Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is hardly a "new" game. Yet, even though Capcom is essentially regurgitating a mini-game that originally came out six years ago (in Resident Evil 4), pumping lead into non-stop waves of undead flesh-eaters is still pretty fun on the 3DS, especially if you're playing alongside another person. Unfortunately, Mercenaries hasn't really evolved much since it last appeared as an extra in Resident Evil 5...and its entertainment value is limited, as you can blast through its missions in only a couple of hours.
The Mercenaries 3D has a lot of things working in its favour. It's the first Resident Evil title on the 3DS, previous incarnations of Mercenaries are proven hits among fans, and the series has a profusion of iconic enemies and locations to draw from. Mercs is also perfect for the kind of quick-hit experience the 3DS lends itself to. But instead of building on the core concept of teaming up with another player to battle Resident Evil's assortment of cultists and infected aggressors, the game's more or less unchanged. Even the settings -- which are ripped directly from RE4 and RE5 -- are somewhat bland and lack diversity.
It's a shame, too, because playing the game cooperatively with another player (either locally or via the internet) is genuinely entertaining. While it lasts, at least. And aside from occasional choppy animations of enemies in the distance, The Mercenaries 3D is also one of the best-looking video games available on the 3DS, and it showcases the visual horsepower the device is capable of delivering. There's almost as much detail and polish to Mercs 3D as Resident Evil's console releases.
But in terms of what's actually new in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, there are only a few bits worth mentioning. The most notable enhancement to Mercs are the secret characters and special skills you can unlock by racking up kills, completing missions before time runs out, and earning letter grades for your performance (which range from the lowest, "D," to the highest, "SS"). You can even equip characters with up to three skills, which boost things like the damage you inflict with specific weapons and your resistance to certain attacks. It's a step in the right direction, but doesn't do nearly enough to deepen Mercenaries.
I do like how each character has their own specific weapons and melee attacks, which forces you to try out different mercs to see who best suits your play-style. I played most often with Umbrella Security Service Commando, "Hunk," who's armed with a P8 handgun, a grenade launcher that fires flash grenades, and an AK-47. His melee attack is quite cool, too, as he jams his knife into the throats of nearby enemies.
The game also comes with a playable demo of the upcoming, story-driven Resident Evil game, Revelations. The demo's only about two minutes long, but it gives you a small taste of what to expect from Revelations, which takes place on a boat infested with oddly-shaped creatures that look like something out of an H.P. Lovecraft novel.
The Mercenaries 3D had the potential to be an awesome expansion to Resident Evil's popular survival mode. But due to a severe lack of new content, it's not worth $40, and it almost certainly won't hold your attention once you complete the all-too-brief missions.
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D: Specs
- Age Rating: 15
- Age Rating: 15
Largely a repackaging of old content, The Mercenaries 3D is a competent co-op shooter that ultimately falls short due to a severe lack of meat on its bones.

Testifying against marijuana legalization before the Maryland legislature today, Annapolis Police Chief Michael Pristoop warned of the potentially lethal consequences. "The first day of legalization, that's when Colorado experienced 37 deaths that day from overdose on marijuana," Pristoop told the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee. "I remember the first day it was decriminalized there were 37 deaths."
As Sen. Jamie Raskin (D-Montgomery) quickly pointed out, what Pristoop actually remembered was a joke story at The Daily Currant headlined "Marijuana Overdoses Kill 37 in Colorado on First Day of Legalization." The article included a quote from "Peter Swindon, president and CEO of local brewer MolsonCoors," who supposedly said: "We told everyone this would happen. Marijuana is a deadly hardcore drug that causes addiction and destroys lives. When was the last time you heard of someone overdosing on beer? All these pro-marijuana groups should be ashamed of themselves. The victims' blood is on their hands."
Pristoop seemed taken aback that something he had seen in print might not be the literal truth. "If it was a misquote," he told Raskin, "then I'll stand behind the mistake. But I'm holding on to information I was provided."

The New York Knicks might have to wait until the playoffs are over before they hire a new head coach.
The New York Daily News reports that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Derek Fisher is emerging as the leading candidate for the Knicks head coaching job, following a rejection from Steve Kerr. Kerr was Knicks president Phil Jackson's first choice, but he chose to take the job with the Golden State Warriors to be closer to his family.
The Thunder are currently ahead in their second-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers 3-2. Fisher will retire once the playoffs are over, but if his team makes it to the NBA Finals, that wouldn't happen for over a month.
Fisher played on the Los Angeles Lakers under Jackson for most of his career, and Jackson has faith in him even though he obviously has no coaching experience.
The Daily News also reported that Jackson could assemble a qualified coaching staff around Fisher in Kurt Rambis and Bill Cartwright, who both have head coaching experience. If Fisher declines or doesn't make the cut, Rambis would likely be their next choice.

