Create interactive, choose your own adventure (branching) style stories with inklewriter. This site is ideal for anyone to create a story and then share with others via a unique URL. These stories allow for others to create their own path or choose an existing one. Begin by choosing to read stories or create your own. Type parts of the story including the title, author, beginning, introduction, and add sections as needed. After each paragraph is the option to create different outcomes of the story, offering choices the reader makes. The site contains excellent tutorials for getting started with stories. When finished, share the URL for your story using Twitter or Facebook or copy the URL to share and bookmark as you wish. Of course, your "story" need not be fiction! You could also write an opinion piece with branches for people to ask click on questions about facets of your argument! NOTE: When you click to begin writing, you should click SIGN IN and choose to make a new account. Do this before you start writing in order to be able to save. The tool will then save your work as you go along. Although you do not HAVE to sign in before you start, it is risky to sign up later! Here is a sample to show just ONE way to use Inklewriter besides the obvious use for storytelling. Inklewriter has also made it easier for teachers to sign up students WITHOUT student email addresses. Read the directions about how to do this on the landing page by scrolling down and finding "Sign-up and email addresses."

In the Classroom
View stories on the site together to understand the components of the site and discuss how different choices in characters and settings lead to different story outcomes. (Be sure to preview stories before sharing, since there is "public"' content.) Watch the tutorials together on your interactive whiteboard (or projector) before students begin to write stories. Use a graphic organizer to "map out" the story before writing. Create a short story together as a class to become familiar using the site. Assign a group of students to create an interactive story each week to share on your classroom website or blog. Have students create a story map before beginning a story on inklewriter; use a tool such as 25 Language Arts Graphic Organizers, reviewed here. Create class stories to teach about literature, geography, reading comprehension, history, science concepts, and more. As a more "serious" approach, use Inklewriter to present opinion pieces where you take a position and allow readers to click on questions about it. They could also click on statements expressing opposing views so you can write counterarguments to their points. This could end up being a powerful way to present an argument and evidence as required by Common Core writing standards. A graphic organizer for planning and organizing evidence is a must! Teachers of gifted could use this for students to develop elaborate fictional or informational pieces. If you work with students who struggle, scaffold with a template for them to organize their thoughts.Edge Features:
Includes an education-only area for teachers and students

Title: | An Iterative Generalized Vickrey Auction: Strategy-Proofness without Complete Revelation |
Author: | Parkes, David C. |
Citation: | Parkes, David C. 2001. An iterative generalized Vickrey auction: Strategy-proofness without complete revelation.

Abstract: | The generalized Vickrey auction (GVA) is a strategy-proof combinatorial auction, in which truthful bidding is the optimal strategy for an agent. In this paper we address a fundamental problem with the GVA, which is that it requires agents to compute and reveal their values for all combinations of items. This can be very difficult for bounded-rational agents with limited or costly computation. We propose an experimental design for an iterative combinatorial auction. We have a theoretical proof that the the auction implements the outcome of the Vickrey auction in special cases, and initial experimental results support our conjecture that the auction implements the outcome of the Vickrey auction in all cases. The auction has better information properties than the sealedbid GVA: in each round agents must only bid for the set of bundles that maximize their utility given current ask prices, which does not require agents to compute their exact values for every bundle. |

WHOOPS! Scrap Around the World
This month at Scrap Around the World it was all about rainbows and bright colors which totally dragged me out of my comfort zone but here is my layout WHOOPS!
This was the color palette and sketch we had to follow this month
I turned the sketch sideways and scrapped one of my favourite pics of my granddaughter Lilly. This photo was taken on the day of my mom's funeral. We were in the backyard of my mom's house and trying to relax after the burial. We gave the girls free reign to play and they chose the water hose as their toy of the day. Well needless to say Lilly lost!
She managed the impossible and managed to make me smile on such a tough day. I love her expression! I divided the page into a grid and painted all the embellies according to the rainbow.
A mix of Prima flowers in the same colors as the grid rainbow.
I even tried to keep the title consistent! I have to admit this was hard for me as I am not used to bright colors but I gave it a shot. Hope you enjoyed! I am somewhat distracted these days as I am awaiting the arrival of my fourth grandchild a boy! He is due now and I worry about my daughter as she has had many complications with this pregnancy one of them being a huge kidney stone which is causing her great pain and kidney infections. I apologize if I seem way out there but my thoughts are with her and little Jax. In the meantime I will trudge on! All the best and TFL! :)

Central Station (Gare Centrale in French) is the primary (Via Rail) railway station in Montreal, Canada. Situated in the heart of downtown, it is an important link in Montreal's "underground city" - which is an elaborate and extensive network of tunnels/walkways that connects the entire downtown core, all underground. And for your convenience, the station also houses "Les Halles de la Gare", a shopping and restaurant complex. Here is where I usually stop for a muffin and coffee.
I think Montreal has one of the nicest railway lounges in Canada. Relax or catch up on your email while you wait for your train to arrive. And the staff is also very friendly and helpful.

