For Oracle and its hard-charging skipper, Jimmy Spithill, the win was an extraordinary sporting triumph, one that saw the team climb back from a seemingly insurmountable 8-1 deficit in the best-of-17 series to keep the trophy it won three years ago.
The thrilling final races were also a ringing vindication of Oracle owner Larry Ellison's controversial decision to transform a once-staid yachting event into a TV-friendly, extreme-sports spectacle featuring huge catamarans flying across the natural amphitheatre of San Francisco Bay at 50 miles per hour.
"A lot of people who were never interested in sailing are now interested in sailing," Ellison said at a post-race news conference. "This regatta has changed sailing forever."
Emirates Team New Zealand, a plucky challenger that lacked a billionaire sponsor but nonetheless sailed to the brink of Cup victory, must now endure the ignominy of having let the prize slip from its grasp in the final days after a gruelling two-year campaign of boat development and training.
Oracle dominated the last race, showcasing the dramatic improvements in boat speed on the upwind leg of the race that began to emerge a week ago. Oracle seemed to find an extra gear after losing most of the early races, and even overcame a pre-match penalty that required it win 11 races on the water.
The speed improvements appeared to come mainly from changes that enabled the boat to consistently "foil," or lift almost completely out of the water on small horizontal wings, even when heading upwind. The team also changed tacticians after its early losses, installing Britain's Ben Ainslie - the most successful Olympic sailor in history - in that spot in place of San Francisco native John Kostecki.
The winning Oracle team had only one American on board.
"It's been one of the most amazing comebacks ever, I think, almost in any sport but certainly in sailing and to be a part of that is a huge privilege," said Ainslie.
"To be perfectly honest we had a mountain to climb. We knew we had to sort ourselves out. We had to get the boat going faster. We did that.
"The designers did a great job and we had to start sailing better. We got the momentum going and we started believing in ourselves and when you do that you can become quite strong."
Ainslie also dedicated his win to Andrew 'Bart' Simpson (below, right), another British Olympian, who died in a training accident for the America's Cup with the Artemis team in the same San Francisco Bay in May.
"I looked up to the stars after it all settled down at the end and thought of Bart," he said. "In some ways this was for him. He loved sailing and he loved the America's Cup. He would have been so excited about this series.
'It was emotional. It has been a hard few months with his death and all that followed it. He has been in my mind. Unfortunately, my mum and dad couldn't be here. My mum (Sue) is sick in hospital. It is nothing too serious but my poor dad (Roddy) has had to look after her. Hopefully this has put a smile on her face. This is the most amazing thing I have ever been involved in.
"When you are in the Olympics you are doing it on your own. You can enjoy the success but you can only let yourself down. This is more rewarding, doing it in a team. You can share this."
As one of the most coveted sporting prizes, the America's Cup over its 162-year history has fuelled patriotism even in non sailors and winning the trophy was seen as a mark of a nation's seafaring greatness.
When Australia broke America's 132-year hold on the Cup in 1983 the jubilation brought normal business to a standstill.
Just a week ago, New Zealand fans had all but begun celebrating what seemed like an inevitable sporting and economic windfall for the long time international sailing power, which supported the team with about $30 million (£18.7m) in government funds in the hopes of bringing the trophy - and attendant tourism and publicity - back home.
But on Wednesday it was Ellison who was celebrating, joining the crew on the boat for a champagne shower in the moments after the finish.
New Zealand's soft-spoken skipper, Dean Barker, called the defeat "very difficult to accept - a very tough pill to swallow."
