Review: Professor Layton and the Last Specter is an Awful Lot of Game
And, fortunately, all that game is quite good.
You don't play a Professor Layton game because you're looking for a shocking new form of interactive narrative, though. You play because you like the characters -- the erudite gentleman who serves as the hero, his eager young assistant Luke, and the frequently odd folk who surround the latest mystery -- and because you enjoy solving riddles, both in the sense of overt brain-teasers and the inevitable nesting puzzles that comprise each game's plot. A Professor Layton game is a whimsical, intriguing detective novel crammed with both cartoons and overt calls for mental gymnastics.
The latest chapter, Professor Layton and the Last Specter, is no different. Set as a prequel to the previous three games, Specter introduces new key characters (most importantly Layton's assistant, Emmy, as well as a new villain), and tells the story of how Luke came to be Layton's puzzle-solving ward. As with the previous games, it's heavy on narrative, and you get about the world by moving from screen to screen as in a classic adventure game. The main difference, however, is that instead of trying to come up with believable, contextual, in-game puzzles a la Sam & Max or Monkey Island, Level-5 simply said, "Screw it," and made everyone in Layton's world obsessed with riddles. There's no real reason for the challenges you face to be placed before you at all; they just are. After a while, you learn to roll with the punches and accept the fact that everyone Layton meets is kind of pathologically obsessed with puzzles.
These riddles run the gamut. Some of them are dead simple (so simple you're likely to get them wrong by overthinking them). Others feel like some sort of Mensa entry test. And a few are annoyingly vague and easily misinterpreted. Fortunately, the game is generous with retries and hints; you have to buy hints, but nearly every screen of the game has three hidden hint coins that can be found by tapping around the scene, which is something you do naturally in an adventure game to begin with. The fewer mistakes you make in solving puzzles, the better your rewards. And, of course, it makes you feel smart -- always a plus.
By and large, Specter's tale is about what you'd expect based on the previous games: A slightly silly, sometimes overly precious story that takes forays into improbable fantasy completely with shadowy figures plotting and cackling. The characters are completely likable, especially the spunky Emmy, and the puzzles start baby-gentle and eventually become soul-crushingly hard. It's a success, but it doesn't break an inch of new ground.
Well, at least not in the main game. The secret of Specter is that the main adventure is almost a side diversion to the much larger RPG contained within: Professor Layton's London Life. This one's a bit of a misnomer, since Layton himself isn't the star; instead, you design your own character and wander around talking to familiar-looking characters in a town called Little London. Level-5 and Nintendo refer to it as an RPG, but in truth it's a total Animal Crossing clone done up in a retro-flavored pixel style. You wander around earning cash by performing errands and menial jobs for your fellow residents, saving up to buy better clothes with which to customize your avatar and a fancier home.
London Life isn't a masterpiece by any means, but it's fun and charming. Much of the charm comes from the beautifully simple pixel art, which conveys a ton of character with very few pixels and allows for a ridiculous amount of character customization. Switching clothes around isn't strictly a cosmetic matter, though; your character is graded on their appearance and happiness, both of which are tied into your clothing and earnings. The materialistic undertones of this feel a little awkward in light of all the protests dominating the news these days, but it is simply being faithful to Animal Crossing, after all.
I wouldn't describe London Life as a total Animal Crossing clone, though. Where Nintendo's own franchise can often be surreal (bordering on downright bizarre), London Life is more cutesy, sometimes conspicuously so. I guess you might call it "twee," if you wanted to be all stereotypically British about it (which is London Life's M.O.). There's not as much to do as in Animal Crossing, and the residents don't seem quite so dynamic or unpredictable. But it's fun, lightweight, and a hell of a bonus for a game that could easily have been sold alone. In fact, London Life is being spun out into a full game proper (Fantasy Life); in effect, Professor Layton is two games in one, and those two games even have modest connections. I don't know that I'd necessarily recommend London Life as a standalone release, but as a freebie with a solid story-driven puzzler it's a no-brainer. In fact, the question of whether or not The Last Specter is worth a purchase is the easiest Layton puzzle answer of all.

Puzzles of awesomePosted: Mar 10, 2012 12:00AM PST by lego lizer
Played them all. They're awesome games. If only I had a 3DS :(...
Great gameplay, somewhat disappointing storyPosted: Feb 02, 2012 12:00AM PST by Midlife_Gamer
Having played all four Layton's, I do think this was a mild let down in plot. The puzzle selection, hint options, and background on the Layton characters still make it an quality title for Layton fans.
I'm not alonePosted: Oct 21, 2011 12:00AM PST by SyFyTy
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that made the Mother / EarthBound connection between Little London and the Japanese game Mother 3 Bound... I disagree with 1 thing thing Jeromy said, I DO feel the RPG is worth the price of the title alone, whereas he does not.
Excuse my trolling...Posted: Oct 18, 2011 12:00AM PST by thedubbleb
But I found this amusing:
In the third to last paragraph, Jeremy wrote:
" ... but in truth it's a total Animal Crossing clone done up in a retro-flavored pixel style."
The final paragraph of the review begins thusly:
"I wouldn't describe London Life as a total Animal Crossing clone, though."
So fickle!
Still playing thru the 2ndPosted: Oct 18, 2011 12:00AM PST by Kutabacchimae
Already bought the 3rd. My wife wants me to finish them soon so she can talk to me about them. Monster Hunter Tri has taken a lot of my free time, tho. Still looking forward to this once I finish the others and I'll probably buy it sooner rather than later since my wife will want it. Glad to hear the series has only gotten better.
Next on my to play list...Posted: Oct 18, 2011 12:00AM PST by catgirl147
Especially London Life. Yaaaaay a version of Mother 3/series we can actually play, without importing or resorting to our SNES copies of earthbound.
You should be more carefulPosted: Oct 17, 2011 12:00AM PST by lordlaharl422
I saw the word "awful" in the title of the review and was ready to fly off the handle, but then I saw "lot of game". I have to imagine that there are folks out there more likely to jump to conclusions than I am.
misleadingPosted: Oct 18, 2011 12:00AM PST by spanky_mcnasty
i did exactly the same thing...thought i was gunna blow a gasket!
Pretty sure that was on purpose...Posted: Oct 18, 2011 12:00AM PST by hobodactyl
... because Jeremy thinks his readership has brains enough to finish reading a complete sentence. Go figure :P
It's actually a clever way of drawing you into the article ;) Who knew that game reviewers could also be writers?!
Oh hobodactylPosted: Oct 18, 2011 12:00AM PST by gillysinlow
You just made my day!
(I love coming onto 1up and realizing how dynamic and fun some people are.)
No...Posted: Oct 19, 2011 12:00AM PST by the_everything
YOU should be more careful. It's not 1UP's fault if people read too fast. If they do at all.
Love the seriePosted: Oct 17, 2011 12:00AM PST by Spectreman
And is amazing how the DS still getting better games than the 3DS
GreatPosted: Oct 17, 2011 12:00AM PST by turkish101
I wouldn't really expect anything less, but it's good to hear there's nothing really wrong with the game. Is it weird that this is one of my most anticipated games of the year?
I'm curious though, why it took Nintendo/Level 5 so long to bring this game over here, when its sequel (Prof Layton 5, basically, for 3DS) is already out in Japan. Sure it's probably a bit much to localize, but still... no way will it be as successful as the first three games. Here's hoping we get the 3DS game sometime next year...
Too cultured for the webPosted: Oct 17, 2011 12:00AM PST by MisterWilliams
You said "penny dreadfuls."
This one will have to waitPosted: Oct 17, 2011 12:00AM PST by themoth
If I buy it now, everything else will get put on the back burner until I'm finished it. Those games just have that effect on me.
Yes!Posted: Oct 17, 2011 12:00AM PST by gutsdozier
The first Layton game, I blitzed through in a few days, and immediately wanted to play again. i had to trade it in to EB Games to escape.

