Nintendo held a financial meeting in Japan Thursday where president Saturo Iwata addressed the issues with the Wii U following the console's disastrous holiday performance.
While some have speculated that Nintendo may abandon the Wii U as a whole or just the Gamepad controller by itself, Iwata announced that the the company will focus on raising the profile of the controller. According to a series of tweets from analyst David Gibson and a liveblog from the Wall Street Journal, the Nintendo head admitted that the Gamepad is a major weakness.
Going forward, Nintendo will put a priority on games that will make the most of the Wii U Gamepad and plans to reveal titles that will take advantage of its NFC capabilities during E3. Additionally, the company is working on highspeed start up of the controller so that upcoming games like Mario Kart 8 can be played quickly without the TV.
Iwata also ruled out a price cut for the Wii U but did say that the Nintendo Network ID is important for the company to bring together users of both the handheld and home console.

Resigned Diamond - Bo Short
I received your email the other day and wanted to say hello. I also thought I would share some thoughts with you. I am writing to answer a couple of your questions. My only concern about this being published is that I am not looking to use this forum to promote my business and do not want it to appear so. Therefore, out of respect to the readers of your site, I would ask that you not mention the name of my company.
I was involved in the Amway/Quixtar business for approximately 11 years. About a year and a half ago I chose to resign my distributorship. I thought it would be improper to simply go "inactive" and continue to collect money (even though this was recommended by one of the corporate executives).
Let me first say that I met some wonderful people in the Amway business during my tenure. I spent countless nights working with people that were good, hard-working individuals. In fact, the overwhelming number of people I came into contact with seemed genuinely kind. The "brush" that many distributors are painted with is oftentimes unfair.
There were a number of reasons I chose to resign. The overwhelming reason was based on the fact that after 11 years in "the business" I did not see enough people succeeding. While I firmly believe in education and training, I do not see its value if it does not have a wider-reaching effect. While I believe in a training system, if it does not produce sufficient results...dismantle it. I felt that there was entirely too much emphasis on the training system as a "business" in itself.
I watched good, ambitious people start to blame themselves for their lack of success. Twelve years ago, I might have understood that argument, but a decade of experience taught me that there is more to it than that. One more meeting, one more plan, is not necessarily the answer. I believe there are fundamental flaws that are common within many network-marketing organizations. In my opinion, I do not think that this particular organization is exempt from many of those same flaws.
Having attempted to cause change in areas that I believed were needed, and failed, I found myself with only one option. Resignation. My loyalty was always to the independent business owners in my particular line of sponsorship. If I no longer believed that this business was going to accomplish what I was taught it would, then I could not represent it any longer. My loyalties were never to the small group of "success stories", but to the people that I had met in "living rooms" for the past 11 years.
Having gained a great deal of insight and experience in this industry I would offer the following: I believe that many mlm companies overprice their products, offer compensation plans that, while they may look lucrative, only pay out to a very small minority, and rely entirely too much on training as the "magic bullet".
I believe that if you offer people a "real" home-based business (so people do not spend their lives in convention centers and hotels), with a limited number of products (so people do not feel guilty for shopping at stores), price the products to compete with retails stores, and have a comp plan that puts the bulk of the money in reach of the average ambitious person's effort, then you cannot help but succeed. Additionally, I believe that ones individual efforts should not always be shared in the comp plan with their upline. That is why we instituted the Out-of-Plan compensation. Only the first $85 personally generated is put in the mlm compensation. Anything beyond that (monthly) is paid in the form of a 50% bonus directly to the associate. (Example: if you personally generate $250 in volume you receive a bonus check for $82.50; $250-$85 =$165; 50% of $165 = $82.50) I also believe that training should be at or near its cost...its real cost.
The compensation plan, products, and the experience itself should offer value to its participants. If it does not, it is not a "good deal".
Three important questions people should answer, who are involved in a mlm are:
I hope this has been helpful and clarified some of your questions. I wish you nothing but the best of luck. I look forward to speaking with you sometime. Do not hesitate to call.

Mystic Aquarium's African penguin chick, Blue Pink, is all grown up and ready to take the plunge into the Roger Tory Peterson Penguin Exhibit on Tuesday, May 1 at 11 a.m.
Hatched on January 28, many watched the chick grow up over the past three months on live webcam. At 94 days old on Tuesday, Blue Pink is fully weaned and ready to acclimate to the exhibit and the aquarium's penguin colony.
While penguin chicks tend to float very well, they must learn to dive and navigate using their wings and feet. Once the chick has honed its swimming skills, it will slowly be introduced to the aquarium's 27 other penguins and establish its place within the colony.
Mystic Aquarium's penguins are named by colors that represent numbers. As the 49th penguin to enter the aquarium's colony, blue represents the number four and pink represents the number nine. The chick's gender will be determined by a DNA test at approximately six months of age.
Pictured: Blue Pink on February 15 at 18 days old.

