Poynter hits all the right notes in covering the ESPN Jeremy Lin headline controversy
AA has routinely taken the ESPN Ombudsman to task for their lack of impactful writing and coverage of ESPN in the last year. The Poynter Institute has often fallen short in meaningful information and criticism for readers, fans, and observers of ESPN ever since their tenure as ombudsman began. At times, the Poynter staff might as well have been ESPN PR crafting pieces that defended the network without offering any real and relevant questions or criticism. However, Jason Fry's effort in tackling one of ESPN's biggest controversies in the last year hit all the right notes.
Poynter was swift in their reaction piece to the infamous statements about Jeremy Lin that led to one editor being fired and one ESPNEWS anchor being suspended for 30 days. Fry's column also answered the question that ESPN declined to address initially - why was there not checks and balances in place to protect editor Anthony Federico from having a possibly offensive headline from being published at 2:30 AM. Here's the story from Poynter on how the headline was published without a safety net in place...
Anthony Mormile, vice president for mobile content at ESPN, said the Bristol-based editorial team for the mobile sites consists of eight people who usually work two per shift. After 2 a.m., one editor is often catching up on the "back end," updating content for sports that aren't in season and taking care of other editorial loose ends. The other editor is generally handling the "front end" of the site, loading up "experience carousels" with headlines, summaries and links to articles. (Because cellphones offer less screen real estate than desktop computers, the mobile editors often write different headlines.)
Mormile said that, on Saturday night, the front-end editor -- 28-year-old Anthony Federico, who had six years of experience on the mobile team -- liked Begley's column and decided to spotlight it for the mobile site, sensing that the conversation had shifted from the Knicks' loss to potential holes in Lin's game.
On the Web side, (ESPN SR VP Rob) King said, lead content packages and headlines go through a copy desk before they're pushed live, and a copy editor is always there when a home page editor is working. But the mobile team doesn't have "that level of oversight … you had one person making a move that a lot of people could see."
Mormile says the mobile editors generally double-check each other's work, providing at least an informal safety net. But the other editor on Federico's shift was busy supporting ESPN's Bracket Bound app, which is getting a lot of usage in the run-up to March Madness. Federico pushed the headline out himself -- and, when Mormile was alerted a little after 3 a.m., Twitter "was blowing up with people putting up screen shots and condemnations."

It's almost June and the weather has been great. Makes you want to get out and exercise, doesn't it?
Well, before you do that, stop and think for a moment. How about picking an activity that you can do year round? You love swimming but only have access to a pool during the summer—what do you do after that?
All right, so you have picked walking. The best way to start is to set a start date—let's say Sunday, 2 weeks from now. You have time to figure out a variety of issues—like what time will you go? Can you go at that time every day? Does variation of your job hours pose a problem? How about getting up 45 minutes earlier and start your walking first thing in the morning?
Before you start, do you have the right shoes? Get the best pair that are the most comfortable out there. Don't scrimp on shoes. How about clothes? Do you have some lightweight shirts and shorts that absorb the sweat and keep you cool?
And finally, are you going to do this by yourself? Or do you have a buddy? Or a dog? Having a companion makes the walk more fun. But remember, it is a walk , not a stroll.
Get in the habit of stretching before your walk and afterwards. Make sure you are hydrated. Set some goals. Start at 20 minutes 3 times a week and over time increase to 60 minutes every day. Walking on the job doesn't count. And rewarding yourself with ice cream after doesn't count. Try yogurt or fruit.
If you have medical issues, especially cardiac or respiratory, consult your doctor before venturing out. Are there any precautions you should take?
There are lots of issues to consider here. But, remember, your goal is to exercise every day, so you need to take into account all of the items I've listed.
Is there an upcoming race/walk venue? Sign up, get a T-shirt, and enjoy the walk.
Your body will thank you.

On this page you will find general information about Sitges
For further information please don't hesitate to contact us at: Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Tel: (+34) 932 688 051 Fax: (+34) 932 688 052
Sitges has always been a place that has captivated artists, tourists and, in general, visitors from all around the world. For many, the secret lies in its light and almost 300 sunny days a year, as confirmed by the painters, sculptors and writers who made this town their home during the late 19th century.
