The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Right Here, Right Now exhibit celebrates today's most popular music artists. Right Here, Right Now takes a look at the evolution of rock and roll and its impact on the next generation of artists by taking visitors on an intimate journey into the stories of chart-topping acts as told through their personal items and clothing from iconic performances. The exhibit features thought-provoking text panels and interactive displays where visitors can see and hear how these contemporary artists have made an impact during the new millennium.
We made a trip to the 2014 Bunbury Music Festival in Cincinnati to talk with Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz about having artifacts from the Young Blood Chronicles video series on display, their influences, the Alternative Press Awards and what's next for the Chicago band.
On filming the Young Blood Chronicles:
Pete Wentz- "Putting together the whole Young Blood Chronicles was pretty insane. The way that it sounds like a good idea to do, or simple idea to do, like an 11 video narrative story; but it was much more complex than we thought, and took about nine months ...
"Bye Bye Love" galvanized not one but three creative teams. Don and Phil Everly were floundering prior to this first hit single. "Bye Bye Love" was also the biggest hit to date for husband-and- wife songwriters Boudleaux and Felice Bryant. Last but not least, the pairing of the Bryants with the Everlys yielded a string of rock and roll pearls. The record's enormous success-Top Five on Billboard's country, pop, and R&B charts-followed a series of hurdles. Cadence, the Everlys' label, had rejected them once before but was giving the brothers a second chance. The Bryants' tune had been rejected by numerous artists before the Everlys got hold of it. Perhaps Don Everly's own guitar introduction made a difference; the brothers' close vocal harmonies were certainly new to a non-country audience. Not even a cover version by Webb Pierce-at that time the kiss of death for a country song's original recording-could slow the Everlys' million sales, as "Bye Bye Love" leapt across musical borderlines. The brothers went from tent shows to The Ed Sullivan Show; the era's top vocal duo was off and running.
The Everlys' third hit was their first ballad single. If their ...

I'm excited to be opening my photo show, Girls on Film: 40 Years of Women in Rock, at the Rock Hall on February 14. Going over my negatives, and picking and printing the images, gave me the chance to reflect on my own trajectory as a photographer and a music fan. I've also been mulling over why, after a couple of years of thinking about such a show and vice president of exhibitions and curatorial affairs Jim Henke saying "Anytime you're ready, let's talk," this particular theme and selection of work is important to me.
The earliest image in the show was taken at a free daytime concert in Grant Park in Chicago (where I grew up) in 1969. I was new to both photography and rock music. I borrowed a camera from my father — he was a serious amateur photographer whose taste in subjects ran to scenery and flowers — and brought it with me to take pictures of Jefferson Airplane, the band that had recently sparked my interest in rock and roll, largely due to its distinctive singer, Grace Slick, who was neither the ethereal Joni Mitchell-style folk girl or the bad-ass blues mama ...

As we were preparing last week's special Rock and Roll Night School on rock and roll holiday records, I was amazed at how many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees had recorded a holiday record. So, being the obsessives that we are, the Education Department staff tried to figure out just how many there are. Here's our preliminary stats. Note: for the purposes of discussion, we focused on inductees from the Performer and Early Influence category; we counted a band or a duo as one inductee (e.g., The Rolling Stones =1; Bob Dylan =1, etc.); and we included our newest group of inductees (ABBA, The Stooges, The Hollies, Jimmy Cliff, and Genesis). Here's what we found:
143 out of 255 Inductees have recorded a holiday record: 72%!
Given how many crazy one-off records are out there, I'm sure that we missed a few. I've listed our working list below. Please let us know if we missed any! We'd love hear from you.
Inductees who HAVE NOT recorded holiday songs/albums
Early Influences
1. Charlie Christian
2. Willie Dixon
3. Billie Holiday
4. Howlin' Wolf
5. Elmore James
6. Robert Johnson

