Queen Elizabeth Addresses Parliament (right-click to copy direct link)
Washington, DC Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Queen Elizabeth II addressed a joint session of Parliament as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations, which mark 60 years since her accession to the throne on Feb. 6, 1952.
C-SPAN2 simulcasted the BBC's coverage of the event, hosted by Huw Edwards.
The ceremony included speeches by Baroness D'Souza, Speaker of the House of Lords, and John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons.
Both houses of Parliament presented the Queen with the gift of a Diamond Jubilee window that will be installed above the north door in Westminster Hall later this year.

It's a hectic one, am warning you now. Introductions will be short cos the rest that goes on beyond this borderline is all jam PACKED.
See for yourself (told ya it's gonna be short).
http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_m...wth.jpg?762374 A terribly exciting week for the PSP (and by terrible, I mean GREAT!), with more promised games for the neglected handheld to come our way soon. And do take note that when these games arrive, they won't necessarily be arriving with UMDs. Just ask them Patapons.
In as much as it was exciting, it was also... weird and shocking. Last week, we had news of Ecstacy drugs poppin' up (pardon the pun) within a GTA manual. This week, it's porn and guns. Ohmy...
Link: PSP Weekend Warrior
The party does not end with the gaming side of PSP. Things are definitely looking up, and guess who's laughing now. It's all thanks to a breakthrough in the PSP homebrew dev front via the Laughing Man TIFF exploit. PSP-3000, let's see how tough a nut to crack you are now.

http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_m...wth.jpg?310890Third-party exclusives are dead. It's all first-party now. Oh, and no, they don't have to go whipping out their cheque books to get good title exclusives.
Meow! That was Sony giving a little piece of their mind in the still-ongoing console war with Microsoft. Oh, but these two make our lives just a tad bit more eventful, yes?
More game (installment) news here, from parts two, to threes, all the way to thirteens. And what's this? Somebody's painting the town silver...
Link: PS3 Weekend Warrior
http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_m...wth.jpg?785798Microsoft took on the role of the responsible mega-corporation this week, as it promised to give out an extension for all those affected by the E74 error on their Xbox 360 console.
But that doesn't mean they don't have any fighting words to spare, though, as they take yet another swipe at their beloved Sony, saying that there's no more console war in the U.S. "That is soooooo over... By the way, our next stop is Europe."

http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_m...wth.jpg?711926The old: the music may be decades old but the most successful band in history charges into the gaming world, showing us its box art and its bundle. As for the new, Nintendo's fancy new controller is not looking back - you're gonna have to get the new games if you want to make full use of Wii MotionPlus since Nintendo won't add support for older games. Meanwhile, Nintendo is looking forward to coming months, where they expect the hardware sales that they've enjoyed for a long time.

Industry News:
It was a week of data and figures, with corpo-heads munching on their fingernails in nervous anticipation of their grades the past month. But of course they have to keep their poker face on, and if need be, be ready to refute any data that might otherwise go against their preferred standing. Yes, even if that data is conclusive.
Early on in the week, this Sales Data race kicked off with a prediction from -- who else -- Michael Pachter. EEDAR also chipped in their foercast, calling out a surge in PS3 sales, which will result in figures that catch up to that of the Xbox 360s. The Wii, on the other hand, seems to have recovered from its saturation of the market, and is now said to be "balancing out".
Link: Pachter, EEDAR predict March console sales: PS3 catching up to 360, Wii balancing out
As the week progressed, the numbers finally rolled out. NPD released their figures for both the March hardware and software sales, and revealed that there is a universal dip of sales across the board. Because the numbers were pretty... dismal in the hardware section, Sony and Nintendo (as they are all wont to do) chose to focus instead on the software sales, eagerly bannering their exclusive titles perched on the top list.
Link: NPD US March 2009 hardware sales show dips across the board
Link: NPD announces US software sales for March 2009, Sony and Nintendo respond
And the numbers aren't over yet, no siree. Media Create later on released the sales figures for Japanese hardware and software, with surprising results. The PSP outsells the DSi for the week of April 6th! That's definitely a cause for a celebration, wouldn't you say?
Link: Media Create Japanese hardware and software sales for 04/06 to 04/12: console sales plummet, PSP outsells DSi
And Sony is not the only one celebrating this week, as ESA sent out a press release proclaiming their joy over the guily verdict on the Pirate Bay case. Pirates beware. Argh!
Link: ESA does the happy dance for Pirate Bay guilty verdict
In the meantime, we've got more legislation proposals with the aim of curbing the influence of video games on the children. This week's brilliant idea includes a California proposal that will limit the kids' gaming time in the day care facilities. Oh, and it would be preferred if the games would be those that would motivate the children to move about and get fit. Wii Fit sales are expected to soar if this gets passed, I reckon.

