Despite what you may have heard, Team Bondi, the developer behind open-world crime game L.A. Noire, is still in business and is busy on their next game.
The title needs work, though.
The game is set in 1936 Shanghai and has the working title Whore of the Orient right now.
The title doesn't refer to any content of the game: "Whore of the Orient" is a nickname for the city of Shanghai. It came out of the fact that Shanghai is one of the largest ports in the world and in the 1930s was one of the key financial hubs worldwide.
According to the website, the plot will be familiar:
Shanghai, 1936. Whore of the Orient. Paris of the East. The most corrupt and decadent city on the planet, where anything can be had or done for the right price. Plaything of Western powers who greedily exploit the Chinese masses. Boiling pot of Chinese nationalism, with the Kuomintang ruthlessly trying to suppress Communism and the labour movement. Home to the International Police Force, a group of Western cops hopelessly trying to keep the lid on and keep the peace.
The game will be coming to next-gen platforms and PC, and will be published by Warner Bros. Interactive.
Our Take: 1930s Shanghai seems a pretty natural fit for Team Bondi, especially with their interest in hard-boiled stories. Shanghai featured a strong military presence from several countries in the '30s, including the U.S. and Japan; was rife with ethnic, social and political tensions; and it had a reputation for crime and vice that extended worldwide. Furthermore, 1936 is right on the cusp of the Japanese invasion and occupation of the city in 1937, an event we're guessing will be important towards the end of the game.
The game itself sounds a bit like Shanghai Noire, but considering the dedication to realism its spiritual successor had, that's not a bad thing.
That said, we're also not surprised that Team Bondi's site is simply calling this "Game", right now.

Radel, Diaz-Balart begin building campaign accounts for 2014 re-election
TALLAHASSEE _ Most challengers to the state's 27 U.S. House members posted light fund-raising quarters, which could require a re-evaluation of the competitiveness of some seats or a need to draw bigger-named candidates off the sidelines.
Congressional candidates faced a Monday deadline for filing second-quarter reports, for April through June, in advance of the fall 2014 election.
In the two Congressional races for Southwest Florida, U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fort Myers, raised $73,387 in his bid to retain the District 19 seat and U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Miami, added $112,963 to his campaign account between April 1 and June 30. Diaz-Balart, whose district cuts into eastern Collier County, has a total of $341,817 as he seeks re-election to District 25, according to totals on the Federal Election Commission website.
On average, the 24 incumbents whose quarterly reports were available Tuesday picked up $172,326 during the second quarter and entered the third quarter with $379,144 on hand to spend.
Challengers who have reported collecting money during the quarter on average raised $35,607. The total doesn't include the 16 people who have filed for congressional runs but enter the third quarter with no money.
Based on money raised between April 1 and June 30, two Florida congressional races already are relatively competitive — the seats held by Republican Congressmen Steve Southerland of Panama City and Bill Young of Indian Shores.
But so far, incumbents in potentially competitive districts, including Democrats Joe Garcia of Miami, Patrick Murphy of Jupiter and Alan Grayson of Orlando, and Republicans Vern Buchanan of Sarasota and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Miami, face little financial threat, despite optimism from across the political aisle.
University of Florida political science professor Dan Smith said fiscal totals are indicative of a lack of competitive seats in the state. Smith added he was most surprised that Garcia's opponents have yet to mine deep pockets of contributors.
"He's embattled right now," Smith said. "If there is an opening among Democratic incumbents, it's certainly Garcia's seat. It's a 50-50 seat and one with an incumbent with a lot of baggage right now."
Garcia has had to confront an investigation into members of his staff for alleged election violations.
Susan MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida, said the campaign finance numbers appear down from the past year in part because of the negative ratings of Congress. Also, contributors continue to have hesitancy from the recent recession to start investing in candidates in uncompetitive contests.
"I think it's just the times we're in a little bit that there is a sort of tentativeness about pouring a lot of money into campaigns," MacManus said.
The most financially competitive race is in Northwest Florida. In the District 2 battle, Democratic challenger Gwen Graham, the daughter of former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, drew $377,448 during the second quarter, the best for any Florida congressional challenger.
The quarterly number still wasn't enough to outpace two-term incumbent Southerland. He amassed $464,990 in April, May and June and also held a $476,740 to $303,956 advantage in money not yet spent as the third quarter began.
A Tampa Bay-area rematch is also shaping up to become a fiscal dogfight.
Jessica Ehrlich, a St. Petersburg attorney who failed last year to unseat Young in District 13, outraised the longtime Pinellas County Republican by a margin of $153,737 to $86,208 during the second quarter.
"The (total) that surprised me was Young's," Smith said. "Not only was that a pretty paltry amount that he raised in the quarter, but for a member of Congress with one of the greatest seniorities in Congress, it's quite little."