The fact is that nature has indeed been extremely generous to us and Sitges is also privileged to be located on the Mediterranean coast at the very foot of the Garraf Massif. Culturally speaking, its legacy is extraordinary; here art is alive and traditions are upheld with a modern outlook. Sitges has preserved important medieval references as well as others from the old fishing and farming town it once was, offering visitors a valuable architectural heritage. Moreover, the town enjoys a very cosmopolitan character thanks to its population's heterogeneity, with residents of more than 70 different nationalities living together side by side. But now it's time to look to the future, while never forgetting our roots, and 21st century Sitges is based on innovation and creativity. Sitges wishes to continue to be an attractive, seductive town, and to achieve this, we are working in three intertwining areas: tourism, creativity and art.
Sitges, situated just south of Barcelona, belongs to the Garraf region and is surrounded by sea and mountains, along 18 km of Mediterranean coast, most of which is made up of beaches. Its Passeig Marítim, or seafront Esplanade, is more than 3 km long, from the Baluard (Bastion), a spectacular natural viewpoint, to the Terramar residential area. Sitges has a surface area of 43.7 km2, stands at an altitude of 10 meters and lies 35 kilometers south of Barcelona, which is in easy reach by highway, motorway and train. The Barcelona Prat International Airport is just 15 km away. Sitges' situation at the southern edge of the Garraf Massif, a calcareous rock mountain range that constitutes a natural barrier, blocks the cold northern winds. This exceptional location makes it possible for the town to enjoy its very own microclimate, with mild summers and winters, an average temperature of 18.7ºC (65.7ºF) and more that 300 sunny days a year.
Visiting the Garraf Nature Reserve is a magnificent opportunity to enjoy an exotic, rocky landscape with numerous subterranean cavities formed by the water's action on the calcareous stone, furrowed by dry gullies embedded in this rocky area.
Undoubtedly one of Sitges' main attractions are its beaches, where getting in touch with nature while mixing with the locals allows you to get to know the Sitgetans' character a little better.
A total of 17 beaches stretch out along Sitges' coast, each with its own personality and providing all the services needed to offer maximum comfort. The unique character of each beach gives them completely different atmospheres.
Sitges and the Garraf region are an ideal setting for active tourism, because the sea and the mountains are the best environment for nautical and adventure activities, to discover nature and practice all different types of sports. Sea-related activities can be done in Sitges thanks to its 17 beaches and its marinas: Aiguadolç, Garraf and Port Ginesta, the largest in Catalonia. Added to this are all the imaginative and exciting activities proposed by the Sitges Active Tourism Club. This group of specialized companies and institutions organize trekking, environmental and educational itineraries plus thematic routes around the Garraf Nature Reserve. The Reserve's interpretation center also offers different activities to get acquainted with the area, including some designed for the handicapped. But Sitges is also deservedly famous for its nighttime leisure, with its paradigmatic May First Street, better known as Sin Street. And many bars, pubs and discos where you can choose the type of music you like the most.
Sitges celebrates its traditional festivals intensely and with a very high level of local participation. It also invites visitors to participate and experience them like other Sitgetans.

Heat broiler. On two baking sheets, toss broccoli, chickpeas, and garlic with oil; season with salt. Broil 2 minutes, then flip broccoli and continue to broil until leaves are crisp and stems tender, about 2 minutes more. Broil one tray at a time if your oven can't accommodate both.
Serve topped with ricotta and red pepper flakes.
Add lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil.
Not good =( I tried this recipe last night and the mixture of textures and flavors wasn't my thing. The chickpeas are grainy and so is the ricotta, so a big part of the dish was in really mushy. The broccoli rabe came out okay but it takes WAY more than 2 minutes of broil on each side (5+min per side). I wouldn't personally recommend or make this dish again - just my experience though. If anyone else has made it and loved it, I'd like to know what tweaks to the recipe you made (if any!)

Looks excellent, i've been waiting for a long time for a new arcade style space shooter. Plus it has mechs and everyone knows mechs are badass.
I will be buying this.
Peter locks on to his target in this review of space combat game, Strike Suit Zero.
Looks excellent, i've been waiting for a long time for a new arcade style space shooter. Plus it has mechs and everyone knows mechs are badass.
I will be buying this.
I actually don't want to buy this game at all. Not because of the gameplay, but because of whose side you are on. I would have liked it better if you were a colonist fighting against the United Bullies.
@monstachruck Oh I don't know. Starcraft 2 has done a great job with their cutscene advertisement. Those days aren't over at all. BUT Dead Island was pretty misleading in it's initial trailer that was much much better than the actual game was. Dead Island was "okay" to me, but wow, had they made a game that lived up to the trailer, they would have had a real piece of artwork on their hands.
