GAC, you around today?
GAC, you around today?
Thanks Caveat Emperor for the quips and chuckles!Originally Posted by Caveat Emperor
Although I am also quite sure that when Griff threw that in he said, WOW, that's no noodle arm Johnny Damon
What are some links to the Reds game so I can get it on the internet radio feed? Thanks.
Is Liriano afraid of mighty Tony Womack? I think so, walks him on 4 pitches.
Liriano on the hill. Why can't Krivsky trade for guys like this?
1.) Tony Womack steps into the batters box. RedsZone erupts into a chorus of boos. Womack takes a walk on 4 straight pitches. He displays anger while trotting up the first base line at the thought of his OBP rising slightly.
1 on, 0 out.
2.) Felipe Lopez with a line drive base hit. Somewhere, Dave Miley mutters about Aurillia not getting enough ABs. 1st and 2nd with 0 outs. Reds, shall we say, threatening...
3.) Ken Griffey Jr. bounces to the shortstop, with the only play going to the 1st baseman to retire Jr. The runners advance. BadFundamentalness Factor: 3.
4.) Edwin Encarnacion hits a rocket ground rule double to drive in the first 2 runs of the game for the Reds. 2 runs score for the good guys. Narron tells reporters that Louisville fans can look forward to lots of that from Edwin this year. 2-0 Reds.
5.) Dunn grounds out to the first baseman, with the pitcher covering. Can't stress the importance of pitchers fielding practice often enough. Dunn robbed of a hit, the runner advances. The joy of making contact and moving the runner over. Scrappiness Factor: 4. 3rd with 2 out.
6.) Rich Aurillia decides there's just too much fun happening in this inning, and kills the party with a groundout to 3rd. Inning over.
Going to the 2nd, Reds 2, Twinks 1.

One thing you will find about Arroyo and IMO it's quite reminiscent of Bret Saberhagen's mound demeanor. If they have men on they 'bring it.' It's almost like they are mad that they have 'men on.' I'm not comparing Arroyo's pitching to a Cy Young award winner, but you see some pitchers get rattled and you see guys make bad pitch selections under pressure. Arroyo gets finer tuned pitching from the stretch. He will change an arm angle on a curve and the hitter will have no idea what's coming. Arroyo could throw a strike from over his head, side arm and underhand if he wanted to.

Encarnacion contiunes to shine -- we have a future star on our hands!

CE, not cool with the EE comment!
Bronson Arroyo takes the hill. Marc Lancaster takes the mic in the booth. Can life be any better?
1.) Rob Bowen leads off with a strikeout. Lancaster comments that the injury to Wise opens the door to Quinten McCracken. Lancaster also says the 3 catchers situations doesn't make any sense and that a trade is going to be made in the very near future.
2.) Jason Bartlet flies out to Kearns. To the delight of these ears, he says that he also expects a 2nd baseman to be moved, citing Tony Womack as the best option.
Reds apparently signed Alex Sanchez today too. Joy.
3.) Liriano strikes out as well. 2 punchouts for Arroyo, who goes back to the clubhouse to surf on SOSH and lament about his lack of Red Soxiness.
Not much from Lancaster...Arroyo needs to learn that Reds pitchers are supposed to blow up in the 2nd inning so we can get a lot of good dirt.
Coming to the bottom of the 2nd, Reds 2 - Twinks 1.
Cincinnati Here We Go.

3 Ks for the new reds pitcher... not bad.

Nice hat, Bob..
Liriano back on the mound. Reds looking to do some more damage, just because that's the only thing they do well, generally.
1.) Austin Kearns works the count full, pimping is #P/PA stat, before gracefully exiting via the whiff. Maybe with those big ears, he'd be better off doing the Daredevil thing and closing his eyes to use the one sense God must've truly blessed him with.
2.) Jason LaRue grounds out. Marty and Steve go off on the linguistics of spring training and encourage fans not to get caught up in spring training numbers. Especially those belonging to Tony Womack.
3.) Bronson Arroyo with the stick. Marty acts as Arroyo's road manager and encourages Cincinnati local tavern owners to book Arroyo's act. Apparently he's never heard Bronson plaay. Bronson chops it to 3rd and is thrown out. He goes back to the dugout, obviously mad, stating that in Boston they never made him hit.
After 2, Reds 2 - Twinks 1.

