Soulstice Theatre can't find spark in Woody Allen's 'God'
In Woody Allen's movie "Love and Death," Boris (Allen) asks that quintessential Allen question: "What if there is no God?" Ten years later, in "The Purple Rose of Cairo," Mia Farrow's Cecilia answers, in words that would give any actor pause: A world without God, she tells Tom (Jeff Daniels), "would be like a movie with no point, and no happy ending."
Hence, it's no surprise that the dilemma opening "God" — a one-act Allen play written in the same year as "Love and Death" that's now being staged by Soulstice Theatre — involves a playwright named Hepatitis (Tim Kietzman) and an actor named Diabetes (Joe Dolan), struggling to come up with an ending for a play. »Read Full Article

From the Riverdale Country School (Messrs E. G. Rigel and A. C. Rigel), the Department of Dermatology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine (Dr Lebwohl), and the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology, New York University School of Medicine (Dr D. S. Rigel), New York, NY.
Participation in outdoor alpine sports has been increasing over the last decade. Ultraviolet exposure levels for these activities can be extreme owing to the venue altitudes. The purpose of this study was to measure the levels of UV-A and UV-B radiation exposure incurred by performance skiers in a typical alpine venue and to determine the need for protection in that environment.
Total UV-B exposure ranged from 12 to 185 mJ/cm2 (0.5-7.6 times the minimum erythemal dose [MED] for individuals with type II skin). Ten percent of subjects received more than 1 MED/h at peak exposure times. Daily UV-A exposure ranged from 10.6 to 28 J/cm2 (daily average, 0.55 minimum melanogenic dose).
Alpine skiers with skin types I and II are exposed to measurable erythemal and suberythemal levels of UV radiation repeatedly over the long term at levels that can cause photodamage to their skin and potentially increase their later risk for skin cancer. Programs should be developed to educate skiers regarding the need for UV protection. Given the high levels of exposure noted, skiers should use UV protective measures, including sun-protection factor 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen.
A TOTAL of 87 900 Americans developed melanoma in 2002.1 Melanoma risk strongly correlates with UV exposure and sunburn—especially when the exposure or sunburn occurs prior to age 18 years—and the face and neck can be common anatomic sites. At typical alpine skiing elevations, ambient UV irradiance increases approximately 2% to 3% for each 100 m of altitude, and irradiance may be further increased by up to 40% due to the albedo of snow.2 There have been no quantitative studies to date measuring UV radiation exposure in performance alpine skiers. The purpose of this study was to measure the levels of UV-B (290-320 nm) and UV-A (320-400 nm) radiation exposure incurred by performance skiers in a typical alpine venue and to determine the need for protection in that environment.
Digital dosimeters were used to measure UV exposure levels of professional ski instructors under differing conditions at Vail, Colo (latitude, 39°N; elevation, 2500-3500 m above sea level). Individual digital UV-B and UV-A integrating sensors (Advanced Medical Electronics Corp, Fridley, Minn) were worn by 10 professional ski instructors on their distal arms, anterolateral forearms, or wrists outside their parkas from November 27 through December 22, 2000 (Figure 1). The wrist and forearm positions have been demonstrated to be a practical body site for personal UV dosimetry.3
The digital dosimeter (A) worn on the arm of a ski instructor study subject (B).
The dosimeters measured UV irradiance (watts per square centimeters) 3 times in each 5-minute interval during the study period and recorded the highest of the 3 values. The data were then downloaded from the dosimeter chips, integrated over each study day, and converted to UV radiation exposure units (irradiance × time [millijoules per square centimeter]) to obtain mean hourly average exposure values.
Data for hourly exposure were collected and analyzed for 84 exposure-days for UV-B and 66 exposure-days for UV-A. Ultraviolet radiation energy was measured in joules (watt-seconds) and UV irradiance in watts per cubic centimeter of skin surface area. Cumulative UV radiation exposure was calculated as irradiance × time (millijoules per square centimeter).
The subjects received a mean daily UV-B exposure of 62.08 mJ/cm2, with a range of 12 to 185 mJ/cm2, which is equal to 0.5 to 7.6 minimum erythemal doses (MEDs; 1 MED for a person with type II skin is 25-40 mJ/cm2). Ten percent of subjects received more than 1 MED/h at peak exposure times for their individual skin types, with some hourly exposures at midday approaching 2.5 MEDs for fairer-skinned individuals. More than two thirds of the skiers were exposed to more than 2 MEDs of UV-B radiation per day while skiing during the study period.
Average daily UV-A exposure was 10.6 J/cm2 (range, 0.5-28 J/cm2), or an average daily exposure of 0.55 minimum melanogenic dose (MMD) (range, 0.05-1.4 MMD). These MMD calculations are based on the assumption that a person with type II skin reaches 1 MMD at 15 to 20 J/cm2. Average hourly exposure patterns (Figure 2) were consistent with diurnal UV level changes, with the exception of a small midday decrease noted due to indoor lunch activities.
Average hourly UV-A (A) and UV-B (B) exposure in skier subjects.
High levels of UV exposure have been suggested to occur in many outdoor sporting activities, but few studies have attempted to quantify the magnitude of the exposure. Moehrle et al4 successfully measured UV exposure using biologic and chemically based dosimeters in several outdoor sports environments. The present study demonstrates that average daily UV radiation exposure levels in athletes in an outdoor venue could also be measured using personal digital dosimeters.
Participation in outdoor sports increases the risk of developing basal cell carcinoma.5 Skiers have been shown in epidemiologic studies to be at increased risk for the development for squamous cell carcinoma,6 and suggested to indirectly be at increased risk for melanoma.7 Despite this fact, a recent study showed that skiers knew little about the risk of sun exposure and often took no precautions at all, especially in cold or cloudy weather.8 Given the UV exposure levels noted in the present study, there is a need for a public education program to change skier UV protection behaviors.
Professional cyclists in the Tour de Suisse cycling race have been shown to have an average daily personal UV-B exposure of 8.1 MEDs9 and were found to exceed international UV exposure limits by more than 30-fold. Ultraviolet B exposure levels for the ski instructor subjects in the present study would be at least 10 times greater than those same limits, even given the study period occurring at seasonal minimum UV levels. Since in many cases it would be impractical for skiers to avoid exposure during midday periods or to wear protective clothing on the exposed areas of the face, their use of sunscreen is particularly important. Given the UV exposure levels noted in the present study, even skiers with average skin type should consider a sunscreen of sun protection factor 30 or higher to maximize protection.
Although the mean daily exposure was less than 1 MED and 1 MMD for some of the subjects with darker skin phenotypes, other studies have demonstrated that long-term exposures to lesser amounts of UV can also cause damage to the skin. Ultraviolet radiation–induced photodamage has been shown to be increased on the unprotected skin of golfers.10 Long-term suberythemal doses of UV can mutate the DNA of an individual and lead to pyrimidine dimer formation in dermal and epidermal tissue.11 Long-term repeated UV-A exposure has been shown to lead to photodamage and to potentiate the effects of UV-B on skin cancer formation. Therefore, even at the UV exposures found in the present study, all alpine skiers need to protect their exposed skin.
Our study has demonstrated that alpine skiers are exposed to measurable chronic erythemal and suberythemal levels of UV radiation at levels that can cause photodamage to their skin over time and potentially increase their later risk for skin cancer. Programs must be developed to educate skiers about the need for protection. Given the daily levels of UV exposure noted, alpine skiers should consider the use of regular UV protection, including sunscreen of at least sun protection factor 30 with broad-spectrum coverage to minimize subsequent UV-related sequelae.

