Last week, we covered ten of our favorite rock albums for 2010, which included records from My Chemical Romance, VersaEmerge, Foxy Shazam and more.
With new records from Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Kanye West, Coldplay and Beyoncé scheduled to drop, 2011 is already shaping up to be a big year for music. This week, we're taking a look at ten of the most anticipated rock releases, which stretch across subgenres from hardcore to electronica to indie rock.
Jack's Mannequin – TBA
After 2008's heartfelt release The Glass Passenger, Jack's Mannequin frontman Andrew McMahon is ready to release new material. Passenger, which chronicled McMahon's battle with leukemia, was a darker record then sunny debut Everything in Transit. But going on what we've heard so far, the new release will be yet another masterpiece, with plenty of well-executed piano-drenched pop rock.
Death Cab for Cutie – Codes and Keys (Spring)
Indie rock kings Death Cab for Cutie will be releasing their seventh album early next year. Frontman Ben Gibbard promises that this record will be "less guitar-centric" than any of Death Cab's previous records, which have typically been of slower, chord-based song structure. Lyrically, bassist Nick Harmer insists that this album will have a much broader emotional scope than 2008's Narrow Stairs.
Black Cards – TBA
After the band announced their hiatus, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz decided to keep doing what he does best"make undeniably catchy pop music. Teaming up with then-unknown vocalist Bebe Rexha, Saves the Day drummer Spencer Peterson and The Receiving End of Sirens guitarist Nate Patterson, Wentz created Black Cards. The group's music (especially Rexha's vibrato-soaked vocals) is reminscent of early No Doubt, with an influx of dance-worthy electronic beats.
Taking Back Sunday – TBA (Spring)
Taking Back Sunday's lineup has changed so many times that their Wikipedia page has a full chart to help fans understand the eleven-year timeline of the group's career. After a few missteps with new members"even frontman Adam Lazzara apologized for 2009's New Again"the original lineup is back, making this one of the most anticipated releases for any fan of TBS' genre-defining album, Tell All Your Friends. From the sounds of the demos that have already been posted, it looks like TBS is returning to their roots and ready to make a big comeback.
No Doubt – TBA
It's amazing to think that ska-princess-turned-pop-superstar Gwen Stefani had any time in 2010 to return to the studio and make a brand new record with her band, No Doubt. Since the band's humble beginnings in the late '80s, Stefani has become a powerhouse solo artist, entrepreneur, fashion designer, wife and mother. But, somehow, she was able to make some time for writing music, and No Doubt's comeback album is eagerly awaited by fans young and old. As of now, details have been pretty hush-hush about this release, but we're betting that the new No Doubt will be bigger and better than ever.
Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.) – February
After a full-year hiatus from the stage, charismatic ex-Chiodos frontman Craig Owens is back. Joined by members of Underminded, From First to Last, Story of the Year and Matchbook Romance, Owens has already made a huge splash on the modern rock scene with his new project, D.R.U.G.S. The band will be releasing their album in February, before they head out on Alternative Press' AP Spring Tour 2011. From the sounds of the tracks already released, this post-hardcore supergroup is poised for a massive takeover.
fun. – TBA (Summer)
As we learned in our Q&A with Nate Ruess of fun., the group is hard at work on their sophomore LP and are hoping to release it next summer. The band's debut album, Aim and Ignite, was an exciting, refreshing and eclectic mix of everything from indie pop to showtunes. Fans are definitely on the edge of their seats, waiting to see what this band will do next.
Cobra Starship – TBA
Still riding high off the success of their latest record, Hot Mess, Cobra Starship have already begun recording their next album. Hot Mess spawned the 2009 smash "Good Girls Go Bad" and launched the band from the small-scale modern rock scene to rulers of Top 40 radio. Though no details have been released about the new album, Cobra's history dictates that it will be chock-full of undeniably catchy, dance-worthy rock numbers.
The Mars Volta – TBA
GRAMMY-award winning experimental rock group The Mars Volta have kept pretty quiet about their upcoming release, which will be the sixth in the band's career. The band entered pre-production back in May, and guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez recently announced via Twitter that they were putting the finishing touches on the record. This will also be the first record where vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala will be writing all of his own lyrics, with no guidelines or concept provided by chief songwriter Lopez.
Emery – TBA (January/February)
Seattle-based rock group Emery delighted their fans when they returned to their roots on 2009's …In Shallow Seas We Sail. Full of charging instrumentation, sweeping vocals and shimmering with top-notch production, the record left Emery fans satisfied, but also craving more. The band announced that they are planning to release the album in the early months of 2011, hopefully with some tour dates to follow!

It is always sad to say goodbye to a year that brought so many good things to Latin music. And it is even more sentimental to let go off a decade that saw so many Latin artists (both new and old) gaining international recognition and becoming world famous stars. So what now? What lies ahead in the future of la música latina? Will the world keep digging it? Do we have many more years to sing en español?
I certainly think so. What better way to start a new decade than with plans for so many new albums and comebacks from stars we love? Here is a preview of what 2011 will bring to la musica latina:
- There is a lot of buzz about Alejandra Guzman releasing a new album in 2011. All we know is that this album will celebrate her 2oth anniversary as an artist.
- Spanish pop singer David Bisbal will also be celebrating his trajectory as an artist (10 years) with an album in 2011. In a press release, Bisbal said the new album is going to be simpler and more elegant that his previous work.
- Avid fans of Maná will be delighted to hear that Drama y Luz (which means drama and light) will be the name of the new album that the group is releasing in February of next year.
- Favorite Latin duo Wisin y Yandel are also preparing a new production for the upcoming year. Bring it on!
- In case you were wondering, J Lo is also working on a new production titled Love? for the beginning of 2011.
- Another favorite Latino who will release a new album next year is Ricky Martin. The Puerto Rican star's new album will have songs in both English and Spanish.
- Word on the street is that alternative rock band Molotov will be making a comeback in 2011. After years of being away from the scene, we certainly can't wait.
These are only a few examples of how bright the future is for la música latina, in 2011 and beyond. We are convinced that the world will keep digging reggeaton, merengue, bachata, cumbia and everything en español for many years to come. Don't forget to visit our Latin Channel and get to know tomorrow's Latin stars. ¡Provecho!

