This is the third straight year a Nevada individual has earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Regionals and the second time for Smith, who was also selected in 2009. Last year, Jared Becher was selected and finished in a tie for fifth at Regionals.
Smith led Nevada with a 72.5 stroke average this season and is a three-time All-WAC performer, including twice as a first-team selection.
"It was a little nerve-racking listening to the announcements and waiting to hear my name called," Smith said. "I am excited to be able to play again because I didn't play that well at the WAC Championships and that's not how I wanted my college career to end. At the same time, I'm not thinking that Regionals will be my last tournament. I'm ready to get down there and compete."
The San Diego Region will be hosted by UCSD and features 13 teams and 10 individuals. Smith was the fourth individual selected of the 10 at the regional location. It is one of six regional sites and the top five teams from each region along with the low individual not on one of those teams will advance to the NCAA Championships at Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Okla.
The San Diego Region includes a number of top teams, including UCLA, Texas and USC, among others.
"There is a lot of great competition but the great thing about this game is everyone starts off at even par," first-year Nevada coach Jacob Wilner said. "This is awesome for Scott and I am excited that he has this chance to go to Regionals again. Scott is a great representative of this university, both academically and athletically and I'm proud of everything he has accomplished."
Smith, a Fallon native and product of Churchill County High School, is a three-team Academic All-WAC honoree and will likely earn his fourth-straight honor this year. He is set to graduate on Saturday with a degree in business and a minor in gaming.
New Mexico State earned the WAC's automatic bid while San Jose State was selected as an at-large team. Fresno State and Idaho each had an individual earn an at-large bid like Nevada.

Samsung NX Mini Lens-Swapping Camera Has Selfies In Mind
Selfies are all the rage now but smartphone cameras don't always deliver the best picture quality. So Samsung designed its newest interchangeable-lens camera (currently the world's slimmest, says the company) to let you focus on…you.
The NX Mini is lightweight with a 1-inch 20.5-megapixel image sensor. The camera has a new lens mount, called the NX-M, and comes with a 9-27mm image-stabilized zoom lens to fit. The base kit costs $449, which is fairly competitive for interchangeable lens cameras.
The NX Mini's most interesting feature, however, is a 3-inch flip-up touchscreen that can turn 180-degrees so you can frame an image of yourself for a good shot. And when taking that selfie, you don't have to worry about the awkward shutter press: The device allows users to set up their shot and wink at the camera to capture an image. Once a wink is detected, the NX Mini takes a shot automatically after two seconds (so you'll have to hold that wink if you want it in the picture, Miley).
Users can also control the camera with a smartphone app, and can even use the device as a baby monitor.
Though it's not a smartphone, it does have Wi-Fi and NFC integration to share photos wirelessly. On-board compatibility with Dropbox file storage and Flickr photo sharing sites means photos can be uploaded directly from the camera. (Dropbox provides 2GB of free storage to new users, accessible from just about any device and with Flickr users can upload up to a terabyte of images.)
Samsung announced two other NX-M lenses as well, a 9mm f/3.5 for wide angle shots, and a 17mm f/1.8 image-stabilized lens for portraits and other beauty shots. With an adapter, NX Mini owners can use up to 15 lenses.
What they don't tell you in the press release: Interchangeable lens cameras are only as good as the lens collection available to them. The reason people stick to Canon and Nikon (or, increasingly, Sony) is that they have enormous catalogs of lenses for every possible shooting situation. The NX-M launch lenses show that Samsung is thinking about this, but even the 15 lenses available with the adapter are a far cry from what competitors offer.
Also, interchangeable lenses often take the value of a very small camera away: You simply can't carry them in your pocket. Some photographers even say that lighter camera bodies lead to image instability, because they respond to every twitch of the shooter's hand.
For people who just want a nice little camera, an interchangeable lens camera may not be the best pick. On the other hand, for those who do value optical options—and high-quality pictures of themselves—this certainly could be a compelling choice.

UIL gateway to creating an academic culture
Posted on 06. Feb, 2012 by Brandon Evans
The state of Texas offers nice carrot to get kids passionate about academics. The UIL academic contests give students an amazing opportunity to apply what they learn in a competitive environment.
But so far it seems like these academic contests are lacking as a priority at Wise County schools. However, there are a few teachers who understand the importance of these academic contests and are helping create a higher level of academic culture at certain programs in their schools.
Lance Morse, drama teacher at Decatur High School, has embraced the One Act Play UIL contest. He regularly takes his students to state. He's created an atmosphere of pride and excellence in a fine arts program at Decatur.
Decatur journalism teacher Cindy Berry has helped create a culture of outstanding journalism at the high school level. The high school paper is one of the best in the state, and her students regularly outperform their peers across the state at UIL contests.
And there are a few others scattered throughout the districts on the rolling plains.
But these are the efforts of individuals teachers. Instead of this emphasis sweeping across campuses across the county, most are more worried about UIL athletic competition. Why? Football reigns as the all important past time in Wise County. Why? Boyd had tremendous success under J.G. Cartwright and won a pair of state titles. Nobody else in the county has done anything. No other team has ever made the state championship game and they most likely never will.
Yet year after year a culture of sports is heralded over an area where we can and should achieve state championship success. Every year our schools are full of very intelligent and creative minds. However, there has yet to be a Tom Brady or Bo Jackson to come out of a Wise County school. And if there is, they'll be great regardless if the school has a culture focused on academics over athletics.
Every district needs to have a strong focus on UIL academic contests. Those avenues gives students a purpose to take their studies

Healthy Searching
In case you didn't notice, it SNOWED last week! This also means we're entering cold and flu season; and it means you're likely going to be "Google-ing" your symptoms. Don't try to deny it! I recently took an online course from the Reference & User Services Association (RUSA) on Health Information Literacy; which means understanding where to find good health information and how to evaluate it once you've located it. In addition to the excellent health related databases mentioned in last week's blog, if you decide to search the web for information here are a few RUSA recommends: HealthfinderDeveloped by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Healthfinder links to carefully selected information and Web sites from over 1,500 … Continued

