This event is all ages
Kode9 vibrates parts other DJs can only dream of. His DJ sets and radio shows helped spread the early dubstep sound internationally, his sets now draw from a much wider, bass heavy spectrum.
Originally from Glasgow, but based in South London since 2000, Kode9 set up the record label Hyperdub in 2004, infamous for unleashing artists such as Burial (and countless others) on the world. He has recorded 2 albums of his own with vocalist Spaceape; Memories of Future (2006) and Black Sun (2010) and released 3 DJ mix compilation, Dubstep Allstars vol.3 (Tempa 2006), DJ Kicks (K7 2011) and Rinse 22 (2013). Kode9 has also released tracks on Aphex Twin's Rephlex label, and remixed for Lee Scratch Perry for On U Sound, the Junior Boys for Domino, Battles for Warp, and Dabrye Feat. Doom for Ghostly. In 2013, Kode9 the singles 'Uh' on Rinse, and 'Xingfu Lu' on Hyperdub
For 5years, he hosted the weekly Fwd show on Rinse FM, London's leading pirate radio station, and was one of the rotating DJs at DMZ, and Fwd, the seminal early dubstep nights in London. He now co-hosts the Hyperdub monthly show on Rinse FM with Scratcha DVA.
Kode9 has performed at Sonar Festival, Sonar Tokyo, Mutek, Glastonbury, Decibel, Unsound, Melt and Coachella as well are gracing clubs nights across Europe, Asia, North and South America, Australia & New Zealand and South Africa with his unique selection skills.
Ikonika is one of the outstanding producers of her generation. Her 2008 debut 'Please' (Hyperdub), announced a forward thinking, highly melodic, twisted take on UK underground dance music. After further singles for Planet Mu and Hyperdub, she went on to release one of the best albums of 2010 'Contact, Love, Want, Have', receiving glowing reviews from The Guardian, BBC, NME, FACT, Resident Advisor, Pitchfork among many more. Her remix projects have included Interpol, Caribou, Cubic Zirconia and DJ Mujava.
Equally accomplished is Ikonika the DJ. Her technical proficiency has taken her to bookings at clubs and festivals all across the world. Her live and studio sets journey from classic House and Techno, to RnB bangers, to the freshest sounds of the underground. Her talent was recognized by DJ Mag with nominations for 'Best Breakthrough DJ' of 2009 and 'Best DJ' of 2010, in their 'Best Of British' awards.
Ikonika's latest full-length on Hyperdub Aerotropolis (2013) is a testament to her versatility as a producer and composer.
Ikonika also runs the label Hum + Buzz with Optimum (Night Slugs/Planet Mu). As well as releasing singles from the owners, it focuses on introducing bright new talent.
Starting out at the early age of 14, DJ Spinn had his mind set on future musical goals Growing up, writing, djing, dancing, and producing, DJ Spinn made sure to stay on top of his game. In 1997, while dancing with Chicago's infamous "House-O-Matics", DJ Spinn gained a honorable rep djing for one of Chicago's number one dance groups. In the same year, he headlined DJ gigs at the biggest teen parties in Chicago including those at Club Cavilini's in Harvey, Dolton Expo, Markham Roller Rink, and The Rink on 87th, not to mention numerous house parties and school events.
By 1998, DJ Spinn had a following that loved the style of house tracks he and long time buddy DJ Rashad were creating. Their notoriety led to the opportunity to drop one of his house tracks, Bout It Bout It Mix,on vinyl—aka a 12″ record—with Ray Barney's Dance Mania Records. A year later, the legendary DJ Chip and DJ Thadz album, Bang Ski, which included the track Bang Bang Bang Skeet Skeet Skeet, also featured DJ Spinn's Chicken Headz and DJ Rashad's Child Abuse. As they gained more DJ and production credits, it was only a matter of time before DJ Spinn & DJ Rashad got their chance to grace Chicago's world famous dance music distributor, Dancemania. But in early 2000 "Dance Mania Records" had stopped its 20 year musical legacy which was responsible for the legendary careers of Traxman, DJ Funk, Jammin Gerald, Paul Johnson, DJ Deeon, DJ Milton, DJ Slugo, DJ Nephets, and DJ PJ, to name a few. Nevertheless, DJ Spinn knew his success would not be hampered by the fall of any label.
Since 2000, DJ Spinn has released numerous albums, remixes, and sets which have changed the way people thought about House music. Whether it be DJ'ing at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, or creating the No. 1 selling Juke track of all time, "Bounce N Break Yo Back," DJ Spinn has become the figurehead of the local movement that is taking the world by storm. With upcoming projects with MIA, Bok Bok, Headhunter, Big Dope P, Basutbudet, and Ghetto Division, DJ Spinn is setting the foundation that will make himself an integral part of the international music scene.

