Today's virtual jugglers will be tomorrow's high achievers
Page Tools
Electronic games and the internet are not dumbing down a generation of users, writes Rachel Hills.
Like jazz music, television and rave parties before them, there's not much electronic games and the internet haven't been blamed for when it comes to their impact on the young.
They make children fat. They incite violence. They render users antisocial, depriving them of face-to-face engagement with the physical world.
My personal favourite, however, is a prediction by the Children of High Intellectual Potential Foundation that the popularity of electronic games will narrow the field of high achievers. In an interview with The Sun-Herald's Sunday Life magazine last month, the foundation's Glenison Alsop, a psychologist, said that the instant gratification of games sapped young people of their ability to work hard and persevere when things weren't all fun and, well, games.
I'll be honest. Like many people in their early 20s, I do occasionally wonder if high-speed internet access, caffeine and MP3 players haven't done something to my attention span. It's said that MTV reduced the collective attention span of Generation X to about three minutes, but MTV has nothing on Internet Explorer and multi-tabbed browsing, which have produced a generation accustomed to concentrating not for three minutes at a time, but on three things at once.
In my experience,
the young people who are coming up with the most original ideas - the highest achievers - are the very same ones who are most adept at doing and thinking about three things at once - the very same characteristics as those bred by electronic games and the internet.
Earlier this year, a US neuroscience writer, Steven Johnson, released a book titled Everything Bad Is Good For You, arguing that the "villains" of popular culture - video games, the internet and television programs such as Lost and 24 - are actually making us smarter.
Johnson argues they enhance our abilities because of how they work, and how that influences the way our brains function.
As he points out, contemporary video games are detailed and complex, forcing players to develop analytical and problem-solving skills. Many take around 40 hours to complete, requiring dedication and, yes, perseverance from players.
The internet forces users to make decisions about how they use it - be it seeking out information about a subject that interests them, arguing about anything from Jessica Simpson's marriage to foreign aid, or maintaining social relationships.
The internet also allows users to be creators: to spend hours coding, designing or writing for websites (perseverance again), to create music videos, to participate in activism and to start their own campaigns.
The mass of information available renders users more critical of what they read - if something doesn't stimulate, they can move on with the click of a button. It's not just a sign of a short attention span: it's practical.
The virtual world isn't about to supplant the physical, and nor should it.
To claim that new media is sapping young people's ability to persevere, innovate and learn is little more than closed-minded Ludditism.

Hi, I'm fairly new to the linux world. I recently installed backtrack 4 final on my usb flash drive. I formatted it to fat32 and copied the files to my flash drive using unetbootin. My only problem is that it will not boot when I restart. I have grub installed and I'm dual booting with vista home premium and ubuntu intrepid. I heard that it's most likely a faulty mbr and that I need to install one on my flash drive. I followed the directions via this link below, yet when I reboot, I still get the grub menu with the dual boot options. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
note: I noticed I can't post links

The cat doesn't know it's playing Jenga, but the cat is quite good at playing Jenga. Susanna Reid made a video of her cat also playing Jenga. It's possible that at this point, only cats play Jenga. We're sure they would prefer to play Mouse Trap. Tomorrow: a walrus plays Kerplunk and snakes swarm up a ladder.

Summit Man Charged With Defrauding eBay Sellers
A New Jersey man has been charged in what federal prosecutors say was a scheme to defraud hundreds of sellers of foreign and antique banknotes on the online auction site eBay.
Forty-nine-year-old David D'Aries of Summit is charged with one count of mail fraud.
New Jersey's U.S. Attorney says D'Aries won approximately 400 auctions during a five year period on eBay, posing as three different individuals, including his dead father.
Prosecutors say D'Aries would pay for his purchases using PayPal or a variety of credit cards, then call the credit card companies and claim he had never received an item or a charge was unauthorized. Prosecutors estimate the losses to eBay, PayPal and various sellers total aproximately $122,000.
A message left for D'Aries' attorney Thursday afternoon was not immediately returned.

Big 5 Blackjack Gold is an exciting online blackjack game and whether you are a player in Toronto, London or New York or in fact anywhere else on the globe you should be impressed by this game. Blackjack players argue that it is a particularly exciting version of blackjack partly because it is played with five regular decks of 52 playing cards(as opposed to the standard two decks) that are shuffled before each game.
Before you play the game you must be aware that the primary goal is to beat the Dealer. A victory over the dealer occurs in two ways – firstly you can attain a hand with a higher value without exceeding the limit of 21 or secondly you can beat him because his hand goes 'bust'(that is goes over the limit of 21) before yours.
Beginner players especially, should take note that blackjack consists of 2 cards – an ace and a ten. It is the crème de la crème of hands – it cannot be beaten by the dealer, only matched.
Furthermore the ace is a unique card because unlike other cards in the pack it has two values – 1 and 11. Depending on the value of your hand you can choose which value you want it to hold during the game. If for example you have a Jack of Spade and draw an Ace you will obviously give it the value of 11 as this would then comprise a hand of blackjack.
In Big 5 Blackjack Gold one of the most significant factors to take into account when playing is the payout table, which can be found in the help files on the casino software.

