On a recent Sunday afternoon, 20 members of Einstein Emerging Leaders (EEL) visited Einstein's Jack and Pearl Resnick campus to volunteer at BRAIN Kids, a project of the Sheryl and Daniel R. Tishman Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory (CNL) headed by Drs. John Foxe and Sophie Molholm. "BRAIN Kids" stands for Brightening Research Awareness in Kids.
The EEL volunteers, which included six members of the group's board, assisted CNL staff in setting up activities designed to stimulate one or more of the five senses—sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell—among children participating in the event. The volunteers also received training in how to conduct the experiments and games, which also tested balance and made use of arts and crafts, videos and computers.
"This is the fourth time we've hosted BRAIN Kids for children receiving services from CERC, and we were delighted to have EEL join us as a partner," said Dr. John Foxe, director of research for the Children's Research and Evaluation Center (CERC). "We're also grateful for their time, giving up their weekend to assist with this very special project. It was clear to us that both the children and EEL volunteers enjoyed their interactions. And it reminded our staff why we do what we do and how rewarding our work can be."
Approximately 60 participants, consisting of children and their families, arrived at noon. For two hours, they tried their hands at fun games and took part in experiments led by the EEL volunteers and members of the CNL, including administrators, researchers and Einstein students. A perennial favorite was the live animal show conducted by staff from Rizzo's Reptiles, who brought various creatures, including snakes, a toad, a chinchilla, a turtle and a skink, to help demonstrate the sense of touch.
"Einstein Emerging Leaders seeks to offer its membership a variety of experiences, so that they can build knowledge and share meaningful stories about Einstein with their friends and the wider community," said Rob Gorrie, the EEL board member who chaired the event. "Volunteering at an event like this is important to us, because it allows our members to gain firsthand exposure to one of Einstein's wonderful programs. And BRAIN Kids is an excellent example of how Einstein makes a difference in the lives of real people every day."

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Two congressmen are raising concerns about
Charter Communication's plan to track Web site visits by customers
for the purpose and provide the information to an online ad firm.
St. Louis-based Charter sent letters this week to its 2.7
million high-speed Internet customers alerting them to the plan.
The pilot program is scheduled to begin in June in four towns in
Texas, California, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Democratic Congressman Edward Markey of Massachusetts and
Republican Joe Barton of Texas asked Charter CEO Neil Smit to put
the plan on hold until the lawmakers can speak with Smit about it.
Charter says the plan will not infringe upon users' privacy or
result in more ads, only ads better targeted to the user. Customers
may also opt out.

Big Dinner Before Shopping
Gala Kicks Off Posh Fashion Fund-Raiser for Lighthouse International
With all that discount on-line shopping happening these days, it's easy to forget what preceded it: the good old-fashioned tag sale.
Well, the ladies who lunch haven't forgotten it, which is one reason why many of them assembled earlier this week at the Plaza for a big dinner to kick off the annual Posh fashion sale. Comprising new and vintage clothing and accessories, the sale opens to the public on Thursday at the hotel. The beneficiary, as always, is Lighthouse International, a nonprofit devoted to fighting vision loss.
One of the original co-founders of the sale was honored at this gala as a Posh Lifetime Visionary. Her name is Kim Baker Campbell, and she is the stepmother of the philanthropist Pauline Pitt, who is in turn the mother of Serena and Samantha Boardman.
These weren't the only members of Ms. Baker Campbell's family in attendance. Many had come up from Palm Beach, where she lives, for the evening. During her speech, Ms. Baker Campbell tried to give shoutouts to many of them. "I knew Pauline when she was 9 and she was just as lovely then as she is today," she said. By the time she got to speaking about her stepgrandchildren, some members of the audience were growing fidgety: not exactly a Posh response.
When Linda Fargo, of Bergdorf Goodman, accepted her award as Posh Lifestyle Visionary, she mentioned that she would be giving a speech and "not a family tree." Many didn't think this was exactly a Posh response, either.
The name Posh, Ms. Baker Campbell said, came from the Peninsula and Orient vessels that would travel between the United Kingdom and India. Apparently "the nicest cabins," she explained, "were 'port out, starboard home.' It meant the best of everything. We had to find a name!" When she was first involved, she and her husband would boat from Long Island to Maine, asking for clothing donations along the way.
She added that she donated many Adolpho ensembles over the years, but they wouldn't do much for her now, nor did she have much luck buying clothes for herself at the annual Posh sale that sprouted up a few years ago in Florida. "Look at my height!" she said. "I used to be six foot, and now I'm five-10 and a half. I've shrunk."
Somers Farkas, Lighthouse's Director of Special Events, is perhaps even taller, and though she donates stuff "I haven't worn in three or four years," she said, she has the same problem as Ms. Baker Campbell. "I have funny legs, and I often have to get new trousers."
"My daughter can wear your trousers," said Debbie Bancroft, Ms. Farkas's friend. "But she's 14."
"Debbie, you have great calves," Ms. Farkas replied. "Debbie has the best calves in New York City."
"I think all of Debbie's legs are fabulous," the furrier Dennis Basso popped by to say. "Not just her calves. Thigh to ankle."
As the conversation continued about socialite gams, on the other side of the room, writer Amy Fine Collins was celebrating her Posh Fashion Visionary award with her husband, her daughter and her fellow writer Bob Colacello. We asked Ms. Fine Collins if she's ever seen someone on the street wearing an ensemble she donated to the Posh sale.
"If I donate something," she explained, "the danger always is that I will wind up rebuying it."
The conversation then moved to what that might mean when it comes to charitable tax deductions.

