TORONTO -- Barry Zito didn't expect Edwin Encarnacion to hammer his first-pitch changeup for a home run. Even the Blue Jays third baseman was starting to wonder when he would emerge from his slump.
Encarnacion hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and drove in three runs as Toronto beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2 Friday night.
Encarnacion homered into the lower deck in left field on Zito's first pitch of the eighth, snapping a 2-all tie.
Zito said Encarnacion connected on a pitch so good, "I'd throw it again."
"It was probably [on the] black but it was [at the] knees, it was down, first pitch, and you're not looking for a guy to do that right there," Zito said.
Encarnacion came in stuck in a 2-for-26 slump and had not homered since June 4.
"I felt great and I said 'About time,"' Encarnacion said after the homer, his ninth. "I've just got to keep going and keep playing hard."
Encarnacion hit a two-run single in the fifth and went 2 for 2 with a walk. Eight of his past 16 hits have been home runs.
"I hope everything is going to come in a bunch now," Encarnacion said. "I need it."
Scott Downs (2-5) worked one inning of relief for the win and Kevin Gregg closed it out in the ninth for his 17th save in 20 chances.
Zito (7-3) allowed three runs and four hits in eight innings for his 11th career complete game and first since May 19, 2009. He walked one and struck out five.
"Z threw great," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "That's a tough loss for him because has had good stuff, he gets a complete game, a great effort and we just couldn't get enough runs for him."
Pablo Sandoval drew a bases-loaded walk off Blue Jays right-hander Brandon Morrow to give the Giants a 1-0 lead in the first.
Zito didn't allow a hit through the first four innings, but was tagged for two runs in the fifth. Alex Gonzalez led off with an infield single, Jose Bautista was hit by a pitch and everyone was safe when Sandoval threw late to second on Lyle Overbay's bouncer to third. Encarnacion followed with a two-run single to left.
Sandoval, who was playing on artificial turf for the first time in his career, said he struggled all night with bounces and double clutched Overbay's chopper.
"It was hard," Sandoval said of the adjustment to turf. "The ball bounces crazy."
The Giants promptly tied it in the top of the sixth, but could have had more. Aubrey Huff led off with a drive that ticked off the glove of centerfielder Fred Lewis. Huff paused before breaking out of the box, believing he had homered, but was held to a double.
"Can I get to three there if I didn't hot dog it a little bit?" Huff asked. "I don't know. It would have been bang-bang. That's unacceptable, I've got to bust out of the box there and that slight hesitation might have cost me getting to third."
Juan Uribe was hit by a pitch, but Huff was thrown out at the plate on Pat Burrell's single to right, with both runners advancing on Aaron Hill's relay throw. Sandoval followed with an RBI grounder.
"We shot ourselves in the foot the one inning and we know it," Bochy said.
Morrow allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out four.
The Giants are 0-4 at American League ballparks this season. They were swept in a three-game series at Oakland from May 21-23.
Toronto leads the majors with 104 homers. ... The Blue Jays signed free agent INF Nick Green and optioned INF Mike McCoy to Triple-A Las Vegas. ... Toronto RHP Dustin McGowan, who has not pitched since 2008, will visit Dr. James Andrews next week after feeling sharp pains in his shoulder recently, the latest setback in his comeback attempt from labrum surgery. ... Three Buffalo Bills players, Jarius Byrd, Lee Evans and Kyle Williams, took part in batting practice before the game. The Bills will play in Toronto twice this season, a preseason game against Indianapolis on Aug. 19, and a regular season game against Chicago on Nov. 7.

FS's Luplow Named Gregg Olson Award Finalist
courtesy of Fresno State Athletics
FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State junior outfielder Jordan Luplow has been named a finalist for the 2014 Gregg Olson Award presented by Toolshed Sports, as announced by the organization. The recipient of the award honors college baseball's "Breakout Player of the Year." Luplow is one of 12 finalists to be named on Friday, narrowed down from 36 semifinalists and the initial 83-man watch list announced on May 13.
The reigning 2014 Mountain West Player of the Year's season came to a close on May 23 on day three of the 2014 Mountain West Baseball Championship Tournament. After 57 games, Luplow's season concluded with a .377 batting average, 81 hits, 48 RBI, 21 doubles, nine home runs, 10 stolen bases, a .609 slugging percentage and .475 on base percentage - leading the Bulldogs in every statistical category.
Luplow's breakout season follows a sophomore campaign in which his achievements were limited to academic success - 2013 Academic All-MW. In 41 games Luplow owned a .278 season batting average. He recorded nine doubles, three triples, three home runs and 21 RBIs as a second-year Bulldog.
The Olson Award was created to honor college baseball's success stories and showcase players like Gregg Olson, who raised the level of his game through hard work, strength of mind and determination. Eligible players are those who are omitted from major publication's preseason All American prognostications; however by the end of the season their on the field performance will demonstrate that they are among the top amateur baseball players in the nation.
The winner of the 2014 Gregg Olson Award will be named in Omaha, Nebraska during the College World Series which is to be held this season at TD Ameritrade Park from June 14-June 24/25. Initial nominations were made by sports information/media contacts and voting was conducted by a panel of college baseball media members.

