The rule with the Tennessee Titans is to not let them hang around as they are 3-1 in games decided by seven points or less. Chicago accomplished that wish scores in all three phases of the game in the first quarter Sunday en route to a 51-20 win.
Chicago (7-1) was once again led by their defense, with the offensive unit holding their own in this one. Charles Tillman forced four fumbles, Brian Urlacher returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown and the special teams unit even blocked a punt, scooped it and scored.
For those of you keeping score at home, that is seven touchdowns for Chicago's defense, and special teams is finally on the board with one.
Tillman got things going for the defense from the get-go, stripping Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt on the team's first play from scrimmage.
"We didn't want to have a repeat of last week against Carolina," Tillman said. "This week our whole motto was, 'Let's start fast.' To create a turnover on the first play of the game was the mindset going into the game."
Although Chicago didn't turn that turnover into points, the team scored a franchise-record 28 points in the first quarter. Corey Wootton's blocked punt return and Urlacher's interception return accounted for half the scoring, while Matt Forte ran in a score and wide receiver Brandon Marshall caught his first of three touchdowns in that first quarter.
Urlacher's performance made the team believe he truly is back to form.
"We have been waiting for Brian to really step up like that," Bears head coach Lovie Smith said. "Outstanding job by him. Touchdown, caused fumble, recovered fumble. The defense was a frenzy out there, really taking the ball away."
The defense forced five turnovers, four via fumbles.
Titans owner Bud Adams was far less than impressed by his team.
"In my 50 years of owning an NFL franchise, I am at a loss to recall a regular-season home game that was such a disappointment for myself, and fans of the Titans," Adams told The Tennessean. "We were grossly outcoached and outplayed from start to finish today."
At this time, all aspects of the organization will be closely evaluated, including front office, coaches and players over the next seven games. If performance and competitiveness does not improve, I will look at all alternatives to get back to having the Titans become a playoff and championship football team."
Those comments put head coach Mike Munchak on the hot seat as his team didn't execute what he said was the most crucial part of the team's game plan — protecting the football.
Another reason this game was embarrassing for the Titans was the amount of Bears fans at LP Field. Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler said weird hearing all the positive chants on the road and quieting a the crowd in the red zone, and having them listen on the road.
Brandon Marshall finished the game with more than 100 yards for the fourth time this year, corralling nine receptions for 122 yards and three scores.
The lone bright spot for the Titans in this one was running back Chris Johnson. Despite losing two fumbles, he ran for 141 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown, and tied Jim Brown for the second-most 110-yard rushing games in a player's first five seasons with twenty-eight.
Otherwise, it was a forgettable day to be a Tennessee Titan, and a great day to associate with the Chicago Bears.Tags: Brandon Marshall, Brian Urlacher, Bud Adams, Charles Tillman, Chicago, Chicago Bears, Chris Johnson, Corey Wootton, Football, Jay Cutler, Lovie Smith, Matt Forte, Mike Munchak, NFL, Tennessee Titans

It's a basic feature of Ruby. It occurred to me when thinking about online battles that the only information you really need to send across are the initial conditions (i.e. the party Pokémon at the start, not the battlers), the chosen commands and any outcomes of randomness - everything else is calculated. Knowing how an RNG works, I then figured you don't even need to send the outcomes of randomness; just sync the seed at the start and it becomes just more calculations. In theory.
An example of setting the RNG seed is in the Lottery mini-game. Here the seed is set depending on the day, which ensures the winning number is the same on any given day. You'll probably want to randomise it again afterwards to prevent any possible abuse (not that I think anyone will care enough to try it for a fangame).
I must have missed the random number seed section while analysing the battle system, cheers for that!
That sounds like a very unnecessary way of getting online battles to work. If you synchronise the random number seed at the beginning of the battle for all participants, then all random events in the battle will be the same for both players (assuming identical code). This way you only need to send the information about which command is chosen, and play each round locally for each player, knowing that the RNG is playing out the exact same moves for each participant so there'll be no desynching.
I'm not sure how to answer your question. pbAttackPhase starts the activity and handles retreating and priority calculations. Then for each battler, in order of priority, that battler's pbProcessTurn is run. pbProcessTurn makes that battler use a move. The process of using a move is definitely a jumble of code.
Not for debugging, for sending over a socket connection. (working on plug and play pvp battling). I figured out that problem anyway. PokeBattle_Battler has an instance variable @battle which refers back to PokeBattle_Battle. When attempting to dump the battler, the battle variable also gets dumped. PokeBattle_Battle contains the scene variable which refers to PokeBattle_ActualScene so in actual fact I ended up dumping the entirety of the scene and logic of the battle. Creating custom marshal dump and load methods for PokeBattle_Battler which excludes @battle (and @moves since PokeBattle_Moves also has a @battle instance variable) solved the problem.
Also, you wouldn't happen to have a layout of the battle logic and how, in specific, pbAttackPhase maps out the attack logic. I think I have the basics mapped out in my head but its difficult to keep track of, if not, cheers anyway!
What would you possibly want to do that for? Debugging purposes? Surely there are better ways...
You'll have put the dump code in the wrong place. Marshal.dump(@battlers[0]) will work somewhere in PokeBattle_Battle and that's about it. Also, you can't really use that line all by itself - you'll need to open a file to dump it into - check other dumping for examples.
Hey Maruno, trying to dump the @battlers variable in PokeBattle_Battle with Marshal.dump (in specific @battlers[0]) however I'm getting "marshal_dump not defined for class viewport". I'm aware that Marshal can't dump certain classes however I can't find where viewport is called in PokeBattle_Battler, would you have any idea?

