Stringing up the Western sheriff
Note: This is the editor's note for our Western elections guide. The other elections stories are listed at the end.
The people were angry about a political system that seemed hopelessly corrupt. Waves of immigrants were flooding in and everything felt chaotic. The economy soared and plummeted, driven by naked greed, profiteering businesses, and the manipulations of bankers and speculators. A distant national war darkened the mood. There was a terrible housing crisis.
Desperate voters elected a leader they hoped would bring change. Then they decided that he was the demon responsible for many of their troubles. So they rose up and -- without a reasonable weighing of evidence -- snugged a noose around his neck and hanged him from a downtown gallows.
Sound familiar? These events all took place in Bannack, a gold-rush camp that became the first capital of Montana Territory, in 1863 and '64. Yet the same description sums up the current political and psychological turmoil in many Western communities.
Today's housing crisis involves home-mortgage schemes and foreclosures, rather than prospectors scrambling for shelter in tents, cabins, wagons and other crannies. The distant war is in Afghanistan and Iraq instead of Gettysburg and Bull Run. The noose isn't an actual hemp rope, like the one in the hands of Bannack's vigilantes, who strung up Sheriff Henry Plummer because they thought he secretly ran a gang of bandits. Instead, it symbolizes the attitude many people now have toward their perceived political foes.
The 2010 Tea Party movement, the many other alarmists on both the right and left, the smear ads and raging campaign speeches, the "talk" shows that are more about yelling, the cynical, smirking bloggers -- all encourage us to blame the other guy and his politics for our troubles.
This issue's cover displays a provocative image and headline -- "Lynch-Mob Politics" -- to capture the mood during the countdown to the Nov. 2 elections. But our stories don't dwell on extreme rhetoric and charges and countercharges. High Country News succinctly analyzes the races in 11 Western states, with an introduction providing Westwide context. In a sidebar, freelance writer John Dougherty -- a frequent HCN contributor -- offers an unusual firsthand account of his truly maverick run for a Senate seat in Arizona.
No other news operation provides this kind of regional elections coverage. HCN is not local, national or international. We are Western. Our elections package is for readers who are interested in the various Western states and the themes that define this region and set it apart from any other.
Because of the scope of the territory involved, our elections package is substantial -- more than 8,000 words. That's another thing about HCN: We're not afraid to run long pieces, because we're designed for serious readers who want substance. And our coverage strives to be analytical -- avoiding the typical he-says, she-says superficiality -- because we're trying to make some sense of what's behind all the smoke and noise.

California: Dope, eBay, pollution and moonbeams

My Conclusions on the Manning Files
The bottom line on the Manning Files for me is that they are, at best, a guide, a jumping-off point, for further research. That's it. They certainly are not gospel.
The Mannings wrote these volumes for their family and friends in Barnwell County. Many, many people contributed information that the Mannings did not verify.
They wrote in the preface to each book a disclaimer regarding errors. In Volume VII dated November 1968 that contains our Reed info, they wrote, "They were double checked, yet there will be errors. If you find errors don't tell us, just write a bigger and better record yourself." In most volumes I checked I found simply, "If you find errors don't tell us, just do a better job yourself." (Comma splices theirs.)
The verification is up to us, folks. So, please do not assume it's true just because it was found in the Manning Files.
A few errors that jumped off the page were:
1. Samuel's service in the Revolutionary War (couldn't have been here then if his son Hugh was born in Ireland in 1783) (subject of future blog post)
2. Lavisa Reed Hair's death date is listed incorrectly as 1827. This error is repeated in the Hair section of the files. And it has been copied erroneously many, many times. (subject of future blog post)
3. Incorrect statement that Samuel's son John married Julia Odom first and Emelia Odom second (It was the other way around; Julia was mother to all his children except his first son Benjamin whose mother Emelia, who was Julia's oldest sister, died most likely in childbirth.)
4. My 2gGF James Henry Reed listed as James W; wife listed as incorrectly as Anna; children listed for this James W. are incorrect for my James H.
I could go on and on, but it's just not worth it. I appreciate very much the massive effort the Mannings put into these volumes, but we just cannot count on the accuracy of the information they were given. Repeating erroneous information over and over does not make it true.
Suffice it to say, dear cousins, it's our job to write that bigger and better record.

Thank you for your observations on the Manning Files. Since I can't access that information from here in Arizona, I really appreciate your willingness to share. It has been my experience that a lot of "first person" information is not as accurate as you would expect. It is, as you say, often a case of misinformation being repeated.ReplyDelete
I was wondering, however, if the Manning Files had confused your James H. Reed with my James W. Reed. James W. is my 2g grandfather and his wife was Anna Tyler. Both would have been grandsons of Samuel and Mary Clark and their birth and death dates are almost identical. I have James H. Reed as 1825-1901 and James W. Reed as 1827-1901. It would have been easy for these men to have been mixed up by the person relating or recording information.
Henry, you are absolutely correct!ReplyDelete
I did get copies of the Reed pages in the Manning Files. When I checked, your James W. is listed under my John and Julia Odom Reed's children as marrying "Annah H. _____, b. Aug. 31, 1829." I checked my Tyler resource (Al Brodie's book - more on that soon), and see that your James W.'s wife Ann Rebecca Tyler has a birthdate of Aug 31, 1828. The Mannings listed two children here (Al lists 13). They are Ann Jane 1847-1849 and Henrietta 1853-1879. These two children were listed by Al as James W. & Anna Tyler Reed's (along with 11 other children)!
In the Manning Files under Hugh, where this listing should be, it shows "James W. Reed; m. Annie Tyler." No further listing that I've found.
Now I can see where my James sometimes is given the middle initial W.
Good thinking! Thank you!

Ron Artest with 7 steals.
Quote from: Dressel Rebel on November 2, 2006, 01:46 PMRon Artest with 7 steals.7 cars in one night is an awful lot of theft, even for Artest.
Hey Scott do me a solid - now that you've got Eddy Curry on your fantasy hoops squad hop over here to NY and take the real Eddy Curry too. And Marbury. And Francis. And most of the bench. Just leave me Channing Frye and 11 draft picks.
Also a big F-U to Brad Miller and the Kings for not disclosing the fact his ******* foot hurt all preseason. Plantar Fascia injuries can be season ending...******
Curry I also do not want, he turns the ball over a ton and refuses to rebound consistently.
I can't believe you gave up on Starbury so easily
Woo hoo Pierce got me a triple double; 35 pts, 13 rebs, & 12 TOs.
Thanks Dressel for dumping Dalembert, I was going to draft him in the 11th Round when my computer froze, I got randolph who has been a machine and now the guy I wanted anyway...thanks again!
Luke Walton however, there's a nice pickup for plug 'n' play.