It's been one week since racist and anti-Semitic tweets posted by Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano's EMT son, Joseph Cassano, 23 years-old were exposed. Another is following in his footsteps to the unemployment line. What is a racist guy's reaction when confronted with their own vile tweets? Lt. Timothy Dluhos cried.
Dluhos made $93,561 in 2011, and today will be his last day at work.
Today he cried while attempting to explain his racist rants — albeit poorly — with, "I've seen strangers shot and killed. I've seen families torn apart by violence. It's a damn shame that gang members ruin it for hardworking, struggling people," he cried. Correction: He is no longer a hard working guy.
The tweets were quickly scrubbed from his twitter account, but the Post reports a couple of gems, "I'm really a dirty pervert. I see a girl with tight pants on and my eyes immediately focus on her crotch to look for camel toe," he tweeted March 15. He also posted a photo gallery of naked, obese women.
He captioned a photo of an overweight woman talking with two men on St. Patrick's Day: "I'm gonna get me 2 d–ks tonight. Good thing I take advantage of the drunk."
Dluhos insisted he doesn't hate minorities or Jews."My stepfather's Jewish," he wept. "I don't hate anybody."
The Post notified the FDNY Friday of the Internet screeds and alerted them that Dluhos had appeared despondent and had previously posted numerous online photos of his arsenal of rifles — he tweeted on Friday morning that he had enough firepower to "arm Haiti."
We don't have a copy of Racist Guy's rants, but if we run across them we'll update this post.Click here for reuse options!

Max Rubner [ru:bner] (2 June 1854, Munich – 27 April 1932, Berlin) was a German physiologist and hygienist.
Academic career[edit]
He studied at the University of Munich and worked as an assistant under Adolf von Baeyer and Carl von Voit (doctorate 1878). Later on, he taught as a professor at the University of Marburg (1885–91), and in 1891 succeeded Robert Koch as a professor of hygiene at the University of Berlin. In 1909 he succeeded Theodor Wilhelm Engelmann as chair of physiology at Berlin. Rubner was co-founder of the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institut für Arbeitsphysiologie, and became its director in 1913.
Rubner is remembered for his research in metabolism, energy physiology, hygiene and dietary thermogenesis. His best-known research centres on what he termed the "isodynamic law" of calories (demonstrated in 1873, and published a decade later), according to which the form of human calorie intake is irrelevant to its effect on energy balance, often paraphrased as "a calorie is a calorie".[1] In 1902, Rubner expressed his belief that this was over-simplistic, stating "the effect of specific nutritional substances upon the glands" may modify the effect of specific foods on energy balance,[2] a view that is now increasingly accepted.[3][4] With Otto Heubner (1843-1926), he performed important studies involving energy metabolism in infancy.[5]
In 1883 Rubner introduced the "surface hypothesis", which stated that the metabolic rate of birds and mammals that maintain a steady body temperature is roughly proportional to their body surface area.[6]
Max Rubner is also known for his "rate-of-living theory", which proposed that a slow metabolism increases an animal's longevity. Rubner's observation was that larger animals outlived smaller animals, and the metabolic rates of larger animals were slower pro rata. The theory might have been inspired by the Industrial Revolution, the logic that the more a machine is worked, the sooner it will wear out.

Exclusive: Sister Premiere New Music Video, "My Enemy"
Swedish punk/metal act Sister have their latest music video, for the song "My Enemy." The track is off their new album, Disguised Vultures, which will be released on January 21 in North America and January 24 in UK/Europe. Fans can preorder Disguised Vultures at metalblade.com/sister.
Sister drummer-backing vocalist Cari comments on the track "My Enemy" used for the new video: "'My Enemy' is a trip through a chaos filled mind. The lyrics speak about personal feelings on the ups and downs in life and also about what the world has become today. As the opener for the album this song goes out 110% from the start to seconds after hit the brakes and then come back with full force again. That's pretty much how we live our lives today."
The video's producer Jimmy Johansson adds, "My vision with this video was to make it 'in your face' as much as possible, just like the song. I wanted to portrait the ugly sides of humanity such as war, murder, torture, school dances, poverty, starvation, gluttony and so on. Hopefully we can make someone think. If the video doesn't affect you in any way, we have failed. And if you think it's too much, then you should just stay at home and not watch the news ever again and keep on ignoring."

(*note* - I tend to ramble so this might be really unreadable... I'll edit after I post it)
I don't know if this would be the right forum... but I thought this might be fun.
Starting Jan 1, 2014 - Make a post (well, you can make a post before that). Everytime you play a video game, edit your post and put the title in the body.
When you beat it put a " - Finished" after it... move it to a finished section.
In my post, I'll probably have a note for games that NEVER end (say... DOTA2)... and games I completely cut.
DLC could be a extra bit listed under the title.
I figured this list would include games started in 2013... or expansions that came out for 2013 games.
I'm not sure if anyone else would be interested, but I figured I don't have many people that I could do this with, or that would read / enjoy it.

