Richard Scarry's Busytown is a Sega Genesis and DOS video game that was released for a younger generation of gamers.[4][dead link] This game was based on the series of Best...Ever! series of videotapes distributed by Random House's home video arm preceding 1993's The Busy World of Richard Scarry that was produced by CINAR and Paramount Television.
The game consists of an interactive story book that was written by Richard Scarry. Most of the game is spent exploring Busytown looking for things to interact with using either the gamepad or a special mouse that could be purchased separately from the game and the console system.[4][dead link]
Young gamers will do everything from building a house using construction tools to delivering something to repair a ship. Games are relatively short and can be finished in about an hour. Familiar faces from Richard Scarry's works of literature include Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm.[4] Another game allows players to control the wind in order to cause controlled havoc at the Busytown park and beach. Other games located throughout Busytown include helping finish Mr. Fix-it's latest invention, helping a patient at Dr. Diane's hospital, delivering goods throughout Busytown, helping Smokey the Firefighter prepare a fire engine for extinguishing a house fire, work at a gas station, fill orders at an automated deli, learn basic addition/subtraction on a see-saw, and help Bananas Gorilla get his box of bananas out of a park full of tourists. All games offer basic vocabulary practice as simple puzzles help improve basic problem solving and English language skills.
The voice quality of this game is realistic when compared to the cartoons of that era. All of the characters act and talk like their counterparts in the books and the cartoon series. If the player puts too much lemonade or soda in the glass and spills some out of the glass, then one of the characters may ask the player "Are you blind?" in a gentle voice. Delivering stuff allows the town to slowly come to life. The Sega version omits the Mr. Fix-it, Dr. Diane, gas station, see saw and Bananas Gorilla portions of the game.
Sequel and remake[edit]
There was a sequel for this game titled Richard Scarry's How Things Work in Busytown which received a 1994 North America-exclusive release from Novotrade and Simon & Schuster.[5] Like the original game, it is intended for a pre-kindergarten through second grade audience and was released for DOS in addition to the Macintosh. Children that play this game learn to assemble machinery, bake bread, and complete other processes that are necessary to live life. This game makes kids think where food comes from, how bread is baked, and so on. Different outcomes can be observed through the several different learning methods. Young players can also learn vocabulary, word recognition, and sequencing.[6]
The original Busytown video game was remade in 1999 by Simon & Schuster Software, Pearson Software and Boston Animation. It was released for the Microsoft Windows and Macintosh operating systems, and featured improved voice acting, graphics and animation resembling the 1993 Busy World of Richard Scarry animated series. The gameplay is still the same and the original songs from the 1993 release are included. However, the Bananas Gorilla portion of the game was removed. Everything else from the DOS version was carried over to the remake.

Man I don't realy know, Im kinda new but it would be awesome if we could.
So guys i know you were able to hack cars and basically like buy BISHADA (no armas) and then hack it and have armas parts,or buy BISHADA and hack it so it looks like VEGAS.Now i know this can get you banned but i was playing APB like 2 days ago and i saw ENF with vegas that has engine out of his hood.I asked him how did he get it but he didn't reply and then 2 hrs later i see another dude same look,engine out of car...
Can we hack cars again without being banned cuz this guy was R170-190,gold and he isn't banned.
Man I don't realy know, Im kinda new but it would be awesome if we could.
I and some friends saw somebody with the Frenso with a Shaker sticking out of the hood. It turned out to be a new car added to one of the contacts. Just a rentable car, no new parts yet.
I know how you would do it so that only you would see it. Theres a way to modify these things client side by switching files, it would be a pain to try like 50 + files to get this. I still don't know what they did to make this server side. I'm guessing they have the files from RTW APB or they found the ingame console (I remeber reading about someone finding it).
i think its the new cars in a new contacts since they are making form 195 to 215 rank so maybe the people has the new contacts to unlock these cars with the Shaker sticking out from the hood
They have been keeping a close watch on people doing this, they have made the ARMAS pieces and some Cisco's/Vegas's server-sided. So, don't risk the ban.
I hope so, Then it would be very cool!
A man can Change his stars!
I would never risk the ban if I were you
so they didnt came up with the new contects? for the rank 215's etc... someone told me that its the new contects that the cars get a new look o well i am not there yet and i am not doing any file moving things cuz for a fact i know that they have file checking system in there so who ever done it gud luck from my side that you dont get BAN!!
I know that at R215 new contacts is unlocking MODS,CLOTHES(GAS MASK,SKATEBOARD)And we are getting like new guns GOLD N-TEC.But for car...dunno.
R215?! but max is R195 :|
i never saw high then 195 in APB reloaded
Last edited by romencool; 04-07-2012 at 02:38 PM.
With new patch( coming mid April) 1.7 you will be allowed to go higher than 195, r215 will be the maximum then.
The patch prvides 2 new contacts with 10 levels of progression each.
Last edited by SamsoniteNM; 04-07-2012 at 05:02 PM.
How do you know its mid-April? We are like on like 1.02 or something low, I would think the patch would come out in the summer or fall.
Thanks, I don't check forums often.

