Log in to remove this advertisement
I present to the RP community what might be a first - a fanwork of a fanwork. This RP isn't intended to be very serious - it has a storyline, yes, but I don't plan on basing it upon seriousness. If anything needs to be changed, HL or PW, let me know.
The rules are stated in the forumwide guidelines, but I have a few personally-enforced rules that I would like to impose...
1. No spam.
2. No flame.
3. SEVEN-LINE RULE. I don't want this RP to be closed.
Also, in order to join this RP, you need to have watched the series to Episode 100. That way, we have only experienced RvB fans joining in. There will be two OC's; mine, and Kushluk Shimazu's(he's already agreed to join). As for the rest of you, each person can control two RvB characters, with the exception of Kush and I(we'll get one RvB character). Two characters each will lower how many members we have and thus lower the page clutter.
In order to join, PM me which characters you want and I'll consider it. Kush and I will be the only ones needing character sheets by default, but others can use one if they want. Just PM me and ask.
Let the games begin.

OOC: I know you probably went over this line Sve but I'll say as well. We don't own anything but are willing to make this thread as we liked RvB immensely and would want to see the comedy (or mayhem if you will) continue. Just think of us as RvB Fans just trying to have our own degree of laughs, things blowing up, and Caboose killing Church more ... Anyways on to the chaos!!!!
Character Profile (I made this up myself, you don't have to have something like this but we would prefer something along the lines)
Name: Kushluk Von Shimazu
Preferd Name: Kush for short
Hometown: "No - where" Texas
Rank: Specialist
Allegiance: Blue
Armor: Green
Starting Weapon: Plasma Rifle
Occupation: Technican
Background: A computer geek from Texas, Kush grew up from five years old wanting to join the military not for money, not for the excitement, not for the killing, but solely to leave home and get away from his drill sergeant of a father. A professional in all ways that include computers, machines, but surprising very little in mechanical work. However he is looking to expand his knowledge in that department.
Personality: Easy-going to just about everyone but likes talking to women because he just does. For some reason they say he is a good listener and he seems to enjoy listening to them than guys unless they have a gun pointed at him then they have his full attention. Sarcastic to boot and always looking for something to do other than stand around doing nothing, even he has to go it alone. Never likes to start fights but won't hesitate to do what he has to in order to live.
Likes: Roaming, Listening
Dislikes: Authority, Heights
Qoute: "If we all can't get along can we at least agree to shut up?" - From Neo CLNobles.
Church was enjoying his promotion to the rank of Corporal but had pretty much just let the Blues keep things the way they have been. Having gotten his rank and still in command of possible the worst team ever, after Tex dying he so no need to change anything. Really though that didn't bother him as much anymore. The Reds sucked when it came to doing anything that even resemble a attack on the Blues thankfully so it didn't matter how bad his team was as things would work out somehow in the end.
Tucker had long since gotten over his kid being killed, saying that he knew his kid was alive saying as always that the aliens treat life and death in a very different way than the rest of humanity did. He still is trying to get lucky with Sister but every time he gets close the lemon-head from the Reds comes over and does a little number on poor tucker and then he has to start over again with Sister.
Sister had seemed to gotten along very well with Caboose and Doc when he stops by every now and then. She is often found with her mouth yapping every two seconds to either one who either don't know what she is talking about or ignore her as best as he can. She plays many sports with Caboose to pass time.
Caboose still misses Sheila and Tex but goes on and likes having alot of fun with Sister in anything she can come up with ... even if she talks to him for hours on end he likes that someone thinks him nice to talk to even if he doesn't understand anything Sister might say. Church himself was just glad that the tank and anything nearby wasn't around anymore to make him explode but Caboose he had to keep an eye on fearing another repeat of the first time he had the tank.
Right now Church and Caboose where on watch on top of blue base just keeping watch as always.
Church : Caboose how can you stand Sister talking to you all the time?
Caboose : She just thinks that I am a special person. And as special person I must listen to whatever she has to say.
Church : So your saying that for the last few weeks she has been around you and talking to you that you listen to anything and everything she says.
Caboose : Of course Church. That is what a special person should do ... even if she talks about only herself, other special people and things I do not understand. Also she is a very good bad - kitten person to play with.
Church: Well as long as you keep her away from me and ... wait that isn't supposed to be bad - "kitten". It's bad - "mitten" Caboose.
Caboose: Church I am sure I would not make a mistake like ....... ohhhh look there Church!!
*Caboose points at a fiery object that comes scorching over the canyon and smacks into the cliff on the side of the wall in a enormous explosion. Soon everyone in Blue Base is on top of the base looking at the black thing that is still embedded into the cliff*
Caboose: A falling star ... quick make a wish everyone. I want to be a cowboy.
Sister: Wow I want to have like the coolest purse out of anyone in the world.
Tucker: I think I'll go with having another girl. I am fine with that.
Church: I can't believe how ... just forget it. I am going to have a look. Caboose your coming with me. Everyone else just stay here and if we start screaming in pain come running with the calvary.
Caboose: Yay! Church picked me over Tucker. That makes me a very special person.
Church: No it doesn't Caboose. I just don't want you to come helping us because that still seems to get me killed even with ... Nevermind come on Caboose.
*Church and Caboose jump off of Blue base and head for the rocky side of canyon leaving Sister and Tucker alone to guard the base.*
His mission was simply, deliver a message to the recently promoted Blue Leader in Blood Gulch. Afterwards he was to assist the war effort as best he could. Graduating Basic at the top of his class Kushluk Shimazu was selected to try a new mode of transportation that would get him to Blood Gulch from Blue Command in no time.
Frankly Kushluk though just out of Basic already found out he was really going to hate Command with all his being. The Human Entry Vehicle which Command literally "stuffed" him into had barely enough room to breath. Once the green armored figure was strapped in securely the life pod was ejected out of Blue Command. Through the cosmos the tiny pod was sent to Blood Gulch at speeds that defied anything that normal physics could explain.
Inside the capsule Kush was screaming for all he was worth as the G-forces rose the temperature in the pod to unbearable levels. His armor felt like a furnace and he thought his brain was going to cook like an egg left out in the desert under a summer sun.
Just when Kush thought he was really going to die in the middle of nowhere the capsule seem to shake like a earthquake and the green armored soldier felt like his arms where going to be torn off by the straps and harnesses. Soon the pod finally slammed into something sending the hatch to the pod exploding outwards. For a minute or two Kushluk was till out of it trying to get back his bearings only to find the pod embedded into the side of a light brown cliff.
Kush: Wha .... Am I here?
Lookind down through the open hole in the pod all Kush could see was a shear drop of over fifty feet amidst some rocks. The height alone was enough to make Kush say while shaking.
Kush: Okay the hatch can close now ..... I get it that I am very high up ..... Heights ... I hate heights.
So the now black life-pod was stuck on a cliff above some boulders with Kushluk hoping the straps would hold his now quivering figure.
EDIT: Just had to fix some minor typos as always XD

