Electronic Arts has announced it will launch a third title based on the tactical cooperative shooter Army of Two next year.
Visceral Games, the studio behind action franchise Dead Space, will develop Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel. The game will also take advantage of Frostbite 2, the tech engine that powers first-person shooter Battlefield 3.
It appears Salem and Rios, the stars of the first two titles, have been replaced by private military contractors Alpha and Bravo, who work for Tactical Worldwide Operations (T.W.O.) The duo is placed in the streets of Mexico amid a massive drug war.
"Our goal with Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel is to apply our key design principles -- immersive, challenging gameplay, intense narrative and focus on quality -- to help improve a franchise we feel has always had a lot of potential," says Steve Papoutsis, general manager of Visceral Games, in a statement.
The game is scheduled to launch in March 2013.
Army of Two debuted in 2008 to average reviews, ours included, primarily because it's difficult to enjoy without a human co-op partner. Although Army of Two: The 40th Day fixed some of those issues -- and dropped those ridiculous air guitar solos -- the campaign was still relatively tame.

Those who stayed up late last night to watch the mid-term drubbing of the Democratic Party did so, no doubt, with champaign or tequila already on hand. The results of the 2010 election were, by all accounts, a foregone conclusion. From the absurdly self-important "November is Coming" signs so beloved by Republicans to the efforts Democratic candidates took to distance themselves from Obama, the writing was on the wall well before any of the races were called.
To hear the Republicans tell it, the 2010 election is a "rejection of the Obama Pelosi agenda" and a referendum on liberalism in America. That makes for a great bumper-sticker, but the facts do no support the right-wing conclusion. Polling data and exit polls suggest that Republican victories in 2010 had more to do with a fall-off in Democratic enthusiasm than anything else and, despite some fairly impressive Congressional pickups, no meaningful groundswell of conservative voters has actually appeared. It is not so much that the Republicans won the 2010 elections as the Democrats lost them.
A fine point, to be sure, but one worth making nonetheless.
In light of that, however, a curious political opportunity presents itself. Later on today the President will make remarks concerning the outcome of the 2010 election and, in so doing, set the tone for the Democratic party in the coming months and years. Obama could adopt a conciliatory tone and that would certainly be in keeping with the post-partisan identity he has crafted for himself, but while the President may be comfortable in that role, the facts of the election do not support that decision.
That is because the real losers of the 2010 election were not the Democrats, at least not as a political whole. Certainly the Democrats took a beating but the real losers were a subset of the Democratic caucus whose ranks were literally cut in half: the blue dogs - conservative Democrats who managed to pick up seats in traditionally Republican districts by capitalizing on frustration with the Bush administration.
This is not to judge the wisdom or folly of the blue dog strategy. Regardless of the outcome of the 2010 election, the strategy netted the Democrats some 54 seats they would likely never have won otherwise and those votes strengthened negotiating positions and padded margins in key legislative battles. Yet these moderate Democratic Congressmen and their seats were and are invariably tied to traditionally more conservative districts with thinner electoral margins and all the political baggage that comes with that. Many blue dogs voted against healthcare reform (not that the helped them yesterday) and other key components of the President's legislative agenda and in so doing they dragged the Democratic Party to the right and provided political cover for obstructionist Republicans.
Later today, when Barack Obama speaks to the results of the 2010 election he will do so faced with an incoming Republican House already pledged against the idea of compromise and based on such promises and the actions of the Republican minority in Congresses these last two years, President Obama can expect nothing less than total partisan warfare from the House of Representatives come January. In light of this the President can either choose to continue in the Blue Dog strategy - attempting to find common ground with an opposition that verbosely rejects the very notion - or he can depart from it and engage the Republicans head on.
It is a choice between the increasingly disaffected base of the Democratic Party which has watched its leadership cave and compromise on issue after key issue in an attempt to reach across the aisle and the moderate "what have you done for me lately" middle. Perhaps more directly, it is a choice between those who support the Democrats but didn't turn out in 2010 and those who turned out in 2010 but did not support the Democrats.
The easy choice, the smart choice, and even the mathematically correct choice (given the astonishing turnout in 2008) is obvious. What remains to be seen is what the White House will do.

BiaNews, 3/14/13
In a press conference at the China National Convention Center today, Beijing-based enterprise computing service provider Baihui Zongheng Technology announced that it is calling upon companies in China to "operate cloud computing services in compliance with the law." Baihui also released an open letter requesting that Microsoft provide proof of its legal authorization to operate Office 365 in China.
The letter claims that the Office 365 cloud service announced by Microsoft to prospective Chinese enterprise clients on February 28, 2013, constitutes a commercial website under relevant Chinese law, and calls upon Microsoft to provide evidence that it has received a license to operate commercial internet information services.
In addition, the Office 365 service is provided by Microsoft's US headquarters, making it a cross-border telecommunications service. As a result, Microsoft China should provide evidence that it obtained permission from relevant state organs to operate a cross-border telecommunications service.
In its letter, Baihui says that should Microsoft be unable to provide evidence that it is legally operating Office 365 in China, then the Chinese website for Office 365 could be in danger of being blocked, leaving service subscribers — including Baihui — unable to access the corporate data they have stored on the service.