On Election Day, we noted that nothing beats personal appeals from trusted peers in getting voters to the polls. Traditionally, the two trusted methods have been a phone call and a door knock. The upstart method is social media.
An interesting insight from Business Week this week on lessons from this election on why social media may overcome the phone as a method of making the personal appeals:
This powered the "targeted-sharing" program that Messina and others believe was the true innovation that helped drive such surprisingly high turnout. The campaign's Orwellian knowledge of the electorate—its deep understanding of precisely what, or whom, would motivate someone to act on Obama's behalf—was such that it could get supporters to appeal to wavering or unreliable friends and acquaintances with individually tailored messages. "Politics is a direct-response business," Goff says. "People do things if you ask them to do it, and for the most part don't do it if you don't ask."
Often these requests were made through Facebook, mobile, or another online medium, which made it particularly effective for contacting young voters. "Of our turnout targets 29-and-under, half couldn't be reached by phone, either because they didn't have one or we didn't have their number," Goff says. "Yet we were able to reach 85 percent of them through targeted sharing. Almost everyone is on Facebook." He estimates that 5 million voters were contacted this way—more than Obama's margin of victory. "All of these things are characteristic of the way the next generation of social and mobile apps are going to evolve," says Schmidt.

Adobe Answers to Linux Development Questions
,----[ Quote ]
| That last answer is very interesting. There is some ridicule out on the WWW
| and on USENET that looks at the LSB Product Directory and scoffs that LSB is
| no good and thus Linux is no good. This is one of the usual Fear and
| Uncertainty through Disinformation (FUD) tactics used by those who hate Linux
| and want you to hate it too. Obviously companies, like Adobe, are using the
| LSB tests and certifying for themselves. They are not then certifying with
| The Linux Foundation to be placed in the LSB Product Directory nor are they
| using the LSB trademark.
Adobe's position on software patents has changed?
,----[ Quote ]
| Here is the position of Adobe on software patents in 1994 published by James
| Huggins:
| Let me make my position on the patentability of software clear. I believe
| that software per se should not be allowed patent protection. I take this
| position as the creator of software and as the beneficiary of the rewards
| that innovative software can bring in the marketplace. I do not take this
| position because I or my company are eager to steal the ideas of others
| in our industry. Adobe has built its business by creating new markets
| with new software. We take this position because it is the best policy
| for maintaining a healthy software industry, where innovation can
| prosper.
| The problems inherent in certain aspects of the patent process for
| software-related inventions are well-known, the difficulties of finding
| and citing prior art, the problems of obviousness, the difficulties of
| adequate specifications for software are a few of those problems.
| However, I argue that software should not be patented, not because it is
| difficult to do so, but because it is wrong to do so.
Archiving Documents
,----[ Quote ]
| Archiving is a rather loaded word since doing it can be a widely varying
| activity. In many situations, archiving PDF files is a very good solution. In
| fact it was so attractive to some US Government agencies that they encouraged
| their personnel to work on an ISO committee/working group to define a special
| subset of PDF called PDF/A that meets their needs better than plain old PDF
| might.
Adobe Opens Up (A Bit)
,----[ Quote ]
| I will come as no surprise to readers of this blog that the old proprietary
| software companies are finally seeing the light and beginning – some faster,
| some slower – to open up. Adobe is one such company, and to consolidate its
| moves it has set up a new site, called simply Adobe Open Source...
Adobe AIR on Linux: Pre-Beta Testers Needed
,----[ Quote ]
| As of today there have only been releases of Adobe AIR for Windows and Mac
| but Adobe is committed to also delivering a version for Linux. This is great
| news for developers like me who use Linux as their primary desktop operating
| system.
Adobe Pushes DRM for Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| Now Adobe, which controls Flash and Flash Video, is trying to change that
| with the introduction of DRM restrictions in version 9 of its Flash Player
| and version 3 of its Flash Media Server software. Instead of an ordinary web
| download, these programs can use a proprietary, secret Adobe protocol to talk
| to each other, encrypting the communication and locking out non-Adobe
| software players and video tools. We imagine that Adobe has no illusions that
| this will stop copyright infringement -- any more than dozens of other DRM
| systems have done so -- but the introduction of encryption does give Adobe
| and its customers a powerful new legal weapon against competitors and
| ordinary users through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

I have a sure-loc supreme that I bought brand new only 3 weeks ago. This sight is absolutely flawless. A 10 out of 10. It has less than 50 shots on it. I thought I wanted to shoot a slide-bar type of sight but I just prefer my pins and I seem to shoot my pins better. That is why i'm selling and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the sight. It is the silver supreme 400 with the 9" bar.It comes with everything shown. I still have all of the paper-work and the boxes that it came in. It has the armored third axis as well. $250 shipped, insured. PM me if your interested.

When the Ocean stared at the Sky in the eyes
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Emanuele Del Bufalo
It was a windy day; a young seagull flew repeatedly over the sea lion, closer and closer, faster and faster. Suddenly the seagull hovered in the air held up by the wind.What happened next was something extraordinary, using its wings like a glider,the young gull approached slowly to the sea lion, which at the same time raised his whole body in the same direction. My first impression was that they would try to touch or look straight into the eyes of each other. But it was only for few seconds, this declaration of love or friendship, disappeared with a decided flapping of wings.
Location: Sea lion colony, Kaikoura, New Zealand, 1 June 2012.

