In the interest of being fair
I am so practiced at focusing in on the bad things that the good ones - even if they leave me grinning for hours - don't make it off of my fingers and onto my keyboard.
I'm better at complaining.
Like I said: he was at my game on Friday night. I didn't know he was going to be there. I rushed into the facility with just enough time to put on my shin guards and change into my jersey before the game started.
And there was Colin.
When he is standing in front of me, I forget that I have ever felt the slightest irritation or frustration towards him. When he is physically within my reach, I see him with in a soft yellow lighting and a frickin' halo.
I make myself sick.
I am not this vulnerable lovebird. I am too strong and too independent for this.
And, upon sight, I fall apart.
I find ways to redeem myself.
I play tough and I play well.
I make a fool out of one of the men on the other team in a huge way. He stands there with the ball, tries to entice me to make the first move. He plans to slide around me and make me look stupid.
He makes the wrong move; I make the tackle. Hard.
He falls.
Not only does he fall, he falls into the boards.
Knocked over by a girl. A girl who is 5'2".
My darling teammates shower me with thunderous applause. My friendly referee shouts encouragement. Colin joins in the ovation.
I momentarily stop. Smile. Glow.
And then I tackle another man on their team. I make him look stupid, too.
When I came off the field, to back slaps and the adoration of my teammates, I was happy.
When I saw Colin standing at the end of the makeshift reception line, I was complete.
Only for a moment. But complete nonetheless.

1. Did you TELL Colin that you'd love for him to stop by at a game? Is this why he came by?
2. If not #1, did you make it totally clear to him (VERBALLY) that you thought it was AWESOME that he came by. No points for glowing or hinting or kicking ass on the field on this point, hun. Just, "It made me really happy that you came by my game." or "I thought it was awesome that you came to my game" or whatever.
You can do it.
And, Aly? Just because he stops by to see you and you melt in his presence doesn't make you weak nor does it make any of the things he has done that are sucky suck less. It just means that something he did is good. Praise him and hope that he does more good things.
I'm happy for you.
Way to kick ass on the field, too.
High Five, sista.

Exactly what Kate said (boy, you have good readers!) Going weak in the knees is a good thing, and the fact that you did it Friday night is a sign of how meaningful his action was to you. LET HIM KNOW THAT. In no uncertain terms, he needs to know how nice that was. To intuitively expect someone to just know it was a big deal is unfair.
Besides, maybe all this time of you hanging back and not pressing things with him has made him miss you...
- A said...
(Sheepishly) Um, no. I didn't tell Colin I would lurve for him to stop by one of my games. And I haven't exactly lavished praise on him for coming, either. Although - seriously - if he couldn't see it then he's damn blind.
Anyway. Thx for the imput. Ya'll are too good for me.

Touching and obviously heartfelt, yet naturally processed by politicos as a potential gamechanging "Hillary moment" for Gingrich on the eve of a big vote. I doubt it'll change much. Hillary had to beat one guy in New Hampshire when she welled up; Newt has to beat four, all of whom have been trending upwards in the polls while he sinks. He needs more than a sweet, humanizing interlude to rally the base.
Maybe he needs … this:
Gingrich, speaking Wednesday during a conference call with conservative voters hosted by Ralph Reed's Faith and Freedom Coalition, was asked by one of the attendees whether he would consider Palin as a running mate.
"She is certainly one of the people you would look at. I am a great admirer of hers and she was a remarkable reform governor of Alaska, she's somebody who I think brings a great deal to the possibility of helping in government and that would be one of the possibilities," Gingrich said, according to Right Wing Watch…
"There are also some very important Cabinet positions that she could fill very, very well," Gingrich said. "I can't imagine anybody who would do a better job of driving us to an energy solution than Gov. Palin, for example. Tell her that she would certainly be on the list of one of the people we would consider."
She nearly rescued one big-government conservative's failing candidacy three years ago. Second time's the charm?
Your amazing stat of the day comes courtesy of CNN, which reports that nearly half of all political ads that ran in Iowa this month were attacks on Gingrich. Exit quotation: "Politics has become a really nasty, vicious, negative business and I think it's disgusting and I think it's dishonest."
Update: Really? Tweaking the guy for getting choked up about his dead mother?
Here in Merrimack, Romney started talking about his parents and what they meant to him, and how they taught him to love America — and said, "No, no, I won't cry."
Update: Actually, without more context, it's hard to tell if Romney was aiming that at Gingrich. Goofing on a guy for tearing up about his mom is in poor enough taste that I'd guess Romney would resist for strategic reasons even if he was tempted to do it. It may be that he's been so busy on the trail today that he hasn't even heard yet about what happened to Newt. Maybe he was just making a joke about how reminiscing about mom and dad is apt to make anyone a little misty. Maybe?
Update: To put it another way, why would a guy as famously, robotically on-message as Romney risk generating a sympathy vote for Gingrich at the last minute by goofing on him for crying? Every move he makes seems carefully plotted to maximize his advantage. He might be this nasty in private, but in public? Four days before the big vote? It would be a catastrophic, uncharacteristic lapse in his usual M.O.
Update: Turns out Romney didn't bring up crying, a questioner did. And even when he replied, he was careful to say there's nothing wrong with it:
The context of the Romney comment came, amid his discussion of his parents, with a voter saying, "Don't cry." Romney repeated it, saying, "No, no, I won't cry," and then followed up with, "There's no harm in that." Romney's camp argues strenuously that he was not in any way tweaking Gingrich, and that he made that clear.
This guy's not going to take needless risks.
Update: Here's the clip.