marmelab/universal.css: The only CSS you will ever need
Ensure that your class names never go out of sync with your style declarations with this one simple trick:
Take any CSS rule you want to apply, replace : by -, and dots by -dot-, and you get the name of the corresponding universal css classname.
The only thing missing is immutability, so I would suggest also putting
!important after each declaration in the CSS. Voila! No more specificity battles.

Offensive line coach Tony Wise and offensive coordinator Matt Cavanaugh watched the center-quarterback exchange early in practice, trying to make sure the exchange was improving. Wannstedt said the coaches would continue to spend extra time with junior John Bachman, who has had trouble at times getting the ball to the quarterback cleanly.
Still, Wannstedt said he's confident Bachman will improve – making for an interesting position battle with junior college transfer Rob Houser.
"John Bachman is too smart and too good [of] an athlete not to be able to do it," he said.
Bachman worked early on in practice on the snaps, but move to left guard during team drills.
In Pittsburgh's third practice in full pads, the defense snagged the edge early. The inexperienced offensive line looked a bit overmatched when trying to contain Pitt's tenacious defensive line.
Before practice even began, Wannstedt spoke of Mick Williams, saying the junior defensive tackle is playing the best of anyone on the roster.
"If I was going to give an MVP after two days of pads, I'd give it to Mick Williams," Wannstedt said. "He's had an unbelievable spring practice so far."
Williams and the defensive line kept it up, constantly pressuring the quarterback during the 11-on-11 drills and breaking up Pitt's intermediate passing game.
Bill Stull, Pat Bostick, Greg Cross and Kevan Smith each took a good number of snaps at quarterback, but couldn't get the passing game clicking until late.
Cross, the most mobile of the four quarterbacks, was able to break outside the pocket and scramble on a few occasions, but didn't have the same success throwing the ball. Stull had the most consistent day, connecting on most short patterns and making many quick, smart decisions. And with four quarterbacks competing for the starting job, every play is being examined at a high level.
At one point, Stull looked off his first option, then turned right and fired a bullet to the left side, connecting with Turner on the left side for a gain of about 15 yards.
As usual, the passing game was loaded with quick slants and screens, which were often broken up by the quick line. T.J. Porter managed to make several nice moves in the open field for big gains, but the majority of the passes were shorter, gaining fewer than 10 yards.
But on a few occasion, Pitt did air the ball out. Stull reached back and connected with Oderick Turner on the left side of the field for a 50-yard touchdown pass that got the offense going. Then, during the last segment of the two-minute drill, Bostick completed several short passes before hitting Moe Williams in the left side of the endzone to close things out.
LeSean McCoy had the best day out of the backfield. At one point, McCoy broke free from the line and slashed through three defenders before cutting up the left side for a big gain. He made a similar move on the next play, but broke to the right side instead, leaving a trail of defenders behind him.
LaRod Stephens-Howling was able to showcase some of his speed as well, catching screens and darting through the line on occasion. And now fully recovered from a wrist injury, Kevin Collier also had some reps out of the backfield.
But while the majority of the players have stayed healthy for spring ball, Pitt still isn't free from injuries – at least not yet.
Although rapidly improving, Derek Kinder isn't fully recovered from surgery after injuring his ACL during Pitt's first week of training camp last season. Wannstedt said he's "getting a little bit better" every day, but there's still no exact timetable for his return.
Kinder will likely give the Pitt receiving core a boost when he returns, as he was a first team All-Big East performer in 2006.
Wannstedt said tight end Nate Byham, also recovering from a knee injury, is "doing great" and back running again. When healthy, Byham will again be a major asset both catching the ball and blocking from the tight end position.
Earlier in the day, the Panthers were visited by Dorsett, who spoke to the team for a brief period of time.
"He's always been a supporter," said Wannstedt, who contacted Dorsett and set up the meeting. "It was great."

Web applications pose a dilemma for bug hunters: how to test the security without going to jail? If hackers probe traditional software such as Windows or Word, they can do so on their own PCs. That isn't true for Web applications, which run on servers operated by others. Testing the security there is likely illegal and could lead to prosecution.
"There are more legal dangers to testing an application that is hosted on somebody else's system. That is a real challenge of this new application model," said Wendy Seltzer, an assistant professor specialized in Internet law at New York's Brooklyn Law School.
As a consequence of the legal threat, well-intended "white-hat" hackers often credited with finding bugs in traditional software are hesitant to audit Web applications. This means that online applications don't face the same scrutiny as traditional software and serious security holes could be left for unscrupulous criminal hackers to find them.
"We're losing the Good Samaritan aspect of security," said Jeremiah Grossman, chief technology officer at Web security company WhiteHat Security. "If it's illegal to find vulnerabilities in Web sites, it means only bad guys know where the vulnerabilities are. This is one of the big issues in information security as we shift to a Web 2.0 world."
Caleb Sima, chief technology officer at rival Web security firm SPI Dynamics, agreed that the legal threats effectively make Web applications less secure. "If a vulnerability existed, it would be the black hat hacker that would find it because they don't care. That causes Web apps to be less secure," he said.
The onset of what's become known as Web 2.0 is causing a splash, as it stretches the boundaries of what Web sites can do. But as sites become rich with new features, offering an experience akin to desktop applications, the security risks also increase, experts have said.
Bug hunting has been a legal gray area for people who probe desktop software. They may be breaking the law when they take apart, or reverse-engineer, software sitting on a PC. But the law is clear-cut when it comes to Web sites, said Jonathan Zittrain, professor of Internet governance and regulation at Oxford University's Internet Institute.
"The venerable Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in the U.S., and corresponding laws in other countries, criminalizes unauthorized access to a machine, including 'exceeding authorized access.' The point of a hack to expose a security vulnerability (in a Web application) is usually to do just that," Zittrain said.
Prosecutors could use several laws to go after security researchers who break into an online application, but the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is the primary one. It provides for a fine or up to a year in prison for somebody who "intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, causes damage."
"It is a problem for people who do have the public interest in mind and who are trying to expose flaws that are putting people's privacy or information at risk," Seltzer said.

