With Saturday's "Strikeforce St. Louis: Heavy Artillery" card quickly approaching, the organization today announced the official lineup for the night's un-aird preliminary card.
The prelims are headlined by a fight between undefeated St. Louis fighter Jesse Finney (4-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) and fellow welterweight Justin DeMoney (13-2-1 MMA, 0-0 SF).
Also set for the prelims in an intriguing lightweight bout between top prospect Lyle "Fancy Pants" Beerbohm (13-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) and established veteran Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro (20-3 MMA, 0-0 SF). Although the fight appeared in jeopardy when Beerbohm publicly solicited advice to get out of his contract, the situation was resolved this past week, as MMAjunkie.com reported.
In all, the event features seven preliminary-card bouts, which take place at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. The main card, including a Strikeforce heavyweight title fight between champ Alistair Overeem and challenger Brett Rogers, airs on Showtime.
Finney, the owner and head instructor of Finney's MMA in St. Louis, also competed at Strikeforce's 2009 event at the Scottrade Center. Family, friends and students packed the arena and provided the 35-year-old fighter some of the biggest cheers at the show.
He now meets DeMoney, an Extreme Challenge veteran who's fought 16 times as a pro in just three years. He makes his Strikeforce debut with an undefeated streak of nine fights.
In the other featured prelim matchup, Beerbohm and Ribeiro conceivably could be fighting for a title shot. Beerbohm made his Strikeforce debut in 2009 and topped UFC vet Duane "Bang" Ludwig via submission. Only one of his 13 career wins went to decision. His opponent, Shooto and DREAM vet Ribeiro, looks to rebound from a 1-2 skid that included losses to notables Shinya Aoki vs. Gesias "GZ" Cavalcante. His only other career loss came to Tatsuya Kawajiri.
Other official bouts include light heavyweights Fransisco France (4-1 MMA, 0-0 SF) vs. Lee Brousseau (3-1 MMA, 0-0 SF), welterweights Mike Chandler (2-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) vs. Sal Woods (4-7 MMA, 0-1 SF), welterweights Tom Aaron (6-2 MMA, 0-0 SF) vs. Erik Steenberg (3-0 MMA, 0-0 SF), lightweights Matt Ricehouse (1-0 MMA, 0-0 SF) vs. Greg Wilson (4-3 MMA, 0-0 SF), and light heavyweights Booker DeRousse (3-2 MMA, 1-0 SF) vs. Darryl Cobb (4-1 MMA, 1-0 SF).
The full card includes:
- Champ Alistair Overeem vs. Brett Rogers (for heavyweight title)
- Andrei Arlovski vs. Antonio Silva
- Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza vs. Joey Villasenor
- Roger Gracie vs. Kevin Randleman
- Antwain Britt vs. Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante
PRELIMINARY CARD (un-aired)
- Justin DeMoney vs. Jesse Finney
- Lyle Beerbohm vs. Vitor Ribeiro
- Lee Brousseau vs. Fransisco France
- Mike Chandler vs. Sal Woods
- Tom Aaron vs. Erik Steenberg
- Matt Ricehouse vs. Greg Wilson
- Darryl Cobb vs. Booker DeRousse

May 5, 2016
(WCNC) An 11-year-old is now charged with the abuse that led to his 7-month-old brother's death.
The infant's mother, Wendy Latwann Johnson, was charged earlier this week in Camden Johnson's death.
CMPD responded to the home on Saturday on a report of an unresponsive baby. Seven-month-old Camden was taken to Carolinas Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased.
Relatives say the 11-year-old confessed to abusing his brother, and doing it out of jealousy, while his mother ran an errand Saturday and was gone from the house for about 45 minutes.

