The 2011 Danish/Swedish co-production "Bron/Broen" presented a unique and irresistible premise. The halves of two human bodies -- one a politician, the other a prostitute -- are found on the massive five-mile Öresund bridge that connects Sweden and Denmark. The discovery of the partial corpses sets off a series of murders by a killer intending to point out the societal problems plaguing both countries, forcing two mismatched detectives, Saga Norén (Sofia Helin) and Martin Rohde (Kim Bodnia), from each side of the bridge to team up to solve the case. Coming on the heels of some immensely popular made-for-TV crime stories -- "The Killing" in Denmark and the adaptations of Stieg Larsson's "Millennium trilogy" in Sweden -- the series itself functioned as a team-up for the two countries' public service television networks, which co-produced the series.
Given the fact that the series was a success throughout the world, finally arriving in the U.S. via Hulu today, an American remake of the material was seemingly unavoidable. FX's take on the series, which stars Demián Bichir and Diane Kruger and premiered in July of last year, made some drastic changes to the original premise. Instead of focusing on the subtle and almost imperceptible differences and societal problems of two similar countries, "The Bridge" situates its story in El Paso and Ciudad Juárez on the US/Mexico border.
A more faithful remake of the original series probably would have dealt with a Canadian and an American police officer solving these crimes (and indeed FX's original plan was to set the series around Ambassador Bridge connecting Detroit with Windsor, Ontario), but perhaps the pulpy possibilities and wealth of underexplored social tensions offered by the U.S.'s southern border and a need to distance the series from AMC's remake of "The Killing" in setting and color palate made the change unavoidable.
Both series present two points of interest for viewers -- the serial killer narrative and the exploration of the differences between the two countries in which the story takes place. FX's series actually managed to handle the story of the killer and the ultimate reveal of his intentions far better than the original series.
It introduced the killer earlier and integrated the character better with the other cast members. The improvement is clearest in the series' dénouement -- a stand-off set on the titular Bridge of the Americas -- where the killer's motives throughout the series are revealed once and for all. The scene utilizes a significant character whose Scandinavian counterpart was unceremoniously killed, giving every moment greater weight and significance for every character involved.
The American "The Bridge" places less emphasis on the killer's social criticism -- the original Scandinavian drama has the killer offering up a series of five societal truths that he plans to expose throughout his killing spree. This numerical count-down device feels indebted to David Fincher's "Seven" -- and when it's clear that the killer has other, more personal motives -- too insubstantial to take seriously. While the FX version of the killer still targets victims of different social stature, he is allowed to be less literal about his criticism, and the moniker "the truth terrorist" used in the original series never gets uttered by detectives Sonya Cross and Marco Ruiz, played by Kruger and Bichir.
But even if the killer is less pointed in his criticism, an exploration into the issues affecting Mexico and the U.S. is unavoidable. Since the uneven distribution of wealth effects people in both Scandinavia and North America, "The Bridge" is able to use similar versions of the subplots that take place in "Bron/Broen," but with increased focus on drug running, tunnels underneath the border and illegal immigration from one country to the other -- important issues that could never have been tackled by the original series.
But if "Bron/Broen" was somewhat clumsy about the reveal of its main antagonist, you never got the sense that it didn't take its milieu seriously. It's therefore a bit of a shame to see how the Juárez and El Paso of "The Bridge" seem less like reality and more indebted to the pulpy universes of other television shows dealing with similar issues in similar locales.

Description: A wealthy and mentally disturbed spinster (Sandy Dennis) goes to extraordinary lengths to assuage her loneliness in Robert Altman's 1969 psychological gothic thriller. On a very cold and rainy Vancouver day, she notices a shivering blond youth (Michael Burns) sitting alone on a park bench. She offers him food and shelter and the apparently mute teenager accepts. Every night she locks his bedroom door, but the boy goes in and out of his room through the fire escape window, returning early next morning without her knowledge. She eventually attempts to seduce him and the boy soon learns who's in control of their relationship and how far she'll go to keep it that way. Masterfully shot by legendary cinematographer Leslie Kovacs (Easy Rider).
The Film:
Made immediately before MASH, this has Sandy Dennis, in her characteristic role as a frustrated spinster, picking up a dropout (Burns) on a Vancouver park bench and inviting him home for food, care and shelter. The results are distressingly predictable (though, to be fair to Altman, this area of modern Gothic hadn't been quite so overworked in 1969). With signs of the visual daring evident in Altman's later work, however, there is sufficient interest in his treatment of yet another woman character going bananas to repay committed admirers.Excerpt from TimeOut Film Guide located HERE
Robert Altman's inauspicious first theatrical feature—recognizably his work, meandering zooms and all, but the material is somewhat pretentious and hackneyed: spinster Sandy Dennis picks up hippie Michael Burns in a Vancouver park, and, needless to say, goes nuts. The intermittent homophobia isn't exactly winning either (1969).Excerpt from Jonathan Rosenbaum at the Chicago Reader located HERE
Image : NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.
Like many Altman films That Cold Day in the Park is highly textured looking thick with some intentionally hazy (through the rain etc.) sequences modest Blu-ray transfer from Olive Films. This is only single-layered and contrast looks a shade dusty - but this is probably more the condition of the original production. I don't know that dual-layering would benefit the visuals extensively. Laszlo Kovacs cinematography has some curious, obtuse touches that seem more significant in 1080P. Detail is modest and there is no real depth but there is some grain and hints of noise. If you didn't know better - you might accept these visuals style to be very Altman-esque. It looked quite heavy in-motion which I can only presume is very accurate.
Audio :
The audio comes in the form of a DTS-HD mono track at 933 kbps. There is no depth or range to speak of but it seems a faithful transfer without flaws. Johnny Mandel does the score and it benefits from the lossless rendering. There are no subtitles and my Momitsu has identified it as being a region 'A'-locked.
Extras :
No supplements - not even a trailer which is the bare-bones route that Olive are going with most of their releases.