Father Spitzers Genius
Former Catholic University President Diversifies Skills
BY Anthony Flott
December 6-12, 2009 Issue | Posted 11/27/09 at 11:09 AM
IRVINE, Calif. — There are those who wonder if Jesuit Father Robert Spitzer is biting off more than he can chew.
Not Timothy Busch, president emeritus of the Magis Institute of Faith and Reason, a sort of spiritual think tank Father Spitzer founded in Irvine, Calif.
"He can chew a lot," Busch said.
Indeed. During Father Spitzer's tenure at Gonzaga University, enrollment jumped from 4,507 to 7,300 students, annual gifts received nearly tripled to $15.4 million, 18 buildings were constructed, liturgies and retreat programs tripled, and student community service exceeded 100,000 hours annually. He also wrote extensively, was chaplain of Legatus, spoke 300 times a year and hosted an EWTN series.
"He works seven days a week, 16 hours a day," said Busch. "He is a genius. He thinks bigger than most people and gets the end answer before anyone can catch up."
Father Spitzer retired as Gonzaga president in July, but the 57-year-old priest is anything but idle. He is transitioning from higher education to education of the masses, trying to change the culture in boardrooms, classrooms and anywhere else he can find a place for God.
With Magis, he is striving to build a stronger intellectual foundation for the faith life of high school and college students facing "pop-culture atheism." With the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Spitzer Center for Ethical Leadership, he aims to change the way ethics and leadership are instilled in secular and faith-based organizations.
The two institutes are independent but will share staff, technology, Web-based curricula — and Father Spitzer. Fortunately, he said, he has assistance.
"God's helping me out a whole lot," Father Spitzer said.
More With Magis
At Magis, one of the chief aims is to convince young people there even is a God. To do so, they're not starting with theology.
Busch said youth want science to prove that God exists.
"The believers of the past trusted in faith," said Busch. "Students today want reason to explain their faith."
Too often, though, science is used to argue against God as what Father Spitzer calls "pop-culture atheism."
It's a charge, he said, being led by atheists such as Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins.
Young people hear their science-oriented arguments and, believing that science and faith are irreconcilable with each other, start to have "really terrible doubts."
Magis aims to fight fire with fire on different fronts, beginning with science.
The institute is developing five Web-based curricula on faith and reason: astrophysical and contemporary philosophical responses to atheism; historical evidence of Jesus; suffering and the love of God; and moving from materialism to transcendent purpose in life.
The curricula are inspired by three of Father Spitzer's soon-to-be published books.
"Catechesis is really, really important," Father Spitzer said. "But … if kids do not have a strong sense of the existential presence of God and the historicity of Jesus, if they don't have a strong, solid grounding of the faith, catechesis is just a turgid, abstract process. Whereas if they have a strong sense of the presence and reality of God, then catechesis, they'll just thirst for it. They'll wolf it down."
Professional presentation also is key.
Pop-culture atheists — "darlings of the media," said Father Spitzer — get premium media and bookstore placement and produce slick multimedia presentations that spread virally across the Internet.
Magis will use professional Catholic Hollywood writers and directors to produce four documentaries to deliver its curricula to seminaries, Newman Centers, university campus ministries, high schools and adult education programs.
Busch said Magis has discussed distribution through the Knights of Columbus, Fellowship of Catholic University Students, Newman Centers and others.
The first DVD could be available within eight months, provided first to seminarians.
Content will incorporate video, visual effects and interactivity.
"It is way ahead," said Busch. "It has extraordinary content, and we are modeling it with great graphics."
The first DVD will be an hour-long documentary that includes interviews with 12 of the world's top astrophysicists who, Father Spitzer said, will talk about "a Creator being pointed to by contemporary astrophysics, not vice versa."
"In other words," he said, "science is not pointing away from faith; science is running full blast toward faith."
Links will connect to extended video with each scientist, various supporting materials, YouTube clips, Facebook pages and more. Much of it will be available for free via the Internet.
"Catechesis will take off like a rocket ship because they will be hungry to know everything about God," Father Spitzer said.
Spitzer Center
The Spitzer Center, established in 2006, envisions becoming "the world's premier source for ethics and leadership education." Clients range from Boeing to Jack in the Box.
Unlike other ethics programs, which Father Spitzer said focus on compliance and "10 major commandments" of organizational ethics, the Spitzer Center instead focuses on three things:
Personal transformation to overcome the four core reasons for ethical problems: fear, hubris, greed and people-pleasing.
"We offer solutions of alternative identities, namely contributive identity, instead of an ego-comparative identity," Father Spitzer said. "In religious terms, you might call it a conversion."
Culture transformation from passive/aggressive or defensive modes to constructive modes that are more "ethically able," creative and profitable. "If the culture is with you, it's so much easier to make the right ethical choices," Father Spitzer said.
Making right judgments. "Reflection is very much discounted in this culture," Father Spitzer said. "We tend to overvalue administrivia, getting all these little things done, and we undervalue contemplation, reflection, thinking about the big issues, thinking about who I am, thinking about what my allies are thinking about."
All of which should lead to "noble" visions and missions that engage the "contributive spirits" in people.
"It makes their own contributive agenda, their own contributive spirit come alive, and people like doing things that are essentially positive," Father Spitzer said. "There's only so long you can get a high from beating the competition. But you can really get a high continuously from making a difference to whatever it is."
Leveling Out
The Spitzer Center curriculum is based on a model Father Spitzer calls the "Four Levels of Happiness," reflecting the Aristotelian idea that happiness is the one goal people pursue as an end in itself. Happiness can be sought on levels moving from pleasure, to status, to contribution and service, to the ultimate good that comes from encountering God.
He didn't discover the levels, said Spitzer Center's executive director, Jim Berlucchi. "You see them throughout history. You see it in Aquinas, see it in Augustine, in a variety of different psychological and philosophical models," Berlucchi said. "But he's the one who dubs them the 'Four Levels of Happiness' and the one who brought about a kind of analysis and description that is extremely helpful for people who would otherwise kind of dismiss the subject as maybe being superficial."
The lower levels should serve the higher levels, said Father Spitzer.
But when the lower levels become the dominant focus for a person or organization, they're debilitating.
It's why some organizations have oppressive, politicized cultures while others are creative and contributive.
Father Spitzer, Berlucchi said, operates at the top levels. "His leadership style, that's Level 3, leaving a legacy and calling people on to the greater goal of making an optimal, positive difference with his life, a phrase he uses," Berlucchi said. "Level 4 is really giving one's whole self to God. Father Spitzer is consummately a man of faith and a priest and a Jesuit. His whole life is predominantly centered around his call as a Catholic priest, and the Mass is really the center and focal point of his every day. The fulfillment of his priestly ministry is really the thing that most drives him, and he literally feels part of the communion of saints. That gives him a great charge."
The Spitzer Center hopes during the next three years to train 25,000 organizational leaders and administrators as well as 10,000 clergymen, seminarians and lay leaders, while building working relationships with 25 dioceses.
That already includes the Diocese of Phoenix, which is completing the center's "Journey to Excellence" program.
So is all of it too big of a bite — even for Father Spitzer?
"There isn't a request or proposal that Father [Spitzer] doesn't like," Berlucchi said. "He's very generous. Maybe generous to a fault. That can be a bit of a worry that he's got to prioritize, and we work with him to help sort through what he can and can't do, but I think he's getting much better at that.
"He's a slacker if he works 60 hours. He's a tireless worker, and he works very quickly. In terms of his writing, a lot of it he dictates. He has a prodigious memory. He's one of those who walks the talk. He's a very good talker; he's an even better walker."
And that's saying a mouthful.