UK Broadband has announced that its 4G network is live, beating EE to the post.
Residents and local businesses in Swindon, Southward and Reading can now take advantage high-speed of 4G mobile broadband. The firm has launched the service weeks ahead of EE under the name 'now Broadband'. See also: 4G vs 3G network hands-on speed test.
"We are really excited to offer residents and businesses in these areas a unique opportunity to enjoy 4G speeds using our wireless networks," said Nicholas James CEO at now Broadband. "Our services offer a truly flexible, hassle free alternative to fixed line broadband services – whether it's at home, work or a customer Wi-Fi solution."
Although now Broadband has beaten EE to launching the UK's first 4G network, the offering is different. Instead of 4G for devices like smartphones, now Broadband provides a fixed wireless 4G LTE service as an alternative to fixed broadband for homes and businesses. See also: EE 4G in the UK: what you need to know.
The service is provided via a home router but neither a phone line is nor a long-term contract are required. Speeds reach up to 40Mbps and there are four packages to choose from starting at £21.50 per month.

Arson Discounted in Fatal Fire
Published: December 27, 1989
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn., Dec. 26— A fire that killed 16 people in a high-rise retirement center started on the first floor, but investigators have not narrowed the cause, city fire officials said today.
''I don't think we are looking at arson here,'' said Paul Souder, assistant to Chief Doug Buckles. ''I don't think we're looking into anything criminal.''
''A sprinkler system would have held it in check until we got there,'' Mr. Souder said of the Christmas Eve blaze, which spread to the second floor and parts of the third floor of the 10-story building. Smoke traveled to all floors before firefighters brought the fire under control.
Grant Trivett and his father, U. G. Trivett Jr., managed the retirement center, which was renovated as an apartment hotel for the retired in 1979, a year after the hotel closed. The structure was built in 1924.
''This was an apartment house, with the residents all supposed to be able to care for themselves, cook their own meals and keep their own places clean,'' Grant Trivett said. It was not a nursing home, he said.
''We were planning to upgrade our facility with a sprinkler system,'' he said. ''We didn't feel uncomfortable about it. We felt it would be a good investment.''
City Manager John Campbell said the center, which housed 145 residents, had concerned city officials.
''You have to be concerned any time you have so many elderly people in a 10-story building,'' Mr. Campbell said.
When the retirement center was renovated in 1979, it was brought up to code, Mr. Campbell said, but the building code at that time did not require sprinklers. Sprinklers are required under present code only if renovations are being done.
State Representative Bob Good said the Tennessee Legislature may have to consider requiring sprinkler systems in older buildings after it reconvenes Jan. 9.

Diabetes Fundraising Recognized
Last fall, Timber Point Elementary School fourth-grader and diabetes patient Emma Mendolia spearheaded local fundraising efforts for juvenile diabetes. The activities included a school assembly with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), organized by physical education teacher Mike Delia, and a diabetes walk that the entire school participated in.
"After being diagnosed with this disease, Emma's positive attitude has been inspirational for the faculty, staff and her peers at Timber Point," said Delia.
In gratitude for Mendolia's inspirational fundraising efforts that raised over $3,300 for juvenile diabetes research, the JDRF recently cut a $300 check to Timber Point and delivered a special banner to the school in recognition of Timber Point's walk.
"We are so thankful for the overwhelming response of the East Islip community," said her parents, Andrew and Vanessa Mendolia. "Through the efforts and coordination of Mr. Delia and Dr. Belz, the diabetes walk was a tremendous success. Emma was very excited and extremely proud to help raise money for other children who live with diabetes."

