So Verizon is expanding its FiOS TV offerings in the near future to Schenectady and Guilderland. Read the full story in the Times Union. My first thought: Hallelujah! Those two locations are just a stone's throw from my home, so I can only hope that I'm next. As Time Warner Cable's rates continue to go up, I look forward to some competition for television. My bill is so high that I'm currently mulling dropping down to basic cable and picking up Hulu Plus. I rarely watch TV when it airs, so a day or two delay shouldn't bother me. It doesn't hurt that TV networks send me screeners for their new shows, either. Has anybody tried surviving without expanded cable? I think I'd get most everything I need from Hulu Plus, though my wife's addiction to Bravo's "Real Housewives" shows could be a stumbling block.
Verizon bringing FiOS TV to Schenectady, Guilderland
10 Responses
I got rid of "full" cable when I no longer had room mates. I haven't looked back. Netflix + streaming is more than sufficient for me. I keep basic cable–channel 2-23 and I have roadrunner, and my bill is around $57 a month.
About a year ago I dropped down to the selection that gets you channels 2-24. (Naturally, it's cost just went up too!) My son has netflix and I have the still-free hulu account. I really don't miss any of the channels I used to have. (Not to say if someone else wanted to pay my bill I wouldn't be happy to have digital with the dvr back! Just saying)
One thing to keep in mind for those of you that are in towns with fios, but just not in a fios neighborhood is that the towns often put language in the agreement requiring Verizon to build-out the town to up to 95% reachability. So if you are in Schenectady, Guilderland, Scotia, Colonie, etc, just wait. You will have your Fios soon enough.
For the rest of you there is always Satellite. I have had dish for a year now and its way cheaper than TWC and looks amazing. I will be switching to Fios TV when the time comes but until then, TWC doesnt get any of my money!
I just called Verizon to relace Time Warner in Schodack. I will have to live without cable,just Netflix and over the air reception till Fios comes. "NO MORE TIME WARNER"
I really enjoy the commnets on articles related to Time Warner and I agree with all of them because TW is just awful. What really cracks me up though are national financial news artciles on TW where writers ponder why TW is losing customers. They will point to the recession, NetFlix, etc. but never really get to the fact that TW is ridiculously expensive and their service, for lack of better term, sucks.
I feel like I am the only one here who is going to say I am happy with TW. We have a bundled package of phone, internet, and digital cable with dvr. No premium packages, movie or specialty channels. 2 years ago we signed up for "locked in pricing", it is a 2 year contract which just expired and we signed a new 2 year contract. With the new price increases this same service would cost $180 but with the locked in price we are paying $141. One of the reasons we left Verizon was I need to call Canada periodically, with Verizon I had to pay a monthly fee to get a reduced per minute rate, with TW Canada is included in the basic package. No per minute rate or additional monthly fee. Also a btw about Netflix, when streaming we have constant buffering issues that interupt the video, a real pain.
You should've just signed your post with Time Warner, or maybe Tim Warner, if you wanted to be cute.
People arent necessarily complaining about TW's products, just their pricing. At $141 you are paying way too much. They say you are saving so much because it should cost $180, but that is just a marketing technique. You can ditch their home phone and get vonage and also call Canada for free. There are plenty of other options for calling Canada. Paying $141 per month isnt one I would choose.
Verizon will definitely bring competition which will drive costs down. Time Warner is a monopoly and they act like it. Verizon's triple play is advertised for as low as $85 in the city. Thats a huge savings no matter how much you have to call Canada. Even after the introductory promotion expires, Verizon is still cheaper.
One last thing, Verizon offers a VoIP "digital phone" that you can get to also call Canada for free.
Mike, I'm sure that there are cheaper ways to go but I had Verizon previously and was paying more 5 years ago than I do now. I never wanted dish service, I don't see the point of buying a dish and still paying a monthly service cost, plus people I know who have dish services say they can not get local programming which I would miss. I like having broadband digital internet and don't think I would like DSL though I have never tried it.
DSL IS broadband ya know. I have had dish and I have had local programming since day 1 at no additional charge. All I am saying is that Time Warner's prices are just too high. Their products are great, just not the prices.
What I was saying earlier is that Verizon's triple play included digital phone just like Time Warner and you can call canada for free. They just introduced a new triple play, home phone, HD TV, and broadband internet for $65 per month for 2 years!!! Still want to pay $141 per month for TWC??? There's a sucker born every day.

Amazing Future Tales
The mngurumo (ming-uru-mo) is a sauropod that travels savannahs in family herds. Adult bulls average 10 feet in length, excluding the tail, which adds about another 10 feet, and weigh around one ton. Cows are somewhat smaller. Mngurumos possess some unusual abilities. They are sightless, completely lacking any visual organs. What appear to be ocular cavities in the creature's skull contain highly sensitive sonar organs. As a result, mngurumos function nearly as well as sighted creatures in most respects. When threatened, mngurumos prefer to flee, but if hard-pressed, they will fight. A mngurumo's tail lash strikes with devastating force. Adult mngurumos also possesses a powerful sonic breath weapon. A mngurumo can use its breath weapon once per hour.

How weird is this? Just as I'm quoting Blondie about the topic of letting go, I check out her blog and she's writing on the same subject. And very poignant and beautiful stuff. She's got some cool graphics, too, that I don't know how to do yet (sorry!). So go to her blog, Tales From Clark Street (by clicking here) to read the following passage with the images of the brassia plant she is describing:
This is the back bulb of my brassia dying off. Don't worry, it's normal. It's all part of the process. And someday it will have blooms again. But maybe they will be even bigger this time. Because the thing about orchids is that they go into this little dormant resting period, usually in winter, and then come back with crazy growth and get BIGGER! Bigger leaves, bigger flowers, more zest.
And it had a lot of zest last time.
I'm working on my personal zest.
Since my coworkers read my blog, I have to be kinda cryptic about this, but yesterday I did something at work that I'm really proud of. (Oh Gawd, can you imagine the gossip this might stir up? What did she do?? What did she do?? By the end of the day, I will have taken over the company and made it into a carwash. Just because. You know, word of mouth.) Anyway, there comes a time in our lives when we have to take some chances. So I took a chance on something. I'll let you know how it works out. But it was inspired by this quote, which has sat in my mind next to memories of college boys with long hair and learning about Nietzsche for the first time. In school, I wrote this quote big as can be and hung it on my wall:
The jump is so frightening
between where I am and
where I want to be . . .
because of all I may become . . .
I will close my eyes and leap!
— Maryanne Hershey
That part of me that is terrified of EVERYTHING is officially dying. And I've been told that once that back bulb dries up, all I have to do is give it a good twist and it will come off. I can't WAIT!

