Jackson from Grand Buffet caught in a Pittsburgh crossfire
Jackson from Grand Buffet was caught in a crossfire while biking through Pittsburgh last night. Thankfully he was only shot in the leg. Lord Grunge (the other half of Grand Buffet) notified us saying that Jackson left the hospital this morning and he should be fine. We would like to wish him a speedy recovery.
When we find out more info we will certainly let people know. I'm meeting with Lord Grunge tonight. If there's a need for a benefit to help with hospital costs you can count on SFR to help organize something. A part of me wants to Kathy Bates the guy and keep him tied to a bed so I can fanboy him back to health. Wait...what? Shhhhh.
Jackson is one of the most interesting, smart, funny and health conscious people I've ever met. I'm so grateful he didn't suffer a worse injury. Love you, man.

here's the info Jackson posted on a local messageboard yesterday. Too good:
"riding my bike past the Sunoco (121 N. NEGLEY AVENUE) in East Liberty , I hear gunshots and quickly realize that they are aimed toward my immediate area , felt a tap on my right leg by the knee area. I'm home know , there is a bleeding hole that I can stick a finger tip in and a new bump , dunno if it's shattered bone or a bullet or debris from a ricochet. gonna look into this now. this happened about fifteen minutes ago.
dudes were running fast , I couldn't tell if they were shooting at me or chasing & shooting at someone else. either way ,, these guys were goobers ! dorks ! jerks !
it's been said before , but ,,, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THAT SUNOCO !!! (unless you are Bat Man)"

What a terrible situation to have found himself in.
This guy exudes class and is a terrific entertainer. Very glad to hear the injuries suffered were not worse, and here's to hoping for a quick recovery, and maybe a little youtube snippet of a Misery'esque fanboy rehab somewhere down the line.

This thread scared me for a second. Glad it was only the leg, though the whole scenario is horrible. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

Jackson is awesome. We're tumblr buddies. That's definitely a gangsta response to a messed up situation. Hope everything works out on the cost side. If you get shot by someone else that person should be accountable for the cost.
Getting shot in the leg on your bike is pretty high level street cred.

Residents of Devola gathered at the volunteer fire department to hear about phase two of the Devola sewer sanitary improvements Tuesday night.
The first phase began in fall 2011 and involved rehabilitating existing sewers and other work. Phase two will involve creating new sewers where there are none.
About 50 people were on hand to listen to the proposed plan from the consulting engineer and representatives from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
The main issue that the Devola area is facing is a high level of nitrates concentrated in the ground water, they said.
Anything above a nitrate level of 10 in drinking water poses a health risk, according to Chris Kenah, a spokesman with the division of drinking and ground water for the EPA.
"In the east side of Devola we noticed a moderate amount of nitrates in the 5 to 6 range," Kenah said. "For areas without sewers we noticed higher levels of nitrates in the water, even getting up into 8 to 12 levels."
All the data that has been gathered over the years shows there is a health hazard with the ground water located in Devola, said Steve Wells of the EPA.
Wells explained that the county commissioners really had no choice but to address and resolve the issue.
"If the county would have refused to act on this project then the Ohio EPA would have been forced to file suit against them," Wells said. "That type of a process is never beneficial and we always prefer to simply negotiate for the best possible outcome."
The commissioners decided that sanitary sewers would be the best course of action to rectify the problem and the EPA approved.
"Unfortunately this is something that we as a community can't avoid," said Susan Burkhart, a resident of Devola for 15 years.
Burkhart, who recently retired from working in the county commissioners office, has been actively keeping up with this project since the beginning stages.
"This is going to cause over a $900 increase in utilities per year for residents of the area," Burkhart said. "Thankfully the commissioners mentioned that there will be an income survey that will allow those on a limited income to receive some financial help."
The spike in utilities will be in part due to a reverse osmosis treatment in order to remove some of the nitrates from the water supply.
"We are hoping to be able to treat the water to reduce the nitrate levels down to around 3 or 4," said Jay Huck, the manager and operator of Putnam Water.
"We will be switching from a three-month to a two-month billing cycle," Huck said. "The average bill should go from around $98 in three months to around $70 for two."
Huck said he believes there are benefits to the reverse osmosis treatment and the community will notice that in time.
"Due to the process of reverse osmosis residents will be getting soft water," Huck said. "One of our goals is for people to feel safe to drink their water."
While it's a long way from set, the current and fastest projection for the completion of the sanitary sewer system is July 2014.
As for how long it would take the nitrate levels to drop in the area water supply after the system is in place, Huck isn't completely certain.
"A conservative guess would be that it would take around 20 years to clean up the nitrates from the water source, but eventually the sewer system will help," he said.

OAKLAND -- The daily health question regarding point guard Stephen Curry remained a mystery Monday, because the Warriors didn't practice before catching a flight to San Antonio for Tuesday's Game 5.
Curry took his third injection of the postseason before Game 4 after spraining his left ankle for a second time late in Game 3. He said after the game Sunday that he doesn't expect to be significantly more mobile the rest of the series, even though he managed some big shots down the stretch in the Warriors' overtime victory and wound up with 22 points.
"He'll get treatment today, he'll get treatment (Tuesday)," coach Mark Jackson said. "We'll just see how he feels. I haven't seen him, I have not spoken to him. But it's good to have all day today and all day tomorrow to recoup and recover."
The Spurs' Manu Ginobili said Sunday that even if Curry is limited, he is a dangerous threat.
"He's a player that you may see playing on one leg and one arm, but you still have to guard him, you still have to respect him," Ginobili said. "He can go off on you at any time."
Ginobili had many complimentary things to say about the Warriors' youth, toughness and competitiveness, which was music to the ears of Jackson.
"It's a tall task to beat them, and we're thrilled to be in a three-game series against that team and what they've been able to do for a long time now," the coach said. "For a statement like that from a guy like Ginobili, I don't take it lightly. It says a lot about my guys, and it works both ways."
"Get in line," Jackson said. "Executive (Bob Myers) in seventh place, Steph Curry at home during All-Star week, Joe Lacob probably the No. 7 owner, Harrison Barnes no votes for Rookie of the Year, Jarrett Jack wasn't the Sixth Man of the Year. The only thing they got right was me."
Jackson finished seventh in Coach of the Year voting last week.
Jackson said superior free-throw shooting is often the Warriors' secret weapon.
"It's a big strength, we're a very good free-throw-shooting team," he said. "We have some that have to work on it, but overall, we have guys who are usually going to go to the line and knock them down. A lot of them have been good at it their entire lives."

