I'm horrible at goodbyes and ironically I'm finding it incredibly difficult to put into words how I really feel about GamePolitics shutting down. It's been a tough year for us as we struggled to balance having to make a living with keeping this site alive for our readers.
Super Podcast Action Committee Episode 186 – The Finale!
In the very final episode of Super Podcast Action Committee (episode 186) hosts Andrew Eisen and E. Zachary Knight are joined by GamePolitics managing editor James Fudge for a free-form conversation about Lollipop Chainsaw's platinum coins (3:53), Square Enix's penchant for giving Kingdom Hearts games weird names (13:32), adventures covering E3 over the years (16:25), Jack Thompson's antics over the years (31:14), anti-violent video game activism from a variety of sources (31:14), ill-advised marketing stunts from publishers (1:00:40), and Zachary running for public office in the great state of Oklahoma (1:09:56).
GamePolitics' own E. Zachary Knight is running for Congress
Before we go dark, we'd like to take a moment to inform you that our own E. Zachary Knight, longtime contributor and co-host of Super Podcast Action Committee, is running for US Congress.
"For the first time in over 30 years," says Knight, "the Oklahoma Legislature reduced the ballot access laws and thanks to that, the Libertarian Party is an official party in Oklahoma for the first time in 16 years. To celebrate this momentous occasion, I have decided to run for office as an official Libertarian candidate for US Congressional District 5."
New study examines 'violent-sexist' video games' affect on player empathy towards female victims of violence
A new study published in the journal PLOS ONE earlier this week takes a look at how "violent-sexist" video games affect players' empathy towards female victims of violence. The study was conducted by
Our finest hour: the Bill Kunkel Awards
Bill Kunkel is and always will be one of my heroes. Growing up in the 70's and 80's, I read a lot of his stuff in wrestling and gaming magazines. I saw his byline and imagined that someday I could do what he did. I never met the man in person but I did get to talk to him as part of the GameJournoPros mailing list that Kyle Orland started. I'm eternally grateful to Kyle for letting me be a part of that list just for the opportunity to talk to Bill… about anything at all.
Take-Two sued by former Rockstar North president for $150 million in unpaid royalties
Leslie Benzies, former president of Rockstar North (Grand Theft Auto series), is suing Take-Two Interactive for $150 million in unpaid royalties.
Take-Two, who has filed a counter-suit, sees things differently.
UPDATE: See below for more info from Benzies' side of this story.
Looking back: GamerGate
Psst. Here's a little secret: when I report on a story, I put my beliefs on hold and try to be as fair and impartial as is humanly possible. I know that's hard for some people out there to believe, but it is the truth. People say that this is an impossible thing to do, but I have done it for a very long time quite successfully.
So what does that proclamation have to do with the price of corn in Iowa? Well, in the last two years or so, an ongoing culture war between so-called "gamers," or "GamerGaters," or "men's rights activists" (depending on whom you ask), and so-called "social justice warriors," or "feminists" seemed to force people to take sides.
Senator Al Franken voices Oculus Rift privacy concerns
Last week, Senator Al Franken (D-MN) penned a letter to Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe detailing a list of privacy concerns he has regarding the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset.
"Oculus' creation of an immersive virtual reality experience is an exciting development," writes Franken, "but it remains important to understand the extent to which Oculus may be collecting Americans personal information, including sensitive location data, and sharing that information with third parties."
GamePolitics Is Dead; Long Live GamePolitics
You're probably getting sick of these posts. Yes. GamePolitics as a site is over. There are no more serious threats to gaming. Politicians have all but given up. Anti-game research only comes from the same handful of people it has always come from. Pundits still say stupid things, but have a much smaller reach.
Yet, gaming and politics will continue to collide. It won't be like before with politicians trying to restrict or ban games. It won't be about trying to claim that games are causing violence in our youth. No. It will be about people who play games openly becoming our leaders, our congresspersons, even our President.
Jack Thompson and how I started with GamePolitics
"Have you heard about this Jack Thompson guy?"
I was working for a technology company back in the spring of 2005. A workmate came up to me and asked the above question. I admitted I had not heard of him. I was told that there was this lawyer named Jack Thompson who was railing about a hidden sex minigame in the latest Grand Theft Auto and was fighting with gamers in online forums, calling them names, threatening them with legal action, and generally being obnoxious.

His recent single, All Gold Everything, has received a ton of attention from the Internet and hip hop fans alike.
This is really the only reason why we're here. The music video for All Gold Everything was so hilariously dope that we couldn't stop watching it over the last few days. That and the now infamous one-liner, "Popped a Molly, I'm sweating… WOO!"

I would greatly appreciate recommendations for a female therapist in Oakland/Berkeley area for a 50-ish woman struggling with stress and anxiety from difficult (older) kids, mediocre marriage, aging parents, etc. I've had previous experience with therapists -- both good and bad -- and know that I'd like someone who talks as much as she listens, is compassionate, and has a sense of humor. Many thanks. Anon
I moved to the area last year and have had trouble finding the right psychotherapist. I am looking for an experienced woman therapist who is sensitive and warm, sympathetic, and also has an active therapeutic approach.

Does anyone have a therapist they love who might have room for a new client?

