The Fast for Families is in keeping with a long biblical tradition of public fasting that seeks to move the conscience of a nation while openly confessing our total dependence on God. Esther and Mordecai held a public fast when the Jewish people were in peril. The prophet Daniel fasted to receive clear direction from God about the future of the nation. In modern history, Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Desmund Tutu and countless others fasted publicly to draw attention to national challenges. Recently, Pope Francis asked for a global fast for peace in Syria. Public fasting is a discipline that reminds leaders and nations that there are things that need urgent attention.
To be clear, the winds are changing! The arguments that economists and business leaders should call for immigration reform on fiscal grounds is gaining ground. In addition, the report from the Bipartisan Policy Center stating that common-sense immigration reform would both help the economy and contribute to reducing the deficit has made a significant impact. Increasingly the spurious economic arguments that create zero-sum winners and losers are falling away. There is growing consensus that now is the time for immigration reform. The biblical and moral arguments of practicing hospitality, while not imposing undue hardships on citizens, are winning the day. Bipartisan efforts in the Senate and recent public remarks by both Speaker Boehner and President Obama signal that we might be close to a resolution. We are fasting so that all our leaders, Democrats and Republicans, will find the political will to have common-sense immigration reform cross the legislative finish line.
The significance of an Advent fast cannot be overstated. Advent is the season where Christians wait expectantly for Christ. Christ who is the embodiment of, "Peace on Earth and good will to all." We await Christ who taught us to the parable of the Good Samaritan and the love of neighbor, friend, stranger, and even enemies. Christ who came to earth to manifest the love and grace of God. The Fast for Families, begun by immigrants themselves, is helping to change the winds. We will fast during Advent because we believe the words of Scripture that "prayer availeth much."
This Advent Season the fast started by immigrants will be offered to the nation, with thousands joining from all over the nation. A group of faith leaders, including Rev. Jim Wallis and myself, will continue the fast. Many faith leaders and pastors will be coming to join us in the tent across from the Capitol to fast and pray. Each day, groups of us will fast and pray in the Capitol Hill tent, welcoming visitors and fellow-fasters who wish to join us. So please join us wherever you are this Advent Season in prayer and fasting. Pray for a vote on immigration reform. Pray for 11 million people and their families. Pray for a miracle. Prayer and righteous action work.
The Rev. Gabriel Salguero is president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition .

Marc Ryan Arevalo | Gear Patrol's New Contributing Editor
From the Editor – I'm excited today to introduce one of our two new contributing editors to Gear Patrol. Marc Ryan Arevalo is located right here in New York City where Gear Patrol is published. We're excited to have him join the team so take the time to email and welcome him. You should look forward to the knowledge he brings to the table from being an outdoor zealot. Let me avoid any further formality here by allowing Marc to introduce himself.
Hello, my name is Marc and I'm addicted to Gear Patrol. I started my subscription because I wanted to win free stuff, and I did. After that, I found myself checking the website everyday then finally two or three times a day while I was at work… that's when I knew I had a problem. Not caring that I would get an email alert about new posts, I had to read the witty humor and learn about the latest gadgets before anybody else. When Gear Patrol said they where hiring, I felt compelled to apply. A month later, here I am confessing my addiction and introducing myself as the newest member of the Gear Patrol team.
So, who is Marc? Well, I'm a financial analyst and originally from Virginia, having moved to Manhattan about 8 years ago for college. After college I got a job at a major financial services firm and haven't looked back. A year ago I moved to (gasp) New Jersey. But, before you dismiss me as bridge and tunnel trash, there are a couple of benefits to the Garden State. One, rent is more managable. Two, I have a car and therefore a way to get out of the city and do the things I like to do.
What occupies my time? You can see from my first post that I surf, having picked it up late last summer and surfed until the cold simply made it unbearable. When I'm not surfing you'll find me hiking every chance I get. Otherwise, I'm on either one of of two vehicles: riding my bike out on 10-20 miles rides or my '07 Mini Cooper S named beaster (love that car).
Eric asked me what my dream gear would be and I had to say it would be
Allison Stokke um… I mean a Ferrari Enzo. Cliche? Perhaps. Incredible (on either account)? Undoubtedly.
Anyway, hope you enjoy what I'm bringing to the table and encourage you to help feed my addiction by sharing posts, commenting and subscribing.
Marc can be reached for questions or comments via email at any time. If you want to read all of Marc's posts, consider bookmarking his post thread.