Panorama of theoretical physics1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715395View Description Hide Description
We shall start this panorama of theoretical physics by giving an overview of physics in general, this branch of knowledge that has been taken since the scientific revolution as the archetype of the scientific discipline. We shall then proceed in showing in what way theoretical physics from Newton to Maxwell, Einstein, Feynman and the like, in all modesty, could be considered as the ticking heart of physics. By its special mode of inquiry and its tantalizing successes, it has capturing the very spirit of the scientific method, and indeed it has been taken as a role model by other disciplines all the way from the "hard" ones to the social sciences. We shall then review how much we know today of the world of matter, both in term of its basic content and in the way it is structured. We will then present the dreams of today's theoretical physics as a way of penetrating into its psyche, discovering in this way its aspirations and longing in much the same way that a child's dreams tell us about his yearning and craving. Yet our understanding of matter has been going in the past decades through a crisis of sort. As a necessary antidote, we shall thus discuss the pitfalls of dreams pushed too far….
Quantum gravity and renormalization: The tensor track1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715396View Description Hide Description
We propose a new program to quantize and renormalize gravity based on recent progress on the analysis of large random tensors. We compare it briefly with other existing approaches.
Open problems in particle astrophysics1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715397View Description Hide Description
The search for an understanding of the nature of the Dark Matter is one of the fundamental problems in science. This contribution outlines the evidence for the existence of Dark Matter (DM), and discusses the possibility that it is formed by new type of Weakly Interacting Massive (m ∼ 100 GeV) elementary Particles (WIMPs). Possible methods to verify this hypothesis include the creation of these particles in high energy accelerators, the observation of the elastic scattering of ordinary nuclei with the DM particles that form the halo of the Milky Way, and the (indirect) observation of the products of the self annihilation of the DM particles in our Galaxy. Possible, controversial hints of the existence of WIMPs will be discussed.
Quantum gravity and categories1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715398View Description Hide Description
The spin foam approach to quantum gravity is explained, emphasising both its mathematical setting in category theory and its relation to particle physics.
The Higgs mechanism and the origin of mass1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715399View Description Hide Description
The Higgs mechanism plays a key role in the physics of elementary particles: in the context of the Standard Model, the theory which describes in a unified framework the electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear interactions, it allows for the generation of particle masses while preserving the fundamental symmetries of the theory. This mechanism predicts the existence of a new type of particle, the scalar Higgs boson, with unique characteristics. The detection of this particle and the study of its fundamental properties is a major goal of high–energy particle colliders, such as the CERN Large Hadron Collider or LHC.
Topological aspects of generalized Harper operators1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715400View Description Hide Description
A generalized version of the TKNN-equations computing Hall conductances for generalized Dirac-like Harper operators is derived. Geometrically these equations relate Chern numbers of suitable (dual) bundles naturally associated to spectral projections of the operators.
Competing explanations for cosmic acceleration or why is the expansion of the universe accelerating?1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715401View Description Hide Description
For more than a decade, a number of cosmological observations have been indicating that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Cosmic acceleration and the questions associated with it have become one of the most challenging and puzzling problems in cosmology and physics. Cosmic acceleration can be caused by (i) a repulsive dark energy pervading the universe, (ii) an extension to General Relativity that takes effect at cosmological scales of distance, or (iii) the acceleration may be an apparent effect due to the fact that the expansion rate of space-time is uneven from one region to another in the universe. I will review the basics of these possibilities and provide some recent results including ours on these questions.
Frame quantization or exploring the world in the manner of a starfish1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715402View Description Hide Description
Starting with the example of a five-fold frame for the plane (e.g. sea star), we explain the powerful role that coherent states (CS) or frames can play in quantizing any set equipped with a measure. This CS quantization is illustrated with the standard case involving Glauber CS and yielding the canonical quantization, and with CS on the circle, leading in particular to quantization of action and angle variables. We then describe the general method of quantization with action-angle coherent states.
String model for spinning quark jets1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715403View Description Hide Description
A string model of quark hadronization, taking the quark spin degree of freedom into account, is proposed. The method for using the model in a Monte-Carlo code for jet generation is given.
De-quantisation1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715404View Description Hide Description
One of the most basic tasks in quantum information processing, communication and security (QIPCC) research, theoretically deep and practically important, is to find bounds on how really important are inherently quantum resources for speeding up computations. This area of research is bringing a variety of results that imply, often in a very unexpected and counter-intuitive way, that: (a) surprisingly large classes of quantum circuits and algorithms can be efficiently simulated on classical computers; (b) the border line between quantum processes that can and cannot be efficiently simulated on classical computers is often surprisingly thin; (c) the addition of a seemingly very simple resource or a tool often enormously increases the power of available quantum tools. These discoveries have put also a new light on our understanding of quantum phenomena and quantum physics and on the potential of its inherently quantum and often mysteriously looking phenomena. The paper motivates and surveys research and its outcomes in the area of de-quantisation, especially presents various approaches and their outcomes concerning efficient classical simulations of various families of quantum circuits and algorithms. To motivate this area of research some outcomes in the area of de-randomization of classical randomized computations.
Study of neutron-rich nuclei near doubly magic 132 Sn1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715405View Description Hide Description
Large basis untruncated shell-model (SM) calculations have been done for nuclei with 50 ≤Z ≤56 and 82 ≤ N ≤ 88 in the π(gdsh) ⊗ ν (hf pi) valence space above the 132 Sn core using both realistic CWG and empirical SMPN (1+2)-body Hamiltonians. These neutronrich nuclei lie on or close to the path of astrophysical r-process flow. Reasons behind the similarity and dissimilarity between the results using these two interactions have been discussed. The observation and prediction of unusually depressed first excited 2+ 1 states in even-A semi-magic Sn isotopes having N =84-88 and the possibility of a new magic number at N = 90 above 132 Sn provide motivations for reviewing the problems related to the nuclear astrophysics in general.
Vector fields in cosmology1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715406View Description Hide Description
Vector fields can arise in the cosmological context in different ways, and we discuss both abelian and nonabelian sector. In the abelian sector vector fields of the geometrical origin (from dimensional reduction and Einstein–Eddington modification of gravity) can provide a very non-trivial dynamics, which can be expressed in terms of the effective dilaton-scalar gravity with the specific potential. In the non-abelian sector we investigate the Yang–Mills SU (2) theory which admits isotropic and homogeneous configuration. Provided the non-linear dependence of the lagrangian on the invariant F μν F̃μν, one can obtain the inflationary regime with the exponential growth of the scale factor. The effective amplitudes of the 'electric' and 'magnetic' components behave like slowly varying scalars at this regime, what allows the consideration of some realistic models with non-linear terms in the Yang–Mills lagrangian.