I'd love any recommendations people have for a female therapist in the El Cerrito/Albany/Berkeley area who can help me work through the emotional and mental stress of completing my Ph.D, going on the job market, raising two kids, trying to maintain a good relationship with my husband, financial stress, general fatigue, etc. It would be great to find someone pragmatic and goal-oriented who has raised kids themselves while juggling a million things, can help me communicate more effectively, as well as someone who's sensitive to issues of race and culture. Tired Mom
I am looking for a feamle therapist that accepts MHN through Health Net. Oddly, there isn't anyone listed in the archives that is on the current MHN list. I have had many years of therapy but decided to part ways with my therapist for various reasons -- but mostly because I can't afford to pay her out-of-pocket anymore. Sigh. So I am now looking for someone new who is smart, direct and very reliable. Someone who has experience working with new moms would be nice. Locations that would work are: Albany, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Emeryville and maybe Oakland (altho less convenient for sure). Other options are Mill Valley, Larkspur or maybe Corte Madera (I work in Marin but actually don't know it that well). Even the Marina district (close to GGate bridge) of SF is a possibility. Any ideas or leads would be very appreciated! anon
I'm looking for recommendations for therapist who is ''mom-like'': a woman who can offer advice and call me on my stuff in a comforting and supportive way. On that note, I would also like recs for someone used to dealing with students or people in their 20s. Thanks! anon.
Does anyone know a wonderful, female, preferably over-50 and Jewish therapist, in or near downtown San Francisco? Thanks.
Can anyone recommend a female therapist in the Walnut Creek/Lafayette area? My 62-year-old mother needs serious counseling to cope with chronic pain, as well as emptiness and anger after being a stay-at-home mom.

I am looking to find a good therapist (female preferred) in the Berkeley area, mostly to deal with past relationship issues. Prefer to find one who is willing to give you honest opinions/feedback (versus someone who just sits back and listens). I have reviewed the previous recommendations on the parents website, but info on women therapists was limited. Thanks! Anon
One other point is that Yvonne is willing as a therapist to reveal some of her emotions or character flaws that make her more real, and brings less of a ''sterile'' or non-personal approach than other therapists might use. Her office is actually not in Berkeley, but just over the border in Albany. You can reach her at 528-9551. Susan

I would like to restart long-term therapy to get help with anxiety, anger, kid-raising and various other issues. I am hoping to find a wonderful woman psychotherapist in or near Montclair and would very much appreciate any recommendations. Norma
I plan to start therapy again after many years without it, and so I'm seeking recommendations for a therapist in the east part of the East Bay (Oakland to Castro Valley) who meets the following criteria: - Woman who is a ''wise sage'' and has parenting experience of her own - Therapeutic style which is nurturing and empathic but also challenging and directive - Someone who works well with clients around issues of parenting as well as in depth psychotherapeutic work Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
Can anyone recommend a good woman therapist that is affiliated with the Pacificare plan? My husband is considering leaving and has just started seeing a therapist to try to deal with his mid-life crises. We'll eventually go the couples route, but for now I need to find someone to see myself. Thanks.
I am new to the area and I am searching for a therapist to help me better balance my own happiness with my daughter's and husband's needs/happiness. Has anyone ever worked with a therapist named Shirley Issel? If so, could you please send me some feedback about her. I am also interested in hearing from anyone who is wild about their therapist (assuming they are located near Berkeley and are taking new patients). I have to admit I would probably be more comfortable with someone who isn't TOO new-agey. I am looking for someone along the lines of a cognitive behavioral therapist rather than someone who surrounds themselves with herbs, crystals and incense. I couldn't tell from the recommendations on the website if any of those folks fit this description. Thank you in advance for your help. S.
Editor note: as of Jan 2006, Denise Forte can be reached at her private practice at 510 286-7615 on Alcatraz in Berkeley.
I am looking for caring female therapist in Alameda to deal with general anxiety/depression issues. The Blue Shield lists these following providers. Does anyone have any information about them?

I'm in the process of learning Windows Server 2012, so I just did a fresh reinstall of it. Before I actually setup a local domain, I'm wondering how to access this from outside of my network. My setup is as follows:
- Windows Server 2012 Computer, IP 192.168.0.2, Primary DNS 192.168.0.2
- Laptop, IP 192.168.0.100, Primary DNS 192.168.0.2, Secondary DNS 126.96.36.199 (Google)
I read an article stating that for internal networks you should setup your domain as
mydomain.local instead of something that might not resolve properly (i.e. domain.com). But, if I use the local version, when I take my laptop outside of the network, how can I get access back into my network for file shares and user profiles and etc?
Please go easy on me as I am still learning. :)

Sonny Rollins & Coleman Hawkins: Just Friends
Just Friends
Sonny Rollins (tenor sax) and Coleman Hawkins (tenor sax)
Sonny Meets Hawk (RCA 63479)
Sonny Rollins (tenor sax), Coleman Hawkins (tenor sax), Paul Bley (piano), Henry Grimes (bass), Roy McCurdy (drums).
Composed by John Klenner and Sam Lewis.
Recorded: New York, July 18, 1963
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
These two tenor legends may have been "just friends," but there is still an aggressive edge to this encounter. Rollins was flirting with the avant-garde during this turbulent stage in his musical development. But here, instead of Don Cherry, Coleman Hawkins is his front-line partner. Even so, Rollins still pushes toward the outside, especially during the closing moments of this track when he tosses out disjointed phrases behind Hawkins's melody statement. This partnership never really coheres to my satisfaction. Rollins is in an exploratory mood, while Hawkins is trying to get more of a swinging groove happening. Nonetheless, the individual solos are smartly done, and there is inevitably a certain fascination in watching so much sax history compressed into a 4˝-minute track.

I have been trying to get pam_mount to mount a tmpfs drive for domain users, so that it is volatile storage and is cleared on every logout. The problem I found was that although the area would mount fine, it wouldn't unmount again. Checking in auth.log showed me that the umount command was saying Device is busy.
So I tried to manually unmount the device (the user is logged out at this stage) but the error was still persisting. However, lsof and fuser showed no files opened within the area. Looking at some other related problems I also tried losetup to find any loopback devices, but there were none. The exact mount command I used was:
mount -t tmpfs -o uid=1001,gid=1001,size=100m,mode=0700 none /home/user
To cut a long story short, I have narrowed the cause down to something in X, the X session, XFCE, LightDM login, or any other graphical apps. The problem does not manifest itself with virtual terminal logins, or if I don't log in at all. Unmounting only gives the error if I log in through the graphical login.
And just to make it even more confusing, I tried the same test on my home Arch system which also runs XFCE. This time it worked flawlessly.
System specs: Ubuntu 12.04, XFCE desktop, LightDM with KDE greeter, winbind authentication.

