The Evolution of Deathmatch and the War on Violence
Cover Story: Where does the modern landscape of player versus player fall within an endless cycle of political attack?
e have a responsibility to our kids and our communities to protect against the effects of games that depict ultra- violent actions, just as we already do with movies." Then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger April 27, 2010
The State of California recently came very close to imposing some of the most stringent sanctions to be brought against any American medium with the passing of AB 1179 in 2005, a law which would have fined retailers for selling games deemed violent by the state. Though the Supreme Court recently overturned California's blatant disregard of the First Amendment by affirming a lower court's judgment that the law violated the constitution, the victory stands as merely the latest in what is sure to continue to be an uphill battle for game makers and game retailers.
Schwarzenegger's statements, as well as those provided by an eclectic cross section of professors, physicians, and psychologists during this latest battle, bear a striking resemblance to those presented in the past for nearly exactly the same reasons. As the moon wanes and waxes with such succinct regularity, so too do video games and more specifically deathmatch titles, seem to draw the ire of self-ascribed white knights from both sides of what is today such a savagely partisan political spectrum.
While the charges brought against Mortal Kombat and Night Trap in December of 1994 have garnered the greatest celebrity for the press it generated and the resulting shockwaves that gave the industry its current rating system and the ESA, it wasn't the first time the industry had come under fire. As Tristan Donovan wrote in his book, Replay: The History of Video Games, "There were the bomb threats that followed the hit-and-run driving game Death Race, the outrage over the pornographic Custer's Revenge, and the 1985 protests about the release of Raid Over Moscow in the UK."
The two titles that had inspired Joseph Lieberman to attempt to leverage an intended total ban on violent video games were of course the most graphic the industry had to offer. When Lieberman called the first of what would be many briefings, the unsuspecting press, "like many adults in the U.S. at the time...were unaware of these games, let alone their gory content 'We're not talking Pac-Man or Space Invaders anymore,' Lieberman told the stunned journalists. 'We're talking about video games that glorify violence and teach children to enjoy inflicting the most gruesome forms of cruelty imaginable.'
Similarly exaggerated content in games has since inspired the same reactions. There was the original spat about headshots incurred by the sniper rifle in Grand Theft Auto III and the "hot-coffee" mod that saw the ESRB impose an adults-only rating on San Andreas that forced Take-Two to lose millions by pulling copies from shelves.
And on the periphery has always been first person shooters and titles touted for their deathmatch gameplay. While the original Doom escaped Lieberman's original attacks on violence in games, it received gratuitous attention for being a favorite title of students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold who committed the Columbine High School shooting in April of 1999. In tapes filmed before the shootings occurred and released by Time Magazine after the event, the teenagers referenced the video game multiple times, Harris at one point saying how his shotgun was straight from the game.
Where there is adolescent gun violence there inevitably follows a political attack on video games corrupting and desensitizing America's youth. Most famous of such incidents was former Florida attorney Jack Thompson's preemptory allegations that Seung-Hui Cho, the gunman who opened fire on students and teachers of the Virginia Tech campus April 16, 2007, was the result deathmatch staple, Counter-Strike, before the harrowing events had even come to a close.
"These are real lives. These are real people that are in the ground now because of this game. I have no doubt about it," said Thompson to Fox News. It became obvious after the incident had transpired that no one could be sure that Cho had ever played the game at all. He didn't own a copy nor had any of his roommates ever witnessed him playing it. Of course the truth behind any of these allegations is never the true concern for self-ascribed crusaders.
Where children psychologists and professors will time and time again come to vouch for violent video games' destructive effects on America's youth, there still remains no proof that a true causal relation actually exists. In a hearing in the wake of the Columbine shootings January 2001, the Surgeon General stated, "We clearly associate media violence to aggressive behavior, but the impact was very small compared to other things. Some may not be happy with that, but that's where the science is." A report titled The Safe School Initiative published July 2004 by the Secret Service found that of 41 individuals involved in school shootings only, "one eighth of the attackers exhibited an interest in violent video games (12 %, n=5)."
And while the argument came to a head once again with California's latest move towards a state governed rating system, opponents still have failed to generate a factual basis for what they deem such an essential battle. In an essay published in the fall of 2010 titled Video Games and Youth Violence: A Prospective Analysis in Adolescents, Christopher J Ferguson, associate professor of psychology and criminal justice at Texas A&M International University said, "At present, a small number of prospective designs have examined video game violence influences on player aggression. Thus far, results have been mixed and arguably limited by use of aggression measures that do not necessarily tap well into serious aggression or violence, nor use sophisticated controls for third or confounding variables." In other words, in lacking any true "control" and measuring "confounding variables," no real studies have actually been performed.
In evaluating the limited data gathered about the issue, Ferguson ruled out the possibility of a true relation between violent video games and violence. He said, "A reasonable argument and debate for small influences could probably still be made although statements reflecting strong, broad effects generalizable to serious acts of youth violence are at current, likely unwarranted. This is particularly important to note given that, as video games have become more widespread over the past few decades, the incidence rate of criminal youth violence has declined sharply; it has not increased as feared."
And it is the difference between a causal and correlative link that is so important. Within reason, it is possible to draw correlative relations between any number of dissonant things through statistical analysis. But to establish true causal relationships is much more difficult. If Doom, Counter Strike, or Call of Duty did cause the disconnect and abnormal violent behavior in America's youth that opponents like Joe Lieberman, Hillary Clinton, and Jack Thompson so vigorously ascertain, than it would follow that violent crime in general would naturally rise now that three plus generations of gamers have grown up to constitute a larger portion of the U.S. population. But on the contrary, crime has been on a steady and steep decline since it reached menacing highs in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
The Economist recently reported, "Crime in America has plummeted since its numerical peak in 1992; the violent sort by 38%, according to FBI statistics." While no one can say with any certainty why crime has so steadily dropped it goes without saying that since the inception of household gaming with Atari's consoles and later the NES in the early to mid '80s, society has not become more violent. In fact, since its peak in 1992 and the release of the first true deathmatch title, Doom, in December 1993, even considering the evolution of deathmatch titles into more hyper-realistic experiences, American society has statistically grown more peaceful.
Despite these realities, the California law was a very different beast than past encroachments against creative content in video games. Rather than ban titles outright, the state levied for a vague sanction against retailers from selling games with "'killing, maiming, dismembering, or sexually assaulting an image of a human being,' in a way that is 'patently offensive,' appeals to a, 'deviant or morbid interest' and lacks 'serious, literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.'"
The law would have bypassed the pre-existing ESRB rating system and instead would have imposed fines on retailers for selling titles the state deemed generally uncouth to minors. The question of course arose: how or where does one draw the line about content falling into one category or another? Especially considering teen rated blockbusters like Uncharted, which feature dedicated deathmatch and a massive albeit bloodless body count, so obviously fall within a troublesome grey area. Moreover, does the government have any legitimate authority to so obviously infringe on the Constitutional right to Free Speech, especially when the ESRB, as discovered by a 2011 Federal Trade Commission investigation, is already preventing the sale of Mature titles to minors 87 % of the time -- the highest success rate for any ratings system across any medium? Politicians looking for a problem where none exists seems the most likely answer.
While the Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision in a 7-2 vote, the justices stood at odds in its wake of what to make of the issue. After the hearing, The Washington Post reported, "Writing for the majority, Justice Antonin Scalia said that 'like the protected books, plays and movies that preceded them, video games communicate ideas -- and even social messages' that are guarded by the First Amendment."
But other Judges expressed the desire for similar restrictions, though less vague, to be introduced. Judge Alito said video games, "may be very different from anything we have seen before." He went on to describe, "games in which players can reenact the killings at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech; in which the goal is raping Native American women or killing ethnic and religious minorities; in which new technology may allow a player to actually feel the splatting blood from the blown-off head of a victim."
No matter the setting or landscape, what draws players in is human beings' competitive spirit.
Alito's words exhibit how the media and politicians often focus on an explicit minority within the interactive medium. That minority contains hotly contested titles like Custer's Revenge, Night Trap, and Postal, but what's more interesting to consider is the evolution of deathmatch titles that have typically taken the periphery throughout games' various assaults. Where Doom, Quake, and Unreal Tournament represented the nearly singular vision of hyper-fantasy in deathmatch titles past, they have evolved into a more realistic extension of our own global socio-political spectrum. Medal of Honor and Call of Duty first introduced the landscapes of WWII to deathmatch, but with the first Rainbow Six, then Counter-Strike, and later Modern Warfare, our own post 9-11 climate was replicated into virtual worlds for players to kill within.
Despite having no true bearing to real world violence it does pose an interesting quandary for decency in how casually we assume virtual roles within a real-world war that takes lives every day in the periphery of American life. But perhaps that is the true question. No matter the setting or landscape, whether the science fiction of Doom or the Middle Eastern deserts of Modern Warfare 3, what draws players in is human beings' competitive spirit. If the titles' aesthetic story elements were stripped away to a crude abstract of simple polygons, the draw for many would remain the same.
But what are the rejected California law and the infinite cycle of briefings and sub-committee investigations most indicative of? Of a governing body too old, out of touch, and riddled with bureaucratic tail chasing. Rather than solve issues of more immediate and necessary attention (i.e. the issue of climate change, various debt driving wars in the Middle East, or the finite quandary of our existing social security system) they'd rather burn up tax money (the annual salary for senators is 174,000 and on average spend $1,446,009 in provided government allowances or their "MRA" for "official and representational duties.") to turning the cogs of a meaningless system for hot button issues that drive headlines and entertain the possibility of turning voters across party lines.
In bringing such issues to the stake politicians run only the risk of dissociating a population of largely non-voters (18-24 year olds, no doubt a widening gap as well) while appearing to hold "higher" moral standards in chasing issues most important to an ever aging and digitally ignorant voting population dominated by baby-boomers. It's interesting to consider the very Governor that positioned such a vocal stance against violence in the interactive medium made his fortune and celebrity from a career of violent, dark, and sexually explicit 80's cinema- a number of which films are very easily obtainable through Netflix and other streaming services. Services which are often designated to logging in automatically on devices that an unsupervised child could browse to their unknowing heart's content.
Even amidst such conflagration if Call of Duty and Counter-Strike's impressive continued sales are any indication, deathmatch is here to stay. And despite any true cause for rational concern so too will the debate continue over video games and the non-existent corruption of America's youth. It's hard to say what this means for the Halos and Modern Warfares of gaming's future, but as the median age for the gaming population further climbs into parenting ages, one can only hope it becomes the non-issue it truly is with fresh blood and fresh perspectives in our Senate and the House of Representatives.

