Robotics workshop
Thirty students in grades 4-8 throughout the South Hills came together at the Peters Township Public Library recently to explore the field of robotics. Groups of five students each were issued a challenge: to build a robot that could track a colored line around a twisting, turning course using the LEGO Mindstorm NXT robotics kit. High school students from the Titanium Titans FIRST Robotics Team #4467 worked with each team to help them build their robots. All teams successfully completed the challenge and showed off their robotic design and programming skills before having lunch with "Atlas," the Titanium Titans robot that was built to compete in the 2013 Pittsburgh Regional FIRST competition. Atlas fired frisbees over the field next to the Peters Township tennis courts while kids jumped up to catch them. As a result of this workshop, two-thirds of these students signed up to participate on a FIRST Lego League team for grades 4-8 (offered by Snapology in Bethel Park) or on a FIRST Tech Challenge Team for grades 7-9 (offered by the Creative Learning Collaborative). This event was offered by the Creative Learning Collaborative, and sponsored by the Peters Township Public Library, the Western Area Career & Technology Center, and Snapology Lego Learning Center in Bethel Park.

@ezwider Moved to Albuquerque and stayed there for about 15 years. Recently moved to a small town in Mississippi just north of the Louisiana panhandle. I live off of military disability now and this area allows me to purchase a 3 bedroom house, with acreage to hunt and fish on, for the same amount that it cost me to rent a one bedroom apartment back in ABQ. Everyone is friendly here and watches out for each other. Love it here...hate the big congested cities.

Larian Studios - To Listen or Not to Listen
Larian Studio's head honcho Swen Vincke has updated his blog discussing one of the big pros of being self-funding and self-publishing, which is the ability to make the choices they could not make before.
We received feedback today from a group of journalists about what they thought of a hands-on session with a beta-version of the game. Specifically, they were asked to name three things they liked and three things they disliked. From that list a few issues got flagged, and the question now is whether or not we'll address those issues.
We are dangerously close to release, so anything we change now is bound to have a significant impact. But of course, not intervening means that for sure those issues will pop up in reviews, and if they're bothering the journalists, they'll probably also bother our players. Naturally, if we continue fixing things that pop up, we'll never release because there's no such thing as a perfect game. So, when is enough enough ? And should we listen to the feedback we received?
Had this been one of our previous games where we were paid via milestones, the decision would already have been taken, and no changes would be made, definitely not at this stage in development. But it's not somebody else's decision to make this time. It's ours, and I am happy that we get to make this type of decision.
To make it concrete, the issue at hand has to do with the difficulty, pacing and tempo of the RTS part of Dragon Commander. Several journalists think it's too fast and too hard. That would be a simple enough thing to solve if it weren't for that other group who thinks it's too easy. Go figure
Unfortunately it's not something we can easily fix by introducing a gamespeed slider or balancing multiplier, so we're either going have to make a real choice for who our primary audience is or introduce completely different sets of balancing data from which players can choose.
That obviously will impact development, because suddenly we'll have doubled our balancing work, so it's not a trivial thing because it means not only extra design work, but also a shitload of extra QA work.
For the purpose of my blog and my arguments pro self-publishing, whatever our choice in this is doesn't really matter. The cool thing is that we actually can choose and that we know things like this prior to release, so we have a chance to do something about it. If we didn't self-publish and wouldn't have been that closely in touch with the journalists, we would never even have had this opportunity.
For the purpose of the success of my game, it of course matters a lot.

this should be interesting!
Eat that Ray Lewis...
81 yard TD for T.O. on the Eagles first play from scrimmage...
Ravens need Chris McAlister
not this year, not ever. The city of Philly can't catch a break. Even Smarty Jones failed to bring a championship to that city. Sorry Eagles Fans
That celebration penelty was horrible....
eagles offense has looked horrible with the exception of 2 big plays.
Did TO even dare to cross ray lewis's path?
They both claim to be friends, and TO said the media is trying to portray a different attitude.
Looks like the Eagles will lose Buckhalter for the year. Looks like it will be on Westbrook.
the Eagles cant buy any luck, Buckhalter wasnt even touched...
What's worse is that the Eagles already lost their rookie RB Bruce Perry for the season just prior to Buckhalter going down. Their running back depth is very thin at the moment. They have Westbrook who had over 600 yds last season, and then two guys who haven't had an NFL carry yet I believe. Now they might be in the market for a veteran RB.
The Eagles also lost starting def end N.D. Kalu for the year with a torn ACL in practice. Also a non-contact injury. He caught his cleats in the grass. They have had 10 guys hurt since the start of camp, six of them starters, two backups from last year, and two guys who do not figure to make the team.
Separate names with a comma.