My grandmother calls me every day and cries into the phone "Why you? Why not me? I wish I could have this illness instead of you".
My mother tells me how she is not enjoying anything anymore and keeps thinking about my health. She bought me a 10 days stay at a fancy diabetes clinic in Germany which was really expensive... She is booking an expensive summer holiday trip for me and my boyfriend just to make me happy.
And these two people are everything that I have as a family. And it seems to me that I am causing this pain. I know that it is not my fault that I have diabetes. But for some reason I feel like I deserve it and that it is meant to be which is fine for me as long as I am not disappointing others.
I can have great days and feel strong, but these moments destroy everything and I just feel guilty.
trust me you can live lonnng happy days with this disease, you should assure your mom and grandmother that too. You have a disease that you can control, and a disease that pushes you to live a healthier lifestyle, how great is that! I know this disease can be a pain in the ass at times, but I have always said to myself... out of all the diseases in this world, I think being diagnosed with diabetes has made me fortunate, made me appreciate life more and what it has to offer. I know i'm way healthier than some people i know, we can out live many people by taking care of ourselves to best.. you need to reassure them that and live for today and the moment.. diabetes will be there sure, but its not who we are, just another bump in the road.
Have you tried seeking group therapy with all three of you? maybe take them both to a CDE?
@JillThanks for your advice! It gives me a good start of the day ^^Next time, I´ll tell them
@SarahWould be a bit difficult as all three of us live at different places far away from each other...

McLintock! is a 1963 American western comedy film, starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, directed by Andrew V. McLaglen. The film co-stars Wayne's son Patrick Wayne, Stefanie Powers, Jack Kruschen, Chill Wills and Yvonne DeCarlo (billed as "Special Guest Star"). Loosely based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, the project was filmed in Technicolor and Panavision and produced by Wayne's company Batjac Productions.
Cattle, timber and mining baron George Washington "G.W." McLintock (John Wayne) is living the single life on his ranch. He is estranged from wife Katherine (Maureen O'Hara), who left him two years before, suspecting him of adultery. She has been living the society life back in the East while their daughter Becky (Stefanie Powers) is completing her college degree.
Following a meeting with a group of homesteaders whom he cautions against trying to farm on the Mesa Verde:
"God made that land for the buffalo. it serves pretty well for cattle. But it hates the plow! And even the government should know you can't farm six thousand feet above sea level!"
He hires one of them, attractive widow Louise Warren (Yvonne De Carlo), as his cook and housekeeper. G.W. welcomes both her and her two children into his home, including grown son Dev (Patrick Wayne), who is handy with his fists, good with cattle, and is an excellent chess player, who had had to leave Purdue University on the death of his father.
Katherine (a.k.a. Katie), returns to the town of McLintock, seeking a divorce from G.W. He declines to give her one, and has no idea why she has been so angry with him for two years that she moved out.
Following a misunderstanding which leads to a Comanche subchief nearly being lynched by a hotheaded settler father who believes his daughter has been kidnapped, there is a gigantic brawl at the mud slide by one of McLintock's mines. Significantly, Katherine is in there swinging on her estranged husband's side as the local Indians watch the white folks make fools of themselves.
Rebecca "Becky" McLintock returns to town, along with her banjo-playing love interest, "Junior" Douglas (Jerry Van Dyke). Junior is approved of by Katherine but not G.W. However, she soon falls for Dev (of whom G.W. approves wholeheartedly), and they become engaged after he takes her across his knee and spanking her with a coal shovel following a sharp exchange between them. When they announce the engagement, G.W. and Mrs. Warren both give their blessings.
The same train that brought Becky home from college also brought back Chief Puma of the Comanche tribe, an honored enemy and blood brother of G.W., who has been released from prison by the federal government. The territorial governor is out to force the local Comanche tribe off their lands and onto a reservation near Fort Sill.
At the request of Chief Puma, McLintock acts as the spokesman for the Comanche, translating Puma's speech into English at the kangaroo court hearing organized by Governor Humphrey. The governor announces that the Indians will be moved to Oklahoma, and Chief Puma and his subchiefs are imprisoned again. With the illicit help of G.W., a breakout is arranged and an Army train is looted of a cargo of Krag-Jorgenson rifles and ammunition. The Comanche head out on what Puma had called "the last fight of the Comanche," hotly pursued by the local troop of U.S. Cavalry. This has the effect of bringing what Humphrey and Agard, the local Indian agent, have been doing to the attention of Washington. It is implied that both will shortly be removed from office.
At the Fourth of July celebration during which the Comanche breakout takes place, McLintock finally has enough of Katherine's behavior. Following one insult too many, G.W. pursues Katherine through the streets and shops of the town like Nemesis, Katherine losing her clothing one piece at a time until she is down to her corset and bloomers. After an epic chase, he finally catches her, spanks her bottom with a coal shovel, and tells her that now she can have her divorce. She decides she does not want a divorce after all, and G.W. and Katherine happily reconcile.

