NEW YORK (AP) — Krispy Kreme's stock jumped to its highest level in more than a year on Tuesday as the chain's third-quarter results topped analysts' estimates. It also provided a fiscal 2013 adjusted earnings forecast above Wall Street's view.
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. reported on Monday that its net income rose to $5 million, or 7 cents per share, for the three months ended Oct. 28. That compares with $4.7 million, or 7 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding a provision for deferred income taxes, earnings were 12 cents per share.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected earnings of 9 cents per share.
Revenue increased 9 percent to $107.1 million from $98.7 million. Wall Street forecast $104.7 million.
Revenue at company stores open at least a year rose 6.8 percent on increased traffic. Revenue at domestic franchised stores open at least a year climbed 5 percent. This figure excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.

Let me preface this blog with a confession: I missed Wynton Marsalis' speech at NSBA's 70th Annual Conference last weekend in Chicago. I've since heard that his speech and performance was one of the best in recent memory at an NSBA event, and we've had some pretty darn good speakers in recent years (Bill Clinton, Sydney Portier, Sandra Day O'Connor, to drop a few names).
For me, the most important speech of the conference wasn't a General Session headliner, it actually took place in a jam-packed room on the fourth floor. But I believe what Diane Ravitch had to say was pretty close to revolutionary in the 15 years I've covered education policy. My former NSBA colleague, attorney Tom Hutton, called it a "watershed" moment in education reform.
My second confession: I hadn't read Ravitch's new book, "The Death and Life of the Great American School System," before listening to her speech. I had read lots about it, and how she's changed her views on issues such as school choice, testing and accountability models, and free enterprise as a model for K-12 education reform.
Fortunately, Ravitch walked the audience through the chapters of the book and explained how she had changed her mind about a lot of the concepts she'd previously endorsed (there's been a lot more research since the inception of standards-based reform in the 1990s and No Child Left Behind, for one thing).
It all started when she decided to have her home office repainted and had to pack up and sort through some 30 years worth of books, papers and memorabilia. It was then that Ravitch, who began her career as an education historian, served in the George H.W. Bush administration, and later became a conservative-leaning analyst, began examining the ideals versus the implementation of NCLB and current political climate.

A major bill to raise annual vehicle registration fees to pay for road and bridge improvements squeaked through another vote today at the state Capitol.
Senate Bill 108, known as FASTER, won initial approval in the House, over the objections of every House Republican and four Democrats, including the House majority leader. It must still receive another vote in the House.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Joe Rice, D-Littleton, urged his colleagues to pass the bill, saying it is critical the state invest money to repair its aging infrastructure. He said the work generated by the bill would preserve as many as 8,000 jobs in Colorado and generate new ones.
"The cost to doing nothing is much greater than the cost of this bill," Rice said. " Things wear out. The infrastructure wears out. This is an important part of the solution. It's something we can do now."
Republicans, meanwhile, continued to blast at the bill's registration fee increases and complained that their suggestions to fix the bill went unheard.
"We have a fundamental difference that this is a fee bill instead of a broader bill," House Minority Leader Mike May, R-Parker, said. " We don't have a solution together for Colorado. We have a bill that we feel like we have had minimal input on the process."
State representatives Tuesday argued into the evening over the bill, and the vote on the bill followed a by now familiar pattern for FASTER, which sponsors once hoped would be a bi-partisan effort but has seen a string of largely party-line votes since it was introduced.
Lawmakers from the two parties squabbled over registration fees, rental car fees, mass transit funding, eminent domain, tolling and just about any other issue the bill potentially touches in an exhaustive debate that lasted several hours.
Things got so contentious that Rep. Jack Pommer, D-Boulder, offered an amendment out of frustration that "no one shall have any power to charge anybody anything to support the transportation system."
"Let's vote yes and go home," Pommer joked.
FASTER would ultimately raise vehicle registration fees by $41 for the average car — an amendment Tuesday phases in the fee increase over three years instead of two — generating more than $250 million a year for road and bridge fixes. The bill would also charge a $2-a-day fee on rental cars and would give local governments the authority to put tolls on existing roads if the governments get the buy-in of all communities that would be impacted by the tolls.
In one of the more bi-partisan moments of the debate, a group of Democrats and Republicans fought unsuccessfully to take the tolling provision out of the bill. Rep. Edward Casso, D-Thornton, said Colorado residents shouldn't have to pay to use roads they've already paid for with taxes.
But Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, said the debate over FASTER shows the state has not adequately paid for its existing roads and bridges.
"We've got to be creative with how we fund our transportation system," she said.

Return to Classical Feminist Writings Archive Page
(Editor's Note: This the classic article on women's sexuality by the NY feminist Anne Koedt. It is one of the most popular pages on the site. This is the complete version.)
female orgasm and frigidity are discussed, a false distinction is
made between the vaginal and the clitoral orgasm. Frigidity has
generally been defined by men as the failure of women to have vaginal
orgasms. Actually the vagina is not a highly sensitive area and
is not constructed to achieve orgasm. It is the clitoris which is
the center of sexual sensitivity and which is the female equivalent
of the penis.
was Freud's feelings about women's secondary and inferior relationship
to men that formed the basis for his theories on female sexuality.
The explanation
given was that women were envious of men - renunciation of womanhood.
Thus it was diagnosed as an anti-male phenomenon.
But the
severest damage was not in the area of surgery, where Freudians ran
around absurdly trying to change female anatomy to fit their basic assumptions.
The worst damage was done to the mental health of women, who either
suffered silently with self-blame, or flocked to psychiatrists looking
desperately for the hidden and terrible repression that had kept from
them their vaginal destiny.
with extensive knowledge of anatomy, with Kelly, Kinsey, and Masters
and Johnson, to mention just a few sources, there is no ignorance
on the subject. There are, however, social reasons why this knowledge
has not been popularized. We are living in a male society which
has not sought change in women's role.
clitoris has no other function than that of sexual pleasure.
The Vagina- Its functions are related to, the reproductive function. Principally, 1) menstruation, 2) receive penis, 3) hold semen, and 4) birth passage. The interior of the vagina, which according to the defenders of the vaginally caused orgasm is the center and producer of the orgasm, is:
The degree of insensitivity inside the vagina is so high that "Among the women who were tested in our gynecologic sample, less than 14% were at all conscious that they had been touched." (Kinsey, p. 580.)
Even the importance of the vagina as an erotic center (as opposed to an orgasmic center) has been found to be minor.
Deception- The vast majority of women who pretend
vaginal orgasm to their men are faking it to "get the job."
In a new bestselling Danish book, I Accuse, Mette Ejlersen
specifically deals with this common problem, which she calls the
"sex comedy." This comedy has many causes. First of all,
the man brings a great deal of pressure to bear on the woman, because
he considers his ability as a lover at stake. So as not to offend
his ego, the woman will comply with the prescribed role and go through
simulated ecstasy. In some of the other Danish women mentioned,
women who were left frigid were turned off to sex, and pretended
vaginal orgasm to hurry up the sex act. Others admitted that they
had faked vaginal orgasm to catch a man. In one case, the woman
pretended vaginal orgasm to get him to leave his first wife, who
admitted being vaginally frigid.

