Inherit the Earth 2 is the sequel to the video game Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb. Like the original, this sequel will be in the adventure genre, where exploration, puzzle-solving and story-telling are the major aspects of the game play.
This sequel will be produced by The Wyrmkeep Entertainment Co. and feature entirely new art, music and story, incorporated with a modern adventure game engine. We expect that a number of the developers that worked on the original game will be involved in developing the sequel.
The game is currently in pre-production. The design is complete* and concept art is being drawn based on the design. One of the original game designers is working on the character dialogue. A prototype of the game engine is being written.

The shifting production of corn for ethanol, the drought and wildfires are having an effect on cattle producers:
The U.S. cattle herd, including dairy cows and beef animals on feedlots and ranches, totaled 100 million head as of July 1, the fewest at that time of year since at least 1973, the USDA said July 22. As of July 1, the U.S. feedlot herd of beef cattle totaled 10.451 million head, up 3.8 percent from a year earlier, the USDA said in a report July 22, as drought forced ranchers to sell more livestock. Beef producers are culling cows and young females, which means smaller supplies for the next two years or longer, according to Steve Kay, the publisher of Cattle Buyers Weekly, a trade magazine based in Petaluma, California. The cattle and calf herd next year may fall to the lowest since 1952, increasing costs for meat processors including Tyson Foods Inc. and Cargill Inc., he said. "The drought has dried up any hopes for rebuilding the beef herd this year or next year," Kay said in a telephone interview. "Hay is getting shorter in supply and prices are running higher. The herd liquidation is increasing. The falling cattle herd is going to put more stress on the cattle-processing industry. Beef is going to continue to be more expensive for U.S. consumers." Feedlots also are accelerating sales to meatpackers, which will ultimately result in lower beef supplies and may send cattle to a record by the fourth quarter, said Don Close, a market director with the Texas Cattle Feeders Association in Amarillo.

Michele Bosak • Profile
Inspired by interior design, modernist architecture and vintage textiles, Michele Bosak's work is fittingly graphic in subject matter and in technique. Simple and minimal, her work creates a sense of stillness and quiet, generating feelings of absence and progress. Carefully executed, her patterns parallel the elements of our relationships.
Michele's process is an intuitive one – she spends a good deal of time exploring, collecting, and letting her ideas simmer. When she's ready to begin physically making art, she experiments with shapes and composition, small sketches, and color swatches. Vinyl and Japanese tape allow for the precision that Michele looks for in her image-making. Typically, one shape is repeated with variation in size and color, resulting in a quiet and orderly surface, with subtle differences emerging as the viewer spends time with the art.
Michele Bosak earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Kendall College or Art and Design and her Masters degree in Museum Studies from Northern Illinois University. Her work has been shown both regionally and nationally in juried competitions and exhibitions.
Michele Bosak • Statement
Stepping away from recent installation and experience-based work and returning to the static imagery that reminds me of my sense of "home", these drawings begin an exploration of the longing and comfort I find in patterns and spaces. My interest in architecture, furniture, and vintage goods is a departure point for my work. I'm a collector of objects - objects that allow me to define my sense of "home". The act of acquiring household goods and materials, and undertaking home renovations, provides an illusory sense of permanence. Yet, these acts temporarily fill a void and provide solace.
I document objects, materials and both real and imagined spaces through drawings. I reduce my imagery to simple forms and colors and focus on the interplay between constructed spaces and patterning. These artificial constructs represent little fragments of utopias that simulate stability trough idyllic representations of "home". As I consider the emotional content of absence, longing, and the dynamics of relationships, these images become a reflection of ideals and elusive spaces.
While I'm interested in specific places and objects, I abstract and isolate their representation, allowing them to become more than what they are. Floor tiles and brick patterns become both described and abstracted while also allowing a basis for static, repetitive compositions. This sameness and lack of personal information within my imagery creates a level of familiarity…but is it only what we know that strikes a chord? Pointing toward what is absent and what resides, I focus on the spaces between: static objects and materials that remind us of home, the mental and physical barriers we erect, and the loneliness and longing that ensues.

Using the so-called "nuclear option," Democratic-controlled Senate stripped the ability of Republicans to block presidential nominations. Now, the Senate needs a vote of only 51 - from 60 - to end filibusters against presidential nominees. The new rule won't apply to Supreme Court nominees. Historically - filibusters have been used to delay executive and judicial nominees from assuming their roles - a tool President Barack Obama called "reckless and relentless." (SOUNDBITE) U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "The vote today I think is an indication that a majority of Senators believe, as I believe, that enough is enough."

