The 1964 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1964, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the international date line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1964 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.
Seasonal activity
52 numbered tropical waves formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which 39 became tropical storms. 26 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 7 reached super typhoon strength. The season's 39 tropical storms is the most recorded tropical storms to form in the basin<ref>[1]</ref>. The South China Sea saw higher than normal activity in 1964 – between the years 1959-1963, the average was 3.2 typhoons to travel the area, compared to the 10 typhoons in the 1964 season. Two of the super typhoons, Sally and Opal, set seasonal records - Sally was strongest storm of the season, reaching a pressure of 894 mbar while Opal was the largest system of the season.
Five typhoons performed cyclonic loops this season; only two or three happen on average yearly. Kathy did a rare move by executing a second minor loop while undergoing the first loop. Another unusual phenomenon that occurred during the 1964 season was rapid degeneration of typhoons. Notable ones include Alice, Elsie and Cora which degenerated into tropical lows within hours. No apparent reason has been found to this rapid degeneration event<ref>1964 Summary of Tropical Cyclones (JTWC)</ref>.

produces less CO2 than fossil fuels. Of the fossil fuels (data from
Wright & Nebel 2002. Environmental Science: Towards a Sustainable
Future), coal is the big baddie. It produces almost twice as much CO2
as natural gas. Gasoline produces about 1.3 times as much as natural gas.
The nice thing about burning wood is that it can be much more efficient
than burning fossil fuels, especially if you're using an efficient wood
burning stove. The problem with all the other sources (alcohol,
canisters, esbit, white gas) is that it takes energy (often
petrochemical) and water to harvest it and to make it. When you're
burning alcohol, there's a net energy loss: harvest, fermentation,
distillation, burning. The distilling, especially, requires lots of
energy. Just think how the revenue officers tracked down stills during
prohibition. For processing esbit and natural gas and white gas, you
have the same problem. We're not burning the stuff exactly as it comes
out of the ground, we have to use energy (usually by burning oil) to
turn it into a usable form. And then there's the packaging and the
energy required to make and recycle it.
Now, the real problem with burning wood is: where did the wood come
from? Folks in Europe recently discovered this problem with their
palm-oil ethanol. Burning ethanol made from palm oil was great for
lowering EU's CO2. The problem was, it was increasing the planet's
atmospheric CO2. This was because Indonesia was (and is) cutting down
(and burning) tropical forest to plant palm trees for palm oil.
So, the point really isn't to plant trees, but to stop deforestation.
There is no way that new plantations of baby trees (or even 40-year-old
plantations of young trees) can capture and hold more CO2 than old
forests. It's not just the CO2 in the trees, it's the CO2 that's been
pumped into the ground as organic matter.
And let's face it, a plantation full of baby trees is no place to hang a
hammock. Baby trees are too bushy and too small. You'll end up
sleeping on the ground. And the ground won't be any good for sleeping
because it won't have that cushiony organic layer.

Rebels ask for more help against Gadhafi
Leader 'has more soldiers and equipment'
By Clare Morgana Gillis Special for
RAS LANOUF, Libya � The Grad missiles came flying in, shaking the ground in split-second succession, followed by a stream of trucks and cars that shot down the highway in the opposite direction.
Rebel trucks that held their position shot anti-aircraft artillery in the direction of the unseen tanks doing the firing. After the missile volley subsided, the troops split off into small groups to eat.
"We are civilians," said Adel Sanfaz at a checkpoint in Ras Lanouf. "I have a grocery store in Benghazi and five children."
"We just go back and forth. When he uses heavy artillery, we retreat," he said. "When he stops, we advance."
The advance part is happening less frequently.
Moammar Gadhafi's ground forces recaptured Ras Lanouf on Wednesday and moved within striking distance of Brega, inching closer to the rebel stronghold of Benghazi. His forces were wiping out the gains made by the rebels following the start of airstrikes against his forces by a coalition of Western nations.
Gadhafi's military advances came as his foreign minister, Moussa Koussa, flew to Britain and announced he was resigning from his post, the British government said Wednesday. A Libyan government spokesman in Tripoli, Moussa Ibrahim, denied that the foreign minister defected, saying he was in London on a "diplomatic mission."
Rebels in Libya pleaded for more help from the United States and other nations now sending in airstrikes under the command of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
"I ask NATO for just one aircraft to push them back," said Col. Abdullah Hadi. "All we need is air cover and we could do this. They should be helping us."
More is needed. Coalition members were meeting in London on Wednesday and said they had not ruled out providing arms and training to the rebels to prevent them from being overrun. The coalition is acting under a United Nations resolution to prevent civilian deaths.
"Gadhafi has more soldiers and more equipment," complained Sanfaz, who carried a Kalashnikov rifle and whose transport was a Toyota Highlander with anti-aircraft artillery mounted on it.
A van bearing giant pots of rice and beans was parked off the road, courtesy of restaurant owners in Benghazi. Hundreds of soldiers ate in the desert night, illuminated by the headlights of a few trucks. There was talk among them of poisoned water being left about, and of Gadhafi spies riding in trucks with the same flags as the rebels. Some slept in the desert, others in abandoned work camps.
"We just follow our feeling of where to go," said Abdulwahid Agoury, 28, an accountant from Benghazi who has been fighting since the clashes began Feb. 17. "There used to be a lot of commanders here, but a lot are dead now."
Agoury, riding with two of his cousins and a friend, said they organized their own command. The rebels seemed to be organized in small groups of relatives and acquaintances with one leader who decides the strategy in coordination with nearby trucks.
At a weapons depot where dozens of trucks lined up to prepare a counteroffensive, a group of young men identified themselves as mujahedin, the name Arabs use for "holy warriors."
Hearing the word mujahid, Said Abdulmanam El-Ruweity came over and said: "Not a mujahid! A revolutionary!" El-Ruweity, 42, said he came from Misrata, where he is a banker. He said he has been a guide or crew leader for the past 10 days.
"Mujahid means al-Qaeda. We are only for Libya, only for freedom," he said.

