CHICAGO, IL- August 14, 2013 – With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, commonly labeled "Obamacare," on the horizon, scammers are finding it to be the latest opportunity to steal people's identities.
"Scammers are calling consumers claiming they are eligible for health insurance cards in exchange for personal information," said Steve J. Bernas, president & CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. "Consumers should ignore these calls because providing information puts you at risk for identity theft."
Bernas explained the scams work like this: You receive a call from someone claiming to be from the federal government. The scammer says that you have been selected to be part of a group of Americans to receive insurance cards. But before the card can be mailed, your bank account and social security numbers are required. Once they get this information, they can sell it or use it to access your accounts.
"Affordable Care Act scammers are able to easily make consumers think that their calls are legit, especially with such a hot topic like Obamacare," Bernas explained. "Consumers need to realize that the government rarely calls individuals. If you receive this type of call, hang up."
The BBB offers the following tips to people who experience the affordable healthcare scams:

A Brooklyn man was sentenced Tuesday to 40 years to life in the shooting death of a man in a Richmond Hill barbershop bathroom in 2010, and for the attempted murder of another man there.
Kereim Richardson, 34, was convicted last month of second-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
According to trial testimony, Richardson was playing dice with several other individuals — including the deceased victim, Gary Bowlin, and a surviving gunshot victim — in the back room of a barbershop located at 135-02 Liberty Ave. after midnight on Dec. 29. 2010. At some point, Richardson and Bowlin were in the barbershop bathroom at the same time when witnesses heard shots fired and then observed Bowlin on the bathroom floor with gunshots to his head and torso. He died at the scene.
When Richardson exited the bathroom, he was grabbed by one of the dice players and they tussled, during which time Richardson shot the surviving victim twice, once in the nose and a graze wound to the hip.

Paxfest honors newborn whose life was cut short by cancer
Paxton Andrews' parents thought their newborn had a cold when they took him to the pediatrician. Sadly, it turned out that he had cancer. He died just shy of 5 months old.
His parents, John and Danna, who live in Bay View, decided to honor his memory last year with the inaugural Paxfest, which featured local bands including Fever Marlene and Maritime and food from Maxie's Southern Comfort and Blue's Egg. The event raised more than $15,000 for the Pablove Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research co-founded by Milwaukee native and Elektra Records president Jeff Castelaz, and named after his late son Pablo. »Read Full Article

The Best and Worst of 'Top Chef' D.C., Episode 4
Cooking for babies: So Tom and Padma both have infants. Tom and Padma are both judges on Top Chef. Tom and Padma are busy, flying here and there to run restaurants or write cookbooks or get pregnant. Tom and Padma don't have time for babies. Tom and Padma don't want to be turned into Child Protective Services. Tom and Padma ask the cheftestants during the Quickfire Challenge to cook a meal for them and their babies. Tom and Padma look like sensitive, caring parents. CPS pounds its fists in frustration.
The ghosts of spouses past: Earlier we learned that Timothy Dean still grieves for his wife who died three years ago from cancer. In Episode 4, we learned that Kenny Gilbert's first wife died, too. This is the most gruesome Top Chef in more ways than one.
Infant terrible: I don't know anything about baby food, other than it's usually bland. Babies are sensitive, even when it comes to their taste buds. Just as you wouldn't have your infant son strap on a batting helmet and face Stephen Strasburg before working his way through the minors, you don't serve your baby's developing palate a mush of penang-curry chicken. Or maybe you do? Padma picked Kenny's curry as her favorite. Tom, meanwhile, selected Tamesha Warren's vegetable chowder with grilled salmon and licorice oil. Licorice oil? Really? I'd hate to clean that diaper.
Luling calling: If this whole Top Chef gig doesn't work out, Padma might have a calling as a seed spitter. (See the Serious Eats picture above.) Too bad the Luling Watermelon Thump has just passed.
Judge snub?: The elimination round was a reach-around to the Hilton hotel chain, which no doubt needed some free help to devise a new dish for its menus. Of course, at this stage of the game, it's hard to summon much outrage for Top Chef's street-walkerlike ability to sell its program content for a few corporate shekels. The bigger head scratcher was the guest judges' table, where three D.C. TC alumni were asked to puzzle over dishes, including Spike Mendelsohn, Mike Isabella, and Bryan Voltaggio. So where was Carla Hall?
Tamesha the lioness: Angelo Sosa has the hots for Tamesha, the sous chef at the Oval Room, whom he mumbled something about her inner lion. Angelo clearly wants to roam her Serengeti. But Tamesha has a strong inner game warden. "There is no way it's gonna happen," she told the camera.
The winner was the best of the losers: Let me see if I have this right. The "winner" of the elimination round was the team of two chefs, Kelly Liken and Andrea Curto-Randazzo, which wasn't good enough to impress the judges in the first two challenges? Their reward for their semi-competency was tickets to Italy and Spain. I wonder how the chefs felt who, you know, actually cooked well enough to earn immunity in the first two rounds? They got a one-way ticket to kitchen pantry to drink beer.
Double your pleasure: The best part of Wednesday's show? That two chefs got the boot. The sooner we wrap this yawner of a season, the better.