RISMEDIA, August 3, 2009-The following is a statement by National Association of Realtors® President Charles McMillan:
"NAR would like to congratulate and thank Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and Federal Housing Administration Commissioner Dave Stevens for implementing the FHA-Making Home Affordable Loan Modification Program. This newly enhanced program will help struggling homeowners who qualify to significantly reduce their monthly mortgage payments and keep the home they worked so hard to obtain.
"As Secretary Donovan noted, this is another tool the federal government is providing to help homeowners avoid foreclosures by making mortgage payments more affordable. These changes expand the Obama administration's Making Home Affordable Loan Modification Program to include FHA borrowers, and Realtors® are optimistic that this will have positive implications for thousands of homeowners.
"Until foreclosures have been significantly reduced and housing inventory reaches a more normal level, there can be no true housing recovery. The FHA-HAMP program will go a long way in achieving these important goals by helping FHA servicers bring mortgages current, buy down loans by up to 30 percent of the unpaid principal balance, and defer these amounts until the first mortgage is paid off.
"The actions taken over the past several months are beginning to help stabilize the housing market. Now, helping more families stay current on their mortgage and remain in their homes will reduce the impact of foreclosures on families and communities.
"Moving forward, NAR will continue to call on Congress and the Obama administration to expand the first-time homebuyer tax credit to all homebuyers and to continue efforts to streamline the short-sale process. Along with the expanded loan modification program, addressing these issues will help reduce foreclosures and housing inventory, and stabilize home values."

I was 20 years old. arrived in Danang joined up with motor-T c-co. First marine division up at Phu-bi
about 50 miles north in late July 1968. After about a month our outfit joined up with 10th motors in Danang. I went temp. assigned duty to HIll 1/90.
I was attached with alpha, bravo, and delta co.
They came in from the bush and remained on the hillfor about one month at a time to regroup
rest a little, guard the hill pull night ambushes,
and get any medical attention and then rotate
back into the bush. I was the truck driver for 1/26 marines until I hit a land mine shortly after
leaving the hill on a resupply run for a couple pallets of sea rations in Da nang. My shotgun rider and myself got messed up really bad.
we flew into the windshield upon impact and
caved in the split window frames. I was blown out of the duece and 1/2. The entire multi-fuel engine was blown to bits, and MIke ? rode in the truck until it came to a sudden stop. My truck 347706 was destroyed. the mine left a giant crater where the road used to be. I later saw
MIke ? on the U.S.S. Repose. He had a very serious head injury. I never saw him again.
HE was a guamaniam marine 1/26 marines.
I think delta co. I was sent home with two broken legs and head and back and neck injuries
I had the floorboards sand bagged and that is
probably what saved mike's legs. I was called
plain old (truck driver by the men on the hill.
We all had nick names at the time. Any one
remember the mining innsodent Dec.19, 1968
at 2:30 p.m. Radio man, Doc, search light?

Today in Hip-Hop: Jay Z Drops 'Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life'
On this day, Sept. 29, in hip-hop history…
1998: Before the Tom Ford suits… Before he rubbed elbows with the President… Before he even met his world-famous wife, Shawn Carter was the hottest act in rap and the coolest man on the planet. In September 1998 with a show-stopping sample from a Broadway show to lead the way, Jay Z dropped Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life and nothing quite has ever been the same in American pop culture.
It is true that many consider Jay Z's 1996 debut, Reasonable Doubt, to be the finest effort of his career and over the years, it's become fashionable for fans and critics to state you were down with Jigga from day one. Numbers don't lie. Although it won respect in the streets and sold solidly at the time, Reasonable Doubt was relatively small potatoes compared to many of Jay's contemporaries when it came to sales. Vol. 2 was his undeniable breakthrough on a mainstream level, selling over five million copies and becoming Jay's highest-selling album to date.
While the album was criticized at the time for it's overtly mainstream bent and less intricate flows, Vol. 2 contains some of Jay Z's most indelible songs to-date. The Annie-sampling title track, "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)," is often considered one of the greatest rap singles of all-time while hits like "Can I Get A…," "Nigga What, Nigga What (Originator 99)," and "Money, Cash, Hoes" kept the album on the charts for months.
Years later, Jay Z is arguably rap's most legendary figure, continuing to sell millions of records with the release of his 12th studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, and hobnobbing with President Barack Obama. Vol. 2…Hard Knock Life's legacy is the moment that finally powered Jay Z to the mainstream.

February 2011
In November 2010, a new combo pill was submitted to the FDA for approval. If approved, this would be the second full-regimen pill on the market next to Atripla. The pill combines the new NNRTI rilpivirine with a standard NRTI combination of Truvada (tenofovir + emtricitabine) and may be approved before the end of 2011 for people new to HIV treatment.
In studies comparing the new combo pill to Atripla [Sustiva (efavirenz) + Truvada], the new combo pill appears to be as potent as Atripla, though with fewer side effects. Many have difficulty tolerating some of the potential side effects from the Sustiva in Atripla, such as vivid or disturbing dreams. Studies showed that nausea was common among both regimens. However, rash and central nervous system side effects were much less likely to occur with the new combo pill.