Fans who flocked to the San Francisco bayfront by the tens of thousands for the final races were treated to a little bit of everything: tense on-the-water duels, a near-capsize, winds that were alternately too light and too strong, and even a whale that threatened to disrupt racing.
While Kiwi fans in San Francisco seemed to outnumber Oracle supporters through much of the regatta, the big crowds on the final days were distinctly pro-U.S. as local fans cheered the Oracle comeback.
"Watching the comeback and seeing all these new boats, it's just so exciting," said Chris Barnsdale, 36, a Santa Rosa contractor who has never set foot aboard a sailboat and had never watched a race until last week. He drove an hour to see Wednesday's showdown.
"When it's a do-or-die situation, we just said we've gotta go watch that final race," he said.
The TV coverage also proved to be a highlight of the event, with three helicopters, two speedboats and cameras aboard the catamarans bringing the action home, augmented by state-of-the-art graphics that made it possible to follow the complex match-racing tactics.
The enthusiasm was a marked turnaround for the summer-long series of America's Cup events, which until a few weeks ago looked like a monumental bust.
New Zealand completely dominated the Louis Vuitton challenger series, which featured only three competitors and saw some "races" with only one boat charging around the course. A cheating scandal erupted, with Oracle ultimately being docked two races and losing a key crew member as punishment for illegal boat modifications in a preliminary series.
And Oracle had to recover from a capsize last year in which its boat was dragged out to sea and all but destroyed - an event Spithill cited Wednesday as a devastating moment but one that ultimately helped pull the team together.
In San Francisco, meanwhile, many locals bristled at city support for what has often been derided as a rich man's yacht race.
On Wednesday, though, California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, who negotiated to bring the Cup to San Francisco when he was mayor of the city, was also declaring victory. He lauded Ellison's vision, and said in a statement that the economic benefits for the city would be "well north" of the $480 million in economic activity generated by the most recent Super Bowl.
Ellison was non-committal as to whether he would hold the event in San Francisco next time. "Personally, I'd love to come back to San Francisco," he said, but suggested that extensive discussions with city officials lay ahead.
Oracle had plenty of advantages coming into the regatta. It was on its home turf, and had enough money to hire top sailors and build two equally matched boats to train against one another. The team was distinctly international, with New Zealander Russell Coutts, who led the Kiwis to Cup victory in 1995 and 2000, serving as CEO and the Australian Spithill as the skipper.
When only three challengers proved willing to take on the cost and complexity of the 72-foot carbon fiber yachts, Oracle's chances looked even better - though it faced criticism that the dearth of competitors had diminished interest in the event and made it a bad financial deal for San Francisco.
But the Kiwis, led by a 56-year-old managing director, Grant Dalton, who doubled as a workhorse on-board "grinder" during races, proved ingenious in developing their boat, particularly in pioneering the use of hydrofoils that lift both hulls almost entirely of the water to reduce drag.
Barker steered nearly flawless races through most of the competition as New Zealand first crushed the Italian team, Luna Rossa, in the challenger series, and then dominated Oracle in the early races of the Cup finals.
But now the America's Cup, with its rich history of duelling tycoons, gamesmanship and cutting-edge boat technology, appears firmly headed in the innovative direction Ellison envisioned.
Dalton, a fierce critic of the AC72s, said he still considered the boats too expensive for robust competition in the future, though he lauded the San Francisco venue.
Ellison said one unnamed team had already stepped up as a challenger for the next Cup. Dalton wouldn't say whether he would be back. But Ellison said: "An America's Cup without a New Zealand, it's just impossible to conceive of that."

