text: This is for those of you that were using the one build of the Swype Beta that actually worked for the Ally (up until last week, when it expired). There is a new beta floating around (version 126.96.36.19912.t100), however, when installed on the Ally, it instantly locks you out with a message that this version wasn't made for your phone. I read somewhere that in the past, you could fix this by modifying the Swype apk to contain an older "license.dat" file (such as the one from the open beta). With this new version however, Swype will FC instantly if it was installed from a resigned apk. Out of curiosity, I extracted the files from within "classes.dex" and started poking around. In one of the files, I found this line: Code (Text): .field private static final LICENSE_FILE_ON_FILESYSTEM:Ljava/lang/String; = "/data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod/swypedata/license.dat" This sparked my curiosity a bit. Apparently, one area Swype looks for its "license.dat" file is on your phone's filesystem! After a few unsuccessful tests, I found a license file that worked on my phone. So far, Swype hasn't given me any problem with this combo of old license + new Swype. The "license.dat" file itself can be found within older swype apk's that you may find floating around the net. It is located at "/assets/files/license.dat" within the apk. You may need to try multiple versions before you find one that works for your phone. Also, a quick reminder that Swype *is* copyrighted software, and that you download said apk's at your own risk. The easiest way to get this onto your phone is to extract the "license.dat" file to your android SDK's "tools" folder and run this command (with your phone attached in USB debugging mode of course): Code (Text): ./adb push license.dat /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod/swypedata/ If you have trouble with the directory(s) not existing, make sure to run Swype at least once first. It will create it's own folders. Good Luck! Note: I've only had Swype working on my phone this way for about an hour now, so it could always change it's mind and stop working. I don't anticipate any trouble with it, but I haven't thoroughly tested it yet. UPDATE: After upgrading my girlfriend's Ally to Velocity 0.2, I tried applying the Swype fix using the adb push command above. This failed with a "Permission Denied" error. Instead, I had push the file elsewhere and use a cli shell to move it to the correct location. Not sure why adb allowed the push on my phone but not on hers. If you try the command above and get a permission denied error, try the following. 1) Transfer the file to your phone (anywhere should be fine) 2) Open a terminal emulator or an adb shell 3) Run the "su" command (no quotes) and confirm dialog on your phone to get root privileges. 3) Navigate to the location you placed "license.dat" 4) Run the command "mv license.dat /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod/swypedata/" (without the quotes) I apologize for the sloppiness of my workaround. I'm a still bit of a newbie with the adb interface. Also, being good with the command line apparently doesn't make up for being bad at writing instructions. If anyone has a better (and more fool-proof) set of instructions, feel free to post them.

Arab investor interested in 40 percent stake in Al-Watany Bank
An international Arab financial institution has offered to purchase a 40 percent stake of the Al-Watany Bank (AWB) of Egypt's 157 million pound ($34 million) capital, reported Al-Alam Al-Yaum.
The bank recently issued a counter statement agreeing to sell 33 percent of its shares to the institution on the condition that the remaining seven percent will be distributed to its former shareholders. The interested firm has until April 15 to return its final offer to close the deal.
AWB is one of Egypt's leading private sector banks. At present, the bank's services include current accounts and time deposits, certificates of deposit, documentary settlements, and project and loan finance. The bank is also involved in securities trading, establishment of new companies and promotion of initial public offerings (IPOs).
The bank offers these services through its 15-branch network, Visa, tele-banking, and automated teller machines (ATM) in Egypt's major cities. The bank also operates an Islamic banking branch in Cairo. — (menareport.com)

Hey all.
I was just trying to dabble with some Metroid tile editing -- mainly just for fun.
I wanted to focus on editing the title screen so it resembles the real Metroid logo instead of the straight up-and-down version that we got.
We are all familiar with the Japanese version:
And then our version:
So I made my own version, loosely based on the one from MII, and mixing it with the style used in the Japanese M1 title screen:
So here's where my main questions lie:
- How do I do more than just edit the tiles so the graphics look the way I want it to?
I know I have to edit the tiles eventually, but how do I actually hack the rom so it takes from the NEW tiles instead of just using what's already there?
What are the best tile editing/NES ROM hacking software apps to use? (or which do you prefer?)
Remember, this is clearly more than just a simple tile edit -- I want to go in there and actually change the graphics of the title screen completely.
Thanks in advance, guys.
PS - if you're going to post something like, "I don't know anything about this," or "I can't help you," please don't bother posting at all.

CHARD woman Andrea Woods is 'drying out' to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Andrea has signed up with the national Dryathlon campaign by giving up alcohol for the whole of January.
"All through January I'm not going to touch alcohol – not a drop," she said.
Andrea, of Hornsbury Hill Farm, admitted that she likes a drink, but is determined to go the whole month without one.
"I've moved all of our leftover Christmas booze into the shed, out of sight and out of mind," she said.
"I don't expect my husband, Clive, to stop drinking as well, but I've asked him to show a little compassion and not rub my nose in it!
"I plan to stay out of the pub and away from the booze aisle in Tesco. I'm glad it's the last aisle in the store – I can just turn right after the biscuits!
"I'm hoping to stay strong, and if it goes well I may extend it and see if I can go tee-total for good – that would be an achievement."
Andrea is hoping to raise as much money as possible in memory of good friend Mary Laken, of Cheddar, who died of cancer in December.
To sponsor her, go to her fundraising page at www. justgiving.com/dryathlete-andrea-woods Andrea would also like to hear from anyone else in the area taking part in Dryathlon.