http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_m...nth.jpg?896380Whew, that was sure jampacked, wasn't it? Now, before we say adieu, allow me to wax sentimental first on a trend that is inevitable: digital media.
When word first started circulating that Sony will be going the way of digital media and getting rid of the UMD format, reactions were mixed, with some pledging undying love and allegiance to the UMD, while some welcomed it as a necessary and expected evolution of the industry.
But now that it's actually upon us, with the one-eyed warriors of Patapon 2 leading the way, we'd have to ask: are we really ready now to let go of physical media for pure downloadables? Actually, it's not just for the games industry. This is also an issue that is pervading the territorial bubbles of music and film/TV industries (although this would probably be the last to get affected).
I don't know about you, but there is something co****ting with having a physical media to hold on to. I liked vinyl records for the sheer vintageness of it. I like CDs, I liked my GameBoy cartridges, I like seeing rows and rows on shelves upon shelves of DVD collections... I like seeing what is there.
I guess I prefer it to files because the tangibility of these items make it seem more... real, more actual. But again, that's just me, waxing sentimental. You're free to defend your own preferred medium -- not that there's a contest to begin with.
But fans, let me just say this: hang on to your UMDs -- looks like they're gonna be "vintageware" soon.
Thanks for keeping it here with us on QuickJump QuickPeek. There'll be more next week -- need I say more?

....does that mean they will sign Sanders?
....does that mean they will sign Sanders?
They could have brought sanders in to just show Llyod that he won't get what he wants. Could just be using sanders to lower Lloyd's salary when they bring him back. If they do sign sanders I would be fine with an additional third rounder. Everyone can be replaced.
Here We Go Steelers!
Draft 2.3
1. Eric Reid, S, LSU
2. Eddie Lacey, RB, Alabama
3. Stedman Bailey, WR, WVU
4. Josh Boyce, WR, TCU
5. Landry Jones, QB, OU
6a. Cornelius Washington, OLB, Georgia
6b. Duke Williams, SS, Nevada
7. Vince Williams, ILB, FSU
If i am Steelers GM i won't match Cheatroits offersheet. I will take Rd 3 pick for Sanders...
Steelers Draft
Rd 1: Cordarrelle Patterson - WR
Rd 2: Sio Moore - ILB/OLB
Rd 3: Christine Michael - RB
Rd 4: Shamarko Thomas - SS
Rd 5: Lerentee McCray - OLB
Rd 6(a): Ryan Griffin - QB
Rd 6(b): Micah Hyde - CB
Rd 7: Vince Williams - ILB
Patriots have so few draft picks, it would seem unlikely they give up their 3rd as well. I think this was a leverage move by the Patsys. I may be in the minority, but I like Sanders and hope he stays. Filling one WR spot will be tough enough. I hope his injuries are behind him.
Boy! The Patophiles are really playing chicken with this particular draft.
It appears that Sanders left NE without signing the sheet (the last time I checked). But so what if he did? The 3rd round is where championship teams are built. I dislike that the Steelers would be apparently thin at WR if he left. But this draft has lots of talent beyond the 4th round at that position, so it is likely the Steelers could pick up a WR (or, maybe, even two) on the third day and that might be sufficient for our need. We'll see.
Steelers...On The STAIRWAY TO SEVEN!!!
ASIAN... thanks, brotha!

MED-Penile-Reconstruction (with art; also see Freedom-Project-Operation-Hope)
It was a horrific act that brought the boy to an operating room in Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. A gang on the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh, had cut off his penis and a testicle. He was only 7 at the time. "As far as an injury committed by one person against another, to a child, this is the most severe genital injury that I've ever seen in 23 years of doing this," Dr. John Gearhart, a pediatric urologist, told CNN. Gearhart and pediatric plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Redett volunteered their time to reconstruct the boy's penis.
MED-Morning-Sickness (with art)
Whenever there's a royal wedding, waiting for the news that a royal heir is on the way is always the next step. Less than two years after Britain's Prince William wed his bride Catherine Middleton, word of a royal pregnancy was eagerly anticipated. Now we know Catherine is having a baby. But the world didn't find out in the form of a photo revealing a conspicuous baby bump. Rather, the news broke when Buckingham Palace announced Monday the Duchess of Cambridge has been "admitted ... to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with hyperemesis gravidarum," - which means excessive vomiting during pregnancy. As most mothers can attest, feeling nauseated during pregnancy is not unusual, so why is the duchess hospitalized?

New applications of a genetic test could help parents learn more about the genetics of their unborn children.
As they move from their early teens to their late teens, kids no longer want to be pals with Mom and Dad. Teenage boys are much less likely than girls to initiate conversations with their parents. And moms baby their sons. Not exactly news flashes, you say? But we're not talking about real life here, exactly. We're talking about Facebook.
Yes, critics of the sometimes disposable nature of today's tech world, it's come to this. You can now eat your iPhone case. The price of a crunchy treat that also (theoretically) protects your most precious of mobile gadgets? $81.

Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield Premiere "The Amazing Spider-Man"
Pushing forth with their ambitious European press tour, the stars of "The Amazing Spider-Man" took over the spotlight in Berlin, Germany on Wednesday evening (June 20).
Castmates Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield and Rhys Ifans were flanked by director Marc Webb and producer Avi Arad while posing for pictures at the Cinestar Sony Center movie theater at Potsdamer Platz square.
As for the latest installment from the comic book franchise, "The Amazing Spider-Man" sees "Peter Parker find a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner."
Showing off her dark side in the City of Lights, Emma Stone was spotted arriving to "The Amazing Spider-Man" French premiere at Le Grand Rex last night (June 19).
The blonde bombshell looked absolutely stunning in a black gown with plunging neckline and embellishments matched with a dark lip as she smiled for the cameras at the Paris locale.
Per the usual, Miss Stone was joined by her on and off-screen boyfriend Andrew Garfield, who looked spiffy in a colorful berry toned suit.
The European appearance comes as Sony Pictures is revving up even more excitement for its sci-fi/fantasy actioner with the release of its seventh TV spot and 13th clip, which gives audiences a taste of Spidey's encounter with the Lizard.
"The Amazing Spider-Man" is set to open in theaters on July 3 and also stars Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen and Sally Field.

EFQUEL Innovation forum - paper submission deadline extended until 30 May
Submit an abstract (250-400 words) by 30th May 2012, by e-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Selected applicants will be invited to submit a full paper by 21st June, 2012.
The review committee will inform authors of final acceptance of the paper by 15th July.
The conference is focusing on the following questions: How can we turn our traditional educational institutions into (r)evolutionary leading organisations? How can innovation be stimulated? It will observe and analyse how open innovation can be used to transform today's educational institutions. Educational institutions have mostly taken an evolutionary approach to respond to the challenges of the modern world. But the incremental innovation of our educational institutions is not sufficient to cope with the ongoing fundamental transformation of societies. Change in most education institutions has started too late and is executed too slowly to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Only open, disruptive innovation offers higher education institutions strategic choices to overcome long-standing and deeply-rooted orthodoxies and to make them fit for the future. A key issue in this situation is to develop a balanced view on the topic from all perspectives: strategic, pedagogical, managerial as well as technological. We aim to bring in contributions from different domains and disciplines towards open innovation and quality.

I dunno. Sometimes the best effect is just the lights from the motherboard, RAM, and fans coming through an etched window...it catches on the Frosting...
Yea I did the same, makes my case weight a ton. I consider it more a theft deterrent than sound isolation because I dont think it really does anything! I dont see a burglar wanting to run off with my 40 pound massive case lol Heres some pics I just took. Still lots to do on this aging build, but I dont feel a real need since its still fast enough for me.
LOL ohwell my comps a tank now, sucks when I want to haul it out from under there its a beast its made from thick alum and steel lol Edit: I mainly got the sound dampening figuring it would help keep my disc drives quieter but thier still quite loud.
Mine stays buttoned up as well. Cats too. I did some sound deadening on my TJ09 too. Just the side panels tho.
Lol, damn you cats! I have a cat as well, but I never closed my PC off I would LOL if my cat ever got his nose in the fan. I'm not cruel, btw.
meh my pc is noisy but i dont care, but id rather it be noisy than get hot, i have 2 profiles in CCC, gaming and desktop, in desktop, its pretty damn quiet and in gaming mode its fairly noisy but cool, if im gaming i either have my headphones on or my speakers turned up loud so its a win win situation, until a good silent cooling solution comes out at the right price(key factor), this will do me just fine
lol, when i had the stock cooler on my 2900 I would scare my cat by turning the fan up to 100% when he got close to it. lol good times.
Timeline of my Antec 182 Gunmetal black My Antec case has gone thru some changes in the last year.. here all stages it was in: 1)With my old 939 socket DFI Lanparty mobo and a crappy GPU 2)With my DFI Blood Iron which i killed with one of kexxx´s bioses and a even more crappier GPU 3)With my current DFI Dark P35 on Air 4)With my current DFI Dark P35 on Water
I wanted to try water cooling to understand it, but I've always had success with air. I figured I'd get a nice loop with current equips, and then resell all of the parts after my experimentation. So far no problems. I loved the experience but for the rest of the term I have with this PC I want it on air I'm in the process of putting her all back together with a 4870x2 and a different case. I've got pics of a practically identical system in an Antec 900. Same ram, same mobo, E8600 E0, but a different PSU. Hey! While I'm at it that's where my rigs go. 22" flat screen and a vinyl made to look like wood
Heres mine atm with my finished water loop.Its a t-line setup,which i am happy with. Swiftech apogee gt/ddc3.2+xspc top/240mm bip radiator/xspc razor full cover 4850 block Sorry for crappy pic,i had to use a webcam.I will take some better pics soon.
I know my middle fan has a touch of dust, but you make it sound like I'm drowning in the stuff! It's pretty dang clean; fresh off a mobo swap!:shadedshu Show us the insides! We love tech pR0n!
Sir u wont like the inside much , cuz my cable management sux , infect there isnt cable management anyways here are the pics :