(Pocket-lint) - If you're like us, your nightstand or computer area at home or in the office is adorned with gadgets and their chargers. It's a pain plugging everything in, and it's a pain messing around with all those plugs and power sockets.
Hearing your pain, is Powermat, a company that makes a mat that, as the name suggests, is powered. What's so exciting is that to charge your favourite gadget all you need to do is put them in a specially designed jacket and dump them on said mat to start recharging them.
Coming in an array of various sizes, we've tested the home and office mat that allows you to charge up to three devices at any one time without plugging anything in.
We say without plugging anything in, but of course you do have to plug in the mat. It comes with a lengthy cord so you can bury the cable under a desk or behind your bed without too much problem.
Once powered the only way you can tell it's working is via a charging light on the charging space, and a noise that lets you know you've placed your phone, handheld console, satnav, etc, in the right place (both of which can be turned off).
While the company has announced that they are putting the charging technology into phone batteries that you'll be able to use to power most makes of handset, currently the Powermat system includes a dedicated case for the iPhone, the BlackBerry Bold, Curve and Pearl, and the Nintendo DS. There is a further "Powermat Powercube" device that comes with eight tips that you can then use to plug into a plethora of other gadgets.
Slipping on the iPhone case does frustratingly make the Apple phone considerably bigger and you will lose the dock connector at the bottom. It's not the end of the world, but then it's also not hard to charge your handset via a docking station or connection on your desk or nightstand.
For the BlackBerry Bold the solution is considerably neater as you can take off the backplate and replace it with the Powermat offering. In practice that means that you'll hardly notice the difference to the size of the handset when the new case is on.
Placing any of the above on the Powermat starts charging automatically, a small magnet keeps it in place, and it's really as simple as that. A nice touch is that once a full charge has been received it then shuts off the charging process so you aren't always in that charged state - something that isn't the case with most phone chargers.
Hidden out of the way is the ability to charge a further device via USB, but that's just not as cool now is it?
It's a charging station that will cost you £69.95 in the UK and $91 in the US. After you've bought the mat you've then got to buy the jackets - a further £34.99 ($36) in the UK for the iPhone and BlackBerry offerings or £29.99 ($29) for the multi-tipped one. Those prices are real, not conversions.
The end result is that you've paid out over a £100 ($110) just so you can forget about having to plug in a wire.
For some the cool factor that you can just dump your phone on a mat and start charging will be "cool" enough to warrant the outlay. Damn cool, but not for those looking to scrimp and save.

Sales of the General Motors compact increased by 4.4 percent in 2013.
Last year was a good one for the Ohio-built Chevrolet Cruze.
Sales of the General Motors compact increased by 4.4 percent in 2013, according to The Vindicator newspaper. The car is built in the GM plant in Lordstown, near Youngtown in northeast Ohio.
The overall increase came despite a 14.5-percent decrease in sales in December, according to figures released Friday. The Cruze sold 18,162 units last month, compared with 21,230 during the same period a year ago.
But sales of the Cruze for the year registered 248,224 units — 10,466 more than in 2012.
The Cruze is Chevrolet's second best-selling vehicle behind the Silverado pickup truck.
GM's overall sales also were up for the year.

Norman woman robbed by fake utility worker, police say
Worker insisted woman go into back yard
An elderly woman is the victim of a fake utility worker.
Norman police said they are investigating the case. The victim, who did not want to be identified, said the people who robbed her were organized, dressed in uniform and even set up cones.
"They had shovels and rakes and stuff like that," the victim said. "They put out yellow cones. In doing that everybody figured it's official."
She said she saw only one of the men, who was dressed in an olive green uniform.
"He said, 'I need to get into the back yard to measure for cable,'" the victim said.
The man asked the woman to come with him and she said she started getting suspicious when they walked to her back yard.
"He insisted that I walk around with him while he explained what was going to take place," the victim said.
During the 20-minute period, police said an accomplice burglarized the woman's home. Family heirlooms were stolen and police said it is cases like this one that remind people to stay alert.
"We recommend that if someone approaches you, generally they will tell you they are working for the utility company and you should ask to see identification," said Capt. Tom Easley with the Norman Police Department.
Police said they don't have a detailed description of those involved. They said a white man and a Hispanic man who are believed to be involved were driving a gray 4-door pickup truck.

Emory Long-Term Acute Care accepts most insurance plans, provided we receive proof of coverage. Once we have verified your insurance, a claim is issued for total charges. Your insurance company calculates the payment amount and pays us accordingly. In addition to this payment, your insurance company provides us with an explanation of benefits and your required amount.
If you are covered by more than one policy, we will process the claims for all companies. If there's an overpayment on your account, we will make a refund within the time allowed by Georgia law for such transactions, to the appropriate party.
Please remember that your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. We will do our very best to see that you receive all the benefits to which you are entitled, but you are ultimately responsible for the payment of your account.
Most insurance companies now require pre-certification for elective admissions and procedures. In other words, your stay must be determined to be medically necessary by your plan prior to your admission to the hospital. Only medically necessary services are deemed covered and payable by insurance carriers. If you are admitted without the necessary pre-certification, your insurance company could refuse to pay all or part of your hospital bill. Some plans require that certain surgical procedures be done on an outpatient basis. If you are unsure about these requirements, discuss them with your physician, your employers and your insurance company before you are admitted to the hospital.
Based on your insurance provider, we ask that you provide the following information when you are admitted.
Group Insurance (HMO, PPO, Indemnity and insurance purchased through the government exchange) – the mailing address for the claim and a copy of your current insurance card.
Individual Insurance – Acceptance of this type of insurance is based on your type of policy. Please speak with our Admissions Department prior to your admission.
Medicare and Medicaid – If you are a Medicare patient, we will need your Medicare card. If you are a Medicaid patient, please bring your current month's Medicaid form.
Workers' Compensation – Please provide the name, address and phone number of the employer, the name of the insurance company that will pay for your "on the job" injury, and the name and phone number of the contact person for authorization.
Active or Retired Military – Please bring your military ID card. Any dependent patient 10 years or age or older must present an ID card.

