Melody gently knocked upon the double doors that led to the jet twin's quarters.
Just earlier they discovered where their origins came from. Cadavers. They were cadavers. The Elite Guard didn't want to use any of their soldiers so they used mechs' offline and dead chassis's to experiment on.
Melody and Jazz were looking for them because the couple had promised to take out the twins to go see a program at a nearby entertainment center. There was some sort of a concert, and Melody's sweet-spark was friends with the backstage hands.
Jetfire and Jetstorm were ecstatic and kept talking Sentinel's audios off, and anyone they were friends with, about it.
A few hours before they had to leave though, the twins received a package. No name or any indication of where it came from. When they opened it, and Melody swore, their expressions were akin to one being given a rotten energon cube.
Melody too learned of their true origins today. It was via the expletives leaving the two young mechs' mouths as they left the Scientific Wing of the Elite Guard.
They had locked themselves into their shared room and haven't been out since. No other tactic could get them talking, and Sentinel had to call in reinforcements.
This soon led Melody to this spot.
"Jetfire?" She knocked once. No response. "Jetstorm?" She knocked twice. "C'mon mechs, can we talk? It's just me. No one else."
She poked her helm around the corner and signaled Sentinel Prime-acting-Magnus to have the small platoon of mechs next to him to back off.
Primus, it was a little much. Sentinel reasoned that it was just in case the twins went berserk. Melody was adamant that the mechs wouldn't do such a thing.
"Ok, but if they do, it's on your helm, Melody," Sentinel retorted.
Melody knocked three more times, and finally, someone moved within the room.
"Miss Melody?" His voice was muffled, but the femme knew it was Jetstorm.
"Yeah Stormy?" Melody pressed herself closer to the door. She placed one audio on the steel door, listening.
"Is just you?" Jetfire's voice soon chimed in.
"Mmm-hmm, just me. Jazz is holding off Sentinel. Can I come in, boys?" Melody asked.
She stepped back as the doors in front of her slid away. She quickly stepped in, and the doors cycled shut behind her.
The lights within the room were very dim. They were hardly on at all, if one could call the brightness of the area that.
"Umm, lights at thirty percent," Melody stated. The lights brightened per her instructions. Now, the femme could see the state of the room.
The Elite Guard had very high standard of having a living quarters within Metroplex. At the moment, if inspector came in right then, the twins would get a D+, the plus being that it was just half the room as immaculate. The other half was in a state of disarray.
The twins had moved a couch and a whole stack of blankets and pillows to the far side of the room. As far as Melody could tell it was reminiscent of a little fort turned into a nest.
When Jetfire and Jetstorm sought out comfort, especially from each other, they made the nest of soft materials and lie in it, huddling together.
That was where they were at the moment.
Both of them lied down on the floor. With his back to her, Jetfire curled up within Jetstorm's arms. Seeing her enter, the blue twin looked up at Melody.
The elder Cybertronian felt her spark break a bit, seeing the two in their state.
"Hey," Melody murmured softly, her voice tender. "Can I sit next to you two?"
Jetstorm nodded and motioned her to come over. Melody made it to the other side of the room in a few easy strides.
The room was bigger than hers and Jazz's suite, but she made haste to get next to the younglings.
The next thing she knew, Jetfire rolled himself over and held his arms out to her, wanting to be held.
Melody soon had a ghost of a smile on her face-plates. Even if they were in the Guard now, they were still kids.
Melody immediately scooped Jetfire up in her arms. Jetstorm sat up promptly, leaning the back of his helm to the wall behind him.
"Rough solar cycle?" she questioned quietly.
The twins nodded, their mood melancholy.
"It not by accident they find us, was it?" Jetstorm murmured. He pulled his legs to his chest, resting his chin atop his knee-caps.
"We is oil refinery mechs before big kaboom," Jetfire murmured. Melody looked at the younger twin in sympathy. She rubbed Jetfire's helm as he settled his helm lean on her lap. The amber opticed mech blinked sullenly, a frown creasing his expression.
"Miss Melody?" the black and white looked up to Jetstorm, who stared at her.
"Yeah?" Melody straightened her seating position. "Go on Jetstorm, no need to be scared." Melody couldn't believe the expression on Jetstorm's face. She didn't know what it meant but it didn't look right on the usually jubilant mech.
"You knowing we always want to be in Elite Guard," Jetstorm began, but paused, unsure to continue. When Melody nodded for him to go on, he let out a drawn out sigh. "We didn't ask to be torn apart and put back together again …"
"Not at all," Jetfire sniffed. Melody's attention soon was drawn to the youngling beside her. He was shivering. "We are intended to be weapon, as Safeguard …"
"Ok, but let me tell you two something right now," Melody stated. Her tone had the twins staring at her again, a bit curious in what she had to say.
She paused, and said, "You two are more than what the Elite Guard wants you to be. Now, where you came from doesn't change the fact that you two are the youngest mechs to ever be in the history of the Guard, and pass every test in record time."
"But you still mad about it," Jetstorm pointed out.
Melody had to admit to that. Her belief that they were too young was something she'd never back down from …
"But that doesn't mean I'm not proud of you mechs. Yeah, I can be a silly, worrying mess at times," she nodded in agreement, "but you two just remind me of someone I once knew, a long time ago …"
The three remained quiet for a while.
"You two feeling better?" Melody murmured. She beckoned Jetstorm to join in on the cuddle pile. Jetstorm had kept himself in the same spot since Melody had gone into the room.
She received a private comm., and she answered it.
/How they doing in there?/ Jazz asked.
/Still down a bit, but tell Sentinel to call off the extra mechs! They aren't Decepticons!/ Melody replied. The femme got a bit heated, but she knew Jazz would understand.
/Loud and clear sweet-spark. Take as long as you need./
He soon hung up, and Melody turned her attention back to the twins nestled on either side of her.
"You two want me to stay or you two gonna be fine by yourselves?" Melody inquired.
They answered by snuggling closer to the femme.
She didn't argue.

Cohen's painful encounter with bleaching process
However, things took a turn for worse when the bleaching gave him a burning rash , which needed emergency treatment. "Sacha is committed to as much realism as he can muster in his films. Gay. He"d heard that all-over hairlessness is a popular trend in the gay community, so he thought he"d bleach all his hair so it looked invisible," The Sun quoted a source as saying.
"But it quickly turned into a disaster. Shortly after having the procedure done he felt a burning sensation and it grew steadily worse. He had a bad allergic reaction to hydrogen peroxide, which is a strong bleaching agent. It was so severe around a certain part of his anatomy that he couldn"t sit down for three days," the source added.
Baron then met doctors and got rid of the rash within a few days. However, his crew members could not help but laugh, as Baron could not even sit for three days due to which the shooting was delayed. "He had to make an emergency appointment with the doctors, who gave him some medication to counter the irritation," the source said.
"Crew members found the whole incident hilarious and it slowed down filming for a bit, but Sacha soon got over the discomfort. He has suffered no long-lasting ill effects," the source added.
Bruno is due to hit cinemas on July 10.

