The Xbox version of Dock Ellis' LSD-fueled no-hitter Jul 11 2011
In 1970, professional baseballer Dock Ellis, who was good at pitching baseballs, threw a no-hitter while under the influence of LSD. In 2011, professional blogger A.J. Daulerio, who isn't so good at video game baseball, attempted to throw a no-hitter while on LSD...playing a customized Dock Ellis in MLB 2K11 on Xbox.
But by the fourth game I started to pick up tendencies in all the batters. Jason Bartlett swung at first-pitch changeups. Will Venable couldn't hit the palm ball. In fact, most of these free-swinging Padres couldn't hit Dock's funky palm ball. I threw it often. But by then, also, the first acid distractions entered: the TV flickered; the cracks in the wall started to move; the hand soap started to breathe -- those sorts of things. Plus I was drawn to the outdoor garden between innings. Rain was near, I sensed.

A Brooklyn jury has awarded $510,000 to a man who sued the city for a broken ankle he suffered during an arrest for shoplifting.
The jury awarded Kevin Jarman $510,000 on Wednesday for the injury.
Jarman had filed the suit after pleading guilty to shoplifting at a Queens Pathmark in 2011.
The New York Post (http://bit.ly/1ssnDAX ) says it's not the first payout Jarman has received from the city.
In 2005, he sued the NYPD for false arrest after a drug sale charge was dropped. The city settled for $15,000.
Then last month the city settled for $20,000 after Jarman sued police for false arrest in another drug case.

"Fruitvale Station" has come under some fire for a fictional scene and the film's promotion being tied to the George Zimmerman trial.
The movie from Oakland director Ryan Coogler details the final day of Oscar Grant, who was shot and killed by a BART officer on Jan. 1, 2009. The film is out in limited release.
Coogler has confirmed that in filling in some blanks in Grant's day, he added a fictitious scene in which Grant befriends a dog that is later hit and killed by a car. A Huffington Post reporter asked Coogler if that scene could be considered manipulative by making an animal-loving Grant more likable.
"Yeah, but that's not the intention," Coogler told the reporter. "That's not the intention to show that this guy's a great guy. That wasn't the intention at all. And that's fine, that's the risk that you run with a scene like that. I can tell you what the scene was about and why it's there -- because, it's funny, it's a very polarizing scene. Some people get the intention and it's their favorite scene in the movie. Some people hate the whole movie because of the scene. Like, 'I feel manipulated.'"
Coogler added that the scene was important to him and actor Michael B. Jordan, who played Grant, because of Grant's fondness for pit bulls, a dog breed that often makes the news for its aggressive behavior.
"You never hear about a pit bull doing anything good in the media," Coogler said in the Huffington Post interview. "And they have a stigma to them ... and, in many ways, pit bulls are like young African-American males. Whenever you see us in the news, it's for getting shot and killed or shooting and killing somebody -- for being a stereotype. And that's what you see for African-Americans in the media and the news."
The limited release for "Fruitvale Station" also comes as closing arguments are made in the George Zimmerman trial, and some of the film's promotional material is being tied to that trial.
Zimmerman is on trial for shooting black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida, which Zimmerman said was an act of self-defense.
A marketing photo on "Fruitvale's" Facebook page shows an image of Jordan as Grant and a quote from Coogler: "Anytime someone's life is lost and there's an inkling of politics involved, that person is not around to defend himself and his character gets pulled in different directions depending on what side of the fence you sit on. We saw it happen with Trayvon Martin, and it shows no signs of slowing down."
TV ads for "Fruitvale Station" also began airing during coverage of the Zimmerman trial, although ad reps for Weinstein Company have told news outlets that the ads were about reaching a "crossover audience" that includes cable news, not necessarily about linking to the actual trail coverage.
Entertainment and political publicist Angie Meyer criticized the marketing campaign in FOX411's Pop Tarts column: "It's absolutely inappropriate and morally wrong to use a high profile case to create publicity and buzz around a movie release. But capitalize on political bias and a high-profile case together, and Hollywood thrives on it."
The Weinstein Company has not yet responded.

Researchers see world without passwords
Biometrics could improve security, make lives easier
Published: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 7:00 a.m.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — You may never need to memorize another password. That's the goal of researchers at Purdue University's International Center for Biometrics Research.
Stephen Elliott is the director of international biometric research at Purdue University in Indiana. He says iris and fingerprint scans as well as facial and voice recognition are just a few of the tools that improve security while making lives easier. His basement lab is a place where emerging biometric technologies are tested for weaknesses before they can go mainstream.
Biometrics is already in use at one local restaurant. Chris Smith, assistant manager of KFC in West Lafayette, Ind., says workers punch in by putting their finger on a fingerprint scanner attached to their cash register.

