The Scientific American magazine dedicated its special issue of April 2003 to the evolution propaganda. In this issue, there were reprints of articles which had appeared before, on of which, was on of the foremost propaganda materials: the dino-bird. The claims made in the article titled "The Origins Of Birds And Their Flight" by Kevin Padian and Luis M. Chiappe has been refuted previously on our website at; http://www.darwinism-watch.com/scientific_american_dino_bird.html.
(You may also see the following for further information:
Another of the claims made by the Scientific American in its special issue, is on the subject of the origins of whales, which has also been responded to many times on our website. Our response to the article titled "The Mammals That Conquered The Seas" by Kate Wong can be reached from here.
Yet another untrue assertion printed in the special issue of the Scientific American is the article that appeared under the title of "Rulers Of The Jurrassic Seas." It first appeared in the magazine"s December 2000 issue authored by Ryosuke Motani and deals with the fish-shaped sea dweller Ichthyosaur"s supposed evolution. We will expose the evolution mistakes in this article by the Scientific American.
The Claim That The Ichthyosaur Evolved From Land Animals Is Groundless
The article states that the uncertainties around the origins of the Ichthyosaur continue but that these creatures are understood to have evolved from land animals. No evidence is produced for this supposed evolution. Just because of the Ichthyosaur"s skull and jawbone resembled land animals" and that it had four legs, was considered enough evidence that it evolved from land animals. With this logic though it is possible to claim evolutionary relations, and that "they evolved from one another," between animals not even the evolutionists themselves do, simply by showing some similarities in evidence. There is no scientific basis to the claims of the Scientific American.
The Ichthyosaur was a sea dweller with unique characteristics and there is no sign to be found of its supposed ancestors. The authors of Evolution of the Vertebrates, Colbert and Morales, say on the origins of this animal in their book:
The Ichthyosaurs, in many respects the most highly specialized of the marine reptiles, appeared in early Triassic times. Their advent into the geologic history of the reptiles was sudden and dramatic; there are no clues in pre-Triassic sediments as to the possible ancestors of the Ichthyosaurs… The basic problem of Ichthyosaur relationships is that no conclusive evidence can be found for linking these reptiles with any other reptilian order. (1)
Especially the Ichthyosaurs living in the deep waters of the open seas had complex and unique characteristics. Evolutionists though claim that a land dwelling reptile coincidentally adapted to living in the wide-open deep waters of the oceans. This is an impossible scenario. The vertebrate history expert Romer states that "No earlier forms [of Ichthyosaurs] are known. The peculiarities of Ichthyosaur structure would seemingly require a long time for their development and hence a very early origin for the group, but there are no known Permian reptiles antecedent to them. " (2) Romers reality, established in the sixties, is still valid today.
To see some of the characteristics of the Ichthyosaur described by Scientific American will make it clearer why these creatures could not have evolved from land animals.
Not only were the advanced, fish-shaped Ichthyosaurs made for aquatic life; they were made for life in the open ocean, far from shore. These extreme adaptations to living in water meant that most of them had lost key features-such as particular wrist and anklebones-that would have made it possible to recognize their distant cousins on land.
As the Scientific American admits, for a land animal to evolve into Ichthyosaur requires "extreme adaptations" which consequently creates the necessity of many "transitional forms" to get there. The fossil record has no "records" on these transitional forms.
One of the defining features of the Ichthyosaur separating it from land animals is its paddle like feet. Among land animals, there are no such feet to be found. Contrary to the delicate toes of reptiles, the Ichthyosaur"s toe bones are short and wide. All its foot bones are very much alike. In most of the other four-legged animals, it is fairly easy to distinguish the anklebones from the inner feet bones, but all the Ichthyosaur"s bones are closely packed together, without skin in between, forming thus a strong paddle. All the foot bones being thus contained within the same soft tissue increases its solidity. The same structure can be seen in whales, dolphins, sea lions, and sea turtles. This soft tissue wrapping up the bone structure increases hydrodynamic efficiency by its water resistance reducing shape. If their toes were distinct from one another, this could not be achieved. The question as how the Ichthyosaur"s feet evolved remains unanswered. There are no signs indicating that they evolved from the fins of fish and no evidence to suggest that they gradually evolved from land reptiles. Actually, the Scientific American acknowledges that there was no gradual transition in a certain order to these paddle feet. It says:
Indeed, analyses of Ichthyosaur limbs reveal a complex evolutionary process in which digits were lost, added and divided.
As seen, the history of the Ichthyosaur"s paddle feet does not show the signs of gradual and continuous evolution, as the evolutionists would have liked. But just like all the other evolutionists, the Scientific American ignores this reality and helps its readership to do the same with a classic act of demagogy. It says:
Needless to say, evolution does not always follow a continuous, directional path from one trait to another.
When evolutionists cannot fulfill their expectations, they resort to such explanations with which they try to save their theories, but the data from the fossil records shows clearly that there is no evolution.
Furthermore, the same foot design as the Ichthyosaur"s seen in today"s sea mammals like whales, dolphins and sea lions is also difficult to explain by the theory of evolution. It has not been possible to create any evolutionary links between them despite their common body design. This and many other examples disprove the "homology" claim by the evolutionists. The common body plan of these creatures is because of their common design.
As seen, the Ichthyosaur, with its complex characteristics, has been designed specifically for a life in the deep waters of the oceans. For a land animal to acquire these traits it requires countless spot on mutations, but coincidences cannot plan and alter accordingly all the characteristics of an animal to adapt to a certain environment. Coincidences cannot know every trait of a land animal, from its toes to its vertebra, from eye design to swimming technique and how to alter them, or how to design this animal to make it suitable for the deep waters. Coincidences do not possess the intellect or awareness necessary to do this. The fossil records demonstrate that these animals appeared of a sudden, complete with their unique and complex traits and not by gradual and coincidental mutations. The result is evident: The Ichthyosaur did not evolve; it was created.
The Evolutionary Dogmatic Expressions Of The Scientific American
Reading between the lines of that article reveals an often-used style by evolutionists. The author first speaks of a condition requiring adaptation by an animal, then proceeds to assert that the animal "solved the problem by developing an organ x." For instance, animals living in the depth of the oceans, it is said, require necessarily the ability to resurface quickly. Today"s animals have solved this problem, it is claimed, by "constructing the outer shell of their bones less dense, a bit like Swiss cheese." In other words, animals diving deep must realize the need for resurfacing quickly, ponder a solution to increase the speed for doing so and find the solution in reducing the weight of their bones. Then they need to reflect on how to reduce bone weight, decide that altering the density of the outer bone is the way to achieve this and then put this decision into practice. This is the written form of a "scientist"s" world of illusions. This is not science and there is no reason, logic, or science in these claims. In reality, neither the needs nor the intentions of an animal can alter its biological design. Change then would be only possible by coincidental mutations, which do not add genetic information to the DNA of the animal and therefore cannot create new beings. This is a proven fact.
Ichthyosaurs are creatures living in the sea with their own unique characteristics. There is no evidence to suggest that these animals evolved from land animals or fish for that matter. This article by Scientific American was authored with evolutionist prejudices. The Ichthyosaur with its body form of fish and all its other characteristics has been designed for a life in deep waters. The designer behind this perfect design is not blind coincidences, but God, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth.