BOSTON — When Wal-Mart opened its first trend office in Manhattan's Garment District almost two years ago, Lisa Waltuch got rare permission from the company to customize the space.
The new trend director, with the help of a designer friend, switched the retailer's standard grayish paint to a warm white, painted bulletin boards and shelves a zingy orange, and hit furniture chain Design Within Reach for a few Philippe Starck stools and a planter for the conference room. They even found a hip way to display company founder Sam Walton's maxims — de rigeur in Wal-Mart offices — through vinyl typography on the walls.
The trend office space is, in essence, Wal-Mart's brand interpreted in contemporary style. That's the sensibility Waltuch and Celia Clancy, vice president of strategy for apparel and home product development, want to bring to the clothing.
"We wanted it to have a design sensibility while still staying true to Wal-Mart's discount identity," Waltuch said.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has been trying to fix apparel, in one form or another, for a decade. The world's largest clothing retailer has struggled to balance its stable sellers with enough new styles, and to create presentations that were low priced but didn't look cheap. Rival Target Corp. has been lauded for a snappy sensibility that extends from apparel to home decor. For the past 17 consecutive months, same-store sales of Target have outpaced Wal-Mart (not including Sam's Club).
The trend office is on the vanguard of Wal-Mart's attempt to change.
"At Wal-Mart, we must have the courage to be contemporary," is the mantra from Claire Watts, executive vice president for apparel, home and product development. She oversees the trend office and has been one of its important backers.
"We should be right in step with Gap and American Eagle," said Waltuch, describing the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer's aspirations to serve up "fashion basics" that capture the essence of each season.
Clancy described the office's role as "looking at everything from blue-sky proposals on how to positively impact the shopping experience to new brand launches to how we stand for items in the middle of the fashion pyramid."