Whilst the chaos ensued on the Blue side of Blood Gulch, the Reds were having a 'meeting' - in other words, the three Privates(or Pfc. in Simmons' case) standing at attention while Sarge, in his typical gruff manner, explained a recent developement.
"Listen up, ladies," The Staff Sergeant began. "We're getting reinforcements. Command shipped a new recruit this way a few days ago..."
"Great. A rookie." Grif sighed.
"Shut up, scumbag." Sarge growled, still hating Grif as always. It suddenly came to his attention that Donut was looking over his shoulder at the Blue Base. "Pay attention, Princess Peach."
"Um, am I the only one who sees a big smoking black thing dangerously close to their base?" The pink soldier wondered.
"Smoking black...?" Sarge strode to the side of the base and looked for himself. Sure enough, there was a smoking black thing dangerously close to the Blue Base. "Well, lookit that. Hope it's a deadly poisonous meteor and gives 'em a hellishly painful death!"
However, that wasn't the only out-of-normal thing that would make itself apparent. Approaching from above the mountains was a D77-TC Pelican dropship, heading in the direction of Red Base.
"Ladies! Front and center!" Sarge barked.
"We're already here, Sarge..." Grif sighed again.
"Whoever this recruit is, I hope he hates Grif," Sarge growled to himself. The Reds watched as the dropship landed a good hundred feet from the base and a ramp extended. From the entrance behind it appeared a figure clad in orange armor - not orange like Grif's armor, but orange like, well, the fruit.
Whilst the Reds watched, the orange-clad arrival took a look at his new base. He saw four soldiers atop it, each clad in a different variant of red armor. The arrival smiled to himself - this stalemate would last nary a month longer.

OOC: Just so we are all clear I am only using Church and Kush. Caboose is there for obvious reasons and is still up for grabs if anyone wants him. Granted if you know how to use him of course
Chruch and Caboose made their way to the rocky side of the canyon looking at the black smoldering star Caboose was so excited about.
Caboose : Also we would have a pirate ship with a pirate crew. We can go looking for buried treasure and I would be captain, you would be my favorite sidekick and Tucker would be the villain and we can save the princess And we will have fun and we will have orange juice.
Church: Well I think you have just given me the most ridiculous scenario I needed to think of as well as a massive headache. Though I would much rather have a headache over a tankshell.
Caboose: I miss Shelia now for some reason. Hey look Church I got my wish!! I got my wish!!
He was referring to the dropship that soared overhead toward Red Base. Using the Sniper rifle Church looked through the scope seeing another orange armored figure walk out of the dropship and started heading toward the red Base.
Church: Ahhh shit. Caboose we are in trouble. They have another soldier on their side.
Caboose: Maybe it's Sister's Sister.
Church: You got to be kidding me. I don't think that orange guy from red Base has that many sisters and we are not that lucky Caboose.
Caboose: You need to start looking on the bright side of things sidekick.
Church: What the *bleep* did you just call me Caboose? I am in command here and I am most definitely not your sidekick nor would I ever be.
Caboose: Maybe I should let you think about and then maybe you will like the idea.
Church: Not in a thousand years. Believe me as I have lived that long and that will never happen. Now lets find out what's in that black thing.
Caboose: I hope the star has some orange juice. Doc promised me some but never gave me any. Maybe he doesn't like me. He tricked me ... that was not very nice of the horrible doctor.
Church: I that whatever it is it has something to deal with that new guy the Reds have.
He was struggling to get his weapons and gear out of the pod when he saw a light blue soldier and a blue solider right underneath of him. Moving very slowly he attached all Kush thought he would need to armor only at the last second having the harness that held his body in the pod start to snap from his weight.
Kushluk: Okay I know my luck is bad but seriously. Why me?
Then the harness snapped sending Kush out of the pod with him failing his arms as if he was trying to fly. That did little to avail him and the people below only got closer, in the last few seconds before impact Kush closed his eyes.
Caboose: Look it's the star!!
Church: Huh??
*looks up only to have a green thing come crashing down on him. Kushluk opened his eyes*
Kush: What the? I'm not dead.
Church: Owwww ... someone get this thing off me.
Kush: Huh?
Caboose: Ohh Ohh do I get my orange juice now?
Kush: Uhhhh what the hell are you talking about
Church: Excuse me .... But Get the Hell Off of My Body!!!
Kush: Ohh Snap!
*jumps off*
Church: Took you long enough.
Kush: Why didn't you said I landed on you?
Church: I Did!!
Kush: Well you weren't loud enough.
Church: Who the hell are you anyway?
Kush: Well that depends who's asking.
Church: Yea right like I'm going to fall for that.
Caboose: My name is Caboose and this his horrible meanness Church. We are Blue Team and those over there are the Red Team.
Church: Way to go dumbass. You are without a doubt the most stupidest person alive. You just went ahead and told him both our names you realize.
Caboose: So does that mean you know everyone alive? That must be alot of people.
Church: No Caboose just enough to know that your .... anyways who are you?
Kush: Well since your Corporal Church then I can tell you my name. It's Kushluk Shimazu ad I guess I am on your side.
Caboose: Kuuuuu chiii shimmmm a zoo?
Kush: What the hell is your malfunction? I know it's a unique name but how dumb can you be?
Church: Trust me I have known him for almost three months and I still don't know the limits that Caboose can break.