Choosing the Right Cologne for Your Man
A chic set of thick bangs can give your face instant definition, and can also make you look far more sophisticated than the wispy ones of your youth. "This works best for straight hair, with a normal to thick texture," says Tommy Buckett of Sally Hershberger Downtown salon. "The bangs are the highest maintenance part—you'll need to get them trimmed every three to four weeks." As for the perfect face shape, Buckett says this look is for ladies with oval and heart shaped faces.
"Apply a serum for shine and to give it a glassy look," Buckett says. "Then flatiron the ends to really smooth it out."

JOE Hughes says that his showdown with Paul Archer in Liverpool tomorrow night will be a 'make or break' moment in his career.
The 22-year-old light-welterweight takes on unbeaten Durham fighter Archer at the Aintree Equestrian Centre, on the undercard of David Price's televised British and Commonwealth heavyweight title defence against Matt Skelton.
Hughes, who was signed by Frank Maloney in 2010, is looking to begin challenging for titles but a six month spell on the sidelines through injury, coupled by a first professional loss at the hands of Joe Elfidh in March, meant that the Malmesbury man has had to bide his time.
And Hughes thinks that victory over the highly-rated Archer (6-0) would allow him to take his fight career to the next level in 2013.
"It's definitely going to be the toughest fight I've had and it's definitely make or break," said the Wiltshire fighter, who has won six of his seven pro bouts so far.
"If I win, then I can start looking at trying to challenge for titles next year but, if I don't, then I'm pretty much right back to where I started and I'll have to build myself up all over again.
"You always get nervous before fights and I have been feeling that way before this one but I'm also feeling sharp and fit.
"He's a skilful fighter and he's good on the back foot.
"He's tall and rangey and not so much of a knockout merchant, so it's going to be one for the purists."
Hughes, who trains at Paddy John's Gym in Bristol under Andy O'Kane, was last in action in October when he beat Mark McCray on points in Swindon and is glad that his break from the ring has been short-lived.
"It's nice to have another fight so close to the last one because in the past, the breaks have been too long," he said.
"Sometimes that has been down to things out of my control but it's definitely a good thing because it means you're not stepping into a fight with ring rust."

Willie Randolph began the night saying he's not concerned about Oliver Perez. He ended it by saying he's still in the rotation.
<img src="http://mets.lohudblogs.com/files/2008/04/images.jpeg" align="right" height="132″ width="133″ />
Perez cut the walks tonight, but gave up three homers to the Dodgers. I've been calling him heads-or-tails for almost two years now, but more often than not he's landing on his tail.
IN A NUTSHELL (LA 5, Mets 1)
Perez gives up three hits; the Mets leave a four runners in scoring position in the first four innings.
Randolph on Perez: "He's in my rotation and will stay there until we deem that we have to make a change.''
Perez on the homers:  "I did everything I can. It happens. Sometimes I make mistakes and they hit it.''
Moises Alou on missed opportunities: "It was one of those games where we had opportunities. But, we didn't come up with the key hit. If we could've come up with some clutch hits it could have been a different game.''
1st INNING: Nice start by OP. LA 2, Mets 0.
3rd INNING: Can't anybody here hit with RISP?
5th INNING: Perez keeping the walks down. The home runs are another matter. LA 5, Mets 0.
9th INNING: I am so glad this is over. LA 5, Mets 1.

The global dairy landscape is undergoing a period of enormous change as new supply patterns have emerged; concerns over supply security and product integrity have come to the surface and high, volatile pricing continues to be a major issue for the industry.
However, as Bill Cordingley, Rabobank, points out, where there is a crisis in the dairy market, there is also opportunity.
"What we are seeing the industry go through is a real transition to saying 'how do we get the milk that is being produced to the mouths that want it and need it?'" Cordingley said. "Do we do it locally? Do we do it in the places that have traditionally been very effective at dairy production? Or do we do a combination? I think that is probably where the answer lies."
Cordingley, who serves as the head of food and agribusiness research and advisory in North and South America for Rabobank International, gave his outlook recently at Alltech's Global 500 convention for beef and dairy producers in Dublin, Ireland.
1. Divergence in supply and demand
Large milk-producing markets such as the European Union and North America Free Trade Area are currently experiencing a slow growth phase, while emerging markets such as India, Africa and China are in a high growth phase.
"We have a structural issue of where it is grown, where it is effectively grown and where it needs to be as an end product," Cordingley said. "We are seeing a divergence in demand and supply outlook in each of these regions that creates that volatility and difficulty that puts 300 farmers out of business in California this year, but leaves China drastically short of milk at the same time."
Cordingley said this demonstrates the industry's complex task to get milk from where it is produced to where it's consumed in the right form and in a safe way.
The challenge that dairy-surplus countries must face: Are they producing a product that the dairy-deficit areas need? Do they have the interest in export markets? The answer may be "yes," but do they have the infrastructure to export to these markets?
2. Supply chain response
As dairy producers rush to secure feed, accumulate land for feed production in intensive farming regions and divest into cross-border transactions, processors and traders are building farms or aligning with them.
One example of this is Almarai, Saudi Arabia's largest food producer, that acquired Fondomonte SA, a company that owns and operates three farms in Argentina, for $83 million in 2011, with the ultimate goal to expand their supply chain and access to feed for its dairy herd and poultry business.
"We are seeing producers move downstream and others are contemplating it," Cordingley said.
3. Implications for large-scale producers
According to Cordingley, large-scale producers are well-placed to harness the opportunities as they are able to work with banks on long-term plans and structured pricing solutions, compete on risk management and invest in offshore prospects. However, these large-scale farmers also need to have a view beyond the farm gate out into the marketplace.
"If I'm a farmer, should I double down here or invest somewhere else? Where in the world do I want to do dairying?" Cordingley questioned the audience. "The growth here is in the developing world. In the end, trade is not the solution. It's not the full solution. Local production will be the longer-term solution."
While growth is important for sustainable business development, growth won't necessarily be in Australia or the Midwestern United States, but will be in developing economies.
"The question is how do you bring your know-how, skills, and technology to take advantage of that in a way that doesn't blow up the farm, metaphorically speaking?" Cordingley said. "It's difficult, but it's an opportunity and it's there."

I used Steve' Memphis Dry Rub. Had to spend $30 on all the spices that I didn't have!
Let the rub sit on them over night, and had them on the grill by ten. I'm using a horizontal barrel smoker, so I built the fire in the side box using Kingsford & apple wood. Kept the temperature at 225 for 5 hours. All the small pieces (the parts that were cut off the ribs) were done at about 3 hours. The four racks didn't have the 1/4" shrinkage that Steve had talked about, but I didn't want to ruin them so I took them off the grill. They were cooked through and tasted GREAT, but didn't have that "fall off the bone" texture. Well that didn't please the wife much. So we wrapped the ribs in foil and put them in the oven at 220 for 2 1/2 hours and that made all the difference in the world! Not sure if this has ever happened to any of you, so let me know if I had done something wrong.

