Pillared Clays and Related Catalystsby Miguel Angel Vicente Sophia A. Korili Raquel Trujillano Antonio Gil
Since the first works introducing the aluminum intercalated clay family in the early 1970s, interest in the synthesis of pillared interlayered clays has increased tremendously, especially research into the properties and applications of new synthesis methods. The need for solids that could be used as cracking catalysts with larger pores than zeolitic materials has spurred the synthesis of new porous materials from clays. Pillared Clays and Related Catalysts reviews the properties and applications of pillared clays and other layered materials used as catalysts, focusing on: the acidity of pillared clays and the effect it has on catalytic performance the use of pillared clays as supports for catalytically active phases, and the use of the resulting solids in environmentally friendly reactions the applications of the selective reduction of NOx the comparison between the reactions of pillared clays and anionic clays.

we have about as much of a chance at Weber as a fat pig farmer has to take home the prom queen. not happening preds will match any think we can offer for him he is there future he's young and restrictdon'tont even get your hope up.
I'm not so sure about that. The fact that an extension has not yet been signed already leads me to believe that Weber is asking for more than Nashville is offering. I could be wrong, maybe they didn't want to talk contracts during the season, but I refuse to believe that Nashville hasn't already tried to sign him to an extension. I mean, he is the freaking franchise. Maybe Weber and the Preds can meet halfway and get it worked out. Or maybe a team with a lot of cap space, a need for a defenseman and a legitimate shot at a championship can swoop in and give him what he wants.
Even if the Wings don't get Weber, this is a good chance to break the backs of a division rival. If he signs, Nashville loses their captain and best player. If he doesn't sign, Nashville might be spending more on one player than they want to and would be right up against their self imposed cap. Plus, there's a couple guys named Suter and Rinne that are UFA's after next season.

The important role of the carotid sinus pressure receptors in regulating the systemic arterial blood pressure has long been recognized.1-3 These pressure sensors are stretch receptors in the wall of the carotid sinus and they relay their stimulating signal by way of the carotid nerve to the vasomotor center in the hypothalamus. These impulses have an inhibitory effect on the vasomotor center leading to vasodilation and decrease in heart rate, cardiac output, venous return, and blood pressure. The stretch placed on these pressoreceptors depends on the wall stress as determined by Laplace's equation.3 The Laplace equation states that T = PR, where T is circumferential wall tension, P is internal distending pressure, and R is radius. Though strictly applicable only for tubes with infinitely thin walls, it provides a basis for understanding the effect of varying the diameter of an artery on the circumferential wall tension.