it´s a shame isn´t itPosted: Oct 11, 2012 12:00AM PST by soulsaver
Especially given the disparate landscape of American television, where violence is portrayed much more openly than, let´s say, sex. Unfortunately, without greater understanding, the majority of people who don´t know video games very well generally don´t take a closer look at video games and see that for a game to explicitly promote violent behavior is rare, and most often we are given a choice (unless, obviously, the theme is war for example). Too little credit is given to good parenting and individual volition.
RealityPosted: Oct 10, 2012 12:00AM PST by slyguy13
The sad reality is, man will always look for a scapegoat for violent behaviour. What have kids been taught since youth, it's okay to kill if it's for your country. Governments use war to resolve problems. I have been gaming for decades and I will admit, there are some games that I feel go too far. That being said I choose not to play them, if someone else plays them, that's their choice. I don't think you need a game filled with sex, blood or violence in order for it to be fun. I agree with what's said, it's more about the competitive spirit of people as opposed to what is actually on the screen. My concern though is if you get the right people in government to buy in, a law like this will go in to affect regardless of common sense. I live in Ontario Canada where one man in government decided Pitbulls posed too big a risk to society and so had them banned in this province. There were no numbers to back up these claims, there were a couple of news reports about vicious attacks, and that's all it took.
Video games or not, society has always had it's share of violent offenders. If all violent video games were to be removed from the shelf today, it wouldn't change that fact. When politicians realize that, they will just choose another scapegoat to blame. Easier to do that then look in the mirror I suppose.

