The Spec Ops series has been around since 1998 and was released mainly for the Dreamcast, PC and Playstation with most of the games being developed by Zombie Studios. The franchise has seen its share of successes especially with the first two games. Later sequels would become budget priced shooters and received little fanfare as a result. The series would go on hiatus for 10 years with the last installment being Spec Ops: Airborne Commando which was released back in 2002 for the original Playstation. The Playstation 2 version of Spec Ops would eventually be canceled. It's 2012 and in comes Yager Development with the latest iteration in Spec Ops: The Line. Does this latest entry revive the once popular franchise after the long wait or is this one MIA? Read the review to find out!
At the start of the game Delta Operatives Walker, Adams and Lugo are aboard a UH-60 Black Hawk while engaging several enemy choppers. Along the way there is a major sandstorm that hits the city and in the process causes their chopper to crash. Suffice to say things don't start off as planned. Dubai was once a symbol of wealth and opportunity is now a desolate and lonely place. As you play along you will notice that the struggle for survival isn't the only priority in this once wealthy city. Power and control is up for grabs and everyone wants a piece. Dead corpses, graffiti, visions of past actions and tough moral choices help push the dark story which is really well done. The journey was actually inspired by the novel "Heart of Darkness" which was written by Joseph Conrad in 1899. Here is an interesting tidbit. The developers actually traveled to Dubai before making the game.
The game utilizes a third-person cover based system that is similar to the one that is found in the Gears of War series. The levels are very well designed as well. Chunks of concrete, destroyed vehicles and walls can all be used for cover which comes in very handy. Certain cover can be destroyed which forces the player to keep moving. You can carry two weapons at once along with a grenade. You can also perform a melee attack. You can even finish off enemies when they are down on the ground. Commands can be issued to your squad to kill targeted enemies. Of course, injured squad members will need to be healed if they get injured. Powerful sandstorms make vision almost impossible during intense firefights. The game features 15 chapters and an epilogue. I was disappointed that I managed to beat the game in just 4 hours and 42 minutes. The targeting reticule gets shaky and makes precise aiming a major pain when trying to shoot enemies from a far distance. From a close distance that isn't an issue.
The squad and enemy A.I. are both impressive. Enemies will use cover and flank you. They will move out of the way when you throw a grenade. They are very aggressive and will take you down quickly if you aren't careful. Some enemies wear armor which makes it tougher to kill them. They also love to throw grenades so watch out. There is even an enemy type that is reminiscent of those found in Call of Duty World at War that charge at you with a knife. Your squad members are very smart with the way they take cover and shoot. You can even give them commands to kill certain enemies by targeting them. As good as the squad members are they will get hurt and will need to be healed like I mentioned earlier.
The game uses the Unreal Engine 3 and it looks really good. Character models are impressive as are their facial expressions. The damage that the characters accrue throughout the game looks pretty convincing. Cutscenes look good. As you play the game you will see dead corpses, executions and mass graves amongst the decaying city of Dubai. Despite this the game doesn't have a boring or brown colored palate. There are many areas that are colorful and vibrant. The ominously sand blasted city is given some life thanks to emphasis on sunlight and the crystal blue sky which is a visual treat. There are even sections that feature strong sandstorms. You will come across lavish lobbies, open walkways and extravagant elements that were once commonplace in Dubai. They definitely make for some really good gameplay environments. As I mentioned earlier there are several areas in the game that has the player fight enemies during a heavy sandstorm which isn't easy getting used to but is very impressive looking nonetheless.
I also enjoyed the game's audio experience. The sound effects are excellent with great set pieces that further immerse the player into the game. Bullets crush glass, destroy cover and thump sand. The way in which sand blasts and wind howls is amazing and it leaves a tingling feeling in the player's ear. Weapon sounds are awesome. The game's soundtrack is comprised of mostly rock themed tracks that do a great job of complementing the action. The game features some impressive voice work from some great actors such as, Nolan North, Christopher Reid, Chris Cox and Steven Walters to name a few. Radioman does the game's narration by way of loud speakers and uses humor, taunts and music while the player is engaged in battle. I also enjoyed the banter amongst squad members.
I really enjoyed playing Spec Ops: The Line. It does borrow the cover and shoot mechanic from the Gears of War series which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The game features a good story that is dark and gritty. I liked being able to give commands to my squad members to take out targeted enemies. The game was very short which, was disappointing. The shaky aiming mechanic was my major issue. The graphics were impressive. The audio experience was solid thanks to the terrific weapon sounds and solid voice acting. The enemy and squad member A.I. was well done. I didn't get the chance to play the multiplayer so I cant comment on that. I was really pleased with Spec Ops: The line and I would recommend it to anyone who likes playing a solid shooting game.

The phone looks hot and all but I'll never move away from AMOLED technology, its way too nice compared to traditional LCD. Also yeah it has some nice tegra 3 power, but the Galaxy Nexus is an amazing phone, I'll be holding onto it until the next Nexus.

It still doesn't have pure blacks like the AMOLED screens do, I'm sure the colors are vibrant, possibly just as vibrant as it is on our phones and the text and images are probably more crisp but I'm used to the true blacks that only AMOLED can provide.

