Could have been infinately better...
This review is from: Eragon PC Game
Pros: The concept! I saw the movie, and it made me want to buy the game right away. I just think that it is an amazing concept.
Cons: Well..where to start? Gameplay is pretty much..horrible. The camera has a fixed angle that you cannot change. Graphics were remarkably underdone. Don't get to see enough of Saphira. If you have your keyboard plugged in, it thinks you are CONSTANTLY pushing the button in one direction or another ...etc... etc...
Other Thoughts: This was truly a let-down for me. I absolutely loved the movie, and the game truly left me wanting a much better product. It really feels rushed. I only give it a 3 (rather than a 1) because I liked the concept so much.

Rued Langgaard: Streichquartette Vol.1
Die SACD verwendet eine höhere digitale Auflösung als die Audio-CD und bietet außerdem die Möglichkeit, Mehrkanalton (Raumklang) zu speichern. Um die Musik in High-End-Qualität genießen zu können, wird ein spezieller SACD-Player benötigt. Dank Hybrid-Funktion sind die meisten in unserem Shop mit "SACD" gekennzeichneten Produkte auch auf herkömmlichen CD-Playern abspielbar. Dann allerdings unterscheidet sich der Sound nicht von einer normalen CD. Bei Abweichungen weisen wir gesondert darauf hin (Non-Hybrid).
- Streichquartette Nr. 2, 3, 6; Variationen über "Mig Hjertelig Nu Laenges"
- Tonformat: stereo & multichannel (Hybrid)
- Künstler: Nightingale String Quartet
- Label: DaCapo, DDD, 2011
- Bestellnummer: 2351404
- Erscheinungstermin: 9.4.2012
Erstmals wird auf CD eine Serie mit allen 9 Streichquartetten von dem noch jungen, aber preisgekrönten Nightingale String Quartet eingespielt, deren äußerst dramatische Interpretation auf der revidierten Fassung der Rued Langgaard Edition basiert.
Product Information
Rued Langgaard did not write his string quartet works for particular ensembles - with the exception of no. 3, which was composed for one of the best chamber ensembles in Denmark in the 1920s, the Breuning-Bache Quartet. String Quartet no. 3 is also the only one of the ten works that was published during the composer's lifetime, in 1931. The others have only been published after 1993, the last six as late as the present recording project and under the auspices of the Rued Langgaard Edition. Three of the works on the list were not performed in Langgaard's time, and all in all there were only ten concert performances of these works in his lifetime. Quartet no. 3 was performed four times, the last time by the Gerhard Rafn Quartet during the festival Nordic Music Days in Oslo in 1934. In addition, in the 1930s and 1940s there were sporadic radio performances of nos. 2, 3 and 5. After this, interest in Langgaard's string quartets ebbed out. In 1972 the first recording of one of the quartets, no. 3, was released featuring the Copenhagen String Quartet, and a -milestone was reached in 1984, when the Kontra Quartet recorded six of the works and made Langgaard's string quartets known in innumerable performances in Denmark and abroad.
The remarkable thing about Langgaard's music for string quartet is the wide stylistic spectrum covered by the works as a whole. They were written in the time of new -departures between Late Romanticism and Modernism, and it is in fact a typical feature of the period that in his musical idiom Langgaard veers off now in the 'retro' direction, now in the avant-garde direction, but without abandoning the classical formal norms. In Langgaard's quartets we thus find Classicist, Romantic, Neoclassical, Expres-sionist and Modernist features - in short, the tonal idioms of the music span the whole scale from Mozart to Bartók. The Neoclassical tendency, which has no counterpart in Langgaard's symphonies, makes its impact in the movement Mozart (of Rosengaards-spil), and colours the string quartet in A flat major throughout; the latter is almost a pastiche of Vienna Classicism. At the other extreme we find String Quartet no. 3, which with its aggressively Expressionist tonal idiom represents the wildest avant-garde in Danish music in 1924. One characteristic feature of the quartets, unlike Langgaard's symphonic music, is that among the total of 29 movements we find both decided (and humorous) scherzo movements and some of the weightiest slow movements Langgaard wrote.
Several of the works have a quite special inspiration. In 1913 the 20-year-old Langgaard was on holiday in Sweden, in the small spa town of Kyrkhult in Blekinge, where he lodged (with his parents) in a property called "Rosengården" (the Rose Garden). His stay there was to assume a lifelong significance for Langgaard, first and foremost, we are led to believe, because he had fallen in love with a girl called Dora (her identity otherwise is unknown to this day). At Rosengården Langgaard wrote some love songs to texts by -Goethe, and five years later these songs and mood evocations from that summer formed the inspirational basis for a whole three string quartets. At first all three of these works were given the title Rosengaardsspil (Rosengaard Play), but later their titles were changed (one quartet, however, has been published in its original form under the title Rosengaardsspil, while the same piece in a reworked form is called String Quartet no. 4; the other two are String Quartet in A flat major and String Quartet no. 6). Quartet no. 1 is also related to Rosengården and at one point was called Rosen-gaards-spil. The scherzo movement is based on the Goethe song Gleich und gleich, which is about the little bird and the little bee! Motifs from this song recur in Rosengaardsspil (1st movement) and String Quartet no. 4 (1st and 2nd movements). Another leitmotif with references to Rosengården appears at the beginning of the final movement of String Quartet no. 1 and reappears in both Rosengaardsspil and String Quartet no. 4. Five of the quartets are thus part of a complex of works with the summer of 1913 as a shared source of inspiration. And clearly it is no coincidence that String Quartet no. 6 quotes the Swedish folk song "Och hör du unga Dora vill du gifta dig i år" (Oh tell me now, young Dora, would you married be this year?)
String Quartet no. 2
The work was written in January-February 1918 and was given its first perfor-mance in a concert arranged by Langgaard himself at the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen in 1919. The boldness and aggression of the musical idiom did not go down well with the music critics, but the work must have made an impression in the progressive music milieu, for the quartet was performed again in 1922 at the Young Composers' Society, which promoted interest in contemporary music. In 1931 Langgaard revised the work, but only to a modest extent, and in this form it was performed on the radio in 1938 by the Gerhard Rafn Quartet. The original title was Composition for Four String Instru-ments, signalling the work's straightforward, 'modern' attitude. The first movement alternates between 'fiery' passages (allegro focoso), and passages of a contemplative character. The ending is dominated by the dissonant tritonus interval E flat - A, which also concludes the work as a whole. The second movement is 'futuristic machine music', with a train passing at full steam on screeching rails. This 'realistic' depiction of a locomotive was composed five years before Honegger's famous orchestral work Pacific 231. The third movement was originally entitled Landscape with a Fiddler, like the title of a painting. The music pans over a landscape, and along the way we pass a fiddler who plays a fiero alla zingaresa solo, after which the landscape again comes into focus. The final movement has a composite character, but is welded together by a repeated, energetic alla marcia risoluto section. The title Vandring (The Walk) should perhaps be understood quite literally as a 'walking tour' where the 'march' is interrupted by varying views characterized for example by romantic and mysterious sounds.
String Quartet no. 3
In 1924 the Copenhagen-based Breuning-Bache Quartet planned a concert of music by young Danish composers, and in this connection approached Langgaard to ask if he had a suitable work 'in storage'. The approach inspired him to supply a brand new quartet, which was composed and fair-copied within a single week and given its first perfor-mance the same month (September 1924). Once more the music critics were entirely uncomprehending, but among Langgaard's colleagues a certain interest could be detec-ted, and this led to the printing of the quartet in 1931. Richard Hove's review of the publication in Dansk Musik Tidsskrift was to be one of the most positive mentions ever accorded a work by Langgaard. Hove speaks of "the divine spark", of "eruptions of a magical temperament" and of the work's "great internal power". The work demon-strates the most wildly experimental musical language to be found in Danish music before Carl Nielsen's Sixth Symphony (1925). Like Nielsen (in the Sixth) Langgaard ironizes over modern music, but at the same time furnishes a solid defence of it. Lang-gaard's characterizations, for example rapinoso (rapacious), artifizioso (artful) and schernevole (scoffing), suggest his attitude to the dissonant and aggressive in the idiom. The contrast to this is the chorale that begins the last movement, and which attempts to make itself felt in the middle of the movement amidst the maelstrom of modern music - and in the end carries off the victory. The melody was written for B. S. Ingemann's hymn "Den store mester kommer" (The Great Master Comes), and a few years ago it was added as a four-part piece to the official chorale book of the Danish national church.
String Quartet no. 6
This one-movement quartet was composed in three days around New Year 1918 / 19 and given its first performance less than two months later in a concert arranged by Lang-gaard himself at the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen. In the programme the work is called Rosengaardsspil (over en svensk Folkevise) "Rosengaard Play (on a Swedish folk song)", and the composition is clearly inspired by the summer stay at Rosengården in Sweden in 1913. It has the sound of a piece of programme music, depicting in a free form episodes and moods experienced by the composer. Idyllic and melancholy passages alternate with scherzo-like elements in the first part of the movement, in which two recitative-like solo sections, first in the viola and later in the violin, quote a Swedish folk song of unrequited love, "Allt under himmelens fäste" (Beneath the vault of heaven). An expressive passage leads into a festive waltz in Swedish folk-fiddler style (burlesco rustico), and this is followed by the concluding part of the work, which is based on the Swedish folk song "Och hör du unga Dora vill du gifta dig i år" (Oh tell me now, young Dora, will you married be this year?), this too a song of unrequited love. After the first performance the work was laid aside by Langgaard, but he looked it out again in the 1940s and furnished it with the title String Quartet No. 6 in One Movement (the numbers 1-5 were already taken). The second performance took place on Danish radio in 1980.
Variations on "Mig hjertelig nu længes"
The composition bears the subtitle Chamber music for 2 violins, 1 viola and 1 cello. The melody, best known in English as "O sacred Head! Now wounded" was composed by Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612), but is used in a later traditional chorale form. The quartet was composed in July 1914, but only fair-copied in the summer of 1915. It was put on the shelf, but resuscitated by Langgaard in 1940. The original intro-duction, which had evidently been lost, was now replaced by a new introduction in the form of a reworking of an organ prelude to "Mig hjertelig nu længes" which Langgaard had written for a funeral in 1931. The hymn tune is only heard in its entirety in Variation I (in the cello part), but the ending reappears in Variation VII (in the first violin part). The variations are one of the composer's most purely classicist works, with reminis-cen-ces of Beethoven's late quartets. The composition was given its first performance in 1967.