Over the past decade, NGS technologies have moved at a rapid pace, dramatically reducing costs and making genome sequencing more routine. What was once unthinkable is now possible. However, most genomes are still sequenced from DNA extracted from multiple cells, which misses differences between cells that could be crucial in controlling gene expression, cell behavior, and drug response. Still, challenges for single-cell sequencing remain, including cell isolation, DNA amplification and bioinformatics. As the techniques are being refined, subtle differences between cells, such as the tiny genomic rearrangements, will emerge. CHI's Single-Cell Sequencing conference focuses on the links between cell variation in tissues and organ function and further elucidates the origins of diseases.
Day 1 | Day 2
Wednesday, August 21
7:30 am Breakfast Technology Workshop (Sponsorship Opportunity Available)
Technology Aids Single-Cell Investigation
8:15 Chairperson's Remarks
Xinghua Pan, Ph.D., M.D., Associate Research Scientist and Group Head, Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine
» Featured Presentation
8:20 Technology Progress and Prospect on Single-Cell Genomics
Xinghua Pan, Ph.D., M.D., Associate Research Scientist and Group Head, Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine Biography
High-throughput sequencing of the genomes and functional genomics elements for single cells is a new dimension for biological analysis. For these analyses, sensitive and faithful amplification technology is essential and difficult. We have developed a series of novel methods to generate sufficient materials for sequencing analysis, representing a full-length mRNA transcriptome, whole CpG methylome, whole genome and open chromatins. We have also established a robust measurement of telomere length for single cells and a proof-of-concept process for analysis of DNA and RNA from the same single cell. The current progresses, applications and prospects will be addressed.
8:50 Strand-Seq: Template Strand Sequencing for High-Resolution Mapping of DNA Rearrangements in Single Cells
Ester Falconer, Ph.D., Research Fellow, Terry Fox Laboratory, BC Cancer Research Centre Biography
Current single-cell sequencing techniques can mask certain genomic features such as sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and translocations, both of which signify genomic instability, a potent driver of malignancies. We show that sequencing only the original parental template strands (Strand-Seq) in single murine and human cells can map such events with much greater resolution than traditional cytogenetic techniques, with the exchange region mapped as close as 22 bp. Importantly, Strand-Seq libraries show that the current assemblies of the mouse and human reference genomes contain multiple incorrectly oriented contigs, which in the case of the mouse genome assembly, totals nearly 1% of the genome. I will discuss how Strand-Seq can dramatically expand the range of biological questions that can be addressed in single cells.
9:20 RNA-Seq and Find: Entering the RNA Deep Field
Lior Pachter, Ph.D., Professor, Mathematics, Molecular & Cell Biology, and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, University of California, Berkeley
9:50 Selected Oral Poster Presentation: Genome Assembly Using Single-Cell DNA Template Strand Data
Mark Hills, Ph.D., Research Scientist, Terry Fox Laboratory, BC Cancer Research Centre
Standard genome-building approaches create ever-increasing scaffolds that are built into new reference genomes. However, the return of these endeavors diminishes as the proportion of unsequenced regions decreases. Using Strand-seq, a method to sequence template strands in single cells, we show we can stratify and orient contigs from early- and late-assembly genomes. The direction of these template strands provides a unique chromosomal signature, such that contigs originating from the same chromosomes share the same template strand directionality. Using this approach we have fine-tuned the assembly of "completed" reference genomes of mouse and man, and demonstrate the ability to correctly rebuild chromosomes from contigs based solely on their template strands in an early mouse build (mm1). We can further stratify these contigs into relative orders using sister chromatid exchanges to infer genetic distances, and suggest that this strategy will find broad application in constructing genome assemblies in the future.
10:05 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
11:00 Diagnostic Uses of Single-Cell Genomics
Allison Welsh, Ph.D., Research Scientist, Genitourinary Oncology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
The ability to perform genomic assays on single cells provides a means to detect cancer initiation at its earliest stages and to follow response therapy using minimally invasive techniques. We will describe results from whole genome assays on blood (circulating tumor cells), urine and fine needle aspirates using NextGen sequencing to assess copy number variation (CNV) as well as specific point mutations in multiple cancer types.
11:30 Single-Cell Sequencing of Circulating Tumor Cells from Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients
Fan Bai, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Biodynamic Optimal Imaging Center, Peking University Biography
We performed single-cell sequencing of circulating tumor cells from patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The genetic profiles of CTCs were compared with matched primary and metastatic tumor tissues from the same patient. All major mutations observed in tumor tissues were identified in CTCs. Genetic analysis of CTCs offers diagnostic advantages such as high specificity and non-invasiveness for tumor mutation assessment and targeted therapy. The genetic characteristics of CTCs may reveal genotypic transition during tumor progression.
12:00 pm Close of Session
12:30 Luncheon Technology Workshop: From Reads to Variants: Ten-Fold Reduction in Time and Cost with Improved Accuracy
Rupert Yip, Ph.D., Director, Product Marketing, Bina Technologies
Alignment and variant calling of raw NGS reads has been plagued by expensive HPC hardware and the bioinformatics personnel to support and maintain home-grown, open-source secondary analysis solutions. Such solutions can take up to weeks and $1000s per analysis. We present a genomic analysis platform that reduces, by ten-fold, the time and cost for secondary analysis while improving accuracy compared to standard pipelines. Our innovative model reduces costs by ten-fold while preventing hardware obsolescence.
Transcription and the Single Cell
1:30 Chairperson's Remarks
Jan Vijg, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Genetics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
1:35 Single-Cell Transcriptogenomics
Jan Vijg, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Genetics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine Biography
During organismal development and aging, changes in the genome of cells result in increased genetic mosaicism of the somatic tissues. To dissect this age-related intra-tissue heterogeneity, we developed single-cell, genome-wide sequencing procedures to measure both single nucleotide and structural variation. To directly link single-cell, genomic mutation loads to possible consequences at the level of the transcriptome, we then performed concurrent global mRNA amplification and whole-genome amplification of single cells followed by RNA-Seq and whole-exome sequencing, respectively. This method, "single-cell transcriptogenomics," allows us to directly track the consequences of randomly induced genetic mutations on gene expression profiles in the same single cell.
2:05 Insights into the Regulation of Protein Abundance from Proteomic and Transcriptomic Analyses
Christine Vogel, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, New York University Biography
The advent of large-scale sequencing and proteomics technologies has shown that translation and protein degradation regulation are as important as transcription to fine-tune cellular gene expression levels. We investigate general principles of protein expression regulation in eukaryotic cell systems, both under normal and stress conditions.
2:35 Sequencing the Genomes and Transcriptomes of Single Human Cells
Alec Chapman, Research Scientist, X. Sunney Xie Laboratory, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University Biography
While sequencing is rapidly revolutionizing the way biological questions are approached, the prevailing methods have been limited to studying large ensemble populations of cells, masking the heterogeneity that is crucial for understanding complex systems such as cancer and development. We have recently developed a technique—Multiple Annealing and Looping Based Amplification Cycles (MALBAC)—that is capable of uniform whole-genome amplification from single cells, achieving >90% coverage and enabling the detection of copy number variations and newly acquired single nucleotide variations with no false positives. Adapting MALBAC to transcriptome sequencing provides both improved technical reproducibility and increased sensitivity over existing methods and simultaneously sequencing the genome and transcriptome from the same cell allows us to probe the relation between genotype and phenotype in heterogeneous populations.
3:05 Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall, Last Chance for Poster Viewing
3:35 You Need More Power: Designing Cost-Effective Experiments for Measuring Differential Gene Expression Using RNA-Seq
Michele Busby, Ph.D., Computational Biologist, Broad Institute; former Research Scientist, Biology, Gabor T. Marth Laboratory, Boston College
RNA-Seq is a powerful tool for detecting differential gene expression, but only realizes its full potential when experiments are optimally designed. We will demonstrate how our computational tool Scotty can be used to design an experiment that contains an adequate number of samples sequenced to a sufficient depth to achieve experimental goals. We will further discuss how the performance of different RNA-Seq protocols can dramatically affect the power of an experiment and demonstrate computational techniques for assessing the performance of a protocol.
RNA-Seq Experimental Design and Bioinformatics with Michele Busby
4:05 Deconvolution of Heterogeneous Tissue Samples Based on RNA-Seq Data
Ting Gong, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Molecular Carcinogenesis, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
The promising biomedical applications of NGS have spurred the development of new statistical methods to capitalize on the wealth of information contained in RNA-Seq datasets. However, for heterogeneous tissues, measurements of gene expression through RNA-Seq data can be confounded by the presence of multiple cell types present in each sample. Here, we present a statistical pipeline for deconvolution of heterogeneous tissues based on RNA-Seq data.
4:35 Panel Discussion with Afternoon Speakers
Moderator: Jan Vijg, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Genetics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
The genome sequencing of large numbers of cells, while a significant and increasingly common technological feat, is also proving less effective than single-cell sequencing, which can better reveal intercellular variations that in turn relate to disease origins, gene expression and more. This panel addresses techniques, advantages, challenges and biomedical applications of single-cell sequencing to cancer, development, aging and other biological processes.

For investors in search of high yields, master limited partnerships have been the place to go. This unique business structure has been especially appealing to midstream oil and gas companies. With stable, predictable cash flows that aren't as affected by commodity prices as other parts of the oil and gas industry, midstream companies are able to return big sums of cash to shareholders. The business structure is so popular that several larger companies are looking to spin off their midstream assets into MLPs.
This past quarter, Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX ) , Valero (NYSE: VLO ) , and Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN ) have each expressed interest in a midstream MLP spin-off, and some expect to finish the process by the end of the year. In this video, Fool.com contributor Tyler Crowe looks at what these new midstream companies will mean to the MLP space and how investors should digest the news.

Mr. Wilfried Lemke, the Special Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace, launched the Youth Leadership Program with the aim of empowering young people from around the world. The Youth Leadership Program recognizes the potential that youth have to invoke change in their community especially in the field of SDP.
By providing opportunities for youth to develop and exercise their leadership skills, this programme not only contributes to their personal development, it can further strengthen a community's capacity to build on its strengths and respond to pressing community needs.
The 9th Youth Leadership Camp of the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace takes place in Berlin. It is organized in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the non-governmental organization Right to Play.
Outcomes and Objectives
Utilizing the power of sport and play the YLP will help youth gain practical leadership skills to
inspire and invoke change. Youth will create this change by:
• Enhancing the quality of SDP programs in their organization.
• Increasing the number of organizations in the community that are aware of how sport and play can contribute to development and peace.
• Increasing the number of people in the community that are participating in SDP.
To help youth promote this change, the Camp will encourage youth to:
• Reflect on their own perspective and approaches to development.
• Explore different strategies of using sport as a tool to inspire change in a variety of development areas, including most notably the MDGs.
• Identify and problem-solve barriers to implementing SDP programs in their communities.
• Share strategies, approaches and best practices in sport for development and peace.
• Learn to advocate for sport for development and peace.
• Create standards to guide the development and implementation SDP programs.
Using participatory facilitation techniques the program will favor an experiential approach
to learning. This methodology gives youth a chance to reflect on the lesson at hand, to
connect their learning to real-life situations, and to apply their knowledge to their communities.
Youth will not only be active participants in their own development but they will also support
the growth and development of youth from other countries. Through numerous partner organization presentations, leadership tasks, play-based activities and group discussions,
youth will learn to maximize the transformative power of sport and play.
Participants will be between 18 - 25 and originate from, DRC, Gambia, Ghana, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Madagascar, Namibia, Nigeria, Palestine, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

