golden State fans began booing him after any mistake was made at home.
It got so bad that even if he hit several shots in a row he would get booed again once he missed. And even when he had 18 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and a blocked shot in his final Warriors game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Jan. 15, the home fans still booed.
"At first it was disappointing because I am a sports fan," Dunleavy said. "I don't think that's necessary if you're out there playing your (butt) off and trying to help the team win. If you're not playing hard and messing up off the court, I can understand. But it got to be ridiculous. ...
"It affected other people more than it affected me. My teammates, coaches and the staff, it was rattling them more than me."
The booing ended Jan. 18 when Dunleavy, forward Troy Murphy and Ike Diogu and guard Keith McLeod were dealt to Indiana for forward Al Harrington, swingman Stephen Jackson, forward Josh Powell and guard Sarunas Jasikevicius. Dunleavy, whose San Francisco crib is already up for sale, couldn't be happier. The 6-foot-9, 230-pounder averaged 12.7 points, five rebounds and four assists in his first three games with Indiana, numbers slightly better than he had at Golden State this season. He said he never asked Golden State to trade him.
"I always had a feeling that I needed to be moved. It was a big relief," Dunleavy said.
Another team interested in Dunleavy was the Clippers, who are coached by his father, Mike Dunleavy Sr. Rumors still persist about a potential exchange for Clippers swingman Corey Maggette. But if you thought the pressure of playing in Golden State was tough, imagine what it would be like playing for Pops. Junior feels such a situation could be "shaky."
"It's not so much the pressure," Dunleavy Jr. said. "It just can be an awkward situation. Here I have a fresh start. Normal. Just one of the guys on the team. It's a clean slate.
"If I played for my dad it's a whole different realm. It's a new team. But how do you deal with relationships with teammates? There is a lot of different variables."
After a tumultuous tenure in Oakland, Dunleavy is now in bliss in Indianapolis.
The slender swingman is not playing out of position at power forward anymore. The draft is old news there. And with a huge need in Indiana for clean-cut guys without a rap sheet, he is exactly what the Pacers needed. The booing? It won't return until he is in tough Oakland again.
"I honestly tried my best. It didn't work out. It's best for me and the Warriors," he said.
The Boston Celtics are the front-runner to land Memphis center Pau Gasol. The Celtics are dangling talented young forward Al Jefferson and several draft picks. Memphis is desperately trying to cut costs. ... Word is that the formula to land swingman Maggette via trade is a decent veteran, a good young player and a future first-round pick. ... BDA Sports vice president of marketing Bill Sanders laughed at the rumor that Houston Rockets all-star center Yao Ming, one of his company's clients, was dating actress Nia Long. "If he is dating Nia Long, then I'm dating Paris Hilton," Sanders said. ... Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony's fiancée, La La Vasquez, said last week that her pregnancy was going well and that her baby boy was on schedule to be born soon after NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas in February. ... One NBA agent said rumblings that Ohio State center Greg Oden is seriously considering staying in school are getting louder. Once Oden decides to go pro, expect him to be represented by his AAU coach and former Olympic champion Mike Conley. Conley also is rumored to likely represent Duke sophomore forward Josh McRoberts if he leaves school early. ... Former Colorado forward Chris Copeland recently was signed by Fort Worth of the NBADL. ... One NBA draft prospect sleeper to watch is Virginia State's Avis Wyatt, a 6-11, 230-pound senior center.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant
Comment: Bryant has led the Lakers to a winning record with the team's only other upper-echelon player, Lamar Odom, out with an injury. He also is making his teammates better. Washington's Gilbert Arenas, Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki and Phoenix's Steve Nash deserve mention.
Phil Jackson, Los Angeles Lakers
Comment: No Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. No Shaq and Kobe. It's just Kobe and role players, and Jackson has the Lakers winning. Dallas' Avery Johnson, Denver's George Karl and Phoenix's Mike D'Antoni deserve mention.
Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Martin
Comment: Martin has nearly doubled his scoring average to 20.5 per game through Friday and has nicely filled Bonzi Wells' shoes as a scoring threat. The Lakers' Luke Walton, Denver's J.R. Smith and Utah's Carlos Boozer deserve mention.
Nuggets center Marcus Camby
Comment: Camby was second in the NBA in defensive rebounds per game (9.8) through Friday, was third in blocked shots per game (2.9) and second in rebounds per 48 minutes (18.2). Without him, Denver isn't a playoff team. Charlotte's Emeka Okafor, Phoenix's Shawn Marion and Minnesota's Kevin Garnett deserve mention.
Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon
Comment: Gordon is averaging a team-best 21.3 points off the bench. Only one sixth man, Milwaukee's Ricky Pierce in 1989-90, has led his team in scoring. Phoenix guard Leandro Barbosa was also considered.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy
Comment: Even with an early-season injury, Roy has locked down the award in a weak rookie class. The former University of Washington star plays like a veteran and is averaging 14.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists through Friday's games.
Background: The 11-year NBA veteran has never been an all-star. Missing 16 games before Western Conference coaches voted for reserves last season likely cost the 6-foot-11, 235-pounder an all-star roster spot despite solid statistics. He finished last season averaging 12.8 points, career-highs of 11.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game and led the NBA with 3.29 blocked shots per game. "I broke my finger and missed an extended period of time," Camby said. "I've seen other guys make it with injuries."
What's up: Camby is the West's most deserving true center candidate. He is averaging 12.3 points, an NBA-leading 12.5 rebounds, ranked third in blocked shots per game (2.9) and also averaged 2.9 assists. If the NBA goes with a true center to replace Houston's Yao Ming, who was voted in by the fans, Camby's biggest competition will be Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire while Utah's Mehmet Okur is a dark horse. Stoudemire is averaging 18.7 points, 9.1 rebounds and ranked third in the NBA in field-goal percentage (.605). While talented, Stoudemire's offensive numbers are strongly aided by two-time MVP guard Steve Nash. Camby ranks 14th in NBA efficiency rating (23.53) while Stoudemire is 21st (22.1).
"I would love to make the (West all-star) team," Camby said. "But I'm not going to cross my fingers and be let down."
What's next: NBA commissioner David Stern will pick Yao's replacement. Western Conference coaches will pick seven West all-star reserves who will be announced Thursday. Camby will be hurt by tough competition from a long list of deserving forwards, including Denver's Carmelo Anthony, Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki, Utah's Carlos Boozer, Phoenix's Shawn Marion, Dallas' Josh Howard and the Los Angeles Clippers' Elton Brand. Could Denver have three all-stars in a likely addition of guard Allen Iverson, Anthony and Camby? Iverson and Anthony strongly overshadow Camby in popularity and media attention.
"They are great players that will be on the team," Camby said about Iverson and Anthony. "I get overshadowed a lot."
Spears' take: Camby flat out deserves to be there. If the West coaches truly weigh the statistics and importance to the team, he will be there. Camby played a key role in the Nuggets staying afloat during Anthony's 15-game suspension. Unfortunately, politics and a long list of competition in the talented West will hurt him.
Camby: Ewing the best
Nuggets forward Marcus Camby has played with numerous superstars during his 11-year NBA career. Camby lists Patrick Ewing as the best and declined to rank his other four favorites.
* Carmelo Anthony
* Patrick Ewing
* Allan Houston
* Allen Iverson
* Latrell Sprewell

