Irish-born Jack Lukeman used his evocative croon and natural sex appeal to paint himself as a more accessible, mainstream version of edgy, brooding baritones like Jim Morrison, Scott Walker, and Nick Cave. A native of Athy, County Kildare, Lukeman earned a devoted fan base in Ireland with his blend of rock & roll, ethereal balladry, and occasional post-punk flourishes. His debut album, Metropolis Blue, broke him through to a wider Irish audience over the second half of 1999, and was released in the U.S. in the summer of 2000. ~ Steve Huey

[13 June 2014]
The best part of Bound by Flame is its story, but even that is far from flawless. It's quite flawed, but those flaws actually make the story more interesting. In a weird twist, the things that make Bound by Flame unique—at least amongst its epic fantasy RPG peers—are also the things that make it a lesser story overall. There's barely any character development for either the protagonist or the supporting cast; the world isn't well developed; and the game sets up an epic war only to end after a single skirmish. The narrative constantly undercuts everything that makes an epic fantasy epic and almost gets away with it.
You play as Vulcan, a mercenary who's tasked with protecting some mages while they perform a dangerous ritual. They're desperate for power because humanity is at war with the Ice Lords, and we've done nothing but lose. This ritual is supposed to make the mages more powerful, allowing them to hopefully fight back against the Ice Lords. Naturally things go wrong, and Vulcan ends up with a demon inside him. He's not possessed, the demon is just a passenger, but at certain points in the game, you can choose to give it more control, trading your humanity for more power.
By the end of the game, if you've chosen the power option every time, you become something of a demon: ultra powerful beyond any human or mage with horns sticking out from your head and a body engulfed in constant flame. You're essentially a god, having transcended above humanity, and thus no longer concerned with petty human conflicts. This is where the lack of proper character development benefits the game.
By luck or by design, Vulcan's character arc matches your own disinterest in the world and its inhabitants. The idea to use "humanity" and "power" as options to represents "good" and "evil" is not new, but it feels especially powerful in Bound by Flame because for once I can understand this character's lack of humanity. I understand why he'd want to kill his commander or abandon his friends or let his potential lover die. It's hard to care about the main cast since they're all archetypal and never grow beyond the trope they represent (the sultry succubus, the inexperienced bookworm, the stoic warrior, the mouthy ranger). I do feel superior to them, and I do look down on them. I see them as the sacrificial pawns that they really are, which makes for a different kind of RPG experience. I'm more likely to do things that harm them because I'm not invested in their struggle.
At the midpoint of the game, the humans and elves want to go to a certain city to reinforce its defenses, and they ask you to come. It feels strangely good to say "no," to actually refuse to help someone in an RPG, but it also feels appropriate, the kind of thing I'd still do if I were truly role playing as Vulcan. The more I disrespect the world, the more at one I feel with Vulcan, or at least the demon version of Vulcan. As a result, by the time the game ends, I feel uniquely attached to him.
Looking at the game from a larger structural perspective, it's frustrating that the story ends after you fight just one Ice Lord, but that's also kind of neat. The truth is that Bound by Flame is a small game—at least in comparison to its epic fantasy peers—and to its credit, the game knows its own limits. The story is specifically written to be small scale. There's a logical reason that the story ends after you fight one Ice Lord. It's a plot development that makes sense, and it doesn't feel like a rushed, slapdash ending that we got stuck with due to production problems. Bound by Flame knows exactly what kind of game it is, and that is something to be respected.
The problem is that the game doesn't let the player in on this knowledge until after we've had time to imagine something grander. The premise promises a continent-wide battle to retake the world, and the game proper opens with an ambitious action scene that further sells that promise. It's only after several hours that the demon explains how we can disempower the Ice Lords with a single swoop, but by then, it's too late. We've already been sold on the war.
The developer, Spiders, makes many small scale RPGS. One of their other games, Mars: War Logs, was similarly written as a small scale conflict set within a larger war. A prologue talks about huge corporate battles on Mars for water, hinting at a lot of interesting politics. However, the game proper opens within a small scale P.O.W prison setting. The moment that we take control of a character we're under no illusions about the scope of this adventure. Mars: War Logs knows that it's a comparatively small game, and it makes sure the player knows this as well. Bound by Flame doesn't feel like it purposefully tries to trick the player, but it does trick the player.
Bound by Flame is at the very least interesting because of all of its contradictions. It's a bad game with some good ideas, but it's also a bad game whose badness actually makes its good ideas better. It's impossible not to be disappointed in it, but I can still appreciate it for its realistic ambitions and inadvertently clever writing. If only all bad games were this good.

Film & Discussion: Bitter Seeds
Bitter Seeds is an internationally award-winning film that explores the future of how we grow things, weighing in on the worldwide debate over the changes created by industrial agriculture. Companies like the U.S.-based Monsanto claim that their genetically modified (GM) seeds offer the most effective solution to feeding the world's growing population, but on the ground, many small-scale farmers are losing their land. Nowhere is the situation more desperate than in India, where an epidemic of farmer suicides has claimed over a quarter million lives. Every 30 minutes one farmer in India, deep in debt and unable to provide for his family, commits suicide. ***7pm Screening 8:45pm Discussion / Q&A with the director Micha X.

Police officers surround EDL demonstrators in Albert Square on March 2
Elham Asaad Buaras
Fifteen people were arrested on March 2 during a rally by the far right anti-Muslim group the English Defence League (EDL).
About 700 EDL demonstrators gathered in Albert Square, Manchester, with about 350 people taking part in a counter protest.
Hundreds of officers from Greater Manchester Police penned in the demonstrators as the left wing Unite against Fascism (UaF) held a counter demonstration.
Two people were arrested over an incident when bottles and coins were thrown at a UAF protester who unfurled a Nazi Scum banner and a woman was arrested for climbing onto a police van.
Onlookers reported seeing several fights breaking out between different factions of the EDL, including a fight at Victoria train station that had to be broken up by police and saw a further four people arrested.
Chief Supt John O'Hare said: "I understand that these events are emotive and polarise the views of individuals but we must respect everyone's right to a legal and peaceful protest."
Labour Councillor Daniel Gillard told the crowd, "If Muslims are being targeted by the EDL then we are all being targeted."
Local union banners included the Unison Women's Group and the NUT. The PCS union band filled the streets with sound.
Iqbal Hussein came with 20 people from Medina mosque in Levenshulme, south Manchester. He said, "We are for diversity, we want a peaceful Manchester."