The mayor of Annapolis called police after he saw a man urinating from a parking deck Tuesday afternoon, the Baltimore Sun reports.
According to a court document, Mayor Joshua Cohen saw a man, his pants around his ankles, standing at the edge of a third-floor parking deck and urinating off the side and onto a mulched area below.
When Cohen asked the man what he was doing, the man responded, "Following the call of the wild." The man then cursed at Cohen, he said.
"If it would have been three in the morning, I might have looked the other way," Cohen told the Baltimore Sun. "But it was three in the afternoon, in broad daylight."
As the man drove away, Cohen called police and asked the parking attendant to keep the gate closed until they arrived. When police got to the scene, they issued a citation for public urination to Richard H. Vermillion, 68.
Vermillion denied the mayor's claim, saying, "If I had to follow the call of the wild, I would tell you," according to the court document.
Cohen told the Baltimore Sun that he hopes prosecutors pursue the charges, and that he's willing to testify in court.

A really nice Magnolia oolong. Delicately soft, sweet, and pleasantly floral.
The sweetness reminds me of nectar. The floral notes develop as I sip, and there are notes of fruit in there too, something between apple and melon. Nice.
Subsequent infusions became more flavorful, the floral tones became sharper and more focused. Notes of grapefruit are tasted … the sweeter notes of grapefruit, not so much the tart or bitter of grapefruit.
Overall, a really pleasant Oolong.

Orange unveils juicy figures
Mobile phone use has soared, boosting Orange's fortunes
Shares in mobile phone giant Orange have jumped after quarterly subscriber figures roundly beat expectations.
Britain's youngest mobile phone company also outlined plans for new high-tech ventures such as phones with Internet access.
The company said 430,000 new customers had signed up to its service in the second quarter of the year, outstripping market forecasts by 45,000.
Its announcement came as new figures showed about two million Britons bought mobile phones in the second quarter, bringing the total number in the UK to almost 17 million.
Orange is Britain's third biggest mobile telephone company and now has 2.9m customers.
Although it made its first profit only last year, Orange has grown rapidly and in February announced plans to create 2,000 jobs over two years as the mobile phone market grows.
Announcing the latest figures, the group forecast that half the population would own cellphones by 2001.
Bosses have promised it will be the first British cellphone group to develop integrated data, Internet and electronic commerce capability.
Net service idea
Orange said that in the fourth quarter it would launch an Internet Service Provider, provisionally called Orange World.
It also plans to start marketing a handset with Internet access, made by Finnish manufacturer Nokia at the same time and boost data speeds over its network.
Managing director Hans Snook said: "The wire-free future started with voice. We are now extending it to data, Internet and e-commerce services."
Orange says it is able to start offering third generation mobile services ahead of its three rivals partly because it has more base stations and runs its services over a higher frequency network.
Other planned services include videophones, with a commercial launch due in the first quarter of next year.
The group has also started selling a Motorola mobile phone which allows customers to use one phone in Europe, Asia and North America.
Telecoms regulator Oftel has threatened to introduce price controls over the industry to ensure the best deals for customers.

Report: Iraqi scientists say weapons were dismantled in 1990s
Six months into the war against Iraq, and the U.S. has not yet shown evidence of alleged weapons of mass destruction - an allegation which prompted the Bush administration to launch its war on Saddam's regime.
Time magazine interviewed Iraqi weapons scientists and other former government officials for the last few months, and has concluded that they all made similar claims - - that Iraq's once massive unconventional-weapons program was destroyed or dismantled in the 1990s and never re-built.
Moreover, the claims stated that officials destroyed or never kept the documents that would prove it; that the "shell games" Saddam Hussein played with United Nations inspectors were designed to conceal his progress on conventional weapons systems such as missiles, air defenses, radars and not biological or chemical programs; and that even Saddam may not have known what he actually had or didn't have.

I think what's odd to me about it in these cases is that I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who could write excellent general-audience profiles of Bird, from a perspective that's maybe more in the music field, most of them probably cheaper than regular NYT Mag contributors -- but that gap doesn't get filled often, does it? Beyond like SFJ and Kelefa and a few newspaper people. It's not that I think music can only be written about my music writers, but it always feels like there's an unnecessary disconnect on this front, a weird lack of bridging between the music realm and the general-audience stuff.

It also didn't help that I downloaded a live show from archive.org and there was some background audience chatter. You can hear a guy saying "Oh yeah, they played that last night in Philly" or something
I 've never been to one of their concerts, but if it turns out that j)hn has a bitchin' light show, I'm really going to have to stop listening to his music.

None of them feel compelled to do the things that actually famous musicians did in order to get famous, like create an appealing persona and deliver it to a fascinated reporter.
Like, oh, Amy Winehouse?

