Amazing Stories™ and Undefeated® Going on Hiatus
Paizo Publishing uses break to examine unique opportunities
Paizo Publishing, LLC, publisher of special-interest gaming and entertainment magazines DRAGON®, DUNGEON®, Undefeated® and Amazing Stories™, announced today that it will temporarily suspend publication of two of its titles—Amazing Stories and Undefeated. Despite respectable sales and increasing circulation, both periodicals face substantial market pressures and competition. Paizo intends to use the break to explore unique opportunities to revamp and reposition each magazine.
"We remain quite proud of these titles, and are presently considering a number of options that should provide a long and exciting future for both magazines," says Lisa Stevens, co-owner and CEO of Paizo Publishing. "Both Amazing Stories and Undefeated are doing well in their respective niches; nevertheless, we believe that they could be even more successful. We certainly value the support our subscribers and regular readers have shown to Amazing Stories and Undefeated, and we hope that this hiatus will be brief."
Amazing Stories #608 went on sale January 4, with Undefeated scheduled to reach newsstands on January 18. These will be the last regular issues printed prior to the hiatus. As Paizo is still developing plans for the continued publication of both magazines, at this time subscriptions are not automatically being cancelled or transferred to other titles. Subscribers wishing to cancel their subscriptions can contact Paizo Publishing at firstname.lastname@example.com. Plans are also underway for subscribers and visitors to the Paizo e-commerce store--http://paizo.com/--to obtain an exclusive e-copy of Amazing Stories #609 in early February. Back issues of both magazines are also available at the http://paizo.com/ Web site.

In this excellent style of points you'll receive an A just for effort. Where you in fact confused us was inside your facts. You know, they say, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn't be more accurate here. Having said that, let me reveal to you just what exactly did deliver the outcomes. The writing can be pretty persuasive and that is possibly the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that.

For appropriate now I will subscribe to your position nevertheless wish in the near future you truly connect your dots significantly greater.

30 Iowa Conference titles
PELLA—Finding the end zone early will be a point of emphasis Saturday as Central College treks to Decorah for an Iowa Conference football game at Luther College
Game time is 1 p.m. at Carlson Stadium. Trevor Castle will call the action on KRLS-FM (92.1). The broadcast can also be accessed at www.kniakrls.com or through www.central.edu/athletics.
Records—Central is 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the league. The Dutch erased a 23-0 deficit last Saturday but missed some scoring opportunities in the red zone, suffering a 30-25 setback to Buena Vista University.
Luther is searching for its first season win at 0-6 overall with a 0-3 conference mark. The Norse jumped to a 10-0 first-quarter lead last Saturday before Wartburg College took over for a 24-10 win.
The series—Central toppled the Norse last year, 37-9, with four touchdowns in a 13-minute span in the second half. The Dutch haven't lost to Luther since 2008 and hold a 50-22-1 lead in the all-time series, which began in 1928.
The Norse—Luther is averaging 186.5 yards a game passing and 123.2 yards rushing while giving up an average of 193.3 yards through the air and 178.2 yards on the ground. The squad's pass defense ranks second in the conference.
"Luther plays a lot of man-to-man," coach Jeff McMartin said. "They'll put pressure on you and they cover well and run well. You've got to be patient and take advantage of what they give you."
The Norse graduated all-America linebacker Kyle McGivney, but return seven starters on defense including two all-league picks from last year's 3-7 club. Senior linebacker Trent Kerrigan (5-10, 2-5) ranks second in the conference with 71 tackles. He's made 36 solo stops and two sacks.
Offensively, Luther has seven starters back. Senior quarterback Kody Moore (6-3, 235) has completed 103 of 186 passes for 1,103 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
"He wasn't their starting quarterback last year, but he played against us," McMartin said. "He's a big kid who throws the ball well and moves around well in the pocket."
Moore's top targets are senior wide receiver Zach Jipp (6-0, 210) and junior receiver Matt Jaronik (5-11, 180). Jipp has 261 yards on 25 catches with one touchdown while Jaronik has 266 yards on 24 catches with two touchdowns. Senior backup Adam Bohr (6-1, 200) has racked up 308 yards on just 19 catches.
On the ground, senior running back Dan Ridenour (5-9, 200) has 76 carries for 352 yards with two touchdowns. He has the team's most all-purpose yards, averaging 82.5 a game.
"Luther has a lot of people back on offense," McMartin said. "They use them all in various positions and they do a nice job up front."
Senior placekicker Seth Streeter (5-11, 175) has connected on 4-of-5 field goals, which is second in the league behind Central's Kevin Sheldon (sophomore, West Des Moines, Valley HS), who is 6-for-7.
Slow out of the gate—Central is racking up points in the second half, outscoring opponents 102- 58, but the Dutch have struggled to get going early. Central has been held scoreless in the first quarter the past two weeks.
"Getting off to a quick start and getting some momentum will be important," McMartin said. "We've got to take advantage of opportunities and make plays."
The Dutch did generate some offensive numbers last Saturday, outgaining Buena Vista 444 yards to 352. Sophomore quarterback Aaron Eiseler (Mesa, Ariz., Red Mountain HS) came in after Central's second possession and completed a career-high 29 of 49 passes for 278 yards with two interceptions and a touchdown.
Central had a 166-34 rushing yardage advantage against the Beavers and running back Ross Doehrmann (senior, Williamsburg) tallied a season-high 79 yards on 13 carries.
Clean it up—McMartin has been talking about eliminating turnovers all year, and this week is no different. Central had two turnovers in the red zone at Buena Vista and has committed 17 for the year.
"Eliminating mistakes has been the focus of our team for a number of weeks now," McMartin said. "We need to get past those critical errors that are jumping up and getting us."
Central has scored on just six of 11 trips inside the red zone the past two weeks, but are 17-23 for the year (74 percent). The squad's opponents aren't much more efficient with 18 scores on 23 attempts (78 percent).
"When you get in the red zone you've got to get points on the board," McMartin said. "That's one of the things that really bit us last week. We've spent a lot of time on it in practice during the week and it's something we want to be good at."
They don't quit—McMartin is happy with the team's fight.
"The guys play hard and battle and we're pleased with their effort," he said. "They have an attitude to never quit, which is a good quality in football and in life."
Notes—Sophomore Jordan Wachter (sophomore, Clive, Waukee HS) slides into the starting linebacker slot, replacing an injured Andrew Weaks (senior, Fulton, Ill.)…Central's defeats to Simpson and Buena Vista are the program's first back-to-back losses since 2004…The Dutch completed 2 of 2 fourth-down conversions at Buena Vista and are leading the league at 9-13 (69.2 percent).

