Drakengard 2
And so the saga drags on.
At one point, Cavia, the developer, was the creative force behind the high-quality Ace Combat series, but its pedigree hasn't had a good effect on Drakengard. While some of the stages feature the company's famous photo-realistic graphics, it arrives with far less impact since most of the areas are fantasy-based bland mountains instead of Ace Combat's lifelike urban settings. In purely visual terms, Drakengard 2 doesn't even hold up to the visual quality of Cavia's other titles like Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex or the import-only Naruto: Uzumaki Ninden. Nowe (pronounced "no-wee" or "no way!" depending on who's saying it in-game) is a generic Japanese hero type who looks like an anemic Crimson Sea rip-off, while his empire's army consists of one cloned warrior type. His superior and friend, Eris, fares no better, but the real crime is the mediocre-looking character model for his dragon soulmate, Legna. Unlike the stylish, gamine majesty of the Panzer Dragoon stable, Legna looks like some famished worm with wings. The opposing forces also suffer from visual malaise; you fight endless waves of low-poly-count enemy clones with only the occasional boss to spice things up, and even the bosses look like they fell off the same assembly line.
But where the game really fails is in its overall similarity to the first Drakengard. The control scheme is essentially the same, as is the game's structure. Multiple characters who can equip multiple weapons can be flipped through on the fly, with the balancing element being that only the equipped character and equipped weapon gain experience. The more experience a weapon has, the more moves you unlock for the character. As each character levels up, so do his melee stats. The dragon, Legna, also gains experience in battle, resulting in more powerful attack and defense stats. The RPG element remains intact, one of the few redeeming qualities of Drakengard 2. But the endless cycle of 1) fight enemies on the ground, Dynasty Warriors style, 2) hop up on the dragon's back for Ace Combat segments, and 3) strafe the enemy forces on the ground, Desert Strike style, returns -- and seems worse for the wear. Character animations are weak, and the camera angle is always zoomed in too close. Collision detection is rotten, especially when you have to fight some bosses in caves; you must attack them from the rear, but often you're are unable to because you can't run past your own idiot A.I. army who inadvertently block your path.
When you're on the ground fighting, it's almost sickening to look at. Ground textures are beyond lazy, and the enemies -- as has been stated -- are hardly intimidating, even when produced en masse. Creating 10-, 20-, 30-, or 40-hit combos (which produce HP- and MP-replenishing orbs) is child's play, and the overall level of challenge is weak, with the occasional difficulty spike coming mostly from bad camera angles at inopportune times. Aerial combat is hardly better, as each cut-scene warns you of what's coming, typically a swarm of laughable bats (which can be picked off individually or locked on to and shot down Panzer Dragoon style) or, even better, rows of floating cubes. Bear in mind that all of this "action" is peppered with and interrupted by a series of talking heads (pretend Keira Knightleys and Frodo Bagginses run rampant) who chastise you into action. Legna's voice acting is the most convincing but is somewhat lost in the whole cast's overwrought attempt at drama. In the end, you really just wish everyone would shut up and let you get on with it.
If there's any reason to recommend seeing this wholly lackluster sequel through to the end, it's that there's a clear undercurrent of "maybe the good guys are the bad guys," and if you've already put down the money to play the game, you might as well get what you came for. But if there's anyone we can still save from the curse of Drakengard 2, please consider a rental before buying. If this were a Simple 2000 game, we'd probably say, "It's decent for a $20 game, but you can see the budget quality in every corner." But since we know better, besides some nice CG work in the occasional cinematic, this is just a tepid return to mediocre series filled with potential never realized.

'Stamp Out Hunger' drive May 10
Information provided by United Way of Acadiana.
Help stamp out hunger Saturday, May 10, for America's largest anti-hunger food drive.
Help families meet their basic needs for food by participating in the 22nd annual National Association of Letter Carriers food drive in partnership with United Way of Acadiana, the USPS and Food Net.
Community members in the cities across Acadiana wishing to donate food items are urged to place a bag of non-perishable food items next to the mailbox May 10 and your postman will do the rest.
Crowley-area residents can expect notices soon to let them know how they can participate locally.
Volunteers are also needed in the Lafayette area to help collect and sort food donations May 10 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Bertrand Post Office at 1830 Bertrand Dr.
All food collected will be delivered to food banks serving Acadiana.
"We invite volunteers to lend a hand to help sort and organize donations," said Keler Williams, United Way of Acadiana director of volunteer mobilization. "Last year, donations totaled more than 63,000 pounds of food valued at more than $106,470.
"This provided 42,000 meals to Acadiana families, removing the food insecurity barrier of having to make trade-offs between housing or medical bills and purchasing nutritionally adequate foods. We all win when area communities come together so that neighbors can meet their basic needs."
To register as a volunteer or to learn more about donating food items, visit at UnitedWayofAcadiana.org or contact Williams at 337-706-1234.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Anger Among Angels: Shedding Light on the Darkness of the Human Soul
The Place Where Love and Anger Meet
Inherent in every human being is the capacity for great goodness and great harm. To live peacefully and productively in the world, we must learn how to recognize and channel these diverse energies. In this groundbreaking work, therapist William DeFoore shows us why the only way to address the violence, cruelty and perpetra tion of harm in the world around us is to frrst traverse the dark dimension of our own soul. He explores anger from a spiritual perspective and shows you that, in order to be whole and healthy, you must explore and accept both your innate innocence, and your shadow personality.Drawing on historical events, popular culture and the true experiences from his own life and those of his clients, DeFoore weaves a compelling and sometimes unnerving look at the angelic and angry aspects of human nature. By exploring this meeting place between goodness and evil, he explains the natural roots of anger and why it emerges as rage in some people, but is channeled in healthy ways in others. He reveals the precursors to toxic anger as well as the symptoms that show when someone is being overcome by it, which can serve as warning signals.In today's rage- and violence-prone society, this important book is a much-needed resource for parents, educators, mental health professionals and anyone con cerned with the welfare of our society.

