Masters Countdown: 28 days
Jordan Spieth, Harris English, and Patrick Reed will all play their first Masters in 2014. Do any of them have a chance to win?
More Golf: Leaderboard | Rankings | Schedule | Equipment | FedEx Cup | Masters
The Masters is just around the corner (28 days, to be exact) and we're pretty excited. There's plenty of golf to be played between now and then but we also want to keep you informed about what's going on with Augusta.
Your first time is always special. To date 20 golfers have qualified for their first Masters tournament this April. A handful of amateurs and the rest of them stars (or budding stars) on the PGA Tour.
There have only been three golfers who have won their first time (and one was in the first Masters). They are Horton Smith (1934), Gene Sarazan (1935), and Fuzzy Zoeller (1979).
These five could bust that mold in four weeks.
1. Harris English -- A friend of mine who used to caddie for a tour pro swears English will win multiple (multiple!) US Opens. I'm not sure if he can get his putter hot enough to win the Masters but you know he'll be on point with his irons. His Georgia background would make for a great tale. Odds: 66-1
2. Jordan Spieth -- The betting darling of this Masters (and probably many others). I think Spieth is still a tad to erratic to win a major but he'll cut his teeth enough this season that next year is a real possibility. Odds: 28-1
3. Jimmy Walker -- He's been one of the best putters on tour all year but part of me wonders if that's the exception and not the rule. It feels like there's going to be a regression to the mean there for Walker, he better hope it comes after April 13th. Odds: 50-1
4. Patrick Reed -- Pretty crazy that one of the top five players in the world doesn't have Vegas odds on winning his first major. But seriously, if he can roll it like he did at the Cadillac Championship (ninth in strokes gained putting) he has the stones to stare down the final 18 on Sunday. Odds: N/A
5. Billy Horschel -- He's a solid putter but not a great one. I'm not sure you have to be the latter to win this tournament (hi, Adam Scott) but I'm also not sure Horschel has the disposition to stay patient for 72 holes of a grueling major. Odds: 125-1

this game was an absolute pain in the ass. LOL those energy cells were a bitch when tryin to find them. but i loved it. i absolutely do. even though its my first metroid game, ive already completely fallen in love with the series. this game definately deserves a 10/10
it took me about 16 hours to beat.
i got 97% complete.
what did you guys like or dislike about the game when you were done with it. and whats your overall score?? (time and percentage)
OHAI! I'm just an old dinosaur from 2006 seeing who's here
The name is. . . Hugo
Got a Nintendo 3DS? 2492-5132-0881
I think I'm only 17% through. I wanted to try to beat it before I have to take it back on Thursday, (I rented it) but it doesn't look like thats going to happen. Its an excellent game though.

Not that my august readers need this, but a couple of things come to mind in reasons not to trust government for a solution to life's problems.
1. The recent hullabaloo about a classified intelligence report claiming that the situation has gotten worse since we invaded Iraq. Whether the report is true or false, any politician worth his salt ought to be calling for the heads of those who broke the law by releasing this report, not making political hay out of it.
2. "Means testing" for government "charity" programs tends to promote the very behaviors (not saving, not working) that tend to result in a need for charity.
As Ronaldus Maximus noted, the most terrifying words in the universe are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you."