Timing right for X Games in Brazil
As you see the majestic 269-foot waterfalls splashed across your flat screen this week, the question might cross your mind.
Why Brazil?
Why was this nation, with its thriving and colorful action sports culture, selected as the site for the only Southern Hemisphere X Games this year -- and, more specifically, in a tucked-away city 10 hours from the ocean named Foz do Iguaçu?
More kids are skating than playing soccer [in Brazil].Skateboarder Bob Burnquist
We should start with the country. If you haven't noticed, Brazil is kind of buzzing these days on the world sporting stage. Soccer's World Cup will be held in stadiums across the nation next year, and, in 2016, the Summer Olympics are set for Rio de Janeiro. So this week's inaugural Global X Games stop in Foz do Iguaçu is only the start of a three-year stretch that will make Brazil a regular backdrop for some of the world's top sporting events.
Foz do Iguaçu is not the epicenter of Brazil's action-sports scene; that would probably be Sao Paulo, a massive metropolitan area 12 hours by car to the northeast with some 20 million residents and skate parks scattered throughout shopping malls, on highway medians and abutting the favelas, or slums. The city has produced so many of the country's star athletes.
Foz holds its own in the action sports world and is home to a core motocross and skateboarding contingent, but the city's hallmark is its waterfall system: a mesmerizing sight on the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay that stretches across 1.67 miles and contains more than 200 falls, peaking with a 269-foot drop.
Sadly for the daredevil set, X Games Foz will not include a whiskey-barrel-over-the-falls competition. But it will showcase the world's best competitors across BMX, skateboarding, surfing, freestyle motocross and rally car racing (including drivers from Formula One and NASCAR, notably the never-a-dull-moment man himself, Travis Pastrana).
In a sense, holding the X Games in Brazil would be like holding the World Series in the Dominican Republic -- largely because of Brazil's ever-expanding zest for skateboarding. In a country of 195 million people, soccer has long been the biggest draw, both professionally and among next-generation athletes.
Don't tell Pelé, but Brazil's five-time World Cup champion soccer (OK, fútebol) side just dropped to 19th in the FIFA world rankings, three spots below Belgium. Skateboarding, meanwhile, has never been more popular in Brazil. As the country's unofficial godfather of the sport, Bob Burnquist, recently told ESPN's Alyssa Roenigk, "More kids are skating than playing soccer."
It would be tough to fact-check the claim from the 22-time X Games medalist, who enters Thursday's Big Air competition as a favorite to win gold. But he has a point. Look at fellow Brazilian Pedro Barros, who is favored to win Skateboard Park on Sunday. He grew up in a surf town, Florianópolis, on an island off Brazil's coast. He adores surfing and paddles out every day with his father. But he also started skating when he was 4. Now, at 18, he's one of the world's best concrete bowl skateboarders.
To get an expat's sense of Brazil, I called an old college football teammate, Paul Shull, who moved to Sao Paulo last year with his wife and three kids. He works in development for Manitowoc Food Service, a U.S. company that, like many American businesses, has taken steps to expand its operations in Brazil, whose booming economy is the world's seventh strongest.
Paul grew up surfing on the East Coast, where waves are finite and territorial behavior isn't unheard of. After a handful of days in Brazilian waves, he marveled as much at the limitless surf spots as he did at the local talent. "There's miles and miles and miles of beach here, up and down the coast," he said, voicing one reason the nation's surfers annually contend for the world title. "But," he added, "not everyone can afford a surfboard."
That, in essence, is why Brazilians who rise to elite levels in action sports are so celebrated. Paul told me of a local television show he recently stumbled across while channel surfing late at night. While chronicling the early Sao Paulo skateboarding scene, the narrator told of how pro skaters who grew up there became tougher and grittier than many of their peers. "They learned to ride on shoddy concrete with rocks and stones all over the place," Paul recounted.
Many of those pocked skate parks still exist, but, as a whole, the sport has come of age in Brazil, just like the others to be contested this week in Foz. And more often than not, the local athletes gunning for gold with the waterfalls in the background will have played at least a small role in getting their sports to where they are today.

An error on a popped-up bunt allowed Tennessee to score the go-ahead run in the ninth inning and junior Nick Blount came on to record his seventh save in seven consecutive games as the Volunteers edged No. 10 South Carolina, 5-4, in front of a sold-out crowd of 8,242 at Carolina Stadium on Friday night.
Tennessee improves to 20-10 overall and 6-4 in Southeastern Conference play, while the Gamecocks fall to 21-9 on the year and 3-7 in league action. For the Vols, it is the fastest they have reached the 20-win mark since going 20-8 to start the 2005 season, which culminated in an appearance in the College World Series.
With the score deadlocked at 4-4 in the top of the ninth after three lead changes, the Big Orange put runners on the corners with one out after back-to-back singles by Zach Osborne and Will Maddox. With the count at 0-2 to Zach Luther following two unsuccessful bunt attempts, he was able to get the bat on the ball but popped the two-strike bunt back to the mound. Osborne was caught off third, but the throw to double him up by SC pitcher Matt Price sailed into left field, allowing the eventual game-winning run to score.
"It's baseball," Tennessee head coach Dave Serrano said. "I don't think anyone out there can figure out this game, I can't figure it out. That's why we continue to tell our players to play hard. Play hard and try to win the next pitch because if you try to analyze why this game does certain things, you are going to go crazy with it."
Blount then came on to retire all three batters he faced, sitting down the heart of the Gamecock order, with the last out traveling all the way to the warning track in dead center, to pick up his eighth save of the season and seven in seven consecutive games.
The win marked UT's first in Carolina Stadium and first over South Carolina since 2009.
Junior Drew Steckenrider (3-2) launched his fifth home run of the season and struck out the side twice in his 2.1 innings of work to pick up the win after 5.2 strong innings by South Carolina native and UT starter Zack Godley. Both pitchers struck out six in the contest.
The Vols touched up South Carolina starter Michael Roth for three runs on six hits, three of which went for extra bases. He had allowed just three extra-base hits all season entering the contest. It was Price (3-3) that suffered the loss, however, yielding two runs, one earned, in 2.2 innings.
"(Michael Roth and Matt Price are) two guys that I have a lot of respect for, that I have watched on TV the last few years and I am very proud of our guys for being able to overcome those two guys and overcome ourselves," Serrano said. "We kind of put ourselves in that situation a little bit and we kind of overcame ourselves which is what we have been doing lately, but I am very proud of how we overcame Roth and Price, two good quality pitchers in college baseball."
The Vols struck first, using doubles by Ethan Bennett and Maddox to bring in the first run of the game. Roth entered the contest having allowed just three extra-base hits all season before the two at-bats by the UT underclassmen.
The Gamecocks threatened to get on the board in the bottom of the fourth, putting together the makings of a two-out rally with a double high off the wall and back-to-back walks to load the bases. Godley made quick work of T.J. Costen though, striking him out on three straight pitches to end the frame.
South Carolina finally got on the board in the bottom of the fifth, striking for a pair of unearned runs to take a 2-1 lead.
It wouldn't last long though, as Steckenrider launched a mammoth bomb into the left-field bleachers with one on to give it right back to Tennessee in the top of the sixth. It was his team-leading fifth of the season and the first allowed by Roth this season.
The back-and-forth affair continued in the home half of the frame, however, as Christian Walker laced a two-out, bases-loaded single to center to bring home two runs and put South Carolina back on top, 4-3.
Following a scoreless seventh, the Vols answered right back in the eighth. Luther led off the frame with a first-pitch double to left-center and Steckenrider followed with a walk. Parker Wormsley, who had entered the game as a pinch-runner earlier in the contest, was unsuccessful on his first two bunt attempts, but laid a perfect one down with two strikes to move both runners up 90 feet. That allowed a groundout to short by Chris Fritts to bring in the tying run and set up the dramatic ninth-inning finish.
Tennessee will go for the series win at 8 p.m. on Saturday night in a contest set to air on ESPNU. Carter Blackburn and former LSU star Ben McDonald will be on the call, while UT senior southpaw T.J. Thornton (0-0, 5.40) will square off with Gamecock lefty Jordan Montgomery (2-0, 3.27) on the mound.