It looks like the rumors are true and the reveal on the next Assassin's Creed title is all but officially confirmed. Assassin's Creed 3 finally moves up a numeral, abandoning the Renaissance setting of Ezio Auditore and moving to 18th century colonial America for the Revolutionary War.
Images first appeared yesterday when a leaked Best Buy promotional image was submitted to Kotaku. Now the box art has appeared in three flavors for the PS3, PC and Xbox 360, on Facebook, while Game Informer has revealed the cover for their next issue. Assassin's Creed 3 is set to take on the non-FPS audience (or just action game fans with big pockets) who are willing to play something other than a Call of Duty game with an October 30th release date.

Jameis Winston Accuser: Who Is She and Why Would She Lie?
Florida State QB Jameis Winston will not be charged with sexual assault. (Photo: Reuters)
Florida State Seminoles star quarterback will not be charged with sexual assault even though his accuser maintains that she was raped by the football player. Nevertheless, he will remain innocent in the eyes of most.
But why would his accuser lie? And furthermore, who is she?
Those two questions relate to each other in more ways that you may believe. Most people would believe that somebody would wrongfully accuse a highly touted football player of rape for either mainstream attention or to hurt his credibility. But that does not seem to be the case here.
Follow Us :
We still have no idea who his accuser is. She hasn't spoken publicly and according to all reports, she had no previous relationship with Winston. Therefore, she had no reason to want to hurt his credibility.
Even though no Winston has avoided charges, his accuser still says she was raped by the QB.
"To be clear, the victim did not consent. This was rape," according to a statement released by the accuser's family.
Other people maintain the belief that the accuser was drunk, really has no idea what happened and wouldn't have remembered if she agreed to have sexual intercourse or not.
Whatever happened that night, only Mr. Winston and the accuser truly know, but why would she lie?
Regardless if it was rape or not, we already know Winston isn't the smartest or greatest person in the world. Why would he have sexual intercourse in front of a ton of people with a complete stranger who had obviously been drinking? Obviously, he is far from innocent.
After he found out he wouldn't be charged with sexual assault, Winston released the following statement through his lawyer.
"It's been difficult to stay silent through this process, but I never lost faith in the truth and in who I am," Winston's statement said.
Even though Jameis Winston has to be considered innocent, many people can't help but wonder what really happened between him and the accuser. Maybe a rape didn't occur, or maybe it did. One thing is for sure: the spotlight will remain on Jameis Winston for as long as he remains a public figure. He better thing twice, even three times, before he decides to put himself in questionable positions.
We will continue to monitor this news story for any more information. If we ever find out exactly who the accuser is or if we are given any reason as to why she would have lied about being raped by Mr. Winston, we will definitely update you on ISportsTimes.

A multitude of re-signings had most players sticking with their current WNBA teams as the free agency signing period entered its first full week, but some key transactions led to new dynamics for certain teams that will at least give speculators some material to salivate over before the 2014 season begins in May.
The biggest mover was Katie Douglas, an unrestricted free agent, leaving the Indiana Fever to rejoin her first team, the Connecticut Sun (formerly the Orlando Miracle). Douglas spent the last five seasons with Indiana and the popular thought suggested she would finish her career in the state she was raised in.
A less surprising move was found in Atlanta, where Erika de Souza re-signed with the Dream. Atlanta used the core designation on the native of Brazil, barring any other team from acquiring her, but her presence in the post will allow for some continuity as the team transitions from Fred Williams to Michael Cooper as head coach.
Most of the teams involved in swaps so far have experienced recent changes in the head coaching department, a trend likely to continue as lineups are tweaked prior to the WNBA Draft on April 14.
Connecticut signs Douglas, keeps Greene and Hightower
Katie Douglas sat out most of the 2013 season due to a bulging disc, playing only two games in what would be her final year with Indiana. She also could not participate in the 2012 WNBA Finals due to an ankle injury, but her teammates compensated to win the championship that year.
"Katie was on our radar throughout the offseason. I believe our fans will embrace her return," said Chris Sienko, General Manager of Connecticut.
Douglas is ninth in career scoring with 5,172 points.
The Sun also locked in two current players, signing Allison Hightower to a four-year contract and Kalana Greene to a one-year deal.
Phoenix trades Houston to Seattle
Two recent coaching changes in Phoenix put forward Charde Houston in a tough spot, as her previous arrangement with Corey Gaines allowed her style of energetic scoring to excel.
With Sandy Brondello assuming head coaching duties, Houston's defensive liabilities increased in scope enough that Phoenix traded her to Seattle in exchange for Ewelina Kobryn.
Initially, the trade seemed bizarre with Brian Agler's defensive-oriented style, but Lauren Jackson will miss another season due to lingering injuries, and Kobryn last played for the Storm in 2012. Although Sue Bird will return for 2014, Seattle is seeking more punch on offense.
"Charde is a very versatile scorer who is challenging to defend. She will strengthen us offensively," Agler said in a statement.
Erika de Souza stays with Dream
With Atlanta coring center Erika de Souza, signing her was not a difficult proposition. In any case, the 6-foot-5 center will be back to anchor Atlanta's post as the roster undergoes adjustments with Michael Cooper as head coach and Angela Taylor taking the role of general manager.
"Her veteran leadership, competitive nature, and passion for the game are valuable assets," Taylor said.
De Souza earned her second All-Star nod last year and posted career highs in scoring (12.9 points per game) and rebounds (9.9) per game.
Seattle keeps their 'Little' storm
Seattle should have no depth issues at forward this year. Prior to the Houston trade, the Storm re-signed Camille Little to a multi-year deal, reflecting her appreciation for the franchise and its city.
"I love the city and couldn't be more excited to build on our momentum of last season. Thank you to all the coaches, owners and staff for believing in me," she said in a statement.
Little averaged 10.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in 2013 as Seattle made an unexpected appearance in the playoffs before suffering a first-round sweep to Minnesota. Although Seattle still lacks a true center without Lauren Jackson, the team has enough forwards where they could see some floor time in that spot.
Coleman builds up 'fever'
With Indiana having a clear opening at wing, restricted free agent Marissa Coleman signed a multi-year contract that the Los Angeles Sparks, her prior team, decided not to match.
Coleman was primarily a bench player during her tenure in Los Angeles, a role that could change with Katie Douglas and Erin Phillips no longer in Indiana.
"Marissa helps us spread the floor with her perimeter shooting and size from the wing," said President and General Manager Kelly Krauskopf.
Coleman did post a career-high field goal percentage of 43 percent last season, including a 40 percent mark from three-point range.
If Coleman does get slotted at wing, the Fever will likely divert their efforts to find a shooting guard.

