With Wimbledon starting this week, tennis star Simona Halep hit the headlines after climbing up the world rankings since having a breast reduction, improving her reaction times and mobility.
Romanian Simona, aged 22, went from a 34DD cup to a 34C cup. She is now less restricted when playing andas a result is seeded number three for Wimbledon, ahead of previous champion Maria Sharapova.
Simona's coach, Wim Fissette, said the procedure was "an important part of her career."
Simona added that the procedure has brought her closer to her dream, commenting: "A few years ago I was looking up the rankings on the Internet and I saw I was on the fourth page. I said my dream was to be on the first page. Now I am there."
Simona's story shows that a breast reduction can be life changing and can help with a multitude of issues including back pain, low confidence and difficulty in exercising or taking part in sports.
The procedure can drastically improve someone's quality of life, and we're thrilled to see women like Simona being successful and happy as a result.
You can read the full story on Simona on Mail Online.

The Elk River tennis team lost to unbeaten section rival Forest Lake for the second time this season, 5-2, at home on Saturday in a four-team event.
However, it was a much closer match this time, as four of the Rangers' five wins were third-set tiebreakers, including a 12-10 score and a 10-8 score, keeping the Elks' hopes up for an upset if they meet again in sectionals.
Forest Lake swept doubles and won at one-two singles, while the Elks' points came from Jen Koehler and Lauren Brayden at No. 3 and 4 singles.
The Elks (13-4) beat Hibbing-Chisholm 7-0. They were supposed to play Andover, too, but that one was scratched because the other matches took too long.
Forest Lake, 19-0 and ranked No. 7, beat Andover 4-3 and Hibbing-Chisholm 4-0.
The Elks have won the section seven straight years, beating Forest Lake in six of those years. Forest Lake also beat the Elks 5-2 in a Duluth tournament Sept. 7.
Next for the Elks is a duel for the conference lead, and likely the championship, at Centennial on Tuesday. Both teams have one conference loss.

SANDY has been churning up the Atlantic since last week and just now, as I write, has shrouded my home in the drab darkness of a greater Washington afternoon without electricity.
An Arctic jet stream pushing down from Canada and Greenland and a low-pressure winter system moving in from the west are combining to block what ordinarily would be Sandy's course — which would be to head towards the mid-Atlantic US coast and then to head back out to sea, following the warmth of the Gulf Stream.
Instead, it's going to New York, crossing the coast near where New Jersey meets Delaware, and then on to Maine in the north and north-west towards the Great Lakes.
And because of that blocking effect, Sandy will be dawdling through the north-east, it's effects lingering for as much as 36 hours in most of the areas it hits.
Sandy has an unusual pedigree. Most hurricanes draw their power from warm seas. But while Sandy's genesis was a tropical wave in the west of the Caribbean on October 22, it has evolved into what the experts call an "extratropical" storm, one that is gassed up by atmospheric contrasts.
Even before landfall, Sandy was smashing records — it had overtaken Lili (1996) as the biggest Atlantic storm in 24 years of record-keeping, its tropical-storm-force winds reached to more than 800 kilometres from the centre; its hurricane winds were stretching 280 kilometres from the centre.
That ridge of high pressure pushing down from Canada and Greenland, a blocking high as it is called in the trade, has an intensity that intrigues meteorologists because, they suspect, it is caused by the reduced sea ice in the Arctic — all a part of climate change.
As reported on Climate Central: "The 2012 sea ice melt season, which ended just a month ago, was extreme, with sea ice extent, volume and other measures all hitting record lows."
And why does this make a difference? "The loss of sea ice opens large expanses of open water, which then absorbs more of the incoming solar radiation and adds heat and moisture to the atmosphere, thereby helping to alter weather patterns."

If you've been following me on Twitter, you already know that I've been at the SOA World Conference this week in San Jose, Calif., which is collocated with Cloud Computing Expo. I did the keynote on Wednesday and stayed around for some of the sessions and for some networking. I'll play excerpts of the keynotes on the SOA Report Podcast next week. You can find the slides here. However, I think SOA World will have most of the talks on video and on their site for replay. I know they had the live feed there.
Overall, SOA World was well attended and the expo hall was full of SOA vendors. The most interesting aspect of this conference was the cloud computing portion and how there was so much crossover with SOA. In essence, many of the SOA players out there are diving into the cloud computing area, and most of those already into cloud computing are traditional software vendors that have moved their stuff into the "as a service" space. I suspect this will continue considering that Salesforce.com just renamed themselves as a cloud computing company, and indeed they are.
[ Read more of David Linthicum's observations on SOA and cloud computing in his Real World SOA blog. ]
So, what are the trends that I gathered from the conference?
First, there is much more of a focus on enterprisewide SOA, as companies move from departmental problem domains, to the entire enterprise. Thus, the focus is on performance and scalability, sharing services, and information mediation between domains.
Second, SOA governance: What the heck is it? How do we create it? And what's the right technology? There is still a bunch of confusion here.
Finally, the focus on short-term quick wins that save money now, and not so much on long-term strategic advantages. Can't blame them there, budgets are getting hacked all over the place.
Done speaking for the year.

I want to put a checkbox image in my list I am using this fo the CSS but it is not correct.
ul.hiddenbullet {
text-decoration: none;background-color: #FFFFFF;text-indent: 15px;list-style-position: outside;list-style-image: url(/CBO/images/ckbox.jpg);list-style-type:none;padding: 6px;margin: 2px;}
I want it to look like this: There will be a checkbox by each of the responses.
Any suggestions would be great.
It may be that your margin isn't big enough, and the image is rendering outside the element. Give it a little more left-margin and see what happens.
The list-style-image is badly implemented in most browsers and for pixel perfect design I would use a background image in the list element instead which can be placed exactly where you want it using the background-position which is not possible with the list-style:image. Just add enough padding to the left of the list element to accommodate the image and ensure that the list item has enough height for the height of the image you are using (use min-height, line-height or padding).

Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie and her kids sent off handcrafted letters to someone special — none other than Santa Claus!
The actress, 37, and all six of her children – Maddox, 11, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 6, and 4-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – went to the village of Littlebourne in Kent, England to send off their Christmas letters on Friday. And locals were shocked to catch a glimpse of the high-profile crew.
"It was so cute. All the children sent messages to Father Christmas and were absolutely beautifully behaved," Littlebourne post office assistant Fiona Lindsay reports to PEOPLE. "Just like any other kids in a sweet shop they were excited, but Angelina controlled them perfectly."
She adds: "It was lovely. They were all very polite. They were just a bunch of gorgeous, happy kids."
Angie and her fiancé, fellow movie star Brad Pitt, have been staying in Kent while he films his latest flick, zombie thriller World War Z.
"[Angelina] was so polite and a really nice person," the source continues. "I was quite shocked at first but Angelina was so lovely I soon relaxed."
"The children bought a packet of sweets each, plus a few toys and some magazines, and we ended up having a general chat about how they all were and what they were going to eat that night," she adds. "I suggested they pop over to the fish and chip shop across the road as it is a shame to come to England and not have some. I just hoped they liked them!"