text: What are the major signs of a bad heater core? I've suspected for quite some time that mine is going south because it started to smell like exhaust whenever I turned on the heat. Lately it's been exceptionally cold in Columbus, OH and my car has been running very hot almost to the point of overheating. The only way I can get the temperature to go back down is to turn the heat on and off until warm air comes out and takes heat out of the engine bay. Has anybody else experienced anything similar to what I've said? It's important to mention that I installed a Mishimoto radiator and a new OEM fan about three months ago. I can't imagine that the radiator or the fan has gone bad already. I have a small coolant leak on the driver's side in the front as well. I suspect that it's just a cracked hose though. I haven't been able to investigate it due to weather. If anyone has experienced this or knows a solution, please let me know.

However, the tree surgeons working next door have taken out our phone line, so until BT come and replace it we have no internet connection. I have managed to set up a temporay dial up connection at another location, so I can download orders, answer e-mails, etc, but uploading picture heavy threads will be a no-no until the broadband is restored. I'll update this thread when the problems are resolved... In the meantime, if you want to take a tour of the website, you'll find it here... www.polishedbliss.co.uk There is a store area with products for sale from what we consider to be the best detailing brands currently on the market (Jeffs Werkstatt, Menzerna, Blackfire, Poorboy's and Meguiars), plus a detailed advice section containing guides to almost every aspect of detailing, plus an up to date news section and monthly show n shine conmpetition section.

FOIA Lawsuit seeks information about denial of reproductive health care in Catholic hospitals
Rewire (May 24, 2016): ACLU Sues for Complaints Filed Against Catholic Hospitals for Denying Reproductive Health Care, by Nicole Knight Shine:
The ACLU has brought an action under the Freedom of Information Act against the federal Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS) seeking complaints against Catholic hospitals for denial of emergency medical treatment. CMS receives and investigates complaints of violations of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, which requires that hospitals receiving federal funds provide emergency care to stabilize a medical condition, including a miscarriage. The ACLU complaint describes instances where women seeking treatment for miscarriages were turned away from emergency rooms at Catholic hospitals. Religious Directives written by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops forbid doctors in Catholic hospitals from performing abortions unless a woman is in grave danger.
Roughly one in six hospital beds are in a Catholic facility, with the top four U.S. Catholic health systems expected to take in more $90 billion from Medicare and Medicaid in 2016, according to the ACLU's 10-page lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Congressional Efforts to Prevent Use of RFRA to Discriminate
ACLU Blog (May 18, 2016): The Religious Refusals Fight Comes to Washington, by Ian S. Thompson:
When the Supreme Court remanded Zubik v. Burwell last week, it avoided answering questions about the limits of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The petitioners in Burwell argued that a generally applicable law (the Affordable Care Act's requirement that employee health plans include contraceptive coverage) should not apply to them and that the accommodation given to them (that they fill out a sheet indicating their religious objection, allowing them to avoid paying for contraceptive coverage, but triggering coverage by their insurer) substantially burdened their free exercise of religion. The Supreme Court's failure to issue a decision may embolden arguments that religion can justify opting out of non-discrimation laws and other laws of general application.
And now Congress is getting into the act. Last month, an Oklahoma Congressman added an amendment to the the defense authorization bill that would allow religiously affiliated government contractors and grantees to discriminate in hiring. According to the ACLU, the bill would allow these grantees to claim a right to:
- Fire a woman who uses birth control or who is pregnant and unmarried.
- Fire a man who marries his same-sex partner.
- Refuse to interview anyone, however qualified, based on their religious beliefs, effectively adding language to job applications that says: "Jews, Sikhs, Catholics, Mormons need not apply.
So far efforts to strip the amendment from the defense bill have been unsuccessful. But efforts also are underway to curb the use of religion as an excuse to discriminate. Reps. Bobby Scott (D-VA) and Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass) have introduced the Do No Harm Act to amend RFRA to ensure that it can't be used as a justification for discrimination or to otherwise harm others.

Rise of Religious Hospitals Threatens Women's Health
ACLU Blog (Feb. 25, 2016): The Rising Threat of Religious Hospitals Denying Women Medical Care, by Alexa Kolbi-Molinas:
Catholic hospitals across the country follow the religious directives of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This means that such hospitals will, for example, withhold medical services when a pregnant woman is hemorrhaging until her death is sufficiently imminent rather than induce labor to complete a miscarriage.
Currently, 10 of the 25 largest hospitals in the US are Catholic-affiliated. These hospitals receive federal funds, but they follow religious policies that deviate from the medical standard of care. These unlawful procedures have prompted the ACLU to file suit in cases such as Tamesha Means v. United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in order to force changes in policy.

