DALLAS â" Dallas police Chief David Brown told News 8 Saturday it's time for the department to make changes.
He said he took a hard look at what's been going on when it comes to allegations of excessive force and police shootings, and he felt he had to do something.
Since taking over the department, Brown has had to criminally charge officers for beating a motorist, and heâs dealt with dozens of officer-involved shootings.
"I just think we need to take a hard look at ourselves and be introspective and deal with it," he said.
Across the nation, police departments have been forced by the Justice Department to make changes. Chief Brown said he wants to avoid that happening in Dallas.
"I think it's better for us to change on our own than to be told to change by outside agencies," he said.
On Friday, Brown announced eight policy changes which include:
- asking the FBI to review all officer-involved shootings
- creating a foot pursuit policy to keep situations from getting out of hand and escalating to deadly force
- requiring all officers be trained in the use of Tasers
- requiring written or recorded consent before searching someone's property
At a community meeting Saturday morning, South Dallas residents welcomed the changes, but also said the community needs to step in and help police do their job.
"All these other things are good, but charity starts at home... then it spreads," said Melba Marshall, who lives in the Dixon Circle neighborhood where a fleeing suspect was shot and killed by a police officer on July 24.
All agreed that it will take police and residents working hand-in-hand to make changes that will endure.

ENDICOTT, N.Y. (AP) — John Huston shot a 7-under 65 to win his first Champions Tour event Sunday, taking advantage of three straight bogeys by Mark Wiebe to capture the Dick's Sporting Goods Open.
Huston finished at 16-under 200 in his third Champions Tour start since turning 50 on June 1, earning a three-shot victory over Nick Price, who had a 66. Wiebe was another shot back after a 71.
Wiebe won two weeks ago at Rock Barn and began the day with a two-shot lead over Huston, but his string of bogey-free holes stopped at 75 when he bogeyed Nos. 12, 13 and 14 to drop out of the lead.
Wiebe rallied with two straight birdies and almost had another at 17.
Huston also birdied No. 16 and sealed the victory after hitting his tee shot at the par-3 17th to within a foot of the pin.

NASA Torn Between Asteroid Landing, Human Lunar Exploration

Charles Bolden
(Source: nasa.gov)
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden doesn't see the point of another trip to the moon
There seems to be some differences in opinion around NASA concerning whether the goal of human space exploration should be to
land on an asteroid
or take another trip to the moon.
The Space Studies Board and the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board held a meeting in Washington last week, where the topic of asteroid vs. moon took place.
Al Carnesale of UCLA said there wasn't much enthusiasm for an asteroid landing since its initial announcement. It's been almost three years since President Barack Obama officially released plans to land on an asteroid by 2025.
"Since it was announced, there was less enthusiasm for it among the community broadly," said Carnesale. "The more we learn about it, the more we hear about it, people seem less enthusiastic about it."
"There's a great deal of enthusiasm, almost everywhere,
for the Moon
. I think there might be, if no one has to swallow their pride and swallow their words, and you can change the asteroid mission a little bit… it might be possible to move towards something that might be more of a consensus."
However, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden disagrees. He said that NASA will gladly participate if another nation agrees to lead a human lunar landing, but NASA will not plan one of its own.
"They all have dreams of putting human on the Moon," said Bolden. "I have told every head of agency of every partner agency that if you assume the lead in a human lunar mission, NASA will be a part of that. NASA wants to be a participant."
"NASA will not take the lead on a human lunar mission. NASA is not going to the Moon with a human as a primary project probably in my lifetime. And the reason is, we can only do so many things."
Bolden believes NASA should stick to the plan of sending humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars by 2030.
"We intend to do that, and we think it can be done," said Bolden.

I know. I watched the PS4 event Livestream. But there wasn't new game announcementS like teased before, meh.
Yea it was pretty bad. I was expecting at least a few announcements, but didn't suprise me to see nothing.
@AKyemeni it's in ND hands lets hope it's a good jump. I don't want Uncharted to be looked as a medicore series 10 years from now.
I wish Straley and Druckmann where the directors (UC2/TLOU). Uncharted PS4 will have UC3's Richmond as main director again :/
And call me crazy but I hoped for the Demon's Souls 2 rumors to be true and shown at this event. I know From is busy with Dark Souls II but Sony Japan Studio helped doing DeS 1 afterall. The studio logo/name did got shown in 1 video atleast...
Japan Studios are great at what they do. Almost every game from them are some of my favorites. Though Demon's Souls II isn't gonna happen unless they planned it from early on. Poor Atlus in the situation they are in
Geoff (Doritos/Mountain Dew Pope) confirmed The Last Guardian is still out there! Which isn't a suprise after reading this link from Fumito Ueda. <---Link.
I wouldn't want Atlus to be the puplisher anyway, sorry...they are US only based and I'm in Europe (DeS1 got puplished by Namco here) It would just mean more region locked servers. Oh yeah, will never forget that sellout pic from Geoff.