SPRING is finally here – or at least for the next week as the sunshine and fine weather looks set to continue.
Yesterday, Bournemouth was warmer than parts of Turkey and Greece as blue skies and warm temperatures returned.
Thousands flocked to the beaches to make the most of the glorious weather, and temperatures all this week set to hover around 12-14 degrees.
Today – Monday – Tuesday and Wednesday look likely to see the most sunshine of the week with Thursday and Friday slightly cloudier.
The weekend also looks like it will be mainly dry but with slightly less sunshine although temperatures will hover around the 14 degree level.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said the forecast for the rest of the week will remain largely dry and settled with "sunny spells and variable cloud".
There will be light winds but it will be mild by day and colder at night, they said.
Into next week, the Met Office predict it will stay generally dry and bright with some colder and more unsettled weather also possible.

One Task Left
Muncie, IN - Coming off its toughest game, unbeaten Ball State will try to overcome one last obstacle to winning the Mid-American Conference's West Division when it hosts Western Michigan on Tuesday.
The No. 15 Cardinals - one of five undefeated Football Bowl Subdivision teams - clinched a share of the West with a 31-24 victory at Central Michigan on Wednesday for the school's first 11-0 start. Nate Davis threw for 175 yards and four touchdowns, including the go-ahead score midway through the fourth quarter, and MiQuale Lewis had a season-high 177 rushing yards as Ball State improved to 7-0 in the MAC.
Oddsmakers from Sportsbook.com have made Ball State –10.5 point spread favorites (View College Football odds) for Tuesday's game (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 67% of bets for this game have been placed on Ball State –10.5 (View College Football bet percentages).
"It was a big win,'' said Lewis, who had 63 yards on the drive that was capped by Davis' 11-yard TD pass to Briggs Orsbon with 7:29 to play. "For us to win the MAC championship, we knew we had to come through here, through Central. Great team. Well coached. We knew we'd get their 'A' game.''
Although Ball State is ranked 17th in the Bowl Championship Series standings, representatives from the Fiesta Bowl were in attendance last week, along with those from the Motor City and International Bowls - two games that have tie-ins to MAC schools. The Cardinals can win the West outright with a victory over Western Michigan (9-2, 6-1) and play Buffalo in the MAC title game in Detroit on Dec. 5.
``Our goal has been to win the championship since we came here in 2003, so when we meet at the beginning of the year, we talk about our expectations and what investment we're going to make as a team,'' Ball State coach Brady Hoke said. ``Believe me, it's been a conversation. But I like our team because of how they care about each other and how they play for each other, and that's what we're going to do on Tuesday.''
Lewis has topped 100 yards in three straight games and a single-season school record nine overall, totaling 1,450 yards and 17 touchdowns. The junior is 169 yards shy of breaking Marcus Merriweather's single-season school mark of 1,618 established in 2002, and needs three rushing touchdowns to better the single-season Ball State record of 19 set by Mark Bornholdt in 1979.
Davis has thrown nine TD passes in his last three games after totaling eight in his previous seven. He threw for 358 yards and two TDs to rally the Cardinals past Western Michigan 27-23 on the road last Oct. 20.
The Broncos still have an outside chance to win the West, but need Central Michigan to lose at Eastern Michigan in addition to beating Ball State. They can also win the division if several tiebreakers go their way if a victory by Central Michigan creates a three-way tie.
Western Michigan was idle last week after being Toledo 27-17 on Nov. 15, its third straight win, behind three scoring passes from Tim Hiller.
"I think our kids are feeling pretty good about it," Western Michigan coach Bill Cubit said of facing Ball State. "I mean, Ball State's undefeated. So I think the challenge there is pretty good."
Hiller has recorded five straight 300-yard games, and leads the MAC with 3,382 yards and 33 touchdowns with just six interceptions in 448 attempts. The junior, who redshirted due to injury in 2006 when Western Michigan last beat Ball State, was intercepted three times by the Cardinals last year.
Hiller threw five touchdown passes against Ball State on Oct. 8, 2005, but Western Michigan suffered a 60-57, four-overtime loss.
Hiller is one TD shy of matching the single-season school record of 34 set by Tim Lester in 1999.
He has a standout target in senior wide receiver Jamarko Simmons, who has 92 catches for 1,100 yards in his previous nine games. Simmons, who holds the school record with 248 catches, had nine receptions for 110 yards in last year's defeat to the Cardinals and needs seven catches to break Greg Jennings' single-season mark of 98.
``We have a lot of work to do,'' Hoke said. ``They have a tremendous offense. This is going to be a huge test for us.''
The Broncos, trying for the first 10-win season in their 102-year history, lead the series with Western Michigan 19-15.

Missions fall to Midland 14-3
Published 10:50 pm, Sunday, June 23, 2013
Midland 14, Missions 3
MIDLAND — The Missions head into the Texas League All-Star break after matching their most lopsided loss of the season Sunday in front of 3,760 at Citibank Ballpark.
Starter Matt Andriese entered the game with a Double-A-leading 1.99 ERA, but it was apparent early that he didn't have command. He walked a season-high four batters in his shortest outing of the year, allowing four runs in just 32/3 innings.
Matt Lollis, who has mostly struggled since coming up from Single-A, was later tagged for six runs over two innings.
Things got so bad that designated hitter A.J. Kirby-Jones was brought in to pitch the eighth, but he didn't last long after allowing four runs while recording only one out.
Sports Channel
San Antonio heads into the break having lost four of five.
Next Up: Wednesday — Missions TBA vs. Tulsa TBA, 7:05 PM.

