TCM's 7-hour documentary, Moguls and Movie Stars, which began running today, is a sincere, engrossing and generally very well executed history of Hollywood, focused largely on the business side—the moguls and the studios—rather than the movie stars and directors. It is rich in facts and details about the beginnings of the movies, going from the primitive early work of the Lumiere brothers and Edison, and running with equal interest all the way through the rise and fall of the studio system. Christopher Plummer narrates with warm authority, and the whole endeavor is certainly worth the effort to see all seven hours. Of course, another seven hours—or twice that— could valuably be spent documenting the artistic history of Hollywood, and perhaps TCM has such plans up its sleeve. One way or the other, what they do over at Turner Classic Movies is essential to the health of moving picture history, virtually the lone TV voice in the wilderness of film culture in our country, which has contributed so enormously, so memorably to this precious medium. (Complete disclosure: I am one of the vast number of people interviewed for this epic documentary.)

2011 Record (ACC): 4-8 (3-5)
Returning Starters (Off/Def/ST): 19 (10/8/1)
Experience will be on this Eagle's side this season, returning 19 starters from their 2011 campaign. Linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis has terrific size and range, and should help fill some of the void left by top-10 draft pick Luke Kuechly's departure. The return of Kaleb Ramsey, who was among the top-five on the team in tackles, tackles for loss and sacks in 2010, should provide a significant boost to the defensive front alongside fellow tackle Dillon Quinn. Senior safety Jim Noel will lead a young group of sophomores in the secondary who have the chance to develop into an incredibly deep and talented group. New offensive coordinator Doug Martin will have an experienced quarterback in junior Chase Rettig, along with a receiving corps that returns all four of their top pass catchers from last season. Emmett Cleary anchors a young offensive line that should blossom along with the three-headed run game of Rolandan Finsh, Tahj Kimble and Andre Williams. After missing out on a bowl berth play for the first time in 12 years last year, the pieces are in place for the Eagles to get back to postseason play.
A tough schedule lies ahead for BC as the Eagles will play nine bowl-eligible teams from 2011. They'll need to take care of business in home matchups against Miami, Clemson and Virginia Tech if they have hopes of making their second Orange Bowl and first visit since 1943. Like most teams in the ACC Atlantic, the Eagles' road to South Beach will run right through Tallahassee and the Florida State Seminoles.
2011 Record (ACC): 3-9 (1-7)
Returning Starters (Off/Def/ST): 13 (7/6/0)
The Blue Devils find themselves on the cusp of a break-out season in 2012. The combo of quarterback Sean Renfree and receiver Conner Vernon are as potent as any in the ACC and head coach David Cutcliffe knows how to build an offense around an established quarterback. Duke also returns an offensive line that has a combined 90 career starts. If former four-star recruit Desmond Scott and incoming freshman Shaquille Powell can revitalize the ground game, Duke's offense could be very potent. On the other side of the ball, defensive coordinator Jim Knowles has an experienced secondary and linebacking corps to build around. The defense will be bolstered with healthy versions of Kenny Anunike and Kelby Brown, who expect to play at high levels following injury-ridden 2011 campaigns. If the right pieces fall into place, Duke will finally be able to end their 18 year bowl drought.
Duke's path to their first Orange Bowl in over 50 years sports a slew of bowl-eligible teams. The Blue Devils will head to Stanford September 8th for a tough non-conference matchup against the Cardinal and will travel to conference rivals Virginia Tech and Florida State in October. Duke must win one of these games and take care of business against UNC and Clemson at home if they have hopes of taking their talents to South Beach.

Phone call released made by man accused of killing stepson to his brother
Phone call released made by man accused of killing stepson to his brother
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
A new jailhouse phone call has been released made by Josh Gouker, the man charged in connection with his stepson's death.
On the tape, he said he's talking to his brother about the charges he and his son are facing.
"How can they charge both of you guys? Isn't it one or the other?" Gouker's brother is heard asking in the phone call.
"That's what I'm saying. I don't know. I didn't even know until I seen the (expletive) on TV," Gouker said.
Gouker is accused of killing his stepson, Trey Zwicker.
Gouker's son, Josh Young, is accused of the killing as well.
Earlier this summer, Gouker admitted in court that he killed Zwicker, but a judge would not accept that as an official plea.
The trial has been tentatively set for April 15.

Interim rates to affect SourceGas customers
Interim rate for residential customer charge rises 48%.
Beginning Oct. 1, SourceGas is charging higher rates for natural gas service in Nebraska.
The company has applied to the Nebraska Public Service Commission for a rate increase.
State law permits "interim rates" to be charged to customers while the commission evaluates a rate proposal. Depending on the outcome of the case, interim rates may be credited back to customers.
The commission will hold a hearing on SourceGas' proposal beginning Dec. 14 at the Commission's offices in Lincoln. The purpose of the hearing is for the company, public advocate and other parties to present evidence to the commission regarding the rate proposal.
SourceGas is seeking to increase its customer charge and distribution charges, the rates regulated by the commission.
Currently, the monthly customer charge for residential service is $10.44. Under the proposal, it would increase 48% to $15.44.
Small commercial customers presently pay a monthly customer charge of $12.44, which would become $17.55, a 41% increase. For large commercial customers, the current rate of $22.33 would rise to nearly five-fold to $110.44.
Distribution charges are based upon the number of therms used by a customer in the billing cycle. Rates for the "first tier" of consumption, which is 20 therms for residential customers, would increase from $0.35 to $0.50 per therm.
For commercial customers, first tier rates apply as follows: small commercial—first 40 therms; large commercial—first 80 therms. Rates for the second tier of consumption would remain the same.
Customers will notice that bills are prorated. Because the rate change takes effect at the first of the month, customers may have some usage that occurred prior to the rate change, billed at prior rates.
"The commission has insisted natural gas companies prorate bills in fairness to customers," commissioner Jerry Vap of McCook said. "Though multiple lines of charges may seem complex, customers get the benefit of lower rates as long as possible."
Customers are represented by the public advocate, an attorney with experience in natural gas matters.
Lincoln lawyer Roger Cox was first appointed to the office in 2003, and has advocated on behalf of customers in all rate cases in front of the commission.
"Our decision must be based upon evidence and the law," commissioner Rod Johnson of Sutton explained. "It's our job to ensure that any rate charged to customers is fair and reasonable."
The commission expects to hold local town hall meetings in several communities in SourceGas' service area, including Holdrege, McCook, Scottsbluff and Wood River. Dates and any additional locations will be announced soon.