Re: Uncharted PS4 will be about Sir Francis Drake and[ Edited ]
I'll admit speculation is pointless from a practical standpoint but it is FUN!...
Just for the record, Todd Stashwick has also been in law enforcement roles as well. As far as him being American, any decent voice actor can do an accent (although some better than others).
I confess that I don't know a lot about Sir Francis Drake (actually, many details of his life are unknown) but after looking at a few links about him, he wasn't a very nice guy (despite Nathan's adulation of him and his apparent popularity back in Merry Olde England during his own time).
I'm intrigued about the narrator of the teaser…especially since it seems that he might be more sympathetic than past villains (IF he proves to be the antagonist). I've often thought that the problem with Uncharted villains is that they're unambiguously "bad" and they always get killed. There's nothing more infuriating than a villain for whom you have some sympathy AND that gets away.
Given the reference in the trailer to chains, I'm inclined to think the narration is historical in nature but who's to say that the narrator in the teaser is actually the historical figure? Maybe it's a descendant of someone "wronged" by Sir Francis Drake and reading from his ancestor's diary or journal. I can think of a few possibilities around this:
- Modern day setting with the descendant of Drake's "victim" out to seek revenge on Nathan. This is all the more tragic because Nathan's passed himself off as a "true" descendant of Drake for years so the hatred would be misplaced.
- Parallel settings (hopefully with a focus on modern day for the "shooter" aspect of the game). A historical "flashback" to give context to the hatred felt by the victim's descendant.
Let the speculation continue!

The Eagles' wake-up call for Tuesday's practice was early -- before 6 a.m. early.
But at least one Boston College (2-0, 1-0 ACC) player was up before then, ready to get out onto the practice field to prepare for USC (1-1, 0-1 Pac-12).
Ian White could tell Chase Rettig is fired up for this week, a homecoming for the Sierra Madre, Calif., native, when he looked at his phone and saw a message from the quarterback.
"Wake-up was at like 5:45 or something like that and at 5:20 I get a text from Chase, 'Let's go boys, this is our week. This is when we've really gotta show ourselves,'" White said after practice on Wednesday. "He's really excited for this game. He's always that type of leader, he'll shoot texts and stuff like that. But this was 40 minutes before wake-up at 5 in the morning.
"He was ready to go."
While he didn't display much emotion in his post-practice huddle with reporters Wednesday, Rettig said he's looking forward to playing in Los Angeles.
"It'll be fun," he said. "I grew up going to USC games and UCLA games. So it'll be fun to go back home and see some family and my family will be able to see me play live."
BC coach Steve Addazio said there's no doubt Rettig has "a burn inside" this week.
"Who wouldn't?" the coach said on his weekly ACC conference call. "You're going home to play. I think any competitor has that feeling. So I know he does, and, yes, I can see it in his eyes. He's still going to keep his personality, [so] he's not over the top. But I can't imagine there is a more excited guy getting on that plane tomorrow."
Though some players going home to play might find themselves facing a favorite team from childhood, that's not the case with Rettig.
"I was just an Oregon State fan growing up," the 6-foot-3, 206-pound signal-caller said. "My mom was a Beaver, so that's who I rooted for."
Rettig said USC coach Lane Kiffin recruited him while he was at Tennessee, but soon after the offer came from the Volunteers the QB committed to BC. He hasn't spent much time on it since, and wasn't interested in reminiscing about the recruiting process on Wednesday.
There's too much work to do.
USC fell out of the AP Top 25 after a shocking 10-7 home loss to Washington State, but the Trojans gave up only 222 yards of total offense and didn't allow an offensive touchdown (the Cougars kicked a field goal and scored on a 70-yard interception return for a TD).
Meanwhile, new coordinator Clancy Pendergast's D leads the nation in rushing defense by allowing just 15 yards per game. The Trojans gave up only 7 yards on 22 attempts to the Cougars.
Coming off a week when lead back Andre Williams piled up 35 carries for 204 yards, BC will no doubt attempt to test that strength. But Ryan Day won't be stubborn, and if he needs to call more on Rettig he's shown he will do so.
In the opener against Villanova, Rettig threw 30 times, completing 23 passes for 285 yards and two TDs. He threw just 14 passes in Week 2, with the run game hammering away at the Wake Forest defense.
While USC has been dominant against the run game, it has been just OK against the passing game. The Trojans rank 60th in the country in passing defense, giving up 211.5 yards a game through the first two weeks.
Addazio expects Rettig to play well versus USC.
"Obviously he has to play a great game on Saturday," he said. "He knows it. Your quarterback is the guy. He's got to play a great game. He's got to get the ball out of his hands and be efficient, and on top of what he's doing and be a leader. I think he'll be all of those things."
One thing USC does very well is pressure the quarterback. The Trojans lead the country with 11 sacks in their first two games, with three players with two or more sacks already (George Uko with three, and Morgan Breslin and Leonard Williams with two).
If Rettig is able to find Alex Amidon, Spiffy Evans or Dan Crimmins for big gains through the air Saturday, some USC fans -- already grumbling because of the unsettled QB situation, though Kiffin did name Cody Kessler the starter this week, and unusually meek offensive output (18.5 PPG, down from 32.1 PPG in 2012) to date -- might wonder aloud why the Trojans can't get guys like the San Clemente High grad.
Of course, if the hometown teams had put on a full-court press in recruiting back when Rettig was a four-star prospect ranked the No. 10 pocket passer in the Class of 2010, they might have been able to keep him home. But they didn't, and he didn't. The rest, as they say, is history.
Rettig comes home as a four-year starter at BC, and perhaps with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
"It's exciting to go back," Rettig said. "I was kind of an under-recruited kid back home. It's not like I wanted to go to school in California, per se, but obviously when you don't get seen [during recruiting] and then you come back you just want good things to happen."
The senior would like nothing better than to help his team win this game, on the road, against a top-tier college football program. And he swears that's what he's focused on, even though he's going to play just 20-odd minutes from home.
"You can't really look at it like, 'Oh, you're going back home. Oh, your whole family's gonna be there,'" he said. "It's all about the team and trying to put our team in the best position to be successful on the field.
"It'll be fun to just be back, but the most important thing is just singing our fight song at the end of the game."
For Rettig, clearly there's no wake-up call required for this matchup.