I have three little ones, but this is the first pregnancy where I've had anyone old enough to sort of understand what is happening (I've got a 3 year old, 2 year old, and almost 15 month old). I'd love to do some fun things with them and for them during these last few weeks and right after the baby comes. I'm planning on making some hospital goodie bags for each of them so they can have something fun to do and eat during their visits at the hospital. I was also thinking maybe they could pick out a toy for the baby to bring when they come meet baby for the first time.
Are you doing anything fun with your children these last few weeks or anything fun for them when the baby is born? I'd love some more ideas!

Scientists have uncovered huge bones in Argentina that could be from the largest dinosaur ever found.
Outside experts agree that this is a new species of titanosaur, at least as big as the Argentinosaurus, a plant-eating sauropod whose towering legs and long neck and tail currently set the record for length and weight.
Paleontologist Jose Luis Carballiro says the thigh bone is the longest of any vertebrate, at 7.9 feet (2.4 meters) long. He estimates the animal weighed around 176,000 pounds (80,000 kilograms).
Paleobiologist Paul Upchurch of University College London says he saw the bones first-hand, and that it's early to call it the largest dinosaur. But he says it's a new species and promises to be part of the most complete fossil yet of the super-giants.

Before the painted ladies (Cynthia cardui), other less beautiful creatures had already ventured into space. Arabella and Anita, two notorious spiders, learned how to construct normal webs aboard Skylab, a U.S. space station launched into Earth's orbit in 1973. Subjects in other Skylab experiments that followed—some of which can be found in the Smithsonian's collections—included fish, monkeys, ants and bees.
In the wake of the Apollo moon shots, the Skylab program demonstrated the feasibility of spending at least several months in space. Astronauts on Skylab conducted nearly 300 distinct investigations, including 19 student experiments.
When the program was abandoned in the mid-1970s, NASA turned to shuttle flights and experiments in Spacelab research modules (which were eventually replaced by the larger SPACEHAB modules). Meanwhile, the Russian space agency extended flight durations for their cosmonauts, keeping them orbiting for more than a year at a time on the Salyut space stations and then on Mir.
Now that the International Space Station has begun 15 years of continuous habitation, many speculate that microgravity research will not only help humans travel to or even inhabit Mars but will also help them on Earth. Everything from developing advanced atomic lasers and new immunotherapies to growing three-dimensional tissues and even organs in space may eventually be possible.
The multibillion dollar station, which will ultimately weigh in at 470 tons, is expected to foster unprecedented long-term research facilities and collaborations between the participating American, Russian, European, Japanese, Canadian and Brazilian space agencies.
In February of this year, the first of six research modules—this one dubbed Destiny—was attached to the International Space Station, enabling crews to begin full-time research, with as many as 12 racks devoted to ongoing experiments.
Though much microgravity research will continue to be done on or near Earth—in bioreactors, drop towers, and special aircraft and rocket trajectories—these venues provide only short-lived seconds of near zero gravity conditions. The Space Station will increasingly provide opportunities to conduct research in these conditions that spans weeks and months, even years.
Freed from the limits of gravity, many substances behave differently, because subtle forces become unmasked. For instance, diffusion is the natural tendency of materials to spread themselves evenly in a fluid. But on Earth, this effect is tempered by the gravity-induced facts of sedimentation and buoyancy, which separate materials from one another based on their density. In space, scientists can study pure diffusion. Likewise, research in combustion science, molecular biology and fundamental physics—among other fields—can benefit greatly from a nearly gravity-free environment. That basic research, in turn, may lead to more efficient ways of creating and processing materials here on Earth—and in space.
Most of the early experiments will focus on how microgravity conditions might affect crew members on long voyages. Still, much of that research may have implications for the rest of us. It seems that the absence of gravity affects the human body in ways that mimic degenerative diseases prevalent among the elderly, including bone loss, balance problems and weakened immunity. As countermeasures are developed for astronauts, better treatments for osteoporosis and spinal cord injuries here on Earth could also result.
In many areas of microgravity research, says Eugene Trinh, director of the physical sciences division of NASA's Office of Biological and Physical Research, "our scientific understanding is far from complete. A long-term basic research platform in space will help us make the next quantum leaps forward." In the meantime, research will continue aboard the space station and—as with the butterflies—on shuttle missions.

