Gin, Nic, Walt and Beranmee get together to wish everyone a happy new year.
That said with a new year coming, it's time to look back, now we know we all did a show a while ago about our top games of the last generation, but this time it's a look at our top games of 2013, originally it was due to be a top 5 per person but some of us got a bit greedy (myself included).
If I included the usual games discussed section here it would kind of ruin the whole point to this show, so I'll just have to ask that you listen.
If you have any comments or agree/disagree with anything said then by all means contact us either by email or over the PSN.

There's something so grungy and bar-rock about Aerosmith that it's easy to underestimate their towering stature in pop-music history. To begin with, the bad boys from Beantown are one of Mother Earth's 20 biggest-selling artists of all time (sandwiched next to the likes of U2, Billy Joel and Phil Collins). When you narrow that market to the United States, they climb into the Top 15. In fact, according to most sales figures, America has purchased more records from Aerosmith than from the Stones -- kind of insane, right? Related to this number is the fact that they've moved more units than any other American rock band ever; this includes both The Eagles and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band.
The enormity of that success wouldn't have been possible without the band's improbable revival in the late '80s, when their collaboration with Run-D.M.C. on the pioneering rap-rock fusion "Walk This Way" led to the comeback blockbuster Permanent Vacation, which led to even more platinum blockbusters: Pump, Get a Grip, Nine Lives. Plus, all those power-ballad videos starring a young Alicia Silverstone; those were on MTV, like, constantly back in the '90s. Then, after all that, came "Jaded" and Super Bowl XXXV, during which just about every set of eyes in the country witnessed the timelessly wild Steven Tyler romp wth Britney, 'NSYNC and Mary J. Blige.
Of course, none of what transpired in the '80s, '90s and '00s would ever have happened were it not for the group's '70s legacy. Back then, they were one of the most ferocious (and funkiest) bands on the planet. In addition to utterly classic jams like "Sweet Emotion," "Back in the Saddle" and "Dream On," they unleashed a string of albums -- including the 1-2-3 punch of Toys in the Attic, Rocks and Draw the Line -- that to this day represent some of the very best hard rock ever produced.
So yeah, Aerosmith rule, people. Here's a complete guide to their indomitable catalog.

This forum format is new to me, so I hope I communicate OK...
Where: Back in Missouri. Park Hills, about an hour or so south of St. Louis. 5 Ozark acres in the country.
Contact: Stick with email: email@example.com I don't care for Facebook, but it looks like I won't be able to avoid it much longer.
I've been checking up on you occasionally...your artwork moreso. Didn't expect you move from Boston area. You landed in a great place, though. I lived in Augusta, GA for a bit, and traveled northward...beautiful! I collect custom knives, and have a few friends in your area.
BTW, to keep the acoustic guitar theme, the Martin I mentioned has brief, but distinguished provenance. I was moving to Palm Springs with the guitar in the luggage. It was October 1, 1977 and I was approaching Cordes Junction, Az. Yep, I went to the Arcosanti Festival. While I was there, Jackson Browne came to play, and drafted me as "roadie" and sound engineer. Browne played the Martin for one song "Linda Paloma". I never learned to play, and left the guitar in storage at a luthier in Santa Barbara.
It's been a long, winding road!

Following its acquisition by AOL in February, gdgt has combined forces with Engadget and rebranded gdgt Live, its successful consumer event series. The new event series will be called Engadget+gdgt Live, a much-needed platform for technology brands to meet face-to-face with hard-to-reach tech enthusiasts, show off their latest products and services, and get key feedback from this influential, but hard-to-reach community.
Each gdgt Live event is a unique opportunity for companies to build relationships with today's technology tastemakers. Since the first event in 2009, gdgt Live has become an integral element in the consumer marketing strategy of some of the world's biggest technology companies. In just the last year industry leaders like Belkin, HP, HTC, Lenovo, Logitech, Microsoft, Motorola, NETGEAR, Olympus, Sony, Speck, T-Mobile, TiVo, Western Digital and many others have participated in multiple events. gdgt Live has held 21 events seven across cities.
The events have been attended by over 20,000 consumers as well journalists from virtually all the leading technology publications, including ARS Technica, CNET, CNN, Engadget, Gizmodo, Mashable, PC Magazine, TechCrunch, TechMeme, The New York Times, TWiT, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Wired, and lots more. gdgt Live has also played host to some of the country's hottest consumer tech startups including Aviary, Backupify, Boxee, Bug Labs, Connected Data, Gazelle.com, Kobo, MakerBot, Sifteo, Simple TV, Sphero, and many more.
Engadget will be promoting the events on the site and through social media channels, and the Engadget editors are creating a new conference program for the next event in New York in June. From there, Engadget+gdgt Live events will visit San Diego, Boston, Seattle, and San Francisco. The 2014 schedule will kick off with the first-ever Engadget+gdgt Live event at CES in January.