"Direct whilst elusive, sumptuous and austere, precise yet expansive. David Wenngren's Library Tapes is an amalgam of beautifully juxtoposed expressions and deftly described phrases. Found sounds and field recordings crackle and smoulder as Danny Norbury's cello teases out a foundation for fragile piano melodies. While those passages so gentle and elegant form the spine of David's sound, its the sense of patience - of compositional balance which lifts his work to the stratosphere. These are 11 windows to a world of timeless suspension, of grace and of glorious decay." (Antony Harrison / Konntinent)

T03576 PORTRAIT OF A MAN IN A SLASHED BLACK DOUBLET c.
Oil on oak panel 39 3/8 × 31 1/4 (924 × 806)
Purchased (Grant-in-Aid) 1983
Prov: ...; ? at Clearwell Court, Gloucestershire, by the nineteenth century, and by descent to the Earl and Countess of Dunraven, Adare Manor, Limerick; Dunraven sale, Christie's 9 June 1982 (78, repr., as by unknown follower of Custodis) bt Wilkins and Wilkins, from whom bt by the Tate Gallery
The sitter in this unusually well-preserved and strongly-drawn portrait remains unknown. The tall hat, narrow sleeves and open double collar of his costume can be dated to the first decade of the seventeenth century; the focal point is a finely embroidered sword belt and an additional dagger or short sword at his right side, partly covered by a blue tassel. Attached to the back of the panel is a nineteenth-century label stating that the 'Unknown' sitter comes 'From Clearwell Court'. If correct, this would suggest that the painting was once at Clearwell Court or Castle in Gloucester-shire, one of the properties of the Wyndham family. The already distantly related Wyndham and Dunraven families merged when Caroline, only daughter and heir of Thomas Wyndham of Clearwell, married Windham Henry, 2nd Earl of Dunraven, in 1810.
Although Segar's heraldic career is fairly well charted, from his appointment as Portcullis Pursuivant in 1585, to Garter King of Arms in 1603 and the granting of a Knighthood in 1617, his oeuvre as a painter of life-size portraits has to be reconstructed from a few contemporary references and one documented work, the portrait of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, 1590, now in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin (repr. Roy Strong, The English Icon, 1969, fig. 175). The attribution of this painting to Segar or his circle has been suggested by Strong on grounds of a similarity of style which it shares with a group of slightly earlier portraits seen as related to the Dublin portrait.

Do not drive in POP
If exploring Puerto Plata (POP) on your own, please do take a taxi. Do not drive around on your own 'coz Dominicans are crazy drivers!

One day we wanted to go to Puerto Plata to look around. One of the workers at the hotel told us to expect about $25 US. We would have to fend for ourselves after we were dropped off.

Taxi's from the airport
Fixed taxi rates are listed on a big sign just outside the airport terminal. Return rates are also shown, and should be about a $10 or more discount vs. seperate bookings.Single from the airport to Cofresi beach was about $25, and return $40 excluding tip.Watch out for the guys who try and show you where the taxi's are, they also expect some money.more
Didn't do it myself, but driving looked like a bit of a dangerous exercise for the uninitiated...

Sprint slip
We were running sprints in gym class. I had on my bad tennis shoes that were really slippery. I was trying to stop really fast to turn around and run back, but I slipped and fell on my butt right in front of a really cute guy. It hurt so badly!

Dear Midwife,
I am 38 weeks pregnant today and 2cm dilated but baby's head is to high only 1 5th engaged. I wanted an early induction like my last child but they said it's to risky to break my waters as baby's head is too high and there is a risk of cord prolapse. They don't give the prostin gel after the third baby as this over stimulates the womb making baby unhappy and this is my sixth.
I wanted to know if I go over due what will they do if they can't do any of the 2 induction methods.
There are other induction methods that are safer for women who have had more than 5 babies. But the key, from what you say, is to stop stressing about when the baby will come. The best way to get into labor is to ignore it, so you don't make the stress hormone adrenaline, which stops labor.
Have some fun with your other kids, have a date with your husband, visit a friend, see a movie. Try to do things you won't be able to do once the baby is born. Good luck!
-- Cynthia, CNM. PhD.

