SmashPad Streamkend with Guacamelee! – April 13 at 2 PM EST
April 13th, 2013 | Written by Chris Selogy | Topic: PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, SmashPad Streamkend | Comments OffWatch live video from smashpad on www.twitch.tv
This week's SmashPad Streamkend will be featuring Guacamelee!, which is the latest game from Drinkbox Studios released on PSN this week for the PS3 and Vita. You may know Drinkbox as the developer behind the two Tales From Space games on PSN, which were platformers starring blobs that gained a lot of praise from fans and critics alike. Their latest game is quite a bit different in that it's more of a Metroidvania-style game featuring a Mexican luchador that sets out to save El Presidente's daughter after she's been kidnapped during a disastrous Day of the Dead celebration. Along the way, he earns plenty of new moves and powers to help him explore the environment and defeat plenty of baddies, as you'd expect from this style of game.

The Gastrointestinal (GI) Drugs and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committees voted 12-9 that the efficacy data supported the use of Entyvio (vedolizumab) as an induction therapy in patients with Crohn's diseaseBy Mari Serebrov | BioWorld Today | Tuesday, December 10, 2013 -

Forest joins restructuring mania, focus on streamlining
Forest Laboratories Inc. joined the litany of big pharma companies announcing restructuring programs last week. But the major restructuring, dubbed Project Rejuvenate, appears to be more about streamlining operations than downsizing. Of the $500 million in spending cuts planned by the end of its fiscal 2016 year, only about 25 percent is related to the 500-person reduction in headcount, approximately 10 percent of its workforce. By comparison, Merck & Co Inc. announced a 20 percent reduction inBy Brian Orelli | BioWorld Insight | Monday, December 9, 2013 -

Investors supportive despite pharma's shrinking returns
A recent report on the cost of bringing an asset from discovery to the market place has increased significantly for pharmaceutical companies over the last four years but returns on their investments have not kept pace. This state-of-affairs has caused these firms to adjust their business plans accordingly. The fourth annual report on pharmaceutical industry returns from Deloitte LLP in association with Thomson Reuters reveals the cost of bringing an asset from discovery to launch increased 18By Peter Winter | BioWorld Insight | Monday, December 9, 2013

"Good hotel, not much else here"
Reviewed Dec 1, 2013
tennisphotog | virginia
This is a pretty new or newly redone hotel. It's fine. But there are few options for food this somewhat remote location, and the choices you have are bad. Room was clean, bed was very comfortable. Breakfast pretty average as they go, public bathroom on ground level was not cleaned. Receptionist not very welcoming. It's probably the best hotel on this exit though, looking at the other options.

"Good overnight passing thru"
Reviewed Dec 1, 2013
L82travel | Michigan
We stayed at this hotel overnight while passing thru on our way East. It was remodeled, clean and neat. The night staff was very friendly, the morning staff not so much. The hotel is located off a main through fare that had a lot of restaurants. I would recommend this hotel. It was very acceptable. Thought the price could be a little less but would stay here again if need be.

"Horrible service."
Reviewed Nov 5, 2013
kentrell1 |
The man at the front desk was very rude to my family and I there was a complaint from someone on the second floor as we were on the third floor and he called my room at 11:00pm and advised me that my children were making too much noise and the other guest were complaining I advised him that my children were in the bed sleep. I called him back two minutes later and reported to him that the noise and running was in the hallway and he just said OK never checked on it or anything. I also had issue with the cleaning supervisor she was in the elevator with my husband and was talking about our children specifically and did not know that she was even talking to their dad. The laquinta has some work to do and some retraining or firing because they have a job and should be grateful there are a lot of people out here who cant find a job and would appreciate doing their job no i would not go here anymore period or recommend it to anyone else.

"Adequate for the Price"
Reviewed Nov 2, 2013
jettan | Centerville, Ohio
Price and location made this an easy choice, but the accommodations could stand a remodel. The room opened to an immediate view of the bathroom sink. Toilet and shower are in a separate room. The toilet did not work well. The beds were comfortable. The continental breakfast offered very limited choices. Although highway 271 runs directly behind the hotel, the noise was minimal. Checking in we encountered a desk clerk with a gruff attitude, which didn't make the experience a pleasant one.