The Dancing Girls of Lahore: Selling Love and Saving Dreams in Pakistan's Ancient Pleasure District
€ 22,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juli 2005
BeschreibungThe dancing girls of Lahore inhabit the Diamond Market in the shadow of a great mosque. The twenty-first century goes on outside the walls of this ancient quarter but scarcely registers within. Though their trade can be described with accuracy as prostitution, the dancing girls have an illustrious history: Beloved by emperors and nawabs, their sophisticated art encompassed the best of Mughal culture. The modern-day Bollywood aesthetic, with its love of gaudy spectacle, music, and dance, is their distant legacy. But the life of the pampered courtesan is not the one now being lived by Maha and her three girls. What they do is forbidden by Islam, though tolerated; but they are gandi, "unclean," and Maha's daughters, like her, are born into the business and will not leave it. Sociologist Louise Brown spent four years in the most intimate study of the family life of a Lahori dancing girl. With beautiful understatement, she turns a novelist's eye on a true story that beggars the imagination. Maha, a classically trained dancer of exquisite grace, had her virginity sold to a powerful Arab sheikh at the age of twelve; when her own daughter Nena comes of age and Maha cannot bring in the money she once did, she faces a terrible decision as the agents of the sheikh come calling once more.

Australia tycoon blasts Chinese gov't 'mongrels'
By Martin Parry, AFP Wednesday, August 20, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
SYDNEY--Outspoken Australian tycoon Clive Palmer has labeled the Chinese government "mongrels" who "shoot their own people" in a televised tirade that was criticized by Canberra Tuesday as "hugely damaging."
The billionaire politician, who was elected to parliament last year as head of the Palmer United Party and is known for his efforts to rebuild a replica of the Titanic, also called the Chinese "bastards" who "want to take over this country."
The flamboyant mining baron is locked in a long-running dispute over royalties and port operations with Hong Kong-based Citic Pacific relating to its Sino Iron magnetite project, a partnership with China's state-owned Metallurgical Group Corporation.
State-owned Citic is mining for magnetite iron ore on Palmer's sprawling Australian Mardie Station cattle farm under a 25-year lease.
But the two sides have clashed over what share of the proceeds are owed to the Australian businessman and whether his company, Mineralogy, is the legal operator of the project's export terminal at Port Preston.
Citic has also accused Mineralogy of siphoning off millions of dollars from a business bank account to fund Palmer's election campaign.
The mogul denies the allegations and told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's live Q&A current affairs panel discussion late Monday that he was "owed about AU$500 million (US$465 million) by the Communist Chinese government."
"We'll be suing them and they'll be answering the questions," he said.
"We've had three judgements in the Federal Court and the Supreme Court of Western Australia and an arbitration against these Chinese mongrels — I'm saying that because they're Communist, they shoot their own people, they haven't got a justice system and they want to take over this country.
"And we're not going to let them," he added.
"The Chinese government wants to bring workers here to destroy our wage system ... they want to take over our ports and get our resources for free.
"So far they've shifted AU$200 million worth of iron ore out of this country without paying for it. I don't mind standing up against the Chinese bastards."
Earlier this year, Citic Pacific president Zhang Jijing warned that legal issues with Palmer could have broader implications for Chinese business in Australia.
'Offensive, unnecessary, and unacceptable'
Meanwhile, Palmer's comments provoked outrage on Chinese social media.

Are you prepared to help others in the most effective and efficient way possible? When disasters strike, many people's first impulse is to collect food or clothing; it is not unusual for community and local groups to collect thousands of pounds of material – typically used clothing, canned food and bottled water – realizing only afterward that they do not know whether it's actually needed, how they will transport it or who will distribute it.0 Comments
If I understand correctly, three times a year donors travel to the reservation for a traditional Navajo ceremony. During this ceremony the donations are given, and the money from the sale of the rugs presented to the weavers. Although my acquaintance described the ceremony as very moving, I question it on several levels.2 Comments
To ensure that your money is doing the good you intended you have to look past aid agency advertising, name recognition, and "happy stories", and instead look for evidence that the aid agency is following best practices and constantly improving their organization.6 Comments
You see a commercial on TV or receive an advertisement in the mail with the picture of someone in need. You reach for your checkbook to donate. But before you stamp the envelope or click the "donate now" button, imagine that instead of it being someone else far away, it is an image of you, your child, or you family. Now ask yourself these four simple questions...0 Comments

Although volunteering overseas can be a life-changing experience, it's also one of the hardest things you'll ever do.

Managing your expectation before you volunteer will help you have a more successful volunteer experience.3 Comments
Reflecting on the debate over disaster/poverty tourism a couple of weeks back some bloggers, such as Tales from the Hood and Pepy Tours, have argued that there is a benefit, if done right, of donors visiting aid recipients. And, if done right, I agree. One of the common complaints after the tsunami was that donors did not come and check whether aid work was done well or learn about the real needs of aid recipients. Donors do need to have a greater understanding of what does and does not work in aid as well as common problems associated with aid. Properly structured visits can help them become better donors.3 Comments
The debate over voluntarism seems to be coalescing around one point – motivation matters. Before volunteering it's important to have an honest conversation with yourself and examine your motivations and whether putting yourself in the lives of aid recipients is the best way to meet your needs.2 Comments
Would you want your child operated on by a doctor whose work was never evaluated, even when it appeared that the way the surgery was commonly done may contribute to avoidable illness or death?1 Comments
A man went down to a Kmart which was closing it's doors and purchased every single item in the store and donated the $200,000 worth of goods to a single charity.