Concerns on US Recovery and EU Crisis Continued to Weigh on Markets
Financial markets in Asian session Monday were pressured as the US employment report released last Friday indicated fragility of the recovery path of the world's largest economy. Over the weekend, it was reported that German Chancellor Angela Merkel would push for ambitious steps towards greater fiscal union at the EU summit on June 28/29 while Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy wanted to add more pressure on Merkel on issuance of joint European bonds. Uncertainty would remain high in the 17-nation region. In the commodity sector, the front-month contract for WTI crude oil declined for the 5th straight day with price currently trading at 82.18, the lowest level since October 2012, while the equivalent Brent crude contract trading at 97.4 after closing below 100 last Friday. Gold eased modestly after Friday's rally. The benchmark Comex contract continued to hover around 1620.
European leaders have yet to finalize a plan to resolve the sovereign crisis in the Eurozone,. Reuters stated that Germany's Chancellor would put forward a proposal for the creation of a European finance ministry and new powers for the European Commission and European Parliament. The aim is to strengthen the fiscal union. However, other countries, including Spain, favored joint issuance of European bonds. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy stated that the EU needs to reinforce its common institutional architecture so that investors regain confidence in the single currency. Regarding the banking problems, Rajoy said that Spain will emerge from the storm through its own efforts and with the support of our European partners.
Only second-tier data will be released today. The Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence probably dropped -5.5 points to -30 in June. In the US, factory orders might have risen +0.3% in April following a -1.5% drop in the prior month.
Commitments of Traders:
With the exception of natural gas, speculators were bearish towards the energy complex in the week ended May 29. Net length for crude oil futures slid -5 186 contracts to 178 885. Net length for heating oil slipped -4 690 contracts to 823 while that for gasoline added -1 018 contracts to 72 143. Net short for natural gas futures dropped -15 446 contracts to 100 235.
Similarly speculators were mixed towards precious metal, bearish towards gold and silver while bullish towards PGMs. Net length for gold futures gained +4 439 contracts to 110 712 while that for silver declined -2 239 contracts to 8 558 contracts. For PGMs, net length for platinum increased +990 contracts to 14 087 while that for palladium rose +162 contracts to 2 743.

Factors facilitating construction industry development
Fox, Paul & Skitmore, Martin (2007) Factors facilitating construction industry development. Building Research and Information, 35(2), pp. 178-188.
|Accepted Version (PDF 431kB)
This paper reports on a study aimed at identifying the key factors associated with construction industry development worldwide, by using a grounded theory approach. This involved, firstly, the identification of 62 variables from earlier studies. A questionnaire survey was then used to elicit views of the current strength of each variable. The resulting data were factor analysed and a set of eight key factors obtained comprising: (1) Industry-led better practice and culture; (2) Financial resources and investor confidence; (3) Human skills and culture of transparency; (4) Government policies and strategies supporting construction business; (5) Research and Development for construction; (6) Self-reliant construction culture; (7) Institutional support; and (8) Supportive attitudes from Aid agencies. These appear to be relevant to both developed and developing countries.

Hi all,
Short Throw Shifter Question:
I'm not sure if this is normal as I don't have much prior experience but there seems to be a slight resiliance going into 1st, 3rd and reverse. Not all the time, only once and awhile. FYI: It's not operator error. Lol. It has never not gone into the gear, but as I've gone to put the shifter knob in, it "struggles". Instead of forcing it, I usually will pull the knob back to the center and retry. Then it goes in without resiliance. (Wow, that sounded kinky). LOL. Anyway, anyone else have any suggestions or opinions or experience with this?
Banging sound:
It occures when the car has sat over night, etc (not if I just go into the store). As I release the emergency brake, put into 1st, and drive, within 10-20 feet there is a "bang" or "pop" sound. Almost as if a disc is not releasing and releases upon driving. Again, suggestions, opinions, or experience?
Thanks you,