In a brand new interview with OC Weekly (via Blabbermouth), Judas Priest singer Rob Halford was asked which of the albums he has done with the band is his favorite and why.
"I get asked that quite a bit and I have to say 'Sad Wings of Destiny' is my personal favorite; I really love that album," he responded. "It has a lot of good things going for it, and it's an important album for us as a band and for heavy metal music in general. It's just a very solid and representation of a lot of the best of Priest: the riffs, the tempo the songwriting and vocals. It still stands the test of time and is one of my personal favorites to this day, but that doesn't mean I don't love our other works."
Judas priest's latest album, "Redeemer of Souls," was released in July 2014. The follow-up to 2008's double-disc concept album "Nostradamus" was billed as a return to Judas Priest's heavy-metal roots.
"We felt it was important to make another classic metal album, which is generally what Priest has been famous for over the last 40 years," Halford said in a separate interview with Ultimate Classic Rock. "We had great success with 'Nostradamus,' which was something that we'd always wanted to try. I think there was a nice enough space of time, musically, to do a lot of things but primarily just to kind of get all of the pieces into place to make what we feel is one of our best records - with all of the elements of what classic Priest stands for."
"Redeemer of Souls" sold around 32,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Taking on the roles of Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) and Ricardo Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas), you'll hit the mean streets of Miami and destroy the cess pool of crime that has taken hold. It's a long hard road, but your ultimate goal is to bring down Miami drug lord Ortega.
The game uses a third person shooter scenario, and features beautifully rendered exotic and seedy locations from all over the city. Using the "Partner AI†system, you can play either one of the duo, and give orders to your partner to ensure you get the right backup.
Miami Vice will be released on the 26th November 2004, and will be available for PC, PS2 and Xbox.
To give you the chance to relive such an important slice of '80s culture, TrustedReviews has got together with Koch Media and secured five copies of Miami Vice for the PC.
For the chance to win a copy of Miami Vice and immerse yourself in the decade that style forgot, simply answer the question below (entry requires registration) before Monday 13th December 2004.
This competition is closed.
The competition is open to European Union residents only. Employees of both TrustedReviews and Koch Media, and their families are not permitted to enter. The winners will be announced in the forum once the competition has closed.

Tara Bray
Several Mornings While Running the Dark Streets
I caught sight of the opossum, pale and visible,
moving along the hedges of the yard,
its strange light edging into me,
a sort of light in which I lost track of silence,
disgust mingling with beauty,
like the contortionist's body, so beyond us
it's nearly ugly,
my nerves sharpened--as if spirituals loomed in the treetops—
fueled by this spectrum, this old lumberer.
This morning, another run, well into light,
I flinch, the opossum too close, dead
by the sidewalk, the grass sweeping its snout,
fur rippling in this windy stillness.
Staggering, the air in our throats
down here where we exist,
ripe and brief on these homely streets.
The opossum, without its manner,
a beautiful aside.
To the Ruddy Duck During Hard Times
Little master who never shouts the answers,
I sought you out on someone else's word.
I am only a sorry girl needing work.
You won't meet a lonelier lemon.
I'm no ecstatic by the pond.
Let me tuck you under my armpit
and share your warm blue possibility
your blue bill roughed twice by wind, twice by surprise.
You're beyond me ruddy duck. There is a periwinkle
in the sunlight hammering out the blue distance.
You are out there bobbing under the unorganic sky.
I have a satchel of apples. Unhinge your bill
and let me place this red against its blue.
Praise our honest hour. Curse our royal downfall.
I believe in that curse, this impossible dialogue.

You may not have heard of Huawei, but it has already sold millions of Android phones. Not in Japan or Korea either - its phones have been very popular in the UK. However, up until now they have borne the branding of other companies. It made the T-Mobile Pulse and Vodafone Smart, but is finally going it alone with the Huawei Blaze. It's a budget Android smartphone aimed at the pre-pay crowd that matches the feature sets of some much more expensive phones.
Once upon a time, buying a budget smartphone was fraught with issues. They normally used unresponsive resistive touchscreens, were too slow to be much fun and occasionally even missed out key features like 3G. Phones like the Huawei Blaze prove those days are more-or-less over. It doesn't miss out anything essential, doesn't look too shabby and costs less than a hundred pounds on a pre-pay deal.
Its attempt at a premium look is all for show, though. A band of silver runs between the glossy black screen surround and soft-touch back - it desperately wants you to believe it's made of metal, but it is plastic. As far as metallic impersonations go, it's impressive, but its budget ways are there to see if you look hard enough. The screen frontage is also plastic, offering very little scratch resistance. Using a case or screen protector is strongly recommended.
Approach the Huawei Blaze with a slightly less critical eye and it's a success without serious caveats. It's slim at 11mm thick, feels reassuringly dense - there are no superfluous millimetres here - and its soft-touch plastic back is very pleasant on your palm. The tri-tone design of the area below the screen highlights quite how large the area below the bottom of the screen is, but it isn't just dead space, being home to three touch sensitive nav buttons and bonafide old school clicky button, which acts as a Home key.
On-body connectivity is basic, limited to a microUSB slot and 3.5mm headphone jack, but this helps to keep the phone's edges relatively free of interruptions. The sides are particularly clear and empty, occupied solely by the obligatory volume rocker. To call the Blaze a beauty would be overstating it, but it's miles better looking than the comparably-priced Vodafone 845 - which was also made by Huawei, and had a face only a mother with little regard for the truth could say she loved.