'No question' Mayweather distracted by breakup as Maidana fight looms
LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather is an overwhelming 11-to-1 favorite to defeat WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana in their pay-per-view unification bout at the MGM Grand on Saturday night.
Yet there are concerns from the fight's co-promoter that Mayweather's life is in a state of disarray and that he might be more distracted by his personal life than he has been since he went to jail nearly three years ago for domestic assault.
Three weeks ago the 37-year-old Mayweather announced that he and his longtime live-in fiancee, "Miss" Chantel Jackson had broken up. On Wednesday night, Showtime's All-Access reality series revealed that the breakup came shortly after Jackson, who was pregnant by Mayweather with twins, was no longer pregnant.
Despite the drama created by the pregnancy and breakup, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe has no concerns about how the events have affected his friend.
"I don't think Floyd Mayweather gets affected by too many things as it relates to preparation for a fight," Ellerbe said. "Come Saturday night, you will see an even more exciting Floyd.
"Maidana's a very tough guy, and we know he's gonna bring it. At the end of the day it's about wins and losses and Floyd's a winner."
Mayweather, a 10-time world champion and world's pound-for-pound best with a 45-0 record, is scheduled to earn at least $32 million for his 36 (or fewer) minutes in the ring against Maidana (Showtime pay per view, 9 p.m. ET Saturday).
He has earned a minimum of $105 million for his last three fights and likely a whole lot more from pay-per-view.
During a roundtable discussion with reporters Tuesday, Mayweather refused to answer a question about how he's been since his breakup with Jackson. He called the question "rude," though nobody at the time was aware of the loss of the twins.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, whose company is co-promoting the fight, is concerned about Mayweather's mental state.
"There's no question about it, he's distracted," Schaefer said. "Think about it, we saw a very emotional Floyd (during Wednesday's press conference). Clearly, with a day or two to go until fight night, against without question one of the most dangerous opponents he's fought, his focus should be 100% on the fight.
"With what we've seen, and what we're hearing today, I think there is a lot of other things going through Floyd's head. In one moment he says it might be my last fight, the next he's saying he might fight more than the three fights. There's a lot of stuff going through Floyd's head."
Future Hall of Fame fighter Bernard Hopkins sees it as an opportunity for Mayweather to turn a negative into a positive.
Hopkins, 49, a Golden Boy light-heavyweight champion who set a record a few weeks ago by becoming the oldest boxer to defend and unify his titles, said he believes Mayweather will use the distraction as motivation.
"Any distraction is motivation for us," he said Thursday, referring to veteran fighters in general. "We need that. We got everything else. We use every little thing to motivate us. I used to start arguing with people. I'd fire them and hire them back an hour later. These things that you don't actually plan and plot.
"The only chance Maidana has is if the distractions finally catch up with (Floyd), or anybody on this level at this age and in these big moments. I think he's going to rise to the occasion to use that, which he probably needed anyway. Because everybody's picking a cakewalk."
Yet, anything can happen in the ring, as Schaefer and a Showtime audience witnessed in December, when Maidana knocked his welterweight champion Adrien Broner from the unbeaten ranks, knocking him down twice. He believes the unthinkable can happen again.
"Is Floyd going to be as focused and concentrated as he has been in past fights?" Schaefer said. "Based on what I've seen and heard today, I doubt that very much.
"This is serious, it's not like somebody rear-ended his car. This is life. There are some things you can turn on and off in your head.
"This is not one of those."

Textile fire at dump site being monitored by fire fighters
Fire fighters are keeping a close eye on a blaze that broke out at a dumpsite in the region of Liberec, north Bohemia, preventing it from spreading to similar nearby facilities. Burning in a sheet metal hall are between 2,500 to 3,000 tonnes of textiles thought to originally have been from Germany. Experts estimate that it will take two or three days for the fire to run its course. The fire broke out on Friday afternoon and spread rapidly throughout the hall, the mayor of Bulovka, the village hosting the dumpsite, confirmed. The mayor refused to speculate whether the fire had been set intentionally. The hall is 60 by 20 metres; textiles inside are piled five or six metres high. According to experts the temperature inside is over 1000 degrees Celsius.

President Zeman honours 38 personalities on Czechoslovak Independence Day10/28/2020
In an address to the nation on the occasion of Czechoslovak Independence Day, President Miloš Zeman said the holiday should be a celebration of national pride in the outstanding people who had shaped the country's history.
He expressed regret that due to the coronavirus epidemic he could not hand out high state distinctions to those deserving of the honour at Prague Castle, thanking them for their outstanding contribution to the country's development.
The list of 38 laureates would be made public and the awards would be presented to them in a year's time, Mr. Zeman said.
Among those honoured with the country's highest distinction, the Order of the White Lion, are WWII hero Miloslav Masopust and war pilots František Chábera and Josef Koukal decorated in memoriam; , likewise legionary and resistance fighter Heliodor Píka, victim of a communist judicial murder.
As the president announced earlier, he also awarded the country's highest state distinction to the outgoing Minister of Health Roman Prymula for his good work in managing the first wave of the coronavirus epidemic.

The wooden Orthodox Church of St. Michael in the Kinský Garden in Prague was ravaged by fire on Wednesday afternoon. Despite efforts to save the 17th century building the main tower of the church collapsed and the church burnt down to the beams.
The Church of St. Michael was relocated from the village of Medvědovce near Mukačevo in today's Ukraine to Prague in 1929 to celebrate the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the annexation of Carpathian Ruthenia into then-Czechoslovakia. It is part of the collections of the Ethnographic Museum. No one was reported injured. The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Several hundred people protest against coronavirus restrictions10/28/2020
Several hundred people took to the streets of Prague to protest against government measures aimed at bringing the coronavirus epidemic under control on Wednesday.
The biggest protest took place on Prague's Namesti republiky square where police officers and the anti-riot squad intervened to enforce the government-imposed health restrictions by forming a barrier to keep large groups of protesters apart.
Current government measures against the spread of Covid-19 allow demonstrations with a maximum of 100 participants.
The speakers addressing the crowd accused the government of enforcing measures that did not work but impoverished the nation.
Independence Day celebrations low-key10/28/2020

The country's top officials and political leaders are visiting Vitkov Hill individually to lay wreaths and flowers at the memorial.
Prague Castle will release a list of those who have been awarded high state distinctions on the occasion of the public holiday and President Miloš Zeman will address the nation on national television.

