Rokita Statement: Hearing on "Protecting America's Youth: An Update from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children"
WASHINGTON, D.C. | July 15, 2014
We are pleased to hear today from Mr. John Ryan, the president and chief executive officer of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children or NCMEC. Mr. Ryan will give us an update on NCMEC's important work and how a number of legislative changes enacted last year are enhancing the efforts of this organization.
At a ceremony opening the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, President Ronald Reagan said, "All Americans, and especially our youth, should have the right and the opportunity to walk our streets, to play and to grow and to live their lives without being at risk." Spoken 30 years ago, President Reagan's words are just as true now as they were back then.
If we are truly fighting for all people, so that they can build better lives for themselves and their families, one of the key things we must help them with is the safety of their children.
No child should be afraid to walk home from school, hang out with friends at the mall, or surf the Internet. Yet sadly we know that's just not the case. Too often a predator is lurking in the shadows, ready to do harm. Each year thousands of children go missing or fall victim to sexual exploitation and other heinous crimes. As the father of two young boys, I cannot fathom the pain and suffering these families are forced to bear. No one can, but we can do something about it.
For 30 years a national public-private partnership has worked to protect children and safely return victims to their families. NCMEC is at this center of this vital effort. The organization provides services, resources, and other assistance to victims of abduction and sexual exploitation, as well as their families and those who serve them.
The center's 24-hour Cyber Tipline has provided law enforcement with more than 2.3 million leads of suspected child sexual exploitation. On its own this would constitute a stellar record, but the tip line is only one part of a larger effort. The center also manages a national database on missing children, organizes case management teams to serve as a single point of contact for families, and offers training and technical assistance to law enforcement and professionals working in health care and the juvenile justice system.
These are just a few of the services and support provided each and every day. The only way to describe the work of NCMEC's staff is heroic; they are making a difference in the lives of countless children and families. In fact, just this year, in partnership with the FBI and Department of Justice, NCMEC participated in Operation Cross Country VIII. This week-long national campaign led to the arrest of 281 child traffickers and the rescue of 168 children – besting its work from the prior year.
However, we all know that despite these achievements, more work needs to be done. To help support that effort, last year Congress passed the E. Clay Shaw, Jr. Missing Children's Assistance Reauthorization Act. Enacted with overwhelming bipartisan support, the legislation extended our partnership with NCMEC while providing additional accountability and oversight protections. The law also includes reforms to encourage greater coordination between law enforcement, states, and schools.
As one of many partners, Congress cannot stop there. There is more that can and should be done on behalf of these vulnerable youth. Toward that end, a number of important legislative proposals were introduced that will help strengthen our commitment to youth who are victims of sex trafficking. While no legislation can provide a perfect solution, the bills put forward last week will move our country in the right direction.
Protecting children has been and must remain a national priority. Mr. Ryan, I would like to thank you and your staff for their hard work and dedication. As a committee, Congress, and nation, let's continue working together so we can, as President Reagan said, "turn the tide on these hateful crimes."

The latest Public Policy Polling survey in Virginia is good news for Newt Gingrich, George Allen, and Ken Cuccinelli. Gingrich has jumped to a huge lead in the Virginia GOP presidential primary race, favored by 41 percent to Mitt Romney's 15 percent. No one else topped 8 percent.
In the Senate primary, Allen polls 67 percent, with his four rivals sharing 12 percent between them, and 21 percent undecided. And an early look at the 2013 GOP gubernatorial primary has Cuccinelli leading Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling 44 percent to 25 percent -- but with 31percent still undecided.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch's Wesley Hester says Gingrich, "who was barely showing up in Virginia polls just months ago, now leads the state in every age group and gender." Hester also says Allen seems to have "little to worry about in terms of primary competition."
And while some Virginia Tea Party activists have been pushing for an alternative to Allen, Bearing Drift's Shaun Kenney notes that the poll shows Allen's favorability among tea partiers at 59 percent, with just 13 percent viewing the former senator unfavorably. A full 65 percent "of self-described Tea Partiers said Allen's ideology was 'about right.'"
* Allen weighed in on the family business on Sean Hannity's radio show Monday, admitting that the Redskins are not having a very good year. "Hopefully they'll draft a quarterback in an upcoming round, and they need some more of an offensive line as well," Allen said. "They've had so many injuries. At any rate, they're still trying, and making the effort."
* Tim Kaine was in Roanoke Tuesday to visit the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute. The Roanoke Times says as governor, Kaine "signed the 2008 bond package that included $59 million to start the school, but he hasn't visited since the groundbreaking that fall."
* Struggling GOP presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman is in Richmond this morning for a fundraiser at the Country Club of Virginia, the Times-Dispatch reports. Huntsman, in low single digits both nationally and in Virginia, is banking his campaign on the January 10 New Hampshire primary.
The Washington Post says Gov. Bob McDonnell was set to "stop by" the event, and planned to speak with Huntsman both before and after the fundraiser. McDonnell has not endorsed a presidential candidate.
* The Post reports Maryland House Minority Leader Anthony O'Donnell will "launch an uphill bid" to unseat House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, planning to link Hoyer to House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi as "part of what's wrong with Washington." O'Donnell said Tuesday, "We acknowledge it's a tough district, but people feel like America is on the wrong track, and people want to change that." The Post calls O'Donnell "among the most credible candidates the party could field against Hoyer," even though the incumbent "has shown few signs of weakness."
Meanwhile, Roll Call reports Hoyer chief of staff Terry Lierman, who was the Democratic nominee in the Eighth District in 2000, is leaving his job at the end of the year, with Hoyer staffer Alexis Covey-Brandt replacing him.
* Rep. Roscoe Bartlett's decision to seek an 11th term isn't slowing down state Sen. David Brinkley, who is considering running against Bartlett in the April GOP primary. The Baltimore Sun reports Brinkley said Tuesday that state Sen. Chris Shank would chair his Washington County campaign if he decides to enter the race.
* Bolling is "teaming up with Redskins receiver Santana Moss and Visa Inc. to launch a program called 'Financial Football' that intends to teach students in middle and high schools the basics of finance," the Roanoke Times reports.
* The Times-Dispatch criticizes Republican Del. Rob Bell for focusing so much on crime as he begins his campaign for Virginia AG. In an editorial, the paper says candidates for the office "general routinely act as if they are auditioning for the role of Wyatt Earp in a bad Western movie." While "Bell's convictions about the issue are no doubt genuine," if AG candidates "really hated crime as much as they put on, then they would run for commonwealth's attorney, not attorney general. The tough-guy talk does nothing but deceive the voters about the nature of the office."
* The conservative Virginia Virtucon blog says Virginia Democrats have some "positive, constructive" ideas on government reform, including "reexamining all tax credits and requiring that the budget conference report be made public at least 24 hours before it comes up for a vote."
* Bearing Drift's Brian Kirwin notes that Democratic Virginia state Sen. Yvonne Miller spent $53,530 in September and October on her re-election campaign, even though she was running unopposed. She also ended the campaign with $59,000 in the bank. Despite these riches, Miller gave just $10,000 to the state party's Senate efforts -- and Republicans "won two close races" to claim the majority, "one by 226 votes and the other by 644 votes. Boy, if the Democrats had a bit more cash, maybe it could've made a difference."
* The Sun reports Annapolis lobbyist Bruce Bereano "settled a case with the State Ethics Commission earlier this year by agreeing to pay a $2,750 penalty for failing to make required disclosures of meals and other gifts to state officials." Bereano, "a convicted felon," settled "more serious ethics cases in 2009 with a $29,070 payment."
* The Washington Times says D.C. Council candidates' latest filings to the Office of Campaign Finance are "fraught with oddities and irregularities of varying magnitude," such as the listing of "Maryland and Virginia towns inside the Capital Beltway" as "part of 'DC.'" Ward 2 incumbent Jack Evans "outpaced all candidates by raising $304,817 to date for his race, although no one is challenging him." Over in Ward 8, Marion Barry did not meet the Monday deadline, and "a report filed Tuesday lists only a $4,000 loan from himself to his campaign as he seeks to protect his seat against multiple challengers."