text: My 92 LX has had a condition of delayed starting from day one since I owned it. Not that I've been specifically trying to fix it yet, but none of anything I've done that you all may have heard me discuss on here has changed the condition. It always starts but it cranks unusually long. Maybe 4 or 5 seconds of cranking before starting. Occasionally it will start quicker but not often. I tried putting the key to the on position for a few seconds before cranking to get the fuel pump pressuring up but that doesn't help. Any ideas on what could be causing it?

Troop movement: Army worms invade CNY
Wed, 27 Jun 2012 21:50:20 GMT —
Troop movement has been sighted west of Syracuse. No, it isnâ??t military activity, but it does have to do with an army of sorts. Itâ??s an invasion of army worms, a type of caterpillar, and theyâ??ve recently been sighted devouring grass-crops at a break-neck pace.
John Hourigan, of Houriganâ??s Dairy Farm in Elbridge tells me â??itâ??s just amazing how fast they move. Thatâ??s why theyâ??re called army worms, they march up, destroy a field, and move onto the next field.â??
Believe it or not, army worms are pretty much present every year here in CNY, theyâ??re just present in remarkably smaller numbers. Farmers like John tell me itâ??s been a very long time since theyâ??ve had to deal with a real invasion like this.
â??50 years of farming, itâ??s my first battle with them. As a kid, I remember the farmers talking about army worms. So itâ??s my first experience, and the first experience for a lot of people in this area.â??
According to Dan Welch of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cayuga county, there may be a round two coming soon to a farm near you. Typically, this second round is weaker than the first.
â??In the second generation, because thereâ??s so many of them, diseases and parasites wills tart to multiply in the population, killing some of them off. So, weâ??re very hopeful that the second generation wonâ??t be as significant as the first.â??
Armed with crop scouts watching his crops everyday, and pesticides to apply when needed, farmers like John Hourigan will be ready to wage another battle against the invading army worms.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The Roadrunner men's golf team is set to take on the GCU Invitational this weekend in Phoenix, Ariz., Mar. 17-18. The two-day tournament will feature 14 teams playing 54 holes of golf as CSU Bakersfield continues its march toward the Western Athletic Conference Tournament at the end of April.
"We are excited to play in this new event with a lot of great teams we have never seen before," said Meggan Bunker, Head Coach of CSUB's men's team. "It's a whole new challenge on a long golf course. We are ready for the challenge and looking forward to seeing how we compare to top NCAA golf teams!"
The 14-team field consists of LMU, Northern Illinois, Wichita State, Indiana, Utah Valley, South Dakota, Omaha, CSU Bakersfield, UMKC, Columbia, Southern Utah, Duke, GCU, Eastern Michigan. With Missouri sending five student-athletes to compete as individuals, the Roadrunners' five golfers will be among 75 golfers in Phoenix.
Bunker will send her top five golfers to compete this weekend. Junior Nathan Green is leading all 'Runners this season with an average of 75.84 strokes per round and will look to pace CSUB again as he has in two of the last three tournaments. Right behind Green has been freshman Dominick Hoover. The native of Monterey Bay, Calif. has led the 'Runners in two of the last four tournaments in an impressive debut season.
Joining Green and Hoover at Grand Canyon's tournament this weekend will be freshman Warren Miller, senior Izzad Ibrahim, and junior Garry Cai. Miller and Ibrahim both average under 78 strokes per round on the season while Cai has come on as of late, posting his best 54-hole tournament score of the season at CSUB's last tournament in Elk Grove, Calif.
CSU Bakersfield and the rest of the field will tee off at 8 a.m. with shotgun starts on both Friday and Saturday. Live stats for the tournament will be available through GolfStat.com and can be accessed at this link.