GOLDFINGER- ================= AURIC ENTERPRISES ================= When you have control of Bond, move into the next room. His cellphone is lying on the ground, ringing next to a bed with a dead, gold-painted girl lying on top. Pick up the phone by holding X and then watch the title sequence. When that's over, you'll be in a shipyard. Move to the next objective marker, and enemies will start appearing from everywhere. Kill them in any manner that you see fit. There is a crevice in the ground with a better gun if you want to grab that. Either kill all the enemies or run by them to the next objective marker, which leads to a door. Hold X to open the door. An explosion will kill the janitor. Go through the next door, and you'll be outside again. A few pipes will roll along the ground, and enemies will be in abundance. I suggest sprinting to the nearest building and taking cover there. From cover, pick off any enemies that you see, and then make a dash for the destroyed building. Climb up the rubble and then open the next door. Pick the intel up off the ground. There is a supply cache that has a padlock on it, so break the padlock to access the content inside if you're in need of new weaponry. Turn to the fire that is blocking the path and look at the ceiling above it. There's a water pipe there, so shoot the pipe to cause a spray of water to put out the fire. Sit tight until the fire is out, and then go through the door. Quickly get behind cover, and then peak out to shoot the enemies through the window in the warehouse-style area below. Then run to the next objective marker which will lead you to a machine. Hold X to use the machine, which opens the bridge way. Move across the bridge and then work your way up the stairs. Red explosive canisters here can be shot which will blow up and kill more enemies. Go through the next door and duck down so that the enemies below can't get to you. Push the d-pad to the right to equip the smartphone, and then press Y once to enable its hacking capabilities. Aim the smartphone at the designated machine. A hacking mini-game will then commence. In this mini-game, you have two frequencies on the right and left sides. Using the left trigger and the right trigger, match the cursors on the frequencies long enough and simultaneously to complete the hack. Once it has been hacked, hold X at the computer to screw up their systems. This will cause a laser to slice through thick metal fencing, which will allow you to move through a couple areas. Move there now and sprint through until the game literally stops you. It will ask if you'd like to do the stealth tutorial, but skip it, as it is common sense and I'll walk you through the stealth sections in the game anyway. The big giant door will open. Amazingly, the enemies will be completely oblivious to your presence. Press B to crouch and move up the stairs to the left. In the next room, quickly run up behind the enemy and press on the right analog stick to silently take him out. Then break open the weapon cache to grab a sniper with a silencer. Peak your head out of the room and use that to kill the guard leaning against the rail. Now you are free to move this way and down the stairs. Your objective is below you, so quietly make your way to the area below by going down the stairs. You shouldn't have to kill any more guards, but if it will make you feel more comfortable, pick off a couple as they are walking by the ledge so that when they die, they fall over their ledge and you won't run the risk of their bodies being discovered. Below, you'll be tasked with taking photographs of evidence that is supposed to prove Goldfinger is smuggling gold out of the country. Equip the smartphone again with the d-pad, and move to each of the three objective marker. Press X to snap photos, but if you have to do in front of each object and you have to aim the camera at the white box that appears. With the photos taken, move to the next door. Hold X to start opening the door. Rapidly alternate between the left and right triggers and Bond will force the door open. In the next room, you will get a message from MI6 telling you that there is toxic gas in the room. Equip the smartphone and then switch to the scanner, marked by a fingerprint icon at the top of the screen. Scan the area and a gas trail will be picked up. Follow the gas into the next room. Bond will overhear a conversation between Pussy Galore and Goldfinger's lieutenant. When she leaves, kill everyone in the room. Make your way down the stairs and then follow the gas trail to a door that is shut with a valve. Hold X and Bond will open the door and hide in the truck outside that has the toxic gas canisters. Goldfinger himself will reprimand Pussy Galore and then leave. This next section requires that you be stealthy, but it is very easy to make it by the guards. Wait for the two of them to walk away from each other, and then go to the door. Hold X to open the door and then move down the hallway and sneak up behind Galore. She will agree to help you expose Goldfinger. Move into the elevator with her and use the elevator controls to ride to the top. A guard will be there, and Bond will throw him into the elevator. This will result in a melee battle. Use LT and RT to avoid his attacks, and move the left and right analog sticks in the direction that the game tells you to in order to defeat them. Then continue down the hall. There are two guards around the corner. Equip the watch and then hold LT to aim it. Hold RT to fire the laser. Aim the laser at the speaker on the wall that is clear at the other end of the hall. Hold the laser there until it makes a noise. The guards will go to investigate. Sneak up behind the first one and quietly take him out. Then sneak up on the next guard and take him out as well. Move up the stairs. Use weapon cache to mess with your loadout, and then look at the keypad. Equip the smartphone and go to the scanner function. There will be four fingerprints. The most faded fingerprint is the first number that was pressed. The code is 1703. Inside Goldfinger's office, start scanning the area for clues. You'll find Goldfinger's fingerprints on various objects in the room. There is a keypad on the oddly shaped pillar behind the computer desk. If you input the code, a door will slide open on the pillar, revealing the golden gun that can be collected. A safe on the wall can be interacted with. To hack the safe, alternate the three rows to align all the different yellow pieces. It is easiest to start with the inner-most dial, and then work to align that with the middle dial, and then finallyt he outer dial. Goldfinger, Oddjob, and a few cronies arrive. Galore sells you out, and then they leave. Oddjob throws his hat at Bond, so press LT when prompted to dodge it. Bond then runs away, and Oddjob chucks the hat yet again. Press LT to avoid it. Back on your feet, sprint through the area. Have a machinegun equipped to blast away the enemies as they pop up, and work your way to the front doors. Don't stop to fight, but just keep sprinting and keep the ammo flowing until you successfully escape Auric Enterprises. ========= FORT KNOX ========= After the scenes, immediately run to the left and get behind cover. On top of the two towers will be guys with RPGs. Wait for them to fire, then peak out and shoot them both down. Move forward and wait for air support to arrive. There is a weapon cache in the road that contains grenades. After air support arrives, push forward to the gate. Kill the enemies as they pile over the barricade, and then go to the left guard building. Look through the window and then hack the computer using the smartphone to lower the gates. Move forward. Grab the RPGs that are leaning against the guard buildings. A tank with a laser attached to it will roll out of the building and start attacking. Fire about five missiles into it and it will blow up. More ammo can be found near trucks. When it's gone, rush into the building. Move from cover to cover as you blast away at the enemies. Wait for your escort to have his men kick open the set of double doors at the end and then move through. Now you have to follow your buddy through the next few rooms, killing the enemies as you go. It's rather straight-forward up until you reach the power room. In the power room, he will attempt to put out the power. When he's doing this, stay behind cover and defend him from the waves of enemies that are piling into the area. He'll then allow you to finish the job, and he'll protect you. Stay crouched and behind cover, and use the smartphone on the fusebox. Hack into it by rotating the discs so that all the different colors match up with each other. The lights will go out and night vision goggles will automatically be equipped. Now you have to follow Felix in the dark while killing off the enemies as they come. Eventually, you'll split from Felix have to move through a tight area full of security boxes. Enemies tend to pop out around the corners, so keep your trigger finger on the ready. At one point, you'll have to have a melee battle in the dark. But besides that, it's just a straight run to the objective markers. You'll wind up in a hallway with light, and the night vision goggles will automatically be unequipped. Go down the elevator. Felix will be attacked, and then your next objective is to sprint through the next few rooms and hallways to get through before the blast doors close. Mostly ignore the enemies and just keep running. Blind fire at them if they get in your way, but mostly just sprint from objective marker to objective marker until you get through the blast doors. Here, kill all the enemies and move from objective marker to objective marker some more. Work your way down the stairs, and then kill the enemies here as well. Approach the bomb and press X. Oddjob will then attack, so fight him off in a melee-style battle. After his health meter has been drained the first time, Bond will grab a pipe and the battle will continue. Use the triggers to try to dodge Oddjob's strikes and then push both the left and right analog sticks up to smack Oddjob across the face with the pipe. Repeat this until he is defeated. If you are quick enough, you can spam the pipe and keep interrupting Oddjob's attacks. Following a few scenes, Goldfinger will show up on the plane to Washington and try to shoot Bond. Mash on LT to divert his weapon and watch as Goldfinger is sucked out of the plane and dies. -MISSION 02. ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE- ============= ALPINE VALLEY ============= This ski mission can be stressful, but don't worry. Hold LB to speed up on the skis. You have to stay close or else you'll fail the mission. Kill the enemies as they appear, but mainly focus on dodging the trees and speeding down the hill. Slow motion will kick in, and people will fire RPGs. Shoot them and then the slow motion will end. Then continue going down the hill. A helicopter will come into view with a man firing out of the side of the helicopter. Shoot him out of the helicopter, and then dodge the mounds on the ground. You'll then ramp off the cliff. Immediately fire at the helicopter to destroy it before it can kill you. When you land, focus entirely on avoiding the trees, as this is a heavily wooded area. Behind you, an avalance is roaring down the mountain, and Bond will become entrapped inside it. ============== BLOFELD'S LAIR ============== You'll start this mission inside of a helicopter with a sniper rifle. From your position, kill the enemies below with the sniper. Then the helicopter will fly around and you'll be in control of a mounted turret. Blast away at the enemies running around until this sequence ends. Fight your way into the building. Then work your way up the stairs. Wipe out all the enemies and continue to the objective marker. There is a secret door here that needs to be opened. Switch to the scanner on your smartphone to see that the decoration hanging on the wall is actually a switch. Push it to open the secret door. Move into the secret areas and then you will be outfitted with night vision goggles. Fight your way through the dark. There will be a melee fighting sequence, but there's nothing you can't handle. Eventually you'll find the girl in a large, dark room. Clear the room and then speak with her. After this, move into the middle of the room. Another secret door will open up and guards will pour into the area. Kill them and stealthily move to the next objective. The guards are easily bypassed, but it's also easy to kill them all. As long as you crouch and move behind them, it's easy to just walk on by. A keypad controls the lock to Blofeld's office. Use the scanner to get the code and then input the buttons to unlock the door. Head inside, and then start scanning all over the place. A keypad on the wall can be used to bring down a big map of the world, and then a safe can be unlocked. Crouch and look under the desk. Hack the control panel that is attached to the bottom of the desk, which will bring up a bunch of information on the map. Bring out your smartphone and then equip the camera. Snap a picture of the map, and then Blofeld will lock you in the room with poison gas! Shoot out the glass, and then run into the next area and start killing all of the guards in the way. Sprint to the next objective markers and run by the enemies in pursuit of Blofeld. You'll then find a control panel that is powering the skylift that Blofeld attempted to escape on. Shoot the lock off the gate and then hold X to power off the lifts. Move onto the roof and then Bond will zipline to the next lift. He'll take out the two enemies automatically. Pick up the RPGs and then use it to blow up the helicopter that flies into view. And then Bond will get involved in a melee skirmish with Blofeld. Fight off Blofeld using the typical melee mechanics. He will try to use an axe once his health has been drained the first time, so be prepared to press A to block the attack, then mash on LT to disarm him. Beat up on Blofeld again until his health meter is drained and he will be defeated. -MISSION 03. LICENSE TO KILL- ======== REFINERY ======== Bond begins this mission with a brand new toy. The dart gun can be used to improve stealth and take enemies out from afar. It has three settings. You can shoot a tranquilizer dart, a "distraction" dart, and a shocking dart that. This level begins at a temple area, and if you move forward a bit, you'll see a guard walking around. Sneak up behind him and take him out. Loot the case for a sniper rifle, and now you have three different options. You can sprint through this place and hurry inside the complex, enemies be damned. You can quietly move from cover to cover and use the tranquilizer to take out enemies before they can see you. Or you can sit tight and shoot them all from afar. It's up to you. At any rate, inside the complex, you will have to plant bombs on three different weapon caches. It's best to remain sneaky here to avoid being overwhelmed with guards. However, if you are overwhelmed, then you can use the vents to halt the damage being done to you and make an escape. Plant the three bombs and then move to the ventilation shaft as designated by the objective marker. Move through the shaft and it will open up into another