I am a bit confused about the lense shift. Right now I have a Panny AE700U projecting on a 120" screen from 22' away horizontally on center and vertically even with the top edge of the screen. I would like to replace it with this AR100U model but the vertical lense shift says 15%. Does that mean it can only be 15% above/below the vert center line? Will this work for my set up? Thanks.

Prologue (edited) page 3Mature
Rising from her place on the green silk chevron patterned chair, Vanessa began stalking towards the basement. "Silly mutt... You fell for it yet again!" she muttered under her breath as she reached the stairs leading down to the basement. Descending into the darkness, she mentally counted the stairs to prevent herself from tripping. Reaching the bottom, she reached to her right and flipped the light switch, looking around at the four-dog, two-cat kennel. Isabelle was nowhere in sight. "What the fuck!" Vanessa groaned angrily. Practically running up the stairs, she burst into the hallway.
"So you want to play a game of hide and seek I see!" she hollered. "Well you get your wish." Hearing the telltale click of nails on tile, she whirled around. Nothing. Damn. "I'll only play on one condition though. You have to give me my socks! No hiding them somewhere in the house!" she told the hallway. She knew Isabelle was listening though, because she could hear a faint chuffing sound. Isabelle's doggy laughter. Vanessa tromped off with an angry look on her face, heels clicking sharply. Finding the breaker box, she wrenched the heavy door open and hit the red lockdown button that was underneath the breaker for the kitchen. Instantly, two-ply sheets of steel reinforced metal began lowering, covering every window and door that led outside the storybook worthy mansion, including all of Isabelle's doggy doors.
"Ready or not here I come!" Vanessa called, leaving the breaker box to search the parts of the house Isabelle had access to.

All reader reviews by Tom
My wife and I met another couple here for dinner not long ago. We had some nice starters (although we suspected the "burrata" was actually "mozzarella di buffala") and some very tasty pasta. Desserts were good. Three of four of us were Romans (a qualification to judge the food properly?) and we left satisfied, looking forward to return. I say give this place a try. Seems like honest, real Italian food.

Development at the expense of heritage loss can never be appreciated. Historical bodies, even if on the verge of crumbles, shouldn't be bulldozed. The country's such treasures significant of pre-colonial and colonial era should be preserved and not wrecked in the guise of development. My recent tour to Puri, where I witnessed the revamp of centuries-old giant chariot-'Konark', which is almost on the verge of collapsing into pieces, I, being culture lover, was at ease to see such efforts by Odhisa govt.
In the contrary, the successive governments in the state of Bihar had shown no interest in heritage protection and sustenance and had rather encouraged the devastation of its ancient significant structures. The recent buzz from Bihar is the state government's content and sanction to knock out the Dutch-made Patna Collectorate building and promote the construction of high-reaching administrative buildings.
This is not much surprising all though, for Bihar previously too had sanctioned the demolition of historic Dak Bungalow, Bankipore Central Jail and a majestic tonga stand at Patna junction. And one more addition to the losses would be the Collectorate building.
These old structures are the endowments from British and Mughal period. A thorough and ginormous range of historical details were scooped out while peering keenly at such buildings. The ones which acquainted us to our History can't be pulled out to develop our future. Development doesn't imply such unfair acts.

Tuesday, April 07, 2009 Posted by Shattered Paradigm
On his website, Chopra expounded on some of the ideas that he expressed during a debate on Satan that he participated in recently on ABC's Nightline. Chopra believes that we are headed for a global society, and that in such a society the concept of "pure evil" will not be needed:
The future appears to be global, and if we want to thrive there, the concept of "pure evil" has to be discarded.
Chopra also has no love lost for those who still hold to traditional religious beliefs about Satan. In fact, it is really hard to misinterpret this barb aimed squarely at fundamentalist Christians:
...it's hard to remember a time when educated, free-thinking people reserved at least a tiny, secret corner where belief in Satan — or pure evil — resided.
So anyone who believes in Satan is a brain-washed idiot? Apparently so. According to Chopra, those who are enlightened are moving towards a more "positive" form of spirituality:
...a positive kind of spirituality has arisen that doesn't need Satan.
So what does Chopra think of all those people who claim that they have seen Satan or have seen a demon or who have had a close encounter with hell? Apparently those people "sadden" him, but he does not give any evidence that their experiences are not real:
I came away from the debate saddened by the testimonials from fervent believers who claimed to have met the Devil personally or to have barely escaped the fires of damnation.
So does Satan actually exist?
The Bible says that he does.
At the very beginning of the Bible he is there tempting Adam and Eve, and at the end of the Bible he is there being thrown into the lake of fire for his rebellion against God.
Jesus spoke about Satan quite a bit in the four gospels. For example, in John 8:44, Jesus made it quite clear how He feels about Satan:
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
So is Satan real?
Well, either Satan is real or Jesus is a liar.
You pick what you want to believe.
I believe that God does exist and that the Bible is true.
Why do I believe that?
Because that is what the evidence overwhelmingly supports.
If you do not know about the mountain of evidence for Christianity, then I would recommend that you check out this article:
God is very real, and if you do not know Him yet, then it is my hope that you will find Him today.

