[UNDER-20 WOMEN'S WORLD CUP] Tony DiCicco, who led the USA to the 1999 Women's World Cup, will hope to add the Under-20 Women's World Cup to his trophy case when the Americans compete at this year's world championship, which begins Wednesday in Chile with a game against France (TV, live, ESPN2, 1 p.m. ET; delay, Galavision, 6 p.m. ET/PT).
Many of college soccer's top players are skipping the NCAA Division I Women's Tournament to compete in Chile. A total of 17 different universities are represented on the U.S. roster. Portland, with their trio of Michelle Enyeart, Elli Reed and Keelin Winters and North Carolina, represented by Meghan Klingenberg and Nikki Washington, are the only two schools to send more than one player to Chile.
Due to the overlap of the event with the NCAA season, stars Kelley O'Hara (Stanford) and Casey Nogueira (North Carolina), both part of the team that successfully qualified for the tournament in June are not able to travel to Chile because of commitments to their college programs.
Olympic gold-medalist Tobin Heath was also eligible for Chile '08 but is competing with North Carolina.
U.S. Roster
GOALKEEPERS:Chantel Jones (Virginia), Alyssa Naeher (Penn State), Cat Parkhill (Minnesota)
DEFENDERS:Kiersten Dallsteam (Washington State), Kaley Fountain (Wake Forest), Lauren Fowlkes (Notre Dame), Liz Harkin (Arizona State), Meghan Klingenberg (North Carolina), Nikki Marshall (Colorado)
MIDFIELDERS:Gina DiMartino (Boston College), Becky Edwards (Florida State), Christine Nairn (Bowie, Md.), Elli Reed (Portland), Ingrid Wells (Georgetown), Keelin Winters (Portland)
FORWARDS: Michelle Enyeart (Portland), Sydney Leroux (UCLA), Alyssa Mautz (Texas A&M), Alex Morgan (California), Nikki Washington (North Carolina)

The temple city of Madurai is situated on the banks of the River Vaigai. Madurai is now the second largest city in Tamil Nadu, and is among the most important pilgrimages for Hindus.

08 03/2012Fish Cafe Terrace
Manly's favourite fish restaurant, The Fish Cafe, are about to open an exciting new alfresco dining area aptly named Fish Cafe Terrace. To get things underway, the Barramundi Boys needed to extend the current Fish Cafe branding to suit the relaxed, open air atmosphere of their new venture.
To this end we created the 'Terrace' logo using a cool marine blue and a sweeping 'T' that keeps the original Fish Cafe brand tucked under it's wing.
Working on the mouthwatering new menu made us want to take too many long lunches… but hey, we figure it's wise to have an in depth understanding of the products and services that stand behind the brands we work on ; )

Insurance Broker Bought in $4 Billion Deal
Hub International Changes Private-Equity Hands, as Hellman & Friedman Buys the Chicago Firm From a Rival
Private-equity firm Hellman & Friedman LLC agreed to acquire insurance brokerage Hub International Ltd. for more than $4 billion from a rival buyout firm, in a deal that will help the Chicago broker continue its rapid expansion, including a bigger move into Latin America.
The deal values the insurance brokerage at $4.4 billion, and includes a $1.7 billion equity contribution from San Francisco-based Hellman & Friedman and the firm's management, people familiar with the matter said. The remainder is being funded by debt Hellman & Friedman is raising.
Buyout firm Apax Partners and Morgan Stanley's MS 1.03 % buyout arm took the company private in 2007 for about $2 billion, and have realized a profit of about three times their investment, according to a person familiar with their investment.
The sale of an asset from one private-equity firm to another is known in industry parlance as a "secondary deal." In the past few years, this type of deal has increasingly been fueling the buyout industry. In 2012, secondary buyouts made up 38% of all global private-equity deals, the highest percentage in the past decade and by dollar amount the most since 2007, according to data-provider Dealogic.
Hellman & Friedman's deal for Hub nearly equals the biggest secondary deal of the year, behind BC Partners Ltd.'s $4.41 billion deal for publishing company Springer Science + Business Media AG, according to the data provider. It is the biggest secondary buyout of a financial-services company in the past five years, Dealogic said.
Under the agreement, investment funds managed by Hellman & Friedman will hold a majority interest in the company, while members of Hub's senior management will continue to have a significant equity position.
Hub, which has more than 6,500 employees in the U.S., Canada and Brazil, is expected to report 2013 revenue of about $1.2 billion, after the annualized impact of acquisitions.
The deal will help the insurance brokerage, one of the 15 biggest in the U.S., push further into Latin America, said Hub Chief Executive Martin Hughes. The insurance-brokerage business "is highly fragmented, despite the fact we have been highly acquisitive" in recent years, he said. "The opportunity is enormous" to make more deals.
The company has 300 offices across the U.S. and Canada, and it has a presence in Puerto Rico and Brazil, with an acquisition there in late 2011. "You would expect to see expansion from us in Latin America," Mr. Hughes said.
Hub works primarily with midsize companies, lining up their property-casualty coverage and employee-benefits packages, among other services.
Hellman & Friedman has focused on several industries, including media, financial services and technology.
Over the years, numerous private-equity funds have been buyers of insurance brokers, which require minimal capital investment. Among the most successful deals remains KKR & Co.'s 1998 purchase of Willis Group Holdings Ltd. for about $300 million, which it later turned into a $1.2 billion gain in an initial public offering in 2001.
With low interest rates making debt easy to raise, the private-equity industry has been eager to find new deals, but corporations have been less willing to sell themselves. That has led the industry to look to rivals to acquire businesses, sometimes even purchasing assets they have sold before.
Last November, KKR agreed to buy insurance brokerage Alliant Insurance Services Inc. from Blackstone Group LP for an undisclosed price. Blackstone itself had bought the company from a third private-equity firm, New York's Lindsay Goldberg. Blackstone's purchase of Alliant came only months after Hub International was bought by Apax in 2007.
Mitch Truwit, a partner at Apax said, "We are proud of Hub International's tremendous growth—achieved both organically and by executing a disciplined M&A program—since our acquisition in 2007, and believe the company has exceptional opportunities before it."
Hub's "growing market footprint and capabilities will allow it to capitalize on significant opportunities going forward," said David Tunnell, managing director of Hellman & Friedman.
The deal is expected to be completed before year-end.
Earlier this year, Hub acquired the assets of Shreveport, La.-based employee benefits brokerage firm Benefit Concepts Inc. for an undisclosed amount.