The game was fun until the suit mode came up. Terrible mode, they completely failed to make the suit O.P as it should be. The game is even more difficult with the suit. Epic fail: 5.0
7.5, 7.5 everywhere! (Seriously, GameSpot is rating a lot of games with the score 7.5 when 2013 started)
This game made me think of the famous anime "Gundam Wing" - but there was a team of mechs working together in that story. And the plotline and character development justified the combat in the anime.
I might pick this up at a steep discount, but without a plot or meaningful characters...it holds little interest for me.
Don't like the reviewer throwing names like Wing Commander or X-Wing randomly around like that one bit. This is an arcade shooter, not a real space sim, that's all.
Why are they peddling this console-slop to PC players is even more puzzling.
Wake me up when X Rebirth, Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous come around.
This game looks like it could be really fun. The visuals and scale are quite impressive.
Looks like grade A 'meh' to me. I think I'll stick to Omega Boost and the Star Wars fighter games.
This looked interesting...until the ship turned into some sort of transformer/mech thingy.
We can hear the sound of lasers firing, the ships moving, things exploding and so on, when there's no medium for the propagation of sound waves in space.
Even when watching Star Wars I kept thinking about this. It's uncomfortable.
Strike Suit Zero looks great though.
The game is good, haven't played a decent space shooter/sim since Freelancer, and looks good too, but if it would have had the option to do barrel rolls, it would've been a great game. I tryed it with a gamepad but there are some stupid bugs trying to configure the controls. Still mouse+keyboard is the best option for this kind of game.
I do seem a little confused-- why a walking mech as a spaceship? Do you ever walk on anything?
They need to patch in a checkpoint system that auto saves every 5 or 10 minutes, problem solved.
Great, now I'm really dying to see Zone of Enders 3. Thanks a lot for reminding me of the torturous wait Hideo Kojima is putting us through... :-/
Think I'll buy this, it's stupidly cheap on Steam now.
But no this isn't a Space sim, it's more of a space arcade shooter in the same veins as Gradius.
Now, Star Citizen is the upcoming Space Sim to wait for, glad I put my money in it, there's also Elite Dangerous, both games are looking to employ Newtonian physics.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/324207671016685/...plzz join in this group...its all about games discussion...
No barrel roll? Then how can I do a barrel roll? .. I know! By doing a barrel roll! By god, that's just crazy enough to work!
@isahunt I have to 'third' the objection to your characterization of this game as console slop. This game is in the same vein as Descent, Freespace, Freespace 2, and DEFINITELY Wing Commander. It is a genre called "Space Shooter", not "Space Simulation". The games you're waiting on are Space Sims, where you can trade, fly in a sandbox universe, and so forth. Space Shooters put you in a war. Freelancer, in my opinion, was the best hybrid of the two genres. While Freespace 2 is hands down the best Space Shooter IMHO.
@isahunt this is a pc game through and through. it isnt console slop. But it isnt a space sim like tie fighter i agree. Why even compare this to the Xseries though ... not even in the same boat. Apples to oranges.
@isahunt Because PC players kickstarted this. Don't blame the devs for "peddling this console-slop" when it was PC players who asked for it in the first place. You may not be interested in it. I understand, because I'm not either. But it's presumptuous for you to present your statement as though you know what all PC players want. If you wonder why some people call PC gamers elitists... it's due to people like you -_-
@fend_oblivion Realism has a place in games? Entertainers and Realists are always in conflict. Guns don't hardly make any noise in a desert (sand absorbs sound) - yet you'll never see a quiet desert gunshot in a movie. I usually seek out movies, music, games (entertainment) when I want to avoid reality. Life already has plenty of realism. There is nothing wrong with a relaxing hour of fantasy occasionally.
@willzihang The idea is that the "vehicle" would be more agile if it was shaped like a mech instead of a jet. For those times when it needs to ditch forward speed for moving side to side quickly or whatever.
I think it's a bit silly myself, and have since back playing older Robotech games with the same concept.
@willzihang I don't get it either. Also, I know it's space and all, but it seems like there are no other environments at all! Not even asteroid belt or nebula or anything really.
There is Yaw, Pitch and Roll in the game and its easy to bind them to the axis of your choice. This game will not have you reaching for your Pedals and HOTAS, - but it does feel pretty good with a gamepad.