So you've started a Facebook page for your business or cause. But it hasn't gone viral or really pushed the popularity needle. Why is that? Online marketing blog Marketing Land explains why your page hasn't been getting many "likes."
The first reason could be that you're just not that interesting. If you have a page, make sure people have some sort of reason to keep coming back. Most people on Facebook probably have no idea who you are, as even fans of your page probably only see a fraction of your posts.
Marketing Land also notes that page admins should know their audience and post what they want to read, see or hear. Using Facebook Insights, page administrators can get detailed information about their fans. It would be wise to use it.
Courtney Seiter explains:
When you're writing, you've got to know the reader you're writing for. The same is true in social media.
Use Facebook Insights to learn key information about your audience, like age group, gender and where they're from. Once you're able to develop a picture in your head of your typical fan, keep them in mind with everything you post.
While Marketing Land has several worthwhile points for businesses on Facebook, Mashable has a funny comic showing why your personal page might not be that popular, either.
Readers: How do you successfully use your page to reach out to fans and customers?

"A man knows who his heart truly belongs to. Nothing any girl; no matter what she looks like, can ever do, say or bring to his table will ever change his loyalty to his heart and that love. His heart is forever locked to protect that love, never to be opened by another, for only she holds the key. ~ Murph"
"People who love only once in their lives are. . . shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination."
"Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses."
"A friend is one with whom you are comfortable, to whom you are loyal, through whom you are blessed, and for whom you are grateful."

Dr. Abraham Verghese: "A Doctor's Touch" Talk
Tue, April 1, 2014 | AT&T Conference Center
I hope that you will be able to join us next Tuesday, April 1 (7:00pm at the AT&T Conference Center) for Dr. Abraham Verghese's Lecture: A Doctor's Touch. Our friends in the College of Natural Sciences have asked Dr. Verghese to expand on his TED Talk by the same name.
Dr. Verghese's Biography
Dr. Verghese is a New York Times bestselling author of the book Cutting for Stone and is Senior Associate Chair of Stanford University's School of Medicine. He will speak about balancing tradition with technology as medicine enters the 21st century. Dr. Verghese discusses a future for healthcare which marries technological innovation with the traditional doctor-patient relationship. He grounds his practice in a humanistic commitment to listening to patients' stories and providing what patients want most -- a true caregiver.
From Dr. Verghese's TED Profile
"In our era of the patient-as-data-point, Abraham Verghese believes in the old-fashioned physical exam, the bedside chat, the power of informed observation."
Why you should listen
Before he finished medical school, Abraham Verghese spent a year on the other end of the medical pecking order, as a hospital orderly. Moving unseen through the wards, he saw the patients with new eyes, as human beings rather than collections of illnesses. The experience has informed his work as a doctor -- and as a writer. "Imagining the Patient's Experience" was the motto of the Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics, which he founded at the University of Texas San Antonio, where he brought a deep-seated empathy. He's now a professor for the Theory and Practice of Medicine at Stanford, where his old-fashioned weekly rounds have inspired a new initiative, the Stanford 25, teaching 25 fundamental physical exam skills and their diagnostic benefits to interns.
He's also a best-selling writer, with two memoirs and a novel, Cutting for Stone, a moving story of two Ethiopian brothers bound by medicine and betrayal.
He says: "I still find the best way to understand a hospitalized patient is not by staring at the computer screen but by going to see the patient; it's only at the bedside that I can figure out what is important."
In 2011, Verghese was elected to the Institute of Medicine, which advises the government and private institutions on medicine and health on a national level.
Please click here to listen!
Dr. Verghese is also well-known for his New York Times articles "Treat the Patient, Not the CT Scan" and "Restoring the Lost Art of the Physical Exam". He has published extensively in The New Yorker, Sports Illustrated, The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, Granta, The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and elsewhere.
The Co-Op will have copies of his books for sale, and Dr. Verghese will sign limited copies.

