Despite everything we've been through, and despite all that has occurred this year, I'm falling for shooter trailers that focus on stories yet again. There were three released early this week for the biggest upcoming shooters that will be released over the next month, and I was a sucker for them all.
The first was for "Call of Duty: Ghosts," and it was as predictably slick as we've come to expect from Activision with that franchise. It even featured a sequence in space, highlighted clearly due to the success of Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity" at the box office this month. But it was neat-looking, of course. The second was for Tuesday's "Battlefield 4," and it featured a soldier punching a dog in the face, an obvious dig at Ghosts' Riley, the dog sidekick in that game. Very savvy, EA.
But I'm still extremely skeptical of those titles, because their last story efforts were not so good. Infinity Ward's "Modern Warfare 3" had a pretty lame campaign, probably the least remarkable in the "Call of Duty" franchise since "World at War" in 2008. And "Battlefield 3," well, that was just all around bad. The "Battlefield" team had never made a story campaign before, though, so I suppose that was to be expected to some extent, even though it was responsible for one of my favorite solo games of this outgoing generation: "Mirror's Edge."
The third trailer was for the top-selling first-party launch game for the new-gen consoles, Sony's PS4-exclusive "Killzone: Shadow Fall." And while "Killzone 3" was technically inept, that is still a franchise that will get my story-obsessed ears to perk up on demand. Of course, "Shadow Fall" looks totally dope on its own, and so that helps.
But the excellent trailer compelled me to review "Killzone" lore for a bit on Tuesday night, and as always that was an enlightening journey. Sci-fi shooters with deep lore aren't particularly unusual ("Halo" and "Mass Effect" have millions of years of backstory, for example) but few have backstory with much of a point aside from spinning a good yarn, and none that I can think of carry "Killzone's" moral relativism.
The "Killzone" games themselves depict a conflict between the people of the planets Vekta and Helghan in Alpha Centauri. Vekta is a nice place, like Earth, and Helghan is dirty and gross, and the atmosphere will kill a normal human after enough years spent on the surface. Vektans are white collar, and the Helghast are blue collar. The war in the games began when the peasants attempted to overthrow their decadent capitalist oppressors, so to speak, and three games later Helghan ended up a lifeless wasteland. (In "Shadow Fall," Helghast refugees live on Vekta 30 years later in a state of cold war.)
That's pretty standard stuff, but the tale of how it got to that point builds in some of the most compelling context in games. The story goes that Earth began colonization efforts after a global nuclear war, and the first stop was Alpha Centauri. Vekta was colonized, and a sort of customs station was put in orbit above Helghan.
Alpha Centauri was then a waypoint for further colonization efforts into other star systems, and all shipping concerns between Earth and the colonies it depended on for resources had to pass through it. The Helghan Corporation ran the system under Earth's rule, and after a few decades they'd become wealthy enough to purchase the system outright, privatizing customs, in a way, at a time when Earth really couldn't say no to the amount of money on offer.
That didn't work out for anybody but Helghan, though, and Earth eventually had to send a fleet to retake the system before Helghan's capitalist endeavors starved the homeworld. Earth won, but a protracted guerrilla campaign on Vekta forced the ISA — the local Earth-sanctioned military — to exile Helghan Corporation's patrons to the planet Helghan, where they toiled in misery and struggled to survive and generally had terrible and short lives. A hundred or so years of that led to the uprising featured in the games.
That, my friends, is what you call a compelling, focused history.

Tomb+RaiderThis Tomb Raider reboot mostly ticks the right boxes. It puts players in the shoes of a much less experienced, much more vulnerable 21-year-old Lara, who's just trying to survive after being shipwrecked on a mysterious set of islands. This origin story will both reveal her strength of character and show her to be a more believable, relatable character than in previous games. So far, so good. A heroine that's flawed and human gels well with what we expect from modern video games.
The obvious comparison is, of course, with Uncharted, and that's not the only cue taken from Naughty Dog's series. The sequences we've seen so far are very directed, with many of the things that made the Uncharted games so special, such as custom animations for one-off situations, like squeezing through a narrow gap. There's no doubt the result is highly cinematic, but it also inevitably raises questions. Will the rest of the game be more open, with multiple paths? How heavily will Tomb Raider lean on quicktime sequences?
