After being on ice, THQ dumped Devil's Third, the latest game Ninja Gaiden mastermind and Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki, and gave the rights to Itagaki's Valhalla Studios.
Now with said rights in hand, studio boss Satoshi Kanematsu announces that the game is coming to "a wide range of digital devices" as well as to home consoles and PC.
According to Kanematsu, "We are also looking beyond the boundaries of video games and plan to work with other various forms of media, including manga, novels, animation and film, to create a blockbuster franchise."
So after you finishing playing Devil's Third on your console, play it on your smartphone and then watch the anime that was based on the manga that's being turned into a feature film.

SMOKE is a introspective wrapper around the Qt and KDE frameworks.
The legend says it stands for Scripting Meta Object Kompiler Engine
Not only does it provide wrappers for every function in every class, but it also contains meta-information allowing queries of what functions are available and their arguments and return-types.
All classes, all methods, with all arguments, along with various flags reflecting staticness, virtuality, etc. are stored into cross-referencing arrays for fast lookups. One can thus read (and call) the whole Qt API by simply reading/searching these arrays.
The main purpose of SMOKE is to make it possible to write bindings from scripting languages to Qt and KDE - with an emphasis on ease of use and flexibility.
You can find out more about SMOKE by checking out the kdebindings module of KDE's SVN.
At the time of writing, both the Perl bindings and Ruby bindings are known to use it, you might find valuable usage information there.

With barely enough time at our hands to complete the games we craft, how can you strike a good balance between solid software architecture and making good progress to get it all done?
My personal challenge: How about being effective today and long-term thinking at the same time? Plus, while you're doing it you may just as well want to learn new things on the way instead of resorting to the same repetitive patterns you've been using those past 5 years?

Lyricist Tim Rice looks back and forward this year
NEW YORK (AP) -- This spring, Tim Rice will have written the lyrics to three shows on Broadway.
Ho, hum.
After all, not too long ago, he had four musicals playing simultaneously.
"This is just three. Times are tough," says Rice, keeping a straight face.
At 67, Rice is enjoying something of a minirevival. His "Evita" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" are being revived at the same time on Broadway -- joining his unstoppable "The Lion King" -- and he's readying his first new work -- a musical adaptation of the novel "From Here to Eternity" -- in over a decade.
How is it writing lyrics again after all these years?
"I'd forgotten that I was good at it," he says with a broad smile.
Other people haven't forgotten: Rice has earned Grammy, Tony and Academy awards for penning the words to a string of hits alongside some of the world's greatest composers, including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elton John and Alan Menken.
"So much of his personality comes through in his lyrics," says Menken, who worked with Rice on "Beauty and the Beast" and "King David." ''He's so funny and so social and so warm and generous. I really love Tim Rice very much."
Though he is modest and gracious, there is some vindication to having two of his earliest works return again to Broadway -- "Evita" from London and "Jesus Christ Superstar" from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Canada via the La Jolla Playhouse in California.
"Obviously, I'm very grateful that 'Superstar' and 'Evita,' in particular, have stood the test of time," he says. "In a funny way, neither of them were total successes the first time around."
After finding success with "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" in London more than four decades ago, he and Lloyd Webber then tackled the then-odd concept of a rock opera about Christ but couldn't find anyone willing to produce it. The duo persuaded friends to record the songs and the album took off, which then triggered a stage production. But it had some technical problems, competition from "Godspell" and only ran about 18 months on Broadway, closing in 1973.
"It was kind of ahead of its time," Rice says.
By the end of the decade, the duo was back with "Evita," the story of Eva Peron. Rice wrote the lyrics and book, having been inspired by a radio show about the Argentine leader he listened to while he was in his car. It was a bigger success on Broadway but opened to pretty awful reviews.
"So I'm quite glad to have a second crack," Rice says.
This will be Broadway's third revival of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and the first revival of "Evita," but productions of both -- with the anthems "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" and "What's the Buzz" -- are theater staples.
"Neither show has really ever gone away. They've both been done all around the world ever since, which is very flattering. They're both good shows. They both work," he says.
"Forty years on, I can almost stand back -- certainly from 'Superstar' 40 years ago -- and say, 'Well, actually, it's not bad.' We didn't know what we were doing at the time. You always do best when you don't quite know what you're doing and you don't know what the rules are."
Rice and Lloyd Webber eventually parted ways -- the composer went on to write "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Cats" -- and the two occasionally pop up in English newspapers sniping at each other, most recently over Webber's fondness for TV talent searches to find stars for revivals of his shows.
"We've always kept in touch. We had a few ups and downs. It's fine," says Rice. "But I'm sure if Andrew and I did something together again, it wouldn't be as good as 'Superstar' or 'Evita.' I think it would be probably done for the wrong reasons."
Rice, who has been busy in England as a bigwig in the cricket world, visits New York three or four times a year and catches many Broadway shows. While he didn't care too much for "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," he loved "The Book of Mormon" and cheered Daniel Radcliffe in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." He bemoans the lack of a great new British musical.
"The trouble I find with British musicals these days is that most of the shows are written by old codgers -- people like me," he says. "I just wonder sometimes where the next generation of musicals will come from. It'll probably come out of left field. It won't be something that will be predicted."
Left field is where Rice and Lloyd Webber came from and their strange paths to the stage -- concept album before full production -- has offered would-be writers inspiration. "It was unexpected and we were unaccepted by the establishment for quite a long time," he says. "Every time we got forced into a corner, it turned out to be rather a good corner."
Those fertile late-1960s and '70s, when he and Lloyd Webber were writing "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," ''Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita," remain one of his most productive times.
"There are two graphs in one's life. There's the graph of experience, which starts at zero and goes to 100. And there's the graph of enthusiasm and inspiration that starts at 100 and goes down to zero. When they cross, you're at your top -- you've still got a bit of inspiration left and a bit of experience," Rice says.
"I think with 'Evita,' we had that. I'm not saying that therefore 'Evita' is a better piece than 'Superstar.' I wouldn't like to genuinely say one was better than the other."
Rice went on to co-write more hits -- "The Lion King" and "Aida" with John -- and a few misses -- "Chess" with members of ABBA and the musical "Blondel" -- had three children, owns his own cricket team and got a knighthood.
He has lately contributed songs to films or special events like Queen Elizabeth II's 60th birthday celebration, and he has done a few collaborations -- he and Lloyd Webber wrote a new song for the movie "Evita" with Madonna -- but a full-length musical wasn't "anything I felt I desperately had to do."
He was helping young composer Stuart Brayson on a musical adaptation of the James Jones' novel "From Here to Eternity" -- most famous for its scene of Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster kissing on a beach -- when he realized he'd have to take over all lyric writing duties. The musical now has 18 songs, a bright young director in Tamara Harvey and a book writer in Bill Oakes, an old friend of Rice.
"It's a combination of youth and experience. Or, if you'd like to put it another way, old age and inexperience," says Rice, who hopes it will be on a stage in London within a year. "I've written a few songs here and there but it's quite nice to get back to doing one properly."