If Russians ultranationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky was hoping his current trip to America would clean up his image as a potential dictator and anti-Semite, he failed.
At a news conference here, he called Jews a negative influence on Russia, blaming them for the Bolshevik revolution, the breakup of the strong Soviet state and criminal enterprises in his country.
He then renounced anti-Semitism.
"We have a very good attitude to all minorities in Russia," he said through a translator, saying that neither he nor his Liberal Democratic Party has formally taken a position on the Jewish minority.
Zhirinovsky addressed the United Nations Correspondents Association on Wednesday, following a speech Monday night to the World Affairs Council in San Francisco.
He was scheduled to speak at the National Press Club in Washington on Friday.
At the United Nations on Wednesday, when asked whether he thought the Jewish minority was playing a positive role in Russia, he replied, "I can't say they are playing a positive role. They are playing a negative role.
"We are patriots of the state, but the majority of those who welcomed the destruction of the state are those who represent the Jewish minority," he said.
Zhirinovsky then proceeded to distance himself from this statement, as he did from his similar remarks.
"This is not my position. This is the position of the people," he said.
Continuing in his original vein, he said that Russia's "new business structures are held mostly by Jewish people. Lots of people understand that a lot of money in these structures are criminal. This explains our opposition to these criminal structures.
"This is not our position. This is the position of the people," he repeated.
Similarly, Zhirinovsky put the blame on "present propaganda" for saying that "the October Revolution in 1917 was made by those who had been mostly Jewish.
"But this is not our word. This is the word of propaganda. The propaganda is saying the previous regime is a cruel regime – that is why they are against those who made this revolution.
"That is why I would like only to explain what happened. When we are asked why there is anti-Semitism in Russia, we say this is why. We are giving the reasons," he said.
Zhirinovsky again denied repeated reports that his father is Jewish.
"If you find me Jewish parents, I would be happy to embrace him, kiss him, but unfortunately all my relatives are Russian. I would be happy to have any relatives of any nationality," he said.
But the Russian parliamentarian, whose party captured 23 percent of the vote in last December's elections, was forthright about his desire to serve as his country's dictator.
Asked whether he saw any common ground with Russian President Boris Yeltsin, he praised the new Russian constitution for providing for a "strong authoritarian regime," which he lamented has not yet come to pass.
"This is the only way to resolve the present crisis," he said.
"In principle, I am in favor of a democratic regime, a parliamentary republic. But in our current crisis, such a regime cannot produce results."
Addressing United Nations issues, Zhirinovsky said the world body's policies were better "15 or 20 years ago.
"I'm against the U.N. interfering in the internal affairs of any state," he explained.
He said he would have Russia veto economic embargoes and boycotts, such as those presently imposed against Libya, Iraq and the former Yugoslavia.
Regarding the Balkans, he said, "The only solution is the withdrawal of all foreign troops from the region, including the U.N."

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - March 27, 2013) -
The EC is providing total funding of EUR 6.0 million ($7.7 million) to the MEUSIX consortium. The European Commission recently announced on Rare Disease Day 2013 that this grant was a part of EUR 144 million ($186 million) of new funding focused on rare disease research projects that will help improve the lives of some of the 30 million Europeans suffering from a rare disease.
"We are pleased the European Commission has awarded this grant that will enable us to participate with Fondazione Telethon and our other partners in a first-in-human study using a NAV rAAV8-based gene delivery treatment for MPS VI," said Ken Mills, President and CEO, REGENX Biosciences. "The results from this clinical trial could have a tremendous impact on the natural history of MPS VI and significantly improve the quality of life of the affected patients. Moreover, the approach may facilitate the development of similar approaches for other inborn errors of metabolism. As the lead commercial partner in the MEUSIX consortium, we are committed to helping accelerate the development of meaningful treatments for MPS VI for patients worldwide."
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI, or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by deficient activity of arylsulfatase B (ARSB). MPS VI is characterized by growth retardation, corneal clouding, cardiac valve disease, organomegaly, and skeletal dysplasia, without central nervous system involvement. Thus, systemic therapies targeting peripheral organs have the potential to fully correct the MPS VI phenotype. Enzyme replacement therapy, the current treatment for MPS VI, requires weekly infusions of a costly enzyme and has limited efficacy on bone and corneal disease. Based on the encouraging preclinical results generated by the members of the MEUSIX consortium, gene therapy based on a single intravascular administration of NAV rAAV8 vectors targeting the liver has the potential to provide a durable source of ARSB. It is estimated that approximately 1,200 patients in developed countries have MPS VI.