A compelling founder story, such as Greg Mortenson's, doesn't mean that the nonprofit is successful or even moderately helpful. A boring founder story doesn't mean that the nonprofit is floundering or failing. There is no correlation between the compellingness of a founder story and the competency of their nonprofit. And yet we keep focusing on them.6 Comments
TMS "Teddy" Ruge, Co-Founder of Project Diaspora and Joel Charny, Vice President for Humanitarian Policy at InterAction sit down on the orange couch yesterday to discuss the way aid is marketed and disbursed in Africa. "The dehumanizing comes into the fact we have to be continually looked at as recipients, as the poor, as if the only thing we have to offer are these beans so you can buy them in your coffee," explained Teddy. That is why A Day Without Dignity came into existence last year and was held yesterday. The hope is to find ways to shift the story of Africa from a single continent of misery to a place full of many countries, people, desires, cultures and experiences.0 Comments

We are happy to announce that A Day Without Dignity, 2012 will be held on Monday, April 16th. This year's event will focus on Local Champions.

Today is the one year anniversary of A Day Without Dignity - a counter campaign to TOMS Shoes One Day Without Shoes. The campaign was a bigger success than we could have hoped for with over 70 posts and three videos created for the event. The Day Without Dignity video has been viewed over 28,000 times (I know it's nothing compared with KONY 2012, but still pretty good I think) and is used by professors and college clubs to discuss the issue of donated goods. The video and compilation post are regularly linked to by bloggers and student newspapers trying to help their readers understand how good intentions do not necessarily equal good aid.2 Comments
I am still in Utah caring for my mother as well as preparing for my upcoming wedding. The following were the articles I found interesting in what little time I've spent on the web. Many of these articles are KONY related.0 Comments
I have to admit, I haven't been following the KONY debate raging online. I didn't even know the debate was happening until I got 5,000 + hits to my blog in one day from people that had linked to my blog from their own KONY posts.2 Comments
Once again, I've waited far too long to put this together. Here are many of the articles and posts I've found interesting over the last month or so.2 Comments
Instead of taking this as an opportunity to grow and improve as a professional organization, World Vision is instead clinging on to their 60 year addiction to SWEDOW.12 Comments
Last year's donation ignited a huge debate that got World Vision into a public image nightmare. 'm interested in whether or not the NFL will again donate the 100,000 items with logo of the team that lost the SuperBowl to World Vision.7 Comments

If you are one of the recent high school or college graduates struggling to find work, or someone recently "down sized" which would you want more: donated clothes or a job? Chances are you would chose a job over receiving donated clothing. In fact, if you're desperate enough you might settle for any job, even short-term or dangerous jobs just to make whatever money you can. But most people would probably rather have a job that pays a living wage, offers a few benefits, and has some job security so they don't worry about losing everything tomorrow.14 Comments
Recent links I think will interest my readers. I can tell it's been far too long since my last links post as there are many interesting articles/posts to share.3 Comments
As the year draws to an end, I thought it might be interesting to note which posts were the most popular in 2011. The results surprised me, perhaps they'll surprise you as well. Compilation posts (where I collect links to other posts and articles on a similar topic) were the overall winners.8 Comments
In the new year my focus will be on fewer blog posts and more resources available on the website. My hope is that by doing this I can continue being a source of information for smart giving well into the future.16 Comments
I've created a quick and easy guide that helps you know what to look for when choosing a holiday charitable activity and how to avoid common holiday mistakes. The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are when clubs, churches, businesses and families seek out charitable activities they can do together. If you are like the average American, you are probably planning on some sort of charitable giving this holiday season. Unfortunately, our needs for a holiday charitable activity are often in conflict with the needs of the people we are trying to help. This leads to projects that may meet the needs of the donors more than they meet the needs of the poor. This holiday season make sure the help you give is the help they need.13 Comments
I've said repeatedly that our waste is not the solution to other people's problems. Our waste is our problem. It is also important to remember that dignity and choice do matter. We should not ask people that have lost everything to sacrifice their dignity as well.4 Comments
This week's interesting links include research articles, presentation notes, and a how-to resource.0 Comments
Ensuring the safety of transgender people is not as simple as allowing them to document their identity. And carrying around documents that mark people as such -- or even counting LGBT people -- can bring up myriad safety concerns. What is more, the definitions of gender can differ from document to document, and region to region. Currah reminds us that "for transgender people, the immense number of state actors defining sex [and gender] ensnares them in a Kafkaesque web of official identity contradiction and chaos."4 Comments

Is a college diploma really worth the paper it's printed on? In this episode of Freakonomics Radio, Stephen Dubner breaks down the costs and benefits of going to college, especially during an economy that's leaving a lot of people un- and underemployed. The data say that college graduates make a lot more money in the long run and enjoy a host of other benefits as well. But does that justify the time and money? We'll hear from economists David Card, Betsey Stevenson, and Justin Wolfers, as well as former Bush advisor Karl Rove, who made it to the White House without a college degree. Amherst College president Biddy Martin describes what an education provides beyond facts and figures, while Steve Levitt wonders if the students he teaches at the University of Chicago are actually learning anything. Finally, a former FBI agent tells us about the very robust market for fake diplomas.