Nueva Vizcaya provincial gov't can't pay in full back wages
The provincial government cannot pay in full the back salaries and other benefits of about 70 returning employees who the Civil Service Commission (CSC) earlier ordered reinstated, officials here said.
In a meeting on Tuesday, lawyer Voltaire Garcia, provincial legal officer, told the employees that the province had no sufficient funds to cover about P33.3 million in back wages and other benefits.
"We have already complied with the first part of the [CSC order], which is reinstatement. As for the second part, which is the payment of back wages, we will still try to find the possible sources [of funds]," he said.

Poultrymen decide to hold next year's exhibit here: While the U.S. government pondered deploying a portion of the Pacific Fleet to Ecuador as backup to the gunship Yorktown, Sarah Platt Decker of Denver, removed her name from consideration for the U.S. Senate, saying "the time is not yet ripe for the election of a woman to the Senate."In Amarillo, the buzz turned to the Panhandle Poultry Association, which had just elected L.G. Small of Amarillo as its president. This forward-thinking man urged the organization to move its regular meetings to Amarillo and "declared that the organization should act in connection with the affiliations interested in promoting an All-Panhandle Fair."The next year saw the start of the Panhandle Area Fair; the first Tri-State Fair would not take root for 12 more years.
Temperatures drop from 45 degrees to -6 degrees in 10 hours: By the beginning of 1912, attention to a menengitis outbreak in Dallas made the front page of the Daily News. The outbreak had killed five and eight others had taken ill; it was feared that social events for the weekend would be canceled.
In the Panhandle, attention turned to cold weather when a swift-moving front entered the region, dropping temperatures 51 degrees in 10 hours. The severe cold killed several head of cattle in the region, prompting one longtime rancher to speculate that winter 1912 would take the greatest toll on livestock in at least 10 to 15 years.
A few weeks later new headlines would capture the world's attention. On April 16, 1912 - four days after the fact - Amarillo readers learned: White Star Liner Titanic stricken on maiden voyage / Over fifteen hundred lost / of 2,200 aboard vessel only 675 are known to have been saved.
Heavy crops during 1912 bring general prosperity: Carson County was in the spotlight as an agricultural mecca for the region. Shipped from the county seat of Panhandle: four hundred train cars of grain, 30,000 head of cattle, 3,000 hogs. Panhandle, population 700, had just completed the $68,000 Carson County Courthouse and was about to build a new school.
While the winds of war were blowing across Europe, Pancho Villa was making headlines closer to Amarillo during Mexico's civil war. Still, life was fairly tame and quiet in Amarillo and readers learned that The Famous Store - the oldest retail store in Amarillo - was sold to J. Levy.
Convention will adjourn after voting on next meeting city ...
News of the war in Europe, then called the "seven-country war,"consumed the front page of the Amarillo paper, that is with the exception of news from the Panhandle and Southwestern Stockmen's Association meeting in El Paso. Members of the Amarillo delegation lobbied to host the next convention. Back home, a front-page open letter to the association redoubled those lobbying efforts. It was signed by J.N. Beasley, mayor; C.A. Fisk, commissioner; and Lee Bivins, commissioner. The association chose Albuquerque, N.M., for the 1916 convention.
After more than two years, the war in Europe and the shenanigans of Pancho Villa still captured headlines. A front-page photo tells of U.S. cavalry troops, under the command of Major Tompkins, returning to Texas after a foray into Mexico to hunt down Pancho Villa.
Closer to home, Floydada announced plans to build a new school to house intermediate grades.
Sheriff takes girl without warning: Headlines of the day speak to the custody battle over 11-year-old Dorothy Slaughter. Her grandmother in Dallas claimed her, but so did her mother in Amarillo. The Dallas sheriff and the grandmother were behind this fourth abduction, causing the child's mother, Eloise Slaughter, to fall ill after an emotional breakdown. The abduction of "the most kidnapped child in America"prompted noted Amarillo residents, with such prominent names of the day as Landergin, Ware and Fugua, to call for a court-ordered investigation into the actions of the Dallas sheriff.
A few months later, attention again turned to the war in Europe as the United States declared war on Germany, bringing all the powers into World War I.
America accomplishes all she fought for: Beginning with a shotgun celebration at 8 o'clock in the morning and progressing through rowdiness toward a more somber remembrance at 11 o'clock, Amarillo marked Nov. 11, 1918, as International Independence Day.
Loss Estimated at $100,000: "Fire breaking out in the Olympic Theatre at 7 o'clock last night, from an electric wire it is believed, completely destroyed the Olympic Theatre building, corner Polk and Seventh, resulting in a loss estimated at between $75,000 and $100,000, and for one hour threatened an entire block of the building district ...
Two thousand persons who occupied the theatre when the blaze was first detected left the building in an orderly manner without any casualties resulting."
Just a century ago, the city of Amarillo and the surrounding area was still in its youth. After being established by some hearty pioneers who could handle the tough environs and help others do the same, the region was beginning to prosper.

Skip to comments.Feds: Too few Americans turn to government for assistance [Unbelievable!]
Posted on 08/27/2012 1:03:05 PM PDT by upchuck
More Americans rely on their families for assistance than the government, so federal officials have undertaken an effort to help people to apply for federal assistance.
Given that only 15 percent of you turn to government assistance in tough times, we want to make sure you know about benefits that could help you, USA.gov announced today. The government made easy website has created a help for difficult financial times page for people to learn more about the programs.
The government got that statistic from a poll asking Americans what helps them the most during tough times. Here are the results:
Hugh and series too!
I got that email today and instantly posted on twitter. Pretty amazing...
Time for a shower!
Need more assimilation INTO the collective...
Is this Administration that concerned about loosing the White House?
From CNN
We're looking at the net of what's been added and subtracted since 2008, and it's a big positive. The largest category of transfer payments, of course, consists of the three major entitlements: Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Indeed, they rose in total by 28% since the fourth quarter of 2008. What's surprising is that other transfer payments, all told, rose even faster, by 38%, and accounted for over half of the total increase.
Among the fast-growing categories: unemployment insurance and food stamps, which together expanded by 120% to $211 billion.
You KNOW it!!
[S]ince 2000 Medicaid has increased from 34 million people to 54 million in 2011 and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or food stamps) from 17 million to 45 million in 2011, according to a statement released on Wednesday by Sen. Sessions office.
But heres our favorite part: Spending on food stamps alone is projected to reach nearly $800 billion over the next decade.
The Senate Budget Committee Republican staff under Ranking Member Jeff Sessions [R-AL] on Wednesday released this depressing chart:

