A national mortgage company has reached a settlement
with regulators over charges that it improperly charged settlement fees
related to its appraisal affiliated business. The company has agreed to
pay more than $10 million to settle the charges. Read on to find out why
the regulators thought the appraisal fees were improper.
Loud and clear, appraisers and appraisal groups by the hundreds wrote to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over the past two weeks. The main topic of discussion was the desire to separate appraisal fees and AMC fees on the new disclosure forms that will be used once the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rules take effect. Read on to find out what industry leaders had to say.

When it comes to staying in touch, penguins have the ultimate family plan. Even in a noisy colony of thousands, penguin parents and their chicks can always recognize each other's unique vocalizations.
Penguins can't afford to lose track of their child.
The chick's survival depends on it.
Parents will dive down almost 800 feet to find fish for their chick.
Then, after a hard day at the office, they return home to their islands around the Antarctic...and try to find their child.
It's like a shopper wondering where they parked their car.
This is no trivial matter.
If the parent feeds the wrong chick, theirs can starve to death.
Fortunately, they have an astonishing solution.
A parent can zero in on the audio frequency of its chicks chirp above the din of the thousands of equally loud parents and their chicks.
And the chicks can zero in on their parents call as well.
It's like walking into a stadium full of fans all talking at the same time and being able to pick out the voice of your child or your parents.
If only they had a special call for: "Excuse me, coming through."

perfect pitch with a perfect pitch on a perfect pitch.
I didn't think it was legal in baseball to pitch a pitch with pitch on it. Or is that the bat?

Songs, of course, can engage you completely
(from waaay above!) Thanks for clarifying, Fish. I think this is true, too. I guess I was illustrating for myself, in my brain, by holding up two performances side by side (in a manner of speaking): Beethoven's Fifth, frig zample, and Spamlet - whoops, HAMlet, fr'another ig zample. The former is elevating and stirring and all them things; the latter makes you think, about life, the universe, and everything.
But songs combine two arts: music and writing. Music for the tune, writing for the lyrics/message. And you're right: words and music working together and making very strong medicine. I love listening to songs by my fave poet-philosophers/songwriters - Bruce Cockburn and Paul Simon spring instantly to mind but there are many more, of course.
Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

Here's another late entry.
In my salad days I studied voice and did concert work. Was even on Ted Mack's Amateur Hour. Also did "pop" stylings and made a fair bit of cash when it was needed.
Believe it or not (those who have heard my speaking voice) I was a coloratura!
Then I started smoking.
Now voice is shot and what comes out is definetly not a coloratura!!! I think a pleasantly acceptable contralto might emerge if I took the tome to practice again.
I love music and I think orchestral music (any type- trios to rock to Boston Symphony) is in the arts exactly to keep the emotions involved. If it wasn't there we might all slide into being scientists. Heaven forfend! ©

Hamlet and Beethoven's 5th
Both inform the intellect and the emotions. I could never place one above the other. However, I've listened to the 5th by far more times than I've read Hamlet And I've thought more about the 5th probably more than I've thought about Hamlet, including a wide range of thoughts and emotions, from tragic to comic, for both have been poked fun at!
There's mental meat in both of them. Sure, you can pull the language out of Hamlet and dicuss very easily the language, the history, the references, Shakespeare's use of facts and how he modified fact. You can discuss the poetry, the emotions conveyed, the way the play has been staged and could be staged. Endless conversation.
But you could also discuss the 5th in detail: arrangement of orchestral voices, use of meter, accent, dynamics, phrasing (what a debate!), form, chord structure, and so on. You could discuss various interpretations by different orchestras under batons of different conductors. You could discuss the performances of individual performers in those different orchestras.
We could easily construct here very long, seemingly endless lists, of what the two experiences of seeing Hamlet and hearing the 5th could provide us--and, yes, hearing Hamlet and seeing the 5th . The depth of our conversations would only be limited by our depth of knowledge about theatre and orchestral performance, to use two very broad terms that don't begin to show the many ways in which our thoughts and emotions are drawn into the two disciplines.
Unfortunately, language has the edge here. In order to talk about Beethoven's music, we use the medium of language. And Shakespeare is already comfortably resting in that medium. That's why it may appear, first thoughts turned that way, that there's more to think about. Shakespeare has already provided all those thoughts! And, why, Beethoven? We must translate what happened musically into language.
However, think about what those musicians are doing to produce the sound to finally cause emotional response in an audience, and you move into an area that can so often be highly intellectualized by musicians and certainly very thoughtfully emotionalized.
I move through an experience. My mind recalls a phrase from Hamlet. I move through another. My mind recalls a musical phrase from the 5th. There is such a pool of response from those two great works from which either my intellect or my emotional being can draw--may be informed--may find coincidence.
I could never place one work above the other for either intellectual stimulation or emotional. I find it to be absurd to try to do so. And I would suspect any serious lovers of both literature and music would find it absurd to try to do so. The more I learn about one discipline, the more I appreciate the art of those I value as the masters. Both my mind and emotions are informed, and equally informed, but in different ways. And I believe it is impossible to pluck out certain mental processes from these two disciplines and say that some are not intellectual simply because they may seem to be emotional or not directly related to language.
I've seen Hamlet performed live a few times, and a few more in films. I've studied it in depth one time. I've certainly listened to the 5th countless times, but it doesn't take as long to perform as Hamlet. Certainly the artists in both performances can be equally engaged in bringing about the effects they hope to realize in their audiences. Both types of artists exercise their minds and hearts if they are the best kinds of artists. And the best kinds of audiences, I would argue, equally engage their minds and hearts.
The 5th feeds me immediately right where I am in thought and emotion. Hamlet requires that I must concentrate. The 5th requires varying degrees of concentration from me, some greater than others depending upon how much I want to concentrate. But I could write as much about one as the other, and I could write about each intelligently, especially with some good sources by my side. Each gives me cause for celebration that human beings, so creatively gifted, could rise to such heights, could produce such artistic works of such depth, complexity and intensity that future artists could lay their hands upon them and interpret them anew.
No, I could not put one discipline above the other, even though language is so readily available to us and certainly our writing on a word board may give an immediate, if questionable, advantage to language. But not in the minds of, at least, musicians. Mozart wrote a great deal of text. Ask Mozart, if we could, how he had best exercized his mental capabilities: in his letters or in his music. I don't think there's any doubt how he would respond.
But I know how I spend my hours--I know how much I listen to music--and I know what thoughts that listening inspires. Sometimes there's great good that comes from getting away from just words into a place that informs us of mental imagery, memory, and anticipation that all spring from musical arrangement of sound.
That's a bit of my take on the subject.
Best regards,