DADE CITY — On the evening of Feb. 24, Christy McBride lost half of her tooth while sitting on her couch watching a movie. It was a molar on her upper right side. It split in half — a result of years of subconsciously grinding her teeth. Her front teeth are straight and pretty, but she has few molars left. When you have no money, it's cheaper to get bad teeth pulled than to get them repaired.
What was left of the broken tooth was sharp and jagged, like an arrow slicing her tongue when she talked or tried to eat. The root was exposed and so anything — a breeze, a cold drink — sent fire piercing through her upper jaw. She began lying down with her cheek pressed on a heating pad, but she can't sleep much. The pain keeps her awake. McBride is a business student at Pasco-Hernando Community College, and her husband is a disabled veteran, though McBride says his insurance does not cover dental costs.
The McBrides and their two children live on his monthly disability check. But after their mortgage payments and other bills, there is little left over. On Friday, the McBrides had $300 left, which has to last them until April 1. McBride does not want to spend any of it on herself, in case something happens to her family and they need the money.
So, McBride, 31, did something she never allows herself to do. She asked for help.
"I am desperately needing a dentist," McBride wrote on Craigslist, in the barter category.
"I can clean your office, run errands, mow your lawn, answer phones, you name it. I have had prior experience as a secretary. I am in school part time but am otherwise pretty flexible. I can pay cash if you are willing to do some sort of payment plan, we only get paid once a month and live off of VA disability. His benefits do not cover the kids or my dental."
It's been two weeks now and she hasn't heard anything.
"I hate this," she said of having to ask for help.
McBride has always done the best she could with what she had. She has two brothers and two sisters and, when she was 5, her parents divorced. Her mother moved to Canada and dropped out of her life. Everything was so unstable, and McBride was lost. At 11, she met David McBride, who was three years older than her. Eventually they began dating, and she moved in with him and his parents in Dade City. David and his family were her anchor. They gave her love and stability and she didn't feel lost anymore. Through working, Christy and David bought their own place, a small mobile home that wasn't great, but was theirs.
"He was my blessing," Christy said of David.
David joined the National Guard and Christy became pregnant during her senior year of high school. She gave birth to a son, named after his father, who joined the Army. Christy and David married in a small white church in Dade City and, two weeks later, were living at Fort Stewart in Georgia. Christy gave birth to a daughter, Farrah. Christy and David settled into the Army life. Christy worked in retail and took care of the kids. Things were good until two things happened: David was in a tank that hit a hole and flipped, causing a severe injury to his lower back and hip, and in 1998, David's mother was diagnosed with cancer.
The McBrides moved back to Dade City and bought a small house, so they could be close to David's mom. Christy loved her so much. She was the mom Christy needed growing up. She died in 1999.
David continued with the National Guard and worked as a detention deputy for the Pasco County Sheriff's Office until his injury wouldn't allow him to do so anymore. Two or three days a week, David couldn't get out of bed. He went through physical therapy and pain management, but his doctors said there wasn't anything else that could be done. So David went on disability. When he began having unexplained seizures, Christy quit her job so she could take care of him. Later, a doctor said he thought it was a reaction to a medication.
David has gone through a lot of emotional pain, not being able to provide for his family. For years now, he has told Christy, "I'm sorry. You deserve better." And she tells him she loves him and that he has nothing to be sorry for.
"You're my hero," she says. "How many girls get to live with their hero?"
In being her anchor, David's stability has given Christy the ability to be that same person for her family. Her brothers routinely live with her, when they need help — so her small house is even more cramped, especially with her four dogs and one cat. She has reconnected with her mother, even though it's painful. Christy is zealous about being a good mother.
"I want the best for them," she said. "I want them to have everything I didn't."
Her son, who is now 14, is determined to be a doctor. A year and a half ago, McBride enrolled at PHCC to earn her college degree. In addition to loving her children, she wants to be an example for them. She had to take out loans to do this, but she knows it is important. Her dream is to open a business in Dade City, maybe a skating rink, to give the children of the city a positive place where they can go.
McBride is on course to graduate this summer with her associate's degree in business. Hopefully, in a few years, she won't have to tolerate screaming pain because she doesn't have the money to go to the dentist. If things go well, she'll be the one who could answer a message like that, with a comforting word and a check of her own.

I'm a pretty active person--Ihike,dive, ski, climb, run, kick, basically I'll try any activity! I'm also a good cook--no light fat free diet foods for me! I do like to cook spicy but can cook up a good ole fashioned southern dinner as well.
I'm straight forward. If I think you look like a total whanker in something I'll let you know however I wouldn't make you change it. I respect other's opinions.... but I would tease you mercilessly about it ;-) and you'd be welcome to do the same. I'm an equal opportunity mocker!
My favorite vacation almost always involves some strenuous hiking. On the couch potato side, Sundays in the winter I'm all about Football.
Hmm I guess I should say more. I'm definitely not the quiet and shy type. I have no problem talking to complete strangers. I'm very outgoing and have a good sense of humor.Even when I'm feeling lousy I keep my sense of humor. Freezing, starving, exhausted, hell even being chased by cows-ok I was freaked but was able to laugh about it! My cheer can keep you smiling even after doing 30 pushups! Quick clarification on that--my humor is not the "sunshine oh golly gee whiz you can do it, when life gives you lemons make lemonade" but more the sarcastic "hmmm I'm about to be run over by a herd of cows, holy crap I bet they can smell that yummy hamburger I ate for lunch! They're out for blood!"
I can be a bit nerdy. We have a Beta fish, I named it Hans. If you get that pun you really should get in touch.
I'm looking for a good natured fellow, someone who loves the outdoors, who doesn't mind getting muddy or freezing their butt off!
I am active, gregarious, and quirky
Moviewise off the top of my head Serenity, Batman Begins, Major League, Talladaga Nights, BraveHeart, Aliens, The English Patient, Full Metal Jacket, Princess Bride, Shawshank Redemption, Master and Commander, Crouching Tiger-Hidden Dragon, A Beautiful Mind, Touching the Void--may that never happen to me!, South Park.. really I can see anything.
Music pretty standard really, U2, Led Zepplin, Midnight Oil, Depeche Mode, NIN, They Might be Giants but am always willing to hear new bands usually via friends introducing me to their stuff. Also really enjoy classical especially piano and cello. There are some really wonderful movie sound tracks out there!
Food--Anything but fast food. I cook and I mean that. I can make any flavor of mini cheesecake. I really love to cook! Some day I might even write down the things I cook. Only the good ones though!
Now you see the reason for the quirky adjective don't ya? Disturbed or intrigued?

HMS BULWARK has been honoured for her Olympic and Paralympic service with a special flag.
Mayor of Portland Sylvia Bradley presented the specially commissioned Portland flag to the crew of the fleet flagship in recognition of their work during this summer's Games.
The warship provided security services in Portland Harbour and Weymouth Bay as part of the Olympic and Paralympic maritime security plan in partnership with Dorset Police .
Mrs Bradley said she had been 'very impressed' when she had visited the ship and said she wanted to recognise 'the commitment of all the men and women who worked so hard to support the Olympics and Paralympics in the region.' She said: "My visit to the ship was quite remarkable, arriving into the dock inside in a passenger vessel was just amazing." She added: "It has been good to have the Royal Navy back on the island."
Commanding Officer of HMS Bulwark Captain Alex Burton said: "This is a kind gesture from the Mayor of Portland and cements an enduring relationship that Portland and the community still maintains with the Royal Navy, long after HMS Osprey closed. We would like to thank the Mayor and all islanders for their hospitality and friendship."
HMS Bulwark will depart today for Devonport.