#5 Jaguar XJ220
Top Speed:
7.9 secs
The Jaguar XJ220 is a mid-engined supercar produced by Jaguar in collaboration with Tom Walkinshaw Racing as Jaguar Sport between 1992 and 1994. It held the record for the highest top speed of a production car (350 km/h, 217 mph) until the arrival of the McLaren F1 in 1994. The XJ220 is unrelated with the other XJ models, although shares the same name 'XJ'.
In the early days of the company, certain Jaguar employees had created an informal group they called "The Saturday Club" (so-named because they would meet after-hours and on weekends to work on unofficial pet-projects). In the 1980s, Jaguar's chief-engineer Jim Randle, as part of that group, began work on what he saw as competition for cars like the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 959. He envisioned what was essentially an updated XJ13 - a lightweight two-seater with a powerful mid-mounted V12 engine. Randle expanded on the idea by settling on all wheel drive for increased traction and better handling and an integral safety-cage so the car could be safely raced at extremely high speeds. From the outset, the intention was to create a vehicle capable of exceeding 320 km/h (200 mph).
Concept car
Jaguar executives who saw the concept were sufficiently impressed to formally commit company resources to producing a car for the 1988 British Motor Show. Tom Walkinshaw Racing was tapped to produce a 6.2 L version of Jaguar's legendary V12 engine with four valves per cylinder, quad camshafts and a target output of 500 hp (370 kW; 510 PS). The all wheel drive system was produced by FF Developments who had experience with such systems going back to the 1960s and the Jensen FF. The styling of the car was done by Keith Helfet and included scissor-style doors similar to those in use by Lamborghini in several of their cars. The name XJ220 was assigned as a reference to the targeted top-speed of 220 mph (350 km/h).
The prototype car was significantly heavier at 1,560 kg (3,439 lb) than other Jaguar racers like the XJR-9. But as it was intended to be, first and foremost, a roadcar, it would be more appropriate to compare it with something like the XJS; in spite of being 30-inch (762 mm) longer and 10-inch (254 mm) wider and even with the added weight of the all wheel drive system, the Jaguar XJ220 was still 170 kg (375 lb) lighter than the XJS.
The car was officially announced in 1989 with a price of £361,000 ($580,000 USD) and prospective buyers were expected to put up a deposit of £50,000 ($80,000 USD) to be put on the waiting list for delivery. Because Jaguar promised to limit initial production to 220 units and that total production would not exceed 350, many of those who put deposits on the cars were speculators who intended to sell the car at an immediate profit.
Production version
The production version of the car was first shown to the public in October 1991 after undergoing significant changes. The most obvious of which was a completely different drivetrain and the elimination of the scissor doors. TWR was charged with producing the car and had several goals/rules: the car would be rear wheel drive instead of all wheel drive; would have a turbocharged V6 engine instead of the big V12; and performance goals of over 200 mph (320 km/h), 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.8 seconds, and the lightest weight possible.
The 6.2 L V12 had been judged too difficult to get past increasingly strict emission regulations, and there were also reportedly some design problems caused by the size of the power plant. It was replaced with a Tom Walkinshaw-developed 3.5 L V6 based on the engine used in the Austin Metro 6R4 rally car and fitted with twin Garrett T3 turbochargers, generating 542 bhp (404 kW; 550 PS) of maximum power at 7000 rpm and 476 lb•ft (645 N•m) of torque at 4500 rpm. This engine was the first V6 in Jaguar's history, and was the first to use forced induction. In spite of the smaller displacement and half the number of cylinders, the engine produced more power than the V12 would have. However, potential customers judged the exhaust note to be harsh and the lag from the turbos to be an annoyance. Also missing from the production version of the car was the Ferguson all wheel drive - the production car had only rear driven wheels, through a conventional transaxle - and the ABS.
During the boom period of the late 80s, the stunning Jaguar XJ220 prototype had buyers flocking to Jaguar in droves with their £50,000 deposits in hand. With the promise of four wheel drive and a 500bhp Jaguar V12 this sounded like a dream come true for enthusiasts and speculators alike. Unfortunately, when production finally began in the early 90s, the boom had gone and Group B (for which the XJ220 was originally conceived) had disappeared. Not only this but Jaguar had made the bizarre decision to ditch the 4wd and replace the V12 engine for a Turbo V6. This led to disgruntled customers, many of whom launched court cases against Jaguar, only to lose, and ultimately unsold 220s. The car entered production in 1992 in a purpose built factory at Bloxham near Banbury, and the first cars were delivered to customers in July. Original customers included Elton John and the Sultan of Brunei.
Many of the initial customers were dissatisfied not only with the modifications to the original specification but the significant increase in delivery price from the original £361,000 to £403,000 ($650,000 USD). Another blow to potential sales was a global recession which took hold between the car's original announcement and its eventual release. This caused many original speculators to not want to buy the car, either because they were no longer able, or because they did not think they could sell it on. Further complicating the issue was Tom Walkinshaw's offer of the faster (by acceleration, not top speed), more expensive and more exclusive XJR-15 which was based on the Le Mans champion XJR-9. Some customers reportedly either sued Jaguar or threatened to sue; in any case, Jaguar gave the customers the option to buy themselves out of the delivery contract. As a result, many of the owners challenged Jaguar in court where the Judge eventually sided with Jaguar. To reduce costs the use of parts from mass production cars had been extensive; for example the rear view mirrors came from the Citroën CX 2 Series.
Racing version
A racing version called the XJ220C was also made. The XJ220C, driven by Win Percy won its first race, a round of the BRDC National Sports GT Challenge at Silverstone. Three works XJ220C's were entered in the 1993 Le Mans 24 Hour race, in the newly created Grand Touring Class. Two of the cars retired but one XJ220, driven by John Nielsen, David Brabham and David Coulthard took the checkered flag to take a class win. This, however, was revoked two weeks later, when the XJ220C was disqualified for a technical infringement.
So it may have been a beautiful car, but it never quite lived up to the dynamic or performance targets the concept promised. Such a shame given Jaguar's rich heritage.

