Let me be the first KV-er to report that sandwich fixins', canned soups, boxed cheap plonk, and, more importantly, kibbles and treats are laid in for the predicted weather event Thursday evening.
Heads up out there!
Just back from Cork and Bottle, where we get 10% off wines on Wednesdays, and found brie half price at Kroger.
I'm snug as a bug, too.
The liquor store at
The liquor store at Cumberland Estates has 10% off on Mondays, the one at West Haven on Tuesdays, and the Cork & Bottle on Wednesdays.
Sucha Deal!
And the ladies at Scotties won't deliver even on sunny days so I have to plan ahead.
We have the kibbles and
We have the kibbles and treats. We have the liquor. I'm thinking we'll get by with our canned goods. However, I have yet to make one of those coffee can stoves recommended by Tamara. We do have a Coleman stove that hasn't been used in about 20 years. Just looked and Coleman fuel is still on the market.
If it really snows nicely, I'm going to make a dog sculpture out of snow instead of a snow man. Wish me luck.
Good Luck!

Good Luck! I look forward to the photos!
(in reply to bizgrrl)
No, no, Biz--the coffee can stove I recommended specifically for "post-trib," after those little cans of Coleman propane become unavailable!
Seriously, if you've got a Coleman propane stove, I wouldn't sweat it.
If you should choose to hammer out a little tin can stove, though, I should also explain how to make that Buddy Burner fuel source from a tuna can.
You cut out a strip of corrugated cardboard about an inch wide and 12 or so inches long, roll it up into a coil, then drop it into the tuna can, allowing it to unfurl a bit in the can. Next, you pour melted paraffin (or kids' broken crayons) into the tuna can, filling the can almost to its brim, and set it aside to let the wax harden.
After the wax has hardened and won't spill, you light the burner by touching your match to any point on the rolled-up corrugated cardboard strip, which acts as a wick.
Ta da!
I have just taught Faith to
I have just taught Faith to use the newly re-installed dog door to the back yard (Lulu is too big to squeeze through it). I'll have half the snow that falls and most of the later mud in my kitchen floor.
Speaking of Coleman stoves, one of my Flickr contacts who is just back from Afghanistan is an avid backpacker. He recently posted this photo of his new backpacking stove. It has a USB port on it and generates power to charge your cell phone as you cook.
It's like the barber said, "What will they think of . . . . Next?"

SGS00 project descriptionSub-Gridscale Studies, 2000 (aka HATS)
A field experiment is proposed to study the response of small turbulent eddies to large turbulent motions and to develop better subgrid-scale (SGS) models for large eddy simulation (LES). LES is a popular numerical tool for studying turbulence; in this technique, a turbulent flow field is divided between resolved-scale eddies (which are also referred to as the filtered field or large eddies) and unresolved eddies (also referred to as the SGS or small eddies). The large eddies are explicitly calculated, while the effect of SGS eddies on the resolved-scale flow field is parameterized. Developing such a SGS model requires data that separate the turbulent motion into two components: filtered and SGS fields.
A method of measuring both filtered and SGS motions using a two-level array of 3-component sonic anemometers was recently proposed by Tong et al. (1999). A primary line consisting of nine sonic anemometers provides both filtered and SGS fields (velocity and temperature) at five points and also the SGS stresses at the center point; and a second line consisting of five more sonic anemometers is used to determine the strain rate of the resolved-scale field. This array allows us to examine relationships between the SGS and the resolved-scale motions in the atmospheric surface layer. In the proposed research, we will focus on the SGS response to stability effects, and also test two specific SGS models.
The proposed work is our first step towards a long-term, collective effort among LES practitioners, turbulence researchers and micrometeorology experimentalists to address complicated problems such as diffusion and chemical reactions in stable boundary layers where turbulence is intermittent; interactions between boundary-layer turbulence and the Earth's surface (both over ocean and land); and entrainment across strongly-stratified capping inversions where small-scale turbulent motions may dominate. To gain insights into these problems, we wish to take advantage of both field experiments and state-of-the-art numerical techniques: using field data to develop a proper SGS model for LES, and then applying LES to systematically tackle the processes listed above.

Field Hockey Falls To West Chester, 3-2, In A-10 Opener
Oct. 9, 2004
AMHERST, Mass. -- The West Chester University field hockey team scored three unanswered goals in a span of less than 10 minutes to overcome a 2-0 deficit and defeat the University of Massachusetts in both squads' Atlantic 10 openers this afternoon at Garber Field. Massachusetts out-shot West Chester, 18-7, in the game but could not rally back.
With the loss, UMass is now 2-11 overall and 0-1 in league play. West Chester improves to 2-10 and 1-0.
UMass dominated the first 20 minutes of the first half taking five shots and not allowing West Chester any penetration into the offensive zone, but the game was scoreless at halftime. West Chester recorded all three of its shots in one flurry following a penalty corner, but UMass senior Christine Tocco (Reading, Mass.) made three saves.
In the second half, UMass came out firing and quickly took a 2-0 lead just seven minutes after halftime. 2:04 into the second half, sophomore Marije Tigchelaar (The Hague, Netherlands) passed the ball into the circle and found junior Patricia Borneo (Arima, Trinidad & Tobago). Borneo wheeled around and score from six yards out. Less than four minutes later, UMass got its first penalty corner of the game and made the most out of it. Borneo passed in to junior Katelyn Woolfrey (Somerset, Mass.). Woolfrey set for junior Jaime Bawden (Penticton, British Columbia) whose took a shot which was saved by West Chester goalkeeper Carrie Hanshue. Freshman Rachael Mervine (Conway, Mass.) then got the rebound, but her shot hit the right post. Sophomore Gina Sanders (Morgan Hill, Calif.) chased down the rebound and found senior Caitlin Beresin (Acton, Mass.)deep in the circle. Beresin shot and scored for her team-leading fourth goal of the season and gave UMass a 2-0 lead.
It appeared that UMass was in control but on a long ball by Mary Ellen Wells, Tocco came out of the net to kick it away. The officials ruled that she was outside of the circle when she kicked it away and awarded West Chester a penalty corner. The Golden Rams converted as Rachel Lindsey scored off assists by Erin Arrowood and Sara Conrad and that seemed to change the momentum. Mary Ellen Wells then tied the game exactly one minute later when she picked off a UMass pass and beat Tocco from the top of the circle. The Golden Rams then got the game-winning tally eight minutes later when Colleen Smith scored an unassisted tally when she came in on a 2-1 with Mary Ellen Wells.
UMass put the pressure on the rest of the half, but Hanshue stood her ground and added to her save tally which ranks second in the nation. With 6:24 left, UMass tried some trickery on a penalty corner and it nearly worked. Borneo fed Woolfrey and faked the set to Bawden\. Tigchelaar then came in and faked a shot while passing to senior Adrianne Monaco (Oxford, N.Y.) in front of the net. Monaco had Hanshue out of place, but her one-timer went just wide to the left. Two minutes later, UMass had another flurry where it recorded three shots in front of the net but Hanshue was there to stop them all.
UMass had one last chance to tie the game when it was awarded a penalty corner with just 25 seconds left. The Minutewomen took their time to set up and started it with no time on the clock. Borneo fed Woolfrey who set for Tigchelaar. Tigchelaar got the space she needed and fired off a shot that went just wide left and ended the game.
Tocco made four saves for the Minutewomen while Hanshue had eight on the other side.
UMass will host La Salle tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. in an Atlantic 10 battle at Garber Field.