Thank goodness — a conference with a panel made up entirely of women that isn't just about "women in business".
The Dorchester was packed at 7.30 this morning for a breakfast seminar on luxury retail with speakers including Links of London founder Annoushka Ducas, ex-Fortnum & Mason boss Beverley Aspinall and Grosvenor luxury expert Helen Franks. Just for good measure, New West End Company's Dame Judith Mayhew Jonas, right, chaired the event for 250 guests. But would this happen in a sector other than retail? Alas, probably not.
Danny fends off the career critics
Danny Alexander, the Liberal Democrat Chief Secretary to the Treasury, saw his future prospects in the spotlight this week as he was quizzed by MPs on the Treasury Select Committee over the cuts he helped implement in the latest Spending Round.
Committee chairman Andrew Tyrie recalled the comments of one of Alexander's predecessors, Lord Barnett, who was Labour Chief Secretary from 1974 to 1979 and said "once you have done this job", you would never work again because "you have made so many enemies".
Alexander, pictured, thanked Tyrie "for the career forecast", and pointed out that he was now the third-longest serving Chief Secretary in history. Conservative MP David Ruffley noted that John Major was Chief Secretary from 1987 and 1989 before becoming Foreign Secretary, Chancellor and then Prime Minister.
"If we are going to be accurate about the career progression of my predecessors," retorted Alexander, "you might also point out that Jonathan Aitken was once Chief Secretary, so there is a range of options." That was a not-so-subtle reference to how former Tory MP Aitken ended up doing time in jail.
"Danny Boy" is more wily than his mild ginger-haired demeanour might suggest...
Couple extend winning run
The fastest couple in the City have done it again. Husband and wife Phil and Emily Wicks took top spot last night in the men and women's categories of the Standard Chartered Great City Race, which saw more than 5000 runners take part in aid of charity Seeing is Believing, the global initiative to tackle avoidable blindness. It is by no means the first time the two have achieved the double — Phil, who works for Legal & General, has won six times in the last seven years while Emily of Punter Southall recorded her fifth straight win.
Needless to say, City Spy was not too far behind...
* Exciting times under new Bank of England Governor Mark Carney. Less than two weeks into the job and the Bank has released a "virtual tour" app of its headquarters as Threadneedle Street drags itself into the modern era. Alas, among the sights around the Bank, City Spy didn't see any signs of the Governor's dressing room, scene of an infamous liaison between a female journalist and Deputy Governor Rupert Pennant-Rea, who subsequently resigned.
* Meanwhile, Catherine Brown the Bank's human resources director, is off into the City, presumably on considerably more than her £209,133 salary. So that makes Charlotte Hogg, daughter of former Tory minister Douglas Hogg, and the Bank's new chief operating officer, the only female director left in the Bank's top team. Carney's masterplan to get a woman's face on a banknote — there is none at the moment — now assumes even more importance...
* There's now no excuse for City types feeling the pinch on their expense accounts to miss out on fine dining. Former Barclays analyst Simon Granshaw is this week launching his new business, Foodelity, a website that delivers all the ingredients needed to cook Michelin star quality meals at home. Foodelity uses the same suppliers as the Fat Duck, the Waterside Inn and Le Manoir, and even supplies expertly matched wines to wash down the high-class grub. With complete meals starting at £25 a head, perhaps the City's finest eateries are finally about to experience a cold blast of austerity?

Dwyane Wade may have put his foot in his mouth on Thursday. The Miami Heat superstar drew the ire of some on Thursday afternoon when he fired off a tweet complaining about New York City traffic. Anyone who's ever tried to drive in New York City may think that's pretty harmless and would probably agree. Of course, things are different when those complaints come just days after a hurricane did historical damage, ravaging the city up and down. "3 hour traffic just to get into the NY city . . . #C'monMan," Wade tweeted, with the Heat trying to get into town to play the Knicks on Friday night at Madison Square Garden. Perhaps realizing how insensitive that may come off as, or more likely seeing the backlash such a comment created, Wade quickly backpedaled -- and deleted the tweet. He then followed up with this tweet. "2 be clear "Traffic tweet was meant 2 say"... We shouldn't B hre 2 play a basketball game when theirs so many families obviously still R affected by #Sandy" The Heat-Knicks game will mark the first marquee sporting event in New York since Hurricane Sandy struck. The Nets were supposed to open the Barclays Center in Brooklyn earlier in the week against the Knicks, but that game was postponed. The New York City Marathon is expected to be run as scheduled on Sunday, which is a point of contention for many, given the city's state, reeling after the unspeakable damage caused by the historic storm.