Hawaii Nonpoint Source Program
Letter of Approval
September 19, 2000

Dear Messrs. Gill and Blane:
We are pleased to approve Hawaii's Implementation Plan for the Polluted Runoff Control, dated July 2000, pursuant to the Clean Water Action (CWA) Section 319. We find the Implementation Plan successfully incorporates the nine key elements, as defined in the Nonpoint Source Program and Grant Guidance for FY1997 and Beyond (EPA, May 1996), and characterizes an effective and dynamic state nonpoint source control program. We have summarized the key elements and strengths of Hawaii's program in the enclosed document. The Implementation Plan provides the necessary framework to guide future funding and activities to address polluted runoff.
We commend the State for developing an integrated Implementation Plan that incorporates activities under the Polluted Runoff Control Program (CWA) and the Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program (Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendment-CZARA), including a 15-year strategy/5-year plan. In addition, the work your agencies have done to provide the opportunities for public involvement and comment throughout the development of the Implementation Plan is critical to its successful implementation. Your agencies have demonstrated what can be accomplished through effective partnerships.
As a result of this approval, the State will receive the incremental FY2000 Section 319 grant in the amount of $763,000. These incremental funds are targeted to the development and implementation of watershed restoration action strategies in priority waterbodies identified in the State's Unified Watershed Assessment. Due to staff changes and workload concerns at specific Soil and Water Conservation Districts, we understand that the State will be issuing a request for proposals to identify other entities to develop several of the restoration action strategies.
Our respective agencies, along with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are simultaneously working on meeting the requirements of CZARA. Although the approval processes for the Nonpoint Source Upgrade (CWA) and the CZARA programs are distinct, the specific environmental protection measures overlap. EPA and NOAA will continue to work with the State to meet all of the conditions for approval of the Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program under CZARA by 2003 (within five years of NOAA/EPA's conditional approval).
As we look toward the future, there are many challenges we face that will require our continued commitment, fully staffed programs, and effective partnerships. EPA appreciates the effort and commitment your agencies and staff have shown in the development of the Polluted Runoff Control Program. We look forward to working with you to implement Hawaii's Implementation Plan for the Polluted Runoff Control. If you have any questions, please contact Mike Schulz (415) 972-3546 or Audrey Shileikis (415) 972-3459.

"I went to press today," Eric Kampmann reported during a Monday evening phone call, informing GalleyCat that he had prepared a 125,000-copy first printing of the Goldman-enhanced edition of If I Did It, the book which contains a scenario for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman narrated in the voice of OJ Simpson. It's a drop from the 400,000 copies ReganBooks had begun shipping before HarperCollins pulled the plug on the project last fall, but it's still the largest project in Beaufort's history. "Without Barnes & Noble, I have orders for 116,000 copies," Kampmann added. "Apart from them, we've had enormous support from all our accounts, without exception, and I expect to be going back to print even before the first books ship." He's still aiming to ship finished books straight from the bindery on September 11, so that books might be available in stores when the Goldmans and Denise Brown square off on Oprah two days later.
While B&N held firm to its decision not to stock the book in its stores, If I Did It shot up to the #1 position on the company's website Monday; by the end of the day, it was also in the Amazon.com top 50. Kampmann sees the pre-orders as a "protest vote" against B&N's corporate decision. "Their own customers are telling them they're interested in the book," he explained. Naturally, he's excited about that—and about the possibility that Beaufort Books really will be able to turn around a 100,000-plus first printing in little more than a month. (It's not only Beaufort's biggest book, but the biggest book he's distributed through Midpoint Trade Books.) "I defy anybody to do what this 'pathetic, no-name' press has done," he said, still smarting perhaps from the scornful reaction of PW and others when the book deal was first announced.

Might & Magic X - Vote Results and Interview
The open development blog has a few new updates for Might & Magic X. First up we have a new interview with Lead Level Designer Karsten.
Next we have the results for the cover it seems green was the one that got picked.
And the winner is ... green!
We appreciate all the feedback you gave us in the comments. We've also been discussing in the team whether red is overused as a colour for game covers and whether a 3D logo goes well with an old school touch or not. ;)
Thanks for helping us making MMX as good as possible - from the inside as well as from the outside!
Next we have the results for the tavern music.
What we really like about you is that you're being honest with us. When we asked you here which piece of music you prefer, we got mixed feedback. Some of you liked what they heard, some saw the potential in the compositions while others disapproved. However, many of you voted, and here's our winner:
And this is how you voted:
A) The Dangling Woods: 47%
B) Horns of War: 33%
C) Dragon Song: 20%
To those of you who didn't like the songs, please keep in mind that these audios are just demo versions. The songwriter is a member of the team who wrote and recorded the demos himself at home. They're bonus material that's separate from the normal soundtrack, and the song you picked will only be heard in a tavern somewhere. Plus, it will of course be reworked and re-recorded by professional musicians before it becomes part of the game. So thank you for voting and for giving us feedback, and rest assured that there is no reason to lose any sleep over the music. ;)
And no worries, as Julien aka Marzhin93 has already pointed out in the vote comments already: "Nobody said that the whole soundtrack will be made of songs".
And finally a new vote #3 for Your dungeon!
Are you a riddler or a fighter? Or both?For the next step, we're asking you to decide whether you want this dungeon to be combat- or riddle based, or whether you would like a balanced mix of both combat and riddles. Do you prefer to hack and slash your way through your dungeon, or would you rather use your wits instead of getting your hands dirty? It's your call! And of course, for those who like both, there's also the balanced option.The vote will be open until next friday.Please vote here.