Iowa City IA (SPX) Jun 22, 2015
If you've ever viewed YouTube videos of infants and toddlers using iPads, then you know the answer is a resounding "Yes." But how are they using them? To answer that question and others, a team of University of Iowa researchers set out to study more than 200 YouTube videos. Their paper is published in the proceedings of the CHI 2015 conference, the most prestigious in the field of human-computer interaction.
In the paper they write that their goal was to "provide a window into how these children are using tablets through an analysis of relevant YouTube videos." What they found was information that supports "opportunities for research and starting points for design."
"By age two, 90 percent of the children in the videos had a moderate ability to use a tablet," says Juan Pablo Hourcade, associate professor of computer science in the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and lead author of the study. "Just over 50 percent of 12-to-17-month-old children in the videos had a moderate ability."
For the purposes of the study, Hourcade and his colleagues defined "moderate ability" as needing help from an adult to access apps, but being able to use them while displaying some difficulty with basic interactions. He says that to his knowledge, other researchers have conducted surveys of the prevalence of tablet use by young children, however, the UI study is the first to study how infants and toddlers are actually using the devices.
Hourcade says he was inspired to use YouTube videos by another researcher who analyzed online videos of computer use by people with motor impairments. He says YouTube enabled his group to conduct the research without having to ask infants and toddlers to use tablets, something that some pediatricians discourage.
"On the other hand, we know that infants and toddlers are using iPads and other devices because we've seen the videos recorded by their parents, and surveys confirm it is happening. It's happened really quickly - before we could get out and arrange for more conventional studies," he says.
Hourcade acknowledged the drawbacks of using unsolicited YouTube videos, such as not knowing the exact ages of the children pictured and that the children pictured were selected by their caregivers and may not be representative of the larger society. However, he says the researchers were able to estimate the ages of the children (two-thirds of the videos included the age) and observe a clear progression of successful performance linked to age that is consistent with developmental milestones.
"One of the biggest differences we found is that when children turn one year old, they switch from using both hands and all their fingers to interact with the tablet to using an index finger--which is what adults do," he says.
He says he hopes that the study and others that follow will influence the development of apps that encourage interactive education for infants and toddlers. The apps he envisions might be similar to the social and interactive-like children's programs currently found on public television.
"We may be able to use research on what makes certain children's educational television programs beneficial as a starting point and go on from there," he says.
Hourcade's colleagues in the study include: Sarah L. Mascher, UI Informatics undergraduate; David Wu, Belin-Blank Center Secondary Student Training Program student; and Luiza Pantoja, Informatics doctoral student. The paper, titled "Look, My Baby Is Using an iPad! An Analysis of YouTube Videos of Infants and Toddlers Using Tablets," was presented at the 2015 CHI (Computers and Human Interaction) conference.

Review - Talisker Skye
Talisker is the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, the largest and most northerly island of the Inner Hebrides. It was founded in 1830 by two local brothers, Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, after they decided to move to Skye from the Isle of Eigg and convert Talisker House and its surrounding buildings in to a legal distillery. The distillery is currently owned by Diageo.
Talisker is located on the shores of Loch Harport, close to the village of Carbost, in the shadow of the imposing Cuillin Hills. Despite its remote location, Talisker is Diageo's most visited distillery and one of the most visited distilleries in Scotland with over 60,000 visitors per year. It has a current annual production capacity of 3 million litres through five copper pot stills and rare traditional worm tubs which add to the distillery's charm.
Our tasting notes
This whisky is designed to show a balance of distillery character and the influence of wood. The Talisker spirit is peated to around 20PPM and shows lots of fresh grassy and peppery notes plus a characteristic saltiness. The use of ex-bourbon casks that have freshly charred shells and heavily charred ends lends sweet honey vanilla notes.
The spirit is a bright autumnal gold and, on the nose, the sweet honey and vanilla characters from the casks are upfront and unapologetic. Further nosing reveals depths of perfumery florals and chilli pepper plus only the slightest hint of smoke. The palate quite nicely matches the nose with similar characters but here the smoke is more than just a hint. The finish is moderate but moreish being both sweet and drying with lots of vanilla and a linger of smokiness.
What's the verdict?
This is a spirit that could act as a great entry level smoky whisky for those who like sweeter whiskies and possible even bourbons. It is not overpoweringly smoky nor overwhelmingly complex, but does offer enough to make it assertive for the first timer. It also is suitably priced not to daunt the first timer either. It is not a whisky for the peat-heads out there but nor does it claim to be.
We would hope this could be a whisky to introduce a new generation of drinkers to Scottish island smokiness. This whisky rightfully sits next to its brothers, Storm and Port Ruighe, by showing a fruitier and fresher side of Talisker distillery yet maintaining that family characteristic that makes Talisker individual.