All Pikes Peak Reads 2013 - China Boy
Click here to review this book
Kai Ting is the only American-born son of an aristocratic Mandarin family that fled China during World War Two to escape invasion and civil war. Growing up in a San Francisco ghetto, Kai is caught between two worlds—embracing neither a Chinese nor an American way of life. After his mother's death, Kai is suddenly plunged onto the violent streets of his American neighborhood by his new stepmother, a Philadelphia society woman who is determined to erase every vestige of China from the household, even by physical force. This is the story of Kai Ting, torn violently between two worlds, but accepted in neither, and his ultimate fight for the peace in between as he discovers an enemy, a friend, and a set of mentors who have experienced far greater hazards than his own.
About Gus Lee
Gus Lee is the only American-born member of a Shanghai family. He grew up in San Francisco and attended West Point for three years until his failing performance in then-mandatory electrical engineering gave him the involuntary opportunity to become an enlisted man. After receiving his law degree from the University of California at Davis, he rejoined the army as Captain Lee and served as general counsel. He resumed civilian life to become a deputy district attorney in Sacramento, then served for some years as Director of Attorney Education for the State Bar of California. He is married and lives with his wife and two children in Colorado Springs. China Boy is his first novel.

Many consumers wonder if organic shampoo lives up to all the hype and the typically higher cost. Can it really be that much better than the cheapie brands? Yes, it can and you might be surprised by the reasons why.
Organic shampoo isn't just for rich folks or finicky brand snobs. The top three benefits of using organic shampoo have the potential to not only change your hair for the better, but change lives for the better, too.
No Synthetic Ingredients
In order for a shampoo to be granted the label of organic, the formula cannot contain synthetic ingredients like paraben, sulfates, and mineral oils. Why do you care? Because these synthetic ingredients could cause your body harm. You might not even be aware of the dangers until the damage is done.
Paraben, for instance, is a preservative that could cause issues in the endocrine system (hormone secretion into the blood stream) because it can mimic hormones like estrogen. Scientific studies have shown paraben to be a possible link to breast cancer, as synthetic estrogen has been found in high volume in human breast cancer tumors.
Sulfates are detergents added to body and hair care products to make them foam with more lather. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has reported that high percentages of sulfates absorbed into the skin could cause damage to human organs (like liver and kidney) and the nervous system.
Mineral oils are petroleum-based, which means this synthetic shampoo ingredient is made from the same source as the gas you put in your car. Need we say more?
Synthetic chemicals and detergents are easily absorbed by the skin on your scalp, face and neck. Choosing organic shampoo could help prevent possible serious skin disorders and even a major chronic disease over time.
Easier On the Earth
It stands to reason that an organic shampoo made with natural ingredients would naturally be better for the planet. Organic shampoos are usually formulated with a high percentage of botanicals like herbs, essential oils and plant-based active ingredients. A shampoo full of lavender oil or peppermint leaf is going to cause zero to very little damage to water and soil compared to shampoos full of isopropyl alcohol (very drying and found in antifreeze) and other synthetic ingredients that aren't biodegradable.
Every Being Benefits
Unfortunately, shampoos don't have to be cruelty-free (no animal testing) in order to be labeled organic but you can certainly help keep all animals healthier and safer by using organic grooming products. Natural ingredients absorbed into an animal's skin and through their bloodstreams (as a result of human usage) are better for their bodies, too.
Do note that there are many cruelty-free organic shampoos available. To scan the bar codes of your beauty products and find out immediately if they are cruelty-free or not, download the Cruelty-Cutter app from The Beagle Freedom Project.
Not all organic shampoos are created equal, of course, so experiment with several different brands until you find the one that makes your hair look great and the rest of you (mind, body and conscience) feel wonderful, too.

Two-time NBA champion Pau Gasol no longer seems to be the player the Los Angeles Lakers will most likely trade before the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 20. Jordan Hill has emerged as the one player that will be on his way out with the Cleveland Cavaliers emerging as a strong suitor for the journeyman according to ESPN's Marc Stein on Feb. 19:
Hearing now that Cavs have strongly emerged as team trying to trump BKN and acquire Jordan Hill from Lakers. Looks like Cavs & Nets for Hill.
Hill heading to the Brooklyn Nets appeared to be the most likely trade scenario with the team willing to shell out $17 million to acquire him. The Lakers would receive nothing in return for Hill, but the storied franchise likely won't get any compensation regardless with that being the motivating factor in getting a deal done before the deadline.
The Lakers have one motivation heading toward the NBA trade deadline on Thursday and that's saving as much money as possible in order to get under the luxury tax to avoid the repeater tax. With the Lakers no longer contending for a title or even a playoff spot at this point, shedding contracts and saving money is the smart way to go unless the team can land a big-name player.
With no real trade assets outside of Pau Gasol, landing a big-name probably won't happen this time around. Rumors have circulated about Kevin Love possibly being traded to the Lakers, but it remains unlikely the Minnesota Timberwolves are willing to do that for what they'll get in return from Los Angeles.
As for Hill, the veteran forward/center might have played his last game with the Lakers as a trade seems to be on the horizon. The Nets and Cavs will likely continue to battle it out for his services.

