Dumpster Diving To Prosperity
Dumpster diving is the epitome of equal opportunity consumerism, best showcased by colleges during the bountiful, if not lucrative, weekend after graduation. The Times examined the seedy underbelly of capitalism through the lens of the freegans, who provide an unappetizing but compelling example to price-conscious consumers.
Freegans are scavengers of the developed world, living off consumer waste in an effort to minimize their support of corporations and their impact on the planet, and to distance themselves from what they see as out-of-control consumerism. They forage through supermarket trash and eat the slightly bruised produce or just-expired canned goods that are routinely thrown out, and negotiate gifts of surplus food from sympathetic stores and restaurants.
Finding furniture on the street is one thing, but we draw the line at consumables. What are your experiences and thoughts on dumpster diving? Tell us in the comments. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER

Memo: 'Limitless' security risks for Healthcare.gov
Manager kept in dark about identity-theft threat before launch
One month before the disastrous launch of Healthcare.gov, a government memo warned of a "limitless" security threat that would expose insurance buyers to identity theft.
The first deadline for fixing the problems was mid-2014 – some eight months after the website's Oct. 1 launch – and the second was early 2015, stated the Sept. 3 memo.
But that shocking information came as news to the project manager of Healthcare.gov, according to his closed-door testimony Monday to the House Oversight Committee in advance of this week's hearing.
Henry Chao, who had recommended it was safe to launch the website Oct. 1, said he hadn't seen the memo before, reported CBS News, which obtained the first look at a partial transcript of his testimony.
A Republican staff lawyer asked Chao, the project manager at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, if he found it surprising he was unaware of the memo.
"Yeah … I mean, wouldn't you be surprised if you were me?" he replied.
Chao later said that being kept in the dark about the memo, written by a senior CMS official, was "disturbing."
"I mean, I don't deny that this is … a fairly nonstandard way" to proceed, he said, according to CBS News.
'Limitless' threat
The memo, which found two high-risk issues that were redacted for security reasons, said "the threat and risk potential (to the system) is limitless."
Chao insisted he was told prior to the launch that there were no security gaps could lead to identity theft, unauthorized access and misrouted data.
Asked for comment, Health and Human Services told CBS News the privacy and security of consumers' personal information are a top priority.
The government agency insisted that consumers can trust that their information is protected by stringent security standards.
CBS News reports, however, that the author of the memo, Tony Trenkle, the lead tech officer for Healthcare.gov, retired from CMS last week under vague circumstances.
Trenkle never signed off on security for the site, CBS said. That responsibility was taken by his supervisor, CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner.
The explanation was that a project of that magnitude should bear the signature of the head of CMS.
But HotAir.com blogger Allahpundit questions the explanation, speculating that Trenkle might have refused to sign because the site's security was so bad.
He asks why the information in Trenkle's memo never made it to Chao, presuming the project manager is telling the truth.
And wouldn't Tavenner, Allahpundit asks, have seen the memo before she authorized the launch?
If so, why didn't she warn President Obama and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that the site was ready for its scheduled Oct. 1 launch?
Finally, if Trenkle was not the one who suppressed the bad news, Allahpundit asks, then do did?
Allahpundit noted Chao had warned in March that he was "nervous" about the state of Healthcare.gov's development and hoped that using the site wouldn't be "a third-world experience."
Warnings on day of launch
Meanwhile, meeting notes from the morning of Healthcare.gov's launch date show that HHS employees and the contractors were discussing flaws that included user security, the Washington Post reported last week.
The problems included the system that verifies insurance-seekers' identity, "glitches with eligibility questions," and a problem with letting people know whether they qualify for Medicaid, the Post said.
Last week, in testimony last week to a Senate panel, Tavenner said fixes had been made, and she urged Americans to go to the website.
But as WND reported, an analysis by Avalere Health has found that 12 state-based Obamacare exchanges have enrolled only about 3 percent of their expected 2014 exchange participants.
Even Obamacare supporter Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., said trust in the program is dwindling, the Post reported.
"I believe that there's been a crisis of confidence created in the dysfunctional nature of the website, the canceling of policies, and sticker shock from some people," she said. "What I worry about is that there's such a crisis of confidence, people won't enroll."

Canning recommendations?
My sister has expressed an interest in learning how to can items so I thought I'd try to get her something related to that. I saw the gift guide from last year and it mostly contained stainless steel pots and things over my budget.
I guess the first most basic item would be a cookbook anyone can recommend? I've seen a lot crop up in the past year or two and just curious if one is most renowned over another. Or any other recommendations would be great. Thank you!