Are they worth it or help much .
Are they worth it or help much .
I don't use them.......but try them on a hive or two, you may like them. They're only nickels (or dimes).....
http://OxaVap.com Your source for the ProVap 110
OA Vaporizer. The fastest vaporizer on the market!
I tried them. The bees propolis that area and then it is problematic (for me) to clean/scrape that area without damaging them. I also found moisture accumulated between it, and the wood. I removed them all.
In my hives it gives small hive beetles a great place to hide from the bees... not good... If you do want to try them try on one side not both then frames are easier to pull...
In my opinion this is a much better option... http://www.brushymountainbeefarm.com...oductinfo/660/ or http://www.brushymountainbeefarm.com...oductinfo/659/
Many folks have beetle problems with them. They looked neat for me at first and I used them on all my boxes. Then, when I began scraping used boxes they got in the way so I ripped them out. The best use I've found for them is when I cut the ends wrong and the lips of the boxes barely caught the frames. Putting on the metal frame supports added a smidgeon of extra surface....problem solved!
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
I use them on my hives. Cleaning the ledges and sliding frames is a lot easier. We live in the wet and rain here and I have never had a problem with moisture. I have boxes that have had them since the mid 1980's. When I skipped using them I usually gouged the ledge trying to clean or prying against them to loosen the frames.
I wonder if there is a difference in the material they are made of. Mid 80s vs 2005 ? I used my hive tool to scrape. Caught the nails. (my fault) but I also snagged the metal and cut into it. Once the metal was deformed, it could not be put back tight. Most of my bees are heavy on the propolis.
I would be worried about giving SHB a place to hide.
If you pound the nails in from the side with the box standing on end instead of down into the rabbit or shelf you wont have the problem of hooking them when scaping with a hive tool

Great call by you voters. P. Nick Curran (who wrote that big feature on them) also got them into his living room for an intimate performance, which we will have more video of later. For now, enjoy "Liar Thief" above and catch Mean Creek at one of two gigs in the next three days: Saturday at Great Scott (where they'll release their new 7-inch) or tonight at Revolution Rock Bar (with Mystery Roar and Bearstronaut) as part of the Phoenix's Best Music Week.

'Life on Mars' tells the story of Sam Tyler, played by John Simm, a policeman working in the present day who has a car accident and wakes up to find himself back in 1973, working for the unreconstructed 'Sweeney'-style copper DCI Gene Hunt, played by Philip Glenister.
Breaking on January 27, the campaign will feature the 1970's BBC globe branding on all of its elements. Vintage posters, TV ads, radio spots and online viral including mobile and desktop downloads have all been created by Red Bee Media, alongside a spoof 1973 training manual penned by one of the show's central characters, DCI Hunt. The viral download features characters Tyler and Hunt in the guise of kids cult show 'Camberwick Green'.
The ad campaign for the new series will also feature an auction of Hunt's classic Ford Cortina, with all proceeds going to Comic Relief.
Set to air in February, the second series has been announced as the final run for the popular programme. However, The Times recently reported that the BBC has commissioned producer Kudos Film & TV to create a spin-off named 'Ashes to Ashes'. A US version of the show is also currently under production by ABC.
Ruth Shabi, Red Bee Media creative director, said: "The campaign echoes the programme by highlighting the contrast between crime busting as it was in the 1970's and how it is now. This gave us license to have some fun, creating something that is, ironically, really edgy in today's world of political correctness."
Anna Skelton, marketing manager for BBC One and drama, said: "This has been a great opportunity to develop a 360-degree campaign across all mediums, while capitalising on the nostalgia of the BBC One colour branding from the 1970s."

School shooting sparks stricter gun law debate
New Bern - Could the latest shooting be the tipping point into stricter gun laws?
During a press conference Friday, President Barak Obama expressed immediate concerns.
"As a country, we have been through this too many times," said the President. "We're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics".
In February, North Carolina joined other states in the Right to Carry Law.
According to the NRA website, currently there are no state licensing requirements to possess a rifle, shotgun, or handgun. It is unlawful for any person under 18 to possess or carry a handgun
Bill Wishon, a firearm trainer an consultant in New Bern, believes guns aren't the problem.
"The laws are in affect. it's the people who don't obey the laws that are the problem," said Wishon."We don't look at the other side of the picture. We don't see that so many people depend on their firearms for safety."
Wishon blames a lack of focus on mental health issue for the recent violence. Adding that despite the laws, people will continue to do bad things.