UK Traffic Law
Ask an UK Traffic Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi, yes, unfortunately it was a private seller. I believe that if I can get the MOT quashed, as such by VOSA, then, in theory at least, when I bought the car, it did in fact not have 12 months MOT, as stated and was therefore advertised incorrectly.
Also, if the appeal is upheld, the car would have been in an un roadworthy condition at the time of sale and, if I am correct, then the seller has committed an offence under the road traffic act.
Thank you for the reply.
Two of the MOT failures that have been picked up are potentially dangerous, one being a problem with the suspension on the rear of the car, the other with one of the front wheels having seriously worn components. These points alone I believe are sufficient for him to have committed an offence under the RTA.
The seller in a phone conversation admitted to "tightening" this loose wheel, so knew of an underlying problem with the front wheel.
I am in the process of contacting the previous owner, the one the seller bought the car off only four months ago, to find out if at the time he bought the car, he was aware of any problems that were not fixed by him and simply covered over. This could give me more evidence that he sold me an un roadworthy car. If I can prove this, I believe I could also pursue him under the misrepresentation act which in turn, could result in any "contract" between us being undone.
I would much rather try and get my money back from the person I bought the car from, as I believe him to be a very dishonest person, however, I am more than willing to go after the MOT tester.
Assuming when VOSA look at the car and deem the MOT was issued when, in fact it shouldn't have been, that would be enough proof for the courts.It is I believe an offence to sell an un roadworthy vehicle and on this evidence I strongly believe that is exactly what occurred.
Whether or not the seller knew that or not again I believe is not important (ignorance of the law being no defence). The important point being that the offence was committed and I would be entitled to compensation.
Ok, thank you. One last point, is it possible to put a claim in against both the seller for misrepresentation and the MOT centre for negligence? I'm not sure how the law works you see!!

Wow, Nicky looks hideous.

I'll give you the decent bod, but she's a butter face.
although, at least she's not a stupid spoiled whore like her sis.
Hot bod, toned but not at all emaciated. Her head looks weirdly small for her body though. Is it just me?
Damn! These are not pretty girls! How much longer will my eyeballs continue to be assaulted?
is this for real? why does the pic look fake? if you look carefully, it looks like someone cut her head off and put it on someone else's body.
I know it looks very photo shopped.
oh stop hatin. its a beautiful pic. no rolls and no ribs. and a sense of humor! But i never really noticed that she has a lawwwng torso…is she especially tall? then again im 5'3. everyone is tall to me. she looks beautiful. dont fight it ya'll. aint no one takin URRR photograph to raise money! (then again i dont know what ya'll r doin in yo' sparr time)

That pose has about as much sensuality as a dog licking something off the floor.

okay, at least she's not as annoying as paris. i'll give her that.
No way that is NOT her!! I think's her face is dubbed on someone else's body!!
OMG!! I just threw up a bit in my mouth!

Business Case for Diversity, My Foot
May 27, 2016
The Court refused to hear an appeal in the case of Boy Scouts of America v. Wyman, effectively resulting in a defeat for the Scouts, according to reports on CNN and in the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court already ruled that the Boy Scouts can ban homosexual scout leaders. What was at stake here was whether the state of Connecticut can drop the Scouts from its list of charities that receive donations from a state employee charitable-giving program. With its refusal to take up the appeal, the high court gave Connecticut the go-ahead to exclude the Boy Scouts from the payroll-deduction plan.
The Scouts receive about $10,000 from the Connecticut program.

Khan ready for career-defining bout with Maidana
Amir Khan has reached the precipice of serious boxing stardom. Although he just turned 24 on Wednesday, Khan realizes his next few fights are likely to determine whether he joins Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. among the elite, or turns out to be an overhyped mediocrity.
Khan is eager to find out for himself, because he's got his eye on much more than a few gaudy title belts. He dreams of global domination - Nike commercials, ridiculous wealth and one-name recognition beyond his native England and his ancestral Pakistan, where he's already the biggest thing going.
If Khan (23-1, 17 KOs) can't defend his WBA 140-pound title in his Las Vegas debut against Argentina's Marcos Maidana on Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, those dreams will recede into the distance. Khan isn't eager to chase them down again.
"If I want to be the champion I say I am, I have to win fights like this," Khan said. "I have to leave a statement in the States. I want to get people talking about me, to start looking forward to my fights over here. Fighting in Las Vegas, and beating somebody as good as Maidana, is the only way to do that."
Although each fighter accused the other of ducking him in the months leading up to the bout, Khan isn't shying away from the pressure. He's been carrying an awful lot of it on his slim shoulders ever since he won a silver medal at the Athens Olympics, where the boy from Bolton became a darling of the British press and embarked on his well-covered path up the boxing ladder.
Khan has a winning personality, dazzling athletic skill, strong promotional backing and a multicultural appeal that all seem perfectly packaged for the success he seeks. What he doesn't have are victories over his sport's elite - but there are plenty of opportunities in the stacked junior welterweight division starting with Maidana (29-1, 27 KOs), who also aspires to take control of the weight class with his raw punching power.
"It's like a freight truck hitting a Ferrari," Golden Boy promoter Richard Schaefer said.
Khan traveled from Hollywood to the Philippines this fall during four months of training with Pacquiao guru Freddie Roach, who pitted his top two pupils in multiple sparring sessions. Khan has been a near-perfect fighter since upending his camp after his only loss, a stunning first-round knockout by Breidis Prescott in September 2008.
"If that loss hadn't happened, I don't think I'd be here," Khan said. "I don't think I ever would have sparred with Manny Pacquiao. When everything is going well, you don't think you need to do anything else. I had to lose that fight to rebuild myself and get to where I am now."
After making his U.S. debut last May in a one-sided win over Paulie Malignaggi, Khan landed in boxing's capital city with his most respected opponent to date. He acknowledges hoping to return to England for this fight before making a bigger splash next year, but Maidana's apparent reluctance to fight in Europe put the fight in Las Vegas.
The bout also is a breakthrough for Maidana, whose only loss was a split decision to Andreas Kotelnik in February 2009. Maidana jumped to the division's forefront last year with a thrilling win over Victor Ortiz, who will fight on their undercard at Mandalay Bay.
While Maidana is thought to lack Khan's speed and skill, his pure power has impressed every opponent - including Ortiz, who knocked down Maidana three times in the first two rounds of their bout before Maidana stopped him in the sixth. If Maidana connects with a big punch, Khan's chin will be tested in a way it hasn't been since his loss.