A poor start couldn't keep the San Jacinto Christian Academy girls from qualifying for the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools Class 3A state basketball tournament for the fourth straight year Saturday.
The Lady Patriots went scoreless in the first quarter against Fort Worth Lake Country in the regional final at Fort Worth Nolan Catholic. But they bounced back for a 41-39 victory.
SJCA will play a state tournament opponent to be determined at 5 p.m. Friday at Mansfield Summit.
After falling behind 8-0 in the first quarter, the Lady Patriots (27-5) went on a 19-8 run to take a 19-16 halftime lead. Lake Country led 30-27 after three quarters.
"For some reason, we were really, really nervous," SJCA coach Jeff Bearden said. "The first quarter is usually our best quarter. We came back out and really played good."
Alex Simms led SJCA with 10 points, while Geri Cox had nine. The Lady Patriots survived 20 points by Lake Country's Nicole Dornak.
San Jacinto 0 19 27 41
Lake Country 8 16 30 39
SJ - Alex Simms 10, Geri Cox 9. LC - Nicole Dornak 20, Lindsay Onllette 9. Record: San Jacinto 27-5.
Girls - Arbor Christian 50, DeSoto Canterbury Episcopal 35: A strong defensive effort helped the Lady Lions win the 2A regional and earn a state tournament berth.
The Lady Lions held Canterbury to 30 points below its season average.
"Our defense was incredible," Arbor coach Kyle Johnson said. "It was all about defense for us. Chelsea Roach and Lexie Gremillion held their top two scorers (Claire Metoyer and Kaitlyn Lucy) to less than half of their season average."
DeSoto Canterbury 8 15 17 35
Arbor Academy 12 24 34 50
CE-Mary Vaughn 12, Claire Metoyer 9, Kaitlyn Lucy 9; AA-Jennifer Lapp 14, Haley Hollis 8, Sydney Carson 8. Records: Cantebury 20-8, Arbor 20-5.
Girls - Ascension Academy 44, Wichita Falls Christian 30: The Lady Cardinals outscored Wichita Falls Christian 22-6 in the fourth quarter to earn a trip to the Class 1A state tournament.
Ascension (16-2) trailed 24-22 after three quarters, but Hannah Boren scored 11 of her 13 points in the fourth quarter.
"We played really tight the first three quarters, but once they (the Lady Cardinals) realized the game was on the line, they started playing the way they were capable of playing," Ascension coach Bill Hamilton said.
April Irving led the Lady Cardinals with 16 points, and Haley Boren scored 13.
Ascension will play a state tournament opponent to be determined at 3:30 p.m. Friday at Mansfield Summit.
Ascension Academy 10 20 22 44
Wichita Christian 9 16 24 30
AA - April Irving 16, Hannah Boren 13, Haley Boren 13. WC - Jordan Lee 14, Chelsea Studdard 11. Records: Ascension 16-2, Wichita Christian 16-6.
Boys - DeSoto Canterbury Episcopal 70, Arbor Christian 42: DeSoto Canterbury Episcopal, ranked No. 4 in the state in TAPPS Class 2A, broke open a close game by outscoring Arbor Christian 36-20 in the middle quarters of the regional final.
Arbor trailed by four points after one quarter and nine at halftime, but was outscored 18-7 in the third period to fall behind by 20 points.
Tyler Puschman scored 17 points to lead Arbor, which finished 15-9. Colton Collen added six.

Gary Johnson scored a career-high 22 points to lead No. 15 Texas to a 71-67 Big 12 Conference basketball victory against Texas Tech on Saturday at Lubbock's United Spirit Arena.
The Longhorns (21-6, 7-5 Big 12) led by 13 points in the second half, then held off a late surge by Nick Okorie, who scored 11 straight points for the Red Raiders (16-10, 4-8) to pull them within 69-67 with 58 seconds remaining. Okorie finished with 21.
J'Covan Brown made two free throws with four seconds remaining for Texas.
Knight said it was tough to pull close after Texas "jumped on" his team early.
"Our kids just didn't quit and battled all the way to the end," Tech coach Pat Knight said. "I kept telling them 'If you hang around, good things can happen.' We just need to take this type of effort and get a couple of guys going and just try to finish this next month out."
Damion James added 12 points and 10 rebounds for Texas, which had lost six of its previous nine games since moving to No. 1 for the first time in school history.
Jon Roberson, Tech's second-leading scorer, was held to two points.
Oklahoma State 82, No. 22 Baylor 75: At Stillwater, Okla., James Anderson matched his season high with 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the Cowboys' start to a four-game stretch against ranked teams.
Tweety Carter went 7-of-12 from 3-point range and scored 25 points for Baylor (20-6, 7-5), which had a three-game win streak snapped.
No. 24 Texas A&M 60, Iowa State 56: At Ames, Iowa, Donald Sloan scored 14 points in the Aggies' fifth victory in six games.
Khris Middleton added 12 points for A&M (19-7, 8-4 Big 12).
A&M let a 10-point lead dwindle to 54-53 before David Loubeau's inside basket gave the Aggies a 56-53 lead with 1:10 left.
Women - No. 15 Texas A&M 58, No. 12 Texas 44: At College Station, Sydney Carter scored 14 points, and Tanisha Smith added 13 as the Aggies snapped the Longhorns' six-game winning streak.
The Aggies were up by three before outscoring Texas 10-1 to push the lead to 53-41 with about one minute remaining.