Wow they provide a very nice waiting area for their commuters!
Wow, haven't been in a train since I was a student travelling to Toronto. What a change from the plastic bucket seats they used to have. Looks like a great place to people watch while you have a coffee waiting to board.

I'm Out!
Of the Tiger Stadium auction, that is. I had my eye on some women's room signs, but the prices are going too high. Plus there's a 28% buyer's fee and a 10% other thing fee and a 3% something else fee, and you have to pay for shipping. About the only affordable things are plastic letter "I"s that MAY have been used in a scoreboard. Even those would run you 50 bucks after all the charges. So, you've got a half hour left. Hope you've got cash.

Punchy Ripping Lead
Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).
The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.
Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.
For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.
Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.

The Z-Sec (Zombie-Security; sometimes erroneously called Z-Sector) is a closer recreation of the classic Former Human, as they carry firearms; Doom 3's civilian zombies do not. Unlike the classic variations, all Z-Secs wear black uniforms and armor, excluding the pistol guard, possibly as reference to the classic shotgun guy. In contrast to the classic Former Humans, which were previously government Marine soldiers, Z-Secs were originally UAC security guards (private mercenary contractors) that were possessed and mutated by evil demonic spirits. They are considerably more difficult to deal with than the original Former Humans.
The base's Marine contingent appears to have mostly avoided this zombification fate, but were soon overrun by demonic forces; the player witnessed one marine being strangled to death by a pistol-wielding Z-Sec in a communication terminal shortly before another Z-Sec appears to attack him. In trailers and early in the game, an in-game monitor shows one being possessed by a ghostly skull, which causes his skin to turn white and his eyeballs to explode. Several of the Z-Secs have their eye sockets hidden due to their helmet visor, although it is assumed that they have lost their eyes. The visor itself is completely red, probably due to the blood. Despite this, they are still able to "see" the player, possibly due to the hellish spirits controlling them.
There are four types of Z-Secs, each with its own distinct characteristics and firearms. These are the Pistol Guard, the Shotgun Guy, the Machinegunner and the Riot Shield Trooper.
Combat characteristics
Unlike regular zombies, Z-Secs do not suffer from slowed movement, and possess the same speed and agility as a normal human soldier. They are also notable for their artificial intelligence (AI), which makes them fight like soldiers. They duck behind objects, lean around or over cover to take shots at the player, and occasionally rush the player's position. When shot, they can sometimes sidestep a single step in an attempt to dodge further attacks (this can effectively allow them to dodge a follow-up shotgun blast at close range). However, they do not shoot and move at the same time, leaving them vulnerable to the player's fire when advancing forward from one position to another. They also run noticeably slower than the player does, making them relatively easy to hit when not hiding behind cover. A sure sign that the player is about to be attacked by Z-Secs is the telltale radio chatter that accompanies them, perhaps a homage to Half-Life Grunts (government soldiers). The radio chatter itself is mostly low growls and groans, as well as a few repeated phrases (including one that sounds like "Beethoven"), and it doesn't seem as though the Z-Secs rely on radio communications to either organize themselves or work together.
Like most of Doom 3's monsters, headshots do twice as much damage as regular body shots. Compared to their Classic Doom counterparts, Z-Secs are more focused and intelligent, as they can dodge, take cover, and advance towards the player, instead of wandering semi-randomly. They also have better aim, are a lot more aggressive, and fire more frequently.
- Pistol Guard: Similar to the Zombieman from the Classic Dooms. Bald guy with no helmet and glowing white eyes, armed with a pistol. They have the unique ability to dodge by rolling sideways, and always retaliate with a few pistol shots after a successful dodge. They occasionally fire multiple shots in rapid succession and are generally decent shots, but of all three Z-sec types, these are the ones that are the most likely to miss. They have about half as much health as the other Z-sec types, and take around four pistol bullets to the body to kill. Drops a Pistol when killed.
- Shotgun Guy: Similar to the Classic Doom shotgun guy, but he wears a helmet with a broken visor, and completely hollow eye sockets. He is about twice as tough as the Pistol Z-Sec, but still reasonably easy to kill. Unlike the player's shotgun, the Z-sec shotgunner's weapon has narrower spread, but it is considerably less powerful than the player's version. Can sometimes rapid-fire at a faster rate than the player. Drops a Shotgun when killed.