When the 1991 Oakland Hills fire raged through Diana Graham's former neighborhood, she was taken by complete surprise. She lost everything she owned as the blaze claimed her home.
Now, the Moraga resident and volunteer with the Red Cross disaster preparedness program wants to ensure residents of her town and others around Contra Costa County have plans in place to act fast in any emergency -- and she thinks the upcoming National Night Out is a prime venue for doing that.
"You can't be in denial anymore. These things can happen to you and a little forward planning can make a huge difference in the outcome," Graham said.
Along with learning how to prevent crime in their neighborhoods, Lamorinda residents are also being encouraged to form neighborhood evacuation plans and brainstorm for different emergency scenarios during National Night Out on Aug. 5.
This is National Night Out's 31st year, and the first time Lamorinda's three communities have coordinated to hold their events on the same night, in hopes of engaging more residents.
Nearly 38 million people in more than 16,000 communities across the U.S. are expected to gather on the first Tuesday in August for outdoor block parties, barbecues and ice cream socials with their neighbors.
In Walnut Creek, police ask that between 5:30 and 9 p.m. that evening, residents in neighborhoods throughout the city lock their doors, turn on their outside lights and spend the evening on porches, lawns, and front steps talking with neighbors and police officers. Neighborhood Watch groups are also encouraged to plan special events, such as potlucks, block parties, ice cream socials, and the like.
Police department representatives will be visiting Walnut Creek neighborhoods during that time, talking to residents about watching out for themselves and for each other, preparing for problems big and small.
In Moraga, Graham said, "We don't have as much contact with our neighbors in some areas and this is an opportunity to do something intentional to help you find out who your neighbors are and help you be more aware of what's going on in your community."
Plus, she added, it's a lot of fun.
For many Lamorinda residents, however, crime prevention will still be the top priority this National Night Out. A spate of high-profile, daytime burglaries in recent weeks have put many on edge and ready to take steps to increase public safety.
"I knew there had been burglaries in the past several years since I've lived in Orinda but it just seems that the frequency is increasing and the nature of them is more brazen," said Mark Veverka, who has become active in educating his neighbors about crime concerns and prevention.
Another Orinda resident, whose house has been broken into a handful of times over the past 20 years, said, "I would bet there is not one person in Orinda that hasn't known someone who has had something broken, stolen or taken from them."
Veverka and others are forming neighborhood communication networks and have begun to research following other Bay Area cities' leads by installing surveillance cameras on heavily trafficked roads throughout Orinda.
Part deterrent and part crime-fighting tool, the cameras would take photographs of each passing vehicle and its license plate. Initial estimates put the cost between $3,750 and $5,700 per unit, and a community meeting is scheduled for July 28 to discuss the idea.
But despite public perception, statistics provided by the Sheriff's Department show residential burglaries in Orinda have decreased in recent months.
The city recorded 11 such crimes in June 2013, compared with just five in June 2014.
And in the final six months of 2013, 39 burglaries were reported; in the first six months of 2014, there were 21.
Orinda Police Chief Mark Nagel said he believes what is different is increased communication and awareness among residents, as well as a new push by law enforcement to get the word out about crimes in real-time, using social media tools.
Residents are now encouraged to stay in touch with neighbors via Nextdoor.com, receive real-time crime alerts from Nixle.com, and email in tips directly to the police department.
That's a big shift from the old weekly crime blotter, said Nagel, who took over as the city's top cop in February.
"I'm putting out there what we're doing, what we're seeing, almost as it's happening, which is new for Orinda," he said.
Walnut Creek and Lamorinda residents interested in holding National Night Out events in their neighborhoods should contact their local police departments for more information.

K&N 63 Series Air Intake Kits (AirCharger''s) are a sister product to 57 Series FIPK''s. They enjoy a faster speed to market than K&N 57 Series kits due to their pending CARB status. These intakes are built for many different vehicles and represent a dramatic improvement over a K&N O/E replacement filter alone; they use only non-metallic rotationally molded tubes that can reduce intake air temperature and decrease intake sound over a metal tube. Restriction can exist BETWEEN an air filter and the engine reducing the benefit of a K&N Air Filter. The weakest link in the airflow chain robs a vehicle of its natural horsepower. Often that weak point is the factory air path leading to the Engine. K&N Air Intake Kits virtually eliminate air path restriction by replacing the air filter and the entire air path to the engine. The aerodynamically engineered tube drives a massive amount of air into an engine, which translates into POWER.
K&N 63 Series kits are truly state-of-the-art. We start with the largest conical shaped High-Flow air filter we can fit into the engine compartment while using factory holes and mounting points. This extra filter size provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard K&N O/E replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures and holds more dirt increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles). The filter is isolated from high engine temperature by a heat shield designed to lower the temperature of the air entering the engine, which increases horsepower. Next we attach the filter to a rotationally molded tube made from interlaced High Density Polyethylene. This process allows us to precisely shape the tube to reduce turbulence and accelerate airflow into the engine. This is why some of K&N tubes have unique shapes or indentations that are specifically engineered for each application. Finally the tube is connected to the engine with adapters made from high strength materials such as silicon and reinforced nylon and ensures long life. Put all this together and you have the best high-flow intake system available today.
Calif CARB notice: Some Typhoon Air Intakes are not legal for use in California and other states adopting California emission standards while others are CARB exempt and 50 state legal. Check the K&N catalog or website vehicle parts search for specific CARB status. 63 Series Intakes (AirChargers) are street legal in most states. They are not legal for use in California and other states adopting California emission standards. Please verify Calif. CARB status with the KN website or by calling them direct on all air kits.
Please review these fitments below to confirm fitment for your vehicle:
History and information about K&N Filter and their products.
GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAR OR TRUCK Most people are aware that our High-Flow Air Filter can increase horsepower over a traditional disposable air filter. An air filter change alone however, cannot eliminate other types of air restriction built into the vehicle at the factory. These can be found in the size of the air box and the air path running from the air box to the engine. That's where air intakes rule the road. They completely replace the factory airflow assembly including the filter, air box and air path. More and more people are discovering the monster power available from a well-engineered air intake and we sell over 200,000 air intakes every year, so go ahead and wake the sleeping giant in your car.
GUARANTEED HORSEPOWER We will not sell an air intake that does not provide a measured increase in horsepower and torque (acceleration). Our air intakes are proven to increase horsepower and torque on a rear-wheel dynamometer (think treadmill for cars). These thoroughly engineered air intakes provide huge increases in power that a customer will definitely feel when they accelerate.
Product lines include: K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kits, FIPK, K&N 77 Series High Flow Air Intakes, K&N Typhoon Air Intake Systems, K&N AirCharger, K&N 57i Air Induction Kits, and Stock Replacement Air Filters.