A weekly examination of the Falcons' ESPN.com Power Ranking:
Preseason: 4 | Last Week: 29 | ESPN.com Power Ranking since 2002
Well, at least the Falcons didn't drop to the bottom of the ESPN.com Power Rankings.
They did, however, fall one spot to No. 30 after dropping to 2-8 following a 41-28 loss to Tampa Bay. The only teams below the Falcons right now are the Minnesota Vikings (2-8) and Jacksonville Jaguars (1-9).
The Falcons haven't exactly thrown in the towel, but they've started to make significant lineup changes such as benching right guard Garrett Reynolds, moving center Peter Konz to right guard, then benching Konz in favor of Reynolds -- all in the same game.
It's been that kind of season.
It's not in coach Mike Smith's character to surrender completely, but the Falcons no doubt have visions of a top-5 draft pick in the back of their minds. They could sorely use some help along the offensive and defensive lines. But Jadeveon Clowney might not be the answer, no matter how much hype surrounds the South Carolina defensive lineman.
With six games remaining in the season, the Falcons will be hard-pressed to finish above .500. They have games remaining against three teams ranked in the top 10 of the ESPN.com Power Rankings: the Saints (No. 4), Panthers (No. 5) and 49ers (No. 9).
The Falcons haven't had a losing season since Smith took over in 2008. Now they're on a four-game losing streak.

Noses made in Britain: U.K. touts lab-grown organs
LONDON -- In a north London hospital, scientists are growing noses, ears and blood vessels in a bold attempt to make body parts in the laboratory.
It's far from the only lab in the world that is pursuing the futuristic idea of growing organs for transplant. But the London work was showcased Tuesday as Mayor Boris Johnson announced a plan to attract more labs to do cutting-edge health and science research in the area.
While only a handful of patients have received the British lab-made organs so far -- including tear ducts, blood vessels and windpipes -- researchers hope they will soon be able to transplant more types of body parts into patients, including what would be the world's first nose made partly from stem cells.
British authorities have invested nearly $6.7 million in the plan to stimulate research in the London-Oxford-Cambridge area.

In its continuing efforts to improve its next generation
operating system, Microsoft has released another interim build of
Windows Vista to testers. Build 5456 is a rather large jump from Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384.4)
and offers a number of improvements which are sure to be welcomed by users. NeoSmart Blog reports:
Some of the new features include a revamped Aero/DWM
subsystem, and a completely overhauled and significantly less obtrusive UAP for
all those that couldn't stand the previous one. From what we have been told by
Microsoft, the Time Zone bug that plagued all most all previous builds of
Windows Vista has been fixed and works great now, and quite a few fixes in the
Regional Settings and IME are now implemented. And for the first time since
Windows 3.0 Microsoft has finally announced that new mouse cursors will be made
available for Windows - something they promised to do in XP with "Watercolors"
but failed to deliver for internal reasons!
Of all of the improvements made to this build, the less
intrusive User Access Protection (UAP) has to be on the biggest pluses. Vista's
UAP scheme has been
catching a lot of flak and Microsoft has seen it fit to gradually make the
system less and less obnoxious.
Vista beta testers can download the new build immediately
from the Windows Connect website.
The rest of you folks will just have to wait until Microsoft releases another
public build.
In other Vista news comes word that Microsoft has decided to
drop its plans to offer Windows Future Storage (WinFS) as a future update to
the operating system -- WinFS Beta 2 has been also cancelled. WinFS was the
name for the new file system that was supposed to debut with the shipping
version of Windows Vista. Over the course of Vista's long gestation period,
WinFS was dropped from the feature count then later brought back to life when
it was announced that the file system would be available
at a later date as a system upgrade for Vista.
WinFS, which is based on Microsoft SQL Server technology,
was supposed to do
away with traditional file/folder hierarchy. From Betanews:
For example, no longer would documents
need to be stored in My Documents or images in My Pictures; instead, Windows would
simply display the files associated with a particular request on demand. In
addition, WinFS could store structured data such as contacts, calendars and
As for the future of WinFS and other Windows technologies, lead
programmer Quentin Clark goes on to air out his
thoughts on his blog:
Of course, there are
other aspects of the WinFS vision that we are continuing to incubate – areas
not quite as mature as the work we are now targeting for Katmai and
ADO.NET. Since WinFS is no longer being delivered as a standalone
software component, people will wonder what that means with respect to the
Windows platform. Just as Vista pushed forward on many aspects of the
search and organize themes of the Longhorn WinFS effort, Windows will continue
to adopt work as it's ready. We will continue working the innovations,
and as things mature they will find their way into the right product experiences
– Windows and otherwise. Having so much ready for SQL Server and ADO.NET
is a big impact on the platform, and more will come.
quote: under heavy competition
quote: My thoughts exactly ! WinFS was a big thing and now it's gone. Well... At least there's still the "core" Vista, which is starting to like a re-skinned XP.
By the way, which vista feature has not been seen in Mac OS X two years ago...
quote: DX 10 could have been implemented to XP so it's an artificial Vista feature...
quote: so, if it is... then it would need basically the same drivers as XP, when it runs dX 9 and then new ones for dX 10, but surely those would work just fine with XP?
quote: When you run a DX9 game on this configuration, DX10 converts the DX9 calls from the game into DX10
quote: This is incorrect. Vista contains both DX9 and DX10. When a DX9 (or earlier) program is run DX9 run nativly. There isn't a translation layer in Dx10.