BERKELEY – During the last several decades, income inequality in the United States has increased significantly – and the trend shows no sign of reversing. The last time inequality was as high as it is now was just before the Great Depression. Such a high level of inequality is not only incompatible with widely held norms of social justice and equality of opportunity; it poses a serious threat to America's economy and democracy.
Underlying the country's soaring inequality is income stagnation for the majority of Americans. With an expanding share of the gains from economic growth flowing to a tiny fraction of high-income US households, average family income for the bottom 90% has been flat since 1980. According to a recent report by the Council of Economic Advisers, if the share of income going to the bottom 90% was the same in 2013 as it was in 1973, median annual household income (adjusted for family size) would be 18%, or about $9,000, higher than it is now.
The disposable (after tax and transfer) incomes of poor families in the US have trailed those of their counterparts in other developed countries for decades. Now the US middle class is also falling behind.
During the last three decades, middle-income households in most developed countries enjoyed larger increases in disposable income than comparable US households. This year, the US lost the distinction of having the "most affluent" middle class to Canada, with several European countries not far behind. Once the generous public benefits in education, health care, and retirement are added to estimates of disposable family income in these countries, the relative position of the US middle class slips even further.

Celine Dion
In a bit of sad news, Celine Dion's husband Rene Angelil has announced that they're no longer expecting a child.
The "Because You Loved Me" songstress, who was due to give birth in May, lost her in vitro pregnancy, and the whole family is heartbroken.
She's thrilled to be expecting her second child, and Celine Dion recently shared how being a mom has been more fulfilling than any of her professional success.
The "My Heart Will Go On" songstress explained, "You know, I'm not really a singer. My life is to be a mom. It is what I enjoy the most. I will take a chance with my music. I don't take risks with my family."
She's always thinking of creative ways to express herself, and at last night's Grammy Nominations Concert in LA, Mariah Carey definitely didn't disappoint.
The "Always Be My Baby" siren took the stage for a performance of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" in a show-stealing ensemble.
Taking part in yet another big music industry event, Taylor Swift was spotted hamming it up at the Grammy Nominations Concert last night (December 3).
The "Should've Said No" singer played the part of paparazzi darling, as usual, and she looked amazing in a beautiful purple Jay Godfrey one-shoulder minidress with glittery Report Signature peep-toe heels and H Stern jewels.
She's no stranger to the whole Grammy scene, and last night Christina Aguilera was on the scene as the Grammy Nominations Concert hit Los Angeles.
The "Ain't No Other Man" songstress was looking fit and fine as she arrived at the Nokia Theatre, sporting a shiny strapless Monique Lhulier dress teamed with a pair of Christian Louboutin heels and Webster jewels.
She had an uber-successful run in Las Vegas over the past few years, and now Celine Dion is back to touring.
The "My Heart Will Go On" singer was spotted in Johannesburg, South Africa during the first leg of her world tour earlier today.
She's had quite the run in Sin City during her tenure in the "A New Day" show at Caesars Palace. And now Celine Dion is moving on to the next phase of her life- concentrating on being a mother.
The "That's the Way it is" singer addressed the crowd through tears, "It's hard to believe that we've come to an end. It's a pleasure to perform for you, but I'm extremely passionate to be a mother."
Monaco, France was the scene for the World Music Awards last night. And it was an event to behold, honoring music's best in 2007.
As a newcomer to the industry, Mika made a huge showing, taking home awards for best-selling pop/rock artist, best-selling British artist, best-selling new artist, and best-selling male entertainer. Sheesh!
Stars of the music industry have descended upon Monte Carlo for the 2007 World Music Awards.
This year's offering is honoring Canadian singer Celine Dion and R&B queen Patti LaBelle for their outstanding careers.
It's that time of the year again. Time for the 2007 American Music Awards, that is. And this year there are plenty of categories embroiled in fierce competition.
According to the list of nominees, Beyonce, Justin Timerlake, Chris Daughtry, and Linkin Park will be competing in three categories each, while Akon, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Young Jeezy, T.I., and Carrie Underwood each have two chances to take home an award.