CLSA's Wood: Hong Kong's Command Economy
CLSA Asia Pacific Market's outspoken strategist Christopher Wood took aim at Hong Kong's property cooling measures in his weekly research note, likening them to mainland Chinese style "command" economy policies.
Mr. Wood, known for his candid opinions on markets and market regulation, showed particular distaste for the new stamp duty, which levies between 5% and 15% for properties owned for less than two years. The idea is to curb speculation in a market where prices have risen more than 40% since the depth of the financial crisis.
The laissez-faire loving Mr. Wood sees a more sinister motivation in Hong Kong's decision to use what he calls "these most arbitrary of measures." He thinks Hong Kong chose a stamp duty, which imposes a cost whether the value of the property rises or not, rather than a profit tax, because the territory is mimicking the mainland's top-down economic planning.
"For now the Hong Kong Government will not change course since it seems intent on currying favour with Beijing by introducing its own anti-speculation tactics more appropriate for a command economy like China's where there is no pretence at due process and the like," he wrote.
Mr. Wood noted real estate agents are up in arms over potential job losses as the stamp duty depresses transaction volume. This could eventually become a political issue, rather than simply an economic one.
"But when local politics in Hong Kong gets uglier as a seemingly inevitable consequence of these latest arbitrary measures, the Hong Kong Government may well find that Beijing is more concerned by the political issues stirred up than the problem posed by the Hong Kong residential property market where the fundamental problem remains not speculation but the lack of supply in an economy pegged to US dollar interest rates."

College Hockey:After 2: Maine 2, Michigan State 2
ST. LOUIS — With their top line of Josh Soares, Michel Levielle, and Keith Johnson clicking, the Black Bears led by two goals before this contest was five minutes old, making their first score just 23 seconds in.
Right after the opening faceoff and just 23 seconds in, Johnson gave Maine the 1-0 lead with a one-timer from the bottom of the slot. Soares fished the puck out from the right corner and passed out to a wide-open Johnson, who beat MSU goaltender Jeff Lerg low and right.
At 3:25, Johnson was instrumental on the second goal, when he sent the puck from the corner to defenseman Travis Ramsey at the right point, before Ramsey fed Soares between the circles. Soares shot up and over Lerg's right shoulder for the 2-0 advantage.
With the Black Bears outshooting the Spartans nearly two-to-one early in the opening frame, the contest looked to be all Maine, but scrappy play behind the Black Bear net gave MSU the opportunity to cut Maine's lead.
In a struggle for possession along the dashers, Spartan Chris Mueller came away with the puck and shot at the Maine cage, close to the right post. With heavy traffic around the crease, Maine goaltender Ben Bishop tried to get a glove on it but the puck went airborne and out of reach, and right back to the stick of Mueller, who hit it in from midair to cut the Black Bear lead to one at 7:25.
The Spartans came out with all the jump in the second, testing Bishop early and drawing the slashing penalty on Brent Shepheard at 1:24, but it took them another 16 minutes before they could tie the score.
Chris Snavely had the goal for MSU at 16:31. Snavely skated the puck across the Maine blue line and passed to Justin Abdelkader near the right dot. Abdelkader toyed with it momentarily before passing it back to Snavely, who wasted no time blasting it long from the top of the circle to beat Bishop clean on the far side, knotting the score at 2-2.
Both Bishop and Lerg did their parts during the middle 20 to keep the game close. With 6:30 to go, the Spartans — having learned how to score in the first with the Mueller's scrambly marker — penetrated the Black Bear defense and buzzed Bishop, allowing Tim Crowder to take a point-blank shot that Bishop barely had time to deflect to preserve the 2-1 lead.
Then, with less than a minute left, Lerg kept it tied, when he stopped Billy Ryan's one-timer from the right circle, moving from left to right to make the save.
Shots on goal through two: Maine 23, Michigan State 23.

