Dracula Resurrection
I think it´s the videocart, but am not sure. The game runs, but it "jumps" forward under cutscenes and dialogs, so i only hear half of the dialog. Any idea what i can do?
Were you playing on a laptop by any chance? At any rate, if your video card is nVidia, try this:
Open nVidia control panel, manage 3D settings, select the game from the list, choose the discrete graphics card as the preferred processor, and apply. Some people with this problem has found that the game utilized onboard graphics instead of using the card and the above method solved the problem for them.
denizsi - I have ATI Mobility Radeon and that videocart does not have the settings you mention in your post. I am playing on a lap top, with Windows 7 - Help?
Its an openAl issue
1. Download openAL (http://openal.updatestar.com/en)
2. Install OpenAL. It will copy the newest version of OpenAL32.dll to your Windows\System32 directory.
3. rename the OpenAL32.dll in your game's directory to something different (for example _OpenAL32.dll.bak)
4. copy the OpenAL32.dll from your Windows\system32 directory into your game's folder.
I´m a total noob, so I need some more guidiance
1. I have openAL installed, so I skip steep 2 and then what?
2. Where do I find the games directory
... and thx
1. Install openAl again, your files might be damaged/outdated.
2. The game directory is the folder where you installed the game.
hmm the OpenAL is installed in Windows/sydyem32 directory, but it does not appear in the games directory, so i can´t rename it... what do I do?
Here is an idea: install Combined Community Codec Pack, if you don't have it installed already. Then open FFShow settings (to do so, open any video that runs FFDShow which shows up in task bar, then click on blue "FFa" icon in taskbar), click on "DirectShow control" on the left pane, click "Use ffdshow only in", click on edit next to it (second one from top), click on "Add" and select the game exe through the oop-up browser.
Try running the game after that.
Arggg that didn´t help either. I have bought both Dracula games. Nr2 is working fine, but i hate having to play it before nr. 1 ;-)
So please somebody HELP me.
Have you tried redownloading and reinstalling your game? The only other thing I can think about is reinstalling your drivers.
I have redownloaded and reinstalled the game, that didn´t solve the problem. I don´t see the idea of reinstalling my drivers, cause everything else works on my computer, just not this game. So will you please give me a reason for doing that.
And thx btw for the patience from all who has given this a go ;-)
This may be stupid but have you tried running the game "as Administrator" and with compatibility modes?
Right click, properties, then the compatibility tab. You will see run as admin there and also compatibility mode (try XP 2 and also vita and the other xps)
It is worth noting that this problem seems to occur the most on laptops so I'm guessing it must have something to do with either the GPU or the sound if not both and possibly some sort of third party utility to resolve it without installing new drivers entirely but I'm just not finding it so far.
There were some third party ATI utilities to have more precise control over your ATI card. May have to check on those.
have tried your suggestions - none of it worked.
Nice to know I'm not the only one ;-) I am not a tech person, so i have no notion of what to do in regards to managing third party utilities.
My soundcard:
Digital/analog 7.1-channel S/PDIF output
The SRS Premium Sound™-certified audio performance, and built-in digital/analog 7.1-channel S/PDIF output ensure you get an utterly captivating aural experience
I'm on the brink of giving up on this game- do you know if its possible to get refunds or is it just bad luck for me?
Interestingly, I found this page where it's said that some old games, including Dracula Resurrection have problems running on machines with Hyperthreading and there are three solutions towards the bottom of the page. Try them in reverse order (try 3 first, then 2, then 1):
Hopefully, one of these will work. Make sure you understand and apply the methods correctly, though.
And finally, if none of the works just the same, give Intel driver updates a try:
As stated earlier my drivers are up to date. I have looked at your link, and I do not have a Hyperthreading on my computer. I have tried to do the manual advise on the site, and its running the game with CPU0 as standard. And the game is still not working :-(
I don´t understand rajandeep123s answer: "if you have already seen the keys than you can't get a refund", I haven´t been able to play the game, so what is: seen the keys?
I am almost at the point, where i am going to mark this as solved. I dont know how the system works regarding WHO gets the bluecoins, but i think that both rajandeep123 and denizsi deserves bluecoins.
What I meant was if you have already pressed on the button (see activation/serial keys) then you can't get refund with no questions asked. If you still want to keep trying then you can open a ticket at GG support. I am sorry I wasn't of much help.
Hi. Thx for all the help and support. Even though none of it helped, I am greatful for the time you spent trying to solve my problem. I will try the support.