Wondering what a Handi-Skill is?
There are so many different kinds of candles out there that you may have a hard time deciding which one to try first.
Tapered Candles
We've done this before, and it was fairly easy to do – although it will require adult supervision for any littles. You know your child best as to whether they can handle it on their own.
You need to have some sort of large can, clean and dry to use for the wax. We used a 28oz tomato can, but, A taller, skinnier can would have probably worked better. You'll also need wax and some wicks (both available at the craft store) as well as a metal washer.
The hardest part was probably cutting wax off of the huge 4lb chunk to fit into our can. While you are getting the wax into your can, have a pot of water coming to a gentle simmer on the stove (NOT boiling). Once the water is ready, gently place the can into the pot of simmering water to allow the wax to melt. After the wax is melted, you're ready to make your candles.
I found some great, really specific directions on how to make Colonial Candles that we used when making our candles.
Here's how ours turned out.
And for a little fun, you can add crayons in your favorite color to the wax to make your own custom color candles (try saying that three times fast.)
See those really skinny small ones with the burned ends? We used those for my son's 8th birthday cake. Yes, we did this project 3 years ago as part of a week full of Colonial activities.
Cost: around $25 – with plenty of wax left over to do this several more times. If you are able to find a 1lb pkg of wax, the cost can be considerably less.
Gel Candles
We've not done gel candles yet, but this is something that I'm interested in trying. There are so many options for fun designs that you really are only limited by your imagination. The good news (or possibly bad news if you're easily distracted like I am) is that there is an entire row at the big craft stores dedicated to gel candles. Take a look at how easy these candles are to make.
Source: theweddingfavors.info via Gidget on Pinterest
Cost: You can get a Gel Candle Kit for about $25 at Amazon, but I'm sure you can get just a few supplies from the craft store for less.
Beeswax Candles
These look like a really fun way to do candles – lots of options and color. Since the wax doesn't have to be melted, this looks like a great way to get started with the young ones.
Here's some easy instructions to get started making your own rolled beeswax candles.
Source: homemadeserenity.blogspot.com via Gidget on Pinterest
Cost: You can get a Beeswax Candle Rolling Kit with Decorating Ideas, in Bright Colors for around $20 at Amazon, but you may be able to start with less supplies to give it a try.
Molded Candles
Your creativity can really kick into gear with molded candles. Shapes, Colors, Scents – there are so many different options to choose from! This is probably the most complicated of the different candle styles, but I've found a pretty in depth tutorial on how to make your own molded candles.
Source: parexcellencemagazine.com via Gidget on Pinterest
Cost: This also looks to be one of the more expensive projects. You can get a kit for $30, but I advise taking a stroll down that candle aisle and seeing what you can get for a small project. You can also make your own molds.
There are lots of other possibilities out there including floating candles
Source: mybrideidea.blogspot.com via Gidget on Pinterest
and even a water candle kit

so there's sure to be a candle out there that fits your budget and your style.
What's your favorite type of candle? Tell me about it in the comments.

Defensive tackle Sean Spencer (Newnan, Ga./Northgate) made an official visit to Annapolis, Md. over the weekend and left committed to the Midshipmen, according to multiple sources.
The 6-foot-4, 255-pound three-star talent was previously committed to Vanderbilt. He selected the Commodores in June.
Spencer claims additional scholarship offers from Air Force, Army, Cincinnati, Indiana, LSU, Mississippi State, North Carolina, Ole Miss, South Carolina, South Florida, Syracuse, Central Florida and Wake Forest.
ESPN calls Spencer, "a physical and tough kid who shows flashes of being a stout run defender and active interior pass rusher, but must first add more size and develop the little things in his game."
He's the eighth public commitment and top-rated recruit in Navy's 2013 class.

ENGLEWOOD — Police have made five arrests in connection with the arson of a vacant city home in April.
Chief Arthur O'Keefe said that firefighters and police arrived to find the home at 35 Slocum Ave. engulfed in flames after neighbors reported it on April 9, and it was eventually destroyed. The home was not occupied, and had no active electricity or gas lines, immediately raising suspicion.
"There really was no basis for that type of rapidly accelerating fire," O'Keefe said.
Detectives turned up little in evidence or leads, until an unrelated case brought information to light on who may have been behind the fire.
Along with the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Arson Unit, officers made five arrests - three juveniles and two adults - over the course of Wednesday and Thursday.
Edwin Roman Jr., 21, of Englewood, was determined to be the man who allegedly set the fire, and was charged with second-degree aggravated arson, burglary and failure to report or control a fire. He is being held at the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack on $100,000 bail, with no 10 percent option.
David Rodriguez, 20, of Englewood, was charged with fourth-degree criminal trespass and released on a summons. All three juveniles were charged with fourth-degree criminal trespass, with one earning an extra count of failure to report or control a fire.
O'Keefe said that the downturn in the economy and a rise in foreclosures have raised the number of vacant homes in the city, which often turn into hangouts for the homeless or drug addicts, and can attract criminals looking to steal valuable metal or other materials.
"They become a neighborhood nuisance," he said. "We've had our hands full with them."
In this instance, it appeared the home had become a meeting place for area youth, and that the home was burned simply for mischief purposes, he added.

I recently tried loading cast lead bullets for the first time. I have not been impressed with my results so far. Maybe some of you can help me out. How much lube should a cast bullet have on it? The ones I bought have a thin film of lube on them above and below the lube groove, as well as in the groove. The problem is that every time I seat a bullet, a ring of lube is pushed to the front of the case mouth. If I don't wipe the lube off of every round as I assemble it, the lube builds up in the chamber so that after about 20 rounds, the gun won't even chamber a round anymore. This isn't normal is it? What is your experience with cast bullets?

