The NPD Group has released some brand new figures that has caused the gaming nation to turn upside down on itself, becoming ravenous wolves in a sheep pen of numbers representing plastic boxes from companies that are surfing on a fiscal wave made up of billions of dollars. In short: the numbers have dropped, and someone (or many people) will be salty.
Let's begin.
Microsoft was quick to draw a response to the figures going public from the NPD, like a sheriff with a thumb on the hammer of a six-shooter before a criminal even casts a shadow in front of the midday sun.
Microsoft dropped some responses so fast that it makes the tween growth-spurt going from pencil-necked geeks to hairy apes over the course of a summer season look like a progressively slow endeavor, almost about as slow as the current cabinet administration coming up with some way to help stave off the extinction of middle class.
Anyway, the Micro 'S' put out some number-facts for all those interested, stating on their official Xbox newswire that...
"We're also happy to share today that more than 5 million Xbox One consoles have been sold-in to retailers since our launch. The new generation is off to a strong start, with global Xbox One sales outpacing Xbox 360 by more than 60 percent at the same point in time, a true testament to your love of console gaming."
Yeah let's repeat that once more so it sinks in real tight and thick like caulk in the throat of a wooden hole... "5 million Xbox One consoles have been sold-in to retailers since our launch".
This is spinful word-play for total units shipped, and not units sold-through from retailers. They pulled a similar stunt earlier this year with the 3.9 million units shipped and the 3 million units sold. In this case, they only have just over 4 million units sold, even though they've shipped 5 million stock keeping units to retailers within the appropriate regions.
It's funny, because if you notice there is some artful marketing word-sculpting that Microsoft is using in opposition to Sony's announcement yesterday, in which they made it known that they have sold-through 7 million PlayStation 4 SKUs.
Microsoft is showing you how to fight a good fight from the frontlines while losing.
It's not all marketing-spin and dialectical manipulation, though. Microsoft did have some impressive feats to share that didn't include asseverate talking points from third-place... also known as second-place's arse.
The post notes that...
"Xbox One continues selling at a strong pace with 311,000 units sold in the U.S. in the month of March, surpassing Xbox 360 sales by more than 60 percent at the same point in time."
Well if anyone ever said that third place can't be successful, they've never looked at the Wii U's arse... because they'll see a struggling but determined Xbox One back there.
Then again, with a turnaround of Phil Spencer in the driver's seat, some big games aimed to debut at E3 this year and the Xbox One's "banana surprise" set to help better optimize games, maybe... just maybe, Microsoft will have the most successful third-place run compared to any previous generation before this one.

LONDON (Reuters) - GlaxoSmithKline has started a pivotal study testing intravenous zanamivir against Roche's best-selling pill Tamiflu as a treatment for patients hospitalized with influenza, it said on Wednesday.
Intravenous zanamivir is not currently approved for sale in any country, but the medicine has been available since 1999 in inhaled form under the brand name Relenza. GSK licensed the product from Australia's Biota.
GSK's Phase III trial, which will measure the time to clinical response in patients with confirmed flu, aims to enroll 462 patients in 20 countries and will take around 3 years to complete.
The British drugmaker had previously said it planned to develop an intravenous form of zanamivir to help the sickest patients, following clinical reports it might help when other treatment options failed.
British doctors said in 2009 they saved the life of a woman with severe H1N1 swine flu after giving her unlicensed intravenous zanamivir. The patient, whose immune system was impaired due to recent chemotherapy, did not respond to Tamiflu.