SAN DIEGO -- The county's Health and Human Services Agency on Wednesday launched a new Web site aimed at helping veterans, service members and their families access various services, including mental health counseling, emergency housing and employment assistance.
The Web site www.sandiego.networkofcare.org serves as a one-stop shop for service members to learn aboutorganizations that can help them. Information on the Web site isoffered in 11 languages.
With the large number of service members returning from war, the county is developing new mental health services to give them care as early as possible. The new services will be funded from the Mental Health Services Act approved by voters in 2004.
"The transition from soldier to civilian can prove challenging," said Nick Macchione, the county's Health and Human Services Agency director. "The county of San Diego is making efforts to ease the transition, especially when it comes to accessing services such as mental health resources."

Producers of a story for ABC Open have used portable waterproof cameras to take audiences out into the surf off Nobby's Beach, with a South American surfer who calls Newcastle home.
In this 110% Sport video for ABC Open students from the University of Newcastle introduce us to Leonardo, a 30-year-old Brazilian surfer who has been living in Newcastle for the past five years.
Nick Parkinson, Jaryd Cathcart and Hilary Stevens approached the brief by interviewing Leonardo about his passion for surfing, something Leo says is a deeply spiritual connection to the surf.
Camera operator Nick Parkinson proposed Leo as a subject for the story after meeting him through working as a landscape gardener.
"I got pretty close with him through work, and he was always talking about surfing, kind of like a different way to what normal people from Newcastle and around the area talk about surfing," he said.
"It's just a lot more spiritual for him."
In the description of the story at the ABC Open website the producers say that Leo fulfils 'his greatest love surfing everyday possible, as early as 5am'.
"To get his hit in the big old blue (Leo surfs) with locals, such as Novocastrians and other creatures like dolphins, at the well-known Nobby's Head Beach under the iconic lighthouse."
The portable camera, mounted on Leo's surfboard, captures a pod of dolphins, as well as in-the-water surfing action, as Leo catches a series of waves.
Nick says the experience of producing a short documentary has fuelled his ambition to becoming a film maker, all in his first year at university.
"Yeah definitely, I was actually saying to my parents the other day (about how) I want to become a film maker,
"I was talking about this semester, at first year uni, and how it's good that we're making projects with things like the ABC Open project,
"At the start of the year I never thought that we would be working towards something that's going to be actually out there on the internet, with our name on it."
The biggest lesson for Nick in producing the project has been organisation.
"Being organised, and everyone knowing their role, and knowing what part they've got to play," Nick said. "Be organised and know your equipment."

Yanks to keep A-Rod rehab location undisclosed
NEW YORK — To try and limit the "paparazzi" element of the performance enhancing drug allegations story involving Alex Rodriguez, the New York Yankees are planning on keeping A-Rod's whereabouts a secret during his rehabilitation.
More On The Yankees
Want to get the scoop on everything in pinstripes? ESPNNewYork.com has you covered. Blog
"I'm not going to say to try and keep away the extra whatever you want to call it, paparazzi, whatever it is, the stakeout wherever he is working out," Cashman said at the Hard Rock Caf in Time Square, where he helped support the Yankees' radio producer/engineer, Carlos Silva, who is battling cancer.
"That's the only reason I'm not going to say where he is going to be on a given day."
Rodriguez, 37, underwent left hip surgery Jan. 16. The Yankees have estimated he could return after the All-Star break.
Cashman, nor anyone from the organization, have spoken to Rodriguez about the specific allegations that surfaced in the Miami New Times a week ago that said A-Rod had a relationship with Anthony Bosch, a Miami-based man who has been associated with PEDs. Last Friday, ESPN's T.J. Quinn and Mike Fish reported that Rodriguez received injections from Bosch at his home.
Rodriguez, through his public relations firm, has denied any involvement with Bosch.
The Yankees are waiting for Major League Baseball to complete its investigation. Depending on the result, ESPNNewYork.com has reported the Yankees will look into trying to see what they can do about escaping from the remaining five years and $114 million on his contract. It is very difficult to void a guaranteed deal.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he has spoken to Rodriguez about his rehab in the past week, but not about the allegations. Girardi declined to describe A-Rod's mindset.
Yankees' medical officials have been in contact with Rodriguez to discuss his rehabilitation from his hip surgery.
"We have a protocol set up for Alex that was already in line through Dr. (Brian) Kelly's office," Cashman said, referencing the surgeon who performed the operation. "I'm not going to state where he will be when camp opens. It hasn't been altered with the recent publicity that he is dealing with."
Cashman said the fact the Yankees haven't spoken to Rodriguez is not a sign of non-support.
"The only thing required right now is patience and smarts," Cashman said. "By smarts, I mean, do not get ahead of things you don't know about. Do not speak to areas you have no knowledge of. Do not throw out sound bites that are convenient because everybody is hungry and thirsty for answers before you can legitimately provide any. So that's obviously what we are doing.
Mariano Rivera, who was also on hand for the event, said he has not talked with Rodriguez.
"I have nothing to say about that," Rivera said of A-Rod's situation. "He will tell you when he has time."