The growing tension between Iran and Egypt continues to escalates as the Egyptian government views Iranian action throughout the Middle East as harmful to its national interests. Iran is the most powerful Shiite Muslim nation in the world and thus a threat to Sunni countries like Egypt. An informal alliance of Sunni nations such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the gulf states and elsewhere is coming together to halt the spread not merely of Iranian influence but of the Shiite religion. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Gheit noted: "The political cards which Iran holds.. it holds as a result of a desire to defend Iranian interests. It might be Iran's right to try, but Egypt has a right to defend Arab territory.
Many Middle Eastern Arab nations fear the power of Iran which is not considered an Arab society. Gheit cited Iranian influence in Lebanon where it is attempting to install an Islamic government and in Syria and the Palestinian territories as examples of Iran's growing power.
During the 1950s, Gamel Nasser of Egypt was the hero of many people in the region, today, Iran is assuming that role. That is why it is imperative for Israel to make genuine compromises to ensure Palestinian rule before Iran enters the picture.

The Global Citizen is a joint project of New Voices and the American Jewish World Service (AJWS). Throughout the year, a group of former AJWS volunteers will offer their take on global justice, Judaism and international development. Opinions expressed by Global Citizen bloggers do not necessarily represent AJWS.
At my school I am one of the co presidents of our Jewish Student Union. At the onset of the year we had to meet with our student group advisor. Confused, she sat looking at the list of activities we had planned (Shabbat dinners, Hanukah and Purim parties, movie nights) and then looked at us perplexed and asked politely, "Now I have this conversation every year with the JSU. You guys are listed as a cultural club… is that right? Most of these activities seem like religious activities, would you like to be in the spiritualities cluster?" The question made us all skip a beat before scrambling (unsuccessfully) to explain that Judaism was complex in nature, and religion in the traditional sense (ie g-d, prayer, festivals) is woven into the cultural. She stared blankly. It was okay if she didn't understand it, we told her, we ourselves don't completely get it, and explaining it is pretty much out of the question. The Jewish Identity crisis, we said, was not about to be explained in that office.
This meeting, and the subsequent ones that are beginning to become routine (ie explaining to her why we always do events with Hillel, explaining that we need kosher catering on campus, explaining why Jews for Jesus coming to our meetings are a problem, etc.) have really pushed me hard to think in new ways. Never before had I had to actually come up with answers for the questions about my Jewish identity, and all the sudden I am expected to answer the question for our entire organization. A collective of Jews. oye. Moreover, in a place like Portland, where the Jewish community is very small one has to be aware of being tokenized. The assumption, wrong but understandable, is that the entire Jewish community has a similar stance on issues. I usually pull out the old "two Jews, three opinions" joke to try and reconcile this confusion. My explanation is often met with a blank stare and an awkward courtesy laugh.
While the trivial issues have been a headache, the issues that run far deeper have truly knocked the wind out of me more than a couple times this term. This was possibly best exemplified at our general membership meeting last week. A campus group, "Students for United Palestine" is putting on a play about Gaza. All over campus are posters yielding faces of scare Palestinian children, the moving borders of Israel and other emotion evoking images. The debate they brought to our meeting had resounding murmurs of this identity crisis, what was our response? What was the Jewish response? Our organization is a wide spectrum of opinions regarding these issues, and we were being asked to have a platform. I left that meeting feeling very powerless.
The cosmos must have known I had been struggling with this concept of Jewish identity in such a secular world and sent a special guest my way. Last week my school hosted author Charles London. In his book, Far from Zion, London leads us on his journey to find different Jewish communities around the world.
"In this spiritual ethnography, he reports on his yearlong journey to countries where Jewish people are thriving under challenging circumstances. Their struggles with multiple identities and cultural histories—and their ability to create meaningful Jewish lives—inspired his personal spiritual development."
In a noisy bar on campus we gathered around to hear his moving experiences in Arkansas, Uganda, and even Iran. What I found most significant about his story was that he never felt paralyzed by the lack of cohesion. He instead felt empowered by the diversity of practice, by the fact that all these people felt so committed to the Jewish story, they were willing to do whatever they could to maintain their identity. I highly recommend checking out this book. If you are like me at this moment, it may just help you in a way it helped me; instead of seeking answers, he reminds, we should be seeking better questions.
More information about the book, or London himself, can be found on the book's website

A near and dear friend said to me recently, "I'm so sick of this weather I am ready to jump off a dock into the lake, but I can't because the lake is STILL FROZEN!"
I'll have to keep an eye on her this week as we have seen ice out in the metro lakes.
We need a warm up. We'll get one this week, gradually.
Many areas in Minnesota have seen more snow since March 15th than they did all winter.
Our persistent upper air pattern has featured a stubborn upper level low (polar vortex) over James Bay since mid January. This has kept Minnesota in a cool northerly flow since then.
April will be the 3rd month in a row with below average temps in the metro. The last time we had 3 or more consecutive months below average in the metro was nearly 4 years ago. May through August 2004 temperatures were about 2.5 degrees cooler than average. You may remember the cool summer of 2004.
Last year our last frost occurred on April 14th. This year? It could be May.
This week will feature a slow warming trend and more sun through Thursday. The next weather maker moves in Friday and Saturday according to some models. It may again bring a shot of heavy rain followed by a chilly weekend. Some of the models try to steer this feature south, but we will see.
Chaos reigns in the medium range forecast models. Some hint at a big warm up next week.
Stay tuned, and hang in there!

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee meets today, which means investors and real estate experts might squirm in their seats a bit over interest rates.
1. Get up to speed on what experts are expecting the Fed to do today. Check back at Bankrate later today to find out what Bernanke said -- and how to translate it into plan 'ol English.
2. So you bought four plane tickets to Italy, went on a shopping spree and took out money on your credit card? No, that wasn't you? Follow these steps to recover if you're a victim of credit card fraud.
3. At least you can use cash for your shopping spree at yard sales this summer until that credit card fraud situation gets squared away.
4. Read all about it: A politician is shying away from transparency. (It doesn't seem like news exactly, does it?) OK, maybe that's not entirely fair to say about Mitt Romney, who is stalling the release of his 2011 tax return and dealing with an Internal Revenue Service audit.
5. If you have a complaint about your credit card or banking account, the CFPB is taking consumer complaints and might be able to help you out.