Featured Golf News
Bayonet & Black Horse Being Transformed By Gene Bates
The first segment of a golf course transformation unlike any other on the Monterey Peninsula was unveiled in early May with the debut of eight renovated holes and a completely new hole at the Bayonet Golf Course in Seaside, Calif.
Under the guidance of architect Gene Bates, both Bayonet and its companion course, Black Horse, are being sculpted into the centerpiece of a multi-million-dollar project by the Seaside Resort Development, LLC (SRD). When completed in late 2009, or early 2010, the facility will boast a luxury destination hotel and spa overlooking Monterey Bay, to be operated by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.
"This is not merely the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the golf courses, it is an entirely new book," said Joe Priddy, director of golf at Bayonet and Black Horse, which opened in 1954 and 1964, respectively.
Through the years, the former military layouts have tested many of the game's great players. They're now undergoing alterations that will create two distinctly different golf courses. While Bayonet will retain most of its classic, tree-lined character, Black Horse will acquire a more open feel, with both courses receiving new bunkering and greens.
Bayonet's front nine is the first phase to be completed. Work on Black Horse's back nine will begin May 7, and is slated to open in spring 2008, when work on the resort hotel starts on what currently is the driving range.
At that time, the remaining holes (Bayonet's back nine and Black Horse's front nine) will be under reconstruction. While work is underway there, a new double-ended practice facility - 58,000 square feet of grass hitting space that already has been completed - will be completed and open for use.
The synchronized effort points to a final completion of the 36-hole renovation in summer 2009.
Although the overall length of Bayonet has increased only 16 yards (to 7,133), the strategic and visual impact created by Bates' bunkering is immeasurable.
The completed nine holes at Bayonet will be different in several ways, notably in the order in which they play. Eventually, the holes may comprise the back side. That means a completely new par-4 - an uphill dogleg right of 476 yards - will be either the ninth or 18th hole. This new two-shotter replaces the old fifth, also a par-4.
Par has not changed on any hole, though the longest par-5 on the course has been shortened from 626 yards to 613 and will be placed before the new hole to create a daunting one-two combination.
Overall, the addition of the classic-style bunkering, filled with white sand, along with the removal of the Kikuyu and poa annua grasses in the fairways and greens, produce the most substantial improvement to the playing surfaces. The Kikuyu and poa eradication will take place on both courses. All of the new turf is Jacklin T1 bentgrass, a turf superior in density and performance, while affording better roll. The turf will benefit from the new irrigation and drainage systems that are being installed on all 36 holes.
One of the most dramatic design changes to the greens is the more level putting surface on what was the par-4 seventh (now the fifth hole on the side). Gone is a drastic, left-to-right drop-off, replaced with a fairer target with more modest movement movement.

text: So you ladies are loving the Primal Transformation (Frank Sabia's) story today right? Lol! I think it's an amazing success story, but I can tell you that being female and 47, and having adhered to Primal 95/5% for 7 months, and lifting heavy 3x/week for the last year, there is NO way I have come close to those types of results! And it's not to take anything away from Frank, what he did is amazing, it's just that I have to laugh sometimes to when I see the posts from mostly men who have very quick results, and then come across as if we women aren't trying hard enough, or don't have enough willpower. There's no doubt in my mind that women just metabolize fat differently, and that our hormones make it much more difficult to shed excess fat. Mark has written that it's 80% diet, 10% working out, 5% sleep, 5% stress. I think that's true for men, but for women I'd say it's 60% diet, 34% hormones, 5% working out, .05% sleep and .05% stress. But I am not making excuses, and I will continue the Primal lifestyle and fitness plans, I feel great, look much better and run rings around my 20 something counterparts in the energy, fitness and strength dept. Just wish I could get rid of my belly and look really good naked!

Personal Description:
In memory of our mother and our best friend. She lost her battle with ovarian cancer on August 19, 2008 at the age of 64. She taught us so much about life, love, courage, and bravery. Words cannot express what a wonderful person she was. We miss her dearly but we have hope they will one day find a cure for this horrible disease so no one else has to suffer. We love you, Mom!

The dialogue presented in these letters is representative of the continuing interest regarding methodologies and the diagnostic utility of the DST. The basic statistical and conceptual issues involved in either diagnostic or screening tests, including the concepts of sensitivity and specificity, are well described and summarized in this issue in the PERSPECTIVES article by Baldessarini et al (p 569). The emerging data on the DST and other indices of endocrine dysfunction in the affective disorders (as well as other illnesses) should eventually clarify their clinical utility in practice and the pathophysiology of the altered endocrine responses. Meanwhile, we need to keep in mind that endocrine dyscontrol is not necessarily identical with the pathophysiologic "essence" (or locus) of endogenous depression.
Furthermore, in psychiatry, as in all of medicine, diagnostic judgment can be guided but not replaced by any laboratory test, no matter how much we might wish for "objective" tests

Reviews for Doxepin to treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome
"Had symptoms of IBS D for years, after a bout with a bad colon infection. Following many tests, medication trials that all failed, a great GI specialist suggested doxepin, it was a miracle. Try it, it's cheap, few side effects, and it's effective!"

"I have battled stomach pains so bad it sent me to the ER. tests were run and always the same thing, liver enzymes up off the chart or sugar levels not right, white blood cell extremely high, but by the next morning everything was back to normal. Sometimes I didn't eat for a day or even weeks. I suffered for 13 years without any doctor saying a word about irritable bowel syndrome, I was the one that took it to my doctor and he put me on doxepin and within 24 hours I felt like a new person, can eat a normal diet and go where I want and live life again. Started with 25mg and only because it made me drowsy the second month I went to 10 mg, I love it! Thank You. "