Driven by trend office research, the $285 billion retailer is organizing its private label brands around consumer lifestyles instead of a price-dictated "good, better, best" arrangement. The goal is to reduce duplication among the lowest-priced items and free up floor space for new properties.
Analysis of internal data has allowed Wal-Mart to profile customers it could serve better. One such consumer is a "fast misses'" shopper, a style-seeking woman over age 25 that the retailer believes is hungry for updated merchandise. It also wants to whittle down lead time — now six months — and bolster contemporary careerwear label George by working directly with the U.K.-based George Global design team.
The need to get apparel right has only intensified. Pressured by rising fuel costs and stagnant general merchandise sales, Wal-Mart this year missed its first-quarter earnings, something that has happened only one other time in its history. The retailer's U.S. store division's June results, showed a 4.6 percent comp store sales gain, a marked improvement, but the result was bettered by Target's 9 percent comp-store increase. The rival's success has reverberated throughout Wal-Mart.
"I haven't been in a Target store for about the last three hours," Michael Duke, Wal-Mart Stores president and chief executive officer, joked at a William Blair analysts conference on June 21 when asked if he paid attention to the competition.
Clancy and Waltuch have adopted Target's parlance, speaking about creating a unified design perspective and products that satisfy "wants and needs."
Target uses in-store signs that identify "wants" (discretionary purchases such as handbags) and "needs" (commodities such as paper towels).
"They were obsessed with Kohl's for a while, and now they're looking hard at Target, because Target is enjoying stronger comp-store sales increases compared to them," said Richard Hastings, a retail analyst with Bernard Sands.
A.G. Edwards analyst Bob Buchanan said Wal-Mart has been "decidedly dull on the sales floor. They've been losing customers to Target, and it's tough to get them back."
The trend office on Fifth Avenue, near the Empire State Building, is crucial for Wal-Mart to compete with Target in apparel. Opened in October 2003, it is a symbol of the retailer's commitment to understanding and being a long-term player in fashion.
The company is shifting from "being Bentonville-centric," said Clancy, a Boston native with a bachelor's degree from Wellesley College. "Slowly but surely, we're opening up and getting voices in important, strategic areas."
Steven Hoch, director of the Jay H. Baker retailing initiative at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, sees the trend office as a smart defensive move.
"They are fighting an uphill battle because of the ubiquity of their locations, their demographics and because of the large amount of apparel they need to sell," he said. "[Fashion is] a battle by definition they can't win, but it's important that Wal-Mart make the managerial and monetary commitment to constantly try to push that big rock."
But Christian Davies, creative director with Cincinnati-based retail design consultant FRCH, said a trend office can take Wal-Mart only so far.
"If you're going to credibly sell fashion, having a trend lab in New York is just the tip of the iceberg," he said. "They are lacking in the store experience — you're not seeing a seasonal point of view; you're not seeing reasonable lighting, decent fitting rooms or displays that style outfits."
In practice, the trend office functions as many others along Seventh Avenue do. Waltuch and consultants travel the world, taking photos and purchasing garments that will inspire styles sold at Wal-Mart.
They create trend storyboards, and kick off each season by hosting the Bentonville product development team. There are more than 200 staffers handling design, fit, packaging and quality control at Wal-Mart's headquarters, but only a few travel to New York for trend presentations and field trips to iconic retailers such as Henri Bendel.
The difference between Wal-Mart's trend office and others is one of scale. Each season, Wal-Mart needs to find styles that could appeal to millions of women. About 110 million customers visit a Wal-Mart each week, and nine out of 10 U.S. households shop the retailer annually, according to a recent Smith Barney research note.
"The key is, is it new enough? Is it exciting enough? And is it not so new that we can't commit to buying a lot?" Clancy said.
Wal-Mart has been burned by being too fashionable. In 2003, Clancy recalled, it took heavy markdowns after puzzling shoppers with embellished khurta tops.
At times, there are communication gaps between Manhattan and Bentonville.
"We suggest things sometimes the buyers are wary of," said Waltuch, a Stanford University grad who began her Wal-Mart career with the Brisbane, Calif.-based Web team. "We are reinventing our process to be much more understandable. We are specifying which are emerging trends versus other kinds of trends. We are providing a much more focused color card."