Sunday's No Way Out might be an off-month, "B" Pay-Per-View, but when you look closer at it there is a lot more going on underneath the surface. There is the potential to be some serious game-changing stuff that goes on during the show; then again, WWE might drop the ball and the show might disappoint.
I'm going to go ahead and be optimistic here. I'm going to give my predictions for the No Way Out that we need to see, the one that has the potential to be a really good show and could set in motion some really good summer storylines for a company that really, really needs the life.
So let's get right down to it:

Have you ever watched tennis – particularly the women's professional tennis association – and wondered why the athletes grunted as they struck the ball? Though I cannot speak on behalf of any of the players, my assumption was that it increased the attention and ultimately performance of the athlete.
According to research by Amy Welch & Mark Tschampl, I was half right, and the grunting does improve performance, but the boost is related to increased strength and not increased attention.

There have been times when we've all felt a little burned out from work. When we feel burned out the usual suspects are situational factors like the job, occupation, organizational characteristics, leadership, and individual differences. But there is one variable that has typically been ignored in the literature—our motivational dispositions, or in other words, our goals.

Emotional intelligence refers to the capacity to recognize and use emotions. If I smile, do you recognize this as happiness? Or do you believe that me laughing means that I am sad? If you knew that a smile typically indicates a state of happiness, give yourself a gold star. Now that you are the Albert Einstein of recognizing emotions, can you use them?
For instance, if you want to non-verbally convey how you are feeling, can you alter your body language so as to communicate your mood? If so, two gold stars for you. Since recognizing and using emotions seems important to the performance of everyday activities and communications, does recognizing and using emotions affect performance in other domains such as collegiate sports?

In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell (2008) contends that date of birth is relevant to the success of hockey and soccer players. Can that be true? As you ponder this, also consider the relevance of someone's place of birth.
Does the success of an athlete relate to the population size of the city that he or she was born in? For example, would you rather select an athlete who was born in February in a town of over 5,000,000 or an athlete born in September in a town of less then 500,000?

How long does an athlete need to practice before he or she becomes an expert? In the 1970s, the amount was 10,000 hours, or, approximately 10 years (sound familiar to you "Outliers" fans?). As of late, the theory has been refined to reflect the notion that quality is at least as important as the quantity of practice. Deliberate practice, a high-quality type of practice that focuses on improving performance with a work-like fervor, has been shown to differentiate expert from non-expert athletes, academics, and artists.

