The reveal of the next version of Smash Bros. is finally on the horizon. Christopher Erb of VGU.TV throws some less than likely candidates for new characters, stages, and game mechanics out there for the speculative to chew upon.
I hope we hear about more characters soon but I'm sure a lot of people are happy that Mega man was added :)
I wonder if the 3ds and Wii U versions link up in any capacity, like Playstation Allstars on the Ps3 and Vita?
I know the graphics in this case are dramatically different between the two games, but it'd be cool if they worked out some way to have games with Wii U players through the 3ds version...
i dont care for megaman at all, but that was a good score on nintendos part,they are actually getting characters that people have asked for.
It like one of the only games on wii u so how can it not be a hit.

My daughter Wendy is getting her masters in film at U of New Orleans. She's in production of her thesis film, The Veil, about a certain fictional (of course) cultish church where a young congregant is induced to marry the pastor. You can check out the synopsis below. Wendy needs help funding the production and is going through the crowd funding site Indiegogo. Here's a link to her Indiegogo submission - http://www.indiegogo.com/theveil
and the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheVeilmovie.
They're shooting at Evergreen Plantation, where Django Unchained (Quentin Tarantino's latest movie) just shot. The Veil's Pastor Addison is played by the actor who was Dick Cheney's lawyer in W. (directed by Oliver Stone).
She'll be submitting The Veil to film festivals across the nation, spreading the word everywhere. Her previous short film, Impressionable, related to the same theme, is currently in the film festival circuit. Some earlier works are at http://vimeo.com/grangergs.
We're hoping to get your help with donations and to spread the word to others in our godless community who want to expose the faith community's ways. Liking the facebook page and sharing the Indiegogo link, and commenting on the Indiegogo page itself are especially helpful to get her campaign featured on the website. If you have a blog or a website adding a link can help too!
This is an opportunity to be a part of the film making process. They've been hard at work and have gathered some great resources already. She just needs our help with the rest. You can be a part of the seedling stage of a great film production career.
Nate Granger
Elise Galveston, 18 years old, has never really experienced life outside the Church of the Children of Christ, the close-knit community founded by the charismatic Pastor Addison, who keeps his flock under strict control. Through she has the opportunity to go to college on a tennis scholarship, she's still unlikely to get away from the congregation... as she is scheduled to soon marry the middle-aged Addison. She believes in the pastor, and trusts him... but she doesn't love him.
The film takes place over a single day: the day of the wedding itself. Elise, taught by the pastor to believe that she is an imperfect vessel and that her own feelings are suspect, searches for a sign from God so she can know for sure what path she should take: secure marriage or freedom from the oppressive church in a world she doesn't know. In a dramatic and dark climax, when she finally finds her sign, her life is forever altered.

Holmgren: Blackhawks' run trumps 1979-80 Flyersby Adam Kimelman
Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren played a significant role on the Flyers' record-setting 1979-80 team that went 35 straight games without a loss (25 wins, 10 ties).
But when he watches the Chicago Blackhawks, who have opened this season on a 24-game streak without a regulation loss (21-0-3) and have gone 30 straight games without a regulation loss (24-0-6) dating to the end of the 2011-12 season, he knows which team is more impressive.
The Blackhawks.
"It's probably a more difficult task now because of the parity in the League," Holmgren, who had nine goals and 12 assists in 33 games during the Flyers' streak, told NHL.com. "There were teams [in 1979-80] that weren't great. The parity in the League today makes it very difficult to do what they're doing and makes it more incredible than anything.
"It's a different era. I think what they've done … it's a more difficult thing to do today."
The 1979-80 team was a mix of members of the Flyers' Stanley Cup-winning teams, among them Bobby Clarke, Bill Barber and Reggie Leach, mixed with younger players Holmgren, who was 25 that season; Brian Propp, who was a 20-year-old rookie; and Ken Linseman, who was 21. Splitting time in goal was 22-year-old rookie Pete Peeters and Phil Myre, who was in his 11th season.
The Flyers' streak team also had 11 players score game-winning goals; this season's Blackhawks have seen 13 players finish as the hero. Chicago also has successfully mixed holdovers from the 2010 championship team -- Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp, Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook among them -- with a mix of hungry youngsters Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw, Viktor Stalberg and Nick Leddy.
"They've got a good team, first off," Holmgren said of the Blackhawks. "They've been fortunate enough to be healthy. I know they started with a fairly long road trip, they got a lot of road games out of the way early. If you have some success early on the road, it kind of steamrolls. Everything is going well for them. They got Patrick Sharp out for their next game [but] the young players they have in the organization, mixed with the good older players they've got, they've got a good team."
Holmgren said if the Blackhawks are able to push their streak to match or better his Flyers team, he'll welcome those players with open arms.
"I think it's cool for the game," he said.

"Google's quest to guess what we want before we want it has produced an unusual side effect: a disparity in the results the company presents about the presidential candidates. A Wall Street Journal examination found that the search engine often customizes the results of people who have recently searched for 'Obama' - but not those who have recently searched for 'Romney'." A confirmation bias' wet dream, this. The confirmation bias is already one of the root psychological causes of much of the problems in the world as it is - we really shouldn't have technology companies make it worse. Technology - and more specifically, the internet - should fight this bias, not affirm it.

In America we hold a consumer's power of choice at the checkout line nearly as sacred as that of a voter at the ballot box. In November, California voters will be asked to protect the right of food buyers to make informed purchases.
Passing Proposition 37 could change the future of food in this country. The initiative is rooted in a simple premise: Consumers have the right to know if their food is produced using genetic engineering, which manipulates DNA or transfers it from one organism to another. Any plant or animal food product with genes that have been engineered would be so labeled.
This isn't a radical new idea. It's been standard practice in all member countries of the European Union for years. The latest published research shows that 61 countries have some form of mandatory labeling for foods containing genetically modified crop ingredients.
The companies that sell genetically modified seeds and manufactured foods argue that American consumers don't need such detailed labels. They say, "Just trust us."