AFI International Closes, Awards from "Fire-Eater" to
"Free Enterprise"
by Rebecca Sonnenshine
The 12th annual AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival came to a
close on Friday evening with an awards ceremony at the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art. Prizes were handed out by representatives of the
four guilds -- SAG, WGA, DGA, and the Producer's Guild -- as
well as participating sponsors.
After everyone had their awards and a good part of the audience left in
search of more exciting things to do on the Friday before Halloween, the
remaining audience was treated to a screening of Pat O'Connor's "Dancing
at Lughnasa," starring Meryl Streep. Though the film has received mixed
reviews, it is a beautifully realized, if deliberately paced, adaptation
of Brian Friel's award-winning play. Following the screening, guests
sauntered over to the museum courtyard for some late-night snacks and a
little jazz. And that about wrapped up the festival, though a few stray
screenings spilled over into Saturday.
As always, the AFI Film Festival is a mixed bag, bringing to Los Angeles
an impressive slate of foreign films and U.S. independents -- some good,
some bad -- that might otherwise never see the light of day. Jon
Fitzgerald, the intrepid AFI Film Festival programmer, announced that
attendance had increased by over 90% this year. Of course, the majority
of the industry attendees show up at the opening night festivities and
again at closing ceremonies, leaving the actual viewing of films to
movie buffs, filmmakers, and adventurous ordinary citizens (all of which
there are plenty in Los Angeles).
Though the Mann's Chinese Theater venue which housed screenings is a
sign of unflagging optimism regarding efforts to revitalize Hollywood
Boulevard, most of attendees would be glad to do without the parking
hassles, the mobs of tourists, and the generally seediness that is still
the defining characteristic of that part of town. Despite all this, the
festival continues to strive towards excellence, and the event came off, all
in all, as a solid success.
In the Official Competition, eleven films from around the world vied for
the prestigious Grand Jury Prize. This year, the award went to a
stunning piece of cinema from Finland, "Fire-Eater," directed by Pirjo
Honkasalo. The film centers on the relationship between two twin girls,
abandoned by their mother and raised by their grandmother. When the
grandmother dies, however, the mother returns for the girls and drags
the reluctant girls into a life with the circus. Featuring exquisite
performances from the entire cast, breathtaking photography, and a
tremendously moving narrative, the film is nothing short of a
heartbreaking masterpiece. Unfortunately, the film was seen by a very
small audience: the first screening was canceled when the print didn't
arrive on time, and the second screening lost half its audience when the
subtitles dropped out in the second reel. Hopefully, winning the Grand
Jury Prize will give distributors a heads-up.
Another notable entry in the Official Competition was Sweden's "The Last
Contract," directed by Kjell Sundvall. A taut, well-acted political
thriller, the film explores a fictional account of the 1986
assassination of Prime Minister Olaf Palme. Crisp direction and
photography, combined with a host of incredible locations and some
terrific action sequences, create a suspenseful narrative in the vein of
U.S. films like "Day of the Jackal" or "All the President's Men." With
such high production values and half its dialogue in English, the film
seems a natural to find at least limited distribution in the U.S.
Also entertaining was France's entry, "The Swindle," by noted director
Claude Chabrol. Starring some of France's biggest talents, including
the always remarkable Isabelle Huppert, the film is a handsome, romantic
caper that tells the story of two mismatched con artists who find
themselves in over their heads when they go for "the big one."
Effervescent, charming, and beautifully produced, the film was a treat
to watch among the more "serious" entries.
An interesting, but not entirely successful film was China's "Mr. Zhao,"
directed by Lu Yue. Designed as a companion piece to Zhang Ymou's "Keep
Cool," which screened at the AFI festival last year, the film is
essentially a three-character drama exploring the disintegrating
relationships between a woman, her husband, and his mistress. With a
completely improvised script, the film succeeds with some of the intense
interactions between the characters, but can't quite sustain a cohesive
narrative as it wears on.
Other Official Competition films worth mentioning: The Czech Republic's
"Sekal Has To Die," directed by Vladimir Michatek, a compelling,
well-produced period piece that tells the tale of a small town who wants
to eliminate its most heinous, corrupt, Nazi-informing citizen and
Ireland's "Sweety Barrett," by Stephen Bradley, an affecting small film
that has been dubbed an Irish "Sling Blade."
In the European Film Showcase, The Netherlands' "The Polish Bride,"
directed by Karim Traidia, was awarded the European Film Prize. The
piece is one of four Dutch films in a series that studies the end of the
millennium in Holland and tells the tale of a well-meaning farmer that
takes in an abused prostitute. Another excellent film in the section
was Goran Rebic's "Jugofilm," which explores the effects of the Bosnian
war on an immigrant family in Austria. One of the gems of the festival,
it is a delicate, well-acted film that effectively portrays the manner
in which war systematically tears apart the social fabric of a
The World Cinema section was a non-competitive arena to showcase films,
many of which already have distribution or have found previous success
at other festivals. Erick Zonca's "The Dreamlife of Angels," picked up
by Sony Classics in Cannes, is just as good as the hype says it is.
Despite its otherworldly title, the film is a modern, mesmerizing
character study propelled by outstanding performances from Elodie
Bouchez and Natacha Regnier. "Amy," by Australian director Nadia Tass,
was a charming, quirky film that elicited an enthusiastic audience
response. Starring the incomparable Rachel Griffiths, the story of a
mother and daughter trying to overcome paralyzing grief is both
heartbreaking and uplifting. It's also a terrific crowd-pleaser that
should have distributors pricking up their ears.
The majority of the awards handed out on Friday were for films in the
domestic New Directions category, (a program in serious need of some
stronger films) and which seems a bit ironic for an "international" film
festival, but it certainly made for an exciting evening (for the
filmmakers, anyway). The Best New Screenwriter Award went to Mark A.
Altman and Robert Meyer Burnett for "Free Enterprise," and Sean Travis
picked up the Best New Director Award for "The Week That Girl Died." The
Best Editing Prize was awarded to Sabine Brose for her work on "The
Little Girl Who Fell From A Tree," a thriller directed by AFI grad
Michael Bartlett. The Best Actress prize went to Dahlia Mindlin for her
role in "Last Days of May," and the Best Actor prize went to Patrick
Fischler for his role in "The Week That Girl Died."
The Studio Prize, awarded to the best feature film in the New Directions
section, went to "Free Enterprise," directed by Robert Meyer Burnett.
Since it also won the screenwriting award, "Free Enterprise," was
considered the big winner for the evening. The film is a charming, very
well-written comedy that starts to falter as it drags into the third
act. The writers have a remarkable ear for dialogue and a talent for
creating a sweetly nostalgic setting for their characters to trade barbs
in. It's unfortunate that co-writer/director Robert Meyer Burnett
couldn't apply some of that lightness of touch to the directing: the
film is so studied and glossy and dark that it buries a great deal of
the sparkling wit that should make it so endearing.

