Public health departments have made tremendous strides in performance management (PM), quality improvement (QI), and workforce development (WD) in the past few years, thanks in part to support from programs such as the National Public Health Improvement Initiative (NPHII). While Congress has discontinued funding for NPHII and Community Transformation Grants, other Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-supported programs are receiving additional funds. Health departments can use these new funds to continue capacity-building activities that support infrastructure and accreditation, including activities in PM, QI, and WD. One program receiving an influx of funds is the Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) Block Grant.
Latest Information Updated: April 22, 2015
PHF has been in contact with CDC about the next round of funding for the PHHS Block Grant. Pending Congressional approval of FY'15 funds for the PHHS Block Grant, CDC anticipates requesting new work plans from health department grantees. These work plans can contain activities related to health department accreditation, quality improvement, performance management, and workforce development. PHF will continue to monitor developments and keep this page updated as more information becomes available.

What is the opportunity?PHHS can and should support infrastructure investments in PM, QI, and WD
About 40% of PHHS Block Grant resources support local health department and tribal initiatives to address Healthy People 2020 objectives. A doubling of the Block Grant funding for FY'14 has provided a unique opportunity for health departments to start or continue capacity-building activities that support infrastructure and accreditation, including activities in performance management, quality improvement, and workforce development.

>HOME ALONE: Baby Guerrilla
CUTE IDEA: A LITTLE boy deserted by his parents defends his home against bungling burglars. Macaulay Culkin has a lapsed-cherub charm as the boy; burglars Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern bungle playfully. But director Chris Columbus and writer John Hughes never got past the basic concept. Culkin's family is too nasty to him before they leave; the tactics Culkin uses on the crooks are repetitive and sadistic too. It adds up to a superficial-wounds variation on Death Wish. (Fox)

I don't know if this would apply to your case,
but I have equipped a Power520 with GXT145, mouse and keyboard
and installed it as workstation (can't use it that way
due to its noise level). Moved it into the server room,
and it booted without gfx, mouse, keyboard. No HMC.
Since then it works (although too slow for my taste).

MIFFLINBURG - Veteran Lewisburg coach Jim Snyder can't exactly remember where his itinerant wrestling team has won it's sectional championships. Over the years the Green Dragons have performed in the East tournament, the West, and closer to home in the South.
But Snyder knows that Saturday night his team lugged home another sectional crown - the Green Dragons' fourth title in the last 14 years - with an impressive run that began in the pigtail round and wrapped up when Brian Friery and Dante Taylor collected championships Saturday night and seven other Lewisburg wrestlers climbed on the podium and moved to the District 4 tournament at Williamsport next weekend.
The Green Dragons topped the team race from start-to-finish and - with five in the finals - finished with 154 points, well ahead of runner-up Southern Columbia (138) and Line Mountain (130).
Milton's young team finished off the pace in fifth place with 114.5 points but crowned four champions and will take five wrestlers to the district tournament.
"In the one pigtail bout and the quarterfinals we had 11 wins and 10 pins to start the tournament," Snyder said. "That set the tone for the day. We told the team that's what we needed to do to win this tournament. Those two extra points we got in those matches made all the difference."
Friery lived up to his No. 1 ranking at 106 by Off The Mat, staying unbeaten (30-0) with a 3-0 day that ended with a 20-4 (5:52) in an easy final against Collin Klinger of Line Mountain.
Taylor, a senior in just his third year of wrestling, lost to Mifflinburg's Noah Kuba in the 120-pound final last year. He reversed that this time with a solid 6-2 decision over the Mifflinburg senior Saturday night.
"Dante is just an athlete," Snyder said. "You don't get many three-year kids who developed like he has, winning sectional titles. That was a big win for him."
The Green Dragons got runner-up finishes from Max Reed (160), Nick Bernstein (182), and Jon Ward (220), and thirds from Jordan Gessner (113) and Trey Delbaugh, whose win over Line Mountain's Gary Laudenslager in the consy final at 138 clinched Lewisburg's title. Logan Aikey (170) and Skyler Anderson (132) added fourth place finishes.
Milton sent four wrestlers to the finals and each produced titles. Zack Bennett blanked Line Mountain's Kenny Boyer, 6-0, at 145, and Ryan Presich bounced Reed, 14-2, at 160.
Sophomore Gage Heller headlocked Bernstein for a first period fall at 182 and sophomore Brandon Stokes continued his successful late-season return from a broken collarbone with a with a 5-3 win over Danville's Gunnar Feldmann at 195.
"We wanted those guys to wrestle to their (No. 1) seeds and they did," said Milton coach Mike Snyder. "There are a lot of tough kids in this tournament so you have to show up for every match or you get knocked off but those four guys wrestled well all day, they found ways to win.
"Stokes got four or five matches in last weekend (at Salisbury) to knock off the rust. We'll back off a little this week and I think he will be even better next week."
Milton sophomore Logan Bennett advanced with a 16-1 technical fall in the consy final at 120.

Give yourselves a hand, Occupy Philly.
Or better yet, flash the world a peace sign.
Because if there's one big thing that our local movement has taught us, it's that Martin Luther King Jr.'s template of nonviolent protest works.
Not that it's ever been easy.
You can go back to the oppressively resistant days of the civil rights movement to see why.
But you really don't have to look any farther than what happened at UC-Davis over the weekend. Students sitting in protest, their arms locked and heads bowed, were engaged in peaceful civil disobedience when campus police in full riot gear pepper-sprayed them at point-blank range. The assault was so egregious that the campus police chief has been placed on administrative leave.

SAN ANTONIO --After Saturday's 98-89 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, it is obvious that Bonzi Wells and Mike James are both going to need more time learning the playbook.
Wells missed seven-of- eight shots and scored two points against the Spurs. James scored five points and his driving shot in the fourth quarter tied the score at 78.
Wells and James were acquired before Thursday's trade deadline from Houston in exchange for Bobby Jackson, Adam Haluska and Marcus Vinicius.
If shooting guard Morris Peterson continues to struggle, and if Wells can make a successful adjustment, Coach Byron Scott said he would consider changing his starting lineup in the next week or so.
Wells has the potential to be a scoring threat on the wing, but will need to assert himself a little more as a defender. James is a good pickup for the Hornets because of his experience, driving ability and he appears happy about his playing role.
Peterson made all three of his 3-pointers attempted and scored nine points against the Spurs after totaling two points in each of the previous two games against Dallas and Houston.
"Obviously I want to be patient, but if you have a guy like Mike and Bonzi, and they come in here and play extremely well, obviously the temptation to make a change is going to be in my mind in a week or so," Scott said. "Hopefully, Mo will start making some shots and start playing like I know he is capable of playing. Basketball is the same as any other sport: it's what have you done for me lately."
Peterson is struggling to get any lift when he takes perimeter shots. Scott said that has been a problem for Peterson since the start of the season.
In Friday's loss to Houston, Peterson barely jumped before airballing a shot. But during the opening six minutes against the Spurs,
"I asked (trainer) Terry (Kofler) if Morris' knee or ankle is bothering him, but he said it's just fine," Scott said. "I don't know if the back is still bothering him or not."
After Friday's game, Peterson met with Scott and said he was going to work out of the slump.