A youth who spent time in prison after turning to crime to try and make money to support her family has turned her life around - thanks to Crystal Palace FC.
Zuleika Williams never thought she would do anything to do with sport but during her time in prison last year she became focused on bettering herself.
She is now working in administration for the Eagles as well as training to become a football coach.
Zuleika said: "I made a stupid mistake, trying to do the right thing by doing the wrong thing.
"If I had not found out about the course I would be sitting at home on jobseekers, but I'm not, I'm out working six days a week and I love it."
When she completed her sentence in November last year, the probation service recommended the Aspire to Engage Employability course.
The course is run by the football club's foundation and supported by a grant to Croydon Council from the City Bridge Trust.
Over the 12 week course she completed her level one football coaching badge and is planning on doing more.
The 21-year-old juggles her job with caring for her grandad, a task made easier by support she receives from Aspire to Engage.
She said: "I don't think they know how much they have helped me.
"They have helped me with my confidence and time management and just being relaxed with life.
Aspire to Engage supports young people through structured activities around football coaching, sport, media and culture.
Young people receive one to one mentoring and counselling as well as access to volunteering opportunities through the project's links with the football industry and grassroots community organisations.

Editorial: Put heat on e-cigarettes and 'vaping'
Slapping tobacco sin taxes onto e-cigarettes could help slow the startling growth in new young users.
Seattle Times Editorial
THE demise of widespread cigarette use is one of the great public-health successes of the last century.
Since then-U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry 50 years ago released a definitive report on the dreadful harm of cigarettes, national smoking rates plunged from 42 percent to 18 percent. For the demographic most coveted by Big Tobacco — teenagers — daily cigarette usage is one-third of the peak rate in 1976.
But a similar wake-up call is needed for nicotine's sneaky new attack: E-cigarettes are suddenly the cool kid on campus, with candy flavors, low prices and the trendy nickname of "vaping."
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey found that e-cigarette use among high schoolers nationwide more than doubled 10 percent between 2011 and 2012, with many skipping right past traditional cigarettes. A King County Public Health survey found that 12 percent of high school seniors smoked cigarettes, while 5 percent smoked e-cigarettes.
A national prevention strategy is badly needed, to bat back marketing such as the sexy e-cigarette ad in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition.
But acting locally first, a bill in the state Legislature is smartly proposing to extend existing tobacco sin taxes to e-cigarettes.
This idea, proposed by state Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, and Sen. Andy Hill, R-Redmond, is a no-brainer. Nicotine is equally addictive regardless of the delivery device. Tobacco taxes recognize the public cost of addiction.
It is also a no-brainer because tobacco use is price sensitive; cost affects demand. Currently, e-cigarettes are taxed as retail sales. $8 can buy one pack of cigarettes or about five packs worth of e-cigarette liquid. No wonder this is hot with the kids: It's a cheap buzz.
Adults claim e-cigarettes are healthier than cigarettes, and should get a tax break. That's like arguing a cheeseburger is more healthful than a double cheeseburger. As long as taxpayers are helping pay the tab for an addictive vice, users should pay for the sin.

NANOTEC partners UNITAR to promote nanotechnology safety awareness in Thailand
|(Nanowerk News) The National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) has signed a collaborative agreement with the United Nation Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) to promote training and capacity building for the development of nano-safety pilot project in Thailand.
Sirirurg Songsivilai "The phase 1 of the public awareness campaign will be for 18 months" said Prof. Sirirurg Songsivilai, Executive Director, NANOTEC. "We will work with our local partners to undertake training and capacity building initiatives to support public awareness of nano-safety. It is important that the public feels a sense of ownership if this public awareness campaign is to be successful".
"Both NANOTEC and UNITAR recognize the importance of nano-safety as a key tool for protecting the health of people and the environment in Thailand" said Carlos Lopes, Executive Director, UNITAR. "In order to be effective, we must address human resource development issues regarding nano-safety and the broader need to strengthen national capacities for management of toxic and dangerous products".
The training and capacity building projects will cover the following activities:

Franklin reconsiders retirement plans
Franklin reconsiders retirement plans
Franklin told reporters on Friday afternoon that he has reconsidered his plan to retire following the 2011 season, though he quite specifically emphasized that the choice was unrelated to his trip home this week. The right-hander spent two days at his home in Oklahoma to tend to a personal matter. He was back in the clubhouse on Friday and is available to pitch.
Now in his fourth season as a Cardinal, Franklin has said for quite some time now that he expected to hang it up when his current contract ends -- after the 2011 season. But after consulting with a number of people, including Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter, he reopened the door to playing in '12 and possibly beyond.
It's not a given that he will play after next year, but it's no longer a given that he won't, either.
"Rethinking means it's still going to be a family decision," Franklin said. "If they say, 'No daddy, we want you to stay home,' then I'll be done."
Franklin, who turns 38 next spring, is 6-2 with a 3.55 ERA and 24 saves in 26 chances. He has 37 strikeouts, eight walks and six home runs allowed in 58 1/3 innings.
"[I've been] talking with family, friends, ex-players, Hall of Famers," Franklin said. "Me and [Kyle] McClellan went over to Sutter's house the other day. I was talking to him about it. And he said, 'You've got to keep playing.' ... If I'm still able to get guys out and still have good stuff, I probably will. But if I stink, I have a 20.00 ERA, then it's time to shut it down. I'm not going to go sign a split contract or something like that."