Subscriber Spotlight - May 2013
Holy crap gang, it seems to have been AGGGGGGGGGES since the last Spotlight. Who else was getting withdrawal symptoms? I mean the kind of cold turkey that only comes with the real hardcore drugs that are liable to get you arrested?
P.S Don't do drugs kids, or Hulk Hogan will be pissed.
Anyway, after literally WEEKS without a load of fascinating tidbits to digest and thrilling questions to read the answers to I've ridden in here like the Lone Ranger to save us all from interminable boredom. Actually, you probably have something better to do but this stuff takes a lot of time and effort so I DEMAND THAT YOU PUT ASIDE YOUR MUCH MORE INTERESTING LIFE AND SIT DOWN AND READ THIS CRAP.
Are we all on the same page here? We'd better be or the lives or these puppies will be hanging in the balance. That's right I'm threatening mans best friend, deal with it.
My incoherent, achievement addled, ramblings aside let us give a warm welcome to my special guest: Madhatters13, who is the general dogsbody in joint charge of the Maximum Clubs. Boo yah!
But what makes this guy tick? I mean other than the fact he is a clockwork soldier, like that dude from the crappy second Oz film or those creepy guys from that one episode of Doctor Who. Let's find out.
(P.S I apologise for a lack of a bridge pic, I just couldn't find one sexy enough and my standards are high).
Welcome to the spotlight! Introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hello everyone. I just want to start off by saying what an awesome surprise it was yesterday morning when I saw the PMs informing me that those mystical creatures at Random.org had given me this prestigious opportunity. This is like a perfect early birthday present. (Edit: This guy has low standards. Does he normally get a lump of coal for his birthday?)
If you've happened to visit any of my profiles I have in my signature, three things would have occurred to you: I'm terribly uncreative when thinking of usernames; I very rarely tweet these days; and my name is Stephan. I'm currently a first year A-Level student, studying chemistry, biology and maths. So much exam-based fun in heading my way in the next month. I love watching The Middle and A Game of Thrones, and am currently reading the third A Song of Fire and Ice book alongside watching the newest season of the TV show. Arya Stark and Tyrion Lannister are my two favourite characters. (Edit: Spoiler from someone that's read all the books - THEY ALL DIE............nah, just kidding.)
I see you're a fan of Leeds United, one of the universes most hated football clubs, so how does that make you feel? Any psychological trauma?
The one thing I love the most about Leeds United fans is the way they can make every stadium feel like home. So much noise even when they're vastly outnumbered on their travels. My biggest dose of psychological came when I was in year 9, the season Leeds parted company with the Premier League. I represented half of the club's fanfare in the year group, so it wasn't much fun when everyone else shared a mutual dislike for your club when such a fun topic like relegation popped up. The good news is we're on the up and up again, so I'm quite looking forward to next season.
That Neil Warnock. What a dick - amirite? (Edit: I should probably mention that he was the manager of Leeds until he got the boot recently).
Haha! This question made me laugh when I first read it. I'm not sure what happened to him in the latter months of his time at Leeds, but he did seem to lose the plot a bit. The instant turnaround in form that Brian McDermott has sparked highlights this even more. How two managers can get such completely different results from the same team of players is beyond me.
I personally find grown men driving round and round in circles fairly pointless, especially when basically the best designer wins, so what's all this fuss about F1? CONVINCE ME OF ITS WORTHINESS PEON!!!
I'm not sure of my ability to convince you, but my interest in F1 started in primary school, when my best friend was mad on it. And I mean mad on it. He knew every detail. My interest has risen and fallen over the years, but I'm glad they've managed to bring the emphasis back to the driver's skill more in recent years. I'm always in awe of how quickly the pit crew can change a set of tires. Oh how easily I could muck that rhythm up.
It provides a nice, relaxing way to spend a Sunday, and unlike football, I don't need to stress myself about how my team is doing.
Back on topic. How did you come up with your gamertag?
This story takes us back to the early 2000s and a PC game by the name of Crimson Skies. This was the game that played host to my first taste of online multiplayer. Me and my Dad loved the single player story, and decided to adopt a variation of our favourite clan's name - the Black Hats. A few minutes of tweaking later, and with the addition of the magical aura provided by the number 13, we have the name that I hide my multiplayer antics behind still today.
What first brought you to x360a, and then what made you stick around and subscribe?
I think it was my hunt for websites that posted gaming news that first brought me to x360a back in early 2008. My BT Home Hub was fresh out of the box and I was on the hunt for all things related to the hobby we all love. I like to think I'm a little unique in that I didn't actually have a 360 when I started regularly visiting the site for my game news fix. Not to worry though, this was quickly rectified in the months following my first visit, although it still took me almost a year to pluck up the courage to hit that register button.
I stuck around because there was always something happening on the site. The members are always friendly and there's always enough being posted on the front page and forums to allow me to happily lose 2 or 3 hours of my day here.
Around 2 months after I registered I decided to hit that subscribe button and join the secret order of subscribers. I wanted to give something back to the site that had eaten away my evenings, and the fact that I got shiny forum goodness and a green name meant everybody wins. Many great times were had in subscriber gaming sessions from Castle Crashers to Call of Duty, but unfortunately I had to stop my subscription at the end of last year due to my return to education. I do love my 2 big yellow dollar signs though.
You currently manhandle the Maximum Clubs (like a burly manly man). What's your motivation to helping others?
I was over the moon when I was given the chance to help out the site as a staff member. I've always just really liked helping people out whenever I can, and when the opportunity to join this team came up I just had to put my name down. I'm a big fan of those warm and fuzzy feelings that come from helping others. The guys who have been a part of the Maximum Club team with me have all been brilliant too bplayak, hodge, Deekboy, KillerBEA, kaleido and Asian. It honestly doesn't feel like I've been doing it for almost 3 years now. I wish I was able to sit at the top of the pile in more than the one Maximum Club that I do currently (Fallout: NV: Honest Hearts), but I take far too long to complete any of the games I play.
Any games you wish you could have been the first in the galaxy to complete, just for the bragging rights?
Hmm, I'd probably go for a big name game like Skyrim just to maximise the bragging rights potential. Truthfully though, I spend way too much time taking in the scenery to ever be in the first 2 million people to finish a game like this. Difficult games would be another option, so something like Geometry Wars would be a neat claim to fame. Hopping over to PS3 land for a moment I'd also say either Killzone 2 or Wipeout HD, two games that didn't know quite where to put the difficulty line.