About Ali Kepenek
Ali is the outsider with the inside scoop
"I have always considered myself to be an outcast, which is why I toy with this idea of outsiders or people who are considered different."
When he isn't shuttling between London and Berlin, photographer Ali Kepenek scouts for subjects that, as he describes, other photographers tend to run away from. This passion for the peculiar and perverse is found in the wide range of subjects that grace his lens: punks, beauty queens, bikers and body builders. This Turkish photographer is also not shy of blatantly manipulating his photography subjects, both during and post production phase. The result is a distorted and sometimes disturbing visual reality that will arrest viewers, opening their eyes to a new way of seeing the world. For Absolut Art, Kepenek created "Adam and Adele" to break down negative stereotypes surrounding Muslim women, in the hopes of showing the potent, complex and exciting interaction between fashion and religion.

Bulldogs Take Second
SPRINGFIELD, N.J. – Junior Lissa Roland saved the best for last. She fired a round of 73 (+1) on Sunday to climb her way up the leaderboard and claim the Ivy League Championship. The Bulldogs did their best to make a team charge, but they had dug too big a hole with their score of 328 in the first round. Yale did surpass a number of teams over the final two days, including rival Harvard, to claim second place. Penn went on to win the tournament and their first ever Ivy League Championship by a staggering 22 strokes.
Apr. 25, 2010 was already going to be a special day for Roland, as she was celebrating her 21st birthday. Little did she know just how special it was going to be.
However, Roland's day did not get off to a great start, when she double bogeyed the par 3 third. She gained a stroke back two holes later, when she birdied at the par 4 fifth. Roland made the turn at one over par and quickly birdied the 10th to get back to even. With scores being reported every four holes, by the time she reached the 13th tee, Roland knew she had surpassed everyone and was ahead by three strokes.
"I was keeping track of where I stood the whole time," said Roland. "After the 12th hole, I had a three shot lead, and I knew I was going to go all the way. I kept my mental game together and did not get nervous. I wanted to make sure I had a strong finish."
Roland kept it together for seven straight holes with seven straight pars. Heading into 18, she had a two shot lead over Isabel Han of Penn. Roland only needed bogey to win and that is exactly what she made to defeat Han by just one stroke.
"It is an amazing feeling," said Roland. "I was swinging it really well all day. I hit all the fairways and almost every green. This is just the best birthday present ever."
While Roland charged up the leaderboard, the rest of the Bulldogs were doing everything they could to help her erase the team's 20 shot deficit.
"Today was tough," said sophomore Callie Kemmer. "The rain made the course a lot longer, but we continued to improve and get more comfortable each day. After the first round, we all worked on our games to try and figure out what went wrong. We focused a lot on putting, because every team in the tournament was struggling with the greens. It is hard to catch up when you are that far back, but we gained a lot of ground on a lot of schools which we were happy about."
Kemmer had another great day for the Bulldogs, shooting a round of 75 (+3). She finished in a tie for fourth with Katie Sylvan of Harvard. Both girls finished the tournament at 15 over par. Kemmer had back-to-back bogeys on the front nine and made the turn at two over. She bogeyed the par 3 10th, but quickly made birdies at 11 and 12 to get back to one over par on the day. She remained at one over until she bogeyed 17 for the third time this weekend and then bogeyed 18.
"I've struggled with 17 and 18 all weekend," said Kemmer. "18 is one of the tougher holes on the course, but I just have not had success on either."
Junior Cassie Boles continued to improve on Sunday, dropping her score for the second day in a row and getting under 80 for the first time this tournament. Boles shot a 79 (+6) to finish in a tie for 17th. The difference for Boles was keeping double bogeys off her card. Boles had five bogeys and birdie on the front nine to make the turn at four over. She quickly birdied to the 10th to get to three over, but would bogey four more times before the end of the round.
After a big turnaround on Saturday, junior Harriet Owers-Bradley regressed a bit on Sunday. She fired an 83 (+11), but still finished in a tie for 17th. Owers-Bradley's struggles stemmed from a lack of birdies and a double bogey. She had four bogeys on the front nine and five on the back, including the double bogey at 14.
Freshman Alexandra Lipa had her best round of the tournament, but was still unable to break 80. She did, however, make quite the turnaround from front nine to back nine. Her front nine featured five bogeys bookended by double bogeys at the first and ninth. On the back nine, however, she made eight pars and a lone bogey at the par 3 15th.
"I'm really proud of my teammates this week," said Roland. "We played really well the last two days and we were able to beat six of the seven teams we played, including Harvard. This was a very difficult course and I was happy with how we adjusted and responded to it. We are returning all five players from this weekend and adding two very talented freshmen next year. I'm very excited about next season."