Rochas Fall 2011
Marko Zanini saw his Rochas collection as "an attempt to make chic exciting again, and simplicity interesting." And so, following some earlier explorations into the folkloric side of his Swedish roots, and the lingerie femininity of the house's legacy, this season Zanini went back to redefining the basics of elegance, and he did so with extreme subtlety and nuance.
Apparently, he had searched for pictures of "chic" and was appalled at the thoroughly un-chic images that loomed before him. So Zanini thought about what that concept might mean for today; for him it meant bringing navy back. It meant a perfect coral double-face balmacaan. It meant a jacket with buttons placed so that it could close as though you had wrapped it to hug the body against the cold. It meant a navy and black matelot sweater worn with glossy black python opera gloves and a Middleton-length charcoal-colored pleated damask skirt—although New Chic day lengths could also graze the calf—or even the ankle.
Hair was sleeked into a perfect French pleat, or hidden under the Karakul hats of the type often worn by Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai. (That Persian lamb also appeared in a classic pump whose modest heel height looked suddenly right.) Zanini's Mittel Europa passions were sublimated to knit headcovers shaped like a headscarf, and a subtle Bucol weave with a pattern of cherries and little elfin children, whilst his interest in underwear as outerwear was limited to the satin bodices gathered like 1920s brassieres.
And Zanini's evening dresses (worn with flat Persian lamb slides) looked like excitingly modern propositions for today's red carpet—whether a flowing drift of girdle-pink slipper satin, or a Watteau-backed ebony damask dress with the conventional stuffing knocked out of it, which against all odds still managed to look understated.
It was all, in a word, chic.

Utah's "Little Hollywood," the home of "Gunsmoke" and the "Lone Ranger," is waging a modern-day showdown against a California energy company. Residents in Kanab are fighting to keep Viresco Energy from building an experimental coal gasification plant inside their little town.
Businesses in Kanab don't want this proposed energy project because it may harm tourism and real estate. Families are concerned about the dangers of polluted air and water.
Over the past two years, the Taxpayer Association of Kane County has filed three appeals and two lawsuits to stop the project. The Utah 6th District Court will start hearing the next lawsuit later this month.

Providing a dowry upon the marriage of a daughter may not be a tradition in the U.S., but a lot of prospective grooms might wish it were after hearing about this particular wedding gift.
Chinese businessman Wu Duanbiao, chairman of a ceramics firm, gave his daughter and her new husband a dowry worth close to $150 million, according to the South China Morning Post. The booty included two cars, millions of dollars in cash, four boxes of gold jewelry, stock in the family business, property and donations in their names to local charities.
What makes the dowry even more stunning is that the groom earns approximately $24,000 per year. There's no doubt his lifestyle will change dramatically.
Dowries are traditional in China, especially in Fujian province, where the couple lives. They are meant to guarantee that the bride will be treated well by her new husband and his family. With this much wealth, it seems that at least the bride's financial happiness is secured.

Beauty Road Test: Physicians Formula Aging Wrinkle Filler & Deep Moisture Repair
We all need a moisturizer that instantly makes your skin softer and clearer without breaking the bank.
-PJ Gach
I dunno, I've always been lucky with my skin. I can stay up all night, live on three hours of sleep, live on caffeine, eat poorly, yet my skin's always looked clear and glowed. Then in September, it turned around and smacked me in the head.
I'm not sure what happened. I woke up one day and my skin felt dry. Like when I touched my cheek, I got scared–that type of dry. Was it getting even for years of abuse? I even started getting comments on how "tired" my skin looked. Not the thing you want to hear, right? I had gotten a jar of Physicians Formula Aging Wrinkle Filler & Deep Moisture Repair ($21.95 srp, stores nationwide) not too long ago and thought that I might be too young to hit the deep moisture repair pool yet. However, after the comments and the way my skin felt, I figured I ought to dive in. Physicians Formula feels that this product is a safer, healthier and way less expensive alternative to injectible fillers for your face.

The first day I tried it, my skin responded instantly. It became softer in seconds. The light purple cream sinks into your skin in about 30 seconds, without a greasy residue. After a week of using it twice a day, my skin started to bounce back. There was a day or two that I forgot to use it, nothing adverse happened. In other words, my skin didn't go from healthy to awful. I started getting compliments on my skin again (phew).
I've been using it for two weeks. According to a study on the product by Physicians Formula, 100 percent of women used it saw and immediate change — their skin became softer and more supple. After two weeks, 96 percent saw less fine lines and wrinkles and 87 percent said they felt their skin looked younger. Four weeks after using it, the women who were in the study had 100 percent change in their skin, 100 percent of them had skin that looked firmer. 83 percent saw wrinkle filling effect in four weeks.
I'm at the two week mark, I haven't noticed any fine lines leaving, but my skin looks great. So great that I can go back to just using concealer and powder or concealer and a light BB cream instead of a foundation and tons of other products. Whew!

Baltimore County Police are looking for information about the recent theft of the historic wrought iron gates at the entrance of Battle Acre Park in the 3100 block of North Point Road, Precinct 12/North Point.
Police responded at about noon today to the park for a report of a theft. The project manager for restoration of the park told police that the two gates for the park entrance were inside the property on June 25 - the last time he was at the park. A contractor discovered the gates missing on June 30.
The gates are worth $2000 each and are 100 years old. The thieves only took the smaller pedestrian gates and not the larger gates.
Neighbors interviewed by police said they did not see anyone taking the gates.
Officers have provided local scrap metal firms with a photo of the gates and asked them to notify police if the gates are found.
Battle Acre park is part of the field on which the Battle of Northpoint was fought in 1814. This was the day before the Battle of Baltimore during which the Star Spangled Banner was written. The land was deeded to the State of Maryland in 1839. The fences and gates were added in 1914.
Anyone with information about this crime should contact police at 410-307-2020.