- Machinegunner: Wears a closed helmet with an intact but blood-spattered visor (obscuring his eyes) and a breather, ultimately covering his entire face. Unlike shotgun Z-Secs, instead of rushing the player's position, these zombies will often dig in behind cover and aggressively spray the player's position with bullets. This Z-Sec type is the only one that can fire and run straight at the player at the same time. If the player hides behind cover, these Z-Secs will suppress them with continuous machine gun fire. Arguably the toughest of the three types. Drops a Machine Gun when killed.
- Riot Shield Trooper: The rarest Z-Sec type, with only a few being encountered throughout the game (and not encountered at all in the Xbox version of the game). In addition to a pistol, this type carries a large Riot shield and wears a helmet, protecting it from attacks. The shield effectively protects it from anything that hits the shield, and being fully armored himself, he is still fairly tough (similar to the Machinegunner) when hit where his shield does not protect him. AI is the standard Z-Sec combat tactics. The Pistol sound is just like the player's.
Tactical analysis
Although Doom 3 Z-Secs serve a cannon fodder role when compared to the game's tougher demonic enemies, they are both comparatively tougher than the classic zombie troops and equipped with better AI, and should not be underestimated.
The presence of Z-Secs is usually announced before you actually see them due to the fact that their radios are still working; you can hear garbled radio chatter from their suits seconds before you see them.
Using cover is extremely important when fighting these zombies, as their hitscan weapons cannot be dodged by circle strafing. The Machine Gun is generally a good basic weapon against these pests and a good tactic is usually to mow them down with concentrated pistol or machinegun fire, switching to the shotgun to finish them off if they rush the player at close range. It is usually a bad idea to use the shotgun right away as it has short range and the Z-Secs are tough enough to potentially survive anything less than a direct point-blank blast, leaving players vulnerable after the initial shot. However, a headshot with the shotgun will kill a Z-Sec instantly. With a little practice, it is relatively easy to ambush Z-Secs by lurking just behind a corner and killing them with a point-blank shotgun blast when they come around the corner to chase you. If they hide behind cover, grenades are also a viable option.
More powerful weapons like the Chain Gun and the plasma gun are very effective against Z-Secs but should probably be reserved for tougher monsters or larger crowds of Z-Secs.
- Pistol Guard: The pistol works well against this type, but the machine gun gets the job done quicker. It is often a good idea to keep a good distance as he is more likely to miss his mark when the player is far away. Due to their low health, the shotgun is also very effective against them even when fired from about a dozen feet away.
- Shotgun Guy: This type should be brought down as quickly as possible, as he is capable of dealing a great deal of damage if left unchecked. Using the machine gun to soften him up at range and then finishing him off when he gets in close is an effective strategy, but caution should be taken to only come out of hiding after he has fired a shot. More powerful weapons should be considered. Running straight at him is definitely not recommended, as you risk yourself to his highly damaging attacks. Alternatively, hide behind a doorway when available, shotgun at the ready. Wait for him to charge through the door, then blast him in the face. This works 99.9% of the time, but be prepared to fire again if for some reason the first shot did not kill him.
- Machinegunner: Although he fires more than the other types, his bullets are less powerful. Patience is a good tactic, as he tends to pin down the player with prolonged sprays. It is effective to wait for him to come out of hiding, shoot and quickly duck down behind cover before he opens up. It is a bad idea to fire prolonged bursts at him, as he is tough enough to recover swiftly from hits, often enabling him to retaliate swiftly. Machinegunners do not fire and move at the same time, and so they are vulnerable to return fire when advancing forward towards the player's position. Alternatively, you can use the same doorway tactic as with the Shotgun Guy. This tactic works better against Machinegunners than Shotgun Guys because even if he survives the first shot, he will take the time to kneel before shooting you, allowing you to get in a finishing shot.
- Riot Shield Trooper: This type requires accurate aim and cool nerves as his shield is impenetrable. Keeping one's distance is strongly advised if weaker weapons like the machinegun are used. The best way to dispatch of this nasty trooper is run into him with the Chainsaw (it will damage him even when the shield is hit). Another possibility is to hit him with a grenade or with a rocket.
- When you pick up the PDA of Seamus Blake in Communications, one of his E-mails is a receipt for a CD of music called "Champagne Tomiko" by "The ZSecs".