Is the 360 your only current console? What others have sharpened your gaming skills over the years?
I'm currently the proud owner of all 3 of the current generation of consoles, and they all have their moments in the sunshine (or the dark realm of being forgotten about, as applicable).
My first gaming system was a Commodore Amiga 500 (Edit: Am I seriously the only one old enough to have started on a Spectrum?), which my Grandad gave to me for Christmas when I was either 3 or 4. The first game that I remember playing was called Puggsy, a platformer where you helped a rather cute red alien rebuild his spaceship after an unfortunate crash landing. Growing up, fun times were also had on games such as The Settlers, Cannon Fodder, Sensible Soccer and... this could go on and on. Let's just name one more... umm, AH, The Chaos Engine.
After the Amiga I moved onto the Playstation, which introduced me to Mr. Bandicoot and Mr. Dragon... uh, Spyro and Crash. Then I became I PC gamer, which I enjoyed alongside the Playstation 2. When the PS2 bowed out to the PS3 I drifted away from PC gaming, having never built a self-supporting city in Sim City 4. Then the 360 and Wii joined my collection and we're here today with me still unsure on where the next generation will take me.
What is your gaming setup?
I have a 32" Sony Bravia TV with for my 3 main consoles. My PC is an Emachines; nothing too fancy but it plays games that are a few years old quite well. I still have my PS2 which takes pride of place in my bedroom on an equally aged TV. Fun fact is that I sit on the floor when playing anything other than my PS2, when I opt for the end of my bed instead. I find gaming while sitting in a chair or on a sofa uncomfortable for some reason. I'm just a little strange like that I guess.
When you're picking the next game to grace your console, do you go for game play or achievements first?
Gameplay rules majority vote in this decision. If I know I'll like a game then it will find its way into my collection regardless of how hard or hopelessly uninspired the achievement list is. I do like to see that 'Achievement Unlocked' notification at least once in a gaming session though, so I admit I will also sneak a look at the achievement list before I play a game to see how much hope I have of unlocking a respectable number of the achievements. Higher numbers are better, but it won't sway a decision on whether I buy a game I'm interested in too much.
I also note you are a previous GSL winner (swoon!). Was that your first rodeo? How was it? I hope they were gentle.
My first rodeo was GSL 8 with 3 bandits called Filter x360a, Steve50013 and Gackt, collectively known as All Your Achievements Are Belong To Us (proud owners of the longest team name in the competition). I had a brilliant time over those two months discovering games that were much more fun than I thought they'd be like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and, of course, Hannah Montana. With the good came the bad though, and game like Shellshock 2 and King Kong left me huddled in a corner, with nothing but achievements to keep me going. My total gamerscore for this competition still accounts for a little under half of my total, which may be a little worrying considering I've had my 360 for 5 years now.
Would you do the GSL again or was it a one-off thing? I've been there and the pressure can be intense. Not to mention the clean up..........
I would definitely take part again, although I doubt I'll be a serious contender for another victory. Casually Motivated fitted me both in name and team ethos in last year's GSL, and I still had a brilliant time racking up 10% of my GSL 8 total. I just need to get my Max Club buddy, bplayak, to join me in the fun next time. Clean ups aren't really an issue for me, because my completion percentage lies in a terrible state of disrepair anyway. It has long since been beyond help.
Everyone has a 360 game they can't get enough of, what's yours?
At the moment I'm going through a bit of a barren spell for gaming. I'd say Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 fits this well though. I've done pretty much everything there is to do on them, but keep going back to partake in some terrorist hunt fun. I love the phrases the terrorists come out with, and I can't wait for Rainbow Six Patriots to hit the shelves later this year.
Out of all of the games you played (on any system), which was your favourite?
This is going to be a very difficult question to answer as about 10 games have jumped straight into my mind, but I'll try to keep it to just one game. I think I'm going to go with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. I loved how all the smaller things like characters playing musical instruments around the comforting glow of a campfire going in stark contrast with a midnight ambush by mutant animals in a lonely forest came together to create a brilliant atmosphere. I'd certainly recommend playing it if you get the chance, especially to see the rather ominous later stages of the game.
Well, there has to be a few games that you didn't like. Which ones were the worst?
I feel this is a fitting place for Alone in the Dark. Having pre-ordered the collector's edition of this game I found myself very much underwhelmed with what I experienced. I don't think I ever got any logic out of the story, and that driving section... I know there are many fans of that particular piece out there. To give it a little praise though, the hype surrounding the fire wasn't unfounded. That alone was the best thing in this game for me.
Just Cause is another game. No matter what I tried I just couldn't make myself enjoy it. I loved the idea of the free roaming tropical island, which was the biggest selling point for me in Far Cry 1 and 3, but I just couldn't get along with the execution. It's still in my pile of games on the cupboard though, so there may be a second chance for it some day.
Admit it, there must be a few games you played just to hear that wonderous achievement unlocked sound (especially in a GSL)? NAME AND SHAME THEM!!!
I'm guilty of all the usual suspects - 2K6 and 7 games, Fifa 06, Avatar, Terminator, Cloudy with a chance, Night at the Museum and The Godfather II. I did enjoy the last 3 though, so they're more name than shame. Some part of my mind also convinced me that buying CoD: World at War again on the 360 was a good idea after I platinum'd it on the PS3. That didn't go as well as hoped.
On that topic, what achievement(s) are you most proud of?
Without a doubt, Best of the Best from Rainbow Six: Vegas and Mile High Club from Call of Duty 4. So many hours were spent murdering terrorists at LVU Campus, but it was worth it to see that achievement finally pop up.
Not every game with quick points is easy to complete. Are there any games that you are giving up on or left in the dust?
Forza 3 and 4 fit nicely into this question. They are definitely left in the dust, as I can't see myself putting anymore effort into unlocking Solid Gold or Bucket List. Games that have mercilessly beaten down my efforts to complete them such as Geometry Wars and Trials HD have also been abandoned.
Any games that makes you scream (in frustration/rage or fear)?
Screams of frustration can be heard when I play either of the Trials games. I'm convinced that the bikes on both those games hold some kind of grudge against me, so those two faultless tournament achievements are far beyond my reach.
Fear comes in the form of Silent Hill. It doesn't matter which game it is on any system, those game just freak me out from the moment I put the disk in the console. I don't tend to get scared playing any other games like Dead Space or Resident Evil, but that town just gets me on edge from the moment I start playing.
If you could wipe one game franchise clean off the face of the Earth, which would it be?
After about 10 minutes of thinking over this question I've settled on purging the world of Duke Nukem. I've just never gotten along with the game's approach, and have always had a dislike to Duke himself. The most recent addition to the series left a great deal to be desired after the countless delays, and I question how a game could be released in such a state. I know I'd miss some aspect of a lot of other franchises, but Mr. Nukem would be welcome to disappear anytime.