…Greek yogurt, a slice of freshly baked whole grain bread with peanut butter and fruit spread and my favorite — the black bean omelet with cheddar cheese and avocado salsa verde. I love the way they are incorporating the Hass avocados from Mexico in all the dishes at the conference — avocados are truly versatile, delicious and healthy.

Hi, just picked up a 79 518 with 278 thousand km on the clock. I picked up the car for 300 bucks only because i wanna put in a different power plant. The engine is in very good shape other then a small oil leak and runs and idles well for age and mileage except down on power (66kw). I wanna put in somethin that has power, preferably 150hp+, just not sure what kinda engine would fit. I would like to leave the transmission in if possible because its fine except kinda clunky when car in motion, probably needs fluid or something, not sure though. have to get under and check when get time. Brake hoses are gone which i found out the hard way when foot sank to the floor and only right front worked causing it to lock up and pull to the right. The hoses arent a problem to change though. Other then that, the body is in really good shape, no rust or dents. Paint is faded but itll get a new coat so not worryin about it. Also would anybody know what type this car is, E12,E28 or maybe somethin else. Thanks in advance

ok great. Ive started lookin around in a few near by junkyards to see what they had, no luck unfortunately but still lookin. Oh and for the 325 engine, is there a specific year that would fit the chassis or does that not matter. If it doesnt matter, then ill try to get the newest one possible. Thanks

Robust earnings help European shares extend rally ahead of ECB
* FTSEurofirst 300 up 0.4 pct, hovers below 7-year high
* ECB to detail quantitative easing programme
* European earnings up 22 pct, best season since mid-2011
By Blaise Robinson
PARIS, March 5 (Reuters) - European shares rose in early trading on Thursday, with a batch of robust company results from firms including Carrefour and Schroders boosting sentiment.
Investors also awaited the European Central bank meeting at which it is set to give further details on its massive bond-buying programme.
Shares in Carrefour rose 1.8 percent after the world's second-largest retailer said it would boost capital expenditure this year as it seeks to cement a revival of its European hypermarkets.
The British fund manager Schroders was up 2.5 percent after reporting a better-than-expected jump in its 2014 pretax profit as net inflows more than tripled to 24.8 billion pounds.
About 80 percent of STOXX Europe 600 companies have reported results so far, posting a 22 percent surge in quarterly profits, according to Thomson Reuters Starmine data, making for Europe's best earnings season since mid-2011. Continuación...

Shailene Woodley Goes Incognito to Check Out "The Fault In Our Stars" with Ansel Elgort
It was a big weekend for "The Fault in Our Stars" and it turns out Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort contributed to the $48 million box office numbers by buying two tickets themselves.
The "Divergent" dame scored a long curly wig and did her best to disguise herself before heading out with her handsome costar.
And Ansel posted a photo of the whole ordeal along with the message, "Shai's amazing disguise to go see #tfios last night without causing a scene!"
Elgort posted an additional update via Twitter to let everyone know that Woodley brought "her own popcorn to #tfios hahahaha. So bootleg."

Three Rivers repeats Firewise recognition
CULVER, Ore. - The Three Rivers Recreational Area Landowners Association earned the Firewise Communities/USA recognition for the second year in a row as a result of its efforts to reduce the vulnerability of homes and property to wildfire.
An initiative of the National Fire Protection Association, the Firewise Communities/USA Recognition Program is a process that empowers neighbors to work together to reduce their wildfire risk. Using a five-step process, communities develop and implement an action plan that guides their residential wildfire risk reduction activities.
The TRLOA has budgeted funds for additional wildland fuels reduction. These funds allow the TRLOA to capture matching funds from the Jefferson County Fuels Reduction Program and the Oregon Department of Forestry for the fuels mitigation work.
"I wanted our community to be recognized for taking seriously the need to be fire safe in Central Oregon" said Penny Lippold, chairperson of the Three Rivers Firewise Program and TRLOA Board Member. She continues, "Lake Chinook Fire & Rescue Fire Chief Don Colfels and our Oregon Department of Forestry representative, Stu Otto, have worked hard this year to make our landowners at Three Rivers aware of how to be "firewise" and I appreciate all the hard work and effort it has taken for us to be able to update our Community's status for this year."
This Firewise recognition is due to the commitment of the TRLOA and the homeowners to prevent the spread of wildfire in their community. These efforts are undertaken in cooperation with Lake Chinook Fire & Rescue, the fire department serving the greater Three Rivers area.
"Achieving Firewise recognition is not a quick or easy process. The Three Rivers Recreational Area has done an outstanding job of continuing the implementation of the Firewise principles," said Don Colfels, Fire Chief of Lake Chinook Fire and Rescue. "By preparing homes, structures, and egress before a wildfire occurs, Three Rivers continues to dramatically increase the chance that homes and structures will survive when the next wildfire occurs."