Schwarz-Cristoffel mappings in planar gravity1444(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4715407View Description Hide Description
Point-like masses on the complex plane domain (Fundamental domain FD) are interacting globally under gravity and as a consequence the initial domain is mapped into a final domain (Physical domain PD). The mapping between the two domains is a truncated beta function which is expressible in a closed form only for less or equal than three masses. In this paper we make the remark that when the masses are put on the real axis of the fundamental domain, the mapping is the Schwarz-Christoffel mapping (SCM), a popular and useful tool in computational geometry. This linking of a planar gravity result with the SCM will gives us more information on physical domains for discrete distributions of masses on the real axis. On the other hand the continuous version of SCM will be applied to dust strings closed and infinite open, hence retrieving old results in a simpler way, avoiding lengthy calculations using general relativity. Strings with tensions are however not linked to current versions of SCM as these mappings do not involve the concept of tension.

Tired of crabs stealing your fish bait? Turn the tables and catch the crabs.
Crabbing is entertaining, exciting and something the entire family can do.
Sounds fun, but you dont have a clue how to catch a crab?
No worries. Huntington Beach State Parks Naturalist Interpreter Molly Wainscott will have you catching crabs in no time. This is super-easy, and people can get addicted to it, Wainscott said at a recent crab-catching instruction session at Oyster Cove in Murrells Inlet.
As part of Huntington Beach State Parks Coastal Exploration Program, the Nature Center offers crabbing as a weekly activity.
Wainscott provides the hand lines, dip nets and chicken necks. Participants provide three dollars, patience and the willingness to get a little muddy.
Patience is a virtue, Wainscott told the crabbers. You need to be willing to get a little wet, a little muddy, and stand still, be quiet, and be patient.
While Wainscott baits the lines for participants, with what she described as stinky chicken necks, she gives them an informative tutorial on the blue crab and other species of crab they might reel in.
She also reminds the participants they are taking part in a catch-and-release program.
We wont be keeping our crabs today, but once you learn how to do this, you can come back here and catch yourself a nice dinner.
Wainscott also cautioned the participants about crabbing inside the state park.
We have had some problems in the past with alligators getting tangled up in crab nets, so I would ask that you not crab off the boardwalks or observation decks in the park.
Wainscott passed out chicken-baited crab lines to newbie crabbers ages two to 62.
Each one was anxious to be the first to catch a crab.
Six-year-old Rozlyn Myers from Gatlinburg, Tenn., was the first to snag one.
I got one, I really got one, look, and its on the thingy! an excited Myers squealed with delight, forgetting all about the quiet aspect of crabbing.
Wainscott kneeled down to Myers level and helped her dislodge the crab from the hook, explaining that she had caught a female crab.
Lets turn it over and see what you have caught, she said. Yep, see there, you caught a girl crab a Sally.
Wainscott explained to the entire group quickly forming around the young crabber that a Sally is an immature female blue crab. They are easily identified as having an inverted V or triangular-shaped apron and red-tipped claws. Her apron is sealed tightly to her body and does not open because she is young and she cannot mate or carry eggs.
After re-baiting Myers line and sending her back into the water for another crab, Wainscott continued explaining the anatomical differences in male and female crabs. You will know when you have caught an adult female crab, she said, because she will have an inverted U-shaped apron and red-tipped claws.
A male blue crab, known as a Jimmy, has a long, narrow, inverted T-shaped apron and blue-tipped claws.
Wainscotts shoreline discussion was stopped short when three-year-old Shane McGowan from Pittsburgh, Pa., caught his first crab. Look. Look in there, McGowan pointed into his net. Its in there, and I caught a crabby.
The crab was in the net, and just under the size of a half dollar, which prompted Wainscott to conclude her discussion on crabbing with a tutorial on the rules and regulations that govern it.
If you catch a crab like this, or any crab less than five inches from tip to tip, you cannot keep it; you must release it back in to the water, Wainscott said. Also, any crabs that you catch that have eggs must be released.
Wainscott ended the crabbing adventure with a few tips for the culinary crabbers in the group.
If you plan on eating your catch, make sure you have the proper equipment with you, as eating bad crabs can make you very sick, she warned.
Culinary crabbers will need to have a bucket or cooler of ice with them at all times to make sure the crabs stay alive until they are ready to be cooked and eaten.
Wainscott cautioned the crabbers, Never put crabs in a bucket of water. The water will soon lose oxygen and suffocate the crabs.
She also asked the crabbers that unless they were going to eat a blue crab, to release it back in to the water unharmed. We want to always think about conserving our resources for future generations.

A host of Egyptian intellectuals, politicians and activists on Thursday unveiled an initiative aimed at 'restoring' democracy in Egypt following the ouster early this month of elected President Mohamed Morsi.
CAIRO (AA) – A host of Egyptian intellectuals, politicians and activists on Thursday unveiled an initiative aimed at 'restoring' democracy in Egypt following the ouster early this month of elected President Mohamed Morsi.
The initiative lays down five steps to restore the democratic process in Egypt – based on the 2012 constitution – and resolve the ongoing political crisis.
It proposes delegating presidential authority to an interim transitional government, which would immediately call for parliamentary polls.
Following elections, a "permanent" government would be drawn up and assume executive power.
Under the terms of the initiative, early presidential elections would be held in accordance with the constitution.
Necessary measures will also be taken to amend the national charter and achieve national reconciliation based on the constitution.
"This scenario aims to protect the gains of the January 2011 revolution against attempts to tarnish it… and relies on political and constitutional mechanisms – elections and referendums – as tools to express the popular will," read a statement that accompanied the initiative.
The initiative was signed by a host of dignitaries, including Hasan al-Shafae, adviser to Al-Azhar Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayeb; legal expert Tareq al-Beshri; Islamist scholar and former presidential candidate Mohamed Selim al-Awa; and prominent intellectual Mohamed Emara.
Signatories also include political analyst Hisham Gaafar, sociologist Ibrahim al-Bayoumi and political science professor Heba Raouf Ezzat, among others.
Egypt has been in the throes of political crisis since the army ousted Morsi on July 3 following mass protests against his regime.
The army also suspended the constitution and installed Adly Mansour, the head of Egypt's constitutional court, as interim president under a roadmap for the upcoming transitional phase.
Defiant Morsi supporters have since been staging daily demonstrations and sit-ins nationwide to defend his democratic legitimacy and demand his reinstatement.
On Wednesday, army chief Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi urged Egyptians to take to the streets for mass Friday protests to "authorize" him to "confront violence and terrorism."
Morsi supporters are also preparing for mass Friday rallies as part of an ongoing campaign against what they view as a "military coup against constitutional legitimacy."