Mets notebook: Murphy getting back into the swing with no pain
PORT ST. LUCIE — New York Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy participated in a full round of batting practice Monday for the first time since he was sidelined Feb. 18 with a strained oblique muscle.
Murphy took more than 50 swings and said he came out of it pain free. He and the rest of the Mets will take a day off Tuesday.
"It felt good. There was no pain, so we'll take the day off tomorrow and then we'll come in Wednesday and see where we're at," Murphy said. "Hopefully, we'll be able to take BP again."
Mets manager Terry Collins had said over the weekend he hoped to get Murphy in a game soon, possibly by the end of the week.
Murphy also fielded about 30 grounders, "a little more at game speed," than he had been. However, swinging the bat was the bigger test of health. He had been taking swings in a cage a few times prior to getting back on the field and hasn't had a day off since he was cleared to resume baseball activities.
"I worked my way into it, and I felt like I was able to cut loose," Murphy said. "My swing needs some work, but it doesn't hurt, so that's good. There's no sharpness, no pain, so that's the big thing moving forward.
"I've been doing cage work, more or less just making sure I'm healthy more than being able to work on anything. Now that I know I'm healthy from this day, hopefully doing a day or two of this, we'll be able to start working on some things. The quicker I can get off a swing count, the better."
Jordany Valdespin hit his team-leading third home run Monday on the opening pitch from Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander, as the Mets outfielder further states his case for an opening day roster spot. Verlander later hit Valdespin with a 94 mph fastball to his groin, causing him to depart the game early. ... Mets outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis will participate in baseball activities outdoors Wednesday, rather than play in a Grapefruit League game as the team had planned, according to ESPNNewYork.com. Nieuwenhuis suffered a bone bruise to his left knee eight days ago on a slide. ... ESPNNewYork.com also reported manager Terry Collins confirmed Jeremy Hefner would be Johan Santana's replacement in the starting rotation if Santana is not ready to start the season. Hefner has a 2.61 ERA in 10¥ innings spanning four appearances this spring training. He has allowed seven hits and two walks.

AAA President Setha Low, on behalf of the AAA, has issued the following letter regarding recent reports that US citizens and legal residents have been subject to electronics searches upon reentrance to the U.S. The AAA actively works to defend the right of anthropologists to conduct their work freely and ethically, and the association will be tracking the issue closely in the weeks and months to come. Questions and comments may be directed to AAA Director of Public Affairs, Damon Dozier.
Secretary Michael Chertoff U.S. Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 July 25, 2008
Secretary Chertoff:
I write to you on behalf of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) in response to recent reports that United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have been searching the private electronic devices of Americans returning home from abroad. Founded in 1902 and headquartered in the nation's capital, the AAA is the world's largest organization of anthropologists, with over 11,000 members.
The AAA has recently learned that the DHS, through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has allowed the search of private electronic devices, including laptops, of Americans reentering the United States. These searches include going over personal contents such as phone and email records. As anthropologists, we are especially concerned with this development, as confidential information, such as field notes, could potentially be reviewed.
The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution requires that federal authorities have a warrant to conduct a search and seizure of personal property and all US citizens and legal residents have these rights. Current practices have grave implications for anthropologists, social scientists and their research participants, as informants allow researchers into their lives precisely because they believe they have the ability to protect them and obscure their identities. The ability of scholars to honor their commitments to these individuals and communities could be compromised if a search were to take place.
Unlawful searches not only violate the rights of the scholar, but they unlawfully infringe upon the lives of our research participants. We urge you to revisit this policy, and allow the critical work of social scientists to continue unencumbered and uninterrupted.
Thank you for your prompt consideration of this matter. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact Damon Dozier, AAA Director of Public Affairs, at (703) 528-1902 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Bibliography – My Writings on the Immigration of Despair
by Daniel Pipes
Translations of this item:
One of the largest stories taking place today is the movement of people from poorer and more stressed lands to richer and more secure ones. As communications and transportation increase in quality and decrease in expense, immigration can be expected to continue to grow, stressing destination countries even as it depletes the departed countries of talent and drive.
Various questions come to mind: How big will the backlash be? How will the lowering birth rate change attitudes and patterns? Will immigrants from alien cultures adapt to their new homes?
It's a huge subject; I touch on some aspects of the Muslim-Western relationship, listed here in chronological order and updated as needed.

The Strip
Hotels in The Strip
The newest resort in Steve Wynn's collection is less Las Vegas glam and more luxurious desert oasis. Case in point: the sunny casino has glasswalls that look out onto verdant gardens and pools.
Featuring a 30-story black glass exterior topped with the world's brightest light beam, the Luxor is one of the most recognizable buildings on the Strip.
A block from Las Vegas Boulevard, Platinum has 255 suites, which come with full stainless-and-granite kitchens, and—unlike most properties on the Strip—these have balconies.
It takes a lot to make waves in Sin City, but Aria did it in 2009, redefining the skyline with its minimalist, curvilinear glass towers housing 4,004 rooms, 18 restaurants, eight bars, a nightclub, a casino, spa, pools, and resident Cirque du Soleil show.
With its central location on the Strip and its effortless synthesis of boutique coziness with sprawling amenities, Paris is the go-to spot for travelers in Vegas who are looking for a little elegance.
Mid-Strip extravaganza with a palatial 65,000-square-foot spa, 14 restaurants, botanical gardens, and dancing fountains.
While this casino offers plenty for gamblers—it houses 1,723 slot machines, 39 table games, and live poker—it's also home to the Desperado, one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world, as well as a log flume ride that runs through the main casino floor.
With a history dating back to 1957, Tropicana is one of the few remaining "original" resorts on the Strip. Guests would never guess its age, however, thanks to a multimillion-dollar renovation last year.
With a casino floor flooded with natural light, a botanical theme, and a collection of restaurants with rising celebrity chefs like Paul Bartolotta and David Walzog, Wynn Las Vegas has single-handedly redefined the standard of luxury
It's rare to find a culture-minded hotel in Las Vegas—especially smack-dab in the heart of the Strip.
Fashionably minimalist, THEhotel is meant to feel like a boutique hotel (though with 1,117 rooms, this is hardly the case).
Topped with colorful turrets rising high above the Strip, this castle-themed resort was the world's largest hotel when it first opened in 1990.
At the 392-room property, interior designer Adam Tihany tries to re-create the experience of contemporary Hong Kong.
In a town where "classic" is a euphemism for "marked for implosion," Flamingo Las Vegas, which was originally owned by Bugsy Siegel in 1946, has exuberantly remade itself and become the hippest hotel on the Strip.
The first hotel to open in Vegas without a casino (it debuted, somewhat ironically, in a tower adjacent to Mandalay Bay in 1999), the Four Seasons is arguably still the best of this growing breed.