We are getting a lot more information from our staff in Ukraine. I think they are seeing the Western news about what is happening and they feel like they have pertinent information to add.
Below is a summary of a letter we just received. If you are really interested in this, feel free to let me know and I'll send you the full letter. I'm leaving off the contact info. and names of the people who wrote it so it does not come back on them.
Our dear English speaking friends!
We can`t help but notice that your media does not cover objectively the events in Ukraine those days and we are terrified to see that you might think that what is going on in Ukraine is a threat to the public peace or lives of our people.
Let us tell you just several simple facts and you will see that Ukrainians do not have any other choice but to do what they are doing:
1) On January 16th our Parliament adopted a set of laws that limit the public freedoms so absolutely that no other government in the world has ever turned its country into dictatorship so rapidly before.
2) Those laws were adopted by a severe violation of parliamentary procedure – in THREE SECONDS by the show of hands, the speaker of Parliament proclaimed the law was adopted).
3) One of the laws that I would like to underline specifically – permission for the police to use FIRE GUNS against demonstrators.
4) On Sunday in Kiev, after those laws were adopted, the demonstrants were trying to get to the Parliament to protest against the tyranny, but they were stopped half way by the riot police. Usually the riot police attack, people run away, the police catch lonely runners and beat them severely. This time though the people`s anger made them stay and face the police. the police were shooting rubber bullets and fire/gas/sound grenades. The demonstrators threw Molotov cocktails and stones in return.
5) Police seem to not simply following the commands of their commanders, but get personal satisfaction from beating and shooting at people…
6) Jobless were brought in and paid to create an illusion of chaos; damaging property, beating pedestrians, etc
7) our political leaders during those 2 months of the protest have unfortunately showed total impotence in conflict solving,
8) President Viktor Yanukovich is controlling all the governmental branches, including Parliament and Court.
9) there were several "round tables" organized but the government did not really want to negotiate…
10) The government is trying to discredit lawful demonstrants in Ukraine,
Ukrainians are peaceful, very patient and dignified nation with the centuries of history and rich culture… One has got to really cross the line to make a Ukrainian burst with anger. It seems that our government has finally done that…
Here is a video update. And our January Newsletter is yours for the clicking (right there on the words "January Newsletter").
Our latest newsletter is available to read on-line by clicking on the following link, Peck Family September 2013 Newsletter.
September was very busy. I hosted the Global Tech Leader conference at our office here in Hungary. I helped with the launch of the Expedition Teams (this is what the newsletter is about) and I went to Albania to help set up their system for tracking ministry results and then helped train staff to use that system.
October is keeping me just as busy. We have national admins coming from some of our countries to our office to be trained to use the system better that we just set up for Albania (we use it in almost all our countries). I'll also be meeting with lawyers and national ministry leaders as we draft plans to deal with EU data privacy laws. Legal stuff is something I really don't enjoy working on but it's very, very important that we can use the best new tools without breaking the law.
Never a dull moment. And of course school is full tilt. Ingrid has a full load of classes as well as being involved in coaching the girls middle school soccer team. I think it's a sign that we've been in Europe a little while now that I feel funny using the word soccer.
Hannah broke her arm playing soccer ( labdarúgás is the Hungarian word but football works anywhere ) last week-end but it hasn't slowed her down much. Eddie's soccer team wrapped up last season by playing in the Hungarian National Little League Championship. They lost by one run. And Rachel is staying busy with a major role in the next middle school musical as well as all of her normal activities. It is never boring here.
We appreciate everyone who prays for us and our ministry. We can never fit all we'd like to convey into the letters so for those who don't mind reading a little more – I'll try to keep adding additional updates here and at our Facebook page.

Contract Extensions for Duquette & Showalter
The Baltimore Orioles extended the contracts of manager Buck Showalter and club executive vice president Dan Duquette through 2018. Showalter, in his second full season with the Orioles, and Duquette, in his first, led the Orioles to a 93-win season in 2012 and the team's first visit to the postseason since 1997.
Showalter had one year left on his contract and Duquette had two years remaining on his deal before signing the extensions.
At a press conference today, Showalter praised Duquette for his personnel moves and Duquette saying that he had more fun with Showalter than any previous manager.
"I've never had more fun working with a man or more respect for a manager," Duquette said. "He is one of the great managers in the game. We are so lucky to have him here in Baltimore."
Showalter quipped: "You're shocked Dan called me a fun guy? So am I."
According to the Baltimore Sun, Duquette said he is still looking for a veteran pitcher to eat innings and provide some stability in the rotation. He admitted that he did not get the middle of the order power bat that he wanted, saying he had "umpteen" opportunities to trade for one but did not want to give up the organization's coveted young pitchers.
Showalter said the team should be stronger with a healthy year from outfielder Nolan Reimold, Nick Markakis and, possibly, second baseman Brian Roberts, who has played 115 games in the past three years but hopes to be ready for Opening Day.
On May 1, 2012, Showalter became the 58th manager in major league history to win 1,000 games when the Orioles defeated the Yankees. He enters the 2013 season ranked 49th all-time with 1,078 wins and is sixth among active managers.