Material things
Mark 10:17-31
On the way out of my city I often pass a large self-storage center. Rows and rows of nondescript units are lined up like barracks at an army base. I often wonder what is inside those storage units: treasured heirlooms, vast collections of National Geographic, broken and tattered belongings that someone doesn't want to give up?
I note the sign saying Self-Storage and wonder: How many selves do we lock up inside with those possessions?
Whether or not we rent a storage unit, we do tend to define ourselves by our belongings. The colonists revolted against the Stamp Act of the British Empire by boycotting British goods. This first major, coordinated protest against imperial rule in America not only turned the colonists into Americans, but also defined Americans by what they did or did not buy. To be American was to wear homespun clothes. Material consumption and possession have continued to be the means by which we define ourselves.

Rush's Morning Update: Kicked to the Curb!
October 9, 2009
Watch It! Download Morning Update Video in QuickTime
Listen to It! Windows Media Player|RealPlayer
Christine Angarola is the spokesbabe for the Chicago office of Senator Dick Turban(Democrat-Illinois). Earlier this week, she scolded the management of WTAD-AM, the oldest radio station in Quincy, Illinois,and one of myaffiliates.
Ms. Angarola told the station they would no longer be sent media information from Turban's office. Why? Because they had the audacity to broadcast it! They dared inform Quincy residents of Senator Turban's plans to visit a local hospital,to hold a meeting on health care reform. For that crime, WTAD-AM-- 930 on the dial-- has been officially blackballed.
A note at the bottom of news releases sent by Turban's officeadvises news outlets that the time and location of the senator's visits are for "media planning purposes only",and not to be shared with Turban's constituents. But Mike Moyers,the general manager of STARadio Corporation(which owns the station),said that despite the directive, he thought it was important that citizens have a chance to approach their senator about health care.
Keep in mind: Democrats just allocated a half-million-dollar increase in the Congressional budget to publicize town meetings. But Dick Turban,the Senate's second-in-command --behind Dingy Harry-- wants no dealings with you Quincy common-trash voters. Who thehell do you think you are, anyway,to believe he should listen to your infantile concerns? If you're not a big donor-- get lost! Senator Dick Turban is royalty. You Quincy voters are dirt. Don't ever again forget your place again, or they'll sic Sebelius on you next time!

According to this article, Ho Ngoc Ha fell in love with Cuong Do La for who he is, not because of his massive fortune. In her words "I would have already agreed to be his girlfriend when I was new in the showbiz if I was aiming for his wealth. Instead, I've worked hard for my career and we fell in love after I had some accomplishments in the entertainment business. Our son is my gift to him."

