Xenonauts capitalizes on XCOM rage
2K Marin's surprise announcement of an XCOM reboot upset a number of purists. "I'd rather have something that played like X-Com ... than a generic first person shooter with the X-Com name clumsily stapled on," one of our commenters chimed in. If you agree with this sentiment, Goldhawk Interactive...

Doctors' editorial advice: Don't waste money on vitamins
In an unusually direct opinion piece, a small coterie of physicians said there is no clear benefit to taking vitamin and mineral pills for healthy Americans worried about chronic disease.
The New York Times
One in two adults takes a daily vitamin pill, and Americans spend tens of billions of dollars each year on supplements. Now, a small coterie of physicians writing in a leading medical journal has offered this blunt advice: "Stop wasting money."
In an unusually direct opinion piece, the five authors said that for healthy Americans worried about chronic disease, there is no clear benefit to taking vitamin and mineral pills. And in some instances, they may even cause harm.
The authors made an exception for supplemental vitamin D, which they said needed further research. Even so, widespread use of vitamin D pills "is not based on solid evidence that benefits outweigh harms," the authors wrote. For other vitamins and supplements, "the case is closed."
"The message is simple," the editorial continued. "Most supplements do not prevent chronic disease or death, their use is not justified, and they should be avoided."
"We have so much information from so many studies," Dr. Cynthia D. Mulrow, senior deputy editor of Annals of Internal Medicine and an author of the editorial, said in an interview. "We don't need a lot more evidence to put this to bed."
Officials at the Natural Products Association, a trade organization that represents supplement suppliers and retailers, said they were shocked by what they called "an attack" on their industry, pointing to a study published last year that found a modest reduction in overall cancers in a long, randomized, controlled trial of 15,000 male doctors.
Demand for vitamin and mineral supplements has grown markedly in recent years, with domestic sales totaling some $30 billion in 2011. More than half of Americans used at least one dietary supplement from 2003 to 2006, up from 42 percent from 1988 to 1994, according to national health surveys conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The most popular products are multivitamin and mineral supplements, which are consumed by some 40 percent of men and women in the United States, according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Pediatrics group warns against raw milk
LOS ANGELES — The American Academy of Pediatrics on Monday warned that pregnant women and children should not drink raw milk and said it supports a nationwide ban on the sale of raw milk because of the danger of bacterial illnesses.
The group's statement said it supports federal health authorities "in endorsing the consumption of only pasteurized milk and milk products for pregnant women, infants and children."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration prohibits the interstate shipment of raw milk for human consumption, though it allows transport of some clearly labeled raw cheeses.
Raw milk from cows, sheep and goats is a source of pathogens such as listeria, salmonella and E. coli — which can cause serious, even fatal, illness, the pediatricians' policy statement said.
And it contends that the benefits of raw milk "have not been clearly demonstrated in evidence-based studies" and do not outweigh the risks.

Rumor: Playstation 4 launch the 20th of February – are these the specs?
Sony might reveal the Playstation 4 on February the 20th. The company has announced a Playstation event on that day. The Wall Street Journal claims that Sony will use it to announce its next generation console. The specifications are never officially confirmed but many rumors have been floating around the internet.
From the official invitation of the Playstation event on February the 20th and the cryptic movie Sony has put up it's unclear what the event is about. But according to the Wall Street Journal the event will be used to launch the Playstation 4 which till now was code named Orbis. Undisclosed sources of the newspaper have confirmed the rumors.
The actual sales of the Playstation 4 would start this year, before the holiday season. It's expected that the Xbox 720 / Durango will also become available at that time.
The specifications of the Playstation 4 haven't been officially released but many rumors around the internet pretty much say the same thing. Here are most of the specifications compiled:
- AMD APU (quad core 2.9 Ghz CPU with AMD HD 6550 GPU integrated)
- 8 -16 GB of RAM
- Blu-ray drive
- Ethernet and Wifi
- Possible 4k / UltraHD support
- Playstation 4 games will likely be tied to the Playstation Network account to prevent second hand game trading
- Not backwards compatible with the Playstation 2
- Support for Gaikai Cloud, a service that allows you to stream games from their powerfull, so you can play high end games on your slower hardware
According to the sources of the Wall Street Journal the Playstation 4 would not mainly be a hardware upgrade. Sony would also emphasize on the 'social aspects of gaming' with the new console.