your assertion that "(i)f the titles' aesthetic story elements were stripped away to a crude abstract of simple polygons, the draw for many would remain the same." As a person who sells video games as part of his job, that statement isn't as broad as you, or I, would like it to be. When given a choice, younger gamers in particular will tend to gravitate to more violent games, as opposed to games that may have similar game mechanics, but lack the body count or gore quantity. I am distinctly haunted by a 9 year old's rejection of a game because "you don't kill anything." Somewhere along the way (maybe in '92), the idea that "grown-up" games HAD to be violent became the norm. And anyone wishing to be more "grown up" now craves these games. Sometimes, even, into adulthood. I'm not suggesting that every game should be Pokemon Snap, but it's curious that it stands as the only FPS I can think of that doesn't require to player to actually shoot anything.
MehPosted: Oct 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by MechaSlinky
Yeah, but that's typical of children to crave entertainment that is typically not meant for them but which can still appeal to their stupid, smelly child brains with lots of flashing lights and mindless action.
Older gamers who still have that mentality are just children in bigger, hairier bodies.
Hmmm...Posted: Oct 10, 2012 12:00AM PST by Chi_the_Boss
"FPS I can think of that doesn't require to player to actually shoot anything." FPS=First person shooter. Wouldn't that be silly to have a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER game where you cannot shoot anything? I don't understand your logic. If you can't shoot anything, then it has stopped being a FPS game.
"When given a choice, younger gamers in particular will tend to gravitate to more violent games" Little kids will always be that way(I was that way when I was a kid). Even back before TV and video games existed, little kids would make wooden swords and pretend to fight and kill each other. Back then it was considered normal and nowadays everyone wants to curb every form of imagination, even video games. I remember playing cops and robbers when I was a little kid and I was always the robber. Did I turn into a mass murdering criminal?
Shoot doesn't have to mean gun.Posted: Oct 13, 2012 12:00AM PST by Captain_Gonru
There are a couple paintball games out there, most of which don't get much hype because, as I understand it, they suck from a gameplay perspective. Pokemon Snap was an example of a game where you shoot pictures with a camera, as opposed to shooting beings with a gun.
And it isn't just kids that have that viewpoint on violence. Many adults dismiss anything from certain companies as "kiddie", simply because of it's lack of violence,
And I would repeat the point the author made in the article regarding the decline of violent crimes in the early 90's. This was occuring at the same time as many of the toys were becoming less realistic-looking, and the rise of more games and toys that relied on more friendly interactions between players. One can't help but draw some sort of parallel there. So even if Chi_the_Boss didn't grow up to be a mass murdering criminal, some other kids didn't either.
I do want to close by saying that I have no issue with "violent" games being on the market. I also have no issue with store policies that keep the parents involved in what their kids play. People in a free society must have the right to make choices for themselves, free from censorship by any legislative body (barring that the creation of such material doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights, of course). I guess my only, (concern? worry? thought?) revolves around what it says about that society when the majority of its most popular forms of entertainment involve death and violence of a graphic nature.

AS A RESULT of a recent discussion of catheterization of female patients for bacteriologic study of the urine, it became evident that a great variety of technics are being used at the present time. The information given in some textbooks on urology, on pediatrics, and on laboratory diagnosis is merely that for bacteriologic examination of the urine of the female a catheterized specimen must be obtained, and if a definite technic of catheterization is described it usually is rather complicated and necessitates washing the hands several times, washing the vulva, and the application of antiseptics.