Female Genital Cutting in Indonesia
New York Times (Feb. 5, 2016): Female Genital Cutting: Not Just "an African Problem," by Pam Belluck and Joe Cochrane:
New documentation shows that female genital cutting is widespread in Indonesia, one of the most populous countries in Asia and the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation. It is estimated that 60 million women and girls have been cut, using a technique that is less invasive than is common in Africa. Current regulations require the cutting to be performed by a medical professional who may do no more than scratch the clitoral hood without injuring the clitoris. Most cutting is performed on infants. Unicef has been working in Indonesia to end the practice.
The practice of female genital cutting persists, despite reductions in its incidence worldwide. The reductions are not keeping up with population growth with the result that the number of girls and woman being cut is expected to rise over the next 15 years. Cultural beliefs about the practice vary, including that without it women cannot truly be women and cannot marry.

Does Hobby Lobby Open Door To Renewed Conscience-Based Claims for Exemptions from Abortion Restrictions?
MSNBC: Satanists Aren't the Only Ones Following Hobby Lobby's Lead, by Irin Carmon:
On Monday, the Satanic Temple drew headlines for declaring that, in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, it was "asserting a religious exemption from the burden of state mandated 'informational' abortion materials for those who share their deeply held beliefs."
In other words, they wanted a conscience clause from laws intended to dissuade women from having abortions by mandating an ultrasound or that a doctor impart biased or medically-inaccurate information about abortion. . . .
But the Satanists are hardly the first to use religion to make an affirmative argument for reproductive rights. For decades, pro-choice activists have been trying to make a religious claim for their view – and generally failing. . . .
But now that the Supreme Court has opened the door to more robust religious exemptions under RFRA, there might be a new opportunity for supporters of abortion rights to try their luck. . . .

Court Issues Order on Contraception Mandate that Reinforces Female Justices' Concerns About Hobby Lobby Ruling's Scope
The New York Times: Birth Control Order Deepens Divide Among Justices, by Adam Liptak:
In a decision that drew an unusually fierce dissent from the three female justices, the Supreme Court sided Thursday with religiously affiliated nonprofit groups in a clash between religious freedom and women's rights.
The decision temporarily exempts a Christian college from part of the regulations that provide contraception coverage under the Affordable Care Act. . . .
The reason this order is so frustrating is that Justice Alito's opinion in Hobby Lobby emphasized that its ruling was justified in large measure because the accommodation already provided to certain non-profits could simply be extended to closely held for-profits. In relying on the existing accommodation, the Court implied that the accommodation was constitutionally acceptable. Indeed, the Court dismissed Justice Ginsburg's concerns about the opinion's scope, referring to the existing accommodation for non-profits and saying, "[O]ur holding is very specific." Justice Kennedy in concurrence even felt obliged to issue a separate reassurance: "[I]t should be said that the Court's opinion does not have the breadth and sweep ascribed to it by the respectful and powerful dissent." Justice Kennedy pointed out that "there is an existing, recognized, workable, and already-implemented framework to provide coverage" and "[t]hat accommodation equally furthers the Government's interest but does not impinge on the plaintiffs' religious beliefs" (emphasis added). The majority itself assured that the goverment's accommodation "does not impinge on the plaintiffs' religious belief that providing insurance coverage for the contraceptives at issue here violates their religion."
There was a clue, however, in the majority's opinion, that left Justice Ginsburg and others concerned as to whether the Court was sincere in suggesting it would ultimately find the existing accommodation adequate. The Court noted, "We do not decide today whether an approach of this type complies with RFRA for purposes of all religious claims," referring to Little Sisters of the Poor, a case in which the Court issued a previous order addressing the accommodation as applied to a non-profit entity. This caveat, buried in an opinion full of reassurances about the decision's narrow scope, coupled with today's order supports Justice Ginsburg's concern that the true implications of Hobby Lobby are broad and as yet unclear.

Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Hobby Lobby
Justice Alito wrote the opinion. There are qualifications to the Court's ruling. It appears to be limited to closely held corporations and to contraception, for example. SCOTUSblog is live blogging the decision here. The opinion is available here. I will be participating in a Twitter chat hosted by UltraViolet to answer questions about the opinion.

National Survey Shows Women Object to Religious Exemptions
Planned Parenthood: Women Voters' Reaction to Religious Exemptions, by Hart Research Associates:
Overview of Key Findings:
Our new national survey of 1,004 women voters between the ages of 18 and 55 shows that a large majority strongly object to the religious exemptions for corporations that are being sought in the Hobby Lobby case.
- Women voters consistently and overwhelmingly disagree with the idea that corporations should be able to exempt themselves from observing laws because those laws violate their religious beliefs.
- Women age 55 and younger specifically reject corporations' claims that they should be exempted from covering prescription birth control in their health plans because of religious objections to contraception.
- Democrats and independents reject these claims overwhelmingly, while Republicans are divided evenly.

More Opinion on Hobby Lobby and the Vetoed Arizona Bill
The New York Times - opinion column: Arizona Did Us All a Favor, by Timothy Egan:
YOU'RE a fundamentalist Mormon — that is, the breakaway sect, not recognized by the main church, with a scary compound in Northern Arizona. Women wear long prairie dresses, men rule with an iron fist. You believe in a host of things that violate civil and even criminal law. But your beliefs are "sincerely held." They come directly from God.
Until Gov. Jan Brewer joined the avalanche of sanity and vetoed Arizona's so-called religious liberty bill, you may have found some protection in the law. The bill was a green light for bigotry. And indeed, the measure gave those with "sincerely held" religious beliefs the right to refuse service to perceived sinners.
But if you drill down on the logic that all but three of the state's House Republican legislators tried to enshrine into law, you see a very un-American tenet at work — far beyond the implications for gays and lesbians. You can follow this strain of reasoning up to a pivotal case that will be heard later this month by the Supreme Court. . . .