The script was developed by John Wayne. He offered the job of directing to Andrew McLaglen, who had directed a number of low budget features and had worked widely in television. It was the first movie fully produced by Wayne's son, Michael, although Michael Wayne had worked on a number of other films in various capacities. The male juvenile lead was John Wayne's younger son, Patrick.[2]
The film was shot at Old Tucson Studios, west of Tucson, Arizona and also at San Rafael Ranch House - San Rafael State Natural Area South of Patagonia, Arizona and Nogales.[5][2]
Many of the cast and crew had worked with Wayne before. Wayne insisted a support role be given to Yvonne de Carlo, whose husband had been injured making How the West Was Won.[6] Michael Wayne estimated the budget as being between $3.5-4 million.[2]
In the Special Feature "Maureen O'Hara and Stefanie Powers Remember McLintock!" O'Hara reported that when she and Wayne filmed the famous scene in which he spanked her with a coal scuttle shovel, he did not pull his strokes. "He really spanked me! My bottom was black and blue for weeks!"[7]

The film was a box-office success, and a timely one, since The Alamo had cost Wayne in both financial and "box-office capital" terms.[8] McLintock! grossed $14,500,000 in North America,[3] earning $7.25 million in US theatrical rentals.[9] It was the 11th highest-grossing film of 1963.
Andrew McLaglen said the film "put me in the big time."[10] He made four more films with Wayne.
According to Bosley Crowther, "the broadly comic Western ... sounded like a promising idea"; "the scenery is opulent and the action out-of-doors, the color lush and the cast made up almost entirely of recruits from John Ford's long cinematic cycle commemorating the tradition of the American frontier."[1] Since "the direction was entrusted to a relative newcomer, Victor McLaglen's television-trained son, Andrew V. McLaglen ... good intentions, when the task at hand is as difficult as lusty farce, are not enough."[1] Emanuel Levy, in a review years after the film's release, said the film is "significant because it marks the beginning of Wayne's attempt to impose his general views, not just political ones, on his pictures. Most of Wayne's screen work after McLintock! would express his opinions about education, family, economics, and even friendship."[4]
Richard Wormser wrote a novelization of the screenplay.[11]
Public domain status[edit]
Produced by John Wayne's Batjac Productions for United Artists, John Wayne's estate retained the rights to the film. In 1994, a legal case determined the film was in the public domain in the United States, but the music score remained under copyright.[12][13][14][15]
Video releases[edit]
Despite being available in public domain distributors for the past decade, the first official home video issue of the film was released in the mid-1990s by MPI Home Video. Years later, in 2005, Paramount struck a distribution deal with Batjac and thus is now the home video rights holder for this film. Despite this, numerous versions of the film are still being released on home video, both sanctioned and unsanctioned by Batjac.
The official DVD presentation includes restored and remastered video and audio with extensive documentary, commentary, and bonus features. The High and the Mighty, Hondo, and Island in the Sky—three other John Wayne features—were issued around the same time.
There are also several Blu-ray releases of this film sanctioned by Batjac—one from Paramount with bonus features, and a no-frills issue from Olive Films.