The students at Falls Career High School have scheduled their community service blood drive a little earlier this fall to meet the need for blood following the Labor Day Weekend. This fall, donate Tuesday, September 6th, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., at the Bloodmobile across the street from the MFISD Central Offices, one block behind Super Taco.
"The Falls Blood Drive is one of the more exciting community events for our students," said Mike Saenz, Falls English Teacher. "Falls students improve local lives in many ways throughout the year with their service projects, but the blood drive takes it up a notch. Knowing that lives can literally be saved, and saved so easily, galvanizes Falls students to both roll up their sleeves, and aggressively get the word out to our community."
If you are healthy, weigh at least 115 lbs., and are at least 17 years old, you can donate blood! Simply bring your ID, eat a full meal before donating, and you're ready to donate. You can make an appointment at email@example.com, or just drop by the Bloodmobile. You'll save a life and walk away in about 30 minutes with a free t-shirt and munchies.
According to the Blood Center of Central Texas, one blood donation can save many lives. Donations are used to replace red blood cells, provide frozen plasma, platelets concentrates, cryoprecipitates, and plasma.
"One of the overlooked aspects of our blood drives is the effect our community has on our students," said Falls Principal, Peggy Little. "Each year, we have more donors than students enrolled. Our students repeatedly see what a community can do for a good cause."

I wanted to share with the Primal community a splurge that I've found that fits into the Primal eating. I found these in a health food store in a small town in Montana; Livingston. They're called RAW WHEAT FREE CRUSTS by Mauk Family Farms.
They're organic, wheat and gluten free. Again, I'll reiterate, they're a splurge, the carb content is not zero. But when all those around me are dining on crackers and bread I have this to turn to for spreading cheese onto.
Nutritional Content: 2 oz serving (quite a bit for me), 210 cal, 15.4 g fat, 10.2 g carb, 7.3 g fiber, 7.6 g protein.
It's a "cracker" made up of a miscellaneous mixture of seeds, herbs with water and salt. It's been quite satisfying for me.

Climbers in Oak Trees NOW To Remove Tree-Sitters
Court Decision in UCB Oak Grove Expected Tomorrow June 18
Berkeley, CA-At least five hired contract climbers are up in the branches of the oak trees in the threatened oak grove on UCB campus to take down tree-sitters the day before the decisive court ruling is expected. Police are cordoning off the area with barricades as oaks supporters are converging on the site. The climbers and a large contingent of police arrived about 6:30 a.m. The situation is unfolding rapidly.
Oak Grove supporters were expected to gather early Wednesday morning to await word of the decision. The grove is located in the 2000 block of Piedmont Ave in Berkeley, one block north of Bancroft Way.
A campaign to save a grove of mature coast live oak trees from University of California's (UCB) axe that blossomed when a couple intrepid activists climbed high into the branches and set up tree-sits that have lasted over a year and a half has come to a head. Judge Barbara Miller will announce her decision in the long-standing court case on Wednesday, June 18 (NOTE: It is possible it will be announced today, Tuesday June 17 but is felt to be more likely tomorrow).
Superior Court Judge Miller's decision comes 9 months after a long trial of cases filed separately by the City of Berkeley, the Panoramic Hills Association, the California Oaks Foundation, Save the Oaks organization, and other individuals, but joined together by the judge. At issue in the case is whether the University can legally proceed with their massive development plans linked to the Memorial Stadium, long recognized as needing earthquake retrofit. That year and a half has seen lawsuits filed against protesters by the University, police actions, national media attention, recognition of the site as a Native burial ground, with community support for protection of the grove and the tree-sitters growing progressively stronger despite UCB's massive PR campaign.
After the tree-sits were launched on Dec. 2, 2006, the campaign became iconic of protection of sacred sites and Native burial grounds in addition to the ecological issues, including the biological link the grove represents in the urban-wildlands interface. The site is also adjacent to the active Hayward fault. Moreover, it is illegal under City of Berkeley ordinance to cut mature coast live oak trees.