I like the continent at F1 most. Is this world planned to be a hot world or will you add arctic regions later?
After spending a few months playing with map-making tools, I think it's finally time I started a big project.
I want to create a world with a high technology level called Etarek. I will be using Fractal Terrains, Wilbur, Illustrator and Photoshop to flesh the world out and eventually I aim to have a fully-developed collection of regional maps covering the globe.
I want to make this world realistic. I know there a lot of people here who are knowledgeable in geology and climates, so I will certainly be taking influences from them.
I'd love my world map to end up looking like this:
Israh by a2area
And my regional projections to end up looking like this:
Torentine Empire by a2area
But first things first. I want to build my planet up systematically.
Starting out playing with Fractal Terrains has given me this map. I've plotted some proposed tectonic plates onto it.
Any feedback or criticism is very welcome.
Last edited by laevex_esre; 09-10-2011 at 05:24 AM. Reason: I didn't know that the Israh tutorial was also by a2area
I like the continent at F1 most. Is this world planned to be a hot world or will you add arctic regions later?
I think it will have arctic regions. At the moment I'm just trying to work out which continents would get certain weather. I'm very open to people's climate opinions.
That all looks very reasonable. I'm not a geologist so I'm not oing to argue the realism of it, but I'd take that layout to be sensible. The mountains look to be a bit localised - I'd expect them to be more long thin ranges rather than some of the broad lumps that appear in C1 and the border between D and I, but that might just be my own bias.
As for climate I'd start with your tropics, desert and temperate bands and allow those to be affected by the mountains as natural climate boundaries. If you want to delve deeper than that I'm sure there are many people here who can go into prevailing winds and climatology but I'm certainly not one of them. Looking forward to seeing the next steps.
I've worked on the terrain a bit more and made the mountain ranges thinner like suggested.
Here's an image of the altitudes:
And here's one with more natural colours:
Next I want to keep working on the terrain. I realise that I need smoother plains, more coastal lowlands etc. How would I best create these? Would this kind of process work, using lots of incise flow and fill basins?
If anyone has any tips or criticisms then they'd be much appreciated. I want to get the terrain sorted before I move onto working out the climate.
Since you'll be using Wilbur at some point during the editing process, you can smooth out the coastal areas and what not by applying an Exponent (Filters>>Mathematical>>Exponent) to your land masses. When I do that sort of thing, I tend to create a selection (Select>>From Terrain>>Height Range) so that I can isolate the land mass and experiment with the Exponent value. I also use a math function in the Calculate Height Field dialogue from time to time, but that's a bit more complicated. Fill basins will definitely create more flat areas, but I tend to shy away from that approach as it sometimes has a tendency to create too much flat area. Incise Flow, on the other hand, is more of a channel digging process that cuts elevation away based on the projected flow of water from higher areas to sea-level. If you're working through a2area's tutorial, he has a link to waldronate's tutorials for both Wilbur and FTPro, and I would strongly recommend reading through them to get a better feel for what they're capable of.
When nothing is going right and you can't find someone else to blame, start beating your head against the wall, 'cause it'll feel so much better when you stop.
Thanks for those tips. I definitely feel like I'd like to get a better grasp of FTPro and Wilbur, so I'll check those out. I've been playing around with incise flow and fill basins a fair bit but I'll try and see what an exponent does too.
Also, I didn't know that the tutorial was by a2area, so I'll edit that first post to credit him. It's a brilliant tutorial and it's teaching me a lot.
Etarek is shaping up. I think I have the terrain sorted now. After going through all of the Wilbur tutorials I worked through a2area's Israh tutorial and got to this point:
There are a few things I'm unhappy about:
-When I open it in Fractal Terrains it's pretty low resolution.
-It's a bit bumpier than I originally wanted. The plains have annoying dots on them.
-The precipitation erosion has left big river estuaries all over the place and they aren't completely continuous. Sometimes they stop, close up and start again.
I might fix all this stuff later and if you have any answers to them I'd be grateful.
For the moment I want to work on the climate. I'm just about to start working through The Climate Cookbook, so that will be interesting.
Last edited by laevex_esre; 09-12-2011 at 10:21 AM. Reason: Changed image
Before sending the file back to FTPro, try applying a small gaussian blur in Wilbur (Filters>>Gaussian Blur>>0.5). Do this two or three times and it should smooth out those little bumps some.-It's a bit bumpier than I originally wanted. The plains have annoying dots on them.
Depending on when these are happening (in FTPro or in Wilbur) you might be able to fix this by using a Basin Fill more frequently. I'd have to actually play with the file to know for sure, though.-The precipitation erosion has left big river estuaries all over the place and they aren't completely continuous. Sometimes they stop, close up and start again.
Offered what answers I could, but the best recommendation I can offer is to keep experimenting here and there, see if you can isolate when the problems start to occur and then work from there.I might fix all this stuff later and if you have any answers to them I'd be grateful.
When nothing is going right and you can't find someone else to blame, start beating your head against the wall, 'cause it'll feel so much better when you stop.
Thanks for the tips. Sounds like I'll just have to redo the Wilbur erosion and try and work out where the issues are coming from. I'm guessing I've used more precipitation erosion than necessary (stupid estuaries) and added too much noise at some point (bumps).
I'm interested in using an exponent too because it definitely looks better than too much fill basins. But I don't know if I'm doing it right. This is how I do it:
Select > From Height > 0 to highest
Filter > Mathematical > Exponent > 1.2
That looks about right, but I'm wondering if starting at 0 without feathering would cause an issue.

Luigi's Sex Club 7
|Grand Theft Auto III
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (in the Introduction)
|Luigi's Sex Club 7
|Luigi Goterelli
|Type of Business:
|Strip Club
|Red Light District, Portland, Liberty City
- "Goterelli is known to have links to the Leone Crime Family, whom are believed to use the place as one of many money-laundering enterprises in the city."
- ―GTA III Website.
Luigi's Sex Club 7 is a strip club and dance club located in the Red Light District of Portland Island, Liberty City. Luigi's Sex Club 7 has appeared in The Introduction, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto III.
It was owned by the Sindacco Family, appearing as Paulie's Revue Bar until completing the Portland Island missions in GTA Liberty City Stories. By 2001, the club is owned by Luigi Goterelli, with Mickey Hamfists and Curly Bob working at the club. The name is a parody of S Club Seven, a British pop group that was around between 1998 and 2003.
- Its appearance in The Introduction is chronologically wrong, since it would be owned by the Sindacco Family at the time and therefore called "Paulie's Revue Bar". This is most probably due to the fact that GTA Liberty City Stories was not released until a year after GTA San Andreas.
- In 2001, it is pressumed that the club has Trance music DJ's during the weekends as announced by DJ Andee in Lips 106 before the song Feels like I just can't take no more.