I really don't like how they organise this festival.
You see all the bands on the poster and think, how cool the lineup, and the sheer number of bands on the schedule. Creativeman or better put, UNcreativeman, should get a big hard, violent pat on the back for making the days as unpleasant as possible.
Where do I start?
This year like every year (yes I went last year, but I was too exhausted/peeved to write about it), they have a LOT of overlap between the bands. There is no way to catch the full sets of the bands. Either leave early, or miss the beginning of the next band's performance.
The staff also make it extremely difficult to get to the next stage, quickly moving the entrance and exits to as far as they can to give you good practice for next year's marathon. In the end I ignored them and went in the exits anyway.
The photo nazi security made it difficult to take photos, but I managed to capture a few choice band moments of the festival.
I've heard Gotye's "Somebody that I used to know" everywhere in Tokyo, even in the supermarket. This performance was definitely one of the best of the day. He also speaks fluent Japanese. Who knew?
Nelly Furtado was another act I was looking forward to. The guitar initially sounded a bit fizzy, but improved later on. A couple of songs I would've liked to have heard but a good show!
As you can see, pretty far away watching Green Day's long two hour set. They've got a large repertoire, and fit the stadium well. Great interaction with the audience.
When I think of Sigur Ros, it's hard not to use words like "ethereal". Listening to them live, I felt like it was putting me to sleep, but in a good way. Sweet Icelandic lullabies for sure.
Perfume's fans are totally nuts. While I got reasonably close, the amount of pushing was pretty insane. Bit dangerous. Amazing for a group that I'm sure do a whole lot of miming. Nice eye candy. Interesting to hear them REALLY sing, Seiko's "Fresh".
I had high expectations from the Cardigans. Gran Turismo was a favourite CD, but it was a slow-paced set. Nina's looking a bit frumpy here, and her voice sounded a bit drained. "Love Fool" and "My Favorite Game" peaked my interest.
Garbage were truly back in form tonight. A powerful set. Definitely in the top performances of Summersonic. Unfortunately had to leave early. F*** you Creativeman, honestly F*** YOU!
Now this is going BACK. I grew up with Tears For Fears. A fantastic performance. You wouldn't know this band originated way back in the 80s. I never knew Roland did the falsetto in "Seeds of Love". Wow. Funny to see the audience of oldies getting down here.
If I had a choice I'd rather see these bands on their own tours. Unfortunately this is often my only way of seeing them when they come to Japan. Such a shame.
If I had a choice I'd rather see these bands on their own tours. Unfortunately this is often my only way of seeing them when they come to Japan. Such a shame.

Who is she?
Brunhilde is a sensitive and emotional woman with a very charming manner, who is eager to please and be liked in return. She is rather outgoing and seeks the company of others, with whom she is sociable, communicative, and particularly accommodating and helpful. She may need to be guided, given her hesitant, undecided and somewhat impressionable nature. She is refined, a perfectionist (fussy even), and not indifferent to beauty, aesthetics and art. Brunhilde is very sensitive to comfort as well as harmony in her family environment, and both are necessary for her emotional well-being. Indeed, emotional distress can have significant impact on her equilibrium, and may cause her to become withdrawn. She is of fine moral character and strong-willed, with the possible exception of when her feelings have been hurt: Indeed, her emotional environment has a stimulating effect, and if she feels alone or abandoned she tends to lose her motivation in whatever she´s doing. Therefore, when she is a child, care must be taken in the expression of affection: if she feels that she is not loved enough, (or indeed if she considers that she is loved too much) she can be known to indulge in a certain indolence, becoming apathetic and even lazy. It is imperative to empower her to become autonomous and responsible, but again, be careful not to go too far: the karmic 6 means that she could experience particular difficulty in relation to her family, and is capable of disowning them completely, or by contrast, she may feel constantly obliged to them... Extremely sensitive to beauty and harmony, it would be very beneficial for her to cultivate an artistic hobby, avoiding scattering her energy too far and wide, because she tends to be rather versatile. She is an adherent to the "path of least resistance" and prefers to side-step problems when they arise...
What does she like?
Deep down, Brunhilde is far from materialist, and is inclined to live her life according to more spiritual values. Daydreaming of a perfect world is equally a perfect way for her to escape reality, which can sometimes be harsh with all its worries and problems. On the same note, she also loves travelling and anything else that breaks the monotony. In her emotional life she can lack objectivity, and could be described as a "sentimental fool", who dreams of a thrilling romance with Prince Charming, once she has found him that is. She needs to idealize the man she loves, and this tends to lead to disappointment when she discovers that "the chosen one" isn´t perfect, after all. On the other hand, settling down and starting a family is paramount for her, but she is very elitist: making decisions in love isn´t always easy for her and she can be known to falter at the fateful moment! Furthermore, she is rather demanding and tends to be somewhat critical of her partner due to her keen analytical mind and attention to detail... Even so, she can also be patient and understanding - if he´s worth it, in which case she is capable of utter devotion...

What does she do?
Her home life will probably be her number one priority, although she could be tempted by a career of artistic or esthetic orientation, professions connected with the fields of medicine and healthcare, ecology, zoology, as well as occupations requiring accuracy and attention to detail.

"Other photos will not be deemed credible"
Paul Joseph Watson
April 18, 2013
The FBI has attempted to blacklist photos which show men working for a private military organization wearing heavy backpacks and appearing to take part in a drill at the Boston Marathon, instead focusing on two other individuals while proclaiming, "other photos will not be deemed credible."
As Infowars has documented over the last two days, photos taken from the scene of the blast show numerous individuals wearing identical clothing while carrying heavy black backpacks, talking into cellphones and in one case placing one of the backpacks on the ground.
Infowars reporter Dan Bidondi was at the FBI press conference and attempted to get questions answered about bomb drills that eyewitnesses said were taking place on the morning of the marathon, but was ignored and subsequently confronted by two large men at the end of the conference.
In not only ignoring but aggressively attempting to discredit the photos showing men who are likely employees of the private security firm Craft International on the scene of the bombings engaged in some kind of drill, the FBI has signaled its intention to continue the cover-up of what really happened.
View the photos the FBI says are "not credible" and refuses to even address below.

text: Hello everybody, i'm new to this site but so far i like the look and the response of how the pages quickly open.. Very slick. I am only on the internet via the library, so my options for doing things are limited, as most of the solutions suggested to me in the past when, i've had a problem seem to require you to have internet access at home. My current problem involves a virus i've picked up called Pharoah.exe. I've asked for help on other forums and most of the solutions require me to be online. I've tracked down and deleted most of the files that are creating the problem, but they keep coming back. In essence, the virus is duplicating my file waiting for me to go online, when it will then no doubt transfer all my files to who knows where. At the moment it is just copying all my files and not corrupting any, it just slows the computer down. But i've been told that it might have a time limit built in which will start deleting my file. I would like to get rid of this virus before this starts to happen. Can anybody offer a solution which does not require me to go on line. I am familiar with going into the registary in order to change things and this would appear to me to be the answer. If I could find the file/program which is recreating the file that i keep on deleting but which keeps coming back, then i think i will have found the cure. Thanks in advance. Milan

Hazey date set
Ubisoft's latest release schedule has put a loose release date on Free Radical's oft-slipped shooter, Haze, promising a "Q1" turn-out. That's actually Ubi's first financial quarter, so don't wet the bed just yet. The game will ship in Europe between April and June this year.
Delays for the title were getting a little yawn-worthy, so this is good news. Haze is a PS3 exclusive, despite untold rumours to the contrary.