We offer three Programs:
The Estonian Kindergarten offers two streams -- Estonian Immersion for beginners in Estonian and Estonian Enrichment for Estonian-speakers.
The curriculum for all children includes:
We make an effort to bring children in the two streams together frequently in appropriate activities such as dancing and music, class visits and games, to allow children of the same age group to get to know each other and develop a sense of community, regardless of Estonian language skills.
The curriculum for the Estonian Kindergarten has been set up in the form of theme units. Activities for each day are centered around the theme or sub-theme. The length of each theme unit depends upon the variety of sub-themes the teacher wishes to cover and/or the interest shown by the class for a particular theme. We try to set up our program in a "child-centered" learning environment, using "hands-on" learning at activity centers, keeping in mind that a child will learn a subject better if it is introduced to them through their senses.
The main theme units are:
Estonian content and materials are introduced in these themes whenever possible and appropriate. For example, there are various opportunities for drawing out comparisons between Canadian and Estonian customs, traditions, culture, language, or climate, as well as many other subjects.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Does Lisa Nicole Cloud have breast cancer? Lisa Nicole Cloud left Married to Medicine fans last week guessing if she has breast cancer. And while BravoTV.com is usually an extension for stars like Lisa Nicole Cloud to empower viewers about issues in the show, Lisa Nicole is now under fire herself. Cloud in her latest BravoTv.com post got a mere six comments from disinterested viewers. But viewers had one overriding remark for Lisa Nicole, namely why spend so much time insulting Mariah Huq and so little time talking about her own storyline.
Lisa Nicole Cloud devotes a mere two paragraphs of a four page BravoTv.com post about breast cancer, her storyline, this week. The remainder of all those pages is devoting to going after Mariah Huq. Lisa writes "In closing, I want to comment on the scene with Darren and I. Watching this scene I am reminded how important it is to keep things in perspective. Our priority in our family is God, family, and then career. I thank God for my husband. He is probably one of the only people who understands what to say to slow me down. He is the head of our family and when he talks, as much as I try to fight it, I LISTEN! I do want to be here for my children and my husband. "

She adds "This week I shared a very personal journey with you. I chose to share this journey because I want to empower and inspire women to be diligent in their monthly breast exams. Early detection is KEY! Cancer does not discriminate and it shows its ugly head when you least expect it. Do me a favor if you are woman reading this blog, give yourself your monthly breast exam TODAY!"Those comments were the full extent of Lisa Nicole Cloud's remarks about breast cancer. The remainder was devoted to going after Mariah Huq. But why?

Fans were furious. "Way to go on the attack on Mariah. There must be more to your relationship with her, because I haven't seen both of you together on the show, yet, you have been negative towards her on every one of your blogs. I am not a fan of Mariah, but her issues with Quad are not yours to fight", wrote one viewer.
Another remarked "you would think that you would spend more time with uplifting women and educating us on breast cancer and the importance of exams and such. With such a difficult topic, you decide to talk c–p about Mariah?" In the end, fans were left remarking "You seem desperate to start drama. I hope this is your last season."

An analysis of what is most significant for a woman's sexual satisfaction is often very perplexing. Researchers have found that relationship satisfaction for a woman is linked with changing use of contraception reported the Association for Psychological Science on May 14, 2014. Research from the University of Stirling has showed changes in hormonal contraceptive use may influence a woman's sexual satisfaction in long-term heterosexual relationships.
This study was done by researchers from the universities of Stirling, Glasgow, Newcastle, Northumbria and Charles University in Prague. The researchers studied 365 couples and investigated how satisfaction levels dealing with both sexual and non-sexual aspects of long-term relationships were influenced by women's current and previous use of hormonal contraception. Lead researcher Craig Roberts from Stirling's Division of Psychology said the findings showed women who had met their partner while they were taking the pill and were still currently taking it and those women who had never used the pill reported greater sexual satisfaction than those women who had begun or ceased using the pill during the course of the relationship.
What this showed was the congruence of women's pill use during the course of the relationship had a more significant influence on sexual satisfaction levels than either just being on the pill or not being on the pill. The researchers observed there was no difference in the non-sexual aspects of relationship satisfaction between the two groups of women. Furthermore, a women's history of pill use was also found not to make a difference to their male partners' relationship satisfaction in both sexual and non-sexual contexts.
Roberts says the pill has been a tremendously positive social force by empowering women and giving them much greater control over their lives. However, there has also been a lot of controversy dealing with the question of whether hormonal contraceptives alter women's libido and sexual satisfaction. What appears to be significant is whether a woman's current use of the pill matches her use when she began the relationship with her partner.
This study has been published in the journal Psychological Science. It has been observed that hormonal fluctuation across the menstrual cycle can explain temporal variations in women's judgment in regard to the attractiveness of men. Therefore, use of hormonal contraceptives could influence both initial choice of a partner and, if contraceptive use subsequently changes, the dynamics of a couple.
It has been concluded the associations which are found between hormonal contraceptive use and relationship satisfaction may therefore be best understood with a consideration of whether current pill use is congruent with use when relationships formed, instead of by considering current use alone. This research supports the congruency hypothesis which suggests a women's sexual satisfaction is influenced by changes in partner preference which is associated with changes in hormonal contraceptive use. We are therefore discovering that sexual attraction and love often appear to have a scientific explanation.

