[Update] Meet The Cast Of Hyrule Warriors
Update: Zant, Ghirahim, and the Great King of Evil himself are yours to command, with Impa and Lana arming themselves with new weapons.
Ever since traversing Hyrule in 3D for the first time in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, fans have been clamoring for more action-oriented Link. He made an appearance in Soul Calibur II, but now, in Wii U's Hyrule Warriors, he's bringing some friends (and enemies) with him onto the battlefield to take down hordes of Moblins, Lizalfos Knights and Dodongos.
We'll continue to update this as more characters are confirmed. For now, check out some of the fighters and their more powerful attacks.
The Hero of Time, Link is a master of both swords and staves. He can wield his trusty Master Sword, using his signature spin attack to take out surrounding enemies.
He also wields the classic fire rod, which offers more versatility than the master sword, acting as both a projectile weapon and a close-range flamethrower. In terms of garb, Link can ride into battle wearing his traditional green tunic (now adorned with a spiffy blue scarf) and the Twilight Princess version of the Zora's Tunic.
This article previously listed the gauntlets as the ball and chain weapon from Twilight Princess, but it turns out Link can use these puppies for much more than swinging a spiky wrecking ball around. Not only can he lift enemies off their feet and throw them, he can also zap enemies directly or slam the ground to shock multiple foes at once.
Once portrayed as a frail, elderly nanny in the original Legend of Zelda, Hyrule Warriors' Impa draws most heavily from the fierce guardian incarnation of Skyward Sword. Her movements are much more deliberate than Link's, throwing her weight into each swing of her giant blade.
If you prefer to play as the white-haired warrior but want a little more speed, you can select her naginata. Imbued with elemental effects, this weapon makes Impa much more acrobatic than when lugging around the sword.
The princess of Hyrule, Zelda brings both rapier and arrows of light into combat. Her movements are quick and swift, using the Triforce of wisdom and spells like Farore's Wind to finish off hordes of foes.
And as if a rapier and arrows made out of light itself weren't cool enough, Zelda can also orchestrate her foes' doom with the legendary Wind Waker baton. Chiming up classic tunes like the song of storms, Zelda conjures powerful gusts to send moblins and stalfos alike flying and stuns them with electrified musical stanzas.
The princess of Twilight, Midna returns to cause some mischief on the battlefield. She rides atop a twilit wolf, who delivers lighter attacks, while she uses her ponytail and fused shadow relic on her crown to deal heavy damage.
Who would've thought that someone with a hobby as innocuous as bug collecting could take on Poes? Agitha fights with her parasol in hand, summoning bugs to fend off enemies.
The Usurper King slithers onto the scene with a scimitar in each hand. He can grow to ridiculous proportions and belly flop onto the battlefield, as well as throw energy blasts.
A brand new, tome-wielding character, this blue-haired mage looks to bring a new twist on the crossover adventure. Lana conjures translucent blocks to squash her enemies and aid in acrobatics, shattering them with her magic to damage enemies with its shards. She figures into the story as a foil for antagonist Cia.
Lana can also use Deku-inspired items, too. She can swoop in on groups of enemies using the Deku Leaf, swing a wooden staff (not labeled as a Deku Stick, but oh well), and summon adorable little Deku Sprouts to mount and charge into battle.
Link's faithful companion from Skyward Sword, Fi is the spirit of the Goddess Sword incarnate, which Link and Fi would go on to forge into the Master Sword itself. Fi dances around the battlefield damaging enemies with magical pirouette strikes and transforms into the Goddess Sword to land finishing blows.
Princess Ruto
The Zora princess and sage of water packs quite a wallop with her repertoire of water-based attacks. Not only can she bowl over crowds with crashing waves, she can also shoot a school of aqueous fish at fools (yes, you read sentence that correctly).
The amiable ruler of Death Mountain's Goron City, Darunia wields his people's prized megaton hammer. And, yes, he can also curl into a ball and steamroll his opponents with his rocky hide.
Although we first got a taste of Sheik's fighting ability in Super Smash Bros. Melee, we're about to see what other tricks Zelda's alter ego has in store. Sheik cuts through bad guys with quick, open-handed strikes and plays Zelda tunes like the Bolero of Fire and Prelude of Light on a harp to conjure various spells.
The cheeky villain of Skyward Sword, Ghirahim not only swings a sword in battle but transforms his entire body into one. In addition to channeling dark magic powers, he's still plenty ostentatious, displaying dance moves and sending his signature argyle remnants flying everywhere.
The Gerudo King of thieves is back, and this time he's got a brand new hairdo, to boot. He wields dual swords to carve up all those around him, then sends them hurtling with bursts of his horrible magic.
In the August 4 Nintendo Direct on Hyrule Warriors, we learned Link and Zelda will have pre-order exclusive costumes based on their Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword appearances, while those who register their copy of Hyrule Warriors on Club Nintendo before October 23 can claim Ganondorf's Demon King costume set. Hyrule Warriors comes to Wii U September 26, but, for now, you can read our interview with the game's producers and check out our hands-on time with Darunia at Comic-Con.

