Bioshock Infinite Review
You play Bioshock Infinite as Booker DeWitt, journeying through Columbia, a city in the sky over 1912 America run by religious zealots. Your mission is to bring a girl named Elizabeth back to New York for reasons unknown. Expect a lot of twists, side plots and pissed-off people with guns looking to take you out along the way.
There's a great deal of complexity and richness to this game's story, which is slowly revealed as you progress through the game and supplemented by finding audio logs and silent films along the way. People who have never played a Bioshock game before won't suffer for it, since Infinite's story is completely independent of the other games. It can be hard to put the game down, since every time you think you've figured something out, you realize the mystery is bigger than you thought.
Infinite is very similar to previous Bioshock games in many ways, with the combat system revolving around using a variety of weapons and 'vigors' (magic spell-like abilities powered by 'salts') to eliminate the many enemies you'll encounter. There are a total of 8 vigors to find, and not only are they very useful, they're pretty much essential on higher difficulties. There are a few unique ones such as the ability to turn an enemy to your side for a time and one that lets you reel in enemies from a distance (which is great for killing those annoying snipers with your shotgun), and there are a few that basically just stun enemies with a different animation and a slightly different mechanic. In addition to your health, which you can only replendish by using food or health kits, you get a shield that slowly refills if you can avoid taking damage for a few seconds, so using cover when your health is low will give you a fighting chance.
There are also passive benefits you can find throughout the game, in the form of Infusions which boost either your health, shield or salt level, and gear items in the form of clothing that you can equip to give yourself a unique benefit, such as the ability to get health by killing with your melee attack or becoming temporarily invulnerable when you consume a health item. There are only 4 slots for gear items but you can keep unequipped items with you and swap to them at any time. Some of the gear items are very clearly superior to others, but a few will actually require some thought as to which one to equip. Regardless, you get rewarded for exploring off the beaten path. The gear seems to be randomized too, meaning you'll find different gear in different areas with each playthrough of the game.
Although every vigor you find can be used anytime you have the salts capacity to perform them, Bioshock Infinite only lets you carry two weapons at a time, which can pose a problem because you don't know ahead of time which weapons you should be using for the situations you'll run into, and there aren't any hints given in the game at all. The ability to carry multiple ammo types, which was a staple of previous Bioshock games, is gone in this one. Sometimes the game provides appropriate weaponry, like a convenient sniper rifle when you're being attacked from long range, and sometimes there's nothing to be found other than whatever your enemies happen to be using. You can find money that lets you upgrade your vigors and weapons, as well as buy ammo, health and salt, although the vending machines that enable you to do this aren't always around when you want them to be and even if they are, you won't be able to afford everything you want so you'll have to carefully choose what to upgrade. The weapons are standard FPS fare, with machine guns, shotguns, various explosives, and rifles and pistols.
The potential to be starved for resources and ammo is one big reason that you'll like having Elizabeth around as an ally for most of the game. She has the ability to bring useful things through from another dimension, such as a mechanical ally, supplies, weapons, cover, or access to higher ground, the only catch being that she can only have one dimensional tear active at one time. She also finds ammo, health and salts for you and occasionally tosses them to you when needed. While she's doing all these things, she stays out of your way and lets you do all the killing. She requires no babysitting during a fight since it's impossible for her to take damage, and she actually moves aside when you point a gun in her vicinity to give you a clear shot, a behavior that more programmers of NPCs in first person shooter games should really be implementing. Even when you're scrounging for supplies from the environment she'll help you out by occasionally tossing you money, and she can pick locks (if you can find enough lockpicks) to access more rewards.
One thing that feels original in Bioshock Infinite is sky-line travel. Sky-lines are rail systems that you can latch onto using the skyhook (which doubles as your only melee weapon) that you get near the start of the game, and sky-lines can be useful in combat since you become much harder to hit while you're on them and you gain the ability to perform sky-line strikes – special melee attacks done by jumping onto enemies from the sky-line, which usually results in an instant kill. The only catch is you can't use your vigors while on a sky-line. There are a few epic battles in the game where you'll have the option to use the sky-lines, and it can be a lot of fun to zip around the area blasting people.
Infinite has the expected easy, medium and hard difficulty levels, and it should be noted that unlike previous Bioshock titles, it's actually a hard game when played on the hardest difficulty, and even less forgiving on the "1999 mode" that you can enable after beating the game once. On the easier difficulties you can just be respawned into the fight if you die with only a slight hit to your bankroll, and skilled players will find themselves tested on 1999 mode, since you have even less health and death is punished by losing a hefty amount of money and not being able to respawn at all if you can't afford the fee.
Despite the well-balanced combat system, there were some battles in the game that just weren't particularly fun to play on my Xbox 360 because the game suffers from serious framerate drops in larger areas that sometimes made aiming with any kind of precision nearly impossible. Even smaller battles can suffer from framerate drops. The graphics can also seem underwhelming, with plenty of cases of the scenery using low-res textures and switching over to high-res only after looking at it for a few seconds.
Another glaring weakness of this game is the terrible autosave system. The game doesn't let you save your progress when you'd like, and checkpoints are infrequent so if you do end up reloading a save point you'll likely have to repeat several minutes of content to get back to where you were, including all the time spent scrounging for items.
There's enough variety in the weapons and vigors to provide a good amount of replay value and the story is great.
Overall, Bioshock Infinite is definitely worth picking up. There's enough variety in the weapons and vigors to provide a good amount of replay value and the story is great. The main drawbacks are the flawed autosave system and the framerate drops. I give it an 8 out of 10 overall.