Define $\kappa(u, v)$ as the minimum vertex cut for u and v, $\lambda(u, v)$ as the minimum edge cut for u and v
Let $u$ and $v$ be nonadjacent vertices of a connected graph $G$. Prove or disprove the following: Every set of $\kappa(u, v)$ internally disjoint $u - v$ paths in $G$ is contained in a set of $\lambda(u, v)$ edge-disjoint $u - v$ paths.
I'm working through the questions of applied and algorithmic graph theory, this is one of the questions in the networks chapter
I think the answer is true, but spent a lot of time on this and can't figure out how to prove it
[EDIT] Found a counter-example let the graph be the set of edges {(u,a),(a,b),(b,c),(c,v),(u,b),(a,c),(c,d),(d,v)} then $\kappa(u,v)=1$, $\lambda(u,v)=2$ and let the set of internally disjoint paths be {(u,a,b,c,v)}

College Hockey:Apparent Gaffe Aids In Michigan Victory
NMU Goal Waved Off In 3-1 Decision
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — ANN ARBOR, Mich. —
Score a goal and the referee taketh away.
Northern Michigan found out the hard way Friday night, as officials pilfered one of its first-period goals. The tally could have built the surging momentum for the Wildcats, but instead, the fifth-ranked Wolverines controlled the scoreboard in a 3-1 victory.
"We we're lucky that they didn't score that goal," said Michigan coach Red Berenson, who in his 700th career game earned a much-needed home victory.
The referees didn't get going until after the first goal. Michigan sophomore Mark Mink swooped around the Northern Michigan net near the boards, and swept a shot to the side of Dan Ragusett that trickled into the net for a 1-0 Michigan lead.
About one minute later, the Wildcats appeared to respond with a tally themselves. But referee Marc Wilkins called the tying goal off, saying that Northern Michigan senior Ryan Riipi was in the crease.
Wildcats' assistant coach Dave Shyiak said that a Northern Michigan official saw the replay of the goal and said Riipi wasn't at fault.
"It should have been a goal," Shyiak said. "[Riipi] came out of the crease."
Shyiak said that Wilkins told the Northern Michigan bench he was "99 percent sure" that Riipi failed to get out of the crease. But even Michigan goaltender Josh Blackburn didn't see Riipi.
"He wasn't on me," Blackburn said. "I didn't [see him]. I didn't know why it was called off."
The goal would have tied the game at one, but Chad Theuer decided to make sure of it. The junior forward scored on a rebound of Bryce Cockburn's shot two minutes later.
That means the score could have been 2-1 NMU. And Theuer, a few minutes later, had a chance to score another.
"It was a shot to the face," Theuer said of the missed opportunities.
"He went in all alone and hit the post," Shyiak said. "A couple breaks and it could have been a 3-1 game at that point."
But instead, the score remained 1-1 and Michigan added a faceoff goal before the period was over. Andy Hilbert took the pass off Mike Cammalleri's faceoff win and blasted it past Ragusett for a 2-1 Wolverines' lead.
Michigan's Mark Kosick added a power-play tally in the second period off a nice centering pass from John Shouneyia.
"We were fortunate to get the faceoff goal and the power-play goal," Berenson said.
Michigan was more than fortunate to have a significant portion of the third period on the power play, as the Wolverines enjoyed consecutive two-man advantages.
Michigan didn't score on the chances, but, significantly, put the brakes on a possible Northern Michigan comeback.
The two-man kills "kind of took us out of it," Shyiak said. "It tires your best players out."
Regardless of what the penalty kill did to Northern Michigan lines, Blackburn finished them off. The Michigan goaltender continued his strong play of late, stopping 26 of 27 shots. Ragusett halted 28 of 31.
Both teams failed to improve their playoff possibilities, however. Michigan didn't pick up any ground on Michigan State, which beat Alaska-Fairbanks, and remains three points behind. The Wildcats remained stuck in seventh place, a point behind Western Michigan.