This series is aimed at programming language aficionados. There's a lot of very abstract writing about programming languages and a lot of simple minded "language X sux!" style blog posts by people who know next to nothing about programming. What I feel is sorely missing is a kind of article that deliberately sacrifices the last 10% of precision that make the theoretical articles dry and long winded but still makes a point and discusses the various trade offs involved. This series is meant to fill that void and hopefully start a lot of discussions that are more enlightening than the articles themselves. I will point out some parallels in different parts of computing that I haven't seen mentioned as well as analyze some well known rules of thumb and link to interesting blogs and articles.

Stupid observation you probably already know: while a lot of Math and Physics researchers usually do a lot of programming, and often become fairly well-versed in one language or another, it usually isn't C. Fortran is common, and you see your Perl users and Python users, and Ada, for people doing government work. It's not really surprising that someone who's in some other, non-CS field wouldn't be good with C, or other curly-bracket languages.

That is so sweet! thanks! i hadn't even noticed that my credits were lacking! LOL
Fixed problem with free daily credits
Thankyou very much
Thank you! Love this site - you guys are fabulous!
Thanks for all you do for us here; keeping a watchful eye over everything working properly is such a huge job! We appreciate you!!
Thanks everyone for all the support
Thanks so much
Could I have those extra credits, Jordan? Thankyouuu.
Hi Aprill... this is a thread about a problem from three months ago... did you also have a problem with your free daily credits recently?
yes. Jordan. I logged in everyday and download the kits. How come I still didn't get any free daily credits? I don't understand. Thankyou for your attention, Jordan.
Hi April, I just checked your account, and you currently have 18 free download credits in your account. Because download credits do not accumulate, you need to use all of those credits before you will receive more free daily credits. Does that make sense? Please see the help topics about download credits at http://www.pixelscrapper.com/help
I'm not sure if anyone else is having the issue but i lost my download credits, and didn't get to download, ..I signed in this morning (Australia time Sunday morning 25th May) i had my credits i chose an item to download selected the commercial choice then pressed the download button, it sat for a little bit like it was going to download, but then I got a page that said it could not connect, so I tried again, the same thing happened, so I came back out of that item to look at some others thinking it might have been a site time out and try again later for it when I noticed that my credits had been used up so I logged out and back in to see if that would fix the problem and bring the credits back but alas no
Debra: You should be able to redownload the item for free (up to seven days, I believe)
If it's not showing where you have permission to download it for free again. Please post a copy to the item and when Jordan or Marisa get a chance checking in from their vacation. I will get them to look at it and see what happened and replace your credits for that day if we need to. Please let me know how it looks for you today.
Thanks Shawna

The Story of Houston's Beer Can House
I spent this past weekend in Houston, reveling in some of the city's more artistic sites. I meandered around The Menil Collection and its surrounding campus, taking in its fantastic contemporary art collection and enjoying the beautiful grounds. I took a restful stroll through the beautifully manicured Bayou Bend, reveling in the lushness and serenity there. But if I had to pick one place in Houston that was my favorite, it would certainly be The Beer Can House.
The artist and homeowner, John Milkovisch, began work on the grounds in 1968, but it became his full-time work in 1976 when he retired from his career as an upholsterer at the Southern Pacific Railroad. He began by slowly paving and tiling the front and back yards of the house (he hated mowing the grass), incorporating his massive glass marble collection as a decorative element.
But marbles weren't the only item John stashed away. He despised waste, and had been saving empty beer cans for about 17 years. Not knowing just quite what he would do with them, he slowly figured it out, one step at a time. He began deconstructing the cans, experimenting with tiling patterns and stringing together the caps and bottoms to make a decorative garland.
Not only did John, his wife Mary and their children have the most unique house on the block, this new aluminum siding and beer can garland seriously cut back on the energy consumption of the home. The garland not only provides window shade from the Texas heat, but it sings a beautiful and unexpected song as the breeze blows past. Though John and Mary are no longer with us, I could almost hear their laughter and warmth asking me to have a seat, stay a while and have another beer.

* St. Patrick's Day Sensory Box
Today's post is another goodie from my 2011 archives, enjoy!
I decided the girls needed a St. Patrick's Day Sensory Box.
I made some mini peg-doll Leprechauns for the box.
Note: I buy my unpainted wooden peg dolls from the craft store (JoAnnes or Michaels)
We re-cycled our dry green Split Peas (from our Fall Sensory Box) as the green ground.
Then, added some Dollar Tree faux mossy rocks (from our Fairy Land basket),
some glass green "gems" from our gems and jewels stash,
and some glittery shamrocks and foam shamrock stickers
(left over from a St. Patrick's Day craft my mom taught
at a retirement center years ago - thanks mom!)
The little wooden rainbow over there on the left
is leftover from our homemade wooden toy making adventure
last winter. I like the way the girls lined up the gold coins
to make a path/walk way through the land.
The mini cauldrons were picked up on Halloween clearance at Target
last year (2010) in anticipation of this year's Harry Potter birthday party
(that was replaced by the Pajama party instead!)
You'll recognize the golden rocks recycled from
The gold jewelry box is extra fancy according to "C"
Happy Leprechaun Gold Hunting!