What Anthony Bourdain Didn't Eat in Israel
It took a decade and at least one petition circulated by fans, but celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain finally shot a show in Israel. "Jerusalem," the first episode of "Parts Unknown, Season 2," aired on CNN , giving viewers a chance to judge whether it was worth the wait.
Anthony Bourdain's Big Israeli Disappointment
I have a confession — a somewhat unacceptable one for a food editor — I do not enjoy food television. Thank you very much for your food porn shots of gem-like amuse bouche and towering cakes, but I'd rather be cooking than salivating in front of my computer.
Ruth Bourdain Comes Out of the Pantry
The wondering and speculation are over. We finally know who the real person is behind Ruth Bourdain, the Twitter personality that is a bizarre mashup of former Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl and foul-mouthed TV food show host Anthony Bourdain (visually, we're talking Reichl's dark long hair with bangs plopped on top of Bourdain's mug).
Spicy Kugel Just Isn't Anthony Bourdain's Cup of Tea
Anthony Bourdain likes his kugel the way bubbies make it. At least, that's what he told contestant Jeanette Friedman on the premier of his new competition cooking show "The Taste" when she added jalapeños and adobo spices to the Eastern European Jewish staple. The show premiered this week on ABC with Bourdaine co-hosting with British stunner Nigella Lawson, French chef Ludo Lefebvre and Top Chef Brian Malarkey.

Nicole Vaughn
I actually first heard about Nicole Vaughn when Jolyn, a reader, commented on one of my music posts about her. I went to her website to take a listen and I loved what I heard. A peaceful voice, relatable lyrics, and emotionally charged melodies are what make up her tracks. It just so happens that the singer/songwriter is also a huge Free People fan! She sent in an FPme photo that we recently posted on the blog (she's the third one down). It's hard to believe she's not already a huge sensation. Nicole is one of the music scene's best kept secrets that needs to be let out of the bag.
Nicole gladly answered a few questions for you all to get to know her better. She's also made her song, "Stuck on You," available for free download to you all! (Thank you, Nicole!) Read up on our interview with the inspirational woman and take a listen to her music!
Where were you when you wrote your first song?
I wrote my first official song on guitar at 13, I was sitting on the floor of my room with my guitar and a notebook of some poetry (not very good poetry), and sort of just started to put the pieces together.
What is your favorite song off of your most recent album, "Say It," and why?
I think that my favorite song off of album would be "Everything We've Built" or the title track itself, "Say it". These are the most personal and soul-bearing songs on the album and are extremely raw and honest in their story-telling and how I felt about the subject matter.
What is your picture of success?
Success to me would be to continue creating quality music and lyrics that I'm excited about and playing and collaborating with talented musicians that I admire. If I get some fans and make people smile, feel, connect, or dance along the way, I am happy. I'd also like to open for Wilco or Mason Jennings one day, but that might be pushing it ;)
What's the last album you bought? What else is on your iPod right now?
I recently bought Paul Simons greatest hits, Dawes' new album, and Barrett Johnson's album "In Case I went Missing". Some of my iPod go-to's are: Mason Jennings, Neko Case, Cass McCombs, Alexander, Rolling Stones, Lissie, Muddy Waters, Bon Iver, Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, Arcade Fire, Patsy Cline, Wilco, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Randy Newman, Sharon Van Etten…just to name a few! I love it all.
What is your signature look?
I'm not even sure, I think I'd have to ask someone else, hah! I just wear what I like and I'm comfortable in. Fancy stuff when I'm on stage, but lately off stage I've been really casual. I just like jeans, plain T, some turquoise or native american jewelry, and some boots. I like simplicity more and more these days.
What sort of hobbies do you have besides your music?
I love reading a good book, surfing, camping, going to shows, road-trips, hiking, running, rock-climbing, spending time with my pups, anything adventurous and spontaneous. I like to keep life interesting and unpredictable.
What is your favorite book?
East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I'm a big fan of Steinbeck.
One thing you cannot live without is?
Guitar. Or my wonderful mom. Or my dogs. I mean that's a pretty tough question. haha
What does Free mean to you?
Free means having a free state of mind, not being confined by status quos or trends-free of influence, loving what you love just because YOU love it! Doing what you want, because it's what YOU want to do.

monday's can be a little rough so i thought i'd try to make it a little better by giving you the march calendar a day early :)
i love march…those first few days when you realize a light jacket is enough, the trees begin to come alive again and the air isn't quite so bitter, you leave work and it's still light outside…it's the best feeling. i am very much anti-winter but it's worth suffering through just for the sweet feeling when spring thaws the earth.
i think our graphic designers captured that feeling perfectly with the march calendar… click here to go to our flickr page, where you have the choice of downloading either the regular or widescreen version.