Are You Swarming Upstream?
May 4, 2009 by
+Marj Wyatt
Filed under Life as an Internet Entrepreneur
As a person involved with internet marketing, I hear about new programs every day of the week. Always, there is the first wave of notification via Skype broadcasting tools for immediate attention. Next are the emails from affiliate marketers or internet marketers whose lists I have opted into. I've mentioned before that my initial reaction to these sorts of offers is to Google the opportunity name and see what is out there to read, as well as analyze how many people have jumped on it already. I have no statistical analysis to offer but it is crystal clear that there is a huge group of people involved by the time any information reaches my inbox.
Recently, a colleague of mine explained a mindset of success that included being part of the group who created the hype surrounding new business launches and moving forward quickly, from new business opportunity to new business opportunity as part of an entourage as a means of creating wealth. The first metaphor that came to mind was killer bees. Then I started wondering: How Many People are Swarming Upstream?
I'd like to explain the entire thought process of my associate. By their explanation, the people who made the most money in any business opportunity were those who got in early, attracted the first round of initiates and moved on quickly to the next launch to promote it. I knew folks who joined a program early made the most money but it had not occurred to me that they moved in swarms. I confess to having a visceral reaction. Following it through, I could only imagine a lifestyle of promotion mania and capitalistic avarice.
I'm a retired hippy, for goodness sakes! My generation shunned materialism! 🙂
I acknowledge that the success or failure of any business venture rests with the person who decides to join it. However, I firmly believe that those who are swarming and hyping the business venture must assume some responsibility for its ultimate longevity and success. If the founders are swarming forward to the next thing as soon as they've made their millions, are they creating wealth or havoc?
Sadly, the mindless pursuit of money and distance from the masses who join these programs seem to make some top guns calloused. Like a salmon swimming upstream, a new marketer who is caught up in the hype can become nothing more than a tasty snack for the bear that waits upstream.

MF Global Brokerage Disputes to 'Heat Up,' Lawyer Says
MF Global Holdings Ltd.'s disputes with its brokerage unit will "heat up" in coming months as arguments over $2.3 billion in claims proceed, lawyer Brett Miller told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn in Manhattan court today.
Separately, the brokerage unit announced in a statement today that under an agreement with CME Group, the brokerage's exchange, another $130 million will be recovered for customers.
Miller, updating Glenn on progress since a June 4 report from MF Global Holdings' trustee Louis Freeh, said disputed amounts with the brokerage include $556 million in securities claims, $90 million in futures claims, and another $1.6 billion related to funding amounts. The trustee will soon file objections that will "set the stage" for arguments over the amounts, Miller said.
"We have had cooperation in responding to some of our requests, for others we have not," Miller told Glenn.
Freeh has been unwinding the parent company under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code in an effort to repay creditors. A separate trustee, James Giddens, is overseeing the brokerage unit, MF Global Inc., which is liquidating under the Securities Investor Protection Act to repay customers. Both trustees issued reports June 4 on a their own probes into how the company failed and have been at odds over whether certain sums belong to creditors or customers.
'Some Glitches'
Freeh's June 4 report said the parent company may have more than $3 billion of claims against its affiliates and units.
Miller also told Glenn today that proceedings in the U.K. over a disputed $700 million in funds are proceeding. Glenn said he will "engage in court-to-court communication" with U.K. courts to facilitate an end to the dispute. A trial in 2013 over the dispute may be expected, Glenn said.
"As far as cooperation there have been some glitches," James Kobak, a lawyer for Giddens said in court today. "There are differences between the estates."
Kobak said Giddens has a "respectful relationship" with Freeh. Kobak said that the brokerage continues to have dialogue with the U.K. unit and wants to clear up that issue as soon as possible to return funds to customers.
According to Giddens' statement today, the deal with CME Group covers $175 million of MF Global Inc.'s property which CME Group has had possession of. Of that, $16.5 isn't related to customer claims and will be returned directly, Giddens said.
'Outstanding Conflicts'
"This agreement supports my goal to expeditiously resolve outstanding conflicts with parties as we work to recover and distribute as much customer property as possible," Giddens said in the statement.
In prior progress reports, Freeh and Giddens have disputed whether certain assets belong to customers or creditors. Customers were estimated to be out $1.6 billion as of Giddens's last report. Distributions by Giddens are predicted to return about 80 percent of what U.S. customers are owed.
MF Global Holdings, run by former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Co-Chairman Jon Corzine until his Nov. 4 resignation, filed the eighth-largest U.S. bankruptcy after a $6.3 billion trade on its own behalf on bonds of some of Europe's most indebted nations led to margin calls. Its bankruptcy filing listed assets of $41 billion and debt of $39.7 billion.
Giddens said in his June 4 report that Corzine may face claims for breach of fiduciary duty and negligence for his role in the company's downfall.
The brokerage case is Securities Investor Protection Corp. v. MF Global Inc., 11-02790, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). The parent's bankruptcy case is MF Global Holdings Ltd., 11-bk-15059, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Exponent is pleased to feature the newest addition of the Environmental Forensics Notes, with the feature article: "Tracking Sources of Mercury Contamination Using Stable Isotopes."
Many elements occur in nature as mixtures of stable isotopes. For example, carbon 12 (12C) isotope is the most common form of carbon (99 percent of all carbon) and has 6 neutrons in the carbon atom. The 13C isotope (1 percent of all carbon) has one extra neutron (7) and is therefore "heavier" than 12C. Stable isotope techniques (for example, determination of the ratio of 13C/12C) have been applied to examining ecological relationships such as food webs, tracing and tracking the degradation of organic contaminants, and detecting organic contaminants as they degrade, as well as to identification of the sources of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds such as trichlorethylene (TCE).