twin city sidewalks
...the view from the sidewalks of Minneapolis and Saint Paul...
Classic Sidewalks of the Silver Screen #8
... It's the scene from
Ladri di Biciclette
(1948) where Antonio gets chased from the alley and wanders off to sit on the sidewalk and hang his head, before trying and failing to steal a bicycle in front of his young son. Perhaps the saddest of all sidewalk movies?

whats up with our report.

They have been trying to dial it in better for a while now. There are a lot of factors involved with forecasting RI.
Why don't you help out by using the Spot On function whenever you check it. According to Gaffer, this helps fine tune the algae-rhythms and makes for forecasting happy fun time go go.
I've noticed the same the past couple days...buouy's at 6+ feet and there's nothing going on, I think there's too much west in the swell for any actual waves to be showing up. I have noticed all throughout the fall if anything the days I was out seemed underforecast or spot on(been using the spot on function to contribute). I think the glich is with these swells that have a lot of west in them...that being said, like any other weather forecast there are variables that are subject to change and I'm overall pretty happy with the job SI does.

I don't mind so much. I wouldn't mind a north west swell report six days out just to see that nice green picture of something to look forward to. I'm very happy with s.I. just killing time till my under ground wave generator's finished
Looks like you want to file the forecast for the east facing breaks in Rhode Island:
I'll take a look at the south facing breaks forecast, which is the default Rhode Island forecast.
Maybe, we should do away with the south facing forecast.

When I was running the report on my webpage, swellinfo was off more often than it was on. As ERock said there are so many factors with Rhode Island, however, with many SSW swells most of the south facing beaches are missed because of their Easterly angles, along with the reefs. My advice is to check numerous times and you'll see how temperamental your spots can be.

Mayan Art part 3
Here we have the final version of the mural.
I also got a brief description of their meaning which, in words of the author, is:
"A representation of the transition between the Mayan world and the tech world", including references to Felipe Carrillo Puerto, and the "Santuario de la Cruz Parlante" (talking cross sanctuary) in the left side of the mural, as central parts of the Mayan history in the state of Quintana Roo, and references to Instituto Tecnologico Superior de Felipe Carrillo Puerto (technology institute) and information technology in general, in the right side of the painting.
In my opinion it is a beautiful piece of Mayan art. ¿What do you think?

Mayan Art Part 2
Here we can see how the mural is taking form.
Today it was revealed for the painter but, unfortunately, I still don't have a picture of the final version. I'm planning to take a shot of it in one or two days and immediately post it.
The painter gave us his point of view of the picture and, interestingly, suggested that it was only "one" of the multiple interpretations of the picture as any one of us is capable to generate a personal interpretation that, and the end of the day, is equally valid.

Super-zoom with RAW format?
I've been using the Canon Powershot S3IS and love it but am ready for an upgrade. I like the features of the new SX20-IS but have discovered that RAW format is important for stock submissions. Is there an alternative to moving to the expense of a DSLR that will give me 20x or greater zoom and the resolution that I need?

Welcome to the Forum. We're pleased you dropped by. The Fuji S-200 and the Panasonic FZ-35 both have Raw Format but they are not quite 20X optical zoom, closer to 18X optical zoom. Have a great day. Sarah Joyce |

Before looking at the RAW issue I would ensure that for the short of photography you will be interested in that you will be able to get the quality without going dSLR. Shooting stock photography that sells is very hard and only the best will cut it.

To Mark's point - there are certain stock agencies that have a list of approved cameras they will accept images from. So I would suggest some thorough research on the agencies you want to work with and their requirements before you make your investment.