Obama hails courage of nation's police officers
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Saturday praised the nation's police officers for everyday acts of courage, saying they often rush into danger to do "some really tough stuff."
In a White House ceremony honoring some of the bravest, he said America need look no further than the Boston Marathon bombings: "Police officers ... running towards explosions not knowing if there was something more on the way. Law enforcement from different agencies in different parts of the country working together as one united team to identify suspects and bring them to justice."
He said few will ever forget the end of the marathon manhunt in Watertown, Mass. Suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev died in a gunbattle with police, and residents cheered and gave police high fives after his brother Dzhokhar was apprehended.
"We don't always get that opportunity to stand and applaud the men and women who keep us safe," Obama said. "But they're out there -- hundreds of thousands of you patrolling our streets every single day. And we know that when we need you most, you'll be ready to dash into danger, to protect our lives, even if it means putting your lives on the line."
Obama was flanked by award recipients, many in uniform, with families, friends and other officers looking on from the audience in the East Room.
The annual ceremony honored 43 law enforcement officers who are recipients of the National Association of Police Organizations TOP COPS award.
The group included eight officers from the Oak Creek, Wis., police force who battled a gunman at a Sikh temple last August. The gunman killed six people before turning his weapon on himself. Obama singled out Brian Murphy, the first to arrive, who, he said, suffered 12 bullet wounds.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-07-30/Technology report
Talking performance with CT Woo and Green Semantic MediaWiki with Nischay Nahata
Talking performance with CT Woo
In the light of recent questions over the long-term reliability of Wikimedia wikis, the Signpost caught up with CT Woo, the Wikimedia Foundation's director of technical operations.
- Hey CT. Many users have reported timeouts and other performance problems over the last few months. Does the Foundation view these as separate incidents or as representative of a larger trend?
- There are several reasons. For example, we are in the midst of changing file systems from NFS to an object storage system (OpenStack Swift). Since it is a very new product, we did discover a performance issue occuring during some image deletions. We have investigated, tracked it down and I am happy to report it is no longer an issue. Also recently, we hit a Linux kernel bug where systems started rebooting themselves after about 211 days of uptime. As a result, we had to patch all the affected servers. In addition, a number of development teams (especially Platform and Localisation) have changed their build-test-deploy process over the last few months and are now rolling out more frequent (albeit smaller) deployments. I do like to add that 2011/2012 has been a relatively good year for our site uptime metrics, better than 2010/2011. For readers of Wikipedia, the uptime was 99.97%. For editors, the uptime was 99.86%.
- Does the Foundation feel that it has the resources at its disposal to make these kind of problems a thing of the past?
- Resources are always a constraint. Whenever we encounter or discover a critical issue, we will all circle in to fix the problem. We usually gather the domain experts when we hit a hard problem and they could be from the Foundation or from the community. For example, the Varnish Software folks are helping us now to fix some issues when using Varnish for multimedia streaming purposes.
- Is there not a tension between the operations team on the one hand and development teams on the other that could cause more issues in the future?
- On the contrary, the teams work together very well. Yes, we do have differences in opinions occasionally but they are all healthy discussions. Most of the time, the operations team aren't the ones who perform the deployment but they are on standby. However, should we find performance issues with the deployment, and depending on the severity, we do revert the changes, using perform profiling to help identify bottlenecks.
- CT, thank you.
Google Summer of Code: Green Semantic MediaWiki
In the second of our series looking at this year's eight ongoing Google Summer of Code projects, the Signpost caught up with developer Nischay Nahata. Nischay is working on performance improvements to Semantic MediaWiki (SMW), a collection of extensions not in use on any Wikimedia Projects, but nevertheless boasting a significant list of adopters. SMW is also regarded as an influential player when it comes to deciding the course of MediaWiki's potential adoption of so-called "structured data" forms, which have recently come to prominence with the establishment of the Wikidata project. While SMW and Wikidata are distinct projects, there is an active exchange of ideas (and developers) between them. Nischay explained to the Signpost what he has been trying to accomplish, and what its broader impact might be:
|Semantic MediaWiki's continuous development has seen many changes and new datatypes introduced upon request. However, while these new data-types were introduced successfully to the front-end, the backend still stored them in the same way, requiring complex conversions to be undertaken whenever storing or retrieving data; such a system also required more space. My work has been focussed on redesigning the database to accommodate all supported data types in the most native way. This needed lots of re-factoring of code that depended on the old database architecture. While doing this I also introduced a special feature called "fixed tables" that lets a user shard (splinter) the database by using special tables for some "highly-used" properties. In addition, while waiting for code-review I wrote unit tests for Semantic MediaWiki which was useful for me and will be for future contributors.
After redesigning the database layout I have been working on improving page read/write times by doing hash-based checks before querying the database. When done at the lowest level, I started to look for performance improvements in the Special Pages shipped with Semantic MediaWiki, and we planned to maintain Property-usage statistics to improve these Special Pages. As an amazing by-product of this feature, I introduced support for 'diff'ing the semantic data of a page (similar to what SemanticWatchList does, but in Semantic MediaWiki's core). I am currently working on improved handling of subobjects, and plan to later look into caching queries which is promising to be just as awesome. I hope my work will make SMW more practical to use for larger datasets, and so more websites can use it.
Nischay regularly updates a blog following his latest progress.
In brief
Not all fixes may have gone live to WMF sites at the time of writing; some may not be scheduled to go live for several weeks.
- Gerrit discussions continue: As reported in previous editions of the "Technology report", the start of code review tool Gerrit's own review period has sparked a series of discussions about its utility. In one, the possibility of making Gerrit compatible with popular Git repository management site GitHub was addressed (wikitech-l mailing list); in another, the possibility of changing the Gerrit visuals to something without "puke green/yellow colour schemes" (also wikitech-l). One thought that has come to prominence focusses on the soon-to-be-released Gerrit 2.5, which allows reusers such as Wikimedia to add their own plugins, an advance which will no doubt please those supporting an "improved Gerrit" outcome to the review. Improvements to Git statistical tracking were also in the news this week.
- Lua to hit first WMF wikis in August: According to a recent update by Director of Platform Engineering, Lua scripts could be in operation on a Wikimedia wikis as soon as next month. Deployment will start on a test wiki, before moving to MediaWiki.org, when the possibilities afforded by MediaWiki's first serious attempt at providing a template programming language will begin to come under serious scrutiny. Talks regarding Lua (see previous Signpost coverage for context) were well received at both Berlin and Washington D.C.; any deployments are likely to attract significant developer attention.
- Meet the Analytics teams: In a post on the Wikimedia blog, the WMF Analytics team introduced their work, focussed on an update to the Wikimedia Report Card and Kraken, a new "data services platform" aimed at providing a huge array of statistics generated from dozens of datasets. The blog post also stressed the Foundation's commitment to privacy under the heading "counting not tracking". WMF wikis have traditionally been praised for high privacy ratings, albeit at the potential expense of data collection (for example, see previous Signpost coverage).
- Geolocation, geolocation, geolocation: The possibility of upgrading MediaWiki's geolocation abilities was raised this week (wikitech-l mailing list). Geolocation powers geonotices, messages delivered via the watchlist to editors from a specific area, usually advertising meetups and other real world events. The privacy implications of utilising data other than just publicly available IP addresses will no doubt also need to be considered.
- One bot approved: 1 BRFA was recently approved for use on the English Wikipedia:
- At the time of writing, 16 BRFAs are active. As usual, community input is encouraged.
- Thanks for focusing on Nischay Nahata's Google Summer of Code project; I think it's going to be very helpful for Semantic MediaWiki in a variety of ways. A few points of correction: "Semantic MediaWiki" is both an individual extension and the name given to the group of extensions that make use of it; SMW is in fact in use on one Wikimedia wiki, Wikimedia Labs (that counts, right?); I don't think academia makes for any significant portion of SMW's usage; and I don't think anyone with any serious knowledge of the matter would call SMW and Wikidata competitors: SMW is intended for single-language wikis, while Wikidata (or more accurately, the software it will run on, Wikibase) is intended for massively multilingual wikis like Wikipedia. You could argue that wikis with a few languages could use either system, but I would hardly say that makes the two competitors. Yaron K. (talk) 14:57, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Personally I consider labs to be an "internal" thing and not a "project" (in the sense of an open wiki for collaboration on writing down the sum of human knowladge, yadda). However I could see an argument both ways on that. translatewiki also uses SMW, and well it is separate from Wikimedia, it is highly integrated with our (non-english) projects. Bawolff (talk) 17:20, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you as ever for the corrections, Yaron, I do struggle to report with the same contextual depth on SMW as vanilla MW, especially in summary format. The competitors reference is to a thread last month on wikidata-l (I deliberately shan't link to it) in which one SMW advocate accused Wikidata of "rewriting SMW (and various of its extensions) almost from scratch" etc., etc. It's a hugely complex issue, especially since Wikidata phase 2 isn't fixed itself yet. I shall try to give a better researched (and longer) overview in the future, I promise :) . - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 19:21, 1 August 2012 (UTC) (n.b. just in case it's confusing, the claims in question were later removed, not by me)
- Thanks for responding, and for clarifying. I didn't know we were allowed to change the articles themselves... :) I mean, it's a wiki, but that's still a little unexpected. I also didn't know about that wikidata-l thread - I'm not on that mailing list. I just looked it up, and now I have to reiterate what I said about "anyone with any serious knowledge of the matter". :) Anyway, it's still good to see SMW being mentioned, and you (or anyone else) are always free to write to the semediawiki-user mailing list if you want quick feedback on anything. Yaron K. (talk) 04:30, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