I would not be surprised if Clay was invited and turned them down.
I would not be surprised if Clay was invited and turned them down.
I would be. I don't think it's in him to turn down something like this that has the potential to raise so much money for these charities. Even if he would want to say no, I don't think he would actually do it, not when he could help. But, honestly, I don't think AI asked. He is, and will likely always be, the "red-headed step-child", and they feel they can treat him as such whenever it suits them. I hate that. It isn't right, IMO, but I know he doesn't sweat it anymore, so neither do I.Originally Posted by AllDone;2349888;
I'm sure he didn't turn them down, and on the UNICEF web page where they talk about the Idol Gives Back fundraiser, they do picture Clay and mention that he is one of their ambassadors.
If UNICEF is talked about on the show tonight and there is no mention of Clay whatsoever, even in passing, it will confirm my perception that there has been an ever-growing rift between Clay and all the 19E affiliates, including RCA. That rift has been growing since some time in early 2004 (though in many ways it started way back during AI2), and it has really increased since mid-2005, finally reaching the point where AI6 has not mentioned him once (if I recall correctly) and has only pictured him once, for about half a second. This seems really odd, given that he is, however you slice and dice it, one of their 3 to 5 most honored and commercially successful alumni and, where humanitarian and charitable work is concerned, he's clearly their #1. But if the widespread rumors are true, that Clay and RCA are about to part ways and he may sign with a competitor, it's not that hard to figure out why they don't want him to be successful or get recognition for his work. If he leaves RCA voluntarily and signs with another major label, he will be the first from the Idol stable to do that. Everyone else who is with a non-RMG label was either never offered an RMG contract (e.g., Kim Locke, Josh Gracin) or was offered one and later dropped (e.g., Tamyra Gray, Justin Guarini). I really don't think TPTB at Idol/19 like that precedent being set one bit.
(Notice how quickly they went into action to sign Jennifer Hudson, whom RMG had previously passed over, as soon as she became a success on her own? It just wouldn't do to have a former Idol castoff be a big-name star making money for 19's competitors.)
Still, I think a lot of the Idol viewing public is aware of Clay's humanitarian work, including his being a UNICEF Ambassador -- heck, I hear his UNICEF public service announcements on radio all the time --, and his omission from tonight's show (no appearance, no mention), like certain silences, will speak very loudly.

Clay is shown on the main page of the NY Public Radio Show

As we know the goal was met and exceeded but this interview airs today at noon EST.In Another Light
The Leonard Lopate Show
Airs weekdays at noon
Clay Aiken became a household name through American Idol. He's here today to talk about becoming a UNICEF ambassador, and working to bring the everyday lives of children in Afghanistan to the spotlight.
Underreported: Clay Aiken on Afghanistan
Clay Aiken has had plenty of media exposure. But he joins us for today's Underreported to talk about a subject that doesn't get a lot of press: health care and education in Afghanistan. Clay Aiken recently returned from a trip to Afghanistan as a UNICEF Ambassador, where he helped launch the "$100,000 in 10 Days" campaign to support Afghanistan's health centers and schools
As much as I love Clay and what he has been doing for other organizations, I am a bit disappointed in him for not coming to this. This would have been his night to shine and help the kids not only in Africa, but right here in his own country
I can only please one person a day, today is not your day and tomorrow doesn't look good either
Combat, why would you blame Clay for not appearing. I think it's pretty obvious he wasn't invited. Kelly and Carrie were the two chosen for the AI spotlight, with a brief glimpse of Chris Daughtry in one of the montages. I don't think any of the other former Idols were asked to participate.
I think the Idol execs were not so subtly thumbing their noses at Clay by having Annie Lennox perform the song that is widely hailed as the outstanding performance of AI2 (the one Simon Cowell said he thought "could win you this competition" and Paula Abdul said was the best of the entire competition). Clay's performance of that song is clearly recognized as one of the top showstoppers of all the Idol seasons. Had they gotten Art Garfunkel or Simon & Garfunkel to perform it, I would not have taken it as a slap in the face to Clay, but to bring in someone else for that particular song seemed to send a clear message of "Clay who?"

Gris, I'm not blaming him at all. I was just disappointed that he wasn't there. I'm sure he would have been if they allowed him to. My point was that they know he is really into helping children and they don't ask him to come??? WTF??? The only reason Kelly (who has dissed AI) was there was to make an appearance for her upcoming album.
I can only please one person a day, today is not your day and tomorrow doesn't look good either
I'm disappointed too. (Pissed is more like it.) I thought you said you were disappointed in him.
As I've said, to anyone who has at all followed what the Idol stars have been doing since their respective AI seasons or to anyone who pays much attention to UNICEF ambassadors, Simon's and Ryan's silence re Clay last night was probably spoke as loudly as a lot of what they did say.
Some of Clay's work for UNICEF has been in Darfur, and there is plenty of footage of that available from UNICEF. They could easily have used some of that.
It would also have seemed more logical had they used Clay's I Will Carry You on the show instead of Josh Groban's You Raise Me Up. The lyrics and message of I Will Carry You are more in keeping with the idea of our reaching out to help those in need. The lyrics to You Raise Me Up are more of a love song to someone who has inspired you as a lover or role model.
It's also surprising since all the commercial music Clay has recorded to date has been for RCA (19R), so if he had appeared and it had boosted sales of that song (or BOTW) or of his Measure Of A Man album, the Idol people would have been partial beneficiaries. Josh Groban is under contract to one of Clive's competitors.
Something must be really awry in the relationship between Clay and the Idol PTB to make them not want one of their biggest stars to remain a commercial success. Right now they seem to be trying to hype the careers of any and every former Idol contestant who is signed with an RMG label -- except Clay.