Thankfully, Crystal Dynamics has indicated that there will be multiple routes through the world, as well as areas that Lara can return to - and explore again - once she has new abilities/tools. That's certainly the direction we hope the game will be taking, with the existing demo sequences serving as a more focused introduction to the world and character.
Until we've played a decent slice of the game for ourselves, however, we can only take Crystal Dynamic's word for it. The temptation would definitely be there to ape Uncharted, and while that series is hugely successful, the trade-off for its cinematic intensity is certainly freedom. Outside of shoot-outs, the player is entirely led by the nose. While we'd like to see a more realistic, relatable Lara, and an intensely cinematic, polished world, I'm not sure that it would be worth it if the game holds the player's hand too much. Here's hoping it finds the right balance.
Silent+Hill:+DownpourDownpour, the latest Silent Hill game, is being developed outside Japan, by little-known Czech Republic studio Vatra. It's consciously being designed as a return to the roots of the series, which you'd hope means rich atmosphere, sparse weapons and freaky content, but in this case also seems to mean rigorously old school, often clunky design.
Before we get to that, the game definitely has some good hooks. Lead character Murphy Pendleton (who has the fakest sounding name since Reginald Charming) promises to be an interesting protagonist: a convicted criminal, his greatest fear is water, and when the rain starts to come down, sh*t starts to get messed up. It's a neat idea that sits well with Silent Hill's traditional real world/other world dichotomy. The game's not lacking in atmosphere or scares, either, and players will forever be low on ammo, which means making the most of the many items that can be used as weapons in the environment.
So that's the good stuff. What we're worried about, however, is that this game isn't going to bring the series into the modern age. Convoluted puzzles, poor enemy AI and clunky mechanics were fine in the survival horror genre's infancy, but we need more now. Vatra needs to put its own stamp on this series, and that's done by making a game that embraces the spirit of the series, while avoiding its pitfalls and taking it forward. Here's hoping the team can do it.
Brothers+in+Arms:+Furious+4In what can only be described as a bizarre fit for Brothers in Arms, Furious 4 sees Gearbox eschewing the slow-paced tactical gameplay and realism of previous titles in the series, and instead ushering in zany characters and Inglourious Basterds-inspired gung-ho Nazi killing, with four player co-op the gameplay foundation. Players are charged with rampaging across wartorn Europe with the aim of taking down Hitler himself.
Could be fun, right? Well, initial impressions weren't good. This is a game that revels in its bloodletting – chainsaws, hatchets and cattle irons all come into play, as do score multipliers and bonuses – yet it's nominally set in the real world, which makes the entire thing feel a little off-colour and in poor taste.
That said, I haven't played it, nor have I seen it since E3 last year. Could be that Gearbox will shift the focus a little to give it a less repugnant spirit, and it could be that the four player co-op is riotously fun. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Metal+Gear+Rising+RevengeanceThis one has had a chequered past. Development was originally headed up by relatively junior designers at Kojima Productions while Hideo Kojima worked on Peace Walker, but the auteur wasn't happy with what they'd done and effectively cancelled the game. Enter Platinum Games, the studio behind Bayonetta and Vanquish, who picked up the pieces and took over development duties.
The studio's a good fit for the sword-based action of Rising, but the reality is that the team started with a failed project, and were given the task of whipping it into shape, and fast. During a Q&A in December, Hideo Kojima stated that "The game is high speed action, but the development is also high speed development," a sentiment echoed by Platinum's Atsushi Inaba, who said "I'm having a lot of fun, but the scale is really tight, we have to work really fast and Kojima Productions has been demanding a lot of us."
In the same session, Hideo Kojima says that Platinum is realising what his team originally wanted to do, which is all well and good, but what makes Platinum such an exciting studio is that it has its own distinct style and vision. How well will the team on Revengeance be able to marry that original design with their own sensibilities, and get it all done in record quick time? We'll have to wait and see. From an action perspective, the trailer below looks very cool, but this is definitely one title that could go either way.
The+Last+GuardianI want to love this game, I really do. And not just because of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. I want to love it because games like this don't come along very often. Imagine the pitch: "So, players control a feeble young boy, who partners up with an enormous cat-bird creature, who can help him navigate a mysterious, ancient-feeling fantasy world. The closer their bond, the more they can achieve." Can you imagine this getting greenlit outside the crucible of first party innovation within Sony Japan? Me neither.