The point is that most reviewers say it a bit 'behind the hand', but all Android-phones are similar. Google has set some hardware requirements and almost any Google-phone is complying.. So, having a SanFrancisco (hacked etc of course) I'm having the same phone as someone sporting a SG II bar the higher specs. But in essence, it's all the same if you buy a cheap or an expensive model, they all can do the same ...
The huawei Blaze looks awesome but where do I buy it from in the UK?
on the phones4u website it now says it has a 1GHz CPU and Adobe Flash 10.1
I bought it and I will return it asap to Phones4u. There's NO Adobe Flash Player support and you will never be able to install it as the CPU is ONLY an ARMv6 600Mhz. I advise not to buy it as Phones4u gives wrong specs in his website for this mobile
Is anyone else suffering from major screen scratches after a couple of months???
I have bought this phone for more than 1 year and now it touch screen has been broken. I have tried to buy one but I cannot buy one now. Who can help me?
Good one have it for the past 18 months it nice and very much fast even the touch screen is cool. Bought in Australia that's the difference using in India. Over all good

RPT-Investors may face rough ride if Canadian election leads to political instability
(Repeating to additional subscribers without changes to text)
By Euan Rocha and Alastair Sharp
TORONTO Oct 19 (Reuters) - Given there is a good chance that Monday's Canadian federal election will not give one party control of the country's parliament, investors may want to brace for a period of political instability that could dent Canadian financial markets. The already weakened Canadian dollar could be most vulnerable to a further drop, market participants warned.
Most recent polls have been suggesting the most likely outcome is a center-left Liberal minority government, with a lesser possibility that the ruling Conservatives will be in a position to form a minority government. Either of them would need the support of another party to govern
The Liberals and left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) have telegraphed that they would not support Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper if he formed a minority administration. Under that scenario, they could bring down such a government and either offer to form an alternative minority government or trigger a new election.
The Liberals have said they will not go into a formal coalition with the NDP, though there is always the possibility that stance could change once the votes are in.
"What we could see is pressure on the currency more than anything else," said John Stephenson, head of Stephenson & Co Capital Management, noting it would be especially hard for a minority Conservative administration to govern.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has pledged to run budget deficits to fund infrastructure spending, which could boost the stocks of engineering, construction and equipment companies, though it may take a toll on government bond prices in the near-term. Both the Conservatives and the NDP have stressed they will balance the budget.
Below is summary of how some fund managers, corporate executives, analysts and currency strategists see markets reacting under a range of scenarios: Continued...

This is where I live. Or at least I try to… my friends call it day-dreaming or hopeless optimism, but I think that it's wonderful to be able to be able to see beyond the day-to-day chaos and and irritating aspects of life and to see 'the bigger picture'.
All of us at times get overwhelmed with everyday pressures and begin to complain about petty things. Yes, the grass is always greener on the other side, but in a way, we all live on the 'other side'! It's all relative. I just feel like we should all make it our goal to look upon the little things; weather, timetables, transport issues etc., with as much of a positive attitude as we can. Ok, the train was 5 minutes late, but think how great it is that picks you up and drops you off at your destination so efficiently! Ok, it's freezing cold, but at least it's not raining and it means I get to wear my cute scarf and gloves set!
See what I mean? When I do this it makes me feel so much better about everything. We, no matter who we are, have so much to be thankful for, we are alive! The 'land of make believe' is not naive or blind. It is most definitely a reality.

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is a polarizing figure around the NFL.
At times he's heralded as one of the game's best defensive linemen and in other moments he's criticized for his aggressive play, while being labeled as "overrated".
He's worked hard to put himself out into the mainstream media and is commonly featured in running Subway and Nike ads. He even made an appearance on the dating game show "the Choice".
Yet Suh has been the subject of some negative press lately, most recently a law suit stemming from a December car accident in Portland.
Everyone seems to have an opinion of the third-year defensive tackle.
What does Suh think about all of this? True to his form, he kept everything football-related.
"I'm just excited to be here for football," he said upon last weekend's launch of Lions training camp. "We've had a great minicamp, got a lot of work in, from an installation piece. The defense has taken a big step. We haven't had to review much and kind of hit the ground running."
Last season, Suh referred to his personal performance as "indifferent" despite claims from his own coaches that he had a legitimate impact on the game.
"I hold myself to a higher standard and I expect more from myself," said Suh. "I'm the hardest critic on myself along with those two coaches I look deeply to (defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham and defensive line coach Kris Kocurek)"
Suh spent the offseason working on his game, citing his approach, attention to detail and technique as a few specific areas of focus. He claimed that he needs to concentrate on the fundamental elements of the position rather than the glory of a big play.
"There are some foundational things that I need to focus on before I can get to the exciting pieces, like making sacks," he said.
Suh's comments aren't those of a player lacking confidence or one hoping to survive another week in training camp. They aren't even from a man hoping to earn a starting job.
They are from a competitor striving for greatness.
"I would hope to be great," said Suh. "I plan to be like guys I've seen play, Warren Sapp, Mean Joe Greene. You know them for a reason, they are memorable names because what they've done on the football field and what they stand for."
Everyone will always have their opinions of Suh. In terms of his on field performance, he plans on providing them a few more.