OneRepublic Drummer Arrested
OneRepublic drummer Edward Ray Fisher had a bad day, it seems. The skinsman was arrested in Denver, Colo. this morning (May 15), with cops claiming he flipped out and went into a destructive rage, according to TMZ. A destructive rage? Yikes.
TMZ also obtained the kit minder's mugshot, which you can view by clicking below. Check out his forehead, which boasts a circular, bloodied injury that made us say "Ouch" upon looking at it. That thing looks painful. It's not been determined how he sustained the gash, but it's likely due to his "destructive rage."
Fisher was booked for destruction of private property, disturbing the peace and assault. Further details on what he destroyed and why, not to mention how, are TBD. We'll fill you in as we find out what the heck happened.
Fisher, 38, resides in Denver. He is due in Denver County Court tomorrow (May 16) to answer the charges.
Remind us not to piss this guy off…

Liberty News
Liberty, Lynchburg College friendly neighbors in higher education
|Liberty's founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., attended Lynchburg College for two years in the early 1950s. It was founded in 1903.
Long before there was Liberty University, there was Lynchburg College.
In 1903, Lynchburg College was founded as Virginia Christian College by Dr. Josephus Hopwood, a pioneer in Christian coeducation. It is the second-oldest college in Virginia to be founded as a coeducational institution and has maintained its association with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). With its rich history, Lynchburg College, a fellow nonprofit, has helped change and mold the identity of Lynchburg and impact scores of students across generations. In 1952, it impacted one individual who would eventually found a neighboring college that is now the world's largest Christian university.
Liberty's founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., attended Lynchburg College for two years in the early 1950s to study journalism. College life was good to him — he excelled in academics, making the dean's list and winning a Mathematics Student of the Year Award. When he became a Christian through listening to a radio broadcast during his second year at LC, he felt the call to train for ministry and transferred to Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Mo.
That early connection with LC, though, helped strike up a relationship that has grown over the years. Today the two colleges work together to ensure they are meeting the needs of students seeking quality, value-driven higher education in Central Virginia.
Lynchburg College President Dr. Kenneth Garren, now in his 12th year, recalls meeting Falwell, Sr. a few years into his job at LC.
"On my first visit to Liberty University, when Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Sr. heard that I was on campus, he made a special effort to come to the office where I was visiting the president, escort me to his museum and give me a personal tour, and it all concluded by giving me an autographed copy of his book. We continued to have meetings. When I needed something, he was very helpful to me," Garren said.
That book, Falwell's autobiography, is a staple in Garren's office, and he is quick to point out to visitors his favorite quote of Falwell's printed in the back: "God has a vision for you. Don't settle for second best. Don't ever retire. Don't ever quit. Let your vision become an obsessive reality."
"I know it (the vision) became that (an obsessive reality) for him and it is for me at my position here at Lynchburg College," Garren said. "I always want us to be the very best and strive for the very best, so I find the quote very inspirational."
|Liberty Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. (left) and his wife, Becki, with Sheila Garren and Dr. Kenneth Garren, president of Lynchburg College, in the Falwells' skybox during a Liberty football game at Williams Stadium.
The two became friends, continuing to work together on community boards and sharing thoughts as their colleges embarked on new programs or building projects.
Garren said he enjoys being able to continue that relationship with Liberty's current Chancellor and President Jerry Falwell, Jr.
"Jerry and I work well together and we look for opportunities of collaboration and mutual support. He is a really bright guy, not one who looks for publicity, but one who is a strong leader, is very candid and open, and has a tremendously good heart," Garren said.
Falwell said since he became chancellor, Garren "has gone out of his way to befriend me and to share his wisdom that was gleaned from a lifetime of experience in higher education administration."
He said his wife, Becki, admires Garren's wife, Sheila, "as a first lady who is active, visible, and supportive of her husband's presidency."