Did you know?
Xhosa dance music is often polyphonic, with two or more voice parts, beginning at different points in the cycle and often overlapping extensively.
Mgwali Village in the Eastern Cape is a typical Xhosa cultural village. Visitors are invited to experience various aspects of Xhosa culture, including traditional food, social rituals and the role of Xhosa art and craft in shaping identity.
When you arrive, your tour guide will walk you through the village and introduce you to its residents. You will be invited into people's homes, where you can participate in daily rituals, such as preparing a meal or seeing how traditional Xhosa beer is made, before sharing it with the residents. You will also visit a traditional healer or 'sangoma', and meet the village pipe makers.
Xhosa pipes are highly sought after. Pipe-makers use locally grown wood and, when people are gathered in a group, it is customary to pass a pipe around for everyone to smoke. The significance of pipes in Xhosa society can be illustrated by the metaphor used when someone dies − Wayibeka Inqawa − 'He has laid down his pipe'.
The market place is at the heart of the village. Here, you can watch local crafters practising skills that have been passed down through generations. Along with their pipes, the Xhosa are famous for other South African arts and crafts, like their brightly coloured clothing and textiles, beadwork and music.
During the course of your visit, you will be able to enjoy some traditional songs and dancing. Look out for 'ithumbu', a bead necklace worn by dancers or 'iqoqo', a decorative, beaded band worn around the lower back when dancing.
You will also see first-hand how beading and weaving are used in elaborate outfits in bright colours worn by Xhosa women. These are typically adorned with braiding and beads over a skirt and, along with a colourful headdress, show the stages of a woman's life.
Before your tour is over, you are welcome to join the bustle of villagers selling and swapping their goods at the market. You can buy local craft work and meet the artists and craftsmen. Look out for objects made from wood and natural clays, such as cooking pots, traditional Xhosa village mats and baskets made from reeds and grass.

"A Really Good Guy": Fox Hypes Former Employee's Candidacy
Fox News hyped the candidacy of its former contributor Pete Snyder, calling him "a really good guy."
On May 17, the Virginia Republican Convention began. Over the course of the weekend, Virginia Republicans -- as described [1] by a May 17 Washington Post article -- are gathering "to pick nominees for lieutenant governor and attorney general, and rally behind Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II for governor."
One of the candidates for lieutenant governor is Snyder, a former Fox News contributor [2], whose campaign website [3] -- as of May 18 -- features that fact in a front page box. The box links to a page [4] that details Snyder's experience at Fox and includes a laudatory quotation from Fox News chairman Roger Ailes:
On the May 18 edition of Fox & Friends Saturday, co-host Tucker Carlson hyped the candidacy of Snyder, trumpeting his chances of winning and calling him "a really good guy." Co-host Alisyn Camerota praised Carlson's "shout out":
CARLSON: I want to say good morning to our old friend Pete Snyder. You may remember, Pete was a Fox News contributor for quite a while. And I just wanted to note, today in the Commonwealth of Virginia is the Republican Party's meeting where the nominee for lieutenant governor will be chosen. Pete is in the running. It looks pretty good for him. It's just neat when people you know and like sort of ascend up the ladder politically. This man could be the lieutenant governor of Virginia and when he is, I'm calling him for dinner.
CARLSON: A good guy. Pete Snyder is a really good guy.
CAMEROTA: That's great
CARLSON: It's just nice to see that.
CAMEROTA: Nice shout out.
Snyder is not the first former Fox contributor to receive on air campaign aid. Indeed, former Fox contributor John Kasich, the Republican governor of Ohio, received [5] on air support from Fox host Sean Hannity after he announced his intention to run for governor.
Additionally, Snyder is not the first former Fox contributor to highlight their involvement with the network on the campaign trail. In 2010, after leaving Fox News as a contributor when her contract expired, Angela McGlowan regularly touted [6] her former Fox employment while pursuing a Republican primary bid in a Mississippi congressional race. McGlowan, who lost the bid, is once again a Fox News contributor.
Former Fox contributors Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum also attempted to jump back into elected office from Fox, both engaging in failed bids for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. Gingrich and Santorum expressed [7] dissatisfaction with the Fox News coverage they received.

On Tuesday, March 9th, you'll be able to pick up the April issue of Official Xbox Magazine (US), featuring an 8-page cover story on the game. In addition to the article, written by Ryan McCaffrey, the included Xbox Game Disc includes exclusive Fallout: New Vegas Gamer Pics.
Reader Comments
FINALLY!!! I AM GETTING THIS ONE!! Will this one have new info? or will it just be a duplicate of all the other mags? Cant wait for the gamerpics!!!
I'm looking forward to picking up a copy of this!
This is such a big deal. New Vegas is on the cover, and Halo:Reach is on a banner! I'm really looking forward to New Vegas…
Nice frontal shot with the menacing face and sword like wielding of Death's gun.
Thank you for more art 😀
Cute that you still think that a lot of people actually get most of their gaming information from magazines. Perhaps the fact that they are scanned onto the internet just as soon as they are available might tell you something about where most of the readership is. Oh well, I suppose the online sites will be getting their previews a little later on anyway.
Aaaaw, why didn't the UK version of OXM get Gamerpics?
Can you get this in Canada?
I'm getting this issue. After Fallout 3, I am not passing learning about EVERYTHING POSSIBLE about a Fallout game.
got my copy in the mail today. found it more informative than the playstation article. yes, it includes 3 gamer pics on the disc. im really excited about the changes theyre making to the gameplay and also glad how much is staying the same. i really cannot wait for this game to arrive. already pre ordered from amazon!
Did anyone preorder it last year? I finally remembered to preorder RAGE in January after preordering New Vegas at Gamestop. I cant wait to play both games!! Any new info in the article? Or is it the same stuff from the UK version?
Fallout New Vegas and Red Dead Redemption are going to be contenders for game of the year.
Sexytimes! Very nice. Power Armor *cough* Xbox Live Avatars *cough*
This going to be another need to bye expansioon pack or so it looks!
Iv never been this excited for a game FALLOUT is the best game iv ever played

Police say burglary suspects posed as city workers
Updated 11:46 pm, Friday, December 20, 2013
SAN ANTONIO — Two alleged burglars accused of posing as city employees to fool their unsuspecting victims were arrested this week.
Michelle Yonko, 42, and Danny Leo Sr., 38, are accused of burglarizing numerous homes in San Antonio under the guise of being city employees.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Yonko approached an elderly man's home Dec. 8 wearing a hard hat and reflective vest carrying a clipboard.
The report says she told the man she worked for the city and needed to take some measurements in his backyard.
She also tried to get the man's wife to come outside, but she stayed indoors because she was sick.
News Channel
While she was distracting the man in the backyard, two men identified in the affidavit as Leo Sr. and his son Danny Leo Jr. entered the man's home through the garage and stole a hard hat, according to the affidavit. When the men saw the woman inside the house, they immediately left.
The affidavit said the accused matched the description of burglars suspected in numerous robberies across the city.
Yonko and Leo Sr. were charged with engaging in a criminal enterprise and burglary.

Charitable Giving
- Charitable giving
If you leave money to a charity, you'll gain personal satisfaction--and your gift may reduce the amount of taxes your estate may owe. You can name a charity as a beneficiary in your will. You can also name a charity as a beneficiary of your individual retirement account (IRA) or employer-sponsored retirement plan. If you're wealthy, you might consider establishing a charitable trust. Or, you can make charitable gifts outright during your lifetime, enabling you to receive a current income tax deduction as well as minimize potential estate taxes by removing the donated assets from your taxable estate.
- Charitable Giving
Today more than ever, charitable institutions stand to benefit as the first wave of the baby boomers reach the stage where they're able to make significant charitable gifts. And though writing a check at year-end is one of the most common ways to give to charity, planned giving may be even more effective.
- Gift Tax Strategies
Now may be a great time to make gifts that take advantage of the current large gift tax applicable exclusion amount, low gift tax rates, depressed property values, and low interest rates. The first gifts you consider should generally be annual exclusion and qualified transfer gifts.