Carolyn (that's "lyn" not "line") was the first victim to come to Walmart with me ever. See the TREKS page for the whole slideshow! I'm convinced she was a ballerina but she swears she stopped dancing at age 6. I guess that kind of grace just lingers…
This photograph was taken in our other bff's West Village apt in NYC. The three of us are snack table snobs and have hosted some serious snack-filled parties in our day. The aftermath of which is usually a lot messier than the kitchen you see here!
This skirt is a printed version of the Pull on Skirt from the "Ex-Ballerina Chic Look" and yesterday's post. The bandeau can be found in the lingerie section at Walmart. It's a great piece to tuck under any high waisted bottom.

This is the same generator invented by tesla, which was either hidden or failed or whatever. Seems this guys plans on producing around February if the date is accurate. What do you think? Is it a complete load or did this guy manage to put magnets to good use?
Modern science tells us that:

Personally im hopeful but sceptical. Even if it really works the dude will either be snuffed or bought off.

Hello fellow map-making enthusiasts! I found the guild when I searched the web to find out how to make a "proper" map.

If this poll holds up, the GOP is truly lost. Especially after his birther nonsense.
Nineteen percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents questioned in the poll say that as of now, they'd be most likely to support Trump for next year's GOP presidential nomination. Trump says he'll decide by June whether he runs for the White House. An equal amount say they'd back Huckabee. The former Arkansas governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate says he'll decide by later this year if he'll make another bid for the White House.
Twelve percent say they'd support former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, who was the party's 2008 vice presidential nominee, with 11 percent backing former Massachusetts Gov. and 2008 White House hopeful Mitt Romney and the same amount supporting former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Seven percent say they are backing Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, another 2008 presidential candidate, with five percent supporting Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who enjoys strong backing from many in the Tea Party movement. Everyone else registers in the low single digits.
So he's getting some good publicity right now for his TV show, but is he serious?
Well, the following video makes it seem like he will, regardless of the outcome of the primaries.
And yet he still brings up the birther issue. Jeezus…
My initial advice to him still stands. He should run as an indy who is beholden to no party. After all, he has always branded himself as a maverick so an indy run fits perfectly into his personal narrative. But he's letting his ego (shocker!) get in the way of common sense.
Or maybe he's not. Maybe this is all just a ploy (likely) to get more people to watch a 7 year old TV show. That's my gut on it.
Regardless, he's definitely making things more interesting.
More as it develops.

Have you ever given money to terrorists? Are you sure?
The Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), an Iranian group based in Iraq and dedicated to overthrowing Iran's rulers, is on the State Department's list of terrorist organizations. But the seven defendants arrested in Los Angeles last February never mentioned that. They never even mentioned MEK.
The FBI says members of the MEK cell told travelers at LAX they were collecting for a group called the Committee for Human Rights (CHR). They carried binders with photographs of starving children in Iran. The FBI estimates they raised as much as $10,000 a day, which was later used to purchase arms like mortars and rocket-propelled grenades.
Since the Sept. 11 attacks, when President George W. Bush drafted an executive list of 27 terror organizations, the government has embarked on a mission to freeze the assets of the these organizations and their affiliates, and Muslim social service organizations are now coming under scrutiny.
Ties between humanitarian and terrorist organizations are not usually as clear-cut as the MEK/CHR case, which is pending trial. But the difficulty arises when an organization performs humanitarian work, some of which might benefit terrorists, their families or their organizations.
For example, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), a nonprofit charity organization that even its harshest critics admit does humanitarian work -- funding hospitals and schools in the West Bank and Gaza strip -- is criticized by Israeli officials, who say that some HLF money goes to provide monthly stipends to the families of Hamas suicide bombers. HLF, repeatedly denying any connection to Hamas, has been investigated by the State Department since at least 1996.
Founded in Los Angeles as the Occupied Land Fund and now based in Richardson, Texas, the HLF maintains a strong local presence in Los Angeles. "We get good support from Southern California," HLF President Shukri Baker told The Journal, though he could not say what percent of the $13 million raised last year comes from Los Angeles.
At least two other Muslim charities that collect contributions in the United States -- Benevolence International and the Global Relief Foundation -- are reportedly under investigation for ties to terrorist groups because their relief work benefits Afghanistan, thus requiring them to work with the approval of the Taliban.
The new scrutiny is late in coming, says journalist and terrorism expert Steven Emerson, who for years has warned that militant Islamic radicals had significant abilities both to raise funds and mount military attacks in the United States.
As director of the Washington, D.C., research group Investigative Project, Emerson has testified to Congress numerous times on the topic of terrorism, and his 1994 PBS documentary "Jihad in America" has been cited as an impetus for anti-terror legislation.
The most common way for terrorists to raise funds in America is by hiding behind nonprofit organizations, Emerson says.
Until 1996 -- three years after the first terrorist attempt to destroy the World Trade Center -- Americans were able to legally donate funds to terrorist groups, so long as the money went to the social service arm of the organization. In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA), outlawing any type of support for terrorist groups and requiring the State Department to publish an annual list of foreign terrorist organizations.
AEDPA changed law enforcement "very little," Emerson said. "There was no political will to enforce it. There was no determination made with respect to the front groups." Since very few groups openly raise funds for terrorism on U.S. soil, blocking the labyrinth of terror funding is impossible without concerted enforcement efforts.
Part of the reluctance to aggressively pursue the fundraising efforts may have been a belief that funds flowing from the United States would keep the terror far from home, Emerson says. "I think a Faustian deal was made. U.S. officials looked the other way while terrorists raised funds here, as long as the attacks were not carried out on U.S. soil," he said.
Another part of the reluctance to go after the fundraising may stem from the humanitarian relief work of some of the organizations. Muslim social service groups have long resented terrorism experts like Emerson, whom they accuse of casting a pall over the legitimate work of the vast majority of Muslims in America.
Following a government raid in early September on an Internet service provider affiliated with HLF and heightened government suspicion after the Sept. 11 attacks, HLF posted a message on its Web site denying any affiliation with terror. "The necessity in posting this statement is to respond to the false and reckless reporting and rumors regarding the Foundation that has [sic] taken place the past few weeks," it read, in part. The statement was signed "For the needy" by Baker, the HLF president, who told The Journal: "Many Jewish media outlets seek to distort the nature of our organization. We are a Muslim charity; we are not terrorists, and we do not support terrorism in any form."
The U.S. government has identified many terrorist organizations whose funds are to be frozen by U.S. banks and allies; these include not only Islamic militant groups, but groups that are Irish, Japanese -- and Jewish.
Los Angeles is the international headquarters for the Jewish Defense League (JDL), founded by the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, who went on to found Kach, a now-outlawed political party in Israel. Kach and its splinter group, Kahane Chai, are on the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations. Yet the JDL has not been affected by the crackdown on terrorism. "We're basically a Diaspora organization. We have no relationship with Kach or Kahane Chai," said JDL President Irv Rubin. "They're on the State Department list [of terrorist organizations]. It would not behoove us to associate with them."
But for now, Islamic charities are the only ones under scrutiny.
The focus on Islamic groups during the current battle against terrorism by no means implies that most Muslim groups or only Muslim groups support terrorism. As Emerson explains it, "Terrorism is terrorism. The difference remains in what informs or instigates it. What makes Islamic terrorism, as a phenomenon, different is its global reach, its transnational nature and the specific intent of targeting the United States."