By DAVID GREEN
Tagging monarch butterflies began more than 70 years ago, said Pat Hayes of the Kelley's Island Audubon Club, but it wasn't until the 1970s that researchers began to solve the mystery.
Eventually it became known that the monarch is the champion of the insect world when it comes to winter migration. The popular orange and black butterfly can travel more than 2,000 miles on its way to fir forests northwest of Mexico City.
Tagging efforts have ebbed and flowed over the decades, Hayes said, and it's currently at a strong point. Across southern Canada and throughout the United States, monarchs are caught, tagged and released with the hope that reports will be filed about their progress to Mexico.
"Prior to 1975, we had no idea where they went," Hayes told an audience Sunday afternoon.
Hayes led a tagging project at land owned by Ed and Carol Nofziger northwest of Pettisville.
Tagging studies help researchers continue to learn about the paths taken to Mexico, the time needed to make the trip, mortality factors, population estimates, etc.
In Mexico, monarchs by the millions cluster for warmth as they pass the winter in the Sierra Madre mountains. When the temperature warms in the spring, the butterflies mate and fly back to the north.
Scientists also migrate south in search of tagged monarchs, but now much of the work is done by Mexican residents who learned they could make money helping out.
"Peasants go looking for the monarchs and sell them for $5 each, beating out the scientists," Hayes said.
The going rate is now $25 in some areas.
Many residents of the area continue to engage in logging of the oyamel fir tree and acreage is shrinking dramatically.
Protected forests are watched over by armed guards, Hayes said, but they often look away when a family member comes calling with a chain saw.
It's more than diminishing winter territory that's threatening monarch populations.
According to organization Monarch Watch, habitat for milkweeds—the only plant used by the monarch to lay eggs—and for nectar-producing plants to nourish butterflies is disappearing at a rate of about 6,000 acres a day.
The use of genetically-modified corn and soybeans is greatly reducing milkweed populations through repeated application of glysphosate herbicides.
Frequent mowing of roadsides, along with herbicide use, also reduces the presence of milkweed.
Monarch Watch encourages "waystations" to support the butterfly population.
"They need milkweed to survive," said Hayes, a 28-year veteran of tagging efforts. "What we'd like to see is a ribbon of fields along the way to Mexico."
Monarchs also suffer from natural predation—attacks by birds—but birds soon learn their mistake. A poison from milkweed is taken into the developing monarch's body when it's in the chrysalis stage and causes the hungry bird to gag. Monarch eggs are often attacked by a parasite that causes the chrysalis to die.
Populations tend to vary from year to year due to weather conditions and 2008 is a year of decline. Hayes collected 500 monarchs a year ago from a large shrub in his yard. This year he counted only 25. The decline has been observed in many locations around the country, he said.
If the reason is due to weather, the monarch will recover in another year. If other factors are at work, then the future of the species could be threatened.
Whatever the reason, Hayes and other like-minded friends of the monarch will do their best to ensure the butterfly has a future.

The London Mathematical Society will hold soon an Education Day. To my taste, its agenda (see below) is overloaded, this is why I seek my blog readers' opinion on any points that they may find interesting.
Session One: The Transition from School To University
A commonly heard complaint is that students in the UK who have done A level maths are insufficiently prepared for entrance to university mathematics degree courses. The abolition of QCDA and the recent Government White paper give HE an opportunity to become more involved in both the design and assessment of A level as well as in the creation of resources such as text books, project packs and internet resource. HE can also be involved in aiding the transition of students to university by working more closely with schools to provide both enrichment and the opportunities to challenge sixth form students (and their teachers).
The break out sessions will be asked to consider the following questions
- What do we expect our students to know when they arrive to do an HE Mathematics course.
- What commonality and differences are there across the sector and how is this reflected in admission requirements?
- How well is A level preparing students for university and what might we wish to see in a revised A level course.
- How might HE be more involved in challenging and enriching A level mathematics students to prepare them for entry to university
Session Two: Training of lecturers
This session will address the two questions of what is the ideal content HE maths degree and how we should be teaching it. The newly formed HE-STEM network and the More Maths Grads (MMG) project have both addressed the questions of the content and teaching of maths in HE. (The earlier Benchmark Statement also looked at this issue) and have raised the difficult issue of whether there a need for a common syllabus across the HE sector and how should this relate to the teaching of maths at schools and the consequent preparedness of our students? The meeting will have the opportunity to compare and contrast the different approached. The second question relates directly to the thorny question of lecturer training. There is significant disquiet in the mathematics community both about the dominance and perceived irrelevance of generic training rather than subject specific training of maths lecturers, and also of the ending of the funding of the MSOR subject centre and the new lecturers induction course run by this centre.
The break out sessions will be asked to consider the following questions
- How does the content of an HE Maths course vary across the sector
- What are the pros and cons of a common syllabus
- What is the current provision for lecturer training across the sector?
- What is ideally required to train new lecturers and how this should be implemented?