Disclaimer: They're not mine, unfortunately.
Notes: For two prompts (here and here).
Sorry for the long delay between parts. I've been busy and I just moved, so this fell by the wayside a bit. The end is in sight, and the next part shouldn't have as long of a wait!
Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV
Summary: Kirk & Spock arrive in the transporter room de-aged to five years old. While crew members search for a solution, Kirk & Spock play together on the Enterprise. Fluffy de-aged fic.
"Do we really gotta take a nap after lunch? I'm too old for a nap."
McCoy sets two trays down in front of Jim and Spock. "Well, kid, let this be a lesson. If you hadn't spent half the night in a cupboard playing with my medical supplies, you wouldn't have to take a nap today."
Jim sighs in defeat as he takes a bite of his chicken sandwich. "How come we're not eating with Pavel?"
"You boys don't want to eat with me?" McCoy asks, feigning insult.
"We are more than content to eat our meals with you," Spock replies quickly. "I believe Jim was simply asking out of curiosity."
McCoy smiles at him. "It's alright, Spock. I was kidding. Chekov is about to go on duty, so you're dining with me. I just hope I can be half as entertaining."
"Your presence is acceptable."
McCoy nearly chokes on a mouthful of soup. "I'll take that as a compliment," he sputters.
Spock worries for a brief moment that he's insulted the doctor, but his thoughts are interrupted by Jim who had been busying himself ripping the crusts off his sandwich. Jim leans towards Spock and whispers, "Spock, you wanna go see Maggie again?"
Spock nods as he whispers back, "that would be enjoyable."
Jim turns to McCoy, "can we go see Maggie again?"
"I'll have to talk to Mister Sulu, but I'm sure we can arrange it."
Jim holds his sandwich to his mouth with both hands as he takes another bite. As he's chewing he flashes a smile at Spock.
As the boys follow McCoy down a long corridor to a set of doors, Jim stares at his reflection in the floor. He jumps a few times, as if trying to stomp on the boy in the reflection, but only receives a mirrored stomp in reply.
"The floors are shiny," he say as he jumps again.
When they reach the end of the corridor McCoy presses a button and the doors whoosh open to reveal an elevator.
"Where we goin'?," Jim asks, as he jumps with both feet into the lift.
"We're heading to the bridge."
"What's the bridge?"
"You'll see."
McCoy stands in the middle of the lift as they ride, with Spock standing quietly at one side. Jim stands at the doctor's other side, McCoy's hand clasped gently on his shoulder to keep him away from the panel of buttons. Jim's gaze moves quickly from the various colored buttons to the information panel outlining their location as they travel upwards. He leans over to glance around McCoy, his eyes catching Spock's.
"We're goin' up!"
Spock nods. "Indeed."
Jim whispers to him, "hey Spock, do you know what the bridge is?"
"I believe it is the command center for the ship. Where the Captain sits."
Jim's eyes grow wide. "We're gonna meet the Captain?!"
McCoy chuckles softly above them as the lift comes to a smooth stop and the doors slide open to reveal a brightly lit room. Both boys' eyes grow wide as they take in their surroundings and McCoy gives them both a soft push out the door. "Boys, welcome to the bridge of the Enterprise."
All eyes turn to the two small boys stepping off the lift. There is a moment of stunned silence and then various whispers and giggles. Spock remains close at McCoy's side, while Jim seems torn between his urge to explore and a sudden sense of shyness. As his hand moves up to clasp the hem of McCoy's shirt, the doctor places his own hand reassuringly on Jim's head.
"It's alright. Look, Sulu's here, and Chekov."
Jim and Spock glance around to see Sulu grinning at them, and just past him they spot Chekov waving. Without thinking, Spock raises his hand to wave back at Chekov. There's laughter to his left.
"He's waving, that's adorable," someone says, and Jim's head whips around and then up to look at McCoy.
"Why're they laughin' at Spock?"
"Well now, they're not." McCoy casts a glare at the laughing crew members. "Not really. They're just surprised, is all. Not used to seeing kids on the ship."
He nudges the two boys a little further onto the bridge as Sulu rises and motions for them to approach. Jim finally breaks free of his shyness and sprints towards Sulu while Spock walks quickly behind.
"Hey Mister Sulu!"
Sulu kneels down so he's at their level, "hey Jim! Hey Spock! Have you guys been staying out of trouble?"
Spock says nothing while Jim breathlessly explains the cupboard adventure from the night before. "We got into Bones's stuff last night, but he wasn't mad. We played mummies and ninjas and we explored in the dark while Bones was sleepin'. We had a flashlight thing--"
"An ophthalmoscope," Spock says quietly.
"Yeah, a ofalmoscope, so we could see in the dark."
Sulu listens quietly, grinning and nodding as he glances between Jim and Spock. "Sounds like you've been busy!"
"Yeah, we've been doin' lots of stuff. Mister Sulu, can we visit Maggie today?"
"Of course! Any time you want. She'll be happy to see you two."
Jim grins and finally allows himself a proper glance around the bridge. "Where's the Captain? Are we gonna meet him?"
Sulu looks cautiously at McCoy before responding. "The Captain is on an away mission right now, so I'm taking care of his ship while he's gone."
"You get to run the ship?"
"Sort of, yeah. Me and Mister Scott, we're keeping things running while the Captain and his First Officer are away."
Sulu reaches over to pat the seat of the chair he'd been sitting in earlier. "This is actually the Captain's chair. Do you guys want to sit in it?"
"Yeah!" Jim pauses for a moment, "are we allowed to?"
Sulu laughs. "Of course. I think the Captain would be happy to have 5-year old Jim Kirk sit in his chair."
Jim grins happily as he climbs up onto the seat. He gets himself situated, with his feet dangling over the edge, and then looks down to where Spock is standing.
"There's lotsa room, Spock." Jim pats the empty space beside him, "you wanna sit here too?"
Spock nods, eying the space next to Jim. He climbs up carefully, fitting himself perfectly between Jim and the arm of the chair. They look at each other for a moment, and Jim smiles brightly at him before turning to examine the details on the chair.
"Can we push these buttons?"
"No, sorry guys," Sulu says. "But how about this, when I push this button here," Sulu points to a button next to Spock's arm, "you can say hello to the crew on board. Sound good?"
"It has to be quick. Just say hello and tell them who you are."
The boys nod as they stare at Sulu's finger poised over the button. Jim's mouth is already open, ready to speak, but he waits his turn when Sulu pushes the button and points to Spock first.
"Greetings crew of the Enterprise." Spock can hear his own voice echoing through the ship. "This is Spock."
He pauses then and turns to Jim who is grinning madly and kicking his legs as he waits for Sulu's signal to speak.
"Hello Enterprise!" He shouts when he gets the signal. "This is Jimmy."
Sulu releases the button. "Great job. Sounded just like future Starfleet officers to me."
Jim grows quiet suddenly. Spock watches as Jim fixes his gaze on the buttons beside him until he finally speaks. "I sounded like a Starfleet officer," Jim says so quietly only Spock is able to hear him. "Like my dad."
Spock hesitates for a moment before quickly touching Jim's hand. "Yes, like your father," he whispers. Jim breaks from his daze and smiles, squeezing Spock's hand tight in his own.
"You two had enough of that chair yet?" The boys turn to see McCoy approaching. "It's about time for that nap."
Jim frowns, and Spock can't deny the urge to frown as well. "We don't wanna nap," Jim protests. "We're sittin' in the Captain's chair."
"There'll be plenty of time for that later," McCoy says with a laugh. "Trust me, you boys will like this."
He waits patiently as the boys climb down from the chair, and then motions for them to follow him across the room. Both boys stare in awe as McCoy leads them to a large viewscreen and points to the floor where two small pillows and a few blankets are spread out. "This is where you're gonna rest. Not such a bad place for a nap, if I do say so myself."
Jim and Spock step towards the viewscreen, and Jim presses his hands against it as he stares out at the stars.
"Space!" he says with amazement.
Spock nods silently, pressing his forehead against the view screen in an attempt to gain as much of a view as possible.
Jim turns away for a brief moment to glance at the doctor. "We get to sleep in front of this window??"
"Yeah, kid. Would you like that?"
Jim sighs happily as he turns his gaze back to the view outside. "Yeah!"
McCoy allows them to stare for a few minutes before encouraging them to lie down on their makeshift beds. "A quick nap on the bridge, boys, and then we'll find something fun for you to do."
"We have to visit Maggie," Jim says quietly.
"You're right." McCoy tosses a blanket over them both. "Well, we'll take you to the botany lab then. But for now, just lie here and rest."
"Hey, Spock?"
"Yes, Jim?"
They'd been staring up through the viewscreen for several minutes before Jim finally spoke.
"Do you wanna join Starfleet when you grow up?"
"It would be a fascinating option."
Jim nods. "You wanna join when we grow up? And then we can explore space and live on a ship?"
Spock turns to look at the small boy for a moment before whispering back, "Jim, I should remind you, according to Doctor McCoy we are already adults."
Jim lets out a disappointed sigh, "oh yeah."
Spock is unsure how to reassure Jim, so he simply counts out the full minute of silence before Jim speaks again.
"I wonder if we're Starfleet officers."
Spock considers this for a moment before responding, "I suspect we are members of Starfleet, as we appeared in the transport room of a Federation vessel."
Jim turns to Spock with a look of amazement, "I forgot about that! You think we're officers when we're grown ups?"
"It seems quiet possible, yes."
Jim turns his gaze back to the viewscreen. "I hope we travel together when we're big. We could have adventures and visit Maggie and sleep here all the time."
Spock smiles to himself. "I would enjoy that."
They focus their gaze on the stars, and Spock allows himself to imagine future space adventures. He sees distant planets, and interesting looking aliens, and the doctor's kind face, and Jim in a pirate costume jumping under Maggie's fluttering leaves.
Spock can feel himself drifting into sleep as Jim speaks again.
"Hey, Spock?"
"You're my best friend."
Spock opens his eyes and allows himself to smile at Jim before he turns his gaze back to the viewscreen. "I am honored, Jim. You are also my best friend."
Jim grins and the blanket rustles as he kicks his feet happily.
Spock watches the stars for a moment before making a confession, "I have never had a best friend before."
Jim looks at him in surprise. "I can't remember having one either, but I'm sure I must've had lots."
Spock simply nods.
"But you're the best one," Jim reassures him. "I wonder if we're best friends when we're grown-ups."
"I see no reason why we would not be."
"I'm gonna ask Bones later," Jim says with a yawn. "He prolly knows."
Jim's yawns continue as they stare up at the viewscreen. Spock can feel himself drifting into sleep, and he reaches over to take Jim's hand.
"I'm not afraid," Jim says. "It's not dark here."
Spock pulls his hand away in embarrassment.
"I didn't mean--" Jim says apologetically.
He reaches for Spock's small hand again.
"Let's not go to sleep," he says with another yawn. "Let's just pretend we're sleepin' so we can watch the stars."
Spock nods as his eyes begin to close.

