Perspectives and Insights
Societies are complicated systems, and humans are creative and complex creatures with different points of view. The definition of progress is not the same for all people and every person brings to this planet his or her own unique set of circumstances, insights and opinions.
However, it seems some truths are universal. Even with opposing beliefs, disparate amounts of knowledge and patience, and controversy, there are opportunities to find common ground and solve problems that appear to be overwhelming.
In the following, you may find a new perspective or vantage point, or some new courage. A more philosophical point of view . . . strategies and solutions.

Conflict Minerals Project Documentary Film
Click on the image on your screen to watch the video introduction.
Please review this film, which exposes the horrific underbelly of the cellular industry. We are all responsible for this by purchasing items for convenience and enjoyment, without knowing the human cost.
A film exposing how the minerals in our electronic devices (cell phones. laptops, mp3 players) are helping to fuel the worst human atrocity since WWII.
The story starts with our electronic devices. All of which contain the minerals TUNGSTEN, TIN, TANTALUM, and GOLD. These minerals, also known as CONFLICT MINERALS, are found in huge supply in the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, where rebel militias (foreign and domestic) use rape, murder, and slavery to control and extract these minerals.
The rebel militias then sell these minerals into the supply chain where they wind up in the devices we love so much. This situation creates huge profits for the manufacturers of these devices, the neighboring countries who help smuggle the minerals, and the rebel militias on the ground - we consumers get amazing devices, and the people of Congo are left living in what can only be described as hell on earth . . .
Pre-ordering a package is the FIRST way you can get engaged.
The SECOND way is to help us spread the word - Forward this on to everyone you know who owns a cell phone, laptop, MP3 player, or any other electronic device. Give them the chance to engage in the campaign to end the trade of Conflict Minerals! The THIRD way is to stay in touch.
Join the Facebook Page - http://www.facebook.com/ConflictMineralsProject, join us on twitter @mikeramsdell, join our phone campaign TEXT: CONGO TO 313131. It is a unitied consumer voice that will change this practice, and never before has it been easier, or more accessible for consumers to be united.

I had Chavez winning 5-12, so that would be 116-112. As soon as he got inside and stayed there he was doing the majority of the damage. The body work was obviously affecting Zbik. Chavez sucks, but I think he at least earned a draw. No way did Zbik win.

A Message from Rob Atkinson, CEO
My Dear Friends,
We are at the end of a long, icy winter. The days lengthen and grow warmer, birds and frogs start to give voice, and insects emerge and stretch their wings; spring is just around the corner. Our Girls have a glorious summer ahead, filled with days of dappled sunlight beneath trees, wholesome grass, cooling lakes and creeks. This year they will continue their journeys through the eventful lives that fate laid before them. All of our elephants were born in the warm cradles of Asia and Africa, from whence they were stolen long ago. I wonder, as they stretch out in the heat of the summer to come, play joyfully in the ponds, or stand in close, quiet companionship with a dear friend, whether they will have any sense of coming home. I hope so.
As always, we will be rejoicing in the stories we will share with you of our Girls' days and remembering with sweet sadness those who have passed. Our excitement over the launch of the Elecam is going to be difficult to contain for much longer—and it won't have to be! All of us at the Sanctuary share your sense of anticipation as developments in our Education Gallery and Welcome Center move forward. Our program of Protected Contact elephant handling is going full-steam ahead, and we'll bring you news of how that progresses.
There will be difficult times for sure—anyone who takes on the responsibility of caring for animals knows that is inevitable—but the sense of purpose that runs through the Sanctuary will see us through. Behind the scenes, whether in the offices making sure the business is running properly, or sweltering in the barns and workshops, the staff will continue their labor of love. Away from the elephants, who are left in peace, everywhere will be buzzing with activity, and all is for the Girls. Our elephants are safe in the hands of our staff, who in turn deserve nothing less than the same protection they unconditionally give to the Girls. I will make sure they get it.
As far as I'm concerned the new year starts now, so to our Girls, to our staff and, of course, to you our dear supporters—Happy New Year!
Rob Atkinson,

Best Hotels in Pensacola
Pensacola, Fla. on the Gulf Coast is full of exciting activities for visitors. The main and most popular attraction in Pensacola is the beach. Despite hurricanes and the devastating oil spill, the sand is again white and the waters clear. Pensacola beach is a great place to pass the day away with swimming and sunbathing. For a fun educational activity, visitors should take a walk down to the historic city center. The city center has charming old buildings, unique shops and plenty of cafes for relaxing. The Pensacola Beach Fishing Pier is another point of interest. It makes a very relaxing walk. The pier has a few shops but the main attraction is the fishing. Equipment is available to rent for the day. Another historical site dear to the hearts of the locals is St. Michael's cemetery. It is one of the oldest cemeteries in the area with graves dating back to the early 1800s. The cemetery is a quiet and relaxing way to take in the history of the city.