Kelsey's new Grammer'Frasier' star Kelsey Grammer has become a father again.
The 49-year-old actor and his wife, 36-year-old former Playboy model Camille Donatacci, have become parents to a baby boy, who was born through a surrogate mother.
The couple have named their new son, who weighed 7lbs 11oz, Jude Gordon Grammer.
Kelsey and Camille already have a two-year-old daughter, Mason, who was also born to a surrogate mother.
The pair decided to become parents through surrogacy when Camille was told by doctors that her advanced irritable bowel syndrome would significantly reduce her chances of having a normal pregnancy.
Kelsey, who became television's highest-paid star in 2001 with a C$125million two-year deal, also has two daughters from previous relationships - Spencer, 19, from his first marriage to Doreen Alderman, which ended in 1990, and Greer, 12, with make-up artist Barrie Buckner.
The actor met current wife Camille at an MTV party eight years ago following the breakdown of his engagement to Tammi Alexander.

Ofrezca a familias trabajadoras una oportunidad de dar su primer paso para salir de la pobreza.
In 2008, Kenya and South Africa became the first African nations to enact SACCO-specific regulation. Kenya's regulation was designed to strengthen the safety and improve the performance of the country's deposit-taking financial cooperatives.
Of the country's more than 4,000 SACCOs, about 220 take withdrawable deposits in addition to share-based savings. These SACCOs have 12 months from the time of their application to the regulatory authority, the SACCO Society Regulatory Authority (SASRA), to gain licensure. At the law's passage, authorities expected only 25% of those institutions to be able to comply with licensing standards. World Council's consultancy is aimed at increasing the number of SACCOs that qualify, with special attention on those not currently meeting capital adequacy requirements, but which show potential to do so.
World Council is employing and adapting a number of its widely used financial tools to assess the financial state of Kenya's deposit-taking SACCOs and their ability to comply with the new regulations.

Tonight On "I Survived A Japanese Game Show"
July 15, 2008 09:00 AM by Christine McDow
The fun continues tonight on a brand new episode of I Survived A Japanese Game Show and you have come to the right place to get your first glimpse into what happens.
Two games in this hour that will be played include Big Baby Go Boom and Big Chicken Butt Scramble.
In Big Baby Go Boom the contestants are dressed like babies and spun in a giant crib. When the crib stops the dizzy infants have to meander their way through an obstacle course with twocups of milk that they have to use to fill a huge baby bottle. The team that gets the most milk in the bottles wins.
In Big Chicken Butt Scramble the contestants are covered in oil and then have to roll around in feathers till they are covered before going to a huge next and trying to pop big yellow gunk filled balloons with their butts. The contestant that pops the most balloons wins.
Sounds like fun, but with all this time about size you have to wonder if those Japanese guys are trying to make up for something.

Given the bombardment of political rhetoric and the fact-shrouding that has saturated our news streams and tweet feeds, I thought it would be appropriate if I kept this preview to just the facts. That means no studies that do or do not confirm that Mitt Romney's budget plan, or lack thereof, does or does not place the burden of deficit reduction on the middle class. No discussion as to whether President Barack Obama scheduled an appearance on "The View" the day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in New York. None of that. Just facts And they are as follows:
- 1994: The last time the Raiders won a game in Atlanta.
- 2000: The last time the Raiders beat the Falcons.
- 2009: The last time the Raiders won in the Eastern time zone.
- 0-2: The Raiders road record this season.
- 19-72: The cumulative score of those two games.
- 10-59: The cumulative score of the Raiders two games against the Falcons since 2000.
- 350.5: The average yards gained by the Falcons at home.
- 477.5: The average yards allowed by the Raiders on the road.
- 28.5: The average points scored by the Falcons at home.
- 36.0: The average points allowed by the Raiders on the road.
I'll stop there. You don't need the facts to know that the Raiders are the inferior team, just as you don't need to know that Obama's policies have net 125,000 jobs. What you need to know is if things will be different going forward. This requires extrapolation and guesswork. A whole lot of guesswork.
In the Raiders' case, I'd guess no. I'd guess that history will prove the future, and that the Raiders will lose, by a large margin. As for Romney and Obama, that's for you to figure out (I'm sure Stan would love to help, if you needed some … advice).
Why They'll Win
My faith in the Raiders is pretty low, as you've read. Still, I can't count them out completely. The NFL turns out shocking upsets weekly. It happened last week with the Colts, with the Vikings in Week 4 (and 3), and even with the Raiders in Week 3. So, perhaps the Raiders of Week 6 can be those of Week 3. Who knows?
If they do win, it'll likely be because Darren McFadden replicates his Week 3 performance. But to do so would be tricky and improbable. What's more, they'd need to slow the Falcons' passing attack in some fashion. Since Pat Lee, Joselio Hanson, and Michael Huff have been pretty ineffectual, the onus is on the defensive line, namely Andre Carter, to disrupt the timing of quarterback Matt Ryan.