Ha! - - Music transcends poetry and prose in essence. Music is not written for musicians. Music is written for mankind. A gift from the gods. As I write I listen to Richard Strauss's opera "Elektra". The human who is a human has not yet been born who can listen to this emotive work and not be transformed by it's dramatic expression of the tragedy and grandeur of being alive. Words are tyranny. Music frees the soul to reach our destiny and the stars.

<<Words are tyranny. Music frees the soul to reach our destiny and the stars.>>
If so, the tyranny of words is its own irony. Has music freed the soul to reach those figures, or was it--the soul--born of words to heaven? Words may exalt what they are not; that is the stealth with which they exalt themselves.

No Inselpeter, the tyranny and irony of words is that I think I understand what you just said.

Wow! (exclamation, not name!) So many singers! Best add another one to the list... To date, principally baroque chamber music, but I'm getting quite into Blues at the moment.
One thing that always amazes me amongst my non-singing friends is the lack of recognition of the voice as an instrument. Any other views on this?
Agree with WOW as well that music is there to keep the emotions involved - it doesn't matter what the music is, if you play/sing it without emotion you might as well not bother as it will convey little to your audience and there'll be no link between the performer and the audience (witness the current rash of manufactured pop bands)

I would have liked have left it with "the tyranny of words is its own irony," but I thought people would get mad.

I sure wish I got as much out of music as Wordwind does! My sister says that Beethoven's 5th often brings her to tears. The only music that has ever done that to me is music with words. This is definitely not because I'm a cold, emotion-less being -- my brain just doesn't seem to hear music the way other people do. But I think my singing lessons are helping me to listen a little more discriminately.

For Immediate Release
July 22, 2011
State Board of Education hires former federal prosecutor to investigate operations in East St. Louis School District
U.S. Attorney's office applauds move to increase transparency for district of 7,300 students
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced today it has launched an investigation of all aspects of operations at the East St. Louis District 189, hiring a former federal prosecutor to lead the investigation. The ISBE, using District 189 funds, hired Sandberg Phoenix & von Gontard to conduct the investigation after consultation with the U.S. Attorney's office and amid growing public concern about the possible mis-use of public resources. Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, A. Courtney Cox, a partner at Sandberg Phoenix, will lead the investigation.
"We appreciate the cooperation of the U.S. Attorney's office and Sandberg Phoenix to ensure that every dollar in East St. Louis is spent with the best interests of the district's students in mind and that any misspent federal or state funds are recovered for our taxpayers," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch." I am confident this will be a thorough, top to bottom review, and the investment will help us continue to turn around the East St. Louis District."
The investigation will include but not be limited to looking at an inventory of all contracts for goods and services, all employees of the district, including their personnel files and all documents relating to their hiring, their qualifications and credentials, an inventory of all consultant agreements, a review of all income and expenditures, an inventory of all property owned, grant applications and interviews with current and former employees.
"I applaud the efforts of the State Board of Education to bring greater accountability to the East St. Louis School District," said current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Steve Wigginton. "Courtney Cox is a highly qualified attorney who will leave no stone unturned and will complete this task with integrity and professionalism. It's important for all of us to work together for the students of East St. Louis."
As part of this arrangement, the ISBE has retained Sandberg Phoenix & von Gontard for up to $100,000 per year. The East St. Louis School District, not the State of Illinois, will cover the costs.
In May, the East St. Louis District entered an intergovernmental agreement with the ISBE that cedes control of the district to the state's education agency for at least three years in order to improve academic performance and establish financial stability. The district's longstanding failure to meet performance standards triggered the State's intervention.
Jed Deets, a former St. Clair County Regional Superintendent and superintendent in the Cahokia and Grant school districts was named the district's Interim Superintendent as of July 1. He will likely be the first administrator to serve as interim superintendent in East St. Louis this school year as the state searches for a permanent superintendent to step in by July 1, 2012.
Persons with information regarding possible waste, fraud or financial mismanagement within the school district are encouraged to confidentially provide this information by contacting Mr. Cox directly at P.O. Box 475, Carbondale, Illinois, 62903. Information may also be shared directly with Mr. Cox by e-mail at email@example.com.

Mere hours after Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, announced they were expecting their second baby, bets were already being made on the child's name. Take a look at some of the names with the best odds.
With England's monarchy stretching back more than nine centuries, there are more than enough names for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to choose from for their expected son or daughter.
In the past, royal couples have kept the public waiting. Prince William's own parents, for example, waited a week before unveiling his name. And since this baby isn't due until April, royal watchers will likely be waiting a long time for the new prince or princess's name.
According to UK betting sites Ladbrokes and Paddy Power, some of the male baby names with the best odds include James, Arthur, William, Charles, Philip, Henry and Thomas.
Arthur, the king of Camelot, evokes images of chivalrous knights. It's in the Top 100 of UK names, and it's one of Prince William's middle names. Shown above is actor Richard Harris as King Arthur in "Camelot."
James, a top 10 name in England, has seen a lot of use: there have been two English kings named James and six Scottish ones. Shown above is James I of England.
William has been the name of four English kings -- and, of course, is the name of the royal baby's father. It's the eighth most popular baby name in England and Wales
Philip, also the name of Prince William's grandfather, has never been the name of an English king.
Charles would be a nod to the baby's grandfather, Prince Charles. There have been two English kings names Charles.
Henry has been the name of eight British kings. The last, Henry VIII, is perhaps the best known, having broken off from the Catholic church to form the Church of England so he could divorce his first wife.
Thomas is the sixth most popular boy's name in Great Britain. English philosopher Thomas Hobbes is pictured.
For a girl, according to Irish bookmaker paddypower.com, the names with the best odds are Victoria, Mary, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Alexandra, Alice and Catherine.
Victoria, the name of a former queen, whose name has come to represent the style and manner of the time of her reign -- the Victorian era -- has been said by some to be a little presumptuous for a new royal.
Mary has been the name of two English queens. Mary was also the name of Queen Elizabeth II's grandmother, and it's one of Queen Elizabeth's middle names.
Elizabeth, the name of the queen and the queen's mother, is seen by many as much more likely to be among the multiple middle names of a baby princess. In addition, it happens to be Kate's middle name.
Charlotte was the name of both the wife of King George III and one of his daughters. It's the 21st most popular baby name in England and Wales.
Alexandra is one of Queen Elizabeth's middle names and was the name of King Edward VII's consort. However, Alexandra is not on the UK Top 100 Baby Names.
Alice was the name of Queen Victoria's second daughter. It's the 27th most popular girl's name in England and Wales.
The odds on Diana aren't nearly as good for baby No. 2 as they were for baby No. 1, but there is still plenty of speculation Prince William could honor his late mother by naming a daughter Diana.