Apparently, one of the biggest struggles in Ledger's life was his deteriorating relationship with partner Michelle Williams.
"Heath was always blaming himself [about the relationship], asking 'what did I do wrong?'" says Ledger's friend and mentor, director Terry Gilliam. He was overwhelmed by lawyers, and there were more and more of them, as if they were breeding."
The stress of his personal life left Ledger unable to sleep.
Chronic InsomniaGerry Grennell, a vocal coach who lived with Ledger during the filming of The Dark Knight, said that the actor used sleeping medication to combat chronic insomnia. "I'd say, 'If you can possibly bear it to stop taking the medications, do, because they don't seem to be doing you any good,' " recalls Grennell, who said that Ledger would spend his nights finding ways to occupy himself, such as rearranging the furniture.
Grennell also says that everyone has a different view on how Ledger died. "From my perspective, and knowing him as well as I did, and being around him as much as I was, it was a combination of exhaustion, sleeping medication … and perhaps the aftereffects of the flu," he says. "I guess his body just stopped breathing."
Grennell and other sources claim that Ledger was no longer using illegal drugs or alcohol when he died.
Professional IndecisionDespite the actor's eventual success – and posthumous Oscar – as the Joker in the The Dark Knight, Ledger's friend and agent, Steven Alexander, tells the magazine that Ledger "was always hesitant to be in a summer blockbuster, with the dolls and action figures and everything else that comes with one of those movies. He was afraid it would define him and limit his choices."
Friends say that Ledger agreed to join the Batman franchise because it would be such a long shot that it would give him an excuse to turn down other offers. Ledger reportedly had a pay-or-play deal for Dark Knight, meaning that he'd receive a paycheck no matter what, so he took creative liberties with the Joker.
According to cinematographer Nicola Pecorini, Ledger hoped his performance would be so over-the-top that he'd be fired.

"I've never experienced that kind of pain before and I've always wondered what it felt like," he told reporters Wednesday at Las Vegas's Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.
Though Limbaugh had feared that he had heart attack while vacationing in Hawaii in December, doctors told him it wasn't. So what was it?
"We still don't know what it was that happened," Limbaugh, 59, says. "I got an angiogram and the doctors were stunned because there was no blockage, there was no arterial disease or coronary disease. … They think it was an infection that caused an arterial spasm."
Now, though, "Everything is fine," he said.
Next up for Limbaugh, he is one of six judges at the 2010 Miss America Pageant on Saturday in Las Vegas, airing at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
As for how he'll judge the contestants, the staunch conservative said, "I don't come in with any prejudice. I don't care what their opinion is... This is not about finding Miss Conservative. I've already done that."

Having children is a life-changer for anyone – but for Emily Skerrett a rare joint disease meant two pregnancies left her disabled.
Almost overnight she went from being an active outdoor-loving woman to relying on crutches to get about.
"It was so frustrating," says Emily, 30, from Bude in Cornwall. "Everything about my life changed and I was left wondering what I was going to do.
"I'd always made sure I was busy and on the go and suddenly I was forced to stop."
The condition, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, first became apparent when her first son Fin was born in August 2010.
"Up until then I had been running my own pet care business Paws and Whiskers, which involved numerous dog walks every day, visiting cats and generally being on the go."
Emily's partner James took over the physical side of the business leaving her to do the admin and booking side of things from her PC at home.
"The upside was it meant I could focus on looking after Fin. Being a first-time mum meant I researched everything and networked with other mums as much as possible about everything from feeding to nappies."
She decided very early on that she wanted to use reusable nappies instead of disposables, but found it hard to find the products she wanted.
"At first, like so many other people, I imagined it would be boil in the bucket-type nappies, secured with pins. But that was so not the case: now the washing machine can do it all, they do up with Velcro and there are such pretty designs."
Emily started sourcing products from around the country and trying them on Fin. "I used social media an awful lot to find out more from other mums around the country. One mum in Scotland was making nappies so I started using those."
It wasn't long before Emily realised if she was struggling to get to grips with a more eco-friendly way to look after her baby, so too must other people.
"I had a Eureka moment and decided to set up a business where I could connect mums to the products they needed. The company name Baby Peach just came to me and my catch phrase instantly became 'Comfy Bums for Eco Mums'."
Focusing on small businesses and suppliers, Emily pulled together a host of products, from nappies and creams to wet bags and reusable wipes.
"It was amazing how the whole business just took off. A friend designed a website for me and off we went."
When Emily's second son Reuben was born six months ago her disability became more severe.
"Even so, I have been able to continue with my business. James does all the post office trips, and I'm the brains! He still does the dog walks for me too."
Another added bonus was that when Reuben became very poorly with meningitis, Emily's customers and suppliers nationwide were the first to be supportive. "I kept them informed through the website and on Facebook and with that came the understanding and flexibility I needed."
Emily's disease radically changed her life. But whether you've had a life chance forced upon you, or it's your choice to create one, there are steps you can take to create your own business:
Look at your skills. Whether you're gifted at making cakes, beauty products or arts and crafts, you can make your products from the safety of your own home.
Get as much advice as you possibly can before you start. Check out www.gov.uk/starting-up-a-business where you can get advice on everything from business plans to recruiting staff.
Ask at the Jobcentre if there are local organisations or groups that can help. Look for grants. The Prince's Trust Enterprise Programme (www.princes-trust.org.uk) supports unemployed 18 to 30-year-olds with their sights set on being their own boss.
Mums often lack confidence – but don't undersell yourself. Look at what you've been doing. It might include working on a school committee, managing a household budget, volunteering at a children's playgroup, running a school fete, helping at school functions, catering for large gatherings, publicising and marketing events, and fundraising.