text: Pro athletes adding yoga to fitness routine By Atlanta Journal-Constitution February 16, 2013 Story Share McClatchy Newspapers Atlanta Hawks player Zaza Pachulia is seen in a supported shoulder stand at an Atlanta event last month as part of NBA Fit Live Healthy Week. The NBA players there encouraged youngsters to eat their vegetables, study hard in school, get plenty of sleep and try new things -- in this case, yoga. ATLANTA -- Atlanta Hawks center Zaza Pachulia slips out of his sneakers, kneels on a yoga mat and exhales.Sitting on the back of his heels, Pachulia lowers his upper body onto his thighs. He stretches his arms out in front of him. With his body folded, only his long arms hint at his towering height of 6 feet 11 inches. Clad in baggy gray sweatpants, Pachulia smoothly glides from one yoga pose to the next -- downward-facing dog, warrior pose and the tree pose.It's a bit of an unexpected behind-the-scenes moment for an athlete known for playing a very physical game, not afraid to mix it up on the court.Yet, this player best remembered by Hawks fans for his altercation with Celtics star Kevin Garnett in the 2008 playoffs credits yoga with helping his flexibility and balance and making his body feel good -- before and after games.Pachulia also noticed something else."Guess what happened," Pachulia said with a big smile. "My jump shot got better."Three seasons ago, the Hawks hired yoga instructor Michelle Young to incorporate yoga into their training regimen. It's part of a growing trend of professional athletes turning to this ancient discipline to stay on the cutting edge to help players stave off injuries and keep playing.The Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers have also reportedly hired yoga instructors.Walt Thompson, associate dean for graduate studies and research in the College of Education at Georgia State University, said while weaving yoga into a training program is not a particularly new idea, he believes it's a "wise" investment. Thompson said several studies suggest yoga can improve flexibility and reduce injuries, especially muscle strains and joint sprains that can keep athletes out of action.With the demands of travel and a schedule of 80-plus games, Hawks strength and conditioning coach Jeff Watkinson said players are constantly battling muscle tightness and joint stiffness, especially through their ankles, hips, groin, hamstrings and low back. And yoga, he said, can help. (His favorite poses: pigeon pose for hips, triangle pose for hamstrings, groin and hips, and child pose for lower back and ankles.) "When I first started, I heard, 'We are doing what?' and 'Why?'" Young said. "It was hard to wrap their heads around something traditionally out of the norm of what an athlete would do ... but now I hear, 'I am glad you are here,' and 'This is just what I need.' ... When I can take their game to the next level, anything I can do to give them an edge, that feels great."Traditionally, yoga is known for grace and ease and flexibility, but Young's focus is on easing the tension and tightness and soreness. Success to her is not watching a player arch his back or touch his toes -- it's preventing a strained ankle or other physical woe.The yoga sessions, taking place in a room that was once used as a dressing room of sorts, is tailored to each player and also modified, with props that are sometimes needed. An NBA player nearly 7 feet tall may need a block to help touch the floor. Other times, she's in awe of the strength of these super-athletes, watching the players really hold a pose.Young describes the poses instead of using the traditional Sanskrit names. "They don't care if I name the pose. The traditional name of one pose is Adho Mukha Svanasana, and I just say downward-facing dog. ... If they were to come in and express an interest in meditation, I would be all over that, but given I have 30 minutes or an hour, my focus is not 'Let's make sure we are doing things to open our heart,' it's more 'Let's open our chest. We don't want to tear a pectoral muscle.'"Pachulia, who does about one yoga session a week during the season, said he has more time during the off-season to devote to yoga. Still, he said he tries to do 15 minutes of yoga before every game. His favorite poses include the child pose and the triangular pose. Once the game starts, though, pliant poses give way to banging against heft and size underneath the basket. Tranquility has to wait until the next yoga session.Yoga poses for athletesHere are some of Young's favorites:Downward-facing dog: You are supporting yourself with your arms and core, and, at the same time, you are getting a deep stretch you can feel throughout the legs. This pose is a full-body stretch and strengthening pose.Cobra: Lying on your stomach and lifting up into a back bend, this strengthens and stretches your core and back. Corpse: This resting pose completes the practice, and even though you are simply lying on the floor, Young said this pose is important in helping you be mindful of how your body is feeling.For step-by-step instructions on these yoga poses, go to the Yoga Journal at www.yogajournal.com.

Tim Tebow News: Opens PDQ Restaurant In Jacksonville Hometown [VIDEO]
on Nov 02, 2013 12:44 PM EDT
With no NFL prospects on the immediate horizon, Tim Tebow is set to venture into the restaurant business, opening the first PDQ eatery in his hometown of Jacksonville.
According to the Jacksonville Business Journal, Tebow is partners in the new operation with his brother, Robby, with both insisting the new venture is largely fueled by their desire and commitment to creating jobs in their hometown.
Described as a "fast-casual restaurant," PDQ (People Dedicated to Quality) is slated to officially open on Sunday at the intersection of Hodges and Beach boulevards. Managing partner Todd Allen told Business Journal the company ultimately plans to have 10 to 12 local locations, which could create as many as 500 jobs at the eateries that, which specialize in crispy chicken tenders, handcut fries, salads and chicken sandwiches.
Tebow, who was cut in the preseason by the New England Patriots, is on record in remaining committed to working his way back as a NFL quarterback. To date, he has shunned all suggestions that he either consider changing positions or playing in a lesser league to gain more experience.
The 26-year-old Jacksonville native is already evered across Florida, where he won a Heisman Trophy and led the Gators to two national championships in three seasons.

We've all seen bad movies. You can try and avoid them and pick your viewings carefully but, eventually, you'll succumb to some tripe. Maybe you walked blindly into the latest offering by M. Shite Night Shyamalan or Adam Sandler's newest masterpiece. You might even be like me and enjoy scraping the bottom of the barrel. I want the worst to find the best riffing material for a MST3K style evening, albeit without the robots and silhouettes. Whatever category you find yourself in The Asylum is a movie studio you should check out.
In my opinion, the biggest failing of a filmmaker is to make something mediocre. If the film doesn't engage the audience then it just happens and leaves no mark on the viewer. A truly horrible movie can engage the audience just as well as an all time classic. Now, I'm not trying to say that The Asylum has ever produced anything comparable to Citizen Kane, or Citizen Shane as they'd likely call it, but they leave a lasting impact and that's more than I can say about a lot of movies.
Last night, at the request of herself, rather than going to see The Dark Knight Rises we stayed in to watch Real Steel. Nothing about the movie was particularly offencive, apart from Dakota Goyo's acting, and I didn't expect it to be. When the credits rolled I turned it off and that was that; we didn't talk about it or even offer opinions as there was nothing to discuss. If I compare that with a recent viewing of Nazis at the Center of the Earth the differences are like night and day. The acting was bad and the plot and CGI managed to be worse than Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the worst movies I've seen this year and yet it elicited a response similar to that of watching Memento. Film at its most horrendous can be just as enjoyable as film at its most brilliant.
The Asylum is most prolific for their mockbusters, shlockbusters as I prefer to call them, and Nazis falls nicely into this category as a hastily made tag along for Iron Sky which caused quite a stir at this year's Berlin Film Festival. Others include American Warships, previously called American Battleship until Universal filed a copyright lawsuit, 2012: Ice Age (The Day After Tomorrow), Transmorphers and many more. Perhaps their most famous films being Mega Shark versus Crocosaurus, Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus and Mega Piranha for obvious reasons. While Mega Piranha is a take on Piranha 3-D the other two have no direct films associated which is why I prefer my own coinage.
This is why the Asylum is awesome
So, The Asylum makes bad movies and rip-offs. Why would, or should, you care about anything they produce? For the same reason you watch Troll 2, Dolemite or Deadly Prey. The je ne sais quoi that only bottom of the barrel can provide you with and The Asylum has perfected this craft. With an average turnaround from script to finished product of 4 months, with shooting generally allotted 2 weeks and script writing a month, and a budget of much less than $1million per movie The Asylum is a well oiled machine of movie production. David Latt, one of the founding members, states that they've yet to lose money on a production and generally break even after about three months. He prefers the name 'tie-in' for what he makes as his movies, while capitalising on major releases, have original plots independent of their big budget brethren. This is certainly true and, despite the many limitations put in place, such as budget and time constraints, they can eclipse the movies they piggyback; Battle of Los Angeles, in my opinion, is superior to Battle Los Angeles.
Sadly, not all Asylum movies are winners. The Da Vinci Treasure left me as cold as the Tom Hanks version. Sherlock Holmes was saved only by the glorious Iron Man/T-Rex fight and the less said about Sunday School Musical the better. With 121 in 15 years there had to be some stinkers but with a little perseverance, and after acquiring the taste, there's method to the madness at the heart of The Asylum.
Keep Avengers, I'll take Almighty Thor. Enjoy Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter but Abraham Lincoln vs. zombies is more fun. Go watch The Dark Knight Rises because I'll watch... No, wait, do go see that.
A great film is thought provoking but an Asylum movie is fun.