When it comes to sweets and teeth, our dentist suggests watching what you drink more than what you eat.
I wish I could tell you that cookies, cake, chocolate and other yummy sweets were good for your teeth. That would really make you smile. But here's some surprising news: They're not as bad for your chompers as a sugar-filled coffee or soda. That's because we tend to sip these sweet beverages over extended periods. And the longer we linger with something sugary, the worse it is for our teeth, according to recent research by Tufts University.
Sugar feeds the bacteria in your mouth that cause tooth decay. If you treat yourself to dessert and then brush, bacteria don't have much time to consume the sugar. But the research shows that if you nurse a can of sugary soda all day, cavity-causing bacteria thrive. What's more, soda contains high levels of acid, which erodes tooth enamel. So think of soda as a double whammy for your teeth.
If you always want a drink by your side, keep a bottle of water around. It's fine to squirt in a little lemon or orange for some extra flavor.
Finally, I have a special plea to parents of little ones: Don't fill their sippy cups with juice (even if you water it down) and let them walk around with the cups all day long. I've seen too many kids get cavities in their baby teeth because of this common practice. If you want to give your child juice, serve it only at mealtimes. Then fill her sippy cup with the same thing you're drinking: just water.

TCL > July 2013 Issue > Laurence A. Ardell (1919–94)
About the Author
Wm. David Lytle has been with the law firm of Altman, Keilbach, Ltyle, Parlapiano & Ware, P.C. for thirty-nine years. He was a law clerk for Larry Ardell during the summer and fall of 1973. Lytle was CBA President during 2007–08—email@example.com. Lytle thanks Larry's wife, Marty, for taking the time to share stories and provide insights about Larry for this article.
I first met Larry Ardell in the summer of 1973. My wife and I had just moved from St. Louis to Pueblo, and I was preparing for the Colorado bar exam. One of the few people I knew who lived in Pueblo was local attorney Jim Phelps, whom I had met on a trip to Pueblo a few months before the move. A couple of days after the bar exam, Jim gave me a call and told me that Larry Ardell, to whom Jim had introduced me at a monthly Pueblo County Bar Association meeting, was looking for someone to do some work for him as a clerk. I reminded Jim that a law school classmate and I were planning to start our own practice once we were sworn in as members of the bar. (It's good to be young and not overly concerned about actually passing the bar exam.)
Jim assured me that Larry was just looking for someone to help him for a few months, so I went into Larry's office for a meeting. Larry couldn't have been nicer to a young, aspiring attorney. Larry explained the kind of help he needed for some cases, and it all sounded fine to me. Besides, my wife, who was working as a registered nurse in the surgical operating rooms at Pueblo's Parkview Hospital, thought my working (as opposed to fishing and playing golf for the next three months) would be a very good idea.
I told Larry that my wife and I were living about twenty-five minutes outside the city, and that we would be commuting into town together. My wife started work around 6:30 a.m., and I asked Larry if it would be okay if I came in early and then left around 3:30 p.m. That was fine with Larry. I asked him how I would get into the office at that early hour. Larry responded that "the office building is open; just come in the door." "How do I get in your office?" I asked. "That won't be a problem," Larry said. "I'll be here." And he always was.
I learned quickly that no one worked harder than Larry Ardell. I would arrive at the office between 6:30 and 6:45 every morning to find Larry already hard at work. I asked him one day what time he usually came to work, "Oh, it varies," he said, "sometimes 4:30, sometimes 5:00." Another time I asked him, "What do you do for breakfast, given your early arrival?" Larry's response, "Well, if I'm hungry, the Village Inn [which was two blocks from the office] opens at 6:00, and I just walk over." I learned he was something of a regular at opening time.
Larry's given name was Laurence A. Ardell, but everyone who knew him called him Larry. The first time I met him, I called him Mr. Ardell, and he quickly explained that around the office or in the halls of the office building, "Larry" would do just fine.
Larry was born in May 1919 and grew up in Pueblo. His father and grandfather both had worked for the railroad. His grandfather was killed in a work-related accident, and his father was seriously injured at work.
Larry graduated from Pueblo's Central High School and earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado (CU) in Boulder. At the onset of World War II, Larry joined the Army and eventually saw duty in the European theater in an anti-tank unit. After the war was over, he was discharged with the rank of captain.
Larry returned to CU to earn his law degree. It was at this time that Larry met his future wife, Mary C. Ardell, who is better known as Marty. Marty told me that Larry was looking for a date to the CU Law Ball, and he asked her to go with him. Marty, who attended CU but was not a law student, had never heard of the Law Ball. She was familiar, however, with a regular event held in Boulder in the late 1940s known as the Tea Dance. Marty told Larry, "No, I won't go with you to the Law Ball, but I will go with you to the Tea Dance." Larry quickly accepted Marty's counteroffer, and the couple's relationship blossomed from there.
In addition to a law degree from CU, Larry earned an MBA degree from the University of Denver and a Masters of Tax Law from New York University. From New York, Larry and Marty moved to Delaware, where Larry worked in the tax department of the DuPont Company. Ultimately, though, tax law wasn't to be Larry's forte.
Setting Up Shop in Colorado
Larry and Marty moved back to Pueblo in 1950. Larry opened his own practice in downtown Pueblo's Bon Durant Building, which housed a large number of law offices at the time. Initially, Marty did not work in Larry's office, but she eventually became the firm's receptionist, secretary, legal assistant, and office manager. By the time I met Larry in 1973, there were two other very hardworking secretaries on staff; however, Marty served as the coordinator of all things staff-related until Larry retired from the practice of law.
