OTTAWA, Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Claude Mongeau, president and chief executive officer of CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI), said today Canadian railways have a solid record of improving their overall safety performance and remain committed to achieving further safety gains.
Mongeau, speaking to The Canadian Chamber of Commerce's International Trade Day, said: "The devastating rail accident in Lac-Mégantic, Que., last summer remains a sobering reminder that safety must be an absolute priority to prevent accidents from harming communities and the environment.
"Rail safety is understandably under intense scrutiny as a result of the Lac-Mégantic accident. But as we engage in a review of what the rail industry can do to further improve safety, we should not lose track of the industry's strong safety record and the significant improvement trends achieved in recent years. The fact is that railways' mainline accident rate per million train miles declined by more than 40 per cent between 2001 and 2012 as a result of sizable investments in rail infrastructure, improved safety processes and a continuing focus on employee training and safety awareness.
"Another fact to keep in mind is that railways move hazardous materials with a high level of safety. A full 99.997 per cent of rail movements of dangerous goods - many of which are essential to the North American economy and communities across the continent -- arrive at their destination without a release caused by an accident."
Mongeau said CN and the rail industry are responding proactively to the Lac-Mégantic accident by taking a comprehensive view on ways to achieve further safety improvements. Rail industry partners are also taking steps to ensure safe loading and unloading procedures, properly identify dangerous goods, and look at ways to improve tank car safety, he said.
Mongeau said CN understands that communities have the right to know more about the types of commodities moving their midst. "CN already works closely with communities by helping them prepare for and to respond to a possible dangerous goods transportation incident.
"But we are doing more. We recently launched a comprehensive outreach program along our network to inform emergency responders and civic officials about the types of commodities that are moving through their communities and the relevance of those commodities to local economies. Our goal is to be transparent and underscore our commitment to provide emergency training and support communities in the event of a rail accident."
Mongeau said regulators can also play a lead role in determining the future course of rail safety. "The rail industry is working closely with all regulators. As we move forward in our review, I believe a fact-based, balanced and consultative approach to any proposed regulatory changes will be vital to make sure we make sustainable progress.
"CN's commitment to safety is unwavering, and we're dedicated to working with all stakeholders who have an interest in making what already is a solid rail safety record even stronger."
CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) is a true backbone of the economy, transporting approximately C$250 billion worth of goods annually for a wide range of business sectors, ranging from resource products to manufactured products to consumer goods, across a rail network spanning Canada and mid-America. CN - Canadian National Railway Company, along with its operating railway subsidiaries -- serves the cities and ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert, B.C., Montreal, Halifax, New Orleans, and Mobile, Ala., and the metropolitan areas of Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary, Chicago, Memphis, Detroit, Duluth, Minn./Superior, Wis., and Jackson, Miss., with connections to all points in North America.

Saturday, Dec 711:36 AMWhen top-line growth is scarce, buy those with something to sell: Barron's
- "The S&P 500 index is up 27% this year, but its underlying revenue increased just 2.9% during the third quarter," Jack Hough writes, adding that if you want real top-line growth (i.e. not derived from acquisitions and not simply the product of a bounce off "depressed levels") you have to pay 30, 50, or even 100 times earnings.
- Thankfully, "fast growth isn't the only path to handsome stock returns," Hough continues, before recommending investors look to "reasonably priced companies with plenty to sell."
- Making the list are: General Electric (GE), Dow Chemical (DOW), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B), and Time Warner (TWX).

Thursday, Dec 54:03 PMBrazilian port manufacturing facility still on the table for GE
- Reinaldo Garcia, General Electric's (GE -0.7%) Latin America chief, has suggested the company will go ahead with a planned manufacturing project at the Acu Superport near Rio, WSJ says.
- The status of the project was unclear after Eike Batista unloaded his stake in LLX Logistica, which was building the port itself.
- "The geographic location of the port is still very interesting; it's near where the oil reserves are," Garcia says.
- Ideally, GE would manufacture products at the port that would synch well with the needs of the environment, including "equipment for the oil and gas industry and for the marine industry."