It's one in the morning. The sound of rain against the worn cloth that makes up my tent fights for attention with the sound of the carnival winding down outside. The laughter of children is falling to the wayside and the ring leader is finishing up his final tour of the side show. As I sit here writing, I can still smell the strong odor of cotton candy. You might think is a wonderful smell, but when you spend day in and day out amongst this rag tag group of freaks and creatures, you'll probably change your mind. It might get old for most, but it still keeps me entertained til this day. It's home, and these bearded ladies, crocodile men, and other people abashed from the world are my family.
Alright, snap back to reality. I'm actually sitting at the desk in my one bed room apartment in California, but if I had it my way I'd be in that tent amongst the odd people of the world. At this point, you might be wondering who I am. Such an off-tilt intro to an introduction article could only be offered to you by one man: Mr Gacey. The name is a good sign of what I'm into. Mostly things of the macabre and horror variety, but I do love to indulge in the realm of the geeky. But I suppose that goes without saying, otherwise I wouldn't be one of the newest members on this site.
While I may not have the largest knowledge of comic book history, I do love the medium. I've always loved comics, even though I may not have been able to buy them all the time. My earliest memory of the medium would have to be before I was nine. I remember tracking down issues of the Knightfall arc of Batman. Batman's back being broken was really my first introduction to the whole genre. I also vividly remember trading some of those issues to a friend to get the collected version of the death of Superman. What a way to enter the comic world, right?
The other big instance of finding love in the comic genre was when I discovered The Crow. Of course I had seen the movie first, which led me to experience the amazing story telling of James O'Barr. I've always dabbled in certain comics, reading some X-Men, Spider-Man, and a variety of other major titles. It was the way these stories are told that made me choose this medium as a way to tell my own stories.
I've always been able to draw, and comic books allow me the ability to tell big budget stories without having to have the cash money to back it. Who needs Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp when you can draw your own star actor for that story? Maybe you can't afford the best special effects studio to make your film all artistic and grainy, or create the visual of New York City being eaten by a rock monster, but in the comic world all you need is a good artist to create those visuals. That is why I have been drawn to the books that we read.
So what brings me to Comic Booked? When I saw that they were seeking writers, I just had to throw my hat in the ring. While drawing is my first passion, I'm also a writer. The ability to create a visual with words is just as exciting as creating a visual with my art. So I've been accepted among a group of amazing people who encourage and support each other. It gives me a reason to read more of the books I love and transfer my enjoyment to other people. Comic Booked allows me to read comics, play video games, review movies, and any other fun and creative things that might spring to my twisted little mind. The great thing about it all is that the team is more than supportive. So how could anyone turn down the chance to be a part of this website?
The next question you have to ask is what can you expect from the guy with the twisted make up and the creepy name? A lot. Though I tend to dwell in the realm of horror, I'm so much more then that. I do read the cute comics, the super heroes. I play the action games where you can put a sniper shot through your fellow players head from behind a wall during, but you can't count out the ones that involve an Italian plumber, or a fluffy pink ball that likes to inhale random objects for power.
So I guess the best answer to that question is, expect the random and unexpected. The one thing I can guarantee you is a lot of fun. I'll always try to write articles that keep even those with the worst case of attention deficit riveted! We're going to have a lot of fun at this carnival, so grab your friends and find a ride to get your heart racing. I'll be over in the tent next to the cotton candy machine.