'¦ Former Northeastern University star Wade MacLeod had a seizure during Sunday's minor league hockey game at the MassMutual Center in Springfield after he was checked from behind into the glass, and he was in stable condition at an area hospital Sunday night.
MacLeod, a 26-year-old forward for the AHL's Springfield Falcons, collapsed while he was skating toward the bench. According to the Springfield Republican, MacLeod lay on the ice for several minutes, his legs flailing at times, while medical personnel attended to him.
"We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming show of support for Wade tonight," MacLeod's family said in a statement Sunday night. "Wade is alert, in good condition, in positive spirits, and is resting comfortably at Baystate Medical Center. He will remain at the hospital while he undergoes tests. We are deeply appreciative of all the caring and kind words we have received from family, friends, and fans."
Adirondack defenseman Brandon Manning received a two-minute penalty for boarding on the play, which occurred late in the second period with MacLeod's Falcons trailing 2-1. The coaches agreed to suspend the game at that point.
Manning tweeted later: would like to give my best to Wade MacLeod and his family. never had any intention of every hurting another player.. hope for a speedy recovery and see him back on the ice soon. thoughts and prayers to him and his family
MacLeod, who had an assist Sunday, has four goals and seven assists in 20 games this season for the Falcons, an affiliate of the Columbus Blue Jackets. At Northeastern, MacLeod played four years, leading the team in scoring his final three seasons. The native of Coquitlam, British Columbia, totaled 61 goals and 76 assists at NU while setting the school record for games played (149).
'¦ Former Mets catcher Mike Piazza wrote in his new book that he took karate lessons to be prepared for a fight with Roger Clemens after the then-Yankees pitcher beaned Piazza in 2000.
Clemens responded Sunday, telling the Houston Chronicle that Piazza wasn't the only one who wanted revenge, noting that even some of his own teammates had issues with him.
"He'd have to stand in line," said Clemens, who is serving as a spring training instructor for the Astros. "I think there were about three guys on the Yankees that wanted a piece of me more than [Piazza] did."
Clemens, who said has not read the book, claims he has become friendly with Piazza after playing with him at golf events.
"Some of these guys, once you get to know some of them, they're fine. But like I said, there was no intent there," Clemens insisted of his famous run-ins with Piazza, including the 2000 World Series incident in which Clemens threw a piece of a broken bat at the catcher. "And Mike's a good hitter and I think he hit every breaking ball I threw to him and he hit them hard. But he's not the first power hitter who's got me. So, we had some good times. But, yeah, somebody just texted me the Cliffs notes of [the book], so we thought that was pretty good."
'¦ Tiger Woods might not be the world's best golfer anymore, but he's still a major drawing card. On Sunday, he played a round with President Barack Obama at the Floridian, an exclusive yacht and golf club on Florida's Treasure Coast. The White House prohibited media coverage of the round, which included the participation of Astros owner Jim Crane, who owns the golf club, and outgoing U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk.
Obama, who is spending Presidents Day weekend in Florida, spent the day Saturday with Butch Harmon, Woods' former swing coach. That apparently was preparation for his round with Woods, who visited the president in the Oval Office of the White House in 2009.
"Just to see the interaction between the two on the range was pretty neat," Harmon told Golf Digest. "The President said to Tiger: 'The last tournament you played was fun to watch. It's good to see you play well again.' You could tell he meant it. It just wasn't a throw-it-out compliment."

'¦ The rivalry between the Patriots and Giants does not compare to both teams' dislike for the Jets. On Tuesday, Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes took a shot at Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff for comments Westhoff made early in the season about Giants punter Steve Weatherford, a former Jet.
"There were times when he just didn't do the job. '¦ Wasn't good enough, in my opinion," Westhoff said of Weatherford, who averaged 42.6 yards per punt in 2010 for the Jets.
"Unbelievable. That's the worst statement of the year by any coach in this game," Tynes said. "How could you say that? You just broke an NFL record for your team and you throw him under the bus. We're glad to have him. Mike Westhoff is a great coach, but I certainly think he missed on that one."
Responded Westhoff: "Tynes should mind his own business."
After switching to the Giants this season, Weatherford averaged a career-best 45.7 yards per punt.
"I think a lot of it has to do with playing for Tom Quinn and being comfortable and being confident and being strong," Weatherford said. "I think playing for the Jets and playing for that positional coach was draining. I thought it was difficult. It was physically taxing."
Weatherford said he did not speak to Westhoff when the teams meet in Week 16 and has not spoken to his former coach all year.
"To be honest with you, personally I don't have anything to say to him,' Weatherford said. 'I think I've kind of let my play speak for itself. That's what I was planning on doing. It's just motivation. It's kind of like the situation ' somebody's trash is another man's treasure. I'm trying my best to be Tom Coughlin's treasure."
'¦ New Astros owner Jim Crane announced Monday that he is considering changing the name of the team as it prepares for a move to the American League in 2013. In the Houston Chronicle, Jerome Solomon writes that Crane should worry about changing the team from a loser to a winner and leave the name alone.
'¦ Jeff Fedotin at The PostGame has the story of Mamadou Ndiaye, a 7-foot-5, 310-pound basketball player from Senegal who plays at a a Christian high school in Southern California. "We've played with big kids before, but this is '¦ different," and opposing coach said. "It looks like a dad playing with a bunch of little kids."