NORTHAMPTON - A 20-year-old Whately man was arrested Tuesday after an incident where police say he threatened two Taco Bell employees with a stun gun.
Just before 11 p.m., police were called to the KFC/Taco Bell restaurant at 203 King St. for a reported fight, according to Northampton police Lt. Jody Kasper. Upon arrival, officers were told that Christopher Bohonowicz had allegedly threatened two employees with a stun gun following an argument.
The restaurant, which opened in Dec. 2008 as the company's first eco-friendly location, did have other patrons inside at the time.
"There was a crowd of people outside the restaurant and as Bohonowicz was trying to leave, people pointed him out," Kasper said. "I'm not going to release what the dispute was about, but no one was injured."
Bohonowicz was charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon and taken into custody without incident.
He was booked and expected to be arraigned Wednesday morning.

The Apple TV 3 jailbreak isn't out yet, but FireCore, the maker of Seas0nPass jailbreaking tool for Apple TV, has just shared some info on the status of this jailbreak:
jailbreak atv3
Fans of the Apple TV who prefer to make their own rules have been waiting patiently for news of a jailbreak for the Apple TV 3. But while JailbreakCon 2012 had a lot to offer for many, fans of the Apple TV were left with very few hard facts. There were obviously no demonstrations of any new jailbreak, and nitoTV had even less information to share on future availability.
Remember last week when pod2g tweeted that neither he nor anyone he knows of was working on the Apple TV 3 jailbreak? We asked you to cool down and to never lose a hope since we knew there were people working on this. The confirmation that the work is ongoing on this particular jailbreak came from 9to5Mac, as they have learned that "a jailbreak for the third-generation Apple TV is indeed in the works from someone with close knowledge of the project":
iOS hacker and Chronic Dev Team member pod2g announced on his Twitter that he is not working on Apple TV 3 jailbreak. Even worse, according to his recent tweet, no one he's aware of is working on this jailbreak:
You know the story: p0sixninja left the Chronic Dev Team after selling iBoot 0day exploit to an (ex?)Apple employee (more details here). There was a lot of speculations on whether or not the iBoot exploit could have been used to jailbreak Apple TV 3.
Amazon is selling the new 1080p Apple TV for $89.99 with free shipping. That's the lowest price ever offered by Amazon for Apple TV 3. Get the little hockey puck now, since this offer may not last long.
Although the jailbreak for Apple TV 3 is not available yet, the Apple TV community is working hard to bring it to you as soon as possible.

Senator Jon Tester is asking Senate leaders to prevent the U.S. Postal Service from closing post offices and area mail processing facilities for at least six months, allowing more time for Congress to "enact reforms necessary" for the organization to succeed.
Tester has continually opposed the Postal Service's plans to close numerous post offices and processing facilities across Montana. In a letter to be sent to Senate Leaders, Tester proposes adding a provision to an upcoming appropriations bill to prevent any closures for the next six months.
"We are concerned that the Postal Service may preempt Congress on this matter by closing or consolidating nearly 3,700 mostly rural post offices, over 250 mail processing facilities, and eliminating overnight delivery for first class mail before postal reform legislation is enacted," Tester wrote.
In August, the Postal Service announced plans to close 85 Montana post offices, and more recently recommended consolidating mail processing facilities in Kalispell, Missoula, Helena, Butte, and Wolf Point. The Postal Service is struggling financially due to a 2006 law – passed before Tester was a member of the Senate – which set a formula for the pre-funding of employee health benefits. Tester says more time is needed to fix the 2006 law in a way that protects Montanans.
"While some of these changes may be needed, we believe that it is very important to give Congress the opportunity to reform the postal service in a way that protects universal service while ensuring its financial viability for decades to come," Tester wrote.
A six-month freeze on closures will allow Congress time to examine the numerous proposals that seek to reform the Postal Service.
Tester, a member of the Senate committee that oversees the Postal Service, is a leading critic of plans to close postal facilities in Montana and across rural America.
Tester supported a bipartisan amendment to the 21st Century Postal Service Act that prevents the Postal Service from closing rural post offices until it establishes clear criteria for determining whether a post office should be closed.

Display session, Friday, January 09
Exhibit Hall,
We present the results of a survey, of 16 edge-on galaxies, in search for discrete disk-halo features (i.e. spurs) and/or extended radio continuum emission (halos). In addition to 20 cm VLA data, 6 cm VLA data of comparable resolution were acquired for 5 of the galaxies. The spectral index for these objects shows that the radio emission is due to synchrotron radiation.
The full survey suggests that, independent of the global star formation rate, all galaxies (except one) show evidence for high latitude radio emission either beyond the projection of the optical disk or beyond a smoothed thin disk model. Thus energy is being exchanged between the galaxies' disks and their halos. CRs originate in star forming regions which reside in disks. However mechanisms other than starbursts, for example disk instabilities caused by galaxy-galaxy interactions, may also play an important role in transporting the CRs to high latitudes.
The author(s) of this abstract have provided an email address for comments about the abstract: email@example.com

Mahalo to the many generous and supportive residents and visitors of Maui, who have responded to my calls for volunteers and donors to Habitat for Humanity Maui.
You have made an impact for over 70 families. Please continue your partnership until homelessness and poverty is eliminated!
I will be leaving my position for a new venture with St. Anthony Junior Senior High School as the admissions director.
Cheryl Pokipala

MEO Head Start would like to extend an enormous thank you to the Kiwanis Club of the Valley Isle.
Dawn DeRego of the Kiwanis Club of the Valley Isle and her crew of volunteers tirelessly campaign each summer for community donations for their program "Project Backpack - Equipped to Learn."
Thanks to their hard work and community generosity, 312 backpacks, complete with all necessary supplies, were provided to families of MEO Head Start and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui.
Here at MEO Head Start preschool program (as with any school), summer and fall are times of much transition. As we welcome in newcomers each school year, we are also saying a bittersweet farewell to those who are heading off to kindergarten.
It's amazing to see the 3- and 4-year-old children who have been in our care "grow up" and make the shift from preschoolers to self-sufficient kindergartners.
Working together with their parents, the teaching staff strives to give each child the gift of a love of learning and excitement about what lies ahead in the "big kids" school.
This school-readiness can be tremendously dampened when families aren't able to provide backpacks and basic supplies to their children. Sadly, this is common stressor for Maui families.

