U.S. Senator John McCain is now trying to back away from comments he made that the Colorado River Water Compact should be renegotiated, however, leading democrats in Colorado say they don't believe him. McCain said that he was not advocating renegotiating the 1922 compact in a letter to U.S. Senator Wayne Allard yesterday. McCain said that his recent remarks "may have been mistakenly construed as a call to rescind the Colorado River Compact and commence negotiations for new water allocations". McCain said in the letter that he doesn't advocate renegotiating the compact. Last week, McCain said the compact needs to adjust to new realities of high growth and water supply that is becoming increasingly scarce. McCain's comments created a firestorm in Colorado with democrats and republicans alike denouncing the notion, saying McCain could lose votes over it in Colorado and New Mexico, which have been called possible swing states in this year's presidential bid.
As part of a statewide public input tour, government officials met with members of the public in Monte Vista on Tuesday to accept comments on the draft of Colorado's new "roadless" rules and associated environmental impact statement. The rule covers national forest system lands throughout the state including those in the San Luis Valley and would supercede the national 2001 "roadless" rule for forestlands for Colorado. Colorado is one of only 2 states that are moving ahead with its own "roadless" rule. For some, the proposed new "roadless" rule is not restrictive enough and they would prefer to keep the 2001 rule in place. For others, the new rule would provide more flexibility for ski area access and oil and gas development on the western slope. Comments on the proposed rule and is will be accepted through October 23rd.
The Alamosa School Board has given the district the go-ahead to enter into negotiations with SunEdison to build a 700 to 900 kilowatt photovoltaic solar electric facility just south of Alamosa High School. The idea is to use solar electric to provide power for the high school and middle school in the face of escalating costs of electricity. The proposed plant would be built on six to eight acres of vacant school-owned land that lies south of the high school and would generate 1.4 to 1.8 million kilowatt hours of electricity each year, or 75 to 90% of the high school and middle school's electrical usage. If an agreement is reached with the school district in the next few weeks and design work begins in October, the plant could be operational by June 1st of next year.

The 'Crush' singer is seen a little down and lonely in this music video as he makes his way through the street without any companion.
David Archuleta is going through a long road, wandering on the streets by himself during a hot summer day. Various scenes where people are seen lending a helping hand for those in need are additionally captured in this clip directed by Declan Whitebloom.
"The video and the song are about people who are feeling a little down and a little alone ... and just feeling a little frustrated with love or their situation in life," he said of the video. "Even though you might feel down with love, there's something about it you shouldn't give up on."
David Archuleta will include "Something 'Bout Love" in his new studio album "The Other Side of Down". The album was originally scheduled to make its way out in United States on September 14 but it was pushed back to October 5 because he "would like to make sure he's delivering the best possible album and he needs just a little more time to do it."