Well just got back from a week with these guys and have to say I loved it.
The trails were mint, a mix of downhill, technical singletrack, flowing singletrack and rockgardens and super flat out ridge lines, tech slick rock and a load of sessioning and riding.
Couldnt be more happy with the week.
I have to admit to a degree of trepadation after the other topic on here slagged them off, but me and my four friends were looking forward to a break at the end of the year and had a blast.
The area has some awesome trails and these vary massively, we were in the hands of Ash who was our main guide for the week and as we talked a good game when we arrived he tested us on the trails that he knew to see what we could and couldnt ride.
I have to Say that Alan and Mary were fine, nothing like the descriptions in the previous thread, they both just looked after us in the background so to speak which is fine by me. But a pleasant couple.
Oh abnd we got picked up at the airport ok, the bikes were packed pretty carefully in the van, the guides had massive tool kits and first aid kit, we had walkie talkies that the last man always carried.
Ash and Dave looked after the riding which was good because both are good riders and they enjoyed riding with a group who could ride fast downhill and tackle all the obstacles they could find.
Fuengirola is a nice place, Malaga is awesome and well worth a day off (which I took) to visit.
I felt my riding improved over the week, and the final day on the downhill tracks was awesome.
Oh and the accommodation was clean and nice, the free beer got nailed and Alan even did a Christmas dinner, which was well appreciated.
Planning another trip soon.

Connecting with the ESU Alumni Association
By Tyler Curtis, Director of Alumni Relations
Alumni Association.
What do you think of when you read those two words? Exactly what does an alumni association do?
When I graduated, I associated the ESU Alumni Association with a person, Roy Mann. Actually, I associated the organization with two people, Roy Mann and Joan Lauber. All I knew about the ESU alumni office was that Roy was the Alumni Director and he knew everyone. Joan was his assistant and she made everything he wanted to accomplish actually happen. In general, I associated the alumni association with people.
Most people associate the alumni association with money—or more precisely, raising money. And to a degree, that's certainly true. Giving back is a large part of our organization's vision, and one way to give back involves monetary donations. However, your alumni association's board of directors and our professional staff are not charged with raising money.
The mission of the ESU Alumni Association is to "build relationships and support for Emporia State University – today and tomorrow." Our goal is to maintain a connection between our alumni and university. We do this by hosting campus events like Homecoming and Founders Day. We plan reunions for classes and affinity groups—Greek organizations, student organizations, clubs, and athletics. We work with regional chapters to host ESU events. We bridge campus departments with their alumni base. We work on volunteer projects such as coordinating and staffing ESU's booth at the Kansas State Fair and hosting Teacher Appreciation Lunches in regional areas. We send communications via direct mail, e-mail, and Facebook. In a word, we connect.
Our mission "to build relationships and support" is about connecting, and our alumni demonstrate they are connected by giving back. Alumni demonstrate their willingness to give back to ESU by attending events, representing ESU at their places of work or in their community, planning events, sharing communications, and contacting other alumni to invite them to attend events and university functions.
Emporia State University and the ESU Alumni Association couldn't meet our goals without these valuable individuals who have chosen to give back to ESU in terms of their time and talent. Thankfully, we have many alumni who give back in terms of their treasure as well. Giving back involves donating time, talent, and treasure, and it takes all three to advance our institution.
So what is the point of an alumni association? Connecting. The point is to connect Emporia State University's alumni and friends to our institution and to each other. I hope you'll connect with us and help us realize our mission of building relationships and support for ESU.