Training surge at Graf to prep forces for Afghanistan
August 3, 2010
By Denver Makle, Joint Multinational Training Command Public Affairs
Related Links
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany (Aug. 3, 2010) - August marks the beginning of a three-month surge in training at the Joint Multinational Training Command's Grafenwoehr Training Area and Hohenfels Training Area in eastern Bavaria.
The training includes tactics for Counter-Improvised Explosive Device, International Security Assistance Force training, and full-spectrum operations, as well as small-arms qualifications, vehicle gunnery, and live-fire exercises.
Rotational exercises are scheduled to bring the 170th Infantry Heavy Brigade Combat Team, the 15th and 54th Engineer Battalions, and soldiers of multiple NATO countries to the training areas, which will prepare them for missions in Afghanistan.
"The training in August is a surge because of the confluence of small exercises that came together to create a larger exercise," said Maj. Kevin Broadnax, G3 (Training) plans officer, at the Joint Multinational Training Command in Grafenwoehr, Germany. "We are using all of the Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels training areas to support the training."
Hohenfels Training Area is the home of the Joint Multinational Readiness Center. During a typical training scenario a brigade headquarters is at Hohenfels, or HTA, long-known as the Army's premier maneuver training site in Europe.
Units train at HTA, while subordinate units are dispersed throughout Grafenwoehr Training Area, or GTA, well-known for its vast live-fire capabilities, or various other training areas in the region.
"Instrumentation towers at Grafenwoehr allow Soldiers to operate over much larger areas, replicating closer-to-reality distances for commanders and their staffs," said Dan Hoeh, director of instrumentation, training analysis, computer simulations and support at JMRC. "The hardware and antennas at Grafenwoehr are integrated into the JMRC, and provide the commander of the Operations Group and his senior trainers situational awareness of the two separate training areas."
Soldiers move from one training area to the other, and are monitored at all times. The infrastructure allows the operations group to collect more training-feedback, data, execute better command and control, and provide better feedback to the training unit commanders and Soldiers, said Hoeh.
"The training prepares the units for deployment. We've requested observer/controller augmentation and enabler support from other units in U.S. Army Europe to execute the rotation," Broadnax said. "We have multinational forces either training with U.S Soldiers, or supporting the rotational training units."
Soldiers from the Republic of Georgia are participating in a mission-rehearsal exercise this month. Likewise, during OMLT XVI, NATO is planning for training with U.S., French, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, Spanish, Slovakian, Slovenian, Finnish, Polish, British, German, & Afghan participation.
Currently, on-going mission support to the International Security Assistance Force involves Soldiers from about 44 different troop-contributing nations, known as TCNs. The JMTC provides training to 39 of 44 TCNs.
The multinational participation replicates the current operating environment in Afghanistan.
"NATO sends their Soldiers here to train. It's a readiness exercise," said Capt. Ron Gevry. "They don't have a dedicated opposing force, instrumentation and training aids to improve their capacity, and they get immediate-feedback on their staff processes."

Will labor with my second child be shorter?
During the labor of my first son, it lasted a total of eight hours. I was induced with oxytocin, so that probably sped things up. This "waiting for labor" thing kind of scares me. Deliveries proceeding first-borns are supposed to be quicker, what if I wait to long to get to the hospital? The "mandatory" delivery location that i'm supposed to go to is quite a drive from our house. Should I notify my doctor that because I was induced I have no idea what i'm doing?

Excellent Fitting Supportive Top!
I have a hard time finding underwire swimsuit tops in cute fabrics in a D-cup. This one is great. It's supportive with good coverage. I am 50 years old, 5"2"' 116 lbs. I got this in the 32D and the 34D. I don't like a lot of cleavage showing. Both fit very well with the 34D having slightly more coverage. I love the floating underwire. It makes for a really good fit. Also I like that there is no weird padding to get all bunched up. I'm keeping them both!

Mark of Caesar
Revision as of 22:00, January 17, 2012 by TwoBearsHigh-Fiving (Talk | contribs)
22,762pages on
this wiki
this wiki
The Mark of Caesar is a quest item in Fallout: New Vegas.
It is a necklace given to the player by Vulpes Inculta (or Alerio, if Vulpes was killed) upon exiting The Tops Casino after completing Ring-a-Ding-Ding! as part of the quest Render Unto Caesar. The Mark allows safe passage to Caesar's camp, even if the player has a low reputation with Caesar's Legion.
- The Mark of Caesar effectively removes all of the Courier's infamy. For example, if the Courier had a reputation of Wild Child prior to receiving the Mark of Caesar, they would now be Idolized among Caesar's Legion.
- Being a quest item, the Mark of Caesar cannot be dropped, even if the Courier sides with the New California Republic in the Second Battle of Hoover Dam.
- Caesar's Legion may still be hostile towards the player even while carrying the Mark. This occurs if the player travels with a companion that is hostile towards the Legion.
- They will also be hostile if you are wearing a hostile faction's clothing while wearing the Mark of Caesar.
- Attacking Legionaries, or otherwise gaining Caesar's Legion infamy, will result in the failure of the quest Render Unto Caesar, despite holding the Mark.
- Attacking Vulpes Inculta or Alerio when either of them gives you the Mark will result in the Legion becoming permanently hostile.
- This item is identical in appearance to the Legion Denarius.
- If the player uses setquestobject 001374ae 0 on the Mark of Caesar and dropped, it will look like a holotape.
- It is possible to gain two of these. By fast-travelling after leaving the Tops, you will have one added to your inventory; then go back to the Strip and talk to Vulpes or Alerio, and they will give you one more.
- pc You can get a second mark when leaving The Fort.