Trail running shoes from Brooks Cascadia model man 10: a better shoe to celebrate the first decade of this model can't be beat!
Protective and cushioned for long paths and rough terrain but lithe and fast on any surface, the Cascadia 10 is simply the first choice for trail runners with a vengeance. With 4 Pivot points on the sole, designed to balance the shoe, just as the independent suspension system of an SUV, and the Ballistic Rock Shield in the forefoot, your feet will be flying over unfamiliar terrain. A lightweight, seamless upper fits well with the foot and offers all day comfort, while BioMoGo midsole suitable DNA cushioning not only feet, but also to areas you meet. The updated geometry of the sole allows the foot to remain in place due to the stabilizing fin.
Applied technologies:
-BROOKS DNA cushioning system ™ throughout the foot: always offers the perfect balance between cushioning and boost. The material used is a highly B499 liquid that behaves at the molecular level as millions of small springs. Innovative BROOKS DNA cushioning technology adapts instantly to the specific Biomechanics of the speed and weight of each runner.
The new cushioning technology gives an optimal energy return. In conventional materials the boost decreases gradually as you grind kilometers. Therefore, a shoe at some point feels "flat". With Brooks is exactly the opposite. With BROOKS ™ DNA boost increases with each foot contact with the ground.
To design the specific form of DNA Elements, BROOKS broke several runners and racing styles of consumption. So he found out where is greater than the pressure load in the sole and it is there that he inserted his DNA system.
-The new Super BioMoGo, Brooks DNA compound provides 25% more cushioning and lightness: at every step, BioMoGo DNA suitable cushioning and responsiveness to the specific needs of each runner.
-Element ™ Upper: mesh fabric used for uppers which favors dissipation of heat and moisture through ventilation, building high quality microfibre, provides protection against atmospheric agents, breathable and soft to the touch
-HPR Green Outsole-High Performance Rubber compound outsole: strong and durable in silicate dispersed. Allows for optimal wet/dry traction for high slip resistance and a greener composition.
-BRS ™ Ballistic Rock Shield ™: The BRS system ™ was introduced to reduce the pressure points under the foot. A textile membrane made from kevlar disperses pressure without compromising flexibility and grip.
-Pivot: PIVOT ™ insert adapts to the irregularities of the surface strongly inflecting on them. This greatly reduces the risk of sprains.
-Full-length S-257 midsole: exclusive reduced by 15% to ensure an excellent response in terms of energy and cushioning.
-Specially designed for Upper moisture management.
-Upper with overlays and synthetic Microfiber, which minimize seams.
-Water repellent Uppers
-Anatomical insole estraiubile.
-Rubber outsole with multisegmented Crash Pad to full-length.

Android 4.4 has been rolling out to some Sony Xperia devices, and even some older ones are just getting updated to Android 4.3. If keeping track of which update has arrived for which device has your head spinning, then this new online tool might just help to keep you from going insane.
Keeping track of Android updates is no easy job. Keeping track of manufacturer-specific firmware updates is even more so. While the former is more often than not reported on Android sites like this, the latter, especially minor updates, are usually given a pass. But for Xperia users who are interested or just even curious about the latest firmware available for their device, or someone else's, this website from XDA member pascalbrax can help you find out that information.
The site won't win any design awards, but it tries to get the job done, somewhat. Users can enter pick their device from a long list of Xperia devices, including regional variants, and optionally enter their Customization number. This will then return the version of the latest firmware available for your device. It even offers a link to the exact model for you to bookmark as well as an image that gets automatically updated with the correct build number, which you can then use in sites like forums or blogs.
This firmware check site is still quite rough around the edges, though hopefully it will improve as time goes by. For one, users won't be able to download the exact firmware that they want. For that, they could use a Windows-only tool to check for firmware updates and download them too. But more importantly, it only gives out the firmware version, which is useful for only checking if you're device is behind on updates. To find out other details about the firmware, even something as basic as Android version, users will have to cross-reference it with other sources of information. Not exactly the most convenient process, but it's definitely a start.

POTSDAM, N.Y., Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Air samples collected in Finland for 47 years since the beginning of the Cold War may help unlock answers to climate change, U.S. researchers say.
Scientists at Clarkson University in New York say they've analyzed air samples the Finnish Meteorological Institute began collecting weekly in 1946 as the Soviet Union conducted weapons tests in the arctic during the Cold War's nuclear arms race.
The analysis of more than 2,300 air samples from 1964 through 2010 will allow climate researchers to determine what particles were in the air as temperatures near the Arctic Circle warmed over the last five decades, a university release reported.
"The more data you have, the more chance you have to discover something you didn't know," Philip K. Hopke, director of the university's Center for Air Resources Engineering and Science, said. "Models only have in them what you know about. These kinds of archives are our only lead into the past."
The study will give global climate change modelers a more complete picture of the air near the Arctic Circle over the last 50 years, doctoral student James Laing said.
"The arctic is warming a lot faster than anywhere else on Earth. We were having trouble modeling and explaining why," he said. "We'll be able to see if there are changes in specific types of pollution."
The analysis showed concentrations of black carbon and heavy metals dropped once the Soviet Union collapsed and its metal processing facilities shut down, the researchers said.
Lead levels substantially dropped during the same time period, they said, correlating with the gradual phase-out of leaded gasoline in Europe.

I'm not sure if this is a game issue, or a homebrew issue.
I am using EoCgammapack.
So I downloaded Naruto Gen Ex 3, it worked fine, worked for several times. then yesterday when i loaded it, it didn't recognize the wiimote, the wiimote was on, but when i pressed at to skip the nunchuck screen, it didn't do anything, it looks like the game worked because it went past the screen by default, but after I get to "press A" to start the game, it just doesn't recognize anything.
My other burned games work, and my real games work....
any ideas?
its working now, weird.