Shoppers Forge Ahead, Warmed by Early Spring
- Retail Sales for March increased by 0.8 percent. Ex-auto Retail Sales also increased by 0.8 percent.
- Retail Sales of motor vehicles and parts gained 0.9 percent, even as reported unit sales decreased.
- Business Inventories were up 0.6 percent in February; the inventory/sales ratio was stable at 1.28.
Weather was a positive factor for first quarter economic data. An early spring brought shoppers out of their burrows boosting March retail sales beyond consensus expectations. In the near-term, weather-related gains to monthly data tend to precede disappointing corrections later, as may have happened with the weak March employment data. However, over the long term, weather related gains may have some enduring benefit at this point in the economic cycle. When pent-up demand begins to be unleashed, after four years of defensive behavior, the economy does not represent a zero sum game. Gains in one metric, such as retail sales, tend to beget net gains in other metrics. So, while a correction in retail sales may be on the way in April or May, after a stronger than expected March, the positive feedback loop of a self-sustaining expansion is getting a little help by favorable weather.
Total retail sales for March increased by 0.8 percent, above consensus expectations of about 0.4 percent growth. Gains were broad-based, including a 1.1 percent increase in auto dealer sales despite the reported decline in unit auto sales from a 15.0 million unit rate in February to a 14.3 million unit rate in March. Ex-auto retail sales also gained 0.8 percent in March. Furniture sales were up 1.1 percent and electronics gained 1.0 percent. Building material sales were up 3.0 percent in what appears to a weather-related gain. Gasoline station sales were up 1.1 percent as gasoline prices peaked near $3.95 per gallon for regular unleaded. Clothing stores increased sales by 0.9 percent.
Business inventories increased by 0.6 percent in February, keeping pace with manufacturing and trade sales. Inventories will not add as much to 2012Q1 GDP as they did in 2011Q4. According to the April Empire State Manufacturing Survey, manufacturing conditions in the New York area are still favorable, but growth was not as strong as it was in March. The general business conditions index declined to 6.6 in April.
Market Reaction: Equity markets opened with gains that quickly evaporated. Treasury yields are down at the long end. Oil is down to $102.67/barrel. The dollar is down against the yen and up versus the euro.

Juniper Networks this week acquired Contrail Systems, a startup that makes controllers for software-defined networks, for $176 million in cash and stock.
Contrail was founded early this year by officials from Google, Cisco, Juniper and Aruba. CEO Ankur Singla served as CTO and vice president of engineering at Aruba Networks. CTO Kireeti Kompella had been CTO and Chief Architect of the Junos operating system software at Juniper. Kompella authored several Internet drafts and RFCs on MPLS, IS-IS routing, Layer 2 VPNs, OSPF, and traffic engineering.

Juniper was a strategic investor in Contrail earlier this year. Contrail closed a $10 million round of funding in July, led by Khosla Ventures.
The company had been in stealth mode and expected to release its product, a distributed controller that supports both BGP and XMPP, next year.
Juniper, meanwhile, was on the hunt for an SDN controller. Earlier this year, Executive Vice President Bob Muglia said Juniper is working with other industry players on an open source-based controller for SDNs that would be an alternative to proprietary offerings from VMware and Cisco.
It appears its found a controller, if not the controller.
We recognized the inherent advantages of Contrail Systems architectural approach and we are excited to take this next step to acquire and combine Contrail Systems into our team, Muglia wrote in a blog announcing the acquisition. We anticipate closing before the end of the year.
A Juniper spokeperson said the company would not make company executives available to elaborate on the purchase or Junipers overall SDN strategy. Juniper has been largely silent on an SDN strategy while rivals Cisco, Brocade and Arista have articulated broad plans.
The spokesperson said Juniper would divulge its SDN strategy early next year.
Jim Duffy has been covering technology for over 25 years, 21 at Network World. He also writes The Cisco Connection blog and can be reached on Twitter @Jim_Duffy.

Jacques Magazine "Sports" Issues More About Skivvies Than Squash
Whether it's the mesh thong, bralessness or excessive butt-to-wall friction that's convinced us is hard to say, but somehow we think that the Jacques Sports Issue is as much about sports as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is about competitive swimming. That said, given Jacques' tendency to celebrate all things buxom and nearly naked, the issue may very well provide exercise, umm, inspiration for some. [Copyranter]

Nicaragua's chief prosecutor Francisco Fiallos, in Miami, told local press: "We have been working all week with customs agents, preparing all of the evidence that we have, and we will definitely be able to announce this week the date of Aleman's trial."
Mr Aleman, 57, who left office at the beginning of last year, has been under house arrest at his luxurious ranch outside the capital Managua since December.
He has been accused of helping to embezzle tens of millions of dollars of government money for party political purposes during his presidency.
He faces several other charges of fraud, embezzlement and money laundering and is also accused of having defrauded the state television network of $1.3m.
Immunity ruling
Mr Fiallos told La Prensa newspaper that it would be a process that had various stages and different actions.
Investigations into the former president's activities are reported to have implicated 40 others, including members of Mr Aleman's family and 16 of his former staff.
Last week, a Nicaraguan judge ordered that Mr Aleman should be kept in prison while awaiting trial.
Criminal judge Juana Mendez said financial problems meant police were struggling to the provide the 20 guards assigned to ensure Mr Aleman remained on his property.
She ruled that a specially refurbished prison cell was suitable accommodation for the former president.
Mr Aleman's lawyers are reported to be appealing against the ruling.
The French news agency AFP says the Managua-based Central American Court of Justice is due to rule on Mr Aleman's complaint that he was charged while still enjoying legal immunity as a deputy in the Central American Parliament.
The government says the court has no jurisdiction in the case and a ruling, expected Tuesday, would be interference in state affairs.

Meet Me in a Minute: Lucas Yun, Animation Wiz
At the age of ten, sophomore Lucas Yun grasped the talent that he knew he was born to do. Animation. Today, he is one of the best animation artists in the school. As he sits on his computer, putting together pictures of various animations, while connecting everything into a wonderful array of pixels that depict a talent beyond measure.
Lucas' animation skills erupted when he was ten years old, but when asked 'how' he simply could not answer.
"Answering 'how' isn't really something that animators can answer easily. It's hard to ask anybody who does something that question because we just.. do it," said Lucas.
Lucas is skilled in various types of animation, such as 3D animation, traditional computer based, footnotes, and pivots. On his YouTube channel Yunguy1, Lucas posts various videos of his animations. One particular animation, a Starbucks "commercial" gained many hits and the comments on the video amounted to people declaring that he needs to be hired by Starbucks.
Lucas does not do anything for the school yet but he hopes to join the NWN as an editorial cartoonist. Lucas won an award for his animation making a tribute to a video game "Ghost Recon." He won $500. As for his future, Lucas hopes to continue with this for the rest of his life. He adores art; it means more to him than anything else. His parents do support him, but they also feel that he is wasting his time. However, Lucas thinks that he will only find happiness in doing what he loves to do.
"If someone were to take my ability to make things away from me, then that would ruin my life."
Lucas hopes to one day join a production company, such as Pixar, Dreamworks, or Disney. Until then, check out his YouTube channel.

