Bobby Kotick Wants to Take the Fun Out of Making Games
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT
*In best Mama Boucher impersonation* That man is da Devil.
Thing is, though, taking the fun out of making video games leaves little enthusiasm with the dev teams, meaning that you'll get lackluster products (Guitar Hero) and can "enjoy" declining sales.
I imagine that in his free time he puts on a black cape and fires puppies out of a cannon while laughing maniacally.
Honestly though, even if he does mean it, doesn't it strike him as bad form to go around shouting out stupidity like this? Not the best way to endear yourself to the people paying for your products.
argh! Truly he is one of the generation of executives who grew up worshiping Gordon Gekko
I thought he wanted to make movies....
That man honestly looks like a palette-swapped Joker. Just dye his hair green, drain the color from his skin, and put him in a purple suit, and they look identical... I think Bobby Kotick is the Joker in disguise as part of a plot to... be an asshole, or something. Batman will save us!
Ok, thats it, I am now officially boycotting activation titles. This includes any titles from the blizzard half too.
You mean he has a lot of blisters? :P
I honestly can't imagine how Bobby Kotick went from not being that notable to one of the most hated figures in the game industry. As some have said above, though, no publicity is bad publicity. Maybe he's rich enough that he doesn't give a frak what the popular opinion is, so long as he can draw enough attention to himself, and his company. Who knows, honestly?
That's possibly the most punchable face I have ever seen, apparently he made sure to get an appropriate personality to go along with it.
On the one hand, I can sort of see where the man is coming from, given the context of his quote. Especially in a recession, if you don't develop games with the idea that "hey, we're a business" in the back of your mind, you won't be around to develop much longer. Look at Ion Storm for the perfect example of what Kotick wants to avoid - a "rock star" group of developers that putzed around all day and just had fun, but then fell apart at the seams.
So in all fairness, that's probably close to what he had in mind. But ALL fun? If people don't like what they do, then they won't do it for very long. Yes, there needs to be a focus on the business side of things too rather than just the creative, but to take all enjoyment out of the process seems foolhardy. But then again, they're raking in money hand over fist.
That face, that smile, together with those truly horrible comments. What monster is this, it's truly evil incarnate. Evil of the vile, dirty and slimy kind, not the awesome kind I want to share maniacal laughs with.
Yes it works for their pockets, not us gamers.
Hey, Bobby, we already know what an stupid ass idiot you are. You can shut up now.
Prototype was a great game, and I very much enjoyed it. It somewhat saddens me that it will be the last Activision game I buy.
What is all this pretentious high-business bullshit anyway? In the end if you truly believe in it, everybody moves over to that model and you're back to square 1 except the quality of the product and the happiness of the workers are greatly reduced. There's no point in doing this.
Viva la VALVe.
Heh, you know what I meant. :D
You mean you've never heard the word calloused used to describe one's attitude towards others?
Just makes no sense. Well it does.. but then not.
I agree with these two gentlemen. It'll only make matters worse at Activision, in the long run. Why?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrkrvAUbU9Y This explains better than I ever could. It's a speech about the science of motivation; Something this Kotik whoreson seems to know nothing about.
Only a moron would use "Sharper sticks and sweeter carrots" as a viable strategy for long-term growth in a creative medium. He is doomed to fail. Without the proper motivators, the product is gonna suck. If your product sucks, additional production value will only help your sales marginally (because no matter what, there's always some moron who goes, "Oooh! Shiny!"...).
I don't think I wanna work for Activision now... Of course, that means that I'm gonna have to screen each studio to which I apply to make sure the Activision tendrils are not there. But, then again, I should have been doing that anyway... I was neutral to them, but reading this has made it a value judgment...
Why so amused? Let's put a frown on that face!
OT: Wow, doesn't he sound like someone that would be fun to work for? /sarcasm
Calloused? He sure as hell doesn't look and sound battered and worn through years of experience in the business. He just looks, well, evil. Really, he does. I can't look at that face (not joking here) without feeling, literally, slightly nauseous. How can someone be like that guy? I just learned that he was the CEO of 4Kids Entertainment, why does that nót come as a surprise? That company was just as vile!
PS: Just found this picture of him:
what a douche, the funny part is no one will end up doing the right thing and voting with their pockets and stop buying activision games
Did anyone expect something else from him? Honestly. He's so obviously EEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIL that it isn't even funny. I think he'll be able to rival Hitler someday.
And oh,yet another reason to hail Valve and praise Insomniac - they don't do or say bullshit like that.
That shit-eating grin on his face says the story.
What, does someone have to paint a twirly mustache on this guy before we get the message that he's evil?
Nothing good comes out when someone says the name "Bobby cockdick"
Jeez man, game's are SUPPOSED TO BE FUN and made for that purpose.
I hate this dude. He needs to be put in the next "SAW" movie!
This is incredible. He's not evil or anything, he's just the only person I've heard of who can walk down the street with his head held high, with half a dozen feet in his mouth.
I'm tempted to use words like "bastard" and "pie faced little horn swaddler" and "silly old bootface", but I'm genuinely confusd. He's gone beyond just normal sense of tact and is just delving into masochism.
*shrugs* You could use it as an adjective describing someone battered and worn down, like Yahtzee Croshaw after any given interview. I just like being nitpicky. :P
I think he's that way because he's allowed to be that way. Sadly, assassination on the grounds that someone is a douche is illegal. It's the state of our society today. People like that only come about when the fear of getting an ass kicking is minimized. I guarantee you that if he had to worry about his head going up on a pike, he'd be more mindful of his words.
Well, why don't we? We stop buying Activision until that guy is removed from his office. Besides, most movements only start with a handful of nutcases who wanna make a change.
all the more reason to only buy used games if they have the activision logo on them
Ill bet after making a statement like that he goes around to all the forums and masterbates to everyone hating on him
*Note to self: don't buy...activision...ANYMORE
Who let him out of his cage?
Also, how many times have you guys used that picture now?
Yeah, you've got a point, I can't forget the guy's bloody name. So whatever he's pulling, it's working.
Oh come on. Don't you think threatening actual bodily harm is going a bit too far, here?
Oh, Bobby Kotick. Why not just take off your costume and admit that you're Satan?
That's not evil. That's just stupid.
I already knew about Acivision, ActivisionBlizzard now being the biggest games development and production company in the world. All thats changed is I now don't want to buy his games knowing the people who made them actually had to endure active morale crippling. Imagine how most of his employees feel? They have to go into work and be MADE to not have fun. Does he go round the office and shoot anyone who's smiling?
I was once taught that psychopaths don't always become murders or cannibals. They just have no capacity for empathy and enjoy the suffering of others (which of course often leads to the murders and cannibals). They are also reknown for being generally intelligent. They therefore make excellent buisnessmen. It is possible he is psychotic and suffers from an inability to understand how people work or care about other people. Or maybe he's just a cruel son of a bitch. But I hope Guitar Hero and WoW crumble and his employees strike. I hope he goes bankrupt and small developers start seeing some of what that corporate blackhole has been draining for years.
Insomniac, the creators of Ratchet and Clank and Resistance games, are still very much in the black and going strong and they have won awards for, essentially, employee happiness and fufillment. The work environment encourages inspiration and taking pleasure in your work, which is why I believe there games (especially the Ratchet and Clank series) are so excellent. So good they defined gaming for me. Yay Insomniac ^_^
"Technology has not yet reached the point where gamers can develop real emotional attachments to on-screen characters"?!
In my little world at least, it's the writing that makes you care about the characters. Take Mass Effect - your party members especially are characterised really well, to the point where I would take Garrus along wherever I went just because I liked the guy. And Ashley, despite her combat effectiveness, would always stay behind due to her being a xenophobic bitch. She had her redeeming features, of course, but her attitude toward her non-human allies was a bit much.
I don't need flashy, ultra-realistic graphics to connect with game characters, thanks.
There isn't anything I can contribute to the "evil corporate prick discussion" that hasn't already been said, sorry.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Wrapped in blankets and tucked into rescue sleds, two backcountry skiers with broken legs were towed Wednesday out of a remote spot in the Wallowa Mountains of northeastern Oregon where an avalanche killed two of their companions. The bodies were left behind until the risk of another avalanche subsides.
Rescuers labored through the day with ropes and other gear to get the man and woman from Washington state off a steep slope where they spent a cold and snowy night, Baker County Undersheriff Warren Thompson said.
The survivor's sleds were hitched to a snowcat and a snowmobile that hauled them to the community of Halfway, more than 10 miles away, Thompson said. An ambulance took them another 10 miles over roads to the community of Richland, where a break in the weather allowed a National Guard helicopter to meet them and fly them to Baker City. There, they were to be put on two helicopter ambulances and taken to a trauma center, either in Boise, Idaho, or Walla Walla, Wash.
The injured were among six skiers and two guides on the third day of a five-day trip through the backcountry of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest when they were hit by an avalanche at about noon Tuesday, authorities said.
The victim's names were not immediately released, but one of the dead was a guide and one was a client, Thompson said.
The bodies, which were not buried, were left at the site until it is deemed the snow is stable enough to return for them, Thompson said. All the rescuers and remaining survivors came out with the injured.
Rescue efforts were plagued all day by bad weather, which dropped 10 inches of snow and prevented two National Guard helicopters from reaching the avalanche site.
The helicopters had to return to Baker City for fuel and stood by in Halfway to make another attempt when the weather improved, Thompson said. A third helicopter took over flight duties, but weather once again prevented it from reaching the area.
Rescuers first reached the stranded skiers Tuesday but could not get them off the steep slope, so they stayed with the survivors. Three uninjured skiers were taken out late Tuesday by snowcat, Thompson said. Another search and rescue team was able to ride in about 8 miles Wednesday but had to finish the last 2 miles on skis and on foot. They used ropes and other gear to get the rest of the group up the slope to a flat area where the snowcat and snowmobile met them.
The seriously injured woman, from Wenatchee, Wash., suffered two broken legs and a shoulder injury, while the man, from Snohomish, Wash., had a broken thigh bone, Thompson said. The four other skiers were from Seattle.
One guide was from Enterprise, Ore., and the other was from Bellingham, Wash.
The ski trip was organized by Wallowa Alpine Huts, an outfitter from Joseph that has been in business since 1980 without a fatality, said owner Connelly Brown. He said two more guides skied in after the avalanche to help with the rescue.
"Right now we are just really battling the weather and nature," Brown said.
The avalanche came down from above the group on the third day of their trip, Brown said. The group had planned to sleep at the Schneider Cabin, a historic miners' log cabin on the south side of Cornucopia Peak.
Brown said the guides were certified by the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education and trained by the American Mountain Guide Association, and the skiers were all fit and proficient.
The avalanche occurred in the southern part of the Wallowa Mountains, near the Idaho border.
The Wallowas are known as the "Alps of Oregon." With their rocky peaks and deep ravines, the mountains are popular with backcountry skiers, snowmobilers, hikers and horseback riders.
On Feb. 6, the weekly avalanche bulletin posted online by the Wallowa Avalanche Center said 12 to 18 inches of new snow was not bonding well to the old snow, and there was a report in the southern Wallowas that a skier had triggered a small slide, though no one was injured, and more slides were possible.
Director Keith Stebbings said the all-volunteer center does not issue warnings, as some do, but had sent an investigation team to the site and interviewed survivors. The center would issue a report in a few days.
The deaths brought to 12 the number of people who have died in avalanches nationally this season, including six in the West since Sunday.