The company recently reported a solid fourth quarter in which EPS beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8%. This prompted analysts to revise their estimates higher, sending the stock to a Zacks #2 Rank (Buy).
Company Description
TransAlta Corporation is a wholesale power generator and marketer with operations in Canada, the United States, and Australia. It owns and operates hydro, wind, geothermal, biomass, natural gas- and coal-fired facilities, and related mining operations.
The company also has an energy trading arm that trades energy-related commodities and derivatives. TransAlta is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and has a market cap of $4.5 billion.
Management expects modest EPS growth in 2011. It expects natural gas prices to remain low until 2012, which will keep power prices at 2010 levels.
Nonetheless, analysts raised their estimates following a solid fourth quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2011 is $1.12, representing 17% growth over 2010 EPS. The 2012 estimate is 12% higher at $1.26.
It is a Zacks #2 Rank (Buy) stock.
TransAlta has a solid balance sheet and produces strong cash flows. In the fourth quarter of 2010, for instance, the company generated $309 million in cash flow from operations, a 25.6% increase over the same quarter in 2009.
The company has been using its strong cash flow to steadily raise its dividend. It currently yields an attractive 5.7%.
TransAlta's payout ratio of 120% is well ahead of its target payout ratio of 60%-70%, however, so don't expect the company to significantly raise its dividend anytime soon.
Fourth Quarter Results
Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2010 came in at 39 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents.
Total revenue was up 6.3% while the gross margin expanded from 57.0% to 59.2% of sales in the quarter. This led to a 32.1% jump in operating income.
Also in the quarter, TransAlta began commercial operations of its 69 megawatt (MW), $135 million Ardenville Wind farm and its 54 MW, $100 million expansion of the Kent Hills wind farm. This will help boost EPS in 2011 and beyond.
Shares are trading at 18.1x forward earnings, a premium to the industry average at 14.1x. Its price to book ratio of 1.4 is in-line with its peers, however.

Updated! 07/17/2010
- Default weapon for the next wave will be the last selected gun.
- Increased the first gun(pistol)'s reload speed and enemies spawn speed for the first set of waves to have more action early on and to instantly draw in new players.
- Added sound effects for Sis ally bow and arrow action,
enemies' death and gameover.
- During gameover screen, shooting sound on bg is now gone.
Zombeast Stampede is composed of 25 varied waves of lots of wonderfully designed and animated zombified animals, minibosses and a huge final boss. Each animal has its distinct characteristic and abilites.
Use mouse to aim and shoot at enemies. Pick up the dropped money to upgrade your gun, its stats and hire your family members as allies! Drag your allies to any of the 3 crates to use their powers!
Mom automatically absorbs money drops with her vacuum cleaner.
Dad uses his trusty hammer to repair your tower of crates.
Sister provides offensive support with her arrows!
Be careful! If you lose the crate they're in, you lose that ally too! But you can re-hire them as many times as you want after each wave.
You have 3 crates, upgrade them, repair them, and buy replacement for lost ones.
Can you survive the stampede?

Figgins seeing some time at shortstop
Figgins seeing some time at shortstop
With starter Brendan Ryan just beginning to throw as he returns from a shoulder issue suffered at the end of last season, the Mariners need to figure out all their options heading into four intrasquad games in the next six days before Cactus League action opens March 2.
"We're working Figgy at short," Wedge said. "He'll be working all over the place, but he looked good. He looked comfortable out there. He's played quite a few games at shortstop in his career in the big leagues, so I just want to get him back out there and get him some work.
"I definitely plan on playing him at shortstop some this spring. And we'll bounce Kawasaki around the infield. He's been working at second, short and third."
Figgins played 27 games at shortstop during his eight years with the Angels, the last coming in 2006.

With abundant water, rich soils, and plenty of papaya, coconut, and java plum trees, Kalalau has provided refuge for many outcasts over the years. In 1893 several Hawaiians with leprosy moved their families to the valley to keep from being banished to the dreaded leper colony on Moloka'i. When the deputy sheriff of Waimea came to round up the sick ones, a well-known cowboy and crack shot named Ko'olau refused to go without his wife and son. The standoff lasted into the night, until shots rang out and the deputy fell dead. Hawaii's new provisional government, fresh from deposing Queen Lili'uokalani, feared an open revolt and sent the army after the cowboy. But Ko'olau evaded his pursuers in the cracks and crags of the valley, eventually dying there of his disease. "Ko'olau the Leper" became a modern folk hero of Hawaii.
Decades later another group of social outcasts sought peace in the valley—young hippies who spent years living off the land and communing with nature until eventually they were rousted out by the law. At a bend in the trail I meet one hiker of that generation and ask him if he'd been to Kalalau. "I was there in the 1960s," he said with a warm smile. "It was pristine. Everybody ran around naked. But hey, it was the '60s!"
When I finally reach the magical valley with its folded cliffs and sinuous beach, the vibe is more frat party than nudist retreat. Dozens of campers, some apparently long-term, are scattered among the trees behind the beach. A group of college kids have a boombox blaring, and a woman with bright red hair is shaving her legs in the valley's famous waterfall. Bags of garbage, old coolers, and discarded tents are strewed about the campsites and sea caves, waiting for work crews to haul them out by helicopter—the greatest expense for the cash-strapped park.
"The challenge of managing Kalalau is its isolation, which is also its attraction," state parks administrator Dan Quinn told me later. "If we'd get more people carrying out what they carry in, it would be a better experience for everyone."
As I watch the sun melt into the sea, a passing shower uncorks a magnificent rainbow. How could humans trash such an earthly paradise? The fictional Shangri-la, as portrayed in James Hilton's 1933 novel Lost Horizon, was inspired by the Buddhist concept of Shambhala, a mythical place of peace and tranquillity reached by enlightened beings. Maybe we aren't there yet.
On my last day in Kalalau, however, I meet someone who seems well along the way. A young outlaw with a massive backpack bounds down the last stretch of trail as I'm starting the long climb out. He drops his burden at my feet, sprawls on the grass, and tells me his name is Eric. He's planning to stay for two months in a cave up the valley, foraging, meditating, and "getting centered" with the universe. "You go back up that valley and there are rock platforms, taro fields, sacred altars all the way up," he says. "It was a metropolis in there! It's the land of the menehune, the ancient ones. It's primal!"
Eric is bright, articulate, and seems utterly at peace with himself and the world. We chat for a while, and then he picks up his 75-pound pack as if it were full of feathers and lopes down the trail, singing a joyful tune. "Enjoy your journey on planet Earth!" he shouts in parting. And for the rest of the day, I do.