Check Out The New Engadget!
Have you taken a close look at Engadget today? Notice anything different? That's right, Engadget got a makeover!
Starting today, the site known for obsessive daily coverage of everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics will switch over to a responsive Web design, meaning the site looks just as good on tablets and smartphones as it does on the traditional desktop.
Why the change? Editor in chief Tim Stevens explains, "More than half of our traffic comes from tablets and smartphones, and our old site simply wasn't doing those platforms justice."
So whether you're reading Engadget from your desk at work, your phone on the bus ride home or on a tablet from the comfort of your couch, the site recognizes your device and tailors your experience accordingly. It can even rearrange the layout based on portrait or landscape mode to give you the best look possible.
More than just a treat for the eyes, though, the Engadget redesign serves an additional purpose – better performance.
The Engadget team approached the redesign with the goal of making the site cleaner, simpler and leaner, bringing you the same authoritative gadget news and in-depth product reviews without any wait time. Plus, replacing data-heavy graphics with a simpler HTML5 and text coding means Engadget's pages load faster than before and show up much cleaner on high-resolution displays, like Apple's retina line of products.

A couple of days ago, ESPN Insider posted a list of potential targets that the Dodgers might pursue in the coming weeks. The list includes:
- Matt Garza, RHP-- Chicago Cubs
- Ryan Dempster, RHP -- Chicago Cubs
- Zack Greinke, RHP -- Milwaukee Brewers
- Michael Cuddyer, OF -- Colorado Rockies
- Josh Willingham, OF -- Minnesota Twins
- Huston Street, RHP -- San Diego Padres
- Brett Myers, RHP -- Houston Astros
- Brandon League, RHP -- Seattle Mariners
- Brandon Inge, 3B -- Oakland Athletics
- Carlos Quentin, OF -- San Diego Padres
- Justin Morneau, 1B -- Minnesota Twins
Who might the Dodgers be willing to part with in order to entice dealing clubs? The Insider suggests...
The Dodgers' farm system isn't exactly flush with elite talent, but they could be willing to include big-league roster members such as Juan Rivera, Tony Gwynn, Jr., and Ivan De Jesus to acquire the right players.
Top prospects such as right-handers Zach Lee, Chris Withrow, Ethan Martin, Allen Webster and Angel Sanchez could be parts of a package, as could outfielder Joc Pederson and catcher Tim Federowicz, the club's top non-pitching prospects.
It will be an interesting six weeks, indeed.

Punxsutawney Phil isn't really needed this year to tell us that we're in for a long and nasty winter, but the groundhog confirmed it by seeing his shadow early Sunday morning. Undoubtedly, we are in for six more weeks of winter in a winter we won't soon forget, according to an CBS News report on Sunday.
Besides Punxsutawaney, Pennsylvania Phil not having good winter news for us, New York's Staten Island Chuck had the same bad news in confirming more winter, too. During the New York City festivities, new mayor – Mayor Bill de Blasio – dropped the groundhog he was trying to handle.
Publicly, this winter is turning out to be a bad one of Mayor de Blasio. He made page-two headlines a couple of weeks ago when he was out shoveling his sidewalk in front of his residence. As the press' video recorders were rolling and cameras were snapping photos, the new mayor was throwing his over-abundance of snow onto the city's street – which, of course, is against the law.
De Blasio might want to find his office and get some city work done.
Regarding New York City's Punxsutawney Phil, he survived the drop.