Copyright duration is always calculated relative to the calendar year, which means that every January 1st a new batch of works enters the public domain. We IP geeks mark the occasion by celebrating Public Domain Day (along with that other January 1st holiday). By entering the public domain third-party creators are now free to join the original author in disseminating, analyzing, selling, remixing, and doing all sorts of interesting things with the work; the work becomes part of our collective cultural identity.
… at least that's what should happen. But as Ars Technica, Creative Commons, and public domain guru James Boyle all note, no published work in the United States will enter the public domain again for nearly another decade, thanks to recent copyright extensions. So while other countries are enjoying increased access to hundreds of works, we will still be waiting for the works of Robert Frost, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Aldous Huxley to come down from their 95 years in copyright. Assuming the work was published in compliance with the formalities the Copyright Act had at the time, no work published after 1923 will enter the public domain until 2018.
You can click those links above to see the sad news about what we can't use freely thanks to our vastly overreaching copyright laws. I'm here to tell you some good news. In fact, a small class of works did find their way into the public domain this year in the U.S.. But don't get too excited.
To understand what entered the public domain you need to know a little history. For over a century the law in the US recognized a "common-law" perpetual copyright for unpublished works. While U.S. copyright law kicked in and the duration clock began ticking whenever a work was published, the author forever maintained the exclusive right to publish their work first. When Congress revised the Copyright Act in the 1970s they sought to do away with this (as we were now adopting a new life-of-the-author-plus-some-years system for calculating duration), but didn't want to immediately inject all these unpublished works into the public domain. So the 1976 act provided a compromise, encouraging holders of unpublished work to publish. That compromise is 17 U.S.C. § 303, which grants copyright protection until 2047 (!!) for any work not published when the 1976 Act went into effect (January 1, 1978), but published between that point and December 31, 2002. After that, the unpublished work would enter the public domain in the regular life-of-the-author-plus-fifty-years cycle (extended to life+70 years in the 1990s).
So, any work whose author died in 1940 and was either published after 2002 or never published, entered the public domain on January 1st. So go make some cool mashups, all you people out there holding onto unreleased drafts by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Emma Goldman, Leon Trotsky, Alfred Ploetz, Paul Klee, Nathanael West, or Philip Francis Nowlan. Happy Public Domain Day.

Once again, Ricky sat down - by himself - with Bill Parcells and negotiated a one-year contract extension.
He got what he wanted, and felt good about it. And to paraphrase his mom last year when he did the same thing "that's Ricky. He's smart and he knows what he's doing." And as we reported last year, Ricky has negotiated contracts for himself in the past - most notably when he played minor league baseball.
And to celebrate, he decided to go out and get married. This weekend, he's taking himself off of the eligible list, and settling down.
While I had poked fun at him in the past, I have been seeing a different person over the last few years, and I resepect what he's doing, and am somewhat sorry that I bought into "the hype" that came with him when he retired and came back.
Anyway, he has more of his life in order and has mapped out a strategy - he plans to retire at the end of next season; or at the end of his new contract.
And then move on and do....whatever it is he wants to.
Good for him. For the second time in his career he'll go out on his own terms. Only this time, he laid out the terms rather than appearing to quit on everyone.

*Updated UO season / career stats are available via the link above, and this week's NCAA / Pac-10 rankings reports are available in the LINKS box to the right.
EUGENE - With a month to go before the Pac-10 Conference announces its All-Freshman Team, several newcomers have been busy helping the No. 20 Oregon volleyball team to another outstanding season.
This week, setter Lauren Plum ranked ninth nationally overall in assists (11.76) and tops among freshmen, and is one of only two frosh with Pepperdine's Kellie Woolever (16th, 11.38) directing a top-25 offense (UO is 22nd at .267 and Pepperdine is 20th at .271).
On the all-time Oregon lists, Plum's assist per set average (11.76) ranks fifth-best in school history and second in the modern scoring format (25-point, rally scoring). For comparison's sake, she is not far off then-senior Nevena Djordjevic's total (12.38) from last year that ranked second nationally and third all-time for UO.
In Pac-10 stats this week, Plum topped Pac-10 frosh at all positions in doubles-doubles (5), and owned the best freshman aces mark (5) and fifth-best overall (behind four teammates' efforts) from the five-set win at PSU. She also owned the most assists among all players in a three-set match (48) from her collegiate debut against frequent NCAA qualifier Santa Clara.
Middle blocker Ariana Williams stood 12th nationally among freshmen in hitting (.318), second among frosh in the Pac-10 and tops overall for Oregon. The Riverside, Calif., native's hitting mark also stands sixth all-time among Ducks and second-best among UO frosh all-time behind Heather Meyers' .347 mark in '07.
In this week's Pac-10 stats, Williams owned the top freshman hitting mark in a match and second-best overall in the league this year – her .722 total (14K-1E-18A) against returning NCAA qualifier Florida International.
Among other Ducks in this week's national rankings, senior outside hitter Heather Meyers ranked top four nationally in service aces per set for the sixth straight edition (fourth-tie, 0.64), just behind Emily Danks of Ohio State (first, 0.70), Jessica Hays of Central Arkansas (second, 0.66) and Zoe Bowens of Maryland-Eastern Shore (third, 0.65).
For comparison's sake, the Temecula, Calif., native led the nation for five weeks last year and ended the campaign ranked 32nd nationally with her 0.43 per set average, while last year's national leader Ashley Herman of Delaware State logged a 0.63 average.
In other national categories in the top 50, Meyers remained 33rd in points (4.57 p/s), while team-wise, UO ranked 13th nationally in aces per set (1.80), and also stood top 25 in kills (20th, 14.15 p/s), assists (21st, 13.22 p/s) and hitting (22nd, .267).
Updated every Monday afternoon, NCAA stats are available via the http://web1.ncaa.org/stats/StatsSrv/ranksummary?sportCode=WVB URL address, and all of Oregon's national team and individual rankings follow:
UO - NCAA Team Rankings
Aces – 13th, 1.92 p/s (leader Md.-Eastern Shore, 2.11)
Kills – 20th, 14.15 (leader Tulsa, 15.40)