Sep 9, 07 at 4:04am ^re: Red vs. Blue: The Neverending Story(M, PM, Accepting)
Full Name: Adrian Thomas Denley
Age: 25
Rank: Lieutenant
Allegiance: Red
Armor Color: True Orange
Personality: Generally formal and arrogant, but seems to be perfectly willing to drop the formality if he's irritated enough. He was quite displeased at the fact he had been stationed at Blood Gulch with such idiots.
Background: Adrian was born to a wealthy family in Boston, and hence grew up privileged. INCREDIBLY privileged. Nine-point-ninety-nine times out of ten, he got what he wanted. Unlike so many others to join the army, Adrian Denley was incredibly intelligent. His grades in school – elementary through college – were astounding. Except for foreign languages, to which Denley was, admittedly, foreign. With this intelligence came an astounding ability to brag. He was proud of his mind and wasn't afraid to speak out on that pride. Upon graduation of college, Denley heard of the civil war between Red and Blue. Denley, being the 'royalist' as some would call him, chose to join the Red team, that particular color being the color of victory. Due to his many brilliant performances and strategies, Denley quickly rose to the rank of Lieutenant. Command, seeing his ability in strategy, decided to ship him to Blood Gulch to see if he could end the stalemate and win the battle for the Reds
Preferred Weapon: Pistol
Other: 1. Due to always having a chauffeur for transportation purposes, Denley never learned the difference between a stick-shift and an actual stick. In short, he cannot drive; 2. His voice has some subtle-yet-noticeable traces of an English accent.
The orange-armored new guy stood before Sarge, who was explaining his way of 'leading' the team, obviously unknowing that this new arrival had yet to inform him of something important.
"...and Grif-hating gets you double points." Sarge finished his lengthy speech, before adding, "And one more thing, all ass-kissing must be done before 8:00 PM."
The arrival nodded and spoke for the first time.
"Right..." He started. His voice had a noticable hint of an English accent.. "It might be good of me to mention that I forgot to state my name and rank..."
"Name and...?" He was cut off as the arrival began.
"Adrian Thomas Denley, Red Army for seven years; promoted to Corporal and then to Sergeant in my first year, then to First Lieutenant in my second."
"Huh, Denley..." It suddenly hit him that Denley's rank sounded slightly...strange. "Wait, did you say...First Lieutenant?"
"That's right, Sergeant; I outrank you." Denley smirked. "Command told me about you. Notably about your sociopathic tendencies...and your innefectuality at leadership."
"What did you say to me?!"
"Ah," Denley warned. "First Lieutenant. If you desire to keep your rank, you won't be so quick to anger. Now, where were we? Oh, yes...Command told me that the Red stalemate in Blood Gulch was due almost in full to your shoddy leadership, Sergeant. Today, however, is when that changes. Command didn't make me a Lieutenant because they were bored. No, I am reknowned as one of the best strategists in the Red Army. Command, clearly, took note of this and made one of their few clear decisions; they sent me here to end this stall that has taken place. Under my leadership, victory will be ours...under my leadership, the literal meaning of 'organized offensive' will be reinstated..."
"...are two officers going to hate me now?" Grif suddenly inquired.
"That depends. I suppose we'll see as time goes on..."