This post is to write about the rumours and transfers of the next season: 2012-2013.
Read the news about Arsenal transfers and comment on this post later to argue about it:
Wednesday 23/05/12 Transfer rumour round up (PIECE OF NEWS published by pokeracer)
Is ROBIN VAN PERSIE leaving? Is he staying?
Players who may be ready to go: LUKAS FABIANSKI, MANUEL ALMUNIA...
Players who may be arriving: FERNANDO LLORENTE, YANN M'VILA, JAVI MARTINEZ, OLIVIER GIROUD...
Despite conflicting reports on Thursday, it would appear that Arsenal is out of the running to sign Eden Hazard. It had been claimed earlier in the day, by both the Times and the Daily Star, that Arsenal were still contenders for the in-demand Lille star.
But Hazard, himself, seems to have ruled the Gunners out with his latest quotes on the long-running transfer saga.
"I do not know when a decision will be made about my future club," he said while on international duty with Belgium, according to Sky Sports.
"It will be between Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea.
"The final choice also depends on how much play that I would get and the position where I play.
"Not everyone can say that he can choose from these three clubs."
Arsenal was perhaps the first major club to show an interest in the 21-year-old last summer, but, as the price has increased, the club has long-since ceased to be viewed as serious contenders for his signature.
Boss Arsene Wenger's apparent failure to secure Hazard is likely linked to Goal.com's reports that Arsenal is pursuing Borussia Dortmund's Shinji Kagawa with increased vigor.
The Gunners could face further disappointment, however, with the story claiming that Manchester United have lodged a bid of £13.6 million for the attacking midfielder. With Kagawa having recently met with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, United are considered favorites to sign the 23-year-old, who has just a year remaining on his contract with Dortmund.
If reports are to be believed Arsenal could also be set to go head-to-head with United over the signing of Montpellier striker Olivier Giroud. Wenger is thought to be an admirer of the 25-year-old, who was the joint top scorer in Ligue 1 last season with 21 goals.
But, according to Caught Offside, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is also ready to make a move for Giroud. Further speculation about the French international comes from Mercato365, which claims that Roma are also interested, but that the Gunners remain favorites for his signature.
While at this stage reports of United's interest are unsubstantiated, Arsenal would be advised to act quickly with Giroud set to be in the shop window at Euro 2012.
Despite United's interest, Arsenal could still be in the running to sign Crewe prospect Nick Powell. Earlier in the week the Manchester Evening News wrote that United had agreed a deal for the highly-rated 18-year-old and would formally complete an estimated £4 million deal after Crewe's League Two Playoff Final on Sunday.
But, according to Crewe manager Steve Davis, the report was premature.
"At the moment it's just speculation," Davis said, according to TalkSport.
"There has been no solid offer from anybody. Nothing will be happening until Sunday's out of the way. Maybe next week we'll know a little bit more."
Powell, an attacking midfielder, recently scooped a clean sweep at Crewe's end of season awards; wining Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year and Goal of the Season.
Arsenal is also thought to be interested in fellow teenager Foday Nabay. The 13-year-old Sierra Leone-born midfielder is currently on the books of Birmingham and has already represented England at under-16 level.
The Daily Mail reports that Chelsea is also keen on Nobay, along with fellow Premier League giants Manchester United and Manchester City, although Arsenal remains favorites
Spanish news are saying that Arsenal are interested in Fernando Llorente, he plays at Athletic de Bilbao. i really would like this player at Arsenal
Emirates Stadium boss ready to conduct clear-out.
Nicklas Bendtner has confirmed he is in talks about securing a move away from Arsenal this summer.
The Danish striker was sent on a season-long loan to Sunderland and is not part of Arsene Wenger's long-term plans for the Gunners.
He is believed to be part of a group alongside Denilson, Sebastien Squillaci and Johan Djourou that Wenger is keen to offload as he reshapes his squad this summer.
SOURCE: talkSPORT
Arsenal could happily lose this quartet without any detriment to Arsene Wenger's squad as a whole and no doubt the Gunners boss would hope to recoup a fair sum for the four that he can then put towards bringing in a new signing or two.
Nicklas Bendtner had fairly good season out on loan at Sunderland and perhaps the Black Cats would be interested in signing the Danish international on a permanent basis, finding new homes for the others among this quartet may however prove more problematic.
Sebastien Squillaci was brought in to act as an experienced centre back to help beef up the numbers at the back however the French defender has appeared woefully inept and as such could prove a tricky player to attract any sort of fee for, indeed Wenger may elect to simply release the player to any side willing to acquire the services of the 31 year old former Sevilla man.
Denilson has spent the last year back at his former club Sao Paulo where he was sent off three times early on in the campaign but showed some signs of promise and could well secure a permanent move to the Brazilian side. Johan Djourou has shown plenty of heart during his Arsenal career but the utility defender may well lack the abilities needed to be a regular in a side challenging for a major honours.
now, we know two player from Arsenal who are leaving. Jeffrey Monakana is going to Preston, and Damian Martinez is going to Oxford United, who else?
ARSENE WENGER has made £12million striker Olivier Giroud his second big summer signing.
So who is latest addition to a seemingly endless line of French talent that Wenger seems to pluck year in year out? Let's find out: Olivier Giroud comes from Montpellier, the team that shocked France by winning Ligue 1 last season with the mere pocket change they had compared to PSG's endless riches. Giroud played an integral role, scoring 21 goals, bagging the golden boot, and had a hand 9 other goals (assists), proving that there's more to his game than putting the ball in the back of the net. So what sort of player is Giroud? He's big, he's strong and has a physical presence. A height of 6ft 3 ins tall and around 88kgs, Giroud would certainly provide a different dimension to what we already have in Van Persie. We said the same thing when Chamakh was signed, but he only provided an aerial presence. Giroud provides this and much more of a powerful physical presence. He is much more of a creator by all accounts, and judging by the number of assists he has created. With the lack of depth from last season in the striking department, this is just the sort of signing we need (assuming Van Persie stays of course!). We have signed Podolski, but he's more likely to be played on the left, what I'm talking about is an out and out striker. Whenever the likes of Chamakh and Park got an opportunity, to say they were a shadow of Van Persie would be a compliment. They were awful. I understand they didn't get much opportunity but when they did they lacked any presence, and provided no spark whatsoever. Giroud, a man who almost singlehandedly won Montpellier the title out of nothing will be a reliable back up. If you think this is a knee jerk purchase by Wenger, you're wrong. You see, Wenger finds talent, even when that talent is a needle in a haystack. Wenger has been tracking Giroud for years. When he was playing for Tours in Ligue 2 in 2008-09, he was being coached by Daniel Sanchez, a close ally of Wenger. This is where his friendship with Laurent Koscielny was born. They are the best of mates and are currently room mates for the national team at EURO 2012. He had this to say about his potential future team mate: "I always knew he would become the great player he is now. He always had something more than the others. I am delighted that he won the French title and finished the league top goalscorer because he deserved it. He has worked so hard for it. And the best is yet to come." His friendship with Koscielny, not to mention his current exposure to members of the French squad will ensure that he will have no trouble adjusting to life at Arsenal. Koscielny rates him and he also came from a similar background, rapidly rising from France's lower leagues, so he knows what it is like, and he knows what it takes. The only weakness I suppose is that he hasn't had exposure to big games, playing with a team of stars. He will be tested in such games, particularly in the Champions League.. He has already scored his first goal for France in February against Germany. This however was only his second game ever outside of France! The other was a Europa League qualifier in Hungary in which Montpellier were eliminated. He is now part of the French squad, and is slowly receiving such exposure. He's making this transition look seamless. He was particularly impressive in his performance against Iceland, where he set up the last two goals – one with a great one-two with Ribery and the second with a fine header for Adil Rami, to complete a 3-2 comeback for France. The signs are looking good. I really hope this deal can be done soon, will add some much needed quality and depth into our strike force.
ARSENAL have had a bid for flop Sebastien Squillaci. Bastia want him for their return to France's Ligue 1.
I'd like Sebastien Squillaci, I saw some of him in the Spanish League.. Good one
Arsenal have emerged as rivals to Chelsea's interest in Hatem Ben Arfa.
The 25-year-old Newcastle winger has been on the Champions League winners' radar for some time after an impressive campaign last season.
But Arsenal, whose summer reshuffle has seen them buy Cologne striker Lukas Podolski and sign Montpellier striker Olivier Giroud, are now contenders, too.
Ben Arfa is believed to have welcomed the interest, as he fears he would not play regularly if he were to trade Tyneside for Stamford Bridge.