Stupid Question
Ok so looking at holsters for the XDm 3.8 in 45. So do all XDm's fit the same holsters? I am only seeing that they say XDm on them. Some say 4.5 which I think would work. And also do regular XD holsters work with the XDm?
I carry the XDSC40 and the XDM 3.8 is very close to the same size, and fit well into my DeSantis Tuck This holster.
To make sure you can probably send a query to the holster manufacturer.
Yea I will probably have to. Im looking into IWB holsters and not really finding anything other than regular xd holsters.
Same holster works for both models. I use the Galco king tuk made for the xd and it holds my 3 xdm's just fine. I also have a Blackhawk Serpa holster and it works well also.
The only thing that really changed in the xdm line was capacity and match parts. Capacity upgrade for 9mm and .40 unchanged capacity for.45.
Thanks for the info. I was actually looking at the serpa and also the king tuk. That is good to know about both of those.

Anyone looking forward to development in Newtonville?
This week in TAB opinion, several Newtonville residents reacted to our story about the proposals for developing the Austin Street parking lot.
Kathleen Kouril Grieser called the proposals "profoundly disappointing" and Ernest V. Loewenstein lamented the loss of free parking spaces.
Any fans out there? Here's the article laying out the different proposals if you'd like to review.

Anyone looking forward to development in Newtonville?
I am!
Mike Striar permalinkMay 21, 2013, 11:26 AM
Me too! I think development of the Austin Street lot is an excellent idea. The City should be doing something similar on Willow Street in Newton Centre, where they unfortunately rejected a public-private partnership proposal that would have landed Newton new firehouse and fire headquarters for $0. Mayor Warren needs to rethink that decision.
fignewtonville permalinkMay 21, 2013, 2:47 PM
I am with reservations. The city needs to do more than just the Austin Street Lot. They should combine this with Walnut street's repaving to really remake the village center. New sidewalks, new streetlamps, more benches and plantings, perhaps some incentives for landlords to redo facades.
Colleen Minaker permalinkMay 22, 2013, 11:32 AM
I live close to Newtonville. I would love to see sensible commercial/residential developments. Right now the village is a sleepy little center, nowhere as busy as Newton Center. A large scale structure could be quite a shock to the entire community.
I just don't see the small village as a magnet for large scale commercial enterprise.
On weekends local residents want a place to relax and enjoy the many small eateries now coming to the area.
Perhaps Newton Highlands would welcome such a huge structure. But, I doubt it.
Anatol Zukerman permalinkMay 22, 2013, 2:35 PM
I always supported this development in principle, but now am disappointed by the designs, mediocre at best. That's what happens when developers subjugate architects for the sake of "safe" design and maximum profit. Every Newton village center deserves a UNIQUE Village Green. What we see in Newtonville (again) is a village block, dull and indifferent to the current and future architectural context.
Where's that proverbial "excellence in architecture"?
fignewtonville permalinkMay 24, 2013, 12:30 PM
Was anyone else at the meeting yesterday on Walnut Street at the New Art Center? Can we get a separate topic on that event? Was the Tab there?

I think you could create a triangle using the "star" tool, and stick a straight line to it. Then make a group of both (Ctrl-G IIRC). Then you can make duplicates (Ctrl-D) of the arrow and move/rotate (Alt-mouse or Ctrl-mouse IIRC -- press the key and watch the statusbar) them to wherever you need.