No, it is not normal to have that much excess lube on the bullets. The NRA's Col. Harrison did an extensive study on cast bullets and lubricants a few years back and most of his conclusions are still valid. Concerning lubricant, the bottom line is that the less you use, the more accurate the load. The problem is that the less you use the more likely you are to lead the barrel. As you already buy the lubricated bullets, there is not much you can do about the amount of it on the bullet except to wipe it off before seating or after. Possibly you could bell the case mouth a bit more prior to seating thereby trapping more lube inside the case. Usually lubing and sizing are done in one operation and any excess lube is cleaned off the bullet as it is sized. Good luck! Quantrill

May I suggest you look at moving to a more modern lube or perhaps even a teflon-coated lead projectile ?
Your current brand sounds as if it is from the 1800s!

Quantrill. I think, if memory serves, that Col Harrisons comments were directed to the NRA's 50-50 Alox-beeswax lube. The new hard lubes found on most commecial cast bullets don't seem to give that problem, at least not for me. I don't use commercial bullets. I cast and lube my own, and I will not use the NRA formula at all anymore. it smells bad. It runs and gets hard to work with during our southern Arizona summers. it is smoky as hell, and makes your firearm all smoked up. The only good thing I have found with it, is it does promote good accuracy with some rifle loads.
My suggestion to the fellow with the excessive lube problem. Wipe your ammo down and get rid of the excess. I do.

After rereading Col. Harrison's article on lubricants, I find that he was referring generically to lubricants in general [at that time] in saying that more lube was detrimental to target accuracy. The same also applied to the newly [then] developed NRA formula lube. It could be that the new hard lubes do not have that problem. Many locally produced cast bullets for sale are still lubed with older style or even homemade lubes and this could apply to them. Without knowing who made the bullets [or lube], I couldn't say if that was the case in this instance. Anyway, it would be a good idea to reexamine the source of supply and possibly change to a source that was hard lubed or at least had less lube on the bullets. Quantrill

Quantrill. All of the commercial cast bullets in my neck of the woods have the hard lube.
I hated that black gunk Lyman used to sell as bullet lube. I worked for a while for a commerial bullet caster, and used literally tons of that stuff. I don't much care for the NRA formula lube, although it works quite well. It's messy, it stinks, and on a hot summer day in my shed( My wife calls it my playpen) the lube will ooze out onto the floor. I hate that stuff. When using it on .38 Wadcutter bullets, I only lube the bottom groove. Same with 185 and 200 gr. in .45 ACP. Any more lube and accuracy goes down the tube.
I have gotten good results with Lymans "Orange Magic" but you do need a heater for your luber-sizer tool. I haven't tried "Orange" on the target loads yet. Want to use up all the Alox up first. It'll be a while as I got a good deal on it a few years ago. It'll probably be in the next 5 years before I use it all up. Got to cast the bullets first.
Looked through Col. Harrison's articles real quick like. Did not find where he said that on all lubes. Will let it stand for now until I have time to re-research it further. Still think I'm right on that issue though. Let's put that on hold for now.

I believe that Col. Harrison referred to the odor of the NRA formula as "pungent" and I will certainly agree to that. Residing in NJ, I really don't have the problem of melting lube but I can relate to the buying it in quantity and using it for the next few years. Maybe that is why I'm not up to date on the latest "hard" lubes. The NRA lube does just about eliminate leading in both handgun and rifle loads for me. The Col. specifically mentions exactly what you refer to on .38 wadcutter bullets as to the best accuracy with lube in only one [bottom] groove and excess lube all over the muzzle with all three grooves filled. I compromised and lube in two groove although it will take longer that way to use up my supply. I remember well that black goo that Lyman sold years ago and if I never see or smell that again it will be too soon. To conclude, I think the bottom line to Walker's problem is to wipe off the excess lube on those bullets he has [either before or after seating] and either buy bullets with the "hard" lube or with less of the older lube. A pleasure conversing with a fellow caster Paul B. Quantrill

12 Tasting Notes
This is a nice, fruity Summer tea that's lovely hot or iced. There's something a little hibiscus-y about the taste that I'm fine with, but that might turn some drinkers off.
This tea looks and smells better than it actually tastes which is disappointing. I have a feeling that despite all of the dried fruit in the mix, this tea gets most of its flavour artificially….
This is one of my all-time faves in the Toronto area! Perhaps it's not proper, but I prepare it in a French Press and add honey and milk to full-boiled water and let it steep for about 5 minutes. I also will add more hot water up to three times.
This Mate Chino is the first and best toasted cocoa flavoured Mate that I've tried—I've found that other imposters (lol) have an artificial chocolate taste that is a bit too strong and chemically for my liking—I don't like to drink potpourri! The Mate Chino from The Tea Emporium is beautifully balanced and of high quality—it's a wonderful treat and a fantastic booster. I wish that it was naturally flavoured, but I have a feeling it's not.