no way he won that without briabery
Still wonder what America's thinking, voting that guy as their favorite, and Rupert as second favorite. Eh, whatever...
And finally, Jerri gets cheers and applause from the audience! Only three things I wanted to see here. One was Sandra winning. Second one was Russell get burnt by jury and hopefully the audience too. And third was to hopefulyl see Jerri finally get some love. All of them happened! Seriously, the evening couldn't get any better!
And it's really sweet, and also tear-jerking, to see them pay tribute to Jenn Lyon.
Well, I figured Russell would win but didn't think Rupert would that close. Not that I don't think the fan vote is BS. And Russell should realize if America had the say in who got voted off and who won, he would have been long gone both seasons.
That was nice they paid tribute to Jenn.
I'm glad Probst called some of the contestants out who looked like they were done on day 1. I wish they could have had about 10 different people in the cast.
Erik had the dumbest move for me because who in their right mind, when you have guaranteed immunity, are the strongest one left, and the first on the pecking order, gives it up?
love it!!Originally Posted by AsIs;3905107;

Russell wins the prize for America's Favorite player. Awesome.
Do we need any further proof that this show is only about entertainment?
If you need lessons in morals, go to church.
If you need to learn how to get along with people, see a counselor.
If you want to be magnanimous and help others, join Habitat for Humanity.
If you want pure entertainment, Russell's your man.
Congratulations, Russell.
You deserve it.
This isnt the Sound of freaking Music were watching.......sdl
Great season. So happy Russelll didn't win and even Probts was tired of him. Go into oblivion (until next AS) little troll.
Not really an exciting preview for next season, but I loved when Survivor was held in Guatemala and the Amazon so glad they're going back to that neck of the woods.
Overall a somewhat decent season. Not a big fan of the AS seasons as whole, and while I liked FvsF better, this one wasn't as bad as the first one. Hopefully there's not any in the near future.
I hope they don't give Russell an AS spot, if they have another one. There is no way he will get past the first boot, so it'd be such a waste. Actually, I hope they don't bring anyone over from the previous season because, thanks to Russell, that person would probably get voted off for fear that they're a little weasel.
Until next season...
I voted for Erik. Russ looked ignorant. If he wasn't so stubborn and arrogant he would have seen that Jeff was trying to help him understand that the show has multiple components. Russ can't be bothered to understand the game so it's no surprise he has lost twice.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Relm is Shiva, Locke is Sketch (wearing the costume I made my brother in 2008)
Costume is made from either linen or linen-look-alike from Joanns (been so long since I bought it). For the top I originally made a corset out of a very dark purple, but it came out too big and I didn't have time to fix it. I instead made a top from the top part of a dress pattern out of some purple silk a friend gave me.
The vest, sleeves, and belt all have hand beading. All the trim is store bought bias tape. The boots started out as white and I painted them. My wig is the same I used for Quistis.
- Personal Thoughts:
- This costume was a long time coming. One of my first costumes ever was Celes for Otakon 2004. It was awful. Celes is my favorite character ever, so last year I finally decided to cosplay her again, but it just kept being put on the back shelf. Finally after having all the materials together for several months, I finally put it together for PortCon.

There is really something wrong if this can't be brought to market because of such commercial nonsense. We're supposed to have the best system in the world, and we stuble over pebbles. Pharma has some obligations also..
Steve Edelman, MSN/FNP-BC
It is an unconscionable, unethical set of actions on the part of these two companies to walk away from a cure because they only get 50% of the sale! Half a hog is much better than none: Add to that, the benefit to the many who will otherwise suffer or die because of an all-or-none philosophy and it leaves one with the bitter taste of greed that just can't be washed away by rhetoric. Are the players going to do the right thing? Stay tuned....
Dr. Victor Ostrower
Didn't Schering bundle ribavirin with its interferon and not allow it to be purchased alone so as to preclude its being used with Roche's interferon in the '90s? I thought that was unconscionable at the time, and I think that many others shared that sentiment. I suspect that that strategy led many to choose the Roche product when they could. The market can have power, and the drug companies should keep that in mind as they nurture their brands in approaching such matters..
Big Pharma has a different "mission" than frontline Healthcare Professionals. I am being sarcastic about their selfish, one-note tune: Money, Money, Money, Money. (They might want to touch base with Pink Floyd) Big Pharma is short-sighted and greedy. In situations such as this, I feel they are acting criminally by withholding a potential cure to hundreds of thousands of human beings. I am certain if one of their board members or the CEO was infected with HCV, that cure would be rushed to them whether it was FDA approved or not..
Amjad Salamat
It would be really a pity if the drugs can't realise their potential, I think the govt should intervene here.

Pogrebnyak opens contract talks
Pavel Pogrebnyak has opened discussions with Fulham over whether or not he will stay at the club next season.
Pogrebnyak, 28, has made a big impression since arriving at Craven Cottage in January from Stuttgart on a deal until the end of the season.
The Russian striker has netted five times in seven Premier League starts - although injury has ruled him out of the most recent two fixtures - and boss Martin Jol is eager to keep him in London.
"Yes, the negotiations about my contract with Fulham have already begun," Pogrebnyak is quoted as saying by sport.mail.ru. "My agent has already talked to the management of the club. I think there's a big chance that I will stay in England.
"Me, the coach and the management, we are all solid on the question regarding my future."
Aston Villa have also been linked with a move for Pogrebnyak.