One of the great things about good books is that they can reveal life through another person's eyes. That revelation is especially engaging when the character has some barrier to ordinary self expression. I recently read two fine books that offer fresh perspectives on school and life in general from characters who have trouble communicating with the world.
When it is too cold to play and you're stuck inside, you might get a little bit of cabin fever. One sure cure for this dreaded, boring condition is to make something fun. The Children's Department has hundreds of books filled with ideas and instructions to help you create colorful crafts.One great example is Creative Crafts for Kids published by Reader's Digest Children's Books. Here you will find instructions for making fantastic greeting cards, balloon monsters, floral picture frames, and much more. This book will help you get creative with paper, wire, paint, felt, glitter, and glue. Creative Crafts for Kids is right for children in 3rd grade and older, but the library has great craft books for all ages. We also have a wide selection of seasonal craft books to help you and your family celebrate the holidays. So don't suffer from cabin fever...come to the library to find a cure for a boring winter day.
If you know a child who is 7 years old or younger, the Learn and Play Space in the Children's Department at your Monroe County Public Library is the perfect place to visit. Children and their adult caregivers may explore several learning stations that were designed to help build early literacy skills. Children grow vocabulary when they work puzzles and play with puppets. Imaginary play in the store and the kitchen builds narrative skills which help children make meaning of words when they begin to read. The letter wall is a great place to learn the names of the letters and to practice the sounds the letters make. The writing center is stocked with cards, paper, envelopes, and markers so children can write books, mail letters, and draw pictures. Trained supervisors are available during most open hours to guide learning experiences, play games, and provide craft materials. There is even a dedicated space that is reserved for infants who are not walking and their caregivers exclusively. This engaging space has been made possible by support from the Smithville Charitable Foundation and the Friends of the Monroe County Public Library. Paper supplies for the writing center are received from the Reuse Center at the District.
The nights are growing chilly and the leaves are starting to turn. All of the apple and pumpkin books have been checked out at least once and soon the Halloween shelves will be bare. If you are looking for something slightly creepy to fit the season, you may have to dig a little deeper. We have two booklists to help you suss out books that will give you the shivers. Preschool and early elementary book lovers will enjoy selections fromThe Not-Too-Scary Stories booklist. Older readers who have a high tolerance for terror should look for the Horror display andbooklist.
Singing is one of the best activities children and caregivers can enjoy together. Singing promotes a love of music in young children and helps build early literacy skills by breaking words down into small pieces. The library is a great source of wonderful songs for early childhood in books, CDs, Books on CD, and DVDs. A particularly good source of engaging songs for preschool and young school-aged children are the materials by Dr. John Feierabend. Look for his books in the Parent-Teacher Resource Room. Adults who spend time with small children will love The Book of Songs & Rhymes with Beat Motions . Here you will find songs, rhymes, and games that encourage moving with the beat. These rhymes and songs have been passed along for generations and are full of magic and imagination. You will also find CDs of songs collected by Dr. Feierabend in the Children's Audio-Visual collection.
I recently attended a fascinating seminar on reading sponsored by the Monroe County Community School Corporation. The presenter was Dr. Timothy Rasinski, a professor at Kent State University who authored From Phonics to Fluency: Effective Teaching of Decoding and Reading Fluency in the Elementary School . The topic of the seminar was fluency in reading. While some school systems equate fluency with reading speed, Dr. Rasinski described it as a bridge between reading mechanics and comprehension. Children need to achieve accuracy in the surface or mechanical level of reading which includes phonics, spelling, and vocabulary to progress to the deep level where they make meaning. The link between the two is fluency. Fluent reading involves automaticity, or dealing with the mechanics of reading without stumbling and struggling. Fluency also requires prosody, the ability to read aloud or silently with proper phrasing and expression. Dr. Rasinski shared several methods that teachers and parents can use to help students improve their fluency. I was thrilled to hear that we public librarians have been promoting and supporting these activities at MCPL for years. His presentation focused on singing, poetry, and reader's theater.
I have never been one to watch the stars and find constellations. I could pick out the Big and Little Dippers, find the North Star and a couple of planets but that was about it. One night my neighbor knocked on my door and invited me outside to see the International Space Station pass overhead on its earthly orbit. On another evening, he taught me how to see the moons around Jupiter with my binoculars. Then I turned them on the full moon and saw the mountains and craters in a clarity I had never dreamed of before. I didn't know how much I could see with ordinary binoculars. Now I am a fan of the sky and I am fascinated by what astronomers arelearning about the origin of the universe through telescopes.
School is almost out and the summer reading program has begun. Our theme this year is One World Many Stories: Get Reading, Get Moving. Reading folktales is the perfect way to explore this exciting theme and one of the best folktale collectors is Margaret Read MacDonald.Dr. MacDonald lived in Bloomington many years ago when she studied for her Ph.D. in folklore at Indiana University. She lives and works in Washington state today where she is a librarian, storyteller, and author of dozens of books. Some of her books are collections that are perfect for beginning storytellers. Teachers, parents, and kids who want to learn how to tell stories will love The Storyteller's Start-Up Book . These stories are easy to learn and Dr. MacDonald gives great advice on how to present them. When the Lights Go Out: Twenty Scary Tales to Tell is a fun collection of shivery stories that are great to share around a summer campfire.
"What would you do if you knew you had a special gift - a sixth sense - that was passed down from one generation to the next? A gift that could help people in times of need, but one your father often saw as a trap. Would you use that gift?" The Water Seeker by Kimberly Willis Holt is the story of Amos Kincaid, a boy who could find water where it lay beneath the land, unseen by ordinary eyes.After his mother dies in childbirth, Amos is raised by a succession of women who are each symbols of the American West: a missionary, a rough farm worker, a new bride, and his father's second wife, an Otoe Indian woman. Each of them contributes something unique to the boy's upbringing under the watchful presence of his mother's spirit. The boy is also shaped by the rough men of the wilderness: his father Jake, a reluctant dowser and trapper, and the Blocks, a family of boys as close as brothers to Amos. All come together in the vast wilderness of America sharing tragedy and triumph as Amos grows into manhood on a perilous journey along the Oregon Trail.Recommended for readers in grades 5-8

THE construction of facilities to redirect sewage from four wastewater plants in Portmore to the Soapberry sewage treatment plant could take about two years, based on responses from the National Water Commission (NWC).
Answering questions posed by Our Habitat, NWC corporate communications manager Charles Buchanan said the Commission is awaiting bids that have been invited via the local newspapers in early March before the project can start. Those bids are expected to be submitted on or before June 28, 2012.
In the published invitation, the NWC indicated its intention to "construct conveyance facilities to redirect the sewage that now flows to four of its wastewater plants in Portmore, to the Soapberry Wastewater Treatment Plant". The four plants earmarked are Independence City, Bridgeport, Hamilton Gardens and Caymanas Gardens.
The project will be financed under NWC's K-Factor programme and will be implemented using a design-build arrangement, but Buchanan declined putting a pricetag on the project as the proposals were still being accepted.
In keeping with government procurement and contracting guidelines, the NWC will proceed with preparatory and implementation activities after the proposals are received, evaluated and selected. It is expected that the actual project will be implemented within 18 months of the finalisation of contracting details, Buchanan stated.
Assuming the contracting details take six months to be finalised, it could be about two years before sewage from the Portmore plants are channelled to Soapberry.
The Soapberry facility, located south of Mandela Highway and bordered by Hunt's Bay, is located on 133 hectares (333 acres) of land and consists of a series of ponds in which raw sewage from Kingston is oxidised, resulting in solid matter settling to the bottom and clear treated water flowing to the sea.
Completed in 2008 at a cost of US$50 million, Soapberry was touted to arrest the pollution of the Kingston Harbour.
The National Environment and Planning Agency 2009-10 annual report described Portmore sewage treatment plants as discharging "poorly treated sewage effluent" into the Rio Cobre, which in turn goes to the Kingston Harbour.
According to the NWC, the Soapberry plant is "presently operating at approximately 60 per cent of its capacity as about 10 million gallons of wastewater is being collected and treated each day while the plant has a capacity of 16.5 million gallons.
The Commission also disclosed that "in addition to the increasing flows to be directed to Soapberry by the Portmore and Kingston Metropolitan Area sewerage development projects, it is proposed that Soapberry will be expanded in the next three to seven years".