Plus, if it's a hit, then AMD will also benefit (I loathe Nvidia).

Most websites are saying this sort of thing now
CPU: Orbis contains eight Jaguar cores at 1.6 Ghz, arranged as two "clusters"
And I am sure I have read that the second hand game restriction was not going to be in the PS4 on release (cannot find a link to this at this moment in time)

PS4's in the USA will have an entire PS3 strapped inside the PS4, so they don't need to wrestle with emulation problems. It will also be 1/2 the price of the PS4's in the rest of the world, for inexplicable reasons

This pattern is from BurdaStyle February 2010. I traced it out a while back but never got around to sewing it. I love it — the fit is really nice and the length is perfect. I changed the cuff from an exaggerated french cuff (original pattern) to a simple straight cuff. One caution is that the collar stand is quite high (can accommodate two buttons) and the collar is on the larger side — great if you like dramatic collars or have the neck length to pull it off.

Generosity steers 'Stuff the Bus' campaign
Date: November 23, 2009
by: Pam Eubanks | News Editor
Manatee County residents filled the bus this weekend, donating more than 47,000 pounds of non-perishable foods to the Food Bank of Manatee County during the "Stuff the Bus" campaign.
The Manatee County School District parked school buses in the parking lots of Publix supermarkets throughout the county Nov. 21-22.
"This was a wonderful way to join with Publix and the United Way to help families in Manatee County," Manatee Schools Superintendent Tim McGonegal said. "We are proud to be part of this effort."
The response was so great that the Food Bank now is seeking volunteers to help sort the donated items. Interested volunteers should contact Carol Schechterle at 747-4655.

WASHINGTON – Government-controlled mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac posted profits for the April-June period as the U.S. housing market continued to recover. Gains in recent years have enabled them to fully repay their government aid after being rescued during the financial crisis in 2008.
Fannie Mae reported Thursday that it earned $3.7 billion in the second quarter. Washington-based Fannie will pay a dividend of $3.7 billion to the U.S. Treasury next month. With its previous payments totaling $126.7 billion, Fannie has more than fully repaid the $116 billion it received from taxpayers.
Freddie Mac posted net income of $1.4 billion for the latest quarter. Freddie, based in McLean, Virginia, will pay a dividend of $1.9 billion to the government. Freddie will have paid $88.2 billion in dividends, exceeding its full government bailout of $71.3 billion.
Freddie had fully repaid as of last year's third quarter, and Fannie as of the fourth quarter.
The government rescued Fannie and Freddie at the height of the crisis in September 2008 when both veered toward collapse under the weight of losses on risky mortgages. Together the companies received taxpayer aid totaling $187 billion.
The gradual recovery of the housing market has made Fannie and Freddie profitable again. Their repayments of the government loans helped make last year's federal budget deficit the smallest in five years.
U.S. home prices have risen steadily since housing began to recover in 2012. But home prices remain about 17 percent below the peaks reached in the summer of 2006, just before the housing market bust.
And while sales of existing homes have picked up, new-home sales plummeted in June. New-home construction has fallen for two straight months. That could lead to fewer construction jobs.
Fannie's $3.7 billion earnings in the second quarter were down 63 percent from $10.1 billion in the same period of 2013. Increases in home prices slowed sharply in the April-June period from a year earlier, reducing its income, the company said.
Freddie's $1.4 billion net income declined 72 percent from $5 billion in the second quarter of 2013. Its earnings can vary widely because of changes in the value of its holdings of derivatives, investments used to hedge against swings in interest rates.
Under a federal policy, Fannie and Freddie must turn over their entire net worth above $2.4 billion in each quarter to the Treasury. Fannie and Freddie said their net worth in the first quarter was $6.1 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively.
Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee about half of all U.S. mortgages, worth about $5 trillion. Along with other federal agencies, they back roughly 90 percent of new mortgages.

Nonslip House Socks
Slip no more on those tile floors!
This is a pretty easy project that just requires a LOT of dry time.
I like neat socks, but I don't like the way my feet slide around on the kitchen floor when I'm not wearing shoes. This is a quick fix to a favorite pair of socks that you only wear around the house.