Smithfield's Named Food Sponsor of HoopsFest 2012 [1]
Read More About
Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q is proud to announce its support of the 2012 HoopsFest event in Raleigh, North Carolina, an annual basketball exhibition that raises funds for The Healing Place of Wake County.
In its third year, the HoopsFest event (co-chaired by Chris Corchiani, former North Carolina State University basketball star, and Tom Bonfield, current member of the Healing Place Board of Directors) will take place on Saturday, October 13, at The Healing Place in Raleigh.
HoopsFest was designed to raise funds and awareness of The Healing Place of Wake County, a nonprofit recovery and rehabilitation facility for homeless men and women in the Triangle community.
The $50,000 raised at HoopsFest in 2011 funded more than 1,400 client days in a recovery program where 76 percent of the clients are still sober one year after completion.
Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q remains proud of its ability to regularly contribute to local nonprofit organizations that have a history of supporting the local communities that the restaurant brand serves locally.
"The costs that we can help The Healing Place defray means more and more of the funds they work hard to raise throughout the year, and at events like HoopsFest can go directly to support the important work they are doing here in our community," says Richard Averitte, marketing director of Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q.
"In just a few short years, the staff, volunteers, and supporters of The Healing Place have done a tremendous job of creating an annual fundraising event that does just that," he continues, "and we are honored to be a part of HoopsFest 2012."
Chris Corchiani, co-chair of HoopsFest for The Healing Place of Wake County, says, "I'm excited to invite people out to join us on October 13 for some basketball and wonderful food from Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q at The Healing Place of Wake County.
"Besides having a great time, attendees will get to see a recovery program that helps people find their way back from the devastating effects of homelessness and addiction," he continues. "The Healing Place has had over 700 graduates of the program and each one of those folks left with a job and a stable place to live."

SARATOGA -- Keller Chryst is best known as Palo Alto's highly touted quarterback. But the 6-foot-4 junior can play a little basketball, too.
With first place in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division at stake Tuesday night, Chryst dominated near the basket as Palo Alto cruised to a 59-43 victory over Saratoga.
The Vikings (18-1, 8-0 division) stretched their winning streak to 16 games and moved two games ahead of Saratoga with four league games remaining.
Chryst finished with 19 points and 15 rebounds, both season highs. Aubrey Dawkins also had 19 points for the Vikings and one tongue-in-cheek critique of Chryst's offensive game.
"He should have dunked some of those," Dawkins said, smiling. "But he got the points. I'm proud of him."
Dawkins, the Vikings' leading scorer on the season, led Palo Alto to a sizzling start as he scored nine points in the opening quarter. And Dawkins followed his own advice, dunking on an alley-oop pass for the Vikings' first points.
Palo Alto was so efficient early that Saratoga coach Trevor Naas called two timeouts before the second quarter.
"They're good," Naas said. "We know going into this that we're going to have to play a great game, and unfortunately tonight we didn't get that done. That's obviously not the start we want to draw up. Palo Alto is not the team you want to dig yourself a big hole against."
Saratoga's hole grew to 14 points before it started to claw back. The Falcons (15-5, 6-2) pulled to within 26-18 at halftime as Palo Alto went ice cold in the closing minutes of the half.
But the Vikings quickly ended any comeback hopes for Saratoga, scoring eight of the first 10 points after halftime. Chryst and Eilon Tzur combined for 15 of Palo Alto's 21 points in the third quarter.
The Vikings led 47-29 entering the fourth and coasted to the finish.
"We moved the ball well tonight," Palo Alto coach Adam Sax said. "I really thought the first and third (quarters) we played as a team, made the extra pass. We got in trouble when we started dribbling too much."
Chryst, a first-team All-Mercury News football player, entered the game averaging 6.8 points and 7.1 rebounds. He had seven points by halftime.
"For his size, he's very athletic," Naas said. "He jumps extremely well."
Chryst didn't play basketball last season because of a foot injury. But he noted that "I've played every other year pretty much my entire life."
The son of 49ers quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst, Keller Chryst will miss Palo Alto's next game, Friday against Homestead, because he is going to the Super Bowl.
But he will be back for Palo Alto's stretch run toward the Central Coast Section playoffs.
"I think we've got serious potential," Chryst said. "We only have one loss, but we're ready for some stiff competition coming up in the future."
Leigh 68, Independence 58: Kimo Francisco and Josh Verner each scored 13 points to lead Leigh to a Blossom Valley Athletic League Mount Hamilton Division victory.
The win avenged the Longhorns' three-point loss to Independence on Jan. 8 and also kept Leigh (15-5, 8-2) in a first-place tie with Piedmont Hills.
Piedmont Hills 58, Westmont 27: Three Piedmont Hills players scored in double figures, led by Eros Mendoza's 13, as the Pirates (16-4, 8-2) rolled to the Mount Hamilton Division win.
Leland 48, Oak Grove 30: Leland (14-6, 7-3) remained a game behind Piedmont Hills and Leigh as Wes Owen led the Chargers with 14 points.
El Camino 80, Terra Nova 50: Michael Smith had 29 points and 16 rebounds as host El Camino (16-4, 8-0) stayed undefeated in the Peninsula Athletic League's North Division.
Burlingame 78, Hillsdale 61: Connor Haupt scored 27 points and Nick Loew added 18 points and 16 rebounds for visiting Burlingame (12-7, 7-0).