This is a review of the literature available on data for the EROI (prior to this special issue) of the following 12 sources of fuel/energy: oil and natural gas, coal, tar sands, shale oil, nuclear, wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, wave/tidal and corn ethanol. Unfortunately, we found that few studies have been undertaken since the 1980s, and such as have been done are often marked more by advocacy than objectivity. The most recent summary of work and data on the EROI of fuels was conducted in the summer of 2007 at SUNY ESF and appeared on The Oil Drum website and in a readable summary by Richard Heinberg. This paper summarizes the findings of that study, and also those preceding and subsequent to it where available. It also summarizes issues raised by some concerning the findings of these studies and with the calculations within. While there are many who believe that such EROI studies are critical to understanding our financial and social future there seems to be very little interest by governments and industries in supporting this research or in using or promulgating such research as has been done. We view this as critical as our main fuels are progressively depleted and as we are faced with making extremely important decisions on a very meager analytical and data base, and with few scientists trained to cut through the reams of insufficiently analyzed energy advocacy saturating our media and the blogosphere.
In the 1970's ecologist Charles Hall coined the term "Energy Return on Investment" (EROI), with originally a focus on migrating fish (e.g., Hall [
EROI has more utility, in our opinion, because it allows the ranking of fuels and an estimate of the changing in their ease of extraction over time, which can also be interpreted as the difference between the effects of technology (which would be expected to increase EROI) and depletion (which would be expected to decrease it). It also should be linked to the economic cost of fuels (See King and Hall, this volume). One important idea is that as this ratio approaches 1:1 the fuel is no longer useful to society (except for the presumably rare case where a low quality fuel is used to produce a higher quality fuel). The original papers on EROI (e.g., Hall and Cleveland [
In fact, despite the growing interest in EROI, little new data are available today except for what is in this much-needed special issue. Most such efforts have been to refine the EROI for certain fuels, mostly petroleum based fuels, and to examine the utility of corn-based ethanol—which are discussed below—but there is very little information available in terms of a large body of work providing data on a range of inputs important to our economies. The first attempted synthesis was in a table in Cleveland
Oil and conventional natural gas are usually studied together because they often occur in the same fields, have overlapping production operations and data archiving. The SUNY ESF study was not able to update the earlier EROI numbers for oil and gas beyond one additional study by Cleveland [
Precise calculations on the energy inputs required by the global (or any) petroleum industry are difficult to produce due to limited data. Unfortunately, few countries make such information public or ensure quality control where available [
We are not aware of any peer-reviewed published studies available on EROI on non-conventional natural gas to date. The unpublished 2007 SUNY ESF study did estimate the EROI for U.S. domestic gas by analyzing data from a random sample of 100 wells in Indiana County, Pennsylvania in a "bottom-up" EROI calculation [
The 2007 SUNY ESF study also estimated the EROI of imported oil to the U.S. This is done differently from a conventional EROI analysis and is different for each importing entity. For the U.S. the EROI of imported oil (crude and refined) is measured not simply as the energy required to bring the oil to the surface as input, or that to transport it to the recipient, but rather as the energy cost of goods and services that must be used to generate the items of trade necessary to generate the foreign exchange (dollars) used to purchase the petroleum, that is to trade for that oil in energy for energy units [
The authors of this EROI study note that they exclude the interest paid on debts to purchase foreign oil. Including that cost presumably would decrease EROI. As can be expected, the EROI of imported oil to the U.S. is mostly a reflection of the price of oil relative to the price of general goods and services at that time (
Unfortunately, the 2007 SUNY ESF study did not include coal. However, there are previous studies that give some values. The first of these was conducted by Hall and Cleveland [
A subsequent study by Cleveland yielded similar patterns over time although the EROIs are much higher [
Tar sands, or oil sands, consist of bitumen embedded in sand or clay. It is similar to conventional oil except that it was formed without a geological cap, and thus is not sufficiently "cooked" geologically. It can be liquefied underground through the injection of steam, or mined at the surface, and then processed into liquid fuel called syncrude. The largest producers of syncrude are Canada and Venezuela. The reserves are enormous, but the extraction rate is limited by environmental and other constraints.
The 2007 SUNY ESF study used a "bottom up" approach to calculate the EROI [
The authors calculate an EROI of about 6:1 that is based mostly upon the direct energy costs of producing syncrude. Including indirect inputs reduced the EROI to about 5:1, and including the energy equivalent of environmental impacts and labor had only a marginal effect. Previous studies reported by Herweyer and Gupta calculated EROIs lower than their results, in the vicinity of 3:1. Reasons for the differences include different energy accounting methods or data, and most likely, gains in process efficiency realized since the earlier studies. Also, syncrude production is not only very energy intensive, but also a large consumer of water, which could also have a negative impact on EROI.
In 2009 a preliminary study posted on The Oil Drum calculated the EROI of producing syncrude from the new Toe to Heel Air Injection (THAI) method as about 9:1, with a range of 3.3–56:1 given different assumptions on the relevance of inputs [
Shale oil is similar to tar sands in some ways—both are very low quality resources of petroleum. Whereas tar sands are bitumen surrounding a substrate such as clay or sand with a layer of water in between, shale oil consists of kerogen fused directly to the substrate itself. If tar sands can be thought of as "undercooked" petroleum, shale is oil is that which is "overcooked." As it is more difficult to separate the kerogen from a substrate than to separate bitumen from water, it is expected that the EROI for shale oil should be lower than that of tars sands simply from a chemical point of view.
The SUNY ESF study did not calculate the EROI of shale oil. Instead it reviewed a number of studies from 1975 up to 2007 which had made some kind of EROI or net energy assessment [
Nuclear power is the use of controlled fission reactions for the purpose of producing electricity. There are currently 439 commercial nuclear power plants worldwide generally using variations of the same technology [
The authors note that the differences in EROI can sometimes be attributed to differences in system boundaries and technologies. However, overall there is a lack of empirical information on the subject. The three major drivers of nuclear EROI are the enormous upfront costs of capital required, environmental costs, and the grade of uranium ore available. At present, much of the ore is secured from dismantled warheads; a return to seriously depleted geological deposits could constitute a decrease in EROI in the future. On the other hand there are possible new, but untested, technologies using smaller reactors or even thorium that might lead to safer and higher EROI reactors.
Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable energies in the world today, although it still represents far less than one percent of global or U.S. energy use. Since it is renewable energy, EROI is not calculated the same as for finite resources. The energy cost for such renewable systems is mostly the very large capital cost per unit output and the backup systems needed, for two thirds of the time the wind is not blowing. As a result, the input for the EROI equation is mostly upfront, and the return over the lifetime of the system—which largely is not known well. For renewable resources a slightly different type of EROI is often used, the "energy pay back time" (EPBT). EPBT is the time it takes for the system to generate the same amount of energy that went into creating, maintaining, and disposing of it, and so the boundaries used to define the EPBT are those incorporated into the EROI.
Although the SUNY ESF study did not calculate EROI for wind they were able to use a recent "meta-analysis" study by Cleveland and Kubiszewski [
The authors found that the EROI tends to increase with the size of the turbine. They conclude that there are three reasons for this. First, that smaller turbines are of older design and can be less efficient, so despite a larger initial capital investment larger systems compensate with larger energy outputs; second that larger models have larger rotor diameters so they can operate at lower wind speeds and capture more wind energy at higher efficiencies year round; and finally because of their size, larger models are taller and can take advantage of the higher wind speeds farther above ground.
Aspects of wind energy which can lower the EROI include the location of manufacture and installation but have greater construction and maintenance costs as they can add to the initial capital investment of a wind turbine or limit the use of recycled materials. Also, energy storage and grid connection dynamics could potentially reduce EROI where applicable. Finally off shore systems would experience more reliable winds but have greater maintenance costs associated with them.
The use of Solar photovoltaics (PV) are increasing almost as rapidly as wind systems, although they too represent far less than 1 percent of the energy used by the U.S. or the world. Similarly, they are a renewable source of energy and thus the EROIs are also calculated using the same idea. Although there are very few studies which perform "bottom up" analysis of the PV systems we are familiar with today, we can calculate the EROI by dividing the lifetime of a module by its energy payback time (EPBT). Like wind turbines, PV EPBT can vary depending on the location of production and installation. It can also be affected by the materials used to make the modules, and the efficiency with which it operates - especially under extreme temperatures.
The SUNY ESF study looked at a number of life cycle analyses from 2000 to 2008 on a range of PV systems to determine system lifetimes and EPBT, and subsequently calculated EROI [
Factors contributing to the increase of EROI include increasing efficiency in production, increasing efficiency of the module, and using materials that are less energy intensive than those available today. Factors contributing to lower EROI include lower ore grades of rare metals used in production (from either depletion in the ground or competition from other industries) and lower than projected lifetimes and efficiencies, problems with energy storage, and intermittence.
The SUNY ESF study also examined passive solar heating and cooling for buildings [
Hydropower plants vary greatly in size and scope, and thus so does the energy output and necessary inputs required to build and maintain facilities. Large scale hydropower projects, usually involving reservoirs, are the best researched. Although there is much room for further hydropower installation worldwide, there are only limited areas in the U.S. for further development. For hydropower, the EROI is calculated the same as other renewable sources of energy, where the total energy output over the lifetime of the station is divided by the energy costs of creating and maintaining it. It is unclear if decommissioning sites are part of the analysis, which would lower the EROI.
The SUNY ESF study reviewed previous studies on specific installations [
Geothermal energy uses the heat within the Earth to do work by transferring the heat to a gas such as steam, or a liquid. This can be used to produce electricity or heat for buildings etc. The best suited sites are near plate boundaries and as such are not available to everyone. Currently, only hydrothermal resources are being utilized for commercial energy. These are where heat is transferred to groundwater at drillable depths. Enhanced geothermal systems also known as Hot Dry Rock (HDR) are thought to be able to exploit heat at greater underground depths where there is no groundwater although there are none in commercial use. Another theoretical system called geopressured geothermal could provide thermal energy from hot brine, mechanical energy from highly pressured fluid, and chemical energy from confined methane, but the specifics for such systems are unknown. In fact there is no consensus on resource base estimates for geothermal energy.
The SUNY ESF study calculated the EROI for HDR geothermal systems and reviewed previous studies on hydrothermal resources from 1975–1991 [
There is very little information available on wave or tidal energy due to its fledgling state in commercial application. Despite ongoing research and projects, attaining an EROI on wave or tidal energy systems is very difficult due to the small scale of the industry and also the fact that these systems are very site specific. The SUNY ESF study estimated that one wave energy project could have an EROI of approximately 15:1 [
The debate over the EROI for corn ethanol is probably the most documented of all the energy sources presented here. Most of the often rancorous literature has been about whether corn ethanol requires more energy than it uses (
In one recent study, Murphy
There has been a surprisingly small amount of work done in the field of EROI calculation despite its obvious uses and age. From this review it can be inferred that there are only a handful of people seriously working on the issues related to energy return on investment. As such it does not come as a surprise that the information is scarce and unrefined at best–although perhaps not in the case of ethanol. Additionally there is a great deal of rather misleading material presented in the media and very few with the training to cut through the fog or deliberate lies. We have presented what we believe to be virtually all of the data available until this special issue.
Since the 1980's the energy information required to make such calculations have become even scarcer, with the possible exception of some European life cycle analyses. This is a terrible state of affairs given the massive changes in our energy situation unfolding daily. We need to make enormously important decisions but do not have the studies, the data or the trained personnel to do so. Thus we are left principally with poorly informed politicians, industry advocacy and a blind but misguided faith in market solutions to make critical decisions about how to invest our quite limited remaining high quality energy resources. Our major scientific funding agencies such as the National Science Foundation and even the Department of Energy have been criminally negligent by avoiding any serious programs to undertake proper EROI, environmental effects, or other studies, while our federal energy data collections degrade year by year under misguided cost cutting and free market policies.