Mankato is a small community that has all of the benefits of a big city. The population of Mankato was estimated in 2006 as 34,970, with an additional 1.6 million living within 60 miles of the city limits. Mankato is located slightly more than 60 miles from the Twin Cities, nestled into rolling hills at the convergence of the Minnesota and Blue Earth Rivers. The name "Mankato" originated from the name given to the area by its original residents. The Dakota Indians called the area "Mahkato," which translates to "greenish blue earth." It's widely believed that an undetected spelling error resulted in the city's current name.
The area enjoys a strong economic base, thanks to the city government, which works to foster a strong economic status, and Minnesota State University, which lends vibrancy to the city's economy. Mankato was named in the top 10 percent of the nation's micropolitans. Some of the ways the government helps continue economic growth include tax incentives and financing opportunities. The government of Mankato also partners with businesses to help them grow and thrive through organizations such as the Business Development Organization. The city helps growing businesses with technical assistance and engineering guidance, as well as provids a community profile and data startup services. A few of the major employers in Mankato include:
The city of Mankato accommodates a mostly urban population of nearly 36,000. Neighborhoods and districts of Mankato accommodate around 12,500 houses, out of which more than 12,000 are occupied. Of the occupied houses, more than half are owner-occupied, while renters occupy the rest. The neighborhoods of Mankato have a housing density of approximately 837 houses or condos per square mile.
The walkability of Mankato is very good, as most grocery stores, restaurants and schools are within a mile's distance from the center of the city.
Minnesota State University, Mankato: This four-year university has the third largest student body in Minnesota, with more than 14,000 students enrolled in the fall of 2008. (This number includes students in the Mankato campus as well as those who attend the Twin Cities campus.) The sports teams are called the Minnesota State University Mavericks and mostly compete in NCAA Division II in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. The ice hockey teams compete in the NCAA Division I level in the prestigious Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Athletic teams available to students include baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football, golf, hockey, track and field, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and wrestling.
Bethany Lutheran College: Commonly known as BLC, this college is a private coed college associated with the Evangelical Lutheran Synod and is located on the Minnesota River Valley in Mankato. The college athletic teams are known as the Vikings. They are members of the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference and play in the NCAA Division III. In addition to this association, they are also associated with the National Christian College Athletic Association. Sports available to students include baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.
Rasmussen College: Rasmussen College is a private college that offers associate and bachelor's degrees in its satellite campus in Mankato.
South Central College: South Central College is commonly known as SCC and is a two-year community and technical college. The home campus for SCC is located in southern Minnesota; North Mankato is home to a satellite campus.

Thanks for joining me at the Nines today -- my name is Frank Turk, and I'm a blogger, and you can read more about me in the author bios if you find any of today's talk especially compelling.
Before I have a go at this, I was tempted to tell you about my "last week" and my "this week" as I prepared this talk. But as far as that goes, you probably don't want to know "how I do it." I work in the supply chain for global renewable energy, and my job is like being Batman but without the unlimited Wayne Industries resources and without the awesome bat-cave office space but with all the same assortment of crazy people who need to be corralled, contained or incarcerated.
I mean: I'm a guy who works in a wholly-secular industry with its own theology and end-times strategy, and I get it that it seems good to be a professional person with a word of wisdom because I do such a great job.
But here's the thing: I know for a fact that my way of doing anything is prone to one thing only, and that's making much of me – making sure I stay important and I stay needed. That's why I see myself as Batman, right? Dark, cool, and utterly necessary -- even if people have to fear me.
But look: I believe in the Real Jesus. And the first thing that has to mean is this: I am not Him - I can't be him. I can't lead like Jesus because I am not Lord of All: I have to lead like someone Jesus has saved. If I can start my engagement with other people by knowing there is a Real Jesus, and I am not him but a subject of his ridiculously-generous sacrifice, I can probably knock off about two-thirds of my natural tendency to pounce on the wicked from the shadows -- because I have to realize that I am the wicked, and I could have been rightly struck down by God, and instead he saved me.
The guys who followed Jesus around had this same problem. You can imagine when James' and John's mother asked Jesus if her boys could be his left-hand and right-hand men, the other apostles were a little worked up. But he said to them, "Look: the kings and leaders of the people without God are in the authority business, worried about who is the one guy in charge – but it isn't supposed to be like that with you fellows. With you, whoever would be great among you must be a servant." The Greek there is the word for "waiter". And Jesus made sure to say this so we understand his point: "You must be a servant even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Another time Jesus said it plainly: "I am the good shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep. A hired hand is not a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, and he runs away when a wolf comes because he doesn't care anything for the sheep."
Jesus says that the way you get great in his order of things is by laying down your life for other people, not by becoming like the best in class among the those who have a different economy than God does.
Let me be honest: I find myself caught in this trap all the time. So when I sit down to do my work, or something like ministry, I know I need to check myself to make sure that the means and motives of the ungodly are not pushing out my fundamental love for Jesus, and also for his people – some of whom are not yet saved.
Think about it: are you seeking how to lead God's people until Jesus returns? if that's true, what are Jesus' means and methods for achieving his ends?
I only have about another minute, so here's a short list of Jesus' means & methods:
- saying the things God has said rather than the things the world says
- confessing our sins not just in general, but specifically when we blow it
- loving our wives the way christ loves the church
- suffering for those who cannot pay us back
- giving up glory the way christ gave up glory to show people real love rather than just good manners
I can't lead the right way – that is, the way Jesus calls me to – if I do it my way. I have to do it his way, which is the way that saved me in the first place. And if instead I want to be a leader who sits at his left hand or his right hand, Jesus tells me plainly: I am doing it wrong. I need to be a servant for the sake of others, and to die for them.
And listen carefully: if that's true for a guy who works at a secular job, how much more true is that for those of you who are working inside God's house with God's People? Does your model of leadership look like a servant who dies for the sake of other people – or does it look like you're getting all the right people on the bus so that you can get into the fly wheel effect and out of the doom loop?
Think about that today because Jesus wants you to think about that. That is explicitly how he said to do it, and this is your chance to listen to him.
My name is Frank. Enjoy the rest of the day.