Sweet and tangy sugared cranberries make a surprising addition to candy bowls, your favorite apple pie recipe, cheesecake or baked brie.
Hearty wild rice and sweet and tangy cherries star in this deliciously satisfying main-course salad.
This recipe combines the tangy flavor of quick-pickled spinach with ground pork and is served over rice. The original version would use water spinach, but we substituted more widely available baby spinach.
Filling and satisfying, these bars are good food on the go. Keep them in your desk drawer as an alternative to the temptations of the snack machine. Many of the ingredients in these bars are available in the bulk department, making this recipe a smart budget choice...
This deliciously moist roasted turkey is surprising in its ease of preparation. Exactly what you remember from Thanksgiving dinners of old only better.
Though it's equally delicious on its own, try topping squares of this spiced cake with dollops of applesauce or almond butter. As a breakfast cake, it's great served alongside scrambled eggs or tofu with bacon or tempeh sausage.
Here's a healthy soup based on a Mardi Gras favorite in which traditional red kidney beans and Cajun flavors meld with hearty red rice and dark, leafy greens. Don't forget hot sauce for the table!
Smoky almonds and pimenton (Spanish smoked paprika) are a particularly good match for sweet potatoes.
As an alternative to serving this bright, tart condiment with roasted turkey or chicken, stir a spoonful of it into a cup of yogurt or a tall smoothie for breakfast.
You control the flavor and spice in these simple baked beans by choosing your favorite bottled barbecue sauce. Canned pinto beans (navy or great northern work well too) make these a breeze to prepare.
Sautéed shrimp with a side of couscous and a baby field greens salad provide a lovely dinner. Combine any leftover with red peppers, arugula and Parmesan for a hearty salad the following day. Preparation time is minimal with spectacular results.
While unusual for many North Americans, miso soup often serves as a power breakfast in Japan. Miso is a high-protein fermented soy product with a salty flavor that can be very health-promoting. We call for aged, unpasteurized barley miso.
The nutty sweetness of butternut squash combined with sautéed shallots and almond butter makes a delicious and surprising topping for crostini. For a festive touch, top with toasted almonds. Substitute other winter squash, if you like.
Serve with a bowl of steamed edamame for a finger food that's nutritious and fun.
Thanks to Cindy in Annapolis, Maryland, for sending us her favorite childhood recipe. Keep these ingredients on hand and you will be able to create an easy soup full of savory potatoes, sausage and green beans. The bay leaves add a nice depth of flavor.
In this kid-friendly recipe, egg salad can be used instead of hummus, if you like.
The marinade for this flavorful chicken comes together quickly in a blender or processor. While the chicken marinates, you have time to make salads and other accompaniments for the meal. You'll want to make this no-fuss dish a regular feature at your summer...

Quick Quotes: NeverDead is not as "silly" as it appears on the surface
"I understand people may think it is a silly game and even though we put serious work into gameplay too it is difficult to communicate that. Bryce [the main character] doesn't need to evade or avoid [attacks]. If you get shot, it's OK. It's also hard to show this to the audience because it would change the way they play the game. It's complicated just like trying to explain the story. It might be my fault, I'm not sure, but I'll tell you honestly I tried to make the E3 trailer show Bryce's true personality. I'm not sure if [it was] a success, but in the middle of the story it becomes more serious. He comes back to his young self, in his mind. NeverDead, when you look at it, is a story of vengeance. I need to make more effort to communicate this – I want people to know it's a serious game with a guy who has a lot of bad luck." – NeverDead director Shinta Nojiri to Siliconera.

Check out 8-minutes of NeverDead footage
Eight minutes of gameplay footage from NeverDead has been posted, and it shows the game's hero, Bryce Boltzmann, doing what he does best: killing nasties. Players will use Bryce's immortality, thus the NeverDead moniker, as they fight demons in various ways – even by using body parts as weapons. The Shinta Nojiri and Rebellion-developed titles is expected for a winter release in Japan on PS3 and Xbox 360. No western date just yet. Thanks, Kotaku.

Last night, the Gowhere Hip Hop team was rolling deep at Reggie's Rock Club for the Chiddy Bang concert - literally, we had two cars full of people.
Anyway, we had our official second and might I say, interesting interview with Xaphoon Jones and Chiddy where we talked music among other things including their debut album, Breakfast and what featured artists we can expect to hear, their most memorable time in the studio, which was getting high with an artist that you would never think they would be able to do that with, their upcoming mixtape, Grab A Plate, and we even got a sneak preview! We closed off the discussion of Grab A Plate, and talked about why they always have food analogies. The reasoning behind it is deep and inspiring.
After talks about music - we went in-depth about a little bet they have going on with their manager and Xaphoon's "British Accent," as well as how they feel about being selected as artist of the month on ESPN - in which their song "Fourth Quarter" was used as the replay for Blake Griffin's monster dunk on Kendrick Perkins.
Special thanks to Reggie's, Ruben, Chiddy Bang and their management for allowing us to take part in this event - as well as Toni Brooks for the attire you seen in this interview.