from Papillion, Nebraska.
A Man in Black Helps Companies Get Back on Track
Can a man in black help a company get into the black?
Yes, said the Spitzer Center's executive director, Jim Berlucchi, who points to the center's work with Caterpillar to help it overcome "tensions internal to its workforce."
"It brought about some very good changes in the management of the organization in terms of being more servant-leaders, being more emphatic with their employees, being better communicators in terms of the vision of the organization and trying to live out that Level 3 set of commitments," Berlucchi said.
Employees were more cooperative, peace came, and "they enjoyed significantly more productivity in the organization."
So how do secular organizations react to the collar?
"Usually, we raise it in advance," said Berlucchi, who notes that lay staff with the Spitzer Center also work with clients. "For the most part, because of Father Spitzer's credentials and because of the very respectful way in which he works in a secular environment, they receive him very well.
"Now, initially the collar … could for some people be an issue, but they very quickly get over that. He's a Ph.D.; he's a philosopher. He has been a president of a university, and he's worked with Tony Blair's Cabinet. He's worked with secular leaders in big organizations like Costco and Toyota, Caterpillar, so he has a track record that is very, very respectable, very credible."
Don Western, a retired vice president with Caterpillar, understands the apprehension. He brought Father Spitzer to work with a few Caterpillar divisions and its plants in 2003.
"There was some fear from my boss, but he trusted me," said Western, a Catholic who attends St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Peoria, Ill. "I was a little concerned how people might view this, but it melted away when they were exposed to it. They could see the value themselves, and from there it sold itself. People started asking when they were to be scheduled for the material."
Senior leaders used Father Spitzer's materials up to 2008. Their spouses took part, too. Western said the curriculum reinforced Caterpillar's values of mutual respect, trust and teamwork.
"Father Bob has a unique way of touching your heart, and he did that even on DVDs that helped us underscore the message and the desired behaviors," Western said. "The Christian message is getting lost in this world today, and it shows in the way companies are behaving. Father Bob's curriculum brings back what truly makes us Americans great: living our faith. So it was quite different, like nothing ever done before. It was continued by succeeding managers that were not so much grounded in faith, but more because they could see that it worked. It was tremendously effective."

I have been using a d40x for just under three years now. I've decided to start saving money in order to invest in new/better equipment. With the talks of the d90 replacement, I have found my self puzzled on whether I should upgrade my body or my glass. I wouldn't call my self a professional by any means, but I am a serious amateur, who has on occasion sold prints (~$50/ photo), as well as taken portraits on commission (generally by friend's parents who don't want to pay absurd prices for "professional" senior portraits etc. for ~$75 for a session (includes CD of favorite photos for unlimited prints)).
Examples of my work can be seen on my website; {Link Removed}. Mind you, this is a new website currently under construction and does not reflect my full range of photography. Some of this work also includes some older photography from a Fujifilm S5200(point and shoot), specifically the photos in the Guatemala and Misc Travel galleries.
I have recently upgraded my kit lenses (older versions of the 18-55 and 55-200, ie. non-vr) to the Tamron 18-270 and Nikon 35mm f1.8. (most of the photography on my site was not shot with these new lenses, but the older ones)
My question to you is this; based on my work (from my website) as well as my status as a photographer (primarily a hobbyist who has on occasion made money off photography), do you think I would be better benefited from new glass or saving for a better body (would probably end up going with d90 replacement)?
Other things to consider:
Recently, much of my photography has been cave photography (see examples on site), and with the limited low-light capability of the d40x, I could benefit from higher low-light capabilities.
Now I know this is a question that is much debated and many other posts have asked the same question, but I am asking specifically based off my work/ status, what is your opinion?
Thanks in advance,

Royal Australian Navy Helps 'Take a Load Off'
Navy NewsStand
Story Number: NNS090717-05
Release Date: 7/17/2009 12:37:00 AM
Special to Pacific Partnership Public Affairs from Australian Defence Force
NUKU ALOFA, Tonga (NNS) -- HMA ships Betano and Wewak from Australia have joined Pacific Partnership 2009, a humanitarian civic assistance mission that enables the delivery of vital medical, dental, engineering and veterinary aid to Tonga and the Solomon Islands July 13-August 23.
Capable of moving large amounts of cargo, personnel and equipment from USNS Richard E. Byrd (T-AKE 4) to key shore locations, the Australian ships are essential to the success of the mission.
The landing craft heavy team arrived in Tonga after spending more than a month at sea, traveling 4,500 nautical miles.
"We're looking forward to participating in Pacific Partnership, to making a difference to so many people's lives," said Commanding Officer of HMAS Betano, Lt. Cam Hooper.
Pacific Partnership 2009 Mission Commander Capt. Andrew Cully is also glad to have the landing craft on the mission.
"These guys traveled a long way in some tough conditions to get here. They are real Sailors. They are integral to the mission and a very capable crew," said Cully.
HMAS Betano will transport a multinational team of health professionals and medical supplies to the more remote islands of Tonga, which have populations ranging from 500 to 1,000 people.
"It would be difficult for these people ordinarily access this level of specialist medical treatment," said Hooper. BETANO will deliver primary care providers, a pediatrician, an optometrist and a dentist into the isolated villages.
HMAS Wewak will work with the anchored Byrd in the Ha'apai Island group providing daily ship to shore logistics. The crew will also help ashore at a construction site and visit local school children.
Both landing craft heavy have an Australian crew of 20 personnel on board including Royal Australian Air Force Cooks.
The Australian Defence Force is providing specialist support to Pacific Partnership, a U.S.-sponsored training and readiness mission which works through, with and by a diverse range of militaries, governments and non-governmental organizations to develop foreign interoperability in delivering effective humanitarian and disaster relief aid in the Pacific.