Americans like to think of themselves as a moral people.
So is it really possible that we will abandon thousands of Iraqis who risked their lives to help American troops and civilians but now face a grave threat of being killed as "collaborators"?
The short answer is yes.
It looks as if we will reward these Iraqis' loyalty with betrayal, including many who worked as interpreters for our troops. As we head toward a final U.S. military exit by the end of 2011, there is no plan to evacuate them.
And here's something equally shameful: Despite a 2008 act of Congress that called for 25,000 special immigrant visas over five years for Iraqis endangered because they helped Americans, fewer than 7,000 of those visas have been issued. The flow of special visas has shrunk to just nine in April, and zero in June due to new security requirements.
There's no doubt about what will happen to many of these Iraqis if we don't help them. "They will be hunted down and killed," said Kirk Johnson, who worked as an aid official in Iraq during the Bush administration. He then founded the List Project to help Iraqis who worked for American organizations.
Both Sunni and Shiite militia groups have announced that they will target "collaborators," who will get little protection from Iraqi security forces.
After American troops left Baghdad, my Iraqi driver was tortured and jailed for having tipped officers at a U.S. base in his neighborhood. The relatives of murderous Shiite militiamen whom he had fingered had friends in the Iraqi security services, and they got him arrested. Unlike many, he managed to get free and escape to Europe.
Johnson believes "at least 1,000 Iraqis who worked for us have already been killed, perhaps many times that." So why are we dawdling on this issue?
Part of the answer is bureaucratic. "No one in the administration has made this a top priority," said Becca Heller, director of the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project in New York City. And partly the reason is security concerns. A recent Kentucky case involving two Iraqi immigrants suspected of insurgent ties has led to new security checks that have virtually frozen the program. This case sent Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, off on an anti-Iraqi immigrant rant that could be catching.
Yet here's the rub. The Kentucky case involves Iraqis who came in under a normal asylum quota, not the special program for Iraqis who worked for Americans. The latter group has already undergone extensive security checks. Yet the number of visas granted them is a small fraction of the visas granted to other Iraqi refugees.
There are plenty of precedents for what the United States should and shouldn't do to help these Iraqis. Needless to say, the Vietnam example, where we made no advance preparations to evacuate about 170,000 South Vietnamese allies, isn't one to emulate.
When the British left Basra in southern Iraq, 17 of their interpreters were immediately killed. After that the Brits organized an airlift of their former Iraqi staff. The Danes (justly famous for helping Danish Jews escape the Holocaust) also airlifted their Iraqi staff out when they left. When Polish troops went home, their Iraqi interpreters were offered asylum.
Are we less loyal to those who help us than the Danes and the Poles?
If we aren't prepared, our closest Iraqi friends may be clinging to our helicopters as we leave, or killed shortly afterward. Saving them will take a clear presidential directive, backed by legislators from both parties.
"Are we still capable of honoring a moral obligation to Iraqis who helped us, or has our moral compass been shattered" by post- 9/1 1 paranoia? Kirk Johnson asked me. The answer will be self-evident if we leave our loyal Iraqi friends to be killed.

April 20th, 2012
This postcard comes from Halifax where I am attending the annual meeting of the Northeastern Association of Graduate Schools (NAGS). I have blogged about NAGS before. It's a cozy club. We just finished Day One of panels and meals, the US and the Canadian deans having exchanged ideas, political stories, and travel tips. Halifax isn't necessarily looking at her best mid-April, and the wind off the harbor water is cold enough to produce hat head, but for the American visitors the city holds an exotic appeal. I get that. There are steel-grey frigates in the harbor and maple leaves on our flags, and although we share the same sea with the deans from New Jersey or Massachusetts, it's definitely different here.
I think the difference tends to get exaggerated when we compare experiences of graduate student funding. We always sound so much more progressive and supportive of graduate education. Our institutions are public and our provincial governments are obliged to fund our post-secondary institutions. A speaker representing MITACS, a federally-funded initiative aimed at enhancing professional skills for graduate students, makes this country look enviably awesome. Quebec students are marching in the streets against tuition fee hikes that wouldn't even cover the cost of a one-semester parking rate at a US school. These meetings always generate the view that it's simply better up here.
But, as someone pointed out today, Canada's productivity growth ranks 15th out of 18 countries at comparable levels of development, and the government is preoccupied, as others before it have been, with being more innovative. This is part of a much longer discussion about why this is so, how we might measure innovation, and what we need to do to generate more of it. The March federal budget is, by some accounts, a deliberate turn to this matter.
We aren't here to be discussing such vexing issues, however. We are here to find points of common interest. And nothing screams common interest more than interdisciplinarity, that which we continue to promote and continue to find difficult to manage. Today's panel on the topic stressed how deans from both sides of the border succeed in supporting interdisciplinary graduate programs in spite of ongoing resistance. The barriers are the same: faculty workload issues, territoriality, suspicion of the benefits of such approaches to knowledge, institutional intransigence, and so on. But ultimately, and after a good discussion, there was a feeling in the room that we shouldn't worry about coming up with one all-purpose model of managing interdisciplinary programs. We should just get on with making such programs happen, come hell or high water.
The afternoon panel also demonstrated how far we have gone toward offering professional enhance development programs for our students. At first I thought the panel wouldn't stimulate much discussion but I was clearly out to lunch. Discussion extended well into the pre-banquet stretch of late afternoon. For the most part, no one thought in terms of American or Canadian practices. We were all talking about the importance, even moral obligation, to equip all our students with the right tools for a working life well beyond the academy. This is as true for students in Halifax or St. John's as it is for those in Hartford or New York.
Tomorrow we will compare notes about integrating postdocs into our cultures, as well as other topics, and I would put money on it that my panel on social media will reveal that both American and Canadian deans have never considered opening a twitter account, by and large. We will also hand out teaching, mentoring, and dissertation awards to deserving recipients from both sides of the 49th.
I like hanging out at NAGS. It's both satisfying to have one's national pride stoked a little, and reassuring to be reminded that we're all in the same boat.
Next year we gather in New Brunswick—New Jersey, that is.

