What would I need to look into for effects I can apply to images in XNA 4.0?
What I want to do is smooth the edges of the places where the color comes in contact with the (blank) back ground, then I guess you could say 'Chroma Key' out a few colors, then change the way a few colors look. (Like change dark blue to light green, etc). Is this possible? If so what Do i need to look into in XNA?
Below is the image (which will be downloaded anew every time the program is run) that I want to apply the said effects too.

I guess, you mean thermal effect. You should experiment with thermal vision pixel shaders.

Singapore – Temasek Holdings raised its stake in China's biggest lender, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., by purchasing additional Hong Kong-listed shares from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in a $2.3 billion deal that allows the Singapore state investment firm to shore up its presence in China, people familiar with the transaction said Monday.
Temasek bought 3.55 billion H-shares of ICBC, representing a 4% stake in the Hong Kong capital base, at HK$5.05 each, a 3.1% discount to their Friday closing price of HK$5.21, according to a term sheet seen by Dow Jones Newswires. According to a person familiar with the situation, Goldman sold US$2.5 billion worth of H-shares in ICBC with Temasek buying $2.3 billion worth, while the rest were sold to unnamed institutional investors.

(AP) A "Goldilocks" was found sleeping in a Chehalis home. Deputy Police Chief Randy Kaut said when the family woke up Wednesday they found an 18-year-old stranger asleep in a bed.
When they awoke the woman she said a friend named Jeremy had dropped her off and told her it would be OK to sleep there. While that was just right for her it was more than the family could bear. They don't know anyone named Jeremy.
There was nothing taken from the home _ no missing porridge. Police gave the Olympia woman a ticket for trespassing.

If you actually look at the link, the reviews were mixed, even getting as high as 85. The highest reviews say that it is aimed towards children, which is true, but calling it the "second worse Gamecube game" is a bit POV when put next to the other reviews. --Sonic Mew 15:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've just had a go at reworking the section. It probably still needs improvement but it is better than it was. --Sonic Mew 00:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey You, Pikachu! Sales[edit]
I've removed the reference to HYP as "one of the worst selling Pokemon games", as it sold in excess of 1.7 million copies - the puzzle games have sold far less than that. Even by Pokemon standards, 1.7 million is an enormous amount of sales. -al 14:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Pokémon Channel Pokémon Refrences[edit]
If anyone doesn't mind, I'm putting in small refrences from certain Pokémon in the game and where you can find them. I have the game myself you see and basically have knowledge of some of it. Pokémon such as Celebi and Mr. Mime and many more are being edited to note their appearence in the game. And, why don't we add a list of Pokémon that be found in the game? Only the ones that you can get Nice Cards off of. staceeSHAW 11:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Other notes[edit]
- "The game was first announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2003." Shouldn't in be added in making it "Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3)in 2003"?
- "17. Ambrella. Pokémon Channel. "Oak: Oh? What was that cry?"" Should the references just quote parts of the game?
- Why is there a picture of the Pokémon Mini in the section about the development of the game? The section doesn't mention the Mini at all.
- Yeah, to be honest I kinda just put it there because the paragraphs were short. Would a picture of the e-Reader fit better? Or nothing, and I just find a way to combine them? Tezero (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- "...making it the thirteenth best-selling game during the week from July 14 to July 20." WP:FANCRUFT. I'm positive no one cares how good it was during a week.
- That week is significant, but I can see how that might not have been apparent. (It was the week of the game's release in Japan; I haven't found any more reliable sales information, including from Japan.) Rephrased. Tezero (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- "During the week from..." is bad grammar. Perhaps "During the week of..." would work better?

Push For Biofuels Seen In Farm Bill
Members of a key Senate panel plan to include greater incentives for biofuels projects in farm policy overhaul

With volatility in the global oil market recently pushing gasoline prices over $3.00 per gal in some areas of the U.S., Capitol Hill lawmakers are eyeing next year's farm bill as the vehicle to provide the financial support that could help biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel become commercially viable alternatives to conventional gasoline.
"Interest in biofuels has exploded in this country with good reason," Senate Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry Committee Chairman Saxby Chambliss . . .