Which is Healthier: Burger vs. Hot Dogby Toby Amidor in Healthy Tips, July 5, 2011
In this new series, we're pitting some of your favorite foods against each other. We're starting out with the hottest fight of the barbecue season: burger verses hot dog. Who's the winner of this battle?
Burgers aren't about ground beef anymore. Although you can make a killer burger from 90 to 95% lean ground beef, burger alternatives like turkey, bison, ostrich, and fish are delicious too. These leaner choices provide tons of protein, iron and energy boosting B-vitamins.
It's easy to rack up the calories with huge burger patties, tons of cheese and other fatty toppings, mayo and other calorie-laden condiments and huge buns. Ground beef and other ground up proteins are also at higher risk for food bugs like E. Coli.
Healthy Burger Tips:
- Opt for leaner meats like 90 to 95 percent lean ground beef, bison, or turkey breast. If lighter options aren't available, then mind your portions (aim for 3 to 4 ounce patties).
- Pile burger high with veggies like fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions.
- Be mindful of sauces—use 1 to 2 tablespoons to control portions.
- Choose high fat toppers like cheese, mayo, avocado and fried onions sparingly.
- More ways to lighten up burgers
- Healthy burger recipes
Hot Dog
Hot dogs aren't only an adult favorite, kids love them too. I always know I can get my kids to eat a ho tdog when we head out to a barbecue. The calories aren't out of control — a regular sized (1.6 ounce) hot dog with a touch of ketchup, mustard and a bun only has a few hundred calories.
These bad boys are highly processed and most brands contain nitrites. Most folks don't stop at just one—they eat 2 or 3 hotdogs at one sitting—not to mention the mayonnaise-laden sides and other barbecue goodies that get gobbled up too.
Hot dogs have also been linked to the bacteria Listeria Monocytogenes, shown to effect the very young and old.
Healthy Hot Dog Tips:
- A variety of hot dogs are available such as nitrate-free or reduced fat.
- If you need a second dog, hold back on the bun or the mayonnaise-filled side salads.
- Sauerkraut is a low calorie topping for hot dogs that can help fill you up, though it's high in sodium.
YOU VOTE: Who's the winner? Burger or hot dog?

Windows Explorer Gets Ribbon Interface in Windows 8by Andrew Cunningham on 8/29/2011 2:35 PM EST

Back to Article
kmmatney - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkThe ribbon interface + widescreens with low vertical resolution = suck
And I'm sure this will be forced on you, without an option for smaller toolbars. I guess you can turn off the ribbon altogether, though. Reply
qiankun - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linksee the little arrow beneath the close button? it will hide the ribbon all together until you click on one of the tab titles Reply
MonkeyPaw - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkYeah, they act sorta like menues still, they are just really wide now instead of tall. I believe if you double click on the heading, they stay visible/hide until you click them. Sorta steep learning curve, but if they enforce consistency, I could see future users having no issues picking them up. Reply
RandyN - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkYou can always use Ctrl + F1 to hide the ribbon in any MS app. Reply
Eidorian - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkIt was may concern as well. Using data gathered from usage statistics they learned that the paltry resolution of 1366 x 768 was becoming the standard. For Windows 8 they built Explorer on the expectation of wider screens and low vertical resolutions. The Ribbon is also collapsible. My suggestion is to read the blog link and watch the video. It starts to feel much more natural and they're bringing back some XP level customization.
It is really interesting how they are integrating their usage statistics for the masses and really trying to cater to the power users as well. You will be at home in the Ribbon or with keyboard shortcuts. Reply
S.D.Leary - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkThe problem is not the fact that the ribbon can or cannot be hidden, its the fact that the default resolutions have killed vertical real estate. Even if the ribbon can be hidden, when its out, it kills the vertical space, or will probably overlay whats on the screen, reducing the actual amount of work that you can do with it open.
If MS was smart, they would take the opportunity to place the ribbon vertically, by default on the left side of the screen (though moveable). This would take a little work on their part to make it look right, but it would allow the vertical to be used for the open document.
SDLeary Reply
Eidorian - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkTalk to the hardware makers on their 16:9 binge. I can manage with 1280 x 800 on my Core 2 notebook. I have 1920 x 1200 on my desk. Reply
S.D.Leary - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkI can understand their binge. By utilizing only one aspect ratio they can choose to use common size substrates (master "glass" sheets) if they want. I don't know that they do, but thats one of their arguments.
SDLeary Reply
Eidorian - Monday, August 29, 2011 - link16:9 is the new panel ratio. It works for TV and computer displays. I can understand where manufacturers and hardware vendors are coming from for the sake of production simplicity.
I still prefer 16:10 though. I hope to get 1600 x 900 in my next notebook. Not my preferred but still an improvement over 1280 x 800. Reply
sigmatau - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkYes, yes, it is saving them tons of money and forcing the consumer to take a step back in terms of what they are getting for their money. Imagine standard tube tvs replacing HD LCD tvs. Almost the same to me.
Answer this.... why did they go with glossy vs matte?
Even a more bizzare question: why are almost all computer monitors where you can control the enviromental lighting to prevent reflections made with matte screens while laptops are used in so many places where you can't control the lighting? Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkGlossy is marginally brighter than matte; and in excessively overlit areas (ie 99% of boxmarts) brightness is the single biggest determiner in how good a screen looks. Reply
tayb - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkSo you prefer covering up information via a dropdown as opposed to just pushing the information down, while still visible, by expanding the ribbon? Oh the horror. Reply
B3an - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkWhy dont you read the MS blog post before commenting?? This is the whole purpose of these posts, to inform people like yourself that always moan about things they know nothing about and then assume stuff that isnt true.
MS have removed the "details" pane at the bottom of explorer. So even with the ribbon open you still have the same vertical space to view files. Infact you have slightly MORE space, you can fit two more file lines in. With the ribbon collapsed you get way more vertical space.
The details pane has been moved to the right and is now vertical. In many screenshots the details pane does not appear though, so i suspect it disappears when the ribbon is opened or or something else. Either way it will nicely fill the big empty white space to the right side of Explorer that appears on widescreens. Things have been clearly improved. Reply
Arnulf - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkIf customers were smart they never would have jumped on the widescreen bandwagon, the fad would simply die and you'd still have comparatively larger real estate screens today.
It has become a real pain to find a 4:3 (or 5:4) monitor as of lately :( Reply
UMADBRO - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - link4.3 and 5.4 aspect ratio monitors need to go die in a fire. Widescree or bust! UMAD? Reply
dcollins - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkRead the blog post before complaining. The new explorer actually uses less vertical space than the explorer in Windows 7 (two extra files for the same resolution). They compensated for the extra pixels used by the ribbon by moving the details pane from the bottom of the window to the right. Reply
mino - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkExcept some are comparing to the explorer which they consider the "useable" version - i.e. the NT 5.x one.
As a sidenote, people complaining about vertical estate were most likely not using the details pane in the first place. Reply
sigmatau - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkThis is so dumb (not your comment but the idea that people are being forced to use 1366 x768). I really can't believe how horrible this has become. I have to read service manuals with a laptop on the field and it is a complete nightmare.
You know what's really crazy? Lenovo did a survey about 3 years ago about what screen their customers wanted; matte or glossy. Guess which one got 86% of the vote? It sure in hell wasn't the glossy POS. 8% voted for glossy while the remaining 6% didn't care.
So how in the world did we go from 86%+ not wanting a glossy crap screen to Lenovo not offering one matte screen in their consumer lineup?
Cost anyone? Reply
MrSpadge - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkWhy we've got glossy:
1. Consumers buy it.
2. With glossy manufacturers can extract somewhat saturated colors from cheaper panels - cost down. Reply
sigmatau - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkOK, so what are the reason to have a glossy screen? You haven't said anything I haven't already: it all has to do with saving the cheap ass manufacturer some pennies. Reply
tayb - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkWhine less. Press the little arrow and it will be minimized until you need it again just like how it is implemented everywhere else. Sorry you are stuck in 2001 and addicted to dropdown menus. The rest of us appreciate the highly customizable and easily accessed ribbon.
The only thing I wish I saw but I don't was tabbed explorer windows. It's so outdated to have to open an entire new explorer window when it could and should be a tab. Reply
frozentundra123456 - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkSorry, I have to disagree with you. I absolutely hate the ribbon interface in Office. And I know from reading a lot of posts on the internet that I am not the only one that feels that way. You know it must be obtuse when Microsoft has to set up a program on their website to direct users of the ribbon where to find commands that used to be clearly visible.
For instance, in Excel 2010, you have to click print, print preview, and then find the little line that says page setup to format a page. With drop down menus, all you had to do was click file, and the page set up command instantly appeared.
This is progress?? I dont see it. And Excel 2007 was even worse. All the major commands were hidden until the clicked the stupid looking circular thing. WHY???
And I am not stuck in 2001. I just do not like change that makes things more complicated to do the same basic commands. And speaking of "easily accessible", how is the ribbon easier than just a drop down menu that displays the command. Microsoft seems to be hung up on making every command be represented by some sort of icon rather than a written command. Reply
Assimilator87 - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkI have something called an adjustable stand, which happened to come with my Dell U2211H, but is sold separately as well. It has this neat feature where you can rotate it. That gives me 1920 pixels of vertical space. I think they call it portrait mode. Reply
cicatriz63 - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkOr you could also learn to use the new menu instead of complaining about things and not having a clue. If you click on Page Layout tab in Excel 2010 you will see a section called *gasp* Page Setup that has nearly every single option in the Page Setup dialog, at the top of the page instead of in dialog box obstructing your view of the document. And if the option you want isn't listed there then you click the little arrow in the bottom right of the section and the actual Page Setup dialog will open.
So how is clicking File-Page setup faster than clicking on Page Layout and then the option you want again?
And when the Ribbon is minimized it actually takes up LESS vertical space then a standard menu that if you click is expanded down 700 pixels with 100 different menu items. Reply
mino - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkSimple, at the time of O2003 and OOO1, I thought: thank god for o2003 compared to that starcrap mess.
Scroll further 5 yrs: Thank god for that LO 3.4 barely-office97-class-useable for saving me from that o2007/2010 abomination.
I have tried, really tried to use o2007+, there are great many features I miss on LO.
BUT, they are just not worth consistently warring the market-leading productivity eliminator from MS: The Ribbon.
Hell, even Lotus Notes is more useable, had it not crashe more often than Opera 5 on 2010 flash :D Reply