text: The Seikima II - Akuma no Gyakushuu wiki last edited by Mento on 04/08/13 01:24PM View full history The name of the band is actually Seikima-II - a pun of sorts on the Japanese term for "the end of the century" - as opposed to this being a sequel to another video game.The player controls members of the band as they leap around stages filled with platforms, enemies, bags with dollar signs on them (unusual for a Japan-only game) and score items that resemble the band members' faces. The character has a health timer that is constantly ticking down, and drops further if the character collides with enemies, but can be replenished with potions. There are also shops the player can visit which provides players with helpful items including the most expensive available: guitars. Purchasing guitars for each member of the band will end the game.Like many games that attempted cash-in on a then-popular license, the game is of overall poor quality.

If a 30% approval rating was something good, the Tea Party wouldn't be so despised. If trust funded corporate fetch boys had their way, we'd all be spending our company money at the company store.
Get it right, you sniveling has been greed driven and racist agenda, shut down by the hard working, tax paying, overwhelming majority of American voters.
#21591 Oct 30, 2013
How DARE corporations ride on the backs of the working man by hiding their money offshore and not paying taxes. REAL Americans know who to blame and guess what, mouth boy. It ain't the poor and powerless in this nation.
So tell us, since your kind always gleefully drops to his knees for it's agenda, how long have you personally been one of the top 1% earners in this country? Yah, though so.
#21592 Oct 30, 2013
I want to make sure you guys don't forget how "scandalous" the Obama administration has been, so I will personally fill you in with the documented facts of the outcome of each of these horrendous acts of tyranny by Obama.
Remember how VERY concerned you all were about Obama's terrible Benghazi "scandal"? Turns out the Republicans recently were busted changing the wording of the emails. So the real reason you Tea Baggers were so happy to jump on this one of many proven to be bullsh!t scandals is because...?
It's because your party are not obstructionists and conniving liars and because you guys are not willing to jump on any scandal bogus because you are really just racists. That's why.
#21593 Oct 30, 2013
who cares, Obama says go take a flyingfk at a rolling donut, its my way or the highway.///////// this scandle will be his downfall. its written in granite. impeachment coming for new years.
#21594 Oct 30, 2013
Dream on, clown. Obama told your fringe group to stick your obstructionist bullsh1t up your sour grape losing side @ss while America cheered.(Also see 30% Tea Party approval rating)
#21595 Oct 30, 2013
Why that's terrible. That's almost as bad as a leader lying to the people about something he knew would happen. It's almost as bad as a leader doing what's best for him and not the people. Why....... those Republicans.

Really? Which lawsuit are you referring to?
#21597 Oct 30, 2013
I don't see how. People that live in rural areas live there for a reason. They don't like or need modern conveniences. They don't like city water, sewers, highways and so on. They like living out there on their own.
The Amish for instance do just fine without telephones, internet, cell phones, electricity, natural gas service. The Amish that don't like living that way leave the order when they become old enough or have had enough of living like that. They move. Those who had a fascination for living in a big city do so. Those who don't remain out in the country--just not practicing the Amish traditions.
There is a difference in philosophy between the left and the right. The right believes we are all individuals capable of making our own choices. If you want to be poor, don't work. If you want to be middle-class, work. If you want to be wealthy, start your own business or go to college to learn a profession. No matter what you choose, what you earn is rightfully yours.
The left looks at this country as one big commune. Some go out and earn money, other stay in the commune raising their children or just loafing around, and whatever comes into the commune is shared equally by all.
Both philosophies have their good and bad. But the question is, why are there no communes anymore????