Tourists flock Serengeti to witness the return of Nature's "Greatest Show on Earth"
17TH September, 2012
Hundreds of thousands of tourists are now flocking Serengeti National Park to witness the return of the Wildebeest described as the Nature's Greatest Show on Earth from the neighboring country where they went for their holidays.
This year, Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) conducted a special event of welcoming home the legendary Wildebeest Migration, consisting of about two million ungulates, among them 1.5 million wildebeests believed to have spent less than a month in the neighboring country. Soon they will all be back home in the Serengeti where they will spend most of their life in a year before crossing again to Masai Mara for their short holidays.
Early rains in the Serengeti have encouraged the wildebeest to cut short their holidays in Masai Mara as there is plenty of grass to feed on back home.
At Mara River, the wildebeest migration which also includes zebras and gazelles could be seen escaping giant crocodiles as they crossed the wide and deep, River Mara on their way back to Serengeti from the neighboring country's Masai Mara.
Nature's Greatest Show on Earth normally covers more than 1000 kilometers and takes place annually on a 12 month circle, in which the ungulates spend 10 months in Tanzania (Serengeti - Ngorongoro ecosystem) and two months in Kenya's Maasai Mara.

Retired Alabama physician Robert Cosby has always been more in touch with his heart than his wallet. So when his stock in USAirways took off last year, he attributed his good fortune to more than the bull market. "It was a message from God," he says.
A devout evangelical Presbyterian, Cosby, 52, took the cue and gave away 50,000 shares worth nearly $3.4 million. The recipient: a Christian group of his own founding whose singular objective was to mail a video about Jesus to every one of Alabama's 1.7 million households.
Cosby first saw the movie, Jesus, a 1979 feature based on the Gospel According to Luke, three years ago at a seminar run by the Campus Crusade for Christ. "I thought I had the best evangelistic tool the world had ever seen," says Cosby, who was so inspired he quit his 23-year practice as a general practitioner to devote his energies to disseminating the film. He and a small band of volunteers began with a door-to-door giveaway in Birmingham's inner-city housing projects. Then he upped the ante, using proceeds of the stock sale to buy 1.75 million videos from the Campus Crusade—at more than $2 apiece, plus shipping. It took some 21 tractor-trailers to haul the cassettes from a California manufacturing plant to the Birmingham warehouse from which they were delivered to local post offices and, in turn, to all Alabamans.
Despite opposition from one Birmingham student who offered to erase the cassettes and donate them to schools, Cosby—who lives in a basement apartment in a suburban Birmingham red brick house he shares with his mother, 81, and brother, 40—says after a long career ministering to the body, he had simply decided it was time to start thinking about saving souls. "The physical will eventually die," he says. "But we can salvage the spirit."

Center City Bethlehem is home to the nation's oldest continuously operating bookstore: the Moravian Book Shop.
Moravian also is now the business district's only bookstore as the New Street Book Shop and the New Street Folk Shoppe — a curio shop that also sold used books — closed this year.
The adjacent New Street shops are part of a larger piece of property that also includes a large home on the corner of New and West Market streets. The owner has a contract on the property but told city officials it was tough to sell with the adjacent businesses, said Alicia Karner, Bethlehem's community and economic development director.
The bookstore owners and the owner of the antiques room inside of it were both looking to retire, officials said, but New Street Folk Shoppe owner Steve Grace said the ending of his lease after 22 years caught him by surprise.
The little shop, where Grace sold his hand-painted wooden toys and other folk art pieces along with used books, was never about the money for Grace, he said. He didn't keep regular hours, which was part of the shop's quirkiness. He would stay open until midnight during Musikfest but close regularly during traditional business hours.
"If I had closed for the day and was driving back by and there were people looking in the window, I would park, walk up to the crowd muttering something about, 'This guy is never here!' and then produce a key and open back up," he said in an email interview. "I made more lifelong friends that way."
The friends Grace made over the years made it all worth it and he's heard from many of them since he closed his shop at the end of January.
"Judging by the sad calls and emails from well-wishers, I succeeded in at least touching a few people with decent prices, good quality and an infectious sense of humor," he said. "They were more than my customers. They were my family."
Grace, of Alburtis, is now selling his folk art at Artsy Diva on Bethlehem's Main Street and his art and books at South Mall in Allentown. He also takes special orders at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The owners of the New Street Book Shop and its antiques room didn't return calls for comment. Grace said it's sad to think that three shops on the gateway to Bethlehem City Hall are now vacant.
Karner said she believes the new owner would look to rent the storefronts again if his plans for offices within the home are approved.
Hanover Township, Northampton County, lawyer John Bartos is seeking a zoning variance from the city to use the home for offices. The zoning hearing board turned down his appeal last year because members felt the home wasn't on the market long enough to justify a variance, Karner said.
Bartos has appealed that decision and has refiled his case to the zoning hearing board, which is scheduled to hear it April 23. Bartos did not return a call for comment on his appeal and property owner Mary Schadt declined comment.

text: Fighting Obesity in Louisiana! by Krystle N. on Monday, April 7, 2014 On Tuesday, March 25, the Senate Health and Welfare Committee voted 4-3 in favor of a bill requiring chain restaurants with 15 or more locations to list calories and other nutrition information on menus and menu boards. This essential legislation is authored by State Senator David Heitmeier of Algiers. Last year, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation named Louisiana the most obese state in the nation. Research shows the link between frequent eating out and obesity. As a result, it is important for consumers to have nutritional information available in order to make healthy food choices at restaurants, just as they do in grocery stores.