Okay, let's get this straight right away -- this is some complicated business. Technically, THQ is not bankrupt, but they are in the process of selling off all of their assets including THQ's studios and the games they have in development. As part of this agreement, made with affiliates of the Clearlake Capital Group, THQ is required to file "voluntary petitions" under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. THQ is changing, but it is not going anywhere. This is good news.
Chairman and CEO of THQ Brian Farrell helped to clarify the current situation with the following statement:
"The sale and filing are necessary next steps to complete THQ's transformation and position the company for the future, as we remain confident in our existing pipeline of games, the strength of our studios and THQ's deep bench of talent. We are grateful to our outstanding team of employees, partners and suppliers who have worked with us through this transition. We are pleased to have attracted a strong financial partner for our business, and we hope to complete the sale swiftly to make the process as seamless as possible."
The "strong financial partner" that Farrell mentions is also described as a "stalking horse bidder" earlier in the press release. In other words, Clearlake Capital has made a bid of $60 million for THQ's assets, along with a $10 million note to help with company's creditors. This is a preemptive bid, ie, before THQ may have needed to or necessarily wanted to file Chapter 11, but the bid was so generous they've decided to pursue it. As part of the 363 sales process, other companies are now allowed to make competing bids.
In layman's terms, THQ is actually still on solid ground. The Clearlake Capital Group is essentially offering to rescue the company before THQ has to rely on drastic measures. THQ community manager Mathew Everett even heralds the announcement as good news:
"Hmmmm... good news :)"
"You guys and gals are crazy... I am still with THQ and looking forward to sharing info about Turtle Rock Studios next game."
Basically, THQ gets bought by investors with experience in technology and gaming, all of its studios get to continue making their games, and for the interim no one gets laid off in the process. In the long-term, who knows exactly what will happen. For now, congratulations THQ on doing what's best for your employees, your games, and your community.
Read the press release yourself and decide whether this is good news or bad.

A Winter Haven man told police he stabbed his mother to death because she had been "controlling his money for too long."
Officers found 36-year-old Micah Lee Hobbs sitting on the ground laughing several blocks from his house early Sunday morning. His grandmother called 911 minutes earlier after hearing the attack.
The Ledger of Lakeland reports 83-year-old Janie Hampton pushed Hobbs out of the house before finding her 57-year-old daughter Eva Hobbs in a pool of blood.
Police say an 11-inch kitchen knife was on the woman's body.
Police Chief Gary Hester said Hobbs has been "treated for some mental issues" in the past.

Rasch analysis: Estimation and tests with raschtest
Analyzing latent variables is becoming more and more important in several fields, such as clinical research, psychology, educational sciences, ecology, and epidemiology. The item response theory allows analyzing latent variables measured by questionnaires of items with binary or ordinal responses. The Rasch model is the best known model of this theory for binary responses. Although one can estimate the parameters of the Rasch model with the clogit or xtlogit com- mand (or with the unofficial gllamm command), these commands require special data preparation. The proposed raschtest command easily allows estimating the parameters of the Rasch model and fitting the resulting model. Copyright 2007 by StataCorp LP.

Windows 8 is rife with features and behaviors that conspire to perplex even the most experienced PC users. Not all of them are bad, per se, but few of them are immediately intuitive. Making matters worse, the OS was primarily designed for touch control, and as a result, many mouse and keyboard commands feel like tacked-on afterthoughts. But help is on the way. We've assembled a list of our favorite Windows 8 shortcuts, tricks, and workarounds. Many focus on making the most of the OS on a traditional desktop PC, so if you're interested in touch gestures, please check out our article that focuses directly on the Windows 8 touch experience.