A feeling of abundance today can help you to recognize the success you've achieved. Seeing this, your confidence may increase, urging you to put new plans into action. In your mind's eye, you may envision your future plans flourishing and bringing their rewards into all areas of your life. Even when we're not feeling particularly abundant, we can more easily see how much we have to be thankful for if we can look at our lives through the eyes of gratitude. Once we learn to recognize what gives us the feeling of abundance, we have the keys to create more of it. Envisioning what we'd like to create is like placing an order with the universe, and like companies who deliver, the universe handles all the details.
Financial rewards are just one symbol of prosperity and abundance. But we know that to really flourish we must also have health, love, joy, and goals toward which we can work. We feel the most successful when we are doing well in all areas of our lives because it is then that we are balanced. If we find that we are only enjoying success in one area of our lives, we can examine how we created it and then apply those steps to other areas. The same principles apply because it's all energy, expressed in different forms. When we understand that completely, along with all the implications, we can create and recreate the abundance we want in our lives and live fully and joyously.

Thinking of cheating your way through Modern Warfare 3? Well then, you'd better hope the powers that be don't take notice, or you might find yourself at the receiving end of a 5000-day ban. One PS3 owner did and submitted an image proving it.
Turns out, this isn't an error. No, those 5000 days (almost 14 years) are the MW3 equivalent of a permaban. At least, that's what Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has said. When shown the above image, Bowling posted tweeted this response:
"MW3 Payer Banned for 5000 days?! Yes. If you see this message, it means you've been Permabanned (for something bad)"
Pretty hilarious for those of us who don't cheat, boost, or do anything else ban-worthy. So what did the above offender get banned for? Boosting, which he openly admitted to on Twitter to Bowling. You see, "HotShot_01" loves Modern Warfare 3 so much that he purchased six PS3 consoles to go with his six copies of the game, all in the name of boosting.
As if the ban itself weren't amusing enough, check out his tweets on the matter. Judging by his state of confusion, we're inclined to believe HotShot_01 is just a kid or teenager. On the other hand... six PS3s!

Members of the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys cross country team finished in ninth place at this weekend's regional championship meet.
The Nike Cross Southwest Regional Championship was held Saturday in Mesa, Ariz. Both Los Alamos teams qualified for the meet. The top two teams at the regional meet earned automatic bids to the Nike Cross Nationals, which will be held in Portland, Ore., Dec. 4.
NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Votto and Albert Pujols had a long conversation behind the batting cage before a game a few years ago.
"There's something about a star player of that magnitude kind of pulling you in and saying, it's OK, we can talk, don't be a rookie right now, we're going to talk like men," Votto said. "I think he made me feel comfortable and a little more confident."
Things are going to be considerably different around the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball program for the 2010-11 season.
With several noticeable absences from last season, hardly the least of which is the 6 foot, 11 inch frame of its star center, Los Alamos will have its first chance to see how the changes are taking shape Tuesday night.
The Hilltoppers will open their 2010-11 campaign Tuesday on the road when they travel to the Four Corners area. They will square off at 7 p.m. against the Kirtland Central Broncos.
Española Valley's Karli Salazar was named to the North All-Star volleyball team Wednesday.
The New Mexico High School Coaches Association, which sponsors the statewide All-Star teams, made the announcement in a press release.
Salazar, a setter for Española Valley, was one of two District 2AAAA representatives to be selected for the honor. The other was Santa Fe High School's outside hitter Shivaughn Hatt.
No Hilltoppers were named to the North squad.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper hockey team split its two opening games of the season last weekend.
Los Alamos fell in its home opener of the 2010-11 season Friday night to the Taos Ice Tigers, but bounced back one day later to shut out the Eldorado Eagles on the road.
Los Alamos, the defending New Mexico Interscholastic Ice Hockey League champion, was the league's final team to get into action. It is the only team in the state to play in an outdoor rink.
ALBUQUERQUE — The University of New Mexico Lobos got 18 points from senior Dairese Gary and 15 from freshman Kendall Williams as UNM rolled the visiting Arizona State Sun Devils 76-62 Tuesday night in The Pit.
The Sun Devils ignored UNM's rowdy Pit and cut through the UNM defense for a quick 10-3 lead. UNM then went on a 20-0 run to take a lead the Lobos would never let go.
Annual Green-Gold hoops set for Friday
Local golfers Eddie Sanchez and Barbara Schmitt tied for ninth place in the Senior Division of the National ESPN Golf Challenge in Las Vegas, Nev.
Sanchez and Schmitt competed in the tournament Oct. 22-23. In all, 36 two-person teams competed for the Senior Division crown. Senior Division play used net scoring.
All the participants in the tournament reached the national tournament by qualifying earlier in local and regional events.
The tournament was played at Paiute Golf Resort.
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Maya Moore missed, and suddenly Connecticut's grip on women's college basketball was in jeopardy.
Baylor had one more shot to topple the No. 1 Huskies and end their record winning streak. But the No. 2 Lady Bears simply ran out of time, their last try a little too short and a little too late.
ALBUQUERQUE — Los Alamos' former big man had a big showing in his first collegiate outing.
Former Hilltopper superstar Alex Kirk posted a double-double to start his college career, leading the University of New Mexico Lobos to a 63-54 victory over Detroit Saturday night.
UNM and Kirk were stellar in their 2010-11 season opener against Detroit, as they cruised to a wire-to-wire victory front of 15,145 fans at the Pit.