I've installed proftpd on my debian box but I'm having having some trouble with the configuration.
In my proftpd.conf I've added;
DefaultRoot ~ !ftp_special
This works fine in that all users except members of ftp-special are unable to navigate outside of their home folder. However, I want users that are members of ftp-special to enter a special home folder when logging on to the ftp server but at the same time I want them to be able to navigate the entire server.
Right now, if a user that is a member of ftp-special logs on, his entry-point is the root ( / ).
Thanks in advance.

Value Investing: 5 Most Profitable Stocks in the Warren Buffett Portfolio
Are they right for value investors?
Management turnover has hindered the company's expansion and investors are starting to grow
about a finding successor for their 83-year-old CEO, the eminent Warren Buffett.
For now, however, Buffett continues in his role as the proverbial king of value investing, making leadership changes and publicly criticizing the "
extreme idiocy
" of Washington on TV.
And, as today's huge price changes in both
(NASDAQ:AAPL) and
(OTCMKTS:BURBY) illustrate, leadership can have a huge impact on a stock's share price.
It can be hard for value investors to make money if a stock doesn't have much of an upswing. That's why value investors usually buy during periods of economic uncertainty, as Buffett did during the financial crisis. Those investments netted him over $10 billion so far, as the
Wall Street Journal
this past weekend.
Investing Ideas: The Warren Buffett Portfolio
Taking a page out of Warren Buffett's playbook, we decided to screen the 40 biggest publicly traded holdings that are listed in
Berkshire Hathaway's
(NYSE:BRK.A) portfolio for profitability. Are any stocks surpassing even Buffett's astute expectations?
To do that we looked at gross, operating, and pre-tax margins over the
trailing twelve months (TTM)
, which together give a picture of how efficiently a company has been building its profits over the course of the last year. Companies beating their industry average may be poised for future growth.
And as a value investor, Buffett considers other factors besides leadership and margins, such a as low price-to-equity ratio (P/E). So for comparison, we included the P/E ratio for the five stocks left on our list.

College Hockey:Hockey East reprimands coaches Cronin, Parker
Hockey East announced Thursday that it had written letters of reprimand to Northeastern head coach Greg Cronin and Boston University head coach Jack Parker for their actions following the March 13 quarterfinal game at Agganis Arena.
Post-game that night, Cronin and Parker allegedly had a face-to-face argument on the ice and the referees had to separate the two.
Both coaches have acknowledged that their behavior was inappropriate and all parties involved have issued appropriate apologies.
The reprimands were issued jointly by Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna and Massachusetts director of athletics John McCutcheon, the chair of the Hockey East Executive Committee.