So, I've been using the Windows 8 Release Preview since it came out, almost exclusively (except for work, since I'm obviously not going to rely on unfinished and untested software for that). I already knew I could get into Metro on my 11.6" ZenBook, but on my 24" desktop, things aren't looking as rosy. Here's an illustrated guide of the most pressing issues I run into, and five suggestions to address them. Instead of just complaining, let's get constructive.

You can use a 'legacy' Desktop environment and run windowed applications there, but you need to switch to Metro and/or use parts of the Metro interface to start new applications, configure OS settings and many other things that are transparent even on clumsy Windows 7 -- when you do this on Windows 8 your 'Desktop' goes away and you're in a single task Metro environment. And yes in Metro you can only use one application, or OS component at at time and it's full-screen...

You are forced to fullscreen in Windows 7?
No, but lots of people prefer to do so. And by "lots", I mean, "most" (by far).
But I don't necessarily agree with others here that website designers should go out of their way to re-flow the content of their site to fill up the entire window, whatever size the window may be at a given moment. Users are generally just fine seeing large white space to the left and right of the content.
That said, I'd like to have a 50/50 snap option in Metro (to go along wiht the current big/small option). I think the reason for providing only the big/small snap option is that Metro apps require more forethought in control layout, and it's easier for developers not to have to worry about arbitrary window sizes or even a half-width window size. With the current behavior, developers can target full-screen, 3/4ths, and 1/4th (not sure about the exact fractions involved in "snap" scenario), with the first two options having the same control layout, and the final one being special-cased. A 50/50 snap option might not be able to handle the full-screen control layout (not as well as the 3/4ths snap option), so that might require yet another special case.
This isn't as much an issue in Windows 7, sicne desktop apps don't require as much planning in control layout (though lots of apps suffer for lack of such planning anyway).

Developer- and Publisher-specific Articles: Assassin's Creed III
Assassin's Creed III trailer delves into the history of a hero
Ubisoft has released a new trailer detailing the life of the series' newest assassin, Ratohnhaké:ton/Connor. The video focuses on Connor's motivation and background as the latest in the long line of warriors to pit their blades against the Templars.
Sony announces two new slimmer PlayStation 3 models, bundles
The PlayStation 3 is slimming down for the winter. Sony has announced that a new slimmer PS3 will be available in either charcoal black or classic white in North America starting in September. There will be two models (a third with 12 GB of flash memory is a Europe-only release) released in new bundles: a 250GB model launching September 25 for $269 with a copy of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Game of the Year Edition and Dust 514 pre-installed with a $30 voucher for DLC, and a 500GB model launching October 30 for $299 with a copy of Assassin's Creed III.
Assassin's Creed III takes to the high seas in new trailer
More reveals in anticipation of this year's Gamecom, and this one is a new Assassin's Creed III naval-tastic trailer from Ubisoft. The new footage focuses on Conner's ability to command a warship and lead a hardy crew through rough seas and against enemy vessels. A few new screens were also released.
Assassin's Creed III set to hit (and stab) PC in November
PC gamers will be able to see Ratohnhaké:ton through the American Revolution on November 20 when Assassin's Creed III launches for Windows. Console gamers will be able to get their lurking-and-slicing fix a little sooner when the game hits the 360 and PS3 on October 30.
New Assassin's Creed III trailer shows off Ubisoft-AnvilNext engine
Ubisoft has released a new trailer for Assassin's Creed III showing off the new tech behind the 18th-century adventure, Ubisoft-AnvilNext. The engine will power the physics, animation, and weather systems, with the trailer offering a bit of what that means for Connor/Ratohnhaké:ton.
Assassin's Creed III: Limited and Digital Deluxe editions detailed
Ubisoft has announced a Limited Edition premium version of Assassin's Creed III for 360 and PS3, as well as a Digital Deluxe Edition for PC. The console LE will retail for $119.99, and the PC DDE for $64.99.
E3 2012 – Ubisoft: ACIII Liberation, Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, ZombiU
Ubisoft has had a surprisingly busy E3 2012. From the return of Rayman for a new Wii U adventure to the open-world, open-ended action title Watch Dogs. And of course, there were zombies, assassins, and Fishers in abundance.
Assassin's Creed III announced, set for release later this year
Ezio might be through with his journey, but the war between the Assassins and Templars rages on. The next hotspot of the war is a surprising one: the Thirteen Colonies on the eve of the American Revolution. On October 30, players will get to try their hand (and blade) at being another of Desmond's ancestors, the half-English and half-Native American Ratohnhaké:ton. Donning the name Connor, the new assassin will fight the Templars in a battle that spans the Revolutionary War as well as the Colonies and the surrounding frontier.