Northwest League playoff preview
Vancouver opens title defense vs. Everett; Boise meets Yakima
By Special to MLB.com | September 3, 2012 8:50 AM ET
The East and West Divisions took very different paths to the 2012 Northwest League playoffs.
The East was decided weeks ago as the Boise Hawks bounced back from a dismal 13-25 first half to post the best divisional record in the second half. The Yakima Bears, who used a 21-17 first-half record to secure their seat in the playoffs, has home-field advantage in the opening round.
The West, on the other hand, went down to the wire. Though the Everett AquaSox punched their ticket to the postseason with a dominant first-half record of 28-10, they remained unsure of their opening-round opponent until the waning moments of the season. The Everett AquaSox rode a strong 28-10 first half but watched their opponent -- the defending champion Vancouver Canadians -- pull out a playoff berth in the waning moments of the season.
Yakima Bears (36-40, East Division first-half champions) vs.
Boise Hawks (37-39, East Division second-half champions)
Yakima won the season series, 7-5
Game 1 at Boise, Sept. 3 at 8:45 p.m. ET
Game 2 at Yakima, Sept. 4 at 10:05 p.m. ET
Game 3 at Yakima (if necessary), Sept. 5 at 10:05 p.m. ET
The Boise Hawks are a hard-hitting club, belting more homers and scoring more runs than any other competitor in the Northwest League. In their season series with Yakima, however, the Hawks were faced with one of the league's stingiest pitching staffs and got outscored, 61-51.
The Bears, hoping to cap their final season in Yakima with their first league title since 2000, have a trio of starting pitchers among the top eight in the league in ERA -- Daniel Watts, Blake Perry and Alexander Carreras. The Hawks, on the other hand, who last took home the title in 2004, boast league batting champ Stephen Bruno as well as sluggers Rock Shoulders and Daniel Vogelbach.
"We match up pretty well against them, for what our pitchers bring to the table," said Bears pitching coach Doug Bochtler. "We're going to do what we can to silence their bats."
Still, the pressure for the playoffs can be another matter, giving young players invaluable experience on a bigger stage while offering their organizations a chance to see who steps up when it matters most.
"You're looking to see who elevates their game and who does the things that they've done on a consistent basis," Bochtler said. "It's one of the most important tools in development."
Everett AquaSox (46-30, West Division first-half champions) vs.
Vancouver Canadians (46-30, West Division second-half champions)
Everett won the season series, 8-4
Game 1 at Vancouver, Sept. 3 at 4:05 p.m. ET
Game 2 at Everett, Sept. 4 at 10:05 p.m. ET
Game 3 at Everett (if necessary), Sept. 5 at 10:05 p.m. ET
Before 2010, the AquaSox hadn't won a Northwest League championship since 1985. Now they're seeking their second title in three years. Unlike their counterparts from the East Division, though, they didn't know their opponent until the final moments of the regular season. Turns out they'll face last year's champion, the Vancouver Canadians.
Everett has produced on both sides of the field, sporting two of the leagues top run producers -- Taylor Ard and Patrick Kivlehan -- and a pair of pitchers near the top of the pack in strikeouts -- Victor Sanchez and Dylan Unsworth.
Vancouver manager Clayton McCullough said he hopes the Canadians can build on a late-season run that propelled them into the postseason.
"We've been playing backs against the wall for six weeks now," he said. "Eugene kept playing well. We knew it wasn't going to be easy, and the whole time they kept winning games. We just had to keep winning, and you hope that carries over into the playoffs."
Everett took the season series, but McCullough is well aware that just about anything can happen in the postseason.
"They put it to us this year," he said. "We've played them well. The games will be tight."
Starring roles: Everett first baseman Ard and catcher Mike Zunino were named Northwest League Postseason All-Stars, while third baseman Patrick Kivlehan was voted league MVP. Kivlehan was fourth in the league with a .301 average and third with 49 RBIs.
Away game? No problem! The Yakima Bears are having a playoff viewing party at Sports Center, located in downtown Yakima, for Monday night's opener. The event will be hosted by public address announcer, Todd Lyons, and fans will also have the ability to purchase tickets to Tuesday's home game.
He said it: "If we haven't prepared them by now, then we haven't done our jobs. It's constant preparation for situations like this. We're preparing them every day to play that way, and play under the same intensity and approach and metal awareness." -- Bears pitching coach Doug Bochtler on player preparation in playoff scenarios

For two decades, doctors have followed an ethically-established agreement about the appropriate use of artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH) for patients who are seriously ill or in a persistent vegetative state. Generally, patients or their surrogates have been able to accept or refuse ANH based upon considerations that guide most treatment decisions, i.e., potential benefits, risks, burden, religious and cultural beliefs. The Terri Schiavo case – which included very open, dramatic disagreements among family members over such considerations – publicly challenged long-held agreements about ANH and caused many to question its proper use.
In response to such challenges, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania's Institute on Aging and Center for Bioethics, and the Philadelphia VA's Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion review and clarify ethical principles regarding the use of ANH. According to the authors, the five ethical principles that should guide decisions about ANH are:
* Decisions about the use of ANH should be made in the same way that decisions about other medical treatment are made.
* The same ethical reasoning applies whether withholding or withdrawing ANH.
* Decisions on the patient's behalf require the same evidence of the patient's preferences as is required for other significant treatment decisions.
* Decisions about ANH may be made without any evidence of the patient's preferences.
* All Patients should receive high quality palliative care regardless of whether they receive ANH.
These recommendations are the result of a national conference held at the University of Pennsylvania in early 2005, and appear in the December 15th, 2005 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Re-examining the guiding principles of decisions to use ANH right now is essential." asserts David Casarett, MA, MD, Assistant Professor of Geriatrics, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and an investigator with the VA Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion. "It is not possible to prevent all disagreements about difficult decisions at the end of life. I guarantee that there will be another Schiavo case, or something very similar. But it is possible, and indeed it is essential, to clearly articulate the principles that should underlie decisions about ANH and to ensure that these principles guide decisions in clinical practice. Our paper was inspired by the Schiavo case," says Casarett. "That case was the ethical equivalent of an airplane crash—a highly visible tragedy that spurs investigation, analysis, and hopefully improvements and safeguards to prevent a recurrence."
Casarett and colleagues Jennifer Kapo, MD, Assistant Professor of Geriatric Medicine, and Arthur Caplan, PhD, Director of Penn's Center for Bioethics, argue that because ANH is associated with uncertain benefits and significant risks, it is essential to ensure that decisions are consistent with the patient's medical condition, prognosis, and goals for care. According to Casarett, "Artificial nutrition is generally not the life-saving treatment that people believe it to be. Unlike food and water, ANH is a medical therapy with substantial risks and burdens, which must be administered using technical medical procedures. In addition, it has no role in palliative care, since it does not promote patient comfort or ease suffering."
The article recommends five fundamental principles for clinicians to follow and a thorough discussion of the ethical and legal justification of the decision to use ANH. The authors also review the potential obstacles to ethical decision-making in the use of ANH, including cultural beliefs, patient education, and institutional financial and regulatory pressure that might affect the care that patients receive.
"The real tragedy of the Terri Schiavo's death" Casarett says, "was not that her family disagreed about her treatment, but rather that our politicians inserted themselves into that disagreement, like unwelcome neighbors at a private family gathering. A patient's and family's right to make independent decisions about ANH and other medical treatment should be defended against legal, financial, and administrative challenges at the bedside," says Casarett. "Compassionate, ethically sound, and clinically reasonable efforts to facilitate decisions about ANH need to be part of a larger agenda to improve care for all patients with serious illness."