Too smokey for me , I much prefer Macallan
Great stuff; the smell of medicine and smoke can remain in the empty glass for days.
Wonderful stuff. Under the big peat, brine and smoke, there's vanilla and pear. There's also some nice mineral notes in here. Highly recommended.
GREAT whiskey. i love the smoky taste
lovely stuff, Not my words Michael, the words of Shakin' Stevens!
Nice smokey whiskey! Surprisingly I didnt find it very intense as read in the reviews.
Massive smoke. This is like drinking a fruity campfire. It's a very good dram, but for my money, I rate it below a good Talisker 10 or Storm, or a Lagavulin. That said, I like to drink this on a cold night in northern Michigan. It's good stuff at a nice price. Bottled at 43% in the states.
I'm a huge fan of the Islay peated whisky's and this one in particular is fantastic. The nose is impressive on it, peat, wood, and a little hint of sea salt too it. It's an extremely smooth drink, doesn't have the boozy-bitter taste that alot of younger whisky's have. For the price its a must try, very similar in character to the Laphroaig Triple Wood.
I fall in love with this one at the first drop. It reminds me of the burnt soybean soup I've tasted in eastern China and it has an super attractive smell, which very close to the smell of motorcycle's machine oil. Very sweet, almost a simple syrup texture. Since this dram has such an outstanding taste, so it doesn't go well with soda or ice, but pretty good with tap water. This is what I would miss if I drink too many glasses of blended or Speyside malt whisky, a tough guy's drink.
Was introduced to Laphroaig 10 by a friend at a party. It was love at first sip. A big peaty kick in the backside followed by amazing complexity. Try a dram for starters as this is not for everyone; even the nose might scare some away. On this note is is not a dram for the clandestine drinker as when it is poured everyone in the room will know you have. Once the Laphroaigh bites you ,your hooked for life.
My favourite ... Started drinking this on a suggestion and now can't do without it
I drink it on the rocks and enjoy it's smooth full rich and smoky taste. My favorite scotch.
My favourite whisky. Peaty, smokey, and such a treat. To people saying it's like firewater you need to mix it with room temperature tap water to upwb up the phenolic flavours and subtle tastes within it. Don't drink it neat and don't put ice in. Don't put ice in any single malt. Finally if you mix this with Coke I will hunt you down. Enjoy.
As a first time islay drinker it was a revelation. The iodine smell trully makes a mark. An interesting dram for the adventourous ones.
This is a superb scotch ... the smokey tinge is amazing
Great whiskey. Love to set it on the table and wait till the smoke drifts up to my nose. Then taste the peat and smokiness together. Have a bottle of Lore and Cask strength waiting to be opened. Also want to pick a bottle of Quarter cask. Never really liked Scotch much till I tried the Islay malts. Rich and bold. And Laphroaig a very good choice. Especially the Ten Year.
I used to love it as a go-to peaty and smoky single malt. It was ever so distinctive, oily almost with that nose of iodine / medicine / TCP / bandages. Judging by the bottle I bought yesterday, it seems this has been really dialled down, presumably to make it more marketable to a broader audience. It was super-smoked and seemed sweeter than in the past, an almost maple syrup or caramel in the aftertaste. The smoke and peat are obvious crowd pleasers, and, although a little too much so for my taste, the sweetness too. But those trademark iodine / bandages / medicinal notes and that oiliness which so polarised whisky lovers, and for me made it such a unique dram, seemed barely there. Still enjoyable, but a shadow of its former self. Disappointing and a real shame.
First reaction - What a fantastic nose! Enveloping the vicinity as well, and makes people take notice. Taste has very slight butteriness, smoke invades your mouth and proceeds to your nasal cavity as well, a dewy, smoky, slightly baked wood kind of a taste that lingers and lingers! Loved it! Will collect this bottle and recommend to others.
This is quite possibly my most favourite whiksy of all time.. it's a bottle I just keep coming back to. A huge punch of smoke on the palate, earthy peat, sweetness just to balance it off and a slight nuttiness too.. such a great dram for a great price! Brilliant stuff
Laphroaig 10 yo is still kicking and I'm little surprised. Today demand of Islay malts is so high that I thought Laphroaig would been ruined already for sake of volume. The Ten is still seriously underpowered and would benefit enormously if it would be bottled at 48 % like other distillery bottlings. Not to mention disbanding artificial colour and chill-filtering.

Despite Slower Than Expected Business Travel Growth, China Remains On Track to Become The World's Largest Business Travel Market
Shanghai, October 24, 2013 – GBTA publishes the results of its fourth GBTA BTI™ Outlook – China 2013 H2 report. The GBTA commissioned Rockport Analytics, LLC to create a semi-annual business travel outlook for China. Sponsored by Visa, it provides insights for corporate travel professionals and the broader business community into both short- and long-term trends in Chinese domestic and international outbound business travel activity.
Welf J. Ebeling, regional director, GBTA Asia remarked: "Our forecast for Chinese business travel remains in line with our outlook published in the first half of 2013. Diminished trade activity to and from China, particularly in Europe and North America, has undermined the demand for long-haul business travel. We do, however, see annual growth pushing back towards 20% over the next few years.""As China's economy continues to grow, so does their expected demand for business travel," said Tad Fordyce, head of global solutions at Visa Inc. "Led by anticipated strong growth of domestic business travel, the BTI predicts China will be the world's top business travel market by 2016."
Rebalancing of domestic economy will enhance business travel outlook
China's economy growth has been impacted by the protracted slowdown in key trading markets, notably in North America and Europe. Export growth remains vital to China's economic prospects, and neighboring countries, such as Hong Kong and the ASEAN nations, have taken up part of the shortfall. Consumer retail sales and domestic investment are widely viewed as emerging pillars of the Chinese economy, although expansion of both has been slower than expected in 2013. The good news is that both consumer and producer inflation rates have remained relatively mild.
The Chinese economy remains a robust engine for economic growth at home and abroad, even though the sources of that growth are experiencing dramatic change, and that means the outlook for business travel remains positive. The combination of improved economic sentiment in global markets and projected diversification of domestic consumption are welcomed, especially as China's domestic business travel spend continues to show strong correlations with retail sales. Outbound travel is clearly driven by China's trade performance, but job growth and supply indicators will also prove to be critical.
China on track to become the globe's primary business travel market
China is growing its business travel market faster than any other nation, and continues to close the gap on the U.S. as the largest business travel economy in the world. The surge in Chinese business travel spend has been driven by domestic and international outbound business travel, with expansion noted for both transient and group meetings and events travel. GBTA expects total spending on Chinese-originated business travel to grow 14.3% in 2013, to $224 billion (¥1,371 billion) – down from the 15.1% forecast in our 2013H1 report. In 2014, total business travel spend growth should reach 17.2%, slightly up on the 16.9% previously projected.
Domestic travel continues to perform better than international outbound. GBTA expects this trend to continue with domestic travel spend forecast to grow 14.3% in 2013, and another 17.2% in 2014. In comparison, international outbound business travel from China has slowed considerably over the last two years. Growth is likely to reach 12.8% in 2013, followed by another 16.5% in 2014 – though continued weakness in global key export markets means these figure are well down on the surging IOB growth witnessed during the first decade of the millennium.

Semi-annual reports will be released each April and October.
The GBTA BTI™ Outlook uses an econometric model to better inform the forecast process.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) – This week thousands of fourth grade students from around the state are attending the annual Wood Magic Science Fair on the campus of MSU.
As a noisy portable sawmill turns rough logs into lumber, as students are getting a much needed lesson on the importance of wood from our forests, wood products, and wildlife found there.
"Yeah, its one of the biggest drivers of the economy in the state. Just because we have so much of it and we are able to produce the products and send them all over the world," said David Jones, MSU Assist. Professor
At one of ten stations, using the example of a cheese sandwich, they learn of a durable wood sandwich made of plywood.
"If you turn it to a different 90 degree angle it is stronger than if you leave it at the same angle," said Ian Riggins, Fair Goer.
The excursion stops at 10 stations at the forest products lab,and its helping them to be wood wise with our natural resources.
"For the most part we are trying to teach them we've managed our forest responsibly and produce products that are sustainable," said Jones.
For every tree that's cut down in our state forests, five are planted to replace it.