If corporations hide their money offshore they're doing a favor to US consumers who buy their products by not charging them the embedded tax in the cost of their products. I would buy a product form that company before one with the higher cost every time.
The tax revenue squandering politician is the only one gettin his throat cut in the deal.
#21600 Oct 30, 2013
Sry XXX I have to disagree to a degree although I agree on the surface.
To agree with you totally means that we would have NO Book Mobiles, NO clinic vehicles dispatched from University Hospitals, maybe not even any roads or traffic control devices in rural areas since that tax base by itself would not contribute proportionally to those things that would benefit ALL of society for such a small amount per person. These 'free' phones usually are limited to 250 minutes per month. Not exactly a luxury.
However I do strongly resent those that can do better but find the freebee's if they underachieve, lack effort, lay back, & suck on the government programs. Unfortunately, there are too many administrators of those programs that are former ACORN like workers.
And YES! anyone that lives in a flood plain took/takes their chances by their own CHOICE. And I refuse to contribute to cabal/satellite if I have a choice or if I don't have a choice.
I am compassionate enough that I have given to the "winter care fund" on my utility bill but that is a choice & not a requirement.
#21601 Oct 30, 2013
I have a coworker that lives near the airport. He has lived there for many years and even raised his family there.
The airport decided to put in a new runway several years ago. Now the planes that use that runway take different air routes which is over his home; not that planes didn't fly over his home anyway.
I don't know which government it was, but the government decided to respond to the complaints about the airplanes. They sent workers to his house, installed all brand new windows and doors, insulation, central air so that he could close his new windows and doors and not hear the airplanes.
If noise from airplanes bothered you, WTF did you move by the airport?
I wrote this before but I'll reiterate in the event you missed it:
I'm a full time truck driver and have to use my phone for communications with my employer from time to time. I'm also a landlord which requires me to use my phone to contact workers, my father when he is working on the apartments or grounds, the bank, my tenants, the insurance company and so on.
My cell phone plan is 500 anytime minutes per month, and I can't recall anytime where I used half of that. Mind you, my cell phone is my only phone.
So the question is, if a busy guy like me doesn't need 250 minutes a month, why does a lowlife who doesn't work?
Obviously these government phone plans are not a necessity, but a luxury. They are not using those minutes to look for jobs, contact emergency services, staying in contact with an ill family member. We are forced to pay for these plans and phones for recreational use. I'm against that. Do you know what it would take to get a cell phone with a 250 per month minute plan each month? About a half of a days work at McDonalds. And most of their restaurants are always looking for any kind of help.
#21602 Oct 30, 2013
if George bush. Wouldn't have ran this country in the ground. Trying to get back at everybody that try hurting his dad , and listen to somebody. Besides war lords. Chaney and Rumsfeld. This country wouldn't be broke and suffering. I done two tours of Iraq. I seen what was happening over there, money be thrown away by the handfuls Just to bribe religious leaders not to kill each other, letting Iraq people pimp out Iraq people for 5 bucks a day. When they paid the pimp Iraq civilian 10,000 a day to work them. It was all a joke. Besides my buddies getting killed for nothing . By being put in a no win situation. So , u republicans can't talk all this shit about Obama And all your talking is coming out of the side of your ass. If you want to blame somebody. Blame bush. Obama has been trying to clean that dudes mess up from day 1. And it will take. 4 more years. After Obama To even see. If we can ever get back to the days. We had money in the bank in this country.( bill Clinton ). Surplus. And bush. Went through it like it was play money.
#21603 Oct 30, 2013
WO WO WO! "YOU REPUBLICANS"!?!? Rather closed minded there. In the 10 plus years that WE have been in Iraq & Afghanistan BOTH parties have been in control of the funding with little or NO difference so do not be partisan about who is to blame. Just another example of the TWO parties NOT being that different.
Obama has NOT closed Gitmo, has NOT ended Afghanistan, did NOT end the Iraqi war sooner than was already scheduled.
So please do not single out Geo W Bush or Repubs since there was & is plenty of reasponsability to go around, even today.
Thanx for your tours of Iraq. I have a son that served Afghanistan
#21604 Oct 30, 2013
You Republicans sure like to talk a lot about personal responsibility, until it comes time to actually take some yourselves...
#21605 Oct 30, 2013
Cynical? I have an unlimited plan & probably do not use 200 talk minutes per month plus unlimited texting. I spend $35 per month which is not a bad deal.
IF someone is hunting for a job, they could use 100's of minutes per month after month. At least WE aren't paying for their internet too which may be next.
LOOK, I have too many in-laws that are as useful as running shoes on a snail so I know the routine. They even tell each other as to which case worker to see or avoid & how to fill out forms. They collectively work the system. That's my problem & your problem, too little over site as to who is entitled to what.
I am very glad that they are in-laws & not blood.
#21606 Oct 30, 2013
Excuse me for not making clear that I am NOT a repub & have NEVER registered as a Republican & I will excuse YOU for being an intellectual protazoan.
OPEN your mind. NO picture is only 2 sided.
#21607 Oct 30, 2013
Let's see, goofy victim mentality, check. Unfounded sense of moral superiority, check. Inability to spell relatively simple words, check.
Are you sure you're not a Republican?!?
#21608 Oct 30, 2013
No, no. In the real world, you got a tax break and taxes were at the lowest they had been in 50 years when the Tea Baggers were crying "Taxed Enough Already". Don't you remember? The internet does and will forever...you know. The doom of the GOP.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – The 16th-ranked Kansas State Wildcats (10-3; 2-1 Big 12) dropped a five-game match to the Oklahoma Sooners despite a career-high effort from junior Rita Liliom with 23 kills. While the Cats led in every statistical category, the Sooners nabbed the win 3-2 by scores of 16-30, 30-28, 30-26, 16-30, 15-13.
K-State's .280 hitting on 72 kills could not contain Oklahoma who had 59 kills on .141 hitting. Liliom led the Cats' attack with 23 kills to tie her career high, matching her mark against Florida A&M in December 2005. The Budapest, Hungary, native hit .381 on the night and tallied a match high four service aces. In addition, juniors Nataly Korobkova and Jenny Jantsch added double-digit kills; Korobkova converted on 18 while Jantsch had 11.
Stacey Spiegelberg put down six kills, while dishing out 59 assists and eight digs. The Overland Park, Kan., junior continued a streak of 12-consecutive matches with a service ace as she recorded two on the night.
The Wildcat defense had both middle blockers finish with nine blocks, as Megan Farr had nine assisted and Kelsey Chipman put back one solo, eight assisted.
The Oklahoma attack was led by four Sooners in double-digit kills; Anna Stadel had a team-high 15 while also aiding the defense with six blocks. Both Bridget Laplante and Mariana Blum recorded double-doubles; Laplante had 12 kills and 11 digs and Blum added 11 kills and 11 digs.
K-State cruised to the 30-16 win in game one with .286 hitting compared to the Sooners' -.097. Jantsch and Liliom each had four kills to lead in the first with 11 assists from Spiegelberg.
In the second game, the Cats and Sooners battled through 14 tied scores and four lead changes to finish with OU winning 30-28. Korobkova had eight kills in the second game, including two that brought the Cats to within one at 6-5. She produced a final kill in the game to tie the score at 28-all.
The Wildcats were unable to earn a lead in the third, which only had one tie score. Oklahoma took advantage of the Cats' lowest hitting on the night: 14 kills and 10 errors on 37 attempts (.108). One of Liliom's five game-three kills brought the Cats to within three at 21-18, but a trio of costly errors gave K-State its largest deficit of the game at 24-18. K-State fell in the third 30-26 despite three consecutive kills from Farr at the end.
K-State had its best hitting of the night in game four at .429 and won in similar fashion to the first set at 30-16. Liliom and Korobkova finished with 10 kills between the two. Liliom elevated the Wildcats to the game four win with three kills in K-State's final five points.
In the final game, each conference foe fought for the victory through 10 tied scores and two lead changes. With back and forth rallies, K-State earned its first lead at 5-4. The Sooners battled to regain the advantage and brought the game to a tie at 9-all and forced a KSU timeout. K-State had a final lead at 11-10, but Oklahoma rallied back to capture the win 15-13.
With a 2-1 conference record, K-State will make its first Big 12 trip outside of the Sunflower State for a meeting with Colorado on Sat., Sept. 22. The first serve is set for 7:30 Central time. A complete recap will be made available on www.kstatesports.com as soon as it becomes available.