March 20, 2013
BERKELEY - CalBears.com sat down with sophomore swimmer Melanie Klaren prior to the Cal team's trip to the NCAA Championships to discuss a variety of topics, including the Pac-12 Championships, what warm-up music she listens to and what she wants to do after graduating from Cal. The Golden Bears compete at the NCAA Championships starting on Thursday in Indianapolis; the national meet ends on Saturday.
At last year's NCAA Championships, the Laguna Niguel, Calif., product earned honorable mention All-America honors with a 12th-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke and a 10th-place finish in the 200 backstroke, as she and the Golden Bears won the 2012 national title. More recently, Klaren placed fourth in the 200 back, took fifth in the 100 back, finished ninth in the 500 freestyle and swam on Cal's second-place 800-freestyle relay at 2013 Pac-12s.
CalBears.com: How has the season gone so far, heading into NCAAs?
Melanie Klaren: Personally I've been very happy with my season. I think I've had a good progression - not just with times, but I've been getting better at little techniques, and there's still a lot of improvements I've been working on heading into NCs. Up until recently, it's pretty much gone the way I'd hoped it would. I'm looking forward to swimming even faster at NCs.
CalBears.com: Are people overlooking Cal - the two-time defending NCAA champion - as one of the favorites in Indianapolis, perhaps because of our finish at the Pac-12 Championships or our two dual-meet losses?
MK: I don't know that we're really being overlooked. But, I think in a way, we almost would like being overlooked a little bit, and it would put a fire under us to show people that we are here and we are the two-time defending national champions. We don't even really talk about winning at NCs. It's just about being our best. If it happens to be that we're the best team that weekend, then we'll be happy with that.
CalBears.com: You're qualified to swim in the 500 free and 100 and 200 backstrokes in Indianapolis. What relays might you swim?
MK: I was on the 800-free relay at Pac-12s, but we'll see if I'll swim that at NCs.
CalBears.com: What's your favorite event?
MK: The 200 back is probably my favorite event. It's on the last day, and the last morning is always pretty tough. It's not for the faint of heart.
CalBears.com: Is the nickname "Backstroke U." an accurate one for Cal, with the number of talented backstrokers - including Cindy Tran, Rachel Bootsma, Elizabeth Pelton, Stephanie Au and you - on the roster?
MK: You can't have four people in the top 10 of the 100 backstroke heading into NCs and not say that we're a backstroke team. I'm not sure if Stephanie Au or I were recruited as backstrokers, but something special happens here. Our backstroke group is pretty tight.
CalBears.com: It was standing-room only for the Big Meet against Stanford on Feb. 16 at Spieker Aquatics Complex. Cal of course won the meet, which was televised on the Pac-12 Networks. How much does a big crowd like that boost the team?
MK: I don't think I've ever seen a dual meet as crowded or as high energy as it was here. It just pumped us up even more to swim faster. The crowd, having the men's team here and the alums - that was all just huge.
CalBears.com: We finished in third place overall at Pac-12s, but was it encouraging that we won seven events?
MK: We kept Pac-12s in perspective. It wasn't about winning the meet. Everybody swam amazing and everybody progressed. It was just a good meet for us. At the end of the day we couldn't really be upset that we got third, because everyone just had such a great meet and it was a great time for the team. Winning the events and just everyone stepping up in different ways was really cool to see. Overall we were extremely happy with how we did at Pac-12s.
CalBears.com: What kind of warm-up music do you listen to before meets?
MK: I listen to a lot of remixes. Melissa Bates on the team shows me some really good mixes that she seems to find. It's usually pretty up-tempo; anything with dubstep in it just to get me going. It usually changes depending on the meet, but I'm really into Ellie Goulding or Waka Flocka Flame.
CalBears.com: What's your favorite movie?
MK: "Pride and Prejudice."
CalBears.com: What's your favorite TV show?
MK: I'm really into "New Girl" and "How I Met Your Mother."
CalBears.com: How does Berkeley compare to your hometown of Laguna Niguel?
MK: I was born in northern California and spent the first half of my life here. But I consider myself from southern California. It's just a different way of life. People drive faster in southern California; it's very quick moving. I love the City; it reminds me a lot of home almost. It's just different. It's kind of laid-back, to me at least, coming from Orange County. It's very different from any other place that I've been.
CalBears.com: What's your major, and what do you want to do after you graduate from Cal?
MK: I'm a history major. I think I'm going to do an emphasis in 19th-century Britain. But after I'm done here, I want to go to grad school and be a book editor. That's something I'm looking into. When I'm done swimming maybe I'll intern at publishing companies.
CalBears.com: Why does that field interest you?
MK: I really just enjoy reading, and nothing bothers me more than when I see a typo in a book. I just thought that would really be cool to do - to have my job be reading, which some people don't get. But I think it's cool.
CalBears.com: Has Cal - from academics to athletics and everything in between - been everything you expected it to be?
MK: It's been more than what I expected. We all come in with an idea of what Cal is and what the culture of the team is. But not until you get here do you really get what it's about and what the high level of excellence that we hold each other to is. I've grown so much as a person from my freshman year to now, in terms of being responsible and being accountable. Not even swimming-wise; I'm most proud of who I've become in the past almost two years here at Cal.

Beijing Beavers
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Don't worry this isn't a boring National Geographic site about the rare damn-building animals of Asia. Beijing Beavers focuses on hot Asian honeys instead. The site is easy to navigate from a menu bar along the right-hand side of the page. Just click on images and/or videos and that's what you get. The picture section of the site contains about 40 different photo sites. Not bad quantity wise for galleries, but only one is Asian related.
You'll find the Asian action is also limited in the video section. There you'll find an MPEG section, a recorded section and a live chat area. The MPEG area contains pages and pages of video clips that you can download, from masturbation to straight hardcore fucking. The movies are split into two-minute long clips, and available in mediocre quality Windows Media format (320x240, 102kbps). The recorded area contains three streaming Asian video sites and over 100 bonus feeds in many various categories.
Overall, the site just isn't that impressive. The pictures are decent enough but the amount of Oriental content in them isn't adequate and the same can be said for the barely average videos.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Today's SEO researcher enjoys the choice between numerous keyword generation tools, each of which offers their own relative strengths and weaknesses.
Take, for example, both Yahoo's Overture Keyword Selector Tool and the Keyword Discovery Tool. I use these two interchangeably, often because what I expect to be fairly common search terms bring up no data in one or the other database. I'm hesitant to trust either tool completely, mostly because of some strange inconsistencies as well as the skewed nature of the data. Not to mention the irritating way both are prone to crashing, and require frequently reloading the page.
Beginning with the Yahoo tool—recently, in researching phrases related to event-planning, I observed some questionable numbers. In the results for variations of the query 'event facility', what appeared to be almost identical phrases showed up, but with one slight variation. 'Michigan event facility' consistently brought up data shown for the phrase 'catering corporate event facility michigan' with 55 searches, while 'detroit event facility' brought up the suspiciously similar 'catering corporate detroit event facility', also with 55 searches. Coincidence, or is the database using some sort of synonym mapping to equate 'michigan' and 'detroit'? One of the seemingly quirkiest aspects of the tool is the way both it as well as the Keyword Discovery tool frequently supply relatively large search estimates for long, obscure queries. At first glance, it seems hard to believe; so many people are taking the time to enter every single word of long titles and names? Chalk it up to automated queries, more prevalent in the Yahoo network data than in others. Another is the fact that the Yahoo tool presents a single month's data, making it difficult to gauge trends.
Google's alternative, the Keyword Tool, offers at least one way around this limitation with its Search Volume Trends option. Unfortunately, the improved ability to gauge trends comes at the cost of a loss of valuable numerical data, raising the question of which is more ultimately more useful in keyword consideration. Is it possible to form an accurate picture of larger trends without the hard-and-fast numbers as support?
Is a single tool that supplies both numbers as well as representing overall trends so much to ask? Will the new keyword tool to be released by Yahoo later this year address this need?by

