Defending Catholic Academies and PIAA District 1 champion Mount St. Joseph Academy graduated three seniors from last year's hoops squad, but two of them were mainstays of the Magic program for three seasons. Dubbed Southeastern Pa. player of the year in one all-star survey, guard Mary Jo Horgan has gone on to play for Lehigh University, and Steph Smith, a 6'1" forward who was named league MVP, is now at Loyola in Baltimore.
One of the major questions for sixth-year coach John Miller's team this winter will be how quickly a very talented sophomore class matures into everyday performers alongside the three current seniors.
Upperclassman Maddie Kohler is a compact guard who can be tenacious defense and has a knack for hitting outside shots at key junctures, and her classmate Cailin Schmeer is a versatile forward who can drive, hit the jumper, and rebound. The third senior is defensive ace Bridget Higgins (from St. Philip Neri in Lafayette Hill), a point guard who made a great leap forward in her outside shooting during summer league play.
Another point guard, junior Kelsey Jones, spent much of last season on crutches following a knee injury.
"Kelsey's back, and she appears to be 100 percent physically," Coach Miller said. "I haven't noticed her favoring the one leg at all."
Sophomore guard Alex Louin – now nearing the six-foot mark – was the first of last year's freshman to see significant varsity action. She showed everyone she was ready for prime time, including college coaches who had her on their radar since she was in middle school.
While there's no one of Smith's stature in the front court this year, the team has good overall size, with a number of players in the upper reaches of the five-foot range. So who will take over some of the chores down in the paint?
"We have Cailin back," Miller noted, "and the other forwards we have challenging for playing time are Meg Geatens, a junior who's gotten spot duty the past couple years, and Carly Monzo and Regan Gallagher, who are sophomores."
Another forward, sophomore Colleen Steinmetz, has come up from the junior varsity, as have a pair of guards, junior Adrienne Cellucci and sophomore Gen Hagedorn. Hagedorn had two older sisters play for the Magic and one of them, Elle (now a junior on the team at Harvard), was a league MVP.
Jones, a St. Philip grad, also has strong family ties to the program. Her older sister Courtney was a 1000-point scorer who went on to play for Boston University.
Little has changed on the Mount's schedule. Once again the Magic will open the season in the tip-off tournament at Cedar Crest High School near Lebanon, Pa., and they'll make their annual appearance at the Fellowship House holiday tourney in Conshohocken. In regular-season non-league action, familiar opponent Engineering & Science High School has been replaced by St. Hubert's of the Catholic League's northern division.
Last Wednesday another northern division club, two-time defending state champ Archbishop Wood, visited Mount St. Joe for a scrimmage. Wood graduated a strong senior class last spring, but the Vikings still played in the same tough, scrappy manner.
"We had a very physical scrimmage with them," Miller related. "They're a very talented program and it was a good eye-opener for us, and showed us some things that we probably need to improve on.
"Wood plays a very aggressive man-to-man defense the whole game," he continued, "and we didn't handle that as well as we wanted to. I'm sure the girls are disappointed with the number of turnovers we had, because we take a lot of pride in taking care of the basketball."
The veteran coach added that, as usual, there's not a lot of practice time to prepare before the official games begin.
"We haven't had time to tinker or experiment with anything," he said. "All we're doing now is a lot of the things that we did last year, because the girls are familiar with it. A few days after the tip-off tournament we open our league with Villa Maria [always a formidable rival], and we have three more league games before Christmas."

The Shoot is one of the first retail releases for PlayStation 3 to use the PlayStation Move motion control add-on system. The game plays as an on-rails light gun shooter, with PlayStation Move Navigation Controllers serving as the firearms. One or two players can blast their way through five dynamic shooting galleries, each based on the filming of a different movie genre (giving the title a double meaning). Enemies as well as civilians (who should not be shot!) pop out as the player's character moves automatically through each scene. Players can alter their in-game position slightly, by leaning to the left or right, and some sequences involve quick bouts of hand-to-hand combat as well as shooting. Levels include an Old West setting, a haunted mansion, and futuristic subway scene, infested with killer robots.
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
The Shoot is a relatively family-friendly affair, no risky stuff. The targets you shoot at are literally that, wooden cut out targets which cannot die and along with the sets themselves can be rebuilt and used for another shoot. There are two ways to lose a take -- taking too much damage from enemies or making the director angry. While the former is pretty self-explanatory, the latter could use a little explanation. As you progress through each level you will hear the voice of the film's director, who shouts words of encouragement or otherwise depending on your performance. The voice is accompanied by a graphical representation in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, which features a fat director with a circular gauge. With combos and precision, the director will be appeased and the gauge will fill, but missed combo opportunities and fewer kills will cause the director's satisfaction level to drop. If it reaches zero, you lose a take; after five lost takes, you have to start again.
The levels are fairly straightforward but varied enough to maintain interset. The environments also have a lot of destructive facets and there are plenty of hidden items that trigger explosions and other events that either clear an area of enemies or enable a score multiplier. Attempting to gain high scores in the singleplayer mode can be fun, but the two-player multiplayer mode spices things up a bit with a little friendly competition.
The Shoot's Career mode is the best way to gain up Trophies, as many bronze and silver trophies can be obtained through level progression or by shooting a certainj numbert of enemies or items. A handful of Trophies are also awarded in the game's two other modes, Score Attack and Challenges, which are shorter challenge-based modes.
In this game interesting use is made of the Move controller pushing its capabilities to the limit as a light gun, and the Move's built-in inertial sensors are used to bring tilt and motion gesture controls into the play. For instance, if an enemy throws a stick of dynamite in your direction, you have to lean left or right to avoid it. Similarly, players must perform a full 360 turn, swing the controller around their heads, or point it up or down to initiate certain power-ups like bullet-time, a shockwave blast, or rapid fire.
So yes, the Move works fairly well, though the game did seem to have trouble detecting certain movements if you are seated, and, lke all other Move games, performance is affected by how carefully you calibrate the controller and will determine how accurate the aiming reticule is on the screen, and if you take a temporary halt for more than a couple of minutes, recalibration may be required. Otherwise, however, there seemed to be very little lag between the controller and screen.
Despite its many good points, there are some problems. The load time is very long and the graphics are a little rough round the edges, and frame rate drops are common when certain events are triggered. The soundtrack works well enough, but eventually becomes tiresome. It is also short with only three modes and five levels with four stages each. Completing a level can be done in 30 minutes or less, and unless you're playing competitively with another player, there is little reason to revisit a level.
But again, the biggest problem with The Shoot is its lack of depth, and the gameplay mechanics cannot disguise the fact that the game is shallow. However, the good points outweigh the bad points and the game is certainly playable and just long enough to play without becoming tiresome.