Barb2van | Rochester, New York
We were stranded for four days while waiting for our motorhome to be repaired and stand here. The room was clean and comfort, pool very nice to past time, breakfast was good, just got tired of same thing after four days. That was just minor thing, doesn't affect my review. Front desk very helpful and virtuous. Would stay at La Quinta Inns ago. Free wifi was nice touch also.

After string of burglaries police urge, 'don't store items in vehicles' |
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 23:36 | |||
HUGO — Lt. Steve Babcock of the Hugo Police Department said a rash of auto burglaries over the last few months have few leads. He warns people not to store items of value in their vehicle, especially purses, when they are away. Babcock said the majority of the burglaries have involved women's purses, which are often left in plain view, stashed under a seat or hastily covered up. "The burglars are still able to see the purses or a portion thereof and within 10 seconds have shattered the window and taken the purse," he said. They then take the stolen bag to a safer area where they remove the cash and valuables and dispose of the purse. Police report several of these crimes have occured at churches and other public venues. "Women need to remove their purses all together and if that's not possible, place the purse into the trunk," Babcock said. "These crimes can be averted by these two simple precautions."

I stayed at the La Quinta Inn & Suites in Plano last week, training for a new job. My company booked the hotel for me. I have never stayed in a La Quinta before. The hotel was modern and updated. I found the room to be clean and neat. The beds were very comfortable--not too firm. The pillows were also comfortable with a selection of down and poly-filled. Unlike more expensive hotels, high-speed internet was free. I streamed a movie on HBO Go with no problem on my iPad. Continental breakfast was also complimentary til 9 in the morning. The coffee could be better but I did enjoy the waffle bar. My only complaint would be that the water pressure in the shower was not that great. That's really the only thing holding me back from 5 starts. Other than that, the location was also very convenient to shopping and restaurants.

"Excellent choice for a business trip or extended stay"

We stayed here for 5 nights on a recent business trip to Dallas - our offices were in Plano and Richardson. This La Quinta is one of the nicest we have stayed in - our king non-smoking room had a desk/table that ran the entire width of the room! Perfect as my husband and I were both working from the room all week - we had 2 laptops apiece and plenty of room to work and relax. The restroom, microwave and fridge were new and clean, the bed was comfy, lots of dresser/storage space. The location is also great - there's an IHOP next door, and other restaurants nearby - La Luna Noches (great Mexican) and Red Hot and Blue (bbq). The hotel is right next to the Baylor medical center and convenient to many other businesses along Plano Parkway. There are a variety of good areas/walking routes to walk your dog - which we enjoyed. The front desk staff - day and night - were so friendly and helpful. Coltrina and Dustin - thanks so much, keep up the great work! Wonderful hotel, we will definitely stay there again.

We were in Plano to visit a friend in Baylor Medical Center. Four days before our arrival we booked a king room for $85, a very reasonable rate. The hotel is very clean and the room was very comfortable. Room amenities include free wifi, coffee maker, microwave, and fridge. The room has a very roomy desk/data area and a flat screen TV. Little things you don't think of but are very nice I include lighted wall light switches and the hair dryer mount in the bathroom has an amber night light. Our check in time was perhaps the fastest ever. I gave them my last name, handed them the credit card, and they already had the key packet ready. Less than a minute. About 30 minutes after we got in our room the front desk called, asking if our room was OK and did we need anything. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the breakfast (free I might add). The offerings were all breads and cereals, no egg or meat. There is an IHOP next door so we went there. If you need a hotel in Plano, I recommend this La Quinta.

