Over the last 18 months, scores of county leaders from across the country have repeatedly called upon the Obama Administration to restore longstanding Clean Water Act protections for America's wetlands, lakes, and streams. Today, the National Wildlife Federation and the Conservation Leaders Network released a list of 114 county leaders who have sent letters or passed resolutions urging the Administration to finalize its clean water guidance and proceed with a more lasting rulemaking.
In just the past few months, 45 County Commissioners from 17 different states have requested that President Obama move quickly to finalize the Administration's clean water guidance and protect America's wetlands and streams to ensure clean water, safe communities, and healthy habitats. Finalizing the clean water guidance is an important first step in clearly restoring protections for the nation's small streams that feed the public drinking water supplies for 117 million Americans.
"As county leaders in Western Colorado, we are on the front line in protecting the health, safety and welfare of citizens," said Gunnison County Chairperson, Hap Channell. "In our semi-arid environment, water is our life's blood, and its quality is paramount to protecting and assuring our economy, lifestyle, and future. Without pristine, clean water we, quite frankly, have nothing."
Noting the "Everglades to our west and the Atlantic coral reef system to our east," Broward County, Florida Vice Mayor Kristin Jacobs wrote, "As a community, we understand the importance of protecting water quality and maintaining healthy watersheds to ensure clean and safe drinking water supplies, the integrity of our sensitive natural systems, and prized recreational opportunities. We understand the inextricable link between a healthy environment and economic prosperity, and that inadequate protections today only defer and amplify the later environmental and economic costs."
Walter Marshall, Forsyth County North Carolina Commissioner joined many of his fellow county commissioners in writing, "Clean and safe drinking water supplies are a particular concern to us. While we are pleased that your administration has proposed guidelines to protect these waters, we need you to finalize that document right away. Furthermore, to make these protections more robust and durable, it is essential to propose and finalize a rule in 2012. Doing so will give our waterways – both large and small – the protection they need for many years to come."
County commissioners also made repeated calls for action in 2011. In January 2011, 42 County Commissioners from 16 different states sent similar letters to the Council on Environmental Quality, urging the Administration to revise and finalize the definition of "waters of the United States." And in the summer of 2011, 83 County Commissioners from 21 states submitted comments in support of the Clean Water Act guidance. Each time, the message was the same: Finalizing the Clean Water Act guidance and initiating a clean water rulemaking demonstrates this Administration's commitment to clean water and is a much needed step toward restoring protections to millions of miles of streams and rivers, and millions of acres of wetlands that Americans cherish and rely on.
"All told, 114 county leaders from 25 states have spoken out on the importance to their communities of broad and effective Clean Water Act protections," said Jan Goldman-Carter, NWF Senior Manager, Wetlands and Water Resources. "As a former county commissioner representing a rural Oregon county, I understand the importance of bringing county leaders together to speak out for clean water," explained Peg Reagan, the Conservation Leaders Network's Executive Director. "County officials see first-hand the importance of protecting clean water, yet individually our voices are not always heard in Washington, D.C."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD Return To The Far And Middle East This Spring
February 13, 2012, 5 years ago
AVENGED SEVENFOLD announced today that they will be returning to the Far and Middle East beginning April 16th in Tokyo, Japan, for a tour that will culminate in a special show in Dubai, UAE on May 4th.
Long time friends METALLICA have asked Avenged Sevenfold to perform at the first ever Orion Music + More at Bader Field in Atlantic City, NJ, on June 24th. M. Shadows had this to say: "We really hadn't planned to play the United States in 2012. But after Lars called to describe their plans for Orion and asked us to join them, we decided there's no way we would miss it." The band toured with Metallica in 2006 as part of Metallica's Escape From The Studio Tour. Three years later, Avenged Sevenfold toured with Metallica on their World Magnetic tour.
In July 2010, Avenged Sevenfold released their fifth studio album Nightmare, which earned the band its highest-ever debut on the Billboard album chart when it bowed at No. 1 and topped the Rock, Hard Rock, and Digital charts. It has been certified gold by the RIAA and has scanned upwards of 660,000 units. The album spawned three hit singles - the gold-certified singles 'Nightmare' and 'Welcome To The Family', and 'So Far Away' - each of which peaked at Number 1 on the Media Base Active Rock chart. The title track was the most-played current song at Media Base Active Rock for 2010.
Avenged Sevenfold have toured incessantly on their Buried Alive and Welcome To The Family tours selling out arenas around the world. They also headlined the Uproar Tour and the first annual Carolina Rebellion Festival in 2011 where the band played to a sold-out crowd of over 30,000 fans. The band also toured Iraq with the USO and has played to nearly 1,000,000 people in the last two years.
Their breakout album City Of Evil and the Live In The LBC DVD have both been certified platinum and the band's self-titled album has been certified gold.
Avenged Sevenfold tour dates:
April16 - Tokyo, Japan - Zepp
18 - Nagoya, Japan - Diamond Hall
19 - Osaka, Japan - Hatch
22 - Taipei, Taiwan - Taipei University Auditorium
24 - Bangkok, Thailand - Thunder Dome