The footage looked mesmerising too. Just as Ico built an emotional attachment between the player and Yorda through peril and the simple act of holding hands, so too does The Last Guardian promise to create a bond between players and their semi-autonomous companion.
It was all looking good, but clearly there have been major difficulties behind the scenes. Last year – after a lengthy development process – the game was delayed, then it was a no-show at TGS. More worrying, however, were the two departures in December. First, the game's executive producer left Sony, then visionary designer Fumito Ueda left and is now finishing the game on a contract basis. Given what a labour of love previous titles have been for Ueda, and how long it has taken to finish them, this last piece of news is incredibly worrying. Will we get the game he dreamed of making, or will it be compromised?
Do you think these games will turn out to be amazing? And what other titles do you think could go either way this year? Sound off below.

POMONA >> Gogol Bordello, the first Goldenvoice-promoted musical act to perform at the restored Fox Theater back in May 2009, is back for another gypsy punk filled show.
The New York-based band is known for its colorful high-energy live shows. It was a crowd favorite at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio in 2007, 2008 and 2011.
Tickets are still available for tonight's show, which starts at 9 p.m. at the theater, 301 S. Garey Ave.
The group's latest album is "Pura Vida Conspiracy" on the ATO record label, which was released in July. Their last albums were the Rick Rubin-produced "Trans-Continental Hustle" released in April 2010 on American Records.
Their best-known song is probably "Start Wearing Purple," which is off their best-reviewed album, 2005's "Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike."
Lead singer Eugene Hutz said the group's latest album "Pura Vida Conspiracy" was a play on words, with "pura vida" meaning true life and conspiracy detailing how people fail to see what's going well instead of what's going wrong.
"Gogol Bordello's music gives me confidence to say that," Hutz said. "It's music that goes into the depth of now and opens the consciousness to another dimension that's usually hidden from people. This accumulation of playing for thousands of hours in Gogol Bordello has connected me to the energetic self, the true human spirit. When you preserve this feeling and transfer it into real life, it becomes a huge part of you."
Opening for the band is Los Angeles' Mariachi El Bronx, whose last release was 2011's self-titled album.

Fear of Being Committed May Have Caused Connecticut Gunman to Snap
EXCLUSIVE: Fear of Being Committed May Have Caused Connecticut Gunman to Snap
The gunman who slaughtered 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school may have snapped because his mother was planning to commit him to a psychiatric facility, according to a lifelong resident of the area who was familiar with the killer's family and several of the victims' families.
Adam Lanza, 20, targeted Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown after killing his mother early Friday because he believed she loved the school "more than she loved him," said Joshua Flashman, 25, who grew up not far from where the shooting took place. Flashman, a U.S. Marine, is the son of a pastor at an area church where many of the victims' families worship.
"From what I've been told, Adam was aware of her petitioning the court for conservatorship and (her) plans to have him committed," Flashman told foxnews.com. "Adam was apparently very upset about this. He thought she just wanted to send him away. From what I understand, he was really, really angry. I think this could have been it, what set him off."
A senior law enforcement official involved in the investigation confirmed that Lanza's anger at his mother over plans for "his future mental health treatment" is being looked at as a possible motive for the deadly shooting.

A POTENTIAL worsening crisis in Europe is the biggest challenge facing Australia, but it's not as vulnerable as many other countries, a global agency says.
In its latest survey of Australia, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) today said the economy had weathered the global economic crisis well, reflecting sound macroeconomic policies and strong demand from China.
"The outlook is positive, even though there are mainly negative risks stemming from the external environment, to which Australia is however less vulnerable than many other OECD countries," the Paris-based institution said.
The OECD forecasts the economy to grow at three per cent in 2013 after a robust 3.7 per cent expansion in 2012, and a moderate growth of 2.3 per cent in 2011.
Treasurer Wayne Swan said the OECD report was another reminder Australians had a lot to be proud of.
"Once again our economy stands tall amongst its peers, with 21 consecutive years of growth, robust economic fundamentals and a positive outlook in the face of acute global challenges," Mr Swan said.
The OECD said although Australia would be less vulnerable to a potential worsening in Europe's sovereign debt crisis, because of its low exposure to Europe, it did face risks from a substantial weakening of growth in China and other Asian countries.