Rachel Carson
In 1951 Rachel Carson wrote a book called The Sea Around Us that won the National Book Award and was on the bestseller list for 86 weeks! Rachel Carson was born on May 27, 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania. She loved nature ever since she was a child.
Rachel graduated from Pennsylvania College for Women (now Chatham College) in 1929. She switched from a major in English to science after a biology course. Then she went to John Hopkins University to earn a M.A. in zoology in 1932, studied at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Rachel taught zoology at the University of Maryland from 1931 to 1936. For the next fifteen years she worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a scientist and editor. She was able to combine her love nature and her gift for writing. Rachel wrote pamphlets on conservation and natural resources. She became famous as a naturalist. In 1952 Rachel Carson left government service to work on her writing.
Rachel wrote these books:
The Sea Around Us showed just what a talented writer Carson was. Silent Spring warned about harmful pesticides. "It was a spring without voices….there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh." This is a quote from Silent Spring. Rachel called it a silent spring because the birds had been killed by pesticides. Rachel testified before the U.S. Congress in 1963. She asked Congress to write new policies that protected humans and the environment from pesticides.
After a long fight with breast cancer Rachel Carson died in April 14, 1964 in Silver Spring, Maryland. In 1970 the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge in Maine was named after her.

I still can't get over how old The Good Wife skews. I really enjoy the show and hope its critical acclaim and awards gets it another season because the 18-49 demos won't do it alone.
I like the Parenthood too and I'm sorry to see that it's not doing better in the ratings. I usually DVR them both and watch the next night.

Continuing on our '70s theme, Steve McQueen's effortless cool defined the decade, and his passion for racing combined with his success as a film star allowed him to work on his own personal cinematic tribute to automotive competition. A labour of love for him (and frustration for many others), the result was 1971's epic Le Mans: one of the all time great racing films – up there with John Frankenheimer's Grand Prix from 1966. But whereas Grand Prix included a more traditional romantic plot and set of characters, Le Mans was brutally raw. McQueen's main driver, Michael Delaney, says little during the entire film and nothing at all until 36 minutes in. Dialogue in general is scarce. He lets the cars do the talking.
The start scene is a case in point, and still sends shivers down my spine. You see the main cars: Porsche 917s, Ferrari 512s. You see the drivers and their preparations. McQueen almost caressing his steering wheel, officials unfurling flags, visors coming down… But you hear nothing. No sound at all.
Then as the clock ticks down you hear the staccato beat of a heart, increasing in tempo as 4pm approaches… Fingers flicker near starters, spectators crane forward for a better view… The heartbeat gets quicker, louder… And then the clock strikes 4pm, the flag drops and all hell is unleashed on track. It's automotive perfection.
Watch this clip, then buy the film, sit back and revel in McQueen's unbridled passion. It's the kind of film that's unlikely to ever be made again. Perhaps only Rush will come close?

The '70s theme on Speedhunters
This film is for the real car guys. The Fast and Furious films are for posers, little kids and people with bad taste If Paul Walker had actually made a film like this I would have respected him and seen him more of a real legitimate actor. Let's face it anyone who knows anything about films will tell you that the Fast & Furious franchise is all about cheap thrills...there's no depth to the storyline whatsoever.
This movie is epically perfect. I love the fact that there's all of 20 words in the entire script. Definitely shows how much of a car guy Steve McQueen was.
Such a brilliant film. Not one for the average movie-goer or even casual car/motorsport fan, but for anyone passionate about racing this film ticks all the boxes in a way that no other film has ever matched (in my opinion). Real racing cars filmed at racing speeds on argubaly the most iconic racing track in the world: and no CG! (And personal bias. it includes the Porsche 917, one of the greatest looking racing cars of all time in my opinion)
Everything else is just waiting.
The wife hates whenever this is on. I sit staring at the television, a small river of drool coming from the corner of my mouth. She claims she could dance naked in front of me and I wouldn't notice. She is almost right... almost. I would at least tell her to get out of the way...
Love this film, although the lack of dialogue early on can throw some people, but like a piece of music without some stupid tart yodeling over top of it, you can feel the emotion they put into this movie.
Great, now I have to go out and buy this film (and convince my anti-auto racing wife this will make a great evening of viewing). I seen this back in the late Seventies (my friends and I made a long weekend of watching car movies: Grand Prix, Le Mans, On Any Sunday, Gone In 60 Seconds (original of course), Vanishing Point....Good times
I always like to think that Michael Delaney is somehow related to me.
@Gomez85 I've got all of those on DVD and I garentee at least 10 views each!