Though the federal debt ceiling will be raised sometime this spring, when it is due to be eclipsed, according to Peter Orszag, President Obama's budget director for 2009 and most of 2010, Americans should expect a fight much like that for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, where market volatility and anxiety finally corral the votes needed to pass the bill.
Mr. Orszag spoke in East Hampton Saturday as part of the Hamptons Institute, a program co-sponsored by Guild Hall and the Roosevelt Institute. Originally slated to be interviewed by Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes," Mr. Orszag ended up speaking with Jeff Madrick, a senior fellow at the Roosevelt Institute and frequent contributor to "The New York Review of Books," when Mr. Kroft had to cancel his appearance.
The debt ceiling issue has gained steam in recent weeks, as Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has warned of a potential inability to send older Americans their Social Security payments, pay soldiers on the field in Iraq and Afghanistan, and other issues.
Not raising the debt ceiling would be "catastrophic," Mr. Orszag said. "If we go over the edge on the debt ceiling, we will have substantially endangered this economy, may well throw the economy back into recession. This is not anything one wants to play around with."
He said that in mid May Mr. Geithner would have to start "deploying emergency measures" to avoid defaulting on the federal government's debt. He did voice confidence that the ceiling would be raised, but not without a fight.
"I don't think we'll raise the debt ceiling without experiencing some temporary turbulence in financial markets; but we will raise it after experiencing it. I think the analogy is: Don't forget what happened when TARP was enacted. The bill failed the first time through the House. Only after the severe financial market response did the bill then pass."
Mr. Orszag went on to say a temporary federal government shutdown this month might have been good preparation for the more serious debt ceiling fight. "It was probably unfortunate we didn't temporarily go over the cliff on a government shutdown. The backlash would have been useful, as this is less important than the debt ceiling."
The former director of the Office of Management and Budget also devoted time to a discussion of American political culture, which he said was more polarized than ever, in part because we are separating ourselves -- both physically and in terms of our news exposure -- from those we disagree with.
"We increasingly segregate ourselves residentially by party. In the United States in the 1970s, 25 percent lived in a county that swung hard one way or the other [in presidential elections]. Now well over half of us live in counties that swing hard one way. Our political system is hyperpolarized. That is at the core of the problem over the debt ceiling."
Mr. Orszag lamented the rise of the blogosphere in that it has allowed many to avoid views they dislike. There is a risk with the proliferation of news sources that "facts do not matter at all," he said. "When we hear something on TV or read it in print, our default is to assume it's true," a product of a bygone era when the Walter Cronkites of the world could be depended on for honesty.
Pivoting to the upcoming fight on the 2012 budget, Mr. Orszag called the Paul Ryan budget blueprint now embraced by the G.O.P. a "gift to the Democrats," in that it was too extreme, fundamentally changed the Medicare program to a voucher system, and ultimately actually raised health care expenditures by giving consumers total control over their health care, forgoing the bargaining power held by the federal government over Medicare costs.
He said a better way to improve the federal government's debt picture would be to simply allow all of the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 to lapse. The cuts were extended until 2012 in a deal struck between President Obama and Congressional leaders in December.
"If we did away with all of Bush tax cuts, we'd raise somewhere between 1 and 1.5 percent of G.D.P. That would basically eliminate the gap in the 5 to 10-year window between our current path and a more stable one."
And since the cuts will lapse without Congressional action, Mr. Orszag said only 34 Democratic votes in the Senate -- to vote against overriding the President's veto of an extension of the cuts -- were needed to massively improve the nation's budget outlook.
"There is no other 34-vote revenue raiser that exists," he said.