Fall 2009
Instructor: Dr. R. P. Webber
Office and hours: Ruffner 332. MF, 2:00 - 3:30; T, 2:00 - 3:00; and by appointment or coincidence.
Telephone and email: 395-2192; firstname.lastname@example.com
Course description: A study of functions with an emphasis on exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions in order to prepare the student for calculus. 3 credits.
Course objectives: By the end of this course, the student will:
· Be able to solve linear, quadratic, and rational inequalities;
· Graph polynomials, rational functions, trig functions, log, and exponential functions, and the conic sections;
· Understand the definitions of the trig functions as circular angles;
· Evaluate the trig functions at standard values without use of a calculator;
· Understand the role of logarithms and exponential functions in manipulating and solving equations;
· Recognize the basic conic sections.
Text: Dugopolski, Fundamentals of Precalculus, 2nd edition. Pearson Addison Wesley, 2009. ISBN 0-321-50697-9.
Calculator: A calculator is not required in this course, but a graphing calculator such as the TI-83 will certainly help. It is easy to become too dependent on a calculator. You should think of the calculator as a tool to be used in computationally challenging problems, in approximating solutions, and in verifying results, not as a primary tool for problem solving. I will give specific rules for using or not using calculators on tests.
Course requirements and grading: There will be three tests and one composite quiz grade, of which you may drop one. The resulting three marks, counted equally, will comprise 48% of your course grade. Your composite class participation grade will count 15%, your writing assignment(s) will count 15%, and the final exam will count the remaining 22%. The grading scale goes by tens: 90 - 100, A; 80 - 90, B; 70 - 80, C; 60 - 70, D; below 60, F.
Homework: Problems will be assigned regularly, and everyone is expected to do them. They will not be collected without warning, and it is your responsibility to do all of the assigned problems. Feel free to work with others on the homework problems, and ask me about problems that you cannot solve.
Quizzes: There will be frequent daily quizzes. Quizzes are always at the beginning of the period, take about ten minutes, and are open book and notes. Often they consist of a homework problem or two. No excuses will be accepted for missing quizzes, and there will be no makeups. You will receive a grade of 0 for missed quizzes, regardless of the reason for absence. However, you may drop one quiz grade. The remaining quiz grades will be counted equally to compute your composite quiz grade.
Class participation: Often you will be asked to work in groups in class. Working in small groups of three or four, you will be asked to solve a problem and present your results to the class. Each group will receive a grade on that day's work. Each member of the group will receive the same grade, except a member who is absent, who will receive a grade of 0. Missed class participation sessions cannot be made up, but you will be allowed one absence from a class participation session without penalty. All remaining group grades will be counted equally to determine your composite group grade.
Writing assignment: As a general education course, MATH 164 will require more writing than some non-general education mathematics courses. There will be at least one writing assignment in this course. It will be graded both for factual correctness and for writing style. More details and a grading rubric will be provided with the assignment.
Attendance: Your attendance is expected at all classes. Makeup tests will be given reluctantly, and then only upon presentation of a doctor's excuse. Makeup tests are always more difficult than regular tests, regardless of the reason for absence. You may not make up missed class participation sessions or quizzes.
You need to be on time for each class. Coming into class late is disruptive to other students and to the teacher. In addition, quizzes are given at the start of the period, and no extension is given for tardiness. Similarly, you should not leave during class, even temporarily. Get your drink of water before class starts. Leaving briefly and then returning is rude and disconcerting to others in the class and to the teacher.
Honor code: I subscribe to the Longwood honor system, which, among other things, assumes you do not cheat and that you take responsibility to see that others do not. Infractions will be dealt with harshly. A student who is convicted of an Honor Code offense involving this class will receive a course grade of F, in addition to any penalties imposed by the Honor Board.

It seems that America's greatest threats are not coming from overseas, these days. The enemies within are the most troubling. Our most basic of rights are being eroded, as we speak, and very few people seem to care.
If you disagree with the president, you're a racist. If you don't want government-run healthcare, you don't care about the poor. Instead of having an honest discussion about the issues, the left wing zealots play the race card in an attempt to silence those who disagree. Not to mention the harassment of conservative groups by the IRS, which is supposed to be a non-partisan entity. Even now, there is a bill in the Senate to limit free "political" speech, when it comes to individuals. It is sponsored by a majority of Democrats, led by the ever-vile tyrant, Harry Reid. It has no chance of passing, but just the fact that it was even introduced is troubling enough.
Also, with every new shooting, there are more calls for gun control from the left. Taking away everyone's guns is not the answer, nor is a restriction on concealed carry permits. The true problem is not the guns, it's a breakdown in the morals of our society. We've had the right to bear arms since the founding of this country, but only in the last 15 or 20 years have these mass shootings become commonplace. Everything from graphic video games to movies has taught our kids that people are "disposable". They see the killings, but they don't see the other side of the equation: the consequences for their actions, both for themselves and for the families of the people they kill. Taking away guns from law-abiding citizens will do nothing to fix this problem.
Thirdly, the never-ending quest from atheists and their lawyers to erase God from every corner of our society. Not so much with Islam, or any other religion, but only Christianity. Make no mistake, there is an assault on Christianity in this country. Everything from banning prayer in schools, sporting events, and government functions, to the federal government trying to force privately-owned, Christian-oriented businesses to provide contraception coverage (including the "morning-after" pill) for their employees.
Your rights are under attack. The federal government is working its way into your homes, your church, and your private life. It is not fear-mongering, it is the truth. The "hope" and "change" that they sold you in the last two elections may not turn out to be the kind you wanted.

Grade Center
(See how to back up the grade center here.)
The Grade Center is a dynamic tool that interconnects with other tools in Blackboard such as tests and assignments. It exports and imports information to and from Excel, allows instructors to manually enter grades, supports methods for weighing grades, distributes grades to students with the "My Grades" link on the Course Menu, and facilitates communication with students about their progress.
Because the Grade Center is a fairly complex set of features and demands the highest level of accuracy, the CTL provides workshops every semester that focus solely on the Grade Center. (See our Events Calendar.)

Intel Corp to phase out "Centrino"
Intel Corp plans to phase out some of its brands, including the "Centrino" for computers, to focus on fewer top names as the chip maker expands into new markets such as mobile devices. Santa Clara-based Intel said on Wednesday it will stop using "Centrino" to refer to personal computers beginning next year. Instead, it will use the brand to refer to WiFi- and WiMAX-based wireless products. The world's top chip maker also said it would phase out sub-categories of its Core brands." "We have a complex structure with too many platform brands, product names, and product brands, and we've made things confusing for consumers and IT buyers," Intel spokesman Bill Calder wrote on a company blog.

SNAP benefits reduced
WASHINGTON, D.C. - If you receive federal food assistance, you can expect smaller monthly benefits starting next week.
On November 1, the federal government is making cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP or food stamps.
The cuts are happening because the stimulus package money used to pay for it ran out.
For a family of four receiving the maximum benefit, the cut will be about $36 per month.

