For a vehicle with a sub-$30,000 starting price, the 2009 Kia Borrego easily exceeds expectations when it comes to features. This seems to be a general trend among the Kia lineup, but the 2009 Kia Borrego goes above and beyond and even introduces a new "first" for Kia.
Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com are suitably impressed at the long list of standard features that come on the 2009 Kia Borrego, whether it's in LX or EX trim. Reviewers at Road & Track report that the Kia Borrego "features a slew of standard items including a back-up warning system, Sirius satellite radio with USB and iPod jacks," and "integrated tow hitch." Other features that come standard on both trim levels are "cruise control, remote locking, and power windows and mirrors," according to Cars.com. ConsumerGuide says the upscale EX trim of the Borrego Kia includes "dual-zone automatic climate controls" and a "leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls," along with "automatic headlights" as part of its standard features loadout.
Optional features, some available individually and others grouped into packages, are found in abundance on the Kia Borrego. Motor Trend reviewers are impressed by the list of package items, which includes "an $1,800 premium package (sunroof, Infinity audio, rear A/C, runningboards)" and "a $1,500 luxury package (leather for the first and second rows, heated front seats, power tilt and telescopic steering wheel)." Some of the more noteworthy stand-alone features on the Kia Borrego are an available "navigation system," the first ever on a Kia vehicle, and "DVD entertainment system," though ConsumerGuide points out the DVD system is not available with the navigation option. While many automakers with much more experience in the onboard navigation system department struggle to design user-friendly interfaces, Motor Trend is pleased to report that Kia's first effort "is intuitive." The other major option ConsumerGuide says is available on the Kia Borrego is a "wireless cell phone link" that can be added to either trim level of the Borrego Kia.

William Tecumseh Sherman In the Service of My Country A Life
William Tecumseh Sherman: In the Service of My Country: A Life by James Lee McDonough
2016 | ISBN: 0393241572 | English | 832 pages | EPUB | 3.4 MB
A major new biography of one of America's most storied military figures.
General Sherman's 1864 burning of Atlanta solidified his legacy as a ruthless leader. Yet Sherman proved far more complex than his legendary military tactics reveal. James Lee McDonough offers fresh insight into a man tormented by the fear that history would pass him by, who was plagued by personal debts, and who lived much of his life separated from his family. As a soldier, Sherman evolved from a spirited student at West Point into a general who steered the Civil War's most decisive campaigns, rendered here in graphic detail. Lamenting casualties, Sherman sought the war's swift end by devastating Southern resources in the Carolinas and on his famous March to the Sea. This meticulously researched biography explores Sherman's warm friendship with Ulysses S. Grant, his strained relationship with his wife, Ellen, and his unassuageable grief over the death of his young son, Willy. The result is a remarkable, comprehensive life of an American icon whose legacy resonates to this day. 8 pages of illustrations, 10 maps

Howdy, 'yall.I'm having issues with virDomainRestore failing, particularly under load -- even in 0.7.0, when there's no need to parse through qemu's output to find the monitor PTY.
Digging through strace output of libvirtd and the qemu processes it spawns, this is happening when qemu blocks on the migrate -incoming and ceases to respond to the monitor socket -- though some versions of qemu can go into this state before the monitor socket is even opened, leading to libvirt timing out either while attempting to open the monitor socket or while trying to read therefrom, and subsequently killing the qemu instance it spawned while that instance is still attempting to migrate in its old saved state.
Both of qemu-0.11.0-rc1 and qemu-kvm master have some form of blocking in -incoming exec: which can prevent libvirt from successfully carrying through a resume; I have reproduced the issue (and maintain logs from strace, available on request) irrespective of the state of Chris Lalancette's "Fix detached migration with exec" and "Allow monitor interaction when using migrate -exec" patches. The qemu binaries being used _appear_ to correctly allow monitor interaction prior to -incoming exec:... completion when interactively invoked in the trivial case shown below:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \ -monitor stdio \ -nographic \ -serial file:/dev/null \ -incoming 'exec:sleep 5; echo DONE >&2; kill $PPID' \ /dev/null QEMU 0.10.91 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) DONE $...however, whether these same binaries work as-expected when invoked from libvirt by our automated test system under load is nondeterministic. (I have yet to reproduce the issue in a low-load environment using "virsh restore").
Is someone else working on this? Is a known-good (or believed-good) libvirt/qemu pair available? What can I do to help in getting this issue resolved?
Thanks! --- libvirt-0.7.0 + qemu-kvm-0.11.0-rc1qemudReadMonitorOutput:728 : internal error Timed out while reading monitor startup output
libvirt-0.6.5 + qemu-kvm-0.11.0-rc1error : qemudReadMonitorOutput:705 : internal error Timed out while reading monitor startup output error : qemudWaitForMonitor:1003 : internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to /dev/pts/9 libvir: QEMU error : internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to /dev/pts/9 ^^ particularly interesting, as the above line should have been eaten by qemudExtractMonitorPath rather than emitted as error text
--- <aliguori> -incoming is blocking <aliguori> you cannot interact with the monitor during -incoming<mDuff> ...shouldn't we always be opening the monitor before starting the blocking -incoming bits, though? I don't always see that happening (and have an strace handy where it certainly doesn't).