Eddie feeling better
Eddie Redmayne arrived in LA yesterday with ... a lot of luggage. Given that he's been the best dressed man so far during award season, this is understandable. He needs his gear. Let the man have his gear. Last time we heard from Eddie Redmayne he was throwing up at the BAFTAs. Happily he's made a full recovery. This boy can't afford to lose much weight, if any at all.
Eddie, obviously, is here for the Oscars. He'll be performing alongside his Les Miserables castmates so we'll get to see his lip quiver again. I've been wondering about the girlfriend, Hannah Bagshawe, who seems to be totally absent from the circuit. I've been looking too -- every time there are photos, I check to see the periphery, see if she's there in the background, just not focused on by photographers. If I've missed her, I apologise. But if this is the case, and she indeed hasn't been around, does that have something to do with how the teens have taken to him?

Water main break floods Elk Grove street
Franklin Boulevard affected
ELK GROVE, Calif. (KCRA) —
A section of Franklin Boulevard is closed in Elk Grove on Tuesday, due to a water main break.

Hi all,
I have to admit that i am a newbie to programming and i have never really started on programming except for simple macro writing in Excel.
I am thinking of writing a program that can be converted to a .exe file to assist me in my job.
I am running a IT helpdesk and i need to troubleshoot PCs.
While calling customers, i would require certain info like COmputer Name, Ip Address and Mac Address. It is not nice asking users to follow steps, like keying ipconfig/all to get the info.
I want to create a progam that can be displayed on customers' desktops so that upon clicking the program, the info can be displayed in a window or a message box to users.
Can anyone advise me?

We've reached the end of the Ben Bernanke era as he gave his final press conference last week. Gone was the tension as he seemed at ease and satisfied with his body of work and his legacy. As you know, I've been a supporter for two reasons. First, he is a great student of the Great Depression and was the right man in the right place at the right time. Sentiment has been against him since the beginning of the crisis. He told a story about how sentiment was 50/50 when it came to TARP. 50% said "no," and the other 50% said "hell no."
To all the detractors, what were they supposed to do? Balance the budget? In hindsight, they could have been more diligent about how the TARP money was spent. Let's understand something: When a crisis like 2008 hit, the worst possible outcome is doing nothing. Because there is no such thing as on-the-job training, all parties involved must come up with a plan to get the patient out of intensive care. If it really is true we were over the cliff, all parties involved should be considered heroes. People are upset, and rightfully so, that the banks horded the money and still do, and it's much tougher to get a loan now than at any time before they pushed the panic button. This is not Bernanke's fault, as QE might have ended at least a year ago if not for the dysfunction in Congress that persists to this day. So we close the book on Chairman Ben as he rides off into the sunset.
Somehow the stock market limped into the 144-day time window, making new highs on the DAX, NDX, SPX, BKX, SOX and Transports either right on the window or within a day or two of it. We are in the home stretch of this window, which actually extends into day 146 (Fibonacci 14.6), but the first three days are the strongest, which means we'll have a good idea if this window is going to validate tomorrow.
I know what some of you are thinking. This time window stuff doesn't work because the market has breezed beyond every single one in 2013. I have news for you. Neither Gann nor Fibonacci is a crystal ball. If you are involved in financial markets in any way, your job is to evaluate risk. Some of you do it looking at earnings. Markets are not driven by earnings. Let me repeat that. Markets are not driven by earnings. They are driven by the reaction to earnings. But at the end of the day, the underlying structure of technical analysis is driven by Fibonacci, Gann and time. Right now, because the markets are in line with the best pivot of 2013, which was the June bottom, this is the best opportunity for them to change direction. If it doesn't do it, we'll know how strong the underlying structure still is.
There are a handful of scenarios at this point. One is the market peaks now and has a five- to six-week correction into the 261-week/five-year anniversary of the 2009 low period. Another is it continues into the March anniversary, at which time risk would be even higher than it is right now. Recall the last time we had a 261-week top. It was the most important pivot of the decade and perhaps our lifetime. Why am I not saying that this time around? Simply put, the sequel never equals the original. Then the timing is wrong. Markets tend to top and crash (if they are going to crash) in October. For some reason, markets don't crash in March. Is it because the sample size isn't big enough? We've seen October crashes in 1929, 1987 and 2008. But we did see an important top in 2000. It's possible to top in March, apparently. A variation of the pullback into the March anniversary would be a sideways consolidation for the next few weeks and then have the rally continue ever onward.
Already we've seen some bearish activity in this window with Citigroup, which was down 4% last week on earnings. Earnings are important but it reacts to the window. I can't explain this, nor do I understand it, but for many years when a time window would hit, a news event would manifest. The most famous example I can give you was when they took out Osama Bin Laden in May 2011 at the intersection of 609 days (Fibonacci 610) and 903 degrees on a square of 9 in the crude oil market. The next best example was the time Bernanke went up to the Senate Banking Committee in the summer of 2008, when the BKX was 144 weeks off its top. That was the time senators roasted him for his stance the housing crisis was being contained. I shouldn't really give him a pass for that, but if he knew the truth would he really bang the table and risk upsetting markets? The senators sure didn't as they grilled him and the SEC instituted a ban on naked short sales of banking stocks that day. It was Custer's Last Stand as the BKX rallied for the next 10 weeks until the Lehman crisis hit. We are here now. I'm very curious to see what is going to happen not only to the news but I'm concerned mostly about the banking sector which has its own Gann reading.

DENVER The Colorado Avalanche will be without Steve Downie for the rest of the season after the forward tore his anterior cruciate ligament against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.
The team announced Wednesday he soon will undergo surgery.
Downie left the game in the second period as the Avalanche rallied for a 3-1 win over the defending Stanley Cup champions. He had an assist in the season-opener in Minnesota last weekend.
Acquired from Tampa Bay last February, Downie was an immediate contributor, scoring two goals and dishing out 11 assists in 20 games with the Avalanche.
After the season, Colorado signed the 25-year-old to a two-year deal.
Downie was a first-round selection of Philadelphia in the 2005 draft.