A Harrisburg pharmacist has sued the drugstore chain CVS Caremark in federal court, alleging that the company discriminated against him because he had multiple sclerosis and fired him because he raised safety concerns about CVS's plans to cut staff.
In the lawsuit, filed in Harrisburg, Joseph Zorek, 61, said he had worked for the company or its predecessors from 1968 until 2012, when, he said, he was fired.
Zorek's suit says CVS violated the American With Disabilities Act for several years when supervisors insisted he use a lift chair not meant for long-term sitting, so that he could see the floor in front of the pharmacy counter.

Skip to comments.Newt Gingrich has a Gift, the ability to clearly answer questions & describe solutions to problems.
Posted on 03/11/2012 10:22:18 AM PDT by mitchell001
After watching today's Sunday News shows this morning, I was struck how gifted Newt Gingrich is in answering questions. On both Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace and on Face the Nation with Bob Sheiffer, Newt smoothly and clearly answered with substance, questions ranging from Afganistan to how to get to $2.50 per gallonn gasoline. Newt also calmly, clearly, truthfully and respectfully answered how he and Santorum differed. My conclusion is that we conservative Americans should wholeheartedly support Newt for President so we can retrieve our rightful place as citizens who can truly have our wishes listened to and implemented by a President who is engaged with the problems of everyday Americans. Newt has a gift and we Americans have a choice. Do we want our children and grandchildren to continue to be made into subjects of elite leaders or do we want to allow Newt to unleash the power of citizenship for us and for our children and grandchildren?
Go Newt! When I saw him last week at the Space and Rocket Center, I was very inspired by his speech. I try to watch his speeches whenever they carry them on CSPAN or other newscasts.
I wish his gift was to get votes. Hopefully Alabama and Mississippi changes that but so far he biggest negative is getting voters to press the button for him.
No question about it. Newt is far superior in dealing with media questions loaded with collectivist, nanny government premises. And his comprehensive slate of plans on energy, taxes, Social Security, are the best.
I just don't understand why he is not the landslide winner in the primaries, except that it seems Romney has the benefit of establishment type Republicans while Santorum is getting the Church Lady contingent. These two groups don't really seem to vote based on specific issues, but rather a personal identification with certain aspects of candidates' expressed values and ideology.
Im absolutely convinced that Newt Gingrich is the junkyard dog we need to rip Obama a new one and send him slinking back to his Chicago slime pit with his tail between his legs. Newt has plenty of DC experience as Speaker, executive ability from his many enterprises, and a silver tongue thats razor sharp! Hes fast on his feet, delivers it straight up with no hemming and hawing, and is often witty. His work with American Solutions was very impressive and as weve seen recently, Newt is able to put into words what the vast majority of Americans really believe. His fevered brain also has plenty of ideas for making government work better for taxpayers. Is Newt pure as new-driven snow? No - none of the presidential candidates are in line for sainthood. Whatever Newts baggage, it pales next to Obamas habitual lying and outright corruption - and unlike Obama, Newt is 100% American! Newt is like Larry the Cable Guy: send him to DC and hell Get er done for all of us. Newt has "Been there, done that! Junkyard dogs are not show dogs, but theyll save your bacon!
I am so damn mad at what Obama and his fawning bootlickers have stolen from us - you should be too - and I want someone to represent me! Newt Gingrich is that man! Sic im, Newt!
Its a pity that the most intelligent and articulate conservative cannot get the nomination. Now if he were a Democrat none of his flaws would be considered much less matter. Just hope Romney has been listening closely and has the guts to go after Obama the way Newt has done.
Santorum is barely ahead of Newt in that category. Less than 2%. Newt's problem is strategy, not getting votes. He's skipped states that were foolish to skip. EXAMPLE: Many of Santorum's voters in Missouri told exit pollsters they were Newt folks who voted Santorum to beat Mitt. In other words, in true voter sentiment, he would probably still be ahead of RS without the stupid strategy of Missouri.
Now if his strategy pays off, in MS and Bama - and I do not predict it will or will not because I never liked this strategy - he would win those two or get a first or second, and give him great chance to win Texas.
At that point, he will be in great shape for over all popular support.
If not, then it will go down as one of the greatest missed opportunities of all time.
The American voter more appreciates looks now; looks, noise and camera friendly heroics. More than a record of accomplishment and historic leadership in blowing up Democrats.
It's puzzling but I don't, really, understand why some Conservatives favor Santorum over Gingrich. Some will tell you that Santorum has "less baggage" than Gingrich, whatever that means; but Gingrich is the more capable. Both of them are Catholic, which means that they believe in repentance and forgiveness. Shouldn't Gingrich be forgiven his "baggage?"
Well there's Newt's continued support of ethanol subsidies, there's his idea that replacing the EPA with another taxpayer funded environmental agency is somehow "conservative". There's the idea that planned parenthood should be defunded and the money given to private adoption services instead of eliminating the funding altogether. There are his attacks on conservatives who spoke up against his support of Dede scozzafava.....
Frankly I have to wonder why if he was the great conservative hope he claims to be, why he didn't rocket to the top and stay there as soon as he entered the race. Its easy to see if you go back and look at the threads from when he announced that he was running.
And Santorum, because of his progressive income tax, better fits the "Socially-Conservative/Fiscally-Liberal" category.
Yep, Romney has McCain's supporters, the folks who have the 'sure bet', and Santorum has the Huckabee evangelicals.
You'll note that none of Newt's supposed "baggage" has kept him from doing more for the Conservative cause than any other person alive today.
Certainly, those who still sit in judgement of him are sitting on their own pile of baggage, and forgetting that those whom God chose to lead his people in the Bible were far from perfect.
If we squander the God given gifts, Vision, and wisdom of Newt Gingrich, we will only hasten our own destruction.
Newt has seen every possible rat attack. He was guilty of nothing when he was run out of the House. It hasn't fazed him.
He knows how to exterminate rats, and if nominated, he will immediately grab Obama by his throat and never stop squeezing.
And yet Newt has the best arguments for a Republican to win.
Romney should have done won hands down being he ran 4 years ago and should have done plenty of preparation in them 4 years;
and a young fella like Santorum should be talking circles around all his opponents Republican and Democrat alike, and the media too, yet he struggles to make a sentence in response to a question.
Newt Gingrich new Ad: Defending Obamneycare
"Remember Obamneycare?
Republicans ran against Obamacare in 2010 and won. How can we run against Obamacare in 2012, if Republicans have to defend Romneycare?"
Hes a fighter. Hes got the right ideas to beat Obama, said Bruce Kocher, a delivery truck driver from Theodore, AL. I found my candidate tonight.