Yeine Darr is an outcast from the barbarian north. But when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the majestic city of Sky. There, to her shock, Yeine is named an heiress to the king. But the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is not easily won, and Yeine is thrust into a vicious power struggle.
©2010 N.K. Jemisin (P)2010 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Jemisin's engaging debut grabs readers right from the start…a complex, edge-of-your-seat story with plenty of funny, scary, and bittersweet twists." (Publishers Weekly)
"Great Writing, Fantastic Worldbuilding"
I thought this book was well-written with some fantastic world-building, and I liked it (I'd give it a half star more if I could), but I didn't love it. The main character felt a little underdeveloped and I didn't completely connect with her, but I thought the personalities of the Enefadeh were really well done. If you like your Fantasy a little heavier on the philosophical overtones and political intrigue, you'll probably enjoy this. There is also an overarching romantic theme, but the romance (and the sexy times) are fairly abstract. It was a little bit hard to follow on audiobook, but it was very well done.
"Read.This.Book. Or listen to it. Or whatever."
I loved this book. Loved. I am a fantasy fan in general, but have been a little frustrated with the quality of the writing in my last few reads. Sometimes I think that the driving plots I so enjoy force good writing to a distant second priority. I did not find that to be this case with this surprising novel (is this her first novel? astonishing), which called to my mind old favorites by Ursula K LeGuin.
And the reader cannot be neglected: she is amazing. Although her pace is a little quick, and it took a while to get used to, I honestly can't imagine reading this book without the benefit of Freeman's voice to add dimension to the characters. Sieh in particular was just as irresistible to me as he was to Yeine herself, and I can still hear his childlike voice in my head.
I'm going to read it again. And I never do that!
I hope the other two in the trilogy are half as good...
"I enjoyed this audiobook."
I love fantasy, but have tired of elves, trolls, and demons plots. This was refreshing and I will listen to the Broken Kingdom next.
"Underdeveloped and Unrelatable"
I'm not even sure this story had potential. I tried so hard to get into the audiobook because I like to keep an open mind about variation in readers and literature, but after the first few chapters I became convinced that either the book just didn't have substance or the narrator was making it seem that way. Freeman's performance was over-exaggerated, unnecessarily angsty, and made me hate the protagonist more quickly than I would have liked. The only realistic performance I enjoyed was her portrayal of Sieh. Other than that, the other characters seemed shallow, trite, melodramatic, and inauthentic. I chose to continue giving it a chance until halfway through the audiobook. It was then that I decided to switch to the physical book to asses if it was merely the performance or the writing too that was at fault. Reading this book instead of listening to it helped remedy the annoying qualities of the audiobook, but unfortunately there was little redeeming quality about the writing itself. The protagonist and the relationships she establishes lack substance. The plot is extremely underdeveloped as far as a science fiction/fantasy novel usually goes. This book felt like a medium for portraying shallow relationships rather than focusing on fleshing out the poorly matured strife of the people outside of the palace walls and the rules and history by which the gods live. The rules of the gods was unconvincing and improperly ambiguous. All of these issues culminated in an inability to suspend disbelief in the reality within the story. It simply was not captivating and left me relieved to read the last page of the last chapter. I will not be reading the sequels.
"Excellent story and narration"
Yes. This story is rich characters and world-building.
The world-building was unique and interesting. There was a lot more depth to this book than I was expecting.
This is the only book I've listened to that was narrated by Casaundra Freeman. She was FANTASTIC. I hope to encounter more audio books narrated by her.
I have no idea.
I don't usually bother with reviews, but I found this book to out and out excellent, and the performance to be of equal quality. Jemisin has a great voice, and, not to be too literal here, so does Freeman. Going to start the next in the series tonight.
"Easy and fast read but a LOT of sexual tension"
This was a easy, fast and comfortable read but mostly due to the writing style and not the plot.
A girl from a 'savage' tribe is summoned to the capital where the monarchy have gods as their slaves. The story starts off sounding like it will be political but that plays very little. There is a LOT of sexual tension and innuendo in this book which seems to be the main focus as well as relationships..
Explores themes of corruption, desire, and history interpretations. Lot of world building at the start and figuring out how the god system works. The book is enjoyable while I was read but reflecting it afterwards, it seems to lack substance, like junk food.
I'm not sure if I'll read the sequels.
"Excellent book"
My only 2 qualms about this book are that the ending was identified too far in advance and that the main character had very little agency throughout the book. Besides those, this book was excellent.
"Complicated but an interesting listen"
Glad I did not pay a ton for this book but was interesting enough to listen all the way through. Little random sometimes and had to go back and listen again quite a few times to understand what was going on.
"fantastic story made better by the performance"
just a terrific tale with great characters made even better by the amazing performance can't recommend enough
"Brilliantly detailed story. "
Great listen and perfect voice acting for the character, kept me listening. On to book 2 now.
"A wonderful book, beautifully read"
A wonderful book, beautifully read.
It has Intricate and compelling characters facing difficult choices in a moral morass. It contains a look into the mechanisms of power and, the resistances of powerlessness. In this fantasy world the gods walk amongst us and, as in any great mythology, they are as emotionally complex as the rest of us. Wholly recommended.
Jemisin has become my most fav author.
"dull and a different kind of story than I expected"
From the description and title and book cover I thought this would be a book about many kingdoms possibly different worlds as well as political intrigue and a woman trying to adjust to a different way of life. Instead you only hear about a few countries and only experience 2 which lack description and so instead of being able to visualise these places they're just bland rooms in a bland house full of bland people. It's like the writer watched a movie of the book but hasn't realised that nobody else saw the movie so doesn't bother describing key elements of the world, more description would definitely have helped. The protagonist has been trained in the culture of the this palace and so knows how to fit in but gives up fairly quickly, the contest for the throne isn't really a contest and no one really does anything apart from making petty threats, the politics is almost none existent. I didn't care about the main character at all and cared even less about all he other characters apart from the child God. Apart from him the characters were very flat, maybe if it hadn't been written in the first person there would have been more opportunities for depth but you only get a very narrow view of this world from the main characters perspective. Also the fact that it's first person narrative means you don't really believe that she's going to die as it's the first of a trilogy. I found the pointless focus on sex boring and had no interest if it turned into a love story of was just lust I just didn't care. I'm not a romantic maybe others enjoyed that but not me.
Perfectly acceptable voice
The child God was a nice character and if the story had been from his perspective I might have enjoyed it more
Could have been really good, was a great concept but disappointingly boring all the way through