September 6th, 2010
I just recently been diagnose with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)and my doctor ordered me to use birth control to help control the symptoms. Due, to the PCOS, i have not had my period for the pass two months and there is no way that i am pregnant because i am not sexually active. My doctor told me to wait until my period comes on to start the birth control, but there is no telling when i will start my period again. Can i just start anytime of the month or do i have to wait until my period? What effects will the birth control have on me if i do start it without being on my period? And ultimately, will birth control help the effects of PCOS? For an example, excessive facial hair growth.

I also have PCOS, and was placed on the pill to control symptoms. Since my periods are so irregular she told me to just choose a Sunday (since the pill pack starts on Sunday) and begin taking them. Just at the end of my first pack, so not sure how well it's working yet. Good luck!

CBS was first in ratings with a tentative 4.9 rating/13 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and first in viewers with an average of 14.6 million, according to preliminary numbers. Due to the nature of tracking live sports, numbers for CBS are approximate.
Following a rerun, the National Championship's pre-game show at 8:30 received a 2.1/6 and 6.6 million viewers. The game itself — UConn vs. Kentucky — earned a night-high 6.0/16 and 17.8 million viewers. The pre-game show and game itself were down 52 percent and 20 percent, respectively, per the early metric.

Exactly how many ways are there to skin a cat? There's more than one. This we know for sure. So how many ways can one defrock a Felidae? 2 perhaps? 10? 100? More? The world desires a definitive answer on the wealth of ways in which one can abrade a Abyssinian, decorticate a Donskoy, exuviate an Egyptian Mau or simply scalp a Somali…
Renowned cat expert Eleanor Abernathy has been amassing and excoriating cats for decades. Devoting her life to her research, she has pioneered a plethora of techniques to strip away the skin of a stray.
In order to emulate her expertise you'll need several tools, access to an appropriate facility and of course; a cat.
Preparation is of the upmost importance. Prior to capturing your cat it's imperative that you have a pre-selected facility in which to perform the procedure. An appropriate facility should be selected depending on the proportions of your pussy. The procedural perimeter must be wide enough so that the cat's whiskers do not touch the wall, thus impeding the operation.
The overall dimensions of the facility must be several times that of the cat. Generally, a good rule to follow is; if there's room to swing it, there's room to skin it. Experiment by swinging household objects to gain a sense of surrounding, and select the location that's right for you. Once a suitable facility has been selected it must be sterilised in preparation for the procedure.
Cats can be agile and elusive creatures, generally lurking in perilous locales, frequenting alleys, rooms full of rocking chairs and hot tin roofs. The regular dwelling of the feline is often treacherous and beyond approach, and with no circadian rhythm to speak of, the activity cycle of the cat can be unpredictable.
Given the erratic social activity of the cat one must take a more deceptive approach. Using strategy and cunning, one can ensnare the creature by utilising it's natural weakness: curiosity. Cream and mice can be used as bait to coax the cat from it's treacherous dwelling, granting a ginger opportunity to capture the creature.
Cats are notorious for territorial aggression and will not react kindly to the threat of captivity. When cats attack they often pounce directly for their attacker's tongue. If presented with this situation it is imperative that you remain calm. Despite their independent façade, cats are scaredy and can often be deterred by harsh sounds, particularly a recreation of their own hiss.
Once you have caught your cat it's important to select the correct tool for the job. Almost any sharp object will suffice. From hatchets to claw hammers, there are tools to suit every type of skinner. The claymore for the highland skinner. The machete for the Mexican skinner. The scalpel for the clinical skinner. The cutlass for the high-sea skinner. The shiv for the prison skinner. Whatever your personality, there's a tool to suit you.
Now that you've chosen your blade and lucky cat, you can transport your creature to your pre-determined laboratory/shed and finally begin to peel your pussy.
Many techniques have been devised to dispatch of cats of all shapes and sizes. From the King of the jungle to the Queenanne, techniques can be applied universally to the feline species. Fat cats, cats in hats, pyjama-clad pussies, ThunderCats and Catwomen all succumb to the same modus operandi.
One of the most primitive methods ever devised is the Precipitation method. Which involves a particularly heavy downpour and the wild swiping of a katana. This method is only recommended to seasoned veterans of cat skinning, due to the high-risk of canine fatalities. Beginners are advised to follow a less complicated process.
Begin by letting the cat out of the bag, draining it of excess fluid and restraining it to your sterilised surface. Cut along the ventral midline and gently coax the skin from the underlying muscle. Through some delicate cuts and lifts you can carefully preserve both the health of the cat and condition of the pelt. Eventually you're left with a pleasing fire-side rug or a child's Halloween costume. Purrfect.
Given the amount of breeds and species and the amount of techniques and resources, Eleanor Abernathy concludes that there are approximately 21, 045 ways in which to skin a cat. But the most difficult part of the process is catching one, something the author of this piece failed to do.
Please note
- No cats were skinned during the creation of this article
- All cats were actually skinned prior to this articles origin
- Oh, and if you're wondering – I used nothing but a Stanley knife and some paper towels. Lots of paper towels.

Jeep Liberty - 4 down towing question

Jeep Liberty - 4 down towing question
We just purchased a 2002 Jeep Liberty which we plan to tow 4 down behind our class A motorhome.
After following the procedure in the owners manual for RV towing, we find that the front drive train is still engaged and is rotating while traveling. We had assumed that when the transfer case is NOT in 4 wheel high range or 4 wheel low range (such as automatic hubs), the front drive train components were disengaged from the front wheels.
Now we know this assumption is incorrect. I know this needlessly increases the rate of wear of the front end drive train while towing plus it also results in extra cost.
Question is: does anyone know of a 3rd party supplier of "lock out hubs" or similar product for the Jeep Liberty ?

