Sam Cooke: Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out
Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out
Sam Cooke (vocals)
The Rhythm and the Blues (RCA 66760-2)
Sam Cooke (vocals),
15-piece big band arranged and conducted by Sammy Lowe.
Composed by Jimmie Cox.
Recorded: New York City, May 19, 1961
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
If not for his tragic death in 1964 at age 33, Cooke may well have given Berry Gordy's Motown a run for the money. Through his own record label, SAR/Derby, he was developing his skills as a producer, songwriter, talent scout, and arranger, with the goals of complete artistic and publishing control within his sight. Meanwhile, RCA Victor and his producers there, Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore, were trying to broaden his appeal to include virtually anyone with two functioning ears. Blues, R & B, soul, jazz, pop, standards, teen anthems and more, the former gospel star with The Soul Stirrers was being spread thin, but due to his immense vocal talent was more than persevering.
"Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" originally appeared on Cooke's My Kind of Blues album, and conveys some of the infectious excitement that Joe Williams could similarly engender with Count Basie. The horns hearty intro gives way to Cooke's suave, knowing vocal, filled with a sprinkling of his characteristic brand of melismas, or "yodels." The orchestra's backing is effective but not overbearing, as Cooke interprets the lyrics with crystal clear enunciation and a sincere, committed perspective. The climactic section finds the trumpets coming to the fore with staccato outbursts, and Cooke now soaring to his full power. His final marvelous, throaty held note on the word "out" quivers and shakes incomparably. This version of a tune that Bessie Smith sang and popularized in the '20's could engage those who patronized black backroads juke joints, as well as the more cosmopolitan MOR supper club crowd. Such was Cooke's allure and magic.

Over the years I've warmed to Sam's big band remakes, my favorite now being his version of "I Don't Get Around Much Anymore." I used to think these songs sounded dated, even for the early '60's, but I've learned to appreciate how special these recordings truly are. Great review!

College Hockey:ECAC Hockey mid-weekend update
It's 1am, so this is going to be quick and dirty.
- Cornell now holds the tiebreaker with Union. If they finish tied atop the standings, Cornell get the No. 1 seed, and the teams will share the Cleary Cup. Each school has secured a first-round bye.
- Colgate, Harvard, Clarkson and Quinnipiac each have a shot at a bye as well. Colgate and Harvard control their own destinies: win, and they get a week off.
- Yale, Dartmouth and St. Lawrence are fighting for the two remaining home-ice spots. Yale has the leg up (21 points), and the Big Green and Saints go head to head in Hanover tomorrow. Dartmouth holds the tiebreaker should the teams draw, leaving SLU the odd man out.
- Princeton, RPI and Brown are each awaiting their draws: all three will be on the road next weekend.
That's all for now. Good night – or morning – and we'll be sure to keep you updated as quickly and frequently as possible. Be sure to check SullivanHockey and Nate_Owen41 for all the news that's fit to tweet.

Oregon Chai Iced Teas feature a blend of black tea and chai spices based on the taste profile consumers love. The new iced teas are mixed with water, offering the light, refreshing qualities of iced tea… perfect for cooling off during the heat of summer. As with all Oregon Chai products, the new iced teas are made with all-natural and organic ingredients.
The Iced Teas come in the same easy-to-use 32 ounce aseptic package Oregon Chai consumers recognize from the company's chai tea latte "just add milk" concentrate products.
Oregon Chai also introduces a dry chai tea latte mix. Very few instant products exist in the fast-growing chai category. Made with all-natural ingredients, the mix is the first instant chai to enter the natural foods market.
Oregon Chai, Inc., 1745 N.W. Marshall, Portland, Oregon 97209-2424. Tel: (1)(888) 874-2424, Fax: (1)(503) 796-0980.

The stainless steel Shangri-La Multi-Brew keeps beverages hot and fresh for up to 10 hours. The brewer comes with three differently colored brew funnels: black for coffee, translucent (with an automatic steeping restrictor) for iced tea, and white for all other beverages (only water flows through this funnel, so there are no flavor residues). It also comes with separate carafes for each drink to further ensure the purest flavors.
Each Shangri-La Multi-Brew also comes complete with a variety of pre-measured hot and iced teas, coffees and café latte. However, " the system works wonderfully with any type of coffee or tea," says NEI president A.J. Neiman, whose Shangri-La and China Mist teas are mainstays of better restaurants across the U.S. and Canada.
Shangri-La Multi-Brew has also been praised as the perfect appliance for energy conscious consumers. The systems never turns "on" until water is dispensed. And because the thermal carafe included with the systems keeps coffee hot for over ten hours, no external heating element is necessary. Also, unlike ordinary coffee brewers, mineral deposits do not form with Shangri-La Multi-Brew, so there's no need for periodic cleaning with vinegar or other internal cleaners.

Sketchup 540pii rough ideas, opinions?

Hey I have to thank you I only found out about sketchup a few days ago because of this thread. Already have it pretty much figured out check out my design on my newest thread (First 8 str build! Lots of pictures!!).
Anyways design wise I really like your ideas. However I would make the headstock larger because it looks really small compared to the body. Also its a good idea to have the bass strings as close to the nut (within reason) as you can and the treble strings a little further out. The reason for this is because the more length of string there is beyond the scale length the more the string can bend. With that in mind most people seek to have a tight feeling bass side and a bendable treble side. Clearly this can only be done perfectly on an inline but still good for 2+4 or whatever. Either way its a 6 string so I don't think its a big deal either way but just a little info to throw at you. Oh and body wise its really good love the large lower horn.. assuming its out of the way.
Anyways looks good I'll be following this! Oh and check my design out would like your opinion too

College Hockey:Concordia hopes depth improves consistency
Coach Tony Hrkac is counting on depth this season to get his team out of a 30-plus winless mire.
"Last couple of years, we only had six or seven guys upfront that you could really rely on," Hrkac says. "This year, we have a little more depth, so those guys won't get as tired."
The Falcons are getting tired of not winning. The team's last victory came on Feb. 6, 2009 when they edged Marian, 4-3, in overtime.
Concordia stumbled out of the gate this season, losing its first four contests by a combined score of 27-3.
To shake those doldrums, the Falcons need to vigorously crash the net and get a little luck, Hrkac says.
"It's a slow process," the former Hobey Baker Trophy winner adds.
The season, senior center Jonathan Smith will be counted on to repeat his team-leading output of nine goals and 11 assists. Smith is expected to get some aid from Joseph Greg Douglas (eight goals, seven assists, 15 points) and Bradley Lukass (six goals, nine assists, 15 points).
Otherwise the Falcons' offense may come via the blue line, where Andrew Dammen (five goals, six assists, 11 points) and Jari Sanders (three goals, six assists, nine points) return.
In goal, Hrkac is looking for more consistency from incumbent starter Michael Wyenn (0-11-5, 5.52 GAA, .884 save percentage). Junior Dustin Le Claire and freshman Michael Becker have already spelled Wyenn in lopsided losses to Wisconsin-River Falls and Milwaukee School of Engineering this season.
"We need that save when he has to make a save," the Falcons coach says. "A lot of times, we didn't get that last year. He's got to step it up and make those saves for us so he can keep us in games."

