September 13th, 2013
I am just returning from beautiful, ancient, hot, dense, and fragrant Istanbul. I am writing this blog somewhere high above Budapest. With some colleagues from Memorial, I have been attending the annual European Association of International Education conference. Thousands of people who work in the field of international education gathered to attend sessions and meet with each other to discuss international partnerships, exchanges, and potential joint ventures. You'd see Spain talking to Korea, Italy talking to Turkey, Ireland talking to Iceland, and so on. It's been a hugely interesting and inspiring week and I have come away from the event feeling more on top of what internationalization really means and what the trends are.
Probably the most defining expression of the subject came from Lord Paddy Ashcroft, the keynote speaker at the opening plenary–a robust and articulate auto-didactic who spoke seamlessly and without a note for almost 40 minutes to several thousands of us on a hot Wednesday afternoon. Ashcroft observed that the paradigm of the century was the network, that more than at any other time it is essential to be connected to each other. Collaboration and exchange, he stressed, are the keys to education, to the development of global competences, and even to the solving of the world's enormous problems. The university that doesn't get this is doomed to be left behind. Provocatively, Ashcroft said that governments don't seem to get this. They still act vertically, and diplomacy remains a very narrowly defined exercise in non-lateral dialogue. Universities, he flattered us, have figured out that we need to work horizontally, partnerships being the dominant framework of a healthy educational system.
It was obvious to me at the EAIE that Canadians are still struggling to grasp this. Our students don't like to to study abroad, but then we aren't very good at embedding such study into our curriculum, not yet, anyway. Travel comes so much more naturally to European students. They think nothing of taking a semester or two in another country, moving fluidly from language to language, although most of their learning is in English–like it or not, the dominant language of the planet. European students and their supervisors understand the enriching benefits of partaking of another culture, of immersion in a place not our own. It's about way more than sitting in a classroom or even studying on line. It's about breathing in another country's cooking and learning to respect the way they drive or dress, or greet you in the morning.
The universities we met with–in Iceland, France, Korea, Norway, Mexico, Brazil, Sweden–are keen to send their students to us and to receive ours. And so how do we get ours to get out of their self-satisfied shells and explore the world? We don't have any claim on being superior, that's for sure, and we need to inspire in our students a sense of the richness of travel and study abroad. I thought it was telling that the EAIE award this year for the most innovative university went to Helsinki for having embedded internationalization directly into their curriculum, into the fabric of everything they do. This is so much the case that they no longer need an international office at all. I wanted to find out more about how they pulled this off. Surely, it's an incremental process, one requiring patience and some serious strategic thinking. We are getting better at recruiting international students to our study halls. We need to improve that other piece.
What could better demonstrate the allure of place than Istanbul itself? That's the stunning and famous Blue Mosque above, with its unusual six minarets and its stunning blue tiles, just one of the countless attractive sites in that splendid city. It was impossible not to feel slightly intoxicated by the energy emanating from some twenty million people, from the daily calls to prayer ringing through the hot air or the smells of spice and coffee in the shops and the impossibly large bazarre. While all major media screamed exaggeratedly about riots and protest in Takksum Square, the reality on the street was quite another story. Turks are warm and welcoming and there was never a hint or whisper of threat or danger. Yes, there had been some demonstrations against the government and people spoke with contempt about the current political scene, but one never for a moment got any sense of insecurity. We heard that several US schools had cancelled because of the fear of riots and who knows what. You have to wonder: people committed to international education withdrawing out of fear…of nothing. We have a lot to learn from each other, and being afraid to take some risks is no way to get there.

To analyze the clinical characteristics and genotypes of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and nasal polyposis who require surgery.
Cross-sectional analysis of a large patient database.
Data obtained from the National CF Patient Registry of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Bethesda, Md.
Clinical and genotype data on 20 198 patients with CF who were registered in 1992 and 1993 were analyzed. The study group (n=815) consisted of patients with CF who had undergone surgical procedures for the treatment of nasal polyposis. The comparison group (n=19 383) comprised the remainder of the patients in the database.
Statistical analysis revealed that patients with CF and nasal polyposis who required surgery had better pulmonary function (higher percent-predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity), better nutritional status, a higher rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization, more office visits, more hospitalizations, and a higher rate of acute exacerbations per year (P<.001 for each) than did the comparison group. Among the patients who had mutation analysis performed, patients with nasal polyposis who required surgery were significantly associated with 2 specific genotypes: the Δ-F508/Δ-F508 (57.5% vs 49.9%, P=.01) and the Δ-F508/G551D (12% vs 8%, P=.05) genotypes.
Patients with CF and nasal polyposis who require surgery may constitute a clinical subgroup within the spectrum of the disease. These patients appear to have slightly better pulmonary function and nutritional status; yet, they seem to have a higher degree of health care utilization. The higher rate of P aeruginosa respiratory infection in this patient group suggests an association with the presence of nasal polyposis. Genotype analysis showed a higher prevalence of the Δ-F508/Δ-F508 and the Δ-F508/G551D genotypes in this patient group.Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1996;122:1209-1213