At one time, the Mets could count on Dillon Gee giving them five innings. They weren't always pretty, but at least there was length.
Not so much anymore.
In ten starts this spring, he's produced one quality start and only three times worked into the sixth or longer.
At 2-6 with a 6.34 ERA, and Jeremy Hefner pitching well and Shaun Marcum too expensive to option, Gee is pitching for his spot in the rotation as Zack Wheeler casts a shadow over the back end of the rotation.
"I'm always pitching for my job,'' Gee said. "Nothing is guaranteed here. I know I haven't pitched well. I have to turn things around and give us a chance to win.''
That's something he hasn't done this spring as he has given up at least four runs in six starts and has given up eight homers in 49.2 innings. Gee holds a NL-high 1.73 WHIP, which is staggering when you come to think about it.
Gee will be trying to extend the Mets' winning streak to four over the Yankees and five overall, before the team heads to Miami for the start of a three-game series beginning Friday night.
While there's pressure on Gee, he might have caught a temporary break as Jon Niese was scratched this afternoon with tendinitis in his left shoulder. The Mets waited this long, so they won't bring up Wheeler now, so the option is Collin McHugh to start Saturday at Miami.
The timetable for Niese is at least ten days, which could translate into a retroactive DL assignment.
Here's the Mets' batting order tonight against left-hander Vidal Nuno:
Justin Turner, 1B: Ike Davis' two hits Wednesday evidently didn't make that great of an impression as he's sitting tonight. Bottom line: If Davis is going to play on this level, he has to hit lefties. Turner is one of seven hitters the Mets have used to lead off.
Daniel Murphy, 2B: Leads team with 18 multi-hit games. He's hitting .386 on the road.
David Wright, 3B: Hitting .378 (17-45) with RISP. Has nine career homers against the Yankees, most ever by a Met.
John Buck, DH: Cooled considerably after hot start. Hit the ball hard on a line twice Wednesday night. Hit nine homers in April but only two since.
Lucas Duda, LF: Had key two-run double Wednesday night. Hitting .167 (6-36) with RISP.
Marlon Byrd, RF: Hitting just .161 (5-31) over his last ten games.
Anthony Recker, C: Hitless in 21 at-bats with RISP in his career.
Juan Lagares, CF: Has good glove, but hasn't shown anything offensively.
Omar Quintanilla, SS: Recalled this afternoon when Ruben Tejada was placed on the disabled list with a strained right quad.
Dillon Gee, RHP: Is 0-1 lifetime against Yankees.