I'd like to see any of you do any better with so many hackers after your software. Some of you crow about how secure OSX and Linux are. I say I doubt it, it's just that they aren't significant enough to warrant a barrage like Windows gets. I think MS does a pretty good job. MS naysayers don't have to use Windows, and they should find another hobby as their whining act has grown tiresome.
quote: I've been using Vista Beta 2 for several days and LOVE it! It is so pretty too. It actually fixed some driver issues I had with XP.
quote: I know plenty of people with no or little PC experience . I often hear them complaining that their PC is a piece of junk .
quote: Why ? Well because of Windows XP . It's the kind of OS that mess up everything on your PC if you don't have too much experience . It can get jammed up if you install too much ( and you can install anything ) .
quote: You need tons of programs just to keep it running . Antispam , firewall , antivirus , registry cleaner .... and the list could go on .
quote: All in all I like XP and while i'm not crazy about Vista to this point, history would imply that it will be an improvement over the current OS.
quote: As for OSX, as much as I love it, it's a totally different beast than Windows. OSX is on an 18 month upgrade schedule, and this sounds great until you realize that Apple wants $129 every 18 months to go with it. That's a pretty costly upgrade schedule, and one that perhaps has questionable value for the extra features). When you compare Apple's approach to the MS model, Vista doesn't look as bad.
quote: He states that they will integrate some of what they learned into the next version of sql server which i find hard to believe since thing about what winFS does and think about what sql server does

I question the sanity of anyone who thinks Batman 2 had better flying.
Flying is still wonky in Lego Marvel, but you at least have some control of where you are going. I found as long as you only tap directions to make adjustments, you won't make random 180' turns or fly into the ground.
"Those who want everything will end up with nothing."--Lulu, FFX
I had no problem with the fly controls for Lego Batman except when i needed to do something precise like go up a little bit or go down a little bit.
Marvel is the opposite. I can do things like go up and down a little bit with ease but it gets wonky when i am moving fast.
I think both flight controls suck pretty bad though.
Gamertag - Brokeslimjim v2 / PSN - Brokeslimjim
Can they be better? Certainly. Trying to turn quickly is a hot mess. That being said, they're not horrible. They have a learning curve, and you need to be precise with your movements rather than just lumbering around through the sky.
Only the strongest will survive; lead me to heaven when we die. I am a shadow on the wall; I'll be the one to save us all.
i don't understand why the developers insist on shoe horning all controls the face buttons like 'X' and 'O'. It would have made more since to let us use the right stick to control ascending and descending, while the left stick controlled directional movement. Basically the way flight controls in almost every other game. >_<

Just tap X twice instead of holding X the second time. You can also level out by using the O button.

Agreed. No real issues with flight controls in Lego Batman 2. This game... I don't think there's any way I'm going to get the mid-air race bricks.
Neither batman 2 or marvel heroes games have good flying mechanics. Wonder why is it so hard for developers to make a person fly in the game.

Ben Bernanke says that the U.S. economy has improved considerably since the financial crisis started in 2008, but that the recovery has a way to go.
The departing Federal Reserve chairman told a standing-room crowd at the Philadelphia Marriott in Center City on Friday that despite "unusually high" long-term unemployment, the headwinds that slowed the economy "may now be abating."
Bernanke, 60, reflected on his eight years as chief of the U.S. central bank at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association, a confab of 12,000 academic, business, government, and not-for-profit economists at the Convention Center through Sunday.
Bernanke's second four-year term as central bank chief expires Jan. 31, and Janet Yellen, the Fed's vice chairman, will succeed him Feb. 1 if confirmed by the Senate, which is expected to vote Monday.