A note by my colleague as how powerful this candy may be, "Tak stut pun stut."
Joke for the day…
The mother-in-law stopped unexpectedly by the recently married couple's house. She rang the doorbell and stepped into the house. She saw her daughter-in-law standing naked by the door. "What are you doing?" she asked. "I'm waiting for my husband to come home from work," the daughter-in-law answered.
"But you're naked!" the mother-in-law exclaimed.
"This is my love dress," the daughter-in-law explained.
"Love dress? But you're naked!"
"My husband loves me to wear this dress! It makes him happy and it makes me happy. I would appreciate it if you would leave because he will be home from work any minute."
The mother-in-law was tired of all this romantic talk and left. On the way home she thought about the love dress. When she got home she undressed, showered, put on her best perfume and waited by the front door. Finally her husband came home. He walked in and saw her standing naked by the door.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"This is my love dress" she replied.
"Needs ironing." he said.

1001 things I'm not allowed to do.
Pretty simple, here. A list of 10001 things that one should not do during a D&D session, lest they piss off the DM.
1. I am not allowed to cast true resurrection on dragonscale armour. (Especially when someone is wearing it.)
(also, if we manage to get to 10001, I will personally ask all of you for your addresses and bake you all a cookie)
2. I am not allowed to play a multiclassed Fighter/Cleric/Mage/Thief, because thats way too many classes and its unfair to the party's actual Fighter, Cleric, Mage and Thief.
3. I am not allowed to make any attack I make a called shot to the nuts.
4. When playing a Bard, I am not allowed to actually sing a song, whether it is made up or i heard it on the radio. "My singing irritates the Dm's ear drums" :D
5. Even if we're allowed to play cat-like characters, none of them can wear a hat.
(Watching the Cat in the Hat right now :P)
6 I am not allowed to tie up my enemies and toss them to hungry monsters in order to avoid random encounters.
7 I am not allowed to use basic real world knowledge of botany to kill off entire armies with relatively little difficulty.
8 I am not allowed to have a decanter of endless water. Ever.
(And by "not" I mean "no longer")
9. I am not aloud to take ranks in Perform: Mime.
10)I am not allowed to give my cohort the leadership feat.)
11) I am not allowed to have my cohort take ranks in Perform:Mime
12) I am not allowed to do anything that would make me more evil than the current big bad.
13) I am not allowed to purposely use overpowered, outdated rules just because the DM doesn't know there was a fix on them.
14) I am not allowed to recreate any scene from Caligula.
15) I am not allowed to start a fight that I know the party can't win.

Los Angeles Lakers (2) vs Dallas Mavericks (3)
Final Score: Lakers 94, Mavericks 96
Series: Mavs lead 1-0
Post game
Not since the 80's have the Lakers faced the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA playoffs. Maybe L.A. thought Dallas still had Sam Perkins and Mark Aguirre playing rather than the 4th quarter giants Dirk and J. Terry because this silly loss left fans in shock. Lakers had the W in the palm of their hands but just fell apart late in the 4th. Honestly I'd rather see L.A. lose convincingly than to see a stumbling Kobe in the closing seconds and consequently see Gasol turnover the ball to gift wrap the victory for Dallas. We couldn't stop the 7-foot German from scoring at will.
BTW how many times do the cameras need to point to that annoying owner of theirs? His face got more camera time than Kobe and Kobe was playing. Mark needs to smoke a Cuban in the owners box. We don't need him to hackle. Dude let your coach Jim Carrey do his job.
Again I'm left bitter after a game 1 loss so I'm desperately looking for anything to make me feel better and thank you Chicago for being my savior. The Bulls lose at home tonight against the 5th ranked Atlanta Hawks. Okay now I feel much better.
Let this be a lesson learned for the champs. Never have your big men defend the inbound pass late in games.
Click below for tonight's post game numbers. You decipher the digits and pin-point where we went wrong. I'm tired and my nails are gnawed down to the bone.

For obvious reasons, the event to announce the top 100 best performers in the mid-sized private enterprises business category, which took place a few days ago, got less than its fair share of local media publicity.
We say the reasons are well known, although unwarranted, given the fact that most media outlets tend to give prominence to political stories, including those revolving around what the controversial Rostam Aziz calls "gutter politics".
The project of making a survey on mid-sized companies in order to establish and recognise the first 100 ones leading the pack is a brainchild of Mwananchi Communications Limited, working in partnership with KPGM Tanzania audit firm. We are told the survey attracted participation of more than 200 enterprises, ready to venture and compete.
Why do we say the initiative is important and deserves more media publicity in future than it got this time round? Let it be noted at this juncture that the idea by the private sector operators to find out how mid-sized businesses are performing has come at a time when even the government is preoccupied with a similar mission. In short, the government backed national baseline survey on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is in the pipeline, and the results are expected to be out soon.
Both surveys have short and long term implications, as well as benefits to the enterprises involved and society stakeholders in this sector. The Ministry of Trade and Industries conservatively estimates that there are more than 2 million SMEs in the country.
There is no doubt that the baseline survey results are likely to establish that the number of SMEs in the land is significant, and provide livelihood to a good number of Tanzanians as well as offering a wide range of services to other society members. Given the alarming rate of unemployment at home and elsewhere, any activities contributing to the alleviation of this social problem ought to be taken seriously.
Economic observers rightly note that most foreign commodities dumped in the local market, both genuine and counterfeit ones, are produced by SMEs in Asia, China and other Far East countries. The lesson here is that SMEs need not be taken for granted.
If they can boost the economy in other places, why can't their potential be exploited here? Surely, the inflow of foreign commodities which do not require sophisticated technology to manufacture can only be curtailed if there is an alternative option.
Secondly, it is rightly envisaged that Tanzanians can make inroads into the East African regional trade by identifying commodities which can be produced at a comparative competitive advantage by mid-sized enterprises and strategically exploit the potential inherent in this big market, destined to increase when South Sudan gets on board. The Mwananchi/KPMG survey has shown that some of the winners are good enough to compete regionally.
It is little wonder then that some of the winning enterprises have categorically stated that what they have achieved is a big morale booster, and a source of more confidence. They now feel the sky is the limit and encouraged to commit themselves to more ambitious targets.
Given the fact that some Tanzanians, by nurture not by nature, have been victims of uncalled for inferiority complex where competing with other East Africans in many aspects is concerned, any initiative which can positively change this mentality should be warmly embraced.
Experts in the dynamics of underdeveloped economies will also tell you that a vibrant SMEs sector serves as a cornerstone for building a future industrial base in the countries concerned.
For societies which are neither technologically advanced nor financially strong, entertaining the idea that their economic advancement can begin with basing on heavy industries may easily amount to chasing a mirage, experts further contend.
It is also observed that the agricultural sector in the developing world, which is the backbone of the economy in most of these marginalised countries, is destined to gain from this approach. The possibility of exporting processed products, thanks to making use of SMEs, is not farfetched.
Let us hope that our economic planners will make use of some of the vital information gained from the survey under discussion and use it to, among other things, empower the SMEs in our midst for the good a wider society.