We would like to acknowledge the help of our reviewers in refining the information available here. Specifically we would like to thank Robert Kaufmann for his insights into extrapolating EROI into the future. We would also like to thank the members of the SUNY ESF research team for undertaking the task of accumulating much of this scarce information.

Amber Heard: Funny Joke from a Beautiful Woman
The 22-year-old bombshell from Friday Night Lights (and, now, The Informers) makes us manage to laugh at drunk driving
"Two drivers climb out of their cars after colliding at an intersection. One pulls a flask from his pocket and says, "Here, have a nip of whiskey to calm your nerves."
"Thanks," says the other driver, taking a swig. "Here, you have one, too."
"Nah, I'd rather not — the police will be here soon."
About the Jokester: Amber Heard had no intention of looking back when she left high school and her hometown of Austin at 16 with her sights set on Hollywood. She arrived in L. A. and was cast in a movie almost immediately. It was 2004's Friday Night Lights. She played a high school student. In Texas.
Now 22, Heard's film credits include North Country, Alpha Dog, and last year's Pineapple Express. This month, she stars in The Informers, based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis. The movie tells seven stories about the young and wealthy in 1980s Los Angeles. She plays Christie, a child of privilege who, as part of a trio of privileged misfits, experiments with sex and drugs and philosophy. In other words, she's graduated.

When your child is suffering from the miserable symptoms of a cold, it can be tempting to reach for an over-the-counter remedy to help make him feel better. But the fact is, studies have shown that cough and cold medicines to be ineffective in children younger than 6. And while the FDA hasn't yet issued a guideline for school-age kids, cold medication labels now say these medicines are not recommended for children younger than 4. Add to that scary potential side effects such as rapid heartbeat, convulsions, and even death, and natural treatments suddenly seem like a much better option.

How to Help Ease Your Child's Cold Symptoms

Be sure to talk with your doctor about your child's symptoms to ensure there are no concerns that she is suffering from an illness more serious than the common cold. Then, try the following natural home remedies to help your child feel better:

 Give him honey for a cough. Studies have shown that honey can treat coughs more effectively than over-the-counter medicines. Mix with a little warm water or put into some non-caffeinated herbal tea -- or even give it to him straight -- and you have an excellent cough remedy for your school-age child. (But be sure to never give honey to a child younger than 1 year old as babies this age face a risk of botulism from eating honey.)

 Coax him to have some chicken soup. This is one old-fashioned remedy that seems to have some merit. Studies have shown that components of chicken soup may help ease the symptoms of respiratory-tract infections. Even if your child says he isn't very hungry, try to have him at least sip some broth.

 Try saline nose drops or sprays. This natural remedy can help open up blocked nasal passages, making it easier for your child to breathe. But be sure to steer clear of sprays containing medications, which could worsen symptoms or cause other side effects.

 Make it easier for him to rest. Your child will be better able to fight off an infection if his body is well-rested. If he begs you for some time to play a videogame or a DVD, be sure to limit such stimulating activities. Encourage rest by darkening his room, playing some soothing music and even giving him a massage help him fall asleep.

 Try a cool-mist humidifier. Increasing the humidity in your child's room can help ease his congestion and help him breathe. Be sure to clean the humidifier to prevent germ build-up.

Other Tips to Keep in Mind

 Call your doctor right away if he seems to be having trouble breathing. The same goes if his cough doesn't go away after a week or his fever persists. He should also be seen by your doctor if cold symptoms last for more than 10 days.

 Be careful about dosing. If you and your doctor decide that your child should have some cold or cough medicine, make sure you use the dispenser that comes with that particular medicine. Using a regular teaspoon or a cup from another medicine bottle can give you an inaccurate dose.

 Talk to your doctor about medications. Be very careful when giving your child different medications. Some cold and cough medications can combine ingredients -- such as a fever-reducer and expectorant and cough suppressant -- so if you use that and another medicine, you could be putting your child at risk of an overdose.

 Never give your child a medication that is meant for adults.

 Remember to wash your hands frequently to avoid getting sick yourself and have other family members do the same.

With plenty or rest, and lots of TLC from you, your child will be back to himself in no time. In my house, I know my son is feeling better when he complains that he's bored -- that's when I know he's ready to go back to school and I can go back to work!

The difference between the fan bases of the teams involved in this year's World Series (I know, there's nothing "world" about it - spare me the diatribes), Philadelphia and Tampa Bay, can be summed up thusly:
Philly fans booed Santa Claus. Tampa fans discovered they have a baseball team about three weeks ago.
Angry bitterness tangles with clueless neophytes - coming up next!
To recap, Tampa Bay dropped the "Devil" from "Devil Rays" in the offseason and proceeded to turn a 180, winning the American League pennant after losing more than 90 games every year of its 10-year existence. Tampa (and Florida as a whole) is football country, and only has a baseball team because of a loud, moneyed minority that demanded one. The team has annually been at the bottom of the attendance table, and even as late as September, Tropicana Field was half full for a big series against Boston. The joint was jumpin' during the playoffs, naturally, as front-runners and bandwagon jumpers crawled out of the woodwork to proclaim themselves lifetime fans.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia is the quintessential long-suffering sports town. The last time a Liberty City franchise won a title, 1983, most of the young Rays weren't even born. That title was in basketball, courtesy of Dr J, Julius Erving, and the 76ers. The football Eagles haven't won a championship since 1960, the hockey Flyers since 1975. The Phillies won in 1980 and are now tasked with breaking the "Curse of Billy Penn". In 1987, the construction of a skyscraper exceeded the height of William Penn's statue atop City Hall, and the city has been title-less since. Hell hath no fury like a colonial scorned.
The quarter-century without a banner-raising ceremony makes Philly sports fans more hostile with each passing season. The booing of Saint Nick is a legend, and somewhat apocryphal - a young fan recruited from the stands to wear a Santa suit during another drab Eagles game in an awful 1968 season was booed and pelted with snowballs, true, but it was an expression of disgust at the team, not Santa or Christmas. But it is an easy shorthand to describe fans that mercilessly booed Mike Schmidt, Randall Cunningham, Charles Barkley and just about every superstar who has ever plied his trade in the city's arenas.
Therefore, we will be treated to much talk, mainly in the northeastern media, about how Philly deserves this championship way more than Tampa does. Well, to quote the great William Munny: "'Deserve's' got nothing to do with it." This match-up resembles the 1997 Series between the expansion Florida Marlins and the title drought-ridden Cleveland Indians. Everyone not from South Beach was pulling for the Indians, based on the fact that the franchise last won a title in 1948. But sentiment doesn't hit many home runs. The Marlins won in a thrilling seven-game series and proceeded to sell off anyone with a pulse in a moneygrab by outgoing owner Wayne Huizenga.
Tampa has much in common with the '97 Marlins, beyond sharing a home state. Actually, this Rays team is better, younger and more athletic than that Marlins bunch. They are better than the Phillies, too, having survived the crucible of the best division in baseball, the AL East, which contains the Red Sox, the underachieving but still potent Yankees and a solid Toronto squad. Their best player, Evan Longoria, is just a rookie, and stars BJ Upton, Carl Crawford and Carlos Pena are all on their first contracts. And that youngster who closed out Game Seven against Boston, David Price, only arrived in mid-September from the minor leagues. He is the league's next dominant pitcher.
Philadelphia is strong, led by slugging first baseman and probable repeat MVP Ryan Howard, smooth and skilled shortstop Jimmy Rollins and a good pitching staff fronted by ace Cole Hamels. Ironically, Philadelphia is denied the home-field advantage because Tampa Bay pitcher Scott Kazmir retired the side in the top of the 15th inning in the All-Star Game in July, while Philly closer Brad Lidge did not reciprocate in the bottom half. Because the AL won the Midsummer Classic, they get the precious extra home game in the Fall Classic. Say what you will about that setup, but it could prove to be the deciding factor, all because of one of the rare poor performances this season from Lidge.
Yep, I'm picking the Rays in a seven-game series that will conjure memories of 1997. And Philadelphia fans will have even more reason to hate sports, life, their very existence. And they'll do what they always do after another crushing loss - pop in that Rocky II DVD and watch Philadelphia's favourite fictional son whip Apollo Creed for the title.