Essential Questions Was the North?s victory inevitable? Bc they had advantages in population and resources What were the reasons men fought in the Civil War? Soldiers wanted to be admired by the people at home, to do their part for their comrades, to bring the war to a quicker end and bc they grew to hate the enemy What problems did the Confederate govt. face during the war? In spring of 1863, poor women of Richmond broke open the stores of merchants accused of hoarding the precious staples. Confederate officers in the field forced reluctant farmers to accept whatever prices the army offered, in an increasingly worthless currency. Southern govt.t could not afford to lose civilian support and w/out a party mechanism to discipline those who spoke out against him, Jefferson Davis could not remove enemies from office. The govt. faced fundamental dilemma since the whole point of secession had been to move political power closer to localities, protecting slavery and self-determination. It had to centralize power. The armies were to be fed and clothed, if diplomats were to make a plausible case for the confederacy?s nationhood, if soldiers were to be mobilized, then the confederate govt. had to exercise greater power than its creators had expected/intended. Vicksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg? Vicksburg: A city of western Mississippi on bluffs above the Mississippi River west of Jackson. During the Civil War it was besieged from 1862 to 1863 and finally captured by troops led by Ulysses S. Grant on July 4, 1863. It became a symbol of Confederate doggedness and Union frustration and key to the Mississippi River controlling river traffic and rail cargo shipments to the East Chancellorsville: a major battle in the American Civil War (1863), the Confederates under Robert E. Lee defeated the Union forces under Joseph Hooker Gettysburg: accidental battle; Union general George Meade; south fails to uproot Union defenses; Pickett?s Charge lasted three days, bloodiest battle of the Civil War, Union won the battle, North won almost every battle after this battle, marked turnaround of the Civil War, Lee's biggest mistake/error Why did the draft riots happen? When mobs began assaulting graft officials, rich men, pro-Lincoln newspaper and abolitionists? homes killing over 100 people including many blacks What were Lincoln?s plans for amnesty and reconstruction? Lincoln began preparing his plan for Reconstruction to reunify the North and South after the war?s end. Lincoln believed that the South had never legally seceded from the Union; his plan for Reconstruction was based on forgiveness. He thus issued the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction in 1863 to announce his intention to reunite the once-united states. Lincoln hoped that the proclamation would rally northern support for the war and persuade weary Confederate soldiers to surrender. What was different about Grant?s 1864 campaign? General Grant, promoted to commander of the Union armies, planned to engage Lee's forces in Virginia until they were destroyed. North and South met and fought in an inconclusive three-day battle in the Wilderness. Lee inflicted more casualties on the Union forces than his own army incurred, but unlike Grant, he had no replacements. The election of 1864? Lincoln got re-nominated in June. Republican Party tried to broaden its appeal to the democrats by nominating Andrew Johnson, former democrat from TN to VP. Democrats intended to take full advantage of such criticisms by nominating General George McClellan. He demonstrated that a person could oppose Lincoln?s political purposes of the war w/out being a coward or traitor. They would unseat Lincoln until Sherman swung around ATL and began destroying the railroads that made the small city important junction. Sheridan attacked the Confederates in Shenandoah Valley, destroying the valley?s ability to support Southern army again. Lincoln won 55% of popular vote. The March to the Sea? Union General William Sherman led his troops through Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina burning and destroying cities, farms, and railroads. General Grant and his Union troops chased Lee's troops through Virginia and destroyed the Confederate capital, Richmond, Virginia What were the consequences of the war? North lost almost 365,000 and 277,000 wounded, South lost 260,00 and 195,000 wounded, black Americans lost 37,000 in union army and 10,000 men women and children in contraband camps. They all struggled w/out male breadwinner. Southern slave-based economy collapsed. Major Southern cities had been reduced to ash, railroads had been ripped from the ground and fields had grown up in weeds and brush. Farm values fell by half, livestock, tools, barns, and fences had been stolen/destroyed by both sides of army. The Civil War did not mark a sudden turn in Northern economy but accelerate processes already well underway. Why was Johnson impeached? House Republicans, tired of presidential vetoes that blocked Military Reconstruction, impeached Johnson by a vote of 126?47 for violating the Tenure of Office Act. The Senate then tried Johnson in May 1868 in front of a gallery of spectators but the prosecutors, two Radical Republicans from the House, were unable to convince a majority of senators to convict the president. Seven Republican senators sided with Senate Democrats, and the Republicans fell one vote shy of convicting Johnson. What was Reconstruction? Lincoln?s intention to reunite the once-united states. Lincoln hoped that the proclamation would rally northern support for the war and persuade weary Confederate soldiers to surrender. To appeal to poorer whites, he offered to pardon all Confederates; to appeal to former plantation owners and southern aristocrats, he pledged to protect private property. Lincoln did not want to punish southerners or reorganize southern society. His actions indicate that he wanted Reconstruction to be a short process in which secessionist states could draft new constitutions as swiftly as possible so the US could exist as before Who were the carpetbaggers? The scalawags? Carpetbaggers: what white Southerners called and sneered at white Northerners who supported the Republican cause. Scalawags: white Southern Republicans were labeled by their enemies, risked being called traitors to their own race and region What was ?radical reconstruction?? Congress passes First and Second Reconstruction Acts Congress passes Tenure of Office Act (1867); House of Representatives impeaches Andrew Johnson Senate acquits Johnson Fourteenth Amendment is ratified Ulysses S. Grant is elected president (1868); Fifteenth Amendment is ratified (1870) After sweeping the elections of 1866, the Radical Republicans gained almost complete control over policymaking in Congress. Along with their more moderate Republican allies, they gained control of the House of Representatives and the Senate and thus gained sufficient power to override any potential vetoes by President Andrew Johnson. This political ascension, which occurred in early 1867, marked the beginning of Radical Reconstruction Why did the North win the Civil War? had bigger numbers in the military and population (more soldiers), most immigrants went to the north, had 7x the manufacturing power so they could turn out more weapons and bullets, had a way better railroad system so they could transport goods faster and easily, had the navy (monopoly in shipping), industrialized economy, and neutrality of the European great powers North strategies: destroy anything and everything the south could use to win; Sherman captured the major rivers (Mississippi) control of river, control of south.

Firestone SZ90 Tyres – Unique Performance Feature
The above performance of the Firestone SZ90 tyres can be attributed to their unique dynamic asymmetric tread design. This tread design comprises a 3D tie bar in the centre groove. This maximises the connection between the centre and the blocks, improving block stiffness and enabling more efficient water flow away from the tread. As a result, wet traction improves and you experience maximum stability while cornering on wet surface.