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Nissan Armada
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 6.8
Despite the constant calls of its pending doom or complete abolition, the full-size SUV will likely always have a place in the American garage – at least as long as there are large families with large toys to tow behind them. The 2012 Nissan Armada is an excellent example of the full-size quarter-ton SUV families like the ones mentioned above can't live without. A bit more stylish than the boxy Chevrolet Suburban or Ford Expedition, the Nissan Armada nonetheless has the muscle and strength to go toe-to-toe with its domestic competitors. Its 317-horsepower V8 can tow up to 9,000 pounds, and the available all-wheel drive is ideal for winter-weather states. However, as Nissan does not make a 3/4-ton variant, really heavy jobs will require moving to the Chevrolet Suburban 2500 model. If the Titan's $40,000 asking price isn't a detractor, odds are you'll be able to budget the $100-plus fill-ups required to keep the Armada afloat. For those who truly need what the 2012 Nissan Armada SUV has, the long list of luxury amenities, comfortable interior and cavernous cargo hold can make owning such a vehicle a little less painful on the paycheck.
If you're looking for a powerful, tech-savvy SUV with edgy styling that makes a bold statement, the 2012 Nissan Armada SUV outshines most competitors in its segment and even a few luxury models costing thousands more.
The term "full-size SUV" means just that. The 2012 Nissan Armada SUV is big, heavy and not much fun to drive in confined areas. If you need 6- or 7-passenger seating but not the ability to tow heavy loads, a GMC Acadia, Dodge Durango or Honda Pilot might be a better alternative.
The 2012 Nissan Armada SUV receives some minor upgrades including a power rear liftgate and heated front seats now standard on the SL trim. The Platinum trim receives standard heated second-row seats and a padded center armrest with the Captain's-chairs option.
The 2012 Nissan Armada SUV's hefty bulk and truck-like build might have you thinking that handling and ride comfort are not going to be its strongest attributes, and you would...
... be half right. Nissan's adept double-wishbone suspension geometry and capable speed-sensitive power steering make the Armada as easy to operate as a mid-size Nissan Pathfinder. Tight confines are still a bit tricky given the Nissan Armada's length, but its short front and rear overhangs make maneuvering in tight corners a bit less worrisome. On smooth pavement, the Armada sails along with little drama, but upon encountering rough seas-uneven pavement or large expansion joints, for example-the Armada's Titan-based roots quickly make themselves known. The Armada's suspension isn't as efficient at isolating road imperfections as is the Chevy Suburban, choosing instead to send the slightest rude jolt or annoying vibration into the passenger cabin. The 2012 Nissan Armada SUV's 317-horsepower V8 engine delivers great power and never feels tepid or short of breath, and its 5-speed automatic delivers decisive, nearly imperceptible shifts.
Rear Seat Design
The 2012 Nissan Armada SUV's versatile rear-seat design includes fold-flat seats that create a level loading floor.
Standard Head-Curtain Airbags
The 2012 Nissan Armada SUV's standard head-curtain airbags cover all three rows of seating.
The 2012 Nissan Armada SUV's interior is designed to adapt to multiple needs, able to shuttle up to eight passengers, or just two people and 97 cubic feet worth of their stuff. The Armada's second row can be outfitted with either a 3-person bench seat or a set of Captain's-chair-style seats divided by a removable center console. The console is perfect for storing water bottles or video games, and when removed creates a clear and easy pathway for the third-row passengers to enter and exit. Passengers in the Armada SUV's third-row seat have a slightly elevated perch designed to give them an equally good view ahead as well as make the area feel less claustrophobic. Those concerned about safety can take solace in the Armada's many safety features, including side-curtain airbags covering all three rows. When cargo takes precedent over passengers, the 2012 Nissan Armada SUV's massive cargo area can be expanded to give 56.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second-row seat and a whopping 97.1 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded flat.
Nissan took a bit of a risk with the 2012 Armada SUV, giving it styling themes usually reserved for sport sedans and small cars. Expressive body arches and door frames stand out from the 90-degree-angle designs expressed on the Armada's competitors, as do its raised roof and enormous side fender flares. Nissan's 3-opening chrome grille so familiar on their truck line is present on the Armada SUV as well, adding a bit of ruggedness on an otherwise luxurious SUV. Some of the styling cues actually hinder functionality, such as the high-mounted rear door handles that can be difficult for little kids to easily access. The 2012 Nissan Armada SUV offers a generous helping of side glass providing good 360-degree views out. The Armada's huge side mirrors (they feature auto dimming on Platinum models) further aid outward vision by revealing objects lurking close to the big SUV's sides.
The 2012 Nissan Armada SV has a 317-horsepower V8 engine, 5-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), front and rear air conditioning, floor- and ceiling-mounted consoles, Vehicle Dynamic Control, rear privacy glass, dual power heated outside mirrors, power windows, power locks, remote keyless entry, power-adjustable pedals, AM/FM stereo with 6-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 capability, front and rear head-curtain airbags (covering all three rows), front side-impact airbags, running boards, 8-way power driver's seat, cruise control, tire-pressure monitor and a rear wiper and washer. The SL adds Intelligent Key keyless entry and start, leather seating, RearView Monitor, Bluetooth, Bose audio, power-folding third-row seat, power liftgate, heated front seats and auto-leveling rear air suspension. The Platinum Edition includes all these features plus heated second-row seats and steering wheel, a power moonroof, a hard drive-based navigation system and rear-seat DVD entertainment.
Options for the 2012 Nissan Armada SUV vary by trim. The Armada SV can be equipped with the Driver Package that adds a 12-speaker Bose audio system, Bluetooth, power liftgate, RearView Monitor, foglights and a power-folding third-row seat. Also available on the SV is the Tow Package and a number of dealer-installed options. The Nissan Armada SL can be equipped with a rear-seat DVD entertainment system and a power moonroof, while the Platinum Edition offers second-row Captain's-chair seating. All models offer the option of 4-wheel drive.
Nissan equips the 2012 Armada SUV with its most powerful V8 engine and the results are impressive. Tow rated at 9,100-pounds (with the available Tow Package), the Armada credits itself well in maximum towing capacity among lighter-duty, full-size SUVs.
5.6-liter V8