Branham 3, Willow Glen 1: Fatmata Kamara scored two goals to give her 16 on the season as Branham improved to 7-6-2, 5-3-1 in the BVAL Mount Hamilton Division.

Archbishop Mitty 56, St. Francis 43: NiaJai Craig scored 16 points to lead Archbishop Mitty to a West Catholic Athletic League victory. The Monarchs (16-5, 8-1) continue to share the league lead with Sacred Heart Cathedral (16-4, 8-1), which beat St. Ignatius 51-48.

"For any person, a certain organ can be the source of nightmares. Each person, of course is unique. A person might mention they've experienced a nightmare. The nightmare may be trying to inform the person a certain organ needs particular nutrients, elements. As we've discussed the chakras also need particular nutrients, elements. Certain emotions also live in the chakras. Limiting emotions can block off certain areas of the body. An individual, then, can utilize this approach (hypnosis and dream analysis) as a possible preventive medicine warding off illness in certain prone areas of the body.""Once this instrument [the lute Kuan Yin was playing] is correctly tuned and kept tuned any amount of chaos won't matter, won't effect it," remarks Kuan Yin. ("Of course," explains Lena, "this is Kuan Yin's metaphor for keeping the body chakras well-tuned. She's telling me this is a continuation of her message concerning the effects of sound and vibrations upon physicality. She is also saying that the power of sound (and pulse) is why music is so calming and comforting.")"I wish someone would do sound tuning of the chakras. Sound comes first in the universe. We're all made of sound. Kuan Yin then described a computerized devise that could measure and adjust the sound vibration for each chakra: "It would be like having one's hearing checked. Only one would be working with the energy centers-the chakras. Individuals could get more in touch with their own pulses and their relationship with sound. It would feel really good and could possibly be used for pain management. There will be in the coming years a proportionally larger group of the elderly in your society. People will live longer. However, they will have many misalignments in the chakras. Sound therapy could be very soothing as well as help an individual to adjust, to be ready to move on to the next life."

At the sound of the horn, Arapahoe Basin's Rise & Shine Rando racers took off, heading uphill on their skis in the dim, early morning light Tuesday. The course is up High Noon to Black Mountain Lodge, where racers skin around the wing flag before removing their skins and returning to the base area via High Noon. At the base area, racers circumnavigate the start flag and then make their way back up to the lodge, continuing up Dercum's Gulch to Lenawee Face and the top of Lenawee Chair with the finish line near the top of the Montezuma Lift. On Tuesday morning, 34 early risers showed up ready to skin up the mountain at sunrise. "We even had about 10 folks drive up from the Front Range just to participate," Scott Westcott stated in an email. Westcott is the owner of Wilderness Sports, the event's main sponsor. "The series was designed as a true randonee race, with uphill, downhill and even some boot-pack sections, but in a friendly, low-key environment where newbies can be comfortable to give the sport a try." The entry fee included a free cup of coffee from A-Basin, and after the first race, the majority of participants went inside to warm up and to socialize. "It created a good environment for those new to the sport to chat with those more experienced and get some good pointers for upcoming races," Westcott said. The top male finisher was Greg Ruckman, who clocked in at 40 minutes, 5.18 seconds. The top female finisher was Becs Hodgetts in 54:18.98. Three more races round out the series: Dec. 18, Jan. 8 and Jan. 22. Entry is $20, and prizes are awarded to the top three male and female competitors. Get more information at http://bit.ly/VxwNNh.

Why do they make these posts and respond, acting like they give a shit, when they clearly don't? It's like a waste of effort. He would actually be better off shutting the fuck up, he would make less people mad.

Also, I seriously believe that no one at Blizzard plays PvP at decent levels. They are hiding their profiles, not showing you how they actually play the game.
Compare that to League of Legends and Riot: You can lookup pretty much any employee playing their game and most of them have actually decent high ratings (not world best or something, but not the drooling keyboardturning kind of players that i imagine GC to be.) and their game is insanely well balanced.
Ye, but Blizzard fails at all their games lately. Look at SC2, balance is a joke compared to SC1. Stephano says Zerg is op at every tournament, Blizzard does shit.
Back to your point, reworking auto attacks and spell scaling is much more effort than just adding a flat damage and healing debuff to arenas and rbgs. Healing is insane right now, 300k heals are retarded, just like 300k crit are stupid.

The thing about this is, it's not the only class doing it. If a mage at any point can get a frostbomb on you (100k+) explode that shit with fireblast (40k+) and then follow it up with a frostfire bolt (70k+) you are pretty much in the same boat, but they can do this way more often. don't forget chaos waves critting for 220k+. this is all with pretty decent gear.
It can go both ways, but playing my healer right now is the worst i've ever played because the damage on absolutely everything is retarded.
not sure where i was going with this, i guess tl;dr all damage on everything is too high.
So we are currently at 3 classes that can global someone?
Should be pretty obvious what to fix...