Step 1
Put your socks on a flat surface. You will want to lay them out in such a way that the entire bottom of the foot is facing you.
Step 2
Shake your fabric paint well. Paint your design on the bottom of your socks (work on one at a time so you don't risk smearing the paint). You will want to keep the paint puffy or it might not grip well.
Step 3
Let your socks dry for a few hours. To help speed the drying process, you can use a hair dryer on high/hot. It's a good idea to allow for a full drying period before wearing them.
After they're totally dry, try them out!

US President Barack Obama at Democratic Convention 370 (R).
(photo credit:Jim Young / Reuters)
WASHINGTON – Given the state of the economy, by any historical standard, Barack
Obama should be 15 points behind Mitt Romney. Why is he tied? The empathy gap.
On "caring about average people," Obama wins by 22 points. Maintaining that gap
was a principal goal of the Democratic convention. It's the party's only hope of
winning in November.George H.W. Bush, Romney-like in aloofness, was once
famously handed a staff cue card that read: "Message: I care." That was supposed
to be speech guidance. Bush read the card. Out loud.Not surprisingly, he
lost to Bill Clinton, a man who lives to care, who feels your pain better than
you do – or at least makes you think so. In politics, that's a trivial
distinction.On Wednesday night, Clinton vouched for Obama as a man
"who's cool on the outside but who burns for America on the inside." Nice
phrase, but not terribly persuasive.The real job of Clintonizing Obama
was left to Mrs. Obama. As she told it in the convention's most brilliantly
cynical speech, her husband is not just profoundly compassionate but
near-Gandhiesque in feelings.Others spoke about what Obama had done.
Michelle's job was to provide the why: because he cares. Her talk was a
syllogism: Barack loves his wife, he loves his children, he loves his family –
therefore, he loves you.I have no doubt about the first three
propositions, but the fourth is a complete non sequitur. We were assured,
nonetheless, that the president is a saintly man, dispensing succor – health
care (with free contraceptives), auto bailouts, fairness lawsuits – to his
people. The flood of tears in the hall testified to the power of this spousal
paean. Its brilliance lay in Michelle's success in draining from Obama
any hint of ideological or personal motivation.The problem with
swallowing the "he cares, therefore he does" line is that it so plainly
contradicts what we've seen over the last four years. Barack Obama is a deeply
committed social-democrat who laid out an unashamedly left-liberal agenda at the
very beginning of his presidency and then proceeded to try to enact
it.Obama passed Obamacare, regulated Wall Street, subsidized Solyndra
because that fits an ambitious left-wing agenda developed in his youth, now made
possible by his power: redistributionist, government-centered, disdainful of
success, suspicious of private enterprise, committed to his own vision of social
justice.Also missing from her speech was any hint of his outsized
self-regard and personal ambition. Is he pursuing re-election because he cares?
Or because it's the ultimate vindication of the self-created man who came from
nowhere to seize the prize? And whom defeat would turn into a historical
parenthesis?In 2008, Obama tellingly said that Ronald Reagan was historically
consequential in a way that Bill Clinton was not. Obama clearly sees himself as
the anti-Reagan, the man who reverses the 30-year conservative trajectory that
Reagan launched (hence his consequentiality), and returns America to the 50-year
liberal ascendancy that FDR began and Reagan terminated.This makes you
world-historical. This is what drives the man who kept inserting the phrase "New
Foundation" in the major speeches he gave in the early months of his presidency.
The slogan was meant to make him the rightful heir to the authors of the "New
Deal" and "New Frontier."The phrase never took. But the ambition was
unmistakable.All this does not make Obama either bad or unique among
presidents. But it does give lie to the lachrymose portrayal of him as the good
family man writ large, presiding kindly over his flock.His pledge in
2008 of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America" speaks to the
largeness of both his ideology and his self-regard. That's the far more
plausible explanation of his drive to win, characterized by a ruthless
single-mindedness that undid the Clintons in 2008 (and at times unhinged Bill)
and that has so relentlessly demonized Romney in 2012.The millions of
dollars devoted to that demonization account for some of that 22-point "empathy
gap." Michelle's soap-opera depiction of her husband as a man so infused with
goodness that it spills over onto his grateful subjects was meant to maintain
the other part of that gap.I didn't buy a word of it, but as a speech,
Michelle's was very effective. After all, what else do you say when you're
running for re-election in a land – as described so chillingly the next night by
Elizabeth Warren – wracked with misery and despair?Charles Krauthammer's email

