The high-density, ceramic-based thermal compound specifically designed for modern high-power CPUs and high-performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions. The Evolution of Cool.
Céramique uses a high-density layered composite of five unique shapes of thermally conductive aluminum oxide, boron nitride and zinc oxide sub-micron particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer in micro to moderate bond line situations. This exclusive combination provides performance exceeding most metal based compounds.
Céramique does not contain any silicone. The suspension fluid is a proprietary mixture of advanced polysynthetic oils that provide superior performance and long-term stability. During the system's initial use, the heat from the CPU lowers the viscosity of the compound to enhance the filling of the microscopic valleys and ensure a minimum bond line between the heatsink and the CPU core. Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 100 to 300 hours of use to its final consistency designed for long-term stability.

We'll be back, says Zabaleta
- 28 April 2013 08:06
- Posted by @mccarthy_mcfc
Fans favourite Pablo Zabaleta has already stated City's intent for next season, declaring that the Blues will do everything in their power to reclaim the Premier League title.
The Argentine defender was speaking to Sky Sports News following yesterday's 2-1 win over West Ham.
"Zabaleta hopes Manchester City will come back stronger next season after surrendering the Premier League title to Mancheter United," the website reports.
"City beat West Ham 2-1 on Saturday in their first game since being officially dethroned as champions, with Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure on target before Andy Carroll's late consolation.
"But Zabaleta was left to reflect on what might have been, and blamed inconsistency for finishing behind Sir Alex Ferguson's men."
Elsewhere, The Daily Mail picks up on a 'touching tribute,' paid to former City and West Ham player Marc-Vivien Foe by both sets of fans at yesterday's game.
"The club showed an image of Foe, who played for both City and the Hammers, on the electronic boards in the Etihad after 23 minutes and fans of both clubs joined in a minute's applause for the Blues' former No 23," writes Alex Horlock.
"The Cameroonian collapsed during the Confederations Cup semi-final against Colombia on June 26, 2003 and passed away shortly afterwards despite attempts to resuscitate the 28-year-old.
"The idea to applaud on the 23rd minute originated from City fans themselves, with supporters airing their views for the best way to tribute Foe on club forums."
Finally, the inclusion of Manchester City ladies in the newly restructured Women's Super League has been hailed as a huge milestone for the club.
"Manchester City Ladies are set to make their top-flight debut, after the Women's Super League was expanded into two tiers," writes Paddy von Behr of mancunianmatters.co.uk.
"City currently play in the Premier League – the division below the WSL – but have been promoted as a result of the re-structuring.
"The expansion is part of the Football Association's five-year plan to develop women's football into a much larger sport."

Letters to the Editor
The Washington Post
1150 15th Street Northwest
Washington DC 20071
Dear Sir:
Your August 12 editorial 'Arabian Shame' performs a great disservice to Saudis by drastically understating the amount of assistance Saudi Arabia gives to the people of Sudan. The Kingdom has always been in the forefront in overseas development assistance. Over the past three decades, Saudi Arabia's foreign aid has averaged about 4 percent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), well above the official United Nations goal of 0.7 percent.
In addition to the $3 million donated to the United Nations' Darfur campaign last year, Saudi Arabia contributed $10.7 million in August 2004 for food and medicine to be distributed to the region's displaced through the Saudi Red Crescent Society. This supplemented an ongoing stream of humanitarian relief that has included supplying power generators, drilling wells for clean water, setting up a fully-equipped 200-bed field hospital and a number of clinics, and dispatching a Saudi medical team to provide urgent health care to the displaced people of the region. Most recently, in April 2005, the Kingdom sent 40 tons of medical equipment and foodstuffs to support the displaced and needy in Darfur. Since last summer, Saudi Arabia has dispatched forty-six aid planes to western Sudan.
Besides relief assistance specifically for Darfur, Saudi Arabia has consistently given emergency relief aid to Sudan when it has been afflicted by flooding, as happened in 2001 and in 2003.
I hope you will consider these facts in future commentaries on the tragedy in Darfur. In the meantime, we will continue to join others from around the world to help our Sudanese neighbors.

Memory specialists Kingston may be moving to purchase a share of SSD controller supplier JMicron in the near future. Kingston, which already uses JMicron controllers in their SSD lineup, was reportedly brought into the deal after an investment partnership with Toshiba went south.
Kingston accounted for 30% of JMicron's controller shipments in 2010, with Kingston expanding its lineup of SSDs between 64 and 512GB. A meeting was scheduled for the 25th according to sources, but nothing further has been officially released at this time.

Freshman Nikolai Gall
June 27, 2013
By Tyler Wooten
Former Saluki Bianca Stuart (Bahamas) and freshman Nikolai Gall (Barbados) will compete at the IAAF World Championships and Pan-Am Junior Athletics Championships both in August, respectively.
Stuart, a long jumper for the Bahamian national team, will compete in both the World Championships in Moscow (Aug. 10-18) and the Central American and Caribbean Athletics (CAC) Senior Championships, held July 5-8 in Michoacan, Mexico. Stuart -- who competed for the Bahamian national team at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London -- qualified for CAC in the long jump at 6.61m and the earned the "B" standard for the World Championships at 6.67m.
Gall, a current Saluki freshman and reigning MVC outdoor 400 meter dash champion, will run in the Pan-American Junior Athletics Championships in Medellin, Columbia (Aug. 23-25) for the Barbados national team. Gall's qualifying mark in the 400 meter dash came from his winning time at the MVC Outdoor Championships on May 12 of 47.55 seconds. Gall will join fellow Saluki freshmen Josh Freeman (shot put) and Brandon Shemonia (10,000 meter run) -- both of Team USA -- in Columbia.

Forget the Republicans. It's the president who sets the agenda, and who ultimately is held accountable for America's successes and failures.
What are the true patriots of the U.S. of A. to do when a bona fide Muslim-sympathizing, Constitution-shredding president signs a mysterious and probably anti-American "executive order" granting sinister "privileges, exemptions and immunities" to the France-based International Police Organization—aka Interpol?

Putting a point on how his administration's labor policies differ from his predecessor's, President Barack Obama on Friday signed three executive orders designed to support organized labor. Vice President Joe Biden followed up by saying "Welcome back to the White House" to labor representatives at the signing ceremony.
Making good on his pre-inaugural pledge, President Barack Obama signed an executive order to close the Guantanamo Bay prison within a year—and that was just one of three orders he inked Thursday, signaling a significant break from Bush-era "war on terror" policies.

We'll see how long he's able to keep this up, but at least for the immediate future, Barack Obama is aiming to keep lobbyists at bay, issuing strict guidelines for his transition team that Obama aide John Podesta described Tuesday on a conference call to reporters.