|Lunch with Project Buhi OCSP friends (Jan. 13, 2013)
Since it's my last year of being a teen, I guess a simple post of appreciation would be the least I can do. And because this is the first time I have ever celebrated my birthday away from home, family, and friends (back in the Philippines/around the world), I can't thank everyone for how much I have enjoyed the 19 years that have led me to where I am today.
I honestly didn't plan to do anything for my birthday this year. As a matter of fact, I sorta forgot I had a birthday, and that it was coming so soon. But to my SMU Barkada family, Project Buhi OCSP family, and the Sypongco family, and Nicole, Izzie and Jenny, thanks for giving me a reason to look forward to 2013. And thanks, too, for making my stay here in Singapore the best I could have possibly asked for.
Personally, I think that birthdays are a reminder that we have already lived so much, yet will still have the opportunity to live much more. They're there to show us a chronicle of the journey we all have, to give us a reason why life is so much better when we remember what we're thankful for. And whether I'll be 19, or 50, or 87, I'm just really grateful to everyone who has been, and still is, a part of my life.

|Surprise from my SMU Barkada family (Jan. 12, 2013)
|With Izzie, Nicole, and Jenny (Jan. 14, 2013)
There's not much concrete things to say left, really. So I'll just keep it somehow short and simple: thanks, everyone, for making my 19th birthday very memorable. Rather, for making my life very awesome thus far. However, I don't want to feel or be treated extra special today. Why? Because I want to believe that each day can special no matter if it's your birthday or not. Nevertheless, I feel so blessed for the gift of life that God has bestowed upon me today. LOL, sabaw! But really, thank you guys for everything!
As this day is coming to an end, I really, really, really can't ask for more than what or who I already have in my life. Love y'all. #Peaceout#Swag #Hipster #Bored #OkayIllStop #DontKillMeFriends #Hashtag #ThisAintTwitter

Newt Gingrich's 21st Century Contract with America
"The Pledge" to control the border by 2013
Pew Hispanic Center: Unauthorized Immigrants: Length of Residency, Patterns of Parenthood
Just a week after Newt Gingrich faced backlash for saying he would allow long-time undocumented immigrants with deep community ties to stay in the U.S., he became the second Republican presidential candidate to sign a pledge to build a double fence along the southern border.
Gingrich joined Michelle Bachman Thursday on the pledge, which outlines a plan to build a second fence across the entire U.S.-Mexico border by the end of 2013. The organization behind the pledge, Americans for Securing the Border, said it is the best way to hold politicians accountable on the issue, according to Van D. Hipp, chairman of the North Carolina organization.
"Newt Gingrich has heard our challenge," Hipp said. "Speaker Gingrich is no "Johnny come lately" when it comes to border security."
The issue is already on Gingrich's "21st Century Contract with America." He commits to control the border by Jan. 1, 2014 as well as "establish English as the official language ofgovernment, reform the legal visa system and make it much easier to deport criminals and gang members while making it easier for law abiding visitors to come to the U.S.."
According to the campaign the former speaker could "shift resources to achieve virtually 100 (percent) control by January 1, 2014. If necessary, we would move one-half of the 23,000 Washington-area Department of Homeland Security bureaucrats to the Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona borders."
Gingrich joins most of the other Republican candidates, except Texas Gov. Rick Perry, in calling for a secondary barrier. Perry said the plan is too expensive.
"Controlling the border is a matter of resources and will," he said in the statement.
For undocumented immigrants already in the country Gingrich has a different proposal.
During the debate on Nov. 22, he said undocumented immigrants who have been in the U.S. for 25 years, have children and grandchildren, go to church, pay taxes and obey the law should be given a way to gain legal status.
"I don't see how the -- the party that says it's the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families that have been here a quarter century. And I'm prepared to take the heat for saying, let's be humane in enforcing the law without giving them citizenship but by finding a way to create legality so that they are not separated from their families," he said during the debate.
Such a proposal could benefit more than 3 million undocumented immigrants, according to a Pew Hispanic Center analysis released Thursday.
While the study did not reflect a figure for those in the country more than 25 years, it did show that about 35 percent of the more than 10 million undocumented adults have been in the country for at least 15 years. Overall two-thirds of undocumented immigrants have been in the U.S. for at least ten years, the study found.
What do you think, should Gingrich have signed the pledge?