" Address: Chapel / Lane,Wythall / Birmingham / B47 6JX / West Midlands "
We have stayed at this site a number of times for overnight stops on our way North or South past Birmingham because it's not too far out of the way if you are travelling M1, M5 or M6 (which may sound gibberish given it is actually just off the M42, but there you go......!) We have also used it for weekend stays meeting up with friends. I don't think I would choose to say here for a holiday, but that is more about personal choice than any criticism of the site.
Chapel Lane is a Caravan Club site and facilities are of the standard one would expect from a club site - warm, well maintained and supplied with necessaries like soap and loo roll. Pitches are mainly hard standing although there are some grass pitches. One area of the site does feel rather like pitching on a car park, but if you drive round a bit there are plenty of other smaller areas divided off with bushes etc that feel a lot better. The site is open all year. Recycling facilities on site and plenty of service points with fresh water, waste water disposal and chemical toilet disposal. Electric hookups on most if not all pitches. Late night arrivals area. Laundry and dishwashing facilites. There are also storage facilities on site.
The site is conveniently located for visiting Birmingham (bus stop outside site for buses into the city, but not sure what the frequency is as we haven't used the.) Would also be suitable for use when visiting the NEC, which is not too long a drive away. Within walking distance there is farm shop which has things like bread and milk as well as loads of other stuff as well - we wound up buying half a lamb here once and travelling home with the van fridge stuffed full, so be warned! There is also a cafe/restaurant associated with the farm shop which did fantastic breakfasts - check this as we last used it several years ago. Booking was advisable as it was very popular.
Chapel Lane is reasonably priced for a site within reach of a major city - pitch plus 2 adults ranges from £15.30 to £24.10 for pitch & 2 adults. In 2012 there are special offers - there's a midweek pitch discount which could save you £3-4 and kids up to 17 stay for 1p a night during the summer holidays.

Have any of you set up a 29er to use as a road bike? I fancied getting one to use as a road bike in summer and a cross bike in winter. Maybe having a different set of wheels? I thought about using the midge bars as a good in betweener set.
How good is the 29er on the road compared to a run of the mill road bike?

Microsoft has released a trailer for its upcoming Windows 8-exclusive game, "The Gunstringer: Dead Man Running," a new entry in a franchise that began on the Xbox 360 last year.
"The Gunstringer" was released on Sept. 13, 2011, as an Xbox 360-exclusive title that requires Microsoft's Kinect motion controller. That game was developed by Twisted Pixel (best known for its "'Splosion Man" and "Ms. 'Splosion Man" games), which Microsoft later acquired shortly after the game's release. "Dead Man Running," however, is being developed by Other Ocean.
Additionally, the game's cover art for the Windows Store was released through a new Facebook page.
Microsoft and Other Ocean have yet to set a release date for the new Windows 8 entry in the franchise.

Abigail Grainger is a Jamie's Home Cooking Skills student in Year 10 at Alfriston School, Amersham Bucks – a special needs school for pupils with learning difficulties. Abi has an infectious enthusiasm for everything she does and cannot help but pass this on to her friends, family and peers. She epitomises what the home cooking skills programme is about, having embraced the course immediately, sourcing recipes from home as well as learning and perfecting the necessary skills to meet the challenges of the course. Abi rapidly gained confidence using her knowledge and skills to create healthy meals in order to support her sporting lifestyle. Abi battled ill health throughout the course but never let this affect her learning. Her enthusiasm for cooking using fresh ingredients and the recipes provided by Jamie Oliver began to have an effect on her family; persuading them to reduce the frequency of ready meals and adopting a healthier diet. The culmination of her successful course was the creation of a family recipe book that can be added to and passed down through the generations. Abi is a perfect ambassador for the Jamie Course, her enthusiasm and love of life would make her a proud role model for other teenagers with special needs.

Lawrence Kessey is a Jamie's Home Cooking Skills student at Gladesmore Community School, Tottenham. He has been nominated due to his dedication, hard work and enthusiasm throughout the course. He has worked very hard both in school and at home to practice the skills needed to pass the course. Lawrence has changed his attitude to his food lessons since Year 8 when, although he enjoyed cooking he could be a little disorganised. This year he has taken recipes to practice at home so he was organised and prepared for each lesson. He has taken the perfection of skills very seriously in order that he gained a PASS. Lawrence is a cheerful student and likes to help others especially now he feels more confident in his abilities. He embodies what this course is about. He will go on to use the skills he has gained – not only practically but also in his knowledge of healthy eating and using fresh ingredients.