"A sharper than expected slowdown in this part of the world would reduce exports, the terms of trade and, most likely, the real exchange rate," it said.
"Increased supply of resource production might also place downward pressure on commodity prices."
Even so, the OECD expects the Government's tightening of fiscal policy, as it looks to return to a budget surplus in 2012/13, should dampen demand.
It expects activity to remain tepid in many sectors adjusting to a strong Australian dollar, and the boost in demand provided by the resources investment boom was expected to fade in 2014 because of the fall in commodity prices.

Aaron Cooper, Press Secretary Office of Governor Mary Fallin 405-522-8878
Oklahoma's Gubernatorial Appointment Process Goes Online
OKLAHOMA CITY – November 29, 2012 – Governor Mary Fallin recently launched a new service that allows Oklahomans interested in serving the state to apply online for a gubernatorial appointment. The new online application can be accessed from Governor Fallin's official website, located at http://governor.ok.gov.
"My administration is looking for qualified and dedicated Oklahomans to serve on various agencies, boards and commissions," Fallin said. "It was my desire to have a system that allowed Oklahomans to submit their applications easily online. This new application delivers just that; it allows applicants to navigate through the process with ease and provides my staff with a more efficient way to make appointments. I would encourage all those interested in serving, to visit the Web site and submit their application."
The new online appointment application will assist the Office of the Governor in streamlining the process of managing appointments from initial application to finalization of the appointments.
Previously, the process to manage and maintain gubernatorial appointment applications was tedious and time consuming. Applications were received via email or mail and were then entered manually into a digital repository. Once a position became available, staff searched the repository for applicants who met the specified criteria for the position.
Within the new online application, an instructional guide walks each applicant through the entire gubernatorial appointment application process. After submitting the application, the applicant can then select the boards, commissions, or task forces they are interested in being considered. The new online application automatically inputs all applicant information into a database, which can quickly and easily be filtered and searched by the staff of the Office of the Governor.
For more information or to apply for gubernatorial appointment, visit Gov. Fallin's website at http://governor.ok.gov.

"Looks like a Newark street racer," editor Campy snickered. "Let's do it!" Street racers used for big-buck clandestine shootouts often appear like beaters, which in fact they are, stripped of fat, parasites, and anything else that doesn't appeal directly to the cause. Sometimes, the gig is to look like junk all around, thus making it easier to suck in chumps.
John Morrell's crisp '80 Malibu is neither, but it retains only what the local eighth-mile rules require (current registration, working headlights, wipers, etc.), but a rear seat is optional. To this schedule, Morrell lightened the front of the car with VFN Fiberglass hood and front bumper, and with the all-alloy 427ci LS engine the overall load is 3,108 pounds, right down there at street-fightin' weight, boys, and pretty much the same as stock. But, Morrell shuffled the weight where he needed it.
"I bought the car in South Carolina from two guys who just used it for racing. It didn't even have a headliner. What really sold me were the mint-condition door and side panelsàand the body, which was in very good condition, too. Before we'd hit the Georgia border," John chirped, "we'd (fellow racer Justin Brayman) stripped off the old lettering. The next day the car was at JD's Custom Paint & Body in Port Richey, Florida."
John's RMP Automotive, also in Port Richey, is a general repair shop that also fabricates exhaust systems. In central Florida you'd be hard-pressed to find a good-ol'-boy late-model pick-em up that doesn't have a pair of pipes sticking out the back of it. So the 53-year-old John was on the case with his 'Bu, having already experienced a '68 Chevelle, '67 Nova, and a '69 Camaro RS.
"I always wanted to build this particular car for the simple fact that the G-body Malibu works. The sound body and good interior were the keys to the buy. Just to make it different, I put an LS engine in it," he declared. "I also like the fact that it's a dual-purpose car in that I can drive it or race it. Soon, we'll be working the Zex perimeter plate (150-300hp) and the new NX Safeguard fuel system." The latter assumes the space usually reserved for the battery, which has been banished to the boot, which aids in weight transfer and traction.
At first he ran a 427ci small-block. The LS has the same displacement, but it's lighter and more powerful (652 hp at 6,800 rpm). On nuts, the 'Bu has gone 10.29/137 at Gainesville and 6.30s (100hp shot) on the Sunshine Drag Strip (Clearwater) eighth-mile. John contracted LS specialists Texas Speed & Performance in Wollforth (a 'burb of Lubbock) to build the motor while he cranked on the chassis and set up the rest of the car. It already had a legal 10-point cage from its former life. John: "The car is pretty basic, mostly bolt-on parts. When I switched to coilovers in the rear, I had to weld in a crossmember for the upper attachment point as well as relocate the shock mounts on the 12-bolt axle."