A family, brothers in blue, and a community joined together Friday to say goodbye to 22-year-old Officer Alexander Thalmann.
Hundreds of people filled Temple Baptist Church Friday afternoon for the officer's funeral.
After the hour-long service, police officers lined a church walkway as a Marine honor guard brought the casket to a horse drawn caisson.
The funeral procession went by the New Bern Police Department as a fire department ladder truck flew the American and New Bern flags overhead.
Mourners then headed to the officer's hometown of Washington for his burial.
Hundreds of police cars were part of that procession. On U.S. 17 outside of Chocowinity, it took more than 10 minutes for the motorcade to pass by.
Investigators said the 22-year-old officer was shot last Friday night at Craven Terrace in pursuit of a suspect. That man was killed by return gunfire, according to police.
On Monday afternoon, Police Chief Toussaint Summers Jr. made the somber announcement his officer had died from injuries at Vidant Medical Center.
Since the announcement of his death, officers said the community has rallied around the New Bern Police Department as they work through the grief of losing one of their own.
By Monday night, a memorial was created in front of the police station with a patrol car draped in black, adorned with flowers, balloons, and cards.
On Wednesday afternoon, nearly a hundred people gathered in front of the police station on George Street as a wreath was presented in front of the parked patrol car.
Officers from across the state paid their respects on Thursday in Thalmann's hometown of Washington.
The young officer served the City of New Bern for seven months before he was killed while on duty.

With news arriving last week that the American economy shrank during the fourth quarter of 2012, rethinking economic growth should be job one for every elected official in the nation. Because I see an information-fueled economic revolution coming full force at us, spurring that growth will require a complete break with our outdated approach to doing it.
Here are six ideas to put Colorado at the top of the growth scorecard for the next decade:
1. Set a goal of becoming "The Entrepreneurs' State," and use it as the guiding principle for all state economic policy.
The growth engine of the future is each of us — individuals, not large, inflexible corporations.
Colorado should take a forceful and high-profile set of actions to ensure that this truly is the best place on Earth to start and expand a business. While Gov. John Hickenlooper last week announce d a major branding initiative for Colorado, it's not clear yet if it's just an ad campaign or an effort to match words to deeds.
I can save the governor some time: Our brand should be "The Entrepreneurs' State." He's a dyed-in-the-wool entrepreneur himself and has every bit of credibility and knowledge needed to make it true. I've got a half-dozen specific policy recommendations to back it up, but we'll have to save that for a future column.
2. Chart a courageous new course for education.
Start at the higher-education level. Whether anyone likes it or not, the Internet is going to dismantle the higher-education system as we have known it over the next decade. Rather than sitting around watching it happen, let's be the Intel of the education world and attack our own model before outside forces knock it down for us.
And please — let's not ask our current university presidents to lead the charge. Institutions and their leaders, left to their devices, will act out of self-preservation and try to repel or deflect change. Get technologists and marketers and thinkers and entrepreneurs and poets to lead the charge and turn the whole model inside out.
3. Do everything a state possibly can do to separate health care from employment.
I wrote about this idea briefly in my column last year, but it's becoming more critical than ever. I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone say, "I'd like to try to start something, but my family needs health insurance." Obamacare's health-care exchanges are (almost accidentally) a good start, and fortunately Colorado has chosen to embrace the mechanism. But I'd also ask every legislator and health-care-company executive and entrepreneur to brainstorm on how to kill the notion that your health insurance comes through your job. It's deadly for an innovation economy. Colorado can lead the way here.
4. Make ubiquitous high- bandwidth connectivity available.
I'm an old cable-TV entrepreneur, so I'm not saying the state should start building public telecom networks. But as I read the heartbreaking Wall Street Journal story from last week about inner-city kids turning to McDonald's as the only place they can do their homework at night (because they don't have broadband access at home), I concluded we must provide always-on wireless Internet access in every populated place in the state of Colorado. Period. It can happen, and likely via a public-private partnership with Comcast and CenturyLink and the wireless carriers. We've got electricity in every home, don't we? And police radios? Anyone think this isn't just as important to our 21st-century way of life?
5. Launch a holy war for government reform.
Attack the state government's service-delivery model in every single function and every single department using secure cloud-based services and the astonishing open-source tools that make up today's Internet. Don't just find "efficiencies." Take a clean sheet of paper and rethink motor-vehicle regulation, mental-health-services delivery, corrections, everything. Be as informationalized as Amazon and as ruthlessly efficient as FedEx. Want to show people we're serious about innovation? Innovate.
6. Let Colorado be Colorado.
In a future that's increasingly driven by untethered, more flexible work styles and individual initiative, a state's natural amenities become more critical than ever to entrepreneurs. Climate, natural beauty, recreational opportunities and overall "quality of life" are to Information Age economy growth what harbors and forests and mines and railroad tracks were to the industrial economy. Every Coloradan knows the glories of our state. Let's make sure every potentially mobile entrepreneur across this country knows the same things.
I'm not suggesting we replace our fantastic state border-crossing signs. I just want Gov. Hickenlooper to paint in an extra line at the bottom. "Welcome to Colorful Colorado — The Entrepreneurs' State!"