450 Riot Points Awarded to Nice Summoners
Since early spring, we've been working with you through the Tribunal to identify those summoners who have had a negative impact on your play experience. For your efforts, and to celebrate the holiday season, we thought it was a good time to thank all those summoners who've made a point upholding the Summoner's Code this year. If you're over level 6 and haven't been banned from League of Legends in the past two months, you're in line to receive 450 Riot Points as a gift from the co-founders and all of us here at Riot Games in appreciation.
We've already begun the process of distributing these Riot Points to you, and elegibility of summoners was determined two days ago. But there are an awful lot of good sports out there in the community, so we estimate that everyone should have their Riot Points by December 28, 2011 at midnight. On behalf of all of us here at Riot Games, thank you for making League of Legends a part of your lives! (All weekend sales will be extended by one day, to accommodate the time it may take for all summoners to receive their RP.)
Additionally, this reward is the first step toward a new program that grants Riot Points to summoners as they progress through the game. While we're focusing this initiative primarily on new summoners, we wanted to ensure that we included everyone who's made a concerted effort to be a positive force in the League of Legends community before we got into full swing.
Also be sure to take a moment to view a special holiday message from Riot Games Co-Founders Marc 'Tryndamere' Merrill and Brandon 'Ryze' Beck. On behalf of all of us here at Riot Games thank you for making League of Legends part of your lives, and a for making it a great experience for all summoners the world over.
Happy Snowdown Showdown, summoners! We hope to see you all out there on the Fields of Justice in the New Year!

i have yet to get mine ._.
nice for them to randomly do this lol although i dont know if this is a lot since i dont really play....
I logged in today after getting home from the mall, and I was like, "Omg how did I get RP?" I was so happy, thank you Riot. 8) Can't wait to buy an Akali/Ahri skin!
well, i got rp on 2 accounts that i bought in the past 2 weeks
f u riot, i get rp anyway after u ban me 6 times huehue

text: Review Content Is not a toy for little kids Flying a helicopter is a dream come true,nice for relaxing times Worth the effort Overall, I really enjoyed this product. While it broke almost immediately, it was an easy fix and I was able to learn from my mistakes and fly better afterwards. It was easy to control once you got used to it and definitely a great gift. PERFECT SURPRISE I BOUGHT THIS AS A XMAS GIFT FOR MY BOYFIREND WHO LOVES REMOTE CONTROLLED HELICOPTERS, LOVES AVATAR AND IS A BIG KID AT HEART. I HAD PREVIOUSLY BOUGHT HIM A DIFFERENT ONE BUT AS SOON AS I SAW THIS I RETURNED THE OTHER ONE AND GOT THIS ONE INSTEAD BECAUSE I KNEW IT WOULD BE SOOO MUCH BETTER!! Flying High My first helicopter, ever. So Im just getting into the fun, so I can not compare it to other products of this type. There is a learning curve to at least adequate control. But lots of fun, also lots of open space is handy. Couple of hints take off from a higher friction surface i.e. low nap carpeting and figure out the trim controls. My only complaint is the instruction manual, it was written by someone who uses English as a third language. It did not address the use of the trim controls and was iffy to understand. But as starter helicopter its quite good. Neat little RC really neat little RC helicopter Fun to fly Gift to my Grandson. Lots of fun but takes some time to learn Seems to be very well built. Cool design. The 4 channels take some time to learn but it is lots of fun to fly. Awesome copter This is a powerful indoor helicopter and requires more room until it is trimmed out and you have practice flying. It is well made, has a pretty long battery life and fun to fly. good product Can not find the the place to order more blades. The blades will break during the "learning curve" of flying the helicopter. Loads of Fun It takes a little effort to learn how to control it. It is a little more complicated than a regular helicopter. A blade was damaged and it came with a replacement, but it does not give you a number or address to contact the manufacture so you can order more. Outstanding detail Only one issue. All of my copters (8) use the left stick for throttle and spin and right stick for forward/backword & yaw left/right. This hellis transmitter has the spin on right stick and yaw on left - big difference which can result in a huge cataclysmic disaster; especially after a few beers. WECAN should have give this helli a name, hello? Manual has good parts list but it doesnt tell you how/where to get them? 2x Hello?

Today, Hubster graduated with his Masters of Science. I couldn't be prouder. 🙂
He has worked so hard these past two years, all the while supporting C and me through so many ups and downs.
Ups and Downs…
I have to admit that today I was 98% happy and proud of Hubster and 2% jealous. When we started this adventure two years ago, we intended to graduate with our master's degrees together today. We survived through a horrendous first trimester of pregnancy for me, in which I suffered hyperemesis and lost both my job (graduate assistantship) and was forced to withdraw from school. We experienced the birth of our awesome son, whom I simply cannot imagine life without. We lived through two months of colic, followed by about four months of C's high needs. We handled my diagnosis of postpartum depression and the tumultuous period that followed. Now, we celebrate Hubster's success and look forward to the exciting next step for our family.