Yea the Nexuses are future-proof alright, but those quad core phones still make me envious... Especially now that Nvidia keeps showing off their technology, say battery saving and touch sensitivity.
And what do you mean by consistent?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/2/2014 (1250 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK -- Traditionally, the American male was measured against the stoic hero who shook off all doubts, vanquished all foes and offered women a muscular shoulder to cry on.
But that was before feminism, gay-rights activism, metrosexuals. Husbands took on a greater share of housework and child care. The military welcomed women and gays. A romantic movie about gay cowboys, Brokeback Mountain, won three Oscars. And last week, the ground shifted under the hyper-masculine realm of America's most popular pro sport -- the National Football League, it seems, will soon have its first openly gay player.
Off the playing field, in their daily lives, countless men are trying to navigate these changes. For some, it's a source of confusion and anxiety.
"Men are conflicted, ambivalent," said James O'Neil, a psychology professor at the University of Connecticut who has written extensively on men's struggles over gender roles.
"On one hand they've been socialized to meet the old stereotypes," he said. "On the other hand, particularly for men in their 30s and 40s, they begin to say, 'That's not working for me. It's too stressful.' They're looking for alternative models of masculinity."
But for other Americans, the upheaval is a good thing.
"Ultimately, confusion about modern masculinity is a good thing: It means we're working past the outmoded definition," wrote journalist and blogger Ann Friedman in a nymag.com article last fall titled What Does Manhood Mean in 2013?
After the Second World War, at least on the surface, there seemed to be an overwhelming consensus of what American manhood was all about. It was typified by Gary Cooper and John Wayne on the movie screen, by the GIs on America's foreign battlefields, by the executives with homemaker wives and no corporate worries about gender diversity.
The feminist movement that emerged in the 1960s fractured this consensus and fuelled significant, though gradual, changes in perceptions of gender roles and stereotypes. By now, although women remain underrepresented as CEOs, they comprise nearly half the enrolment in U.S. medical and law schools, and are being welcomed into military combat units.
Over the same period, perceptions of manhood and masculinity also have evolved. Surveys show husbands are handling far more housework and child care than they used to, though still less than their wives. Soccer icon David Beckham proved a male sports star with a celebrity wife could embrace nail polish and flamboyant fashion without losing his fans.
"The women's movement showed that women didn't want to be restricted by their gender role, and it's opened things up for men to not be restricted as well -- they can be stay-at-home dads, they can be nurses," said Bonnie Grabenhofer, a vice-president of the National Organization for Women, though from her perspective the pace of change has been "agonizingly slow."
Fatherhood remains a key element in the discussion of masculinity, and there seems to be broad support for encouraging fathers to be more engaged in child-rearing than they were in the past. As evidence, Christopher Brown, president of the National Fatherhood Initiative, notes the military is investing more energy these days in supporting soldiers' roles as parents.
"Fathers are really embracing that broader role," said Brown. "It's become accepted that they can share more of the work, and more of the joy."
Among the growing (but still small) cohort of stay-at-home dads is Ben Martin of Brookline, Mass., husband of a physician.
"I'm going to do what's practical, what's right for my family," said Martin, 35. "I like to think of that as a trait that a lot of men would appreciate."
Still, Martin says he knows few other stay-home dads. "I get curious looks sometimes when I drop the kids off at school," he said. "It's a little isolating at times."
Gays, as well as heterosexuals, have played a role in the changing concepts of masculinity. Certainly, Michael Sam -- the all-American defensive end who last week told the rest of the world what his University of Missouri coaches and teammates already knew, that he was gay -- is already helping break down stereotypes about gay men. But there were many examples before Sam, including NFL players such as Jerry Smith and David Kopay, who came out after they retired.
"When it comes to gay men, the script is being rewritten," said Sarah Kate Ellis, president of GLAAD, a leading lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy organization. "It's a wonderful thing happening as the definition of manhood evolves, and it becomes more inclusive of more types of men."

Garlicky Chicken Wings
These sticky, crispy chicken wings have a nice kick, thanks to a simple chile-garlic glaze.
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 1/2 cup butter
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split
- Kosher or sea salt, to taste
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
- Vegetable oil (or other high flashpoint oil), for frying
How to make this recipe
Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Melt the butter and stir in the garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly browned.
Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chile-garlic sauce, apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened. Set aside.
Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry. Generously season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Dredge the wings in flour, shaking off any excess flour, and set aside.
In a large saucepan or deep fryer, heat the oil to about 375°. Fry the chicken wings in small batches until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Shake off any excess oil and place on paper towels to drain. Continue frying the chicken in batches until all of the wings are cooked.
Toss the wings in the garlic sauce and serve warm.