There's a line about this in Microsoft's advisory (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/912840.mspx): "Windows Metafile (WMF) images can be embedded in other files such as Word documents. Am I vulnerable to an attack from this vector? No. While we are investigating the public postings which seek to utilize specially crafted WMF files through IE, we are looking thoroughly at all instances of WMF handling as part of our investigation. While we're not aware of any attempts to embed specially crafted WMF files in, for example Microsoft Word documents, our advice is to accept files only from trusted source would apply to any such attempts." OK, starts out with an emphatic "No" and then wooses out. Any new info on this?

In a previous post, we offered four tips to help managers create a company culture of thriving. Just what happens when you thrive as an employee?
According to the research of Gretchen Spreitzer and Christine Porath, here's what thriving employees report versus their non-thriving peers:
- 125% less burnout
- 46% higher job satisfaction
- 32% greater commitment to your company
- 16% better overall performance
- You also report missing less work and requiring fewer doctor visits
When the two components of thriving (vitality and learning) are working in concert, you're more likely to be a better leader. As a high-learning and high-energy employee, you'll have 11% greater effectiveness in leadership versus a peer who only reports high energy.
It's all good news to share at your next team meeting.

Food does not magicly turn bad on the expiry day. It slowly deteriorates from the day it was packaged/produced. Food regulations build in a cushion on the expiry date. If it has a long expiry date (like bacon)you are usually safe eating it for some time after the expiry date. If it has a short expiry date (say milk) you have less leeway after the expiry date. Remember these dates are based on optimal storage conditions so some foods can be bad before the expiry date - most of us have experienced milk gone off before the expiry date. Freezing can extent the life of foods obviously, so if you hit a bacon sale you can freeze and use well past the expiry date.
Food poisoning tends to come more from contaminated fresh food like fruits vegetable and fresh meat.
There's usually a 'best before' date.....but there's never a "bad after" date.....

As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.

Not really bothered about it. Just an experiment to see how a Wii will smash, and peoples reactions to it smashing, and for all the haters/PS3 fanboys, they'll get a snigger, and it's not yours or my Wii, so it don't matter IMO.

The Hunterdon County Democrat shared recently a video provided by the Raritan Township Police Department, of former Hunterdon resident, Dennis Shuman, who has brought forth an "excessive force" suit against the township, its police department and several officers.
Shuman filed the suit in Federal court in June claiming he was the victim of excessive force after he tried to help his daughter during a traffic stop. Shuman claims his civil rights were violated and he suffered various injuries, including a fractured elbow, when he was thrown to the pavement and violently handcuffed by police during the 2012 incident.
The case is set for a scheduling conference on Oct. 29 in federal court in Trenton.
NJ.com readers shared their opinions on the video above.
Some readers feel as if the officer had not used excessive force in this specific situation
Doomonyounj commented, "The Police was doing his job. The troublemaker had no right to interfere with Police matters. These officers have enought problems with ... No need to set them off."
Dan07946 shared, "Thankfully we have cops out there who are willing to put their lives on the line to protect us law abiding citizens from those who think there is no problem with taking law enforcement into their own hands, like Mr. Shuman does."
Others believed that the officer had over stepped his boundaries…
Proudmom wrote," Another case of local cops using unnecessary, forceful tactics in policing. We certainly don't need it in Raritan Township or any relatively peaceful area. Tactical, militant police training is the worst thing to happen to us. No one should have the right to use physical force on another yet, a cop??? Disgraceful."
DJ commented, "Glad this is on camera. The TRUSTEE had NO PROBABLE CAUSE to arrest. Just because they ask Citizen to do something, doesn't make it LAW. Those who are concerned about the TAX DOLLARS being lost in the lawsuit should be mad at the folks who trained this cop and put him out on the street without understanding his limitations as a TRUSTEE UNDER OATH. More people should study real LAW aka Constitutional Law to have backing to SUE when cops step beyond their duty."
And others feel as if both parties should have handled the situation differently.
Concernedcitizen wrote, "This cop was a little quick to react in such a brutal take down of a elderly man. Yes the guy was wrong but it could have been handled much better."
On Facebook, Robert Trepiccione wrote, "The father was wrong to do what he did. He should have called the chief before he got there. That said, the officer was way out of line to do what he did. This unfortunately is becoming the norm these days. The academy needs to include more people skills in their training program. Respect is a two way street. It's not us against them, although it feels that way more and more every day."