- Blueliner
Coach Parker's behavior was inappropriate? My, oh my. I am shocked. Although if you look at how he has acted the last 20 years or so of his career, intimidation and bullying are part of his portfolio.
- James
Wow. You're retarded.
- Yorkfanclub
Parker's style of coaching my rub certain people the wrong way, but he is a legend in college hockey. Of course this never would have happened had Cronin not been such a scumbag. I don't know if the official report of the referees telling only the NU players to leave the ice before the handshake for no aparrent reason is true. It doesn't quite add up. Parker was upset because a his season was ended by a dirty coach with dirty players who insulted him and his team and the fans by not shaking hands and then proceeded to acost one of his players. Parker should have done Hockey East (and all of college hockey) a favor and punched that piece of garbage Cronin in the face.
- Until Proven
At least Cronin has a pretty good job… I assume you collect garbage for a living.
- eglsfn
Haha not for long he doesn't. BU sucks, NU sucks. BC has dominated for the past decade and will continue this decade. Parker is just an angry old man who doesn't belong in college hockey. NU plays dirty and everyone knows it, but the better team came through again and is gonna win another title.
- BC sucks
Cc 8 BC 4?
- Cantusespaces?
Hey there bitter BU fan, good to hear from you.
- Billy
You are pretty tough behind a keyboard buddy. Cronin would kick your sorry behind after he kicked old man Parker's. Take the time and drive down to Mathews Arena, and call Cronin garbage. His doors always open tough guy.
- Jim
That is such a terrible thing to say to someone or in general
- neely
I'm sure that hardly anyone remembers coach parker grabbing a referee by his jersey and pulling him back toward the bench at UNH. Oddly enough the referee threw him out of that game, weird. haha Can anyone else name a coach in Hockey East that has actually grabbed a ref and yanked him back to the bench other than "legendary" coach parker?
- Croninisinnocent?
I'll bet I can name a coach who has been involved in 3 separate instances of cheating.
- nhhkydad
Not only did he get thrown out of that game but he also was suspended for the next game. and where was he the next night? up in the school's pressbox feading info by mic and headphones down to the bench – thrown out again!!!
- Bruce Crowder
Cronin getting into a public argument with a legendary coach, post recruiting scandal…isn't this enough from this guy? Northeastern may be a program on the rise, but if they are going to allow Cronin to be the face of the program it is truly embarassing.
- L4x16
A BU player hits one of your players after time expires who is chasing down BU's last desperate shot from the red line? I think i'd rather my coach stand up for me… no point to finish your check there after time expires, cheap shot from a frustrated team
- Timosullivanxbhs
whats up speed racer? Have n you yet to realize that everybody else has moved on and is content with cronin
- GoNU
Good call on this being speed racer. Funny how he never mentions that Cronin got NU into the Garden twice in 3 years, has had the best teams in years, and the fact that his boy Crowder is out of the game completely. So much bitterness just because he's a fan who wants to be important and involved and the current staff didn't care.
- Sngators
Maybe Lowell or Providence will bring Crowder back, that would be interesting.
- DMC Boston
Parker is losing it….
- Jnyc68
Parker may be a legend, but he and his teams have been successful by being talented and well coached, but wrapped in a mean-spirited, bad sportsmanship, bullying philosphy that starts and ends with Parker.
The real legend in Hockey East is Jerry York and he has more wins then Parker, more National Titles then Parker and has done it with class. Time to retire Jackie.
- Murphhc16
- Cyberump
That is SO true, just one MORE reason why I hate BU. I remember a few years ago when BC payed BU in the regional Final! That was the night I lost ANY respect I had for Jack Parker. BC was in control late in the 3rd with a 5-0 lead, and the BU players knowing it was over started taking cheap shot after cheap shot at the BC players( not just opinion, they kept getting called for it) And Coach York, who never says much at one point during the nonsense, got up on the boards and just looked at parker as if to ask " hey. are you gonna do something about this or not"? and parker just stood there , arms folded and ignored York letting the carnage continue. totally classless!!!
- Unhockey
Same thing happened against UNH at the Walter Brown. UNH came from behind and was winning 5-2. Parker sent Freddy Meyer out with 50 seconds left in the game. He skated right up behind Darren Haydar (who was the best player in the country at the time) and well away from the puck, chopped him in the back of the legs. From the bench Meyer made a b-line right to Haydar. It was obviously an intentional penalty with not even a play on the puck in between. Up to that point, it was the most disgusting, intentional dirty "play" I had ever seen on the ice. That was the day I became a defacto BC fan. That and the frat boys throwing trash at Mike Ayers while he was in his crease.
- Blueliner
I remember that game. It was in Worcester at the DCU.[ It may have been called the Centrum in those days]. You have described it accurately.

I lost respect for Jerry York when he gave a scholarship to Ulf Samuelsson's son; already that apple isn't falling very far from the tree. Hard to explain why Jerry York would want anything to do with a second-liner who got kicked off "Classless" Parker's squad for disciplinary violations, if he were indeed as classy as you make him out. York and Parker are both hockey legends and fiery competitors, but don't for a second pretend that York is some kind of saint.
- DaveDan
I could not disagree more. Your postulation about Parker's 'bullying…..' is unsubstantiated.
Both York and Parker are legendary. Parker runs a tight ship noted by disciplinary actions to players that do not adhere to his player conduct policy. Top notch and lesser players alike. I don't see that same level of personal conduct player discipline with York's teams. In the last year there was the car crash / alcohol incident involving BC hockey players – no action followed. Also, York has agreed to bring Saponari to BC following his boot off the BU program. York did not even place a courtesy call to Parker ahead of the Saponari 'recruitment' announcement. That, I am told, set Parker off. The "right" classy action, IMO is a conversation initiated by York with Parker. Saponari was later denied by BC admissions office. Job well done York.