OpenOffice proposed as Apache project
Oracle is to propose that OpenOffice.org becomes an Apache Software Foundation (ASF) project and enters the Apache incubation process. The proposal comes six weeks after Oracle abandoned commercial development of OpenOffice and said it was looking for a way to have the office suite managed by the community. Luke Kowalski, vice president of Oracle's Corporate Architecture Group said "Donating OpenOffice.org to Apache gives this popular consumer software a mature, open, and well established infrastructure to continue well into the future".
Projects do not immediately become Apache top-level projects though. The incubation process allows the newly arrived project to work with mentors at the ASF and move towards operating in "The Apache Way", synchronising with the licensing practices, meritocratic governance and all the other elements of how Apache projects work.

For instance if you were assembling a CSS style navigation menu with list itmes. Is there a better choice. I would assume that using the <dl> tag when actually defining something should be better in that instance, but what about the instance above (CSS navigation?)
Any thoughts, experiences?

From shopping malls to cool cafes, a Taiwanese tea with a chewy surprise at the bottom has sparked a new trend
The first time you try bubble tea, don't be surprised if whoever is serving it seems to take a keen interest in your response. "You always try to sneak a look," says Claire Buyson, who runs Lakwatsa, a dedicated bubble tea lounge in Notting Hill, London. "Some of the reactions can be very funny." Helen Chan, who owns two bubble tea shops in London, agrees. "It's hard not to watch," she says. "Bubble tea virgins' faces can be priceless. Sometimes, they look completely surprised. Other times you can tell they absolutely hate it."

Hot Stove Society Cooking Class
By Ashley Bode | October 23, 2014
Hotel Andra
2000 4th Avenue
Seattle, WA
Spend an afternoon with Tom Douglas and Marcus Samuelsson as they demo recipes from his new book "Marcus off duty: The Recipes I cook at Home." Guests will receive tastes of each recipe along with a copy of the book.
Marcus Samuelsson is owner of Red Rooster restaurant in Harlem and former Executive Chef and co-owner of New York's Restaurant Aquavit, AQ Cafe at Scandinavia House, and Riingo. The youngest chef ever to receive two three-star ratings from the New York Times, he starred on Discovery Home Channel's Inner Chef television series. His cookbooks include Aquavit and the New Scandinavian Cuisine, The Soul of a New Cuisine, which won the 2007 James Beard Foundation Award for best international cookbook, and New American Table.
In this book, the chef who former President Bill Clinton says "has reinvigorated and reimagined what it means to be American" serves up the dishes he makes at his Harlem home for his wife and friends. The recipes blend a rainbow of the flavors he experienced in his travels—Ethiopian, Swedish, Mexican, Caribbean, Italian, and Southern soul. His eclectic, casual food includes dill-spiced salmon; coconut-lime curried chicken; mac, cheese, and greens; chocolate pie spiced with Indian garam masala; and for kids, peanut noodles with slaw. This is an inside glimpse into how one of the world's top chefs cooks in his home kitchen for those nearest and dearest to him.

Council President Young Calls for Special Session of the General Assembly to Avoid Devastating 'Doomsday Budget'
The more than $500 million in cuts would negatively impact Maryland's counties and result in significant reductions to vital services in Baltimore City, including layoffs of police officers and prosecutors and the reduction of much-needed funding for public schools.
"Maryland, and Baltimore in particular, has experienced tremendous progress in reducing crime and improving public education," City Council President Young said. "Now is not the time to turn away from our commitment to funding these core priorities that have greatly benefited residents of Baltimore City and Maryland's counties."
Council President Young's resolution will be introduced tonight during the City Council's regularly scheduled meeting.

In the past decade, he has been a fervent evangelist of books and reading, traveling the country and spreading his message in galleries and, as a graffitist, in the public sphere. Following his recent exhibition at Ditch Projectsin Springfield, titled "Read Up in a Down Economy,"The Reader brings his multimedia work to Portland, transforming the U of O White Box with "Affective Duplication."
Nearly every component of the show is anchored in the visual language of books and reading.
Various suites of collaged posters, which replicate the bold graphic style of propaganda, repeat images of opened books and are pieced together from printed ephemera, such as receipts, grocery lists and hand-written notes. Nearby, a large-scale sculpture is fabricated from a dozen newspaper dispensers. Painted in various cheery colors, stippled with gunshots, and stenciled and stacked like a child's wooden letter blocks, the repurposed racks spell out their message in the plainest of terms: "RE-READ BOOKS."
In the White Box's video gallery, a stop-motion animation is simultaneously projected onto three walls from another modified newspaper box. As stickers and scraps of paper pile up in the video, snippets of text spring to life, imploring viewers to read.
Most impressively, The Reader has installed tall panels of rusted corrugated steel, imbuing the space with an industrial quality and fashioning a dark and claustrophobic passage between the front and rear galleries.
Walking through the makeshift tunnel, viewers discover subtly glowing lights that peek out through grates and bullet holes in the steel, revealing hidden spaces and additional work only visible through those peepholes.
While The Reader's overarching message is conveyed so directly that it's impossible to miss, his work draws its real power from the suggestion that existing in the world is itself a kind of reading.
In one series of posters, an upside-down image of the United States is paired with the phrases "coast to coast" and "cover to cover" (which, in another piece in the series, morphs into "over and over"). Here, his travels across the country are cast as a repeated interaction with a text -- one that is so rich it demands to be reread endlessly. In that sense, his literary appeals become challenges to remain wide-eyed and engaged -- and to always read between the lines.
-- John Motley