KC group eyes possible bid for 2016 GOP National Convention
Effort would involve sites on both sides of Kansas-Missouri state line
An effort is under way to try to bring the 2016 Republican National Convention to the Kansas City area.
The group organizing the effort said it has been working for a while and wants the bid to be a bi-state effort.
"2016 is on a lot of people's minds," said Rick Hughes of the Kansas City Convention and Visitors Association. "So they're taking a look at it."
The Republicans are looking for a city with 15,000 convention hotel rooms. The city said Kansas City has more than 26,000.
A major obstacle is that the host committee would have to raise about $50 million in private donations.
"That money doesn't have to come from the local community. Some of that money is raised nationally to do those things," Hughes said.
"It's real money. Just for the bid it's $400,000," said political consultant Jeff Roe.
Local organizer Kathy Nugent declined an interview but said she envisions most of the convention taking place at Sprint Center, but also using the Overland Park Convention Center, Sporting Park and Arrowhead Stadium for other convention activities.
The potential competitors include Charlotte, which hosted the Democrats last year, Columbus, Ohio, in a presidential battleground state and Phoenix.
"Frankly, we're better than some others," said Roe. "Who wants to be in Phoenix in August? I don't think that's part of the mix."
The bidding starts in March and the GOP may make a decision on where to hold the convention by the end of the year.
The 2016 convention would mark the 40th anniversary of the 1976 Republican National Convention at Kemper Arena, one where Ronald Reagan nearly took the nomination away from President Gerald Ford.
Last year's Republican Convention in Tampa, Fla., attracted about 30,000 delegates, guests and reporters.

This is Mars: War Logs, a game I had no idea was coming, but evidently was announced back in December. The fact this is a console downloadable (both XBLA and PSN, it'll also be available on PC) is intriguing to me because this trailer is promising a lot of stuff normally associated with boxed goods.
Some folks look on this as Rage meets Mass Effect, given the third-person perspective. I think the melee combat and countering calls up a little Assassin's Creed. Setting, of course invites Red Faction to the discussion. There's a perk/skill tree to give the game its RPG cred, too.
Mars: War Logs will come out some time this spring. Color me interested. The trailer doesn't say how long of a story you'll be given, but it does push what's commonly expected of console downloads. The game is by Spiders, published by Focus Home Interactive.

Seamless management of hybrid networks
As network functions are virtualized for 5G physical and virtualized network elements will coexist for some time to come. Are you prepared for managing hybrid networks in a cost-effective and efficient way and deploy new services?
Managing SDN/NFV environments
Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are transforming networks and are a key enabler for 5G. However, legacy networks are likely to run in parallel for a while until the virtualized consolidation has been completed. So, CSPs need to adapt their operations to manage hybrid networks.
Ericsson is an early adaptor of SDN/NFV. We have adapted our managed services early on to manage and operate hybrid and / or SDN/NFV environments in a seamless manner.
As SDN/NFV services partner we understand the challenges CSPs may face transitioning to a digital environment. We have set up labs for our customers to test their use cases in a customizable SDN/NFV operational environment.
It's all about supporting CSPs to create the best user experience on the road to 5G.
Automation and AI
An SDN and NFV environment consists of a stack of complex components, including Service Layer, Virtualized Network Functions Layer, Cloud Layer, Infrastructure Layer.
Dynamic services put a lot of pressure on Operations. SDN & NFV Operations have to be highly automated for Root Cause Analysis, Preventive Maintenance, Preventive Assurance and Incident Resolution. Ericsson Managed Services' automated SDN & NFV Operations framework is built on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), Complex Event Correlation and Closed-Loop Automation.
AI and ML are critical components for Root Cause Analysis and Predictive Assurance. Whereas AI helps the SDN & NFV assurance team to pin point the exact Root Cause in a complex environment, ML facilitates Predictive Assurance by using machine learning algorithms like Reinforcement Learning.
Alarms from the SDN & NFV layers are aggregated and correlated using MS IT's complex correlation system. A human-guided, Closed-Loop Automation engine reads the alarms, analyzes them and executes the resolution procedures in the SDN & NFV environment.
Trial your digital use cases in a safe environment
Ericsson has opened Managed Services Innovation labs in Germany and Italy and is setting one up in the USA. The purpose of the labs is to facilitate faster innovation and creation of services with our customers.
The labs offer a customizable test environment to support communication service providers (CSPs) in the formulation and execution of their digital strategies. The labs allow CSPs to trial and hone their use cases in telco / hybrid cloud environment which reflects the real-world.