<aliguori> no <aliguori> well, i think they added some patches for that <aliguori> but originally, that's not how it worked <aliguori> and i think it's silly to work that way <aliguori> -incoming should mean, wait patiently for an incoming migration <aliguori> there's no point in interfacing with the monitor in the interim<mDuff> I agree that interacting may not be called for, but at least connect()ing -- if it's a UNIX socket, the other side won't be able to connect at all until qemu goes first...
<aliguori> heh, well.... <aliguori> that particular race condition is addressed by -daemonize <aliguori> because that's generally true <aliguori> you don't know how long qemu will take to open the monitor<aliguori> but -daemonize makes gives you notification because it doesn't daemonize the process until you've gotten to the point where all sockets are open
<aliguori> but IIRC, libvirt doesn't use -daemonize

Why 'Supergirl' Would Suffer Without Cat Grant
The entire Supergirl fandom when they heard that the series had been renewed for . Not only was it renewed, but it was simultaneously announced that the Melissa Benoist series would be — the home of superhero television. Initially, we were all overjoyed with this news as it meant that there was now the possibility of more crossovers with The Flash and, of course, Supergirl's .
However, due to the unusual network jump, there is the possibility that Supergirl could lose Calista Flockhart and her fierce character Cat Grant as the production will have to move to Vancouver. As Flockhart does not reside in Vancouver, many have questioned whether or not she will make the trip. It's a tricky situation but of course there is always the option for Flockhart to retain a recurring status on the show, as this would allow for her to take short trips to Vancouver and then head back home. If not, then it looks like Supergirl could lose one of its star attractions, which would be a devastating loss for not only the show but the fans as well.
Cat Grant was such a huge part of and it would definitely cause some issues for the writers if Flockhart is unable to return. Let's take a look at why losing Cat Grant would be a terrible loss for Supergirl.
Supergirl's Role Model
Although she can often be cold and abrasive, it's made clear from the pilot episode that Kara has a lot of respect for Cat. Cat is a woman who started at the bottom and worked her way up the male dominated food chain — this is similar to what Kara hopes to achieve in her career. Moreover, Kara as Supergirl also sees Cat as inspirational and often turns to the media mogul in her hour of need.
One could argue that Cat is becoming Supergirl's equivalent of Batman's Alfred — the one person who knows what to do when all hope is lost. Similarly, although she would never admit it, Cat sees Supergirl as as something of a role model — Supergirl is the kind of female figure that Cat wishes she would've had to look up to in her younger years. Together, the pair mould each other into the best versions of themselves.
What Would Become Of CatCo Media?
As I mentioned earlier, Cat Grant's backstory is a large inspiration for the Girl of Steel and Cat often recites how she made her way up the food chain. Cat has what she's strived so hard to achieve: Her own company. Losing Cat would render everything we know about the character obsolete, not to mention: What would become of CatCo media?
There is no possible way that Cat would abandon her pride and joy, especially now that she runs the biggest news agency in National City. Her mogul reputation was furthered after her company got several exclusive stories about Supergirl. Let's not forget that it was Cat who named the heroine in the first place. Losing Cat Grant would be a hard bullet to swallow — it just wouldn't comply with what we know about her as a character.
Kara's Day Job Would Become Obsolete
Although Kara managed to graduate from Cat's assistant to having her own office by the end of the first season, it's more than likely that she would still spend large amounts of her day speaking with and doing errands for Cat. Moreover, assuming that the unlikely event of Cat leaving her company ever did occur, we find it hard to believe that Cat would leave Kara behind.
If Cat was no longer in the picture, then the writers would have to sculpt a whole new storyline for Kara's daily routine which, along with the network jump, could be a lot for viewers to swallow. A lot of screen time is spent in the CatCo Media building, between Kara working for Cat or Kara in her secret crime-fighting room with Winn and James. Coming up with a new job for Kara and possibly a new location runs the risk of wasting a lot of screen time.
Cat's Humor
Supergirl may be known for its remarkably light tone, but some of the villainous threats can be a lot to handle — specifically when they beat Kara to a pulp. Cat Grant not only provides inspiration, she also provides some much-needed levity. Every situation seems a little bit better with one of Cat's remarkable quips or one-liners. Who could forget the time that Cat actually referenced Flockhart's real life husband Harrison Ford? Or when she mistakenly calls Kara "Kiera" — although we think she started doing this deliberately — either way it's still hilarious.
Calista Flockhart's delivery is always excellent and the show would certainly suffer if we didn't get to hear about Cat's lattes and private lifts at least once an episode. Take note, CW!