Despite our best intentions, stress and anxious thoughts can creep into our lives and begin to sour our happiness. Key Lime is an essential oil that helps us slow down and find a sense of harmony and calm.
Key Lime can be especially helpful for those struggling with sadness and feelings of unhappiness. Beyond Key Lime's sweet and tart aroma, it can be applied topically to help skin irritations and insect bites. It also can improve vitality during the cold and flu season. Key Lime pairs amazingly well with Geranium and other citrus and floral aromas.
Native to Asia, the Lime tree was first introduced by the Moors. British ships transporting Limes were called "lime juicers" because crews depended heavily on the Lime's high vitamin C content during long voyages. Today, it is cultivated in Italy, Africa, the West Indies and the Americas. The small evergreen tree grows up to 15 feet in height and sprouts ovate leaves, small white flowers and bitter fruit. The peel of the fruit is cold pressed to extract the lovely essential oil.
Botanical Name: Citrus aurantifolia var. swingle
Origin: Mexico
Method: Cold Pressed
Plant Part: Peel
Note: Top
Family: Rutaceae
Synonym: Mexican Lime, West Indian Lime
Blends Well With: Bergamot, Geranium, and other citrus and florals
Aroma: Sweet, rich, tart, and likened to a Lime popsicle
Consistency: Thin
Color: Clear
**Euro droppers are not included with 100 & 250 ml bottles**
DIGESTIVE ISSUES: Add to a personal inhaler and inhale as needed: 5 drops of Key Lime, 5 drops of Ginger and 5 drops of Sweet Orange. Or add 5-6 drops of Key Lime to your diffuser and diffuse for 30-60 minutes. Alternately, add to a 2 ounce squeeze bottle: 4 drops of Key Lime, 3 drops of Ginger, 8 drops of Peppermint, 9 drops of Sweet Orange and 4 tablespoons of Sweet Almond oil. Shake to mix well. Apply a teaspoon over the abdomen and massage. (2% dilution)
GARGLE: Add to a 4 ounce squeeze bottle: ½ cup of warm Chamomile tea, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 drop of Key Lime and 1 drop of Tea Tree. Shake well to dissolve the honey and essential oils into the tea. Use as a gargle 2-3 times daily or as often as needed to provide relief; shake the bottle well each time before use. Utilize the whole bottle daily and make a fresh batch as needed.
DELIGHT: Add to a personal inhaler and inhale as needed: 5 drops of Key Lime, 5 drops of Basil and 5 drops of Lemon. Or add 5-6 drops of Key Lime to your diffuser and diffuse for 30-60 minutes.
OILY SKIN: Add to a 2 ounce bottle: 4 drops of Key Lime, 1 drop of Carrot Seed, 4 drops of Frankincense (Frereana) and 3 drops of Lavender (French), then fill with witch hazel. Shake well before applying a couple of drops to a water-damp cotton ball and wiping oily areas around the nose, chin and forehead. Add a teaspoon of this blend to a small basin of water and soak a face cloth for larger areas. Relax and keep your eyes closed, as you apply the cloth to your entire face for a refreshing mask! (1% dilution)
SUGAR SCRUB: To exfoliate the skin and smooth the appearance, mix together: 12 drops of Key Lime, 10 drops of Cypress, 12 drops of Tangerine and 14 drops of Grapefruit. Add ½ cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of Jojoba and 1/4 cup of Sweet Almond oils. Stir to mix well. Use as a last step in the shower, on wet skin.

Hollywood is gearing up for what could be one of the toughest — and highest-stakes — TV contract renegotiations in years.
With third-season production on ABC's top-rated and Emmy-winning comedy Modern Family ending in early March, representatives for the series' six adult castmembers have begun formulating a plan to negotiate significantly higher salaries with producer 20th Television, according to multiple sources.
Castmembers Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara were paid in the $65,000-an-episode range for the 22-episode third season, according to sources, a fee that was bumped up from the first two seasons last summer. (Stonestreet was making merely $20,000 an episode or so for the first season, when he won an Emmy, one of 11 wins for the series.) Ed O'Neill, who came to Modern Family after success on Married … With Children and other series, makes in the $105,000 range per episode, plus a small backend he receives for agreeing to cut his quote to join the series in 2009. (O'Neill was considered the "get" when Modern Family was casting, taking on the patriarch role when Craig T. Nelson passed.)
Now the series is heading into its all-important fourth season, when casts often renegotiate their contracts, scoring big paydays in exchange for agreeing to extend original seven-year deals by an additional year or two so the studio can generate bigger syndication revenue. One source suggested the cast could ask for a jump to the $200,000-an-episode range for season four, which would be on par with the three stars of CBS' The Big Bang Theory when they re-upped after their show's third season in 2010. Reps will seek additional boosts of $50,000 to $100,000 for subsequent seasons, but 20th is likely to resist opening the vault for a cast with twice as many leads as the Big Bang trio.
"It's going to get ugly," says a source close to the dealmaking.