About Instructional Design for eLearning
Our Purpose
The IDeL team has one principal goal: to develop confident and competent faculty, prepared to teach in blended and fully online learning environments, who are able to integrate technology in a way that is learner-centered and pedagogically sound.
We believe that when used properly, instructional technology can create an active learning environment in which students are better able to master content, develop valuable skills, and form learning communities.
How will we do this?
The IDeL team supports Grand Valley faculty in the use of information technology to enhance curriculum, support teaching and learning, and to promote the exchange of creative ideas, resources, and research using technology. We do so through the following:
- Consulting with individual faculty on pedagogy, course design, and the selection of appropriate instructional technologies.
- Working with departments to offer Teaching Circles in the areas of pedagogy and instructional technology.
- Providing support for web-based learning, including guidance in the use of various instructional methods for web-based instruction.
- Offering workshops on the pedagogical and technical aspects of teaching, learning, and technology integration.
- Providing resources, such as books, conference announcements, research articles, and web resources that support web-based instruction.
- Highlighting best practices and exemplars of the integration of technology and instruction.
- Engaging with the scholarship of teaching and learning, specifically that regarding the role of technology in education.
- Working closely with the Pew Faculty Teaching & Learning Center on broader issues of faculty development.

RALEIGH � If the only Gotye song that you are familiar with is �Somebody That You Used to Know,� you are doing yourself a disservice.
While the summer hit has been his ticket to international recognition, the Australian native has much more to offer. He brought his profound talents to the Red Hat Amphitheater, formerly known as the Raleigh Amphitheater, in downtown Raleigh Monday night.
Born Wally De Backer, Gotye recorded the majority of his current album, �Making Mirrors,� by himself in a barn on his parents� property. One might imagine that an artist who sequestered themselves might not have much of a stage presence, but Gotye electrified the performance.
Both he and his other band members seemed to genuinely enjoy making music together as De Backer moved between instruments and mixing equipment on the stage. He is comfortable at the microphone or in front of a piano, but it is easy to see that his first love is still the drums. Several solos peppered the performance that showcased his significant rhythmic talent.
Excitingly enough, the predominant demographic of Monday night�s crowd skewed toward the twenty-to thirty-somethings, which is ultimately the target audience for the majority of Gotye�s music. With a song in the Top 40, I was nervous that the teeny-bopper crowd might invade and wait around for the one tune that they recognize.
However, even the few folks who looked like they made a wrong turn on the way to a Justin Bieber concert knew the words to a handful of songs.
If you want to explore more of Gotye�s work, check out the songs �Save Me,� �In Your Light� and �State of the Art.�
Gotye proves he's more than a one-hit wonder

The Pakistan women's cricket team's visit to India for the World Cup has turned into a security and logistical nightmare. First, the team could not go to Mumbai, where its matches were originally scheduled, after the Shiv Sena started issuing its usual threats against visiting Pakistani teams. Now, hotels at the alternative venue of Cuttack and neighbouring city Bhubaneshwar have refused lodging to our players out of fear. Our cricketers now have to play this all-important tournament under virtual house arrest, with their accommodation being provided at the clubhouse of the stadium in which all their matches will be played. Every other team will be staying in five-star hotels. This discrimination is undoubtedly unfair and puts our team at a significant disadvantage. The team has been conciliatory about its treatment but the International Cricket Council (ICC) should take note of this.
International teams have refused to visit Pakistan over justified security fears. It seems, however, that if we simply put international teams at clubhouses in stadiums and refuse to let them go anywhere else, the security problem would apparently be solved. No country, of course, would accept such conditions to play cricket in Pakistan. Yet, our women cricketers are expected to put up with this in India. Additionally, the final of the tournament is supposed to be held in Mumbai. India needs to explain how our cricketers will be able to stay in Mumbai in the current climate if we reach the final.
The ICC also needs to consider if India should be allowed to hold multi-nation tournaments at a time when it can't guarantee safety of all players. It is now too late to reschedule the World Cup and our pulling out of the tournament in protest will only heighten tensions. We should make clear that we are only playing under duress and that such conditions are unacceptable if any of our sportspersons tour India again. Instead of appeasing the anti-Pakistan extremists, the Indian government must ensure the safety and comfort of our players.