Best in glass
Providing abundant natural daylighting and blurring the boundaries between the interior and exterior worlds, a home boasting a massive glass wall — or two or three — can hold endless architectural appeal to those who don't mind sacrificing a bit of privacy. Sure, you don't have to bother stepping outside to enjoy the breathtaking natural scenery that may surround you, but you better pray that your next-door neighbor isn't nicknamed "Pat the Peeper." (There's a good reason why glass-heavy homes are often erected on remote, woodsy estates and not in dense suburban neighborhoods or in close vicinity to golf courses.)
Glass-walled homes have been around for a while now — midcentury showstoppers such as the late Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan, Conn., set the bar for glass-heavy private residences — and seem to have only gotten more boldly transparent as time has marched on. We've rounded up eight of our favorite glass residences from around the globe. Some of these homes are rather famous — fans of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," of course we didn't forget about you — and some are situated in some very interesting locales. So empty your pockets of stones, grab a Costco-sized bottle of Windex, dig out that old Billy Joel album and join us, won't you?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Bill Taylor was happy with the outcome, but he didn't care much for the process.
Saturday morning at the Vaughn's Gap course at Percy Warner Park the Lady Bisons earned their third consecutive Atlantic Sun Cross Country Championship.
The Lady Bisons finished with 32 points easily besting ETSU in second place with 84.
It is the fifth best winning score in A-Sun history and the best since 1993. It also ties for the largest margin of victory in the A-Sun Championships.
But Taylor, the 2013 A-Sun Coach of the Year for women's cross country and director of Lipscomb's cross country and track and field teams, wanted more.
"Morale was not particularly high," Taylor said. "The men ran almost a perfect race, if not a perfect race and I think in some ways that might have put more pressure on the women before they ran their race. There was a lot more tension than I would have ever expected.
"There were a lot of things that came together to have us not at our absolute best. We maybe let that get the best of us a little bit. Fortunately, we are so strong, so deep and so talented that on our worst day of the year we can still win the conference."
Sally Larson led the Lady Bisons with a fourth place time of 17:53.28 on the 5-K course. Larson, the highest finishing freshman, was awarded A-Sun Freshman of the Year becoming the second Lady Bisons runner to receive the honor after junior Dani Walker won in 2010.
"Sally is an amazing runner," Taylor said. "She has a great engine. She is a very positive person. She can run strong for a very long time.
"Sally didn't look as good today as she has looked this season. She ran a little bit slower even though she led the way for us. This was a learning experience for everybody, especially for her."
Senior Tessa Hoefle was fifth (17:58.47), sophomore Madeline Talbert was sixth (18:13.74) and Walker finished seventh (18:17.04).
Larson, Hoefle, Talbert and Walker were all named to the A-Sun All-Conference First Team. Hoefle and Walker are the first Lipscomb runners to earn All-Atlantic Sun honors three times. Talbert has twice been named to the All-Conference team.
Walker's finish was impressive since she was running despite an ankle injury.
"We literally limped into the conference meet this year," Taylor said. "Dani rolled her ankle in practice last Saturday and had not run until today. We got her taped up and put her on the line and hoped for the best.
"We made the decision on Thursday when final injuries were due. We were kind of locked in from there."
Freshman Hannah Feiten was 10th for the Lady Bisons with a time of 18:23.18. Fellow rookie Barbara Lee Ball was 11th with a time of 18:30.14.
"Madi and Hannah had both been sick all week," Taylor said. "It was a really, really rough week."
Also in the top 20 for the Lady Bisons were junior Kaitlyn Llewellyn (18:52.94) in 17th place and freshman Kelsey Ibarra in 18th with a time of 18:54.00.
Junior Kendra Lobley rounded out the finishers for the Purple and Gold in 21st place with a time of 18:56.37.
Feiten and Ball were named Second Team All-Conference. Larson, Feiten, Ball and Ibarra were named to the A-Sun All-Freshman Team. The four selections tied the conference record for the most runners on the All-Freshman Team.
Placing six runners on the A-Sun All-Conference Team also ties a conference record.
The next challenge for the Lady Bisons will be the NCAA South Region Nov. 15 in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
"We have some serious work to do before the regional meet," Taylor said. "We have to work on everything. We will have a meeting tonight and start talking about regionals and what went well today and what didn't go well.
"We tempoed this course as good as or better than we raced it today. It was a serious mental thing today. The good news is we can work through that. Mental things can be solved quickly. We have to get back on the right track quickly."