U.N. Committee Report Blasts Vatican for Policies on Sexual Abuse and Attitudes on Sexuality, Contraception, and Abortion
The Huffington Post/AP: UN Report Denounces Vatican For Sex Abuse And Stands On Contraception, Abortion And Homosexuality, by Nicole Winfield:
The Vatican "systematically" adopted policies that allowed priests to rape and molest tens of thousands of children over decades, a U.N. human rights committee said Wednesday, urging the Holy See to open its files on pedophiles and bishops who concealed their crimes.
In a devastating report hailed by abuse victims, the U.N. committee severely criticized the Holy See for its attitudes toward homosexuality, contraception and abortion and said it should change its own canon law to ensure children's rights and their access to health care are guaranteed. . . .

The Potentially Broad Implications of a Supreme Court Ruling on the Contraception Mandate
SFGate: Supreme Court birth control ruling could ripple widely, by Bob Egelko:
If a corporate employer can refuse on religious grounds to provide workplace insurance for contraception, what about employers with religious objections to blood transfusions or vaccinations? Or those who believe in healing by prayer?
Those questions lurk below the surface of the challenge the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review to regulations in the new federal health care law requiring employers to make contraceptive coverage available to their employees. That mandate, two groups of corporate owners argue, violates their freedom of religion. . . .

Pope's Popularity Does Not Extend to Conservative U.S. Catholics
The New York Times: Conservative U.S. Catholics Feel Left Out of the Pope's Embrace, Laurie Goodstein:
. . . In the eight months since he became pope, Francis has won affection worldwide for his humble mien and common touch. His approval numbers are skyrocketing. Even atheists are applauding.
But not everyone is so enchanted. Some Catholics in the church's conservative wing in the United States say Francis has left them feeling abandoned and deeply unsettled. On the Internet and in conversations among themselves, they despair that after 35 years in which the previous popes, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, drew clear boundaries between right and wrong, Francis is muddying Catholic doctrine to appeal to the broadest possible audience. . . .

Christian Conservatives See Need to Regroup Following Election
The New York Times: Christian Right Failed to Sway Voters on Issues, by Laurie Goodstein:
Christian conservatives, for more than two decades a pivotal force in American politics, are grappling with Election Day results that repudiated their influence and suggested that the cultural tide — especially on gay issues — has shifted against them.
They are reeling not only from the loss of the presidency, but from what many of them see as a rejection of their agenda. They lost fights againstsame-sex marriage in all four states where it was on the ballot, and saw anti-abortion-rights Senate candidates defeated and two states vote to legalize marijuana for recreational use. . . .

D.C. Circuit Upholds Federal Funding of Stem Cell Research
NBC News: Court rules controversial stem cell research is legal, by Maggie Fox:
The federal government may continue to pay for controversial human embryonic stem cell research, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.
The three-judge panel says the government has correctly interpreted a law that bans the use of federal funds to destroy human embryos for research. The ruling is unlikely to put the issue to rest and one of the judges pleaded for Congress to make clear what the government should and should not be able to do. . . .

HAIFA (Mar. 24)
Funeral services will be held tomorrow for Abba Khoushi, Mayor of Haifa for the past 18 years, who died at the Rothschild Hospital here of heart failure early today at the age of 71. Mr. Khoushi was hospitalized a week ago for what was diagnosed as a slight heart attack.
One of Israel's most colorful and most formidable political figures, Mr. Khoushi was born in Turka. Austria and settled in Palestine in 1920 when Haifa was a minor port. He worked as a longshoreman on the docks from 1920 to 1938 when he became general-secretary of Haifa's Workers' Council. He was elected to the first Knesset on the Mapai ticket in 1949 and served until 1951 when he was elected Haifa's mayor. Mr. Khoushi was a member of the executive committee of Histadrut, Israel's labor federation, and of the council of Mapai. He was active in the Haganah, Jewish Palestine's defense force of pre-State-hood days, and had to seek refuge with a Druze family on Mount Carmel when he found himself on the British "wanted" list.
As mayor of Israel's chief seaport and center of heavy industry, Mr. Khoushi administered a city of 300,000 with the energy and flare of the late Fiorello H. LaGuardia, the mayor of New York to whom he was often compared. He was an early riser and each morning he personally inspected the streets for cleanliness and tidiness. The door to his office in Haifa's modern City Hall was always open and the mayor frequently gave personal attention to the problems of individual citizens. He spoke Arabic fluently and his relationship with Haifa's Arab and Druze communities was always considered excellent.