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > QB > Josh Johnson
Josh Johnson Scouting Report
|Div I-AA
|San Diego Toreros
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'3 - 195 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Josh Johnson, QB, San Diego
Johnson has been a full time starter for San Diego University since his sophomore season. His most productive season was 2006 when he posted 246-371 for 3,320 yards with an impressive 34-5 TD-to-interception ratio. He completed 66.3% of his passes. He capped off his impressive career with a season for the ages. He passed for 2,988 yards with an impressive 43-1 TD-interception ratio. He also accounted for 72.6 rushing yards per game. He will play in the East-West Shrine Bowl game. Johnson is an outstanding athlete, he is fast (4.67-40) and agile. He has been playing in a pro style offensive system and is an intelligent player who has improved every year. He uses his instincts very well. He has good arm strength and a very impressive career TD-Int ratio. Johnson is a good decision maker, making plays all over the field. He has shown the ability to lead and is a quick learner. Although his level of competition is a concern as he did not face complex defensive schemes in college. He also needs to show more patience in the pocket and his footwork is a concern, so he needs to improve on his mechanics. Johnson is an extremely raw prospect who happens to have top flight talent. He did improve in each of his seasons playing QB. He had an outstanding East-West Shrine Game where he passed for 78 yards with a TD. He also rushed for 91 yards while earning the game's MVP trophy. He played very well against good competition. His performance at the game and the practices leading up to it had the effect of elevating his stock from a late rounder or even free agency, to either the fourth or fifth round area. He does have a world of talent and with some mechanical corrections, there's no telling how far he can go in the NFL. A true sleeper who has better ability and intangibles than Seneca Wallace when the former came out of Iowa State.

Beach House 4 of 5 steve Jan 22, 2014 Bay view home with pool; North Island
"Beach House"
This house was great because of the location to restaurants/bars and the beach access. The pool is very nice. The house was clean. The neighborhood is nice. I would stay at this location again.
The upstairs was very nice, but the lower level had a amp odor that you had to get used to. The house was a little older than I had anticipated but had every amenity you needed. The pool was perfect, lots of seating, loved the huge TV. We felt very comfortable for the most part. Just be careful in the basement as the ceilings were very low. We had a great stay. Lots to do in the area also.
The house was very pleasant for us (2 adults, 3 kids) plus other family (2 adults).
The pool was very nice and the kids had a great time spending multiple hours every day enjoying the warm water (pool is heated).
We did not use the outdoor theater except to stream music, but the setup looks very nice.
The kitchen has every utensil and pot / pan that you might need for pretty much any meal. A HUGE plus, was that there are GOOD knives (most rental houses seem to have horrible knives that make cutting potatoes very difficult). My only "complaint" so to speak was that there were zero kitchen items like aluminum foil and plastic wrap. Plus oddly - given that it is a rental - there were almost no spices (other than salt / pepper), where commonly left behind spices are typically retained. This was a small issue, but I did miss NOT having aluminum foil.
My cousin, her husband and I took 9 high school senior on their spring break and had an amazing time. The house was everything in the description plus. We never wanted to leave once we arrived. It was our own slice of heaven for 1 week. The location was prefect, the pool is awesome, projection tv, and sound system. The e home owners are wonderful people. Anytime we had questions the homeowners where available to answer them. Everything you could possibly need during our stay was at the house. Some life memories where made during our stay. Can't wait to go back !!!
Overall, everything was perfect. The kids loved the basement and got a kick out of the height of the ceiling. We played in the pool every day and only went to the beach one day because the privacy of the pool and the backyard was too awesome. The kitchen was well stocked with absolutely everything you could need for cooking. There were plenty of bath towels, beach towels, beach play toys (boogie boards, etc.), pool chairs and beach chairs for all 12 of us. Kim was absolutely accommodating for all of our needs. She answered all of our questions in a prompt manner. The location to town center and to the grocery store was perfect. Looking forward to seeing the future house! And....I recommend the nachos at La Ola! We ordered the large nachos and the three of us could only finish half of the plate! The plate was as big as the table! Thanks, Kim, for everything.
We really enjoyed our stay! House is very comfortable with alot of character. Kids loved the pool and the pool decor. Would consider staying here again.
The two level "duplex" home is unique, and was well suited for our family. The location is great - close enough to walk to Time Square, but not totally in the middle of the heaviest tourist traffic. An easy walk across the street to the beach, view of the interior canal from the back porch, and an on site pool with privacy fence gave us balanced choices depending on the mood and the weather. The home is not new and/or flashy, but the owners have provided thoughtful amenities that made our stay wonderful. Well equipped kitchen, grill on the deck, floats for the pool, beach towels and chairs, large flat screen TV's and more, provide a great headquarters for our one week vacation with adult children. The low - ceiling finished lower level was ideal for our oldest son and his wife, since it has a bedroom, and living space, including kitchenette, that gave them their own apartment within the larger unit. Tall folk will find the lower level challenging. Overall a great experience, and pleasant owner that was happy to assist with any questions.
Only 6 blocks from Times Square shopping district, near Diamondhead Resort and very short walk across Estero Blvd to our beautiful sugar-sand beach. A public boat ramp is right across the street. Easy access on and off the island. Many restaurants are within easy walking distance. Trolley stop is next door and room for 4 to 6 cars in the driveway. Bike/scooter rental next door. Close to Jungle Golf, Smugglers Golf, Zoomers Amusement Park, Lovers Key State Park, Pirate cruise, Calusa Blueway kayak/boating trail, Estero Bay Preserve, New expanded library. We are across the street from DiamondHead Beach Resort and Spa.

Oh wow! Those wings are amazing. Love this costume.
Wow those wings are great!
ALL THE feathers... (Posted 18th August 2012)
I have started adding the feather onto the base...This does involve the tedious job of glueing each one individually but think its worth it. I think so far the shape has come out quite nicely, I would have loved wings as big as avacyn's but alas it's just not practical. Waiting for some more feathers in the post now...
Wing Construction: It begins! (Posted 18th August 2012)
So I started creating the base for my wings. The top edge is made from hardboard foam and the rest is from basket cane. I am hoping that this wil allow the wings to be reasonably light to wear...*crosses fingers*
Let the wings commence! (Posted 22nd July 2012)
Today I am starting to construct the skeleton that will hold the wings. Wish me luck.....