Telecoms equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent has swung to a net loss of €353 million ($463 million) for the first quarter of 2013, from a net profit of €259 million in the same period last year, when its earnings were boosted by the sale of its Genesys call-center business.
The company reported a narrowing of its operating loss to €202 million, from €290 million a year ago, with revenues creeping up by 0.6%, to €3.23 billion, over the same period.
The slight increase in sales was driven entirely by growth in North America, home to Alcatel-Lucent's biggest customers, with European revenues down by 10% and sales in the Asia-Pacific sliding by 5.8% between the first quarters of 2012 and 2013.
The vendor also suffered a balance-sheet setback, reporting net debt of €358 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared with net cash of €147 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.
In a statement, Alcatel-Lucent (Paris, France) said that restructuring charges, interest payments and tax had all contributed to the worsening of its financial situation.
"Free cash-flow remains a challenge," said Michel Combes, the chief executive of Alcatel-Lucent. "Strong focus will be placed on working capital management to reverse some of the negative impact incurred this quarter."
Combes took over from Ben Verwaayen as chief executive of Alcatel-Lucent on April 1 and is under pressure to formulate a compelling strategy for the struggling manufacturer.
"We are actively reviewing the Group's businesses and operating model to design the conditions for value creation in the future," he said. "I am looking forward to sharing the outcome in early summer."
Verwaayen, who joined the company from his previous role as chief executive of UK telecoms operator BT (London, UK) in September 2008, had failed to get the equipment maker back on track despite restructuring efforts and the sale of unwanted assets.
Like other established vendors, the company has faced a strong challenge from China's Huawei (Shenzhen, China) and ZTE (Shenzhen, China) in recent years, while the merger between Alcatel and Lucent that brought it into existence looks responsible for many of its problems.
The vendor has a plan to slash 5,000 jobs and €1.25 billion in annual expenses, but investors will be hoping Combes' strategy involves more than just cutting costs.

Children whose school came under fire for lining up pupils in order of skin colour have written letters in its defence.
Year 6 pupils at Oasis Academy Ryelands, in South Norwood, picked up their pens in protest against criticism of teaching assistants who asked them to arrange themselves "from lightest to darkest".
Some parents last month expressed concerns that the exercise, designed to teach children about diversity, was inappropriate, while ethnic minority groups warned it could provoke bullying.
But five pupils have written to the Croydon Guardian in support of their school, with one saying the lesson had been "blown out of proportion".
Jamilla Simpson, 10, said: "The children in the line were trying to show that when someone is racist to you it shouldn't matter because it depends on the inside not the outside."
E'lexis Stayman said: "It wasn't intentional for people to get offended and it certainly wasn't used to discriminate against the pupils – the people who took the lesson are extremely sorry and the year 6 class thought it was a one-off.
One of the letters sent by pupils
"They weren't ordered, they were politely asked if they could line up in colour order, meaning that the children chose to line up in that order."
Camari Catlyn wrote: "The year 6 boy pupils happily lined up in the pattern and asked the other teaching assistants if they could see what pattern they were in.
"The teaching assistants then explained that they should never look at the colour of people's skin, it's about what's inside."
Last month, the mother of a boy who attends Ryelands said one child had been "laughed at" following the exercise because he was "the blackest".
But pupil Lloyd Asher wrote: "That is absolute rubbish as I was next to the darkest child, who is a very close friend of mine, and nobody laughed at him.
"In defence of the teaching assistants, they were only trying to teach us a lesson that we will not be judged by our colour in secondary school."
Natalie French, deputy principal at the Albert Road school, said children were "upset" by reports of the lesson.
She said: "They wanted to write to give their opinions of the incident and their feelings about what has happened."
A school spokesman said a teacher had suggested writing letters when pupils asked how they could respond to the story.

Lipo, thigh lift, BBL?
Should I Get Treatment for Cellulite Before My Surgeries or After?
Doctor Answers 11
Should I Get Treatment for Cellulite Before My Surgeries or After?
Liposuction and cellulite
Hello. Good question with no real correct answer. I have done Cellulaze and liposuction in the same areas at the same time with very good results. I have also done Smart Lipo first then followed months later with Cellulaze. If you were to stagger them I would do the lipo first as you may get some improvement in shape with this alone or it may reduce the areas in which you are concerned about having Cellulaze. Hope this helps! Good luck.
Cellulite treatment, before or after surgery
Although cellulite treatment before surgeries can help, we usually reserve cellulite treatment- like LipoMassage by Endermologie for after surgery.

I would recommend you evaluate Cellulaze - a FDA approved one time treatment that utilizes a 1440 nm wavelength laser to accomplish 3 things: 1) melt away fat bulging out 2) break up fibrous septae (attachments) that create the indentations and 3) help thicken the dermis (skin) to prevent future recurrence. The procedure can take between 60-90 minutes and can be completed under local or just IV sedation (depending on the length of your procedure and number of areas being treated). To see your final results takes between 3-6 months. You can visit the cellulaze . com website to learn more about the procedure and find a plastic surgeon who performs the procedure near you. Best of luck!
Dr. Basu
Houston, TX
Cellulite treatment
If you truly have cellulite, cellulaze may be a good option for you. Cellulaze uses a laser under the skin to attack the anatomic causes of cellulite. It is a minimally invasive procedure that takes 1-2 hours and can be safely done under local or just IV sedation. It is an FDA approved treatment for cellulite and requires only one treatment. Hope this is helpful.
Dr. Sugene Kim
Cellulite treatment before body surgery
As far as body contouring surgery is concerned, just as in facial surgery, the structural work such as a tummy tuck, breast lift, thigh lift or arm lift is routinely performed as the first step in the surgical sequence. After six months, I will perform cellulite correction, if necessary. The latest technique specifically developed to treat cellulite is CelluSmooth, a three step process using a specific laser to disrupt the bands causing cellulite, melt excess fat and shrink the overlying skin.