WOLVSERPENT Sign To Relapse Records; Perigaea 2012 Demo Available For Streaming / Download
November 14, 2012, 4 years ago
Relapse Records has announced the signing of Boise, Idaho's mysterious occult duo WOLVSERPENT. Formed in 2010, Wolvserpent consist of Blake Green (guitar, vocals, keys) and Brittany McConnell (drums, percussion, violin) playing a masterful mix of apocalyptic doom, avant-orchestral drone and blackened, sepulchral ambience.
The duo will enter the studio to record their sophomore full-length entitled Perigaea, a four song 80 minute opus, this November with producer/engineer Mell Dettmer (SUNN 0))), BORIS, ASVA, EARTH) in Seattle and in Idaho at in their home studio.
After a two year writing period, Wolvserpent first recorded the Perigaea 2012 demo (pronounced "pear-a-guy-a") in December '11-January 2012. Choosing initially not to release it... but to hold onto it for another 9 months and re-write it, they are now offering it as a free stream (below) and download via their official site. The upcoming full-length version of Perigaea will be an entirely different manifestation of the ideas heard on the demo.
Wolvserpent commented on the recent signing and new material: "We are very pleased to be working with Relapse Records on this upcoming album. We are excited to join forces and foster the potential of our best work to date.
We don't want to say much about the concept now. But we will say this: Perigaea is inspired by the four stages of existence and with that, the phases of humanity within the Earth and the greater Universe. Perigaea explores and reinforces our qualities and struggles as humans in this life. Our relationship with the Earth and our place as spiritual beings in what some believe is the final phase of this cycle. There are many names for it, one of those names is 'Kali Yuga,' the age of Kali, the dark age. The serpent that eats it's own tail will once again devour itself and give to itself a new birth and a fresh start."
This demo represents the early stages and younger concepts of Perigaea. We decided to set new standards for ourselves, working longer and investing more in our music, allowing the pieces to breathe and gain new life. Created from the strength and seeds of ideas past, this demo has served as the roots from which we have grown. We want to share this process of growth with our fans. We have taken Wolvserpent's concepts to the stone and sharpened our vision."

Sheridan taking the heat at APOEL
Tuesday 22 July 2014
Article summary
"I don't think people in Ireland realise just how tough it is to play here," Cillian Sheridan told UEFA.com as the Irish forward awaits another European adventure with APOEL FC.
Article top media content
Article body
"I don't think people in Ireland realise just how tough it is to play here," Irish APOEL FC striker Cillian Sheridan told UEFA.com as the former Celtic FC man reflected on his first year in Cyprus. "A lot of people back home thought coming here was like going on a sunny holiday, but the league here is really competitive. Last season was definitely my hardest. We played a lot of games, not just in Cyprus but also in Europe."
Now settled, the 25-year-old believes APOEL are well-equipped for a prosperous European campaign, one that starts next week against FK Rabotnicki or HJK Helsinki.
This time last year, under Paulo Sérgio, APOEL lost on away goals to NK Maribor in the third qualifying round and were subsequently beaten 3-2 on aggregate by SV Zulte Waregem in the UEFA Europa League play-offs. However, fortune smiled on the club as they were drawn to replace Fenerbahçe SK in the UEFA Europa League group stage following the Turkish side's exclusion from the 2013/14 UEFA competitions. APOEL finished third in Group F, but Sheridan feels his side are in better shape as they approach the start of their 2014/15 campaign.
"Last year we qualified for the Europa League by chance, so this year we are looking to book group stage football on merit and by winning games, but that won't be easy," he said.
"The difference now is that we have brought three or four players into a team that has been playing [together] for almost a year and all the players are familiar with one another," explained the three-times capped Republic of Ireland forward. "Last summer a lot of new players – including myself – came into a new team with a new manager and with a new style of playing. Making a new team doesn't happen overnight."
Among the arrivals this close season are Cypriot internationals Giorgos Efrem and Alex Konstantinou, and Brazilian defender Carlão from FC Sochaux-Montbéliard. Furthermore, Argentinian playmaker Tomás De Vincenti, instrumental in APOEL securing the league and cup double last term, has made permanent his loan from Olympiacos FC. "The new players that have come in will improve and strengthen the team," continued Sheridan.
Having started his career at Celtic, the former Gaelic footballer landed in Cyprus last summer following loan spells with Motherwell FC, Saint Johnstone FC and Plymouth Argyle FC, and stints at PFC CSKA Sofia and Kilmarnock FC. He was not an instant hit, but things changed for the better when Giorgos Donis succeeded Paulo Sérgio in mid-October and the tall frontman began to hit his stride, scoring key goals as APOEL ended the season with two pieces of silverware.
Vindication, perhaps, for a player who has been willing to travel to broaden his footballing mind. "I didn't know what to expect when I first moved here," said Sheridan, who registered five times in 26 league appearances last season. "It was the same when I moved to Bulgaria [in August 2010], but I came to Cyprus with the idea of being willing to adapt to different cultures.
"I've spent many years living outside of Ireland, having also lived in the UK. The only difference now is that I'm living further away."

A blue ring around the planet Uranus
Color is attributed to forces acting on dustThe outermost ring of the planet Uranus turns out to have a bright blue color, according to a report in the April 7 issue of the journal Science. That makes it only the second blue ring to be found in the solar system. The first circles the planet Saturn.
Perhaps not coincidentally, both blue rings are associated with small moons. Astronomers suspect the rings owe their blue color to subtle forces acting on dust in the rings that allow smaller particles to survive while larger ones are recaptured by a moon.
"The outer ring of Saturn is blue and has [the moon] Enceledus right smack at its brightest spot, and Uranus is strikingly similar, with its blue ring right on top of [the moon] Mab's orbit," says Imke de Pater, who is an astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley, and a co-author of the Science paper. "The blue color says that this ring is predominantly submicron-sized material, much smaller than the material in most other rings, which appear red."
De Pater and her co-authors believe the similarity between the outer rings implies an in kind explanation for their blue color. Many other scientists have ascribed Saturn's blue ring to the small dust, gas and ice particles spewed into Encedadus' orbit by newly discovered plumes on that moon's surface. But that is unlikely to be the case with Mab, a small, dead, rocky ball, about 15 miles across-one-twentieth the diameter of Enceladus.
"We know now that there is at least one way to make a blue ring that doesn't involve plumes, because Mab is surely too small to be internally active," says Mark Showalter of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif., another co-author of the Science paper. He and astronomer Jack Lissauer of NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., discovered Mab in Hubble Space Telescope images in 2003.