By JOHN ANNESE
and MICHAEL SEDON
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- An 83-year-old man who died in his Charleston home last year is now being called a homicide victim after he took a fatal dose of a chemical found in antifreeze, the city medical examiner's office has ruled.
At first glance, Steven Mario Carnesi seemed to have died of natural causes on May 24. He had become ill, and was placed under hospice care at his 4223 Arthur Kill Road home with his wife and a nurse looking after him, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
And there may well have been no investigation into what killed him if not for suspicious family members at his wake, those sources said. Carnesi was being laid out at Colonial Funeral Home in New Dorp, and a family member "didn't like the way he looked," noted one NYPD source.
MAP: Homicides on Staten Island in 2012
So they called for an autopsy, and a medical examiner took tissue samples for a toxicology test, those sources said.
On Dec. 10, the medical examiner officially ruled his death a homicide by "propylene glycol intoxication."
A spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office would not comment on this case specifically, though she said that cause of death investigations often include going to crime scenes and interviewing family members and others.
Even so, some questions remain as to what dose of the substance would prove fatal. Industrial grade propylene glycol is found in de-icing fluid and antifreeze, but other grades of the substance can be found in food, cosmetics and medications.
Propylene glycol is often sold as a "non-toxic" alternative to ethylene glycol antifreeze, which is sweet tasting and poisonous - it causes kidney failure over time and has been used in a number of high-profile murders.
Propylene glycol is also a common ingredient in liquid detergents, paints and inks, but it could cause metabolic abnormalities and even death if ingested in "very high amounts," according to Sam Miller, assistant commissioner for public affairs with the city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Toxicity has occurred with high doses of intravenous medications that use it as a solvent, Miller said in an e-mail to the Advance.
On May 21, three days before his death, Carnesi's wife, Pamela Carnesi, 54, posted the following to her public Facebook.com profile: "My husband of over 30 years is dying. I have hospice 16 hours day. So many people comin & goin, but I dont feel like its real, as if I'm not really here I feel so alone. God, I miss my mother!!"
And on Sept. 14, she posted: "I am now the proud owner of The Foxhole Mobile Home Park. Thank you, my wonderful husband, for everything. Love, your wife." She posted a picture of the business on Sept. 25.
Public records show Carnesi bought the property at 4223 Arthur Kill Rd. in 1996 for $60,000. His wife sold it to Clarendon Realty Holdings on Aug. 4 for $840,000.
The house sits near the edge of a 20,500 square foot parcel of property, adjacent to the Charleston Cemetery and a two-building commercial complex with offices, an auto-detailing shop and a recently opened knife-grinding business.
Attempts to reach Carnesi's wife in Florida were unsuccessful.
A man who answered her phone and identified himself as Tommy Donohue claimed to be the family's spokesperson -- he said Carnesi was under "around-the-clock hospice care," and noted that the entire family agreed to the autopsy at the request of his children, Steven and Kim Carnesi.
Carnesi's daughter declined to comment, and attempts to reach other family members were unsuccessful.

BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, the state's largest private insurer, started accepting online applications for health insurance in 2000.
For more information
Information about Medicaid eligibility in South Carolina and the new Medicaid online application can be accessed online, apply.scdhhs.gov, or by phone, 1-888-549-0820.
The federal health insurance marketplace is available online, www.healthcare.gov, or by phone, 1-800-318-2596.
For more past coverage of Medicaid and the federal Affordable Care Act, visit www.postandcourier.com/obamacare.
Thirteen years later, the South Carolina Medicaid agency caught up.
"This is the first time that we've ever taken online applications," said S.C. Medicaid Director Tony Keck. "It's part of our Medicaid eligibility system overhaul. This is phase one."
It's also part of the federal Affordable Care Act, which mandates that every state upgrade their Medicaid programs.
More than 770 South Carolinians submitted an online application for Medicaid last week. Tuesday was the first day the state agency allowed beneficiaries to apply online. The agency averaged hundreds more submissions per day last week than normal, Keck said.
Before Tuesday, residents who needed to apply for Medicaid in South Carolina had to sign up over the phone or fill out an application in person.
At least 36 other states already accept online applications for Medicaid, according to a January 2013 report by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The S.C. Medicaid online application launch coincided with the start of open health insurance enrollment through the new federal health insurance marketplace, which was established by the Affordable Care Act.
It's not yet clear how many of the hundreds of online Medicaid applications filed last week will be approved, a spokeswoman for the agency said.
Medicaid, a program funded by a combination of state and federal money, provides health insurance to qualifying residents with low income. The South Carolina Medicaid program already covers roughly 20 percent of all residents here. More than half of Medicaid beneficiaries in the state are children.
Eligibility rules for Medicaid vary state by state. In South Carolina, healthy adults without children do not qualify for the program, regardless of their poverty level.
The Affordable Care Act was originally designed to expand Medicaid eligibility to any resident in the country who earns up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, a little less than $16,000 a year for single adults.
But the U.S. Supreme Court decided in 2012 that states could decline to participate in Medicaid expansion, because each state would eventually need to pay for part of the expansion costs, although never more than 10 percent of the total bill. South Carolina leaders decided to opt out.
Keck said the Medicaid agency predicts enrollment will grow by about 170,000 next year anyway, even without changing the eligibility rules.

Best Time to Fly to Bali
Enlarge terminal map
Formerly Denpasar International Airport, Ngurah Rai Airport (DPS) is between Kuta and Jimbaran, 9 miles (13km) south of Denpasar, the capital and largest city in exotic Bali, Indonesia. It was renamed after Indonesian national hero I Gusta Ngurah Rai, who was killed in the Indonesian Revolution against Dutch rule in 1946.
Bali is a popular vacation spot and it is possible to get a flight there via most major airports. Flights to Ngurah Rai Airport arrive from hubs across the Pacific region and Australia such as Hong Kong, Bangkok, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Singapore, Jakarta, Taipei, Tokyo, Phuket and Seoul, as well as airports further afield like Amsterdam and Moscow.
Although the terminals have a combined capacity of 8 million passengers per year, the airport saw more than 11 million passengers in 2010. It is the third-busiest airport in Indonesia and is often over-crowded and chaotic. Extensive expansion is scheduled to be completed by 2013, so be prepared to deal with some delays and inconvenience over the next couple of years. If arriving at peak times, especially in tourist season, be sure to bring a healthy dose of patience.
Back to top
Back to top
Train: There are no trains in Bali.
Bus: There's a public bus that goes from the airport to Tegal Station in Denpasar, just under an hour away, for IDR 10,000 (approximately £0.70). You could also try negotiating a fare with the ubiquitous green Bemos (mini-bus taxis). You'll need to leave the airport grounds to catch one from outside the gates to the airport - turn right as you exit the terminal. You can also charter an entire Bemo (one with a yellow license plate) from the airport, which is useful if traveling in a group.
Money and communications: Post office, ATMs and currency exchange.
Luggage: There are several porters on hand to carry your luggage for a fee, which you'll need to negotiate.
Conference and business: There are two VIP lounges. The Prada Lounge costs IDR 100,000 (about £7) if you aren't flying Business Class (if you are, it's free).
Other facilities: Public telephones, prayer rooms and mosques, pharmacy.
Wi-Fi: There is Wi-Fi access in the Executive Lounge in the International Terminal.
Shopping: Bali is a great place for shoppers and the airport is no exception, with lots of places to get a souvenir or gift for the folks back home – although for true bargains, you'd do better to try your luck in town.
Food and drink: There are several eateries in the airport, especially in the newer, bigger International Terminal. Some places are more overpriced than others, however, so it's wise to compare prices before you sit down.

