Jul 5, 2013The extent of your enjoyment will largely hinge on whether you view 400 Days as an odd footnote to an incredible first season, or as the prologue to an even higher-stakes follow up this Fall.
Jul 15, 2013This two-hour episode introduces players to a quintet of new characters, individual survivors who through random chance spend at least a little time in or around a lonely countryside gas station and diner during the first 400 days of the outbreak.
Jul 5, 2013A fantastic return of The Walking Dead, letting Telltale experiment with form without losing any of the magic.
Jul 3, 2013Even though you'll never spend more than 30 minutes with any of the characters, you'll still find that you're invested in their well-being.
Jul 5, 2013400 Days shows the same strengths as the whole first season: The decision are painful! The merciless fight for survival still is depicted brutally honest. Nonetheless this interlude lacks challenge and freedom of action.
Sep 10, 2013By telling five different shorter stories Talltale manages to accelerate the pace of the The Walking Dead series. It has its complications but mostly feels fresh and exciting. 400 Days may not be as well written or as emotionally resonant as the episodes in season one but as an appetizer for the upcoming second season it works very well.
Jul 8, 2013The Walking Dead: 400 Days is a good expansion, but definitely not good enough. This DLC is very short and does not use the full potential of new characters (there isn't enough time to care for any of them). What's more, every piece of the game allows to play with the gameplay mechanic in different ways. The most important thing are the dialogues and attempts to introduce character in a very short time span. All in all (despite its flaws) 400 Days is a must buy for fans of the series that want to continue the story.

It's a great deal of fun, I can't recommend this DLC enough and I'm frankly stoked for future instalments of 'The Walking Dead' from Telltale!… Expand

If I would rate the chapters, this is my opinion, beginning from the best: Vince, Wyatt, Russel, Bonnie and Shel. If I think about my choices here I can say that they are motivated by the depth of which I felt involved, both in my identification with the characters and impact on the chapter. Bonnie's and Shel's chapter illustrate my point. I rated this chapter relatively low because I didn't really feel connected with the characters because of the lack of character building (compare with Vince's episode). It's cool that Telltale delivers new content, but they try to compensate for the shortness of the chapters by incorporating at least one hard choice in them. At least, that's what they aimed to do. In Bonnie's and Shel's case, there sure were decision that would have had real emotional repercussions (for the player), but the potential strength of these decisions is minimized by the lack of character building and identification (especially in Shel's chapter). So Telltale has to choose between character building (which requires serene scenes) and some action too (to keep some players from getting bored), but I think they should have focused on character building (like with Vince) because the climax of the chapter (the most important part as you wish, and the part by which most of the players will rate the chapter in my opinion) depends upon character building and identification. I don't say the chapters are no good, because Telltale really deserved props for sucking the player in on such short notice, but some change of focus in certain chapter would have made it an overall better product, more worthy of the expensive price tag (now 5 EUR; January 2014). All in all, it would have been better if Telltale deleted 2 chapters and dug more into the other.
Another thing now, what's great about these five different points of view is the diversity of situations and character types, something you didn't have in Season One. After finishing, what I also would like is some more insight in how the characters in the end decided to accept or decline a certain proposition, to better see where and how I impacted this. A positive note to end with: it's sweet to see controller support, and it really fits the game better than a mouse.… Expand
Oct 16, 2013The writing, the art style, the atmosphere, the tough decisions all the things that made The Walking Dead The Game so great are still thereThe writing, the art style, the atmosphere, the tough decisions all the things that made The Walking Dead The Game so great are still there in 400 Days, but what's lost is a sense of investment in the characters and their struggles. Because their stories are so short, you don't really get a feel for character development, so while the stories and characters are quite good, it's tough for me, the player, to emotionally connect to any of them the way I did to Lee, Clementine, Kenny, and even lesser characters in TWD Game. But the Shel chapter, the fact that your decisions will affect Season 2, and the very reasonable $5 price tag make it well worth your time.… Expand
Jul 4, 2013I adore Telltale's Walking Dead game. I convinced all of my close friends to buy, and play through it just so we could talk about the story.I adore Telltale's Walking Dead game. I convinced all of my close friends to buy, and play through it just so we could talk about the story. It is one of the few stories in gaming that's really, really engaged me. I was also really impressed with the way they handled the idea of episodic gaming. The way each episode ended was perfect for a continuing story, and for 2 or 3 hours every two months they had my complete, undivided attention.
When I saw them announce at Sony's 2013 E3 conference that there was going to be a bridging episode between the first and second season, I was immediately on board. When it came up on Steam, I immediately purchased it.
After 2.5 hours of playing, I can honestly say I wasn't satisfied.
(I apologize if you consider describing the structure as spoilers; but I will be absolutely spoiler-free in terms of story)
The structure of the episode is to break everything up into small, succinct stories each with their own cast of characters. This is a fairly impressive task that they came up with a bunch of scenarios; but I feel like the execution was poor. All of the decisions felt very contrived, some of the voiceover was extremely weak, and by the end of it, I didn't want to play anymore. I had to force myself through the last two scenarios because I had nearly ceased caring by that point.
On my Macbook Pro (2011), there were a lot of framerate issues, as well as some buggy graphics and really janky movement issues. I would rather have played it on my PC, and maybe those issues are fixed there; but this happens to be where my save lives, and at that moment in time I didn't feel like migrating it haha. Though those don't affect the story/writing at all, it impacted my experience.
I'll sum it up here and say that this episode seems like it could have some interesting bearing on the coming season; but I found my experience with it to be fairly negative. That is not to say it isn't "good," the writing quality is still pretty good; but I felt no connection to any of the scenarios.
I gave this game 3/5 because I feel that the quality is there, it just really didn't appeal to me and there were some things I really disliked about it.… Expand