Jamaican-bred reggae and dancehall artist Yellowman has been an underdog for most of his 57 years.
Born Winston Foster in 1956 in Kingston, the now-iconic singer, songwriter and DJ was given to a Catholic orphanage soon after birth, where he was often excluded both inside and outside of the orphanage due in large part to his albinism.
After winning a talent contest in the late '70s, Yellowman was born, becoming a fast-rising DJ around Jamaica's outdoor dance circuit.
In the early '80s, he was given the first U.S.-based record contract to a dancehall artist by Columbia Records, ensuring his legacy in a long line of Jamaican music royalty.
Throughout the '80s, Yellowman would release an average of five albums each year, despite a cancer diagnosis that was initially predicted to end the young musician's life in less than three years.
He created 40 singles largely based on the sexualized style of American hip-hop and other dancehall artists, a fact that made his samples popular with such American musicians as Eazy-E, Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Sublime, Mos Def and others.
By the mid-'90s, however, a wiser and more mature Yellowman began focusing on the riddled social climate of his native country and the world he experienced as an international touring artist.
Though a new album has not been released since 2005, Yellowman remains one of the most iconic and well-respected living dancehall and reggae artists.
Yellowman will perform Tuesday at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway, with The Dub Plates. Tickets are $20 in advance, $22 the day of the show, and are available at the door or online at Etix.com. Doors open at 8 p.m. with the show staring at 9 p.m.
Call 571-4343 or go to CharlestonPourHouse.com.
Skye Paige and The Original Recipe
Raised in Atlanta, where the South often mingles with outside cultures and influences, Skye Paige has the special ability to understand both the dusty back roads of country music and the neon glow of big-city rock.
It's a perspective that has lent itself to both her music and her burlesque shows.
Now living in Charleston, Paige injects her blues and country roots with a sultry shot of rock 'n' roll and '50s pin-up fashion.
It's not all about image with Paige, however, as the singer/songwriter and guitarist took home first place at the House of Blues Battle of the Blues in 2009.
Skye Paige and The Original Recipe will perform Thursday at The Windjammer, 1008 Ocean Blvd.
Tickets are $5 at the door, which open at 9 p.m.
Call 886-8596 or go to The-Windjammer.com for more information.