One of the technological innovations in the Continental SportContact5 XL tyres is the 'Macro Block' design of the tread blocks in outer tyre shoulder. This increases the contact patch and confers improved handling characteristics and more precise steering responsiveness to your drive.
This feature is present in the standard Continental SportContact5 tyres too. But the difference is that in the Continental SportContact5 XL tyres the tyre sidewall is additionally reinforced. This makes the tyre capable of being inflated to higher pressure levels. And the enhanced pressure levels support higher loads.
Continental SportContact5 XL Tyres – Cost Efficiency
The Continental SportContact5 XL tyres are one of the most cost efficient tyres for your performance enhanced vehicles in the long run, because they enhance fuel efficiency and improve mileage performance.
The innovative 'Black Chilli' tread compound used in the tyres has inherent energy conservation properties, which contribute towards reducing the rolling resistance. Reduced rolling resistance means improved fuel utilisation and increased fuel efficiency and high mileage performance.
With the Continental SportContact5 tyres, you will find yourself making fewer trips to fuel pumps and adding that much more to your savings.
Continental SportContact5 XL Tyres – Concern for Your Safety
The Continental SportContact5 XL tyres ensure maximum safety on wet and dry surface. The circumferential grooves on the tyre tread reduce aquaplaning risk and increase safety and stability on wet surface.
Also the 'Black Chilli' tread compound increases the braking responsiveness significantly, reducing the stopping distance and increasing safety.
Available Sizes
The Continental SportContact5 XL tyres are available in a range of sizes for 17-20 inch fitments.

Continental Sport Contact 5P
Continental SportContact 5P Tyres – Matching Superior Safety with Peerless Performance
The Continental SportContact 5P tyres are high performance car tyres from Continental Tyres that offer maximum levels of safety to complement their high speed capability.
So this is the tyre for you if you want to have maximum fun at the wheel without nagging worries about safety.
Suited for high end luxury sports cars, coupes and saloons, the Continental SportContact 5P tyres are the newest addition to the Continental SportContact range that contains immensely popular premium performance tyres like the Continental SportContact5 tyres.
Continental SportContact 5P Tyres USP
The official Continental Tyres website describes these tyres as extremely fast…even while braking". This is an extremely apt description as the Continental SportContact 5P tyres are designed not only to support high speeds (go fast), but also to respond to braking commands extremely quickly (stop fast).
How this Occurs
This is possible because in designing the Continental SportContact 5P tyres, Continental engineers have tuned the tyre specifications according to the specific demands of the front and the rear axle positions. Because of such high overall synergy and conformity, there is no wasted energy and tyres are able to perform to their fullest, enhancing steering responsiveness and control and enabling high speeds. Thus performance is maximised.
Also because of the same reason (synergy) grip is maximised on all surfaces, enhancing traction and enabling quick stopping on braking.
Continental SportContact 5P Tyres – Technology behind the Performance
The main performance features of the Continental SportContact 5P tyres are its high levels of steering and braking responsiveness. Here is the design/technology behind it.
The precise steering responsiveness of the Continental SportContact 5P tyres can be attributed their asymmetric tread design comprising interlocked tread blocks on the outer shoulder, solid, central tread ribs and reinforcing lateral sipes on the inner tread. The result is unprecedented longitudinal stiffness and reduced wasteful tread movement. So, all steering forces are transmitted efficiently to the road, leading to improved steering responsiveness.
This can be attributed to Continental's proprietary 'Black Chilli' tread compound used in the Continental SportContact 5P tyres. This is a racing grade compound that warms up quickly and its inherent molecular structure makes it more supple, enhancing contact points on the road. This translates into greater grip and thus stopping distances are reduced on dry and wet surface.
The Continental SportContact 5P tyres are available in a range of sizes for fitting 18-23 inch alloy disks.
Not surprisingly, the profile height range is on the lower side – 20 to40mm as sporty vehicles ride low.

Michelin Pil Sport 3 GRNX
Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX Tyres – Combining Fuel Efficiency with High Performance
The Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX tyres are ultra high performance tyres from the Michelin Tyres stable suitable for performance oriented sports saloons coupes and sports cars.
These tyres are a technologically superior version of the standard Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres which are also ultra high performance tyres.
The difference is that the Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX tyres incorporate Michelin's patented Green X technology that ensures the best energy efficiency amongst comparable products with resultant increase in fuel efficiency.
The Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX tyres are distinguished by the presence of the GRNX marking prominently on the tyre sidewall.
These are exclusive summer tyres and do not provide adequate traction on snow and ice.
Green X Technology in the Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX Tyres
The Green X technology of Michelin is brought to the fore by the use of an innovative 'Green Power' tread compound. This compound enhances fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance. In addition, the compound is also associated with excellent wet grip features and extended durability, all of which add to the overall performance of the tyres.
Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX Tyres – Performance
The tyres perform exceedingly well in the following areas:
The Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX tyres have an asymmetric tread pattern that exhibits rigid shoulder blocks to enhance dry road responsiveness and handling. Cornering stability is maximum and you experience extremely precise steering responsiveness, making the drive very pleasurable.
While Green Power tread compound exhibits maximum wet grip and enhances wet safety, the Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX tyres are further reinforced with an 'Anti –Surf' system that optimises the tread grooves and profile, enabling these to cut through puddles effectively. As a result, resistance to aquaplaning is very high and chances of losing control on wet surface are minimised significantly.
The use of Michelin's Programmed Distortion tyre architecture in the Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX tyres enhances the ride quality by increasing steering precision.
The increased traction on wet and dry surfaces reduces braking distances significantly. In fact the Michelin PIL Sport3 GRNX tyres stop 3 meters shorter on wet surface as compared to their predecessors.