room. Leave this room, and you will once again be tasked with planting three explosives. Use the dart gun a lot at this part. Shoot as many guards with it as possible from your current position before moving to the first weapon cache that needs an explosive attached to it. Then move to the second weapon cache by hugging the right side of the room, staying in the dark in case there are any enemies that you missed. Plant the bomb, and then move to the next cache, which is right up the stairs. Plant the bomb and then hurry through to the next room. This is a forced-stealth area. Wait for the guards to walk away. Sneak up on the guard leaning against the rail and take him out. Then move down the stairs. Knock out the first scientist. Use a tranquilizer on the armed guard down here, and sneak by the other scientists. Go up the stairs and take the elevator down. There will be two guards in the next hallway. Sneak behind them. One when starts to lag behind, knock him out. Then knock out the next guard. In the next room, there will be three guards. Two of them will be talking, and the other will be leaning against the railing. Hug the right side of the room and sneak up on the guard on the railing. Knock him out. The door to Sanchez's office is locked. To unlock it, there is a device on the wall directly across from where the guard was looking. Hack the device and complete the color puzzle to unlock the door. Inside his office, loot the safe and then take out your smartphone. Switch to the hacking part of the phone to follow a wire from the globe in the room to a panel on a stone pillar. Push the panel and the globe will pop up. Walk over and take the evidence that proves Sanchez is a terrorist. Exit this room and backtrack a bit. Bond will then detonate the charges. Sprint through the area and fight off the enemies. Go from objective marker to objective marker and don't slow down. When you reach Sanchez, he'll escape, and you will have to do battle with his bodyguard Dario. This plays out like a typical melee battle in the game. Drain his first health meter. Then dodge the pipe he grabs, use the analog stick the game tells you to to parry, and then mash A to disarm him. Follow that up with a sequence of melee attacks to put him away. Now Bond and Pam have to pursue Sanchez. Get a shotgun and run with her through the areas. There will be guards and fire everywhere. Avoid the fire and only kill the guards when necessary. Use grenades generously to take out groups of guards at a time. Sprint and fight your way to the helicopter and then make your way to the control tower. Grab the infrared scoped sniper rifle out of the weapon box on the ground. Then protect Pam as she makes her way to the helicopter. Pick off the enemies as they appear. When she gets in the helicopter, hold X to open the hatch so that the two of you can escape in the helicopter. ============== MOUNTAIN ROADS ============== This is a driving mission. Swerve around on the road to avoid the RPG missiles being fired at you. Keep accelerating until you catch up with Sanchez. When you're close enough, Bond will climb out of his jeep and leap across to the semi truc that Sanchez is driving. On the top of the truck, shoot the guy that's standing there with a machinegun. Then shoot the people to the left and right that are sticking their heads out of their vehicles to shoot at you. This will cause them to explode for some reason. Push the left analog stick forward so Bond slowly walks to the end of the truck. Other enemies may drive up along the side, so be ready to turn quickly and shoot them. Keep pushing forward until Bond reaches the front of the semi, and then do the QTE inside the truck bed. The truck will crash. After this, you have to do another melee battle. First disarm Sanchez in the typical fashion. Then beat him up until his health meter has been drained, and this will be enough to defeat him. -MISSION 04. DIE ANOTHER DAY- ========= ICE HOTEL ========= Walk over your contact at the ice bar. Hold X to speak with her. Then start to follow her out of the bar. Graves will show up. Pull out your smartphone and zoom in on his face. Press X to snap a photo, and then continue following your contact. She will lead you to Graves's room. There is nothing to scan in here, but check out the device on the bed. Interact with the device. Graves's thugs will show up. Bond and the girl will hide, listen to the conversation, and then go to the presentation. After the presentation, use the tranq darts to take out the guards. Then keep moving through the area until you reach a rocky, tropical-like part of the hotel grounds. Move near the rocks to remain undetected and stick to the shadows. When you see a huge locked gate, use the watch to disable the camera next to the gate. The gate controls are to the left of the gate on a wall. Press all the buttons so that there is a light above each of them. Then move over to the gate and go through as it automatically opens. Work your way to the hotel, and quietely, or violently, fight through the enemies. There will be a couple of instances of fusebox puzzles, so be aware of that. As you work your way up to the top of the hotel, you can definitely remain undetected if you just knock each enemy out one at a time. Hack your way into Graves's office and then check the device on the table. He'll reveal he has captured your contact and is about to fry her with a laser. What ensues is a melee battle with Graves's right-hand man. Drain his health meter twice to defeat him. And now you have to escape the hotel. Don't sprint through the area as your health won't regenerate and there is such a ridiculous amount of enemies. Move forward at all times and keep two machineguns on you. Waste their clips and then find a place for respite and reload both of them before continuing. As you move out of the hotel, lasers will start blasting down at the ground. When you see a laser, wait for it to explode or else you will be damaged and will probably die. Stick to the strategy of just moving through the area and shooting the enemies as they come. You'll reach the tropical area, and there will be a bridge with two snipers on it. Hide behind the cover and wait for the laser to explode, which will kill the two snipers. Then continue into the next area. Kill the snipers here and then stick to the rocks. This will make it so only a couple enemies can confront you at each time. When you reach the actual hotel, shoot the snipers before moving into the building. Then sprint through to the front doors and move outside. With that, this level will conclude. ======== ICE LAKE ======== Driving the car, you'll realize that driving on ice kind of sucks. 006 will then tell you to equip the car's traction for driving on ice. Do this by pushing left on the d-pad. Next Graves's goon that you fought with earlier will show back up and start firing misiles at you. To help avoid the missiles, activate the threat detection system by pushing "up" on the d-pad. This shows where the missiles are going to land so you can move out of the way. This also shows when an Icarus beam is about to go off, so you can avoid those as well. He will move in front of you eventually. At this point, press "right" on the d-pad to equip missiles. Drive behind him and wait for it to lock on, and then press B to fire missiles. Keep doing this and eventually he will get caught in an Icarus beam and die. Your next task is driving into Graves's huge cargo plan. Drive directly behind the plane. Make slight adjustments to the left or right as boxes comes flying out of the back. Basically, if you get hit by a box one time, you will lose. With that in mind, avoid the boxes and then get on the back of the plane by speeding onto the back. =================== GRAVES' CARGO PLANE =================== Stay behind cover and kill the enemies in the room. Grab their machineguns and then move into the next room. Use the cover still and take out all of the enemies in this room. Then move into the next room and do the same. Make your way to the door to the Icarus control room and hold X. Inside, Bond will be attacked by Graves. As you could guess, you have to do a QTE-filled melee battle with him. Once he's defeated, move back to the cargo hold. Run to the button next to the cargo hold and press X to open it up. Avoid the vehicles and crates that roll out of it. Shoot the straps off the helicopter and then run over to the side of it. Bond will automatically climb in and escape. -MISSION 05. MOONRAKER- ========== SPACE PORT ========== Sneak up behind the guy in the yellow suit. Knock him out. Use the dart gun to put everyone else to sleep. Notice the camera on the wall near the door you have to go through. Use the laser on your watch to overload and disable the camera. Move through the door. Put everyone to sleep in this room and go through the door. Sit tight in the chamber, and when it opens, approach the woman. After speaking with her, move into the nearby room to investigate. Press the button on the control panel, and then snap a photo of the tanks that are revealed. Move back into the hall. Toxic gas will fill in the room, killing the scientists. When the gas goes away, follow the woman to the door. She'll open it with her keycard. Go through and use your smartphone to trace the electrical line. Hack the device, then gather the evidence. Guards will show up outside. Quietly take them out, and then go back through the decontamination chamber. Kill the enemies and work your way through the next rooms. You'll then come across a door locked with a keypad. Check the number on the door. However, you'll find the keypad is not powered. Use your smartphone to trace the electrical line through the walls to find the fusebox. Hack the fusebox. Unfortunately, this also activates laser-guided turrets. These will block the keypad. Follow the electrical line of the turrets into the next hall. Silently take out the guard here. Follow the other one into the room with the exercising clones. Take him out. Then knock out all the clones before they can sound they alarm. Go across the hall and take out everyone in this room. Then move through the ventilation shaft. Press the big red buttons on BOTH walls in here to disable all the turrets. Work your way back to the keypad. Use the keypad now. You'll be in yet another office. Use your smartphone to trace the electrical wire in the ground to the nearby set of books. Then switch to the "tracing" mode of your smartphone and note the fingerprints that are on the books. Pull out the book with the most fingerprints, which will move a painting that reveals a hidden safe. Go to the safe and hack into it. Grab the items inside. Follow your contact into the next chamber. You need to get to the controls, but this is a forced- stealth section. Follow the catwalk to the stairs that lead up to the door you are supposed to go through. Tranq the guard here. Go up the stairs and tranq the next guard. Open the door. There are three guards in here, and you still must remain undetected. Move around the room in a circle, crouched, with your tranquilizer dart equipped. One by one, pick off each guard with the tranq without being seen. Hack into the system as told. Guards will swarm in. Kill them all. Now you have to shutdown the mainframe. Follow the electrical lines to three big red buttons. Push them all so that the lights above them disappear. Kill all the enemies that come in, and then try to leave. Now you will have to do battle with Jaws. This is another melee fight. After his health meter is drained, Bond will grab a steel pipe. Quickly push both the left and right analog sticks up at Jaws to swing the pipe at him three times in succession to defeat him. After the scenes, you will wake up in the blast chamber. Turn off one of the fans by ripping the fusebox open and hacking it. Then run through the chamber. Hang by the ventilation shaft and then rip it open. Run through the shaft and sprint to the door before it closes. Make your way to the room with the astronaut gear. Put the gear on, and then you will be tossed a weapon. Kill all the enemies in the slow motion segment, and then kill the rest in the halls. You need to move through the area quickly and pick off all the enemies as you go. You'll reach a control room. Kill every enemy in here. Hack the console. Kill the rest of the enemies that come, and then hack the next console. In the next room, fight your way to the helicopter. Kill everyone in the area, and then hold X to take control of the helicopter. As the helicopter is flown around, pick off the enemies that come out of the buildings. They will fire lasers at you as well as RPGs. Focus on taking out the foes with RPGs first as they can destroy the helicopter. Shoot explosive tanks and barrels to take out multiple enemies at once. When the helicopter sequence is over, run over to the space bridge and then make your way into the shuttle. ============= SPACE STATION ============= The first three rooms require you to be entirely stealthy. Use the dart gun a lot in this section. There will be two targets in the first room. Tranq them both then go into the next room. There will be three in here. Choke out the closest one and then tranq the other two and take the lift down. In the next room, there will once again be three guys. Knock out the first one, and tranq the other two. Then go through to the next room. Ignore all the scientists as they will not see you as long as you are shooting the dart gun from afar. The poison pods are being launched. Look through the glass floor to get the serial numbers of each pod as it is about to launch. The numbers are the big red numbers to the left and right of the pods that are being launched, which are designated by the objective marker. A745 is the first serial number. The console with the Greek "A" symbol is the one you want. Input 745 there to stop that launch. Next go to the console at the far end of the room and input 164 on the console marked with the "B". Then go to the middle "Y" console and input 261. Be quick when doing this as you are timed. After the scenes, you will be in a zero gravity segment, which will net you an achievement with 0G. Clever! Kill everyone in here using your laser. Hold B to descend and A to ascend. Wipe out all the enemies and then float your way outside, into space. There are turrets that are destroying the back-up shuttles coming to save the day. Destroy these turrets with the laser. You'll have to float out into space to get the last one. If any enemies give you problems, kill them as well, but you'll have back-up now. Return to the missile pod area. Mechanical arms will begin trying to launch the pods again. You have two chances to destroy them. Once when they are at the top and once when they are at the bottom. Their core will be revealed at these points. Fire a full clip into their cores to blow them up. The first one will be alone, so it's not too hard. However, #2 and #3 will go at the same time, so you have to work quickly. #4, #5, and #6 all move at the same time as well, so be very quick at destroying them and don't reload. Just waste your clip into them as much as you can. When the mechanical arms have been destroyed, approach the bottom of the glass. Plant the bomb by holding X.