Player Profile: Wade Miley
Bryce Harper won the NL Rookie of the Year Award as pretty much everyone predicted he would, but his winning margin was just seven points over Wade Miley of the Diamondbacks. So let's look into the player that was deemed the best rookie pitcher in the Senior Circuit.
You know me, I usually don't put much stock into win-loss records because there is so much more that plays into that result than a hurlers performance, but that doesn't mean I'm unimpressed by a rookie who wins 16 games against 11 loses. Miley didn't exactly kill it with 18 quality starts in 29 starts, but his 62 percent quality start mark was the same as Yu Darvish and C.J. Wilson. Miley also tossed 194.2 innings meaning he was just one start from 200 innings, and in today's game that's an impressive mark for a rookie hurler.
One of the reasons for his success was that he kept the runs under control as evidenced by his solid 3.33 ERA. I'm going to suggest that you shouldn't expect a repeat of that number in 2013. I'm not here to say you should expect it to go up by a full run or anything, but a rise of half a run is possible, maybe probable, given his overall skill set. We'll get into that as we go along, but consider these two data points. (1) His xFIP for 2012 was 3.75. (2) His SIERA was 3.84. Those two measures suggest that his ERA should have been a half run higher than it was last year, thereby adding some support to my contention that his ERA will likely go up in 2013.
Miley struck out 6.66 batters per nine innings. Before you go searching for your cross to ward off the devil, let's just comment on the number itself. It's not a great number, at least not a dominating one. Remember, strikeouts are more abundant than ever before in this great game of ours. The result is that the big league average K-rate last season was 7.56 meaning that Miley was a basically a batter below league average in this measure. Given how fond I am of the strikeout, that concerns me when we get around to breaking down Miley's fantasy value. The number also isn't very likely to go up much as his career minor league number was 6.99.
Miley was able to combat this less than advantageous K-rate very well with a special 1.71 walk per nine mark. That's an amazing amount of control for any hurler, let alone a rookie. The result was a 3.89 K/BB ratio, another excellent mark that was 10th best in baseball among pitchers who tossed 162 innings. Putting a downer on the party, I seem to do that a lot don't I?, is the fact that during his minor league career Miley's K/BB ratio was 2.23. It's not reasonable to expect a guy who is basically average in that category for four years to all of a sudden become elite overnight. Hence, the safe money is on that number receding in the 2013 in the form of additional walks (another reason to worry about his ERA staying so low).
Since I'm downing Miley here, let me continue that theme in an unlikely place. Miley was great with RISP last season holding batters to a .222 average and .552 OPSA. Those are elite numbers. Does he have an innate ability to "bear down" and get batters out when the pressure is at it's highest? Possibly, but it's still tough to say that Miley will be able to repeat that success in 2013 (with the bases empty last year batters hit .260 with a .663 OPSA).
Miley was also fortunate in the BABIP column. His .293 mark is right on the league average so there is nothing off there, but it is a low number for a guy who surrendered a 23 percent line drive rate. I would also posit that his 6.9 HR/F ratio is a bit low. The 8.2 mark he owns for his career seems like a more likely resting place for that number to be in 2013.
So Miley is a must avoid in 2013 then? I wouldn't go that far. What I would say is the following. Wins and loses are always random. Miley could pitch exactly the same in 2013 and his record could be 12 and 14. It's just how that goes. Second, the preponderance of the evidence suggests that his ERA will go up in 2013. Ditto for his WHIP considering he walked fewer batters in '12 than he had at any point in his pro career. Given that his strikeout rate isn't anything to look at, Miley is unlikely to fully repeat his value in the coming campaign. All of that means that Miley is a solid 4/5 starter type in mixed leagues so make sure you don't be seduced by the effectiveness he had as a rookie and draft him earlier than that.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- It's a disease that affects 700,000 Americans and many have never heard of it before being diagnosed.
The little known autoimmune disease, ulcerative colitis, is a chronic disease of the large intestine.
One Colorado Springs man has been living with it for 15 years and wants to raise awareness and acceptance.
Christopher Arthur, now 34 years-old, enjoys an active life with his family. But 15 years ago he thought that life would never be possible.
"I had a lot of pain and other symptoms which at 19 years-old as a healthy individual were really scary," Arthur said.
Arthur went through several tests and was eventually diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
"My disease was manageable until my late 20s at which point I had a case of ulcerative colitis that wasn't manageable anymore," he said.
Arthur ended up in the hospital after losing more than 40 pounds.
"It's hard to keep nourished, hydrated and like I said it's just difficult to function as a normal person. You can't leave the house, you need to use the bathroom every possible place," Arthur said.
As a young adult he struggled to cope with his symptoms.
"These type of things are very difficult for anybody to deal with especially a younger individual," Arthur said.
Now he wants to share his story to raise awareness and hope for others.
"So many people live with these symptoms and are embarrassed by them and don't know exactly what it is or what treatment to seek and that's why it's important, especially younger people, people that appear healthy like myself, to get out and talk to other people that are affected by it," Arthur said.
Arthur's last flare-up occurred a little over a year ago and landed him in the hospital again. But this time he was given a new drug, Remicade.
"Within a number of days of being on Remicade I was drastically better. It's amazing how quickly your health can improve when you're treated with the appropriate drug," Arthur said.
His journey with ulcerative colitis has been draining both physically and emotionally but Arthur said it has taught him to appreciate the small things that many people take for granted.
"In the back of your head there's always that thought that at some point I'll relapse, at some point the drugs may stop working, so you definitely do take every day and cherish it."
There is currently no cure for ulcerative colitis and no known cause.