I have found a new appreciation for golf.
The picturesque fields and tranquility of the game make me swell with emotion that reminds me of how bad I miss. . . naps.
Seriously, who watches golf on TV?
This conversation came up Father's Day and it reminded me of watching golf with my Great-Uncle Ray who had come to visit my family when I was about 11 years old and living in Lilburn, Ga.
Uncle Ray, who lived close during my years near Detroit, was a great guy. He was one of my favorite relatives. He was good to me, except for that time that he fed me eggnog that was incredibly too hot for a small child.
So it may sound odd hearing that he was a wonderful person when the man gave me some hot-liquefied, almost baby chickens that I burned my impressionable tongue drinking.
I guess that is better than buying eggnog in the store. The only thing worse than the above-mentioned hot Christmastime drink is a glass of cold eggs fresh from the grocer's cooler.
I am pretty certain that whomever thought of the idea of serving eggs in a glass was pulling a prank on someone.
Other than the great eggnog incident of '82, Uncle Ray was a stand-up guy.
During his visit to Lilburn, I was left alone with Uncle Ray as the rest of my family, and Ray's traveling companions (probably his wife) had all gone shopping, or run out for a glass of hot eggs.
Uncle Ray and I were left to watch some television. He was the elder, so he decided what to watch. Much to my dismay, it was golf.
I am a sports fan. I could watch most baseball games, almost any NFL game, and many college basketball games. While I stay away from the NBA, I may check out a game or two in finals.
But what I detest watching, what I refuse to watch, is golf. The game is boring. I don't have the desire to play the game, let alone watch millionaires walk (or ride) on a golf course while someone else carries their bags.
And these dudes are called athletes? That is just like calling NASCAR drivers athletes — just kidding! Please don't throw Tide, Busch beer and Mountain Dew at my house, racing fans.
Golfers don't really have to watch their weight or focus too much on cardio. I'm talking to you, John Daly.
Anyway, Uncle Ray flipped on the US Open, the Scotland Yards or the Augusta something — and one of those events may actually be a tennis event.
Regardless, he began to watch golf, and within minutes he was asleep.
Naturally, I took the remote and turned it to MTV to see the new Guns 'n Roses video, or I may have switched the channel to an "A-Team" rerun.
Apparently the shrieking of Axl Rose, or the grumbling of BA Baracus after he awoke following a flight, were too much for Uncle Ray. Within seconds of my sneaky channel change, the man was awake and asking that the channel be returned to the rich white dudes puttering around.
This happened several times. We would watch golf, Uncle Ray would snooze, I would change the channel, he would make me switch it back. Rinse and repeat.
In the end, he won.
Uncle Ray is no longer with us, but when I look back, there were some lessons he taught me that will live on.
The first is to stay away from eggnog. The stuff has no place near my mouth, hot or cold. He also taught me that golf is a terrific cure for insomnia.

From: "Lois Kaufman" <>
Subject: [British Jewry] Naturalisations
Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2004 15:21:03 -0000
Dear List,
I have noticed that in my family, naturalisations took place many years
after immigration. One of my g-grandfathers, Jacob Levy, from Luknik,
Lithuania was already in the UK at the time of the 1881 census, but he did
not naturalise until 1909. His naturalisation record mentions his former
name, Kirschner, which I have never found used in this country. On another
branch, my g-g-grandfather Abraham Levy (no relation) arrived here from
Rogasen, near Posen in Poland (then Prussia) in about 1849/1850 with five
young children. Two of these children, half brothers, naturalised in 1895.
(I found one of them in an earlier census as having been born in the UK!) I
am interested to know what made them naturalise after so many years - was it
financial stability, or were there other factors - social, political that
caused this?

SONA did not adequately address key environmental matters
In this regard, we continue to have concerns about fracking going ahead since the lifting of the moratorium on fracking in the Karoo. WWF is concerned that government's capacity and willingness to implement and monitor stringent environmental standards is doubtful given the poor record in the mining sector. We encourage government to explore other cleaner energy options for our energy challenges than fracking.
WWF recognises the mention of the roll-out of renewable energy projects. This is a very important part of the green economy and the green accord, but for renewables to have lasting and beneficial impacts on our economy we have to have a much longer term horizon for the development of the renewable sector in the country. South Africa needs to move away from its minerals intensive economy to other sources of growth and WWF's main interest is in expansion of the green economy.
We note the mention of the development of two new dams, but demand to see how the catchments that will supply these dams will be managed. This was not outlined in last night's speech and highlights South Africa's continued water challenges. Thus, in our obsession with engineering infrastructure, we appear to ignore our 'ecological' infrastructure.
Furthermore, WWF would like to see greater leadership on how the impacts of coal mining on water will be minimised after Mining Minister Susan Shabangu recently proposed that coal be declared a 'strategic resource'. A recent analysis by WWF indicates that only eight per cent of South Africa's land surface generates 50% of our rainfall run-off; much of this right on top of abundant coal resources. We had therefore hoped that the President will explicitly deal with the conflict between water and coal in our National Planning Commission and the new National Water Resource Strategy.
Lastly, given the general public outcry over the rate at which our rhino are being poached, WWF-SA would like to have heard more from the President in this regard. This is a critical issue with broader impacts on both the national economy and security. We are surprised that Mozambique was not mentioned as a transit country of priority for rhino horn. More than two-thirds of our poached rhino horn are exported through Mozambique. It is critical that our President takes this matter up with his Mozambican counterpart.