@JustPlainLucas You say that, but unless I missed it or the player of this footage isn't that accomplished with flight games, I didn't see the ships perform anything that would suggest roll is even a function of the controls.
@AgentMothman95 @willzihang It actually puts me off the game to be honest-- to me it just seems incredibly childish to just shove in a 'cool' mech in a space game, seemingly just for the sake of it.
@CloudXentar @willzihang @AgentMothman95 maybe they plan to make it walk on bigger ships or platforms, could suggest that
The game is fun for few hours, but honestly the uninteresting characters and story that goes through cams becomes rather dull. I expected this to be somewhat like Freelancer but it's not. And yeah, it's just one ''mech''. Back to Zone of Enders and Macross I guess...

Since 2002, Conservation International (CI) has been working in China, collaborating with governments, local communities, businesses and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to realize ambitious but achievable conservation targets. Our program in China involves field demonstrations, policy initiatives and capacity building. Striking a balance between maintaining China's natural splendor and achieving economic growth is the key to China's conservation efforts. Over the past eight years, we have had several successes that demonstrate our ability to design and implement conservation models that can work for biodiversity and people alike. These models, built upon a strong foundation of science, are the basis for scaling-up efforts to conserve ecosystems for the benefit of people.
CI has worked with partners to bring the value of ecosystem services to people through a variety of efforts. Specifically, we are implementing the first reforestation project accepted under the Kyoto Protocol in China. This project is capturing the global value of carbon and delivering it directly to China. This work is benefitting species in addition to people because the reforestation area is important habitat for Pandas and Golden Monkeys, among others.
In addition, CI has pioneered the first freshwater Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) project in China. We launched two groundbreaking studies on the topic, one in the World Heritage City of Lijiang and the other in the Yujiashan Nature Reserve. The former aimed to find an efficient method to provide social, economic and ecological protection for water resources. The results of this study will inform policy makers by providing data on ecosystem service value and the willingness of the public, especially tourists, to pay for these ecosystem services. The latter study laid the groundwork for developing PES projects by demonstrating a viable long-term conservation financing model. This is important because the Yujiashan Nature Reserve serves both as habitat for the endangered Giant Panda and as the only source of drinking water for the 28,000 people of Pingwu County.
At the local level, we are working with local communities on incentive-based conservation projects in the Mountains of Southwest China. This initiative brings the value of intact ecosystems to local people by providing important development benefits to those that commit to conserving natural areas. This grassroots effort is yet another example of how innovative mechanisms can be developed to bring economic benefits to people doing the work of conservation.
In addition to developing successful demonstration models, CI-China is working with the State Oceanic Administration on seascape conservation as well as interfacing with Chinese government agencies such as the National Development and Reform Commission to incorporate conservation into national development goals.
These efforts could not be accomplished without the strong collaboration of a variety of partners. In an effort to amplify our work, we have encouraged the creation and development of local conservation NGOs. By working with local and national civil society groups, we are able to support grassroots initiatives that have the potential to create significant positive change in China.

This fear is partly based on the Taliban's own lack of education, Yousafzai said. And, she said, world leaders should "change their strategic policies" to press for peace and ensure that children's and women's rights are protected.
"We call upon all governments to ensure free, compulsory education -- all around the world for every child."
Yousafzai presented Ban, the U.N. secretary-general, with a petition signed by nearly 4 million people in support of the 57 million girls and boys around the world who are denied education.
In October, six men were arrested in connection with the attack on Malala and the other schoolchildren who were on the bus as they headed home from school.
All of the men were released from jail because of a lack of evidence against them. The one named as the primary suspect, identified by police as Atta Ullah Khan, a 23-year-old man from the Swat district, remains on the run, authorities told CNN.
Khan was studying for a master's degree in chemistry.

There's a Finnish power trio operating under the Superchrist moniker, but I'd hate to see what would happen if they went toe-to-steel-toe with these Chicago natives. The Superchrist behind Holy Shit has been around for quite some time, and their thrashy traditional sound has assaulted eardrums for six albums' worth of material. Their style is distinctly old school, and comparisons to Motorhead are sure to come to mind. There's not a sad-eyed ballad to be found amongst the ten tracks of Holy Shit, and while these songs may not appeal to the more "cerebral" metalheads, Superchrist's entertaining blend of rock and early metal is worth a listen for those who'd rather pound back some brews and bang their heads, rather than gaze solemnly at their shoes.