The Swiss Army Bike
Recently, one of my readers turned me on to a seller of surplus Swiss Army bikes. That's right, the Swiss Army, designers of the famous tool chest disguised as a knife, and drivers of the Pinzgauer and Unimog. On looking at these bikes, I simply said "Yeah baby!" Swiss Army bikes, or Militarvelos, are fashioned after the classic Roadster bike that I covet. They have a coaster brake, a vertical rod front brake, and an extra rear drum brake. I suppose such is necessary in the Alps. The bikes came complete with dynamo driven lights, a rear rack, and a leather satchel for tools and documents. they even have a totally minimalistic bell on the handlebars. Pure lust swarmed from my chest.
I began to goggle and research articles on this machine to learn more. I contacted the supplier, only to find they had none available. Too bad.....At $350, the price was a bit steep anyway. My research is telling me these bikes should range in price from $100 to $250 or so.
I will likely not purchase a Militarvelo at this price, but I will keep looking for one. This is one hardcore utility bicycle. I want one!

A rise in the volume and variety of data-hungry mobile devices, including more affordable smartphones, tablets and e-readers, is set to be the most disruptive force in the wireless industry in the next three years. Operators are investing heavily in their networks to support new devices and services, yet they identified driving revenue from mobile broadband as their most significant challenge. These were the key findings of a global operator survey commissioned by Radisys® Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS) and undertaken by wireless analysts Senza Fili Consulting, ahead of Mobile World Congress 2012.
In January and February 2012, senior decision makers from operators in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific were interviewed for the survey. The survey revealed which technologies or services operators expected would have the most significant effect on the industry, how those technologies would impact network performance, subscriber experience and revenue, and which they would support or fight.
Highlights from the global operator survey include:
"Devices will continue to be the main driver to change in our industry," comments Monica Paolini of Senza Fili Consulting. "They have fundamentally changed the way subscribers use mobile broadband — why they use it, what they do with it, and how much traffic they generate. Yet, there is a pervasive feeling that we have just started to scratch the surface."

text: In related and happily ironic news, Senator Thomas Murt's child labor Bill 1548 went to the Governor of Pennsylvania today. The Bill introduces several protections for children working in entertainment in the Commonwealth of PA, including kids working in reality TV. The Bill, which in the beginning was nicknamed the Gosselin Bill, was designed to mirror child labor laws in California, a state that has always been way ahead of us in the protection of children in the business of entertainment. It's about time our laws reflected the reality that, despite what Kate has repeatedly said, kids in "reality TV" in Pennsylvania aren't just "playing in front of the cameras."]]>

I sometimes wonder if it's worth chasing after the newest thing on the internet or if we should concentrating our efforts on teaching students how to create and analyze media which has remained a constant over the past century and likely will remain a constant even as students view media on smaller and smaller devices.ReplyDelete
The tools for filmmaking in the classroom are also getting easier and easier for teachers and students.

Dividend Yield: 5.9%
Market Cap: $776 million
What if you could invest in airline stocks and get a 6% dividend for the trouble? Well, that's the shtick with Aircastle (NYSE:AYR), a company that leases almost 150 commercial and passenger airlines worldwide.
Aircastle is a lot like BOX in that it's an end-around on conventional stocks in the sector. By simply leasing airplanes to others, it doesn't have to deal with the direct impact of ticketing and baggage prices, fuel costs or freight rates.
A secular recovery in the economy would result in more leasing demand as more travelers and packages take to the air, so Aircastle could benefit big-time from this trend without the downside risk of oil prices gutting profits. Aircastle reported a 99% utilization in its most recent quarter, with lease rental revenue up 12%. The company posted a pretty big loss, however, on impairment charges of 15 older aircraft, but that didn't stop Aircastle from boosting its dividend 10%. It still has a very low payout ratio of about 30%, indicating another dividend hike is a real possibility in 2013.
Also noteworthy is that the company also has been aggressively buying back shares, with around $120 million spent in the last 18 months. That's a big chunk of change for a company this size.