Eradicate the greed and lust for power
We are in a race against time
To keep our throats from being slit
Just for wanting to speak our minds
Persecute those whom which do not abide
Full on Marshall Law
Putrification of the population
We are our own worst enemy
The existence of man has hit its peak
We are upon the downfall
Follow orders to someone
Who considers you expendable
Lives are worth less than a dollar
Striving to create a perfect world
So end this fucking world

beardsley street in champaign
I must agree that any area around the bradley/beardsley/state streets is a very dangerous place. it is a cruising route for "donks", which leads to loud music 24/7, I always hear people yelling/fighting, police are always called around the area, drug deals, violence, noise, hookers, slum houses..it's all there. This area needs major help.
Right of way
That is total BS...pedestrians always get the right of way around here...especially so downtown or on campus. Maybe you are one of those people that are to busy listening to your ipod or texting, then realize that the light is going to turn, so you dart out to try to make it, eventhough you know the light will change when you are in the middle of the intersection...maybe that's why you are hiding your face in your pic
Neighborhoods to avoid
Overall, Champaign is relatively safe. However, there are a few areas to avoid. Bradley Avenue is one of those areas. An extremely low-income area, this entire avenue is full of prostitution, drugs, and crime. I've traveled through here numerous times at night and would not recommend it. If you are a female, you will likely be approached by some very sketchy characters. I've been asked to purchase drugs nearly every time I've come through here. Prostitution is rampant and visable, too. There isn't a reason to be walking through this area, but if you're driving, make sure to lock your doors and don't stop (even at a stop sign) if you see people lingering around the intersection. Most other areas of Champaign are relatively safe. I live in the core of downtown and see homeless people daily, but they're usually harmless and just ask for money. I've never had a serious problem. Downtown is the center of nightlife, so there are always a lot of people around to make the area feel safe. If you get approached by someone, don't stop walking!
Also, be careful about the parking situation. There are VERY few streets you can park on that are not reserved or metered. Most streets have reserved spots, but aren't clearly marked as such. Don't park here or you WILL be towed (especially aroudn downtown and on campus)!

Champaign Illinois Neighborhood
From Neil Street to Prospect in Champaign Illinois is a good area to avoid. This is a very dangerous neighborhood . The pizza places will not even deliver here as they have recently been beaten and robbed. ! This neighborhood is located in Champaign Illinois, home of the University of Illinois. Patrolled by Neighborhood Services but they are very inefficent at their job. This is the slum area of the town, located in the middle of the city of Champaign. The house that is pictured and located on Bradley is the street through town that many students have to travel when they go to Parkland College. Please avoid this area for your own safety. There is open prostitution, drinking on the streets and gunfire along with 2 known "dope houses." Pictured are some of the area's that are in this section of town.

Pedestrians Beware
The pedestrians are not given the right of way in the C-U area. Far from it. This is a marked difference from other parts of the country. So, even if a car is a block away, be careful when you step off the curb. They usually make little to no effort to arrest their speed as they get near, and only at the last minute will they brake. Be careful!
Bradley Area
I live in a duplex off of Randolph between University and Bradley Ave. I'm here for school at U of I. From the perspective of someone who actually lives in this neighborhood, it's not a "very dangerous" place to live as another post stated. It's definitely not as nice and well-kept as the other neighborhoods in the Champaign area. As a female, I don't feel like my life has been threatened. I've seen some open-alcohol consumption, but it's not an area rampant with violent crime or prostitution. My neighbors in this area seem to be blue-collar workers and other grad students at U of I. This neighborhood isn't for the faint of heart, but it isn't dangerous.
I think the physical appearance of the neighborhood is slowly changing. There's a beautiful public park and library nearby (just a block away). I'm also near downtown Champaign. I haven't visited downtown, but I hear there are nice cafes, bars, and restaurants.
Mercena & Bradley corridor
So some guy on here crawled around taking pictures of stick piles in people's yards to post here as a warning to all. I bet he was scared as *** while doing it too. That's a freaking riot, and I hope one day someone catches HIM on film doing it.
Yeah, the Bradley corridor is sort of blighted, but there's not really as much danger as you'd think. Most of the fear comes from small-town imaginations of big-city problems. And for crying out loud, don't change your driving route just to avoid it. If I lived there I'd stand on the corner too just to have a laugh at how freaked out some people get at the intersections.