The 'dog lady of New Delhi', Pratima Devi, is a rag picker and has chosen to dedicate her life to stray dogs. Pratima lives in a tarp-covered shed with her 120 dogs and sells scraps to feed them, despite barely being able to feed herself.

Collusion, symmetry, and the Banzhaf value
We resolve redundancies in the characterizations of the Banzhaf value suggested by Haller (1994, Int J Game Theory 23, 261-281) and Malawski (2002, Int J Game Theory 31:47-67). In particular, we show that the collusion properties employed by them are equivalent. Combined with the dummy player axiom, any of the collusion properties has strong symmetry implications whenever the cardinality of the player set exceeds two. Finally, we establish that the Banzhaf value is non-redundantly characterized by the dummy player axiom and any of the collusion properties, provided that the player set is as above.

(Narrator )
In 1909 New Mexico, ruthless outlaw John Fain and his gang attack the opulent McCandles ranch. Because most of the hands are on a roundup, those who remain are easily overcome. More than ten men, women and children are killed or seriously wounded, including Jeff McCandles, whose nine-year-old son, Little Jake, is kidnapped. As the gang rides off, Fain throws a ransom note to Martha McCandles, the strong-willed family matriarch, demanding one million dollars. Family friend Buck Duggan, head of the Texas Rangers, does not want Martha to pay the ransom and suggests trailing Fain into Mexico, but she refuses, convinced that the job calls for a particularly unpleasant and harsh sort of man, her long-estranged husband, Jacob McCandles. After receiving an urgent note from Martha, Jake and his dog arrive at the McCandles train station, where he is greeted enthusiastically, except by his son James, who resents his long-absent father and sarcastically calls him "Daddy," precipitating a fistfight. Despite their long-held animosity, Jake and Martha still love each other, and Martha gently tells Jake about his grandson, whom he has never seen. She then shows him a trunk filled with one million dollars, and he agrees to handle things as she wishes. They soon begin to bicker over details, though, and each remembers how stubborn the other is. Minutes later, their youngest son, Michael, arrives at the station on his motorcycle, informing them that he has seen the gang while reconnoitering, and that Little Jake is alive. He then suggests a plan whereby the Rangers would drive automobiles ahead to a spot where they could ambush the approaching gang. Jake is adamant that the plan will not work and refuses to go along with it. Although Martha endorses Michael's proposal, she agrees to let Jake try doing things his way, as a backup plan. Jake then sets out on his horse, accompanied by his dog and four pack animals, at first riding parallel to the Rangers' automobiles, but gradually lagging further behind. The next morning, Jake is joined by his old friend Sam, an Apache tracker. Meanwhile, Michael, who has been riding his motorcycle in front of the convoy of automobiles, circles back to tell them that he has seen the outlaws. Driving ahead, the party sees what they think is a perfect place to ambush Fain's gang. Unknown to them, Fain and his men have their own ambush plan and attack the convoy from hiding places in the surrounding hills. During the ambush, the automobiles are incapacitated and several of the Rangers are killed or wounded. Michael furiously rides his motorcycle around the gang to distract them, then loops close by their horses, making Fain realize that they must leave immediately. Grabbing Little Jake, who has been hiding, Fain and his men then ride off. In the midday sun, just as buzzards are circling the stranded Rangers, Jake and Sam arrive. Buck apologizes for his mistaken judgment, but Jake cannot take the wounded men back to town. Instead, he and Sam, now accompanied by James, who had been with Buck, and the trunk of money, continue following Fain's trail. A short time later, they see Michael's motorcycle and what appears to be his body down on a cliff. When Jake discovers that Michael is alive but was just pretending to be dead in case the Fain gang was approaching, he knocks him down for frightening him and for risking his grandson's life with his ambush plan. Michael then continues with Jake, despite a buckshot wound in his posterior. When they camp for the night, James, who chafes under his father's orders, confronts him about why he left the family, suggesting that Jake had "a weakness for the ladies." Jake refuses to discuss it, then roughly removes the buckshot from Michael's backside. With Sam's scouting, they know that the Fains are only about three or four hours away. At a stop on the trail, Michael tells Jake that he is an excellent rifle shot, but when he tries to shoot a new type of weapon, a semi-automatic pistol, he cannot control it and forces everyone to dive for cover. That night, as James customizes his holster so that he can quick draw the semi-automatic pistol, Fain rides up to camp, saying he is a messenger. He tosses Little Jake's underwear to Jake, who pretends merely to be a hired hand. Fain says that they should go to Escondera and wait, then warns that others have heard about the trunk full of money, but no matter what happens, he must bring the one million dollars or the boy will be killed. After Fain rides out, Sam tells Jake that two men are close enough to camp to have heard everything. Jake orders them killed, but one escapes. The McCandles arrive in the booming oil town of Escondera during a fiesta. After they check into a hotel, Jake devises a plan to have Michael hide in the room while James creates a distraction for Sam secretly to return. Later, as James drinks and flirts with dancehall girls in the saloon, Jake goes to the barbershop to take a bath. At the appropriate moment, James starts a fight that spills over onto the street, enabling Sam to sneak back their hotel room undetected. At the barbershop, one of Fain's men tries to kill Jake in the shower, but Jake shoots him first and kills him. Meanwhile, when men break into the hotel room to steal the trunk, Sam and Michael kill them. When Jake and James return, his sons see that the trunk contains only newspaper and assume that Jake has stolen the money. Michael and James then fight with their father but are both knocked out by him. After Jake revives them, he reveals that he and Martha had secretly decided that they would not reward the kidnappers, who had already killed many of their ranchhands. As they are talking, Pop Dawson, one of Fain's men, comes to their room and reveals the details of exchanging the money for the boy, telling Jake that there will be a sharpshooter keeping Little Jake in his sight for an hour after the exchange to ensure that nothing goes wrong. When alone, Jake tells Michael that his job is to kill the sharpshooter, then goes with Sam and James to meet Pop. Pop is suspicious that "the fourth man" is not with them, but Jake tells him that he was killed and his body is at the jail. Although skeptical, Pop does not want to go to the jail to check the story. Unknown to Pop, Michael is trailing behind as the men ride off. At a deserted hacienda outside town, Pop tells Jake to go inside with the trunk. After Fain greets him, Jake tells the other members of the gang to come out where he can see them. Fain then tells Jake to open the trunk, but Jake refuses until he sees Little Jake. When the boy appears, Fain warns that Little Jake's head will be shot off by his brother Will if anything happens. Jake then throws the trunk's key to Fain, who is momentarily stunned when he sees that the trunk only contains newspaper, enabling Jake to draw his gun. Fain yells to Will to shoot Little Jake, but Michael kills him first, enabling Little Jake to run away. In the melee that follows, all of Fain's gang members are killed, as is Jake's dog, who, in trying to save his master's life, is brutally killed by a machete wielded by one of Fain's men. Fain himself is mortally wounded by Michael, after which the McCandles family head for home.