Money provided to clean French Broad River logjam
Published: Friday, February 17, 2012 at 10:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 17, 2012 at 10:09 a.m.
BREVARD, N.C. (AP) — Transylvania County commissioners have approved money to remove debris clogging the French Broad River.
Commissioners agreed to provide $12,000 for the project.
The work is expected to be completed in May.
Bob Twomey with the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service says the channel cut by the river around the debris near the county airport is more than twice its normal width of 100 feet.
The logjam formed more than a year ago when large hardwood trees fell across the river near Penrose.
It's more than 100 feet thick and about 25 feet high. Twomey says it's one the largest jams he's ever seen.
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources agreed in December to provide $25,000 for the removal effort.

3.1-1 Accessories and Accomplices -- § 53a-8 (a)
Revised to November 1, 2008 (modified November 6, 2014)
NOTE: This statute does not define a separate crime, but a separate theory of liability. It should be included in the instruction defining the substantive offense, following the elements of that offense. If the state presents alternative theories of vicarious liability, the jury must be unanimous. See Introduction to Vicarious Liability.
When the defendant is charged only as an accessory, the court, in explaining the elements of the underlying crime, should refer to the fact that the underlying crime was committed by the principal offender rather than the defendant.
A person is criminally liable for a criminal act if (he/she) directly commits it or if (he/she) is an accessory in the criminal act of another. The statute defining accessorial liability reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person, acting with the mental state required for commission of an offense, who solicits, requests, commands, importunes or intentionally aids another person to engage in conduct which constitutes an offense shall be criminally liable for such conduct and may be prosecuted and punished as if (he/she) were the principal offender.
This statute does not connect those five acts specified with the word "and" but separates them by the word "or." A person is an accessory if (he/she) solicits or requests or commands or importunes or intentionally aids another person to engage in conduct that constitutes an offense. "Solicit" means to tempt or to entice someone to do wrong; "importune" means to demand or urge; "aid" means to assist, help or support. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. "Intentionally aid," therefore, means to act in any manner, the conscious objective of which is to assist, help or support. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
If the defendant did any of these things as specified in the statute, (he/she) is guilty of <insert substantive crime> as though (he/she) had directly committed it or participated in its commission. To establish the guilt of a defendant as an accessory for assisting in the criminal act of another, the state must prove criminality of intent and community of unlawful purpose.1 That is, for the defendant to be guilty as an accessory, it must be established that (he/she) acted with the mental state necessary to commit <insert substantive crime>, and that in furtherance of that crime, (he/she) solicited, requested, commanded, importuned or intentionally aided the principal to commit <insert substantive crime>.
Evidence of mere presence as an inactive companion, or passive acquiescence, or the doing of innocent acts which, in fact, aid in the commission of a crime, is insufficient to find the defendant guilty as an accessory under the statute. Nevertheless, it is not necessary to prove that the defendant was actually present or actively participated in the actual commission of the crime of <insert substantive crime>.
[<If charged only as an accessory:> The rule is that a person who solicits, requests, commands, importunes or intentionally aids in the commission of a crime is guilty of that very crime. Thus, for you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, you must unanimously find that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant assisted another to commit the crime of <insert substantive crime>. You must also unanimously find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had the intent to commit the crime charged and did solicit, request, command, importune or intentionally aid another in the commission of the crime of <insert charged crime>.]
[<If charged as either an accessory or principal:> For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, you must unanimously find that the state has proved all the elements of <insert substantive crime> beyond a reasonable doubt. If you conclude that the defendant is guilty as a principal or as an accessory, you do not need to be unanimous regarding whether you believe (he/she) was a principal or accessory as long as all (six / twelve) jurors agree that at least one method (i.e., principal or accessory) has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.]
<If also charged under a theory of Pinkerton liability, see Vicarious Liability under Pinkerton, Instruction 3.1-3.>
1 Do not include language suggestive of theories of criminal enterprise or conspiracy because it may mislead the jury that it could find the defendant guilty as an accessory without the requisite intent. State v. Lopez, 280 Conn. 779, 820-23 (2007); State v. Diaz, 237 Conn. 518, 534-41 (1996).
"Under the modern accessory statute, there is no such crime as being an accessory. . . . The accessory statute merely provides alternate means by which a substantive crime may be committed." State v. Montanez, 277 Conn. 735, 755-56 (2006); State v. Gamble, 27 Conn. App. 1, 9, cert. denied, 222 Conn. 901 (1992). A person may be charged as an accessory even if the principal is not charged or is acquitted of the same crime. State v. Santiago, 275 Conn. 192, 204 (2005); State v. Paredes, 35 Conn. App. 360, 369-74, cert. denied, 231 Conn. 925 (1994).
To solicit, request, command, importune or intentionally aid "requires only an asking or insistence that an act be done." State v. Harris, 32 Conn. App. 831, 841 (1993), appeal dismissed, 230 Conn. 347 (1994). Although the accused must be more than a mere inactive companion, "passive behaviors engaged in with the intent to facilitate the commission of a crime are sufficient to support a finding of accessory liability." State v. Conde, 67 Conn. App. 474, 486 (2001), cert. denied, 259 Conn. 927 (2002).
Instructing the jury on accessorial liability is proper when there is evidence that more than one person shot at the victim, but it cannot be concluded which of the shots was fatal. State v. Fruean, 63 Conn. App. 466, 472-73, cert. denied, 257 Conn. 908 (2001); State v. Bagley, 35 Conn. App. 138, 142-43, cert. denied, 231 Conn. 913 (1994). In State v. Delgado, 247 Conn. 616, 627 (1999), the Supreme Court approved a supplemental instruction that read: "Where it cannot be determined who fired the fatal shot, beyond a reasonable doubt, the element of murder as to who caused the death has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt. However, persons acting with the mental state required for commission of murder, who intentionally aid one another to engage in . . . such conduct, and cause the death, are accessories to one another, and would be criminally liable for such conduct as accessories to murder."
Mental state
A conviction under § 53a-8 requires proof of a dual intent: the intent to aid the principal and the intent to commit the offense. State v. Santiago, supra, 275 Conn. 199 n.13; State v. Garner, 270 Conn. 458, 475 (2004); State v. Foster, 202 Conn. 520, 525-26 (1987). "Mere presence as an inactive companion, passive acquiescence, or the doing of innocent acts which may in fact aid the one who commits the crime must be distinguished from the criminal intent and community of unlawful purpose shared by one who knowingly and willfully assists the perpetrator of the offense in the acts which prepare for, facilitate or consummate it." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Id., 531. "[A]bsent evidence of prearrangement, mutual understanding, or concerted action, a defendant cannot be held liable as an accessory unless he encourages the principal by some overt act or oral expression to commit the crime charged. . . . [T]he accused cannot be convicted of the independent crime of a confederate not committed in the execution of a common design, even if the defendant is involved in some other criminal activity." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v Gonzalez, 311 Conn. 408, 418-19 (2014).
The Connecticut Supreme Court has not adopted, or expressly rejected, the portion of the Model Penal Code that allows an accessory to be convicted of a different offense or degree of offense than the principal if the accessory had a different mental state. State v. Floyd, 253 Conn. 700, 722-23 (2000).
The doctrine of transferred intent applies to accomplice liability for murder. State v. Henry, 253 Conn. 354, 363 (2000).
Because the state must prove, under a theory of accessorial liability pursuant to § 53a-8 (a), that the defendant had the same intent to commit the crime as the principal and intentionally acted in furtherance of the crime, there is no requirement that the jury be unanimous as to principal or accessory. State v. Correa, 241 Conn. 322, 398 (1997).
Use of a firearm
Under the terms of the statute, the accessory is prosecuted and punished "as if he were the principal." Accordingly, once convicted of a felony committed with a firearm, the accessory may be subject to the enhanced sentence under § 53-202k, even though only the principal actually used the firearm. State v. Davis, 255 Conn. 782, 787-93 (2001). In addition, crimes that have the use of a firearm as an aggravating factor do not require that the accessory have the intent that the principal use a firearm. State v. Gonzalez, 300 Conn. 490, 503-509 (2011).
If also charged with conspiracy
A defendant may be convicted of conspiracy to commit a crime and the commission of that crime as a principal or accessory. State v. Green, 81 Conn App. 152, 158, cert. denied, 268 Conn. 909 (2004) (defendant convicted of sale of narcotics as an accessory and conspiracy to sell narcotics); State v. Soto, 59 Conn. App. 500, 503-505, cert. denied, 254 Conn. 950 (2000) (not inconsistent for defendant to be convicted of murder as accessory and acquitted of conspiracy).
If charged as
a principal only
"[D]ue process considerations preclude a court from instructing a jury that it may convict a defendant under a theory of accessorial liability in certain circumstances. Inherent in the constitutional mandate that a defendant be advised of the 'nature and cause' of the accusations against him is that the defendant be on notice of the nature of the state's prosecution. The state cannot present its case on the theory of principal liability and then, without providing notice to the defendant, seek near the conclusion of the trial to convict the defendant under a theory of accessorial liability." State v. Vasquez, 68 Conn. App. 194, 215 (2002); see also State v. Correa, 241 Conn. 322, 340-45 (1997) (state presented sufficient evidence to establish accessorial liability); State v. Steve, 208 Conn. 38 (1988) (defense prejudiced when the bill of particulars alleged that the defendant was the principal and the state presented no evidence that could support accessorial liability); State v. Hines, 89 Conn. App. 440, cert. denied, 275 Conn. 904 (2005) (evidence presented provided defendant sufficient notice that state would seek conviction as an accessory).
See Renunciation of Criminal Purpose (Accessory), Instruction 3.1-2.
Since the commission of a crime is
an essential condition precedent to the imposition of accessorial liability for
that crime, if the actions of the principal are found to be justified, then no
crime has been committed by either party. Hence, if a justification defense is
available to the principal, the accessory can also assert it. State v.
Montanez, 277 Conn. 735, 751-63 (2006).