Softball to Open Season This Weekend in Jacksonville
The 2013 season will dawn Friday for the Princeton softball team with its opening tournament at North Florida in Jacksonville.
All three opponents - Delaware State, North Florida and St. Bonaventure - are first-time foes for the Tigers. Princeton will face St. Bonaventure at 10 a.m. Friday, North Florida at 3 p.m. Friday, and Delaware State at 10 a.m. Saturday with teams then seeded into a semifinal later Saturday with a championship or consolation game Sunday.
North Florida has a Tournament Central page with information on all four teams and live stats for all games here.
The Tigers graduated their two top hitters from a year ago in Kelsey VandeBergh (.326) and Nicole Ontiveros (.289), but return the rest of the roster including all three pitchers from last season. Seniors Alex Peyton (6-14, 3.24) and Liza Kuhn (6-13, 3.69) threw most of the innings a year ago, with sophomore Meredith Brown (2-5, 3.77) also seeing time. Six freshmen join the team this season to make the 19-player roster.
The weekend will also be a homecoming for Princeton sophomore Libby Crowe, from St. Johns, Fla., just south of Jacksonville.
St. Bonaventure (1-12) has already played three weekends, competing in tournaments at Campbell in Tennessee, at Cleveland State and at Florida Gulf Coast. The Bonnies' win was a 7-2 victory over Cleveland State on Feb. 17, but the last five outcomes have been defeats. SBU has two hitters above .300 on the season in Jessenia Andujar (.333) and Emily McDonough (.317), while Kate Sinclair (.214) has popped three of the team's five home runs. Four pitchers have seen time already this season, with Julia Pratt (0-5, 7.23) logging a team-high 37 1/3 innings.
North Florida (14-4) is a winner of six in a row, and all the Ospreys' games have taken place in Florida or Alabama over the three weekends so far. Four Osprey hitters are above .300, with Mariah Reynolds leading the team at .432 and tied for the team lead with two home runs. Three pitchers have split time, with Kaylie Wallace (6-1, 0.81) and Kayla Goff (5-3, 1.83) as the main arms.
Delaware State (0-3) is closer to the Tigers in on-field playing experience so far this season, having had their first games last Sunday and Monday in Norfolk, Va., against Fairleigh Dickinson (two defeats) and Monmouth. In the early-going, the Hornets have two batters above .300, and both are well above that mark at .425 with Jessica Madrid and Kelsey Doherty. Doherty has the team's lone home run. Three pitchers have split the innings, with Stephanie Sarris (0-2, 7.36) putting in a team-high 7 1/3 frames.
Following the North Florida tournament, Princeton will spend the rest of its pre-conference schedule in the Mid-Atlantic before opening the conference slate March 30 at '95 Field against Brown.

The Meridia weight loss pill is a prescription diet drug
designed to combat obesity. To date, prescriptions for Meridia
weight loss pill have topped 9 million, even though clinical
tests have shown that individuals using the Meridia weight
loss pill only tend to lose 7-11 pounds more than those who
simply diet.
In 1997, the Meridia weight loss pill was approved by the
FDA, against the recommendations of an FDA review board, who
claimed Meridia weight loss pills had side effects that outweighed
their relatively limited benefits. The side effects of Meridia
weight loss pills include dry mouth and insomnia, but the
FDA doctor who researched the Meridia weight loss pill was
most concerned about the frequent appearance of hypertension
and arrhythmia. Because the people taking Meridia weight loss
pills are already at risk for heart trouble linked to obesity,
these are not worthwhile risks in many doctors' opinions.
Meridia weight loss pills entered the market in 1998, and
have since been linked to 29 deaths and 397 reports of serious
side effects. Because Meridia weight loss pill incidents are
voluntarily reported, the actual statistics are assumed to
be much higher.
The Meridia weight loss pill is classified as a Schedule
IV Controlled Substance, meaning that individuals can become
addicted to Meridia weight loss pills. After two deaths related
to the drug, Italy has suspended all sales of the Meridia
weight loss pill, and England and France are both reviewing
hundreds of reports of side effects. A recall of Meridia weight
loss pills has been demanded by Public Citizen, an American
consumer group, who petitioned the FDA in March of 2002.
Meridia weight loss pills have been linked to serious, life-threatening
side effects. If you or a loved one takes Meridia weight loss
pills, consult a physician for advice. You may be at risk
for serious illness or death. If Meridia weight loss pills
have caused any health issues for you, you may wish to seek
legal representation. An attorney familiar with Meridia weight
loss pills and their side effects can help you determine the
best course of action for you to take.
you would like to speak to an expert Meridian diet drug attorney,
contact us.
Meridia Resource provides you with Meridia information and
puts you in contact with a Meridia lawyer. To contact an Meridia
lawyer please click
here to receive your free consultation.
The FDA is currently reviewing
the safety implications that have been associated with Meridia
in response to Public Citizens petition. Public Citizen
has petitioned for the removal of four other FDA approved
drugs since 1996 and three of the drugs ended up being banned
and one severely restricted.