"...This course was well thought out..." -- Gary
"...this is the most fastest and easiest method to memorise vocabular[y]..." - Shane
"....such a great way to remember!" - Angelika
Build confidence in your English writing skills.
You can perfect your use of confusing English words, such as the sound-alikes "write" and "right" which mean something very different. This course will help you remember which word is the correct word, and you will learn and practice 144 commonly mistaken words.
You need to write these words when:
Improve your English writing with verbal, visual and story-like tips on knowing the correct word to use. You can tell the differences between common problem words in English.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the course. Search on my name and my instructor page will come up in the results.
Enroll today and improve your writing right away!
A little about me, and my background. I am not an ESL (English as a second language) teacher. I am a native English speaker, writer, poet and professional brainstormer. I make mistakes. Please catch me!

A document that you can print if you would like to track all the 140+ words we are covering in this course. Please feel free to make suggestions of other words to be added in the future, and I will add them to the list.
April 12, 2016: Version update: 5.1 includes a preliminary list of the 70+ words I plan to add to the course in the next 1-2 months.
Do you need this class?
Even in lecture descriptions in this course, there are many common words that have sound-alikes in English. And there are two ways to get them right: you can memorize these words, which can take a long time, or you can prepare a mental trick, a mnemonic, that you can use to remember the right word. I used bold to highlight words in the lecture descriptions which apply to the current lecture, and italics for the words that you will find in another lecture. Now you can see some of the words in sentences and paragraphs as you go along.

It's almost impossible to write a sentence in English without using some of these words. For example, one (person) might try to write two sentences to describe a lecture and find that you wrote "to" three or four times.

Hi! In this lesson, we're going to learn about the words that allow us to meet people, make dear friends, and offer to buy them breakfast in the morning. It's almost impossible to get by without getting these words right.
It's time for those dreaded apostrophes! How will you improve your written English if they're always putting apostrophes in the middle of their words? In this lesson, you're going to learn when to use the apostrophes, when not to, and the meanings of words that sound exactly like those tricky possessive pronouns and their sound-alike contractions.
Watch photo by Joe Haupt (Flickr, CC-BY).
Here's (here is) a quiz to help you with your understanding of possessive pronouns. Remember that possessive pronouns never have an apostrophe, and watch out for real nouns.
Now we're going to cover some words which have loose similarities, but are commonly confused anyway. I thought I would add them to the course because it's better to learn these words than to make mistakes when you're writing.
This wraps up our first section of the course. In this lecture, we do a very quick review of vocabulary with some hints for you to remember what you've learned.
This is a test of all the words and bonus words in this section.
Next we go on to tricky verbs. After this section you'll be more certain that you're choosing the right action verb in your sentences.
In this lesson we will go over the most confusing verbs and their sound-alikes. It may be hard to accept, but it would be great to write our English words right.

You're doing great here! You are learning how to take the words we hear and break them down in understandable ways. After this lesson you can take a break, or you can go on to our next quiz.

I hope you're not getting bored with our lessons yet, because that could affect whether you have allowed these tips and tricks to help you write more effectively.
You've now finished the 2nd set of words covered in the course. Please make sure you take the quizzes and review what you've gotten wrong; it will help you a great deal to practice what you're learning.

I hate to boast, but being able to publish 6 more lectures today really gives my spirits a boost! I could almost write a rap song about it. If I had known about Udemy sooner, I could have added many more courses by now.
I assure you that you will have a great time with these new words. Being aware of good vocabulary will ensure that you are employable, no matter where you end up.
In this section we will cover 3 types of nouns:
When you're done, you will find the differences between these words much less confusing and be able to pick the right words for your sentences.
In principle, which words you choose when you write can affect how people view you. This is great when writing to affect a council's decision, to meet with a principal about your grades, or if you need to compliment a witch to avoid being turned into a deer. Bear with my counsel, and your writing will have a greater effect.
I'll often write a letter to representatives in our state council, and it gets mailed to the capital city and then is delivered to the state capitol building. I suppose they often sleep at an inn while the council is in session, unless they're getting room and board somewhere.
Like dough to a counter-top, you've stuck with me this far! Let's see if you can bear to accept more of my attempts to complement each lesson by writing barely acceptable sentences. If you're sitting there doe-eyed with fright at my writing, let me know in the discussions and accept my apology, too.
In this section we cover over 10 tricky nouns and their sound-alikes. Of course, to make sure you get them right practice with the quiz coming up next!
Dear Tricky Words Student,
I'd like to ask you to take your time learning how to use each pair of words. Write them down, use them in sentences, draw rings around them to help you remember. It will help you the next time you pick up a pen or have an axe to grind.
Rather than utter any foul language, you could alter your communication style, or just stay quiet.
This lecture adds 16 tricky words to our list. These are comparison words and their tricky companions and sound-alikes.
Do you want some free advice? When working on your résumé, make sure you massage the wording to appeal to the reader and accurately reflect your programming experience. Before writing your cover letter, carefully appraise the salary for the position you're asking for.
The receptionist said, "One of the perquisites of already having an appointment with the doctor is that I can skip you ahead in the queue. Occasionally someone will question why you went in before them. That's my cue to put on my best smile and quiet their doubts. Patience is a prerequisite for working with patients."
Joe used dictation software to write this letter to his friend, Dave. Apparently the software made many mistakes with homophones. See if you can find all the errors. The corrected letter and mistakes are in the resources section.