hotnikkelz - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkThe vertical space here is SMALLER than the vertical space in current windows 7. I suggest you read the following for more details.

B3an - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkWhat? I suggest you READ that post. If you cant do that properly then they even have a picture to show you that Win 8 has more vertical space than Win 7. Reply
snarfbot - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkit looks really messy. why not it call it file manager instead? because thats what it resembles, win 3.1 file manager. Reply
mino - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkDo not insult Windows 3.1 file manager.

fhaddad78 - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkDon't bicker and complain about it until you see it in full effect in Windows 8. Microsoft is not a stupid company, they are aware of default resolutions and aspect ratios and it's all being considered. The final product will be sweet. Microsoft has done a 180 in terms of what they are producing. Reply
prophet001 - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkI agree that we should wait and see.
However, Microsoft not a stupid company? One word... Vista Reply
B3an - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkNothing was that wrong with Vista, dont be such a sheep. It was the companies that made drivers and software for Vista that caused all the major problems, and manufacturers installing Vista on poor hardware. Then theres Nvidias drivers that constantly crashed for the first 6 months. Reply
PhoenixEnigma - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkDisagree. I use Vista, XP, and Win7 on a daily basis, and despite Vista being on the best hardware stability-wise (ThinkPad), seeing less intensive use, and having fewer programs installed, it is less stable (and more annoying to work with) than the other two combined.
Vista was a flop - MS seems to nail good OS's every other time (98->XP-7), so it's nothing new, and I'd not be surprised to see Win8 continue the pattern. Reply
SmCaudata - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkThere are some really nice features that I feel most users here will use. You can minimize the ribbon and then add any shortcut you want to a Quick Access Toolbar. This acts a lot like the quick launch icons on the start bar now. They don't have text and are small.
For me this means that I will continues to use shortcut keys and context menus for 99% of my explorer needs. Then when I need to do things like email a file I can have a quick access button since I will always forget that shortcut key.
I'm looking forward to this. Reply
ComputerNovice22 - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkTruthfully I have always hated and probably always will hate the "ribbon" interface... I tried getting used to it when I first started using office 2007 at work and I hated it then and I still currently hate it. Using it on a system that is set to a lower resolution totally SUCKS... Reply
Azsen - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkIf anything the menu down the left is a complete waste of time for me. Who seriously stores their files in Libraries -> Documents/Videos/Pictures etc? Some of us probably have massive secondary hard drives and store them in D:\Stuff\Movies etc. I hate how Windows always thinks you should store your important stuff on the C drive in their special directories. I've learned since Windows XP never to put your files there in case your Windows partition gets corrupted and you have to format over it. If you could easily customise that menu down the left that would be great, but I don't know how without some registry hacking I guess. Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkYou can add your own directories to the libraries y'know... Reply
MarcLeFou - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - linkAnd you can even change the default location of the documents/music/video folders to another HDD ... Reply
B3an - Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - link99% of people that complain about things in Windows Vista/7 are always idiots. Nearly all the time, as demonstrated above, the problem can easily be resolved. Infact in most cases it's clearly improved but the user often dont even try and look in to getting around a problem before complaining. Reply
Azsen - Monday, August 29, 2011 - linkThe favourites icon is also a waste of time, who still uses Internet Explorer? If you could customise it to look at Firefox or Chrome bookmarks maybe it would be handy, but I think it could be removed altogether. Reply
Hector2 - Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - linkIf you don't like the ribbon, just right-click on it and minimize it -- it'll stay minimized. Overall, it's a plus anyway. Move on and complain about something worthwhile. Reply