Your FICO score isn't a mysterious number drawn out of hat. Rather your FICO score is an exact algorithm based on your credit. Banks and other financial institutions use this score to determine your creditworthiness while insurance companies and even landlords use your credit score to determine insurance rates or whether you'll be a good tenant. Your score is comprised of five different aspects of credit:
Payment History
When a borrower lends you money, they expect to be repaid. So, 35 percent of your FICO score is derived from account payment information from your creditors. When you miss a payment, this counts against your score. For every on-time payment, you demonstrate your ability to repay your debts as promised. FICO monitors more than just late payments, however. It measures bankruptcy, judgments, defaults on loans, finance company accounts, and mortgages.
Payment history also includes the severity of the delinquency, the amount that is past due, and the time since the last adverse item was recorded. Finally, payment history includes the number of past due items as well as the number of accounts that are marked "paid as agreed."
Length of Credit History
Length of credit history accounts for 15 percent of your total FICO score. Believe it or not, not having used your credit card for the last three months has a negative effect on your credit score. FICO monitors when you opened your account, the last time you opened a credit line, and the time since your last account activity.
New Credit
Most people have a vague idea about credit inquiries affecting their credit score, but they don't understand just how much it impacts their ability to obtain credit. These inquiries, and new credit in general, accounts for 15 percent of your score. The number of new accounts you opened recently, the number of recent credit inquiries, the time since your most recent account opening, the re-establishment of a positive credit history, and the time since your last credit inquiry all count towards factoring this part of your FICO score.
Types of Credit Used
The number of various types of accounts plays a small role in your credit score. While some financial gurus spend a lot of time telling you to vary your account types, it only accounts for 10 of your overall FICO score. For example, if you diversify between credit cards, installment loans, mortgage loans, and consumer finance accounts, it will only impact your credit score in a very small way. Instead, focus more on payment history and the amount of debt you owe.
Amounts Owed
The amount of debt you owe is the second most important factor affecting a whopping 30 percent of your score. For example, if you $100,000 on your mortgage, this might have a negative impact on your credit score if you also owe $250,000 in other debts. Sometimes, lack of a specific type of balance can count against you too. The number of accounts you have open with balances also impacts your score as does the proportion of credit lines to maximum credit lines. For example, if you have an $8,000 credit limit on a credit card, and you charge up $7,500, it might hurt your score compared to a balance of just $4,000 on the same card.
Because your FICO score is an important measure of your creditworthiness, you should keep close tabs on it. Get a free copy of your credit report every year, check for mistakes, and report any errors to the issuing credit bureau immediately.

Touched my heart hope it touches yours
Please leave me comment what you think of Molly Song?
A Minnesota teen is winning fans with an original song.
Molly Kate Kestner, a high school senior, has achieved internet fame nearly overnight after posting a video of herself on Facebook.
Her song is called "his daughter," it's about a girl who's abandoned by an alcoholic father. Kestner's posts music on her music quite often, but she said she had been saving this one for a while.
"Okay....So this is probably my favorite song I've ever written. I wrote it a year ago but I never posted it because I wanted to save it for my senior solo, but now that's over...so I am FINALLY sharing it with the world," Kestner wrote. "It's called 'His Daughter' and it is a story. So I hope you are inspired as I was when I wrote this. Happy Easter:)"
Her video was shared more than 200, 000 times on Facebook. The video has more than 600,000 views on YouTube, a third of those were just from midnight.

Financing a college education is one of the most difficult challenges for students. The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships helps students and parents navigate the financial aid process in order to receive the highest award available to them.
In order to qualify for aid for next school year, students must fill out the 2006/2007 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 2, 2006. FAFSA is easy and free, and it may make the difference in a student's ability to attend UC Merced.
We encourage every UC Merced applicant to complete the FAFSA. Even if they think they won't meet the criteria for need-based assistance, it's smart to file, said Diana Ralls, the director of the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.
In 2005, 80 percent of UC Merced students were eligible for some form of financial aid, and 65 percent qualified for need-based aid, according to Ralls.
The most common thing we hear from students is, 'My parents make too much and I will never get anything.' Many students are surprised when they see that in fact they are eligible for financial aid, said Kristen Duarte, a UC Merced financial aid advisor.
Duarte knows the importance of financial aid first-hand. I was a financial aid student at UC Santa Barbara, she said. If I hadn't received financial aid, I would have never been able to go to college.
We want students to come to us with questions, Duarte added. If they don't understand how financial aid works, we're happy to explain it to them.
Additional information about applying for financial aid at UC Merced is available online at www.financialaid.ucmerced.edu or by calling (209) 724-4384. In addition, the Students First Center can assist with questions and schedule financial aid appointments on the first floor of the Gold Wing in the Kolligian Library, Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Graduate students should complete the FAFSA online and then contact the Graduate Division for fellowship, grant and employment opportunities.
Key Financial Aid information:
- Every student and applicant should file a FAFSA by March 2, 2006.
- Apply early; some aid is given on a first-come, first-served basis.
- FAFSA can be filed electronically at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
- FAFSA must be submitted every year and are NOT automatically renewed.
- All students applying for financial aid at UC Merced must enter UC Davis'Federal School Code (001313) on their FAFSA.
- FAFSA will be processed following the March 2 deadline and after students are notified of their admission decision.
- Students will begin receiving offers of financial assistance in late March or early April.

Capital Repertory Theatre
and the University at Albany (SUNY) Department of History,
Researching New York Conference, and Documentary Studies Program
New York Sings
an afternoon exploration of New York's rich musical heritage,
featuring renowned musicologist Rena Kosersky
and famed Albany-area folklorist/performer George Ward.
Albany, NY – February 28, 2012 – Capital Repertory Theatre invites the public to New York Sings!a lively, 90-minute discussion and performance with renowned musicologist Rena Kosersky and famed folklorist/musician George Ward. The event, which is free to all, will be held on Saturday, March 24, from 1-2:30 pm at Capital Repertory Theatre, 111 North Pearl Street in Albany.
New York Sings!explores New York's rich musical traditions, including 19th and early 20th century folksongs gathered in the Schoharie region, such as "A Dutch Lullaby" and "Billy Boy," that reflect the roots of New York's earliest settlers.
"Events such New York Sings! are at the heart of Capital Repertory Theatre's mission," notes Producing Artistic Director Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill. "We look at the community as a source of inspiration, and seek to celebrate the upstate region in particular as a cultural destination point, both past and present. The relevance of this exceptional offering in concert with the upcoming Black Pearl Sings! at Capital Rep cannot be overstated."
The March 24 event is co-sponsored by the University at Albany Department of History and Researching New York, a conference on New York State history sponsored by the department each November; and the UAlbany Documentary Studies Program.
New York Sings! is scheduled to coincide with Capital Repertory Theatre's regional premiere of Black Pearl Sings!, which runs from March 13 through April 7. A play with music by Frank Higgins, Black Pearl Sings! brings audiences back to the 1930s and an encounter in a Texas prison between Alberta "Pearl" Johnson, an African-American woman convicted of murder (played by Jannie Jones, who delighted audiences in last year's Crowns), and Susannah Mullally, a white academic collecting traditional songs for the U.S. Library of Congress (played by Jessica Wortham, known locally for her memorable work in Boston Marriage). When Susannah discovers that Pearl is a living storehouse of songs passed down from her African ancestors, Pearl must decide whether or not to trust her—not only with her songs, but also her only chance at freedom.
Higgins has said that his work was inspired by the true story of song collector John Lomax, a white academic who met African-American musician Huddie Ledbetter, better known as Leadbelly, in a Louisiana prison in 1933. The March 24 discussion invites the general public to look more deeply into the legacy of collectors like Lomax. "It seemed like a terrific opportunity to bring New York scholars, performers, and the public together to discuss and celebrate the music of New York in the context of this play," said Sheila Curran Bernard, who organized the event with Mancinelli-Cahill and is a faculty member at the University at Albany.
Bernard contacted Rena Kosersky, an expert in American folk music and music collecting, including the work of John Lomax. "By focusing on music in certain regions of the country, Appalachia and the Deep South, as Lomax did," Kosersky explains, "collectors often privileged that music as 'American'—a designation that overlooks rich traditions elsewhere." For the 90-minute presentation on March 24, Kosersky will team up with famed regional performer George Ward to introduce audiences to the rich song and folklore legacy of New York State. Of particular interest is Kosersky's research into the 19th and early 20th century folk and popular songs of Schoharie County as collected by Ida Finkell (whose "songster" or ballad book was kept from 1879-83) and Emelyn Elizabeth Gardner (Folklore from The Schohairie Hills New York, 1937).
"In New York, as in Texas, Louisiana, and elsewhere, music played a key role in establishing and preserving communities, and it can serve as a lens through which to understand the historical past, both before and after the advent of recording technology," adds Kosersky. "The music of New York is an important part of the musical traditions that illustrate the United States' dynamic and diverse population."
Kosersky is planning to discuss a number of songs that George Ward will perform. While the program is not yet finalized, selections may include "Uncle Sam's Farm," a popular 19th century protest song; "Ding Darling," a tune also known as "It Was on One Morning in 1855;" "When the Stars Begin to Fall," a spiritual; and "Pretty Polly," a ballad with English, Irish, and American roots.
A matinee performance of Black Pearl Sings! will follow the discussion, beginning at 3:00 pm on Saturday, March 24, 2012. Tickets are required for Black Pearl Sings!. They can be purchased online at www. capitalrep.org, in person at the Tickets by Proctors Box Office, by phone at the Tickets by Proctors phone line, or in person two hours prior to the performance at the Capital Repertory Theatre Box Office.