I have a short trip to London coming up and would love some input on places to eat.
The catch is that I'm a vegan and my husband is not. He's happy to eat veg most of the time, but does like to have a meal with meat every now and then. We've been on a few trips to London recently and we have some favorites, but we're staying in Canary Wharf this time around (it's a business trip we're stretching into a vacation) and haven't spent much time in that area. I'd like some input on veg restaurants as well as ideas for places that serve meat and also have proper vegan options. We like pretty much all cuisines but aren't big on the Chinese/Thai buffets that seem like the most common veg option. Price is not really an issue, but we're not looking for fine dining experiences, just everyday restaurants (up to 40 pounds per person at dinner is fine and we're not big drinkers). We're very willing to travel around the city, but would also appreciate some suggestions in and around Canary Wharf.
For veg restaurants, does anyone have particular recommendations for all-veg South Indian? I've been to one of the Rasa outposts (which I thought was pretty good) and Sagar (underwhelming), but I'm sure there are better options that I'm not aware of.
How is Vanilla Black? It looks like it might be interesting, but also very cheese focused. How does it compare to Saf? Would Itadaki Zen be a better choice for a nice veg restaurant?
Has anyone been to the all veg Coach and Horses? It seems to be new and I haven't found much about it on the internet.
As for restaurants/markets that serve meat but also have vegan options, we've enjoyed Tas, Otto Pizza (actually we love it!), and Borough and Whitecross Street Markets.
It would be great to get recommendations for good Turkish or Lebanese restaurants since Tas can't possibly be the best option. Are there any interesting Ethiopian or other African restaurants we should check out? Modern British options would also be appreciated - we went to The Larder in Clerkenwell on our last trip and thought it was pretty mediocre, but a lot of the better-rated places don't provide a vegan option. Would the Corner Room be a good choice (assuming they cater for vegans with advance notice)?
My husband will also be eating quite a few meals without me in the Canary Wharf area - any good non-vegetarian splurges he should be sure to try?

Sony NEX-3N review: Stylish replacement to NEX-F3By Kevin Carter - Tuesday April 02 2013 Sensor Review
Introduction | Sony NEX-3N sensor performance | Sony NEX-3N versus competition | Conclusion
From our point of view looking at the sensor, the NEX-3N is somewhat disappointing, as there has been no advance in performance terms. However, from the consumers view, the sensor is an established unit and a high performer capable of great image quality. In that respect, the 3N can be seen as only a marginal or iterative update to the F3, but the competitive price, including the new compact, image-stabilized 16-50mm kit zoom, means the NEX-3N remains an appealing choice for beginners.

Two Seniors' "Toy Band" Spotlighted in Kansas City Star
November 18, 2004
November 18, 2004, Greencastle, Ind. - "A band built on a gimmick needs more than just the gimmick to stay alive or regularly employed. Otherwise it quickly becomes a punch line missing its joke," writes Timothy Finn in today's Kansas City Star. "Toy Band comes to town from DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, with a repertoire that takes a big dare: that fans will want to watch Pete Ohs and Amanda Levy play their bouncy pop songs on a cache of kids' stuff." Ohs and Levy are both seniors at DePauw.
"Good thing their music isn't as novel as the instruments the songs are played on, which, according to Levy, amount to $40 worth of thrift-store toys all laid out on an ironing board," Finn's preview of Toy Band's Saturday performance at the Brick continues. "Their motto: Keep it light and simple. As Ohs told a music writer in Cincinnati recently: 'A lot of times I think bands do too much: Too much soloing, too many drum fills, too many chords in a chorus; it's like my kindergarten music teacher told me, simple chord progressions plus simple melodies equals instant catchiness.' He's right about the catchy part."

The Vienna State Opera's new production of "The Marriage of Figaro" is a treat for those who insist Mozart is all about the music. Not so for audience members looking for a bit of on-stage action.
The main problem? A seeming decision by director Jean-Louis Martinoty and stage designer Hans Schavernoch to bow to the genius of both Mozart and his librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte. It's as if Martinoty concluded that any creativity in the staging would be a distraction from the musical and verbal mastery of this fantastic operatic duo.
This classic comedy of errors - a lecherous count's attempts to seduce a servant foiled by her fiance and his wife - challenges any director to be creative in coming up with nimble changes in scenario to match the quickly shifting action. There was none of that in Monday's performance.
Instead, what we have is this: an irritating collection of themeless paintings, big and small, occasionally raised or dropped by the wiring they hang from to reveal a new scene or situation. That static stage means that - except for the period costumes - the evening resembled a concert performance.
The lack of verve was all the more surprising because in some ways this version was a revival, based strongly on a Martinoty production that premiered 13 years ago in Paris. Considered back then as one of the year's best new interpretations anywhere, the production has not aged well.
That left the music all the more important Monday - and here, there was little room for complaint.
Sylvia Schwartz was the star among a stellar cast. Vocally, visually and dramatically, she was the embodiment of the maid Susanna, who conspires with husband-to-be Figaro and others to foil the amorous Count Almaviva. The enjoyment level was high - and a toss-up between her comic abilities and her fluid and flexible voice.
Luca Pisaroni as Figaro was a close second with the only flaw an occasional bottoming out on the lower notes. It did not stop him from delivering a soulful "Non piu andrai farfollone amoroso" ("You are no longer an amorous butterfly)" as the page Cherubino prepares to bid adieu to his life of amorous pursuit to go off to the army.
Also good among a near perfectly cast troupe - Isabel Leonard as Cherubino, Erwin Schrott as the Count, Dorothea Roeschmann as the Countess, Donna Ellen as Marcellina, and Benjamin Bruns as Don Basilio.
Franz Welser-Moest complemented the singers from the pit, conducting an alternatively vigorous and sensitive Vienna State Opera orchestra from the first lilting notes of one of the genre's most famous overtures to the closing seconds of on-stage reconciliation.