The Bon Durant Building was purchased by Mountain Bell Telephone in the early 1970s. Consequently, all of the attorneys in the building had to move at the end of their leases. The Ardells—who were the last ones to vacate—moved out of the building in 1973. They didn't go far, relocating to the Thatcher Building just across the street. The Thatcher Building then became the new building to house most of the attorneys in Pueblo. Larry's office was located on the third floor, and it remained there until his retirement in 1990.
An Impressive Caseload
When I briefly worked for Larry, he was mostly doing insurance defense work—a lot of insurance defense work. Larry represented State Farm Insurance, Farmer's Insurance, and Ohio Casualty, and he did so all over Southeastern and Southern Colorado. It took this young, almost-admitted-to-the-bar attorney a little time to realize what a huge practice that was.
In 1973, the Tenth Judicial District (Pueblo County) had Term Day every four months. On Term Day, the district court judge for each division of the district court would call up all of the civil cases pending that had not yet been set for trial in that division. If you had a case or cases in that division, you were expected to appear, or have someone from your office appear, calendar in hand, to determine whether the case was ready to be set for trial and pre-trial conference. I don't recall the exact circumstances, but I do recall at one point being asked to go to Term Day with Larry's calendar.
Marty and Larry had Larry's notes of which cases were ready to be set and which were not. I can recall noticing on the docket sheet for the first division in which I appeared that several of Larry's cases were on the docket. I had already let the judge's clerk know I was there with Mr. Ardell's calendar—we were now in court, so he was now Mr. Ardell—just as Marty had instructed me to do. One of Larry's cases was among the first to be called. I had noticed that as the previous matters had been called, the judge would offer dates the court had available to the attorneys until everyone found an open date or until the judge set the matter as an alternate setting on the judge's calendar.
When Larry's first case was called, the judge acknowledged that I was appearing with Mr. Ardell's calendar, and then asked me whether he had any availability on a date that was many months down the road. I looked at his calendar and saw that he already had a trial scheduled. The judge then asked me when Larry's earliest open date was to schedule a jury trial (even the judges knew him as "Larry"). I can't remember exactly how far ahead I had to look, but it was well beyond a year. Naturally, the plaintiff's attorney wanted an earlier date.
The judge then indicated he would schedule the matter for trial as an alternate on Larry's calendar. If Larry's primary case went to trial, this case would be continued by the court. I came to realize this reflected not only the volume of cases that Larry handled, but also the respect Larry had earned from the judges before whom he appeared. When Larry retired in 1990, his caseload was transferred to multiple attorneys from more than one firm.
Extending Courtesy and Respect
to Clients and Colleagues
It was Larry's custom and practice to treat the lawyers on the other side of the case with respect and courtesy. Dave Ware related to me that when he was just out of the District Attorney's Office in the late 1970s, he had a plaintiff's personal injury case that Larry was defending. When the jury returned to deliver the verdict, Dave wasn't able to be present. Larry went to court to receive the jury's decision, and later called Dave to let him know that Dave's client had prevailed. He told Dave the amount of the judgment and the accrued interest, and let him know that he would have his client get a check to Dave in short order. Larry then spent some time telling Dave what a good job he did in presenting his case. It is not often you hear stories of someone treating opposing counsel with that level of courtesy.
When Larry passed away in February 1994 at age 74, there were many accolades written about him. Richard Robb, retired Senior District Judge for the Tenth Judicial District, was interviewed by the Pueblo Chieftain, the local newspaper. Judge Robb had this to say about Larry:
[He was] one of the finest trial lawyers in the State of Colorado . . . a hard-nosed advocate. Tough. Thorough. But not intimidating. He probably represented a client better than any lawyer I had in my court. When he was in your courtroom, everyone in the courtroom and in the halls outside the courtroom knew he was there. He had a booming voice; not intimidating. He certainly was a formidable presence.1
Judge Robb recounted that he would call on Larry, as a personal injury expert, to prepare a brief analyzing proposed settlements when Judge Robb had probate cases involving children or an incompetent person. Judge Robb related that Larry would provide fourteen- or fifteen-page briefs fully analyzing the proposed settlement and discussing whether it was appropriate.2
Building a Business and Building a Home
Larry wasn't just a highly skilled advocate—he also was a skilled carpenter. John Keilbach recalls seeing Larry and one or both of Larry's sons in 1973 doing much of the carpentry and finish work on what was to be Larry's new office space in the Thatcher Building in preparation for the move.
When the Ardells purchased their home in Pueblo many years ago, it was a nice home, but it wasn't very large. Marty shared that, over the years, Larry remodeled and expanded the home five times. The home is lovely, and all the expansions fit together in such a way that it looks like the home was built that way from the start. Not content to simply remodel and expand their home in Pueblo, Larry also did most of the construction of their getaway home, located along the Blue River outside Breckenridge.
Improving their family home in Pueblo and building their home away from home in Breckenridge was just a small reflection of the devotion Larry had to his family—his wife Marty, and their children Greg, Jeff, and Lynda. Today, Greg lives in Massachusetts, Jeff lives in Tennessee, and Lynda lives in Alabama. Marty still lives in the family home in Pueblo. Larry had three young grandchildren at the time of his death. A fourth grandchild was born after Larry passed away. Larry was absolutely delighted to be a grandfather. It is unfortunate that he didn't get more time with his grandkids.
The Ultimate Advocate
Larry set a wonderful example for other attorneys by always being prepared and being honorable and decent with everyone with whom he dealt. He is remembered as the ultimate advocate and the quintessential professional, and his name well deserves to be inscribed among the Outstanding Lawyers in Colorado History.