A PROMINENT town centre building in Accrington could be given a new lease of life after being put up for sale.
The large, three-storey corner building, in Blackburn Road, was home to controversial lap dancing club iCandy, which closed its doors recently.
It will now go under the gavel, to the delight of deputy council leader Clare Pritchard, who lives in the town. Deputy council leader Clare Pritchard said: "I'm glad it's up for auction. A lot of buildings are left to rot and that's a problem for the council.
"This shows there's an interest in property in Accrington, and we hope it falls into the hands of someone who brings it back into use."
The 8,826 sq ft building currently houses a Thomson Holidays retail unit, as well as the vacant club upstairs and an empty restaurant downstairs. It is expected to fetch around £250,000 when the gavel slams down in Manchester on February 27, commercial property auctioneers Pugh & Co said on its website.
And Coun Pritchard said she would expect the new owner to be a night club owner or restaurateur, given the building's current facilities.
She said: "As long as the new owner is a responsible owner who looks after and maintains the building, I'm not that fussed."
iCandy opened as the town's first lap dancing club in July 2012 despite a huge campaign against it. Opposition was lodged by residents, who voiced their concern over safety and an increase in crime, and a 1,500-strong petition was handed to the council.
The club withdrew an application to renew its sexual entertainment licence in October, although it still held an alcohol licence, a spokesperson for Hyndburn Council said yesterday.
l Two pubs, the Printers, in Union Road, Oswaldtwistle, and the Last Orders, in Blackburn Road, Accrington, are also on Pugh's books, but both are still open for business.

Trump says NFL too worried about players' safety
"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"
Don Bauder 7:15 p.m., Sept. 23
An alleged shootout involving a security guard in Lakeside on April 5 turns out to have been a hoax.
Around 4 a.m. on the 5th, 22 year-old Lance Wright of Bravo 3 Security called Sheriff's deputies and told them he was traveling on Woodside Avenue near the end of the freeway section of Highway 67 when he spotted flashing red lights in his mirror. Wright claimed as he pulled over, a suspect driving a red Suburban SUV fired shots at his vehicle and he returned fire.
Yesterday morning, however, Wright was summoned to the Santee Sheriff's Station by deputies and, upon questioning, admitted his story was made up, aside from the part about using his weapon. His gun was seized as evidence, and he now faces charges of filing a false police report, negligent discharge of a firearm, felony vandalism, and planting evidence.

Beverley Knight
From 1995 onward, Beverley Knight has remained in the British conscious as an outstanding R&B and soul act. From her first hit, "Flava of the Old School" on to Prodigal Sister's "Made it Back," Who I Am's "Woulda Coulda Shoulda" and a slate of releases on her latest album, Affirmation, Knight has always been a standout. Performances for Nelson Mandela and Muhammad Ali, and three MOBO awards (Britain's urban music award), prove that she deserves all the praise she gets.
AppealKnight sure can sing, and she sure can look good too. She has been blessed with a great body and boasts the type of shape we thought only comic book heroines could have. A cute face and mocha skin add to the allure, and make Beverley the spotlight of any stage.
SuccessInfluenced by Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke and Prince, Beverley Knight started her career with the 1995 release, The B-Funk. On the strength of such songs as "Flava of the Old School," Knight became known across the United Kingdom.
It took Knight three years to solidify her standing as a top R&B artist, as she released Prodigal Sista in 1998. The song and hit tracks "Made it Back" and "Greatest Day" won her MOBO awards in 1998 and 1999.
Collaborations with Musiq and Wyclef Jean highlighted her next album, Who I Am (2002), while "Keep This Fire Burning" became a big hit on Knight's latest work, 2004's Affirmation. What Knight did affirm upon release of her fourth album was the title of the United Kingdom's top-selling R&B star.
On top of being a household name and top concert draw in the UK, Knight is also famous for performing, upon request, at a party for David and Victoria Beckham, singing "Happy Birthday" to Muhammad Ali and putting on a concert for Nelson Mandela and legions of fans at South Africa Freedom Day.
Beverley Knight BiographyBorn on March 22, 1972, in Wolverhampton, England, Beverley Knight was actually born Beverley Ann Smith. She adopted the last name "Knight" as a stage name, just as her career began to blossom. Her deeply religious Jamaican parents frowned upon secular music and so Knight grew up on gospel music and joined the choir at the local Pentecostal church.
beverley knight signs with dome records
A singer since the age of 4 and a songwriter since 12, Knight showed signs of great talent from a young age. In 1987, encouraging words from her producer cousin Don-E got the wheels in motion for Beverley and she soon began performing at nightclubs.
Knight worked at it throughout university, where she was studying for a degree in theology, and perhaps it was an act of God that led to her discovery in 1994. While performing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" at a club in England's Midlands, a scout for the independent label Dome Records took note of the aspiring singer.