Am I the dumb one here or have the conservative voter's totally lost their minds? GO NEWT! WOOT! WOOT!
Church Lady contingent? Gee aren't you rather prejudiced?
...and I agree with all of you and your excellent points except for a couple.
We need a Patton-esque leader to stand up to the Chicago thuggery of our current (p)Resident - I'm just not sure the others have the straight talk or strategery necessary to get the job done as well.
I was for Palin (08), then Cain (12) and each have backed Gingrich. That additionally convinces me I'm on the right track.
Gingrich/West 2012
It's not that hard to figure out. Social conservatives consider him 100% committed to the causes they care about.
'why some Conservatives favor Santorum over Gingrich.'
Because the media convinces them - by repeating Gingrich's 'baggage' and burying Gingrich's positives, while going easy on Santorum's 'baggage'.
While these consertvative frown on Gingrich's 'baggage', they look for something that appeals to them. Santorum comes in with his saintly talks and together with the media sweep them towards his obama-like image - only this time instead of adoring a 'messiah', they are adoring a saint.
It is not difficult to understand why Newt didn't stay at the top of the race, when Mitt Romney spent over 20 million dollars in Florida alone in a carpet bombing campaign against Newt that was filled with outright lies.
Cripplecreek, you cite that Newt has supported ethanol subsidies, so has Rick. How about pointing out instead Newt's plan for Energy Independence. It is laid out step by step on his website in a 30 minute video. Part of that is getting rid of the EPA that is riddled top to bottom with radical environmentalist. Of course, it has to be replaced with a smaller, streamlined agency of common sense people as a part of our Dept. of Energy. How utterly ridiculous to think that we would have no oversight of our environment or means to implement the Energy Independence so necessary for our economy and national security.
Rick supported funding for Planned Parenthood that had abortion funding in it. His excuse? He "took one for the team".
At least Newt admitted that his endorsement of Scozzafava was a mistake based on bad information. He even apologized to her opponent for his mistake.
Rick has never apologized for backing Arlen Specter, who turned out to be the deciding vote for Obamacare. He instead continues to defend that decision despite the fact that he lost his Senate seat by 18 points.
Newt was responsible for the landslide victory that brought Rick into the House and gave us the first Republican Congress in 40 years. He doesn't claim to be the great conservative hope, he just Is.
CNN interviewed a white haired lady last week, who said that if God wanted Santorum to be the nominee, Santorum would be the nominee, REGARDLESS of delegates. That's the church lady contingent. They just know Santorum home schools his kids, and stands up against Obama trying to force religious institutions to pay for contraceptives. Which is fine and good. But Newt has made the strongest logical and legal arguments about that issue, but it does not seem to matter.
Great, he goes to church, loves his Mommy, and has a nice collection of sweater vests. Woop de Woop. Santorum would be a disaster for the economy and has no clue about foreign policy. We're gonna get stuck with this clown, and Obama will destroy him in the general.
That vehicle is just waaay cool! Thanks for posting!
Can't have any of that, much better to watch to that stuttering moron sweater vest turn beet red after watching a clip of himself come out against contraception because "It's a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to what -- how things are supposed to be".
Good thing Romney supporter Foster Freiss keeps funding good ole sweater vests campaign, at this rate Santorum will take his bizarre sideshow all the way to the convention and then release all of his delegates to the mormon bishop.
Do we need a General or do we need a neighbor?
Maybe he skips states because he does not have the money to hit them all. It is a shame that only the wealthy or people backed by wealth can run or win elections.
But does he split infinitives?
The money is part of it, but that's where I disagree with the allocation. I think you can run cheap media campaigns in places like Kansas, and then take just a handful of votes and let them be magnified by the media - and that will be a better return on the dollar than buying the media markets in Bama and Mississippi.
Santorum just gave away the economy.
Yep - the chickification of our electorate --> looks and emotion over depth and substance.
Gingrich has an "all of the above" approach to energy that has had its major focus on drilling since he framed the issue in 2008.
The fact that ethanol is not highlighted in his 30 minute Energy Video is pretty self explanatory.
Its OK I fully expect the true believers to have methods of rescuing their faith through justification.
Incentives for flex fuel vehicles is nothing like incentives for the Volt. /s
"I wish his gift was to get votes."
However, he does have a solution for this - For the opponents that have more delegates than him to quit the race.
If he can't end up being president, he should heavily lobby to be vice-president. He could easily counter Romney's weakness in the south, he could be a clear conservative voice and and an attach dog where necessary. He could wipe the floor with Biden in a debate (which would be watched more than Romney debating Obama), and best of all, he would again be the head of a legislative body. As president of the senate, he would take command of the legislative process in a body that needs fixing. And neither Reid nor McConnell, whichever is the majority leader, could do nothing about it.
If Gingrich can't be president, Gingrich for Vice-President. Counter Romney's weaknesses with strength, his moderation with conservatism, his executive experience with legislative experience, his politeness with pinpoint honesty, and his northeast and western support with his southern and midwestern support.
Both of you nailed the question as to why some conservatives favor Santorum over Newt.
Pretty good analysis.
Santorum wants to cut social security even though it will be "painful"
And, those that are pro-life know with 100% certainty that Santorum will appoint judges to SCOTUS that will overturn Roe and protect DOMA and marriage. They knew only he can be trusted with 100% certainty rid the military of open homosexuals. If you can't understand why that matters, you're not trying very hard.
Santorum would be a disaster for the economy
Based on what do you make that comment? Santorum will cut taxes, scale back regulations and allow for more exploitation of our natural resources.
Were gonna get stuck with this clown, and Obama will destroy him in the general.
Really? The latest Rasmussen poll shows Santorum ahead of Obama.
Newt is also the only candidate capable, courageous, and crazy enough to rebalance the judiciary, a task absolutely essential to getting this nation back on its feet.
If not, then it will go down as one of the greatest missed opportunities of all time.
One of for sure, but I also thought Fred Thompson was kinda a shame too. He had promise but just couldn't get the campaigning down.
He is a teacher by profession, and can explain complex issues in simple terms. He is a problem solver, and thinks things through. He is a gift to this country as few others are, and he would be a brilliant, insightful, and eloquent president.
But, alas, there are not enough intelligent people in this country who understand or appreciate his genius. What a gift he would be at this time in history when we need a firm and measured leader who truly understands our problems, our government, and our history inside and out.