The film's working title was
The Million Dollar Kidnapping
, and some news items referred to it simply as
Million Dollar Kidnapping
. Maureen O'Hara is listed last in both the opening and closing cast credits. The opening credits read "And Maureen O'Hara as Martha," while in the closing credits her character name is listed as "Martha McCandles."
Throughout the opening credits, which are interspersed with photographs depicting famous persons, places and events from the early twentieth century, an off-screen narrator describes the contrasting history of the East and the West. The segment also includes a brief sequence from the popular 1903 film
The Great Train Robbery
(see below). The narration continues past the opening credits as "John Fain" and his gang ride toward the McCandles' ranch. The footage gradually changes from a sepia tone to color, then each of the gang members is introduced by the narrator.
In a running joke in the film, when various characters discover "Jake McCandles'" identity, they say "I thought you were dead." At the film's climax, when the dying Fain asks the question, Jake finally answers "Not hardly." According to the film's pressbook and reviews, it was shot on location in Mexico, primarily in and around Durango. Other locations mentioned in the pressbook include Los Organos, where the ambush sequence was shot, El Saltito, the site of a waterfall that was used as a backdrop to another sequence, Las Huertas, La Punta, Lerdo de Tejaca, El Pueblito and El Arenal.
As noted in the pressbook,
Big Jake
marked the acting debut of John Wayne's son Ethan (also known as John Ethan Wayne), who portrayed "Little Jake McCandles." Some sources refer to him as John Ethan Wayne. John Wayne's adult son Michael produced the film, and his other adult son, Patrick, portrayed "James McCandles." Actor Robert Mitchum's son, Chris Mitchum, portrayed "Michael McCandles." Although the film was not the first for singer Bobby Vinton, who portrayed "Jeff McCandles," it marked his first of only two non-singing film roles. His final dramatic role was in the 1973 Batjac production
The Train Robbers
, which also starred John Wayne.
According to a
news item, Trinidad Villa, the son of early twentieth century Mexican revolutionary and bandit Francisco "Pancho" Villa, was cast in a small role, but his appearance in the released film has not been confirmed. Modern sources add Jerry Summers to the cast, include Chuck Hayward and Buddy Van Horn as stunt men and credit 'Chema' Hernandez as the film's the livestock coordinator and Dan Wallin as the music mixer.
Big Jake
marked the final of five films in which O'Hara and Wayne appeared together, and the tenth and final collaboration between Wayne and George Sherman, who had directed several of the actor's "Three Mesquiteers" Westerns for Republic Studios in the late 1930s.
Big Jake
also marked Sherman's final feature film as a director.