text: AIP Launches eBooks on Scitation Hosting PlatformSPIE becomes first publishing partner to benefit from this dynamic new publishing modelMelville, NY, September 22, 2009 — The American Institute of Physics (www.aip.org) today launched a robust, feature-rich new eBooks website for SPIE, the International Society for Optics and Photonics. The site (spiedigitallibrary.org/ebooks), hosted on AIP's Scitation C3 platform, provides collections of SPIE Press books to institutions, including the option to purchase individual book chapters. The eBooks are fully integrated into the SPIE Digital Library so that researchers and students are now able to cross-search and access journals, proceedings, and books on a single site. "The phenomenal rise in interest surrounding eBooks, coupled with a forecast of strong growth in the future, makes this an ideal time for publishers to add eBooks to their current online offerings," said John Haynes, AIP's Vice President, Publishing. "Our dedication of increased manpower and other resources in recent years has now propelled AIP into the vanguard of publishing technology—with eBooks just one important byproduct of this effort." AIP's eBook capabilities are enabled by leveraging the enrichment and discovery tools of Scitation's new C3 infrastructure, setting the stage for content mixing, faceted browsing, guided search, and new features that allow users to find related content across a publisher's entire catalog, all in a rich, user-focused environment. User activity is tracked and made available to subscribing institutions through AIP's COUNTER-3 compliant usage statistics service. "The benefits of this new capability go beyond the potential for new revenue, providing increased visibility for our book program through Scitation's relationships with Google, CrossRef, and library vendors and thereby reaching the desktops of more researchers and students around the world," said Eric Pepper, SPIE Director of Publications. "We expect the site to enhance discovery of our content, increase traffic, and spur overall use of the SPIE Digital Library." Scitation's newly enhanced C3 platform establishes a strong foundation for the eBook programs of scholarly publishers and offers a high degree of flexibility and extensibility for future growth. The American Institute of Physics is a federation of 10 physical science societies representing more than 135,000 scientists, engineers, and educators and is one of the world's largest publishers of scientific information in the physical sciences. Offering partnership solutions for scientific societies and for similar organizations in science and engineering, AIP is a leader in the field of electronic publishing of scholarly journals. AIP publishes 12 journals (some of which are the most highly cited in their respective fields), two magazines, including its flagship publication Physics Today; and the AIP Conference Proceedings series. Its online publishing platform Scitation hosts nearly two million articles from more than 185 scholarly journals and other publications of 28 learned society publishers. SPIE is the International Society for Optics and Photonics, founded in 1955 to advance light-based technologies. Serving more than 188,000 constituents from 138 countries, the Society advances emerging technologies through interdisciplinary information exchange, continuing education, publications, patent precedent, and career and professional growth. The SPIE Digital Library is the world's largest resource for optics and photonics research, containing more than 280,000 journal and proceedings articles from 1990 to the present. Topics span the broad interdisciplinary fields of optics, photonics, and imaging, with applications spanning biomedicine, communications, energy, aerospace, defense, manufacturing, computing, entertainment, and electronics.

Seven sent
One year after Katrina, the jazz septet Lucky 7s get lucky again.
One year ago this week, Chicago trombonist Jeb Bishop was playing the Chicago Jazz Fest in the immediate aftermath of Katrina. "I think it was too soon for anyone to feel anything other than shock," Bishop says.
But for trombonist Jeff Albert down in New Orleans, Katrina brought more than shock—it brought the destruction of the grassroots scene he and other musicians had been building in his native city. "What was really frustrating was we all felt like we were on the verge of really coming together in the scene," Albert says. "And [Katrina] just blew the whole thing up: Everybody was gone and everything was closed."
Longtime colleagues Bishop and Albert found higher ground by forming a group of musicians—four from Chicago and three from New Orleans—called the Lucky 7s. Their first series of shows in late February of this year (during Mardi Gras, incidentally) didn't go unnoticed. Jazz Fest committee members decided to fly Albert—the only musician in the band who doesn't currently live in Chicago—in from the Crescent City to play the New Orleans stage at Jazz Fest on Sunday 3, and then two subsequent shows at local clubs.
Avant-garde jazz bands rarely tour through New Orleans—mostly because of its distance from other jazz-friendly cities—but Bishop's trio, Vandermark 5, did in 2002. Albert was familiar with their work. "The whole Chicago, North Side free-jazz scene had been very influential on me in a lot of ways," Albert says. "And hearing Jeb's trio was really one of those shake-me-up moments." After that, the two stayed in touch through online jazz message boards.
Weeks after the storm passed, Albert realized few musicians were returning and his desire to play was only increasing. He reached out to Bishop to see if there were any Chicago opportunities, and Bishop obliged. "Besides needing the [financial] work, there was just the spiritual and emotional aspect of needing to play," Albert says. In addition, Bishop suggested they collaborate while Albert was in town and the Lucky 7s were born. Their CD, Farragut, recorded live at the Hungry Brain during that Mardi Gras collaboration in Chicago, is more triumph than tragedy. Even Bishop's "Belgrade," inspired by a 2004 trip to the grim city, suddenly had a different resonance. "Working after a catastrophe, that's the theme of the piece," Bishop says. "The fact that we were organizing the music in the wake of all this is really important."
And serendipity has followed them: Drummer Quin Kirchner, whose New Orleans house flooded, was originally from Chicago and returned here; and bassist Matthew Golombisky, who had been attending graduate school for music composition for four years in New Orleans, was able to transfer his remaining semester of course work to Northwestern University's prestigious music school, where he graduated this past May. Both now call Chicago home.
Albert has no plans to leave New Orleans, despite its ghost-town feel. "You can go from a totally normal-looking street—with people and cars parked—and then two blocks over, nobody's there." Which means touring has become a luxury instead of a drag. "You have to get out of town regularly," Albert says. "If you stay in New Orleans too long, it wears on you in a funny way."
Lucky 7s play the Chicago Jazz Festival Sunday 3, Velvet Lounge Tuesday 5 and Elastic Wednesday 6.