Monday's decisions taken by the inter-governmental fishery organization responsible for the conservation of Atlantic tunas will push the North Atlantic Bluefin Tuna closer to commercial extinction.
"The fishing quota agreed by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, ICCAT, is incredibly shortsighted. It exceeds the recommended fishing level by almost 50 percent. This can only lead to the collapse of the stocks. Rather than working together to save this important fishery, many governments – notably the EU – regrettably chose to divide up a dwindling resource," said François Simard, IUCN's Adviser on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs.
The population of Bluefin Tuna has reached a critically low level, with all scientific advice agreeing on the need for a drastic reduction of fishing levels and a fishing closure during the spawning season to allow the stock to recover.
"However, decisions continue to be corrupted by short-term economics and political lobbying, the result being that the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas continues to miss its mandate to maintain fish populations at levels allowing maximum sustainable catches," said Simard.
Meeting last week in Marrakech to agree on management measures for tuna in the North Atlantic for 2009 and beyond, ICCAT again chose to ignore its own scientific advisors by setting catch quotas almost 50 percent above those recommended by the scientists.
"Sustainable catches from a recovered population could be much higher than current landings, worth more than 400 million USD even today. This fisheries management failure will mean tough socio-economic consequences for those depending on the species for their livelihoods in addition to cascading ecological effects to the marine ecosystem," said Simard.
Only one month ago, a majority of governments and NGOs had supported an IUCN resolution at the 4th IUCN World Conservation Congress that called for an immediate interim suspension of the East Atlantic and Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna fisheries. The resolution also called for the establishment of a science-based recovery plan and a drastic reduction in the length of the open season, especially in the crucial months of May and June.
"A moratorium should have been imposed and then lifted only once proper and enforceable recovery plans are in place, when reductions in fleet size and surveillance programs are done, and when science-based evaluations allow for the fishery to resume. The objective is not to close down the fishery, but to make it sustainable. With the new quotas set by ICCAT, we are playing Russian roulette with an important fishery and all the jobs associated with it," says Carl Gustaf Lundin, Head of IUCN's Global Marine Programme.
This ICCAT decision puts into question the reliance solely on Regional Fisheries Management Organizations – like ICCAT – to manage resources of the high seas global commons. When these organizations fail, the consequences are borne by all.
"Ignoring scientific advice and the findings of its own performance review panel highlights the urgent need for the global community to seriously rethink the governance system for high seas living resources and our oceans," said Lundin.

Swing Vote
01.12.2009 | By Alex Florez | No Comments">No Comments
Rated: PG-13 for language.
Release Date: 2008-08-01
Starring: Joshua Michael Stern, Jason Richman
Film Genre:
Official Website: http://swingvote.movies.go.com/
Few would argue that Hollywood, as a whole, is a pretty 'liberal' industry whose star studded cast often shows its support by way of propaganda and sizable donations to left-winged presidential nominees every four years. Nowadays, whenever filmmakers have the opportunity to chastise our republican administration in the not-so-subtle of ways, they've taken it and in some cases exploited it – and I'm not just talking about Michael Moore and his rattling documentaries. Take films such as 'The Day After Tomorrow' and 'Transformers', to name a more recent one, where the political jabs are more humorous than they are sharp.
Nevertheless, there are those, more conservative members of Hollywood, that from time to time strike back. Which is why it's so surprising to see actor Kevin Costner, a registered republican, so decidedly neutral in this latest comedy about a middle-class american who will decide the next president of our country. Instead, the Costner produced movie, tries to focus itself on a father-daughter relationship while only underlining the importance of our civic duty. But that's as much credit as I can give Swing Vote.
In it, Costner plays Bud Johnson, an apathetic, disorderly, but lovable father who is coasting through a life that has almost passed him by. The only bright spot is his overly precocious and overachieving 12-year-old daughter Molly (Madeleine Carroll) who in this case, is the one that takes care of him. That is, until one mischievous moment on Election Day, when she attempts to vote on Bud's behalf when he is too drunk to show up to the booth. Later that night, when the tallies are all in, the nomination happens to come down to one final vote – Bud's vote – which needs to be recast because of a technical error in the voting machine. The media soon takes hold of the news and within minutes, the courtship from both campaigns are full throttle.
But It's that same courtship to win over Bud's vote, that makes this film hard to watch. The politicians in the movie, played by Kelsey Grammer and Dennis Hopper are merely stereotypical representations of the republican and democratic party respectively, and consequently, the ways in which they attempt to win over Bud's affection are beyond predictable.
Then there's the media – represented by George Lopez as the local, cutthroat news director and his journalist on the rise Kate Madison (played by Paula Patton), but both come off as one-dimensional.
Costner seems more than complaisant with the notion of letting little Madeleine Carroll carry the movie, but she is too precocious for her own good. If she were more like a 'kid' then perhaps it would be easier for us to empathize with her and the situation she's in.
Notwithstanding, the film does deliver a couple of Disneyesque moments where Costner's character finally shows some arc. Unfortunately, they come way too late in the story, at a time when all you want to know is who ends up being president so you can leave the theater. However, even those curious of the outcome will be seriously disappointed.