Easy Money It's Not
Earn up to 24% with real estate tax-lien investments -- they're "virtually 100% risk-free," claims one Web promoter. Late-night television and Internet ads regularly pitch these promises.
Suspicious? You should be. Tax-lien certificates, which are legal claims for unpaid real estate taxes, are sold at auction by counties and municipalities. Much of the bidding has become so competitive that it's tough to earn the hyped rates of return. Insurance companies, banks, pension funds, and agents working on behalf of individual investors dominate the market. What's more, some owners may have skipped out on their taxes for good reason -- the real estate may not be worth what's owed. Investors could end up with a building or land that is worthless or an environmental hazard.
Still, investing in tax liens can be a smart way to make returns of 5% to 15%. That's if -- and it's a big if -- an investor understands state property tax laws, knows local real estate markets, and can master the often complex tax-lien auction procedures. "It's possible to get respectable returns, but if you cut corners on your due diligence, you're going to run into trouble," says Joel Moskowitz, a former environmental law partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in Los Angeles and author of The 16% Solution: How To Get High Interest Rates in a Low Interest World With Tax Lien Certificates ($26.95, Andrews and McMeel).
BIDDING TIME. Here's how tax liens pay off for investors: When a property owner fails to pay real estate taxes, the county or city places a lien on the property. Governments then auction off the liens, called tax certificates, to investors. In effect, the buyer is fronting the money to the government on behalf of the property owner. In return, the buyer has the right to future payments of the overdue taxes, plus penalties and interest for a certain period of time, which may run anywhere from two months to seven years. If the property owner doesn't pay, the lien holder gets title to the property, even jumping ahead of the first mortgage holder. After some legal costs, about $500, and an amount of time that varies by state, the lien holder can foreclose, evict the former owner, and sell the property. About half of the liens are paid off in the first year, with some 5% going into foreclosure.
More than 20 states authorize tax-lien certificate sales. State laws dictate the sale-and-foreclosure process, but some counties in certain states can still slightly modify the rules. In general, most counties have an annual sale and follow one of three auction procedures.
In one method, the state sets a high interest rate, which is essentially the opening bid. Would-be lien buyers then bid by offering to accept a lower rate on the lien. For example, at a recent Pinellas County (Fla.) auction, investors bid down Florida's 18% rate to an average of 3%. "Some liens were bid down to 0.5%," says Duane Zussy, the county's deputy tax collector.
As an incentive, Florida guarantees a minimum 5% total return regardless of the winning bid. So why doesn't the auction stop at 5%? By bidding the rate lower, investors are betting that the lien will be paid off in a few months and they'll earn a quick 5%. For example, assume an investor bid 3% on a $10,000 lien. The 3% rate kicks in only after 20 months. If the lien is paid off sooner, the state's 5% rate applies. So if the lien is paid off in three months, the investor would earn $500.
The second method works like a bond sale. The interest rate is fixed, and the investor who agrees to pay the most over the amount of taxes owed gets the lien. Colorado, which uses this method, sets its rate nine points above the Federal Reserve's discount rate as of Sept. 1 each year (rounded to the nearest whole percentage point). Currently, the state offers 10% for tax-lien certificates. Take that same $10,000 lien, and suppose an investor bought it for $10,500: That's a 5% premium. It would take six months to recoup the premium. If the lien were paid in 11 months, the investor would earn $917 in interest, but remember, the lien cost $500 over face value, so the net return is $417, or 4.17%. If the lien were paid in 24 months, the investor would net $1,500, a total of 15%, or 7.5% a year. Liens under $5,000 are sold at face value, says Gary Stoker, an accountant for Larimer County in Fort Collins, Colo.
Finally, some states, such as Iowa, keep the interest rate and lien price constant. Investors bid down the percentage of property the lien holder will own in the event of a foreclosure. In these auctions, institutions often bid the ownership percentage down to less than 1%. Once the ownership percentage is determined, the county uses a lottery to distribute the liens. That means investors can't choose a specific property they want -- they only can hope they're offered it through the lottery. The winning lien holder becomes a partner with the property owner. So on that same $10,000 lien in Iowa, the investor earned the fixed rate per month of 2%, or $200, and 24% a year, or $2,400, for up to two years. Unless the property is a gem, it's better if the lien is paid rather than go into foreclosure.
There's also an "off the shelf" approach. That's when counties allow investors to avoid the bidding process by going to the county tax collector and buying tax liens that failed to sell at auction. In those situations, investors pay only the amount of taxes owed and automatically get the state-mandated interest rate. Arizona, which has an annual rate of 16%, is one of the states that let investors buy leftover tax liens.
HANDING IT OFF. When investing in tax-lien certificates, you can hire an agent or do it yourself. For a $25,000 minimum investment, agents buy liens on behalf of an individual investor. They travel nationwide, do local research, attend tax-lien sales, and handle foreclosures. These agents charge hefty upfront fees, as much as 20% of the amount invested. Net of fees, these promoters say they can earn 6% to 10% a year for their clients. Such agents make a killing if one of the properties for which the investor holds a lien goes into foreclosure. If the property is sold, the agent receives one-third of the sale proceeds after expenses.
Be forewarned: These tax-lien agents aren't regulated. Since many started out in financial services, you can still try a background check. Call state security regulators and ask for the Central Registration Depository record to see if an agent has had trouble with regulators. You should also ask the agent for referrals from other investors. Do not give the agent your money outright. Instead, deposit it in an escrow account at a reputable bank and have all checks written from that account to the agent and the county. Have your lawyer review all documents. You want to make sure, for example, that your money is invested individually rather than in a pool with other investors. Otherwise, make sure the pool is registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
Buying tax liens on your own takes much more work. To help with your research, Internet sites such as taxsalelists.com, taxliens.org, and taxliens.com sell books that are chock-full of state laws and CDs that are filled with lists of upcoming sales and statistics on properties. You can get this information for free, or for a nominal fee, from the county treasurer or tax assessor's office.
When buying tax liens, it's best to stay close to home. That way, you can investigate the properties you're interested in and familiarize yourself with one state's property-tax laws. You'll want to know how the local process works, so attend a few auctions before you make your first bid. And try to find sales in rural communities, since you're less likely to be competing against institutional investors. "If you're up against the big guys, try to bid on the liens they aren't interested in, like mobile homes or small parcels of raw land," says Dana Cook, a retired bank regulator and tax-lien investor in Dallas.
Once you've determined what kind of tax lien you will buy, get the list of liens from the county tax assessor's office. Parcel numbers identify property type, and when you know that number, you can find out square footage, date built, registered owner, and tax-appraised value from county records. Be sure there are no other liens on the property. Sometimes, counties misassign parcel numbers to properties. So to make sure you're bidding on the right one, do a drive-by inspection.
Even with the most diligent research, you may still run into a dead end. David Hoshour, an investment adviser in Charlotte, N.C., has found that many "of the tax liens were no longer available by the time of the sale because the taxes were paid off."
Despite the extra effort required to buy tax liens, they're an opportunity to earn decent returns in the current low-interest environment. Just make sure your spend enough time learning the ropes before you invest your money.