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced the filing of court actions against two Oregon manufactured homes dealers, resulting in one being permanently out of business in that industry and the other making changes in its business operations. Named in Assurances of Voluntary Compliance are James A. Young of Salem, who did business as Northstar Financial Corporation and AMC Acceptance, and Golden Pacific Homes, Inc. of Portland, that also does business as Pacific Home Mortgage. The agreements admit no violation of law and were filed in Marion County Circuit Court.
"For the last two years, the Oregon Department of Justice has worked with manufacturing housing representatives, lenders, consumer advocates and the Legislature to significantly reform this industry," Myers said. "Following legislative fixes, a key part of this reform package was Justice taking actions against those companies that don't comply with state and federal laws."
Justice investigators found that Young consistently baited consumers with phony advertisements in the Statesman/Journal newspaper for non-existent manufactured homes. The "lease to own," "home for sale," and "rent to own" ads appeared regularly for months.
When inquiring consumers called Young about the ads, they were asked for personal financial information and then switched to lists of repossessed manufactured homes obtained from banks and finance companies by Young.
In conjunction with this enterprise, Young operated an unregistered credit services organization through which he allegedly engaged in predatory lending practices to obtain additional funds from consumers. In one such case, investigators found that Young switched a 65-year old, retired missionary to a repossessed home for approximately $39,000 and then failed to credit her for her actual $500 down payment. Young then falsified a $5,000 down payment to a lender to obtain financing for her, charged the woman over $4,000 in fees to purchase the home and failed to pay property taxes that were due upon sale of the home.
Under the Assurance, Young is permanently restrained from conducting business as a manufactured home dealer or as a credit services organization. Young is required to pay $6,300 in restitution to a consumer and $3,700 to the Justice consumer protection and education fund.
Named in the second assurance filed today is Golden Pacific Homes, Inc. (GPH) with offices in Portland, Woodburn and McMinnville. The company sells manufactured housing and acts as a loan and mortgage broker.
While reviewing a consumer complaint against GPH concerning delays in paying a contractor out of loan proceeds, Justice investigators found violations of Regulation Z of the federal Truth in Lending Act. Justice determined that the retail installment contract used with Golden Pacific as the creditor did not reflect a correct down payment and amount financed in order to get a better interest rate.
GPH also violated Regulation Z by failing to include in its retail installment contract a list of disbursements to third parties by the creditor on the consumer's behalf or give the consumer the option of having the disclosures made.
Under the agreement, GPH paid Justice $5,800 for its consumer protection and education fund. GPH also agreed to comply with the Unlawful Trade Practices Act and Regulation Z.
Consumers wanting more information about purchasing manufactured housing may call the Attorney General's consumer hotline at (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only), (503) 229-5576 (Portland area only) or toll-free at 1-877-877-9392. Justice is online at www.doj.state.or.us.

Officials at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers say they're making progress on repairs and improvements to the levee system protecting New Orleans from hurricane storm-surge flooding. USA Today reports that contractors for the Corps are working double shifts to boost the levees' capacity to handle this year's possible crop of storms ("Army Corps: Flood work around the clock in La.," by Cain Burdeau, Associated Press writer). The Times-Picayune covers the story in more detail ("New Orleans region's levee system is making strides," by Sheila Grisset). The Corps has spent $2.5 billion on levee work since Hurricane Katrina hit in fall of 2005, and has another $8 billion on tap for further construction. But all the planned improvements will not be in place until 2011 — and even then, the system will fall short of protecting against some possible hurricane strikes. In any case, officials say, the system is designed to protect property, not life. So even when the levees are finished, south Louisiana and New Orleans residents should heed evacuation warnings and leave the city if a dangerous storm approaches. Westward along the Gulf coast, meanwhile, there's discussion of a whole new system to protect the city of Houston and its vital port facilities — along with the barrier island of Galveston, the Bolivar peninsula, and low-lying mainland rural counties. Dubbed the "Ike Dike" after last year's Hurricane Ike, which drowned much of the Bolivar Peninsula and parts of Galveston, the proposed structure would consist of elevated levees along the edge of the barrier island system, plus moveable floodgates across the shipping channel that allows entry to the Houston harbor. The idea is the brainchild of University of Texas oceanographer William Merrell, who got his inspiration from the civil engineering works that protect the low-lying Netherlands against the waters of the North Sea. Merrell pitches his concept in a Dallas Morning News editorial ("William Merrell: Why Texas needs the 'Ike Dike' "). The Wall Street Journal also covers the story ("Planning the 'Ike Dike' Defense," by Ben Casselman). Ike's destruction, impressive though it was, could have been multiplied tenfold or more had the storm veered just a few miles to the west and pushed its surge up the waterway toward Houston. In that scenario, instead of flooding a sparsely populated island and some barely inhabited swamp and range land, the surge could have knocked out shipping facilities, petroleum refineries, and chemical plants that play a significant role in the national economy — along with the homes of a quarter million or more people in the seaward portions of Houston and vicinity. Proponents say the Ike Dike could block such a wave, potentially saving many more billions of dollars than the project would cost to build.
But the actual costs for a project that is still at the early idea stage are impossible to guess. And some detractors say that the project could even cause additional flooding in some situations, by trapping water behind it. Critics also point to potential environmental impacts, and they say the project could distract from simpler, less costly measures to reduce storm impacts by modifying individual sites and buildings. The basic engineering to accomplish the project, however, would not be an innovation. Proponents say the job could resemble floodgates installed at Rotterdam in the Netherlands in the 1990s, or a flood-protection system currently nearing completion at the Russian city of Leningrad, on the Baltic sea. And Houston is not the only American city considering similar flood defenses: New York City is a possible candidate for a similar seawall, intended to protect the city's low-lying boroughs from the kind of flooding that inundated Manhattan during an 1821 storm that flooded what is now the city's financial district. Ideas ranging from a series of short barriers at critical points, to a 5-mile-long wall extending from New Jersey to Queens, were raised at a March conference that drew 100 scientists and researchers to the New York University's Polytechnic Institute, according to an Associated Press report (" Hurricane barriers floated to keep sea out of NYC," by Jennifer Peltz). Ike Dike supporters say one way to fund at least part of the project could be to build the wall along the route of existing seaside roadways, tapping Federal highway dollars. And with Houston business interests, including the powerful chemical and petroleum industries, warming to the idea, the Ike Dike may prove to be politically viable. Says local politician Bill King, who served on Texas Governor Bill Perry's post-Ike hurricane commission: "This actually has more political legs than I ever dreamed it would have."