On the Oregon all-time career charts last week, Meyers moved up twp position in kills. Here are her current standings and improvements to watch for:
- Career Service Aces – 2nd, 161 (1st is 200)
- Career Attack Pct. - 3rd, .291 (2nd is .316)
- Career Points – 3rd, 1,581 (1st is 1,852)
- Career Service Aces Per Set – 4th-t, 0.40 (3rd is 0.48)
- Career Kills – 6th, 1,285 (5th is 1,353)
- Career Attack Attempts – 9th, 2,846 (8th is 3,075)
- Season Service Aces – 7th-t, 52 (6th is 53, 4th is 59, 3rd is 60)
Two weeks ago, Meyers landed four aces at No. 8 USC and No. 11 UCLA and handily leads active Pac-10 players in career service aces (165) - 39 ahead of Arizona's Paige Weber (116) – and stands fifth in career kills (1,285) and ninth in career total blocks (249).
Glancing at the Pac-10 record books, Meyers moved up three positions to third all-time in career service aces (165) two weekends ago, and is only six away from the second-best mark in league history by Logan Tom of Stanford (171, 1999-2002). Season-wise, her career-high 52 aces in 81 sets of play in 2010 are seven shy of a three-way tie for the eighth-best mark in league history that includes former Moore pupil Mira Djuric (59, 107 sets) in '05.

I'm sorry, folks, but whether it should or shouldn't, your first impression does affect how people react to and interact with you, and first impressions do affect outcomes. The good thing is that times have changed and public life is generally more casual than it used to be. I think it is safe to say that it doesn't matter whether you buy your clothes at the Goodwill, Walmart, or Joseph Banks; if you are clean and dress with self-respect, you will be better received than if you are unkempt and sloppy. People are more willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
There is a reason why you are polite, civil and respectful during a traffic stop - because it makes a favorable impression. Your attire makes an impression, too.
SentryOne, it's hard to OC without tucking in your shirt, just from a practical standpoint. As long as you are reasonably clean and neat, I don't think most people with notice or care that you are carrying. If people do notice, the better your first impression, the more lattitude you are likely to receive. We tend to be a lot more conscious of our own carry, than others are.

STANFORD, Calif.- No. 12 Stanford continues its four-game homestand later this week, hosting No. 20 New Hampshire on Friday (6 p.m.) and VCU on Sunday (2 p.m.) at the Varsity Turf.
The Cardinal (1-1, 0-0 NorPac) will face its second nationally-ranked opponent of the year when No. 20 New Hampshire (0-2, 0-0 America East) visits The Farm. The Wildcats enter Friday's contest winless in two attempts, but that's a bit deceiving. New Hampshire's first loss was an 8-4 defeat to No. 2 Maryland, but the Wildcats scored three of the game's final four goals. The following day, New Hampshire dropped a 3-2 decision to Ohio State after the Buckeyes scored with five seconds left in regulation and eventually won the game in a penalty shootout.
VCU (0-1, 0-0 Atlantic 10), which squares off against Pacific on Friday night, came up short in its season opener at William & Mary last weekend, falling 4-2. The Rams received the bulk of their offensive production from Stephanie Demasi and Kendell Combs, with both players accounting for one goal and one assist while combining for eight of VCU's 12 shots.
Stanford came away with a split last weekend but should be encouraged by both performances.
Facing No. 4 Connecticut in the season opener, Stanford nearly knocked off its highest-ranked opponent since a 2-1 upset of No. 3 Michigan State on Aug. 31, 2001. The Huskies prevailed 2-1 in double-overtime, but the Cardinal settled down after a slow start and proved to be the more aggressive team after halftime. Jessica Chisholm tied the game at 1-1 with less than four minutes remaining in regulation while overtime near-misses from Alex McCawley and Hope Burke nearly won the game for Stanford, which owned advantages in shots (15-7) and penalty corners (5-2).
Rebounding emphatically two days later, Stanford easily dispatching Michigan State 5-2 for its first win in the series since 2011. Burke and Maddie Secco scored two goals apiece, leading an efficient offensive attack in which Stanford found the cage five times off 11 total shots. Lauren Becker was credited with one goal and one assist off the bench while Kelsey Harbin registered the fifth defensive save of her career.
Meanwhile, Burke was named the NorPac's West Division Offensive Player of the Week. The senior captain attempted a team-high five shots and scored twice over two games. Against Connecticut, Burke tallied a team-best three shot attempts. Two days later, she scored twice against Michigan State in her fourth career multi-goal game.

The number of Americans with diabetes has increased more than three million since 2010 according to a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report released Tuesday. In 2012 alone, 1.7 million were diagnosed with the disease. Of the more than 29 million people with diabetes, a quarter are unaware they have the disease. There currently is no cure for diabetes.
An additional 86 million people have prediabetes — fasting glucose levels between 100 and 125 mg/dl. Glucose levels between 70–99 mg/dl are considered normal. Undiagnosed cases are determined by counting people without a history of diabetes who have a fasting blood glucose level greater than or equal to 126 mg/dl.
Diabetes can lead to serious health complications including kidney failure, heart disease, blindness, amputations and premature death. Total medical costs and costs of lost work and wages in the country due to diabetes have increased from $174 billion in 2007 to $245 billion in 2012. Blacks, Hispanics and American Indian/Alaska Native adults are twice as likely as whites to develop diabetes, the report found.
"Now is the time to take action. If these numbers continue to rise, 1 in 5 people could have diabetes by the year 2025, and it could be 1 in 3 people by the year 2050. We simply can't sustain this trajectory – the implications are far too great – for our families, our healthcare system, our workforce, our nation." — Ann Albright, PhD, RD - Director, Division of Diabetes Translation, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
Type 2 diabetes, which accounts for 90–95 percent of all cases, can be controlled with healthy eating, exercise, weight control and oral medications. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include obesity, older age and a family history of the disease. This type of diabetes develops as the pancreas gradually loses the ability to produce enough insulin necessary to metabolize sugars in the blood.
Symptoms of diabetes include sudden weight loss, excessive thirst, extreme hunger, frequent urination and failure of sores to heal quickly. A fasting blood glucose test, administered after eight hours of fasting, is the most common method used to make a diagnoses of diabetes or prediabetes. Type 2 diabetes screening is one of the preventative services health insurance companies must cover at no cost under the Affordable Care Act.