Making 3s doesn't always mean a win
Sunday, April 3, 2011
HOUSTON (AP) — The 3-point line is what has brought the top and middle of college basketball much closer than ever.
But success from behind that stripe that sits 20 feet, 9 inches from the rim doesn't always mean victory, and a poor performance doesn't mean a loss.
Connecticut's 56-55 victory over Kentucky in the Final Four on Saturday night proved that.
The Huskies won despite making just one of 12 attempts from 3-point range, while Kentucky finished 9 of 27, including going 7 of 15 in the second half.
The 8.3 percent outing was Connecticut's worst long-range effort of the season, the previous worst was 2 for 14 (14.3 percent) and that also came in a win, 66-61 in overtime against South Florida on Dec. 31.
The game's first big twist was because of 3-pointers. Connecticut led 31-21 at halftime. Both teams combined for a total of three 3s, and two were by the team that was trailing.
The Wildcats came out torrid from behind the line to start the second half.
Brandon Knight and Darius Miller both hit 3s to start Kentucky's 14-2 run to open the second half, and Doron Lamb and Knight capped the spurt with two more 3s.
Lamb hit a 3 to tie the game at 42 with 11:15 left. DeAndre Liggins hit a 3 to halve Connecticut's biggest lead of the second half, making it 54-51 with 1:37 left.
The last 3 of the game was by Knight at the buzzer, but it was a cruel shot that left the Wildcats a point short of going to the title game to face Butler.
Connecticut didn't hit any of its six 3-point attempts in the second half, but sometimes that just doesn't matter.
"We were not getting any shots to go at all," said Connecticut freshman Shabazz Napier, who sealed the win by making both ends of a 1-and-1 with 1.7 seconds to play that gave the Huskies a four-point lead. "That is unusual for us."
The Huskies came into the game shooting 33.7 percent from 3-point range, and they made an average of 5.9 per game. Those numbers were even better in the four NCAA tournament games — 38.4 percent and seven per game.
Kemba Walker, Connecticut's All-America guard who has led the Huskies' 10-game postseason winning streak by averaging 26.3 points per game, had Connecticut's lone 3-pointer, and it came in five attempts. Napier missed all four of his attempts, Jeremy Lamb missed both of his and Jamal Coombs-McDaniel misfired on one. That's 1 for 12.
But what made the difference for Connecticut was the defense it employed in the first half to keep the Wildcats under control from long range in building the halftime lead.
"We ran them off of the 3-point line. We talked a lot about that," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said. "The big guys helped out early and got that 10-point lead. I felt very comfortable except for the rebounding. Then the second half they came out and made four straight. Now we're in a whole different kind of ballgame."
Liggins had his personal battle with making and missing 3-point shots.
"I mean, when I hit that 3, I gave my team a chance to win," Liggins said of the one that made it 54-51.
Then he missed a 3 with 3 seconds to play that would have put the Wildcats in front.
"No, it wasn't," he said when asked if the play was designed for him to take a 3. "I should have drove it. But I hit a 3 and I got fouled and I made a shot. And I thought I had the hot hand a little bit. It was a good shot, but it fell short."
Just like Kentucky.

Recently, a few hours after a recent snowstorm brought much of Connecticut to a halt, I met with Liesl Tommy who was directing the upcoming production of August Wilson's "The Piano Lesson" at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven. She and the cast were stuck in downtown New Haven and that day's rehearsal was going forward, snow drifts or no. (I lived downtown, too, and easily made it to the interviiew.)
We chatted at the Book Trader coffee shop, across the street from the Rep, which seemed fitting. That's where I had my last interview with Wilson in 2005. He was in town for the premiere of "Radio Golf," his final work of his 10-play Cycle. He died a few months later at the age of 60.
Wilson talked to me of the "ghosts" that he was surrounded by upon his return to Yale, the place where his professional career began 20 years earlier. But he talked of them lightly, almost playfully. Despite the pressures to conclude the Cycle and the upcoming world premiere, he seemed completely relaxed.
He was proud of his new play and happy to be completing his epic endeavor. But he was already talking about other projects, with the eagerness of a kid in a candy store.
He also said there was part of him that looked forward to seeing his 10 plays eventaully being published and beautifully bound -- something that TCG did exquisitely after his death with forwards by distinguished writers and artists.)
I talked to Tommy about a new generation of theater artists making Wilson's work their own. (That article will appear in Sunday's Arts Section of The Hartford Courant.)
"There are ghosts around me, too, " says Tommy, referring to the history that Wilson had at Yale and the Rep.
What resonates most for her with his work?
"We are constantly astounded by the language. There are times when after a scene in rehearsal we just look at each other and the hairs on the back of your neck are raised because it's all so rich, so deep, so resonante. It's a privilege to work on this material and we feel that every day, Working on a play written with such a sure hand is liberating and you can jujst sink into the work. As a director it's everything. It allows your imagination to take flight."
"I'd just thank him. With complete humility. Just thank him for his gift, for allowing himself to listen to the spirits and his voices and allowing it to pour out of him. How did he write this? It's magic. It's magic."
I tell her the story about the bound volumes of his plays and suggest that as much as he wanted to see them I was sure he didn't want the books to stay on the shelf.
Just then a Yale student in the cafe's courtyard in the spot where I last saw Wilson flopped to the ground and made a snow angel, flapping his arms and legs in a white drift. We both laughed at the young man's sense of playfulness, abandon and joy.
It seemed like an August Wilsion moment.

Thats total BS. I finished the game once in 4 days and as one of the trophies is to see all the endings they would have to finish it 17 times. Even a fast play through took me 2 days. Just the load times is a few hours then there is the gameplay. It takes at least about 4-5 mins to load each level.
When it was first talked about before it came out and to hype it up they said it had 26 endings but it looks like it ended with 17... I've seen 3 so far, on my 4th play through now.
The DLC has 5 endings and I've only seen 4 of them. I can't work out how to do the last one yet but I'm still trying.