KONGSBERG maritime simulators will enable a new partnership between Nord University, Bodin and Lofoten Maritime Vocational Schools and the Nordland county administration in Norway. The partnership has been established to strengthen education, training and innovative research within Arctic maritime safety and security. The objective is to increase safety and contribute to increased competence on maritime SAR and oil spill response operations in the northern regions. The institutions, which form the new "Maritime Campus North" partnership, will collaborate in maritime education, course offerings, innovation and research. The target groups are government and industry search and rescue (SAR) organisations, oil spill response organisations, ship owners and the oil and gas industry.
Central to the cooperation is the development of a common technical platform based on KONGSBERG simulators. KONGSBERG won the tenders issued by Maritime Campus North and will contribute with upgrades and extensions of the simulator capacity at the three training institutions. At Lofoten Vocational School, a unique oil spill preparedness simulator will be installed. At Bodin Vocational School, KONGSBERG will upgrade the fast craft vessel bridge with new hardware and visual system in addition to delivering an aft bridge simulator with integrated Dynamic Positioning simulator for DP2 training. At Nord University, KONGSBERG will deliver four new part task ship's bridge simulators with visual scenes, which will be central in crisis management education and training. A new resource surveillance system and a crisis management system is also included. The new simulator platform will be among the most advanced tools for combined nautical, safety and security education world-wide.
The simulator systems at all three training institutions will be integrated and used to form joint nautical and emergency management training across geographical locations, providing a unique platform for international cooperation in this field.
"It is important that the education and training institutions can interact to strengthen emergency education and maximise the use of advanced simulator systems," says Odd Jarl Borch, professor at Nord University. "The expansion of new simulator capabilities in the region meets demand for advanced training for government institutions, ship owners, oil and gas companies and other organisations operating, exploring and developing Polar waters. Of special importance is the growing interest from the cruise and petroleum industry for the Arctic regions and the implementation of the Polar code. The Nord University is now initiating a new circumpolar education and research network on Arctic Safety and Security including twenty universities under the University of the Arctic umbrella. This will give us an excellent academic platform for further international cooperation."
"We are proud to take part in this important nautical and emergency management competence project for the northern areas," adds Paal Aamaas, Sr. Vice President of Maritime Simulation, Kongsberg Digital. "Our advanced simulator platforms installed at these three training institutions establish a world-leading, collaborative solution for improving safety and SAR and oil spill response competence by reaching a number of government and industry groups. The exciting integration potential of this unique training environment also has wider implications for international cooperation and interaction."

Rachel Bay Jones and Jennifer Hope Wills Join GHOSTLIGHT Reading, 12/2
Pippin star Rachel Bay Jones (Women on the Verge...; Hair) and Jennifer Hope Wills (Wonderful Town; The Phantom of the Opera) have joined the cast of the highly anticipated industry reading of Ghostlight, with book, music and lyrics by Matthew Martin and Tim Realbuto. Jones and Wills join previously announced Tony nominee Robert Cuccioli, Trevor McQueen, and Kimberly Faye Greenberg. The industry reading will take place on December 2nd at the famed New 42nd Street Studios.
Ghostlight had a sold out and extended run at the Signature Theatre in 2011 as part of NYMF. The show has been revamped since then. Alison Holman will provide musical direction for the upcoming reading, with the creators Martin and Realbuto co-directing.
Ghostlight tells the true story of infamous Ziegfeld Follies girl and silent film star Olive Thomas, whose ghost is said to still haunt the New Amsterdam Theatre today. In Ghostlight, we see Olive's rise to fame in the Ziegfeld Follies alongside Fanny Brice, her affair with Ziegfeld (who was famously married to stage and screen star Billie Burke), her whirlwind Hollywood marriage to Jack Pickford, and ultimately her tragic downfall, which led to her mysterious death at age 25 in Paris.
Ms. Jones will play Molly Cook, a comedienne in the Follies and Olive's best friend who ultimately unlocks a major secret. Ms. Wills will play Doris/Cora/Lois Long and others. Casting for the coveted roles of Billie Burke and Olive Thomas will be announced shortly.
Although the reading is closed to the public, the creators have initiated a raffle to anyone who donates to their IndieGoGo campaign. The winner of the raffle will receive two seats to the special event. You can donate to Ghostlight and enter the raffle at http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ghostlight-a-new-musical.
Jones is currently receiving critical acclaim for starring as Catherine in the hit Broadway revival of Pippin. Her other Broadway credits include Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown; Hair; and Meet Me in St. Louis. She starred Off-Broadway in Hello Again, as well as the National Tour of A Christmas Story. Her popular solo album ShowFolk was recently released by Plum Song Records following sold out engagements at Joe's Pub.
Wills is most known for starring on Broadway as Eileen Sherwood opposite Brooke Shields in the critically acclaimed revival of Wonderful Town (She also recorded the new cast recording with Shields). Ms. Wills holds the distinction of being The Phantom of the Opera's third longest running Christine Daaé in Broadway history. She played for role for over four years and well over 900 performances. Her other Broadway credits include Beauty and the Beast and The Woman in White. Wills also starred in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn for City Center Encores! and The Merry Widow at The Metropolitan Opera.

First Lady Michelle Obama Gets The Cover For Glamour's Women Of The Year Issue
Michelle Obama is doing her part to save the struggling magazine industry by appearing on the cover of Glamour for its December Women of the Year issue. Editor in chief Cindi Leive writes on Glamour's website that the magazine is honoring the first lady's "commitment to mentoring young women." On the inside pages, Michelle is pictured with seven interns from the East Wing, and she gives women advice for reaching our goals:
"I was blessed throughout my entire career. I had people rooting for me. It started with my parents, but it extended to almost every teacher that I had. When I was a young lawyer, there were other women and men in the firm who took me under their wing. Look for those mentors, because sometimes mentors don't find you — sometimes you seek them out. Oftentimes, they're flattered and glad to lend a hand."
And, even though the first lady always seems to be doing things for everybody but herself, she says looking out for yourself is important:
"I have always tried to put my kids first, and then … put myself a really close second, as opposed to fifth or seventh. One thing that I've learned from male role models is that they don't hesitate to invest in themselves."
The issue hits newsstands next week, and we're excited to read the rest of Michelle's interview with Katie Couric, who has a new column in the magazine. This is the first time a first lady has been pictured on Glamour's cover in the magazine's 70-year history. Do you think being photographed and interviewed for such a mainstream, non-news magazine hurts Michelle's image at all? Or is she simply proving, once again, that she's smart enough to appear in a red party dress on a women's magazine cover, as well as influence change in Washington? [Glamour]