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
A family in the Pictish tribe of ancient Scotland was the first to use the name Cairnie. They lived on the lands of Cardney in Perthshire.
The surname Cairnie was first found in Perthshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt) former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
In medieval Scotland, names were more often spelled according to sound than any regular set of rules. An enormous number of spelling variations were the result. Over the years, the name Cairnie has been spelled Cairney, Cairnie, Cardney, Cairnie and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Cairnie research. Another 149 words (11 lines of text) covering the years 1320 and 1546 are included under the topic Early Cairnie History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
More information is included under the topic Early Cairnie Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
In such difficult times, Ireland, Australia, and North America looked like better homes for many Scots. The trips were expensive and grueling, but also rewarding, as the colonies were havens for those unwelcome in the old country. That legacy did not die easily, though, and many were forced to fight for their freedom in the American War of Independence. The Scottish legacy has resurface in more recent times, though, through Clan societies, highland games, and other organizations. Immigration and passenger lists have shown many early immigrants bearing the old Scottish name of Cairnie: John Cairney arrived in New York in 1836.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Ad alta
Motto Translation: To high things.
Other References
The Cairnie Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Cairnie Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Leech et al. present a connectionist algorithm as a model of (the development) of analogizing, but they do not specify the algorithm's associated computational-level theory, nor its computational complexity. We argue that doing so may be essential for connectionist cognitive models to have full explanatory power and transparency, as well as for assessing their scalability to real-world input domains.

A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is blocked. Without blood and the oxygen it carries, part of the heart starts to die. The medical name for a heart attack is myocardial infarction, or MI.
A heart attack is often the result of coronary artery disease, in which fatty deposits called plaque (say "plak") build up inside the heart arteries. When plaque breaks open or ruptures, it can form a clot that blocks blood flow to the heart muscle.
Quick treatment that restores blood flow to the heart can help save lives.

The North York Moors National Park will be protected from fracking unless there are "exceptional circumstances", ministers have announced.
The policy was unveiled on Monday as the latest bidding process for shale companies seeking licences to explore for oil and gas was opened.
The Government has committed to going "all out for shale", claiming development of the gas and oil resource is needed to improve energy security, boost jobs and the economy and bring down energy prices.
But opponents say it causes disruption and damaging development in the countryside, can cause minor earthquakes and the risk of water pollution, and that exploiting new oil and gas resources is not compatible with tackling climate change.
Ministers have unveiled new guidance which means applications for developments in National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, World Heritage Sites and the Broads should be refused other than in "exceptional circumstances and in the public interest".
The Department of Energy and Climate Change said where an application in these areas is refused and the developer launches an appeal, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles will consider whether to make the final decision himself to ensure the policy is being properly applied.
Business and energy minister Matthew Hancock said: "Unlocking shale gas in Britain has the potential to provide us with greater energy security, jobs and growth.
"We must act carefully, minimising risks, to explore how much of our large resource can be recovered to give the UK a new home-grown source of energy.
"The new guidance published will protect Britain's great National Parks and outstanding landscapes, building on the existing rules that ensure operational best practices are implemented and robustly enforced."
The licences which can be applied for provide the first step to start drilling but do not give an absolute agreement to drill. Planning permission and permits from the Environment Agency will be required for further drilling.

Indy 500
By A.J. Foyt
The Indianapolis 500 is the world's most famous race and because of that, the questions raised beforehand took on a greater importance. Sunday's race delivered answers.
Will the Chevrolets dominate the race like they did in qualifying? The Hondas came alive in this race and not only gave the Chevys a run for the money, the Hondas took the money and the Borg Warner trophy with a one-two finish by Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon.
Will the Lotus-powered cars, due to their lack of speed, be a danger to the rest of the field? They were retired by the officials before it became an issue. It took a while to get one of the drivers off the track but I think he wanted to make his race last as long as he could.
Will race director Beaux Barfield do a good job in officiating the most famous race in the world? He handled a variety of situations with consistency, with one notable exception. The restart near the end had some drivers complaining that Tony Kanaan jumped the start – he went from fifth to second by turn 1 (but the crowd loved it).
Will the new cars provide the protection they were designed to give? There were some hard-hitting accidents, and one spectacular accident (ours), and all of the drivers walked away—including mine.
My driver Mike Conway seemed to be having fun in the No.14 ABC Supply Honda car. I thought he had a shot at winning! He started 29th but he didn't stay there very long. He kept passing cars and pretty soon he was in the top 10. He was driving a helluva race and the ABC Supply crew was giving him fast and solid pit stops.
Then in a split second, it wasn't fun anymore. On lap 77, he came into the pit box too fast. When he went to angle in and then angle out, the car didn't respond. It came too close to the wall and took down a couple of crew members. They were bruised but not badly hurt. In fact they picked themselves up, did a full stop and sent him on his way, not realizing in all the upset that the right front wing had been damaged.
What wasn't apparent when Mike left the pits became very clear to him as he sped by us on the frontstretch. It was an "Oh $#*!" moment that drivers hate. He saw the right front endplate sticking up in the air as he approached turn 1.
With Will Power at speed and closing fast, Conway knew he didn't want to back off too much. That could be bad. So he eased off the throttle going into turn 1, caught the car once but the second time he couldn't. He spun in the short chute and Power, with nowhere to go, hit the 14 car, launching it into the catch fence. Power slid along the wall underneath him.
The cars did their job, but Mike and Will were lucky to walk away from that one. I'm sure the INDYCAR technical team is analyzing ways to improve the current design.
As dramatic as that end to our race was, my other car, the No. 41 ECat (an electric bike company in case you're wondering)/ABC Supply Honda driven by rookie Wade Cunningham went out quietly. I felt bad for him because it turned out that a broken valve spring put him out of the race early—41 laps. Retiring early is hard on the rookies; it was especially hard on Wade who worked so long to get there. He won three times at Indy in the Firestone Indy Lights Freedom 100 race but this was the race that really mattered to him.
He started 26th, jumped up to 24th, got shuffled back to 28th and was making his way to the front when the problems started. We tried a few things, thinking it was in the ignition and replacing the coil which led to a funny moment.
Sitting in the car, race strategist Larry Curry told Wade, "We're going to change the coil." Wade replied, "I'm not a rocket scientist but how is changing the oil going to help?" "Coil, Wade, we're changing the coil," Curry answered.
The thing about Indy is that when it's your day, it's your day. Franchitti spun in the pits (he got tagged) and came back to win. I think back to my own wins and it could have gone either way-heck I ran out of fuel in '77 and still won. I should have won in '75 and '76 but the weather shortened those races so I finished third and second.
The other thing about Indy is that when it comes down to those last laps, drivers go for it. They throw the percentage moves out the window and think only about winning.
Takuma Sato tried to pass Franchitti with two laps to go with a risky pass going into turn 1. It ended with Sato against the wall crying foul and Franchitti sailing on by to win his third Indy 500.
Once again, the line from ABC's Wide World of Sports "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" applied to the most famous race in the world as it has so many times in the past 100 years.
It's what keeps us and the fans coming back for more.