The production isn't fantastic, but it does the job, and after a few drinks I doubt there'll be many complaints about the placement of drums in the mix. The aspect about this band I most enjoy is their sincerity. It's one thing to act like you're old school, it's another thing entirely to create convincing music that sounds straight out of that era. Superchrist succeeds admirably at this, and in a land where bands of teenagers try to shout about the "good old days", it's refreshing to hear this trio create music that comes from a believable place.
Each song packs a punch (though some hit harder than others), and songs like "Run to the Night", "Hot Tonight" and "Beer Metal" are anthemic and infectious. I'm kicking myself for not seeing these guys live, because I'm sure it would've been a raucous adventure. While the lyrics aren't exactly exploring uncharted territory, they encapsulate the "booze, women, and brass knuckles" lifestyle perfectly. There are no flashy drum solos, and the riffs are boisterous rather than bludgeoning. The guitar solos are a fine melodic blend of shred and instinct, and vocalist/bassist Chris Black has a rough and ready voice that fits in perfectly with the tattered leather and cheap whiskey atmosphere created on Holy Shit. Structurally, the songs don't vary much, but the album barely clocks in at thirty minutes, and the repetition is forgivable and easy to overlook.
Is Superchrist trying to reinvent the wheel? No, but Holy Shit provides a hell of a ride. Let your hair down, throw on your boots, and see if the night finds you in the thick of a dive bar brawl.

Judging by the names on many of the political T-shirts, however, most of those in the audience were looking forward to the second debate of the evening.
"Obviously from the look of the T-shirts, you're all here tonight to hear the congressional debate," U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Marietta) said to the standing-room only crowd as he was met with a roar of laughter. "Me thinks there's a race or two going on in Cherokee County of somewhat importance."
Despite the overwhelming support for the race for Board of Education chairman, the three Republican candidates vying for the Congressional seat kicked off the evening focusing mostly on health care, jobs and tax reform.
Gingrey's challengers in the July 31 primary are certified public accountant William Llop and Michael Opitz, who is best known as the founder and past president of The Madison Forum. In the general election, the winner will face Democrat Patrick Thompson of Roswell, a sales manager.
"The chairman of the local school board is tremendously important," Gingrey said. "But this race, folks, you know is hugely important."
Gingrey noted that the 11th Congressional District will now include all of Cherokee and Bartow, a large portion of Cobb and a small portion of Fulton. He said Cherokee now has double the number of residents than when he previously represented the county 12 years ago as a state Senator.
After the Supreme Court ruling to uphold Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Gingrey said his goal will be to continue to end the legislation and come back with more "meaningful" reform.
Gingrey said the Republicans have fought hard to repeal the Affordable Care Act and in its place would work to extend COBRA coverage as well as tax breaks given to employers to all individual proprietors.
As to what health care plans should cover, the idea of the free market ruled among all of the candidates.
"I say let the market decide," Gingrey said in response to whether alternative medicine should be covered. "If (health care companies) want to provide that as part of their coverage ... then let the individual go out there and purchase that."
Gingrey said individuals should also be able to purchase out-of-state health care.
"Rather than Obamacare, (my plan) would be to let individuals not be confined to purchase health insurance within their own state (and) let them be able to go online — kind of like an exchange, yes — and look and see what's available … If that unique policy is available to them somewhere else, I think they should have that right."
Opitz said he was concerned with the cost of health care when comparing states.
"When we look at health care by the states, we see that some have better health care, less expensive health care programs than Georgia," Opitz said. "We should be able to go in those states and buy from them. What most people haven't been told is that when you do that, that becomes interstate commerce and falls under the federal government."
Opitz said this process then requires the federal government to become involved with regulation. He also raised concerns that while some states elect their insurance commissioner, others appoint someone to the position.
Llop agreed with the previous statements about repealing the Affordable Care Act and allowing Georgians to purchase health care across state lines, and added he thought each individual should control his or her insurance policies.
"Big business, these group plans, these government employee health insurance plans — that's the problem," Llop said. "We need to take control of your own health insurance policy just like you do with your automobile."
When asked about what would best spur economic growth in the nation, Gingrey said his focus on repealing the health care ruling would enhance the free market by removing the individual health care plan mandates that would cost a $200,000 fine per employee if the company failed to provide a health care plan.