Ok, so who rides ramps? At a park, or did you/friends build it yourself? What tricks can you do? And let's see some photos, if you've got them.
Ok, so who rides ramps? At a park, or did you/friends build it yourself? What tricks can you do? And let's see some photos, if you've got them.
i ride some park ramps, but im not that wonderful. i can x-up, barspin, no-footer, seatgrab,no-hander, crankflip, 180 , almost 360(i hate spinning), tail tap, half-ass fufanu, abubaca, tabletop, and footplant. thats about it. i prolly wont get any photos cause i dont have a camera, but if i do get some i'll make sure to post them.
I ride park/street. These are the garage ramps I use when its snowing outside. I have a new 6ftHx4ftW quarter in the mix, ill take a pic while im out in the garage riding tonight.
thats pretty sick...how tall is it from the ground to the ceiling?
I'm going to estimate eight feet to the chain for the garage door, using the frame on the wall as a reference.
woah, thats a sick garage mini ramp...all i have is tile floring and heat in my garage...
Matt Berringer has the best garage setup though...
As for me, my trails are covered in snow now...
mine are too. i shovel them though, so its all good.
The trails I ride are a mile or 2 from my house down three big hills and up 2medium hills. And in a forest where I can't bring a shovel. Plus i can't drive to them.
psshhh i rode almost 2 miles to my trails with 2 shovels a backpack and weed killer...
my trails are in my back yard
two sets of trails...the one kinetiks tlaking about and the one thats
the two miles to first one and over teh river through the woods over the river again crossing a highway and through some more woods and rivers....probably about a good 9 miles
about a 45 minute to an hour bike ride
finally took a picture of the new 1/4 I added.

Frank Ocean Forced To Cancel Tour Dates After Tearing Vocal Cords
By Jessica Rawden 3 years ago
On Friday, Frank Ocean was forced to cancel a mini tour in Australia following a show in Melbourne on Thursday night, during which the singer had trouble hitting high notes and came off as rather grumpy. Normally when a music artist cancels tour dates in places that are not the United States, the news story isnt a huge deal here in The States. However, the cancellation is due to a tear in his vocal cords, that could potentially affect his touring schedule and performance capabilities moving forward.
Ocean is a prolific performer, which is how a gig at the Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay, Australia turned into several days of gigs across the country. Unfortunately, Thursdays Melbourne gig didnt go so well, with the LA Times reporting the singer had to power through a rendition of Forrest Gump before telling the audience Im sick I dont know if you care."
Since Ocean has now had to cancel some tour dates, Im sure there are plenty of people who care. On Friday, promoter Live Nation confirmed the Australia cancellations, also noting that the 25-year-old singer underwent medical help after last nights show and was found to have a tear in his vocal cords. This means the artist will be unable to complete his Australian tour dates.
It has subsequently been confirmed that Frank has suffered a small tear to one of his vocal cords and has received medical advice that he must rest his voice.
In the statement, the company also notes that ticket money will be refunded to purchasers. Additionally, once Oceans vocal cords mend, the promoters hope to get him back to Australia as soon as possible, although that wont help those attending the Splendour in the Grass Festival.
Although Lady Gaga was famously out with a hip injury this year, usually the biggest injury a singer may have to face involves vocal cord issues in the form of tears and nodules. Having vocal problems isnt something to mess with and sometimes even requires surgery, as John Mayer found out over the last several years. As you can see in the video from last nights show, the singer is having trouble hitting some of the high notes and his vocal issues dont seem to be a laughing matter.
The only thing we can hope for is that the injury wont keep Ocean from the stage or the recording studio for an extended period of time.

This Friday, a film featuring a motley collection of characters of dubious motivation, centered around a costumed hero on a mission, will roll into theaters. That's, right, we're talking about John Michael McDonagh's "Calvary" the complex, biting, pitch black follow-up to the director's more comedic debut "The Guard." The film stars regular collaborator Brendan Gleeson, this time in a cassock as a Roman Catholic priest, the one good man in a rotten rural parish, going about his week as a countdown to the Sunday on which he's been told one of his parishioners will kill him. And it's an ambitious, multilayered movie that impressed us hugely in Sundance, and that provided us with a great deal to talk about when we met the director at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
McDonagh is garrulous and forthcoming in person (and speaks in a London accent quite unlike the West of Ireland brogue we'd subconsciously expected) and we shared a few tidbits of news about his upcoming project "War on Everyone" already. But now with the Friday release of his provocative, challenging film, here's the rest of that interview, mostly about "Calvary," but also going into plot details for his next film with Gleeson, and outlining the idea for the "De Palma action movie" that he already thinks is so ambitious it might be his last.
"Calvary" is a very unusual mix of dark and light. Tell me how you feel it's being received.
Well, a lot of people say that I erred to far on one side or the other there, and they didn't like it. It's a bit too much comedy for such a dark subject or it's too dark for something they were hoping was going to be more comedic.
Is some of that due to the false expectations set up by "The Guard"?
Oh yes, definitely. I mean, in Ireland the film was successful but audiences didn't walk out with a spring in their step, and I think there was probably bad word of mouth because people were expecting "The Guard 2." And when they didn't get it, they were just like "oh this is a terrible film." But I wasn't trying to make that movie.
I confess I probably did have those expectations going in, only because I loved "The Guard" so much. I chose it for my "underrated" film of 2012, though I know it did very well in Ireland.
Yes, that's funny, we were quite happy with the money it made in America, but in the great scheme of things $6m isn't a lot, I suppose!
I'm surprised by your English accent, because I particularly love how you write dialogue, and capture a very Irish facility with language—so profane yet so erudite...
Yes, I always have erudite characters, I would rarely create a character who is unintelligent or has nothing to say. And they're all heightened characters—"Calvary" is not a naturalistic movie, these aren't people you're gonna meet in a small town in Sligo. Well, you might meet one or two, like the character that Killian Scott plays, Milo, who wears the bow ties—he seems one of the weirdest, but that was based on a person I met.
But it's interesting that you mention my accent, because that's why I cast Kelly Reilly as Brendan's daughter. She's got an English accent and it's only referred to very briefly, as in she grew up in London or something, because that is the Irish experience. Kids have grown up in London or America. And people are leaving again now, so that was quite important to me to get across. And also I wanted to get across a slight detachment between them both, so her accent is different to his and that implies something there, just already in the way they speak.
A lot's been written about the film's black comedy, but personally I found it a hugely angry film, a furious movie, actually...
Oh it is, it is. I think one of my failings is often in Q&As or interviews I try to keep things light, to make jokes, but it is a very, very angry movie, very anti-authoritarian movie. I mean, I see myself as an anarchist really, I despise authority.
But, then, I was surprised people didn't take "The Guard" as being as angry as it was. There's the line "You being an FBI man, you're probably more used to shooting unarmed women and children"—to me that's an obvious, angry line. And "he hasn't had this much fun since he burned all those kids at Waco"—that's a funny line but it's very angry. Yet only a few people seemed to get that. But I'm planning that the third one will be almost attack on society, see how far you can go.
That's the thing with comedy, people laugh and it's only later they go "hang on…did he mean that?" But then you don't want to audience to be sat there being given a political talking-to, I want an entertainment, and "The Guard" is more obviously an entertainment.
But "Calvary," it's like listening to a Nick Cave song, or Tom Waits, I find those songs really moving: they may be about depressing subjects but I'm still being entertained if I'm engrossed and absorbed. To me that's as much an entertainment as a Disney movie.
Of course, a great song, even a sad or angry one, can be uplifting in that it can make you feel like you're not alone.
Exactly. Brendan once said "Great art should be about making you feel less alone" and this is entirely the way I feel about things. I was a big fan of The Smiths and that whole subculture. There was all these depressed young men and women who weren't having sex and they all came together...
And had sex…
And had sex, yes, and suddenly felt, yeah, I'm not alone. I'm not alone.