Ron Roenicke moves Rickie Weeks down two spots in batting order
Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said his decision to drop Rickie Weeks from fifth to seventh in the lineup Wednesday night was about production as well as trying to take some pressure off his slumping second baseman.
"A little of both, I think," Roenicke said. "It's tough."
Weeks came into Wednesday hitting .193 with two home runs and nine runs batted in and led the Brewers with 38 strikeouts. One homer and five of those RBI came in one game April 30, a 12-8 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He opened the year strong hitting second in the lineup, but when Aramis Ramirez was lost for a month to a sprained left knee, Weeks bounced back and forth between the fourth and fifth spots and never appeared comfortable.
His .308 on-base percentage is buoyed somewhat by a team-high 18 walks, but overall this is the second consecutive season the 2011 All-Star Game starter has gotten off to a miserable start.
With 133 plate appearances and 114 at-bats already in the books for Weeks, Roenicke was asked at what point numbers go from being labeled as a slow start to a trend.
"I don't know at what point. It probably depends on who that player is," he said.
"Aramis got off to that slow start last year. I think where you are in the lineup, what your history is (factors in). We knew Aramis was going to hit, so I think you stick with a guy longer that you know has a history of doing well and is an important part of the lineup.
"Rick's always hit. I think Rick will hit. I started him at second, moved him to fourth and then fifth, and somewhere in there, there has to be production for the team. More important in the long run is, how do we get him swinging?
"He's going to hit. He shows that he hits every year. I know last year, tough first half, good second half. But his history is he's going to hit. So it's just kind of how to get him started in that direction as soon as we can."
And the way to get Weeks swinging again, Roenicke believes, is to continue to play him every day.
"When he's sitting on the bench, he's not a guy that's like, 'Whew, I'm glad to have a night off.' That's not him," Roenicke said. "He's thinking, 'If I was in there right now, maybe I'd get it going.' That's where you have to know the personalities.
"I'm not always going to be right in what I do. But thinking about him and his personality, that's what I'm thinking right now. But that may change in a couple days. I may see something else and decide to give him a day. I don't know."
Weeks went hitless in his first three at-bats in Wednesday's loss to Texas and was booed by the crowd of 22,616. He was taken out of the game as part of a double switch. Roenicke said Weeks' removal had nothing to do with his play.
"I don't do that anyway - not in a game," Roenicke said.
Strong and fast: The Brewers established themselves as offensively diverse in 2012, when they became the first team since the 1996 Colorado Rockies to lead the National League in runs scored, home runs and stolen bases.
This season, they rank fourth in the NL with 38 homers despite being without Ramirez for a month and with Corey Hart on the disabled list from the outset.
They remain especially adept at small ball, as well.
The Brewers not only lead the NL in stolen bases with 27, they also pace the major leagues with 43 infield hits through 31 games.
Jean Segura and Norichika Aoki are tied for the individual lead with 10 apiece, while Ryan Braun is tied for sixth with seven. Carlos Gomez, the Brewers' fastest player, picked up his fifth in the fourth inning Wednesday.
Aoki also leads the majors with four bunt hits.
For Roenicke, who likes to bunt and has espoused an aggressive style of base running since taking over in 2011, having multiple players who can leg out hits is just another way to generate offense.
"Some of that is bunt hits," he said. "Nori is kind of a swing-and-run guy, so he's going to beat out some infield hits. 'Braunie' gets some because he's fast; 'Seggy' gets some because he's fast.
"I think it just works out to where with the personnel we have, that we get down the line pretty good."
The Brewers managed to leg out three infield hits in the fifth inning Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Reliever Alfredo Figaro, of all people, drove in the Brewers' only run with one, and Segura and Braun each followed with one to load the bases.
Getting closer:Chris Narveson, on the disabled list with a sprained left middle finger since April 8, is scheduled for a flat-ground bullpen session Friday when the Brewers arrive in Cincinnati.
"Getting there," he said. "Long-tossing now. A couple more days of long-tossing and then throwing some flat-grounds and then we'll see where we're at."

Call for chapters for proposed volume "Curried Cultures: Globalization, Food and South Asia."
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
We call for papers towards an edited volume tentatively titled Curried Cultures: Globalization, Food and South Asia.
Globalization makes national boundaries porous, as people, culture, goods, and ideas, move from one part of the world to another. New links are forged between the social structure and economy, between global markets and local governments, and between diverse cultures and peoples. During the process of globalization, the categories of the 'local' and the 'global' which were previously distinct, now become increasingly interwoven and problematized. This volume seeks to explore these changing categories in the globalizing world, by using the production and consumption of food, in and of South Asia as a lens with special emphasis on identity formation and maintenance.
The preparation and consumption of food affects various aspects of identity such as ethnic affiliation, gender constructs, notions of hierarchy, regional, micro regional, caste, and class based affiliations, national identity and so on. Food can be used variously as a signifier of cosmopolitanism, globalism, localism, traditionalism, or nationalism, and this book will discuss these various ideas with specific ethnographic examples located in of South Asia.
We are interested in papers that focus on a number of themes:
• The entry of multi national food corporations into South Asia and the response to these foods
• The rise of a global food industry in South Asia
• South Asian foods and Identity
• The history of South Asian foods and spices, and their globalization through colonization
• The Mughal empire, travel and food
• The British Empire, colonial discourse and food
• South Asian urbanism and street food
• Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants and the politics of the diaspora in the UK, Australia and the Middle East
• Women, food and the family: contemporary ethnographies
• The South Asian diasporic family and the relationship to food, and culture
• Nostalgia, the homeland and identity enacted and performed through food
• Menus, cookbooks and the reading of the diasporic condition
• Micro regional and caste based foods in South Asia and their global faces
• Nepali cuisine with its many variations, rural and urban divides
• Sri Lankan cuisine, travel and the exoticization of south Asian food
• Bangladeshi cuisine, chefs and international food markets
• Pakistani cuisine, specialty restaurants and the Middle East markets
• The popularity of South Asian "curry" in Japan and other Asian countries
• The recent popularity of South Asian foods and their connections (perceived or otherwise) with a medical therapeutic politics of being
• The politics of authenticity and the return to "indigenous" foods
• The emergent agro industry in South Asia and the changing face of urban food
• Urban foods of South Asia and their globalization
• The exoticization of South Asian foods, travel and new forms of representation
• Any other themes of interest