BB 2006 on the way

The celebrations for last night's Big Brother winner Greg may still be continuing, but Network Ten has wasted no time in announcing that the reality television show will return in 2006.
An average audience of 2.28 million people tuned in last night to watch Greg triumph over the short-odds favourite Tim, according to OzTam figures.
The 23-year-old Sydney sales representative walked away with the $836,000 prize but will split it with his identical twin brother, and fellow housemate, David.
The twins will share the prize because they entered the house pretending to be one person - known as Logan.
Last night's two-and-a-half hour final was the third most watched program of 2005 behind other final episodes of Dancing With the Stars (2.34 million) and Desperate Housewives (2.28 million).
That result gave Ten a ratings win for Monday night but the figure was down on previous years' finals.
The first final, in 2001, attracted an average audience of 2.78 million, while last year an average of 2.83 million people tuned in to see Trevor Butler take a $1 million prize.
However, Ten's general manager of network programming David Mott said ratings over the 100 days of the show had been generally higher compared with 2004.
Daily episodes of 2005 Big Brother drew audiences of more than a million people, while the Sunday Live eviction shows were watched by 1.5 million viewers.
''To see Big Brother perform so strongly in year five, and improve its share of the 16-39 audience, is just amazing,'' Mr Mott said.
''These results prove the enduring popularity of the format and confirm Big Brother's place in the hearts and minds of under-40s.''
The 2005 Big Brother series included a number of changes to previous years.
These surprises included the house's first set of twins, the Logan pair, double evictions and several intruders, including the last-minute arrival of a Portuguese transsexual who won last year's UK show.
And for the first time, housemates were fined by Big Brother for slip-ups, losing $5,000 for each breach of the reality show's rules.
The show also attracted its share of controversy, featuring allegations of sexual harassment, bullying, anti-semitism, animal cruelty, homophobia, full frontal nudity and sexual antics.
As a result the Australian Broadcasting Authority is investigating three episodes of Big Brother: Uncut.

If there were such as thing as the "perfect food," the egg is most likely it. Its simplicity is such that we need not slaughter it or harvest it. Its versatility is such that it can be savory or sweet. And its taste is such that it needs little more than a pinch of salt.
Egg, so simply named by authors Lyndsay and Patrick Mikanowski, is just that—a colorful ode to the egg, with a compilation of recipes from 40 top toques such as Thomas Keller, Ferran Adrià and Alain Passard. Dishes such as Passard's Eggs Sunny Side Inside or Eric Ripert's Quail's Egg Carbonara Nest offer contemporary takes on traditional egg dishes, while creations such as the Caviar "Egg Roll" by Wylie Dufresne or the Hen's Egg "Guy Legay" by Yves Camdeborde push the boundaries of culinary innovation.
Photographer Grant Symon lends his artistic vision to this beautiful book, contrasting vibrant food photography with striking monochromatic portraits of the featured chefs. While you won't find any recipes on simple omelettes or huevos rancheros here, there is a section on basic dishes such as scrambled eggs and soufflés. With tips on storage and cooking, as well as a foreword on the egg's history and folklore, Egg is more than just a book or an ingredient—it is an art.
Scrambled Eggs
Serves 5
10 eggs, slightly beaten
½ c butter
½ c cream (warmed in microwave)
salt and pepper to taste
Using a bain-marie or double boiler over low but direct heat, melt a small amount of the butter. Once it has melted, add the eggs and stir continuously. As soon as the mixture begins to thicken (about 30 minutes), remove from the heat and incorporate the rest of the butter in small pieces, the warm cream and the salt and pepper. Serve at once on warmed plates.

House is fully equipped, more than you need.
Fine and clean house near to the beach. Everything is operational.
Balcony on the East side.
Host is kind and helpful.
Karl thank you very much. Stay in your apartment has been very pleasant for us. We are very satisfied both the house and its terrific situation in beachfront. The place, Torrox, and is known to us for us. It is not the first time we went there and not be the last. It is possible that in the future we return to rent your beautiful apartment.
A greeting.
The location is great for the sea. Convenient to experience the city. In the description it is given wi-fi included among the services I work with internet and for me it is very important and only on confirmation of booking I was told that was not present in the apartment internet and I could buy an orange card. (Very bad start). no damage is caused to the washing machine. discharge flushing in the bathroom was always open, and did not let us sleep for the noise, you could not stop the water. the shower water is not flowed, to the drain problems. in the kitchen the stove do not work all. the plates and cutlery were washed bad and still fat. we were told that the balcony was dirty because of us, when in fact fall debris from the upper balconies. awnings in the balcony were full of sand just opened.
The apartment has complete housing equipment. It is clean and environment is quite and friendly.
nice apartment it was warm, and Mr Werland was most helpful nice to see him again
The indoor is not very spacious, but very well structured: fresh, cosy, very clean, warm and fully equipped. The host is really an authentic person! Charming, talkative, very pleasant and kind. The sixth floor where the appartment is located, gives great and amazing views over the Scharfe lake, which is just 100m further. There are no other buildings in front of the terrace, just a small typical garden colonnade where Albert Einstein used to have his house. The area is really calm and quiet, as it is located in a residential zone just 25 minutes from Alexanderplatz, when using the public transport. In only 15 minutes one can reach Zoologischer Garten. A parking space and 2 bikes are also available for the visitors to explore the nature around.

Celtics acquire Tyler Zeller, Marcus Thornton, 1st-round pick in deal that may pave way for LeBron James to Cleveland
|07.09.14 at 10:51 am ET
The Celtics acquired Tyler Zeller and a first-round pick from the Cavaliers and Marcus Thornton from the Nets in a three-team trade that may pave the way for LeBron James' return to Cleveland, ESPN's Marc Stein first reported.
In return, the Celtics are sending a second-round pick to the Cavs and using the $10.3 million trade exception they received upon dealing Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to Brooklyn last summer. That TPE was set to expire on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Nets receive Jarrett Jack and Sergey Karasev from the Cavaliers, freeing enough cap space (roughly $24.0 million) for Cleveland to potentially offer James a maximum contract of four years, $94.8 million.
As a result, the Celtics reportedly received Cleveland's No. 1 pick in 2016 (top-10 protected through 2018), a 24-year-old 7-footer under their control through 2016 and Thornton's expiring $8.6 million contract for a second-round pick.
In addition to acquiring Zeller, who averaged 13.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per 36 minutes last season, the Celtics could have as many as nine first-round picks over the next four seasons and $41.4 million in expiring contracts (Rajon Rondo's $12.9 million, Brandon Bass' $6.9 million, Joel Anthony's $3.8 million and potentially Jeff Green's $9.2 million player option). There's no doubt the move puts the Celtics in a better position to acquire Kevin Love or any other desirable player by trade this season or by free agency next summer.
According to Kirk Goldsberry's easily digestible shot charts, Zeller (1,049 min, 5.7 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 58.1 TS%, 15.4 PER) attempted nearly 70 percent of his shots around the basket and converted almost 60 percent of them. Likewise, Thornton (1,741 min, 9.8 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 1.1 apg, 51.1 TS%, 12.0 PER) is a decent enough 3-point shooter from the right corner, left arc and straightaway, but underwhelming from mid-range and the paint. Neither are considered defensive stalwarts. Quite simply, this trade, in a vacuum, does not make the C's much better this year.
Additionally, the Celtics now have $64.7 million in guaranteed contracts dedicated to Rondo, Gerald Wallace ($10.1M), Green, Thornton, Bass, Anthony, Avery Bradley (estimated $8M), Vitor Faverani ($2.1M), Kelly Olynyk ($2.1M), Zeller ($1.7M) and Jared Sullinger ($1.4M). That puts them over the estimated $63.2 million salary cap. Details of Marcus Smart's contract haven't emerged, but cap holds for him and James Young already add another $4.1 million to that number. Likewise, the C's also have Phil Pressey, Chris Johnson and Chris Babb signed to non-guaranteed minimum contracts, pushing their current commitments to $69.7 million.
In other words, the best the Celtics can now offer a free agent is the non-taxpayer mid-level exception ($5.3M), meaning Ainge probably isn't done dealing this summer, especially if he hopes to avoid the lottery again next year.

