The Beachland Battles for the Future of Waterloo
Theres a story Im hearing all the time; it has become background dialogue, she says. A lot of the people that hang out or work here are younger, creative people, and many have been laid off or downsized from some creative venture. Some are picking up part-time work; others are leaving town because they cant find jobs. There are a limited number of entertainment dollars in Cleveland, and I feel like those dollars are continually shrinking. One potential solution, she says, is public funding for the arts. The Beachland is not a non-profit though we act like one, she jokes yet it would benefit from some kind of audience development, or coordinated regional promotion of arts and culture. Were losing buying power and people, she says, and we need to do something to change that. Ideally, a government entity would do this, but theres some resistance to this. So maybe we need to look at what we can we do on our own.
In the meantime, the Beachland is taking some big risks on the shows theyre promoting, and Cindy is hoping the audience will follow her lead. The club recently brought in soul legend Bobby Watson for dirt cheap. Despite the good price, the club lost money when only about 50 people came to the show. Meanwhile, in another part of town, the House of Blues on East Fourth Street recently opened its doors. Since the opening night party on Thanksgiving weekend, its been the talk of the town. Can it be sustained?

Marketing the arts In April 2003, the Convention & Visitors Bureau of Greater Cleveland set out to deliver a strategic plan to advance arts and cultural tourism in NEO. Their plan, Connecting The Dots… Realizing the Economic Potential of Arts and Cultural Tourism in Greater Cleveland was released in 2004 and finally, they have hired Tami Brown, the experienced, former director of development and external affairs for the Western Reserve Historical Society, to direct the Bureau's new Arts and Cultural Tourism Center. Let's hope this extraordinary opportunity to market our regional arts and culture is given every opportunity to succeed. See PD here and download the Connecting The Dots report here.
Tubbs-Jones and Boxer focus Congress on Ohio Cleveland's Representative Stephanie Tubbs-Jones and California Senator Barbara Boxer refused to certify candidate George Bush's Ohio electoral votes, forcing the House and Senate to debate Ohio's electoral shenanigans for two hours. Boxer said, "Why did voters in Ohio wait hours in the rain to vote? Why were voters at Kenyon College, for example, made to wait in line until nearly 4 a.m. to vote because there were only two machines for 1300 voters? Why did poor and predominantly African-American communities have disproportionately long waits? Why in Franklin County did election officials only use 2,798 machines when they said they needed 5,000?….In Cleveland, why were there thousands of provisional ballots disqualified after poll workers gave faulty instructions to voters?" See Senator Barbara Boxer's complete comments here.

Cool Cleveland Preview
Baba King @ Palace Theatre 1/17
Martin Luther King Day is coming and the memories and aspirations of the day and the man find unusually fine expression in Baba King, a production of Akil Marshall's Dance Afrika Dance. As Marshall sees it, the civil rights movement began in Africa. "As soon as people realized their loved ones were missing, they longed for their return and that was the beginning of the civil rights movement." Such a perspective implies an underlying oneness among African and African-American people and culture, a thesis D.A.D. has been living out in its performances since 1992, paradoxically keeping the African and African-American distinct while often presenting both on the same stage and through the same performers.

Talking Loud, Saying Everything
From Tragedy to Triumph
A Look at Cleveland Actor Jimmie Woody
Cool Cleveland: Though it was tough going, you cut your teeth in New York on a newly found passion. What was your experience?
Jimmie Woody: I was acting throughout New York City, from Washington Heights to Brooklyn, to Flatbush and even in the Bronx. I was one of the only students who was going to this expensive Ivy League school, but was homeless. For the last two years, I just slept on friends couches, slept in teachers classrooms, offices, anywhere I could find
because I could not afford the housing. The housing situation in New York is really tough as nails, if you know what I mean. It was the first time in my life that I applied myself 100 percent, where I tried my hardest to really understand the craft of theatre, acting, and what goes into it…

WCLVnotes In anticipation of the announcement of a forthcoming programming coup on WCLV 104.9 FM, a number of programs have been shuffled about, especially on weekends. As previously announced, KeyBank has extended the sponsorship of its Symphony at Seven to Saturday and Sunday at 7PM. Bill Rudmans Footlight Parade has moved to 6PM on Saturdays. Not the Dead White Male Composers Hour moves from Saturdays to Sundays at 9:30PM, pushing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to 10:30 PM and Pipedreams to 11PM. The Sunday night schedule this weekend, however, gets put into a cocked hat because of the live broadcast of The Cleveland Orchestras Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Concert at 7PM. WCLV will also feed the concert to WBKC, 1460 AM; WCPN, 90.3; and WNWV, 107.3. Tune in. The MLK Celebration Chorus lifts Severance Hall off its foundation. a Cool Cleveland partner www.wclv.com