The city of Big Bear Lake is an Alpine-like year-round recreation area with a full time population of about 6,000; however, on a good winter weekend, the population can swell to 100,000 or more. It is located at about 7,000 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains northeast of Los Angeles. It is a two and one-half hour drive from the Los Angeles International Airport, and a comfortable three-hour drive from San Diego, Santa Barbara, Las Vegas, and Palm Springs. The Big Bear Valley is known for its excellent day and night skiing, miles of hiking trails, mountain biking, horseback riding, gold-mining-boom-town history, fishing, boating, pristine air, and sparkling lake.
The lake is approximately eight miles long and one mile wide. This fresh water lake has a maximum depth of 72 feet with 23 miles of shoreline. For folks who enjoy fishing in the summer, there are lots of trout, bass, catfish, bluegill, and crappie. For non-fishermen, there is jet skiing, water skiing, swimming, sailing and lake cruising. And of course in the winter, skiing, snowboarding, sledding and other winter activities are excellent. The valley receives about 120 inches of snowfall each winter.
Big Bear is an ideal year-round resort with four seasons of outdoor activities. Summer temperatures range from in the upper 70's during the day to around 45 at night. Because of the nearly 300 days of clear skies and sunshine, one of the world's six solar observatories is located right on the lake. Winter daytime temperatures are in the 40's and in the 20's at night.

