BREAKING NEWS: House Approves Budget Agreement, 332-94
Hearing on Hurricane Sandy (right-click to copy direct link)
Washington, DC Tuesday, December 4, 2012
The full House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hears from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate about his organization's preparations for Hurricane Sandy and FEMA's response to states as they continue to recover from the storm.
Lawmakers expressed several concerns to Administrator Fugate, including the need to review how lower income neighborhoods and the elderly received assistance following the late October hurricane. Additionally, the Committee asked him to detail any weaknesses before and after the storm hit the nation's East coast. "This is not going to be a quick recovery," said Mr. Fugate while touring damages in Connecticut. He stated that FEMA will continue to aid distressed states. "We're going to be here awhile," he said when speaking to state officials. Senior Advisors from Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Deputy Commanding General for the Army Corps of Engineers along with several state emergency officials also testify on national and state response efforts.

Comments about Katavi Thong:
Living in Hawaii I wear sandals basically 24/7, and I have tried them all. My goal is to find a sandal that lasts as long as possible, and this one comes close. However, the glue always seems to fail and the sole starts peeling off well before the rest of the shoe is wearing out. Fortunately customer service seems willing to remedy the situation, so far.

Comments about Katavi Thong:
This is my second pair and the only reason that I give it another try is that the first pair was extremely comfortable. BUT, the quality control is extremely lacking. The soles delaminated from my first pair within 3 months. I glued them back on twice (shoe goo) but it never seems to last. I bought this pair hoping the poor quality of the first pair was a fluke. If this pair falls apart within a few months then I'm done with Teva. They're comfortable sandals, but they cost way too much to replace every 3-4 months.

Flip flops get stinky. Can the Katavi Thong be machine washed in cold water and air dried?Asked on 6/30/2013 by LadyC from Plano, TX1 answer
We recommend hand washing using an antibacterial soap. Using a bristled brush, scrub the topsole from heel to toe under water pressure to wash away any dirt that may be in the grooves. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry out of direct sunlight. We do not recommend using a washing machine as this is damaging to the components.Answered on 7/1/2013 by Teva Product Specialist

John Garlock is 6 and 10pm news anchor with KTVO.
KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- The City of Kirksville is getting close to having its 2013 budget all wrapped up by Christmas.
At Monday night's Kirksville City Council meeting, members unanimously approved the first reading of the nearly $33.3 million budget following a brief public hearing.
No citizens spoke during that hearing.
The budgeting process started back in August, and city officials have been going over more than 1,000 city accounts since then.
The 2013 budget contains some good news for everyone who works for the City of Kirksville.
"City employees will receive a 2.5 percent cost-of-living increase," said Katie Myers, Kirksville finance director. "They did not get one in the year 2011 so it is getting them back to where they would have been if they had gotten that cost-of-living increase."
That increase is set to go into effect January 1, 2013.
At its December 17th meeting, the council has to vote one more time to approve the city budget for 2013.
Kirksville's fiscal year is the same as the calendar year.

Adultery and Abuse, Front and Center
I was forwarded a juicy e-mail late last night from a tipster, but didn't have time to blog about it and I woke up to find that Pogie at Intelligent Discontent had scooped me. Check his post out. The e-mail contains a 30 second TV spot, by Montana Conservative Families, contrasting Rick Hill and Ken Miller on…..family values.
Miller is shown with his family, described as a Jesus-loving devoted husband, a "John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere" type of guy, if you will.
We are then shown Rick Hill's mug, and are told that he is an adulterer. A photo of a cocktail waitress, in revealing dress, is then shown, the face blurred out, along with headlines from when Rick Hill's first wife went public with his infidelity during his the 1998 Congressional campaign (said infidelity having been consummated with a cocktail waitress).
The narrator tells an abbreviated story of how Hill was stepping out on his wife at "a motel bar," which we know to be none other than the world famous Sip 'N Dip lounge in Great Falls (soon to have its own reality show, by the way.)
One might conclude, as Pogie does, that Ken Miller is behind this ad, though there is nothing in the ad to confirm this. What we do know is that the apparent ring leader of Montana Conservative Families, a woman named Nancy Davis, has sent several emails out in the past, some bashing moderate Republicans and specifically Rick Hill for not having "social conservative values."
Ken Miller has recently attacked Hill directly in public, in a very personal way–making fun of Hill for spending most of his time in Palm Springs, California at his second home–but has never alluded to his extramarital past. Only the Stapleton campaign has crossed that line, with Bob Keenan, Stapleton's number two, suggesting that Hill's "skeletons" would ultimately take him down.
The timing of this video is also interesting if you consider the simliarities to what occurred in the Democratic Primary in 2006 between John Morrison and Jon Tester.
A month or so before election day during the Tester-Morrison face-off, Lee Newspapers had a big front-page expose about Morrison's extramarital affair. He had a relationship with a woman many years earlier, but when he became State Auditor, his office ended up investigating her new husband for securities fraud. This raised a question about whether Morrison should have recused himself from the investigation.
But before the story hit the paper in 2006, an effective whisper campaign was conducted against Morrison, with letters and e-mails making the rounds among Democrats, giving the story a certain ripeness. We will see if this Ken Miller-Rick Hill business follows the same trajectory.