On A Lost Art: Two-Way Conversations or "Enough About You, Really." here] Thanks for calling attention to this serious social problem (and no, Im not kidding). Over the years I have developed a phobia about the same types of gatherings that I used to anticipate with much excitement and wardrobe planning! While I continue to enjoy meeting new people and hearing their *short* stories, more and more I find that I take my leave of people who have told me far more about themselves than I needed to know while asking no more of me than my first name. When caught in the grasps of these social vampires, I find my heart racing until I can no longer hear their babble over the rushing of blood in my ears, and my fear of being rude is overcome by my fear of fainting. Too bad too few will recognize themselves in your writing, but its nice to know Im not alone…

The elusive $250,000 Sikorsky Prize has been won by a Canadian engineering team. AeroVelo's Atlas human-powered helicopter satisfied the requirements of the Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition in a flight inside a soccer center near Toronto. The flight occurred June 13 but the announcement was made Thursday after videos of the flight were viewed and verified by the competition committee. The competition was launched 33 years ago and the Atlas was judged to be the first human-powered helicopter to rise out of ground effect to a height of at least three meters (9.8 feet), fly for at least 60 seconds and remain hovering within a 10 meter (32.8 feet) by 10 meter square. AeroVelo's Dr. Todd Reichert provided the pedal power to keep the huge quadcopter aloft for 64 seconds.
The aircraft is actually larger than any real helicopter and is more than 190 feet across with four 67-foot rotors. It weighs only 115 pounds, including the carbon-fiber bicycle that was modified to transmit the pilot's power. It made its first flight in August of 2012 and was in a race against other teams from Canada, the U.S., Japan and elsewhere. It took AeroVelos fresh ideas, daring engineering approach and relentless pursuit of innovationcoupled with more than three decades of advances in structures, composites, computer-aided design and aeromechanical theoryto succeed in achieving what many in vertical flight considered impossible," said Mike Hirschberg, executive director of American Helicopter Society International, which oversaw the competition. It's not Reichert's first trip to the human-powered flight record books. In 2010 he provided the power for an ornithopter that flapped about 145 meters.
Some airshow enthusiasts watching from the cheap (actually free} seats got a little more than those who'd paid their way into the Royal Air Force Waddington International Air Show on Sunday. Although the Royal Air Force said the Typhoon was on a normal flight profile for landing at the show, some might argue with that claim. Several spectators, who were in an area off the end of the runway that was placarded as potentially dangerous, dove for cover as the state-of-the-art fighter finished its approach. The RAF says they got what they paid for but still apologized.
"The area concerned is directly under the flight path of the runway and has clear warnings and flashing traffic lights designed to ensure that the public stay clear," the RAF said in a statement. "The approach of the Typhoon to RAF Waddington was completely normal and within all normal parameters. Individuals placing themselves under the flight path of aircraft that operate hugely powerful jet engines should not be surprised if they experience jet wash, nevertheless, the RAF apologises for any inconvenience caused."
Heathrow Airport near London has reopened after a fire in a parked Boeing 787 prompted closure of the airport Friday. The blaze broke out in an Ethiopian Airways Dreamliner that was parked in a remote area of the ramp but the fire does not appear to be related to the batteries that caused the grounding of 787s for months earlier this year. Officials have not said the cause of the fire but have described it as an "internal" blaze. Photos from the scene show all the main cabin doors open along with an access door near the tail of the aircraft after firefighters used foam to quell the fire. The fire burned through the carbon fiber skin on the fuselage just in front of the vertical stabilizer. The batteries are forward of that in a bay under the floor. There was no one on the plane at the time.
This 787 was the first to return to revenue service after a months-long grounding of the type due to two battery fires on 787s earlier this year. The fleet resumed airline operations after Boeing came up with an FAA-approved fix that involved isolating the batteries in case they caught fire. The batteries are now in fireproof enclosures that are vented to the outside to eliminate fire fumes from the cabin. Although there has been no connection made between the battery issue and this fire, Boeing shares nevertheless dropped by more than 5 percent when word of the fire reached the markets.