On top of Blue base Church described the situation to the now reinforced unit "Now since we have no idea what kind of new guy the Reds have we are all just going to assume that it's another jackass like the tomato can guy and really will not be that much of a threat. Thus we will be doing the same thing as we have always done." Tucker then threw in "Which is of course do nothing."
Church then replied "Exactly. Now just to get it over with we have a new rookie on our team. I would introduce you myself but personally I just don't want to say that name anymore." The new arrival then coughed to clear his throat before saying "Specialist Kushluk Von Shimazu of the Blue Forces. But for that's Kush for short. My profession is anything electronic." for a moment no one spoke. Sister then seemed to screech "OH My God!! Your name is Kuchy? As in Kuchy Kuchy Goo?"
The rookie sighed "I try not to hurt women ... at all. But anyone that makes fun of my name will regret it." Tucker seemed to take offense to that "What the *bleep* does that mean?" Caboose then jumped in as always "You didn't tell me that you where a "Special" Rank Mister Kush." The green armored rookie couldn't believe how stupid the guy was "I am not even going to go there with you. From the way you have acted in the last five minutes you would just give me a stroke trying to explain everything." Caboose replied with his head held low "But at least you would like me as I listen very well ... even though I forget sometimes."
Tucker then cut in "Anyways don't go around threatening people like that Sarge guy would. And yes we think your name is dumb." Kush then turned to Tucker "Fine then, you're just going to have to live with the consequences. Don't blame me if you find yourself without any help when you need it." Tucker then moved on "Church, let me get this straight. We have a new guy and the Reds have a new guy and that's it? Whoopity *bleep*ity Do. Can't we just go back to doing nothing as you said?"
Church thought about for a moment and then decided "No Tucker unfortunately not. Now that I think about it while I would like to just kick back like always we need to find out about that new guy on the Red Team. Because we will be royally screwed if itturns out to be a freelancer like Tex or a some maniac like O'Malley." Caboose then got a little teary eyed "Ohh Tex. Why did you have to go?" Church ignored his wailing and went on "To get back on topic, Kush I want you to go on a recon. Since the Red's don't know you might get lucky and get some info on the new guy. Also Sis is going with you, the lemon - head on their team is her brother so that might help you out ... or not. Just get some damn information on the new guy."
Kush sarcasticlay complied "Well do ... Come on Sister." The yellow armored lady might of been rolling her eyes when she said "Yea Whatever. I don't want to go with this nerd. He isn't my type." Kush retorted "And you're definitely not my type either. Big *bleep*ing surprise. Let's just get this over with." Sis then walked off toward the dark side of the canyon from Blue Base without him leaving Kush to wonder "Just what kind of crap did I wander into?" then he went off to catch up to the dumb blonde ... literally.

The U.S. economy is at "half-time" with a way to go before distress disappears, U.S. Bank Chairman Richard K. Davis told a real estate conference Friday.
Speaking to the 16th annual roundup sponsored by the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate, Davis likened the economy to a locker room between halves, where players are "positioning to win."
"One thing about halftime is you have hindsight," he told the 700 attendees at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. "You can use that to create insight and you can go to the next step."
He recommend preparing a three-year plan and setting goals.
"Because if you know your goals, you can adjust yourself and start moving that way," he said. "It matters today because if you start on that path this day to the future, that future is very, very soon."
He praised San Diego as a place to live and do business -- "San Diego in my mind has got this amazing place that almost anyone else in the world would want to call home."
Then he borrowed the city's ever-boastful moniker, said it could be "the finest city in the recovery."
Other speakers focused on the immediate outlook for residential and commercial development over the next few years. They predicted housing prices would bottom out after a six-year slide and vacancies would drop in apartments and office space, leading to rising rents and new construction.
Highlights of the other presentations included:
(See accompanying Power Point presentations at the Burnham-Moores website.).
"It's an incredible time to be a homeowner looking in the market to buy a home. Mortgage rates are at a 60-year low, house prices are down from their peaks substantially, 30-40 percent off the peak of five or six years ago. So in terms of affordability, my gosh, it doesn't get any better than this."-- Frank Nofthat, chief economist at Freddie Mac:
But he said San Diego, which relatively better off than many parts of the nation, still labors under above-average prices and bigger inventories of vacant homes for sale.
The "bright spot" here and elsewhere will be apartment construction, which he said nationally is likely to reach its pre-recession levels. Monthly rents will be up, but not much more than the inflation rate.
Distress in the for-sale market will continue at an "extraordinarily elevated" level and thus keep new-housing development low some period to come.
"San Diego in my mind has got this amazing place that almost anyone else in the world would want to call home." --Richard Davis, chairman, president and CEO of U.S. Bank
He said the economy is at the equivalent of half-time -- "we'll be in this for a while" -- but he urged the 700 attendees to borrow the "Be Prepared" motto from the Boy Scouts and to count themselves as survivors after the worst downturn since the 1930s.
"I can tell you how, like other cycles, commercial was the last in and will be the last out of the problem because of the lagging indicators of people who services," he said. But he said commercial real estate is looking up and therefore stands as indicator that good times are ahead.
"Therefore, when you say things are better, it must be better," he said.
"We will lease the last full floor in UTC (Saturday) and there's nothing else. Kilroy (Realty Corp.) and Irvine are moving down the road in the next six to 12 months on breaking ground on some fairly significant developments, which is exciting for this area." --John B. Turner, regional vice president for San Diego for the Irvine Co.
He said new construction will become feasible at a monthly rental rate of $2.50 for low-rise and $3.75 for high-rises. "Almost every day that goes by, I am more and more convinced those are absolutely achievable rents," even though current rents in the best buildings remain below those levels.
As for users, Turner said San Diego should focus on existing small companies rather than trying to lure outsiders to move in: "We need to be good stewards of those (home-grown) companies," particularly high-tech firms. "Without those people producing things, we don't have a job. We need tech companies taking more space and providing jobs for law firms, accounting firms and companies like us."
"It's about vision, being prepared. The idea is to do what the community needs and how best to develop." - Steve Scott, Kilroy Realty's senior vice president for San Diego
He offered as an example his company's One Paseo mixed-use project in Carmel Valley, which will include 270,000 square feet of retail, 600 housing units, 500,000 square feet of offices and a 150-room hotel. "It truly will be an amazing project and a true community asset when it comes online," he said. That is likely in the 2014-15 time period.
"San Diego is going great, Orange County, which you would have thought was imploding because of the subprime (mortgage market), had a great year." - Steve Silk, Eastdil senior managing director in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is "dead" but Northern California is "on fire," he said. Otherwise, investors are bypassing all noncoastal markets.
"The big surprise to us last year was the opportunity in multifamily. We did 50 percent of all new lending in multifamily last year."--Sam Davis, senior vice president at Allstate Investments in Chicago
But he said he is worried about overbuilding and now looking at grocery-anchored retail centers and office buildings.
"If we look nationally and talk to many borrowers around the country," he said, "it is an extraordinary environment of multifamily developments that people would like to get off the ground. I think on a submarket-to-submarket basis aroudn the country, you've go tto keep an eye on which markets will be overbuit. Multifamily development is going to just heat up a while. We're watching that closely."