My husband is a computer tech and works for a local bank, and he tells me that banks HATE Halloween because of the possibility of someone walking in with a mask (which wouldn't seem strange on Halloween, right?) and robbing the bank. They actually have signs on the door of their bank on Halloween that state that all masks must be removed before entering...lol
I love the spooky sounds, the rustling leaves, the cool night air, and the ominous feel of the unknown that the evening seems to hold. The fun, scary decorations, the signs of harvest - corn stalks, pumpkins, jack-o'-lanterns, black cats, bats, witches, and let's not forget the CANDY - all bring back fond memories of childhood. As an adult, I get just as much fun from watching the kids enjoy that same festive feeling that I held as a kid. It's fun to be scared SAFELY. :)
So on with today's Blogger's Challenge. Today's challenge was to create something for Halloween. Since I have already done all of my Halloween cards and gifts, I thought that I would make something that I could use. I created this fun Votive-Card from the August/September issue of Technique Junkies Newsletter. For direction to this great votive candle card and other great techniques and projects, why not subscribe to Pat Huntoon's Technique Junkies Newsletter. This project was fast and easy, and the best part is that if I wanted to (which I don't because I'm keeping this one), I could easily fold it up and mail it in a standard sized envelope. Not only is this a great project for Halloween, but can be suited for any occasion or holiday with a change of stamps and sentiments which can be added to the 4 side panels (2 front & 2 on the back)
Whether you use a real candle, or one of the battery operated candles (my favorite), this votive holder illuminates an eerie glow to add to the spooky Halloween mood. I tried to get a picture of the project in the dark with a candle, but just couldn't get a good picture. All the more reason to make one of your own and see for yourself how wonderfully they work.

DARTMOUTH — Dartmouth Post 307 let one slip away Friday night against last-place New Bedford Post 1 in American Legion District 9 action at Paul Walsh Field in New Bedford.
Post 307 was just one out away from locking up a 4-3 win in the bottom of the seventh, but Post 1 pushed across the tying run, and it was on into extra innings. The two teams needed four extra frames to settle up, as they exchanged runs in the 10th, for 5-5, and New Bedford stole away with the win with a walk-off run in the bottom of the 11th.
Even with the loss, Dartmouth maintains their grip on the second place spot in the District 9 South standings with an 8-5 record, a couple games behind first-place Somerset Post 228.
Dartmouth was set to play a game against Taunton Post 103 on Sunday, but that game was postponed; instead, Dartmouth traveled to face Easton Post 7, the top team in the North Division (13-2), in a District 9 Tournament contest.
Dartmouth Post 307 lost that one, 4-2, making their early exit from tournament play.

Parade Technologies Improves Workflow Efficiency with Apps
Bridget Cunningham | December 14, 2015
The demand for better performance and increased accuracy in touchscreen devices is growing. Simulation, a fast and cost-effective approach to product development, helps to meet this goal. With each design modification, colleagues will typically rely on you to run simulation tests, awaiting your feedback before reaching out to customers. As researchers at Parade Technologies (formerly Cypress Semiconductor) have discovered, creating apps and distributing them to colleagues is a valuable way to save time and more effectively communicate with customers.Read More

MEMS resonators are microelectromechanical systems primarily used as sensor elements, filters, and frequency elements. Two common actuation methods for MEMS resonators are piezoelectric actuation and electrostatic actuation. In this blog post, we will discuss the modeling of electrostatically actuated MEMS resonators. When modeling such resonators, you will often come across terms such as equilibrium point, pull-in, pull-in voltage, and time harmonic response of a biased resonator. We will explain these phenomena using a simple representation of an actuator.Read More

Have you ever noticed that being around a happy, enthusiastic friend makes you feel happy too? You can look at mutual induction in a similar way: A current flowing through one circuit creates a current in a nearby circuit. Mutual inductance measures the amount of change required for this effect to take place. Here, we explore using simulation to compute the mutual inductance in different wire coil arrangements.Read More

Wireless power transfer involves the transfer of power between a transmitting and a receiving unit and is used to wirelessly charge electronics like mobile phones and electric cars. While wireless power transfer offers many benefits, there are some challenges that this technology encounters. This is where simulation comes in handy. For instance, some WPT technologies must be oriented in a certain way to ensure proper performance. Today, we'll analyze the impact of orientation on the functionality of two WPT antennas.Read More