Ami's house
~Detective Triop~
I stood outside of the old door, a gun in my hand, several others by my side and around the sides and backs of the house. The outside of the house had mould trailing up the walls and smelt of old rotten feet. The windows had brown or very very dark red marks on them. I knew what that was.
"Ami, your under arrest for attempted murder, please come out with your hands up!" I shouted loudly, banging on the door. Silence. "Ami I'll give you one last shot to come out of the house, it is surrounded, we all have weapons, one last chance!" I shouted again. Silence.
"She isn't in!Come on!" Detective inspector Markus whispered to me. I kicked down the door fierce-fully and began to search around the house, others doing the same obediantley. I walked into the kitchen, food was splattered on the walls and floor and dark red marks were smeared in the sink and windows. It smelt of dead bodies.
I silently walked towards the bathroom, the door was closed and under the fog of the door I saw someone sitting down on the toilet, I placed my ear to the door and heard someone, a girl, sobbing quietly. I knocked to see if someone was in there, alive, others gathered.
"Hello? This is Detective Triop, is anyone in there?" I called and heard a muffled screaming. I banged open the door to find a girl, she was taped to the toilet, the back of her head bright red, blood smeared around her face. She was crying in pain but silently because tape was over her mouth. Her bones looked broken and her body was bruised. Alice the train-e detective took out her walky-talky.
"We're going to need an ambulance at North street, number 8 house please. Thank-you." She said into it, walking outside and letting me deal with it.
"Right, I'm Detective Triop, I'm 'gonna get you out and we'll have to ask you some questions is that ok?" She nodded, tears and pain pearcing her face.
We gently pulled off her mouth tape and started to get rid of the rest while doctors and nurses held her head and nursed her cuts. When she was in her bed in the ambulance a porter walked over to me. "What's going on then i've never seen so much commotion in 3 years!" He whispered to me.
"I'm sorry, we arn't allowed to give any personal information to the public unless they were involved, I suggest you get back in the ambulance sir." I said firmly, walking over and sitting in the ambuance, alice beside me with a notepad and Detective Makus oppisite me.
"Could you tell me your name please miss?" Alice asked.
"My name is Izzy, Isabella Jones," She croaked.
"Right could you tell me why you were in Ami's house please?"
"She was my best friend, she wanted me to come over to her house so we could watch a movie, she drove me home and she got n and took out a knife, I didn't know why she was doing this, she said she was angry at her boyfriend or something..." She whispered crying.
"Don't cry love, it's crucial that you tell us the truth, what did she say about her boyfriend?" Alice asked, soothing her.
"She said that her boyfriend cheated on her, and that she would get back at Libby, who's the girl, she said she loved him so much. She said she was really angry and she wanted to kill him, then she took out a gun and knocked me out. The next thing I new I was in the bathroom, injuries, bruises, everything. That's all I can remember, oh, and she said she isn't going to stop until she kills Libby."

FILE - In this May 17, 2011, file photo, a man walks near the sign at the entrance to the Rikers Island jail in New York. Jerome Murdough, a 56-year-old mentally ill inmate at Rikers Island jail, "baked" to death in his overheated cell during one of the coldest recorded winters in city history. The mother of a mentally ill, homeless veteran who was found dead in a one-hundred-degree New York City jail cell plans to file a $25 million wrongful death lawsuit. Family attorney Derek Sells says he'll ask the city to preserve all communications and 911 recordings regarding Jerome Murdough's death on Rikers Island at a press conference Friday May 16, 2014. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File)
NEW YORK — The mother of a mentally ill, homeless veteran who was found dead in a 100-degree New York City jail cell that overheated due to an equipment malfunction in February plans to file a $25 million wrongful death lawsuit against the city.
Alma Murdough's attorney, Derek Sells, said he will also ask the city to preserve all communications and 911 recordings regarding former Marine Jerome Murdough's death on Rikers Island. Sells scheduled a news conference for later today.
He filed a notice of claim, the first procedural step necessary for a civil suit against the city, with the comptroller's office on April 30 on behalf of the inmate's 75-year-old mother. In it, he writes that the 56-year-old Murdough's death was caused by carelessness and negligence by Department of Correction employees.
Prosecutors in the Bronx are investigating the death.
"This case involves a tragic incident and we will review the lawsuit and respond accordingly," said Nick Paolucci, a spokesman for the city's law department.
Corrections officials have declined to comment, citing the ongoing criminal investigation.
The Associated Press first reported in March on suspicions about Murdough's cause of death. One official who spoke at the time on the condition of anonymity described him as having "basically baked to death."
Citing a preliminary DOC investigation, court documents filed last month in a separate federal court case show that Murdough's internal body temperature, taken nearly four hours after he was discovered unresponsive in his cell in the early hours of Feb. 15, was 103 degrees. It said the cell was 101 degrees. Murdough was slumped at the edge of the foot of his bed with "a pool of vomit and blood on the floor," the documents said.
A spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office says the exact cause and manner of Murdough's death have not yet been determined, pending further studies. But the court documents show the medical examiner investigator assigned to Murdough's case preliminarily found he likely died of hyperthermia.
Murdough was on psychotropic medication at the time of his death, which experts say can make people sensitive to heat. DOC officials have said he was left unattended for hours.
Murdough was arrested Feb. 7 on a misdemeanor trespassing charge for sleeping in an enclosed stairwell on the roof of a Harlem public housing building and was sent to Rikers Island after being unable to make $2,500 bail, according to court records.

Is a £10 Minimum Wage on the Horizon?
Talk about a "real Living Wage" is a regular occurrence in most developed nations. Often, questions regarding the lifestyle the minimum wage should support are common. Additionally, whether these jobs are intended to support a person throughout their adulthood is often considered. Some see minimum wage positions as stepping stones, a way to reach higher earnings in the future. Others believe that these jobs have long-term career potential.
Currently, the government plan is to raise wages up to £9 per hour by the year 2020. However, shadow chancellor John McDonnell expressed an interest more than just increasing the minimum wage. And, he believes it should move up to £10 per hour.
At this time, many workers find prevailing wages challenging to live on. Additionally, the cost of living outpaces income increases. The goal of a £10 minimum wage is to let the most vulnerable in the country manage rising costs effectively. Specifically, the costs of rent, regular bills, and life's other essentials.
Support for the Increase
Aside from the open support by Mr. McDonnell, most labour unions are supportive of the recommendation. The increase allows more workers to properly maintain their financial lives. If wages don't increased to compensate, the lower paid workers may simply be overwhelmed by their financial obligations.
Concerns About the Increase
Many businesses express concerns about the potential increase. Small businesses may have a particularly difficult time adjusting to higher wage requirements, as they tend to have less room in their operating budgets. The concern is that a requirement change of this nature could lead to small businesses releasing employees, favouring automation over employees, and even outsourcing certain tasks.
Understanding the Costs
An increase of £1 or £2 per hour doesn't sound very dramatic, unless it is examined in a larger sense. A £10 minimum wage would result in the lowest paid being eligible for an annual salary of £19,250. Though, the costs for the employer associated with the change would rise to £23,000. And, that rise in cost is for each employee who received increased wages.
While that sounds positive to anyone currently working for minimum wage, there is risk. For example, the fear that the increase would eliminate certain entry-level jobs from the market is real. Further, younger workers and apprentices may have few options. Additionally, those with limited work history or skills may also suffer.
Understanding the Goal
Mr. McDonnell's plan focuses on the idea of having wages more accurately reflect the current strength of the economy. Under this plan, the minimum wage increases accurately reflect increases in other areas of the job market. Essentially, the minimum wage would be adjusted to keep pace with wage shifts in other positions, better aligning those workers' wages with the cost of living.
Current National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage
As of 2016, the National Living Wage, available to those age 25 and older, is £7.20 per hour. For those certain apprentices who are eligible for the lowest wages, the current rate is £3.30 per hour.