Order of Body Contouring Procedures
Learn more: http://www.bitarinstitute.com/cellusmooth/
Cellulite treatment before or after
It's difficult to say with certainty without seeing you what the ideal course of action would be but you may choose to wait to have a procedure like Cellulaze for your cellulite until after any thigh lift, liposuction or butt lift procedures. Addressing issues of excessive fat or fat contouring as well as lifting the skin may already improve the appearance of the legs and cellulite to a certain extent that you may need less areas treated or possibly be satisfied without any treatment. ...Again, it's difficult to say in a generalized way since each patient is different and each approach is tailored to their specific needs.
Learn more: http://www.cellulitesurgeon.com
Cellulite Treatment Post Procedures
Thank you for your question. I would recommend doing cellulite treatment after surgeries to smooth out any irregularities and further tighten skin. Be sure to be treated under the supervision of a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon for best results and safest treatments. I hope this helps!

Senior Liberal
On hearing news of the resignation of two senior ministers, Mr Pyne said at the weekend: "This government is starting to resemble a scene from Downfall and the prime minister is presiding over a divided and dysfunctional government."
Mr Pyne said he was not comparing the prime minister to Hitler, but the chaos in the government was similar to a scene from Downfall.
"I'm not necessarily apologising to Mark Dreyfus, because his is confected outrage designed to get a headline," he told Sky News on Monday.
"But if anybody else has taken offence at that, well of course I retract the statement."
He called on Mr Dreyfus, who is Jewish, to apologise for comments he made in 2011 in which he likened Opposition Leader
Mr Dreyfus said his comment was "very specific" and related to propaganda techniques.

Straw studies Lawrence report
Sir Paul has said he will resign if personally criticised
Home Secretary Jack Straw has started studying the long-awaited report by Sir William Macpherson into the police investigation of the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence.
Mr Straw received the report on Monday night and will be the only person to see it before it is published next week.
A Home Office spokesman said: "The home secretary has received the report and is considering its recommendations. He will make a statement to the House of Commons and publish it shortly."
Monday's Independent and Daily Mail newspapers claimed Scotland Yard chief Sir Paul Condon is expected to be censured for reassuring Stephen's parents, Neville and Doreen, that the murder inquiry was being properly carried out without trying to establish whether that was really the case.
Black teenager Stephen Lawrence was stabbed at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London, in 1993.
No one has been convicted of the murder and the key issue addressed by the inquiry is why the case was so badly handled. It is expected to criticise 23 police officers.
Race relations change
Sir Paul is due to retire in January but has repeatedly said he will resign if he is personally criticised.
In an interview last week he said: "If I felt that anyone was saying that I had personally acted badly or dishonourably then I wouldn't hesitate to go."
The newspapers also say that inquiry chairman Sir William Macpherson has written to Sir Paul to warn him of the report's findings.
But a spokesman for Scotland Yard denied that Sir Paul had received formal notification that he was likely to be criticised. People criticised in such an inquiry are normally warned beforehand.
The report will also decide whether the Metropolitan Police force is "institutionally racist", the issue that dominated the 69-day public hearing.
Whatever the findings, they are expected to mark a significant change in race relations in the UK.

The second day was abandoned when high winds raised fears that the marquees in the hospitality area would be unsafe.
The event was due to resume on Thursday with the abandoned races added to the final two days' cards.
Managing director Edward Gillespie said green belt restrictions had affected plans for more robust structures.
'Greenbelt review'
"We're on the fringes of Cheltenham, it's a beautiful, beautiful site," he said.
"The greenbelt, as it happens, is up for review and consultation at the moment.
"It is a subject that we shall now take forward because it is ridiculous in the 21st Century that you lose a day's sport at the value that it is because it just blows a gale."
On the eve of the festival, strong winds flattened hospitality tents and blew over a starter's rostrum, damaging a fence.