"We bought our 2015 Armada brand new and so far have been very pleased with it. The leather is fabulous and seats are very comfortable. Overall it is very spacious, my only complaint is that there is a lack of head and foot room in the third row. So if you have tall kids this could be a problem. As for the amenities there are many in this vehicle. With the Platinum package there ae a ton of features from heated seats to video players and rear air. The only goofy thing is that when you hit auto controls it always defaults to air conditioning. As for cargo space you are limited, there isn't much truck space perse but you can easily fold the seats down. I just miss all the space I had in the trunk of my Astro van."

"I bought this car used, a 2010, with 85000 miles. I went from only owning Lexus vehicles, to this one, and I have to say, I love it - it's perfect. People complain about mileage, but it's a big car, so it is expected to be poor. I average around 14 to 15 MPG overall. Summer its higher, winter it's lower. I traded in a Lexus RX because I wanted something with 3 rows of seats, with a third row that is actually usable. I looked at the Ford Expedition, Suburban, and Yukon, and none of them seemed to have a third row that anyone over the age of 5 could fit into. People note this car rides similar to a truck - and that's because it is one. That said, I think it rides very well, and is responsive for such a big vehicle. Moreover, the Armada is fast - much faster than you would expect. There is ample room for 2nd row passengers, and tons of cargo storage throughout. I have the Platinum version with bucket second row seats - so there is a console between the two seats. DVD entertainment works well. Heated steering wheel is awesome in the winter. In fact, I towed out a Ford F250 this winter that found itself stuck in the snow - and did it with great ease. As a whole, I would totally recommend this vehicle. It's great for family, or to fold down all the seats for hauling stuff. Tows 9100 lbs - more than any truck in it's class. I haven't had it long enough to rate reliability, but so far, it's been great - no problems."

"We purchased our 2nd armada in June of 2014. We traded a 2006 Armada which we purchased new that year. It had approximately 95,000 miles and short of regular oil changes and some minor maintenance we never had any problems. We tow a 23 foot boat and sometimes it's hard to tell the boat is even back there. We didn't even consider another SUV when we were ready for a new one. So far, 29,000 miles in, our 2014 has not disappointed. I hope it is as reliable as the last. If I have any complaints, it's that the design has not really changed much since our 2006. The interior is finished off a little nicer but the exterior is basically the same. We kept waiting for the redesign of the Armada to take on the infiniti QX80 look or something similar but that never happened. Maybe for our next Armada purchase."

"I regretted trading my '08 Armada SL for a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. I knew better afte reading the 2013 reviews but I did it anyways wanting to downsize. I traded that in for 2014 Platinum Armada. I absolutely love it. The only drawback is since I owned the platinum pathfinder I was expecting it to the have the same features. It does have the same Issue my 2008 did the heat shield always rattles and the dealership says its normal. I expect to keep this one for at least 6-7 years from now. Everyone that rides in it says it's comfy and roomy and the kids love the DVD player as well."