Euro Bulls Have Amnesia Attack
Are euro bulls having an attack of amnesia? Or, are they just super optimists?
Last week the bulls sent the euro soaring to a new six-month high against the dollar, not because there was any particularly promising news about the euro-zone economy or euro-zone policy, but all because the U.S. is still debating the need for more quantitative easing.
As Washington watches the U.S. recovery flounder, the Federal Reserve is preparing to inject more liquidity to ensure that a double-dip recession is avoided. Yes, this means that U.S. yields will come under pressure again and the dollar will become less attractive.
But, that doesn't mean that the U.S. currency should become less attractive against the euro. Recent data from Germany may well have shown unemployment falling to an 18-year low and even the latest purchasing managers' index from the euro zone as a whole has proved even more buoyant than expected.
European banks contributed to the pretty euro picture too, lowering their demand for European Central Bank funding from the massive levels they were receiving before. But, as most forecasters agree, the reality check for the euro zone has yet to come. As last Friday's unexpected fall in German retail sales suggests, not only is domestic demand remaining sluggish but overseas demand for euro-zone goods will also stall as the global recovery slows.
In the meantime, last week's massive €50 billion bailout for Ireland's leading banks indicates just how high the financial risks remain. Euro optimists may well point to the slide in euro-zone yield spreads as recent market tensions subside and investors become less concerned about the threat of sovereign debt.
However, it has to be remembered these yields were pushing up to new record highs at the start of last week and that the deficit reduction plans of most peripheral euro-zone debtors have many years to run. The ECB, however, shows little sign of preparing to respond. Unlike the Fed, the ECB is more eager to start mopping up liquidity, even though the implied tightening in monetary policy will prolong the economic slowdown and make life even more difficult for the cash-strapped debtors. Read our coverage of the Europe debt crisis here.
All eyes may have been on Ireland's bank rescue last week, but Spain may well have illustrated the problem even more clearly. While Moody's lowered the country's credit rating, effectively increasing debt servicing costs, the latest purchasing managers' index for manufacturers fell under 50, suggesting that sector of the Spanish economy is back in recession.
So, who is buying the euro? And why? New data from the International Monetary Fund show that foreign central banks have been busy in the last few months, hoping to boost their long-term holdings of the euro as they diversify out of the dollar. Although major central banks have been pursuing this policy for some time, those of less developed nations appear to have joined the party, employing recent heavy inflows from dollar-based investors to buy the single currency.
Apart from that, euro supporters are either speculators hoping to just take a short-term bet on the single currency's latest rally or other investors choosing to ignore the reality of the euro zone's problems.
There are, however, signs that this won't continue. The performance of the euro against the dollar has long been closely correlated to the performance of equities. In recent weeks, though, the two have started to go their separate ways, suggesting that the euro's rally is hardly likely to last if equity markets don't hang on to their gains too.
But, perhaps technical analysis should have the last say. Now that it has broken up and over $1.3700, analysts reckon that the euro could make it as far as $1.4000. After that, it is a different story, with neither the optimists nor the amnesiacs likely to have their way.

Dealing with Health Insurance in Today's World
With the healthcare changes coming along, you may wonder how those changes affect you. That is even more true when you're looking for health insurance. Buying health insurance can be a confusing task, whether you are looking for child only health insurance or healthcare for your entire family. Here are some pointers that might help.
First, do some research about what's available and figure out what you want in a health insurance plan. If you wear glasses, for example, you probably want a plan that offers some kind of vision package. If you have a pre-existing condition, the new healthcare changes give you more options; you just need to find out what those options are. This is going to take some time.
When you have a few things in mind, start looking for how different companies compare with each other. It's not a good idea to buy the first health insurance policy you read about. You need to get a quote from a few companies and start looking at what is included in each policy. Why is one policy premium more than another? That's the kind of information you need to check out.
You might want to talk to family and friends to find out how they dealt with their own health insurance needs. Some people forgo health insurance altogether to save some money in an account to use if they have a problem. You may know someone who has had the same health insurance for 30 years. You may be able to get valuable information from others.
Try to learn some lingo, or at the least some of the informal words used about your medical issues. This can help you explain to a company what is going on regardling your health.
Health insurance can be a bit overwhelming, but if you take it slow and learn the right information, you'll get an affordable policy you're happy with.

Ok. The Captain will be ESTP.
This is a discussion on Star Trek Types yay! within the Guess the type forums, part of the What's my personality type? category; Ok. The Captain will be ESTP. Uhura INtJ...
Ok. The Captain will be ESTP.
Both Captain Kirks would punch you in the face if you talked theory around them.
Don't you think the new Uhura was a little too bold in the love to be an INTJ? Maybe more INFJ??
Meh now i don't agree with myself, INFJs aren't really that outgoing are they. Unless she is borderline I/E
I am liking that line of reasoning better. Sometimes it is hard to type with a strict 4 letter combo. She is definetly a feeler if only cause she emphasized with Spock on the deaths. Bold, driven, organized so I say J. I maintain a mild I/E only because she did go out and socialize, etc..
I am stuck on the S/N though.
Are we talking about the movie, series or BOTH..
If so.. Here is our ENTJ Picard:
Well Picard has never chenged actors so all of the above.
In general we are talking about all actor/characters in all series and movies.
Regarding Picard I just can't see the N side of him. At least not with T
We can talk about both.