If you are like me, you get goosebumps, chills and the uncontrollable urge to nod your head when you hear a epic song for the first time. KRNDN's latest song release is one of these very cuts. Please remember to Breathe while you are listening, as we don't want to be responsible for any hospital visits—though, the way Cy Fyre's frenzied, boisterous beat knocks, a hospital visit might be inevitable. The production may be triumphant, but KRNDN still takes the spotlight with his unique, raspy flow and some witty wordplay. Guest emcee Smoke DZA, too, commands your attention, delivering some weed-themed bars in a cutting flow. Breathe is the first single off the veteran emcee's next project, a remastered deluxe edition of February's Everything's Nothing LP, due out later this month.

Report: Kanye West Got It On to Kim Kardashian Sex Tapeby Hilton Hater at . Comments
We already know Kanye West takes pride in the Kim Kardashian sex tape, crooning in a new track that his girl is a "superstar all from a home movie."
But word now comes in that the artist took a lot more than mere pride in the 2003 video Kim made with Ray J - he took sexual partners to bed with it!
According to TMZ sources (who somehow have "first-hand knowledge of the situation") West used to play Kim Kardashian Superstar in the background when he got it on with other women, a seemingly ridiculous, impossible-to-prove allegation that does actually back up another rumor about the rapper.
Based on lyrics from the single "Knock You Down," insiders claim Kanye has always had feelings for Kardashian, encouraging her to break up with Reggie Bush in 2009.
Fast forward three years and here we are: West can hit Stop on the infamous sex tape and focus on real life. Ray J and Bush's sloppy thirds are all his!
I'm going to puke, omg.. Kim, I like you, I do. I know what happens when Dad dies. I'm a lot older, and I'm telling you like an older sister. Run as fast as you can. Sex, fame fake face, ass and tits does not replace your dad's love. You need to go see a professional and straighten out "the act" Good luck doll.. and to say this again,, you know his temper and terrible manners and drunkenness? When Kanye beats you and abuses you, that won't be the only terrible thing. HE'LL FREAKEN RAP ABOUT IT. You will be all those ugly things he invents, in a song forever!!
Bonnie, you are hilarious! "Sloppy bagillions", Haaaaa!
They are like two blind people.who leads who in the right direction? A deceiver will always marry a pretender. We will still be here. Let's see the outcome.
Those two were made for each other. Together, they have millions. They can't buy class, morals, or integrty....what a couple of sleaze bags!
Are we sure it was Kim that was getting his juices flowing? Ray J has some pretty lips..just saying...
Maybe Kris Humphries was too nice to her and thats why she couldnt stay married...She likes a guy that degrades her. Alot of self respect she has for herself.
WTF??? Does/did he have a problem getting an erection, why would a young guy need a sex tape? Or were the women he was with that bleepin' frugly?
No class!!!
yep, kim is still my number two in line, folks!!

Declining defense budgets might mean there is less money for the Pentagon to buy new smart phones and tablets, but that is not stopping the military from moving forward with mobility efforts that sometimes take an unorthodox path away from the desktop.
Top Defense Department officials speaking at an AFCEA DC event in Washington on Nov. 22 all said that their mobility budgets are either flat or shrinking. But budget-cut malaise is not setting in just yet.
"We've done a good job of saving on mobile devices and wireless services, and we managed to do that without cutting devices arbitrarily or cutting capabilities," said Peter Ziomek, mobile director at the Navy Department CIO Office. "We're spending $2.5 million less on 'stuff' than we were two or two and a half years ago. We don't get to invest it in something else because the money's just not there because of budget cuts."
But Ziomek insisted that "there's a lot of room to do more with less, to take what you're doing now and translate that."
At the Marine Corps, the shift from the former Navy-Marine Corps Intranet means the service is now managing its own networks – and saving 50 percent in the process, according to Rob Anderson, chief of the vision and strategy division in the Marines' Office of the Director of Command, Control, Communications and Computers. That savings is allowing leaders there to consider creative ways to push forward with mobility.
"Do we try to go forward with something completely unique? For example...what about an IT allowance?" Anderson said. "If we have a 50 percent savings today, and we've got to replace over half of our laptops currently on the network and they haven't been refreshed in five years ... what if we were allowing the individual to replace their laptop with something they brought in but [on which] we implemented security controls? What if we give them an IT allowance to do that?"
He noted that if a laptop costs $1,200 but an IT allowance of $30 per month totals $360 a year, it could mean even more savings – and a whole new way of doing things.
"I think we have the ability to do a new approach to this and actually change the way we're not just doing mobility, but the way we do our entire internal user device," Anderson said.
Finding those new approaches will be critical to agencies seeking ways to work mobility into their budgets and into the hands of employees, according to Coast Guard Cyber Command Commander and CIO Rear Adm. Robert Day. But he noted that outdated policies that too often stand in the way of technology upgrades present a challenge.
"This is the type of thinking that's going to be required in the future," Day said. "This is the type of thought we're going to have to have. We're still using thought process of the 1970s, '80s and '90s, but these are policy changes [we need]...and that's a difficult thing to do."