Western Cape police are not saying whether they plan to respond to a request from Premier Helen Zille for comment on a series of complaints against them.
Zille has given police management until close of business on Wednesday to respond to complaints sent to the office of Western Cape police commissioner Lieutenant-General Arno Lamoer concerning an apparent breakdown in the relationship between police and residents of Khayelitsha.
The move came after a call from civil society to institute a formal inquiry into claims of inaction by the police and after a spate of vigilante attacks in Khayelitsha since March.
The provincial cabinet has already unanimously endorsed a decision to establish a commission of inquiry if all the necessary legal requirements are met.
"It was decided that there are adequate prima facie grounds to warrant this step," Zille said. "The latest sets of complaints have now been sent to the police for comment, and they have been given until today to respond."
Provincial police could not say whether they would respond to the complaints by Wednesday.
Western Cape police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Andre Traut said all the complaints were sent to the police's head office in Pretoria.
But when contacted on Tuesday, national police spokesman Lindela Mashigo said: "I don't know anything about that. The provincial office needs to reply."
In November, the Social Justice Coalition, the Treatment Action Campaign, Equal Education, the Triangle Project and Ndifuna Ukwazi, called on Zille to establish an inquiry into apparent policing and criminal justice system failures in Khayelitsha.

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip Nail Color Reviews
Confused.My staple summer color is a cute shimmery pink of this brand, and it lasts forever! So, I recently purchased a winter shade, hoping it would be my winter staple. It was called Black Diamond or something. It is soo pretty. However, the day I painted my nails that color, it didn't chip, it PEELED right off my nails, one by one! I noticed it coming back from the nail on my index finger and it lifted ...read moreright off. I was sorely disappointed! So I am a bit confused, hopefully no other colors do the same. — 6 years, 7 months agokiwi908 | 18 reviews
Long Wear and InexpensiveThis nail color is GREAT for a budget polish. I wore this polish for a week and a half and it didn't chip! I do recommend a top coat because it can be a bit dull after a few days. — 6 years, 12 months agolainaDAZE | 10 reviews
Nothing lasts like Sally HansenI won't use any other nail color besides Sally (doesn't last long enough). But this formula is better than all the other Sally formulas I've tried. It last all week for me witout chipping. It's not quick dry, but I've waited much longer with some others. It's also only about $5 a bottle, and well worth it to me! — 7 years agoVictorywriter | 47 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
Great colors and wearThere is a great color selection and all of them that I've tried have a nice,consistent formula. This lasts a lot longer than the "X-treme Wear" polishes from Sally Hansen, and I've had it on my fingers (no topcoat) for up to a week with out chips and more than a month on my toes. The brush is nice and flexible and the packaging is so pretty. This is definitely worth the increased price, as it's better quality than the cheaper Sally Hansens. — 7 years, 1 month agomakeupjunkie777 | 59 reviews
love the diamondi love the little diamond on the bottle. it's the best part. the nail polish is a bit average and doesn't last much longer than Hard as Nails polish, but the packaging is what keeps me buying this. especially in Champagne Toast. it's my emergency classy nail color. — 7 years, 4 months agoVirginiaLynn | 13 reviews
Not badI have 2 bottles of this nail polish and I like it. It goes on easily and evenly but the color selection can be a bit limited. It does last a while yet I've not noticed it lasting all that much longer than other nail polishes. — 8 years, 2 months agoEmkocan | 16 reviews
WOW!I was really surprised when I tried this polish. I have two small children and am constantly picking at my fingers. Regardless, the polish never chipped. It started wearing at the nail tip a tiny bit after about four days. I only used two coats! Great polish for the price. — 8 years, 3 months agobanningkids | 19 reviews
Great polish and decent priceI love this line of nail polish. It goes on smoothly and dries rather quickly and doesn't chip as fast as other nail polishes do. Its a great line that everyone should try. — 8 years, 3 months agopinkpenguinrn | 4 reviews

Best thing I've ever usedBest drugstore brand out there. I have never used nail polish from a drugstore before and not had my nails ruined by some time the next day.

1. Re: Singleton v/s class with static members & methods965926 Oct 6, 2012 8:41 AM (in response to 966548)What if you have to load resources from a database for application configuration. If you use static you will always load all config items even if you did not necessarily need them, and with singleton you could lazy load. So it doesn't answer your question about Polymorphism, however its a reason that it would make more sense to use Singleton.
As far as polymorphism you can have a logger that may need to implement different interfaces so that the logger can be used by multiple parts of your system in a more generic way. You may be able to pass around a logger for whatever reason and use the interface that it implements. Maybe not the greatest idea but its the only thing that comes immediately to mind.

Same purpose can be achieved using classes with static member variables and static methods.
Your question is nothing more than an embodiment of the concept without using the pattern.

user12965244 wrote:As jschell had mentioned, singleton pattern is a cleaner way of doing the task.
Why would one ever require one and only one instance? Same purpose can be achieved using classes with static member variables and static methods.
I can think of at least one important difference. A non-singleton class (with static members) can be instantiated many times. That can lead to class users (rather than the class writer who knows very well that instantiation is purposeless) to create instances and use it. It leads to memory waste. Here is a case where an informed class writer can implement the singleton pattern so that others (class users) are forced to use the class in a memory efficient manner. This memory efficiency may not be important in all the applications, but where there is a possibility of using a massive number of such objects, this can mean saving memory and cut down related memory management times.
4. Re: Singleton v/s class with static members & methods943988 Dec 14, 2012 5:00 AM (in response to 966548)Well, in addition to what Kamal has mentioned, singleton is just a pattern defined for solving problems and it is independent of in which language it is implemented.
We implement singleton using static keyword.
Static is a java construct while singleton is more or like design principle.