More than six months after a rash of bomb threats shut down school for students, the Copperas Cove Independent School District is asking for feedback from students, parents, staff and the community in an online survey.
The survey, which is available at ccisd.com, features 24 questions and asks participants to rate the district's response to the threats in areas such as effectiveness, how well the situation was communicated and their approval of the overall handling of the threats.
"By providing feedback, you can help CCISD and other school districts respond effectively and appropriately to future incidents," the survey introduction reads.
The survey does not ask participants for personal information, but does ask them to categorize themselves as parents, teachers, CCISD staff, district administrators, students, first responders, law enforcement or Copperas Cove residents with no children in school.
The survey is being conducted by the district in partnership with Texas A&M University-Central Texas professor Coady Lapierre.
"We approached the district with the idea of conducting the survey," said Lapierre, an associate professor with the university's school of psychology and a Cove resident and parent. "Hopefully (Cove) and other school districts will be able to benefit from the findings."
In December, the Cove district experienced 12 bomb threats at its high school and two junior high schools, forcing the campuses to endure multiple evacuations and school-day cancellations.
The threats disrupted classes and cost the district more than $200,000, forcing it to shut down schools for three days. Copperas Cove police detained nine Cove teens, and all were charged with making terroristic threats.
When district campuses reopened their doors, students and staff returned to school with heavily increased security measures, including the use of metal detectors, search dogs, more security personnel and additional surveillance cameras.
"The survey is not only asking people if they thought the response to the threats was effective, but asks how acceptable those responses were," Lapierre said. "For example, if you strip, searched every person who came into the school, it may be effective, but it wouldn't be very acceptable."
Lapierre said the survey has gotten more than 400 responses so far, and will likely run for at least another month.

GSP Releases Information On Two Accidents
More information is available on two accidents earlier this week on the Toccoa By-pass.
The first one occurred Wednesday at about 3:15 p.m. at the intersection of the By-pass and Memorial Drive.
According to the Toccoa post of the Georgia State Patrol, the two-vehicle accident involved a 2005 Dodge Caravan driven by 63-year-old Jerry Wayne Hipp of Boiling Springs, South Carolina and a 2008 Honda Element driven by 44-year-old Doug Carlton Allen of Clarkesville.
Authorities do say that Hipp was taken to Stephens County Hospital, while Allen was not injured.
No narrative is ready yet on that accident, according to authorities.
The second accident occurred today at about 7:20 a.m. at the intersection of the By-pass and Georgia Highways 63 and 106.
The GSP states that a vehicle driven by 33-year-old Crystal Renee McCall of Toccoa was attempting to turn left onto Highway 63/106 from Highway 17 north, when it struck a vehicle driven by an unidentified minor heading south on Highway 17.
No one was transported for treatment of injuries, according to the GSP.

Kuala Lumpur (AFP) Dec 03, 2013
About 100 Malaysian tribespeople were forced to end a three-month blockade of a dam after rising waters threatened to flood their homes in Borneo, activists said Tuesday.
The state-linked Sarawak Energy company began filling the reservoir in late September, a week after some 100 Penan natives from seven villages began a protest on the only road to the remote, $1.3 billion Murum dam in Sarawak state, located in the northwest of Borneo.
"They have no choice, the water is rising fast so they have to get their belongings," Peter Kallang, chairman of the NGO Save Sarawak's Rivers Network, told AFP.
He said their homes were already being flooded before promised resettlement houses had even been completed.
Malaysian police last month arrested eight tribespeople blocking access to a dam which they say will displace them from their lands, amid increasing protests on Borneo island.
The Murum dam is one of a series of hydroelectric facilities planned by the Sarawak government as it pushes economic development in one of Malaysia's poorest states.
The Penans set up the blockade in September to demand 500,000 ringgit ($155,000) for the loss of their land, property and livelihood.
The 944-megawatt dam is expected to flood 245 square kilometres (95 square miles), and cause 1,500 Penan and 80 Kenyah natives to lose their homes.
Sarawak Energy had said relocation of affected natives was set to be completed by year-end and insisted that displaced villagers were being compensated fairly.
An initial sum of 15,000 ringgit per family was reportedly raised to 23,000, with Sarawak's chief minister Abdul Taib Mahmud calling Penan demands "outrageous".
Kallang said the protestors would continue with legal action against authorities despite being forced to abandon their blockade.
The building spree in the resource-rich state along the powerful jungle rivers has been dogged by controversy as activists allege massive corruption, while natives complain it has flooded rainforests and uprooted tens of thousands of people.
Hundreds of Malaysian tribespeople have also blockaded the construction site of the nearby Baram dam.
While Baram is expected to generate 1,200 megawatts of power, activists claim it will flood 400 square kilometres of rainforest (154 square miles) and displace 20,000 tribespeople.
Taib, who has ruled Sarawak for over three decades, has faced mounting accusations of enriching himself and cronies through a stranglehold on the state's economy, charges which he denies.