Black God (GN 14)
Title: Black God
Volume: GN 14
Pages: 192
Distributor: Yen Press
Release date: 2011-10-15
Suggested retail price: $11.99
Age rating: 16+
With Mana on board, Keita is outnumbered five girls to one guy in the modest Tokyo apartment. Although Mana has been welcomed in as part of the "family," her disdain for humans and mototsumitama who ally with them is more than evident. A glimpse into the past reveals the cause: Mana's beloved older sister abandoned her right to clan leadership - and her little sister - to raise a family with the human she had fallen in love with. Can Mana set aside her resentment to help Kuro and Keita find and defeat the elusive Ghost?
Story by Dall-Young Lim and Art by Sung-Woo Park.

It was announced Monday during a press conference inside Thompson-Boling Arena.
Tamika Catchings, a former Lady Vol All-American, Olympian and WNBA All-Star, began her foundation in 2004, three years after she was drafted by the Indiana Fever following her injury-shortened senior season in 2001.
She recently was named one of the "Top 5 Most Positive Athletes in the World" by the United Nations NGO Voting Academy and also is one of 10 finalists for the Jefferson Awards, the "Nobel Prize of community service," that will be announced next month.
The focus of the foundation will be on students who attend the new Paul L. Kelley Volunteer Academy, a school for youngsters needing a nontraditional means of graduating from high school. Three students attended Monday's press conference to represent the school.
The school is located in the Knoxville Center shopping mall and is named after Kelley, a former teacher, assistant superintendent and school board president. It operates under a partnership between the Simon Youth Foundation and Knox County Schools, with funding also provided by the Great Schools Partnership and the Cornerstone Foundation.
Simon Youth Foundation is a nonprofit organization started by the mall's owner, Simon Property Group, to create mall schools that provide alternative options for at-risk students and post-secondary scholarship programs for high school seniors.
"The biggest thing UT is going to give them is intellectual capital," Polite said. "Our faculty and our students, including our student-athletes, will become involved with Catchings' foundation to encourage the youth of Knoxville. The Paul L. Kelley Volunteer Academy gives us a place to start."
Indianapolis philanthropist Herb Simon is co-founder of the Simon Property Group and owner of both the Indiana Fever and Indiana Pacers. Rider formerly lived in Indiana and served on the Simon Youth Foundation Education Committee. The Simon Property Group owns or has an interest in 393 properties in North America, Europe and Asia, including the Knoxville mall. The foundation currently operates 25 schools across the country.

Review Sep 9, 2015
Schoolgirls with dubious impulses run wild in 'Our Huff and Puff Journey'

text: Chesapeake Bay Governor Declares VA's Menhaden Harvest Level By Pamela D'Angelo • Jun 4, 2015 Last month fisheries managers from Florida to Maine voted for a ten percent increase in commercial harvests of menhaden. The oily fish is loved by bald eagles, osprey and other fish and is used along the Atlantic as bait to catch tastier fare like lobster and crab. At a rainy ceremony today, Governor Terry McAuliffe threw his support behind Omega Protein, the last fish rendering plant on the East Coast. Modest Harvest Boost for Menhaden By Pamela D'Angelo • May 6, 2015 This week, East Coast fisheries managers voted to increase by 10-percent the catch for menhaden. The fish is used as bait, processed for vitamin supplements and food for fish farms. The two-year increase will give back half of the 20 percent harvest reduction taken in 2012. It's been a three year battle between commercial fishermen and environmentalists. But after scientists reworked models they found a healthier stock of menhaden. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission was asked to reconsider the economic impact of their catch limits. Tangier Island Missing Oyster Floats By Pamela D'Angelo • Mar 4, 2015 It's been a rough winter out on the Chesapeake Bay for Virginia's Tangier Island. Last month, Virginia Army National Guard flew in supplies after residents were trapped by thick ice from days of freezing temperatures and snow. Now, island watermen and a group of Richmond investors including former State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli have been dealt another blow by mother nature. The Brock Environmental Center By Sandy Hausman • Dec 2, 2014 Chesapeake Bay Foundation Many people spend their weekends looking at houses. Some are in the market to buy. Others are just nosey, but recently Virginians toured a new building like no other in the nation – a place that gets all its water from rain, generates all the power it needs, has not a single flush toilet and keeps the floors clean in an ingenious way. VaNews: Blue Crab Decline in the Chesapeake Bay By Fred Echols • Dec 1, 2014 Virginia Public Access Project As the blue crab harvest in the Chesapeake Bay continues to decline there's still uncertainty over the causes and disagreement about what should be done. Those stories have been among the most read over the past week at the Virginia Public Access Project's VaNews link. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 next › last »