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

D'Alessandro Breaks 400 IM Record, Helps Princeton To Strong Lead At Big Al
DAY 2 RESULTS l LIVE RESULTS l LIVE VIDEO l WEEKEND SCHEDULE
Two nights, two records. Safe to say, it's been a good weekend for Teo D'Alessandro.
One night after breaking his own Princeton record in the 200 IM, the Princeton sophomore set a team record in the 400 IM and helped the Tigers to a comfortable lead after two days of the 2013 Big Al Open. Princeton has 895 points, while second-place Dartmouth has 659 points.
There are seven events remaining; Sunday prelims will begin at 10 am, while finals start at 5 pm.
The 200 medley relay quartet of Michael Strand, Jack Pohlmann, Harrison Wagner and Connor Maher opened the night session with a victory in 1:27.06. Princeton had two teams in the top three, as the quartet of Andrew Helber, Marco Bove, Brooks Powell and Jeremy Wong placed third in 1:30.24.
D'Alessandro set his second school record in as many nights by winning the 400 IM in 3:47.22, edging the record time of 3:47.86 set by Colin Hanna in 2009. Senior Daniel Hasler (3:55.59) and freshman Sam Smiddy (3:57.46) made it a 1-2-3 finish for Princeton in the event.
Junior Harrison Wagner was Princeton's lone championship qualifier in the 100 fly, taking seventh in 49.57. Junior Michael Strand added a win in the 'B' final in 47.63.
Senior Mark O'Connell won the 3-meter final in his last Big Al Open, taking the win with 359.15 points. Freshman Nathan Makarewicz took fourth with 308.30 points, while junior Michael Manhard finished fifth with 284.55 points.
Sandy Bole and Conner Jager went 1-2 in the 200 free, with Bole taking the win in 1:37.92. Jager placed second in 1:39.76. Pohlmann and Hasler followed with a 2-3 finish in the 100 breast; Pohlmann went 54.82, while Hasler followed in 56.24.
Sophomore En-Wei Hu-Van Wright (47.99) and Maher (48.48) followed with another 2-3 finish in the 100 back, but Princeton bounced back with a 1-2 finish in the 800 free relay. D'Alessandro, Wong, Maher and Bole took the win in 6:29.67, while Hu-Van Wright, Bove, Jeffrey Williamson and Julian Mackrel followed in 6:40.72.

Deputies: Son dies after crashing his motorcycle into his father's Harley in Oak Hill
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 11:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 10:10 p.m.
A 26-year-old Edgewater motorcyclist died Monday morning in Oak Hill after his motorcycle collided with one driven by his father, sheriff's officials said.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office is investigating the 12:38 a.m. wreck on Indian Harbor Avenue that killed Michael Francis.
Michael Francis was riding behind his father, James Francis, 49, heading south on Indian Harbor, when his motorcycle struck his father's from behind. Both riders lost control and crashed, but the father was not injured, sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said.
Neither rider was wearing a helmet. Deputies also took a blood sample from James Francis, an incident report shows.
The Sheriff's Office is investigating to determine the cause of the crash.

ZF-10035: S3_Stream implementation broken
fread from a s3 stream always downloads the whole file. This is due to outdated API implementation. Check here for the latest:
Here is the new stream_read function which resolve the 1) wrong range header and 2) wrong check for 200 http code:
{{ public function stream_read($count) { if (!$this->_objectName) { return false; }
$range_start = $this->_position;
$range_end = $this->_position+$count;
// Only fetch more data from S3 if we haven't fetched any data yet (postion=0)
// OR, the range end position is greater than the size of the current object
// buffer AND if the range end position is less than or equal to the object's
// size returned by S3
if (($this->_position == 0) || (($range_end > strlen($this->_objectBuffer)) && ($range_end <= $this->_objectSize))) {
$headers = "Range:bytes=$range_start-$range_end";
$response = $this->_s3->_makeRequest('GET', $this->_objectName, null, $headers);
$status = (string)$response->getStatus();
if (strpos($status, "20") === 0) {
$this->_objectBuffer .= $response->getBody();
$data = substr($this->_objectBuffer, $this->_position, $count);
$this->_position += strlen($data);
return $data;
Due to http://bugs.php.net/21641 stream_read() always gets 8292 bytes as count, so although on client side (fread) everything works fine, actual stream read step is fixed. But within this step, partial data is requested and returned by Amazon as expected.

ZF-2894: Can't set hidden property on calendar events
When trying to set the hidden property of a calendar event
$event = $this->_gdata->newEventEntry();
$event->title = $this->_gdata->newTitle($title);
$event->where = array($this->_gdata->newWhere($address));
$event->timezone = $this->_gdata->newTimezone($timezone);
$event->visibility = $this->_gdata->newVisibility(true);
$event->hidden = $this->_gdata->newHidden(false);
$cal = $this->_gdata->insertEvent($event, 'http://google.com/calendar/feeds/…');
I get a "Property _hidden does not exist" error message because there is no _hidden property defined in Zend_Gdata_Calendar_EventEntry or Zend_Gdata_Kind_EventEntry. Can we add the following to either one of those classes?
protected $_hidden = null;
Is this still an issue? Is there a suggested fix?
Wow, I don't even remember submitting this issue, especially considering I haven't played around with Zend_Gdata yet. I'm not sure if it's still an issue or not. I'd think this would have been caught awhile ago if it was still an issue though.
This is not implemented in Zend_Gdata. However, as far as I understand Google Calendar API, the Hidden attribute does not have anything to do with the calendar +events+. There is only gCal:hidden element, which indicates whether a +calendar+ is visible or not. This is more like a documentation issue, where ZF's Reference Guide is misleadingly telling that Hidden (which is not even provided) removes the +event+ from the Google Calendar UI.
To implement a delete feature for calendar events, Zend_Gdata_Kind_EventEntry should have $_deleted property which maps to gd:Deleted.
This was resolved in ZF-11101
I guess this was left open if someone would like to implement that $_delete property ...
bq. To implement a delete feature for calendar events, Zend_Gdata_Kind_EventEntry should have $_deleted property which maps to gd:Deleted.
According to the docs for EventKind (http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/…) it doesn't explicitly have gd:Deleted. Do you know if it actually does (ie: inherited from parent namespace or something?)
Ah, that's true. But it is used by the kinds. http://code.google.com/intl/fi-FI/…