I don't think you understand the problem if you think PvP power is causing any of the issues. The problem is that the difference between steady state damage and cooldown damage is too large. Nerf PvP power and the problem still exists.
Edit: I also hate the way that they've gone with so many classes, where there are resource generators and there are resource spenders. The generators do basically no damage, and the spenders do ludicrous amounts of damage. I was looking at Recount yesterday and I saw Steady Shots critting for 4.5k. What? Why even have the ability Steady Shot in the game? Why not just let Hunters Evocate and restore their Focus like that? There's essentially no purpose to the damage Steady Shot does. Many other classes have had this insane design put on them as Blizzard adds a secondary resource. How many classes have essentially (slightly different) combo points now? As another example, Monk's Jab hits for extremely low numbers as well. Either increase the damage of the generator and reduce the damage of the spender, or just don't have the generator in the game at all. It's annoying to do 3k DPS with your globals while generating, then 40k DPS with your globals while spending.

Random guy: What do you think about nerfing damage cds a bit and buffing consistent damage? Arena revolves too much around big cds.
Ghostcrawler: There's a balance though. Burst windows are often the only thing allowing you to score a kill before they're healed back up.
thanks for clearing that up greg
Posted 05 December 2012 - 01:13 PM
I feel like things that were once very important (like positioning, or maybe someone else remembers when casters actually had a mana bar?) are largely overshadowed by a dumbed down system of lining up cooldowns to global someone and/or just waiting for cooldowns to come back up again if you fail to land a kill. An overhaul of many parts of the game is needed to fix PvP (balancing PvE counters around different DPS and HPS) so I have little faith it will ever happen, especially considering the views and direction GC/Blizzard seem to want to go with the game - seemingly the complete opposite.

Fastback Readies Radio Devices to Ease Mobile Data Bottleneck
Mobile network operators face a big challenge in keeping up with the uploads and downloads of smartphone users. A Silicon Valley startup is offering a novel solution to a less-obvious part of the problem.
The company is called Fastback Networks, and it is proposing a new breed of radio-based devices to help carriers head off traffic jams of cellular data. Fastback, like many other technology vendors, plans to announce its plans at Mobile World Congress next week in Barcelona.
Fastback hopes to serve as a key link in a broader response to data-traffic woes, which is based on dividing up cell sites into much smaller units that can deliver data to more mobile users.
Instead of conventional base stations–many of which require large towers–many companies are proposing small cells that are managed with devices small enough to be put on a light pole, on the side of buildings or inside them.
But one thing isn't settled with small cells: how to connect them to the Internet. The tried-and-true solution for what the industry calls "backhaul" is to use fiber-optic cable, but that is not feasible in many places, says Kevin Duffy, Fastback's co-founder and CEO.
Neither is microwave communications, a radio technology that sends signals in a straight line–an impossibility in many cell locations with buildings or other obstacles present, he says.
So Fastback has developed radio-based devices that can connect small cells but do not need a line-of-sight connection. It calls the approach "Any Line Of Sight," and it relies in part on chips that originated at an Israeli company called DesignArt Networks that was purchased last year by Qualcomm.
Duffy says it has enhanced the DesignArt technology with proprietary software, communications algorithms and other features. The resulting devices can send 500 megabits of data a second, over distances ranging from 500 meters to 2 kilometers.
Fastback says they are being tested by mobile operators and others. "They are starting to get their minds around it," Duffy says.
A subtle, but important, part of Fastback's strategy is that its technology may also be purchased by other classes of companies than the cellular carriers. While the carriers worry about potential capital expenditures to add capacity to their networks, Duffy says, small cells might just as likely be established by companies offering wired Internet access or backhaul services in metropolitan areas.
Those operators may see these wireless access points as a way to extend their businesses, Duffy says, and potentially serve multiple mobile carriers–think Verizon and AT&T sharing the same light pole. "Let the Ethernet providers do backhaul as a service," he says.
Fastback, which was founded in 2010, is backed by the venture-capital firms Foundation Capital and Granite Ventures.

5 Ways to Beat the Nighttime Nosh
by The FIRM nutrition expert Sara Ryba, R.D., C.D.N.
I remember my first sleepover as a young child, when my friend's mom said we could have a midnight snack. It was so exciting to be able to eat junk food so late at night!
Of course, my opportunities to gorge like that were few and far between. But regular late-night noshing plagues many of us and can cause weight problems if you don't control it.
Do you find that you consume too many calories after dinner? Are you continually returning to the kitchen for "one more thing"? Do you wake up in the morning annoyed that you snacked too much the night before? If so, you are not alone. Studies have suggested that people feel less inhibited to overdo the snacks after dark.
So, let's do something about it! Nighttime eating is my weight-loss clients' single most common obstacle. But it is a challenge worth taking on, as conquering this habit will open the door to long-lasting, successful weight loss.