Hello everyone, my name is Matthew, I am 16 years old, and I aspire to learn the Java programming language. Currently I have purchased a book, and I have been studying every page very carefully so I know what I am doing. Far better than getting to Chapter 3 and realizing I forget Chapter 1 haha. But in any case, I have come here in hopes of getting some guidance along the way. My book is amazing and teaches me everything I need to know, but when I venture off on my own I will post here for guidance. Maybe I will also post some advice once I get good enough. Just posted some advice some minutes ago, but I am awaiting feedback on the post since I could have misinterpreted something. We will see!
Excited to meet everyone and learn some Java.

February 12-22, 2009
WestWorld, Scottsdale, AZ
Each year, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show draws more than 2,400 of the world's finest Arabian and half-Arabian horses for a week of thrilling competition in pursuit of the coveted "Scottsdale Champion" title. These magnificent animals and their owners gather from around the world to compete for more than $1,000,000 in prizes in more than 640 colorful classes.
The 54th Annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show will take place at the City of Scottsdale's WestWorld, February 12-22, 2009. The largest event of its kind in the world, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show routinely attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators. In addition to exciting competitions, gala parties, educational seminars and an international cuisine court, the event features more than 300 vendors and trade booths, offering everything from lavish jewelry, clothing and works of art to boots, saddles and gifts. Guests also can stroll the luxurious, exotically decorated stabling areas in which the horses are housed.
Although it is a grand event today, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show had very modest beginnings. It all started in 1953 when horse fancier Ed Tweed stopped by the stable of Pearl Grey Clyde, the first person to bring a purebred Arabian horse to the Valley of the Sun. At that meeting, Tweed proclaimed that he would bring together all Arabian horse owners in Arizona and start an Arabian Horse Association. Two years later, the inaugural Arabian Horse Show was held at the Arizona Biltmore Resort. The event was organized by an all-volunteer group and consisted of 50 horses and just over a dozen exhibitors, all from Arizona and neighboring states. In contrast, the 2008 show featured exhibitors from all 50 states and 12 foreign countries.
Following the inaugural event, Arabian horse owner Ann McCormick bought 150 acres of land near Bell Road that became Paradise Park, the new site of the Arabian Horse Show. Due to the amazing success of the event, it outgrew Paradise Park in the mid-1980s and moved on to WestWorld of Scottsdale, a newly developed, much larger facility that proved to be the perfect locale for this incredibly popular show.
Each year the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show raises thousands of dollars for local charities. Some that have benefited from recent shows include the March of Dimes, Cox Charities, Make-A-Wish Foundation and Phoenix Children's Hospital. For more than fifty years the Arabian Horse Association of Arizona has been a supporter of charitable organizations and will continue to support such endeavors this year. Club members estimate that over the years, more than 100 charities have benefited substantially from the event.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show is a must-see event that is perfect for the whole family. Join us in Scottsdale next February and watch these magnificent horses compete!

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by honoring an outstanding athlete who came to Tennessee State on a basketball scholarship, but left as a baseball legend.
George Altman (1951-1955) played four seasons under former Basketball Head Coach Clarence Cash and was a member of a team that won three straight Black National Championships.
Basketball may have been Altman's first love at that time, but his true calling was realized when he joined the TSU baseball team in 1954.
In only two years of playing collegiately, Altman caught the eye of Kansas City Monarchs manager Buck O'Neil who signed him to a contract to play in the Negro League once Altman finished college.
Altman went from being a student-athlete with little experience to a professional player taking batting practice off of Baseball Hall of Fame member Satchel Paige.
O'Neil was impressed with Altman, and convinced Chicago brass to sign the young player when O'Neil became a scout for the Cubs.
Wrigley Field was kind to Altman and the left-handed hitting outfielder flourished in the majors hitting 12 home runs in his first season. Altman's overall play in the 1959 season earned him the Chicago Rookie of the Year award.
Altman continued to improve over the next few years, and he enjoyed his finest season in 1961 hitting .303 with 27 home runs, 28 doubles and a league-high 12 triples. His performance garnered him an appearance on the 1961 All-Star team and a handful of MVP votes.
After another All-Star season in 1962 playing alongside Lou Brock, the Cubs traded Altman to rival St. Louis in a six-player deal.
A year later, Altman was playing for the New York Mets before the Cubs traded for him once again.
Altman finished his playing career in 1975 at the age of 42 with the Hanshin Tigers of the Japan league.
In 1983, Tennessee State inducted Altman into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame.
Watch Altman talk about his career here:
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