ZF-6060: Zend_Locale_Format::toInteger() fails to work properly with negative input or sufficiently small decimals
Negative numbers are not treated properly by toInteger(). For example, try to format -4.99 to an integer. toInteger returns -3, not -5. However, pass in 4.99, and toInteger does return 5. Looks like an off-by-one error in there somewhere, but I wasn't able to find it by looking for a little while.
Would just like to point out that integers (mathematically speaking) include all natural numbers, zero, and their negative counterparts.
Looks for me like a duplication of ZF-3473 and ZF-5908 which are already fixed for the next minor release as it's a BC in the results.
If you need a quick fix, simply use Zend_Locale and it's subdirectory from trunk which is the next 1.8 release.
I'll give that a try. Sorry for the duplicate.
I went and grabbed the latest version of the Locale directory from the subversion repository. Unfortunately this bug hasn't been fixed in the latest version. Please confirm, in case I've done something wrong. For example, the version of Format.php I'm using is marked version "14261 2009-03-10 11:42:06Z thomas". toInteger(-4.999) still reports -3.
I'd like to amend this bug; there exists another case where toInteger fails. Try passing into toInteger a very small value, something like 4.26671590503E-6. It returns 4!
Please add a new issue for the second one. It is very bad practice to have multiple issues within one issue.
A number which is a plain number is a difference than a number with a scientific notation.
And please add an example for reproduction to each issue so that also others, not related to the internals, can see where the problem is.
Fixed with r15585

Panama City - Traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder are becoming the signature injuries of the Iraq and Afhgan wars. With symptoms like depression, irritability, hyper-vigilance, short-term memory loss, and difficulty sleeping, some affected vets have trouble doing the simplest things. But now some vets are finding help in an unusual way. A treatment developed to cure the Bends in divers is now being used to heal the brain and cure vets suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder that resulted from traumatic brain injury.
When Sgt. Joshua Cope's humvee was hit by an IED in Iraq in 2006, his external injuries were apparent, he lost both legs in the blast and badly injured his right arm. But it was the unseen injury, the damage to his brain, that went virtually untreated. "I was depressed all the time. Not looking toward the future," said Cope.
The same was true for Brian Schiefer who, after three deployments, was injured when his humvee flipped during a training exercise in Ft. Irwin, CA. "I was not able to concentrate on anything, even something as simple as sending an e-mail. I was feeling anxious and on edge all the time," said Brian Schiefer, USAF TACP.
"The injury that most of these, actually all of these people, has been shown to be injury to the white matter of the brain where there are many fibers that conduct impulses and there is a sheering action. So therefore the brain is not completely connected with the other parts because the fibers have been sheered," said Dr. Eddie Zant of Hyberbaric Medicine Oxygen Therapy in Fort Walton Beach and Destin.
Schiefer says the VA told him there was no treatment. "They wanted to put me on medications which I was totally against just because I don't take pain medication for anything else," said Schiefer. Dr. Zant treated both men for free at his hyberbaric oxygen therapy facility in Destin with a series of hour-long treatments. "The hyperbaric will actually repair the injuries to the brian, it will stimulate stem cells to the injured areas, increase the blood flow. There are some neurotransmitters that are out of whack from the injury, it will repair those, if the DNA, which is the makeup of the gene is fragmented, it can repair that."
Typically your blood oxygen level is 95. One hundred percent oxygen is pressurized in the chamber, pushing it into the liquid part of the blood. Bringing the blood oxygen level up to 1500 even 2000. The benefit comes over a series of treatments. "After about 40 I started noticing a huge difference. I did another 40 and now honestly I feel like I am almost back to myself before the accident, before I had my TBI issues. I went from being anxious and depressed to having my life back," said Schiefer.
"He's much more mellowed out now, and social, and getting along with everybody and enjoying life," said Erica Cope, Joshua's wife. The couple says they wish they would have known about HBOT years ago. "I've started my own business since the treatments, I'm doing something I enjoy," said Joshua.
But the VA does not currently cover hyberbaric oxygen therapy and at at least $175 per treatment, the treatments are out of reach for so many. "They would rather pump pharmaceuticals into these guys instead of actually curing what is ailing them. It just blows my mind," said Schiefer.
When NewsChannel 7 spoke to the regional office of Veterans Affairs in Biloxi we were told HBOT is not even being considered as treatment for TBI and PTSD. We called the office in Washington D.C. to find out why, but no one has offered a response. We'll keep trying. In the meantime, Joshua Cope and Brian Schiefer are still realizing lasting benefits from the treatments.