COLUMBUS — Gov. John Kasich isn't tickled by the pinkish color of Ohio's newer driver licenses.
The governor said as an aside during a speech in Dayton on Tuesday that he will eliminate what he called "the pink driver's license." The Columbus Dispatch reported his comment drew laughter.
Afterward, Kasich told reporters his remark was "sort of tongue in cheek," though he indicated there have been complaints about the color and that his administration is wondering if there's something better. He says he recently got his new license and went: "Whoa."
The state started phasing in the salmon color in 2009 to help improve the security of licenses. Joe Andrews of the Department of Public Safety said it's a tough color to reproduce on a phony license.

GENERIC NAME: beclomethasone dipropionate inhaler/spray
BRAND NAME: Beconase AQ, QNASL
DISCONTINUED BRANDS: Vancenase, Vancenase AQ, and Beconase
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Beclomethasone is a synthetic steroid of the glucocorticoid family. The naturally-occurring glucocorticoid that is produced by the adrenal gland is cortisol or hydrocortisone. Glucocorticoid steroids have potent anti-inflammatory actions. When used as a nasal inhaler or spray, the medication goes directly to the lining of the nose, and very little is absorbed into the body. The FDA approved beclomethasone nasal spray in September 1981.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Beclomethasone nasal inhalers are used for the relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Rhinitis is a condition in which the lining (mucus membranes) of the nose swells and fluid is released (a "runny nose"). The drug should not be used in children younger than 5 years old.

Review four books, three movies, and one theatre show without boring you?
*cue kitschy game show music*
*Enter from left: Sleazy, arrogant host with slicked back hairpiece, shiny suit, porcelain teeth, and the weight of the world on his shoulders due to an upcoming court case involving his missing accountant, embezzled investment funds, a 40 grand credit card bill run up at a hotel in Cancun allegedly owned by the Mexican Mafia, his pregnant-with-twins former personal assistant currently in witness protection, a botched blackmail attempt, some suspicious blood stains, and a spectacularly buff maître de from New Jersey called Pablo.*
*Host smiles cheesily at camera, introduces himself, makes sexist joke, laughs, reluctantly peels his eyes away from the camera to introduce the increasingly frustrated carry-over champion Cate, whom he belittles every episode by drawing attention to the studio lights making her hair look grey, her need to stand on a box to be in camera shot, and mentioning her obvious lack of any successful cosmetic surgical procedures, all while thinking ahead to which bisexually-oriented strip club he will take the network bosses that night and wondering if he can turn it into a tax deduction*
*Cate decides to reject her usual front-of-camera state of total zen*
*dim lights*
Host: "And here we go! [assumes serious demeanour by remembering the exquisite Pablo has an uncle who is a hitman] My dear Cate, select a category."
Cate: "Theatre for $200. [mutters "And I'm not your dear."]
*audio guy chuckles, all floor crew pay a little more attention, the director sits up straighter in his chair, and the atmosphere in the control booth intensifies*
Host [hides annoyance behind gritted teeth]: "Okayyyyy. A remarkable live show. Part shadow theatre, part modern dance, part circus, part acrobatics. An enthralling story, told completely through such fluid, beautiful, and astoundingly clever human movement, that not once do any 'interpretive dance' jokes enter your mind. Captivating, funny and brilliant."
Cate: "What is 'Shadowland', presented by Pilobolus Dance Theater.
Host: "Correct...now..."
Cate: "They've finished their Australian tour."
Host [shrugs]: "Right, we don't need to know..."
Cate: "Wherever they are now, everyone should go see them."
Host [frowns, vein in temple twitches]: "Fine. Whatever. Now, would you like to select a category?"
Cate: "Movies for $200."
Host [catches his own reflection in a new part of the set, grins stupidly and starts daydreaming of white beaches and dark biceps, until a cameraman coughs and interrupts his reverie]: "Yes. Next. The true story of four young men from the wrong side of the tracks, who were in and out of trouble with women, the law, local gangsters, and worst of all, their mothers, but went on to form one of the most iconic groups of the 1960s. A rollicking journey through music history with fantastic performances, and tunes you will be humming long after the credits finish rolling. You probably didn't even know what a fan you were, until you realised you knew the words to every song. Toe-tapping fun."
Cate: "What is Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons."
Host [surprised and flustered by mental images of the last time he met Pablo in a Four Seasons hotel, searches through question cards]: "Err..."
Cate [rolls eyes impatiently]: "What? It's Jersey Boys. Check your card, Einstein."
*director asks assistant if they have a four-second-delay button on standby*
Host [laughs dismissively]: "I already put the card aside, I thought the answer was supposed to be Grease. Hahaha..." [turns to floor manager and mouths "What is she doing?"]
Cate [snorts]: "Grease? Seriously? Are you shitting me?"
*director drops coffee and lunges for four-second-delay button*
Host [coughs and mutters something unintelligible, but sounds suspiciously like 'bucking fitch']: "Right. Correct...and..."
Cate [smirks]: "I think you confused it because it was a stage show too. [dripping with sarcasm] All those singing and dancing shows are the same, right?"
Host [shuffles question cards violently]: "Yes, right....I mean... Anyhow.... moving on...."
Cate [speaking slowly]: "The DVD would make a great gift for anyone who doesn't understand the difference. Like yourself."
Host [vein throbbing noticeably, sheen of sweat appearing on forehead] : "CATE.... [clears throat].... Cate, select a category. Now."
Cate [haughtily]: "There's no need to yell at me. [mutters "dickhead" quite audibly, forcing director to move permanently closer to the four-second-delay button] Movies for $400."
Host [hears sniggering, glances at floor crew, plasters fake smile on face while wondering if Cate is related to one of his ex-wives] : "Right. A thrilling spy story, set in Hamburg and based on the John Le Carre novel. This is not the stuff of James Bond - no explosions or crazy gadgets here - but a smart and subtle insight into the gathering of intelligence from suspected terrorists, and the battle amongst various agencies to control the outcomes. Captivating performances, particularly by Philip Seymour Hoffman."
Cate: "What is A Most Wanted Man."
Host [determined grimace]: "Correct. Select..."
Cate: "Such a wonderful talent lost to us."
Host [eyes widen, mouth drops open with exasperation]: "Sorry, what?"
Cate [sniffs]: "Philip Seymour Hoffman. His final movie. Tragic."
Host [confused look at floor manager, who is hiding behind the cameraman, both suppressing laughter]: "Uhhh... Isn't he making a living in Germany delivering messages in his Baywatch Speedos now or something?"
Cate [disgusted snarl]:"That's David Hasselhoff, you ignorant tosser."
*clattering sounds can be heard off set, as crew scramble to get advice from the legal department on the censorship of the word 'tosser'*
Host [turns red, takes deep breaths, glares at floor manager who is now doubled over with mirth]: "Cate, just select a goddamn bloody category."
*director wearily places forehead on four-second-delay button*
Cate [arches eyebrow]: "Clearly, you don't write the questions. It's a wonder you even have the ability to read them without having a stroke. If a thought ever crossed your mind it would be a long and lonely journey. [smiles sweetly] Movies for $600. [mutters "fucking arsehole"]
*director breaks four-second-delay button through repeated rapid pounding*
Host [turns away from camera and appears to take a sip from a flask concealed in his jacket, turns back with wet lips and drool on his chin]: "Ahh, hell. Umm...[burps] An action-packed futuristic thriller which makes us wonder what kind of world we would live in if we had the ability to use 100% of our brain's capabilities. From a young girl caught in a Taiwanese drug deal gone wrong, [tugs at shirt collar and looks nervously towards network lawyers who have now arrived on set] to a brains trust holed up in a French university where the girl becomes the focus of everyone's scientific attention, there is rarely a dull moment."
Cate: "What is..."
Host [wild-eyed, vein in temple threatening to explode, brow dripping sweat, punches fist in the air and yells]: "WAIT! HAHA! I know this one... It's the one starring Nelson Mandela and the blonde with nice tits..."
*director carefully pours his fresh coffee over the control board*
Cate [steps down from box and advances angrily towards Host]: "HEY, SHIT-FOR-BRAINS! I do the answers, you're supposed to let me say 'What is Lucy'..."
Host [desperately turns towards floor crew to find them all convulsing with laughter]: "Hey! Some help here? SOMEBODY STOP THE BLOODY COW BEFORE SHE..."
Cate [knocks the question cards from Host's hand and tugs the toupee from his head]: "The blonde's name is Scarlett Johansson and it's NOT Nelson Mandela, it's MORGAN FREEMAN, you COCKJUGGLING WANKBADGER..."
*director slowly stands up, puts on his coat, reaches into his pocket for his cigarettes and matches, sets fire to the booth, and heads straight to the unemployment office*
*office assistant bursts into studio yelling at Host that someone named Pablo is calling from a detention centre, crying and asking which of the fake passports he was supposed to use*
*Host faints*
Cate [steps over Host, looks around forlornly as the still laughing crew all wander off]: "But... we haven't even done the book categories yet..."
*lights go out*