He rebuilt the front end with stock components, adding Moroso springs and 90/10 shocks to get the front of the car to work in concert with the tire-bite as quickly as possible. The former owners had posted South Side Machine lift bars and adjustable upper links, and John added an Edelbrock adjustable antisway bar and Chassis Engineering adjustable coilovers. Bite is tight; wheelstands are routine. For reliability, John filled the coconut with 4.56:1 gears on a Chassis Engineering spool torturing Moser 33-spline axles, capping it all with an LPN support/cover.
The rules of a winning racecar are consistency and repeatability, something that comes fairly easy with the right tune-up for the situation... and an automatic transmission. To that end, the ATI Turbo 350 was fitted with a trans-brake and a 3,800-stall speed converter. John changes up with a B&M Pro Ratchet shifter. To complement the system, Precision Shaft Technologies in Clearwater constructed an aluminum propeller fitted with Spicer ends. To add strength to the whole and keep torsional stress to a minimum, John bolted in a hefty G-Force crossmember with a dropped center for the transmission mount and arches for the exhaust system pass-through.
Meanwhile, Texas Speed was plastered to the 427 (4.127 x 4.00) project. They based the assembly on a Callies Comp Star crankshaft matched with Comp Star 6.125-inch-long connecting rods. Time was taken to fit the Wiseco forgings (hi-temp coated skirts, offset wrist pins, flat deck with deep valve notches) to the combustion chambers of the CNC-ported LS7 cylinder heads and produce a pump-gas-amenable 11.0:1 compression ratio (93 octane). Further, the seats were finished with multi-angle competition Precision Race Components hollow-stem stainless valves, PRC springs, guides, retainers, and locks. The wet-sump oiling system includes an F-body sump and blueprinted pump. Wiseco forgings are favorites of juice and forced-air addicts and the ones in John's engine are surrounded by companion Wiseco GFX ring packs.
Comp Cams ground John a special one featuring 240 degrees of duration at 0.050-inch, 0.609/0.615-inch lift, and lobe separation angle of 110 degrees. Harland Sharp pedestal rockers (exhausts offset) yield a ratio of 1.8:1, and the Comp solid rollers hump Texas Speed chrome-moly pushrods. TS put cam to block with an LS2 double-roller timing chain and gears and covered the internals with a Wegner Motorsports conversion for carbureted applications, including and MSD controller and moving the distributor and coil to the front of the engine.
With its combustion chamber design, optimized ports, and a 12-degree valve angle, this engine doesn't need a mountain of ignition timing. Sans nitrous, John's maintains 28 degrees total. Induction includes a Holley 1,000-cfm HP carburetor with a K&N hat atop a spidery GM Performance Parts intake manifold. Fuel is sourced from a fuel tank sump and Mallory Comp 340 pump. The residuals resultant come out of Hedman headers 1-7/8-inch primaries into a 3-inch system, zigzags through an X-pipe, and on to ancient, stubby two-chamber Flowmasters.
Race rubber is in constant attendance: 28.0x7.50 Mickey fronts roll on 15x4 Hole Shot (Bunnell, Florida) Hole Star three-piece lightweights followed by either 295/65 M/T Drag Radials or 29.0x10.0 Goodyear slicks on 8-inch-wide Hole Stars. Local rules require a parachute used in league with Aerospace Components 11.75-inch-diameter discs and four-piston calipers. The stock, although rebuilt, 12-bolt drums are there for the ride. John added a bit of contrast to that '86-89 Chrysler Silver by having the wheel centers powdercoated black.
In the office, things are tidy and clean, black and gray. Once past the rollcage stringers, the Kirkey race seats stand prominent. John covered the sun-mauled, severely cracked dash pad with a slick inexpensive cap from National Parts Depot. To modernize, he and Brayman installed a Classic Dash panel assembly fitted with Auto Meter Ultra Lite gauges of various denominations. John swears by the shift light and admits to rarely consulting the tachùracer's intuition, an educated butt, and a big ol' wink light get him through. Steering wheel is a Grant GT.