This just in from the conference office …
WIde receiver Jermaine Kearse of WASHINGTON, cornerback Mike Thomas of STANFORD and punter Jackson Rice of OREGON have been named Pac-10 Players of the Week in football.
Rice, a sophomore from Moraga, Calif., was instrumental in Oregon's 48-13 win at Tennessee as he kept the Volunteers pinned back in their own territory with four punts (41.8 yards per kick) – all landed inside the 20-yard line, two at the 6-yard line. Only one of his four kicks was returned and that was for no gain.
Also nominated for offensive player of the week honors were running back Nic Grigsby of Arizona, quarterback Kevin Riley of California, quarterback Darron Thomas of Oregon, running back Stepfan Taylor of Stanford, and running back James Montgomery of Washington State. Also nominated on defense were linebackers Mike Mohamed of California, defensive tackle Zac Clark of Oregon, safeties Joseph Perkins of Arizona and T.J. McDonald of USC, linebacker Mason Foster of Washington, and linebacker Myron Beck of Washington State. Also nominated for special teams play were kickers Thomas Weber of Arizona State, Bryan Anger of California, place kicker Nate Whitaker of Stanford, cornerback Shareece Wright of USC and place kicker Erik Folk of Washington.

Spanish cardinal dies in Rome
Catholic World News - May 02, 2011
Cardinal Agustín García-Gasco, the retired Archbishop of Valencia, died in Rome of a heart attack in the hours before the beatification of Pope John Paul II. He was 80 years old.
Born in Spain and ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Madrid in 1956, the prelate was ordained Auxiliary Bishop of Madrid in 1985 and became Archbishop of Valencia in 1992. Pope Benedict created him a cardinal during the consistory of 2007; he retired in 2009.
The Latin American Herald Tribune reported that "Garcia-Gasco was one of the most combative bishops regarding the policies of the socialist government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, above all everything connected to certain laws dealing with same-sex marriage … and the so-called 'express divorce law,' among others."
Pope Benedict XVI praised the deceased Spanish prelate for his service to the Church, especially in Valencia, where he was "wisely and generously devoted to her evangelizing actions, tirelessly supporting numerous pastoral initiatives, above all in the area of the teaching and pastoral care of the family."
With Cardinal Garcia-Gasco's death, the number of cardinals has fallen to 198, 115 of whom are eligible to participate in a conclave.

Video conferencing tools can help employees deliver important materials to their supervisors. In fact, meetings with corporate officials can take place via video conference.
Check out the following tips that presenters can use to get ready for a web meeting with corporate administrators.
1. Know your audience - Learn about audience members in advance to determine the best approach to your presentation materials. Find out exactly who is attending to understand what information must be delivered during the meeting.
2. Develop your displays - Supplement your video conference with charts, diagrams and graphs. These displays allow you to distinguish your presentation from ordinary, everyday gatherings. Additionally, be ready to address corporate officials' concerns or questions regarding specific data sets.
3. Stay consistent - A video conference can be intimidating, especially if you are a first-time presenter speaking to your superiors. However, build your confidence by practicing in advance. Be clear and concise throughout your presentation and ensure that you provide audience members with plenty of time to make comments. With a consistent approach, you can make a positive impression on managers throughout the gathering.

Alaska battles Barako Bull for top spot in PBA-A A +A
Saturday, February 16, 2013
MANILA—The Alaska Aces and Barako Bull dispute the top spot when they collide today, while Barangay Ginebra is expected to go full throttle as it faces sister team Petron Blaze in the 38th Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Commissioner's Cup at the Araneta Coliseum.
Both the Aces and the Barako Energy Boosters will be carrying identical 0-2 win-loss slates when they clash at 4:15 p.m. The loser will join Globalport in the second spot.
Ginebra, which will be playing for two straight playing dates, will still parade 6'10" import Herbert Hill when they meet Petron Blaze Boosters in the second game at 6:30 p.m.
Despite a poor performance in two straight losses, Hill will keep his post while the Gin Kings are awaiting his replacement Vernon Macklin, who will be arriving on Monday, according to his agent Sheryl Reyes. The Ginebra management hopes the 6'10" Macklin, a second round draft pick by the Detroit Pistons in 2011 who played with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the NBA Developmental League last year, will fit the team's needs.
Also set to rejoin the league is former import Denzel Bowles, whom San Mig Coffee seeks to replace the ineffective 6'11" Matt Rogers. The 6'10" Bowles, who led the Coffee Mixers to the championship last year, will be arriving today, according to SMC executive Noli Eala.
He is expected to play for the Coffee Mixers on Friday in their game against Rain or Shine at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Bowles, last year's Commissioner's Cup "Best Import" awardee, is playing with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls in the Chinese Basketball Association.