Packers pick Alabama RB Eddie Lacy in 2nd round, trade out of 3rd, bring 10 picks to last day
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers picked Alabama running back Eddie Lacy on Friday in the second round of the NFL draft with the 61st overall selection, landing a player widely pegged as a prime prospect for their first-round slot.
The Packers swapped second-round spots with San Francisco, moving down six places in exchange for an early sixth-round pick from the 49ers, the 173rd overall selection, with confidence Lacy and other players they liked would still be available.
They did the same in the third round with the 49ers, sliding down five spots to acquire a seventh-round pick, the 216th selection. Then general manager Ted Thompson traded out of that spot, too, giving Miami the 93rd pick.
In return, they received selections numbering 109 (fourth round), 146 (fifth round) and 224 (seventh round) from the Dolphins. That gave Thompson and the Packers a whopping 10 picks for the final four rounds on Saturday: two in the fourth, three in the fifth, two in the sixth and three in the seventh.
The 5-foot-11, 230-pound Lacy finished with a career average of 6.77 yards per rush, the most among active players last year in major college football, but he fell all the way down the board to the second-to-last spot in the second round.
There were concerns about his health, a hamstring problem that prevented him from participating in the NFL pre-draft combine in February and working out for scouts until a couple of weeks ago on the Alabama campus. His performance was considered a disappointment. But Lacy, on a conference call with Wisconsin reporters, said he couldn't worry about why he fell so far.
"At the end of the day it is what it is," said Lacy, a native of Louisiana who rushed for 1,322 yards and 17 touchdowns last season. "You can't do anything about it, and I'm just looking forward to being part of a new team and contributing as much as I can."
Lacy said he's never had hamstring trouble before this.
"It took a while to heal, longer than we expected. But as of right now, I'm 100 percent," Lacy said.
The Packers could use a powerful workhorse-style runner like Lacy, who helped lead the Crimson Tide to the national championship in January. The only other tailbacks on the roster are DuJuan Harris, James Starks and Alex Green. Combined, those three have six seasons on the roster and 1,608 career yards rushing.
"I'm a bigger guy, a tough runner, a physical runner. That's just natural. But I'm also shifty and I can make defenders miss and also break long runs. I just feel like I can do anything," said Lacy, who was in New York for the first night of the draft. He said he turned on his phone as soon as he landed in Alabama on Friday, and the Packers were calling.
Director of college scouting Brian Gutekunst said the Packers also like Wisconsin running back Montee Ball "a lot" as well, but they took advantage of the opportunity to add an extra pick with confidence they'd still be able to get a player they wanted. Gutekunst said the Packers weren't concerned about Lacy's durability.
"He's played through whatever he's had, so I don't think it's going to be a concern," Gutekunst said, adding: "He has kind of an uncanny knack to get out of trouble for a guy his size. He's a little bit different than we've had maybe in the past. He's a really good player. He's been a good player there the whole time even though he's been behind some very good backs. I think he gives us a little bit of size we haven't had for a while. You watch the film, he rarely goes down with one guy trying to tackle him."
Lacy played behind Trent Richardson and Mark Ingram, both first-round draft picks, before getting his time to shine last season.
Ball went to Denver at No. 58. Giovani Bernard of North Carolina and Le'Veon Bell of Michigan State went earlier in the second round. This was the first time since 1963 that a running back wasn't selected in the first round of the draft. But Lacy now has his opportunity to prove all those teams that passed on him wrong, much like quarterback Aaron Rodgers after he tumbled down the board to the Packers in 2005.
"It was a very long wait. It was very nerve-racking for me," Lacy said on a conference call with reporters. He added: "That's going to be a big motivation."

Pasta Primavera with Asparagus and Poached Egg, Locavore Style
And I'll find just about any excuse to eat fresh pasta, especially when the entire dish features ingredients that I've sourced locavore-style. I have a thing for oozy poached eggs, and using them as a topper for pastas and salads provides little extra protein and brilliant orange color.
I wrote a feature about this recipe which appears in the May, 2008 issue Sauce Magazine, which I had posted recently but have removed for copyright reasons - instead, you can read the full story on the Sauce website.
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, softened at room temperature
2 tablespoons heavy cream
¼ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Finely grated zest and juice from half a lemon
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch asparagus, stems trimmed and sliced into 2-inch pieces
9 ounces fresh fettuccine or tagliatelle pasta
4 soft-poached quail eggs*
1. Arrange the prosciutto on a small baking sheet and roast in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until crisp. Cool slightly and break into pieces. (prepare up to one day ahead - keep in a covered container at room temperature)
2. Crumble the goat cheese into a large mixing bowl. Add the cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano, lemon zest, juice, salt and pepper to taste and stir until smooth.
3. Bring 5 quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan and add 1 tablespoon salt. Drop in asparagus and cook until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes. Remove asparagus with a slotted spoon and add to the goat cheese mixture. Add pasta to the pan and cook 1 - 2 minutes, or according to directions. Scoop out a ladleful of pasta water (about 1/3 cup) and pour it into the goat cheese mixture, stirring to melt cheese and make a smooth sauce. Drain pasta and toss with the goat cheese until evenly coated with sauce.
4. Divide pasta between two serving bowls. Top with poached eggs and sprinkle with prosciutto.
Serves 2
* To poach eggs, bring a small skillet full of water to a simmer. Add a tablespoon of plain white vinegar. Crack eggs into the pan; keeping heat at a steady simmer (not boiling), cook eggs until whites are firm and yolks are just set, about 2 minutes for quail eggs and 4 minutes for chicken eggs. Remove with a slotted spoon.

The existence of climate change is undeniable, and the battle for resources rages more fiercely than ever before. A complete change of the attitude towards energy consumption is needed. The "capitalistic way of live" and "sustainable development" have proven to be wholly incompatible. That is why the EL created the working group on Energy and Climate Policies, to show that there are alternatives, to fight against so-called "clean and safe atomic energy", and to point out the direct relations between energy, security and democracy.