Games Inbox: Gaming shelf lives, Jeff Minter, and Kid Icarus 3D
The morning Inbox questions the artistic integrity of the Zelda series, as one reader worries about not understanding Metal Gear Solid. To add your own comments to the Inbox email us at
Small windowsReading Rankmed's reader feature, I share many of his frustrations with retail game outlets. So many of the shelves are choked with trade-ins, there's next to no space for new product. Yesterday I couldn't find a copy of Portal 2 in any of the main game retailers, and I haven't been able to find a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles at all.Why do games have a 'shelf life'? If I wanted to get an old movie or album chances are that I could find it on the shelf in my nearest HMV, but that's not the case with games. I can see why last gen games would be taken off the shelf, but it's disgusting that games that are not even a year old can simply vanish without a trace in order to make room for more trade-ins. This attitude really has to change, or I have the horrible feeling that someday all gamers will end up suffering for it.Andrew MiddlemasMaybe not a ban, but could there be a way for the major retailers to pass on a cut from the pre-owned game sale to the publisher? Since each game has a unique barcode, it should be easy to track the game's publisher, assuming they still exist. Of course, private sellers like those on eBay should be exempt.ttfp saylow (gamertag)Bearded wonderBeen a massive fan of Jeff Minter since my Atari ST days. Great days ahead, I've just discovered him again on the Apple App Store. Been lost in Minotaur Rescue and Minotron for past week. Just downloaded GoatUp and Deflex. Obviously a great interface for Jeff. Anyone who loves great gameplay needs to seriously check them out. Has he any more games planned? Tempted to dust down the old Jaguar!Paul McSeries primerNot much has been mentioned about the Metal Gear Solid HD collection, having only dabbled with 2 and played a bit of 4 before getting rid of my PlayStation 3, as a 360 gamer I am seriously considering getting it, do you think I need to pick up the original PSone game first as for some strange reason it's not on there?zombiekicker (gamertag)GC:It won't hurt, although the chances of understanding what's going on are never very high – no matter how many others you've played.

Financial contradictionI agree with you GameCentral, regarding artists producing many works on similar themes. I think the point I was trying but failing to make is that Nintendo are doing this for financial reasons and not because of a grand artistic vision and therefore this shows in the very good but inferior sequels.This of course stands contrary to a lot of artists who are anonymous and destitute in their own époque and therefore their artistic vision is not compromised by financial incentive. Also I may be wrong but isn't Ocarina the last Zelda where Miyamoto was the game director and not producer? I think it is also interesting that he wants to take a step back and make some smaller games for his own gratification which maybe hints at his own sense of not wanting to repeat himself.Just for the record your example of Van Gogh was good but I prefer Carravaggio and his religiously themed body of work myself, but hell apples and oranges.Mr VerbosityPS: I'm aware Carravaggio was commissioned by the Vatican and therefore had some financial incentive so get stuffed if I like to contradict myself. Right Zack.PPS: Keep up the sarcastic comments.GC:We do sympathise with what you're saying, but to make your point you focused on the two worst entries in the Zelda franchise, while admitting you'd never played Skyward Sword and not mentioning Majora's Mask. Every video games publisher makes games for financial reasons and there's nothing we'd love more than to see a brand new big budget franchise from Nintendo. But if sequels like Skyward Sword and Super Mario Galaxy are the alternative we'll take that too.Best worst game movieRE: Gunhed. Blazing Lazers was the American name for Gunhed as it was called in Japan. If you're interested this is one of the very much lesser known video games that were turned into a film (and you all thought Super Mario Bros. was the first, right?) I'm sure you can pick it up on Amazon for a couple of quid but here's a video link to satiate you in the meanwhile.
No, I have this gem of a film and I'd certainly say it was one of those 'so rubbish it's good' ones. Giant whiskey-fuelled model robots and a mysterious resource known as 'Tex-Mexium, who could ask for more?SvenGC:Actually, the movie came first so it was just an ordinary film tie-in, but the film still looks awesome.To be this good takes agesInspired by Yu Suzuki's efforts to rescue Shenmue III from the clutches of an uncaring Sega, please share this Facebook page to help fans of the series show our support and unwavering belief that one day, if the stars align, we may actually get a conclusion to Ryo Hazuki's epic tale of revenge!Dynamite Headdy
3D soundDo you at GC or any readers know if you can connect a 3DS up to a 5.1 surround sound system via a 3.5mm jack to RCA cable? The sound isn't as loud as I would like on the 3DS.Omen66.PS: Not game related but do you know, or anybody else know, if there's any plans to bring out complete Pokémon seasons to DVD? Most people on forums tell me to 'just download them for free'. But I don't want that I want them legit thanks. They have them in Australia but my DVD/Blu-ray player ain't region free so that's an issue.GC:We can't help with either question we're afraid (although the 3DS business sounds very unlikely to us). The simplest solution for Pokémon might be to buy a region free DVD player, we're sure you can pick one up for under £50.Reader's Review: 3D Classics Kid IcarusAs I have mentioned in the Inbox, Nintendo are releasing this title for free if you register two 3DS games before 31st January 2012. For details see here . For those who don't know, 3D Classics Kid Icarus is an enhanced re-release of the NES cult classic Kid Icarus, which was originally developed by the creators of the original Metroid. You play as an angel called Pit and the game is essentially a platform game where you have to jump between platforms and shoot various creatures with your trusty bow and arrow. The game only ever received one sequel on the Game Boy, Kid Icarus: Of Myths & Monsters, back in 1991. Though a re-release of Kid Icarus on Game Boy Advance was released in 2004 and again on Wii's Virtual Console in 2007. The character Pit did feature in Wii's Super Smash Bros. Brawl, though, but the upcoming Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS is due for release 23rd March 2012 and will see the character's first proper adventure in nearly 21 years!
3D Classics Kid Icarus is obviously meant to create hype for Kid Icarus's new adventure then, but this is a gorgeous looking little gem in its own right. The 3D effect mixed with the 8-bit retro style graphics are a joy and the lovely blips and bleeps will take any older gamer instantly back to the good old days with pleasant and catchy chip tunes playing in the background. This game is very old school though, and it is hard. Really hard!Like all the games back in the 8-bit and 16-bit era this is all about trying again and having that one more go. Each time you start at the beginning and will steadily get better and progress further into the game. The game offers different weapon types and power-ups and you collect hearts which essentially work the same as coins in Mario or rings in Sonic or any type of collectible in any platform game ever! It's about getting further than your last go, beating your score, collecting more hearts and it is very addictive. If you are able to get this for free then it is an absolute steal! A great little forgotten gem brought back via the magic of a 3D Classics game. If you missed this first time round nearly 25 years ago or any of the re-release I mentioned, then this is well worth a look. It will probably be available, after the promotion to get it for free, on 3DS' eShop for £5.40 as this seems to be the standard price for a 3D Classics game. Even if you have to pay it is well worth it. Great little retro platformer and a good way to whet your appetite for Kid Icarus: Uprising in a couple of month's time. In Short:A great new version of a forgotten Nintendo classic that offer plenty of value for money. Especially if you pick this up for free as part of the promotion! A very retro 8-bit platform game which you start at the bottom and work your way up the screen, jumping from platform to platform, shooting monsters with your bow and arrow and trying to progress further and further which proves highly addictive. Pros:Has plenty of 8-bit retro charm, with gorgeous old school pixelated sprites and funky 8-bit music playing catchy tunes. The added 3D depth makes these old style graphics look stunning and the game itself is a very addictive little platform game. It's free if you register two full price 3DS retail games. Cons:Start from the beginning every time you die might have been OK back in the day but it might seem frustrating. The game is fairly challenging, so a save system would have been welcome.