I was there for a single overnight business say. Just like anyone would want for a business overnight, I had no surprises. Bedding was comfortable with no signs of wear. There was also two sets of pillows of different density - which really should be somewhat of a nobrainer when you think of it - everyone knows one pillow doesnt work for everybody. Rooms were quiet and desk staff helpful. The hotel is located in a what is generally a business district with mostly 8-5 offices. While the surface streets in the area are quiet, at peak time, they can get bottle necked with traffic. The breakfast was basic/conventional. Cereal, Yougurt, Juice, breads/pastry and a waffle maker. Nothing along the lines of eggs/bacon. I should add that the others in my business traveling group (a total of 8 of us) didn't have quite as a pleasant experience. One individual was unable to get to sleep until well after midnight because the TV was VERY LOUD in the room next to his but the desk staff refused to do anything other than just explain the person must be out and try to call the room to ask the individual to turn it down until about the third call when they finally visited the room and the person then turned off the TV. Two other individuals also said the occupants in the adjacent rooms were very noisy - there seemed to be some type of nursing/healthcare event in progress. Word of caution, maybe contact the reservation desk to see what other events are active prior to committing.

A fully digital loudspeaker family that stresses sensational sound in a uniform and minimalist fashion.
The BeoLab 12 loudspeaker comes in three variations: BeoLab 12-3, 12-2 and 12-1. Whatever your needs are, BeoLab 12 has a member to fit your home and family, both design and performance-wise. BeoLab 12 can be mounted on the wall or used with a floor stand for greater flexibility. The loudspeakers can be used to deliver astonishing surround sound or to ignite your home stereo system. Hear how the speakers give life to your Bang & Olufsen sound system or television as well as any third-party device.
The largest speaker in the family is BeoLab 12-3, a high-performing loudspeaker that includes Acoustic Lens Technology, a state-of-the-art mid-range speaker driver and two large woofers positioned at the back. BeoLab 12-2 is the second family member, two thirds the height of BeoLab 12-3, with one woofer at the back. BeoLab 12-1, the latest member of the BeoLab 12 family, includes a combined upper- and mid-range speaker driver unit as well as one woofer positioned at the back. The speaker front is made of fabric instead of anodised aluminium.
The BeoLab 12 family is ideal for surround setups, enabling you to mix the different family members for front and rear speakers, as well as to maintain a coherent design in the living room.
The flat form factor of all BeoLab 12 loudspeakers makes them the perfect companions for your wall-mounted flat screen TV. You also have the option of using a floor stand with any BeoLab 12, giving you countless opportunities for personalising your speaker setup.
The wave pattern creates a structure that is inconspicuous and sleek while improving the acoustic performance of the loudspeaker.
BeoLab 12 features a sculptural design that forms a reassuring wave pattern. The effect of this wave design is a flat-form loudspeaker that beholds powerful capabilities, maximizing every inch of the slim space. Call it the world's most high-performing optical illusion, because when viewed from the side, this commanding speaker appears even slimmer.
Hear how the superb acoustic performance of BeoLab 12 breathes new life into your favorite film or song. It elegantly stages the experience of listening, so new dimensions and layers reach your ears. Whether it is a Puccini opera, a Spaghetti western, or the sound of wind blowing, BeoLab 12 wall speaker evokes the perfect surround sound to enrich your experience, both acoustically and visually.
With the Acoustic Lens Technology handling the treble notes and helping disperse the sound waves evenly throughout the room, we maximise space in front of the loudspeaker with optimal sound, constant tonal balance, minimised floor and ceiling reflection, and a deeper sense of space and realism.
The woofers of BeoLab 12 are placed at the back of the speakers, using the wall to increase the already impressive bass performance. When placed away from the wall, a slider on the back of the speaker is set to "free position", triggering the digital sound engine to increase the bass level electronically.
With two BeoLab 12-3s around your television, paired with two BeoLab 12-2s or 12-1s in the rear of the room, you have the perfect surround sound system in a cohesive design language to breathe life into your entertainment. Whether it is a Puccini opera, an action-adventure film or the sound of wind blowing, BeoLab 12-3, 12-2 and 12-1 create an aural environment founded on power and depth.