Phil Edwards explains why England's World Cup dreams will not be over if they lose their next two games
If England are to have any chance of launching a successful assault on the Everest that is next year's World Cup, then the widespread feeling seems to be that they simply have to win their next two games.
Pro12 Highlights
Highlights of all the Pro12 action, including Ulster's win over the Ospreys and Treviso's draw with Leinster.
Back Ireland to continue their winning ways
It has been fairly even between Ireland and Australia in the last six meetings, three wins to Australia, two Irish victories and a draw, but recent form comes down in Ireland's favour, with eight wins from nine contrasting to Australia's three victories in nine.

STOCKTON – Abby Buitrago calmly stepped to the penalty stripe, spotting the ball and her place in Ripon Christian's storied athletic history.
ELK GROVE – Manteca's opportunity to win a first-ever girls soccer section championship slipped away after an overpowering shot by Nici Lopez found the back of the net for Christian Brothers in the 61st minute Saturday.
Three Ripon Indians competed in varsity events during Saturday's Sac-Joaquin Section swimming finals at Tokay High in Lodi, but Sierra's Scott Tolman winning a pair of frosh-soph section titles certainly turned some heads as well.
STOCKTON - They aren't as imposing as Allie Walljasper inside the pitching circle. They don't have the stuff to collect strikeouts by the dozens, nor do they have a spot reserved on an NCAA Division I program.
East Union High will have a special guest for its spring sports awards social tonight.
Manteca could potentially be two wins away from a Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV baseball championship after it knocked off Cosumnes Oaks-Elk Grove 5-2 in the opener of Saturday's best-of-three semifinal series at Lodi's Zupo Field.
STOCKTON - Friday night marked the end of an era for Sierra's softball program.
A banner season for local girls soccer culminates today with three Sac-Joaquin Section championship games at two sites.
STOCKTON – The third inning of Friday's elimination game in Sac-Joaquin Section Division V softball action with Hughson is one Ripon would like to forget.
Manteca and Sierra's baseball squads both won opening round games of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV tournament Thursday.
Ripon's Zach Scudder and Corey Winter both qualified for today's Sac-Joaquin Section swimming finals at Tokay High in Lodi.
STOCKTON - It's no big secret that Allie Walljasper has carried the load for Sierra this season.
LODI – Fortunately, for Sierra, its bats were hot early as the Timberwolves withstood five seventh-inning runs by Ceres and defeated the Bulldogs 9-6 in first-round action of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV baseball playoffs at Zupo Field.
STOCKTON – Caleb Rogers laced up his cleats and went to work Thursday during the opening round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V baseball tournament under near triple-digit temperatures.
Emma Lewis is officially the last girls' varsity swimmer still alive this season.
The weather is expected to cooperate for today's Valley Oak League rematch between Manteca and Central Catholic, which was originally postponed because of rain last Thursday.
Brooke Riley's round didn't end as well as she had hoped during East Union's Valley Oak League dual match at Oakdale Golf and Country Club on Tuesday.
Scoring was at a premium Saturday when the Manteca Jr. Timberwolves junior novice squad locked up with the Tracy Jr. Bulldogs, who prevailed 6-0 in Delta Youth Football League action.
STOCKTON - The blond streak in Esteban Paramo's hair may have started as a personal statement of style, but it's come to symbolize something much bigger.
Sierra played perfect defense from the second minute to the 78th Monday against visiting East Union.
Brooke Riley shot an even-par 37 to lead East Union's 246-288 win over Manteca at Manteca Park Golf Course. Monday's win moves the Lancers to 5-0 in the Valley Oak League.