Which "conventional wisdom" Seahawk labels do you think will be proven incorrect in 2013? For example, I dont buy that Pete HAS to coach a team which runs at least 50% of the time.
At USC Pete seemingly ran whatever offensive plays maximized the offensive talent available. Those teams threw with Palmer, ran with Bush, and were balanced with Sanchez. No one would ever imagine Belicheck would be a pass-happy coach when he took over the Pats (or even Parcells there), but w/Brady he adapted to better fit the talent he had. I think Pete will adapt his game to match having a top 5 QB. Yeah, I dont see Pete throwing 60 times a game. But, I think a 2008-09 Saints TYPE offense is not out of the question.
Another label I think is false is Baldwin being too slight, fragile, etc. I expect a monster year from him in 2013. Dude works to hard and came on too strong late last season. I think last year was a fluke thing.

Looking For Alaska by John Green
Read by: Kevin/Copley Teen Room Intern
John Green's Looking for Alaska focuses on Miles Halter's first year at a prestigious boarding school in Alabama. Miles decides to leave his family and "school friends" in Florida to find what he describes as the "Great Perhaps." In other words, he wants to find adventure, excitement, girls, and true friendship. Miles narrates the reader through his experiences with sex, smoking, alcohol, love, friendship and death. He also meets "The Colonel" (his roommate) and Alaska. Both of whom smoke cigarettes way too much, love sex and drama, and drink alcohol as if it were water.
By coming into contact with The Colonel and Alaska, Miles is placed into a tight group of friends that will seemingly do anything for each other. And there lies the importance of Green's novel. He shows us that by developing true friendship with others, we have to take on the responsibility to uphold the loyalty, and trust that comes with real friendship.
This book made me laugh hysterically and I am not ashamed to say (this is a grown man typing, mind you) that it made me want to cry. The characters go through so many ups and downs in this novel. And I couldn't get over the fact that everybody's life is filled with ups and downs and we have to rely on our friends and loved ones to get through those tough times and celebrate and enjoy everything when we're feeling invincible. Green has written a true to life novel in Looking for Alaska. Check it out, read it, and experience this story. I suspect you will not be disappointed when you finish.