Even though Fulton carried a 4-1 record into this game with the Rams, it hardly mattered. In the bottom of the third, J-D erupted for nine runs, and followed that up with a seven-run fourth inning to make it 16-0.
Nine different Rams players drove in runs as part of a 20-hit attack. Robens, with three hits and four RBIs, led the way, while Devereaux had a single, double and three RBIs. Thompson and Erica Siegel each drove in two runs as Maggie Austin had three hits and four runs scored. Keeler (who pitched six innings and struck out eight) and Cantor also had three-hit outings.
CBA wasted little time jumping on Homer, scoring twice in the first inning and three times in the next two frames for an 8-0 lead, more than enough for Sheridan, who held the Trojans to three hits and struck out 10.
Valerino tore it up at the plate, going three-for-five, including a pair of doubles, and earning four RBIs. Magnareli added two hits and two RBis, with Sheridan and Ariana Cavallaro each driving in single runs.
In Saturday's action, the Brothers went to Cortland, where it trailed late in the contest before some clutch production at the plate helped beat the Purple Tigers 5-4.
An early 2-0 lead vanished when Cortland got three runs off Sheridan in the bottom of the third, and added a run in the fifth. Now trailing 4-2, the Brothers used a run in the sixth to get close and, in the seventh, put across the tying and go-ahead runs.
Sheridan blanked the Purple Tigers in the bottom of the seventh and earned the win, adding 14 more strikeouts to her total as she held Cortland to five hits.
J-D, meanwhile, struggled in a 7-3 defeat to Rochester Mercy. It was close before Mercy, up 3-2, added three runs in the fifth, more than the Rams could overcome as Keeler gave up 10 hits.

It's a chilly moonless night. You take off through the forest to get some cross-country skiing in when no other skiers are on the trail to interrupt you. The recent snowfall muffles all sounds, including the sound of your impending doom. Death takes wing, circling you in the night. With the faintest hint of the sound of feathers, death swoops toward you, razor-sharp talons heading directly for your soft, exposed neck. Have you made peace with your God? Because the Killer Owl of Bangor is about to bring you peace eternal.
Over the past month, a rogue great horned owl has been attacking skiers in the forest of Bangor, Maine. At least eight skiers and a few dogs have been set upon by the serial scratcher, who has caused lacerations but no serious injuries. Yet.
Jim Allen of Bangor said he was skiing in the dark on East Trail in the Rolland F. Perry City Forest when he got hit."I've got my headlamp on, and all of a sudden, I felt a whack in the back of my head and this stinging, and I understood what everybody was talking about," said Allen, said he who screamed and waved his poles.
"They say … there's no sound at all when an owl flies. So you don't hear them coming," he said. "I believe it. Because I never knew anything was coming. I was just skiing merrily along."
Authorities have posted signs around the forest warning of owl attacks, but let's face facts. If this owl wants you dead, you're already dead.
"It's the boldest noctural raptor and the one that has the best reputation for the occasionally bizarre," said Charlie Todd, a wildlife biologist with the state Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
So lock your doors, keep your children and pets inside, and say your prayers. The Killer Owl of Bangor is watching you.