LoadingReadyRun: The Job

So it begins.
Hopefully they will put some of the other LRR videos on here from before because they are just so funny :)
"you know I probably coulda moved that with my mivd"
This is so ridiculous it might just work.
I just noticed that one of the objects Jer is levitating is one of the Warriors of Darkness dolls. Awesome.
Oh, if you watch only one old LRR video, make it "The Truce."
They were probably playing DOTA XD
I did mention that Morgan would most likely be DOTA-ing but didn't consider Bill being with him! Good call!
I went the kind road and thought that Bill would be doing as was previously announced mid-November or something, that Bill is going to be concentrating more on the schooling 'n stuffs.
Did I? I don't remember that. I shall have to investigate. I have worked and am good friends with an a songwriter who's currently on the radio and has had a recent string of top 10 hits in the country music charts. He was a student of my father's, and we share the same legal adviser. Jonathan Singleton. You should Google him.
P.S. Thanks Tim, and bakonslayer, and Hileict.
Ah, thanks for the clarification, Sir Bradley! I certainly recognized a lot of the music referenced during your segment on that LRRcast, I remember hearing it and going "Holy crap, I heard that yesterday while driving home... In Australia! :O"
And now that you mention Jonathan Singleton, I'm sure that's who I heard! Either way, awesome stuff ^^
I love this. The ending was perfect.
Ahhh I know who you're talking about now. You're talking about Pete Murray. He's Australian. And I did a cover of his song 'Opportunity' which I played at the end of that podcast segment.
He and that song are virtually unknown here in the States, much like I am in Australia.
And here in the States, come to think of it.
Lets be honest, Bill and Morgan would just sit on the couch while it was being moved anyway.
...How did I not remember Pete Murray? :O I knew I recognized something from the segment.. Either way, you're definitely talented! Always good to hear your work accompanying LRR's videos!
Morgan and Bill sitting on the couch.. Wouldn't -that- be even more awesome comedy! \o/ Speaking of which, anyone else notice the "Morgan" written over that couch on the plans? Anyone get what the other couch has written on it..?
I'm not entirely sure what I just watched, but it was amusing so I'll go with it.
Is it just me, or was that not funny.
Care to elaborate at all, daxter? What didn't make it funny? What would you have preferred? I, personally (and hypothetically, if I were producing a weekly web series), would prefer that people who found it funny and people who didn't find it funny elaborate and discuss what could make it better. There's no point saying "That wasn't funny" when you're not saying at all why it wasn't funny. It's common courtesy if nothing more..
Nice buildup to a whoopie cushion...couch. I LoLed!
Now it's the Escapist's Editor slo-mo walk scene turn!
After watching the latest episode of Unskippable and then this, I am confident that LoadingReadyRun is a good thing for the Escapist.
AHAHAHAH!! I just started watching around Desert Bus. (Actually, two days into Desert bus because I was home from school with Shingles, then I saw some of the other stuff). I'm glad you guys got this onto the escapist, and I hope you enjoy your new expanded fanbase.
I wasn't really going to type a full thing, I just wanted to know if I was alone or not on finding it not funny.
I guess if the show actually gets a plot, and changes its pop culture/stupid joke structure it could be better >.>
Also, This is not me starting a flame war. Its me answering a question.
I can't wait to see what you guys do!
Wait, so is this a permanent arrangement? is the series from this episode forward going to appear on the escapist only? I'm ashamed to say that this sudden appearance is a complete surprise to me...
the couch thing hit me unprepared really busted out laughing there
omg man, the setup was long, but the climax unexpectedly funny!!
Great work, never doubted the move for a second, keep doing what your doing.
"You know I could have just done that with my mind right?" "god damn it Jer!"
haha, this should be great.
The latest Unskippable is there, its the video next to LRR, "The Last Remnant, Part 2".
Awesome, that's all I asked and you delivered quite well! Thanks for the quick response, man. Major kudos to you for that. One thing though, I think someone from LRR will most likely explain fully later, but this is sketch comedy. There is -no- plot. Each and every episode is completely different and written as an entirely new video. Different characters, different situations. Sometimes, you'll get some extra throw-backs to past videos and such as a sort of fan-service, etc.. But yeah, there's not exactly a continuation.
commodoreHustle, the web series LRR started 2008-2009 was a continuing plot line and such, with a season finale and all, but that's changing in some way. In what way, I don't know, that's LRR's directive on how they end up doing it for The Escapist.
To those of you who have only just become familiar with LRR it should probably be pointed out that it's not a "series" really. It's sketch comedy. That is, it doesn't have an over-arching story or a consistent continuity (except to an extent in commodoreHUSTLE videos). So if you're watching this video and trying to imagine where this story is going to go, the answer is nowhere. And since they do something different every week, there's no reason you shouldn't keep watching if you didn't like this week's thing. Especially if you like Unskippable and/or ENN.
If you'd like a better idea of what to expect, check out some of the videos on their website: www.loadingreadyrun.com
That was brilliant!!
Graham and Paul are officially taking over the Escapist
I was hoping for a hustle update. Ah well, funny as usual.
Also, some CGI? Good job.
The guys above have pretty much got it. This video series isn't going to be some plot-continuous thing, just one-off skits every week.
If this week's video didn't work for you, check back next week for something completely different. (and oh how different it will be... ;) ).
Glad to see so many people enjoying this though! Thanks for watchning!
LRR I am appoint with your first Escapist vid.

text: I have always been startled and fascinated by the sandlike abundance of galaxies sprinkled across the night sky. One of the most sensitive optical images ever made by human beings, the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, captures some 10,000 galaxies in an area about 1/100th the size of the full moon. Scaled up to the whole sky, such a density implies a total of 200 billion or so galaxies. And those are just the most luminous ones; the true number is probably much larger. How did all those galaxies come to be? This question inspired me to become an astronomer and has been the focus of my research career. Over the years my naive way of looking at galaxies has changed. To judge by their sheer numbers, nature appears to be quite good at producing galaxies. Not so. If you add up all the visible matter in galaxies today, you get only about a tenth of the total endowment created by the big bang. Where is the rest, and why did it not end up in galaxies? These are two of the biggest puzzles in astronomy today.