So transport minister Tom Harris has told people to stop being so miserable. For once a politician may have a point… but only to an extent. Yes, we are one of the wealthiest nations on the planet and yes our health systems, education etc. are comparatively excellent and our general standard of living is very high. The problem (without getting into a discussion of how rising living costs will affect the poorest and most vulnerable in the country firmly excluding Harris with his very comfortable wage) is that we just find it galling to take this kind of criticism from a politician- they are not exactly the number one trusted brand. We amuse ourselves with the picture of the politician coming into the office for a spot of brand consultancy to try to re-engage with these 'miserable, apathetic' voters. We image the conversation going something like this:
Foundry34: So let's start with the basics- what is your key message, what is your brand trying to say to your audience?Unspecified politician: Well really we don't have one message what we do is provide a whole heap of policies and promises with some impressive sounding figures to try and confuse people and give them the impression we might do something worthwhile at some point- then sit and argue with the shadow cabinet who thought of the idea first.
Foundry34: Okay, so you make a brand promise and then you deliver it to build a rapport up with your audience and become a familiar trusted brand?
Unspecified politician: Well no, what we like to do is make those promises then once we are in power don't deliver them or sometimes just deny we ever made the promise in the first place.
Foundry34: Don't you find that this upsets your key audience and loses you market share?
Unspecified politician: Actually we gave up having any 'key' market years ago, we just try to be all things to all people with some centre centre bias, in fact, you can't really tell either of the parties apart anymore. We've found it much more effective to have no clear differentiators and simply rely on the fact we have a young, charismatic charm monkey and the other party has some stuffy old duffer.
Foundry34: That's the other way around now though isn't it?
Unspecified politician: Well yes
Foundry34: Have you considered contacting any other brand agencies?