County Council vote on bayfront hotel debt guarantee looms, questions remain
Barely a month into 2014, Erie County Council faces a huge financial and political decision.
The Erie County Convention Center Authority wants county government to agree to a debt guarantee of up to $60 million for a new publicly owned, publicly funded hotel and parking garage adjacent to the Bayfront Convention Center, on the Sassafras Street Pier.
The authority sought and received a similar guarantee from county government in 2005 for the 200-room Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel on West Dobbins Landing, which opened in 2008 and is connected to the Convention Center by an overhead walkway.
Scott Enterprises Inc., the region's largest hotelier, has been vocal in asking County Council to reject the guarantee for a new hotel.
The company has announced its own $150 million waterfront development, Harbor Place, about a half-mile east of the Convention Center. Harbor Place would be mostly privately funded and include at least one hotel, although Scott Enterprises is seeking a $12 million state grant for the project.
As a possible County Council vote on the debt guarantee approaches Tuesday, the Erie Times-News examined several crucial questions related to the issue.
Why does the Convention Center Authority want a debt guarantee?
A debt guarantee allows the authority to use county government's bond rating to get a lower interest rate on either a capital improvement bond or bank financing. The county currently carries high-grade bond ratings from both Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's, the two major financial rating agencies.
The guarantee would likely only apply to about $35 million, because a $25 million state grant also is being used to help build the hotel.
The authority, not the county, would make the debt payments, and the county would be liable only if the authority defaulted on its loan.
Local certified public accountant Joe Maloney, who advises County Council, said a debt guarantee would save the Convention Center Authority about $19.4 million in finance fees and interest.
"If you want to make the hotel successful, the guarantee makes sense because of interest savings," Maloney said.
The authority would use that savings to help construct the parking ramp and infrastructure that benefits redevelopment of the former GAF Materials Corp. site, just west of the Convention Center.
Chuck Iverson, the authority's director of finance and administration, said the authority makes twice-yearly payments on the 2005 bond debt, using hotel operating revenues earmarked for that purpose.
Through Jan. 15, the authority has paid $2,285,000 in principal and more than $17.6 million on the debt, Iverson said.
There is an outstanding balance of $43.1 million on the 2005 bond, which carries a weighted interest rate of 4.9 percent, Iverson said.
The bond will be paid off by 2035. "All of the payments have been made on time," Iverson said.
However, Nick Scott Jr., Scott Enterprises' vice president, called the amount of remaining debt "staggering.
"This is a scary situation that the county is being asked to get into," Scott said.
Why does Scott Enterprises oppose the guarantee, and how could it affect Harbor Place?
The company argues there is no reason to put taxpayers at risk with the debt guarantee when a private developer can and will build a waterfront hotel.
The company also points out that unlike the Convention Center hotel, Harbor Place will pay property taxes. Scott Enterprises launched www.bayfronterie.com this week. The site allows people to sign an online petition against the debt guarantee.
"Obviously we are a competitor in the market," Scott said. "But if they approve this ... I think they're headed for the perfect storm."
Harbor Place's scope "will be re-evaluated," Scott said, if County Council OK's the debt guarantee. The development currently calls for two hotels, a restaurant, entertainment barge, residential units, parking garages, and retail and office space.
"The competitor is publicly funded. They can lower their rates below market rate," Scott said. "We'd have to go back to the drawing board."
Meanwhile, the city has agreed to apply for $12 million in state funding for Harbor Place on Scott Enterprises' behalf, and Scott was asked whether the debt guarantee's potential impact on Harbor Place should concern officials in Erie or Harrisburg.
"No, I don't think so," Scott said. "The (state) money may become even more important to the project if this hotel guarantee is approved."
How has the publicly
guaranteed Sheratondone financially?
According to financial figures the Convention Center Authority must submit each year to county government, the Sheraton had gross operating revenues -- before interest, depreciation and amortization -- of $8.1 million in 2010, $9.2 million in 2011, $10.1 million in 2012 and $10.6 million in 2013.
The hotel's total operating expenses for those years were $6 million in 2010, $6.4 million in 2011, $7 million in 2012 and $7.4 million in 2013.
In addition, consultants in 2005 forecast average daily rates over multiple years for the Sheraton.
Since the hotel opened, its actual average daily rates have been higher than predicted in all but one year -- 2010, when consultants predicted an ADR of $113 and the actual ADR was $110.
And according to financial figures, the hotel's Revenue Per Available Room percentage for 2013 -- or RevPAR as it is known in the hotel industry -- stands at $96.71.
That means the hotel, on average, generated nearly $97 in revenue per day from each of its 200 rooms over the past year.
RevPAR is typically calculated by multiplying a hotel's average daily room rate by its occupancy rate. It is a standard performance metric in the hotel industry.
Casey Wells, the Convention Center Authority's executive director, said the Sheraton annually ranks near the top of Sheraton properties nationwide in overall guest experience, based on patron surveys.
Why a new hotel connected to the Convention Center?
Roger Richards, who heads the Convention Center Authority's Strategic Planning Committee, has said the authority needs additional hotel rooms in the area, particularly for conventions and large meetings, that are directly connected to the Convention Center.
Officials want their new hotel to have less-expensive rates than the nearby Sheraton, where rooms can cost up to $250 a night with taxes and fees, and to complement GAF's redevelopment as a mixed-use development that generates property taxes.
Richards has also said the authority supports the Scotts' project, and that there is room for both hotels on the bayfront.
John Oliver, president of VisitErie, the area's tourism promotion agency, said he agrees more hotel rooms are needed at or near the Convention Center.
"We have received feedback from groups that have not come to Erie, that one of the reasons is the number of rooms in proximity to the Convention Center," Oliver said.
What do County Council
members think?
Two council members, Chairman Kyle Foust and Edward T. DiMattio Jr., support the debt guarantee.
Foust also supported the Sheraton's 2005 bond guarantee.
DiMattio said he will vote yes because the Convention Center Authority has met all financial obligations regarding the Sheraton; the hotel project will help get the GAF property redeveloped; and "If we turn down a $25 million grant from Harrisburg, I really believe Erie's going to the back of the line when it comes to any future grant money from the state."
Councilwoman Carol Loll opposes the guarantee, saying she does not want to put county taxpayers at risk. Loll voted against the 2005 guarantee.
Three other council members, Andre Horton, Jay Breneman and Phil Fatica, have yet to make up their minds.
Councilman Fiore Leone has said he would abstain from voting because of a potential conflict of interest.
Leone abstained from the 2005 vote.
A 3-3 vote by County Council would defeat the measure.
How is the new publicly funded hotel expected to
According to financial projections by Piper Jaffray & Co., the new hotel would likely be financed by a 30-year bond that would be paid off in 2045.
Yearly debt payments would start at $1.2 million in 2015 and climb to more than $6.7 million by 2045.
In addition, HVS Consulting and Valuation Services forecasts yearly revenues of $6.1 million in 2016 for the new hotel's first year of operation, climbing to $9.3 million by 2025.
Expenses, by contrast, are forecast at $4.4 million in 2016, and are projected to be about $6.2 million by 2025.
Further, the study forecasts an occupancy rate of 65 percent in 2016, the hotel's first year of operation, increasing to 73 percent by 2025.
The average daily room rate is projected as $115 in 2016, increasing to $157 by 2025, according to HVS, which based its projections on competition in the current local hotel market.
What happens when the guarantee is approved or rejected?
If County Council agrees, the Convention Center Authority is expected to move forward quickly with its construction plans, and the hotel could be open as soon as 2016.
If the guarantee is rejected, the authority must decide how to proceed, and the $25 million grant could be withdrawn by the state.
At the very least, the Convention Center Authority would have to submit an amended business plan for its project, said Jay Pagni, a spokesman for Gov. Tom Corbett.
Nick Scott Jr. hopes to see the Convention Center Authority work with the state to "repurpose" the grant money, to help bring an attraction such as an IMAX theater or aquarium to the GAF site.
"Use the money for another purpose," Scott said, "that will get private development on GAF. This (guarantee) is not in the best interest of the taxpayers."