Even though excellence in athletics has long been a part of the St. John's University experience, it wasn't until the 1974-75 academic year that women student-athletes had the opportunity to compete in a manner similar to that enjoyed by their male counterparts. It was during that historic year that St. John's women began competing at the varsity level.
Photo gallery
The Golf and Tennis Classic, held at the North Hempstead Country Club on Long Island to support women's athletic programs at the University, honored former women's athletes:Nan Doherty '78C Women's SwimmingKathleen Meehan '75Ed, '79GEd Women's BasketballBarbara Perry '76NDC Women's TennisJoan Sheridan La Barge '78SVC Women's Fencing The day offered guests a chance to enjoy 18 holes of golf or receive tennis or golf instruction from current members of the women's teams. The gathering concluded with a cocktail reception and dinner, during which each honoree was presented with a special commemorative award."Receiving this award is a great honor for each of us," said Ms. Sheridan La Barge. "Being recognized by St. John's is important, but what's equally important is that, as students, each of us was given an opportunity to be part of a varsity women's athletic team. Women's sports have come a long way, and I'm so proud that I was able to play a part in that process at St. John's." Whether former players or fans, guests were grateful for the opportunity to do what they could to ensure that women's athletics would not only continue to thrive at the University, but would achieve even greater success in the future. "I love firsts, and this is a first," noted dinner sponsor and Master of Ceremonies Catherine Robertson Camera '65CBA. "I'm delighted to be involved in any way I can, especially for this inaugural event for Women's Golf and Tennis...it's very exciting. I wasn't personally involved in sports when I was a student at St. John's, but my college sweetheart, who later became my husband, was on the baseball team, so I was sort of involved with athletics but didn't actually play. My hat is off to every woman who was ever able to play sports at the collegiate level."National Basketball Association Hall of Fame Inductee and former St. John's star Chris Mullin '98CBA was a special guest at the event. He was pleased with the status of women's athletics today, noting the increased opportunities for female athletes to advance from the collegiate to the professional level. "I think the changes in women's sports are great," he said. "Athletics has always been a vehicle to teach us the lessons of life. It's a great way to learn, especially if you have a great passion for a sport. Women's athletics on the collegiate level is very different today than it's ever been. There are professional leagues now for women athletes to aspire to play in, and that's a real bonus for the women who are playing college sports today. I had an opportunity to play for a great coach and to play in front of my family and friends. It's nice to know that other student-athletes, both men and women, will have the same great experience that I had."When Kitty Prager '78C came to St. John's as an English major, she began her years as a student-athlete on the women's tennis team. Sports had always been an important part of her life, and she was grateful for the opportunity to play in college, even at the club level. Ultimately participating at the varsity level was a dream come true for her and her teammates. "I had very many happy years at St. John's," she recalled, "and I participated in the first season of varsity sports at the University. It was a very exciting time as we transitioned from a club to a varsity sport. The students who were on the team with me were all great, and we had a wonderful team spirit. St. John's did such a great job with us. I look at my classmates and my teammates, and they all still live the values and the spirit that we learned at St. John's, even back then. Those values still carry us through, and I suspect that they always will."