Jak II
Review by LegendaryFrog
"Bigger and badder, Jak II is one of the PS2's best games."
It's not often that a sequel to popular game takes such a drastic change in style. The original Jak and Daxter was a pretty standard but very enjoyable platformer. It followed the standard formula of jumping and collecting, and with some racing thrown in for good measure. Jak II takes everything what was great about the original and times to by 10, and then to top it off, adds so many game modes into the mix it's hard to decide how to categorize it.
Gameplay and Design (9/10)
Unlike the open ended, original game, Jak II is completely mission based. You play levels not because you go there via exploring, but because you're told to. Most of the time you'll have a choice between 2 or 3 missions, but in the end you HAVE to do them or else you can't progress. While this make sense due to the every story heavy nature of the game, the natural progression found in the original and many other traditional platformers is gone. Is that a bad thing? No, it's just different from the norm.
The difficulty has been raised a great deal. While the original had it moments of hardness, overall it was a fairly easy game. There are parts in Jak II where you might have to try a dozen times to complete a mission. The original was short too. About 5 hours. Not Jak II. The first time thought it took me 20 hours to beat the game. 2nd time though, only 14.
At its core, Jak II is still a platformer, and much of the gamplay is centered on the standard concepts. As Jak explored Haven City, he won't run out of things to do, that's for sure. There's a lot to go over, so I'll split it into sections.
Platforming: The platforming elements in Jak II play identically to its predecessor. Jak can jump, double jump, swim, roll, high jump, punch, and kick. Nothing special here. Jak's jumps take a bit to get used to. You might find yourself missing easy jumps because you miscalculate how much distance Jak has to jump, which isn't as much what you would expect. You'll have to learn to time your double jumps, that adds a bit of height and distance. The same with he long jump, which requires a roll before the lump. The first time I attempted one I rolled into a hole.
Jak has 2 attacks, punching and kicking. A punch sends you in a strait line but a kick attacks all directions. Jak can also jump and dive into enemies. Although you might find yourself using the games weapons more often, using the hands on technique still work and sometimes even works better.
Jak can absorb small amounts of Dark Eco and transform into a beast simply called Dark Jak. As Dark Jak you wiz around the screen destroying anything that stands in your way. You can gain more Dark Powers by collecting Metal Head Skull Gems, but these moves generally are to finish off everyone on the screen and look fancy. Becoming Dark Jak is rarely needed, but if you Dark Eco meter is full and you're in a tight spot, it does help out.
An element mixed directly with the platforming is the shooting. Jak can now wield 4 different types of guns, turning the game into a 3rd person shooter. You equip your gun, simply press the appropriate D-pad button, or press R1 to fire the last weapon selected. The 4 types of guns, which cleverly, have the same color as the Eco in the first game, have different function.
The Scatter Gun is like a shotgun, having a wide blast radius but short range... perfect for close quarters. The Blaster Weapon is a standard single shot rifle. It can be fired in succession, and there's a neat trick if you kick an enemy then fire, you'll automatically lock on to a nearby enemy with the rifle. Mastering this will help you out greatly. The Vulcan Fury is much like a chain gun... it can wide out a great number of foes but it eats though ammo like nobodies business. Lastly, there's the Pease Maker... a relatively useless powerhouse weapon that only has about 5 shorts and fires balls of energy. This weapon is obtained late in the game and I never bothered with it.
Being the bulk of the gameplay in Jak II, thankfully the weapons work out well. There is no locking on and aiming, instead if your relatively lined up with your target, it'll auto aim in that direction. Ammo is scattered about the levels via crates, and you'll rarely be ammo-less.
Jak can borrow any of the vehicles, called Zoomers, in Haven City go for a joy ride, go on missions, or run over people. Aside from various side quests and the occasional mission that requires you using a Zoomer, the only point of using one is to seed up your progress though the city. Haven City is huge, and to walk would be insane. Why not hop on a Zoomer and get there quick? The problem is you'll be running into things a lot, and you'll probably alert the guards.
There are also several missions that take place in Haven City, and on most of them you'll won't to use a vehicle. These missions range from picking up money or transporting people to safe locations. If you cause trouble, you'll alert the guards. Staying to fight is pretty silly because there will be a never ending series of Krimsom Guards on your tail... even though they're aim is as precise as Stormtroopers, they're bound to hit you sooner or later.
At one point Jak obtains a Hoverboard. Once he has it he can use it whenever he wants, but mainly he'll be using it in areas with wide open spaces to chance and to grind on stuff. It isn't very deep. You can do some tricks, but it's just for show. (or perhaps to gain more distance.) Its fun, and it helps you get around faster, but aside from its usefulness in certain missions, it's not a big part of gameplay.
There are about 4 places in the game where you are required to race. It's probably my least favorite gameplay mode, but it plays fairly well. It controls much tighter than the Zoomer, .so it'll defiantly take a bit to get used to. It's pretty strait forward, the only special thing you can do is obtain powerups that give you a boost of speed. You'll also find out that it's not about racing, but finding shortcuts. It's not a major part of the game, but its there and it works.
The Titan Suit:
For a few missions Jak will require the use of the Titan Suit: a personalized mech unit that smashes stuff. The suit is slow and bulky... but it adds some verity to the missions later in the game. One little nuisance is it seems to have the same amount of health you do. You would think a body of metal would increase your defense a little.
Rail Shooter:
There are a couple parts where you fire a turret on a guided rail. It's a spoiler if I say more, so I'll stop now.
Mini Games:
Yes, there are a couple of mini games to play to. They require quick reflexes. I don't want to spoil what they are.
That's a lot of genres plopped into one game. The best part is that they all work. Very rarely will 2 successive missions be the same. One might be timing jumps on moving platformers, the next might be a free for all brawl with a dozen different enemies. They don't feel rehashed or similar to each other either. Even if you spend a hour on a mission, and your about to throw your controller against the wall... you still have the urge to keep playing because it's rewarding. Every mission beat gives you satisfaction, and you're treated to a cut scene that develops the story more.
Graphics 9/10
Definitely some of the best on the PS2. A great step up from Jak and Daxter, which showed its age a bit. Levels are huge, detailed, and full of life. Haven City itself is gigantic, with each of its sections looking different enough from each other so you always know where you are. Levels themselves are pretty standard: you'll be visiting your fare share of sewers and factories this time around. You'll also explore some spiffy looking Precursor Ruins and one of the most beautiful forests I've seen in a video game.
Character models are drastically improved from the first game. Every character in the game was a wide verity of emotions and facial expressions on par with some animated cartoons. New characters have a less kiddy look, but returning characters remain unchanged. Jak also sports long flowing hair and a goatee, as well as smaller eyes to give him a more mature look. It's surprisingly fitting.
Sound and Music :8/10
While the soundtrack remains close to the first game, there are a good deal of standout tunes. The themes used in Haven City are by far the most memorable, and you'll find yourself humming it when you're exploring. The game's music also changes dynamically when you take out your gun or hop in your Hover Board. It adds some nice verity.
Voice acting is also excellent. Jak now speaks, and his voice fits pretty well, especially with him more teenage look. The original voice actors from the first game return, and all the new faces have fitting voices.
Story 9/10
The original Jak and Daxter focused on gameplay, and the story was kept to a minimal. Jak II, however, is entirely story driven. You don't do things because you need to collect Power Cells to advance to another level.. you do things because they progress the plot.
Soon after the events of the first game, Jak and the game bring the Precursor gate they found at the Dark Eco Silo to Samo's hut. After some tinkering around by Keira, she is able to power it up. Upon its activation, a fearsome beast emerges and the land is overrun by gruesome creatures. The crew is sucked inward, and are separated in a bizarre vortex. When Jak and Daxter emerge, they crash land in a gritty city. They are confronted by guards dressed in red. Daxter escapes, but Jak is less fortunate.
Jak is taken prisoner by Baron Praxis, leader of Haven City. and is subject to Dark Eco torture and experiments for two years. When he's finally freed by Daxter, he finds he can transform into a dark creature, and swears revenge on the Baron. Will he ever see his freinds again? Will he gain control of his dark powers? And will the mysteries of the Precursors finally be revealed?
The story of Jak II is MUCH darker then he light hearted first game. Instead of goofy looking Lurkers we have the insectioid Metal Heads. No more happy go lucky mayors or fishermen... this time we have Underground resistance members and Crime Lords. It's also very funny most of the time. It's easy to get caught up in the story and characters, and the fact that there's a great game attached to it makes it even better.
Replay 7/10
This is a lengthy game, but once you beat it there's not much need to play it over right away. You can go around collecting Precursor Orbs to unlock secrets, but there's no counter anywhere so finding them requires ALOT of exploration and mini games. There's also a bug that can keep you from beaten the game if you like collecting orbs, so I suggest looking that up so you can avoid it.
I see only 2 problems with Jak II. One is that Haven City is nothing more than a glorified hub world... there's nothing to do unless a mission is involved. It rivals The Wind Waker for most bothersome travel times. Second, is the difficulty. In reality it's a pretty good difficulty, but overall there are times where its a bit unfair and restarting gets bothersome.
There is a 3rd, but its not a fault of the game really. Its the fact the first game was so drastically different. After about 20 minutes with Jak II it doesn't matter anymore because your so caught up in the story, but as it stands it's almost like it's two different series.
Overall 10/10
Jak II was one of the best games I played in 2003. It had everything I liked about a game: great graphics, story, sound, humor, length and challenge... and tons of verity and its fun to boot. It may have its flaws, but the good far outweighs the bad. And I knew I loved it when I drew fan art for it, something I almost never do for a game. Jak II comes very highly recommended.
And you know what's even better? Jak 3 is coming very soon... I can't wait.