Your camera can actually shoot raw via an add-on program called CHDK. See this page for more info:
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK But, the format used is not going to be recognized by some raw converters. Where are you seeing a requirement to shoot in raw? It seems doubtful that a stock agency would want a raw file. Is this a specific site requiring you shoot in that format? Note that with some of the stock agencies, they will have a list of unacceptable camera models; and with some larger agencies like Alamy, that's going to include most point and shoot models, as well as a number of dSLR models. See the "Further help" section at the bottom of this page for links to a recommended cameras list and unsuitable cameras list: http://www.alamy.com/contributors/st...al-cameras.asp Other stock agencies may have different requirements (sometimes unofficial), but may require certain quality standards. For example, you'll find links to quality standards in a variety of areas on this page for istockphoto: http://www.istockphoto.com/tutorial_2.0_quality.php |

I don't know of any stock agencies that require RAW submissions. If you want to shoot stock a P&S likely will not cut it. Noise is a huge issue, and even at base ISO's, you will likely have some noise present. A quality DSLR and lenses as well as some very good lighting is necessary to be successful in the stock world.

In Science, Civilization, and Empire in India, Zaheer Baber analyzes the social context of the origins and development of science and technology in India from antiquity through colonialism to the modern period. The focus is on the two- way interaction between science and society: how specific social and cultural factors led to the emergence of specific scientific/technological knowledge systems and institutions that transformed the very social conditions that produced them. A key feature is the author's analysis of the role of pre-colonial trading circuits and other institutional factors in transmitting scientific and technological knowledge from India to other civilizational complexes. A significant portion represents an analysis of the role of modern science and technology in the consolidation of the British empire in India.

Next week is my daughter's 35th birthday. I can't believe it! It takes my breath away that she's that old - which means that I'm getting up there too! Some days I feel like I should be 30; some days 60. But mostly I'm just glad to have such great kids (including kid-in-law) and grandkid. I'm cooking up a surprise for the birthday. Here's a photo of me when I was about 2. I'll tell you after the official b-day gift what I'm doing with it.

Andy Warhol: New Directions book designer
Tucked in the history of New Directions book designers, book ended by Alvin Lustig on one side and Rodrigo Corral on the other, are four jacket designs by none other the legendary artist Andy Warhol. Yep, Andy Warhol worked for New Directions as a book designer off and on for almost 10 years. Our editor-in-chief recalls James Laughlin telling her an Andy Warhol anecdote:
"He was a very strange looking man. But all the secretaries loved him because he would sneak little origami creatures on their desks when they weren't looking. One time as he was walking out of the office he looked bashfully over at a secretary goggling at him and said 'I like you. You're so hirsute.' Her reply? A very soft and giggly 'thank you.'"
For the most part the covers play it safe (The angel on Firbank's Three Novels being the most well known, if only known until now, among the current staff), but uncovering The Adventures of Maud Noakes was a bit of a trip. It's a satirical autobiographical account of a English woman with a naive fascination for Africans that wants to save the African continent from white missionaries. In a risque tongue-in cheek gesture, Andy covered both the front and back covers with what looks like potato-stamped African faces that surround a smiling raggedy-Ann looking white girl. Maud Nokes came out in 1961, a year before Andy's fine arts debut at the Ferus Gallery which marked the beginning of his meteoric rise to art world stardom and the end of his time with New Directions. Of the four titles, only the Firbank remains in print with Andy's very large cherub cupid on the cover, though without the candy pink back scrawl. Desire and Pursuit of the Whole is notable for not only the Warhol jacket, but also a Introduction by W.H. Auden. Someone in the office really likes the hair on the woman for Love is a Pie. Works by both Maude Hutchins and Baron Corvo have been reissued as Classics by the New York Review of Books. –Michael