When Rainer Scheer's art gallery in Sarasota was failing a few years ago, he realized he had better come up with a "special idea" or pack his bags and move back home to Germany.
That "special idea" was an annual Chillounge Night.
"I wanted to create a night to remember under the stars," says Scheer, 48. "To make it an upscale, outdoor-lounge party night once a year in a city area."
The first Chillounge Night was in Sarasota in 2008. Scheer flew to Indonesia and bought a bunch of South Beach-style lounge furniture to place around Palm Avenue in downtown Sarasota. Live music, a fashion show and parades added to the outdoor ultra-lounge vibe he was trying to accomplish.
The party was such a hit that it has expanded to other Florida cities, including Orlando, where the second event happens Saturday night.
Chillounge Night just celebrated its fourth anniversary in Sarasota. Other Florida stops include Delray Beach, Tampa and St. Petersburg. Fort Lauderdale will have its first event later this year.
"I'm very proud and happy. It's now in six cities and it's kind of successful," says Scheer. "Chillounge Night is the place to be for the hip and the trendy people, with all the movers and shakers for one night out."
He envisions Chillounge expanding to other states.
"It has the potential to be a national thing," says Scheer. "I have people saying all the time you should bring it to Boston, you should bring it to New York."
Scheer says his biggest problem with the night is the weather.
A cold snap postponed last year's inaugural event in Orlando. Five weeks later, Chillounge drew hundreds of people to the northeast section of Lake Eola Park, where it will take place again this year.
Saturday's event will feature live music by AJ and the Automatics and Alex Romano and the East Side Vibe. There also will be a samba parade, a daybed parade and a second fashion show produced by Winter Park resident Roquois.
She stumbled across Chillounge on the Internet. "I did my research and saw it also serves as a fundraiser, and I knew I wanted to be a part of this."
Roquois e-mailed Scheer and was soon brought on board. The 23-year-old fashion coordinator is adding an "off-the-wall" jewelry showcase to this year's affair.
Partial proceeds from Saturday's event benefit the Fatone Family Foundation, a nonprofit that raises money for local charities with a focus on children's organizations.
Scheer says he gets stressed out at times being the one at the helm of making sure the night is a success, but it's his passion that keeps him going.
"I love this event," he says. "This is my baby, Chillounge Night."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Academic success continued to stream Fresno State's way as the athletic department celebrated Tuesday's annual MW Scholar-Athlete announcement by the conference office.
Altogether, 50 Bulldogs received acclaim after maintaining 3.5 cumulative grade point averages and completing at least two academic terms.
The Bulldog soccer and volleyball teams led the way with six and five honorees, respectively.
Twelve other Fresno State teams boasted Scholar-Athlete recipients, and those tallies follow - women's basketball (5), baseball (4), women's cross country, (4), football (4), men's track and field (4), women's tennis (4), softball (3), swimming and diving (3), women's track and field (3), women's golf (2), men's tennis (2) and men's golf (1).
Among those teams, the combined list of Bulldog honorees included 14 seniors, 15 juniors, 18 sophomores and three freshmen.
Last year, the Bulldogs featured 71 recipients in their first season in the Mountain West.
Not included in this season's count were four lacrosse players who were All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Scholar-Athlete honorees and sported +3.5 GPA's - Meghan Macaulay, Jordyn Frew, Marcy Levatino and Meganne Weissenfels.
Overall for the 2013-14 academic year, a total number of 651 student-athletes from 12 MW member institutions were honored - a new league record that bettered the 632 spring semester honorees from the 2012-13 academic year.
In other conference news earlier this week, 86 Bulldogs received Academic All-MW honors among Fresno State's 12 winter and spring sports.
Adding that total to its 43 fall honorees, Fresno State sported 129 combined honors in 2013-14. For comparison's sake, the `Dogs also topped the century plateau in 2012-13 (122), and likewise on Academic All-WAC lists in 2011-12 (142), 2010-11 (132) and 2009-10 (142).
To be eligible for MW All-Academic selection, student-athletes must have completed at least one academic term at the member institution while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better, and be a starter or significant contributor on their athletic team.
Not included in this season's Academic All-MW count were seven lacrosse players who sported +3.0 GPA's.
More information on Mountain West academic honors is available at the www.The MW.com website and @MountainWest Twitter address.