Cons: "mpg is the only penalty for all this performance"

"Large comfortable interior w/enormous storage space. 0-60 in 6.8 seconds - which is awesome for a 5800 lb SUV. Braking distance shorter than a BMW 3 series (all this per motor trend). Great handling for a large vehicle. Every option I want - memory power seats and mirrors, rear camera, sonar sensors, Bose radio with AM/FM/XM and 6 disc CD changer. Bluetooth. 20" Michelin high performance all weather tires with 14" vented performance rotors (thus the awesome stopping distance). Adjustable second row seat backs. I keep the driver's seat all the way back and my 6' 1" son can sit behind me without his knees touching my seat. Only negative is gas mileage; but the 28 gallon tank makes up for that."

My good friend Mike just moved to Illinois with his girlfriend. He signed a lease and picked out a desk, so this could be it for him. I needed to give him a nice going-away present. What could be better than a surprise visit from our long-lost buddy Rich?
When we were growing up on the tough streets of Grafton, Rich and Mike spent an astounding amount of time together. Rich always liked to act like he was the boss, but he was a nice guy with a great sense of humor, so it never bothered anyone. Eventually we stopped listening to him altogther. When we reached high school, still trying to be the man, he found a new class of kids to order around. By the time we were in college, he was hanging out in California. Nobody had seen him since 2002, when he unveiled a cheesy mustache and complained that nobody would take him seriously anymore. But thanks to an email from a mutual friend, I found him. And better yet, I convinced him to surprise Mike and wish him luck. I had to grease the wheels a bit, but what the hell?
So I shot an email to Chicago:
"(An old friend) told me he'd be calling you at some point in the next seven days. He said his number might come up as unavailable, but to pick up. I know this sounds ridiculously shady, but you'll understand what it's all about when you find out who it is. Just don't screen him. I think you'll want to take this one. That's it for now."
That night, my phone buzzed. It was Mike, as I expected, in hysterics.
"What's up, Agin? I just got a call from Dennis Haskins. He said he knew you. I just want to know what that was all about, so give me a call."
That's right -- it was Mr. Belding on the phone. Courtesy of HollywoodIsCalling.com.
Between Tom Candiotti, Cindy Margolis, Kato Kaelin, Richard Hatch ... looking back, there were so many options, I could have hired a washed-up celebrity to call every one of my friends. For instance, I nearly had Laser from "American Gladiators" tell another friend, Johnny, to get off the couch and start looking for a job. But Mike deserved this brush with non-greatness more than anyone else. He'd been there since the "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" days. He even made up a 188-question test in college that included things like 'What prevented soup from spilling on Grandma Belding?' I have no idea what the answer is, by the way. Regardless, a custom message from Laser was ten bucks more.
This thing didn't totally go off without a hitch. Despite being explicitly told not to screen the call, Mike mistook Haskins for a telemarketer, said he wasn't there, and had to settle for an immediate call-back and a voicemail. No need to feel bad, though.
"For another twenty bucks," I said, "He can always call you back."
Put it this way: He's available.