...From the CBS Television Network
LOS ANGELES - Nov. 4, 2013 - Emily Wickersham joins the team on NCIS as a series regular beginning Tuesday, Nov. 19.

Jacqueline Weis Liebergott, 11th President (1992–2011)
Jacqueline Weis Liebergott earned BA degrees from the University of Maryland and MS and PhD degrees from the University of Pittsburgh. She came to Emerson in 1970 as an assistant professor of communication sciences and disorders. In 1984, she was named dean of graduate studies and shortly thereafter became a vice president and academic dean. She became acting president in 1992 after the death of President Zacharis and was inaugurated in 1993. During her tenure, President Liebergott worked tirelessly to secure nine new buildings to create a new Boston campus. In 2008, the College purchased land in Los Angeles to build a new center, which would serve as a permanent base for Emerson's Los Angeles program. Liebergott reorganized the academic departments and established a School of the Arts, a School of Communication, and an Institute for Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies. She doubled the size of the faculty and increased student enrollment, while also improving the College's financial standing. During her tenure, the graduation rate increased by 28 percent. In 2003, the College completed a full restoration of the Majestic Theatre and in 2010 reopened the Paramount Theatre as a live performance venue. The restoration of these two theaters culminated in the creation of ArtsEmerson, which showcases first-class performances of theater, film, and music from all over the world. Liebergott revitalized the Athletics Department by building Emerson's first gymnasium in the Piano Row residence hall in 2006 and partnering with the City of Boston to refurbish Rotch Playground.
John Zacharis, 10th President (1989–1992)
John Zacharis earned BS and MS degrees from Emerson College. After receiving a PhD from Indiana University, Zacharis returned to Emerson to teach in the Speech Department. He later took on the roles of dean of academic affairs and senior vice president before assuming the office of president. President Zacharis worked to reunite the Emerson community following the failed bid to move the campus to Lawrence, Massachusetts. His plan included improving Emerson's facilities by purchasing buildings that would be more appropriate for classrooms, studios, and offices than the Back Bay brownstones. He also made a commitment to academic depth by adding diverse academic programs and highly qualified staff and faculty. In addition to the improvements on the Boston campus, Zacharis opened the European Institute of International Communication in Maastricht, the Netherlands, in the fall of 1991. Unfortunately, President Zacharis was stricken with leukemia early in his presidency and passed away February 20, 1992.
Allen Koenig, 9th President (1979–1989)
Allen Koenig received a BA degree from the University of Southern California, an MA degree from Stanford University, and a PhD in speech communication from Northwestern University. He came to Emerson from the University of Southern California's Idyllwild campus, where he served as executive director. President Koenig turned an eye toward academic excellence by increasing the percentage of faculty with terminal degrees from 46 percent to 72 percent. In addition, the student body grew by 66 percent during his presidency. Koenig continued to expand the Boston campus to meet the needs of faculty and students with the purchase of the Majestic Theatre in 1983, as well as several other buildings in the Back Bay area. The Majestic Theatre was restored over a period of several years and in 1989 reopened as a live performance theater with the student musical "George M!" During his presidency, Koenig worked to secure land in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in a bid to build an entirely new and unified campus. But by 1989, a move to Lawrence was deemed unfeasible, due to financial constraints and dissent from the Emerson community. Despite the failed bid to move Emerson out of Boston, Koenig was still able to expand the College's reach. In 1985, a formal overseas program began in the Netherlands at Kasteel Well, purchased by Emerson in 1988. In 1986, Emerson began its Los Angeles program for students seeking internships and networking opportunities on the West Coast; the program continues to this day.
Gus Turbeville, 8th President (1975–1977)
Gus Turbeville was a graduate of Vanderbilt University and earned an AM degree from Louisiana State University and a PhD in social psychology from Michigan State University. He came to Emerson in the fall of 1975 from Coker College in Hartsville, South Carolina. President Turbeville consolidated various departments into divisions so they would operate more efficiently and effectively. The chairs of these divisions were elected by their departments, a first at Emerson. Turbeville felt a genuine concern for his students and faculty and was well liked by the students. He was able to connect with students on a daily basis because he lived on the 10th floor of the 100 Beacon Street dormitory and often dined in the student dining hall. Turbeville's short presidency was marked by accomplishment, most notably bringing national visibility to the College through various public events that emphasized and increased its positive image.
Richard Chapin, 7th President (1967–1975)
Richard Chapin was a graduate of Harvard College and received an MBA from Harvard as well. He served as assistant dean for educational planning at Harvard's Graduate School of Business Administration before arriving at Emerson in the midst of a socially turbulent time. Despite social unrest on campus and around the world, President Chapin was able to promote the College's academic advancement as well as continue the expansion of its campus and its finances. Chapin addressed the problem of hiring and retaining faculty members with PhDs to continue the College's accreditation by NEASC. To give the faculty a voice and provide a more democratic governance of the College, he approved the creation of a Faculty Assembly in 1969. He also helped enhance the College's curriculum by reorganizing departments and revising the general requirements for an undergraduate degree.
Samuel Justus McKinley, 6th President (1952–1967)