One man's idea grows into 'a nice little place for comedy'
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 8:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 8:18 a.m.
For Nutt Street Comedy Room, humble beginnings might be a bit of an understatement.
What: Kyle Kinane, with Sean Patton
When: 7 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show, June 23
Where: City Stage, 21 N. Front St.
Tickets: $15 advance, $18 day of, $20 VIP
Details: www.NuttStreet.com
Fresh off his Just For Laughs appearances last week in Chicago, Kyle Kinane is bringing some extra laughs to Wilmington this weekend.
Though brought here by Nutt Street Comedy Room, Kinane will perform Sunday at City Stage.
Kinane, a native of Illinois, has been performing for 10 years, and if you haven't heard his name before, it's because you're not listening. The comedian has appeared on "Conan," "Last Call with Carson Daly" and the BBC's "The World Stands Up." Just last year he released his first Comedy Central special, "Whiskey Icarus," a show packed full of shtick on food, race and drinking.
The special is available on DVD and CD, if you're looking to get a taste of Kinane before Sunday.
With Illinois roots, Kinane spent his formative years in the comedy mecca, Chicago. Though he now resides in Los Angeles, he peddles his wares across the country and the world.
The show is just one part of Nutt Street Comedy Room's fourth birthday celebration, which has stretched throughout June, so grab your birthday hat (but please, no birthday suits) before heading to the show Sunday.

Just four years ago this month, the comedy club, in the basement of The Soapbox, was an empty space – until Timmy Sherrill saw an opportunity.
"Comedians just didn't have a place to get on stage, so (Soapbox owner) Brent (Watkins) and I decided to make a go of this place and see if we could turn it into a nice little place for comedy," Sherrill, a comedian of eight years, said.
Sherrill remodeled the room himself, transforming the empty place into a simple comedy room, spending almost no money in the process. To save cash, he outfitted the room with an "eclectic" mix of furniture scavenged from the building, and in about six weeks the doors opened.
Business started slow; It was about a year before Nutt Street started drawing the crowds Sherrill envisioned. Sherrill too, started slow, first booking headliners – which he contacted using the now-deserted MySpace – only once a month. By the end of that year, demand was up. Headlining acts increased to every weekend, and weekly open mic and improv joined the equation.
"Most people wouldn't have wanted to wait that long, which makes sense because it is a business, and if I hadn't been a comic myself and pushed it and pushed it, this wouldn't be here," Sherrill said, gesturing around the empty room on a Friday afternoon.
Though empty that Friday afternoon, the room was packed the evening before for Nutt Street's weekly open mic, where a slew of about 25 comedians takes the stage. Some are Nutt Street veterans, others first-timers, but all are welcome.
"It's a nice experience to see people try and fail and be embraced by an audience that's very knowledgable about comedy," said Anthony Corvino, who has hosted the open mic since December. "Timmy's built a community with the audience that's very aware. It's very different from the audiences I experienced when I did comedy in New York."
Both Corvino and Sherrill credit the audience for Nutt Street's success. Whether it's the folks looking for stand-out stand-up or the slightly smaller but equally devoted crowd attending improv on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the audience plays big into the equation that makes Nutt Street special.
"If it was once in a while that it happened, I wouldn't say it out loud, but it's every week that it happens. Every week in here, there's just an amazing audience and energy, and everything combines to come together," Sherrill said. "I can't even explain what it is, and it's not just because it's mine."
The comics themselves, be they improvisers, local stand-ups or weekend headliners, thrive off the audience's energy. For local comedians in particular, Nutt Street has provided a place to develop – and not only as artists.
"For a lot of the comics, it's become this important thing in their lives where it's bonded people and it's made some great friendships," Corvino said. "The past four years, it's (bound) people who otherwise never would have met. It's cool that people are finding ways to grow not only as artists, but as people, and that's really special."
The magic that is felt, though, is not confined to locals. The national headliners who swing by the club on the weekends sing high praise of the small room.
"Nutt Street is one of the best rooms in the country," said Erin Judge, who performed at the comedy club last month with the Pink Collar Comedy Tour. "It remains one of my favorite places in the whole universe to do stand-up. The crowds are fantastic, and it's not too big or too small. It's perfect."
And though Sherrill credits the success to everyone but himself, he deserves a chunk of the praise as well.
"It starts with the owner, from the top down," Corvino said. "Timmy's message has always been about the energy of the room, and he's created a room that caters to the comics and is very welcoming for the artist to come up and experiment."
It's an energy that Sherrill has worked to cultivate. He is down in the brick-walled room as much as possible, working so that when you show up, you feel at ease.
"When you walk through the door, through the threshold to this place, I don't try to sell you on anything," he said. "I don't even allow comics to sell their stuff on stage, because that's not what this place is about."
The club has changed over the years – the eclectic furniture was replaced with old theater seats donated by Thalian Hall, shows have been added – but even as Nutt Street celebrates its fourth birthday, its relaxed energy calls back to its humble roots.
"I want you to come here, kind of escape for an hour and a half, have a good time, and I don't want you to feel like I'm trying to shove something else down your throat," Sherrill added. "This is the most special place I've ever been in."