Democratic Congressman Phil Hare, who caused outrage earlier this year when he told constituents who asked him about the legality of the health care bill, "I don't worry about the constitution," has sparked fresh consternation after he was caught on camera in an Illinois hotel labeling the founding document of America "silly stuff".
Video confrontations with arrogant and dismissive Congress members uploaded to You Tube have come to represent the angst of the Tea Party movement, as elected representatives betray disdain and sometimes even open hostility to the rule of law that they are supposed to uphold on behalf of their constituents.
The latest example was provided by Illinois Congressman Phil Hare, who was asked on camera about his previous response to a question about Obamacare during a meeting with constituents, in which he told the audience "I don't worry about the Constitution on this to be honest."
The new clip shows a citizen asking Hare, "Where in the constitution does it say that you can force people to buy health care?" to which Hare responds, "Oh boy, we're not going there again are we?"
Watch the clip below.
"I think it's a legitimate question," states the constituent, as Hare ignores him and talks to other citizens.
However, Hare is soon confronted again as another man asks him, "How come you're a member of the Socialist Party?" Hare denies the charge, despite the fact that his name appears on a list of Democrats who are in the ranks of the Socialist Party of America, which was released by the Socialist Party itself last year.
Hare's entourage then try to get in the face of the original questioner, before demanding he identify himself.
Hare continues to refuse to answer the question about the constitutionality of the health care bill, dismissing it as "silly stuff".
Phil Hare has been constantly harassed and harangued by citizens for his support of Obamacare and other issues. Back in June, a clip was released showing Hare being confronted by residents who accuse him of being a draft-dodger. Hare embarrassingly attempts to joke with the people filming him, asking "which side is my best?" before being pulled away by a member of his entourage.
Watch the clip below.
Hare embarrassed himself during the aforementioned confrontation back in April when he was corrected after claiming that language concerning the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness appeared within the Constitution , when in fact it appears in the Declaration of Independence.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
"Doesn't matter to me," Hare responded. "Either one."
Hare was then quizzed "Where in the Constitution does it give you the authority…?"
"I don't know." Hare angrily interrupted, refusing to allow the constituent to even finish the question.
The attitude of Hare and his colleagues on Capitol Hill towards their constituents and their open disdain towards the Constitution is one of the primary reasons why Tea Party members are having so much success in ousting establishment candidates.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
After October, Hare won't have to worry about what's contained in the Constitution, nor will he have to be concerned about reading bills that are thousands of pages in length, because he will be kicked out of office. Polls show Hare trailing his opponent by a healthy and growing margin as his snobbish and arrogant behavior comes back to bite him where it hurts.

Just that most airlines require a minimum of 1000 hours
The best deal is staying A class reserve and flying full time for Air Canada Max
If you're looking for an airline job after you complete your mandatory service - be prepared to slash your lifestyle. Most airlines have a starting salary that may make you baulk. Rumour has it lots of reg force pilots are turning down Air Canada because they don't feel like making half their current pay for the first year.
The best deal is staying A class reserve and flying full time for Air Canada
J_Muir - OJT choices are varied and really up to you as the OJTer. What city do you live in? Do you want to stay at home? Are your married? If you want to fly Hornets, you can get an OJT at an operational fighter squadron. You will be La Reine du Photocopier - but at least you will be able to fly in a Bravo.
Do you get to jump from one OJT to another in a different location or are you stuck with the same one from day one until you get your wings?
Calgary, experiencing dramatic growth, an economic and business powerhouse within Canada now and for the future. Alberta finally gaining the political power it has sought since it's inception. A smart young man native to the province, graduating with a university education into this hotbed of capitalism and opportunity. But he chooses to move away from all these possibilities and opportunity, choosing a career path followed by less that one percent of Canadians. Canada's military during the Cold War presented little chance to be killed or to kill others. Now we see 23 Canadian deaths and counting in a cause while admireable may not be achievable through military means.Canadians are now realizing that the purpose of a military force is to "break things and kill people."I am retired after a 27 year career and support our troops and feel the loss each time we experience another death.Many people enter the military seeking an education or career training. To enter with a university education and the potential of a life with a job, a family and a career, not so common.I wish you nothing but the best Mr. Muir but consider your choices carefully.
* When I say 'people like me', I dont mean to sound arrogant. I think that people who join the military with a degree from a civy university are more likely to be highly motivated than someone who went through RMC and has a contract to honour. I'm only speculating here, but in general, I think that's maybe how it is.
As a DEO, I call BS. I'm highly motivated not because I got my degree on my own. I'm highly motivated because I love what I'm here for, and I motivate myself accordingly. We have a pile of RMC kids going through the ropes here right now, and they are no differently motivated than those of us who got our civvie degrees first. You will see people trying to buck the system on both ends. You will find good and bad sailors and soldiers regardless of their entry program. Do not come in with any sort of preconceived opinions about DEO vs RMC vs CFR's, it will be more harmful than helpful.Know why YOU want to be here, and worry about YOU. The military will tell you when it's time to start worrying about others, and believe me, it'll be a while.T
After passing ACS, how long until a person begins Officer training, SLT and Primary flight training?
It all depends on when the next Pilot Selection board is sitting. They only sit once or twice a year AFAIK.Don't expect a summer BOTC - most likely start dates will be Sept or Jan.September BOTC start timeline would be as such.Basic Training (IAP, BOTP, whatever it is called this week) - Sept - DecSecond Language Training (if the AF decides to send you) Jan - AugAir Force OPME residential program - Sept - Oct (if PFT not on the horizon)Primary Flight Training - Oct - Dec (if loaded immediately).
They never asked me for a copy of my degree, only for my university transcript. Right now mine says that my program has been completed but that my degree has yet to be conferred and that seems to be enough for them, so it's doubtful that you'd have to wait for your convocation.As far as timelines go, if you're going to finish your degree in april 08 (you said 2 years left right?) and want to do botc in september, then I'd start the application process by late 07. Here's roughly the timeline I've been through leading up to botc this september.Sep 05 Submitted applicationNov 05 MedicalDec 05 Optometrist examFeb 06 ACSApr 06 Interview/fitness testJune 06 Board sitsJuly 06 Job offerAug 06 Swearing in ceremonySep 06 BOTCThe order's a little different for me than it will be for you. Because I was a transfer I didn't have to do my interview and fitness until after acs, you'll have to do it before. You'll also have to write an aptitude test early on in the process. Generally the two steps that put a halt to most people are the optometrist's exam and ACS. Not much you can do about the first, but for getting through ACS there are a couple of good threads out there. Your recruiting centre should also give you a study guide when the time comes.