|Astros set to move to American League?
|10.21.11 at 11:30 am ET
The MLB reportedly is in discussions with Astros owner Jim Crane to work out a deal to move the team to the American League, according to the Houston Chronicle. The two sides are working out how much Crane will be compensated for agreeing to move the club out of the National League.
According to the report, MLB wants two 15-team leagues so that two more wild card spots can be added for the postseason. In order for that to happen, one of the 16 NL teams has to change leagues. Crane, who just reached an agreement to purchase the Astros in May, could stand to make $50 million for himself and his investors if he agrees to move the team to the AL.
'Baseball seems very interested to cause this to happen,' an industry insider familiar with the negotiations told the Chronicle.
The Astros are coming off a their worst season in team history after finishing 56-102 and appear to be the leading candidate to leave the NL, of which Houston has been a part of since 1962. The sale of the club to Crane is pending a vote by the MLB owners to approve the deal.

Global : Core earnings to lead growth in UAE banking sector
The oil price-led liquidity in the economy was a blessing for the UAE banking sector, which saw excellent growth in the last few years. Good times predominantly owed to the high credit and deposit growth on the back of relatively low interest rate environment, high oil prices and a flourishing economy. Consolidated assets of the banking sector grew by 41.9% to AED638.01bn at the end of 2005, thanks to the total credit growing by 43.0% to AED247.0bn on the back of strong economic growth. In terms of the size of the banking assets, UAE is second only to Saudi Arabia, which has aggregate banking assets of US$202bn as against UAE's US$174bn at the end of 2005.
Banks in UAE primarily belong to two categories, national (local) and foreign, with the latter being restricted from operating more than eight branches. Currently, there are 46 banks operating in UAE, including branches and offices of foreign banks. There are 21 national banks in UAE, all of which are listed either on Abu Dhabi Securities Market (ADSM) or Dubai Financial Market (DFM).
Among the GCC countries, UAE has the second highest number of banks after Bahrain. On July 31st, 2006, Central Bank of UAE granted Saudi American Bank (SAMBA) and Doha Bank of Qatar a license to open a branch to carry-out commercial banking business in the UAE. With the opening of branches of these two banks, there will be representation of GCC national banks from all GCC Countries. Currently, the national banks present in UAE are National Bank of Oman, A1-Ahli Bank of Kuwait and National Bank of Bahrain.
Another notable feature is the rapid stride that Islamic banking has made in the UAE. A range of Sharia-compliant products was introduced in the market and Islamic finance deals like Ijara transactions have become common in property purchasing deals. The region has witnessed Islamic Sukuks attracting large investor volumes with subscriptions exceeding expected issuance, even in big issues. Due to surplus liquidity in the system on the back of high oil prices helped banks to strengthen their deposit franchise during the last two years. Total deposits (excluding government deposits) increased by 35.4% to AED306.54bn at the end of 2005, whereas increased by only 7.7% to AED330.22bn at the end of first quarter of 2006. However, the share of deposits in total liabilities declined to 44% in the 1Q-06 from 50.4% at the end of 2004.
Over the years, credit facilities have led the asset growth of the UAE banking sector. After a sedate growth in 2001, growth of total credit accelerated in the following two years. Cashing in on the favorable macro-scenario, total credit increased by 37.7% to AED394.89bn in 2005, with the credit to residents growing at faster rate by 43.0% to AED353.14bn. The total credit and credit to residents grew further by 21.4% and 22.5% in the first quarter of 2006.
The size of the banks under our coverage increased from AED265.99bn in 2004 to AED395.76bn in 2005, a growth 48.8% over the previous year. During the period 2002-05, asset size of the banks grew at a CAGR of 28.9%. In terms of size, the top three banks namely NBAD, EBI and ADCB contribute 50.7% of the overall size of the banks under review. Going forward, asset size of the banks under coverage is likely to register a CAGR of 17.5% over the next four years.
Deposits grew at a CAGR of 26.0% for the period 2002-05 from AED132.22bn in 2002 to AED264.71.5bn in 2005. In order to support strong loan growth in the banking sector, resource mobilization is the key. Most of banks have also started focusing on medium term notes as a way of increasing their funding base. We expect deposit mobilization to grow at a CAGR of 18.9% over the next four years (2005-09) for the banks under coverage.
Net loans grew at a CAGR of 33.7% for the same period. The net loan book increased from AED100.8bn in 2002 to AED241.1bn in 2005. In 2005, the net loans increased by 47.1% as compared to 2004. The growth on the consumer lending front is likely to slow down in 2006, but will still remain healthy for the banking sector. We also believe the banks will continue to witness strong lending requirements from the service and real estate sectors, especially the services sector. We estimate net loan portfolio of the banks under coverage to register a CAGR of 21.3% for the period 2005-09.
Profits of the banks under review, grew from AED3.47bn in 2002 to AED12.19bn in 2005 registering a CAGR growth of 52.1% for the period 2002-05. In 2005, profit growth was particularly stronger, as the all the banks witnessed healthy growth in fees and commission income due to the surge in capital markets. The fee income grew from AED2.28bn in 2004 to AED5.23bn, registering a growth of 129.9%. Net commission income, which is from core banking activities grew from AED5.79bn in 2004 to AED8.88bn in 2005, a growth of 53.4%. Profits for the banks under coverage is likely to register a CAGR of 12.0% on the back of 21.3% growth in net interest income and 7.2% growth in non-interest income.
The year 2005 has been a record year for UAE banks, as they were the most profitable thanks to the surging capital markets and IPOs tapping the market. The average return on average assets and return on average equity at 3.6% and 27.8% respectively reported in 2005, where as the average ROAA and ROAE in 2004 were 2.3% and 18.6% in 2004 respectively. Total non-performing loans of the banks under review amounted to AED4.04bn in 2005 as compared to AED4.72bn in 2004, which represented 1.7% of the banks' aggregate loan portfolio at the end of year 2005 as compared with 2.9% in 2004. UAE banks average coverage ratio (PLLs-to-NPLs) was 116% in 2005 as compared to 97.1% at the end of 2004.
The first nine months of 2006 has not been very rosy for the UAE banking sector, like seen in the year 2005. This is primarily because of the reduced fee and commission income, which saw a decline during the first nine months due to the slow down in capital market activity. However, the income from core banking activities has been healthy during the first nine months of 2006 which further substantiates our view that core income is likely to drive earnings growth going forward. In the first nine months of 2006, the net interest income of the banks under review reached AED8.23bn as compared to AED6.23bn during the same period corresponding year, registering a growth of 28.0%. On a q-o-q, the net interest income of the banks under review was AED2.73bn in the third quarter of 2006 as compared with AED2.34bn during the same period in corresponding year, registering a growth of 16.3%. Net income for the UAE banks under review reported a marginal growth of 1.4% during the first nine months of 2006. (Global Research)