Roman Gladiator Reproduction Coin Set
- For seven centuries Rome celebrated its aggressive martial legacy of the gladiator. The gladiator was an armed fighter who entertained crowds in the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. The word 'gladiator' comes from the Latin word for swordsman. The gladiator's sword was called a gladius.
Rome's gladiatorial games publicly memorialized the art of 'dying well' throughout the Republic and Empire. Gladiatorial games were held between gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals.
Roman emperors performed in the gladiatorial arenas with minimum risk. They included Caligula, Claudius, Caligula, Caracalla, and Commodus. Three gold coins of emperor "gladiators" are include in this set. These are an gold aureii of Caligula, struck in Lugubrious in 37 B.C. (Sear 1813); Claudius, struck in Lugnumum I A.D. 51. (Sear 1885); and Commodus, struck in Rome in A.D. 192 (Sear 5604).
Two hundred thirty amphitheaters and 60 circuses were built for gladiatorial games during the Republic and Roman Empire.
Two Roman coins, sestertii, show pictures of two gladiatorial game venues. First, is the greatest the Amphitheater Flavium or Roman Colosseum. Emperor Vespasian began construction in A.D. 64. The Colosseum was inaugurated by Emperor Titus in A.D. 80 as a gift to the Roman people. The building seated 50,000 people. This coin reverse shows the Colosseum with part of interior, gangways, arch, and obelisk. The obverse shows gladiator-emperor Titus seated left on a chair. Struck in Rome in A.D. 80. (Sear 2536).
Rome's Circus Maximus held gladiatorial games, chariot races, and reenactments of naval battles. The sesterius reverse shows the Circus from the Forum Boarium. The obverse shows the emperor-gladiator Caracalla facing right. Struck in Rome in A.D. 213. (Sear 6929).

These apps allow you to analyze the wireless access points and channels on the 2.4 and 5GHz bands. Now we're reviewing apps, published as Universal Windows Platform apps on the Microsoft Store, that run on Windows 10 PCs, tablets and phones. The Wi-Fi features that developers can utilize in the Universal Windows Platform are still pretty limited. But these apps are inexpensive and/or free. Here are the individual reviews:See the entire review. NET RESULTS If you're looking for a free app, consider WiFi Analyzer, WiFi Monitor, and WiFi Scout. WiFi Scout lacks some advanced features, but it does create separate network lists for the 2.4 and 5GHz bands and it keeps out-of-range access points on the list. WiFi Analyzer offers good filtering options, although sorting could be improved. WiFi Monitor has integrated speed testing for the paid app, but lacks sorting and filtering of the network list and ability to change the wireless adapter. Both WiFi Commander and WiFi Tool are paid apps but offer free trials and provide great features and functionality. They offer 3D graphs and numerous sorting and filtering options. See larger image WiFi Analyzer WiFi Analyzer is published by Matt Hafner. We evaluated Version 1.7.0, a free full-featured ad-supported edition. However, for $1.99 you can remove the occasional video ads. When you first open WiFi Analyzer, you can choose your location. The app has three different tabs: Connected, Analyze, and Networks. On the Connected page, you see the details of any current Wi-Fi connection. On the Analyze page, you can access the graphs and channel ratings. On the Networks page, you find the list of detected SSIDs. On the bottom menu, you can toggle sorting between name or signal and show/hide the network details. Like from the Analyze page, you can adjust the filtering, which applies to both pages. Lastly, from the Networks page you can connect to a network. See larger image WiFi Commander WiFi Commander is published by Forged Bytes. We evaluated version 18.104.22.168. After the full-featured 30-day trial, you can purchase the app for $2.99. When you open WiFi Commander, you see tabs on the left-hand side for four main pages: Networks, Monitor, Analyze 3D, and Settings. On the Networks page, you see the list of SSIDs and their details. On the top of the Networks page, you see the time of the last scan, total number of APs, and menus to customize details, adjust the sorting and grouping, and to perform filtering. On the monitor page, you see a line graph of the signals. You have menus and shortcuts to customize details, perform filtering, and switch between the 2.4 and 5GHz bands. On the Analyze 3D page, you see 3D type of channel usage graphs for both 2.4 and 5GHz. WiFi Monitor WiFi Monitor is published by Mark Rizzo. We evaluated version 184.108.40.206. Although they offer what's classified as a trial, it's more like a free edition since the trial doesn't end. However, functionalities are excluded. Connecting to Wi-Fi networks within the app, seeing the AP vendors, and performing download and upload speed tests are only available on the paid app for $1.99. There are four main tabs: Dashboard, Graph, List, and Ratings. If you have the paid app, you'll see the Speed Test tab. The Dashboard page has a signal indicator showing the strength of your current connection, with connection details on the right of the page. On the List page, you see a simple list of the networks, which you can't filter or sort. In the paid app, you can click on a network to view the detected AP vendor and also connect to them within the app. WiFi Scout WiFi Scout was developed by Devin Wong. This is a free app with no ads, and certainly the simplest app we reviewed. When you open WiFi Scout, you're met with only two tabs: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Both have a channel usage graph, showing the signal strength of each SSID. Below the graph, is the network list for that particular frequency band. Although the SSID, channel, signal, and state (active/inactive) are the only details shown by default, you can add the following: band, MAC address, encryption, authentication, physical kind (wireless standard), beacon interval, Wi-Fi direct support, and uptime. See larger image WiFi Tool WiFi Tool is published by Helge Magnus Keck. We reviewed version 188.8.131.52. After the free trial, you can purchase the app for $1.99. After opening WiFi Tool, you'll find a menu on the left side for four main tabs: WLAN, Analyze, Traffic, and Settings. On the WLAN page you see a list of the SSIDs and their details. If you select an SSID, a pane on the right appears showing more details. On the Analyze page, you can access graphs, which you can flip between 2.4 and 5GHz. First shown is the channel usage graph, but you can also switch to a line graph showing signal over time. On the top of the Analyze page, there's a shortcut to enable split view.