The challenges extend beyond communication. Trends promoted by Waltuch's team are then reinterpreted by product developers, bought by Wal-Mart's merchants and funneled through a global sourcing network. It's a cumbersome process in a business that rewards agility.
For instance, it will take almost three years for the long camisoles Waltuch first spotted on a trend-scouting trip to St. Tropez to make it onto Wal-Mart's sales floor.
Wal-Mart will have "a smattering of longer lengths" by holiday and a full presence in spring '06, Waltuch said. Target has already been selling long camisoles since May.
Wal-Mart's trend team has had successes. This spring its "Gotta Have It" package, which focused on preppy looks, has performed well. In-store, the presentation was bright, pretty and clean.
"The merchants are very pleased," Clancy said. "The skirt business has been very, very good. We could have had a lot more."
The office also is considering how to improve the store experience. Wal-Mart has hired regional merchandisers to ensure that apparel displays are properly set up and maintained. It's the kind of housekeeping that Wal-Mart has typically not spent money on, but cleanliness is one of Duke's major initiatives to improve comp-store sales.
Remodeled apparel departments, which include simulated wood flooring instead of carpet and a uniform fixture grid, have been well received, said Clancy, who lead the redesign. Since 2003, when the format bowed, about one-third of the stores have been renovated, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman estimated.
"What's interesting is that the customers perceive the product is higher quality in that setting," Clancy noted.
Evaluating the trend office's contribution is difficult. Wal-Mart does not break out its apparel sales, and it closely guards the specifics of its results.
Waltuch said 25 percent of Wal-Mart's apparel shoppers are spending more this year than they did a year ago, according to internal data. June's 4.6 percent same-store sales gain in the U.S. store division was led by better performance from general merchandise categories, including apparel.
But it's unclear whether Wal-Mart has fixed its old bugaboo: persuading women who haven't bought its apparel to try it.
Mandy Putnam, vice president with Columbus, Ohio-based Retail Forward, said Wal-Mart's "share of preference"— respondents who listed Wal-Mart as the place they buy most of their clothes — has been stable at about 20 percent this year.
A.G. Edwards' Buchanan said the success of the trend office rests on its ability to be persuasive with Bentonville. "I think it's great to have a New York office," he said. "As long as they listen to what that office is saying."

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Eyebrows were raised when minor-league pitcher Nestor Molina was dealt to the Chicago White Sox straight up for closer Sergio Santos in November. The 23-year-old Molina didn't say whether he was surprised by the trade but is just happy to have the opportunity with a team that clearly thinks highly of him.
"So as far as a trade, it's a great opportunity for me to come in and hopefully contribute and get on the team," Molina said through Jackson Miranda, the team's manager of cultural development.
Molina posted stellar minor league numbers in the Toronto Blue Jays system since he was moved from third base to the pitcher's mound late in 2007. But he has yet to make his big-league debut.
Molina enters the season as the White Sox's second-ranked prospect, according to Baseball America, which also cited him as having the best control in the organization. Between Class A Dunedin and Class AA New Hampshire last season, Molina combined to go 12-3 with a 2.21 ERA, striking out 148 over 130 1/3 innings in 26 games.
Although the White Sox's starting rotation is set, Molina said he still hopes to break camp with the club.
"I would definitely be disappointed if I didn't make the team because I came in here with the mindset that I'm going to be on the roster," he said. "But if I don't make it, I'll work my butt off in the minor leagues, and I know there will be an opportunity sometime during the season where I'll be able to move back up."
Molina said it took him about a season to get his arm in pitching shape. He patterned his game after Melvin Mora coming up as a position player. But there isn't a pitcher he tries to model himself after. Molina wants to carve his own path. The one benefit going from a position player to a pitcher is that he understands the mindset of a hitter.
Manager Robin Ventura said he was very curious to get a look at Molina, and after the third day of spring training was impressed by his athleticism.
"He's very balanced," Ventura said. "You see it in everything he does. He's very balanced in the way that he throws doing the drills in the backfield. You can tell that he's just an athlete and not just a pitcher. It's always a tough transition, but for him it's nice to see the way the ball comes out of his hand."