Scale Up Milwaukee is an action project focused on developing the entrepreneurial capacity in Milwaukee by bringing together the policies, structures, programs and climate that foster entrepreneurship.
Scale Up Milwaukee is based on a model developed by Daniel Isenberg, founding executive director of the Babson Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Projects. Isenberg has worked with entrepreneurship ecosystems abroad, in places such as Colombia, Brazil and Denmark, fostering policies, structures and cultures that stimulate long-term economic growth, development and prosperity through programs and workshops.
Milwaukee is the first community in the U.S. to develop an entrepreneurship program based on this model. The initiative is also backed by Governor Scott Walker and Mayor Tom Barrett as part of a bipartisan effort to grow the economy by stimulating high-growth ventures and encouraging job creation.
The long-term strategy for Scale Up Milwaukee is to create an integrated effort to simultaneously impact six domains of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Milwaukee: Culture, Policy and Leadership, Finance, Human Capital, Markets, and Supports.
The first phase of the project will run six months, launching in April 2013. The goal of phase one will be to create a broad awareness among public and private leaders and stakeholders of what to do, a commitment to do it, and a plan of action.
The project will be managed by the Greater Milwaukee Committee (GMC), working closely with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Administration (WHEDA) and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). This coalition, along with many other stakeholders, will produce an actionable blueprint for Milwaukee that will help lead to a measurable increase in growth driven start-ups and successful scale-ups.
As evidenced by American Express OPEN's leadership in convening a broad group of stakeholders in support of Small Business Saturday, OPEN will help mobilize organizations to cultivate high-growth entrepreneurship as part of OPEN for Enterprise: Coalitions for High-Growth Entrepreneurship. American Express OPEN's focus is to develop an actionable blueprint in partnership with entrepreneurship expert Daniel Isenberg that can be implemented in a wide variety of U.S. cities, starting in Milwaukee, to scale new and existing ventures.
In Milwaukee, American Express OPEN will serve as a catalyst to foster a self-sustaining entrepreneurship ecosystem. Supporting the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and the diverse group of private and public organizations it is bringing together, American Express OPEN will help generate awareness of this initiative and its outcomes locally and nationally. American Express OPEN will not be involved in matters of public, legislative or regulatory policy.

Title basically covers what I have to say, only caveat is that small is relative- I'm about 6'1" and 175 lbs, and this thing fits me like a glove. If you're a taller fella, and not built like a gorilla, maybe order on the smaller side. I think otherwise you'll find yourself wearing too much shirt.

Two in three New Zealanders play video games
Posted on 30-Oct-2013 09:45
Filed under:
Playing video games remains well-established on the list of favourite New Zealand past-times, according to the Digital New Zealand 2014 report launched today. Nine in ten households have at least one device for playing interactive games, and 86 per cent of parents who consume video games play with their children.
The report also finds that more people are switching on their consoles, smartphones, tablets, laptops and PCs to play interactive games, which is causing a shift in the make-up of New Zealand's interactive gaming population. New Zealanders in their 40s and 50s make up the largest group of new gamers in the last two years, and those aged 51 and over now make up close to a fifth of the gaming population.
Digital New Zealand 2014 is the third study in a series conducted by Bond University and takes an in-depth look at the interactive games sector in New Zealand. The report provides data on computer and video games uses and attitudes, as well as broader community concerns and issues around interactive entertainment.
Dr. Jeff Brand, Professor at Bond University and author of the report said, "When we conducted the first report in 2010, video games were still seen as a medium aimed at younger children who only played on a console or PC. Today, the profile of the typical gamer is nearly synonymous with the profile of the typical New Zealander."
"We now have three generations of New Zealanders enjoying video games – and we're engaging with interactive games wherever we go. We might play a quick mobile game on the bus on the way to work, an educational game with the children after school and a family game on the console as a way to spend time with our grandparents on the weekend," said Dr. Brand.
The key findings of the Digital New Zealand 2014 report include:
· More than just entertainment – The top reasons older New Zealanders (aged 51 and over) play games is to keep their mind active, challenge themselves and learn. Coincidentally, these reasons were identified as some of the least popular for younger gamers (aged 16 to 25) who instead choose to play games for social interactions, thrills and to relieve boredom.
· Not just child's play, the majority of people who play interactive games are adults – 71 per cent of gamers are over the age of 18, and this figure has increased steadily over the years as adults continue to form the large majority of gamers in New Zealand. In addition, the average age of the typical gamer has now reached a plateau at 33 years old. This is closely aligning with the average age of a New Zealander, which according to recent Statistics New Zealand data is 37 years old[1].
· Nearly four in five parents use video games to educate children – This number is consistent with the previous Digital New Zealand report, as more parents play video games themselves and understand the benefits. This year, the report also found that 75 per cent of mums play video games and 79 per cent of dads play.
· Digital games on the rise, yet the majority of New Zealander play games on the PC and console – The report reaffirms the growing popularity of digital games with the number of New Zealanders playing games on a tablet device doubling to 22 per cent in the last two years. A further 44 per cent of New Zealanders play games on their smartphone device, up from 38 per cent in 2010. Interestingly, PCs and consoles are still used by the majority of New Zealanders with 60 per cent of households using a PC to play video games and 53 per cent using a console.
· Technology convergence drives video game consumption – New Zealand's interactive games market has reached full market saturation due to the convergence of technologies. With many devices now offering the functionality to play video games, New Zealanders are able to engage with interactive games anywhere, anytime. Nearly nine in ten gaming households own three or more screens to play games.
Ron Curry, CEO of Interactive Games & Entertainment Association (IGEA) added, "The latest report reinforces the breadth and depth of New Zealand's gaming community. The first generation of gamers are all grown up and playing video games not only for their own leisure, but as a way to connect with their children and their own parents."
"Whether we're 'snacking' on a mobile game or enjoying the immersive experience of playing on a console, it's clear that video games has truly become as mainstream as playing sports or watching TV," said Curry.