On television and radio when they're announcing a program, why do they have the music so loud that you can't understand what the people are saying? Why do they do that? They spend their money to have the advertisements on there but then you can't hear what they're saying.
Why doesn't the Standard Democrat investigate the discrimination in the East Prairie schools? I was just out there with my two little kids and they have a program now for the boys basketball team to raise money. Why don't the restaurants around here have things like that for softball, basketball and the track team and stuff like that? This school discriminates very much against girls. You always say that if you have a story or something with facts to call it in and you will investigate it. Well, this is something that needs investigating. I don't want my little girls to be discriminated against like this when they get into high school. Why don't you investigate this, or is it because it's against the school system? Is that the reason?
The President will order the attack on Iraq. It will happen sometime between February 21 and March 9. If by some chance the President decides not to attack Iraq, I may stoop as low as to becoming a Democrat. Naw........................
In the city court there were two cases with fines imposed for obstructing traffic. What would one be doing to be ticketed for that?
They were obstructing traffic. The dictionary's definition of the word "obstruct" is: to block up, close or fill with obstacles so as to prevent passage; to impede or prevent from progress; to be in the way of, cut off from sight."
It is being said that after Saddam is gone America will have to pay to rebuild the country. This is not true. Iraq has the resources to pay for their own rebuilding. All we have to do is get rid of Saddam. No more palaces. No more weapons. No more killers. There will be enough money to build Iraq to a nation that Americans will want to visit - a nation that will contribute to the world. This country could flourish under a democracy. Not only could they provide for themselves, but they could also help other Islam countries to become less dependent on American money. Saddam has not only killed his own people, he has killed the chance for the Iraqi people to build a nation that they can be proud of. If you do not support the war in Iraq, You should try to live in Iraq. - Bothered Bob
This is to my son. You pulled your stunt at Christmas when you left your family. I'm getting tired of you telling lies, trying to get everyone to blame your "old lady" for what I said and making them believe other things. All you are doing is making fools out of the people in this town for believing what you tell them, not friends. So if you don't believe your ex-wife when I tell her to tell you what I said, then you'll believe me when I put this in the newspaper.
The railroad crossing at the intersection of Malone Avenue and where you turn to go into the park at the airport is rough as a cob. The city needs to do something.

New disposable ChampionChip a big success in US races
Since the launch of the new disposable chip, the chip has proven to be a big success and many US race directors have swapped their races to this new concept.
The disposable chip offers the same accuracy and reliability that timers and race directors have been used to from ChampionChip for decades.
Additional benefits of the disposable chip:
* Low-handling solution:
* Post-race handling is reduced to a minimum because runners do not have to return their chips.
* Eco-friendly solution:
* Despite its name, the disposable chip concept is eco-friendly. Runners who do not want to keep the chips as a memorabilia can deposit them in recycling bins after the race. Chips are then returned to ChampionChip for recycling.
* Sponsor exposure:
* As with other ChampionChip chips, the disposable chip gives race directors the opportunity to put a logo dome on the chips and offer increased and continued exposure for race sponsors. Many racers love the chip and keep it as memorabilia.
* Easy chip attachment:
* Runners have been racing with ChampionChip chips for years and hardly need instructions for attaching the chip to their shoe. This reduces the risk of missed readings due to incorrectly attached chips to almost zero.
In addition to this new disposable chip concept, ChampionChip still promotes the personal yellow chip, which continues to be the most eco-friendly, cost-effective, and no-handling chip solution for any race.
Thousands of athletes already own a personal yellow chip and experience a smoother and quicker registration process at each event. The same personal chip can also be used at permanent TimePoint installations around the world and provide runners with valuable training feedback.
Are you interested in making your events more eco-friendly, less handling-intensive and more cost effective? Contact your local ChampionChip timer.

Bosko makes music with the jungle animals.
As Bosko is hunting in the jungle, a tiger creeps up behind him and gives him a lick. Finding his gun useless, Bosko tries to flee. After being chased and having his body stretched and his head slapped off, Bosko pulls out a flute and begins playing music, which greatly entertains the tiger. Bosko and the tiger play patty cake, dance, and Bosko plays plucks tiger's whiskers and tail like guitar strings. Now thoroughly harmless, Bosko kicks the tiger off a cliff. Bosko then spots two little monkeys playing leap frog. He picks one of them up, but the monkey spits in his eye. Bosko begins spanking the monkey's behind, until he notices the monkey's father looming above him. Acting nonchalant, Bosko offers the ape some chewing gum. The ape accepts, and seems to enjoy the gum very much. They both stretch the gum out of their mouths and begin plucking a tune. The rest of the jungle animals join in: monkeys, ostriches, kangaroos, and more. They play music on themselves, on each other, or with the jungle scenery. A kangaroo plays a tree, monkeys play a giraffe, and an elephant plays its trunk. A tree does a provocative fanny-slapping dance, gyrating it's coconut bosoms, until one flies off and hits Bosko in the head. Bosko and a trio of hyenas laugh.