After months of planning and waiting, Forth Worth now has a second food truck park as Cowtown Chowdown had its Grand Opening Weekend starting on Thursday and continuing through Sunday. I am going to refer to this location as "the Chowdown" to distinguish it from the first food truck park in Fort Worth. The Chowdown is located on North Main, north of downtown, south of the Stockyards. There were 17 trucks on the calendar for Saturday, although one left for another event before I arrived.
The trucks are set up so that four, including the Snoball Corral were on the side and the remainder were in a horseshoe shape around the perimeter of the property. Picnic tables were in the middle, some in the sun, some under a covering, with part of the covering being over an area for the band. Behind one side of trucks there is also a converted office area, with seating for those wishing to be completely out of the elements and there is a small covered table in the far back of the property.
Much had been made about the parking availability for the Chowdown, with talk of a parking lot and convenient street parking. My recommendation is to start with the street parking. The parking lot is very small, not necessarily in number of spaces but more importantly, in width and depth of the spaces. I, like many in DFW, drive a wide vehicle and going around the bends in the parking lot was tight. The driving and backing area is only one car width so it would have been extremely difficult to back out of a space and clear every other car. It is very much a "compact only" parking lot. I parked on the street, directly in front of the Chowdown with no problems.
I visited the Chowdown at 6:30 on Saturday evening, a time that I consider prime dinner time and was surprised at how few people were there. Several trucks had messaged me or posted on Facebook that the crowds were light on Thursday's opening and into Friday. However, I assumed Saturday would be different since there were 17 trucks. At 6:30, no truck had a line and food that was being ordered was coming out quickly. I posted on Facebook and several people posted that by 7:45, the attendance had picked up, slightly.
In the "something you don't see every day" category, those who were there during this time, did get to see a demonstration by The Fat Truck of how to make liquid nitrogen sorbet.
My first impressions of the park:
1. I love that Chowdown is on a main thoroughfare in Fort Worth.
2. I love that there is room for a large number of trucks. The website and brochures say room for 20. I'm going to question that, with the understanding that I have not seen the set up for 20. Having 16 was a good feel, I think 20 would be tight and the set up would to the detriment of those 4 additional trucks. However to have 16 trucks in one location, with several choices for every person in the family is amazing and is how food truck parks should be done, in my opinion.
3. All that concrete is going to be hot in July and August. There was a nice breeze while I was there, so it wasn't a problem to be out in the sun. The covering is nice but it remains to be seen how much heat the concrete radiates when its 100 plus degrees.
4. There needs to be recycling bins for cans and bottles.
5. As mentioned above, the parking lot did not live up to the hype. That said, parking on the street was not a problem.
6. More people need to visit the Chowdown and take advantage of the variety of food being offered. With most of the trucks working both Dallas and Forth Worth and with two parks in Fort Worth and one coming soon to Keller, there is going to be a lot of competition for these trucks and under the purest form of "supply and demand" the trucks are going to go where there is the highest demand.
Cowtown Chowdown is open seven days a week and a list of trucks schedule to be there on any particular day is posted on their website. If you are seeking a specific truck, be sure to confirm on that truck's Facebook or Twitter page; things frequently change with the truck schedules and the Chowdown calendar may not reflect last minute changes.

SPOILERS AHEAD for the final season of "Dexter".
One surprising thing that didn't happen in the series finale of "Dexter" was the ending that many expected - Dexter's death.
Producer John Goldwyn has now told Vulture that it wasn't the decision of the show's producers or writers, but rather a mandate from the network Showtime that he be kept alive.
"They won't let us kill him. Showtime was very clear about that. When we told them the arc for the last season, they just said, 'Just to be clear, he's going to live.'
There were a lot of endings discussed because it was a very interesting problem to solve, to bring it to a close. People have a relationship with Dexter, even if it doesn't have the size and the ferocity of the fan base for Breaking Bad. But it has a very core loyal following."

ANC to call for curb on platinum, iron ore exports
The ruling party is drawing up laws to force platinum and iron ore miners to sell "small amounts" of production to local processors at a discount.
Director general of the department of trade and industry Lionel October said the idea was to encourage more domestic metal processing and grow industries such as platinum fuel cell production and auto manufacturing in order to create new jobs.
"Our competitive advantage is access to the raw materials. That is why we must give access to the raw materials at developmental prices," October told Reuters.
"We are proposing amendments to the minerals Act that will give the minister the power, as a condition of the license, [to ensure] that a certain percentage of production goes to the downstream industry at a developmental price," he said. – Reuters

College Hockey:Mercyhurst 'looking to start again' after offseason losses
Decimated by graduation and transfers, Mercyhurst must replace 60 percent of its offense as well as longtime starting goaltender Ryan Zapolski.
"This is one of the youngest teams we've had," said coach Rick Gotkin, who is entering his 24th season behind the bench, coaching every year of varsity hockey at Mercyhurst. "You can look at what we've lost but we have 12 freshmen that we like a lot. We're looking to start again. I like our talent level."
Besides losing graduating seniors Scott Pitt (41 points last season) and Mike Gurtler (28), Phil Ganand left early for a professional contract, and defenseman Nate Jensen and forward Taylor Holstrom transferred to Penn State. Holstrom was the rookie of the year in Atlantic Hockey last season. In all, eight of the team's top 10 scorers are gone.
"It was a shock," said Gotkin, referring to the transfers. "But we're focused on what we have and not on what we don't. Our goal is to finish in the top four, and I think that's a reasonable goal based on what I have seen out of this team so far."
Senior Max Strang is the only returning goalie with any collegiate experience. He's joined by freshmen Jimmy Sarjeant and Jake Williams.
"[Strang] is the only goaltender with [college] experience, so he's the incumbent," said Gotkin. "But all three will see playing time."
Junior Paul Chiasson is the top returning scorer with 37 points last season. His 17 goals were second on the team. Kevin Noble leads a defense that returns four starters.
As usual, the Lakers open with a tough schedule. They start the season at Omaha in the Maverick Stampede tournament and then travel to Alaska for the Gold Rush tourney.
"It's great from a bonding standpoint," said Gotkin. "We'll be a team by the time we get back.
"And there won't be anywhere to hide (playing strong teams out of the gate). We'll know what we have right away."
About the Lakers
2010-11 overall record: 15-18-4
2010-11 AHA record: 12-13-2 (seventh)
2011-12 predicted finish (coaches poll): Seventh
Key losses: Scott Pitt (F), Mike Gurtler (F), Ryan Zapolski (G)
Players to watch: Paul Chiasson (sr., F), Grant Blakey (jr., F), Kevin Noble (sr., D)
Impact rookie: Ryan Misiak had 58 points in the USHL last season.
Why the Lakers will finish higher than the coaches poll: Expectations are low for Mercyhurst for the first time in quite a while. If teams take the Lakers lightly, they'll be in trouble.
Why the Lakers will finish lower than the coaches poll: If the new players don't adjust quickly and a go-to goaltender doesn't emerge, the Lakers could be in for a down season.