Signs of Damage Caused by Glaucoma
Topic Overview
All forms of glaucoma cause the same characteristic changes in the optic nerve, at the back of the eye, and the nerve fibres. Glaucoma causes changes in the appearance of the optic disc (notching or thinning of the edge) and changes in the nerve fibre layer (fibre defects). Tiny amounts of bleeding (hemorrhages) near the optic disc may represent ongoing damage from the disease.
Other findings are used to determine how bad the disease is. Doctors classify the severity of glaucoma in the following way:
- Ocular hypertension is consistently elevated pressure inside the eye (greater than 21 millimetres of mercury, or mm Hg) but without any evidence of damage to the optic nerve or loss of visual field. Some people who have ocular hypertension may still need treatment if the pressure in the eye is high enough to pose a risk of damaging the optic nerve over the long term.
- Corneal thickness refers to the thickness of the clear front surface of the eye (cornea). Cornea thickness, along with pressure inside the eye, helps determine your risk for glaucoma.
- Mild glaucoma refers to optic nerve damage with a normal visual field or minimal loss of side, or peripheral, vision. If signs of optic nerve damage are present without visual field loss, the person may be considered as possibly having glaucoma (a glaucoma suspect).
- Moderate glaucoma refers to optic nerve damage with moderate loss of vision in at least one eye. But sight in the centre of the eye (central vision) is not affected.
- Severe glaucoma refers to optic nerve damage with loss of vision in both eyes or loss of sight in one eye that includes central vision loss.
The two basic types of glaucoma differ in relation to the cause of the optic nerve damage. A simple test (gonioscopy) can help your doctor know what type of glaucoma may be present. Treatment is based on the type of glaucoma.
- In closed-angle glaucoma, the iris (the coloured part of the eye) and the lens block the movement of fluid between the chambers of the eye. The blockage causes pressure to build up and makes the iris press on the drainage system (trabecular meshwork) of the eye. The increased pressure damages the optic nerve.
- In open-angle glaucoma, the iris and lens do not block the movement of fluid between the chambers of the eye. The cause of the optic nerve damage in open-angle glaucoma is not well understood. It may be that the fluid does not drain out of the eye normally. It may be that as a person ages, his or her eyes have more exposure to risk factors or are more likely to be injured. People may also inherit the tendency to develop glaucoma.

I am helpless against videos involving servicemen and women returning home to their families. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for the absent parents to miss all those milestones, and how hard it is for the essentially single one at home to hold it all together, and for the kid who probably can't really comprehend why Daddy or Mommy's not around. And the lump in my throat starts forming…3…2…1….now.
If just one of those vids brings on the tears, what would a whole montage of them do? Create a sob storm chain reaction in the Parenting offices, as editor after editor watched and weeped. One pregnant staffer could not even bear to watch until she got home and could really let it out.
Need a good cry yourself? Watch this over at ParentDish.
P.S. Speaking of crying, you gotta read Daring Young Mom's hilarious post about what makes each member of her family cry. My fave: Wanda cries when I won't let her launch her body off of high surfaces. She weeps when I accidentally let her launch her body off of high surfaces. Read more.

From the Wires
IObit Launches StartMenu 8 to Bring Start Menu Back in Windows 8 for Free
By: Business Wire
Jan. 28, 2013 01:00 PM
IObit, the world's leading system utility software provider, announced a brand new and free system tool that will enable Windows 8 users to get themselves better familiarized with the new Microsoft operating system. IObit StartMenu8 provides a quick and convenient way for Windows 8 users to bring back both the Windows Start Menu and the Start button, while also disabling things like Windows 8 Hot Corners, the Metro Sidebar and hot keys. By giving users more control over their Start Menu, StartMenu8 aims to help users feel more comfortable while using Windows 8.
While many users have praised the new features in Windows 8, one user interface change has met a considerable amount of criticism. In this latest version, the Windows Start Menu, a staple of all Windows operating systems for the last 15 years, has been replaced with the touch-screen optimized Metro UI. StartMenu8 lets users automatically skip the Metro UI screen and immediately gain access to the desktop when Windows 8 loads. But rather than just give users access to the menu they are most familiar with, StartMenu8 also offers four easy-to-use and fully configurable menus that let users remove features they don't need or customize start button with their own images. Users can also create quick access links to their favorite and most-used applications by right clicking to "Pin to StartMenu", "Pin to Taskbar" or "Pin to Startup."
"IObit has a proven track record of listening closely to what users need and providing the best system utilities in the world. There may be other programs that give access to the Start Menu in Windows 8, but IObit's SmartMenu8 is both the simplest and most comprehensive option on the market. This combination of simplicity with a very high level of customization is rare for any system utility." Said Michael Zhao, Marketing Director at IObit. "Simply install StartMenu8 and you will have the old Start Menu back just the way you want it. And the best part, it's totally free."
About StartMenu8

Vt. landfill to be denied application

Vt. landfill to be denied application
Moretown landfill is one of two operating in state
MORETOWN, Vt. —
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources says it intends to deny a Moretown landfill's request to recertify two areas where it disposes of trash.
In a letter dated Thursday, the agency says the design and operation of the Moretown Landfill does not prevent nuisance odors.
The letter has no immediate impact on the operation of the landfill that is visible from U.S. Route 2 and Interstate 89. It opens a 30-day comment period that will be focused on whether the design can prevent odors.
The owner of the landfill has said it has a plan to fix the problems, including putting a temporary cap over more than five acres of the site and to not accept foul-smelling sludge.
A final decision on the landfill's permit application is expected in March.

Hello I would like to make an online RPG similar to this Star Wars one http://www.swcombine.com I think it's classified as a "text" rpg? Using PHP and MySQL programming. I have a couple questions though. How long would one of these take to make, would it be possible to be able to do one in a year or two? Would I be able to make one with a good computer and C++ Programming knowledge, and PHP/MYSQL programs? It would have to be able to support like quite a few people too. What do you guys think?

Making games is hard, as is making any other software. If you do not yet know how hard it will be, and therefore how much time you can expect to invest, then you won't finish a bigger project. Make a very simple game with your chosen technology, for example an ELIZA clone. Then you will have a better grasp about what time it will take to make a more complex game. You will also have learned about the possibilities, disadvantages and traps in regards to your chosen method.