A national survey finds that 89% of children in home-based child care settings regularly watch television at day care, an average of 1.5 hours a day.
Although the amount of television that young children watch at home has been well documented, no study until now has examined how much television preschool children watch in day care.
A study by Dimitri A. Christakis, MD, MPH, Michelle M. Garrison, MPH and Frederick J. Zimmerman, PhD, published in the October issue of Communication Reports, examines the amount of television viewing in home-based and in center-based child care programs. Using data from the nationally representative Profile of Child Care Settings study, the authors found that children in 89% of home-based child care settings and in 35% of center-based child care settings regularly watch television.
In those settings in which children regularly watch television, it is on for an average of about 1 hour per day in center-based care, and for about 1.5 hours per day in home-based settings.
Furthermore, for children in home-based child care settings, approximately 30% of the programming is "non-educational." To put that amount of television viewed into perspective, it is worth noting that prior estimates for children this age based on parental reports of home viewing, were about 1.5 hours a day (Rideout et al., 2003).
Previous estimates may substantially underestimate the total television exposure for many children.
There are reasons to be concerned about television viewing in this context, the authors report. There is some evidence that heavy early television viewing may adversely affect children's diet, physical activity, aggression and ability to pay attention.
Moreover, early childhood environments represent important opportunities for socialization and for adult-directed learning.
"Given the opportunities for interactions with peers, teachers and other educational activities — which is what is expected of high-quality child care — it is disappointing to determine that passive viewing of a screen is displacing some of this rich stimulation," said Dr. Christakis.
"While some viewing has proven educational value, it is generally agreed that even the best programs are not the equal of thoughtful adult interactions."
Dimitri Christakis, MD, MPH, is a pediatrician at the Children's Hospital in Seattle; associate professor in the School of Medicine at the University of Washington, and director of the Child Health Institute. Author of more than 100 original research articles, a textbook of pediatrics and The ELEPHANT IN THE LIVING ROOM: Make Television Work for Your Kids, he has appeared on CNN, NPR, Today, CBS News, ABC News, and NBC News
Fred Zimmerman, PhD, is associate professor in the University of Washington's School of Public Health and director, with Dr. Christakis, of the Child Health Institute. Dr. Zimmerman has published widely in the fields of developmental economics and child health and co-authored The ELEPHANT IN THE LIVING ROOM: Make Television Work for Your Kids. His research has been featured on Good Morning America, NBC News, the BBC, and in The New York Times and USA Today.
Michelle Garrison, PhD, is an epidemiologist and research consultant at the Child Health Institute in Seattle. Her research interests focus around child and adolescent mental health.
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation.

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Environmental and occupational exposure to toxic metals is assessed through whole blood analysis. Due to advances in measurement technology, clinical laboratories that perform whole blood analyses are moving away from single-element methods towards methods capable of measuring panels of toxic elements and species. NIST is providing values for inorganic arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), total mercury (THg), inorganic mercury (iHg), methylmercury (MeHg) and ethylmercury (EtHg) in two levels of the existing Standard Reference Material (SRM) 955c Toxic Elements in Caprine Blood to support method development and provide quality assurance of clinical measurements of toxic metals in blood. SRM 955c will serve as a replacement for SRM 966 Toxic Elements in Bovine Blood.
NIST issued SRM 966 Toxic Elements in Bovine Blood in 2000. SRM 966 was originally produced at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and comprises a two level material containing Cd, Pb, THg, iHg, and MeHg. As a consequence of the demand for this reference material, the stock of SRM 966 is rapidly running out. The CDC no longer has the capability to produce a renewal batch of this SRM. An alternative replacement material is SRM 955c Toxic Elements in Caprine Blood, which was issued as Led in Caprine Blood by NIST in 2007 with support from the CDC. SRM 955c is heavily relied upon for quality assurance of clinical blood Pb measurements, and is certified for Pb at four concentration levels: a base level and three progressively elevated levels. When SRM 955c was produced at the Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health (NYDOH), it was also spiked with As, Cd, iHg, MeHg, and EtHg. EtHg is a concern because it is a metabolite of Thimersol which has been used as a preservative in vaccines and is being studied in the proposed link between autism and Hg exposure. The toxicity of Hg is highly dependent on the chemical form, necessitating measurement of the specific Hg species. As, Cd, and THg are typically analyzed together as a "heavy metal screen" for diagnosis of acute poisoning utilizing a multi-element analysis method, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Half of all blood analyses in the U.S. are performed using ICP-MS. SRM 955c will serve multiple measurement communities and is the first available whole blood CRM with EtHg and As values.
Additional Technical Details:
New ICP-MS-based technologies are being utilized to measure As and Hg species in SRM 955c, Level 1 and Level 3. Gas chromatography (GC) coupled with ICP-MS is being used to measure IHg, MeHg, and EtHg. A GC-ICP-MS chromatogram obtained for SRM 955c Level 3 is shown in Figure 1. Quantification schemes based on speciated isotope dilution and matrix-matched external calibration have already been developed for iHg and MeHg in blood, and research is being conducted to extend these methodologies to the determination of EtHg. Collision cell technology (CCT) ICP-MS coupled with standard additions is being used to mitigate the effects of matrix-based interferences that make it difficult to measure As. Results for the newly developed CCT ICP-MS method will be compared to results obtained using neutron activation analysis (NAA). A highly sensitive and accurate method based on isotope dilution cold vapor (ID CV) ICP-MS developed at NIST is being used to measure THg. The accurate determination of Cd by ID ICP-MS is complicated by matrix-based interferences that cannot be resolved instrumentally and matrix separation is often required. However, separation procedures can lead to greater uncertainty from contamination. As a result, separations were not used for prior measurement of Cd in SRM 966. Research is being conducted to develop a separation scheme for Cd in SRM 955c at reduced contamination levels.