Osho continues:
"The East is symbolic, always remember. I am not concerned with geography. So whenever I say 'we in the East,' I mean all who have come to know the inner reality. And whenever I say 'you in the West,' I simply mean the scientific mind, the technological mind, the Aristotelian mind: rational, mathematical, scientific, but not intuitive; objective but not subjective.
"Once you understand it, then there will be no problem. All the great religions were born in the East. The West has not yet produced a great religion. Christianity, Judaism, Mohammedanism, Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Tao: they were all produced in the East. It is something like a feminine mind, and it has to be so because on every level there is a meeting of yin and yang, the male and the female. The circle has to be divided. The East functions as a feminine part, the West functions as a male part.
"The male mind is aggressive; science is aggressive. The feminine mind is receptive; religion is receptive. Science tries hard. It forces nature to reveal its secrets. Religion simply waits, prays and waits, invokes but does not force; calls, cries, weeps, persuades, almost seduces nature to reveal its mysteries and secrets, but the effort is feminine. Hence, meditation. When the effort is male, aggressive, it is like the laboratory: all sorts of instruments to torture nature, to force nature to reveal its secrets, to hand over the key. The male mind is an attack. The male mind is a rapist mind, and science is a rape. Religion is the mind of a lover; it can wait. It can wait infinitely.
"So whenever I say 'we in the East,' I mean all, wherever they were born, wherever they were brought up. They are spread all over the world. The East is spread all over the world, just as the West is spread all over the world. When somebody from India gets a Nobel Prize for his scientific discoveries, he is a Western mind. He's no more part of the East, he's no more part of the Eastern tradition. He has changed his home, he has changed his address. Now he has fallen in line, in queue with Aristotle."