S. Justus McKinley graduated from Franklin and Marshall College and earned AM and PhD degrees from Harvard. He was recruited by Emerson College in 1934 to head the History and Social Sciences Department. In 1946, he left Emerson for a professorship at Springfield College, citing differences of opinion with the administration of Boylston Green. After a nearly three-year period of turmoil following Green's resignation, which included two failed interim presidencies, S. Justus McKinley was asked to return to Emerson to become its next president. McKinley returned to Emerson at a time when the College was in financial crisis and on the brink of collapse. Student morale was terrible and plagiarism was rampant. To combat these problems, he boosted student morale by attending every student production and making himself more visible and available to the student body. He also stressed the importance of academics over social clubs and extracurricular activities. He created two new departments, Broadcasting and Speech Therapy, both outgrowths of the Speech Department. In 1953, the College created the Samuel D. Robbins Speech Clinic in honor of the Emerson faculty member who started the Speech Department in 1935. That same year, the Broadcasting Department began offering courses in television production, and in 1954 the College built a state-of-the-art television studio. McKinley embarked on several successful fundraising campaigns throughout his term in office, which allowed the College to become financially stable and purchase several buildings. In 1965, Emerson acquired the Deertrees Theatre in Harrison, Maine, which served as a summer theater for Emerson students as well as students from other institutions.
Boylston Green, 5th President (1946–1949)
Boylston Green received AB and AM degrees from the University of South Carolina and a PhD in English from Yale University. He came to Emerson College from Middlebury College in Vermont and was the first president to have a doctoral degree. President Green established a Student Activities Committee, which aided in the creation of the student newspaper, "The Berkeley Beacon," and WECB, the first college radio station. Shortly after the creation of WECB, a new radio station, WERS, received the first educational broadcasting license on the East Coast in 1949. After three years as president, Boylston Green left Emerson to become vice chancellor of the University of the South.
Harry Seymour Ross, 4th President (1932–1945)
Harry Seymour Ross was born in East Haddam, Connecticut, in 1868 and attended Oberlin College before transferring to and completing his degree at Emerson College of Oratory. After graduation, he was hired by Worcester Academy as an instructor in elocution, English, and history. In 1908, President Southwick chose Ross to become the academic dean at Emerson, and they spent the next 24 years working closely together. Immediately following the death of President Southwick, Ross was elected acting president for the remainder of the 1932–33 academic year. Despite the Depression, President Ross was able to purchase 130 Beacon Street for classroom and administrative offices, and the property became the flagship building of Emerson's Back Bay campus. With the decline of Chautauqua circuits, courses and degrees related to oratory fell out of favor. To keep the College curriculum relevant, Ross expanded it beyond oratory and dramatic arts to include courses in radio broadcasting and speech pathology, while strengthening the liberal arts curriculum by adding history, modern languages, philosophy, and religion courses. In 1937, the College awarded its first Bachelor of Arts degree, and by 1939, "of Oratory" was dropped from the College's name. Ross created the College's first theater in the Carriage House, located behind 128 and 130 Beacon Street. He resigned in May 1945, citing age and poor health.
Henry Lawrence Southwick, 3rd President (1908–1932)
A student of Charles Wesley Emerson from 1895 to 1897, Henry Lawrence Southwick was a pioneer in educational dramatics. He introduced drama into the curriculum and created the Southwick Recital series, which still continues more than a hundred years later. Upon becoming president, Southwick recognized that administrative changes were necessary and spent most of his tenure strengthening academic standards and setting the institution on firm financial ground. During his term, the school year increased from 28 weeks to 32 weeks and the College became a four-year institution. Emerson College also purchased its first building in 1928, the former Ericson Hotel, which became the Emerson College Residence and housed all the College's female students. Southwick also started the first endowment for the College as a way to secure its financial future. He developed the first Emerson study trips abroad, which continue today at Kasteel Well. In 1932, Southwick became ill in Roanoke, Virginia, during his annual tour of the South. He returned to Boston, where he suffered a fatal heart attack shortly before Thanksgiving. Southwick served as president of Emerson for 24 years, and remains the longest-serving College president.
William James Rolfe, 2nd President (1903–1908)
William James Rolfe was born in 1827 in Massachusetts. He attended Amherst College and Kirkwood Academy in Maryland before becoming an instructor at Day's Academy in Wrentham, Massachusetts. By the time Rolfe assumed the presidency of Emerson College in 1903, he was 75 years old and was an internationally famous scholar. He worked mainly to advise the students and serve as a role model. According to Henry Lawrence Southwick, Rolfe was the "pioneer in introducing the study of English into the curriculum of American schools." Rolfe's greatest accomplishment was his work on the plays of William Shakespeare. In 1904, he published "Shakespeare the Boy," a 550-page book on Shakespeare's life.
Charles Wesley Emerson, Founder and 1st President (1880–1903)
Charles Wesley Emerson was born in 1837 and raised in Vermont. He began preaching at age 19 at the Congregationalist Church in West Halifax, Vermont, and continued to preach at the Unitarian Church in Chelsea, Massachusetts, while attending the school of oratory at Boston University. Although he carried the title of "Dr.," Emerson did not earn a doctoral degree, but earned several honorary degrees that provided him with the title. Emerson founded the Boston Conservatory of Elocution, Oratory, and Dramatic Art in 1880 with 10 students at 13 Pemberton Square. Emerson's school opened one year after Boston University's school of oratory closed, following the death of Lewis B. Monroe, Emerson's mentor and former professor. The College's curriculum was rooted in the theories and writings of Delsarte and Swedenborg, which Emerson studied under Professor Monroe. In 1881, Emerson changed the name of the school to the Monroe Conservatory of Oratory; the school was renamed the Emerson College of Oratory in 1891 after several students and alumni demanded the name be changed to honor its founder. By 1902, Dr. Emerson was in ill health and officially resigned his position as president of the College by the end of the year.