Travel to San Francisco, 1894 to meet a pair of delightful detectives in The Bughouse Affair by Marcia Muller and Bill Pronzini. This first in a new historical mystery series by two Grand Master Award winners (who just happen to be married), introduces partners Sabina Carpenter and John Quincannon. Sabina is a former Pinkerton operative and John honed his skills in the Secret Service. The two combined forces to establish a successful agency in the quickly developing city of San Francisco. Sabina is widowed and dedicated to her job, and John is a bachelor hoping for a more personal relationship with his lovely partner.
The two are working on separate cases while also following press reports of the resurrection of Sherlock Holmes, who has miraculously returned to life and picked San Francisco as his new base of operations. Sabina's case involves the hunt for a slippery lady pickpocket who finds her marks at a large amusement park and other crowded venues. Quincannon is on the trail of a burglar who is targeting the homes of wealthy residents. He finds himself traveling to seedy bars and parlors in the disreputable Barbary Coast while tracking his elusive thief. Eventually, the two realize their cases are connected and the criminals have stepped up their game to include murder. The detecting duo find themselves working feverishly to capture these lawbreakers before additional crimes can be committed, all while dealing with the Sherlock Holmes pretender who has become a surprising rival.
Muller and Pronzini have both entertained readers with their memorable characters Sharon McCone and The Nameless Detective respectively. With this series, this talented couple offers two intrepid detectives in an intriguing historical setting. Readers will be anxious to follow the next case these two embark upon and curious about whether the romantic sparks will continue to fly.
Cars on top of boats on top of roofs. Mountains of debris in flattened urban landscapes. Sea-salty inland lakes miles away from the Pacific coastline. These were all fairly common scenes after the March 11, 2011 earthquake off of the northern coast of Japan caused a series of massive tsunami waves that decimated the eastern coast of the Tohoku region. Only months after the disaster first struck, Gretel Ehrlich, an American travel writer, came to personally view, experience, and record the wreckage and the perseverance of the people and places impacted most by the quake and tsunami. Facing the Wave: A Journey in the Wake of the Tsunami is the insightful, poetic, personal chronicle of her expedition.
After she arrives, Ehrlich makes her way slowly up and down the devastated coastline, stopping by villages, cities, temples, and emergency shelters along the way. She comes to see the depth and variety of responses to the catastrophe in the people she meets and those she travels with, especially her drivers and translators, and their families. Through her conversations, the reader gradually realizes how profoundly Japan's long acquaintance with the tsunami as a natural phenomenon has permeated its culture and worldview. Impermance, uncertainty, and acceptance of what cannot change are rooted in the Japanese character that Ehrlich's portrayal reveals. Still, moments of happiness and joy punch through the sorrow and anxiety that the author and those she meets experience.
Wrenching, inspiring, and compelling, Facing the Wave is an emotional reminder that even though we may no longer see it mentioned on the nightly news, the aftermath of a disaster of this scale lingers for those who lived through it and those who care enough to remember.
Joan Crawford, move over. Kathi Ruta is here, and her daughter, Domenica "Nikki" Ruta, has penned a memoir every bit as disturbing as Christina Crawford's. In With or Without You, Ruta recounts a childhood devoid of innocence, as she is both witness to and victim of numerous crimes. Nikki is the only child of single mother Kathi.They live on the Ruta family compound in Massachusetts. Unlike another family compound in wealthy Hyannisport, the clannish Rutas reside on marshland in blue-collar Danvers in dilapidated housing. Kathi is a manicurist, at one point a prosperous car service owner, but most regularly a drug dealer who liberally indulges in her merchandise.
Ruta shares horrifying tales of growing up with Kathi. The squalid living conditions are punctuated by a revolving series of drug-buying customers who serve as surrogate family; one "uncle" is a known pedophile. Kathi promotes drug use, providing Nikki with her first Oxycontin and stuffing her Christmas stocking with a nickel bag. She keeps Nikki home from school to watch classic movies on TV (ironically, a favorite was Mommie Dearest) and harangues her daughter with language that could blister paint off the walls. Yet Kathi knows her intelligent, book-loving daughter deserves more and cobbles together a private school education which includes boarding school and college, partly funded by drug money. During an especially flush period, they travel to Europe.
Dysfunctional parent-child relationships are complicated. Ruta conveys her mother not as one-dimensional, but larger than life and complex; intensely loving and capable of pushing her daughter to succeed conventionally while simultaneously sabotaging her efforts. With her mother's demons dogging her along the way, Ruta struggles to launch her own adulthood while deciding what role her mother can continue to play in her life. Recent memoirs in this same vein include Jeanette Walls' The Glass Castle and The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok.
Newbery Award-winning author Karen Cushman has returned to children's literature with an exceptionally well-crafted tale. In Will Sparrow's Road, Cushman departs from her characteristically self-sufficient heroines, instead casting a young boy into the role of survivor/protagonist. Will's is a story of survival, of unlikely friendships and self-discovery and what it means to find one's place in the world. Runaway Will Sparrow wasn't always a liar and a thief. There'd been a time when he'd been the village schoolmaster's son, with a mother who smelled of lavender. That was before his mother abandoned him and his drunken father traded him to an innkeeper for ale. Escaping the innkeeper and his threats, Will finds himself on the road, penniless, hungry and alone. But the road, as life, is not a solitary one and Will soon finds himself in the mixed company of scoundrels and tricksters, the marginally honest and the roughly kind.
When chance brings him to the Oddities and Prodigies tent at a local fair, Will finds himself in a most peculiar company. A disgruntled dwarf, a girl with the face of a cat, a pig named Duchess, and other individuals strange to Will's experience round out the motley band.