Can you help me identify an old Macintosh shareware game?
I'd like to know the name of an old classic Mac OS shareware/freeware game I played as a kid (probably within a year or two of 1997). It was actually more of a freeware tech demo than a finished game. It had un-textured polygonal 3D graphics that were interlaced. You played as a (yellow?) wedge-shaped spaceship and flew around a semi-urbanized island. The spaceship could shoot, and there were other ships in an area that you could blow up, but there was no point-system or objectives. It may have had no sound, either. I remember being very impressed by the graphics at the time. [more inside]
I'm pretty sure this one is unsolvable.
My sister and I are trying to find the name of a Mac shareware or freeware game from the early or mid 90s. It involved going to a spooky hotel and becoming trapped in the hotel room. You had to solve a series of puzzles to escape. [more inside]
Gaming from the people, for the people
I'm looking for fun (or at least interesting), freeware (not just free) Windows games, created by amateurs or semi-amateurs. The folk art of video games, if you will. (I suppose the term "freeware" has fallen out of favor—but you know what I mean, yes?) [more inside]
Best shareware -- 2.0
It has been about 4 years since I asked this question. Now that we are in 2013, I am curious what people think now. In brief, what is your favorite shareware (over freeware alternatives)? That is to say, what direct download applications between the price of $5 and $50 do you swear by? Four years ago, my few examples included Reqall Pro (no longer use), Ultramon (still use), and WifiHopper (no longer use). I was also back then considering Evernote Premium (which I now use heavily). Added bonus points for comments concerning the customer support of your favorite shareware titles.

What was this "Game"?
When I was in college in the mid-90s, I had a "game" (broadly defined) for my Macintosh Quadra 650 (aw yiss!) that was labeled ITA Choco.

Pimp my office PC, nonprofit style

I am working on an academic project in which a significant question has come up -- why do people distribute software as freeware (not open source) or shareware in situations where it is just as easy to distribute it commercially, using systems like Palmgear or Handango?

Image cropping program for Windows XP
I've made a website for a relative; she wants to be able to add photos to it. I'm get her using WordPress to update the site, and she's got no problem with its upload procedure.
The problem is that she hasn't got good image editing software. None of the various options avialble to her (she's running Windows XP) allow her to crop an image to an aspect ratio; most don't even let her crop an image to a particualr pixel size. She shouldn't have to spring the big bucks for Photoshop. So my question is, what freeware/shareware is out ther for Windows users that allows users to crop to aspect ratio and pixel size?

Website Builders
This is kind of an embarassing question. Is there any decent cheap or shareware software for building basic websites? I know how to edit HTML pretty well, and even tinker with CSS to get it to do what I want, but I don't know how page structure/architecture really works. I want to build a very basic website where I can have an inaccessible image/media folder (to serve to my Blogger-hosted blog, which I'll eventually migrate to a subdomain) and just a few pages of text. All I get from the controls where my domain name is hosted (GoDaddy) is an IP address and a login. After that it's up to me, evidently.
Where else can I download Processing?
I am trying to download Processing, but after I put in my Email it gives me a server error message. Does anybody know of an alternate download location (or would be nice enough to send me the installer)?

text: arry Bartel is an attorney with Holland & Hart LLP in Denver, specializing in representation of natural gas producers. He learned appreciation for the beauty of wood creations from his father, who crafted many pieces of furniture from black walnut harvested from the family farm in Kansas. While working in Bolivia for five years in the middle of his law career, Bartel tried to find a piece of local native wood whenever he travelled, not knowing what he would make with them. When he moved to his home on Lookout Mountain, one wall seemed the perfect place to display a creation showing the different kinds of wood. Bartel created a kind of wood collage measuring 36 inches by 53 inches, with 40 pieces of wood, including 22 types of wood from South and Central America. The horizontal "earth" piece is mahogany wood Bartel brought back after living in Haiti following college. The other wood pieces include types with English equivalents ("cedro" is "cedar"), names with literal English translations ("palo sangre" means "blood wood"), and exotic names without known equivalents (such as "tarara" or "jichituriqui"), with beautiful grains displaying shades of green, purple, red, yellow, and brown. When his middle school-aged niece saw the piece, she thought it looked like "roots and branches" of trees, which has become its title. "I never considered myself an artist, but I enjoy being creative in analyzing legal issues, in solving problems, and in working with wood," Bartel said.