FORWARD OPERATING BASE MAREZ, Iraq - During World War II, the first generation of young men who grew up in a modern industrial society were seen on the battlefield. They were a fighting force of thinkers, risk-takers, problem-solvers, and day-dreamers. They were a generation that improvised and adapted technology to the battlefield. It is these same skill-sets that drive modern-day Soldiers to overcome obstacles.
For two Soldiers from 1st "Desert Rogue" Battalion, 64th Armor, 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, their ingenuity helped make the configuration for a battery box for the forward observer's long-range scope more efficient.
"Our command asked who could weld, so that's how I ended up here," said Pfc. Chad Loskota, who prior to joining the U.S. Army used to fabricate and weld parts for off-road racing in his hometown of Lancaster, Calif.
Working outside of their military occupation specialty is nothing new to Soldiers deployed to Iraq. With the U.S. military shifting focus from combat operations to stability and training of local national forces, many units such as the Forward Support Company of the Desert Rogues find Soldiers within their ranks with special skills and talent.
"We're both actually Bradley Fighting Vehicle mechanics; however, when our command needed welders we both just volunteered," said Pfc. Andrew Lamar, from Coosbay, Oregon.
Private First Class Loskota and Pfc. Lamar make up the two-man welding team deemed the 'dream team' because of their ingenuity and ability to fabricate nearly anything asked of them.
"Recently we were asked to build something that can hold the battery box for the forward observers vehicle's long-range scope," said Pfc. Loskota. "The problem with the current design was that the box was just held in place with two straps in the back of the vehicle, up against the tire well."
Sometimes the straps would come loose when moving equipment in and out of the vehicle and causing the battery box to get knocked out of the vehicle. Because the battery box was strapped down, this created the problem of not being able to access the batteries inside of the casing. There were also heating issues with the battery case being sandwiched against the tire well.
"We were asked to design someway to have the battery case bolted to the vehicle yet allow easy access to it as well as somehow allow more room around the casing to solve overheating concerns," said Pfc. Lamar.
Only needing 30 minutes to draw up an initial design, the "dream team" quickly fabricated a design superior to the original.
"It really didn't take very long for us to come up with something for the battery case that far exceeded the original, so much so that the Army is looking at the design to implement it throughout the U.S. military," said Pfc. Loskota.
At first, both Pfc. Loskota and Pfc. Lamar did not think too much about the design until the Desert Rogue command liked the design so much that they presented the design to the Army ideas team for use throughout the fighting force.
"Whether or not the Army uses the idea and purchases the patent to it was not our intent," said Pfc. Loskota. "We just think that it is great the Army likes the design enough to use it on all of their forward observation vehicles.

SEC Week Continues: Regs Squeeze $15M Out of AIG's Greenberg
When the history of the Securities & Exchange Commission is written (or rewritten), we wonder just what kind of treatment the week of August 3 – August 7, 2009 will receive.
For the nation's top securities cops, it's been a headline-filled week. Earlier in the week came word of a $33 million settlement with Merrill Lynch (which was later put on hold by a New York federal judge). Then came word of a $50 million deal with General Electric. The latest news involved former AIG head Hank Greenberg, who, it was announced on Thursday, agreed to pay $15 million to settle allegations of a handful of accounting flaws. The company's former chief financial officer, Howard Smith, agreed to settle allegations for $1.5 million.
In the complaint, the SEC contended that AIG under Greenberg's leadership "faced a number of financial challenges that, had they been properly reported or accounted for, would have exposed significant missteps in AIG's operations and caused the company to miss certain key earnings and growth targets."
The agency added that Greenberg and Smith "were aware of transactions that enabled AIG to create the false impression that it consistently met or exceeded expectations for these key financial measures," and Smith, as chief financial officer, "knew or recklessly disregarded that AIG's accounting" didn't conform to accepted accounting rules.
A statement on behalf of Greenberg stated that he was pleased that "after a four-and-a-half-year investigation involving the review of millions of pages of documents and numerous depositions, the SEC has now concluded not to charge Greenberg with any fraud." (Funny thing going on here, it seems, with the use of the word "charge." Greenberg claims to have not been charged with fraud. The SEC did, however, "charge" Greenberg, alleging that Greenberg was "liable" as a "control person" for "AIG's violations of the antifraud and other provisions of the securities fraud.")
Andrew Lawler, an attorney for Smith, said Thursday in a statement although "Mr. Smith was originally inclined to litigate this matter, resolving the SEC matter allows him to move forward with his life without the added legal costs and distraction of this lawsuit."
Need more evidence that the SEC is feeling the mojo? Robert Khuzami, the commission's director of enforcement, in a speech given on Wednesday, said the commission was overhauling itself. The commission, according to Khuzami, was taking steps to speed subpoenas and encourage more cooperation from people. Central to the restructuring: groups devoted to investigating cases in five specific areas: asset management, structured products, municipal securities and public pensions, foreign corrupt practices and market abuse.

A 22-year-old exotic dancer has died one week after she was injured in a fall from a second-floor balcony while performing at a club in Cleveland.
MetroHealth Medical Center confirmed the death of Lauren Block of Richmond Heights on Wednesday.
The hospital relayed a family statement expressing appreciation for the community's support and prayers and efforts to save her life.
A witness told police the woman was dancing for him early on Jan. 2 when she tried to perform a move or jump and fell over the rail head first at Christie's Cabaret near downtown.