>> It's how often you combine these things into game objects like ships, or cars, and make new ones with tweaks etc. [/size]
that's what i call defining a new "entity type". IE a new kind of "game object". some games must do this often and have many people who must be able to do it with various skill sets, and some games do not. like most things it depends on the work to be done, and the size and skills of the team.[/size]
IE if you were going to bang out pong, pacman, galaga, space invaders, or missile command, etc. by yourself on weekend just for fun, you wouldn't bother with ECS.[/size]
As Norman Barrows stated. It depends on the game. The example there don't need it.
Personally, I like the Unity approach. You get most of the benefits of components without the unnecessary trouble that complete decoupling causes. None of the games I've worked on that shipped - or the ones that were cancelled! - used the "entity is just an ID" mantra because it buys you little but costs you a lot in terms of code clarity and predictability. Some of the people above will disagree, obviously.
Entity is just a ID is used in the Data Oriented Design. The value of that and its features used in pure form might be noticed in much bigger game.
The way it noticed is if you got a lot of something. If entity need to change component on run time. Move components in memory. Make new entity by combining components even in run time.
I think it would be noticable the benefit if your making a game. With the scope of.
A Space tactical stratigic game , where game is about
* In game design ship types . By player content driven game. Not just data driven but beyonpd that.
* in game tweak components stats . Bigger ship can have bigger guns.
* build fleets .
* And watch the AI fight it out or act like armada Admiral player vs player etc.
* if you got carriers with dozen types of Fighters etc. It makes Entity in numbers very large.
* drone frigates it can make entities insane. Launched 300 or so in a X series game.
* Missile frigates. Missile barage like Egosoft Xseries
Then a more pure form of ECS the DOD way make sense.
There are a lot of games from small to big there is not a lot of something and no need to mutate objects. So it make no sense to go with ID for Entity. But there are game concept where it have great value.

Fixed PriceBudget: $50
Start DateAugust 3, 2013
We are looking for a creative and dynamic UI/UX designer to work on a prototype design for an exciting socially powered live event discovery engine. The app is 70% complete and it will be your role to go through it and polish the design and user experience process. Conduct user testing and other various tasks concentrated around usability.
This is a test/trial job, to design 4 wireframes for the app, multiple designers will be hired, then the designer we feel is best suited to join the team will be hired on a hourly basis to work full-time on this project and others. The hourly rate will be negotiated at that time, but for those selected to participate in the trial will be paid $50 to submit the wireframes.
Some of the job requirements will be:
- Designing Wireframes for different screens. (Web & Mobile ie Responsive Design)
- Design user interaction workflow (Sign Up, Voting, Messaging, Search/Sorting etc)
- Design graphics, images, icons, borders, grids, buttons and icons. (All graphic elements.)
- Suggest usability issues or improvements

Oscars mom and dad were abonded at our bush as kittens, they were next to a tree and left with food and water. our grandmother came and took them in, and named them Socks (the girl cat) and Phantom (the boy cat) then they had four kittens, one of them was Oscar. our grandmother kept only Oscar and she had him for a long time. then we wanted a cat and we were not alowed to get one yet and then our grandmother ofered us to take Oscar and we said yes, because we loved him like our own cat. and after a long time Oscar got homesick so we brought him back to our grandparents house and a while later he was crossing the road and he got hit by a car, we thought he was dead and then he came back to our grandparents house. a few months later he passed away.

Slowly but surely, some manufacturers with high brand visibility are intensifying their focus on the fresh meals market. While some supermarket observers say that store-produced meal items allow retailers the advantage of freshness and quicker responsiveness to consumer trends, there's no denying the power that companies with superior national brand equity, notably Tyson, Sara Lee, Oscar Mayer and Perdue, wield to penetrate markets and command shelf space. While some of their best known ...