CHERRY HILL — Nashville it's not.
But to Tracy DiBiase, who has been hitting country bars every weekend for the last eight years, the South Jersey country and western scene is just the place to cheer up an achy breaky heart.
"The guys here look great," she swoons, casting her eye across the crowded dance floor at Club Maverick, one of South Jersey's many country institutions. Her penchant has something to do with the music, too: "You've felt the way they're singing."

On Wednesday more than 1,000 students from Catholic Central and West Catholic high schools will take to the streets of Grand Rapids in the 21st annual "All A's Walk."
The three-mile trek to John Ball Park is the culmination of a month-long effort on the part of students to raise $100,000 to assist Catholic Secondary Schools families with tuition costs.
The walk begins at approximately 9:15 a.m. Wednesday and ends at John Ball Park at approximately 10 a.m. Each school follows a separate route to the park, converging at the corner of Seward and Fulton streets at about 9:45 to complete the walk together.
All A's Walk is one of the biggest fundraisers for the Catholic
Secondary Schools Annual Fund, which provides grants to families who
need help meeting tuition costs.
Students were asked to raise $75 each with a total goal for both schools of $100,000, or nearly a quarter of the Annual Fund goal. About one-third of Catholic secondary school students in Grand Rapids benefitted from aid last year. The Bishop's Fund for Catholic Education also contributes funds to be used for tuition scholarships, as does the diocese in the form of parish support for tuition.
"Our students want to give others the opportunity to experience Catholic Central," said Catholic Central Principal Greg Deja. "Indeed, many of them know personally the importance of this assistance. By participating in this walk we as a school are answering the call to serve family and community."
"Both schools join together once every year to walk as one student body, displaying unity among Catholic schools," said West Catholic Advancement Director Ken Baldwin. "Our students have been so motivated and so energized answering the call to help future generations attend our schools. It is truly amazing to see over 1,000 kids gathered together in support of the same great cause."

I broke my W30 yesterday and wouldn't you know it, today I am down another pound to reach a total of 10 lbs lost this month. I took my measurements - down 8 inches this month too. Holy moly!!
I will be starting my next W30 on Monday. This weekend I'm going to enjoy some cream cheese pancakes and a few non-primal goodies, then get back on board. I really think W30/100% Paleo is the life for me. If I follow the 80/20 that's allowed in Primal, i end up doing more like a 50/50... There is no such thing as "moderation" for me. If you tell me I can have a piece of cake, I can guarantee I'll have 3, and then more later. I do better with strict rules and structure, I think. Maybe that's why I did 9 years in the Army and I'm STILL going to school. My mom said I've always been good with school and military b/c I was told what to do... W30 tells me what to do as well. Must be why it works for me.
Anyhow, I enjoy it and that's what matters.
I ordered my VFF's yesterday. They warp speeded them to the truck, but the truck is driving slowly b/c I won't get them til Wednesday next week. I'm anxious and want them NOW! *sigh*

Then round and pretty in the mouth, with a lovely spiciness to the red fruit flavors. Very suave, sexy pinot with sweet lingering fruit and no shortage of grip. (Terra Firma, Oakland, CA)