It's been awhile since we've seen a "realistic" football-themed show on television. The wait appears to be over – HBO has ordered the pilot of Ballers, starring Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), and it'll be interesting how this compares to ESPN's critically-acclaimed, short-lived Playmakers series. Here are the details of the show from Deadline.
Ballers is exploring the lives of a group of former and current football players. Johnson stars as Spencer Strasmore, a retired athlete. The cast includes Omar Benson Miller as Charles, an affable former pro athlete who is searching for his next career; Denzel Washington's son John David Washington as Ricky, a highly competitive and highly spiritual pro athlete; Rob Corddry as Joe, a financial advisor who tries really hard to fit in; Troy Garity as Jason, a top-tier sports agent; Donovan Carter as Vernon, a deeply family-oriented pro athlete; Jazmyn Simon as Julie, wife of an ex-pro athlete; Taylor Cole as Michaels, an ESPN sideline reporter who is romantically involved with Spencer; and LeToya Luckett as Tina, widow to one of Spencer's closest friends.
OK, so maybe it's not going to be the next Playmakers. But then again, Johnson is just one of several executive producers of the show, along with Mark Wahlberg, Steve Levinson, Evan Reilly, and Peter Berg – that's a pretty loaded crew. The pilot was written by Levinson, and directed by Berg, which should raise expectations.
Production will start later this year. Hopefully, Ballers ends up being more like Playmakers instead of an Entourage-type show with football just thrown in there for the hell of it.

DRUMMOND, TEXAS. Drummond was just west of the Brazos River and three miles southwest of the site of present Newcastle in west central Young County. The settlement evolved in the late nineteenth century across the river from the now-abandoned Belknap community and was named after the pioneer Drummond family, who owned a 5,000-acre local ranch.

UPDATED — Local towns took $3.4 million economic blow from Olympic National Park shutdown in October
By Peninsula Daily News staff

The 16-day partial shutdown because of a federal budget standoff between Republicans and Democrats resulted in about 42,000 fewer visitors to the park.
There were 134,726 visitors in October 2013, down from the three-year October average of 177,431 between 2010 and 2012, the analysis showed.
That resulted in a loss of about $3.4 million in visitor spending in communities that surround the parks, the report said.
A separate National Park Service report released Monday found that national parks across the country served as an economic engine for neighboring communities near the park, where people buy food, eat at restaurants, get gas or find lodging.
In Washington state, 7.5 million people who visited national park lands spent a total of about $419 million in 2012.
At Olympic National Park, about 2.8 million visitors in 2012 spent $220 million in lodging, food, recreations and other areas. The spending supported about 5,100 jobs in communities surrounding the parks.
Diane Schostak, director of the Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau in Port Angeles, said, "Every town around the Peninsula benefits from having this World Heritage park in our midst."
More than 1 million people visited Mount Rainier National Park and spent nearly $37 million in surrounding areas, while nearly 810,000 visitors to the North Cascades National Park Service Complex resulted in about $33 million in visitor spending in nearby communities.
Nationwide, the government shutdown resulted in a loss of $414 million in visitor spending in surrounding communities and a drop of 7.88 million in visitors.
Not all parks were included in the government shutdown analysis. Olympic was one of 45 parks that experienced a decline greater than $2 million in spending related to national parks.
The study was conducted by three U.S. Geological Survey researchers based in Fort Collins, Colo.
The national results were announced last week, and Olympic National Park officials released Peninsula figures Monday.
The national report said there was $14.7 billion of direct spending by 283 million visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park in 2012.
This spending supported 243,000 jobs nationally, with 201,000 jobs found in these gateway communities, and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.75 billion.