Radko Gudas' game misconduct from Squirt-gate rescinded
The Lightning and defenseman Radko Gudas got some good news Tuesday when the NHL rescinded Gudas' game misconduct he received for Sunday's Squirt-gate incident against the Panthers.
That is an important distinction as a player with three misconducts in a season automatically is suspended for one game. Gudas also saves the automatic $200 fine that comes with a misconduct.
"It's something that works in our favor, so it's good to see," coach Jon Cooper said, and added. "In the heat of the game, calls get made. Coaches disagree with calls all the time, so it's in the nature. I respect the call (referee Tim Peel) made. I understand, partially, why he made it, but I think the league got it right."
"The 24-hour rule," Cooper said. "Sleep on it, everybody got it right in the end, so it's good."
Gudas was given a slashing penalty, a 10-minute misconduct and game misconduct with 7:09 left in the second period of Tampa Bay's 4-3 shootout win over the Panthers when he angrily broke his stick over the boards in front of the Florida bench after Panthers wing Scottie Upshall squirted Gudas with blue Gatorade.
Gudas did not speak to reporters after the game and was reluctant to speak after Tuesday's morning skate for the game at New Jersey.
"I don't think there's anything to talk about," he said. "Last time I checked we were playing the Devils not the Panthers, so I'm focused on the game coming up."
Gudas now leads the NHL with 53 penalty minutes. He also might be seen as a player who can be agitated by opponents and pushed into bad penalties. But Gudas said the incident will have no effect on how he plays.
"I don't know, talk to them," Gudas said. "I don't know what other teams think. I'm trying to move on from that. That's all I got from that."
Teammate Sami Salo said there is no sense trying to limit Gudas' emotions during a game because "I think he plays best when he plays with emotion, and that's when things happen. I don't want him to try to control that. I think that's when he plays his best, and I wouldn't blame him for that."
Other stuff from the morning skate: As expected, Ben Bishop is back in net for the Lightning. Bishop has a 2-1-0 record against New Jersey with a 1.27 goals-against average and .960 save percentage. ... D Eric Brewer plays his 900th game tonight. He is at plus-4 and has just one minus game all season. Cooper said he is playing "as good hockey as he has in a long time." Couple of reasons. First, Brewer came into the season in great shape after a hard-working summer. He also is down to 16:27 average ice time from 20:03 last season. Cooper believes that will limit wear and tear and keep the 34-year-old fresh. "You may not see it on opening night, but you will see it by Christmas time. You will see it by Easter," Cooper said. "That's when guys really start to wear down." Brewer was politically correct when asked about the reduced minutes. "We just do what we're told," he said. "I think we have a good mix. We have some balance on the back end. I'm respectful for whatever they want to do. Let's do it. It's tough to argue." As for his longevity, Brewer is happy. "I enjoy coming to the rink. I enjoy the work and I enjoy the guys," he said. "It's certainly worth it." ... RW Richard Panik is minus-9 this season, but Cooper does not seem concerned. "My concern is Richard is having a concern," he said. "He's just been a product of some bad bounces. You know the saying what comes around goes around? The minuses arre coming around now. Eventually, the pluses will come around." Added Panik, who has zero goals and five assists in 10 games: "Every time I step on the ice there's a weird bounce or a weird tip. I don't have to think about it, just play the game right and eventually the Karma is going to turn around. It will go in the right way. ... Interesting stat from the NHL that Steven Stamkos and Marty St. Louis lead the league with points on the same goal, with 11. ... Tampa Bay has killed 23 of its past 24 penalties.

DigestNov 19, 2013 The Associated Press
Camp Guernsey expansion on hold
CHEYENNE -- Gov. Matt Mead says state military officials won't try to expand a central Wyoming training site if ranchers currently using the land object. Mead said Monday it could be years or decades before any decisions are made about the disposition of land managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management around Camp Guernsey outside Wheatland.
The BLM has expressed interest in giving up thousands of acres around Camp Guernsey, and the Wyoming Military Department says it's interested in getting control of all the land within its boundaries and smoothing out some jagged boundaries.
Some nearby ranchers have expressed fears the military would take over BLM land they lease. Mead says that won't happen if the ranchers object.
Mead spoke at a meeting in Wheatland.
McMurry to develop UW Plaza
LARAMIE -- A Casper-based development company has purchased a retail area on the east side of the University of Wyoming campus.
UW trustees were told that Forward Development LLC plans to revitalize the UW Plaza.
Forward Development's principal owner is Casper businessman Mick McMurry.
It purchased the lease for the UW Plaza from the Bank of Colorado, which took over the property when the previous developer defaulted on the lease.
The nine-acre development's current tenants include restaurants and retail businesses. There is space for additional retail and restaurant development, as well as business and professional offices.
County confronts hepatitis growth
POWELL -- State and local health officials are looking for ways to control hepatitis C cases in Park County, which roughly doubled from 2011 to 2012.
There were 56 new cases of hepatitis C in the county last year. About 60 percent were in the Cody area and 40 percent in the Powell area.
State officials say the county's rate has been rising since 2008. They say the increase is generally among people between ages 20 and 34.
Hepatitis C is transmitted by blood, sometimes by people sharing drug needles. It causes liver damage and is blamed for 15,000 deaths a year nationwide.