The power of the human mind is incredible. We have all heard stories about the so called "Placebo Effect". For example, a group of patients in a hospital is split into two control groups...one receiving sugar pills to treat severe pain, and the other given a real pain relieving drug. Both groups are told by their physicians that the pills will take away their pain for sure....they really sell it. An hour later they go check on the the patients. In every case where this experiment was conducted, the group getting the sugar pills had the same response rate as the group getting the real drugs! That's the power of your mind in action. The trick is for us to consciously use that power anytime we desire.
Athletes have found a way to try and trick their brains right into the placebo effect. Most of them have rituals they perform, before games, that they believe will create a positive outcome. They will eat the same meals, stretch and warm up in exactly the same way before the game, and even wear the same undergarments! I had a teammate in college, on the baseball team, that got onto a big hitting streak...22 games. During that entire stretch, he wore the same pair of socks...and did not wash them! He believed somehow that his hitting streak was connected to his socks. It does not matter how or why, the only thing that mattered was that he BELIEVED it. That's why it worked. So...do you think we can all do the same thing in our daily lives? Yes!
There are many things in our lives that we believe to be true just because we were always told that they are...like getting older. We have all been told by society that as we get older, our bodies start to break down and we'll get wrinkles and grey hair. What if we changed our minds on this subject? What if you decided...and truly believed...that you could reverse the aging process? Would it happen? I think so! Let's look at it this way: What is time and why does it "make" our body do things? Time is something that we all just made up to keep track of our day. Why should the fact that the Earth is spinning on it's axsis...the measurement for a day...and it's in orbit around the Sun...the measure for a year...have anything to do with how our bodies age? I say it only has an effect because we BELIEVE so deeply that it does!
The bottom line is this: If you change your beliefs, you'll change your life experience. It's as simple as that.

Perhaps under the influence of copious amounts of potato vodka, or possible even deranged from onset of advanced Russki syphilis, the leader of Russia's Federal Drug Control Service said earlier this week that the country does not plan to legalize marijuana -- branding it a dangerous gateway drug that leads to junkie destitution.
During a recent interview with the Interfax news agency, Viktor Ivanov said that people who smoke marijuana recreationally are destined to suffer from a diminished quality of life, as well as conditions like depression and schizophrenia, and will undoubtedly move on to harder drugs. "Marijuana users have a 50 or 60 times higher risk of switching to heroin," he said. "There is one step from dope to heroin."
The leading Russian drug official said that because of the potential dangers associated with people like air traffic controllers, bus drivers, and taxi-drivers performing their work duties stoned, there is no chance of the Federation ever legalizing marijuana.
"Today we live in the age of high technology, a lot of things are managed with the help of computer systems. Someone who works at a nuclear power plant can wreak real havoc after smoking marijuana," said Ivanov.
Ivanov also told the Russian news agency that distributing methadone and clean syringes was not an effective measure for controlling drug addiction, stating that methadone therapy is largely undocumented, with similar programs causing frustration in several European countries. "If we want to hand out syringes we should do it in places with addicts, to prevent the spreading of diseases," he said. "If there are no addicts why would we give syringes to the people? Who would approve of people handing out syringes near his own home?"
Last year, the Russian drug enforcement agency voiced opposition to the legalization of soft drugs, with Ivanov making derogatory comments about Uruguayan President Jose' Mujica's decision to legalize marijuana in his country, calling it a mistake.
Statistics from the Health Ministry indicate that nearly 8.5 million Russians use marijuana and other drugs.