Behind the Line: Talking Trunks with Michael Tower from SALTBOX
Summer's not quite over, right? Well, when you're beach bingeing in an attempt to get those last few days in before fall, you're going to need a versatile swim short that can get you out of the water and on your way. One of our summer favorites has been SALTBOX's lineup of trunks, hoodies, and tees. Michael Tower is a grown-ass man who needed a grown-ass trunk to match his lifestyle, so he created one. We tracked him down last week to talk shop.
The GQ Eye: What lead you to start a swimwear/beach lifestyle company?
Michael Tower: SALTBOX began on a deck out east [in the Hamptons.] It caught my eye that men were wearing swim shorts that weren't age appropriate; either too "young" (long and baggy) or too "old" (short and elastic). It surprised me that there wasn't a short that fit just right, and had details that looked sharp not only at the beach, but if you wanted to throw on a button-down and head into town. That element of looking good at any age was key. The following week I began my quest for the perfect short and the company was created.
GQ: What makes a great swim trunk?
Tower: Fit, color, detail, comfort, and look. I'm 40, so I look for a short that works for me now. Fit is crucial and I'm repeating myself from above, but the fit needs to be just right, and the details and comfort level have to be on point.
GQ: What are your favorite beach spots/escapes and why?
Tower: I'm from Minnesota, so I'm more of a lake person than a ocean escape person. When I do travel, I'm headed for Tulum, Mexico with friends. The beaches are perfect, peaceful and relaxing. When I head to dinner and drinks I'm usually still wearing my shorts from the beach, so I need them to be able to stand up effortlessly to whatever else I'm wearing.
GQ: Surf and beach lifestyle seem to be such prevalent ideas in menswear right now, any theories on why?
Tower: Were all so busy at our jobs, and living in a concrete landscape like Manhattan, that beach mindset is the gateway to a great escape. The oceanside surroundings (sound, color, texture, elements of relaxation) create a profound switch that takes us away from our daily lives. Have you ever come back from a beach vacation and everyone notices your tan? They're jealous. I'll see you all in the water.

Mum Karla Sneddon is aiming to raise thousands of pounds for Ronald McDonald House to thank the charity for the help it gave her family when her new-born son had life-saving surgery.
Last year Alfie was born with imperforate anus, a rare birth defect where the rectum is malformed, and needed immediate surgery.
Miss Sneddon, 23, of Whitley Road in Aldbourne, and her son were transferred from Swindon Great Western Hospital to Bristol Children's Hospital the day after Alfie was born.
Miss Sneddon said: "We literally had to go as we were; it was traumatic because I thought he was going to die and if he hadn't had this surgery he would have."
While Alfie had his surgery Miss Sneddon and her 43-year-old partner, Matthew Anderson, spent five days at the Ronald McDonald House – just five minutes away from the hospital. Miss Sneddon said: "They provide a home away from home and I think it's a fantastic organisation.
"I don't know what we would have done without them. At the hospital they just provide one bed so both me and my partner wouldn't have been able to stay and there is a life line in the room so that the hospital could contact us if they needed to."
Since then Alfie has had two more operations and now, having celebrated his first birthday a few weeks ago, he is fighting fit.
In November Miss Sneddon raised £188 for the charity through a craft fair. The next fair will take place at Marlborough Leisure Centre on June 7 from 1pm-5pm.

TAMPA — Unemployment, government bailouts and deficit spending may be dominating the national political debate.
But the economy is also front and center in one of the more hard-fought races for a Hillsborough County Commission seat.
Current Commissioner Ken Hagan, a Republican, is trying to leap from his District 2 seat representing northern Hillsborough to the at-large District 5 post. He's doing so in part by touting his record on jobs, including a ballot initiative he sponsored that would rebate property taxes for up to 10 years for new or expanding businesses.
He faces Democrat Linda Saul-Sena, a former Tampa City Council member. She is the sole supporter in the race of a transit referendum that, if approved, includes new light rail that she says will create jobs immediately and invite new investment in urban areas.
Dogging both of them is independent Jim Hosler, a former planner. He says Hagan's ballot proposal will hurt existing small businesses, which he supports, and that the rail plan is doomed to failure.
If Hosler has attracted attention, it has been for his outspoken criticism of the rail initiative. Still, he said his real concern is for the economy and small business owners.
On that front, "The reason I picked this race is it has the two weakest candidates," Hosler said.
Saul-Sena and Hagan have waged a bruising battle in recent weeks, accusing each other of a variety of misdeeds tangentially tied to the economy and government spending. Saul-Sena has accused Hagan of missing meetings of government agencies' committees dealing with transportation, employment and affordable housing that are part of his commission duties.
Hagan has acknowledged his spotty attendance, blaming it on family obligations, while noting he has a near perfect record of showing up for actual commission meetings that count the most. He has accused Saul-Sena of nearly jeopardizing the opening of an Ikea furniture store, with its 300 jobs, over petty concerns about a design that she believed was generic and a bad fit for its Ybor City surroundings.
Hagan, 43, has spent eight years on the commission, his early time devoted to small-ticket items of concern to his district, such as parks, libraries and fire stations. More recently, he has tackled broader issues, including forming an economic development task force looking for ways to rethink job creation.
Results are still a work in progress, but he said it has led to lowering the threshold for companies seeking tax incentives from having to create at least 50 jobs to 10. Economic development officials are also preparing for an analysis of Hillsborough's strengths, weaknesses and opportunities on the job-creation front.
"Honestly I think, going back several years, the economy and job creation has been a priority of mine," Hagan said. "From what I can, tell that's never been a concern of Ms. Saul-Sena's. She talks more about the environment and historic preservation."
Those have been top concerns of Saul-Sena, 59, who served 20 years on the Tampa City Council. She argues they are important because they contribute to Hillsborough's quality of life and sense of place, which are important for luring businesses.
She said the 1-cent sales tax proposal on the ballot, with its rail component, will further add to the quality of life by promoting a vibrant city center. It will redirect development to urban areas where roads and sewer lines can accommodate it, and away from rural areas that can't and where many residents don't want it.
"I've been promoting the concept of an active, healthy, lively center for more than 30 years," Saul-Sena said. "To me, investing in our transportation will define our economy in the future."
She's also been a vocal proponent of green construction, which she said was also lacking in the Ikea building.
Hosler, 58, spent 18 years with the Hillsborough County City-County Planning Commission, chiefly as a demographer, though he did work on localized community plans. He had state jobs before that, principally promoting small business development.
Therein lies his passion, which also forms his beliefs that Hagan and Saul-Sena's economic agendas are flawed.
Hagan frequently cites a prospective Bass Pro Shops as a likely early beneficiary of his proposed property tax incentive, noting the outfitter draws shoppers from around the region. But Hosler questions why Hillsborough would court a national chain store that will compete with existing, locally owned stores that won't get the tax break.
He says the sales tax increase backed by Saul-Sena will hurt small-business owners as well and new trains will do little to help them.
Hosler argues that economic recovery should be built on small businesses. The county needs to streamline and make development rules for them more predictable and develop innovative assistance for them, he says.
He has devoted a page to the topic on his campaign website, www.hoslerforhillsborough.com.
"Hillsborough County's recovery from the great recession will be led by a revival in its small business sector," it starts. "The great majority of our job growth has always come from small businesses."