The Delta Cross Channel gates were closed Tuesday around 10 a.m. to cut the connection between the Sacramento and Mokelumne rivers. The closure is an experiment that officials hope will increase the number of fall chinook salmon migrating from the ocean back to their spawning grounds along the Mokelumne.
With stronger currents coming from the Sacramento River where it connects with the Mokelumne, the salmon can become confused and get lost in the various channels. By cutting off the flow of stronger currents, it will be easier for salmon to migrate and eventually return to the hatchery.

Tariff Equivalent and Forgone Trade Effects of Prohibitive Technical Barriers to Trade
We derive a method to econometrically estimate the tariff equivalent and forgone trade effects of a prohibitive technical barrier to trade (TBT) based on Wales and Woodland's Kuhn-Tucker approach to corner solutions in consumer choice. The method overcomes the lack of observed data on bilateral trade flows and accounts for differentiated goods by place of origin. We apply the derived random utility model to international trade in apples to identify the tariff equivalent of prohibitive phytosanitary barriers imposed by Australia on potential imports of New Zealand apples. We estimate the forgone apple trade between the two countries, the implied trade injury imposed by Australia on New Zealand, and the welfare loss to Australia. The removal of the Australian policy would induce net welfare gains around US$50 million annually for Australia. Copyright 2009, Oxford University Press.

Marketplace for Tuesday August 5, 2014
The media company Gannet, which owns the newspaper USA TODAY, announced plans to separate its broadcast and digital division from its publishing division. The company added that this move will give the new separate companies 'increased opportunities to grow organically'. Why has Gannett made this move now and will it pay off? We investigate. Plus, President Obama announced that U.S. corporations have pledged $14 billion worth of investments in African countries. We look at the kinds of projects U.S. companies are pursuing in Africa and where they are happening. Also, the DOJ is investigating GMs auto loan business amid speculation of fraudulent. The auto loan business isn't so big that a loan freeze will create a systemic problem for the financial system, but if the government clamps down, people will suffer.