I am actually not big on futuristic scenarios unless they flip it in some weird way. Part of why I lke stuff like Bioshock so much is the throwback timeframes.
If it's not an expansion, why is it still called Far Cry 3? haha. Also, I think this like... doesn't look 80s. It looks like someone who was bork in 1993's idea of what 80s looks like. Just weird to me.

It strikes me as weird. I enjoyed playing the game, but I literally loathed every character in far cry 3, from the good guys to the bad guys. The whole story was a clusterfuck of stupid and I hated everyone.
This is unrelated, but i discovered one night if you accidentyally made some villager run over the Rykyat guys or wahtever, they would just start killing every fucking villager they could find, indiscriminately killing old unarmed women and shit. It was actually fairly unsettling, but I just followed them as they did it for like 30 minutes one night before reloading my save.

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon looks like it could be really sweet. I'm really looking forward to playing the console game, so I may delve into this if I get bored. So stoked to return to my 360 on Wednesday!
And I've never played Bioshock 1 or 2 with the objective markers turned off. Why bother? I explore everything anyway for the hidden goodies and tape recorders. Getting a little help as to where I should be going doesn't ruin the immersion of the experience for me.

I'm letting my 360 live subscription expire. I have all these games on Steam, I got them cheaper, they look better and I can mod them. The only console i'm even really interested in at this point is a Wii-U, just for the nintendo exclusive titles (mario, zelda, etc.)
Me and Laura are both completists, so we explore the maps so thoroughly... I don't think we did it without the arrows unless there was an achievement for it.

I finished BioShock: Infinite. First playthrough, hard difficulty. Missing some of the hidden stuff, didn't get 100% of the tourist attractions or vox recorders, etc. Still have 1999 mode left to try. Not sure I'll bother.
Some initial thoughts:
1. The story connects several essentially unrelated Big Ideas. Since the main reason to play the game is to be exposed to the story I don't want to talk much about it. But there's a political/class conflict similar to what we saw in the first two games, a metaphysical thread which sits orthogonal to the game's primary conflict, and a protagonist/narrator whose identity and role in the story are initially concealed from the audience.
2. The
unfolds in a way that's quite similar to the first two games--intentionally so. Exploration in a series of fairly linear levels which allow for controlled exploration and limited backtracking, with most of the plot revealed through the art which decorates the level and through exposition from voice recordings collected by the protagonist as he explores. The protagonist has one friend who talks to him and follows his progress; in the first games this was a voice talking over the radio, where in this game it's a person who meets you during your travels.
3. The gameplay is incrementally expanded. The Little Sisters dynamic is replaced with a more singular in-game economy but ultimately you're still walking around through half-wrecked urban settings rummaging through people's shit and buying game-altering enhancements and ammunition from vending machines, while your progress is contested by aggressive robots, monsters, and psychopaths with guns, blunt instruments, and the occasional magical power. You still get some magic of your own. Enemy AI is essentially the same, but the combat still _feels_ different because you have an ally who aids you during the game, and the exploration is somewhat expanded through the introduction of a zipline-like mechanic. The zipline mechanic itself would have been way cooler in a truly open world, and I would love to see a Fallout-sized massive single-player world incorporate something like it.
Incremental improvement, basically--except in the ambition of the story, which is significantly more textured than anything we've seen in the past. A lot of it feels like it may have started out as an unrelated game that got bolted into the BioShock franchise the same way the same way Lords of Shadow's dark/light mechanic got bolted on to Castlevania.
I'm glad I bought the game but given that the DLC isn't due to finish coming out until next year and new consoles might arrive first, I'm not sure I'll ever revisit it. I hope Irrational makes a lot of money on this and uses it to make a lot more of these, but ultimately I think this is a week of my life and done.
My current game backlog is Gears of War: Judgment and Dead Island: Riptide, but I'm debating going back to Skyrim before tackling either one of them. My next preorder is Metro: Last Light.
I'm considering purchasing Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen and Star Trek, but I need to see detailed reviews of each before I decide. The pushed back release date on Lost Planet 3 makes me glad I didn't pre-order it, and I'll be looking for reviews on that one before buying as well.
I'm also eyeballing Remember Me and I'm really excited about State of Decay.