Raiders vs Falcons: Sketching out a game plan for Oakland by Christopher Hanson
Oakland Raiders hope to follow Atlanta Falcons' blueprint by Jerry McDonald
Raiders hope to spoil Falcons' plans by Vic Tafur
Key Matchups: Raiders vs Falcons by Levi Damien
Who We're Taking
Oakland Raiders @ Atlanta Falcons (-10.5)
Bay Area Sports Guy: Just like before the season began, I have no idea what to expect from Dennis Allen's team following the bye week. But I do expect the extra time to rest and prepare to help the Raiders stick around in this one, despite Atlanta's distance from Oakland. Pick: Raiders
East Bay Sports Guy: I hate to think that the Raiders are primed for a blowout, but it would foolish to expect otherwise. I'm not sure what's more dismal about the Raiders: their play on the road, or their play in the secondary. Whatever the case, the Falcons are built to exploit such weaknesses. They possess size, speed, and 2,400 miles over Oakland. Which is to say, you may want to look away for this one, Raiders' fans. Pick: Falcons
Bay Area Stats Guy: I don't feel good about this pick and I came very close to overruling the system. The Raiders are not a good team, the Falcons are. This game in Atlanta. All bad signs for the Raiders. However they are coming off a bye and that may help them keep it close. The model protects a touchdown margin and a 58% chance of victory for the Falcons so we will see. Pick: Raiders
Ruthless Sports Guy: Don't ask me why, I really don't know. I have a good feeling that I'm going to get burned here, but I just can't see getting 10.5 points and not taking it. The Raiders aren't as bad as they looked in Denver. Right? Pick: Raiders
Bay Area Duck Guy: With a spread like this, I'd usually take the underdog. But let's be honest, the Falcons are very tough at home, and the Raiders are simply not playing good football. Matt Ryan and co. can easily win by more than eleven points at home. Pick: Falcons
Power Rankings
As you can imagine, the Raiders' shellacking at the hands of the Broncos did not endear them to pundits and analysts. These are current rankings, but the change represents the difference prior to Week 4.

Clever Beans is an independent development studio based in the North West of England, headed by Martin Turton and Andrew Newton. They are both experienced developers who left behind the "big studio" titles in order to focus on original titles with the emphasis firmly on the fun. The recently released 4 player action-brawler When Vikings Attack! is the first independent cross-play, cross-save title for the PlayStation 3 and Vita.
You guys have quite an extensive list of titles you've worked on in the past, why the decision to dive into creating smaller titles?
In the last few years we had both spent quite a bit of time working as developers for a large publisher, and we had seen project after project canned (cancelled) after putting loads of work into them. Also, working for perhaps three years on a project (which we have done in the past) can get pretty boring. We both felt that shorter projects (about a year), and having more control of the project ourselves, was what we wanted to do, so we decided to take the risk and set up on our own. As it happens, the studio where we were working has since been shut down, so that move doesn't seem like such a risk any more, with hindsight.
What is the story behind the name "Clever Beans?"
It doesn't really mean very much, to be honest!
When Vikings Attack! appears to be quite the accomplishment for a team that consist of two developers, how did the concept come to exist?
Actually it wasn't just two of us. The core game was built by just us two, originally with "programmer" graphics of boxes and stick-men. We spent some time developing this prototype using a largely trial-and-error process, discarding anything that wasn't fun and exploring any elements that (sometimes accidentally) turned out to be entertaining to play with. We have since used a team of contractors (between 5 and 9 people at various stages) to do artwork, animation, sounds and music, and additional programming, with almost all being talented people that we have worked with in the past.
How long was "When Vikings Attack" in development? Why go with the decision on using cel-shaded graphics?
It took over a year to build the first prototype and pre-production (though we were not both working full-time on the project during this phase). After that it has taken a year to build the levels and scripting, and to create all the graphics and sound. The cel-shaded graphical style was chosen partly because this cartoony, fun style suits the gameplay, but also partly because this style of artwork can be quicker to author than a more photo-realistic style (as you might have guessed)
Since this is you guys first release, having cross-play compatibility and cross save between the Vita and PS3 seems like a daunting task. Were there any bumps along the way? Was cross compatibility something you guys wanted to implement from the beginning?
We have done cross-platform development before, but this was our first Vita game. The cross-compatibility feature was something that Sony wanted from day one, but we didn't need much persuading to do this, as it seemed such a good selling point. In the end it wasn't that difficult – not really much more difficult than any other networked multiplayer game. The most difficult factor was the fact that we were one of the first games to do cross-play, and that meant that all of the PSN libraries to do this were still being written whilst we were developing the game.
It is starting to look as though Sony is allowing smaller developers to flourish on the PSN store with great unique title. Was this the reason why "When Vikings Attack" is an exclusive title? How did you partnership with Sony flourish?
We just got in touch with them and arrange to show our demo. We found that all publishers are much more likely to take you seriously if you show a demo – it's very difficult for people to visualise what a game will actually be like, without playing it. And yes, there have been quite a few good games published by Sony that are from smaller, more interesting developers, recently – Sound Shapes, Unfinished Swan, Retro City Rampage, to name a few. It seems that Sony are really trying to encourage this sort of thing.
Should we expect any planned DLC?
It's quite possible that there will be some DLC, yes.
What is next for Clever Beans? – besides a well deserved vacation.
We are currently working hard on the Japanese version of the game, as well as some research for a future project. No time to relax!
What upcoming releases are you guys looking forward to playing?
I wish we had time to play more other games… I'm afraid we're still too busy, even now!