Regional Premiere
Black Pearl Sings!
by Frank Higgins
Tuesday, March 13 - Saturday, April 7
Previews: March 9- March 13
"...good music knows no prejudice and requires little translation" --
Jerome Langston, VEER magazine
The search for the soul of America's hidden African roots takes Susannah an ethnomusicologist, to a Texas prison where she encounters Albertina "Pearl" Johnson. Imprisoned for a crime of passion, Pearl is a living album of folk songs and spirituals passed down from her African American ancestors and their slave era past. She must decide whether to trust the white Susannah with her invaluable songs and with her only chance at freedom. Pearl's stirring voice will touch your heart as will this story of complete strangers united by a common love.
Albany, NY – February 15, 2012– The gusty March winds and anticipated flowering of Spring this year will be accompanied by the soulful refrains of folk songs and slave spirituals at Albany's Capital Repertory Theatre as playwright Frank Higgins' Black Pearl Sings! opens on Friday, March 9 and holds full sway over audiences until April 7.
Those with a love for Capital Rep's signature Seriously Good Theatre series won't want to miss this uplifting dramatic tale of two very different women, each on her own journey toward happiness, and the friendship that unites and guides them.
Bringing Higgins' play to Albany has been a dream come true for Capital Rep's Producing Artistic Director Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill: MAGGIE QUOTE?
It's a story that sweeps us into its unfolding until the final line."
Intelligent, Riveting Theatre
Imprisoned for murder, Alberta "Pearl" Johnson is the living storehouse of songs passed down from her African-American ancestors. When Library of Congress song collector Susannah Mullally finds her, Pearl must decide whether to entrust the woman not only with the songs of her ancestors, but with her only chance at freedom. The women's stirring a capella songs touch the soul, as will the story of two strangers united by a common cause.
Bonnie Jones, who delighted audiences in Capital Rep's producton of Crowns last season is featured in the role of Pearl. Making her Capital Rep debut, Jessica Wortham will perform the role of Susannah. Together, they appeared in San Jose Repertory Theatre's much-lauded Black Pearl Sings! production in 2010.
Black Pearl Sings! is a co-production with Virginia Stage Company at the Wells Theatre in Norfolk, VA., Following a run at VSA, the cast and creative team, led by Director Patrick Mullins, will travel to Albany and produce the show from March 9 to April 7, 2012.
Black Pearl Sings! received its first workshop production at the Barter Theatre in Abingdon in 2006 prior to its 2007 premiere in Houston. It has become a favorite at theaters around the country and has played at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.
The unfolding story Includes renditions of old field songs, early blues, spirituals and gutbucket blues. These vocal artifacts remind us that music has the power to help heal in the struggle between out collective past and our desire for individual histories. Songs include "This Little Light of Mine," "Kum Ba Yah," "Little Sally Walker" and more, most performed in their original folk versions. At one point in the show, the audience is invited to sing along.
Playwright Higgins emphasizes that Black Pearl Sings! is very much "a play with music," not a musical. In fact, the songs are performed without accompaniment. The only musical instrument, other than the human voice, is an autoharp.
About the Playwright
Frank Higgins is the author of The Sweet By 'n' By, which was produced with Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow. His play Black Pearl Sings! has been one of the most produced plays in the country over the past two seasons, and several scenes from his play Gunplay were read on Capitol Hill prior to Congress' passage of the "Brady Bill." Mr. Higgins' play Miracles has been produced at major regional theatres and was optioned for Broadway, while his musical play WMKS: Where Music Kills Sorrow has also run at major regional theatres. Plays for young audiences includeThe Slave Dancer's Choice, Anansi the Spider and the Middle Passage, as well as The Country of the Blind, an adaptation of the short story by H.G. Wells. Mr. Higgins teaches at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and is a member of the Dramatists Guild of America.
According to Higgins, "[He] first became interested in the old folk songs and ballads when I traveled through the Appalachian Mountains.
"I've always been fascinated by what is authentic and what isn't. Is there a tendency that many people of all backgrounds have to romanticize their cultural past and the pasts of others? The question of finding the true roots of a culture is a mystery as complicated as any."
Higgins said that Pearl is a fictional character inspired by the real-life story of blues legend Huddie (Lead Belly) Ledbetter. Lead Belly was in prison, too, and became famous when he was discovered and promoted by John and Alan Lomax, father-and-son folk-music collectors.
The main reason Higgins switched genders is because "women are the matriarchs of any culture. They are the ones who sang the songs to the children," he said.
"Women are more likely to carry on the songs of a culture."