They target businesses and organizations under construction and claim to be all about fair wages. But who's really behind the "Shame on" and "Labor Dispute" signs you've seen all around Wichita?
Viewers contacted FactFinder 12 Investigators wanting answers.
The Carpenters Local 201 are behind the signs and protests outside of Wichita State, the YMCA, and Central Christian Church to name a few. They claim non-union contractors aren't paying standard wages and benefits for the area.
"It's more frustrating because the contractors and owners are dealing with it," says Danny Satterfield, owner of Danny Satterfield Drywall.
His drywall company is the reason protesters stand outside Wichita State. He received a letter from the union claiming it investigated the wages and benefits he pays. That investigation, the letter says, concluded wages and benefits Satterfield pays are less than the established area standard.
The union even provided a form for him to fill out, asking him to prove them wrong and detail his hourly wages, health insurance, vacation and holiday pay for individual employees.
The letter came from the Topeka Carpenters Union, who tells Eyewitness News it's connected to the Wichita union.
"We did receive a letter requesting wages and benefits for all our employees and if you don't follow through they would proceed with what they're doing now. To be quite honest it doesn't bother me. I know I pay my guys and I know what's true," says Satterfield.
FactFinder 12 wanted to know how the union gets salary information from private companies.
Despite repeated attempts for an interview with the union, FactFinder 12 was unable to get information from union leaders to back up claims made.
"I don't talk to the media because you'll just twist my words," said union representative Chad Mabin in a phone call to FactFinder 12. The call ended with "no comment."
FactFinder 12 also tried several times to reach leaders of the regional St. Louis based carpenters union, but calls were not returned.
But we did get some information from a man at one of the protest sites who didn't give his name.
Michael Schwanke: "Do you think it's working?"
Protester: "It's about area standard wages man."
Michael Schwanke: "Do you think these tactics are working?"
Protester: "This isn't really a tactic. This is just what you do."
The protester was handing out a flier at Central Christian Church that calls Wichita based Drywall Systems a "rat contractor" and claims it doesn't meet area labor standards for its carpenters.
"I know it's not true. I know how I feel about my employees. I know how hard I work on our relationships with our employees. I know how hard we work on our relationships with our contractors," says Drywall Systems president Larry Higgins.
The protester told FactFinder 12 that the salary information for their investigations comes from workers, but wouldn't share that information.
"We verify in the field with the workers," says the protester. He wouldn't say how much the workers are paid, or what is considered a "fair wage."
Satterfield says he would lose workers if he didn't have a fair wage and benefit package.
"I always feel that if someone has a beef they should be able to back it up. I support their right to protest anything they want. That's what makes America great. I don't have to agree with it but I support their right to do it," says Satterfield.
FactFinder 12 was told the protesters, both men and women holding the signs are not union members. Although they would not tell us how much they're paid, they say it's "fair wage" for that type of work.
There has been a least one lawsuit filed against the union for these tactics.
Last year a federal appeals court upheld a $1.7 million jury verdict for an Atlanta drywall contractor. The union argued that its tactics were protected by free speech. But a jury and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the union campaign was designed to coerce third parties to stop doing business with the company.

|In 18 games as a Duck, Thomas is averaging a TD every 7.65 times he touches the ball. (US Presswire)
SEATTLE -- Childlike.
That's the first term that comes to mind in describing Oregon's 5-foot-9, 175-pound imp. De'Anthony Thomas is half arm bands, half lightning, all wonder. Sitting in a hallway folding chair following Saturday's win over Washington State, the Ducks' 19-year old sophomore smiled seemingly in awe of the moment. For an instant. His widening eyes and body language conveyed his next thought: "Uh-oh, here they come."
The media. His first few answers were insightful.
"It was shocking" Thomas said of Washington State, the first team that dared to kick off to him this season.
Then the responses began to lack length and detail. Everything else was "fun" and "great." Either someone has a) programmed perhaps the country's most dangerous multi-purpose X factor, or b) DAT -- as he has come to be known -- is the typical 19-year-old. He really hasn't figured out his world of wonder.
|More on college football
|Related links
|More college football coverage
"I feel like I'm going to bust one, one of these times," Thomas said.
The answer, refreshingly, is B). Going to bust one? Thomas apparently doesn't know he is tied for fourth nationally with eight touchdowns. Among "true" all-purpose runners -- those with yards in all four categories: rushing, receiving, punt returns and kickoff returns -- he is fifth among players from BCS conferences.
Bust one? After Saturday, he is averaging a touchdown every 7.65 times he touches the ball in his 18-game career.
The world has begun to close in on this care-free talent, along with a few defenses. This city has become somewhat of a think tank for stopping Thomas in recent days. Washington State did a serviceable job against him Saturday, limiting Thomas to 126 yards on 18 touches. Now it's Washington's turn. Coach Steve Sarkisian and defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox will spend the week in a bunker coming up with a plan before traveling to Eugene this weekend.
Sarkisian can squint and see similarities to Reggie Bush.
"Very similar when you look at the phases where he can impact a game," said Sark, Southern California's former offensive coordinator. "The ability to really change the game in one touch is what is eerily similar to the two guys."
Before Geno Smith hijacked Heisman talk, Thomas was an acquired, discriminating taste in the national discussion. Technically, he doesn't start at any position, but he can score from anywhere.
"It's like he doesn't really realize how good he really is," teammate Kenjon Barner said.
The journey for that definition travels to some strange places. Thomas can count Snoop Dogg as a mentor. Fo' shizzle.
"This kid found me," Snoop told the Pac-12 Networks, recounting how Thomas exploded in the rapper's youth football league seven years ago.
DAT already has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Oregon's track coach Robert Johnson says Thomas' skills as a sprinter would make him a borderline Olympian if he was devoted to track full time. As it is, Johnson graciously gets him before and after spring practice.
There has been charming cult of DAT spring up around the innocence of the product of South Central Los Angeles. Following Saturday's 51-26 win, it was the youngest fans behind the Oregon bench who pleaded the hardest for his attention. A child wearing Thomas' No. 6 jersey held up a homemade sign: "De'Anthony Score A TD 4 My BDay."
Whether his intentions were other than the end zone that night, DAT did.
"For a little dude from Southern California making a name like that, that quick, it's incredible," said one of those fans, Scipio Mundine from Fresno, Calif.
Moments earlier, Thomas had sprinted over to the stands to shake the hand of Mundine, the older brother of one of his old youth football teammates.
"More than just as a football player, this kid with this much talent is this humble," Barner said. "There's no cockiness. He's a kid and that makes me better as a man."
Barner loves to tell the story of how he was a host on Thomas' recruiting visit. After the official stuff, most players want to go to a party, hang out, blow off some steam. Thomas wanted to stay in, play video games.
"When I met him he just blew me away," Barner said. "On his visit I said, 'Hey, you want to go out?' He said, 'Nah, let's just chill together.' He just wanted to be around the team, play Madden and NCAA. I've hosted guys they just want to go out, go to parties, meet girls. He's a house body."
A house body with 20.61 speed in the 200 as a high schooler, fastest in the country.
"You could easily see him being a low 10-second guy in the 100 -- 10.20, 10.10," said Johnson when asked about a DAT as a full-time track athlete. "Same thing there in the 200 and he could be a low 20-second guy. "That's one of the things whenever I've been asked to speak about him, the thing that makes me marvel. He's definitely grounded."
Maybe that affected his decision to play at Oregon. USC had a commitment, a solid commitment. Lane Kiffin had worked his usual recruiting magic, getting the No. 1-rated "athlete" in the country. At the last minute, though, Thomas changed his mind. It has been suggested that the quieter, calmer Eugene scene had the opposite effect on this big-time recruit. Instead of craving the attention, he went to a place where he could turn down the volume.
"I think he's a guy, if you didn't give him any credit, he wouldn't care at all," said running backs coach Gary Campbell. Campbell has been at Oregon 30 years, during the lean years and the glory. He has seen or directly coached every great skill player that has come through the program during that time.
"He can actually get to holes better than LaMichael [James] could," Campbell said referring Oregon's former national rushing leader and Heisman finalist.
"We work him everywhere. We have an arsenal of plays we take into the game."
Like any strategic weapon, how that arsenal is used depends on distance, accuracy and situation. This weapon has averaged a touchdown every eight times he touches the ball this season.
"He's the Black Mamba, you know?" said offensive tackle Kyle Long. "He's going to attack you down the field. He's going to cut you up."
Snoop gave Thomas the nickname as a youth when it became obvious the rapper had "never seen nobody move in grass that fast other than a black snake." Long and Thomas became close a couple of years ago at the Army All-America game. Thomas played cornerback that day instead of flashing his multi-purpose ability.
"He locked everyone down too," Long said. "It was insane."
Despite the elusiveness, defenses will come after him. They already have come after him. It's a strategic battle now between Chip Kelly, his staff and the opposition. Kiffin kicked to him three times last year in Eugene, the last time with the Trojans holding a 38-14 lead. Ninety-six yards later Thomas scored. USC held on to win 38-35.
"When they kicked the ball off to him, I said, 'Don't do it, please don't do it, Kiffin, please!' " Snoop added. "And he went ahead and did it. When you do that, the Black Mamba gonna bite you. That's what the Black Mamba do."
Back in the chair, Thomas senses the questions are almost done. There is nothing Mamba about him. The DAT, who is half arm bands, half lightning, looks around one more time in wonder.
"It's a great feeling just to be out there playing for the Ducks, having fun," Thomas said, almost childlike.