Pharma shooting for the moon?
Given the recent glut of Pharma companies snapping up baby biotechs, you could well be wondering if some of them are betting the farm on the last roll of the dice or shooting for the moon like Apollo 11.
It's a crapshoot though, as R&D offers no guarantees as the growing list of drugs failing in Phase III development over the last 12 months shows.
Is desperation starting to set in or should we be thinking that Pharma is now moving to Las Vegas from New Jersey?
Think about it, BMS already had the licensing rights to Medarex's ipilimumab, so why bother buying the company? Perhaps they thought the stock would rise or that the pipeline of autoimmune or cancer drugs in phase I was so compelling?
The Daily Finance had a useful perspective:
million in the March quarter and lost $47 million. The firm's
attraction is in its future. Bristol is paying a remarkably high price
for that future and there is no guarantee that the risk will pay off.
But big pharma does not have much of a future without new drug
pipelines, so it will pay for what it does not have."
Indeed, but one wonders how MedImmune and AstraZeneca are feeling right now, as they have the co-promotion option on Medarex's MEDI-545 and MEDI-546, which target the anti-IFNα Pathway in lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
Ilaris, another Medarex compound, was recently approved by the FDA for cryopyrin associated periodic syndromes including Muckle-Wells syndrome. It is codeveloped and promoted by Novartis. There are several others in a similar situation including Centocor/Ortho Biotech (Stelara and Simponi), GSK/Genmab (ofatumumab), which was recently filed for FDA approval in CLL and the drug also appears to have activity in rheumatoid arthritis. There are several other deals for earlier compounds with Merck, Genmab and Pharmathene.
So if the BMS purchase of Medarex goes through, I wonder what will happen with the existing co-promotion deals? Do BMS cancel them and take them on themselves, or honour the agreements and bank the revenues?
It should be an interesting to see what evolves from the deal one way or the other as we sit by the river watching the boats and debris float by.

Market Maker Surveillance Report. CAT, NOK, MO, RDN, NBG, FNMAS, Bullishly Biased Price Friction For Tuesday, May 7th 2013
May 08, 2013 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Tuesday. Since October 2008 market makers are now required to be on the bid as much as they are on the offer and for like amounts of stock. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Tuesday there were 3913 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3235 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2077 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose. CATERPILLAR INC. (NYSE:CAT), Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK), Altria Group Inc (NYSE:MO), Radian Group Inc (NYSE:RDN), National Bank of Greece SA (NYSE:NBG), Federal National Mortgage Association Fannie Mae (OTC:FNMAS). To access Friction Factor, Naked Short Data and SqueezeTrigger Prices on all stocks please visit
Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction CAT $2.120 2.42% 2,616,707 25.14% 3,846,814 36.96% -1,230,107 Abnormal NOK $0.090 2.65% 14,230,788 33.67% 15,685,775 37.11% -1,454,987 Abnormal MO $0.440 1.22% 2,719,038 21.89% 5,937,248 47.80% -3,218,210 Abnormal RDN $0.580 4.64% 5,090,626 32.63% 6,170,935 39.56% -1,080,309 Abnormal NBG $0.070 7.22% 2,294,568 36.68% 3,488,167 55.77% -1,193,599 Abnormal FNMAS $0.053 1.16% 279,746 1.17% 11,924,025 49.94% -11,644,279 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Tuesday and their stock prices rose. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.
For example, the chart above shows CAT with 1,230,107 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $2.12000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.