A bit of luck could see Sunderland reach safety
Published 16/05/2009
Ricky Sbragia will ignore today's Barclays Premier League fixtures even though they could plunge Sunderland into the relegation zone.
Victories for derby rivals Newcastle over Fulham and Hull at Bolton could put the Black Cats back into the bottom three before they run out at Portsmouth on Monday evening.
By the same token, poor results for the teams currently in 17th and 18th places in the table respectively could leave the Wearsiders all but safe.
Asked if he will have one eye on events at St James' Park and the Reebok Stadium, Sbragia said: "No, not really.
"At 5.00pm I will, but not during the day. I will be training, I will probably be here most of the time.
"Hopefully, all the results go for us and they all lose. That will be ideal for us and then on the Monday, we will know exactly what we need to get. It might only be a point.
"Portsmouth could be safe if the other results go right, so maybe in hindsight, the Monday night has been decent for us."

i wish homemade BP was on there. i like my homemade blackpowder more than anything else.
April 1, 2011, 01:24 AM
I forgot to include home made black powder.
April 1, 2011, 07:38 AM
My Black Powder shooting so far, has been entirely Revolver, and, with the use of 'GOEX', and, some 'DUPONT' from the early 1960s.
I sent off for some 'Swiss' but have not tried it yet.
So, I have no basis so far to have a favorite Powder.
My hunch though, is that I am going to really like the 'Swiss'.
I hope that those who reply in this Thread, who have experience with Home Made Black Powder, will elaborate a little about it, and, offer some comparisons to how it rates in relation to 'GOEX' or 'Swiss'...and in what application.
I see no reason why very good Black Powder could not be made at home...and, of course, the more info or testimonials, the more others may be correctly informed about it, and encouraged to make their own, safely and with good results.
Oh, I did try some 'Blackhorn' or whatever it was, since I had read it being touted.
It was anaemic and disappointing...and I saw no point in continueing with it.
April 1, 2011, 07:57 AM
i use Goex Pinnacle powder. Pinnacle was made by APP for Goex. It is more powerful than either APP or JSG. When Hodgdon powder bought out Goex, they stopped selling Pinnacle. i have several cases of 2F and 3F that was bought cheap at a clearance sale.
APP is now selling JSG Super Powder. A friend has tried it out and he says that it's 3F Pinnacle.

I have used GOEX for years; but, have been using Grafs lately cause I can pick it up at the store and it's cheaper than Goex. Have also tried KIK and Swiss and did not find either one lacking; but KIK isn't available now and Swiss costs more than Grafs.
Have used Pinnacle in my cartridges till they quit making it.
April 1, 2011, 01:02 PM
I don't shoot my Only BP rifle that much, A bottle of pyrodex RS Ibought 8 yrs ago is still
going. I shot 1 deer with it this past season ; )
April 1, 2011, 01:51 PM
i chose triple 7 because i have heard good things about it. however my homemade definitely is the best stuff i have tried. works for just about every purpose i could need a powder for.

April 1, 2011, 02:48 PM
Voted for Goex.
No real reason except its the easiest for me to obtain.
April 1, 2011, 03:23 PM
777. American Pioneer goes soft to fast for me, and I can't get Goex to save my soul.
April 1, 2011, 08:46 PM
Oh yes...
I like that one a lot...
I'd forgotten somehow...
April 1, 2011, 10:33 PM
Goex then 777
April 2, 2011, 01:18 AM
I've been using Goex for a good while and Dupont before that. I've even used some old Elephant black years ago. Next time I order powder I plan to get a few pounds of Jack's Battle Powder along with more Goes..
April 2, 2011, 06:58 AM
Goex for the flintlocks. 777 for the percussion, and the inline. Goex for the revolvers, and sometimes Pyrodex P. APP for the brass frame. Someone gave me a box of pellets, and I fired 2 rounds of a 50, and a 30 together, and put the box away. I'd really rather be able to measure my own loads.
April 2, 2011, 05:15 PM
Swiss No2
Mike OTDP
April 3, 2011, 07:13 PM
I'm shooting a mix. Goex 3F for musket and carbine, Swiss No. 2 (3F) for pistol...but I'm experimenting with Swiss No. 1, as the British are getting good results with it.
April 3, 2011, 09:55 PM
Always had much better luck with GOEX than ANY of the subs in my percussion rifles, and also in my revolvers. Never tried Swiss or KIK.
July 17, 2011, 03:24 PM
I'm a relative newbie, and have thus far only shot Goex. No complaints, and I plan to stick with it for the forseeable future.