The Navy this week said its X-47B drone successfully landed on an aircraft carrier at sea, using the arrested landing system to control its rollout on the deck. The drone had launched from the Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, and flew to the carrier USS George H.W. Bush, which was sailing off the coast of Virginia. After the first landing, the drone then launched from the deck and came back around for a second successful landing. The drone used "precision GPS navigation, a high-integrity network connection and advanced flight control software to guide itself through the turbulent air behind the aircraft carrier and onto the moving flight deck," wrote Capt. Jaime Engdahl, program manager for the drone, at the Navy Live blog.
The Navy's two X-47B aircraft are now certified to conduct carrier flight operations, Engdahl wrote, including catapults, arrested landings, flight-deck taxi operations, maintenance and refueling. "It has taken several years of software development, thousands of simulated landings in high-fidelity labs and many hours of flight test in the Patuxent River landing pattern to prove this aircraft is up for the challenge," says Engdahl. "The revolutionary technologies that we have developed and proven in the harsh carrier environment, including aerodynamics of a tailless aircraft, autonomous aircraft behavior, precision GPS navigation, and digitization of the aircraft carrier air traffic control procedures will truly impact the way we integrate manned and unmanned aircraft on carrier flight decks in the future." The X-47B itself is not intended for operational use. The program demonstrated the ability to seamlessly integrate unmanned systems into the carrier environment with only small changes to existing equipment and operations, says Engdahl.
The pilots aboard Asiana Airlines Flight 214 called twice for a go-around, NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman said in a news briefing on Thursday. The cockpit voice recorder shows the first call was three seconds before the crash and the second, from a different pilot, was 1.5 seconds later, she said. Investigators have found no anomalies in the autopilot, auto-throttle or flight director systems in the 777, she said. Also, the pilot at the controls said that at about 500 feet altitude, he briefly saw a bright light "that could have been a reflection of the sun," but he said it didn't affect his vision or his ability to fly the airplane. Hersman said it was not a laser. All debris has been cleared from the runway, which is expected to reopen by Monday.
Thursday's news briefing was the last one to be held in San Francisco, although on-scene investigative work will continue, the NTSB said. Video of the briefing will be posted on the NTSB website when it becomes available, probably by Friday morning. Further updates will be provided from NTSB headquarters in Washington.
A Florida company that specializes in animations that re-create crimes and accidents has released its animated take on the crash landing of Asiana Flight 214 at SFO earlier this month. Eyewitness Animations, which has been doing the animations for court cases and accident investigations for 23 years, shows the final 40 seconds of the Boeing 777's flight to San Francisco and includes a "ghost airplane" in the sequence showing the proper flight path of the airliner. The crash airplane was going about 20 knots slower than it should have been so the ghost aircraft's position relative to the crash plane had to be adjusted to keep it in the frame.
The animation shows a last-ditch attempt by the crew to clear the seawall at the end of the threshold of Runway 27L but by then it was too late. The right mains hit the wall followed by the tail, which breaks into three major pieces. The animation also shows the left engine rolling away as the aircraft rotates almost 360 degrees laterally and becomes briefly airborne before sliding to a stop on the infield. The animation also depicts first-class passengers in lap-and-shoulder harnesses that held them securely in their seats while those in coach had only lap belts. It has been widely reported that many of the injuries are back and head injuries caused when passengers were flung into the seats (and seatback TVs) in front of them.
Lisa Airplanes, based in France, will be back at EAA AirVenture later this month, the company said on Thursday, but their amphibious Akoya airplane will stay at home to continue flight testing. Lisa, which had entered receivership last year, recently got a $20 million funding boost from Chinese investors. The company said this week it is now able to finalize the airplane and will provide Oshkosh visitors with an overview of its innovations and capabilities. The Akoya is one of several amphibious sport planes that have been working their way to market, along with Icon's A5 and Independent Aircraft's SeaDragon.
LSA expert Dan Johnson recently reported there are close to two dozen different light seaplanes either in production or in development. Atol Aviation is working on an update of its 20-year-old seaplane, which won't be ready to show at Oshkosh, but first flight is expected soon. The airplane will be available in both LSA and ultralight versions. Also in the works are the electric-powered Equator Excursion and the FlyWhale ultralight amphib, both in Europe. Johnson said there are at least three more new seaplane models in development that haven't been officially announced yet. AVweb posted a video about the Akoya last year.
Displaying sloppy stick-and-rudder skills or ignoring NOTAMs and FSDO inspectors lurking in the shadows can lead to unpleasant surprises. Paranoia aside, the savvy pilot thinks ahead, knows the rules, and doesn't break a sweat acing this quiz. (Includes a new reader survey.)
Take the quiz.