So, I've got an '04 WRX that I just grenaded the engine on last week. The mechanic who looked at said the engine definitely needs a new shortblock, and said I could have damaged the cams and turbo, too. He quoted me a price of around $8500, and I'm only willing to spend $6k tops. I was looking around and found a couple of complete long block engines with the turbo in the $2500-$3500 range. I also found a couple STi engines complete. Will an STi engine easily bolt right into my WRX, including the wiring from the original WRX wiring harness? Is this too much trouble to get myself into and just be looking at the 2.0L turbo engines?
Also, does anyone know a good shop in San Diego that knows what they're doing with Subarus? I don't really have the tools or garage that I'd need to do any of the work myself. I really like the car, and any help is much appreciated.
One last thing, does anyone know what years engines I should be looking at for doing the swap?

Ahmedabad, Dec 14: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was set to speak to people simultaneously across 53 places from 6.30 pm onwards on Friday through 3D projection technology. This will be Modi's final 3D election meet this time.
The second and final phase of the Gujarat election is scheduled on December 17. Ninety-five constituencies, including Maninagar from where Modi is contesting, will go to the elections on that day.
Modi had addressed 53 places during his earlier 3D election meet on December 10. The Gujarat CM had first connected with people across four cities of the state using 3D technology on November 18. Eleven days later, he had spoken to people in 26 places across 15 districts and on December 4, he met people across 52 places using the medium.
The Congress, meanwhile, slammed Modi's hitech campaigning and moved the Election Commission alleging that the Gujarat CM had violated the model code of conduct for poll campaign.

In Republican Primaries, Control of the Kansas House at Stake
Today is primary day in Kansas, so, obviously, we don't have any races between Democrats and Republican. Yet today's elections still could determine who controls the Kansas House of Representatives next year. Will conservative Republicans have the majority or will moderates exercise power?
Today is primary day in Kansas, so, obviously, we don't have any races between Democrats and Republican. Yet today's elections still could determine who controls the Kansas House of Representatives next year.
To understand what I mean, first you have to know the context. Since taking over for Kathleen Sebelius 15 months ago, Mark Parkinson has been a very productive governor by any reasonable measure. As a Democrat working with a Republican legislature, he's resolved a long-standing dispute over new coal plants, signed a renewable energy plan and a statewide smoking ban, persuaded lawmakers to pass a temporary sales tax increase to blunt the impact of budget cuts and approved a new 10-year transportation funding plan.
There are several reasons for Parkinson's success. His decision not to seek a full term depoliticized the environment. His time as a former Kansas House member meant he had friends in the legislature. And, he exploited the divide between Kansas' moderate and conservative Republicans.
I didn't realize that divide remained so dramatic until I started reporting a piece on Parkinson. "Kansas, for all intents and purposes, has three political parties," Parkinson says -- conservative Republicans, moderate Republicans and Democrats. The governor's victories only have been possible because of the support of Republican moderates. Parkinson, it's worth noting, is a former moderate Republican himself.
In the Kansas House, the divide is especially stark. The House Speaker, Mike O'Neal, is a conservative. Yet perhaps 20 House Republicans or so are willing to buck the leadership and side with Democrats on some key issues. This year, none was bigger than the vote to raise the sales tax, a move that has many conservatives infuriated.
When I spoke with Parkinson yesterday, I asked him whether he thought the coalition between Democrats and moderate Republicans would continue after he leaves office. "I could give you a better answer on Wednesday," he said. That's because several of the House Republicans who voted for the sales tax face challenges from the right. There have been some rumblings that Democrats and moderate Republicans might even team up to choose depose O'Neal and select a moderate speaker. But, for the coalition of Democrats and Republican moderates to continue to exercise power -- either formally or informally -- the moderate Republicans have to survive.
After Parkinson told me that, I made an effort to figure out which Republican primaries to watch. The key ones, I think, are places where the Kansas Chamber of Commerce (a vocal opponent of the sales tax hike) has endorsed a primary challenger to an incumbent Republican who voted for the sales tax. Here's a list, for those of you who would like to follow along at home this evening:
As an aside, one thing I've gradually come to realize is that local and state chambers of commerce don't actually share a uniform political philosophy. Some are bastions of moderation, others are quite conservative. The head of the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, for example, is Denver Mayor (and Colorado Democratic gubernatorial candidate) John Hickenlooper's former chief of staff. Not too surprisingly, the Metro Denver Chamber has played key role in fighting the state's revenue-limiting Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. Along the same lines, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce endorsed that state's sales tax increase earlier this year. But the Kansas Chamber, in pretty similar circumstances, has led the opposition.
Finally, here are a couple of bonus Republican primaries to watch in Kansas today. The Kansas Senate doesn't have regularly scheduled elections this year, but there is a special in the 7th District between Republican incumbent Terrie Huntington, who supported the sales tax increase, and Chamber-backed challenger David Harvey. Plus, don't forget that Kris Kobach, Kansas' interstate immigration crusader, is hoping to be the Republican nominee for secretary of state.