The United States play Belgium for a place in the World Cup quarter-finals. Here is all you need to know about the clash.
The Americans have managed the second-lowest number of attacks out of the 32 teams during the group stage, with just 72.
But coach Jurgen Klinsmann has promised the team will try to put more pressure on the opponent, saying: "We are going to take it to them."
"We have no fear at all.
"We feel fresh, we have recovered well after every game so far. We feel we have just started this adventure."
Belgians struck a bellicose tone ahead of the clash.
"Physically they are very strong," Belgium coach Marc Wilmots told reporters.
"We are preparing for a war."
Waffle House took to its Twitter account to proclaim: "We don't believe in Belgium waffles" - but said it was all in good fun.
The Georgia-based restaurant serves American-style waffles - smaller and with thicker batter than its Belgian cousins.
The Belgians came through the group stage with three wins from three against Algeria, Russia and South Korea.
Belgium's main threat will come from the creative skills of playmaker Eden Hazard, who provided two decisive assists in group stage victories over Russia and Algeria.
Star midfielder Marouane Fellaini has been slowed by calf injuries.
The defence has conceded just once in the tournament, a penalty to Algeria. The main question mark is whether captain and central defender Vincent Kompany will be fully fit after a recurring groin strain.
Belgians were fifth favourites with bookmakers going into the tournament.
The US surprisingly saw off Portugal and Ghana to qualify for the last 16 alongside Germany in Group G.
The Americans' mix of organisation and physical fitness has been improved by Klinsmann's focus on quick passing moves that have sharpened their attacking edge.
The good news for the US is that forward Jozy Altidore is available after straining his left hamstring against Ghana.
Klinsmann has said he is not happy with FIFA's choice of referee, Algeria's Djamel Haimoudi.
The US scored a late winner against Algeria in the World Cup four years ago that helped knock Algeria out.
"He is able to speak French with their players on the field, not with us, and it is a country we beat in the last World Cup.
"Sometimes I don't understand FIFA," he said, adding: "We give it the benefit of the doubt."
Wilmots played down the significance of the appointment.
"I'm not getting involved in a little game about the refs," he said.
The match is played at Salvador's Arena Fonte Nova.
Kick-off is at 4pm EDT.
The winners will play Argentina in the quarter-finals. The Americans are trying to reach the quarter finals for the first time since 2002.
The United States and Belgium have not played in the World Cup since the first tournament in 1930, a 3-0 win by the Americans.
The Belgians have won the last four of their five games with the US, including a 4-2 victory in Cleveland in May last year.

PBS' award-winning history series "American Experience" does it again with taking a singular topic and expanding it. "1964" premiered Tuesday night with its well-thought out, chronological order of events taking place that year. The episode starts off with a stark black & white film clip of New Year Eve revelers in Times Square kicking off the start of '64.
Many are still feeling the effects of Kennedy's assassination from the previous year, while resenting Johnson's illegitimate gain to the presidency. One of the first events to wake up the restless youth in February 1964 is the arrival of the Beatles.
They land at the newly named John F. Kennedy airport in New York City. Currently on the charts is Bobby Vinton's mind-numbing hit song "There! I've said It Again." Music in America is about to get a shot in the arm.
A young boy is interviewed on why his hair so long (it's actually very short by today's standards). What did his parents think about it? He basically tells the reporter he's not concerned what they think. The reason his hair's long, it's because of the Beatles. This is just the start on how young kids began to rebel
After their enormously successful television appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, the Beatles set off to Miami. Initially the four lads were to meet heavyweight boxing champion Sonny Liston. He has no desire to be bothered with them. Sportswriter Bob Lipsyte recalls when they met Cassius Clay (Ali's name at the time) at his training camp. He joked around with them and posed for photos.
Interesting to note, Clay was not at all favored to win the championship against Liston. As the new heavyweight champion of the world he later acknowledged his conversion to Islam, and a new name, Muhammad Ali.
During the middle part of the two-hour documentary was devoted extensively to the civil rights movement. President Johnson aggressively petitioned and later signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Freedom Summer civil rights program took place later that summer, recruiting college students in the north to go to Mississippi. Their mission was to assist blacks in that state with voter registration.
Two civil right workers from Freedom Summer, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, along with Mississippi native James Chaney, were reported missing and later murdered. This would later be the basis for the 1980s film "Mississippi Burning." Once the nation found out what was happening in this Deep South state, rebellion for civil rights began taking place at many college campuses including the University of California at Berkeley.
In the last segment of "American Experience - 1964," the Vietnam War was then a quite conflict until the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. Johnson took it upon himself, without conferring with Congress, to use military force in Southeast Asia, more specifically Vietnam. During the program's epilogue, the Johnson administration would see the war escalating out of control. He would not seek another term in office. Rebellion amongst the youth reached a fever pitch at college campuses across the nation.