Alert Views
Alert views display a concise and informative alert message to the user. Alert views convey important information about an app or the device, interrupting the user and requiring them to stop what they're doing to choose an action or dismiss the alert. For example, iOS uses alerts to warn the user that battery power is running low, so they can connect a power adapter before their work is interrupted. An alert view appears on top of app content, and must be manually dismissed by the user before he can resume interaction with the app.
Purpose. Alert views allow users to:
Be immediately informed of critical information
Make a decision about a course of action
Implementation. Alert views are implemented in the
UIAlertView class and discussed in the UIAlertView Class Reference.
Configuration. Alert views are created, initialized, and configured in code, typically residing in a view controller implementation file.
Content of Alert Views (Programmatic)
You cannot create or manipulate alert views in Interface Builder. Rather, an alert view floats over an existing view to interrupt its presentation, and it requires the user to dismiss it. If an alert view contains a custom button enabling the users to choose an alternative action, rather than simply dismissing the alert, that action is handled by the alert view's delegate.
When setting alert view content, you can control the number of buttons, their titles, displayed text, and inclusion of one or two text fields, one of which can be a secure text-input field.
When you create an alert view object from the
UIAlertView class, you can initialize its most important properties with one method,
initWithTitle:message:delegate:cancelButtonTitle:otherButtonTitles:. Depending on your app's needs, that single message may be enough to configure a fully functional alert object, as shown in the following code. After you have created the alert object, send it a
show message to display the alert.
UIAlertView *theAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title"
message:@"This is the message."
[theAlert show];
Every alert has a Cancel button so that the user can dismiss the alert. You can add additional, custom buttons to enable the user to perform some other action related to the alert, such as rectifying the problem the alert warned about. Although you can add multiple custom buttons to an alert, iOS Human Interface Guidelines recommend that you limit alerts to two buttons, and consider using an action sheet instead if you need more.
To add a titled custom button to an alert, send it an
addButtonWithTitle: message. Alternatively, you can pass the custom button title, followed by a comma and
nil terminator, with the
otherButtonTitles: parameter when you initialize the alert view object.
Optionally, an alert can contain one or two text fields, one of which can be a secure text-input field. You add text fields to an alert after it is created by setting its
alertViewStyle property to one of the styles specified by the
UIAlertViewStyle constants. The alert view styles can specify no text field (the default style), one plain text field, one secure text field (which displays a bullet character as each character is typed), or two text fields (one plain and one secure) to accommodate a login identifier and password.
Behavior of Alert Views (Programmatic)
If your alert has a custom button, you must designate a delegate to handle the button's action, and the delegate must conform to the
UIAlertViewDelegate protocol. You designate the delegate with the
delegate parameter when you initialize the alert view object. The delegate must implement the
alertView:clickedButtonAtIndex: message to respond when the custom button is tapped; otherwise, your custom buttons do nothing. For example, the following code shows an implementation that simply logs the title of the button that was tapped:
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)theAlert clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
NSLog(@"The %@ button was tapped.", [theAlert buttonTitleAtIndex:buttonIndex]);
In the delegate method
alertView:clickedButtonAtIndex:, depending on which button the user tapped, you can retrieve the values of text fields in your alert view with the
textFieldAtIndex: method.
if (theAlert.alertViewStyle == UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput) {
NSLog(@"The login field says %@, and the password is %@.",
[theAlert textFieldAtIndex:0].text, [theAlert textFieldAtIndex:1].text);
The alert view is automatically dismissed after the
alertView:clickedButtonAtIndex: delegate method is invoked. Optionally, you can implement the
alertViewCancel: method to take the appropriate action when the system cancels your alert view. An alert view can be canceled at any time by the system—for example, when the user taps the Home button. If the delegate does not implement the
alertViewCancel: method, the default behavior is to simulate the user clicking the cancel button and closing the view.
Appearance of Alert Views
You cannot customize the appearance of alert views.
Using Auto Layout with Alert Views
The layout of alert views is handled for you. You cannot create Auto Layout constraints between an alert view and another user interface element.
For general information about using Auto Layout with iOS views, see Using Auto Layout with Views.
Making Alert Views Accessible
Alert views are accessible by default.
Accessibility for alert views pertains to the alert title, alert message, and button titles. If VoiceOver is activated, it speaks the word "alert" when an alert is shown, then speaks its title followed by its message if set. As the user taps a button, VoiceOver speaks its title and the word "button." As the user taps a text field, VoiceOver speaks its value and "text field" or "secure text field."
For general information about making iOS views accessible, see Making Views Accessible.
Internationalizing Alert Views
To internationalize an alert view, you must provide localized translations of the alert title, message, and button titles. Screen metrics and layout may change depending on the language and locale.
For more information, see Internationalization and Localization Guide.
Debugging Alert Views
When debugging issues with alert views, watch for this common pitfall:
Not testing localizations. Be sure to test the alert views in your app with the localizations you intend to ship. In particular, button titles can truncate if they are longer in localizations other than the one in which you designed your user interface. Following the HI guideline to give buttons short, logical titles helps to ameliorate this potential problem, but localization testing is also required.
Elements Similar to an Alert View
The following elements provide similar functionality to an alert view:
Action Sheet. Present an action sheet when users tap a button in a toolbar, giving them choices related to the action they've initiated. For more information, see Action Sheets.
Modal View. Present a modal view (that is, the view controller uses a modal presentation style) when users initiate a subtask in the context of their workflow or another task. For more information, see UIViewController Class Reference.

The goal of clinical diagnostic decision-making is to establish a correct diagnosis with maximal certainty. To this end, tests are often used to supplement the clinical examination and to provide greater accuracy and confirmation. However, given current concerns over health care costs, the sufficiency of each test in each patient's clinical situation deserves consideration.
For example: In July 2009, my 65-year-old, healthy sister traveled to a friend's funeral. Following a prolonged period of crying and sobbing, she suddenly experienced memory difficulties and disorientation, repeatedly asking where she was, why she was there, who were the people around her. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. While in the emergency department my niece described the symptoms to me via telephone. I diagnosed a well-defined neurological syndrome, transient global amnesia (TGA), and said that my sister would return to normal mentation within hours. I spoke to the treating emergency physician, who independently made this diagnosis, and we mused about its alarming presentation and benign prognosis; virtually all cases resolve completely with recurrences exceptional. My sister's memory deficits resolved after 6 to 7 hours in the emergency department. Nevertheless she was admitted overnight and underwent a workup with results that were entirely normal.