The Judge Parent Review
With a somewhat unexpected resolution, events ensue that eventually instill a sincere paradigm shift within the pompous protagonist while delivering a satisfying ending to the patient audience.
Movie Review
There are a lot of dislikable traits surrounding the tough skinned protagonist in The Judge. Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.) is a hardened, high priced lawyer who takes pride in defending criminals he knows are guilty. "Innocent people can't afford me," he quips after a prosecuting attorney makes some critical remarks in the men's restroom. For good measure Hank urinates on him as well.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
After this opening scene it's hard to imagine more reasons to boot him off your Facebook friends list, yet as this story unfolds we discover no end to his nastiness: He has been a rotten father to his daughter (Emma Tremblay). He has ignored his wife (Sarah Lancaster). And before the movie ends he will have a make out session with a woman half his age (Leighton Meester) only to discover her mother (Vera Farmiga) is an old high school girlfriend. So he makes out with her as well. And remember, he's still not divorced.
Still, the real reason you paid to see this movie, and may perhaps leave the theater happy you did, is for the experience of watching Hank interact with his estranged father (Robert Duvall) and two brothers (Vincent D'Onofrio and Jeremy Strong).
It is his mother's funeral that brings Hank back to his hometown, where his father, Judge Joseph Palmer, has occupied the revered seat in the local courthouse for decades. He's hoping to pay his respects and hop on a plane, but his intended short visit gets delayed when his father unexpectedly becomes a suspect in a murder investigation. The unforeseen circumstance offers the pompous big city lawyer an opportunity to both display his competence in the courtroom and validate himself in the eyes of his parent.
Not surprisingly, Dad isn't so sure about Hank's insistence on being the defending counsel until necessity forces the situation. The painful process of trying to form a working relationship with his son, while at the same time dealing with his own unrecognized and undisclosed limitations of aging, results in many scenes of confrontation peppered with over two-dozen sexual expletives and at least as many scatological, religious and crude terms.
In addition to profanity, other content concerns include the two brief sexual situations (in which characters are fully clothed), the use of alcohol and discussion of alcoholism. In another scene, a character struggling with a disease and problematic bowel functions is seen naked (without any explicit detail). Obviously not suitable for children, these warnings may be a moot issue because this movie is targeting middle-aged viewers and likely won't appeal to teens.
In the heat of the battle, relationships are somewhat mended and characters are compelled to face unresolved difficulties in their lives. With a somewhat unexpected resolution, circumstances ensue that eventually instill a sincere paradigm shift within Hank, while delivering a satisfying ending to the patient audience.Directed by David Dobkin. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga. Running time: 141 minutes. Theatrical release October 10, 2014. Updated May 19, 2016

There are many reasons why relationships become estranged. Is it possible to receive peace from a family conflict without confronting the situation with the other party involved? Is it important to try to fix such issues?
How does aging change our outlook on life? Do some problems grow less important as years pass? Or are they more likely to become a greater concern? How have you worked to resolve conflicts with family and friends?
Is it wrong to defend someone in a court of law whom you know is guilty? Are there different degrees of guilt? Why is providing a defense lawyer to a guilty party a necessary part of our justice system?

BeschreibungOLENKA, the daughter of the retired collegiate assessor, Plemyanniakov, was sitting in her back porch, lost in thought. It was hot, the flies were persistent and teasing, and it was pleasant to reflect that it would soon be evening. Dark rainclouds were gathering from the east, and bringing from time to time a breath of moisture in the air. Kukin, who was the manager of an open-air theatre called the Tivoli, and who lived in the lodge, was standing in the middle of the garden looking at the sky. "Again!" he observed despairingly. "It's going to rain again! Rain every day, as though to spite me. I might as well hang myself! It's ruin! Fearful losses every day."