QB: Russell Wilson at ATL – Wilson has been playing his best football of the season over his last three games, passing for seven touchdowns and adding another score on the ground. This week he gets his easiest matchup of this stretch, facing an Atlanta defense that allows the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. I also like Rivers this week.
RB: Chris Johnson vs. JAC – Although it took him eight games to score his first running touchdown of the season, Chris Johnson has another solid matchup this week. He faces a Jaguars defense that has already allowed opposing running backs to rack up 220 carries for 1,039 yards (4.72 YPC) and 10 touchdowns.
C.J. Spiller at PIT – Despite rolling his ankle early in the season, C.J. Spiller is still averaging 4.7 yards per carry. A healthy Spiller is too talented to not produce like at least a high-end RB2 in a running back friendly offense. We've seen that Doug Marrone is happy to feed him the ball and rumors of Marrone saying, he's "excited to get Spiller more touches" are music to fantasy owners' ears. With the Steelers allowing a league-worst 11 rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs, Spiller should be in for a breakout week.
Danny Woodhead vs. DEN – This one is the PPR leaguers – already proving to be a PPR RB1, Woodhead gets his best possible matchup this week, the Denver Broncos. This matchup reeks of the Chargers playing catch-up – keeping Ryan Mathews and his clock killing carries on the bench. Woodhead has caught 47 passes in seven games since Week 1, that's an average of 6.7 catches per game. With increased snaps, you can pencil him in for 8+ catches this week.
Mike James vs. MIA – Coming off an 158-yard rushing performance against the Seahawks, Mike James should be in fantasy owner's good graces. Starting to get comfortable in the Bucs lead-back role, James faces a Miami defense that is tied for the most fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs with the Rams defense. Maybe if we're lucky, he'll throw for another passing touchdown.
WR: Victor Cruz vs. OAK – Despite averaging 5.25 catches for 63 yards and no touchdowns over his last four games, Cruz is a player that is too talent not to turn it around. Cruz faces an Oakland defense that allowed Nick Foles to pass for seven touchdowns. I like his chances of scoring.
Antonio Brown vs. BUF – Antonio Brown is having an incredibly strong season thus far – he's caught at least 5 passes in every game and is leading the NFL with 61 catches. This week he squares off with a Bills defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. The Bills have allowed multiple touchdowns to enemy wide receivers in six of their nine games. Only the Chiefs, last week, did not to have a wide receiver score a touchdown against the Bills.
Keenan Allen vs. DEN – Keenan Allen has quickly settled in as the Chargers No. 1 wide receiver. In three of his last four games, Allen topped 100 receiving yards AND scored a touchdown. He has a favorable matchup playing catch-up against the Broncos.
Alshon Jeffery vs. DET – Averaging 77.6 receiving yards per game, Alshon Jeffery has looked much improved during his sophomore campaign. With three touchdowns in his last five games, Jeffery is a player worth starting in shootouts. When Jeffery faced the Lions in Week 4, he caught five passes for 107 yards and a touchdown, adding a 27-yard rush on the ground. The Lions are currently allowing the 4th most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers.
TE: Antonio Gates vs. DEN – Despite averaging just 46.5 receiving yards per game over his last four games, Antonio Gates is a must-start against the Broncos. Despite the lack of yards, Gates is being heavily targeted and has at least 5 catches in six of eight games this season.
QB: Matt Ryan vs. SEA – Holding a 2:7 TD:INT ratio over his past two starts, Matt Ryan is looking like a shaky play. Although the Falcons are expecting Roddy White to return, the Seahawks are far from an ideal matchup.
RB: Ben Tate at AZ – Although I'm a big fan of Tate's ability, he's simply not healthy right now. In three games of extensive carries with Arian Foster dinged up, Tate has rushed the ball 47 times for 143 scoreless yards (3.04 YPC). Facing a stout Cardinals run defense, I'd call him just a flex option.
Ray Rice vs. CIN – In four games since returning from his hip injury, Rice has rushed 67 times for 170 yards (2.54 YPC). Not only are the Ravens struggling to run block, but Rice also looks like he's lacking burst. I'm not betting on him running well against the Bengals.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis at BAL – With Giovani Bernard playing extremely well, the Bengals have to start giving him more carries. Running on fumes, BenJarvus Green-Ellis is rushing for just 3.2 YPC and hasn't scored in four weeks. Facing a Ravens defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs and just one touchdown on the season, I'd avoid the Law Firm at all costs.
WR: Roddy White vs. SEA – Although a healthy Roddy White is always worth playing, I would advise White owners to bench him this week. Likely rushing to get back on the field with Julio Jones out for the year, I'd view this as a wait-and-see week for White. Despite playing at home, the Seahawks are an unfavorable matchup for opposing pass catchers.
Michael Floyd vs. HOU – Although Floyd has shown playmaking ability this season – his matchup is unfavorable. The Texans have allowed the 5th fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. The Texans are the only team to allow fewer than 1,013 receiving yards to opposing wide receivers and they've allowed just 792.
Anquan Boldin vs. CAR – Over his last four games Boldin is averaging just 3.5 catches for 44.8 scoreless yards. The Panthers, the 49ers opposition, have been surprisingly strong against the pass. They haven't allowed an opposing wide receiver to score a touchdown since Week 2.
TE: Heath Miller vs. BUF – Over his last three games Miller is averaging just three catches for 27 yards. He hasn't been as involved in the passing offense and clearly isn't the same guy we saw last season. With the Bills allowing the 2nd fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends, I'd bench Miller.
Thanks for reading, good luck this week. Hit me up on Twitter @BraudeM or post below for any lineup questions you guys have!
Hey Mike,
I'm in a pickle, please pick 3 WRs to start.
Keenan Allen
Hakeem Nicks
Jordy Nelson
Brandon Marshall
I think Marshall and Allen are the obvious, but I'm torn between Jordy and Nicks, mainly because of Seneca Wallace and Nicks underperforming. This could make or break me.
PPR 12 Team League… start Mike James or Alshon Jeffery in Flex?
Is DeSean jackson for keenan allen and jordan reed a fair deal? Current te is fleener.
With Foster ruled out, would you still go with Ellington over Tate as my #2 flex?
LeVeon Bell or Mike James? also have Mathews, but not trusting that coaching staff (idiots)? 14team/STD
I've been going back and forth with this over the past few day. Do i flex Alshon Jeffery or Mike James? Stacy and Moreno are my starting backs along with Dez and Marshall as my wrs.
.5pts per reception
Great work!
Pick two please
C.Spiller – A.Brown – K.Allen – A.Jeffery
12 Team League- Standard Scoring, QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, WRT, K, DST
QB: T.Romo
RB: A.Morris F.Gore CJ.Spiller G.Bernard J.Bell A.Brown
WR: P.Garcon K.Allen J.Gordon A.Jeffery
TE: J.Graham T.Wright (TE/WR)
K: D.Bailey
DST: Streaming
Need 4 of the following 5. PPR league. Woodhead, McCoy, Andre Johnson, Fitz and Antonio Brown. Leaning the 2 RBs, plus Antonio and Andre.
Hi Mike, 12 team PPR, should I start Rivers or Wilson? Also, we flex 2, my #1 flex is Torrey. Should I flex B Tate, Ellington, Andre Brown or JStew as my #2?

PORTLAND, Ore. — An inmate who blew off his jaw in a suicide attempt wants the state of Oregon to pay for fixing his face, but the state refuses.
The Oregonian reported Friday on litigation by Monte Callaway.
In 2008, he fired at a man he thought was seeing his wife, and then turned his shotgun on himself.
The blast blew away his lower jaw, most of his teeth, and his mouth. He's undergone reconstructive operations and wants to finish the work — at an estimated $45,000.
In the meantime, he made a plea deal and is serving 7 1 / 2years for assault.
He's arguing for himself in federal court, saying he lives on soft foods.
The state prison system says Callaway gets proper nutrition, and it won't pay for cosmetic surgery.

The Volvo V60 is a five-door, midsize station wagon based on Volvo's S60 sedan. On sale in Europe since 2011, the V60 has arrived in the U.S. to bolster Volvo's lineup.
During the transition, as Volvo ownership changed from Ford to China's Geely Automotive Group, the base V70 was dropped from its U.S. lineup, then the V70-based Cross Country, and then even the small V50. For the past several years, Volvo, the company known for its station wagons, didn't have a single wagon in its U.S. lineup.
The 2015 Volvo V60 sport wagon is the first model from Volvo with the automaker's new Drive-E powertrain. Volvo's Drive-E strategy is to shift from in-line five- and six-cylinder engines to an all-four-cylinder lineup that offers up to 30 percent better fuel economy and performance that's as good, or better, than that of the engines they replace.
At first, four different engines will be available in the V60. The front-wheel-drive V60 T5 models will get the least powerful version of the new 2.0-liter that uses only a single turbocharger and is rated at 240 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. T6 models will get the most powerful version that uses both supercharger for low-rpm response and a turbocharger for power at high rpm to deliver 302 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
Until the transition to the new engine lineup is complete, all-wheel-drive V60 wagons will use either a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-5 (250 hp, 266 lb-ft) or a turbo 3.0-liter inline-6 (325 hp, 354 lb-ft). These engines will use a carryover six-speed automatic.
Vehicles with the new engine also make the switch to electric-assist power steering, which improves efficiency and allows Volvo to offer an active lane-keeping assist system.
The sleek, luxurious interior evokes design cues from contemporary Scandinavian furniture. You can choose from three modes to personalize your Adaptive Digital TFT Display, and use Integrated Bluetooth to enjoy hands-free mobile operation and audio streaming from any connected device.
Front passengers benefit from ergonomic sport seats while the rear has three 40/20/40 sections for maximum flexibility and the choice of integrated two-level child booster cushions.
Clearly, the V60 has a style of its own. A wide new grille and lights make the V60 stand out in a crowd. With its clean and simple body styling, a sleek silhouette and a roof that tapers in the rear, the V60 should eliminate any recollection of Volvo's boxy wagons of the past.
Even though Volvo expects to sell only 4000 V60s in the U.S. each year, there is much optimism that the V60's combination of style and utility can help revive the company's sales. After all, the station wagon is a defining part of Volvo's identity.
On sale now, the 2015 Volvo V60 starts at $35,300 for FWD; $36,800 for AWD; and $44,300 for the more potent "R" design model. The destination charge is $925.