i dont understand all these new modes. ive just been playing wanted so far. what else is good?
i dont understand all these new modes. ive just been playing wanted so far. what else is good?
Deathmatch is a free for all mode with no compass and a very small map. No other NPCs look like you unless you use blender or morph.
Simple Deathmatch is just like Deathmatch, but without ability sets.
Corruption is a free for all similar to Manhunt, where you have to hide from people. If you die, you become 'corrupted' and must kill the rest of the people who are still uncorrupted.
Steal the Artifact is pretty much what it sounds like, your main goal is to grab and artifact and keep it as long as possible. This mode has kinda been ruined by runners (you get more points by hiding) but in my opinion it's quite the adrenaline rush trying to hide from 4+ people.
Artifact Assault is pretty much capture the flag... There is a barrier in which if you cross it, you become a kill able target for the other team, but if you hold an artifact you are always kill-able. If both teams tie in the number of artifacts stolen, the team with the most points wins.
Training Ground is a private match where you kill NPCs who don't fight back. It's meant to be some sort of 'practice' mode.
The modes that I like are Wanted, Deathmatch, Simple Desthmatch, Steal the Artifact, Chest Capture and Escort.
alright cool. what are good modes if youre playing with a friend AND can we play together?
also why cant i edit my abilities and when do i get new ones
We can't play today because I'm busy on Wednesdays, but for team modes I prefer Manhunt and Chest Capture.
Everyone gets two default ability sets that cannot be edited, but to get abilities you actually have to buy the with 'Abstergo Credits' that you earn at the end of every match.
I think it was to keep level 1 people from being totally helpless against higher leveled people.
yeah i got that. im level 6 or something now and im still running around with the default sets. why do they never explain this?
rhetorical questionwhy do they never explain this?
I knew what was coming because it was the same way during the beta. Except ground finishes were 100 points x3
my god there are so many retards running around killing people
Yes, it's rather painful to see.
Thanks to ubisoft's marketing, ACR sold to a much bigger audience than ACB, so for many people this is their first AC game and really don't know how to play, nor do many of them to want to learn as I have been Templar Vision'd then shot by the gun by a level 50... It's not that hard people.
Hilariously, I have heard people rage over the mic about how I killed them for 450 points saying that they can only kill for 100 points.

Steamboat Stage Race back for fourth year

New for 2012, the road bike event has been cut from four days to three in an effort to encourage more racers to make the trip to Steamboat for the entire Labor Day weekend. As with past years, race organizers will keep with the tradition of a large $10,000 cash purse, Moots frame giveaway, plenty of prizes from a long list of sponsors and continue the
reputation of putting on a safe and fun event.