MIB Smithy is an application for SNMP and COPS developers, MIB and PIB designers, and Internet-draft authors. It provides a GUI-based environment for designing, editing, and compiling MIB and PIB modules according to the SMIv1, SMIv2, and COPS-PR-SPPI standards. It accelerates the development process by providing an easy-to-use GUI-based environment for developing the specifications without the syntax and formatting concerns of editing the modules by hand. It includes a number of built-in basic SNMP management tools, XML support, and (with MIB Smithy Professional) support for custom compiler output formats.
white_dune is a graphical VRML97/X3DV editor, simple NURBS/Superformula 3D modeller, animation tool, and VRML97/X3DV commandline compiler in development.

"The PlayStation 4 and Xbox '720′ will arrive in 2011 or 2012, we think," said Yerli. "But this is just our estimate – we don't know, and even if Microsoft and Sony told us, I couldn't say because it would be under NDA.
"But we think in three to four years' time, although there are good reasons why it should be 2010 already…but we'll see."

"Arms race" makes sequel development tougher, says Capps
Speaking in his GCDC keynote today, Epic boss Mike Capps has said simple tit-for-tat feature comparison makes his life more difficult, especially when developing sequels.
"Making a sequel to a game is always tougher – especially given the arms race we're seeing in videogames development," he said.
"Games do not compete in fun experiences, they compete in the number of weapons, and unfortunately it's easy for someone to compare this game to that game, 'this game has 10 multiplayer levels but this one has 29. So clearly this game must be better'."
Capps added: "If you can imagine if movies competed in this way, 'Well sure Schindler's List was good but I know this three and a half hour long movie – think of the value you're getting for your ten dollars'. It doesn't work that way and unfortunately we still find ourselves competing this way… we have to compete in quality not size."

Epic president Mike Capps will keynote GCDC this year, say this GI story, with the speech apparently focusing on Gear 2 development.
"Epic set the technological bar for next-generation games with the original Gears of War, so we knew we had our work cut for us with Gears of War 2," said Capps.
"Epic Games is a major force in the games industry today, from their million-selling franchises Unreal, and Gears of War, to their engine technology which is licensed by hundreds of developers worldwide," said Frank Sliwka, GCDC project director.

Leipzig plans Games Convention for 2009
Games Convention owner Leipziger Messe has confirmed today that the show is still scheduled to happen in Leipzig in 2009. The news comes in the wake of an joint announcement from the BIU [Germany's answer to ELSPA or ESA - Ed] and Koelnmesse that a new event, GAMESCom, is to be held in Cologne in September next year.
It had been thought that the Games Convention IP may have been licensed to the new showground for a sizeable sum, but in essence the BIU hung Leipziger Messe out to dry, dragging Germany's main show to a new location and refusing to take any tie of the Games Convention brand with it. On the surface, this leaves Leipziger Messe, owner of the biggest games show in the world, with nothing after building up an annual audience of almost 200,000.
Leipziger Messe, obviously, isn't entirely pleased about the events of the last 24 hours, saying it is disappointed with the decision and today telling Eurogamer.de that it doesn't believe the BIU understands the concept of Games Convention or its sister trade event GCDC.
Games Convention 2009 is, therefore, on. Whether or not the BIU has just made the biggest booboo in European gaming history remains to be seen.

Confirmed: Games Convention moved to Cologne, renamed GAMESCom
Breaking news from the Leipzig press conference. Leipziger Messe has just confirmed that Games Convention as we know it is no more, and that the event has been moved to Cologne for 2009. Its new name is GAMESCom.
Update: Eurogamer.de's just published this. The new show is being moved from August to September. Better travel links and 80,000 hotel places in the Cologne area are being mooted as the main reasons for the move. Both the German TV station RTL and the 2009 World Cyber Games are based in Cologne. The organisers have said the new show will work closely with both.