Hyman Continues Ambitious Climb
Winning Canadian Junior Hockey League Player Of The Year, Zach Hyman will play at University of Michigan.
Wednesday, 08.24.2011 / 4:00 PM ET / News
Florida Panthers
|Zach Hyman (#50) takes a face-off during a scrimmage at Panthers Development Camp in July.
Nineteen-year-old Zach Hyman can cross a lot of things off his to-do list. Drafted into the NHL, check. Canadian Junior Hockey League Player of the Year, check. Publish a book, check. How's that for ambitious?
Born in Toronto in 1992, Hyman began playing hockey at a young age, mostly due to his father's encouragement. Hyman's father, Stuart, owner of the Hamilton Red Wings is credited as his "biggest help."
"He put me in at a young age," said Hyman, the Panthers fifth round pick (123rd overall) in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. "I did a little bit of figure skating and lots of hockey. I have [my dad] to thank for a lot of things. I really appreciate all he's done."
Eventually, Hyman wound up playing for his father's team, the Hamilton Red Wings in 2008, where he quickly became captain. Despite off-color comments from teammates and random people alike, Hyman used his talent as a way of silencing his critics.
"On the ice, kids would be like, 'Oh, your dad owns the Red Wings. That's the only reason you're on the team.' And then I started to dominate the league, and the kids started to shut up," said Hyman.
This past season alone, Hyman scored 42 goals and posted 60 assists, helping to earn him the title of CJHL Player of the Year.
"It was a great honor," said Hyman. "I was humbled and still am. A lot of the guys who won in the past are really top NHL guys, so hopefully I can do the same when I get to the NHL. I want to be a big impact. And help win a Stanley Cup for the Panthers."
Hyman, was also successful in the academic realm. He was slated to attend Princeton this fall but de-committed after learning that head coach Guy Gadowsky was leaving for a job at Penn State. With Zach once again "up for grabs" he became a highly sought-after free agent and was wooed by schools like Boston College, Boston University, and Minnesota-Duluth.
"It was a crazy two weeks," Hyman said of his experience as a free agent. "Not knowing where I was going and schools calling me up and calling Mr. Luce. I visited a bunch of schools in Boston, went to Florida and Denver and schools all around the US."
Hyman's final decision, however, is to attend Michigan, where he will become the third Wolverine to have won the CJHL Player of the Year award, following Mike Comrie (1998) and Jeff Tambellini (2002).
"Everything from the hockey to the campus to the academics is set up for each individual to develop and succeed," Hyman said. "There is so much history at Michigan, the coaching staff, the arena. My younger brother went there for a game last year and said they have the best and loudest fans he's ever seen."
Zach is also thankful for the support he received from the Panthers throughout the whole process.
"They thought all the schools were great and at the end I was able to make the decision," said Hyman.
Support from the Panthers continued this year as Hyman attended Development Camp.
"It was a lot of fun," said Hyman of July's camp. "All the staff. Mr. Tallon, Coach Dineen, Mr. Luce…they've all been amazing."
Hyman noted that aside from spending time on hockey skills, the players were entertained during their week in South Florida as well.
"They did a great job with all of the different activities," said Hyman. "We did so many things like going to the beach and watching alligator shows. We were busy almost every day so it was a great experience getting to know the future guys you get to play with. I had a great time."
|Zach poses with his short story Hockey Hero (coutresy Canadian Jewish News)
"I wrote it in seventh grade for a short story competition," noted Hyman. "It won a creative writing award and the teacher said it was really good, so from there I kept on working on it and it turned into this book. It kind of all happened at once."
Zach enjoyed the whole process so much that he's already penned a second book, The Bambino and Me, set to be out by this winter.
When asked what he'd like Panther's fans to know about him, Zach laughed.
"Besides the book thing? I mean, I have four brothers…but the book is probably the most interesting. I think it's pretty unexpected for a hockey player."

War Horse, American Civil War. Traveller's Civil War history parallels his famous master
Robert E. Lee
. Attempts by Lee, astride Traveller, to lead battle charges were discouraged by his men who would surround him, sending him back to the rear, with shouts, "Lee to the rear," knowing the twosome would be the primary target of Union sharpshooters and his death would be detrimental to the South. From the back of his horse, General Lee directed eight major campaigns, observed battles and at times watched his men in humiliating retreats. The equine carried the General during the most of the war...Seven Day Battles before Richmond in 1862, 2nd Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Petersburg, Antietam and Wilderness-Spotsylvania but the ultimate, most humiliating was the conveyance of Lee to Appomattox for the surrender of Confederate armies to General Grant. A sad farewell trip back to his lines followed, with a Union honor guard and finally home to Richmond with shouts of encouragement from Southerner's, hats removed, lining his route. Lee's favorite horse was given at birth in Greenbrier County, Virginia, the name "Jeff Davis" and became Confederate property by usual Quartermaster procurement of horses. Officers at that time were required to furnished their own animals. In this manor, the horse came into the General's possession in 1862 with a new name, "Traveller" (spelled English style double "L"). The horse proved himself with excellent qualities necessary for a warhorse, great stamina and difficult to frighten by gunfire. However, he was not always reliable, during the Second Battle of Bull Run, the horse bolted, resulting in severe injuries to the hands of the General. Lee was forced to direct that campaign from an ambulance. Traveller was not the only horse in the General's stable. "Lucy Long" was the primary backup and remained with the Lee family passing at age 33. "Richmond" was killed during the Battle of Malvern Hill. Others were "Brown-Roan" and "Ajax." In the postwar, Traveller had a comfortable retirement at little Washington College (Washington & Lee University) at Lexington, Virginia, grazing on the grounds while General Lee performed duties as President. He was again riding Traveller, this time for recreation, with his daughter as a companion astride "Lucy Long." They sometimes with the horses, visited area landmarks such as nearby Natural Bridge. Overnight trips taking days at a time were made to various area towns. Upon the death of Lee, Traveller followed his coffin with the General's boots reversed in the stirrups. A year later, the famous horse was also dead, shot to relieve his suffering form incurable lockjaw the result of stepping on a rusty object. Legacy...After his death, the treatment and odyssey his remains traveled to final disposition near his office door at the Lee Chapel were shameful and reprehensible. Traveller was never prepared by Taxidermist, but was buried intact on the college grounds behind a main college structure. Unscrupulous persons or person, unearthed the remains, bleached the bones to enhance their appearance for exhibitions around the country. A compassionate Richmond journalist purchased the bones and after articulation, returned them to Washington College for display in Brooks Museum. (Robinson Hall). The mounting became vandalized as students carved their initials on the bones. The articulation was moved to the basement museum of the Lee Chapel for safekeeping. After many years, the bones were so deteriorated by exposure necessitating burial in 1971. What remained of the famous horse was placed in a wooden box, then encased in concrete and interred near Lee's office, a few feet away from the family crypt inside, the resting place of his master. In a bit of trivia...The stable where the horse was kept and his life ebbed away, still stands. A tradition continues to this day...the doors remain open in symbolic gesture allowing his spirit to wander freely.