New Study Confirms Butadiene Cancer Link, But Creates Loophole A new study that will be released Tuesday by the Health Effects Institute (HEI), the Boston-based non-profit jointly funded by the automobile industry and the Environmental Protection Agency, confirms that 1,3 butadiene, a major air pollutant from automobiles and chemical plants, causes leukemia and other cancers, but only at high exposures. Leukemia mortality among rubber workers in the study was 170 to 270 percent higher than unexposed groups. However, the HEI researcher, Elizabeth Delzell of the University of Alabama, who has also received funding from the International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers and the American Chemistry Council, is about to publish a related study that will claim that the workers who got cancer were the ones who were occasionally exposed to especially high doses of butadiene. A number of industry consultants are co-authors of the paper. If accepted by regulators, this "peak exposure" theory could be interpreted to mean that butadiene is not as dangerous as previously thought. The peak exposure theory is based on sophisticated modeling that assigned exposure values to various jobs held by workers as long as 30 years ago. No measurements were ever taken.
The HEI synopsis of the report, which reflects the views of its peer reviewers, left the door open for accepting the "peak exposure" theory. While the synopsis does say that butadiene exposure estimates in the study "may be too high," and the cancer risks identified in the study "could actually be associated with lower measured concentrations of exposure," it goes on to say that if the forthcoming study from Delzell and the industry consultants "confirms that (exposure) estimates from the current investigation are accurate, this study will provide a firm basis" for assessing risk. That would eliminate the need for chemical plants to engage in further clean ups under the EPA's so-called residual risk rules; it also could affect future automobile emission rules. A residual risk rule now under consideration at the EPA has "do nothing" as one option for chemical plants that produce butadiene and routinely emit small amounts into the atmosphere.
Groups Protest Nomination of Industry Sympathizer to Top OMB Position The Bush-appointed nominee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, an arm of the Office of Management and Budget, has drawn sharp criticism from environmental and health advocacy groups. A report released last week by Public Citizen and OMB Watch said Susan Dudley's "ideological opposition to regulation, support for radical policies that would impair public safeguards and ties to industry" made her unfit to manage the highly influential regulations department, which has the power to weaken, delay, or eliminate public health measures. As past director of regulatory studies at the industry-funded Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Dudley opposed the EPA's attempts to strengthen policies regulating arsenic in drinking water and levels of smog. "Dudley is little more than an industry factotum," said Gary D. Bass, OMB Watch executive director. "Not since OIRA was created in 1980 has there been a less appropriate nominee."
FDA Finally Ousts Advisor Over Conflict of Interest, But Only After A Company Protests The Food and Drug Administration booted a physician from its Anti-Infective Advisory Committee last week after receiving a complaint about his conflicts of interest from the company whose drug was about to come before the panel. Dr. Thomas Fleming, a long-time member of numerous FDA advisory panels, in 2002-3 reviewed studies on the antibiotic Factive for Oscient Pharmaceuticals' predecessor firm. He subsequently questioned the company's use of non-inferiority trials, which had been used in the initial approval of Factive. The company then protested his presence on a new committee looking into the company's request to expand the use of the drug, which also relied on a non-inferiority trial. The FDA denied him a conflict-of-interest waiver and he was not permitted to serve. (In a non-inferiority trial, the drug is compared to an already approved drug rather than a placebo. Since many antibiotics are only marginally better than placebo, critics - including several FDA examiners - believe that the statistical margins of error in antibiotic non-inferiority trials can lead to approving drugs that may not be effective.)
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, FDA officials said their refusal to grant Fleming a waiver was unrelated to Oscient's complaint or his concerns about non-inferiority trials. The FDA let stand waivers granted to Peter Gross, a professor of medicine at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and John Bradley of Children's Hospital in San Diego. Both waivers were for consulting with competitor firms. Fleming told the Journal that he is concerned that the integrity of the advisory committee process "would be significantly compromised if there is a possibility that a company could intervene in the committee-making process." The flap had no bearing on the ultimate vote, since the full panel voted 11-2 against Oscient's application to use Factive for sinusitis. The FDA usually follows the advice of its advisory committees.
NIH Passes Buck on Conflict-of-Interest Cases The second-ranking official at the National Institutes of Health last week told a House subcommittee that only "minimal" disciplinary actions had been taken against employees who broke conflict of interest rules to consult with industry. The excuse? Technically, the high-ranking employees were members of the Public Health Service, a quasi-military corps within the Department of Health and Human Services. The "NIH concluded that the facts [warranted] referral to the corps, which has independent authority to determine the most appropriate level of discipline for its commissioned officers," said Raynard Kington, deputy director of NIH. He also revealed that Trey Sunderland, chief of the geriatric psychiatry branch at the National Institute of Mental Health, and Thomas J. Walsh, a top officer at the pediatric oncology unit of the National Cancer Institute, had not yet been punished for receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars as consultants for drug companies while on the government payroll. John Agwunobi, Assistant Secretary for Health for the Department of Health and Human Services for the Public Health Service, refused to discuss displinary cases that were still underway. The HHS Office of the Inspector General also came in for criticism during the hearing for failing to investigate conflicts of interest at NIH.
Harvard Prof Cleared of Ethics Violations Gave Major Gift to Dental School It turns out that Dr. Chester Douglass, who last month was cleared of violating Harvard Medical School ethics rules after misrepresenting a graduate student's research linking water fluoridation to cancer in young boys, gave $1 million to the university in 2001 for its new $22 million dental research facility, which was completed in 2004, the Harvard Crimson reports. According to the Environmental Working Group, a number of Harvard alums involved in public health have asked interim president Derek Bok, who recently authored University in the Marketplace: the Commercialization of Higher Education,to release the details of its investigation into Douglass, who consults for Colgate-Palmolive Co. and edits its publication, "The Oral Care Report." A Harvard spokesman said the university has turned the results over to the federal Office of Research Integrity, which found no further cause to investigate.
Odds and Ends A new Government Accountability Office report released by Rep. Henry Waxman shows that corporations and industry trade groups filed more than half the Data Quality Act challenges in 2003-04. Nearly half resulted in groups appealing agency decisions, and some complaints took up to two years to resolve . . . The Consumer Federation of America's annual National Food Policy Conference held in Washington last week included several Center for Science in the Public Interest staffers and top government officials as unpaid speakers. The conference's costs were partially underwritten by major food corporations and trade groups such as Food Products Association, Mars, Inc., the National Yogurt Association, and Safeway.
Correction In last week's item, "EPA Committee Will Debate Best Ways To Monetize Human Life," the University of Maryland professor who chaired the committee is Maureen Cropper, not Maurice Cropper. We apologize for the error.

It's thyroid cancer so it's the "best" cancer you can get. Just have to get surgery to remove my thyroid and keep checking the rest of my life to make sure it doesn't come back or spread. So I got off pretty easily, all things considered.
Oh my gosh, that really sounds scary... But I won't freak out if that will make you feel better.
Just hope it'll go away forever once you have your thyroid removed and you never have to think about it again. *hugs*