4 Refugios Race – 3/1/15
By Amy Sproston
Perhaps there are races in the US like 4Refugios Nonstop (The Rut and Speedgoat 50K are probably most similar, but both are 6 miles longer with slightly less vertical), but I've certainly never done them. 4Refugios made every "technical" trail race I've ever done seem tame in comparison. The race is advertised as 42 Km (26 miles) with 3500 meters of elevation gain (11,500 feet) and 3700 meters of descent (12,100 feet). When you factor in that the first 3 and last 3 miles are relatively mild and don't go up or down that much, it leaves most of that ascent and descent crammed within the middle 20 miles, which makes the average 15% uphill grade and 18% downhill grade even steeper. If you like to bomb wildly down steep insanely technical descents, or scramble up slippery talus slopes at 60% grade then this is the course for you. Add it to your bucket list. Or, if you'd like to be surrounded by grandeur so amazing that it makes you forget that you don't like really steep insanely technical slopes, then this might also be the course for you. 4Refugios is tough, but so beautiful you won't regret that face plant down the steep scree field. And, you'll be wearing a helmet, so at least you won't damage your head if you do fall.
4Refugios is challenging not just because of the grade, but the technical nature of the trail, many parts of which are hard to distinguish as a true trail, but rather an exercise in heading in the direction of red painted dots which blaze the way over talus-covered passes. An indication of how poorly I followed this "trail" would be that my Garmin registered 29 miles for the 26 mile course. The shortest point between 2 red dots is indeed a straight line, but this was for me, easier said than done. I also spent some time off course on top of La Navidad, which probably added on a mile, and I potentially took a slightly longer route to the finish, as I passed the same person twice during the final 4 miles, flying by each time, the second time 20 minutes after I passed her the first time. So, my mileage totals were potentially wonky for more reasons than my inability to hit the tangents.
2015 was the 10th year of 4 Refugios, but only the 2nd year of the version of the race that I was entered in, 4 Refugios Nonstop. 3 races happen during the weekend, 2 Refugios on Saturday, 4 Refugios Classico on Saturday and Sunday (2 Refugios each day), and then the 4 Refugios Nonstop on Sunday. A refugio is basically a mountain hut that provides lodging and meals to backpackers/climbers/skiers. The race passes by 4 scenic mountain huts, which double as aid stations. The event is capped at around 600 runners in the 3 events, somewhat equally distributed among the 3 races. Unique to this race is the requirement to wear a helmet the entire race and carry a harness and 2 locking carabiners to clip onto a fixed line during one of the 2 "tiempo muertos". The required gear includes an additional long list of items including a somewhat extensive medical kit and enough layers to keep you warm were you to get stranded/injured along the way, or survive in the case of inclement weather. The "tiempo muertos" or dead times are designed such that during zones that are particularly tricky/dangerous were you to try to race through them, you've got sufficient time to pass carefully before "racing" on. There's one 30 minute dead time on the climb up out of the 2nd refugio (Jakob) where you're required to clip onto a fixed line and it's a one-at-a-time deal. Another 40 minute dead time starts the final descent, to encourage folks to not kill themselves getting down to the last refugio (Lopez) where there's someone in charge of telling you when your 40 minutes is up and you can start running again (based on the time that was sharpied onto your race bib at the pass above).
A short summary of my race: I was with the women that finished 1-3 (all previous winners of various versions of past editions of the race) on top of La Navidad (on the elevation profile, it's what looks like the middle high point), where we got somewhat lost, and struggled for 10 minutes or so to find where the trail descended off the side. It was clouded in up top, and getting cold, so I stopped to take a jacket out of my pack right about the time the group (including several guys) found the trail, and everyone took off down the side of a very steep slope. By the time I got my pack back on, they were already disappearing into the distance, and I stood there momentarily jaw dropped watching them fly down the very technical descent. This descent was my low point in the race, as I couldn't stay on trail, and struggled to try to run over terrain I wasn't comfortable moving fast on. Losing the group so quickly left me deflated. The trail eventually became one with a river that descended down the valley and at times was the river, and at other times skirted along the sides. At one point I came to a waterfall, which seemed unlikely to be the trail, but not impossible based on the trail to this point. About halfway down the waterfall I came to a point where I would have had to have made a bit of a jump so stopped to reassess the situation. I could jump down the falls, and perhaps pummel myself on the rocks below (wasn't that far, but would have hurt), or turn around and climb back up and go back to find the trail. As I sat there, I looked up above and could see the trail off to the side of the river on the opposite side, so realized I needed to back track. It was during this descent that I really lost any competitive drive I'd had, and also realized I just didn't have the technical skills and/or confidence to try to keep up with the women in front who were able to push the pace over terrain that I would prefer to butt-scoot across.
Visualization can be a strong tool, those in the sports psychology world say, but when I visualize myself running down a steep rocky slope, it's never a pretty picture. It starts out OK, but then I always catch my toe and skid to a halt on my face. Lucky for me, I only had one real fall, which cut up my hand a bit and the side of my thigh. My lack of confidence perhaps slowed me on the descents, but looking back, spending extra time on the course was not all bad, as it was unforgettably gorgeous from the minute the sun came up. I don't regret stopping to snap a few photos, and only wish I'd captured a few more at the hard-to-describe places. But being hard to describe, they were also tricky, and I was more focused on surviving them.
Going in, I knew that the race would not play to my strengths–more runnable courses are my strength, but despite that, courses like 4Refugios are more intriguing to me, and by continuing to run technical mountain races I hope to continue to improve at them. The race distance was also fairly short. Time-wise, no–I've finished 100Ks faster than I "ran" these 42K, but upon finishing I felt I hadn't paced myself properly as I could have kept going for another few hours, held back more by crappy technique than fitness. Not the feeling you want to have at the end of a race. I wound up 4th in 9:47, a long ways off of the top 3 who came in fairly close together with Claudia Veronica Ramirez winning in 9:08, Sonia Boretsky in 9:11, and Lau Lucero in 9:22. Claudia won last year's Clasico version, Sonia has won the Clasico 4 times in the past, and Lau won last year's Nonstop in 9:40, which, without any other reference, was roughly the time I was shooting for, although I also hoped to be competitive. This is a race that I'd love to do again, not necessarily because I feel like I'd be any faster, but just that it was such a cool experience. The 3 local talents definitely showed the visitor who is top on these trails. I'd love to learn some descending tips from these ladies; they were fun to watch bomb downhill.
At times, such as the descent off of La Navidad, I got frustrated with how timidly I was approaching the race, but then would look up at the beauty around me, and acknowledge just how fortunate I am to have had the opportunities that I've had, and the good health to participate in events like these. Out there on course, it was easy to put myself back in a happy place by simply looking at the immense beauty surrounding me. So many highlights, including the reflection on the lake by Refugio Frey, the turquoise mountain lakes looking down from the first Tiempo Muerto, the views both arriving in and leaving Laguna Negra, the complete shock at looking up at Lopez and realizing we literally were going straight up that thing, and then the relief of coming down the other side in a tiempo muerto, and mainly on my butt.
One lesson learned if I were to do this again (and for UTMB later this year), would be to pack more carefully–I felt like I was carrying a ton of bricks, and others seemed to have better thought out the gear requirements and were carrying packs half my size. When you are doing that much climbing, a heavy load feels like a really heavy load. I was happy to finish with minimal damage: no blisters, no hot spots, all my toenails, my quads intact, and all fingers unbroken.
Bariloche was a place I visited back in 2003, and it left a lasting impression back then. During the course of the week, I'd get to a place and have one of those deja vu moments, and realize I'd been there before, like Refugio Frey. In returning to them again 12 years later I couldn't help but reflect about who I was then versus who I am now and the adventures I've had in between. Kind of like the experience of the entire 4Refugios course—you finish not quite the same person at the end as the one who began it, but overall better for the experience.
4 Refugios was a memorable race experience, and I feel very fortunate and thankful to my sponsors, for allowing me the opportunity to travel down to Bariloche to participate. Many thanks to Mountain Hardwear Argentina for extending the invitation and for providing great support while I was down there. Petzl was also a huge help in providing me with a helmet, harness and new Nao light for the race–if I were to ever choose to run in a helmet again, the Petzl Sirocco is the one I would choose as it's light as a feather. In the meantime, having some basic gear (helmet and super lightweight harness) and living next to Smith Rock has motivated me to climb again after a 20 year break. I'm heading out for my second time next weekend. Also, the organization that puts the race on, led by Martin "Cepi" Raffo, with a lot of assistance by Club Andino Bariloche, is top notch. Admittedly, some of the volunteer posts were downright dreamy (albeit a bit cold, windy, and exposed), as you'd run into volunteers standing in the middle of the most spectacular vistas. Many thanks to Cepi and all of the volunteers. 4Refugios is truly a unique event for its difficulty, design, and above all, for its beauty. If you have a bucket list, the desire and means to experience the beauty of Patagonia, and you like technical mountain trail scrambling, then 4Refugios should be on that list!
Words don't really do the course justice, so some photos to fill in the gaps. Luckily I had the chance to be down there for an entire week, so many of these pictures from the course (or near the course) were from the days prior leading up to the race.