Feb 14, 2004
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Sophomore Ian Crosswhite scored a career-high 23 points to lead Oregon to a wild 67-62 overtime victory at Washington State on Saturday.
Oregon (12-7, 7-5 Pac-10) blew an 18-point second-half lead but hit 7 of 8 free throws in the final minute of overtime to beat Washington State for the seventh straight time.
The Cougars scored the first point of overtime to take their first lead (54-53) since leading 10-9 after 12 minutes.
Marcus Moore, Thomas Kelati and Randy Green scored 12 points each to lead Washington State (11-12, 5-8 Pac-10).
The Cougars trailed 9-2 before scoring their first field goal after 7 1/2 minutes.
Crosswhite, dominating inside, scored seven of his 14 first-half points during a 15-0 Oregon run that snapped a 12-12 tie.
The Cougars shot 17 percent (4-for-24) in the first half and fell behind 31-14, then gave up the first point of the second half before hitting four straight baskets, including three 3-pointers, to narrow Oregon's lead to 32-25 barely three minutes into the second half.
Oregon's Luke Jackson made just 3 of 8 field-goal attempts, but went 10-for-10 at the free-throw line and scored 16 points. Andre Joseph added 13 points.
The Ducks, one of the busiest and best 3-point shooting teams in the country, made only three 3-pointers of 15, a low for the season.
Moore, the Cougars' season scoring leader with 13.3 points per game, did not score in the first half.

text: I LOVED the efficiency of Dawn's multiple race report so I will roll my season into one report! It will be long! After 4 years of doing 2 sprints a summer, I sucked it up and did Columbia in May. My husband had signed up for this as his first tri ever so I had absolutely no excuse. For the record, this was not a romantic, couples kind of thing going on...I was constantly sneaking peaks at his bike computer and checking up on his training to see where he was at! Despite my 30 minute headstart, he passed me around mile 2 on the run and beat my overall time by about 50 minutes. This will be my motivation for next year as we are both signed up again and want to move up in the married couples division!Columbia swim: 43:29 the most gentle swim EVER, as I was in with the 45+ gals and 50+ guys. I'm talking, not a single physical contact with another swimmer! Of course, that might be because my strategy of swimming the shore line caused me to swim way off course and I found myself swimming further than I should have. I had feared the length of this swim and convinced myself it was just a workout which showed in my time as this is my normal time to swim a mile in the pool.Columbia bike/T1: 1:47:38 for those of you in later waves who had clear skies, there was frickin' HAIL on the bike ride (I was coming down Homewood) as well as constant rain. I had done this portion as a relay two years ago and wanted to beat that time but instead was about 10 minutes slower. I was trying to avoid killing myself and actually braked on most of the downhills. Bummer.Columbia run: 1:10:01 I had a FULL as in ready to explode bladder for most of the run and spent a lot of time looking at bushes going, "I could go back there" and watching the guys run in and out like it was no big deal! No way was I going to wait in line for a port-a-pot but I think next year I will just have to commune with nature! My time was what I had been doing in practice runs, with an empty bladder AND I had walked on two of the uphills so I was pleased with it.My only goals for this race were to get some times to beat for next year and not get beat too bad by the husband. So, I have my work cut out for me this winter!Vermont Sun Tri in early July is my "fun" race that I've done 5 times and was my first tri back in 2005. Last year I had my 13 yr old son do the swim portion as he is an awesome swimmer and was thinking about getting into tris! It was truly a blast to relay with my boy! Plus he was 2nd out of the water so there were actually other bikes in the transition area when I started! :) This year, he spiked a fever 2 days before the race. I hadn't swam (swum?) a lap since Columbia so, good mother that I am, I was working hard on convincing him to swim, with a fever! That didn't work so I resigned myself to do the swim but was ticked that I hadn't practiced as we were at the lake the entire week prior to the race (camping). Mind you, this is the EASIEST swim that you will ever do in the triathlon world as it is only 1/3 of a mile in a warm clear lake and you can see the bottom most of the way! But still, I was ecstatic to bump into Mark who was looking to do the swim but couldn't bike or run because of his knee. Didn't want to ruin his streak of doing this race for the last 20 years so I HAD to oblige! His swim time was 13:10. And he stuck around to cheer me on the bike and run! What a great team mate!Vermont Bike: 50:05 for a 14 mile, rolling hill course with one hill that is a steady uphill climb (think Greenbridge or Mt.Albert) for 0.7 miles-ugh! My same time as last year so, OK, I'll take it.Vermont Run: 33:09 for 3.1 miles. Expected better since I hadn't done the swim and felt good after the bike (and didn't have to pee like a racehorse!). I lost a little time posing for pictures with my sister...she was passing me a beer on the run out so had to capture that Kodak moment! Otherwise, I need to work on my run.Vermont Overall: 1:38:52 even though I was facing what ended up being a 12 hr ride home (with kids) I hung out to til the end of the award ceremony as my buddy and I thought we were going to win the Masters' relay. Seems we were the only ones registered for it! We were giddy with excitement at the prospect of a new beer glass but darn, some other team (with 3 members)either signed up that day or switched divisions. Oh well, I've never had a second place finish before!! This is a great race to do if you feel like heading to Vermont! They run a series of 4 each summer, 2 sprints, 1 Olympic and 1 half. Iron Girl: I've done all 4 Iron Girls so I knew I could finish it and figured I could beat my times since I had trained for Columbia. Right. Somewhere along the summer with vacations and fun with the kids I lost my groove with training. As in basically none, other than flat runs while the kids were in swim team. The week before the race I was vacationing at a lake and did get in some OWS and a run or two. However, I think the beers and vacation food negated all that so going into the race I knew I was facing the ultimate embarrassment of finishing slower than last year.IG Swim: 33:59 I had the best swim I have ever had in that I was able to sight mid-stroke (practiced that on vacation)instead of STOPPING and treading water or breast stroking like my previous swims. I didn't grab any buoys, which I used to do to catch my breath. And I actually got into "normal" swimming, breathing both sides instead of gasping on one side every stroke like most of my races. Imagine my surprise when I checked my time as I got out of the water! Not happy, hope it was a longer course because that swim could have made my day but instead it ticked me off!IG Bike: 1:07:59 same time as last year so I guess I should be happy since I didn't really train. Had numerous friends along the bike route cheering me on which was awesome! They of course didn't know there had been a delay in the start of the race so the times I gave them were way off and they were worrying for me. They also didn't realize the start order of the race so one of my friends was thinking, "Man. Lynne's going to be p*ssed all these old ladies are beating her!" Plenty of those "old" ladies did beat me but they are my heroines so it's all good (and I passed enough to make me feel OK).IG Run: 40:13 OMG what happened here? I got off the bike and felt that familiar pain of shin splints. I thought I'd walk a little to stretch them out and then noticed the 1 mile marker. I just walked a whole mile in a 3 mile run???? Not happy, but was still in so much pain that I plodded along and had to walk on the way back on Gatorade Hill. But I started running again when I saw our cheerleaders! Thank you! This was the hardest lesson to learn that day that no matter how much you trained over the winter, you can't substitute recreational workouts for training before a race at the end of the summer! Duh!IG Overall: 2:28:32, slower than last year by 8 minutes. Guess I need to start doing 5ks and 10ks as the run was the biggest disappointment and I will get lazy if I don't have something to train for.The rest of my family was busy with tris too as my 8yr old daughter and now 14 yr old son both competed in the Tri-Atholton kids Tri and Columbia Kidz tri. My daughter won her age group at Atholton and placed 4th in Columbia (she was NOT happy about her 4th place finish!). My son was just thankful not to puke at the Columbia race as he inhaled a donut prior to his swim at the Atholton tri and saw it again after the bike! Yes, I have my work cut out for me with that one!My husband did Columbia and then Cranky Monkey mountain bike race. He is also doing the Osprey Tri in October but you'll never see a RR from him! You barely got one from me until Dawn showed me how to roll them all together! Now I have a clear conscience!