For all the talk of checks and balances, the president has sweeping powers. Barack Obama is expected to demonstrate that by quickly reversing as many as 200 of President Bush's executive orders after taking the oath of office Jan. 20. The president-elect has reportedly had scores of advisers working on the matter for months.
A secret executive order signed by President Bush grants U.S. military forces "carte blanche" to launch counterterrorist operations inside Pakistan. An attack last week under the auspices of the unprecedented July order is raising concerns: Pakistani officials declared the operation illegal, and international analysts fear an escalating conflict could start a regionwide war.

Reginald Foresythe: The Melancholy Clown
The Melancholy Clown
The New Music of Reginald Foresythe
The New Music of Reginald Foresythe (BVHAAST CD 0307)
Reginald Foresythe (piano, leader), Benny Goodman (clarinet), John Kirby (bass), Gene Krupa (drums),
Johnny Mince (clarinet), Toots Mondello, Hymie Schertzer (alto saxes), Dick Clark (tenor sax), Sol Schoenbach (bassoon).
Composed & arranged by Reginald Foresythe.
Recorded: New York, January 23, 1935
Rating: 85/100 (learn more)
Britain's Reginald Foresythe is little known today, but there were many musicians of stature who either collaborated with him or admired him during the 1930s and '40s on both sides of the Atlantic. His interesting compositions were played by Earl Hines, Paul Whiteman and Louis Armstrong. These syncopated little miniatures remind us that there were other composers besides Raymond Scott who wrote music to be played by jazz musicians that could not really be considered jazz, albeit they might sometimes feature improvisation.
I guess to illustrate the two conflicting emotions of a melancholy clown, a rhythmic figure is established by the clarinets at the start of the piece, but when the melody comes in two bars later, it is played in another key, creating an unsettling mood. That mood is suddenly broken by both clarinetists trading 8-bar solos, first Goodman, then Mince. (Interestingly, they would also trade solos 25 years later on Arthur Godfrey's radio show when Goodman was a guest and Mince was part of the house band.) The ensemble then takes over again, building on the musical material behind the soloists. Foresythe plays what sounds like a written solo while the bassoon plays figures behind him. Clark also solos, and then after some development, the piece recaps as it began, finally winding down with a strange chord and a last utterance from the bassoon.

Inferring, questioning, determining importance. It's not easy to explain these abstract reading strategies to elementary readers, yet knowing how they work and how to use them is an important first step to connecting with texts. Fortunately Tanny McGregor has developed visual, tangible, everyday lessons that make abstract thinking concrete and that can help every child in your classroom make more effective use of reading comprehension strategies.s"Comprehension Connections" is a guide to developing children's ability to fully understand texts by making the comprehension process achievable, accessible, and incremental. McGregor's approach sequences stages of learning for each strategy that take students from a fun object lesson to a nuanced and lasting understanding. Her lessons build bridges between the concrete and the abstract by incorporating writing, discussion, song, art, and movement into a web of creative connections that reinforce each strategy on a variety of levels. All the while "Comprehension Connections "offers an inside look at the dynamic of McGregor's teaching, showing you how her ideas look in action, and including the language she uses and that she encourages her students to use as they build their facility with: schema inferring questioning determining importance visualizing synthesizing.sMany students struggle to understand what it is they are supposed to do as they learn to read strategically. Help them make connections to the ideas behind reading and watch as your readers go deeper into texts than ever before.

Christine Mulcahy, 23, of Fairport, was indicted on Thursday in the deaths of her two horses for not providing food, water, and shelter reports whec.com Rochester. Necropsy results from Cornell University determined the horses named Stormie and Gunner died of starvation.
Wayne County Sheriff's deputies made the gruesome discovery last week while searching for a missing person. Authorities thought the barn had been abandoned, but when they entered, they found a dead horse in a manure filled stall with no bedding, food, or water. Another dead horse was found lying in a nearby field.
Mulcahy told authorities she loved her horses but was unable to care for them. Wayne County District Attorney Rick Healy stated,
"I don't accept that, and I don't buy that statement."
Responsible horse ownership involves the purchase of hay, grain, and bedding. Farrier services are needed every six weeks, dental work may be required annually, and vaccinations can be as often as every few months. Then there are the buckets, halters, saddles, and blankets needed. While considering if horse ownership is a fitter, one must also keep in mind the expenses incurred if the horse gets sick; colic treatment and/or surgery can run into thousands of dollars.
According to Syracuse.com, a third starving horse was found, but is expected to recover.
Mulcahy has had previous charges of starving horses dating back two years. She has pleaded not guilty. If found guilty, Mulcahy could face two years in jail.