SPORTS >>Devils up for tough game at Texarkana
Leader sports editor
It isnt the matchup that everyone invisioned for Jacksonville in the first round of the class 6A football state playoffs, but it isnt exactly what Texarkana had invisioned either. By at least one ranking, the third game down the brackets first round features the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in the state. While Texarkana coach Bill Keopple wouldnt have minded a different visitor for his first round, he takes a logical attitude into the game.
Youre going to have to play the best sooner or later anyway, Keoplle said. Thats the way its set up and thats the way it ought to be I guess. Well just take em one at a time. The story line for this game is driven by the contrasting conferences the two teams represent. Both teams are conference champions, but Mark Whatleys Red Devils tied with three other teams, and by rule, had to accept the four seed. Texarkana is the outright, undisputed supreme team from the 6A-South. However, even Keoplle admits that his league wasnt quite as strong as the East.
I think theres a lot of talent in this league, Keoplle said of the South. For whatever reasons, we have a bunch of teams that never could get it all together and they sort of underachieved a little bit. Whether we had something to do with that or not, thats hard to tell. Id like to think we did. Well find out because Jacksonville has played in a lot of tough ball games.
The fact that Texarkana coasted through its conference, including five mercy-rule victories of its seven league opponents, is looked at in opposite ways by the opposing coaches.
I think its a plus for us actually, Keopple said. We had some key injuries early and those big wins let us get our main guys off the field and rested. We have a lot of confidence heading into the playoffs. Were healthy, fresh and eager to get in there and get after it.
Jacksonville coach Mark Whatley looks at it a different way. My team is battle tested, Whatley said. I know my team, and I know my kids will fight through any adversity they come across. I dont know if he knows that about his team. Weve been busted in the mouth and weve fought back. They havent faced that yet, so they dont know just how theyre going to react when it happens.
Jacksonville runs an offense similar to some of the teams in the South, so it wont be anything new for the Razorbacks to prepare for. The difficulty the Hogs face is the personnel Jacksonville will take to the southern border. Weve seen the offense, but we havent seen anyone run it with the kind of tools Jacksonville has to run it with, Keopple said. The quarterback is big, has good footwork and can deliver the ball. And we sure dont have anyone in our league with the receivers theyve got, especially the King kid. Hes a specimen.
Keopple is also impressed with Jacksonvilles running back tandem of Justin Akins and Lee Robinson. He readily admits its the best duo his team has faced since playing Texarkana, Tex. In week one, but also believes he has the single best back in the state, and a pretty tandem himself. Dennis Johnson is a major division 1 talent, Keopple said. He got hurt against Central and missed our first three conference games, and that really helped us as a team I believe. It gave us a chance to get Derek Wesley in there, and he really played well. He came over from Texas High, and hes speedster. Theyve got Akins though, and hes right there with my two in the speed department. You have to know where he is.
Whatley agrees that those two backs will be tough to stop, but again, sees the scenario differently. I know his kid is talented, but I dont know his kid, Whatley said. I know mine, and Id take mine. Whatley is just as, if not more concerned with the Razorback defense. His offense still has not played as consistently as he wants, but his defense has made necessary stops all season long.
What stands out to me as that they can all run, Whatley said. As a whole, that defense can fly to the football. They are fast, fast, fast. Their defensive end is powerful and fast. He has the best bull rush weve seen all year and they move him around a lot. Were going to have to be more consistent if we want to move the ball on this team. Theyve put up some phenomenal numbers and they get games in control in a hurry. Wed better be on our game.

Finding a safe exercise routine for summer heat
You don't have to move your exercise routine indoors when the temperatures soar, but you do need to be smart about working out in the heat. Dr. Larry Durstine, chair of USC's department of exercise science in the Arnold School of Public Health, can talk about ways to adapt your routine to stay safe in the heat and humidity. Durstine, a past president of the American College of Sports Medicine, can also discuss ways to maintain your physical activity plan once summer ends. Reach Durstine at 803-777-7680. (Megan Sexton)
Being green about being green
Living green doesn't have to mean big lifestyle changes. In fact, many small changes can have a big impact, says Michael Koman, director of sustainability. Koman offers a number of simple tips to help anyone jump start a greener life. These include washing your car on the grass and using a phosphate-free detergent, putting reusable shopping bags in the car, replacing disposable plastic water bottles with reusable containers, unplugging phone chargers when not in use, and buying local, especially food, to reduce the pollution and fuel consumption needed to transport materials across the country. Koman will be available throughout the month of August. 803-777-5428; firstname.lastname@example.com. (Peggy Binette)
Backyard 101
Classrooms may be closed, and field trips are still months away, but opportunities for learning are as close as the great outdoors. The typical backyard, for example, is teeming with a wide variety of fascinating plant life, more than enough to fill up a summer for an inquisitive young mind. Dr. John Nelson, a professor of biology and the curator of the university's herbarium, can discuss ways parents can encourage their (possibly bored) kids to get out and actively learn. 803-777-8196; firstname.lastname@example.com. (Bond Nickles)
E-readers are changing more than summer reading
As summer arrives, people are beginning to take vacations and immerse themselves in cool bodies of water . . . and reading. Paper once was the only choice for books. Then audio books came along. Now, e-readers, such as the Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader or the new I-Pad, are changing that dynamic. Dr. Ron Brown, an assistant professor of library and information science, sees these personal technologies as changing not only our reading habits, but also how we interact with all information. Brown can discuss the impact that these technologies are having on personal privacy (corporations having access to what consumers read, search and buy), corporate pursuit of consumer dollars and on libraries as a hub of community resources and activity. 803-777-0446; firstname.lastname@example.com (Peggy Binette)
How to prevent your child from losing reading skills over the summer
For children, summer can be a lazy time of hitting the beach instead of the books. So, parents need to be on guard to assure that children don't lose reading skills. Dr. Pamela Jewett, an assistant professor of instruction and teacher education, says parents can do some fun activities, not only to prevent reading loss but also to improve reading skills before school starts in the fall. 803-777-2055 (Note: Dr. Jewett won't be available after July 16th.) (John Brunelli)
Family reunions perfect time for learning family medical history
Family reunions offer a perfect opportunity for relatives to share family histories – including medical ones. As testing and communication methods have progressed, people have more information than ever to share. Karen Brooks, a genetics counselor and professor at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, can discuss the best questions to ask to make the most of family gatherings. Reach Brooks at 803-779-4928, ext. 229. (Note: Brooks will be unavailable the first two weeks of August.) (Megan Sexton)