NZ sharemarket undeterred by rates hike
New Zealand stocks have belied normal market convention by rising after the Reserve Bank lifted the official cash rate and offered no respite to further interest rate hikes.
The NZX 50 Index advanced 15.961 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 5195.11 on Thursday.
Within the index, 21 stocks rose, 15 fell and 14 were unchanged. Turnover was $163.2 million.
Central bank governor Graeme Wheeler hiked the OCR a quarter-point to 3.25 per cent and showed no sign of slowing the pace of future rate hikes.
"The big news today was the Reserve Bank," said Robert Garden, investment advisor for Craigs Investment Partners.
"Ordinarily increasing interest rates aren't a positive for the market, but we're in early stages of the cycle and it does show proof that the economy is actually going steady and building momentum."
Telecom rose 1.1 per cent to $2.715.
The stock is often seen as a proxy for the kiwi dollar as investors look for a place to park the currency, Mr Garden said.
Air New Zealand climbed 1.8 per cent to $2.27 and Trade Me Group advanced 1.8 per cent to $3.49.
New Zealand Oil & Gas led the benchmark index higher, up 5.2 per cent to 81 cents.
Fletcher Building, New Zealand's largest listed company, dropped 0.4 per cent to $9.08 and Auckland International Airport fell 1.2 per cent to $3.87.

More access to Joe Girardi doesn't make for a more interesting story, which explains why Gay Talese's new profile of the Yankees' skipper can't compare to "Silent Season."
There's a clue to what's wrong with Gay Talese's recent New Yorker profile of Yankee manager Joe Girardi in these two very similar anecdotes. According to a 1973 profile of the writer, in the spring of 1950 the 18-year-old Talese went to St. Petersburg, Fla. to watch the Yankees in spring training. A young woman mistook him for the Yankees' Jerry Coleman. Talese went along with it and, in this pinch-hitting imposture, took her deep that night. (Coleman was told about this later and was apparently livid.)
In his new piece on Girardi, Talese recounts another such story, about a time when he "embarked on a love affair in college with a young woman I had met in French class." A few years before, Talese had gotten his first autograph from another Yankee, Johnny Lindell, who substituted for Joe DiMaggio while the Yankee Clipper was serving in the Army Air Forces. ("Lindell always posed graciously for snapshots and talked with fans before and after the games," Talese recalls.)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/8/2013 (1450 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
1. Former Bomber Geroy Simon has caught at least one pass in 178 straight games and is five catches shy of tying Terry Vaughn for the No. 2 in all-time receptions with 1,006. Ben Cahoon is the all-time leader at 1,017.
2. The last time the Bombers were this awful was 1998, when the club started 0-10 before finishing 4-14.
3. The Bombers are second-last in turnovers with 29; Saskatchewan is first overall with just seven. The Riders are plus-14 in the takeaway/giveaway ratio; Winnipeg is minus-18.
4. The Riders are 10-2 in their last 12 games against Winnipeg.
5. Bomber Alex Hall leads the CFL with 11 sacks. He is on pace for 25, a total not reached since Joe Montford's 26 sacks in 1999. The Bomber club record is 22, set by Elfrid Payton in 1993.
QUOTABLE: Rider head coach Cory Chamblin has seen all versions of the Labour Day Classic as an assistant coach in Winnipeg, Calgary, Hamilton and now as the boss in Saskatchewan. The differences between the Bombers-Riders, compared to the Battle of Alberta and the Tiger-Cats-Argonauts?
"Here it's a lot different because our fans are always pumped and ready to go. It is just a little bit different... it may just be more liquor sales, that's probably the biggest thing."
ALL-TIME: Despite their recent woes, the Bombers lead the all-time series (dating back to 1936) 127-96-4.
Roster shuffle
The Bombers have made four changes to their starting roster, all on offence. New wide receiver Aaron Kelly steps in for Doug Pierce, Andre Douglas replaces Shannon Boatman at right tackle, slotback Cory Watson returns to the lineup for the injured Rory Kohlert and Justin Goltz will start at quarterback for Max Hall.
New defensive end Greg Peach will be one of the designated imports and see lots of action while Jeremy McGee will be the extra defensive back over Marty Markett.
Former Bomber defensive end Jason Vega, scooped up by the Dallas Cowboys after his recent release by the New England Patriots, was cut again on Saturday. Word from Dallas is Vega may be a candidate for the Cowboys' practice roster.
-Bomber draft pick Andy Mulumba, selected second overall last spring, has made the Green Bay Packers. The Pack cut 22 players on Saturday and Mulumba, a defensive end who has impressed, was not among them.
-Rider long snapper Cory Huclack, a Winnipeg product, will play in his 99th career game today.
Who are these guys?
Chamblin, on facing a Bomber squad undergoing a makeover:
"The toughest part is they've had so many changes in the last couple of weeks, whether it be coaches or just their personnel. That's the toughest thing to exactly key on. You start chasing ghosts on what they could do, instead of what they really are going to do.
"It makes it a little bit more uneasy because when you step out there you're actually guessing until they show what they're going to do."
Familiar face in unfamiliar place
CFL legend Geroy Simon has seen and done a lot in his illustrious 15-year career. But his last Labour Day Classic -- his only one, come to think of it -- came way back in 2000 in his second year as a Bomber.
"I get excited for every game, but this game is one of the reasons I wanted to come here: to have the opportunity to play in a Labour Day Classic is something special," said Simon, who was acquired from B.C. in a trade this past January. "It's something I didn't get an opportunity to do for a number of years."
Simon is in Rider colours, in part, because the man who discovered and brought him into the league -- former Bomber GM Brendan Taman -- is now the football boss in Saskatchewan.
"This business is all about relationships," said Simon. "I've had a great relationship with Brendan ever since he brought me into the league back in the day. Khari (Jones, the Riders QB coach) is here, I know B. Miles (former Lions safety Barron Miles, the defensive back coach) here... I've had a fairly good relationship with the Riders. Obviously it was tumultuous on the field, but I would come to town every once in a while to do appearances and would get a good reception.
"Coming here felt right, even though we were heated rivals on the field."