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Staff revamps guidance on real estate acquisitions, adds disclosure guidance
The SEC staff in the Division of Corporation Finance updated the Financial Reporting Manual (FRM) to revise its guidance on the financial statement requirements related to acquisitions of real estate operations (S-X Rule 3-14) and make other changes. Significant revisions to the FRM include:
- The staff said it will require S-X 3-14 financial statements if a real estate acquisition is significant at the 10% level for an acquired entity with operations other than leasing when the acquired property has a rental history.
- For purposes of testing whether individually insignificant acquisitions are significant in the aggregate, registrants need to consider only acquisitions since the prior year-end, not individually insignificant acquisitions made during the last full year.
- Consistent with Rule 3-05 for a business combination, the staff will permit the use of pro forma financial information to calculate significance for an acquisition made after the filing of a Form 8-K that included historical audited S-X 3-14 financial statements for a prior significant acquisition.
- The staff revised the significance test for property acquired during the distribution period of a blind pool offering to allow the registrant to use total assets as of the date of the acquisition plus the proceeds (net of commissions) it expects to raise in the registered offering over the next 12 months as the denominator.
- Rather than requiring formal preclearance, the staff will accept unaudited financial statements when a registrant acquires an operating property with a rental history of more than three months but less than nine months, and the staff will not require S-X 3-14 financial statements when the leasing history is less than three months.
- The staff clarified its guidance on the financial statement requirements for properties subject to triple net lease arrangements and added guidance to require S-X 3-14 financial statements when a registrant acquires a significant property with a rental history that is subject to a triple net lease and the lessee's financial statements are not required (e.g. when the acquired property's significance is between 10% and 20%).
The FRM, which is updated quarterly, is designed to provide general guidance only to Division of Corporation Finance staff. Because the information is useful to registrants and their auditors, the SEC staff posts it on the SEC website.
The SEC staff also released Disclosure Guidance: Topic No. 6 that includes various staff observations from its reviews of non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs). While the guidance focuses on disclosures by non-traded REITs, it may also apply to disclosures in connection with offerings by traded REITs or other registrants that apply Securities Act Industry Guide 5.
NYSE proposes giving new public companies a year to comply with its internal audit requirement
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has proposed a new rule that would give companies listing their securities on the exchange for the first time in connection with an initial public offering or an initial Exchange Act registration statement (e.g., a spin-off) a year to comply with its requirement that listed companies have an internal audit function. The exchange already provides this relief to companies that transfer to the NYSE from another national exchange that does not have an internal audit requirement.
The NYSE said the proposal would benefit investors by reducing costs to a company in its first year as a public company. It would also make the company's implementation of its internal audit function more effective by giving newly appointed audit committees time to understand the company's internal control system and risk management process and determine the appropriate internal audit function.
The proposal is subject to approval by the SEC. Comments are due 21 days after publication in the Federal Register.
New XBRL US GAAP certificate program launched
The AICPA and XBRL US have launched an XBRL US GAAP Certificate Program designed to help SEC registrants gain in-depth knowledge of the US GAAP taxonomy and available tools to produce high-quality XBRL financial statements. The program will cover:
- Understanding XBRL and the US GAAP taxonomy
- Accurately applying tags from the US GAAP taxonomy to financial statements, including creating company-specific tags
- Using simulation to tag disclosures in the notes to the financial statements with software applications available on the market
- Transitioning to the 2013 US GAAP taxonomy
Investor Advisory Committee to meet next week
The SEC said its Investor Advisory Committee will meet on 25 July 2013 to discuss subcommittee reports and consider recommendations about data tagging and the use of universal proxy ballots. The meeting will be webcast on the SEC's website.
Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Post-Implementation Review of GASB standard on impairment of capital assets and insurance recoveries
The Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) said it will conduct a Post-Implementation Review (PIR) of GASB Statement Number 42, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairments of Capital Assets and Insurance Recoveries. The PIR process, which is independent of the standard-setting process, is intended to help the FAF evaluate the effectiveness of the standard-setting process of the FASB and the GASB.

Feeling Frenzied? Don't Freak Out.August 30th, 2013
Hi Students!
We are two weeks into the semester and all the course syllabi have been handed out. As you look over your requirements and assignments some of you may be excited by what you'll be learning, but others may be feeling a bit overwhelmed. Don't panic! I have some time management tips that can help you figure it all out:
- Stay organized! Make sure you mark your assignments and exams in a planner or calendar so you don't miss any deadlines.
- Don't wait until the last minute to start an assignment. Schedule smaller increments to work on assignments and study for exams. You'll be able to stay focused and productive to best use your time when the sessions are shorter. I know we all have the best intentions with this and sometimes it's just not possible, but make sure to keep an eye out for those upcoming assignments so they don't surprise you.
- If issues arise with completing assignments, talk to your professors. They want to hear from you!
To help schedule your time, I have a recommendation of how to utilize your 168 hours each week!
- 49 hours of Sleep (This is very important!)
- 30 hours of Studying/Class Preparation
- 20 hours of Work and Campus Activities
- 21 hours of Bodily Maintenance and Meals
- 15 hours of Class Contact
- 14 hours of Daily Hassles
- 19 hours of Time Remaining (Make sure you have some fun too!)
If you are interested in more tips and tricks on Time Management come visit us at the Student Union, Room 2562 on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, September 3rd, 4th or 5th from 12:00-1:00 pm for our seminar!