What ever happened to being responsible and relying on your FAMILY when times are hard????
When rough times come, Libs have destroyed the family and turned Americans into wards of the state. And way too many Americans have been comfortable with it because they think it means the "other guy" is paying for it.
Give BHO another 4 years screwing over the American economy and we ALL will be queued up at the welfare office for their damned "benefits!"
This is directed at the quote you posted.
Let's assume you set up a savings account when you were young and contributed to it all of your working life. When you quit working you begin to withdraw money, a little at a time, for your living expenses.
The above describes both Social Security and Medicare. I paid into these all my working life. When I retired I began to withdraw some of what I paid in.
The dictionary defines entitlement as, "a right granted by law or contract, especially to financial benefits from the government." Yes, Social Security and Medicare payments come from the government. But they NOT are benefits. They are merely repayment of what I paid in for years.
I am sick and tired of Social Security and Medicare being described as entitlements. IMHO, they are NOT.
SSI, welfare, FI, AFDC, etc, et al. THOSE are entitlements.
Believe me, I wish I could have opted out of Social Security and Medicare and run my own funding. I'd be light years ahead of where I am now.
One day a week I volunteer as a triage interviewer at a local food bank. And the majority of folks I interview look similar to the young lady on the right. It amazes me how obese people can become by living off food stamps.
More than one or two Federal agencies having trouble justifying their existence and budgets!!
Not so surprising as home economics, where teaching young people (and even some older people) how to purchase for, and prepare, healthy meals, is usually the first class that is eliminated when public schools crunch numbers. In some places there are no ways to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables with the cards AND I bet the people just don't want to bother learning to cook/eat better.
"Savings 44%
"Family 21%
"Credit cards/loans 20%
"Government assistance 15%"
A poll? Ask for what really happened when a need arose.
I am in my 70s, get SS, and medical stuff.. though so far I have not had a need for a doctor or drug -- in decades.
Of course I totally disagree with what seems to be the majority opinion to cut all programs across-the-board.. ridding the various programs of waste and abuse seems more logical to me as a first step.
Contumely welcome.. see if you can top the insults that FReepers who have snakes as pets I enraged by criticizing people who loose their pet snakes into the surrounding countryside. Most of them finally settled down when I admitted that I did not know that their ball python was a cute little python rarely more than four feet or so. And they would never, never be so cruel to the snake. :)
Actually, this piece makes me think that some weasely little bureaucratic pencil pusher is going all out to protect his government position, especially considering the possibility that job cuts loom in the near future. What better way than to convince the moochers of society that they need more entitlements.
This is moral and political inversion. Because the government obtains funds to give this assistance by coercive taxation, the government,instead of being a protector of rights is now a violator of rights. Instead of encouraging production, it is encouraging parasitism. Instead of protecting men from the initiation of physical force, it is initiating force and coercion in any manner and issue it pleases.
I can only speak for me and my family, but outside of the Veterans Administration every time I have ever asked the government (federal or state-Wisconsin) I have got a grand total of zilch.
Now my church otoh helped me hang on to my house.
Tells you something does it not.
Oh, Bam, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz . . .
I am sick and tired of Social Security and Medicare being described as entitlements

I started paying into SS in 1953 am now 72, NEVER used Medicare/medicaid, used VA once ('paid' for that 8+ yrs USN),
Draw SS - started at 69 and had 'double paid' FICA since 1990.
How is it considered an entitlement when I was 'forced' to turn it over, I don't make the rules etc...
BTW I remember 'us' sitting around in the early 70's figuring we would NEVER see a penny of SS.
I'm still waiting for my check for $1 million.
tough to ask dad for help when you don't know who he is.
Is it Claire Wolfe Time yet?
"You can't kill the beast while sucking at its teat"
-- Claire Wolfe
This is only a light crack of the whip above the heads of the "damned well better vote D voters". A thinly veiled suggestion to them that unless their masters are supported in November they may lose those "supports" that they aren't using enough of, according to the article.
Facts support that nearly 50% do not pay income tax and nearly that same percentage receive some form of federal payment, regardless of source. Some may have been partially contributed by the recipient, most not.
It's the same old game the progressives have been playing since 1916. Reinforced by FDR with SS and amplified by LBJ with Medicare.
Get the majority of voters on the plantation and when anyone offers freedom and liberty as an alternative, lightly crack the whip above their heads to remind them:
"See how much better off you are when we are in charge? All we want to do is give you more as long as you send us back to D.C. If you vote for those other guys, they are gonna make you think for yourselves, make responsible decisions and maybe work a little for the opportunity to succeed. Now isn't it much easier to just keep those votes and money flowing in the same direction, no questions asked? See you in November!"
If you look at the chart posted. Social security and Medicaid are NOT included in the total.
Chart posted in post # 10. Sorry.
What's the matter? Not enough slaves or something?
America is $16 trillion in debt and the government is promoting government assistance! Many are qualifying for Social Security Disability because of "mood disorders."
Are we not Americans?