Crytek, a leading developer of video games and 3D rendering engines, said that its current work, the CryEngine 3, is aimed at the next-generation video game systems which will replace the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The company believes that by the time the engine as well as games on its base hit the market, the new consoles will already be available.
"CryEngine is the technology that allows you to look out for the future by being next-gen ready. That means if you know you want to make a PS3, Xbox 360 and PC game, you may also want to be looking at a version for the next Xbox or the next PlayStation. If you want that, this is the engine of choice because it can scale up, it can scale down," said Cevat Yerli, chief executive officer of Crytek, in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz web-site.
Both Microsoft Corp. and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. are tight lipped when the next-generation PlayStation and Xbox arrive, however, a video game industry executive said recently that Microsoft had already started discussing certain concepts of the Xbox Next with the development community.
According to Mr. Yerli, whose company was concentrating on developing high-profile titles for personal computers for many years, the forthcoming CryEngine 3 will be highly scalable, hence, it should be relatively easy to tailor performance and quality for the next-generation hardware as well as the current-generation consoles, PS3 and Xbox 360.
"Whatever the next-generation will be, it will be more parallelism, more computation of what already exists. We are ready for that. Writing the driver layers for the next PlayStation or next Xbox will be quite simple for us. As soon as that knowledge becomes public, we will be on it," claimed chief exec of Crytek.
Mr. Yerli did not confirm whether he had any official knowledge regarding the next-generation leading-edge consoles. Still, it is hard to believe that Crytek has started the development without any knowledge regarding the target platforms.

Safety Demonstration Announcements
I've seen creative attempts by flight attendants to get the passengers attention for the safety demonstration. But now most flights use a pre-recorded video. Maybe this will work:
I've seen creative attempts by flight attendants to get the passengers attention for the safety demonstration. But now most flights use a pre-recorded video. Maybe this will work:
Ha, that's awesome! It made me watch...they should totally use this method
There's a movie, I think it's called Airplane '78, in which an airliner has crashed into the water and is intact underneath. The plot involves rescuing those trapped inside. And it's not intended as a comedy.
I just saw that movie a few months ago...It's called Airport '77 and I think it's the 3rd in the series of Airport movies.
It may not be a comedy, but I don't think Snakes on a Plane was supposed to be a comedy either. I'm just sayin' :-)
The minimalist artwork in this clip is amazing. Thanks for pointing it out.
That was a little creepy. But I did pay attention!
The title of this blog comes from my first observation after test-flying my home-built aircraft: "The wings stayed on!" And later I realized that life is often like that. We are continually faced with new adventures. And though we study and train and prepare as much as we can, finally we have to launch and put all this preparation to the test. And unexpected things still happen. As the bumper sticker says, Life Happens. And we deal with it - hopefully with a good dose of humour and hope. And if the "wings stayed on!" well at least that's the main thing. And everything else is just details.
My stories are usually drawn from looking back over my career, which thankfully has been pretty dull. Trust me. When flying a commercial airliner, boring is good. You wouldn't like exciting... So don't expect many stories about engines exploding, and wheels falling off, and cabins catching fire. Though that kind of stuff goes on, thankfully, it hasn't been my experience. My stories are the more mundane things, the little things that inhabit real life.
And while mundane is the reality of modern airline flying, still it's an amazing feat, a dramatic and dynamic accomplishment that we shouldn't take for granted. Perhaps day-in, day-out our world-wide airline industry represents our civilizations' most complex achievement. And though it has become mundane we should never forget that the real drama lies in the times when these bigger disasters are too close for comfort. The times when some small factors could produce seriously different outcomes.
Sometimes all the calm around you is an illusion -- a little like the movie Jurassic Park where the investors are touring the not-quite-ready-for-opening facility, while the technicians thrash away at command central, trying to keep everything together - trying to keep up the facade that it's all under control. But if it is, it's not by much.
Oh yeah, one more thing. Like everyone in the airline industry who's blogging, I'm hoping to write a book, and I'm practicing on you folks. I'm always trying to hone my story-telling skills so if you have any comments please leave them. Also, please respect the copyright thing.

Pillow is charged with killing his 65-year-old grandmother on May 4 and setting fire to her home at 708 N. Jefferson St.
Firemen were called to the house after neighbors heard an explosion and saw smoke coming from the home.
Inside the residence firemen found the body of Dorothy Pillow. One of the police officers at the scene confirmed later that the body had definite signs of trauma.
The first count of the indictment listed a charge of murder, a first degree felony. The second count was on a charge of arson, also a first degree felony.
If convicted of either charge, Pillow faces a possible 99-year or life sentence and a $10,000 fine.
Investigating officers were identified in the indictment as Sgt. Rene Guerrero of the Beeville Police Department and Texas Ranger James Bennett.
The indictment alleged that Pillow killed the victim with a knife and then set fire to her home "by causing an explosion or lighting paper or insulation in the attic of the property."
A detective in the investigation said the fire started in the same location at the back of the house where the victim's body was found.
Speculation on the part of investigators is that the suspect started the fire to cover up the crime, according to prior information.
District Judge Starr Bauer set bond at $1.5 million.
The suspect has been in the Bee County Jail since his arrest shortly after the incident.
That arrest was made the day after the fire when police saw him near the house and found marijuana on him.
He had become a suspect after BPD investigators learned that he had been the last person seen at the home the afternoon of the fire.
Detectives also said previously that Pillow reportedly worked odd jobs in the community and had lived with his grandmother at times.
Dorothy was raised in Karnes City. It wasn't until recently that she moved to Beeville — a central location that allowed her to be close to her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