Like just about anyone who has watched the Dallas Cowboys this preseason, head coach Jason Garrett has been highly impressed by sixth round pick DeVonte Holloman.
The linebacker out of South Carolina has made a habit of making big plays through the team's first four exhibitions games. He had an interception returned for a touchdown in the Hall of Fame game, and a diving interception at the goal line against the Cardinals in Arizona.
In the victory over the Bengals on Saturday, all Holloman did was record a sack and lead the team in tackles with five.
"He seemed to be around the ball on a consistent basis, making tackles even though he didn't return anything for a touchdown," Garrett said, per ESPN Dallas. "He just seems to be playing better and better."

My copy of Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary was published in 1961. I suppose having the word "new" in the title of a book that has been around almost 50 years is a bit misleading. But that well-used dictionary is still a good source for definitions of words. For instance, the word "mouth." Mouth is defined as "The opening through which an animal receives food; also, the cavity containing the tongue and teeth (when present) or the structures enclosing this cavity."
Of course, the word mouth is not always associated with animals. Jars, caves and rivers also have mouths. But to most of us, the mouth is that structure that our dentists call the oral cavity. It is the structure that we utilize for eating and talking and, on occasion, chewing gum or gasping for breath.
Mouths are not just human attributes. All animals including pigs, dogs, cows, birds, cats, snakes, fish and insects possess mouths. In general most animal mouths are similar: a box-like cavity with upper and lower jaws, more or less adorned with teeth. Such a mouth can be described as a biting, chewing type.
Chewing mouths of insects have two pair of mandible-like structures. The term mandible is used for one set; the other set are called maxillae. The maxillae are adorned with appendage-like structures called palps. But unlike mammal mandibles that function with an up-and-down motion, insect mandibles move from side to side.
This basic biting, chewing-type mouth is found in many kinds of insects. In fact, the most ancient of insects, including cockroaches and dragonflies, possess mouths of this type. Chewing mouths are also found in grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, beetles and praying mantids. In these insects both the adult and immature forms possess mouths of the biting, chewing kind.
Some types of insects have chewing-type mouths in the immature stage but another form of mouth as adults. For example, the familiar butterflies and moths have coiled, soda-straw-like mouths that are adapted for siphoning liquids. In the immature stage these scale-winged insects are known as caterpillars. Caterpillars have chewing mouths that they use to feed on plant tissue in such an efficient manner that some people dub caterpillars eating machines.
Some insects, such as honey bees, have mouths that include mandibles but also possess additional structures adapted for use in sucking up liquids. As a result honey bees can chew stuff such as wax but can also sip nectar from flowers or water from a stream. This type of insect mouth has been called a chewing-sucking mouth.
Insects that feed on liquids don't need to chew their food and, therefore, lack mandibles. Some common liquid-feeding insects are what are called the true bugs, such as boxelder bugs and stink bugs. Cicadas, leaf hoppers and plant hoppers also feed on liquid material, in this case plant sap. In order to access their liquid food these insects need to pierce plant tissue so their mouths are very much like hollow needles. These insect mouths are known as piercing-sucking mouths.
Mosquitoes also have what could be called a piercing-sucking mouth. In this case the mosquito pierces the skin of a victim and then sucks up blood. Not all mosquitoes, just female mosquitoes! Male mosquitoes don't feed on blood so their mouths are not adapted for blood sucking like the females of their kind.
The common house fly also feeds on liquids but has mouthparts described as of the sponging type. In this case the mouth is a tube to which is attached a sponge-like pad. The insect daubs the sponge onto surfaces of food items. If the food is liquid it is sopped up by the sponge and sucked into the insect. If the food is solid the old house fly just regurgitates some digestive juices in order to liquefy the food before sponging it up.
In the animal world chewing mouths seem to be the rule of thumb. Even in insects mouths adapted for chewing are common. But in the world of insect mouths there are also siphoning butterflies, chewing-lapping honey bees, piercing-sucking mosquitoes, and sponging house flies. Makes your jaw drop just to think about it, doesn't it?

Lodge Farm is approached from Bowl Road over a tarmacadam drive with a central grass island which leads up to the house. A separate concrete drive leads to the main outbuilding. Attractive gardens surround the house with an area of productive apple orchard on the north-east side, with a greenhouse and mower store nearby. There are further gardens on the south side. Timber chalet style summerhouse with verandah. An arbour leads through a gap in the fence to a closely mown paddock which dramatically drops away down the upper slope of the Downs.
The present owners have planning permission to run a business from the premises. There are some excellent outbuildings currently used
for the business and it is considered likely that a new owner may be able to run a similar style of business subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Alternatively these buildings will readily convert into useful outbuildings or stabling.
The buildings include 2 substantial block built and timber clad workshops (both 35 x 20approx) on the west side of the house; on
the east side is a large block and rendered (70 x 20 approx) with pitched roof and windows together with a double garage with a pitched roof and some other smaller outbuildings.
A drive leads down the east side of the property past the outbuildings to a rear courtyard and also gives access around the
rear of the house to the two more western buildings.