Jo Baeza is sitting at a long table in the St. John's library in St. John's, Arizona. If this state could have historical and journalistic royalty it would be her. A few minutes ago she walked into the room that was reserved for the authors to meet the readers and buyers in this farming and horse lover's town. The best thing about being here for her is talking to people and the authors with their own stories.
Baeza is diminutive and clear eyed: A source of great information, as I overhear her say to someone that whenever there was conflict in this state it was due to water. She has horses and two grown step-children; she says many times how much she loves children…and horses…and her freedom. "Freedom is more important than being loved," she says.
Her thoughts were similar back in the 1960's when she loved the children of Joe Brown and married him and raised them. "They didn't have a mama in Mexico," she says, and as she goes back in time and moments on this windy cold day in St. John's, her love of her own life is revisited.
"A defining moment for me was when I became a Catholic in 1981 and made a decision to remain single. I do really well by myself. I've accomplished a lot in 30-years," she says.
Baeza graduated with a B.A. from Stanford University as an English literature major and went to the University of Nottingham in England for a year. She still talks to the family she lived with when she was a student. She says she is not an academic and getting through school wasn't the easiest thing for her.
On this table are two of her books: "Eagles at Noon," a collection of her poems over the past 35 years and "Arizona: the Making of a State." She uses a cane to circulate around the room talking to the other writers disappearing from her table as her pull is to listen and learn and know about others: A historian, who admittedly enjoys the company of American Indians, and Mexicans. She walks back to her table and I place a chair next to her as I know this is a moment that will not come around again. Seize the opportunity, I think. And so for awhile I was the listener and clung to her gestures, soft words, honest woman-to-woman sharing that she says she is comfortable with. I am moved by her enthusiasm to be open with me.
"I wake up happy," she says. Her life has been a series of gains and losses with family and loved ones, but all the while she wrote. When her step children were small she wrote the "Ranch Wife," under the name Jo Jeffers. Over the years of marriages and growth as a historian her jobs as teacher and journalist have sustained her love of her horses. She was a well established reporter for the White Mountain Independent in Show Low for almost two decades.
This week her name was the lead author in the flyer that announced the Apache County Authors book signing event. Who hasn't heard of her and when I mention it she is unfazed. Again, like any good story, she is here to absorb and learn about "us."
Her heritage is mixed and was the only child of an intact family. Almost immediately she tells me her age, "I will be 83 on Monday," and her medical diagnosis of scleroderma that led to a recent surgery on her hand. Her hand is bandaged and she hasn't been able to use it for three months. I am eager to hear about her travels and I keep staring at the woman in front of me who gave punctuation marks to the history of Arizona.
Her life began in Minnesota. One day, when she was 18-years-old and traveling across Arizona in 1949 with her parents, they stopped in Holbrook to get gas for the car. She said she went into the restroom and when she came out her father had bought the gas station. She never left Arizona after that day.
As I listen I keep thinking that she is part of the stories because she didn't let them die. And although she didn't create the stories she fortified the life of Arizona, including the battles and the details of the surrounding states, because she recorded the history.
I think about her while she is talking and how we chat like old friends excited to get caught up. At times she speaks in a lower tone --- when the private part of her life comes up I tap the page and say… "Okay for this?"… she says "yes" or "no." Her generally private stories tell me where her voice to write came from, and where the motivation for choosing her life's work and other material she wrote about … and why she chose the topics she has. "I love writing because you can never be good enough…you have to keep at it," she says. I am listening to the history of the historian of Arizona. My focus can't leave her face, I write quickly almost envious of my own eyes that observe more than my pen can keep up with. There is little filtering between us … reporters of history and creators of a new past that will begin as soon as we both leave this room … two women writers, talking and sharing.
The table where she sat and I took the liberty of sitting by her is getting folded and placed back onto a dolly. The chairs are collapsed and the book lovers are still going in and out of the library, like a store for the family on the weekend. The kids walk past greatness; the doors open and close and Baeza is on her way to the next adventure in her life. Then she slips off into the rainy Saturday afternoon with her books, knowledge and independence.
After I left, and drove home, the wind had a revitalized mood. The elements that led Baeza to this event will be around for a long time. The Juniper bushes will send allergens into the next generation and Baeza's writings will be rooted in time and history.
On a highway of her own, journalist and historian, Jo Baeza keeps driving.