Currently none of it is available to anyone else. I'm considering releasing parts of it but lack the time to do that right now. Which bits are most interesting to you? Security panel integration? X10? Multizone music? Natural Language Interface?
Right now, X10 and the Natural Language Interface. I've been trying to get X10's software to work, and it's been less that impressive. I really like the idea of being able to develop against an SDK too. In the future, I want to add HVAC integration for energy savings.
What kind of light swtiches/dimmers are you using?
If they are Insteon or Z-wave, how are you interfacing them with the server?
I was thinking of making custom switches/dimmers with ZigBee and the .NET Micro Framework.
Thanks ahead of time!
I've used a variety of switches over the years. Of the X-10 switches only the Leviton DHC ones have proven to be reliable long term. I have a box full of *Linc and Insteon switches that don't work any more. The few Z-Wave switches I have seem reliable but without open source drivers I haven't used them much.
Wonderful job=) I am going to take a bit of time to think over the job!

Our house collects a lot of data: over 250 sensors under the floors, on the walls, above the doors, … are each being triggered many times a day. All this data and any derived data (like room occupancy) is stored in a MongoDB database that just keeps growing. Last time I checked it was over 150GB. More >

My home automation system has been able to reliably understand which rooms are occupied for many years through a combination of many different sensors: PIR, strain-gauges under the floor, IR remote control sensing, door contacts, PBX extension usage, light switches, … and some limited reasoning. But it doesn't know WHO is in a given room. I have More >

Originally my home automation system was constructed as a tree: The house contains Floors, Floors contain Rooms, Rooms contain lights and sensors. That worked quite well for a number of years but there was always the issue of doors. Which room is a door in? An easy answer was to put it in both rooms, More >
This week I decided to add some visualizations of the ever growing database of sensor data my house is accumulating.

Recently I've spent a lot of time thinking about the future of home automation.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
"An Actaea nearly akin to A. flosculata, but with the following differences from that species:
Only the spines on the back have the characteristic petaloid shape. Those at the sides and on the limbs are sharp thorns. The posterolateral edge of the back is not marked by a row of small beads, as in A. flosculata and in A. perspinosa. The hinder edge has a thickened rim, which is wanting in the above-mentioned two species, and the whole arrangement of the tubercles on the field behind the post-gastric furrow is different, as will be seen by comparing the figures. The peculiar tubercles on the outside of the hand of A. fosculata are replaced in A. spinosissima by sharp thorns, and the teeth on the apposed edges of the fingers are less stout. Color in spirit: pure white. Dredged in Mahlos Atoll, in 23 fathoms."
(L.A. Borrodaile, 1902, pg. 256-257)

Inverse Triple DES
- From: Jeronimo Bertran <jeronimo.bertran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:39:01 -0800
A smart card operating system that we are using uses somenthing called
Inverse Triple DES (3DES-1) which is basically a decryption of an 8 byte
value using a 16 byte key. However this 8 byte value is not the result of
an encryption but any 8 byte value. Older triple DES libraries that we
have used in the past are able to produce a result with any 8 byte value
supplied. However, the TripleDESCrypotServiceProvider throws a "Bad Data"
exception if the 8 byte cypher data is not a value that was previously
Here is the implementation of Decrypt:
public static byte[] Decrypt(byte[] cypherData, byte[] tdesKey, byte[]
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider tdes = new
tdes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
ICryptoTransform transform = tdes.CreateDecryptor(tdesKey, tdesIV);
return transform.TransformFinalBlock(cypherData, 0, cypherData.Length);
Is there any way to get a result for any value supplied as cypherData?