Commercial Driver Education in Delaware

Get Your Test Answers Now!
Operating a commercial motor vehicle is a huge responsibility. The vehicles you'll operate are large, heavy, and carrying cargo. There is a lot to learn about the equipment, driving skills, traffic rules, federal laws, and safety.
The minimum training requirement you must meet, at both the state and federal levels, is not measured in classroom hours or driving time. Your training is measured by passing the written and road tests. However, some longer-combination-vehicle (LCV) drivers must receive training in driver wellness, driver qualifications, hours of service, and whistleblower protection.
Delaware has a unique and effective multi-step CDL licensing process. When you apply for a CDL you will need to pass the eye exam and the written tests and road skills test.
Commercial Driver's Manual
The Commercial Driver's Manual is a comprehensive and critical resource for you. All you need to know to pass the written exam is inside the manual.
You can expect to spend a lot of time reading the manual and practicing your driving based on what you read. There are helpful diagrams and driving examples. With so much to learn about driving a commercial motor vehicle, the Commercial Driver's Manual will be your primary resource.
You will want to download the manual, or visit a DMV office to get your own copy for study and reference.
The manual is broken out into three major sections with chapters in each section that deal specifically with certain CDL and CMV topics.
Drivers Training
The state and federal agencies don't require you to have any formal commercial drivers training. However, most drivers enroll in a course to provide them with valuable practice and learning.
There is a lot to know and your own background will determine any specific learning needs you have. For example, if you have experience in mechanics but no actual Class A driving, then you'll need more training in the truck and less training on the equipment mechanics.
Driver training courses bring perspective and organization to the learning process. Another great benefit of drivers training is the classroom experience. Learning along side other CDL applicants can enrich your own understanding of the material.
Because you cannot prepare too much, consider self-study before sitting for the CDL exam. Of course you'll use the Commercial Driver's Manual as your primary learning source, but other programs are out there that can enhance your learning experience.
Self-study also has the advantage of learning at your pace. You are able to follow a structured program but at a pace that matches your learning style and schedule.
Applying for your CDL, passing the written exam, and practicing for the road skills test will be time consuming. However, if you are using the CDL to earn a living you will make the time; some employers support CDL learners with tuition reimbursement or driving practice.

Last year the NS Icewine festival in 2013 had to be postponed for a week at the last moment with the arrival of a massive blizzard. The Winery Association of Nova Scotia is being much more cautious with its plans this year.
Domaine de Grand Pré, Nova Scotia's beautiful destination winery, is hosting the festival with neighbouring wineries Luckett Vineyards, Blomidon Estates, L'Acadie Vineyards, Sainte-Famille Winery and Avondale Sky joining them on site for the Icewine Festival events. Very similar events are planned for the two weekends, so that weather cancellations will allow most of the plans to go ahead at least one of the weekends if not both.
February 8-9, 2014
Events will be held from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm including wine and food pairings, pig roast, raclette and bonfire. Family events will include a snowshoe hike on Saturday afternoon. Grape vine crafts on Sunday afternoon and a chance for celebrity style photos on the Icewine carpet, and music. $20 per person.
February 15-16, 2014
From 12:00 - 4:00, wine and food pairing, gourmet marshmallows, chocolate and icewine. Also available for purchase Acadian maple products and maple candy. Family events include snowshoe hike on Saturday and grape vine crafts on Sunday, Icewine carpet photos and music. $20 per person.
The winery association would like people to consider coming down to Wolfville for the weekend. Le Caveau, Domaine de Grand Pré's world class winery restaurant, is open with a special festival dinner menu, three course meals for $45 per person on Friday and Saturday evenings Feb 7 or 8. On the Valentine's Day weekend a more lavish celebration is offered with a four course meal on Feb 14 or 15 for $55 per person.
Two local wine tour companies are offering a number of packages to ensure that participants can enjoy the events without the worry of driving. Options include short trips for quick visits to and from Halifax or Wolfville or a romantic overnight weekend escape.
See my NS Icewine Tour Adventures column for more information on the NS Icewine tours available.

It is believed that mountain man Jim Bridger's report of Yellowstone's fossil trees in the 1830s was their first sighting by a white man. His account of the Yellowstone's Fossil Forest may have become embellished over the years, but it provides an interesting interpretation of the cultural history associated with the fossil resource. According to one version of his tale, " peetrified birds a sittin' on peetrified trees a singin' peetrified songs in the peetrified air. The flowers and leaves and grass was peetrified, and they shone in a peculiar moonlight. That was peetrified too." (Chapman and Chapman 1935).
Current Efforts
"Interpretive planning documents say nothing about paleontological resources," according to former Yellowstone Chief Naturalist Ron Thoman. "There is currently almost nothing done in media or personal services interpretation." The easiest places for visitors to view Yellowstone fossils are the petrified tree stump displayed in front of Albright Visitor Center, the standing stump in the Tower area, and the petrified wood in the foundation of Roosevelt Lodge. A small exhibit of fossil leaves from the East Entrance road construction was temporarily displayed on the second floor of the Albright Visitor Center in 1994.
During the 1996 season, I observed two interpretations of paleontological resources: a park staff member mentioned the fossil forests during an evening slide program on "The Geology of Yellowstone"; and a TW guide mentioned the Yellowstone Petrified Forest as horseback riders passed the fenced petrified tree in the Tower area.
Possible Themes
Fossils, paleontology, and the history of life on
earth provide exciting opportunities for interpretation.
Both children and adults are interested by fossils. If
the public was aware that dinosaur remains have
been discovered in Yellowstone, there would be
considerable visitor inquiries about them.
Dinosaur bone fragments in the Yellowstone Museum Collection.
Public misconceptions, media misinformation, controversial scientific opinions, and issues associated with evolution and geologic time can present obstacles when interpreting paleontology. This has frequently been the case in other parks with fossil resources, such as Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, Badlands National Park, Dinosaur National Monument, Fossil Butte National Monument, Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, and Petrified Forest National Park. Strategies related to paleontological interpretation have been discussed during previous National Park Service Paleontological Resource Conferences. Specific training associated with interpreting fossils has been conducted at many of the NPS units that preserve fossil resources.
A variety of interpretive themes could be developed for Yellowstone's paleontological resources. Pick a moment in time when Yellowstone's story is best told. The Yellowstone story is dynamic and not yet finished. The fossil record of life provides evidence of the ancient wildlife and ancient forests of Yellowstone. The fossilized remains of plants and animals hold some of the secrets of Yellowstone's past that are yet to be discovered. Here are some examples of possible themes:
Recommendations for Interpretation
Provide paleontological training to the park's interpretive staff.
Develop and incorporate paleontological resources into park interpretive planning documents.
Develop interpretive themes associated with Yellowstone's paleontological resources.
Consider developing an interpretive exhibit incorporating Yellowstone's paleontological resources.
Biological History of Yellowstone. The public's interest in the current wildlife and vegetation of Yellowstone may indicate their potential interest in the ancient wildlife and forests of the area. More than 200 species of fossil plants are known from the Eocene epoch (approximately 50 million years ago). This resource, including fossil wood, leaves, seeds, cones, and pollen, provides an opportunity to compare the ancient forests with the extant forest. What would the public's response be to learning that before the grizzlies, wolves and bison, the Yellowstone area was home to giant reptiles, including dinosaurs and the marine reptile called the plesiosaur?
Geological History of Yellowstone. Fossils provide information that help geologists to understand past geologic events, processes, and environmental conditions. Fossils can yield information related to the depositional environment of a rock unit (lake, stream, ocean beach, desert, etc.). The presence of fossils in a particular layer and the changes in fossils over the successive layers can provide valuable information about ancient Yellowstone.
Paleoecology of Yellowstone. The short-term changes evident in Yellowstone, such as those resulting from geothermal activity and forest fires,can markedly effect the visitor's view of the park and provide for continued sources of public inquiry. The fossil record, dating back many millions of years, can assist the interpreter's efforts to present Yellowstone as a dynamic and naturally evolving area. A greater understanding of Yellowstone's past and how the recent setting has evolved may increase the public's appreciation for the park.
Wolves in Yellowstone. Although some people object to the release of wolves, many park visitors support the wolf reintroduction. The fossil evidence from Lamar Cave provides some of the strongest proof that wolves are a natural component of the Yellowstone's ecosystem.
Some fossil material from Yellowstone, especially the fossilized leaves, are exceptionally well preserved. Some of these specimens would be ideal for use in an exhibit. However, it is important to recognize that increasing public awareness of and interest in fossils should be accompanied by information about resource protection. Specific fossil locations should not be given in interpretive contacts or other information, including slides or photos that would reveal the location of sensitive fossil sites. Wayside exhibits should not be placed where they could direct the public to fossil exposures.