One person influential to the Brewers' strong start was not even alive when the season began. When Eddie Overbay was born on April 17, his father, Brewers first baseman Lyle Overbay, was hitting just .100 with a .480 OPS. However, since being reinstated from the paternity list, the elder Overbay has gone on a tear. The 37-year-old Washington native has compiled a six-game hit streak, raising his OPS to a very solid .824. Further, Overbay has improved his wRC+ to a terrific 134, which is the highest mark of his career. Overbay's recent success is due to his opposite-field power, an increased line-drive rate, and a more-disciplined batting eye.
Overbay has had good power to opposite field this season. With the increased use of defensive shifts, it has become especially important to be able to hit the ball to all fields. Overbay's spray chart indicates that he certainly has this skill. While he has pulled most of his grounders to the right side, his power – the fly balls – have been predominately to left field. As a result, Overbay has a .429 batting average to the opposite field. This success going the other way is partly a mark of Overbay being an experienced veteran. Also, Overbay may have benefitted from talking to Ryan Braun. Braun displays similar trends – pulling grounders and hitting fly balls the other way. If Overbay has indeed adjusted his approach due to chats with Braun, he certainly picked a good player to emulate.
Additionally, Overbay is getting really good contact on the ball this season. As a result, 27.6% of Overbay's contact has been line drives, which is his second-highest rate in the past decade. Further, his line-drive percentage is 8th-best in the National League, tied with Arizona's superstar Paul Goldschmidt. Generally speaking, hitting line drives is better than hitting a ground ball or even a fly ball. Overbay has proved no exception here, as he is hitting .750 (8-12) on liners.
Another aspect of Overbay's early-season success is his disciplined approach at the plate. Having written about Jonathon Lucroy's patience two weeks ago I would like to avoid sounding redundant, but similar analysis applies to Overbay as well. The first baseman has cut down on his hacks at bad balls, swinging at just 20.7% of pitches out of the strike zone – his lowest rate since 2009. However, he has been more aggressive against good pitches. Overbay is swinging at 81.1% of pitches in the strike zone, more than he ever has in the past. As a result of his improved batting eye, his 2014 walk rate is the highest of his career and his strikeout rate is the lowest of his career.
It is really tough to project how Overbay will do going forward. It is still so early in the season and, as noted, just a week ago he was flirting with the Mendoza Line. His "good April" has really just been one good week, which is way too small to draw conclusions from. That said, his .286 BABIP reveals that the success he has had is not due to any quirky aberrations. Further, the opposite-field power and increased line-drive rate indicate that he is still making good swings and is not showing physical signs of age. Another reason to be optimistic about Overbay is the fact that Milwaukee only needs him to platoon, meaning that most of his at-bats are against right-handers. He has torched righties for a career 115 wRC+ compared to just 77 against southpaws, so the platoon puts him in a position to succeed. Overbay can still be a solid, productive hitter, and perhaps Brewers fans should thank Eddie for his father's reemergence.

Canada's two biggest railways are phasing out or retrofitting their older DOT-111 tanker cars -- the kind involved in last summer's fiery disaster in Lac-Megantic, Quebec.
CN Rail said it will get rid of the 183 older cars it uses, and CP Rail is upgrading the almost 200 such cars it uses to make them safer.
Although the DOT-111 is considered a workhorse, critics say models built before October of 2011 are not strong enough to remain intact in an accident.
Models constructed after that date are built to tougher safety standards.
Last July, 63 older DOT-111 cars carrying oil derailed in Lac-Megantic.
All but three of those cars were breached and released oil, triggering fiery explosions that killed 47 people and destroyed 40 buildings.

text: Stetson Falls to VCU on the Road November 29, 2012 RICHMOND, Va. - The Stetson men's basketball team (2-3) fell behind early and never recovered against a battle tested VCU (4-3) squad, falling to the Rams by a score of 92-56 on Wednesday night in Richmond. Known for their stifling style of defense, the Rams forced the Hatters into 22 turnovers, which is seven more than in any other game this season for Stetson. VCU turned that into 32 points off of turnovers, and 17 fast break points. In front of a raucous 21st consecutive sellout Verizon Wireless Arena, the Rams forced Stetson to 34.0 (16-of-47) percent shooting from the floor and just 16.7 (3-of-18) percent shooting from beyond the arc. That is over 20 percentage points less than the team's 37.6 percent average. However, it was offensive rebounds and second chance opportunities that hurt the Hatters in the early going. Nine boards on the offensive glass for the Rams turned into 13 second chance points, and got VCU out to a 41-22 lead at the break. Stetson was hanging in there with the Rams to start, as a backdoor pass from freshman Logan Irwin found senior Joel Naburgs for a layup to tie the game at 2-2. VCU center Juvonte Reddic quickly countered with his second straight basket to give the Rams a lead they would not give up the rest of the contest. The Hatters found success in taking it to the athletic Rams, forcing VCU to foul Stetson early on. Free throws by junior Willie Green, senior Adam Pegg, and junior Chris Perez were followed by a driving basket from Perez to keep Stetson in the game a 9-8 with 13:48 to play in the first half. An 11-2 run from the Rams increased the Stetson deficit to 10 points at 20-10, and that's when VCU found its rhythm. The Hatters went into the break down 19 points when a three-pointer, a steal, and a fast break layup gave VCU the momentum. After VCU extended its lead to as many as 28 early in the second half, Stetson used a 13-0 run to get back within 15 points, at 55-40 with 12:12 to play. Seven straight points by Perez - on a triple and two drives to the basket - were sandwiched between six free throws from Naburgs and Irwin. That was when the Rams showed why they recently defeated #19 Memphis, fell to #5 Duke by just nine, and dropped a tight 68-65 game to #13 Missouri. VCU is a very good team, and proved it by outscoring Stetson 37-16 over the rest of the game Wednesday night. Stetson was led by Naburgs, who scored 16 points, dished out three assists, and picked up two steals. Perez added 15 points and four rebounds, while Irwin chipped in with nine points and three assists. Green led the Hatters with eight rebounds. Continuing with the quality team play that led to Stetson leading the nation in assists per game as of Monday, the Hatters were once again very efficient on Wednesday night. SU recorded just 16 field goals, but 14 of them were assisted baskets. VCU was led by four double-digit scorers, including Reddic, who finished with 20 points and six rebounds. Rob Brandenberg and Jarred Guest each recorded 17 points, while the latter led the Rams with a game-high 10 boards. They totaled 14 steals in the win, as Brandenberg and Briante Weber tallied four each. "We're really disappointed, obviously," Stetson head coach Casey Alexander said after the game. "They're a great team, and you have to play great to give yourselves a chance, and we played anything but that." Stetson will now head back to Florida to take on Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach on Monday, December 3. The game can be heard on WSBB 1230 AM in New Smyrna, 1490 AM in DeLand, and on www.myam1230.com. Print Friendly Version More Headlines

FAL for deer hunting?