At a recent discussion of the state of Contra Costa County finances and pension liability payments, Supervisor Susan Bonilla, a Democrat primary candidate for the 11th Assembly District, made it clear that she wanted the option of using "funds promised for reducing the county's unfunded post-retirement benefits, or OPEB, liability to help fund operations of key County departments." There is no doubt that a majority of Bonilla's colleagues, especially Mary Piepho and John Gioia, are silently hoping for any excuse to break the board's recent promise of paying down pension liability.
The nuclear option of raiding the OPEB set-aside as a source of cash for day-to-day operations(!) of the Fire Department or Probation services is a financial Rubicon the BOS should not cross without thinking seriously about the consequences of reneging on its primary constitutional fiduciary obligation and promise to taxpayers to reduce Contra Costa's retiree health care obligations. Yet such another cave-in to powerful union interests would break any remaining bond county taxpayers have with the machine politics in Martinez where the governing class including union leaders completely lord it over the governed and any fig leaf of fiscal sanity.
This critical state of affairs comes at a time when the Contra Costa County Employees Retirement Association (CCCERA), has become California's poster child for its embarrassing policies that encourage pension spiking. CCCERA has just refused to change policies that allow a fire chief making $185,000 per year to boost his lifetime pension at the age of 50 to $241,000. Dan Borenstein of the times quotes Bob Palmer, interim executive director of California's Retirement Systems, as marking CCCERA's practices are "really egregious…an embarrassment…bad public policy."
Instead of putting a stop to this scam, that the County Supervisors clearly indicate it cannot afford, CCCERA voted to allow 4,000 current retirees since 1997 and an additional 11,500 current employees to continue to receive outrageous pensions spiked with a multitude of ILLEGAL add-ons.
Of course, the County must fund essential services as best it can. But it's also time for the Contra Costa County Employees Retirement Association, CCCERA, as the financial mouthpiece of its membership, to step up to the plate.
County employees must finally have some skin in the game or be exposed as the comical criminal Blue Meanie from the Beatles' Yellow Submarine, that consumes everything in sight, and ultimately itself. No jobs, no services, no pensions.
Simply put, CCCERA has become an enemy of the people. It has become a predatory class feeding off the commonwealth of the citizens of Contra Costa County. The Board of Supervisors and State legislative elites, who rely on CCCERA membership support for reelection term after term, have also lost any credibility, failing on its promises to perform its legal financial due diligence for the sake of ever more concessions to public employee unions forcing taxpayers to once again pick up such an exorbitant tab.
This must stop.
If the lawmakers, the BOS, and the CCCERA don't step up, taxpayer revolt and bankruptcy leading to a complete meltdown of county government are rapidly becoming the more probable alternatives.
Since the sitting Supervisors—including one running for the legislature, and another supervisor hopeful—are counting on union support for their campaigns, a broad-based citizen action committee must be formed to sue CCCERA to comply with much needed reforms. CCCERA is NOT OWED something illegal. It's OWN COUNSEL says CCCERA is in violation of state appeals court decisions concerning pension spiking. CCCERA must finally have some skin in the game and face a court ruling.

The conclusion they came to with that rat study was depressing. The rats WOULDN'T overeat on fatty foods that were extremely energy dense (despite having free access to as much as they wanted) BUT when they gave them processed carb foods, they instantly began overeating and got obese. Yet the show came to the conclusion that it's the "energy dense" food and "overeating" that's the problem, when it was clearly the carbs and/or processing. /facepalm
The high sugar processed foods drive higher appetites, then add in some processed energy dense (fast foods and such) and it's basically a time bomb. A one two punch if you will.
Healthy whole foods, such as primal promotes, that are energy dense weren't shown as problem foods from what I saw. It was all high sugar, high sodium, high fat processed stuff. Remember... no one is just eating a burger, they are eating having the big drink and big fries too... and they had a big chocolate bar just a couple of hours ago...
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
~Friedrich Nietzsche
And that's why I'm here eating HFLC Primal/Paleo.
Thank you for sharing!
And also overeating isn't a problem per se, it just becomes one in a carb-rich environment, as we all know very well here. The documentary basically concludes overeating is a problem, which is only true to a certain extent. At the heart of it they still say a calorie is a calorie.
There's a difference between energy dense and nutrient dense. Nutrient dense is what you want.

text: Las Colegialas Las Colegialas (1986) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200537/ aka Las colegialas se divierten... aka Happy Highschool Genre: Sexy Comedy Country: Argentina | Director: Fernando Siro Language: Spanish | Subtitles: English (.srt file) Aspect ratio: 1.33:1 | Length: 76mn Dvdrip Xvid Avi - 624x464 - 29fps - 1.16gb This movie is advertised today as "the Argentinean 'Porky's'", but it actually bears more resemblance to earlier American sexploitation films or perhaps the Italian "La Liceale" series (which was called "La Colegiala" in Spanish-speaking countries). It is set in a very American-looking "Happy High School" where students dress in 80's fashions rather than school uniforms. The "students", of course, are all overage (which was true of the American "Porky's"-type movies as well)and the teachers (the female teachers, at least) are all unusually young. But unlike the American films of its time this doesn't focus so much on teen issues (i.e. trying to "lose it") as it does on general sexually-related hijinks. There is a male teacher, for instance, who can't stop imagining his students and co-worker's nude, and these strange hallucinations seem to be caused for some reason by another male teacher's uncontrolled sneezing fits.

text: the 30+ rule is generally applied to players under 26.Chapman isn't under 23 anymore. The 30 inning rule doesn't really apply. He could go 150 in 2013 and I'd say he could push to 200 in 2014. The real issue is, moving Chapman into the rotation means they almost have to bring back Broxton for $6 Million plus. If they do that, I would not deal Bailey and not even Leake. I'd make Leake the 6th starter behind Cueto, Latos, Bailey, Arroyo and Chapman with Broxton or some one similar closing and Marshall, Lecure, Hoover, Simon and another lefty filling out the staff. Maybe that lefty is Bray, but I'd go ahead and use Cingrani. I'd deal off Arredondo and non-tender Bray and Ondrusek with Masset as a wild card based on health. That's a pretty decent staff and the conditions with a closer and an alternate starter on hand would be right for giving Chapman a try as a starter, but the money needed for Broxton probably precludes signing Ludwick or upgrading CF. The best I could see happening would be bringing Rolen back on the cheap and getting a cheap guy to share the job (Wilson Betemit is my choice) with Frazier being the primary LF. CF would start out with another season of suffering with Stubbs and Heisey and hoping Billy Hamilton is ready sooner rather than later.