Mayor Lozeau says state of Nashua is 'great'By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
February 19. 2013 10:31PM
NASHUA - By embracing new challenges, preparing for the future and working hard as a collective community, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau said Tuesday that Nashua is continuing on a track of great success.
"Tonight marks the sixth time I have come before the board to report the state of our city. I have been fortunate each year to report to you that the state of Nashua is good. In fact, it has been great," Lozeau told the Board of Aldermen, adding this year is no exception.
Mentioning major projects within the city, including the Broad Street Parkway, Jackson Falls Dam improvements, downtown renovations and the city's Riverwalk, the mayor said during her annual State of the City address that many new and old efforts are helping to make the city an even better community.
"Nashua's continuing story is inspiring in the face of a national economy, and to some extent a state economy, that is reported in dire condition," she said.
By working within a balanced budget, attracting businesses, improving infrastructure, updating capital equipment, providing quality education and protecting citizens, the city is thriving, according to Lozeau, who said all of these successes have been possible while keeping the tax burden reasonable.
"The city thrives because of the care and nurturing of a community of engaged citizens," said the mayor, adding she is enthusiastic about what can be accomplished by working in unison.
Lozeau highlighted the city's financial status, saying three rating agencies gave Nashua high scores, citing strong reserve levels, strong financial management and a diverse economy with good wealth indicators and low overall debt.
"Good financial management allowed the city to complete a refunding, or a refinancing of bonds that saved the city $2 million dollars .," said the mayor. "The city was able to sell them at an average interest rate of 2.86 percent. This is an excellent rate, and one of the lowest in the city's history."
While nearly all of the comments made by Lozeau on Tuesday were positive, she did have some harsh words for five Nashua Police Department employee unions that have not reached new contract agreements. The employees of those five unions, she said, are working under previously negotiated contracts, meaning they are receiving the same benefits at a lower cost than what their colleagues have been contributing since October 2011.
That shortfall will equal about $438,415 at the end of the month, according to Lozeau, who called on the unions to reach a reasonable resolution that reflects fairness and equity achieved in the other employee contracts.
"When the chips are down, there is no credible argument for special treatment of discrete groups. We are all in this together," she said.
The most significant fiscal challenge facing the city is a 26 percent increase that the New Hampshire Retirement System has passed on to Nashua, according to Lozeau, who said that represents an increase of $3.7 million for the city.
The mayor also mentioned the city's acquisition of Pennichuck Corp. last year, saying the municipality has made very good progress transitioning the Pennichuck water utility to city ownership.
"During the upcoming year, as a member of the Pennichuck board of directors, I will continue to ensure that good communications between the company and the public will continue," she said. "We should remain proud to have helped bring our city's precious water resources under public control."
Lozeau said Nashua remains the best place in the world to work, live and raise a family, which she contends did not happen by accident.
"I feel fortunate to have more than 87,000 fellow citizens from diverse backgrounds who strengthen us with their hard work, education, volunteerism and deep cultural diversity," said the mayor. " . Amazing things can and do happen when people work cooperatively and toward the same goal. Though specific goals may vary and contrast, I believe it is everyone's goal to improve the city they call home and leave it a better place for their children and grandchildren."

I don't understand why these no trespassing laws even exist in the first place. They are rarely, if ever, enforced. There is no reason a person should not be able to cross train tracks. The article on the topic said that at a specific crossing, they expected 100,000 - 200,000 crossings per year. That's just one spot. That means there are millions and millions of safe crossings without episode.

How about no loitering on the tracks?
Walking a safe distance from the tracks, along the tracks, should be legal and safely crossing them should be legal.

Jude the Obscure
Thomas Hardy's last novel, Jude the Obscure , is undoubtedly his most thought provoking work, a fact which corresponds with the seriousness and depth with which Hardy explores and gropes with the very foundation and framework of human life in a world that insists on playing a heavy handed, and to great extent destructive, role in the manipulation of the individual's destiny.
What aggravates the dilemma of human life in Jude the obscure is that Hardy substitutes a turbulent and disconnected setting for his traditionally stable agriculture and rural one.
This change has a profound effect on the psychology of the characters of the novel.
Richard Carpenter refers to this new atmosphere which penetrates in to the felling of the characters when he states that in Jude the Obscure.
Hardy turns away from agricultural setting and pastoral myth to restless world of cities and psychological insecurities.
The sense of psychological insecurity which the major characters suffer takes deeper roots due to the fact that customs and conventions sanctioned by society are being questioned and even challenged by these characters.
In the study of Thomas Hardy, Lawrence indicates that the characters of Hardy's novel are shown to be struggling hard to come into being.
Lawrence's statement applies perfectly well to the major characters of Jude the obscure, and this in turn makes meaningful their questioning and challenging of the norms of their society.
In other words These characters in their attempt to come to themselves, find out that they are hampered by fixed social norms, which they try to fight off.
The peculiar strength of this struggle makes them the most unconventional of all Hardy`s characters, and explains why Hardy once intended to call this novel the Recalcitrant s .

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An historic Northern California oyster farm along Point Reyes National Seashore will be shut down and the site converted to a wilderness area, U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced on Thursday.
Salazar said he will not renew the Drakes Bay Oyster Co. lease that expires Friday. The move will bring a close to a yearslong environmental battle over the site.
"After careful consideration of the applicable law and policy, I have directed the National Park Service to allow the permit for the Drakes Bay Oyster Co. to expire ... and to return the Drakes Estero to the state of wilderness that Congress designated for it in 1976," Salazar said in a statement.
Salazar visited the oyster farm last week and said he did not make the decision lightly.
Point Reyes National Seashore was added to the national parks system by Congress in 1962, and protects more than 80 miles of California coastline.
The Interior secretary also has the power to lease the park's lands for dairy and cattle-ranching purposes. Currently there are 15 beef and dairy ranches operating along the Point Reyes seashore. Those ranches will remain open under the decision Thursday.
Oyster farm owner Kevin Lunny, whose family also operates one of the cattle ranches, said he was disappointed by the decision and was still trying to figure out his next move. He had been asking for a 10-year extension of his lease.
"This is going to be devastating to our families, our community and our county," Lunny said. "This is wrong beyond words in our opinion."
He said Salazar called to tell him about the decision.
Lunny bought the oyster company in 2004, knowing the lease expired in 2012. But his lawyers felt an extension could be negotiated, so he decided to take on the fight.
The company will have to remove its property from park land and waters within 90 days. Because the lease was set to expire, the company gets no compensation for the decision.
Salazar did not stop all commercial activities in the park. He sought to extend the terms of the cattle ranch leases from 10 to 20 years.
"Ranching operations have a long and important history on the Point Reyes peninsula and will be continued at Point Reyes National Seashore," he said.
Environmentalists and the National Park Service said the farm's operations threatened nearby harbor seals and other native species. The area is a key pupping site for the seals.
The oyster farm had many powerful allies who fought vociferously on its behalf. Many hailed the oyster operation as an example of sustainable aquaculture and the local foods movement.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and the National Academy of Sciences claimed park officials were trying to get rid of the oyster farm by exaggerating its negative impacts on the environment.
On Thursday, Feinstein said she was extremely disappointed by the decision by Salazar that will put 30 people out of work.
"The National Park Service's review process has been flawed from the beginning with false and misleading science," she said in a statement.
To resolve the dispute over the seals, more than $1 million in taxpayer money was spent on environmental assessment studies, according to records. That study was used by Salazar to make his final decision.
California's other senator, Barbara Boxer, voiced support for Salazar's choice, saying he made his decision based on science and law.
Conservationists rejoiced at the move, saying it will return one of the few coastal wildernesses in the country to its natural state.
"Protecting Drakes Estero, America's only West Coast marine wilderness park, will restore health — and hope — for the ocean and for the interests of all of the people of this country," oceanographer Sylvia Earle said.
Associated Press writer Terry Chea in San Francisco contributed to this report.