It looks like somebody has taken the Danish advice to obliterate weeds in my previous item too far in producing a list of 'The top 10 ways to kill arabidopsis'. Now, I know that for many of us Arabidopsis is a weed (after all its common name is l'herbe mauvais – allegedly – in French), but even I acknowledge that it does have important plant biological uses. So, before the arabidophiles amongst my legion of adoring fans reach to turn the flamethrower or pan of boiling water on me, I ought to explain that the full title of that list is actually 'The top 10 ways to kill arabidopsis…….by accident (honest guv)'. It is in fact handy hints of how to avoid killing off the botanical equivalent of the lab rat (which was conveniently ignored in many of the media reports that commented on this item). So, that's all right, then. [More arabidopsis culture tips, etc here– Ed.]

Looking back on WrestleManias past is like leafing through a photo album — the headlining match is a valuable snapshot of who ruled the company at that particular time.
But the inclusion of big-name superstars in the closing match doesn't automatically guarantee a memorable event.
An extraordinary WrestleMania headliner is built up over time, the culmination of a slow-simmering feud in which each wrestler has had a chance to verbally and physically slay his opponent.
The rudimentary element of all WrestleMania main event feuds is this: a believable, interesting and otherwise entertaining reason for two wrestlers to fight.
Each feud has different wrinkles and secondary components added into it, but the underlying characteristic between all of the best WrestleMania main events is the same.
The audience has to genuinely care that these two wrestlers want to tear each other apart.
First, let's take a look at the 10 worst WrestleMania main event buildups, instances in which something — the storyline, the execution, or the wrestlers involved — just didn't click.
WrestleMania II, Hulk Hogan vs. King Kong Bundy
WrestleMania XXVII, John Cena vs. The Miz: The WWE spent more time hyping the feud between Cena and the Rock, leaving the Miz as nothing more than an afterthought.
WrestleMania X8, Triple H vs. Chris Jericho: Not only was this match overshadowed by Hollywood Hogan vs. The Rock, it also suffered from poor booking. Using Jericho and his Undisputed Championship as a secondary prop to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's divorce was a nonsensical decision.
WrestleMania IX, Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna
WrestleMania X, Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna: Hart and Lex Luger were co-winners of the Royal Rumble, which jumbled the title picture. Luger had been feuding with Yokozuna since the previous year, and Hart had a conflict with his brother, Owen, heading into WrestleMania. Because of this, Hart vs. Yokozuna really had no build besides their feud leading up to WrestleMania IX.
WrestleMania 13, Undertaker vs. Sycho Sid
WrestleMania 25, Triple H vs. Randy Orton: Triple H seeking vengeance after Orton punted Vince McMahon in the head was a passable storyline, but the Legacy never got any credibility as a heel stable. Shane McMahon was able to manhandle Orton one week after the punt, Triple H constantly had the Legacy on the run, and even Vince held his own during the three-on-three brawl a week before 'Mania.
WrestleMania 22, John Cena vs. Triple H: Triple H did not take John Cena seriously as a threat, making Cena a major underdog going into this match. The problem with that: Cena had been the WWE champion for 343 of the last 364 days on the date WrestleMania 22 took place.
WrestleMania 23, John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels
WrestleMania XIX, Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar: Instead of booking this match as two guys looking to prove they were the best wrestler in the world, the WWE built Angle up as a cowardly champion trying to win by any means necessary — switching places with Eric Angle and getting interference from Team Angle — to win.
Now, on to the 17 best WrestleMania main event buildups:

If you are qualified for a home loan, I'd be happy to help you.
Theodore Trentman
Congratulations on having such a great job, and wanting to buy your first home. I agree that buying would be a better option if you can afford it, and now is a great time to buy. You don't indicate if you have a down payment saved up, so its hard to know if you would be able to afford and qualify for a home in the $2-3 million range. The first thing you need to do is speak with a lender. They can run your credit and check your debt to income ratios etc. There are numerous calculators online that can you give you an idea as to whether you would qualify, but without speaking to a lender, its hard to know if in fact you will qualify.
If you need a recommendation for a lender, I am happy to provide you with one. After you've spoken with the lender we can discuss whether buying or renting makes more sense for you. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
If your'e making 100k at 20, then you probably will be doing even better in years to come. Buying property can also make a good investment and even though it will eat up a lot of your money you will at least get to live in a nice house, and gain some equity too. I don't know if you can get approved, it depends on your situation but I can find out for you if you would like. It all depends on where you think you will be in the years to come, and also how much down. Maybe you could look for a condo in these areas and see how that goes for a year. Leasing is also a good idea and isn't really throwing your money away. Don't forget you don't have to pay expensive property taxes, manage the property, the lawn etc, and if anything goes wrong you have the landlord fix it.
Hope this advice helps you a bit, and if you are looking to get a conventional home mortgage loan, let me know.