Yeah, in Bizzaro world.
See, that's what I figured. When I played the demo, it was WAY too easy to pass cars at Indy, even on the hardest difficulty, the cars were too easy to handle in the turns, and traveled too fast in general.
I remember seeing in a lot of the old pictures that they had like 3 Gordon's, 2 Hamlin's, and 3 Junior's. Sucks to see they failed at the NASCAR portion.
I'll still keep playing my Papyrus NASCAR 2003 Season until NASCAR 2011 comes out and I play a demo.
They didn't fail at all...
The NASCAR portion was never going to be fully fleshed out.
It was shoved in there at the last second to appease the masses and hopefully sell a few copies to the guy who wears his Jeff Gordon hat and t-shirt every where.
It was a smart business decision and nothing else.
I don't think it was "rushed" or a "last-minute" decision. The creator said all along that he wanted NASCAR in the game due to the high fascination Japan had in it as well as it's North America's premiere autosport.
I was under the impression that we were going to get Fontana, Watkins Glen, and maybe a few short tracks within the game. I knew that there wasn't going to be all the drivers, but enough to fill a 16-car grid.
That and I am not sure they will update the cars for the 2011 season, the paint schemes or the front end of the cars.
Along with the fact that DuPont won't even be Jeff's full-time sponsor next season...
2010 - Wing
2010 - New spoiler
2011 - New front splitter
When you're building a game for 5 years and the issue comes up with what a year or so to go? It's a last second decision.
They announced that NASCAR would be in the game last year. They were working on it all along. My source at IMS said that Polyphony was there in 2008 getting the specs for the track and everything.
Now up until about September I heard that they were still using the wing in the game.
For a game that has always prided itself on simulation and real-life handling and performance of the cars, the fact that the NASCARs don't drive like real NASCARs would be considered a "failure" in my book.
And most NASCAR fan's book, for that matter.
And Duke, you are so right. NR2003 is still probably the best racing game ever made. The mods are SICK. Papyrus definitely knew how to make a good NASCAR game. I can only hope the new 2001 from Activision can be at least half as good as that game.

Proud to take part in the 52nd Annual Lennox Cinco de Mayo Parade. It's always fun to get out into the community, pass out some school supplies, and see our students and their families where they live. This year, more than any other, we felt is was important to spread the message that ALL are welcome in our public schools, and that we support ALL students, regardless or race, religion, country of origin, immigration status, sexual orientation and gender identification.

It really was a once in a lifetime moment for many fans across North and Central America, as years of qualifying all boiled down to a few minutes of intense drama.
Nations held their breath as first Panama, then Mexico, then Panama and then finally Mexico, qualified for the CONCACAF vs. Oceania playoff round to make it to the World Cup. The front pages of the press in Mexico (right) tell it's own story.
And of course, Mexico had good ol' Uncle Sam to help them out in their moment of need.

Street Hoops
August 14, 2002 - There's more street than hoops going in this arcade basketball title.
Street Hoops Hip-Hop
July 9, 2002 - Activision knows Street Hoops wouldn't be a true ball game without the thunderous beats of hip-hop blazing through your television's speakers. With rappers such as DMX, Xzibit, and Ludacris already signed up, Activision won't disappoint the hardcore fans as the game features artists worthy of MTV's Yo!.
Street Hoops New Teammates
July 2, 2002 - AND 1 and FOOTACTION got game.
E3 2002: Street Hoops
May 24, 2002 - Activision's pavement basketball game, Street Hoops was fully playable on the expo floor this week, and based on what we saw appears to be a mixed bag. While the visuals were certainly worth mentioning, what with the crisp textures, realistic recreations of famous parks, and on again-off again frame rate, the basketball engine wasn't really up to par.
Activision: E3 Booth Report
May 22, 2002 - Doom III, X-Men, and extreme sports head Activision's list.
Activision's Urban Legends
May 9, 2002 - Black Ops Entertainment's answer to NBA Street has officially hit the big time with today's signing of And 1 Mix Tapes and Nike's Freestyle commercial series. Utilizing all the stars of the increasingly popular game of street basketball, Activision and Black Ops hope that the inclusion of both licenses' stars will help draw attention to their approaching product.
Street Hoops
February 19, 2002 - Activision dropped by our office today to give us an in-depth look at its Black Ops-developed street basketball game, Street Hoops, and we have first shots. In stunningly bizarre form, we were swamped by press releases and can only give you these short details and shots. Shame on us.

I don't really have brittle, sparse lashes...I actually have pretty thick, long ones, but I am a total product junkie and even more so obsessed with having "perfect" lashes and brows.

You really have to be super careful when you're applying the formula, because if some accidently gets in your eye, it is quite painful and I have also noticed that the inner rims of my eyes get irritated and look red...like I have some sort of eye problem, like pink eye. Once I wash my face in the morning though and remove the product, my eyes feel and look fine.

Mexico's Popocatépetl volcano hurled hot fragments of rock half a mile into the air, causing officials to warn of more and bigger outbursts to come.
The volcano, southeast of Mexico City, sent giant plumes of ash and water vapor into the sky, the CBC reported.
The gritty ash could end up ruining car engines and block drains.
More from GlobalPost: Authorities in Mexico prepare to evacuate residents near Popocatépetl volcano after alert level raised
The National Disaster Prevention Centre on Tuesday warned the volcano could experience "significant explosions of growing intensity that hurl incandescent rocks significant distances" according to the Associated Press.

The Eli Young Band Have a 'Crazy Girl' on Their Hands
The Eli Young Band are reveling in the excitement surrounding their latest single, 'Crazy Girl.' The group had more than a hunch that the song was a winner, especially last summer when they'd look out from stages — not just at their own concerts but also at the Country Throwdown tour — and see fans singing all of the words to the song, which was written by Lee Brice and Liz Rose.
"It's great having 'Crazy Girl' out there," guitarist James Young tells The Boot. "When we were first approached about the [five-song] EP [also titled 'Crazy Girl'], we weren't quite sure how we felt about it. But once we realized the music would get out there more quickly, we knew it was right."
Need proof? Soon after its release, the song was the most added country single at Billboard and went to No. 1 at the iTunes country singles chart. The accompanying video, James tells The Boot, is the first chance fans have had to see the bandmates tackle "amateur acting" in a scripted story. (Watch it below.) The group had a blast, he says, transforming a wing of Nashville's Rehabilitation Hospital into the fictional Youngsville Psychiatric Hospital.
In the clip, the four were cast as hospital employees who are so into music they neglect their jobs and goof off. Although the story in the video — which involves a patient escape — is revealed (SPOILER ALERT!) to be a dream, it's a dream-come-true reality for the band and its followers, at least until their eagerly awaited full-length album is released this year.
"We knew fans were ready to get their hands on it," drummer Chris Thompson tells The Boot of the five-song collection.
"We have been playing these songs live and fans really loved them. It made us really easy for us," bassist Jon Jones tells The Boot of the release. "It was a no-brainer."
The Eli Young Band's 'Crazy Girl' EP is available. For information about it and their upcoming full-length album, visit the group's website. For details on their upcoming tour dates, check here. And check out where the group lands on The Boot's latest countdown of 10 artists who should already be superstars!