TV blocks/reboots/does not respond to RC/cannot change channels (SCC_96273).
Overview of model numbers and SW ID: Q554x_SW_ID.xls
An upgrade of the Stand-by software is needed to counter issues like:
- Picture freezes.
- No response to remote control commands.
- TV set sometime switching off by itself and rebooting.
- Not able to change channels.
Upgrade the Stand-by software of the TV to version 184.108.40.206 (or higher).
There are two upgrade methods: via USB stick or via Remote Service. See instructions below.
Before you start, ensure that you have the following:
• A USB flash drive (= stick) with at least 100MB of free space (note: do not use a USB hard disk drive for a software update).
• A file compression application (the latest version of WinZip® is recommended).
Note: This procedure assumes that you use a Microsoft® Windows® PC with the latest version of WinZip installed.
Step 1. First, check the Main TV software:
- Be sure to have the latest Main TV SW loaded: v0.96.0.0 (or higher). If okay, proceed with Step 2.
- If not okay, download the file from the Philips support website and follow the given instructions.
When ready, go to Step 2.
Step 2. Upgrade Stand-by software:
- The upgrade file is attached: select and download the "StandbySW_Q554x_22.214.171.124.zip" file (the "x" is model dependent: M is for M/08 sets, the rest uses E).
- Insert the empty USB flash drive into a USB connector on your PC.
- On your PC, create a folder named "upgrades' in the root directory of the USB flash drive.
- Extract the UPG-file to the "upgrades" folder on the USB flash drive (do not place in the root dir).
- Using the archive utility, extract the UPG-file to the "upgrades" folder on the USB flash drive.
- Safely remove the USB flash drive from the PC.
- Remove all USB devices (such as Wi-Fi adaptor) from the TV, then switch ON the TV.
- Connect the USB flash drive to a USB connector on the TV.
- Press the Home/Menu button, and select [Setup] > [Software settings] > [Local updates].
- Select the correct UPG file and press OK.
- A prompt appears, select [Continue], then press OK.
- The software upgrade starts automatically.
- The upgrade is complete when a notification message appears on screen.
- Remove the USB flash drive from the TV.
- You need to disconnect the power cable from the power outlet. Wait one minute then reconnect it. After that you can start your TV in the usual way.
- or-
Remote Service
An RS fix will be made available that will enable an upgrade of the Stdby SW via IP. This must be scheduled via the callcenter. (#)
- (*) Files are attached.
- (#) Only applicable to IP-connected sets and in countries where the "Remote Service" feature is rolled out (currently only Nordic, DACh, and BeNeLux).
- Caution: Do not switch "off" the TV or remove the USB flash drive during the software update!
- If an error occurs during the update, retry the procedure. If the error re-occurs, contact Philips Consumer Care.

The wind and heavy rain caused more problems for teams from the Trowbridge Windows & Conservatories, Trowbridge & District League which for a ninth successive Saturday saw a decimated fixture programme with just one match from the scheduled surviving the elements.
The Wiltshire Junior Cup matches featuring White Horse and Freshford against respective opponents Old Town United and Fratello's were postponed for a third successive week.
However Freshford, who had offered to stage their game with Fratello's, were in action as they hosted a quickly-rescheduled game with Castle Combe to save the league from a total wash out.
Division One leaders Freshford carried out three pitch inspections and worked on their Brown's Park surface to ensure the game would go ahead.
Both manager Chris Birleson and groundsman Andy Backman were rewarded for their efforts in getting the game played as a tenth win of the season saw them open up a five-point gap over closest challengers North Bradley.
However their 3-2 win was a nail biter as Paul Sanderson's Combe side almost snatched a draw, after the hosts had opened up a 3-0 lead.
Freshford, who had won the reverse fixture 6-3 back in October, took the game by the scruff of the neck and looked to be in total command after the first 45 minutes as goals from Chris Maskrey, Ricky Trott who both scored from set pieces and Mark Gerrish, who scored from the penalty spot, had given them their lead.
The second period saw a complete turnaround in things as Freshford who were excellent in the first half were very poor, but that was to take nothing away from Castle Combe who staged a spirited fightback as they clawed their way back into the contest which they appeared to be out of at the break.
Carl Dawson got Combe back in the game and Martin Riddell reduced their deficit to the odd goal but some stout defending from the hosts saw them cling on for what in the end was a nervy win for Birleson's side, who will look to raise their game for what hopefully will be their delayed Junior Cup quarter-final tie with Swindon League heavyweights' Fratello's this coming Saturday.

PHILADELPHIA -The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team was able to salvage a 1-1 tie with Yale on Saturday night at Rhodes Field.
Down 1-0, the Quakers were awarded a penalty kick with just 21 seconds left in regulation, and senior Kerry Scalora nailed it home. If you are a Penn fan you loved the call; if you were a Yale fan you were in disbelief. Regardless of which side you were on, it was an admittedly gutsy call given the time left.
The overtimes were much like regulation-- neither team created outstanding chances, but there were moments of drama. Penn's best chance came in the second OT, when a ball crossed from the right side was headed by Tahirih Nesmith at the far post. The angle was low, however, and Yale keeper Elise Wilcox was there waiting for it and easily grabbed it.
With the tie, Penn moved to 10-1-4 on the season, more importantly 3-1-1 in Ivy League play. With only two matches left, the Quakers suddenly need more help if they are going to overcome front-running Harvard (5-0-0 after a 4-0 win over Princeton tonight). Yale is now 7-5-1, 2-2-1 in Ivy play.
In the first half, Penn's first corner kick created a nice chance, as Brianna Rano's ball was headed toward the far post by Nesmith. It looked like Yale's goalie was beaten; however, a Bulldogs defender was on the post and cleared it away.
In the second half, Kalijah Terilli made a superb save, grabbing a ball that looked like it was headed for the upper right corner.
However, in the 76th minute, even Terilli couldn't stop Yale from scoring. Off a corner kick, Melissa Gavin sent a ball into the middle of the box. It bobbled among several players, until suddenly Paula Hagopian was wide open with the ball in front of the goal. She left nothing to chance, shooting it high into the netting.
The goal was just the sixth Penn has allowed this season, and the first in October (a span of 697 minutes).
On this night, it looked like it might be enough. However, with the final seconds winding down the whistle blew amidst a scramble in front of Yale's goal. Then the ref pointed to the spot.
Terilli finished the game with four saves, while Wilcox was credited with nine saves in the Yale goal (many of them routine).
Penn is at Brown next Saturday at 7 p.m.