Devotees of Cushman's previous historical fiction for children, such as Matilda Bone and The Midwife's Apprentice, will not be disappointed in this spirited new coming of age story set in Elizabethan England. With her keen eye for detail and meticulous historical research, Cushman paints a realistic depiction of that world, never attempting to sugarcoat the hard-won lot of her characters. Recommended for readers who have enjoyed Avi's Crispin series, and similar historical tales.
Books about shy children often fail to hit the mark. They treat shyness as something to be overcome, or as a reaction to stress. Eileen Spinelli's When No One is Watching takes an opposite, celebratory position – a funky little girl tells us how she acts when she is alone "I sing like a bird and I swing to the sky," and when she's not: "I hide like the cat alongside the big chair" in rhyming text that swings along with her. Her family and friends don't appear to be pressuring her to interact, and while she is subdued in the middle of a crowd, she is certainly a happy child. Her "best friend Loretta's shy, too" and she describes the ways that they have fun together.
If this were merely an affirming, positive book about a shy child, it would be a nice find. However, illustrator David A. Johnson's pen and ink and watercolor art makes each two-page spread a dance of mood and expressive gesture. His elegant lines describe movement with economy and grace, and show off every exuberant contortion of our shy little girl's active inner life.
Many adults say that reading Judy Blume's novels was a rite of passage during their adolescence. Her books are known for being authentic to the experiences of children and teens. She has never shied away from writing about real issues, and she has won numerous prestigious awards throughout her career. Blume is a cultural icon whose books have sold more than 80 million copies and have been translated into 31 languages, but they had never been adapted into a feature film. That will change this June when a film version of Tiger Eyes, which was originally published in 1981, is released in theaters. After 15-year-old Davey's father is killed in a convenience store robbery, her mother decides to move the family to New Mexico. There, Davey meets a mysterious boy named Wolf, who seems to be the only person who understands Davey's anger and pain. Slowly, Davey begins to deal with her grief and learns to live this new life. At its heart, Tiger Eyes is a story about the Davey facing the sudden loss of someone she loves. Blume, who related to the story because of the sudden loss of her own father, brings authenticity to Davey's experience.
The film version of Tiger Eyes was directed by Blume's son Lawrence, who also co-wrote the screenplay with his mother. Both Judy and Lawrence were recently interviewed by Chelsea Clinton on NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams. Fans will be excited to learn that in that interview Blume revealed that she is currently working on a new novel for adults.
Trust is the often the hardest thing to give to someone, and choosing the wrong person to trust can lead to a loss of power and even danger. Sharon Draper looks at teens and trust in Panic, the latest novel from the award-winning and best-selling author. Diamond is a dancer who wants to become a star. When a friendly man looking for his teen daughter approaches her in the mall, she is quickly drawn in by his openness and admiration of her grace and beauty. He tells her he is a movie producer and invites her to audition for him. She hesitates at first, but the bitterness of losing a recent lead role to another dancer prompts her to go with him. This one bad decision may cost her everything. Diamond's family, friends, and fellow dancers are all shocked at her disappearance, and each deals with it in different ways. Many take a look at their own choices, realizing that they are not always as smart or as safe as they think they are.
Draper has created a compelling story, equal parts mystery and introspection. Relationships between characters—parent and child, boyfriend and girlfriend, and between sisters—are varied and ever-changing. The message is clear: Giving your trust is equal to giving your power away to someone else. When it is given to the wrong person, what can be done to get it back? Fans of realistic teen fiction will enjoy this thought-provoking novel.
Alice Munro is often described as "one of the best living writers of short stories in the English language". While that may be said to avoid too many comparisons as to who is truly the best, the qualifiers are really not necessary. This is proven with her latest collection, Dear Life. In interviews, Munro states that a few of this set of stories are her most autobiographical.
One of the most striking aspects of Munro's stories is the misdirection she frequently provides. Just as the reader is settling in on what is believed to be the main character or main idea of a story, a tangent takes one off into a myriad of different directions. Often taking place in the area Munro knows best, rural Ontario near Lake Huron, these are mostly slice-of-life stories about regular people. In "Haven", for example, a young girl goes to live with her aunt and uncle, two very different people from her missionary parents. Her eyes are opened to another way of life, and her childhood ends. Another story, "Pride", describes two small-town misfits who eventually forge an uneasy friendship. The male protagonist explains his female acquaintance as having a "strange hesitation and lightness about her, as if she were waiting for life to begin. She went away on trips of course, and maybe she thought it would begin there. No such luck."
The author tucks those sorts of breathtaking lines throughout the fourteen stories. Travel, especially by train, takes on a large role, likely a metaphor for our lifelong journeys. The final, titular story, certainly one of the most autobiographical, has many interwoven themes. But above all, the wordplay of Munro's own dear life, while she has witnessed so many holding on for dear life, leaves readers in awe of her writing powers.
In Becky Masterman's chilling debut thriller Rage Against the Dying, heroine Brigid Quinn spent her FBI career hunting the worst sexual predators. She is tough and self-reliant. After Brigid was forced to take early retirement from the FBI, she left that world behind entirely. Now, she now lives a quiet life with her new husband Carlo and their two pugs. Former priest Carlo knows little about that life or the person Brigid was before they met. Everything changes when Brigid's past comes crashing into her present. A man named Floyd Lynch is arrested, and he confesses to being the Route 66 Killer. That case was one of the worst of Brigid's career, resulting in the disappearance of her protégé Jessica. Lynch knows some key details that were never publicized, and he leads authorities to Jessica's mummified remains. However, Brigid has reason to believe that his confession is false. Soon, Brigid realizes that she is being stalked, and she must find the killer to save herself.
Rage Against the Dying, which Masterman originally titled One Tough Broad, brings an exciting new character to the thriller world. Masterman says that her debut novel is "in some respects like a coming-of-age novel for an older woman." Although 59-year-old Brigid is very confident in her strength and abilities, she is still learning about being a wife and friend. Masterman, whose previous career was in forensic textbook publishing, brings a level of realism to the brutal crimes that Brigid has seen. Rage Against the Dying is the kind of thriller that keeps readers up late at night and might make them sleep with the lights on.
The renowned author of African literature, Chinua Achebe, has died in Boston at the age of 82. He is best-known for his seminal 1958 novel Things Fall Apart, read by millions worldwide, and featured in the curriculum and reading lists of countless high schools and universities. This novel follows the life of Okonkwo, a proud Igbo man living in turn of the 19th century Nigeria, and the cultural changes that he must face and accept as British colonialism takes hold of the area and the only life he knows. Achebe also wrote a number of follow-up novels to this groundbreaking story. Confined to a wheelchair for the past twenty years following a car accident, he lived in the United States for the last two decades of his life, and was a professor of African Studies at Brown University in Providence.
Achebe also was a strong proponent of the rights of the people living in the once-breakaway Nigerian state of Biafra. His book There Was A Country: A Personal History of Biafra was published last year. Explaining the Nigerian civil war that took place in the late 1960s, this mélange of memoir and history reminded the world of an oft-forgotten war. Achebe also wrote an allegorical folktale which was republished last year with Mary GrandPré's illustrations. How the Leopard Got His Claws tells the story of a short-lived coup and the resulting return of the original power players, in terms that are understandable for all ages.

200 words of my father, his writing fat, short, happy together brilliant than anyone else, angry and no one dared say a word in front of him, this is my father. Although his father in the distance to do business in normal times, I have never not thought about my father, my father to come back until you know the news, my heart can not help but have a little surprise, I began to look forward to his father back, but also began to recall and the father played a little bit. In elementary school, when other students are part of their small alarm clock, but I did not, but I do not get angry, but he is rather special, because I have a kind of father. Every day he is always night in the weaving, to go to the morning eight or nine began to sleep, the daily routine of this unusual, but I just drilled a loophole. I also remember him very deeply that is the way to wake me up. It was winter, my father was wearing a black hat, black top hat that I saw only the fathers pair of eyes, deep eyes, my father is always a red bed that coat, jacket stained with the black pieces stain, the mother seems to have never washed this dress to the father, the mother may be too busy now! His fathers pants is a large area occupied by the patch, because all black, so it is not clear. Every time my father called me, have no need for him to speak, as long as he opened the door, turn on the lights, I woke up naturally, when my father would open the door to the corridor to the station for a while, that time was still dark the father only just stops for a moment, his mouth does not stop talking about the what, they came. Now think about it, then was it was so beautiful, I really hope this feeling will last forever my heart!