> FAL for deer hunting?
August 29, 2004, 09:53 PM
I'm considering it. Have a DSA STG58 with a 1st Gen Springfield 14X scope, wonder how that would be in a tree stand? Anyone try it?

The FAL would be OK if legal, though a bit heavy and awkward, but a 14 power scope? Focused on a deer at tree stand range, you would see nothing but hair.
August 29, 2004, 10:13 PM
Member kotengu took his first deer with an FAL last year.
Generally, expect a battle rifle to be heavier and more cumbersome than a purpose-built hunting rifle. I tried using an HK 91...ONCE.
'Course, my sporterized '03 works just fine...;)
Incidentally, 14x is way too powerful. These deer were taken with the scope at 2.5X- the further was at 173 yards.

I haven't used a FAL, but I used my Remington 700 VS in .308...once. It was probably the same weight and I didn't have fun lugging it around. When it comes down to it, a good light bolt gun in .30-06 or any other good caliber is hard to beat for putting meat on the table. That doesn't mean I haven't loaded up some hunting loads for my K-31. Still, when something works, why do we always want to mess with it? I guess it is just who we are as gun enthusiasts. I would only recommend a lower power scope, but other than that, it will work if you do. Get some 150 gr. hunting loads and get them dialed in and you will be able to do it.
August 30, 2004, 02:14 PM
Many states require that if you use a semi-auto that it CANNOT hold more than five rounds in the mag and one in the chamber.
Hey if you are willing to crawl up a tree with a 12 pound over-scoped battle rifle, be my guest...
But 14X is WAY TOO MUCH. Get a 3x9, leave it on 3. If you see something far away, you'll have time to dial UP.
Maker sure your rifle will function with hunting bullets (soft points).
Johnny Guest
August 30, 2004, 06:24 PM
The vast majority of military sniper rifles, over the decades, have been fitted with three- to four-power scope sights.
While field sights can do a very credible job on the target range, it is less frequent that the reverse is the case. Since the aiming points on paper targets are relatively small, high magnification is valuable from the bench. You can make a good humane kill of a deer if you can place your bullet anywhere in a ten-inch circle. A four power scope will allow this out beyond the distance where bullet drop becomes a major factor.
By the time extreme magnification becomes an aid to proper shooting on a deer-size target, the trajectory of a load becomes a problem. It is easy to sight in a .308 to use the same hold from right-up-close out to 275 yards. Once beyond 300 yards, you need to be a pretty good at range estimation, or have your range finder well tuned up.
Besides, an FAL just LOOKS better with a more compact scope. :D
August 31, 2004, 06:15 AM
FAL...good choice.... :cool:
14x scope....all you'll see are the deer ticks.... :evil:
Dial it down to 4x & you'll do fine... :D
August 31, 2004, 12:01 PM
DSA makes five round hunting mags for the FAL.
A 4x scope will suit you just fine. Just make sure it's a good one; FALs are unforgiving of cheap scopes. They tend to beat them up.
Jim K
August 31, 2004, 12:36 PM
FWIW, I think a Remington Model 7 in 7mm-08, with a 2.5 scope, is just about right for that job.
August 31, 2004, 01:42 PM
"Member kotengu took his first deer with an FAL last year."
I plead guilty! I would agree that there are rifles that may be better suited to hunting (a lightweight bolt gun would be ideal), but I used that FAL for two reasons -
1. To become more familiar with my weapon of choice, practice my skills, and put them to a little more reality-based "test" than punching holes in paper.
2. The FAL makes a great "general purpose weapon", where it can be used for everything from troop issue, to shooting 3-gun matches, to general range plinking, and hunting just about anything in North America. Sure, they may be better choices for each individual event, but I have found none that can do all of them any better than the FAL
If you have unlimited financial resources - buy a specialized gun for each thing you want to do in life, and more power to you! Keep in mind you'll also have to allocate a lot of time in really getting to know each firearm, not to mention all the varieties of ammo and the like.
I'd have to agree with the low-power scope issue though. I started out using just iron sights, but after the difficulty in picking up the front post in the near darkness, I switched to a 3-9 power Leupold that I almost always leave on 3x. The added bonus to a scope is it's great for confirming target identification.

Thanks all, the scope is variable so I can dial it down, and in Alabama, well, its not like we get checked a whole lot down here so the magazine capacity factor isn't a factor. If you are man enough to carry and shoot it then its ok to use. Too bad I can't hunt deer with it in prone with bipod extended. It is one accurate hard hitting gun. Friend has a sod farm with real long shots possible so I might be able to try it there.

Two men were shot in a gun training accident Sunday afternoon.
Casselberry police said the incident occurred at Shoot Straight, a well-known firearms dealer and gun range at 4700 South US 17-92.
Police said one man was teaching another man about a 9mm handgun, when a round jammed. Police said the instructor was clearing the jam when his finger touched the trigger, causing the gun to fire. The instructor was hit in the finger, and his student was hit in the upper right thigh, authorities said.
Casselberry police said the two men were not seriously injured. They said both men are in their 30s.
Police have not released their names. The instructor was taken to Florida Hospital-Altamonte, while the student was taken to ORMC.
The investigation revealed the shooting was accidental. Police said neither man was employed by Shoot Straight.
WESH 2 News contacted Shoot Straight, which declined to comment on the incident.