July 17, 2011, 08:38 PM
Decades ago I used black because that's all there was. I tried prodex when it came out, but found it just as dirty as black and at least as corrosive. I tried 777 and found it to be the best. Powerful and very clean.
July 17, 2011, 09:18 PM
Curtis & Harvey shot more accurate in my old Ruger Old Army. I used 40 grs
behind a .465 ball. Won the Nationals in Tempory Master class with it in 1991
It was sold under Hodgdon name. Still have a couple cans. It's the only powder I shot in the late 60's and all though out the 70's. Won many a match
with that combo.
July 17, 2011, 10:44 PM
Goex for me.
July 17, 2011, 11:00 PM
I have half a 1-pound can left of some old stuff I bought over 30 years ago; I think it might be DuPont but it could be Goex.
Mostly I shoot smokeless, but when I do shoot black it's usually my homemade powder.
July 18, 2011, 06:04 PM
I use Swiss 1 (0.25/0.50mm for the size of the particles). Full loads only with .457 RB (either in walker 880 joules , rem58 8" 601 joules, rem58 carbine 18" 954 joules)... its clean, reliable, efficient, historic... I love it.
Maybe not the cheapest... (50$=1lbs where I live).

It depends upon "What" I'm putting it in. For the front stuffers it's Goex all the way. It's realitively inexpensive and works great.
On the other hand, if I'm loading cartridges I like Swiss. Supposedly it's cleaner although I won't endorse or deny that claim. It is a just a little heavier and "I" think it's got a little more punch. If you can manage to compress, cram or pound 40gr into a 45 Colt cartridge and seat a 230gr LRN you've got a round that will make the most ardent Cowboy shooter cringe.
Mainly I use it for 45 Colt "Gallery Loads" and I think I'll stick with it.
July 19, 2011, 08:02 PM
i found that Jim Shockey's will spark up just fine in my .50 flinter. it is what i use because i cannot find real BP in the ************ Republik. i will be making some real black powder soon. already made the softwood charcoal, and i already have plenty of sulfur. i like Triple Seven in my small handguns because of the power i can achieve. in my NAA .22 Magnum under some hollow point bullet i can blow soda cans filled with water to smithereens. this is magnified if you put an X on the front of the bullet with a razor blade! you can almost get the cans to split clean in half, and this is with a .22 Magnum equivalent cap and ball.
July 27, 2011, 07:49 PM
Goex, then Kik, because that's what I have. Also have Pyro P and RS. I like Holy Black better than unholy imitation.
I do plan on getting some 777 to try. Just for fun. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I'm perfectly happy with black.
I made a small batch of black once. It burned well, but slower than Goex. It worked fine as a propellant in my 42" flintlock barrel. Not worth a darn in the pan.
Someday I want to make some more. I like independence.
July 28, 2011, 12:05 PM
Goex for me.

The "Louis Agote" prize is given by the Faculty of Medicine of Buenos Aires to the authors of the best work on clinical medicine during a two year period. The authors of this monograph won the prize for their work carried on during the two years 1940 and 1941, which is summarized in this book. The monograph is the result of observations carried on by the authors in two clinics for diseases of the respiratory tract in Buenos Aires. The fifteen chapters include the clinical significance, pathologic anatomy, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, course, roentgenologic aspects, prognosis and medical therapy of the various clinical forms of either obstructive (bronchogenous) or postural (thoracogenous) pulmonary emphysema either simple or complicated by respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous diseases. Gigantic-bleb emphysema is regarded as an advanced phase of obstructive pulmonary emphysema. Senile emphysema is regarded as an acute form of thoracogenous pulmonary emphysema. The book is

The Orchestellans
by Pollux
About the Book
You've never seen an orchestra like this before! Imagine a symphony in which more than forty orchestral instruments are represented, each contributing a unique sound to a feast for the eyes and ears. This is what you'll find in this collection of images by Los Angeles-based artist Pollux!
The conductor appears before you. He signals to his orchestra.
And then the concert begins. You spot a euphonium. Is that a vibraslap? You can hear the kettledrums and the violas. Each musician is utterly devoted to his or her instrument. The Orchestellans love to play music, the rhythms and beats of which is yours to imagine.

Another community meeting on DD2s new proposed bell schedule will be held Sept. 9 at Ashley Ridge High School, and officials are hoping for more feedback from district parents and teachers.
Approximately 49 attendees signed in at the recent meeting, held Aug. 27 at Newington Elementary. Another 20 district staff members and six presenters were also present.
Sean Alford, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction for the district, is expecting even more people to show up at the upcoming meeting and he is excited.
We want to make the conversation a little more relevant so everyone realizes the goal is not just to necessarily tell the public what we want to do, but that we need their meaningful feedback as well, Alford said.
The format for the next community meeting is expected to stay the same; DD2 officials have prepared a powerpoint presentation now available on the districts website and parents will be allowed to write down questions and concerns on notecards, which will be collected and read aloud for officials to answer.
A common concern at Aug. 27s meeting focused on the new high school schedule, which would have school starting at 9:15 a.m. and ending at 4:15 p.m. The idea is to allow high school students more sleep, since the current bus schedule has high school students being dropped off at school at 6:15 a.m.
At the last community meeting parents voiced concerns on how students will manage after-school jobs and practices for sports later in the evening. An idea presented in the slideshow was students could hold practice before school as opposed to after, with students still being able to sleep in slightly later instead of having to get up around 5 a.m. in order to board the school bus and get to school at 6:15 a.m.
Even with the early morning practice were still in a better place, Alford said.
Nothing is official about the new bell schedule, which would take effect for the 2015-2016 school year.
We just havent taken anything off the table, Alford said, adding he was particularly pleased with the number of district teachers who attended the last meeting. They are the heart and soul of our school district and we have to know exactly how they feel and work with them, as well as the students.
The meeting at Ashley Ridge High School starts at 6:30 p.m.