Capital Repertory Theatre has a rich, local history of excellent entertainment and strong community relationships. Established in 1981, it came into existence through the dedication and perseverance of a group of Albany business, community and civic leaders. Donated labor, materials and expertise transformed the Grand Cash Market, an abandoned supermarket at 111 North Pearl Street, into what was to become the home of Albany's first professional resident theatre.
Outreach was made to The League of Theatre Artists, a group of diverse actors, directors and playwrights, who spent summers at Art Awareness in Lexington, New York. Working together, these artists, community leaders and an army of volunteers founded Capital Repertory Company. This initial investment of time and resources created what is now the highly acclaimed, award-winning Capital Repertory Theatre with an annual operating budget of $2.3 million, and a history of producing more than 5,000 performances employing more than 1,500 professional artists.
In the past 30 years, the facility on North Pearl Street has been renovated several times, and now includes a 286-seat theatre, a café space, a costume-making shop, and a rehearsal hall. In addition to returning more than 83% of its operating budget directly back to the local community, Capital Rep brings vitality and commerce to downtown in the form of more than 75,000 diners, shoppers, and tourists, serving as an economic engine in the entertainment district on North Pearl Street.
At the core of Capital Repertory Theatre's mission is "to create meaningful theatre with an authentic connection to the community we serve" in pursuit of these goals:
• to provide significant, high-quality theatre for all people of the Capital Region,
• to ensure that every student in the 14-county Capital Region experiences live theatre before high school graduation,
• to take a leadership role in defining New York's Upper Hudson-Mohawk Valley as a cultural destination point, and
• to make Capital Repertory Theatre synonymous with quality in every aspect of the organization: actors, productions, education programs, customer service, and civic leadership.
In all programs and services, Capital Repertory Theatre reflects its mission by embracing its community as a source of inspiration. Capital Rep embraces cast, crew and audiences from every background to expand the horizons of thought and understanding of the human condition through the power of theatre.
Capital Repertory Theatre is a professional, not-for-profit cultural organization, and the only member of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT) within fourteen counties of the Upper Hudson-Mohawk Valley.
As a proud member of LORT, an esteemed organization that promotes the positive impact of theatres in the arts and communities nationwide, Capital Rep is able to create excellent opportunities for both up-and-coming and seasoned theatre professionals.

Day 2 at FTF: A little bit of glitz
0 comments post a comment
The second day of the FTF opened with the keynote address, given by Freescale's CEO Michel Mayer.
The second day of the Freescale Technology Forum (FTF) opened (at least for me) with the keynote address, given by Freescale's CEO Michel Mayer. As you would expect, there was some glitz and some whiz-bang, as Mayer showed off some of Freescale's latest technology.
Two products in particular stuck out in my mind. First was a pair of gloves that each held six accelerometers, one behind each finger and one behind the wrist (plus one band worn on the elbow and another further up the arm). The users wears the gloves, then performs sign language. Through some extensive processing (thanks Freescale), the sign language movements are converted to audio output. The demo was performed by a university professor on video.
The second product that caught my attention was the winner of Freescale's internal design contest. Again based on the company's accelerometer technology, the design was a replacement for today's conventional automotive brake lights. How it works is that as the car's rate of deceleration increases, the brightness of the brake light increases. Pretty cool stuff.
The rest of the day consisted mostly of updates of existing technologies, from ZigBee to Enea's "framework" topology of proving their customers with complete systems.
Hopefully Day 3 will produce a few more highlights.

Josh Helmuth delivers the top sports stories of the week…
A lot can happen in a week, especially under the bright city lights of New York. In just one week, Jeremy Lin has gone from 15th man, to the star-starting point guard and most talked about player in the NBA. Under Lin's leadership the Knicks are undefeated, 5-0, including a defeat over the Lakers in a game where Lin had 38 points, and still no Carmelo Anthony or Amare Staudamire. After being a local high school star, the bay area native didn't get a scholarship offer from Stanford, so he went on to play for Harvard. Lin's rise is nothing short of spectacular, even with his Ivy League education. Not only has Lin been released by multiple NBA teams since being with the Warriors as an undrafted free agent in 2010, but 'word on the street' that up until this week, Lin was still crashing on a couch in Manhattan, because he wasn't sure how long he would be with the Knicks. Jeremy, if the Knicks don't want you know, I can count about 29 other NBA teams that would take you. And by the way, Lin's number 17 jersey is the top seller on NBA.com.
Phil Mickelson rallied from a whopping 6 shots behind, winning at Pebble Beach, his 40th PGA Tour win. Tiger Woods on the other hand, who was one shot out of the lead on the sixth hole on Sunday, fell apart. While Woods completed the final round with three straight bogeys, Mickelson was rolling on dubs….and by dubs I mean rolling in 20 foot eagle putts. Mickelson is only the 9th player in tour history with 40 career wins.
It was announced Sunday that former MLB MVP, Jose Canseco will be trying out for the Quintana Roo Tigers of the Mexican League. Canseco, who is 47, last played pro baseball nearly 11 years ago for the Chicago White Sox. He hit 462 home runs during his 17 year career before admitting to steroid use in 2005, publishing a book that also called out former teammates, which makes this entire endeavor incredibly ironic. With the Mexican League being managed by minor league baseball, and contacting Athletic's GM Billy Beane this past month, Canseco is trying to break back into the institution he sold out 7 years ago. If all else fails, I'm sure there are plenty of softball leagues in southern california that he could play for, and I betcha he could even get a member discount with is AARP card.
Freshman guard Austin Rivers nailed his 6th 3-pointer of the game, at the buzzer, to rally his Duke Blue Devils past North Carolina 85-84, snapping UNC's school record 31 game home winning streak.
Kobe Bryant passed former teammate Shaquille O'Neal for 5th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
And Red Sox third baseman is engaged to marry Julie Brady…which of course is Patriot's Quarterback, Tom Brady's sister. Niiiiiiiceeeeee.
Thanks for watching. Catch us right here again next week, to get your Sports Fix.

Jerusalem (Apr. 2)
No incidents have occurred anywhere, although the feeling of tenseness and apprehension over the coincidence of the Passover, Easter and Nebi Moussa Festivals continues, and the authorities are not relaxing their precautions. This year, however, most of the anxiety of the authorities is not over a fear of clashes between Moslems and Jews, but between the Pro-Mufti Party and the bitterly anti-Mufti Arabs of Hebron, who have gone so far as to refuse the customary hospitality offered them by the Grand Mufti on their pilgrimage to the supposed tomb of Moses, near Jericho. The Hebron Arabs are furious with the Grand Mufti and the Moslem Supreme Council, of which he is the head, because the income of the Hebron Wakf (Moslem Religious Endowment), amounting to about £40,000, goes to the Moslem Supreme Council, while Hebron is becoming increasingly poor since the Jews have fled from the town, the loss of rents alone amounting to about £20,000 annually.
All Arabs entering Jerusalem are being searched for arms. Troops are stationed at the customary positions at the Jaffa and Damascus Gates, and police reinforcements have been drafted into the Jewish quarters and the Jewish colonies.
About 8,000 Arabs went out to-day to meet the Nablus Moslems, numbering only 170, arriving with their banners for the Nebi Moussa procession. According to the police estimate, the crowd was about half that of last year. No speeches were delivered and there were no shouts raised against the Jews, and no reference made to the Wailing Wall.
There is the usual crop of rumours about Arabs here and there having threatened Jews that Sunday will be their day of reckoning. A flag day is to be held on Sunday, probably with the knowledge of the Palestine Arab Executive, to raise funds for providing tombstones for the Arabs who were executed for murdering Jews in the massacres of August 1929.
The police are also concerned about the activities of the Communities. It is stated that they have received instructions from the Communist International to turn Nebi Moussa day into a day of bloodshed, with proclamations calling for a fight against the Government, the Zionists and the Effendis. Three Communists have been arrested while distributing handbills.
Huge crowds of Jews gathered for worship at the Wailing Wall on the first day of Passover, Chief Rabbi Kook being an unexpected and conspicuous figure there, arriving immediately after he had delivered his sermon at the Hurvah Synagogue.