Have successfully completed lectures 1,2,3. However, tried to run my app. with the parallel cable disconnected from computer and it wouldn't run. Why not? Which leads to the question - if you develop a device that actually accomplishes something useful, how does the atmega168 need to be wired once the parallel cable connectors are removed? I tried the datasheet to see if I could figure this out, but not a hope.
OK, my bad, I typed O instead of 0 into the command line. However, based on the data sheet for the atmega168, I used 0xEF for the low fuse byte, rather than the 0xE6 as stated in the tutorial. They both work, but the data sheet indicates that CKSEL3 needs to be 1. Any comments?
Everything has worked well up until trying to use avrdude to set the low fuse value to hex E6. avrdude reports that E6 is an invalid byte value for use in immediate mode. Any ideas anyone?
No public wish lists :(

Humm so my friend just picked up a 03 Acura 3.2 CL Type-S (6 speed)
His Car: 03 3.2 CL Type-S Mods:Comptech headers and intake, also VAFC set @3800 for v-tec y0! and some other goodies
05 wrx w/ hks exhaust,stock wheels,gauges and sti hoodscoop + moron driver.
So anyway we're headed to a party so we hopped on the freeway and was crusing at 75-80mph in the fast lane for a while, then out of no where this prick in a black wrx drives next to us and honks his horn 3 times and takes off.. then proceeds to put his hazards on, then slows down and gets behind us.. and starts highbeaming me us. So my friend moves over to the slow lane and lets the wrx pass us up.. but nooo he moves to the same lane and starts revvin his engine like hes the king of the road at this point we just busted up laughing. the driver then moves moves back to the fast lane and we slow down to see what hes gonna bust out next but he stays right on our side..still revving away.. so my friend drops it into 4th and we put three cars on him and slow down.. next thing you know it he does a ricer flyby at like 110mph and we see red and blue lights behind him. mr.popo chp saw and heard him after we stopped for a couple of miles and busted him. Anyway i was pretty surprised and thought the wrx would have kept up.. but good thing we didnt get pulled over for street racing or anything my friend was kinda pissed he wasted gas on the guy but it was a good laugh for the rest of the night and we had a good story to tell the folks at the party. on the side note the cl can pull pretty hard on the highway esp w/ mods.

Start, car parking for a few cars only, not as advertised, had to pay for parking on street.
Hotel smelt damp & musty. Decor old drab and dark, carpets not matching from one area to another. Handles missing on chest of drawers, TV didn't work, not what you would call an en-suite bathroom, sink unit in bedroom, toilet and shower in cupboard. Bed only 30cm away from wall radiator, had to walk crab style to get from one side of room to other, could only open one side of wardrobe due to it butting up against bedside cabinet, bedside light switches part hidden behind bed headboard.

Sea Princess review
Terrible place
Made Fawlty towers look professional.
Room was smaller than my shed, had some old tablets on the side so hadn't been cleaned properly.
Car parking available but you have to leave your keys with reception as the room is limited, when we wanted the car there was 5 cars blocking us in and couldn't get it out for over 2 hours.
Breakfast was terrible, I have a mushroom allergy and told them, they of course brought out a breakfast with mushrooms on, I explained again about my allergy, and that I would need a fresh breakfast, the waitress took the plate away and brought it back with the mushrooms gone but clearly just wiped off. So had to go elsewhere for food.
Bar was open at night so we thought we'd have a quick one before bed but the one member of staff on was elsewhere fixing a tv so had to wait.
In summary; avoid like the plague.

I'm travelling home from York with time to reflect on the General Synod meeting. I have enjoyed many very good conversations with bishops, clergy and lay Synod members, other exhibitors and Synod staff members. I know Synod isn't everyone's cup of tea, but Synod always restores my Anglican family connections, if not my sense of connection with God. That's not because God isn't present – of course she is – but Synod is so busy and complex that there I find little time or space for my contemplative, interior self.
What have I discovered about the Church of England this weekend and the prospects for the kind of change in attitudes towards LGB&T people that CA is seeking?
The many conversations I have enjoyed, added to the individual conversations CA is having with bishops, give me real encouragement. There is warm, open understanding and care for LGB&T people among many in the church. The majority of bishops, including the Archbishop of Canterbury following the House of Lords debate, know that the church's image in the wider community is in crisis, and attitudes towards women and LGB&T people are the reason.
There are two causes of concern. One is the House of Laity in General Synod. Voting patterns yesterday on the women in the episcopate proposals show there is now a solid majority among the bishops and clergy for the full inclusion of women in the church, and I think this will translate in solid support in any future vote on a debate affecting LGB&T people.
In contrast, the House of Laity has clearly not changed as a result of Saturday's facilitated conversations. There is a solid block in the House of Laity who are going to hold a conservative line towards women and LGB&T people. They think they are defending Biblical teaching and the truth and purity of the church. They are doing no such thing, of course. They are creating a nasty, divided, prejudiced church which looks totally un-Christian to those on the outside (and to many of us within the church).
The Church of England knows it has a crisis on its hands. It thinks the crisis might be solved by gently persuading enough conservatives to overcome their convictions and vote yes for women bishops. I am convinced the problem is far deeper than that. I think we hold dramatically different understandings about the nature of God and they are irreconcilable. I believe in a God of love. They believe in a nasty, rule-bound, vindictive God who despite everything they say, hates gays. Until they overcome their prejudice, they will continue to drive the church towards a precipice. Until people, especially in Synod, have the courage and awareness to proclaim that God looks totally different from the conservative's version of God, the majority of people in this country will treat us with disdain and many church members will continue to abandon the church.
The second cause for concern is the process by which Church of England teaching about the place of LGB&T people in the church might be changed. A huge weight of expectation rests on Sir Joe Pilling's working party and the report he is due to present to the House of Bishops' meeting in December. The report needs to be confidently if modestly radical. It needs to provide bishops with confidence underpinning to open the doors to the blessing of same-sex relationships. I hope and pray it will.
It also needs to provide bishop with a road map for changing teaching and practice so that partnered lesbian and gay ordinands, clergy and lay ministers are unequivocally welcomed and valued by the church. Prejudice and discrimination based on gender and sexuality have to end.
I had many conversations with people at York who are energised and inspired by their encounter with God who loves, energises, blesses and includes infinitely and indiscriminately. I didn't have conversations with those who think otherwise. But I did have conversations with some bishops for whom church attendance is more important than allowing people to find a path to faith that really does open hearts and minds and lives to God's presence in the core of our being and in the unfolding energies of an evolving universe.
So long as the majority of members at Synod fail to open themselves in confidence to God's infinite, loving, creative energy – and talk about their experience of God with passion – debates will fail to ignite and Church of England policy will continue to be small, narrow, unconvincing and impoverished.
Having said that, I am so blessed to have been at Synod and enjoyed conversations every day which have been energised and deeply affirming. I am deeply grateful for my many Anglican friends, lay and ordained, clergy and bishops. Your friendship is a blessing and sustains my faith.