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A key figure in the New Jersey bridge scandal that has led to investigations into Gov. Chris Christie's administration will attend the State of the Union speech.
Congressman Bill Pascrell has invited Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich (SAHK'-oh-lich) to the House chamber for Tuesday's address.
Pascrell says he's not trying to send a message about the bridge scandal.
The Democrat tells The Record (http://bit.ly/1k0uvPk ) newspaper that he invited someone from Passaic County last year and wanted to ask someone from Bergen County this year. Pascrell says the mayor has exhibited a "standup attitude" on the bridge issue.
Officials are examining whether key Christie appointees ordered traffic lanes in Fort Lee leading to the George Washington Bridge closed because the mayor wouldn't endorse the Republican governor's re-election campaign.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
If this year's Thanksgiving recipes are seeming a little outdated and bland, or if dinnertime around the house could use some sprucing up, Beaumont has an event to help with that.
As cooler temperatures and falling leaves take over the balmy South, so does the spirit of Halloween. Decoration and costume shops are reanimating dead strip centers. Homes and offices are sporting cobwebs and ghosts — both fixtures normally frowned upon in most places, but openly encouraged as the holiday nears.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Well, this was rather unexpected. As it turns out, Commodore USA's CEO Barry Altman isn't particularly pleased about the article I wrote earlier today in which I placed a considerable amount of scepticism with regards to Commodore USA and its business (and website). He (not his lawyer) sent us a threatening email demanding we take down the article, post a new correction article, the whole shebang. The entire email - as an image, you'll want the original formatting - after the break. Our reply? We refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram.

RE[2]: Sad...

"Never buying from these guys.
They're probable never going to sell anything anyway. "
on the contrary, i think if they actually hire someone to make 'commodore USA' look and operate like a real company, people will indeed buy their products. nostalgia is a powerful selling point, after all.
of course their products are all OEM PCs designed and manufactured by chinese firms who work in volume and happily print up labels and boxes for their customers to give them the facade of having products of their own. rather like barry's furniture empire, now that i think about it.
hey, since barry likes being a CEO and having people do everything for him, maybe he could contract out web development and a call center to india to sell his white goods. he could even hire someone in bangalore to find nice pictures and form letters for him to copy. :-P

KIBBUTZ MAABAROT, Israel — The Arazis finally had enough when a Hezbollah rocket crashed within a few meters of their home last week.
The family of five loaded the car with a cooler full of food, a duffel bag stuffed with clothes and sheets, a guitar and their 11-year-old Dalmatian, Dali, and headed south to find safety.
"I'm not used to living like this," said Merav Arazi, 37, her voice trailing off as she took in her new surroundings after almost a week on the road. "We are used to a normal life. We work, we come home."
After leaving their house in Nesher, near Haifa in northern Israel, Arazi, her husband, David, and their three children drove all the way to a guesthouse in the southern Negev before settling into a donated apartment on Wednesday near a cluster of mango trees here at Kibbutz Maabarot in central Israel.
Israeli officials have estimated the number of displaced northern Israelis at 300,000 since the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah began more than two weeks ago. Rockets have been falling over Israel's northern towns and cities, sometimes more than 100 a day, many hitting places that had never before been within Hezbollah's range. It has created a new kind of war for this generation of Israelis - one in which their homes are on the front line.Continue reading the main story
On the Lebanese side of the border, about 700,000 people, about a fifth of Lebanon's population, have been displaced because of the fighting, the United Nations said.
Scattered across the center and southern reaches of Israel, some displaced northerners are camping out on the beaches of the Red Sea resort city of Elat after being turned away by overbooked hotels.
Others share sofa beds and mattresses on the floor in the homes of friends and family members away from the border. Relatives of students at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have been offered dorm rooms on campus, and sleep-away camps have been set up for children whose parents remain in bomb shelters up north.
The wave of refugees has inspired a nationwide outpouring of assistance. Organizations advertise in newspapers seeking to match potential hosts with those needing a place to stay.
As the conflict zone shifted, immigrants from one northern town were given rooms at yeshivas in the West Bank, and others have transplanted themselves to a hastily constructed tent city for about 6,000 along Israel's southern coast, 20 kilometers, or 13 miles, from the Gaza Strip.
The camp was built by Arkady Gaydamak, a Russian-Israeli billionaire who has been accused of illegal arms deals with Angola and who has been trying to improve his image in Israel through philanthropy. The tent city is costing about $500,000 a day to run, Israel Television reported.
About 1.5 million people live in the northern zone most heavily hit by rockets, a 40-kilometer-long area between the border with Lebanon and the area just south of Haifa. The main region there, Galilee, has about a million residents, mainly Israeli Arabs who have tended not to leave their homes despite a lack of bomb shelters where they live.
They often live among extended families in the same towns and villages, and most do not have relatives to stay with in the center or south of the country.
Kibbutz Maabarot, which is surrounded by cotton and avocado fields near Netanya, a city in central Israel, is one of the many kibbutzim that have taken in those from the north.
After the fighting began, kibbutz members began taking in relatives and friends. Within a few days the kibbutz started posting notices asking members to offer spare rooms or apartments to those in need. Now its communal dining hall and swimming pool brim with new faces from the north.
Ziva Miller, 52, an administrator at the kibbutz, spends most of her time fielding phone calls from people from the north looking for lodging. She keeps a long handwritten list by her desk with their information. But the kibbutz is running out of space; it is down to a handful of empty apartments with nothing but mattresses on the floor.
"People are so desperate they will take even that, anything to get out of the north," she said.
Miller said she was haunted by the thought of those she could not accommodate, like the young man who had walked into her office with his pregnant wife. They had driven around to all the neighboring kibbutzim and other agricultural villages, but found nowhere to stay.
In Jerusalem, Iris Dahan, a 44-year- old teacher, and her two daughters, ages 10 and 8, have spent the past two weeks with friends after leaving the northern village of Kafr Vradim. Her husband has to keep working in the north, and he joins them on weekends. It is a crowded but friendly setting in their friends' home, but she said she felt she could no longer impose, and planned to stay with another set of friends.
She would like to go home, but the few people who remain in her village tell her it is not yet safe to return.
"Our daughters had a hard time hearing the booming noises and now they have only grown closer," Dahan said of the rocket fire. "Our friends are spread throughout the country, and we are hearing that if you have a place to stay, you should stay put."Continue reading the main story