Simon Curtis
Michelle Williams
Eddie Redmayne
Kenneth Branagh
Printer-Friendly version
That�s the position 23-year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) winds up with after he talks himself onto the crew of The Prince and the Showgirl, directed by Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and headlined by Monroe (Michelle Williams).
Olivier was an Actor who thought his star to be nothing more than a body with two breasts and a mole, despite discouragement from Monroe�s acting coach Paula Strasberg (Zo� Wanamaker) and co-star Dame Sybil Thorndike (Judi Dench). It�s no wonder. She showed up late to set, forgot all of her lines, fought about her character�s motivations, and cozied up with pills.
Set five years before Monroe�s death, Simon Curtis� My Week with Marilyn can�t bother to mourn over her �probable suicide� and only vaguely hints at it. It is linked to that one week with Clark, who wrote the memoir The Prince, the Showgirl and Me about his experiences. Yet it can�t avoid recycling everything we�ve heard before, and so never gets to the point of shining any new light on Monroe.
Either does Michelle Williams, who was brave to take the role. Her performance exceeds mimicry, which is how many actresses have handled the role, but she, like Clark, seems incapable of penetrating the familiar.
Maybe that�s unavoidable, given Monroe�s stature. After Naomi Watts gives it a shot, no more Marilyn biopics.

Chicago Paws [view the full listing]
My favorite dog trainer
Jeff Millman at Chicago Paws is the best dog trainer in the city. Super patient, loves animals, and offers lots of great ideas. Thanks to his fun games, I can put those Westminster Kennel Club dogs to shame. Okay, well maybe I can't prance around in a circle after letting some weirdo check the length of my tail, but I'm really good at waving hello and goodbye. My park palls tell me Jeff uses positive reinforcement and I loved the little clickers he used to teach me new things. Plus, we went on field trips and he gave my mom homework that included lots of treats for me. Jeff is the best!

TORONTO (AP) Looking in from center field, Darnell McDonald (FSY) had a great view of how well Jon Lester (FSY) was pitching, so he made sure a great start didn't go to waste.
Lester struck out 11 in seven innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0 Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep.
"This was a great series for us," Lester said.
BOX SCORE: Red Sox 2, Blue Jays 0
McDonald scored one run and drove in another to help the Red Sox win their sixth straight game in Toronto. The Red Sox swept consecutive series of three games or more in this city for the first time since 1981 and 1982.
"It was huge for us," catcher Jason Varitek (FSY) said. "Obviously we didn't swing the bats great but we scored just enough and it started with Jon's pitching."
McDonald had one of the best views of that.
"Wow. It's a beautiful thing to watch from center field," McDonald said. "It looked like he got better as the game went on."
Boston has won seven of nine since being swept in a four-game series by Tampa Bay, and Lester sees more good things ahead now that the Red Sox (11-11) have returned to .500.
"Once we get on a bit of a roll it's hard to stop us," Lester said. "If we keep putting games together like that, pitching and hitting when we need to, things will take care of themselves."
Toronto, which has lost five straight and nine of 12, was shut out for the second time in four games. The Blue Jays have not scored in 17 innings.
"We shouldn't have lost three games," Toronto's Aaron Hill (FSY) said. "Yeah, they pitched good, but still, we're better than that."
Jonathan Papelbon (FSY) worked the ninth for his seventh save.
Lester (1-2) came in winless in four starts with a 6.23 ERA but was brilliant in this one.
He allowed just one hit, a leadoff double by Vernon Wells (FSY) in the second, and followed by retiring 14 straight batters, a streak that ended with Mike McCoy's (FSY) two-out walk in the sixth. Lester finished that inning by striking out Hill looking, and ended his outing with a 1-2-3 seventh.
"He pitched really well," manager Terry Francona said. "He ought to feel good about himself. He looks great."
Hill, who went 0-4 with three strikeouts, was also full of praise for Lester.
"That's the best I've seen him," Hill said. "He's always had good stuff and a good arm, but he had everything in any count."
Daniel Bard (FSY) took over in the eighth and gave up a leadoff double to Alex Gonzalez (FSY), then struck out pinch hitters Adam Lind (FSY), Fred Lewis (FSY) and Travis Snider (FSY).
With Lester silencing the Blue Jays offense, Toronto's fans didn't have much to cheer about. One of the loudest ovations of the night from the 15,276 fans came when word spread that the Montreal Canadiens scored a third-period goal against the Washington Capitals in Game 7 of their first round playoff series.
Boston broke a scoreless tie in the sixth when McDonald led off with a double, went to third on Marco Scutaro's (FSY) single and scored on Dustin Pedroia's (FSY) sacrifice fly.
The Red Sox doubled their lead against reliever Casey Janssen (FSY) in the seventh when McDonald grounded a two-out single through the left side.
"He's done a good job," Francona said of McDonald. "He's sitting down there in the nine hole but he's got big hits. He's played a pretty good center field. I think he's excited about his opportunity and he's looking to make the most of it."
Making his second start of the season, Blue Jays left-hander Brett Cecil (FSY) (1-1) allowed one run and five hits in six innings. He walked one and struck out three.
"(Lester) was a few pitches better than I was," Cecil said.
NOTES: Red Sox OF Mike Cameron (FSY), out since April 18 with an abdominal strain, is expected to resume running this weekend, Francona said. ... Blue Jays LHP Rommie Lewis (FSY) made his major league debut with a scoreless ninth.