The North American Mosaic Download
An Overview of Key Environmental Issues
The North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation obliges the Secretariat of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation to "periodically address the state of the environment in the territories of the Parties." To meet this obligation, the Secretariat has developed this report—The North American Mosaic: An Overview of Key Environmental Issues—with the support of environmental reporting experts from the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States.
This report describes a wide variety of environmental trends and conditions across North America. The breadth and diversity of the subject are astounding: from tiny invasive zebra mussels to global greenhouse gases measured by the teragram; from the last remaining vaquita porpoises to vast expanses of boreal forests and marine ecosystems; from invisible molecules of toxic chemicals to the all-too-visible smog and haze that blanket our cities from time to time.
That said, as the title indicates, this report is an overview. It is not a comprehensive treatment of environmental issues, many of which have been described elsewhere in much greater detail. The assemblage of environmental indicators in this report is far from complete; many measurements are not available at the national level, let alone in comparable forms across North America.
- You can download either the Full Report or individual chapters.

Halloween Costumes Accessories
Accents for October 31st are designed to enhance the overall appearance and believability of your costume. These are the painstaking additions that trick people into thinking you are from a world unlike our own, where vampires and werewolves mingle over cups of blood in local cafes. Plus, what is a witch without her broom, or a warlock without his wand? To fully capture your look, you need the appropriate All Hallows' Eve accents.
Costume accents drastically change the way a costume looks. For example, to add a vicious touch to any costume, throw a pair of fangs in your mouth. Honestly, there is nothing more terrifying than a vampire fanged butterfly. On the other hand, you could keep the continuity flowing and snag a wand for that butterfly outfit, giving it a touch of Tooth Fairy. Our October 31st goodies give you the ability to fully customize your holiday experience.
Once you have that perfect accent for your costume, it is time to move onto the facial additions. All Hallows' Eve is about becoming someone - or something - other than your usual self, so utilize this chance and maximize your overall transformation. With our help, you can add some facial hair, change your nose or ears, get a new set of teeth, or find that perfect wig. But, do not forget about our especially spectacular spectacles, which may be the perfect addition to your new face.
So, now you have your outfit and facial accents, what else could you need? Costume makeup, of course! This is the final frontier of your full assimilation into this hallow night of tricks and treats. With the proper attention to detail, makeup can take your costume accents one step further into the realm of disbelief and fantasy.

The Rumpo is a van featured in the following games.
- Grand Theft Auto III
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Grand Theft Auto Advance
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto V
The Rumpo is an average-sized van capable of carrying four passengers (two in the front, two in the back). It is common and can be found in most areas in the cities in which it appears, but like all vans, it tends to be most common in industrial areas. It also has 2 small windows at the very rear of the vehicle. In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the van appears to be based on a first generation Dodge Ram Van with the side paneling of a Ford Van. A modified version of this van is used by the Southside Hoodsgang.
From Grand Theft Auto: Vice City onwards, the Rumpo is very different, taking on the design originally sported by the Pony (see 'Naming confusion' section below). Rumpos typically sport a variety of company logos (eg. Final Build Construction). These Rumpos appear to resemble first-generation Fiat Ducatos.
When originally introduced in GTA III, the Rumpo is fairly fast, but with average handling and a tendency to two-wheel and tip over under rough cornering.
The redesigned Rumpo in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories handles much like the smaller Pony, but is slightly slower and heavier (weighting at 1700 kg, 100 kg less than the GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions). Also, because of it's height and stiff suspension it has a nasty tendency to jolt around and even tip on bumpy roads.
Despite its weight, the Rumpo is not particularly good for ramming, so all of these factors combine to make the Rumpo a vehicle to avoid. All Rumpos are also front-wheel drive, like the Ducato they're based on, but it is weird for the GTA III and LCS versions as they're based on Dodge Ram Van which is RWD. An exception is in GTA Advance, which does not specify).
Unique colors
Black Rumpo
In GTA III, a unique all-black Rumpo (with black trims) appears during the "Under Surveillance" as a vehicle occupied by two targets which the player must kill. To acquire the van, the player must open fire at the vehicle at close range using a gun, forcing the occupants to exit the vehicle; if shot from a distance, the driver may use the van as a weapon to run over the player, making the act of retrieving the van more difficult. Once the targets are killed, the player may take control of the vehicle and save it in a garage after the mission is complete.
Red Rumpo
In GTA Liberty City Stories, a unique all-red Rumpo, with red bumpers, appears during the mission "Bringing the House Down" as the van carrying explosives to be placed on the old subway tracks that runs under Fort Staunton. To acquire the van, simply complete the mission in the van. As long as you were in the van as you get out of the subway, you should be in it.
Naming confusion
There is some confusion regarding the names and designs of the Rumpo, the Burrito and the Pony throughout the GTA III Era.
In GTA III, the Rumpo chiefly resembles a Dodge Ram Van; in subsequent games, however, the Ram Van-derived vehicle is named Burrito. In GTA III, the Pony is a large van with an elevated roof; in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, the Rumpo inherited this design, and the Pony was given a new one.
- The GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, and GTA Vice City Stories renditions of the Rumpo feature a cosmetic glitch in which any Rumpo using a Pay 'n' Spray will emerge with its front bumper facing in the opposite direction, towards the rear. The problem can be remedied simply by parking the vehicle in a garage, leaving the garage so that its door shuts, then returning. This glitch is also present in GTA Vice City's Pony.
- The Rumpo plays the following radio stations when entered:
- Radio Espantoso or Vice City Public Radio in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories.
- Playback FM in GTA San Andreas.
- Rumpo is Latin for "I burst". It is also the name of a village in Estonia, as well as a slang term for sex.
- An unused Algonquin Triads drug burrito in GTA: Chinatown Wars has a tall roof just like that of the Rumpo.
- In Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition, the 11th race of the Big Playas in the 2nd laps a white Rumpo is seen.
- Near 8-Ball's bomb shop, Saint Marks.
- Liberty City Sawmill, Callahan Point.
- Import/Export garage, Portland Harbor, after completing all vehicles on the list.
- A unique black Rumpo in the mission Under Surveillance.
GTA Vice City
- Parked between two buildings west of the Boatyard.
- Common in Viceport, Little Havana and at Escobar International Airport.
GTA San Andreas
- Near the entrance of Hunter Quarry, which is located between Bone County and Las Venturas
- Can be found quite regularly around Ocean Docks
GTA Liberty City Stories
- Outside 8-Ball's bomb shop in Harwood, Portland.
- Across the road from the police station in Portland View.
- In the car park for Liberty City Memorial Stadium, Staunton Island.
- In the car park for Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale.
- Spawns regularly around Portland.
GTA Vice City Stories
- Commonly spotted in various districts within Vice City Mainland (Viceport, Little Havana, Little Haiti and Downtown).
- Spawns at a corner of the hotel construction site featured in a mission, Downtown.