Calista Flockhart Is Brilliant As Cat
There have been a few previous adaptations of Cat Grant but nobody has brought the character to life like Calista Flockhart. Cat isn't necessarily a likable character in the Superman mythos, but Flockhart's interpretation of Cat is arguably the best thing about the Supergirl TV series. The Ally McBeal legend has added a whole new depth to the character and her presence on the show has filled me with so much joy.
Moreover, now that we know that , we would love to see several scenes between Carter and Flockhart — two of the most powerful women in TV history. If Flockhart is unable to return then I'm pretty sure the producers would have to write the character out of the show because — let's face it — nobody else could play the role. Flockhart is irreplaceable.
No official announcement has been made just yet, but we're hoping that Flockhart will make the trip. We'd even accept a recurring status, because Supergirl without Flockhart's Cat Grant isn't the Supergirl that we fell in love with.
Do you think Calista Flockhart's presence is vital to Supergirl's continued success? Let me know in the comment section below.

Rising Costs Take a Bite Out of Profits
Retailers increase prices, downsize portions and switch vendors to cope with higher food costs.
Feeling the familiar squeeze of diminishing margins in fuel and cigarettes, convenience retailers are looking more to foodservice as the holy grail of convenience retailing -- the "miracle" category they can rely on to boost sales and recoup gross profits.
In recent months, however, operators have had to watch and worry as the profitability of their foodservice programs is challenged by skyrocketing commodity prices, as well as increased packaging and transportation costs due to record-high petroleum prices.
"Retailers are eternal optimists. A lot of people, including us, ignored it for a while, hoping it would go away. But it's obvious that it's not going away," said Steve Loehr, vice president of operations support for La Crosse, Wis.-based Kwik Trip Inc., which offers an extensive food offering in its 350-plus stores supported by a company-owned commissary.
"Unlike other years when you'd always have cyclical spikes by season, the increases this year are so broad-based, impacting everything from flour to poppy seeds," said Loehr. "Every ingredient is going up, and substantially -- not 3 to 4 percent, but 30 to 40 percent or more."
When Kwik Trip signed a contract with its flour supplier in January, the agreed price was $35 per 100 pounds. Six months earlier, it was $24 and two years ago, just $10.
Figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) show that the average farm price for wheat -- a staple for doughnuts, bread and pizza -- jumped nearly 60 percent in less than a year from an estimated $4.26 per bushel in 2007 to $6.80 per bushel this March.
Likewise, the average farm price for corn posted a 39.8-percent increase over the same time period, going from an estimated $3.04 a bushel in 2007 to $4.25 per bushel in March, according to the USDA. Like wheat, corn is an ingredient crucial to many foods, and is also used by ranchers as the primary feed for livestock.
"When you look at everything that has wheat and corn in it, that covers a lot," Loehr said.
As expected, suppliers are passing the increased commodity costs onto retailers in the form of higher prices. Village Pantry Foodservice Director Chad Prast told Convenience Store News that all of his vendors have tried to implement some type of increase, with recent proposals ranging from 3 to 5 percent and in certain cases, as high as 15 percent.
The 188-store chain based in Indianapolis offers a variety of foodservice options in its locations from fresh doughnuts and fresh-made deli sandwiches, to fried chicken, and pizza and breadsticks, and is continuing to intensify its focus on the category.
"We've been seeing this [pricing trend] for the last three to four months, but it's picked up a lot more lately," Prast said, noting that he hasn't seen increases like these in a long time. "Through negotiations, we've tried to keep [the increases] right around 3 percent, but with some vendors, we haven't accepted any increase," he explained.
Village Pantry, in a number of cases, has decided to switch vendors altogether to save money. The retailer is now using a different company to supply its condiments.
"The new company is more aggressive for business and was willing to make a better deal," Prast said. "These days, it's easier for somebody to get new business with a cheaper cost than it is for somebody to keep existing business. For the most part, we're always shopping around for vendors if it's a product that's more commonplace."
Like his larger c-store counterparts, single-store owner Lee Emond Sr. is also searching for better deals. The owner of Dodge City BP in Hanceville, Ala., currently splits his foodservice purchases between two companies so he can use one against the other as a bargaining tool. "This practice has helped me in several instances," he said. "Vendors have got a lot more flexibility than they let on when they're going to lose a sale."
When it comes to changing the ingredients he uses, though, Emond said he's extremely cautious. He won't sacrifice product quality and is concerned what impact a switch will have on the taste and texture of the menu item. He always does testing first to judge the result.
"If it has a minimal impact, I'll make the change," Emond said, noting that he recently switched suppliers for his fryer oil and condiments after successful trial runs. "Once customers are used to a certain quality, you can't back out of that. Otherwise, you get away from what it was that made you money in the first place."
Getting By
Seeking out new vendors is just one way convenience retailers are coping with the rising food costs. Some operators, like Kwik Trip and Village Pantry, are also reworking their portion sizes in an attempt to make up declining gross profits.
Village Pantry, for instance, moved from a 16-ounce potato salad container to a 12-ounce package -- a difference that Prast said saves costs, but without consumers noticing.