Parker, the head of Boston Hockey Mafia, gets into a tiff with Greg Cronin. What would the monsignour say?
- NU'92, BUMed '97
Clendening (a BU Frosh, I mispell his name all the time) put in a late hit after game 3 that mike milbury would be proud. He was pulled off by the refs (who at this point decided to separate the two teams and told NU to forgo the handshake and hit the showers). Clendening stopped by the NU bench and said something like "Way to pull your pu$$ies off the ice.." to Cronin (I heard him say it, I was in 103 B, 2). Cronin grabbed his arm (which anyone could see pissed off Parker), and told him it was the refs decision and that he should shut his mouth or something like that (It was probably more colorful but the NU fan section was making more noise at that point then in the entire series and I couldn't here it). Likewise, I couldn't hear what Parker or Cronin were yelling directly at each other when at center ice, but they both said it stemmed from the CONFUSION surrounding the end of the game.
To show their sportsmanship, Cronin shook the BU players hands off ice, and Parker shook the NU players hands off ice. Should the couches be repremanded? Yes, it looked bad. Should people be calling for their jobs?…. No. This is hockey people, remember that. Keep your politics off the ice….
Until Proven,
I was on the opposite side of the side (and most likely rooting interest), and you've got it right. This was at the end of what was essentially a 5 game series, and an emotional one to boot. Emotions got a bit carried away, but what happened in the end- the coaches HUGGED each other and each coach gave best wishes to the other team (though Cronin did do it on the ice).
I fault the refs more than the coaches or the players. This ended within a half hour of the end of the game. It should have stayed that way.
- Adevita2003
For those commenting on this who weren't at the game to see what happened is a joke. You have no idea what you're talking about…Cheap shot by Clendenig…Cronin goes after said player and has to be restrained. Parker really didn't do anything except yell over at Cronin to find out what was going on…5 Seconds later, the 2 coaching were hugging…Northeastern players left the ice gesturing classlessly towards BU players and fans. I don't know, but I saw it with my own 2 eyes, and Jack wasn't the one at fault here…
- Adevita2003
And by the way, people said Parker was losing it prior to 2009 too…How quickly people forget.

Too bad Parker's heart surgery was successful. Only way he'll retire is following death.
- Jrobishaw
Parker grabbed a ref last year and should of been suspended.He;s been intimidating refs for years.you,ll never see York do that.
Two best Hockey coaches in Boston are Jerry York and Ted Donato.
Unlike Parker, both these coaches play clean and are good men.
Donato may have the toughest admissions department on the planet, but he will win soon.
- HelmetHead
Toughest admission department on the planet? I'm so tired of that excuse. That's true for regular students, but not athletes. I spent twelve years working at a Mass. prep-school that sent tons of kids to play college hockey, and my ex-girlfriend worked in the Harvard admission office. Getting a recruited athlete into Harvard is no different than it is for Yale, Colgate, BC, RPI, Union, or tons of other schools that have some academic standards. True, it's not the same as Lake State or Niagara, but Harvard fans need to stop making excuses for their program by blaming their admission office.