The Hawaii Supreme Court denied a petition by the Hawaii State Teachers Association Wednesday morning to force the Hawaii Labor Relations Board to prematurely issue a decision regarding the ongoing labor dispute about HSTA's current contract, according to the attorney general.
The labor board undertook long and involved hearings lasting over several months about this dispute, and is currently considering all of the facts and legal issues presented in this important and complex case.
The court's ruling confirms that the labor board's determination of when and how to issue a ruling in this case remains in its discretion.
According to the attorney general, HSTA has attempted several times to force the Hawaii Labor Relations Board to issue a decision during this complex labor dispute. All of those efforts were rejected.
Wednesday's ruling represents the second time the Hawaii Supreme Court has reminded the HSTA that the Hawaii Labor Relations Board must be given the opportunity to rule on the labor dispute without interference, as is its responsibility under the law.
The Supreme Court previously rejected the HSTA's request "in light of the extended duration of the evidentiary proceeding (10 months) and the voluminous record" related to HSTA's presentation of their case at the Hawaii Labor Relations Board.
"We are pleased with the Supreme Court's ruling today. The court has agreed with us that the HLRB is subject to the 'promptness' requirement under HRS 377-9(d), since the HLRB has consolidated a decision on both the motion for interlocutory relief and decision on the merits of the complaint," said HSTA president Wil Okabe. "We now await a prompt decision from the HLRB, so that teachers can finally have the courts rule on the constitutional issues governing their rights to collective bargaining."

New Mexico Secretary of Higher Education Jose Garcia told Eastern New Mexico University students on Friday he was naive about growing up in a multicultural household. And how he would later learn to be proud of his heritage.
Garcia was the guest speaker at the Hispanic Affairs' luncheon in ENMU's Sandia Room which was part of Hispanic Heritage Month events.
His father, a diplomat, was Hispanic. His mother white. He moved around when he was young to places including Peru and Germany.
"I had no concept of ethnicity," Garcia said, thinking living in a bilingual and multicultural household was the norm.
He experienced culture shock when he settled in Dexter at age 14, he said. That was when he was exposed to segregation that divided the town. It didn't help that the Hispanic-Americans didn't feel he was Hispanic enough. He left New Mexico after graduating high school.
"I was tired of struggling with ethnicity," Garcia said. "I spent a great deal of my life explaining who I am."
Educated in the U.S. and in Spain, Garcia said he discovered who he was while working in Chico, Calif.
"I got a job in the affirmative action period," Garcia said. "I could be who I was, I didn't have to twist my personality into a pretzel."
While in Chico, he worked with organizations connected to American farm worker and labor leader Cesar Chavez.
"We could get Cesar on a 24-hour notice when we mentioned labor unions," Garcia joked.
A student asked Garcia how he came to terms with not relating to the Mexican-American community of New Mexico.
Garcia responded that it's important to be able to communicate with the language of people. He added that working with the organizations connected through Chavez made him realize that he was dedicated to a cause bigger than himself and that he was proud to be Hispanic-American.
Another student asked Garcia how he sees his journey in comparison to today's Hispanic-Americans.
Garcia said that the U.S. is more mature today than it was when he was growing up.
"Society is more open and tolerant," Garcia said. "That's a major change."
He said he does feel that ethnic solidarity has diminished. He cited the Jewish people as an example of ethnic solidarity because he said their population has survived over hundreds of years because of the strength of their identity.
An ENMU professor asked about Garcia's plans for New Mexico education.
Garcia said in order for New Mexico to be globally competitive, schools have to improve education and graduate more students.
"We can't get there unless we solve the achievement gap," Garcia said. "I'm always delighted to hear how well this school is doing. It's an exciting time for me to be involved in education."
Rey Coss, ENMU student body president, said Garcia visiting the campus was important.
"The leadership position and for it being Hispanic Heritage month means a lot for him to come," said Coss, who is Mexican-American. "Everything he said was about who we are as Hispanics and where we need to be."

U.S. Cancer Rates
By Health Day
Some promising news about the battle against cancer here in the United States.
Death rates continue to drop among men, women, across racial and ethnic groups, and in common categories including lung, colon, breast and prostate cancer.
But the news is not all good. Death rates for melanoma, an aggressive skin cancer, liver, pancreas and uterine cancer continue to rise.
The news comes out of the Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer -- with data collected and compared since 1975.
During the 10 year period between 2000 and 2009, cancer death rates decreased by 1-point-8 percent per year among men and by 1-point-4 percent per year among women.
The decline in overall cancer deaths first started trending in the early 1990's Researchers say the challenge is to continue this downward trend while facing new obstacles like obesity and HPV infections.
They are encouraging Americans to watch their weight and to quit smoking and are recommending that the HPV vaccine and prevention education remain in the forefront for young people. I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the health news that matters to you and your family.

Near the end of the 2005 UW-Minnesota game (the blocked punt TD game), Wisconsin called a timeout before a 3rd-and-short; if Minn gets the first down, the game is over. The entire game to that point, the Gophers had been running all over the Badger defense.
During the timeout, ESPN analyst Chris Spielman said something along the lines of "I guarantee you, the message on the sidelines from the coaches to the Badger defense for this play is 'It doesn't matter how you got to this point. It doesn't matter how good or how bad you've played so far today. BE GREAT NOW.' "