At year end, we traditionally ask readers to tell us which of the year's events they consider the top story. For 2010, we asked readers and viewers of both the Deseret News and KSL to rank a series of stories, selecting the 10 they considered the most important. The poll was conducted on both DeseretNews.com and KSL.com. This is the year as they saw it. (Note that the poll was taken prior to the Provo Tabernacle fire, which is why it did not make the list.) For a look at which stories gained the most attention on deseretnews.com this year, check out this list.
A 60-year-old Chevron pipeline ruptured in June, leaking 800 barrels of oil into Red Butte Creek and the pond at Liberty Park.
Chevron paid a $423,000 fine in conjunction with that leak, believed to have been caused by an electrical arc from a nearby power pole that punched a hole in the pipeline. A second but smaller leak occurred on the same pipeline in December, when a failed valve allowed up to 500 barrels to spill out.
During an escape attempt at a Salt Lake courthouse April 2, 1985, Gardner killed attorney Michael Burdell and seriously wounded bailiff Nick Kirk. Sentenced to die, he was on death row for more than two decades before being executed this summer. Given a choice of execution methods, he selected the firing squad.
Sun Cha Warhola was charged with two counts of aggravated murder after her children, Jean, 7, and James, 8, were found strangled in their Layton home in September.
Two rogue employees in the Utah Department of Workforce Services accessed state databases and gathered personal information including addresses, health data, birthdates, Social Security numbers and more on 1,300 people they claimed were in the United States illegally. Then they sent the list to local media and law enforcement, asking that those listed be deported and signing it "Concerned Citizens of the United States."
An internal state probe identified the workers, who were fired.
Brigham Young University and the University of Utah both left the Mountain West Conference. In June, the University of Utah announced that it is joining the PAC-10. In September, the BYU Athletic Department unveiled its plans to go independent in football and join the West Coast Conference in all other sports.
Sisters Rebecca and Rachel Toone, 4 years and 15 months respectively, died after a pest control tech used a powerful pesticide to kill voles in the yard of their Layton home. Officials say the pesticide was improperly applied. The tech, Cole Nocks, has pled not-guilty to misdemeanor criminal charges.
Two deputies, Josie Greathouse Fox and Brian Harris, were shot and killed, while a park ranger, Brody Young, was critically injured this year.
Fox, a Millard County sheriff's deputy, was gunned down during a traffic stop in January. Roberto Miramontes Roman faces capital murder charges in her death. Ruben Chavez Reyes was found guilty of obstruction of justice in connection with her death.
Harris, a Kane County sheriff's deputy, was chasing a burglary suspect when he was shot and killed just over the Utah-Arizona border. Scott Curley faces first-degree murder charges in Arizona.
Young was shot multiple times while patrolling south of Moab near the Poison Spider Mesa Trail in November. Police think he injured his assailant, thought to be Lance Leeroy Arrellano. Arrellano, they say, escaped into the Red Rock desert country and has never been found, fueling speculation that his wounds proved fatal.
An afternoon machine gun training exercise by the Utah National Guard at Camp Williams went awry Sept. 19, sparking a fire the Guardsmen couldn't control. It went over a hill into a residential area.
The Herriman fire ultimately consumed more than 4,300 acres and destroyed three homes in the neighborhood north of the camp, forcing evacuation of hundreds of Herriman residents.
The body of 4-year-old Ethan Stacy was found in a remote area near Powder Mountain in May, hours after his mother and stepfather said he'd wandered away during the night from their Layton apartment. The two, Stephanie and Nathan Sloop, have been charged with killing the boy, who was visiting for the summer from Virginia.
Mitchell was found guilty in federal court of charges he kidnapped and sexually assaulted Elizabeth Smart, eight years after he took the 14-year-old from her home at knifepoint.
"I hope that not only is this an example that justice can be served in America, but that it is possible to move on after something terrible has happened, and that we can speak out and we will be heard," a beaming Smart, 23, said shortly after the jury convicted him.

Why Jewish families choose other faith schools
Many families are sending their children to Christian faith schools rather than local comprehensives.
They see them as offering better education, achieving better results, and having a stronger religious ethos than secular alternatives.
It was revealed this week that Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who is Jewish but atheist, is to send his eldest child to a top Church of England primary.
He is not alone. Jewish parents often point to the fact that two-thirds of 329 primary schools with "perfect" SATs results last year, were Anglican, Catholic or Jewish schools.
Academic results were a key consideration for David and Alison Zucker, of Marton-cum-Grafton, near Leeds. They had three children at St Aidan's Church of England school in Harrogate. Eldest Adam, 22, attended St Aidan's, a secondary school, for the first year in which they accepted other faiths. Labelled "outstanding" by Ofsted, it is a popular with Jewish families.
David, a former member of Sinai Synagogue council in Leeds, said: "St Aidan's has fantastic results and we were bowled over how polite the children were. So we offered to prove our commitment to religion to them by showing we were observant Jews, but actually we were already attending shul regularly, so we didn't have to change our lifestyle.
"By teaching our children about Judaism at home, but then educating them within a dominant culture at school, we taught them how to respect both. You just don't get that at a Jewish school.
"Our only worry was our own children not being accepted by their peers into a school which is massively oversubscribed with practising Christians. But I found children at a faith school are much more respectful of other faiths."
St Aidan's head, Dennis Richards OBE, said: "Our emphasis is on religious education, not preaching a doctrine. We want to send our pupils to thrive in the great cities of the land, to be religiously literate, sensitive and aware. To have children of other faiths in the school is an enormous privilege. They have taught us so much."
Anna Betz from Wanstead, east London, sent two of her five children to Christian schools. Daughter Heidi, 17, boards at Wells Cathedral School, a specialist music school near Bath.
Anna said: "I wanted Heidi to attend King Solomon in Barkingside, but they weren't happy with my conversion. That was upsetting. We had been living abroad and had been observant. I wanted her to feel part of a community at home, at a Jewish school. When that didn't happen, she started auditioning for music schools.
"C of E schools understand how to co-operate with people who aren't of their faith. I don't think any of my children feel any less Jewish at all."
Anne Wollenberg, 29, turned down the oppertunity to apply to Carmel College in favour of attending Oxford High School, and later her local CofE state school in Oxford, having attended a Cof E primary school. She said: "I didn't think I'd have the same opportunities, as a woman, at Carmel.
"I've always been brought up knowing about Judaism and other religions, and it was strange that many children at my primary school didn't. They thought it meant I was from another country. And I got into a huge argument with my teacher about the meaning of the word 'shalom', which she had totally wrong. I used to sing hymns secretly missing out the word 'Jesus' in assembly too.
"I don't think anyone needs to worry about sending their kids to a Christian school."

If you own an iPhone or iPad, you're very familiar with Siri , Apple's personal assistant who has an answer for just about anything you ask her. For the first time Siri has come out from inside the Apple devices to reveal her true identity.
She Atlanta voice actor Susan Bennett who says she didn't know she was Siri until Apple integrated it into the iPhone two years ago. In 2005 she spent four hours a day for an entire month recording the script for Siri, a company that was bought up by Apple and later integrated into the Apple products.
To confirm her claim an audio expert compared Susan's voice with that of Siri and proclaimed 'they're identical – a 100% match'.
You can't do any better than that.
Now you can put a face to the voice and hear the story in her own words.