Coach Parker, for all his success, is a disgrace to NCAA hockey because he so willingly displays blatant disrespect for the competition and incredibly poor sportsmanship. This is what I have come to know him for, more so than his victories. Not only is he a horrible ambassador to the game, but he clearly promotes that same lack of sportsmanship and respect in his players.
As a North Dakota fan, I am no big supporter of BC. They have been in our path too often and we have not always been the victor. You compare a guy like Jerry York to Jack Parker though. York has been more successful overall. He has been more consistent with that success. And he has been a constant example of class and sportsmanship on and off the ice. There is a reason that even his rivals, like us at North Dakota, have great respect for him. Parker? The guy is simly a disgrace…
- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=501157411 Joey Loeffler Jr
I'm sorry, being a UND fan myself, I can't help but remember Hakstol standing over the boards flipping off the refs. Sometimes people get emotional . . . thats a human response. Has Parker crossed the line before? Yes. Is a verbal argument with another coach a huge deal? No.
- HelmetHead
And that letter of reprimand is now sitting, unread, in Jack Parker's secretary's trash bin. What a bunch of crap this is. Parker has been a classless jackass for years. His complete lack of sportsmanship is an embarrassment (although unfortunately all-too-common in sports in this day and age). Will Hockey East ever do anything about it? No. A letter of reprimand isn't even enough to merit the term "slap on the wrist." It's NOTHING. Hockey East is making a bogus show while continuing to kiss Parker's ass because all they care about is wins and not sportsmanship.
- Morty631
I covered UNH hockey for six years and interviewed Parker once. I caught and complimented him for deliberately delaying line changes (which I thought was clever at the time because it drove Umile insane) and all Parker had to say to me was, "Who the F*** are you? I didn't do anything". I don't expect anyone to enjoy being interviewed, but I do expect basic human respect, whick Parker clearly lacks. There were no winks or nudges and after that moment he wouldn't give me the time of day. Perhaps he misunderstood, but I think it more likely that he's just an unhappy person that wears corrective shoes. Umile, even when angry and frustrated managed to be professional and respectful, like the rest of HE.

College Hockey:Six Straight
Plattsburgh No. 1 Again, University of Wisconsin-Superior Strengthens Hold on Second; UW-Stevens Point and New England College Rejoin Fray while Geneseo and Bowdoin Fall Out of Poll
MINNEAPOLIS — In their sixth consecutive poll atop the national rankings, the still-unbeaten Plattsburgh Cardinals retightened their grip on Division III hockey in earning 15 out of a possible 20 first place votes. The buzzing (and clearly undaunted) Yellowjackets from the University of Wisconsin-Superior, now 15-1-1 on the season, remained in second, receiving the other five top tallies.
Despite a 3-2 loss at St. Thomas, defending national champion St. Norbert remained third (although lost their lone first place vote) after topping St. Marys, 5-1, in their next game. Middlebury was not so fortunate. After losing at home to Castleton and beating Skidmore, the Panthers dropped a spot to fourth.
Taking their place was red-hot St. Scholastica, winners of eight in a row and who are now 12-3-1 on the year.
By virtue of their 5-3 win on the road at Potsdam, the Elmira Soaring Eagles rose one spot to sixth. UW-Stout fell two spots to seventh after defeating St. Johns, 5-3, before falling to Concordia (MN), 3-1.
Rungs eight and nine remained unchanged (Adrian and Hobart), despite the Bulldogs dominant display — 9-0 and 7-0 wins over Concordia (WI) — and the Statesmens four exhibition game tour through the French Alps.
The Oswego Lakers continued their remarkable push as of late, edging Hamilton, 2-1, to remain No. 10 in the nation.
Another team continually on the move up is Manhattanville. Vying in four contests in a six day span, the Valiants recorded three wins (Connecticut College, Becker, Nichols) and a tie (Curry) to jump two spots up to No. 11. A home loss and tie to UW Eau Claire (4-1) and Stevens Point (0-0), respectively, dropped the Hamline Pipers two rungs down to No. 12.
Adjacently, that rare scoreless tie — coupled with doubling up Augsburg on the road, 6-3 — made the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point this weeks biggest mover, jumping up to No. 13 after being unranked in the last poll.
The Norwich Cadets hit a rough patch, falling to No. 1 Plattsburgh (3-1) and Tufts (2-1), before salvaging the week by eking by Conn. College, 2-1. Previously unranked New England College — now 9-2-0 on the season — generated impressive wins over then-No. 15 Bowdoin and Colby to move back among the nations elite.
After a combined 0-3 week, Geneseo and the aforementioned Polar Bears fell out of the top 15.