Long Live the Little Man Defense!
How R. Kelly got off.
Read Josh Levin's first set of Dispatches from the R. Kelly trial. And there's more: Levin went back to Chicago for a second round of Dispatches. Click on the audio player below to hear Josh Levin read this entry. You can also download the audio file here.
R. Kelly's child pornography trial wasn't very complicated. On one side, you've got a 27-minute sex tape. This tape shows a man who looks like R. Kelly giving money to, having sex with, and urinating on someone who looks like his goddaughter, a girl who would've been around 14 at the time. All of this takes place in a log-cabin-style sauna room that looks exactly like R. Kelly's log-cabin-style sauna room. On the other side, you've got the Shaggy defense (It wasn't me!), the Little Man defense (It's my head on some other dude's body!), the Sparkle defense (I was framed by a bunch of money-grubbing lowlifes!), and the "ghost sex" defense (I'm actually not sure what the point of this one was, but there were headless people having sex and it was weird and creepy). On Thursday, the jury retired to weigh the evidence. On Friday, they emerged with a verdict: not guilty on all counts. R. Kelly walks, and Little Man becomes the first Wayans brothers movie to contribute to a man's welfare.
To my eyes—and to the eyes of pretty much every other courtroom watcher I talked to—R. Kelly's lawyers played better as a comedy team than as a defense team. I never quite bought, for instance, that a bunch of disgruntled hangers-on would have the energy or the wherewithal to hatch an extortionate scheme that centered on the manufacture and distribution of 30 minutes worth of seamless, Hollywood-quality, digitally crafted faux pornography. What was I missing?
Perhaps I simply paid too much attention to the defense team's razzle-dazzle. Looking back, I suppose it's possible that the jury would've acquitted if the defense had said absolutely nothing. As Kelly's lawyers mentioned multiple times, the alleged victim in this case—now a 23-year-old woman—told a grand jury that it wasn't her. While 15 friends and relatives testified that the girl in question was indeed on the video, neither the alleged victim nor her parents showed up in court to testify for either side. For all of the defense team's zany theories, it was most likely this simple fact that gave the jurors pause. As one juror told the Chicago Tribune, "at some point we said there was a lack of evidence." A VHS tape, it seems, was never going to be enough. The only chance the prosecution had was that Kelly would slip up and re-enact the crime within viewing distance of the jury box.
The defense, I'm guessing, will also send Lisa Van Allen a thank-you note. Van Allen, who testified that she had multiple threesomes with Kelly and the alleged victim, was supposed to be the state's star witness. Whatever the prosecution gained by calling a woman who says she saw Kelly and his goddaughter have sex, they lost a whole lot more as the defense chipped away at Van Allen's credibility. Rather than keeping the jury focused on the tape, state's attorneys Shauna Boliker and Robert Heilingoetter found themselves having to explain away their witness' ample character flaws: relationships with two men convicted of federal bank fraud, her admission that she stole Kelly's Rolex, an alleged attempt to solicit a bribe from the defense's private investigator. The legal lesson here: If your star witness is the kind of character who would have a threesome with R. Kelly, you probably need to find yourself a better star witness.
Aside from its overlong visit to the Van Allen radiation belt, the state didn't make any glaring errors. This wasn't the O.J. trial, where the prosecutors snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Boliker and Heilingoetter had the more-convincing forensic video analyst and the more-believable friends and relatives. When three defense witnesses said they knew the alleged victim wasn't the girl in the video, the prosecutors devised an ingenious, understated way to undermine their testimony, showing the witnesses and the jury a pair of identical-looking images: one from the sex tape, one from a video made by the alleged victim's musical group. But in the end, Boliker and Heilingoetter were undone by what they didn't have. Even without a cooperative victim, the state's attorneys might have swayed the jury if Judge Vincent Gaughan had allowed them to present evidence of Kelly's past transgressions, like the four known settlements he's paid to underage girls who've accused him of sexual misconduct. Once you know all of that stuff, it's somewhat hard to imagine that R. Kelly didn't tape himself having sex with an underage girl. If, like the jury, you don't know the singer's history, there's a lot more room for doubt.

The excessive heat across Eastern Carolina this week has everyone on high alert, especially local senior citizens. Health officials say they are more at risk of suffering from the ill-effects of the dangerously hot temperatures than any other age group. Those who handle senior citizen issues say some over the age of 65 lack the resources to obtain proper air conditioning and that factor, combined with the heat, could put many in danger of heat stroke. Seniors who don't have air conditioning are encouraged to seek places such as senior centers and shopping centers so they can get a break from the heat.