Bjoernke makes a very good point if you do not have a rough idea of how hard a project will be or how long it will take then you are not ready for that project. Start small and you will have a chance to stick with it.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe blue wildebeest is a grazer, its broad mouth adapted to bulk feeding on short grass. However, its dependence on short grass, together with its need to drink at least every other day, limits the species to moist grassland and to areas within reach of water (4) (8), although interestingly it is also known to survive in waterless regions of the Kalahari by feeding on melons and water-storing roots and tubers (4). The need to follow seasonal grazing and water supplies leads the blue wildebeest to form some of the largest migratory herds of all antelopes, with those in the Serengeti-Masai Mara ecosystem of Kenya and Tanzania forming part of the world's largest remaining aggregations of large land mammals (4). However, not all wildebeest migrate, with some remaining in the same area year-round, generally forming small herds of up to ten females plus immature offspring (2) (4). The females in these herds tend to establish dominance hierarchies and harass any outsiders who attempt to join. In contrast, the only stable associations in migratory herds are between a female and offspring. Depending on the environmental conditions, different blue wildebeest populations, and even the same population at different times, may show every variation between these social extremes (4). The blue wildebeest has an unusually restricted breeding season. Around 80 to 90 percent of calves are born within a two to three week period, usually at the start of the rains, when conditions are most favourable (2) (4). This also helps to protect the calves by creating a glut for predators. The female blue wildebeest gives birth annually, to a single calf, after a gestation period of around eight months. The calf follows the female from the moment it can stand, usually within 15 minutes of birth, and is weaned by nine months (2). The young male is pushed out of the herd by territorial males after the first year, after which it joins a bachelor herd, which may also contain older and non-territorial males (2) (4). After reaching sexual maturity at three to four years old, the male becomes solitary and attempts to establish its own territory, which may be temporary in migratory populations, or may be continuously occupied and defended for years (2). Territorial competition between males typically involves ritualised displays, pushing with the horns, and the loud 'ge-nu' call that gives the wildebeest its other name, the gnu (2) (6). The lifespan of the blue wildebeest is around 20 years in the wild (3).

STOCKTON - A Stockton man is facing an involuntary manslaughter charge seven months after his dog fatally mauled a woman in his front yard, authorities said.
STOCKTON - A Stockton man is facing an involuntary manslaughter charge seven months after his dog fatally mauled a woman in his front yard, authorities said.
Brian Hrenko, 60, was arrested Thursday morning and booked into the San Joaquin County Jail, said Detective Dave Konecny, a spokesman for the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office. Hrenko is being held in lieu of $250,000 bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. today in San Joaquin County Superior Court.
The Sheriff's Office received a report of a dog mauling at Hrenko's east Stockton home in the 400 block of North Lillian Avenue about 8:20 p.m. April 12. When deputies arrived, they found the bloody remains of Claudia Gallardo, a 38-year-old mother of three who had been killed by one of Hrenko's dogs, a pit bull named Russia.
Neighbor Javier Sanchez, 43, jumped a fence and tried to fight the dog off with a stick, but the animal wouldn't unclench its massive jaws from the woman's throat. Gallardo was pronounced dead at the scene.
The dog, which had a history of attacking pets and people in the neighborhood, was seized by San Joaquin County Animal Services the same night. Investigators said they planned to impound the dog until the investigation was complete. Authorities did not provide an update on the animal's fate Thursday.
Hrenko said he was not home when the mauling occurred. A woman who was living with Hrenko was home and witnessed the attack, but the dog did not obey her verbal commands to stop, witnesses said.
Authorities believed Gallardo entered Hrenko's front yard either by climbing over a chain-link fence or passing through a side gate that was latched but unlocked. Relatives said Hrenko had met Gallardo at least once before, but it was unclear why she went to his home that night.
Konecny said he could not comment on the case Thursday, and representatives of the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office did not return calls.

A year at the helm
CMC's CEO still a doctor at heart
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
UNH plan to spend $1.5m on stadium lights draws ire
- One year after he was introduced as the new CEO of Catholic Medical Center, Dr. Joseph Pepe hosted a news conference for a more somber reason - to inform the public that neurosurgical instruments at the hospital had been tainted by a patient with a deadly brain disease.
That crisis in early September, and his effective handling of it, marked an eventful 12 months for Pepe at the helm of one of the state's largest hospitals.
The patient who arrived at CMC with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) later died, but the eight patients who were at risk of exposure have so far not shown any signs of it. The rapid pace of the hospital's response and its transparency in a potentially damaging situation were widely applauded.
Pepe suspended all brain surgery, notified authorities and met with each of the affected patients. "I put on my hat as a physician," said the former chief medical officer. "I didn't think twice about making sure these patients were informed and cared for, and that the community knew as well because I did not want any kind of public hazard. Being transparent, open and honest was not part of a strategy; it was just the right thing to do."
The response to the crisis may have been instinctive, but many of Pepe's initiatives are rooted in the hospital's first three-year strategic plan, posted on the hospital's website. "CEOs everywhere have strategic plans," he said. "But to me, when you're a nonprofit organization, it's important to let everyone know where you are headed."
Health care evolution
In an interview marking his one-year anniversary, Pepe reflected on big changes underway in how health care is paid for and delivered. CMC intends to be on the cutting edge of those changes, he said, and the strategic plan reflects that objective.
It calls for expanding the hospital's geographic reach, increasing its primary care capacity, enhancing collaboration with partners (including other hospitals) and participating in new payment programs that reward outcomes, not procedures - going from volume to value, as Pepe puts it.
CMC is expanding its reach not by building outlying campuses, but by partnering with smaller hospitals in sharing talent. CMC doctors now perform specialized surgeries at hospitals from Derry to Berlin, particularly in cardiology and bariatrics.
On Tuesday, CMC celebrated the opening of a primary care practice at the Executive Health Club near the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. "We're repurposing existing space in the health club," Pepe said. "It will be a primary care practice that will also work collaboratively with occupational health and physical therapy services that are already there."
The detox unit at the Farnum Center, which recently moved to Queen City Avenue in a newly renovated former motel building, was dedicated to CMC for its years of collaboration with the alcohol and drug treatment facility.
Like many hospitals, CMC is evolving toward a payment system that rewards outcomes, not fee-for-service, said Pepe, through partnerships with private insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid.
As of Jan. 1, CMC will become part of the Pioneer Accountable Care Organization at Dartmouth-Hitchock, a model promoted by Medicare and Medicaid, in which groups of doctors and other health care providers work together to provide high-quality care for their patients at lower cost, and share the savings with the insurers.
The hospital also has a risk contract with Anthem Blue Cross in which CMC is rewarded financially if it meets certain quality measures without increasing costs.
CMC is also one of 16 acute-care hospitals in the state that will be part of the Anthem network on the newly established online health care exchange at healthcare.gov. The fact that 10 of the state's hospitals are not included in the network has been controversial.
"You're going to see many different products as we move through health care reform," Pepe said, "and there's going to be good and bad about them. We don't want to sacrifice access, choice and quality in the name of lowering costs. Quality outcomes that matter to patients are still the most important thing."
He said CMC knew it would have to accept comparatively low payment levels to be part of the new Anthem network, and did so in the interest of innovation.
"We knew going into it that the exchange was not going to provide the highest levels in terms of reimbursement. We didn't have high expectations," he said. "But we also knew that this was just one aspect of going forward into the future, and we wanted to be flexible and nimble to be able to do different things."
Calming presence
Pepe has brought a period of stability to the hospital after a tumultuous end to the 13-year tenure of his predecessor, Alyson Pitman Giles, whose effort to create a merger with Dartmouth-Hitchcock failed, and whose $1.36 million salary became the flash point for criticism of executive compensation at nonprofit hospitals by the New Hampshire attorney general.
Instead of a merger, CMC in the past year quietly signed on to a partnership in the accountable care project with Dartmouth. Pepe's $445,000 a year, as reported to the IRS, is lower than the statewide average of $485,664 for hospital CEOs as cited by the attorney general. Like the compensation of other CMC executives, it's linked to a variety of outcomes, including charitable care.
CMC is the second largest hospital in the state by number of beds, after Dartmouth, and the fourth largest by revenue, which beat expenses by 5 percent in the hospital's last fiscal year, the best result in the past eight years, Pepe said.
The hospital treats some of the sickest patients in the state, has some of the highest ratings for quality and was ranked number one by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in New Hampshire in terms of cost-efficiency. "If we're paid according to quality, value, size and complexity, then we're underpaid," Pepe said.
The doctor who spent his entire career in practice at CMC said he misses day-to-day contact with patients, but embraces the challenges of leadership. "I feel I was made to do this," he said. "I'm still taking care of patients, but taking care of them from a different vantage point .."