56 - 68 Final
Harden, Arizona State KO ArizonaMar 12, 2009 - 11:35 PM LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Arizona State extended its recent domination of Arizona on Thursday, putting the Wildcats' long NCAA tournament streak in jeopardy.
ASU coach Herb Sendek doesn't believe there should be a cause for debate.
"Admittedly biased, but I think our league is as deep and as talented and as balanced as any in the country," Sendek said after the 23rd-ranked Sun Devils beat Arizona, 68-56, in the quarterfinals of the Pac-10 tournament. "Do I believe Arizona is one of the top 65 teams in the country? I would say yes. As competitors, we have great respect for them."
Pac-10 player of the year James Harden had 27 points and eight rebounds for the fourth-seeded Sun Devils (23-8), who won for just the second time in their last five games. Ty Abbott added 11 points and Jeff Pendergraph had 10 and nine rebounds for ASU, which advanced to Friday night's semifinals.
"I think the biggest challenge for us right now will be recovery," said Sendek, who used only seven players against Arizona. ASU is playing without top reserve Jamelle McMillan, sidelined with a sore groin.
Jordan Hill had 20 points and 13 rebounds and Nic Wise scored 18 for fifth-seeded Arizona (19-13), which has appeared in 24 straight NCAA Tournaments, the longest active streak and second-longest behind the 27-year streak by North Carolina from 1975-2001.
The Wildcats, losers of five of their last six games, will find out Sunday if their NCAA Tournament streak is extended when the brackets are announced. Arizona sweated out the selections last year before drawing a 10th seed and losing to West Virginia in the first round.
"It's just out of our hands," said interim coach Russ Pennell, hired when Hall of Famer Lute Olson officially retired in October after sitting out last season on a personal leave of absence. "We'll be just like everyone else sitting there watching on Sunday. It just boils down to at the end of the day, is our body of work good enough?"
The Wildcats have beaten the likes of Kansas, Gonzaga and UCLA but went 9-9 in the Pac-10.
"Whatever happens on Sunday is whatever happens," said Wildcats star Chase Budinger, held to eight points on 3-for-15 shooting including 1-for-9 from 3-point range. "We're going to be practicing and watching film, just keep on playing the season. We're just going to try to get better as a team, forget about the past and look forward."
The win gave ASU a three-game sweep of Arizona this season and was its fifth straight over the Wildcats - the Sun Devils' longest winning streak over their in-state rival since they won nine in a row from 1979-83.
"For me, it feels great, never losing to U of A in my career so far," said Harden, a 6-foot-5 sophomore. "They had the upside for most of the years, so it just feels great and it is special to be a part of that. They are a great team and a powerhouse, and we are working to make this team a powerhouse as well."
The Wildcats dominated the Sun Devils during Olson's 24 years as their coach, going 43-6 against ASU, which had seven coaches during that time. Olson attended this game and was warmly greeted by Arizona fans. He acknowledged the applause with a wave.
Sendek is 5-2 against the Wildcats since becoming the ASU coach before the 2006-07 season.
"In the second half, we couldn't get anything to fall, and I credit Arizona State's defense for that," Pennell said. "They do a nice job defensively. Basically, I call it a bend-but-don't-break. They just don't give you anything easy, you have to earn everything you get against ASU."
ASU shot 52.1 percent to Arizona's 35.5 percent, winning handily despite being outrebounded 36-30. There were only 14 turnovers in the game - eight by the Wildcats.
Harden scored eight points during a 14-5 run to start the second half, giving the Sun Devils a 46-39 lead, and a 3-pointer by Rihards Kuksiks and a dunk by Harden made it 60-48 with 5:13 remaining. The Wildcats scored the next six points to draw within six, but ASU scored the game's final six points from the foul line.
ASU shot 7-of-9 to begin the game en route to an 18-11 lead. Abbott, averaging 6.3 points, had eight at that stage.
The Sun Devils then went cold, missing eight straight shots while being outscored 11-0 to fall behind 22-18. Neither team led by more than four points during the rest of the first half, which ended with the Wildcats on top 34-32.
Hill got off to a slow start, missing his first four shots, but the 6-foot-10 junior finished the half with 10 points and six rebounds, leading Arizona to a 17-10 advantage in that department.

text: MIAMI/SOUTH FLORIDA In honor of Pampers Diapers' 50th anniversary and Father's Day, new and expecting fathers got, well, pampered, on June 16 with a Polynesian sunset luau at the Newport Beachside Hotel and Resort in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Twenty-five local dads, chosen because of the work they do in their community, were greeted by a hula dancer, flower leis, and flip-flops, and then were ushered into the beachside event.The diaper company tapped TrèsKoi Public Relations for event production and public relations and Urban Icons Marketing for set design and audio. Decor included oversize mai tai cups filled with fruit punch and a Pampers' step-and-repeat on a sea grass carpet used as a backdrop for family photos, a photo booth with props, a live drumming circle, and sand arts and crafts. Dads also got "MAN-icures" at the Hula Hand station, courtesy of Seven Seas Spa & Salon.