Someone made a thread here a while ago that seemed pretty interesting to me claiming creatine was the best to take for fat burn, in that it increases your muscle and recovery time giving you more energy to burn fat.

eat plenty of sloppy joes and pop-tarts before working out.
The best fat burner = H2O, water. It's the major part of the fat burning process. Without it your spinning your wheels...........Rockin'

Feel your stomach during workouts, if it has a cold feeling to it, you're burning fat.
As far as supplements go, there are a million different ones, but they all tend to do the same thing, raise your blood pressure/heart rate. However simply eating clean is what will really give you results

Doing your workout, or just cardio before breakfast will make you burn a lot of fat. Just take some whey before working out. When finished wait for 20 to 30 minutes before taking some carbs cause the fat burning process is still going on.
Used by alot of bodybuilders to get shredded. There are supplement to get low bf like clenbuterol or t3 but they are considered as steroids and not with out danger.

Rotary District 7470 of Madison is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Ross Redmond Short-Term Youth Exchange program, where the District conducts a three-week cultural exchange with Rotary District 2670 of Shikoku, Japan. In early July, 27 students from this area were each hosted by four Rotarian families in Shikoku, where they toured the picturesque island as well as Hiroshima and the Osaka area. The outbound team leaders this year were Jim Koons and his wife, Dr. Janice Smiell.
On Aug 1, 24 Japanese students arrived with their three team leaders and began their three-week stay with three host families, each in a different section of our Rotary District.
After an overnight stay at the Embassy Suites in Parsippany, their first American experience was at Rocco's Tuscany Grill, where proprietor Rocco Iossa taught each of them how to make their own pizza, which was then baked and served for lunch. This was followed by a visit to Borough Hall to meet Mayor Bob Conley and Council Member Jeannie Tsukamoto. They concluded their Madison visit with a game of bocce at the YMCA.
Since District 7470 encompasses a large area, the program began in the western section of the district. Highlights of the places they visited were Dorney Park, Philadelphia's Independence Hall, Martin Guitar and the Sussex State Fair.
The central area of the district brought them to various places in New York City including the United Nations, the Intrepid, Yankee Stadium, Google HQS and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They also toured the Newark Cathedral for an organ demonstration and concert, followed by a tour of the Prudential Center.
The last leg of the trip in the eastern area included a visit to Point Pleasant Beach, the Thomas Edison Museum, Liberty Science Center, Statue of Liberty and 911 memorial.
The director of this exchange program is former Madison Borough Administrator and former District Governor Jim Allison.
For information on next year's program, visit RotaryDistrict7470.org in December of this year.

Sorry about the thread title. Obtuse.
Been Primal again since January. Been eating too much dairy. Love eggs and will keep eating them. Since I don't eat meat fish or fowl at this point I need replace the dairy if I go through with my plan to drop dairy for 3-4 weeks. Can/would anyone/someone direct me to areas on this incredible website where I can find out what others have done? I work out 3-4 times doing weight training and minimal cardio. Plus my job is active so I need the calories. I need to replace the dairy with other primal foods so to get all my macronutrients and micronutrients but have not made the choice to go back to meat fish and fowl at this point. Can I eat sweet potatoes for calories? Are they primal or is that a gray area like dairy. Especially if drenched in Butter? All thoughts and pointers and directions will be welcomed. Thank you.

Sorry about the thread title. Obtuse.
If you are not eating meat/liver/bone broths yet. I wouldn't recommend giving up on dairy. It is the only source of many important things like Vitamin B12, zinc, vitamin K2. Eggs are not as good in for these.
Ghee and butter are very good for upping the calories, and have little that can be considered bad (particularly ghee).
About Potatoes. They are paleo, but may not be considered good by many people here. Saying that Potatoes are a new world food doesn't make any sense. If you try to get vegetables that were eaten 100,000years ago, you will not find any in this age. We are eating the classes of vegetables that our ancestors ate. That includes tubers, and potatoes are tubers.
Sweet potatoes are better than potatoes, simply because they are less likely to be intesively farmed.
Why do you want to give up the dairy? As Anand says, it provides many vitamins and minerals that you will need. Have you looked into raw dairy? It contains the enzymes you need to digest it, plus the protein and fats are left whole, rather than denatured. Pasturized and homoginized dairy has denatured proteins and fats which, if I understand correctly, become free radicals in the body and can cause other problems. But given your lack of animal foods in your diet, any kind of dairy would be better than none. Based on the information I have.
I am in the same position, ive done the research and found dairy is deffinately not worth it.
Raw dairy is hard to find, I would eat goats dairy (much better) but its expensive. The answer:
Coconuts! can offer milk, cream alternatives. the oil is better than butter, and creamed coconut I actually use as a great cheese replacement.
I also don't eat alot of meats but do eat eggs. I eat fish/prawns to make up any remaining fat/protein calories.
Sweet potatoes are not a panacea they are just slighty not as bad as potatoes I discovered the hard way
I guess you have metabolic syndrome ;-). Otherwise you should not have any problems with potatoes. Don't worry almost everybody has it these days in some stage or the other.
You are seeing problems with dairy and potatoes. But that may not be the case with other people less damaged.
Also this guy is not eating any meat. You are eating some and also fish/prawns. You are not in the same position.
You have not done enough research on the bad effects of vitamin/mineral deficiencies that affect vegetarians, who don't do it correctly.
Where does this guy get the fat soluble vitamins. Coconut does not have any, except vitamin E.
What about sources of K2, or B12?
Just saying that dairy is bad does not help. You have to give some alternatives.
How about starting eating fish? You can do it.
Height: 5'4" (1.62 m)
Starting weight (09/2009): 200 lb (90.6 kg)
No longer overweight (08/2010): 145 lb (65.6 kg)
Current weight (01/2012): 127 lb (57.5 kg)
No I'm not in exactly the same position. I was vegetarian and moved to this position where i do eat fish and occasional meat, but I can therefore atleast relate more than some?!
I don't know why you assume I havn't done enough research on vegetarian issues Im offended. There are always two sides to both stories, but vegetarians can live a perfectly vitamin and mineral rich life. There is nothing that dairy gives you that you can;t get from other sources, and I was not about to do giving this guy a 3 hour hour lecture on the subject although i could suggest K2 and B12 solutions quite easily. Besides you're going through the phase where people get obsessed over exact vitamin and mineral intakes which is certainly not primal or natural. We are all aware with a varied and healthy diet with plenty of frut and veg vitamins aren't going to a life changing issue. i'm sure you will disagree. Coconut milk and cream was a suggestion to take the place to dairy products in terms of meal alternatives (i.e. recipe ingredients etc.) not nutritional values.
Just criticising someone's two cents does not help. Give your own.
Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef Beef!
Sorry. Useless post. It's just so maddening trying to think of ways to make paleo without meats healthy. Umm
Some high omega 3 pastured eggs. Some fish oil (oil cannot feel pain!). Hemp protein, chia seeds, shredded coconut/coconut oil/coconut milk, palm oil, vegetables, some fruit, squash, yams. Take supplements to make up for nutritional deficiencies.
Arg here's the problem. Vegetarian paleo is either high in carbs, high in omega 6, or low in nutrients.
Beef. I just cooked a cow tongue. 100% grass-fed and slaughtered by real Muslims in a painless fashion. I will share some with you through the computer
*shares through computer*
Really cow tongue? I totally believe you and don't doubt it for a minute. Yeah I agree. Guys, to each their own, I was raised veg and as an athlete it 'effed me up. Eventually developed fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, gained weight from eating many more carbs, and was being warned of Lupus with high ana numbers showing up in my blood tests as well as eleveated c-reactive proteins. My total cholesterol was 101. . .yikes!
I ate beef regularly and within two months all symptoms started to disapear. Numbers are great. Inflammation minimal, my own journey of playing around with diet has taught me a lot. Not to say any of that would happen to you, different genes but my improvements and quality of life were phenomonal. I would most definitely consider the need for micronutrients derived from various meat sources. If it's ethical, go find a farm you trust and meet the animals, I did. But for me it was just being raised around macrobiotics I thought it was the right path to be on. My humble opinion is there are many right paths to follow and fewer wrongs and for this topic there is a bright big sign at the end of the road flashing: *BEEF* (that's the ideal path) Is it natural to have to supplement to get many of the most important nutritional needs? That was a selling point for me. Used to do protein powders and ate way too much soy. yuk! You shouldn't need to do that.