As we near the end of the regular season schedule for the NBA, the discussion of who should receive which hardware begins to heat up.
Despite exceptional performances by several coaches this season, there are only two serious candidates for NBA Coach of the Year: Gregg Popovich and Tom Thibodeau.
Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs has turned around a team which was declared well past their prime to the best record in the league at 54-13.
Thibodeau has guided the Chicago Bulls to a surprising 48-18 record to lead the Eastern Conference over the Boston Celtics.
Both coaches are doing a remarkable job this season, but only one can be named coach of the year.
Here are the ten reasons Tom Thibodeau, not Gregg Popovich, deserves NBA Coach of the Year.

Children of Alcoholics Awareness Week
Join the national – and international – awareness campaign to break the painful silence and offer hope to the vulnerable children and teenagers impacted by parents who are struggling with addiction. By "shining brightly" in the lives of these children, caring adults can help by listening, by believing in the child, and by modeling healthy behaviors and demonstrating options for healthy living. Because it is hard to know which children are impacted at times, like a star in the darkness an adult can stand as a beckon for children who may be suffering silently and alone, in the darkness of fear. NACoA invites you, or your organization, to recognize COA Awareness Week, and "become the star in the life of a child."

New Cars Are Becoming Mobile WiFi Hotspots
After Slow Start, Cars and Apps Makers Improve Software, Communications Links
The long-promised demolition of the barriers that separate drivers from the information and entertainment available through smartphone apps is finally shifting into high gear.
Driven by consumer gripes—and by visions of new streams of revenue—auto makers and major players in the smartphone and apps industry dug into their software and hardware to remove a variety of obstacles to smooth integration of vehicle displays and the output from apps.
Now, a wave of new models hitting showrooms have dashboard electronics designed to make it dramatically easier to access smartphone apps that could provide real-time traffic maps, parking access and weather reports on the road.
"This year is a tipping point," said Thilo Koslowski, a Gartner Inc. IT 0.43 % analyst who follows in-car technology. "There has been a lot of talk about apps in cars, but from 2014 forward, the revolution really happens."
General Motors Co. GM 1.25 % has started embedding Pandora, a music-streaming app, into the dashboards of most Chevrolets, Buicks and Cadillacs. Honda Motor Co. puts Aha Radio in its cars. Buy a 2014 Mercedes-Benz, and you'll find the TuneIn radio app built in the dash, giving the car access to radio broadcasts from around the world via your smartphone. Next year GM and Audi NSU 0.18 % will roll out models with their own 4G high-speed Internet connections, so drivers won't even need smartphones at all.
BMW AG BMW 1.51 % is working on setting up an app store, modeled on Apple Inc. AAPL 0.70 % 's iTunes, to deliver automotive apps to its owners. The store is expected to launch in Europe later this year and in the U.S. in 2015.
For the car makers, electronics and communications capabilities are becoming key selling features, and for many buyers, especially the coveted younger consumers and first-time car buyers, they're more important than horsepower or handling. "This is a big transition in the industry in the digital context" said Mathias Haller, chief architect of infotainment systems at Audi.
Car makers can't afford to fall behind or take a wrong turn on dashboard technology. Ford Motor Co. F 1.16 % was an early leader with its Sync system, but later, more complex versions have proved buggy and frustrating to customers, and have hurt the company's standing in quality surveys.
Call it Carapps 2.0. For the past few years, new cars have had the technology—USB ports, microphones, Bluetooth—enabling drivers to make hands-free phone calls. And in some models it is possible to listen to podcasts or stream music from a smartphone. But the first generation of these interfaces were often clunky, distracting and potentially dangerous. Frustrated by confusing voice commands, drivers were forced to pick up their phones—and hope their thumb taps the right icon or swipes the screen the right way to select a song, look up an address, or enter a destination.
That won't be the case soon. Last month at the New York International Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz demonstrated a car equipped with an early version of an infotainment system that uses Apple's iOS extension for automobiles, CarPlay. It has the same look and feel as an iPhone—the icons that appear on the car's display are the same as the iPhone's icons.
"If the driver has less to learn, then it makes it more safe," said Kal Mos, Mercedes's director of connected infotainment. Mr. Mos said the system could start appearing in Mercedes vehicles by year end.
Christine Bickley, a computer professional in Riverdale, N.J., found that out recently when she drove home in a loaded 2014 Kia Forte. Its UVO infotainment syncs up with her Samsung Galaxy phone automatically, and then lets her stream music into the car from an app—she uses Spotify—all without ever taking her hands off the wheel or eyes from the road.
WSJD is the Journal's home for tech news, analysis and product reviews.
"It is so cool. It connects with Bluetooth when I get in the car. There's a button on the steering wheel so I can change playlists. I never touch the phone—it stays in my purse," said Ms. Bickley. The information about the artist, song and playlist that is usually found on the phone's screen appears for her on the car's display.
"When I got the car," Ms. Bickley said, "I called a friend and was like, you have to see this."
The mobile technology providers and car makers remain wary of each other, but they also have a lot to gain if they can win over more consumers such as Ms. Bickley.
"It is an absolute arms race to put [smartphone technology] into every car," said Kanwalinder Singh, senior vice president of business development at Qualcomm Inc., whose semiconductor chips are key components of smartphones and increasingly are turning up in automobiles. About 100 million cars sold each year world-wide, and right now only about 10% have some kind of built-in communications system, he says.
Safety experts are hoping new dashboard electronics that work more easily with smartphones eventually will lessen driver distraction. Adrian Lund, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, said early studies suggest that the distraction problem at least isn't getting worse. While there are more things drivers can do with smartphones, it is becoming easier for them to do these things without taking their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel.
"It looks like drivers are no more distracted by all this technology than they were before," Mr. Lund said.
Apps for streaming music and navigation are only the start of what people will soon be able to do in their cars. Ford has shown its infotainment system running an app that places orders at the nearest Domino's Pizza outlet. Recently, auto makers have started allowing software developers to draw data from the car itself, like fuel economy. Developers imagine creating apps that track detailed gas mileage for every trip a car makes, or even lets groups of friends or family members view each other's results to see who drives most efficiently.
"Everything that has been showing up in smartphones is going to show up in cars," said Bryan Trussel, founder of Glympse, which makes an app that lets people track the location of friends they are meeting. BMW and other auto makers started embedding Glympse into new cars this year.