Hannah De Gaetano's first home run of the season lifted LBSU past Houston in game one.
March 7, 2014
Box Score (Houston) | Box Score (San Jose State)
Fullerton, Calif. - Long Beach State Softball extended its winning streak to eight straight games, defeating Houston 7-5 before taking down San Jose State 3-1 in a pair of games Saturday at the Judi Garman Classic.
In game one, the 49ers were able to hold off a late charge from the Cougars to take a 7-5 win.
Long Beach State opened up a big lead in the second inning with a four-run frame. Karli Sandoval drew a leadoff walk to get LBSU started, and Ashlyn Booker continued her hot hitting with a single to put two runners on. After a fielder's choice, Sarah Carrasco singled to bring home a run. Two straight walks from Diedre Outon brought home a run while keeping the bases loaded. An error on an attempt to double up the 49ers after another out scored two more runs to put the 49ers in front 4-0.
A solo home run by Darian Tautalafua put the 49ers in front 5-0, and while Houston scored a pair in the bottom of the fifth, Long Beach State opened up another five-run lead on a two-run shot by Hannah De Gaetano.
A three-run home run by Jaime Edwards threatened the win, but Amanda Hansen was able to collect herself and pick up the final out to get the complete game win for Long Beach State.
Shayna Kimbrough doubled to kick off the first inning of the San Jose State game, as Long Beach State (15-6) scored an early run. Cya Neal pushed Kimbrough to third base, and De Gaetano lifted a fly to left to easily score the junior.
Kimbrough started another rally for Long Beach State in the third inning, singling with one out. Neal followed with another single, and after a pop from De Gaetano dropped in, an error from San Jose State's Devin Caldwell trying to catch Kimbrough at third allowed the junior to score. Neal would then come home on a wild pitch.
Erin Jones-Wesley was dominant through the first five innings, but allowed a run in the bottom of the sixth, and the Spartans threatened once more in the bottom of the seventh after a one-out single from Caldwell. Jones-Wesley captured a key strikeout, her sixth of the game, catching Kryn Masutani looking, and after a walk and an error put two in scoring position, the senior was able to get Erin Rodriguez to pop up with the bases loaded following an intentional pass to end the game.
Long Beach State will play two more games at the Judi Garman Classic this weekend, continuing Saturday as the 49ers play Wisconsin at 3 p.m.

Rulemaking is the single most important function performed by government agencies. While Congress and the president provide the general framework for the government's mission, rulemaking fills in the details that define the law and delineate how each agency carries out its responsibilities. Cornelius Kerwin, and new co-author Scott Furlong, update this highly regarded text with new data, fresh analysis of interest groups' participation in rulemaking, as well as coverage of the Obama administration's early actions, from executive orders and key personnel to agencies' responses to changes. An invaluable and accessible guide to this intensely political process, Rulemaking contains the most current scholarship on a crucial yet understudied subject.

What is Kickstarter? and How Does It Work?
Okay some have asked us about Kickstarter and what it is and how it works. First let me say this: Kickstarter is an all or nothing platform.
Wikipedia defines Kickstarter as: Kickstarter is an online threshold pledge system for funding creative projects. Kickstarter has funded a diverse array of endeavors, ranging from indie film and music to journalism and food-related projects.
let me add to that and say, if you pledge a certain amount, your debit and or credit card WILL NOT BE CHARGED UNTIL THE LAST DAY OF THE CAMPAIGN AND ONLY IF THE CAMPAIGN REACHES THE GOAL SET BY THE PERSON WHO CREATED IT. So, if someone pledges let's say $100.00 USD and the campaign goal is $1,000.00 USD. If at the end of the campaign the person does not successfully find enough people to make $1,000.00 then no one is out any money and the person who created the campaign does not get anything. If the campaign does succeed in getting enough people to make it to the $1,000.00 USD, then your credit or debit card will be charged for the amount of your pledge. So if you pledged $100.00 USD and the campaign is running for 30 days, then at the end of the 30 days, if the campaign reached its goal, your card will then be charged.
Is it safe to donate on kickstarter?
Yes it is dafe. Amzzon.com, which is probably the largest online retailer in the universe takes care of all donations for kickstarter, so if you already use Amazon.com for buying books and other stuff then you are all good to go! If not, you can easily create an account at amazon.com
What are the rewards and incentives?
These are things offered by the person who is running the campaign in order to reward those who donate. Sort of like when you donate blood you get a cookie and a t-shirt, maybe even a coffee mug. Rewards can be almost anything.
How do I know the funds will be used for their intended purpose?
Well you really need to do some research before you start donating. My advice is to look at the campaign, the people running it and also look to see what all they are doing. If it looks like they put in a lot of effort writing the campaign and have a well written and informative website, then go for it. Also, you can ask others who have donated. Kickstarter has a pretty good system for detecting fraud.

Superstar John Cena suffered a knee injury on WWE "Monday Night Raw" on Feb. 24, 2014, as the Wyatt Family came down to the ring for a beatdown. Many are wondering exactly what happened to Cena as he clutched his knee the whole segment, but everyone is curious if it is a legitimate problem or just a part of the whole show, according to PWTorch.
The Wyatt Family surrounded the ring as Cena was giving a promo, and they ended up jumping him, but that's when things appeared to go weird.