IT'S A smile that hasn't been seen on the face of Mel Greig for some time.
The embattled radio DJ, who remains on paid leave following the royal radio hoax last year, seemed happy and relaxed at the weekend as she returned to Adelaide to catch up with family and friends after confirming she would appear at the September inquest into the death of UK nurse Jacintha Saldanha.
Greig, pictured with a friend's baby on Instagram, was seen having breakfast at North Adelaide and lunch at Henley Beach with a group of mates on Saturday.
Her boyfriend, ex-North Adelaide SANFL player Steven Pollock, accompanied her down south.
A friend of the 2DayFM host told Confidential it was "great to see her smile again"."They are both happy back here ... let's hope they move back soon," the friend said.
Upon her arrival in Adelaide late last week, an emotional Greig told waiting media she will do whatever the family of Ms Saldanha wanted in a bid to give them the answers "they deserve".
The 46-year-old mother of two took her own life in December, two days after transferring a prank call from Greig and her radio co-host, Michael Christian, to a co-worker at the King Edward VII's Hospital who was assisting Kate Middleton with acute morning sickness in the early stages of her pregnancy.
"If they want me to go over for (the inquest) I will, but it's up to them," Greig said.
"If they want me to do it by video link I will do that.
"I just want the family to get the answers. That's what they need and that is what they deserve."
Last week British newspaper The Sunday Times claimed one of the suicide notes Ms Saldanha wrote blames Greig and Christian for her decision and requested they be forced to pay her mortgage.
While the inquest was set down to begin this month, it has since been delayed until September.
Greig is said to have hired her own lawyers and will appear at the inquest independent of her employer, Southern Cross Austereo.

Well, isn't it interesting that darwin never has appeared anywhere – except where he isn't invited – school textbooks. I still don't believe in him. I guess he has to evolve somewhere, not appear. Right. I hope he's evolving into an earthworm down there in that grave. I'll take him fishing.
Maybe he came back as a frog?
Somebody get him a sandwich! Oh… wait, nevermind. Sorry!
Piltdown man is a troll.
Also, that looks kind of like a homely woman picking her nose with her pinky.
or Frank Zappa?
The BA thinks it is Roger Hodgson, from Super Tramp. We may have a winner there…although the woman picking her nose is pretty good.
You can name all the rock stars you want – but not one person has notice that the field to the North West of this image on google maps is another picture of Christ (Top of the triangle field which you cant see in the image) And why has no one mentioned Violinski from E.L.O?
maybe it is just me, but I see a woman's face there…

Can Kenny Britt Get His Act Together and Other AFC South Must-ReadsFebruary 11, 2013
When Randy Moss tells a wideout to shape up his act, it's a sign something has gone seriously askew.
Today's article of the day comes from Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean, who says Moss has interesting words about Kenny Britt.
Moss, freely admitting his own missteps, said of Britt:
Kenny Britt is a young receiver who can get in that A.J. Green, Julio Jones mix if he wants to, and does the things to make it happen. But his is more mental than it is physical. I hope it works out for him because he is quite a talent. That guy could be special.
Moss' comments about Britt were entirely positive, calling himself "a big fan of his," but the fact that they were even necessary highlights the unpleasant roller-coaster of off-field incidents that has marred Britt's tenure in Tennessee.
The problem with potential-laden head cases is that eventually teams get tired of waiting on the promise of unrealized production and are forced to focus on the headaches that come with them.
Moss knows that all too well. He was perhaps the most dominant offensive weapon in NFL history when he wanted to be, but all too often, he was disinterested in reaching his full potential. That forced him to five different teams in what should have been his prime.
Britt has only worn one jersey, but if he doesn't pull it together soon, he'll find himself in new colors as well.