Zora Neale Hurston
Jan. 7, 1891
Macon County
Alabama, USA
Jan. 28, 1960
Fort Pierce
St. Lucie County
Florida, USA
Acclaimed author and anthropologist. The daughter of Baptist preacher/carpenter John Hurston and former schoolteacher Lucy Potts Hurston, Zora Neale Hurston was born on January 7th, 1891, the fifth of eight children. Long believed to have been born in Eatonville, Florida (stated to have been the first "all black" town incorporated in the U.S.), subsequent research has shown that she was actually born in Notasulga, Alabama, although her family relocated to Eatonville when she was very young, where her father would later be elected three times as mayor. Hurston herself was the source of several varying dates for her birth, leading to conflicting accounts in biographies until census records finally established that she was in fact born in 1891. Hurston's mother died when she was thirteen and, coupled with her father's remarriage, this undoubtedly led to her wandering spirit. Accounts of her young teenage years place her living in the households of various relatives, working as a maid for whites, and serving as a wardrobe girl for a traveling Gilbert & Sullivan performance company. Eventually she enrolled at Morgan Academy (now Morgan State University) in Baltimore, again working as a maid. In the fall of 1918 she enrolled at Howard University in Washington, DC where she took classes off and on until 1924. The year 1925 found her in New York City where she became one of the contributors of the Harlem Renaissance, her contemporaries including Langston Hughes, Countée Cullen, and W.E.B. DuBois. Although early works such as her short story "John Redding Goes to Sea" (1921) had been published while at Howard, it was after her initial arrival in New York that she eventually succeeded in having such works published as "Sweat" (1926), "How It Feels to Be Colored Me" (1928), "The Gilded Six-Bits" (1933), "Jonah's Gourd Vine" (1934), "Mules and Men" (1935), "Tell My Horse" (1937), and perhaps her best-known work, "Their Eyes Were Watching God" (1937). During this period Hurston attended Barnard College on a scholarship, later meeting noted anthropologist Franz Boas who encouraged her to pursue a degree in anthropology. Coupled with a fellowship from the Carter G. Woodson Foundation and later with financial support from arts patron Charlotte Osgood Mason, Hurston pursued fieldwork in her native south, collecting folklore and other material in Alabama and Florida. She received her degree in anthropology from Barnard College in 1928. In 1932 Hurston created a concert program of African-American art at Rollins College in Florida. Later, while traveling the country presenting various musical revues, she was offered a fellowship to pursue a doctorate degree in anthropology and folklore at Columbia University. Although she initially accepted the offer, she later backed out of the program, preferring to work on other projects. (She would later receive an honorary Litt.D. degree from Morgan College in 1939). In late 1935 / early 1936 she received a Guggenheim fellowship, leading to her gathering of folklore in the Caribbean for "Tell My Horse" (1937), her second book of folklore. In late 1941/early 1942 Hurston served as a story consultant for Paramount Studios, and not long afterward published her autobiography, "Dust Tracks on a Road" (1942). Numerous essays and magazine articles followed, appearing in such publications as "The Saturday Evening Post" and "Reader's Digest." During World War II, Hurston lived in St. Augustine, Florida and taught part-time at Florida Norman College. Receiving rejections for her next few novels, it would be several years before Hurston would again be published with her book "Seraph on the Suwanee" (1948). It would prove to be her last novel. After residing in New York again in the late 1940s, the 1950s found her living in Florida and drifting into obscurity, working for brief periods as a librarian or a reporter, but most often as a maid. In 1959 she suffered a stroke and subsequently entered the St. Lucie County Welfare Home in Ft. Pierce, Florida, where she died on January 28th, 1960, penniless. A collection was taken up for her funeral, and she was buried in an unmarked grave in the segregated cemetery Garden of Heavenly Rest in Ft. Pierce. By the late 1970s, interest in Zora Neale Hurston and her writings had begun to receive attention once again, thanks in no small part to noted writer Alice Walker, who had penned a forward about Hurston in Robert E. Hemenway's "Zora Neale Hurston: A Literary Biography" (1977) and who would continue to honor Hurston as a significant voice in American literature. In the years that followed, the University of Florida has created the Zora Neale Hurston Fellowship in Anthropology, the city of Orlando has named a city building after her, the community of Eatonville has held the Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities annually since 1989 and has also erected the Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts. In 1973 her grave was adorned with a headstone placed there by Alice Walker which reads, "Zora Neale Hurston – A Genius of the South – 1901*-1960 – Novelist – Folklorist – Anthropologist." *(Based on early misinformation. Her true birth year was 1891).

From the Department of Foreign Affairs
Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs Jesus Yabes, who is visiting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from June 20, 2013 to July 05, 2013, visited the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh's field office in Um Al-Hammam district on June 25, 2013.
Undersecretary Yabes was with Philippine Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Ezzedin Tago during the ocular inspection.
The field office was opened by the Embassy to extend the documentary needs of Filipinos who are correcting their status in the Kingdom. The Embassy initially extended services at the Elite International School and the International Philippine School in Riyadh (IPSR).
During his visit to the field office, Undersecretary Jesus Yabes spoke with several women with children who were being processed at the field office by a specialized inter-agency team from Saudi authorities.
Filipinos who applied for lost passports at Elite International School, the IPSR or at the field office should claim their new passport at the Um Al-Hammam Office. They may check availability of their passport on the Embassy's website. So far, the Embassy has encoded 2,860 passport renewals and 4,972 replacement passports.
The Embassy has already released 3,982 of these passports, and urges those who have not claimed their new passports to do so at the Um Al-Hammam Office.

Handshakes are optional on Saturday.
When two of the coaching icons of college basketball match wits in the Final Four, there will be no pregame conversation or postgame hugs. Rick Pitino of Louisville and John Calipari of Kentucky dont send each other Christmas cards.
It wasnt always that way. When Pitino was a 20-year-old counselor at summer basketball camp 39 years ago, Calipari was a 14-year camper Pitino befriended. Their relationship was solid enough that Pitino later convinced the University of Massachusetts, his alma mater, to give Calipari has first head coaching job. Legend has it that Pitino even kicked in $5,000 to close the deal.
The Calipari camp now insists that didnt happen.
What has happened during the years is the erosion of a relationship. Nobody is really sure why, other than the prevailing theory that the build-up to the 1996 Final Four, when Pitino was coaching Kentucky and Calipari was at UMass, led to a growing distrust of each other.
Pitino won the game, 81-74, and went on to win the national championship over Syracuse at the then-Continental Arena in the Meadowlands.
What makes their breakup even more curious is that Pitino and Calipari are a lot alike. Theyre committed to their jobs. They demand a lot of themselves and their players. Theyre accomplished recruiters. They are the only coaches to lead three schools to Final Fours: Pitino with Providence, Kentucky and Louisville, and Calipari with Massachusetts, Memphis and Kentucky. Theyre the top two paid coaches in the country: Pitino No. 1 and Calipari No. 2, just ahead of Mike Krzyzewski of Duke, who has a lot more national championships.
The only difference may be Pitinos penchant for $800 Italian suits. Calipari is a little less stylish.
Their recruiting experiences are legend.
Pitinos first job was an assistant at Syracuse. When Jim Boeheim called him and asked him to go to Chicago to recruit Louis Orr, who later became a Knick and Seton Halls coach, Pitino left his wife behind in Hawaii where they were honeymooning. Then there was the published report, which Calipari supporters insist is false, that when a recruit told Cal, then a young assistant at Pittsburgh, that he decided he was going to attend St. Johns, Calipari told the teenager that he shouldnt because Lou Carnesecca had cancer. Which, of course, he didnt.
The story, true or false, adds to Caliparis reputation as a Jerry Tarkanian-like rebel. Massachusetts and Memphis each had to vacate its Final Four appearance because of recruiting violations that occurred on Cals watch. But when the sanctions went down, Calipari was gone from Massachusetts to the Nets and from Memphis to Kentucky.
Now he and Pitino face each other in a yearly regular-season game, which Kentucky won this season. There are Kentucky fans who still feel Pitino was a traitor for leaving Lexington for his ill-fated run with the Boston Celtics. So you can imagine the atmosphere in the Bluegrass state as the Final Four approaches.
There are no NFL, NBA, NHL or Major League Baseball teams in Kentucky. Theres horse racing and college basketball. And with the Kentucky Derby still five weeks away, basketball is all consuming.
There will be people that will have a nervous breakdown if they lose to us, Pitino said Saturday after the Cardinals rallied to beat Florida in the West regional final. Theyve got to put fences on bridges. There will be people consumed by Louisville.
Including Calipari, who has more than a million Kentucky fans following him on Twitter. After his near-miss at Memphis, he is consumed with winning his first national championship. Hes a better coach than his critics give him credit for, and he remarkably gets his McDonalds All-Americans, who usually stay only for one season, to play hard, especially defensively.
Calipari has more talent than Pitino has. This is the same Louisville team that lost to Providence, the 15th best team in the 16-team Big East, by 31 on Jan. 10. Pitino has done one of his best coaching jobs.
Calipari, however, has the talent. Should Cal get the best of him and go on to win his elusive national championship, Pitino will have to wait for next seasons regular-season game, provided Calipari doesnt jump to the NBA (Knicks?).
Pitino insists hes not going anywhere. Except maybe to give Calipari a cold-fish congratulatory handshake after Saturdays game.