The Deputy First Minister has welcomed reports that a pro-union government minister believes there would be a currency union between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK.
The minister, who reportedly is at the heart of the pro-union campaign, told a newspaper tonight that while saying no to a currency union is a vital part of the no campaign, everything would change if there were a yes vote.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the reports gave a big boost to the Yes campaign.
Chancellor George Osborne insisted last month that he would not agree to the key Scottish Government proposal to formally share sterling after a Yes vote on September 18.
The senior Tory was backed by Labour and Liberal Democrat leaders, suggesting no future UK Government would accept the SNP plan.
First Minister Alex Salmond immediately branded the position a bluff.
The unnamed government minister told The Guardian: "Of course there would be a currency union."
He added: "There would be a highly complex set of negotiations after a yes vote with many moving pieces. The UK wants to keep Trident nuclear weapons at Faslane and the Scottish government wants a currency union - you can see the outlines of a deal."
Almost half of voters north of the border think that Mr Osborne's pledge to rule out a formal currency union with an independent Scotland is a bluff, according to a poll published this week.
A YouGov poll suggests 45% of Scots do not believe the Chancellor's threat is real, compared with 40% who think he means what he says.
The minister told the newspaper: "You simply cannot imagine Westminster abandoning the people of Scotland. Saying no to a currency union is obviously a vital part of the no campaign. But everything would change in the negotiations if there were a yes vote."
Ms Sturgeon welcomed report.
She said: "This was supposed to be the No campaign's trump card, but as the polls show it has backfired badly - the gap between Yes and No has halved since November, and most Scots simply do not believe the bluff and bluster we had from George Osborne, Ed Balls and Danny Alexander.
"Now that the card has been withdrawn, it gives an even bigger boost to the Yes campaign. And it can only add to the sense of crisis which is engulfing the No campaign.
"The reality is that a currency union is every bit as much in the interests of the rest of the UK as an independent Scotland, and that is why Westminster will agree to one. Scotland is the rest of the UK's second biggest trading partner, and not sharing sterling would cost businesses south of the border an extra £500 million in transaction costs."
She added: "The leader of the No campaign, Alistair Darling, said that a shared sterling area between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK is 'desirable' and 'logical' - and now the UK Government appears to have u-turned and actually agrees with that sensible position."
The Scottish Government's White Paper on independence, published last November, says a shared currency is in the "economic interests" of Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael said: "An anonymous, off the record quote does not change the stark reality on the currency.
"The UK Government has listened to the views of the Governor of the Bank of England and the independent advice of the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury that a currency would be damaging for all the United Kingdom.
"That's why a currency union simply will not happen.
"The Scottish Government should remove the uncertainty on the currency by coming forward with a plan B."
A Treasury spokesman said: "A currency union is not going to happen. The evidence shows it would not work.
"It would cost jobs and cost money and wouldn't provide economic security for Scotland or for the rest of the UK.
"Any suggestion otherwise is just complete fantasy."

Kris Jenner, Beyoncé Celebrate Tina Knowles' 60th Birthday
Celebrities took New Orleans by storm at the masquerade-themed party
Their daughters are two of the most-searched celebrities online, but Kris Jenner and Tina Knowles proved they can party just as hard as their famous children at the House of Deréon designer's 60th birthday bash.
Knowles – mom to superstar Beyoncé and singer Solange – arrived via horse-drawn carriage to the masquerade-themed party in New Orleans on Saturday night. The birthday girl rocked a low-cut gown and glittery black-and-gold mask, revealing exactly where Beyoncé's diva genes come from.
Jay Z, Jennifer Hudson, Monica and The-Dream were all spotted celebrating at Muriel's Jackson Square, a Creole restaurant in the French Quarter. And reality show maven Jenner, 58, posted a particularly starry Instagram photo of the fete.
"Happy birthday Tina!!! Beautiful night," Jenner captioned a star-studded selfie of herself, Hudson, Knowles and Beyoncé.
Our guess as to what has bonded Knowles and Jenner together? Being grandmothers to the hippest babies in the entertainment industry: Blue Ivy and Kim Kardashian's daughter, North West.
Perhaps grandma-and-me play dates are in their future?

Vice-President Cheney Remembers Joe Meyer
CHEYENNE — (AP) Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne remembered Wyoming Treasurer Joe Meyer on Friday as a lifelong friend who dearly loved his family and the state.Meyer died earlier this month from cancer at age 71. He was best friends with Dick Cheney, going back to when they played football together as boys in Casper in the 1950s.
Dick Cheney recalled how he and Meyer were roommates at the University of Wyoming in the early 1960s, sharing a one-room apartment with a bunk bed. Cheney had cooking duties, keeping a pot of chili or spaghetti constantly on the stove, while Meyer was responsible for taking out the trash, a job at which he reportedly did not excel. Cheney said Meyer dropped his playboy ways after he met his wife, Mary, a former Miss Wyoming. "He was toast from that point on," Cheney said.
While Meyer graduated from law school and quickly found his way into state government, Cheney won Wyoming's lone congressional seat in the late 1970s. He said he invited Meyer to serve in Washington as his chief of staff but said he was shocked when Meyer turned him down. Cheney said Meyer was right, going on to have one of the most distinguished careers in public service in Wyoming history.
Meyer worked at the Legislative Service Office from 1971 through 1985, drafting many state statutes. He served as Wyoming attorney general for former Gov. Mike Sullivan's two terms. Meyer then served as an administrator at the University of Wyoming before he was elected secretary of state in 1999 and served two four-year terms. He was elected state treasurer in 2006 and re-elected in 2010.
Meyer announced he had lung cancer in late 2009, when he was 68. He said at the time he had been a cigarette smoker for 45 years.He returned to work after surgery to remove a malignant tumor from one of his lungs. Meyer's family announced early this year that he needed further surgery to remove cancer from his brain and his health deteriorated after that. Former Gov. Dave Freudenthal remembered Meyer was a "straight-up guy," who would speak the truth and keep his word.Gov. Matt Mead noted that Meyer had served the state for nearly one-third of its history. He said Meyer's counsel and friendship was critical to him in the early days of his administration.
"God bless you my friend, Wyoming's friend: Joe Meyer," he said.

CBS Sports sat down with unemployed winner Rich Rodriguez on Friday. They asked whether he had "any regrets in hindsight jumping from West Virginia to Michigan"? Then, they allowed RichRod to retort:
You know that's a fair question, and I've been asked that before. I think it's easy to go back now and say, "Gee, made a mistake." And you can say that now because of hindsight. But at the time, some of the things I was looking to do and the opportunity that was there you kind of make the move. The frustrating part for us was that we thought we battled through the tougher times to get it to this point where we had a lot of the team coming back and we thought we were getting ready to take off, but you know hindsight is always easier to look back and say, "it was a mistake." Because we did have a good thing going at West Virginia, and we really enjoyed it. As you look back at it, wasn't the best move. Easy to say now.

The Cross House
A Lot Of Little Bits
For the last six weeks I have been wandering from room to room doing small things.
All these small thing appear to have a common theme: Putting the Cross House back together.
And this feel really good.
Nothing I have done is visually dramatic. There are no stunning Before/After images. But the house, I dunno, feels better. It feels less pulled apart. It also functions better.
It is really easy when doing over a big ol' house to end up with stuff everywhere, with every room filled with lumber and tools and house bits and stuff stuff stuff.
However, I learned long ago that this can be soul destroying. It is not only bad for the owner but is also bad for anybody working on the house. Thus, about twice a year, I go on a scour rampage. I scour the house of stuff stuff stuff and also clean everything, like the floors and mantel tops and window sills.
Today, the Cross House is more organized and stuff-free than it has ever been since I purchased the house almost four years ago. Almost all the rooms are now wholly empty of stuff stuff stuff and I relish walking around the house enjoying its Zen-like emptiness.
Also, I long ago discovered that getting people to work on an old house is HUGELY easier when they are not confronted with stuff stuff stuff everywhere.
In summation, although the south facade of the Cross House is still an utter wreck (the big 2018 project), and most of the rooms still look like bombs have gone off in them, the house feels a lot better than it did six weeks ago.
Ross happy.