African American Health
Down Syndrome
How many African American newborns are born with down syndrome?
The incidence of Down syndrome is the same for all races - about 1 in 800 newborns. So whatever the proportion of infants born that is African American - that should give a rough estimate of the number of African American infants with Down syndrome.
I found information about the 2002 year's vital statistics in the medical journal, Pediatrics. According to the article, there were 4,019, 280 babies born in the US in 2002. Of that number, 80% were white (3,177,626). And, there were about 15% black infants born (606,156). If about 1 in 800 infants of all races born have Down syndrome, you would expect that approximately 15% of those babies - who would be Black - would have Down syndrome. In this case the number would be about 120 African American infants born with Down syndrome in 2002.
I did not find any information about numbers regarding specific racial groups from the Down Syndrome Association, but you might contact them to see if they have better information. Their web site is below.

SJU Sponsors 40th Annual Conference on the Holocaust
'Crisis and Credibility in the Jewish-Christian World' honors Franklin H. Littell
Friday, February 19, 2010
PHILADELPHIA (Feb.18, 2010) – The Annual Scholars' Conference on the Holocaust and the Churches, an international conference dedicated to teaching, learning and remembering the lessons of the Holocaust while examining the churches' struggle and failure to confront Nazi anti-Semitism and "the Final Solution," will be held at Saint Joseph's University from March 6-8.
The conference was co-founded in 1970 by the late Franklin H. Littell, universally acknowledged as the father of Holocaust studies in America. This year's conference theme, "Crisis & Credibility in the Jewish-Christian World: Remembering Franklin H. Littell," honors his life and work.
"I am delighted to welcome these internationally renowned scholars and guests to Philadelphia and Saint Joseph's University for this vital conference," said University President Timothy R. Lannon, S.J., the honorary chair for 2010. "The conference's focus on human rights and social justice mirrors such an essential component of our University's mission. We are proud to participate in the 40th anniversary of this conference in such a meaningful way."
SJU previously hosted four other Scholars' conferences. Notably, in 2000, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel was the keynote speaker, and received an Honorary Doctorate from the University. William Madges, Ph.D., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Nancy Fox, Ph.D., associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, are the overall 2010 conference co-chairs. Rabbi Richard Libowitz, Ph.D., adjunct professor of theology, who introduced the first Holocaust course taught at SJU, is program chair.
Littell, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 91, was an ordained Minister of the United Methodist Church and former chair of the religion department at Temple University. He first encountered Nazism in Germany in July 1939, as a young pastor leading a delegation of Methodist youth to a world conference. Stopping in Nuremburg, he engaged in a heated discussion with an S.S. officer regarding the intentions of Adolf Hitler.
Later, Littell served for nearly 10 years in the occupation and de-Nazification of Germany as the Chief Protestant Religious Officer in the High Command. He was deeply affected by his experience, and dedicated the rest of his career to speaking, teaching and researching religious freedom, Jewish-Christian relations, human rights and the Holocaust. His book, The Crucifixion of the Jews, was the first Christian response to the Holocaust.
The conference, which is interfaith, international and interdisciplinary, will bring scholars, experts, survivors and community leaders to speak on topics ranging from the failure of mainstream media to cover the fate of European Jews during World War II – Laurel Leff, Ph.D., of Northeastern University, author of Buried by The Times: The Holocaust and America's Most Important Newspaper – to contemporary Holocaust denial. Participants in the five plenary sessions, 16 breakout sessions and a special Teachers' Institute will come from all over North America as well as Australia, Belarus, England, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Japan and Russia.
John McCall, Ph.D., director of SJU's Pedro Arrupe Center for Business Ethics, will participate in a plenary titled "Professional Ethics After Auschwitz: How We Have Changed, or Have We?" The final plenary, a panel discussion on the church crisis discussing three institutional responses to early persecution of the Jews and Kristallnacht, known as the Night of Broken Glass, will be led by leaders from the United States. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
Two free community programs will be held at Campion Student Center. A memorial to Littell is scheduled for Sunday, March 7, at 7:30 p.m.; Rabbi Dr. Irving Greenburg will speak on Monday, March 8, at 7 p.m. Reservations for both evenings can be made at email@example.com or 610-660-1240.
International community leaders Dr. Felix Zandman and his wife Ruta will be honored with the Eternal Flame Award at the closing conference dinner on Monday, March 8, at 6 p.m. Reservations and a fee are required, and can be arranged at 610-660-1240.
To register for the conference, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 610-660-1240. All conference activities will be held at Mandeville Hall. A program is available for download at http://www.sju.edu/academics/cas/resources/holocaust/.