In her latest "The Business Rusch" column, Kristine Kathryn Rusch calls attention to the fact that this year a reporting Pulitzer went to an online-only publication, the Huffington Post, for the first time ever. Most traditional news outlets have been concentrating on the fact that no fiction Pulitzer was awarded this year, because (Mrs. Rusch posits) the Huffington Post news scared them.
Rusch points out that even if the Post is a non-traditional publication, the reporter who penned the story is a 66-year-old seasoned journalist who has worked for many traditional publications in his time—and uses the "traditional writer for a non-traditional publication" point (as well as the fact that the Huffington Post also broke some indie publishing-related news recently) to segue into a discussion about self-/independent publishing versus "traditional" publishing for writers—an old favorite topic she has discussed many times already.
The indie publishing news that HuffPo broke is that Boyd Morrison, the self-published author who signed a two-book deal with Simon & Schuster in 2009 and went on to publish two more books with them, has been dropped from his 3-book contract with S&S because his books haven't been selling well enough. Morrison's UK publisher, Little, Brown, will still be publishing the book there, and he will be self-publishing the American edition instead.
Rusch suggests that this was probably in some sense inevitable, because Morrison's contract represented publishing's latest "fad"—jumping on indie publishing sensations with unrealistic advances in the expectation that if they sold that well independently they could sell immensely better with the traditional publishing machine behind them. However, this expectation turns out to have been unrealistic, at least in terms of return on investment—Rusch thinks Morrison's sales were better than his indie books had sold, but not enough better to make back the huge advances she guesses the publisher paid him.
From the looks of what happened to Morrison, his books didn't do a hell of a lot better through a traditional publisher than they had from an indie publisher. The fact that S&S canceled his contract meant that the claim that the book needed a hefty revision was just an excuse. They were losing a lot of money on this contract, and they wanted it off their financial books.
Expect to see more of these kinds of stories in the future. As Morrison says, he was the first indie author to get a traditional publishing deal. Now he's the first indie author to get dumped by a traditional publisher for not performing to expectations. Of course, the expectations weren't his, but that publisher's, but when has traditional publishing ever owned up for its own errors?
And part of that error may have been a failure on the part of the publisher to push Morrison's books sufficiently to boost their sales S&S paid too much for the book's independent sales, but not enough to make it worth going to much trouble to publicize it And she adds that St Martin's Press doesn't seem to be doing much better publicizing the Amanda Hocking books for which it paid $2 million a few months ago.
Rusch writes that traditional publishing contracts are becoming less and less appealing because of the litany of restrictions they foist upon authors without offering them equally substantial benefits in return: loss of years of copyright, a restriction against publishing "competing" works elsewhere, and other gotchas. Lately, she has been pushing back, insisting on a limited license in the works she publishes through traditional publishers, so that she can choose to terminate it at the end of the ten-year license period. A number of publishers aren't going for it, but that's all right with Rusch because she finds she can usually do better publishing those works on her own.
Next, she calls foul on Penguin global digital directory Molly Barton's assertion (made in a Digital Book World article I plan to cover separately next) that "the largest expense [in e-book production] is author payment and always has been."
Most writers get paid $,5000 to $20,000 as an advance on their book. They get 25% of gross (theoretically) for their royalties after that $5,000 to $20,000 gets met, if creative accounting allows it to ever get met. If that's the largest expense on an e-book for a traditional publisher—larger than their overhead—then e-books truly are cheap to produce.
And if publishers see that as the largest expense, Rusch suspects, they will find more excuses to pay authors less and lock them into tighter contractual restrictions, while failing to own up to their own errors when indie-published authors' works fail to sell well in the legacy publishing mainstream. "Better that traditional publishers believe that indie books don't translate," she writes. "That'll protect more writers from the insanity to come."
I was actually linked to this post from a blog post by novelist Mark Terry (found via The Passive Voice) comparing the $250 royalty check he got for six months of sales through a traditional publisher to the $1,013 check he got from Amazon for one month of e-book sales. While he's not getting rich, Terry writes, he is paying the bills a lot more easily from what he makes out of Amazon. So as far as he's concerned, traditional publishing is dead to him.
It kind of reminds me of that line from Star Wars about more star systems slipping through the Empire's fingers the more it tightens its grasp. If publishers' reaction to the changing times is to pay less and restrict more, it's not surprising that independent publishing is getting a boost. Just as their insistence on DRM is helping Amazon, their insistence on more restrictions and less payout may be driving more authors into the self-publishing camp.

Pandora will increase fees for its ad-free service by $1 a month to almost $5 a month in May, a move to cover the rising cost of licensing tunes that may annoy some longtime fans of the popular music-streaming service.
The company, which streams music from virtual radio stations to mobile devices such as Apple's iPhone or Google Android smartphones, said in a Tuesday blog post that royalties paid to artists had risen 53 percent over the past five years and will rise another 9 percent in 2015.
The increase of $1 to $4.99 a month takes effect for new subscribers in May. Existing monthly subscribers will not be forced to accept the higher charges for now, it said without elaborating.
Annual subscriptions will be discontinued, however. Yearly subscribers paying $36 a year currently will move to a monthly, $3.99 "loyalty" plan once their memberships expire.
Pandora said the fee hikes should affect an estimated 3.3 million of its 250 million registered listeners, the bulk of whom tune in to the free, ad-supported service.
"The costs of delivering this service have grown considerably," Pandora said in its blog post. "We hope that you understand why we have taken these steps. Our goal is to continue to be your go-to internet radio destination."
Pandora is already one of the world's most popular streaming music services, though it has plenty of competitors, including Spotify and Apple's iTunes Radio. It's also aggressively investing in local sales forces to sell ad spots and on expanding its four-year-old service.
The company said active listeners in January fell to 73.4 million from 76.2 million in December, due to normal seasonality.
However, year-over-year active listeners were up 12 percent.

A female Bengal tigress gave birth to cubs known as ligers. The dad is a male African lion named Simba. The three liger cubs were born in Taiwan on Sunday at the World Snake King Education Farm in Tainan County in the south. Two of the cubs survived and are being hand reared by zoo staff after their mom rejected them.
According to the Taipei-based Apple Daily, there are only around 10 surviving ligers in the world, with adult ligers capable of growing much larger than average lions.
Animal rights groups have criticized the zoo's owner Huang Kuo-nan for the illegal crossbreeding, and he faces a fine for breeding wildlife without prior approval.
He insists it was unintentional. "The pregnancy of the tigress caught me totally unprepared," Huang said. "The lion and the tigress have been kept in the same cage since they were cubs more than six years ago, and nothing happened."

Tasty Tidbit: According to UK scientists, it's true! A food plan that includes a bounty of fruits and vegetables can help our bodies produce its own salicyclic acid (SA), the material formed when aspirin breaks down in the body.
The how of it.
A recent study noted in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry showed that participants who received benzoic acid, a natural substance found in fruits and vegetables, manufactured their own salicyclic acid. SA is the primary component in aspirin that produces anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
Further, researchers revealed that SA levels in vegetarians were found to be very high.
The studies concluded that we can produce SA!