The Falwells and Garrens have gotten to know each other's families. The Garrens have been guests at the Falwells' skybox for a Liberty football game. The Falwells have been praying for the Garrens' grandson, Garren Snow, a 12-year-old from Salem, Va., during his recovery from a MRSA infection in his leg that could have taken his life. The two presidents served together on the Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce board and have attended Town and Gown meetings, quarterly gatherings of city leaders and administrators from the city's colleges. At a Town and Gown meeting in July 2011, Falwell presented Garren a 1907 Lynchburg College Argonaut yearbook, the college's oldest yearbook. It was found in some boxes at the Jerry Falwell Museum on Liberty's campus.
Garren said when he speaks to alumni or travels outside Lynchburg, people often ask him generally about the relationship between the two institutions — and there's a lot to tell.
Most recently, Liberty came to the rescue of LC students who were left without power after a severe windstorm tore through the campus in July, during some of the hottest temperatures Central Virginia saw this summer. Garren said he immediately thought to contact his friend, Falwell, Jr., who was already mobilizing staff at Liberty to open the school's doors to the community. Liberty did not lose power, and its facilities, including the dining hall and laundry locations, were made available to the public. LC students stayed in Liberty residence halls until power could be restored to LC. The storm significantly damaged or completely destroyed 94 trees across LC's campus. At one point, power lines were down on three sides on the perimeter of the campus.
"It's really great to have that kind of relationship, when you can pick up the phone and call somebody and either offer help or ask for help," Garren said.
LC has also been on the giving end. In the spring, it granted Liberty permission to install microwave antennas on Schewel Hall, allowing Liberty to boost its Internet connectivity in the area. The agreement cited that LC and Liberty "have a mutual interest in serving the educational needs of the Lynchburg community. Therefore it is fitting that both institutions cooperate, when possible, to further the interests of higher education."
Garren sees more room for collaboration as LC expands its Burton Student Center beginning in August 2014, with plans for a veterans lounge that could be used by Liberty veterans as well. Garren, who has had an extensive military career himself, recently toured Liberty's Military Affairs Office with other members of LC administration to learn how Liberty is reaching out to its online military students and veterans.
In turn, developers of Liberty's new observatory being planned on Liberty Mountain visited the Belk Astronomical Observatory at LC where they collaborated with experts there and drew inspiration for much of its own design.
The crossover between the institutions can also be seen at some of the colleges' extracurricular events. The LC and Liberty women's soccer teams have played each other for a fundraiser, and the club lacrosse teams have also faced off in spirited play. LC's indoor track and field programs have used Liberty's indoor track facilities and in turn Liberty has used LC's outdoor track for events. Musical ensembles from the two colleges have combined their talent for LC's popular "A Night at the Movies" event in the spring.
|Several Liberty University alumni are now in Lynchburg College's new Doctorate of Physical Therapy program. Pictured left to right: Wade Roberts, Juliana Ospiana, Dr. Rusty Smith (director), and Joanna Zipperer.
The collaboration extends into academics as well. One example can be seen firsthand at LC's new Doctor of Physical Therapy facility, where several Liberty graduates are enrolled in each of the three classes. Chancellor Falwell toured the facility in 2011.
"I was very impressed with the state-of-the-art facility. After seeing it, we made a decision not to include a DPT program in our new School of Health Sciences. We decided that, instead of competing with LC for the limited number of PT internships in the area, we would recommend LC's DPT program to our graduates and focus our efforts in other graduate health programs," Falwell said.
Caleb Kauffmann, a second-year DPT student and Liberty alumnus with a degree in exercise science, enrolled with three other Liberty graduates.
"Liberty prepared me for it most of the way — it was a good fit," he said.
Already used to calling Lynchburg their home, Liberty graduates in the DPT program said the transition was a smooth one and they have felt welcomed by LC.
On a recent tour of the DPT facility, located on Lakeside Drive, Garren pointed out the state-of-the-art equipment, from the expansive anatomy labs, a free clinic, and a lab with the latest in motion-analysis computer technology. A professor commented that all of it impressed him when he first came to interview. Garren didn't hesitate, but with a wink, said, "that's what that quote is about, of Dr. Falwell's, we want to be the best at what we're doing."