McstAggers replaces Corvina's downtown
McstAggers replaces what was Corvina�s at the corner of Milwaukee Street and Parker Drive.
Matt Ross of Edgerton and Alfredo De Los Monteros of Janesville are operating the bar for owners Fred Shahlapour and Jaleh Dabiri, who hold the liquor license.
The capital letters in McstAggers stand for Ross� and De Los Monteros� first names. The two men said they have experience running clubs in Chicago and elsewhere.
Ross and De Los Monteros plan to get their own liquor license and lease the building from the owners.
Shahlapour, Ross and De Los Monteros said they want to run a clean, quiet establishment and stay away from Corvina�s reputation, which included accusations of underage drinking and violent or harassing behavior by patrons.
McstAggers has a dance floor. Blues and classic rock bands will play during the week, and a deejay will play Top 40 and other music on Fridays and Saturdays, De Los Monteros said.
While Top 40 includes hip-hop, there will be no gangster rap music, De Los Monteros said.
McstAggers has a dress code that outlaws sleeveless shirts, hats worn any way except with the bills straight head or straight behind, ripped, torn or sleeveless clothing and excessively baggy clothing.
Plans are to hire security staff.
�We are not going to be prejudiced to anybody,� Shahlapour said. �As long as people are well behaved and they go along with the dress code, they are welcome to come.�

Singer Jenni Rivera Killed in Plane Crash
The wreckage of the aircraft believed to be carrying reality TV star and singer Jenni Rivera has been found with no survivors, according to authorities. The small plane—which was discovered in Nuevo Leon state—went missing early Sunday morning after it took off from the Monterrey, Mexico airport at 3:30 a.m. Aviation authorities lost contact with the Learjet about 10 minutes after takeoff. Rivera was traveling with a handful of other people, including her lawyer, makeup artist, and publicist. Born in California, Rivera has sold 15 million records worldwide and is known for her starring role on I Love Jenni, a reality show on the Mun2 network.

Sick Juror Deals Major Setback to Rajaratnam trial
Breaking: After more than a week of pouring over evidence in the insider trading prosecution of Raj Rajaratnam, the jury has to start over from scratch.
You heard that correctly. Manhattan judge Richard Holwell dismissed a juror for medical reasons requiring the seating of an alternate juror and a do-over of jury deliberations. Holy mackerel!
All we have are questions at this point: We don't know what medical issues the juror faced; when deliberations will start anew (the remaining jurors may need a mental-health break); and whether there is any precedent for this kind of thing.
More to come later.

Harry Rosasco Pooley
Jan. 24, 1922 - June 6, 2013
Sonora native Harry Rosasco Pooley, 91, died Thursday at his home in Oakdale.
Mr. Pooley was born in Sonora to William James Pooley and Matilda Rosasco Pooley. He spent his childhood on the family ranch in Keystone and attended both elementary and high school in Sonora.
After high school, Mr. Pooley had the opportunity to play minor league baseball but chose to stay at the family ranch and learn the cattle business from his father and many uncles in the Rosasco family.
In 1942, Mr. Pooley joined the 55th Seabees of the U.S. Navy, traveling throughout the Pacific during World War II.
In 1947, he met Betty Ann Dorroh and they later married. Together they raised three children, Louise, Bill and Jane.
He continued to work in the cattle business. His family said he frequently stated that "The price of beef was too low and the price of feed was too high."
After retiring from the cattle business, he turned his attention to his garden. He grew a little of everything, his family said, but he was most proud of his tomatoes and onions. He often gave his produce to friends and always kept some in his truck because he never knew who he might run into.

D-backs' duo ahead of their time
Drew, Young in NLCS just one year removed from Minors
By Matthew Leach / MLB.com
As central cogs of both the offense and defense for the National League West champion Arizona Diamondbacks, they have hit their target. Young plays center field and leads off, Drew plays shortstop and bats second. And they were the Snakes' two best players in a just-completed Division Series sweep of the Cubs.
If they handed out an MVP award in the Division Series round, Drew would have won it. And Young might have made a nice runner-up. Drew went 7-for-14 in the series, rapping four extra-base hits, driving in four runs and scoring four times.
"You want to talk about their team, start talking about their shortstop, what a job he did," said Cubs manager Lou Piniella. "The Drew kid. He made some great plays, hit some home runs. What did he hit, over .500 in this playoff? Pretty impressive."
Young put on a show as well. He was 3-for-11 with two homers, three runs, four RBIs and three walks. He got on base six times in four games, and his homer to lead off Game 3 was undeniably one of the series' biggest hits.
"It seemed like every time I came up, I was hitting with guys on base," said Arizona's No. 3 hitter, Eric Byrnes. "These guys were so instrumental. C.Y., to start the game off the way he did [in Game 3], it kind of let the air out of the crowd a little bit. That was awesome."
For both second-year players, the chance to start the numbers over at zero has some value. Each man posted a low batting average this year, though of course batting average doesn't tell anywhere near the whole story.
That's especially true for Young, who despite hitting .237 managed 32 home runs, a .467 slugging percentage and 27 steals in 33 tries. Drew put up a line of .238/.313/.370, but hidden in that line were some stretches of excellent play. Drew went 9-for-9 in stolen base attempts.
And whether things were going well or poorly, both youngsters carried themselves like pros. They're already saying the right things in their first postseason.
"You don't even think about personal success in the playoffs," Young said. "It's all about winning, and that's what we're doing right now. That's what counts."
Young and Drew are emblematic of the sort of team Arizona has built. They both came through the Minors as top prospects -- Drew as a D-backs Draft pick, Young acquired in a trade. Drew shined in his first taste of the Majors in 2006, while Young struggled a bit.
Along with Conor Jackson, Justin Upton, Mark Reynolds, Micah Owings and plenty more, they look like the core of a team to be watched for a long time.
"They've grown up a little bit," Byrnes said. "I wouldn't say a lot, but they've grown up a little bit. But they're still learning. That's what's so great about this team, and that's what's so great about the future of the Diamondbacks, is that these guys are so young and they are still learning, and I think we can get a whole lot better."
Considering that they led the National League in wins, and that they're the first team to advance to the second round of the NL playoffs, that has to be a scary thought to the rest of the league.
"Everybody just tries to do their job and pick each other up," Drew said. "If somebody can't do it, let the next guy do it. That's how it's been all year, and at the end of the day we just shake hands and try to win the series."