Age: 29
Occupation: Attorney/first-time film producer Residence: Hendersonville Family: Wife (Brittany), sisters (Lauren and Caroline), and parents (David and Deanna)
How long have you been an attorney with Prince, Youngblood & Massagee in Hendersonville, and what type of law do you practice?
I started working with PYM in May 2012, so a little over a year. I practice primarily criminal defense and civil litigation. I trained in school as a litigator, meaning that I handle contested cases filed in the courts, so I'm comfortable handling a wide range of cases in different areas of the law.
Where did you go to school?
I grew up in Hendersonville and went to Immaculata and Flat Rock Middle. I went to boarding school in Tennessee before heading to Wake Forest for undergrad and the University of Mississippi for law school.
How did you make your way back to Hendersonville?
My wife and I moved to Nashville, Tenn., following graduation, where we stayed and worked for two years. When we really looked at our future plans, Hendersonville made a lot of sense from both a professional and personal perspective.
I interned with PYM during law school, so I was excited to come back to Hendersonville to work with their attorneys, and Brittany and I look forward to raising children in Hendersonville. So far, I have greatly enjoyed meeting and working with the other members of the Henderson County Bar and experiencing Henderson County from a different perspective.
Recently, you produced an independent film shot in Hendersonville. What is the movie about?
The film is titled "Shadows on the Wall," and it's a science-fiction suspense film centering on Palmer Marshall, a college student who invents a machine which has the potential to revolutionize the way humans communicate with each other.
Palmer quickly realizes, however, that the unanticipated consequences of his new technology are frightening, and he has to work to keep bad things from happening as a result. A very talented actor named Chris Kauffmann plays Palmer, and equally talented Tim Fox and Nicole Durant play Palmer's cousin, Chase, and his friend, Alice.
The film was directed by Ben Carland, produced by The Obsidian Collective, and is in post-production right now, meaning that the editing, sound and visual effects are being completed. We anticipate a fall 2013 completion and release.
What skills as an attorney did you bring to the table as a producer?
The director needed someone who was able to coordinate with local business owners, government officials and secure the rights to film in various places in Henderson and Buncombe counties. Additionally, there was a considerable amount of paperwork necessary to make sure that the entire film process was protected — cast and crew contracts, location releases, volunteer and extra releases, and general legal work to secure rights with various companies.
We have already begun the process of communicating with distribution companies and studios for when the film is completed, and I anticipate that my negotiating skills will come into play when we begin shopping the film for release.
What locations did you use in the film, and how long did it take to shoot?
We shot for roughly five weeks around Henderson and Buncombe counties. We spent most of the time in the Grey Hosiery Mill in Hendersonville, but we filmed in a few local businesses, as well as exterior shots of the beautiful Western North Carolina mountains.
How did you get into film?
I have known the director for years and was aware of his 2009 feature film, "Sol." He approached me about being involved with "Shadows on the Wall," and I was excited to jump on board. I've been a film fan my whole life, and I thought this was a terrific opportunity to experience the film process from the inside-out.
Although this was my first foray into film production, we're very optimistic that it won't be the last. We've already begun the process of developing our next project.
What is the most thrilling and challenging part of filmmaking?
For me, it was thrilling seeing something develop from writing on a page, through the organization of pre-production, to seeing live actors bring the words to life. Even now, when I see parts of the movie during the editing process, I get excited because the final product is such a creative, vibrant interpretation of what that original script was.
I think that the organization of the whole process was most challenging, and I didn't even have the hardest part of the job. I respect the amount of work that went into the daily planning for what scene was shooting, what costumes had to be prepared, the light needed, time constraints and all the details that we take for granted when we watch a film.
Once filming started, I was really just a sideline guy — I was there when the production needed something, but Carland, Nick Gillespie (cinematographer), Mel Soria (first assistant director), Chase Livengood (assistant camera operator) and Alex Vieira (gaffer) did an outstanding job wrangling all of the people and objects that had to be handled through the whole process.
What advice would you give to people interested in working on a film?
There are so many projects, ranging from very big to very small, and every single one of them offers actors, directors and producers the opportunity to get better. If you had asked me two years ago whether I would produce a film, I would've told you that you were crazy.
But when the opportunity presented itself, especially the opportunity to contribute my abilities as an attorney, I was quick to take advantage. And if opportunities don't present themselves, then make your own — the world needs more independent projects made by people who really care about their craft.

"The deepest black", the new videoclip of REMAINS IN A VIEW has been released on Beheading The Traitor! Check out the video below:
The videoclip was directed and shooted by Daniele Campea (already at work with various films, short films and on videoclips for bands like No More Fear) and screeplayed by Antonio Secondo.
"We think that "The deepest black" is the most suitable song to represent "Elegies".
In addition of being one of the most varied song of the disc, the lyrics well suited to be transposed on film. When the human mind isn't nourished, ignorance will prevail, obscuring it, creating illusions and false myths – The sun of culture is the only mean to free our selves from the coils of this deepest black. In this sense the Plato's myth of the cave, which we reinterpreted in the video, it's been an excellent source of inspiration".
Trailer available at:
The song is included in the new album "Elegies", available in all digital stores and in physical version at http://www.remainsinaview.bigcartel.com/