I want to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 12.04
From what I've read, I think I need to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and then to 12.04. The suggestion in Ubuntu User Magazine about upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04 is NOT
to use the accompanying DVD, rather to do the Upgrades via the Website. What will happen if I try that at this point? Will I be able to stop at 10.04 and from there use the 12.04 DVD to go from 10.04 to 12.04?
I recommend you back up all your files and documents and do a fresh install of 12.04.
I did this and found the following
1. As recommended by snowpine, backup everything and did a fresh install
2. after the upgrade my network card stopped working. I need to run some commands after reboot everytime to start the Network Manager.
3. The sound card also had some issues.
I was running (ubuntu 8.xx) and 10.04 for 3 years never had issues.
just to be sure I would check the compatibility of the drivers before upgrading
Excellent point by newpreludeking that you should test-drive 12.04 before committing to the upgrade. There have been a great many changes in Ubuntu over the past 4 years, which you should evaluate via Live CD/USB before making your decision.
If you have a good internet connection, you can type this in command-line:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Hope that helps.
^--- don't do that.

How to Install a R2C 4.0L V6 Air Intake onto a Ford Mustang
The air intake system on your Ford Mustang plays a vital role in not only the appearance and sound of your vehicle, but also on the vehicle's overall power and ability to accelerate. Air intake systems are one of the main parts of any Mustang maintenance or customization procedure, and these systems are crucial to the overall ability of your car to function properly. In order to install an R2C 4.0L V6 Mustang air intake into your vehicle, read on for a general outline.
Remove the Original Air Intake System
The first step toward replacing the air intake system on your
Mustang, after you've purchased the necessary parts and supplies, is to
remove the previous air intake system. In order to do that, you'll
first need to remove the intake tube from the throttle body on the
fender of the car. Most intake tubes on Mustangs are attached by
clamps, which you'll have to loosen in order to remove the hose.
Next, remove the air box that's attached to the intake tube by
loosening the screws that connect it to the intake system. After this,
you'll need to jack up the rear of the car and remove the lower portion
of the intake system, located just below the air box. At this point,
you'll have removed the air intake system for your car and you're ready
to install the new R2C cold air intake system on your Mustang.
Add the New Intake System
Take the intake tube from the new intake system and feed it up
through the engine of the Mustang until it winds back out to where you
can attach it to the air filter. The filter is located on the fender of
the car.
Add the second tube from the new cold air intake system to the
throttle body inside of the fender, to the same place where the first
tube was connected.
There will likely also be a connector that you can use to attach the
two tubes together. Do so according to the instructions on the air
intake system that you're installing. Finally, you'll need to secure
all of the tubes in place using a large nut and wrenches of various
If you have any questions about which air intake system is best for
your Mustang, or if you have any problems with the installation process
as you work on adding the new intake system to your car, ask a
professional for advice.