Baby Blues - I spotted The Man Repeller a/k/a Leandra Medine this week celebrating the launch of Tommy Ton for Club Monaco. She was wearing the most breathtaking baby blue blazer and denim trousers (both by Ferragamo) and it made me crazy about swapping out my black duds for pastel palettes pronto.
She describes her full, enviable outfit here and not suprisingly, it was the way she wore her accessories that reeled me in, with the scrunched sleeves and trademark arm candy. Granted, her high valued wrist is more than mere mortals make in months, so please understand it's not the brands (Hermès, Cartier) I admired as much as her mad embellishing skills. She's of course sporting a colorful Dannijo necklace with skulls that give the high end look a whimsical flair (and I should blatantly plug her sheer Club Monaco tank since they were so cool to let me shoot the private event.)
In some of the posing shots we took (not shown here), I could've sworn she was swinging her fat engagement ring in toward her palm, out of sight. Am I crazy or has it not been published anywhere? If you are a good sleuth, you can catch it in the slideshow below…

Sriracha hot sauce maker and the owner of Huy Fong Foods, David Tran, and the mayor of Irwindale, Mark Breceda, toured the company's facility on Azusa Canyon Road on Tuesday. An hour-long closed-door meeting followed and the session was described as cordial.
"They want to work with us," said Huy Fong Foods director of operations Adam Holliday. "The city wants us to put in writing the changes we have made to our filtration system and has asked that there be future testing." He said the mayor wants to visit again during the August to November harvest season when the odor from the chilis is at its peak.
About 58,000 tons of chilis are projected to be canned during the 2014 harvest season and the company's workforce will expand by up to 200 temporary workers employed on three shifts. Complaints led the city to consider declaring the popular manufacturer a public nuisance and giving it 90 days to clean up its production process. David Tran warned the city that making upgrades would be too expensive to implement and said he might have to shut down operations. The remarks led to widespread support for Huy Fong Foods.
One residential neighborhood is immediately west and a second neighborhood is less than a quarter-mile to the east. Tran decided to open the facility for the public to tour and experience the operations first-hand. "How's the odor?" asked Holliday, walking alongside two officials from the governor's office of economic development. "We're a small family business with nothing to hide. Over 600 people including families with infants have walked through here in the past few months."
Holliday said the odor is consistent and bottling is done year round. He said the issue is important to resolve because Huy Fong Foods continues growing. "We did about $ 80 million in sales in 2013 and about $ 60 million in 2012." He credits the foodie movement and David Tran's immigrant story as reasons for the company's fan base.
A concern Holliday brought up to the governor's office is a required 35 day hold on the product after packaging. It's a requirement from the Food and Drug Administration that the state enforces. Holliday mentioned the chili is stored for up to seven months prior to bottling and is well-tested for bacteria.
The company needed room to expand and moved from Rosemead to Irwindale in 2010. The city has 1, 436 residents and 700 businesses. City council meets 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 28 at Irwindale City Hall, 5050 Irwindale Avenue.

My 13 y.o son gets mad if we discipline him when he does not do his homework, and then will dig his feet in and refuse to to go to school the next day. Help!
My son(13 y.o and in 8th grade) has missed so much school because of this. He is home today AGAIN, because last night he would not finish his homework so we took away computer privileges and he dug his feet in today and said he is not going to school because of what we did last night. So he is in his room with no TV and no comp. We have tried compromises and he will stick with them for a day or two and than feel that he is entitled to computer time no matter what. He struggles in school because of the missed academics of that day. I will say he has missed about 15 days doing this, not to mention sick days that even if he has a small headache and refuses to go. He knows it works and it is getting worse. He is to strong to get up and dress and we don't want to do battle with him. Battle does not work. It is not about school, it is about being the only power he has over us. He wants to go to school but uses this as a consequence on us. He also feels that school is unimportant. Our other son is in HS and in honors and AP classes and misses maybe one day a year if that. No matter our issues, which are few with him, he goes to school and understands the importance of a good education. He is 16. However at 13(7th grade) he also gave us some problems, but still always went to school. He said after not doing all his homework he learned his lesson and in 8th grade got back on track. When he gets mad(my 13 y.o) he threatens to hit us and if we grab him he does.In Topics: School and Academics, Teen issues, Discipline and behavior challenges

Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on March 29, 2013 @ 3:56PM
Created on March 29, 2013 @ 2:07PM
A man who was arrested on drug charges in Gilmer County in February is now facing charges in Upshur county.
29 year-old James Ware was pulled over Thursday night for speeding on Route 20. Police said they found meth and marijuana during the traffic stop.
Upshur County Sheriff, David Coffman, said his department is focused on stopping the growing drug problems in the area.
"I'm putting all our resources toward our drug investigations. We have ongoing investigations at this time, and hopefully in the future we'll be making several arrests, but myself, as sheriff, I'm not going to tolerate it," said Sheriff Coffman.
Ware is charged with operating or attempting to operate a clandestine lab along with other drug related charges.

What We Do:
Drug abuse and addiction are frequently comorbid with other psychiatric disorders and may share common genetic, environmental, and neurobiological causes. The Comorbidity Interest Group (CIG) integrates new and ongoing research and works synergistically to promote a dimensional, multidisciplinary perspective on this major challenge to drug abuse research. The CIG discusses cutting edge research, plans integrative symposia at national meetings, and develops coordinated responses to requests for information, meetings and initiatives within NIDA. Areas of particular interest are:
- The biological and behavioral basis of comorbid disorders;
- Nosology and dimensional approaches to diagnosis;
- Gene-environment interplay;
- Phenotyping, targeted medication development, treatment, and service delivery.

My boss told me we can get a new web server if it is really necessary. I don't know if this is really necessary, so I decided to ask the ones who probably do know.
The website has the IIS 6.0 as well the Apache installed. The IIS is hosting only one application, which is a long polling application (consumes a lot of threads).
The current machine is a Windows 2003 with two CPUs (probably one physical, but two logical).
We have around 3,000 unique visitors per day.
When you type in the address and hit enter, sometimes it takes even more than a minute for an initial load.
I tried to fine tune the IIS by increasing the maxWorkerThreads, maxIoThreads, and other process model attributes but to not much avail.
Is there any use in obtaining a better machine? How much better? Any suggestions?
Any suggestions that could help and do not include a purchase of a new machine?
EDIT: Here's the current system information
Computer: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5130 @ 2.00 GHz, 2.00 GB RAM
Operating system: Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, Service Pack 2
Please let me know if you need other information in regards of the system.