Robert Pattinson in Cannes: 'Cosmopolis'
David Cronenberg's chaotic comedy-drama Cosmopolis was screened today (May 25) at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, where the director, accompanied by actors Robert Pattinson, Sarah Gadon, Paul Giamatti, and Emily Hampshire, posed for photographers. The film is in the running for the Palme d'Or.
A larger version of the Robert Pattinson photo above has been posted at Just Jared, which has several other images from Cosmopolis' Cannes photocall.
'The history and the past'
Reviews were mixed for Cosmopolis, which some found too talky. On the other hand, they were highly positive for Robert Pattinson, best known until now for his lovestruck vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies. (See also: "Robert Pattinson 'Flawless' in Cosmopolis.")
According to Just Jared, when Pattinson was asked a Twilight-related question, Cronenberg interfered, telling the journalist that the 26-year-old actor is a "real person with a history and a past. The history and the past is not Twilight. It is Cosmopolis."
In addition to Robert Pattinson (as the young multibillionaire New Yorker Eric Packer), Sarah Gadon, Paul Giamatti, and Emily Hampshire, the Cosmopolis cast includes Juliette Binoche, Samantha Morton, Jay Baruchel, Mathieu Amalric, Kevin Durand, and Patricia McKenzie. Cosmopolis opened in France this week.
Robert Pattinson Movies in 2012
In addition to Cosmopolis, Robert Pattinson has two other 2012 releases:
- Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod's Bel Ami, which has already opened in several countries and is currently available on VOD in the United States. This latest film version of Guy de Maupassant's novel features Pattinson as an ambitious, impoverished ex-soldier, plus Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci, Colm Meaney, and Holliday Grainger. Bel Ami's U.S. theatrical release date is June 8.
- Bill Condon's The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, the last installment in the Twilight movie franchise, which opens on Nov. 16. Pattinson co-stars with Kristen Stewart (whose On the Road was also screened – to mixed reviews – at Cannes) and Taylor Lautner. Additionally, Breaking Dawn 2 features franchise regulars Elizabeth Reaser, Peter Facinelli, Dakota Fanning, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Booboo Stewart, Michael Sheen, Julia Jones, Billy Burke, and others.
The previous Twilight movies are:
- Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight (2008).
- Chris Weitz's New Moon (2009).
- David Slade's Eclipse (2010).
- Bill Condon's Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011).

Amd just seems to offer better performance for the price in my eyes, though i'm well aware the generally intel/nvidia offer better quality and more sound drivers overall.

I really have no bias one way or the other, if you can point me to an intel chip or nvidia card that will yield the same results or better for the price then i'm sold.

Nvidia card no, Intel processor maybe. Can you actually list the things you intend on using the computer for? Also, the 8320 is more efficient than the Bulldozer alternative and around the same price.
need the power mainly for gaming. for right now looking at running games like metro, witcher 2, maybe crysis 3 and other high graphic intensive games (in the future bf4 and witcher 3, etc.); but also some cpu intensive things like emulation. other than that i'll only be doing a lot of programming and whatnot, but that won't be until the spring semester most likely. i plan on running three monitors, so i will most likely have lots of windows/programs open most of the time and need it to run fairly smoothly and not get bogged down easily.
Well the Intel build would be about $100 more for the parts I will recommend. Otherwise I'd have to cheap out. I did make some modifications to your AMD build.
Here are my recommendations [bold]:
Total: $848.90
AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM
MSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
MSI Radeon HD 7970 3GB Twin Frozr Overclocked Free 3 games w/ purchase, limited offer
NZXT Source 210 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair Builder 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
I left your Motherboard, CPU Cooler and DVD/CD writer alone. Switch pretty much everything else. Of course you can change the case if you want to. Better CPU, better GPU, saved you some money on the power supply. You do whatever you want to the memory. I just recommended something different. Of course you can change whatever you want, but for gaming I don't see you going wrong with this build. Let me know what you think.

Oh wow. Thank you so much! I was amazed by the price for all of that until i saw that you saved $40 on the case. I'm a sucker for anything with a side panel and front grill with an led fan :p Not a big deal though, cosmetics won't affect performance. I am really liking the build. Seriously, thank you.
No problem at all man. I don't see you going wrong with this build. However remember that it is YOUR build so you can pretty much do what you want with it. Have fun and be sure to come back and post pictures here.

-cheaper PSU
-cheaper case, Rosewill has a nice 50 dollar one that comes with three fans (one front, one top, one back) and nice HDD cages, yay
-consider a cheaper CPU as well...
That's about it that I can critique. Don't forget mouse, keyboard, monitor, OS.

If you're doing emulation, then you want Intel. Not much hope compromising there.
The best course of action is to just get the information you need, then get out while you're still alive. - destroy everything on GameFAQs