I use it regularly. Nothing to report
Has anyone else noticed any digestive issues with Fish Sauce?
I made a very simple stir fry last night - grass-fed beef, onion, broccoli, red bell pepper, my usual seasonings profile. And then I added Fish Sauce to it, just as an experiment. About two hours after eating it, my digestive system was wrecked. It's still not great, and even this morning, it occasionally sounds like a very bad thunderstorm is taking place in my stomach.
The ingredients were extremely simple - anchovy, salt, sugar and water. And only a very little bit of sugar. I didn't use much, either - maybe two tablespoons, max. The meat was brand new and cooked to just past medium.
I can't think of anything else I ate yesterday that could have caused it; I skipped breakfast, had avocado and lime for lunch, and drank some coffee with HWC. Kind of a typical day for me, actually.
I'm just wondering if it maybe had some hidden gluten in it or something. Ugh.
I use it regularly. Nothing to report
Four years Primal with influences from Jaminet & Shanahan and a focus on being anti-inflammatory. Using Primal to treat CVD and prevent stents from blocking free of drugs.
Eat creatures nose-to-tail (animal, fowl, fish, crustacea, molluscs), a large variety of vegetables (raw, cooked and fermented, including safe starches), dairy (cheese & yoghurt), occasional fruit, cocoa, turmeric & red wine
Use it all the time and have never had any problems. How are you determining it was the fish sauce and not something else?
That said, fish sauce is fermented, and fermented products always have the chance to go bad. When in doubt, throw it out.
My suspicion falls on the fish sauce because yesterday was an IF day for me, and it was the only new item on the menu. So I didn't eat much at all, and what I did eat consisted of the same fresh grassfed beef, fresh vegetables and fresh fruit I always eat.
Same for the day before, minus the IF part.
Definitely throwing it out, but I may experiment again (on a WEEKEND) because it was tasty.

BAGHDAD - There's new pressure on Syria's fractured political opposition to attend an international conference aimed at ending the country civil war. In Baghdad today, Syria's foreign minister offered the first direct confirmation that the Assad regime is willing to take part in the talks. He says his government believes the conference is a "good opportunity for a political solution for the crisis in Syria." Some Syrian opposition leaders have said they are willing to attend, but insist Assad's departure must top the agenda. The Syrian crisis began in March 2011 with pro-democracy protests and morphed into a bloody civil war. More than 70,000 people have been killed and several million displaced since the uprising against President Bashar Assad erupted. Meawhile, a pair of rockets slammed into a car dealership and a residential building in strongholds of Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group in Beirut today, wounding four people. The attacks come a day after Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah vowed the group would help propel Syrian President Bashar Assad to victory in the country's civil war.

Andrew Stern Obituary
I am in shock at the death of one of my oldest friends in the business Andrew Stern. We had a love/hate relationship for years and always gave each other a hard time. He always gave me a hard time for "stealing" his girlfriend Heidi Liddell (who ended up marrying Chuck Liddell) even though I never had a romantic relationship with her. It was a running joke between us.
After he was on the Millionaire Matchmaker show, I always gave him a hard time about that — until he found the love of his life and married her.
Andrew kept his original company, never sold out, always was making money and working hard. I remember the ridiculous first flash site he had with a swinging sign and I told him the entire idea would never work at all and the site sucked. He never really listened to my advice, and always ended up making money pretty much by himself, through hard work.
We both started in the industry at the same time, and his passing makes me extremely sad. We were both young kids in this industry, and grew up making money in this industry — and everyone I know did business with him at one time or another.
My thoughts to his family and all those who were touched by him. He will be missed.
After graduating Cum Laude in Psychology on a tennis scholarship from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Mr. Stern made the trip out West to Los Angeles, California where he excelled in marketing for over fifteen years. Mr. Stern began his career in marketing with the Los Angeles Lakers, working with advertisers such as Taco Bell, Southwest Airlines and Pepsi. He followed that by joining the online company Broadband Sports, working with dozens of professional athletes such as Kobe Bryant, Anna Kournikova and Terrell Owens; building their websites and creating new ways to send fans there. He also had a weekly sports editorial column read by millions of users. Mr. Stern then joined L90 Worldwide; a publicly traded online advertising agency. As a sales and media planner, he repped over 500 websites selling various forms of advertising on these web properties as well as creating custom media plans for brand name advertisers.
In 2002, Mr. Stern founded Seed Corn Advertising, and since then had the privilege of working with over 600 advertisers and over 400 publishers and affiliates delivering quality traffic across a wide array of verticals and web properties. Seed Corn Advertising oversees a vast search affiliate network, which generates in excess of 3 million clicks per day through properties such as find.com, seedcornppc.com, approvedsearch.com, and heresjohny.com as well as over 350 owned and operated websites and over 3,000 domains, a display network of over 6,000 sites and an opt-in database of over 30 million records.
Mr. Stern was a consummate entrepreneur having launched multiple online ventures; in addition to producing movies, launching restaurants, real estate and brokering exotic cars.
Andrew was featured on Season 2 of the hit TV show "Millionaire Matchmaker"

I worked for Drew for a few months last year. Although I didn't work directly with him, I did chat with him a couple times and talked on the phone with him. He seemed like a really nice guy. I am still in shock that this happened.
2014-06-24 at 13:40
RIP Andrew 🙁 so sorry to hear this sad news (never knew him) thoughts & prayers are with his family x
2014-06-24 at 17:19
Nice article Pace thanks for the nice words about our friend Drew! He was a good guy, I have many fond memories of the good times I spent with him as a roommate, friend, business associated and wingman. He will be missed!
2014-06-24 at 17:57
Knew Andrew from child hood. Know his parents. Great family. Will be missed. We are all heartbroken.
2014-06-24 at 18:43
Very sad indeed… So sorry to hear this. 🙁 I wish he would have gotten help before it was too late. I would've helped. Gah he was cute and successful…. so sad.
2014-06-25 at 06:27
WOW! What a shock. Just chatted with him the other day. Was hoping that this was a joke 🙁 Great guy and will definitely be missed. Sucks he left the earth this young. I will be praying for his family and my heart goes out to them. All I can say is this truly sucks 🙁
2014-06-25 at 07:46
I am truly saddened by the passing of Andrew Stern. I've known Andrew since he launched Seed Corn and have worked with him off and on since. I recently spoke to him and he was always his charming, wonderful self. I wish I would have known what was going on personally. We laughed about his wife, he seemed very much in love and looking forward to upcoming events. He will be missed – He is a shining star!! A true asset to the industry!!
2014-06-25 at 09:49
When is the funeral? Andrew attended my husbands funeral and really supported me during a very sad chapter in my life. He was one if the kindest and most caring people in the industry. He Will be greatly missed.
2014-06-25 at 11:57
There will be a memorial in Venice Beach on Saturday.
2014-06-25 at 13:02
R.I.P. Andrew. I'm so sorry for this 🙁
2014-06-25 at 13:35
Many Thoughts and Prayers
2014-06-25 at 15:01
RIP Andrew…shame you had to go at such a young age. Prayers go out to your family and loved ones at this difficult time in their life.
2014-06-27 at 06:29
Shocked by this loss to his friends, family and the industry. He was a legend. May his memory give strength and inspiration to us all.
2014-07-09 at 08:34
Rest In Peace Andrew.
2014-08-08 at 15:00
I didn't know Andrew personally…I do remember him from the matchmaker tv show he appeared on..he struck me as being very nice, likeable and handsome…he stood out from the others because he was the one person that did not need to be using that service…so sad that the worst stuff happens to the best folks

Steve Jobs is not Apple. I respect the man and his vision/accomplishments, but I do dislike Apple's business practices. This doesn't mean I don't feel the impact he had on tech, or don't wish we could have saved him. The world of technology lost its greatest giant, and now we'll never know what amazing things he'd have dreamt in the future.