Obama's anti-semitism
What a disaster.
Hope and Change!
Obama throws Darfur under the bus
For a minute there, he forgot that he *liked* tyrants and *didn't* like liberty. Whew, glad he remembered before he did something stupid and started promoting democracy and human rights. You start doing stupid stuff like that, and you start looking like Bush. Naw, he's got more important things to do, like losing a war in Afghanistan. I wonder if there's *anything* he wasn't lying about during his campaign.
What a disaster.
Hope and Change.
Now it all makes sense…
I thought that Obama was destroying the economy because he was a buffoon. I didn't realize it was the plan all along for the left.
What a disaster.
Hope and Change!
Our future in Obama's socialist utopia
Our future. Remember, Chavez is the guy Obama Administration officials are openly modeling themselves after. It used to be "Give me liberty or give me death." In the Obama future it will be "Don't get cheeky towards your betters"
What a disaster.
Hope and Change!
Democrats — We don't need no stinkin' First Amendment.
Apparently there's no part of the Bill of Rights they particularly like.
Who knew that "freedom of speech" meant speech that the government didn't feel a "compelling interest" in controlling?
What a disaster.
Hope and Change!
I guess kissing Russia's butt didn't get Obama very much
Putin knows a buffoon when he sees one.
Obama's bright idea of betraying our allies in Eastern Europe to buy cooperation from Russia isn't working out all that well. Why should Putin pay attention to a country that is walking, open-eyed, into third-world socialist worker's utopia? Russia knows where Obama's ideas about socialism will lead. After all, they are still recovering from it. Obama clearly doesn't have a clue about foreign affairs, and the Dem Congress is focused only on destroying liberty in the US.
What a disaster.
Hope and Change!
Does Bing favor Microsoft Software?
I've been playing with Bing a bit, but have found that it's not as useful at finding resources about Linux and Unix issues as I would have hoped. For instance, I did a search asking the question "How to delete a range of messages in Alpine?" Alpine is a text-based mail reader from U Washington, and the successor to the famous "pine" reader. It is popular among *nix folk.
The Google results took me right to an answer (click on the image to get the full size):
Note that a pointer to the answer is right there on the first line.
Kartoo gets it on the first screen.
Now look at Bing:
No such luck. The first hits all point to Microsoft software that have nothing to do with Alpine. The fifth hit at least went to U Wash and referred to the right software, but discusses usenet news articles, not email messages. No usable answer is found in the first four pages of searching…
I hope that Bing isn't going to ignore Linux in its search efforts.
Right wing terrorists
Now that Nacy Pelosi et al. have defined anybody who disagrees with leftist tyranny as terrorists, it might be useful to look at some real right wing terrorists.

The cost of a gallon of gasoline has started going up again, and many analysts are stating that it could continue to rise if the current political situation in the Middle East worsens or if another bad hurricane hits the Gulf area. This has caused many people to start seriously looking at an all-electric car such as the Nissan Leaf.
The Nissan Leaf is relatively new on the market, and can be an ideal commuter vehicle. While exact mileage can vary based on driving conditions continuous testing of the car by both Nissan and independent consumer agencies have shown that it can go about 100 miles on a single charge. The fact that there is no gasoline engine means that the cost to drive the car is equal to your cost to charge it. Because electric rates can vary depending on where an owner lives, however, it's hard to determine your exact costs to charge it. According to customer reviews, however, most owners have charging expenses of about a dollar per charge.
There are several different charging options for the Leaf. Many owners choose to simply plug the car into a wall outlet in their garage at night. For many owners, charging overnight like this provides enough charge to get them to and from work with enough left over to run a few errands. If your garage has a 220 volt outlet, the car can be fully charged in just a few hours. These outlets are most commonly referred to as dryer outlets, and they are common in many newer houses. For people who need to charge the car faster, however, there is an optional charging station that can fully charge the battery in thirty minutes.
Commuters and people who use their car for frequent short trips will see the most savings from buying the Leaf. Besides saving hundreds of dollars on gas, many owners report that they love the fact that they no longer have to waste time visiting the gas station.
Owners of the Nissan Leaf have reported that the car has excellent handling and acceleration. Find out if this is the car for you by test driving it today.