|(EW.com) -- Peter and Bobby Farrelly have been quietly developing a sequel to "Dumb and Dumber" for awhile now.
Back in October, we heard that Sean Anders and John Morris -- the comedy screenwriting duo behind "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "Mr. Popper's Penguins" -- were hard at work on a script. That was the last bit of news about the project...at least until this weekend, when Peter Farrelly dropped a Twitter-imploding bombshell in the middle of a "Three Stooges" press junket.
"We're getting set to shoot Dumb and Dumber 2 in September," the director told ComingSoon.net. "We've got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back."
Farrelly may have jumped the gun a little bit -- a source close to the production tells EW that the film is "moving along, but it's not greenlit yet." It's hard to imagine a green light is too far away, though -- following last week's announcement about the impending arrival of "Anchorman 2," this feels like the moment for long-awaited comedy sequels. (Also: Is this a big day for Jeff Daniels, or what?)
See the full article at EW.com.
I like it a lot! One of the favorite movies of all time for myself, now a sequel!

THE WEE HOURS a new album
by Sascha Ley & Laurent Payfert
In case you know Sascha Ley, you will know what to expect from this CD. The Saarbrücken born artist from Luxembourg, who also works as an actress and composer, is - if one may say so - without parallel in Europe. Melodious, expressive and with stunning lyrics. Of course she makes ample use of her voice, not only when reciting/singing the lyrics, but also in order to perform them in a moving manner; in every respect an extraordinary singer and musician. She is accompanied by the bass player Laurent Payfert who is connected to the entire spectrum of acoustic music this enchanting solo artist stands for. There is a lot of storytelling, acting and improvisation in each of these songs. Here we find music and drama combined in a unique way. 11/2015 Hans-Jürgen von Osterhausen JAZZ PODIUM

Guru investor Chuck Royce (Trades, Portfolio) was also busy buying shares in the company over the last quarter. Surgical Care Affiliates, Inc., based in Deerfield, Ill., is the U.S.'s largest outpatient ambulatory surgical care company. The company is the former outpatient surgical division of HealthSouth Corporation. The company has network of 185 outpatient surgery centers and three surgical hospitals located in 34 states.

Gerry Harlington, a flamboyant American actor, has taken residence with his glamorous Russian wife Ekaterina. The local dramatic society is looking for a new director for their Son et Lumière show to be staged at Fulke Castle and it seems at first that Gerry might fit the bill.

UPDATED: South Thomaston crash stops traffic on Route 131
South Thomaston — A head-on collision in slippery road conditions caused injuries and blocked traffic on Route 131 in South Thomaston on the evening of Feb. 27, according to the Knox County Sheriff's Office.
The crash involved four vehicles near Box 571.
Clayton Philbrook, 32, of Arundle, was traveling south on Route 131 and started to slide sideways, according to information provided by Sheriff Donna Dennison. Philbrook's vehicle spun into the northbound lane and struck a vehicle driven by Candice Carpentier, 31, of St. George, who then struck Penelope Fontanez, 54, of St. George, and then continued into the southbound lane, striking Melissa Delano, 39, of St. George head-on.
Penelope Fontanez, Melissa Delano and her son were taken to PenBay Medical Center for complaint of pain.
Deputies Nathaniel Jack, David Johnson and Lt. Kirk Guerrette responded to the crash.
Since when did this turn into an article about bashing the vehicle's condition one drives?
An observation: Headlines tell us that two cars were involved . . then almost immediately the text says "four". Just sayin'. My solution to bad roads? Staying home! (But then - I'm retired!) Hope all are ok!
I hope everyone is okay! Everyone should take extra care in bad weather no matter what they drive. My sister drives to bath daily in a two wheel drive car. She drives safely and being raised in Maine, she knows how to drive properly.
At least the story parsed the cause, "believed to be related to slippery conditions..." and not the very annoying excuse of "accident was caused by slippery conditions"
Slippery roads do NOT cause accidents by themselves. Driving too fast for conditions, with inadequate equipment, following too closely, driver inattention...or some bad combination of all of the above--THAT's what causes accidents on wintry roads.
Your vehicle will always obey the laws...OF PHYSICS! Please slow down, even if it means the jerk behind you gets cranky. And, hey jerk, one car length per 10 miles per hour, even more in bad weather. You won't push me any faster by being on my rear end. And everyone, shell out a few extra bucks for good snow tires. And how does ANYONE exist around here without an all wheel drive vehicle?? Bad drivers with vehicles in poor condition put us all at risk, no matter how carefully the rest of us drive.
You know sometimes people really do know more then of what happened then what was posted here. I knew about this story and more LONG before it was posted in here. I was no where near the place. Just keep in mind before you assume that you can read it all here. I wouldn't say he knows more then "the rest of us" Thanks, Respectfully
Hope everyone is okay ! That is a bad stretch there, coming down that incline towards Dave's....almost like a pull in the road. I have seen several accidents there in that spot over the last several years.
Huh? Mr. Frye, I guess you know more than the rest of us.? No, names-released.? Please, for the sake of all parents, friends, neighbors... Make sure your facts are true. thanks, respectfully. ...