About the Book
About the Creator
Having taken photographs for the last 28 years, and in 2008 I ventured back to my country of birth inspired by the great photographer, the late Sir Simon Marsden. His moody, ghostly black and white images, and tales of life as it continues after death, which has always fascinated me lead to my book Britain In Ruins, all shot in infra red. I have also completed a book on Underwater photography that sums up my respect for sea creatures and life in general. I continue with both these subjects and other photographic styles which is only limited by ones imagination, as well as teaching photography and image editing to those that desire to learn more about this great medium. Both my photographic books are available as hard cover or ebooks. Under the pen name Langley Porter, I have also begun writing stories and poems that speak from the child within. The first installment of that can be also found here as a paperback and ebook.

Over the years I have generally enjoyed the edgy fare at Allens Lane Theater. But the current production, "Something Wicked This Way Comes," just puzzled me.
Director Martina Plag makes a daring attempt to stage Ray Bradbury's Gothic novel, using a plethora of lighting effects (Mike Lucek), sound effects (Jeff Story) and her own hand puppets. But if you are not familiar with the novel (or the Disney movie), you have little idea what is going on.
The story concerns a spooky carnival that arrives during the night by train. Its evil game is to exploit the pain and desires of innocent townsfolk in order to lure them in, then hold them in servitude forever.
The star is Will (Leila Ghaznavi), a young boy on the cusp of adolescence. His best friend Jamie (Sara Nye) yearns to be grown up. Will's father, Mr. Halloway (Bill Hanson), wants to be young again and laments being distant from his son.
Lorna Howley, Leslie Berkowitz, Kevin Chick and Heather Cole play most other characters, a wide mix of citizen-victims, carnival villains and freaks.
An abundance of props is used in the carnival setting. Actors revolve mirrors to suggest the sinister maze. At times actors bob up and down with cardboard horses, a magical carousel that makes you young or old, depending on its spin.
And Plag uses her hand puppets to distinguish scenes where characters are under the carnival influence. I know that integrating actor and hand puppet is a modern trend in puppetry, but I find it hard to suspend disbelief when the actor is so visually present.
Despite all this theatrical activity (or perhaps because of it), you remain in a state of confusion. The production never boils the story down to something you can follow, and the big struggle between good and evil never materializes.
The arch villain is Mr. Dark (Kevin Chick), the carnival master. But with his harlequin outfit and stilts, he comes across as a fun-loving guy you would like to have a beer with. You do not feel the terror of evil, and except for the train arrival sequence, I never felt scared.
For sure, the people involved in this production genuinely love Ray Bradbury's work. The show makes continuous nodding references to characters in the novel as if everyone in the audience is familiar with it.
This kind of casual referencing is the kind of thing you see in parody. (Actually there was a South Park episode, "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes," where cheap prices seduce innocent townsfolk into Faustian bargains.)
The production team is talented, and I am sympathetic to the huge effort that went into the staging. But "Something" is such an insider adoration of the novel that the show is unlikely to have much appeal beyond the realm of Ray Bradbury groupies.
Allens Lane is located at Allens Lane near McCallum. "Something Wicked This Way Comes" will run through March 24. Reservations at 215-248-0546.

|Population statistics
The mountain lion or puma (Puma concolor) is a predatory feline native to the Americas, and the fourth-largest big cat (after the tiger, lion, and jaguar).
Various local dialects in North America gave the mountain lion additional names: deer tiger, deer stalker, mountain screamer, and many others. The word panther is in reference to all big cats that the early European colonists were familiar with; painter may have been an altered form of that word.
Catamount is synonymous with mountain lion, and means "cat of the mountain" [1]. Puma has its origins with the Incas of Peru. [2]
Mountain lions are approximately 8 feet long from nose to tail, which is itself one-third of the total body length. They weigh between 75-200 pounds, with rare individuals weighing more. Females are slightly smaller.
The coat is a tawny light-brown with a white underside; occasional individuals will sport either lighter or darker coats. The tail is tipped in black, and the face has a dark brown patch on either side of the muzzle. The fur is short and coarse. [3]
Territory and range
A typical mountain lion inhabits a range of territory that covers anywhere between 25 and 785 square miles, depending upon the availability of food and undisturbed habitat. All lions are solitary, and only get together during the breeding season.
Mountain lions have the greatest overall range of any species of mammal in the Western Hemisphere; although reduced in numbers in North America, mountain lions are found as far north as northern British Columbia in Canada to as far south as southern Chile and Argentina in South America, and they inhabit a variety of locations, from mountains to desert to forested woodlands and tropical rain forests.
Mountain Lions hunt from ambush, either using cover to wait for prey to wander by, or using cover when they silently get near prey in which a sudden run is necessary. Like other big cats, mountain lions bite down on the neck, securing a strangulation hold on the victim's windpipe if it is a deer or larger, or breaking the neck if it is small game, such as a rabbit or marmot. Mountain Lions also feed on mice, ground squirrels, skunks, porcupines, and birds.
Mountain lions can consume up to 20 or 30 pounds of meat in a single meal, and if the prey is large enough, it will be cached in a secluded spot for further consumption, generally up to ten days.
Mating and breeding can occur during any time of the year, but kittens are usually born in late spring/early summer. The courtship lasts only for a period of several days; after which the female finds a den as a secure place to give birth.
Mountain Lion kittens are born with a spotted coat and bright blue eyes. The spots disappear after 6–9 months, and the eyes turn yellow within 16 months. Weighing in at about one pound at birth, the kittens grow rapidly. After eight weeks of nursing, the kittens will weigh about 30 pounds. Lion kittens begin to eat meat at the age of six weeks. After 18 months, the immature lions usually leave their mother to begin life on their own.
Juvenile lions lead a tough life during the first two years. Dominant males may kill juveniles within their territories, so often juveniles must eke out a living in marginal habitat. This can ultimately lead to starvation or encounters with humans. Even in California where Mountain Lions are protected from hunting, 75% of the kittens die prior to the end of their second year.
Relation to man
Mountain lions were persecuted throughout much of the history of the United States, as they were seen to be a threat to livestock; once common east of the Mississippi River, they are now seen sporadically; the subspecies P. c. coryi is restricted to remote areas of the Florida Everglades and is listed as endangered. [4]
They are more common in the American west where much undisturbed habitat remains, but as development moves inward, human/lion encounters are becoming more frequent; attacks by lions have increased since 1991, resulting in a number of well-publicized deaths. [5]