I am new to Lucid Dreaming, I have only been working on dream recall for about two weeks. Things are going slower than I thought, I only have 9 dreams recorded out of 14 days. I was wondering if this was actually a good start or if I should do anything to boost dream recall with supplements. Also, how many dreams should you have recorded before you should start any techniques for Lucid Dreaming?
There is no magic number of dreams to record before you can start LDing. Once you feel you're having vivid dreams several times per week, that would be a solid starting point. But I'm not going to dictate what's right for you. Keep a dream journal going all through your LD practice, and it will keep improving.
On improving dream recall, I answered this question just a moment ago so I'll point you to my answer later in this thread: http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=500&start=90#p6212

Let's hope Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman knows what she's talking about. Speaking at a press conference at the end of a trip to China, Veneman said Chinese officials gave "broad assurances" they will comply with World Trade Organization rules.
Chinese compliance has become a glaring issue since it joined the WTO last December. In June, U.S. Trade Representative Robert B. Zoellick complained China was not honoring its promises to raise import quotas on corn and wheat and was continuing to provide export subsidies to its producers.
It was the first official warning that the administration was unhappy with China's progress on wheat and corn tariff rate quotas and on China's new rules on GMO soybean imports and export subsidies for cotton.
Veneman said she broached those subjects during three days of meetings that ended July 30 with officials from China's Ministries of Agriculture, Trade and Science and Technology and with the State Planning Commission and AQSIQ, the quarantine and inspection agency.
If that sounds like a lot of agencies, it's part of the overall problem in dealing with China. Veneman said USDA officials had counted six ministries that have an interest in GMO soybeans alone.
"It's a challenge to try to find where some of these issues are being decided," she said, adding that identifying who can make a decision was a major accomplishment of the mission. "We have received assurances from those that the biotech regulations will not be implemented in a way that will impede our trade in soybeans, and trade will not be disrupted.
"We also received assurances that China will fully implement the tariff rate quotas in accordance with the WTO agreement. Certainly that's something that was of concern to us, but we have received those assurances."
Veneman is no stranger to China having made three previous trips while serving as associate administrator of USDA's Foreign Agriculture Service and deputy undersecretary of agriculture for international affairs and commodity programs in the late 1980s.
Her previous exposure to the Chinese labyrinth of ministries and state agencies may be why she insisted the two countries set up a working group to help resolve the issues related to biotechnology regulation. Joseph Jen, USDA'S undersecretary for research, education and economics, will lead the U.S. side in a review of the science issues involved in biotechnology and other trade disputes.
Veneman said U.S. and Chinese officials did not resolve the matter of China exporting cotton for below the world price and for less than what it is selling in China. "As you know, China agreed not to use export subsidies for cotton and corn, and we need to make sure that, as WTO commitments are implemented, that is in fact the case," she said.
In her comments, Veneman seemed to be approaching the 900-pound gorilla that is the Chinese market gingerly but with no signs of backing down from a confrontation. "We think it is important to work together, but we also believe it's extremely important to emphasize how critical it is that the Chinese understand how to play by the rules, and we need to help them do that."