How Hedge Funds Play GM
(GM - Get Report), whose fortunes have long been tied to the American working class, is a playground for the rich when it comes to its stock. Despite its populist renown, GM has long been controlled by institutional investors. That's never been truer than now, as hedge funds specializing in distressed securities and so-called event-driven situations pile in with an increasingly complex palette of exotic wagers that embrace its common stock, convertible securities and bonds. While GM still boasts a high number of individual investors, they operate in a wonderland of esoteric gambles that could end up deciding the automaker's fate.There is a lot to gamble on: Questions about whether GM can avoid bankruptcy, sell GMAC, and manage to avert a strike are all behind some kind of hedge fund trade. Much of the trading involves GM's voluminous publicly traded debt, a breed of securities that is effectively out of reach to the average individual investor. In many cases, however, these trades are either hedged or coupled with positions in the common -- and unwary investors can easily find themselves being pulled around by the tail when one of them moves. A lot of short-selling is in place, hedge fund managers note. About 15% of the company's float represents short interest, or bets that the stock will fall -- a pretty high figure. The short-interest ratio, as measured by the amount of short sales divided by the daily volume of shares, is only 5.51%, but this relatively low figure attests to the stock's high volume more than low short selling, says a hedge fund manager. He compares those numbers with another large-cap name, Pepsico (PEP ), which has 1.7 billion of outstanding shares, 5.6 million of short shares and a daily volume of 4 million shares. The percentage of shorts is only 0.3% in the case of Pepsico and the short-interest ratio is 1.5%.General Motors

Where to Hide When Bank Stocks Bomb
(JPM - Get Report) is showing itself to be an earnings powerhouse, despite the company's second-quarter hiccup, when it booked $4.4 billion in trading losses from the hedging activity of its Chief Investment Office. The company still earned $5 billion, or $1.21 a share, during the second quarter, and then reported third-quarter earnings of $5.7 billion, or $1.40 a share, for a solid return assets of 1.74%, and a return on tangible common equity of 16%. Investors will be looking for a major return of capital from JPMorgan after the next round of Federal Reserve stress tests are completed late in the first quarter of 2013. The company suspended its $15 stock repurchase program in May, after CEO James Dimon first announced the CIO losses. JPMorgan Investors may also be treated to another dividend increase after the stress tests. The shares were up 27% year-to-date through Friday's close at $41.16. Based on the current quarterly payout of 30 cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 2.92%.JPMorgan's shares trade for 1.2 times tangible book value, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, and for eight times the consensus 2012 earnings estimate of $5.31, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, which are rather low valuations for this type of earnings performer. AIG may be taking some serious lumps from Hurricane Sandy, as the company has a significant property & casualty market share in the Northeast. Unlike most of its major P&C competitors in the region, AIG reported an underwriting loss of $397 million during the first half of 2012, although the loss narrowed from $1.962 billion, during the first half of 2011. AIG has made a ton of progress in repaying the federal government after the company was bailed out in 2008 and 2009. The company's shares were up 50% year-to-date, through Friday's close at $34.72, and traded for 10 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $3.50. For defensive-minded investors, Korzenik likes real estate investment trusts that focus on multifamily buildings. "We usually approach REITs through ETS," he says," adding that "what we saw in the summer rally was that a lot of money moved into more aggressive names, and some of the steady-as-you-go names, including the REITs, just fell by the wayside. Now we think there's a period where there's renewed interest." Two of Korzenik's favorite REIT plays are American Campus Communities (ACC) and Essex Property (ESS).JPMorgan Chase

Developing the Developed World
Entrepreneurship, Liberty, and the Future
Recorded: Tuesday, January 27, 2015
In his #1 New York Times bestselling book, Zero to One, Peter Thiel presents his often contrarian ideas about competition, progress, technology, and finding value in unexpected placesto build a future that we have yet to dream, but that may someday become reality. In Developing the Developed World he brings these ideas to life, including his insights on how to create true innovations in the world of atomsnot just digits and bitsand how to foster a peaceful, prosperous and freer future marked by globalization in a world of limited resources.
Peter Thiel is Founder and Managing Member of Clarium Capital Management, LLC; Co-Founder of Paypal, Palantir Technologies, Mithril Capital Management, and Valar Ventures; Managing Partner of Founders Fund; and past President of Thiel Capital International and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Confinity, Inc. He has been a Research Fellow at the Independent Institute, and he is the author of the books:
The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and Political Intolerance on Campus (with David O. Sacks)
He co-founded PayPal in 1998, led it as CEO, and in 2002 sold it to eBay and founded Clarium Capital Management, a global macro fund. In 2004 he made the first outside investment in Facebook, where he serves as a director. The same year he co-founded Palantir Technologies, a software company that harnesses computers to empower human analysts in fields like security and global finance. He has provided early funding for LinkedIn, Yelp, RoboteX, Spotify, and dozens of successful technology startups. He is a co-founder and partner at Founders Fund, a venture capital firm that has funded companies like SpaceX and Airbnb. And in 2012 he co-founded Mithril Capital Management, an international technology investment fund.
Mr. Thiel started the Thiel Fellowship, which ignited a national debate by encouraging young people to put learning before schooling, and he leads the Thiel Foundation, which works to advance technological progress and long-term thinking about the future. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University, where he received an A.B. in philosophy and a J.D. from the Stanford University School of Law.