I see that you're an anime fan (impeccable taste) any awesome shows that you could recommend to me.....I mean, to our readers (if you say something obvious like Cowboy Bebop etc I will cut you!)?
I'd certainly recommend the anime that started me off, Elfen Lied. After you've finished your journey on that emotional rollercoaster, pack a suitcase and head on down to Hinamizawa for 26 episodes of total confusion in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. I still need to watch the second season of that to put some answers to the million questions it left me with.
And on that vein, any anime that you'd love to see made into a game? And what kind of badass game?
Hmm, this is a tough one. I think I'd go with Nyan Koi! I can think of few other things that would be more badass than a game where you have go around keeping our four-legged feline friends happy. Different, if nothing else.
Anime would certainly be a bold change (Well, some anime. CRAZY anime) for games. Do you care that most games nowadays seem to be rehashes? If you could choose would you go for a new IP or something familiar?
It does bother me that games these days are so similar. We're stuck in a time where FPS games stretch as far as the eye can see, and none of them seem to be able to bring much more to the table than a new timezone or some perky new weapons, both of which do little to excite me anymore.
I'd really like to see some more love to be thrown in the direction of the point-and-click adventure. We don't seem to get many of them come out anymore, but with some of my favourite games such as Broken Sword, Monkey Island and The Longest Journey to offer, I think it's a genre that still has so much to offer to gaming. It just needs a merry band of brave individuals to come along and do it justice and I don't think it can fail.
We all know gaming goes on till the early morning. What do you eat and drink to keep the reflexes sharp all night?
I've yet to find a combination that beats chocolate digestives and peach flavoured sparkling water. I do sneak a few cups a tea from time to time as well though.
I'm assuming some of those late night sessions included some achievement boosting. Any good/bad/memorable experiences you can regale us with? Were staff involved?
It's not very often that I boost for achievements, but my most memorable experience was on Wipeout HD back in 2008 with a group of members over on the sister site. Our main objective was to get the trophy Bling Brigade, for completing a race with every player rocking the super shiny paint job awarded for completing the game. The first reason for it being so memorable was because we had arranged to meet at 3am my time (us EU guys were outnumbered). So at the scheduled time we all met up to be greeted by a server maintenance screen. What a welcome sight that had greeted our precision planning, and a trophy that should have taken 10 minutes to get took just over 2 hours.
You have any particular online buddies that you hang out with regularly? Or any that have gone AWOL and you pine for like a lonely wolf?
Both of my first friends on PSN and Xbox Live have left me to fend for myself. I met my first PSN friend, SlyRacing. during my first go at Motorstorm's multiplayer. A few months later he vanished into a puff of smoke, and now occupies the bottom spot of my friend list with the caption 'Last online 2 or more years ago.' It's five years now, but PSN can't be done with counting that high.
My first friend on Xbox Live came from a session of Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 terrorist hunting. I remember I was quite jealous of his 3,500 gamerscore when I had a little over 1,000 myself. The Rainbow Six games were our hunting grounds for about 6 months, before he too abandoned me, never to be seen again. I did once blow up our whole team with a grenade though, so maybe that contributed.
I used to play multiplayer a lot more than I do these days. Back when Call of Duty 4, Battlefield: Bad Company and Warhawk were the games making the headlines the majority of my gaming time was spent causing trouble with a group of my buddies, playing together almost every time the opportunity arose. Now we all seem to stick to the single player side of the fence, hardly touching multiplayer at all. We all still chat regularly though.
Naked gaming - good or the stuff of nightmares?
This sounds like something that every gamer needs to partake in. I would too, of course, but I feel that the moment would be wasted without a Kinect to transmit the terrifying images to the TV screen.
What was the last thing you purchased on the arcade? Worth it?
The last game I purchased from the arcade was ilomilo during the recent Last Man Standing tournament. I've had my eye on it for some months, and so far I haven't been disappointed. The only downside was that the duo's cuteness wasn't enough to appease the powers of Random.org, and I was eliminated from the tournament the next day.
Do you purchase/enjoy DLC? Or see it as a vicious cash cow to be ignored?
If a game leaves me with cravings for more I'll happily welcome any DLC onto my Xbox like a loyal customer and fan... eventually. Like the list of games that I want to play, the DLC "to play" list is almost as long. Mass Effect 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood are good examples of this. I will buy it eventually, but the developers shouldn't make any financial decisions based on this knowledge until the money is in their possession. It may be quite a wait while I get through everything I want to play.
New achievements are a bonus too, of course, but I won't buy DLC for a game I didn't particularly love just to keep my achievement percentage up.
I note that you have clocked up some of our Over Achiever tasks and snagged a bronze award (I have Platinum - don't feel bad). Any more of those badboys in your sights?
It has to be known that I am most jealous of that shiny platinum award in your award showcase. I'd like to get Handyman Carnby as that's the only achievement I don't have in that game (I'd taken all I could handle after getting all the others). I think Elitist from Tropico 3 will come shortly when I get back to playing it again. I'd like to play the Silent Hill Collection at some point, so I'll try to get the dog ending along the way. I'd also like to get the 2 Assassin's Creed achievements and, I know it'll never happen, but A Monument to all Your Sins would be a most valued addition to my achievement collection.
You have also made your own club. Why did you choose THOSE particular games? Personal nostalgia or pride?
For Call of Duty and Age of Booty it was for the pride of completing them. I wanted others to have to experience the pai... brilliant challenges these two games had to offer. Monkey Island was chosen because it made me laugh so many times throughout the story and made Mr. Threepwood or Thrifweed one of my all time favourite game characters. Fallout 3 was the first (and only, thanks to Gun Runners' Arsenal) Bethesda game that I have achieved 100% on. It also allowed me to add the word intergalactic to my club name, so it had to go in.
On a scale of 1-Infinity just how awesome is that there Monkey Island?
As you can probably guess I loved Monkey Island. That's quite a score scale though, so let's go with Avagadro's constant, 6.022 x10 to the 23/infinity. You should buy it. You need to buy it. (Edit: I did buy it. THREE times. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?)
Which game(s) are you most eagerly awaiting?
Watch Dogs tops my list of games I'm looking forward to at the moment. I loved the footage that I saw during the Playstation 4 press conference (the highlight of the whole thing in my opinion), so this game is definitely on my radar.
Rainbow Six: Patriots is another game I'm really looking forward to. I've enjoyed all of the Tom Clancy games I have played, since Rogue Spear on the PC many years ago. I think this game will be replacing Call of Duty as the home of my multiplayer shenanigans.
Finally, I couldn't let this question pass without mentioning Dreamfall: Chapters. Until earlier this year it had been little more than a rumour, but now it's been confirmed I can't wait to make a return to Arcadia and Stark.