Nov. 23, 2005
SEATTLE (AP) - Washington refuses to look ahead to its game with cross-state rival Gonzaga.
The 25th-ranked Huskies clearly were focused on Idaho on Tuesday night in a 90-67 victory. Jamal Williams scored 14 of his 16 points in the rout-sparking first half of what became the Huskies' national-best 27th straight home win.
Washington (5-0) scored the first 11 points, led by 22 at halftime and as many as 37 midway through the second half over an Idaho team (0-2) that led mighty - though cold-shooting - Gonzaga by three early in the second half last week.
The Vandals, who have lost 10 straight dating to last Feb. 5, eventually lost to Gonzaga by nine in Spokane.
The Huskies and Zags play at Bank of America Arena Dec. 4 - part of Washington having 10 of 11 non-conference games at home. The showdown will be the young, retooled Huskies' only huge test before Pac-10 play.
While Washington refused to look towards the showdown, Idaho players were happy to compare the two teams.
"Washington is more athletic, more up-and-down (the floor)," said Idaho's Tanoris Shepard , who had 14 points in the loss. "Gonzaga can run, but they like to run their half-court sets, to get (star Adam) Morrison open.
"They are way different teams. Washington is way more up tempo."
The Huskies looked like a more motivated team than the one American challenged through the first half on Saturday, before Washington finally pulled away to win by 17. Different, too, from the team that trailed Air Force by 12 last Tuesday before rallying to win the Black Coaches Association Classic it hosted.
Husky players credited lighter practices Sunday and Monday for the new spark Tuesday. And coach Lorenzo Romar said to expect the same over the next two days before Washington hosts Loyola Marymount Friday.
"We'd been playing a lot of games," senior Bobby Jones said after scoring 12 points and grabbing nine rebounds. "Those practices had more teaching than bumping. Whatever...it definitely worked.
"And I'm not complaining about that."
Rather than the Huskies' usual running game, Tuesday's focus was establishing the formidable low-post presence of the 6-foot-6, 235-pound Williams. He either beat Idaho defenders down the floor or he repeatedly curled around and jumped over the Vandals' slower, low-post, half-court defense in scoring his 14 first-half points. The 2004 transfer from New Mexico scored five of his seven field goals in the opening period from within five feet of the basket.
"Our coaches knew their post defense wasn't very good," Williams said.
Brandon Roy added 14 points, from inside and out. In all, five Huskies reached double-figures in scoring and 10 of 11 healthy, available players scored.

You may adapt the standard four-payment plan option per semester and add payments in July and December. Note that if your July prepayment results in at least a $500 credit balance, as part of the University's "Prepayment Incentive Credit (PIC) Plan," we will pay interest to the student's account at the end of that month.
The PIC Plan (Prepayment Incentive Credit Plan) benefits students or parents who make prepayments before the full semester's bill is due. The PIC Plan pays an interest rate slightly higher than a savings account. To obtain the current PIC interest rate, call 937-766-7665. Families who take advantage of the monthly budgeting resource will benefit from these interest credits since their first payment will be made May 1. Those who opt for a 10-month payment plan may also earn interest since their first payment will be made by July 1.
There must be at least a $500 credit balance on a student account on the first day of the month to earn interest in any given month. Interest is computed based on daily balances and paid once per month. The interest rate paid on student accounts will be reviewed quarterly, and any changes to the interest rate or program will be effective on the following dates: January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Interest rate information will be available one month prior to the effective date and can be obtained at any time by calling 937-766-7665 for a recorded message.
The interactive payment calculator allows you to enter your estimated financial aid package to automatically calculate your estimated monthly payment for the pay-in-full and four-payment plans, as well as the monthly budgeting resource. For specific questions or individualized payment solutions, please contact the cashiers office.
We listened to your feedback and determined that no enrollment fees will be charged for Cedarville payment plans. A competitive monthly interest rate of 1.083% per month will be charged on outstanding balances.
Late fees of $25 per late payment will apply if the payment is past due over 10 days. For families who opt for the monthly budgeting resource, late fees only apply after August 4.
Yes, we accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover credit/debit cards with a 2.5% convenience fee. Payments can be made online using our EZ-Pay system, in person at the Cashiers Office, or by phone by calling 937-766-7830.

For your convenience, you may also want to consider using your local bank's online bill payment service to schedule regular electronic payments to the University.
A student's account can provide the basic benefits of a bank account. A student may withdraw funds from a student account if the account has a credit balance. No more than two cash withdrawals may be made in a week and the total may not be more than $100. For requests for amounts greater than $100, we typically provide the funds by electronic transfer within one or two business days. Requests can be made using the online payment request form at www.cedarville.edu/cedarinfo/request_payment/.