Last Modified: Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 10:55 p.m.
Pardee Hospital Auxiliary
The Pardee Hospital Auxiliary recently presented the hospital with $100,088 for the purchase of medical equipment. A portion of the donation will be used to purchase equipment for the surgical facility expansion currently underway at the hospital, with the remaining funds used for other capital equipment needs. Surgical equipment purchases will include a diamond knife set used for delicate incisions during ophthalmology procedures and a tourniquet system used during orthopedic surgeries involving extremities.
Other areas to benefit from the gift include the hospital's general medical and oncology units, where 16 sleeper chairs will be purchased for patient rooms in 1West, 3 West General and 3 West Oncology. The chairs convert from a recliner to a bed, allowing family members to rest more comfortably. The auxiliary funds will also be used for an emergency supply cart for the Intensive Care Unit.
"I could not even begin to imagine how difficult it would be to operate this hospital without the support of our dedicated auxilians," said Robert P. Goodwin, president and CEO of Pardee Hospital. "We would have a difficult, if not impossible, task trying to fill the shoes of our motivated and caring group of volunteers. We are very appreciative of their support, both financially and in manpower hours."
More than 300 pink and red smocked volunteers contribute in excess of 35,000 hours of service each year at Pardee, providing assistance at the information desk, delivering mail and offering clerical support. The auxiliary also operates a gift shop, flower cart and the Garden Cafe. This most recent gift was one of many made by the auxiliary throughout decades of service to the hospital. For information on becoming a member of the Pardee Hospital Auxiliary, call 698-7187.
Four Seasons HospiceandPalliative Careand Brian Center Collaborate
Four Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care and the Brian Center are dedicating a two-room suite in the Brian Center nursing facility as hospice beds for patients and their families.
"This effort is an ideal example of how these two organizations are working together to meet the health care needs in our community," said Bill Lapsley, Hospice board president.
"Four Seasons Hospice and the Brian Center have been collaborating on this project for four months now," said Paul Shogren, administrator for the Brian Center. "This is a wonderful way to offer enhanced health care services in our facility."
This is an avenue for Four Seasons Hospice to fulfill its mission of bringing compassionate care to those in need, said Chris Comeaux, executive director of Four Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care.
The public is invited to attend a dedication ceremony and reception Monday at the Brian Center at 1870 Pisgah Drive. The reception will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. with the dedication ceremony at 3 p.m. For more information, call Paul Shogren at 693-9796 at the Brian Center or Cathy Buddenberg at Four Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care at 692-6178.

Canada's PM pilloried over climate-change shuffle; rich nations urged to ante up
Bill Miller | November 28, 2007
By Bill Miller • Wednesday, November 28, 2007 - 12:37
Criticism just keeps pouring in.
A United Nations report, native leaders, wildlife officials and the David Suzuki Foundation have all taken issue with Prime Minister Stephen Harper's maneuver last weekend blocking agreement on binding greenhouse emissions targets. Pressure is mounting for Harper to atone when negotiations on a successor to Kyoto convene next month in Bali.

FC Dallas' Dan Hunt: I expect this team to compete for a championship
Dallas Morning News special contributor Steve Hunt caught up with Dan Hunt, vice
president of Hunt Sports Group and interim president of FC Dallas earlier this week. Some more from their discussion.
Schellas Hyndman is entering his fifth year as head coach. How do you think his tenure has gone?
Hunt: I've actually known Schellas since I was seven. Schellas and I have had a long, great relationship.
When a coach takes over a roster with where we were, four and a half years ago now I guess, it needed to be rebuilt. He got us in 2010 to the final and in a game where I thought we probably deserved to win the game. But sometimes it just doesn't go your way. It was such a talented group of players.
Then you look up and see we have two expansion teams that year and lost two very good players in Atiba [Harris] and Dax [McCarty] in the Expansion Draft and that really hurt the roster.
But going into 2011, I think a lot of people still felt we were one of the teams to beat. When David [Ferreira] went down, it all fell apart if you will. But I give coach a lot of credit, he still got us to the playoffs, into the one-game playoff system. We had an unbelievable schedule that year, playing in the CONCACAF Champions League tournament, league games and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. '12 wasn't a good year and I'll be very honest, you can't forecast or predict that you're going to have the injuries we had or the national team call-ups. And yet, he kept us alive and in the chase until the last couple of weeks, which is a huge credit to him.
I would expect this team to compete for a championship. If we get a little bit of luck that we haven't had since 2010 — I think we're due — everybody better look out for this FC Dallas team.