Pratt Keeps His Promise, Earns Iowa State Degree
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
Kenny Pratt, a key player on Iowa State's outstanding basketball teams in the late 1990s, earned his degree from Iowa State yesterday, fulfilling a promise he made to his mother before she passed away.
"Before my mother died she told me she wanted me to finish my degree," Pratt said. "I decided to get going and make it happen because I promised her I would. Just having an Iowa State degree and going through the things we went through as a basketball team, it's like putting a stamp on a finished product. This is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me besides my family."
All Cyclone fans remember the undersized Pratt dominating opponents in the paint in his two seasons at Iowa State (1995-96 & 1996-97). Listed at 6-5, but probably closer to 6-3, Pratt used skill, angles and a wide variety of post moves to score on the low block with ease.
The junior college transfer averaged 15.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in his junior season (1995-96), as the Cyclones finished second in the league and won the final Big Eight Tournament title, all from a team picked to finish last in the preseason Big Eight poll. Pratt was named second-team All-Big Eight at the end of the season.
The Cyclones were just as tough in Pratt's senior campaign, tying for third in the Big 12 and advancing to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. Pratt was a Third-Team All-Big 12 pick after averaging 14.7 points and 6.1 rebounds.
Pratt's allegiance to Iowa State began at an early age.
"My older sister, Paula, went to Iowa State," Pratt said. "When I was about 11 years old, she used to bring back all of the Iowa State t-shirts, basketballs and jerseys. I remember watching the TV show Webster, and a lot of people didn't notice this, but he used to have an Iowa State flag hanging in his room, so it was programmed in my mind I was going to be a Cyclone."
Pratt currently works for the James "Major" Adams Youth & Family Development Academy, a service center in Chicago for underprivileged children. He's also an AAU basketball coach on the side.
He is grateful to be an Iowa State graduate.
"There are so many people I would like to thank who have helped me out in my pursuit of my degree," Pratt said. "Iowa State Athletics Director Jamie Pollard, Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Thomas Hill and my academic advisor Kathleen Timmons all provided tremendous help and guidance. I couldn't have done it without their assistance."

including a safety,
Sekou Sanyika Earned
Pac-10 Player of Week Honors
Sanyika Pac-10 Player of Week, Bears No. 11 in Poll
Cal linebacker makes case for All-America honors.
October 12, 1998
Berkeley - Cal linebacker Sekou Sanyika, who continues to establish a reputation for big plays, was named today the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in Cal's big upset victory over USC last Saturday.
Sanyika started Cal's dramatic comeback when he sacked SC quarterback Carson Palmer in the endzone for a safety that cut USC's lead to 31-12. The Bears went on to score three unanswered touchdowns to pull out the 32-31 decision in Los Angeles.
Sanyika ended the day with three sacks for minus 20 yards to increase his Pac-10 league-leading total for tackles for losses to 13 on the year. He is on pace to challenge the Cal school record of 26 set by Ron Rivera in 1983 and by Duane Clemons in 1995. Both of those players earned first team All-America honors for their efforts those seasons.
In other Cal news, the Golden Bears were again ranked No. 11 nationally in the Seattle Times computer poll this week, the same rating Cal had a week ago. The poll had Tennessee as the nation's No. 1 team followed by UCLA, Ohio State, Oregon, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Texas Tech, Kansas St., Nebraska, Wisconsin, Cal and Florida State. Other Pac-10 teams were Arizona at No. 21, USC at 23, Washington State at 38, Washington at 41, Oregon State at 43 and Stanford at No. 77.
Head coach Tom Holmoe indicated that the knee injury to starting offensive guard Brandon Ludwig was not as serious as the first time he banged up his knee during fall camp that caused him to miss the first two games of the season. Ludwig is doubtful for this week's game but is hopeful to return for the UCLA game.
The Cal-UCLA game has been selected for television, but the decision as to whether it will be on ABC at 12:30 p.m. or on Fox Sports Net at 3:30 p.m. will not be made until this coming Sunday.

Ten years is a long time.
Ten years the banks looked robust, the Conservative party were unelectable and an African-American President of the United States looked to be a lifetime away.
It's been ten years - a full decade - since Cam'Ron performed in the UK. Rightly lauded for his work at the turn of the Millennium, the rapper's work with The Diplomats still registers.
Since then, though, the hip hop icon's work has utterly changed. New mixtape 'Ghetto Heaven Vol.1' signalled yet another shift, while studio sessions with A-Trak have yet to be unveiled.
Now Cam'Ron has confirmed plans for a rare - extremely rare - UK show. Taking place in London at the Kentish Town Forum on June 3rd, tickets are on sale now.

Bo Dallas face turn
Though it might not actually mean anything, Bo Dallas worked as a baby face during the WWE live event that was held in Abu Dhabi this week. He worked against Curtis Axel, who was doing his new heel routine where he complains about not actually being eliminated from the Royal Rumble and still wants his title shot. Dallas got the victory after a quick roll up. That has led to speculations about a potential face turn for Dallas on television.
February 13, 2015
Bo Dallas returns
Another person that made their return during the WWE live event in Salt Lake City over the weekend was Bo Dallas. Despite not being heavily utilized on television prior to his injury break, he still managed to received a good amount of heel heat from the audience. Dallas cut what was said to be an excellent promo prior to the match against Sin Cara. Since management likes to put over the baby faces at these events, Dallas took the pin fall loss.