John Stossel | Confessions of a Media Maverick
Recorded: Friday, January 30, 2004
When pioneering television journalist John Stossel joined ABC-TV's "20/20" in 1981, his peers and an admiring public hailed him as a crusading consumer reporter. His hard-hitting, in-your-face exposes of con artists and corporate liars and crooks won him 19 Emmys and an avid following. But, could the use of government power and the Nanny State be the biggest scam of all?
In his new book, Give Me a Break, Stossel takes on a herd of sacred cows and examines how in the name of the "public interest," ambitious politicians and bureaucrats, intellectually lazy and opportunistic reporters, scaremongers, and predatory lawyers make life worse, especially for those most disadvantaged.
In this event John Stossel explained how his investigations of government waste, fraud and abuse; welfare for the rich; victimless crimes; self-serving interest groups; and sensationalist-media hyping (while ignoring real risks) reveal the crucial need to protect the civil and economic liberties of all people.
John Stossel, author of Give Me a Break. is co-anchor of ABC's "20/20." He also hosts ABC's "John Stossel Specials" for ABC television and radio, and ABCNews.com. In addition to having received 19 Emmy Awards, he has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Among his other awards are the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.
David J. Theroux is Founder and President of the Independent Institute.

Updated 26/12/2012 @ 10:35
This is the first in a series of images taken inside the moth-balled colossus that is Spillers Mill in Newcastle in April 2008. I wish I had more time to explore the facility further but my entry was closely regulated; I was working as assistant for another photographer for the day and he was only allowed in as he knew one of the security detail.
The name is referring to the position of the sunlight on the floor and how it could be used to measure time. It's the first concept that came to mind upon submission of this piece; the image itself is part of a larger series that explored abandoned industry, entitled Forlætan.
Edited for crop, and re-submitted as a place-holder before the rest of the series is uploaded.
...This is a wonderful picture.
Thank-you kindly, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. It was a surreal location, I only wish I had more time in there to capture more images.
Sometimes, all you need is one capture. One instant. Don't feel bad for the time you didn't have. Feel nice for those moments you lived within that surreal location.
Oh, I do; it was a marvellous place to explore. The place had been mothballed about a decade previously so there were coffee cups and newspapers from the time on tables in the break room, antiquated control systems in the main hub, moth-eaten sacks piled up in storage areas. Truly bizarre, and otherworldly, and timeless.
Exquisite atmosphere crafted with such mesmerising tone and light that truly emphasises the isolation, lonely and abandonment of the building.
Looks like a lovely location. I like the light in this shot!
Yes, it was a great place. It's a shame I wasn't able to explore the whole building; there were entire floors of control rooms and computer stations and huge levels of piping and grain silos. It's unfortunate, too, that the place is now just flat wasteland!
The lighting is incredible!
Well played with light and shadows. Love the tones as well!
Thank-you kindly!
I'm not sure why it's taken me so many years to get around to processing the rest of the images from this series.
No worries.
Oh, I can relate to this question. There are numerous raw images slumbering somewhere on my hard disk, every now and then I browse through the older folders of my archive and use to find some hidden gems there. Sometimes even images that I tried to edit before, without a decent result, but suddenly they work for me. It's a sort of productive procrastination.