All About Pasteurization
Pasteurization has very little impact on the nutritional value of milk, and could even have benefits on health.
The pasteurization process involves heating milk to very high temperatures and then suddenly cooling it down in order to destroy disease-causing bacteria. This process is mandatory for all the milk sold in Canada not only to ensure the safety of milk but also to increase its shelf life.
Studies have shown that pasteurization has no effect on calcium absorption and that vitamins A and D, riboflavin (B2) and niacin (B3) are not affected by heat. Pasteurization does produce a slight loss in thiamine (B1) and vitamin B12, although milk is still a source of these two nutrients. Pasteurized milk is also fortified with vitamin D, contrary to raw milk, which contains only very small amounts of this vitamin.
Raw milk is permitted for use in cheesemaking for cheeses that are aged a minimum of 60 days. This is because the way raw milk cheeses are manufactured and produced helps eliminate any harmful bacteria that may be present in raw milk.

There are stark differences between the budget priorities of President Barack Obama and those of Republican congressional leaders, but the one thing they unfortunately agree on is that entitlements — the biggest budget-busters of all — are not touched in their latest proposals. Yet both sides also know that the country will only return to financial health by making adjustments to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. The result of this stalemate is that both the president and Congress are tinkering around the edges, inflicting real pain in spending cuts in a sliver of the federal budget without focusing on the broader efforts needed to make a real dent in the federal deficit.
The president's $3.7 trillion budget is a mix of spending cuts and new investments that would reduce the deficit by $1.1 trillion over 10 years. While that might sound promising, Obama's plan increases the national debt by $7.2 trillion, and that's assuming rosy projections for economic growth.
Obama recommends significant domestic spending cuts that will be painful to low-income residents and local communities, including programs that provide heating assistance to the poor and block grants to communities. The president intends to save $400 billion through a five-year freeze in nonsecurity discretionary spending. To his credit, he also proposes reducing the Pentagon's budget by $78 billion over five years, a responsible step that Republicans refuse to consider.
Obama 's budget would prepare the country for future challenges by investing in infrastructure, research and innovation, including high-speed rail, clean energy initiatives and eduction. These are business-friendly steps critical to positioning America to compete in a global marketplace.
Predictably, House Republicans wasted no time in denouncing Obama's vision as too expensive. With pressure from the tea party sympathizers, they are about to start debating their own plan to slash at least $61 billion from nonsecurity domestic spending for the remaining seven months of this fiscal year. (They won't write a budget for fiscal year 2012 until April.)
The immediate cuts Republicans seek are deep and painful to a small slice of the budget that covers a host of vital public services. Their proposals would eliminate or sharply reduce funding for education, health services, law enforcement, border security and an array of other programs. Yet even such significant cuts would have relatively little impact on the deficit over the long run, since nonsecurity domestic spending accounts for only 12 percent of federal spending. Until Republicans are willing to tackle entitlement reform, their calls for fiscal discipline are empty.
Early last year, Republicans helped to doom a truly muscular bipartisan deficit commission by failing to help Obama pass legislation to create one. The commission established through executive order produced a serious blueprint for $4 trillion in savings over 10 years through cuts to domestic and military spending, a tax overhaul, and reforms to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. While some of the recommendations are controversial, they are worthy of serious discussion.
Four members of that commission are in the Senate and are reportedly working on passing at least some of the recommendations. But until Republicans and Democrats come together to discuss tax increases, more military and domestic cuts and entitlement reform, the country will remain in an eternal game of political chicken while Americans helplessly watch the national debt grow. Inflicting disproportionate pain in a small portion of the budget and pandering to interest groups is not going to get the job done.

WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006 PlayStation 2
- Publisher: THQ
- Release Date: Nov 14, 2005
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
AceGamezWith multiple single player aspects such as GM Mode, two storyline seasons, PPV creation and Exhibition title-defences, WWE SmackDown vs RAW 2006 is easily the most full-featured SmackDown ever made and the online mode is a simply phenomenal addition that is hard to resist if you're able to connect.
The create-a-wrestler mode was always the strongest asset of this game in past years, but this year the mode is the deepest it has ever been.
netjakWhere "WWF No Mercy" on the Nintendo 64 ruled as the best wrestling game, but WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 is the new standard.
The greatest wrestling title so far, on any format. It's not without its minor flaws, but the graphics are some of the best the PS2 has to offer, the gameplay is there in buckets, the realism is the best yet, and the game is just so damned fun.
With solid controls, sharp visuals, a large number of grapplers and match types, you can't go wrong with a game that packs quite a punch and will have you gladly begging for more.
While I'll be the first to admit that the series could still work on its list of recurring problems, there's no other wrestling game since "No Mercy" that offers this much replay, value, or depth.
The definitive wrestling game for the PS2. It includes a number of gameplay modes, solid gameplay, and a stellar presentation.
Without a doubt, WWE Smackdown! Vs. Raw 2006 is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, wrestling game ever made.
Those who bought last year's game might find themselves disappointed by the lack of genuine innovation and new thrills. It's still a truly amazing game, but one that's in need of a freshening up and a different slant before they chuck out next year's version. [PSW]
With GM mode, arguably the best season mode in wrestling, and expanded online play (four players in one match), it's basically impossible not to recommend Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 to any grappling gamers.
I've always been a hater of this series (far too arcadey for my tastes) but this time around, I'm completely sold. There are a few issues standing between it and true wrestling perfection (a better targeting system would be nice), but they're hardly anything to tarnish the experience.
With new features, including the killer GM mode and highly improved visuals, it's absolutely the best wrestling game to release on this generation of consoles.
It's not the perfect wrestling game but it's damn close. You don't have to be a wrestling fan to appreciate the challenges put forth in this excellent title.
You can customise your locker room, create your own title belts and compete for them in the much-improved online mode, connect the game to the upcoming PSP version, recreate classic matches – seemingly, whatever you want or need to do is right here. Absolutely superb.
While the A.I. may leave something to be desired, the positives far outweigh the negatives in this awesome title. The best wrestling game on the PS2 to date.
It is easily the most complete, innovative, and accessible wrestling game since Aki's incredible "No Mercy."
Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKWe expected a humbler roster update. Instead, we got a game so comprehensive it renders every previous wrestling title redundant. [Nov 2005, p.86]
It's arguably the best fighter/wrestling title out for any portable console, is the best ever in the long history of the title for PS2, and has a great gameplay experience that it's hard to imagine any wrestling fan not immediately falling in love with this game.
Without a doubt, this is the deepest that a SmackDown! game has ever been, and while not every single thing that this game tries works completely, the sheer breadth of content makes it an easy choice for any wrestling enthusiast, and quite possibly the best wrestling game available for the system.
Game InformerSimply the most fully-loaded wrestling title yet. [Dec 2005, p.172]
If you're looking for the best wrestler out on the market, you need look no farther than Smackdown Versus Raw 2006. An expanded roster with storylines, added GM mode and deeper emphasis on ring psychology makes every match more dynamic and realistic.
A wrestling fan's wet dream crammed onto a disc. Almost every mode you could possibly want is present and well done. The roster is top notch, with nearly every wrestler imaginable available.
As wrestling games go it's fairly solid and will be loved by fans and generally accepted by everyone else.
For wrestling fans this is an absolutely essential purchase, even if you do own a copy of a predecessor.
If you like the WWE, this is pretty much the most complete package you can find. There are some glitches, but the tuning of the gameplay, combined with new wrestling features, expansion of staple game modes, and addition of some cool new ones ensures that there's plenty of substance to go with the style.
The only problem now is where THQ takes things from here; if it doesn't want to fall into the FIFA-trap, it'll have to come up with something pretty special next time.
Combines classic elements of the best wrestling games to see the light of day, such as excellent animation/facial mapping, a wide assortment of events/wrestlers and a solid soundscape.
It's excellent, and if you're a wrestling die-hard, you'll want to get it. But if you're not, we can't honestly say that this is different enough to last year's outing - which itself was hardly radically different to the previous year's - to be a must-have. [PSM2]
Let's hope they take the lessons they learned from this steroid-fueled installment and carry the tradition of tight content additions and smart gameplay tweaks into the next generation.
Taking the criticism thrown at it last year, Yukes has come up trumps with this year's iteration rectifying the situation with a barrage of new wrestlers, features, and gameplay elements that wrapped together forms one of the most complete wrestling titles yet.
PSM MagazineIt may not be a perfect game, but it's still a lot of fun. [Holiday 2005, p.92]
The fact that you can fight for belts in Exhibition alone makes it a must buy, but the wrestlers staying in the ring while their opponents come down the aisle tickles my funny bone and I love being tickled.
Looking at the list of options and features, WWE Smackdown Versus Raw 2006 seems to have everything. With a better wrestling engine, it would.
All of this together makes for a wrestling game that could easily pin any other grappling contest released in the past few years.
Pelit (Finland)Has a huge amount of interesting wrestlers and game modes. Too bad the clunky and buggy fighting system is so clearly outdated. [Jan 2006]
I've been following the Smackdown series ever since the original game back on the Playstation, and the one thing I've noticed is that the randomness has gotten less with each successive game.
If there's any current genre in need of a Fight Night–style makeover, it's THQ's rasslin' line. In the words of the Undertaker: R.I.P., grappling games...at least for a little while. If you must, then rent.
Finally, a SmackDown game that's paced like real wrestling and veers away from the usual arcadey button-mashathon.
If the SmackDown! series doesn't start making proper innovations instead of these minor cosmetic tweaks year after year, there's every chance we'll get a little bored of it. For now, though, SmackDown! is still as good as wrestling games can get.
You really have to wonder how long Yuke's continue to push out the exact same game with minor changes each year when there are so many issues – even EA's games feature bigger alterations than what we've seen from Smackdown over the past few years.
Matches are still way too slow most of the time. Aiming issues make your wrestlers look clownish when they attempt to start a throw and instead just swing at air. And worst of all, tag-team partners--the bane of any wrestling game--are still dumb as dirt and simply don't do what they're told.
Hardcore wrestling fans will find the deepest reservoir of variety ever available, and may even forgive the feeble fighting system long enough to enjoy some theatrics.