setting. When you want to change, just restart the game and do
it again under a different difficulty setting.
Hint: Hangar: Headstone Harry:
When you first skate down you will see an old fashioned
airplane. Skate around it and you will see Headstone Harry from
the New Jersey level.
Hint: Hawaii: Venice level bonus:
In Hawaii, you can unlock the Venice level from Tony
Hawk's Pro Skater 2. From the large hotel you start at, follow
the main road all the way around in either direction. When you
find the strip of buildings that are opposite on the map from
the hotel, you will find a large tiki head. Alternately, go out
the front doors of the hotel and through the plaza all the way
out the other side. Jump inside the tiki head's mouth to find
a secret area. Skate down the tunnel until the end and boneless
into the air to grab the unlock for the Venice level.
Note: Think of the map as a square. If the beach is at the bottom,
the tiki head is on the top side of the map. It is much easier
to get inside the tiki head's mouth if you dismount your board
Hint: Hawaii: Secret tape:
Climb the hotel that you start at. Get to the roof
and to the right of the pipe on the right is the side of the building.
Grind that ledge onto the wire to get the secret tape.
Hint: Hawaii: Walllows hidden goals:
From the start, go to the front of the gift shop (International
Trinket Place). Once there, go left until you get to the end of
the shop then go right. Keep going until you get to the end of
the street. Once you get to the end, go left until you reach to
three way intersection, then go right again. As soon as you get
to the end of the street by the two cars, go off the ramp and
spine transfer when you land. At the bottom of the screen where
the name of the trick is displayed, it will read "Spine Transfer
+ Welcome To The Wallows". There you will find two goals.
Joe Computer.
Hint: Hawaii: Secrets:
A secret area is found near the "Off The Walls"
mission. Go to the evil tiki, then turn left following the road.
Turn right when you get over the speed bump and you will get to
a quarterpipe that says "Dead End". Spine transfer over
the quarterpipe and you will get a gap that says "Welcome
to Wallows." There is not much to do here, but there is a
mission. If you jump up into the lawns, it sometimes says something
like "Chihuahua Death!"
Hint: Hawaii: Smoking tiki manual:
Find the evil tiki where the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
2 bonus level can be found. Get on top of that tiki. The easiest
way to do so is to get off your board and jump on top. Once on
top, remount your board, but at the same time hold the Analog-stick
Back so you do not move anywhere. Then, perform a manual
on top of the tiki. The longer you hold it, the more smoke will
start leaking out the top. If done correctly, you will hear a
sound resembling scraping wood.
Hint: Hawaii: Last mission:
Go around to the pool and look next to the vending
machine for a door. It is an instant teleport to the roof. Note:
You may need to first climb up to get the secret tape on the wire.
Hint: Hotter Than Hell: Secret tape:
Get KISS once to unlock the video, then get it again
to get the concert to start. When they are playing, use the doors
on either side of the door that you can go through to the other
side of the level. It will take you to the top of the level. You
will see the secret tape in the air in front of you.
Make your way up onto the catwalks, where they cross over the
Kiss stage. Jump down off of the catwalk and onto the top center
part of the stage. Then, grind on the ledge that raises up near
the center. When you reach the last part that it rises, jump and
you will fly up and grab the tape. Once you land, you also will
get the gap.
Hint: Hotter Than Hell: Freak show:
Go behind the KISS stage to find a Freak Show stage.
You will see things such as a human head, a man sticking swords
down his mouth, a woman with a cinder block on her stomach, and
a man with a sledge hammer.
Hint: Hotter Than Hell: 10,000 point gap:
Find the Go-Kart. Drive the Go-Kart around until you
find a huge ramp that goes over the center of the level. Drive
off it as fast as possible and you will clear a gap that gives
you 10,000 points.
Hint: Hotter Than Hell: "S" letter:
When you are spelling the "S" for "KISS"
and must go through the flames, there is a little skate pipe on
stands under it. You will see that there is a ramp in the middle.
Go up the ramp, then it goes up with you. When you go down, it
stays up. Skate down it into the skate pipe, then jump through
the flames and get the letter.
Hint: Hotter Than Hell: Different song
played by Kiss:
Collect all the K-I-S-S letters. When they start to
play, go to "Sound Options" and choose a custom soundtrack.
The song will start to play, and it will look as if Kiss are playing
the song.
andrew hawk.
Hint: Manhattan: Secret tape:
When you start, go down the street to the left of the
worker with the jackhammer . At the end of the street is a lit
up billboard with a ladder. Climb the ladder, then jump and grab
the ledge. The tape is there for the taking.
and Chris.
Hint: Manhattan: Hitch a ride:
When skating in Manhattan, it is possible to ride in
the back of the DC trucks driving around the city. Skate behind
one and jump into the back when you get a chance. Doing so will
allow you hitch a ride around the block.
Hint: Manhattan: Leeds United logo:
Skate over to the Brooklyn Banks. Look on the wall
near the cars and you should see the Leeds United logo that the
team use on their shirt.
Hint: Manhattan: Hidden area:
There is a secret location in an alley between 78 Water
and the Waterfront. There will be a bump in the alley. There is
a ladder. Get off your board and climb it. When you get up that
one, there will be another one, but not as big. Climb that one
and there will be four roof transfers.
Michael Madden.
Hint: Moscow: Secret tape:
Go to the semicircle at St. Basil's (the building with
a lot of spires), get off of your board, and walk up the ramp
on the building. Next, jump and pull yourself up the wall. Get
next to the center spire and double jump onto one of the corners.
If done correctly, you will not slide down. Look up and you will
see a bridge connecting the center spire to another spire. Double
jump on the wall in front of you, move onto the bridge, and pull
yourself up. The tape is on this walkway.
Hint: Moscow: Hanger level bonus:
Find the place where there are a lot of tanks and a
building that reads "AEHNH". Stand in front of the building
to the left. Line your self with the brown ledge. Climb up it.
Stand on the brown ledge that you are about to grind on. If you
are in the correct location, to your left should be a tree and
straight ahead should be a big red building palace-looking thing.
Grind that ledge and jump toward the previous viewed window. You
should go down a ramp. Where the ramp is located, is a ramp that
goes up on the right, revealing the secret level as you went down
the ramp.
Martin Esterholm
and sk8teboarder128 !!!.
Stand in front of the AEHN building, then jump on top and go to
the left-most edge of the building's roof. Grind it going towards
the big red building. Jump through the window immediately in your
view. Inside is a room where the secret tape is located.
Hint: Moscow: Straight Outta Moscow goal:
When you get left behind in Russia, find Kalo (the
man who asked you to blind the cameras). He will give you a bag
and say that nobody can see you with it. This mission is frustrating
because of the nightvision goggles you have to wear. There is
a ladder near the pay phone where you start. Climb it and turn
right to find another ladder. Climb it, but be careful as a guard
will walk by. After he is away from you, get off your board. There
is another guard standing. Turn the camera and enable the "Moon
gravity" cheat. Climb onto the ledge. Turn yourself so that
you are straight with the statue in front of you. Jump once, then
push yourself forward slightly. You should be on top of the statue.
Jump over the guard and land back on the walkway. Walk all the
way to the right and there will be another ladder (which will
be flashing). Climb it then jump down into the quarterpipes. Walk
out onto the castle. Look down and you will see Aleksander waiting.
Jump down onto the ground and walk up to him.
In sick mode, at the end of the mission near Alexander if you
have time remaining, jump out of bounds. Most of the time you
will land near Alexander. When you land, go into a manual and
get to Alexander.
Hint: Moscow: Fatality! gap:
Ollie into the snowman's head to knock it off. Blood
and snow will squirt from where his head was located.
Glen Scott.
Hint: Moscow: Strange dialogue:
Go to the bowl with the glass on it and stand on the
star. Turn the music volume all the way down to hear a man talking
gibberish, and people cheering him.
At the start of the level, go to the area where there are a lot
of tanks. Go in front of the brown building that reads "AEHNH".
Go directly in front of the brown ledges. Get of your board (L
+ R) and climb the building. In front of you should be
a red palace of some sort. To your left should be a thin rail.
Grind the rail, then jump over the red wall. Then, you will see
a strange half sphere-like building. Spine transfer into the building
to break the glass windows. When you are in the building, stand
over the red star in the middle. Point the Right Analog-stick
Down at the star. You will start to hear cruel evil laughing.
Tony Brewin.
Hint: New Jersey: School level bonus:
In New Jersey, you can unlock the School level from
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Cross the bridge, then get on
top of the large building immediately afterwards. Shimmy across
the tall gate and pull yourself onto a ledge. It will be on the
ledge alongside a tall building.
Have the station area unlocked. Go to the station area and get
air off the middle quarter pipe in the back. You will see a floating
icon marked "Tony Hawk 2". Run into it and the School
2 level from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 will be unlocked.
Stanley Riddle.
An easy way to unlock the School 2 level is as follows. Go to
the roundabout near the train station, then grind the half pipe/ramp
on the left-hand side. Then, enable the "Moon physics"
cheat and grind around to just before you go under the little
roof. Jump up and when you land in the little roof, disable the
"Moon physics" cheat. Get off your board, then jump
up the ledge. Next, walk around to the School 2 icon. Alternately,
go into the train station then go to the ramp/half pipe underneath
the School 2 icon. Then, enable the "Moon physics" cheat
and jump up the half pipe/ramp to get the icon. Note: This may
require several attempts.
Hint: New Jersey: Drive car:
In story mode, after you complete the driving mission
in Jersey, go up to the car to drive it.
Hint: New Jersey: Secret tape:
Go under the bridge on the side that allows you to
do so. The tape will be floating there for your taking.
Dan Koch.
Hint: New Jersey: Funny messages:
Go to the station, then go down to the track area.
Turn down the music all the way and listen to the intercom. You
will hear messages such as, "Please step back from the track.
You may lose appendages", "If you miss your train, tough
luck", "Tickets will be void if not real", "Train
hoppers will be shot on sight", and many other funny things.
and Game-Freak.
Hint: New Jersey: Familiar pedestrians:
The pedestrians are all Ollie clones. Look towards
the house where the last goal ends, and Alexandr will be walking
around it.
Matt Catenacci.
Hint: New Jersey: Quacking ducks:
Search the line of houses across the street from the
drug dealer's house for a house with two dirt circles in the front,
with ducks propped up in the circles. Skate and run over any of
the ducks. They will drift along the ground. Every time the ducks
bounces off the ground, it will make a quacking sound.
Hint: New Jersey: Eric runs before car
In the "Save Eric" mission, press A
when it gets in the train lobby, when you see the car.
Hint: San Diego: Secret tape:
When you first enter the level, go straight ahead until
you reach the street. Follow the street until you get to your
first left hand turn. After this turn you will see a set of stairs
at the end of the road. Go to the top of the stairs and look directly
ahead. There is a concert-like building in front of you. On the
left upper side of that building, you will see the secret tape.
Use the quarterpipe on the lower level behind the building to
get up there. Then, just jump up the quarterpipe to get the secret
Hint: School 2: Unlock school building:
To unlock the blue doors that lead to a gym and pool
you must grind all the rail call rails. They are located at the
beginning of the level (the long rail with steps), the rail next
to the ramp that leads up to the courtyard, and the rail next
to the huge gap ramps. These were the same rails that were part
of a goal in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.
Instead of grinding all "Roll Call!" gaps, grind the
second one you see to the right. The rail you see will be there,
and once you grind the way down, you will hear a loud bump and
it will open.
Kyle Sogge.
Hint: School 2: Gary Coleman:
You can find Gary Coleman at the courtyard, walking
Hint: Slam City Jam: Secret tape:
Go to the vert ramp and get off your board. Climb up
onto the lights hanging from the ceiling and walk over to the
big four-sided television screen. Walk into it and the glass should
break. The secret tape will be inside.
The secret tape is in the Jumbotron. You have to grind the rail
that goes through it.
Hint: Slam City Jam: Tour title:
On the big half-pipe on the railing, it will say "Boom
Boom Huck Jam", which is Tony Hawk's tour title.
Simon yousoufov.
Hint: Slam City Jam: Music change:
Skate over to the judges table. There is a DJ turntable
just to the right of it. If you grind on this turntable, the music