Book synopsis
For over four decades, Basil Bernstein researched 'the internal organisation and educational context of the school' specifically, and educational systems generally. In particular, he was interested in the powerful forms of knowledge transmitted through schooling systems; who gained access to these forms of knowledge; how they did so; and with what consequences. His research began by examining the differences between language and communication patterns in the institutions of the home/family and of the school, and extended to examining the structuring of pedagogic discourse from the level of the state to the classroom.
This collection brings together chapters by researchers from South Africa, Portugal, the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia, to build on the theoretical concepts developed by Bernstein to explore issues of access and acquisition to school knowledge. In addition, contributors explore the strengths and limitations of Bernstein's work for understanding the structuring of educational institutions, as well as the potential of the theory for assisting educators to make a difference in the lives of students.

Space is a luxury nowadays, but is space a priority over haunted tales and evil ghosts? A17-acre Italian island called Poveglia is currently up for sale - although it is located between Venice and Lido, one of the most popular tourism locations in the world, the island has been labelled as the "world's most haunted island".
The island is known for its long history of sickness and death, as it used to be a dumping ground for plague patients and was home to a mental hospital, where a mad doctor performed lobotomies on patients with hammers, hand drills and chisels. Due to these series of traumatic events, people believe that the island is haunted by hundreds of thousands of tortured spirits. The history of the island has led to the spread of popular haunted tales, such as a plague victim called Little Maria who looks out across the lagoon towards her home while standing and crying. A presenter of the Travel Channel even claims that he was possessed by a ghost after a short visit to the island.
Although the island does not receive many visitors other than a few paranormal investigator enthusiasts, the island is currently up for sale is because the Italian government hopes this would reduce the public debt of the country. Other than the haunted island Poveglia, Italy is also putting other properties for sale, such as a 15th century castle and an old monastery.
Hopefully the sales of these precious Italian properties would aid the country in its current financial crisis, as millionaires from other countries are constantly on the lookout for ways to spend their money on frivolous things. The government probably won't have any trouble selling the island despite its reputation, since some rich people are not superstitious and therefore they would pay any price to have that piece of land.

ELYRIA – The owners of six bars targeted for liquor license review by the city will not be lumped together in an all-or-nothing battle when they face off before agents from the state Division of Liquor Control.
The state agency has received requests from the city to hold hearings to determine if licenses should be renewed at Ely's Inn, Red Fox Lounge, New Image Sports Bar, Toy Box Night Club, Vic's Nightclub and the T&A Bar. The notices were received by the state Friday, days before the Aug. 31 deadline the city had to formally object to the annual renewals.
As of Monday, hearings have yet to be scheduled, said Matt Mullins, spokesman for the Division of Liquor Control.
When the hearings are held, Police Chief Duane Whitely said, bars will not be pitted against one another.
"I can't see the state holding one bar accountable for the actions of another," he said.
Therefore, each case will be handled individually, he said.
Officers already are keeping track of crime in and around bars, and a special bar detail developed earlier this summer by Whitely is working to keep problems at the bars to a minimum.
The detail, which operates primarily 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, is designed to have officers walking through downtown bars for unannounced visits throughout peak hours of operation on the weekends. They are there to keep the peace and enforce laws when needed.
The idea to put more officers on the streets came about after a shooting in early May at the Toy Box Night Club sent three people to the hospital. A 21-year-old Elyria man has since turned himself into police in connection with the shooting, but the bloodshed left city officials wondering if the violence in downtown was out of control.
In addition to the May 8 shooting at the Broad Street bar, police officers have dealt with other shootings, street brawls and stabbings in and around some downtown bars in recent months.
City officials first responded to the violence by proposing alcohol be prohibited from the area, but City Council quickly learned it did not have the power to dry out the area. That's when the idea was narrowed to dealing with specific bars that are considered establishments of concern for police.
Whitely said the city has never targeted the liquor permits of city bars collectively or individually.
Nonetheless, the state has rules for how each renewal objection will be handled, including what evidence the state will consider and who can testify at the hearings on behalf of the city and permit holders.
Although the safety and welfare of citizens is its first priority, the division is guided by statutes, rules and legal cases in determining whether to overrule or sustain an objection, according to documentation that outlines the process.
The cases against each bar will hinge on whether the city can prove one of the following conditions:
— The permit holder has had a conviction of a crime related to their ability to operate a liquor establishment.
— The applicant has an addiction to alcohol or drugs.
— The permit holder operates with disregard for laws, regulations or local ordinances.
— When applying for the license, the permit holder lied or misrepresented the truth.
— Police or law enforcement officers have trouble gaining entrance to the bar.
— The location of the bar interferes with the public decency, sobriety, peace or good order of the neighborhood.
— The saturation in the neighborhood is such that renewal of the permit would be detrimental to the public.
Mullins said he cannot speculate on when decisions will be rendered once the hearings have been held.