"Unfortunately, many of these companies are holding back on hiring because that requirement doesn't kick in until you hire that 50th employee," Gingrey said. "This is one of the most important things. Get rid of Obamacare, replace it with market-based, meaningful health care reform so these employers, large and small companies all across the country, can begin hiring again."
Opitz, who identifies himself as a constitutional conservative, said his focus is on bringing manufacturing jobs back to the 11th District.
"I understand manufacturing and understand that manufacturing is the foundation of our country's wealth, our financial and economic stability, and it's the social fabric that holds our country together," Opitz said.
Opitz said he will not be a "quiet voice" in Congress.
"I'm going to help those people in Congress understand what they have done to de-industrialize our great nation," Opitz said.
Llop said he works with small businesses every day and often hears from his clients what their problems are in investing in their business.
"We talk about Obamacare … we talk about so many things that could happen, that can happen," Llop said. "My point is to enact reform — streamline the tax code and we will get immediate jobs."
Opitz said he is a strong supporter of the Fair Tax. "We need to get rid of the Progressive Income Tax that has been with us since 1913.What we need to do is tax consumption. Make us much more competitive in world trade and bring back jobs. It will put us back on the road to prosperity but we must get with the Progressive Tax."
Llop and Gingrey agreed, with Gingrey adding he'd like to bring the corporate tax rate down to "make (the U.S.) competitive once again."
"We have one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world," Gingrey said. "How do you compete with the Chinas and the Indias and these third-world nations? Tax reform has to be done, mainly flatter and simpler."
Gingrey was asked by an audience member about his vote on the Budget Control Act last year, which effectively raised the nation's debt ceiling last year so the federal government would not default on its loans. The audience member questioned why Gingrey voted for the measure, but Gingrey said he voted against the act.
"I voted against the Budget Control Act that created the super committee that caused sequestration because there was nothing in that final bill about a balanced budget amendment requirement," Gingrey said. "This congressman voted no."
He said he also voted against the measure because it also cut $600 billion from the Department of Defense as well as cutting discretionary and mandatory spending.
"(President Barack Obama) had already cut $350 billion out of our weapons system," Gingrey said. "You can't hollow out the military."
Each candidate also agreed there is a desperate need for Social Security reform.
"We have to make sure that people — the younger folks coming up — have a savings account that will take care of them into their older age. Social security is not going to do it," Opitz said.
Llop said social security needs to be there for people who sell their homes in their 60s and 70s, but as an annuity — not as an investment in a stock market.
"This is a guarantee for the people that have the least," Llop said. "This is the last effort for people who are truly less fortunate."
Llop said he knew the number of people relying solely on Social Security was rising and said it was now "around 9 percent."
Gingrey said both Social Security and Medicare are two programs many seniors depend on.
"I wish he was right," Gingrey said of his challenger's figures. "I think the percentage is much, much higher than that."
Among elderly Social Security beneficiaries, 23 percent of married couples and about 46 percent of unmarried persons rely on Social Security for 90 percent or more of their income, according to the U.S. Social Security Administration.
Gingrey said most people are advised to save for the future, but haven't been able to do so and have to rely almost totally on these programs, that he said are "desperately underfunded."
"In this economy, they can't (save)," Gingrey said.
All candidates said they support the Personhood Amendment, which will be voted on by all Georgia Republican to grant "personhood" status to all human beings from conception. The ballot question will appear on the July 31 Republican primary ballot.
When the candidates were allowed to ask each other questions, Llop asked whether Opitz voted for himself when he cast his ballot earlier that day and, if not, why he chose to run in the 11th District.
Opitz revealed he does not live in the district.
"This is no secret," Opitz said. "I live in the 6th District in Cobb County. I've lived there for years."
Opitz said when he wins the election, he will move to the 11th District.
In a question to Gingrey, Llop said the Affordable Care Act had been voted on 33 times in the House of Representatives and questioned what Gingrey would do differently, if re-elected, to get the entire measure overturned.
Gingrey said only two votes have been taken in the House of Representatives to completely repeal the health care act.
"The other 30 votes to repeal were for individual aspects of the bill," Gingrey said. "Those things we have voted (on) to repeal different pieces. We did, in fact, get some Democratic support for the most onerous provisions of Obamacare. I'll vote 33 times 33 to get rid of this monstrosity of a legislation," Gingrey said.