Good setups have been pretty easy to come by lately. From last week's post we had CF up 5%, SCHW up 3%, APC up 5%, and the big winner was KBH up 14%.
Of course most of this is due to the overall market just grinding higher.
A nice proxy for the overall market, $FDX is moving into 5-years highs which signals that the economy is getting back on track.
I actually was thinking to myself that we are now in a swing trade type of market, and that thought, plus the ease of gains lately tells me we are probably in for a pullback soon. But as always, price action is what we follow.
I have been asked what the best way to use this weekly list is, and here are my suggestions.
First you can use it for a day trade or very short-term trade template (2-4 days). Each week there are usually a couple of candidate that make a nice quick move. However, the other way you can use it is for a longer term template. I tend to be "early" on some picks, so if you can get a nice entry you might be able to hold them a few weeks. Here are some examples from recent posts.
I highlighted a buy area in $GS back in late December, indicated by the green arrow. You could have bought it there and pretty much held it since for about a 17% gain.
$TEX is another stock from a post in early December that has gone on to a 25% gain. Unfortunately, I got stopped out of it.
Now on to this week's list.
$ADM recently recaptured its 200ma and is basing below a resistance level.
$ADP is getting ready to breakout into 12-year highs. The script here would be anticipation of the jobs market coming back. Needs a few days of sideways work first.
$BIDU is a holdover from last week. This very tight flag just below the top of a large down channel could be the launching pad for a move and a change of trend.
If you look at the bottoming pattern in the oval area, there is something of an inverse H&S pattern. The consolidation afterwards along the 200ma makes me think $BTU is getting ready to move.
If the economy is really on a comeback, this shipper should be near a bottom. The tight flag gives you a good risk/reward setup to get long on a breakout in $EGLE.
Financials have been hot lately, and this tight flag on $FITB after breaking into 5-year highs is a great setup to get long.
Arf, arf. Yes, $GRPN has been a dog, BUT……!!! If it can break this resistance level at $5.50, it has a good chance to get to at least the 200ma around $6.90 or even the gap fill at $7.40 setting anywhere from a 1:3 to 1:8 risk/reward ration depending on how tight you set the stop.
After putting in a double bottom, $HAR is consolidating in a tight range at the top of a very large "W" pattern.
I highlighted $IBB, a biotech ETF, back in mid-November, noting that it made a "double tap" off its 200ma. Since then it has set up nice, consolidating right below it's all-time high.
$KEYW is a holdover from last week. I just like this pattern.
Keeping in the biotech mode, $LLY is consolidating nicely under 5-year highs.
Last week I noted that well run casino companies were on my radar to be the big winners this year. $MGM is providing another chance to get long on a break out here if you missed the first one.
$OXY looks like it may have bottomed here. Nice consolidation and now is breaking past the 200ma.
My traditional "I don't know what they do stock," but this consolidation zone after breaking out, right under all-time highs looks nice.
I hate trading $WLT and in fact is was on my post, "The 5 Hardest Stocks To Trade….Ever!" Having said that, the stock is getting to a point where resistance and the 200ma are converging. A break of that area could finally send this perpetual buyout stock flying.