Recipe: Swordfish tacos with lime and cilantro
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy-recipes/RE00075
Dietitian's tip: For the tastiest tacos, be sure the swordfish is fresh, not frozen, and try to use freshly made corn tortillas.
Note: The Food and Drug Administration recommends that women who might become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers and children younger than age 5 should avoid eating swordfish because they may contain high levels of mercury and other toxins. Substitutes for swordfish include halibut, mahi-mahi, sea bass, cod, snapper or other firm-textured fish.
Serves 6
- 3/4 cup pitted black olives, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced, plus 1/2 cup chopped
- 3 green (spring) onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 jalapeno chili, seeded and minced (optional)
- 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (fresh coriander)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 small head romaine (cos) lettuce, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup coarsely grated radishes
- 1/2 roasted and seeded red bell pepper (capsicum)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 1 3/4 pounds swordfish steaks or fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
In a bowl, combine the olives, diced tomatoes, green onions, jalapeno (if using), 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, the lime zest, vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, the salt and pepper. Toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Place the romaine and radishes in separate bowls, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Cut the roasted bell pepper half into chunks. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted pepper, 1/2 cup chopped tomato, 1/4 teaspoon of the chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of the cumin and the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice. Pulse to puree. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 300 F. Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and warm in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
Raise the oven temperature to 400 F. In a bowl, toss the swordfish cubes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon chili powder and 3/4 teaspoon cumin. Arrange the fish in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 5 minutes.
To serve, place 2 tortillas on each individual plate. Divide the tomato-olive mixture evenly among the tortillas and top with equal portions of the fish. Add some lettuce and radishes to each and drizzle with lime-cilantro sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes about new version and the major changes made
If you are experiencing more than one problem, please make sure you completely remove XLoot and download it fresh from here or the Curse Client.
After that, please create or comment on a existing ticket with your error(s)
All options are available via /xloot or Interface -> AddOns -> XLoot (/xlm toggles Monitor's anchors, /xlg toggles Group's)
XLoot is a small group of addons which improve looting in WoW by replacing default frames.
- XLoot Frame
- Replaces the Loot Frame, adding more information and behavior/appearance options.
- XLoot Group
- Replaces Group Loot frames, modifies Loot Alerts/Bonus Roll frame -Group frames show show how many/who is rolling on what, and who wins.
- XLoot Monitor
- Shows a "toaster" for looting items, similar to Guild Wars 2, allowing you to either more visibly see what you and others loot, or remove loot messages from your chat box all together.
- XLoot Master
- Provides a more convenient Master Looter menu
Any of these modules (Frame, Group, Monitor, Master) can be disabled like any other addon if you do not want their functionality.
Masque Skins
Not all Masque skins will work without adjustment.
Please see XLoot\skins.lua (Comments at the top) and then XLoot\SKIN_TWEAKS.lua (See examples and add tweak for skin here)
Old versions
I understand that these are large changes and may take adjustment. If you have suggestions as to how to improve the mod or something you want from the old version, please let me know.
If you are offended by these changes, a mop-compatible version will remain here but will not be supported: http://www.wowace.com/addons/xloot/files/429-mop-3-release/
I welcome your feedback.
First of all let me phrase how much I like this addon. It integrates into my custom UI so much more smoothly than the standard WoW loot frames. Thus, I'm very interested to see where the major overhaul will bring us. Considering the alpha status of the current XLoot version, there is no bug I could report. Keep on going ;)
As I understand, the XLoot Monitor module is - even more than the other ones - still in an early alpha phase. I just wondered if you plan to re-integrate the number of items both looted and possessed. E.g. if I go mining, I loved to see how much I got from an orebody and how much ore I then got in my inventory.
As for the integration of Pawn (your post of Nov 20), I'd suppose to not only integrate a binary "is/isn't an upgrade" but also include Pawn's calculated upgrade percentage as prefix. Well, if possible that is. I'm no programmer so I haven't got the faintest clue of this idea's complexity...
Found a bug. This bug occurred when I moved the XLoot Monitor to the top of my game window and turned off the anchor with /xlm and proceeded to purchase something from a merchant for a quest, hence the item.
EDIT - I also switched the grow direction from "Up" to "Down".
Last edited Nov 21, 2012 by JonathanR_B -
At the moment the "Show/Hide anchors" toggle button in the "Group Loot / Anchors" config is not hiding the XLoot Monitor anchor. I am aware of the /xlm command but I wanted to bring this to your attention.
Also, you are introducing Pawn compatibility? Care to explain a little about this, I am curious, Thanks. =)
I wasn't sure if that would be sufficient since I delete xloot stuff every time i update. Thought maybe something was causing a corruption of some sort. Rather overkill and make sure then underkill and have to figure out whats wrong.

Darren first started down the path, in the late 1980s, of understanding, appreciating and promoting (the politics of) liberty when he took a strong interest in the Reagan and Thatcher administrations (the latter person he was fortunate enough to meet in London in January 2010, and get an autograph from on his Union Jack wallet). The next milestone on this path, in the early 1990s, was his formal studies of (the microeconomics of) liberty, including history of economic thought, especially that of Adam Smith and Milton Friedman. The next milestone, in the mid 1990s to late 2000s, was his work in and around government in terms of competition reforms and regulation implementation, articularly that of so-called 'natural monopoly' price regulation.
The most recent milestone over the past several years or so was his rediscovery of the American liberty culture and the Austrian School of economics (microeconomics, macroeconomics and ethics), especially the thinking of Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Too small for cricket and missing suites for rugby fans, the stadiums that cost South Africa more than $1 billion for this year's World Cup are in danger of turning into white elephants.
Both rugby and cricket are more commercially successful than soccer in South Africa, and both sports need to move into the new stadiums to keep them financially healthy.
On Tuesday, South African Rugby Union president Oregan Hoskins told members of parliament in Cape Town that there had been no discussions between Durban city officials and rugby representatives before the $400 million Moses Mabhida Stadium was built, and now it does not have enough suites to accommodate the local Sharks rugby team.