Desert Isle Keeper Review
Crocodile on the Sandbank
Elizabeth Peters
1988 reissue of 1972 release, Historical Mystery (1880s [Victorian] Egypt)
Mysterious Press, $7.99, 272 pages, Amazon ASIN 0445406518Part of a series
I first read Crocodile on the Sandbank more than 20 years ago, and fell in love with Amelia Peabody, Emerson, and the rest of the gang. I've thought fondly of the book ever since, but managed to forget the title and the author. Finally, in 2002 I did some searches on the web and discovered not only the author's name Elizabeth Peters but also the fact that the book is just the first in a long series featuring Amelia and Emerson. It, however, reads very well as a stand-alone book.
At the heart of the story is Amelia Peabody, a strong, independent English woman, with a sharp wit and a soft heart. Amelia's father a scholar and antiquarian raised Amelia in a small English town. With nothing else to do, Amelia developed a love of languages and antiquities, and quite happily spent her days in study (in addition to bickering with local shopkeepers). When Amelia was 32, her father died, leaving her his entire, substantial estate. Rather than settle into a marriage with one of her sudden spurt of suitors, Amelia decides to use the money to explore the antiquities she and her father had studied.
We first encounter Amelia in Rome, at the start of her grand world tour. While making plans for a trip to Egypt, Amelia encounters Evelyn, a young English woman in desperate straights. Evelyn, by her own words, is "ruined." Rather than being shocked by Evelyn's circumstances, Amelia rescues her, and quickly takes her on as a traveling companion. Once in Cairo, Amelia and Evelyn prepare for an extended trip on the Nile. After renting the Philae, an elegant houseboat, Amelia discovers that it will take much longer than planned to get the boat fitted with a crew and furnishings. Amelia makes the most of her time in Cairo, and discovers a true passion for pyramids, and all things Egyptian.
Even more importantly, it is in Cairo that Amelia first encounters Emerson. While touring a local museum, Amelia complains to Evelyn about the dusty condition of the collection. Frustrated, Amelia picks up an artifact and begins to rub it with her handkerchief. A tall man with a booming voice immediately accosts her. Thus begins the first, of many, heated, and hilarious, arguments between Amelia and Emerson.
Radcliffe Emerson known only as Emerson by everyone but his brother is an Englishman and a noted archaeologist. Emerson is Amelia's equal in all ways. He is brilliant, opinionated, quick to argue, and passionate about archaeology and Egypt. Although he hides it well, Emerson also cares deeply for his much gentler brother Walter. While Amelia and Emerson argue in the museum, Evelyn and Walter develop a quick fondness for each other. Unfortunately, a second encounter between the four at Amelia's hotel ends badly, and Evelyn concludes that she and Walter can never have a life together.
The next day, Amelia and Evelyn leave Cairo to begin their trip on the Nile. Eventually, the two end up at Emerson's excavation site in Amarnah, where they discover that Emerson is ill with a high fever. Amelia quickly begins not only to doctor Emerson back to health, but also to become personally involved in the excavation work. Just as Emerson begins to recover his health, and take up numerous battles with Amelia or Peabody as he calls her a series of incidents plagues the camp, highlighted by nighttime visits by a Mummy.
This is a very light mystery, with many laugh-out-loud moments. There are no scenes of graphic violence, no dead bodies, no scenes told from the villain's point of view. In fact, the entire book is told from Amelia's rather unique point of view. The primary mystery is the identity and motivation of the Mummy. While light on mystery, Crocodile is strong in character development. Amelia, in particular, has many delightful quirks, from her love of medicine, to her trusty parasol, to her adoption of the Rational Dress League's recommendations.
In the end, as with all good mysteries, the criminals are brought to justice. More importantly for this romance reader, Amelia definitely gets her happily-ever-after, one that extends through the remaining books in the series. While the books in this series are technically mysteries, they are, for me, at their core, about the relationships between the main characters. I have read all of the rest of the books in the series, but Crocodile on the Sandbank will always hold a special place in my heart.
Reviewer's Note: In addition to interesting characters, Crocodile on the Sandbank brims with scenes of late 19th century Egypt and the archaeology of the time. Since first reading the book, I have learned that Ms. Peters (Barbara Mertz in real life), holds a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in Egyptology. In 2004 Elizabeth Peters, along with Kristen Whitbread, published Amelia Peabody's Egypt, a book that mixes facts about the Egypt of Amelia's time (including over 500 photos), as well as "biographies" and pictures all of the key characters in the series.

Hoping for a white Christmas? You could line this up with a white colored PCB in the form of Galaxy's upcoming GeForce GTX460.
More specs and pictures of this unique looking GPU - it is going to be called something like "White" or "Christmas Edition" - which is something out of the box, which is great in this industry.
Power supply wise, we're looking at 6 phases for the GPU, 2 phases for the memory circuits - Galaxy are pushing for clock frequencies of up to 4600MHz for the GDDR5 memory, while the GPU is hoping to be clocked at between 900 and 1000 MHz.
As for a release date - that is uncertain at the moment - but judging by the pics it should be a 1GB model, pricing remains unknown.

Entolimod (CBLB502) Oncology
Entolimod is a clinical-stage investigational drug with potential application as a cancer treatment. This recombinant protein is an agonist of toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5), an innate immunity receptor. Entolimod activation of TLR5 triggers NF-kB signaling, mobilizing an innate immune response that drives expression of numerous genes. Unlike activation of some other TLRs, activation of TLR5 does not induce a septic shock-like syndrome or a "cytokine storm."
In preclinical models, administration of entolimod shows a direct cytotoxic effect on tumors expressing TLR5. In addition, entolimod activation of an innate immune response can induce potent antitumor activity in animal models of liver metastasis, regardless of TLR5 expression. Additionally, a supportive care benefit has been demonstrated in preclinical studies of entolimod when the drug has been administered in combination with radiation or cytotoxic agents with adverse hematopoietic or gastrointestinal effects. Preclinical studies suggest that the tissue protective effects of entolimod do not extend to tumors.
In two completed clinical studies in 150 healthy subjects, administration of entolimod was associated with a transient mild to moderate flu-like syndrome, which is consistent with the mechanism of action of the compound. Transient decreases in blood pressure and elevation of liver enzymes were also observed.
A Phase 1 study of entolimod in patients with advanced solid tumors at Roswell Park Cancer Institute was completed and results were presented at the 2015 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (see press release dated June 1, 2015).
A second Phase 1 study of entolimod in patients with advanced cancer was initiated in the Russian Federation to expand upon clinical observations made at the higher dose levels in the Roswell Park study and to gather further statistics on immune response to administrations of entolimod.
A Phase 2, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study of the safety and tolerability of entolimod as a neo-adjuvant therapy in treatment-naïve patients with primary colorectal cancer who are recommended for surgery was initiated in the Russian Federation.