Gears of War
Review by thesampleman
"No snappy Tagline here! All I got to say is greatest FPS ever!"
Gears of War for the Xbox 360 is truly one of the first next gen type games. It is a First Person Shooter in the mold of the other greats in the genre. It is possibly the greatest game ever made to this point. It is a revolutionary step forward in a genre that is still seemingly stuck in the past. There are only so many words to describe this game. They are awesome, brilliant, genius, and gorgeous. They hype surrounding this game was well advised because we will all look back at this game with loving memories.
What other word can you use to describe the graphics other than beautiful. This is the best looking apocalyptic scenery ever devised. All the buildings interiors are well animated and beautiful to behold. From the crumbling walls to the iron grated floors, the game shines with majestic atmosphere. All the buildings feel intuitive and that all the objects in the environment belong there. There is nothing worse in a next gen game than hideous environments. The explosions from the grenades rock and what can I say about the Hammer of Dawn except that it is freakin' awesome. Add on top of that the ability to chainsaw your enemies and watch the blood fly and splatter around on your screen and you have what I call a cool game.
Next up in the graphical column is the characters themselves. Each charecter has a distinctive look. Just looking at the characters, you'll fell weighed down just by looking at their armor. They made the characters seem fluid and lifelike, and that takes skill. Not only that but the physics engine is top notch too. There was nothing like shooting a enemy in the face and watch them flip and flounder around. This brings me to the Locust Horde. Each of them are nicely detailed and you can almost see the saliva coming out of their mouth as they shoot at you. Not only are these characters nicely detailed but so are the larger enemies. Each square inch of their huge bodies are detailed and painstakingly crafted just for the player to mow them down. It makes you feel proud that you did it.
The next area of concern, in my review are the cinematic scenes. They are gritty, in a way the graphics convey that. The sequences are nicely detailed and also sport the fluid character movements and mannerisms. While you watch, you can even play guess Marcus' mood. I mean the graphics here are so good it's like you're watching a extremely violent CG movie. They are a nice way to break up the action but short enough so that the player does not become bored while watching a "movie". They also set the atmosphere beautifully for the next part that you are about to enter into.
The sound in this game is brilliant. The music conveys atmosphere very well. It seems to be dark in some areas, especially when things look bleak and up tempo when things are going good. The music also clues you in to what could be around the corner in the game. I went into several firefights prepared just on music alone. It is very seldom in shooters that you have music done so well (except Halo).
The sound effects are also done with tender love and care. The sounds of the guns firing at rapid speed, exhilarated me. However, my favorite sound effect is where the beast in Act 2 screams and chases you. That was the most terrifying sound I have ever heard in a video game and I was myself ducking for cover. The sounds of the enemies kinda chuckling, sort of creeped me out. Another of my favorite sounds was of the Kryll especially when they screeched and killed their own Locust brethren.
The voice acting is superb. They read their lines with confidence and sort of lend that quality of fighting a desperate struggle. The dialogue is not for the faint of heart. Those squeamish at the sound of cuss words should run away now. However, for me I do not care about stupid things like that. All I care is that that level of verbal acumen is actually beneficial to the overall mood of the game. The voice acting is also done well during firefights, and you'll hear the pain you dish out and receive.
The controls are also very well done. The Xbox 360 controller is perfectly suited for this type of game. The right trigger button always feels natural to me for a FPS on this system. The A button is the context sensitive button. This is where you can pull all the cool moves. From getting into cover or getting out of cover or even performing a SWAT turn the A button is the place to go. It works so well in fact, that more games should incorporate this system into their games. The directional pad is utilized for weapon inventory and even the Y button is used vigorously as you look for your next objective.
The controls handle well and are very responsive. You can be evading one minute with the A button, to putting yourself into cover and exiting cover, within the space of 3 seconds. You feel in total control, and you have to because of the nature of the game. Controlling every aspect of this game is easy and beginners can learn this control system in literally minutes.
The story is decent. I mean the story did not blow me away, it is the typical save the world from an evil invader bent on world domination. Your main opponents in this story are the Locust Horde, a group of subterranean creatures that grouped under every major city and launched a simultaneous attack on every major city on the planet. The decimated the human population and left few survivors. You are a member of the ragtag group of humans fighting to take back the planet.
You are Marcus Fenix, a soldier that defied orders to go and save his father. This gets him locked up, but eventually needing more men for the resistance, they resistance movement go back to the prison that Marcus is in and break him out. Oh by the way it is overrun with Locust. That is the start of the story. There are plot twists here and there and the CG sequences help flesh out a little bit of the story. However, the story is not in the forefront in this game and you really get lost in just massacring the Locust just for sport.
What let me down in the story department is that there is no character development. I mean it would have been nice to just get an idea what goes on in Marcus Fenix's head. We know that he wants revenge and he wants to crush the Locust, but what about the other characters. You only hear a little about their families and their lives. Why are each of them fighting and what are their motivations? Did one of their close family members die in the invasion? Did they become the way they are just because they are grumpy? These questions are not answered in the game and I would have liked to see them answered.
The game play in this game is sweet! My first reason to love this game is the sheer fun of the firefights. The bullets are whizzing around and you take cover behind anything. It is like you are in a fight for your life with the Locust. For me the firefights were so awesome because there was so much attention to them. The sheer amount of lead flying by you and hitting your cover and then waiting until they reload to attack them with a torrent of your own lead is a gratifying experience.
The next area that I would like to point out is the weapon inventory system that is employed within the game. Finding weapons on the ground and then having to equip them to one of the directional pad buttons is fun and adds strategy to the game. With all that said it also adds burdens especially on the harder difficulty settings. Finding ammo becomes a priority in this game and if you have a wrong weapon you're screwed.
The only part of the game that is tedious is the driving levels. This involves you stopping and pointing searchlights at the Kryll. You ,however, can not do both at the same time! You must stop to shine your searchlight!!!!!! I mean if you are in a desperate fight against an invader that is killed by light why can you not move while shooting at them?
The Objectives give the game a flow and a pace. It introduces harder enemies gradually and you'll never feel that you are way in over your head. There are few confusing objectives and most are easy to perform. The game is not that easy, however. The game ramps up the challenge as you go along and is satisfying all the way to the final boss fight.
High. There is so much to do in this game. From online multiplayer and cooperative play to coop play with a friend at your house, this game has it all. It features different difficulty settings that challenge even the most seasoned gamers. The single player is also vastly rewarding in this respect. Plus you gotta find all the tags hidden throughout the game if you are a completionist.
This is a must buy for all Xbox 360 owners. It is a violent masterpiece and a work of art. Most of all this game is in the vein of the legends of the FPS genre. It ranks higher than Doom, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Halo, and Deus Ex in my book.