Rumblings xtra: Items that didn't make print edition
The Columbus Dispatch - April 11, 2014 09:31 AM
Dayton coach Archie Miller's name popped up in the Oakland Tribune as the kind of " A-list candidate" that California would like to hire as its new basketball coach, which shouldn't surprise anyone at the Atlantic 10 school after the Flyers' dramatic run to the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament.
But Tribune reporter Jeff Faraudo, who also listed Harvard's Tommy Amaker and Virginia Commonwealth's Shaka Smart among his A-listers, noted that "by all accounts, Cal has gotten nowhere with any of them."
A campus source told Faraudo that Cal officials are " trying to hit a home run," which shows how far Thad Matta's former Ohio State assistant has come in a short time.
Draft experts are everywhere, but out of 387 mock drafts monitored by the NFL Mock Draft Database, 111 (28.7 percent) have the Browns going with Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel with the No. 4 overall pick. Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins also gets a lot of Cleveland love from the mock drafters --- 74 (19.1 percent) think the Browns will take him there -- while 53 (13.7 percent) go with Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and 45 (11.6 percent) see them taking Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles.
The Browns may not get a chance to draft Bortles, though. He is the pick of 33 percent of the mockers to go No. 1 overall to Houston. Recent trends seem to favor Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson as the Browns pick, and news reports say that the Cleveland brass favors Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr over Manziel, mostly because of the latter's height (5-foot-11). But he hasn't had a workout for the Browns yet so that could change everything..
Confused? Expect a lot more confusion before the first pick is made on May 8.
Jim Christian might have had a better welcoming party when he was formally introduced as the new Boston College basketball coach this week. Ryan Anderson, the Eagles' most productive post player as a junior, had tweeted the night before that he planned to transfer, and the 8-24 team's best player, sophomore Olivier Hanlan, said that he is about a week and a half away from deciding whether to declare for the NBA draft.
Hanlan was third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in scoring in his second season at 18.5 points per game. He was the ACC Rookie of the Year as a freshman and was named third team all-ACC this season. Anderson averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds as a junior.
Hanlan told the Boston Herald that BC's firing of coach Steve Donahue and hiring of Christian, who coached Ohio the past two seasons, caught him by surprise.
"I obviously have a lot of good people around," Hanlan said. "Steve was helping me with the process. It kind of caught everybody by surprise when he got fired. I was kind of lost for a bit. Now I feel like my head is in a good position."
Luke Kennard, the Franklin (Ohio) High School basketball star who committed to Duke last month after considering Ohio State, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan and North Carolina, was one of 18 players selected to attend the USA U18 National Team training camp. The tryout will run from June 9-19 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center at Colorado Springs, Colo.
The 6-foot-5 junior averaged a state best 40 points per game and was named Ohio's Mr. Basketball by the Associated Press.

A Madison judge is expected to rule on a request to stay a police union's lawsuit challenging Gov. Scott Walker's polarizing collective bargaining law.
The law stripped most public workers of nearly all their union rights. The Wisconsin Law Enforcement Association filed suit in November alleging the law violates its members' free speech, association and equal protection rights.
The state Justice Department has asked Judge John Markson to stay the proceedings. The agency wants him to hold off until an appeals court weighs in on another Madison judge's decision to strike down the law as it applies to school and local government workers. DOJ attorneys argue the cases are similar and an appellate ruling would simplify matters.
Markson was expected to rule on the request Friday afternoon.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
He could've Raikiri raped Obito in the below scan . . .
He just want have some challenge :y
he dosent want to kill Obito
Not enough chakra, he had to use it to come out
I think kakashi doesnt want to kill obito
Originally Posted by Zlad

I don't think so as Kurama said he gave him chakra, plus he doesn't look too tired after he warped back.
He doesn't want to kill him
its jst troll no jutsu by Kishi. If he made kakashi do it then Obito wud be dead that is clearly what Kishi dont wants so Kishi can do whatever he wants. Its just sad by Kishi.

trolling right now where are all of kakashi wounds from last chapter The stab to the arm and leg or the X style slash on his chest
All of a sudden Hashirama isn't the only that can heal himself without making a seal :sy:
Kakashi didn't want to kill Obito.
Lol at people who say "OMG, what a troll, the X-scar is gone!!!".
Geez, it's not any element of the plot, neither does it matter at all whether the flak jacket is shown to be cut or not.
Kishi thought he didn't feel like drawing it all the time and that people would not care about something as unimportant as that.
But he underestimated the readers' obsession with finding plot holes in every chapter.
Kakashi felt like giving out a good old fashioned beatdown with his fists. His fists of fury. (Refer to panel where he makes Obito spit blood with a simple punch)
But seriously what would happen if you pulled Obito's midsection sharply in any direction, or exited Kamui with your hand held out above the floating body part (lightningless raikiri?)
you wanted the story to end already?

State warns of hungry bearsMarch 29,2014State warns of
hungry bears
Vermont residents are being urged to take down bird feeders because hungry bears are beginning to emerge from winter hibernation and finding the late arrival of spring means they cant get much to eat, the Department of Fish & Wildlife said Friday.
The cold end to winter and beginning of spring also could be hard on Vermonts deer, which use up much of their fat reserves during the winter, but it could benefit moose because the winter ticks that have become a problem for many moose dont survive prolonged cold weather. Moose arent as bothered by deep snow.
Despite the cold and snowy weather, bears are being spotted across the state, officials said.
Once we receive reports bears are out and about, we urge Vermonters to remove any bear attractants, said Mark Scott, Vermont Fish & Wildlifes director of wildlife. Take down your birdfeeder, seal up your garbage and turn on the electric fence around your chicken coop or beehive.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

I could really use some suggestions for comfortable positions to nurse in, especially out in public.
My situation:
- I have EXTREMELY large breasts (40GG)
- Currently forced to use nipple shield because DS won't nurse without one (trying to wean off the shield with no luck yet)
- DS is 9 weeks old and almost 13 pounds
At home I'm able to nurse just fine with the use of the BrestFriend pillow. I have DS lie on his side to nurse... I also tuck a rolled up blanket under my breast to help elevate it. In this position, once DS has good suction going, I can usually free one or both hands.
My problem is that I am 100% dependent on this pillow. I can't figure out a way to hold DS comfortably (for him and me) and also hold my very very heavy breast along with a nipple shield.
Is my situation hopeless? Or do any of you have very large breasts and some suggestions to offer? I don't even think I will be able to use the BrestFriend pillow at home forever as DS gets bigger and bigger... plus he never seems completely comfortable lying on his side like that. :/
[Also forgot to mention - I have tried the football hold before, but DS hates it and it seems like the weight of my breast is pressing down on him too much in that position]

Rescue crews aboard a fire helicopter flew into the area at around 7:30 a.m. after being notified of two missing hikers. Once on scene, rescuers located 12 hikers unable to cross the Hanakapi'ai Stream due to the high water level.
All 12 hikers were airlifted out of the valley without injury.
Residents and visitors are instructed not to cross fast flowing or rising water on foot or in a vehicle.