Capistrano Meteorite [1]
The swallows are coming back to Capistrano. A celebration kicks off next week at the mission in San Juan Capistrano, where the little birds have migrated for decades.
Another visitor from above descended on the California town 40 years ago today: a meteorite - a rock from beyond Earth. It crashed into the aluminum roof of a carport and split apart. The owners found the biggest piece the next morning on the floor of the carport. They found a much smaller piece about a month later while cleaning the gutter.
The pieces didn't add up to much - only about two ounces in all. But the meteorite represents a treasure to scientists, because it helps them understand more about the early solar system.
The San Juan Capistrano meteorite is classified as a chondrite. That means it contains small bits of rock that melted then resolidified long ago. Chondrites probably formed at the same time as Earth and the other planets of the solar system. As a result, they may reflect the composition of the original cloud of dust from which the planets formed - four and a half billion years ago.
This meteorite is especially valuable because it was picked up within hours of landing, so scientists know it hadn't been changed by exposure to Earth's atmosphere. It should preserve a good sampling of the materials present at the birth of the planets - an important scientific gift that descended on a California town.

- Methods development in protein crystallography
- I am broadly interested in developing and applying new technologies and new computational techniques to problems of molecular structure. I have worked on beamline design, robotics, and the creation of new and better computational tools for modelling, analyzing, visualizing and interpreting protein structures. One ongoing project is the use of TLS models to detect and describe local flexibility in proteins. These models are applicable to protein-protein docking and to model ligand binding at a flexible binding site.
- Structural genomics
- My lab is one of several UW groups interested in using structural genomics to identify opportunities for drug design targetting parasitic diseases. The MSGPP (Medical Structural Genomics of Pathogenic Protozoa) Consotium has successfully identified and characterized several promising target proteins from these disease organisms.
- Structure-based drug design
- One current project is the development of drugs targetting Ca-dependent Protein Kinases (CDPKs), a class of proteins found in apicomplexan parasites but not in humans. We have identified very promising nanomolar CDPK inhibitors that are active against Cryptosporidia and Toxoplasma. Further work may capitalize on the presence of homologous target proteins in the malarial parasite (Plasmodia) and in the related protozoan pest Eimeria. This work is a collaboration with UW groups in the departments of Chemistry, Global Health, and Medicine.