Kerry Kennedy, the ex-wife of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, was arrested in Westchester County, N.Y., this morning for allegedly driving under the influence of drugs, according to a report by NBC's Channel 4 in New York.
The station said a police report showed they got 911 calls this morning about a vehicle being driven erratically and that the white 2008 Lexus RS 350 hit a tractor-trailer before exiting the highway damaged and with a flat.
NBC said the car was found on a state road and that state police who responded determined Kennedy, 52, was driving while impaired by drugs -- a misdemeanor charge for which she was given a ticket. The station reported that it was told by a source familiar with the event that police found her passed out.
NBC said Kennedy's publicist, Ken Sunshine, denied that Kennedy was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Kennedy consented to give blood for analysis, the station said, with official results still to come, and is to appear in court July 17.
"Kerry Kennedy voluntarily took breathalyzer, blood and urine tests – all of which showed no drugs or alcohol whatsoever in her system," Sunshine said in a statement, according to NBC. "The charges were filed before the test results were available."

What's good Greenies and welcome to another tasty Tainted Tuesday from me, ThisBuds4You. Thanksgiving is this week, yayyyyyy! Time to throw the fuck down guys; I hope I don't gain too much weight but I'm gonna gain some. I don't count calories around the holidays, I pretty much eat whatever I feel like eating. That means tons of desserts, mac n' cheese and fattening shit like this awesome creamed spinach. This is not Popeye's spinach, it's soooo much better! Check out the cannamilk post found here to make the cannacream. Just substitute heavy cream for milk. Remember that the cream reduces a little bit when the cannabis is simmering away in it so add a little more than what you think you'll need (about 1.5-1.75 cups to make 1 1/4 cups of cannacream). Any questions, hit me up on my email or leave a comment below.
What We'll Need:
- 3 (10 ounce) bags clean fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cannacream
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons minced white onion
- 1 1/4 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach and cook until wilted, stirring constantly. Remove from the skillet and drain in a colander. Try to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onions; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and stir in the cannacream. Sprinkle in the provolone cheese and stir to melt and coat the spinach. Once the provolone has melted, stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue to cook and stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

I don't want to throw beer on your popcorn and potato chips today. But I want to share with you some information that seems timely and troubling.
According to a recent study, women trapped in Salvadoran sweatshops are paid 10 Cents to Sew $80 NFL football jerseys.
The jerseys have been sewn under illegal sweatshop conditions at the Chi Fung factory in El Salvador for at least the last four years, according to a new report by the National Labor Committee.
Often forced to work 12-hour shifts, workers were at the factory 61 to 65 hours a week, including 12 to 15 hours of obligatory overtime, which was unpaid. The workers were paid a below-subsistence wage of just 72 cents an hour, which meets less than a quarter of a family's basic subsistence needs for food, housing, healthcare and clothing.
An assembly line of 28 workers had a mandatory production goal of completing 2,300 NFL jerseys in the regular nine-hour shift, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The production goal was 255 jerseys per hour, which meant that each of the 28 workers in effect had to sew nine jerseys per hour, or one jersey every 6.6 minutes. The workers were paid just 10 cents for each $80 Peyton Manning NFL jersey they sewed. This means that their wages amounted to just a little more than one-tenth of one percent of the jersey's retail price.
"It does not have to be this way," said National Labor Committee director Charles Kernaghan. "If the NFL and Reebok doubled the wages, so the workers and their families could climb out of misery and at least into poverty, the direct labor cost to sew the Peyton Manning jersey would still be just 20 ½ cents, or less than three-tenths of one percent of the shirt's retail price."
"The $250 million NFL-Reebok licensing mega-agreement has done nothing to lift workers across the developing world who sew NFL garments out of abject poverty," said Kernaghan.
"We always knew they were cheating us," one Salvadoran woman told the NLC. "We knew they weren't paying overtime, but we don't have any other choice …many of us were trapped without any alternatives."
Any of the NFL-Reebok workers daring to exercise their legal right to organize a union would be immediately fired and blacklisted.
Cutting and running would only further punish the workers, who have already suffered enough. Reebok and the NFL should keep their production in Chi Fung and use their considerable power and influence to improve factory conditions.
"If the NFL showed half as much concern for human and worker rights as they do about the counterfeiting of their jerseys, this factory could be cleaned up overnight," Kernaghan said. "There is not a consumer in the United States who does not believe that if the NFL and Reebok really wanted to clean up the factory, it would be done quickly and correctly. If great athletes like Peyton Manning would speak out, it would have a tremendous impact."