Powers is a cheesy action romp, but I'll still watch it
Mar 09
// Chris Carter
Described as an "edgy, dramatic series" (I'm a sucker for drama, not so much for the edge if it has to be advertised), Powers focuses on two detectives that investigate crimes of a super-powered nature. The show is going for a Hancock-vibe, where those with powers may not have a propensity for being heroic and are a bit more nuanced. Or in some cases, downright criminal. On paper, Powers has a rather impressive cast. It's not front-loaded with Hollywood stars, but pretty much everyone involved has a long history in TV. That said, lead actor Sharlto Copley is no stranger to the big screen -- just look no further than his meek role in District 9 as Wikus, or his domineering turn as Agent Kruger in Elysium. The supporting cast is also fairly impressive, boasting the always great Eddie Izzard as one of Copley's mysterious old associates, or Noah Taylor as chain-smoking teleporter Johnny Royalle. The production pedigree is also enticing, with comic writers Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming at the helm. Copley plays the role of Christian Walker, a superhero-turned-detective formerly known as "Diamond" who now works to bring down those with abilities who break the law. Much of the narrative is hinged on Walker's struggle to cope with having a normal life due to the loss of his powers, and with Copley's effortless charm, this gimmick mostly works. He has the beginnings of chemistry with partner Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward), but I'm far from sold on the longevity of their relationship. Walker kind of just accepts his new younger partner right off the bat, partially through pure apathy. There's no annoying "you don't understand, rookie" hurdle to cross, but there's also a strong lack of emotional attachment both on and off the screen. Because of this though there's a distinct lack of a dynamic between them, and any and all conflict stems from Walker's own personal struggle. [embed]288658:57639:0[/embed] Powers may be super, but it does operate under the framework of a police procedural -- though it is thankfully shying away from "villain of the week" for now. Noah Taylor is interesting as chain-smoking teleporter Johnny Royalle, and Izzard's character is central to the overarching plot as well as Walker's hero's journey. As most avid TV-watchers know, dramas often have an underlying hook to keep viewers interested week to week, and the producers have attempted to do that with Calista, played by Olesya Rulin. As a "wannabe" who thinks she has latent powers, she's stuck between a rock and a hard place with Walker and Royalle, who try to bend her to each of their wills. Copley's character, ultimately, is my hook. Elsewhere in the show though the lore is worth exploring, like the origin of certain character's powers, and the possibility of learning how said powers are granted or "discovered" in the first place.With the source material running for so long, there's plenty of storylines to draw from. On a macro-level, Powers is also in part a commentary on the current era we live in, from millennial entitlement to the lack of privacy facilitated by the age of handheld technology. Walker notes that "back in his day" growing up with powers, his friends would go on patrol and strive to "be something." Driving through a youth gathering in the present day, he sees them partying and laments the new generation. It's all fairly trite and not particularly "new" given how other programs do it better. The only benefit is the occasional amusing "TMZ-esque" vignette from guest stars like Mario Lopez. While I'm not a fan of the phrase "edge," there is a fair bit of violence, swearing, and sex to elevate it above what would normally be considered acceptable on network TV -- so giving it a home on the PSN is a smart move. On a technical level the effects are practical, and never really border on the level of cheese that the soap-opera drama sometimes achieves. Royale's teleportation effect is clean and amusing (complete with a signature "pop" sound), and there's some impressive CG aerial work. The balance of effects is spot-on as Powers is not keen to overdo it, but gives you enough of a spark to keep you interested. Each episode is roughly 45 minutes in length, and at that runtime it has a propensity to overstay its welcome if it ends up giving us filler -- though I think we're safe for now. Aging fans of Heroes will have plenty to enjoy with Powers, as they're already used to plenty of soap-storylines. While I wouldn't necessary run out to recommend it to the general public, I will be watching it week to week to see where Copley's character ends up. You can stream the first episode here on March 10, purchase it on the PlayStation Store as each episode debuts, or if you have PlayStation Plus, you'll get it for free as it airs.

Casting The Legend of Zelda: A Netflix television series
Feb 06
// Kyle MacGregor
Ryan Gosling as Link Gosling is the perfect leading man. He's a total crowd-pleaser, blonde, handsome, and already has the silent protagonist thing down pat. Did you see Drive? It was great. Gosling stood around looking pretty for about 100 minutes and hardly said a word. What more could you want in a Link? Willem Dafoe as Ganondorf Dafoe is a fan favorite around these parts, and I'm clearly not above pandering to my audience. Just think of the potential for cross-promotion with the Dafoeverse. Think of the possibilities! He's also a skilled actor, you know, one adept at playing the villain. It's truly a match made in heaven. Aubrey Plaza as Zelda Good lord, this needs to happen. Plaza is just the best. She's not going to allow herself to be damseled either. She's liable to lock Gosling in a broom closet somewhere before proceeding to gallivant around Hyrule, rolling her eyes and spewing deadpan, sarcastic one-liners all the way. Horse as Epona Look, we're already over budget and it's not like Mister Ed (or more updated reference) is going to add all that much to the production. Any old horse will do. I'd even be okay with a pony. Morgan Freeman as Navi (or other sidekick) Okay, let's take that cash we skimped on Epona and splurge on Link's sidekick. Since it's probably going to be something supernatural, we're really only looking for voice talent. This makes Morgan Freeman is the only logical choice. Let's put it this way: If the man can send shivers down my spine by saying "More people go with Visa," then just imagine what he can do with "Hey! Listen!"