Last week, one of our dearest friends from New York came to visit us here in Bologna. Besides being a well-known jewelry designer, Wendy Mink is what we call a buona forchetta—which literally translates as a "good fork," but what it means is she loves good food, and is a joy to cook for. Actually, a better definition is someone who is insane about your cooking, and literally devours whatever you prepare for them. It's fun for everyone at the table to be around a buona forchetta—their enthusiasm and pleasure is contagious. I imagine you know a buona forchetta or two yourselves?
Since Wendy knows Italian food, and my cooking in particular, we asked her what dish she was most craving while she was here. We considered the various options, but as soon as I mentioned spaghetti alle vongole e cozze (clams and mussels), all eyes lit up. I wanted to make my favorite variation of this dish—that is, with fresh tomatoes. So we bought about one pound of ciliegini (cherry tomatoes); a little more than two pounds of mussels; and about 2 pounds of a mix of clams: telline and veraci. Telline, small and grey-colored, are natural Adriatic Sea clams. Vongole veraci are bigger, but just as tender; they're cultivated in controlled, unpolluted, huge seawater baths. The clams we get here are a more tender variety than we used to get in New York and are really delicious—but if you can't find them fresh, you can certainly opt for those sold in cans, shelled and packed in their own water. To enhance the flavor of the sauce, always use the water they come in—whether they are fresh or canned, as long as it's natural and without any additives. If you are able to get fresh clams, be sure to soak them in cold salt water for about half an hour before cooking, which will make them open just enough to expel the sand and impurities.
Cozze (mussels) are always very fresh in Bologna; hopefully you can find them fresh where you live as well. To clean the mussels, first pull out the barbetta (little beard)—the hair-like tangle that hangs out of each shell; then in a clean sink, vigorously rub all the mussels against each other and rinse in plenty of water, pressing them against the sink. Now you're ready to steam them open in a large pan with a lid—and nothing else. They'll open in a few minutes, at which point they should be drained—you can use that broth for the sauce or for your next risotto alla pescatora. When the mussels have cooled, it's very easy to take them out of the shells and add them to your sauce—there's no need to sauté them separately. One important tip: Be sure not to add any salt to the sauce, and go slowly with the salt you add to the pasta water.
It's actually very easy to prepare this dish, while your friends chat and enjoy an antipasto and a glass of wine. True to form, Mink—as we often call Wendy—who is as elegant and sensual as her name implies, acknowledged every bite with a little moan, welcoming every mouthful like a long-lost relative. It was wonderful to cook for her again.

When the offense took the field with a chance to win the game late in the fourth quarter there was a stunning sound from the crowd: nothing. Crickets. Nervous mumbling at best. This muffled din was delivered by the crowd that unleashed the loudest Bronx Cheer ever recorded after the team�s initial first down, and the same crowd that screamed like schoolgirls when a blindside Husker defender was closing in on 98 during the third quarter touchdown drive.
Say what you want about the Michigan Stadium crowd, but when there�s good reason to get loud they do. Except Saturday. Perhaps it was concern for President Mary Sue Coleman�s condition (thoughts and prayers), but bottom line is the soul was sucked out of that place well before the fourth quarter.
If Bo were alive I�m guessing many of the Michigan faithful would expect him to be toting his famous yardstick, circling the coaching staff talking teamwork and about preeminent men having enthusiasms…enthusiasms.

To all WTKA callers, a friendly reminder to recite your fandom credentials before you tee off on the coaching staff.