Another fine example of open minded tolerance. It would have been a complete miss except the one part that you actually know (PNW) The rest is based on generalizations.
Economic impact??? Surely you can come up with a stronger argument than that. The gay marriage industry that did not exist ~ 1 year ago will be impacted?
I assume you support the legalization of polygamy and consenting adult siblings marrying each other.
Wouldn't that be consistent with your position?
Where are their rights?
Would you march in their parade?
Shouldn't anyone have the right to marry whomever they want? Are you drawing a line in the sand just like the pro prop 8 folks?
Yeah, we all have gay friends and many have gay siblings. I just dont wear it like a badge.
I have ask my gay and straight friends the same question I am asking you about their anti prop 8 position( I am from CA and still have many fiends and family there). Only one has said that consenting adults of any combo should be able to marry would be consistent with his position in opposition to prop 8. I have a lot of respect for this guy for not being afraid to answer these questions with an open mind.
Can you?
Just looking for some logic.

Man, we were REALLY disappointed in 2011!
One title pulled in the most votes in ANY category this year.
It should come as no surprise that when the gaming public waits 14 years through several sporadic promises of greatness yet to come, that expectations will be a bit higher than practically any triple-A product could ever possibly deliver on.
Unfortunately, and somewhat expectedly Duke Nukem Forever was NOT a triple-A title. While it wasn't a complete technical disaster, it was squarely grounded in antique FPS conventions that could not stand up to other modern entries in the genre and '90s era machismo that came off more hateful and cringe-inducing than clever, self-aware parody.
For many of us who still have a soft spot for the ol' Dukester, the good news is that developer Gearbox reportedly still has more in store for us and these sins may yet be atoned for.
But for those of us who are less forgiving and who waited patiently for Duke Nukem Forever we found ourselves playing what was essentially an examination of why Duke doesn't really "work" in 2011 the same way that he used to in an era where FPS games were more rudimentary and protagonists weren't as cool/chatty/clever as they are today.
Looking for disappointment? Always bet on Duke.

Infections as a result of masturbation?
Aug 27, 1996
From a young age, I have been engaging in masturbation and sometimes with another male. Now I am still engaging the act but the second party is not there. Is there a possibility that I would get viral infections as a result of the sexual act? What are the symptoms?
Response from Mr. Sowadsky
Hi. Thank you for your question.
As far as HIV or other Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's) are concerned, no matter what you do by yourself, you will not be at risk for HIV or other STD's. These diseases are only passed from an infected person, directly to another person. So no matter what you do by yourself, you are safe from HIV and other STD's.
As far as getting STD's from mutual masturbation with another person, for HIV, this is a low risk activity. There would however be a chance of getting other STD's while engaging in mutual masturbation, especially if you come in direct contact with any types of lesions, growths, or discharges from your partner. Diseases where you can get infected from contact with lesions/growths include herpes, syphilis, genital warts, and chancroid. By having direct physical contact with the other person's body during sex, you could also get lice and scabies.
When we're talking about the symptoms of many of the STD's, symptoms can include (but are not limited to) unusual growths or lesions (even ones that don't hurt), unusual discharges from the penis or vagina, a stinging sensation when you pee (urinate), itching in the genital area (penis/vagina etc), or pain in the genital area. Some STD's can also cause these symptoms in the rectum/anus.
It's important to know that a person can have an STD and have no symptoms at all, and still transmit the infection to others. And some symptoms related to STD's can look like the symptoms of other illnesses. For example, a burning sensation when you pee (urinate) can be due to STD's like chlamydia, gonorrhea, or they can be due to non-sexually transmitted diseases, like a urinary tract infection. The only way we can diagnose an STD is through laboratory tests.
Since I'm talking about the symptoms of STD's, let me review the symptoms of HIV/AIDS as well. In regard to the symptoms related to full blown AIDS itself, they don't usually begin until literally years after infection. Before that time, a person can look and feel totally healthy with no symptoms at all. As for the specific symptoms of AIDS, there are no specific symptoms you could list. AIDS is actually a group of diseases, and therefore you're dealing with groups of symptoms. Not everyone with AIDS has every disease and therefore not everyone has every symptom. Every symptom of AIDS looks like the symptoms of other illnesses. Symptoms can include severe weight loss, fevers, drenching night sweats, fatigue, severe diarrhea, and the list goes on and on. Generally the symptoms tend to last for weeks or months at a time, and do not go away by themselves (not without treatment). Symptoms do not begin until an average of 10 years after infection. You can have HIV and even full blown AIDS and have no symptoms at all!
Generally speaking, if you have any symptoms that last for more than 2 weeks and do not go away, or if you have any symptoms that are very severe, always seek medical attention. You can't assume any symptom is HIV/AIDS or STD related, until you get laboratory tests.
So in summary, masturbation by yourself is totally safe from HIV and other STD's. As far as mutual masturbation is concerned, this is a low risk for HIV, but can be risky for other STD's. If you think that you may have symptoms of an STD (see above), or if you think you may have been exposed to an STD (even if you have no symptoms), it's important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
If you have further questions, please e-mail me at "firstname.lastname@example.com" or call me at 1-800-842-AIDS.