Who is the 'digital user'?
February 22, 2011 7 Comments
The first part of this phrase is easy to understand: "Digital" here refers to data that are recorded and stored electronically, using binary code. We can now create or convert written language, spoken language, static and kinetic images, and all sounds that are capable of being heard by human beings, in digital formats.
But who or what is is the "user"? It seems that the original use of this term was very specific, referring to a localised community of regular users or visitors to a particular library files in a building. Generally speaking, this community was reasonably homogenous: the community could be described demographically by age, socio-economic position, types of work or industry, lifestyle, age and so forth. It was therefore relatively easy to draw conclusions quite quickly about such large groups of people, and additionally, extrapolating what they are reading habits might be. For example, if there were large numbers of school children using a particular library, it was likely that there would be a heavy demand for those resources which supported and helped with homework assignments; a preponderance of elderly people might suggest a number of visitors who lingered, reading newspapers and magazines, and so on.
"User studies", as an area of study within the discipline, has perhaps not receive the amount of attention that the discipline/profession should demand. Much early work in the discipline/profession involved solving the technical problems that were involved in handling physical collections. But once upon a time, the librarian/scholar knew each and every one of his/her users personally, and knew what they knew or alternatively, what they didn't know. There was no need for user studies. When libraries became very large indeed after the invention of printing, the librarian scholar not only lost touch with the content of all the books under his/her management, but also with the masses of users, or visitors, to the establishment.
As information professionals, we have an expressed dedication to providing a service: specifically, an information service. But how would we ever know whether the services that we provided were in fact appropriate for our users without knowing more about the users themselves? For some time, user studies appeared to constitute rather general surveys of users, sometimes even based on personal and subjective observations, and these resulted largely in stereotypes. For example, " Ten-year-old boys will read Harry Potter books". My son didn't. Such user studies had the additional defect that they only looked at those who physically visited the library; not those who have never visited at all nor those who had others borrowing items on their behalf. An "information user" was somebody who not only visited the library, but did borrow books and was an enrolled member; "information users" who did not visit the library or were not members of the library, as were not considered as such. The very thought that people were using information that lay outside the walls of the library was not even considered, and such information is regarded as of poor quality, if not subversive.
There are many problems with this construction of an information user. The most glaringly obvious is that there has been no research that I can find that examines the ways in which people use the information that they find in a library – or indeed beyond its walls – in their lives, apart, perhaps from Elfrida Chatman. There is an assumption that the use of this information has "good" outcomes, otherwise why would people want it? Furthermore, the library user is constructed as somebody who reads: reading itself, as an activity, is seen as "good". It is logical though to suggest that some reading may be good, but some reading may be downright bad, and some may have no interest at all: a little like tasting the porridge of the three bears in the story. Librarians have tended to avoid approaching this issue, which has resulted in a paradox: on the one hand, librarians have sought to provide a selection of materials that are deemed to be appropriate and good; on the other hand, it can be said that such selection involves a subtle, or surreptitious, type of censorship. But this matter can be addressed at another time.
Not only does the librarian – or indeed any other information professional – ignore any use of information or documents outside of his/her domain, but the user is also constructed as being deficient in some way. The main stimulus for anybody to visit a library or information centre of any kind is that they have an "information need". In other words, they lack something which the librarian or archivist or records manager can supply, and this is something that is found in a document. But usually all attention is paid to the document itself as a physical artefact: most commonly, a document is provided, or indeed, perhaps even more commonly, directions to a particular document given. How is an information need satisfied when one is given a classification number or an indexing term? This question doesn't seem to have bothered anybody.
I must acknowledge that during the 1990s, interest developed in what is known as "information seeking behaviour", or "human information behaviour". Much of this research was based upon the theory of phenomenology, which contextualises the user within a particular milieu or context. Unfortunately, there are so many factors or elements or phenomena or entities within anybody's context at a particular moment, this research has, for the most part, been rather superficial. For example, a person is embedded in his or her own social construction: gender, for example, is largely understood to be a socially constructed phenomenon. The physical context, with its temperature and light variations, may have an effect on whether a person looks for information or not, or accept information or not. The organisational culture or climate will have an effect; as will the larger social environment, the philosophical and epistemological assumptions of both individual and his or her colleagues; religious persuasion; interest in the topic; personality and so on – the list is practically endless. It is certainly as complex as any given human being on this planet. And to add to this complexity and difficulty, context or situations trial resumed and variable, so that anything that may be true on one particular space – time continuum, may arguably not be true in another.
Working out who precisely a 'digital user' or 'digital information user' is,has become a matter which deserves focused attention. Now that everything except smell and taste can be digitised, information (as binary data) can easily be transmitted far and wide. This means that anybody can access nearly any information at nearly any time, should they have the correct equipment and the knowledge of how to use it. In other words, the digital user is as diverse as the people who live on this planet. The digital user or digital information user cannot be construed as a composite or average of human characteristics even, because of the great diversity that we find in our species at many levels, as indicated. Add to this some of the problems identified above: the construction of the user as needy, the lack of knowledge concerning what people do with information once they get it, or even whether they understand it or not, we can rapidly realise that the global access to information presents a number of challenges. Not least amongst these challenges, is that of language: this is a quite obvious marker of culture. But beyond language, for example if we were to speak symbiotically, there are many images, icons, sounds, colours and so forth which, when represented digitally, may have quite different possible interpretations for different people at different times.
How then are we going to provide information services for people who we have not only not even met, but possibly cannot even imagine that exist? For those of us framed within our own contexts of space, time and culture, it is hard to imagine somebody who exists for the entire lives in a context that is quite different from our own. I am fortunate enough, for example, to live in a soundly constructed house which has clean running water, electricity, space and privacy, and a garden. I have easy access on made roads to schools, hospitals, and shops – as will as any other facility that I might need, such as a gym. I have also been lucky enough to have received an excellent education at school and at university, I have travelled extensively, I can speak several languages, and have always been a voracious reader.
I therefore find it extremely difficult, perhaps impossible, to imagine myself to be a woman who lives in the mountains of Lesotho, who is illiterate, who speaks only Sesotho, and must walk for hours carrying her sick child to a clinic which is visited by a nurse once a week. The same woman has no easy access to clean water, no electricity, and has experienced little beyond her own experience and the experiences that others have had – others who have told her their version of the events that they have experienced. And this woman is not, and may never be, a digital information user. But assuming that one day, using open access information sources and wireless technologies, and hoping that she or her children will be literate, she will be – even if secondhand through her children. With all due respect, her information needs will be not only substantially different from mine, in terms of what we find interesting or useful, but there will undoubtedly be a number of other differences and distinctions, but I cannot really understand how different, nor what I need to do, as an information professional, in order to solve any information problems that she may have.
While much important work has been done thus far on the development of digital information resources, most of it is predicated upon the assumption that the digital user will be a Minority world inhabitant: a person who is literate, fluent in possibly more than one language, highly educated on a comparative basis at least, and wealthy enough to have the equipment and connections. This person will also have social demands placed upon him or herself: his/her information needs may or may not be related to how to make a living, how to improve one's financial and social position, how to survive, or even how to enjoy leisure time.
Who do you think the digital user is? Is it someone you know, or someone you've never met? How should your professional relationship be shaped?
I look forward to your comments as ever. All the very best from Sue.