Police say a marine biologist identified a shark that washed ashore Thursday as a 5 1/2 foot Sand Tiger Shark. Initial witness reports suggested it was closer to seven feet.
It happened at milepost 7.5 at Kill Devil Hills around 12:30 p.m. Thursday. Keith Guzy from Luray, Virginia told WITN News that a couple of people saw the shark in the surf and a lifeguard thought it was a dolphin.
Kill Devil Hills Ocean Rescue tell us the shark was likely caught offshore and the line had been cut. The shark was rolling around in the water dying, so they pulled it to shore so animal control could remove it.
Guzy says about a hundred people gathered around as authorities took it away on a truck.
To view pictures of the shark, click on the PHOTOS tab at the top of the story.
There's no word on what type of shark it was. Tuesday evening a six year old girl was bitten by a shark on Ocracoke Island.

The purpose of having an Aquifer Protection Area is to provide a financing method to preserve, protect and rehabilitate the aquifer. Directly below the ground surface of the metropolitan area of Spokane County lies an enormous water-bearing layer of sand and water known as the Spokane-Rathdrum Aquifer. This aquifer serves as the only source of drinking water for more than 400,000 people.
Expanded growth has led to concerns regarding the future quality of this resource. Several water quality studies have been conducted over the last 15 years. Results of these studies prove conclusively that there is a continuous gradual degradation of the Spokane area's drinking water in unsewered areas. The major source of this pollution comes from the daily disposal of several million gallons of wastewater directly into the aquifer from on-site sewage disposal systems, i.e. septic systems, cesspools and treatment plants.
Revenue collected from the Aquifer Protection Area is used to help offset the homeowner costs for connecting to an approved sewer system. By providing sewers to homeowners with on-site systems, Spokane County is able to divert this contamination source to a suitable regional treatment plant, thereby protecting this area's drinking water.
In May 1985, the Washington State Legislature approved a bill giving counties the authority to create an Aquifer Protection Area. This measure was passed in the House by a vote of 96 to 2 and in the Senate by 44 to 3.
In July 1985, the Spokane County Commissioners passed a resolution creating the Spokane-Rathdrum Aquifer Protection Area. The resolution allows for the collection of fees for water withdrawal and on-site sewage disposal.
In September of 1985, this measure was approved by the voters who resided within the designated area. The voters authorized the collection of aquifer fees for a twenty-year period. The Aquifer Protection Area billing commenced in 1986 and the last billing year was 2005.
In November 2004, a ballot measure to collect Aquifer Protection Area fees for twenty more years was approved by voters. The approved measure includes most of the Aquifer Protection Areas from the previous twenty years, but excludes areas in the City of Spokane. Voting precinct changes over the last twenty years also resulted in some minor adjustments of the Aquifer Protection Area boundary.
Money collected from the Aquifer Protection Area are used to help offset the homeowner costs for connecting to an approved sewer system. The ballot measure approved by the public does provide other funding opportunities including:
The Washington State Legislature passed legislation in 1985 giving counties the authority to create aquifer protection areas. Further, the state authorized the imposition of two fees for aquifer associated impacts. First, a fee for the withdrawal of water and second, a fee for sewage disposal. The water withdrawal fee is charged to all citizens residing in the aquifer area who use the water. This charge helps insure that the water you drink will remain clean. The second fee, the sewage disposal charge, is charged to those citizens who dispose of their waste through any ground disposal method that may impact water quality, such as septic systems.

Our hotel is located in the historic center of Campeche City (declared World Heritage Site in 1999 by UNESCO), a few steps from the sea. It is surrounded by historic buildings, colonial houses, churches, forts and walls, souvenir stores, museums, convention center, bars and restaurants.
Located Near
The best way to explore Campeche City and its historic center is on foot, because everything is within a short walking distance, the Cathedral, the Main Square, the Historic Center, and even the Pier.
Out of Campeche City, the following places are worth visiting: the archaeological sites of Calakmul and Edzna, the caves of Xtacumbilxunaan, the beaches of Champoton and nearby villages full of tradition and culture, but for all of them, a car is necessary.