The graphics for the game are so realistic and the animations looked stunning. They still hold up well today. The roster is really good and the many unlockable legends gave the the game a lot of replayability. The game gave us new matches such as Backstage/Bar Brawl, Lingerie Pillow Fight and the revamped Buried Alive match. The Ai is very good and balanced. The gameplay was brilliant. I loved the Season Mode.
Some things I didn't like was the confusing GM mode, terrible soundtrack and annoying collision detection.

It gives her a chance to perform at events such as Wednesday's We Think Pink Banquet, which raises money and awareness for breast cancer research.
"My grandmother died when I was 18 of breast cancer," she said.
That was 32 years ago. Her grandmother was 80 years old, and it was a different era in medicine.
Renfroe, the guest speaker at this year's banquet, said she and her mother moved in with her grandmother when she was 2. She spent most of her childhood with her grandmother while her mother, a single parent, worked.
"My grandmother was the closest person to me," she said.
Eventually her mother remarried, and they moved away, but that special bond with her grandmother never waned.
Screenings for breast cancer weren't as common in those days, and her grandmother lived with lumps in her breasts for a year before she told anyone about them. She didn't want to worry anyone, Renfroe said. By the time cancer was detected, it was too advanced.
Performing for breast cancer events gives Renfroe a chance to honor her grandmother's memory.
"It's my way of saying how much I love her," she said.
Renfroe's performance will be anything but melancholy, though. She believes laughter truly is the best medicine. Anything you can laugh at, you can survive, she said. Laughter raises endorphins, which make a person feel good, and reduces pain – "which is why I think my shows should count as medical expenses," she said.
Growing up in a tiny town in central Texas, Renfroe never considered comedy as a career option. Most of the girls she knew were becoming teachers and nurses, but all she really wanted was to have a family. And she did. She was a stay-at-home mother – she has three children with her husband, John.
"When I got to be 35, I guess I cared less and less what people thought of me, so I let the party out of my head," she said.
In 2006, at her children's urging, she recorded the William Tell Momisms – everything a mother would say in a 24-hour period set to the William Tell Overture. She posted it on YouTube, and in a few short months, it went viral.
It started as a spoken-word piece she had written the week before, but she started memorizing it and realized that halfway through the piece, she was repeating herself, so she thought it would work best set to music.
"The William Tell Overture was the second-fastest song I knew," she said. "(It) has that 'charge' feel to it."
She said it didn't exactly catapult her to stardom – "I don't get better tables at Applebee's," she said, but acknowledged it did elevate her "O'Her" factor.
The O'Her factor describes a conversation she imagines in which one person invites another to see Renfroe's show.
"Who's Anita Renfroe?"
"The mom who did that video."
"Oh. Her!"
She calls it her Free Bird. Lynyrd Skynyrd can't leave the stage without performing Free Bird, and now she will have to sing William Tell Momisms for the rest of her life. She doesn't mind a bit.
"As a comic, I think that's probably one of the greatest compliments, is that somebody knows you from a piece of comedy that you've created," she said.

Jessica Simpson Bobs and Weaves After a Workout
Jessica Simpson headed out to her car yesterday afternoon following a workout at her LA gym. Her healthy lifestyle is evidently carrying over to her diet as well, as Jess just tweeted about her enthusiasm for Earth Balance. She enjoyed a low-key Memorial Day weekend around home with friends and family, skipping out on the beach trips and barbecues that kept other celebs busy — though she did have a recommendation on perfect shoes for the holiday. Jess has had her fair share of photo ops recently, with a night out at the Gracie Awards and a fun evening with sister Ashlee, Victoria Beckham, and Eva Longoria at an LG party.

Political rally, Santiago, Chile, 1964.
Welcome to the History Department
Read what recent graduates (class of 2015) have to say about majoring in History!!
History encompasses the whole of human experience, helping us understand ourselves in the context of our times and traditions through the study of times and traditions other than our own. History means not only the record of the past but also the discipline of investigating and interpreting the past. The study of history develops habits of critical thinking and effective writing, as well as it cultivates the careful analysis of various types of quantitative and qualitative evidence. It should be of value not only to undergraduates who intend to pursue advanced degrees in the field, but also to students interested in exploring the diversity and complexity of the human past, even as they hone their analytical and expository skills.