TC TO JOHN FORSTER ; 13 November 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18581113-TC-JF-01; CL 34: 241
Chelsea, 13 Novr, 1858—
Dear Forster,
I suppose I had better come all the same,—tho' it is clean against rule; indeed an evident sin I am led into! If you will be dressed at 6.30 precise (6.15 for 6.30), that will be my time for catching you at the foot of the stairs; and we shall have plenty of time still before the August Functionary1 make his appearance.
I grieve to report my poor Wife still not the least better this morning; worse rather (we may fancy), for it is the third night of no-sleep!
Yours ever truly (with kind regards to a certain Lady2 if she will accept them),

Bob Toll Does Not Front Run JP Morgan
- Printer-friendly version
- Sep 18, 2009 11:36 AM
- 50
Remember when people who tried to control and manipulate you actually cared enough to put some effort into it. Now its like watching McGyver and he's all like... Ok we take this string of belt fed ammo and shove it into this machine gun and pull the trigger.
Ah yes nostalgia... back then they used to kiss you before they fu#ked you too.
Those were the days my friend...
Did I read that right? JPM is expecting TOL to AVERAGE 23.6% growth over the next five quarters! With the final idiotgasms predicting 50% growth five quarters from now?! These guys aren't even trying to hide the fact that they're full of crap.
Let me try next:
TOL to experience growth of 1 gajillion percent over the next five quarters. Upgrade from overweight to obese.
I think Bob Tol is a real humanitarian. He's actually taking his hard earned stock and selling them back to the market so everyone else can share in his good fortune.
I don't know what you're thinking TD... I see nothing but value here..
disclaimer: I'm a mortgage broker for Countrywide
+1 haha
And, I'm pretty sure you could find a subprime somewhere willing to purchase with that $8k teaser from the Fed.
Shall we start the bidding at say $450K?
Sweet! I've been wanting to short TOL!
From the right angle - my appraiser could make that place work. Disclaimer: I WAS a Countrywide rep.
hmmm, speaks volumes about the "good guy" broker thing, eh?
Yeah, that was a joke. I hate unscrupulous brokers too. Oh, and don't forget investment advisors. I really hate one in particular.
Bob Toll smells what's coming in the wind from the fan...
"Oh sh*t Toll just filed a Form 4, get Rehaut on the phone we need to dump this sh*t"
That's more like it.
Dev boys need to insert a clause into JPM-BOT:
(ask == "Toll") ? sell() : buy();
What are the possible conclusions:
- Bob Toll is a hopeless fool who knows nothing about his company's business prospects (unlikely)
- Bob Toll does not have access to the JPM research reports "huddle" (likely)
- A Rorschach test of JP Morgan analyst Michael Rehaut using the picture below reveals an answer of "a diamond in the rough" (near certainty)
I pick answer #1. The stock is up 3%. He just lost out on a million bucks. And he runs a company?
Better go back to bangin some 2 by 4's together Bob.
TOL - All in!!! Yeah baby!!
4. Bob Toll has 10 million more shares to sell in Toll Brothers stock before the fecal matter hits the wind vortex.
Does that mean my all in on TOL is not fiscally prudent?
assetman is correct.
actually, it is not inconsistent that Bob T is selling even though jpm thinks his company may rise....Toll has been selling for some time now and it certainly made sense back in early 2009. even the current selling with the amount of shares he owns is pretty simple risk diversification from my viewpoint.
Thanks for the advice deadhead. (Actually, my wife cracked me upside the head with her curling iron before I manged to hit the buy button)
well, if you see her pulling out a gun, then you know she is hedging your trades for your life insurance.
Hmmm....wives and guns. Sounds like something robotrader should do an exposé on.
Risk diversification? Surely at some point when Toll has cashed in $50 million or $500 million or $1 billion in his own stock and put it into other assets he has achieved the purpose of diversification, which is to be able to maintain his standard of living even if Toll stock gets wiped out.
When companies hand over stock options to executives it is allegedly to "align management's interest with shareholders". Then when management cashes out the options it is for "diversification purposes". What a crock.
Another commenter (Gilgamesh I think) posted this about JPM:
As an uber-bear that has taken his licks with this rally, I'm beginning to get excited! I smell blood in the water!
Why do you think the I-banks have such rosey projections? They have sh*tloads of overpriced shares they need to dump on the unsuspecting retail investors.
Is it true that JPMorgan has $80 Trillion (yes Trillion) in derivatives? Anyone? Because I don't understand how that can be.
gross number as opposed to net number. Net is much less i.e. offsetting. The problme is one has to assume the netting is perfectly hedged or close to perfect. Not likley.
It seems high, but that is notional value. They could be holding derivatives on both sides of a trade that would eventually cancel. These values can approach the level of lunacy. Economist reports that there is approximately 400 Trillion dollars of derivatives (notional) in the interest swap market alone.
I agree that the notional value is meaningless. See
and you can see the total notional outstanding in the middle. But there is no doubt that JPM and WFC are on the hook for CDS and may have to put up additional collateral soon as CMBS really starts to tank. I believe S&P is downgrading large swaths of CMBS next month? Somthing like 90% of that issued in 2007, 60% of 2006, and 40% of 2005.
OK but how do we find out the derivatives number that isn't meaningless?
Thanks for that link, but very scary.
I hope sooner than later that the market discovers that that the derivative portfolios of these banks are going rotten fast. Then you can be assured of the following:
But right now with this Fed induced insanity, these institutions are headed to the moon. Either the market is allowed to correct or expect a currency crisis shortly. Somethings going to give in the next few weeks which is why I'm getting excited.
If they're holding derivatives on both sides of the trade with one counterparty they would be netted out to zero and cancelled. If the derivatives are with two different entitites they have counterparty risk. If one major player can't honor its obligations it will roll right through the system. Which is why the government jumped in and paid off AIG's losing bets.
Yeah but the (notional) number is $80 Trillion; so don't they have to disclose somewhere what their exposure is? Why are we just guessing?
Disclosure to derivatives has been mandated in the last year. Fitch did a report on derivatives exposures earlier this year after digging through 10-Qs. Their study appears to be limited to U.S. based companies; the total numbers would be a lot bigger with the major overseas banks included.