Designed to incorporate bending storylines, the game gives players the chance to alter the plot with every decision they make. How far are you prepared to go to save someone you love? Will the killer be caught? Will the latest victim be saved? Who will die, who survives? This, and much more, is all up to the player…

Starring Academy Award nominees Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe – and original music by Hans Zimmer − BEYOND: Two Souls™ takes players on a psychological adventure packed with unexpected twists.
Players live the life of Jodie Holmes, a woman who seemingly possesses supernatural powers through a psychic link to an invisible entity. By controlling both Jodie and the mysterious entity, players create their own story as they embark on an incredible journey of emotionally-charged events never seen before in a video game. The 2013 hit also now features the option to experience the plot in chronological order, extra missions originally released as DLC and even more bending storylines to explore.

Thank you for your interest in our villas. We look forward to speaking with you!
Super nice villa. Very clean very beautiful. Most importantly, the villa staff are super nice. They gave my family 6 stars service. I really appreciate what they did to us.
We had such a wonderful time at Villa Waru / Villa Nusa Dua. We actually had our wedding ceremony here and it was amazing. It took all of the guests' breath away when the saw the beautiful gardens. During our entire stay the staff were lovely and attentive to our needs. All the amenities were great and the finishing touches were impressive, they have extremely comfy beds and amazing bathrooms / artwork / pool areas. No one wanted to leave and we would like to thank all the team at villa again.
We enjoyed the villa immensely. It was just like the photos and more! The sheer size of the property is great for three families - 6 adults and 9 kids. We all had our privacy yet we are all together in one big villa. The service, food, and transportations were great! The staff were all very attentive to our needs and helpful with questions. It was also excellent having the kitchen right next to the dining area so the kids can order any style of eggs and Chef Made will make for them. It was quite like home. One tiny thing I would say I did not expect was the number of mosquitos. It was probably because the rainy season in January, and the villa did have mosquito tents above all beds. Nevertheless, perhaps the villa can prep more mosquito lamps, repair the holes in some tents, and can give the guests a heads up on ways to avoid mosquitos. Besides the natural facts of living so close to nature, I would recommend this magnificent Villa to anyone with large numbers of family or friends. I myself would certainly return. Thanks again
Beautiful villa, the staff very nice and helpful. they help us to cook for dinner and breakfast, the food very delicious. The swimming pool is awesome, we spend time at swimming pool area. i love the pool in the basement it was fantastic.
A lovely villa with a homey feeling! Stunning wine cellar under ground, unique bathroom, spacious rooms, i can't ask for more! The location is great, 10 mins away to the airport. We went to Geger beach, it's absolutely beautiful beach that is safe for swimming.
Such an amazing villa! Everything is perfect. The staff is very nice and attentive. The bedrooms are beautifully designed. Also the underground wine cellar is perfect for some small event with a group of friends. So pretty! love this villa! Just remember to use mosquito repellent :)
Thank you so much for opening up your home & your heart. You are so generous and kind, and our stay here at Villa Waru was amazing. So relaxing & peaceful.. beautiful garden, pool, comfy, comfy bed & the best tub ever! Parti, Wayan, Kadek and all your wonderful, friendly staff, you are amazing team, we will miss you. This past week was truly a treat for us both.
All the family had a great time at Villa Waru and your home in Bali really lends itself to large family get togethers - space for everyone! The staff were very friendly and Komang did a great job in stepping in as chef. We had a great time - learning to surf, visiting Ubud, watching the White Monkey Dance, having massages in-house as well as reflexology at Cozy and generally relaxing and enjoying being with each other. The villa was a perfect venue for our family reunion - large enough to be together - yet lots of room to have our own space too! We were able to enjoy swimming in the pool as well as improve on the Pool Table and then relax with a movie. Komang and the rest of the staff looked after us well.
It was a dream come true for us. To be able to spend Sandra's 50th birthday in such wonderful surroundings exceeded our expectations. The grounds, the villa, the pool all made it a holiday that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We need some R&R and that is exactly what we got. From the warmest welcome from Echa, to the extraordinary cuisine of Wayan, to the friendliness of the staff were made to feel princes and princesses for 11 days. And Made (driver), you are a legend!… We will promote the villa to our friends. This really is Bali's best kept secret.

Gas prices are going down -- except at one Maryland gas station
Gas prices are coming down, but apparently not for one Maryland gas station.
The national average for a gallon of gas is $3.55 on Tuesday.
At one Waldorf, Md., gas station, however, regular unleaded gas has been hovering around $4.49. Right across the street it's nearly a dollar less at $3.51 a gallon.
Tonya Harrington says she used to like using the Exxon station off Mattawoman drive and 301. "I just can't believe how high it's gotten," she said.
The store's manager wouldn't go on camera, but he admits the station is losing business. The company that owns the Exxon station and sets the price couldn't be reached for comment.
However, the association that represents local gas stations says the station has had troubles in the past and re-opened in the past year.
Michelle Watson purposefully chose the BP station across the street to fill up her tank.
AAA says in Maryland there's a ban on selling gas at low costs, but not selling gas above market value. This isn't the only local station accused of price gouging. D.C. officials are trying to add more gas regulations to stations like an Exxon near the Watergate hotel, which has some of the highest prices in the country.