Google has unveiled Bouncer, its answer to the growing threat of maliciously laced software available on the Android Market.
Bouncer will provide automated malware scanning of Android Market, but Google will not be bowing to calls for it to follow Apple in implementing an approval process for each application on its market.
Apple's mysterious vetting process is arguably one of the main reasons why there remains few if any cases of iOS malware available for download on the App Store.
However, Apple's process could also slow down the release of apps and provide obstacles to building the largest ecosystem. Security researcher Charlie Miller recently detailed some of those challenges during his efforts to bypass Apple's code signing process, which he did, landing him a one year ban from its developer program.
"Here's how it works," Google's vice president of Android engineer, Hiroshi Lockheimer explained. "Once an application is uploaded, the service immediately starts analysing it for known malware, spyware and trojans."
It will also conduct a behavioral analysis of the app by running it in Google's cloud and comparing it against previously analysed apps to detect anything that might be considered untoward.
"We also analyse new developer accounts to help prevent malicious and repeat-offending developers from coming back," Lockheimer added.
While security vendors across the board reported a huge surge in Android malware throughout 2011, Google's own analysis showed a 40 per cent decline in "the number of potentially-malicious downloads from Android Market."
In other words, Google is saying there might be malware there, but people aren't necessarily downloading those apps.
"While it's not possible to prevent bad people from building malware, the most important measurement is whether those bad applications are being installed from Android Market - and we know the rate is declining significantly," Lockheimer wrote, noting the drop occurred at the same time as security vendors were reporting a rise in Android malware.
Bouncer follows a controversial rant by Google open source champ, Chris DiBona, which slammed "the charlatans" peddling antivirus apps for Android.

One-of-a-kind vintage rug, handwoven and handknotted in Isparta, Turkey
Dimensions: 4'8" x 7'7" (144 cm x 233 cm)
All rugs have been professionally cleaned; age-related wear and natural inconsistencies are inherent in these unique, handcrafted vintage rugs.
Isparta in southwest Turkey is considered one of the major rug production centers in Turkey. Turkish motifs and floral designs are common in Isparta rugs.Material Details
Wool is the most popular fiber used in Turkish rugs because it is supple, durable, and plentiful in supply. A cotton foundation is also a popular choice, used to tie the wool knots onto. Cotton is rigid and strong, providing a firm foundation that stands the test of time.

When I was a primary school child, my mother completed a year's secondment from Secondary school PE teaching, to do a course in 'Needlework'. I was entranced by the Textile Art she produced, that thought lay dormant for many years.
I have always sewn and knitted, making clothes and things for the home. Gradually the demands of work and family reduced my sewing time and once the children had grown up and left home, I realised that I not used my sewing machine for many years. I joined a Handicraft group and that led to Patchwork and Quilting!
After completing some workshops I found that I had a growing pile of UFO's and a very disjointed set of Patchwork and Quilting skills. So I found a City and Guilds course, run by Annette Morgan and Mary McIntosh and the rest is history. I now find myself producing Quilts and Textile Art, and my mother admires my work!
I am now trying to catch up on the 'lost years' and am heavily involved in my local group. Eager to meet even more like-minded people I joined the committee of Region 8 and am enjoying organising Regional Days and taking an active role on the committee.