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Lady Terriers advance to semifinals
Published: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 at 10:41 a.m.
MONROE -- Allyson Voisins goal with 8 minutes left off an assist from Casey Price lifted the No. 1 Vandebilt Catholic Lady Terriers past No. 9 Neville 3-2 in girls Division II quarterfinal soccer play on Tuesday.
The game was played in wet conditions.
It was a battle, Vandebilt coach Philip Amedee said. Neville got the lead and kind of took a defensive stance. They got up, but we controlled the action. We got the best of play, and controlled possession for most of the match. We finally put a couple in and pulled it out.
Vandebilt, the defending Division II champion, will host No. 4 DeRidder, who beat Pearl River and Morgan City so far in the postseason, in the semifinals of the playoffs at Buddy Marcello Stadium in Houma.
Amedee said that game will likely be played on Friday night.
Neville, who beat No. 8 Zachary 3-2 in triple overtime to open the playoffs, took a 1-0 lead 20 minutes into the match.
But Vandebilt (21-3-2 overall) tied it on a goal by Megan Philp 2 minutes later. The match was tied at 1 at halftime.
Then 15 minutes into the second half, Neville took a 2-1 lead when it scored on a penalty kick.
Philp tied it at 2 just 10 minutes later, before Price found Voisin for the eventual game winner that sent the Lady Terriers back to the semifinals.
Mariah Boyd got the victory in goal for the Lady Terriers.

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.
Aristotle (384 - 322 BC)
Contributed by: Katin
When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed.

Intimidators cruise past Tourists, split series
Published: Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 6:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 6:17 p.m.
For the second straight day, the Kannapolis Intimidators outhit the Asheville Tourists, this time posting 18 hits on Sunday, as they cruised to a 7-2 win at McCormick Field.
The four-game series between South Atlantic League's division leaders ended up in a 2-2 draw.
Rex Brothers, the Colorado Rockies' supplemental first round draft pick in 2009, made his debut for Asheville, pitching a scoreless inning in relief. Thomas Field snapped out of a slump, going 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored, reaching base in each of his four plate appearances.
For Kannapolis, seven batters had multiple hits, led by Jonathan Gilmore, who went 4-for-5 with two runs and an RBI.
Asheville's David Christensen hit his 16th home run of the season in the bottom of the fourth.
The Tourists (30-17) will travel to West Virginia on Monday to take on the Power (27-18) for a four-game series before heading to Hickory for four more.

I've heard from several people recently that coming up with ideas for new mobile apps is difficult. So I've put together some potential mobile app and game ideas to share with you.
Feel free to give me some credit or if you need help fleshing out the details, send me an email and we can collaborate a bit.
Just remember:
"Ideas don't make you money. IMPLEMENTING ideas makes you money."
Car vs Zombie
You have been sucked into a vortex that sends you to an alternate dimension. Luckily you were driving your 1991 Buick roadmaster 6.2L Diesel when it happened. This world has been overrun by the undead. It seems that someone didn't pronounce the magic words properly and unleashed hordes of dead guys.
Because of your 'magic' vehicle, you have been deemed the King's messenger. You are the only one who can deliver messages from fortified castle to fortified castle. Obviously, you will need to make a few adjustments to your roadmaster and fill up the fuel tank with whatever you can find (pork fat, lard, walnut oil and butter).
Diesels are known for being able to run on damn near anything. They may not run well…but they run. Next, we need to add weapons to the outside. pretty much any rotating lethal object you can attach to the vehicle. Yes, I liked the movie 'Army of Darkness'.
It can be a 2d game where, after customizing your car, you then get points for running over zombies, skeletons and any other critter you can think of. You get bonus points for making it to the castle and delivering your message.
The object is to make it to the other castle and deliver your message. The kings want to coordinate their attacks and free their world from the undead.
There is a map of the 20 known castles. You must drive your way up hills, through forests and down canyons, while cutting a swathe of dead in the process. Each castle is considered a level. In front of each castle is a 'boss' leading a siege of the castle. You must mow him down until he doesn't get up anymore and then the castle can open its gates and let you deliver the message.
Jackalope Rider
Riding a dragon is cool, but what if you are a down on your luck leprechaun? Someone took your pot of gold and you must track that person down and get it back. Luckily, you have friends. One of them is a jackalope, so at least you can get there quickly. There are lots of obstacles to overcome. Your thief keeps dropping gold, so you get to gather gold as you go along.
- Graphics: forest, suburb and city
- Enemies: dodge critters, head butt objects, gather your gold
- Style: 2d top down scrolling game.
- Levels: multiple levels within each scene
Sports that can be made into 2d scrolling games:
- kayaking – here's video
- shovel racing – here's video
Other Sports:
- Jai alai (yes, I watched the intro to 'Miami vice') – here's video
- alternative chess – a good example would be the 'Nightmare Chess' cardgame.
Spell maker
- RPG's have been doing this for decades.
- Make up your own categories and words (i.e. illusion category and 'ha alain' as the words for 'disappear'
- Let users create their own spells and spellbooks to personalize what they have created
- See Spellmaker for more ideas
Fencing trainer
- This would be a niche market catering to those who fence as a sport.
- Knowledge of how to hold the saber, epee or foil and the rules is helpful to a beginner.
- You could include a practice mode that allows you to aim and hit your target areas.
- Imagine a picture of a torso and letting you aim your saber or parry another weapon correctly.
And here's the really fun stuff:
Bluetooth Laser Tag
- A multiplayer game using gps, compass, accelerometer. You can go outside and shoot each other using your device.
Voice Activated Awesomeness
- Didn't anyone see Real Steel? It's like Rock'em sock'em robots on steroids.
- You could give your robot voice commands to fight in the arena.
- This would be a fun battlemech or tank game as well.
- I would love to see a starship captain's game
- Yell orders at the crew and hope they do what you tell them
- You could have creatures battle in an arena based on voice commands
- How about a blind man driving game? He can't see, so you have to tell him where to turn
- the idea is from "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" and "scent of a women" movies
- Voice activated ANYTHING would get your game noticed.
Pony Express Jogging app
- How about a virtual package delivery game based upon distance ran.
- You could track how far someone ran using GPS (see the app called Runmeter).
- You could have the user Accept missions or package deliveries based on distances (possibly even weight carried for bonus credits).
- Score could be based upon successful distance ("yea!! you delivered a package").
- Bonus points for faster run times.
- Optional obstacles for even more bonus points (wolves are attacking, run for your life!!!).
- People earn credits the more they jog or the farther then run.
Ideas aren't a problem for me, but I only have a limited time to work on each project. This means my time is split between idea/design/development/marketing. If all I had to do was come up with ideas and flesh them out, I would happily team up with someone. Just a thought.
Do you have ideas that someone can use? Post them in the comments below.