The Pacific men's basketball team made sure its shooting woes were left behind in Honolulu.
The Pacific men's basketball team made sure its shooting woes were left behind in Honolulu.
The Tigers came out scorching hot on Saturday night at Cal State Northridge, just two nights after abysmal shooting led to a defeat at Hawaii. Pacific shot 61.5-percent in the first half en route to a 74-62 Big West Conference victory over Cal State Northridge at the Matadome.
The Tigers (10-8, 4-2) made 7 of 16 from beyond the arc against the Matadors (9-10, 0-7) after going 3 for 27 at Hawaii. Pacific also committed just nine turnovers.
"I thought we played 17 minutes of fantastic basketball in the first half, about as good as we've played on the road," Pacific coach Bob Thomason said. "The second half was a grind, but it got us a needed road win. "
Thomason saw a lot of positives against a desperate Cal State Northridge team that was considered one of the favorites coming into conference play. The coach said the Tigers matched Cal State Northridge's physicality and did a nice job on defense, including forcing 17 turnovers. Pacific limited Cal State Northridge's leading scorer Stephan Hicks to 11 points, over seven under his season average.
Ross Rivera led Pacific with 16 points in 18 minutes off the bench, while seniors Travis Fulton (12 points) and Lorenzo McCloud (10) also reached double-figures.
"We had an off game in Hawaii and we wanted to prove we were better then that," Rivera said. "Northridge wasn't as big as Hawaii, so they weren't able to disrupt our offense as much. The second half became a street fight, but we kept them at bay."
Pacific will now have three consecutive games at Spanos Center, beginning with a visit from UC Riverside (5-13, 2-4) at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Tom Orry, Editor - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, 3DS
The 3DS finally has a game worth getting excited about, although you may well have played it before - potentially numerous times. Ocarina of Time certainly feels like it has aged slightly, but it also manages to belie its original 1998 release date with gameplay mechanics that are still used today. It's also a great fit for the 3DS, looking wonderful in 3D and letting you pause anywhere by closing the lid. I'm not sure if a new generation of gamers will love it quite as much as everyone did back in the day, but the fact that Nintendo's title as held up so well is testament to just how much of an achievement the N64 original was. Oh, and once you hear the classic music, memories will likely come rushing back.
Neon Kelly, Deputy Editor - Duke Nukem Forever, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
I finally got around to playing Duke Nukem Forever on Thursday, and lord almighty do I wish I hadn't. Now, it's been a fair while since I've extensively dabbled with Duke 3D, but I certainly don't remember a 30-minute gap between starting the game and actually getting into the action. Here's the difference:
1996: "Those alien b*stards are going to pay for shooting up my ride!" Followed by awesome violence in the street and a nearby porn cinema.
2011: "Those alien b*stards are going to pay for shooting up my ride!" Followed by a trip to the toilet, a brief boss battle... and then half an hour's worth of farting about in Duke's house, in a TV studio, and a load of air vents, with lengthy loading screens scattered throughout.
Seriously, it's ridiculous. Duke Nukem Forever has no shortage of problems, but the fact that the developers began a parodic FPS game with a massive chunk of dull exposition... well, it shows that they simply didn't have a clue. And don't get me started about how dire things get once the game starts for real.
Martin Gaston, Previews Editor - Pursuit Force, PSP
"Welcome Back", says Sony. "Sorry we lost all your personal information and made it so you couldn't play Portal 2 in co-op for, like, an entire month. Here's a free copy of Pursuit Force!" If only all things in life worked like this; when the banks lost loads of money in 2008 I would have least been given a couple of free yacht rides and a haircut.
Pursuit Force has a novel concept but sadly controls like a dog. You're driving nippy sports cars that steer like monster trucks, but it's validated by the fact you can jump from car to car as you rid the city of automobile-related crime. The concept alone redeems it for a few hours, but after a while things like the wonky handling start to crop up and knock away some of the lustre. Still, it's a nice little bit of fun and works well as a handheld game. Plus it was free - and all I had to do was have my personal details compromised!
Emily Gera, Staff Writer - Dungeon Siege III, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
I'm edging my way over the half-way point of Dungeon Siege III at the moment. You can expect a review of the thing next week, but here's a teaser: If you've been clamouring for a fantasy world that is fuelled largely by cleavage but can't be bothered with Dragon Age II, then Dungeon Siege III is the logical alternative. Even the ghosts in this make the DA II cast look like pre-pubescent Russian gymnasts. Your disarmingly flirtatious half-sister is also given the ol' Page 3 makeover, just in case you weren't already feeling slightly over-dressed. Video games!
Jamin Smith, Staff Writer - Shadows of the DamnedPS3, Xbox 360
I can't really talk about Shadows of the Damned just yet - the embargo doesn't lift until Tuesday - but I'll say this: it's properly mental. I suppose I can direct your attention towards this boss battle video, which shows demon hunter Garcia Hotspur going toe-to-toe with a giant bird-demon-thing. In order to down said beastie, you have shoot its swollen red testicles until one of the grim reaper sisters cuts its head off with a scythe. This is probably one of the more sedate moments in the game. More on Tuesday.

In an effort to increase this forum I'll post this here...it does have to do with law...
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/interne....ap/index.htmlBISMARCK, North Dakota (AP) -- To sell things over eBay, Mark Nichols may be required to take instruction in rapid-fire speaking, breathing control and reading hand gestures, even though the transactions are done by computer keyboard and mouse.
North Dakota's Public Service Commission is exploring whether people like Nichols, who runs a small consignment store in Crosby, must obtain auctioneer licenses before they can legally use eBay to sell merchandise for others.
Regulators in other states are also eyeing similar restrictions or preconditions, moves prompted by the growing popularity of online auctions.
To get a North Dakota auctioneer's license, applicants must pay a $35 fee, obtain a $5,000 surety bond and undergo training at one of eight approved auction schools, where the curriculum includes talking really fast.
"I don't think it offers any additional protection for the consumer," Nichols said. "It just creates a lot of red tape for the business, as well as having to put out a lot of money."
In Tennessee, trading assistants and stores that sell consignment goods on eBay must obtain an auction "gallery license," which costs $100 a year and requires the holder to undergo 30 hours of education and establish a bank escrow account.
California, Florida, Maine, Missouri and Texas have also considered extending auction rules to eBay sellers, say eBay officials.
North Dakota's PSC already licenses auctioneers and is asking the state's attorney general for a legal opinion about whether the definition of an auctioneer covers eBay sellers.
Commissioner Kevin Cramer said he does not believe the law applies to people who sell their own goods over eBay, but it could cover those who sell property consigned by others for a fee.
"Our laws probably didn't contemplate this type of commerce," Cramer said. "It's probably time to take a look at them."
Gordon Krance, president of the North Dakota Auctioneers Association, said the group has no position on whether people who are paid to sell others' goods on eBay should have an auctioneer's license. But he said sellers could benefit from attending auctioneering school.
"To me, it would be a plus to gain some knowledge of marketing, of the business end of an auction company, and ways to better represent your clients," he said.
Hani Durzy, an eBay spokesman, said the company believes state laws regulating auctioneers should not apply to eBay sellers.
Although eBay is often called an online auction service and uses many traditional auction terms, its sales are technically not auctions, Durzy said. For one thing, he said, eBay sales give buyers a fixed amount of time to bid for merchandise, while a traditional auction is held open as long as there are bidders.
Nichols runs a consignment store called Variety Marketplace and said he has occasionally sold goods on eBay for customers. He sold a 1938 Ford for one customer, Nichols said. Bidding started at $8,000 and closed at $14,500.
"Online auctions help create a marketplace," he said. "You can bring in money from outside the community, and that's important to small towns like Crosby."

Statement of Problem
Currently, many Eclipse Members have a business need to make sure software they consume from Eclipse meets certain Accessibility requirements. Besides just being a nice thing to do, it is often required to "prove" software is accessibility, in order to sell to certain markets or bid on certain contracts.
The "proof" often comes in the form of conducting certain tests and checks and completing a checklist, for long term documentation of what was done to ensure the software is accessible.
Currently, many Eclipse members have their own process and checklists for this accessibility work, but it would be simpler if there was one "Eclipse Accessibility Checklist" which would set the expectation for all Eclipse Projects ... at least all Eclipse Projects participating in the yearly, simultaneous release. And, of course, this "required item" for the yearly release can not be too burdensome for the Eclipse projects.
Our "required" item for Galileo simultaneous release was a 'should do' item, and stated as simply as "... should design and test for accessibility". So another way to state the problem, is whether or not there is a stronger requirement that would lead to a stronger, more demonstrable or measured statement about accessibility compliance.