Similarly, Kwik Trip's Loehr reported the chain is downsizing select ready-made sandwiches, and considering reducing the size of its grab-and-go fresh salads from roughly 12 ounces to 8 ounces. The retail price points will be reduced somewhat, as well.
Even by making such changes, many c-store retailers have found it necessary to raise the retail prices of their foodservice offerings. "We were reluctant, like a lot of retailers, to raise prices because of the economy and high gas prices. But over the last month or two, we've taken a number of modest price increases," Loehr said.
After holding the line for as long as he could, single-store owner Emond said he's been edging his retail prices up, too. "It's a real dilemma: Do I move or do I not move? You have to give it a lot of thought," he explained. "I don't want to give my customers a reason to go somewhere else, but sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet."
By not skimping on quality, Emond reasons it's a fair trade-off for customers. "I serve top quality and charge top quality. You have to decide what kind of face you're going to put on your company, and I prefer to serve someone who is desiring of quality, and who is willing to spend more for higher quality," he added.
Some items prove more challenging than others when it comes to increasing retail prices. Village Pantry is raising retails where it can, but Prast noted in certain foodservice segments, the company has opted to take a cut in margin instead.
"Fountain and coffee are the most difficult to raise retails because they're the most noticeable to consumers," he said. Instead of boosting fountain retails, Village Pantry absorbed a 5-percent price increase. Meanwhile, for coffee, the chain decided to reduce costs by servicing its equipment in-house.
C-stores, of course, are not the only ones raising prices. Consumers are feeling the pinch everywhere. Food prices -- both at-home and away-from-home -- increased 4 percent between 2006 and 2007, the highest annual increase since 1990, according to the USDA. The trend is expected to continue through this year. Food prices are projected to keep rising and end 2008 at 3.5 to 4.5 percent above 2007.
Looking ahead, retailers have mixed opinions as to what the future holds. Prast believes commodity prices, for the most part, have peaked and will either remain stable or drop. Wheat is the one commodity where he fears prices will keep climbing higher.
Loehr, on the other hand, thinks the worst is yet to come. "Corn plantings are going to be less this year and there's increased demand for corn because of ethanol. I think it's going to get worse before it gets better," he said. "It's going to be a tough year for our industry."
If things don't improve relatively soon, Emond foresees consumers reaching a breaking point, and when that happens, he's certain foodservice sales will suffer.
"Sales have been steady. But we're right on the edge of people saying, 'That's it; I can't stop there and eat,'" he said. "I'm investing all this to build foodservice, and if I don't have that, then I'm right back where I started."

Simple Coleslaw
Be the first to review
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by Suzy_Q
I wanted a something as close to the deli coleslaw I had growing up and this is it. Great to serve at BBQ's with burgers or with sandwiches. You can easily halve or double this recipe. I like to use a healthier version mayo (Veganaise, Smart Balance, Canola Mayo etc.) and the flavor does not suffer.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 head green cabbage, sliced very thin
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1⁄2 green pepper, sliced very thin
- 1⁄4 onion, sliced very thin
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 -4 tablespoons white wine vinegar or 3 -4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons oil
- salt and pepper, and
- sugar, to taste
Directions See How It's Made
- Prepare vegetables and put in a large bowl. Combine veggies together with your hands. Add oil, vinegar or lemon juice. Next add salt (starting with about 1 tsp.- you can add more later), sugar (about 3 T.) and some white or black pepper (about a 1/2 tsp.). Mix this all up together with the veggies and let sit for a few minutes. Add mayo and mix very well. Adjust seasonings to taste. This is best made at least a day in advance so the flavors can marry. Will keep about a week.

The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office opened an investigation into theft of copper wire and fittings from nearly a dozen air-conditioning units at Lake Elementary School, school officials said Wednesday.
School authorities called maintenance workers Tuesday morning when staff couldn't get the gym's air-conditioning unit to work, Public Information Officer Johnnie Balfantz said.
Workers discovered the system had been tampered with and found parts missing from 11 units, including eight 5-ton units, and three 15-ton units which control the air and humidity in the gym, band hall, and a number of classrooms, Balfantz said.
Deputies found holes cut into the fence on the south side of campus.
Damage estimates range from $5,000 to $10,000. The estimated value of the amount of copper stolen is below $500, Balfantz said.
Repairs to the system are under way, he said.

Verizon was the first one to bring it to market, then soon after came Sprint, but now it's Cellular South's turn to scoop up its own version of the high-powered portrait QWERTY handset in the Motorola DROID PRO.
Specifically, it's called the Motorola Milestone Plus, and it is available for purchase starting today for the 2-year contract price of $199 after a $50 mail-in-rebate. Although its specs now deem it as a mid-range device, we're certain that customers will nevertheless think of it as something in the upper echelon of the spectrum seeing that we don't see too many dual-core handsets on the regional carrier's lineup. In terms of specs, we greeted with the same old assortments – like its 3.1" display, 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with dual-LED flash, and 4GB of internal storage.