Another commonly used marketing method is direct mail. But beware. You can easily end up wasting limited marketing dollars on direct mail. Companies do it every day -- just check your in-box. If done properly, however, direct mail can be one of the most efficient, cost-effective forms of marketing available.
When putting together a direct mail piece, be sure that:
Also make sure your mailing list is accurate. For a direct mail piece to be successful, it must look professional, be easy to respond to and your mailing list must be accurate and up-to-date.
Whatever the nature of your direct mail piece, be it an invitation to a seminar or a letter asking a professional to use your services, make sure it includes a clear call to action.

INDIANAPOLIS -- New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick said that tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is battling a high left ankle sprain, responded well after participating in his first practice yesterday since suffering the injury.
"I think he was OK this morning. I think he was OK," Belichick said. "I don't think we had any setbacks."
Gronkowski will practice again today and the hope is that he continues to progress.
"Hopefully we'll be able to continue that same process today, tomorrow, and all day Sunday," Belichick said. "We'll see where that takes us, but I think he's coming along. We'll just have to see where he gets to, but we're certainly moving in the right direction and getting better on a daily basis."
There is no more media access until after Sunday's game, so the only updates on Gronkowski's health will come from the practice reports.

MARANA, Ariz. — Rory McIlroy was walking down the stairs toward the driving range when he passed Lee Westwood and gave him the same message he had delivered earlier Saturday in the Match Play Championship.
"See you in the morning," McIlroy said with a big smile. "Just like I told you."
In 14 years of this fickle tournament, there has never been a semifinal match so compelling.
McIlroy had another surge on the back nine to put away Bae Sang-moon, 3 and 2. Moments later, Westwood finished off Martin Laird by the same margin, setting up a Sunday showdown with more at stake than just a spot in the championship match.
If either McIlroy or Westwood goes on to win the Match Play Championship, they would go to No. 1 in the world.
"I think with both of us being up there in the world, and both of us with the possibility of going to No. 1, it gives the match definitely an extra little bit of spice," McIlroy said.
The duel was not lacking spice in the first place.
They were stablemates at International Sports Management until some testy exchanges last year.
Shortly after McIlroy shot 80 in the final round of the Masters to blow a four-shot lead, Westwood got under his skin by saying the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland "has a pull hook in his bag under pressure." But it was McIlroy who was the first to win a major, setting records at Congressional on his way to an eight-shot win in the U.S. Open.
Later in the year, when McIlroy left Chubby Chandler at ISM, Westwood tweeted that it was a bizarre move. McIlroy quickly un-followed Westwood and Chandler on Twitter.
Both players say their relationship is no different than with other golfers. They don't spend as much time together, understandable because they no longer have the same manager.
"There's nothing strained about the relationship between the two of us. It's still the same as it was," Westwood said. "Rory said to me before I went out, 'See you tomorrow morning.' And then today again there, he said, 'See, told you.' That's the trouble with kids nowadays. They think they're always right, don't they?"
A dull day in the desert ended with high anticipation for the final day.
The championship match is at high noon. The McIlroy-Westwood duel gets under way as the sun begins to climb over the high desert.
"I think it's the match that most people wanted, and definitely the match that I wanted," McIlroy said.
The other semifinal match Sunday features Hunter Mahan and Mark Wilson, assuring an American will make it to the final for the first time since Tiger Woods won in 2008.
Mahan played the shortest quarterfinal match in the 14-year history of the event by beating Matt Kuchar, 6 and 5. Wilson, gaining more respect the deeper he goes in the bracket, had an easy time in his 4-and-3 win over Peter Hanson of Sweden.
The 18-hole championship match will start about an hour after the semifinals.
With a strong breeze, firmer conditions, tough hole locations and only four quarterfinal matches, Saturday at Dove Mountain was lacking excitement. For the first time ever, none of the quarterfinals matches reached the 17th hole.
McIlroy and Westwood saved the day.
For starters, it's the first time the Match Play Championship semifinals have featured two of the top four seeds since 2004, when Woods and Davis Love III advanced. McIlroy is No. 2, and Westwood is No. 3.
Plus, there's that small matter of No. 1 in the world.
Westwood already has been No. 1 in the world, and said his priority is picking up his first WGC title.
"My priorities were to win major championships and win World Golf Championships because I haven't ever won any," Westwood said.