Knight signed with Dome soon after and moved to London to begin recording. The result was The B-Funk, her very first album, which hit stores in 1995. This debut gave her another first, her first Top 40 hit with "Flava of the Old School."
Just as acclaim for the album and song were rolling in during the spring of 1996, a dispute with Dome Records put future projects that Knight had in mind on hold.

It wasn't until 1997, when Knight had left Dome and signed with Parlophone Records, a major label, that her career seemed safe again. Beverley came back on the R&B scene better than ever, releasing Prodigal Sista in 1998 to almost immediate widespread praise.
The songs "Made it Back" and "Greatest Day" helped Knight win a total of three MOBO awards -- UK's Music of Black Origin awards -- in 1998 and 1999.
beverley knight releases who i am
A few highs and many lows would confront Knight during the making of her third album, the platinum-selling Who I Am. During recording, Knight befriended Tyrone Jamison and they became so close that they rented an apartment together. Soon after though, Jamison was diagnosed with an advanced case of HIV and, just as Knight was wrapping up a promotional tour of her new album in 2002, Jamison was rushed to the hospital with a severe case of pneumonia.
He died in February 2003, and this event, along with a trip to an HIV-ravaged town in Brazil on behalf of Christian Aid five months prior to Tyrone's death, greatly influenced her next album.
beverley knight releases affirmation
Affirmation was released in 2004, and features some of Knight's most introspective, emotional work to date. Upon its release, she had already performed for Muhammad Ali and Nelson Mandela and worked with the likes of Wyclef Jean and Musiq.
Beverley believed that this album was one of her greatest musical accomplishments. The track "Keep This Fire Burning" was a popular radio release and Affirmation continued the string of hit albums that Knight started making in 1995.
beverley knight fights against aids
Big-hearted Knight -- aside from her charitable work in support of the fight against AIDS -- is also a strong supporter of breast cancer-related charities and is an outspoken proponent of gay rights.
Currently, she lives in North London with her boyfriend Kelvin.

Trel Mack ft. Rico Levant - Stormy Weather
Following the success of his free online album, Mack of the Year, Philly rapper Trel Mack continues to cover hip-hop's many bases. As Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J explained to DJBooth in a recent interview, a female fan base is often the most important, because they make up most of the radio audience and essentially determine whether a single is a hit or miss. Taking that advice into consideration, Mack's fan base will no doubt be pleased with his new single, Stormy Weather, which finds the young rapper ready to commit to a serious relationship. Style points are rewarded courtesy of Rico Levant's hookwork and C.E.O. Productions' board work, both of which enhance Stormy Weather's potential hit power (should it be promoted nationwide), and will possibly lead to Trel being a mack in every town across the country.

Studies report findings on colorectal cancer screening methods and survival rates
AGA journals publish important studies during Colorectal Cancer Awareness MonthBethesda, Maryland (March 1, 2006) � Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in the United States. In 2006, an estimated 148,610 people will be diagnosed with the disease and more than 55,000 are expected to die. However, colorectal cancer can be prevented with proper and timely screening and removal of potentially cancerous polyps. In efforts to promote screening for prevention and early detection of colorectal cancer and to increase awareness of the devastating effects of this disease, the American Gastroenterological Association supports National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Screening Significantly Reduces Cancer Deaths in Families with Hereditary Lynch Syndrome
(Shift in Mortality in Lynch Syndrome Families Due to Surveillance, de Jong et al.)
Families with a history of Lynch syndrome who are screened regularly reduce their risk of death by 70 percent, according to a study published in the journal Gastroenterology. Lynch Syndrome, also known as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, is a rare hereditary disorder that usually causes the development of colorectal, endometrial and other forms of cancer. People with the syndrome have a nearly 90 percent risk of developing some form of cancer throughout their lifetime.
Researchers in the Netherlands conducted a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a screening program to look at the prevalence and mortality rates of Lynch Syndrome on a large scale. The program was established in 1987 to promote the early detection of cancer in high-risk families in the Netherlands. The study involved 140 families (2,788 individuals) known to be carriers of the syndrome. Findings show that nearly 75 percent of all deaths in these families were due to cancer, 50 percent of which were from colorectal cancer. Furthermore, there was a 70 percent decrease in the risk of dying from bowel cancer following the establishment of the registry (observed between 1990 and 2004) and screening program.
These findings are important for all patients who are predisposed to develop a hereditary form of bowel cancer because they show that periodic screening by colonoscopy is very effective and has the potential to prevent a majority of deaths from colorectal cancer. Researchers are hopeful that these findings will encourage those with Lynch Syndrome to participate in screening programs and encourage health-care providers to put more emphasis on taking the family history of all patients affected with cancer.
People with IBD-Related CRC Have Similar Prognosis as General Population with CRC
(Colorectal Cancer Prognosis Among Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Delaunoit et al.)
Historically, it has been thought that people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at a significantly higher risk of developing and dying from colorectal cancer than those who develop it sporadically. However, findings of a study published in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology show that people with IBD-related colorectal cancer survive just as long as with the disease as those without IBD. Typically, those with IBD have a more advanced form of colorectal cancer when diagnosed and have more cancerous tumors present.
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN conducted a study to compare the survival rates of subjects with IBD-related colorectal cancer to those who developed the disease sporadically. Study participants (n = 290 with IBD and 290 without IBD) were gathered from a review of existing medical records at the Mayo Clinic of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer between 1976 and 1996. The study found that IBD patients were diagnosed with colorectal cancer at a relatively young age and that their tumors tend to be more evenly distributed throughout the colon and rectum than those who develop the disease sporadically. Survival rates for the disease were similar for those with IBD and without, 55 percent and 53 percent respectively.
Researchers urge patients with IBD and their health-care providers to discuss the potential risks of developing colorectal cancer and implement a surveillance program to monitor their disease, if necessary. The earlier the stage of the disease when it is diagnosed, the better the prognosis or survival outcome, say study authors.
Self-Propelling, Self-Navigating Mini-Endoscope May be Effective for CRC Screening
(The Aer-O-Scope: Proof of Concept of A Pneumatic, Skill-Independent, Self-Propelling, Self-Navigating Colonoscope, Vucelic et al.)
According to a study in this month�s issue of Gastroenterology, a self-propelling, self-navigating device called the Aer-O-Scope was found to be as effective as standard colonoscopes in moving throughout the colon. The device also proved efficient without the need for the sedation that is normally required during traditional colonoscopy in more than 80 percent of those people studied.
Researchers from the United States, Croatia and Israel conducted a study that involved 12 young, healthy volunteers between the ages of 20 and 43 who underwent examination with the Aer-O-Scope technology. Each participant underwent a complete bowel cleansing before the procedure and a standard colonoscopy following the procedure to ensure safety and detect any potential internal bleeding. The procedure proved to be effective (navigation through the entire colon was achieved in 83 percent of the patients), time-efficient (time for each procedure ranged between 15 and 35 minutes) and safe (no patients experienced significant adverse events).
According to these researchers, patients who tolerate the procedure without sedation can expect to leave the procedure and resume their daily activity, avoid the need to have a family member or friend drive them home and may avoid the potential risks and costs of conscious or unconscious sedation. More information on colorectal cancer is available at www.gastro.org.
About Colorectal Cancer Screening
Guidelines of multiple agencies and professional societies underscore the importance of screening for all individuals 50 years of age and older. Currently, there are a number of tests that may be used to screen for colorectal cancer, the second-leading cancer killer in the United States. Approved tests include barium enema, fecal occult blood test, flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy. Each screening option has advantages and disadvantages, and patients should consult their physician on the most appropriate test.