Goodenow, a former standout at Nashville's Overton High School, will enroll in graduate school at Lipscomb for his final year of eligibility.
"Lipscomb was one of my top choices," Goodenow said. "It is a real good school. It is close to home. It has a good baseball program. It is a good opportunity for me to come here."
Used primarily as a reliever in his career with the Commodores, Goodenow will be given a chance to earn a spot in the weekend pitching rotation as a starter.
"I'm excited about the opportunity," Goodenow said. "It is something I will work for. I just want to help out the team any way I can. "I think I am a real good teammate. I am going to compete in any circumstances. My best pitch is my slider."
Goodenow, 6-foot-2, 202 pounds, started one time in 31 appearances for the Commodores last season. But that lone start, only the second of his college career, was against Louisville in the NCAA Regional Tournament. Expected to give the Commodores three or four innings of pitching, Goodenow threw a complete game, allowing only two hits on the way to a 7-0 shutout. It was his longest outing of the season eclipsing his 4.2 innings of relief work against Oklahoma State Feb. 28.
The win kept the Commodores postseason drive alive for another day. They would beat Louisville one more time and advance to the Super Regional.
Based on Goodenow's performance in that game Forehand is encouraged about the prospects of having an experienced pitcher as a possible addition to the starting rotation.
"I think everybody comes in and the roles kind of define themselves during the fall," Forehand said. "I would think as Richie comes in that he is looking to push for one of those starting spots. Based on the Louisville game you would think he is capable of being a starter. We hope he can come in and solidify our staff on weekends.
"We are excited about what he brings whether it is in a relief role or a starting role. He has pitched in every role at Vanderbilt for set up to closer and he started that huge regional game. He is just a good baseball player. "
Goodenow finished the season with a 3-1 record and one save. In 44.1 innings he gave up 31 hits and struck out 47. His earned run average was 2.23. Opposing batters posted a .207 batting average against him, the lowest for a Vanderbilt pitcher.
"He has pitched against us a couple of times and we didn't have much success against him," Forehand said. "He has pretty good velocity from the left side. The slider is definitely the out pitch for him.
"You can't teach experience. He has had experience, not in our league but in the Southeastern Conference, arguably the toughest conference in the country. We think that will translate into good things for us."
Goodenow red-shirted at Vanderbilt during the 2007 season. He has also served as a designated hitter for the Commodores. "He wants to be here," Forehand said. "He wants to help our team."
Goodenow has known Forehand for many years. Goodenow's brother, Ryan, worked with a snack food company that supplied the Trevecca Nazarene baseball concession stands when Forehand was the coach there. Goodenow had just signed with the Commodores.
"It is funny how paths cross," Forehand said. "We got to know him by buying snacks for the concession stand. Now he has the chance to come over here and play for us."
Forehand stressed that the decision by Goodenow was received well by Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin.
"I talked with Tim on the phone to make sure there were no hard feelings," Forehand said. "I wanted our professional relationship and friendship to be stable.
"Coach Corbin understood that Richie had to go. He had nothing but great things to say about Richie not only as a good player on the field but as a person. He will be one of our hardest workers and, hopefully, one of our leaders."

There is no disagreement on how important the sailing ship Amistad — which carried slaves from Cuba along America's Atlantic coast — is to the history of the abolitionist movement or to Connecticut. The modern-day, 129-foot replica of Amistad, which state taxpayers have spent millions of dollars to build and maintain, is the embodiment of a story that has all the elements to galvanize and teach our students about the struggles that surrounded the quest for equality.
Unfortunately, Amistad America Inc., the nonprofit group charged with operating the replica ship, has foundered in recent years and is out of money. The Amistad, instead of being in Connecticut waters as was required by a now-expired contract, has been berthed in Maine during summer months and currently is in Puerto Rico for the making of a movie. All this while state overseers continued to send $375,000 to $475,000 a year to the sinking organization.
The failure to hold the Amistad organization's operators accountable to the state must be remedied and all agreements must be brought up to date and enforced. A long-overdue audit, recently ordered by the governor's budget office, should begin to give the state a clear idea of Amistad America's condition.
I have long championed results-based accountability in the General Assembly. This model focuses on data-informed decision-making. The lack of data surrounding any decisions regarding the Amistad is shocking. In fact, had the Amistad been under the auspices of the Results Based Accountability subcommittee of Appropriations, we would have caught this financial meltdown in 2007.
A review of the directed local funds application, which Amistad American Inc. had to file each year with the Department of Economic and Community Development, revealed some disturbing problems. The application asks: How will this funding benefit the citizens of Connecticut? Describe how you will evaluate the success of the activities? Presumably the answers would provide some information on the fiscal health of the organization.
What did I find? I found sections of the application, which is used to justify continued funding of Amistad, were copied and pasted from year to year — a 2009 report still contained the year 2007 in the narrative. Whoever prepared the application hadn't bothered to change the date. Even a cursory review would have revealed this immediately. I can only conclude that no one at DECD was reading these reports.
Had Amistad America Inc. been under the auspices of the Results Based Accountability Subcommittee of Appropriations, it would have had to answer three simple questions: How much did you do? How well did you do it? And is anyone better off? Succinct, transparent and accountable.
As it is, the directed local fund reports as written make it difficult to even find verifiable data points. Claims made about activities in one year are not verified in the next year. In my review, it was very clear that there were major financial problems in 2007 and it got worse. And yet, we just kept giving the Amistad organization state funds.
I also found what appears to be an endowment, which was spent. In reviewing the paperwork, I can only conclude that it paid for a trip across the Atlantic to Sierra Leone because the Amistad had run out of money. While there, they apparently appealed to a local organization for a grant to get home, which this private organization very rightly denied.
I then examined minutes from Amistad's board of directors meetings. More bad news. Board members were not attending meetings, Amistad was being sued by Voytech their former web master, TD Bank also sued the organization and put a lien on the boat, NBC planned on altering the boat to appear more like a 1700s pirate vessel for the TV show "Crossbones," including removing radar, lighting cables, windlass, anchor chain, lifeboats and building up the stern with a "house."
This altering of the boat is particularly disturbing when the minutes note in regard to the Amistad's insurance "the current contract restricts Amistad's operating in waters south of specified latitude during hurricane season which includes the filming location (Puerto Rico) … and the current provider is dropping coverage of the Amistad as current in force contracts expire."
But most egregious of all is that Amistad failed to pay a small business owner who had delivered T-shirts in good faith. Debra Bilda kept meticulous records of her efforts to get paid. She even received an encouraging letter, but no money. Her business helps to form an economic web in southeast Connecticut. The bills date back to 2007. Corporations sued to get their money. All Debra got was sleepless nights.
The bottom line? We cannot afford any lack of accountability for taxpayers' dollars. Amistad America needs to be brought back on course and tough accountability standards can do just that. It is time to for the state to steer the flagship of Connecticut back to safe, home port waters.
Editor's note: This story was corrected from an earlier version, which erroneously said the Amistad carried slaves from Africa to America instead of from Cuba along the Atlantic coast.