- Travel and multichannel retailers saw the highest open rate lift from personalized subject lines.
- Handmade and personalized gift searches have begun their seasonal rise; until just recently such searches were more common in 2013 than they were last year.
- Personalized/homemade gift searches incorporating 'Christmas,' 'Pinterest,' and 'easy' are popular.
Email highlights and trends: What's working
One email feature that has often provided higher unique open rates is the use of the subscriber's name within the subject line. A review of promotional emails so far this holiday season has shown that emails with personalized subject lines have 26 percent higher unique open rates than non-personalized emails from the same set of brands (19.4 percent with personalization compared to 15.4 percent without). The lift from personalization, however, varies by industry. Personalized subject lines have provided the biggest boost in unique open rates for travel (unique open rates of 28.5 percent with personalization compared to 17.3 percent without).
Personalization can also have an impact on triggered mailings. Just as results from personalization varied across industries, they also varied by mailing type. While birthday mailings showed a clear boost from personalized subject lines, abandon cart emails showed no increase with subject line personalization. Perhaps this is because the subscriber has already shown their interest by coming close to purchasing the product and does not need the additional personal incentive to open the email. In addition, abandon cart emails already enjoy high average unique open rates of 35 percent, and the personalization just may not provide an extra lift.
Retail highlights
In our ongoing analysis of multichannel retailers throughout the holiday season, we found that as a percentage of total emails from brands in the study, Black Friday mentions have increased dramatically this past week and were mentioned in 11.1 percent of emails on 11/17. The chart below shows the percentage of emails with Black Friday in the email content as compared to Black Friday mentions within subject lines. Although brands aren't necessarily mentioning the upcoming event in subject lines, they are still featuring it within the creative.
Personalized gifts
Homemade or personalized gifts are a great way to ensure that your holiday presents are memorable and unique. To get a better understanding of what would-be gift givers are looking for, we conducted an analysis of the online searches including the phrases "personal or personalized gift" and "handmade or homemade gift." Up until a few weeks ago, search clicks for personalized/homemade gifts were higher in 2013 than they were in 2012, but given the fact that Thanksgiving is a week later this year, it's understandable that search clicks lag behind slightly at this point in time. The trend, however, clearly shows that searches for personalized/homemade gifts have begun their rise as we near the holiday season.
An analysis of the specific search variations in personalized/homemade gift queries provides insights into what consumers are looking for and what terms marketers and publishers might use to increase their share of clicks. The first thing we notice is the prevalence of the word "Christmas" in searches. While Americans celebrate a variety of cultural and religious holidays this time of year, most consumers are clearly looking for gifts to give at Christmas.
The second thing we notice is that searches including the word "Pinterest" are up. In fact, search clicks for the number four ranked search term "Pinterest handmade gifts" is generating 49 percent more search clicks this year than last. Meantime, the same search minus the word "Pinterest" is generating 37 percent fewer search clicks this year.
Next, while we included the terms "homemade" and "handmade" in our search portfolio, variations using "homemade" clearly exceed those using "handmade." Likewise, searches including "personalized" receive a greater share of search clicks than those including "personal."
Finally, while consumers want to give gifts that are personal and memorable, they still want them to be easy. Exhibit A: search clicks following "easy homemade Christmas gifts" are more than double this year than they were in 2012.
After seeing how much work is required to create handmade or homemade gifts, it seems that many of us would rather outsource the job. For instance, websites receiving the bulk of traffic from personalized/homemade gift-related searches include sites like Personal Creations, PersonalizationMall.com and Things Remembered. These sites all allow gift-givers to personalize a wide array of gifts with custom embroidery, engraving, etching, etc. without the need to break out a glue gun or bedazzler.
That's not to say that we've completely thrown in the towel; Pinterest is the number two site on the downstream traffic list garnering 8.74 percent of clicks from personalized/homemade gift searches, many likely coming from gift-givers looking for ideas of things they can make themselves. Content rich sites like Martha Stewart, Spoonful, Real Simple, etc. are also capitalizing on searches for personalized/homemade gifts. All three sites, in fact, at least doubled their share of search clicks from related searches relative to last year.

Shakira To Join Obama Administration In Education Post
Today, in news of the unexpected! Colombian pop star Shakira, whose hips don't lie, is to be appointed to an education post in the Obama administration. Specifically, she will sit on the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. Good for her.
This news may be come as a surprise to those who know her primarily for her sexy music videos, but in addition to all that belly dancing and Grammy winning, Shakira has done quite a bit of education advocacy work. She founded the Barefoot Foundation in 1995 to help fund schools for poor children in Colombia, South Africa, and Haiti, and was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund in 2003. She also taught herself English in an incredibly short period of time so she could write English lyrics for her 2002 crossover hit Laundry Service, an experience which could certainly come in handy when strategizing on how best to teach the language to non-native speakers.
Did you know Shakira was this awesome? Well, now you do. Shakira kicks ass.

Comments for Laser Force Version 2
« Back to Laser Force Version 2
This game does not have any comments yet. Be the first person to share your thoughts!
Sep. 4, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) i tried insane, i had beaten it before but then my lasers started at losing, and i lost. Its harder now
Aug. 7, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Durfat, those are cool ideas to start the modes with lasers already controlled. I might add that in the next patch as well. I thought this glitch might happen. Have you got the first 8 skills all maxed and for some reason u can't get the last 2?
Aug. 20, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Thanks durfat but don't worry bout it, flash working now, and I'll try and increase difficulty some more so insane actually is insane =)
Jul. 9, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) This game would be great with a sort of sandbox mode. Or maybe I'm just not good at it. Anyway, very creative idea, fun gameplay, good difficulty curve. 5/5 Stars.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Hey, I might and complete some patches these holidays if I get the time but I've got loads of work to do so I apologise if I can't. elielijah123, I've tried to fix the loading bar but idk how. I checked a tutorial and that didn't help that much =P If someone has a tutorial to make it so it appears straight away at 0% or atleast below 10% can you please send it to me and I'll fix it. Nebula127, I want to add multiplayer also but I don't know how to. Plus it would need to be a system so that people host the matches because I wouldn't be able to =( Xytra, thanks =) but you'll probably get tired of it soon, just saying =P
Jan. 5, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) wtf one of the lasers revive and when i dominate it again...the last laser is supposed to be next but it brings it one down AND I CAN'T SWITCH LASERS BECAUSE OF THIS BUG up so developer can see
Mar. 1, 2017
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Notice: I have come a long way as a developer since I've made this game. Even though I moved onto mobile games, and soon virtual reality, I feel I can do better. So, I will be starting work on a new and improved version of Laser Force. Hopefully, it'll be released in 1-2 months from now with new features, animations, possibly new graphics, and an overall better gaming experience for all of you guys.
Jul. 22, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I know sorex666 =( I need help to try and fix that, and jsk1000 it's too easy if you don't have to click on the income, but u can quickly press the hotkey =)
Jan. 17, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I reloaded the game ten times for the achievement (Not sure why it's there - a time-based achievement would probably work just as well), and it reset my levels(from 37 to 0), but nothing else. As a result, finishing off Smart/Insane pushed me right up to level 17, awarding me skillpoints a second time. I'm playing in Google Chrome on an iMac running OSX10.6.2, if that helps. Awesome game, one of the best I've played in a while. It could be even better with multiplayer, but I know too well how hard that is to implement. 5/5, favourited.
Jan. 3, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Weird - I found smart on insane to be actually easier than version 1 on insane. Think it's because smart spreads its attacks out, giving me time to upgrade.
Oct. 24, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Alright, as I've said b4, for those who didn't see, I'm currently making an iPod game for Laser Force v2 so I'll add more achievements and the no mercy setting is a good one =D, I'll add that in for sure =D. Some good updates in the game are from user comments. So if anyone has any ideas of updates they would like to see in the game then post them in the comments and I'll probably update the game.
Oct. 18, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Hey, Major Info, I am currently creating and Ipod applcation for Laser Force. It's going to take some time but holidays are coming up for me so that'll give me some time to work on it =)
Sep. 11, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Minor Patch: Laser Effects fixed, Laser sounds added, Upgrade income timer fixed, Details section in-game changed for speedy mode and the 7th skill time reduced. Enjoy
Sep. 11, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Hi, soz for the break I've been having, been sick, had homework and was doing little patches for my older games. Hotkeys aren't released in this patch, sorry. There was an issue with it and until I get a response from the forums it'll have to be left out. A popular way of easily winning has been removed since there is now a 4 second timer (1 sec in speedy mode) for upgrading income. Version 1 is also harder since you are required to attack the laser that the computer is attacking. I added a cheat section so I can test functions quicker. You would need to code to be able to use the cheats but have fun trying to find the hidden section. Enjoy.
Aug. 26, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Why thank you =) Do u have all the first 8 skills maxed?
Nov. 8, 2010
Feb. 24, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Alright guys, sorry that I haven't commented in a while but year 12 is a harsh year =P I've been sent some awesome ideas for updates for the game, if you have one leave a comment, because if I like it I will probably at it =P. EVERYONE THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THE GLITCH, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE WITH THE DIFFICULTY, GAME TYPE, SPEED AND AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE! The next update I'm going to do is so that you are able to change the colour of the opponent's and your laser. Reminder: Send me cases, in detail, of bugs that occurred and of updates you would like to see in the game. Also if anyone can help me make this game multiplayer it would help a lot!