Jeep Liberty - 4 down towing question
I have a Grand Cherokee, not a Liberty, so my "knowledge" may be off base, but I'll bump this up so that someone with a Liberty can respond. I had thought that the Liberty had a transfer case with a N or Neutral, like the other 4WD Jeeps. Is this not the case? If it does have a Neutral position for the transfer case lever, then I'd say there was something wrong with the transfer case if the front drivetrain was still functioning when the transfer case lever was in Neutral. The MotorHome listing includes the Liberty as towable with automatic, so I gather from that that the transfer case does have a Neutral. Have you checked with a dealer? Dutch Hebron, MD

Jeep Liberty - 4 down towing question
I have owned and towed a 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited 4X4 for almost two years. It is very simple to prepare to tow as follows: turn key to on position, put transmission in neutral, put transfer case in neutral, put transmission back in park, turn key to steering wheel unlock position, and you're ready to go.
I have towed it over 15,000 miles, and driven it another 18,000 miles with no problems. It also has a 100,000 mile warranty on the drivetrain.
Hope this helps!

Jeep Liberty - 4 down towing question
Thanks to all for your replies. I see that I did not state my question very well. Let me try once more.
I don't have any problems with the towing procedure. That works just fine. The transfer case does have a neutral position.
My question more directed toward normal driving of the Jeep Liberty, not towing it.
My problem is that I thought the Liberty had "automatic lock out hubs" which works like this: When in 4x4 mode, the hubs lock automatically. When not in 4x4 mode, the hubs automatically disengage which means as the jeep is driven down the road, the front axle and differential are not rotating.
My expectation goes back to previous 4x4 vehicles that I have owned, each of which had manual "lock out hubs". Now with the 2002 Liberty, I had assumed it had automatic lock out hubs. Now I know that it does not because the front axles, differential, and drive shaft rotate even when not in 4x4 mode.
My question is: does anyone know of product made for the Liberty that allows either manual or automatic lock out hubs ?? This product would reduce the unnecessary wear of the front end components during normal driving (2 wheel drive mode) and during towing behind a motorhome.
thanks in advance for any replies, Gilbert Belk

Fresh off his victory in Michigan, Sen. Bernie Sanders explained to the Trump adoring corporate media how Democrats will crush the billionaire if he wins the Republican nomination.
Transcript via MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports:
MITCHELL: What do you make of what's happening on the Republican side with Donald Trump?
SANDERS: What I make is obviously, I mean, the Republican leadership is a little bit nervous because I think they understand that a Donald Trump will not become President of the United States, if he becomes the Republican candidate. And I'll tell you why, Andrea. The American people — and no, I'm not saying every American, but the vast majority of the American people are not going to be voting for a president who insults Mexicans, which really is insulting all of our Latin American neighbors. Who insults Muslims. Muslims — Islam is one of the large religions in the world. Who insults veterans by attacking John McCain because he was a POW. Who attacks women. Who attacks the African-American community through his efforts in the so-called birther business.
You know, it's a funny thing. President Obama's father was born in Kenya. My father was born in Poland. Nobody goes around asking me for my birth certificate. Maybe it has something to do with the color of my skin versus the color of President Obama's skin. I don't think the American people will elect a president who is so divisive, who is so coarse, who insults anybody who disagrees with them. So that's why I think the Republican leadership is a little bit nervous about Trump's successes so far.
MITCHELL: And do you think that the Democratic Party can come together? This is not obviously as nasty a campaign as the Republican by far, but you and Hillary Clinton have serious policy disagreements. Whoever becomes the nominee, will the Democratic Party, will the Democratic Party, will you and Hillary Clinton come together in some fashion at the end of the convention and unite against whoever is the Republican nominee?
SANDERS: Well, I think that the vast majority of Democrats — and by the way, the vast majority of Independents in this country — understand that as a nation which has so much income and wealth inequality, that we don't agree with Donald Trump who wants to give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the top two-tenths of 1 percent billionaires like himself.
We all as Democrats and a vast majority of Independents know that we got to raise the minimum wage above this starvation wage of 7.25 now. We all know that the scientists are telling us something very profound and important when they talk about climate change being real and being caused by human activity while people like Donald Trump, you know, think it's a hoax.
So, to answer your question, I think the differences between Donald Trump and the other Republicans — and not just Democrats, myself with Secretary Clinton, but the vast majority of the people are very, very wise. So to answer your question, yes, I think the American people are saying, will say, that we are not going to have a Republican in the White House.
Sen. Sanders was correct on both counts. Republicans are nervous because they know that Donald Trump will not be elected president if he is their nominee. The fact is that Democrats may have their disagreements, but the members of the party share a common ideology and common goals. The differences that Republicans are having with each other are party destroying.
The reason Donald Trump is already pressing Republicans to unify around him is that even he understands that in their current state, Republicans have no hope of winning in November. Negativity rarely wins presidential elections. If voters have a choice between the positive agenda of the Democrats, or Donald the Insult Candidate, it is likely that the American people will choose the Democratic nominee.

Ecobiotic Drugs
Ecobiotic® drugs are combinations of selected microbes that may catalyze a shift of the microbiome from a state that supports disease to a state that supports health.
Ecobiotic® drugs are targeted to help restore the complex underlying ecology and function of a healthy human microbiome. With a rational approach to drug design and development, our current therapeutic candidates are actively going through multiple stages of pre-clinical and clinical testing to optimize their safety and efficacy prior to being considered for approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has designated Seres' lead compound SER-109 a Breakthrough Therapy.
How Ecobiotic® May Drugs Work
We design Ecobiotic® drugs using our proprietary microbiome therapeutics platform. This technology gives us insights into the microbiome associated with health and disease states, allowing us to create effective therapies that are designed to disrupt unhealthy microbial ecological networks and that catalyze the establishment of healthy ones. Ecobiotic® drugs are designed to rapidly and safely treat serious diseases by positively reshaping the microbiome.
Breaking Unhealthy Microbial Networks By Establishing Healthy Microbiome Communities
Our approach to drug design offers the first opportunity to treat a wide range of illnesses based on identifying and effectively treating the underlying disruptions to the human microbiome, or dysbiosis. We have advanced our lead Ecobiotic® drug, SER-109, a Phase 3 stage program for use in preventing recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, and plan to use our technology platform to develop an array of Ecobiotic® drugs to treat serious diseases.