As much as we'd love to see smartphones nowadays being launched with Gingerbread from the onset, the Motorola Milestone Plus is still sporting Android 2.2 Froyo instead.

NCAA March Madness 07
Review by Groves22
"NCAA March Madness 07 - EA Shoots.... Air Ball"
Well, now that the real March Madness is over for this year, I decided to write on NCAA March Madness 07. It's hard not to get caught up in March Madness, even if you're not a fan of college basketball. However, NCAA March Madness 07 for the Xbox 360, leaves little to be desired. It is a game that could have driven to the basket and scored, but turned out to be a brick from 7 feet away.
When you first enter the game, you will see a basketball player in street clothes, playing on a street court with a couple of basketballs. You can use this time to learn the controls of the game. If you have more than 1 controller plugged in, you will have more than 1 player on this screen. So before you even try to play the game, you can work on your moves and time your ball release for easy buckets. While you are in this mode, you will see an ESPN ticker on the bottom giving real time scores, and a podcasted feed of ESPN News Radio. You also have the chance to shoot around during the loading screens. That's always good, because who likes to sit around and stare at a bar slowly move across the screen?
After you are done shooting around, you can choose one of the following game modes; Dynasty. NCAA, NIT, or Maui Tournament, or you can play a quick match. Dynasty mode lets you run a college program. You can choose a horrible team, and build them up to a NCAA powerhouse, or you can choose a power house and continue to dominate the hardwood. Dynasty mode has everything that a real coach would deal with; recruiting, scheduling, training and the higher ups riding you if you lose. Alumni of your school will also challenge you to complete certain tasks throughout the dynasty. If you complete their challenges, you will be rewarded. These rewards range from bigger and better bands to state of the art gyms. A quick match is what it is. All you do is pick two teams and go at it. Then there is the tournament mode. You choose 1 or more teams, and play though the NCAA, NIT, or Maui Invitational. You lose, you're out!
How are college sports different than the professionals? I have been to pro and college basketball games. If you didn't know, college games get a lot louder when their team is doing well. That is kind of portrayed in this game as well. You team, and players, will have intensity meters. The better you play, the better your players are, and vice versa. You have the option to use some of your intensity to taunt the opposition, or pump up your team/crowd. If you were to fill up your intensity, during a break in play you have the chance to stop and do a little extra to get the crowd bumping. You can dance with the cheerleaders, go to the sideline and play to the crowd, get in the other teams face, or pump up a player on your team. No theses impact moments are nice the first couple times, but after a while, it really gets annoying. I seldom let my bar fill up that high, and if I do, I choose to pass on the impact moment.
Now everything up until now sounds like it's a fun game to play. However, the actual gameplay of NCAA March Madness 07 is what hurts it so much. First off, the obsessive foul calling is ridiculous in this game. You try to steal, foul. You drive to lane, foul. You dribble the ball, foul. I know these can be turned off, but you shouldn't have to mess with any sliders when it comes to fouling. The ball physics are also something to be astonished by, and not in a good way. A few times I have seen my pass get redirected by air. I don't know what basketball could do that? Missing a shot will also send a ball in weird directions off of the rim. It really doesn't bounce they way you think it should. This makes rebounding a little harder than it should be.
The AI is pretty lackluster in NCAA March Madness 07 as well. I guess it would be too much to ask for your players to look at the ball, or in some direction that a play is happening. I have caught several of my players looking out into the crowd while I am at the top of the key. Now, you can still pass to them when their back is turned, they just whip around with blazing speed. But how would they even know the ball was coming? If you run a play, the AI does what they are supposed to, which is nice. However, there is a real lack of need to run a play. If you just dribble for a bit near the three point line, a huge lane will open up in the middle. All you need to do is use a juke to get past your defender, and lay it in or dunk for a very easy 2 points.
These are some small annoyances, but they are enough to ruin the game for me.
The controls are pretty nice, as far as basketball games are concerned. Shooting a jump shot is a press and release at the right time for a good shot, while dunking is another button. So when driving to the whole, be sure to hit the right button to throw it down with authority, with the added bonus the other team will foul you. You use the right stick to perform several jukes and ball movements. Each direction will give you a different move and depending if you're moving or not, will also give you different moves. It is really easy to get defenders on their heals using these moves, I mean really easy. While on point, you can easily call a play using the D-pad. You can set which plays get assigned to which direction, and run the play as often as you want.
As far as the look of the game, I feel it is sub par. The motions of the players seam off. I really can't put my finger on it, but something is not right. Maybe the FPS is too slow for a basketball game, who knows. I just don't like the way it moves. The arenas do look nice though. They appear to be models of the real courts the college plays in, but I can not vouch for every college. I know the Schottenstein Center, court for the Ohio State Buckeyes, looks rather close to the real thing. During the game you will see the mascots jumping and cheering for your team, as well.