Under rating threshold (hideshow) I got to hand it to HageFade. The first time I played this game, which has a great concept...the thing had glitches...but he within a matter of days, HageFade fixed those problems. I re-rated this and gave it 5 of 5...not very often you find the creator ready to repair issues...as quick as he has...need badges tho'. Peace my programming brother. Will
Dec. 20, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) speedyblubi u are very stupid stuck up s.o.b
Dec. 19, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) so many bugs to work out... ill be waiting patiently.
Nov. 6, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Gamerboy5440, I thought I fixed that problem but I'll check it out again, sorry. Flameice321 that's ur choice, not up to me but ur seriously saying this is one of the worst games u have ever played? Drew6174, thank you =)
Nov. 6, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Dont Worry Hage dodos being an ass ill rate up 5 cause its good
Sep. 27, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Hey, I found the cheat section, too. I find it funny that finding it was the first thing I did, even before actually playing. I guess MMM trained me to look for things like that. (MMM = Momentum Missile Mayhem)
Sep. 26, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Hi, I'm using library internet near the resort I'm at. Ploopy1, why don't you like the game, i hate it when people say they don't like the game but don't say why. Guilherme404, I'm trying to do this but since the music player is in-game it might clash but I'll try to fix it. Durfat, nice job finding the section, I'm going to make it harder soon and hopefully a multiplayer section. Plus a hint of the code is the first part of the code is my first name is real life and the second part is the effect you get from using it. Good Luck! Ps Don't tell anyone where it is =D
Jul. 17, 2013
Dec. 18, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Great game but I can't upgrade my income, fix it please.
Mar. 9, 2011
Jan. 8, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) your loading bar should meet at the middle. XD
Nov. 27, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I don't even mind the income button bug at all. Its a great game I've never seen one like it.
Nov. 27, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Even though the upgrade income button doesn't work 5/5
Nov. 5, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Dodo, obviously you are lying about the game being riddled with bugs due to your silent. I even sent you a shout and you still haven't responded. Your comment is one of the factors that caused my game's rating to be reduced to 3.79.
Nov. 3, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Upgrade Income Bug Fixed =), If you find a bug tell me so I can fix it, and please don't rate the game down because of a bug, especially if I fix it quickly.
Nov. 2, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) it wont let me upgrade my income i tried refreshing but it didnt work....anybody else this happened to?
Nov. 1, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Alright insane mode is now harder, enjoy =)
Sep. 26, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Sadly, it is still only slightly harder. Also, i found the cheat section. Wonder what the codes are?
Jun. 3, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) People Rate up for thig game if you want badges or rate 5 because the aaverage rating for a game has to be 4.10 before they even start considering to make badges
Jun. 8, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) When you gain control of a laser the command automatically switches to the next one. Which is fine, but it causes bugs if the next one can't be controlled because you've already overpowered your enemy.
Mar. 29, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) @benubird you should upgrade your lasers first (try playing v2 or smart easy to medium or hard to get xp) to beat the insane mode, at one point you get 150 income bonus for 250 money, then focus on getting lots of income so you have semi-infinite money, support your troops so you don't lose but it isn't necessary to try to get the upper hand when money farming, once you have enough money just spam abilities, and upgrade income only when you have money left when you can get new money
Aug. 20, 2010
Sep. 27, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I'm sort of confused. It says to click or press up/down to switch lasers, but I click or press up and down and nothing whatsoever happens. Is this an error of some sort? I imagine it has to be, I doubt there's any way someone would make a game like this and only have one laser work at a time.
Sep. 4, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) That's good, insane suppose to be a lot harder and people are saying that it's easy. Sorry for the delay in updates, being sick and haven't a lot of homework aren't a good combination. I will try and release another patch in a week or so and I've thought up a few more updates I could do, check the updates section above.
Aug. 30, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Soz for the break I've been having. I got back to working yesterday and started patching some of my old games. So far I patched Hagefade Pong V1 then decided to go back patching this today. So far I've fixed that refreshing bug when you upgrade income a lot, a minor bug in the skills page, and now I've started on the hotkeys changer =) I'll try and finish it in a few days.
Dec. 19, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) the "upgrade income" button doesnt work for me