A number of changes have forced me to contribute less---among them graduation ("Doctor Spencer," now!) and a move to Utah. And I'll now actually be signing off from the blog entirely. I'd like to make one last contribution before doing so, and that in form of a review. A few days ago, I had the opportunity to attend the press conference held in connection with the release of the newest volumes of the Joseph Smith … [Read more...]
A Review and a Farewell: Of Manuscripts and Seer Stones
"The Prophecy of This Book"
Believers in the Book of Mormon are inevitably acquainted with Revelation 22:18-19:For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.For as long as … [Read more...]
Joseph Smith Papers: Documents Volume 3
A couple of weeks ago, I participated---by Skype---in the launch event for the newest Documents volume of the celebrated Joseph Smith Papers Project. I assume the project needs no introduction at this point, having already published more than a half-dozen volumes. The installment I'll review here is already the third published volume in the Documents series (though note that seven or more volumes are projected in this series!). I'll just say a bit about this volume, and perhaps about the … [Read more...]
What Is a "Mormon" Reading of Scripture? Thoughts on Michael Austin's "Re-reading Job"
Every four years, every Sunday School in the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints turns its attention to the Old Testament. Only a single lesson over the course of that year is dedicated to Job, of which biblical book Victor Hugo said the following: "Tomorrow, if all literature was to be destroyed and it was left to me to retain one work only, I should save Job." Forty minutes every four years---that's not even enough time to get Latter-day Saints interested in Job, let alone … [Read more...]
In Good Conscience…
Over the past six years or so, I've watched a number of my friends and acquaintances---and one family member---leave The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I've heard many of them (but by no means all of them) say something like the following when explaining or defending their decision to leave: "I can't in good conscience (variant: in good faith) remain a member of the Church." Often (but by no means always), this formula appears in the course of expressing a set of relatively traditio … [Read more...]
On Translation Theories and the Interpretation of the Book of Mormon
Since Blake Ostler's landmark article appeared in Dialogue in 1987, there's been something of a trend among believing Mormon intellectuals. Increasingly, the tendency is to account for the English text of the Book of Mormon by positing a kind of weave of several agents operative in the production of the Book of Mormon---one of them divine (God, in some form), one of them human but ancient (the original authors of the book), and one of them human but modern (Joseph Smith). The most elaborate … [Read more...]
Emma, My Daughter in Zion: A Preliminary Study of D&C 25, Part 2
In the preceding post (part 1), I work through a set of exegetical preliminaries to any theological engagement with D&C 25, the revelation to Emma Smith. I take as my task now to begin addressing the revelation at that more interpretive level. I'll give my attention to three isolable themes in particular in the course of this post, each with clear implications for feminist interests. … [Read more...]
Emma, My Daughter in Zion: A Preliminary Study of D&C 25, Part 1
This and the post following it (part 2) are pieces I wrote a few years ago as a guest blogger at another Mormon-themed blog. I've reworked them a bit, but I've largely left them as I originally wrote them. I think they're worth a revisit now for a host of (largely obvious) reasons I won't go into. I'll say that my having written them in the first place and my posting them now shouldn't be construed as either supportive or critical of any positions being taken on relevant issues. My aim in these … [Read more...]

NASBA (molecular biology)
Nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA) is a method in molecular biology which is used to amplify RNA sequences.
NASBA was developed by J Compton in 1991, who defined it as "a primer-dependent technology that can be used for the continuous amplification of nucleic acids in a single mixture at one temperature".[1]
Immediately after the invention of NASBA it was used for the rapid diagnosis and quantification of HIV-1 in patient sera.[2]
Although RNA can also be amplified by PCR using a reverse transcriptase (in order to synthesize a complementary DNA strand as a template), NASBA's main advantage is that it works at isothermic conditions – usually at a constant temperature of 41 °C.
NASBA has been introduced into medical diagnostics, where it has been shown to give quicker results than PCR, and it can also be more sensitive.[3]
Explained briefly, NASBA works as follows:
- RNA template is given to the reaction mixture, the first primer attaches to its complementary site at the 3' end of the template.
- Reverse transcriptase synthesizes the opposite, complementary DNA strand.
- RNAse H destroys the RNA template from the DNA-RNA compound (RNAse H only destroys RNA in RNA-DNA hybrids, but not single-stranded RNA).
- The second primer attaches to the 5' end of the DNA strand.
- Reverse transcriptase again synthesizes another DNA strand from the attached primer resulting in double stranded DNA.
- T7 RNA polymerase continuously produces complementary RNA strands of this template which results in amplification. The amplicons, however, are antisense to the original RNA template.
- Now a cycle can begin starting with the RNA strands from the previous step, the second primer and reverse transcriptase and copying the mechanisms of steps 1–6.
The NASBA technique has been used to develop rapid diagnostic tests for several pathogenic viruses with single-stranded RNA genomes, e.g. influenza A,[4] foot-and-mouth disease virus,[5] severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus,[6] human bocavirus (HBoV)[7] and also parasites like Trypanosoma brucei.[8]

The objective of this study is to validate an all-in-one defined daily dose (DDD) methodology for studying the utilization of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with patient-linked data. Furthermore, the utilization of TPN in intensive-care patients is described. In a prospective survey, conducted from March to August 1992 on two intensive-care units, 47 patients using TPN were followed. Adapted ratios of prescribed daily dose (PDD) and DDD for amino acids, fat emulsion, and carbohydrates were 0.76±0.22, 0.69±0.30 and 1.07±0.23 (mean±SD), respectively. The ratio of the number of TPN DDD's to the number of TPN treatment days was 0.84±0.18. The prescription rate of TPN was 19.9 DDD/100 beddays, composed of 5.9 DDD/100 beddays for amino acids, 5.8 for fat emulsion, and 8.2 (or carbohydrates. It was shown that the proposed all-in-one DDD methodology can be used to describe the utilization of TPN and its components. The DDD's for amino acids, fat emulsion, and carbohydrates are valid for use in intensive-care patients.