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Pam Holder has one burning question following her son's murder while in state custody at the Augusta Youth Development Campus.
"What is so shocking to me is how could you let it get this far? I'm talking about the adults that manage this. I mean, who hired these people?"
News 12 is investigating that very question: Who's in charge and what's being done when an officer violates the rules?
One officer lost his job for failing to lock the cell doors on the night of Nov. 7. The Department of Juvenile Justice says that allowed the fatal beating of 19-year-old inmate Jade Holder. So far, no criminal action has been taken on Marlon McCreary, the officer accused of not locking those cell doors.
Two more officers and a counselor were also just fired for admittedly violating policy connected to the homicide investigation.
In two years, the DJJ has terminated at least 37 employees, mostly officers, but two supervisors are in that mix, including the director. Beyond the homicide investigation, some terminations were due to illegal contraband, physical abuse, some were even cited as child abuse. In another case, there was an inappropriate relationship between a guard and a youth. But out of all 37 listed, only one officer has faced any criminal charges.
The Augusta YDC is in the middle of an overhaul from the leadership on down.
It began with Jade's beating last month.
"I understand now the denial that people go through when their child dies," explained his mother, Pam. "It's going to take a very long time for me to forgive these people for the injustice that you gave to my child."
DJJ Commissioner Gale Buckner says Jade's homicide investigation is still unfolding.
"I think the lessons that were learned surrounding Mr. Holder's death will help us make sure that this doesn't happen again," she said.
So far, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has charged 17-year-old Michael Everidge with murder -- acharge even the murder victim's mother dismisses.
"Actually, I don't hold the youths that killed my child responsible," Pam said. "I hold the adults up the ladder ... The people that are over the adults that are watching these children. I hold them responsible. "
Buckner took over as the DJJ's leader the week after Jade was killed. Under her watch, five employees have been fired from the Augusta YDC, including Director John Brady. Two assistant directors were demoted and offered transfers; Buckner says she's no longer confident in their leadership abilities.
She says more terminations are possible.
"We will not tolerate anyone bringing contraband into this facility, abusing our youth or abusing each other," Buckner said. "Personnel actions will be swift and certain."
News 12 combed through hundreds of pages of records from the DJJ. It appears that before Buckner took the position, very few officers have faced any discipline beyond termination. Some lost their state-issued law enforcement certification, but that was less than half.
These termination records are from January of 2009 to the week Jade was killed. In those near 24 months we found 33 employees, mostly officers and one assistant director were fired. That includes Officer McCreary, but not the four other recent firings.
Officers Lesa Benton and Antonio Blount were both fired for choking a youth during two separate fights. As a result, one youth involved reportedly had bruises and needed medical care. Benton was fired in 2009 and Blount in April of this year. Neither have been charged.
Both cases were turned over to the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, and both employees still hold their certifications.
We also found five additional officers were fired for physical altercations with youths. One guard, Bobby Harrison, was told in black and white by DJJ officials he had committed child abuse against the youth. He has not been charged with a crime either. Same story for those other officers.
One of those firings wasn't even reported to post officials by the DJJ. Of those that were, POST investigated -- not DJJ -- and two officers' certifications were revoked.
But that does not include Harrison. Technically, he could still be employed as a law enforcement officer in Georgia.
"I am shocked at the corruption that's inside the Augusta facility. How could you let it get this far?" Pam asked. "I mean, who hired these people?"
News 12 found more. Althea Braddy was terminated for an "inappropriate" and unprofessional relationship with a youth. Her certification was revoked but it seems that was the end of the line. Again, no criminal charges were pursued.
News 12 found four more guards were fired for smuggling in contraband from cellphones to illegal drugs, all punishable offenses under Georgia law.
Out of these records, only one officer has been criminally charged. That was officer Shawn Tice. He was fired and investigated by the Richmond County Sheriff's Office for bringing 10 bags of marijuana and a scale to the facility's parking lot.
The DJJ opened the current contraband investigation after former guards and a prison pastor came forward to News 12 in an exclusive report. Buckner admitted to us in this interview that the contraband was there. Now, she's focused on making changes.
"We are doing unannounced task force visits," she said. "We are going in and literally doing shakedowns of our facilities using K-9 units in an attempt to weed out any drugs that have been smuggled into the facility as well as intense searches for cellphones, computers, chargers, cigarettes, any sort of narcotic."
Other guards complained exclusively to News 12 that the Augusta YDC was severely understaffed and officers were working extremely long shifts. Buckner, again, says that was true. She has since hired 25 new employees and more are coming. She also says new training procedures are underway.
"I have many of the youth here that tell me that they do feel safe," Buckner said.
Jade's mother told News 12 if any officers broke any law related to her son's murder, she hopes they will be held criminally responsible.
"I will not stop until i get justice for my child. As you sit home and eat dinner and look at your children, remember what you allowed to happen to someone else's child. You will not forget me. And you will not forget my child. "
News 12's Lynnsey Gardner was in contact with the DJJ Tuesday to include sending along the names in this report and possible statutes that may have been broken under Georgia law such as child abuse, battery, assault, contraband beyond secure guard lines and at the very least, violating their oath of office. So far, questions as to what may have happened in each of these specific cases have not been answered.
Earlier today, the DJJ told us their policy on terminations. They say after an officer is fired, their case is sent to POST. Which again, POST told News 12 they did not receive all of those terminations.
Also quoting DJJ here, "DJJ's Office of Investigation works closely with the appropriate law enforcement agency whenever DJJ employees are suspected of criminality. Agents of the GBI continue to conduct investigative interviews at Augusta YDC."
News 12 obtained the termination letters for the following employees:
- Alexis Almodovar Termination Letter