will change to a new song. Note: Grinding the turntable is also
a gap.
Hint: Tampa: Secret tape:
Go to the small building to the left of the cop car.
Climb up the wire that is heading towards the tall building. The
tape is in between the gap of the building at the top.
Go down to the big skate park. Enter the room across from where
the contest was located and go through the chains. You will end
up on the road. Take a right and drive down to the end of the
road. There should be a house with a grind pole coming down into
one of the corners of it. Get off your board and jump onto it.
Get back on your board and ride up the big grind pole. Then, an
Indy or another move to fall through the hole between the quarterpipes.
You should fall onto the secret tape. If not, go off the jump
down there then jump up to it.
From the starting point, go forward until you reach a turn. Turn
left at the intersection and keep skating until you ride past
the 20 stare and the cop car. Hit the quarterpipe ramps next the
car park entrance and grind the pole to the left. Grind it all
the way to the top of the building. There will be two bowls on
the rooftop and a small gap between them. Spine down into the
small gap to find the secret tape.
Rian Prestwich.
Hint: Tampa: Goat:
There is a goat behind the strip club. Jump off your
skateboard (L + R) and walk behind the strip club.
There will be police and a goat there.
Hint: Tampa: Pole dancer:
Go to the the strip club. Get off your skateboard and
walk up the ramp on either side of the club. Grind on the ridges
on the edges of the bubble on top of the strip club. This will
cause the bubble to break. You can now get get to the top floor
of the club. Inside the room are two businessmen and a stripper.
There is also a little door in that same room. If you walk through
it, you will exit out of the front door and the message "Four
hours and four-hundred dollars later" will appear.
Chris O.
and SkatingPunk316.
Hint: Tampa: Collecting donuts:
When doing the goal where you have to collect donuts
for the cops, enable the "Moon gravity" cheat. It will
be much easier to move around and get over fences. Turn off the
"Moon gravity" cheat on Mission: Revenge, as you will
jump too far over the posters you have to grind.
Hint: Vancouver: Secret tape:
Start at the entrance of the stadium (where the parked
trucks are located, and where you get into the contest. From there,
look at the tape. You should see it above the glass dome behind
the subway-like spline entrance. Go down left from here and wait
for a vehicle to drive out of the tunnel. Skitch it towards where
you started from. Make sure you are on the left side of the car.
When you are about to pass the subway entrance spline, get of
the vehicle and spline the entrance from the side. This will launch
you across the dome into the secret tape.
Mario Cano.
Start from the stadium behind the limo and enable the "Moon
gravity" code. You can see the tape floating above the dome
on the right of the building in front of you. Move right towards
the hockey rink entrance that is covered by glass and has a pointy
curved roof. Face towards the tape, go up the pointy roofed part
and quickly Spine Transfer. You will end up landing on the side
of the pointy thing on top, making a gap like the Pagoda Gap.
Go down the quarterpipe and jump at the bottom of it before you
fall off the edge. You should be sent flying through the air towards
the tape. When you get near it, you can get off of your board
to make it easier to maneuver to the tape.
Hint: Vancouver: Play hockey:
Drive the leaf blower cart into the lower level in
the center of the city. There is a hockey rink located here. Drive
the leaf blower cart onto the rink and run into the puck. If you
get it in the net, "GOAL!" will appear on your screen.
Jordan Brudner.
At the location of the hockey ring, you will see the glass that
keeps people from getting in the ring. Grind on the glass so that
it breaks. Note: You may have to jump over the goals. When you
have enough speed, hit the hockey puck when you are supposed to
jump over it. It should make a goal if you hit it hard enough.
Hint: Vancouver: Red/blue goal gap:
Go to the ice hockey rink. Hit the puck into the goal.
Immediately when the buzzer sounds and "GOAL!" appears,
hit a grind on the goal. As long as you hit the grind during the
buzzing, you will get the gap. This is how you get both goals.
Larry Bates.
Hint: Vancouver: T.H.U.D. sighting:
Look at the back of the limo and you can see T.H.U.D.'s
Joe Gere.
Hint: Vancouver: Get flipped off:
Get the limo and go through the side door or get the
leaf blower and go in the middle of the hotel. Run over the busboy.
Back up and most of the time he will flip you off. If he just
shakes his hands, go out of the hotel then go back in and run
him over again. Back up and he should flip you off. If not, repeat
until he does.
shawn poff.
Hint: Tear Up Eric's Best Line:
On the final chapter in career mode, you will have
to keep up with Eric on his line. If you miss one of the 41, do
not start over. Go back and get it because he will wait for you.
Note: Enable the "Perfect balance" cheat.
Nathan Nicholas.
Hint: Skip last goal:
Play the game to the point where your character must
McTwist over the roof gap. Complete the goal in one attempt without
failing or restarting the goal. If done correctly, after the part
where you film your skate team video your character will knock
Eric out and steal the tape, thus completing the game without
having to do the last goal.
Hint: Switch tricks:
Riding switch is the opposite of what your rider is
used to. If you have a regular stance rider, then switch would
be the goofy stance for them, and vice versa. When you do switch
tricks, you get more points than what you would normally get for
doing it in regular/goofy form. For example, doing a Kickflip
(regular) results in 100 points, but a Switch Kickflip gets 120
points. It makes a larger difference on bigger tricks such as
sk8teboarder128 !!!.
Hint: Alternate tricks using pressure:
When you press L, you will switch into pressure,
or switch pressure (depending on if you are skating switch or
regular). Once in this stance, when you jump a trick will pop
up called "Pressure", and when you do a flip trick that
is just Up, Down, Left, or Right,
you will do a different trick from the usual pop shove-it, kickflip,
heelflip, and impossible. You will be able to do toe flips (Left),
180 flips (Right), and FS and BS 360 flips (Up and
Hint: Jump higher:
While off your skateboard (walking), when you jump
the first time, you can also jump a second time while still in
the air (if you keep tapping Jump). This is very helpful
for out of reach places. Note: You can only jump twice.
Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat and dismount your board.
You can jump onto any building using the double jump method.
Hint: Hold on trick:
Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat and go to
create-a-trick. For your first line, put in Front (or Back) flip.
Then, switch it to 180 degrees. This will make your skater flip
halfway. Set the duration between .4 and .7 seconds. On the next
line, put an Other>Handstand. Have him hold it. This will make
your skater flip halfway, get off his board, then hold on for
dear life. This looks good if you get enough air.
Hint: Pushoff manually:
To pushoff manually. go to the options menu and select
"Edit Controls". Then, turn "Autokick" off.
Hint: Boardslides and Lipslides:
By holding R or L to 90 degrees while
ollieing onto a rail, you can do a board/lip slide. To differentiate
between the two, a lipslide is when your back wheels go over the
object before you start the grind. In other words, if you are
on the left side of the rail and want to do a FS lipslide, hold
L to 90 degrees then grind (your back wheels will go over
the rail/barricade then you will grind). If you want to do a FS
boardslide, hold R to 90 degrees then grind (your front
wheels will go over the rail/barricade then you will grind). On
the right side, switch the L and R around and you
will do BS slides.
Hint: Double-tap grinds:
There are some grinds that you can do that require
tapping Y twice.
Nosegrind To Pivot: Press Up, Y(2)
5-0 Overturn: Press Down, Y(2)
Hurricane: Press Left, Y(2)
Salad: Press Right, Y(2)
Hang Ten Nosegrind: Press Upper-left, Y(2)
Crail Slide: Press Upper-right, Y(2)
Double Bluntslide: Press Lower-left, Y(2)
Darkslide: Press Lower-right, Y(2)
Hint: Extra points:
Do a trick off a vert ramp. Then, jump off your board.
While the timer is still going, do tricks on your feet for extra
Stephen Munschauer.
Slow down, do a manual, and keep on doing freestyle tricks. You
can also do the same thing during a lip trick. These can be extremely
useful for the competitions or just when you need a good score.
Ben Leith.
In story mode, you can create a move which you can never land.
Create your move and have it be more than two minutes. The longer
the move, the most points you can get.
Enable the "Perfect manuals" cheat. Do a manual and
press R and repeat until you have a lot of points multiplied
by a very high number. The longer you do it, the more points you
will get. Do not run your skater into a wall or he/she will either
fall or end the trick.
Hint: Getting to hard to reach areas:
During any time that you can set a restart from the
options menu (in game), you can use it to get to areas otherwise
impossible to reach. Ollie then pause game play before you start
coming down. Set a restart while in the air. Then, go to the restart,
quickly Ollie again, then set the restart at the top of the Ollie
again. By repeating this you will get higher and higher, and may
be able to access rooftops and ledges (if you are close enough).
Hint: Get up faster:
When you stack, and you are getting up, keep pressing
Ben Fleming.
Hint: New logos:
Unlock at least one secret skater. Then go to a level,
pause it, and there should be a new "Pause" heading.
Next, go to main menu and there should be a new T.H.U.G. heading.
There is a different heading for each secret skater.
Ben Fleming.
Hint: Easy competition wins:
Enable the "Perfect rail balance" cheat,
then go on a quarter pipe and do a lip trick. If done correctlym
your skater should stay in place until you press A. Note:
For first place, hold Trick until the point counter reads
over 120,000 (about three minutes).
Chuck Watson.
To get an easy win, just do a manual or lip trick then keep changing
your tricks. After awhile, end the trick. In just thirty seconds
you can get over 300,000 points, allowing you to get a 99 average
from all judges.
Hint: Easier game completion:
If you are stuck on the final mission, all you have
to do is complete a total of 96 missions to finish the game. In
order to unlock the bonuses, backtrack to an incomplete goal (for
example, the first chapter), and you will see the videos. This
works especially well if you are completing sick mode, considering
the final challenge has a considerably shorter period of time
to finish. Note: You must have completed the game once beforehand
to be able to skip it the next time.
When defeating Eric Sparrow at the end, enable the "Moon
gravity" code and get to the part where you have to jump
from the bridge to the wire. Once you have collected the icon,
switch it off then do the rest of the level.
Hint: Use any car used previously:
After completing any goal that you had to use a car,
you can find that car somewhere in that level as well.
Hint: Get skateboard back:
If you have completed any of the vehicle goals for
a level, and in the same level must do a goal without your skateboard,
start the goal and jump into the vehicle. While still in the car
(or other vehicle), restart the goal and you will have your skateboard
Hint: Scratched up deck:
Create your own deck or get any pre-made one. Grind
a lot with it by doing tailslides, noseslides, boardslides, and
lipslides. After grinding for so long, your board will wear on
the bottom and the picture will be all scratched up.
sk8teboarder128 !!!.
Hint: Lip balance:
Enable the "Rail balance", "Manual balance",
and "Skitch balance" cheats.
Hint: Strange expression:
When you do a Double Bluntslide, move the camera to
see the character's face. You will see an odd expression on the
face. However, this only happens on a few characters such as the
custom skater, Bob Burnquist, and Steve Cabellero.
Hint: Daisy:
When you are creating a skater, go to the "Pre-made
Skaters" option. Go down the list until you see the name
Daisy and choose it. It will be the same girl on the wall inside
of the bedroom. Also, the shorts that she wears are called "Shorts-Daisy".
Marshall's Main Man.
Hint: Customized skateshop board:
After you become a pro, go back to Peraltas skateshop
and choose any board. Then, go into Create A Deck mode. It will
have the graphics of the board you selected. You can put extra
graphics from the choices of pictures onto the skateshop board.
Ryan Micelotta.
Hint: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
The board used by T.H.U.D. is almost identical
to the board used by Ollie the Magic Bum in Tony Hawk's Pro
Skater 3.
Marshall's Main Man.
Hint: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
In the FMV sequence at the beginning of story mode
where Eric comes up to your window and tells you about Muska coming
to Jersey, you can see a Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 game box
sitting on the desk when you slam the drawer closed.
Hint: Back To The Future 2
After you complete the game in story mode, Gene
Simmon's board is the hover board used by Biff in Back To The
Future 2. Iron Man's board is the one that Marty uses.
Hint: Neversoft reference:
When you are creating your skater in the beginning
of story mode, look at the wall with the window that Eric shows
up in. Look at the wall with the shelf where the mini-TV with
the scramble and the booming stereo is located. You will see a
banner with the Neversoft name and logo. If you have trouble finding
it, it is at the top of the wall.