Rust on edge
Hi all - I've noticed some surface rust on my board's edge after riding. Will wiping the board down after every ride keep the rust off the board. Or is rust just something you have to contend with?
there's actually tools that you're supposed to use to get rust and burrs off of your edges called gummy stones i think. here's a link to some. but yeah if you get rust on your edges you definitely want to buy one of these because your edges are a huge part of your speed and edge hold.

here's a tutorial on tuning your board if you need it:

Wiping down is a good idea, but I don't do it myself. I just stand my board up and let the snow/H2O melt and run right off. You can also use a soft gummy stone to remove rust. Check this link out as well, toward the bottom a guy has done loads of research to offer some great advice:http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boa...n-sharpen.html

Review by Rio
[i]Manga Techniques: Robot Design Techniques for Beginners[/i] is the third volume of seven. As the title says, this book focuses on robots and robot design and boy, does it do it well!
Just like the other books in the [i]Manga Techniques[/i] series, volume 3 has 80 pages of tutorials and images. The last four pages are free sample manga manuscript paper which you have to cut out using a utility knife. It's really glued to the spine and it's not perforated so be careful if you want to take it out for use. Speaking of which, it's too bad the blue lines do not photocopy or scan well or else this would've been a really neat addition that will keep on giving but oh well, you can either use it or keep it in the book.
The book is divided into 6 chapters, the first of which introduces you to drawing robots then focuses on each body part and then wraps it all up by showing different robot designs. Each page is clearly laid out with a heading usually up top telling you what they are covering right at that moment, illustrations and short sentences giving step-by-step instructions or details. This book has more text than the previous volume but it's not too much of an addition so it'll take you about the same time as volume 2 to read through it; about an hour or less depending on your reading speed.
Since this book covers drawing robots, there is no nudity at all unless you count the one male torso figure in the entire book. Anyone, young and old, can pick up this book with it's PC (politically correct) images and easy to read text. The text in this book is thankfully free of any spelling errors though at times, the sentence structure could've been written better or perhaps switching out a word for a more appropriate one. There was also one Japanese character that was mistakenly left in a sentence in lieu of an apostrophe but that is not a big deal in my opinion.
This book will not hand-hold you to drawing everything they have in the book. They give you instructions in the beginning and then will give you a lot of examples and some text. For this, it's not something for the really young or the ones who want everything laid out for them (i.e. a step-by-step instruction for each drawing or character). If you're the type that likes looking at samples as an inspiration or don't mind copy-drawing, then this book will have a lot of mileage.
Overall, this book is worth the $12.99 price tag if you a) want to draw robots b) don't mind drawing and experimenting on your own and c) can find a copy! It's been awhile since this book has been printed so you may have to dig a bit to find a copy. What I like about this book is that once you learn all you can from it, you can still keep it for references. There are a lot of examples of robot body parts in each of the chapters. You can also use it as a quick refresher if you haven't drawn robots in awhile and need a quick review. Not bad for a $13 book!

According to SuperSport.com, he is the first major casualty of last week's testing fiasco in which all but one of South Africa's top referees failed to pass the mandatory pre-season physical examination.
The South African Football Association (SAFA) was forced to allow the referees to re-run the tests in order to have a decent-sized pool of experienced officials available for the start of the new season.
But Theron failed at the second attempt, as well, and subsequently announced his retirement.
The Namibia-born Theron has been a referee for 23 years, taking up the whistle while still a school kid.
"It's time for my family and my undivided attention. God bless all future endeavours of my ref colleagues and friends. It was a bumpy ride," he said.
Theron, based in Stellenbosch and active in the wine export business, never made it onto the FIFA panel but did handle two cup finals in his PSL career.
He was in charge of the 2005 SAA Supa 8 Cup final, where Bloemfontein Celtic won rare silverware, and the 2009 Nedbank Cup final, which saw Moroka Swallows beat AmaTuks in a match which marked the re-opening of the renovated Rand Stadium.
Last week tests caused a major storm for the refereeing community. Several top refs, including Jerome Damon and the FIFA accredited duo of Daniel Volgraaf and Victor Hlungwani, are still to take their tests because of injury and illness.