Charles Arlinghaus: NH's heroic economy is no moreCHARLES ARLINGHAUS
June 24. 2014 10:49PM
When did New Hampshire stop being New Hampshire? The latest economic news shows that we are no longer leading any economic charges. Once the envy of our neighbors, we may be stuck as an economic backwater.
A terrific piece from Ben Leubsdorf (a former Granite Stater) in The Wall Street Journal this week speaks of the uneven recovery. The country as a whole has technically recovered: total jobs have come back to where they were prior to the recession. But recoveries are uneven with some winner states and many loser states.
New Hampshire is typically said to lead the region out of the recession. We mean that when jobs return, they return here first and we end up with a growing economy at the expense of more lackluster states. But that's the old reality.
Today, we are comfortably mediocre. Five years after the recession technically ended, jobs have finally reached their pre-recession level again. But in 17 winner states, jobs are actually much higher, while in 33 mediocre and stagnant states jobs are still down from their peak. New Hampshire is a loser.
States like Texas are scooping up jobs. Texas is up about 900,000 jobs higher than its pre-recession peak. It recovered strongly at the expense of states like Michigan (down 566,000), Ohio (down 155,000), and New Jersey (down 157,000). This represents a long-term transfer of people, energy and economic wealth from loser states to winner states.
This competitive dynamic used to be our friend. Post-recession expansions grew New Hampshire and confirmed our economic strength and power. Now we don't even outpace our mediocre neighbors. The power has shifted in our region. Massachusetts is up about 80,000 jobs from its pre-recession peak. The other five New England states are all still below their pre-recession peaks by a combined total of about 80,000 jobs.
What a weird and wacky world we live in when Massachusetts thrives at our expense.I think part of the problem is that New Hampshire has become complacent. It is part of the mythology of our state that we are competitive and that businesses will naturally want to come here. If we think that — and most policymakers do — real competition passes us by.
There are two paths to competitiveness. One is to try to buy friends: to use incentives and gimmicks to induce companies to locate here. This strategy is often pursued by the largest states. The theory is that special incentives will lead to so many jobs it is worth the cost and disparity.New Hampshire cannot and should not compete this way. First, we can't afford it. The largest state economies are 20 and 30 times our size. If we enter a bidding war, we'll lose. In addition, such special treatment violates a long-standing tradition of fair play. We treat all taxpayers the same regardless of whether the current government is particularly fond of them.
We have to acknowledge that we are a very tiny piece of the American economy. Companies must compete in giant markets like California and Texas. Even Massachusetts is the 12th-largest state economy. Tiny New Hampshire may be twice as large as Vermont (the nation's tiniest economy), but we are less than one-half of 1 percent of the country's economy. No one has to be here.
We are increasingly uncompetitive in multiple areas of tax policy (notably three categories of business taxation) with high health, labor and energy costs. No policy is half as important as admitting our failings and trying to again become the growth engine we were in the 1980s and 1990s.

Chinos have in recent times experienced something of a role change – from bland slacks favoured by American tourists to fashion item, worn high on the ankle as a foil for brave colours and occasional irony. In a recent twist, the quality of the garment itself is changing. I'm seeing a lot of high-end chinos out there, suggesting that £20 Uniqlo, utilitarian numbers are being replaced by the high thread count, near-sateen of the designer chino. As the summer sales commence and prices are slashed, there's every opportunity to find the perfect pair. Here are two of the best to measure your sales finds against.

Contact: Daniel Parry, NOAA Public Affairs
NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration and Office of Coast Survey, working with the U.S. Coast Guard and other federal and state agencies, are assisting with Gulf of Mexico recovery efforts by performing hydrographic surveys and risk assessments of underwater debris left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The mapping aspect of the project will aid in the risk assessment and prioritization of the removal of debris to restore safe navigation and re-establish commercial fishing in the regions.
The survey work will include sounding measurements to determine the depth of the debris, as well as the use of side scan sonar — a towed device capable of scanning over 600 feet of seafloor side to side — to provide imagery of the seafloor and marine debris. NOAA's Office of Coast Survey will utilize the survey data to update nautical charts in the region, providing mariners with more accurate and up-to-date navigational information.
"In addition to the surveys and mapping, the team will work with the public to facilitate the development of debris risk assessment criteria," said Holly Bamford, director, NOAA's Marine Debris Program. "This public information program is designed to ensure that all parties are aware of NOAA's activities and to ensure that we address the needs and concerns of the public."
After the 2005 hurricane season, the coastal zones of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, and the near shore environment, were littered with debris hazardous to safe navigation, commercial fishing, recreational boating, and other normal activities. Storm surge, retreating flood-waters, and wrecked and lost recreational and commercial vessels were major sources of the debris.
The Office of Response and Restoration is leading the public information program effort, which also includes the development of an integrated project Web site that includes GIS interface to serve as a conduit between survey data from the field and those with a stake in the results of the surveys. The site also will include a marine debris risk assessment job evaluation aid for use by parties tasked to remove submerged debris in the future. Collaboration with local stakeholders and state agencies will be essential as NOAA works to determine their data needs through a series of workshops and develops methods of disseminating these data in a useful and effective manner.
To assist in the coordination efforts, the NOAA Gulf of Mexico Marine Debris Project team recently opened a field coordination office in New Orleans' Hale Boggs Federal Complex to work with stakeholders in the region for at least one year.
The NOAA Marine Debris Program works with other NOAA offices, as well as other federal, state and local agencies, and private sector partners to support national, state, local, and international efforts to protect and conserve our nation's natural resources and coastal waterways from marine debris.
In 2007 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, celebrates 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