Dr. Maddox, Yvette, Lydia, and Rosa
I would like to take the time off on behalf of myself to thank you all so much for giving me a better life. I never would have thought that I would get such a wonderful gift, knowing "dreams do come true." Again, thank you all and may God bless you all very much.
Dr. Maddox, Yvette, and Rosie,
On behalf of myself I wanted to thank you all for your generosity. I never thought that I would be able to see like this without glasses or contact lenses. I've always dreamed of wanting to get LASIK done but was a little scared until now. Dr. Maddox, you're a miracle Dr. and may God bless you always. Again, thank you very much, I hope you continue to help others see by the special gift that God gave you. Thank you very much.
Dear Dr. Maddox, Yvette, Lydia, and Rosa,
Thank you all so deeply for taking such great care of me. It is great to see so much better and again I am so thankful to you all for the time and dedication you have freely given to me.
Sincerely, Carolyn
Dr. Maddox,
I want to thank you for the excellent work you did with my eyes. The attention that you and your staff provided to me when I was in your office. I am enjoying my eyes just like when I was a little girl. Thank you very much and God Bless you and your work.
Dr. Maddox, I can't find the words or the way to thank you so much for your services. I am so HAPPY to be able to see with my own eyes. Thank you and your staff...... To anyone who is looking into the surgery it is Great! Have FAITH. Thank you all for everything.
Eric, 22 years old
Before surgery I couldn't even look at my alarm clock without my glasses. It is an amazing feeling to open your eyes in the morning and see everything crystal clear. God Bless Dr. Maddox for having the ability to improve my way of living. I'll forever be thankful to him.
Jennifer, 21 years old
I just want to take the time to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Maddox. The whole process was an absolute pleasure and the best part is that now I can see!! Dr. Maddox's practice is a warm, friendly place and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wears glasses or contacts. Maddox Laser Eye Center is the tops!! Thank you Dr. M!!
K.C., 31 years old
I have worn glasses since I was in the 3rd grade. Now, at 31, to be told I have 20/20 vision without glasses or contact lenses is a dream come true. To be able to see the time on the alarm clock in the morning is still a constant surprise.
A.H., 31 years old
Dr. Maddox,I never imagined I would be this happy with my procedure. It is such a blessing! You are such a blessing! Thank you so much. It's really amazing to wake up and go to sleep and not have to worry about contacts! I am forever grateful from the bottom of my heart! Thank God and Thank you! :-)
K.W., 21 years old