CLEMSON — Brad Brownell rarely enjoys the luxury of recruiting flawless players to Clemson, a basketball underdog in the tradition-rich ACC.
Most of the players Clemson signs either lack size or a significant skill, like shooting.
The one Tiger who can shoot is freshman guard Jordan Roper, who figures to make his fourth straight start today at Maryland (noon, ESPN2) for a Clemson team in need of shot makers.
Roper scored 19 points against No. 2 Miami on Sunday, the most points scored by a Clemson freshman since Terrence Oglesby scored 19 against Florida State in 2008.
Roper not only bears a resemblance to NBA star Ray Allen, but he also has the makings of a similar jump shot. Roper has smooth shooting mechanics and a quick release. He can also create his shot, often using a pump fake and one dribble to create space against Miami.
But unlike Allen, Roper is undersized — 5-11, 170 pounds — to be playing off the ball as a shooting guard. For Roper to morph from a situational player to true asset, he must become a true point guard.
"It would be more advantageous for us if he could play some more point," Brownell said. "He just hasn't felt 100 percent comfortable in that role yet."
Roper's shooting is so valuable that he's now started three straight games, a span in which he's averaged 31.3 minutes and 14 points per game.
"He's always going to have a scoring mentality, and that's a good thing. That's one of the reasons we recruited him," Brownell said. "I felt he was a guy who would be confident offensively."
Roper was mainly used as a spot-up shooter earlier in the season, similar to former Tiger Andre Young early in his career.
Young didn't become a true point until his senior season.
But Brownell said Roper has more upside than Young because he can better create his own shot, which he has demonstrated in recent games.
"In high school, all I did was dribble penetration, pull-up shots," Roper said, a former star at Irmo. "Here, I've improved my catch-and-shoot. Now, I'm getting back to what I used to do, dribble penetration, pull-up jump shots. Now, if I can incorporate it all, I can be dangerous."
He will become especially dangerous if he can become a true point guard. Roper said he knows he must become stronger and better at stopping the ball on defense, improving his lateral movement. His ball-handling and court vision also need refinement.
The other issue is competition.
Clemson has a number of players who can play the point, including Rod Hall, who is the best defensive option, and fellow freshman Adonis Filer. Still, Brownell said there is a need to keep two point guards on the court.
"There are many times in games where it really helps to have two primary ball-handlers out there," Brownell said. "I think you are seeing more teams play with multiple point guards."

Devils goalie Martin Brodeur couldn't remember being called to the bench in a situation that set up a six-against-three power play advantage. And coach Pete DeBoer didn't recall using that tactic before.
But that is exactly what the Devils did to score the tying goal in their 4-3 comeback victory over the Bruins in Boston Saturday night.
"We didn't want to get to a shootout. I was thinking of pulling the goalie again to make sure it didn't get to a shootout. It crossed my mind, trust me," DeBoer said with a laugh.
The Devils have lost all three of their shootouts this season, so winning it in regulation time was a priority.
The Devils trailed, 3-2. when Bruins defenseman Torey Krug received a double minor for high-sticking Damien Brunner with 3:15 left in the third period.
When Patrice Bergeron was issued a delay of game penalty at 18:11 for shooting the puck over the glass, that made it a 5-on-3 power play. But DeBoer wanted to increase the odds and Brodeur left the ice with 1:24 to go for a six-against-three advantage.
"I don't remember having done that in the past," DeBoer said. "We did talk about it on the bench and we had differing opinions. (Goalie coach) Chris Terreri wanted (Brodeur) out with over two minutes left. Some other guys wanted to wait a little longer.
"I don't think there is a right answer there. If you score, it's the right answer. If you get scored against it's a poor decision. I think I felt that (Tuukka) Rask was not going to let in something that he saw. We needed to get our best net front guy in front of the net. That's what went into the decision and that's why we got (Steve) Bernier out there."
Does he think the sixth skater made a difference?
"I think so," DeBoer said. "On a regular 5-on-3 you're not planting somebody where Bernier stood. Bernier went out there with the sole purpose of standing on the edge of the crease and screening Rask. That helped for sure."
Defenseman Marek Zidlicky tied the game with 1:08 left when he blasted a shot from above the right circle. Brodeur then returned to his net and the Devils won it with 44.1 seconds remaining.
Jaromir Jagr fed Damien Brunner for a shot from the right circle. Brunner flubbed it, but the puck went to Andy Greene, who scored from the bottom of the left circle.
No need for OT or a shootout.
* * *
DeBoer said he is optimistic goalie Cory Schneider will be ready to play by the weekend. He is currently on IR with a lower body injury.
"I would expect him back by the weekend."
With Schneider still ailling, Terreri put on his goalie gear and joined Brodeur in practice today. How did DeBoer think Terreri did?
"In his words he was fantastic. 'I thought I was fantastic.' That's what he said," DeBoer said with a laugh.
Terreri did not shy away from a big Eric Gelinas shot.
"He did look good," DeBoer noted. "Amazing to do that at his age. I mentioned that to Andy Greene and Greenie said, 'He's really not that much older than the guy at the other end.' "
Brodeur is 41. Terreri is 48 and turns 49 on Nov. 15.
* * *
DeBoer on the Devils' attitude after the win in Boston: "I think we're cautiously optimistic. The message is we're doing more and more right every week. I really believe that. I think it's starting to show and result in some wins and points.
"Even some of the games we lose, we didn't deserve to win in Columbus but we probably deserved points in Ottawa. In the last half-dozen games we're starting to play much better. No one is throwing any parades in there."