We Were So Poor…
By Noel Black On March 14, 2012 · 9 Comments · In A Big Something, Economy, History, Interviews
After my grandmother died last month I had the somewhat daunting task of listening to and editing over 5 hours of interviews my mother conducted with her a decade ago. Along with the many familiar personal and family stories she told, I was also riveted by her many short accounts of life as a young woman during the Great Depression. While some of it sounds like the old joke, "We were so poor that…", well, they were really that poor! Each vignette, though seldom longer than a minute, manages to paint a stark and vivid portrait of the times sure to make you grateful that The Great Recession hasn't receded any further. Far from beaten down by her experiences, my grandmother remained an optimistic (if not understandably neurotic) and joyful woman who knew how to grab hold of a good time when it came her way.
Vegetables During the Depression
9 Responses to We Were So Poor…
Nancy Wilsted says:
Oh, that little Mama!
As a child I used to cry myself to sleep over the pink-centered candy. I wanted my mom to have the prize she never won. My pillow would be so wet, I would have to turn it over.
As the youngest of four, Mom (Bobbie) took a lot of teasing. She was tough, but there was one way her siblings could always get her to cry. They would insist that, unlike the others, Bobbie had not been born – she had been found in a cow pie.
Mom said that during the worst of the depression, she and her best friend, Shirley Bannon, were invited to a birthday party for the banker's daughter. They were so entranced by the cake that they positioned themselves underneath the cake table. The table cloth hid the two girls as they stealthily reached up for fingers full of icing. The banker's wife caught them and sent them home. No cake for Mom and Shirley, needless to say. I asked Mom if she and Shirley felt terrible about it. "Oh, no!" she said. "We thought it was funny and laughed all the way home".
Sounds like and episode of Little Rascals, doesn't it?
Ruth Adele says:
Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear that your mom died, and Noel's grandma, and the boys' great grandma. I'm glad you thought to get these stories from her to treasure forever! During this recession I've been thinking so much about my relatives in the Great Depression. It's amazing hearing these first hand stories. Good job, as usual, Noel! Love to all of you, Ruth
Noel Black says:
Thanks Ruth!
Janet Conover says:
Oh Nancy,
I didn't know you had lost your Mom. You had a heck of a year! I didn't know your connection to KRCC.
See you soon.
Sean says:
Now I'll picture your grandmother sitting next to the prettiest cake!
Carol says:
What treasures these conversations are! Thank you so much for sharing these sweet vignettes.
Brenda says:
fabulous- my "aunt edna' used to bemoan the old days- now I know she probably was telling the truth about how tough it was…
joyce cheney says:
Noel and Nancy,
What a gift to your family (and the rest of us) to have saved your mom's stories.
Jan McMillan says:
Annie and I just said goodbye to my ex-husband and father of my 5 children. After we've said goodbye to the last family members who have traveled here to attend Larry's memorial, we will sit down together and listen to these wonderful stories that Nancy was wise enough to record. What a wonderful gift to Noel and his family and to all of us who were so blessed by Barb's life. Thanks Nancy and Noel!

Current Residency
Enjoying a glorious week at the Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts 2nd annual Pentaculum. Artists in Textiles, Metals, Ceramics, 2D & Sign Painting gather for a week long residency. A great way to begin a new year!
Current Publication
Very excited to be featured in this book under the quilt and patch section, excerpt below:
"Colleen Toutant Merrill explores the quilt as cultural and historical artifact. Taking existing handmade quilts, she engages in revolutionary acts by removing sections, re-stitching, layering, inter weaving and leaving gaping open spaces. By then placing them as singular 'articles' in a fine art context we reconsider their role beyond domestic. The object is no longer useful so the value system changes. The artist inserts her own handiwork with the anonymous work of others, connecting the two across geography and time"