With their elegant, intricate and flawless vocal arrangements, the Flamingos are widely regarded as one of the best vocal groups in music history. The graceful vocals and sharp choreography of Motown's biggest stars – the Temptations, the Supremes, the Jackson 5 and the Miracles among them – owe a debt to the Flamingos, as do such paragons of Philadelphia soul as the Spinners, and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Although many of the Flamingos' recordings did not make the pop charts or even get heard beyond a regional fan base, they have with hindsight acquired a reputation as vocal-group classics. In particular, their third single, "Golden Teardrops," has been hailed as "the most perfect-sounding single of all time" and "a legendary masterpiece." Yet it failed to reach the national pop charts upon its initial release in 1953, and a reissue eight years later stalled at Number 108. Still, the Flamingos put 11 singles on the pop chart and nine singles on the R&B chart between 1956 and 1970. Two of those singles made the Top 10: "I'll Be Home" (Number Five R&B) and "I Only Have Eyes For You" (Number Three R&B and Number 11 pop).
The Flamingos formed in 1952 in Chicago, where they sang in a church choir. Somewhat uniquely, the congregation to which founding members Jake Carey, Zeke Carey, Paul Wilson and Johnnie Carter belonged was the black Jewish Church of God and Saints of Christ. Having mastered the minor-key melodies of Jewish hymns, they retained this influence when they began singing pop and R&B. Initially known as the Swallows, then the Five Flamingos, and eventually just the Flamingos, they became a quintet with the addition of Earl Lewis. They signed to the Chicago-based Chance label in 1953. By then, they had a new lead vocalist, Sollie McElroy, who was discovered at a talent show. They recorded in a variety of styles, including midtempo ballads ("Someday, Someway"), lowdown blues ("Blues in a Letter"), pop standards ("That's My Desire") and jump tunes ("Jump Children").
From Chance, they moved to Parrot, where they recorded a handful of singles, including the ballad "Dream of a Lifetime" and the uptempo "Ko Ko Mo," and acquired yet another lead singer, Nate Nelson. In 1955, they signed with Chess Records and released records on its Checker subsidiary. Their third 45 for Checker was "I'll Be Home," a dramatic ballad in which a serviceman promises a loved one that he'll return. It became their first R&B smash and would've no doubt been a big mainstream hit, too, had Pat Boone not rushed out a pallid cover version. Deejay Alan Freed thought highly enough of the Flamingos to include them in two of his late-Fifties rock and roll flicks: Rock, Rock, Rock (in which they performed "Would I Be Crying") and Go Johnny Go! ("Jump Children").
In 1958, the group moved to George Goldner's End Records, and they moved from Chicago to New York City as well. Their lineup now consisted of Zeke and Jake Carey, Paul Wilson, Nate Nelson, new singer Tommy Hunt and guitarist/singer Terry Johnson, the Flamingos cut some of their most enduring sides for End, including the exquisite "Lovers Never Say Goodbye" and their satiny signature song, "I Only Have Eyes for You" (Number Three R&B, Number 11 pop). The latter, originally a 1934 hit for Ben Selvin, is one of the most sublime and enduring vocal-group recordings of all time. While at End, the Flamingos released four albums, including Flamingo Serenade, a masterful album of pop standards by Cole Porter, George Gershwin and others.
Although the Flamingos' popularity tailed off in the Sixties with the rise of the British Invasion bands, they continued recording and performing down the decades. After the deaths of cousins Jake and Zeke Carey, Terry Johnson continued to lead and perform with a new line-up of the Flamingos.

ATLANTA (October 2011) – Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is now home to the first state designated Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center in Georgia. Located at the Children's at Egleston campus, the Level 1 distinction is the highest ranking of its kind that a hospital can attain and recognizes centers that provide both premier care and conduct academic research. Children's at Egleston achieved the designation by demonstrating model care while acting as a Level 1 facility for a year. In addition, Children's at Scottish Rite remains the state's only Level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center.
"We are elated that Children's at Egleston has achieved the designation as a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center," said Linda Cole, Vice President, Emergency and Ambulatory Services at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. "With Children's at Egleston working in tandem with the other critical care services throughout the system, we are able to broaden our reach to deliver the most efficient and specialized care for our patients.
Children's at Egleston and Children's at Scottish Rite are the only two pediatric trauma centers in the state. Accounting for more than 60 percent of the state trauma registry pediatric patients, these centers have been recognized for their collaborative efforts between the Trauma, Critical Care and Emergency Services at Children's. To receive the distinction as a trauma facility in Georgia, a hospital is reviewed under a state-designated committee that verifies the presence of the resources listed in the American College of Surgeons' Resources for Optimal Care of the Injured Patient.
"The Level 1 designation recognizes our system-wide commitment to providing the highest quality of care for our patients," said Mark Wulkan, M.D., Surgeon-in-Chief at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. "This designation will help us obtain resources to continue to improve trauma care throughout Atlanta and across Georgia."
The two Children's trauma centers house state-of-the-art technology and employ multi-disciplinary teams with extensive training in pediatric trauma services. Children's at Egleston and Children's at Scottish Rite both offer access to pediatric specialty coverage including general pediatric surgery, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, plastic surgery, hand surgery, maxillofacial surgery and rehabilitative services. As a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center, Children's at Egleston also provides cardiothoracic surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass capabilities and conducts academic research for trauma care. In addition, Children's devotes resources to injury prevention through Safe Kids Georgia and the Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children.