Glitch: Climb buildings:
Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat, then go
to a tall building. Get off your board and walk to the wall of
the building. Jump by pressing A. Keep tapping A
and your skater will repeatedly jump until he or she reaches the
Federico Pastor Funes.
Glitch: Drive on walls:
In any level (although easiest in New Jersey), drive
a usable car. Get some speed and drive to any quarterpipe that
is on or close to a wall. Immediately as you start to drive off
the quarterpipe, hold the handbrake and swerve right or left.
It will appear as if you are driving on a wall. In some cases,
you can even drive onto low-roofed buildings.
Greg D.
Glitch: Off The Walls:
After "Welcome To Wallows", go to the end
after you turn right, in between the quarterpipes. It will say
"Off the Walls" in white, and you will be in Off The
Walls. This only works from Wallows.
Glitch: Slow motion:
First, go to free skate and choose your skater. When
you choose your skater, it will zoom in and pop up with "Ready",
"Edit Tricks", and "Select Difficulty" options.
Choose "Select Difficulty" and set it to "Too Easy".
Then choose a level and play. You also have to go to start and
turn on the cheat "Cool Specials". When you are in a
grind, ollie up and do any special. Since it is on "Too Easy",
no matter what you will land it. Start grinding again. It should
stay blurry and slow motion-like. If you do not like the blurring,
press Start(2) so that you enter and exit the pause menu.
Then it should be in slow motion, but not blurry.
Corey Wolford.
After you completed all of the goals, enable the "Cool Specials"
cheat. Then, go to a rail or anything else you can grind on. Make
sure that the rail is long and straight. Start grinding on it,
jump, do a Kickflip Underflip, and start grinding again. If done
correctly you should be moving in slow motion. To go into fast
motion, go to any half pipe and do a Kickflip Underflip. If done
correctly, you will notice that your player is moving much faster
than their normal speed.
Kevin K..
Glitch: Fall next to river:
Go to the edge of town (the one without the train station).
Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat. Go up to the fence
and keep jumping. You must have to jump a lot of times for this
to work. When you have jumped the required amount of times, you
will begin to fall. When you are done falling, you will be next
to the river. There is not much to do here, but it gives you lots
of space for manual combos.
Glitch: Hangar: Stuck in corner:
Go down the ramp at the begging and grind the propeller
in the wall between the half pipe. Once you are inside, go to
the back or front corners of the wind tunnel. Note: You must enable
the "Moon gravity" cheat to do this. Jump up and get
stuck in the corner. Do not press Black. You will stay
there as long as desired until Black is pressed. You can
do grabs, flips, and other tricks while up there.
Glitch: Hangar: Stuck in air:
At the beginning, when you skate down a ramp you will
see a halfpipe on the right. Go into it. If you catch enough air
off the halfpipe, your skater will be stuck in the air until you
press Black (to get off your board). If you do enough tricks,
you will get a huge combo out of it.
matthew sanders.
Glitch: Hawaii: Fall through ground:
After starting your own team, do seven or more missions
with one skater per mission. Go to the Hawaii Spine mission. Press
A after the first subtitle appears, then a skater should
start doing what you are supposed to do. Watch him skate through
the whole thing. When he does the second to last spine he should
fall straight through the ground and you should hear Evil Tikis
Daniel Wandin.
Glitch: Hawaii: Return to level from a
Skate around until you find a tiki torch that has its
mouth open. Build up speed and jump into the tiki's mouth. You
will be sent into a tunnel that hurls you downward until you hit
the lava. You will then return to the Hawaii level.
Glitch: Hotter Than Hell: Lip trick in
Find the two-story half pipe with the mechanical quarter-pipe
that goes up to the second floor when you skate on it. Next, go
onto the mechanical part, and as soon as you launch off of the
ramp, execute a lip trick. If timed correctly, the mechanical
ramp will stay down, and you will be doing a lip trick in mid-air.
Glitch: Manhattan: Strange noises in car:
Go to Manhattan in story mode. If you have completed
the goal where you can ride in the car afterwards, go to the now
unlocked car. Drive around until you see a woman on the side of
the road. Hit her head on, but from the driver's (left) side of
the car. After you hit her, stop. You should see your skateboard
fly out from under the car, then hear your character keep falling
Glitch: Manhattan: Warp:
Climb on the ceiling of the building that has two billboards.
If you are in the correct position, you will see two billboards
and a bridge (that you cannot climb) in front of you. To your
left will be a bridge that you can climb) and on your right will
be a big building. Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat and
get off your skateboard. Start jumping on either of those two
billboards. Keep jumping, hitting your head on the billboard,
then you will warp to another zone in that level.
Lex Leite.
Glitch: Manhattan: Skate or manual on walls:
To the left of the Radio City building is a wall with
a quarterpipe. Ride on the quarterpipe and at halfway, turn left
or right. You will be skating on the wall. If you press Up
+ Down (Manual), you can manual on the side of the
Greg D.
Glitch: Manhattan: Leave level boundary:
When you start, get up on to the freeway. Once there,
go to the right, where the tunnel is located. Then, enable the
"Moon gravity" cheat. Start to wall jump up the white
wall above the tunnel. Once you reach the top, you will land on
it. Then just wall off the back of the roof. You should land on
a street. There are 2D buildings and the end of the level (the
sky on the ground). Just up the street are the two cops that guard
the two barriers. You cannot pass them.
Cody Rasmussen.
Glitch: Manhattan: Skate in mid-air:
Near the Brooklyn Banks is the "WP Building"
(which you can enter). Instead of entering it, go to the back
of the WP Building, where the escalators are found. Enable the
"Moon gravity" cheat. Wall jump up the building but
stay close to the far left or you will break though windows. Make
sure you reach the very top until it looks like you are not wall
jumping on anything. Your skater should eventually fall though
and land in mid-air inside the WP Building. It will be as if the
roof was invisible. This is a good place to hide in the game of
Tag or King.
Cody Rasmussen.
Glitch: New Jersey: Looking down from the
Go where you meet Eric at the beginning of the game.
If you are looking in the correct direction, you will see sets
of houses on the left and the sewage dumps in front of you. Go
to the set of houses on the left and start double jumping on the
top. Note: Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat to double
jump. Keep jumping until you fall into the house. You will see
a big hole. In that hole, you will see the sky. It is almost as
if you are looking down from the clouds.
Glitch: Tampa: Get in early:
There is a way to get into the Larger Skate Park before
the big competition, but it takes some time. Line yourself up
with the actual door to get in. You will see Eric go through it
during the intermission sequence. On the edge of the door is a
thick metal "border" that goes around it. Hold A
and skate into the metal border of the door. This is easier when
done on the left side. Once you hit the border of the door, you
should go through it. You can now practice for the big event.
Daniel Wandin.
Glitch: Tampa: Floating skater:
Get the police car and go to the Wet Beavers docks
in story mode. Get eaten by the alligator, and where you restart,
behind you is a barrier and a wall. Go between the space. If done
correctly, you should be able to float. Do not go too far out
or it will restart.
Shayne Allison.
Glitch: Vancouver: Get behind stadium:
Enable the "Moon gravity" code and go to
the gate on the right side of the stadium. Wall Jump up the invisible
wall. You will land on the other side of the gate and be able
to float while riding your skateboard in the dark gray areas.