A medium-sized (to 150 cm but mostly <100 cm) deepwater, bottom dwelling shark distributed throughout the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean and possibly off Mozambique at known depths of 60 to 660 m. Taken primarily as bycatch by offshore bottom and pelagic trawlers in the Mediterranean Sea and the Northeast Atlantic. Survey data for the Mediterranean indicate that the species is now rare in the western (Morocco, Spain and France) and eastern (Aegean) areas and absent from the eastern central area (Adriatic, Ionian and Albania). However, records in the Adriatic and Ionian, suggest that the species still exists there in unknown numbers. In another survey, the species was also absent in the Gulf of Lions where it once occurred, indicating that it may be locally extinct in that region. The large spiny dorsal fins and relatively large body size make this species particularly vulnerable to capture in nets and its depth distribution lies entirely within the depth of fisheries throughout much of its range. The mortality of discards is likely to be high given the depths of capture. The current extremely low level of abundance throughout much of this species former range, and evidence for local scale declines, suggests an assessment of Critically Endangered in the Mediterranean. Off southern Africa, O. centrina is only known from a few specimens. It may occasionally be caught as bycatch in trawl fisheries there, but at present it is not possible to assess this species beyond Data Deficient in this region. Data are lacking on population trends in the Northeast Atlantic, however, given the high fishing pressure throughout much of its range in the Northeast Atlantic, the growing trend in deep sea fishing, the vulnerable life-history characteristics, and susceptibility to capture, there is no reason to suspect that it has not also declined in this region. Based on the species unproductive life history characteristics and documented declines in the Mediterranean as well as inferred declines in the Northeast Atlantic, and continuing fishing pressure through much of its range, the species is assessed as Vulnerable globally, on the basis of suspected and documented past and future declines.
|Range Description:
|Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean (entire coast from Straits of Gibraltar to Israel, but absent from the Black Sea), down to South Africa. Possibly off Mozambique in the Indian Ocean (Compagno in prep).