Tint the dark chocolate frosting black using the black food coloring. Tint 1/2 cup of the vanilla frosting light brown using the black food coloring. Spoon 1/2 cup of the vanilla frosting into a resealable bag. Spoon the black and light brown frosting into separate resealable bags. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting a pale yellow using the yellow food coloring.
Open the cream-filled cookies. Remove the cream and discard. Use a small serrated knife to cut the cookies in half to make semi circles for the ears.
Cut the chocolate taffy into thirds and shape into 3/4-inch triangles for the nose. Cut the pink fruit chew into sixths and shape into 1/4-inch triangles for the tongue.
Spread the tops of the cupcakes with some of the yellow frosting and make smooth. Spoon the remaining yellow frosting into a resealable bag. Insert two pretzel sticks, one on either top edge of cupcake as support for the ears. Snip a small corner from the bag with the yellow frosting and pipe a small dot on the pretzel stick. Add the cut chocolate cookie, cut side against the cupcake as the ears.
Snip a small corner from the bag with the vanilla and light brown frostings and a very scant 1/8-inch corner from the bag with the black frosting. Pipe the vanilla frosting in the center of each of the cookie ears to cover. Pipe the outer edge of cookie with the yellow frosting. Add the chocolate taffy triangle in the center the cupcake as the nose. Pipe the light brown frosting as small triangles around the bottom and top edge of each cupcake as stripes. Pipe eyes, mouth, and eyebrows with the black frosting. Pipe white dots of frosting for the eyes, tooth, and fur ends on top of the light brown frosting. Add the pink fruit chew as the tongue.

- 49ers lead Packers 13-10 at halftime
- 49ers' Carlos Rogers won't play, replaced by Tarell Brown
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It took Phil Dawson 15 seasons but he finally got to attempt a walk-off field goal in the postseason. Sunday's result: a 33-yarder inside Lambeau Field's uprights as time expired in the 49ers' 23-20, wild-card win over the host Packers.
"I waited a long time to win a playoff game," Dawson said. "I finally got to do it and it was worth the wait."
Dawson never got a chance in his 14 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He appeared in only one playoff game with them, and he never attempted even a tying field goal a 36-33 loss to Pittsburgh in January 2003.
Now he's won each of the 49ers' past two games with a walk-off kick. He made a 40-yard field goal a week earlier as time expired in a 23-20 win at Arizona.
Dawson's game-winner at Lambeau came off the right hashmark and inside the right goal post. But it nearly got blocked by the Packers' Davon House, who jumped offside.
"I saw, from my perspective, a guy come off the left wing jump prior to the snap, and I hurried up a little bit," said Dawson, who figured his range probably was at maximum 47 yards.
As referee Ed Hochuli announced that the offside penalty would be declined, he mistakenly said the "touchdown" would stand, before correcting himself. Would that have been a first?
"No, I've had a touchdown," said Dawson, who had a 4-yard touchdown run as a rookie in 1999. "My wife will love it. (Hochuli) is her favorite."
In the first quarter, McDonald and Aldon Smith shared a sack on Rodgers. Smith also had a third-quarter sack after getting an IV at halftime to cure his leg cramps. Ahmad Brooks accounted for the 49ers' other two sacks.
"They're good, but it's the playoffs, man," said Gore. "We're good, they're good. Those are the games you get ready for, you know? Everybody should be good in this tournament. We've just got to be us, just do whatever it takes to get a win."
"It should (be concerning), especially early in the game like that, a playoff game, it's a big game and you never know when you'll need them," Gore said. "But we'll work on that this week, get it done and get ready for Carolina."