Pat Cuneo: Niagara overhaul welcome
News that the U.S. Brig Niagara will get a $4.8 million overhaul is both stunning and welcome.
The Niagara is far more than an icon. It represents Erie in so many ways, from our storied naval history to symbolizing the daring it takes to sail a tall ship in the open sea whether in 1813 or 2014.
The weird thing is how did this happen, and what was wrong with the Niagara's hull all of a sudden? Hold that thought.
The overhaul, which is $1 million more than the cost of the new Niagara that took its maiden voyage in July 1990, will give the Niagara another 25 years of seaworthiness, according to Gov. Tom Corbett's announcement of the grant.
The money also indicates how the state has come quite a long way since distancing itself from fully funding the Niagara and its staff -- paying for its insurance but dropping other support that required the ship to leave its home port for almost all of the season to make a buck. Thanks to fundraising, it will be home for most of July this year.
That struck a raw nerve with me because the ship, which incorporates original timbers from the ship commanded by Oliver Hazard Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie, was supposed to be "Pennsylvania's flagship" and a great symbol of the state. Now, perhaps that's true again.
My only caution is that talk of altering the ship's design even a little must be done with great care after ship architect Melbourne Smith went to such pains to assure an authentic replica. Even tools were fashioned so the ship could be built like the original.
And, regardless of the suspicious, election-year timing of this gift from Corbett, I was taught never to look a gift horse in mouth. Of course, what was it that Little Red Riding Hood said to the Big Bad Wolf? "My, how big your teeth are, Governor, I mean Grandma."
Maybe we better leave Wolf out of this.
- Hopefully, Presque Isle Downs & Casino can start putting together larger fields for its horse races. Two different races on Wednesday were actually set up for only four horses. That may be good for horse owners, but it's terrible and downright embarrassing for the sport and the audience.
I'm still hopeful that things will turn around for the track under new management. Many horse racing fans were buoyed by the return of terrific pros this season, such as trainers Michael Trombetta, Jamie Ness, Jeff Radosevich, Randall Russell, H. Graham Motion, Dale Capuano, Tim Hamm, Joe Martin, John Bourke, Jonathon Sheppard, Glenn Wismer and others. Trombetta is off to his best start ever at the Erie track, and Ness, a former leading trainer here, has more horses in Erie than in years.
Likewise, excellent jockeys like Pablo Morales, Erick Rodriguez, Scott Spieth, Mario Pino, Willie Martinez, Ronnie Allen Jr. and others are back. Newcomer Antonio Gallardo has been very impressive.
In addition, purses remain excellent, which draws the terrific trainers, jockeys and horses here. But if the racing cards can't be improved, it's all for naught.
I'd still like to see the track put together an advisory group to help them better understand the players' perspective. I suspect several terrific regulars would be glad to take part, such as John Passarelli, Bob Kulhanek, Dave Fernandez, Jeff Hedlund, John Thomas, Gary Potter, Bobby Chew, Paul Lisowski and Dave DiLoretto.

How Necessary is the Right of Assembly?
Robert K. Vischer
University of St. Thomas, St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN - School of Law
Washington University Law Review, Forthcoming
U of St. Thomas Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-11
This paper continues the conversation initiated by John Inazu's new book, Liberty's Refuge: The Forgotten Freedom of Assembly, by locating Inazu's analysis within our legal system's broader struggle to reconcile liberty claims by groups with our commitment to the individual's rights-bearing primacy. I underscore the timeliness and relevance of his approach, then ask three questions: 1) Why does Inazu limit the freedom of assembly to non-commercial groups? 2) Is Inazu's argument more appropriately pitched to judicial or political actors? and 3) If the right of association were to be interpreted less narrowly by courts, could it carry the burden that Inazu seeks to lay on the right of assembly?

Mayor Annise Parker is asking Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to do a closer check on the local environmental effects of a pipeline that would carry crude oil from Canada to Houston.
In a letter to Clinton dated March 1, Parker states, "Both the EPA and the City of Houston are concerned with the potential for increased emissions of air pollutants at Texas refineries, the effects on the low-income communities surrounding the proposed pipeline site, and the safety and spill response preparation."
The Keystone XL Pipeline would be an extension of a pipeline system that would ultimately carry crude oil from Alberta to Houston and Port Arthur for refining.
You can read the mayor's letter after the jump.
UPDATE: The Chronicle's Jennifer Dlouhy reports on FuelFix that the State Department will conduct another environmental impact statement before making a decision about the pipeline, and that it expects to decide by the end of the year.

this month's TuxMobil News digest[1] has again good news for Linux PDA, mobile
phone and laptop users. I have made an extract of the most important
messages below.
Werner Heuser <wehe_at_tuxmobil.org>
|=| SHARP continues their Linux PDA series. Their new Zaurus SL-C860 ships
November 27th for the Japanese market[2]. The SL-6000 was announced for early
in 2004[3]. OPIE 1.0.3[4] and OpenZaurus 3.3.5[5] were released. See also
the first issue of the OpenZaurus Newsletter[6]. Finally FreshMeat
has become aware of the changes in the PDA market and
renamed the "Palm" Section To "Handhelds"[7].
|=| Some vendors refuse to release specs or even a binary Linux driver for their
WLAN cards. ndiswrapper[8] by Pontus Fuchs tries to solve this by making a
kernel module that can load Microsoft-Windows NDIS drivers. Currently only
BroadCom chips are supported. In the meanwhile Linuxant has made a commercial
end-user license[9] available for DriverLoader. This driver uses a similar
approach, but supports some more chipsets, including the WLAN chip comming
with Intel's Centrino[tm] technology[10].