If the Colorado Rapids do fail to qualify for the quarter final stages, it will be the first lesson of sports that's come back to haunt them: You must protect your home turf.
After Wednesday's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Group B winners Santos Laguna, the Rapids are now dependent on Isidro Metapán and Real España tying Thursday night in a sodden El Salvador. Heavy rains have caused havoc in the El Salvador domestic league program, but the reports are that tomorrow night's game will go on.
While the Rapids did beat Isidro Metapán in the opening game of the tournament 3-2 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, those three points were the only ones they picked up at home. A heavy 4-1 defeat at the hands of Santos Laguna and a disappointing 2-1 loss against Real Espana were the other two fixtures.
The defeat against Real Espana was particularly hard to swallow, given a solid performance down in Honduras where the home side only picked up a point in the last few minutes with a late equalizer.
"I think we definitely feel the loss of those two games at home in this competition," defender Drew Moor told MLSsoccer.com from Torreon. "Especially in that game against Real España where we nearly got three points at their place. You have to do better in those home games."
Getting a win Wednesday at Santos, clearly the best team in group B, did in the end prove too much to ask even with Los Guerreros resting seven players from the previous weekend.
Rapids head coach Gary Smith said it has been a "big learning curve" playing in the CCL for the first time.
"It's a bloody difficult competition for all sorts of reasons and we have learned an awful lot," he told MLSsoccer.com. "In those two games we lost [at home], we were well beaten by Santos and I still believe we did enough in that first period in the game against España. But mistakes costs us dearly and we weren't able to capitalize with our finishing, a bit like tonight."
One of the hardest things to deal with in CCL has been the travel. The Rapids only arrived close to midnight in Mexico last night after traveling most of the day, and will have to be up at 4:30 am Thursday morning to make the long haul back to Denver. On Friday, the team will fly up to Vancouver for the final MLS regular season game.
As well as the travel, it's been a challenge getting used to playing teams with very different styles from opponents in the MLS, according to Moor.
"I wouldn't say these teams are a notch above but they are a notch different," Moor said. "They are not your typical MLS side and they play extremely good soccer."
CCL: Colorado left to rue points dropped at home
If the Colorado Rapids do fail to qualify for the quarter final stages, it will be the first lesson of sports that's come back to haunt them: You must protect your home turf.

As we approach the new year, 2013, let us reflect on a year of mistakes. We must correct our wrongs.
As we approach the new year, 2013, let us reflect on a year of mistakes. We must correct our wrongs.
If not, we won't have to worry about terrorists, we will be our own worst enemy.
Donna Ghirardelli
Wayne LaPierre, executive VP of the National Rifle Association, offered his organization's solution Dec. 21 to the mass shootings carried out by "insane killers" that have become so much a part of our society: station a "good guy with a gun" in every school.
Of course, this solution does not go far enough. Note that, at almost the same time LaPierre was speaking, another gunman was killing people in a church in Pennsylvania. So we obviously need guards in every church as well.
And what about the myriad workplace shootings? We need an armed guard in every business in the country. Gee, does all this sound as if it's good for business for NRA member gun manufacturers?
William Troy
The mass shooting in Newtown Dec. 14 should not be pushed quickly from our memories as some other such incidents have. It is a date that should help us lead to some cultural change as to the presence of guns in our homes, cities and society.
Why anyone needs an assault rifle or a Bushmaster is incomprehensible to me, because it does not protect you. If you own a gun and you believe that 26 lives have been saved because you have it, please write this paper. Do not go into the mental health issue of the shooter and explain those deaths away because of some problem he had.
Twenty-six people would not be dead because Adam Lanza went to Sandy Hook with a knife, an ice pick or any martial arts knowledge. They are dead because he was able to bring a weapon that does not protect anyone.
Let Dec. 14, 2012, be the day that the American people say that these kinds of weapons have no place in our society, and it is time for change in our gun culture.