If you could add ONE thing/feature to the site, what would it be?
Can we pretend you asked me this question back in January so I can say staff clubs again? Thinking on the spot it's hard to come up with something as we've seen so many awesome changes and additions here so far this year. Maybe expand the staff club idea to include members who have been regular contributors to the community and site.
If you were Admin of the site for a day, what would you do?!
I would almost certainly spend the first hour staring admirably at my awesome red username. After that I'd hope that I got an invite to some shiny new game unveiling, or bring back the Cheevomaniacs podcast, as I miss listening to that. I think I'd need to put some time into locating this fortune that Jackanape keeps mentioning. He covers his tracks well, but I think I know the truth, and with the free access to the entire site adminship brings, there's no better time to try to locate it (Edit: Ahem, I have no idea where these people are getting their information *whistles casually*).
Any closing remarks?
Thank you to Jackanape and the mystical Random.org for giving me this opportunity to pour my heart out in the spotlight. I hope I haven't overdone it.
It's been great being a member and a part of the staff here for the last 5 and 3 years, and I look forward to seeing what other awesome stuff waits for us in the future. Now would be the perfect time to add that Monkey Island game I keep talking about to your download queue. 800 points for 800 laughs you can't lose.

From the book jacket: It is 1855, and engineer William May has returned
home to his beloved wife from the battlefields of the Crimea. He secures a job
transforming London's sewer system and begins to lay his ghosts to rest. Above
ground, his work is increasingly compromised by corruption, and cholera
epidemics threaten the city. But it is only when the peace of the tunnels is
shattered by murder that William loses his tenuous hold on sanity. Implicated in
the crime, plagued by visions and nightmares, even he is not sure of his
innocence. Long Arm Tom, who scavenges for valuables in the subterranean world
of the sewers and cares for nothing and no one but his dog, Lady, is William's
only hope of salvation. Will he bring the truth to light?

Methods and the terminology to describe the steps of making hay has varied greatly throughout history, and many regional variations still exist today. However, whether done by hand or by modern mechanized equipment, tall grass and legumes at the proper stage of maturity must be cut, then allowed to dry (preferably by the sun), then raked into long, narrow piles known as windrows. Next, the cured hay is gathered up in some form (usually by some type of baling process) and placed for storage into a haystack or into a barn or shed to protect it from moisture and rot.

Hello -
I'm parsing my RSS feed into a flash website. I've got it working great, accept for YouTube embedded video links - the embedded link pulls nothing. This happens with both <iframe> and <embed> tags.
And this happens accessing the straight feed in a browser - the embedded link doesn't work and shows nothing.
In wordpress I've tried setting up the theme functions.php for posting thumbs, which works, and shows thumbs of post images in the RSS feed just fine, but doesn't pull the video player.
I've also tried using Actionscript 3 API codes that would work pulling the video player into flash directly, to see if just having the api code in the post would parse in the flash swf, but used in a wordpress blog of course actionscript code does nothing, so still nothing.
Is this even possible? Any ideas /tips would be much appreciated.

"We don't have a setting across this country where if you don't have insurance, we just say to you, "Tough luck, you're going to die when you have your heart attack," he said as he offered more hints as to what he would put in place of "Obamacare," which he has pledged to repeal.
"No, you go to the hospital, you get treated, you get care, and it's paid for, either by charity, the government or by the hospital. We don't have people that become ill, who die in their apartment because they don't have insurance."
He pointed out that federal law requires hospitals to treat those without health insurance†although hospital officials frequently say that drives up health-care costs.
Is Romney right? Does being insured matter? If hospitals are required to treat you, insurance or not, then shouldn't everyone be getting treatments that they need?

As a member of the United States Coast Guard Band she had the honor of performing at the Inauguration of President Clinton and with such eminent soloists as Placido Domingo, Martha Reeves and Lorrie Morgan.
Ms. O'Connor has been featured on numerous occasions as a soloist with the Eastern Connecticut Symphony. Her performance of Copland's Clarinet Concerto in 2012 earned her praise in the New London Day as "the star of the evening…playing with the rich timbre and unhurried phrasing that are her trademarks." Following a 2000 performance of Weber's first Clarinet Concerto, the Day described her as "an individualistic player with plenty of head and heart...gorgeous tone and liquid line." She performed the rarely-heard Clarinet Concerto of Charles Stanford at Summer Music at Harkness, and was also featured as a soloist with the United States Coast Guard Band. In April 2016 she is scheduled to perform the West Coast premiere of Oscar Navarro's "Il Concerto" with the Downey Symphony (CA).