Guncoin (GUN) is a virtual currency that began out of a love and appreciation of firearms, computing and investing. That, along with extensive experience buying and selling firearms via online auctions such as Gunbroker.com, prompted us to come up with a better, faster and cheaper payment solution that could easily be adopted for all to use. Thus, Guncoin was born.
Speaking from experience, when buying and selling firearms related goods, it is extremely hard to find a payment processor. Unfortunately, the choices are very limited. PayPal does not accept transactions for firearms in US Dollars. BitPay does not accept transactions for firearms in Bitcoin (BTC) and most traditional credit card processors will not either. While some 3rd party processors may, they do so only with an incredibly high fee (usually 25% or more). Legitimate firearms businesses are being forced to close their doors because nobody will process their payments. Guncoin (GUN) will change all of that because it is decentralized – no single company controls Guncoin. Additionally, transactions post almost instantly and are fully confirmed in just minutes. Even more importanly – There are no fees! So you wonder where Guncoin is going – this is it:
More Competition Drives Better Business – Currently there are relatively few successful online firearms auctions and firearms-related retailers. One major reason for this is that it is incredibly hard to find a payment processor that will serve a firearms-related business. This has kept competition low and left the public with only a few online auctions and retailers and even fewer payment processors. Guncoin is encouraging new retailers to join the market. With more competition, retailers are driven to keep up with new and better technologies and ways to attract new customers. That, in turn benefits everybody.
A Smoother Experience – No more waiting for cashiers checks in the mail and no more waiting for them to be cashed on the other end. You can literally have the transaction initiated and confirmed in a matter of minutes.
Participate to Help – We want to see "GUNCOIN ACCEPTED HERE" at every firearms-related business and you can help make it happen! The more people buy, sell, trade, mine and just plain USE Guncoin, the bigger our market gets. You can help just by getting in on the fun!
When Guncoin was created, it was determined that a maximum of 500 million coins can ever be mined. A small portion of that was set aside and given as rewards for crowdfunding and IPCO contributors. The IPCO went well and now enables Guncoin to advertise more and invest in its projects at a faster rate. Some of those projects currently include:
- More Server Nodes & Server Upgrades
- Media Advertising
- Web Development (ongoing)
- Paper Wallet Creation for Local Gun Shows
- Guncoin Firearms Auction
- GUN Drive for Charity
Guncoin aims to provide the firearms industry a fast, stable and secure method of accepting micro transactions, while protecting their customers privacy and advancing the firearms industry into the crypto age. We hope that you will find all the information on the site here to be very useful and strongly consider using Guncoin for your personal and business needs. Please contact us if you have any questions or comments!

I have a pot that came with a steamer basket and a pasta insert. But sometimes, I find that the basket is too small for things like dungeness crabs, lobsters, etc. Has anyone ever used their pasta insert as the steamer basket?
The only issue I see is that since the pasta insert is so deep, there isn't much room left to add water.

England ace Gary Cahill heaps praise on Guus Hiddink for backing Chelsea's young stars
Cahill also said Spain striker Costa – who has scored ten goals in 14 appearances under Hiddink – now has his mojo back.
"As a striker if you score goals, you feel like every time you take the field you think you're going to score," added Cahill, who agreed Costa seemed to be getting less agitated in recent games.
"I'm sure he's in that mindset now, that no longer do people say that he hasn't scored in three or four games."

* Euro falls after Bundesbank downgrades growth outlook
* Sterling vulnerable to concerns about UK rating
* Investors look ahead to U.S. non-farm payrolls at 1330 GMT
By Nia Williams
LONDON, Dec 7 (Reuters) - The British pound hit a two-week high against the euro on Friday, with the shared currency coming under broad pressure after Germany's central bank cut its country's growth outlook.
The Bundesbank report came a day after the European central Bank predicted the euro zone economy could shrink next year, leaving the door open for future interest rate cuts.
Strategists said the pound's strength could be short-lived. Investors are wary of buying sterling after UK finance minister George Osborne said this week Britain would miss debt-reduction targets, raising concerns the country could lose its prized AAA credit rating.
The euro fell 0.2 percent on the day to 80.55 pence, its lowest level since Nov. 22, and dipping below support from the 200-day moving average at 80.57 pence. Market players reported bids at 80.50 and 80.30 pence that could cap further losses.
"The Bundesbank downgrade and ECB downgrade are having an effect but it's more a case of euro weakness than sterling strength," said Peter Kinsella, FX strategist at Commerzbank.
"Fourth quarter growth is going to be very weak in the UK and Chancellor Osborne's statement did not put a bright shine on things. Following that we have got a heavy probability of a UK downgrade and that's not going to be good for sterling."
Against the dollar, sterling was close to flat on the day at $1.6042 having retreated from a high of $1.6131 hit earlier in the week.
The next focus for investors will be UK industrial and manufacturing output data for October at 0930 GMT. Industrial output is expected to recover from last month's steep decline, but manufacturing data could show a slowdown.
"Production data for October should show a small improvement versus September and thus get Q4 off to a reasonable start. It is hard to see the data having a massive impact though, and sterling/dollar is still languishing beneath $1.6060," said RBC Capital Markets in a note.
Market players were also looking ahead to U.S. employment data at 1330 GMT. Commerzbank strategists said the dollar could rally if the number of jobs added are greater than the 93,000 forecast, as investors may pare back bets of further easing from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