When we requested one on one interviews with the cast of American Reunion, we were surprised that the one we landed was Tara Reid. We expected her to be very guarded about her comeback, but she was warm and open and congenial, although kept it brief. When Vicki (Reid) goes to her high school reunion, she catches up with her old boyfriend Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), who is now married. They actually behave while the rest of their classmates get into more raunchy trouble than ever.
CraveOnline: Has Kevin and Vicki's journey always been about not staying together?
Tara Reid: You know, it kind of is. They broke up in the first one and they never got back together since but they've remained friends. I think they have a respect and a mutual first love and they'll never forget each other, they're always going to be in each other's hearts but they've moved on with their lives. But they still don't forget where they came from.
In the second one, it seemed Kevin was the one feeling left out. This time maybe Vicki feels that. Was that an important reversal?
Yeah, because so much time has gone by and he's now moved on and gotten married and has kids. Vicki picked a totally different career. She now lives in New York City and she's a career girl. It's kind of like Sex and the City. Now she's in her 30s and going, "Uh-oh, did I do the right thing? Could I pick love? Am I going to start getting married and have kids? I don't even have a boyfriend yet." I think all those questions are going through her head and she's realizing it.
Were you sad they didn't get back together in 2 and she wasn't at the wedding in 3?
No, that's just not the way it was written. It was not the way the storyline came out. I'm happy with the way everything has gone.
What was it like to recreate the poster in exactly the same pose?
It was hilarious. We're all like, "What do we look like? Okay, this, that." It was really fun.
Did you follow any of the straight to video movies?
No, I didn't see all of them, no. Because it was like American Pie Presents, but it wasn't American Pie.
A big part of this movie is how uncomfortable the guys are with the new high school generation. Do you ever have moments of, "Was I like that when I was that age?"
I think my high school experience and my American Pie Reunionwas really part of this movie. I think you caught us at such a young age and now you're catching us all these years later so it's almost like life imitating art.
The first movie was such a launching pad. What opportunities and pressures did that bring you?
Well, we didn't realize that the first one was going to be the first one. We had no idea that it was going to be a hit. We just thought we were making this film and it turned out to be incredible. I'm very proud and honored that I got to be a part of this amazing franchise.
I think you look lovely in the film. Was it important to show you've still got it?
Sure, why not? Why not? Yeah, life's good. I feel good. I think 30s today is like the new 20s so we're all good.
How often do you get American Pie or Big Lebowski references in daily life?
All the time. People come up to me, "Oh, you're the girl from American Pie." Any really good Lebowski fans will always ask me to quote my famous line in The Big Lebowski. They love Bunny Lebowski and "The Dude abides." So I've been lucky to be a part of a lot of great cult films.
Have you ever been to a Lebowski Fest?
No, I want to go. Every time they've had it I've had to work, I've been out of town but I've heard so many crazy stories about them.
You have the distinct honor of having worked with Uwe Boll also. What was that experience like?
I liked Uwe. Everyone thinks he's this tough German guy. I liked him. I think he has a sweet heart somewhere inside of him. People get scared of him. I think he's fantastic.
Well he did beat up some of his critics.
Did that really happen? I didn't know if that was real. He never beat me up. He was very nice to me.
Of course, you were being nice to him.
Yeah, I liked him. He was nice to me and he was great.
There's also a lot of Josie and the Pussycats love online these days.
I love Josie and the Pussycats. It was a great film. We had so much fun. Rosario Dawson became a good friend of mine through that film. I think that movie almost was ahead of its time in a certain way. It was all about secret branding and marketing, pink is the new red and Nike is the new Adidas. It was before all this really happened. I think it almost missed its target there.
Have you gotten a chance to feel that love from people?
Yeah, people go, "Oh, I love Josie and the Pussycats." It's one of those films that people that have seen it get it. But if you haven't seen it, you don't get it.
What's coming up for you?
I have another movie coming out called The Fields. Right now we're just kind of figuring out what we're doing next. I might do some television and just reading scripts and hopefully you're going to get another big hit.
Are you back for good?
I've never been away but yeah, hopefully.

Kuemmel's Corner: Learning first-hand what goes into being a Marine
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Marine Corps' Educators Workshop in California. The Marine Corps pays to send teachers, coaches, counselors, and administrators to its Recruit Depot in San Diego for five days. The main purpose is to help educators learn more about this branch of the military, including the recruiting process, basic training boot camp, and the many careers available in the Marine Corps. Educators are also able to learn valuable leadership skills that can be transferred to our schools.
Our first day started on the famous "yellow footprints" where every Marine recruit stands when they first arrive to the Recruit Depot. We also got a small glimpse into what it feels like to work with a USMC drill instructor. That afternoon we had the chance to eat lunch with a recruit currently in the middle of boot camp. This lunch made me realize how much the recruits give up during this basic training. For 12 plus weeks, the only contact that they have with the outside world is by letter writing. No TV, cell phones, emails, nothing! The student that I talked to was not even sure what teams were in the Super Bowl or who won the game. Their one special treat was a 15 minute phone call home on Christmas day. That afternoon we also got to experience the physical demands the recruits had to endure to make them ready to be a Marine. This combat fitness test includes a half-mile run, lifting weights, and an agility/obstacle course done on a football field (look for Coach E to incorporate some of this into his summer workouts with the students!). The second day was spent at Air Station Miramar, where much of the air training is done for the Marines (yes, the Marines also fly planes). We also had a chance to walk through the Marine Museum and hear first-hand stories from a retired Marine.Our third day was spent at Camp Pendleton, where they do much of the marksmanship, field, and water training for the Marines. On our final day we were able to witness the graduation day parade for the platoons that had successfully made it through their 12-week training. The joy on these young men's faces (women are trained on the east coast) was priceless, both to be done with training as well as to see their families for the first time in three months.
By no means are the Marines trying to turn the educators into recruiters. In fact, it is almost the exact opposite. If the educators are more informed on what it takes to be a Marine, they can help educate high school students that they believe would be successful in this branch of the military.
The entire experience really made me aware of how much work goes in to being a Marine, and made me appreciate all of the service men and women in all branches of our military.
Semper fidelis.
-Phil Kuemmel, Park High School Activities Director

Senator Simitian's position is still far short of opposition to this ongoing fiasco. What exactly is it about this project that is keeping him from coming out against it definitively, instead of just urging that CHSRA do some more thinking about it before the legislature gives CHSRA matching funds? Could his approach be a Simitian variation on the 'death by a thousand cuts' strategy, one that obviates any need for him to stand up and oppose the project unambiguously? Or is there something else at work here beneath the surface that I am overlooking, like an upcoming political campaign that requires not alienating voters who support this HSR project, such as potential construction workers, hardware providers, and consultants?