According to a new report, the much anticipated BioShock Infinite will be coming to the Wii U after all. During publisher Take Two's recent earnings call, the company confirmed a BioShock Infinite Wii U version, however, the game will begin development after the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions hit the stores. BioShock Infinite is scheduled for release in February 2013 on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The game was first hinted for the Wii U when the console was officially unveiled at E3 2011, where BioShock creator Ken Levine spoke about the Wii U in a promotional video by Nintendo.
BioShock Infinite is built using the Unreal Engine 3, which the Wii U fully supports. This will make the game relatively easy to port to Nintendo's new console — there are already several UE3 games that have been ported to the Wii U, including Mass Effect 3 and Batman Arkham City. Hopefully this means we'll see BioShock Infinite on the Wii U later in 2013, and hopefully with some extra goodies and decent GamePad controls.
BioShock Infinite is a first person shooter following in the footsteps of the excellent BioShock. This time, the game is set in the skies in the floating city of Columbia. Players assume the role of Booker DeWitt, a man who is sent to Columbia to rescue a girl who has been held captive there for many years. The game is set for release on February 26, 2013.

On May 2, from 6-8 p.m., the Arts Council of the Morris Area will hold an opening reception for its latest juried exhibition titled "disconnected," featuring 48 works by 36 artists who live or work in New Jersey. Curated by Jonathan Greene, the exhibit showcases these artists' visual commentaries about how people, places and things can today be uniquely connected, disconnected or both at the same time. The works utilize a wide variety of media, including vinyl laminate, oil, acrylic, graphite, fabric collage, photo encaustic, pencil/wax crayon, ceramic raku, charcoal, wood, Scrabble tile mosaic, and more.
"With humor, whimsy, and poignancy, these works inspire us to think about our contemporary world and the way we connect (or don't) with others," said Anne Aronovitch, Executive Director of the Arts Council.
Participating artists include Eva Albert (Somerset), Peter Aldrich (Boonton Township), Laurie Arends (Randolph), Francesca Azzara (Westfield), Kiyomi Baird (Far Hills), Rob Barth (Lafayette), Amy Becker (Madison), Richard Bedkowski (Morristown), Ron Brown (South Orange), Lisa Cerny (Morristown), Jill Cliffer Baratta (Tenafly), Joanne Connolly (South Orange), Lyman Dally (South Orange), EJ Davis (Chatham), Ellen Denuto (Denville), Lorraine DeProspo (Montclair), Alphonso Dunn (Hackensack), Fran Eber (Chatham), Michael S. Fenton (Morris Plains), Lisa Ficarelli–Halpern (Shrewsbury), Marla Fontanez (South Orange), Robert Gagauf (Montville), Colleen Gahrmann (Spotswood), George Garbeck (Township of Washington), Joseph Holtzman (Montville), Kathryn Keller (Springfield), Neal Korn (Union), Ted Largman (Morris Township), Susan Lisbin (Orange), Deborrah Markette (West Orange), Don Myles (Belvidere), Monique Sarfity (Jersey City), Miriam Stern (Teaneck), Shirley Supp (Great Meadows), Heidi Sussman (West Orange), Michael Wiley (Ewing).
The public is invited to see this thought-provoking exhibit, and to meet the artists and the curator, at the free opening reception at the Gallery at 14 Maple, a distinctive space located on the 3rd floor of the LEED certified "green" building at 14 Maple Avenue in Morristown.
The Arts Council gratefully acknowledges sponsorship for this exhibit by TD Bank, with additional support from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.
The exhibit is open to the public Mondays-Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and by appointment, and will remain on display until September 5. Visit morrisarts.org or call 973-285-5115 for additional information.

"Aullak, sangilivallianginnatuk (going off, growing strong in Labrador lnuttitut), is the first project of its kind in Canada focused on bringing together community youth and harvesters to enhance a community freezer program (CFP). The pilot project in Nain includes community members, government employees and researchers working together to build and share solutions to human security issues such as food security, inter-generational learning, and mental health.
Established in March 2011 and led by the Nunatsiavut Government Department of Lands and Natural Resources and the Nain Inuit Community Government, and administered at the Nain Research Centre, the CFP provides the community with anonymous and free access to country foods such as caribou, seal, Arctic hare, Arctic char and even polar bear. Country foods are received either as donations or by covering the cost of fuel for local harvesters who hunt for country foods for the community freezer.
This project is being developed in response to community demand for intergenerational transmission of harvesting skills, values and knowledge, in recognition of the exceptional mental health benefits of land-based activities for youth at risk, and in response to the reported challenges in accessibility to wild foods due to climate and environmental variability and change. Dr. Hirschs role, as a partner in this project, is to act as a research adviser to the project team and steering committee. She brings expertise in terms of ethical conduct in participatory research and innovative techniques in the evaluation of knowledge sharing.
Rachel Hirsch is working with the project team to develop and apply a range of tools (i.e., an age-appropriate repeated measures survey and open-ended trip logs) to identify any changes in the overall resilience of youth by tracking any changes in: 1) self-reported mental health among youth participants; 2) the sense of connectedness of youth participants within the community; and 3), attitudes towards country foods and the self-reported ability to acquire country foods. The anticipated benefits for youth and the community are improved social resilience (mental health, coping skills, and social connections), increased consumption of wild foods and associated nutritional benefits, increased sharing capacity for wild foods, a more sustainable community freezer program, and improved knowledge and land-based skills transfer to youth.