1. Romney will win by a landslide - in the demographic America of 1980. I don't know what happens in the country we're actually living in. My guess is a narrow Obama win but I wouldn't bet my own money on it.
2. Ross Douthat wrote a terrific (and fair!) appreciation of Romney. I'll have my own favorable thoughts on Romney up later in the week. I'll give you a taste: Romney and Santorum were the only Republican presidential candidates who treated the primary voters with respect. Yeah, you read that right. I don't take back any of my earlier criticisms of Romney. If Romney loses (under fairly favorable circumstances for a challenger), his own weaknesses will have had something to do with it. But even more important will be the demographic and messaging weaknesses of the Republican Party and the right-of-center generally. Romney didn't cause any of those weaknesses and it would be asking too much to expect him to fix them all by himself.

Well, well, well, turns out Andrew Breitbart was right, not that I had any doubt:
A new study of the OWS movement in New York found that many of the protesters were highly educated and not nearly as down on their luck as they portrayed.
A third of protesters in the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York lived in households earning more than $100,000 and more than two- thirds were employed professionals, according to the study from CUNY's Joseph A. Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies.
The study also showed the movement was mostly organized by experienced political operatives and nearly all of those involved — 76 percent — were college educated.
Of those, half had graduate degrees and among those with bachelor's degrees, and 28 percent had attended elite universities.
"Occupy Wall Street was not a spontaneous eruption but rather an action carefully planned by committed activists," the study concluded.
Additionally, the study found that the protesters were also disproportionately men — 55 percent — and many were white.
In other words, the elites.
Oh, to be burdened with such guilt…and ignorance.
Personally, I'm glad I attended a community college and have a better grasp of things from my autodidactic education than these unwashed, self-hating would be hippies do.
If you haven't seen the Breitbart movie "Occupy Unmasked," you should take the time to watch it.
It tells you most of the above, only better:

I used to have an AA car policy which I cancelled this year after discovering that I could get better comprehensive cover for around 40% less than what The AA had quoted.
Despite the fact that I had cancelled in writing before renewal, The AA started sending threatening letters and phone calls about missed payments (fortunately I was shrewd enough to cancel the direct debit via my bank in good time to ensure no payments went out). I felt that the AA was well out of line so, lodged a formal complaint and guess what… more phone calls and now nasty text messages.
Having done some research I realize that The AA has been treating lots of their customers badly. Where is the Office of Fair Trading when there's a clear pattern of rip-off behaviour? I bet they are waiting for BBC Watchdog or Rogue Traders to do all the hard work so that they can step in at the last minute and claim the glory.

We saw the signs at Mayhem Fest (check out our coverage), but it's finally happening: after telling several media outlets that Disturbed's immediate future is uncertain, singer David Draiman has confirmed via Twitter that the band are on indefinite hiatus.
Rampant speculation has been underway, wondering if this is the end of the band, suggesting others have other projects about to take flight, and more. Draiman addressed the rumors in 140 character form, stating simply: "We haven't said that we're breaking up. We simply do not know yet," the singer wrote. "All I can say is we are going on an indefinite hiatus"
Draiman previously told Active Rock KQXR/Boise that the band has no U.S. touring plans beyond the current Mayhem Fest, which ends on August 14. "We don't know what we're doing. We're not gonna do our own thing either," Draiman told KQXR. "This is going to be the last tour that the American people get to see us in for a while, if not indefinitely. We have some things going on internally, we have some personal things going on. So I don't know. It's hard to tell."
It appears that the band has taken a diplomatic and unified approach to the decision, not going into extensive detail about the split. Guitarist Dan Donegan spoke to KEGL/Dallas last Wednesday, and gave an even more vague answer than his frontman, though indicating the rigors of the professional musician's routine had begun to wear on the band. "Ever since the start of this band, we've always had a game plan of what comes next after each thing. So it's always been 'write, record, tour, let's go home for a month, let's start writing again, do the same thing all over again", Donegan said on KEGL.
"This time around, we just haven't really gotten to those discussions yet," he continued. "We know that we're coming to the end of this touring cycle and we just haven't planned on what we want to do next." He added, "I don't have a clear answer, because I'm not sure where everybody's head's at at the moment other than we're having a great time out on tour, we're going out big, we're carrying big production, we wanna end this on a big note. I think we're not ready to sit down and have the discussions of when we want to get back together or if we're going to. So we're kind of winging it."