Co-defendant in Saleh's Market shooting seeking private counsel
The change comes one week before Richard Gross's scheduled sentencing hearing on March 14.
GOSHEN — A man who pleaded guilty to two counts of murder in connection with the Saleh's Market double homicide is seeking private counsel.
Richard Gross, 22, pleaded guilty in Dec. 9, 2013, less than an hour before his trial. His sentencing hearing was scheduled for March 14, 2014.
During his plea hearing, Gross admitted he assisted in the Sept. 5 robbery at Saleh's Market convenience store at 401 Middlebury St. Jagtar Bhatti, 55, and Pawan Singh, 20, the owner and an employee of the convenience store, were shot and killed during the robbery.
Gross' counsel filed an open plea, which means Judge Terry Shewmaker could sentence any punishment specified by law, according to a news release from the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney.
Related Stories
In Gross' case, both he and the prosecuting attorney would argue Gross' sentence and even present evidence during his hearing.
However, during a hearing Thursday morning, March 6, Gross told the court he was trying to hire a private attorney. Gross was appointed an attorney from the public defender's office.
Gross' attorney, Jeff Majerek, said he could confirm Gross had tried to hire an attorney, but the attorney said he would be out of town until April.
Gross told the court asking to withdraw his plea of guilty, but Shewmaker said the court could not accept the letter if Gross still had counsel.
With eight days left before the sentencing hearing, Shewmaker said the court will proceed March 14 to the extent it is doable.
According to the plea agreement, Gross will reserve the right to appeal his sentence.

The group has special emphasis on cognitive and translational research: moving state-of-the-art brain imaging techniques from the labratory into the clinical practice, and at the same time using the clinical practice, and at the same time using the clinical environmentto generate novel hypothesis about brain function that can be testedin the labratory. The group is also heavily involved in the investigation of basic neuroscience questions dealing with sensory and cognitive processing. In order to gain a better understanding of how the brain accomplishes these tasks, the labratory takes a multimodel approach by using a variety of behavioral and neuroimaging methods, such as fmri, MEG, intra-craniel EEG and psychophysics.

How to cure lactose intolerance
I think I want to try this. Up until last year, I could eat dairy just fine. If I start having a few spoonfuls of homemade yogurt with each meal... Who knows? It'll be delicious, anyway. Two quarts of yogurt would last me quite a while that way . I need to make sure I get the bifidobacterium longum strain ingested somehow. I will have to see what Threelac has and maybe switch to the recommended Jarro-Dophilus.
I don't think I really need dairy in my life, but dammit, it would be really nice to be able to eat some yogurt at least.

Casual style: Prince William, pictured here with Kate, is not one for unnecessary formality. Photo: Reuters
He's no pauper, but he certainly doesn't behave like your average prince.
Prince William has mucked in with the masses and flown cattle class from Memphis to Dallas. He was there with Prince Harry attending the wedding of old friend, Guy Pelly.
Following the festivities, William was beginning his journey back home to Kate and George when he was spotted by local news reporter, Eli Ross.
Ross snapped a picture of the top of William's head and tweeted '#Exclusive pic: I am still amazed #Prince William flies COACH. That's pretty humble/awesome. Who knew?'

The tweet drew a flurry or responses from British newspapers desperate to know details and regular Twitter punters with comments.
''He's as down-to-earth and connected to people like his mom [sic] vs other royals,'' wrote one.

''He'd be criticized [sic] by the British public for wasting tax payers money if you [sic] didn't make such gestures – we pay his bills," wrote another.

The princes were accompanied by taxpayer-funded security guards from Scotland Yard's Royalty Protection Squad. However, they are believed to have paid for their own flights and this is not the first time one of them has flown economy.
In 2011 Prince William and Catherine flew economy from Edinburgh to Manchester while a hungover Prince Harry chose EasyJet to wing his way to London.
While on tour in Australia last month William and Kate flew on both commercial and private military aircraft.

Personal Injury Law
Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer. Get an Answer ASAP
Are you hear in the chat with me?
I wanted to ask you if the testimony you wanted to impeach the expert with was his own testimony. Generally, if the testimony was sworn testimony and it is the testimony of the same expert, you can use it to impeach him. Whether or not you will be allowed to play the audio for the jury is up to the judge. The judge may prefer that you just have a transcript made up and refer the expert to the portion of the transcript where he contradicts what he is saying now. That would be the more standard way of doing this. You would ask the doctor, "do you remember testifying on date X in the case of Y vs. Z that it was your opinion that the sky is blue? So how is it now your opinion that the sky is green?" you can not impeach the expert with the testimony of anyone else, however.
If the testimony is by the same expert, you are generally going to be limited to the portion of the testimony that is contradicted by the testimony in your trial. That is why the judge may not want you to play the entire recording.
Yes it is his own testimony. I know that I can get it trancribed by a court reporter (the CD needs to be sent directly to her, etc). I also know that I can impeach based on the transcript from the prior trial. The problem that the expert testimony is 200 pages long and it costs $3 per page to transcribe. This is the reason I am asking the question regarding playing audio to the jury and the court. I am looking for the precedents (case law).
or even paying just certian part of the audio depending on what we choose to cross-examine and impeach him on.
While all the case law states that what evidence gets in on impeachment is at the sound discretion of the trial judge, here is one case you may find useful where the lower court was found to have abused its discretion in not letting a recording of an earlier hearing into evidence: "Under the unusual facts and circumstances of this case - and with so much riding on the hearing officer's assessment of the credibility of the witnesses at the rehearing - this Court finds that the hearing officer erred in failing to receive into evidence and consider the audiotape of the original February 14, 2012 hearing, which included the apparent contradictory prior testimonies of C.O. Fowler and Sergeant Powers." Bickley v. Fischer, 2013 NY Slip Op 31897, 10-11 (N.Y. Sup. Ct., 2013). "After C.O. Fowler and Sergeant Powers completed their testimony at the re-hearing concluded on May 17, 2012 petitioner sought to introduce his own copy of what he described as an audiotape of the original February 14, 2012 hearing for impeachment purposes. This request was denied by the hearing officer who stated that petitioner's ' . . . last hearing [original February 14, 2012 hearing] has nothing to do with this tier hearing. This is, this is completed independently.' " Id. at 7-8. The case was sent back to the hearing commissioner.