I'm white, and I live in the oldest neighborhood in Champaign, which some people are characterizing as being dangerous and slum-like. I've never had any trouble getting food delivered here, and I order delivery far more often than I probably ought to.
I despise the lowlife who has been posting photos of homes belonging to people they'll never meet, knowing absolutely nothing about them. Yes, I have a couple of piles of sticks in my yard - you don't store firewood indoors, you know. When I bought my house, people kept telling that I should have bought a house somewhere else, because it's a Baaaad neighborhood. I lived in this area several times before I bought my house - so I knew exactly what it's like beforehand. You'll find many more crooks living in the overpriced neighborhoods at the other end of town than here. This is where the working class lives. We aren't all Better Homes & Gardens material, so what? My shed (formerly a very, very old garage/speed shop) is never locked, and I've never seen any evidence of anyone coming into my yard who shouldn't be there. In the '70s, as a skinny white kid, I would walk through the north end on Bradley, at night, and alone. Guess what happened? Nothing, other than me getting to my destination unmolested. The most dangerous neighborhood in Champaign-Urbana is actually between University Ave, Green St, Lincoln Ave, and First St. - Where students live, and ignore the safety advisories that the U of I police send out via email and text anytime someone gets mugged or assaulted. Students have been getting mugged on a more or less regular basis, their apartments broken into (especially during breaks), or run over by MTD buses and cars on campus.

Queb's Picks: Rayne faces biggest test of season at LaGrange
As league play heats up in District 4-4A, the most intriguing matchup tonight pits unbeaten Rayne against preseason favorite LaGrange in Lake Charles.
Don't let the records fool you, folks: 4-0 (Rayne) vs. 0-4 (LaGrange) doesn't necessarily mean this one will be a cakewalk for the Wolves.
In fact, if ever records were misleading, this is one of the cases.
When you consider the strength of schedule that LaGrange has (11th in Class 4A), it is easy to see why the Gators have a zero in the win column. With games against Notre Dame, Barbe, University High and Calvary Baptist, it would have been difficult for any team to walk out of that non-district slate unscathed, much less unbeaten.
On the other hand, Rayne, which currently sits in the No. 15 slot in the unofficial power ratings, has been putting up some impressive numbers both on the scoreboard and statistically.
Will LaGrange break its losing streak or will Rayne continue to steamroll the competition?
After seeing LaGrange in Week 1 against Notre Dame, I have to say I was more than impressed. The Gators are big and physical with a ton of athletes. Add in the fact that they played University to a 33-22 ballgame and there's no way I can go against the Gators. I have them taking a close one with a few second half scores.
Before heading into the other picks, here's a look at last week's contest:
Douglas J. LaCombe reigned supreme, missing just three games to win. Joe Lormand took home runnerup honors after edging out four other prognosticators with just four losses.
As for myself, I ended up missing eight games after over-thinking the bulk of the high school games.
Now for the other picks:
First off, I'm taking Notre Dame over Catholic of New Iberia.
First-year Catholic coach Brent Indest enjoyed some success against the Pios and coach Cook while he was at Crowley High, but he isn't at CHS and he certainly doesn't have the athletes he had when he coached the Gents. Plus, the Pios' defense is swarming and their offense is really hitting its stride. I've got Cook's club all day.
I'm also taking Crowley High over Opelousas in what should be a fairly easy one for the Gents. I'm also taking Church Point over North Vermilion and Kinder over Iota.
In other prep games I'm taking Acadiana over Barbe, Teurlings over Breaux Bridge, Patterson over Westlake, Rummel over Dutchtown and Mansfield over Richwood.
In the college ranks, I am taking: LSU over Mississippi State, Ohio State over Northwestern, Stanford over Washington, Vanderbilt over Missouri, Louisiana Lafayette over Texas State, Ole Miss over Auburn, Florida over Arkansas, Georgia over Tennessee, Virginia Tech over North Carolina and Michigan State over Iowa.

Years Ago in Germany
"In [Daniel Kehlmann's] first novel translated into English, the 31-year-old literary wunderkind's breezy, sometimes charming and ultimately inconsequential work follows the actual lives, careers and eventual intersection of two of Germany's brightest scientists: explorer, geographer and naturalist Alexander Von Humboldt and the astronomer and aptly crowned 'prince of mathematicians' Carl Friedrich Gauss."
"Breezy, sometimes charming and ultimately inconsequential"? Sounds 100 times deeper than Paris Hilton. Add it to my queue.