|A Dumb Takes preview of the Bruins' offseason
|06.13.16 at 12:56 pm ET
Here is a vast overview of where the Bruins stand entering the offseason. It includes their cap situation, their trade chips and how they're best-suited to fill areas of need.
This is a Dumb Takes edition of that.
As we did entering the Stanley Cup Final, this is an estimation of the less-than-intelligent points you will run into either on the internet, radio or television if you haven't already.
To avoid any confusion, the Dumb Takes will be italicized. Any logic will be formatted normally.
When you don't have as many good players as you used to and you have a lot of money, the move is to trade one of the best goalies in the league because he makes a lot of money. Did you know that Tuukka Rask wasn't EITHER of the goalies in this year's Stanley Cup Final? Did you know that Matt Murray and Martin Jones were the reasons their team reached the Final, but that Tuukka Rask wasn't when the Bruins were there in 2013 and he put up significantly better numbers then than either Murray or Jones did this offseason? Did you know?
The Bruins shouldn't have any untouchables because, despite a less-than-great Eastern Conference team just winning the Stanley Cup, the B's have just as good a shot at being in no-man's land in the coming seasons as they do of being contenders. So while they should be willing to move Rask if they can get an overwhelming return, the idea that trading one of their three best players should be a priority is really, really stupid. Rask had a bad year on a bad team, but his career suggests he's one of the best five or so goalies in the league and he's still just 29. Maybe put a team that's good in front of him — the Bruins were 20th in the league in 5-on-5 high-danger scoring chances against — and he'll manage.
It isn't too late! Where would Sidney Crosby be right now if the Penguins hadn't fired their coach mid-season? Dead, maybe? Well Mike Johnston, a first-time head coach who by all accounts wasn't a good one, is EXACTLY THE SAME as Claude Julien! They fired him and look what happened!
Claude Julien is a good coach and some of the coaches that have been fired aren't good coaches. The reason the Bruins weren't very good this season was because their defensive personnel was very bad. Julien had to rely too much on Kevan Miller, but that was because Kevan Miller actually seemed like a viable option compared to Julien's other options at times. That's on management, not the coach.
But which good defensemen has he developed?
Johnny Oduya, Johnny Boychuk, Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug. Guys who played elsewhere — Zdeno Chara, Dennis Seidenberg, Andrew Ference, etc. — had the best years of their career when playing under Julien.
So they should just keep everything the same?
No, they should keep the good things the same. They have a good coach.
Why are the Bruins talking to Loui Eriksson's agent? Why would they consider signing Eriksson?
Because they only have one good right wing (David Pastrnak) and he's never played more than 51 games in an NHL season.
But they shouldn't re-sign Eriksson. He doesn't do anything special.
There were only seven players in the league with 30 goals and a Corsi Relative of 9.0 or higher. Eriksson was one of them.
But he's not going to score 30 goals every year!
There were only 12 players in the league with 25 goals and a Corsi Relative of 9.0 or higher. Eriksson was one of them.
Should the Bruins definitely sign Eriksson at all costs? Of course not. In fact, if Kyle Okposo doesn't cost much more, they should sign him instead. But why would a team with a gaping hole on the right side — and no help on the way from the AHL with the exception of Seth Griffith — close the door on its best right wing? It must be because he doesn't hit people.
It IS because he doesn't hit people!
That's because his team usually has the puck when he's on the ice.
Here's one that actually is a good idea in theory, but it just might not be feasible. If the Bruins don't do it, it's because they can't. Chara's contract is good (pricey in 2016-17, but very cap-friendly in 2017-18) and he'd be a stud second-pair guy for a contending team, but the fact is that a team with a good young defenseman should hold on to that asset for dear life.
Not true! The Bruins were willing to trade Hamilton!
That was a bad move by them.
No, he was never that good in Boston.
Yes he was. This must be because he didn't hit people.
It IS because he didn't hit people!
|5 things we learned: Tuukka Rask stays hot, Matt Beleskey continues to score in win
|02.26.16 at 9:41 pm ET
Back before the go-to goaltending concern was whether Tuukka Rask was going to have to play every game, the biggest one was making sure Boston's goaltender — whether that happened to be Tim Thomas or Rask — would turn it on down the stretch.
If the last five games are any indication, the B's are getting good news in that regard. In stopping 39 of the 40 shots he faced in a 4-1 win over the Hurricanes Friday, Tuukka Rask has a .951 save percentage in his last five starts. The Bruins have gone 4-1-0 in that span.
The Bruins have one more game prior to Monday's trade deadline, as they'll host the Lightning Sunday at TD Garden. Both the Bruins and the Bolts have 74 points on the season, though Boston has played 62 games to Tampa's 61.
Here are four more things we learned Friday:
With another two-goal game — his second in his last three games — Matt Beleskey tied his career-high in points with 32. Beleskey put up 32 points a season ago in 65 games for the Ducks and has done so in 60 games this season.
The third-line left wing is currently enjoying his best offensive stretch as a Bruin. He has six points (five goals and an assist) over his last four games. The 27-year-old is on pace to finish the season with 43 points.
Until the Hurricanes got some chances against them late in the second period, Patrice Bergeron's line dominated play over the opening 40 minutes. The trio was on the ice for 13 shots for and three shots against over the first two periods, with Bergeron leading all players with an 84.21 Corsi For percentage in the opening 40. He and Brad Marchand finished the game tied with a game-best 74.07 mark.
One of those shot attempts went in off Bergeron's stick, as Brett Connolly's pressure forced a turnover that made its way to Bergeron, who beat Cam Ward for the game's first goal. With the goal, Bergeron moved into a tie with Loui Eriksson for second on the team with 23 goals this season. Read the rest of this entry »
|Tuukka Rask the only change to Bruins' anticipated lineup vs. Penguins
|02.24.16 at 12:03 pm ET
With the exception of Tuukka Rask taking the net, Wednesday's morning skate suggested the Bruins will use the same lineup Wednesday night against the Penguins that they used in Monday's loss to the Blue Jackets.
That would mean that Max Talbot would be scratched for a second straight game and would be joined by Tyler Randell and Zach Trotman in the press box.
The Bruins have beaten the Penguins in both meetings between the teams this season, with Boston sweeping a home-and-home with 3-0 and 6-2 wins on Dec. 16 and 18, respectively. The B's and Penguins enter Wednesday's action in wild card spots, though the B's are projected to finish in third in the Atlantic Division based on points per game.
Based on the skate, the Bruins will use the following lineup Wednesday:
Chara-Kevan Miller
|Jonas Gustavsson not cleared to play; Malcolm Subban will back up Tuukka Rask
|02.02.16 at 11:39 am ET
Jonas Gustavsson took a positive step Tuesday by facing shots in the Bruins' morning skate, but he will remain on injured reserve when the B's host the Maple Leafs at TD Garden.
"Cleared to practice, not to play," Claude Julien said of the goaltender, who is recovering from an elevated heart rate.
With Gustavsson remaining out, Malcolm Subban will be Tuukka Rask's backup Tuesday night. Based on morning skate, the lineup figures to be as such:
Seidenberg-Colin Miller
Krug-Kevan Miller
|3rd-place Bruins say they've 'surprised,' 'proved people wrong'
|01.27.16 at 2:15 am ET
The Bruins' final game before the All-Star break didn't go their way, a 6-2 loss to Anaheim that dropped the B's home record to a lousy 11-13-2.
However, the players in the Boston dressing room seemed content with their lot in life as they packed up for a week's furlough, a 26-18-5 season mark in tow that was holding them third place in the Atlantic Division with 33 games remaining on the season.
"We've surprised a lot of people," said defenseman Torey Krug. "We're not surprised in here where we [are]. We had a goal to be in the top three [of our division] before the All-Star break and we're sitting right there."
"At the beginning of the year there were a lot of people that probably thought that we wouldn't be in the playoffs," echoed forward Ryan Spooner. "You kind of heard that stuff, and that we would be a younger team. But we've shown that we can play with the top teams. We've proved a lot of people wrong and we just have to keep that up."
The Bruins have indeed exceeded many preseason prognostications to this point. The team's 21-10-2 record against the Eastern Conference shines bright, as does its 12-6-1 mark within the division. The latter includes a 4-0 performance against the two teams ahead of Boston in the Atlantic (Florida and Detroit).
That said, despite winning five of their last seven games, players also are willing to admit that their current playoff perch is a tenuous one.
|Bruins offer no update on Jonas Gustavsson after goalie taken to hospital
|01.26.16 at 11:40 pm ET
The Bruins offered no update on the status of goalie Jonas Gustavsson, who left Tuesday's loss to the Ducks after the first period and was taken to the hospital.
The only word that the Bruins offered was during the game, when they shared that Gustavsson was ill and taken to Mass General. Gustavsson has a history of heart procedures, which led to speculation that the goaltender could have had another such issue.
Asked specifically whether Gustavsson's situation was heart-related, Claude Julien said he had 'no idea.' The Bruins said afterwards that they would not have any update for at least the rest of the day.
Tuukka Rask replaced Gustavsson for the final two periods. He too said he was unaware of Gustavsson's status.
"He just went to the trainer's room after the period and that was it," Rask said. "That's all I know."
|Undermanned Bruins in a strange state after season-worst 5-of-6 skid
|01.05.16 at 11:58 pm ET
In a result that surprised just about no one, the Bruins, sans David Krejci and Brad Marchand, dropped a game to the best team in the Eastern Conference on Tuesday night.
Washington took a 1-0 lead in the first period and never trailed en route to a 3-2 victory at TD Garden.
Now, compared to the B's poor effort in a 5-1 loss to Montreal on New Year's Day, Tuesday's one-goal defeat might even qualify for "moral victory" status to some.
However, when the B's big picture now paints a season-worst funk, with the team having lost five of its last six games, it was hard to find great optimism in the Boston locker room after Tuesday's game.
"I don't know, a little bit up and down," winger Loui Eriksson said of his team's effort. "We're playing a good team and they took advantage of us in the first [period]. We came back a couple of times, but in the end they won a game. It's a tough one, we need to start winning here again."
Coach Claude Julien approved of the will, but not quite the way.
"Yes, for me, disappointed in the loss," Julien said. "Not disappointed in the effort. There's no moral victory, but I can't criticize the effort our team gave tonight. In the situation we're in we almost had to play a perfect game to beat those guys. Our guys worked hard, they had chances, and this is a good [Washington] hockey club.
"We gave ourselves a chance there, I don't think we ever quit. We were down a goal, then down two and came back into it. They made a big save on [Zdeno Chara] at the end to keep that game from being tied. I think our guys tried, really tried, but at the same time in this league you've got to win hockey games. We've got to be disappointed, hungrier for the next game so we can turn things around here. Hopefully the bitterness in our mouth from losing tonight is going to carry into Friday in New Jersey."