Good News, Bad News
Bad news – Billions of people are not flourishing, but living on less than $2 per day.
Good news – Since 2000, almost a billion have moved out of desperate poverty.
Surprising news – That advance did not come from charity and aid, but from business and trade.
Unfortunate news – Well-meaning people of faith are generally not engaged in helping the poor flourish by generating robust economies.

Poverty Alleviation
How do you effectively help meet the needs of those who are poor? This is a question that is particularly pertinent to the task of missions. When Paul himself was encouraged by the church in Jerusalem to continue his ministry to the Gentiles, they exhorted him to remember the poor (Gal. 2:10). Like Paul, many of our global partners find themselves working among the poor and marginalized in society, and this is a key part to their ministries. But how are we, as missions-minded Christians, to do this?
On Hospitality
Tim Blackmon makes the following observations in his article "The Dangerous Act of Hospitality" (from Modern Reformation, Sept/Oct 2011):
"True hospitality is different. It is deeply Christian and at times is even dangerous."
"Hospitality was crucial to the survival, identity, and growth of the early church."
"Compassionate care was the direct result of theological vision. They 'joyfully accepted the plundering of their property,' because of their belief about the future 'since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.'"
Values of Bethlehem College and Seminary
Bethlehem College and Seminary seeks to be …
Focus to Foster Fruitfulness
I remember early in my Christian journey hearing a church described as a "sending church." The idea was that the church was committed to investing their people, prayers, and finances in kingdom-advancing work beyond themselves. Now, later in my Christian journey, I am glad to be a part of such a church. Those who are "sent" from Bethlehem fall into two primary categories. "Global Partners" minister in cross-cultural situations around the world and "Outreach Ministries" minister in various settings in the United States.

Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that 300: Rise of an Empire is the sequel to the violent hit 300, with the story taking place before, during, and after the events of the original. The violence in the new movie is artificial and fantasy-based, but extremely bloody, with many fight scenes, sliced-up bodies, severed heads and limbs, and huge gushes of spraying blood. There's also a subplot about an abused girl, with sexual abuse strongly suggested. The movie contains a sex scene that plays more like a fight than lovemaking, and female toplessness is shown for several minutes. Another woman is topless in a brief scene, and many chiseled, musclebound men are shown shirtless throughout. The movie clearly contains one use each of "f--k" and "c--k," and a possible second use during a noisy crowd scene.
- Sexual Content
- A sex scene between Themistocles and Artemisia plays more like a fight than lovemaking. They throw each other around the room, and thrusting is shown. Artemisia is shown topless for several moments. Another woman is shown topless in an earlier scene, as she is being taken prisoner. Hundreds of chiseled, muscled men are shown posing shirtless, like an army of Chippendales dancers.
- Violence
- Though fantasy-based and totally artificial, the movie contains an array of brutal battle scenes, with arrows, swords and shields slicing into dozens of bodies. Huge gushes of fake-looking computer generated blood are shown spraying out at every angle. Heads and limbs are sliced off. A man's face is smashed underneath a horse's hoof. Dozens are killed. Things explode. Perhaps worse, the lone female character gets a flashback to her childhood, wherein her family is said to have been tortured, raped, and killed. As a girl, she is captured and chained up in the bowels of a ship, clearly bruised, and a man approaches her and is shown removing his shirt (abuse is strongly suggested).
- Language
- "F--k" and "c--k" are used clearly, once each. In a noisy crowd scene, it sounds as if they are each used a second time, but it's difficult to tell for sure.
- Social Behavior
- Hidden inside all the bloody battles is a theme about democracy, or nations working together to attain peace and freedom, but it's ultimately fairly muddled in the storytelling. Also, seeing the movie may interest teens in reading about the real history.

Significant laser energy was transferred from the near field scanning optical microscope tip to a silicon wafer producing nanopatterns on the sample surface. The patterns changed from nanoprotrusions to nanocraters when the background gas was changed from air to argon. Two physical mechanisms were attributed to this dramatic change, namely, oxidation and laser ablation. When air was present, oxidation dominated over ablation in the formation of the nanoprotrusions obtained after multiple laser pulses. When oxygen was absent, e.g., pure argon was the background gas, laser ablation was dominant, and nanocraters resulted after multiple laser pulses.VL - 91 IS - 25 N1 -

Making the most of a beautiful Sunday afternoon, Kendra Wilkinson showed up at her son Hank Jr.'s soccer game in Calabasas, California yesterday (March 16).
The pregnant "Girls Next Door" dame didn't let her growing baby bump slow her down, as she was quite animated as she cheered for her little guy from the sidelines.
And when Hank Jr. scored a goal in the second quarter, Ms. Wilkinson erupted with excitement and celebrated with her husband Hank Baskett.
Meanwhile, Kendra weighed in on the whole Liz Dickson lawsuit against Playboy for injuries she sustained at a 2012 event while letting a comedian hit a golf ball from a tee stuck in her backside.
Wilkinson blurted out, "That's HER fault," while questioning Dickson's intellectual proficiency.

ok, I've read through this and I have a few quick questions...
*20v head on ABA block... I've gotten conflicting info on weather or not you have to fill and mod the front oil hole, or if the ABA HG will solve this?
*Will a 16v 9a t-belt tensioner work with this setup?
*Has anyone fit the Honda belt on this setup
*If I go turbo, what luck have people had putting the 20v head with the lower 8.5:1 ratio you get by bolting on the 20v head on the stock ABA block and pistons?