With commodity prices falling and short-sellers circling, Fortescue Metals boss Nev Power has sought to allay concerns over the miner's cashflow position, while insisting he expects a rebound in iron ore demand within months.
As fears grow over the effects China's slowing economic growth could have on the mining boom, the fall in the iron ore spot price has accelerated in recent days, including a 10 per cent fall in the past two days to $US90 a tonne.
Shares in Fortescue, a pure iron ore play, has tracked the commodity price downward and have fallen about 15 per cent in the past week. Shares were down 0.5 per cent, or 2 cents, at $3.63, after falling nearly 5 per cent this morning.
Speaking at an industry lunch in Sydney, Mr Power said it was ''disappointing'' to see the iron ore price drop ''as quickly and as far as it has'' and that it had forced the company to assess its funding options.
''Of course we are constantly looking at what [the falling iron ore price] means for our funding and what we need to do in response to that,'' he said.
He said the market was ''really hard to pick'' but that large price movements due to thin trading in the spot market were ''quite deceptive'' because they did not reflect true underlying demand.
That demand, he said, was underpinned by the Chinese economic growth projections of between 7 and 8 per cent a year, which would translate to between 4 and 5 per cent annual growth in steel production in the country.
''That is very significant growth in steel, and will outdo any other nation in the world certainly in the next 10 years or so,'' Mr Power said.
The Fortescue chief executive said he expected the sharp decline in iron ore prices to be followed by a swift rebound, within a couple of months, to $US120 a tonne.
But he said a lot would ride on the Chinese government stimulating its economy once it was satisfied it had brought inflation and its overheated property market under control.
''If we don't see those cashflows coming from our iron ore sales we will turn to non-debt options to bring in extra funds,'' Mr Power said.
''We can take on more debt, but we don't think its prudent to do much more of that at the moment ... where we are right now, we are at peak debt – albeit a lot of is undrawn.''

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Barry Zito finally won over the fans this year, earning his orange and black stripes, enjoying his best season since signing with the team in 2006.
Zito had been a huge disappoint the last five years after signing his seven-year contract worth $126 million prior to the 2007 season. He reached rock bottom in 2010 after being left off the postseason roster watching the team capture the World Series. Zito vowed to himself to be a huge contributor the next time the team reached the postseason hoping to make a difference.
He showed everyone that 2012 would be a different season beginning with his first start on Monday April 9 against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The Arizona Diamondbacks had just swept the Giants and most Giants fans assumed the team would be 0-4 with Zito on the mound. Zito surprised everyone dominating the Rockies throwing his first shutout since 2003 and first with the Giants tossing a complete game helping the Giants garner their first win of the season. He allowed just four hits and struck out four. A shutout and complete game is very impressive at Coors Field considering how the ball travels and numbers displayed at that ballpark.
Zito used that start to catapult himself the rest of the season winning 15 games, the most he won since 2006 and most with the Giants. He lost eight games producing a 4.15 ERA allowing 186 hits, 91 runs, 20 homers and 114 strikeouts in 184.1 innings. He started 32 games throwing one complete game, one shutout and opponents batted .263 against him.
He excelled the best during night games going 9-3 with a 3.82 ERA in 18 games surrendering 103 hits, 58 strikeouts, 45 runs and the opposition was .264 off him in 101.1 innings. Offensively, Zito smacked four hits, drove in two RBI's and evened walked six times during the regular season.
Zito was on the postseason roster this time around and his defining moment with the Giants came in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. With the Giants trailing 3-1 in the series, Zito threw a masterpiece blanketing the Cardinals through 7.2 innings yielding six hits and striking out six. He even recorded an RBI hit in the victory helping the Giants stave off elimination.
He had the honor of starting Game 1 of the World Series facing the Detroit Tigers and it's ace Justin Verlander. He earned the win in Game 1 going 2-0 in the postseason showcasing a 1.69 ERA in three games allowing 16 hits, three runs and 13 strikeouts in 16 innings as opponents batted .258.
The Giants won Zito's last 14 starts as he went 9-0 in those games and during the season including the postseason the team went 24-11 in his outings. When the Giants scored four runs or more this season for Zito the team went 15-1.
Zito's resurgence reminds everyone of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith who finally won the fans over with his great season in 2011 after years of being criticized. Smith had his shining moment in the playoffs throwing the game-winning touchdown over the New Orleans Saints helping the Niners win that game.
When the Giants receive their championship rings next April at AT&T Park, you can bet Zito will receive the loudest ovation because he saved the Giants season carving his place in team history.