This was our first experience of using a 'sitters' sitter and indeed our first experience of leaving our three month old son with anyone other than family. Fiona was wonderful; she arrived perfectly on time for introductions and a quick tour of anything she might need to know before asking whether we preferred to have updates texted to us or not. We will definitely use Fiona again when we are back in St. Andrews. Altogether a perfect experience from start to finish.
Tania looked after my one year old daughter yesterday. My daughter was instantly at ease with her, and was soon giggling and playing. I was really comfortable leaving her with Tania, who is obviously very experienced with children. I can highly recommend her.
Joanne was fantastic with my two boys aged 2 and 3. We threw her in at the deep end and she was brilliant! Playing outdoor games and having a picnic etc. The boys loved both their days with her and can't wait to see her again. Highly recommended!

App::MP4Meta::Command::tv - Apply metadata to a TV Series. Parses the filename in order to get the shows title and its season and episode number.
version 1.153340
mp4meta tv THE_MIGHTY_BOOSH_S1E1.m4v THE_MIGHTY_BOOSH_S1E2.m4v
mp4meta tv --noreplace 24.S01E01.m4v
This command applies metadata to one or more TV Series. It parses the filename in order to get the shows title and its season and episode number.
It gets the TV Series metadata by querying various sources (see below). It then uses AtomicParsley to apply the metadata to the file.
If it can not find the TV Series on any of the sources, by default it will not apply any metadata. If you wan't it to apply what it can, pass the
--withoutany option.
By default, it will apply the metadata to the existing file. If you want it to write to a temporary file and leave the existing file untouched, provide the
--noreplace option.
By default, the module will first try to get data from the TVDB (using WebService::TVDB).
NOTE: To use the TVDB, you will need an API key, which should be stored in your
.netrc file. See WebService::TVDB for more information.

29 November 2012 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau
Arena, Ildong collaborate in South Korea
Singapore: Arena Pharmaceuticals has entered into a co-development and license agreement with Ildong Pharmaceutical, for temanogrel, Arena's internally discovered inverse agonist of the serotonin 2A receptor.
The agreement grants Ildong exclusive rights to commercialize temanogrel in South Korea for myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, stroke, peripheral artery disease, and other cardiovascular diseases, subject to further development and regulatory approval of temanogrel. Initially, Ildong will be responsible for funding and conducting, under the direction of a joint steering committee, the next two planned clinical trials in this program: an additional phase I trial in healthy volunteers and a phase IIa proof-of-concept trial in patients.
"The phase I trials Arena previously conducted support temanogrel's potential to treat a variety of conditions related to thrombosis through a novel mechanism that may provide advantages over currently available therapies," said Mr Jack Lief, Arena's president and chief executive officer. "A successful product in this category has the potential to serve as an important treatment option for many patients, and this collaboration with Ildong enables us to resume clinical development in a cost-effective manner."
Arena will maintain ownership of temanogrel outside of South Korea, and has the rights to use data generated by Ildong for the development and potential commercialization of temanogrel outside of South Korea by Arena or other Arena licensees. In addition, Ildong has agreed to pay Arena a $2 million development milestone if the planned additional phase 1 and phase IIa clinical trials conducted by Ildong support continued development and Arena or another Arena licensee initiates a phase IIb clinical trial of temanogrel.
Arena is also eligible to receive a royalty on net sales of temanogrel in South Korea, while Ildong is eligible to receive a share of future payments received by Arena related to licensing transactions and sales of temanogrel in other territories.
"It is a great pleasure to establish this collaboration with Arena for temanogrel," said Jung-chi Lee, Ildong's chairman and chief executive officer. "We look forward to supporting the global development of this drug candidate and having the opportunity to bring temanogrel to patients in South Korea as a treatment for thrombotic diseases."

Two of my favorites caught me a little off guard , they were exceptional in the complexity and the long lasting flavors.
Siesta Key Alexander
- 1 oz. Siesta Key Spiced Rum
- 1 1/2 oz. Coffee Rum
- 1/2 oz. Amaretto
- 1 oz. Cream of Coconut
- 1 oz. Half and Half
Siesta Key Nutty Sour
- 1 1/2 oz. Siesta Key Spiced Rum
- 1 oz. Amaretto
- 1/2 oz. Sweet and Sour.
These are a couple of the 5 or 6 really exciting cocktails that we were able to produce with the help of our lab mice yesterday. This is a great rum, but we found that to create a really good cocktail with spiced rum takes some work, spices don't all play well with other things or spices. Enjoy the cocktails and the very fine new Siesta Key Spiced Rum. ;o)

The Torch 9810 keeps the same slide-out form factor, but brings a number of hugely-needed improvements. Chief among those is inclusion of a much faster single core 1.2 GHz MSM8255 Snapdragon SoC, which will no doubt provide a noticeable boost in speed compared to the Torch 9800's underwhelming and outdated 624 MHz Marvell Tavor PXA930 SoC. The 5 MP camera can shoot 720p video this time around, no doubt thanks in part to having an actual modern SoC, and there's HSPA+ 14.4 connectivity. There's also a VGA 3.2" panel now, instead of the Torch's rather anemic 360x480.

Closest match to your question:
I sent in my documents last week, why does my status still say "initiated"?
If your Bear Tracks To-Do List says that your document is "Initiated," this means that we have not received the official, complete version of that document.
We may have received unofficial or interim transcripts or self-reported marks, which will allow us to begin evaluating your application. However, the status will remain as "Initiated" until your official, complete transcripts have been received.
Please note: even if your official, complete transcripts have been sent to the university, it can take up to 2 weeks for this to be reflected in Bear Tracks. The date your documents are postmarked will be taken as the date on which they were received.
Still haven't found the answer you're looking for?