Pirelli P ZERO
Pirelli PZero Tyres – Say Hello to Ultra High Performance
The Pirelli PZero tyres are the ultra-high performance tyres from Pirelli Tyres that represent the pinnacle of technology and are in fact a reference point for the ultra-high performance tyre segment at large.
Pirelli's association with motorsports is well known and the Pirelli PZero range is where the on-track technology meets on-road technology to deliver tyres that meet and exceed your highest performance expectations. Besides the Pirelli PZero tyres, this range also consists of the popular Pirelli PZero Nero tyres.
The Pirelli PZero tyres are summer tyres and suitable for some of the most demanding top range high powered sports cars and saloons. These can also be fitted on mid-range high powered vehicles.
Given their sporty driving characteristics encompassing precision steering response, optimal braking performance and exceptional handling characteristics, it is hardly surprising that the Pirelli PZero tyres are factory fitted on luxury sports models from the Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini marquees.
What's Exciting About the Pirelli PZero Tyres
When we talk about performance in the ultra high range as produced by the Pirelli PZero tyres, even 'exciting' is a mild word.
You can look forward to the exceptional performance in the following areas.
The Pirelli PZero tyres exhibit a unique 'S-treme' asymmetrical tread pattern with large, rigid tread blocks on the outer shoulder. These enhance the area of the contact patch and confer lateral stability to make the steering responsiveness very precise. Hence handling characteristics improve and you experience a perceptible control on the car at all speeds, which is very important.
The new nano-composite compound of the Pirelli PZero tyres increases the grip and traction on surfaces. This is supplemented by the tread pattern that showcases three solid longitudinal ribs that maintain close contact with the surface at all times. Because of increased grip, the tyres respond faster to braking commands stopping sooner and increasing safety. The tread compound features also contribute to enhancing the handling characteristics.
Three wide longitudinal grooves, part of the asymmetrical tread pattern ensure rapid and effective water expulsion on wet surface, improving resistance and increasing safety on wet and slippery surfaces at high speeds.
With a tread pattern that ensures uniform pressure distribution, the Pirelli PZero tyres experience even tread wear that enhances tyre life. Also the tread pattern is optimized to reduce noise levels to deliver a quiet ride.

Bridgestone RE050A RUNFLAT *
Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat Tyres – Safety First
The Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat tyres are Bridgestone's high performance summer tyres – the Bridgestone RE050A tyres- equipped with Bridgestone's patented RunFlat technology. Bridgestone Tyres, one of the world's leading tyre manufacturers is credited with several innovative tyre technologies. And the RunFlat technology is one that is extremely important from the point of view of safety.
What is RunFlat Technology?
RunFlat technology is technology that keeps your vehicle mobile (running) even in the event of sudden loss of air pressure. The Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat tyres sidewall is made of heat resistant rubber that does not lose rigidity when the tyre pressure is low or even zero. The tyres can thus support the weight of the car and keep the car in motion for a short distance (upto 80km at a speed of 80km/hr) which should be sufficient for you to reach home or the nearest garage.
Advantages of the Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat Tyres
The obvious advantage of course is that the Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat tyres keep the vehicle stable and your control on the vehicle remains intact, when the pressure is low. Thus safety is greatly enhanced.
Then of course, you don't have to put up with the inconvenience of changing tyres either in the midst of a busy motorway or in the midst of nowhere.
Lastly, since there is no need to carry a spare tyre, the overall car weight reduces, enhancing the performance by that much.
The Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat tyres are the original equipment on the BMW Z4.
The Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat Tyres Performance
Like the Bridgestone RE050A tyres (on which they are based), the Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat tyres provide maximum control and stability at high speeds on both wet and dry surfaces.
The tyres offer impressive handling and exhibit high levels of steering and braking responsiveness.
Wet performance is further enhanced due to the reduced risk of aquaplaning that decreases the chances of skidding on wet roads.
Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat Tyres – Performance Explained
The BridgestoneRE050A RunFlat tyres exhibit an asymmetric tread pattern. The outer rectangular shoulder blocks are responsible for conferring maximum dry handling characteristics and improved steering responsiveness.
The inner smaller tread blocks with sipes and the circumferential and lateral grooves provide good aquaplaning resistance and improved wet performance, handling and stability.
Ride Comfort
Due to the reinforced sidewalls of the Bridgestone RE050A RunFlat tyres, the ride quality is not so smooth. But it is a compromise to be made in the interest of greater safety (runflat technology).

Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Tyres – True High Performance Tyres
High performance is not defined by high speed alone. It is a combination of high speed accompanied by steering precision and handling characteristics which enhance the exhilaration of the ride. And it is also essential that you experience maximum control on the vehicle at all time so that you can enjoy the high speed without nagging safety concerns. Michelin engineers have taken into consideration all these factors in the design and development of the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tyres.
Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Tyres – Performance
These tyres perform well in the following areas.
The asymmetric tread design of the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tyres has wide outer shoulder tread blocks that maximise the contact patch while you are making a turn. As a result, you experience exceptional cornering stability even at high speeds.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tyres are composed of two distinct tread compounds so that you get the best grip and performance on both wet and dry surface.
The tyre's outer shoulder has a silica-carbon black mix tread compound, which enhances dry road holding and performance. Towards the central tread area the tread is made up of a silica rich compound that continues till the inner shoulder. This compound has inherent high wet grip properties and increases the resistance to aquaplaning, ensuring safety on wet surfaces.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Georgia Democrats were unanimous in their support of a marriage equality plank in the party's 2012 platform.
The vote — which calls for "equal treatment under the law for same-sex couples" — came as part of this week's Democratic National Committee convention in Charlotte, N.C. and contrasts to support for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage that came out of the GOP convention a week ago.
The Georgia delegation voted unanimously by acclamation.
"This unified vote signals one thing," said state party Chairman Mike Berlon, a lawyer from Loganville. "Georgia is ready to treat people as equals. No longer do we believe that the government should prevent you from loving someone."
GOP preparing for push
By the time the week is out, Gwinnett's Republican Party will kick off a big grassroots effort to defeat President Barack Obama in November's election.
The "Gwinnett GOP Romney/Ryan Caravan" will begin with Saturday's monthly breakfast rally, where state party Chairwoman Sue Everhart will speak at 8:30 a.m. at 550 Trackside in Lawrenceville.
Then volunteers will go out and begin knocking on doors.
For the next two months, the party plans to work phone banks, hand out fliers at football games and festivals, including the upcoming county fair, place yard signs throughout Gwinnett and campaign for Republicans from the top to the bottom of the ticket.
The canvasing will begin in House District 96, where Mark Williams is challenging Democratic incumbent Rep. Pedro Marin. According to a press release, future efforts will focus on House District 81 for candidate Chris Boedeker, and House District 105 for Joyce Chandler, as well as incumbent Reps. Valerie Clark and Tom Rice, and GOP congressional and school board candidates.
"Our side has the enthusiasm this year to elect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, and we plan to use that momentum to ensure that every person in Gwinnett County knows that they belong in the party of limited government, free enterprise and individual liberty," said Bruce LeVell, chairman of the Gwinnett Republican Party. "We have a fantastic opportunity not only to help keep Georgia in the GOP column for Romney, but also to defeat two Democrat incumbents in the State House and elect a Republican to an open seat. There is not a single cul-de-sac in this county that the GOP will leave untouched, because as long as someone is breathing, they have no reason not to be a Republican."
Political Notebook appears in the Thursday and Sunday editions of the Gwinnett Daily Post. Camie Young can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. For archived columns, go to www.gwinnettdailypost.com/politics.

The right winged Georgia Opposition Party will begin their campaign to restore a Nazi-style government and impose their ways on everyone else. They always need someone to hate and someone to villianize. These people are the western world's equivilant of muslim extreemists. I look forward to their knocking on my door so I can kick their backsides off my property.

After the vote, they all went out for a Chic-fil-A sandwich only to find the lines long. America likes Dan Cathy and respects his right to express his opinion without being intimidated by the hatred we see in the comment above.

Was this before or after they voted against God and Jerusalem?
danielsobczak 3 years, 1 month ago
Limited government and individual liberty? If this is the case, then why does the GOP care who marries whom? Seems the government saying no is the opposite of limited government and individual liberty.
Say_that_again 3 years, 1 month ago
It is hard to take BuzzG and teelee serious. Read the Constitution and one sees that it supports Freedom of Religion. This means that you do not have the right to force your religious beliefs onto others. Democrats have never voted against God or Jerusalem (I could not find records of them ever voting against a city!). They have only voted for the right of people to have the freedom to make their own religious decisions as promised in the Constitution. Putting Sharia law elements into ones platform goes against the Constitution and the freedom for which America stands.