Monday, March 24, 2014
The sun finally shone on us after two days of on and off again rain showers which canceled canoe and kayak treks on the Suwannee River and closed two campgrounds and a festival downstream from us because of flooding. Thank goodness we were high (if not dry) and our site was sandy gravel that allowed the water to soak through. However, we realized how true were the warnings we had read about folks waking up in campers after heavy rains with the jacks bogged unevenly into mud holes. Yes, we read a lot before this undertaking: RVing for Dummies, RVing for Idiots, a couple other books on buying and operating RVs, every book on state and national parks we could get, and on each of the states we'll travel through. Beside those, we have Birds of North America, Night Skies: Constellations and Heavenly Bodies, Flora and Fauna of North America which we've been using as resources as we spot interesting items.
We traveled pretty much alone on the Sopchoppy Highway across Florida, slightly south of I-10, joining in with our new Stephen Foster sing-along CD, songs like Oh, Susanna, Camptown Races, Beautiful Dreamer (which was my first piano recital piece), and I Dream of Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair. Since our clocks have no hands, we've chosen to take scenic routes along our journey. We drove across rivers with names like Acquilla, Wakulla, and Ochlockonee. By the way, Wakulla Springs is the longest and deepest freshwater cave system in the world. It's limestone formations are part of the Floridan Aquifer which provides drinking water to Tallahassee and several other major cities. The roadsides here were peppered with small, farms surrounded by fields of red fox glove and slash pine forests. Sleepy towns snowed dogwood, Bradford pear, and lagustrum blossoms. The people must be very religious because there seemed to be three times as many little churches as there were homes. But there were no gas stations or grocery stores, only locals with hand-lettered signs selling out of the beds of their pickups: Tupelo Honey, Cane Syrup, Jumbo Boiled P-nuts.
Because of the rains, the swamps and ditches were full; iris stems, cattails, and the arrow leaves of purple pickerel stoond tall while the water lily pads floated beneath them. The trash floated to the surface of the water too. Along one stretch of road bobbed hundreds of beer cans and empty chips and pork rind bags. We saw an old gator sunning among the tupelo and cypress knees, an eagle sail by on an overhead current with a snake in its mouth, lots of turkey buzzards cruising circular currents. A woodpecker hammered in the swamp, but we didn't see him. If you know Jim, all conversations end on topics of hunting and fishing, so his comment was typical: "This is prime land for panther, bobcat, bear, deer, and turkey. Keep your eyes open." He strained to spot something big as we continued to pass signs marking Bear Crossing warnings and St. Mark's Wildlife Refuge Preserve. Alas, only a scrawny coyote raced across the road. Asters, Virginia button weed, and blackberry blooms crawled the roadsides, and throughout the sleepy little towns Bradford pears and dogwood snow. It was all pretty typical of the rural south until we hit US Highway 319, the Big Bend Scenic Highway, and our first sight of the Gulf of Mexico at Summer Beach, St. George State Park on St. James Bay. For an hour, we wound the deserted twists not more than 50 yards from the mirrored surface of the Gulf through forgotten villages of tired beach houses.
We say the journey is our destination, but for two nights we rested on the white powder sands and clear emerald green beaches (OMG…the color!) of in Gulf Shores State Park and Wildlife Preserve, Alabama. Before, and, before that, two nights on the remote fish-hook shaped TH Stone Memorial Wildlife Refuge on St. Joe Peninsula, a spit of sand and palmettos with the Gulf on one side and St. Joseph's Bay on the other. At night, our site looked across the bay at the diamond lights of Port St. Joe, but was remote and secluded on "9.5 miles of the most beautiful powder white sand beaches in America, named one of the nation's best parks." A little breezy is perfect for us; without the breeze and the nip in the air, Jim and I know there would be mosquitoes. There were none…no bugs at all and our first campfire. We ate seafood gumbo in Apalachicola. Nights were in the 50s…great sleeping in our king bed. When we first arrived, it was 64, but it was 43 in Charleston and 36 in Charlotte. However, our first full day on the Gulf, temps popped up to 80. We took the binoculars to explore the Wildlife Preserve and Bird Sanctuary in shorts and tees, walking barefoot in surf and sand. Ahhh… glorious!

LAS VEGAS — Consumers remain somewhat cautious about money spent on alcoholic beverages, with nearly half (47%) going to bars or clubs less often than they did before the economic downturn, according to research presented at The Nielsen Co.'s Consumer 360 Conference here. It found that when it comes time to indulge, most are unwilling to cut costs by trading down from their favorite brand. More than three-quarters of respondents said they've not changed their purchase of beer (83%), wine ...

Just received my purchase and not really happy. I used to buy these deep v necks a few years back because the V was DEEP, now it is MUCH shallower. What's going on?

After reading all these amazing reviews I'm looking to order a few of these. I'm 5'10, 175lbs (~180cm, 80kg), broad shouldered, athletic build and I like a snug fit. I normally wear a medium but I'm thinking small might fit better for these. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I like the feel and length of the sheer jersey. Probably should have gotten a M instead of L though. I wear L in the Tri-blend and LOVE that fit. Please consider selling those in a pack. Thank you!

I LOVE these t-shirts. They are comfy and the color lasts forever. I am not a tiny girl and I have pretty big knockers and I got these in a large. I also wore the black and white t-shirts to work at my office with slacks and they looked great with some pretty jewelry. Love them!!!

I saw a friend of mine was using this as a sleep shirt and ran out and got a couple right away. Very soft and comfortable, great for hot flashes, too:) I am 5'7 and 140 lbs so I bought an x-large. They seem to stretch out though, so will go for large next time.

I have found these deep V-neck shirts online only. The fit is perfect. I usually where XL, and this shirt is no exception. The sleeves wrap around my arms without being baggy. Super baggy sleeves would be a deal breaker for me. My arms are larger normal for my weight and height. My only complaint is that I wish the material was a tiny bit thicker, but that's probably because I'm used to wearing heavier T-shirts from Hanes.

This is the only place I have been able to find a deep v-neck. Most of the v-neck shirts available in department stores show when I have my collar open, and I don't like that.