I would be happy to assist. The first thing you need to do is speak to a couple of mortgage brokers, fill out some applications and see what you can truly afford to buy and also what is realistic in what you want to pay and not interfer with you personal life. You are 20 yrs old and you also want to have fun.... finding a balance to both personal and financial is a must. Afterwards, work with an agent that is willing to show you around and show you different types of properties. Not just homes, but also condos, etc. There are a number of responsibilities that come with different types of properties and you should be aware of what those types of maintenance are and will be. I would be willing to go over these things with you. Give me a call.

Here is a property that I though would suit your age and budget.
Stunning 1 br/1 ba condo in the heart of Beverly Hills in slick 10 unit building completed in 2004. Chic residence features hwood floors throughout, recessed lighting, & inlaid ceiling w/ crown moldings. Chef's kitchen w/ stainless steel Viking appliances and granite counters/backsplashes. Expansive master w/ large windows, sumptuous bath w/ carerra marble dual vanity & shower. Huge patio, 2 sidexside spots, storage, in unit w/d, keyless entry, 1 yr paid membership at Sports Club/LA BH included.
Good luck with your property search. I hope you find your idea first home.
It is a great time to get in the market in my opinion, however I understand if the homes under $1M do not fit the lifestyle you would like. In that case, I would highly recommend renting a place where you can save significant amounts of money and be prepared to buy down the road. Why throw your money away into a high priced rental, when you can sacrifice for the short term and eventually achieve your goal of owning the property you want.
Another option would be to buy a nice investment property for now in the areas adjacent to Beverly Hills, and by the time you are ready to move up you will have 2 properties (most of my wealthiest clients achieved their wealth through real estate and owning multiple properties). This may be a great option for you.
I'm happy to help.

I've compiled a list of of six homes listed for $700k to $800k within three or four miles of Downtown Beverly Hills. Three are up Benedict Canyon directly above Beverly Hills and are actually in the city. Two are in the hills above the Sunset Strip west of Lookout Mountain. One is in Cheviot Hills.
I understand that your home is an important part of your business and these properties offer a fine start in terms of expressing who you are. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to see the list and get more information on these excellent properties.
Buy a home that you can afford in or as close as possible to the zip codes you're interested in (talk to a direct lender), you're only 20 so WTG on making some pretty kick butt $$ at that age! By the time you're 25 I'm sure you'll be making 300% more money in which case your chances will have skyrocketed to possibly being able to afford a $2-3M home!
My suggestion is that you speak with a loan officer who can answer your questions about finances. Your age makes no difference, so don't let that stop you. If you would like a referral, I know someone from BOA.
As far as Leasing vs Owning, you are building equity when you own Real Estate. Real Estate is usually a part of a financial portfolio, along with stocks, bonds and other investments
Why don't you speak with a lender before ruling out purchasing, and secondly, you might want to consider some other areas that might not be as expensive as Beverly Hills or Bel-Air. You could purchase something that you will be comfortable in for at least 5 years, and then if you outgrow that place you can see where you are financially and perhaps buy in Beverly Hills/Bel Air at that time.
This is a great question which I have been asked many times, should I buy or should I rent?
Well, as the other agents already mentioned, your first step is to talk to a reputalbe lender who can run your credit and tell you how much they can pre approve you for. I depends also on how much down payment you already have. I'll be glad to recommend you to lender's my clients have worked with.
Hope to hear back from you,
Tova Sarir
Keller Williams Beverly Hills
The first person to talk to would be your lender. You have good income, however unless you are making a significant downpayment you will most definitely be looking at property for well under $1M. Leasing a property could be necessary at this time for you to build up your credit, but only a lender will know what the best possible options are for you at this time. Please let me know if you would like me to recommend to you a few excellent lenders and I'm happy to assess from there where you would like to be in the next few years.

Mossad's post-Munich assassinations 'prevention, not revenge'
KERRY O'BRIEN: The Munich Olympics massacre was one of those events in modern history that left an indelible mark with anyone old enough at the time to understand what was happening. The impact was all the greater that day in September 1972 when eight Palestinian terrorists took 11 Israeli athletes hostage at the Olympic Village because much of it was played out on live television - still a novelty in those days. The sight of balaclava-clad gunmen, of stricken hostages about to die, and of bumbling German officials, all in the environs of the "peaceful Games" was indeed one that invoked shock and horror, especially when, within 24 hours, all the hostages and all but three of the Palestinians were dead. It's what Israel did subsequently that is now the subject of intense focus 33 years later with the Spielberg movie - both acclaimed and criticised - that details 20 years of systematic assassinations, approved by government, of Palestinians claimed to be connected to the Munich massacre. One at least was a sad case of mistaken identity. But a book released here this week tells a somewhat different story, sourced to scores of former Israeli Mossad agents directly or indirectly engaged in the killings. The author, Aaron Klein, is 'Time' magazine's defence and intelligence correspondent in Israel with a background in Israeli military intelligence, and I spoke with him by satellite in Jerusalem.