Using Windows 7 Professional 64bit PPTP VPN (using the built in networking client)
I'm connecting to my home VPN server from my work computer. This previously worked without issues using Windows XP, but since my workplace has migrated to 7, I'm seeing this issue:
I can connect and use the VPN connection without any problems. I can RDP to my home computers, access network shared, etc without issues. Windows 7 seems to make the VPN connection the default for everything, which is not working for certain things on the work PC. Namely, when I connect to the VPN I can't access our database servers (I would assume because Windows is looking for them at my house via the VPN connection).
This isn't necessarily a huge problem if I'm sitting at my work computer and can switch the VPN on and off, but I do use the VPN connection to remote desktop to my work PC from home (using the VPN backwards in a way). I can activate the VPN connection remotely without issue and RDP to the work computer without issues. So I can't access work resources when remotely connected to my work PC via the VPN connection.
Since my company doesn't use RDP for anything, I could just say all RDP traffic should use the VPN and be fine. Little Help?

The Relationship between Perceived Discrimination and Psychotherapeutic and Illicit Drug Misuse in Chicago, IL, USA

Based on several stress-coping frameworks, recent studies have suggested that perceived experiences of discrimination, a psychosocial stressor, may be associated with various risky health behaviors. The 2001 Chicago Community Adult Health Study (n = 3,101), a face-to-face representative probability sample of adults in Chicago, IL, USA, was used to examine the relationship among lifetime everyday discrimination, major discrimination, and the use of illicit and psychotherapeutic drugs for nonmedical reasons. We used negative binomial logistic and multinomial regression analyses controlling for potential confounders. Approximately 17 % of the respondents reported using one or more illicit drugs and/or misusing one or more psychotherapeutic drug. Adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics, other stressors and various personality-related characteristics, results from negative binomial regression suggest that respondents who experienced moderate to high levels of everyday discrimination misused on average 1.5 different kinds of drugs more than respondents that experienced relatively low levels of everyday discrimination (p < 0.05). Similarly, an increase in one lifetime major discrimination event was associated with an increase of misusing 1.3 different drugs on average regardless of experiences of everyday discrimination (p < 0.001). When examining the types of drugs misused, results from multinomial logistic regression suggest that everyday discrimination was only associated with illicit drug use alone; however, lifetime major discrimination was associated with increased odds of using any illicit and both illicit/psychotherapeutic drugs. Mental health and substance use clinical providers should be aware of these potential relationships and consider addressing the harmful effects of perceived discrimination, in all patients not only among racial/ethnic minority patients.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this bedskirt. The rows of tucks above the eyelet lace gives it a detailed appearance & is just the right touch! This looks & feels like a much more expensive item. A great buy!
This dust ruffle (twin) is beautiful. Well made, even the part that goes on the mattress that you don't see. This is a properly made dust ruffle. Would buy again with no hesitation!
Great product. Well made.
The cut work as well as cotton quality is truly European fine linen. It is so lovely on my bed.
So beautiful and practical. Looks great!
This Bedskirt is Beautifully made as I much expected it to be for the Price I paid. Picture gives Us the illusion that this Winter-White Bedskirt is a much brighter White like most Pure Snow-White Bedsheets quite often are, and that is the Color I am truly needing for My Summer Bed Linens. The Color of this Bedskirt is actually more of an Eggshell-White or a very Lt Ivory. Since I also need a Winter-White (or a very Lt Ivory) Colored Bedskirt for the Winter Months, I will Not Return it due to the High Quality of this Item. So I must continue My search for a Quality Bedskirt to match My Pure Snow-White Bedsheets, but I won't trust Overstock any further in this endeavor. I need this Pure-White Bedshirt Now and don't have the time for Returning "Color" Mistakes like this. Thank You, I hope this helps You.
The material didn't have a sheen to it like in the picture. Washes well!
Wanted a bedskirt that would add some texture and interest. Quality seems fine. Looks great with batik style bedding.
This is simply one of the prettiest dust ruffles I have seen. The few extra inches from the more typical length gives the bed such a great look with a quilt on top. It was worth searching out this item because it really stands out from the rest. Excellent workmanship.
The skirt does not look like the one pictured - the bottom layer is cut out eyelets and the upper trim is four rows of straight stitching. I liked it well enough to keep it, but it was a lot more expensive than my other eyelet bed skirt (although this one is a higher quality).
This was kind of an expensive bed-skirt - but as they say you get what you pay for. It is very full, fabric is nice it is not skimpy at all. You should plan on washing and ironing this before you attempt to put it on the bed - since it isn't an item you change out weekly. the wrinkles would be impossible to just press out otherwise - I did put it on the bed then decided it had to come off and get washed - not an easy job for one person to move off the mattress twice. Just a thought that might help you. I think if you are looking for a nice full elegant looking bed-skirt in white this will work or you.

Windows Home Server (WHS) has an excellent incremental background strategy. It keeps diff. snapshots of the last three days, one for each of the last three weeks, and one for each of the last three months.
Here is the Wikipedia article on Incremental Backups: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental%5Fbackup
Is there a way to duplicate this with Windows Server 2008 and/or R2?
I ask because just about every other piece of WHS can be duplicated in W2K8 (MMS streaming, ever-expanding disk volumes using Distributed File System across folders, user management, etc). Given, it's a lot more of a PITA to do manually.
The backup strategy is the last piece. Just how do they do that on WHS? Is it custom? I know there are 3rd party solutions that can do it. I am looking for the built-in version.
Thank you in advance.

Chicken and Hummus wraps with multi grain tortilla sounds delicious. Chef is making it for a girl's party and he is showing us two ways of building up the wraps and serving them. For all the health concious people, this is a healthy alternative to chicken fingers. Some extra vegetables in a fat free tortillas wrap would be wonderful as a complete healthy meal or snack.