New York Jets at Tennessee Titans (ESPN): Welp, here we are: Jets and Titans. The Jets, amazingly, still have a glimmer of hope for a playoff run. They need to win their remaining games and have the Bengals/Steelers do some stuff. Which is to say, they are definitely going to make the playoffs. They are going to get in and they will then be shamed in the first round and the organization will continue to spin its wheels in the purgatory of the NFL's mediocrity. Not terrible enough to just scrap everything and start over and not good enough to ever move forward.
The Titans are 4-9. They are the best team the Jets have played in three weeks. Get excited! Yak!

Do you check your ECU email through a mobile device?
Accessing ECU email through your mobile device now requires a passcode for that device effective Friday, August 1, 2014. This means the device will lock when it is not in use. After August 1st, users will be unable to sync their email to their phone or tablet until the passcode is set.
There are some real advantages to implementing a passcode for a mobile device, such as:
- Information protection – for both your personal and ECU information
- Automatic device encryption for iOS devices – Android requires a few more steps
- Piratemail management – Users can remotely wipe their device through Piratemail if it is lost or stolen
Don't want to use a passcode?
If you choose not to set up a passcode, your device will no longer sync with the Exchange server after August 1st. However, you'll still have the option of checking ECU email through your mobile browser at piratemail.ecu.edu. This way, no mail items will be saved on your device.
Need to know how to set up a passcode?
Android: Open the Settings screen, tap Security, tap Screen Lock, tap PIN or Password, and set up a new PIN or password. Swipe, gestures, etc., don't work – numeric/alphanumeric PIN or password only.
iOS: Open Settings, tap Passcode, tap the digits you want to use.
Windows: Start > Settings > Personal tab, and then click Lock.
If you already have a passcode set up for your device, you need not take any action.
Remember: our network is only as strong as its weakest link. By implementing passcodes for mobile devices, users make our collective information more secure.

Change of Division Requests: October 24 - November 4. Students wishing to request a change of division for the Spring semester (e.g., from evening division to full-time or part-time day division, or vice versa) should submit a Change of Division request. The form will be available beginning Thursday, October 24. To complete the form, log into Web for Students and select "Request to change division" in the left-hand menu. Please note: Students may not switch divisions until they have completed their first year. The deadline for submitting the form is Monday, November 4, at 5:00 pm.
Fall 2013 Final Exams.
•Exam Schedule. The final exam schedule for the current semester is available here. You will be notified of the classroom assignments for your exams prior to the start of exam period.
•Exam Conflict/Reschedule Requests: October 24 – November 4. The Student Handbook requires that you take your final exams at the times scheduled unless you have an exam conflict (as defined below), or you have a "serious illness or other extraordinary or compelling reason" beyond your control. If you have an exam conflict or believe you have other reasons justifying the rescheduling of an exam, please complete the Final Exam Reschedule form. To complete the form, log into Web for Students and navigate to the Final Exam Reschedule form in the left-hand menu. The form will be available beginning Thursday, October 24; the deadline for submitting an exam reschedule request is Monday, November 4, at 5:00 pm. If your request is approved, you will be notified later this semester of the rescheduled date, time, and location of your exam.
Under current policy, a student is deemed to have an "exam conflict" if the student has two exams at the same time, or has two or more exams within 24 hours (e.g., exams at 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., or at 6:00 p.m. and 1:15 the following afternoon). A conflict does not exist if two exams are scheduled exactly 24 hours apart (e.g., exams at 8:30 a.m. one morning and 8:30 a.m. the next morning).
•Exam Method Registration: October 24 - November 4.Students have three choices for taking most exams: hand writing the exam, taking the exam on their own laptop computer, or taking the exam on a lab computer. Some professors do not permit one or more of these options (e.g., some require all students to handwrite the exam).
Assuming your professor has authorized you to take the exam on computer, we will assume you are taking the exam on your own laptop unless you submit an Exam Method form. You need to register your exam-taking method only if you wish to handwrite the exam, or take it on a lab computer (subject to space availability). Please check with your professor if you are uncertain whether computer use will be permitted for your exam. If you choose the lab computer option but there are not enough spaces available, we will conduct a lottery after the close of the exam method registration period to determine who can use the lab computers. (This usually is not necessary, but occasionally we have more requests than we can accommodate for lab computers.)
If you wish to register to take an exam by hand or on a lab computer, log into Web for Students and navigate to the Exam Method Registration form in the left-hand menu. The form will be available beginning Thursday, October 24; the deadline for submitting an exam method request is Monday, November 4, at 5:00 pm.
Notice about SofTest: Students taking exams on laptop must download and install the SofTest exam-taking program. You will receive information from the Computer Center about when and how to do this. Even though you do not need to submit an Exam Method Registration form to use your laptop for exams, you do need to download and install SofTest. In addition, you must download the new version of SofTest even if you have an older version from a prior semester. You cannot use older versions of the program - you must have the new version of SofTest. This includes first-year students who took a midterm exam on SofTest - you will need to download the new version for final exams.
Unless a professor specifies otherwise, SofTest is configured to lock students out of other programs and services on their computers for the duration of the exam. This means that, unless a professor specifically authorizes access, students will not have access to notes, outlines, or other materials stored on their hard drive or the network.
Notice About Borrowing Laptops from the Computer Center: The Computer Center has a limited supply of laptop computers reserved for use in emergency situations that arise during exam period. Please contact Dean Sowle if you opt to take an exam on laptop, and your laptop suffers unexpected problems that cannot be remedied before your exam. The Computer Center's laptops also may be used (subject to availability) if your computer has problems immediately before or during an exam, as long as the problem is not due to your failing to properly configure or register your laptop to run the SofTest program. Because of limited supply, the Computer Center's laptops are not available for general loaning purposes during exam period. However, if you have exceptional circumstances that you believe justify borrowing a laptop for an exam, please contact Dean Sowle to discuss your situation.
Notice to Handwriters: Students who are handwriting an exam will be placed in the same room used by laptop users for that exam. Handwriters will not be put in a separate room.
•Availability of Professors' Old Exams. Many professors make their old exams available for students to review. Exams after 1982 are available online by clicking here. Exams dating from 1982 and before are bound in volumes available in the 10th floor reading room in the Library.