Rochester, New York public radio station WXXI reports that a representative of the New York Civil Liberties Union has termed the state's video game bill a "flawed process."
Bob Perry of the NYCLU told WXXI:
This bill was adopted in the last minutes of the legislative session, without hearings, without meaningful debate, without an opportunity for members of the public or industry to address the constitutional issues and the media technology issues implicated by the bill.
NY Metro has additional comments from Perry:
The legislation proposes an ambitious state system regulating the way video games are sold in retail stores and viewed at home based on content that the First Amendment protects from regulation.
Meanwhile, the Empire State News reports that NYCLU executive director Donna Lieberman (left) urged that the bill be vetoed:
New Yorkers do not need the state judging which video games are appropriate and which aren't. Parents, not government committees, should be responsible for making those judgments. If the legislature wants to reduce youth violence, it should fund educational programs to teach students conflict resolution skills.
Bill sponsor Sen. Andrew Lanza (R) countered with:
This [law] does not prohibit the sale of video games based on … content. This simply requires a labeling. And at the end of the day if a game is rated mature, or violent, this does not preclude or prohibit someone from selling it to a minor. I wish we could do that, but the First Amendment, I believe, protects against that.
Gov. David Paterson must decide by tomorrow whether to sign the bill into law. The measure, which would require that games be rated and console systems have parental controls built in, passed overwhelmingly in the state legislature.
It is unclear whether or not the video game industry will oppose the New York law if the Governor signs it.

Poll: Faulconer vaults into lead
Republican makes big gains in virtually all voter categories
Councilman Kevin Faulconer has surged past Qualcomm executive Nathan Fletcher in the special election to replace Bob Filner as the city's next mayor, opening up a double-digit lead, according to a new U-T San Diego/10News poll.
Faulconer now leads with 41 percent compared to Fletcher's 28 percent. City Councilman David Alvarez is stuck at 17 percent, while former City Attorney Mike Aguirre is a distant fourth with seven percent.
Just four percent of respondents to the automated SurveyUSA poll of 550 likely voters said they remained undecided with less than three weeks before the Nov. 19 election.
In a hypothetical head-to-head election, Faulconer also for the first time leads Fletcher 46 percent to 41 percent with 12 percent undecided. That's a swing of 19 points in favor of Faulconer from six weeks ago, when he trailed by 14 points.
The results are a dramatic turnaround from a similar poll done six weeks ago that had Republican Faulconer trailing by 8 percent, and one conducted three weeks ago that had Democrat Fletcher leading by 4 percent.
This poll captured a more Republican-leaning mix of voters than the two previous polls, which may account for some of the swing. Nevertheless, it showed Faulconer gaining among Republicans, independents and Democrats.
Special mayoral election
- How Faulconer won it
- Faulconer brings city to familiar ground
- Map: How each precinct voted for mayor
- Faulconer win has lessons for state GOP
- Faulconer wins mayor's race
- Editorial: A new mayor for San Diego
Final election results, complete coverage
Fletcher, a former assemblyman, has been under fire by groups supporting Faulconer and Alvarez. They've hit at him with a barrage of mailers and advertising questioning his beliefs after shifting his position on several issues and changing his party affiliation from Republican to independent to Democrat in about a year and a half.
In recent days, he has also taken heat for refusing to release his college transcripts and wrongly characterizing himself as the only one in his family to attend college.
Despite all that, Fletcher dropped only four points from a poll published Oct. 13 in which he received 32 percent.
Jay Leve, founder and editor of SurveyUSA, said the picture for Fletcher between now and Election Day is cloudy.
"In municipal elections, and particularly in special elections, there can be a tremendous amount of volatility, so it's anyone's guess if Fletcher can rebound and if Faulconer will be able to hold on to what he has," he said."
Firefighter and police officer unions have sent mailers promoting Fletcher, who recently gained the high-profile endorsement of Gov. Jerry Brown.
Meanwhile, a pro-Faulconer television ad featuring popular ex-Mayor Jerry Sanders giving a testimonial for the councilman has aired repeatedly on major channels and he has been largely been spared from attacks.
Fletcher and Faulconer are drawing a fair share of support from across the political spectrum. Thirty-three percent of Fletcher supporters described themselves as moderate while 38 percent of Faulconer supporters gave that same description of themselves.
Faulconer also has not only closed what had been a gender gap in earlier polls, it has turned in his favor. He is now backed by 40 percent of female respondents compared to Fletcher's 29 percent and 18 percent for Alvarez. Fletcher had once held a 19-point lead over Faulconer among women.
It's all good for Faulconer at the moment, Leve said.
"It shows extraordinary progress," he said of the latest poll. "Faulconer is on a tremendous upward trajectory."
Alvarez, who is in his first term on the council, lost a little ground from the last poll, despite having the endorsement of the county Democratic Party and massive spending on his behalf by the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council. He registered 20 percent support last month and 17 percent in a poll in September.
Faulconer was backed by 69 percent of GOP respondents, 65 percent of self-described conservatives and 47 of older voters in the current poll.

I am trying to build a single speed on the cheap. I have a mountain bike frame with vertical drop outs. I plan on using a half link chain.
In my mind I don't see how even with a half link chain, the chain tension will be perfect.
How many have made a vertical drop frame into a SS, without using a derailluer or some other chain tensioning device?

We provide Personal Care Services (PCS) to the elderly and/or disabled. The non-medical
services we provide include bathing, dressing, grooming, light housekeeping, and periodic errands.
We also offer Private Duty Services which allows clients to customize their personal plan of care.
Under our Private Duty Services we provide Live-In Caregivers. We employ quality personal care attendants who are all insured.
Currently we provide services throughout Central and Eastern North Carolina.
The HealthCare Options Advantage Introducing TELEPHONY
HealthCare Options has always been a proactive company, so in 2005 when the state saw there was a need to restructure the Personal Care Services
(PCS) Program we welcomed change with open minds. Intent to embracing the newly restructured program we set as our priority to provide PCS
with the highest level of inegrity and accountability possible. We began utilizing Santrax which is a web based software that allows our employees to clock in from
their assigned clients home via telephone. We have been using this telephony system now for more than a year. Unlike other agencies we always know when our clients are not being seen
within 8 (eight) minutes of shift starting via alerts from Santrax. Telephony allows us to go completely paperless as all visits and task
performed with a client are recorded electronically. Once a client's land line phone has been entered into the system the employee can only call in
from that identified numbered any other number will generate an alert. By choosing HealthCare Options you are choosing an agency that believes in being held accountable to a high standard
of client care. You will find the nursing staff caring and compassionate. Our staff provides personal care for your peace of mind. Whether you have tried the rest give us a try because
we are one of the best.