Zimmerman's brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr., says his family is relieved that the jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter. He tweeted: "Today ... I'm proud to be an American."
Martin's parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, were reserved but expressed their disappointment. Fulton expressed her faith in God, saying "Lord during my darkest hour I lean on you." Tracy Martin tweeted that he was broken-hearted, but that his faith is "unshattered."
The teen's brother, Jahvaris Fulton, said simply: "Et tu America?"—a reference to the Latin phrase "Et tu, Brute?" known as an expression of betrayal.

An aunt of missing Nelson County teenager Alexis Murphy says her family goes to bed every night hoping there will be a new break in the case, and that Alexis will be back home with her family.
Trina Murphy says Randy Taylor is trying to make people feel that Alexis is not a victim, but she is. She says Alexis was not perfect and that no child is, but Taylor had no right interacting or talking to a girl as young as Alexis. Taylor has been charged with abduction in connection to the disappearance of Alexis Murphy. She was last seen August 3. CLICK HERE to see the story about the comments from Taylor's lawyer, Randy Taylor.
When asked about the bond hearing, Trina Murphy hopes for the sake of the community that a judge will not give him bond. Taylor is scheduled for a bond hearing at 1 p.m. August 22.
Trina Murphy says the Samantha Clarke case and Alexis' case are too similar and that it seems like these young girls keep disappearing around Taylor -- and that's not a coincidence.
Trina Murphy considers Taylor a predator and feels like he was following Alexis for a long time. She knows that Alexis would have never put herself in a situation with two older men.
The Murphys are selling T-shirts with Alexis' face on them. All the proceeds go to her mom and dad. They are currently not working and need help paying the bills. CLICK HERE to see a picture of the t-shirt.
Alexis Murphy told Trina Murphy that she was going to Lynchburg to buy hair extensions for the new school year on the day that she went missing.

More than £110 million of new funding is to be made available to small businesses over the coming years thanks to a new lending initiative announced by the business secretary, Vince Cable.
Cable has pledged £55 million of Government funding to peer-to-peer lenders and other finance suppliers through the Business Finance Partnership scheme. In addition, match-funding by the private sector is expected to add at least another £55 million.
The first four successful bidders for the Business Finance Partnership funds are Funding Circle, Zopa, Credit Asset Management Limited and BOOST&Co.
£30 million has been pledged to two peer-to-peer lenders — Funding Circle will receive £20 million and Zopa will receive £10 million. New fund management company BOOST&Co will receive £20 million to provide loans to SMEs of £1 million to £8 million. And Credit Asset Management Limited will receive £5 million to provide asset finance and professions loans.
Vince Cable said: "These new forms of finance are still small in scale today but they should, over time, bring additional choice and greater competition to the lending market."
Paul Aitken, CEO of borro, described the initiative as "a great endorsement for the [peer-to-peer] sector… it acknowledges the role that alternative lending is playing and will continue to play in the wider economy. It's about time that alternative lending is recognised as providing a much-needed route for finance."
John Walker, national chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), said: "This not only helps peer-to-peer lenders increase their scale and attract more investors, but also become known challengers to the banks. We now urge the Government to look at how the Business Bank and forthcoming regulations from the Financial Conduct Authority, when it replaces the FSA, can further imbed peer-to-peer lenders into the credit landscape."
Vince Cable added: "Today's funding announcement is just the type of help that the new Business Bank will offer. The bank, which will be operational by 2014, is being designed to tackle these long-standing, structural gaps in the supply of finance for SMEs."
The Business Finance Partnership is a £100 million fund. The Government will announce the allocation of the remaining £45 million in 2013 once due diligence is completed on the remaining bids.

Wahl 09916-1024 Beard Rechargeable TrimmerVery new purchase and still to be seen how long term performance stacks up, previously have had 2x Wahl trimmers one lasted 4 years before dying (standard battery model) and was ok but not the most efficient trimmer, 2nd was a similar rechargeable model purchased in the US, which unfortunately died not long after purchase. Hence this purchase - We wait to see how it continues to work post several recharges.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Giants signed Michael Morse to add a little pop to a lineup that sorely needs it. With Barry Bonds now set to arrive in camp next month, it seems obvious that Morse would seek out a few tips about blasting balls through the wind and fog at AT&T Park.
The new left fielder has other ideas.
"People forget because they always talk about his hitting, but he used to be a tremendous outfielder," Morse said Sunday. "The guy knew the outfield at AT&T Park like the back of his hand. I can't wait to pick his brain."
On Twitter, Morse retweeted a story about Bonds' return to the organization and added "Wohooooo," later saying the experience is going to be "awesome, just awesome." He wasn't the only Giant eager to learn from one of the best hitters in major league history.
Even Buster Posey, who won the Giants' first MVP award since Bonds' career ended, said there are things he can pick up. Posey has already asked Bonds' former teammates and coaches about what he can expect.
"Everyone talks about him having a simple approach," Posey said. "Everyone can take something from that. We tend to complicate things."
Bonds' arrival, scheduled for the second week of March, will certainly be complex. The 49-year-old is less than a year removed from losing his appeal in a federal perjury case and recently served a month of home confinement, and the Giants are already preparing for a potential media circus. Inside the clubhouse, however, the current Giants aren't worried.
"I haven't even thought about that," Posey said, echoing several of his teammates.
Manager Bruce Bochy and CEO and president Larry Baer have said they don't have concerns about Bonds showing up as a special instructor. Those who will work with Bonds can't wait for the opportunity, with several players asking a reporter Sunday if they knew exactly when Bonds would show up.
Bonds has not been connected to the Giants in an official capacity since 2007, his final season, but he hasn't been a total ghost. Members of the 2011 draft class remember Bonds joining Willie Mays, Shawon Dunston and others at a conditioning camp at AT&T Park that year.
Catching prospect Andrew Susac smiled when recounting how Bonds talked about his preparation for fastballs, especially late in his career. Pitcher Kyle Crick, the organization's top prospect, remembers Bonds preaching the importance of focusing on your weaknesses, not your strengths. Bonds told the collection of about 20 teenagers and recent college athletes that he preferred facing left-handed batting practice pitchers because they gave him more trouble.
For Susac, one of the few current Giants who grew up in Northern California, the news that Bonds will show up held special meaning. Susac's father used to take him to Candlestick Park to watch Giants teams built around Bonds. Susac said he had trouble focusing at times when Bonds spoke to the 2011 draft class.
"You almost get stuck looking at him and miss some of his words," Susac said, laughing. "You're just like, 'That's Barry Bonds.' You're acknowledging the fact that he's sitting right there."
Players hadn't been informed of any official plans Sunday, but several said they hope to be able to get one-on-one coaching. That is, if they can muster the nerve to ask for it.
"Oh yeah, I'll be a little nervous to go up to him," first baseman Brandon Belt said. "When hitting coaches talk about proper mechanics, they use him as an example, so I'm going to have to build some courage to say something."
Second baseman Marco Scutaro did some work on a back field but still remains about a week away from joining team workouts, Bochy said.