By Mayo Clinic staffA computerized tomography (CT) coronary angiogram is an imaging test to look at the arteries that supply your heart muscle with blood. Unlike a traditional coronary angiogram, CT angiograms don't use a catheter threaded through your blood vessels to your heart. Instead, a coronary CT angiogram relies on a powerful X-ray machine to produce images of your heart and heart vessels. CT angiograms don't require the recovery time needed with traditional angiograms. Coronary CT angiograms are becoming a common option for people with a variety of heart conditions.
CT angiograms will expose you to a small amount of radiation. If you have known coronary artery disease, a traditional coronary angiogram may be a better option, since you can also receive treatment for your artery blockages during a traditional coronary angiogram.

Babylon 5: TKO
Garibaldi tries to interfere when an old friend prepares to participate in the "Mutai", a deadly nonhuman Martial Arts combat. Elsewhere, Ivanova comes to grips with her father's death with the help of Rabbi Koslov (Theodore Bikel). Fans of Harlan Ellison will enjoy the fleeting in-joke involving Ivanova's reading preferences, while boxing devotees should take note of the name of the character played by guest star Greg McKinney. Originally telecast on May 25, 1994, TKO was written by Lawrence G. DiTillio. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Beverly Hills Cop III

Add Beverly Hills Cop III to top of Queue
The third entry in the popular Beverly Hills Cop series finds Detroit cop Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) returning yet again to Southern California, this time on the trail of two car thieves turned murderers. As he teams up again with L.A. cop Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), Foley's investigation leads him to Wonder World, a theme park that is also the front for a major counterfeiting ring. More action and less wit are the trademarks of this film, which features Murphy dishing out his usual wisecracks, but with less flair and freshness than in the original film. Alan Young plays the old man who runs the amusement park, an interesting setting that still adds little to the tired premise. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Bloodfist III: Forced to Fight
Action hero Don "The Dragon" Wilson appears in this third, quickie sequel to Bloodfist. Wilson plays Jimmy Boland, who has been sentenced to a California maximum-security prison for a murder that he didn't commit. When he sees some black prison inmates sodomizing his friend, he flies into a rage and kills the gang leader. The prison warden, in an effort to do Jimmy in, transfers him to the black wing of the prison, where he is sure the black prisoners will dispatch him quickly. This looks to be a safe bet, since the gang member Jimmy had killed was a drug supplier to Blue, the leader of the black prison gang. Wheelhead, a white inmate and leader of a group of white supremacists, takes Jimmy under his wing and offers Jimmy support if he joins the gang. Jimmy refuses, preferring to stay neutral. Meanwhile, Jimmy warms up to his cellmate Stark (Richard Roundtree), and Stark invites Jimmy to join a multi-racial group of prisoners who tend the rooftop prison garden. Jimmy has managed to maintain his neutrality, but at a price. Now both Blue and Wheelhead want to see him dead. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Top-notch action sequences and exciting stunt work highlight this fast-moving thriller. John Kruger (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a top agent in the U.S. Marshalls' Witness Protection Program; it's his job to "erase" the pasts of Federal witnesses under his watch and deal with anyone who tries to hurt them. Kruger's latest assignment is to protect Lee Cullen (Vanessa Williams), who while working for a major weapons manufacturing firm discovered evidence that the company was selling new, high-tech weapons to intentional terrorists groups with the cooperation of a faction of enemy agents within the United States government. However, when Kruger discovers that the Witness Protection Program has a rat in the house -- and that rat is his boss, U.S. Marshall Robert Deguerin (James Caan) -- Kruger has to guard his own life while trying to protect Lee's. The supporting cast is highlighted by James Coburn, Robert Pastorelli, and James Cromwell. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Money Train

Add Money Train to top of Queue
A pair of New York City cops collaborate on a plan to rob a cash-packed subway train in this action-comedy. Charlie (Woody Harrelson) and John (Wesley Snipes) are not just co-workers and close friends but also foster brothers. Because of this family connection, the reluctant John becomes involved in the more capricious Charlie's far-fetched scheme to rob the "money train" that collects the subway's daily grosses. Charlie needs the money for gambling debts, and robbing the train would have the added benefit of angering Charlie's and John's harsh, corrupt boss Captain Patterson (Robert Blake). Romantic interest is provided by a fellow police officer (Jennifer Lopez) who sparks rivalry between the brothers, but the film's main interest is in the violent events that surround the attempted heist, which naturally proves more complicated than planned. The film attempts to capitalize on the chemistry between Snipes and Harrelson, who had previously had a hit comedy with White Men Can't Jump (1992), but Joseph Ruben's unexceptional direction and a bland screenplay by Doug Richardson and David Loughery make the film less distinctive than its predecessor. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Add Mortal Kombat to top of Queue