What will happen when technology replaces people in the service, manufacturing and professional industries of an already struggling economy? Media scholar Robert McChesney and journalist John Nichols delve into the topic in their new book.
A kind of infantilism now shapes daily life as adults take on the role of unthinking children while children are subject to a range of disciplinary pressures that saddle them with debt and cripple their ability to be imaginative.
The Navy is increasingly focused on possible future climate-change conflicts in the melting waters of the north and, in that context, has little or no intention of caretaking the environment when it comes to military exercises.
By Eric Poulin, Truthout
In two far-reaching interviews on the "Soap Box" with Eric Poulin, the social philosopher Henry Giroux defines establishment liberals by their persistent failure to address the obvious—that capitalism and democracy are not the same thing.
It gets worse.
The disintegration of Iraq is the result of U.S. policies that, since 2003, have been strikingly devoid of coherence or any real comprehension when it comes to the forces at play in the country or the region.
Of neoliberalism, Truthout contributor Henry Giroux tells Victoria Harper in an interview: "Not only is it the latest stage of predatory capitalism, but it is also part of a broader project of restoring class power and consolidating the rapid concentration of capital, particularly financial capital."
Workers, students, youths and the poor are all considered expendable in this neoliberal global economy. Yet the one institution that offers opportunities to challenge anti-democratic tendencies is under attack in unparalleled ways.
In a special interview, Truthout contributor Henry Giroux takes us back to the basics of what can be seen as an ongoing and accelerating war between the rich and everyone else, an event that has resulted in a mass inability "to translate private troubles into larger structural public considerations."
When ruthlessly transgressed, privacy becomes a moral and political principle by which to assess the nature, power and severity of an emerging totalitarian state.

We now live under a form of casino capitalism that revels in deception, kills the radical imagination, depoliticizes the American public and promulgates what might be called disimagination factories and punishing machines.
In a Truthout video interview about his recent article "When Schools Become Dead Zones of Imagination," social critic Henry A. Giroux describes the neoliberal capture of public education as "an attempt to move away from understanding students as young people who have a voice, who have a sense of creativity, a sense of possibility."

Neoliberalism's ideology of competition strips schools of their civic and democratic project and hands them over to the logic of the market, helping to put authoritarianism, not democracy, on the rise in the United States in the twenty-first century.

While the superrich themselves live in an age of precarity due to the free-market economics they support, they largely escape its consequences through obscene amounts of wealth that enable them to buy private solutions to public problems.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's current attempt to close down 54 public schools largely inhabited by poor minorities is one more example of a savage, racist neoliberal system that uses the politics of austerity and consolidation to further disenfranchise unskilled youths in the inner city.
Henry Giroux
Occasionally we meet the unsullied images, history and legacy of intellectuals who symbolize a rare combination of civic courage, political commitment and rigorous scholarship. Angela Davis is one of those exemplary individuals.
Higher education must be understood as a democratic public sphere—a space in which education enables students to develop a keen sense of prophetic justice, claim their moral and political agency, utilize critical analytical skills, and cultivate an ethical sensibility through which they learn to respect the rights of others.

We live in a time of deep foreboding, one that haunts any discourse about justice, democracy and the future. Not only have the points of reference that provided a sense of certainty and collective hope in the past largely evaporated, but the only referents available are increasingly supplied by a hyper-market-driven society, megacorporations and a corrupt financial service industry.
The gun violence figures flooding the media in the wake of the Newtown massacre are startling, "but they do not tell us enough about the cult and spectacle of violence in American society. Nor do they make visible the myriad of forces that has produced a country drenched in bloodshed and violence," Henry Giroux told C.J. Polychroniou in a Truthout interview.

It is ironic, in the unfolding nightmare in Newtown, Conn., that only in the midst of tragedy are teachers celebrated in ways that acknowledge the vital role they play every day in both protecting and educating our children. What is repressed in these moments is that teachers have been under attack by right-wing conservatives, religious fundamentalists and centrist Democrats since the beginning of the 1980s.

Warlike values and the social mind-set they legitimize have become the primary currency of our market-driven culture, which takes as its model a Darwinian shark tank in which only the strong survive.

Everywhere we look, the power of the rich and powerful operates to create a "suicidal state" in which regulations meant to restrict their corrupting power are shredded; shamelessly and without apology, they use their unchecked power to lay off millions of workers while simultaneously cutting the benefits and rights of those on the job in order to dramatically increase corporate profits.