As the Wyatts attacked Cena, Erick Rowan grabbed Cena's left knee and everyone fell awkwardly. Cena immediately grabbed his knee and kept clutching it as the Wyatts let up on the beating a little bit, and the whole segment had strange pauses.
A picture has been passed around that Cena has a giant knot on his left knee and he was even removed from the ring on a stretcher. WWE reported that he would have an MRI soon.

The Torch reports that the entire thing is a work and that Cena is not really injured. They stated that all sources have confirmed it is not a legitimate knee injury.
This is a total set-up for their eventual match at "WrestleMania XXX." You can be sure that this is going to play in the storyline up until their match.

Duma Passes Bill Allowing House Arrest
- The Moscow Times
- Dec. 17 2009 00:00
Police will be able to place suspects under house arrest rather than in a detention center under a bill that cleared the State Duma in a third and final reading Wednesday.
The bill, which aims to reduce notorious overcrowding in the prison system, would allow suspects implicated in minor offenses to be placed under house arrest for two to four months.
Courts would also be allowed to order defendants to serve time at home as part of their sentences under the bill. The new probation period could be tacked onto prison sentences and amount to six months to two years.
People under house arrest would not be able to leave their homes at certain hours, leave their hometown, attend or participate in mass public events, or change residence, workplace or school without special permission from an oversight body. They would also be required to check in regularly with the authorities.
Earlier this year, the authorities started testing electronic bracelets to control the movements of convicts on probation.
The bill now must be approved by the Federation Council before going to President Dmitry Medvedev to be signed into law.

Racing dynasties have always played a major part in motorsports, from the Andrettis and Earnhardts to the Busch's, Pettys to the Forces, and so forth. Now it looks as though Jeff Gordon's daughter, 6-year old Ella Sofia may one day join the mix after she was seen taking her first lap turns behind the wheel of a quarter midget kart April 20th.
Although Jeff Gordon, himself, began his racing career as a 5-year-old, eventually progressing through the open-wheel ranks in USAC, and then making his NASCAR debut at 19-years old in 1990," he admitted to being plenty nervous as he watched her.
"It terrified me," he admitted. "From a parent's standpoint, it's kind of tough to watch them go around there and not have any control of what's going on and know that it's all on them now. It's amazing the focus they can have at such a young age, to go on and do that, but at the same time you know all the things that can go wrong and that's kind of scary."
Still, he isn't sure whether she has actually gotten the "racing bug" as yet, or was merely copying what her dad does.
"Honestly I think the only reason she's interested in it is because I'm her dad and she just wants to please me and wants to do something that I do, "he noted. "However, that's not all bad. It can be good as well. She's around it so much that it's hard for her not to be influenced by it and we don't want to keep her away from it if she wants to race."
For now Gordon and his wife, Ingrid, are willingly to let Ella Sofia set her own pace of interest in racing, the same they will do if and when their 3-year son old Leo decides he wants to "get behind the wheel" as well. They also stated that they are well aware of the types of pressure their kids could face on the track with having a 4-time champion father who now has 89 career NASCAR Sprint series wins.

Camuy River Cave Park
Rail leading out of caves © Jippolito
Children will feel like they are in an Indiana Jones movie when they visit the magnificent Parque de las Cavernas del Río Camuy (Camuy River Cave Park), a large network of natural limestone caves and waterways which can be explored by trolley. The caverns and underground tunnels were created over a million years ago by the tropical Río Camuy (Camuy River), which is the world's third-longest underground river and is home to a unique species of fish that is totally blind.
Only three crater-like sink holes and two caves are open to the public, which are reached by a guided trolley that descends into a sinkhole lined with dense tropical vegetation. Kids will love the spacious grounds of the park, which include a cafeteria, picnic area, gift shop, walking trails, exhibition hall, and theatre. One of the country's most talked-about tourist attractions, the Camuy River Cave Park is an excellent addition to any Puerto Rico holiday itinerary. Visitors should note that it is best to go early in the day, as the park closes once its 1,500-person capacity is reached.
Address: Arecibo
Telephone: (787) 898 3100
Opening times: Open Wednesday to Sunday 8:30am-4pm. Last tour departs at 3:30pm.