Obama on EU Decision-Making
U.S. President Barack Obama made a sharp point today about the Europe Union: the bloc's multitude of institutions and its unwieldy decision-making procedures have hampered its response to the debt crisis.
There are 27 nations (17 in the euro zone). There's the European Commission, the European Central Bank, the European Parliament and now the European Financial Stability Facility.
"I mean there are a lot of institutions here in Europe," Mr. Obama said at a press conference after the G-20. "And there are a lot of meetings here in Europe as well," he added, calling the process "laborious" and "time consuming."
That drew a chuckle from the journalists in the audience, many of whom have spent the last two weeks attending summit, after council, after summit, watching euro-zone politicians try to grope their way out of the crisis. Yet another meeting of finance ministers is scheduled for Monday.
Many decisions require unanimity among the euro-zone governments. That gave tiny Slovakia and Finland the power in recent months to delay vital decisions intended to protect the euro zone.
It's arguably even more dysfunctional than the U.S. Senate, an institution with cumbersome decision-making procedures that Mr. Obama knows all too well.

Let me start off by saying I Love my LO with all my heart, and wouldnt give this up for the world, but I didnt know it was going to be this hard.
Just feeling sad these days. LO is 2wks old and he barely sleeps during the night (he will sleep for one good stretch of 3 three hours during the night and thats it), hates his bassinet and will only sleep on my chest or in his little bouncer, he is fussy and uncomfortable with his gas (pushes and grunts constantly) , he always wants to eat or suck on my breasts (won't take the paci), poops every half hour, and DH barely helps. Then I think about me going back to work in 4 weeks, how am I going to do all this when my LO is the way that he is? How am I going to do this for the next 18 years? All I want to do is cry sometimes. Sometimes thats all I do, especially at night.
I have talked to my DH, but things won't change. He has a hard time sleeping so he takes sleep meds which knock him out, so helping during the night is not gonna happen. During his days off, he does things around the house (which does help), but then he goes to the store, goes out to get coffee, just anything he can to get out of the house. I have to say "Do you wanna hold him?" I BF, so to have DH more involved, I started giving LO bottles of BM (he is a BF champ, this doesnt confuse him). And I have to ask him if he wants to give him the bottle.
I am just soo over whelmed. While I was pregnant, I tired to plan/ prepare for everything "LO is gonna sleep here, He is going to play in that, he is going to get changed there, etc..." I tried to prepare myself for the sleep-less nights, all the diaper changes, the little things, but when they are actually here it hits you like a ton of bricks.
How was I supossed to know that my LO wouldnt like his bassinet and only want to sleep in my arms? Or that DH wouldn't help as much? Or his gas would get the best of him and make him uncomfortable? Or that he was going to scream his head off everytime he had to be changed?
I LOVE my little guy with all my heart. And I smile every time I see his cute little face. I am just feeling over whelmed. Maybe its the sleep deprivation or the hormones. I hope things will get better. I hope that I am about to do all this.
Thanks for listening.. Sorry so long. Needed to get this off my chest.