Reviews by overburning
Lovely concept.overburning | Dec. 22, 2012 | Review of Waveform - PC
A very simple game where you control your way through the level using sine (or cosine) graph. It has very little to do with maths however, just a very novel mechanic that is quite elegant in its execution. A simple drag of the mouse manipulate the wavelength and the amplitude, which can get quite difficult given the constant time pressure and obstacles through the level. The levels are short, making it ideal for a 5-10 minutes play section, though it can be quite easy to just keep playing. All in all, an addictive little game with a novel concept.
Decent DLC.overburning | Dec. 21, 2012 | Review of Sleeping Dogs DLC Nightmare on Northpoint - PC
There is not much new in this DLC, however, like the main game, the willingness of the developers to just being a bit silly and take advantage of the quite unique setting in video gaming pays off. The horror theme and Chinese zombies brought out some funny moments, not quite laugh-out-loud, but amusing. Other than that though, the gameplay itself is pretty repetitive, but given that it's based on the rather solid combat system of Sleeping Dogs, it is still fun to play through.
Fantastic game with some disappointing flaws.overburning | Dec. 21, 2012 | Review of Deus Ex Human Revolution (1) - PC
Really great game, one of the best of 2011 in my opinion. Having recently played Dishonored, stealth of DXHR feels a bit restricted, but nonetheless, it is a solid, cover-based-sneaking-around stealth game, with a certain degree of variety in completing a mission. The infamous boss fight is terrible however, and along with the disappointing last act (especially after the promising story before it), left a sour taste in my mouth. Still, it is a stealth game with a degree of freedom, and a very good one for the most part.
Great game from someone who doesn't like Batman.overburning | Dec. 21, 2012 | Review of Batman Arkham Asylum Steam - PC
I do not like batman, and yet I love this game. Story is great, the world is filled with details and easter eggs, and Joker once again steals the show. The FreeFlow combat system is perhaps the best I've ever played, every punch/kick is so satisfying. My only criticism is the boss battles, which pretty much follows the same formula, and that the game sorta forced you to go back to previous area for collectibles.
Overall a worthy sequel.overburning | Dec. 21, 2012 | Review of Batham Arkham City - PC
Batman Arkham City is, in my opinion, simultaneously better and worse than Arkham Asylum. Again it is a very detailed world to explore in, and it is nice that they tied in collectibles with easter eggs. The combat is as good as ever, and the boss fights are vastly improved. Yet the story seems to have suffered due to the open world nature of the game. It is less focused and as a result, the vast cast of villains seemed to have been underutilised, especially if compared to the superb effort of Askham Asylum.
Great stealth game, perhaps not so great Hitman game.overburning | Dec. 20, 2012 | Review of Hitman Absolution (1) - PC
A highly enjoyable stealth game, although some may find it a problematic Hitman game. Levels are smaller and divided into sections, there are also quite a few missions where the goal was to evade rather than to kill. Still, the game is still highly replayable with different solutions, and plenty of 'accidents' to try out. The game is also beautiful to look at, with diverse environments and highly detailed textures. Biggest problem as of now is the new disguise system, where people can spot you from afar, thus encouraging a stealth approach, often playing like Splinter Cell or Deus Ex Human Revolution (IO is working on a fix though).
Best open world game since GTAIV.overburning | Dec. 20, 2012 | Review of Sleeping Dogs - PC
Easily the best open world game after GTA. Combat is Arkham City-esque, probably less polished, but arguably more fun as it requires more player input with the ever expanding combo. A very solid story, lacks a bit in the character department, and the whole theme of conflicted identity never really got explored. Very surprised by the portrayal of Hong Kong, there are some confusion between canto (traditional Chinese) and mando (simplified), but overall a lively city that successfully remind me of the real place. Nothing new or innovative, but the whole package is executed fairly beautifully, bottom line: it's simply a really really fun game.
Great strategy game with some flaws.overburning | Dec. 20, 2012 | Review of XCOM Enemy Unknown POST - PC
Perhaps of the hype, I was actually slightly disappointed with XCOM: Enemu Unknown. The actual gameplay is great, a modern strategy game rather than one that rely on nostalgic. It is easy to learn and difficult to master, partly due to the probability-based gameplay. However, I am surprised by how many technical issues this game has, random freezes during the enemy's turn, and any level with multiple floors are barely playable as the game seems to confuse between which floor are the units on. The story element are also pretty poor, perhaps showing the lack of experience Firaxis had in this department. That said, the tactical gameplay more than cancels out these flaws, and makes this game a must-play for any strategy game fans.
Cannot recommend it enough.overburning | Dec. 10, 2012 | Review of Dishonored Nextway - PC
Arguably redefined the stealth genre, stealth made quick. Player freedom within a level is huge, using the verticality of the level, there is a real sense of freedom in the player controlled movement. Dishonored also has a very distinctive art style, and an extremely well-realised world, with plenty of opportunities for people who are interested to dive deeper into the lore. Silent protagonist however really limited the character development, but still the story was effective if predictable.
Simple fun.overburning | Dec. 10, 2012 | Review of Saints Row The Third - PC
A silly, fun open world game that knows what its strength is. From the first mission on, it is obvious that Saints Row The Third is going to be a crazy, over-the-top game, and the developers know that. Some of the laugh is a bit cheap, and it is disappointing that a pretty big portion of the main mission take the form of the side missions. Nonetheless, if the reason you play game is just to have some fun, you can't go wrong with Saints Row The Third.
Great campaign, generic gameplayoverburning | Dec. 10, 2012 | Review of Spec Ops The Line - PC
Spec Ops: The Line is a pretty typical third person shooter except for its story. The shooting and cover mechanic is everything you've seen before, which, combines with the relatively slow start of the story, can be quite discouraging. Yet if you stick by the game, the story is fairly interesting. It is not the standard military dudebro story, but a thought provoking one, whether it is an effective story is up for question, but that's more than most games provide us already. I would recommend this game to anyone interested in a story, but for those that just want a fun shooter, there really isn't anything special about its gameplay.
Immersive world and story.overburning | Dec. 7, 2012 | Review of Mafia II - PC
The first time I played Mafia 2, I found it lacking in many respect, the world they crafted seem underutilized, a lot of areas you will never explore (unless by collecting those wanted poster). While the environment is beautiful and immersive, the same character model of the pedestrians frequently break the immersion. Once I replay it however, I start to realise how great this game is. Despite what it may appeared to be, this is not an open world game nor a GTA clone. Its focus is entirely on its story, a brilliant period piece. The problems that existed within that story structure (eg. having you belongings taken away for narrative reason several times) is much more tolerable once you realise this is a not an open world game. It is far from perfect, but it is also the only game where I walk around (not run) and drive carefully to avoid any damage simply because of how much I enjoy being immersed in this world.

" We had an excellent time in Ars Hostel. Lukas, Tom and darik were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. The welcome shots went down a treat also. Location is excellent as right in the heart of the city with only about 10 minute walk either way to the Jewish Quarter or Main Square.. We stayed when it was quiet so not really an atmosphere but I reckon in peak season this place is even better. Only 3 bathrooms so may cause a bit of a queue when busy but over all a very good hostel. "- Anonymous