Spendng decisions should prevail over financing decisions.
High Speed Rail advocates have it backwards. They are saying we should do this project because funds are available, even though the project is seriously questionable.
I don't like Sarah Palin, but I do credit her for killing a "bridge to nowhere" that was funded and not needed. This is no different.

The Democratic Governor and the Democratic majorities in the Legislature need to terminate the High Speed Rail project before it becomes an issue in the 2014 general election that will enable the Republicans to win the Governorship and a majority of the Assembly and State Senate seats.
The proposals by Senator Joe Simitian and Assemblyman Jerry Hill to delay for a year the final decision to terminate the project so that it does not affect their short term interests in this year's election will just make it harder next year for the Democrats in Sacramento to think of their long term interests and make a decision to terminate the project in the face of a potential initiative measure from the Republicans and their Tea Party allies that asks the voters to terminate the High Speed Rail project at the November 2014 election.

The CA HSR project has been a fraud from the get go. I read the ballot initiative and thought its assumptions and claims to be absurd and voted against it. It seems that the only supporters of this greasy pork filled sausage on rails are the CA HSR Authority, big labor unions, and their indebted politicians. Every authoritative review of the CA HSR project, that was not a result of the CA HSR spin machine, has uniformly criticized every aspect of this project. Seemingly, no leaf has been left unturned, and the conclusion years after the ballot initiative is that it's a bigger fraud now, than it was when it was hatched by the ballot initiative process. Is any one still surprised by this? Sadly, apparently so, enter Joe.
In spite of being confronted by one sobering report after another, Joe Simitian still isn't sure what to do. Stopping the CA HSR is the sensible solution, but no, Joe needs another year to consider his options, er, his political options I suspect. My guess is that by trying to defer any real decision regarding HSR, Joe postpones being forced by the voters to kill the project, and anger the big labor unions, who seem to be in the driver seat with the Democrats in Sacramento.
Do the right thing Joe, terminate the CA HSR Authority and the ridiculous as proposed rail project BEFORE you get termed out.

Joe Simitian is desperately trying to put lipstick on a pig.
a resident of another community

Robert of Stanford is right. The Dems are going to do all they can to keep this pig alive through the election, and that includes perpetuating the empty promises to those they depend on for re-election. Joe Simitian has drawn the line in the sand and ignored it so many times with the HSRA, I've lost count.
a resident of Midtown
on Jan 14, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Simitian will be running for county supervisor. One way to send a message to Simitian is to NOT dontate to his campaign, and do NOT vote for Simitian.
A significant drop in votes & campaign donations to Simitian will send a message to all the other members of the state legislature, and they will terminate HSR, even if Simitian won't do it.

[ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away

3:33 am
families. i'm christi paul and want to talk about march, certainly living up to its reputation at this point of roaring in like a lion, or, in this case, we're hoping roaring out. parts of eight states from kansas to virginia are under winter storm warnings today. we're tracking these midwest snow storms as they make their way east, of course. if you're headed out today, be sure to check the road conditions first and airport as for travel delays because an awful lot of those. fortunately, for colorado the worst of this storm has come and gone but good heavens at its point, folks saw near whiteout conditions yesterday. travel across the northern colorado area was nearly impossible. for a lot of drivers on i-25. that's where casey wian is bracing the wind. >> a nightmare for motorists in colorado yesterday. interstate 70 closed to the
3:34 am
kansas border for most of the day and interstate 25 closed in both directions in the area south and north of denver. massive pileups forced authorities to close the roads. we were right in the middle of the snow storm. we were at a rest stop between colorado springs and pube low, colorado. you can see the flags over here just being whipped by the wind. the snow is blowing. very dramatically and it hurts your face just to be standing out here in the snow. over here you can see or can't see interstate 25. normally the speed limit on the interstate is 75 miles an hour. you can see if this vehicle goes by us. he's going much slower. you can also see on the other side of the interstate, vehicles heading south at a very slow rate of speed, perhaps maybe 30 miles an hour or so. for the past 20 miles we've been driving, we've seen a succession of accidents. multi-car pileups, spinouts,
3:35 am
traffic backed up for a half mile or so heading south because of the accident. we couldn't even shoot pictures of what happened because it was too dangerous. a very serious winter-type storm has hit colorado in early spring. no fatalities despite all those pileups. the good news for colorado, the weather is expected to clear up as the day progresses sunday. christi? >> thank you so much, we appreciate it. casey wian for you there. president of the meteor logical society dr. jay marshall joining me. we should be talking about spring break right now. what the heck is going on in the world? >> i wore my spring colors to trick the atmosphere into thinking it is spring. we can get these winter storms in spring and march. think back to 1993 the super storm and the storm of the century was in march. there are strange things with the atmosphere, the arctic

Yeah interesting how the Yamainu will be best to move after the festival. Guess it's entirely possible they will be busy with another objective. One would think it'd be best to take someone out then. Though Rika did convince them to beef up security for that festival so maybe they just don't have the time with the protection to focus on Satoko's uncle.
Certainly some pretty heavy scenes in this episode. Rika snapping in the clinic and Keiichi vs Shion standoff.Can't wait to see what comes out of next week.