Tues 24-July-12
John Relihan – Fifteen's Apprentice Programme, Class of 2004. The first time John ever got on a plane was to apply for Fifteen's Apprentice Programme. He's originally from Ireland. Whilst on the training programme, John demonstrated good kitchen skills. He was always keen and willing to learn. He showed a great attitude towards his peers and the various jobs he was given to do. We knew from the onset that John had what it takes to become a very good chef. Becoming a distinction student! John then worked in some top restaurants and then travelled, working at restaurant Incanto in San Francisco among others. He is now working as a Senior Sous Chef in Jamie Oliver's restaurant Barbecoa, London.
Tues 24-July-12
Dennis Duncanson – Fifteen's Apprentice Programme, Class of 2004. Dennis demonstrated really good kitchen skills when he was an apprentice. He was confident and hard working but sometimes required 'guidance' but learnt straight away. He was always keen to offer help to others. When we first heard Dennis' name, it was always with the pre-fix 'done time for joy-riding'. Although from a loving background, he clearly hadn't grown up with structure and role models and it wasn't clear if his time at Fifteen was going to be beneficial. We saw Dennis both physically and mentally beaten up and have seen him bounce back, with humour, respect and hard, hard work time after time.
Tues 24-July-12
Kevin Crowley – Fish Blockman, Fifteen London (volunteer). We first met Kevin when he was tasked to deliver a 'fishmongery' workshop to 18 eager apprentices at 5AM in a very cold Billingsgate Market. He said the encounter had awoken his enthusiasm for what he does and he had learnt so much from the apprentices themselves. After this, Kevin wanted to give something more back. He now volunteers his time 3 days a week training the apprentices in 'fishmongery' skills. This is in addition to working over 60 hours a week (nights) at his paid job. He works brilliantly with our apprentices. He is supportive and encouraging imparting his knowledge and skills to them. He is passionate about his trade and wanting to make a difference to young people's lives. He is an absolute asset to the Fifteen team!
Tues 24-July-12
Nikki Giles – Assistant Programme Manager, Fifteen. Nikki has been working at Fifteen for over 3 years. In that time she has worked tirelessly to improve the programme and offer an abundance of opportunities for the apprentices to enhance their experience. She is the first person they go to when there are issues they are struggling to deal with. She offers words of encouragement but also has a 'can-do' mentality that means they are supported to deal with the challenges before them. Without her caring approach, many of the apprentices would fail.
Tues 24-July-12
Jodene Jordan – Fifteen's Apprentice Programme Class of 2005. Jodene started her time at Fifteen as an apprentice. She worked hard over the 18 months to graduate. She worked on a number of 'promotional' activities demonstrating the skills she had learnt to try and ensure on-going funding for the Fifteen project. Close to graduation, Jodene realised she was pregnant and soon gave birth to a lovely son, Zak. Jodene continued to work at Fifteen in the kitchen supporting the next intake of apprentices. She was then the first person to complete a graduate training programme as a trainee 'Procurement Assistant'. Realising that she still loved cooking, Jodene moved to the Jamie Oliver Food Team and is intrinsic to the delivery of Jamie's recipes! She is a positive role model that acts as a mentor to the apprentices. In particular, she provides guidance and support to young Mum's filling them with inspiration to be able to juggle motherhood and the challenges the programme provides.
Tues 24-July-12
Angela Morris – Marketing and Commercial Manager, Jamie Oliver Limited. Ange has worked with Fifteen since the first day the restaurant opened nearly 10 years ago. She is the oracle of Fifteen's impressive history and has been influential in all aspects of Fifteen's development to a successful restaurant with over 100+ graduates. Ange goes above and beyond her role to ensure that the charity is focussed on its objectives. She is supportive and encouraging to her peers but also is a champion of the graduates. She embodies everything that is wonderful about Fifteen and she is a great ambassador for the programme.
Tues 24-July-12
Tedros Hagos – Fifteen's Apprentice Programme, Class of 2009. Tedros has overcome enormous personal difficulties to get where he is. He was granted asylum in the UK after fleeing from imprisonment in Ethiopia, following forced conscription into the army. Tedros arrived with nothing, lived in a church and is still unable to contact his family through fear for their safety. Remarkably he never uses his background as an excuse or barrier. Tedros has a natural ability in the kitchen and a thirst for learning. Tedros excelled in all areas of the apprenticeship gaining a Distinction! Tedros has a natural positive attitude and shows respect to everyone he encounters. He has been working at restaurant Coq d'Argent for the last 2 years and now oversees the training of his own apprentices. He is an outstanding example of a young person who has overcome great obstacles and grasps every opportunity to achieve his goals.
Tues 24-July-12
Lloyd Hayes – Fifteen's Apprentice Programme, Class of 2005. Lloyd is a graduate from the Class of 2005. He is very honest about the challenges he's faced and how he's turned his life around. Since graduating, Lloyd has continued to volunteer his time as a positive role model to the next generation of apprentices. His career has always been charity and social enterprise based working with Crisis and Acorn House to now being Head Chef at The Waterhouse training young people to become professional chefs. Every year, he has donated his time to take a group of graduates to San Patrignano in Italy and replay a positive message to other 'troubled' people with a positive and inspirational story.

I remember them all. The time I was too lazy to read 842 pages of the hospital record and, after the jury tossed me in the gutter, a smart-ass juror asked pointedly why I didn't mention the nurse's note hidden on page 496.
Or when I left my expert's report on my desk and the judge, fat face filled with frustration, held out his hand for the document and, when I mumbled "I can't find it," quickly and viciously granted defendant's summary judgment motion. Or when my neighbor Mrs. McMorrow called, sobbing that she was knocked down by this gigantic, vicious dog—he put his paws on my shoulders and now I have a broken hip and I have to get screws and plates. I started the lawsuit only to discover that the dog was one of those tiny Paris Hilton pets, weighing about the same as one of my chins.