When television was invented, people called it the death of movies. Why would anyone go to a theater when moving, talking pictures were available in the home? Electronic books were called the death of print books.
Likewise, in a world of e-mail newsletters, podcasts, tweets, and white-board videos, print is forgotten. People either find it old-fashioned, an indication of lack of technical prowess, or they just brush it under the rug. But television didn't put a dent in movies, and publishers are still paying top dollar advances for novels and other books and there are still million-sellers in print. In short, various technologies have always lived side-by-side.
So let's look at how print is still alive and an important part of your business.
To define terms, the print modes I'm referring to include stand-alone inserts, mailings in envelopes, business cards, flyers and brochures.
Here are some good points about them:
Stand Alone and Stand Apart
How many times have you rocketed through your e-mail inbox deleting and deleting? You just became the negative component of conversion statistics for all the businesses sending you e-mails, and you didn't give it a thought.
Now, think of physical mail. It used to be called "junk mail," but notice you don't hear that phrase as often now. That's due to the fact that there just isn't as much of it anymore. I know I personally am a bit intrigued by actual shiny paper and old-fashioned text on a page when it comes to me in the mail. Even if someone rifles through their mail looking for what to chuck, they physically look at it. That's like opening your e-mail rather than deleting it unopened.
There's just a lot of clutter online. It used to be that people were irritated by going to their physical mail boxes and dragging in too much in the way of circulars, etc. Now people are either irritated with too many links across their social media or aren't irritated but just can't keep up. It's easy to keep up with print.
A 2014 study found that 80 percent of folks read all print newsletters and magazines from companies with whom they were already familiar. Now these are just newsletters, not coupons, flyers, etc., but it's a dramatic stat.
Print Happens to Work
There's theory and there are ideas as to what may or may not be good about print, and then there's the bottom line. Here's something you can't ignore. Writing for Entrepreneur.com, Kim Walsh-Phillips, founder and CEO of Elite Digital Group, gives us an example of one marketer she knows. With inserts placed into a community newspaper, this businessperson increased his ROI to 11:3. Walsh-Phillips says, "He can't match that ROI from any online or social media, despite being smart about it."
Don't Forget Business Cards
Print doesn't have to be traditional marketing materials or newsletters. There's also the tried-and-true business card. Not only should you not forget about this quaint but key form of communication, but you shouldn't make the mistake of thinking of them as being just for meeting new people in person.
Business cards can be great passengers on mailed material like flyers or newsletters. That's a matter of putting your contact information in your potential customers' hands rather than relying on people navigating to your web site. These days, you can easily design and make business cards that include QR codes. So if 80% of recipients on your list look at your material, if they can use their smart phone to get to your site or to wherever or whatever your code leads to, you should be in good shape.
Rather than sticking the card in there somewhere, staple in to the front of the mailing. And if the bones in your hand are afraid of repetitive stapling, invest just a bit in a heavy duty stapler. The whole idea is to use professional services when necessary, as in paying a printer to produce things that are hard to print yourself, but to do things yourself as much as possible as a way of remaining frugal and keeping your "I" low enough that the "RO" won't have to be high be effective.
Making Good Print Materials
What makes print materials effective? How are you most likely to get readership? Let's look at a few good tips.
Plenty of Color
One of the things people love about print materials is nice vibrant color. Now, you can of course incorporate jpegs into e-mail newsletters. But that's pixels on a screen, something to scroll to, something that often doesn't fit in someone's e-mail window, etc.
Print images are different. They have a realness to them that is only intensifies by the fact that we all spend too much time peering at screens. What color (and it can be colorful text or designs and not images per se) does is make print what it is—remind people of the specialness of the print medium.
Don't Oversell
So, we all got exposed to a lot of admonitions concerning content marketing: advertising is dead, no one likes traditional advertising, give people useful info they want. If that is the way you're going online, do the same in print. It's a mistake to think that if you're sending out a mailer it has to be just the big sale coming up or a straight-ahead advertisement.
Even if you're doing standalone circulars, 5×8 flyers, etc., you can give useful info that will make your users appreciate what you do. Why not design a little how-to on something related to your business, print it out on colored card stock (maybe with a QR code), staple that business card to it, and get it out. The other side can be for specials, product plugs, etc.
Don't Forget Anything
Sometimes we get into the rut of thinking that any info our users want will always be available to them—"they can just google it." So when making online material, we don't worry too much about including all relevant information about our product lines, etc., since it must be floating around out there somewhere. That isn't going to fly in the mailing environment.
I've seen circulars that left off phone numbers and addresses of businesses. Business hours are pretty important too. Not all of that info is on the attached business card, right? Even if you plan to QR someone into your web page, include all the vital stats, since some people won't notice the QR code, and yes, some people don't have their smart phone handy. Proofread carefully before going to the final edit.
Frugality Through Brevity
One of the anxieties some entrepreneurs may have about print marketing is the cost. Isn't it expensive to go through printers and pay for glossy paper? How much does a five-page newsletter cost? One of the best ways to cut on costs for this sort of marketing is to keep things short. Now, I'd argue this is important for the sake of the reader (and her or his attention span), but it's a money issue too. Don't do a five-page newsletter. Go front and back and that's it. Look at your full page mailing and rid of it blank space, 28-point font, etc., and get it down to half a page. If you're printing these yourself (very frugal!) you'll really love the savings on ink jet cartridges.
Yeah, you have to get your vital info in, and you want useful info, but don't be afraid to use a reasonable, small font, and never send anything out with lots of blank space, whether it's colorful or not (unless it's part of a brilliant guerilla marketing scheme.
Just as in the online environment, keep your words to a minimum, packing a punch.