Liberty triathletes head to nationals
For most people, a 1 mile swim, a 25 mile bike ride or a 6.2 mile run would be a good workout. For Liberty University's triathlon team, it'll be all three as they compete in the 2012 USA Triathlon Collegiate National Championships in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Saturday, April 21.
This is the third year Liberty has sent a team to nationals.
"We really improved dramatically in just a couple years," said coach Beth Frackleton, who has been with the team since its inception in 2009.
Liberty finished the fall season second in the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Triathlon Conference in the men's division while the women finished third.
Leading the way into nationals for the men is Joseph Anderson. The freshman from Washington, D.C., finished second in the Lake Lure Triathlon showcase event in the "draft legal" race last month. Last fall, he also qualified, along with teammate Parker Spencer, to represent the United States at the World Age Group Triathlon Championships in Auckland, New Zealand.
Senior Scott Fritz won the collegiate race at the Lake Lure event.
Blakely Harris leads the way for the women. A senior, Harris came in fifth in the women's race at Lake Lure.
There will be more than 1,500 athletes competing in the two races this weekend as they contest the "Olympic distance" for triathlon: 1.5K (about 1 mile) swim, 40K (about 25 mile) bike and 10K (about 6.2 mile) run. The women's race starts at 7:30 a.m. with the gun going for the men's race at 10:30.
- Triathlon is one of 30 sports offered as part of Liberty's Club Sports program.

We're number 19!
It's hardly a ranking to celebrate. Even as the U.S. stands among the top two in the overall medal count in Sochi, it barely cracks the top 20 nations when it comes to retirement security, according to Natixis Global Asset Management, a Paris- and Boston-based company with $838 billion under management. Among the countries the U.S. trails: top-ranked Switzerland and second-ranked Norway, as well as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Korea.
Not surprisingly, Western European countries with big commitments to social welfare programs dominate the top 10. "You have higher tax rates in Europe and even in Canada than we do here in the U.S., but they also have better funded national retirement programs," says David Lafferty, chief market strategist for Natixis.
The Natixis Global Retirement Index ranks 150 nations on 20 measures of health, wealth, qualify of life, and material well-being that affect retirement security. The measures include per capita income, health-care costs, and longevity figures published by organizations including the World Bank, World Health Organization, the United Nations and Gallup, which polls citizens on their happiness and satisfaction.
The news isn't entirely bleak. At #19, the U.S.'s ranking hasn't deteriorated since last year – when the index debuted. We rank sixth when it comes to per-capita income, and our performance has improved in each of the four broad categories the index measures (health, wealth, quality of life and material well-being).
Still, "the rapid ascent of several other nations" caused the U.S. to remain stuck at 19, Natixis says. Moreover, despite being a wealthy country, the U.S. ranks relatively low when it comes to life expectancy (#33) and income inequality (#81). Other factors dragging down the U.S.'s ranking include high government debt, limited access to medical care, and high per-capita spending on health care. (When it comes to health-care spending, we are #1!)
"In spite of some improvements, the U.S. is not making a lot of headway on retirement preparedness," says Lafferty.
Lafferty says this year's big surprise was Japan's poor showing. Japan fell from 15th to 27th for reasons including its high ratio of retirees to workers.
Countries that saw their rankings improve include Australia, New Zealand and South Korea.
As with last year, several African nations brought up the rear. Zimbabwe finished last among the 150 countries, with Niger, Togo, Burundi, and Mali also among the bottom ten.
Here are the top 20 (along with their 2013 rankings):
- Switzerland (2)
- Norway (1)
- Austria (5)
- Sweden (4)
- Australia (11)
- Denmark (8)
- Germany (9)
- Finland (6)
- New Zealand (22)
- Luxembourg (3)
- Iceland (23)
- Belgium (14)
- The Netherlands (7)
- Canada (13)
- France (10)
- Czech Republic (17)
- South Korea (27)
- United Kingdom (20)
- United States (19)
- Israel (12)

Chimp in Sweden Stockpiles Rocks to Hurl at Zoo Visitors Later
A few years back, Santino, a chimpanzee at a zoo in Sweden, made big news. He was gathering rocks in the morning, storing them and then later in the day he would hurl them at unsuspecting people enjoying a lovely day at the zoo.
Funny, right? I thought it was at first, but then all of a sudden I started thinking, isn't this how Planet of the Apes began?
Some researchers were skeptical that Santino really was planning for these sneaky attacks.
Santino is back in the news, because now he is hiding the rocks under piles of hay or behind logs to get a closer and better aim. This is more evidence that he is thinking ahead like humans do.
By hiding the stones and then trying to deceive zoo visitors into thinking that his intentions were peaceful, (researchers) argue, Santino was actually anticipating and planning for a future situation rather than simply responding repetitively to a past one.
Santino is a pretty smart chimp! Check out the video below where he paints! Well, he sniffs the paint and then decides to taste it but then he really does start using a paint brush.