This week we look at some mostly bullish analysis from my friends at GaveKal for the Outside the Box. Much of the letter is devoted to looking at why Europe may fare better than many think (which will make uber-European bull David Kotok happy to read!). But be very sure to read the last page as Steve Vannelli analyzes the latest speculation about the Fed and quantitative easing. All those calling for QE2 may not actually do what they think it will. His conclusion?
"Once again, if there is no growth in broad money, no increase in velocity and no increase in Fed credit (hybrid money), then the only source to finance growth in the real economy will remain the sale of risky assets. When confidence seems to be stuck in a low plateau and talk of reigning in fiscal deficits is growing louder, a policy of undermining the value of risky assets couldn't be more counterproductive to growth."
I find myself in New York this morning (I once again did Yahoo Tech Ticker) leaving for DC later. Then sadly will have to forego Turks and Caicos, but that does allow for me to go to Baton Rouge for a one day course on the affects of the gulf oil spill on the regional economy, helicopter flyovers, etc. I will report back in this week's letter what I learn.
Have a great week.
Your wishing he was still fishing in Maine analyst,

BOSTON (AP) Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points and won his rematch with Kevin Garnett as the New York Knicks ended an 11-game losing streak in Boston with an 89-86 victory over the Celtics on Thursday night.
It came 17 days after a verbal clash between the All-Star forwards led to Anthony's one-game suspension following Boston's 102-96 victory in New York.
Anthony was booed frequently Thursday but there was no sign of hostility with Garnett. At one point, Anthony even extended his hand to a fallen Garnett and helped the Celtic to his feet.
Rajon Rondo led the Celtics with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. Garnett had only eight points but finished with a game-high 12 rebounds.
PHOENIX (AP) - Goran Dragic scored 19 of his 24 points in the first half and Phoenix held on to beat Los Angeles, improving to 2-0 under interim coach Lindsey Hunter.
Marcin Gortat added 15 points, including two free throws with 23.3 seconds left. Luis Scola and Markieff Morris had 14 apiece for the Suns, who had not won two in a row since a season-high, four-game winning streak ended on Dec. 19. Dragic also had eight assists.
The Clippers, who lost their third straight, were without Chris Paul for the fifth time in seven games because of a bruised right kneecap. The team is 3-2 without him.
Jamal Crawford led Los Angeles with 21 points. Eric Bledsoe scored 15 and Blake Griffin 12.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - DeMar DeRozan swished a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer as Toronto fought off a late-game charge by Orlando.
DeRozan led Toronto with 22 points, followed by Amir Johnson with 21 points and 10 rebounds. It was Johnson's sixth double-double of the season.
The victory gave the Raptors a four-game season sweep of Magic, who dropped their fourth game in a row.
Nikola Vucevic led Orlando with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Arron Afflalo added 16 points and Glen Davis had 15.
The Magic have lost 15 of their last 17 overall.