Join an archaeological excavation near Hadrian's Wall to discover how the Romans lived in northern England.
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Earthwatch volunteers at the South Shields Roman Fort have helped in mapping more than 1,000 square yards of pre-Roman and Roman settlements and excavating jewelry, armor, and ceramics.
Two millennia ago, the Roman Empire stretched all the way to northern England, which the Romans considered the very edge of civilization. Arbeia, the Roman fort overlooking the River Tyne and its harbor, was one of the largest and busiest supply depots in the northern Roman Empire. Hadrian's Wall, just four miles (6.4 kilometers) from Arbeia, marks the boundary of the Empire. Beyond the wall lived the region's native inhabitants, the Brigantes and the Picts. How did these cultures adapt to each other and coexist?
As a volunteer member of the archaeological team, you'll help a seasoned team of researchers to excavate Arbeia and its environs to better understand how the Romans and the inhabitants of northern Britain came into contact with each other—and were forever changed by the experience. You'll work in small groups, rotating among many tasks, including excavation using a trowel or more robust digging equipment, recording site data, site surveying, and sampling, cleaning, and processing finds.
When you're not digging into the past, you can spend your recreational time along Hadrian's Wall or enjoying local culture in South Shields or in the historic cities of Newcastle, York, Durham, and Edinburgh just a few hours' travel from the field site. Most teams will stay in a cozy local guesthouse, while those who join the six-day team will arrange their own accommodations and can choose from any of South Shields' many lodging options.
Join Waitlist
*Includes accommodations, food, and all related research costs.
To be Announced
Through our research, we aim to provide a more complete picture that can inform future plans for the management and conservation of the site.
After more than 10 years of excavation, Earthwatchers continue to discover new artifacts at the Arbeia dig.
Arbeia was a Roman military and civilian settlement and port of supply, situated on a flat-topped hill with a view of the mouth of the River Tyne. The fort became part of the frontier defense system begun in A.D. 122 by the Emperor Hadrian, whose famous wall starts only four miles (6.4 kilometers) west of South Shields and runs across the island of Great Britain.
New discoveries are constantly being made at the site; we are producing a more detailed picture of the inside of a Roman military base of the first to the fourth centuries than has ever been drawn before. Through our research, we aim to provide a more complete picture that can inform future plans for the management and conservation of the site.
Earthwatch teams have greatly advanced knowledge of the civilian area of the site. Life here was thought to have come to a sudden end around A.D. 260, when trade networks across the empire were disrupted during a period of military crisis and barbarian invasion. The new excavation area, however, is producing a contrasting picture: the civilian settlement got smaller in the late third century, but it did not disappear.
Conduct site surveys and help process exciting finds.
You will work with other volunteers, taking part in excavation activities, site surveying, sampling, cleaning, planning, mapping, and completing post-excavation work, including processing of finds and wet-sieving of environmental material.
South Shields is in northern England, within the Tyneside urban area, east of Newcastle on the southern bank of the Tyne. The project site sits on a rise overlooking the North Sea and the river mouth. The town is a mixture of old and new, with Georgian and Victorian buildings side by side with redevelopment of more recent years.
The weather during the summer is typically British: a mixture of warm days, the occasional cool sea breeze, and showers that appear in an instant and disappear just as quickly. The town is the capital of the South Tyneside region, and the local economy is a mixture of small-scale industry and coastal-resort tourism.
The coastline here epitomizes the Great British seaside, with pristine sandy beaches, soaring cliffs, and delightful parks. The local people are famously friendly and welcoming, and you'll encounter a wide variety of pubs and restaurants to sample and a range of activities, including shopping, live music, and theatre.
This is a summary:
You can choose to join this team for either six or 13 days.
Continued schedule for 13-day teams:
You'll be an archaeologist from Monday to Friday, and then have some recreational time on the weekends. While working at the Roman fort, you will:
When you're not at work, the team will visit local museums, take in the view at the seashore, or relax at the accommodations. Those who stay for the full two weeks will get to take a guided tour of Hadrian's wall.
Earthwatch volunteers have helped to excavate Roman jewelry, armor, and ceramics.
Join Dr. Bidwell in the field.
Earthwatch archaeologist Paul Bidwell is known for discovering the great Roman baths in the English city of Exeter and for his many excavations on Hadrian's Wall.
Your team will stay in local guesthouses just a few minutes' walk from the seafront and town center and a 10-minute walk from your work site. The guesthouses have shared bedrooms, hot showers and bathrooms, with easy access to parks, beaches, pubs, and restaurants. Volunteers on the six-day expedition will find their own accommodations, and can choose from any of South Shields' many offerings.
Whether you are looking for a snack, a pub meal, or a sit-down five-course meal, you'll find it in South Shields. Ocean Road is renowned for its array of good restaurants, especially those serving seafood, fish and chips, and Indian food, which offer excellent value for the money. At the excavation site, you'll be fortified by your choice of picnic lunches. You'll also enjoy full English or continental breakfast and hearty dinners at the guest house.
Near the seafront and close to the town center.

In this expedition, you get a full and total experience of Roman History and Archeological studies. This is probably the most comprehensive experience of the Roman Empire in Britian. You will learn the basics of archeology and an amazing amount about the history of the Roman Empire in Britian.
Robert McClure | 8/17/2016
A very good first time experience for me and I learned a ton about not only the science, but history as well. A huge additional benefit was meeting so many new and different people doing the same thing.
Noel Henry | Friday, July 11, 2014
My grandson, Kieren, and I joined the first expedition at the site this summer (2014). The initial briefing was really thorough and provided a clear history of the site and surrounding area. We met the other members of our team, Jacob and John, and the Excavation staff members Jim and Terry. We quickly became a focused and mutually supportive team and although we worked hard we also had great fun and learned a lot about the history and culture of Roman Britain.
We made a number of finds including pottery, tiles and bones. During the week there were many other visitors to the site from local schools and charities and we had the opportunity to talk to them about what we were doing.
During the week we also really enjoyed the evening lecture from a leading historian Dr. Nick Hodgson.
We stayed in a local guest house and the staff there were really lovely, welcoming and helpful and we were offered huge amounts of great, home-cooked food.
I can totally recommend this experience to anyone wanting an active educational holiday.

This was a very nice expedition, but I was glad that it was my first one and not my fourth. It's a good, safe, comfortable expedition to try out Earthwatch or archeology for the first time; there was a lot of learning about Earthwatch, how the projects work, what the expectations and work is like. The work was physical but not overly strenuous, and there were lots of opportunities for breaks if you needed it. It was comfortable in terms of language and location for a lot of people coming over from the US, too. It had been running for several years by the time I joined it, so all of the kinks were out in terms of accommodations and food. We were working in a site that had been excavated several times previously.
Accommodations were clean, safe, and comfortable: rooming houses and B&Bs. Food was somewhat dependent on which rooming house you were in: the house I was in had a wide variety of excellent food, but I heard from other team members that their houses didn't have such extensive choices. They were fed well, but at least some other team members were jealous of the interesting local snacks our rooming house provided us with.