Disaster declared in seven countiesAugust 05,2013Disaster declared in seven counties
WATERBURY President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in seven counties in Vermont including Rutland and Windsor stemming from severe storms earlier this summer.
The declaration makes the counties of Caledonia, Chittenden, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, Washington and Windsor eligible for federal assistance for public infrastructure damage after heavy rain and flooding between June 25 and July 11.
The declaration allows communities in those counties to receive at least 75 percent federal reimbursement for repairs to public roads, bridges, and other infrastructure that was damaged during the storm. In addition, all counties are eligible to apply for assistance for work to prevent or reduce long-term risk from natural hazards.
I appreciate the help from President Obama, and the hard work of our federal congressional delegation, to ensure Vermont communities get the assistance they need to recover from these storms and flooding, said Gov. Peter Shumlin. Vermont has been pounded by storms, high winds and flooding this spring and summer. This federal aid is critical for town rebuilding and prevention work.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont State Colleges System Board of Trustees voted unanimously Thursday to...

Scripture, or in other words the written teachings of the Prophets and Apostles, is a static thing. St Paul's writings aren't goint to change. Nor is the Mosaic Law.
Tradition is dynamic. We are constantly adding to it. As a result, it evolves. All churches have tradition - even ones that claim they do not. Protestants would correctly point out that age does not mean correct. Just because it was written or done a long time ago does not mean it's right. They would also point out that repetition doesn't mean it's right. A group may have "always done it that way", but they may have always done it wrong.
Most importantly, we must make sure we do not allow the Faith to evolve. Tradition, by its nature, evolves - even in Orthodox churches. We must be vigilant in making sure the evolution of tradition does not cause an evolutin in the Faith.
I really am not aware of many Protestants who would offer a blanket rejection of anything written by a Christian after the New Testament. One thing to keep in mind is that many Protestants - especially in this country - come from a tradition when the only book available to a household was the Bible. People like my antebellum ancestors in central Georgia simply didn't have access to a complete anthology of the Apostolic Fathers.
The Holy Tradition is not dynamic. Things like liturgical rubrics are dynamic and do change, but the "the faith once delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3) does not change and that is what the Holy Tradition is. The Holy Scripture is a derivative of it.

Idea of the Day: The Murray Budget Is a Healthy Economic Alternative to the Ryan Budget
If you wanted to design a budget plan that would help accelerate the economic recovery, promote job creation, lay the foundations for future growth, and set federal finances on a sustainable course for the foreseeable future, what would it look like? First and foremost, you'd probably want to make sure not to do anything that would actually hamper the economy—or in medical parlance: First, do no harm. So that should rule out immediate massive cuts. Second, you'd want to protect—and probably even enhance—critical investments in things such as infrastructure, science, and education. Third, you'd want to pursue modest, responsible changes in future fiscal policies so that the national debt doesn't rise faster than economic growth. And you'd certainly want to accomplish the latter without unduly burdening the middle class—and without making it harder for people in poverty to reach the middle class.
In other words, if you wanted to design a pro-growth budget, it would look absolutely nothing like the budget that was released earlier this week by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). It might, however, look much more akin to the one released yesterday by Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA).

About Tempo Milwaukee
Since its inception in 1975, TEMPO Milwaukee has left an indelible mark on the city with its signature events - including its Mentor Awards Luncheon and Leadership Forum, professional development opportunities, and its Women's Affinity Alliance. At nearly 300 members strong, TEMPO Milwaukee has developed a reputation for accelerating, advancing, and elevating women leaders in the community and serves as a viable resource with members holding CEO, executive level, and leadership positions.
To further the impact of women leaders in our community.
A society where women hold an equal place in leadership, policy, and decision-making.
In 1975, most women, regardless of talent, competence or position were kept outside of the city's power structure. On February 6, 1975, a handful of women set out to change the landscape for women. They gathered to participate in the first TEMPO Business and Professional Women's Club of Milwaukee Wisconsin which has grown and evolved into what is known today as TEMPO Milwaukee. The hope of the founding members was to create a society where women hold an equal place in leadership, policy, and decision making. The organization has remained true to its foundational mission and continues to evolve as the business landscape in Milwaukee changes. TEMPO Milwaukee looks to the future as an opportunity to grow and create more awareness of the organization.

A great deal depends on how the director of a play and an actor interpret a line. For instance, consider the Sergeant's last line in "The Rising of the Moon". "A hundred pounds reward! A hundred pounds! (Turns toward the audience) I wonder, now, am I as great a fool as I think I am?" Try reading this line in a couple of different ways, first earnestly as if the Sergeant is really upset, then jokingly, as if he is lightly considering the money.

Just tried it, got the same results, but fixed it in a really odd and simple way.
Once in a car, select Independence FM. It'll start playing faster than normal. What I did at this point was enter the pause menu, go to Audio, and manually scroll away from Independence FM and then back to it 2 times. On the second time I came back to Independence, it started playing like normal. It was weird, but that's how I got it to work.
You may want to try the same, see how it fares for you. You'll have to do it every time you open up the game, though.
I tried your process and it didn't seem to work, unfortunately.
I guess I need to re-rip my old CDs into MP3s instead of M4As.