The "CONNECTRIX" System expands connectivity possibilities utilizing a unique panel cutout detail and an array of standard and new isolated connectors. This system provides more connectors and mounting options in stock ACE panels. The benefit is fast order turn around and lower cost than a custom punched panel. The look of custom fabricated panels with off-the-shelf stock prices and immediate delivery. The "CONNECTRIX" Pocket Panels (#MP-100, #PNL-100, #PNL-120, #PNL-140) are flat and strong. The Panels are made from high strength aluminum alloy (6061-T6) that is .062" thick.
The "CONNECTRIX" Pocket Panels are machined, powder coated, and in stock for immediate delivery. The panels may be preloaded with "CONNECTRIX" connectors and engraved with your specifications, creating a unique, customized panel with a short delivery time.
Using the "CONNECTRIX" System Panel it is possible to mount various combinations of "CONNECTRIX" Connectors without a single custom punch. By implementing the #C-15100, #C-25100, or #C-26100 Series of connectors, ACE can create a custom Stage Pocket Panel that will work in most any installation applications. Connectors are loaded into panels using black, aluminum pop rivets. You may also choose to have your connectors loaded with removable machine screws and locking nuts, for a nominal fee. All ACE "CONNECTRIX" System Panels will mount separately or in combination in all ACE Stage Pockets.
Many pre-cut stock #MP-100, #PNL-100, #PNL-120, and #PNL-140 Series "CONNECTRIX" System Connector Panels are stocked and available for immediate loading and engraving. Standard "CONNECTRIX" Panels are created from high strength, tough, aircraft aluminum alloy (6061-T6) that is 1/16" (.062") thick. The standard panels mount with (4 or 6) self-tapping screws. Each panel is CNC machined to precisely mate with the designated connectors and in the pocket mounting holes. Each Standard "CONNECTRIX" Panel is finished with oven cured semi-gloss black powder coat.
Most panels provide header space for custom engraving which is fast and easily accomplished on a separate dedicated CNC engraving machine. The finished panels show bright aluminum in the engraved characters and need not be back filled. ACE standard panels are flat, strong, and rigid like the typical thinner mild steel panels. Because the panels are machined and not punched they stay flat and undistorted unlike punched panels which distort in the punching process. The machined "CONNECTRIX" cutouts combine popular mounting patterns of the Neutrik® "D" series and Switchcraft® "E" series connectors with a generous rectangular cutout that mates with a growing array of adapter-mounted standard connectors. The adapter mount is plastic and provides ground isolation between the panel and connector.
Using the "CONNECTRIX" system panel it is possible to mount any combination of modular jacks (RJ45, RJ11 etc.), BNCs, dual RCAs, mic jacks, speaker jacks and numerous other standard connectors without a single custom punch. This system provides for more connectors and mounting options in stock standard ACE panels. The benefit is faster order turn around and lower cost. Less custom fabrication for custom spec results with off-the-shelf stock prices.

This is a follow-up to my post about the Okinawan Karate & Kobudo Encyclopedia.
The book was published by Kashiwashobo in Tokyo, Japan. The encyclopedia is shown on the opening page of the company's website. There is also an order page specifically for the encyclopedia at:
The only problem is that these pages are in Japanese. I have not found an English page yet and automatic translation services are pretty rough. I would not want to base an order on such a translation. However, if you read Japanese, you should be able to order from the above page.
I believe that the encyclopedia is 15,000 Yen. I do not know how much shipping would be, but the encyclopedia is quite heavy.
This is a must have book for any Karate collection or library.

The North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is spearheading a weekly series of protests at the state legislature called �Moral Mondays� directed against Republican-supported bills such as tax reform and voter ID.

The need for remedial education on the principles of self-government became apparent during the May 13 protest. One participant held up a sign stating, �This is what Democracy looks like!� And Rev. William Barber, head of the state NAACP chapter, remarked that the state capitol police �should not be arresting us. You should thank us for having the courage to tell it like it is.�
Uh, no. While robust political debate and colorful protests are just fine, attempting to block elected lawmakers from entering their chambers to conduct legislative business � which is how the Monday protests conclude before the police move in � is precisely the opposite of democracy.
Some participants argue that the Republican-led legislature is illegitimate because of gerrymandering, so blocking its operation isn�t undemocratic. Sorry, that won�t wash. Most North Carolinians voted for GOP legislative candidates in 2012. The resulting majorities were clearly exaggerated by the tilt of the legislative districts, but Republican control was a democratic outcome.
By contrast, there really were periods during both the Hunt administration of the 1990s and the Easley administration of the 2000s when Democrats controlled legislative chambers despite the fact that Republican candidates had received more votes. Sometimes the culprit was gerrymandering. Sometimes it was criminal activity (e.g. bribery by former House Speaker Jim Black, now a convicted felon).
Did those who populate today�s �Moral Mondays� conduct similar demonstrations against these past outrages? Did they seek to block the policies that resulted � tax hikes, Medicaid expansions, new social programs, etc. � as fruits from a poison tree?
Of course not. They liked what the Democrats were doing back then. They don�t like what the Republicans are doing now. The protests aren�t about process. They are ideological and partisan, period.
As to Rev. Barber�s point about arresting the demonstrators: I like him personally and respect his right to speak. I would have interpreted his comments as an attempt at humor, except that some of his allies have also seriously argued that protesters disrupting the General Assembly�s business shouldn�t be arrested.
Such sentiments are inconsistent with civil disobedience as originally conceived. Gandhi urged his supporters to protest injustice �by breaking the law and by peacefully submitting to arrest and imprisonment.� Martin Luther King Jr. put it this way: �An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.�
To use your body to obstruct the operation of government, and then to object when the police arrest and charge you for the crime, is to engage in uncivil disobedience. It is to hold yourself above your fellow citizens as a self-appointed moral arbiter. It is contemptuous, not persuasive.
Arrests are indispensable to effective civil disobedience. First, they generate media coverage. Over the years, I�ve witnessed and sometimes participated in large demonstrations at the General Assembly � involving crowds of 1,000 or more � that got only a small fraction of the attention the relatively paltry �Moral Monday� turnouts have received. The difference is that other protests didn�t involve criminal trespass and arrest.
Second, the general public may come to agree with protestors about a particular controversy, and express their newfound beliefs at the ballot box. But the public will never sanction lawlessness. They�ll never accept the idea that a few activists have the right to shut down the General Assembly without taking legal responsibility for their actions.
In their own interest, the protestors ought to take me up on my �Teachable Tuesday� offer, refreshments included.