Alexis Tsipras of the far-left Syriza party in Greece has given leaders of other parties an ultimatum: reject the bailout and its tough conditions, or be shut out of the government. In France, the party of outgoing President Nicolas Sarkozy is trying to hold together before parliamentary elections, lest it shatter and hand a complete victory to the Socialists. And in Ireland, those opposed to grinding austerity measures see opportunity to renegotiate for an easier time.
Bloomberg reported Wednesday that Tsipras told the leaders of the two major parties—Antonis Samaras of the conservative New Democracy party and Evangelos Venizelos, the former finance minister and head of the socialist Pasok party—that if they want to be included in a government alliance, they must revoke written pledges to put austerity measures in place. Further, they were to do so in a letter to the European Union, and it was to be done before a planned meeting at 5 p.m.
Both Samaras and Venizelos refused, with Samaras saying in the report that he was being asked "to put my signature to the destruction of Greece."
"He interprets, with unbelievable arrogance, the election result as a mandate to drag the country into chaos," Samaras was quoted saying. "I hope Mr. Tsipras will have come to his senses by the time we meet."
Samaras, whose party won the most seats in Parliament, has already failed to put together a coalition to govern Greece. Should the second-place Syriza party fail as well, the chance to form a coalition will pass to Venizelos, who, according to an anonymously sourced Greek news report cited by Bloomberg, has already said he would reject a mandate to do so.
The task would then pass to Greece's president. Should that fail, new elections would be held. In the meantime, uncertainty over the outcome could send Greece into a financial tailspin—right out of the euro zone.
A mid-May visit by the so-called troika, the group made up of E.U., International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central Bank (ECB) officials in charge of overseeing the bailout, was canceled, according to a German newspaper report. Amadeu Altafaj, European Commission (EC) spokesman, recast that, saying in a statement, "The mission has not been 'canceled,' as there has never been a fixed date for the mission. As soon as there is a government, there will be a mission."
Meanwhile, in France, Sarkozy's Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) party was struggling to hold off on internal disputes that threaten its very survival. If UMP fails to keep a lid on inner controversies for another six weeks, it will likely—as, indeed, polls already predict—lose any chance at preventing Francois Hollande's Socialist party from taking control in Parliament. UMP members are sharply divided over whether to make deals with Marine Le Pen's anti-immigration, anti-euro National Front party, which was founded by Le Pen's father, a Holocaust denier. Sarkozy's pre-election ideological turn to the right was seen by many as one reason he came out the loser in the presidential election, although Le Pen's party captured a substantial portion of the vote.
A Socialist-majority Parliament would make Hollande's program more likely to be enacted. It includes higher taxes, provisions for a 75% tax on incomes above 1 million euros ($1.3 million), returning the retirement age to 60 from 62 and higher spending.
In Ireland, in advance of a referendum to be held on Europe's fiscal treaty on May 31, the opposition sees a ray of hope in the election outcomes that punished austerity measures and turned instead toward growth.
Eoin Fahy, an economist at Kleinwort Benson Investors in Dublin, was quoted saying that the results in Greek and French elections "allow the treaty's opponents to argue the tide is going out on austerity." He added, "The results are damaging for the 'yes' camp. Just how damaging remains to be seen."
Mary Lou McDonald, deputy leader of Sinn Fein, the largest party opposing the treaty, was quoted saying Monday, "The people of France, the people of Greece are against the policies of austerity and it is now a moment for Ireland to add our voice to that. The best way we can do that is by delivering a resounding 'no' vote."
Hollande has said that he wants to amend the fiscal treaty to add growth measures and to oppose European policy based solely on austerity measures. He has also said he wants to renegotiate the E.U.'s fiscal accord to provide for issuance of joint euro bonds and to fund growth and industry measures.
Ireland's people see his election, and the Greek voter rejection of austerity, as a window of opportunity to win concessions to lessen their own burden; however, the Irish government will find it awkward should Hollande persevere in changing a treaty it has pushed its citizens to accept in the upcoming referendum.
Paul Murphy, a Socialist member of the European Parliament who is campaigning against the treaty, said in the report, "We have a unique opportunity to deal another strong blow to the austerity agenda that works only for the bondholders and rich. We can add to the momentum against this treaty and potentially sink it."

The BTR-70 is an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier (Russian: áðîíåòðàíñïîðòåð, BTR stands for Bronetransportyor literally "armoured transporter"), originally developed during the late 1960s under the industrial designator GAZ-4905. On August 21, 1972, it was accepted into service and would later be exported to the Warsaw Pact and other allies. Introduced as a successor to the earlier BTR-60, it most closely resembles a BTR-60PB. Other improvements include heavier armor plating and tires less prone to puncture. In other respects, the vehicle is very similar to the BTR-60PB, with a more powerful petrol engine configuration and armament of a primary heavy machine gun and secondary PKT machine gun on a roof mounted turret.
The vehicle's designers moved the side troop doors. On the vehicle's predecessor, these doors were located above the beltline between the second and third pairs of wheels on both sides of the vehicle. On the BTR-70, the doors are below the beltline between the second and third pairs of wheels. As Soviet tactics calls for unloading troops from the vehicle while it is in motion, the door location increases the chances that a soldier will be pulled under a wheel and injured or killed, although it also means that the troops can get out quicker while exposing them less to the enemy.