"Concentrated, in fact, among a mere handful of financial-services giants. About 80% of the derivative assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheets of 100 companies reviewed by Fitch were held by five banks: JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley. Those five banks also account for more than 96% of the companies' exposure to credit derivatives."
"For the report, the rating agency reviewed first-quarter 2009 filings of the companies, which come from a range of industries and represent almost $6.4 trillion in aggregate outstanding debt. The companies also recorded a total notional amount of derivative positions of more than $296 trillion."
Thanks for that link. Interesting. Who would have guessed that Exxon has no derivatives exposure? But I'm still confused because where do I find the $ amount of derivatives exposure for JPMorgan or any other bank (as opposed the notional number)?
I think the notional numbers are in 10-Qs but know if they will disclose any type of "net" exposure. Even if they do, it would be based on their assumptions about how effective their hedges really are (i.e. if they have 2 OTC derivatives that are not perfectly matched, what if relationships and correlations change and the hedge isn't effective?) and would assume away counterparty risk. I don't think any net derivatives exposure number provided by one of the major financial institutions could be relied on.
You must be right. I can't find net exposure numbers anywhere either. But the notional numbers are so... Zimbabwe. I don't get it, doesn't anyone care about the risks? Seems like no one is focused on this.
Notional is just a fake thing used to get the deltas you want. If I have a trillion notional on something that can never move more than 1% (not saying this is the case, just setting it up people) then the most I can lose is 10 yards (bil). The number may be one trillion, but the risk is only the same as having 10 mil in AIG stock. Of course when that 1% is assumed and doesn't hold there are problems, but most of these are on things like verticals on curve options, they are bound risks, even though the notional might be massive. (own a low call, sell a high call, on a trillion of bonds, the real risk or gain is only the value you paid for options or the difference in strikes.
we know you posted the link for the Dick Bove link, but we're just salivating at the thought of a cage match to the death between Brooklyn Bust Reggie & Queen Jamie DimonD on a barge in the middle of Newtown Creek (sponsored by Exxon of course).
Uh... CEOs are almost always lousy traders of there own stock (see Michael Dell). If you think about it for a minute, it almost has to be true.
Given that the most stocks probably flucatuate +50%/-30% from a LT average EVERY YEAR. Then IF a CEO or corporation could properly buyback / issue with good timing... they would have a license to create money.
But, oh they dont. They all do extra buying and buybacks in 06 and 07... and then they "raise capital" in 08 and early 09.
Its hilarious.
It would have been a much better report by JPM if they said the reason was:
"Bob just sold more stock, and since we know that CEOs trading their own stock have the worst track records in history - you should be doing the opposite. Therefore, TOL = Buy.
officers also often have scheduled sells in advance, so they do not create the appearance of trading on inside knowledge. (of course they do have lots of inside knowledge, but whether that translates to something that is worth acting on is not always a given). but the large number of know-nothings here would not know that.
you're missing the point anyway ... which is regardless of whether he lost a little bit, he and many other top execs are given huge numbers of stock options, which has had the effect of focusing many of their activities on the short-term rather than onging sustainable business performance.
Come on guys, who do you think bought that block from him? You think he just logs into Etrade and hits market sell?
(Possibility #4)
Geithner says to his buddies at JPM, "Hey listen, this Toll jackass is liquidating his position and it's going to tank the whole sector -- and that could bring the whole market down. Do me a favor and get one of your chimps down there in equity research to slap a Strong Buy on his company and stop the bleeding."
JPM lackey responds, "Mmmrf, garble, mrlmf"
(It's hard to talk with Geithner's cock in your mouth)
Earl!! Clean up on Isle 6--
Home builders need to enjoy a recovery, it is a vital industry for illegal aliens. This is more Obama/JPM machinations.
JPM: Hey Obama who do you want to "recover" today?
You can never go back,
and the answer is "no"
And wishing for it only makes it bleed
Good 'ol JPM. I still have the "conviction buy" report on RIM from the day after it hit its all time high (before tanking). Had this research hit our brokerage in paper form, our toiletpaper expense would have fallen dramatically.
The only reports worth reading from JPM were academic pieces and they caused confusion as, if followed, they suggested their equity analysts were waaaay out to lunch!
You're all missing a very important point over the past year of methodical selling. ADIA is a major shareholder. Any of you want to guess what their current investment posture in US equities is (given the state of CRE globally)?

The new Chained Consumer Price Index
August 21, 2002
The Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing a new price index called the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, effective with release of July data on August 16, 2002. Designated the C-CPI-U, the index supplements the existing indexes already produced by the BLS: the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).
The C-CPI-U utilizes expenditure data in adjacent time periods in order to reflect the effect of any substitution that consumers make across item categories in response to changes in relative prices. The new measure is designed to be a closer approximation to a "cost-of-living" index than the CPI-U or CPI-W.
The use of expenditure data for both a base period and the current period in order to average price change across item categories distinguishes the C-CPI-U from the other measures, which use only a single expenditure base period to compute the price change over time.
Expenditure data required for the calculation of the C-CPI-U are available only with a time lag. Thus, the C-CPI-U is being issued first in preliminary form using the latest available expenditure data at release time and will be subject to two subsequent revisions. Accordingly, with release of the July data, "final" values of the C-CPI-U have been issued for the 12 months of 2000, "interim" values have been issued for the 12 months of 2001, and "initial" values have been issued for January-July of 2002.
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Price Index program. Find out more in "Consumer Price Indexes, July 2002" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 02-480.