Dear LA Teacher,
In less than a month, on August 12, 2014 the 2014-2015 school year begins. Already, my middle school child is complaining. What can a mother do to make her child realize how lucky they are to get a decent education in our free and vibrant society?
Perplexed Mom
Dear Perplexed Mom,
I strongly suggest you take your child to see the 5th Annual Vibha Vibe Dance and Music Extravaganza. Minal, the Master of Ceremonies and lead coordinator of Vibha Vibe 2014 says, "American children and teens are sheltered because our country is abundant in wealth and opportunity. Our children don't understand that in most third world nations education is a privilege, one which most parents would be willing to die for in order for their child to have."
The Vibha Vibe Dance Extravaganza is a multicultural presentation of music and dance from around the world. Vibha Vibe's goal is to attract people, young and old, Hispanic, Anglo, Hindu, Black, Jewish or Muslim to support the education and shelter for underprivileged children worldwide. Their goal is for the public to support something greater than themselves and experience and rejoice the diversity of art in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
The people at Vibha show the poverty of children in the Third World and their need for a decent education during the event. Minal says, "Videos are shown and we actually do a live Skype session with the children who live in the slum village we are supporting." Your children can view first hand how fortunate they are for the opportunities they have right here in Southern California.
Minal says, "Education in America should be treated as an honor, not a burden because not all children are as blessed as we are. A child or teen attending this event will leave feeling humbled." Children witnessing those videos and live scenes will understand how lucky they are to have the opportunity to learn, grow, and build their own lives in our free society.
Vibha Vibe 2014 showcases the talents of Los Angeles and Orange County's finest artists, dancers, and singers. Minal says, "Each act is handpicked to provide a multicultural potpourri. Our audience will feel as though they have traveled the world in the few hours they are at Vibe." This year's show will include Bollywood Fusion, The Golden Era Bollywood of the 60's, Salsa Merengue, African Dance, Belly Dancing, Odissi and Live Singing. The audience will learn something new about each country showcased while supporting a cause that provides a child education, shelter, and a chance at a real life.
Vibha organizes events, drives, and campaigns all over the Los Angeles area and creates awareness about childhood poverty as well as raise much needed funds to support grass root projects in India and US. It's a grassroots movement that empowers volunteers or donors to make a positive difference in the life of an underprivileged child. The goal is to provide those children with a brighter future.
Vibha Vibe 2014 will be held on Saturday, August 23, 2014 from 5:30-8:00 PM at Brea Curtis Theater, Civic Center Circle, Brea, CA 92821. Pre-sale tickets are $25 and $30 at the door. For more information e-mail email@example.com or click on this link to purchase tickets.
Have fun,
LA Teacher

Brittany Gibson Signs with Mars Hill College
WINTERVILLE—Pitt Community College softball player Brittany Gibson will continue her playing career at Mars Hill College next season, after signing a letter-of-intent to play with the Lions earlier this month.
Gibson, a sophomore centerfielder from Laurinburg, was part of PCC's 2011 squad that finished 49-9 overall and made it to the NJCAA Division I Fast-Pitch Softball Championship in Utah. This year's team is 30-15 overall with the Region X Conference Tournament—and a potential trip to the national tourney—still on the docket.
In two seasons with the Bulldogs, Gibson batted .269 with 53 runs batted in, 22 stolen bases, two home runs, nine triples and 15 doubles to go along with a .959 fielding percentage.
"Brittany is the total package," says PCC softball coach Junior Bailey. "She hits for power, plays the outfield well, and has great speed."
Bailey said he is going to have a tough time filling the void in centerfield next season.
"Brittany has always been a hard worker, a coachable athlete, and a great teammate," he said. "I am excited for her to continue her career at Mars Hill, and I am certain she will be a great asset to their program.
"I am also confident she will continue growing as a player under Coach Monica Gordy at Mars Hill, because she is always looking for ways to make her game and her team better."

Reds pitching meeting tomorrow:
"Hey coach...maybe we should walk Bryant?"
"No...keep challenging him with fastballs! What kind of man are you?! The Cubs walked Harper, and look what happened there! They got teased for it, by one of the Nat players! Is that what you want?"
How can I get that feature? I think it woudl be a win-win for all involved.
Ian Happ is hitting.733 after 5 games at Tennessee. He went into tonight's game hitting .667 -- and went 3-for-3 to raise his average.
2-for-3, including a bomb, for LaStella at Iowa. Pierce Johnson very bad -- 2IP, 5ER. Pitching prospects not looking so hot -- Underwood has been awful.
Did Jiminez get hurt? I noticed he came out early yesterday.
Contreras keeps hitting/walking like this, and Miggy keep up the poor D and lack of offense - the kid could be the #1 catcher very soon.
it doesn't hurt that the Cardinals lose the KC and the Pirates lost too.
...still trying to process what I just saw. From both KB and Jake. Walking Billy Hamilton twice is a cry for help. I think the nudie photos are messing with Jake's head.
Hopefully Peralta's time on the Cubs roster will be shorter than R. Soriano's.
it took 9 pitches for peralta to give up his 1st cubs homer. neat.
damn...totally missed that ruben quevedo died on june 7th. he was only 37...heart attack.
he threw some really horrible games for the cubs in 2000 and followed it up by doing the same for 3 season for the brewers.
Holy Kris Bryant what?!
Hitting 3 HR, 2 doubles in a game. Never been done in mlb history per Len/Bob.
walks? this is baseball, not a nature hike. he needs to get his head in the game.
in my opinion, he would have been better off hitting 2 homers rather than walking twice. /moneyballs
Rizzo: 2-3, homer, double, 2 walks - meh
in other news, the site seems to be eating about 50% of my comments...which is probably a good thing in hindsight.
The Tucker Barnhart reactions after each Kris Bryant HR are kind of priceless.
...but, he's also good at home runs, too.
also, rizzo.