Happy (sneaky) summer skill building through play and creating!
Hi! Great ideas, thank you! I was wondering where you got the small, flat blocks? Love those!
I love the idea of sewing with the shelf liner. Any ideas for what to use as a kid friendly needle?
I'm also wondering where you got the colored, flat blocks. Those are beautiful! Thanks
Great question! We just use a large dull embroidery needle, or you can buy plastic needles or make your own with a twisted bit of pipe cleaner!
The colorful, flat blocks are Contina Bamboo Blocks -- here's a link to my original post about them:
I love the idea of using pasta as playdough cutters! Found you from Pinterest and repinned. Thanks so much for the ideas.
Great ideas as always!!.

Old Holland has been making artist colors since 1664, making it one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the art supplies industry. The company is known for uncompromising adherence to traditional techniques and standards. All color making is done by hand, and all processes are controlled by artists. Pigments are ground in stone rather than metal rollers.
Old Holland Watercolors contain up to twice as much pigmentation as some other "Artist" grade colors. To qualify for the status of "Classic," the greatest possible amount of each pigment is ground in the purest binders. This heavy pigmentation load makes Old Holland the richest and thickest of watercolor paints, and colors have a heavy consistency.
Although Old Holland formulas are very traditional, modern pigments that are more lightfast or less toxic have been substituted for older pigments such as Alizarin Crimson (less lightfast) and Vermilion (which formerly contained mercury). These modern colors are indicated by the word "extra" in the color's name.
Transparent glazing colors are indicated by the word "lake" in the color name. (In other watercolor lines, a "lake" color is a dye that requires an extra vehicle in its binder.)
Old Holland Classic Watercolors come in .20 oz (6 ml) tubes.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Comments On Jul 27, 2010: Tires are such a subjective subject, and everyone rides a little different, in different terrain and under different conditions. Most even have different expectations of their tires. I have ran no less than 6 different brands of tires on my bike now and these have lasted the longest, offered the most feedback and given atleast as much grip in all conditions as any other tire I have tried. These are what I will run on my bike for the rest of the bikes lif, and I expect that to be atleast another 100,000 miles.

President Barack Obama says he'll quickly sign the $50.5 billion emergency relief measure for Superstorm Sandy that the Senate approved Monday.
The bill was passed despite concerns from Republicans that it would add billions of dollars to the nation's debt.
Three months after Sandy ravaged coastal areas in much of the Northeast, Obama chided lawmakers for taking their time to approve the funding.

The Ring Game is a game that can be found on the Game Grid and is usually played by programs in gladiator style matches. It is also known as Hyperball.
The object of the game is to throw an energy ball at an opponent by using a cesta connected to the arm of the program and hit the rings of the platform that the opponent program is standing on. If the energy ball hits one of the rings, the rings disappears and if the program is not careful, he or she can fall through the gap and fall to their deresolution. The game is very similar to Jai alai, although with the ball thrown to the ceiling instead of a wall.
During the dictatorship of the MCP, the ring game was used to eliminate the programs that still believed in the users. As a result, Sark, the MCP's right-hand program, made Flynn play this game against Crom, another conscript. The most notable player is Kevin Flynn.
In video games
The ring game appears in TRON: Evolution - Battle Grids under the name Hyperball, which in some versions use hexagonal-tiled platforms that derez after a few hits instead of a series of rings.

Bamboo has been used as a building material worldwide for generations. It offers a tensile strength greater than steel, withstands compression better than concrete, and is more resistant to moisture than hardwoods. These inherent qualities however can only be taken advantage of with a proper harvesting and manufacturing process. The quality of the product you receive depends entirely on the care taken by the manufacturer - and Teragren does it better than anyone.
With over 20 years of experience behind us, Teragren employs both raw material selection techniques and our fine-tuned manufacturing technology to create high-quality bamboo products that are harder and more stable for lasting performance.
I had many samples of various woods and bamboo and I literally beat the daylights out of each. The Teragren bamboo was just as strong as the Brazilian hardwoods I was looking at, and just as pretty"
- Homeowner, Leah DeAngelis
Floors provide the foundation for the style and design of a room, and so choosing just the right one is an important decision whether remodeling or in new construction. Our traditional PureForm ™ floors offer a classic "bamboo look" while our Xcora™ strand bamboo floors feature a hardwood look-alike grain pattern. With over 50 styles across 11 collections, you are sure to find that perfect fit for your project.
Our Xcora™ strand bamboo is rated 160% harder than traditional oak and our PureForm™ collections
are 40% harder. Teragren's Portfolio flooring platform has been rated #1 not only among bamboo flooring,
but in the entire hardwood flooring category two years in a row by a leading consumer review publication.
Our Xcora™ engineered flooring options also ranked #1 in the engineered hardwood category in 2014.
The premium mountain grown Optimum 5.5 moso bamboo that is the only bamboo Teragren uses in all of our products is harvested every 5 and a half years. Each culm is selectively harvested by hand and carried out of the forest by foot. No machines or heavy equipment is used in order to preserve the integrity of the forest floor.
When harvested, the root system of the plant remains intact, helping to maintain the soil integrity of the forest. Within a year, a new shoot will emerge from the place where the bamboo culm was cut and will be ready to harvest again in another 5 and a half years, which qualifies bamboo as a "rapidly renewable" material. Because bamboo forests are a particularly effective carbon sink, Teragren products that arrive at your home or business are carbon negative, even after all transportation has been accounted for.
Considering that Teragren's Xcora® strand bamboo is 160% harder than oak, which takes on average 60 years
to mature before harvest, choosing a rapidly renewable material like bamboo allows us to meet the building product needs of the North American market with the smallest possible environmental impact.