A few follow-up notes to last week's column before we hit the links ...
1. Nomar.com. Thanks to the diligent bit of research (not my own) I found out the domain was registered by the late John Henry Williams. Figured you'd want to know. But that's all the information I have. Make what you will of it, including at least one frozen computer joke.
2. Khaaan.com. On the same link, I left out an 'a' and sent everyone that clicked on my "Seinfeld" punch line to Khaan.com, the self-proclaimed leading genealogy site on the net. I can see why you weren't laughing. I'm sorry about that, dog.
Now onto (the rest of) the links ...
CBS Sportsline (8/17) -- A Kansas City jury ruled against Derrick Thomas' family -- all of them -- in their lawsuit against General Motors that stemmed from his death. If the defense wanted to prove Thomas was reckless, I think asking his next-of-kin to stand up might have done the trick.
Newsday (8/17) -- So why DID Craig Kilborn sign off after four years at The Late, Late Show? This column delves into the question that has everyone in America, um, not talking. Maybe the biggest news was that Kilby suddenly left "Jimmy Kimmel Live" as the late-night show with the most maddening theme song. "Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-DAHHHHHHH!" And while we're on the subject ...
CNN (8/12) -- ... it's not looking so hot for John McEnroe.
Yahoo! News (8/17) -- To celebrate the release of the special edition "Goodfellas" DVD, Warner Home Video threw an Italian feast in L.A. From a comedy standpoint, I think surprising Henry Hill with egg noodles and ketchup would be worth getting shot at.
CBS.com (8/17) -- CBS gives us our first look at the castaways from "Survivor: Vanuatu: Islands of Fire," and the results are ... grainy. I'll take a closer look at this when the bio pages go up. But one of the contestants is a 22-year-old "mechanical bull operator and model" from L.A., meaning American unemployment is officially down by one.
Houston Chronicle (8/16) -- Things not to do on your vacation to South Boston: walk into a barbershop and ask for The Roger. One way or the other, a broomstick will be involved. Not for sweeping up your hair up, either.
SciFi.com -- "It's basically Transformers meets Ninja Turtles meets The Powerpuff Girls." Now add the voice of Corey Feldman. Still not sold, eh?
Yahoo! News -- I've never met anyone who has gone there -- even for a weekend -- but Albany was rated the Nation's Top Party School for the second-straight time. If they do things right (which they won't), the Olson twins could put NYU on the map next year with their new Greenwich Village pad, which is, no joke, 24 times the size of my freshman dorm room. That's a lot of extension cords.
IMDB.com -- Nothing is quite as unsettling as watching a celebrity put on 250 pounds. Especially when it's Billy Bob from "Varsity Blues," shown backwards in a slideshow.
Las Vegas Review-Journal (8/16) -- Nicky Hilton getting married at 2:30 a.m., Lindsay Lohan barking "I'll kick your ass right here" to a photo-seeker and a drunken Tara Reid jumping off a diving board during a dispute with Lohan. I've got an eye patch somewhere. Does Norm Clarke need a lackey? And more importantly, don't hold out on us, Simmons. What's it like in The Real World suite at The Palms?
Washington Post (8/15), registration -- Never woulda guessed a girl who carries a Crown Royal sack around D.C. would sleep with a bunch of guys and write about it on a blog. Says LewTang, my friend at CNN: "If she represents the future leaders of America, then my future as a Washington correspondent looks pretty steady. That being said, I challenge anyone outside the Los Angeles area to find a more sexually-charged work environment than Capitol Hill." Ever substitute teach high schoolers?
(Note from Simmons: "We're halfway through the column and the Intern has already dropped the names of 25 different friends. I think I've created a monster. Is this how Rocky felt midway through 'Rocky V' when Tommy Gun started hanging around with the redheaded bimbo and the Don King Ripoff Guy? Oh, wait, 'Rocky V' never happened. Forget we had this conversation.")
Arizona Central (8/15) -- You have to hand it to a guy that celebrates his 21st birthday six days a week, then breaks out of rehab the seventh. Long overdue, Andy Dick makes his Links of the Week debut. Here's the San Francisco Examiner account of the same incident, followed by this nugget from The N.Y. Post about Dick booting on a club-goer the following Monday: "'It came out like a rope!' he proudly announced to the editor, whose $200 jeans he ruined. Then, suddenly embarrassed, he whispered, 'Did anyone see me?' before staggering off to the bathroom."
Indianapolis Star (8/15) -- How Ron Artest spent his summer vacation: hanging out at the mall, firing his agent, producing a country-and-western single with a 78-year-old, landing an endorsement with L.A. Gear(?!?). But don't you get the feeling that if Jermaine O'Neal were to ask him, Artest would say, "Aww, y'know. Same old, nothin' good." He'd mean it, too. Link of the Week. I'm feeling it.
(From Simmons: "Okay. Done deal.")
CBS2Chicago.com (8/14) -- A Packers fan puts up a billboard calling out Green Bay's' "cream puff" defense. Meanwhile, an anonymous bricklayer sabotages a wall in Oklahoma State's stadium. Advantage: college football.
SportsPickle -- "U.S. Grants Puerto Rico Statehood in Hopes of Winning Basketball Gold"
Washington Post (8/13) -- Columnist Sally Jenkins completely brutalizes Dick Pound, the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency. You know you've written an effective piece on doping when I actually get to the end of it. But let's be fair: A sports writer giving anyone a hard time about abusing a shrimp buffet is absurd. If they served shrimp in the press room at Fenway, it'd be Krzyzewskiville in Boston 81 times a year.
(From Simmons: "Boy, I hope this doesn't affect Dick Pound's standing in the Bubba Franks Memorial 'Guys Whose Names Make Them Sound Most Like a Porn Star' Hall of Fame.")
Sports Illustrated (8/13) -- Four out of four columnists agree: The NBA screwed up the Olympic Team. On Aug. 4, Simmons said that Michael Redd, Kirk Hinrich, Brad Miller, Tayshawn Prince, Brian Cardinal, Fred Hoiberg and Corey Haim would be better for Athens. Since then, Marty Burns put forth Redd, Brent Barry, Shane Battier, Miller and Cardinal. Michael Wilbon thinks some combination of Barry and his brother Jon, Hoiberg, Cardinal, along with Casey Jacobsen would work. And Yahoo! Sports' Dan Wetzel wanted Redd, Prince, Battier, Miller, Hinrich and Jimmy Chitwood.
To recap, that's three votes: Redd, Miller and Cardinal. Two votes: Hinrich, Prince, Hoiberg, Brent Barry, and Battier. One vote: Jon Barry, Chitwood and Haim.
I feel like Jeff Probst. Next link!
(BANNED BY THE ESPN EDITORS - 8/12) -- Sadly, we can't link to this. Let's just say that if you went to a website that involves the name of a weapon and an adjective for people who use cigarettes, you'd be in the right place. Anyway, this was just what David Stern needed: a sex scandal involving Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
Here's a quote from his deposition: "She said, 'You are so cheap. Every other man has spent so much money on me.' And she said, 'You know, when I lived with Mike Tyson, I had a hundred pair of shoes. I had this. I had that.'" Somewhere Lamar Odom is smiling. And Quentin Richardson. And Michael Olowokandi. And Andre Miller. And Danny Manning. And even Eric Piatkowski.
LA Times (8/12) -- Sad but true: Amateur baseball (a.k.a. Little League) now ranks sixth in popularity in the U.S. behind basketball, soccer, softball, football and volleyball, with lacrosse in the rear view. Luckily, the electric George Will is on the case.
Tom Wilson U.S.A. -- I never thought I'd be floored by the guy who played Biff, Griff and Mad Dog Tannen. Then I read,"There is an undeniable magic that surrounds pieces of clean, colorful plastic," and it wasn't about a hover board.
Gamespot -- An in-depth breakdown of ESPN 2K5 versus Madden 2005, and the conclusion may surprise you (or not, because I've just ruined it). My own personal conclusion: If Plaxico Burress played a little less Madden, he might catch 90 balls someday.
(BANNED AGAIN BY THE ESPN EDITORS) -- Remember that cigarette/weapon website from before? If you went there, you'll probably be able to find some quality video recordings of an imprisoned arch criminal visiting with his family. I'll give you a hint: It's not Joshua Jackson.
NY Daily News (8/11) -- A few notes from Mark Kriegel's upcoming bio of Joe Namath, including that he was considered for the role of Sam Malone and the host of "Family Feud" (they went with the more "erudite" Richard Dawson instead). Also, if the rest of Buster Olney's book "The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty" is as good as the Steinbrenner-Cashman stuff that ran in last Sunday's N.Y. Times (gotta pay for it now), it could be worth a read. It's amazing what a boss can get away with by saying, "I'm just trying to make you better." Not that I would know.