Endweek News – Colour Me Intrigued, Release Date City and Videos and Trailers
Hey everyone, it is Sunday again and as usual it is time for the News! Last week I epically failed in that I posted the news from the previous two weeks but then completely forgot to post the Colour Me Intrigued, Release Date City and Videos section. That means that actually this week this part of the Endweek News is actually THREE WEEKS worth of stuff as opposed to just one... Yeah I know, failure at it's finest...
However, the normal Endweek News section will just be the news from the past week and I hope to have that uploaded later today as well! Anyway, enough talk! What has been intriguing and awesome in the last three weeks? Check after the jump to find out!
Colour Me Intrigued
Colour Me Intrigued is the section of the Endweek News where I talk about projects and games which have sprung at me and have caught my interest. They tend not to be mainstream games and are the sort of thing which are often hit and miss. But those games which are a hit of these tend to be absolutely awesome. It's all about the interesting, the new, the exciting and the weird! So what caught my eye recently?
First up, you may recall that a while ago I did a small video and an impressions on the indie horror game Slender from Parsec Productions. The game was one of the scariest things I had played in a while, despite there not being much to it, and focuses on the internet myth of the Slenderman. Now a group of modders are in the process of making a Source Mod of Slender and are quoting the Slender game as their main inspiration.
This game will be an, up to, four person co-op game where you and your friends will take on the role of four teenagers dared to look into the myth of the Slenderman and it will involve collecting 15 creepy dolls (it's always dolls...) across two maps: a abandoned hospital and a forest, although there are plans to add in more maps up to a total of eight. The main idea of the game is that it will be as scary as Slender, even though you have people watching your back and helping you out. They say:
"You'll know that the co-op feature in those scenarios don't necessarily deprive the game from scaring the players. The Slenderman will still scare you, even if your friends are watching your back. No direction is safe, no areas are safe. You're vulnerable everywhere."
The game will be using Half-Life 2 as the base for the mod and I am already looking forward to it. If it sounds like the sort of thing which would interest you as well then you should head over to it's ModDB page to show your support for the game. It will hopefully be making an appearance in Q1 next year, so that's something to look forward to already!
Next up, the developers of the recent Game of Thrones RPG, Cyanide Studios, have announced that they are now working on a PC strategy game called Impire which is also due out in Q1 next year. The game will focus around you playing as Báal-Abaddon as powerful demon summoned into the body of an Imp. You then work your way up through the imp ranks and spend time using your demonic underlings to protect your base from heroes and champions of light and all of those silly folk that might interfere with your nefarious deeds.
The game actually sounds, and looks a lot like Overlord from Triumph Studios and as that was a game I absolutely loved playing then I find myself reasonably interested in this one too! For the trailer of what will hopefully be a silly, but fun, game you can check the videos section!
Next up we have two games from the Vancouver Film School's game design program (yeah that one that we've all heard about). First up from the Pixel Pi team is a horror game dubbed a "suspense/survival" game called Pulse. In the game you play as a blind girl who has to find her way through a giant cavern filled with monsters via a Daredevil-type sonar system. The girl throws around forest sprites known as Makos which emit noise and then the noise helps her visualise her surroundings. And of course, the noise also attracts the monsters.
The game actually looks more cartoony and bright and shiny than one would normally associate with a horror game, but there does seem to be a lot of potential in the idea. There is already a free build available for download but people at Pixel Pi have said that they would like to expand beyond that and hone the game further, turning into about four hours of ever-changing gameplay. They also are hoping to have versions available for download on both PC and Mac and via the new Steam Greenlight system. Honestly, I am all over this thing!
The other game from Vancouver Film School seems a little less innovative but is still looks pretty cool; The Mask of Qi. Coming from Team Kronk the game is a third-person action and platforming style game which features gliding and hitting things. While the Mask of Qi doesn't strike all the same chords that Pulse does it does look like it could be fun and once again is available for free download (or one can play a low resolution in-browser version).
Both of these games have trailers which you can check out in the videos section!
Next up we have another game by developers The Chinese Room who are fast becoming more well known for their innovative games. They are the same company bringing us Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and gave us Dear Esther earlier this year. This time the game is called Everybody's Gone to the Rapture but it's a little closer to Dear Esther than another game which famously involves Rapture... The game will be in real time and is set in rural Shropshire an hour before the world ends. It will be set in a large map which will take 20 minutes to traverse diagonally and will feature six characters, although it seems that these "characters" might not even be people and were described as "kind of memory traces of people that were there". Riiiiiiight...
Unlike in Dear Esther you will be able to interact with the game and your actions and interactions will have an effect on the world around you. You also, as the game is set in real time, will only have an hour to play the game and discover all you can before the world will then end. And then you have to play it again.
Honestly this is precisely the sort of thing which belongs in this section. It sounds intriguing but also pretty bizarre and I'm not sure how much fun it will be, I mean you play the game for an hour and then you die? Well, it's still one to keep an eye on folks! You can follow the game here at TheChineseRoom.
Next up we have the game Maia from indie developer Simon Roth. The game will focus around you playing as a group of colonists on a new world where you will have to excavate underground and build you base there to escape the hostile surface world. You must mine for materials and minerals in order to expand your colony and you will need to build houses, find sources of food, water and power and build defences for your colonists. All in all, it sounds pretty damn cool! There isn't much to go on yet other than a few screen-shots which show a 70's style sci-fi world (with dark humour apparently) but the idea of the game is pretty cool. You can head over to the website to find out more and to check out the screenshots in question (although I will warn you that the interface of the website is really annoying...).
And last, but certainly not least, in this weeks extravaganza of "woah this looks cool" is a first-person survival game coming from Rock, Paper, Shogtun writer Jim Rossignol no less, and his indie gaming group: Big Robot. The game takes places in procedurally generated and very British moors and involves running and fighting a bunch of robotic poachers and their robotic dogs. Sir, You are Being Hunted was described by Rossignol as "[combining] elements of my favourite things: exploration, AI interaction, survival, robots, hot drinks, and blends them into a rich pixelly pulp".
While it isn't due out until next year at some point I have already made a massive tick in my "things-to-keep-an-eye-on" list. Also! Be sure to check out the trailer down below which quite makes one wish for a more English style of game than those rapscallions over in the colonies keep delivering...
Release Date City
While the previous section is full of the intriguing and the exciting. This section can be full of whatever it needs to be. It's all about the release dates of various games as they are narrowed down by their respective developers and publishers. Nothing too exciting, but important nonetheless!
A couple of weeks ago saw the release of the DLC Cold Stream for Left 4 Dead 2. The DLC's long-awaited release contains five maps: Crash Course; Death Toll; Dead Air; Blood Harvest and Cold Stream and is available on PC, Mac and (after a little trouble with the release version) Xbox 360.
Next up we have Blizzard finally announcing the impending release date of the next expansion for their giant MMO World of Warcraft. Featuring a new continent, a new race (the first completely new one) the Pandaren, a complete overhaul of the talent systems and of course new raids, areas and thousands of new items and quests Mists of Pandaria will be released on the 25th of September for both Mac and PC and will probably cost around £29.99.
Next up we have Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 from Namco Bandai which has been delayed from it's previous release date of the 21st of August all the way back to the 15th of January next year! Some delay...
2K Games have finalised the release date of their own game XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The strategy game will now be releasing on the 12th of October on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. It also will be released a few days earlier on the 9th in US, as usual.
The Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition's release date is also fairly soon and will be coming to PC on the 18th of September this year, Beamdog have announced.
Now here is something that actually is rather interesting... it would appear that EA have announced a new Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel which will re-set the whole game world and will have a "more intense, mature, and grittier tone". I debated giving this it's own news-post but as the second one was so completely disappointing I've decided it's just not really worth it... yet... The game will be released sometime in March next year.
And finally, for those of you purchasing Assassin's Creed 3 on PC you'll be pleased to know that it will actually arrive less than a month after the console versions (which is the quickest any AC game has ever managed). You'll all be able to kill and murder without thought or apprehension on the 23rd of November! Let's get stabby with it!
Trailers and Videos
So... So... Many videos... Holy shit man... I don't even know how you can possibly get through them all... Rather than speak much about them I'll just give you a list and then let you jump down to them.
If at any stage you feel your brain starting to melt from too much information and/or too much awesome I'd suggest you jump to the bottom where we have our song of the week! It'll put you back in the mood to keep at this backlog!