The real question, of course, is how does one test such a string. As
we learned in the Y2K effort, shoving a system clock far forward and
then reversing it can introduce unintended side effects. Sounds like a
job for VMware!
As for the string itself, it looks plausible. It doesn't include the
time of day when the change is to be made but I believe that defaults

Babeu: Make Pinal lieutenants, captains at-will employees
Babeu's controversial plan has already prompted the early retirement of a captain who says he was targeted for a pay cut and dismissal if the plan were approved and whose exit was punctuated by a scathing e-mail accusing the sheriff of a power grab designed to make room for political appointees and loyalists.
If passed, the captain, plus eight lieutenants in patrol and investigations, seven lieutenants in the jail, and one director would lose the right to appeal any disciplinary actions before the county's merit board. At-will employees can be terminated at any time without cause.
One police management expert said it would be a mistake to reclassify lieutenants as at-will employees. To do so would inhibit a supervisor's ability to make decisions and contribute to a group-think mentality, said James Drylie, a retired police captain and executive director for the School of Criminal Justice and Public Administration at Kean University in New Jersey.
Lieutenants need the "security of knowing that if I do make a decision, even if it's the wrong decision, this is my job," Drylie said. "An at-will employee, that person may not have that sense of confidence, that sense of responsibility."
Board Chairman Steve Miller said he hopes Babeu will explain his motivation to county supervisors during today's meeting in Florence, where members are scheduled to vote on the measure.
"To me, it seems like it would drive down morale," Miller said, adding that he needs more information to make a decision.
Babeu said his proposal would inspire better policing.
"Any senior-level leaders and managers within the Sheriff's Office exercise my command authority," Babeu wrote in a Dec. 28 memo to county supervisors. "These leaders are not first-line supervisors, yet are responsible for large and important responsibilities within the Sheriff's Office."
The reclassification "will allow the Sheriff's Office to manage to an even higher level of performance," he added.
A similar measure was briefly considered in Maricopa County following a Sheriff's Office scandal in 2010. The scandal led to the swift dismissal of two at-will employees, former Chief Deputy David Hendershott and Deputy Chief Larry Black, while an exempt employee, Capt. Joel Fox, appealed his termination for months. Maricopa County officials decided to leave the existing system in place.
Pinal County policy allows Babeu to classify 10 percent of his workforce as at-will employees. Under the plan, Babeu said, he would have a total of 37 at-will positions, or about 6 percent of Sheriff's Office employees.
The lieutenants in patrol and investigations would get a salary increase, which the sheriff proposes to draw from a jail-improvement fund to spare any impact on the general fund.
The captain, however, was slated to lose more than $14,000 in annual salary. The other reclassified employees would stay at their same wage.
PCSO's patrol bureau commander, Jeffrey Karns, a nearly 20-year veteran, identified himself as the captain who had taken early retirement in a lengthy e-mail he sent to Babeu and copied to all Sheriff's Office employees Tuesday.
In the e-mail, Karns underscored his "stellar career" at PCSO — he competitively tested and was promoted through every classified rank in the agency — and accused Babeu of "bulling ahead with punitive measures designed either to force my retirement or to put me in a terminable position."
Karns, who retired Tuesday, said it was common knowledge that he was planning to leave in April, and he alleged that Babeu's executive staff warned he would be terminated once he became an at-will employee.
Karns criticized Babeu's plan as adding to the "existing terrible morale" and creating an "atmosphere of constant nagging fear, constant tension and constant stress" for unclassified employees.
In response to a request for comment, Chief Deputy Steve Henry said: "It is troubling Captain Karns reacted in such a manner to this organizational change to improve operations in the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. Captain Karns has always been very supportive of the many organizational changes and leadership decisions Sheriff Babeu has made during the past four years."
Attached to Henry's statement was a Jan. 2 e-mail from Karns to Babeu that applauded the sheriff's willingness to entertain "radical ideas" in relation to gun rights. Babeu has made multiple appearances on cable news shows in recent weeks, promoting an idea for arming at least one educator in every school. Also attached was a letter Karns wrote as part of PCSO's bid to nominate Babeu for the 2011 Ferris E. Lucas Award for Sheriff of the Year, which he received from the National Sheriffs' Association.
Babeu's proposal to reclassify the status of "command-level leaders" is among the first to be decided by the newly expanded Board of Supervisors.
State law required Pinal County to grow from three supervisor districts to five when its population surpassed 200,000 people. The 2010 census showed Pinal County with more than 375,000 residents, up from 179,727 in 2000.
The board, which had been Democrat-controlled since the county's charter, now has a 4-1 Republican majority.
Babeu had lobbied hard for his own slate of Republican supervisor candidates, only one of whom — new Supervisor Cheryl Chase — was elected in November. Chase had chaired Babeu's sheriff campaign in 2008 and was appointed as PCSO's community-relations director when he took office in January 2009.

Brighten Mother's Day with an elegant, late-morning meal
In 1914, 99 years ago, President Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. It was to be a national day of honor for mothers across the country.
Today it is that and much more.
Although initially meant to be a day of sentiment and love, the holiday has become a bigger celebration than anyone ever imagined. It has become a commercial extravaganza, festooned with flowers, candy and mallwide shopping sales.
Most mothers I know prefer a simpler approach to the day -- from sleeping in with breakfast in bed to opening stacks of crayon-drawn pictures and cards. If you're lucky, you'll also get a fresh blossom picked from the garden -- mostly likely with a very short stem.
For those in the family who want to honor Mom with a homemade brunch, this story includes a variety of options. One uses a made-for-kids waffle stick appliance which is simple to use and produces impressive results.
Frittatas made in a large muffin tin can be just as enticing as a fruit compote presented in a fancy, stemmed dish. Something familiar served in a different shape or container can make any breakfast extra special.
Of course, you also have the option of a delicious Mother's Day brunch offered at any one of the myriad local restaurants. Just remember to change out of your pajamas first. These affairs tend to be a bit dressier.
For me, growing up in a North East neighborhood with three close-knit families and 14 kids in the mix, a restaurant brunch was seldom part of our celebration. Instead, the moms, Teresa, Pearl and Alice, were excused from doing laundry, changing diapers, cooking a meal or washing the dishes -- at least until we all grew up and moved away. Then it became just another day for them, with a potted plant or phone call thrown in, hopefully.
Today, if they were still with us, the day would most likely include a Skype session, text message or computer e-mail from a new generation of grandchildren. The form wouldn't matter as much as the thought. They were still remembered, lovingly, on Mother's Day.

(Re: Guest column, April 28, "Founders excluded religion," by Dominick Miller.)
Although I am sure Miller is a bright young man and will no doubt have a successful college career, I agree with a previous essay that he has been fed by a politically correct education system regarding his opinions on Darwinism. If he would delve deeper into the comparisons of that and Intelligent Design (ID), he would see how ridiculous it is to just accept Darwinism, with all its gaps and unanswered questions.
I hope he took the opportunity to treat himself to Ben Stein's documentary "Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed" that was recently shown at local theaters. I was fortunate enough to attend an ID conference at SMU last spring and heard several of the speakers interviewed in the film.
Just because ID may have religious implications does not mean it should be rejected as religion.