Summer movies, 2014
May 16, 2014
Movie reviewer Robert Horton wants you to be ready for the coming movie season. Here's his preview of what's opening this summer. Click through to see what's coming up, starting with a giant reptile.
May 16
Another go-round for the 60-year-old giant reptile, this time summoned when a couple of dinosaurish creatures emerge from a nuclear-plant disaster. Interesting cast — Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston — and dazzling effects, but the human part of the movie is completely bland and colorless.

Mike Stoops signed two mid-year junior college transfers this week to join the Arizona football program in January, bringing in an offensive lineman and a tight end from the juco ranks.
Lineman Addison Bachman, 6-foot-5, 290 pounds, of Citrus College in California and tight end Drew Robinson, 6-foot-5, 245 pounds, of Snow College in Utah signed letters to enroll for the spring semester.
"We lose an entire offensive line and needed some mid-year help," Stoops said of bringing in the two who will contend across the front immediately. "It was important for us to bolster our depth on the line and at tight end." UA started six seniors at center, guard, tackle and tight end for most of its games this year.
Bachman preppred at Glendora, Calif., High School before attending Chaffey College where he redshirted 2008. He went on to Citrus and started the last two years, and will have two years of eligibility at UA. He earned first-team All-CIF honors for the Inland Division as a high school senior at Glendora.
Robinson, of Coalville, Utah, North Summit High, also ia a two-for-two recruit who redshirted at Snow College in 2008. He was a second-team all-state defensive end and tight end at North Summit his senior year, plus a basketball and wrestling star.
Arizona is expected to sign about 20 more recruits for the Class of 2011 during the spring National Letter of Intent period in February.

Beeman presents American political culture on the eve of the Revolution as confused and uncertain. Political ideals and practices varied from region to region. Opinions differed on the basic responsibilities of voters and candidates, and expectations on how elected officials should serve the population were all over the map. "Diversity may be the only generalization that we can make about eighteenth-century American political culture," he writes. Therefore, the true story of the origin of American democracy is a combination of stories.
"When we see how difficult the establishment of a democratic nation in America was, it should not surprise us that we find it more difficult in places like Iraq." - Rick Beeman
In The Varieties of Political Experience in Eighteenth-Century America, the author synthesizes the work of colonial historians to create a unique overview of political culture and practice across the colonies. Here are a few examples from his assortment of political specimens.
Virtuous rule meant one thing on the shores of Maine, where isolated leaders bent Puritan municipal codes to adapt to the harsh, isolated frontier. It meant something else on the swamp coast of South Carolina, where Anglophile merchant planters maintained a strict slavery-based hierarchy. Even within the colony of Pennsylvania, western frontier folk had a radically different notion of public interest than easterners like Benjamin Franklin and the Quaker elites.
Wealthy and powerful colonials imitated English culture and politics with a provincial spin. Sir William Johnson, an English-style autocrat in frontier clothing, earned his baronetís title by fighting American Indians. Later he was rumored to have fathered children with them on his vast Hudson Valley estate. Being a "natural aristocrat," this master oligarch disliked fractious elections. He used his economic clout and personal prestige to orchestrate unanimous results by handpicking the candidates from among his friends and family, discouraging opposition and making sure that those who voted and counted the votes were his dependants.
After losing his first bid for public office, George Washington learned one way to earn the respect of the people. In his next attempt, he spent £39.6 on an election-day wine, beer and spirits "treat" that helped send him to Virginiaís House of Burgesses. Beeman writes that "Washington was emphatic in his belief that his hospitality on election day was not an attempt to buy votes with food and drink." Instead, the treat shrewdly demonstrated Washingtonís "liberality" as a "genuine gentry man."
While the majority of colonial Americans were barred from voting, the growing influence of the common white male and the exceptional white female could make or break a political career. Beeman examines the controversial relationship between groups such as Bostonís South End Mob (led by the shoemaker "captain" Ebenezer Mackintosh) and the Sons of Liberty (lead by Harvard graduate Samuel Adams). He also looks at Pennsylvanian Susanna Wright, a rare woman activist who distributed Election-Day campaigns materials in Lancaster County.
The Varieties of Political Experience in Eighteenth-Century America shows us the seeds of red-and-blue state fragmentation in current U.S. politics and suggests some lessons for the troubled Iraqi elections. "When we see how difficult the establishment of a democratic nation in America was," notes Beeman, "it should not surprise us that we find it more difficult in places like Iraq."

I'm not convinced entirely that Australia is a great place for Cabernet. I've had some pretty solid Cabernet/Shiraz blends from Down Under, but it is rare that I find a pure Cabernet wine that I think stands on its own. Much of the time they have a green, vegetal characteristic and very bitter tannins which, though they might mellow with ten years in the cellar, make them downright unpleasant to drink on release. How surprised I was, then, to come across this little gem of a wine, which was not only decent, but also a steal.
Jim Barry is something of a legendary figure in the Australian wine industry, and certainly a name that everyone knows in the Clare Valley, where he spent the entirety of his 57 year winemaking career. Barry graduated from Roseworthy Agricultural College, Australia, in 1947 and became the first certified winemaker in Clare Valley when he took a position as winemaker at the Clarevale Cooperative winery, which was the major winemaking operation in the region at the time (wine has been made in the Clare Valley since 1851).
After 12 years of making wine for the Cooperative, Barry and his wife started to purchase property in the valley here and there, whenever the opportunity arose and the means were available. In 1964 they bought the 70 acre plot which would become the famous Armagh vineyard, and in 1974 the family produced its first wines.
Jim Barry wines, as the winery came to be known, is one of the most famous wineries in the Clare Valley, a cool upland region that sits about 35 miles north of the city of Adelaide. Perhaps best known for its Riesling, which Jim Barry claimed to drink every day, the winery is also famous for The Armagh Shiraz, which is often rated as one of the top wines in Australia, and commands high prices at release and at auction. The winery prides itself on making 100% estate grown wines, and the fact that it is family owned and run. Sadly, Jim passed away in October of 2004 at the age of 79, and the business is now run by his children.
With an annual production of around 80,000 cases of wine, there's plenty for Jim's large family to do. Despite being an entry-level or value wine, the winery puts a great deal of care into the wine, starting with the harvesting of the grapes, which continues to be done by hand and in several selective passes, sometimes over several weeks, ensuring that only fruit of optimum ripeness are picked. Made from 100% estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon from Clare Valley and some property that the Barrys own in Coonawarra, the wine undergoes a cold-soak for 24 hours before fermentation begins in traditional open-top tanks. The wine is then barrel aged in a combination of French and American oak for 11 months, where it undergoes a secondary (Malolactic) fermentation. It is fined with egg whites before bottling.
Tasting Notes:
Dark garnet in color this wine has a pleasant nose of cherry, plum, and light mint aromas. In the mouth it is smooth and well balanced with primary flavors of cherry and tobacco. The tannins are light and well integrated and they support a surprisingly long finish with notes of mint creeping back in at the end. Perhaps a touch too much oak, I think, but overall a very well made wine.
Food Pairing:
The nice mint characteristic of this wine would make it a nice pairing for a dish that had a slight sweetness to it, like these lamb, sweet potato, and scallion kebabs.
Overall Score: 9
How Much?: $15