The ingenious Kolo refill system has whatever you need to display and store photos, artwork, and scrapbook pages. Kolo believes that people value their photographs as much as museums treasure their fine works of art, and is committed to making the finest quality archival photo preservation products.
What is archival? In the simplest sense, archival materials will resist decomposing, disintegrating, discoloring, or reacting to other materials over time. If an acidic material is in contact with photos or memorabilia, the acid can migrate, or transfer, from the acidic materials to the photos, causing them to deteriorate and discolor. Lignin, a naturally occurring acid substance in wood that breaks down over time, causes paper with lignin to become yellowed and brittle as it ages. Merely being "acid free" does not assure that a product is archival. All Kolo papers are made to a special recipe and rigorously tested to ensure that they are acid free (a pH of 7.0), lignin free, and stable over time — genuinely archival. Kolo archival page refills won't harm treasured photographs and memorabilia.
Kolo protector pages are made of premium ultra clear polypropylene, a stable plastic product that is free of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which can also harm photographs. Kolo protector pages simply slide right over album pages, protecting them from fingerprints and harmful environmental elements such as dust.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

And scientists in nearly every field say that to expedite innovation, they need to view matter in more detail and in more conditions and time scales than today's synchrotron X-ray technology allows.

Leave it to The Onion to publish the definitively cynical, black humor journalistic piece on the Aurora theatre shooting. It was so funny it wasn't.
According to the nation's citizenry, calls for a mature, thoughtful debate about the role of guns in American society started right on time, and should persist throughout the next week or so. However, the populace noted, the debate will soon spiral out of control and ultimately lead to nothing of any substance, a fact Americans everywhere acknowledged they felt "absolutely horrible" to be aware of.
With scalpel-like precision, the American populace then went on to predict, to the minute, how long it will take for the media to swarm Aurora, CO, how long it will take for them to leave, and exactly when questions will be raised as to whether or not violence in movies and video games had something to do with the act.
The Onion did leave out the teddy bear and flower memorial at the theatre. And of course, it wasn't violence in movies and video games my colleagues obsessed over. This time, they got down to the gun control battle almost immediately, with the usual, emotion-driven, completely unreasonable results.
Can't we just mourn the tragedy without one side immediately blaming lax gun laws and the other, equally quickly, calling for more concealed weapons in public?
asked one of my colleagues on Facebook, and the answer was quickly clear, from another: "No, we cannot."
Well, I know one cable television news anchor who wouldn't take part in the usual bullshit. Will McAvoy. Will McAvoy would be sensitive to the victims in the tragedy and still not get bogged down in the either/or, emotionally charged garbage that passes for news in this country anymore.
Yeah, Will McAvoy, my beloved colleagues. The guy on Aaron Sorkin's new HBO show The Network that you keep laughing about. Nervous laughter maybe? Because you are the very ones decrying the bullshit that the fictional McAvoy is taking head on. The bullshit that you complain loudly about and never lift a finger to stop.
Hey, I know it's hard. You've got Jane Fonda to think about. Oh, wait. Jane Fonda would be right with you if you really wanted to change things. It's Fonda's character on The Newsroom who worries about the money. And threatens to get rid of employees who won't play the game.
See, here's the thing. Sorkin, who is not a pleasant fellow but nevertheless does entertaining television, doesn't give us real life. I'm sure none of you think The West Wing was remotely true to life. It was idealized, the same way The Newsroom is idealized. It's what we wish would happen but not a damn one of us will do anything to create.
So I'm gonna go out on the proverbial limb here and talk about this like I think Will McAvoy would, and Will — he wouldn't shy away from the gun arguments.
But he also wouldn't get into the he said/she said of the pro and anti gun lobbies. Neither will I. Full disclosure: I do not like guns. I do not own one, and I won't own one. I do not hunt, and I am not so afraid that I feel I must protect myself with a weapon that is much more likely to end up hurting me or someone I love than anyone else. I have fired guns, however, and am a pretty good shot. But I'm older now, and wiser. Guns don't kill people. People with guns do.
The United States has a pretty high per capita of gun murders, suicides and accidental deaths. It's significantly lower than, say, South Africa or Colombia, but only slightly below Mexico, and way higher than a whole bunch of countries that have sane gun laws.
Sane gun laws like people should not be able to buy assault weapons. For what earthly reason do you need an assault weapon? It is not a hunting rifle. And 6,000 rounds of ammunition? Seriously? It's even easier to buy ammo, y'know, than a gun. Except maybe in Colorado or Texas. Obviously. That picture, by the way, is of a couple of SWAT dudes with AR-15 assault rifles and 90-round drum magazines. The Aurora shooter had 100-round drum magazines.
I don't begrudge anybody who wants to buy a gun for protection, although I do think you shouldn't oughta do it. I think we need fewer guns, not more guns. We have too many already, and it's not helping. But no, I'm not for laws banning guns. We need to turn away from them voluntarily.
So naturally, after this tragedy in Colorado, I waited patiently until someone said
If more sane, law-abiding citizens were carrying guns, this guy might have thought twice.
Or at least less innocent people would have been hurt.
Actually, the correct word is "fewer." Fewer innocent people. Less innocent people — well, maybe the writer actually did mean that — as in, maybe the shooter is "less innocent" than the other people — but I really don't think so.
Either way, it's absolutely wrong, unless the "sane, law-abiding citizens" carrying the guns were special ops forces, trained to work against some dude in a gas mask who tossed tear gas into a darkened theatre and then proceeded to use multiple weapons, including the aforementioned assault rifle and its drum cartridges.
No, if "more sane, law-abiding citizens were carrying guns" at that theatre, there'd be a lot more people dead.
But we won't talk about sane gun laws. We'll talk about either/or. We should have no gun laws or no guns. Yeah, I'm all for no guns, but not laws to make it so. Just sane laws to keep some of the crazy shit out. But it's so much more fun and emotional to take extreme ends and pit them against each other on network news. And that's what the news has become. Emotional appeals. Scare people. Freak them out. Make them cry. But for god's sake don't temper that with any rationality.
Yeah, temper it. Not overcome the emotion with impeccable reason. That's the problem here — and it's why people like James Holmes and that guy at Virginia Tech go all batshit and shoot up people. It's simple: We don't know how to balance emotion and reason. We think it's supposed to be either/or, and it's not.
And here, we typically think of emotion as something less — y'know, women are more emotional, and women aren't as important or valuable as men, who are so much more rational. But what happens when you suppress your emotional side and do nothing to integrate it with your rational side?
You shoot up a movie theatre. Or overdose on drugs. Or become an alcoholic. Or beat your wife. Or kick a puppy. Or put on weird make-up and wear black all the time. Because sooner or later those icky old emotions will show up. Or Wolf Blitzer and a bunch of politicians will punch your buttons and your insides will open up and they'll just spill out.
We need to learn that heart and mind are the same thing, not two different "parts" of us that can never be reconciled. They ARE reconciled. We're the ones who keep forcing them apart.
Cuz when you let them be the same … you focus like a laser. You're unstoppable.
Just ask Will McAvoy.