In 1947, WTMJ-TV became the first commercial television station in Wisconsin and the 15th nationally to broadcast commercially, according to "Milwaukee Television History: The Analog Years," by Dick Golembiewski. But it did not begin life at the now familiar Channel 4 dial location.

Arcadia's local history books rise and fall on the merits of their photos. Happily, the photos in "Milwaukee County Zoo," obtained from both zoo and external sources, feature some of the zoo's most notable characters, including Samson the gorilla, Sultana the polar bear and Chandar the white tiger.

'Maleficent' Sets Release Date as 'The Dictator' Gets Pushed Back
Angelina Jolie's Sleeping Beauty retelling "Maleficent" finally gets a U.S. release date. Walt Disney Pictures has announced that the Robert Stromberg directorial debut is set to arrive in theaters nationwide on March 14, 2014.
"Maleficent" will reveal the origin of the titular antagonistic queen and what led her to curse Princess Aurora in the fabled 1959 Disney fairytale. Providing the script is Linda Woolverton, who also penned the screenplay for 1994's "The Lion King".
While "Maleficent" has just set its official release date, Paramount Pictures' comedy movie "The Dictator" gets a last-minute shuffling as it is now pushed back from its original May 11 release to May 16 this year.
The sudden decision was made presumably to avoid the Sacha Baron Cohen-starring film from clashing with Johnny Depp's "Dark Shadows". With the new date, the comedy is now set to open wide two days before Universal Pictures' sci-fi movie, "Battleship".
Other movies which have been pushed back from their original release dates were Ben Affleck's "Argo" and Gavin Hood's "Ender's Game". Warner Bros. Pictures relocated Affleck's espionage thriller from September 14 to October 12, the date which was previously occupied by Ruben Fleischer's star-studded crime drama, "The Gangster Squad".
With the new release schedule, "Argo", which tells the story about the rescue of six American diplomats during the 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis, is now placed in the heart of awards season. On the other hand, "Gangster Squad" still hasn't announced its new opening date.
As for "Ender's Game", the novel-adapted sci-fi movie will arrive in cinemas later than originally planned. Summit Entertainment rescheduled the film to open on November 1, 2013, instead of the previously announced date of March 15 the same year.
Currently shooting in Louisiana, "Ender's Game" follows a young boy who is recruited by the International Fleet to defeat an alien Formic race. The film stars Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Harrison Ford, Viola Davis, Abigail Breslin and Hailee Steinfeld.

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article

World's Stage Theatre stages disturbing 'Phaedra's Love'
In the first scene of "Phaedra's Love" — the Sarah Kane play being staged by The World's Stage Theatre Company, under Leda Hoffmann's direction — a slovenly man is eating junk food while watching TV in the dark. Excited by on-screen violence, he unzips his pants and masturbates into a sock.
And that's just for starters. In the ensuing hour, we'll witness two sex acts, a brutal rape, a strangulation and disembowelment, two murders, an immolation of a woman who killed herself offstage and an on-stage suicide. »Read Full Article

Assistance to political parties has, traditionally, been a small part of international efforts to support democracy and governance. Many have been weary of working directly with political parties out of fear of being perceived as interfering in domestic politics. Yet there is an increasing acknowledgement that the health of any democracy is often linked to the state of its political parties. Political parties often form the missing link in democracy assistance as they allow large groups of citizens to participate in their society and be represented in democratic decision making.International IDEA's work on political parties takes place under the framework of an institution-wide programme Political Parties, Participation and Representation. The programme supports political parties and promotes gender equality, while focusing on four areas; 1. Party Finance: to improve regulation on party and candidate finance. 2. Programmatic Parties: to allow more political parties to develop policy platforms. 3. Effective party assistance: stronger alignment of approaches in party assistance.4. Cooperation in competition: to seek consensus within the prevailing political culture of competition, through more effective interparty dialogue.IDEA's global programme builds on its existing expertise in strengthening political parties and political systems. The recent revolutions in the Arab world have reinforced its intentions to expand its focus on political parties and to work more closely with parties at country level. One priority will be to stimulate dialogue between political parties, for only when different parties work together to create change, will democratic reforms become lasting.