Dream cast: I want these actors for Netflix's live-action Legend of Zelda
Feb 06
// Steven Hansen
Kristen Stewart as Zelda I'm leading with a bit of a dark horse here, but I think Kristen Stewart would be great as the series' titular lead, Zelda. With the show being more narrative-based than the games, acting chops outweigh nailing a look. Stewart has evinced the former post Twilight (and, really, before Twilight too) despite her internet meme status as stone-faced. Seriously, check out the Clouds of Sils Maria trailer. As an added bonus, if Stewart does carry residual clout with teens because of Twilight, that could help sell this show to the zeitgeisty audience Netflix is obviously going after with irresponsible Game of Thrones comparisons. Runner-up: Carey Mulligan. The Drive actor is a safer, more conventional choice for Zelda with her blonde pixie cut and soft features. Charlize Theron as The Princess Assuming the show goes tried-and-true with the "Zelda has to save the princess" narrative because TV is rarely challenging, I at least want the actor that plays the Princess to be more than just a pretty face to save. I know Theron doesn't do a lot of television, but, hey, this is a dream cast, right? She has a fire in her eyes capable of elevating her above a boring damsel in distress, even if the script is bunk and tries to write her as thus. Oh, and can we give her a name, please? Runner-up: Liv Tyler. Remember her in Lords of the Rings? There you go. Danny DeVito as Tingle DeVito's made a career out of being a small, impish weirdo (also a good producer and a pretty good director), so, yes, it's low-hanging fruit, but I'll take a bite. Plus, DeVito's been deep into the television game since Always Sunny. At least I didn't go for the dwarf from Game of Thrones. That would have been too easy. I did just spoil my runner up, though, so now I need a new one. Runner-up: Mickey Rooney. Yes, he just died. Dream cast! Or, slightly more realistically, Capcom's Yoshinori Ono. Oscar Isaac as Ganondorf It was tempting to go Tim Conway for a Dorf on the Diamond joke, but I want to be serious about this cast list so if I nail it I can sue Netflix for royalties. Watch the trailer for A Most Violent Year and tell me you don't get chills. Isaac is finally getting his due as a hot as fuck, but also extremely talented actor (Inside Llewyn Davis, Drive) with appearances in the upcoming Star Wars and X-Men franchises, so I almost want him to cool off with the "young adult fantasy" roles, but no doubt that strong chin slathered in face paint could make for an intense Ganondorf. Runner-up: Idris Elba. Uhm. Speaking of the literally hottest fucking person on the planet. The Wire's Stringer Bell has gotten a bit more big budget American play with supporting roles in Thor, Pacific Rim, and Prometheus, but god dang does he need some starring roles. Even him as a villain isn't enough. He better be the next James Bond. They both get pictures because I made the Isaac one first but need an excuse to stare at Idris Elba pictures for a half hour. Rinko Kikuchi as Tetra Now's the time when I remember we have little idea what characters, if any, from Zelda lore will be making an appearance in this possible new TV show that probably won't happen. Now is also the time my dream cast casts its line seaward and I double down on the idea it be a Wind Waker show, because Wind Waker is the best Legend of Zelda. Runner-up: No one. Rinko Kikuchi. Make it happen, Netflix. Roberto Benigni as Linebeck Yes, it's a Wind Waker show, but a show is a show, and a show needs a few more defined supporting characters. Linebeck fits into the nautical journey. And, really, this is some acecasting. I've kind of impressed myself with it. Watch him as a taxi driver in Night on Earth and tell me that isn't a good choice. Runner-up: Al Pacino. Kang-ho Song as Happy Mask Salesman The actor who sold me on Korean cinema a seeming lifetime ago (The Host; The Good, The Bad and The Weird; Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) while I shuffled my feet and worked my way up to Old Boy, Kang-ho Song recently showed up in Snowpiercer as an oddball. I think he has Happy Mask range. - Who do you want to see in the show?

Review: Sons of Anarchy: The Prospect: Episode One
Feb 03
// Chris Carter
Sons of Anarchy: The Prospect: Episode One (iOS [reviewed], PC)Developer: Orpheus Interactive, Silverback GamesPublisher: Fox Digital EntertainmentReleased: January 29, 2015 (iOS) / TBA (PC)MSRP: $2.99 per episode ($14.99 Season Pass) Plain and simple, this is a Telltale-style affair complete with item-based seek-and-finds, player choice, and a ton of dialogue. In other words, there's little room for exploration as you hop from one tiny child-sized sandbox to another -- otherwise known as the new school adventure genre. As a grizzled veteran who has spent hours pixel hunting in Myst and King's Quest, I'm generally okay with the push towards more visual novel and less adventure. Some of you may not be. The Prospect kicks things off with a rather interesting flash forward, giving the player character a choice to execute someone else with a bag over their head. Who is this hooded person? Are you even in control of the "main" character, or are you in the hood, and are you deciding to pull the trigger on yourself? It's a neat method of storytelling and likely won't be explored until the finale. [embed]287005:57140:0[/embed]The core narrative however will be spent setting things up for the rest of the tale. You'll meet the main character, whose Dad is terminally ill and could go at any moment. His brother happens to be part of the notorious Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club (this time called SAMLIN, based in Oregon), and his father thinks that he's been saving up to send his favorite son to college -- only, you've been spending that cash to keep the lights on, and keep him alive. Methods to earn unscrupulous cash are literally knocking at the door. Over the course of the show we've seen many unlikely people become members of the club, and it's interesting to see it unfold from their eyes. Your landlord, the local police, your dad, and of course the Sons play a vital role in your character's future, and the hook actually isn't bad. There's also some loose ties to the show with fan-favorite character Tig Trager, also played by Kim Coates, who makes a decent impression and not just a cameo. Thematically the dialogue is also very similar to the show, which is fine by me, but may offend others. In other words, the dialogue is very male-driven, and you'll likely find plenty of sexist and racist lines in the first 15 minutes. But while the setup is great on paper, the actual follow-through isn't so exciting. Visually the game looks similar to something Telltale would create, but with less emphasis on character design and world building. It just feels off and uninspired at points, like development was straight-up rushed. The motorcycle portions are probably this biggest offender, all of which feature the same dark highway. Choices aren't that prevalent either, so the visual novel comparison couldn't be more apt. You basically get a few options to shoot people or not, and that's about it. There are "relationship" counters of sorts where if you say something mean an icon will pop up with a "minus" symbol, or a heart symbol for something favorable. There's no indication that these actually mean anything or will matter later on. This initial episode will run you $1.99, and the season pass costs $15, which will net you all 10 episodes. This is a rough prospect, because although I am supportive of the episodic format, I'm generally in for four or five -- ten is way too many, to the point where a mere hour is very difficult to really drive anything meaningful home. Even the show started running hour and a half episodes eventually. Maybe this will turn out great over time with the planned PC version as a bundle, but the jury is still out. Even with its faults, The Prospect really isn't as bad as it looks. The cheap fan service of Tig (one of my favorites) drew me in, and the idea of slowly working your way into the Sons of Anarchy is fun enough. Since there are going to be so many episodes, I'll likely do a check-in at the halfway point and again at the end. [This review is based on a retail build of the game purchased by the reviewer.]