CALGARY -- After promising Thursday not to be fooled again by his team's on-ice product after their bid for a Stanley Cup Playoff berth fell short a year ago, Calgary Flames general manager Jay Feaster painted a much calmer picture Friday.
Prompted by his team's poor on-ice performance while pushing for one of the final playoff berths in a tight Western Conference race, Feaster vowed Thursday to be busy if he didn't see a dramatic improvement out of his club before Monday's trade deadline.
But after a good night's sleep, those comments were adjusted Friday.

Massive galaxies in the young Universe, ten billion years ago, formed stars at surprising intensities1, 2. Although this is commonly attributed to violent mergers, the properties of many of these galaxies are incompatible with such events, showing gas-rich, clumpy, extended rotating disks not dominated by spheroids1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Cosmological simulations6 and clustering theory6, 7 are used to explore how these galaxies acquired their gas. Here we report that they are 'stream-fed galaxies', formed from steady, narrow, cold gas streams that penetrate the shock-heated media of massive dark matter haloes8, 9. A comparison with the observed abundance of star-forming galaxies implies that most of the input gas must rapidly convert to stars. One-third of the stream mass is in gas clumps leading to mergers of mass ratio greater than 1:10, and the rest is in smoother flows. With a merger duty cycle of 0.1, three-quarters of the galaxies forming stars at a given rate are fed by smooth streams. The rarer, submillimetre galaxies that form stars even more intensely2, 12, 13 are largely merger-induced starbursts. Unlike destructive mergers, the streams are likely to keep the rotating disk configuration intact, although turbulent and broken into giant star-forming clumps that merge into a central spheroid4, 10, 11. This stream-driven scenario for the formation of discs and spheroids is an alternative to the merger picture.

Which formula is best for my 6 month old w/ acid reflux?
My 6 month old has acid reflux and difficluty taking naps becuase after 30 min he wakes up and lets out 2 or 3 big burps and spits up, is there anything to help him sleep better? We have tried almost every bottle, med. and formula.. Please help!

Did you try the hypoallergenic formulas like Similac Allimentum? It helped our son out a lot (he's also on Prevacid). We also use Mylicon drops in the bottles he gets before laying down. They really help him get his gas out through burps or toots, but I know they don't work for every baby. Also, we make sure he's eaten a solid before laying down for a long time. If you've started cereal or other solids, try giving those to him before naps. The very day our son started on solids his reflux improved and he slept through the night for the first time.posted 01/17/2008 by lizzieb788
I had the same problem with my daughter. She had severe acid reflux. We had to thicken her formula (alimentum) with cereal and go through many different medications to find out what would work for her. It ended up being Nexium. We also had to keep her sitting up after feedings for 30 minutes and for sleeping, her bed had to be raised so her head would be inclined. The only way she could sleep comfortably was on her belly, so she had to be on an apnea monitor. The most important thing we did to find all this out was to see a pediatric GI specialist that our peditrician recommended to us. Starting solids did help her but only to a certain extent. It took her till she was about 1 years old to finally get over the reflux when her stomach was more mature.posted 02/19/2008 by sweetpeas1
After having several choking episodes and several pedi my daughter was finally diagnosed with acid reflux. She threw up all the time. We now are on prevacid and allimentum. We started at 3 months with rice cereal in the bottle. Use the Nuk bottles. The 0+ month nipples have a large enough opening to where you dont have to cut a hole in them and it wont come out to fast! Try gas drops in every bottle. My daughter is now 7 1/2 monthes and being on solids has helped alot. We tried to get her on normal formula but she threw up everywhere again! So we will be on allimentum until the end. Good luck to all!posted 10/01/2008 by LisaB09
My 7 month old son has had severe reflux since 2 weeks old. He has been on Previcid and Similac Alimentum since 5 weeks of age. The Previcid is very helpful with eliminating the burning acid, and I think the Alimentum has been helpful. We use Playtex wide nipple nursers with drop in liners (we tried a few others, but he liked these the best and had the least amt of air bubbles - none in fact). He still vomits often, but it is not painful for him (just very annoying and messy!). We have his schedule so he rarely eats right before a nap or bedtime. He eats at least an hour before napping, which allows time for the tummy to empty a little. He does, however, spit up each morning after his early morning bottle because he goes back to sleep for about an hour each morning after this bottle.posted 03/02/2008 by spravetz
We had to use Enfamil's Pregestimil (sp?) and thicken it with rice cereal. However, between the meds and the rice cereal, there was constipation, so we also ended up giving our baby prune juice. I guess the best thing is to consult with the doctor because one fix seems to lead to other things that need fixing.posted 02/20/2008 by wwmnw1203