By Rebecca Binder '02
Some things about opera will never change. Black tie and long
dresses are still apropos at the New York Metropolitan Opera on Saturday nights.
The sullen, pierced teenager with baggy jeans, backwards baseball hat and hands
in pockets will most likely draw scathing glances as he slinks to his seat
(even if his seat is in the Grand Tier) for some time to come. But traditional
opera lovers will need to get used to the pierced neophyte, because the audience
for opera is not only growing, but also getting younger and becoming more diverse,
both economically and socially.
Despite the fears caused by ChevronTexaco's withdrawal from sponsoring
the radio broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera, opera in the United States
is in the midst of a resurgence of popularity in nearly every strata of society.
Far from being in danger of becoming outdated, a museum art form, opera is
enjoying a renaissance of sorts. New works are being written. New opera companies
have been established, and older ones are growing. And attendance figures are
strong, too: the opera audience is the only arts audience that has grown steadily
in the past 15 years, and it has also grown younger; the median age has declined,
with the 18- to 34-year-old age category having the greatest surge in growth.
"Opera has enjoyed tremendous growth over the past decade," says
Marc Scorca '79. And he should know: He is president and C.E.O. of Washington,
D.C.-based Opera America, a nonprofit organization that promotes the creation
of opera and excellence in the production of opera, as well as helping to strengthen
opera companies and developing broad and deep audiences.
In March 2002, Opera America, along with the Association of Performing
Arts Presenters, American Symphony Orchestra League, Dance/USA and Theatre
Group, formed the Performing Arts Research Coalition (PARC) to study public
attitudes toward the performing arts. "The act of going to an arts performance," Scorca
says, "where you see your neighbors and share a special moment with them,
where you learn about yourself and your emotional reactions to what's
on stage—that transformative power is central to why we work as hard
as we do in the nonprofit performing arts. So we wanted to discover how members
of the public ascribe value to this arts experience." To that end, the
coalition initiated a three-year research project that will survey public attitudes
in 10 regions. In March 2003, they published the results from the first five
areas: Alaska, Cincinnati, Denver, Pittsburgh and Seattle. "The
results," Scorca says, "are very encouraging."
The study found that the audience for live, professional performing arts, at
least in the five cities included in the project, was larger than the audience
for live, professional sporting events. (Scorca stresses the "live, professional" qualifier;
one televised Superbowl would cause the arts
attendance figures to pale in comparison.) Also, arts attendees tended to be
more active in their communities and are more likely to volunteer. The findings
that most stand out, however, suggest that the typical vision of the opera
audience as "old, rich and white" is becoming more a myth than
a reality. The PARC project found very little relationship between age and
attendance; middle-income households attend as often as higher-income households.
The only characteristic that seemed relevant, the study found, was a strong
relationship between level of education and attendance; well-educated people
tended to be more frequent attendees.
Why education? Nobody's sure yet, but the topic is begging to be explored. "It
may be an issue of exposure," Scorca offers. "During a longer period
of education there are more opportunities to explore the arts and do coursework
in the arts. That's something that needs to be researched."

Chinga La Migra Hacks Arizona Law Enforcement for Third Unprecedented Time
What "Chinga La Migra" calls "Fraternal Ownage of Police"
Arizona law enforcement cannot be sleeping well tonight, with the keyboard anarchists of "Chinga La Migra" ("Fuck the Border Patrol," in English) claiming yet another hack with a corresponding data dump of local cops' personal info.
I only say "claiming" because I'm still accessing the torrent. (Hey, I never said I was Julian Assange.) However, the CLMers (or "AntiSec," or whatever they're calling themselves for the moment) have issued a press released stating that the information is from various chapters of the Fraternal Order of Police around the state.
The site for the Mesa FOP is currently down, and so is Tucson FOP. Also, the FOP Maricopa Lodge 5's home page has been defaced with the CLM press release in red on a black background, and a video of Public Enemy's "Hazy Shade of Criminal" embedded there to boot.
CLM's release reads, in part:
Upcoming Events
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Francisco Giants
TicketsFri., Aug. 25, 6:40pm
TicketsFri., Aug. 25, 7:00pm
Dierks Bentley
TicketsSat., Aug. 26, 7:30pm
Phoenix Rising Football Club vs. Sacramento Republic FC
TicketsSat., Aug. 26, 8:00pm
For the third knockout blow against Arizona law enforcement, we decided to get destructive. We're defacing eight AZ Fraternal Order of Police websites and releasing a master list of over 1200 officer's usernames, passwords, and email addresses. Additionally we are leaking hundreds of private FOP documents and several more mail spools belonging to FOP presidents, vice presidents, secretaries, a police chief, and the FOP Labor Council executive directory and webmaster whose insecure web development skills was responsible for this whole mess. We're doing this not only because we are opposed to SB1070 and the racist Arizona police state, but because we want a world free from police, prisons and politicians altogether.
As the release notes, this latest hack-attack is the third in two weeks culling info from Arizona LEOs. The first two hit the Arizona Department of Public Safety, which has got to be glad CLM left them alone for a change.
I have to admit that CLM's success to date has been both impressive and frightening, which is likely the effect it's going for. When the cops can't protect their personal stuff on the Internet, it makes you wonder if anyone can.
Thing is, CLM's aim is scatter-shot and indiscriminate, as there are far worse police organizations in state to pick on than AZ DPS or the FOP. I mean, the FOP is no PLEA (Phoenix Law Enforcement Association), for instance. Everyone in this state knows that PLEA is an outright nativist, anti-Hispanic police union. By contrast, the FOP has a pretty good reputation.
Similarly, DPS is no Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, with Hispanic-hunter Joe Arpaio as the jefe. My guess is that the hackers are either outside the state and don't know the players involved, or they don't really care. The second being the most likely.
Of course, I'm not suggesting anyone hack anyone. Nor can I or would I condone such outrageous criminal activity. (Though I'll read the files, natch.) It's just that matching up CLM's anti-1070 rhetoric with its actions is a little difficult given its current targets. What's the point of going after cops who may just be doing their jobs?