Aviation Consumer's Paul Bertorelli walks through the features of Hilton Software's latest release of WingX Pro on the iPad.
I have spent a lifetime fooling around in high-risk sportsflying, skydiving, motorcycles. It follows that I have a lot of friends who do the same and a few weeks ago, I lost one of them. In any high-risk activity, there are always people who rise to the top and stand apart from the rest and who, by dint of experience, competence and aura, are the last people youd ever expect to die in an accident. Yet one did. Mike Truffer was a pilot and skydiver and well known in the sport, involved in all levels of it for many years and for many of those years, he was publisher of Skydiving magazine, the sports independent voice. Mike died over the Memorial Day weekend following unsurvivable injuries from a hard parachute opening. He was 63.
Mike and I shared a friendship based not just an intersection of interest but also of professions. He was an Aviation Consumer reader and we traded off expertise. If there was anything Mike didnt know about skydivingits history, trends and industry dynamicsIm quite certain I never discovered what it was. I would occasionally call him to ask about some obscure parachuting subject; hed call me to ask about aviation topics since, as editor of Aviation Consumer, I was supposed to know such things.
He owned at least a couple of airplanes during the time I knew him, including a vintage twina Travel Air, I think or maybe an old Baronwith tapped out engines that he once called to ask me about. Mikes humor could be almost as black as mine, so when we ran through the numbers and I darkly suggested that maybe a hangar fire might be the most economical option, he got the joke. Not everyone does.
If Mike were here now, hed roll his eyes if I fell into the trite prose of the typical memorial hagiography by suggesting he touched many lives, so I wont do that. Respect and fondness for a person is usually erected on a foundation of specific memories and in Mikes case, I recall two.
In 2005, through the lens of skydiving, a conversation we had reset my thinking on aviation risk assessment and how I analyze and write about it. Most skydivers these days use something called an automatic activation device or AAD. It will automatically deploy a reserve parachute if a skydiver fails to deploy on his own below a certain altitude and airspeed threshold. I have one and assumed Mike did, too. But quite purposefully, he did not. His reasoning, as it always was, was old school, but sound. AADs protect against a small slice of riskdistraction and/or failure to pull or incapacitation in free fall. These are exceedingly rare events. But AADs have been known to malfunction, deploying when you least want them to. We agreed that we had no reliable numbers on unintended activations and measured against bona fide saves, Mike figured the risk was about a wash, so he didnt use one. You probably know people like Mike, who like to push back against the accepted wisdom that accrues from group think, not to mention marketing boilerplate.
I continued to use an AAD, conceding to myself that the real risk mitigation, as Mike maintained, was probably more between the ears than real. But isnt that usually the case? The very same logic applies to some aviation equipment many of us have come to believe is indispensable. Not having an AAD, by the way, had nothing to do with Mikes accident.
Mike and his partner Sue Clifton retired from publishing Skydiving in 2009 and shuttered the publication. It is missed mightily, for every discipline and interest benefits from having an independent news outlet. Mike got that. I did some writing for Skydiving and one of the things we covered was a certain type of reserve parachute that clearly had a design defect. It had a degree of longitudinal instability that made it all but impossible to flare. I had personally seen two skydivers stall it and suffer identical injuries as a result. When I approached Mike about reporting this, he didnt flinch, despite the reserves manufacturer being an advertiser. All publishers should do so well. And it wasnt an isolated example, either. Mike had that rarest of qualities: advocacy uncompromised by obsequious glad-handing. When you asked him a question, youd get an unvarnished answer, usually based on first hand knowledge. I dont know about you, but I value this in human character above all else.
In the wake of a tragic accident like Mikes, we sometimes soothe our grief by drawing from it some lesson that may save a life in the future, but there is no such lesson here. The reality is that high-risk activities always involve a degree of randomness that respects no person and defies the prepared, the skilled, the competent.
Mike knew this because he and I talked about it. Of course, in the end, its just words on a page, none of which make it any easier to accept his passing. For me personally, there simply are no words for that.

"From Russia with love" perhaps describes the recent products from AMUST Software in St. Petersburg. Since their impressive Registry Cleaner that I reviewed in August, they've been nimbler that Microsoft at helping us practice safe Internet. Their latest offering is a free utility, eCondom. (That's the product name -- really.)
Here's the deal. Like others, I plead guilty to too often jumping onto the Net using an administrator account rather than a safer user account for any of a number of reasons: time pressure, inadvertence, an unwise decision, or downright laziness. The next release of Windows, Vista, is expected to address such recklessness through a Microsoft Internet Explorer Protected Mode. But until you can run Vista you can get a similar level of protection by using eCondom. (You must be running Windows XP.)
Holding my breath, I launched eCondom and Internet Explorer, then visited some of the most malware-infected sites. During my browsing and afterward, I found no traces of malware gremlins or attempted hijinks. That's especially impressive for a free product.
When it's running eCondom stays out of your way. To signal that it's operating it puts the word "SAFE" into the browser title bar.
There was a downside. Browsing was considerably slower for some Web sites. And eCondom's protections disallowed some content on a few sites. But these aren't major issues. As for speed, most contemporary computers shouldn't have that much of a delay: I ran tests on a throwaway testbed computer with a 500 MHz processor. And regarding disallowed content, that's after all the purpose of eCondom. You either can restart IE or press a user-selectable hotkey to load Web sites that you know are safe.
One rough edge is that when eCondom opens one of its SafeBrowse MSIE window you may need to adjust the window's size. But that's a small price to pay for the protection that the product offers (and it may be fixed by the time you download the small executable).
To be clear, eCondom is a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, other security products for your computer -- antivirus, antispyware, firewall, keyloggers, rootkit, latest Windows and MSIE updates, and other protections. What eCondom does is limit the potential damage of malware to a user account rather than your entire system.

When you have a company name like Virgin, the jokes pile up naturally.
And for a while, Richard Branson's 12-year-old airline, Virgin Australia, seemed to be in on them. Staff displayed a sort of cheeky, fun attitude that has made tooling around the world with them such a pleasant ride.
But in a bid to compete with rival Qantas for the business class market, all Australian cabin crews have been ordered to tone down the sexy. In fact, staff will undergo a complete re-education program to smooth down any less-than-business-class edges.
"They want us to get away from that 'sex' look that's been attached to the company," a flight attendant tells Australia's Daily Telegraph.