Now that I'm finally registered I can sign up for the 5:30 or 5:45 ferry or NJ bus (looks like Manhatten bus is full). From other race reports it seems like this is recommended anyway?
Also is it easy to get a cab that early in the am to the ferry? How does the ferry work (ie is the more than one and you wait in a line like the Boston busses?) Since there are only two times it seems like it would be organized (but I could see the 5:30 taking til 6am to get moving? do people really check what ferry you're on?

Giancarlo Quadalti's new eatery will have a Tuscan theme, but the location is still TBD.
We are told, by a source very close to the project, that a high-end Italian restaurant drawing on the cuisine of Emilia-Romagna is in the works for Williamsburg. It's still a few months out, but the place has a proud pedigree: The chef will be Giancarlo Quaddalti, whose elemental regional Italian cooking has earned neighborhood followings at midtown's Teodora, the Upper West Side's Celeste, and the East Village's Bianca. Our source, an Italian national with only a slippery grasp of Williamsburg geography, tells us that it will be on Grand Street just off Bedford, but an exact address was asking too much.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet ) -- Gold prices were trading sideways Wednesday on light technical trading, an indication the yellow metal may have to wait until 2011 to see more momentum. Gold for February delivery settled $1.40 lower to $1,387.40 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price traded as high as $1,391.70 and as low as $1,385.60 during Wednesday's session. The spot gold price was adding 50 cents, according to Kitco's gold index. The U.S. dollar index was flat at $80.73 while the euro was down 0.08% to $1.30 vs. the dollar. China announced it would buy €4-5 billion in Portuguese bonds, according to reports. China in recent years had been selling euros for dollars but changed its tune Tuesday when the country announced it would support the European Union's fight against sovereign debt. Gold prices will probably remain stagnant for the rest of the week as trading gradually thins out ahead of the long holiday weekend. "Many times holiday markets are choppy," says George Kleinman, president of Commodity Resource. Kleinman is still bullish on gold prices over the long term and thinks prices could hit $1,600 in 2011. For now though Kleinman says gold "has been in a downtrend that ended last week and the short term trend will probably chop around a bit with an upward bias." For his part, Kleinman is sitting out the last two weeks of the year, preferring to eschew trading as volume deteriorates. "I don't see much happening in the next week or so" he says. Gold prices got some support from news that the International Monetary Fund has completed the sale of 403 tons of gold originally announced in September 2009. Many analysts had been worried that a large gold sale would lead to an oversupply in the market and lower prices. Gold prices weathered the storm well, helped by ballooning investment demand. During the same time frame, the SPDR Gold Shares ( GLD), the largest gold exchange-traded fund, added 236.19 tons, more than half of what the IMF was selling. "The fact that the IMF could sell over 400 tons of gold in such a short space of time, with no market disruption, demonstrates how deep and liquid the gold market is," says Natalie Dempster, director of Government Affairs for the World Gold Council, the sponsor of the GLD. "It also reflects the fact that the majority of gold sales were conducted off market with central banks."

Unknown Artist
Korvar (ancestor figure holding a shield)
- Location
- Not on display
- Further information
Korvar ancestor figures produced in Cendrawasih Bay like this one would have been used to summon and temporarily house the spirit of ancestor who may be called upon to adjudicate a matter or to ensure success in a certain venture. Korvar are made following a person's death and the deceased person's soul or spirit is believed to dwell in the carved wooden figure. The process is accompanied by specific rituals, after which the family of the deceased wraps the sculpture in cloth and store it in the family house. The figure is brought out before important undertakings, such as a battle or extended fishing trips. The priest taps the korvar on the ground to bring the ancestor spirit into the image, explains the plans to the spirit and inquires about the outcome. The korvar is then re-stored after this ceremony. After a number of new korvars are made, family members take the older examples to the cemetery and place each with the skeleton of the person for whom it was carved.
Whilst this figure holds a shield others sometimes hold the skull of the deceased which is believed to accommodate the spirit and sometimes a snake is present to represent powers of rejuvenation. On the Tanibar Islands in south Moluccas similar ancestor statues exist that are formally comparable with the korvar made by Biak people of New Guinea. Like the korvar these figures known as Iene are depicted squatting with their arms resting upon their bent knees-sometimes they hold a carved shield or emblem and can appear with a single earring pendant in either ear.

The Virgin Blue group's long-haul subsidiary V Australia has grounded one of its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in Los Angeles after it experienced unspecified engine problems and aborted its takeoff mid-roll.
The incident occurred shortly before 23:00hr on 13 April on flight VA2 departing Los Angeles International's runway 25R for Sydney. The aircraft shortly thereafter exited the runway.
A V Australia spokesman was unable to confirm if the General Electric GE90 powerplant experienced an engine surge or how long the aircraft would be out of service, saying the carrier was awaiting a preliminary report into overnight engineering inspections. The report is due this morning in Australia.
According to air traffic control recordings, the crew of VA2 reported to the Los Angeles tower at the time of the incident: "Our engine functions appear to be normal but there seems to be something of significant impact - I'm not sure it's the nose gear or the main gear."
Another airline crew responded: "We happened to look at the front of that aircraft when he aborted and I saw some sort of spark near the nose gear. I don't know if there was a blown nose gear tyre but it looked like it might have been that."
A third airline crew reported they saw a "fireball out of your number one engine".
V Australia has chartered a Boeing 747-400 from Air New Zealand (ANZ) "to maintain schedule integrity". The carrier has so far cancelled the affected VA2 flight as well as today's Brisbane-Los Angeles service.
The ANZ 747 will operate today from Australia to Los Angeles and then make the return journey. The spokesman could not say how long the aircraft would be chartered for but that he expects it to complete "at least a few sectors".
V Australia says it is accommodating passengers, including putting them on other carriers' flights.