|Relatively wide ranging. Rare in some parts (e.g., Angola, Atlantic coast of South Africa) and uncommon in others (northern Namibia, Mediterranean Sea) (Compagno in prep).
Catch data for O. centrina in the Mediterranean exists for the period from 1994 to 1999 (at depths from 10 to 800 m) as part of the Mediterranean International Trawl Survey (MEDITS). During this period, O. centrina was recorded in only 0.6% of tows, with the majority of catches made at between 100 to 200 m depth (STECF 2004). Regional biomass indexes indicate that the species is more common in the western central Mediterranean (Tyrrhenian, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily) with a lower biomass index in the western (Morocco, Spain and France) and eastern (Aegean) Mediterranean areas. During these surveys, it was found to be absent from the Eastern central Mediterranean (Adriatic, Ionian and Albania) (STECF 2004).
Trawl surveys in 1948 indicated that the species was once present, though uncommon (0.21 % of hauls, 0.25% of surveys, estimated density of 1.15 kg km-2) in the Adriatic and the absence of the species in subsequent MEDITS surveys suggests that it may be locally extinct from the area (Dulvy et al. 2003). However, there have been recent records of juveniles caught in the central Adriatic (Lipej et al. 2004, A. Soldo pers. comm). Also, data collected during other (DESEAS) surveys of the Balearic Sea and Ionian Sea found one specimen in the western Ionian Sea at 800 m (Sion et al. 2004). Apparently then, O. centrina still exists in the Eastern central Mediterranean in unknown numbers.
Between 1957 and 1960 O. centrina was captured in approximately 6% of hauls (n=27) in shelf surveys (coast to 150 m) and in approximately 6% of hauls (n=37) in slope surveys (150 to 800 m) in the Gulf of Lions, France (Aldebert 1997). Although it persisted in catches at low abundance up to 1992, it was subsequently absent in 139 hauls made during a trawl survey spanning 1994 to 1995 (Aldebert 1997), suggesting that the species is locally extinct from this area (Dulvy et al. 2003). MEDITS data for the period from 1994 to 1999 found lower abundances in the west than in other areas of the Mediterranean, although the species was present (STECF 2004).
Northeast Atlantic
This species was absent in a recent and intensive study of the deepwater longline fishery for sharks off the Canary Islands, where it was previously present (Hernandez et al. 1997). There is no information on the abundance of this species elsewhere in the region.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is found from 60 to 660 m depth (Serena 2005), but mostly below 100 m. Sion et al. (2004) stated a record of one specimen caught at 800m of depth. Found on coralline and muddy bottoms, mostly between 100 and 200 m depth in the northern Mediterranean sea.
Size at maturity has been reported at between 50 and 70 cm (Serena 2005) and Capapé et al. (1999) reported that a larger size at maturity in females (66 cm) than in males (60 cm). The species reaches a maximum size of 150 cm TL (Serena 2005, Compagno et al. 2005) although Compagno (in prep.) notes that most individuals are less than 100 cm. Indeed, Capapé et al. (1999) reported maximum lengths of 64 cm and 78 cm for males and females respectively.
Ovoviviparous, producing litters of 10 to 12 pups once a year (Capapé et al. 1999). Size at birth has been reported between from 21 to 24 cm [or <25 cm (Compagno et al. 2005)] with an average of 22.83 cm (Capapé et al.1999).
Feeds on polychaetes, crustaceans and molluscs (Compagno in prep).
|Major Threat(s):
Primarily caught in the Mediterranean Sea and the Northeast Atlantic as a minor bycatch by large offshore bottom and pelagic trawl fleets (Compagno in prep). Mediterranean Benthic trawl effort has increased in both intensity and efficiency in the shelf and slope area of the Mediterranean over the last 50 years. For example, the Gulf of Lions area was initially exploited by small-scale benthic trawl fisheries, comprising 27 small low powered boats (total nominal horse power of 2,700 hp), and more recently effort has increased to a total nominal horse power of 19,940 hp (1974 to 1987). Since then half of the fishing effort has been displaced to targeting small pelagic fish (Aldebert 1997). The Adriatic Sea is subject to trawling mainly by Italian, Croatian, Slovenian, and Albanian fleets, however, no landings data are available (Jukic-Peladic et al. 2001). In the southern Mediterranean and off the Tunisian coasts this species is fished at depths of 60 to 100 m, where it reproduces (Bradaï et al. 2002). It is considered rare in Tunisian waters and is taken as bycatch with no economic value (M.N. Bradaï pers. obs). Most size classes are likely to be taken in fishing nets as the legal mesh size used in much of the Mediterranean is approximately 20 mm. Considering the large size at maturity (around 60 cm total body length), the exploitation of juveniles and probability of capture before breeding is likely to be high. The depth range of this species (60 to 660 m) lies entirely within the range of deepwater fisheries in the Mediterranean. Therefore it will not be protected by the ban on bottom trawling below depths of 1,000 m in the Mediterranean, adopted by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) in February 2005. According to Dulvy et al. (2003) the large spiny dorsal fins and relatively large body size, may make this species vulnerable to fishing exploitation, however Serena (pers. obs.) has commented that the species is of no commercial value in the Mediterranean and is usually discarded immediately because fishermen in the region believe that it brings bad luck. Discards have sometimes been observed alive (Serena pers. obs.), however, there are no data on the post release survival of the species and mortality is likely to be high given the depth at capture.
It is widely acknowledged that there has been a fairly rapid increase in deepwater fishing activities in the Northeast Atlantic with overall concern for the sustainability of deepwater fish stocks (Gordon et al. 2003). Oxynotus centrina is known from depths which are entirely within the range of several longline, trawl and gillnet fisheries operating throughout the Northeast Atlantic distribution of the species. The species has already been shown to be vulnerable to being taken as bycatch in the Mediterranean and is also likely to be subject to bycatch pressure in the Northeast Atlantic. There is a continuing trend of increasing deepwater fishing activities in the Northeast Atlantic, while regulation is often lagging. Deepwater sharks are potentially at risk from these activities although little species-specific information is available. Oxynotus centrina may also be caught occasionally as bycatch in trawl fisheries off South Africa but there are insufficient data to support this and the taxonomy of specimens caught there remains uncertain.
|Conservation Actions:
|There is an urgent need for the monitoring of landings and bycatch of this species and the collection of distribution and life history data in order to better understand the population structure and trends. The development and implementation of management plans (national and/or regional e.g., under the FAO International Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks: IPOA-Sharks) are required to facilitate the conservation and sustainable management of all chondrichthyan species in the region.