Tekken X Street Fighter is Still Coming, Says Harada
Written Monday, August 05, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Tekken X Street Fighter is still coming, we're just not sure when. Even Tekken maestro Katsuhiro Harada doesn't seem all that sure either. Announced alongside Street Fighter X Tekken three years ago, Tekken X Street Fighter is taking its sweet time getting here, and it's apparently all down to timing.
"We will say first off that the game is still in development, so you don't need to worry about that," said Harada. "There are several reasons why we haven't released any updates. One of the reasons is, Street Fighter X Tekken was released. That still had updates until recently. One interesting thing we've seen with that title when it came out was that it's not quite what we expected."
It appears that Harada hadn't anticipated just just how much interest there would be in a Street Fighter and Tekken crossover, with Tekken's main man noting that there's also a new community popping up around Street Fighter X Tekken. Harada is looking for the right time to release Tekken X Street Fighter.
"It was not just Tekken fans and Street Fighter fans merging, there seems to be a whole new community growing around that title that wasn't playing either of the titles up until that point. That was very unexpected, but quite cool," Harada noted. "It's something we want to take care and grow. Rather than throw out our title right away while those people are still interested in [Street Fighter X Tekken] we are looking for the right time because we are still developing [Tekken X Street Fighter]."
So far, only Kazuya Mishima and Ryu have been locked down for Tekken X Street Fighter's roster, and when pressed on which other Tekken and Street Fighter stalwarts we can expect to see, Harada remains tight-lipped. "We are making progress, but everything is secret so we can't say anything about that," he laughed.
Presumably, we can expect to see Tekken X Street Fighter on next-generation consoles at this point in the current-gen life cycle, although nothing's been confirmed on that front as yet.

How to book tickets for the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
It is strongly recommended that you book in advance should you wish to ascend the Tower of Pisa ... access is strictly limited and showing up on the offchance is likely to see you having a long wait to find an opening time, if indeed it is not already fully sold-out - not uncommon at peak season.
It is not possible to confirm bookings that are more than 45 days from today, but please go ahead and order your tickets and we'll place them on back-order for you, confirming them as soon as the 45 days falls due. We also have a page with visitor information for the Leaning Tower of Pisa should you fancy some background colour. If you happen to be based in Florence then we offer two excursions from there - a trip to visit the tower of Pisa and a day trip that takes in both Pisa and Lucca.
To reserve your tickets for the Tower of Pisa, just fill out the booking form, supply us with credit card details, and we'll do the rest. Once we confirm your reservation we'll then point you to our secure page, where you can print out your voucher. Print it out, take it with you and present it at the pre-arranged meeting point. As simple as that!
Please note that all bags and luggage must be left in the cloakroom (free of charge, see plan below) before you go up the tower. There is now a requirement for all visitors to pass through a metal detector and it is therefore requested that all metal objects are placed in the lockers provided in the cloakroom.
Your visit will last about 40 minutes and it IS permitted to use cameras and videocameras.

Fantasy Baseball All-Star Edition: Which Players Do You Actually Want On Your Team?Just because someone is an All-Star in the eyes of Major League Baseball doesn't mean you need or want them on your fantasy baseball roster. In fact, it's mostly irrelevant to smart fantasy owners. By looking the hitters and pitchers in line for the big honor this week, you can find assets you have that other clueless owners might want in a trade.