Have you ever wondered how two people can hold opposite views and each of them still be adamantly convinced that he is right?
It happens all the time, of course, when people take differing sides on the Irish fracas or on the torrid issues of feminism, civil rights, PETA, or homosexuality.
But I got a refresher lesson on this phenomenon during the Florida chad count last fall.
On the sideline of the fuss I winced as two of my friends fumed at each other about the recounts.
One friend was a Democrat, who did, in fact, play the role of a donkey right well during the discussion in question. The other was a Republican, who appropriately blew his cool in elephantine proportions when nettled by the asinine remarks of his antagonist.
As you might have expected, the doctrinaire Democrat was quite sure that every dimpled and pregnant chad in the citrus state needed to be counted and recounted, if need be, until the Lord returns. He said so in language not exactly irenic or endearing.
His Republican respondent hailed Katherine Harris' courage in certifying the machine counted ballots and moaned loudly when the Florida judges seemed likely to drag out the chad count until Florida and hell froze over.
In normal times these two guys are sensible, genial fellows. Both of them could not possibly have been correct about the Bush/Gore vote counting squabble, but each man called the other a nut and said, "I'm right!"
We do the same thing about religious views, don't we? People with good minds and kind hearts can get so fiercely convinced of their own rightness that they are blind both to anybody else's view and to their own rudeness.
I know this is true, but somehow it always shocks me when I encounter a colleague who thinks he is called by God to attack another believer with hide-hair-guts-and-feathers vitriol in order to establish "the truth."
"In the name of the Prince of peace, I hereby nuke you," seems to be the philosophy of some Christians. They seem to have missed the apostle Paul's instructions that we Christians can differ completely on the peripheral issues without having to judge or bash one another.
"Keep the faith you have between yourself and God," the apostle taught about areas of contention. Then, although we differ, together we can praise God.

Ex-Metroid Prime Devs Form Armature Studio
Former key figures from Retro Studios are working on new, multiplatform game for EA.
When Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios lost three of their key members earlier this year, they left a lot of uncertainty in their wake. Nobody knew for sure where they would work next, why they left, or what was to become of Retro Studios in their absence. According to a report from Kotaku, we finally have some answers.
The three central figures who left Retro -- art director Todd Keller, design director Mark Pacini, and principal technology engineer Jack Matthews -- have moved on to form a new game development company called Armature Studio. The group is focusing on creating prototypes for other developers to flesh out, while the Armature team keeps watch as directors. This is all being accomplished through an exclusive partnership with Electronic Arts.
"EA approached us with this really interesting business model of creating a small studio that is only comprised of industry veterans," revealed Pacini, continuing, "The goal is to create new [intellectual property] with a very, very small team and to produce a game without having to grow that team." Not a bad idea, considering the ever-increasing costs of console development.
Due to this emphasis on prototyping, Armature should theoretically be able to take a lot more chances than the average developer. "Our studio is the grand experiment. It's kind of a really different take on how to make these larger scale games," commented Pacini. "It's really reasonable to go out on a limb and take a risk that we kinda think might be cool."
The deal with EA also means Armature will have nothing to do with the Metroid series for the foreseeable future. Series art director Todd Keller laments, "Personally, I would love to work on another Metroid game," continuing, "I have been in love with Metroid for years. We had a chance to recreate a game that was created way back when. That was awesome." With Armature out and Retro Studios on hiatus, who's left to take up the Metroid mantle?
While Metroid is no longer an option for the guys at Armature, working with EA opens up a lot of doors not previously available to them -- specifically, non-Nintendo platforms. Mark Pacini gushed about the possibilities:
"From my stand point, I've never worked on any other console. I've always made games for Nintendo. I'm reinvigorated. I'm really excited about what other opportunities are out there. How can we use Xbox Live? How can we use the power of the PS3? I think it really opens it up. I'm not saying it was by any means restrictive working for Nintendo. We had this palette to work on, the Wii and the DS, but now we have everything."
You can bet we'll keep an eye out for this new team's first project, whether it's on the PS3, 360, or Wii. Who knows, it might even turn up on iPhone -- a surprising number of things are these days.

Interesting Maneuver...Posted: Sep 17, 2008 12:00AM PST by FishBoneFredd
This is a very interesting move for EA. I know EA has been talking about more original IPs for awhile now, but this move is really putting your money were your mouth is.
This kind of thinking is what may push the industry forward. Let's just hope this risk pays off. I'll be keeping my eye on everything that comes out of this studio.
how am i a fool?Posted: Sep 16, 2008 12:00AM PST by abercrombieco2
how am i the fool, EA has published alot of pretty good games recently , i personaly really enjoyed Burnout paradise , and Battlefield Bad Company alot. Also i think ever since Moore has taken over the sports line up the quality in sports titles have been there best in years. I think EA has focused more on the pubslihing side of the video game industry instead of the Developmental side , see games like Mirrors Edge for example , an orignal game , that looks pretty good. With the high prices facing game developers these days a big pubsliher like EA is helping out the smaller developers who have the tallent to make good games , by giving the resorces that EA has to help them make the game they want to make. Yet on the internet people don't care about that stuff they just hate EA, but people have to go out there way to go on ea topcis to say how much they don't like EA , get a life.
"...instead of feeding the sequel machine."Posted: Sep 16, 2008 12:00AM PST by flaabs
Since when has EA not been "feeding the sequel machine"? Granted, they do publish a fair amount of original games every year, and some of them are damn good, but come on. Madden alone has kept said machine fat and happy for years and will continue to for the forseeabe future.
Reguardless, I certainly hope to see some worthwhile games come out of this partnership. These guy sare cleary very talented; Metroid Prime was nothing short of a masterpiece. I just hope EA doesn't interfere too much.
Interesting..Posted: Sep 16, 2008 12:00AM PST by KaelWolfcry
Seriously, this could be awesome if Armature develops unique and awesome prototypes. The only game that's shaken up things genre-wise has been Spore most recently, and it's good to see EA putting money into developing new IPs and ideas instead of feeding the sequel machine.
Hey, does this mean the EA doomsayers were just spouting bullshit? Imagine that...
@aberPosted: Sep 16, 2008 12:00AM PST by aurion7
I pity the fool. (You).
Also, the Metroid IP is owned by Nintendo. So yes, if Armature wanted to make a Metroid-like game, they would have to make it a Metroid-like game. It'd have to be a "rip off" of sorts. I loved the Metroid Prime series (I have 2+3), and I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do next.