As North American auto suppliers prepare to announce results for the fourth quarter of 2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services believes that most of their reports will support our view that already very high levels of credit risk will increase, and not abate in at least the first part of 2009. Recession has also hit European auto suppliers hard. The decrease in auto registrations in the last quarter of 2008 was about 15% in Western Europe. We also see an extremely tough 2009, and we expect auto registrations in Western Europe this year to be at least in line with 2008's decline of about 8.4%. Japanese auto suppliers are in similar straits as their U.S. and European counterparts. They expect...

The application of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy to the treatment of gallstones has followed its promising results in the treatment of urinary calculi (1, 2). First-generation spark-gap lithotriptors required hospitalization of patients and use of anesthesia or analgesia (3). Improved lithotripsy technology has recently permitted virtually pain-free treatments in the outpatient setting (4). We report the first U.S. experience with piezoelectric lithotripsy in the treatment of gallstones in outpatients without anesthesia, analgesia, or sedation.
Methods: During a 21-month period, we recruited 60 symptomatic patients with gallstones (38 women, 22 men). Their mean age was 48 years (range, 27 to 70 years)

Senior point guard Mark Lyons and the Arizona Wildcats were robbed of one point Sunday, and there's nothing they can do about it now. Seemingly everybody that mattered missed the fact that a jump shot from Lyons at 19:24 of the second half should have counted for three points against Utah, not two. Replays show his feet clearly behind the arc.
Wildcats Really Scored 69 Points Sunday, Not 68

The (microscopic) flow of three dimensional disordered athermal granular packings remains poorly understood. However, experimentally studying flow and deformations in a three dimensional packing of grains is challenging due to the opacity of such packings. We use refractive index matched scanning with hydrogel spheres to image such flows. Hydrogel is soft and has low friction, which allows for the study of contact forces via contact deformations. We look at how force networks develop in sheared packings close to the onset of mechanical rigidity.

hey sun, joy dropped to 49.64, stays there for a hour, then climbs up closes 1.366 green? 11 million shares, initially, joy beat the sector down, as joy recovered, so did ANR. but if you watch the 1 minute, one hour chart for ANR, man, has computer ping pong all over it. like watching the paint dry. most stocks are like that, the NYSE volume in august 2012 is the lowest since 1997, according to matt miller, bloomberg. i picked up some at 5.92, but didn't sell, i'll probably regret it tommorow, who knows, your guess is good as any ones.basically after labor day, will give us an idea about volumes and if any kind of sector rotation. being in ANR at these levels, who knows. just wait and see, unreal, what a market. IMHO
Sentiment: Hold
I would have more confidence in anr now if it were mid october- i think september and early will be rough- scary thing is we are near market highs and the coals, steels, and materials are near lows- what will happen when the market corrects- i hope and hope that there is a rotation into the materials space if there is a correction because they have been so beaten down but that is just hope- wlt, anr, aa, mt, aks, fcx, all near lows- what will turn them around- gltal
aks looks horrible on fundys. I have X recently, but I'm staying away from a lot of steels. I really think there is better value in coal - best value in the market, IMO.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

I believe that men's lack of instinct is entirely cultural.
We're a society of 'reason' and power. People who hold power are supposed to be 'reasonable', that is the only mental trait they are allowed to use is their logic. The 'irrational' mental traits; imagination, intuition, instinct; are ones actively hunted down and suppressed. For a long time only men were in power, so men were the ones who suffered most from this process.
But you can see in women that rise to positions of power these days suffer from it as well.

Elephant Attack Claims Two Lives
By Express News Service - JHARSUGUDA
Published: 09th January 2014 10:14 AM
Last Updated: 09th January 2014 10:14 AM
A 57-year-old man died after a wild elephant attacked him at Bhliadihi Kishanpara under Laikera police limits here on Wednesday morning. This is third such incident of elephants running amok and killing people.
According to sources, a herd of 13 elephants from adjoining Bamra forest entered the village under Kulabira Forest Range on Sunday. Since then, the elephants have been coming to the village and damaging houses besides feeding on paddy and other food stock.
On Wednesday morning, while a villager Juwari Kishan was going to his paddy field, the herd rushed towards him. An elephant crushed Kishan to death.
After the herd left the village leaving behind a trail of destruction, the police sent Kishan's body to Jharsuguda hospital for post-mortem.
Senior Forester of Kulabira N Kishan said they were aware of the incident and were keeping a close watch on the movement of the herd. Efforts are on to push the herd back to Bamra forest and the bereaved family would be paid `5,000 for the funeral, he added.
Rourkela: One Doud Lunga (55) died when a wild tusker attacked him near Gopapur under Birmitrapur range of Rourkela forest division in Sundargarh district on Wednesday. The incident occurred when a drive was underway to chase away the elephants.
Rourkela Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Sanjeet Kumar informed that two separate forest teams were driving the herd of 12 elephants and another herd of 17 elephants from Birmitrapur forest range. Around 2 am, a tusker from the herd of 12 elephants got separated and stayed back near Gopapur village and trampled Doud to death who failed to locate the giant animal in the darkness. Interim relief from the Red Cross fund and Forest Department were given for cremation.