I'm going to start with Thunder, since I'm in the same room as him.
I first met Thunder in our junior year of high school. After a couple months of knowing each other, we started dating. Since neither of us remember it that well, clearly we weren't very enthusiastic about it. After maybe two weeks, I broke it off and it was pretty mutual. Over those last two years of high school, we became awesome friends.
Thunder is the one who taught me how not to suck ass at Smash Brothers Melee, which was our main form of bonding after high school. We started also playing World of Warcraft together, he being my tank and I being his priest. It sounds dirty already... Well, nothing of great tumult really happened between Thunder and I save for the last year or so when he shacked up with one of our best friends, Wolf. Both of them had come out of very bad breakups, and they sort of fell into their own relationship.
I thought this was great, because it seemed to complete our circle of friends. Everyone before Wolf and Thunder were already engaged. However, this was not exactly meant to be. Wolf got bored, found she wasn't getting what she wanted from Thunder, and broke it off after only a couple months. Thunder was heartbroken and spent a lot of time pining for Wolf, which made my relationship with both people strained. Thunder would talk incessantly about missing her, and when it wasn't about missing her, it was about what a bitch she was.
It took a long time for Thunder to come out of this terrible funk. When he finally did, Wolf was already beginning another relationship that had been kept secret from all of us. I was devastated that she would be so secretive; I always thought we had the kind of relationship where we could tell each other everything. Wolf claimed it was because she didn't trust me enough. Needless to say, I cut her out of my life and left her adrift to fall where she may. I hate secrets more than almost anything else. They break relationships, even if they are sometimes for the best of reasons. Maybe it's no surprise I have this viewpoint now, because at the same time of this catastrophe of information from Wolf, my parents were threatening divorce on one another because my mother had been seeing someone on the side for a year or more. Just a family secret, right?
Well, this hate for secrets is why I was more than a little irritated with Thunder (who is by nature a very secretive person most times) when he began what Ariel and Vegeta lovingly refer to as a booty call. They say it wasn't a relationship really, because there was no commitment. It was simply sex. Either way, Company and I sure crimped that style when we got kicked out of my parents' house and Ariel took us in like stray puppies.
I feel as though I sort of fell into this relationship the way Thunder and Wolf fell into one... but if it's up to me, I will make it much longer-lasting.
"Love as thou wilt."
Company is my husband. I'm dating Selene, Ariel, Vegeta, Thunder, and Andulvar.

Back to the gridiron: Area teams hold first practice
Published: Thursday, August 1, 2013 at 8:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 1, 2013 at 8:17 p.m.
Today, summer came to a close for high school athletes as the first official day of practice was held for all fall sports.
Photo Galleries
Highlighting those sports is football, and the North Carolina High School Athletic Association mandates that the first five days of football practice will be for physical conditioning only. Those practices are limited to three hours each day.
No body-to-body contact will be allowed at practices until the sixth day, when full uniforms, including pads and helmets, will be worn.
The first official date for football scrimmages is Aug. 10. The first official games will be Aug. 23, and area season openers are Asheville at Hendersonville, Swain County at East Henderson, Madison at West Henderson, Rosman at Brevard, Shelby at Polk County and North Henderson at T.C. Roberson.
Other fall sports beginning practices today are volleyball, boys soccer, cross country, girls tennis and girls golf.

For more information about the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, visit their Web site
Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been accredited by the Joint Commission, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting quality healthcare services. This voluntary accreditation signifies that the hospital's efforts to provide highest-quality healthcare have received professional and national recognition through stringent evaluation and consultation from the Joint Commission.
For nearly 15 years, Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been affiliated with the Planetree Alliance, a group of innovative hospitals and healthcare institutions who are dedicated to implementing innovative programs to personalize, humanize and demystify the healthcare experience for patients and their families. Mid-Columbia was the first Alliance affiliate to adopt and embrace, hospital-wide, Planetree's philosophy of patient-centered care. Considered an exemplary model of Planetree, Mid-Columbia is one of the few affiliates to have incorporated all nine components of the Planetree vision into its facility.
Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been recognized for its outstanding commitment to performance excellence and has received the Oregon Quality Award, which is based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The award is given to industry leaders who have achieved outstanding performance evaluations in leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resources, process management and organizational outcomes.
Celilo has received the highest-possible rating by the independent organization that surveys and evaluates cancer centers nationwide, The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons. In 2013 Celilo received accreditation "with commendation."
Celilo's overall approval rating indicates that, after a thorough examination of 36 standards of care and reporting, a CoC surveyor found zero deficiencies. Approval with commendation is an even loftier citation that means Celilo staff also eclipsed CoC standards in each of nine additional measurements.
Mid-Columbia Medical Center was named as one of seven Oregon companies to demonstrate outstanding commitment to families and community. The Families in Good Company Award is a reflection of Mid-Columbia's dedication to helping employees manage work and family demands, with such benefits as flexible work schedules, job sharing, telecommuting and compressed work weeks, on-site child care and wellness programs.