Here's a 12 minute sample of one of our latest video tutorials at Joomlashack University called "Automating daily site backups with Akeeba Backup Pro."
Akeeba Backup is one of the most popular and most helpful extensions for Joomla that there is.
With Akeeba Backup Pro, the paid version, you can make it even more useful by setting it up to automatically make daily backups of your site and have those backup files sent to a server of your choice, such as an Amazon S3 or Rackspace Cloudfiles account.
In this video lesson, you'll see how to set up a Cloudfile account and how to configure Akeeba Backup Pro to automatically send it's daily backup files to the Cloudfile account.
One of the many cool things about working for an online company, like Joomlashack, is that you can log in and work from the comfort of your own home. We all get to see our families a bit more each day; can work in our PJs all day if we want; and never, ever have to worry about long commutes to work. It's a pretty sweet deal.
Our team is spread out all over the world, so working out of one central office would be a bit difficult at the moment. And that's why Skype has been such a godsend to us. It's allowed our team to stay connected to each other despite us all being in multiple timezones.
You'll LOVE how our latest template will make your site stand out with its feel-good colors & design
E*lat*ed - [ih-ley-tid] - adjective
very happy or proud; jubilant; in high spirits

This week, we're proud to announce our latest template, JS Enterprise: A Joomla 1.5/1.6 template built for business
These days, your online 'brand' is everything--whether that brand is you, your blog or your business. First impressions last, and so you only have a few seconds to win over a new visitor that comes to your site.
Now, a great-looking website is just one part of brand-building (history, good deeds, great products, awesome customer service,distinctive colors, cool logo/typography, etc also play a part in brand-building), but if your website is cluttered and unprofessional, your company's good reputation, engaging content, and awesome products won't matter much to new visitors as they'll never stick around long enough to learn more about you and your brand.
Our JS Enterprise Joomla template will help you build your online brand and give your site a clean, corporate & professional look that will make your customers feel good about visiting (and buying from) your site over and over again.
Last month, we released a beautiful dark template called ONYX. Due to overwhelming response, we've just released an updated version of ONYX called Onyx Business Edition. Onyx Business Edition contains last month's dark version PLUS four brand-new light color variations & styles! It's perfect for businesses and blogs alike that need a lighter, more conservative look.
This week we're excited to announce the release of our latest Joomlashack template called Phenom!
Phenom was designed to give you maximum customization options with minimal CSS editing. In fact, you won't even have to open the css file at all to customize this beauty.
Phenom comes with 8 cool preset color schemes to get you started and over 24 style parameters can be easily edited right from the Phenom template parameters page in your Joomla backend--such as font colors, link colors, page columns, logo options, backgrounds and many more.
This is one 'phenomenally' easy template to customize!
Phenom also comes loaded with 4 built-in module & typography styles, 12 stackable/collapsible module positions, AND bonus styles for the new Shackslides module by Joomlashack!
* And if you purchase Phenom from now until Monday December 27, 2010, we'll send you a FREE $20 Gift Coupon by email--good for $20-off your next Joomlashack purchase in January!
A funny short blog from last year. - Eddie.
Merry Christmas to all.
Newsflash: Independent investigations have revealed what everyone really wants this Christmas, and it's not an iPad, again. It's a Joomla Template. "It's the perfect gift - - it's even better than a Snuggie" one man said. A Joomla template is always the perfect size, it's the right color, it will fit in any stocking, there's no express-overnight shipping charges, and a Joomla template can be bought in your PJ's at home without having to bathe, dress, and drive yourself in the snow to a congested mall. Indeed, a Joomla Template and specifically a Joomlashack Joomla Template is the perfect gift for all your loved ones this Christmas.
This blog started out as a quick joke meant to lighten up your day, but then I asked my kids aged 11 and 9 how they would feel if Christmas morning they got a template for a present? I half expected to get the same eye rolling I get when I threaten to bring them coal if they don't behave. I totally did not expect the response I got: "A website template? As in… our very own websites? You mean… we could get our very own websites and fill them with whatever we like?" I am not sure if the prospect of a motorbike or a pony could have obtained the same excitement. They have already started making lists of all the toys, music, movie, and book reviews they will include as well as pictures of all their wonderful creations like drawings, paintings, comic strips, and Lego spaceships.
Am I on to something here?
Just in time for our BIG 25% OFF Sale, we bring you our latest Dark template, ONYX.
Onyx comes with a bundle of extras such as a super-slick featured slider module, eye-popping typography, and several module styles to help you add beautiful accents to your content.
We're thrilled to have been selected as one of the "15 Market Leaders of Premium WordPress, Joomla and Drupal Themes" by Speckyboy Design Magazine this week. There are dozens and dozens of template & theme providers out there for Wordpress, Drupal & Joomla, so to be singled out as one of the leaders in this space by an influential design mag/blog such as Speckyboy, is a great honor.
Here's what they said:
"Below is a list of 15 players in the theming industry that I personally can vouch for as they offer unique products and services. Basically there are three types of businesses that offer ready made CMS themes. Either you buy single themes on markets or from shops, or you can join a theme club and get full access to all designs on offer. Then if you need some grade of customization you will contact a web studio or a freelance developer to get your design tailored to your needs."
This week, we're excited to announce the release of our latest Joomlashack template called Reserva!
Reserva was designed for small businesses and individuals who not only want a stylish & sophisticated looking website, but want to give their visitors the ability to reserve rooms (hotels, motels, etc), reserve rental properties, book consulting time (financial planners, consultants, etc), book live performances (bands, comedians, etc)--or even make salon appointments directly from their website!
Imagine how Reserva could make your website work for you.

The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the throat (pharynx) with the stomach. The esophagus is about 8 inches long, and is lined by moist pink tissue called mucosa. The esophagus runs behind the windpipe (trachea) and heart, and in front of the spine. Just before entering the stomach, the esophagus passes through the diaphragm.
The upper esophageal sphincter (UES) is a bundle of muscles at the top of the esophagus. The muscles of the UES are under conscious control, used when breathing, eating, belching, and vomiting. They keep food and secretions from going down the windpipe.
The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a bundle of muscles at the low end of the esophagus, where it meets the stomach. When the LES is closed, it prevents acid and stomach contents from traveling backwards from the stomach. The LES muscles are not under voluntary control.