Spring 2020 classes have resumed online.Please visit
dcccd.edu/coronavirus for additional information and to
learn how to prepare for online classes.
The special session of the 85th Texas Legislature began July 18 and lasts for 30 days. Check back for updated information.
See the bills tracked by DCCCD to read the text of a bill, its status and other important information.
Texas community colleges are vital to the overall well-being of Texas. DCCCD and our 165,000 students, along with our 49 community colleges across the state, play a central role in maintaining Texas' economic engine and educating the majority of entering freshman and sophomore students.
During the special session we will be paying close attention to property tax bills and other bills that impact our students, faculty and staff. Please let us know if you need further information.
Find out more by clicking links below.
The job market in Dallas County is short by more than 4,000 early childhood educators. DCCCD has a solution: create an Early Childhood Institute and award baccalaureate degrees in early childhood education. By offering a quality and affordable degree, we support the governor's mission of a quality pre-k and help fill the teacher shortage without adding a fiscal note to the state.
OUTCOME: S.B. 2118 was passed and signed by Governor Abbott. It will allow community colleges to offer a quality, affordable bachelor's degree in applied science, including applied science with an emphasis in early childhood education, applied technology or nursing.
All Texas community colleges are seeking specific funding amounts — to serve over 700K students — for each of the three major components of state funding for community colleges: Core Operations, Success Points and Instruction/Contact Hours. The total request in new funds for the 2018-2019 biennium is $1.83 billion — a 5% increase for colleges that have grown 62% since 2000.
OUTCOME: S.B. 1 funds all community colleges at $1.764 billion. Specifically, DCCCD received $179,301,855 — which includes special items funding. Overall, a 2.6% increase from the current funding level.
Texas community colleges continuously demonstrate innovative ways of preparing students for the workforce, and are rethinking what defines student and community success by exploring efficiencies in how we run our institutions.
Partnerships in Texas are key to success and to ensure we are wide open for business. We propose an economic development program to attract or expand new businesses in Texas. Recruit Texas provides turnkey workforce training and will utilize the training strength of our community and technical colleges to deliver training needs. Recruit Texas seeks to redirect current funds within the Texas Workforce Commission, and it asks community colleges to invest in the partnership.
OUTCOME: H.B. 108 — "Recruit Texas" — was passed and signed by Governor Abbott. H.B. 108 allows Texas to remain competitive by granting permission to the Texas Workforce Commission to access skills development funds. The funds will allow community colleges and businesses wishing to relocate to Texas the opportunity to partner and recruit employees, provide safety training and leadership development.
For every $1 invested in TX SBDC, $5.38 in tax revenue is generated. Statewide, there are four SBDC lead offices; one is housed at the Dallas County Community College District. SBDC conducts research, and counsels and trains business people in managing, financing and operating small businesses. SBDC plays a pivotal role in driving the Texas economy by creating jobs and generating revenue for the state. We believe in keeping the Texas economy strong by funding SBDC.
OUTCOME: Through higher education special items funding, the state appropriated $3,856,647 for the North Texas SBDC. The North Texas SBDC serves 49 counties through 12 offices and several satellite branches.
The Dallas County Community College District worked with legislators during the recent 85th legislative session to obtain authority to offer bachelor degrees. Specifically, S.B. 2118 allows DCCCD to offer the choice of a quality, affordable bachelor's degree in applied science, including applied science with an emphasis in early childhood education, applied technology, or nursing.
While the bill was signed and is effective immediately, it will take time for all community colleges to receive approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and meet the applicable accreditation requirements of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. DCCCD expects the entire process to take two to four years.
We are as excited as current and prospective students to offer a bachelor's degree, and we commit to work hard to create a robust curriculum that will help our students pursue their dreams. Please stay in touch with DCCCD and visit our website to learn more and receive updates.
85th Legislative Session Recap (PDF - 171KB)
DCCCD has approximately 100,000 students each semester during the regular academic year — more than 73,000 credit and 25,000 continuing education students — that drive the district to support their instructional, laboratory and facilities needs. Those needs compel us to work with legislators and to ensure that community colleges must be a statewide priority — particularly as businesses expand, the state's economy grows and the demand for a well-trained workforce continues to build.
The 50 community colleges/systems in Texas represent the largest sector of higher education in the state because we enroll more than 70% of all Texas freshmen and sophomores — and 78% of all minority freshmen and sophomores, too, which reflects the ethnic diversity we see every day across the state.
Community colleges serve as a gateway that provides access to higher education for people from every walk of life and from every community in Texas. We are the key to success in achieving the states' goals in 60X30TX. DCCCD, along with all other community colleges in Texas, attracts those students who are needed in the higher education system. Today, everyone needs some college to succeed and build careers.
When our students earn credentials, they are able to enter the workforce and find jobs that pay a living wage; or transfer to another college or university to earn additional credentials so that they, too, eventually enter the workforce and build their careers.
With those facts in mind, DCCCD and other two-year institutions in Texas believe that the focus on community colleges and the contributions that they make to individual success, community needs, business partnerships and economic growth is earned and must be funded.
Our legislative priorities reflect the strategic priorities of our DCCCD board of trustees as well as several of priorities supported by the Texas Association of Community Colleges.
During this session of the Texas Legislature — which brings new leadership and new challenges to the floor, as well as existing budget issues — we believe that funding must grow as needs of community college students grow. DCCCD and other two-year colleges across the state need the resources and support to continue the education and training that our students and the state of Texas need to succeed — education, workforce training, stability of employment, economic growth and support for the communities we serve.

Henry Grabar
Henry Grabar is a staff writer for Slate's Moneybox and a former fellow at CityLab. He lives in New York.
When Jean-Francois Mayet became mayor of Châteauroux in 2001, the town's transit system was descending into irrelevance. Each of Châteauroux's 49,000 inhabitants took the bus, on average, 21 times per year, well below the 38 per annum average for small French cities.
Mayet, a member of France's socialist party, did what few mayors confronted with a struggling mass transit system would do: he made the whole thing free.
Ever since, the otherwise ordinary French town has become a canary in the coal mine of transportation policy, closely watched by the dozens of other municipalities in various stages of free transit experiments. According to a report [PDF, French] released this year, per person ridership in Châteauroux has jumped from 21 trips a year to 61. Total ridership is up 208 percent in 11 years.
The dozen or so bus lines of Châteauroux, which is about halfway between Paris and Bordeaux, became free in 2001, after Mayet was elected. It wasn't the first French city to offer free transit, but it was the biggest and the only larger city to demonetize its entire network. Only the Belgian city of Hasselt, which dropped fares system-wide in 1997, was even close to the same league.
But Châteauroux didn't just test the viability of eliminating fares as a social experiment; it used free rides to save its mass transit system. In 2002, ridership had already increased 81 percent.
There were growing pains: the number of slashed or tagged seats grew from a dozen in 2001 to 118 in 2002. Drivers complained that passengers treated the bus like a personal car, expecting to be dropped off at their doorsteps.
But overall, the project has been considered a success. In 2008, the conservative newspaper Le Figaro reported that Mayet was the most popular mayor in France among towns with between 30 and 50,000 inhabitants. He's still in the job, as well as being a regional representative to the French Senate.
The motivations for making a transit system free are obvious. Increased ridership can relieve traffic, improve the environment, boost the system's efficiency, give residents more spending money, help the poor, and rejuvenate central business districts. Unfortunately, the Châteauroux report contains little large-scale analysis of the effects of the system.
But as it turns out, the change nearly paid for itself. Forty-seven percent of bus-goers were already riding for free, and tickets covered only 14 percent of the city's transit expenses. By slightly increasing the transit tax on big local businesses while eliminating the costs of printing, ticket-punching technology and the human infrastructure of ticket sales, the city turned a profit on the transit system in '03, '04, '05, and '07. Since '08, returns have not been as positive, though the report attributes that to a shift in control from the city to the region.
Not everyone is jumping on board. Bruno Cordier, author of a 2007 report Totally Free Mass Transit [PDF, French] cautions that fare-cutting won't work at all for many cities.
"Gratuity alone does not make the network attractive," Cordier told Le Monde. He points out that Châteauroux also expanded their network by 42 kilometers at the same time, which could have played as much of a role as free rides. Plus, he says, the system won't work at all in big cities, where 30-40 percent of transit revenue comes from ticket sales, as opposed to a mere 14 percent in Châteauroux.
And while it might revitalize a struggling small-town transit network, big cities don't need to incentivize mass transit the same way, where a larger proportion of residents have no other options. To help lower-income residents, Cordier favors a "social tariff" system, developed in Dunkerque in the 1990s, in which discounts on transport passes basically correspond to a passenger's tax bracket. In Grenoble, for example, the poorest residents can get 95 percent off a transport pass, while the rich pay full price. This allows cities to keep investing in improving the system.
One of Châteauroux's imitators also released a report this year: Aubagne, a metro area of 100,000 spread around 12 towns to the west of Marseille. This being France, the city's mayor teamed up with a philosopher to write a book on the experiment, entitled, in part, Liberté, égalité, gratuité.
Aubagne has had a free transit system since 2009, when the city raised the transport tax on large businesses from .6 to 1.8 percent. In terms of persons served, it is one of the largest free-transit projects in the world. Since transit fares were abolished in 2009, ridership has increased 170 percent – a gain in three years that is already approaching the eleven-year mark from Châteauroux. The authors told TerraEco that 99 percent of residents are happy with the new policy. Traffic congestion is down 10 percent [PDF, French].
The concept is about to meet its biggest test. At the end of this year, Tallinn, Estonia (pop. 406,000) will eliminate fares on its transit system for residents, making it the world's biggest city with free mass transit.