The Little Red Hen
By Byron Barton , Byron Barton
PreK-K, 1-2, 3-5

In this easy-to-read folk tale, Little Red Hen lives with a goose, a cat, and a dog. The goose gossips all day. The cat primps. The dog sleeps. So Little Red Hen is left to do all the work about the house. When she finds a few grains of wheat, she asks the others, "Who wants to plant these grains of wheat?" The goose, the cat, and the dog each answer, "Not I." The Little Red Hen plants and eventually harvests the wheat. Whenever she asks for help, the goose, the cat, and the dog answer, "Not I."

But when the Little Red Hen has the wheat ground into flour and then wakes early one morning to make the flour into bread, the others change their tune. As soon as they smell the baking bread, each animal offers to help eat it. Only then do they finally learn, that since the Little Red Hen was the only one who did all the work, then she is the only one who is allowed to enjoy its rewards. And without any hesitation, she eats the bread herself.

Lucinda McQueen's active illustrations show in vivid detail how a few grains of wheat can be eventually made into bread. Her pictures perfectly capture the character of each animal of this classic folktale, while her simple storytelling teaches even the youngest readers important lessons about work and responsibility.

Ryan Murphy
May 07. 2014 6:06PM
The U.S. Marshals Service District of New Hampshire/Joint Fugitive Task Force has named Ryan Michael Murphy as New Hampshire's fugitive of the week.
Murphy, 28, is wanted on a warrant from Manchester police in connection with a bank robbery that occurred on Saturday, April 19. Authorities say the robber showed a note demanding cash and indicating he was armed with a handgun, though no weapon was shown. Murphy is described as 5-feet-10, 140 pounds, with green eyes and brown hair. He has tattoos on both arms, his back and chest. He was last known to be living in Manchester, where he has several friends. Authorities believe he is likely to still be in the area.
The U.S. Marshals Service advises the public not to attempt to apprehend a fugitive, who should be considered armed and dangerous. Instead, report any information to the U.S. Marshals Service's Concord office at 225-1632 or call 1-877-WANTED-2 or text "NHTIP" with any information to TIP411.

High grain prices have caused Bishopville, S.C., grower William McElveen to rethink his rotations, but peanuts and cotton remain his bread and butter.
Peanuts have grown from a few thousand acres in South Carolina at the turn of the millennium to over 60,000 in 2008. Though many farmers in his area switched to peanuts from other crops since 2004, McElveen says peanuts have been a staple on his farm for over 20 years.
In addition to peanuts, the South Carolina grower produces 600 acres of cotton, 500 acres of corn and 500 acres of wheat, double-cropped with soybeans. He added some extra storage capacity on his farm, which continues to pay off as he harvests his wheat.
He says he will plant about 600 acres of NC V11 and Champs, both Virginia-type peanuts. He notes a short supply of NC V11 seed has forced most South Carolina growers to choose some alternative varieties.
Champs is a new variety, developed by Virginia Tech plant breeders. This new Virginia type variety has performed well in Virginia and North Carolina.
Peanuts have a big advantage in these boom times because of the good contract prices. "This is the first year since I've been farming that I couldn't book my crops. You can't book soybeans and cotton. They are at a high price, but it doesn't mean anything, if you can't book sell." He stresses that planting crops that aren't booked adds significantly to the already high risks of farming.
Knowing that his peanuts are sold and sold for a good price is a comforting feeling for the South Carolina grower. Despite a long history with peanuts, McElveen says he doesn't make a major decision without consulting Clemson Peanut Specialist Jay Chapin.
"I also get a lot of cropping advice from Jerry Adams, my Bayer Crop Science representative," McElveen says. "This year I told Jerry I was going to plant my peanuts the last week in April. Jerry called Chapin, who told him to shoot out the tires on my tractor, if that's what it would take to prevent me from planting peanuts before May 10," the South Carolina farmer recalls.
"Even with the horrific drought last year, we made pretty good peanuts. A good harvest season saved us. I believe the No. 1 cause for loss of yield in peanuts comes from the harvesting process," he says.
Last year McElveen says he tried planting peanuts on strip-tilled land. The drought and the flat land didn't work too well. The South Carolina grower contends he lost several pounds per acre trying to get his peanuts out of the hard, flat rows. It's more convenient than conventional planting, but it just didn't work for us, McElveen notes.
Planting peanuts is a slow process, but one in which increasing speed never pays. McElveen runs two 8-row planters and under ideal planting conditions he can plant his 600 acres of peanuts in 15-16 days. Of course getting 15-16 days of consecutively good weather in the Pee Dee area of northeastern South Carolina in early May is nearly impossible.
"We put Temik at 5 pounds per acre in the furrow with the planter to control thrips, and we feel that gives our peanuts a good start. We include Asset, Optimize Lift and First Up at planting to help with root formation," he adds.
"Before first bloom we come back with our first herbicide application, which is always a combination of chemicals," he says. Last year he used a combination of Storm, Blazer, Dual and Basagran. The South Carolina grower stresses these materials have to be used in a timely manner to work properly.
While his neighbors to the north in North Carolina and Virginia have had devastating problems with diseases on peanuts, McElveen says a timely, diversified fungicide program has helped keep disease problems to a minimum in his peanuts.
"At 45 days we begin with an application of Bravo and Tilt, giving us two different families of fungicides. At 60 days, we come back with Provost, giving us another family of fungicides. At 75 days we sprayed with Abound and at 90 days with Provost and my last spray was another application of Bravo," McElveen explains.
"We usually are digging peanuts and still spraying other peanuts — you can't neglect the last peanuts on your digging schedule. It may take us a month to dig and combine 600 acres of peanuts, so you are harvesting and growing different parts of the crop at the same time," McElveen emphasizes.
The things that pay off the most for his peanut operation, he says, are:
• Planting rate. "We have to get six seed per foot of row. With the high value of seeds, it is equally important to get that seed at the right depth and to be sure you can get the plant to pop out of the ground early in the growing season."
• Controlling weeds early in the season. "If you let weeds get started and up with the peanuts it's harder to control them, they compete with the peanuts for nutrition, but most of all they mess up your digging. Again, losing peanuts at the end of the season is something you can prevent by managing weeds in the early part of the season.
• Timing fungicide applications is critical. "Again, keeping disease out of your peanuts is the key. Once any of these diseases gets started, it's so much harder to manage it than it is to prevent it."
"There seems to be a bond between the grower and peanuts unlike the bond he has with other crops. And with peanuts, you just cannot cut corners," McElveen stresses.