PABLO, MONTANA 58855 ISSN: 0528-8592 j Volumell Number 22 BUTTERCUP MONTH April 1, 1983 Shoreline board extends comment period, releases fee schedule asked that a permit be received for each. The same holds true for existing structures. Structures larger than what's required "in aid of navigation", both new and existing ones, will have their excess assessed "10 cents per square foot of measurable surface area" annually. Applications and questions about the Tribal ordinance and regulations may be sent to: Shoreline Protection Board -- CSKT, Box 278, Pablo, MT 59855. Two Eagle is on priority list Two Eagle River School in Dixon is listed third on the BIA's construction priority list for new facilities. Director-principal Clarice Beaumont told an awards banquet audience March 21 that the plans call for buildings to accomodate 200 students to be completed in two years. No location was disclosed. A BIA publication said the revised priority is being published in the Federal Register. Ahead of TERS are schools in South Dakota and Arizona Fourth on the list is the Rocky Boys Reservation, followed by schools in Idaho, Washington and Wisconsin. PUBLIC NOTICE The Low-income Energy Assistance Program will not accept any applications for energy assistance after April 29,1983, and cannot pay for any fuel delivered after April 30,1983. Public review of the Tribes' proposed shoreline protection regulations was extended three weeks to last Friday. Coordinator Jim Steele said a few comments had been received before the new deadline was announced and most were positive. Among the negative responses was concern about the Tribes' power to deny permits and "levy a tax", the initial short review period, and the lack of a fee schedule in the document copies distributed around the valley. The fee schedule has since been voted on by the Shoreline Protection Board Included in those provisions are a $25 filing fee to accompany applications for permission to build a new structure, and a $50 annual mooring fee. The board waived all fee requirements for public docks, but Lodgepole plan unveiled The forestry branch of the BIA has completed a proposed plan for the management of the Reservation's lodgepole. Copies of the plan are available today for public review at three locations: the BIA offices in Pablo, the SKC center in Elmo, and the Salish Indian Seniors Center in Arlee. Once the plan has been circulated, Forestry will conduct a series of meetings to discuss the plan with the Reservation public. The meetings will be held at the locations above, beginning at 7 p. m Dates are: Monday, April 18: Pablo (BIA conference room in the Annex, downstairs) Tuesday, April 19: Elmo (SKC center) Wednesday, April 20: Arlee (S.I.S.C.)

Comments about oreilly A Web for Everyone:
This is an introductory guide to new-in-the-block web designers and user experience professionals. It is written following the principles the authors reccomend: to the point, easy to understand and very clear.It covers the essential aspects to consider when designing a professional website or product.These principles have changed a little from 2013, when the bnook was finished, but the essence is the same.This is not a hands-on book, it is a primer guide and does the job very well.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bledsoe has been falling on his face as a starter for the Clips. 2-4 record so far including a blowout loss to the lowly Raptors tonight. Quite a difference having to play against starters and being the focus of the opponent's scouting. They would likely not trade him anyway with Paul hurt, but come off season this was a nice little sneak peak that might have saved the Jazz from making a drastic mistake.
Carl Landry making 4 mill.. that was a great signing for GS
"I'm a moron for thinking the Browns could even sniff 10 wins in a division where the other three teams (two of whom almost always make the playoffs) made the post-season last year. Gyp Rosetti's thee God of football knowledge." - Brown Notes
Here's an article by Marc Stein. I'd say enjoy, but you won't when you here what he says about Utah making a trade.
Hey Brown, been meaning to ask ya. What is that avatar picture of?
mods can we lock and delte this thread lets face it there wont be a trade and if there is a trade favors and or kanter will be traded
Trade based off that article to get Reddick.
Burks + Foye + GSW Pick for Reddick.
Magic get the young player they want and they get back a 3pt specialist to replace Reddick.
Jazz get Reddick, who is like a rich-man's Foye. They also get to reinforce racial stereotypes so more people can make fun of how white Utah is.
That's way too much to give for Reddick.
Foye is just as good for a third the price.
No way Jazz should do this.

Intercell in €25m finance deal with BB Biotech
09.05.2012 - Austrian biotech company Intercell AG has signed a €25m financing deal with Swiss investor BB BiotechAG.
Vienna – The vaccine maker also said it is in talks with other investors concerning a private stock placement that could total €15m. The investment, through a fully owned subsidiary of BB Biotech AG, consists of a €20m secured loan and a commitment to invest €5m as part of a proposed private share placement. Intercell's CEO, Thomas Lingelbach, stated: "Following the successful strategic resetting in 2011, this financing marks an important step in the renewal of Intercell as a notable biotech vaccine company. With growing sales from our first product on the market, a diversified pipeline and technology base and a disciplined financial strategy, we are now very well positioned for the next development phase of our company."
Intercell is trying to get back on track after several product setbacks sparked worries about its pipeline prospects. After a setback in the development of a traveller's diarrhoea vaccine last year, the new focus of the company is on vaccines preventing nosocomial infections. The secured six-year loan carries a variable interest rate. Intercell will pay BB Biotech royalties on sales revenues from its product Ixiaro, a vaccine for Japanese encephalitis. The €5m equity investment will see BB Biotech subscribe for nearly 2 million Intercell shares for about 2.55 € per share as part of the private placement. According to Intercell, existing shareholders will not get subscription rights for the placementhttp://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/intercell-in-eur25m-finance-deal-with-bb-biotech.html

Japanese Vehicles Dominate Consumer Reports' Top-Picks List
Consumer Reports, a magazine known for putting cars and other products through rigorous testing, released its top vehicles in 10 categories and best car brands for 2013.
To become a top pick a vehicle has to be among the best performers in road testing and have an average-or-better predicted-reliability rating, which is based on problems Consumer Reports subscribers reported on 1.2 million vehicles in the magazine's latest annual auto survey.
Top picks also have to perform adequately if tested in government or insurance industry crash testing
One big winner is Honda, which made the list with its Accord sedan, CR-V compact SUV and Odyssey van after having no vehicles make the cut last year BMW returned to the top ranks with the 328i sedan after a 10-year absence, and Audi returned after 13 years with the A6 sedan. The Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twin sports cars are new to the list and the Hyundai Elantra returns after a one-year absence.
Consumer reports said it didn't chose a top pickup truck because it hasn't yet tested revamped full-size models from General Motors and Chrysler Group LLC.

If you slow down and pay close attention, every stitch can tell a great story. I explored this idea in my book The Yarn Whisperer, and it's what inspires a series of booklets being published by Donna Druchunas and Ava Coleman.
They're called Stories in Stitches, and they contain an engaging blend of travel, history, projects, and storytelling that makes for perfect summer reading.