I've set up this thread as a "home" for any live topics relating to M&A in the Oil sector.
With virtually every stock in the sector continuing to trade well below estimated NAVs, there will be frequent bid situations emerging. Some of these will be agreed bids but, in the present climate, unsolicited bids are also highly likely.
I'm starting the ball rolling with a link to an Australian bid situation, in which the target company (called Target Energy, funnily enough) is rebutting a hostile bidder in typically strong Aussie terms: http://newsstore.theage.com.au/apps/previewDocument.ac?docID=GCA00953206TEX&f=pdf
The link may take some time to download - it is to a 162 page document giving chapter and verse on why Target recommend rejection of a bid that they (and their professional advisers) consider values Target at around HALF its true value. The relevance of the link is that the Grant Thornton section of the document demonstrates a range of different ways of trying to value an E&P company and is therefore of some generic interest to people who own shares in future bid targets.
Target's shares recently hit a low of 2.5 cents before the bid was tabled in mid-April. They are now 5 cents. Grant Thornton (acting for Target) reckon the bid is worth around 6.35c, whereas they think Target is actually worth around 11.9c per share......in other words they reckon that Target was, at its recent lows, trading at only 21% of its true value. So........it will be interesting to see how the defence gets on. [Edit 20/7/09: Successful defence - see http://www.stockopedia.com/forum/view/28067/ma?comment=121#121 ]
What is also interesting from the perspective of a UK holder is that the non-exec Chairman of Target, Didier Mercia, is also a director of Aminex. Holder of Aminex will know that they are another company that has US assets (like Target) that are being substantially undervalued by the market at present.....so it is nice to see Aminex getting a bit of first-hand experience before the predators arrive, in turn, at their door! ;-0
Feel free to add any other bid situations of interest to this thread. [Edit: Do not, however, use it to speculate endlessly about the bid prospects for specific companies, especially where there is little likelihood of M&A news in the near future. Contributions which digress from matters of general sector interest are liable to be removed].

Whilst there is a recommendation from the board, and a commitment of their shares....and there is an £11mn break fee....that may not be quite the end of the matter. The door is still ajar for PTTEP, even though Shell have matched their offer and got a recommendation:
Other potential offerors can still nonetheless announce competing offers for Cove.

I notice that the shares are once again trading at a premium to the offer....247.5p currently.
It seems to me that Shell have been very cautious in their approach here - excessively cautious, in fact ..... given the obvious likelihood of a bidding war. They may have done better to try to deter a Thai bid in the first place, by showing rather more serious intent!?
Of course they may also be playing a canny game, and planning to cap the Thai bid with 270p+ - figuring the Thais won't pay near £3. But at some point the music will stop for sure. At 240p (+tax paid) the shares are already close to where I thought a deal would be done (equivalent to c 270p)....though of course there have been further material discoveries since then.
Interesting times for Cove holders.

Can't argue with that - though the announcement so late in the day (why?) seems to have precluded investors getting their heads around the deal.

Very interesting piece here in Businessweek, especially for holders of Cove Energy (LON:COV)
Of course this comment is glossing over the fact that Cove have made some fresh large discoveries whilst the process has been under way. The article goes on to give various guesses on price and the way the bid will develop from here - numbers up to 330p (132% premium) are suggested.
From memory, the highest premium I can recall for an E&P in the last 15 years was about 8 years ago when a smallish Norwegian explorer went for a premium of just over 140%. Can't recall the name - but the details are buried on TMF somewhere.
Of note, re the scale of the Cove Energy (LON:COV) assets is this comment:
......and of course next door offshore ENI's block holds a similar amount.
I think the next move(s) can be expected in the next week or so.

Now that Royal Dutch Shell (LON:RDSA) have dropped out of the bidding for Cove Energy (LON:COV) (presumably handing PTTEP a free run), it will be interesting to see what they do next. I doubt we have long to wait to find out.
One presumes that they must have other irons in the fire (perhaps taking some of Anadarko's stake or some of ENI's in the other Moz block?)......they were never going to stop at Cove Energy (LON:COV) 's 8.5% anyway and paying up would probably have moved the price against them in relation to a larger deal with one of the others.

By Jamie Wells
Marin Independent Journal
Bert Campaneris, Shane Halter, Scott Sheldon, Cesar Tovar: the only four players to ever play all nine positions in a major league baseball game.
On Wednesday night at Albert Park, Bill Lee joined their ranks — and that of a select few minor leaguers — when he played all nine positions for in the San Rafael Pacifics' 4-1 loss against visiting Maui Na Koa Ikaika.
"It's tough, it's tough on my legs," Lee said. "I had a pretty good game, but we had a terrible game as a team."
Lee began the game behind the dish, catching for starting pitcher Logan Odom. A groundout from Charlie Mirabal opened the contest, but Maui's Justin James followed with a single before stealing second.
Then, things got a little rocky. Lee allowed two passed balls, bringing James home and putting the Pacifics in a 1-0 hole.
James struck again in the third inning, when he hit a two-run home run, but all was quiet until Maui put runners at second and third — thanks to a Pacifics error — with two outs. Reliever Nate King induced a 6-3 groundout from DJ Dixon, and the threat was over.
Maui scored again in the eighth inning on a ground ball past Lee, who was at second base at the time.
Meanwhile, Lee had been busy: After catching in the first inning he played right, center and left field, pitched the fifth inning and remained in the infield to play third base, shortstop and second base, in that order.
Lee finished the game at first base after a 0-for-3 night at the plate.
The Pacifics (53-18) never did any serious damage against Maui's Josh Larson, who gave up just three hits over seven innings, but took advantage of closer Chris Mobley to put a run on the board. The team even went so far as to load the bases, but with two outs in the bottom of the ninth Priddy lifted Lee for pinch hitter Maikel Jova, who struck out on four pitches.
"They didn't stick with the hometown kid," Lee said. "We'll never know."