Multitasking may be hazardous to your attention span. Researchers at Stanford University studied multitaskers, and found that those who do it the most are the ones who are worst at it.
The researchers divided 262 college undergraduates into two groups: high and low multitaskers. They compared such things as memory, ability to switch from one task to another, and the ability to focus on a particular task.
They found that people doing a lot of multitasking didn't score as well as others.
Communications Professor Clifford Nass of Stanford's says what it shows is the more media people use, "the worse they are at using any media."
The study's findings are reported in the latest edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Ceremonial Drill School Prepare for Parade Season
Marines.mil | Jan 20 2015
MARINE BARRACKS WASHINGTON D.C. (Jan. 9, 2015) – To make the parades at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C. happen, It takes many months of coordination.
Crowds see the ceremonial marchers, the hosting element, the United States Marine Band, the United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, and the Silent Drill Platoon. What is not seen are the countless hours each of the individual component puts in during the off season.
Ceremonial Drill School (CDS) is how the officers and staff noncommissioned officers of the Barracks learn their part in preparation for parade season. Without the parade staff executing perfect drill commands, the ceremonial mission of the Barracks cannot be met.
The school prepares the officers and staff noncommissioned officers for marching as the parade staff.
The three-week course teaches the fundamentals of marching, sword manual, voice commands and uniform preparation.
At the end of the course, the students perform an evaluation similar to a parade sequence. The evaluation is performed on the pristine parade deck of the Barracks.
"Everyone at the Barracks comes to watch the CDS evaluation," says GySgt Cedric Smith, the Barracks Drill Master. "So the CDS students are under a lot pressure."