Installation Methods
The below work was most recently reviewed and criticized for its installation methods as a part of Maryland Federation for Arts' Fiber Options: Material Explorations exhibition curated by Aaron McIintosh. I have mixed feelings about the review, the author liked the work but found the installation methods to be unprofessional. This has always been a challenge with my fabric work; many do not like fabric to "hang" naturally and prefer some sort of framing or back support. I prefer to let fabric works hang naturally as did many fiber artists dating back to when samplers became popular in the early 1900's. What do you think?
A perfect counter to this review was the Merit Award I received for the same work! A gentle reminder that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Steve Wynn's Expensive Breakup
Two years ago casino magnate Steve Wynn and Kazuo Okada, who made his fortune supplying equipment to Japan's huge pachinko industry, appeared to be the best of partners. Okada had invested in Wynn Resorts in 2000, eventually amassing a 20 percent stake and serving as the company's vice chairman. Wynn had named fancy restaurants at some of his casino hotels Okada.
But in early February, Wynn Resorts pulled the name from the Las Vegas eatery and forcibly redeemed Okada's ownership stake after investigators for its board said the investor, chairman of Tokyo-based Universal Entertainment, allegedly made improper payments to Philippine gaming regulators. Wynn Resorts then issued Okada a $1.9 billion promissory note for his holdings, effectively booting him from the company. That's $870 million less than the $2.77 billion stock market value of Universal's Wynn shares. Okada told Bloomberg that he wasn't aware that Wynn Resorts had in 2002 amended its articles of incorporation to enable it to declare shareholders "unsuitable" and redeem their shares at a price determined by the company.
"They gave the board the report without letting me review it," Okada says. "Even criminals would be asked to sign off on the findings to ensure there are no mistakes." In a statement, Universal called the forced sale "outrageous" and vowed to "take all legal actions necessary." Okada says the redemption was in part a response to Universal moving to enter the casino business in the Philippines on its own and for a lawsuit Okada filed against Wynn Resorts in January. Okada sued Wynn in Nevada, demanding information about the company's HK$1 billion ($135 million) donation to a university foundation in Macau, home to Wynn's most profitable casino. Wynn's Macau casino generated 70 percent of its revenue, and it's seeking a land grant there to build a second.
Wynn Resorts says its probe—conducted by former Nevada Governor Bob Miller and former FBI Director Louis Freeh—found Okada violated U.S. law by providing free lodging and hospitality to Philippine regulators. Wynn executives told investors on a Feb. 21 conference call that ousting Okada was necessary to protect the company's gaming licenses. Also, Wynn in a Feb. 19 court filing said Okada violated its code of conduct for directors by competing against it.
Cristino Naguiat Jr., chief executive officer of Philippine Amusement & Gaming, the gaming regulator, said in an e-mailed statement that the agency under his tenure had received no cash or in-kind payments from Okada. The Universal chief visited the gaming authority in February and told Naguiat that the $110,000 in payments referred to in the Wynn Resorts investigation as improper were for business associates' accommodations, according to that statement. Philippine President Benigno Aquino III has ordered an investigation.
Okada on Feb. 27 told Philippine lawmakers that he'll continue plans to open his $2 billion Manila casino project by 2013. "I will be able to prove that all of the accusations are baseless and are lies," he said.

Lindsay Lohan Invites Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to Her Birthday Party, and Suddenly it's 2006 Again
Savannah Chrisley is counting her blessings after surviving a frightening car accident.
Hours after E! News confirmed the Chrisley Knows Best star fractured her vertebrae and experienced serious pain, the Atlanta-based beauty pageant queen broke her silence on social media.
"The past couple of days have been some of the toughest days for me," she shared on Instagram. "I got in a car accident early Monday morning because my floor mat had gotten stuck behind my pedals so I looked down for a brief second to try and get it out of the way and then I realized that I was headed straight towards the guardrails....I tried to over correct but it didn't help."
She continued, "What I do remember is going in and out of consciousness screaming for help and cars just continued to pass. It felt like I had been laying there for at least twenty minutes begging for help. And then a man stopped and ran over to me and got the police my way...so thank you to the amazing man that stopped and helped me as everyone else was passing. I have no idea who you are but thank you...I could never repay you for your act of kindness."
Earlier today, Todd Chrisley confirmed to E! News that his daughter is recovering after also experiencing several bruises and burns from the airbags. The healing process could last around six weeks.
"To all of you hurtful people that are saying that I deserved it and got what was coming for me...you need Jesus and I'll help by praying for you. And to all of those who are being supportive...I thank you very much. It means the world," Savannah shared with her fans. "While recovering physically I'm going to take time to recover spiritually and mentally as well. I want to be the best version of myself possible and that will happen."
She added, "We all make mistakes...all that matters is how we learn and grow from them. I truly believe that God has used this situation to open my eyes to what is truly important in life and to put my focus back on Him in order to live the right life and be unbelievably happy. So right now I just want to say thank you again...love you all."
As the reality star continues her recovery, she is reminded by one quote that she hasn't been able to fully understand, until now.
"The only way God can show us he's in control is to put us in situations we can't control," she wrote to her followers.
We're wishing Savannah a quick recovery.