The coronavirus crisis stands to dramatically reshape cities around the world. But the biggest revolutions in urban space may have begun before the pandemic.
Now more than ever, public transportation is not just about ridership. Buses, trains, and subways make urban civilization possible.
What do we know so far about the types of places that are more susceptible to the spread of Covid-19? In the U.S., density is just the beginning of the story.
With cities in lockdown and workplaces closed, the big drop in traffic and transit riders allows road repair and construction projects to rush forward.
Renters in apartments and houses share more than just germs with their roommates: Life under coronavirus lockdown means negotiating new social rules.

Obama meets with aides on Egypt
President Obama spent part of his July Fourth holiday meeting with aides about the crisis in Egypt.
Obama and members of his national security team met in the White House Situation Room a day after the Egyptian military ousted President Mohammed Morsi, installed a temporary government, and called for new elections.
In addition, Obama aides "have been in touch with Egyptian officials and our regional partners to convey the importance of a quick and responsible return of full authority to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible," said a White House statement.
Echoing Obama's statement of Wednesday evening, the White House also called for "a transparent political process that is inclusive of all parties and groups; avoiding any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters; and the responsibility of all groups and parties to avoid violence."
NEWS:In Egypt, U.S. draws ire from both sides
The White House also provided a list of phone calls made Wednesday and Thursday:
Secretary of State (John) Kerry with Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr, Egyptian Constitution Party President ElBaradei, Norwegian Foreign Minister Eade, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Qatari Foreign Minister al-Attiyah, Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoglu, and Emirati Foreign Minister bin Zayed.
Secretary of Defense (Chuck) Hagel with Egyptian Minister of Defense al-Sisi and Israeli Defense Minister Ya'alon.
National Security Adviser Susan Rice with Israeli National Security Advisor Amidror.
Deputy National Security Advisor Antony Blinken with Egyptian Deputy Minister of Defense Al-Assar.

Doing right by whales
R ight whales are notoriously slow swimmers, averaging about six miles per hour at top speed. It takes a lot of effort to move a 50-foot, 70-ton body through water. An average-sized cruise ship, say at 800 feet in length, propels along at more than 25 miles an hour, weighs more than 55,000 tons — with some 25 feet of draft below the water line.
Should the two head towards a collision, the odds are not good for a right whale to get out of the way or a cruise ship to change course or speed in time. Should the two collide, there will be an obvious winner and loser.
Ten endangered right whales have died this summer in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, at least two from blunt force trauma. There are only an estimated 500 right whales left, after they were hunted almost to the point of extinction in the past century.
As the death toll mounted this summer, there was a clamour from environmental groups, scientists and concerned Canadians for protective measures. Ottawa responded by bringing in rules for ships in certain areas of the Gulf to reduce speed or change course to avoid collisions.
The traditional range for right whales is along the U.S. eastern seaboard and Bay of Fundy. Scientists are trying to figure out why they are moving into the Gulf — perhaps because of warming waters and more food options since they feed on zooplankton and krill.
While many cruise lines are following the new rules, others have abruptly cancelled port visits and shifted to other cities. Charlottetown has lost 10 cruise ships and thousands of potential visitors. Despite those cancellations, cruise ship traffic in Atlantic Canada is up significantly this year and so are the risks of collisions with whales.
Today, tourism industry stakeholders meet in Charlottetown to talk about the cancellations and the economic impact on city and province. The province supports federal efforts to prevent future whale deaths, but it also has an economy to run.
The restrictions are temporary measures until the 80 to 100 right whales currently in the gulf migrate south this fall, out through the Cabot Strait and close to Sydney, Halifax and Saint John, as the mammals prefer to remain close to shore. Will Canada alter shipping restrictions to match their fall migration?
Several right whales also died in American waters this year and now the U.S. is launching an investigation. Restrictions on speeds and routes may well expand south of the border. Will some cruise ships then avoid New York, Boston and other major American ports?
One of the cruise lines, which cancelled visits to P.E.I., boasts it has a comprehensive Whale Strike Avoidance program in place and takes its responsibility to be good stewards of the marine environment very seriously. Its ships have clear guidelines on how to operate if whales are sighted nearby, which include altering course, reducing speed as required and adding additional lookouts in sensitive areas.
So what is their problem obeying a few temporary Canadian shipping rules?

Dave Dugdale is not a DSLR camera expert. However, Dave is interested in learning all about DSLR production and sharing all this mistakes with others. He created a site called Learning DSLR Video.com, which aims to show others how to shoot HD video with a DSLR. The site is primarily aimed at others like Dave that are making the transition from point-and-shoot cameras to DSLRs.
Up until now, Dave has been using Sony Vegas to edit his videos. With the latest version of Vegas focused more on stereoscopic 3D than DSLR editing, he decided to take a serious look at Premiere Pro CS5. Although he doesn't have a recommended video card, Dave seems to be very happy with Premiere Pro's performance.
Dave plans on creating more videos about "the switch" to Premiere Pro CS5, so I'll be following along. Check out the first installment of the series, "Switching to Premiere Pro CS5 – Audio Track Format" on Dave's website.

Gov. John Hickenlooper hires fellow party members who lost elections — just like Bill Owens did
The conservative blog Colorado Peak Politics is so young it doesn't remember when a Republican actually held the governor's office but that still doesn't excuse the whippersnapper's post about so-called "patronage jobs" in Gov. John Hickenlooper's administration.
"Oh to be a Democrat who loses an election, what a lottery ticket that is. Last week, we reported that Joe Neguse was offered Democrats' most fought after spot (we can only assume) — top regulator in the state. An astute reader pointed out that everyone is getting a patronage job in the Hick administration."
And let's go back to 1998, when Republican Bill Owens won the governor's race, ending 24 straight years of Democratic control of the governor's office. Owens appointed Republican John Suthers, who lost the attorney general's race to Democrat Ken Salazar, as head of the Department of Corrections. And Owens appointed Tom Norton, the state Senate president, as head of the Department of Transportation. Norton lost the GOP gubernatorial primary to Owens.