Previous GeneCards Identifiers for VCX3B Gene
Summaries for VCX3B Gene
This gene belongs to the VCX/Y gene family, which has multiple members on both X and Y chromosomes, and all are expressed exclusively in male germ cells. The X-linked members are clustered on chromosome Xp22, and the Y-linked members are two identical copies of the gene within a palindromic region on chromosome Yq11. The family members share a high degree of sequence identity, with the exception that a 30-nt unit is tandemly repeated in X-linked members but occurs only once in Y-linked members. The VCX gene cluster is polymorphic in terms of copy number; different individuals may have a different number of VCX genes. This family member, as represented by the reference genome allele, contains 14 copies of the 30-nt repeat unit. VCX/Y genes encode small and highly charged proteins containing putative bipartite nuclear localization signals. Although the exact function of this family member has yet to be determined, a role in mRNA stability regulation can be inferred from the ability of the highly similar family member, VCX-A, to inhibit mRNA decapping. A possible role in the regulation of ribosome assembly during spermatogenesis has also been suggested. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

Byobu, a session manager for the command line
Window Fitter
The Byobu session manager extends the shell, adding a range of useful functions, such as splitting the screen, running programs in the background, or organizing programs in tabs. In particular, administrators who rely on SSH will appreciate Byobu.
If you search Wikipedia for "Byobu," you will find an article on Japanese screens. The Linux tool of the same name [1] is not as decorative, but in terms of versatility and convenience, it is similar to its counterpart from the Far East. Designed to supplement Screen, the Linux full-screen window manager, Byobu is already included in most distributions.

BOSTON (AP) — Law enforcement officials say a man was shot while he was being questioned in the Boston Marathon bombing case after he lunged at an FBI agent with a knife.
Two officials confirmed that 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev came at the agent Wednesday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details of the investigation.
The FBI initially said the agent fired the fatal shot, but later in the day the bureau left open the question of who was responsible.
The shooting early Wednesday took place in Orlando, Fla., where an FBI agent along with other law enforcement personnel were interviewing the man, identified as 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev.
In a statement, FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said the FBI agent acted on an imminent threat and shot Todashev.
The FBI agent was transported to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
An FBI team was dispatched from Washington to review the shooting, a standard step that is taken in such incidents.
Even before his encounter with the FBI, Todashev, a mixed martial arts fighter, had a recent run-in with law enforcement.
He was arrested earlier this month on a charge of aggravated battery after getting into a fight over a parking spot with a 54-year-old man and his 35-year-old son over a parking spot at an Orlando shopping mall. The 35-year-old man was hospitalized with a split upper lip and several teeth knocked out, according to a report from the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
"Also by his own admission Todashev was recently a former mixed martial arts fighter," the arresting deputy said in his report. "This skill puts his fighting ability way above that of a normal person."
Todashev was released on $3,500 bond after his May 4 arrest. His attorney, Alain Rivas, didn't immediately respond to a phone inquiry Wednesday.
Police tape blocked off the complex of townhomes near Universal Studios where Todashev was shot.
Jared Morse, who lives in the next building from Todashev's unit, said he had been watching an NBA game when he heard loud bangs that sounded like gunfire.
"It's crazy, especially in this neighborhood," Morse said as he walked his dog. "Nothing like this ever happens here."

The village of Bayside board of trustees unanimously voted Thursday to close the yard waste collection site on Fairy Chasm Road and offer one collection day per month for both recycling material and yard waste.
The unmonitored yard waste site, 201 E. Fairy Chasm Road, has been a target of ongoing illegal dumping by both nonresidents and contractors, said Village Manager Andy Pederson. Because of this abuse, the board voted to create a monthly drop off day on the third Tuesday of each month for residents to drop off their yard waste and recycling materials at Village Hall, 9705 Regent Road.
"We're changing the service and we're adding a service," Pederson said.
The Bayside Police Department has patrolled the dump site over the past couple of years and written citations to people from many of the surrounding North Shore communities. Electronic items, steel, a toilet, windows and hazardous materials have been found illegally dumped at the site.
"We know of several contractors who in the last week, who are doing business out of town, brought their brush here and taxpayers have to absorb that cost to move it and grind it," Pederson said.
The transition into closing the current collection site will take a few weeks, as will the start of the monthly collection cycle at Village Hall.

The strong-migration limit in geographically structured populations

Some strong-migration limits are established for geographically structured populations. A diploid monoecious population is subdivided into a finite number of colonies, which exchange migrants. The migration pattern is fixed and ergodic, but otherwise arbitrary. Generations are discrete and nonoverlapping; the analysis is restricted to a single locus. In all the limiting results, an effective population number N e (⩽ N T ) appears instead of the actual total population number N T . 1. If there is no selection, every allele mutates at rate u to types not preexisting in the population, and the (finite) subpopulation numbers N i are very large, then the ultimate rate and pattern of convergence of the probabilities of allelic identity are approximately the same as for panmixia. If, in addition, the N i are proportional to 1/u, as N T →∼8, the equilibrium probabilities of identity converge to the panmictic value. 2. With a finite number of alleles, any mutation pattern, an arbitrary selection scheme for each colony, and the mutation rates and selection coefficients proportional to 1/N T , let P j be the frequency of the allele A j in the entire population, averaged with respect to the stationary distribution of the backward migration matrix M. As N T → ∼8, the deviations of the allelic frequencies in each of the subpopulations from P j converge to zero; the usual panmictic mutation-selection diffusion is obtained for P j , with the selection intensities averaged with respect to the stationary distribution of M. In both models, N e = N T and all effects of population subdivision disappear in the limit if, and only if, migration does not alter the subpopulation numbers.