There is a management chasm emerging that left unchecked could destroy your organizations future.
A chasm is a marked division, separation, or difference between one point and another. In the field of management practices the points are past practices vs. future practices. Being stuck in the chasm means you are not going anywhere but down the ravine.
In a Forbes article titled "Do Managers Matter Anymore?" Giovanni Rodriguez writes: While some very large firms can still get away with adopting a command-and-control approach to their ecosystem, the growth and learning of business ecosystems depend on adopting a very different leadership approach, one that focuses on persuasion and motivation. Leaders who rose in traditional command and control environments can find that this quickly takes them outside their comfort zone.
But there's something even bigger they need to address, because even the bully pulpit is not enough. In the so-called leaderless world, CEOs not only need to raise their game as leaders. They need to understand how to raise the game of others. To quote management consulting icon Tom Peters – whose personal brand came of age at the dawn of the digital era that's brought so much disruption, "leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders."
A very different kind of "CEO as hero" is now emerging, one who sees the opportunity to amplify the impact of everyone by shaping and influencing rather than directing. That's a long way from the mindset of the leaderless organization. What we're looking at is the opportunity to make organizations "leaderful." In the meantime, if you're a CEO, we recommend that you ask if your leadership glass is half empty or half full. There's cause for optimism for CEOs who know they matter, but understand how others matter too.
But What Matters Most?
Most of our management rituals were invented (a very long time ago) to promote discipline, control, alignment, and predictability—all laudable goals. To out-innovate the upstarts, a company must reengineer all of these processes so they facilitate bold thinking and radical doing. Thinking and acting radical is the new focus on the 21 century organization. To think and act radically requires management to not think selfishly. The entie model of management has been designed as a selfish tank of control and power.
In case you haven't noticed selfishness is out and selflessness is in. That means management can no longer be the center of control of information and power rather management must serve the power nodes that control information and direct engagement with customers, markets, suppliers and employees.
The chasm is the ravine created by the lack of understanding and lack of willingness to understand.

Instead of dressing in green this March, bust out your pink. After a 60-year hiatus, flamingos are returning to Portland's Oregon Zoo.
Traveling from the San Antonio Zoo, 21 male lesser flamingos — the smallest of the species — will make a new home in the recently remodeled Africa Rainforest aviary. Also featuring ducks, pochards and ibises, the aviary reopens to the public March 23.
The lesser flamingo, or Phoenicopterus minor, "stands nearly three feet tall and weighs three to six pounds, with a wingspan up to 41 inches," according to a news release. Unlike other flamingos, their bills are completely black. The pink birds feed on spirulina, a bacteria that give the birds their unique color.
Although the new flamingos are all male, the zoo hopes to add females and begin a reproductive program in the future. Despite the fact they are not considered an endangered species, the birds' main breeding sites are at risk due to pollution and human encroachment, according to the release.
The renovated atrium features a pool especially designed for flamingos, a nesting area and separate holding areas for the birds that share the aviary. The lagoon renovations are part of a larger, donor-funded aviary upgrade project.
General admission to the zoo is $11.50 for adults, $10 for seniors (ages 65 and older) and $8.50 for children (ages 3 to 11). For more information, visit www.oregonzoo.org or contact 503-226-1561.

Linux Chrome with Gtk+: Cross-Platform Complication
If Google were to use Qt, things would be much simpler and Chrome would have a unified interface under Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. But Google isn't satisfied with Qt.
Release of the native Linux version of the Google Chrome browser is still planned for June 2009. Unfortunately, more problems than first anticipated keep cropping up. According to recent OSnews, they mainly have to do with the graphical interface.
Google uses an internal views library for Chrome's user interface that enables, for example, placement of tabs in the title bar with the idea of adhering to the Chrome principles "simple, unobtrusive, fast." Because Chrome was never from the start conceived as multi-platform software (how would it otherwise have come to the idea of using WinHTTP), the views were never ported to Linux or Mac. Google had already decided a long time ago not to use views for the Mac version, but to rely instead on a completely native version of Chrome based on Cocoa. For Linux, Chrome hacker Evan Martin suggests three possible options:
1) As close to Windows as possible, porting views.
2) As close to native as possible, avoiding views.
3) Something in the middle, hacking views.
Martin eliminates 1 right from the get-go, calls 2 "insane, becoming more tempting," but prefers option 3. Meanwhile, Chrome project lead Ben Goodger has slipped into the discussion to explain why Chrome decided against Qt as a cross-platform solution and chose Gtk+ instead. More details on Goodger's views here.
Why not Qt?The licensing hasn't been an issue since 2005, when Trolltech finally released Qt/Windows under the GPL, but maybe Google was working on Chrome before then, when Qt/Windows was still under a proprietary license? Sure, it would've been easier for the Google developers to use Qt so that there would only need to be a single code base for all three platforms, but it's not the answer if you want to build apps on either Windows or Mac OS X that are truly native.
Re: At the time qt was incumberedYour "facts" about Qt are just plain wrong, and everybody capable of checking Qt's licensing can see that. You people spreading FUD about Qt without having a clue are so annoying.
At the time qt was incumberedWhen Google was first considering the Chrome project Qt was still under a very non-open license. Sure you could use Qt for non-commercial apps running under linux, but under windows not so. So using Qt on windows would have been prohibitive based on cost (until very recently developing Qt apps in windows cost a lot). Also The goal was to create a very fast browser. To that end Google, on the Windows platform, made sure to make use of low level Windows calls (there is much use of Windows Active Template Library). Simply put Qt could not offer the same level of performance on Windows. period. So The entire cross platform argument is also out the window. I know that there is a very active qt vs gtk+ (which mirrors the KDE vs Gnome debate), but really?