E3 2009: Dead Rising 2 Trailer
Written Sunday, May 31, 2009 By Jason Debelyak
Although Dead Rising 2 is going to be a no-show at this year's E3, Capcom decided that it would be a good idea to release a trailer before the show kicks off. After all, what would E3 be without atleast a glimpse of kicking some zombie ass, even if it's not directly at the show. Taking place in Las Vegas this time around, everything will be reflective of Sin City, which will make the game that much more fun. Shown in the trailer appears to be that of Old Vegas, which is beautifully redone. Check out the trailer below in order to get your E3 zombie fix!

It was way too close for comfort the entire afternoon, but parts of Marrone's new up-tempo offense clicked beautifully and Syracuse held on to secure the victory. The whole afternoon felt like we were watching The Dougie in his football laboratory, trying to secure gains on offense while avoiding mental mistakes and calling plays via process of elimination. Sometimes experiments blow up in your face, and for much of the game, SU seemed to be beating itself. (Fizz alum Steve Neikam summed up the situation well, tweeting: "The gun SU uses to shoot itself in the foot definitely has the unlimited ammo cheat from Goldeneye") SU made inexcusable mental errors and fielded a defense that broke down in the open field to allow over 200 rushing yards from an inferior team, but with the negatives come the positives.

Johnson-Crapo is Obamacare for Homebuilders
The Senate proposes a new front for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
A Washington Times editorial:
Nationalizing health care, which represents one-sixth of the economy, has been nothing short of a disaster. Nearly everyone recognizes that, but Congress hasn't noticed. The Senate will vote Tuesday to establish a permanent federal presence in housing, which represents another one-sixth of the economy. Government manipulation of the housing sector was one of the primary causes of the Great Recession, and an Obamacare-style takeover will make things worse.
The disaster in the making is the bipartisan proposal of Sens. Tim Johnson, South Dakota Democrat, and Mike Crapo, Idaho Republican. It appears to lend the appearance of needed housing-market reform, but Johnson-Crapo is actually as crappy as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government sponsored enterprises that Americans spent $189 billion to bail out. This was the biggest of all the government bailouts, far surpassing bailing out Detroit automakers and Wall Street financial firms. It's money we'll never see again.
Johnson-Crapo would replace the signs on the Fannie and Freddie offices with a sign on a new government bureaucracy, the Federal Mortgage Insurance Corporation. A change of signs, alas, does not a reform make, and is good news only for the sign painters. Fannie and Freddie, quasi-private entities, have been backing mortgages with the implicit promise that the federal government would pick up the tab for the losses. This generous foolishness is what spurred the housing industry to build and expand with abandon, secure in the knowledge that taxpayers would absorb the risk if anything went wrong, which everything promptly did.
Fannie and Freddie were an open invitation to bad behavior, inviting speculators to reap the rewards with none of the risks. Johnson-Crapo preserves the crap, making the implicit explicit, replacing two mortgage giants with one enormous federal agency to back 90 percent of losses. As the new regulator in town, the Federal Mortgage Insurance Corporation would set underwriting standards for home loans, ensuring politicians ready access to favors they can dispense to friendly constituencies.

Jetpods a good solution to traffic congestion
The Jetpod - a revolutionary air taxi - is aimed at reducing the number of vehicles on the road and easing traffic congestion.
But I was shocked by the aircraft's cost. With each Jetpod costing more than $14 million, an average citizen would not be able to afford the fare.
Moreover, since the aircraft is unique, repairs, such as replacing an engine or other vital parts, could be costly. This would put a heavy burden on the company.
I believe it will take a few years before the Jetpod becomes a popular mode of transport. But I really want to own one. I hope my dream will come true.
Thanks for your letter, Christopher. I, too, was excited to read about the plans for Jetpod. I hope that you saw the Big Issue on Tuesday that we did on the subject.
As you say, Jetpods will most likely be too expensive for the average person, but they will still have an impact on our lives.
Every Jetpod in the sky will mean fewer cars on the road - thus helping to ease traffic problems.
For a taste of what it would be like to fly in a Jetpod, check out the flight simulator on this website: www.avcen.com