My friends over at Stansberry research have an interesting theory about whether or not President Barack Obama will seek a third term for the Presidency.
Only one US President has ever served a third term and that was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. That didn't stop other Presidents from trying however. Ulysses Grant sought a third term but lost as well as Grover Cleveland. Woodrow Wilson also attempted it, even viciously blocking the nomination of his son-in-law at the convention to try for a third term. Because of these actions and the American peoples fear of a monarchy emerging, the Twenty-Second amendment was adopted. The amendment passed in 1947 and limited the time a president may serve to two terms. No more would there be a threat of a President turning into a King.
But that's not what Porter Stansberry thinks

PokerStars Q&A: Hello FTP, Goodbye Viktor Blom (For Now)
It seems that nothing can bring industry giant PokerStars down these days.
The "World's Biggest Online Poker Room" just ran another edition of its hugely successful WCOOP, the European Poker Tour is in full swing and this week the company even acquired a stake in London's Hippodrome Casino meaning there could potentially be a live PokerStars poker room in the future.
This November marks a dramatic shift for PokerStars, however.
The company's biggest competitor – Full Tilt Poker – will return, under very different circumstances than when the lights went out in 2011.
For the first time ever, PokerStars will be competing with itself, thanks to parent company Rational Enterprises reaching a deal to acquire FTP earlier this year.
Eric Hollreiser, Head of Corporate Communications for PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker took the time to answer a number of questions about what the future holds for PokerStars.
PokerListings.com: What's changed at the PokerStars office since the Full Tilt acquisition and the settlement with the U.S. DOJ?
Eric Hollreiser: Our offices are as busy as ever. Obviously we were all very excited and proud when the settlement was completed.
PL.com: How long was that deal in the works?
I can't get into any specifics, but suffice to say that this was a very complex, perhaps unprecedented event. As such, it didn't happen over-night.
PL.com: When Full Tilt Poker launches on Nov. 6, won't PokerStars essentially be competing against itself?
There's obviously plenty of room for competition in online poker. We know that many players enjoy playing on more than one site. We believe that offering a choice of high-quality, trusted brands promoting poker and innovating on the game will help to grow the overall poker market. Having a multi-brand portfolio is common in many industries from automakers to restaurants to media companies to gaming.
PL.com: It seemed very important to the company that PokerStars did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. Can you talk a little bit about why that was such a big deal to PokerStars?
PokerStars has always acted responsibly and within the law and we've made decisions based upon the legal advice we have been receiving. So naturally it was important for us that we did not admit to any wrongdoing.
We chose to settle because wanted to get this behind us, move on and focus on expanding our business without constraint and without distraction. The alternative was to engage in multi-year litigation which we felt was not the best option.
PL.com: The corporate blog is an interesting idea for an online poker site. How much are you allowed to share on it?
As much as I can get time to update it. The corporate blog is a good platform for us to share news, information and perspectives in an immediate way and the industry has been very appreciative of our openness. It's still evolving and finding the appropriate voice and subject matter.
PL.com: Viktor Blom's departure from PokerStars seemed sudden. Would the company ever have him on the team again?
Viktor is a great guy and an exciting player. I'm sure our paths will continue to cross in the future, so who knows?
PL.com: There has been speculation the U.S. government will just reimburse U.S. FTP players' original deposit, not winnings. Can PokerStars comment on this at all?
I really do not have any visibility into the remission process being conducted by the U.S. Government.

What games are you playing now?

February 2nd, 2009, 01:13
Oof, Civ IV ate my soul, or something. It's nasty.
I've played a few games now; got past Warlord level, jumped to Prince level, got my ass royally handed to me a few times, so I notched it back down to Noble level. Meticulously destroyed the Egyptians, the Incas, the Romans, and the Mongols; was twice as strong as the next guy and repositioning my forces to attack the Spaniards when they attacked first. By the time I had gotten my counterattack rolling, America won a space victory. Meh.
IOW, it's pretty good, although not quite as good as I had hoped. Specifically:
(1) There's not much differentiation between cultures. Tech trees are mostly the same; there's not much more than one path to each critical tech level. It makes some slight difference in the early game, and not at all in the late one. They could've made it more interesting with a more tangled tech tree.
(2) Artillery is badly done. It should work like air units -- you don't attack and retreat with artillery, you call in strikes (and get destroyed if someone attacks you when you have nobody protecting you). As it is, it's basically disposable; useful in big stacks to wear down cities, and that's about it.
(3) The AI is… not bad, but still a bit weird. For example, what's with its mania of slapping down settlements around the edges of my civilization, when there's no way they can thrive there if I don't let them? They're not all that big on territorial contiguity or strategic borders either. I don't get it.
(4) There's not as much depth to it as I had hoped. The tech trees in Total War, for example, are much deeper, and of course there's way, way more unit variety. (OTOH the Total War strategic AI is on par with George W. Bush, but still.)
Overall, I'm very much hooked, but I can't say I enjoy it quite as much as Total War at its best. I really wish there was some way to combine the two -- the strategic AI and flexible city positioning and borders from Civ, the unit variety, depth of tech trees, and of course great real-time battles from TW.