When it comes to advertising, most tech companies -- including Apple -- want to target the young crowd. Maybe it's time to reconsider and modify those ads a bit.
Grandparents.com, an online resource for grandparents, says research conducted by Pew Internet & American Life Project has revealed that, for the first time in Internet history, more than half of all U.S. adults over the age of 65 use the web. The Pew report found that 53% of the over-65 set use the Internet.
In addition, about 70% of web-oriented seniors say they go online every day. What's more, Pew reported that over one-third of seniors on the Internet, age 65 and older, use social networking websites, and 18% do so every day.
According to Mashable.com, "This is a high number, especially considering 66% of all adult Internet users access social networking sites."
So companies such as Apple should keep these stats in mind. Hey, we're seeing a virtual geezer revolution. The Beach Boys have a new (very good) album. The upcoming "Expendables 2" features several aging action stars kicking butt.
Maybe it's time for a Siri ad with Betty White.

I am having the same explained pain. I am only 14 weeks. I just came back from my daily walk and sudden sharp pain to my pubic bone. I have NEVER felt that before. Could it be a cramp? Is there muscle around that area and if so how do I stop it. It only lasted a few minutes and actually came in waves of pain. I am sitting now and it's fine. Again, I am only 14 weeks not even showing yet. Anyone know what this is?posted 09/17/2010 by adawnkim
thank you i actually had a doctors app yesterday and he basically said the same thing.. that her head was pushing down all over in that area now,, so thats what it was and his answer to it was a support band that goes under your belly to hold it up!posted 08/11/2010 by devildogmommy5

hurray for Germany!! and yet the deniers and obfuscators continue to try to discredit the world-leading moves to reduce nuclear power and CO2 emissions in Germany.
It is like watching a bunch of 8 yr. olds in a sandbox fight to see the world's leaders refusing to give an inch of credit just so they won't look so bad. Only by giving credit where credit is due can a nation like Germany lead by example.
As a Canadian, I am utterly ashamed of our nation's Harpocritical leader and the refusal to diversify away from tar sands energy. We should be putting investments into renewable energy, of which Canada has MASSIVE opportunities from shore to shore to shore.

Reviews for the Caberg V2 407 HellRacer White
Good Helmet
Good fitment, nice paint work and excellent value. However it does fog up quite badly without treatment even at speed due to very little ventilation on the front. However the ventilation around the head is the best I've had in helmets in this price rangeDean - Birmingham
Excellent helmet, great value
Fits perfectly, comfortable to wear. It is very well ventilated. The inner sun visor works brilliantly and doesn't obscure vision in any way. Only criticism would be the clasp, which isn't the double-D strap. Otherwise, for just 90 notes, its an absolute bargain. Looks the nuts as well.Lucian Van Wyk - Eastleigh

Installation of WRS package (Wilcox' Robust Statistics)
Update Feb 17, 2014: WRS moved to Github – This installation procedure has been updated and still is valid
Some users had trouble installing the WRS package from R-Forge. Here's a method that should work automatically and fail-safe:
install.packages(c("MASS", "akima", "robustbase"))
# second: install suggested packages
install.packages(c("cobs", "robust", "mgcv", "scatterplot3d", "quantreg", "rrcov", "lars", "pwr", "trimcluster", "parallel", "mc2d", "psych", "Rfit"))
# third: install an additional package which provides some C functions
# fourth: install WRS
install_github("nicebread/WRS", subdir="pkg")
WRS cannot be hosted on CRAN, as CRAN demands help files for every user-visible function. This has not been done for WRS (yet). For the time being, this somewhat more complicated installation routine has to be used.
23 Responses to "Installation of WRS package (Wilcox' Robust Statistics)"
Hi – doesn't seem to work at the moment (July 2013). Has it been locked off?
Hi Felix, just to say many thanks for the helpful code.
[…] [Update Aug 2013: For a fail safe installation routine, see this up-to-date post: Installation of the WRS package] […]
[…] For a fail-safe installation of the package, follow this instruction. […]
[…] from the WRS package compares user-defined quantiles of both distributions using a Harrell–Davis estimator in conjunction with a percentile bootstrap. The method seems to improve over other methods: "Currently, when there are tied values, no other method has been found that performs reasonably well. Even with no tied values, method HD can provide a substantial gain in power when q ≤ .25 or q ≥ .75 compared to other techniques that have been proposed". The method is described in the paper "Comparing two independent groups via the upper and lower quantiles" by Wilcox, Erceg-Hurn, Clark and Carlson (2013). You can use the function as soon as you install the latest version of the WRS package following this installation instruction. […]
[…] Update: For installation of the WRS package, please use only the fail-safe installation procedure described here! […]
Thanks for the instruction. Just a simple question. I noticed that there is also a project called WRScppWin. If I run R for Windows, should I install that package instead of WRScpp?
Dear FelixS, I've been trying to install WRS on R 3.1.1 (on MacOS), following your highly useful method above, but to no avail. None of the WRS functions (e.g. t2way) is recognised, even though library(WRS) does not yield any error messages. Do you think there may be any problem with my R version (which is the most recent one, as far as I know).
Thanks a lot!
Can't seem to get this to work for R 3.1.2, is it compatible?
What is the status of the WRS2 package at CRAN? Is it better to use that (v. 0.3-1) or the version (0.27.5) from github?
I keep getting this error
install_github("nicebread/WRS", subdir="pkg")
Error: could not find function "install_github"
Do I need something else to work with WRS?
I recently installed WRS via the method above (everything went fine) and am running the current version of R (3.3.0), but am having the same problem that ThomasB indicated above two years ago. I use library(WRS) and receive no error, but then R tells me that it "could not find function 't2way'" when I try to run the code. Is there any issue with the install files?