I think the major reason my employer switched to .40 as the mandated duty pistol standard was that it had enough rounds in a typical magazine to satisfy the capacity-hungry folks, enough velocity to placate the energy folks, and a big enough bore to placate the big boredom crowd. I work for a big-city PD with several thousand sworn officers, and before standardizing on .40, we carried just about anything and everything from 38 Special and 9mm on the low end to .45 ACP and Colt on the high end.
We still must buy our own duty firearms, and much other duty equipment, a typical Texas tradition to keep taxes low, but we now are guided by a list of about eight models from four manufacturers. Nobody had to buy a new pistol when the policy changed; anyone can keep their older pistols "grandfathered" by keeping up to date on the qualification schedule. I used grandfathered .45 ACP 1911s for five years after the .40 standard started. We can still carry a fairly broad range of other handguns as "back-up" on the clock, and for concealed carry off the clock.
To be clear, even though many agencies see the .40 as a compromise round, I don't see it that way. I loved my S&W Model 58 .41 Magnum sixgun, with milder-than-max loads, as a duty handgun from 1985 to around 1991, and was a 10mm fan from its inception. I experimented with .40 Browning Hi-Powers in the mid-1990's. A forty-ish bore is fine with me, though I have evolved to disregard actual bore diameter, as well as pure energy figures, and look at what has actually worked for others, over time. Decent velocity, decent energy, and good bullet construction all trump bore diameter, and shot placement is king.
I cannot publicly disclose my employer in social media, but being a big-city PD, we shoot bad folks on a regular basis, and sadly, we get shot sometimes by bad guys, on occasion by our own snatched or otherwise stolen guns. The .40 works fine, when placed well, regardless of bullet weight. In the days when we carried a wider variety of ammo, it all worked quite well when placed well, too. Going forty did not notably increase nor decrease the success rate of our shootings. The Texas state troopers in the more rural areas around us shoot enough bad guys with their 357 SIGs to cause me to look favorably upon that relatively new cartridge; I may convert my P229s after I retire, and already own one conversion barrel.
One-shot stops are hard to calculate, because we don't train to shoot once and then sit back to observe our handiwork. I only fired my .357 Magnum sixgun once, back in the day, because the bad guy ceased to be a target immediately upon impact of the first and only shot.

Metal Gear Solid 4 will at last receive a patch that will introduce support for PS3s Trophy system.
Andriasang reports that the news was broken by Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima in an interview in this weeks issue of Japanese weekly Famitsu.
Trophies will be integrated into disc copies of the games budget re-release in August in Japan. Owners of the current game will be able to download a patch that adds Trophy support.
Metal Gear Solid 4 was released in June 2008. Sony didnt add Trophy support to PS3 until the following month.
Most games that had been recently released on the system saw their developers patch in support but despite the calls of fans Kojima productions never made it happen.

On 'Metamorphosis' you will hear elements of: electronica, dance beats, industrial & gothic sounds, classical/orchestral moments & plenty of ambient soundscapes thrown in. Zora and 'Metamorphosis' are alternative & indie as can be and that is what makes this group and its concept album so darn intriguing!"

FILM REVIEW; Pile in Everybody, It's Road Trip Time, As Another Family Starts an Odyssey
As its title suggests, ''Johnson Family Vacation,'' which opens nationwide today, could be described as a family road-trip comedy in the weary tradition of the National Lampoon Vacation movies starring Chevy Chase. Unfortunately, this rendition, with the redoubtable Cedric the Entertainer in the put-upon patriarch role, feels more like a grueling road trip in search of a family comedy. Once the destination, a reunion in a small Missouri town, is finally reached, the movie loosens up a little, but not enough to make the cramped, bumpy ride worth it. ''When are we going to be there?'' you want to cry out, ''there'' meaning either a worthwhile joke or, failing that, the end credits.
This is a shame since Cedric, as fans of the ''Barbershop'' movies and connoisseurs of Bud Lite (or at least Bud Lite commercials) well know, can be a mischievous and engaging comic performer. For most of ''Johnson Family Vacation,'' though, he languishes in the role of straight man, speaking in his exaggerated uptight-professional voice and feigning exasperation at the doings of his rather generic onscreen family.
Cedric plays Nate Johnson, an insurance executive who sets off for his ancestral home in a maroon Lincoln Navigator that has been equipped with 26-inch rims, hydraulic suspension and other ''thugged out'' features because of a misunderstanding at the customizing shop. Accompanying him are his three children and his wife (Vanessa Williams), from whom he has been separated for a few months. He must also contend with his adolescent son, D. J. (Bow Wow), whose love of hip-hop offends Nate's old-school sensibilities; with his headstrong teenage daughter, Nikki (Solange Knowles); and with the imaginary dog of his younger daughter, Destiny.
All of this would be just fine if the script had any freshness or sparkle, or if the director, Christopher Erskin, knew how to package the recycled jokes. En route to the reunion, various obstacles present themselves -- a menacing 18-wheeler, a Devil-worshiping hitchhiker (Shannon Elizabeth), a hot tub full of fat women -- none terribly inspired, and all funnier in concept than in execution. These mishaps turn the whole Johnson clan into a family of straight men, which makes for a boring trip indeed.
A measure of relief comes when they reach Missouri, where Cedric reappears in the person of Uncle Earl, a kind of country cousin to the rambling old-timer he plays in the ''Barbershop'' pictures. Earl, who takes the battered Navigator to his down-home auto repair shop, brings a jolt of anarchic clowning to the movie, as does Steve Harvey, who plays Nate's supercompetitive older brother. The various issues that have bedeviled the Johnsons are resolved, and they rather abruptly head back home to Los Angeles, making you wonder why they ever undertook this journey in the first place.
''Johnson Family Vacation'' is rated PG-13. It has some mildly naughty jokes and references.

Any ideas why my WordPress dashboard would be looking like this: http://brainoplasty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/error2.png?
Also, intermittently when I try to view posts/log-in/upload media/update a post it'll crap out and give me Chrome's standard "no data received" you've-gone-absolutely-nowhere page.
I called GoDaddy, where I'm hosting it, and they basically shrugged and said 'best of luck with that.'
I downloaded the error logs, but they're not very helpful.

My home defense firearm is an M4gery. I live out in the boonies and want the ability to reach out and touch. I have used mine 3x in the last 3 years to shoot 2 coyotes and a badger - all in standoffs with the family dog at fairly decent ranges (100 - 150 yrds). Being x-military I am more than comfortable in the handling....I do have a handgun bedside for the immediate investigation until I can get to the long gun.
As for the "civil unrest" scenario, ask some of the survivors of Katrina how long it was before the federal's "flooded the area". There were plenty of places on their own for a significant amount of time. Again I live in the boonies and if there were wide spread unrest I would use the M4gry for outdoor patrols and the M1A for area-interdiction (there are only two roads into/out-of our neighborhood and I can cover both from second floor windows in my house).