In fact, Ooishi and everyone else are convinced that something WILL happen, that's why the police is dispatched during the festival and afterwards.
EDIT: fount it : It's time for the festival

Through various difficulties i just sat down and watched episode 8 last night and of course i gave it a 10. Im still in awe over seeing Rika flip out like that and then to see her slide back into her depressing/giving up state was somewhat dishearting. But only to see her turn around and in an emotional plee say she is not ready to give up yet and want Keiichi to help Satoko. I happent to agree with Rika I dont think Rika will come across another world with more possiblites than this one and she is running out of time. I gave mad props to Keiichi in this one not only for standing his ground and willing to defy destiny again but for taking that chair shot like man.
I wanted to punch the mindless robot of a woman at the child protection agency, she was no help at all and didnt look she gave a damn. I do hope the gang finds a way to help Satoko without violence. Rena and Keiichi seem to have the most memories out of everyone flooding back to them, to me this is a good sign. But again HIgurashi is great at taking hope and smashing it to pieces to dramatic effect. Ill be holding my breath for the next episode plus we are getting closer to the watanagashi festival time is ticking for heros

There's not much the agency people can do. First off, Satoko has a bad history with them in the past. Also, there are pressure from the villagers.
The most important thing is of course, Satoko did not request help this time. As we learn from Tatarigoroshi-hen, that Satoko thinks the whole thing is a trial for her. Added on the guilt she feels about her ni-ni's disappearance, she thinks that she doesn't need any outside help.

Good episode, we don't get as much clues as from the last episode, this one's mostly progression of events. Things are looking bad, but still salvageable. None of the good guys have been driven mad or murdered.
I considered Takano's talk about the yamainu a clue, though. We see that she is the one representing the organization more than Irie. She makes descisions, and is the one to "make some calls".
Some good points were given in this thread why the organization can't use yamainu to kill Teppei before the festival, but that's nothing conclusive. In my view, they just don't want to kill him yet, in preparation to whatever they're planning for the festival day.
Also they might be intentionally inducing the madness disease in some people. Allowing Teppei to abuse Satoko, and in the past chapters giving the scrapbook to Rena...maybe they even put the needle in Kei's dinner? :P

Well they did leave out a rather important line in the ohagi scene in Minagoroshi-hen. After he says "There wouldn't be any needle" he then adds (basically) "You're the type that'd put hot sauce in, never a needle."

I think keiichi's memory in Tsumihoroboshi implied there was no needle as well. (not too sure about it. i should try to rehook the game i guess)
weirdly enough, DEEN still has shown the ohagi, with the needle, without the former "vanishing" in season 1 -___-
OTOH, the fact they leave the needle, as it was for Minagoroshi-hen, gives keiichi mure more impact on his trust to Mion.
but again, the lack of explanation is really silly :/

DEEN probably thought it wasn't that important...
Even with "you're the type who'd put in hot sauce" line, it'd be hard for watchers to figure out everything about it on their own, so that's probably why they left it out. xD

Oh my God! First Keiichi, then Shion/Mion, later Rena, and now Rika went psycho.
Rika's psychosis was terrifyingly wonderful for this episode it worked at every level on the visceral and the emotional because she knows what's coming and is getting frustrated that no one is setting up a solution that will save Satoko, and therefore prevent the disaster.
People, seriously I have given serious thoughts after the interaction that Rika and Keiichi had sustained since Tsumihoroboshi-hen, and I have made by decision to say that those two make a perfect couple.
Rika X Keiichi forever.

Someone has to convince Satoko to leave the Hojo house and return to Rika's home. I understand that Satoko feels that her suffering under Teppei's abuse is atonement for Satoshi's disappearance. But that's just wrong.
The theme of trusting and confiding in one's friends is very strong in this series. The resolution lies in Satoko herself, and not in the Child Protective Service (or whatever it's called).
The answer also seems to lie in Rika seeking out the help of her friends and not abandoning herself to her fate.
Trust in your friends. Don't keep your own misery to yourself. Your friends may have answers that you yourself are unable to see. Hauuuu.
Can you believe in it?