I have hunted for a year for this T Shirt and finally landed! Having a large frame and a round face, this shape gives deapth and length to my face and makes me look slimmer. Its perfect for showing off my hairy chest, which is the whole point in my opinion. So good I bought 3 more

Signs of the economic slowdown are everywhere. Whether you live in Berkeley California, or Harrisburg Pennsylvania, you probably have friends, neighbors or family members who have gotten into financial trouble and lost their car or house; or know someone who has been fired, laid-off, cut-back, or forced to take early retirement.
Retail stores are struggling. In Harrisburg, it's the never-to-be-occupied Barnes and Noble at the financially troubled Harrisburg East Mall, newly vacant commercial space in Camp Hill and shuttered small businesses up and down Route 22. Car dealerships along the Carlisle Pike have lots bulging with unwanted vehicles.
And home sales? We read that Pennsylvania's unemployment rate has spiked upward and foreclosures, previously confined to places like Las Vegas, California and Florida, are on the increase. There are 'For Sale' signs proliferating on empty row homes in uptown Harrisburg and on Allison Hill.
From President-elect Obama to Nobel prize-winning Princeton economists, we are being warned that the economy is going to get worse before it gets better. Pennsylvanian's who lived through the seventies and the collapse of the rail and steel industry know that already. We've seen a bad recession before and recognize the signs of a deteriorating economy. The way we collect financial data may be less sophisticated than how university economists and Wall Street pundits do it, but maybe we don't need a degree in economics to recognize our country is in deep trouble.
Below are twelve signs of a deepening economic downturn that I've noticed in and around my adopted hometown of Berkeley, California. Some of these signs will be all-to familiar to you.
1. Fewer home sales listed in the newspaper. In the better neighborhoods, homes are selling at prices not seen since 2004. In less-desirable communities, prices are---well---don't ask.
2. Less people in restaurants.
3. More people at Sunday church services.
4. Thousands of unneeded shipping containers stacked at the Port of Oakland.
5. The morning line of casual day laborers outside the local lumberyard, once 20 to 30 men, has shrunk to 5 or 6.
6. Record-breaking numbers of people attending our Church's Sunday Dinner for the Poor.
7. Large quantities of unused construction equipment stored behind the Hertz Equipment Rental store.
8. Shorter Intermodal container trains traveling along the Union Pacific main line.
9. Fewer jobs postings at the university.
10. A single construction crane gracing the San Francisco skyline where usually there are five or six.
11. Once-desirable commercial retail space sitting empty.
12. Acres and acres of newly-imported Korean cars, parked at the Port of Richmond, waiting...

Tahrir Square, One Year Ago
By Susan Harris
As the events of the Arab Spring unfolded last year, WWB published a number of dispatches from and about the affected countries. One of our favorites came from Egyptian graphic novelist Magdy El Shafee. With his fellow artists, Magdy was creating and distributing a graphic journal on the abuses of the Mubarak regime. When we invited him to report from Tahrir Square, Magdy documented the uprising exclusively for WWB. One of the challenges of recording demonstrations is capturing the rhythm and rhyme of slogans, and translator Humphrey Davies—himself on site in Cairo—rendered them brilliantly: "Two million people in the square / Couldn't get him off the chair." Wonderfully, by the time the panels ran, the Egyptian people had succeeded in doing so.