"John's motor barks loud," said Campy. "I especially like the big cowl hood behind the factory stand-up hood ornament. You sure this car isn't a ringer from I-78 Dragway outside Newark Airport?"

Retired catcher Mike Piazza has some harsh words for Los Angeles and its biggest icon in broadcasting, Vin Scully.
In 'Long Shot,' a memoir co-written by Lonnie Wheeler, Piazza recalled doing an interview with Scully in spring training in 1998 regarding his expiring contract with the Dodgers. Piazza wrote that he and his agent, Danny Lozano, had set a deadline of Feb. 18, 1998, for resigning or filing for free agency after the season.
'I sat down with Vin Scully for a television interview,' Piazza wrote, 'and his first question was on the order of 'What's this deadline thing?' I was like 'Uh, well, Vin, we just wanted to kinda make sure we were focused on baseball.' He wasn't happy about it. And Scully's voice carried a great deal of authority in Los Angeles.'
Later, Piazza writes,'the way the whole contract drama looked to (Dodger fans) - many of whom were taking their cue from Scully - was that, by setting a deadline and insisting on so much money, I was demonstrating a conspicuous lack of loyalty to the ballclub.'
Piazza, a native of Phoenixville, Pa., wasn't done taking shots at Scully.
'The fans of Los Angeles were beating me up on a daily basis,' he writes, recalling the start of the 1998 season. 'That wasn't characteristic of them, but my spiel in St. Louis hadn't gone over well with the 9-to-5 shift. On top of that, Vin Scully was crushing me. We'd lost our first four games and by the time we got to Dodger Stadium for the home opener I still hadn't driven in a run.'

New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks went down hard on his left knee following a long reception in Week 2 and never was the same. You can say the same about the Giants' offense.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine that Nicks has undergone arthroscopic surgery on the knee.
Nicks battled the two injuries all season long. He missed three games and finished with 53 receptions for 692 yards and three touchdowns. According to The Star-Ledger, Nicks believed he hurt the knee in part because he was compensating to protect the right foot he fractured in May.
Center David Baas also underwent surgery. Coughlin wouldn't go into specifics -- he only offered that work was done "on his body" -- but The Star-Ledger reported Baas had "multiple procedures." Baas was a mainstay on the injury report, playing through issues with his hand, elbow, ankle, hip and shoulder.
It's a testament to Baas' toughness that he started all 16 games. As for Nicks, his absence proved just how important he is in dictating the balance and flow of the Giants' passing offense.
If all goes to plan, a healthy Nicks and a well-paid Victor Cruz will drive the Giants' passing attack in 2013.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), incoming Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, today met with former Senator Chuck Hagel, President Obama's nominee to be the next Secretary of Defense. Following the meeting, Inhofe released the following statement:
"Chuck Hagel is a good person, and it was a pleasure to serve with him in the United States Senate. I am so very appreciative of the sacrifices he and his brother made to serve this country during the Vietnam War. We had a very cordial meeting today in which we discussed his nomination.
"Unfortunately, as I told him during our meeting today, we are simply too philosophically opposed on the issues for me to support his nomination.
"One of my biggest concerns is avoiding Obama's sequestration that, as Secretary Panetta has said, would be devastating to our military. However, Senator Hagel's comments have not demonstrated that same level of concern about the pending defense cuts.
"Senator Hagel has also been an outspoken supporter of nuclear disarmament and the Global Zero Movement. At a time when North Korea is threatening our allies with their nuclear capabilities and Iran continues to pursue a nuclear weapon and the means to deliver it, the security of our own nation and that of our allies requires us to be vigilant with our own nuclear weapons and defense systems. This administration has already put us in a more vulnerable position by drastically cutting our nuclear defense budget and eliminating our Third Site missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic.
"On Iran and Israel, Senator Hagel's record concerns me as well. In 2000, he was one of just four senators who refused to sign a letter affirming U.S. solidarity with Israel. In 2001 he was one of just two Senators who voted against extending the sanctions against Iran. A year later, he urged the Bush administration to support Iranian membership in the World Trade Organization. Given the current tension in the Middle East that is largely being instigated by the Iranian regime, I am concerned with Senator Hagel's views.
"Although we are opposed on issues, we are still friends. This is one of those rare times when policy differences don't stand in the way of personal relationships."