Hah, yes indeed; some of my best work I originally rejected upon first evaluation. It's strange how that works out.
love the simplicity of this shot, really nice
Awesome shot, I really love the composition. This is amazing.
What I can see: Two windows (two persons), Light. Hope.
beautiful light and composition.
It's a delightful shot - just wonderful.
I really like this shot, simple but a really beautiful scene. It's cosy? I dunno, but it feels really homely, despite the almost-empty feel... and... yeah, a good capture. Makes me want to be a photographer, haha.
It's the lighting on the floor that draws me to this as it does.
Yeah, I rather wish I had gotten more free time to take more shots as it's a fascinating place.
The light is amazing - the way you captured it, it just fills the room, even though it's obviously, painfully empty.
Beautiful (:
Beautiful (:
Yeah, it's an interesting place to look around. It's all left as it was when the workers walked out ten years ago; there are old newspapers on tables in the cafeteria an 'everything. I'm glad you like it, anyway.
That's a little creepy, not gonna lie. Abandoned places don't sit well with me, especially when there are literal remainders of those who came before.
Can't wait to see more (:
Can't wait to see more (:
It has something of a post-apocalyptic feel so I can understand that. There are other shots but whether they make it online or not is anyone's guess. Hah. I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to even consider them.
I do have to admit that abandoned places give me varying degrees of screaming heebie-jeebies anyway, haha.
I hope they do, for the record (:
I hope they do, for the record (:
One word: finally.
Heh; still work that's over a year old though.
Was it warm that day, the photograph makes me feel warm but unnerved.
It was indeed warm, considering the time of year. The sun was beating down outside but inside it was ice-cold as barely any light or warmth got through the thick walls. Thank-you for the comment.

Hi guys,
LO has a pretty nasty rash under her chin and on her neck and chest. I've been doing my best to keep it clean and dry, but I feel like even with bibs, it's tough to keep it dry. So I called the dr today and they suggested trying cornstarch and if that didn't work to try Lotrimin cream (athlete's foot cream). They think it's a yeast rash. Have any of you dealt with this? If so, what have you done to help it go away? Has anyone tried Lotrimin?

I'm looking to write a quick benchmark program that can be compiled and run on various machines. Rather than using commercially/open-sourceally available options, I'd rather have my own to play around with threading and algorithm optimization techniques.
I have a couple that I use already, which include recursively calculating the nth number of the Fibonacci sequence, and of seeding/rand()ing a few thousand times.
Are there any other algorithms that are relatively simple, but at the same time computationally-intensive (and possibly math-related)?
(Note that these operations will be implemented in the C language.)

Reviews for Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller - Game of the Year Edition
Dark graphic novel feelShaide | Feb. 21, 2015 | See all Shaide's reviews »
This isn't the BEST point and click adventure, nor is it the best episodic point and click adventure....Heck, it's not even the best Point and Click adventure from Jane Jensen, but it's still a fun and enjoyable experience. In fact, I would suggest ALL point and Click fans pick this up. It has a similar dark Graphic Novel feel like Jensen's spectacular Gabriel Knight game, except this features a strong female lead character...who..um...has to have a man use a shovel to dig a whole, because she's so frazzled that she can't focus on the incredibly difficult task of using a shovel on loose dirt to dig..what looks to be half a foot...in the rain. Erica Reed is an FBI agent that has the power to see into the past! Which admittedly sounds a lot less amazing than it is! She's chasing a serial killer and that's all I can say without tossing out spoilers. I didn't encounter any game breaking bugs...A few lip sync fails, some poor modelling(in fact early on in episode 1 where Erica looks less like a human, and more like a frog human hybrid)
Excellent adventure with mediocre graphicsmichalmichal | Feb. 12, 2014 | See all michalmichal's reviews »
Short version of this review could say: Cognition is excellent, get it if you like adventure games. But to explain it a bit better, let me say that the game is the kind of adventure games which made the genre so popular. Great story, which could easily be used for a TV series like CSI or a movie, reasonable and well designed puzzles, and enough content to put many other games to shame. It's not that the game (four episodes) is like for example Telltale games with their short 2-3 hours long episodes. Every episode can keep you busy for like 5-6 hours, so the whole game will offer 20-25 hours of great fun. I could only wish the graphics was better. It looks very indie and quite unprofessional. But don't let it distract you and discourage from playing this excellent game.

Arena Grand Prix – Santa Clara editorial coverage is proudly sponsored by Arena USA. Visit ArenaUSA.com for more information on our sponsor. For all the latest coverage, check out our event coverage page. Also, take a look at some amazing photography in our Facebook photo gallery.
SANTA CLARA, California, June 22. INITIALLY, it looked like Stanford's Bobby Bollier would run away with the men's 200-meter fly title, but Gators' Sebastien Rousseau had just enough to get his hand on the wall first at the Arena Grand Prix in Santa Clara.
Rousseau had just a bit better of a finish than Bollier to capture the title in 1:58.50 with Bollier finishing second in 1:58.65. NBAC's Chase Kalisz, who is taking on a tough triple tonight with the fly, backstroke and IM, took third in 1:59.76. Aquazot's Corey Okubo also broke 2:00 with a fourth-place 1:59.94.
NCAC's Ben Colley (2:00.38), John Martens (2:00.41), Bulldogs' Pace Clark (2:02.43), Stanford's Tom Kremer (2:03.26) and California's Dane Stassi (2:03.76) put up the rest of the times in the championship heat.
Indiana's Steve Schmuhl clipped Longhorn's Clark Smith, 2:01.49 to 2:01.78, for the B final win. California's Adam Hinshaw finished third in 2:03.02.
NBAC's Cole Buese (2:03.34), Dynamo's Mick Litherland (2:03.44), NCAC's Matt Conway (2:03.84), Club Wolverine's Dylan Bosch (2:04.23), Terrapin's Justin Lynch (2:04.42) and Dan Wallace (2:05.16) rounded out the consolation heat.