That means mandatory etiquette, language and posture classes, grooming and body language workshops (crossing your arms is a no-no as it denotes defensiveness) and food and wine appreciation to best serve up those gourmet airplane meals.
Most surprisingly? Staff will no longer be able to address customers as "mate" — the popular Australian term for friend or buddy — unless said customer is a Frequent Flyer and has filed a special request to be addressed as such.
The changes have been spearheaded by Virgin Australia CEO, John Borghetti. In the two years since the popular airline visionary hopped on board, business class numbers have skyrocketed from 10 per cent to 18 per cent.
Across the pond, Virgin America flight attendants are also getting a wardrobe makeover with sharp new uniforms designed by Banana Republic.
While these changes may seem stringent to some, Edmonton-based business etiquette consultant Terry Pithers sees the move as a smart one.
"This is a trend that we're starting to see all over. We find that during tough business times, the look becomes more conservative. It's a signal that they still make a profit in the business world and to instill confidence in the customer," he says.
Pithers adds that we subconsciously elevate the status of professionals who treat us with courtesy and respect — so by addressing customers a little less informally, that small change could go a long way toward our overall perception of the entire flight experience.
Also see: Erotic e-books are outselling their hardcover counterparts
Plus, the overhaul is still nothing compared to flying's Mad Men-era rulebook.
NBC writes that during the 1960s, female flight attendants were subject to much tougher guidelines.
Stewardesses had to be single with no children, have hair no longer than shoulder length, measure over 5'2" and weigh no more than 135 pounds.
Just to drive that point home, they were subjected to "weigh-ins" before each flight and would be roundly criticized for failing to conform.
"When you checked in for a flight, you'd go into the office and there'd be a grooming supervisor on duty all the time," says retired flight attendant Bronwen Roberts. "She could say, 'Your hair is too long' or 'You are overweight' and send you home until you fixed it."
When you think about it like that, going "mate"-less seems positively progressive by comparison.

The Orrick Lady Bearcats struggled at the free throw line and it came back to haunt them in a 53-51 overtime loss at St. Paul's Tuesday night in their I-70 Conference opener.
Orrick had a chance to put the game away from the line with 4 seconds remaining and leading by 3. However, St. Paul's grabbed the rebound off the missed free throw and a quick outlet pass was followed by a 3-point bucket by Ashley Brackman at the buzzer to send the game into overtime tied 46-46.
Brackman would add another 3-pointer in the overtime as the Saints outscored Orrick 7-5, with the Lady Bearcats getting all of their points in the extra session on 14 free throw attempts. Amanda Rodenberg hit 4 of her 6 attempts from the stripe in overtime, and 7 of 8 for the game, but the rest of the Lady Bearcats hit just 6 of 21 for the game and one of 8 in overtime.
"We have to improve our free throw shooting, especially in close games," Orrick Coach Mitch Comstock said. "Hopefully we will learn from tonight and get better."
Rodenberg led the Orrick scoring with 15 points while leading the way on the boards with 11 – 9 of those on the defensive end. Shelby Harth added 10 points as she hit 4 of 6 from the field, and Amy Isenhour scored 7. Megan Swartz and Elizabeth Clark chipped 6 each for the Lady Bearcats, followed by Gabriela Pigg and Kristee Harris with 2 apiece, and Leslie LaFavor with a free throw.
Harris also had 3 steals and a blocked shot defensively.
Brackman ended the night with a game-high 18 points for St. Paul's, with Audrey Mehl adding 14.
Orrick held a 16-11 lead after the first quarter, and 23-17 at the half. St. Paul's cut into the Orrick lead in the third period with a 14-11 scoring advantage and outscored the visitors 15-11 in the fourth quarter.

WILLARD -- Edison needed help to escape against a pesky Margaretta team in their sectional final game.
Sophomore Ciara Reed stepped up and gave her team the lift and helped give herself some redemption as well.
After missing two free throws earlier in the quarter, Reed's jumper with just over a minute to play helped the Lady Chargers advance to the district semifinals with a 39-38 win over the Lady Bears on Saturday.

New jet service to start at Columbia Airport
Mon, 05 Apr 2010 22:52:30 GMT —
Delta Airlines' new jet-only service at Columbia Regional Airport starts Tuesday.
Delta said increased demand prompted them to add regional jets on all of its three daily flights roundtrip flights from Columbia.
Those flights will continue to connect through Memphis.
The Columbia Airport will be a topic of Monday night TMs Columbia City Council meeting to discuss how to attract new airlines to the city.
A couple ideas are waiving rent for counter space and landing fees.