An unfavorable phenomenon is observed: current electronic markets are fragmented and have formed a set of autonomously distributed product information islands. This leads to heterogeneity of product information between separated sources and makes difficult on product document interoperation. To resolve the issue and facilitate business document interoperation, this paper proposes a heterogeneous concept mapping approach. By this approach, heterogeneous product documents are transformed from one context to another context without losing any semantic information. This transformation process is supported by a heterogeneous concept transformation algorithm that includes five transformation steps: source-local context transformation, local-common context transformation, common-common context transformation, common-local context transformation and local-source context transformation.

Thanks for dropping by. See you on the bandwagon about this time next year.
A lot of truth seems to get dumped into the Practice Squad on this board, just saying.
Great discussion here. Thanks for the contributions everyone. :)
This is a great post.
Yes, the team is almost Colts-like in its reliance on the QB position. They really have no answers if Brady has an bad...
Absolutely not.
Now, care to reply to the thread topic? :)
I've had enough of your personal attacks. Please don't post to me again. Thank you.
Good thread.
Yes, I think some posters here need to be more realistic and grateful for what the team has accomplished over the years.
Yes, I think he would be more effective with his snap count carefully monitored.
Good points. :)
Then why don't you provide some in this thread?
What is your basis for this claim?
You choose to characterize the threads in a manner consistent...
This is a Patriots message board, and you don't want the posters to discuss Patriots players?
Sir, I think you might be confused.
That's enough.
This post has been reported.

Well, I used the present perfect tense, and the verb "to become" for a reason. The question therefore assumes that he wasn't a choker, and...
Good suggestion.
Since I can't edit the poll, maybe a mod can add that option.
Although some people might think Danny Woodhead is too small and weak to be effective in the playoffs, others might think he'll be a contributor...
Right now, 52 voters say he's a choker or he's not as effective as he once was, compared to 36 saying he's not a choker.
Hmmm. Right now 21 say yes/not as effective, 16 say no.
Separate names with a comma.