Hyperaldosteronismis a disorderin which the
Hyperaldosteronism can be primary or secondary.
Alternative Names
Conn syndrome; Mineralocorticoid excess
Primary hyperaldosteronism is due to a problem of the adrenal glands themselves, causing them to release too much aldosterone. In contrast, with secondary hyperaldosteronism, the adrenal glands release too much aldosterone as a result of a problem elsewhere in the body. These problems can be with genes, diet, or a medical disorder such as with the heart, liver, kidneys, or high blood pressure.
Most cases of primary hyperaldosteronism are caused by a noncancerous (benign) tumor of the adrenal gland. The condition is most common in people 30 to 50 years old.
Primary and secondary hyperaldosteronism have common symptoms, including:
Fatigue Headache Muscle weakness Numbness Paralysisthat comes and goes
Exams and Tests
Tests that may be ordered to diagnose hyperaldosteronism include:
Abdominal CT scan ECG Plasma aldosteronelevel Plasma renin activity Serum potassiumlevel Urinary aldosterone
A procedure to insert a catheter into the veins of the adrenal glands may need to be done. This helps check whichof the two adrenal glands is making too much aldosterone.
This disease may also affect the results of the following tests:
Blood bicarbonate Blood magnesium Blood sodium Urine potassium Urine sodium
Primary hyperaldosteronism caused by an adrenal gland
Limiting how much salt intake and taking medicine may control the symptoms without surgery. Medicines to treat hyperaldosteronism include:
- Drugs that block the action of aldosterone
- Diuretics (water pills), which help manage fluid buildup in the body
Secondary hyperaldosteronism is treated with medicines (as described above) and limiting salt intake.Surgery is not used.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outlook for primary hyperaldosteronism is good with early diagnosis and treatment.
The outlook for secondary hyperaldosteronism depends on the cause of the condition.
Possible Complications
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of hyperaldosteronism.

Lab-based exchange projects supported through our Thematic Network in Spatial Cognition (TNSC) via an NSF SAVI award supplement
SILC recently was awarded a SAVI supplement from NSF for international networking to help create a global community of spatial cognition researchers. One goal of the grant is to support five researchers each year to engage in a lab-based exchange. We have selected the following five individuals for visits in the first year. Congratulations to all five! Here are their projects.
Design Intentions in Urban Planning and (Re)construction
Awardee/Collaborator: Mehul Bhatt, University of Bremen, Germany
Host/Collaborator: Helen Couclelis, University of California, Santa Barbara
Aim. This research aims at initiating a broad-based dialogue on developing a framework for modelling and reasoning about design intentions in the context of urban planning, people-centred design of urban environments, and geospatial urban dynamics at arbitrary time-scales. The temporal scope of our urban narratives encompasses generational change, and extends all the way to the scale of everyday 'life in the city'.
We investigate the underpinnings of an interdisciplinary ontology of design intentions encompassing not only functional, economic, and logistical considerations, but more importantly, also with respect to social and humanistic values, and human responsibilities and rights from the viewpoint of an anticipated 'future urbanism'. We propose to embed the ensuing research considerations within the framework of 'universal design – design for all' principles.
Approach. The study will elaborate on the ontological and methodological aspects of incorporating design intentions in urban planning, and will also identify interdisciplinary synergies with concrete use-cases and urban design objectives occurring in that context. We especially focus on sociologically-driven design and planning objectives relevant to the chosen case-study; aspects such as health and well-being, socio-economic segregation, disparity in resource distribution will be emphasized. Founded on the established framework, we seek to identify a range of analytical capabilities that urban planners and engineers could consult in the pursuit of urban design goals, optimising design outcomes, and for analysing the impact of design choices in the real world. Our study will draw upon empirical evidence-based research in environmental and social psychology.
Interdisciplinary Scope. The research builds on our respective interests, expertise, and ongoing projects on the topics of urban geography, geospatial modelling, spatio-temporal dynamics, spatial cognition and computation, design, and computational design analysis. Our research spans urban geography, social science, design, cognition, and environmental psychology.
Impact. The research aims to deliver a scientific manifesto underscoring the essential "why" and"what for" questions seeking to inspire engineering-based development and implementation of computational models and assistive technologies for urban design, and governmental policy formation and decision-making. The outcomes will set the stage for small-scale research and development activities, e.g., especially serving as a basis for the development of technologically oriented work in urban planning and design.