A Maine-based legal advocacy group has filed suit against the federal government on behalf of low-income, disabled Mainers who have had their Medicaid benefits cut. Last year, Maine Gov. Paul LePage sought federal permission to cut or reduce state Medicaid coverage. In January, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services approved some of the cuts, which affect about 20,000 Mainers. Six-thousand of them are represented in the lawsuit, which alleges the cuts are illegal. Patty Wight has more.
It's not easy for states to place limits on Medicaid coverage. But the federal goverment does allow it under certain circumstances - say, if a state has a budget deficit. And that's the situation Maine was in when it requested the cuts last year.
Gov. LePage sought to save the state $20 million. The federal government denied most of that request, but did come back with a waiver that saved the state about $4 million. But some say even that move is illegal.
"My name's Jack Comart. I'm the litigation director of Maine Equal Justice Partners." Maine Equal Justice Partners is a non-profit legal aid organization, which represents a group of five Maine residents suing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for eliminating their Medicaid coverage.
Those five, in turn, represent a class of about 6,000 additional disabled or senior Mainers who face cuts or reductions in coverage that go into effect March 1. The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order to block the cuts from happening.
Comart says states can only scale back Medicaid coverage so much, and the cuts can't affect those making less than 133 percent of the poverty level, or those who are disabled.
"And in this case, the plaintiffs are disabled and they're also all below 133 percent of poverty," Comart says. "So for both reasons, the secretary's action is illegal."
Comart says of the 6,000 other Mainers affected by the cuts, virtually all of them are also below 133 percent of the poverty line. They face losing coverage for things like prescription drugs, co-pays, and monthly premiums.
Speaker of the House Mark Eves says fellow Democrats want to see the waiver repealed.
"Well, when we heard it we were initially surprised, and still are, that CMS went forward with the waiver request from Gov. LePage," Eves says. "We know that because of that decision, it's going to be harder for seniors to afford their prescriptions, see their doctors, put food on their table and provide heat in their homes."
But Assistant House Republican Leader Alexander Willette says the cuts to Medicaid were done in a bipartisan fashion, and though the decision was tough, there was good reason for it: "To cut and curb chronic Medicare overspending," he says. "And we believe that the courts are not the proper forum for policy debates."
But Jack Comart of Maine Equal Justice Partners says the state has not followed the law.
"You know, I understand that the state - the governor - makes certain decisisons - for example, they decided to cut taxes rather than do this," he says. "These were choices, and in this case, this was an illegal choice to make. There are legal choices and illegal choices. This was illegal."
Comart says he's optimistic the lawsuit will succeed. He'll get his first clue whether he's right on Friday, when he has a conference with a judge to try to convince the court to block the cuts.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services did not return calls by airtime. A spokesman for Maine's Department of Health and Human Services said it's policy not to comment on pending litigation.

Zanzibar Heroes are expected to compete in the 'World Cup' championship earmarked for countries that have no FIFA membership.
Twelve countries are lined up for the championship to be staged in Kurdistan from May 29 through June.
Zanzibar Football Association's information officer Munir Zachariah confirmed of the Heroes participation as the soccer association is making preparations for the team.
ZFA executive committee has appointed Ahmed Morocco as the head coach to be assisted by Pemba-based trainer Hafidh Muhidin.
Assa Khamis has been appointed as a manager of the team while Mohammed Mwinyi becomes a physician.
Zachariah said Zanzibar must feel honored to get such an opportunity as all expenses will be borne by the tournament organisers.
The ZFA official said coaches have been advised to workout a training programme such that they form a formidable side to compete in the championship.
He said coaches should select competent players based on merit for good representation.
"This championship is very important for improving football standard of the Isles national team," said the ZFA spokesman.
The organizers have accepted the task of footing bills for return tickets, accommodation and other expenses, as confirmed by Zachariah.
Zanzibar's FIFA membership bid collapsed last year when the world governing body declared it ineligible.
FIFA recognizes Tanzania Football Federation as legitimate member of the body to represent the United Republic of Tanzania.
Meanwhile, ZFA executive committee has appointed Chipukizi head coach to be take control of the Zanzibar youth team, Karume Boys.
The coach will be assisted by Sheha Khamisi of the KVZ Zanzibar team as Dula Sunday becomes the manager while Khamis Bilal is team physician.