ORLANDO - The sequel wasn't quite as exciting as the debut, but don't get yourselves in a lather, 76ers fans. Nerlens Noel and the team are just fine with his game right now.
Following Saturday's 19-point debut, Noel was sort of pedestrian in Tuesday night's 92-71 Orlando Pro Summer League win over the Houston Rockets, posting eight points, six rebounds, three blocks and a pair of steals. He tweaked his left ankle in the third quarter, but asked to stay in the game and played a couple of more solid minutes before sitting for the night.

Jets Marty Mornhinweg On The Sanchez, Smith Battle
New York Jets Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg spoke to the media Sunday afternoon and gave an update on the QB battle between Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith.
Opening Statement?
Alright, a couple things. We?re in the early stages of installation right now. We?re installing, let?s say, between 21 and 30 passes a day and between four and eight runs a day so it?s quite extensive for the players and we?re in right in the middle of our third and fourth installation. Now, up to date, they?ve had these plays at least once and sometimes twice in the minicamps in the offseason. We?re rolling pretty good with the installation. That will stay consistent through about 10 installations every day. And so that?s where we?re at there. The players are working extremely hard, both on the field and as well as their preparation. Got to hand it to them, they did a heck of a job adjusting this morning when it started coming down. We had a little lightning. We all adjusted, restarted and got our work done in a walk-through manner this morning. Now their challenge this afternoon mentally is to restart with the first day of pads. As you know, they were juiced up, now, to get going this morning. That?s a pretty good challenge so we?ll see how it goes this afternoon. The last thing, the offensive staff, I wanted to just touch on that just a little bit. Just terrific position coaches. They?ve really worked hard with their preparation ultimately to get the players prepared. Really strong offensive staff and as you know, many of you know, I lean on all of those staff members heavily throughout training camp and the season.
On the biggest challenge for a young quarterback picking up a new offense?
Well, the first couple of things (are) simply the verbiage. And we?re talking specifically (about) Geno (Smith). Now, Mark (Sanchez) has had quite a little bit of experience, as has (Matt Simms) and Greg (McElroy). So they sort of know how to learn a pro system and so they?re a little quicker. We?ve had them for a little bit longer, as well. Geno is really doing a fine job with the verbiage. The second thing after that is reps, reps, reps, reps. Literally hundreds of times with our base plays and those two things are the key for a very young quarterback.
On how he assesses the quarterbacks?
Well, we?ve all seen Geno. First of all, he?s an outstanding young man. You all have met him I?m assuming, or at least most of you. Secondly, (he?s a) highly talented young man. The next thing would be (he?s a) very bright guy, certainly football-wise. (He?s a) very bright guy. We were just talking there about how quickly he?s progressed within the system. His challenge is to continue to progress so when he gets (an) opportunity to play in the Green and White and the preseason games he can go in and function at a high level. Now, Mark on the other hand, has a wealth of experience and his challenge is to play within our system at a high level, which he?s proven he can do, on a really a consistent basis. That?s his challenge.
On if the quarterbacks will split first team reps every two days?
Yes, to start with. And then as we go, and listen, we communicate really I would say day-to-day but it?s almost hourly-to-hourly on virtually all positions and certainly the quarterback position. And so we?ll make adjustments as we go and how they progress but it?ll be to start with. Mark had the first two, Geno will have the second two, Mark the next two, and we?ll go from there.
On how much the quarterbacks retained following the break before training camp?
Well, (they?ve been) outstanding. David Lee, the quarterback coach, tests them virtually every day. Whether it is on paper or verbally and that?s quite a challenge, now, even for the experienced guys it was quite a challenge. So, yeah, we utilize tests every day. There?s too much at stake. There?s great responsibly at all positions so certainly we use the testing method virtually every day.
On how much Smith retained?
He was outstanding.
On if he is pleased with the performance of the available running backs so far?
Yes, with the talent that we have. Now certainly an injury, we would like them on the field getting the reps. I do know this, we have quite a talented unit there as far as the physical ability goes. I think Chris (Ivory) will be back here pretty quick, as well.
On the performance of John Griffin?
Well, he really showed up and showed some signs that he was an NFL-caliber half back in the minicamps. And then he?s just progressed from there. He?s had a couple of things, he?s got natural hands, but he put a couple on the ground the other day. So he?s got to play at that consistent level.
On how Smith has fared playing under center?