This past week I was invited out to Las Vegas to check out the legendary Duke Nukem Forever, set to finally launch on May 3rd after being in development for more than 12 years. Between all the alien blasting and urinal cake soaking, I sat down with 2K Games' Producer Melissa Miller to chat about all things Duke.
CraveOnline: The first thing I want to kick off with is this game has been more than 12 years in development, how does it finally feel to be pushing it out the door in May?
Melissa Miller: It's really kind of crazy. You know, it's weird because it's so close, but you don't want to accept it. You have to be working towards it as if it's still not going to happen. You have to be focusing on it, and focusing on it, and not until it's on store shelves and you watch people purchase it with their own hands can you be like, "OK, we've done it."
CraveOnline: Even after playing it tonight, I'm still not sure I actually played it.
Melissa Miller: [laughs] You know, PAX Prime last year was a really interesting thing because, ultimately, when you think of the total number of people at PAX, only a small percentage of them actually got to try out the demo. And we're reading all the reactions about it and people still didn't believe it was real. So today is interesting because it's just another step in that process of saying, "No, this is really happening." The fact that people are playing a console version of Duke, you know, it's never happened before. It's just another step is saying, "No, we will do this, this will happen."
CraveOnline: Being the producer from 2K's side, are you a passionate Duke Nukem fan?
Melissa Miller: I was a console kid growing up. My family didn't have a PC at home, so I was always playing Nintendo or Sega, and stuff like that. So I did not get a chance to play all the PC games people loved growing up. Those passed me by. It wasn't until later that I could play those games on the mod for Windows, or whatever.
I got put on the project [Duke Nukem Forever] last June because I had been working at 2K Marin on BioShock 2. And I decided I wanted to get back into publishing and I asked 2K if they had a project for me and they said, "Would you like to work on Duke Nukem Forever?" I think my mouth just dropped. At the time, you know, it was completely hidden. It wasn't going to be announced until PAX. So, I was just really impressed that they kept it so secretive and hidden. I was also proud to be a part of that group and working towards blowing the doors open at PAX.
CraveOnline: That's actually something I wanted to ask about. As far as public knowledge was concerned, Duke Nukem Forever was dead in May 2009. So was Gearbox working on this title before that, or was Gearbox's involvement something that came later?
Melissa Miller: The timeline for that wasn't overlapping. You had 3D Realms developing the game and unfortunately they closed their doors and their staff was laid off. Well, a group of that staff wouldn't let the game die. They decided to try and finish it. So a group of them started working out of one guy's house. And it just showed how dedicated they were to finishing the game, and how much they loved the character.
So they were continuing to work on the game out of this one guy's house. Then a little while later things aligned so that Randy [Pitchford] was in a position to acquire the IP completely, and George [Broussard] and Scott [Miller] from 3D Realms were in a position where they wanted to sell it to him because they believed that he could finish it; that Pitchford and his team at Gearbox would be true to the vision, and it would be well executed in their hands.
And just to go back to Triptych Games — the team developing Duke from one guy's house — Gearbox has now folded them into their company and they now work out of Gearbox's office. So now everyone is working together to get this game completed.
CraveOnline: Wow, that's pretty cool. OK, switching gears, I kind of want to talk about advertising and marketing for Duke Nukem Forever. Specifically, do you guys expect a lot of blow-back for censorship?
Melissa Miller: Yea, I think there is a lot of opportunity for things to be taken out of context with this game. Especially with the mature humor, or base humor, where you can throw poo around or piss in any of the toilets. In addition to sexual humor. And the thing is, culturally, we've seen a lot of media respond to that type of humor in a very knee-jerk reaction, especially when they can take that kind of thing out of context.
So, one of the things we've been doing is we've submitted the game to the ESRB, we received an "M." You know, we're doing everything we can to put things within the context of the universe. The game of Duke is set in a universe that parody ours, but the characters in it take it utterly seriously. That's a really important thing to establish and keep at the forefront of the people dealing with the game. Because ultimately, it's Duke's world, we just play in it. That's the thing we constantly need to be upfront about.
CraveOnline: OK, so that leads me into the next thing: advertising this game. For people that know the long, fabled history of Duke Nukem Forever, we know this game just coming out is a huge deal. But for the people that don't know that, to see this character that is pretty much a 90s action hero relic, how do you guys plan to market that to mass casual audiences?
Melissa Miller: I think there are a couple of things going for us. Firstly, the gameplay is just fun. Only people who don't have souls don't like fun. There's that. And people hearing from their friends how fun the game is will work in our favor. The other thing is: Duke himself as a character. There's something instantly compelling about a character that has the balls to say whatever he's thinking. And that's what Duke is. He's got all the one-liners, he's also larger than life. He's the badass all the guys want to be and all the women want to be with. So having that brass and balls out attitude, but at the same time being completely unapologetic about it, there's something compelling about that. That's compelling no matter what decade you're in.
CraveOnline: Now as we've covered, Gearbox picked up the pieces of what 3D Realms and Triptych Games created and is smoothing over and finalizing that. But has Gearbox added anything completely new to the original Duke Nukem Forever formula?
Melissa Miller: Gearbox got a full game from 3D Realms. That game has a beginning, middle and end. And with the Triptych guys working on the game and then continuing that work in the Gearbox offices, they've been able to carry on the vision and use their knowledge to see the game through to completion. So Gearbox has been able to take a high level look at the game, from a holistic view, and say, "Hey, where can we add value?" "You know what, this content right here could be better." Looking at accessibility, players expectations are very different now than when this game started development. So we're also looking for ways to improve that user experience.
The other thing that is really interesting that people can look forward to is Duke offers something different from everything else right now. The variety of gameplay. For example, when is the last time you solved a puzzle in a first-person shooter? And that variety separates Duke from the market. And again, it's fun. That's what you can't argue with. And if you play it, and you don't think it's fun, that's cool too.
CraveOnline: The last thing I'm curious about is in regards to Gearbox now officially owning the IP license to Duke Nukem. So assuming Duke Nukem Forever does well in sales, is there a chance we'll see future Duke titles from Gearbox?
Melissa Miller: Let's just get this game out. We can't pat our backs till this game is on the shelves.
CraveOnline: [laughs] Fair enough. OK, Melissa, thanks for taking the time to talk with us. Wish you all the best with wrapping up Duke Nukem Forever!
Melissa Miller: No problem and thanks!