FREMONT -- To Ajay Bhutoria, the free festivities he has planned this weekend in honor of India's past is also a celebration of the United States' future.
The Fremont businessman says he founded the city's India Republic Day Celebration eight years ago to help his son connect with both his family history in South Asia and the culture of the United States, the Bhutoria family's home.
"Indian American kids should connect for at least one day with their culture," he said. "Knowing the values and history of the country from which their parents come is a way to build their own identity and culture, as part of the great diverse culture of America."
India Republic Day celebrates the date India's constitution took effect Jan. 26, 1950, completing the nation's transition from British rule to an independent republic.
The Fremont event will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Performance Pavilion in Central Park, 40204 Paseo Padre Parkway. It will feature performances of Indian folk dances and Bollywood film songs and children competing in painting, singing, dance, music and public speaking.
Everything -- admission, parking, snacks, contest entries and entertainment -- will be free, Bhutoria said.
"People from all walks of life are welcome to celebrate together," he said.
Last year, more than 300 children entered the competitions, and about 500 people attended the annual festivities. Those numbers are likely to climb in a city where nearly 40,000 residents are Indian-American -- about 20 percent of Fremont's population.
A second East Bay celebration of India Republic Day will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday in Hayward. Those festivities, sponsored by the Federation of Indo-Americans of Northern California, will be held at Chabot College Performing Arts Center, 25555 Hesperian Blvd.
On one level, the entire day's activities are a way to get children involved in the community, said Yogi Chugh, an Indian American member of the Fremont Planning Commission.
"But in the bigger scheme, it is a celebration of democracy," Chugh said. "India is the world's largest democracy, and the U.S. is one of its oldest democracies. This is the day India transformed itself and chose to become a republic, and we here who live in America want to celebrate that."
Contact Chris De Benedetti at 510-353-7011. Follow him at Twitter.com/cdebenedetti.
WHAT: India Republic Day Celebration
WHEN: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Performance Pavilion, Central Park, 40204 Paseo Padre Parkway, Fremont

White House to 'Make Sure' Syria Gives Up Chemical Arms
The White House said Sunday it would "make sure" the Syrian regime complies with an accord to give up its chemical arsenal, insisting the deal can still be salvaged despite implementation delays and missed deadlines.
"It's not falling apart, but we would like to see it proceed much more quickly than it is," White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough told CBS's "Face the Nation."
Mr. McDonough said the U.S. isn't dependent on Russia to bring Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime into compliance. Moscow is the regime's main arms supplier and key international backer.
"We're going to make sure that the Syrians live up to their obligations. They have an obligation to the international community to do exactly what they said they'd do," Mr. McDonough said.
Mr. McDonough stopped short of saying what the U.S. would do if the Assad regime doesn't change course. "I'm not going to get into any 'or whats' here," he said.
Secretary of State John Kerry has raised U.S. concerns about the Assad regime's conduct with international counterparts during a trip to Europe this weekend. "We'll keep pushing on that," Mr. McDonough said.
Just 4% of Syria's 530 metric tons of most-dangerous chemicals have been removed so far, despite a Dec. 31, 2013, deadline for removing all of them. U.S. criticism reflects growing concern in Washington that Mr. Assad isn't taking his obligations seriously and is about to miss a second deadline for the removal of the deadly chemicals.
Damascus's foot-dragging could become an embarrassment for President Barack Obama, who backed off plans to bomb Syria over his alleged use of chemical weapons after Mr. Assad agreed to give up his chemical weapons in a deal brokered with Moscow.

1. Party: 00:54
We made it back to Manila in time for the party for IT geeks at the Museum Cafe in Greenbelt. The event was hosted by Exist and had an open bar. The upper floor of the cafe was packed with people from Exist, Narra VC, Orange and Bronze, and other companies. It was awesome reconnecting with people I hadn't seen in a while, and I also enjoyed meeting new people. Two years (maybe even three) away from the Philippine tech scene, and I still fit right in... I had fun. =)
I owe lots of people e-mail, which is a good success indicator for networking events.

2. Gah, panic: 00:58
My flight's not been booked yet, and I really want to make it back in time for something on June 10. I can probably fudge my departure date a little bit, but I'm starting to feel a bit nervous about my thesis.
I can get through this. Must remember to enjoy people's company. And write family a letter.
Random Emacs symbol: string-to-multibyte - Function: Return a multibyte string with the same individual chars as STRING.
3. Fine, I'll do it myself: 01:07
Looks like the numbers for doing it myself are still better than the ones for outsourcing them.
Random Emacs symbol: w3m-file-coding-system-for-read - Variable: *Coding system used when reading configuration files.
4. Thinking about the Ottawa Linux Symposium: 01:41
The $250 or $275 student registration fee's a little steep for me given that I don't really work in core Linux space and I don't have an employer paying my way. However, I *am* quite curious about it. I keep meaning to do something with the Kernel Janitors project. I might have an opportunity to go and maybe even snag a $50 event pass, but will that get me into all the events, just one event, just one day's events, just the reception...?
I should be mostly working on my thesis anyway, so I won't attend most of the sessions. Doesn't make sense to register for the full conference.
I'd like to go, but for cheap, if possible. I'll see how much the event pass will let me get away with, and I'll work on my thesis the rest of the time. =)
Sounds like a plan.

6. Global opportunities in software development: talk by Winston Damarillo: 21:37
I attended Winston Damarillo's lecture on global opportunities in software development today. The audience included faculty from UP, Ateneo, and DLSU, three of the top universities in the country.
I'll write more about it soon, but Winston's key points was that IT is something in which we can be globally competitive, and we should export products and services instead of people. He shared his experiences starting several companies, and a repeatable model for microenterprises that takes advantage of an architecture of participation, instant distribution capability, and promotion through the Web.
Winston is optimistic about this field because of the disruptiveness of technology: as incumbent solutions become overbuilt, space opens up for a small competitor that can focus on satisfying a target market with a simpler solution. That company can easily be based in the Philippines, creating wealth for Filipinos.
There's a lot of work to be done before our graduates can make the most of these opportunities. Here are some of the things we need to do:
- Inspire prospective and current students through seminars and talks by role models and success stories in person and through mass media
- Train teachers and students through code camps
- Take advantage of courseware and resources offered by the industry
- Incorporate open source technologies and principles in computer science courses
- Supplement teacher salaries so that there's a stronger incentive to stay and teach
- Help teachers gain industry experience
- Address real-world needs in computer science projects
- Grow a codebase for the university through sponsored, coordinated projects
- Incorporate business into computer science courses so that students are prepared to identify and fulfill needs
- Incubate startups through university incubators
Interesting things coming up. Stay tuned.