text: It's looking more and more like "Argo" is a lock for the best picture Oscar. Ben Affleck's political thriller notched another win Sunday, winning the Writers Guild of America's adapted screenplay award. It previously swept the top prize at the Golden Globes, the Directors Guild of America, the Screen Actors Guild, and the Producers Guild of America. (Mark Boal won the Writers Guild prize for original screenplay for "Zero Dark Thirty," director Kathryn Bigelow's movie about the CIA's hunt for Osama bin Laden.) A few weeks ago, you'll recall, Ben's brother Casey Affleck predicted "Argo" would win the Oscar. "I don't think [Ben] can be stopped," Casey said. "It's a great movie, he did a great job directing it, and there's a lot of good will for him. I think people like him." We think so, too. The Academy Awards will be held this coming weekend in LA.

I say they will be at least 7 games back. Mark it down. I hope I'm wrong but I'm not. No trades will be made and are offense will continue to be terrible. The bullpen is going backwards. The managing is awful. Dusty has no idea how to put a lineup on a card or manage a pitching staff.
This team needs 2 things to contend next year because watch what I'm telling you this year is over.
1) a new manager
2) someone to hit behind Votto
Move Phillips to leadoff and put Cozart in the 2 hole were he belongs. Votto 3rd and someone behind him to protect him. Get these 2 things and the Reds are a championship team.

Delayed Homicide-Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE (AP) – The Milwaukee County medical examiner's office says a man has died more than 16 years after he was beaten at Summerfest, and ruled his death a homicide. The medical examiner says 49-year-old Joseph Hetzel died Feb. 28 at a rehabilitation center in Fond du Lac. Hetzel's brother, Todd, told an investigator his brother was beaten by about five men in a fight in a parking lot at Milwaukee's Summerfest in 1996. Todd Hetzel said no arrests were ever made. According to his brother, Joseph Hetzel was left paralyzed on one side and had a severe brain injury. The brother says Hetzel suffered another brain injury when he fell down some stairs in Hartford in 2009. The medical examiner ruled Hetzel died of complications of blunt force injuries to his head.

Virgin agreed to sell the engineering department of its Threesixty Aerospace unit to Zodiac Aerospace SA after the U.K. Supreme Court ruled that the French company -- the world's biggest maker of aircraft seats -- isn't liable for 49 million pounds ($75 million) in damages sought by the airline. The disposal is not directly linked to the ruling, Virgin said.
Founded as Reynard Aviation in 1998 to help Virgin compete with new products from British Airways, Threesixty worked with Contour Premium Aircraft Seating to produce the J2000 berth and its successor, the flat-bed Upper Class Suite. A rift developed when Contour, later bought by Zodiac, sought to supply seats of a similar design to carriers including Delta Air Lines Inc.
"The business needs to focus on what it does best, which is designing and delivering products that our passengers love," Virgin said in an e-mailed statement. "It is not a core part of our business to also manufacture those products, and therefore we have taken the decision to transfer the undertakings."
Key Battleground
Zodiac said separately that the purchase, for which it didn't disclose a value, involves activities at Threesixty employing about 20 people. That's after 50 employees at the unit were let go earlier this year, according to Virgin, which said the unit will now lie dormant, though manufacturing, supply and operational rights will be retained.
Premium seats have become a key battleground for carriers seeking a bigger slice of the long-haul corporate travel market, which accounts for the bulk of industry earnings. Lie-flat berths were pioneered by British Airways in first class in 1996 and extended to its business cabins three years later, with full-service rivals including Virgin following suit.
"The seat product is absolutely critical and there are a lot of airlines that really want to differentiate on that product," said John Tighe, Design Director at James Park Associates in London, which has designed berths for carriers including Singapore Airlines Ltd. "The competition has stepped up and the whole market has become far more developed."
'Strong Decisions'
Britain's highest court ruled yesterday that Zodiac Seats U.K. Ltd. of Cwmbran, Wales, isn't liable for damages even after an earlier hearing found in Virgin's favor. That's because the carrier amended the patent on its Upper Class seats following the original decision in the wake of a European Patent Office decree that went against the U.K. judgment.
"Zodiac are entitled to rely on the amendment of Virgin's patent in answer to their claim for damages on the enquiry," Judge Jonathan Sumption said in the written ruling.
The legal wrangle began in 2007 against multiple defendants including Delta, now the leading shareholder in Virgin Atlantic after the purchase of a 49 percent stake for $360 million.
Virgin said in its statement that a turnaround plan aimed at delivering a profit by spring 2015 is the key focus for Chief Executive Officer Craig Kreeger, who took over on Feb. 1, and that the strategy "means making strong decisions."
Still, yesterday's ruling covers just one element of the intellectual property dispute, Virgin spokeswoman Louise Holding said in a separate statement, adding that the carrier invests heavily in innovation to differentiate its product from rivals.
Zodiac Aerospace acquired its U.K. business via last year's purchase of Contour from Premium Aircraft Interiors Group Ltd., owned by a Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc investment vehicle. The company, based in Plaisir, near Paris, employs 30,000 people and has annual sales of 3.4 billion euros ($4.4 billion).