There was no needle. Keiichi was paranoid at that point. He had also heard an urban legend as a child about a needle being in food. I remember reading that, somewhere.
Besides, even if the girls were playing a prank on Kei-chan they would not put in a needle. He was simply out of his mind.
He also saw a syringe where there was only a marker, the same punishment game as before as I recall.

What?! It was a marker?!
There's nothing that hints it as being a marker in the anime whatsoever... I thought the syringe was something that Irie gave them to calm Keichii down...
Wow. Anything else that we see through Keichii's mind that really isn't as shown?

The anime clearly has shown it was a marker to begin with. In tsumihoroboshi-hen, when Keiichi has his breakdown with the Memories of Onikakushi-hen, while the ohagi didn't change, the syringe gradually became a marker, and Mion says "Get better quickly, alright?"
If you pay attention to what they were "saying" despite Keiichi's delusion, you can tell Mion wanted to cheer him up with a funny Batsu Game, and use the ohagi thing as an excuse to do so. (Since keiichi didn't answer who made which ohagi)
Unfortunately, the "batsu" (so punishment) mention and the shape of the marker completely make him run wild in his imagination, along with rena grip.
The reason why irie and his men removed the marker is probably because it might be troublesome if the police find out Keiichi was mad (since he claims the evidence was a syringe)
as for the "other" delusional visions, it is most likely each "Oyashiro-sama mode" (cat/lizard eyes): all of them are delusion, and their degree depend of Keiichi's state. (some case, like Rena's USODA, it is slightly changed, but some parts like Rena satlking with her cleaver is clearly a distorded vision of the reality)

I have to rewatch tsumihoroboshi-hen.. I get the feeling I missed some important stuff (even though they're small details). Anyway, I watched episode 25 and 26 again (I hadn't noticed that the syringe was actually a marker on the first watch) and noticed something. At the end of episode 26, when Rika's called by Oishii, is that a reference to anything or is it just there with no purpose at all?...

Respected MMA fighter Caol Uno finds himself in an offbeat collabo with Japanese manga character Kinnikuman. Kinnikuman itself began airing in 1979 (till 1987) and revolved around a parody of Ultraman. Essentially part-time wrestler Kinnikuman was a last resort superhero to come around when nobody else was available. The 29+1 Project represents the 30th anniversary of the original debut of the series and features three different t-shirt designs with Caol Uno's 10AC brand involved.

It's Developer week for Windows Vista on Channel 9 and On10, the two online Microsoft TV channels for developers and IT Pros. Make sure you check out what's going on over there - it's well worth a look.
One that caught my eye was the Windows Vista Diagnostics- Moving closer to a self-healing OS which might be of interest to IT Pros and anyone who is the first line of PC support for friends and families!

Clinical trial: Morpholinos for Duchenne molecular dystrophy
AVI BioPharma has started a clinical trial involving systemic administration of their AVI-4658 Morpholino oligo targeted to modify splicing of exon 51 in the human Dystrophin pre-mRNA transcript, excluding exon 51 from the mature mRNA. This is an experimental therapeutic for some mutations causing Duchenne muscular dystrophy, designed to restore the reading frame and ameliorate the effects of a frame-shifting mutation. This study involves intravenous injection of an unmodified Morpholino (note: Morpholinos are also called PMO, an acronym for phosphorodiamidate Morpholino oligomer).
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00844597
this is pretty interesting... if this technology does prove effective in this kind of approach, a large number of genetic diseases could be theoretically treated with such morpholino-based drugs.

MC hits the road
Marin Catholic, which has its spring break next week — a week ahead of its MCAL rivals — will take advantage of the time off from school to play two games in Southern California.
The Wildcats will first meet Bonita Vista on Saturday afternoon and Hilltop on Tuesday. Both games are in Chula Vista. The MCAL schedule would have had Marin Catholic facing Justin-Siena on Tuesday, but that game instead will be played on Friday, April 12, in Napa during the week when the rest of the league is on spring break.
For online updates on Marin County high school baseball, check out the Marin Independent Journal's Marin Prep Sports blog at http://blogs.marinij.com/prepsports/.
If you know of any varsity baseball players competing for a high school outside of Marin County, please let us know. Send an email with information to email@example.com.
Upcoming games
Saturday: Branson vs. College Prep at College of Marin; Marin Catholic at Bonita Vista (Chula Vista).
Tuesday: Marin Catholic at Hilltop (Chula Vista); Branson at Redwood, Drake at San Rafael; San Marin at Novato; Tam at Terra Linda.
Thursday: Drake at San Marin.
Friday: Branson vs. Terra Linda at College of Marin; Tam at Marin Catholic; Novato at Redwood.