Games Convention press conference 10am Monday, confusion over new name
Following heavy speculation that Games Convention was to move to Cologne from Leipzig, German newspaper the FAZ has reported that the move is in fact correct, and that the new name for the show is Games Con.
"That report's not official," said a senior German source. "FAZ seems to know something, the local paper in Leipzig seems to know something. One is saying it's called Games Con, another is saying it's called Games Com. I've seen reports saying it's called Games.com. Isn't Games.com owned by AOL? It's bullshit. We'll know for certain what's going on at the press conference on Monday morning."
Leipziger Messe has confirmed that a press conference will be held in Leipzig on Monday at 10am CET.
Games Convention as an IP is owned by Leipziger Messe. FAZ had previously reported that the show was to be moved from Leipzig to Cologne for its 2009 show, and would likely have to have its name changed for legal reasons. Another option for the move, said the report, was for the Messe to license the IP to a new events company in Cologne for €450,000 for three years.
We'll know on Monday, German games show fans.

Senior German source "99 percent sure" Games Convention move is true
A senior German industry source has told VG247 that he is "99 percent sure" that today's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) speculation report that 2009′s Games Convention will be held in Cologne is correct.
The story said that Games Convention is to move to Cologne next year, but may undergo a name change. It also said that there is talk of Leipziger Messe, the owner of the Games Convention IP, licensing the property to another firm for €450,000 for three years.
"I'm 99 percent sure it's true," said the source. "It's the only way to make it truly international, because of flight connections, and so on. There's Cologne airport, Bonn airport and Düsseldorf is next door. Then you have the big boys, EA and Ubisoft, in Cologne and Düsseldorf. It all makes sense."
He went on, explaining that the FAZ is a highly regarded publication.
"The FAZ is one of the two most respected newspapers in Germany, and those details are pretty specific, to be honest," he said. "It's not a rumour newspaper. It's a paper mainly for the financial community, based in Frankfurt, so I don't expect them to write something they just heard somewhere."
Talk of Games Convention moving from Leipzig is years old, mainly due to poor flight connections to the east German town and a lack of hotels close to the Messe. The source continued, saying that rumoured targets of doubling the show's attendance could never be achieved in Leipzig.
"There have been so many rumours in the past," he said. "To be fair, the Bundesverband Interaktive Unterhaltungssoftware [BIU, the German equivalent of ESA or ELSPA - Ed] is in control of it, but no one really mentions it, and EA is in Cologne. They might be the driving force behind it.
"There was talk of a target of an attendance of 400,000 people for Games Convention, and this can only be achieved in [the German state of] Nordrhein-Westfalen. So it can only be in Cologne, Essen, or wherever. It can't be anywhere else, because that's the state with the strongest population. They have 19 million people there."
If the move is a reality, said the source, you're going to know about it sooner rather than later.
"I don't think there's any way to confirm this further," he said. "No one will comment on it. They'll have to tell everyone soon if they are going to move it for 2009. It's the biggest games show in the world, and it's already February 2008."
Rumour is now circulating that next week's GDC may see an announcement regarding the location of next year's show. This year's Games Convention will be held as usual in Leipzig, running from August 20-24.

Heavy rumour links Games Convention with Cologne move for 2009
A move for Games Convention has been rumoured for at least the last three years, but the story entered a far more convincing stage today as it hit Germany's mainstream press.
According to this report in German financial paper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the show is to be moved from Leipzig in east Germany to Cologne in the west next year.
The report says that €450,000 in licensing may be paid to Leipziger Messe, the owner of the Games Convention brand, but that the show itself may also undergo a name change.
Games Convention is the largest games show in the world, attracting almost 200,000 visitors in 2007.
We'll have more on this later today.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by eg7567x Very good compression shirt
I ordered 4 of these compression shirts in different colors. They fit great and are comfortable. Make sure you measure your chest size before you order because they are true to size.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by J-Bone Great purchase.
I really love Adidas, and mainly the tech gear. I wish there was more powerweb sleeveless shirts made with more color options. All black/ black and white / black and red. I'd buy all of them. Love to workout in them. I own all the styles for this shirt with previous color specs.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Everfam Good Compression Top
This top is a good top. The quality is very good and it looks great. My only negative is that it is a bit too long. I am 5' 11 and the bottom tends to roll up and become bulky. If it was about 2 inches shorter it would be a 5 star.