Every week it seems a new entry level smartphone is thrown into the market, with features resembling the big-boys of the smartphone world but scaled back enough to appeal to those who want their handset to behave like a phone, rather than some kind of life-engulfing personal communication centre.
The LG Optimus L3 is the cheapest in LG's range of smartphones.
The phone runs Android Gingerbread (release date: December 2010), but unlike many budget phones LG has no plans to upgrade it to Ice Cream Sandwich.
The L3 also has a three megapixel camera, which performs as well as you'd expect, a 3.2" touch screen and, according to LG, a "timeless, modern look".
Unfortunately, affordability is just about the only thing the Optimus L3 has going for it.
At under £80 (sim free) and with tariffs starting as low as £7.50 a month it is possible that some people who had very limited budgets and extraordinarily low expectations of what they expected from a phone might be tempted to buy it. However, in this reviewer's opinion those people would be pretty foolish to do so.
The Optimus L3's features are so dated that buying a higher end smartphone from two years ago would almost certainly be a more worthwhile investment of your money.
The phone handles appallingly. The touchscreen is miserable to look at and isn't at all responsive. The keyboard is unspeakably unpleasant to use and navigating between apps is slow and frustrating.
All of the buttons feel like they are in entirely the wrong position, requiring awkward arching and bending of fingers to unlock the screen or return to the home menu, or even more ridiculously for a phone of this size - the use of two hands.
But the worst thing about the phone is supposedly its strongest asset; the looks and style.
The only word for the L3 is "disconcerting", which is quite a feat for a mobile phone. All of the features look out of proportion and the hard corners and angular design looks cheap.
Despite being comparatively low-tech, low-end phones are often at least representative of their generation.
This cannot be said of the LG Optimus L3. The phone feels old, straight out of the box, and anyone considering getting it as a pay as you go handset or on a monthly contract should at least look at the Nokia Lumia 710, BlackBerry Curve 8520 or Sony Xperia Mini before committing to anything.
Failing that, walk into any high street phone shop and laugh yourself silly at how many better options there are than this cheap phone which somehow still feels like an enormous waste of money.

I'm new to using ScaLAPACK and am experiencing unexpected hangs when using pdsyrk for matrix multiplication. My application involves variable matrix shapes depending on the user's input data, so I need to have a flexible code. I have developed a working test code that runs fine for square matrices but that sometimes fails for rectangular matrices. The problem is that it never returns from the call to pdsyrk (even after waiting for several minutes for something that should only take a few seconds). Here are some example tests:
Grid | Matrix | pdsyrk returns?
2 x 2 4000 x 4000 yes
2 x 2 1000 x 4000 no
2 x 2 4000 x 1000 yes
1 x 4 1000 x 4000 yes
2 x 4 1000 x 4000 no
4 x 4 1000 x 4000 yes
So short fat matrices fail on a small square processor grid (2 x 2) but work on either larger processor grids or a rectangular grid (1 x 4). Tall skinny matrices work fine. To add to the complications, the above failures only occur on one of my two testing platforms.
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Why are software patents any more absurd then hardware patents, drug patents, DNA related patents, etc?
The only real difference is the cost of implementation and testing, not the relevant intellectual challenge.
Or for that matter, how is it any less absurd then, say, 100+ year copyright on Disney cartoons, laws against witchcraft, laws against sodomy (involving consenting adults), etc, etc, etc.
Every country has lots of absurd laws. You may like some and you may not like some others but lambasting companies for working within the law to maximize their profits (which is their whole goal in life) hardly makes sense.
Because software is written, in a language. It's math. It's already protected by copyright. Why are patents needed? Software patents are not patents on products - they're a patent on an idea, not an implementation.
For the very same reason, you cannot patent the concept or artificial lighting. You can, however, patent a new type of lightbulb that lasts longer and uses less electricity.
Software patents are no different than CNN patenting their report on a news event, and then suing the BBC for patent infringement because they report on the same story. If this sounds ridiculous to you, but you still support software patents, then you're a hypocrite. It's the EXACT same thing.
Anything but hardware patents are absurd.
It's an actual product that exists and can be commercially sold, or be built by an individual.
The rest can be handled with either copyright, or should not be restricted.
Drugs? It's a chemical result, keep the method a trade secret. People die because they can't afford life-saving drugs, these companies rake in massive profits. I don't think they need patents.
DNA? That's a chemical structure that occurs naturally, and could easily occur randomly, and often is randomly created in nature, discovered, then patented. Those patents restrict cancer research. People die. That's evil.

"There are many people in this country, and in this administration, who claim that those who have opposed the invasion of Iraq are unpatriotic (at best) and treasonous (at worst). Indeed, the USA PATRIOT Act, passed unanimously by Congress, stipulates penalties for criticism of the government. Patriotism, to the framers of the act, means supporting the decisions of our political leaders and that dissent is un-American. Protesters at presidential appearances have been routinely herded into "free speech zones" where their signs and slogans are only seen by the encircling cordon of police. This in spite of the fact that there is no mention in the Constitution that free speech is to be confined to a zone. Pretty soon cars will be sporting retro-sixties "America: Love it or Leave it!" bumper stickers. This attitude, however, only calls attention to one of this nation's most conspicuous failings-pervasive historical illiteracy. We need to recognize that dissent is American, that protest is patriotic. It is, in fact, one of the fundamental traits that define us...
The English colonies in North America were founded on dissent, and almost immediately after religious dissenters arrived in Massachusetts Bay voices of protest rose up against the puritan authorities. Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams were banished for their views during the first decade of settlement. Let us also remember the patriots who fought the American Revolution to establish independence from a government that was not responsive to the needs of its colonial subjects, and reflect on the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. None of this was accomplished without a great deal of debate, dissent, protest, argument, resistance. None of it was easy. But somehow we did evolve into a country "of the people, by the people, for the people." Or did we?...
Today the American people are torn by an ill-advised war and occupation led by leaders who, in seeking to stifle the sort of healthy debate a democracy requires, do not seem to understand, indeed, who seem to shun, our own history. Many of those who opposed the war not only wanted to give peace a chance, but also take back the American government which appears to have been hijacked by ultra-rightist hawks. Neoconservatives have taken control of a United States which has historically prided itself in its values of peace, democracy, equality, freedom, and anti-imperialism, and, in the process, they are systematically eroding (if not actually demolishing) those ideals. There is nothing "conservative" about them. And the results of the 2006 mid-term elections seem, at first glance, to indicate that many American conservatives have repudiated the neoconservative ideology.
A democracy depends on an educated, well-informed citizenry. It also depends on educated well-informed leaders who are deeply connected and committed to cherishing, conserving, and nurturing the ideals which we believe set us apart. But those currently in power are not caretakers of the "American Dream." Will they be judged by history, like the despoilers of the pharaohs' tombs, as looters who have drained all meaning from the treasures of American democracy? Has "democracy" indeed become a radical notion?
If we get to the point where not only the international community, but even American citizens view the United States as the major threat to world peace than what hope is there for the world? What hope is there for countries that don't even pretend to love freedom ever to evolve into the kind of society that we espouse? If we don't take back our country the world itself (not just the United States) is doomed. We will look at the rest of the world from our "city upon a hill" and all we'll see is our own haunted reflection staring back at us."

what is it ?
Thank u.
try replacing all of the colons in your code to be \: like the output, this should escape them and display them as you want them.
Let me know what happens
A kram a day keeps the doctor......guessing
It isn't working.
When i give \: the setProperty is \\\:
Itried various combinations.They r worse.
Since you are outputting characters only, I suggest you try writing to the file using a FileWriter instead of a FileOutputStream. This class is desined to handle characters, so should work better.