"MP3 game w/ the power of a 360/ps3. AMAZING!!"
MP3 was one of the few games to actually make great use of the Wiimote. The game was also absolutely stunning.
I really hope Retro still does damn well, they were an incredible developer.
Togegawa1 are you stupidPosted: Sep 16, 2008 12:00AM PST by abercrombieco2
EA is going to Publish their games, they ( the ex metriod prime devs) are going to develop the games while EA Publishes it. Do you even know the diffence between a publishers job and a developers job? all the publisher does is markets the game yes im sure they throw in ideas but they mostly throw money at the games. It a game bombs its ussally the developers fault , however its funny cause morons on the internet who don't know the differnce blame the publisher EA "oh another bad game made by EA". .
Scanning rules!Posted: Sep 15, 2008 12:00AM PST by my_name_is_HenryGale
Yeah, I missed out on MP3 so if you guys could just make a total MP ripoff on the PS3/360 I would be totally pleased. Please, a game just isn't a game unless I can scan my environ. I'm not kidding that stuffs amazingly fun.
I'll keep an eyePosted: Sep 15, 2008 12:00AM PST by TrueNerd
A couple thoughts:
- With my unwavering love for the Prime trilogy, I'll be sure to watch what these guys do next.
- But maybe they're only good under Nintendo's watchful eye. Ya know, like Rare (and perhaps Silicon Knights) was.
- Is Retro gonna suck now without these key individuals?
Oh ManPosted: Sep 15, 2008 12:00AM PST by murderface
Metroid Prime was a stellar title. I mean, how they took a perfect 2-D formula and made it work 3-D style was friggin' awesome. I'm stoked to see what that talent could do on current-gen tech. Metriod on wii was good and all, but these guys could fly on the not wii. I just hope nintendo didn't have too much control.
wowPosted: Sep 15, 2008 12:00AM PST by abercrombieco2
i like how the first comment about anti ea has already come up , did you even read the arcticle ? probally not.
"While Metroid is no longer an option for the guys at Armature, working with EA opens up a lot of doors not previously available to them -- specifically, non-Nintendo platforms."
sounds like they wanted to work with ea , and not ea " absorbing another company".

A Berwick Development Trust could be established as the next stage in the borough's regeneration process.
The idea was floated at a meeting emtitled ' Taking the Borough Forward', held at the borough council last week to discuss the next step after the regeneration partnership committee stood down at the annual general meeting in September.
The development trust would be responsible for delivering targets set by the area's Local Strategic Plan.
25 years ago
Drawing to the end of its first month in existence, Berwick's Job Club, based at the Tweed View Hotel, has been successful in finding employment for three local people within the area.
Job Club leader, Dave Atkin, described the success stories as 'very encouraging', particularly as all posts were filled by males over 40 who often find it difficult to get back into employment.
The jobs are a receptionist, a factory checker, and a municipal worker.

A film had its northern premier in Tweedmouth on Tuesday. It was the £30,000 specially-made film 'To Janet a Son' and it was shown to 110 members of the Spittal Hall Community Association.
Also present, as their guests, were 20 members of the Tweedmouth Mothers' Club.
Attendance at North Sunderland Primary School have been cut almost in half because of an epidemic of mumps and chicken pox.

Quantities of ice have been floating down the Tweed within the past few days and carried out to sea.
The 18th annual concert of the Berwick branches of the Orphan Fund of the Amalgamate Society of Railway Servants took place in the Queen's Rooms when there was a large attendance.
The slippery roads have been the means of causing pedestrians to see "stars" in the day time.

Q. If one who was single were to retire early — say at 60 — would it be more beneficial to draw from savings and then collect Social Security at Full Retirement Age (FRA), or start collecting Social Security at 62?
— Not yet retired in Hamilton
A. Having the flexibility to retire early is a great thing, and it gives a single retiree some options in how they want to take Social Security benefits as a part of their overall income strategy.
If one has done all the proper planning to ensure their assets and income sources will accommodate their inflation-adjusted spending through retirement, then it typically makes good sense to defer Social Security income as part of your plan, said Jim Ciprich, a certified financial planner with RegentAtlantic Capital in Morristown.
He said Social Security should be viewed as a piece of your overall portfolio, which may be a mix of savings, taxable investments, tax-deferred retirement plans and other income sources.
"The benefit of deferring Social Security typically would outweigh the cost of dipping into your savings and investments in the early years of retirement," Ciprich said. "In many instances, even taking taxable IRA distributions would be warranted to allow your Social Security income benefits to grow."
There are reasons, though, some might want to take benefits at 62 instead of waiting. For example, if you have health concerns.
"As a single retiree, you don't have to worry about survivor benefits associated with Social Security for a spouse, so if you live into your early 80s or beyond, it makes sense to defer until your Full Retirement Age," he said. "If you felt that your mortality may be cut short, then it could make sense to take early."
Ciprich also said if you needed the income to cover living expenses, then it makes sense to take the income when available, as long as you understand this will typically reduce your benefit by nearly 25 percent compared to taking the benefit at age 66.
If you have the ability to defer Social Security even further, out to age 70, the benefit increases become even more substantial, he said.
"Between ages 66 and 70, your monthly benefits will increase by 8 percent each year," he said.
Ciprich offered this example, not assuming cost of living adjustments or reinvestment of benefits: If your primary insurance amount (PIA) at full retirement age 66 was $2,400 per month, you'd be taking 25 percent less, or $1,800 per month at age 62, or 32 percent more, or nearly $3,200 per month at age 70.
By allowing your benefit to grow well beyond age 62, you could create a substantial income source and longevity hedge to take you through your retirement years, he said.