After last week's fun and games, I was afraid the producers might do what they normally do and give us another meaningless filler plot. Not a bit of it! From the opening scene we're straight back into the season arc and it's even better than before.
Cole's storyline is awesome. It's edge of the seat stuff and, like last season's Belthazor episodes, Cole's inner struggle brings out the very best in Julian. However good the action, though - and it's an undeniably clever story - I am in two minds about Cole being possessed by the Source. On the one hand, it's great to see him with powers again; his blazing entrances are amazing and, let's face it, he was getting a tad boring as a mortal. On the other hand, it's the beginning of a tragic end for my favourite character and it hurts to see him so tormented.
Phoebe's spell is excellent. It's a fascinating use of magic and the past and future selves she conjures up are wonderful. Older Phoebe is a complete surprise: bitter, cynical and totally unlike her present self. Alyssa's reaction to her is spot on. Younger Phoebe is less memorable. Although the part is well written, the young actress clearly struggles with her lines.
Demon-of-the-week Kurzon (who makes up these names?) is very run of the mill and hardly comes across as worthy of being the next Source. The Seer is far more interesting with the way she pulls the strings behind the scenes. Much as I hate the two-faced cow, I hope they don't kill her off too swiftly as she adds a wonderful chill to the show.
This week also sees an important milestone for Paige, as she orbs from place to place for the first time. All in all, it's a great spell and another classic hour of Charmed: dark, gripping and, ultimately, very sad.

1Sex School (The Austrian International School of Sex, Austria)
Curious to know more? Well, all we know for now is that the school plans to provide theoretical and practical training. Courses such as the history of sex and modern sexual theory will be taught. A major chunk of the course, however, will be 'hands-on'. An entire semester at the school consists of five full-term and three special intensive courses. The cost for a semester is €1,400 which is roughly $1,850. According to the school's website, classes will take place at an 18th century mansion, which is about a half-hour drive from Vienna. The mansion has been redecorated to suit the needs of the school and is equipped with high-tech teaching rooms.
I couldn't find any information on what title you could get after finishing the course, but I think that nailing a husband would be guaranteed.
Note: our readers pointed out that this school turned out to be a hoax. It was made up by a facebook group called The BirdBase. The incident caused some furor in German and Austrian newspapers.

"This state needs jobs, and we think medical marijuana can stimulate the state economy with hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars," said Nick Tennant, the 24-year-old founder of the college, which is actually a burgeoning business (no baccalaureates here) operating from a few bare-bones rooms in a Detroit suburb. The six-week, $485 primer on medical marijuana is a cross between an agricultural extension class covering the growing cycle, nutrients and light requirements ("It's harvest time when half the trichomes have turned amber and half are white") and a gathering of serious potheads, sharing stories of their best highs ("Smoke that and you are … medicated!").

U.S. Will Recognize Somalia's Government
The U.S. will officially recognize Somalia's government after more than two decades, acknowledging progress there against Islamist extremists, a U.S. official said Wednesday.
The recognition of a Somali government will open the door for greater assistance from U.S. and international aid agencies, said Johnnie Carson, the top U.S. diplomat for Africa.

Specificity Vs Transferability
Tuesday 6 March 2012
by Louis Rogers
One key question in EAP is the extent to which language training should be specific to each students needs and how much should we focus on transferable language and skills development. Personally when I moved from a General English setting to a Business English classroom I found the transition to be a positive experience. I felt the need for the teaching to be a performance less of an issue as finally my students and the class felt like it had a very clear focus and purpose. I also felt the same when I moved into an EAP environment. However, the longer you spend in a field such as Business English or EAP you start to question exactly how well does this course meet the needs of my students? Specificity is after all a spectrum. So is a catch all EAP course really meeting the needs of our learners? Yet if we are to become more specific then how specific can we or should we go? Also which do we place more weight behind; specificity or transferability? Would we be doing students a disservice by ignoring the changing and varied nature of academic studies by making courses more specific?
ESAP or EGAP
It's quite a common debate in EAP as to whether we should teach English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP) or English for General Academic Purposes. Strong cases can be made for either. For example, there are general skills that are required in a range of academic disciplines such as listening to lectures and taking part in seminars. However, there are clearly vocabulary sets that are discipline-specific and genres of writing that feature more greatly in one field than another. So how useful is an EGAP course to our learners? And how specific should an ESAP courses be? Personally I tend to fall into the group that would argue for EGAP for a number of reasons.
Take for example a broad discipline such as Business, the Universities Colleges and Admissions Services (UCAS) lists more than 3000 courses at undergraduate level in the UK alone. Accountancy lists over 700 courses and can be combined with other subjects as diverse as Law, IT, Geology, Psychology, and Logistics. Obviously this is a very simple position to take but this doesn't even consider each degree down to a modular level. On the face value of a course title similarity seems at times obvious; however, at modular level it can become much more diverse. Even considering single honours such as, Real Estate can ask students to specialize in three broad areas; Finance, Law and Economics. How wide and varied would the 'specific' needs of these students be? It is also arguably the aim of many universities, and some even put it in
their mission statement, that they want to develop students via an interdisciplinary
Of course these arguments clearly don't negate the potential need for and importance of ESAP. Specificity enhances motivation and learning so where possible we should take steps to address this. For example, by providing support in wider academic areas such as Management, Law or IT – as many universities do. If we do go down the EGAP path we need to be confident that the language focus is actually broad enough and transferable enough across disciplines. Using for example Averil Coxhead's AWL and the Academic Keyword List developed by the University of Louvain. Or even just by simply talking to as many content teachers as possible to draw out similarities
between courses, as was done in developing the critical thinking syllabus in the DELTA Academic Objectives series.
I feel it is not an either/or situation. ESAP is sometimes held up as something we should aspire to and EGAP shouldn't be derided for being too generic. Both clearly has a valuable place in EAP, however, I feel an ESAP course should always keep in mind the interdisciplinary nature of academia therefore remain as broadly specific as possible. I would be interested to hear other people's view on the ESAP and EGAP arguments. I feel it's an interesting area for debate and fully expect a strong case can be made for both!