Schanfarber, Chair¬ man of the campaign' for the Columbus United Jewish Fund.' Teams of workers are continually canvassing the city and eliciting subscriptions from folks ivho have up-tordate not been approached. The imperative neces.sity for co-oper- .ition in order, to put this 'campaign over, has been rctlized by every, conscientious Jew in the city. The realization has come to all that wc have been united for I a most noble purpose and there is no [ question but that every Jew .and Jewess in the city'will do their share, From a survey ¦ of ' the fine beginning already made, one is inclined to be optimistic regarding thc final outcome of the drive. "Let every one," declared Mr. Schan¬ farber, "keep in mind the beautiful slo¬ gan of the campaign: 'All For One And One For All In Living And In Giving,' so that every dollar needed to fill the quota will be secured."

COLUMBUS Tlie B'nai B'rith Lodge of Columbus has .announced through its president that it will make a subbtantial subscription to the United Jewish Fund of Colum¬ biis, the amount of which is to be an¬ nounced later in thc columns of tlic CUKONICIJ:. MANY THANKS . The olTiccrs of Zion Lodge No. 62, I. O. B. B., take this meiins of thanking most' heartily all. those who assisted in making the Minstrel Show a success. They wish to thank all the men who have given so faithfully of thejr time. and energy to put the production over so wonder¬ fully; especially the Uiiivcrsity boys from Z. B. T. and Phi Sig¬ ma Delta fraternities. They also desire to thank Mr. S. W, ReiJiy for his hard work and painstak¬ ing,conscientiousness. Last, but ,not least, they wish to thank Mrs. H. B. Miller for her splen¬ did work nt the piano during rehearsals. It is needless to say that thc co-operation of the pa- :rons and patronesses was highly appreciated.

The show this year was again staged under the'direction of S. W. Rcilly, vet¬ eran local minstrel coach; and it was largely through the splendid cooperation of this genial fellow and the fine galaxy of talented men in the cast- that the af¬ fair, "was put over big." Everyone en- joycd'the two .md h.-ilf hours entertain¬ ment to the n'th degree. The impression was current, that had an admission fee of $1.50 bi^en charged, everyone would have felt that he had been under charged. The opening chorus was a genuine sur¬ prise, taking the house by .storm. The chorus was tastefully, garbed and ren¬ dered its songs with a vim and a dash which one is inclined.to attribute to regu¬ lar professionals only. That the audi¬ ence was highly pleased with the work of the chorus as well as of the End Men, was evidenced by the many spontaneous outbursts of applause and the many in¬ sistent demands for encores. I. W. Garek (alias Attorney Isadore Walton Garek) and Dr. S- D. Edelman (the undertaker's friend) were among the outstanding surprises of thc. evening —the former winning the sympathy of the audience (especially the married men) with his p.ithetic and impassioned rendering of "Poor Papa" and the latter by his exceptionally fine rendering of "I Want To Go Where You Go." The minstrel was presented in two parts: the first being the usual "Yoiw Ask-Mc-And-ril-TcU-you," and the lat¬ ter consisting of olio, or specialty .num- i ben. The "gags" aimed at "local lights" in the audience were joyfully as well as graciously received . Universal applause greeted Messrs.

Devin Michael Spence, a teacher at Manchester Valley High School who died Monday, Feb. 11, in a car accident, will be remembered for his big heart and kind soul, according to those who knew him.
Spence, 23, was killed after his car crashed into a private school bus and burst into flames Monday morning.
The Carroll County Sheriff's Department reported to the scene and believe icy roads played a part in the accident.
A math teacher, Spence joined the staff at Manchester Valley High School last August, according to Randy Clark, Manchester Valley's principal.
"He was just a very dynamic, energetic young teacher that worked hard at helping the students understand the content he was teaching," Clark said. "He made a mark on the school already in his short time."
The 2007 Winters Mill High School graduate was a member of the varsity lacrosse team, which played for the state championship his senior year.
"When he was here as a student and player for me, he was one of those kids who got along with everybody," said Sal Picataggi, Winters Mill's lacrosse coach. "He was friendly to everybody. He was the kind of guy, type of person, who always positively impacted everyone around him."
Picataggi has known the Spence family for 17 years, having first met them when Spence's older brother was one of Picataggi's first students.
Picataggi also worked with Spence when he became a long-term substitute at the school.
"Devin was just a really kind and gentle young man," Picataggi said. "He made such an impact on so many kids in so short of time. We got robbed on this one. He was able to do so much good. That was his intent."
A memorial service was planned for Saturday, Feb. 16, at Manchester Valley High School.
Throughout last week, counselors were available at the school for both students and staff, Clark said.
"Given the circumstances, we're doing pretty well. We've had some rough days," Clark said. "We've had tremendous support from our community and other schools."

text: My sister and I have a long history of arguing and saying hurtful things to the other. Our father was abusive, and we really didn't learn how to interact with self or others. We had another such fight last month, both of us saying 'unforgivable' things, and I was torn up inside. I was angry and depressed because I felt like I was letting my mother down, and I know that I was affecting my children with my overall attitude. One morning, as I was taking my daughter to school, I heard the song, "Losing", which I had already liked, but as I listened to the words, I looked over at my daughter and I said, "Listen to the words of this song. It is saying 'Father, give me grace to forgive them cause I feel like the one losing'. This is God telling me that no matter what has been said or done, I need to forgive". This fight was eating me up inside and totally affecting my life. I called my sister when I knew she wasn't home and left a long message telling her how sorry I was and that I loved her and I wanted to move on with living. I knew if I called her when she was home, she would be on the immediate defensive when I called, and another verbal altercation could occur. Everything worked out, and I have been working on letting God lead me in all aspects of my life. I even searched for and found a new church home. This church is awesome. I just started there last week but I know that I have found the place that God will work strongest in me!! I have definitely been at peace, and each time I hear the song, "Losing", I smile and thank God!!!! Thank you WCIC for sharing the beautiful and inspiring music and stories.