Letters 10-25-2012
Keauhou Beach Hotel
A building more than bricks and mortar
I am writing in response to Tony Radmilovich's letter in the Oct. 23 paper.
First of all, since Mr. Radmilovich admitted he is not a long-term Kona resident, I forgive him. He clearly hasn't lived here long enough to understand there is more to a hotel — or any building — than bricks and mortar.
The Keauhou Outrigger has been the soul of this community, hosting more functions than this letter can list.
A building, like a person, should not be judged by its exterior appearance, but by its spirit.
I have lived here long enough to know this "rectangular building" probably should not have been built over the reef and so close to the fragile ecosystem. Nor should it be on the sacred land among the heiau.
But in the years it has stood on the coast of the Kahaluu ahupuaha, it has been such a part of the community that those concerns paled in comparison for many of us.
We do not love the Outrigger and mourn its loss because it is an icon of architecture. We are saddened for the role it has played in our lives, for the moments of music and cultural history we have enjoyed on its beautiful grounds, for the stewardship of the bay that the hotel has maintained.
Now all we can do is hope the demolition can be done without damage to the reef and the legacy of the hotel will be honored by Kamehameha Schools.
Jamie Pardau
Keauhou Beach Hotel
Gaining unemployment
This is in response to T. Radmilovich's letter. The hotels that he considers an "eyesore" were built in the 1960s and 1970s. The reason why the Keauhou Beach Hotel is "built with no respect for the vegetation line" is because there was no "vegetation line." Most of that landscape was installed along with the hotel.
Also, the reason those hotels were built is because this is a resort town and people needed jobs.
Which brings me to my point: Since when is being "architecturally and environmentally friendly" well worth someone's livelihood?
How is the closing of Keauhou Beach Hotel "well worth the gain"? The only thing "gained" is more unemployment and local folks worrying about how the bills will get paid — and how they're going to feed their families.
Mr.Radmilovich claims he is not a "long-term resident." Fine, then he should keep his opinions about Kona to himself.