For the money, this is not a bad buy from Sports Authority.
It has a small motor and limited features but for $799 what do you expect? If you have a very limited budget, this is not a choice that will make you think about cutting your wrists.

There's no doubt that our culture places a strong focus on physical appearance. Nevertheless, most of us also look to other things to help us feel good about ourselves including our relationships with friends and family, our faith, or our performance at work or in other activities. For people with eating disorders, however, the focus on weight and shape becomes overly important. Often, people with eating disorders convince themselves that if only they looked a certain way or weighed a certain amount, they would be happy. This can, of course, lead to taking extreme measures to control ones weight.
Psychiatrist Dr. Julia Wood from Blount Memorial Parkway Psychiatric Service says there are three primary types of eating disorders. "The two most well-known types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa," Wood said. "In both cases, people have a negative body image and place a lot of value on weight and body shape. Anorexia nervosa is a disorder in which a person eats very little to lose weight or remain at a very low weight. Bulimia nervosa is a disorder in which a person has episodes of binging, or eating a very large amount of food in a short period of time while feeling a loss of control, and later engages in behaviors to try to eliminate the food they've eaten. Classically, people with bulimia nervosa will make themselves purge the food by vomiting, though sometimes they will use other behaviors such as exercising excessively or taking laxatives to try to eliminate the calories they consume," she explained. "Both of these disorders can lead to serious medical problems or death if left untreated," she added.
Wood says the third type of eating disorder that has gained a lot of attention lately is binge eating disorder. "With binge eating disorder, a person will eat a very large amount of food in a short period of time while feeling loss of control and shame. However, unlike bulimia nervosa, people with binge eating disorder do not use purging, diet pills, excess exercise or any other measures to try to 'make up' for the calories they've consumed while binging. This disorder is not the same as simply 'eating too much.' Many people overindulge at times. People who have this disorder, though, binge often and do so in private because they're embarrassed and ashamed by the behavior, and do not want others to see what they're doing," Wood explained.
Still, Wood says there is help for those who are battling an eating disorder. "Proper treatment of an eating disorder often involves a team of clinicians," she said. "Therapy sessions with a therapist who is experienced in treating eating disorders is the mainstay of treatment, but medication may be used, as well. Also, a medial doctor helps address a person's physical health, while a dietitian can help an individual work toward a goal of eating healthy," she added.
There also are specific signs to look for if you believe someone you know may be battling an eating disorder. "The key things to notice are extreme dieting, fluctuations in weight, use of laxatives or diet pills, exercising excessively, having rigid rules around eating, and frequently comparing themselves to others in terms of weight and shape," Wood said. "If you or a loved one need help, I recommend consulting your primary care provider, a psychiatrist or a therapist who specializes in treating eating disorders," she added.
Dr. Wood sees patients at Parkway Psychiatric Service, located at 451 Blount Memorial Physician Office Building in Maryville. For more information or to schedule an initial appointment, call Parkway Psychiatric Service at 865-980-5377.