Some animals are born with malformations in their spine associated with the lack of a tail, a trait specifically selected for in certain breeds. The most common malformations related to this tail-less trait include hemivertebrae, spina bifida, sacrocaudal agenesis and sacrocaudal dysgenesis.
In the case of sacrocaudal dysgenesis (literally, the term means malformation of the sacrocaudal vertebrae), the congenital abnormality results in a truncated spine, as happens in the Manx breed of cats.
Though only rarely, this abnormality can be associated with neurological defects. Innervation of the anus, urinary bladder, hind limbs and tail can be affected, leading to potentially life-threatening lifelong incontinence.
Dogs and cats normally show no ill effects related to this defect. Those who suffer neurologic deficits, however, will present very early on in life (within the first few weeks) with difficulty walking in the hind limbs and/or incontinence of feces or urine or both.
It is sometimes associated with spina bifida, particularly in the case of Manx cats.
Diagnosing sacrocaudal dysgenesis happens typically via signalment and symptoms. Though imaging (usually with X-rays but also with a myelogram, CT scan and/or MRI) is recommended, most neurologically affected puppies and kittens are simply euthanized.
The most commonly affected breed of companion animal is the Manx cat. Affected dogs include the tail-less, such as certain breeds of Bulldogs (most notably the English variety) and Old English Sheepdogs.
There is no known treatment for this congenital disease. It is possible, however, to adapt affected animals to carts that will allow for ambulation in the case of severe paraplegia. Any related incontinence, however, is not considered treatable and is the most common cause for euthanasia related to sacrocaudal dysgenesis.
The cost of treatment depends on the lengths an owner will go to in accommodating a neurologically abnormal animal to life in a paraplegic's cart or other approach. Diagnosis is typically very inexpensive unless major imaging work is performed.
Curbing the breeding of any first degree relatives to affected animals is a must. Parents and siblings should not be bred. Ideally, animals should not be bred for tail-lessness. This trait is fraught with unintended spinal consequences as mentioned above.

You could be suffering from 'Hyperhidrosis' which is a disorder of excessive sweating occurring in 3% of the global population. Our patients find this is a socially embarrasing problem which interferes with their daily activities. We have treated many patients for this condition. Excessive sweating commonly affects the underarms, but can also affect the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
You don't have to suffer in silence this summer. If you think you might be suffering from this condition and conventional treatments such as antiperspirants haven't worked, and you do not relish surgery, you may find that you could be a good candidate for Botox® injections.
Many people are still not aware of the possibility of having underarm Botox® injections to successfully treat this condition. In order to assess your suitability for this treatment, you will need to have a full consultation to exclude other medical conditions which may have contributed to this condition.
The injections are quick and relatively painless, with results lasting from 6 – 9 months. The treatment works by blocking the nerves that supply the sweat glands, which then prevents the glands from producing sweat.
With this safe and quick treatment our patients have been delighted with the results as it leaves them sweat-free, and they no longer have to worry about feeling self conscious and go about their lives in a normal manner without a tell tale sign in sight.
If you would like to find out more about this treatment option please contact our reception team on 01753 646660 who would be very happy to help you.

It's not just big dogs that have problems due to their size, smaller dogs can too. From luxating patellas to collapsing tracheas, health issues can become serious fast.
Consider the case of Weasley the Pug living in Valhalla, NY who has Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome or breathing problems due to the shape of his nose. Brachycephalic dogs (those with the smooshed-in noses) often have issues and in Weasley's case, it added up to over $5,000 earlier this year.
Today, Dr. Rex Riggs talks about aspects to think about when considering very big dogs versus very small dogs. Dr. Rex Riggs is the owner of Best Friends Veterinary Hospital in Powell, Ohio. He is a veterinarian, and an Advisory Board member of Embrace Pet Insurance.
What kind of dog should I get? Should I get a purebred or one from the pound? Should I get a large or small dog? What do you think doc?? These are questions I hear everyday, and I like people asking them. You should put a lot of thought of just what type and size of dog you will get because... that decision will be with you for many, many years.
Continuing December's theme of dog and cat extremes, Maine Coon Embracer, Joan W. of La Crescenta, CA, tells us about life with her big cats, Main Coons.
Our Maine Coon experience began early one Friday morning, when a big kitten, probably 4 months old, forcibly shouldered his way through our kitchen door while my husband was trying to go out. Arms full, and trying to keep the door closed with one foot, Russell was yelling "Wait! Stop! Aargh!" when I ran in. I grabbed the filthy kitten, "unfolded" him and discovered he was white with round black polka dots. Since we did not want to add another cat to our household, I made arrangements at work to bring him in on Monday so we could find him a home. Later, we washed him and got his shots. My husband and I spent the rest of the weekend gardening.
Occasionally I am asked the following:
My pet is getting older. Will Embrace drop her or reduce her coverage to accident-only from accident and illness?
Nope. Nada. No way, Jose. Your Embrace coverage will stay the same as what you started with, regardless of your pet's age, as your policy renews. Even when your pet enters her golden years (let's say 65 years old is really 9 dog years), she will still be covered for the same accidents and illness coverage that she was signed on with a youngster.
How can Embrace do that? To account for the increasing risk associated with age, your pet's premium may go up about 8-10% yearly (this increase is separate from increases due to inflation); however, the age increases don't currently kick in until age 5 or so. It you want to offset some of your premium increase, you can certainly decrease your coverage over time to help reduce your policy cost.