The MAROON Vol. 60, X«. 19 Loyola University, New Orleans March 5,1982 LU confronts financial aid squeeze By Carta Barrow Mart jn Reporter As rumors shroud the educational budget cuts proposed by the Reagan administration, Loyola is preparing to meet student need in the event of anticipated chops in federal student aid programs, according to Dr. E. P. Seybold, director of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Seybold feels Loyola will be able to handle the situation next year without difficulty. "As the federal government restricts funding, Loyola plans to make it up," Seybold said. "As the federal government restricts funding, Loyola plans to make it up." He said Loyola hopes to increase its financial aid fund from $1.45 million to $2 million next year. The extra $550,000 would be used to supplement decreased aid offered to students by the federal government. "Let's say someone's Basic Grant (Basic Educational Opportunity Grant/Pell Grant) is down $200, we'll supplement it with this money," he said. His proposed budget increase must wait until May for the Board of Trustees approval, but Seybold feels certain it will be approved. "I'm preparing to spend money already as if it's been passed." Students may not have the same financial package as last year, Seybold said, but he wants to meet their full need. "They may have less grant money, more loan and work study funds." However, Seybold said Loyola is preparing to meet student need "with certain reservations." Reservations concern graduate and professional students and students who, theoretically, do not qualify for financial aid. As of today graduate students can participate in the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) and National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) programs and work study. Reagan will probably cut the larger GSL program entirely, Seybold said. According to Seybold, Reagan hopes to enjoin the states' participation -in Auxiliary Loans to Assist Students. This program would provide graduate students with loans at an interest rate 5 percent higher than that presently paid, cutting government interest rates by 5 percent. However, only three states have adopted the program, and Louisiana is not one of them. It will be April before the legislature considers it, Seybold said. - % "We have no reason to suspect they will eyen like the program," h« said. Seybold said budget cuts for graduate students had not been proposed when Loyola created the half-million dollar "cushion." The "cushion" could not possibly make up for state and federal loans which total nearly $2 million, he added.There is also concern for students whose parents' income does not reflect their contributions. Some parents choose not to contribute, but some truly cannot meet their responsibility, he said. "Loyola realizes financial aid calculations are not always realistic in times of tight economy." According to Seybold, Loyola is seeking alternatives for these graduate and undergraduate students. Additional funding should come in the form of lower-interest loans. Loyola will soon release detailed information about loans available to graduate students from private sources. These loans will enable students to borrow money at a lowerthan-market interest rate to finance their education. "They probably won't serve the needs of the very needy, because they will require partial repayment while the student is still in school," Seybold said. Undergraduate students may also be able to borrow money if they show the need, he said. Loyola is working out plans for a public lending institution to offer loans at lower-than-market interest rates. Seybold knows of no other canopus in the United States with such a program. Few students have visited the financial aid office to voice their concern, said Seybold. "Maybe it's a good thing they haven't. All we could tell them now is 'next year should be no problem, so do what you're supposed to do (file financial aid forms by April 15).' " Seybold is still uncertain what exact form the cuts will take. The College Press Service reported that the administration proposes to cut funding for Pell Grants by 40 percent. Only students from families earning less than $14,000 would be eligible, compared to the 1981 cutoff of $27,000. Maximum grants, moreover would be $1,400, down from $1,670 in 1981. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants await the chopping block — perhaps destined to be cut entirely. "... Financial aid calculations are not always realistic in times of tight economy." The administration is seeking abolition of the NDSL program, in which students can get low cost loans to pay for school. However, Loyola will continue to make loans by using money being repaid to the university by past NDSL borrowers. Reagan calls for a 27 percent funding cut for work-study programs, in which the federal government helps colleges pay students working their way through school. The GSL faces dramatic reform. Graduate and professional school students would become ineligible. Students would pay a 10 percent Reform is advocated by Jesuits By Karen Schroeter Marron \ssislanl News Editor "The criminal justice system is essentially dehumanizing," the Rev. Hilton Rivet, S.J., director of the Archdiocesan Prison Apostolate,said. "Nobody who goes into the system comes out a better person." Rivet belongs to a group of Loyola Jesuits who work in Louisiana's prison system as chaplains, counselors, and advocates against the death penalty.His duties as director are "to see that all prisons within the archdiocese of New Orleans are covered by priests, and/or full-time deacons, and/or nuns interested in helping to bring the spiritual message, and to show the prisoners that someone cares." Rivet learned about the prison world after working as chaplain for Orleans Parish prison for six years. "The prison world is draining to anyone who works in it. You really can't or shouldn't try to take more than six years because it eats you up," he said." Rivet wrote a book titled Hey Lord, Can You Give Me A Minute? as a way of helping prisoners come to grips with their emotions and the problems of being in prison. First in a three-part series According to Rivet, a chaplain's job is not simply to say mass and hear confession. "I think the main role of a chaplain," he said, "is to be one who listens, hears the pleas of the men and women, and lets them know that someone cares that they are alive. That's the biggest need prisoners have - someone to treat them like full human beings." The Rev. Stephen Rowntree, S.J., who worked as a counselor during the summer, and the Rev. John Payne, 3 violent crimes reported; college students victimized By Mike Tifft Assistant News Editor A Loyola student was robbed of $2.80 by a gun-wielding thief Tuesday night at the corner of Freret and Adams Streets. "He told me not to turn around 'or I'll blow your head off,' " Robert Noonan, communications senior, said. Noonan said he was walking home along Freret when he noticed a pickup truck following him. When Noonan reached the corner of Adams, the pickup turned down Adams "and a black male, the passenger, got out. He asked me where the nearest bus was, then asked me for change for a quarter. He came closer and asked me again. I gave him a quarter, and then he pulled a gun out on me," Noonan said. Noonan said the gunman placed the gun on Noonan's chest and told him to empty his pockets. The gunman escaped with thC* $2.80 and Noonan's keys and wallet. Noonan called a friend for a ride, and called the police from the friend's house. "I didn't want to go home, because he had my keys," Noonan said. According to Noonan, he first called the police at 10:25 p.m., then four more times before the police arrived at 2:30 a.m. "I was a little upset that the police took so long to respond," he said. A police spokesman from second district headquarters had no comment. In unrelated incidents, a Tulane student was raped and robbed in her dorm room very early last Thursday morning. The rape occurred between 3:30 and 4 a.m. when a black male, described as about 25 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches tall, weighing about 170 to 180 pounds and wearing brown pants and a brown shirt, forced his way through a window into the student's room. He threatened the student with a knife and then raped her, police said. The assailant later struck a Tulane security guard with a portable radio taken from the student's room, and escaped. In the other incident which occurred on Broadway Street, a Tulane student was threatened Sunday night by a man with a knife. The student screamed, and the man fled. See Aid/page2 See Reform/page 5

Reviews for Pumpkin Scones with Berry Butter(6)
Sort By :
I just made these and have finished my first one. Now I have many many recipes and have tried many that were ok, but nothing special, and I wouldn't make them again. But these scones are amazing and I'll be keepinllg this recipe around for sure! I'm taking them to my churches womens meeting and I'm sure they'll be a hit!
These scones are very good. I usually like my scones to be more savory than sweet and cut the sugar in half. The first time I made these I completely forgot the sugar all together! Oops! So I brushed them with pumpkin coffee creamer and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. I served them with butter srpinkled with more cinnamon sugar and my kids didn't know the difference! I usually make these with 2 T sugar and mini cinnamon chips instead of the pecans. I also pat 2 six in circles and make 12 scones. These are good however you make them!
I wanted to use up some leftover pumpkin, and we needed something for breakfast, so I decided to give these a try. The flavor was really great, they weren't too dry, and the berry butter really topped them off! I was very pleased, especially since I had to make them gluten free for my mother's sake. I highly recommend this recipe!
I made this recipe years ago when this issue of TOH came out, but I never made the berry butter. I did my own variation. (I think I added mini chocolate chips and made a maple glaze to drizzle over the top.) And I had never made them since. Well, with leftover pumpkin in my fridge, I was scouring my pumpkin recipes, so I could use it up, and I decided to make this recipe the original way. The berry butter was a delicious addition to the scone! I didn't add the pecans (because my husband can't eat them), but we loved them even without the nuts. My husband enjoyed them so much, he said for dessert he just wanted another scone with berry butter, and that's a huge compliment. I did make a double batch, because I have 4 picky little boys, so in one batch, I added 1/2 cup craisins and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, and those were very good, too. I will definitely make this again, AND the berry butter. Definitely give the berry butter a chance. I'm glad I did.