text: The numbers game By Dave Hickman September 29, 2012 Story Share AP Photo West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith waves to the crowd after his record-setting game in the Mountaineers' first game as a member of the Big 12. AP Photo WVU's Stedman Bailey pulls down one of his five touchdown catches, beating Baylor's K.J. Morton. MORGANTOWN - Question of the day: In what universe is it possible that a West Virginia defense can allow an opposing quarterback to throw for 581 yards and five touchdowns and an opposing receiver to catch 17 passes for 314 yards and still win?Answer: Welcome to the Big 12. And get used to it.No, they all aren't going to be this ridiculous. These weren't video game numbers. It was beyond that. Call it Monopoly Football, where the numbers just don't seem to relate well to reality.But after just one game in the Big 12, it is more than apparent that few of the old rules apply, especially where Geno Smith, Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin and the West Virginia offense are concerned.These aren't misprints: Smith completed 45 of 51 passes for 656 yards and eight touchdowns, Bailey caught 13 passes for 303 yards and five scores and Austin grabbed 14 for 215 yards Saturday as No. 9 West Virginia outlasted No. 25 Baylor 70-63 in the Mountaineers' debut in the Big 12.A few more: West Virginia gained 807 total yards, Baylor 700. West Virginia set school records for both yards gained and yards allowed - in the same game. There were six 100-yard receivers between the two teams. The scoring records are almost too numerous to count.Yet with 99 seconds left to play, West Virginia still had to convert a third-and-1 near midfield to seal the win. It seemed only fitting that needing one yard, Dustin Garrison ran for 17. Excess was, after all, the theme of the day.In truth, though, the game was merely everything that most had predicted. The only catch is that seldom do games turn out exactly as expected. This was an exception. Afterward, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen admitted that while it would be wise to get used to games of a similarly offensive-minded vein, even this one was an exception to what will be the rule."I've been telling you how it is,'' said Holgorsen, who has an intimate knowledge of the league after spending much of the last dozen years in it. "Not every Big 12 game is like this. Not every Big 12 offense is like this. Not every game is going to be like this."But this was a situation where both offenses were playing at a pretty high level.''Indeed. And it became apparent very quickly that no lead would ever quite be safe.For instance, West Virginia trailed for much of the first half, but never by more than a touchdown. And each time the Mountaineers did fall behind it was only a matter of a few Smith completions to square things again. West Virginia never trailed for the game's final 34:54, but also never felt safe. Consider that the Mountaineers took their first lead at 35-28 on a 2-yard fade pass from Smith to Bailey with just 29 seconds to play in the first half, but couldn't even hold that. Baylor quarterback Nick Florence (he of the 581 yards and five TDs on 29-of-47 passing) simply went out and threw a 67-yard touchdown to Lanear Sampson. Bingo, it's 35-35 at the break, prompting Baylor coach Art Briles to say in a TV interview running off the field that it was a 0-0 ballgame again.Well, not quite. And not even when West Virginia opened up a three-touchdown lead, 56-35, in the third quarter did a lead even feel semi-comfortable. All it took was Baylor forcing one three-and-out by the WVU offense and the Bears were able to score three of the next four touchdowns and make it 63-56 with still almost 11 minutes to play.But that would be it because never again was either offense stopped. West Virginia made it 70-56 when Smith hit Bailey with a 39-yard touchdown pass after running five minutes off the clock. Baylor countered with a 10-play drive and a Florence TD pass to Terrance Williams (his 17th catch and 314th yard) to make it 70-63.But with 3:08 left, Briles made perhaps a fatal error in judgment. On the way to allowing 807 yards and 10 touchdowns, he gambled that his defense - armed with three timeouts - could stop West Virginia one time and get the ball back, so he eschewed an on-side kick."If you do it there and don't get it, then basically the game is over,'' Briles said. "You play percentages. We played percentages there and it didn't work out.''It didn't because J.D. Woods (career highs with 13 catches for 114 yards) made a spectacular one-handed grab of what Smith admitted was his worst pass of the day for one first down, then Garrison converted the third down shortly thereafter to seal the win.And so a crowd of 60,012 - almost all of whom stayed to the end - went home happy. They had come to see an explosion of offense and saw even more than they bargained for. For the record, it was the highest-scoring game ever between two Top 25 teams and even the most points ever produced in a game involving even one Top 25 team, according the footballgeography.com While it would be wise to get accustomed to the culture of such a shootout because they happen all the time in West Virginia's new conference, Holgorsen warned not to expect quite this level of offensive insanity each week. It's not likely to happen when the Mountaineers next play Saturday night at No. 12 Texas."I've been in this league going on 10 years now and it's the culture of the Big 12, but not everyone is like this,'' Holgorsen said. "It will be different next week. Texas has an unbelievable defense.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Increasing health consciousness of people has pushed retailers to innovate and bring in new healthier products which will attract customers. Food retailers are in a pursuit to offer the best and the healthiest food options, that too at a comparatively cheaper price. Also, the morning breakfast segment has been one of the areas of focus for most of the companies, leading to a variety of options such as Greek yogurts, egg sandwiches and smoothies.
This has hampered the demand for cereals, a traditional breakfast style. Therefore, the cereal provider Kellogg (NYSE:K) has been hit the hardest. This was evident when Kellogg posted its quarterly numbers which were not up to the mark, resulting in a decline of its share price.
Kellogg's revenue dropped 3% to $3.74 billion, whereas analysts were expecting it to be at $3.82 billion. Revenue from the North American market decreased 2.9% over last year. Also, International sales softened due to a new food tax reform in Mexico. Nonetheless, the bottom line was at $1.01, higher than the expectations of $0.98 per share.

The competitive scenario
Even peers such as Post Holdings (NYSE:POST) were also facing similar problems of lower cereal sales. Post Holdings too reported its first quarter results recently which failed to meet analysts' expectations. Although its revenue grew 77% to $438 million over last year, the increase was mainly because of a host of acquisitions made by the company. In fact, revenue from Post Foods, which includes cereal business under the name of Post brand, fell 2.4% to $239.5 million.
Nonetheless, the food retailer plans to make another acquisition of Michael Foods in order to expand its list of offerings in the breakfast segment. The buyout will add products such as dairy products and eggs to its existing portfolio of breakfast items. Acquisition of Michael Foods in addition to a number of acquisitions made recently should help the retailer drive revenue higher.
Also, peer General Mills' (NYSE:GIS) last quarter results were not so attractive, with a 1% decline in revenue over the prior year, clocking in at $4.4 billion. However, the company's efficient cost management measures drove earnings higher by 3% to $411 million. General Mills has adopted a different path to boost its sales. Unlike Post Holdings, it has opted for new product launches as a strategy to grow its business, especially in the gluten free segment. One of the growing segments for General Mills is the yogurt category since it has become very popular with customers. In fact, U.S. yogurt business grew 3% over last year, because of introduction of Greek Taste-Off during the quarter. Also, the food retailer has increased its advertising spending so that it can attract more customers to its products.
Therefore, it is not only Kellogg but also other industry players who are experiencing the problem of lower demand. However, each of them has a different strategy to revive their business.
However, Kellogg has been planning to make a number of efforts to lure customers. It plans to introduce new products which should lead to higher sales. Also, it is doing a good job of controlling its costs, which is evident from its bottom line. However, stiff competition from other food retailers, who provide alternatives to cereals, is a matter of concern. Therefore, staying away from these food retailers will be a prudent thing to do.