Yeah, I believe we covered that quite a while back, but that was one thing I wanted to look at in his Pro Day. I think some of you, we?ve discussed that. He was just smooth as silk from under center at his Pro Day. Now, some quarterbacks who are not under center much, it?s almost seamless. It?s just natural for him to going under center. (For) others it takes a little work. Geno was pretty natural and you?ve seen him under center already and it was a natural thing for him. There was absolutely no problem, almost seamless.
On the quarterbacks he?s worked with throughout his career picking up his offense?
I?ve been pretty lucky, I?ve had some great ones, however, they all evolve and progress in different manors and different rates. Sometimes the ones that it takes a little while end up becoming the great ones and vice versa almost sometimes. I know this, Jeff Garcia, in his rookie year, became almost a master of it very, very quickly. He went to the Pro Bowl in his second year. Now, having said that, he played several years up in Canada, so that pro experience counts. Otherwise, all of them have done an excellent job mentally and it?s a lot of work. It really is a lot of work. But, most of the time when they know it?s a lot of work, then they go after it and they do even a little better job of it.
On Clyde Gates? development and performance in training camp?
I didn?t get to see much at all in the minicamps. He was in the tub. The little I did see him though, towards the end of minicamp, he flashed big. Now flash is another thing. We?ve got to play at that high level really consistently. Up to date, he?s done a heck of a job. Up to date. Now his challenge is to continue to progress and keep that level at a high level day after, day after, day after day and staying healthy.
On what the offseason was like for the receivers and trying to learn his offense and what have you seen so far in training camp?
Sanjay (Lal), the receivers coach, has done an excellent (job). He?s a heck of a receivers coach now and he has done a heck of a job with them. It was a lot of hard work in those minicamps. Not only the mental part, but the details like you mentioned on the field. Yesterday, I saw some things ? crisp, aggressive, detailed workout for really the first time. And, I?m talking about a bunch of reps like that. That was a good sign yesterday. I think we?re hitting it right about now and we?ve got all training camp left. Now, we?ll go through some ups and downs, at every position. But, there were some good signs there yesterday.
On planning for not having Santonio Holmes in the lineup?
That?s a good question. That?s part of what we do. We have plan A, B, C, D, E and all the way down. And we will have plans for a man, if he becomes available, let?s say on game week on Friday or Saturday. On a normal Sunday game, we?ll have plans for that. That?s just the way we go about our business. We?ll have plans for everybody that?s available and we?ll have plans for a man (if) he?s not available. We will have plenty for that game to do some damage.
On whether he is concerned that Chris Ivory has only caught a few passes in his career?
Going all the way back to several others backs that didn?t catch the ball much coming out of college or even somewhere else, Garrison Hearst for example. They have some natural skills and you go back to reps, reps, reps, reps, and then all of a sudden they become very good backs. Now, we?ll do it within their strengths. Some backs are made to play outside just a little bit. Some aren?t, so we?ll do that. Chris (Ivory) has shown up to date, he (has) natural hands. We suspected that by just (seeing) film on him catching the ball before we acquired him. Then we acquired him and got him in. It appears that he has real natural hands.
On what the team will look for when deciding the starting quarterback?
There?s a lot of things that we?ll look for. Every position, and certainly the quarterback, will be evaluated every day, every play, every practice. Normally is what happens is one man significantly removes himself from the other fellows. So, when that happens, there?ll be a time where we?ll make that call. The tougher one is when it?s very, very close and so we?ll be ready for that and then you go on some gut instincts there.

Economist Stephen Guilfoyle Weighs In On The Eurozone Recession And Looming "Fiscal Cliff"
Category: Markets / Finance
/ Nov 15, 2012 5:19PM EDT
U.S. Economist Stephen Guilfoyle spoke with IBTimes TV about the Eurozone Recession and Looming "fiscal cliff." The Eurozone slipped back into recession, the second since the financial crisis in 2009. The European Union's statistics office announced Thursday that GDP in the 17-nation bloc slipped 0.1 percent in the third quarter after a 0.2 percent decline in the previous three months. Concerns over whether the Greek government can avoid a default and if Spain can ask for a formal bailout, as well as the U.S "fiscal cliff," has hit business and investor confidence. U.S. stocks fell more than 1 percent on Wednesday after President Obama reiterated his call for the wealthy to pay higher taxes. Both Republicans and Democrats want to keep low income tax rates for middle-income and low-income households, but Democrats say the wealthiest 2 percent should pay the higher tax rates that were in place during the 1990s. However, Speaker of the House John Boehner said last week that allowing taxes on the top 2 percent of earners to rise will end up destroying jobs.