The Vero Beach Theatre Guild continued a streak of crowd-pleasing shows as its 55th season opened with "Hotbed Hotel."
With a margarita in-hand and Jimmy Buffett music in the background, theater president — as well as the production's director and set designer — Mark Wygonik welcomed theatergoers to "island time," promising a comical escape that he and his cast delivered.
Written in 2000 by British playwright Michael Parker, "Hotbed" is the definition of a farce. With risque characters and story lines, colossal misunderstandings, foreign stereotypes and swinging doors for ill-timed entrances and premature exits, it's a production that fits the community theater's strengths perfectly.
The play centers around the fictional one-star, dilapidated Turtle Beach Hotel in Florida's Key West. It is up for sale by husband and wife, Brian (Larry Sircy) and Terri (Leslie Christoffel), who have had a hard time luring people to the vacation spot.
With only one buyer, New York businessman Sam Lewis (Jason Avery), interested in their failing enterprise, the owners must do all they can to convince him and his wife, Ashley (Robin Spalin), that the place is a good investment when the prospective buyers make an unexpected trip to the Keys.
Brian and Terry devise a plan that transforms their ditsy young maid into the front-desk receptionist and room service attendant, and their alcoholic laid back handyman into a reverend.
Also in on the plan is the hotel's long-staying guest, Major Posenby (George Andrew), portraying an Arab character, Abdul Alhaj, who may or may not turn out to be the major's long-lost twin brother.
To mix things up, once-a-year guest Hayley Harrington (Heather Stapleton), an unashamed nymphomaniac, arrives and must be kept — by any means possible — away from the buyers.
As with any farce, it's obvious the plan will never work — but it will lead to some very funny situations.
The production moves smoothly despite all its twists and flops thanks to the skillful direction of Wygonik and the intricate, multileveled set. The realistic representation of a beach-side hotel is practically a main character and its many doors, lights and crannies are artfully used.
Despite some troublesome sound issues, with one character being too loud and another not loud enough, the guild has assembled one of its wackiest and most talented casts for this hysterical comedy.

One of the few issues to be laid to rest this campaign season is voter fraud. Fears, mostly on the right, that noncitizens might be voting, manifested in voter identification bills here and across the nation.
Bearing the voter-fraud torch was Secretary of State Dianna Duran, who proceeded to botch the effort from beginning to end. She announced early last year that New Mexico had a "culture of corruption," a charge repeated in national media. (Just what we need.) Later she referred 64,000 possibly fraudulent voter records to the State Police. That number plummeted a year ago to 104 voters who were illegally registered to vote and 19 who actually voted illegally.
In her report, Duran stuck her jaw out and accused her critics of being partisan while insisting that her office was "simply not in that game," and that even though 19 didn't sound like much, any instance of vote fraud was significant. Democrats returned fire.
More telling was the response of the nonpartisan Common Cause New Mexico. The group applauded Duran's effort to clean up the state's voter records but charged that Duran was "deliberately undermining public trust in New Mexico elections purely to promote policies, such as voter photo ID, which are designed to prevent qualified New Mexicans from casting a ballot."

Financial Information
Students pay either full time fees or part time fees. If a student wishes to hold an assistantship, they must be full time. Most scholarships also require the student to be registered for full time studies.
The number of courses you enroll in does not determine if you are full time or part time at the graduate level. The fees are set as either full time rate or part time, not by the number of courses you enroll in, add or drop. In addition you enroll for all three terms - fall, winter and summer each year until you have completed your degree.
If you need to change to part time status, you will need to complete a change of status form with your director (form available on the Graduate Studies web site).
If you need to be away from your studies, you may petition for a leave of absence or withdraw. Students are strongly recommended to meet with the director to discuss what option would work best for them.
For the rate of fees, please consult the Registrar's information, as they list all fees, including full time, part time, international and the schedule of refunds for graduate students.
Scholarships and Awards
- Incoming students are eligible for consideration for a variety of scholarships including the Elia Scholarship, the Graduate Fellowship for Academic Distinction, and the York Scholarship. Complete information may be found on-line at: http://gradstudies.yorku.ca/prospective-students/student-finances/funding-awards/

- Additional information can also be found to assist you with your OGS application at the link: http://gradstudies.yorku.ca/current-students/student-finances/funding-awards/ogs/ (FGS Guide to OGS Scholarships).
- The Faculty of Graduate Studies receives scholarship information on an ongoing basis from a wide number of sources including corporation and foundation based scholarship opportunities.
The SPTH Program office also posts announcements on the bulletin board and through the student listserv. Information about the deadlines for applications for scholarships and awards are advertised on the student listserv.
Assistantships are also available to assist students financially. All full time students are eligible to receive either a teaching assistantship (TA), a graduate assistantship (GA) or a research assistantship (RA). Students must apply for a TA each year. PhD students have first priority for TA positions, followed by MA students in their second year. Students in their first MA year normally receive either a GA (where they are expected to assist the Program or individual faculty members with research or Program related work) or a RA (where they work on research related to their own research interests). Except in unusual circumstances, all students can expect to receive one of a TA, GA, or RA.
Additional Opportunities
Additional information on a wide variety of types of scholarships, awards and prizes is sent - on an ongoing basis - to students through e-mail and is also available at the http://gradstudies.yorku.ca/current-students/student-finances/funding-awards/
FGS/CUPE Bursary
This bursary is based on financial need, and students will need to complete an on-line form which includes budgetary expense information. Students are encouraged to supplement the budgetary information with a rational if any of the expenses are unusual or if further information would be beneficial to the committee that ranks the bursary requests. The joint FGS/CUPE committee will assess the requests and the awards will be applied to the students' York Account. If tuition fees have been paid, a cheque will be issued to the student. Students are asked to note that funds for this bursary are limited, and this supplements student expenses, but does not normally award the full amount requested. There are two competitions annually - one for the Fall/Winter sessions, and one for the summer session. Applications are on-line (through the Graduate Studies web site), and student would need to fill out the on-line Student Financial Profile.
Please note: As cheques may be issues and sent to the student's home address, students are encouraged to ensure that their local address has been updated on-line including telephone number and postal code to prevent mail from going missing or to ensure offices can follow-up promptly if there are any problems.
The Graduate Development Fund
The Graduate Development Fund helps subsidize students' travel costs to a recognized academic event where they are presenting their scholarly or creative work. The fund will not support travel to a commercial or remunerated event. (It does not cover taxis, conference fees, hotels, associated research costs, etc.).