Comfortable Camp Shoe - But a Bit Pricey
By Todd
from North Texas
Best Uses
Comments about Timberland Radler Trail Camp Hiking Shoes for Men:
I tried trail running shoes as my camp shoes (something to get into after hiking in heavy boots all day), but they are too bulky at size 13. I got these to decrease the bulk. Zipped up they are small and can attach to the outsize of my pack and survive the external conditions. The quick tie laces are clever, but the tab on the laces came off on the first night of use. The zipper also has a tab that is hard to keep from dangling down in the dirt or getting caught up under the shoe tread. Others have claim success in tucking it in, but I found this only a temporary solution. I also have fear that the zipper will wear out and the tread is going to crack from bending from the feel of operating both. Worth it if you can catch them cheap or on sale as a comfort item. If I had confidence they would last more than a couple of camping seasons I would have rated them higher.
Comment on this review
I enjoy this creative foot wear.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Over all this cleaver shoe is a bit on the novel side only because of the fold & zip aspect. As a water shoe it is great, fast drying, light, holds in place & easy to claen.

ESA Fellowship seeks games for change from young developers of colour
The Entertainment Software Association in partnership with several organisations has launched an initiative called the ESA Loft Video Game Innovation Fellowship. The fellowship will award a grant to 20 young people of colour aged six to 24, who submit a game or game idea which qualities such as "vision, creativity, and potential impact on their community" that "positively addresses a social or civic issues through technology they are comfortable with". Winners will present their ideas to policy makers in Washington. Applications are open until October 1, and Gamasutra has more details.
Thanks, GamePolitics.

The ESA somehow spends more cash lobbying the US government than the NRA does — at least officially
Despite the fact that gun debates within the US government basically don't happen while it took the Supreme Court to decide that the creation of video games is protected by the freedom of expression, the Entertainment Software Association managed to beat the National Rifle Association in lobbying bills last year, $4.8 million to $3 million, notes GamesIndustry International. The why of this is inside.

ESA: "Our best, brightest, and boldest days lie ahead"
Entertainment Software Association (ESA) president Michael Gallagher has said during his E3 keynote speech that the gaming industry's "best, brightest, and boldest days lie ahead."
Gallagher recognised the recent decline in sales in the US, but insisted that compared with other media industries, gaming is performing admirably.
He went on to say that families offered the greatest potential for industry growth, with games offering better value for money than other forms of media.
Gallagher pointed out that social gaming as equally important and companies are in an "arms race" to improve in this area.
In short: "Our best, brightest, and boldest days lie ahead," he said.
Thanks, GI.

ESA's head of government relations leaves after one month
According to a report on Gamasutra, the Entertainment Software Association's head of government relations, Jennifer Manner, has left her position with the group after just one month.
A former FCC senior counsel member, Manner was hired because of her experience with public policy, broadband, and federal tech issues while working for the FCC.
No specifics were given regarding her departure, but it is believed it was due to her lack of lobbying experience on Capitol Hill.

California pays ESA $280,000
California has had to pay ESA $280k in legal fees after the state lost a court case that would have criminalised the sale of 18-rated games in the region.
This isn't the first time the ESA has be awarded legal costs in the same situation. In fact, according to Gamespot, "Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota have all been ordered to reimburse the group's legal fees in recent years, with the Land of Lincoln being hit for $500,000."
It's almost as though trying to legislate against the gaming industry with frivolous, unnecessary law suits is a complete waste of time and money.

Ella Fitzgerald
Ella Fitzgerald
The First Lady of Song, Ella Fitzgerald was arguably the finest female jazz singer of all time (although some may vote for Sarah Vaughan or Billie Holiday). Blessed with a beautiful voice and a wide range, Fitzgerald could outswing anyone, was a brilliant scat singer, and had near-perfect elocution; one could always understand the words she sang. The one fault was that, since she always sounded so happy to be singing, Fitzgerald did not always dig below the surface of the lyrics she interpreted and she even made a downbeat song such as "Love for Sale" sound joyous. However, when one evaluates her career on a whole, there is simply no one else in her class.

For liberals, the thought of Republicans eating their young in Washington, D.C., makes for great theater and gives them reasons to chuckle.
What's not surprising following the November general election was that the Kansas Legislature is dominated by Republicans. However, party primaries in August saw the conservative wing of the GPO oust several moderates, including Senate President Steve Morris, who were willing to reach across the aisle to Democrats. In the House, Speaker Mike O'Neal decided to retire after 28 years in the chamber, including two terms as speaker.