How to move the exchange rate if you must: the diverse practice of foreign exchange intervention by central banks and a proposal for doing it better
The paper is about the art of exchange rate management by central banks. It begins by reviewing the diversity of objectives and practices of central bank intervention in the foreign exchange market. Central banks typically exercise discretion in determining when and to what extent to intervene. Some central banks use publicly declared rules of intervention, with the aim of increasing visibility and strengthening the signaling channel of policy. There is tentative evidence that the volatility of foreign exchange reserves is comparatively lower in emerging market economies where central banks follow some form of rules-based foreign exchange intervention. The paper goes on to argue that when the foreign exchange market includes some large strategic participants, the central bank can achieve superior outcomes if intervention takes the form of a rule, or"schedule,"indicating commitments to buying and selling different quantities of foreign currency conditional on the exchange rate. Exchange rate management and reserve management can then be treated as two independent objectives by the central bank. In line with the stylized facts reviewed, this would enable a central bank to pursue exchange rate objectives with minimum reserve changes, or achieve reserve targets with minimum impact on the exchange rate.

Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson was disappointed on two fronts with his AFL side's 52-point Sunday munching of the Western Bulldogs.
One, that the Crows didn't keep the hapless Dogs to their lowest score in more than half a century.
And two, that he can't clone his star Patrick Dangerfield.
Dangerfield kicked four goals in a best afield display as the Crows won 12.8 (80) to 4.4 (28) at a sodden AAMI Stadium.
With minutes remaining in the match, the Dogs were anchored on 2.4 (16). Two late goals pushed their total away from their all-time low of 1.8 (14) in a 1965 match.
"I loved it when they were only 2.4 with a couple of minutes to go," Sanderson said.
"I was disappointed they got those last couple of goals."
The Crows mentor also lamented that he has only one Dangerfield.
"You sometimes need two of him: you need one in the centre bounce winning clearances and one to kick the ball too," Sanderson said.
"He had the complete game. He won clearances, he kicked goals."
Dangerfield put the polish on the grunt-work of Richard Douglas (25 disposals, nine tackles), Rory Sloane (29 touches, seven tackles) and acting captain Scott Thompson (30 possessions).
They formed a dominant midfield, and with Andy Otten and Ben Rutten ruling in defence, the Crows kept a tight leash on the Dogs.
The Bulldogs didn't score at all for 58 minutes of game time, from late in the opening term to late in the third quarter.
They didn't score a goal from the 27th minute of the first to the 22nd minute of the last - both majors were kicked by Adam Cooney, a standout performer with 30 disposals.
Cooney's captain Matthew Boyd (28 disposals) and Tom Liberatore (33 possessions) battled gamely, defender Brett Goodes was solid and Will Minson won the ruck.
But the rest stand accused of not following coach Brendan McCartney's game plan.
"There were some patches in the game where we were obligated to set the game up a certain way and we didn't do it," McCartney said.
"We almost refused to kick the ball forward, we mucked around with it. And when you do that, the opposition get their wall set and on a greasy, windy day."
The Bulldogs' loss was compounded by a shoulder injury to Ryan Griffen, who will have scans on Monday to determine if he can front against unbeaten Geelong on Saturday night.
Adelaide, now with a 2-2 win-loss ledger, travel to meet Carlton at the MCG on Saturday.

NEW DELHI, Oct 24 (Reuters) - McLaren's Lewis Hamilton has spoken to former team boss and mentor Ron Dennis for the first time since the 2008 Formula One world champion's switch to Mercedes was announced last month.
Hamilton, who has signed a three-year deal to drive for the German manufacturer from next year, said he had visited the McLaren factory in Woking on Friday but there had been no big farewell speech.
"I haven't sat down and spoken to anyone just because we're still in the motion of the year...it's not the end yet," the 27-year-old Briton told reporters on Wednesday ahead of the weekend's Indian Grand Prix.
"It's important now to try and keep the motivation up high, so when I went back I did the normal things that I do," he added at a promotional event for team sponsors Vodafone.
"I spoke to Ron and me and Ron, we're planning to meet up I think it's in Abu Dhabi. We'll go for dinner, have a good chat."
McLaren have backed Hamilton since he was 13 and racing go-karts. The youngster had famously walked up to Dennis at a gala awards event and told him he would drive for him one day.
Dennis, who handed over to Martin Whitmarsh in 2009 and is now McLaren's executive chairman, took a paternal interest in Hamilton's career and gave him his F1 debut in 2007, when he almost won the championship at the first attempt.
Cracks have appeared in the relationship since then and Hamilton told reporters in South Korea 10 days ago that he had still not spoken to Dennis about his decision to leave.
Hamilton, who will replace seven-times champion Michael Schumacher at Mercedes, is reconciled to ending up as an also-ran in a 2012 title race that looks to be between Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
"When I won the world championship, I wasn't as lucky as Sebastian has been to have a car that's as dominant the next year as well," Hamilton said of the 25-year-old German who is chasing a third championship in a row.
"I'm definitely very sad that we've not been able to win another world championship...I feel that we, as a team, are good enough to have done so and I feel that I'm good enough to have done so. For whatever reason it hasn't happened and I'm not going to complain."
Hamilton repeated his view that the championship would probably be out of his reach next year as well, with Mercedes having ground to make up.
With four races remaining in one of the sport's most competitive and hard-fought seasons, Vettel is six points clear of Alonso. Hamilton is fourth, 62 points adrift.
In South Korea, Hamilton had to fight hard for 10th place while McLaren slipped to third in the constructors' standings - six points behind Ferrari and 83 points adrift of leaders and defending champions Red Bull.
"For the rest of the year now it's just to try and help the team win the constructors' championship," said Hamilton.
"Realistically we are too far away, I would say, to win the drivers'. If we did through some kind of miracle, then I'll eat my words."
McLaren last won the constructors' title in 1998, although they would have won the 2007 championship had the team not been stripped of all their points for a scandal involving leaked Ferrari data in their possession.
"We had a chance in 2007, we had it taken away from us. So, yeah, to have that again and go out on a high like that would be fantastic," said Hamilton. (Reporting by Abhishek Takle and Amlan Chakraborty, Editing by Alan Baldwin and John Mehaffey)