For Revenge, murder is just a warm-up. "Union" saw all the characters join forces, with some partnerships more doomed than others. While the episode wasn't a bore, it wasn't enough to distract us from the weekly waiting game.
The Players:
- Director: Wendey Stanzler
- Writers: Michael Foley and Ted Sullivan
- Cast: Emily Van Camp, Madeleine Stowe, Gabriel Mann, Nick Wechsler, Henry Czerny, Josh Bowman, Christa B. Allen, Ashley Madekwe, Connor Paolo, Margarita Levieva, Barry Sloane, Dilshad Vadsaria, James Tupper, Wendy Crewson, Michael Trucco, Jamila Jones
Episode Title: "Union"
Daniel falls deeper into The Initiative's plot as Victoria fights to save him. Meanwhile, Jack and Amanda make their way to their wedding, while trying to free themselves from Conrad's grasp.
The Good:
- Redemption: Did Victoria really think she was shrouded from The Initiative's omnipotent eye in Daniel's office? It's the very place they'd monitor to ensure their newest Grayson puppet's complicity. Warning Daniel was pertinent, but her character deserves more than that. Thank goodness the writers allowed her to redeem herself by getting the upper hand on Helen Crawley. Helen doubted she had the resolve to kill in cold blood, but we knew different. Victoria will always be an ice queen, the root of her dirtiest deeds has been protecting her children. Killing Helen was a done deal the second Victoria grasped the gun. It gave us a necessary thrill and Victoria a moment of strength—something she hasn't had in a while.
- Reunited: The final shot of Victoria, Daniel and Conrad standing over Helen's body was brilliant. It presented the Grayson family—well, a third of it—as untied. With them working together we're practically guaranteed a spectacle.
- Ruined: Just like an amateur, Amanda overplayed her hand. Her heart was in the right place, but even a second of thought might have helped her realize that in showing Conrad the damning video, he might notice the other recordings on Emily's laptop. Or maybe he would take into account her poverty and realize that Emily—her ridiculously wealthy best-friend—is pooling her resources to aide her? Essentially, she's given away the battle to win the war.
- Romantic Ruin: As the newlyweds floated off to one or both of their dooms, the crushing thought of their demise put us at a crossroads. Jack or Amanda? The answer feels obvious (Jack of course), Amanda has fought for our respect for most of the season. It made us uneasy, this weird—and hopefully fleeting—desire for her to live. It's that illogical yearning that led us to the conclusion that Nate could be the one meeting an untimely end on The Amanda
The So-So:
- Reluctance: We love Nolan to pieces. He's one of the things that keeps our heart tethered to this show. But the number one rule of Revenge is listen to Emily. We suppose it's a good thing to know that Padma's another unwilling participant in The Initiative's plans. Either it's too late to save her father, or The Initiative will discover Padma's betrayal and bring a world of terror upon Nolan and his little princess.
- The Return: Ashley reclaimed her title as the opportunistic sneak when she appeared to overhear Conrad admitting his role in the terrorist plot years ago. Whether or not she heard the whole conversation is unclear. If she did, she could easily figure out that Conrad set up David Clarke.
- The Rewind: Let Aiden's implosion serve as a reminder: Revenge isn't for everyone. As we suspected, the video of his sister's murder was made six years ago, but that didn't stop him from lashing out and blaming Emily for any and everything. He reappeared at the perfect moment, when watching Amada and Jack wed in presumably the same spot Emily and Jack said the same cherished words as children might have been her undoing. But his tantrums did little to instill confidence in his reliability. We finally learned how Aiden's family became embroiled in The Initiative's plot in the first place (his father loaded the bomb on the plane). It'll take a while for us to warm up to him again.
The Bad:
- Reprimand: How is it possible that Daniel, Victoria, and Conrad could go the whole episode without interacting with or showing any concern for Charlotte? Sure, their plates were full with Initiative drama, but no one even mentioned her name. That kind of egregious oversight just can't be ignored.
The Quotable:
- "Who knew officiant was French for wedding bitch?"—Nolan
"Union" left us feeling slightly conflicted. There were more than a few key moments. We had Jack and Amanda's wedding, Helen's murder, Amanda's blackmail, and Nate's looming hidden presence on the newlywed's boat. But the episode left a lot of balls in the air, presumably setting us up for an explosive episode next week. That's dangerous because if "Sacrifice" doesn't deliver, we'll have been strung along for no reason.
Rating: 8/10
Revenge airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on ABC.

What is in this article?:
- Miscanthus hybrid may open doors for biofuels industry
- Found a surprise
• Scientists at the University of Illinois recently reported the first natural occurrence in several decades of Miscanthus hybrid plants in Japan.
• In Japan, even when two plant species are adjacent to one another, they may have very different flowering times, meaning the likelihood of finding a hybrid is very low.
• In analyzing several seeds, their research revealed three triploid plants, which, based on some preliminary molecular analysis, were confirmed to be hybrids.
Found a surprise
Last year, Nishiwaki was surprised to find a M. sacchariflorus plant, which was adjacent to some M. sinensisplants,with heavy seed set. M. sacchariflorusin Japan normally spreads vegetatively rather than through seed. Nishiwaki collected this seed, grew it out, and then used flow cytometry to determine the genome size of each of plants. Genome size can be used to detect hybridization events. In analyzing several seeds, their research revealed three triploid plants, which, based on some preliminary molecular analysis, were confirmed to be hybrids.
Researchers hope these new triploid plants will express phenotypic traits similar to that of the high-yielding M. x giganteus. But if they don't, Stewart said they can still serve as sources of genetic variation that might express resistance to recently identified diseases and pests in the M. x giganteus.
M.x giganteus, the first known natural Miscanthus hybrid, was originally found in Japan and then made its way to Europe where it was initially used as an ornamental grass for estates or large gardens, Stewart said. It's a highly productive grass that's cold-hardy, notably for plants that use C4 photosynthesis, which are mostly found in the subtropics and tropics.
Itis a popular candidate for bioenergy production because it can grow up to 15 feet tall, creating more biomass than other varieties of Miscanthus.
Stewart and his team have received funding to continue searching for hybrids and to build up a diverse collection of plants of several native Miscanthus species throughout Japan. This collection will serve as a resource for the Energy Biosciences Institute located in the Institute for Genomic Biology at the U of I. Future research will also address the phylogenetic relationship of these hybrids with other Miscanthustaxa, and also their agronomic potential relative to the commonly cultivated M. xgiganteus.
Stewart's research was published in the American Journal of Botany.
Researchers included Aya Nishiwaki, Shotaro Kuwabara, Hiroya Matuura, Ryo Akashi, Sachi Yamaguchi and Genki Ishigaki of the University of Miyazaki; Aki Mizuguti of the National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences; Yo Toma, Tomomi Miyashita and Toshihiko Yamada of Hokkaido University; and Lane Rayburn and Ryan Stewart of the U of I.