Office for Mac Home and Student Edition
11 Opinions
I bought a cheap bulk copy from work (education) and I have to say, the launch time for Word 2008 on a fast 64 bit Intel system has a much slower launch time than 2004 with the latest updates running on a Powerbook. Word opens more or less immediately on my old Powerbook, while 2008 drags along, bouncing in the dock.
Perhaps an update will help, but for now I'm not hugely impressed.
What a terrible disappointment! Never before since 1984 have I switched back to an older software version as I did this time. After installing Office 2008 back in February 2008, I tried to live with its flaws. Among the worst are the data losses and more recently (since the SP 1 update) the inability to open automatically (by double clicking) other Office documents received via email. I got tired of having to add back the data lost in the Excel forms I use at work. I got tired of having to go to File > Open and select a document I had received and then have to save it again so that next time I could double click it to open it.
Office 2008 reminds me of another bad Office edition, the infamous version 6!
@apeiron :
> dropdown menus for cells not showing all items in Excel
If you're talking about the dropdown list of values used to filter a column:
this happens in Excel 2003 for Windows too: there's a limit on the number of item that can be displayed (more than 100, but I don't know exactly how much).
Beware the rebate. They ask for your manual cover, then when you send it in they say they didn't receive it; you have no recourse, and they keep your $100. It's a scam.
I've noticed several document rendering discrepancies between Office for Windows and Office for Mac, both as a student and as a professional. Images not showing up in Word and dropdown menus for cells not showing all items in Excel. I'd stick to the Windows version if you can because of these issues. Caused much gnashing of teeth for me.
Word and Excel are pretty great in 2008.
The only feature missing in this edition vs. the standard edition is the Microsoft Server Exchange Support, is that right?
Office 2008 is almost two times faster to do the same task as 2004 (tested by logging CPU time for the app doing the same task) for Intel machines. It uses about 1/4 more real memory but 1/4 less virtual memory. It is clearly faster and doesn't beachball like 2004 did. The UI is much better than 2004, much more integrated and consistent.
But it has broken compatibility with Endnote XI, causing issues for academic users. And Excel now fails to offer the Analysis toolpak as all old macros are now broken.
iWork: faster and uses less resources that Office 2004 or 2008. Nicer UI but functionality is like a toy:
1) No cross-referencing for word-processing.
2) Pages cannot even outline work.
3) Closed format â" why in this age are Apple still offering closed proprietary formats!?
4) Pages cannot integrate effectively with bibliography software.
3) Numbers is crippled offering no error bars, and way behind on functionality in general. There are horrible bugs in its 3D chart functionality.
Sorry, though I want to like iWork, it fails to support even core Apple domains (education, where, you know, error bars, statistics functions, bibligraphies and cross-referencing are important). For many, that leaves Office or OpenOffice (with no native interface). For word-processing there are great apps like Mellel (puts Pages to shame), but support for Word documents is poor...
For just writing, dump Word/Pages/Mellel and use Scrivener!
It really doesn't seem to be anything but 2004 with a 'spiced up' UI, which is as bad as 2004, and in some areas, worse!
If it was anything like 2007 then great, but it's really not. Shame.
Microsoft being half assed with the Mac community - not a surprise really!
iWork is definitely better, although 2008 may be worth it for excel, as it's still got the edge on Numbers in it's current immature stage.
Oh god, this is so ugly, slow, and unintuitive... iWork is much better.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- What do Starbucks, the Augusta Symphony and the mayor have in common? They all are working to bring new life to downtown Augusta.
Have you heard? A revitalized concert hall is coming to a neighborhood near you.
"We're on the move," said Dr. Mieko Di Sano. "We're getting our construction manager."
Di Sano took us inside the historic Miller Theater for a look at what's to come.
"We'll have a movie screen," Di Sano said. "We'll have plenty of opportunities for lots of shows here."
The talk of revving up the theater district has the mayor eying the old chamber building just down from the Miller.
"It is a very funky design," said Mayor Deke Copenhaver. "But for a creative use, it is the perfect building."
The mayor wants a one-stop shop Augusta Regional Collaboration Center with all the region's players in one location.
"The medical community, the nuclear community, the arts community," said Di Sano. "[With] everybody working together to coordinate this effort downtown, it can get done, and it can get done quickly."
The building will need some work. The city recently put the property up for bid, but the mayor notes $100,000 has already been set aside for his ARC Center. The mayor says the building should remain in the city's hands because that initial investment is already sparking private investment.
"That also got a private sector match from a local donor of $100,000 along with Starbucks putting $200,000 into the project." Copenhaver said.
Copenhaver is likely referencing a July Starbucks groundbreaking in which Starbucks pledged $200,000 for local community programs.
"We're investing money to make sure we are a good neighbor." said Executive Vice President Peter Gibbons at the time. "We are growing quite fast and so this was a great opportunity to bring jobs back to America and build a new manufacturing facility."
"All of those things revitalize an area," Di Sano said. "Because, like me, they want to go to a local coffee shop or go to a local bar down the street."
The arts community and the mayor are on the same sheet of music when it comes to the new center.
"Because those people will be the ones to engage downtown and really build downtown," Di Sano said.
The mayor will take this idea to the Augusta Commission next Tuesday. The symphony also starts interviews for a construction manager next week.