Somehow, the image of a slow-speed chase comes to mind:
Federal agents have "wrapped up their search of The Scooter Store's offices in New Braunfels," the San Antonio Express-News reports.
It seems that on Wednesday and Thursday, the Express-News says, "about 150 law enforcement offices — including from the FBI, the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Texas attorney general's Medicaid Fraud Control — swarmed The Scooter Store's offices."
They wanted to see the company's books and billing records. After all, in January CBS This Morning had reported that:
"Medicare fraud costs taxpayers an estimated $60 billion annually. One problem area is power wheelchairs, which cost the program hundreds of millions of dollars a year. ... The Scooter Store is the largest supplier of power wheelchairs in the country — the TV ads are everywhere. ... [Former salesman Brian] Setzer told CBS This Morning that the company's strategy was to 'bulldoze' doctors into writing prescriptions, so people would get the chairs, whether they needed them or not. 'They were just pushing harder and harder to get chairs sold,' Setzer said."
Scooter Store CEO Martin Landon, according to the Express-News, says "we are cooperating fully with the investigation." The company's employees "have been instructed to tell customers that the company is in full compliance with all federal rules and regulations."
Meanwhile, during our search for stories about what was happening in Texas, we came across another story from earlier this week about a different kind of scooting, and we can't resist passing it along. According to The Wall Street Journal:
"It happens regularly, airport officials say. A traveler requests a wheelchair, gets pushed to the front of the security line and screened — and then jumps up out of the chair and rushes off into the terminal.
" 'We call them miracles. They just start running with their heavy carry-ons,' said wheelchair attendant Kenny Sanchez, who has been pushing for more than 14 years."
As the Journal adds, "airports across the country say more able-bodied travelers have figured out they can use wheelchairs for convenience, making waits a lot longer for travelers with genuine needs. ... At Los Angeles International Airport, airlines and companies that provide wheelchair service estimate 15% of all requests are phony, said Lawrence Rolon, coordinator for disabled services for Los Angeles World Airports."
Sounds like a case for the Transportation Security Administration.
Update at 3 p.m. ET. More On All Things Considered:
Reporter Patrick Danner of the Express-News spoke with NPR's Melissa Block this afternoon. Details of the search warrant that was served on the company are under seal, he said. But in the past, the issue has been that the company's chairs may have been "prescribed to elderly people who don't have a legitimate need for them" and whether the company, as the former salesman told CBS This Morning, plays any part in that process. He noted that the company has never admitted any wrongdoing. Part of their conversation will be on today's All Things Considered. We'll add the audio to the top of this post later today.
In Texas, some 150 state and federal agents raided the world headquarters of the Scooter Store this week.
BLOCK: You may have seen their ads on TV. The Scooter Store is a major provider of power mobility devices - that's industry speak for motorized chairs and Scooters.
BLOCK: The company says its core ideology is always do the right thing, but the Scooter Store has had scrapes with the law. In 2007, it settled a federal lawsuit alleging Medicare and Medicaid fraud. And in 2011, an auditor found the company received tens of millions of dollars in overpayments from Medicare. Patrick Danner is following all this for the San Antonio Express News. And, Patrick, talk a bit about the raid this week on the Scooter Store's headquarters. It's in New Braunfels, Texas, 150 agents. It sounds like a huge raid. What was going on?
PATRICK DANNER: Well, they haven't said. They basically came in around 9 a.m. on Wednesday morning and directed employees to leave the building. Before they were able to leave, though, they had a checklist of employees that they apparently wanted to interview. So they asked employees to produce ID before they could leave the building.
And they handed out slips of paper with the 800-number for the FBI, I suppose in the hope that they might get some tips from employees. The details of the search warrant are under seal, so we don't really know what the authorities were looking for but we have talked to sources who indicate that it has to do with how the company bills for its equipment.
BLOCK: How it bills for its equipment. Well, we mentioned that the Scooter Store has been under scrutiny for some time for fraud. We mentioned the civil lawsuit by the Justice Department and the auditor's report. What's the concern here? What is the Scooter Store alleged to have done in the past?
DANNER: Well, the issue is that the motorized wheelchairs are being prescribed to elderly people who don't have a legitimate medical need for them. CBS News did a report that I think has brought more attention to all of this, that - in which they talked to some former employees who say that the company bulldozes doctors into prescribing these devices.
There have been efforts to crack down on that, but I just don't know if that's the issue this time.
BLOCK: Patrick, how big a business is this, the motorized scooter and wheelchair business?
DANNER: The last time the Scooter Store revealed its revenues to me, they were in the range of 350 million to 400 million annually. And Medicare in 2011, which are the most recent figures we have, paid $680 million to suppliers of scooters and power wheelchairs.
BLOCK: Has the Scooter Store admitted wrongdoing in the past when they settled that lawsuit with the Justice department?
DANNER: No, and in fact they've been pretty defiant about having done any wrongdoing. They say that they do everything by the book.
BLOCK: Has there been any response from executives at the Scooter Store after this raid?
DANNER: Actually, no. I spoke to their general counsel and he had indicated to me that they would issue a statement to me and that they would make themselves available today for an interview, but I never received the statement and I have not spoken with them yet today.
BLOCK: OK, Patrick Danner, business writer with the San Antonio Express News. Patrick, thanks so much.
DANNER: Thank you, Melissa. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Strong enough for a man, ph-balanced for your CPU!
With the need to counter the impending doom of Sadaam's high-tech chain of
PS2 war machines, the GR scientists have spent the better part of a year trying
to harness the awesome power of the Now
& Later! More durable than steel, harder than a diamond, faster than a locomotive
and able to destroy a set of perfectly good teeth in mere minutes, this tasty
but potent childhood snack was thought to be our only hope. But our sole pothole
on the road to success and victory was finding that Now & Laters don't play
video games very well (must be some incompatibility with OpenGL).
"Blast it! Back to the drawing boards!" thought the GR men of science. It was
as if we were ex-funnyman Steve
Martin and our "hope" was "comedy" – all we could do was watch it float
way, never to be seen again.
But just when it seemed that all was lost, a savior in a blue box bearing a
familiar name arrived on our doorstep. It was the Gladiac 920, Elsa's
new video board with Nvidia's brand new Geforce 3 chipset at the helm. Their
impressive (yet somewhat pricey) Gladiac GeForce
2 proved to be an invaluable ally in the past.

Boardmaker Launches Complete Online Learning System for Special Education
PITTSBURGH (Aug. 6, 2014) – DynaVox Systems, LLC (DynaVox), creators of Boardmaker, the leading symbol-adapted special education software for assisting individuals with overcoming their speech, language and learning challenges, introduces Boardmaker Online. Designed for special needs educators, speech-language pathologists (SLPs), assistive technology specialists and parents, Boardmaker Online is a new, comprehensive solution for creating and managing special education instruction.
For more than 20 years, educators and therapists have used Boardmaker software to create high-quality, symbol-based learning materials to help students with special needs succeed. Building on the success of Boardmaker, the new online tool manages and delivers student instruction in one, easy-to-access system. Boardmaker Online enables users to quickly find, create, organize and deliver materials, making time spent with each student more efficient and productive. The personalized learning system also provides integrated data tracking and allows educators to measure their students' progress toward academic, language, social and behavioral goals.
"Boardmaker Online reduces the number of apps and therapy materials special education professionals must collect and implement in order to work with students with diverse learning needs," said Bob Cunningham, chief strategy and clinical officer at DynaVox. "We designed a system that makes it easy for teachers and special education professionals to individualize and assign educational activities, track progress and assess student outcomes, while maintaining the quality and reliability of Boardmaker."
The comprehensive learning system not only tracks and measures results, but also delivers standards-aligned instruction that can easily be tailored for each student. With Boardmaker Online, special education professionals can easily alter text, visuals, learning prompts and accessibility according to an individual's needs. The system allows users to take advantage of their existing copy of the highly-acclaimed Boardmaker software, and starting this fall they will also be able to create symbol-adapted schedules, calendars, books and educational activities online without having to install software or carry their Boardmaker disk with them.
"As a speech-language pathologist, I am so excited about this new program," said Terri Porter. "I appreciate the ability to compile all of my students and their goals in one place, and the visual schedules will be extremely helpful to my students with autism spectrum disorder, who need to check off each activity as they go."
From parents to therapists to large school districts, Boardmaker Online meets the needs of a diverse range of users by offering Personal, Professional and District subscriptions. A range of Professional Development options are available, from weekly free, live webinars to comprehensive in-person staff training and "train the trainer" style sessions. This versatile system can be used in a variety of learning environments and can easily transition between the classroom and home. Students and instructors can access content from a web browser on both Macs and PCs, and this fall, a free Student Center app will allow access from an iPad.