Pharmaceutical company AbbVie builds on 125 years of history
It's been a busy year for AbbVie.
At just nine-months-old, it may be surprising to learn the pharmaceutical company has more than 20,000 employees working worldwide to provide products for more than 170 countries - but AbbVie is not exactly a fledgling business.
Despite officially beginning trading in January, the firm has 125 years of history behind it after it was formed following the decision to split the well-respected Abbott Laboratories into two companies with distinct focuses.
Abbott has continued to be based around medical products, but AbbVie is focused on research-based biopharmaceuticals, building on a legacy of advancing science and helping to treat complex diseases.
Despite being a global company with offices around the world, Maidenhead is central to the operations of both businesses.
Abbott has had a UK base in Maidenhead since 1987 and, following the separation announcement, AbbVie took the decision to remain at the company's offices in the Vanwall Business Park, sharing some resources.
AbbVie director of communications, Gwenan White, explained the UK plays a 'vital role' in pharmaceutical research, with the company employing about 400 people in the country, many of whom are based in Maidenhead.
The firm works closely with the NHS, and many employees based in the UK have international and global roles in the industry.
Despite its close links with Abbott, AbbVie is keen to branch out and create its own identity.
Gwenan said the split had allowed the company to become more focused on its goals and 'make decisions in a more agile way'.
"It's quite unusual to be launching or creating a new company coming off such a strong base," she added. "We are a new company and we want to work slightly differently."
The two businesses want to be independent of each other, but one legacy AbbVie wants to continue is Abbott's reputation for work in the community.
It has already created a link with Open Kitchen Foodshare, based in King Street, and is in discussions with local businesses to find ways to benefit the area.
"At a local level we think it's really important that we have that relationship with the local community," said Gwenan.

College Hockey:Brown Continues Dominance Of Vermont
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Brown continued its winning ways against Vermont Friday, getting a pair of goals from Les Haggett and 26 saves from freshman goalie Adam D'Alba in a 3-1 win over the Catamounts in ECAC Hockey League action Friday night at Meehan Auditorium.
Brown has won seven straight games against Vermont, including the last three in Providence by a combined score of 14-1. The Bears are now tied for fifth in the ECACHL with Dartmouth, which lost, 2-1, at Harvard Friday.
Brown, 12-6-3 overall and 7-5-2 in ECACHL play, jumped out to a 1-0 lead midway through the first period on a power-play goal off the stick of Haggett. Paul Baier and Haggett played the give-and-go, with Haggett receiving a return pass in the high slot before sliding a low shot through a screen and past Vermont goaltender Joe Fallon. Baier received the assist on the goal, Haggett's eighth of the season.
The Bears, 5-0-1 in their last six games, increased their lead to 2-0 midway through the second period after they had killed off a pair of 5-on-3s. Jeff Prough jumped on a rebound of a shot by Brian Ihnacak and beat Fallon to give Brown a 2-0 advantage at the 8:28 mark of the frame.
Prior to that goal, Vermont had two 5-on-3 situations but couldn't capitalize, with Brown's Adam D'Alba robbing Mike Arcieri late in the second two-man advantage.
Vermont cut into the Brown lead with an unassisted goal by junior Jeff Corey at 11:58 of the third period. Corey stole the puck behind the Brown net and single-handedly got the Catamounts back into the game with a wraparound move to the short side that surprised D'Alba. The goal was Corey's 13th this season and the 28th of his career.
"It took us a period and a half to get into the game tonight," Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon said. "You can't play college hockey like that. We didn't play our style of hockey in the first period and a half, but we have no excuses. Brown played very well and we did not."
Fallon made 22 saves for Vermont, which falls to 15-10-3 overall and 9-5-2 in the ECACHL. The Catamounts remain in fourth place in the league standings, four points ahead of Dartmouth and Brown.

Update 1/7/14: From the Lexus Project Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon.
All but 4 adult dogs have been removed as of today. The 4 that are remaining have proper, insulated kennels and all other provisions that have been inspected.
The puppies have all been moved inside and cannot go back out in the day unless it is over 32 degrees and in the evenings unless it is over 45 degrees.
All the dogs that were removed will be returned when all the provisions that were agreed upon in court are done and inspected. There will be continued inspections.
We return to court on January 21 to see where things stand and where we go from here.
Today was the emergency hearing, January 21 is the return date.
Mission accomplished.
When the temperature plummeted in upstate N.Y., advocates began to worry for the safety of dogs who are kept outside at the Flat Creek Border Collies breeding operation in Sprakers, reported Monday's International Business Times.
Despite temperatures which are well below freezing, dozens of photos have been captured of dogs who are living outside, in the snow, with only plastic barrels for shelter from the elements.
Advocates, concerned for the dogs' welfare, took to social media to raise awareness of the conditions at the breeder's property and already nearly 4,500 people have joined the Facebook page which was created just days ago.
Local authorities who visited Flat Creek Border Collies over the weekend have determined that the breeder has done nothing to violate the law; all that is technically required is food, water and shelter.
However, according to Monday's WNYT News, a judge is now involved in the situation and on Tuesday afternoon, the person who runs the breeding operation will have to appear in court to prove that the dogs are well cared for.
If State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Sise decides that the conditions at the Sprakers farm are inhumane, the dogs could be seized.