March 14th of that year the town was incorporated, bearing the name of Holyoke, Governor Briggs approving the bill.
Now I know very little of Holyoke, Mass., of my own knowledge.
For instance, he didn't say much at first about Mary Richmond, the Holyoke girl, except the rescue part.
The oldest house now standing in Holyoke was an Ely homestead.
The ridge forming Tom and Holyoke is, as has been said, composed of greenstone.
Holyoke, though two hundred feet lower than Tom, is more frequented by visitors.
It has a daily newspaper, the Transcript, which is the direct successor of the first newspaper printed in Holyoke, in 1849.
The three complainants were wealthy Holyoke merchants, and it was evident that the conductor stood in some awe of them.
During the rest of the journey, Morton, on Mrs. Holyoke's invitation, was one of the party.
Holyoke was originally a part of Springfield, and after 1774 of West Springfield.

Gingko tree in Yeongwol

Name of Cultural
Ginkgo Tree of Hasong-ri, Yeongwol
1,596㎡ (Protected area)
Designated Date
190-4, Hasong-ri, Yeongwol-eup, Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon-do Yeongwol-gun Gangwon-do
A ginkgo tree can be as old as a fossil.
Found in Japan, China and Korea, the gingko tree was introduced to Korea along with Confucianism and Buddhism from China.
In fall it produces beautiful leaves which are resistant to insect damage.
As ginkgo trees provide broad leafy shade, they are often planted in arbors or by roadsides.
The ginkgo tree in Yeongwol is assumed to be about 1,000-1,200 years old.
It is about 29m in height, and has a girth of 14.8m.
The tree was originally planted in front of Daejeongsa Temple, but the temple has long since disappeared, and it is now situated in the middle of the village in Hasong-ri.
This ginkgo tree is still used by locals as a resting place.
According to local belief, no animals or insects can approach this ginkgo tree because it was inhabited by a snake with supernatural power.
Also, although children fell out of the tree, they never got hurt.
Lastly, a long time ago, an infertile woman who wanted to have a baby prayed continuously to this tree and finally gave birth.
The ginkgo tree in Yeongwol has been well tended and preserved for many years, making it an important material for biology research.
It has been designated as Natural Monument (No.
76) for its protection.

As we remain at high alert for perhaps two more weeks (read JB Campbell here to catch up on that), I would like to give a taste of what we are fighting for.
After enough of us kill enough of the jews, we will have control of our country again.
Yes, there may then be some battles for power. Our educational efforts, movement-wide, are helping to prevent that or at least reduce that.
But here's the taste:
We would immediately remove and execute all jews of the media, and we would announce by every form of media that
All Debt to jew lenders of every kind Is Now Instantly Forgiven.
Do you think the hesitant, ignorant masses would then "see the light" and support us?
Houses, cars, computers, and everything purchased on credit would suddenly be fully owned.
Could we afford that? Certainly. With the money amassed by the jews that we will seize, we could easily afford it. Also, with control of the money system, which includes the money-creation system, we could and would operate that system for the good of our own people.
What would we do about the rest of the jews and the nonWhites wrongly allowed to enter and reside in our country?
We would declare open season on all jews. (Now is open season, but our new and very limited government would declare it officially.) Whites who kill any jews could seize and retain the jew's personal possessions for themselves. This means houses, cars, etc. But not businesses and not bank accounts. Businesses should be given to the employees, and bank accounts must be seized by governments, whether local, state, or national.
Other nonWhites will be ordered out of the country, given a reasonable amount of time to do that, and given a reasonable amount of help to do that. (One exception: the American Indians? They wiped out our White ancestors who were here before they — of the Mongolian race — came to America. And then a new wave of our ancestors conquered them. If we allow them to grow as a race, which they would under our medical care, education, and job creation, they would become a rival-race problem again. Unacceptable.)
On a previous website, I offered the idea that if nonWhites wanted to stay, we could simply limit nonWhites to no children, thus they would die out within one generation.
But that would not be a wise course of action. Why? History has shown that when our White people relax, we get too friendly and too generous with nonWhites, suicidally so.
The nonWhites must be expelled as part of our revolution, and once they are expelled, the revolution will come to a close.
That's what we're fighting for. Closure.
Peace will not come until enough of us kill enough of the jews and enough of all other nonWhites who choose to stand in our way.
This could happen very quickly.
Why not? Because not enough of our White men will man-up very soon against the infestation of jews. (Oh, how I would like to be wrong about this. Men, make me wrong!)
Nonetheless, We Will Win, but less quickly than we would prefer.
Do your share! Waiting is what previous generations did, and they left the heroic job to us. It is our opportunity.
We are the new makers of history.
Whites Will Win!