Chill Out1 of 9
By Lisa Cohen Lee
With the temperature hitting triple digits around the country, we'll do just about anything to beat the heat. Enter cooling beauty formulas, bronzing sprays, mists and serums that offer a soothing, icy touch.
Go for the Bronze2 of 9
Mist on a water-based bronzing formula that gives gams a shot of cold when applied. The washable formula dries in seconds and won't come off on clothes—but who's covering legs in this heat anyway?
SHOP NOW: Guerlain Terracotta Jambes De Gazelle Cooling Bronzing Mist, $59
Roll With It3 of 9
Balmy weather can lead to puffy eyes. To reduce swelling, apply this soothing serum. The metal ball in the roller serum stays cool, while the mint extracts refresh and revive. For an even frostier effect, store it in the fridge.
SHOP NOW: Garnier Skincare Skin Renew Anti-Puff Cooling Ice Roller, $13
Coconut Chiller4 of 9
Yes, drinking water is essential to keeping cool, but spraying it all over is like giving your body its own hit of air conditioning. "Anything that creates evaporation on your skin will physically drive away the heat," says Ruthie Harper, M.D., based in Austin. Spritz on a watery mist like this one—which has ultra-hydrating coconut water.
SHOP NOW: Bath and Body Coconut Water Chill Cooling Mist, $10
Prime Time5 of 9
Heat and makeup just don't mix. To prevent a major meltdown, use a primer. This lightweight formula feels icy going on, thanks to a stainless-steel applicator—just make sure to keep it in a cool place. In addition to a chill application, the formula also keeps foundation from slipping and streaking.
SHOP NOW: Laura Geller Spackle Supercharged Fortified Under Makeup Primer, $29
Make It Minty6 of 9
Need to freshen up after a sweltering day? Try mint-infused skincare. "The menthol in mint directly impacts hot and cold receptors in the skin, making you feel cooler," says Dr. Harper. Keep a peppermint-laced body wash, like this one, in your shower; a cool stream of water will enhance the icy sensation.
SHOP NOW: Organix Tea Tree Peppermint Cooling Body Wash, $7
Cool Kisses7 of 9
Enriched with Greek yogurt, this gloss helps hydrate, nourish and cool down lips. Swipe the shea-butter-packed formula across a chapped, dehydrated pout.
SHOP NOW: Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Lip Cooler, $19
Cool as a Cucumber8 of 9
Spent a little too much time in the sun? Bring on the cucumbers. "Cucumber has natural calming and anti-inflammatory properties that take down heat immediately," says Dr. Harper. Apply this soother over sun-drenched areas; the extracts of aloe vera and cucumber will calm it down, while the mica particles will give you a shimmery, glowy sheen.
SHOP NOW: Yes to Cucumbers Natural After-Sun Serum With Shimmer, $10
Scalp Soother9 of 9
To avoid overheating when styling your hair, run a dryer on the coolest setting through your hair and scalp. (This new dryer's cool button reaches 75 degrees in two seconds—most brands only go down to 90 degrees and take over five seconds to get there.) For frizz control, brush away flyaways with heat for a minute, then blast with the cold button to lock in shine.

text: I have been a stay at home mom since my dd was born 2/10/06. We thought this was a permenant thing but the funding for my husbands job was cut - resulting in him probably taking another job working days and making much less- so I have go back to work full time. We just found this out today and I start back in 4 days. I will be working 11pm to 6am, 5 days a week. I thought this would be best since she usually sleeps most of that time and only wakes for one feeding. I want to continue breastfeeding but will pump while at work. Is there a type of bottle/nipple that will be better to keep her from prefering a bottle? I also worry that she will have a hard time. my husband will be home with her when I am at work and I will be with her in the day time whike he works. it just seems he can't soothe her when she gets upset and that makes her more upset. I have witnessed this when i am making dinner and he is watching her. She works herself into a fit that sounds like she is crying in pain. He is really good with her but it takes mommy to calm her down. I also wanted anyone input on this, a friend of his told my hubby that since I have been able to stay at home with my dd for 3 months that my hubby should be able to be a stay at home dad while I work. Well...he isn't the one who is breastfeeding and he made about 3X what I alone will be able to make. His friend said that he would trade with any stay at home mom because it is like a party, go to the zoo today, go somewhere else the next day and so on. I dunno I feel really sad. I have never been around a baby before mine and every day is magic, it's amazing. I feel like I am going to really miss out on her growing up now. Any advice or suggestions will be appreiciated.

Expert Q & A Answers About skin-colored lumps
Could you give me some ideas as to what these small, skin-colored lumps might be between my vagina and anus?
I discovered some small, skin-colored lumps in between my vagina and anus. They don't hurt or itch, and my boyfriend seems to be okay. Could you give me any ideas as to what this could be? (I've been with my boyfriend for nearly five months and we haven't slept with anyone else.)

My thesis examined evolving interpretations of Revolutionary War militiamen who fought at the Battle of King's Mountain, and the forces that shaped the way Americans remembered that event.
I've done two tours of duty doing curatorial-type work at a Lincoln/Civil War museum on the campus of my alma mater, where I helped research, write, and design exhibits in addition to assisting with collections management, publications, and various other duties. In addition, I spent a year running a historic house museum in Kentucky.
Right now I teach history at Lincoln Memorial University. I've had the opportunity to do upper-division courses in my area of expertise and the general survey classes. I've published a few articles in scholarly journals as well as pieces for historical publications aimed at general readers.
This site is basically a soapbox for me to expound on matters relating to American history, especially from the colonial era through the Civil War. Historical books, sites, exhibits, debates, myths, personalities, and preservation are all fair game. I'm particularly interested in the American Revolution and the early history of Tennessee. Occasionally I'll indulge in a post about dinosaurs, too, so I'm afraid you'll just have to learn to deal with that.
I'm also an editor and contributor to the blog of the Abraham Lincoln Institute for the Study of Leadership and Public Policy.
I'm a reluctant blogger, because I agree wholeheartedly with John Lawton's statement: "The irony of the Information Age is that it has given new respectability to uninformed opinion." Hopefully you find my opinions here to be informed, but not too respectable.

Als0, she has thrush...ahhhh.Should I wait until that clears up?