Not too impressedI did not notice much of a difference regarding my foundation when I used this product. It feels nice on my skin, but don't believe that it enhances my foundation more than a regular mousturizer. It is quite pricey also, so I won't be purchasing it again. — 8 years, 4 months agominnow | 5 reviews
Great primerI have extremely oily skin and found this product to be effective. I have tried so many foundations to control the oil but now I just use this primer and have great looking skin throughout the day! — 8 years, 4 months agolovelygal | 9 reviews
I like this productThis give me a nice smooth base on which to apply my foundation and eye shadow. But I only use this on special occasions as it is pricey. — 8 years, 5 months agobostonwaves | 37 reviews
Good PrimerI got this as a sample and used it and thought it was really cool. It glides on so smooth and controls the shine. — 8 years agoolympicgirl | 21 reviews
great for oily/normal skins .if you're concerned with this primer being too heavy, no need to fear -- read the part of the name that says "LIGHT" . this new formula is lightweight & still has just as much of an UMPH! to make your face shine (: — 8 years, 6 months agokianababy | 49 reviews
Much better than th original for oily skin...I used the original Smashboxo Photo Finish primer and didn't like it at all. My oily skin got even worse, and I felt like my makeup just slid right off. When this was released, I was a little skeptical, so I went to Sephora and got a sample. I love it! This is much different from the original in that it doesn't make my skin greasy at all! My makeup stays on when I wear this and it makes my skin smoother overall. Will continue to repurchase! — 8 years, 6 months agocazzicd | 5 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
No greasy & oilyThis new product works very well on my oily skin. Compare to the regular one, this one isn't not greasy or oily at all. And it's really light on my skin. I don't like heavy product. — 8 years, 6 months agolol09 | 3 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
A feeling of profound sadness struck us this past week at the news that one of Randall County's rising political stars had died suddenly.
Court at Law Judge John Jay Thorpe was coming down from the summit of 14,038-foot Mount Eolus in southwestern Colorado. His foot reportedly slipped on a rock during the descent and he plunged to his death onto a snow- and rock-covered slope.
Judge Thorpe very likely hadn't reached the summit of his professional life, but his death this past week reminds us all of just how fragile our life on this Earth can be.
John Jay Thorpe telephoned us late the previous week just to offer a cheery greeting and to deliver a good word for Randall County commissioners, at whom he tossed a couple of bouquets for the way they were finishing up work on the county's fiscal year 2000 budget.
His plans for the coming week? He was heading off with a college buddy to climb another "Fourteener," mountaineering lingo for those peaks that exceed 14,000 feet in elevation. Judge Thorpe didn't profess to be an expert climber, the kind of guy who hangs from pitons off rock faces. This particular climb, Judge Thorpe said, would consist mostly of hiking and a little "scrambling" with hands and feet up more steeply graded slopes.
But of course he understood the hazards associated with this kind of recreation. And this past Monday, one of those hazards - a rock not capable of holding his weight - snatched him away in a terrible, tragic instant.
Judge Thorpe approached his new job on the bench with refreshing earnestness and devotion. He had pledged to reduce the court at law case backlog and - with County Judge Ted Wood helping clear the juvenile docket - was proud of the huge dent he had made in the backlog in less than a year on the job.
The death of someone so young - Judge Thorpe was 39 - always is cause for sadness. The death of a public figure who held such promise only deepens our grief.

As a self proclaimed avid gamer I make it a personal mission to get my hands on all the latest additions to the video game industry. With new titles costing an upwards of $65, continuing to build a game library is expensive. I typically choose to purchase games but a flashy trailer and a slew of promotional commercials don't guarantee a quality game anymore. Wasting $65 on garbage is not my idea of a happy situation. To say gaming has become an arduous hobby for a college student such as myself is an understatement. Luckily, there are services out there perfect for facilitating my nerdy habits.
As a new member of Gamefly I've been able to explore video games in a new way. The ability to pick and choose games from a list of thousands AND keep them for an unlimited amount of time is a perfect money saving formula. Besides the fiscal implications, I see Gamefly as a perfect medium to test-drive games under the directive of a potential buy. No longer do I have to worry about purchasing a crappy game or feeling the anger and regret that accompanies such an action.
Lately I've become captivated by the ability to add as many games as I want to my GameQ. Gamefly utilizes a ranked list feature with a member's most desired games at the top and least preferred at the bottom so adding a ton of games is simple and efficient. I recently added Dead to Rights: Retribution for the Xbox 360 to my list on a whim. I didn't expect the boys at Gamefly to ship this particular title to me since it was at the bottom of my list. As if I had jinxed myself at that moment, Dead to Rights was shipped to me the next day.
Dead to Rights: Retribution is a 3rd person action, shooter with its origins on the PS2. This particular game is the third installment into the series, and not a fun one at that. The story follows a typical rebellious cop storyline, hosting its fair share of action sequences, gun battles, and attitude. The one aspect that sets this adventure apart is the protagonist's canine companion, Shadow. If you're picturing a tiny Chihuahua snug in a purse you are sadly mistaken. Shadow is a mammoth of a dog, easily the size of any in-game enemy with the ferocity to boot.
About the only enjoyable feature present within this game are the sequences where you are given control of Shadow. This is no ordinary dog. He runs at top-speed, can withstand the impact of oncoming bullets, and can literally tear bad guys apart. My favorite instance of canine inflicted brutality is called Scrotality. Every man's worst nightmare is Shadow's favorite pastime. He locks on to an enemy's crotch, chomps….chomps again, and in one last hurrah, decimates the enemy's manhood. You receive a 15 point achievement for performing this technique by the way.
Shadow can also target just about every part of the oncoming bad guys: the arms, chest, and even the throat. He can also perform stealth kills which usually results in the blood-curdling screams of his victims which the other NPC's apparently can't hear. Like any good dog fetching is a must, instead of sticks or tennis balls Shadow retrieves guns and ammunition. Even while playing as the boring old officer directing his companion is useful and helpful.
This is not a review. I would not allow myself to relive the unpleasant experience I encountered while playing this game. I did however want to share the utter viciousness and carnage enacted by man's best friend in Dead to Rights: Retribution. It certainly makes me look at my dog differently. While I wish I would have skipped this addition to my gaming history I'm happy I at least encountered a bit of amusement from an unexpected source.