Here are some April numbers I compiled while I made like Arlen Specter and enjoyed a morning waffle. Look for a more complete list in tomorrow's Inquirer.
· 9: come-from-behind victories.
· .270: the team batting average, up from .255 in 2008.
· .241: leadoff hitter Jimmy Rollins' on-base percentage.
· 7: Home runs by free agent acquisition Raul Ibanez.
· .359: Ibanez's team-leading batting average
· 3: stolen bases by the 36-year-old Ibanez, sharing the team lead with Shane Victorino.
· .254: Pat Burrell's batting average with Tampa Bay. He has one home run.
· 2: Regular chants at Citizens Bank Park that sound like "boo": "Ra-ooool" for Ibanez and "Louuuuuuu" for rookie catcher Lou Marson.
· 8: The major-league leading amount of home runs allowed by Brett Myers.
· 4.83: Myers' team-leading earned run average.
· 0: Wins by Cole Hamels.
· 93: The velocity in miles-per-hour of Hamels' fastball before he sprained his ankle on Tuesday.
As a new Philadelphian, I have two questions for you residents. Having watched Myers for all these years, how concerned are you right now? And, does it bother you that the senator you elected from one party has switched to another, or has the guy earned the right to fight for his re-election?

New funds will be used by a craft brewery to spruce up its image and branding in a bid to expand sales both in the UK and overseas.
WharfeBank Brewery, which operates out of a converted paper mill on the banks of the River Wharfe in Pool-in-Wharfedale, will use £50,000 of funding from business investment body Finance Yorkshire to revitalise its branding to widen the appeal of its beers.
The company is also recruiting an extra sales manager as part of the drive for more business following the recent appointment of award-winning brewer Steve Crump, which will increase the workforce to eight people.
Wharfe BankBrewery, founded in 2010 by Martin Kellaway, is looking to use the new investment to transform the corporate branding and labelling of its pump clips and premium bottled beers to enhance its presence on pub bars and store shelves.
It will also emphasise the craft nature of the business and its Yorkshire provenance.
The brewer plans to roll out its beers to more of the UK's supermarkets as well as investigate opportunities for new sales in Europe and North America.
Its Tether Blond and Yorkshire IPA beers are now stocked in around 50 Tesco and Sainsbury's stores across Yorkshire and taking part in European and American food and drink fairs has proved a success for the business.
WharfeBank initially only brewed cask ale for pubs, but began producing premium bottled beers and craft keg ales to keep up with consumer demand.
Mr Kellaway said: "We knew Finance Yorkshire had invested in other breweries, and heard positive feedback that they had been supportive and quick to respond, so we got in touch.
"The process was simple to follow and fast to conclude."
Finance Yorkshire investment manager Karl Hodson said: "Finance Yorkshire offers gap funding to fast-growing companies like Wharfe Bank Brewery that need investment so they can keep up with demand.
"WharfeBank Brewery has experienced an impressive first three years in trading, and it is an exciting time to be involved. The brewery has compelling plans to expand into the European and North American markets, and strong forecasts."
WharfeBank Brewery was among several local food and drink companies whose produce featured at a showcase recently held at the British Embassy in Brussels, hosted by the British Ambassador to Belgium, Jonathan Brenton, before Christmas.
The brewery also launched a new range of beers in Germany in 2013 at a major trade show in Cologne. WharfeBank had been invited to take part in the fair, which was attended by 460 drink exhibitors, by export support body UK Trade & Investment.
Finance Yorkshire provides a range of loans and investments from £15,000 to £2 million, to help small and medium-sized businesses meet the gaps in the market for funding to boost growth.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/6/2013 (1516 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK -- Watching a National Hockey League GM at work on draft day is a bit like taking in a juggling act at the carnival. A juggling act featuring chainsaws... with the juggler blindfolded and walking a high wire.
Yes, there can be a lot going on when 30 NHL GMs gather in one room sporting itchy trigger fingers, with the salary cap dropping and 29 of them -- everybody but Stan Bowman of the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks -- trying to find the missing piece(s) to get their squad into the winner's circle.
Expect Winnipeg Jets' GM Kevin Cheveldayoff to be right in the mix of it all, although he's hardly carved out a reputation as a wheeler-dealer through two years on the job. That said, it was Cheveldayoff himself who spoke of his flexibility earlier in the week -- after all, the Jets have cap room, a number of holes to fill and a swack of picks to possibly package.
All of which should make Sunday's one-day draft extravaganza compelling drama.
Here's our own juggling act of sorts, a multi-faceted handy-dandy guide to the 2013 NHL entry draft:
WHO GOES NO. 1? AND NOS. 2 and 3 AND ....
The 2013 talent pool is being called the deepest and most gifted since the 2003 draft that saw Marc-Andre Fleury, Eric Staal, Nathan Horton, Thomas Vanek, Milan Michalek, Ryan Suter, Dion Phaneuf, Dustin Brown, Brent Seabrook, Zach Parise, Ryan Getzlaf, Mike Richards and Corey Perry all go in the first round.
The Colorado Avalanche have said they'll pluck Halifax Mooseheads forward Nathan MacKinnon first overall, seemingly bumping Portland Winterhawks defenceman Seth Jones -- who grew up in Denver -- out of that perch. MacKinnon's teammate Jonathan Drouin is also in the mix. Many experts believe any one of those three, and possibly Finnish centre Aleksander Barkov, all would have been selected ahead of Nail Yakupov, last year's No. 1 choice overall by Edmonton, had they been in the 2012 draft.
All that elite talent is why so many GMs will be working the phones and the floor through Sunday.
Well, about as legit as any rumour swirling around on the eve of the draft. There's no question the Jets are still bothered by Dustin Byfuglien's fitness issues, but there also seems to be more of an acceptance of who he is -- a difference-maker when he's on, a liability when he's not. But if the team is considering moving him, remember Buff's flaws/strengths are clearly visible to 29 other GMs as well. And there's no escaping this: He's 28, will earn $5.75 million this coming season and can still hammer the puck.
The Alex Burmistrov situation is more mysterious. He's just 21 but has already played close to 200 NHL games. He has been capable defensively, but his offensive production has been mediocre. Cheveldayoff didn't really deny the rumours earlier this week but, predictably, wouldn't offer much on them either.
Have you seen their depth chart? Everything, pretty much. Winnipeg has nine unrestricted free agents and a pile of restricted free agents. Even if Mark Scheifele was to make the club they lack depth at centre, are coveting a top-six forward -- preferably a right-winger -- and could always use more defence. About the only position we would suggest isn't a priority early in the draft is goaltender, as the Jets have three or four legit prospects in Eddie Pasquale, Connor Hellebuyck, Jason Kasdorf and Juho Olkinuora.
A few to keep an eye on as the draft unfolds:
-- Grandview's Ryan Pulock (D, Brandon Wheat Kings) was ranked in the top 10 earlier this year, but according to Central Scouting's final rankings, is now 12th among North American skaters.