Last week, when The Harmon Taproom owner Pat Nagle decided to cancel his Tacoma bar's Tuesday-night "goldfish races," it was because PETA activists had gotten wind of the event, decided it was cruel to the fish, and besieged Nagle's business with threatening calls and e-mails.
Well, Nagle may have just come to the realization that PETA activists aren't the kind of folks who drink at his bar anyway.
Because he's thought better of his fish flop and is bringing back the races.
Nagle tells Seattle Weekly that after he cancelled the event, he received an "outpouring of support" from people who loved the races and wanted them back.
"By popular demand we just decided we would being 'em back," he says. "We made up some new rules to make sure all the little fishies aren't ever mistreated, and we're going to go back to having some fun."
For those who missed the original hubbub, goldfish races are made possible by putting the little 5-cent feeder fish into long canals, then either blowing air through a straw behind them or squirting them with squirt guns to goad them down the troughs.
Like so.
PETA thinks this is cruelty of the highest order because of rumors that one of the fish may have fallen onto the floor and some drunk asshole may have swallowed one. But even beyond that, PETA doesn't like the races on the principle that it's a race involving animals.
Here's part of the group's statement, released shortly after the goldfish controversy surfaced.
Fish are complex beings who have personalities, communicate with each other, form bonds, and even grieve when family members and companions die. Being handled and subjected to loud noises and bright lights is a terrifying ordeal for such tiny, defenseless animals who have no opportunity to escape and who are viewed by the bar managers as expendable commodities.
Anyway, Nagle says that while they are bringing back the races, there will be some new rules involved.
"The fish will only be allowed to be handled by our handler, and we won't be using the squirt guns anymore. People will be allowed to use straws to blow air to scoot them down the tracks," he says without the slightest bit of sarcasm. "Basically, we're just saying 'hey, we weren't really doing anything wrong in the first place, but we're gonna change things and make sure all the fish are taken care of.' I can sleep peacefully knowing that no little fishies are being treated badly."
Something tells us that PETA isn't going to share Nagle's enthusiasm for new-and-improved drunken-bubble fish sprints.

Legislators brag about all the money allocated for Las Vegas, N.M., every legislative session. The highest paid educational and behavioral health positions in our humble little city all take their money right back to Santa Fe, N.M., where they reside.
We, the West Las Vegas High School Class of 1960, thank the individuals who contributed to make our 50th-year reunion during the July 4 Fiestas such a success.
We thank the Bank of Las Vegas, which sponsored our reunion float in the parade and donated flag fans to cool off the spectators in the parade route.
Our thanks to Albert Goke, who provided the float frame and construction. Phil Leger loaned the group his flatbed trailer.
Thanks to Judy Ramirez who fabricated a quilt with inlaid pictures of Class of 1960 members.
The Las Vegas City Council recently gave a new two-year contract to the community's ambulance provider, Superior Ambulance.
But the city, by its own admission, hasn't closely monitored the company's performance for such details as response times. One of the reasons, Fire Chief Phil Mares said, was that Superior apparently had problems getting data from the city's police dispatchers.
"May I see your hands, please?" Good grief! Is she coming on to me? I thought.
Instead, she rubbed what looked like a small, damp orange Wet One across my palms. "Now turn around."
I did so, my anxiety increasing. "I meant 'turn your hands around.'" I did that too. So the backs and the palms got swabbed, but what for? We'll get into that later.
No university has to name its buildings after people, but it's been a long tradition to do so.
Indeed, students and others often know the names of buildings, but they rarely know about the people they're named after. So the names have very little impact.
I have waged a ceaseless campaign urging the community to participate in animal rescue, health, and safety and am pleased to report, I have seen the volunteers and the dollars come trickling in.
I would like to extend an enormous thank you to the community of Las Vegas and the Rough Rider Motorcycle Rally for showing they care about the lives of dogs and cats.
It's been a long two years, starting with some terrible assaults in a football camp outside of town and culminating, last week, in the sentencing of the leader of the assaults. The disposition of Michael Gallegos' case, the last of six to have run their course through the judicial system, brings an element of closure. But not completely — parents of the victims have filed suit against current and former school officials, which means court cases and press coverage will continue.
With the news of assaults suspect Michael Gallegos' sentencing last week, I couldn't help but think about his father, Michael Gallegos Sr., who served on the Las Vegas City Council for a decade.
The older man was seen by many as the council's tough guy, along with sidekick Eugene Romero.
During his terms in office, city employees told me that Gallegos accused them of mad-dogging him. Apparently, Gallegos went to the city manager at the time with the complaint, but the manager declined to take any disciplinary action based on an alleged dirty look.