27. LameHumor (unregistered)
Honestly, it was just a bit of comic relief. I understand that Steve jobs has changed this world for the better with his outstanding technology advances and he will be missed dearly, but you have to also keep in mind not everyone handles death well regardless of whether or not they knew him and a short little joke like that might help ease their mind.
30. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)

59. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Seriously dude that was low, you might not like him as a person or apple in general but he was a human and nobody deserves that bulls**t. There's a special place in hell for people like you.
73. LameHumor (unregistered)
Please do read the reply from me on the same comment, as I stated, it was comic relief because death is certainly something that many fear and a lot of people are in a very emotional state right now over this, refer to the comments of people shedding real tears. I defiantly think its a tragedy that he has passed and that technology will begin to slow down in response of that because if you think of innovation, he defiantly comes to mind. And as for "a special place in hell for people like me", then you obviously need to take a step back and relax as well because according to said bible, thou shall not worship any other god except for me, and as it sounds to me you worship Steve Jobs for his creations, and on top of that, im pretty sure posting a small quick joke with good intentions doesn't reserve 1 a spot in hell. Please, chill.
78. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@lamehumor. It's not about worshipping Steve. It's about respect for someone who passed on, and respect to those who are saddened by his passing. I don't think a comic relief would comfort anyone mourning. Would you appreciate some comic relief in your wife's or children's death?
88. LameHumor (unregistered)
If in attempt to try and cheer me up so I could get past the moment and continue strong, yes I would appreciate it. Regardless, thats talking on a personal level and talking about love ones, if you put me infront of his wife and children I would understand it isn't probably going to be appreciated but this is a man that has brought new and exciting technology to the world and has kept us advancing in said world, not someone who asked for our hand in marriage and produced offspring with us. I think there is definatly a line of realism to be had in this situation, I can understand appreciating him and showing your respects for the man that has done so much for so many, but everyone is taking it way to personally as if they have lived with this man and been his best friend for years.
I don't know, maybe I underestimated just how emotional some apple fans can be and how devastated they are by this and as I just realized, I didn't apologize for the joke in question and I do apologize for it now.
94. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Thank you for apologizing but instead of trying to rationalize it just say this "It was a dumb and tasteless joke and I regret saying this. This is a tragic day."
95. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@LameHumor. Then you're one of the few. But if you want to respect most of the people who do not appreciate your unusual and uncommon trait of comic relief when mourning for someone. Maybe you cannot relate since you're obviously very different, just try be more understanding to the majority who would find your character rude and insensitive. That's all. Peace.
108. LameHumor (unregistered)
So after an apology and a response to your comment about how comic relief was inappropriate, you take a stab back at me about being a deviant of society and insulting my level of "normality"? Now that is very rude and insensitive. It's normal for someone literally shed tears of someone who they have never met? Ok, he's a public figure and an icon to a lot of people, were you crying tears of sadness when Bernie Mac died? Don't sit there and insult someones character if you counter their rudeness with the same. I apologized for the joke and after which you begin insulting me, now tell me, is that normal?
@Biophone. I agree it is most tragic, and you are welcome for the apology. Granted I was just trying to rationalize it for people who took it more then what it was but your right, past the fluff, I should have just said those words.
218. Knight (unregistered)
don't use rude and insensitive here, you don't know the meaning of these words. go to hell! and again, i hope that everyone around you will be happy and busy with comic reliefs when you die.
202. Phullofphil (Posts: 801; Member since: 10 Feb 2009)
Move on it was a joke said way too early and to lame hummer don't apologize at all people mourn in different ways you don't have to go with the status quo and say what every one else is saying. Steve had a great life and I personally think he would have enjoyed to hear that. Hummer and sadness are both a part of getting through hard times. If you are really offended by it just skip it. I think people have the right to say what ever they want rven if they thought of him as their rival in a rival company. I my selph am not all that sad. I am happy for Steve he had a great life and it should be celebrated and remembered.

Welcome everyone to the thirteenth annual Cruis'n Exotica Worldwide Tour! It's been over a decade since the legendary third Cruis'n racing game first took you to exotic locales around the world, and got you begging ever since, "When can I go?" Well the answer, dear cruisers, is right now. My name is Carol, and I'll be your guide on this three-month, thirty-thousand-mile adventure. So let's get cruis'n!
Right now we're on the road to Seoul, the capital of South Korea. While left unacknowledged in the game, Korea is actually two countries. No, Dave, I don't know why the roads aren't all lined with flags and ancient pagodas. And I hate to disappoint you, but I don't think we'll pass giant statues of the Buddha, or drive off wooden bridges steep enough to flip the bus. But if you'll look out either window, you'll notice trees that are very faithful to the gameplay. Ah, here we are in the city! The finish line with the buxom twins and gold trophy? Oh, there isn't that either.
We're now driving through Denali National Park, home of the highest mountain peak in North America. Haha, Dave, I am aware that the Denali is a car. No, we will not be driving it, or anything other than this here bus. And I'm sorry if this part of Alaska doesn't consist of a peninsular beach the width of a two-lane highway, an ocean full of breaching humpback whales, a sky full of twirling biplanes, and snowcapped mountains on the horizon that never get closer. I don't know if there is a part of Alaska like that, or a part of the world like that, Dave. So please sit back down. And no, I will not at least double-tap the pedal. It won't make us do a wheelie.
Here we are in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, floating above the site of the mythical Atlantis. Yes, Dave, it's mythical. That means none of it is real. The ruined Athenian temples, the gigantic tropical fish, and the road across the sea floor that you can drive on in an open convertible? All fake. No, we can't just turn back to shore and check out Italy. If you want to see Italy, you sign up for the Cruis'n World Worldwide Tour, which runs from December to March. You already dropped forty thousand dollars to see the sites from Cruis'n Exotica, not the admittedly superior predecessor Cruis'n World, and I'm doing the best I fucking can, okay, Dave?
It's Mumbai, Dave! There is no goddamn "open road" in Mumbai! I didn't design the Cruis'n levels to be completely unrealistic interpretations of the real places they're based on! I didn't insist that real places be random assemblages of mundanity, rather than one-way courses flanked by iconic landmarks and hyperbolic stereotypes! This is the thirteenth year we've done this, Dave! You should have checked the message boards beforehand!
Don't get on that plane, Dave. You're the only cruiser left on what might be the last ever Cruis'n tour, and the only thing keeping me from crashing an SVT Cobra I can't still afford into Angkor fucking Wat. My life is counting down from ten right now, and I just don't know if I can continue. But you're my extra quarters, Dave. Don't run out on me yet.
The itinerary says "space camp," Dave! How the fuck did you expect us to leave Earth?!
-Matt Garczynski '14