There are also a couple of covers by Ray Johnson – he did the Rimbaud Illuminations as well as W. C. Williams's In the American Grain (if I'm remembering correctly) and probably more?
I had no idea New Directions had published The Desire and Pursuit of the Whole. With Fr. Rolfe & Firbank, was Warhol being assigned gay authors or would he have requested them?
The paperbook editions of Illuminations and In The American Grain were indeed Ray Johnson covers that replaced the Alvin Lustig cloth cover originals. Actually, we've just reissued In the American Grain with the original Lustig design as well as an introduction by Rick Moody replacing the Ray Johnson cover. I know that the cover of Kenneth Patchen's Because It Is was done in collaboration with Ray Johnson. A good place to look all this up is The New Directions Reader NDP 135. A 244-page reference guide to every iota of New Directions information for books published before 1964. That's where I was able to look up the Warhol credits.
In regards to your other question, I simply do not know if he targeted or was specifically given gay authors. Maude Hutchins doesn't fall into that camp. Nor does the Alan Neame, though The Adventures of Maud Noakes is pretty racy which might have also piqued his interest.
Hey, Dan,
We have two covers for Illuminations as well as for In the American Grain. Ray Johnson did covers for Illuminations and for In the American Grain. The other covers were done by Alvin Lustig. We are putting out a new edition of In the American Grain with the Alvin Lustig cover and an introduction by Rick Moody.
Hi! Just read THE WAY IT WASN'T by the great James Laughlin. What a delight! It's about time ND publishes a book on the groundbreaking graphic design involved in its books since the late 1930s.
Pedro Marques
Hi, Pedro.
Thanks so much for the nice comment on The Way It Wasn't. That book showcases our renewed commitment to graphic design that matches the quality of our books; it was designed by Rodrigo Corral and Gus Powell with the production work being handled by Jennifer Van Dalsen. We have a great production manager with Rodrigo Corral signed up as a Creative Director at large, and I hope you enjoy the work they've been putting out as much as the classic designs for ND.
I would enjoy even more a book on the New Directions book design since its beginings, published by ND. Seriously guys: consider it for your 75th birthday. I'll BUY that book any time, anywhere, anyhow!
This comes from someone who waited more than 2 years to get his hands on a reasonably priced ND original edition of Lorca's III TRAGEDIES, just because I couldn't take my eyes off that Alvin Lustig dustjacket (the one with the montage of 5 photos)!

First it was Justin Bieber, who cut his precious hair yesterday, now this? Nevermind that there are horrific earthquakes in New Zealand, Somali pirates killing innocent folks on their boat, and whales washing up on the shore and dying in droves…Jennifer Aniston cut her hair, and apparently we just want to self-soothe and rock ourselves in the corner with our laptops by obsessing about THIS idiocy.
The tanned, lonely spinster cut her hair and showed up with the chopped brassiness in Spain while whoring out that awful Adam Sandler movie. Bigger news than Moammar Kadafi refusing resign as head Cockroach of Libya.
Ever feel like what you do with your day is a complete and utter waste? I'm sure YOU don't…you aren't the one actually writing about this drivel.

New Scientist looks at the latest science regarding the possibility of life extension via dietary modification. Some evidence indicates the variable isn't (only) calories, but IGF-1, as triggered by protein:
The protein theory is bad news for people on low-carbohydrate weight-loss plans like the Atkins diet. "I'd be wary of diets that put a heavy emphasis on protein," says Piper. "It's hard to see how that could be healthy."
Fontana goes one step further, saying that high-protein diets could risk accelerated ageing and cancer. It's good news, however, for people already on low-protein diets, like vegans, who avoid eating meat, eggs and dairy products. In 2007, Fontana showed that vegans have lower levels of IGF-1 than meat-eaters.
There may be another reason for vegans to celebrate. Studies on flies and rodents suggest that cutting intake of one particular amino acid, called methionine, lengthens life to a similar degree as calorie restriction. Proteins in meat and other animal products have high levels of methionine, so a vegan diet would score well by that measure, too.
Obviously, this is not an argument for veganism per se; one can have follow a high-protein vegan diet (Tofurky Beer Brat, anyone?, and one can follow a lower-protein omnivorous diet. But it is an interesting counter to those who think protein is the main concern.

Catch the SPORTSTALKNY webcast tonight at 9 PM; I won't be there as I have tickets for the Nets (holy @#$# what did they do to ticket prices?!), but I did tape this as a substitute.

We have news from Eurogamer that reveals a statement from Human Head Studios regarding the length of time it will take the gamer to complete Prey 2, campaign lengths these days are criticized by many, therefore this news could be very important for many.
The folks at Human Head Studios say that it should take on average 15 hours to play your way through and complete the main storyline to Prey 2, however they also say that it will take more time to complete the game if you choose to do all the side missions and explore the environment.
"We're targeting, for the average player, at least around 15 hours to play through. But because there are so many open world activities you can do when you explore around and find different things, it's hard to put an upper cap on it." says project lead Chris Reinhart.
This is the average time that has been set, however we are sure that the Achievement / Trophy hunters among you could easily double this time trying to complete the game 100%. We have not yet heard much about Prey 2's multiplayer offerings therefore we will have to keep you posted. Do you think a 15 hour campaign is long enough?