Qualitative Reseach Consultants Assn http://www.qrca.com
I'm chairperson for the upcoming 2010 Conference on Qualitative Research. This is a volunteer position which is a labor of love. My role is to inspire and get my peers excited about attending the 3 day event. I like color, imagination and uniqueness.
Professional, creative interviewers and moderators who conduct qualitative research for large corporations. That includes focus groups and in depth interviews. They can be in person at a conference center, on the phone, on line, or in someone's home or office. They already belong to QRCA or are prospects They are inquisitive, know a lot about many products and services, have a good sense of humor, enjoy working with people, interesting to talk to.
Need a colorful, attention grabbing logo that Communicates/ fits the tagline:
Innovation, Instinct and Vision. Must all say "QRCA 2010" for reference, see current 2009 logo at http://www.qrca.com and previous 2008 logo at http://www.qrca.com/associations/63…-SMALL.pdf
I'm hoping for something more lively and exciting han the current one for 2009. it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the conference theme. The 2008 design better fit the Express Yourself theme.
The conference is taking place in Philadelphia, home of Benjamin Franklin and lots of arts. Does that help? Logo doesn't need to suggest either. Just a little more info. first time doing this, so not sure how much else you need.

New, fresh, and a little bit filthy - we're going to make audio on the web that little bit more interesting...
The market is new, the audience don't know they want it yet, the web's not ready for it. Eventually to be delivered by iphone too, we're aiming at people 18 - 65, male and female. A little bit tech savvy, but not just the geeks. It's not a site you'll spend all day on, but people will know, and they should be able to easily recognise the logo. In short, it's new and we're looking to generate a buzz.
- We like clean lines, bright colours and simplicity.
- The logo would contain both words (and optionally the .com extension).
- Not too many colours.
- To be used on white and black backgrounds so nothing too pale.
- It's not a kids site, so you can be as creative as you like.
- A little bith filthy, a little bit classy.
- looking for something easily recognisable.

Hello everyone;
As I am new to the C++ stream I wanted to ask the you fellow programmers if C++ (or VC++) is better than C for programming large 3D games? I am a veteren in C but green in C++. And if you have time to mention why one or the other is better even if briefly, I'd appreciate it.

Bless the Web team over at Mint.com for this new infographic, detailing their shopping indices in the run-up to the coming Black Friday. Mint's users input their spending habits on the site, and the anonymized data has yielded lots of interesting results. The latest is about Black Friday sales, they're predicting that this year should be pretty strong.
The bottom two graphs show sales figures among mass-market and luxury retailers, gathered from Mint's own records of consumer spending. Both are well over the moribund stats they posted in 2008.
But maybe the most helpful of the three graphs is the first one. Mint looked at their users' spending at several major retailers, and used that to calculate an average spend per user. The dotted lines show the trend in 2008; the solid line shows the trend in 2009. In 2008, the average spend was flat or declining. In 2009, things are trending back up.
newsletterPromo("FCNow", "right");
Now, economists have reached a broad consensus that consumer-spending is a pretty dicey way to rescue us from a recession–it's better to invest, and let innovation create more jobs. Nonetheless: American Consumer, to the rescue!

Do people here think it's fair to call him the best in the world yet?
After today's unbelievable innings, I think it's hard to find comparisons for him any more. Obviously there's some parts of the world he hasn't played in yet and some bowlers he hasn't faced, but I think that, with the possible exception of Bevan, there's not been such a complete batsman in the modern ODI era. He puts a huge price on his wicket and can drag the team out of difficult situations or score on difficult wickets, and he's also among the best in the world in terms of late over acceleration and can hit the first ball of his innings. On top of that, he's close to the best runner between the wickets in world cricket, and his placement of bread and butter singles is unbelievable.
In terms of the obvious comparison to Bevan, I'd be hesitant to call him better because of his hitting ability, for the simple reason that a lot of batsmen in world cricket are hitting the ball better than batsmen of similar skill used to. It's fair to say though that Bevan never possessed the capability to hit the huge sixes off any sort of bowling that Hussey can, for one reason or another. Obviously Bevan's placement abilities for boundary scoring was peerless, though.

Ohio Catholic diocese discourages ice challenge
A Roman Catholic diocese in southwest Ohio is urging its school leaders not to encourage the ice-bucket challenge for the ALS Association because donations could fund research involving embryonic stem cells.
Archdiocese of Cincinnati spokesman Dan Andriacco says the challenge itself is fine, but money sent to the ALS Association funds at least one study using embryonic stem cells. An embryo must be destroyed to harvest its stem cells, and many Catholics relate that to abortion.
Andriacco tells The Cincinnati Enquirer that the diocese is urging money be sent instead to the John Paul II Medical Research Institute in Iowa, where the research is conducted using only adult stem cells.
The altruistic ice-bucket stunt to fund amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research has become an Internet sensation.

A beautiful sight, we're shooting each other in the face tonight, walking through Grand Theft Auto Online's magical holiday snowfall. I'm sorry. I probably could have resisted if I'd tried harder. Let's just unwrap Rockstar's Christmas gifts. (Update: Rockstar says the snow is tomorrow only.)
Gifts like special limited-time, holiday themed items available in GTA V's clothing shops until January 5. Buy now and then break out the snowman and Santa masks in the middle of summer to up the creep factor.
Like taking pictures? Rockstar's has also rolled out a host of new Snapmatic features — filters, borders, facial animations, a depth of field effect and the Meme Creator, which allows players to add meme text to their snaps. Scary.
All this, plus sales on virtual items you're spending virtual money on, which always seems so pointless but the kids seem to dig it.
Whatever, I'm just in it for the hazardous road conditions. They don't have snow chains in Los Santos, so the next two days should be gloriously chaotic. Ho, ho, ho.

| 13.8°C Belfast
Miley Cyrus has said she has lost interest in acting.
The Wrecking Ball singer, who shot to fame at the age of 12 in Disney TV show Hannah Montana, told German Vogue that she wants to be herself.
"I'm just not passionate about acting, because I don't like to pretend to be somebody I'm actually not," Miley told German Vogue.
"Why should I put on strange characters? I prefer to show my true colours as the real Miley Cyrus," the Daily Mirror reported her as saying.
Miley, 21, whose twerking and nudity has hit the headlines, said being in the entertainment industry was liberating because it allowed her to do what she wants.
"I'm not exactly a normal citizen," the singer, who appeared topless in the mag, said. "My profession allows me to run around however I like. Wild outfits or crazy haircuts are not taboo for me.
"After all, I work in the entertainment business, which I feel is a huge plus, simply because in this profession I can develop freely with no trouble at all.
"I'm also completely convinced that every young person has the right to get free of whatever's restricting them. Which is why I encourage everyone to go for self-fulfillment."
Miley said that, despite her antics, she has a serious side.
"I think a lot about politics... There is racism and discrimination. I fight against that. I demand more tolerance, especially for homosexuals, who of course should be allowed to marry."

Beware of this seller.

It looked nothing like the color I had so painstakingly chosen. No response to my email about that either...