What a mess.
What a crazy, dysfunctional, ridiculous mess.
The 2011-2012 NBA season has been nuked. Blown all to hell because a bunch of rich people couldn't agree how to carve up a big old money pie.
As ESPN's Marc Stein reported:
As a labor standoff spanning nearly five months plunged into chaos, NBA commissioner David Stern and NBA Players Association executive director Billy Hunter could agree on only one thing.
The 2011-12 NBA season, both men conceded Monday, is legitimately in jeopardy.
That was actually the consensus conclusion all over the league after Hunter announced that the team representatives in attendance at a morning meeting in Times Square voted unanimously to file a "disclaimer of interest" that will dissolve the union and signals the players' intent to take their battle with the owners into federal court.
Following a weekend of unusually-aggressive public lobbying by Stern in support of a take-it-or-leave-it proposal issued by owners Nov. 10, Hunter and NBPA president Derek Fisher announced that — with negotiations between the sides essentially hopeless at this stage — they planned to file an antitrust lawsuit within 48 hours. The suit will seek a summary judgment that deems the NBA shutdown which began July 1 to be illegal.
Hunter then acknowledged in an interview with NBA TV that, even though the NBPA pushed for disclaiming its status as the players' collective bargaining representative over decertification to get into a courtroom faster, there is a "high probability" that the entire 2011-12 season will be lost because of the lengthy nature of court proceedings.
And so that leaves us, the fans of professional basketball, standing lost and shellshocked in the smoldering crater of ground zero.
No, the 2011-12 season has not been "officially" lost yet. In theory, cooler heads could prevail and one side or the other might back down. Or, heck, both sides might finally agree on an equitable compromise.
And the air we breath might spontaneously transmute into gold.
All along, I was worried it would come to this. But I never thought it would come to this. If that makes any sense at all. Most people fear the worst but believe in their heart it won't come to pass.
And there was reason for optimism. The NBA was in a really good place. Plenty of good teams, great storylines, ratings and fan interest were up. Now?
Mushroom clouds as far as the eye can see.
Today's TrueHoop: First Cup post has a great roundup of press stories about the situation. It provides an outlook for everybody. David Stern is evil. The owners are evil. The players are evil. Everybody's evil.
As for the where the Bulls figure into all this drama? K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune writes:
Hunter said the decision to disband the union and file a disclaimer of interest was a unanimous decision by those players in attendance, including Bulls player rep Carlos Boozer. However, the deal never got presented to the membership as a whole.
Fisher asked for players to refrain from speaking publicly about the union's decision now that it will become a legal matter, however several players ignored that and used social media to voice their feelings.
John Lucas III, who subbed for Boozer at last week's player reps meeting when Boozer's grandmother died, tweeted: "As players we've tried and tried and just haven't had an equal partner in this process."
At least four Bulls said they had signed papers authorizing a decertification petition before Monday's actions. A call to Boozer didn't get returned.
And now, all bets are off. Players will more aggressively consider overseas options, including Luol Deng in England and Joakim Noah in France. C.J. Watson tweeted that he planned to finish his college degree.
So here we are. No D-Rose. No Jo-Noah. No Lu Deng. No "Bench Mob." No circus road trip to complain about. No Boozer or Keith Bogans to kick around.
No NBA basketball. Not now. Maybe not this year. Maybe not for a very long time.
Here are some Chicago Bulls highlights from last season. It's all we've got at the moment.

Alastair Cook could step down as England cricket captain
ALASTAIR COOK revealed yesterday he will consider his position as England cricket captain after another heavy defeat by Australia brought a swift loss of the one-day series.
He was adamant he will lead the team in the final two ODI matches later this week in Perth and Adelaide, but said he will then review his future when he returns home.
This is a clear change of tone from a fortnight ago when Cook had insisted he definitely wanted to continue as Test skipper despite the Ashes whitewash.
I think there will be some changes. I think English cricket needs change
"I am going to have take stock and make a decision on that stuff [the captaincy] after the next two games," said Cook, clearly numbed by the latest setback Down Under.
"We will sit down and talk about a lot of things. I think there will be some changes. I think English cricket needs change.
"I can't answer questions about captaincy now in the middle of a series. I don't know what I'm going to feel like when I get home.
"It has been two weeks since someone asked me this, and a lot has happened in those two weeks. We have kept losing games of cricket, and I haven't been able to turn it around."