I feel sleepy very much.
I feel very sleepy.
I feel too sleepy.
I feel sleepy too much.
Which is correct? Is there any difference between them? Thanks for your answers!
Which is correct? Is there any difference between them? Thanks for your answers!
All of these sentences are grammatically correct, but you won't hear the last one very often, and probably never* encounter the first one. They mean different things.
These are possible ways of referring to how often someone feels sleepy. That is, how frequently. There is some of the statement left off, which would make these sentences:
When someone says "too" they are suggesting an excess beyond an acceptable level. In this case, the acceptable level would be feeling sleepy at regular times or just at the end of the day. The following dialog is possible:
"Too" is also used in one of your other examples:
Again, someone saying this is implying a tolerance limit that has been exceeded. Someone might make this declaration as they left the company of a group late at night, and the implication would be that they are too sleepy to continue doing what they are doing. More likely you'd hear it in situations like this:
Most people would say that they are sleepy (not that they "feel" sleepy) unless they are describing something that is similar to sleepiness, especially something externally imposed. c.f.:
More likely people who are very sleepy in normal situations will just say "I am very sleepy."
1 ☼ = descriptively ungrammatical (violates practice, but not rules).
These are incorrect - 'much' is the wrong word for this. "Often" would work better - "I feel sleepy very/too often." As for the difference between them, 'too' implies that the amount of sleepiness is greater than some desired amount, whereas 'very' just says that it's a large amount, without saying whether that is good or bad.
These are correct, and are distinct from the other two in that 'often' is a description of frequency, whereas these describe the intensity of the feeling. The distinction between 'very' and 'too' is the same as above.

Tom Leahy, who played Major Astro for years on KSN and who also worked for KAKE, died Friday following heart surgery.
Leahy's career began in the 1940s and spanned over six decades. He worked in radio, first at Wichita State, then KANS, KAKE Radio, KWBB and KVOO in Tulsa.
He switched to television in the late '50s here on KAKE and created a Sci-Fi show called "The Host And Rodney."It was campy, fun and the audience loved it.
They created live skits that were on two levels, one for the kids and one for the adults.
Tom had a great voice and used it in countless commercials and local plays.
He could play just about any part, but it was his Major Astro character on KSN and that of "the Host And Rodney" on KAKE that is forever cemented in the lives of earlier generations of Wichitans.
As, Major Astro, he ended each day's show by saying "Join me next time when everything will be A-Ok and all systems will be go. Happy orbits, boys and girls."

Overview: A new contender in the cyberpunk RPG genre makes a respectable first showing despite some initial shortcomings.
Cyberpunk, a type of science-fiction defined by "low life and high technology," is a genre in the role-playing game industry that has been long defined by a few strong staples (namely Shadowrun and Mike Pondsmith's humbly named Cyberpunk series) and a number of half-baked pretenders that never fully realize the legacy the legends have left for them. It is a category that requires world building with a certain level of cynicism or at best, closely guarded optimism armored with a healthy dose of realism. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Corporation by Brutal Games.
Corporation is a pen and paper RPG by UK-based Brutal Games initially published in 2009, a game that owes as much, if not more, to the cyberpunk computer games of the early 1990's and the mid to late 2000's as it does to Shadowrun and Cyberpunk. Make no mistake though, Corporation is less like Deus Ex and more similar to both versions of Syndicate (the original 1990's version and the "less then stellar" reboot released in 2012,) trading the "post-cyberpunk" guarded optimism of the former for the classic grim and gritty cynical sarcasm of the latter. For some, the moral ambiguity and lack of a clear "hero" will make the game a bit harder to get into yet this is hardly a noteworthy flaw between the additional corporations listed in Machines of War and the community's eagerness to come up with fan-made corporations of their own.
Much like Syndicate, Corporation puts players in the boots of an "Agent," a post-human black ops specialist in the employ of one of five major international corporations or four smaller minor corporations introduced in the "Machines of War" player supplement (Machines of War will be the subject of its own separate review.) To Brutal Game's credit, all of the five major corporations are reasonably balanced, appropriate for a variety of play styles (though each company definitely has a set theme such as crime dramas or military adventures,) successfully hit upon the "classic" cyberpunk mega-corp archetypes, and are more or less equally morally disgusting with no clear "good guy" between them. The initial five corporations players get to pick from are:
Ai-Jin: A predominantly Chinese manufacturing concern ruled predominantly by Chinese gangsters. Their legal enterprises revolve around mega-construction and heavy industry, their illegal ones range from crime classics like drug running and chop shops to the stuff of sci-fi nightmares like meatdolls. Starting Ai-Jin Agents get the ability to have a second identity complete with appropriate credentials and the electronic paperwork to back it up, handy for getting past UIG checkpoints and fooling customs officials.
Comoros: Indo-African Corporation primarily focused on learning and education, powerful psychics that are arguably the only "good" guys of the five (if only by merit of being slightly less morally revolting then their neighbors.) Their "goodness" generally offset by a pronounced "ends justify the means" attitude; begging the question how far players would be willing to go for the "greater good." Comoros Agents gain a bonus to learning and using "telepathics," the "magic" of the Corporation universe, allowing them to learn new techniques quicker and use them more often.
Eurasian Incorporated: A European corporation that's a classic evil cyberpunk mega-corp in every sense of the phrase, a horrifying evil held in check by equal amounts of comedic incompetence. Dominance of leisure and healthcare industries give them almost literally endless revenue and a flippant disregard for medical ethics makes their research doctors the only thing more terrifying then their agents. EI Agents get the "Expense Account" trait, which basically does what it sounds like; a company account that can be charged for virtually anything that can be deemed "mission critical." Subsequently EI gives players arguably both the weakest and yet most hilariously over-powered ability at the same time. Deniable Resources, Corporation's fan-operated "official" forum, is rife with hilarious stories and most of them invariably involve EI.
Shi Yuriko: Japanese company dominating the electronics and high-tech goods market. Protected by futuristic ninjas and samurai wielding charged-ion katanas, Shi Yuriko follows a corporate philosophy that embraces Bushido and ancient Japanese philosophy… warts and all. Shi Yuriko tends to contain nods to either Gibson-era depictions of Japanese cyberpunks (ie: techno-ninjas and machinegun-toting cyber-samurai) or Japanese culture before the signing of the Harris Treaty. The company maintains a tentative monopoly on ion technology, allowing SY agents exclusive access to a collection of deadly armor-piercing melee weapons.
Western Federation: An ultra-nationalistic American armaments and defense manufacturer that controls all of north and central America, essentially the same sort of company as Ares Macrotechnology from Shadowrun or Militech from Pondsmith's Cyberpunk. Rules over some of the most stable and prosperous regions of the world… regions guided by a puritan philosophy and no small amount of police-state fascism. WF benefits are arguably the most straightforward; agents can use more guns and get access to better weapons then what is normally on the shelf. If you like
Within those five corporations, players can assume a variety of roles ranging from heavy weapons specialists and infiltrators to medics and mechanics using a classless freeform system based off Brutal Game's own proprietary "Brutal Engine," add an appropriate stat and skill together, roll two ten-sided dice, and it's a success if the total dice roll is lower then the sum of your character's attribute and skill. That's it, that is the only dice formula you need to know to do everything but roll damage and combat initiative and those aren't much harder then the core mechanic. Combat tends to be fast and relatively fluid
Equipment and augmentations also pay a small tribute to Corporation's video game inspired roots. Nestled in between the typical pen and paper RPG fare is a collection of weapons that sound like they were clearly lifted from Unreal Tournament such as bladed discus launchers and acid-spraying guns, giving an almost whimsical take on the traditional cyberpunk brutality. Meanwhile, general equipment and augmentations tend to play it a bit safe with a fairly typical selection any Shadowrunner or Cyberpunk would recognize. A bit bland perhaps but then at least Corporation knows what players are going to want… unlike Otherverse: America giving us stats for Exo-Wombs.
Lastly, there are the chapters on the game world and the things players can do in it. And here is where the Corporation core rulebook shows its only real weakness. To summarize, the Corporation core book gives players and game masters a number of fanciful and wonderful concepts clearly inspired from the same culture that brought us Max Headroom and Judge Dredd (the 2000AD comic, not the Stallone movie.) From teleportation stations and ocean-spanning sky bridges to the savagely ultra-violent Weltball and skyscraper-sized Cyberlins (think the giant robots from Pacific Rim,) one cannot say that there is an element of awe-inspiring wonder beneath all that grim and cynicism. There's just one problem, the setting lacks a strong anchor point like Cyberpunk's Night City or Shadowrun's Seattle. To be fair, Brutal Games was quick to follow up with the Eastern Bank supplement (a hot zone in the cold war going on between corporations) and each corporation "splat book" released so far includes a chapter devoted to the company's "capital city," a single metropolis that conveys the spirit of its patron faction nicely. But still, the one thing the core rulebook could have benefited from is a single multi-corporation "crossroads city" given even just a couple pages of exposition.
Final Verdict: Four out of five stars, not perfect but far from irredeemable, a solid morally ambiguous sci-fi cyberpunk RPG and a reassuring sight to see in light of Cyberpunk v.3's commercial failure. Perfect for fans of the Syndicate games that wondered what it might be like to step into the black jackboots of an agent of their own creation…