'Dementia is not inevitable. It is a disease that needs tackling'
Published 11 December 2013
We've heard it heralded as a "time bomb", "epidemic", and "our greatest health challenge yet". The truth is that dementia will soon touch every family in the land. Around 800,000 people in the UK are facing a condition that slowly robs them of their ability to remember, speak and connect with their loved ones. One in three people over 65 will develop dementia in their lifetime.
But I write this not with the aim to frighten with alarmist statistics – but instead to convey the scale of the opportunity in front of us, as leaders from the G8 nations gather together today in London to tackle dementia on a global scale.
Never before has a prime minister used the presidency of the G8 to take action on a single disease. The G8 nations led the "war on cancer" and the co-ordinated response to HIV and AIDs, both of which resulted in pioneering new treatments and a better understanding of the diseases

"The Graduate" at the Johnson Theatre Nov. 5
"The Graduate" at the Johnson Theatre Nov. 5
The UNH Celebrity Series will present "LATW: The Graduate" Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Paul Creative Arts Center's Johnson Theatre.
"The Graduate," its characters, phrases, and themes, continue to ring true a half century after the publication of the novel. Whether seen on film or stage, or read, "The Graduate" has been a touchstone for generations, representing the universal feelings of rebellion, confusion, frustration, love, and redemption so honestly, and hilariously, embodied by the characters of Mrs. Robinson, Benjamin Braddock, Elaine, and the rest.
In the early 1960s, when Charles Webb wrote a novel called "The Graduate," America was in an "age of youth." Young people were leading the way to social, political, and cultural transformation. Webb's novel, published in 1963, was groundbreaking in those changing times; reviewers unanimously praised his brilliant and innovative use of dialogue and comedic genius in dealing with controversial themes and the main character's lack of direction.
In 1967, film was released featuring the Dustin Hoffman as the lost but heroically determined Benjamin Braddock. "The Graduate" quickly became a cult favorite and an artistic triumph, garnering multiple Academy Award nominations and it remains one of the top grossing films in history.
The cast includes veterans of L.A. Theatre Works, Heidi Dippold as Mrs. Robinson, Brian Tichnel as Benjamin Braddock, Tom Virtue as Mr. Braddock and Josh Clark as Mr. Robinson.
Dippold had a recurring role on "The Sopranos" and has had guest appearances on NCIS, "NYPD Blue," "Alias," and "Law & Order." She starred in the film "House" with Michael Madsen and was featured in "Stardom" and the campy-horror film "Mexican Werewolf in Texas."
Tichnell has recently been seen on "Newsroom," "Fetching," and "Maron" and will be featured on the forthcoming "Silicon Valley."
Clark has appeared in dozens of popular TV shows including; "Modern Family," "Mad Men," "Shameless," "The Mentalist," "Law & Order," "24," and "Heroes." Film credits include "Big" and "Ragtime," among others.
Virtue's numerous TV credits include long runs on Disney's "Even Stevens," "The Bonnie Hunt Show," "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," "Star Trek:Voyager," as well as dozens of guest appearances on "The Mindy Project," "The Office," "NCIS," "Big Time Rush," "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," and many more. His recent film credits include "Iron Man 3," "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," and "Blades of Glory."
Other cast members include Darren Richardson, Jill Renner, and Diane Adair.
Tickets prices are $30 general, $10 UNH student with ID and youth under 18 and can be purchased online at www.unharts.com, or by calling 2-7222(PCAC) Monday–Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. as well as one hour before each event.

Sundance Comedy Wrong Cops Teases, Terrifies With Rough Cut Preview
By Sean O'Connell 2013-01-17 14:01:31 comments
One of the many features were keeping track of as the Sundance Film Festival gets underway is Wrong Cops, writer-director Quentin Dupieuxs story of crooked officers trying to dispose of a body. Any time a filmmaker puts out a movie about a homicidal tire (Rubber), they have earned our attentions for at least a couple more movies to see what else they have to say. If you cant make it to Park City for Sundance you can enjoy this Rough Preview trailer for Wrong Cops, which just made it way online as the winter fest kicks off:
Cross-dressers? Eyepatches? Blatant racism? Cops who pull guns on beautiful women and demand to see their breasts? The scatalogical humor works pretty well in a short package, but well have to wait until Dupieux and his cast actually find a story to connect all of this misbehavior into a cohesive narrative.
The last time a group of rule-bending police officers stormed Sundance, the Broken Lizard guys brought Super Troopers to Park City and left as virtual legends. Jay Chandrasekhar has parlayed the Broken Lizard fame into a legitimate directing career. Its still too early to tell what the future holds for Dupieux. But if Wrong Cops bursts out of the gate this week at Sundance, we might have the beginning of a stellar storytelling career unfolding right before our eyes. For now, we know that Wrong Cops co-stars Mark Burnham, Eric Judor, Steve Little and goth rocker Marilyn Manson, playing a character named David Dolores Frank. To follow all of our Sundance Film Festival coverage, bookmark this page, which already has Katey Richs first video blog from Park City. And hopefully well bring you more on Wrong Cops as the fest continues.

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 RC1 (Build 201301102100)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_11
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.6-b04
When I want to add a new project, I first choose choose a category, e.g.
Java Web and the the concrete project, e.g Web Application. Then the
project skeleton is created by NetBeans, allways using Ant.
If I want to use Maven, I first have to select the build tool, Maven, and
then the project type, e.g. Web Application.
My proposal is to offer the user one unified method to create new projects.
Category -> Project Type, then choose build tool Ant, Maven.
This might be enhanced in the future, e.g. Buildr, Graddle
Some special types like" Maven, create from archetype" might be placed in the "Other" category
Created attachment 130314 [details]
IDE log
I think this is dup of already reported bug, but can't find number
the current grouping historically started this way because maven project were limited in functionality in terms of what was supported in the IDE, which is somewhat still the case (no javafx, platform based development is not equal).
additionally the requirement to choose between ant and maven is not easily decided by those users that have either no opinion or no knowledge about build systems. Moving the Maven templates into a separate category spared those users the need to decide. Ant projects mostly attempt to hide the build system behind the covers while maven not always does. The audience might be entirely different.

Medicare Payment Rule Includes AAFP-Sought Improvements
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the 2011 final physician fee schedule on November 2, 2010. Included in it are several improvements as recommended by AAFP in a regulatory comment letter submitted on July 28, 2010.
Of particular interest to family physicians are policies that:
- Significantly improve the eligibly rules for the Primary Care Incentive Program (PCIP) so that "over 80 percent of physicians who currently are enrolled in Medicare with a primary specialty designation of family medicine … would qualify for the PCIP based on CY 2009 claims data," according to the agency. Compared with CMS' initial proposals, the final policy will allow considerably more family physicians to successfully qualify for the 10-percent bonus for primary care services as called for in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Based on suggestions from AAFP and other primary care physician groups, CMS will now exclude all non-physician fee schedule allowed charges (i.e., charges associated with labs, imaging, and durable medical equipment supplies) and hospital E&M codes when determining PCIP eligibility.
- Greatly expedite when newly enrolled Medicare primary care physicians become eligible for the PCIP.
- Reaffirm the agency's 2010 decision to eliminate consultation codes (which allowed better payment for E & M codes).
- Clarify definitions, patient eligibility requirements, and payment levels for the new ACA-authorized Annual Wellness Visit and the Initial Preventive Physical Examination.
- Finalize CMS' definition of preventive services.
- Reduce significantly the 2011 e-prescribing reporting burden, as AAFP had recommended: rather than requiring practices to report on 50 percent of all applicable services, CMS will award the entire year's bonus after a practice reports e-prescribing just 25 times.
- Expand to 12 months (from the agency's initial proposal of 6 months) the time physicians have to file a Part B claim under an exception to the ACA requirement that all Medicare claims must be submitted within 12 months.
- Expand the list of approved Medicare telehealth services, as AAFP had suggested.
Until it expires at the end of November 2010, the Medicare conversion factor is $36.8729. CMS also included in the final rule information pertaining to the approaching reductions in Medicare physician payments. Unless Congress intervenes, the final 2011 conversion factor as published in the final regulation will be $25.5217 on January 1, 2011.