Doug McDermott spent his senior season passing a lot of big names on the career scoring list.
Doug McDermott spent his senior season passing a lot of big names on the career scoring list. He now is among some very select company.
The senior forward from Creighton was a unanimous choice for the Associated Press All-America team Monday. He is the first three-time choice in 29 years and the 11th player overall.
McDermott, who led the nation in scoring at 26.9 points a game, joined Oscar Robertson, Lew Alcindor, Pete Maravich and Bill Walton, among others. The last three-time All-Americasn were Patrick Ewing of Georgetown and Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma from 1982-85.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine being with names of that caliber," McDermott said. "Truly an honor to be an All-American three straight years.
"It's hard to wrap my mind around being in the company of those guys."
McDermott was one of four seniors on this year's team, which included freshman Jabari Parker of Duke.
The other seniors all came from the first-year American Athletic Conference: Russ Smith of Louisville, Shabazz Napier of Connecticut and Sean Kilpatrick of Cincinnati.
It's the first time one conference had three players picked since the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2001-02 with Duke's Shane Battier and Jason Williams and North Carolina's Joseph Forte.
McDermott received 65 first-team votes and 325 points from the same national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25.
Parker drew 55 first-team votes and was second with 303 points. Smith had 54 first-team votes and 298 points, 44 more than Napier, who got 37 first-team votes. Kilpatrick was a first-team pick 37 times and had 243 points.
The voting was done Selection Sunday.
McDermott led Creighton to a successful first season in the Big East but the Bluejays lost by 30 points to Baylor in the third round of the NCAA tournament.
"You can't take away from what we did this year. We made some noise in the first year of the Big East, and we beat some great teams and got a three seed for the first time in school history," he said. "All that is very special, something we'll never forget."
The 6-foot-8 McDermott averaged 7.0 rebounds and shot 52.5 percent from the field and 45.4 percent from 3-point range. McDermott considered leaving for the NBA after last season.
"I've been blessed to coach him 33 more times this year than I thought I was going to," Greg McDermott, his father and coach, said before the NCAA tournament. "This year has been so much fun. It's been such a privilege as a father to be able to sit on the sideline and watch your son do what Doug's done over the course of this season.
"Arguably, he had more expectations on him than any player in the country this year, and he was able to answer every critic in the world with his play on the court and our team's play."
Parker was one of the heralded freshmen this season, and he was the one who crashed the seniors' All-America party.
The 6-foot-8 native of Chicago averaged 19.3 points and 8.8 rebounds, taking over the scoring load for the Blue Devils down the stretch of the season.
He is the first Duke first-teamer since Nolan Smith in 2010-11 and the first freshman since Anthony Davis of Kentucky two years ago.
"Being named AP All-American is as high an honor as you can get because it covers the whole country," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "Jabari had a great year and for him to be recognized like that is quite an accomplishment for him and our program."
Smith brought the term "Russdiculous" into the national spotlight as he followed his national championship season with Louisville by averaging 18.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.1 steals while shooting 40.5 percent from 3-point range.
There was a lot of speculation that Smith was going to leave for the NBA after his junior season.
"It's a lot of things in the back of your mind, as far as, will you get hurt, is it the right decision, will you get drafted, will you make money?" Smith said. "But at the end of the day, it was important for me to get my education and get my degree and finish out my senior year here out on a good note."
Napier led Connecticut in scoring (17.4), rebounds (5.9) and assists (4.9) and it was his buzzer-beating jumper that gave the Huskies the win over Florida on Dec. 2, the Gators' last loss.
Napier was the leader of a team that managed to reach the Final Four after being picked as a No. 7 seed.
"He's been great," Huskies coach Kevin Ollie said. "If it wasn't for him and his winning mindset we wouldn't be where we are.
"For him to share the spotlight with his teammates meant a lot to us all season."
He is the Huskies' first All-America since Kemba Walker in 2010-11.
Napier and Walker are close friends, and Napier said it would "definitely be cool" to share the news with his mentor.
Kilpatrick, Cincinnati's first All-America since Steve Logan in 2001-02, averaged 20.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists for the Bearcats, who shared the American's regular-season title.
Kilpatrick joined Oscar Robertson as the only Cincinnati players to score 2,000 points in their careers.
"When you have to mention such a Hall of Fame guy like Oscar Robertson and what he's done at the university, now you have to mention my name as well." he said. "I appreciate it a lot."
Nick Johnson of Arizona was the leading vote-getter on the second team and was joined by freshman Andrew Wiggins of Kansas (who Monday announced his intention to enter the NBA draft), Nik Stauskas of Michigan, Melvin Ejim of Iowa State and T.J. Warren of North Carolina State.