Here's an interesting tidbit from the Associated Press today: Sen. Mike Delph, R-Carmel, author of the controversial
immigration bill, won't be there to vote on the bill if the Senate votes on it today or tomorrow. Why? He'll be
taking the bar exam.
Law school graduates are taking the bar exam today and Wednesday. In that group of recent grads – Delph, who is an author of an "Arizona-style" bill that looks to crack down on illegal immigration.
Delph expects one of the bill's co-authors to call the proposal for a vote today.
The man who has proposed one of the more controversial bills this session won't even be there to vote on it. Although unlikely, what if the bill didn't pass by one vote – the vote Delph would have cast if he had been present? What about the other bills that may come up for vote when he's gone? I'm not sure why a legislator would schedule to be away from session for two days, especially right around the deadline for bills to make it out of the Senate.
Here's another interesting tidbit – there's a chance Delph could have voted on this bill had the winter storm that hit in early February not shut down the General Assembly for two days. The original committee hearing was scheduled for Feb. 2, but it got pushed back to Feb. 9.

Listening to this makes me think that I really oughta revisit Earth 2. I wasn't down with that album when I first head it, but this is some rad shit. It's not drone but definitely something closely related (have a habit of calling it hypnodoom, myself), and it's still one of the finest releases in the sub-sub genre/niche that it's in.
Earth rely on a very simple premise here, which I will summarise as 'fuzzy guitar play riff lots times'. It's a very solid premise and some stoned as hell vocals on Revenge Pt 2 aside they do their best to hold onto it. Helps that the riffs are completely radtastic. "Drone doom" is often a genre that has little in the way of the latter, but man, that huge opening riff on the first track, doomy as shit bro. Awesome stuff, it's like someone took a random sabbath riff, slowed it way down and then just looped the everloving hell out of it; the fact that it segues into another sweet riff (then another one!) just makes it even better. Three riffs in a song! Hell yeah. Dark Angel, take notes.
I like how the drums on here are fake as hell, and although they are sort of necessary, you can definitely see that Carlson and whoever else was in the band had a pretty clear idea of what they wanted to do next. A preview of said "next" is in the fantastic closer, "Ouroboros is Broken", one of the best drone/doom songs ever released.
It's something that I'm sure most dudes in particularly slow doom bands have done from time to time- hit some fine green (or cheap green, for the students) and just jammed on one riff over and over again, until the high wears off or until things get too awesome to continue. I've done it with a friend for three hours at one point, and I'm sure Earth's original vision of Ouroboros was of a similarly epic length, but luckily here it's just 18 odd minutes of sweet riff and sweet leaf. It is freakin rad though, a real nice doomy thang, some gongs and that mechanical percussion creaking away, until we're left with the final few bars of the riff just repeating over and over again while some synths drone away in the background. Just completely numbs your head... a truly brilliant jam, for sure! The atmosphere has this strange mix between eastern mysticism and that whole desolate desert thing that Earth explored later on; just an exotic and amazing track all round.
I'd rec this to dudes looking to get into drone/doom, definitely, as aside from it being completely fantastic it's also relatively short, being an EP an' all, although Ouroboros is a bit of an inaccessible beast, being 18 minutes of one riff. Well worth getting anyway, definitely don't delay on this if you like weed and/or you're a big fan of real slow, hypnotic shit.