The audio in the game is good, but I don't think it is helping the cause. There is only so much commentary I can take. I feel that way about every sports game. Too often the commentators repeat themselves in the course of a game. What makes this worse than other sport game? Dick Vitale! There is only so much I can take from Dickie V, and the constant repetitiveness drives me up the wall. His sidekick Brad Nessler doesn't help the situation out much either.
You can play NCAA March Madness 07 online against other Xbox LIVE subscribers, but good luck. I purchased this game 2 months after it came out, and only found 3 other people playing. The online community is completely dead. So if you do purchase this game now, do not plan on finding many match, if any, online. If you are lucky enough to find a match, be prepared for the choppiest experience in online gaming history. I could barely make it through a full game, because of the constant stopping. If you get a smooth game, don't expect a good experience. If your opponent is worried about winning, all you have to do is full court press and steal the inbound pass for an easy dunk. In general, online play for NCAA MM 07 sucks!
A great perk to NCAA March Madness 07 is the fact it is an easy 1000 achievement points. You can almost every achievement in one game played on the easiest setting, playing 20 minute halves. It might be hard to get the online achievements, because of the above mentioned problem. So if you are addicted to gamer score, this is a good game to pick up. I'd imagine you can find it for under $20 now that NCAA March Madness 08 is out.
Now, NCAA March Madness 07 is not the worst basketball game on the market today, it is certainly not the best. Visually it's nice, and some of the options and modes are good. The thing that really hurts it, is the well below average gameplay, both local and online. I would hope EA picks up their game and recruits well for the seasons to come.

Kosmos Energy Ltd. says that the borrowing base under its reserves-based lending facility has remained unchanged at $1.5 billion following its lenders' semi-annual redetermination process. For the first time, the borrowing base calculation includes value related to the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) development project in Ghana, as well as the Jubilee field. Total undrawn availability on the reserves-based lending facility remains $1 billion as of March 31, 2015.
'Growing reserves with healthy margins - even in a lower oil price environment - enabled Kosmos to maintain its considerable borrowing power under the credit facility. The quality of our Ghana assets supported the favorable outcome of the redetermination process,' said Thomas P. Chambers, senior vice president and chief financial officer. 'Lenders' inclusion of the TEN project in the redetermination process represents an important vote of confidence in our belief that Ghana ultimately will prevail in its maritime boundary arbitration with Cote d'Ivoire. With our liquidity re-affirmed, we remain well positioned financially to execute our exploration and development programs.'

BN's blame game blinds it to why it's losing voters
There is a tendency after every election for winners to amplify their wins and take sole credit for their performance, and for losers to find convenient scapegoats.
It would be easy for anyone to look at the results of the 13th general election and classify the winners as BN and the losers as Pakatan. Not so.
In actual fact there is much more for Pakatan to be happy about than the BN, for one they are riding an uptrend in terms of total number of votes received, not to mention an increase in the number of seats both at the parliamentary and the state levels.
BN is is expected to react the same way that they did after the 2008 general election, which is to look for a convenient scapegoat. For Umno it was former premier Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (Pak Lah), and for MCA it was former president Ong Tee Keat.
Fast forward to 2013, already Premier Najib Abdul Razak and MCA president Chua Soi Lek are now feeling the heat.
Unfortunately the BN will again refuse to acknowledge that the rot had set in years back, not 10 years back, not 20.
Just like all political parties which have governed for years without interruption, arrogance, corrupt practises, cronyism, and nepotism have become second nature and barely noticed among members.
The political parties are loath to change because they want to; most of them are forced to change, just like the LDP in Japan, the KMT in Taiwan and the Congress Party in India.
Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad did a grave disservice to Umno and BN when he pinned the blame for the 2008 results on Pak Lah, and the BN lost a golden opportunity to reform itself and hence, they are now suffering from having to form a government with the humiliation of having lost the popular vote.
And those who think that by putting the blame solely on certain individuals are going to change anything, are making the same mistake.
Even if there is a change in leadership within the BN, but without recognition that brand BN has been damaged because of widespread corruption, concentration of wealth among the economic elite, arrogance of thought and action among the rank and file, a dearth of talent among its ranks, then the BN can expect to continue in its freefall, they should not be surprised if their share of the popular votes keep dwindling.
There are some within the BN who see the GE13 results as opportunities to climb the ladder, nothing more.
They deliberately try to avoid looking at the real reasons why they are now in a downward spiral.
If that is the case, good luck BN, you're gonna need it come GE14.

Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock claimed new territory for 8-year-old Toyota on Saturday as the pair took the front row for Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix. Qualifying specialist Trulli pipped his teammate by three-tenths of a second for pole position, the team's first since two in 2005, when Trulli teamed with Ralf Schumacher. Glock led final practice times earlier in the day before the TF109 suffered an electrical problem.