Just the other day, I received a notification that a comment had been posted to my last blog entry. Guessing that I had either been stripped of gainful employment or resigned myself to a diet, Mr. Anonymous wished me well. This isn't the first time the inactivity of my blog has been questioned, but it did make me realize that it's been an obscenely long time since my last post. Does this mean the end of this little hobby of mine? Although five years is an exceedingly long life span for a food blog, I sincerely doubt that I'll call it quits anytime soon. I can't promise that I'll return to the 200 posts in a year halcyon days of 2009, but blog posts will be forthcoming starting with a little detour to Weidmann's in Meridian.
This story, like so many others, begins with a trip on I-20 East towards Atlanta. However, instead of the usual mulling over Tuscaloosa or Birmingham spots, an extra bit of last minute work at the office left me hitting the city limits of Meridian a few minutes after one and just in time for lunch. Rarely stopping for anything more than a bit of gas and a pit stop, I decided that this time was a good as any to stop into Weidmann's.
"I wish it was crunchy", that was the first thought that entered my mind when I looked at the rather charming if a bit kitsch crock of peanut butter at the center of my table at Weidmann's.
Handmade by a local artist and bearing all of Weidmann's relevant details, the crock contained a plastic cup of smooth and slightly salty peanut butter.
A tradition that began with a butter shortage during the Second World War has become a Weidmann's trademark and even with the lack of crunch, it's a tradition I can support.
After starting with the peanut butter, it was on to another Weidmann's tradition, the fried green tomatoes.
Despite looking a bit oily, these tomatoes were nicely breaded and were about as crispy as fried green tomatoes could be.
With a firm texture, these March tomatoes weren't too tart, just enough to keep things interesting.
The comeback dressing was a different story; sweet and creamy as expected, this condiment was crying out for a touch chili powder or black pepper to combat the sweetness. When combined with the tomatoes, I quickly realized that the unripe tomatoes had no need for the comeback; they were sweet enough on their own.
Hoping to get a taste for the Weidmann's menu, I also ordered a cup of their house seafood, chicken, and sausage gumbo. Unfortunately, the gumbo arrived at the same time as the tomatoes. Aside from being an annoyance, the time the gumbo spent lingering may help explain its thickness.
True to its name, there were chunks of sausage, nicely briny shrimp, large pieces of okra, but, strangely, very little chicken.
Also absent was much of a roux flavor. Tasting more of an okra stew than the Louisiana gumbos I've come to know and love, this gumbo, while full of ingredients, was decent but lacking any real depth.
Before I had a chance to finish my gumbo, my catfish entrée arrived at my table. Pushing aside the bowl, I was curious to see Weidmann's version of crabmeat Belvedere.
Served with a side of butter beans and creole cabbage, this plate had a homey quality that may not win awards for aesthetics, but it certainly looked like a filling lunch.
Starting with sides, the butter beans were big, creamy, and incredibly pale. Oddly colored they may have been, they would be a fine addition to any meat and three.
The creole cabbage is something that needs to be on more menus. Tomato braised and with a definite chili pepper tail, their magic really came through when combined with the butter beans. Just those two made me wish I had ordered a vegetable plate.
That's enough gushing over vegetables; the point of the plate was the catfish and its crabmeat Belvedere.
Crispy on the edges, juicy, and delightfully flakey, this was a well-grilled filet of Mississippi catfish.
Crispy on the edges, juicy, and delightfully flakey, this was a well-grilled filet of Mississippi catfish.
Regarding the toppings, it seemed the addition of both a light cream gravy and crabmeat Belvedere was too much for even this sturdy piece of catfish to handle.
Visiting a restaurant with as much as history as Weidmann's arms me with a certain amount of hesitation. Will a place that claims to be Mississippi's oldest restaurant still exist because of pure nostalgia from an aging clientele? Is the kitchen running on a reputation earned decades prior and has since been stripped of any meaning? I can say that Weidmann's did not reinforce my suspicions even though things were a bit of a mixed bag. The timing issues I can somewhat attribute to the busy lunch hour although that's a piss poor excuse. While the gumbo and comeback left me wanting, there were some things that set a hook that made me want to come back namely the well grilled fish and the superb vegetables. With an exceptionally large lunch menu that warrants further exploring, there may be an order of Weidmann's shrimp and grits in my future travels or at the very least some peanut butter and crackers.

Michael Johns, 'American Idol' Season 7 Finalist, Dies at 35by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Sad news to report to 'American Idol' fans, as Season 7 contestant Michael Johns died yesterday, Aug. 1. He was 35 years old.
TMZ reports that preliminary findings indicate that he died from a blood clot in the ankle. A rep for the singer confirmed the news of his death to a fan Twitter account dedicated to Johns.
It is with a heavy heart and inconsolable sadness that we confirm the passing of our friend Michael Johns. No other details will b avail at
— Sedz (@SedzOz) August 2, 2014
Johns made it to the final eight in Season 7 of 'American Idol' in 2008 before being eliminated. David Cook and David Archuleta ended up being the final two contestants that year.
The Australian singer continued to make music after his 'Idol' career, and had modest success with his single, 'Heart on My Sleeve.' The song reached the charts at adult contemporary radio stations in the U.S.
Johns leaves behind his wife, Stacey Vuduris. The two married in 2007.
We wish Johns' family, friends and fans our condolences during this difficult time.