I am sorry you are having to deal with this but let me ask you this...why are you waiting for him to change if you are unhappy? (not completely happy)
So I've been seeing this guy for 6 years now and all this time he's told me he needs to have sex to feel emotionally connected to me. He ignores me most of the time and then when he hears I'm dating someone else he contacts me everyday! Finally after many years we had sex and he's still acting the same. What's his problem?

It's time to reassess your movie rental options.
Netflix users who use the service to watch DVDs and stream video will pay an extra $72 per year starting in September, according to an announcement on the company's blog today. That additional $6 per month stems from the site's new policy to split DVD rentals and unlimited streaming into two separate plans. Instead of $9.99 for both unlimited streaming and unlimited one-at-a-time DVD rentals, subscribers will pay $7.99 per month for the DVD portion (more if they want to have multiple DVDs out at one time) and another $7.99 for the streaming. Even people who don't watch streaming video and DVDs could end up paying that higher rate — Netflix has yet to email subscribers about the change, and the new plans kick in September 1. Consumers who don't change their account to eliminate one component will end up paying for both plans. Prices are effective immediately for new members and subscribers who change their plan.
Adding salt to the wound, Netflix presented the changes as "our lowest prices ever for unlimited DVDs." Though its claim is technically true — $7.99 is less than $9.99 — consumers are getting less for their money. Later in the announcement, the company says in its most recent plans DVDs by mail "was treated as a $2 add on to our unlimited streaming plan." By that measure, DVDs are now quadruple the price. Netflix did not respond to requests for comment. Michael Pachter, an analyst for equity research firm Wedbush, said the move was likely done to cover the cost of adding more movies and TV shows, but that Netflix would have benefited more from simply raising prices. "The hybrid plans don't make any sense," he says. Many consumers will likely just rent their DVDs from another source, losing Netflix not just that extra $72 but also the $24 it was getting when DVD/streaming plans cost $9.99.
Consumers' best recourse is to go elsewhere for DVD rentals, says Dan Rayburn, a principal analyst with Frost & Sullivan. "Netflix is basically forcing consumers to decide, do you want DVDs?" he says. Redbox and Blockbuster On Demand kiosks charge as little as $1 per night for new releases, letting someone rent up to seven DVDs a month and still come out ahead of Netflix pricing. Movies are available sooner at the kiosk, too, since Netflix has 28-day delays on many titles under studio agreements.
On the streaming side, you may not need Netflix much, either. Cable companies such as Comcast have developed free streaming sites that anyone can access, but with more shows and movies for cable customers, and there's also $8-per-month Hulu Plus for those who have cut the cord. Amazon has been growing its on demand video selection, too, fueled by free access to shoppers who pay $79 a year for free shipping through Amazon Prime. They're likely to keep prices low, because video on demand isn't their sole business, Rayburn says.
Update: This post has been updated to include a comment from Michael Pachter.

After another exciting but scoreless 90 minutes, forward Brian Ching – playing through a torn meniscus – hit a swiveling volley to the top left side netting five minutes into overtime to lift Houston to another memorable home playoff win and a spot in the Western Conference final for the third time in four years.
The Houston Dynamo advanced to the Western Conference championship game with a dramatic 1-0 overtime win against the Seattle Sounders Sunday at Robertson Stadium. Forward Brian Ching scored the game-winning goal with a swiveling volley in the 95th minute, netting his 50th career Dynamo goal in all competitions and sixth for the Dynamo in the postseason, both club records. It was his 10th goal of the season in all competitions.
The Dynamo advance to their third conference championship game in four years and will face the winner of Sunday night's Chivas USA vs. Los Angeles Galaxy game. If the Galaxy win, they will host the conference final on Friday night at 10 p.m. CT. If Chivas USA wins, the Dynamo will host the conference final next Sunday at 3:30 p.m. CT.
Houston controlled possession and outshot Seattle 15-11 on the game. Its best chance game in the 23rd minute, when forward Dominic Oduro rifled a shot off the left post.
Seattle's best chance came in the 36th minute, when Dynamo defender Geoff Cameron deflected a Steve Zakuani cross on goal, and goalkeeper Pat Onstad reacted quickly to make the save. Onstad made four saves to earn his second consecutive shutout and third in the last four games. The win was Onstad's 10th and the shutout his fifth in his career in MLS Cup Playoffs action.
After the teams had played 180 scoreless minutes through regulation, the Dynamo got the breakthrough in the 95th minute of the second leg. Brad Davis took a free kick quickly on the left sideline and found Mike Chabala in the corner. Chabala's cross was kept alive at the back post by Brian Mullan, and captain Brian Ching was on hand to volley the ball into the left side netting. Ching also scored game-winning goals for the Dynamo in conference semifinal playoff games in 2006 (stoppage time vs. CHV) and 2007 (extra time vs. FCD).
Seattle's James Riley was ejected in the 120th minute for a hard foul on Ricardo Clark. Each team was also issued two yellow cards. Houston's Mike Chabala received his second yellow card of the first round series, and he will miss the conference final.
The Dynamo are now 5-1 all-time at home in MLS Cup Playoffs games. Defenders Bobby Boswell and Geoff Cameron both made their 40th appearance of the season out of 43 competitive games. Midfielder Stuart Holden made his 75th career start for the Dynamo in all competitions.
Midfielder Corey Ashe came on as a substitute in the 98th minute for the Dynamo, making his first appearance since being injured in the Dynamo Charities Cup on October 11, four weeks ago.
"We did the Houston magic tonight, and that's what we got them on," Dynamo midfielder Stuart Holden said. "I think the mentality was that we were the only team that was going to win. They had a couple of chances on counter attacks and maybe set pieces. Other than that, I was confident that even if they scored, that we would have the chance to get one back as we've done previously in other playoff games. That's the mentality of this team: We are never going to give up, and we knew it was going to take something special tonight. Brian came up with that for us."