Sling TV, which brings live TV to Xbox One, is looking great so far
Jan 28
// Chris Carter
Although it's not quite ready for launch just yet, I had a chance to test out Sling TV on both the iOS and Roku 3 platforms, as the Amazon and Xbox apps aren't currently available. The idea is to help facilitate cord-cutting from the antiquated cable model, where you're paying upwards of $100 or more for hundreds of channels you don't need. When coupled with a few extra services like Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, the concept gets even sweeter. So what does it offer for your 20 bucks? ESPN, ESPN 2, TBS, TNT, HGTV, Food Network, the Travel Channel, CNN, the Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, and ABC Family are included in the base package, with a two extra add-on tiers (Kids and News) available on the side for $5 each. ESPN is likely going to be the crux of this campaign, particularly given that subscribers will gain access to the Watch ESPN app. With more sports options, this service will have a gigantic impact on the market. The prospect of ESPN alone is enticing for a lot of millennials and stalwart non-cable owners, but I can see many folks enjoying at least one or two of the other channels consistently. For instance, Regular Show or Adventure Time fans will be able to catch those shows on Cartoon Network -- which is a good thing given how terrible and limited the network's official app is. But without a heavy-hitting drama network like FX, HBO (set to launch its own service this year), or Showtime, it's going to be a hard sell for some -- TBS is no FX. There's another potential holdup for prospective buyers, which is the entire "live TV" aspect. The reason so many people have cut the cord is the immediacy of the Internet. Binge-watching entire seasons of Breaking Bad or House of Cards in one or two days is now the norm. A lot of you out there are not going to watch certain shows at certain times when on-demand is available elsewhere. Sling TV also comes with an option to watch on-demand films though, including some new releases. It's not as amazing as a standard cable setup or even Amazon's Instant Video section, but it has a good deal of new releases on-hand, with more to come after the full service rolls out. Once you rent something you have 30 days to watch it, and 24 hours to finish it once started. In other words, it's a standard on-demand service, which is a nice thing to have packed in the box. Dish has also announced that it has a partnership with the Maker network to provide a host of online videos, but that content isn't live yet. Performance-wise, Sling TV is near-flawless, and I was legitimately surprised at how well it worked out of the box, even in its preview state. It's the same quality as any 1080p cable box would provide, and even on LTE it's still crystal clear on my iPhone 6 (you can even adjust the picture performance to help ease the data-cap pain). Mobile support is a big differentiator from some of its competition, which don't even function without WiFi. All in all I only had a few drops with roughly 20 hours of TV watching, and those were mainly the fault of the Roku 3 itself. After booting the app again I was back to where I was in seconds. Sadly, only select stations have full "live TV" options at this time, like fast-forwarding and such, and there's no real way to DVR anything. So if you're a TV junkie and record 5-10 shows per day, you may not be ready to shed your service just yet. Sling TV is in its early phases with exclusive preview access, but is fully expected to launch in roughly two weeks, and over the next month or so Dish will roll out the apps for the Amazon Fire TV and Xbox One. At this point I can heartily recommend giving it a try if you don't already subscribe to a cable service, as $20 for the first month isn't a huge pill to swallow on top of a free trial week. Microsoft even has a deal with the company that allows Xbox One owners to get an entire month free. Maybe you'll end up cutting the cord, maybe you won't. Check back later for a look at the full launch and Xbox One impressions. [These impressions are based on a trial subscription of the service provided by Dish.]

A Brookfield man accidentally fired a shotgun into a neighboring apartment unit while attempting to unload it, according to a city of Brookfield police report.
Also from the report:
The man called the police to report that he had misfired a round of buckshot into the wall of an apartment in the 18000 block of Lake Drive just before 10 a.m. Oct. 14, because he was unsure if anybody next door had been injured.
Paramedics were put on standby while officers called a maintenance man to unlock the apartment.
The apartment was found to be empty and nobody was injured.
The incident was ruled accidental.

#2, please read your post #669, and my response #670
and i said YES, there is nothing clearer then the word YES
also you dont "LOSE" any volume settings
if i set it to 75 (which i do... its 75 till someone sets it to something else)
#4 is such a stupid statement, when you turn it off, there is no volume... when mine is off, its amazingly quiet! when i turn it back on, oddly it goes right back to the same volume...
sonic, i dont know if ill add it YET, i have to see a need... so far NOt enough people say its too loud... i might add it anyway... as a hidden option... then you can override
only the RR's that i didnt work on suffer from it being way too loud.
daniel, is the visteon display when thats in use too much audio output?