Workforce Diversity at ARM
Diverse Talented Employees
ARM is home to more than 3300 innovative, creative, and talented people from around the world.
With offices and design centers in the UK, throughout Europe, India, Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea Israel, and the USA, opportunities exist nearly everywhere for anyone with the proper skills, talents and a flair for innovation.
Our employees often come directly from centers of academia in many countries, ready to put their ideas and careers in motion at ARM. Many others have sought careers at ARM after gaining experience at other high tech enterprises as they advanced their careers. These men and women are what make ARM a success in the highly competitive world of IP and related products.
ARM is proud of its diverse workforce, a workforce made up of people of all ages from cultures and countries around the world. ARM is seeking the best of the best to take it to the next level.
At ARM, it is about where you are going, not where you came from.
Samuel Chiang, MS Electronics and Computer Engineering, APAC Field Team Manager
"ARM is a game changer in our industry, so it's very exciting to work with partners to get our technologies into the latest consumer products and to reach new markets. For example, ARM CPUs are powering a number of tablets, products that are fundamentally changing consumer behavior. Our CPUs are also bringing smartphones into an affordable price range in emerging markets. Which means I get to work with colleagues from different parts of the world; we learn from each other while we work towards common goals."
Auron Mejzini, MS Microelectronics System Design, Graduate engineer in the Processor Division
"The main attraction to ARM for me was its leading position in processor design and its huge influence on the world of electronics, in particular smartphones and tablets. In fact, I first heard about ARM during my studies when we used the ARM instruction set for a project. I work in the hardware section of processor design, and my tasks have mostly been in the verification side of processor design. I believe the best thing about ARM is its flat hierarchy and the ease in which you can approach fellow employees, from whom I've learned a great deal so far. My highlight would have to be my second rotation in the Cortex-A53 project (our latest architecture CPU). I've learned a huge amount about microarchitecture and verification and was given the liberty to add my ideas."
Shyam Sadasivan, MS Computer Engineering
"When the company I joined after university in California was acquired by ARM, I started to think about how to get a wider perspective of our now largely expanded business. The Marketing Rotation Program caught my eye; this was a program designed for engineers like myself aspiring to move into a more commercial role. I spent a year working in different marketing teams contributing to ARM's product and ecosystem management strategy. I subsequently moved into full time roles in Cambridge in product management and licensing that had a heavy commercial focus. I am now part of the ARM India team where I have taken on a new challenge that focuses on enhancing operational efficiency in a growing organization. I feel very lucky to be working in an environment where there is a genuine interest in employee goals and aspirations along with a strong focus on personal development."
Personal Development
As a leader in our field, it is important to ensure that we keep the best at their best and we aim to provide an engaging environment for ARM employees where we can fully develop our personal and collective potential better than elsewhere.
Continual self-betterment through reflection and feedback, coaching and mentoring, training and education, is the lifeblood of personal and organizational change. Our aim is to promote the development of everyone both individually and in teams to achieve their potential, enhance their ARM adventure and enable them to contribute to the wider success of ARM.
A variety of global programs combined with individual development planning through regular feedback and development reviews enable ARM employees to map out their own career path and connect with other talented colleagues on challenging projects.
Some of the global development programs include: Global Induction Program; Graduate Development Program; ARM Leadership Program; and, Commercial Development Program. In addition, there are clear technical career paths for everyone. And who knows? Maybe you could be our next technical Fellow.
Community Outreach
TeamARM is our global team building and charitable fundraising employee network. Local employee groups run a range of TeamARM events, bringing together employees from across the business to have a positive impact on society. The wonderful thing about TeamARM is that any employee can come forward with an idea or offer to support an event. This leads to a truly diverse set of events, with the benefits going to a range of charities and community groups.
In 2012 TeamARM arranged and held a number of events across the organization from a sponsored London to Cambridge bike ride, 10k fun runs, hosting charity concerts, to arranging blood drives in India and climbing the Frost Tower in Austin. No challenge is ever too small.

What happens when you task 50 Short Games and Space Funeral creator thecatamites (Stephen Murphy) with a month-long pageant in which participants are challenged to create a game based on a single song? The answer is as unpredictable as expected, involving a planet of singing mice, a dead dog, and dancing skeletons.
Ever fermenting, thecatamites put his colouring pens to paper for eleven games altogether, stuffing them all into his "HARMONY SUMMER HARDPACK TAPE 11-IN-1".
His disclaimer of "I hate music" seems disingenuous considering the show of eclecticism across his selection of songs. Anything goes: out-of-tune guitars, punchy punk anthems, upbeat Sicilian folk music. Potato-pressed out of these foundational tracks is a tale of a peculiar ex-detective lamenting the old days, and an erratic water gun fight that finds joy in accidental destruction, plus many more that are equally self-contained.
Favourites naturally emerge out of playing through all eleven of these games, and so it's those few that stood out to me that'll form my focus below. The rest of the surprising videogame mixtape can be played at your own leisure right in your browser, so go and dive right on in.
Tarantella Sicilienne
This short story is told with equal shades historical retelling and surrealism. The pippy tune and its grainy quality adds the screwball comedy feel of a ragtime documentary. In essence, it's about a provident farmer who is hated by his kids as he spends the seasons harvesting wheat in his field. Characters disappear, are haunted by dreams, and then the dog dies. It all comes to a rather depressing and unforeseeable end.
Dance of the Inhabitants of the Court of King Philip XIV (of Spain)
We Will Vacation
An energetic garage punk song enthuses a four-way water gun fight across a house and its surrounding lawn. Chairs fall and plants are crippled as you give chase, squirting water at your friends, entirely losing yourself in the joie de vivre.
Valse Sentimentale
A peculiar ex-detective laments the loss of crime and murder in a city where he once served. He blames realist fiction and the stylization of hardboiled detectives such as Dick Tracy for causing the downfall. It's probably the most recognizably thecatamites game in the pack. The melancholic wobbly notes of the Theremin only add to the omnipresent strangeness.