Three reluctant fighters are drafted for an intergalactic martial-arts tournament that will determine the fate of the human race in this special-effects-driven adventure. Inspired by the popular and notoriously bloody video game, Mortal Kombat provides a semblance of a plot as an excuse for rampant mayhem, with the evil alien forces challenging humanity to a kung fu battle to decide the Earth's fate. Following the failure of several previous human defenders, mankind's last chance lies with egotistical action film star Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby), tough but beautiful special agent Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson), and vengeance-minded hero Liu Kang (Robin Shou). Under the guidance of inspirational sorcerer Lord Rayden (Christopher Lambert), this unlikely trio faces off against a series of terrifying alien adversaries. As in the video game, the martial arts battles are the true point, with standard fighting combining with magical touches supplied by computer-generated effects. The dramatic content often resembles a Saturday morning cartoon, but Jonathan Scott Carlson's appropriately dank production design and the visually spectacular battle sequences made the film a hit amongst younger fantasy-action fans, spawning a sequel and a TV show. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Add Navy SEALs to top of Queue
This exercise in patriotic, high-tech action centers on a select group of Navy commandos and their battles against a Middle East terrorist group. This particular squadron is led by a pair of rivals: cocky, fiery Hawkins (Charlie Sheen) and stoic, unflappable Curran (Michael Biehn). When an anti-terrorist mission goes awry, allowing an enemy leader to escape with a supply of stolen American missiles, both men are certain that, given another chance, they can redeem themselves and the squad. Their rivalry plays out against a background of high-powered amphibious battles, allowing the film to revel in dangerous stunts and advanced weaponry. Joanne Whalley-Kilmer provides brief romantic relief as a journalist with important information, but the focus remains on the macho interplay between Hawkins and Curran. Co-written by former Navy Seal Chuck Pfarrer (with Gary Goldman), the film presents authentic details about the elite unit, but the bulk of Navy Seals tends to rely on familiar combat film conventions. Viewers seeking rapidly paced action sequences will not be disappointed, though other viewers may be less likely to overlook the predictable storyline and routine characters. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

British filmmaker Peter Yates directs Suspect, a suspenseful courtroom drama set in Washington, D.C. After a Supreme Court justice commits suicide and a Justice Department secretary is found dead, a deaf-mute homeless veteran, Carl Wayne Anderson (Liam Neeson), is the suspected killer. Lonely yet dedicated public defender Kathleen Riley (Cher) is assigned to the case to represent Anderson. Suave lobbyist Eddie Sanger (Dennis Quaid) is on the jury, but he starts his own investigation by finding clues that prove Anderson's innocence. He shares his information with Kathleen, even though they could get arrested for talking about the case. Eventually, they develop a romance and reveal a conspiracy that leads to a twist ending. The mysterious conclusion involves a final courtroom scene presided over by Judge Matthew Helms (played by character actor John Mahoney, who would go on to co-star on the sitcom Frasier). ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Vietnam War Story: The Last Days
This "feature film" is comprised of scenes from the six-part sequel to the 1987 TV series Vietnam War Story. Each self-contained playlet involves one or more members of the American forces which occupied Southeast Asia in the 1960s. The first story involves a black GI (Tim Guinee) whose kindness to a Vietnamese girl has tragic consequences. Next, a soldier (Tate Donovan) on leave discovers that the war has taken a toll on his marriage. Then we watch as a group of grunts plan to "frag" their hateful captain. This is followed by the story of a careless soldier who is separated from his comrades in the middle of the jungle. The fifth tale involves a new recruit's last night of "freedom." The film concludes with the story of two nurses--one a vet, one a greenhorn--who are united in their struggle against horrific hospital conditions. Vietnam War Story: The Last Days was originally telecast on a sporadic basis between July 20 and December 7, 1988, over the HBO pay-cable service. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I think it raises the volume of the instrument track you're playing. Don't know if it matters or what it does, if there is more than one local player...
Lawdog - "That may be the dirtiest thing anyone has ever said on here."
In the original Rock Band games, when you played a song in solo whatever instrument you are on will be accented so you can hear your part.
The setting you're refering to does this in Blitz. Whichever track you're actively playing notes on will be amplified so you can hear the part of the song you're playing.
It doesn't effect score.