ANCHORAGE — On a foggy Saturday morning in early January 1978, the body of a 16-year-old girl was found in a ditch off the Seward Highway. An autopsy would later determine she had been beaten, sexually assaulted, dragged behind a car and then tossed down an embankment. Her broken fingernails suggested she had tried to crawl back to the road before she died.
Later that night, police arrived at a party the girl's mother was attending. They pulled her husband outside and spoke to him in hushed tones.
ANCHORAGE — Howard Meyer saw it and his heart sank.
It was a brown bear, down on all fours in the woods. It looked like it could stand 7 or 8 feet tall, he said.
It was too close: about 30 yards away, the distance between bases in a baseball diamond.
Then, he said, the bear huffed and charged at him.
His thoughts?
"Unprintable," he said two days later from a hospital bed. "I thought that it was the end of my life."
It was around 6 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, on a raw spring day in the high reaches of the Eagle River Valley.

Is there any way to use get_posts() function to load the three most commented posts?
Because I used this function to load the three most recent posts by this code:
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3, 'orderby' => 'post_date', 'order' => 'DESC' );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
It worked. It loaded the three most recent posts, but when I tried to change the "orderby" from 'post_date' to 'comment_count', only one post was loaded.
Is there any solution for this issue which doesn't mean to use other function such as wp_query() or query_posts()?

The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
Big congrats to Giuliana and Bill Rancic — they're expecting a baby! The couple announced their big news on The Today Show this morning. Giuliana was diagnosed with breast cancer last fall but isn't letting her illness get in the way of starting a family. The baby is due this summer via a gestational carrier — that means the child is biologically Giuliana and Bill's.
Giuliana and Bill had banked two embryos before she was diagnosed with cancer and one of them resulted in a pregnancy. The couple didn't reveal too much about their gestational carrier to protect her privacy, but said that she's married with two children and they visit her every month.
We're happy for Giuliana and Bill! What do you think of their big news?

The movie comes on like a put-on--next to nothing happens for an excruciatingly long time--and ends as a fascinating dialectic between following one's conscience or following the law.
Police, Adjective is a deadly serious as well as dryly humorous analysis of bureaucratic procedure and, particularly, the tyranny of language. Images may record reality, but words define it.

Two-time world time-trial champion Tony Martin looked set to be the first rider to withdraw from the Tour de France on Saturday, as the German was taken to hospital with a serious-looking injury following a fall on the opening stage.
A host of riders, among them Alberto Contador, went to ground as the finish of the first stage, a 213-kilometre ride from Porto-Vecchio to Bastia on Corsica, was marred by a series of crashes.
Martin, world time trial champion in 2011 and 2012, came off the worst of all, with reports that he fainted twice before he was carried away on a stretcher to be taken to hospital in Bastia.
There were unconfirmed reports that he had suffered a fractured shoulder, and there seems little chance of the 28-year-old being at the start line for Sunday's second stage, from Bastia to Ajaccio.
Losing a team-mate of Martin's calibre would be a big blow to Mark Cavendish's prospects of enjoying a successful Tour, as the Isle of Man sprint specialist seeks to regain the green jersey for the best sprinter that he won in 2011 before losing out to Peter Sagan last year.

this is our second stay at cug's place and we enjoyed our thanksgiving break with some much needed family time. we had 11 adults and 4 children, with plenty of bedrooms and the kids sleeping loft. the fireplace in the living room made for a nice cozy atmosphere. we cooked up a storm,(we did bring crockpot and a couple roasters we knew we would need) but there are plenty of dishes/glasses and cookware. skiing at area resorts was enjoyed by some while others went on walks and sledding. there is a pool table/hot tub and sauna in the lower level as well as another tv if needed. you are supplied w/ sheets/blankets but bring your own bath towels, there is a washer/dryer available in the lower level as well. the living room has a huge sectional and the dining table seats at least 10, and a great place for board games/cards.
the only issue we had was not being able to call out from the phone during an emergency and very limited cell service.we enjoyed our time and would definitely stay here again
If you are looking for the Vermont experience then you will want to rent Cug's place. Its in a beatiful area and has all the creature comforts you look for while on vacation. From the hot tub to the ball pit there is something for everyone in the family including a very nice kitchen. The bedrooms are spread apart so you won't hear aunt bessie snoring. The 14 of us all had a great time. Some of us even went to the ice cream social in a small church 2 munutes away and were warmly welcomed. We look forward to next year.