The field lines up for a fourth race in five weeks of a season that has begun furiously with as many as five teams pushing to the front. China winner Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull lines up third. His teammate, China runner-up Mark Webber, was balked to the back row by Force India's Adrian Sutil in the first of three qualifying sessions. Sutil dropped three places from 16th after a penalty was assessed for the incident. The German said he was trying to find a gap to Renault's Fernando Alonso and didn't realize Webber was on a flying lap. He apologized. Australian Webber responded in characteristic, soft-peddling way: "My race is screwed."
Australia and Malaysia winner Jenson Button of Brawn GP starts fourth. World driving titlist Lewis Hamilton of McLaren Mercedes and field veteran Rubens Barrichello of Brawn GP start on the third row. Double world champion Alonso and world champ runner-up Felipe Massa of Ferrari are on the fourth row. Friday practice leader Nico Rosberg of Williams F1 and 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari complete the first half of the grid.
Both Ferraris reached the front half of the grid for the first time this season. Two-time defending race winner Massa, who celebrated his 28th birthday Saturday, displayed second-quick time in practice. Neither Ferrari driver has scored this season, a situation matched only by Force India's Sutil and Giancarlo Fisichella.
Heikki Kovalainen of McLaren and Kazuki Nakajima of Williams F1 hold the sixth row. Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber own the seventh. Nelson Piquet of Renault, advancing from first qualifying for the first time this season, qualified 15th. Moving up to the eighth row after the Sutil penalty is Sebastien Buemi of Scudera Toro Rosso. Annoyed with himself, rookie Buemi said he made a mistake that cost him advancing to second qualifying. Fisichella qualified in 18th and moves up one to take the ninth row with Webber. Sutil and Sebastien Bourdais of Toro Rosso take the final row. Bourdais suffered driveshaft problems in practice.
Trulli toured the 3.3-mile Bahrain International Circuit, a track with long straights that is hard on brakes, in 1 minute, 33.431 seconds. Glock had reached 1:32.6 in practice and Vettel laid down a 1:32.5 in second qualifying.
"I was struggling with the brakes," Trulli said. "I was not able to brake the way I wanted. Nevertheless, I coudln't give up. I knew I had a good car and I could fight for pole. It was pretty nice to end up with first and second for the team especially."
Trulli dedicated the pole effort to the team and to his home region of Abruzzo, Italy, which recently suffered serious earthquake damage.
Glock said he was surprised -- but happy -- with his quick pace in practice. A shifting wind made the car "pointy and nervous" in first qualifying, he said. As for the final pole push, he said he knew he wasn't quick enough to beat his teammate. A mistake didn't help.
"I'm happy for the team," Glock said. "We've had a hard time the past two weeks. The first four races have been really, really hard. This has been really good for the team."
A smiling -- what else? -- Vettel said the first session was "tight" with everyone needing to use both tire types, supersoft and medium, a fact that helped improve grip by the second session. Vettel needed only one lap in that session, the day's fastest. By the final, third, qualifying, when the RB5 had no problems, "I think the Toyotas were just too quick," Vettel said. He implied the TF109s are on a light fuel load. "For tomorrow, though, I reckon they pull in a bit earlier," he said.
Trulli wouldn't be drawn on fuel loads or pit strategy. He expressed confidence about bagging Toyota's first victory but kept a weather eye toward his brakes as a potential trouble spot.

Celebrated commentator Harsha Bhogle, who found himself out of favour for a place in the Indian Premier League-9 commentary team, received massive support on social media yesterday.
Harsha Bhogle
The Indian Express reported on Sunday that Bhogle was informed of his termination by the BCCI a week ago. While the BCCI big wigs did not offer an explanation for dropping Bhogle, an unnamed BCCI official told the paper, "when deciding the commentators, we take feedback from everyone. We monitor social media reactions on commentators, and also take inputs from players."
Ugly attack on FoE by Republic of BCCI/IPL as @bhogleharsha our best prof commentator, given out: ct Dhoni, bowled Big-B. Hope fans protest— Shekhar Gupta (@ShekharGupta) April 10, 2016
"Ugly attack on FoE by Republic of BCCI/IPL as @bhogleharsha our best prof commentator, given out: ct Dhoni, bowled Big-B. Hope fans protest," tweeted journalist Shekhar Gupta, following it up with another: "His class is never to be doubted and unfortunately so is BCCI's dictatorial pettiness. Fans have to demand better."
Being an avid cricket fan,will surely miss @bhogleharsha not on the Mike. BCCI think again! He is a star commentator and knowledgable too.— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) April 10, 2016
Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor tweeted: "Being an avid cricket fan, will surely miss @bhogleharsha not on the Mike. BCCI think again! He is a star commentator and knowledgeable too." mid-day learns that the BCCI and a few influential figures in the Indian team were upset over what Bhogle wrote in his weekly column for The Indian Express about the deplorable Nagpur pitch on which India beat South Africa last year.
'Dire Nagpur'
"Mohali was disappointing and Nagpur has been dire. I remember the outrage we felt at the trampoline in Durban in 1996 and the lawns in New Zealand in 2002. We in India were convinced those were unacceptable, and we were right. By the same argument these pitches, especially this one in Nagpur, should be frowned upon too. They are not good for cricket and they are certainly not good for Indian cricket," Bhogle wrote.