If Monday's practice is any indication Marcus Johansson could be just days away from returning to the Capitals' lineup.
Sidelined since Feb. 7 with an undisclosed injury, Johansson took turns on a third line with Jay Beagle and Joel Ward.
Johansson has been progressing well over the past five days and on Monday he was flying up and down the ice, alternating with Jason Chimera.
"He looked a lot better today," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. "He looked like he had jump. He needs some skates at full speed and contact. But we'll talk about how ready he feels."
If Johansson passes a strength test on Monday, he could be in the lineup as soon as Thursday night against the Florida Panthers.
Meanwhile, defenseman Mike Green stayed off the ice for the fifth straight day as he lets his groin strain heal. Asked if the plan is to shut down Green for a while, Oates said, "I hope not. I wouldn't say it was a setback. He just needs to feel comfortable and we're waiting for that moment where it's OK to go again."
The Capitals' forward line combinations had Mike Ribeiro between Alex Ovechkin and Matt Hendricks; Nicklas Backstrom between Eric Fehr and Troy Brouwer; and Mathieu Perreault between Joey Crabb and Aaron Volpatti, with Wojtek Wolski taking turns as an alternate.
With Green still out, the Caps' defense pairings remain unchanged: Karl Alzner with Tomas Kundratek; John Erskine with John Carlson; Jeff Schultz with Tom Poti; and Roman Hamrlik with Jack Hillen.
Dangerous moment: Midway through practice goaltender Braden Holtby took a hard shot from Crabb off his left collar bone, but shook it off and continued without incident.
"It got away from me," Crabb said. "It happens sometimes but he looks fine."
The Caps return to action Tuesday night when Zdeno Chara and the Boston Bruins make their first visit to VerizonCenter since the first round of last year's playoffs.
Prospect watch: Nearly three months after helping the United States win gold at the 2013 World Junior Championships Capitals forward prospect Riley Barber has followed up by leading the Miami University RedHawks to the CCHA regular-season title.
The Caps' sixth-round selection [167th overall] in the 2012 draft, Barber led the RedHawks with 36 points [15 goals, 21 assists) in 34 games during as a freshman. He led all NCAA freshmen in points during the regular season.
Miami earned a first-round bye in the CCHA playoffs, which begin March 8, and will begin their tournament in the second round on March 15.
Meanwhile, Filip Forsberg was awarded the Golden Cage award as the best junior player in the Swedish league HockeyAllsvenskan. Forsberg finished the season ranked seventh on Leksand in points (32), despite playing in only 37 of the team's 51 games. Forsberg collected 14 goals and 18 assists and finished second among all U-20 aged players in the league. Leksand finished with 106 points, the highest total in the league.
A first-round selection (11th overall) in 2012, Forsberg captained the Swedish juniors to a silver medal in the 2013 World Junior Championship and was named to the tournament's all-star team.

"Summertime and the livin' is easy" the song says. And, it is. The Mount Hope Farmers' Market in Bristol had fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, sand dabs (fish), spinach, bunches of golden beets and locally made cheeses on a recent visit that translated into two great meals.
For the first meal, I roasted the beets — very easy to do — and created a cool salad perfect for a hot summer day.
The second meal, which was a little more complicated, featured the sand dabs sautéed in a little butter. Then, I stuffed the portobella mushrooms with spinach, cheese and a little panko bread crumbs.
But, to get back to the beets. I love the golden beets because they don't bleed everywhere. A description on roasting them is below. So simple. I roast them one day (in the evening, preferably, because you have to use the oven) and then slice and use them the next day, keeping the kitchen cool.
And, sometimes I'm too lazy to even make a vinaigrette. I keep a squeeze bottle of balsamic glaze (it's at the supermarket) and just drizzle it over a salad or a plate of tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. See, easy!
Roasted Beet, Blue Cheese and Walnut Salad
Serves 2 or 3
Half a dozen beets of any color
Field greens or your favorite lettuce
Crumbled blue cheese
Chopped, toasted walnuts
Halved cherry tomatoes
Balsamic vinaigrette or balsamic glaze
Scrub the beets and cut off the tops, leaving an inch of greens. Place on a large square of aluminum foil. Drizzle very lightly with olive oil and rub it all over the beets. Wrap the packet up, crimping the edges tightly. Place on a pie plate or jelly roll pan and bake in a 400° oven for 50 minutes (if the beets are really small, check them at 40 minutes). A sharp knife should easily penetrate the center of the largest beet.
Cool until you can handle the beets. Place them on a couple of paper towels and use the towels to gently rub the skins off the beets. Trim off both ends and slice to serve or refrigerate in a covered bowl until ready to use.
To plate your salad (or individual salads if you wish), place a layer of lettuce on the plate. Arrange the beets in an attractive pattern. Sprinkle with blue cheese, walnuts and tomatoes. Drizzle with vinaigrette or balsamic glaze. Serve with garlic toast or toasted pita bread.
Note: Think about the colors of your salad. I use red or green tomatoes with the yellow beets. But, a combination of purple beets and the chioggia beets (purple and white stripes) would be pretty together, too. And, red beets would look nice with yellow tomatoes.

Holy Guacamelee, Batman! Este juego es muy bueno.
"One of my favorite parts about Mexican cuisine is its cohesiveness. It's a property found in all my favorite types of foods: Italian, Chinese, etc. You take a swath of semi-disparate elements, tie them together with a sauce, and boom; you have an enormous meal you can gobble down in matrimonial mouthful. Just take guacamole, for example. Five or six ingredients plus spices come together to form a more perfect union, resulting in one cohesive dip so powerful Burt Ward's Robin exalted it in the 1960's Batman TV series."