Lately I have been sitting at home freaking myself out pretty horribly. I'm 31 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy. My first was in 2003 and I was induced at 39 weeks due to my daughter being 10 lbs!! Unsurprisingly, I failed to progress and had a c-section. After having been in labor for 9 hours I couldn't care less what they did as long as it just ended. Unfortunately, about 5 days after she was born I had to go back into the hospital for what I thought was going to be bronchitis. Turned out, I had severe preeclampsia, pulmonary edema and pneumonia. I got to spend the first week of my baby's life in the ICU. After that I waited quite a while to have another baby. Last March, yes - March of 2011- I had my second child. After having had preeclampsia with my first my doc was vigilantly monitoring me for a re-occurance. The pregnancy was pretty meh, until all of a sudden at 37 weeks my blood pressure shot up and my office dipstick resulted in a +2 for protein. I had been tossing around the idea of a vbac, but once the preeclampsia hit it was obviously off the table. I had a c-section the next day. My doc decided that to be safe, I needed a mag drip after delivery. Unfortunately, the drip caused my uterus to be unable to contract and about 24 hours after surgery I had a post-partum hemorrhage. It was like the scene in the shining.. you know, the elevator doors parting and all the blood came pouring out.. Anyways! Sorry TMI, I know. I was given pitocin to stimulate contractions and spent a horrid few hours with a full medical team hovering over me debating whether to give me a blood transfusion of not. Thankfully, the pitocin worked and I immediately recovered.
So here I am.. 16 months later and 31 weeks along. And let me tell you.. I am NOT doing well at all. And I believe, as does my doc, that I am doing this to myself. Ever since finding out I was pregnant I have developed severe anxiety and the panic disorder I have been struggling with for the past 15 years has escalated to monumental proportions. Every time I so much as see my blood pressure cuff at my OB office I start to feel like I can't breathe and can't stop shaking. I stay up at night having night terrors the night before an appointment. I am so terrified that I will develop preeclampsia and have to have an emergency c-section every time I walk into the office. I'm just not ready. I am so afraid of having another c-section that I hyperventilate and cause my BP to shoot up. When I am at home, and relaxing in bed, I will check my BP and will often find it runs about 100/55. Then, I start to think about the c-section and the preeclamspia and my office appointments, and in about 2 MINUTED after having a low/perfect reading my BP will be in the 160's/80's. Then I go and sit in my closet in the dark and force myself to breath and calm down. Sure enough, it plummets right back down to my normal 100's/50-60's.
EVERY single time I go to my OB office my reading are so high my doctor fears that I am getting preeclamptic. She put me in the hospital last week and was stunned to see my automated pressure readings being so low when I'm left alone and have a chance to calm down. She says she feels that if I was given BP medicine, I would bottom out for sure. She says she has never seen someone with white coat hypertension as badly as mine. Lately, after being hospitalized, and having my due date drawing closer, I am doing so much worse at home. The periods where I am freaking out are getting worse, and my panic attacks have become debilitating. My husband has taken leave from work, and stays by my side 24/7. If he is not within visual contact with me I start panicking. I am TERRIFIED of being left alone. He even found me sleepwalking (something I have NEVER done before) to the bathroom with my blood pressure monitor screaming that I had to kill it. As it stands, I am certain that I am slowly building up my stress levels to threat level midnight.
I am just at such a loss as to what to do. Sometimes I feel like I would give anything to run away to some hotel somewhere and give birth in a bathtub. The thought of the hospital, and the epidural is more than I can take. Funny thing is, it's not the pain. I laugh in the face of pain! My pain tolerance is epic. But I absolutely. cannot. under. any.circumstances. handle. numbness. It's not the surgery, or the after effects I am worried about. It's the epidural and the buildup I know is coming when I lie there waiting for them to give it to me. With my daughter last year the anesthesiologist was worried I was having a heart attack when he was giving it too me. My heart rate jumped to the 200's and my oxygen levels dropped dangerously low. I have a known heart murmur that I need to pay close attention to, and the medical staff was unsure of what to do with me. With hidden reserves of strength I had no idea I had I managed to calm down long enough to go into surgery. And then as soon as my daughter was out I started panicking to high heaven and couldn't stop screaming at the surgical team. Last thing I remember, my anesthesiologist gave me a super strong sedative without asking me for my "own protection". I barely remember the rest of that day. And I honestly don't mind.
I suppose the moral of my story and my question is this: I truly feel that if I was given a choice, I would choose to do a vbac with a midwife, and in a birthing tub. With a doula with me to help keep me calm. I'd do it Au-natural as well. No epidural. Things done on my terms, with me in control. The thought of that calms me down and makes me feel strong. Like I could put my chin up and have some sort of control of my own body. I'm trying to reach out to this community, because every woman here can relate in some way to my situation. Maybe not the panic attacks of my level, but the fear of preeclampsia. We all know how truly terrifying it is. I feel like it's ruining my life right now. I wonder though, vbac after 2 c-sections aside, what are the chances of being able to accomplish something like this with the preeclampsia risk. I know if I told my doctor about this she'd laugh in my face. And trust me, she's a GREAT doctor. She takes all of this very seriously. I just don't think she can put herself in my shoes and see how much this c-section is killing me. She see's things from her physician perspective and not from a terrified patient's.
Does anyone know the chances of a successful vbac after preeclampsia twice? I just can't help but feel that the preeclampsia is creeping up on me quickly because of my fear. Am I insane for even considering exploring this option? As a reference point, my mother tried to vbac with my sister and had a full uterine rupture. She almost died and my sister still has heart problems. Poor thing was in the NICU for 2 months!! She was the biggest baby there. Even after experiencing this rare occurrence second-hand, I would still rather vbac. I just don't know what to do... I wish someone would sneak up behind me, douse me with ether and I'd wake up post-op. I just can't handle the fear and waiting. I believe in my heart that this time I won't be able to keep it together, and I will have a full blown panic attack right before.
Hopefully you ladies can relate, or give me some good advice. No one else in my life seems to get it. I am breaking down more and more every day and I just keep getting worse.
Probably unrealistic but... vbac? Anxiety is killing me.