Netscape Navigator 9 for Linux
AOL has just released a new version of Netscape Navigator based on the Mozilla Firefox browser just like its predecessor. Besides cross-platform capabilities, and thus Linux support, version 9 adds new features and a new look.
Version 6.0 was the first to use program code by the Mozilla Foundation under the hood of Netscape Navigator. And the latest version, Version 9, also uses Mozilla code. Based on Firefox 2.0, Navigator uses the Gecko engine to support cross-platform website rendering. Netscape is extensible using Mozilla plugins and styles. But the new browser is more than just Firefox with a new look. The developers have come up with a number of extensions to accelerate the browser.
The Link Pad stores temporary links without the user needing to bookmark pages.
The release notes describe the new features and functions in Navigator 9. One of them is the "Link Pad" (see figure) which stores temporary links without the user needing to bookmark a page. Clicking on a temporary link removes the link from the Link Pad. Temporary links are automatically deleted when you close the brower. This function aims to improve visibility in the favorites menu. The URL correction function attempts to correct incorrect entries. Typos such as ".cmo" instead of ".com" are changed to reflect the correct spelling. In our initial tests, we discovered that this function is not entirely reliable; in a few cases the browser failed to identify the typos, and in some cases the suggestions were wrong. A third difference to Firefox is the integrated mini-browser (see figure). The mini-browser is integrated in the sidebar and displays a second website simultaneously with the display in the main window. Navigator removes barriers for users faced with input boxes too small to type in. Users can now click on the frame to scale the frame as needed. Navigator adds a feature to Firefox's highly accoladed tabbed browsing feature. When a user opens a link in a new tab, the tab inherits the history of the window pointing to the tab.
The mini-browser in the sidebar displays a second website parallel to the main window.
Netscape Navigator 9 is available as a download for Linux, OSX and Windows.

This map is used in my Dark Sun campaign, being a lost cistern under the arena that has become overrun by horrific undead abominations. Due to years of neglect, most of the flagstones have been torn apart by the various motions of escaped beasts and just the ravages of time. The water there is covered with a fog-like material called grave salt, which basically renders it entirely poisonous and is a hazard due to inflicting an awful affliction that causes the target to become obsessed with water and drink it. The result is the targets untimely demise and raising as a salt zombie. The four passages are where the zombies pile into the encounter, with the PCs setting up a defense in the middle. Eventually, zombies break in through one of the walls as well and that's when things really get real.
Anyway, I've used so much of the talent on this forum and now I'm making my own maps (for various reasons) - I felt contributing to the forum was really worth it.

Ben Nelson Still Hedging on Health Reform
Looks like health reform's not out of the woods yet:
Monday night's meeting was unusually long for the Senate, and it featured numerous speeches. One passionate endorsement of the bill came from Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.), who switched parties earlier this year. Specter urged his Democratic colleagues, "Don't let those obstructionists win," one participant recalled.
The room erupted in applause when Specter reminded the group, "I came to this caucus to be your 60th vote." But soon after the speech, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) left the session early, telling reporters he remained undecided.
I know a lot of people out there on the Internet seem to feel that the White House could have saved the public option if only they'd put more "pressure" on Joe Lieberman, Blanche Lincoln, etc. or done some more "arm-twisting" as seen in colorful LBJ anecdotes. Do people think the administration forgot to use its magic pressure button to get Senator Nelson to endorse the deal? Or is it possible that a minority of legislators are relatively immune to pressure and blandishment from the White House?
Compare Nelson's behavior to Arlen Specter's remarks. Specter is from a state that went for Democratic presidential candidates in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008. To stay viable, he'd drifted toward the center, which rendered him unviable as a Republican. So he became a Democrat. But his Democratic credentials are suspect, and there's a credible primary challenger in the field. Specter is very vulnerable to pressure from the White House. Lieberman [EDIT: by which I mean Nelson] is in almost the reverse situation. Objective political reality matters.

The Bachelor
Bachelor Nation Remembers the Late Gia Allemand on Her Birthday
It's a solemn day for Bachelor Nation, on what would have been Gia Allemand's 30th birthday. The Bachelor Season 14 and Bachelor Pad star passed away in August after a suicide attempt. But tonight, her friends and family try to set their sadness aside for a good cause. Gia's mom, Donna Micheletti, along with friend Craig Robinson and a few others, have put together a Celebration of Life for Gia.
In honor of Gia's birthday, a black tie event at Long Island's Chateau La Mer is happening this evening, featuring dinner, dancing, dessert, and drinks. Tickets for the event are a tax-deductible $110, with proceeds going to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. We're sure it will be a solemn event in many respects, but are hopeful that it will raise a ton of funds for this very worthy cause.
Some of Gia's closest friends tweeted touching wishes and remembrances on her birthday:
Craig Robinson: "Happy birthday @GiaAllemand miss u everyday and know you'll be there at ur celebration of life tonight."
He also tagged the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, writing, "Much love to @afspnational hope we raise a lot of $ for u tonight in @GiaAllemand's name"
Jaclyn Swartz: "Celebrating Gia's birthday tonight with people I love. Hope to raise good money for suicide prevention."
Kathryn Sherlock: "Happy Birthday @GiaAllemand!!!Always on my mind; forever in my heart. Love you!"
Gwen Gioia: "@GiaAllemand: Colossians 3:12 this is the type of person I strive to be everyday!" You had a heart of Gold, Gia! Happy Birthday! Miss you everyday. Your spirit is still alive in all who you touched.
She followed up shortly after with an Instagram collage of her friend, writing "Happy 30th Gia! Remembering you and your sweet, spunky self. Shine bright up there."
Holly Durst was less specific about who she was writing to, but her Bachelor Pad co-star must've been on her mind when she tweeted, "Missing my friend today on what would be her birthday. I still miss you..."