Liquid Chromium Chromium is a trace mineral essential for the proper metabolism of cholesterol and glucose (blood sugar), as well as insulin production and regulation.
Chromium deficiencies have been shown to aggravate and/or contribute to, diabetes, hyper/hypo glycemia, high cholesterol, heart disease, slow metabolism and weight fluctuation. Low intake of chromium is associated with high blood sugar levels, glucose intolerance, and adult onset diabetes, which in many cases is corrected or improved with increased chromium intake.
Chromium decreases insulin resistance and reduces the body's level of triglycerides. It also helps to control obesity and can stimulate weight loss. Proper insulin regulation promotes the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that controls the appetite and curbs sugar cravings.
Analysis has shown that unrefined sugars and grains are rich in chromium and other essential life supporting minerals. When chromium is removed, (during the refining process into white sugar and flour) the human body does not have the element it needs to effectively deal with these two powerful energy sources. The refining of raw sugars and grains gives them a longer shelf life. It also creates foods which strip the body of chromium and other essential minerals necessary for the proper metabolism of these energy foods. Consequently the body must draw on other stores to process the sugar and flour when consumed. This subsequently leads to mineral deficiencies and an inability to deal with the body's other demands for chromium and other minerals.
Chromium works best if it is taken before meals to help stabilize blood sugar. Even if you don't consume much sugar, chromium is necessary because the body treats most refined foods as simple glucose. If you don't immediately burn this glucose for energy, you convert it into FAT! In addition, chromium, which concentrates in the muscles, can help to increase lean body mass and decrease body fat and weight. Chromium improves the uptake of glucose in the body's cells so that it can be metabolized to produce stable energy levels, thus helping to reverse the effects of hypoglycemia.
Chromium Research Chromium is an essential element necessary for sugar metabolism via the production of insulin. It's also believed to play a role in the breakdown of protein and fats for energy. Chromium is virtually always lost in the process of refining foods like whole grains and natural sugars. Therefore, eating refined foods does not give one the essential minerals to properly process these foods. The body rapidly converts refined sugar and grain (white flour) to glucose. Any unused glucose will be converted to fat. This is the main cause of the obesity epidemic in this country. In any refining process we essentially removed most of the elements from our foods that nature intended we have in order to properly metabolize them. Chromium is one such mineral lost in the refining process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's The Difference Between Eidon Multiple Minerals and Trace Minerals? Any time you can enhance your tissue mineral status by supplementing with essential minerals you are doing yourself a great favor that will ultimately improve your quality of life. The type of minerals you select to take will impact you in different ways. Eidon gets a lot of inquires asking them to describe the difference between their multiple mineral and the product from Trace Minerals. Following is the difference.
Eidon's Multiple Mineral has been formulated to deliver specific minerals known to be essential for daily health in a purified water and silica base. It is the only silica based liquid multiple mineral supplement available at any price. Silica is so lacking in our diets today that most if not all collagen disorders can be traced to its deficiency. To this base they then add the most well known essential minerals necessary on a day-to-day basis. These other minerals are not added haphazardly, but in specific amounts and balances as one would find in human tissue. Their formula reflects the most current understanding for optimal balance in a mineral formula. The macro-minerals, calcium and magnesium, are kept in a 1:1 ratio to correct the erroneous dietary trend of high calcium and low magnesium intake. The delicate triad of zinc, copper and manganese are kept in a specific ratio so as not to imbalance each other. Higher and equal levels of selenium and chromium compliment the zinc, copper and manganese ratio. Boron is utilized with silica in proportion to calcium and magnesium. Iron and copper are included with careful attention to the zinc triad. Iodine, potassium and sulfur put finishing touches on the formula within the current acceptability guidelines for tissue mineral balance.

of the Dead
of the Dead
In the
AS-ROTK, Adams
indicates that the clash of gongs represented the noise
of the ancient battles of an army now dead.
Tibetan Hanging Gongs
(and Tam-Tams)
Although the gongs are only
mentioned in association with the Army of the Dead, and
the Army of the Dead music was in ROTK, Doug Adams has a
photo of Tibetan gongs used in May 08, FOTR Live
concert in Lucerne.
From what I can tell,
Tibetan hanging gongs are a form of chau gongs (which
are completely flat on their face with no raised nipple)
A large chau gong is called a tam-tam and tam-tams are
also used in the score. An image of a tam-tam can be
seen in the lower center of
this image from the March 09, TTT Live concert in
There is a
segment in the TT, appendices feature, "Music for
Middle-earth", that deals with Peter Jackson playing the
tam-tam for a scene with Éowyn.
The Tibetan gongs are
combined with low men's voices and high, diaphanous
strings to create an eerie mixture that forms the
Army of the
Dead theme. The Tibetan gongs are also heard as the
Dead King contemplates Aragorn's challenge to join with
The tam-tam is used
throughout the score. Although it isn't attached to any
one theme or culture, all mentions of it the
scores are associated with moments of mystery,
danger, apprehension, uncertainty, or forces of Shadow.
Sometimes it is struck with a mallet, sometimes it is
bowed, sometimes it is rubbed and sometimes it is
scraped with a stick.
No artists are listed for
either types of gongs. The instruments were probably
played by percussionists in the London Philharmonic

11, The Paths of the Dead, 1:12-1:24
1. Sample of bowed tam-tam
from Bronzed Cloud, 10,000 Shades Of Blue, by
Richard Lainhart
I couldn't really discern
the sound of the bowed tam-tam in this sample so I
provided a non-score example for comparison. To
differentiate it from strings, keep in mind that the
bowed tam-tam will not be changing notes really. If you
visit Lainhart's site, you can hear more variations of
the bowed tam-tam.

from CR-TTT Disc 1, Track 11, The Dead Marshes,