Taking your Bluetooth handset for a walk or a run seems like a natural choice. Fortunately, Jabra thinks so too, and the company's Sport headset is designed to make outdoor activity even more enjoyable. It streams stereo audio wirelessly and lets you take important phone calls, while shrugging off spills, dust, and drops. Find out if the Sport has the right stuff to become your next workout buddy.
Like other Jabra Bluetooth headsets such as the Jabra Supreme and the Plantronics Voyager Pro UC, the Jabra Sport uses a behind-the-ear battery pack design. While it lacks the long microphone boom arm found on both products and therefore isn't as bulky, I wouldn't call the Sport small. Weighing just 0.81 ounce, the Jabra Sport headset certainly is light.
The device relies on large earbud-style audio drivers that are covered with replaceable rubber tips. Though the earbuds are meant to rest just outside the ear canal, I personally found them too large for my small ears no matter which of the three types of bundled rubber tips I tried. Also, perhaps it's the Jabra Sport's rubberized outer surface or merely the earloops' tight fit, but I consistently had difficulty placing the headset correctly on my ears. The problem got worse when I wore eyeglasses or a thicker pair of Ray-Ban shades, so I guess midday runs along the beach could be an issue.
Don't worry, though, if you ever drop the Jabra Sport into the surf. This hardy headset boasts IP54 rugged certification, an international standard that says that a product can survive exposure to splashes of water (5 minutes or 10 liters per minute) plus all but the most extreme levels of blowing dust particles. IP54 (ingress protection rating) also indicates the headset can handle occasional drops, too. I verified these claims by running the Sport a few times through an open kitchen faucet with no apparent effects.
Though it's a wireless Bluetooth device, the earpieces are linked together by a yellow cable. It's a tad short in my view, or perhaps I just have a thick neck. In any case, when I wore it the cord often snagged and pulled one of the Sport's earbuds askew. The cable is wide and flat, though, so cord tangles are less likely than with thin, round wires.
Controls on the Jabra Sport are minimal, with just three buttons on the right earpiece. Here, too, is a tiny circular Play/Pause key that also serves as an on/off switch. Running along the right earloop is a thin volume bar with an FM radio button below it. A flap covering the Sport's Micro-USB port is located on the earpiece's inner edge.
If you're looking for native voice command features or slick automatic sensors here, you'll be disappointed. The Jabra Sport does announce "Power on" when you press the on button. It will also inform you that it has achieved a Bluetooth connection. I paired the Sport easily with my Samsung Galaxy Note test phone, which runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Selecting the headset within the phone's settings menu and linking to it was a snap, no passcodes required.

Fargo Boss Breaks Down That (Very Familiar) Money Shot

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost Ben Roethlisberger at a most unfortunate time in their schedule. The starting quarterback missed Sunday night's 13-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and remains a huge question mark to play when the teams meet again two weeks from now.
A four-part series on player health and safety with reporter Andrea Kremer aired Tuesday through Friday on NFL Network:
Tuesday: Football's safety issues
Wednesday: Virginia Tech's helmet technology, The "Hit System"
Thursday: Inside Darrelle Revis' rehab
Friday: The lack of common safety standards in youth football
» For more information on player health and safety, visit NFLEvolution.com.
Roethlisberger is one of the game's grittiest performers, often playing through pain, but the shoulder and first rib injuries he suffered against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10 are a different beast.
SI's Peter King wrote Monday that "anyone forecasting a week for him to return is guessing." Dr. Clark Fuller, the director of Thoracic Surgery at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., told King that a premature return would put Big Ben at risk of nerve damage along with previously reported threats to the aorta.
"This is not about being a tough guy," said Fuller, who added that a quarterback's typical throwing motion might prevent a rib injury from healing. "Playing football with a dislocated first rib would put you at severe risk. There are many things to be concerned about, including destroying the nerves in the arm."
Fuller hasn't inspected Roethlisberger's injury but estimated the quarterback would miss a minimum of four weeks and hoped the Steelers wouldn't push him back too soon -- Ravens or not.
"I do remember their coach, Mike Tomlin, not allowing that safety (Ryan Clark) to play in altitude in Denver because of his sickle-cell disease," Fuller said. "That is a good sign, to me. I believe he won't risk the health of Roethlisberger."