Have you ever had quinoa for breakfast? Quinoa can be very versatile. I have used quinoa in cookies and stir fries in the past, but this was my first try eating quinoa for breakfast. Quinoa is naturally gluten free, so it's a great alternative to oatmeal. This slow cooker breakfast quinoa was much better than I ever expected! Slow cooking the quinoa allowed the sugars in the dates and apples to come out. I added no sugar at all to this slow cooker breakfast quinoa.
This would be the perfect breakfast to make if you were having company over. It makes a good amount. Like I said before, I thought it was plenty sweet without sugar, but if you like things a bit sweeter, you can always add some maple syrup to it in the morning.
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 5 servings
- 1 cup quinoa
- 3 cups milk (I used almond milk)
- 4 medjool dates chopped
- ¼ cup pepitas
- 1 apple peeled and diced
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- Throw all the ingredients in a crock pot.
- Cook on high for 2 hours or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- If you want to cook it overnight, turn on the crock pot to low right before you go to bed. It should be ready by morning.

Family Hotel Deals
Take a look at these handy tips for finding deals on family friendly hotels.
Look for Hotels Where Kids Stay Free
Many hotels and resorts that cater to families allow children 18 and under to stay free of charge if they use existing bedding. This is particularly convenient if you book a room with two king or two queen beds, so that everyone can have their own space.
If your children are teenagers and balk at the idea of sharing a room with their parents, turn your search to suites. Many hotel suites have a separate bedroom and a living area with a sleeper sofa.
Seek Out Package Deals
If you're traveling with your family, you're probably going on a trip for leisure rather than for business, so you should head to a location that offers fun as well as a place to lay your head for the night. Often, resorts such as Disney will offer fantastic package deals for families who go to the resort and then stay overnight with them. The package may include items such as theme park admission, transportation to the park, or vouchers for free or discounted meals. You may even be able to get a free night at a hotel if you pay for a certain number of nights.
Even if the hotel you choose is not near a theme park, you may still be able to get some package discounts. For example, some hotels offer free or discounted admission to nearby attractions, such as museums or performances.
Use Coupons and Online Deals
Travel websites may offer exclusive deals on stays at specific hotels, so be sure to check these out. Sometimes, these are last-minute deals or are restricted to certain dates, but if you are flexible with your time of travel, it's worth taking a look.
Also be sure to search for coupons. You may be able to get a percentage off your hotel stay or a flat discounted room rate for your family.
Pick the Perfect Travel Dates
Your children's school schedules may restrict when you can travel, but if the kids are homeschooled or attend a school with a schedule that is different from most, take advantage of that flexibility. Try to travel on weekdays and during spring or fall, when family hotels are likely to be less full and therefore more affordable. Even if your kids have a standard school schedule, you may be able to get lower rates by traveling at the very end or very beginning of summer vacation.

LAS VEGAS - U.S. Senate candidate Sue Lowden said Wednesday that she "misspoke" when she described her campaign bus as a donation, and that a lease agreement shows she doesn't own the recreational vehicle despite having her name on its title.
A complaint with the Federal Election Commission filed by Democrats alleges Lowden took an excessive campaign contribution and didn't report it properly. Campaign finance laws allow individuals to donate up to $2,400 per election to each candidate or candidate committee.
"We don't own the bus, we're paying fair market value on a lease for the bus," Lowden said Wednesday during a radio interview with KXNT-AM. "And that's legit, with a lease agreement."
She dismissed the accusations as a desperate attack from her opponents as a June 8 primary approaches.
Lowden's campaign declined on Wednesday to provide a full copy of the lease agreement to The Associated Press. A redacted copy of the first page of the agreement was dated Jan. 12.
Lowden spokeswoman Crystal Feldman said the campaign reported $15,642.66 in payments related to the vehicle through the end of the first quarter.
That includes $4,560 in in-kind donations made by the RV's owners, Carl Giudici and Elsie Giudici, and $11,082.66 to Reno-Sparks RV and Auto Service for improvements, Feldman said.
An FEC campaign contribution lists the in-kind contributions from the Giudicis as being for "vehicle rental." Feldman said there were no other payments for the vehicle during the first quarter, but there will be additional payments due based on usage of the motor home.
Lowden said Wednesday that her name was on the vehicle's title for registration purposes.
But a person can't be listed on a Nevada vehicle title without being considered its owner, Department of Motor Vehicles spokesman Kevin Malone said.
"The title is the ownership document," Malone told the AP. "You can't be on the title without being an owner, you can't."
Malone said the DMV doesn't recognize private leases to determine legal ownership.
Feldman said the campaign worked with the DMV to register the vehicle, and would work with the state agency to correct the ownership records if they're not right. She said the campaign plans to return the vehicle to the Giudicis after Lowden's run ends.
But the campaign's position is that the private lease agreement supersedes the DMV title for federal election purposes, Feldman said.
"For FEC purposes, she's not an owner," Feldman said. "She's not an owner in any way, shape or form."
An FEC spokeswoman said the complaint was received Wednesday, but said the agency could not comment on its specifics.
According to federal regulations code governing elections, the FEC uses applicable state law to determine assets included among a candidate's personal funds.
Lowden's clarification on Wednesday differed from previous television interviews, in which Lowden repeatedly referred to the 2001 Monaco Executive motor home as a donation.
"Let me just talk about my RV - this was donated," Lowden told KOLO-TV in Reno nearly two weeks ago. "You know, I'm really fortunate and anybody could have had a donated RV if they have supporters who want to donate."
The comments prompted an accusation from a Republican primary challenger, Danny Tarkanian, and the FEC complaint by Democrats. Lowden, Tarkanian and several others are vying to become the Republican nominee to possibly unseat U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in November.