Amtrak to test bikes on Vt trains
Amtrak is preparing to field-test café cars with built-in bike racks on several lines, including the Ethan Allen Express and the Vermonter.
The demos are really just to see how these prototypes work and get feedback, said Amtrak spokesman Clifford Cole.
Little information was available, including the dates of the tests.
Amtrak offers walk-on bicycle service on only a handful of lines. Otherwise, bicycles may be checked as baggage on certain lines, and folding bicycles may be brought aboard as carry-on luggage on any line.
However, adding such service offers the prospect of locals being able to get on the train in Vermont and get off in New York, Philadelphia or Washington, D.C., bicycling their way from the station instead of relying on cabs or the subway.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON As part of a federal effort to dismantle drug trafficking organizations in Vermont,...

The isotopic composition of mafic small-volume intra-plate magmatism constrains the compositions of the sub-continental mantle sources. The Nd, Pb, and Sr isotope signatures of widespread late Mesozoic to Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in NE Africa (Sudan, South Egypt) are surprisingly uniform and indicate the presence of a high-μ (μ = 238U/204Pb) source in the mantle. The rocks are characterized by small ranges in the initial isotopic composition of Nd, Pb, and Sr and most samples fall within ε Nd ca. 3–6, 206Pb/204Pb ca. 19.5–20.5, 207Pb/204Pb ca. 15.63–15.73, 208Pb/204Pb ca. 39–40 and 87Sr/86Sr ca. 0.7028–0.7034. We interpret this reservoir as lithospheric mantle that formed beneath the Pan-African orogens and magmatic arcs from asthenospheric mantle, which was enriched in trace elements (U, Th, and light REE). Combining our new data set with published data of intra-plate magmatic rocks from the Arabian plate indicates two compositionally different domains of lithospheric mantle in NE-Africa–Arabia. The two domains are spatially related to the subdivision of the Pan-African orogen into a western section dominated by reworked cratonic basement (NE-Africa; high-μ lithospheric mantle) and an eastern section dominated by juvenile Pan-African basement (easternmost NE-Africa and Arabia; moderate μ lithospheric mantle). The compositions of the Pan-African lithospheric mantle and the MORB-type mantle of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden spreading centers could explain the Nd–Pb-Sr isotopic compositions of the most pristine Afar flood basalts in Yemen and Ethiopia by mixtures of the isotopic composition of regional lithospheric and asthenospheric sources.