Man sexually assaulted in Clacton is believed to be latest in a string of men and boys approached
PUBLISHED: 15:03 28 October 2014 | UPDATED: 15:03 28 October 2014
Police are investigating after a man from Clacton was sexually assaulted on Sunday.
The incident, which took place on Anchor Road at 8:30pm on October 26, was reported to police yesterday after a 20-year-old man was acosted, and subsequently sexually assaulted.
Investigating officers believe the latest assault is linked to five previous incidents involving boys and young men aged 12 to 20 being approached by a man of large build in his 40s. Police have issued an e-fit of the man they believe is behind the incidents.
Detective Inspector Leighton Hammett, said: "This latest incident represents an escalation in this man's behaviour. Previously he has spoken to victims and tried to persuade them to accompany him. In this latest case he has grabbed the victim and pulled him into an alleyway off Anchor Road before sexually assaulting him.
"The description we have of the offender is very similar to the previous incidents and we believe it is the same man who we have already issued an e-fit of. If anyone recognises that picture or has any other information which could assist our enquiries I would urge them to contact us.
"In particular we are keen to speak to a man walking with three children along Anchor Road who passed the victim shortly after the attack. It is possible he may have seen the suspect and I would ask him to get in touch."
Three men have so far been arrested in connection with the enquiry. Two have been released without charge and the other is currently on police bail pending further enquiries until November 23.
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their anonymous online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

[20 April 2006]
Editor's Note: You can now download this comic book at RichJohnston.com.
As I began reading The Flying Friar, the faint sound of Remy Zero's Save Me appeared in the back of my mind. Why would I think of the theme song to Smallville while reading this book? Funny you should ask.
The Flying Friar tells the story of Saint Joseph of Copertino, a Catholic Saint who lived from 1603 to 1663 and was rumored to receive ecstatic visions, hear heavenly music and apparently was able to levitate, hence the term "Flying Friar".
While the existence of Saint Joseph is apparently real and his feats are documented, no proof could be found for some of the other characters listed in the book, namely Lionel and Lux Luther. Do you see why I heard Remy Zero now?
Yes, Johnston has taken the audacious step of merging the life story of a real-life holy person with the basic overall plot of Smallville. Creating a story that essentially is "What if Superman was the patron saint of all air travellers?"
Some might think that this comic is blasphemous, equating a Saint with a comic-book TV show. That certainly is one way of looking at it. I prefer to think of this book as pointing out the devote reverence that some fans give to certain characters.
I have a test for you: go to your favorite search engine and type in Saint Joseph of Copertino. I got 2,486 results. Now go and type in Superman. I received over 8 million results. Many of those results are web pages devoted to all things Superman. Some are devoted to his movies, some only to Smallville, some are all inclusive. The one thing these sites all have in common, besides Superman that is, is the almost religious fervor these people have for the character.
I don't know if Johnston intended this kind of comparison when he wrote the book. But the sign of good writing is that it raises questions and comparisons that even the writer hadn't originally intended.
Johnston's addition of the Superman mythos doesn't take anything away from the true story of Saint Joseph. Everything that you would find in a biography of the Saint is here, the Smallville mythology serves to flesh out story and adds a different dimension to the tale. The author writes a solid tale with excellent characterization and slices of humor where appropriate.
The artwork by Polish artist Thomas Nachlik is reminiscent of Phil Hester's and his detailed backgrounds bring to mind the work of Gerhard on Cerebus, which is high praise. It should be interesting to see where his artwork goes from here.
The Flying Friar was published by the now defunct Speakeasy Comics, so the chances of this issue being reprinted are slight. However, if your local comic store still has copies available, or Johnston finds a new publisher, you might want to pick a copy of it up. You might find yourself entertained.