Los Angeles police said Saturday that they would reopen an investigation into the firing of Christopher Jordan Dorner, a former cop accused of killing three people as part of a revenge plot targeting law enforcement officers.
Dorner wrote a manifesto declaring war on police in retaliation for being fired from his job as an LAPD officer and losing an appeal to be reinstated. He promised to bring "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" to officers and their families, calling it the "last resort" to clear his name and strike back at a department that he says mistreated him.
"I do this not to appease a murderer. I do it to reassure the public that their police department is transparent and fair in all the things we do," Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said in a statement.
He said police would also look into any allegations made in the manifesto.
Beck addressed what he described as the "ghosts of the LAPD's past," and said that one of his biggest worries was that those ghosts would be "resurrected by Dorner's allegations of racism."
"As hard as it has been to change the culture of the Los Angeles Police Department, it has been even more difficult to win and maintain the support of the public. As much as I value our successes in reducing crime, I value even more our gains in public confidence," he said.
The development came as police continued their search for Dorner, 33, in snowbound mountains. Bundled up in winter gear, teams returned to the pine forests and trails surrounding Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains.
As the dragnet entered its third day, questions continued Saturday about whether Dorner was still in the area, but police in California, Nevada and Arizona remained on alert.
Scouring the terrain by land and air, police were using helicopters, snowcats and armored personnel carriers with snow chains. The search resumed after overnight temperatures dipped into the teens.
Officers trudged through knee-high snow with rifles at the ready. Patrols again visited homes Saturday in Big Bear Lake, knocking on doors and peeking into windows. They had checked on the community's 400 homes Thursday.
"I don't think he is up here, to be quite honest with you, in this quite brutal weather," resident Justin Owen said. He was shoveling snow out of his driveway when a police team asked him if he had seen suspicious activity.
No, he told them.
Unlike his son, father Ed Owen believed Dorner could be hiding in any of the houses that serve as second residences in the mountains and are often vacant, frequently the case where families have owned the property for decades and lose interest in it, he said.
"I would guess the occupancy rate on my block is just 10%," Ed Owen told CNN. "If you really wanted to scout things out, you probably could find a home that is never occupied and hide in there."
Not far from the manhunt, skiers and snowboarders enjoyed an ideal day for winter recreation in the resort community.
"The possibility exists that he is here, somewhere in the forest, so we're going to keep looking ... until we determine that he's not here," said Cindy Bachman, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
Calamitous dragnet
Los Angeles police mistakenly shot and wounded two persons Thursday in Torrance as they drove a blue pickup truck resembling Dorner's vehicle. Torrance police also fired upon another blue pickup the same day, but no one was injured in that incident, a law enforcement source said.
The Los Angeles officers involved in the wounding of innocent civilians were put on paid administrative leave, police spokeswoman Rosario Herrera said Saturday. A day earlier, the LAPD had said the officers weren't put on such leave.
Unconfirmed sightings of the 270-pound, 6-foot Dorner have been reported as far away as Las Vegas and the California-Mexico border, according to reports.
LAPD spokesman Andrew Smith urged Dorner to turn himself in.
"That would be the best resolution for this whole thing right now," he said. "No one else has to be shot. No one else has to be injured. No one else has to die. He can turn himself in anywhere, and he'll be taken into custody, and he'll be able to get his side of the story out."
Dorner, who also served in the Navy, is suspected of killing two people in Irvine, California, on Sunday and shooting Thursday at three Los Angeles-area police officers, one of whom later died.
One of the victims of the Irvine killings, Monica Quan, was the daughter of the retired police officer who represented Dorner in his efforts to get his job back, police said.
According to a criminal complaint, someone claiming to be Dorner called the retired officer after the killing, telling him he "should have done a better job of protecting his daughter."