Using Generics for Lookup Tables in Entity Framework
I'm working with a client at the moment on a system using legacy database with (wait for it) about 50 lookup tables in their database. We're using Entity Framework to access the database, so it's fairly easy to get the data out of these lookup tables.
However, I really don't want to write 50 methods to return lists for each of these objects. Thankfully, the solution is relatively simple – write a generic method to return the appropriate data.
Implementing this wasn't quite as easy as I thought, but I got there after a bit of experimentation and, I'll be honest, a fair bit of googling.
To demonstrate, let's look at an Entity Model with a subset of the AdventureWorks database.
In particular, look at the red outlined objects. These are likely to be referred to frequently throughout the application as simple lookup tables.
We want to write a single generic method that will return an IEnumerable of these objects so we can use them quite simply as lookup tables.
Here's what I ended up with:
AdventureWorksEntities adventureWorksEntities = new AdventureWorksEntities(); public IEnumerable<T> GetLookup<T>() where T : System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject { try { var key = typeof(T).Name; // 1. we need the container for the conceptual model var container = adventureWorksEntities.MetadataWorkspace.GetEntityContainer( adventureWorksEntities.DefaultContainerName, System.Data.Metadata.Edm.DataSpace.CSpace); // 2. we need the name given to the element set in that conceptual model var name = container.BaseEntitySets.Where((s) => s.ElementType.Name.Equals(key)).FirstOrDefault().Name; // 3. finally, we can create a basic query for this set var query = adventureWorksEntities.CreateQuery<T>("[" + name + "]"); return query.ToList(); } catch (System.Data.EntityException ex) { throw new ArgumentException("Invalid Entity Type supplied for Lookup", ex); } }
Now we can use the following code to return a set of all items of the appropriate type:
AdventureWorksRepository repository = new AdventureWorksRepository(); var states = repository.GetLookup<StateProvince>(); var addressTypes = repository.GetLookup<AddressType>(); var territories = repository.GetLookup<SalesTerritory>();
This has saved me countless hours of writing boring plumbing code.
Hopefully, some of you are already looking at this thinking, "couldn't I take this a lot further and provide a set of generic data access methods for everything?". The answer of course is yes. I haven't gone quite that far yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was down the track.

Miami Marlins: Manager Ozzie Guillen proposes interleague twist; reacts to Hickey death
(Posted by Coley Harvey)
Ozzie Guillen has a rather unique Interleague plan for Bud Selig and other major league higher-ups, if they're willing to pay attention.
The Miami Marlins manager said Wednesday he would like to propose a change in the current rules for using the designated hitter. Forget having the DH play in American League cities only. Every other year, they would hit in National League ballparks. During the years in between, pitchers would pick up the lumber in American League stadiums.
"I was in the American League, and when the National League team goes to the American League they take advantage because they don't have to (use) another player (on the roster)," said Guillen, the former Chicago White Sox manager. "But when guys go from the American Leauge to the National League, they're at a disadvantage because the pitcher hits."
Guillen's comments came two days before the Marlins are scheduled to play their first interleague game at Cleveland.
The reason Guillen said he didn't want to do away with the DH completely was because he felt that by casting it completely aside, players' jobs and livelihoods would be unnecessarily affected.
"If you take the DH away, you're going to take a lot of people's careers away," Guillen said.
When pressed about the fairness of his plan with respect to players who are currently signed by teams as primary DHs, Guillen said no such thing existed in baseball today.
"The true DH of the past, it's over with," he said.
Guillen considers Cleveland's Travis Hafner, the Chicago White Sox's Adam Dunn and Boston's David Ortiz the only "true" designated hitters currently in the game. When he managed the White Sox, Guillen joked that Frank Thomas and Jim Thome were no longer designated hitters who could also play first base. Their age made them more suited to be true DHs.
Although he proposed it to reporters off the cuff, Guillen doesn't seem to expect Comissioner Selig and others to take him up on his offer.
"I hope they listen to me," Guillen said, smiling as he looked into a camera.
"Why not? Give the American League people a chance to see the pitchers hit, and give the National League people a chance to see the DH," he added.
Asked about his plans for the DH when the Marlins travel to Cleveland, Guillen said Logan Morrison, Greg Dobbs and Austin Kearns are his candidates….
Like many with Chicago White Sox ties, Guillen was saddened by the news Wednesday that former White Sox reliever and assistant coach Kevin Hickey had died. He was 56.
The White Sox batting practice pitcher was found unresponsive in his Texas hotel room on opening day and had been transported to a nearby hospital. After several days there, he was transported to Chicago's Rush University Medical Center. He never responded.
"This man loved baseball. Loved baseball," said Guillen, who coached with Hickey before coming to Miami this season. "He enjoyed every minute he was on the field. A very hard worker."
Hickey was a Chicago native who never played high school ball, but was signed by the White Sox in 1978 after being spotted in an open tryout. The left-hander was used situationally by former White Sox manager Tony LaRussa when he pitched there between 1981-82.
Hickey only played five seasons. In addition to his short stint with the White Sox, he pitched for the Baltimore Orioles in 1989-91. He was 9-14 with a 3.91 ERA and 17 saves during his career.
After his playing days were done, Hickey coached with the White Sox, and was part of Guillen's 2005 World Series team.
"I think he died very happy, doing what he wanted to do," Guillen said. "The White Sox organization and Chicago people should be touched by this man. He loved the White Sox organization."

02-03-2006 and 28-05-2007. Every picture, made from the steering-wheel with the same camera settings, shows the end of each ride. This photobook gives an unique, objective impression of a contemporary and ordinary citylandscape. At the same time this book invites to reflect on the personal story behind the pictures. The world of a taxidriver has become visable in this 'Taxibiography'.

CSPI On Potential New Mad Cow Case

Additional Mad Cow Information
Statement of CSPI Food Safety Director Caroline Smith DeWaal
November 18, 2004
The inconclusive test result that may lead to a second finding of mad cow disease in the U.S. raises numerous questions about why the Bush Administration has delayed implementing promised protections against Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy.
Last December, the Department of Agriculture promised they would implement a nationwide animal identification program, but today there is no system in place to trace an infected cow back to its farm of origin. Last winter, the Food and Drug Administration promised to ban specified risk materials from all animal feed but the agency never finalized rules to accomplish this. Finally, there is no mandatory recall system in place if meat from an infected animal is sold to consumers. That's what happened last year when a BSE-infected cow was found in Washington state.
While there is probably no risk to the public, the lack of mandatory animal identification and mandatory recall, and the absense of a complete ban on specified risk material in animal and human food, leaves consumers and cattle producers vulnerable in many ways if the cow in question is found to have BSE.

The final installment for Cassandra Clare's Internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series, "City of Heavenly Fire" is now available. The book will be in bookstores when they open in the morning and can be downloaded on Kindle. As of now the book is not showing up on iTunes, an error which is upsetting many fans and I'm sure will be correctly shortly. However, the audiobook narrated by Sophie Turner and Jason Dohring is available for download on iTunes.
As when any new anticipated book is released please use caution when discussing spoilers. Be mindful of other fans and please do not spoil the story for others. I will not be discussing any spoilers on this site for two weeks.
While it is tempting (and I know I am doing so) to buy the ebook and start reading "City of Heavenly Fire" before the stores open, keep in mind that all first edition copies will have a special inside cover. Be sure and follow up on your pre-orders or purchase a physical copy of "City of Heavenly Fire."