One of the best things about writing literature reviews for Classic-Horror.com is getting the chance to expose readers to writers who may have previously gone undetected on the horror fan radar. Fritz Leiber is just such a scribe that many will most likely admit to having never heard of. Getting his start in those lovely pulp magazines of the 1930s and 40s, Leiber was a talent whose unique emphasis on supernatural horror occurring in modern society was considered revolutionary in its approach. If you go in expecting to hear of morbid gents digging around in eldritch tombs or fearless heroes slaying monsters in Gothic castles, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised (and frightened) by Leiber's prospect of evil lurking right next door. This idea is apparent in one of Leiber's greatest works, Conjure Wife, a tale of the hazy line that bridges the world of reality and the realms of darkness beyond. (read more...)

Legend Of Grimrock |
Legend Of Grimrock |
Jun 26 2012, 08:44 AM
Legend of Grimrock
Written By: v0rt3x Back in 1991, I remember fondly playing a Game called Eye of the Beholder. It was an amazingly deep game, to which I lost hours of my young teenage years. Just a few nights ago, Almost Human Games released a game called Legend of Grimrock. It is inspired by Eye of Beholder, Dungeon Master and Ultima Underworld. The game itself is certainly reminiscent of the style and gameplay present in those older titles. As sentenced prisoners, your party is abandoned at the top of Mount Grimrock and must make its way down to the bottom, through all sorts of dungeons; in order for them to be cleared of whatever crimes they were accused of committing. The game offers a generic party but also gives the option to let players design their own heroes. It has tiled based movement and real time action. The graphics are fairly nice, the models very detailed and the textures nicely applied. The lighting is really nice and key to creating this great dungeon atmosphere. In a day and age where we are used to cutting edge visuals, these Indie devs pull it off with limited resources. There are about 15 types of monsters wand a total of 13 levels of dungeons to explore. Using puzzles, tactical combat and real time action, they manage to set the pace in an exciting game of exploration, treasure hunting and survival. More thinking and less button mashing is the opus morandi. Monsters can sneak up on your party, circle around and surprise you with flank attacks. Traps and pitfalls are everywhere and you will need quick wits and a sharp mind to avoid them. If you would like to further live the experience of old school dungeon delving, the game lets you disable features such as auto-mapping, meaning youll have to pull out the graph paper if you want to survive! For the future, the developers, who worked on previous titles such as Alan Wake and Max Payne 2, have talked about a level editor as well as possible expansions that would perhaps include new dungeons. In my first game, I started with the default party, which included a fighter, a Minotaur, a rogue and a mage. The first thing that struck me was that I had no equipment, time to scrounge! Looking around the dungeon floor I found an old knife and a couple of cast off peasant clothes. It would have to do. Once inside the dungeon, the game instantly felt like a classic. As I explored further in the dungeon, I started coming across some sort of fungal creatures and giant snails. Using fists and wits, I managed to defeat them, learning a flame burst spell in the process. The way the magic system works is very interesting. Using 9 runes, you choose a combination and unleash a spell. You can only cast the spells that you have enough knowledge to pull off, or else it will fizzle. Luckily I had found a few scrolls giving me indications. After forgetting to save and being boxed in and wiped out by some skeletons, I began to save more often. The game is very unforgiving in that regard. I did manage to elude some traps (not all of them), find some hidden rooms by pressing some cleverly hidden buttons and go through a teleportation puzzle. As of today Im down to level four. I had to stop playing to write this and Im going right back to it afterwards. Over the last years, weve seen visuals in game reach new heights, but a lot of times, the gameplay in these beautiful titles stayed stale or inexistent. In the last year, there has been a slew of Indie Developers announcing or releasing games based on old licences and gaming concepts. This is great for the gaming industry. I hope more continue to do so as these games can re-kindle the love of playing in all of us. Legend of Grimrock is available for purchase on Steam for $13.49 right now (10% off)! |