Last Friday, the sitting president of Egypt – the world's 15th most populous nation — was exposed for calling Jews "apes and pigs." And he did it in a TV interview (in Arabic) in 2010, less than two years before he took office.
Needless to say, this was HUGE NEWS for American mass media! Only it wasn't. (Knock, knock, New York Times? Anybody home?) In fact, to be fair to the paper of record, not a single major outlet has covered it. Not AP or Reuters. Not CBS News or CNN. Not Time magazine or U.S. News & World Report. Not the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, or USA Today. Etcetera. And therein lies a story – a big story that this column can only begin to skin open here.

So for the past 3 Years I've been saying "They are charging us for STEAK, when all they are serving is GROUND BEFF!"
Finally they admit it.
Knowing the Mets,.this will be a disaster!

This is one of the reasons why it just "Does Not Pay" to be any type of plan holder any more. Seems this organisation sticks it to you time and time again.
You guys show faith, lay out a good deal of money, well in advance, only to be taken advantage of.
As long as this ownership is in control, the faithful fans will be at their mercy.
One thing is for sure this year at $iti Field, The plan holders are ALL stuck with tickets to "MEANINGLESS GAMES"!
I know a full season ticket holder who has been invited to take batting practice with the Mets. Not watch batting practice...TAKE batting practice. By September, some fans may even get to play second base as part of their plan.
there are plenty of things to blame the mets for but can't blame them for the weather. it was a played game and they are giving tickets to an extra game, pretty good deal if you ask me.
Nothing new - I remember getting tickets for donating blood during the last season at Shea, when sales were considered good.
The Mets do this every year even since the Shea Days...... they do an annual blood drive in front of the stadium and in return the donors get two tickets to select games
Thanks. I will report back to my co-worker, who is, of course, a Yankee fan and may have been just trying to get my blood boiling.
A buddy of mine received 2 free tickets last year for donating blood we sat 3 rows from the field in section 128.

Potato Tart With Zucchini and Radicchio
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr
Recipe by Chiaratot
I've made this gateau by substituting vegan wurstels with vegetables. It takes some more time but the flavour is just much much better. The original is in Italian, at www.veganriot.it.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs yellow potatoes
- 1 zucchini (or 2 small ones)
- 1⁄2 head radicchio (if possible the variety from Treviso)
- cornmeal
- olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 leaves sage
- black pepper
- salt
Directions See How It's Made
- Start by cutting the zucchini into thin slices. Warm some olive oil in a pan and add a cracked clove of garlic (so that you can take it out once the zucchini is cooked). When the garlic has browned a little add the zucchini slices, cover the pan and stew them and add salt. Add water if needed.
- Cut the radicchio into thin stripes and follow the same procedure as to stew the zucchini, adding together with the garlic two leaves of sage. Do not let burn, the radicchio takes a short time to stew.
- Meanwhile (I usually do this when starting stewing the zucchini), peel the potatoes and boil them in salt water until they're tender. Strain and smash them - make sure there are no big lumps.
- Add the stewed zucchini and chicory to the mashed potatoes, together with some olive oil, black pepper and some salt if needed, then mix all the ingredients together.
- Cover the bottom of a baking pan with oil and sprinkle cornmeal on it. Pour the mixture in the baking pan and level the surface, pour some oil on it.
- Put the baking pan in pre-heated oven at about 430°F and cook for about 20 minutes.
- Serve warm - wait some minutes after taking it out of the oven.

Willow & Paul
May 19
Lake Eden, Black Mountain, North Carolina
From our Q&A with the Bride:
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
My husband, Paul, and I wanted a venue that showed off the natural beauty of the area, so our guests, who were all traveling from out of town, would really be able to feel outside of their everyday. We also wanted a blank canvas that we could make our own and a venue with at least some lodging on site. My family and oldest friends are mostly from the Chicago area, Paul's are largely from New Jersey, and we live in Brooklyn. It's not very common for everyone we love to be in the same place at the same time, and we wanted to provide the stage for that kind of togetherness.

Awaiting Home Connection
Yesterday I got a phone call from Vivodi. Looks like today a technician should show up at my home, installing ADSL (a meager 256/128k line) and phone service. It's been a looooong time that I had proper Internet access at home. Now of course there is still the chance that the technician will say something like "Oh, your [something] is not [like I expected | as it should be | as we always do it | the way I like it] here. And besided I did not have coffee yet. I will come back next month." So let's cross fingers and see what we get.
Next step will then be: How to get the connection to all the flatmates and to my room (which is on the other end of the flat from the likely location of the connection). Wireless? Ethernet over power line? Stringing a cable? We'll see.