July 17: Notts Outlaws v Hampshire Hawks
Start time: 1pm
The Aussie knows we need to close the gap on the fourth from bottom Hawks and feels he can make a match-winning contribution on Sunday.
He said: ?I?ve been getting scores in the 20s and then getting out. It?s about time I put together a couple of big totals and I have felt the ball coming off the bat nicely in the past couple of weeks.
?Our one-day performances haven?t been very impressive so far this season. But our goal is to avoid relegation and in my time at the club, we?ve achieved the goals we set for ourselves.?
Hampshire stars Shane Warne, Kevin Pietersen and Chris Tremlett have all been selected in the Australia and England Test squads for Lord?s next week, while Director of Cricket Mick Newell has a full-strength squad available, apart from long-term injury victim Charlie Shreck, who made his return to the Second XI this week.
But Hussey has warned against complacency and added: ?Hampshire are a very capable team and we?ve had some close battles with them in the past. They?ve still got the likes of Nic Pothas, John Crawley and Dimitri Mascarenhas to call upon.
?We need the win and with a terrific talent like Will Smith coming in to the batting line-up, I think we can get the runs on the board to do so.?
Injury news:
Ryan Sidebottom came through this week?s Second XI match with Surrey safely but Newell has decided not to risk him with two crunch Championship matches to come in the next fortnight.
Will Smith gets a chance in the side after his star performances in the Twenty20 Cup and Anurag Singh is recalled after some good partnerships with Smith in the Second XI Trophy.
Singh, Swann, Will Smith, Fleming (cap), Hussey, Patel, Read (wkt), Ealham, Clough, Greg Smith, Harris, Footitt, Hodgkinson.

Discovery & Science Channels to Celebrate Neil Armstrong With All-New Special
This week, the sun set on one of mankind's greatest pioneers with the passing of Neil Armstrong. The Armstrong story provides a snapshot of a profoundly historic moment for the United States, when groundbreaking science and technology combined with an unmatched passion for satisfying curiosity. In celebration of Armstrong's life and innumerable contributions to space exploration, Discovery Channel and SCIENCE will air special premiere presentations of ONE GIANT LEAP: A NEIL ARMSTRONG TRIBUTE, featuring footage from Neil Armstrong's last public appearance. The feature also offers interviews with crewmates Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, and leverages special access to the Apollo 11 archives to take viewers through the complete journey - from initial training, to moon walk, to splashdown on Earth.
Discovery Channel will debut the U.S. premiere on Saturday, September 1 at 8PM ET/PT, followed by a special encore presentation on SCIENCE later that night at 10PM ET/PT. The special also will air across Discovery's international network portfolio in more than 200 countries around the world. ONE GIANT LEAP: A NEIL ARMSTRONG TRIBUTE is a co-production between Discovery Canada, Discovery Channel and SCIENCE.
Throughout the week, Discovery Channel and SCIENCE also will present special programming blocks to commemorate Armstrong and the history of space exploration with the following presentations, produced in partnership with NASA featuring exclusive interviews with key astronauts and engineers.
THE PLANETS (8X60 Series) on SCIENCE
Encore Presentation: 9AM - 5PM ET/PT
Where did the planets come from and how were they formed? Clues to the birth and evolution of the planets lie scattered throughout the solar system. Distance, time, and technology handicap the search for answers, but scientists are making progress.
MOON MACHINES (6x60 Series) on SCIENCE
Encore Presentation: 5PM - 11PM ET/PT
Forty years on from mankind's first steps on the lunar surface, reaching the Moon is still a metaphor for an impossible journey. In just eight years 400,000 people across America came together to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth. But whilst the astronauts who walked on the Moon became household names, the men and women who created the machines that made their journeys possible have been largely forgotten. Yet, from the impossibly gigantic Saturn V rocket to the fragile tissue paper lunar lander, the stories of these miracles of engineering are every bit as extraordinary as those of the men who flew them.
Special One-Hour Presentation: 7PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel
Narrated by award-winning Gary Sinise, Discovery will provide a special presentation of the NASA mission that changed human history forever. Supporting the Apollo 8 astronauts are the three men who have been selected to attempt the first moon landing - Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Two missions later, NASA is ready to go for the moon. But no one knows what will happen to them when they get there. Will the lunar module sink into the dust, will the crew be attacked by "lunar germs," will they be able to blast away from the lunar surface once the mission is complete?
U.S. Premiere: 8PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel
Network Premiere: 10PM ET/PT on SCIENCE
ONE GIANT LEAP: A NEIL ARMSTRONG TRIBUTE, featuring footage from Neil Armstrong's last public appearance. The feature also offers interviews with crewmates Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, and leverages special access to the Apollo 11 archives to take viewers through the complete journey - from initial training, to moon walk, to splashdown on Earth. The special serves as a definitive exploration of the legacy of Apollo 11 and the man who was first to step foot on the moon.

This month's Tots 100 – Homebase challenge was the garden – hurray! My hayfever is now over and I can finally get back out there and give my poor neglected garden some love. But for this challenge I decided to concentrate on the patio which was looking a bit rough and as it's closest to the house it's also the the most visible part of the garden. Our patio is old, grey, prone to weeds and frankly not like you'd see in a magazine. I'm forever out there trying to kill the grass that comes up between the cracks, and pulling weeds out.
There used to be pea shingle around the edges but the birds used to throw it around everywhere so I've replaced that with heavier slate stones and that's worked pretty well. It doesn't go everywhere and looks better next to the grey patio slabs.
I was looking for a quick fix solution for the patio – you'll see why when I post about my bathroom at the end of the week!. So I decided to 'dress' the patio to brighten it up, rather than do major work. Armed with my £100 voucher from Homebase and gardening obsessed daughter we headed off to Homebase and bought garden wood paint in Cuprinol Willow for the bench to give it another coat, some solar lights, a bird bath (Miss L thought they needed one) and lots of pots and plants to 'dress' the patio with. We also grabbed some pillows from inside and some bunting from Miss L's room to make a pretty seating area.
I went for a pink/purple/white palette as I thought it would tie in nicely with the green of the bench and the pretty duck egg pots I found in Homebase. If it had been earlier in the season I would have bought some veggies and herbs for the pots but the growing season is pretty much over for them now, so we only bought some Swiss Chard which will be a nice autumn/winter veg and it's still something for Miss L to grow.
I'm really pleased with how it's turned out, it feels quite tranquil out there now and looks a lot better from the dining room window. Amazing the difference a few pots and some greenery make. If you'd like some more inspiration about how to make a quite change to your home pop over to the Homebase Facebook Page

I might be wrong, but I think the idea of the fuzzy algorithms is to return
alternate suggestions. So they wouldn't return exact matches. As for why
you don't get suggestions, I'm not quite sure. Are these the only fuzzy
searches that don't work for you?