Afghanistan: regional conflagration fuse?
Appearing at recent hearings in the US Congress, General Joseph Dunford, who is to lead the ISAF beginning with January, said the US military will probably stay in Afghanistan in a support and advisory role, leaving it to the new Afghan army to deal with the Taliban and other insurgent groups.
We have an opinion from Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Professor Viacheslav Belokritnitsky:
"The Afghan government has invited the Taliban to join mainstream politics and take part in Afghanistan's next presidential elections scheduled for April 5 2014. The residual military presence of the United States may help the government and the Taliban come to terms on many issues, including security and drug trade. In the event their tentative rapprochement fails, Afghanistan is likely to break up into at least three parts, constantly warring with one another and sustaining themselves economically with the help of the opium industry. The consequences for Russia and former Soviet Central Asia would be very serious, to say the least. The only way to avert them is to bolster national reconciliation in Afghanistan."
Already, there has been speculation about the need for an international 'cordon sanitaire' around Afghanistan. For instance, Colonel Ted Donelly of the US Army War College has proposed and team=up of the US, Russia and China for preventing Central Asia's Fergana Valley, where the borders of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan meet, from becoming an unruly hotbed of Islamic extremism and terrorism along the lines of Pakistan's tribal territories. In a similar vein, head of the post-Soviet Collective security Organization Nikolai Bordiuzha has proposed close cooperation between the CSTO and NATO for the sake of containing potential threats from Afghanistan.
Many argue geopolitical rivalries must be put to one side when common security is at stake.

Labour unions have now called for a nationwide strike to begin on Monday. This comes following a series of demonstrations held over the past week. Sectarian violence in the country has also worsened recently, causing a rise in tensions on the street.

How do I set up my Netgear wifi card? I have a WEP network.
I'm a newbie. I started to use Linux a few days ago. How do I set up my Netgear wifi card on Open SUSE? I have a WEP network.
There is a little difference between OpenSUSE 10.0 and OpenSUSE 10.1, and I cannot tell which you have. Still, you should have a good idea how to do it by looking at the link below and scrolling down to the section entitled "Setting up a wireless card."

Even though it's been months since Chicago up-and-comer Lil JoJo was killed in a fatal shooting. Now, in a recent interview with BET, the mother of the slain rapper speaks on Chief Keef's possible involvement in the case.
Robin Russel, the mother of the late Lil JoJo, said that she believes Chief Keef is directly involved in the death of her son. She said that while she doesn't believe Keef actually pulled the trigger on her son, she explained that she believes he paid someone off for the murder.
"Chief Keef [is responsible]…I don't believe him, himself pulled the trigger but I believe he paid somebody to do it," she said. "I would like justice to come from this and to show kids it's a better way to get an education and yes, I fear for my own life. [Police] have a couple leads, they're still working on it."
Check out the full interview below.

I had an issue trying other ways of always returning to blue recovery, so thought this would help those with the same issue.
Download Samsung drivers from HERE.
Download Odin (computer program) from HERE.
Download ClockworkMod Recovery from HERE. (place this file somewhere on your computer where you can easily locate it).
Download "update.zip" file from HERE. (place this file on the root of your sdcard...not within any folders).
Download "su-22.214.171.124.x.zip" file from HERE. (place this file on the root of your sdcard...not within any folders).
1. Install Samsung drivers on your computer.
2. Open Odin on your computer. (You may need to disable antivirus programs for this to work properly)
3. Power off your phone and remove the battery.
4. Plug the stock USB cord which came with your phone into a powered USB port on your computer (usually on the back of the CPU).
5. Press and hold the "volume down" button on your phone, and continue to hold it while plugging the USB cord into your phone. This will put your phone into download mode. You'll see a large yellow triangle on the screen of your phone. You will also see one of the small boxes in Odin turn yellow, as well as "Added" appearing in the message box.
6. Press the PDA button in Odin (NOT the PHONE button) and navigate to the cwr-all.tar file you downloaded earlier.
7. Press START. When this process has finished, you'll be notified in Odin (succeeded 1/failed 0) and your phone screen will go blank.
8. Unplug your phone and re-insert battery.
9. Press and hold BOTH volume buttons and the power button simultaneously. Hold all three until you see "SAMSUNG" appear. This will boot your phone into recovery. If your text is red, then you're already in ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery and you can skip the rest of this step. If the recovery menu is blue, then you're in stock recovery. Use the volume rocker to navigate down to "apply sdcard:update.zip" and select using the "Home" softkey. This will take you to CWM Recovery (red text menu). If your phone does not boot into recovery here, just pull the battery or wait for it to boot up and then power it down and try this again. It may take a couple tries for you to get it right.
10. When you see the red text and "CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery 2.5.1x" at the top, use the volume rocker to navigate down to "Wipe data/factory reset." Press the power button to select, and then navigate to yes, and press the power button again to select. Do this 3 times.
11. Scroll down to "Wipe cache partition," use power button to select, and then highlight and select "Yes." Do this 3 times.
12. Scroll down to "advanced" and then select "Wipe dalvik cache." Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select. Do this 3 times.
13. Press the "Menu" softkey to return to the previous menu in CWM Recovery.
14. Navigate down to "Install zip from sdcard." Highlight it and press the power button to select.
15. Navigate to "choose zip from sdcard" and select.
16. Navigate to the rooted "su-126.96.36.199.x.zip" file that you downloaded earlier, and select it. Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select.
17. When you're advised of completion, press the "Menu" softkey to go back to the previous CWR screen, then highlight and select "reboot system now."
At this point your phone will reboot and you'll be rooted with fully bloated ED01 Froyo. Open up your app drawer. You should see an app called "SuperUser". If it's there, you're done! Now you can think about possibly moving on to a custom ROM and/or kernel.
Don't break your phone! It's not my prob if you do! Good Luck, This did work and I am going good!