The Riverside Press-Enterprise ( http://bit.ly/YwIrVa) says 41-year-old Philip Garcia of Perris was arrested on April 10.
Sheriff's Sgt. Glenn Williams says the neighbor told authorities her husband had left for night work and she was getting ready for bed at about 9:30 p.m. when she heard a knock on her bedroom door.
The woman says she opened the door to find her neighbor standing there naked and possibly drunk. The man allegedly announced he was there to have sex.
She yelled at him to leave and called deputies, who found him lying naked in bed at his own home.

Alex Sanchez, the "anti-gang activist" who was accused last June of being a secret MS-13 gang shot-caller, is out on bail. (For background details, start here and follow the links.)
Sanchez's lawyer successfully beat back an Associated Press motion to make public the transcript of the star-chamber secret bail hearing conducted under the octogenarian aegis of Federal Quirky Judge For Life Manuel Real. (Go here for details.) His Honor agree to protect the spineless political hack(s) who testified on behalf of Sanchez.
Lesson: the public has no right to know anything and the First Amendment rights of a Free Press do not reach into the Realm of El Rey Real.
Meanwhile, Sanchez's supporters cooked up this nicely done video in which The Mother Teresa of Gangsterdom turns his soulful eyes to you (woo-woo-woo) in thanks. (Go here for link to the Simon & Garfunkel song, "Mrs. Robinson," to which the preceding parenthetical refers, kid.)
A nice touch in this video — which is making the rounds of the "immigration rights" movement — is the background music, a cover of Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up (For Your Rights)." None of Sanchez's bobbleheads want to get up, stand up, for their right, much less the right of the public, to know what went on behind locked doors in the chambers of Doktor Herr Schiedsrichter Real.
And completely forget about the rights of ordinary people to be free from gang violence.
As Kurt Vonnegut once wrote: poo-tee-wheet, poo-tee-wheet. Joltin' Joe — a "Real" role model — may be gone, but we still have Alex!
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home …
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you, woo woo woo …
DiMaggio was born in Martinez, California, the eighth of nine children born to immigrants from Italy, Giuseppe (1872–1949) and Rosalia (Mercurio) DiMaggio (1878–1951). He was delivered by a midwife identified on his birth certificate as Mrs. J. Pico. He was named after his father; "Paolo" was in honor of Giuseppe's favorite saint, Saint Paul. The family moved to San Francisco, California when Joe was one year old.

While some politicians, activists and academicians are agitating for the drafting of a new Union constitution, Chama Cha Mapinduzi legislator and prominent lawyer Nimrod Mkono has supported Attorney General Frederick Werema's stance against an entirely new constitution.
Mkono, who is the MP for Musoma Urban constituency, said in a telephone interview that he was surprised to see so many Tanzanians engrossed in the clamour for a new constitution.
He said there was no need to go for a new constitution simply to imitate Kenya, arguing that it would suffice for Tanzanians to settle for the required amendments to the current one.
"I am not quite sure what those demanding a new constitution are up to. I might even describe them as pseudo-academicians because you cannot draft an entirely new constitution as if the country has all along been administered without one. They should only identify what is required to be revised or added to the present constitution," Mkono said.
He said since he belonged to legal profession, he would never support a proposal for the drafting of a new constitution owing to the weak arguments advanced, adding that Tanzanians should instead sit down and discuss how the present constitution could be improved.
Mkono said the President, Parliamentarians and other leaders took an oath to defend the constitution and not to amend it, hence agitating for a new one was tantamount to mounting a coup d'etat against the United Republic of Tanzania.
"If those clamouring for a new constitution do not realise the import of their demand, I shall try to make it clear to them. During the campaigns we neither promised Tanzanians to come up with a new constitution nor to discuss the issue. The five hundred thousand Musoma rural citizens who voted for me have never asked for a new constitution. Now you are instigating people to draft a new constitution. Do you want to stage a revolution?" he querried.


text: As we approach the wind-down days of Black History Month 2014, it's refreshing to see other Black contributors besides the usual few names often presented — such as overlooked Black athletes who labored in virtual obscurity during the Jim Crow era. Thanks to the nonprofit Black Fives Foundation in New York for "tell[ing] the story of the pre-1950 history of African Americans in basketball." The "Black Fives" name comes from the all-Black basketball teams that played in Brooklyn, Harlem, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Pittsburgh, Newark and Los Angeles. These teams "ushered in the Harlem Renaissance period, smashed the color barrier in pro basketball and helped pave the way for the Civil Rights Movement," wrote founder Claude Johnson on the foundation's website (www.blackfives.org). Johnson and director Loren Mendell teamed up with Fox Sports Net, which broadcasts NBA games for 13 teams including the Minnesota Timberwolves, to create a series of 30-second TV vignettes honoring Black Fives era pioneers during Black History Month. They are aired during halftime of the telecasts. Continue Reading →