look up am getting NameNotFoundException
QueueConnectionFactory qconFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory)ic.lookup(QueueConnectionFactory.class.getName());
QueueConnectionFactory qconFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory)ic.lookup("javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory");
Both ways I have looked up,am getting NameNotFoundException
exception.Also I have looked in the weblogic console.Only
javax.transaction.UserTransaction is associated in the Naming
folder.There is no javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory association.
Thanks in advance.

You must describe your factory in weblogic.properties.

From the WL5.1 docs:
ConnectionFactories allow JMS clients to create JMS connections. They are configurable so that they create connections with predefined attributes. The JMS specification classifies ConnectionFactories, Queues, and Topics as "administered" objects. They are configured by the messaging system administrator and added to the JNDI namespace to allow access to JMS clients.
To define a WebLogic JMS ConnectionFactory, add a weblogic.jms.connectionFactoryName property:

Something with my DHs wedding ring has been bothering me. ETA
We have been married 16 years. Well, anyway - 3 months after we got married he came and told me he lost his ring at work. I had him go to work a scour the whole building for that ring. Then when he came home without the ring I told him to go buy a plain band and he did. Thing is...I found his original ring in the bathroom the other day. Mind you we have moved to a couple of different houses so he couldnt have just lost it in the bathroom. I havent brought it up to him yet. I plan on doing it tonight. Hi Ladies. I asked DH about it. I wasnt accusing to him or anything. He went off saying I bought a replacement after he lost that one which wasnt true because our original rings were too expensive for me to just buy a replacement. Then he said i was just trying to start an argument - which I wasnt I was just asking. Then he said i dont f**king care about that ring - I wear a ring dont I! So, I left it at that.

Seriously though, I've had things that went missing YEARS ago, suddenly reappear in the oddest places.
It's one of life's great mysteries.

Well that is odd. Maybe he has a good excuse though. Do not jump to any conclusions until you talk to him and see what he has to say. Maybe he just recently found it like in a jacket pocket or something like that, that he has had for years.

He picked it out. He wears a stainless steel band now, never takes it off. But he picked our original bands.
Quoting Anonymous:
Do you think he doesn't like it? Or what?

Firefighters: Carbon monoxide alarm saves Peoria family
PEORIA, Ariz. (KSAZ) - Firefighters say a carbon monoxide alarm saved the lives of a family in Peoria on Thursday night.
The Peoria Fire Department says a crew responded to a home near 87th Avenue and Cactus just after 10 p.m., when a family's carbon monoxide alarm was sounding.
Firefighters at the scene found high concentrations of carbon monoxide at the home and paramedics discovered that two children in the home were transported to a hospital in serious condition with high concentrations of carbon monoxide.
A work vehicle with a generator was parked in the driveway and the generator had been running throughout the day. While it was running, carbon monoxide vented into the garage and when the garage door was closed, the carbon monoxide became trapped inside the garage and vented into the home.
The children's bedrooms are above the garage, but fortunately, a carbon monoxide alarm installed in the home sounded and saved the lives of the family.
The two children are now in stable condition.
The Peoria Fire Department wants to remind everyone of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning:
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is produced by the burning of fossil fuels. Without the proper equipment there is no way to detect its presence. CO is produced by cars, generators, engines, home heating appliances and any other device that burns fossil fuels.
Signs of CO poisoning include dizziness, nausea, headache, weakness, confusion and flu-like symptoms. A sudden onset of these symptoms may be a sign of CO poisoning. A sleeping person may not be aware of these symptoms and may succumb without waking up. CO poisoning can be fatal.
The Peoria Fire-Medical Department recommends that homes have at least one CO alarm on each level of a house. Test your CO alarms regularly and replace the batteries yearly, just like your smoke alarms.
If you are feeling these symptoms and think you have been exposed to CO, get to fresh air, turn off any fuel burning appliances and dial 911.