SEC suspends Bruce Pearl 8 games

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl has been suspended for the Tennessee Volunteers' first eight Southeastern Conference games as punishment from league Commissioner Mike Slive for violating NCAA rules and misleading investigators.
"I have been a very public advocate for playing by the rules," Pearl said Friday. "When you don't play by the rules, these are the things that can happen. So while these penalties that we've self-imposed and now the commissioner's imposing are unprecedentedly ...

Steam Colonist Air Pendant by KeypersCoveWatch
©2012-2016 KeypersCove
Another pendant design Many people seem to consider a lot of our work "steampunk" just because we use gears. Generally, we like to think there is more to the genre then just adding gears to something, so this was an attempt at a design that might fit better into that category, with a victorian look.
Let us know what you think

FAQ on how we make them on our front page!
Here's a clearer picture of the pendant, we know the background on this got a little crazy with Da vinci's astro background (photo was taken on a purchased book)

That Da Vinci astro background looks amazing lol.

Ah, adding gears to stuff to make things steampunk. The stories I could tell you... :33
Thet're all so lovely~
dazzeling ♥
Fantastic peice & back round well put
i wish i could make such some day
very cool!!!
Love the blue/gold. The top of the piece is particularly interesting!
This looks amazing! I love it! So beautiful~
Steampunk often condones a victorian look, while at the same time implements gears. Call it what you must, but what you're trying to go for, simply looks like the genre or a sub-genre of steampunk.
Also, it's a beautiful piece.
Also, it's a beautiful piece.
so beautiful.
Cool! Would go with my new boots XD
this is so pretty!
I love this. It's so pretty. Where did you get the inspiration for this?
Beautiful background and beautiful pendant! Love it
Very nice. I have heard that steampunk is more like science fiction set in the Victorian era when oil and steam were still big power sources.
this is just GORGEOUS. i want it! ♥
PLEASE make tessa gray's clockwork angel pendant. Its the prettiest thing and not enough people are making them. Its from a best selling book Clockwork Angel, where the angel is made of clockwork with shut eyes holding a sword. Just a suggestion
i love steampunk, it's become an obsession of mine
holy cow!
Hot damn I want that one
Oh my gosh, this piece is gorgeous! Absolutely magical!
OMG, it may be the best one yet!
oh my, this is so lovely.! <33333
Is fantastic *----*
Whoa. It looks magical-ish with that background.

Gell Guards by Harnois75Watch
©2009-2016 Harnois75
A slight redesign of the Gell Guards from the 10th anniversary 1973 Dr Who story The Three Doctors, which brought togeher the first three actors to play the role of the mysterious time travelling Doctor - William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee.
you have any anti-mater monsters from "Planet Of Evil"?
Cutest antimatter creatures ever!
I actually remember seeing this somewhere about a year ago, and thinking that it looked great. Now I can favorite it.
I don't know why some fans think the Gell Guards look stupid- I think they look great. They remind me of Lovecraft's Shoggoths.
Another fantastic job! Loving these Doctor Who landscapes!

What Roy Williams needed was a comeback for the ages. What he got was a disappointing dose of payback -- a chance to see what it feels like when Kansas breaks his heart.
The Jayhawks left their old coach in the dust Saturday night, getting 25 points and seven rebounds from Brandon Rush to stave off a ferocious comeback by North Carolina for an 84-66 victory in the national semifinals.
Kansas moved within a win of its first national championship since 1988, the year before Williams began his storied 15-year tenure in Lawrence -- one that ended when he jilted Kansas for his alma mater.
The Jayhawks will play Memphis, an earlier 78-63 winner over UCLA, in the title game Monday.