Type the code shown
The aroma, body and flavor of yogurt and other cultured dairy products can vary depending on the type of culture and milk, amount of milk fat and non-fat milk solids, fermentation process and temperature used. These foods are made by adding specific cultures to fluid dairy products in order to convert some lactose (milk's sugar) into lactic acid. The word "acidified" in the product name means acidifiers were added to produce the lactic acid.
Yogurt is a mixture of milk (whole, reduced-fat, low-fat or non-fat) and cream fermented by a culture of lactic acid-producing bacteria, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Other bacteria (e.g., acidophilus) and other strains of the above bacteria may be added to the culture. Sweeteners (e.g., sugar, honey, aspartame), flavorings (e.g., vanilla, coffee) and other ingredients (e.g., fruits, preserves, stabilizers such as gelatin) may also be added. Yogurt contains at least 3.25% milk fat and 8.25% solids-not-fat. The mixture of dairy products and optional ingredients, except bulky flavorings, must be pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized. The milk in most yogurts is also homogenized. Some yogurts also contain beneficial live, active cultures which are indicated on the label.
The nutritional and caloric contents of yogurt, buttermilk and acidophilus milk are similar to those of the fluid milks from which they are made. Each is an important source of calcium, riboflavin (B2) and protein. Check the Nutrition Facts panel on product labels for the nutritional content of specific products.
Yogurt, buttermilk and acidophilus milk should be stored in closed containers in the refrigerator at 40°F to maintain their quality. Yogurt will keep for about a week and buttermilk and acidophilus milk will keep for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Freezing is not recommended for any of these cultured dairy foods.

Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana Cuddle Up During Movie Date Night (PHOTOS)
The Words costars Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana were inseparable during a movie date night at Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood Saturday night. The former couple, who were quietly dating in late 2011 before breaking up this March, caught a showing of Paul Thomas Anderson's new movie The Master before leaving together through the parking lot.
Cooper, 37, had his arms around his onscreen love as they made their way back to their car.
This wasn't the first time this month the pair were spotted out together.
In early September, Cooper and Saldana, 34, reunited for the premiere of their latest film, The Words.
Though the duo posed together with the cast on the red carpet, the two actors kept their distance and walked the red carpet line separately.
When asked on the carpet about Saldana, Cooper was quick to give compliments not just to his ex, but to the entire cast as well — essentially avoiding talking about the actress at length.
Last November, Saldana called off her engagement to longtime boyfriend and business partner Keith Britton after 11 years of dating.
Cooper and Saldana were photographed kissing and walking arm in arm months after the Colombiana star split from her fiance.
Do you want to see these two get back together? Sound off below.

Get your guns out. The ISAORA + Meyerhoffer Tank combines two different cotton jersey's, making it light and comfortable for everyday wear. Lucky for you, we made it in two color ways so you're not caught wearing the same tank two days in a row. Easy to wear, this tank goes tag-less, w/ screen printed care labels for added comfort (not cause you need them, but Johnny Law thinks otherwise). The backside of the tank is finished with a color-blocked quarter panel with Meyerhoffer's signature SUR FOR WRD tag.

After disbanding its volunteer fire department in December, the City of Oxford is in the process of reaching a permanent 50-year agreement to pay Newton County to handle Oxford's fires.
Locally grown: Local produce, such as the strawberries on the Mitcham farm in Oxford, are coming into season and will be sold at the Oxford Farmer's Market, which starts today and will be held on the green space near the post office. To apply to participate in the market, or for more information, contact City Hall located at 110 W. Clark Street, at (770) 786-7004.
The entire community was invited to attend Oxford College's annual Earth Day celebration Saturday afternoon. Held on the lawn of the Tarbutton Performing Arts Center, the day featured a variety of activities, including a band and snacks, demonstrations on environmentally-focused topics presented by organic chemistry students such as how to make Silly Putty were available and children were invited to decorate cookies and tote bags and plant seeds to take home, among other things.
An Oxford dog made a great showing on the national stage at this year's Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, winning the prize of "Best in Breed."
At the January city council work session, Oxford residents took a second look at plans for a new two-story city hall building and safety complex that would serve as a cornerstone for a potential town-center area.
The Oxford City Council has appointed Patsy Burke to replace Forrest McCanless on the municipality's planning commission.
Deputies with the Newton County Sheriff's Office arrested a Conyers man Dec. 6 and charged him with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamines.
Deputies with the Newton County Sheriff's Office are investigating an attempted armed robbery Dec. 11 at a home on Oxford Way in Oxford.
According to the incident report, the victim was at home when he heard a noise at the back door. When he went outside to investigate, he heard a gun cock and a man with a blue bandana covering his face emerged from the bushes with a shotgun. He said the man put the weapon in his face, after which the victim lay on the ground.
Oxford mayor Jerry Roseberry and the Oxford City Council are seeking to fill a vacancy on the municipality's planning commission.
Planning commission member Forrest McCanless, who has served on the board since 2006 and who was replacing Emma Lou Harris in her term, will resign from his position effective Dec. 31. A new member will be appointed at the Oxford City Council's annual organizational meeting, held 7:30 p.m. Jan. 5 in the Oxford community room.
Newton County Fire Services has assumed the responsibility of providing fire services to the city of Oxford after the city decided to close its own volunteer fire department.
According to Oxford Mayor Jerry Roseberry at the Oxford City Council meeting Monday night, November delinquencies dropped 18 percent in comparison with November 2007.
Roseberry attributes the improvement to what he referred to as a no-nonsense collections approach employed by staff members at Oxford City Hall. Roseberry commended the City Hall staff for their efforts during the council meeting.
Oxford College of Emory University kicked off their fundraiser campaign with a dinner Sept. 26, which coincided with the school's homecoming week, at Burge Plantation.
The Oxford Volunteer Fire Department turned out in force for the resignation of OVFD Chief Jason Stribling at the city council meeting Monday.
Oxford's city council received a sneak peak at the plans for the new two-story city hall and police station at the Sept. 22 work session.