Senate panel given access to Benghazi emails
Emails associated with development of talking points on attack
Senate Intelligence Committee members will have access Tuesday to the emails associated with the development of the intelligence community's talking points on the attack at the U.S. mission in Benghazi, a committee aide said.
The Obama administration will provide the emails for members and some committee staff to read, take notes and ask questions in the committee's classified hearing room, the aide said. Members will not get copies of the documents.
Republican senators have threatened to hold up the nomination of John Brennan to be the next CIA director until they receive emails exchanged between the White House and the CIA concerning the public talking points used by U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice for her appearances on Sunday talk shows the weekend after the September attack.
The CIA's original draft of those talking points linked people associated with al-Qaida to the attack, which killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans. But the final version changed al-Qaida to extremists. Some Republicans have accused the administration of deliberately downplaying the attack, which occurred less than two months before the presidential election.
The lawmakers have been unsatisfied with what they say is conflicting information from the administration about who was responsible for the change in the talking points, even though the CIA eventually said it changed them during interagency discussions to protect classified information and for legal reasons.
Two of the lawmakers who have demanded the emails, Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain, are not members of the Intelligence Committee. It is unclear if arrangements will be made for them to have access to the communications.

With its cartoon-like skeleton and blood-red muscles on display, the horse parading around the race track has all the appearances of a very late Halloween prank.
Resembling an equine beast turned inside-out, the otherworldly creature daubed in brightly-colored paint completes a mini obstacle course, drawing excited murmurings from the gathered crowd.
It's not a ghoulish apparition, but a living piece of art, used to vividly show the inner workings of our four-legged friends.
Equine massage therapist Gillian Higgins spent two years painting all 11 anatomical systems on horses -- from the skeletal, to the digestive, muscular, respiratory and reproductive -- as part of an innovative teaching aid.
The animals, decorated in washable, hypoallergenic paint, are then displayed at races and equine training events across Britain.
"Anatomy can be quite dry and difficult to remember," said Higgins, manager of equine educational organization Horses Inside Out, based in Nottingham, England.
"But if you see a horse moving and jumping around with a skeleton painted on the side, it really brings it to life.
"It's not just about knowing the names of the bones, it's about understanding exactly what they do."
Higgins first started painting horses six years ago, to help equine massage students memorize the animal's 700 muscles.
Today, her carefully decorated horses appear at veterinary classes, industry lectures and racing competitions.
"It's an interesting and easy to understand way of learning the horse's anatomy," Higgins said. "A lot of people have told me it's like putting the pieces of a puzzle together."
It takes around four hours to paint a horse, and Higgins usually uses 15-year-old thoroughbred Freddie Fox. With his gray coloring and placid temperament, Freddie is an ideal model.
"My horses have been painted hundreds of times and they've never reacted. In fact, they quite like the attention," Higgins said.
"They can mooch around in the stable doing whatever they'd normally do while I paint them. They find the brush strokes calming."
Once seen as a superfluous luxury, equine massage is now standard treatment for many professional thoroughbreds, with a growing number of private owners also treating their beloved horses to a rub down.
And with racing spelling big business in the UK -- superstar colt Frankel won almost £3 million ($4 million) in prize money before retiring this year -- owners will be hoping it also gives them that competitive edge.
"If you'd spoken about equine massage 20 years ago, many people would have said 'What's the point of that?' " therapist Nicole Rossa told CNN. "But it's become very popular, particularly in the last 10 years."
Sessions usually run from 30 minutes to one hour, costing around £25-£40 ($40-$64), according to Britain's Equine Massage Association.
"Regular massage helps pick up problems early. For example, a sore back may be treated by changing how the jockey is riding in the saddle," Rossa added.
"Massage may also help to calm them down -- some horses get anxious before a competition or tense after a long journey."
There are now just over 80 equine masseurs registered in Britain, with therapists required to first complete a massage course for humans before treating horses.
Once in the profession it's no easy ride, as each therapist requires permission from a vet before starting work.
As an equine masseur, it's essential to know the inner workings of an animal unable to vocalize what it is feeling -- making the anatomy paintings an important point of reference.
But the fine art of painting horses isn't all science based -- Rossa also decorates thoroughbreds purely for aesthetic value.