A Stitch in Time
The quilt as love. It's an easy metaphor for Carolyn Mazloomi. Comfort, safety, security –– whether offered as solace or celebration, few things so aptly symbolize fond feelings the way that a handmade quilt does, capturing heartfelt sentiments with every stitch and literally blanketing someone with affection. "There's a reason why people are drawn to quilts: The first thing we're swathed in from birth is a piece of fabric," says Mazloomi, a West Chester residen...
Eye on the '60s
While his older brother Paul was co-writing the music that would help put the Beatles at the forefront of rock 'n' roll, Mike McCartney was making a lasting impression of his own. His compositions, however, were photographic ones, giving glimpses of life in his native Liverpool, England, during the 1960s. Through September 21, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is presenting "Mike McCartney's Liverpool Life," an exhibition comprising 65 black-and-white images he shot...
Faces of the Sculpture
Sculptor George Carruth wants to make you smile. For more than two decades, the Waterville stone carver has fashioned quirky cats, fanciful suns and moons and other funny faces in his Northwest Ohio studio. "Everything I do is lighthearted," he says. "They are feel-good stones." Carruth first became captivated with his craft in 1983, while he was a sculptor working at American Greetings and charged with bringing the company's Care Bears to life for use on figurines. During ...
La Chatelaine
Every year, as a treat, my high school French teacher, Mrs. Baker, would plan a field trip to La Chatelaine French Bakery and Bistro, a popular lunch spot that, while nearby, seemed a world away from the confines of our little school in Upper Arlington. One by one, we'd line up, cafeteria style, and nervously place our orders with French-speaking servers. Not much has changed about La Chatelaine (French for "lady of the castle") since I graduated from high school. It's grown in s...
Home and Garden
Americana on the Lake
When Columbus attorney John McDonald and his wife, interior designer Sally McDonald, built their Lake Erie summer cottage in 2006, they knew they wanted a cozy retreat for family and friends. They even considered calling it the Friendship Inn, for all the company they planned to host there on weekends. Though they decided the name was too cheesy, their wish of having a full house has been fulfilled. Summer weekends find the couple kicking back with friends on the home's screened-in porch with its ...
How the Garden Grows
Imagine a greenhouse that's never too hot or too cold. One where light intensity and wavelength are controlled with a simple computer. An energy-efficient place in which lilies bloom earlier than normal and tomato plants are always hearty. The Cleveland Botanical Garden and Kent State University have joined forces in an attempt to make that happen. The institutions are studying the growth of plants inside two separate 8-by-10-foot greenhouses installed at the CBG. One is made with typical single-l...
King of Creole
It's five minutes to 3 p.m. on a steamy June afternoon, and chef Henry Butcher's takeout restaurant, the Creole Kitchen in Columbus, still has lunch customers trickling in. It's hot outside, but the heat in his narrow, back-door-less kitchen borders on sauna-like. Butcher, who got here at 5 a.m. and has been on his feet and in the heat for nearly 10 hours, seems completely unfazed. "My grandmother gave me love for the kitchen," he says, a trait, as anyone who has ever worke...
Fantastic Flyers
Legend tells that an oriental dragonfly so pleased the emperor by eating a bothersome horsefly that the grateful "heaven ruler" bestowed the name Akitsushima, or Isle of the Dragonfly, upon Japan. A southwestern American Indian myth tells of the dragonfly being created by a boy who fashioned a toy out of cornhusks to brighten the spirits of his sister after she and he were abandoned by their parents. The toy eventually came to life as a dragonfly and became a messenger between gods and men. ...
Four-Wheel First
Tom Smith isn't really certain how he came to be so caught up in the story of C.R. Patterson, but thinks it has to do with the fact that they shared the same business. "My dad was in the car business, and I grew up in the car business," he muses. "I guess it was interesting to me. I've been searching for stuff on the guy since the mid-'80s." Today, he has a large collection. Henry May, on the other hand, is quite sure how he became attracted to Patterson's...
Kernels of Truth
People say corn is a vegetable. They are partly right. Corn in Millersport means tractor pulls and hog races. Corn in Wilmington is an antiques show on the county fairgrounds. Sweet corn sparks a bicycle sprint up hills as unforgiving as the cyclists' Spandex uniforms in Richfield, while Strasburg stages a basketball tournament. Ohioans are a hardworking people, but all we need to throw a party is enough time to line up the marching band. In the weeks between the harvest and the first fall chill, ...

The Somerlots are the first high school track coaches to be part of the Olympic team's coaching staff. Criss, 61, serves as an assistant coach for 12 competitors in t...

By the way, Bickell has been put back on Shaw line this last game and might have been in game 1 too, and he hasn't been the same offensive powerhouse everyone was worshipping earlier in playoffs.
he had a great series against us, but he is definitely not someone i would put as a high value target. he is a depth guy. the wings need a legit top 6 guy.