Since Savage doesn't seem to be able to respond to my inquiry and no dealers seem to be able to get me a Predator Max in .243Win, I'm looking at other options. The Hawkeye M77 is available in the configuration that I want, I just have no feedback on them. Anyone out there have a Hawkeye or shot one at least? The 77's I've had are OK but never been tack drivers and that's what I want from this little Varmint Project.

Categories: New Templates
Happy February & thank you again for being Members of the ProjectManagement.com community!
This month, in addition to our usual "template release", we are including 5 NEW templates from our friends at PMI as well as 3 of our own new templates!
Download these quick before they're back in the PREMIUM library! These are all examples of premium content available 24/7 to our Premium Members. However, they are free to every registered member through Friday, March 14th. We hope these make your life a bit easier – helping us fulfill our mission of making YOU more successful. If you are not already a Premium Plus member but would like to be, Premium Plus membership is available at a $50 discount using the code "KEEP50".
The following premium templates are available to all ProjectManagement.com members until 3/14. We hope you find them useful.
Assumption and Constraint Log (NEW THIS MONTH FROM PMI!)
You can incorporate this log into the Scope Statement, or let it stand alone. For planning purposes, assumptions are factors that are considered to be true or real without proof; while constraints are an applicable restriction or limitation (internal or external to a project) that will affect the performance of the project or process.
Project Scope Statement (NEW THIS MONTH FROM PMI!)
The project scope statement details your project's deliverables and describes the major objectives, which includes measurable criteria for success. Use this template to document the six essential elements.
Project Charter (NEW THIS MONTH FROM PMI!)
The Project Charter formally authorizes a project or phase. It defines the reason for the project and assigns a project manager--and the PM's authority level. The content of the Charter should describe the project in high-level terms.
Stakeholder Management Plan (NEW THIS MONTH FROM PMI!)
The Stakeholder Management Plan is part of the Project Management Plan and identifies ways to effectively engage stakeholders. This template allows you to track each stakeholder and formulate a plan to work and communicate with each of them.
Inter-Requirements Traceability Matrix (NEW THIS MONTH FROM PMI!)
One way to use a requirements traceability matrix is to trace the relationship between categories of requirements. An Inter-Requirements Traceability Matrix can be used to capture this information.
Process Development Plan Template (NEW THIS MONTH!)
This template provides a step-by-step guide to developing a new organizational process. It is intended to be completed in conjunction with the development of the process and serves as a checklist for the completion of the work.
Stakeholder Management Strategy (NEW THIS MONTH!)
This template helps the owner of a stakeholder relationship to determine the best approach to managing that stakeholder. This template may not be appropriate for all stakeholders, but should be used for major ones.
Stakeholder Management Register (NEW THIS MONTH!)
How important is the stakeholder? Can they drive change, cancel it, approve budgets? This template is a simple stakeholder register for identifying and scoring stakeholders based on importance and influence, and also has fields for major concerns and relationship owner.
Project Plan/Project Definition
Behind every successful project is a rock-solid, detailed project plan. This template defines every aspect of your project. The final product can be used to make what you are doing clear to all project stakeholders.
User Story Template
User stories can help you efficiently and effectively describe what knowledge management should look like for your unique organization. This template provides insight on how to use user stories to help you define your KM universe.
Methodology Implementation Project Charter
This is a high-level example of a Project Charter for implementing a methodology, but the structure and approach will work for many projects. This example is heavy on risks and assumptions, light on budgeting, role descriptions and conflict resolution.
ezEVA Template
The ezEVA template is a historical earned value tracking tool used to measure current progress and forecast future project performance. Use this in tandem with our EVA series of articles.
Risk Reviewer Job Qualification and Candidate Evaluation Checklist
Are you staffing your risk management team? This candidate evaluation matrix (Excel) coupled with the sample job description document (Word) will point you in the right direction for finding the ideal risk reviewer.
Project Sizing Template
The purpose of project sizing analysis is to determine the appropriate level of formality for a project in regard to structure and tools based on four key criteria: Stakeholder Impact, Risk, Project Responsibility Level and Organizational Level Impacted. It is inspired by the article Determining the Appropriate Level of Formal Documentation with Project Sizing.
Sample Project: Effort-Based Project Forecasting
Use this plan in conjunction with the effort-based project forecasting article and workbook.
Design Milestones Review Checklists
This Design Milestones Review Checklist contains four worksheets: Design Milestones, High-Level Pre-Design, Technical Requirements, and Documentation and User Interface.

Behind the Scenes with Lindsay Lohan
This corn-fed, Oklahoma-born, man-boy from Missouri is more than rugged good looks and a hard body (People named him Sexiest Man Alive...twice) Thanks to the stalkerazzi, we're privy to this benevolent gentleman's every good deed. Following a laundry list, Pitt led a massive green building project in Katrina-devastated New Orleans. Pitting (ahem, excuse me) a team of world-renowned green architects for projects, Brad is determined to start an unprecedented green building trend. Adopt a green house (not one of his children) at makeitright9.org.
Though best known for her role on NBC's Heroes, Hayden Panettiere is raising praise and eyebrows as a young environmental and animal-rights advocate.
In October '07, Panettiere interfered with Japan's annual dolphin hunt and has since served as a spokeswoman for PETA and other animal-rights organizations.