Lead Effective Meeting
Demonstrate the guidelines for leading an effective meeting to build cooperation and trust
Hva du vil lære
This course covers the human relations skills essential for building cooperation and positive results in meetings as well as the three components of an effective meeting leadership strategy: pre-meeting planning, managing the meeting, and post-meeting follow-up.
Hvorfor du bør lære det
In a survey conducted by TNS Express for Genesys Conferencing, it was no surprise to find that many people bemoan meetings. In fact, 54% of those surveyed would rather mow the lawn than sit in a boring or unproductive meeting! 41% would rather wash the kitchen floor, 26% would prefer to research car insurance rates, 25% chose going to the dentist over sitting in a meeting, and 23% would rather read the phone book. What does this tell us about meetings? The fact is, however, that meetings are here to stay. They are a part of the corporate and organizational culture and when conducted and led effectively, can have a huge positive effect on an organization. Regardless of the complexity of the meeting, proper planning is essential to strengthen, shorten, enhance, and maybe even eliminate some meetings.
Hvordan det vil hjelpe deg
At the completion of this module, you will be able to: Generate participation in meetings by applying human relations principles / Discover ways to build cooperation and positive results in meetings / Consider guidelines for meeting effectiveness before, during, and after

Backgrounds of candidates to replace Fitzgerald
The White House is considering four candidates for the U.S. attorney's job in Chicago to replace for Patrick Fitzgerald, who left to enter private practice. They are:
- Lori Lightfoot would be the first African-American and first woman to hold the job. A partner at the Chicago law office of Mayer Brown, she headed the Chicago Police Department's Office of Professional Standards between 2002 and 2005. From 1996 to 2002, she worked as an assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago. She recently represented Illinois Republicans in their failed challenge of a new congressional map drawn by Democrats.
- Zachary Fardon is a partner at the Chicago law firm Latham Watkins. As a federal prosecutor in Chicago, Fardon helped prosecute former Republican Gov. George Ryan in 2006. In 1999, he took a lead role in convicting a Puerto Rican independence activist for planting bombs at an Army recruiting station. He has also served in the U.S. attorney's office in Nashville, Tenn.
- Jonathan Bunge is a partner at Chicago's Kirkland Ellis law office. He was a government attorney at the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago 1990 to 1999, where he led the prosecution of a Ford Heights, Ill., chief of police and six other officers on corruption and racketeering charges. Bunge served as a special assistant attorney general in the Illinois attorney general's office from 2005 to 2009, where he helped run a public integrity unit.
-Gil Soffer, a partner at the Chicago' Katten Muchin Rosenman law firm, worked as a prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago from 1994 to 2000. He served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Department of Justice in 2008. Democratic Gov. Patrick Quinn appointed Soffer in 2009 to the Illinois Executive Ethics Commission, formed to promote ethics in the executive branch.

What you need to know before you go
Aruba is one of the most popular of the Caribbean islands, particularly with North Americans looking for some winter sun. It's not hard to see the appeal – white-sand beaches, a compact capital city and azure seas that provide a playground for an impressive range of water sports.
Most of the development of Aruba is around the western and southern coasts, leaving the north and east of the 180-sq-km island largely untouched. Expect to find pristine beaches, caves and nature reserves, which form some of the best attractions on Aruba.

Curb Your Enthusiasm kicked off its latest bout of squirm-inducing hilarity in Hollywood last night, and Larry David and the many cast members who love and love to hate him were out - in clothes we both loved...and hated!
Evan Rachel Wood, of course, was in that god-awful Woody Allen film with M. David. She's doing her usual vampy 35-year-old-dame thing, which, also as usual, looks okay.
Sharon Lawrence , the hardest working woman in television (seriously, she's everywhere) does classic Talbots chic. Which has its place!
Michelle Forbes looks wary and ready for battle. She's a wise woman.
Perrey Reeves' dress would make me feel rather...constricted, but I'm funny about straps wrapped tightly around my throat.
I have the distinct impression that Mary Steenburgen's trousers were designed to be worn with heels. But from the knees up, nice going!
Susie Essman's getups always leave me wondering if she wears her own wardrobe on the show.
Cheryl Hines is, as usual, a bastion of sanity.

Neko! exhibition recently and mentioned the Cats and Lions that was also by the same photographer.
Today I went to have a look. It was interesting how the photos were juxtaposed with similar poses between the animals. If you enjoyed the Neko exhibition or if you're a fan of cats (and/or lions), I think there's much to like here.
It is being held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in Ebisu until October 20th.

Who are they?
Emotionality, sensitivity, intuition, receptivity, charm and sensuality, the eternal feminine in all its glory! Furthermore, Deirbhile and Magdaléna are not devoid of charm or seduction... Although they may appear shallow and fickle, they are in fact idealistic, even utopian, and seek meaning in their lives in order to feel that they fully exist. The search for such meaning could take them in several different directions, through social groups, with a humanist, political, artistic, spiritual or ideological agenda. If they don´t happen to find their niche this way, they could be tempted to live out their ideals through an extravagant and fantastical life spent chasing rainbows, or by seeking refuge in a fool´s paradise. It´s true that they constantly crave new experiences, need to experience strong emotions and could never be satisfied with a routine, mundane existence. Whimsical and bohemian, life seems to only be worth living if it resembles a theatre production, and they are often disappointed when this is not the case, at the mercy of a certain emotional imbalance. Even so, they are much better suited to happiness and an easy life than adversity. Shrewd and of razor sharp intelligence - often tinged with humor - they thoroughly enjoy the verbal sparring matches at which they excel. As children they tend to be emotionally fragile and heavily influenced by other members of their family, eager to please even if this includes self-sacrifice. Inquisitive and into everything, they can also be quite unpredictable. It is highly recommended to encourage these talented young ladies to practice an artistic hobby: singing, music or dance for example, and to give them a taste for a foreign language.
What do they like?
Leprenom2 and Magdaléna are eager to please and like to be in other peoples´ "good books". They aspire to beauty, art and harmony, require a peaceful environment and can´t stand conflict or violence. In their romantic lives, they lack clarity and their expectations are so high that one man would have trouble measuring up! Their enthusiasm can disappear just as quickly as their illusions... Unless of course, they hesitate forever (karmic 6) ... The choice is often a difficult one, if not impossible... On the other hand, they are full of fresh energy and imagination and they would be prepared to do anything for the one they love...