Yellow Jacket Volleyball Clinches HCAC Postseason Berth
Defiance (15-10, 5-2 HCAC)
Anderson (9-16, 2-5 HCAC)
10/17/2012 | Anderson, IN | Attendance: 150

DEFIANCE, Ohio – The Defiance College volleyball team qualified for the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference postseason tournament for the second consecutive season on Wednesday evening with a straight-set victory over Anderson University. The win gives the Jackets a conference record of 5-2 and an overall record of 15-10.
The Purple and Gold entered the contest with a 4-2 conference mark, needing only one victory in its last three HCAC matches to seal the berth. The Ravens of Anderson came into the matchup fighting to keep their postseason aspirations alive with a record of 2-4 in the Heartland.
Both teams came out fighting in the opening set, as the squads were tied at 19-19 late in the first. The Yellow Jackets then won six of the final eight points to close out the set by a score of 25-21. Junior outside hitter Christa Seidenstricker paced the DC attack in the opener with five kills and four digs.
The first-set victory gave Defiance all the momentum for set number two, as the Jackets raced out to a 19-7 lead. The Purple and Gold went on to cruise to a 25-14 second-set win, giving the Yellow Jackets a 2-0 set lead. Junior Chelsea Ludeman led DC in the second stanza with five kills on only seven attempts for an attacking percentage of .714. Ludeman also added an ace and two digs to her impressive offensive numbers.
After being dominated in the second set, the Ravens dug in and refused to go down without a fight in the third frame. The teams traded blows throughout much of the set without either team being able to take control. With the match tied at 19-19, Defiance was able to win two-straight points to grab a 21-19 lead that it never relinquished. The Purple and Gold held on to win the third and final set by a score of 25-23.
Defiance's top attacking performer on the evening was Ludeman, who surpassed the 15-kill mark for the second consecutive match. The junior has now recorded 15 or more kills five times this season and has hit double-digit kill totals on 12 occasions. Ludeman also added two aces and two blocks in the match.
Other Yellow Jacket standouts were sophomores Bree Anderson and Alicia Kalik. Anderson totaled 13 kills in the contest, marking her third straight match with double-digit kill totals. Anderson has found her attacking prowess as of late, recording at least 10 kills in seven of her last nine matches.
Kalik finished the evening with 38 assists, the third highest total for Defiance in a three-set match this season. The 38 assist performance marks the eighth time the sophomore has averaged at least 10 assists per set in a match this season.
Four of the Jackets' five HCAC victories have come in straight-set fashion and the win over Anderson was the second time DC defeated the Ravens this season with the first win coming in the first match of the season on August 31. The Purple and Gold won the match by a set score of 3-1. The 3-0 victory over Anderson is the ninth shutout win of the season for Defiance.
The Yellow Jackets are back in action on Saturday, October 20, as Defiance travels to Cleveland for the team's final two non-conference matches of the season against Case Western Reserve and Muskingum. The first match against Case Western Reserve is scheduled to begin at noon followed by the match against Muskingum at 2:00 p.m.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra, Serge Koussevitzky conducting, came to town last night for the fourth concert of the season's Carnegie Hall evening series. The program was made up of Bach's Suite No. 2, in B minor, for flute and strings; Brahms's Fourth symphony, and as a novelty, at least for this city, Aaron Copland's "Symphonic Ode."

The triumph of Ashleigh and Pudsey in the Britain's Got Talent final has already got pet-owners across the nation trying to train up family pets as dancing partners. I have no particular desire to see this craze catch on, but I do have two dogs that have so far only cost me money. Could they possess hidden talent?
As far as I know, my dogs have only one trick between them: staring at my back while wearing expressions of foolish expectancy. If either of them could read a clock they would know it's neither time to eat nor time to go out, but they cannot. Initially I imagined that with two dogs in the house there would be a slightly increased chance that one of them might perform a trick by accident, but in practice they compete for my attention, then fight, then lose interest in me altogether. After a brief audition, I select the smaller of the two dogs, Nellie, as my partner.
I won't lie about my method: I use dog biscuits, and plenty of 'em.
Without the biscuits there would be no training, only truancy. This is because my first trick, nicked from Pudsey's Mission Impossible routine, is a little bit cruel: the shoulder carry. It's easy enough - once the dog is shoulder-borne, it's too frightened to jump off – but the fragile bond of trust is more or less destroyed. Subsequently Nellie will not walk through my legs, not even for a biscuit, not even for two. We won't be doing the Charleston any time soon at this rate.
I do, however, eventually get the dog to stand on its back legs and walk backwards. It can't do the spin, though; it just falls over. I say "Nice try!" but I think: idiot.
The rolling over is unsuccessful. The paws-on-feet back step is unsuccesful. The weaving crawl is unsuccessful, and humiliating to rehearse. A dog on two legs is impressive; a human on all fours, merely undignified.
We move to the see-saw ramp I've constructed in the garden from an old scaffolding plank. Coaxing the dog to the halfway point is no problem – a succession of biscuit fragments placed at intervals along the see-saw works perfectly. But once we reach the fulcrum and the back end of the plank begins to rise, the dog has a sort of freak out.
Instead of running down the ramp ahead, it turns around. When the plank tips back, the dog panics and leaps into my arms.
"Wrong," I say. "Very disappointing." We try a few more times, until the panicky leap becomes part of the routine. We split up shortly afterwards, citing creative differences.

WPB Condo Project Gets Preliminary "Yes"
A massive condominium construction project that would transform the West Palm Beach waterfront is one step closer to reality.
City commissioners gave preliminary approval Monday night to change zoning and land use maps in order for a 25 story luxury condo to be built on the current property of the Chapel By The Lake. The chapel on South Flagler Drive was built in 1963.
In two weeks, commissioners will revisit the issue and will have the option of giving final approval to developers.

It appears the U.S. Justice Department has some solid evidence against companies including Apple, Google, Adobe, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and Intel. TechCrunch obtained a document from the DOJ that is now posted to Scribd. Among the pieces of evidence, include:
The DOJ settled with the six companies, but a class action lawsuit is pending. The complaint regards entering into non-poach and no bidding war agreements. The above mentioned companies allegedly lowered employee compensation artificially while hindering mobility.
The plaintiffs seek damages for any salaried employee who worked for one of the defendants during a 4-year period in the late 2000s. That means a lot of Silicon Valley tech workers could receive a payout if the defendants lose or settle the case. The civil case will be heard by Judge Koh in San Jose starting January 26th, 2011
The defendants, including Apple, asked the case to be dismissed, stating that the DOJ found "no overarching conspiracy" and that these bilateral agreements were separate. expand full story

Yes, there has just been a major change and you're not alone, a lot of people have experienced big changes in their rankings this month. There are a lot of opinions, but of course no one but Google knows exactly what changes have been made. We've got a lot of discussions going on about it now, so just go through this forum and you'll find many posts about it.
It's not impossible that there will be adjustments next update, so while this is a good time to go through our sites to see what can be changed or improved, it's probably wise not to worry too much until after the next update.