I was referred to Dr. Larussa after several attempts with my primary to find an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Larussa gave several options, weighing the pros and cons of the procedures and explaining why and how they were to be done. He suggested the less invasive procedures first, ultimately resulting in a total hysterectomy. Honestly, the whole process was exhausting but I felt very comfortable in the given situation. Dr. Larussa is very thorough and professional. I would highly recommend him and his practice
Dr. Larussa was not a good fit for me. Though he came highly recommended, I was bitterly disappointed with his lack of tact and care. I would certainly never suggest him for a woman struggling with the sadness of infertility. He may be a better fit for a typical patient, but considering my experiences with him...I'm not even sure about that.
You end up waiting forever in the waiting room, then he only spends 5 minutes with you for an annual exam. They schedule three patients at a time so they can get them in out out. Never going back to this practice.
Excellent. Caring. Compassionate.

THE FIGHTING and yelling on Brill Avenue in Berlin Borough, N.J., came to an end Monday night when a silent, razor-tipped arrow streaked through the darkness and hit its target.
Then the shrieking started.
Camden County authorities said that the arrow pierced Kereti Paulsen's stomach and perforated the iliac vein in his pelvis, and that he didn't make it out of the back yard. On the street of small, single-family homes wedged between the White Horse Pike and a concrete plant, a neighbor heard Paulsen, 25, lying near a driveway and crying out for help. He was pronounced dead at Virtua Hospital in Berlin shortly after.

Dr Bontreger is a very compassionate doctor. She takes time to listen and checks with previous records to make sure that issues are being addressed. Would highly recommend her for elderly ladies.
worst dr. I've ever seen. trained chimps could have run the office better
I am sorry you feel this way. Unfortunately, this review comes from a person that has a past due balance and was sent to collections.
I am so blessed to have found Dr. Bontreger who is a very caring doctor. I also appreciate her friendly and professional office staff. If you want an excellent doctor, call for an appointment.
She is so kind, knowledgeable, up to date with treatments, knows her meds. And guess what? She actually listens!!! Her office is spotless and the office staff has a great attitude and very kind as well. Yes, I recommend Dr. B.
Very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Bontreger. She took the time to listen, which is rare in this day in age. She has an excellent bedside manner and knows what she is doing. I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr B is great; explains everything clearly and is always willings to talk to me. I also really like her assistant, John. Both are wonderful.
I can't say enough in praise of Dr. Bontreger! In my 50 years I've only met one other doctor whose bedside manner ranked anywhere close to that of Dr. Bontreger. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and make sure I understood what was transpiring with my treatment. Dr. Bontreger also demonstrated what I felt was an impressive ability for remembering personal details about myself which I had shared with her during my visits. The expression of her genuine concern for my well being was obvious and greatly appreciated. Dr. Bontreger did not talk down to me as many doctors seem to exhibit the penchant for doing. Dr. Bontreger was patient and kind, and never seemed in a rush to see me and get me out the door. Any patient would be lucky to have Dr. Bontreger as their treating physician.

It's a top-down vehicular combat game that was mainly given out for free as an incentive to subscribe to PS+ for some that got that offer in their email. Being free for me, it was an okay game at best. The only positive thing I can say is that it has an okay single-player challenge mode and the MP was completely dead at launch, so I'd suggest avoiding it unless you have money to burn for no reason.
meh, I think I'll skip then and get De Blob 2 or Stacking instead, thanks for the heads up

Bieber reminds us that he still makes music
Justin Bieber, 19, has had a problematic PR year, to say the least, with damning headlines practically on a weekly basis. Bieber abandoned his monkey in Germany! Bieber allegedly visited a brothel in Brazil! Bieber urinated in a restaurant mop bucket and cussed out a picture of Bill Clinton!
But he's trying to end his year reminding people he's actually a musician with an iTunes exclusive album, "Journals." Released Monday and reportedly only available as a bundle of songs for two weeks, "Journals" features 10 songs that were previously released on a weekly basis starting in October as part of his recent Music Monday series, plus five brand new tunes. »Read Full Article(11)