Conflict Sensitive Approaches to Development, Humanitarian Assistance and Peacebuilding
Over the last decade there has been a growing realisation
This Resource Pack seeks to document current practice, available
The Resource Pack is designed for governments, donors and civil society (local and international) involved in development, humanitarian assistance and peace building. It does not assume that the reader has extensive knowledge of conflict transformation nor is it an academic discussion of conflict and related concepts. Its primary concern is to provide an understanding of current practice, available frameworks and lessons learned in relation to conflict sensitivity. It is a broad umbrella capturing different approaches such as 'Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment' (PCIA) and 'Do No Harm', as well as less-known organic approaches developed by practitioners in the South. In this sense, it does not offer new tools but rather presents broad recommendations on conflict-sensitive practice that organizations will need to further adapt in the light of their operating context, their needs, and their operational structures.
The Resource Pack is organized in separate stand-alone units and does not need to be read from cover to cover. It is structured as follows:
Chapter 1: An Introduction to conflict-sensitive approaches to development, humanitarian assistance and peacebuilding provides an operational definition of conflict sensitivity and related principles. It situates conflict sensitivity within the current debates in the fields of development, humanitarian assistance and peace building.
Chapter 2: Conflict analysis describes what is in effect the central component of conflict sensitivity. Building on a compendium of tools and the lessons learned from their application, the chapter presents key elements of conflict analysis, and guidance on how to undertake it.
Chapter 3: Applying conflict sensitivity at project and programme level defines the project cycle, linking the conflict analysis to each constituent step of planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. It describes how to undertake each step in a conflict-sensitive fashion, and the major challenges faced in doing so.
Chapter 4: Integrating conflict sensitivity into sectoral approaches defines sector-wide approaches and presents a framework for integrating conflict sensitivity into the programming cycle.
Chapter 5: Institutional capacity building for conflict sensitivity recommends processes and strategies for mainstreaming conflict sensitivity in implementing organisations and their partners.

It's filth: Angus T. Jones trashes Two and a Half Men in religious testimonial
- From: news.com.au
- November 27, 2012
YOU'D think that if anyone was going to get Two and a Half Men into trouble now, it would be walking tabloid magnet Ashton Kutcher.
But no. Even if the show isn't all that surprising, the behind-the-scene dramas are.
"Half man" Angus T. Jones has taken the Charlie Sheen road to self-destruction and rounded on the show that pays his bills, calling it "filth".
But sex and drugs aren't to blame for Jones's diatribe.
He rails against the show in a 15-minute religious testimonial for the Christian website Forerunner Chronicles.
He directly urges viewers not to watch the sitcom just before the 8-minute mark. "If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching 'Two and a Half Men. I'm on Two and a Half Men, and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it, please stop filling your head with filth.
"People say it's just entertainment. Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you, you'll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch on television. It's bad news."
A year and a half ago Sheen attacked the show and its creator, Chuck Lorre. His character was written out of the show in response and Kutcher was hired as his replacement.
Two and a Half Men's makers had no comment on Jones's interview.
It's only a matter of time before Jon Cryer has a meltdown.

The shish kebab is a dish of small cubes of meat pierced and held in place on a skewer. Using this term as a reference to the act of love adds an exotic twist (brings up images of the middle east were shishkebabs were invented) to the already blunt metaphore of the skewer penetrating the meat.

AMAZING! Review by Darling Delilah
Price Value Quality
We have 36 of these and adore them. Make sure that you fully prep them with about 6 washes and dries before using and you won't have any leaking. To help speed drying time I turn them inside out and snap on the biggest setting. (Posted on 1/1/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
So easy! Review by Toniette
Price Value Quality
We use primarily prefolds, but I wanted to try some AIOs as well, and this is what we got. They're so easy to use! If I could do it over, I'd probably go with more of these, though they are quite the investment. These live in our diaper bag, since they're so easy when we're out! (Posted on 1/1/11)
Nice, but prefer the non-organic style Review by Kristen
Price Value Quality
I was surprised that the organic version of this diaper was very different than the non-organic one. It's a bit expensive, but understandable being organic. The construction and feel is beautiful, and it fit baby great right from the start. I don't like that it doesn't come apart like other pocket diapers. This is truly an all in one diaper that once worn is thrown into the wash bin all in one piece. That means there is no fiddling around with pockets, inserts, or whatever - makes it good for when we're out of the house. But the cover ends up sitting in the bin with all the other diapers/inserts and ends up in the dryer every time. (Posted on 7/6/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
Excellent diapers but falling apart after 18 months Review by Karole
Price Value Quality
We've used nothing but these diapers since our son was about 2 months old - he is now almost 20 months. The diapers are amazing. Great fit, no leaks, no diaper rash, easy to wash, and they look so cute. The ONLY time we ever suffered a poop explosion was when our guy was in disposables on holiday. We also bought a couple of the BumGenius 3.0 pocket diapers, but hated them. They seem to leak more, retain stink, are a bit more finicky to use (because of the pocket) and I loathe the idea of possibly carcinogenic polyester next to baby's skin.
My only gripe with the organics is they have deteriorated a lot in 18 months. We've had a couple of broken snaps, but as the diapers were still covered by warranty, Cotton Babies replaced these without hassle. Now there are holes in almost every layer of cotton in almost every diaper. I don't know how they can suggest that one might be able to diaper a second child with a one-time investment of diapers. We have 25 diapers in rotation, so somewhat less than the 36 they recommend. I don't know if they'd be showing much less wear if I had a few more in the mix.
All in all, if we do have a second baby, I'll definitely be buying a new batch of these.
A note from the bynature.ca family: Thanks for your review! We've written an informative article on the cycle of wear and tear for cloth diapers that can be found here, http://www.bynature.ca/cloth-diapers-investment.html. I hope you find a few tips to help extend the life of your investment. (Posted on 5/16/11)