Would an Orange County casino mean none for Sullivan County?
Bottom line is that Sullivan County is poised and ready to move forward. Orange County is not.
Orange County casino applications should not be granted simply because it will negate all of the above. It is not consistent with the constitutional intent of the gaming amendment or Gov. Cuomo's wishes.
More significantly, a casino in Orange County will most definitely thwart efforts to build casinos in the Catskills and further curtail investment in Sullivan County.
The case for two casinos in Sullivan County is very strong.
Sullivan County, not Orange County, is the only real choice in the selection process for two upstate casino destination resorts in the Catskill region.

Last-gasp effort falls short
PORT ROYAL – The Juniata Mennonite boys basketball team showed what the meaning of playing with heart meant Friday night against a very feisty Walnut Street Christian team.
Down by 14 early in the first half, the Lions kept hanging around and never let themselves too far out of the ballgame, tying the contest with just seconds left on the clock.
But the Warriors' leading scorer, Taylor Potter, spoiled the Lions' hopes, hitting one -of-two from the charity stripe to give them the lead with 17 ticks left on the clock.
Adrian Martin went up for an off-balanced three-point attempt to tie and was fouled in the process. In his first two attempts at the line, Martin was automatic, cutting the Warriors' lead to a point, 47-46. But the last one rolled off the rim, and that's where the scoring ended.
Martin's performance was what helped lead the Juniata Mennonite comeback; he finished with a team high 20-point effort. Teammate Caleb Metz also finished in double figures, posting a 10-point effort.
One of the strong defensive performances came from Martin and center Noah Grundon. Grundon's inside presence pushed the Warriors outside in the second half. Grundon was also strong going toward the hoop, hitting six points in the third and fourth quarter.
Walnut Street Christian had all the answers in the first half, outscoring the Lions 30-19 while Juniata Mennonite outscored the Warriors 27-17 in the third and fourth.
"That's the thing about this team this year. They never quit," Juniata Mennonite coach Dennis Zimmerman said. "They never say die. What I love about them, no matter how far their down you never see anybody dropping their heads and wanting to quit out there. That's all exciting. We made a little run there in the fourth quarter and at that point in time they were getting excited. I told my guys we have to stay calm and they did. They did a great job except in the end we just didn't have enough to do it."
Juniata Mennonite started to make its comeback late in the first half, netting the last four points before the intermission. With the momentum shift, the Lions continued to push the ball down the heart of the Warriors defense.
The fast break had opened up for the Lions, who were able to open the second half on an 8-3 run, cutting the lead to 33-27.

You Are Here: Home » News From NINDS » News Articles »
For release: Thursday, September 20, 2012
Four leaders of the neuroscience community will join the National Neurological Disorders and Stroke Advisory Council, the principal advisory body to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). NINDS is part of the National Institutes of Health.
"I am looking forward to welcoming our new council members. Their unique experiences and diverse backgrounds will provide valuable insight into programming and planning," said NINDS Director Story Landis, Ph.D.
The NINDS' 18-member council, comprised of physicians, scientists and public representatives, meets three times each year to review applications from investigators seeking financial support for biomedical research and research training. The following new members are joining the council:
E. Antonio Chiocca, M.D., Ph.D., recently joined Brigham and Women's and Faulkner Hospitals in Boston as the chair of neurosurgery, a co-director for the Institute for Neurosciences and a surgical director in the neuro-oncology program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Before joining Brigham and Women's, Dr. Chiocca held many neurosurgical and neuroscience leadership positions at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, where he helped establish the center as a world-renowned neuroscience facility. Dr. Chiocca is a pioneer in biologic treatments of central nervous system disorders including the use of oncolytic viruses and gene and stem cell therapies to treat tumors. He has received many awards, including an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) fellowship. Dr. Chiocca is the chairman of the Scientific Program Committee for the American Academy of Neurological Surgery; has served on the board of directors for the Society for Neuro-Oncology; and is the co-chairman of the editorial board of the Journal of Neurosurgery.
David B. Goldstein, Ph.D., is the director of the Center for Human Genome Variation and a professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics of Microbiology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. Dr. Goldstein is a human geneticist whose early work focused on population and evolutionary genetics. Over the last decade, Dr. Goldstein began using the latest gene analysis techniques to study diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and epilepsy. More recently he has applied whole genome sequencing to childhood genetic diseases, such as alternating hemiplegia of childhood, and to diagnosing unknown genetic conditions. Dr. Goldstein is also using these approaches to study more complex neurological and psychiatric diseases. In addition to publishing many peer-reviewed journal articles, Dr. Goldstein is the author of multiple book chapters on evolutionary genetics and pharmacogenetics.
Byron D. Ford, Ph.D is a professor in the Department of Neurobiology and the director of the Neuroprotection, Neurorepair and Stroke Program at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta. Dr. Ford is an expert in the cellular and molecular events associated with stroke and acute brain injuries. In 2005 he published a groundbreaking research article showing that neureglin-1 can protect neurons and reduce inflammation in an animal model of stroke. Since then, Dr. Ford's work on developing better methods for treating and diagnosing stroke has been published in several peer-reviewed journals. He has produced a number of patents. As a principal investigator in the NINDS CounterACT Program, Dr. Ford is also developing neuregulin-1 as a countermeasure to prevent brain injury following chemical threat agents.