Match referee Jeff Crowe deemed the pitch poor in his report to the International Cricket Council.
Bhogle was grateful for the support. "Thank you very much. I am deeply moved and overwhelmed," he tweeted.
While I do agree that the action to terminate should not have been based on an honest view about the deplorable Nagpur wicket, I do feel Indian commentators, Harsha Bhogale included, do need a reality check on the quality of commentary. First of all they talk too much - far in excess of what is needed considering that the medium they deal with is a visual one. They digress often to either over analysing or to matters outside of the game at hand. Very distracting, both.
Don't agree here. Bhogle was over the top. He may be sweet but far from tactical knowledge in cricket. In the game against Bangladesh both he and Gavaskar talked about Mahmuddullah so many times as if Mahmud had called them home for lunch.

A single polling station gave Ward 5 incumbent Peter Milczyn the boost he needed to hold on to his seat in the Etobicoke-Lakeshore riding Monday night. Yet while Mr. Milczyn's team celebrated the win, his chief opponent planned to challenge the results.
Initial reports named newcomer Justin Di Ciano the winner by about 60 votes. But that one polling station, with roughly 1,000 votes, was not included, and when it was, Mr. Milczyn was returned to office by 109 votes.
According to Toronto Elections, one reason the tally was delayed was because 84 ballots could not be fed through the tabulating machine at that polling station. Those ballots were taken to the election office and run through another tabulator. Out of those 84 cards, 12 couldn't be counted properly and replacement ballots had to be made up.
Both candidates said the process was finished well after 1 a.m. on Tuesday.
Monday night marked the end of a brutal municipal campaign, with allegations of corruption and dirty tactics being hurled from both sides.
Mr. Milczyn said he was "cautiously optimistic" about winning because the polling station in question had historically given him a lot of support.
"I believe I have a good record," Mr. Milczyn said. "Both in the community and … at city hall, and a lot of my constituents appreciated that."
Mr. Di Ciano said he plans to meet with his team to discuss his next steps.
"We'll certainly request a recount in the next couple days," he said. Mr. Di Ciano also said one of his scrutineers discovered that a voter had been given a filled-in ballot at one of the polling stations. He said he plans to look into that as well.
Even if he emerges as the defeated party, Mr. Di Ciano was pleased with the response he received from the area.
"Residents I don't even know are calling and crying," he said. "It's certainly heart-warming and we enjoyed the process all the way through."
The battle for Ward 5 wasn't the only hot race in the city council elections.
Though it looked like she had been ousted, Maria Augimeri managed to hold on to Ward 9 (York Centre), with 89 more votes than Gus Cusimano. In Ward 44 (Scarborough East), Ron Moeser also managed to stay in office, although initial results had Diana Hall pegged as the winner.Report Typo/Error

Apparently my domain was not renewed on time. I had to pay a ransom to basically get it back, and all the word press data was lost. Doh.
New Domain and Twitter
So now I am re-thinking my entire social media strategy. I started a new site ShortProof.com to basically cover all the stuff I do in Indie Gaming.
And I made a new Twitter handle @ShortProof to match.
I may recreate some of the content that was on here, and keep this for more serious blogging matters. Or I may not. I haven't been serious into blogging for a couple of years. But people still read some of that stuff, and reached out to me through it. So I don't really want it to just go away, but you never know.
Career Transition
I'm in a career transition right now. I still work for Microsoft, but I am no longer in Engineering. I am partner facing, and not primarily working on technical work right now. I am doing more business, contracts, and work to help partners succeed. Some of that is technical, but most of our partners have their tech worked out. It is all the other stuff they need help with, and I find that interesting.
Evil, but necessary evil
Running my own companies in the past I always viewed all this non-tech stuff as evil that just had to get done. Now I actually find that you need to be technical to handle all the problems of these partners, but not the day to day writing code type. You need to understand their tech, and where they are going. But you need to understand the business model and the hurdles their tech are going to cause. Things like license problems (dongles anyone?), activations, open source software, etc. All these change how you compensate your sales people. And that in turn changes how you interact with consulting shops, systems integrators, etc. It is a complex dance, and I have been doing for the better part of 20 years.
What about Code?
So now that I do that full time, the code I tend to write these days is just for me. And for the past six months or so that has been small indie games that I enjoy making and publishing (mostly for mobile). I find that space to still really intrigue me and it is just fun for me.
Like a hobby fun. I have ZERO plans to go back to the high stress world of AAA games like I did a long time ago. From what I hear from people that world hasn't changed that much. If anything it is worse because the tools are so much better. I will stay on the outside, just having my hobby and enjoying myself. I teach game design, game theory, game incentives, and game monetization at code camps and Microsoft Garage after hours. But I don't want to do that full time. No thanks.
Just going to have some fun for a while, and focus on helping partners with the "rest" of the software business problems.