The tone of the forum is one of rememberance. Surely there are people left who remember the months of fun I had messing with my favorite Carby scrubs.
YES, dear forum readers, quite a few of us live on ... though most who've left Vana'diel were destined not to return.
I apologize for missing my yearly update of the Crafting thread. As there were only five posts there between '07 and '08, I guess it wasn't a big deal. ^^
So what the heck happened to Wingy?
After leaving Vana'diel in 2006, I changed jobs twice and moved both times. I used to be a Maryland gamer, but spent some time down in sunny Tampa, FL, and have since landed in Charlotte, NC.
I played a variety of games in the interim, including getting re-acquainted with EVE Online. While I was in Tampa, though, some well-meaning fool convinced me that his guild in WoW was the one guild on the planet that actually needed a Rogue. We had a core of players that all worked in the same shop. I figured what the hell, it's more fun talking game stuff during the day than work stuff, so I joined up.
I liked it. Turns out that punishing Allies for existing is very much in line with my personal philosophy.
Ooh, wingy in a guild. Uh oh.
mmhm. Players that remember me know what happens when I'm guilded. I made Officer, then took over.
The group I joined was social, but within a month or so I had them starting the baby 10-man raids. I ramped them up for 25-man content, kept them focused, kept them motivated.. but the energy started to play out as they got into Gruul and Magtheridon (baby 25-man stuff). The original officers were giving the speech every LS lead has heard a billion times, about how the guild "just doesn't feel the same" and how "the game isn't fun anymore" and blah blah whine whine whine. Seriously, what a bunch of wimps. I spent a lot of time laughing to myself while trying to figure out why these people couldn't handle simple 25-mans when I'd spent years running Dynamis with 63 other players. These guys would die in Final Fantasy.
I bailed, changed guilds, and wound up in the #4 Horde guild on my server. I made officer (uh oh) and took over as Rogue class lead. We ran through Tier-5 25-man content (TK, SSC), blitzed into Tier-6 (Mt. Hyjal, Black Temple), and were cruising along fine.. until we hit a boss that actually required intelligence on the part of every raid member. Damn it.
The guild stalled, suffered defections, officers /gquit, you name it. Take away easy mode and people freak right the hell out. I wound up bailing from there and changing servers in the hopes of greener pastures. Following recent patches that completely nerfed existing content, I hear my old guild finally beat the boss that they were stuck on. I'd have felt congratulatory if everybody's damage wasn't around 2x what it used to be. blah. Kids these days. :)
So now I'm stalking around a new server, guildless, waiting for the new expansion to be released tomorrow. Part of the problem with me and guilds is that I'm very picky about what leadership I accept. It comes from having run one of the most entertaining and successful 'social' guilds on Carby. I miss Kalm and all it's people - it's been impossible for me to enjoy another guild since.
The sick part is, as much as I've resisted it, I feel like I'm being drawn back into a place where I need to lead to be happy. Ah well. There are worse fates than being a benevolent tyrant for a living.
Does wingy miss his carby peoples?
Of course. It's a shame none of us found a better way to stay in touch. (I'd hoped for Kalm to be a cross-game social group, and to an extent we managed it, but the 100-person Carby set, while sustainable, wasn't enough to expand and conquer other games. People fractured out and got re-absorbed by other gaming units.
So it goes.
So, to sum up
- Bacon is good
- Pergo has a special room in hell
- and omg hi 2 u :)

HAVANA (AP) — Fidel Castro says foes of Havana have tried to manipulate the case of Cuban armaments seized at the Panama Canal on a boat bound for North Korea.
The retired leader writes in a July 26 letter that allegations Cuba was trying to defy U.N. sanctions against the Asian nation amount to "slander against our revolution."
The letter was addressed to foreign leaders who attended Friday's celebration marking the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the Cuban Revolution. It was published Sunday by state media.
The letter also reaffirms Cuba's stated opposition to nuclear weapons.
The Panamanian government on July 16 announced the discovery of missiles and other military equipment on the North Korean-flagged vessel, underneath a shipment of sugar.
Cuba said they were aging defensive weapons systems being sent to North Korea for repairs.

Spider-Man: Special Edition (US - DVD R1)
Columbia Tristar's Special Edition of Spider-Man has a good number of hidden features scattered over its two discs. Here&rsq...
If you find the DVD menus a little tricky to navigate, on the Main Menu simply press the up button on your remote control, then press enter. This will present you with a new menu featuring a comprehensive list of everything on the disc. Much easier I'm sure you'll agree. You can also access this quick menu by highlighting the spider symbol inside the Main Menu button on each screen.
From the Main Menu, go to the Special Features section. Once there select Character Files and then select one of the principal cast members. On the second page of each biography press up on your remote to highlight the actor's name. Press enter on your remote and you'll be treated to the biography of the character played by that actor. It's also worth pointing out that the illustrations on these pages are taken from scenes from the movie. The above work for all actors save Cliff Robertson (Uncle Ben).
If you head to the Commentaries section of the disc and highlight the Special Features menu entry at the bottom of the screen, then press left on your remote, a spider symbol will appear. Press enter and you will be treated to around two and a half minutes of 'CGI Bloopers'.
Disc Two
From the Main Menu head to Web of Spider-Man menu and from there select the DVD-ROM menu entry. Next, press up on your remote to highlight Spider-Man's mask. Press enter and you will be treated to 'A New Twist on the Webs,' which features Todd McFarlane discussing his approach to drawing Spiderman's webbing.
From the Web of Spider-Man menu select the Evolution of Spider-Man option, then the Artists Gallery menu entry. Press right on your remote and a new entry, The Romitas, will appear at the top of the screen. Press enter to watch a three and a half minute featurette on comic book artists John Romita and his son John Romita Jr.
Now enter the Artist Gallery section (also known as Peter Parker's darkroom) and head to the Comic Book Artist Gallery entry. While browsing the gallery look for the artwork drawn by Terry Dodson, then highlight the camera that is used for navigating and press up. You'll see Terry Dodson's signature on the drawing. Press enter and you'll be taken to another gallery that contains famous scenes from Spider-Man comics drawn in the style of the movie.
Head to the Web of Spider-Man menu again, then enter The Evolution of Spider-Man menu. Now click on the Rogue's Gallery menu entry and once there, press up on your remote to highlight Spider-Man's head (his 'Spider Sense' should tingle). Press enter to see information on 'The Sinister Six', complete with 3D renderings.
Keeping with the Rogue's Gallery, additional 3D renderings of Electro, Venom and Scorpion are available. To view these, highlight the Spider-Man icon at the bottom of each screen and then press down on your remote to highlight a Spider-Man silhouette. Press enter and you'll be treated to full-screen 3D renderings of the characters.