Amount of allocations
Allocation amounts may vary based on the amount of applications and the number of high-expense applications in any given application cycle.Successful applications are generally allocated a portion rather than the total amount of transportation costs.

Tax Receipts
York has recently switched to an on-line format for some of the tax paperwork. Click on the link http://sfs.yorku.ca/fees/taxforms/index.htm to go directly to the Obtaining Tax Forms page.
The following instructions were provided by one of the students who has used this site:
You will need your student number and must know your Maya Pin Number. When you click on the "tax forms" site, you select the appropriate form. Then you just get an Adobe Acrobat file which looks exactly like the forms they used to mail us. In order to download it on a computer with Adobe Acrobat you will need to use a computer that has Adobe Acrobat on it already. (The computers in the SPTH computer room have this program). Print and include with your taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency.

And what of the rumor that Greg Burke (Fox News) will soon replace Joaquin Navarro-Valls as papal spokesman?
Would Tarcisio Bertone really get it at the age of 73?!?…
Seriously? Is that a real rumor or a joke?
Perhaps, but I don't think that Bertone has distinguished himself in his dealings with the press and world leaders. The Sec of s is the Nuncio to the World. That means he must announce the concerns of the Holy See to the world in ways that the world can understand. I believe that this man is Cardinal Scola.
Okay! Another county heard from!
Is that a real rumor or a joke?
It may be a joke, Matt, but it's a real rumor. As reported from Kracowicz by EWTN's Rome bureau chief Joan Lewis as being the word being noised about the papal press entourage there.
Quite interesting – Greg Burke is identified in John Allen's book on Opus Dei as a numerary. And I believe that Navarro-Valls is also.
I know G.Burke's father. He is an excellent[former pediatrician]
He speaks often of his son who is in Opus Dei. In my humble opinion , he would be an absolutely excellent choice. A perfect fit to replace J.N.V..
Greg Burke is a friend of mine. I worked closely with him during on Fox News for "Papal April" last year. Perhaps you remember the photo I posted here. It wasn't a great photo, given that it was taken of a TV screen, so, there is a lot of distortion of how we look. But, oh well…
Yes, I agree. He would be a very good choice. Perhaps we could add this to a list of petitions.

The monument, dedicated to the fallen members of the Liberation Army for Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac, whose goal was to unite the ethnic Albanian majority area in the Presevo Valley with neighboring Kosovo, was erected in November 2012 in front of the ethnic-Albanian-run municipality building in Presevo.

Tending to support the theory that the Kerry campaign leaked the story is the fact that the Bush White House has known about Berger for months; Kerry was told of the investigation only the week the story was leaked.Berger's relationship to the Kerry campaign has undergone a massive transformation since news of the Great Hanes Robbery broke. One month ago, the Times was calling Berger one of "Mr. Kerry's top foreign policy advisers." Last week the Times described Berger as "an informal, unpaid adviser to Sen. John Kerry's campaign." By next week he'll be "some guy who heckled Teresa in Milwaukee."
At least they aren't calling Berger a "stalker."
The people who should be on their knees thanking God that W is president are the National Archives employees who caught Sandy Burglar. If Clinton were still president, instead of a serious criminal investigation, we'd get six months of attacks on the poor National Archives employees as trailer trash, sluts, gold-diggers, etc., etc. (Of course, if Clinton were still president, some National Archives employees might well be on their knees, but for a different reason.)
Maybe the Kerry campaign could borrow from another Clinton-era scandal ? the ransacking of the FBI files ? and claim that, like Craig Livingston, no one knows who hired Berger to work on the Kerry campaign.
Given the Democratic scandals, their presidential candidates might consider the following litmus-test question before hiring their campaign staff: "Have you ever put anything into your shorts, or taken anything out of your shorts, that could negatively affect this campaign?"