What do they do?
As far as they are concerned, the most important thing in life is love, and the professional sphere can take a back seat - unless they happen to discover their true calling. Occupations that could be suitable include the humanitarian or social fields (medical, paramedical, law, justice and education...), artistic professions, in conjunction with esthetics, occupations focusing on oral or written expression, or contact with the public (presenter, journalist), occupations related to travel and foreign travel, more unusual or marginal occupations (abstract occupations, night clubs and bars, night or seasonal work...).

This one is mine. Did you ever see your own chromosomes? It freaks me out a little - these are what I am made of. They're so bizarre - but I'm told that they are completely normal - I've had myriad phone calls saying that they've passed this and that and the other thing. 100% NORMAL - at least at the chromosome level.
This is the husband. See the Y chromosome? I don't even know how they think some of these match, it's so bizarre.
What freaks me out, based on some of the things we've learned, is that they can see autism (sometimes or all the time I'm not sure) as a microscopic chromosome error. They don't know how it's caused........but they can see it.
What then gives me pause is that if they can see it - then in the future they can make decisions to eliminate it. And you know what I mean.
I'm very pro choice - but based on the papers I signed which allow them to keep my chromosomes and DNA on file at Columbia......I just felt the way the wind was blowing. Genetic Selection will become a reality. I just participated in the process. I did it for selfish reasons - because I wanted to hear that my baby girl was ok. And it will be invaluable in detecting disease and other problems so you can be prepared at birth.
I'm not going to worry about a future I can't change, and I'm really glad for all the good it will do. I'm just sad that someone someday might make a choice that would deny them curly headed boys who give kisses and love the Teletubbies.
Because sometimes you don't know that you would want something until you are faced with it. And then you know you'd rather have that, than nothing at all.