Picture: Billy Ray Cyrus - Billy Ray Cyrus at Extra, talking about his new memoir "Hillbilly Heart" - Los Angeles, California, United States - Saturday 27th...
Country star Billy Ray Cyrus has cleared up confusion about a tweet he posted online on Monday (26Aug13), insisting he had the problems in Syria on his mind, not his daughter's controversial MTV Video Music Awards routine.
The Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker's kid hit the headlines after she 'twerked' her way through a performance with Robin Thicke wearing nothing but rubber underwear, a giant foam hand and a smile - and, at one point grinded her backside into her stage partner's crotch while making inappropriate gestures to the audience.
Hours after the Vmas aired, upsetting members of America's conservative Parents Television Council - of which Billy Ray is a board member, Miley's dad tweeted, "Thanking God for so many blessings tonight. Continue to pray for world peace. More love... less hate."
Fans felt sure he was defending his daughter's raunchy routine, but he has since added, "FYI 'Love Not Hate' Late last night I was watching devastating news out of Syria. Chemical weapons used on innocent children is unacceptable!"

Article: Polarisation-independent 20 Gbit/s soliton data transmission over 12500 km using amplitude and phase modulation soliton transmission control[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Polarisation-independent error-free 20 Gbit/s soliton data transmission over 12500 km with flat system Q dependence on distance, has been demonstrated using static filtering and a semiconductor polarisation-independent amplitude and phase modulator for soliton transmission control
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A Mach Zehnder (MZ) interferometer has been used as an optical discriminator to measure the time-resolved frequency chirp of an optical source
Conference Paper: FSK/IM scheme for unrepeatered optical systems[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A frequency shift keyed/intensity modulated (FSK/IM) optical transmitter is described which uses direct frequency shift keying of a laser and a Mach-Zehnder optical discriminator to produce a very low chirp intensity modulated source for high bit rate, high dispersion systems. The FSK/IM transmitter was demonstrated over a 200 km span of conventional nondispersion shifted fibre at 2.488 Gbit/s, with very low dispersion penalty, an error floor of better than 10-15 BER, and a long term stability of better than 0.3 dB over 100 hours of operation. The performance and stability obtained make possible the introduction of repeaterless transmission over installed nondispersion shifted fibre links: system loss and dispersion requirements for spans of 200 km can be readily satisfied with sufficient margin for long term system viability
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An optical receiver suitable for a 10 Gbit/s direct detection optical transmission system is described. It uses a pin diode, commercial GaAs MESFETs and hybrid construction techniques on a coplanar substrate. The measured sensitivity of the receiver is -20.4 dBm, which is the best reported sensitivity at 10 Gbit/s for a pin-FET optical receiver to date.
Conference Paper: High-performance optical transmission system using an erbium-doped fiber preamplifier pumped at 1480 nm
Article: High performance 10 Gbit/s optical transmission system using erbium-doped fibre preamplifier[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) has been used in a high performance transmission system, giving the highest reported sensitivity to date of -33.8 dBm (325 photon/bit) at 10 Gbit/s, for pumping at 1480 nm.

ABSTRACT: A 140 Mbit/s FSK heterodyne coherent transmission system is described having automatic frequency and polarisation acquisition and tracking. A receiver sensitivity of -57.4 dBm (88 photons/bit), using 7B8B block code, and -58.2 dBm (84 photons/bit), using biphase coding, has been obtained, only 3.4 and 3.2 dB away from the shot noise limit, respectively.
Conference Paper: A practical high performance 140 Mbit/s FSK coherent system[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The use of frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation format reduces considerably the requirements on the performance of optical sources and leads to simple system implementation. Several laboratories have reported systems operating close to the quantum limit. The authors describe the design, implementation and evaluation of a practical 140 Mbit/s FSK heterodyne coherent transmission system with a balanced dual channel receiver, automatic carrier acquisition, tracking and endless polarisation control. The carrier acquisition, tracking and polarisation control are controlled by a built-in microprocessor giving the system flexibility and the ability to monitor the operation of these subsystems. A sensitivity of -57.4 dBm has been obtained, only 3.4 dB away from the quantum limit. System stability has been demonstrated over a period of 250 hours at an optical power level below sensitivity and an error floor shown to be lower than BER=3.5×10-14. This system therefore fulfils the requirements for transmission systems with span lengths on the order of 250 km. This enables previously unexploited markets for unrepeated transmission links to be addressed, opening a new era in the history of long haul communications
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A balanced receiver for use in coherent transmission systems is described. It employs commercially available discrete components. A sensitivity of -57.2 dBm has been achieved in a 160 Mbit/s FSK heterodyne system, within 3.6 dB of the quantum limit.
Conference Paper: Low noise balanced receiver for coherent transmission systems[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors describe a receiver which is tailored in particular for coherent systems. A pair of low capacitance, high quantum efficiency InGaAs PIN detectors are incorporated to obtain performance near to the quantum limit. Inductive peaking is used to reduce high frequency noise. The circuit was simulated using both SPICE and COMPACT. Inclusion of a prototype front end into a 160 Mbit/s FSK Heterodyne system has resulted in a sensitivity within 3.6 dB to the quantum limit. It is concluded that discrete circuit techniques are capable of delivering high bandwidth, low noise balanced optical receivers. These make possible the implementation of coherent systems operating near the quantum limit with existing local oscillator power levels and linewidths. The use of high quantum efficiency, low capacitance detectors in the front end is fundamental to such systems
Conference Paper: The use of coherent technology in unrepeatered optical systems[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The capabilities of coherent detection for unrepeatered systems is outlined both in terms of components and subsystem performance and it is shown that the expected component improvements will make possible the realisation of coherent systems able to offer link lengths of around 300 km. As the component performance improves it is expected that the link length will increase by using either more efficient modulation formats or improving the initial `weakly coherent' systems