Frozen custard is huge in the mid-west. And I don't mean literally. The portion sizes at Ted Drewes or Kopps are no bigger than a decent ice cream cone in New York. But custard is hugely popular. You can get sundaes, concretes, blizzards, and the like. And I've been to both those places in St. Louis and Milwaukee, respectively, and I fully understand the popularity.
Custard is made with a good deal of eggs and is frozen in a special machine. It makes the ice cream thicker and richer. And in a lot of ways, it makes it a more enjoyable sensation on the mouth. Mouth Feel.
To my knowledge, there aren't many options for frozen custard in New York. Speaking of huge, I think most locals know Shake Shack by now. They sort of cornered the market on frozen custard in the city creating crazy flavors like Pancakes and Bacon, Concord Grape, and Apple Cinnamon Raisin.
But much more humbly and further away from the spotlight in the Latin American neighborhood of Corona in Queens, Timmy O's opened about two years ago and they're making some of the best custard I've had in the city or anywhere for that matter.
And before we even arrived, I fell in love with this place. We were at dinner in Flushing and I decided to call Timmy O's to make sure they were still open (for the night and for the season). I didn't realize I was actually calling Timmy O's cellphone. He told me they would be open until 9 but he was not at the store. Sort of disappointed I wouldn't get to meet this exuberant voice, we still decided to try it out.
They're a much smaller operation than Shake Shack. Based on articles on the wall and stories the wonderfully sweet employee Rita told us, Timmy has a huge passion for making the custard (he makes it all on premises) and even attended ice cream school in St. Louis. They always offer three choices: vanilla, chocolate, and one special (it was passion fruit today). And Rita quickly gave us a taste of all three.
Wow! These are gourmet custards and instead of using gimmicky flavors (like a previously mentioned burger hut), Timmy O's makes his with really special ingredients: the vanilla is a special Madagascar vanilla and the chocolate is made from a fancy Dutch cocoa. And you can tell in the flavor that these are more than just generic chocolate and vanilla. They have rich, deep flavors that come alive on your palate. The passion fruit (which is not my favorite dessert flavor) also worked surprisingly well in a dairy form. It wasn't too tart, not too sweet, perfectly balanced and intensely flavored.
Not sure what to get (Rita kept giving us so many recommendations!), we settled on what they call the Mexican Sundae concrete. It involved both chocolate and vanilla custard, Mexican peanuts (which are just salted), and chocolate suace.
Now a concrete is custard aggressively blended with a topping and then served with a spoon. It's usually turned upside down to show how thick it is (much like actual concrete, but more delicious). That's not exactly what we got here. Rita did use the blender, but it ended up being built more like a sundae with whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top. It was pretty and quite delicious (somehow we finished the whole thing), but not what I was hoping for in a concrete.
And that's really my only complaint with Timmy O's. Rita called it a concrete but from my experience, I was expecting something else. She said they don't blend it that much because then it would get soupy. Hm. Not sure about that. And I've never seen a concrete gussied up and with all those toppings after blending.
But really, should I be complaining? With product this good and a staff this friendly and energetic, I should just shut up and eat the damn stuff. Which is what I did. Especially considering you don't get frozen custard this good just anywhere in New York. In fact, I'd recommend Shake Shack employees jumping the 7 train to learn a thing or two about real custard.
Is Timmy O's Frozen Custard the best ice cream in NY? The flavors taste real and the texture of the custard feels great on the mouth. They still get a 9 out of 10 even though I take issue with some of their menu semantics.

The RBA has released a goldmine of analysis on how overvalued is the Australian dollar following a freedom on information request (God knows why this is not on the public record anyway. The market response was obvious though brief, above).
The bottom line is that RBA reckons:
Most models – including the staff's internal models and the IMF's models suggest the exchange rate is overvalued by 4–15 per cent…The range of estimates reflects differences in the choice of economic fundamentals and time periods that are used to estimate the 'equilibrium' levels.