Recap |
Final Stats
Arkansas Head Coach Mike Anderson
Opening Statement:
"Obviously I was disappointed that we came up a little short, but I told our guys I loved the effort and they didn't lose it - we just ran out of time. Alabama did a good job of making free throws down the stretch. Even in the second half, I thought our defense was a lot better limiting them to field goals and disrupting them on offense - I thought we did a good job. The game went down to the last second. I told our guys, we have to make plays down the stretch and we didn't. Whether it is that [Andrew] Steele shoots the ball and we have to get that loose ball - that rebound. We just couldn't quite make those plays."
On if rebounding played a factor in tonight's game:
"I thought right there at the end, it really did - in the second half. There were opportunities that we were right there in position for and we didn't come up with them. It goes back to `the games are won in the paint' and of course neither team shot the ball really well - we shot 15 percent from three-point land, three-out-of-19, they were three-of-11. So with that being said there is going to be a lot of rebounds and they did a good job of getting offensive rebounds and they won it at the free-throw line."
On Michael Qualls's play tonight:
"I thought [his play] was big for us. I think that is going to pay dividends as we continue throughout this season. We are looking for someone to breakout and really give us a big lift and he certainly did. I thought his energy was contagious out there. When they took a double-digit lead in the first half, I think he was one of the ones that really sparked us. We have to have guys with energy on our basketball team, and that was a big lift off the bench."
Arkansas Freshman Guard Michael Qualls
On what was the difference in the game:
"The difference in the game was basically just who wanted it more. We tried to come out - we tried to give our best effort but, you know, we fell short. That's basically what I saw."
On difference between this and other road games:
"Basically all you need is a coach who believes in you and an opportunity and basically (Mike Anderson) just gave me an opportunity and I just took it and ran with it. But I could have did more. There were some big time rebounds that I didn't get, some steals that I think I could have gotten, so I'm not too impressed with my game to be honest. I know I could have given more, but it did do me some good to see that our team was playing better."
On whether this game had different feel than other road games:
"It had a very different feel. You know, we probably didn't get the shot that we wanted, but at the same time, going down the stretch, I missed the dunk. Had I made my dunk, then we're down by one and we could have maybe gotten a better shot."
Arkansas Sophomore Guard BJ Young
On being in this road game until the very end:
"It was okay. We fought. We didn't get it done. I could have made some plays down the stretch. We made a couple; we didn't make enough, but we fought hard."
On how this game was kept close:
"We played a little bit better defense. We rebounded better. We stayed together and we made plays on the court. We didn't make enough tonight, but we made some of the right plays to get back in the game."
Alabama Head Coach Anthony Grant
Opening statement:
"We found a way to win. It wasn't pretty. There were obviously thing in the game we would have liked to have done differently, but at the end of the day when it came down to crunch time, our guys found a way. We did a great job at the free-throw line tonight. We had some big stops at the end of game. We found a way."
On rebounding:
"In the first half we didn't do a very good job rebounding the ball. Nine of their 23 points in the first half were second-chance points off offensive rebounds. That was a key for us. We felt like we had 10 turnovers, giving up six offensive rebounds in the first half and we felt those were critical. In the second half we had 11 defensive rebounds and they got eight offensive rebounds. Many of those came late in the half.
I thought we did a much better job down the stretch of fighting for rebounds and coming up with those loose balls.
It seems like we got out of rhythm somewhere late in the first half, the last four or five minutes. We got out of rhythm and stayed out of rhythm the rest of the game. I give Arkansas credit. They did a good job switching, pressuring and taking us out of the stuff we wanted to run. We had a difficult time running plays, but when it came down to it we just had to go make plays. We were able to make enough of them at the end to win."
Alabama Sophomore Guard Trevor Lacey
On what it means to pull out the win on such a close game:
"It's great knowing that we can execute at the end and knowing that we can finish them off when we had the lead and step up and make plays at the end and defend and turn them over. "
On how tough it will be to play Vanderbilt in just two days:
"I think the biggest thing is for us to learn personnel, just try to learn as much as we can about their players and what they do. We probably won't be able to go through all their actions and what they like to run throughout the game, but we just need to know personnel tendencies."
Alabama Sophomore Guard Levi Randolph
On what it means to pull out the win on such a close game:
"It's a good feeling to know that when adversity hits us we can fight through and keep playing for a full forty minutes. Like Coach (Anthony Grant) always says, it's a forty minute game. Sometimes things are going to happen, but we just have to continue to play through."
"I think this is the first time this has happened this season. We just have to get focused, come in tomorrow and practice and do the things that Coach is asking us to do."