A new study conducted in Finland may have just proved man's best friend is also baby's best friend. Published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics, the study suggests having pets—specifically cats or dogs—in the home may provide health benefits for children in the first year of life, reports ABC News.
The study followed 397 children from the time of their mothers' pregnancy until their first birthday. The children who had dogs at home experienced a multitude of health benefits including strengthened immune systems, as well as fewer respiratory problems and ear infections. The study also found that when these children got infections they often lasted for a shorter period of time and fewer antibiotics were needed. Children with cats received similar benefits, but to a smaller degree.
Plus: Prepping Your Pet for a New Baby
The researchers link their findings with the possibility that the exposure to dirt is the key factor in strengthening children's immune systems. The healthiest children spent somewhere between zero to six hours with the dog in the house, which researchers think may be the perfect balance for the amount of outdoor material the dog brings in the house and the exposure to the child.
While the researchers were careful to point out that pet ownership may not be the sole reason children were getting sick less, Katy Nelson, a Virginia-based veterinarian, pointed out to ABC News that past research has supported this idea as well. "One study found that children who grow up on farms and ranches have stronger immune systems later in life," she said.
Do you have a cat or dog at home? Did you know about some of the potential health benefits to your children of pet ownership?

Penske predictable? Nope! Bring on affordable luxury, U.S. brands
Roger Penske likes inexpensive luxury cars and U.S. brands.
That's interesting and a surprise.
Consider that Penske Automotive Group Inc.'s fourth-quarter brand mix was 70 percent premium luxury brands (think BMW), 26 percent volume foreign brands (think Nissan) and a mere 4 percent domestic brands (think Chevrolet).
But the CEO of one of the nation's largest dealership groups dropped two little bombs on analysts and reporters Wednesday during a conference call to discuss the company's fourth-quarter and 2012 financial results.
First, he is shopping for more U.S. brand dealerships to add to his portfolio. That's a big deal. It's a direct endorsement of the Detroit 3 from an influential industry leader.
An analyst also wondered what Penske thinks about premium luxury automakers offering vehicles starting around $30,000 -- that unofficial threshold the industry uses to separate affluent car shoppers from the masses.
The question was likely inspired by Mercedes-Benz's Super Bowl commercial for its newest and smallest car -- the coupe-styled CLA. The CLA will start at $29,900.
"We love it," Penske replied. "It gives us a broader product base to offer the customers. We're attracting new customers."
Other luxury vehicles close to that price point include the 2013 Audi A3 at $28,165 and the 2013 Acura ILX sedan at $26,795, to name a few examples. Those prices include destination fees, which have not been announced for the CLA.
"We see [the low starting price] as a positive," Penske added.
Then the unpredictable Penske shifted to the predictable, community-minded businessman he is, adding: "And the good news" is that the premium luxury automakers "are building plants in the U.S., where they can be competitive."
Brands with cachet at lower prices spurring more sales and creating U.S. jobs: It all makes sense.

IPCC honoured with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
Phone: +41-22-730-8208/84 e-mail:
Continued from previous page
Figure 16-6: Observed and modeled variation of annual averages
of Arctic sea-ice extent, based on Vinnikov et al. (1999). Observed
data are from Chapman and Walsh (1993) and Parkinson et al. (1999).
Sea-ice curves are produced by GFDL low-resolution R15 climate model and
by HADCM2 climate model, both forced by CO2 and aerosols.
An increase in temperature is likely to lead to shifts
in species assemblages. Organisms that are unable to tolerate the present low-temperature
regime will invade the Southern Ocean. Some that already are there will exhibit
increased rates of growth. Predicted reductions in the extent and thickness
of sea ice will have ramifications not only for the organisms directly associated
with sea ice but also for those that rely on oceanographic processes that are
driven by sea-ice production. In the open ocean, there is a correlation between
the standing crop and productivity of phytoplankton with wind speed (Dickson
et al., 1999). Diatomsthe dominant phytoplanktonic organisms in
the Southern Oceanhave high sinking rates and require a turbulent mixed
zone to remain in the photic zone. If climate change results in diminution of
wind forcing of surface mixing, a reduced biomass of diatoms can be expected.
This would lead to less available food for the higher trophic levels and diminution
in the vertical flux of carbon and silicon. Together, these effects are likely
to have a profound impact on Antarctic organisms at all trophic levels, from
algae to the great whales.
Any reduction in sea ice clearly represents a change in habitat for organisms
that are dependent on sea ice, such as Crabeater seals and Emperor penguins.
Some species of penguins and seals are dependent on krill production. Increased
ultraviolet irradiance from ozone depletion is likely to favor the growth of
organisms with UV-protecting pigments and/or repair mechanisms (Marchant, 1997;
Davidson, 1998). This will lead to a change in species composition and impact
trophodynamics and vertical carbon flux. Naganobu et al. (2000) show
evidence that ozone depletion impacts directly and indirectly on krill density.
The growth, survival, and hatching rates of penguin chicks and seal pups are
directly influenced by krill abundance in the sea. Animals that migrate great
distances, such as the great whales and seabirds, are subject to possible disruptions
in the timing and distribution of their food sources. Contraction of sea ice
may alter migration patterns but would not be expected to present a major problem
to such mobile animals. Other marine mammals (seals, sea lions) have life histories
that tie them to specific geographic features such as pupping beaches, ice fields,
or sub-Antarctic islands; they may be more severely affected by changes in the
availability of necessary habitats and prey species that result from climate