...The Monarch
For awhile now I've been wanting to dye yarn based around the colors of The Venture Brothers character The Monarch. I finally got to it this weekend.
I used Wiltons icing colors and used the jar method. I dissolved the food coloring, water and vinegar in a jar and stuffed the yarn in and heated it in the microwave.
The best tool for dyeing based on a photo is a color extractor. I used ColorSuckr. It extracts the 12 most used colors in the photo. For my yarn, I used 6 dyes. 3 different purples, golden yellow, orange and brown.
I plan on knitting it along with black yarn to finish off that perfect Monarch look!
Name: Monarch
Yarn: Patons Classic Wool, natural
Weight: Worsted
Yardage: 223 yards

Innerduro - Innerleithen MTB Race Report
Event: Innerduro - Round 1
Date: 2nd & 3rd February 2013
Place: Innerleithen - Scottish Borders
Riding: Empire Cycles MX-6
Result: 14th out of 97
Saturday - Practice.
Innerleithen never fails to disappoint with its well-built trails that offer a tonne of variety to any kind of rider. Training was going well, and better stil, I had just taken a delivery of the new Empire MX-6 All Mountain Bike. Heading to Innerleithen we would meet up as a new team which included myself, Chris Williams (founder) and a new team mate from Scotland called Tom Anderson.
Saturday practice was very easy going - signing on at 11.00am and a quick briefing of the map showed we would be burning some calories to say the least. We met up in the main car park at the bottom of the track and 30 minutes later we set off to climb to the stages, which all began at the top of the hill. This was the only the second time I had properly been on the new MX-6 and was eager to put it through its paces. Setting off, I set the dropper post into the up position and the climbing began. Locking the suspension out the climbs melted away and the bike felt great. The first stage was my chance to have a go on some proper downhill, unlocked, seat down and dropped in, through the flat turns the bike gave you full confidence in grip, and the turns could be railed, hitting the rougher part the MX-6 soared through, handling like its bigger brother the AP-1, all you wanted was more speed. To summarise, I was very pleased with how the bike went. It feelst great on the downhills and sprints up the climbs!
I'm now looking forward to many more races with it.
Sunday Race day.
Race day was a bit more serious. Riders were keen to set off early to get to the first stage. We set off middle of the pack and began our climb.
Stage 1 was my kind of riding, with a small sprint off the start then into flowing switchbacks. The track then cut off into more of a downhill kind of track, soaking roots and rocks with tight turns whilst being able to link the whoops into gaps - out of the woods and into a 200m climb which had a fair gradient, sprint to the top and a steep drop in, which lead into a faster section similar to the first part, then finally a fast rough straight into a left turn saw you complete the first stage.
Stage 2 was a killer! A boggy long flat straight had you sprinting for a good 2 minutes. This was made up by the fast flowing man-made single track and the steep technical downhill style woods. This second stage was hard on the lungs and legs - with 11 minutes of nonstop attacking, it was one you were glad to finish! You would be forgiven for thinking I didnt enjoy this one as much but this stage was one of the best, it's my kind of riding and it had everything, with all kinds of variety, jumps, sprints, technicality and flow, finishing the second stage you dropped onto the fire road and sprinted uphill to clock your finish.
Stage 3 was the final stage. After riding the long route back from Stage 2, many were glad to have a quick breather and to sample the refreshments supplied. Stage 3 started were the iXS Cup started from last year - a flat sprint off the start had your legs burning for a good minute! - you then climbed for about 5 metres and dropped into the man-made trail, with its flowing switchbacks that gave you a quick break before you dropped into the new wooded section they had built for this event.
This part was the type of riding I usually ride, with fresh loam and roots, the track soon got beaten up over the weekend. Big ruts ran down long steep chutes and the was little choice but to ride it out. Dirty sly roots were covered by wet mud which kept you on your toes and the bottom part ran into steep tight switchbacks which were a little tricky to get round. Towards the end the track ran onto a fire road and a long sprint to the final part of the last stage. The last part used the most man-made features of the stage, hard packed berms and ground, this final sprint to finish saw your lungs gasping and the legs burning, round a few sweeping switchbacks, off a small jump and into a long landing.
At the bottom of the landing was the final dibber to sign you off, full speed and then a sudden slam of the brakes to scan your dibber to gain those vital seconds! :-)
Now I have completed my first Enduro, and finished a pretty respectable 14th (only 24 seconds off a top 10 position!), I can comfortably say I cannot wait until the next round, these types of races offer full days riding of the bike and almost every sort of riding you can ask for, first one down and many more to go!
Empire would like to thank our sponsors for their continued support:

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez hold hands at AMAs
JUSTIN BIEBER's romance with SELENA GOMEZ appeared to be back on at the American Music Awards on Sunday night (18Nov12) - the young stars were spotted holding hands at the prizegiving.
The Boyfriend hitmaker was the toast of the Los Angeles ceremony after scooping three trophies, including Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist, Favorite Pop/Rock Album and Artist of the Year.
And while it was his mum Pattie Mallette who sat by his side throughout the show, Gomez was on hand to help him celebrate his wins at the end of the night, according to E! Online gossip reporter Marc Malkin.
Malkin was tweeting live from the AMAs at the Nokia Theatre, and told his followers, "Guess who apparently showed up at the end of the AMAs... Selena Gomez. She was spotted backstage holding hands with... Justin Bieber!"
Bieber was rumoured to have called time on his relationship with the Disney star earlier this month (Nov12), but they sparked rumours of a reconciliation when they arrived at a hotel together in L.A. last week (15Nov12).

Happy Friday, everyone! Here, have some Apple links from the week:
- If you're an Apple pro applications user, you may be interested in the ProKit 4.5 update released earlier this week. The update affects Aperture, Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express, Logic Studio, and Logic Express, and improves the "reliability" of these apps.
- Apple has apparently slashed its orders for iPhones, iPods, and MacBooks once again this quarter, according to a research note by FBR Research analyst Craig Berger. The cut is the result of lower sales. "For both iPods and iPhones, we believe Apple was previously targeting a roughly 50 percent quarter-over-quarter decline for first quarter units, whereas, we now think the firm is targeting a 60 percent quarter-over-quarter unit decline for first quarter units," he wrote.
- By now, we're all aware of Woz's Segway polo habits, but have any of us actually played it? Woz thinks it's important to learn the basics of safely using a Segway before participating in polo, so he has posted a video online that teaches simple ways to handle your newfound steed. This is only interesting because it has Woz in it, really.
- While we're dishing about Apple-related celebrities, far too many of you told me about Justin Long (the Mac in Apple's "Get a Mac" advertising campaign) and his little iPhone accident. Long revealed this week that he is—or was—an iPhone user. That is, until he dropped it in the pool. Oops.
- The (infamous) Mac Hack Contest is back this year, but with an extra twist. Organizer of the CanSecWest conference where the contest is being held, Dragos Ruiu, told IDG that other operating systems may be involved this time around. "We're thinking of having a contest where we have Vista and OS X and Linux ... and see which one goes first," he said
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I would say that I won't be working this weekend like I have been, but... that would be a lie. If it's not subzero where you live, enjoy the weather so that the rest of us can live vicariously through you.

All Sprung Out: Leaf Spring 101Posted in How To: Suspension Brakes on October 1, 2010
We ain't like them fancy magazines what get all uppity with them coilovers and chain-link suspensions. If two pairs of leaf springs were good enough for those WWII GIs, they're good enough for us.
Well, actually, coilovers, multi-link suspensions, and all that fancy jazz have their place. But for all the technology, geometry, and intricacies of making them work, it's really hard to beat good old-fashioned leaf springs. When you think about it, leaf springs are amazing critters. They locate your axles longitudinally underneath your vehicle while still allowing a semi-elliptic arc of travel to smooth bumps. And they do it all with a steadily increasing, linearly compounding spring rate that can deliver smooth-yet-predictable performance off-road. As the top leaf compresses, it encounters the leaves below it. The spring rate ramps up at a rate determined by the thickness and number of leaves in the pack. A good spring builder can tailor a spring pack based on vehicle weight and usage that will rival the plushness of most coilover systems without the worry about all that anti-sway, body-rolling, tire-jacking nonsense. So follow along as we check out a few leaf spring factoids that may make you go vintage on your next suspension design.

I really have to know. Honestly the past few shows the sound has been horrible. Either the person running it has no idea what they are doing or they sounds quality is shitty. I mean from Ring Entrances to the Announcements.
At some points the music will either crack, be too low or the sound won't be checked and it will sound like someone chewing on broken glass. Same goes for the announcements or promos.
A few instances I'd have to point out would be at Against the Grain, Kenny Kings music was all screwed up. Then the other entrances were screwed up, the sound was jared and broken. At BOLA there was an announcement we couldn't hear.
I'd love to change all that but who would I bring this up too???