...And on the next episode of Colby vs. Colby, Colby Rasmus drops down a bunt and hilarity ensues. Stay tuned for more...
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Colby Lewis wasn't exactly a fan of Blue Jays outfielder Rasmus's decision to beat a shift by lowering his bat for a bunt on Saturday in the Rangers' 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Rasmus then beat out Lewis's throw to first.
With Texas down 2-0 in the fifth inning, Lewis appeared visibly perplexed at the audacity of the Jays slugger's antics. Watch the MLB.com video by clicking here and see for yourself.
Those who are well versed in the ancient art of lip reading may be able to make out the words "swing the bat," which appear to be uttered by the struggling starter (6.37 ERA, 2.84 WHIP).
Lewis also told MLB.com he "didn't appreciate" the move by Rasmus and implied it was bad baseball etiquette, which some people thought was, well, a stretch.

Colby Lewis misplaced his anger over Colby Rasmus' bunt. He should be mad at himself for his 6.37 ERA and his team for its 39-58 record.— Andy Resnik (@AndyResnik)

What do you think? Was Rasmus wrong to bunt against the shift? Or was Lewis wrong to get upset?

His creator, Ian Fleming, endowed Agent 007 with many remarkable skills, but mastery of disguise is one he acquired only after Fleming's death. From brooding Sean Connery to icy blond Daniel Craig, everybody wants to know: Who is the real James Bond?
That eternal question was of no small concern to veteran thriller writer Jeffery Deaver when he accepted an assignment from Ian Fleming Publications Ltd., which administers the author's lucrative posthumous career, to create the latest authorized 007 novel, Carte Blanche. But given his own mastery of the spy writer's tradecraft - among Deaver's many awards is the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger from Britain's Crime Writers' Association, received for his novel The Garden of Beasts - he quickly developed an authoritative profile of the famous shape-shifter.
"I did not go back to the movies at all," Deaver confessed during a noon-hour interview in Toronto this week, looking gaunt but still sharp after four radio interviews with distant stations mixed with early-morning work on a new novel. As with so much of the material that eventually became Carte Blanche, Deaver found his inspiration in the words of the creator.
"Ian Fleming felt that Bond most closely resembled the American musician Hoagy Carmichael," the author reveals. "So I downloaded a picture of him and put it next to my computer. He was the fellow I had in mind as I wrote."
That unusual image is typical of Deaver's original turn on a potentially tired formula. He may look like Hoagy Carmichael, but Deaver's Bond has all the moves necessary to keep a 21st-century thriller clipping right along - as well as the gadgets to match, beginning with a wicked smartphone loaded with killer apps.
In homage to the master, Deaver assiduously provides all the necessary elements of a classic Bond thriller - the colourfully pathological villains, the fast cars, the fine wines, the Walther pistol and, of course, the many femmes fatales and otherwise, with names that become increasingly preposterous with each introduction until the climatic appearance of one Felicity Willing. Pushing the envelope of plausibility to the breaking point without collapsing into parody - another Fleming specialty - Deaver's breakneck plot begins with sabotage in Serbia and skips from one geopolitical hot spot to another until it lands 007 in Cape Town and the arms of the beautiful, incorruptible and perversely Bond-resistant South African police officer Bheka Jordaan.
But unlike Kingsley Amis and Sebastian Faulks - his two most distinguished predecessors as "continuation authors" of official Bond novels - Deaver makes no attempt to reproduce the style or Cold War milieu of the originals. His Bond is young enough to be the grandson of Fleming's, a veteran of the Afghan not the Second World War, and Deaver peppers his otherwise familiar biography with original touches.
"I think it was very important to bring Bond, the man, to life, which Fleming did through his persona in combat and in his relationships with Moneypenny and Q and Felix Leiter," Deaver said. "But I wanted to do a little bit more."
One result is a subplot in which Bond is tormented by revelations about the fate of his parents - killed in a mysterious mountain-climbing accident during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Most audaciously, Deaver has his Bond savour a brand-new cocktail. He not only looks like Hoagy Carmichael, he drinks Crown Royal and Triple Sec.
Once again, Deaver claims sanction from the creator of the literary if not the filmic Bond, pointing out that Fleming's secret agent drank "relatively few" martinis. "He did have them shaken, not stirred," allowed Deaver, who explains why for the first time in Carte Blanche, "but he drank much more American bourbon and Canadian whisky."
If there is any guiding formula to the book as a whole, Deaver added, it is wholly his own - something he insisted on when he agreed to continue the never-ending story.
"My only requirement was that I be the author and I was going to write the kind of thriller that I normally write," he said. "It's a typical Deaver format."
That means it moves at an amazing pace over a four-day span, with a new do-or-die deadline ever few chapters, constant gunfights, surprise twists and giddy reversals. When it comes to writing thrillers, a reviewer in Britain's Telegraph newspaper commented, "Deaver is a far better craftsman than Fleming."
As for the gadgets so integral to the Bond franchise, Deaver is ambivalent. "Spies use technology, and you could not write a spy novel without it," the author said. "But you should not rely on it too much."
There are richer veins of intrigue in the never-ending story of James Bond, according to his latest creator. "What it comes down to is Bond mano-a-mano with the villain," he said. "That's where the real excitement comes from. It's about the human drama, about betrayal, and good versus evil." Themes that were already ancient when Ian Fleming was young - and will never grow old.

http://ps3.qj.net/Classic-Midway-gam...g/49/aid/78565Sony Online Entertainment has recently announced that it has licensed rights from Midway Home Entertainment Inc, to develop and release six classic Midway games via download through the PlayStation Network. SOE adds that the first game should be available early 2007.
The six titles are: Mortal Kombat II, Gauntlet II, Joust, Rampage World Tour, Rampart, and Championship Sprint. SOE claims that each title was chosen for its multiplayer capability - a move that is obviously an attempt to boost traffic in the PlayStation Network.
Steve Allison, chief marketing officer of Midway had this to say:
We knew these titles would be a perfect fit for the PlayStation Network, and based on Sony Online Entertainments legacy in the online space as well as their intimate knowledge of the PlayStation Network, it was an obvious decision they would be a top company to work with to bring this project to fruition.
Thats very cool, Sony network is looking better

Wow. Not bad at all. I'll definately pick up MK II... and Rampart!
I just don't care about really old games, unless they are Streets of Rage, and Sonic. I'm sure they will come to the PS3 sooner or later as Sega sees what the PSN offers.I'm tired of the Killzone 2 hate. Attacking the game and calling it mediocre because it doesn't do anything different is absolutely ridiculous, because games like Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, Gears of War and many others are given free passes to high scores and critical praise from everyone despite the FACT that they do nothing different either. Killzone 2 should not be thrown to the curb.