Far Cry Instincts Predator Review
Far Cry will certainly go onto bigger and better things on the Xbox 360, but newcomers to the series shouldn't be disappointed.
Far Cry Instincts and Evolution are both staggeringly good looking Xbox games, but as Xbox 360 games they'd look rather ropey. Thankfully Ubisoft have beefed up the visuals somewhat, making for an altogether superior looking game. The most obvious improvement is the new HDR lighting, which replaces the rather excessive bloom lighting from the Xbox games. Foliage also looks far greener and more alive than on the Xbox and various new grassy areas have been added around the environments. The frame rate also seems a step above the Xbox games, but still suffers from bouts of slowdown in areas that feature numerous light sources.
Water in the Xbox game looked great, but going back to it after seeing the Xbox 360 game's water in motion isn't pleasant. On the 360 the water moves in a strikingly realistic way, with soft waves undulating in an almost photorealistic manner. The illusion is destroyed somewhat when you notice odd, hard-edged sections to the water as it hits the shore, but on the whole it's very impressive indeed. Character models, too, seem slightly improved, but it's only really noticeable if you directly compare the game to the Xbox versions. Judged as a next-gen game the models are a little basic, but they're still an improvement.
Cutscenes are used sparingly, but they're done well, with solid voice work and impressive in-engine visuals. The in-game audio accompanies the action well, with the music changing to match the current situation, and the weapons all sound deadly in their own right. Predator is really a very polished version of the Xbox games, and while it's easy to see where the visuals could have been improved further, it's by no means ugly, even by next-gen standards - you'll just have to have played the original Xbox version recently to see where all the improvements have been made.
In addition to the two single-player campaigns, Predator includes a healthy number of multiplayer modes. Split-screen is fun, but Xbox Live play is where the most entertainment can be found. There's the usual deathmatch and team deathmatch game modes, with support for 16 players, but the 'Predator' mode and the new 'Seek and Secure' mode are the real stars of the show.
'In the 'Predator' mode a team of soldiers must make their way across the island while a predator tries to take them out.'
In the 'Predator' mode a team of soldiers must make their way across the island while a predator tries to take them out. This predator has all the abilities that the 'feral' Jack has in the main campaign, and despite being hugely outnumbered, the battles are immense fun. There's a fear brought about when attacked by a predator that is unlike any other I've experienced on Xbox Live. The screams from your online team-mates as a fast moving, hugely powerful killer rips through the middle of your formation are testament to the success of this hugely original game type.
Predator mode alone would have made the Xbox live experience a worthwhile one, but the new 'Seek and Secure' mode offers similar amounts of entertainment. The team-based mode requires you to capture and hold positions on a map to earn points. If you've played the excellent Call of Duty 2, this will seem familiar to that game's Headquarters game mode. Online play seems consistent with the Xbox games and I found most games to be relatively lag free. A number of larger maps that weren't included in the Xbox version of Instincts also make vehicle use more important and add some variety to proceedings.
The map maker from Instincts on the Xbox was a great addition to the online game, and it's been included here with a number of small improvements. Even if you have no skill (like me) you can download maps from other users, in theory giving life to the online mode far beyond that of the typical console FPS. It's worth noting that Xbox owners who purchase Far Cry Instincts Evolution can import their existing maps created in Instincts and take advantage of the improved map making tools. Seeing as you can't do this if you buy the Xbox 360 version, how interested you are in the map making aspect should figure in your buying decision.
Ubisoft pushed the Xbox to its limit with Far Cry Instincts' game engine, and while this Xbox 360 compilation feels like a stroll in the park for the new console, it's still a thoroughly entertaining first-person shooter. The 'Feral' abilities make the experience unlike most other games out there and some of the online game types are immense fun. Far Cry will certainly go onto bigger and better things on the Xbox 360, but newcomers to the series shouldn't be disappointed.

It seems that cellphones are taking over the world. Every day we see a commercial for a new smartphone. I can't count how many times I have seen an ad for another new iPhone. How many could possibly be made? And what does it have that all the others don't? There are always more and more phones being invented with supposedly more than what the last phones had to offer. But do we really have the money to go out and buy what is appealing to the eye?
More and more smartphones are being sold every single day. Why is this? It may be because all of the kids want the newest and coolest things. The smartphone is something that every teenager wants. I know firsthand. Ever since I saw the commercial for the new Verizon phone, the Droid, I wanted it. But, if I really think about it -- why do I want it? Because it looks cool and has a touch-screen? Because it has Internet access and can play music?
My mom and I recently went to the Verizon store to look for new phones. Of course, I went over to the Droid and asked my mom if I could have it. Was I surprised her answer was no? No. She had a very valid point: With the purchase of a new smartphone, there is a $30 data plan fee every month, and that is not in our budget. With my sister in college and the three of us on the phone plan it would simply be too much. So, the sales associate showed us the non-smartphones, and I was shocked. I had only about seven phones to choose from. I wondered what happened to all the other phones that were new within the past two years. How could they have gotten rid of them that fast? I didn't have many choices, but, of course, I chose the one I thought looked the coolest, the one with a touch-screen.
At first I was disappointed but then I thought, did I really need that smartphone anyway? I have a computer at home that has Internet access and I also have an iPod Touch that plays music perfectly well. So, why do I need a smartphone when I have everything I need right at home? I believe that it is just the idea of having a smartphone that makes everyone so excited. But, I'm sure the price and the data plan fee doesn't. The majority of kids today all have some sort of music device, and the majority of families own a computer. So, why is it necessary to need it on your phone, too?
Ever since I got my phone I have come to realize that I don't need a smartphone. I am happy with the phone I have now, and, surprisingly, I have had no issues with it, which is really uncommon. Usually within the first month of having a new phone there is some technical difficulties with it, but not with mine. So, I have the best of both worlds -- a good phone that has everything I need on it without the data plan. It turns out, less is more.

Red Mountain Theatre Company presents Into the Woods (April 10-13, 2014)
Meet the Cast: Abigail Ross Barlow (Rapunzel)
I started theatre at the young age of six as a piglet in a production of Cinderella in Jackson, MS. I've been performing ever since!
What is your first memory of Into the Woods?
I saw a YouTube clip about 2 years ago of Bernadette Peters performing as the witch on Broadway, and I bought the whole album the next day.
What is your favorite part of the acting process?
My favorite part of the process is character development, and since Rapunzel has so many layers, I love to peel them back one at a time and find out what exactly the character's about.
Do you have a favorite song or moment from Into the Woods? What is it and why?
My favorite song in the show is "Agony", which the two princes sing in Act 1. It's a beautiful arrangement, and both of our princes sing it with such comedic brilliance!
What about Into the Woods are you most looking forward to sharing with audiences? Why should they come to see this show?
I'm looking forward to portraying the underlying storyline and moral, which is that no one is thoroughly content with everything they have. Even the storybook characters are human and make it evident that they are all extremely greedy. You can never satisfy the want in you for more, and that is what this show is about.