A "DANGEROUS" man who tried to entice a 15-year-old boy into his car in Atherton is being hunted by police.
The teenager was walking home along Bolton Road On Saturday, December 28, when a silver Ford Ka passed him and stopped on the other side of the road near the junction of Marlborough Road.
The driver wound down the window and spoke to the boy, who could not quite hear and, assuming the man was asking for directions, went to the car.
The man asked several personal questions before asking him if he wanted a lift home.
The teenager declined but the driver asked to shake his hand and then grabbed his hand and pulled it down onto his legs, asking him to get in the car.
Despite the 15-year-old boy wriggling free, the Ka followed him for a while before the teenager started running and managed to get away.
The boy was not physically hurt but was left upset by the incident.
His attacker is described as black with a large build, giving the impression of being tall.
He had short dark shaved hair, short stubble and spoke slightly broken English.
He wore grey cargo trousers and a black leather jacket, while the Ford Ka was silver with darker grey or possible black bumpers.
Det Con Andrew Partington said: "We don't want to cause any undue alarm but we believe we have to let people know this has happened.
"Thankfully the boy had the presence of mind to struggle free and run off, but the fact he was then followed by the car shows how potentially dangerous this man is.
"With that in mind I want people in Atherton to be aware of this man and to ensure they report anything suspicious to the police."
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Halo 3
Review by Zerabp
Note: This review is on Campaign mode only
It may come as no surprise to fans of the series that this game gets a lot of 10/10s and it is well deserving. This came is the cumulative master piece that ends the Halo Saga for the time being. So get comfortable grab that controller and prepare to be amazed.
Story 10/10
I wish I could tell you how amazing the story is I really do but to go into any detail on what makes it great would spoil it and I really don't want to do it. Needless to say when you reach the end of the game you will find yourself thinking about what you just experienced, and I do mean experienced as it is very engrossing and personal. Simply put it is truly awe inspiring.
Graphics 10/10
This game is complete, pixelization, no going through solid objects, in short we have come a long way from Halo 2. Being able to take the time they wanted this time around Bungie has achieved visual perfection. The levels are lush, the NPCs realistic, and the weapons all look different and amazing. There are no recycled weapon skins this time around (I'm looking at you Brute Rifle!) and the weapons are very much like there real counter parts where comparison is possible and real enough where it is not comparable to anything in reality. On it's own the gameplay graphics are a 10/10, and the cut-scenes are even better. The cinematic quality is gorgeous and emotional and many times your jaw will simply drop at what you are seeing. Bungie really took games to the next level with this installment.
Audio 10/10
Beginning with Halo this series has taken audio both through music and most notably voice acting to a plain that people just didn't think was possible. Many game have since followed in it's footsteps and have realized that top quality voice acting sound effects and music are well worth adding in to the final product. The same cast returns in this one and again does a magnificent job at adding to the mood and pacing of the game. The sound effects are all crisp and clean and appropriate for there function. The music is staggering and beautiful, often making you stop and stand still just to listen. The soundtracks of this series have always been great but this time they are truly a cut above.
Gameplay 10/10
If you like FPSs then the gameplay is great nothing revolutionary but then again the old saying goes "If it's not broken, don't fix it." It is as good as an FPS can get in my humble view.
In the end this game is simply put art, the other two came close, but this one succeeded. If you want a great experience buy this game as it is well worth it.

Smoke jumping firefighter Jesse Graves parachutes into a forest blaze in order to save ornothilogist Jennifer and a number of trapped firemen. However, Jesse's task gets much harder when he discovers that the "firemen" are in fact criminals trying to recover stolen cash.
Broad-shouldered, wide-chinned American athletic hunk Howie Long would seem to be suited by name and acting talent to Dirk Diggler movies, but this vehicle is an attempt to launch him as an action hero. Long plays a "smoke-jumper", a fireman who specialises in parachuting into forest fires, and the Cliffhanger/River Wild-style plot has him come up against escaped convict William Forsythe and his diminishing band of henchman against the backdrop of a huge fire. Suzy Amis as an ornithologist trapped in the blaze and Scott Glenn in his old role from Backdraft are stalwart and Forsythe overacts wildly, but the dreary Long renders all the spectacle senseless.
Real trees died for this film.

GM Needs to Work Through Its Demons
Late Tuesday, I participated in an interesting discussion about General Motors (GM) among a few Real Money contributors, with the traders wondering what we value players thought of the stock. Shares are down 45% year to date and, so far, the much-heralded "initial public offering" just over a year ago hasn't turned out the way many believed it would. While I tend to stick to much smaller names, this is a much bigger fish on which I've had some strong opinions over the years.
In fact, in one of my earliest Real Money columns, back in 2008, I opined that bankruptcy was probably in the company's future. Given my grandfather's long career at a GM plant, these were tough words to write. We were a GM family. We owned nothing but Chevy vehicles until the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the quality became so horrendous that we went another route. To the company's credit, GM turned that issue around and starting building much better vehicles. But so did everyone else....460 more words left in this article.

Aim: The expansion of cellular therapeutics will require large-scale manufacturing processes to expand and package cell products, which may not be feasible with current blood-banking bag technology. This study investigated the potential for freezing, storing and shipping cell therapy products using novel pharmaceutical-grade Crystal Zenith((R)) (CZ) plastic vials. Materials & methods: CZ vials (0.5, 5 and 30 ml volume) with several closure systems were filled with mesenchymal stem cells and stored at either -85 or -196 degrees C for 6 months. Vials were tested for their ability to maintain cell viability, proliferative and differentiation capacity, as well as durability and integrity utilizing a 1-m drop test. As controls, 2 ml polypropylene vials were investigated under the same conditions. Results: Post-thaw viability utilizing a dye exclusion assay was over 95% in all samples. Stored cells exhibited rapid recovery 2 h post-thaw and cultures were approximately 70% confluent within 5-7 days, consistent with nonfrozen controls and indicative of functional recovery. Doubling times were consistent over all vials. The doubling rate for cells from CZ vials were 2.14 +/- 0.83 days (1 week), 1.84 +/- 0.68 days (1 month) and 1.79 +/- 0.71 days (6 months), which were not significantly different compared with frozen and fresh controls. Cells recovered from the vials exhibited trilineage differentiation consistent with controls. As part of vial integrity via drop testing, no evidence of external damage was found on vial surfaces or on closure systems. Furthermore, the filled vials stored for 6 months were tested for container closure integrity. Vials removed from freezer conditions were transported to the test laboratory on dry ice and tested using pharmaceutical packaging tests, including dye ingress and microbial challenge. The results of all stoppered vials indicated container closure integrity with no failures. Conclusion: Pharmaceutical-grade plastic CZ vials, which are commercially used to package pharmaceutical products, are suitable for low-temperature storage and transport of mesenchymal stem cells, and are a scalable container system for commercial manufacturing and fill-finish operation of cell therapy products.

Aerosol Propellants
Compressed gases or vapors in a container which, upon release of pressure and expansion through a valve, carry another substance from the container. They are used for cosmetics, household cleaners, and so on. Examples are BUTANES; CARBON DIOXIDE; FLUOROCARBONS; NITROGEN; and PROPANE. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
A process in which peripheral blood is exposed in an extracorporeal flow system to photoactivated 8-methoxypsoralen (METHOXSALEN) and ultraviolet light - a procedure known as PUVA THERAPY. Photopheresis is at present a standard therapy for advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma; it shows promise in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Dendritic Cells
Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).
Laser Therapy, Low-level
Treatment using irradiation with LASER light of low power intensity so that the effects are not due to heat, as in LASER THERAPY. These non-thermal effects are thought to be mediated by a photochemical reaction that alters CELL MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY, leading to increased mRNA synthesis and CELL PROLIFERATION. Low-level laser therapy has been used for a wide variety of conditions, but most frequently for wound healing and pain control.
Cell-free System
A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology. (From Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2d ed, p166)