From my mailbox
On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 1:11 PM, Cxxxxxx Cxxxx
Dear Mr. Suprynowicz,
I am a 13 year old boy who attends a school in Connecticut, fairly close to where the Newtown tragedy occured. I have also read your book, Send in the Waco Killers. My father and I happen to agree on your ideas of government tyranny and how the country should be run as we have for a long time, even before Obama was elected.
The reason I am emailing you today is in concern of one of my teachers at the school I attend. He says that assault rifles should be banned and the sacred 2nd Amendment is just "an excuse for modern day killers" to own own weapons. I have thought about challenging him on the topic during class, but I have failed to do this because of the fact that he would most likely give me a hard time about it and disgrace me in front of my peers. Moreover, this teacher is influencing students to become pro-gun controlists by reading articles of daily shootings to the class.
I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to deal with this problem and persuade my classmates to oppose his ideas.
Hi, Cxxxxx —
Thanks for your very articulate letter.
I have found it's indeed true that as we grow older, we also grow more wise (not always in a straight line, but eventually.) 🙂
When I was 25, I thought I knew everything, and I would probably have told you just what to do.
Now that I'm a lot older than that, I've come to realize I can't possibly know enough about your circumstances to tell you "just what to do."
For one thing, this is not the only issue where this problem is likely to crop up. The longer you spend in school, the more often you're going to encounter people who abuse that position of trust and authority to promote their own political views (though they rarely look at it that way). If it's not guns, it'll soon be taxes, or "well-meaning" regulations that cause jobs to be lost by driving employers out of business.
You need to discuss this problem with your parents. Is the atmosphere at your current school such that you'll prompt a healthy debate if you try to introduce a different perspective, or will you merely be treated as a troublemaker? No young person has an obligation to society to make his or her own life a misery, if it's not going to actually accomplish much.
On the other hand, any honest teacher should welcome a balanced, thoughtful, and well-researched paper, even if it doesn't exactly match his own views.
Your parents might be willing to speak to the school's administrators to see if they're aware of the way this employee is using his position to push his own political views. Of course, if his superiors agree with him, that might not accomplish much, either. And it wouldn't be likely to make him any friendlier.
At the very least, you're far ahead of the crowd if you realize not everything you hear from "authority figures" is necessarily true. But you don't always have to tell people every time they're wrong. They won't thank you, and it's exhausting to feel like you're going to war every day.
Instead, it's OK to hold your tongue and "pick your battles." They can't control what you read or who you discuss things with when you're OUT of school. The best "revenge" can be getting yourself a good education in spite of them.
Dr. Miguel Faria just posted an interesting article on this topic. See
or http://www.haciendapub.com/articles/shooting-rampages-mental-health-and-sensationalization-violence, the views of a medical doctor whose family fled here from Cuba in search of freedom.
Best Wishes, and thanks for writing,
— Vin Suprynowicz

how much sensation is lost in the nipple with a reduction, see i really enjoy having my nipples manipulated during sexual activities and am worried that i will loose all feeling and sensation which would end my sexual enjoyment.
I Am a 53 Yo Male Who Has Large Protruding Nipples and Considering a Reduction? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Protruding nipples
The correction of protruding nipples for both males and females is a fairly easy procedure. I often do this procedure under local anesthesia in my office. I have never had a patient complain of loss of sensitivity from this procedure. Although loss of sensitivity is a risk, it would be extremely rare.
Nipple Reduction and Loss of Sensation?
Thank you for the question.
The potential loss of nipple sensation after nipple reduction is low; however, if this loss would "end your sexual enjoyment", it seems obvious that you should not proceed with this type of surgery.
Best wishes.

Nipple reduction and Nipple sensation
Most the time nipple sensation is maintained after nipple reduction. If there is a change in sensation, either too much or too little, it tends to return to normal over several months. Sometimes sesation is lost and remains lost. The risk depends on the amount of reduction needed, the technique used and your particular anatomy. The only way to guarantee no changes in sensation is too avoid surgery. While the odds are good for retaining normal sensation, there is no way to know the outcome until after the procedure is done.

Polone says he informed Fox executives Peter Rice and Kevin Reilly of the deal this morning and the conversations were "gracious."
For only with that knowledge would they have had enough information to make an informed—and, no doubt, sophisticated—decision.

Milke testified she didn't know Christopher had died until Saldate informed her of his death in an interrogation room.
An "informed" source tells TMZ that the drug in question is apparently weed, which, yep…makes sense.

Michigan running back Fitzgerald Toussaint pleaded guilty Tuesday to drunken driving while his availability for Saturday night's showdown with No. 2 Alabama remained unknown.
Toussaint made a brief appearance in Washtenaw County District Court, pleading guilty to operating a vehicle while visibly impaired after being charged with the more serious operating while intoxicated. He faces up to 93 days in jail when he is sentenced Oct. 23, just after Michigan hosts Michigan State and prior to its game at Nebraska.

Mississippi State has disassociated from an athletics booster because of "impermissible contact" with a prospective student-athlete.
The booster's name was redacted from documents provided to The Associated Press after a Freedom of Information Act request. Mississippi State announced last week that it is cooperating with the NCAA because of a "potential recruiting irregularity."

Well yes obviously, or else we wouldn't have just saw this.
I like the film. I'm just wonderring who is it for. i mean...does tropicana have a distribuiter in that area? or it was the first time they had it? this in some strange way, reminds me of the burger king;s wopper virgins campaing.... it is a nice idea and a good execution, but for who is it?
"U think it's perfect?! Press delete and start again!"
They're hoping for the film to travel as far as the sun. The world wide web can make that happen!

What a relieve to find something on AotW that makes me wish i'd have done it. Nice idea. Great film!
Hate advertising? Make better ads.
This is a great homage to the simplicity and delicacy of the tone in advertising. I love such mood sometimes delivered by this business. Thanks Toronto.
Yeah great film. But I believe it might only achieve the target on the internet, since in that town there are really few customers, comparing to the investment.
Well yes obviously, or else we wouldn't have just saw this.
love the commercial.. engaging