Early disappointments to target
Last week, I looked at some players who were fantasy All-Stars; that is, players who had accumulated their value by vastly outperforming the expectations most of us had of them at the start of the season. That's all well and good (we all need the occasional bit of validation to remind us how smart we are), but this week we'll look at some struggling players who might provide great value during the rest of the season.
Struggling players are always a great place to look for fantasy value. That's because we often make trades based mostly on what players have looked like recently. If a player has been struggling for the past two months, in most cases you'll be pretty unlikely to trade for him. However, if you can acquire a player when his value is at its absolute lowest, it is as good as drafting a player who all of the sudden becomes a stud.
What follows is a list of a few players whose current Player Rater value does not accurately reflect their potential fantasy value for the rest of the season. (Current ranking based on total accumulated stats in parentheses.)
Jeff Green, SF/PF, Oklahoma City Thunder (121): Green's average draft position heading into this season was 63.1, so the fact that he's ranked well outside the top 100 is certainly a disappointment. Never a model of efficiency, Green had decent fantasy value because he had decent numbers in steals, blocks and 3-pointers. In fact, it looked like this would be the season he finally averaged better than one in each of those categories, putting him into some elite company. This season, it's not just that Green's shooting has fallen off a cliff; he's also not blocking shots at all (down to just 0.3 per game).
However, there are some good signs. For one, Green is actually making a higher percentage of his long 2-pointers than he ever has, so there's at least a chance that it is just taking some extra time for him to find his 3-point stroke. He's also finishing better at the rim, getting to the line more and making a higher percentage of his free throws when he's there. He's struggled of late against the Lakers and the Magic (teams with the size to bother him) but had nice games against the Rockets, Grizzlies and Mavericks. I like his chances to be a top-75 fantasy player the rest of the way.
Antawn Jamison, PF, Cleveland Cavaliers (113): Perhaps because the Cavaliers have been so putrid the past few weeks, people aren't paying attention, but Jamison has been looking more and more like his old self of late, and he's putting up some pretty fantastic fantasy numbers. Specifically, in his eight games in January, he's averaged 22.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.1 3s and 1.3 steals.
That his game has improved is only part of the equation. The desperate Cavs have simply started playing Jamison more minutes (mostly because Anderson Varejao is out for the rest of the season). The risk with Jamison is that he'll get traded to a contender, but even then, his efficiency will go up and his fantasy numbers will be far better than someone who is ranked as low as he currently is. If you can trade some scraps for him, he'll provide you a legitimate scorer who knocks down a ton of 3s for someone who rebounds as well as he does.
Vince Carter, SG/SF, Phoenix Suns (111): Carter's game was definitely in the midst of a downward spiral before he was traded away from the Magic, but the desert has done him wonders. That tends to happen when you get to play alongside Steve Nash. Remarkably, Carter's game is starting to look a lot like the game of the guy he replaced, Jason Richardson.
Here were J-Rich's numbers this season before he left Phoenix: 19.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 2.5 3s and 47 percent shooting from the field. Here are Carter's numbers in his 10 games as a Sun: 18.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.6 3s and 46 percent shooting from the field. Considering the fact that Richardson is ranked almost 70 spots higher than Carter on the Player Rater, it's probably true that Carter is a bit underrated. For all his flaws, it would appear that he still has a bit to offer fantasy owners this season.
Joe Johnson, SG/SF, Atlanta Hawks (93): Most years, Johnson starts out extremely hot and then cools down as the season goes on. That's because he always plays a ton of minutes and has to carry the Hawks' backcourt defensively. This season, Johnson started out extremely cold, but the 36.2 minutes per game he's playing are his fewest since his first full season (with the Suns in 2002-03).
It's not a surprise, then, that Johnson is starting to catch fire a little halfway through the season. In his past five games (including Tuesday night's win in Miami), he's averaged 27.0 points, 6.4 assists and 4.2 rebounds -- the sort of well-rounded numbers that have made him such a great player for so long. Also encouraging is the fact that he's getting to the line significantly more often than he did last season, which would seem to mean that he's feeling good physically. Clearly, he's a far better player than his numbers so far this season would suggest, and as his field goal percentage continues to rise, so will his ranking on the Player Rater.
Darren Collison, PG, Indiana Pacers (85): Many of us had extremely high hopes for Collison this season, despite the fact that the Pacers tend to play a system that doesn't help point guards rack up big numbers. The reasons were many, but mainly it was because he had an extremely promising rookie season and was going to a team with no one in front of him in the point guard rotation.
Well, unfortunately for Collison, T.J. Ford was still getting some minutes early on in the season, and Collison has been playing fewer than 30 minutes per game for the season on the whole as a result. Of late, though, that finally seems to be changing, probably because the Pacers' staff is realizing that Ford isn't giving them anything while he's out there. Collison, meanwhile, has averaged 17.9 points, 6.6 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.9 3s and 97 percent shooting from the foul line in 33.1 minutes per game in seven January games. Those are great numbers, people, and it might be a case that you don't have to give up somebody great to get them. For instance, somebody like D.J. Augustin or Luke Ridnour might get somebody to bite, and I would all but guarantee that Collison will be more valuable than either of them the rest of the way this season. Try to get him while there's still the impression that he's underachieving.

Fincantieri launches Carnival Magic

- Written by Teijo Niemelä
On Friday at Fincantieri's Monfalcone shipyard, there was the launch of Carnival Magic, the new flagship of Carnival Cruise Lines, a brand in Carnival Corporation & PLC, the world's leading cruise operator. Delivery is due in spring 2011.
The launch was marked by the customary "coin ceremony" a tradition to bring a ship good luck in which a silver dollar is place on the ship's last deck. Godmother to the ship was Laura Buttignon who has worked for the shipyard for thirty five years.
Registering in at 130,000 gross tonnes, for a length of 306 metres with a beam of 37 the Carnival Magic is the sister ship of Carnival Dream which Monfalcone shipyard delivered a year ago. This means that in building the Carnival Magic Fincantieri will once again build the largest passenger ship in the history of Italian shipbuilding. Compared to her sister the Carnival Dream will have a larger number of cabins – 1,845 – plus 746 for the crew for a total maximum capacity of almost 6,000.
Over the next few months the Carnival Magic will be fitted out to the highest standards of comfort and prepared so as to offer her passengers a wide range of entertainment such as bars, restaurants, theatres, shops and wellness centres.
Since 1990 Fincantieri has built 55 cruise ships and a further 10 ships are under construction or scheduled to be built at Fincantieri shipyards.