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 cup salsa
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn, thawed
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

"My husband and I, as well as our three kids, LOVED this. And I enjoyed how simple it was, not only to make but also to clean up--just toss out the foil! I didn't have enough corn and beans for the recipe so I ended up substituting a frozen broccoli and cauliflower mix, and it smelled and tasted heavenly. We'll definitely be making this again."

"This was sooo good! A big hit. I didn't have a package fresh or frozen corn so I used a bag of a mix of vegetables: asparagus, corn and carrots and that worked out just fine."

Deliverables & Resources
Higher Education Sustainability Initiative - The American University in Cairo
Organization(s) making commitmentThe American University in Cairo
Achievement of CommitmentWork on reduction of carbon footprint and water consumption, as well as continuing curriculum development.
How this will be achievedWe will analyze AUC's carbon footprint and issue a report in 2012 detailing all major components of AUC's carbon footprint in Fiscal Year 2011. We will update our carbon footprint report at least bi-annually thereafter.
We will significantly reduce our carbon footprint by reducing the university's energy consumption by approximately one third between 2012 and 2015, and by encouraging more students, faculty and staff to use bus transportation to commute to the university rather than using private cars. We will also adopt incentives to encourage car-pooling.
We will significantly reduce the university's water consumption by implementing a system of using recycled water to irrigate campus landscaping.
We will integrate sustainable development concepts into our undergraduate core curriculum and into our master's level degree programs.
We will promote cooperation on sustainability matters among Egyptian universities and among higher education institutions in the Middle East and North Africa, for example by convening a regional conference to share sustainability best practices.

Illinois Hit Hard with Recalled Stryker Hips
Over 200 individuals living in North Central Illinois, particularly in Marshall County, La Salle, Spring Valley, Peru and surrounding areas have received the recalled Stryker Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II modular-neck stem devices.
These devices are defective and may necessitate painful and expensive revision surgeries. It is important to see your doctor and to consult an attorney to protect your legal rights.
It is possible that your doctor may have sent you a letter notifying you of the recall. If this is the case you should follow your doctor's suggestions. You may be entitled to compensation for the injures that you have sustained due to corrosion and fretting. This corrosion and fretting leads to a phenomenon known as metalosis that was previously discussed on this blog.
In fact, recently plaintiffs in New Jersey have filed enough lawsuits that the state has consolidated all of the cases in front of one judge. This process will likely continue in other states including Illinois.
You may contact Ryan R Bradley if you have questions and concerns about the Stryker Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II modular-neck stem device recall.

Identifies states with the least competitive health insurance markets
"The broad scope of the new AMA analysis provides the most complete picture of the consolidation trend in health insurance markets," said AMA President Jeremy A. Lazarus, M.D. "The new data demonstrate that most areas of the country have a single health insurer with an anticompetitive share of the HMO, PPO or POS market."
The 2012 edition of AMA's Competition in Health Insurance: A Comprehensive Study of U.S. Markets is the largest analysis of its kind, reporting commercial health insurance market shares and market concentration levels for 385 metropolitan areas in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The AMA's latest findings regarding competition in the health insurance industry include:
"It appears that consolidation has resulted in the possession and exercise of health insurer monopoly power," the study notes, pointing to increased premiums, watered-down benefits and insurers' growing profitability as evidence that highly concentrated markets harm patients and physicians.
The AMA's Competition in Health Insurance: A Comprehensive Study of U.S. Markets is free to members. Non-members can purchase the study for $150. To order the study, please visit the AMA Bookstore online, or call (800) 621-8335 and mention item number OP427112.