Out of Africa: Sayville Artist's Photographs Compiled on CD
By CAROLE PAQUETTE
Published: April 13, 1997
WHEN Esther Lidstrom was a child in Nassau County, she would creep through the bushes of the Whitney estate on Post Road in Old Westbury and climb on the split-rail fence to pet Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney's horses. She would then go home and with pencils and crayons paint the magnificent creatures she had just seen.
Years later, at an auction to benefit Friends of Conservation, a not-for-profit organization concerned about Africa's wildlife, Mrs. Whitney would pay $2,500 for an Esther Lidstrom painting of a leopard.
''Little did I know when I saw that leopard in Tanzania, that it would end up looking at the roast beef on her dining room table,'' said Ms. Lidstrom, a wildlife artist and photographer who lives in Sayville on Long Island's South Shore.
Using her artwork created from her many trips to Africa, Ms. Lidstrom is spreading the message on preserving the ecosystem and habitat of the animals in Africa.
Her paintings, many of which she has donated to benefit Africa's wildlife, have won recognition from such notables as Prince Charles; Richard Leakey, the anthropologist, and Guy Coheleach, the American wildlife artist. In her latest venture, Ms. Lidstrom's photographs will appear in a CD-ROM, ''On Safari,'' to be released next month.
Using the approach called ''ecotourism,'' the project educates people traveling to Africa in ways that would have the least impact on the environment. About $200,000 has been invested in the three-hour compact disk, along with its accompanying website, said its producer, David Anderson of Santa Barbara, Calif., whose safari company is backing the project financially. Two years ago, carrying 20 pounds of photographic equipment and one bag of clothes, Ms. Lidstrom joined Mr. Anderson's group of photographers in South Africa, spending a month in the bush, tracking and photographing animals for the project.
''The only hope for Africa's wildlife is sustainable responsible tourism,'' said Mr. Anderson. ''The wildlife will not remain unless it benefits the local people economically.''
With the population more than doubling in many African countries, the competition for living and farm space has put animals like the cheetah, rhinoceros, gorilla and elephant in danger of extinction. Viewing wildlife as an economic resource, Friends of Conservation educates African people to co-exist with the wildlife and habitat in ways that benefit all three, said the organization's president, Reute Butler. The group, which has headquarters in Chicago and London, works with a combined budget of $400,000 with most of its revenue coming from private and corporate donors. Two major fund-raising events are held annually in the United States. Both have auctions that include works donated by prominent wildlife artists.
''Esther is most faithful, she keeps coming back to give us work each year,'' Ms. Butler said. ''She's very committed. She's the big repeater.'' Ms. Butler added that Ms. Lidstrom's pieces have raised several thousand dollars a year for Friends of Conservation.
A versatile artist who has exhibited at major museums including the Boston Museum of Science, Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the Witte Museum in San Antonio, Ms. Lidstrom chooses strong subjects, treating them in a gentle manner. Her works range from a portrait of a male lion done in the fine technical linework of scratchboard to a narrow horizontal stipple of nine zebra, their legs fading into empty space representing high grass. Some of her larger pieces, likethe two cheetahs that peer at visitors from over her fireplace, are done realistically in pastel. But it is her delicate yet strong impressionistic works, where the animals appear and then disappear in and out of colored washes touched with detailed penciled areas, that are most in demand.
''Esther is so good with color, she scares me,'' said Bill Bennett, owner of Bicato, a framing and art gallery in Jericho, who frames and sells Ms. Lidstrom's work.
Her acrylic wash prints sell from $30 for an unframed open edition piece to $170 for one matted in earth tones with a natural wood frame. ''Her work is very well received,'' Mr. Bennett said. ''I have people coming in asking when her next piece will be available.'' Mr. Bennett also exhibits works by other artists promoting conservation.
Although occasionally she is commissioned to create a painting for a donor, Ms. Lidstrom often donates a painting or print outright to benefit wildlife conservation. In 1990, she met Prince Charles when her framed, limited edition print, ''Giraffes on the Run,'' which she donated, was auctioned for $1,000 at the Rolex-Prince of Wales Cup Polo Tournament to benefit Friends of Conservation and Friends of Masai Mara. Ms. Lidstrom twice attended events in Florida held in the presence of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, royal patron of Friends of Conservation.
During the 1991 auction to benefit Dr. Leakey's efforts to protect the elephants in East Africa, her donation of ''Elephants at Mzima'' earned $2,000. The winning bidder offered an extra $200 if Dr. Leakey, then director of the Kenya Wildlife Service, would sign his name next to Ms. Lidstrom's.

Plato's Symposium: Second Edition
This is the first full-length study of the Symposium to be published in English, and one of the first English works on Plato to take its bearings by the dramatic form of the Platonic dialogue, a thesis that was regarded as heterodox at the time but which today is widely accepted by scholars of the most diverse standpoint. Rosen was also one of the first to study in detail the philosophical significance of the phenomenon of concrete human sexuality, as it is presented by Plato in the diverse characters of the main speakers in the dialogue. His analysis of the theoretical significance of pederasty in the dialogue was highly controversial at the time, but is today accepted as central to Plato s dramatic phenomenology of human existence.

""Can we get some reality in here?" asks Judy Sheindlin, former supervising judge for Manhattan Family Court. For twenty-four years she has laid down the law as she understands it: If you want to eat, you have to work ; If you have children, you'd better support them ; If you break the law, you have to pay ; If you tap the public purse, you'd better be accountable. Now she abandons all judicial restraint in a scathing critique of the system--filled with realistic hard-nosed alternatives to our bloated welfare bureaucracy and our soft-on-crime laws"--Publisher website (June 2007).

Rumor – Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation outed ahead of E3
A NeoGAF user has posted details from the issue of Game Informer which has a preview of the Vita title Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation.
- It's out same day as AC3 (October 30)
- Location is New Orleans
- Female assassin named Aveline of mixed heritage
- Looks like same time period as AC3
- Ubisoft Sofia is developing
- Takes place between 1765-1780 in the period between the end of the French and Indian war
- One of the bullet points is that it's "true AC gameplay"
- Will not connect to Desmond
- Will have "multiplayer specifically tailored to the Vita experience"
- "The game has been released as a propaganda tool by Abstergo, who want players to experience a gray area of the Assassin/Templar conflict as an assassin rather than a Templar"
- Aveline's mentor is an escaped slave named Agate,leader of the assassins in New Orleans
- Wildlife like alligators "wait on the banks of the swamp or hide beneath murky waters"
- Liberation will also take players "across the Gulf into Mexico"
The game was listed by retailer Zavvi earlier this week, and until Ubisoft or Game Informer confirms the details, just take this information for what it is – Ubisoft's E3 press conference takes place on Monday so the wait won't be long.