Spatial Exploration in Individuals with Left Neglect
Awardee/Collaborator: Peii Chen, Kessler Foundation Research Center
Host/Collaborator: Hans-Otto Karnath, University of Tuebingen, Germany
Dr. Peii Chen, junior research faculty at the Kessler Foundation Research Center, West Orange, New Jersey, is awarded with a great opportunity of the lab-embedded scholarly exchange program in 2013. Prof. Hans-Otto Karnath will host Chen's visit in his laboratory at the Center of Neurology, University of Tuebingen, Germany. Through this program, Chen, Karnath and his team will work closely together on the topic of spatial exploration. The collaboration will enhance communication between neurology and a developing field, neurocognitive rehabilitation, to understand neurological disorders of spatial cognition and to inspire promising treatments. The project will be focused on spatial neglect, a disabling neurocognitive disorder that commonly occurs after a unilateral brain injury such as a stroke. Individuals with spatial neglect typically bias toward the ipsilesional side of space, causing serious problems in self care, navigation, social interaction, and leisure activities. The figure shows a drawing performance of a right-brain-damaged stroke survivor copying pictures (from left to right: two trees, house, and two trees).
The contribution of gestures to spatial memory and navigation
Awardee/Collaborator: Alexia Galati, University of Cyprus
Host/Collaborator: Nora S. Newcombe (SILC PI) and Steve Weisberg, Temple University
Collaborator: Marios Avraamides, University of Cyprus
People often spontaneously produce gestures while reading or listening to route directions, presumably because these gestures help them construct a representation of the described path. This is consistent with findings that gestures can highlight and structure spatiomotor information in problem solving (Alibali, Spencer, Knox, & Kita, 2011), particularly for novices in STEM fields (Liben, Christensen, & Kastens, 2010), and can facilitate spatial visualization in mental rotation tasks (Chu & Kita, 2011). With the SAVI award, Alexia Galati from the University of Cyprus will be visiting Temple University to collaborate, along with Marios Avraamides (University of Cyprus), with Nora S. Newcombe (SILC PI) and Steve Weisberg on a project that directly examines the contribution of gestures on people's resulting spatial representations and subsequent navigation performance. Participants will first study route directions, which in some conditions will be accompanied by cues highlighting the described changes in orientation—for instance, participants will be instructed to perform gestures congruent with the turn, or see an arrow indicating the described turn. Their representation of the described environment will be examined through map drawings and their navigation performance will be assessed as they use a joystick to reach the destination within a virtual environment of the city (Virtual SILCton). The study aims to establish whether gestures confer an advantage in navigation performance and to clarify whether such an advantage is due to perceptual reinforcement of relevant information (the described turns), sensorimotor simulation of the navigated route, or a general offloading of working memory.

Spatial and Social Cognitive Processes in Action and Language
Awardee/Collaborator: Amy Pace, San Diego State University
Host/Collaborator: Gergely Csibra, Central European University, Hungary
Amy Pace is a doctoral candidate in Language and Communicative Disorders at San Diego State University and University of California, San Diego. Her research investigates how spatial- and social-cognition interact to support learning in the domains of action processing and language acquisition in early childhood. Using electrophysiological as well as traditional behavioral methods, this project seeks to identify how spatial information (e.g., motion kinematics, velocity, and trajectory) and intentional cues (e.g., gaze following, referential gesture, joint-attention) work together to shape children's perception, interpretation and representation of the world. She will travel to Dr. Gergely Csibra's Cognitive Development Center at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary to learn about using near-infrared spectroscopy (optical imaging) and eye-tracking methods to measure on-line processing during spatial and social learning.

Learning Labels for Novel Events
To err is human: Landmark vs. turn reliance under conditions of route ambiguity
Awardee/Collaborator: Thora Tenbrink, Bangor University, United Kingdom
Host/Collaborator: Holly Taylor, Tufts University
Collaborator: Stephanie Gagnon, Stanford University
Collaborator: Tad Brunyé, Tufts University and US Army NSRDEC
If you ask a stranger for directions, the information may be inaccurate. In a previous study (Gagnon et al., 2012) we explored how participants respond to route directions containing conflicting landmark and turn information. Participants read route directions and then selected either a landmark-consistent or a turn-consistent location for the goal destination on a map. For example, after being informed to turn right at the gas station, they would see a gas station with a street branching off to the left rather than to the right. A street on the right would be available, but at a distance from the gas station. Would they turn left, consistent with the landmark, or (later) right, consistent with the turn information?
Results showed that when an anonymous source provided directions, participants (n=60) relied on a mix of turn and landmark information. In contrast, when participants (n=60) knew details about the source (a male or female person, more or less knowledgeable about the environment), they more strongly relied on landmark information, especially if participants had lower survey spatial preferences. Participants (n=20) similarly favored landmark information when navigating to destinations in a virtual environment, particularly when turns were farther apart. Together, these results demonstrate that people favor landmarks over turn information in relatively realistic situations. Verbal reports revealed that these findings stem from the belief that human memory for landmarks (involving visual imagery) is more reliable/salient than memory for turns (dependent on body axes).
In our future work we will further explore the ways in which human beliefs about the route giver influence their wayfinding strategies in the case of ambiguity. The next step in this line of research is to incorporate underspecified route information in more complex route descriptions. Schneider & Taylor (1999) found that indeterminate route descriptions induce a higher memory load and influence mental representations during wayfinding. Hirtle et al. (2010) examined which aspects of route directions are perceived as particularly tricky, suggesting that these tricky parts are frequently underspecified when compared to the actual environment. We will elaborate our paradigm based on these insights, so as to get a clearer understanding of the thought processes that lead to wayfinding decisions and strategies based on underspecified information.