Google Maps, a service that lets you explore amazing places around the world just got a little better! Anyone with an internet connection can view natural wonders, go inside restaurants, navigate a trip and now even visit Antarctica!
As part of its World Wonders project, Google Maps Street View offers you a virtual tour of the icy continent, complete with glaciers, snowy vistas and penguins via 360-degree panoramic imagery.
The primary aim of the new feature is to teach users about the history of the Antarctic explorations and the people who first landed on this inhospitable environment.
With help from the Polar Geospatial Center at the University of Minnesota and the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust, Google captured images of many historic spots.
Google used a lightweight tripod camera with a fisheye lens for the photos as traditional lenses were unable to capture the snow capped landscape.
Paul Morin, director of the National Science Foundation-funded Polar Geospatial Center in the University of Minnesota's College of Science and Engineering stated, "This is the ultimate public outreach. These are places that nobody can visit without tremendous effort and cost. This puts the glory of Antarctica at people's fingertips around the world so everyone can be an 'armchair' polar explorer."
The primary aim of the new feature is to teach users about the history of the Antarctic explorations and the people who first landed on this inhospitable environment.
Panoramic 360-degree images of the South Pole
Users can explore the small wooden huts of great Antarctic explorers like Ernest Shackleton and Robert Scott during their landmark expeditions in the early 1900s.
The huts are well preserved and the rooms are filled with artifacts. They give an insight into the day-to-day lives of the explorers.
Alex Starns, Google's Street View technical program manager, wrote in a post, "They were built to withstand the drastic weather conditions only for the few short years that the explorers inhabited them, but remarkably, after more than a century, the structures are still intact, along with well-preserved examples of the food, medicine, survival gear and equipment used during the expeditions."

Starns wrote, "The goal of these efforts is to provide scientists and travel (or penguin) enthusiasts all over the world with the most accurate, high-resolution data of these important historic locations.
"With this access, schoolchildren as far as Bangalore can count penguin colonies on Snow Hill Island, and geologists in Georgia can trace sedimentary layers in the Dry Valleys from the comfort of their desks."

SAN JOSE -- Jesus Ruiz Diego, 26, knows no other life than the one he's had since growing up in San Jose, yet he faces imminent deportation from the United States because he's an illegal immigrant.
His family and supporters plan to rally Monday at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in San Francisco as part of a last effort to keep him from being sent to Mexico.
"This is my country," Ruiz Diego said in a San Francisco detention center interview. "I consider this my country even though I don't have legal status here."
He's among the 1.7 million young people who came to the United States illegally as children and who could qualify for a "deferred action" plan that would protect them from deportation for two years. But he doesn't meet one of the requirements of the rule, which says applicants must have been in the U.S. continuously since June 15, 2007. Ruiz Diego and his family came to the United States illegally about 18 years ago, and in the spring of 2008 immigration authorities carried out a 10-year-old deportation order against them. He was 22 and had never left the United States since arriving from Mexico when he was 4 years old.
He grew up in San Jose, graduated from Independence High School in 2004 and speaks limited Spanish, but suddenly authorities were deporting him to Tijuana. Ruiz Diego ended up with his extended family in his hometown of Zacualpan in the state of Nayarit. He was scared, the locals were hostile and before long he was illegally re-entering the United States, walking across the Arizona desert. A few days and a bus trip later he was back in San Jose in May 2008.
A little over four years later, on September 18, immigration authorities showed up at his metalworking job in Morgan Hill and hauled him away, Ruiz Diego said.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials said they prioritize deportation of "criminal aliens" and "those who have previously been removed from the United States." The agency is focused on smart, effective enforcement, it said in a statement.
Sitting in immigration detention, Ruiz Diego said he has no memories of Mexico, only the United States. His first one is from when he was maybe 5 years old. He remembers his father brought him his first pair of shoes. They were poor, and before that he'd only worn sandals.
Ruiz Diego's family and supporters plan to rally Monday at 5 p.m. at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office at 630 Sansome St.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
All-Day Event!
Beginning on December 18, 2010, the Cartoon Art Museum's ongoing Small Press Spotlight will feature the art of Peter S. Conrad.
Peter Conrad is a writer and artist from the East Coast, who has spent fifteen years in the Bay Area looking for decent pizza. He got his start doing cartoons for a music magazine in Poughkeepsie, and from there moved up to self-publishing his mini-comic Attempted Not Known. The first several issues were photocopied and stapled, but Attempted Not Known has evolved into what Conrad calls comic/objects: the last three have been a pack of cigarettes containing 20 tiny comics about smoking, a Comics Cube that you can twist and turn to create new stories, and a 72-page graphic novel in the form of a cassette mix tape.
Now a veteran of many newspapers, magazines, and anthologies, Conrad focuses on Attempted Not Known and his journal strip Vidrio Cafe, which chronicles the day-to-day life of an artist with a day job. You can see Conrad's work at www.attemptednotknown.com and www.vidriocafe.com.