However, where as truck and trains haul the fruit of the Plains, infrastructure ...
Often when chamber of commerce and other economic development officials stand before governing bodies to give their reports, they fill the room with vague generalities. Frustratingly vague generalities.
Louisiana Republican Governor Bobby Jindal criticized former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on recently for saying that he lost the 2012 election to President Barack Obama in part because Democrats promised "gifts" to minority groups, calling Romney's remarks "absolutely wrong," according to the Los Angeles Times.
It has been two weeks since the general election and one week since the Barton County Commission canvassed the ballots from that election. One of the results of the voting was the election of commissioner John Edmonds to the Kansas House of Representatives.
Great Bend High School announced this week the 2102 inductees into its Hall of Fame, a collection of folks that attended, taught at or had an impact on the school. This elite group has included such individuals as globe-trotting entrepreneur Skip Yowell and Nobel Prize laureate Jack Kilby. Closer to home, it includes such individuals as former Principal Don Halbower and supporter of education Glen Opie.
Later this week, dozens of hunters will join Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback for the second-annual Ringneck Classic.

Sobering news indeed. For months now, the Great Bend City Council has been cautiously planning the much-needed renovation of the Great Bend Convention Center around a $1 million pricetag and a timeline that had the project done by next August. However, Scott Bixler and his team from the Wichita architectural firm WDM were at the council meeting Monday night to discuss what the governing body wants.

It seems like its dragged on forever. But, after months of rancorous campaigning, nasty advertising and signs sprouting up like mushrooms, the 2012 general election happens today.
There has been ample media coverage of the upcoming general election and how close the race for president might be. There are also races locally that now have competing candidates. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the campaigning and develop an attitude that an individual voter can't make a difference.
There is still time for Barton County voters to apply for advanced ballots for the Nov. 6 General Election, and there are plenty of ways to make this happen. Registered voters may contact the Barton County Clerk's Office either by mail, by phone or in person for an application for an advanced voting ballot.
On Nov. 6, Kansans will head to the polls to cast their ballots for their choices in elected officials at the local, state and national levels. They will ponder weighty issues such as the economy and foreign policy as they make their selections.

HOUSTON - - A criminal investigation is under way after a hacker apparently accessed private photos and emails sent between members of the Bush family, including both former presidents.
The Houston Chronicle reports that a spokesman for former President George H.W. Bush declined to comment on a report on The Smoking Gun website detailing the alleged security breach.
Bush spokesman Jim McGrath told the Chronicle the matter is "under criminal investigation." McGrath did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment by The Associated Press early Friday.
The Smoking Gun says the hacker went by the online moniker "Guccifer," a word plastered across the leaked photos in translucent, neon blue print.
The website quotes "Guccifer" as describing himself as a veteran hacker who has long been in the government's sights.

⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- All right, I have a problem here.
- Jacob and Emily ride a ferris wheel at a carnival
- in Billings, Montana.
- The wheel has a 16-meter diameter.
- So let me draw the wheel.
- It has a 16-meter diameter.
- So let me draw it big.
- Give me a lot of space.
- So it has a 16-meter diameter, so what's its
- radius going to be?
- Its radius is going to be half of that, right?
- So if I were to draw its radius, just draw it like that.
- It's a 16-meter diameter, so it's radius is going to be 8
- meters with its lowest point above the ground-- oh,
- with its lowest point 1 meter above the ground.
- So its lowest point is right here.
- This is its lowest point, and that is 1 meter
- above the ground.
- So this distance right here is 1 meter.
- Fair enough.
- Assume that Jacob and Emily's height h above the ground is a
- sinusoidal function of time where t equals 0 represents the
- lowest point on the wheel.
- So this is at point t equals 0 right here. t equals 0 is the
- lowest point of the wheel.
- Write an equation for h.
- Oh, I think I forgot, so let me reread it.
- Jacob and Emily ride a ferris wheel at a carnival
- in Billings, Montana.
- The wheel has a 16-meter diameter-- we did
- that-- and turns at 3 revolutions per minute.
- So it turns at 3 revolutions per minute with its lowest
- point 1 meter above the ground.
- Assume that Jacob and Emily's height h above the ground is
- a sinusoidal function of time, where t equals 0.
- So we need to write a function of h, their distance above the
- ground, as a function of time, and they're saying that
- time is given in seconds.
- So, first of all, they're telling us 3 revolutions
- every minute, right?
- So that's 3 revolutions per 60 seconds, and that's the
- same thing as 1 revolution per 20 seconds, right?
- I just divide both sides of the per by 3 for 20 seconds.
- And one revolution is how many degrees?
- One revolution is 360 degrees.
- So it's 360 degrees per 20 seconds.
- And if you're going 360 degrees per 20 seconds, let's divide--
- you know, the per you can just kind of use as an equal
- sign of the equation.
- 360 degrees for 20 seconds.
- That means you're going to go what?
- 18 degrees, Just divide both sides by 20.
- 18 degrees per second.
- And we could have done it with a numerator and a denominator.
- 3 revs per-- you know, you could have said 3
- revs over 60 seconds.
- That's actually how I should have done it.
- 3 revs over 60 seconds is equal to 1 rev over 20 seconds, which
- is equal to 360 degrees over 20 seconds, which is equal to 18
- degrees per second, right?
- So we're going to travel 18 degrees per second.
- So the total number of degrees we've traveled in t seconds is
- going to be-- so see, if we say the angle, that's the angle
- from our starting point.
- So let's say we've traveled t seconds, and we're right there.
- What is-- let's drop a little altitude right here.
- What is this angle going to be, where this angle is right here?
- What is this angle going to be?
- How many degrees have we traveled?
- Well, we say we traveled 18 degrees per second, so if we
- travel t seconds, this is going to be 18t degrees, right?
- All right, so let's see if we can figure out how their height
- as a function of this-- well, as a function of t or as
- a function of this angle right here.
- So what is this height right here?
- Up here?
- It's 1 meter plus the radius because this distance
- right here is 8.
- So we could say that this is-- this point right here is h is
- equal to 9 at this point, right?
- We could almost view that as the h axis.
- So that's h is equal to 9.
- So at this point, how high are they?
- If this is h-- so right now, let me draw a little
- drop and go flat here.
- So their height above the ground is this distance h,
- which is the same thing as this distance h.
- So what is that distance?
- Well, it's going to be-- well, if this distance is h, what is
- this distance going to be?
- This distance is going to be 9 minus h.
- How do I know this?
- This whole distance is 9.
- This distance is h, so-- let me do it in a better color-- so
- that this distance right here is 9 minus h.
- So let's see what we can do.
- What do we know?
- We know this distance.
- We know this angle is 18t degrees.
- And do we know this side?
- Sure.
- That's the radius.
- That's 8.
- 8 meters.
- 9 minus h meters, 8 meters, and 18 degrees.
- And what are these sides relative to this angle?
- Well, if we were to draw a triangle here relative to this
- angle right here, the 9 minus h is adjacent, and the 8 meters
- is, of course, the hypotenuse, right?
- So what trig function deals with adjacent and hypotenuse.
- CAH, cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse.
- So we could say the cosine at 18 degrees, the cosine of 18t
- degrees, is equal to its adjacent side.
- The adjacent side is 9 minus h.
- It's equal to 9 minus h over the hypotenuse, over 8.
- And now we can solve for h, and we'll have h
- as a function of t.
- So we multiply both sides by 8.
- You get 8 cosine of 18t is equal to 9 minus h.
- Maybe we could subtract 9 from both sides.
- So we get minus 9 plus 8 cosine of 18t is equal to minus h, and
- then multiply both sides by negative 1, and then you get
- 9-- positive 9, right-- minus 8 cosine of 18t is equals
- to h, or h is equal to 9 minus 8 cosine of 18t.
- So there we have it.
- We have expressed h as a function of t.
- And in the next video, I'm actually going to

Cute as a Button QuiltsCute As A Button Quilts By Joni Pike Book Reviewed by Maria Nerius Cute As A Button Quilts has 12 quilt projects. The themes include a few holidays, hearts, cats, java, and angels. The projects include quilts, pillows, table runner, placemats, tote, bag, and a lamp. The colors are lively and bold, yet this book uses fabrics that were very easy for me to find or substitute. One of my biggest aggravations with books that use fabric is that I can't find anything close to the fabric used in the book, Pike did an excellent job of using great fabric patterns and also making it easy for the reader to "recreate" her projects easily. A friend of mine has been a quilter for over 15 years and even she was drooling over my shoulder as I read this book. I enjoyed Pike's whimsy and humor. If I had to pick a favorite I'd go with the Bloomin' Hearts pillow. Related Products to Buy from CutRateCrafts.com - save 15-30%Your Recently Viewed ProjectsLove these projects?