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
The owners of Doctor "D" Autocare are celebrating five years of doing business in Brookings by offering a new discount program called "D" dollars to show customers their appreciation.
Laurie and Ken Podesta-Daniels have been in the auto repair business in Brookings for five years. The Pilot/Evelyn Cook
"It's our way of giving back to the community. This town has been amazing to us," said Laurie Podesta-Daniels who owns and operates Doctor "D" Autocare along with her husband, Ken Podesta-Daniels.
"Ken has always wanted to have his picture on money, so we're giving out Doctor 'D' dollars with his picture on them," she said.When customers spend more than $50, they'll receive Doctor "D" dollars worth 10 percent of what they spent. Those "D" dollars can then be used to help pay for future automotive work done at Doctor "D," Podesta-Daniels said.
Doctor "D" Autocare opened in Brookings in February 2006, and is located at 614 Memory Lane, near the Brookings post office. The phone number is 541-469-3204.
Ken and Laurie Podesta-Daniels are originally from Sacramento, where Ken had his first shop. The couple met when she brought him a car that needed fixing. They married in 1973. Since then, they've produced six children who've added seven grandchildren to the family, she said.
The couple ran a large auto shop in Elk Grove, Calif., for 16 years before relocating to Brookings.
"We're a mom and pop shop, run by just Ken and me and our adopted daughter, Kristen Purdy. Ken works on the cars, I do the marketing and public relations, and Kristen runs the office," she said.
"The 'D' Dollars are new, but we still have our oil change coupons that give customers discounts," she said.
The main goal of Doctor "D," she said, is to stand out as an honest, reputable, full-service auto shop that can fix any type of vehicle no matter what make, model, or year – foreign or domestic.
"Ken has been fixing cars for 40 years. He can do everything from installing a new windshield to rebuilding your engine, and everything in between," she said.
"He does extended warranties and insurance work, and specializes in high-performance vehicles, diesel engines and Cadillacs. He's ASE certified, a master mechanic and a master technician.
"If Ken can't fix your car right, he doesn't want to fix it at all," she said.

A couple of months ago Renyi Liu and Howard Ochman described a series of gene duplication and divergence events that could have been responsible for evolution of the core proteins in the bacterial flagellum (source). I pointed out at the time that Nick Matzke thought there were serious flaws in the paper (source). Nick now points out that Liu and Ochman have published a correction to the paper. They conlude that the errors "do not affect the conclusions of the article".
As I said in my earlier post, this debate is well outside my field of expertise, so I'm not going to try to evaluate the arguments. I am disturbed that the correction leads the authors to find 70 flagellar core proteins with matches instead of 24. I've never used Bl2seq (the program Liu and Ochman used to find sequence matches), but a nearly three-fold change in the number of hits makes me uneasy about the whole analysis.
But the uncertainty about these results doesn't disturb me. Uncertainty is the bread and butter of scientific research. As Natalie Angier puts it in "The Canon" (a great book, by the way):
Science is uncertain because scientists really can't prove anything, irrerrfutably and beyond a neutrino of doubt, and they don't even try. Instead, they try to rule out competing hypotheses, until the hypothesis they're entertaining is the likeliest explanation, within a very, very small margin of error – the tinier, the better.1
Let me repeat what I said last time:
Matzke's critique illustrates what makes evolutionary biology a science. Liu and Ochman present data and analyses in favor of their hypothesis – that "core components of the bacterial flagellum originated through the successive duplication and modification of a few, or perhaps even a single, precursor gene" &ndash, and Matzke disputes their hypothesis by bringing different data and different interpretations to the table. Ultimately, the dispute will be settled by further analyses and new data. This dispute illustrates the process of successive refinement through which scientific knowledge accumulates.
As P.Z. Myers points out, this is quite different from how creation "scientists" behave, whether they be young-earth creationists, old-earth creationists, or new-fangled intelligent design creationists. They never do any of their own research. They never produce any of their own data. Their ideas never spawn new investigations. They merely misunderstand (or misrepresent) the data that scientists produce.

You can rest easy, Utah Jazz fans, because former Utah Utes basketball coach Jim Boylen is no longer a candidate for the Jazz head coaching position, according to Deseret News beat writer Jody Genessy. Considered early on to be the front runner for the Jazz for Tyrone Corbin, Boylen carried some bad mojo with him when he left this state after a tumultuous run with the Utes.
Although nobody seems to know why Boylen wasn't in the hunt as the search for the Jazz head coach appears to be reaching a climax, there are a few indicators. One is that he's never been an NBA head coach. While that doesn't necessarily preclude him from being in contention--three other finalists for the Jazz coach don't have any NBA head coaching experience, either--it does carry some weight.
That ties in to the second reason: lack of continued success in college. Boylen only had one head coaching stop during his career, and that was at Utah where he went 69-60 overall in four seasons. Of those four years, Boylen's teams made the postseason twice--but failed to even get above .500 in his last two seasons at Utah.
Another tell-tale indicator is that when Boylen left and Larry Krystkowiak entered, so did most of the players that Boylen recruited. Among the notables who exited from the Utes program were Marshall Henderson (now at Ole Miss), Will Clyburn (Iowa State) and J.J. O'Brien (San Diego State).
Some stayed when Coach K arrived, but there weren't many who did. If you don't believe that the fiasco Boylen created didn't enter into the minds of Jazz brass, here's some swampland in Arizona for you.
The last thing Jazz brass wants is for some loud-mouthed, boisterous coach to come in and cause trouble. Which is why it's maddening that they're even considering former Missouri coach Quin Snyder, the same guy who left the school in a quagmire of minor NCAA violations before becoming a successful NBA assistant for several teams. Like Boylen, Snyder also has no head coaching experience in the NBA. That said, Snyder has never coached in Utah so that might have given him a leg up on Boylen.
The second finalist is Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin who was a defensive specialist under Tom Thibodeau. The third is Alvin Gentry, a veteran NBA coach with loads of experience, plenty of head coaching inquiries from several teams and a not-so-sterling but not too shabby 335-370 record.
The fourth finalist for the Jazz head coaching vacancy is a bit of a mystery, according to Genessy, but it probably won't be for long because it appears your Utah Jazz are finally heading down the home stretch as it zeroes in on its next head coach.