The Longboat Key Club and Resort's $400 million Islandside renovation-and-expansion hearing was almost not presented by club officials to the Town Commission Friday, Jan. 8, at Temple Beth Israel.
Commissioner Hal Lenobel told more than 100 residents, lawyers and town staff in attendance Friday that after reading the town's Comprehensive Plan (the town's constitution for land use regulations), he found it incoherent.
"I firmly believe amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are imperative to prevent future problems and I am asking for legislative amendments before we concern ourselves with this project," Lenobel said.
But after an hour-and-a-half of discussion deciding whether or not the commission should hear the presentation in its entirety or handle its potential Comprehensive Plan issues first, commissioners voted 6-1 to review the entire project first.
The daylong hearing continued with Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Simpson's staff report, which does not recommend approval of the project at this time while it works with club officials to work through traffic and open-space calculation concerns.
Friday afternoon, the chairman and CEO of Loeb Partners Realty told the Town Commission that the Key Club and the Islandside project its proposing is a long-term investment for his company's more than $3 billion U.S. real-estate portfolio.
"It's one of my favorite properties in our portfolio and I own a piece of it myself," Lesser said.
Lesser told the commission that "not one dime" of the Key Club has been distributed to his company's investors over the last 10 years, so the property's profits can be funneled back into projects such as The Tennis Gardens, the purchase of the Harbourside marina and the Islandside project.
Lesser told Islandside Property Owners Coalition attorney Michael Furen that he could not guarantee the five-star hotel would be built.
Said Lesser: "I can tell you it's our intent to do so. We wouldn't have spent the money we have in preparation for this project otherwise."
The Islandside project calls for constructing a new Rees Jones-designed golf course; a new clubhouse; a 196-room, five-star hotel with an additional 34 units to be used for luxury residences; a new meeting center; two villa townhomes with a total of 10 units; two condominium buildings with 66 units each; a new wellness center with enhanced spa-and-fitness facilities; and other recreational amenities for club members and guests.
The commission is charged with making the ultimate decision on the project and the issues the club still has with some of the conditions proposed, which include figuring out a way to guarantee the five-star hotel will be built. The commission will meet again at 9 a.m. Monday, Jan. 11, at Temple Beth Israel, 567 Bay Isles Road, to continue the club's presentation.

- It seems to me that the COMMISSION put the CART BEFORE THE HORSE when they decided to go foward with the KEY CLUB APPLICATION before deciding whether or not the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN was applicable in it's current form to this very important application. The cost of going forward to both the APPLICANT and the OPPOSITION plus the expense to our TOWN is mind -boggling!

Marchers honoring Trayvon Martin huddle outside Ohio State's Longaberger Alumni House after addressing the trustees inside at President E. Gordon Gee's invitation. The group asked for hate-crime alerts and greater campus diversity.
Ohio State University will increase student scholarship money by $50 million over four years to help attract the brightest students worldwide and to make sure that prospective enrollees aren't deterred by lack of money.
Provost Joseph A. Alutto announced yesterday that the school will increase merit- and need-based aid as part of a plan to make Ohio State one of the top 10 public research universities in the country.
"While the quality of our student body has increased considerably and our graduation rates have improved, we still lag behind our very best peers," Alutto said after yesterday's OSU board of trustees meeting.
To try to surpass those schools, Alutto said, Ohio State has created a 10-year plan to move " from excellence to eminence."
In addition to expanding student financial aid, the first phase of the plan calls for these expenditures:
• $2 million to create a second-year dorm experience for sophomores, and to support other " living-learning" communities in which students who share common interests or academic programs live and learn together. The university plans to build more dormitories and require sophomores to live on campus.
• $10 million to add more tenure-track professors. The goal is to increase the number of faculty members by 8 to 10 percent — about 300 new positions — over the next 10 years at an estimated cost of $300 million.
• $10 million for building improvements.
The money would come from state construction funds, an expected $1.5 billion in cost savings over the next five to 10 years from streamlined services and other cost-shaving measures, and new revenue such as OSU's partnership with Huntington National Bank. Huntington recently agreed to pay Ohio State $25 million to become the school's official on-campus bank.
To better compete for students, the university created an "eminent scholars" program to provide 50 full-ride scholarships a year. Each scholarship will cover tuition, fees and room and board, valued at about $28,000.
Students selected as scholars also will be eligible for a one-time payment of $3,000 after their freshman year so they can do research with faculty members or study abroad, said Dolan Evanovich, OSU's vice president for strategic enrollment.
Ohio State also will increase its need-based "Scarlet and Gray" grants from $3,000 to $4,000 and increase the number of students receiving them by a third — to 7,800 next fall. The additional funds will allow the university to consider children from families with higher incomes than in the past. The cut-off was just over $60,500 a year; it will now be just below $68,000.
"It's such a huge investment, I'm dancing on air," Evanovich said.
Ohio State distributes about $100 million in student scholarships and grants each year and recently completed a $116 million fundraising campaign for future student support. Tuition hasn't been set for next year, but Evanovich said that campus officials are trying to keep from imposing the maximum-allowed increase of 3.5 percent.
The meeting marked the end of Leslie H. Wexner's second term as trustees chairman. The Limited Brands founder is being succeeded by Robert H. Schottenstein, who is chairman, CEO and president of M/I Homes Inc. Wexner is to continue on the board through 2020, and Schottenstein's appointment runs through 2014.
Trustees were greeted at their meeting at Longaberger Alumni House on Olentangy River Road by about 200 students and others. They were marching in memory of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was shot to death by a neighborhood-watch volunteer in a suburb of Orlando, Fla. Some believe that Martin, a black youth, was shot as a result of racial profiling; the man who shot him has said he acted in self-defense.
President E. Gordon Gee invited the group into the meeting, where they asked the trustees to require the university to send out hate-crime alerts and to increase the diversity of its students and faculty members.