Final Table Chip Count
- Darvin Moon — 58,930,000
- Eric Buchman — 34,800,000
- Steven Begleiter — 29,885,000
- Jeff Shulman — 19,580,000
- Joe Cada — 13,215,000
- Kevin Schaffel — 12,390,000
- Phil Ivey — 9,765,000
- Antoine Saout - 9,500,000
- James Akenhead — 6,800,000
Darvin Moon sported a New Orleans Saints hat every day of the World Series of Poker Main Event this summer.
Why would a logger from western Maryland possibly root for a team from New Orleans? No reason, really.
"It is mostly Steeler fans where I live," Moon said in July. "And I wear this hat to mess with them."
The Saints hat fits well with Moon's run through the Main Event. A lot just doesn't add up.
Moon says out of the nearly 6,500 players in the event, he is better than maybe 100 of them. But entering the final table, he has a large lead with nearly 59 million chips.
"It's easy to play when you get hands like I was getting," Moon said. "It's just unbelievable. It's like a dream."
Moon's path to poker stardom certainly reads like a fairy tale. He won his seat in the Main Event after winning a satellite in a tournament in Wheeling, W.Va.
Traveling to the Main Event was the first time he had ever flown on a large passenger plane. It was also his first time to ever come to Las Vegas. "I never expected this," Moon said. "It's overwhelming."
Possessing 30 percent of the chips in play, it would likely take a monumental collapse for Moon not to finish at least in the top four. Moon says that won't happen.
He has no plans to change the way he plays poker and won't push around players with smaller stacks.
And who knows? Maybe Moon will become the most improbable champion in the history of the Main Event.
"If he walked out of the woods of western Maryland — where he's got no credit card, no cable, no online, no e-mail, no nothing — and gets eight-and-a-half million dollars, it's another microcosm of what the Main Event is," ESPN poker commentator Norman Chad said. "It's another unbelievable, improbable story where you shake your head and say 'Darvin Moon?'"
Carnival lasts all year at the Rio. With a float occasionally passing overhead and dropping beads while feathered dancers fire up the gamblers below, the Rio tries to keep its 120,000-square foot casino jumping with excitement. Special Brazilian mixed-drinks are also served throughout the casino. The hotel suites tend to be larger than similar priced rooms on the Strip and many offer excellent views with floor to ceiling windows.
The Rio offers some quality shows like "Penn & Teller" and "Chippendales." Many come to the Rio for the nightlife at the VooDoo Lounge, located on the 51st floor, or McFadden's Irish Pub on the casino level.
Others come for a bit relaxation at the Rio Spa or pool area and still others come to shop at the hotel's 60,000 square feet of shops. In each of these endeavors, the Rio attempts to make the experience a bit more fun and spontaneous.
The Rio also offers guests a variety of dining choices from all-American food at the All-American Bar & Grille to Gaylord India Restaurant for something a little spicier and even Carnival World Buffet for the indecisive.

Detroit is really playing poor basketball right now.
Vlad is going to help that Charlotte team, they're 4 games out of the #8 seed right now, with a pretty easy schedule remaining. They could be a playoff team, especially if they can move Felton for something decent.

Chicago Tribune columnist/ blogger Eric Zorn is a liberal, but from what I'm familiar of his writing, he's not a cartoonishly goofy one. So at first I thought his post today -- Coming out of the dark on Earth Hour -- was a bit of an April Fool's joke. But reading and re-reading it, it became clear to me Zorn was being serious, even as he invoked quasi-religious language to describe his joy in observing the sanctimonious green gimmick (emphasis mine):
Earth Hour was so cool.
I was surprised.
During the buildup, it all sounded a bit earnest to me — reproachful and grim.
But I went along, open-minded guy that I am.
A little before 8 p.m. we went from the attic to the basement making sure all the lights — even the computer monitors — in our house were off. We lit the dining room with a veritable funeral parlor of candles and set out a dinner that my son Alex, 18, and a friend had prepared.
It was a feast for the senses. The lack of artificial light made us extra sensitive to everything — each other, the food, the aromas, the sounds. It also caused us to realize how many lights we routinely keep burning in unoccupied rooms while we eat.
The front hallway. The living room. The kitchen. Nothing indulgent or luxurious about that. Just wasteful.
Religions have long recognized the value of brief, symbolic privations such as fasts, temporary dietary restrictions and periods of silence and isolation.
Such acts are supposed to remind you of what you take for granted, not make you feel guilty. They're to open your eyes, not rap your knuckles.
Maybe Saturday's sense of energy consciousness will linger and we'll start flicking off lights in empty rooms and shaming those who illuminate just for the sake of illumination.
But even if not, I hope this turns into an annual rite of spring, not just in volunteer cities, but everywhere.
I hope Earth Hour becomes a huge secular holiday, one when nearly all of us pause wherever we are to give thanks to Thomas Edison and to go on a little photon fast that sharpens our appreciation of the incandescent and fluorescent bounty of modern life.
How cool would that be?