Three southern quarterbacks will sit in a room all dressed up being asked softball questions about how awesome it is to be a quarterback of a top five college football team. Then one of them will hold up a trophy of an old, old man stiff-arming an invisible linebacker. Follow the Heisman presentation after the jump, unless your last name Harrell.
* * * * *
9:01 — Well, damn, that went quick. If this was a college football game it'd probably be 4:29 left in the first, and they'd be reviewing an out of bounds play. Enjoy the brand new already-played football game, everyone.
9:01 — The voting breakdown:
1. Sam Bradford 1726
2. Colt Mccoy 1604
3. Tim Tebow 1575
4. Graham Harrell 213
5. Michael Crabtree 116
6. Shonn Greene 65
7. Pat White 19
8:57 — Thank me, Sam. Thank me. C'mon, I have to be next.
8:55 — Why, that would be SAM BRADFORD.
8:54 — And the winner...
8:53 — Matt Leinart couldn't make the trip. He's busy ... playing ... football?
8:51 — Paul Hornung has pants on. Damn, this will be a close vote.
8:51 — Hahaha. BerWANGer.
8:50 — It's been almost a whole hour and we haven't even handed out Best Cinematography yet.
8:47 — We're leaving someone out. There's another quarterback from the south who long deserves to be mentioned in the breath of Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford, and Tim Tebow. There was a lot of commotion over him not being here tonight, and it's very understandable. Of course, I am talking about:
Name Of Quarterback: Johnnie Moxon
School: West Canaan High Coyotes
Stats: 1734 yards, 66.8% completion, 14 TDs, 5 INTs, 4 rush TDs
Actor Who Would Play Him: James Van Der Beek
Miracles Performed: Resisted high school girl in whip cream bikini, stood up to Jon Voight when no one else would, railed against the Texan high school football establishment of pro-set formations.
8:46 — Behind the scenes: "Poise" was almost a bingo square. Good thing I didn't include it, otherwise it'd have been riddled with sperm-bullets.
8:43 — By the way, you're probably wondering why the Barack Obama picture up top. It's because he was born in the next to Tim Tebow in the Philippines.
8:41 — Good, we got that Army Heisman winning guy out of the way. Now it's MONTAGE TIME.
Name Of Quarterback: Tim Tebow
School: University of Florida Gators
Stats: 2515 yards, 64.9% completion, 28 TDs, 2 INT, 12 rush TDs
Actor Who Would Play Him: Young Mel Gibson, or Jim Caviezel, or anyone who looks good drenched in blood
Miracles Performed: Became the only sophomore to win a Heisman trophy. Cured Percy Harvin's leprosy. Converted a state of hedonistic heterosexual football fans into loving, Christian schoolgirls. Fed the homeless by cooking a Brunswick stew out of nothing but his own internal motivation and a store-bought can of Brunstick stew.
8:40 — How did they find time to pry Andre Ware away from his busy schedule to make it to this presentation?
8:38 — By the way, about this Greatest Game Ever Played rebroadcast business. They're showing a re-run on ESPN prime time. Earlier on ESPN Classic, they showed a live college football game.
8:34 — There's a High School Heisman? And a guy named Leibowitz won it? Guess it's time to update the leaflet.
8:34 — "Tell me, coach Meyer. Share your defensive secrets on how to beat Sam Bradford. Coach Stoops, I entrust you'll cover your ears for this part."
8:32 — Take Sam Bradford's advice. Be great at every sport, kids!
8:30 — I have a feeling it was Sam's father's idea to cut his hair like 1970s-era Chevy Chase.
8:29 — "He always liked sports." Something tells me the angle of this Sam Bradford feature won't be "overcoming adversity."
8:26 — Mike Rozier handily won the 1983 Heisman over someone named Steve Young. Good thing he did. Because today he gets to be mentioned on a LIVE NATIONAL TELECAST sandwiched between features of today's hottest quarterbacks. And whatever happened to that other guy? Last I heard, people were throwing shit at him.
8:23 — Phew. For a minute there I was afraid Mack Brown was going to give a shitty opinion on McCoy's football ability.
8:21 — Goddamn, my bingo card is getting tagged more than a UT cheerleader passed out near a Hairy Buffalo.
8:18 — That was a nice profile, but I think we can do better:
Name Of Quarterback: Colt McCoy
School: University of Texas Longhorns
Stats: 3445 yards, 77.6% completion, 32 TDs, 7 INT, 10 rush TDs
Actor Who Would Play Him: Zac Efron
Miracles Performed: Finished with an NCAA record-breaking completion percentage. Somehow won over the hearts and minds of cosmopolitan Longhorns fans despite having such a rural, folsky name. Got the entire team to bathe daily in a mixture of sawdust and tiny bits of American flag.
8:16 — "Nobody knows where Tuscola, Texas as until Colt McCoy signed with the University if Texas." Um, bad news for ya, Tuscola citizen...
8:14 — "Hi, Chris? Here are a list of websites that college kids visit. Please use at least two of them in a joke. You'll probably want to not mention Bangbros, however, unless you want to co-host a show with Fred Hickman on NESN at 3 a.m."
8:13 — Ah, a BCS joke aimed at McCoy in the event of a Heisman voting tie. "BECAUSE YOUR TEAM LOST THE TIEBREAKER!" Twist the knife.
8:13 — Chris Fowler is dying to sign Sam Bradford's cast.
8:11 — I'd like to thank Evanescence cover band "The Fallen" for providing this somber background music. I'm extremely pumped up in a very mellow, self-defeating fashion.
8:10 — Really, why even make a new former Heisman winner montage every year?
8:05 — With the commercial, let's look at our first candidate:
Name Of Quarterback: Sam Bradford
School: University of Oklahoma Sooners
Stats: 4464 yards, 68.3% completion, 48 TDs, 6 INT, 5 rush TDs
Actor Who Would Play Him: Ryan Reynolds, aka "Van Wilder"
Miracles Performed: Led his offense to 60 points in five straight games. Got a great deal on a car from Rhett Bomar. Went six whole days without eating a steak. Convinced BCS computers that loss to Texas was actually a war with Eastasia.
8:03 — Someone evidently found Ron Dayne in a Sheboygan-area log cabin.
8:03 — Herbstreit said he changed his vote four times. I'm guessing he just changed it to Terrelle Pryor to avoid tough decisions.
8:01 — BradfoMcTebow is milling around, shaking hands of former Heisman winners. It probably isn't helping them that none of them are wearing nametags.
Pre-Telecast Babble
If I've learned anything about college football, it's this:
• Good coaches don't stay in Bowling Green forever, eventually they will win championships at Florida
• Auburn is impressed with a 2-10 record
• It's immoral to include players' names in video games
• The best college football players are only quarterbacks and sometimes running backs.
A guy like Andre Smith isn't considered the best college football player at all. Yet he only allowed one sack all year and probably will be drafted way higher than any of these three guys. Also, he played for a team that didn't lose until last Saturday. What more d'ya need?
Also, about Graham Harrell not being in New York for the ceremony: so what? Can't you still win this even if you're not physically in the building? I mean, couldn't technically everyone vote for Eastern Michigan's long snapper and he'd still win? Moreover, why didn't everyone vote for Eastern Michigan's long snapper? Dude kept EMU's punting game crisp and efficient. And EMU beat Central Michigan, who beat who beat Ohio, who beat Akron, who beat Syracuse, who beat Notre Dame, who beat Navy, who beat Wake Forest, who beat Ole Miss, who beat Florida, who's in the national title game! You can't possibly leave out the impeccable long snapping of the legendary whatshisname and call the Heisman Trophy the award that goes to the best player in college football.