Miami Man 'Fighting for Life' Following Christmas Torching
(MIAMI) -- A Florida man is fighting for his life after being doused with gasoline and set on fire on Christmas in a horrific attack that has baffled police.
Darrell Brackett, 44, was driving with his girlfriend at 11:30 p.m. in Miami when his car ran out of gas and he walked to a nearby U-Gas station to fill up a can of gas. He told his girlfriend to wait for him in the car.
After leaving the station, "witnesses reported that they saw him running in the middle of the street on fire," Miami-Dade Police said in a statement.
Brackett's mother Bridgett Brackett said she has been told that her son was surrounded by three men who "doused him with gas and set him on fire."
"It's heartbreaking. It's horrendous," Bridgett Brackett told ABC News. "I would never imagine that this would happen to my son."
An unidentified woman who was passing by spotted Brackett and helped him roll around in the sand and dirt near the road to put the fire out.
"If she hadn't done that, he would have burned to death," his mother said.
Brackett was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he is in the burn center's intensive care unit.
Earlier in the day, Brackett and his girlfriend had had a cookout and visited with his mother and family. Later, his mother was rushing to his hospital bedside.
"He was semi-alert. He could hear me, moving his eyes and thrashing around in the bed," she said.
He suffered from burns on 75 percent of his body, including his legs, torso and face.
"He has no skin left on his body," Bridgett Brackett said. "The only things that didn't burn were his feet and short jeans."
Brackett was originally in extremely critical condition and is now in stable condition after being placed in a medically induced coma, his mother said. She said doctors plan on using cadaver skin to reconstruct his skin.
Doctors will be watching him closely over the weekend, hoping that he does not develop an infection, which could cause him to take a turn for the worse.
"My son is fighting for his life...It's touch and go right now. We're just seeing how things progress and keeping up hope," she said. "I believe in God. My son is a fighter."
Brackett said authorities told her that his son had kept repeating one thing about his attackers when authorities arrived on scene, "The only thing I did was ask a question and they didn't have to do this to me."
Police said that they have not yet identified a motive or any suspects in the case.
"Based on the preliminary investigation, the Miami-Dade Police Department Arson Squad is investigating this incident as a possible attempted murder," police said in a statement.
Darrell Brackett works for a landscaping company and his mother said her only son would not have done anything to deserve the attack.

Price Just Lowered!
Current owners have found their next boat and are ready to sell!
"Lorelie" is a stunning example of the 46' Bertram Aft Cabin Motor Yacht.
Heavily built yacht with spacious interior accommodations and traditional flush-deck styling, the Bertram 46 Motor Yacht was designed for yachtsmen who placed a premium on solid construction and exceptional seakeeping abilities.
Her owners have lovingly cared for this beautiful vessel with continuous upgrades and improvements during her life maintaining a truly bristol condition boat.
There are very few boats that have ever had this level of continued care, even those much newer in age.
Lorelie is appointed with two staterooms, two heads, master head featuring a tile floor, a large galley down, new stainless refrigerator and very comfortable galley seating for four.
The mid-ship saloon offers very comfortable seating and entertaining space, along with abundant storage and a convertible sofa for additional sleeping capacity.
The aft pilothouse is a great place for family and guests to enjoy comfortable cruising, whether enjoying the breeze or closed up with air conditioning.
Updated and modern electronics at both helms provide easy navigation and the bow thruster provides safe and effortless docking of this wonderfully cared for yacht.
Originally a freshwater boat, Lorelie has only been in the Chesapeake Bay for the past few years. She is an absolute pleasure whether for weekends, a cocktail cruise, vacation cruising or as a live-aboard.
You will be hard pressed to find a yacht in this wonderful condition with excellent electronics, bow thruster, auto pilot, spare set of props, laundry, numerous updates throughout, this is not a yacht to be missed.
During the most recent survey, she received praise that is seldomly heard. The surveyor made the following comments:
"It is my opinion that the above mentioned vessel is in Bristol Condition.
This 46' Bertram has been exceptionally maintained from the Flybridge Bridge to the hull bottom.
I found LORILIE's Topside decks to be free any abnormal moisture no voids or hardly a blemish could be found.
The Hull Sides and Top Side Gelcoat shines like a new boat with almost no Oxidation from UV Damage. The Stringer System is Painted Glass over Timber and is structurally sound throughout.
The Engines and Gen-Set have low hours and appear very well maintained, along with many Upgrades when they are needed such as hoses and thru-hulls.
I found the Cabin Interior be in exceptional condition with new upgrades throughout such as new blinds, carpet and upholstery, along with new recessed LED lighting."