Memories of Strange Fruit
"The past isn't dead. It isn't even past." - Faulkner
Images of the racial lynching in U.S. history are directly connected with those circulated from Abu Ghraib prison in Susan Donaldson's courses on Southern literature and culture at the College of William and Mary. The latter represent "disturbing echoes" of the former that her students find "unnerving," Donaldson said.
Donaldson, the NEH Professor of English and American Studies at the College of William and Mary, served as co-editor with Amy Wood (Illinois State University) of a special issue of the Mississippi Quarterly devoted to lynching's place in American culture. The issue joins the emerging scholarship on this once-hidden American phenomenon by probing it in terms of memory-making. In that sense, the lynching photographs and the interrogation photographs find their parallel.
Donaldson credits publication of James Allen's Without Sanctuary (2000), a work featuring photographs and postcards of victims of lynching, with catapulting scholarship forward. "Lynching photographs were taken by the perpetrators of the spectacle and, quite often, mailed around the country," Donaldson said. "In many respects, those photographs pictured not just lynching victims but the mobs, who looked directly at the camera as if to underscore not only their complicity with the event but their sense of bonding with the audiences of those photographs."
The Abu Ghraib photographs were treated the same way, said Donaldson. Synthesizing an argument made by Katherine Henninger (Louisiana State University) in the journal, Donaldson explained, "they were circulated on the Internet and connected to this whole notion of establishing a boundary line between Americans, on the one hand, and Iraqis, on the other."
Coming to meaning
Between 1888 and 1945, nearly 4,000 men, women and children were victims, according to estimates contained in the journal. Although there were exceptions, lynching was an act predominantly committed in Southern states by white men against black victims. It was a vehicle for reinforcing "white supremacy" and "bonds of whiteness," Donaldson explained. In the special issue of the Mississippi Quarterly, Donaldson and the journal's contributing authors explore the thorny issues involved with attempts to excavate and interrogate the old narratives of lynching after decades of neglect.
The first two essays consider ways in which the violence of lynching held symbolic power for whites and blacks, alike. Donald G. Mathews (UNC-CH) in "The Southern Rite of Human Sacrifice" posits lynching as a "blood sacrifice" in the context of the widespread evangelical theology that assumed the supremacy of the white race. In that sense, lynching represented a cleansing ritual through which "sin" and "impurity" could be expiated from the dominant society, Matthews argues. The second essay, "Out on a Limb: The Spatial Politics of Lynching Photography," examines the dispossession represented by the photographs of lynching published in Without Sanctuary in 2000.
Subsequent essays deal with attempts by artists and activists to challenge some of the conventional understanding of lynching as a phenomenon of the Reconstruction-era South, directed against men. Julie Armstrong (USF) considers Mary Turner, a pregnant lynching victim in Georgia in 1918. "Because it disrupted the conventional lynching narrative, artists and writers found it particularly difficult to shape and make meaning from her story … that lay beyond language, beyond sense," the editors wrote. Christopher Metress (Samford University) looks at Rod Serling's attempts to represent the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till on his television show The Twilight Zone. Till was murdered after being accused of whistling at a white woman in Mississippi. According to the editors, Serling's treatment was censored, stymied "at every turn" by executives and sponsors who feared that Southern audiences would be alienated. In another essay, Dora Apel (Wayne State University) addresses the experience of citizens in Duluth, Minnesota, who commissioned the nation's first lynching memorial, a Memorial Wall in remembrance of three African American men who were hanged in the center of the city in 1920. In order to meet objectives of being a public voice for African American citizens and creating a narrative that white citizens could embrace, the memorial had to present victims in "heroic proportions" while "eclipsing lynching's horrifying context of white supremacy and black subjugation," the editors contend.
Of particular interest to Donaldson is an essay submitted by Edwin Arnold (Appalachian State University). It addresses the 1899 lynching of Sam Hose in Newnan, Georgia. The event generated contradictory accounts by local white newspapers, by a white New York newspaper and by an investigator hired by black activists. Arnold's essay deals with attempts within the community to resolve the conflicting narrative today.
"The Sam Hose lynching haunts Newnan until this day, as well as my own hometown, Griffin, which is about 25 miles away," Donaldson said. "It was in Griffin that Sam Hose was taken off a train by a mob and taken over to Newnan, where he was lynched in a spectacularly public and gruesome manner." Donaldson's great-grandfather was a sheriff in Griffin during the early years of the 20th Century. "He might well have been a spectator," she added.
Resisting the redemptive narrative
As a scholar whose interest is in the politics of storytelling, Donaldson has several concerns involving what she refers to as the "politics of interpreting atrocities of the past." One of them involves what she called the time-lag problem.
"Because of the way we construct memory as a society, we sometimes tend to ignore the fact that those memories can be constructed by certain pools of forgetting," Donaldson said, alluding to the case of Mary Turner. "It has to leave out certain stories that might contradict just what the memory represents."
Donaldson also recognizes the potential social consequences that are involved in storytelling, including those based on research currently being advanced by trauma theorists. "Scholars have argued that certain events and violence are so disruptive, so painful, so wounding that they cannot be assimilated into either personal or cultural narratives, and that they emerge in other forms. They may emerge in flashbacks, in violence, in forms of hysteria," she said.
Perhaps chief among Donaldson's concerns is the ethical danger of generating what she calls "redemptive narratives." Often, attempts to reconcile violence fail to recognize its extent and impact, she suggested.
"It is all too easy to try to slip these events of violence into narratives that suggest reconciliation or closure or redemption through the suffering of others," she said. "There is that danger of being complicit in the violence wreaked upon lynching victims by objectifying them, by distancing ourselves, of refusing to acknowledge our complicity simply through the act of looking."
As a participant in the storytelling, Donaldson balances the conflicting objectives both in her scholarship and in her classrooms, where students arrive with little knowledge of the roles lynching played in the American past.
"What happens if you pay too much attention to the perpetrators, to the white mobs?" she asks. "Does that become a way of silencing the victims? Does that become a way of representing the victims as merely passive? Does it ignore their resistance? Does it ignore their subjectivity? Does it become a way of reinforcing the dehumanization that these rituals were designed to impose?"
She said some of the questions can be applied to events of our own time, such as Clarence Thomas' reference to his confirmation hearings before the U.S. Senate as a "high-tech lynching," or to TIME magazine's deliberate darkening of O.J. Simpson's mug shot on its cover. Her concern extends through the Abu Ghraib photographs and into discussion involving America's supposed entry into a "post-racial" society.
Race remains an issue that is uncomfortable to many Americans, Donaldson said. Although advocates of America's post-racial status point to the election of President Barack Obama as evidence, she remains skeptical.
"Here again, that tends to be a form of resolution," Donaldson said. "It becomes a form of redemption that may be more illusion than a confrontation with the uglier reality of how these issues, how these definitions of race continue to define how we act collectively."

Director Robert Rodriguez pulled no punches when he said he wanted star power, in the form of Michelle Williams and Mel Gibson, for his sequel, Machete Kills. It looks like half of that wish is about to come true. Gibson is reportedly in serious negotiations to join the Machete sequel in a supporting role. The original starred Danny Trejo in the title role as a former Mexican Federale, but it also featured a number of co-stars that diluted Trejo's presence on screen, notably Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal and Lindsay Lohan. This time around, the cast may be smaller since Rodriguez is juggling director duty between Machete Kills and Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For. Hit the jump for more, including commentary from Rodriguez regarding his schedule and where his directing loyalties lie.
Deadline reports that Gibson will take the role in Machete Kills as he prepares to release his film, Get the Gringo initially on DirecTV before it is available VOD and on DVD later this year. While Gibson is set, Rodriguez's status was up in the air, as far as his time spent directing Machete Kills was concerned. In an interview with Heat Vision, Rodriguez said the following:
"Currently I am directing it, but we're checking to see if there's going to be the need for another director if I have to go off and do Sin City. I wasn't sure what the timing on Sin City was or if I would have to step off to do Sin City at a certain point, depending on when Machete went. But Machete looks like it's going to go pretty quickly so it's possible that I will direct the whole thing. There's so much of it that I want to direct I'll probably end up directing the whole thing. But if I have to step off, I'm going to try and shoot all of the actors and all of the main sequences. But it's such a fun movie, and it just came out even more fun than I could have imagined. I feel like I really need to do it. It's so subjective I feel like I really need to get in there and do it. It's just a lot of fun; it's a really cool concept, and I think it takes it to another level in a way that's compelling for me to go and do it myself."
The sequel, Machete Kills, features the return of Trejo as the title character, who is recruited by the U.S. Government and tasked with tracking an arms dealer through Mexico before he can launch a rocket attack.