If you read, write, or think about healthy food choice stories or healthy exercise possibilities for kids, you may enjoy reading those stories to preschoolers to help them write their own stories eventually. More women and some men are reading to their preschool children in their curiosity and caring about brain health. Reading to preschoolers also helps them to develop more creativity with words and pictures because it becomes a familiar experience to them and to you, the writer of preschool books or educational materials for young children.
Can reading to preschool kids lead to the children becoming talented writers, communicators, speakers, or designers? You might have children draw first before they learn to write because the drawing can help the development of writing. There's also a curiosity about how much each state has progressed, for example, in taking measures for improvement such as reading to your pre-school child for years before the child enters kindergarten and begins to learn more about how to read.
Kids who were read to as preschoolers often get involved in contemplating the stories, enjoying them, and possibly writing their own creative works. You might also be interested in reading to your child, other children in a library, community center, camp, or classroom setting. Or your older child may enjoy reading humorous adventure outerspace-astronaut and their cats novels such as Astronauts and their Cats. Some women keep tabs on brain health by each state as part of health education.
America's Brain Health Index is part of a national health education campaign, Beautiful Minds: Finding Your Lifelong Potential. The campaign is designed to empower Americans to develop and maintain healthy, beautiful minds
See how each state has progressed, held its own or lost ground in taking measures to improve brain health over the past two years. See the site: Study: Iowa ranks low in brain health | TheGazette. People in Maryland and Washington, DC have the healthiest brains. See the site from the Washingtonian blog, Maryland, DC Have the Healthiest Brains in the US - Well+Being. The map is from the site, America's Brain Health Index. Thanks to their high consumption of docosahexaenoic acid-rich foods (DHA), notes the site, people in Maryland and DC have healthy brains.
Also see the site: The Best States for Your Brain - Healthy Living Center. Where does your state rank as far as brain health? Also check out the site, Howard Behavioral Health Network of Care. There's actually a campaign that was unveiled this year, in 2011 regarding America's Brain Health Index, a state-by-state ranking of brain health that delivers data on how well brains are working. See, Brain Health Critical as Americans Live Longer | Alternative Medicine.
Check out America's 2011 Brain Health Index. America's Brain Health Index is a state-by-state measure of the nation's brain health. See the website, America's Brain Health Index. Maryland has the highest brain health ranking. California doesn't rank too high. As America gets older, brain health -- that barometer of how just how fit our brains remain as we age -- has been measured for the sake of looking at health nationwide.
In September 2011, nutritional product company Life's DHA and the National Center for Creative Aging released the Brain Health Index, a ranking of American states (including the District of Columbia) by brain health. See "Brain Health Across the Country."
If a city-by-city index were taken instead of a state brain health index, do you think Sacramento would have excellent brain health or need improvement? You can check out California's brain health index at: The Best States for Your Brain.
California is not on the top ten listed. The index is evaluated the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia based on 21 factors including diet, physical health, mental health and social well-being. See how each state has progressed, held its own or lost ground in taking measures to improve brain health over the past two years.
The state-by-state ranking of brain health offers data. You can check out the site, Brain Health Index Healthiest States | Healthy State Rankings. Or take a look at the site, "2014 Research Symposium | Center for BrainHealth."
What are the 10 top states for brain health? Check out the site. For example, in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Washington State, the data ranks these states high in good brain health. Maybe it's time for not only brain health but to look into 'brane' health as well as in 'membrane,' considering the state of overall physical health. If you're a writer, you may enjoy reading to preschool kids, including the stories you write.

Townhome group seeks control over Carleton Drive

A Wilmington townhome community wants the city to declare a street private to give it greater control over parking.
The development is Carleton Place, which is off of College Acres Drive near the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Carleton Place is accessible via Carleton Drive, a short street that starts on College Acres Drive and dead-ends at the end of the development.
The Carleton Place Townhomes Association wants the city to designate a 1,500-foot portion of Carleton Drive as a private street so the association can manage on-street parking, according to city documents. Specifically, the association wants to limit non-residents from parking on Carleton Drive.
On Wednesday, the request appeared before the city's Planning Commission. The commission makes recommendations to the city council, which would have the final authority on whether the street is designated as private.
Carleton Drive has been dedicated as a public street, said Ron Satterfield, the city's assistant planning director. Although the street was publicly dedicated when it was built, the city currently maintains about 400 feet at the beginning of the street, Satterfield said. The rest of the street was never formally accepted by the city, he said.
Meanwhile, the townhome association wants to designate Carleton Drive as private starting at the association's property line, he said.
City planners recommended Carleton Place's request be denied for several reasons, including the city's desire for street interconnectivity. But on Wednesday, the council-appointed planning commission voted unanimously to recommend the approval of Carleton Place's request.
Matthew Davis, a Wilmington attorney representing Carleton Place, said UNCW students park at the front portion of Carleton Drive, where the association cannot control the parking. Davis said the association controls parking on about 1,100 feet of the road by administering parking permits and using private security and wreckers to enforce compliance.
Several residents spoke in favor of the change in a public hearing and no one spoke against it.
Satterfield said the matter will appear before the city council on Oct. 1.

A Goodwill grenade is what the Winston-Salem Police Department had to contend with this week after someone apparently donated it to Goodwill. Inside the Goodwill collection box an employee of Goodwill found a grenade and authorities deemed it live and dangerous, according to The Inquisitr on Jan. 24.
The Hazardous Device Unit for the Winston-Salem Police Department was dispatched to 528 Waughtown Street to the secondhand store after the call came in. The Goodwill employee who called the police found the grenade inside the store, but it had come in with the items from a collection box.
The special unit from the police department found that the grenade was indeed live and very dangerous. They were able to get it out of the store safely. The investigation is underway trying to find out who put the grenade in the collection box.
Stories of odd finds have come out of Goodwill stores across the country in past years. This is not the first grenade found in a Goodwill collection box. Another one was found back in 2010 at another North Carolina Good will store, but the previous grenade was not live, it was an empty shell of a grenade.

It's better late than never, and the launch of Electronic Arts' and Respawn Entertainment's highly touted first-person shooter Titanfall on the Xbox 360 certainly has pushed product. According to a report today from GameSpot, the game's launch on the Microsoft platform boosted sales of Titanfall in the United Kingdom region by 220 percent.
The Xbox 360 version of Titanfall launched last week after delays pushed the game nearly a month past the Xbox One and PC releases. EA delayed the game for the platform in order for its developer, Bluepoint Games, to further tweak and polish.
According to the report, UK game charts indicate that Titanfall for the Xbox 360 garnered 71 percent of total sales for the game with 27 percent on the Xbox One and just 1 percent from PC.
Microsoft corporate vice president Phil Harrison called Titanfall a boon for the Xbox platforms in March, according to a report from VG 24/7. In an interview with VentureBeat, Harrison said the game was "blowing the doors off."
The remarks follow those of Microsoft chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi, who according to a previous GameSpot report called Titanfall a "game changer." Mehdi said the launch of the game on the Xbox One was vitally important, that it would help move units of the next-gen console.
Another Microsoft, Xbox One featured title, Kinect Sports: Rivals, did have middling results in the region, however. According to the report, the game, which released last week, ranked 14 on the game sales charts.