SIGHTINGS of the image of Jesus have been reported all over the globe and in all shapes and forms.
Frances Pennline claimed to have seen the face of Jesus in a cloud in Florida in 1973, while residents of Port Germein in South Australia claimed in 2000 that a shadow cast on a caravan park fence resembled the messiah. Bangalore baker Shella Anthony spotted Jesus burnt into a chapati in 2002.
Most recently the son of God appeared in the lid of a jar of Marmite in Rhondda, Wales, in May.
And it's not just Jesus - in 1996 in Clearwater, Florida, an image of the Virgin Mary was said to have appeared in the glass façade of a finance building. In Florida in 2004, a toasted cheese sandwich said to bear an image of the Virgin Mary sold at auction for around £15,000. The Virgin Mary has also been spotted in a fence panel in Coogee, Australia in 2003, a hospital in Milton, Massachusetts, in June 2003 and a felled tree in Passaic, New Jersey, in 2003, on a rock in Ghana, an underpass in Chicago, a lump of firewood in Janesville, Wisconsin, a chocolate factory in Fountain Valley, California and a pizza pan in Houston, Texas.

"We walked the community three different times," he says.
First they rang doorbells and told homeowners about the rate increase. After that, they calculated what it would cost to fund a bond measure with local property taxes and sue for eminent domain. They estimated $11 million, which worked out to about $60 a month per homeowner. Then the group printed their calculations on a flier and took it door-to-door.
Once everyone was aware of the tax increase, Graham put his background in PR to work. Walkers climbed porches again, this time collecting only the names of those who were in favor of the bond measure.
"We looked for anyone who was influential—business families, prominent families," he recalls. "We asked them if they'd be willing to put their names on another flier."
Because it's such a small town, and so many people know each other, that strategy worked well. Graham recalls that when activists broadcast the third flier with 300 family names on it, homeowners scanned the list for names they knew. After the third walkthrough, a majority of the town voted to do something extraordinary—give themselves a $600-a-year property tax hike to buy their pipes.
But the water company fought back.
Nearly 10 years later, Evan Jacobs with California American Water says Felton's water infrastructure, though locally owned, will continue to have costly maintenance issues. The reason: many of the pipes serving the mountain town were laid in the late 1800s.
"They are not saving money," he says, referring to a rate hike of 53 percent proposed by San Lorenzo Valley Water District, the local company that took over Felton's water, earlier this year.
"Now they're paying the acquisition cost and facing another cost because of infrastructure," he says.
According to Graham—and confirmed by current SLVWD manager James Mueller—the water-treatment facility was in need of major upgrades when the local company seized it.
"Specifically, there were leaks that had been reported as leaks by consumers for years and were not identified," Mueller says.
Jacobs doesn't contest this, but points to the age of the infrastructure, coupled with Felton's remote wooded terrain.
"There are a lot of steep hillsides and redwood trees, which love to wrap their roots around water pipes and crack them," he says. Cal American's rate increase was partially proposed to fix one of the two main water lines feeding the treatment plant, he explains.
Aging infrastructure is a common problem facing small rural towns served by private water companies, Jacobs says. Without public subsidies, private companies are forced to charge the actual cost of maintaining these crumbling systems.
So, according to Jacobs, Cal American tried to inform the Felton group that their local bid wouldn't really save any money in the long run.
But according to Graham, it was more than that—an aggressive PR strategy that included deceptive websites, astroturf groups and push polls. Graham paints it as a costly example of the company ignoring what its ratepayers obviously wanted—to break free.
In a confidential PR plan, shared with the Bohemian by Felton FLOW, Cal American states: "Our strategy is to make the road a rocky one for proponents."