A product of Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club, David Norman jr. joined Whitecaps FC Residency in September 2011 after recent training spells with professional clubs in Europe.
Between the ages of nine and 12, Norman was a member of Whitecaps FC Prospects, where he trained under Residency staff coach Bart Choufour. With 'Caps Prospects, Norman made the final of the prestigious Surf Cup youth tournament in San Diego, California.
2011-12: In the summer of 2011, Norman trained with the academy set-up of German Bundesliga club 1. FSV Mainz 05.
2013: Norman was called up as part of a 30-player group assembled for a three-day prospects evaluation for the U-15 Canadian men's national team. The camp was held from June 4 through June 6 in Montreal, Quebec. He was also named to Canada's Men's U-15 20-man roster for the 2013 Copa Mexico de Naciones which took place in Mexico City from August 10 to 18.
Norman started his soccer career with Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club at the age of four. From the club's initiation academy to gold level, Metro level, and the United Soccer Leagues Super Y-League, the midfielder has represented his hometown club with distinction. He twice represented Western Canada at the Danone Nations Cup and captained Canada's Danone Nations Cup team at the 2010 event in South Africa.
A native of Coquitlam, BC, Norman attended Riverview Park Elementary School in his hometown before progressing to Coquitlam's Hillcrest Middle School. He currently attends Dr. Charles Best Secondary School in the tenth grade. The midfielder is the son of former Whitecaps FC and Canada midfielder David Norman Sr. His father played for the Blue and White during the North American Soccer League years of 1981 to 1984. He also played for the current club - when it was known then as Vancouver 86ers - from 1991 to 1996. This included a Canadian Soccer League championship title in 1991 and four seasons with the club in the old American Professional Soccer League (1993 to 1996). Norman sr. made a total of 171 appearances for Vancouver, scoring 16 goals. Norman's father also scored once in 51 international appearances for the Canadian national team. This included appearances at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. Norman holds citizenship in both Canada and the United Kingdom.
The midfielder is a big fan of Scottish giants Rangers FC, while his favourite player is Manchester United's Serbian centre back Nemanja Vidic. Norman selected his favourite team's home field of Ibrox Stadium as a stadium he would like to play in one day. Outside of soccer, Norman enjoys hanging out with friends and family, while also playing a ton of other sports, and the video game FIFA. The midfielder's favourite meal is steak.

Hi, I've read a few of your articles (pixel shading, youtube video unavailability and sound replacement to name a few) and not only do I think you are an expert, but also more of a surgeon than a doctor!
I admit that I got scared when I read your mod conversion from AE back to vanilla (those tributaries especially) so I was wondering if it is possible for you to convert this:
For me to IV. I would be most grateful if you could lend a hand thank you so much!

The complaint that I most often have about the Church is that it takes scripture so lightly. We often pick and choose what we want to hear, even from the New Testament. (For example, we are famous for ignoring Philippians 2:14, �do all things without complaining and disputing.) We allow greeting cards to teach us that there are three wise men when it is hard to find in the text. We allow news networks to teach us when the Holy Spirit should be our teacher. We allow society to form our conscience when it is not their place to do so.
The Gospel of John tells us that the Holy Spirit will teach us. Jesus said in John 14: 26 that �he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.�
He will say it again in John 16:13, �he will guide you into all truth.� He is the teacher and we are the pupil. He may even teach when we are not aware that we need to be taught.
That is exactly what happened in the Book of Acts. In Acts chapter 9 we have Paul headed to Damascus to arrest any that belonged to the Way. (They will later be called Christians.) Paul is not aware that he needs to be taught. He is not expecting what happened. Jesus teaches him anyway. He knocks him off of his horse, blinds him and sends him in the right direction.
It will happen again. In Acts 16 we find Paul trying to proceed in his missionary work. They tried to proceed west and verse 6 tells us that they were �forbidden of the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.� You have to wonder how the Holy Spirit did that. Whatever He did, Paul and his companions got the message. They are also convinced not to go north through Mysia. They are led south where the Philippian jailer will be converted and a newcomer by the name of Luke will join the party. You see, they did not know they needed direction, but God in His wisdom thought they did.
In the Book of Acts, I see people walking humbly as the Holy Spirit proceeded to teach them and God continued to lead them. Today I see us arrogantly proclaiming what we are to do for Jesus. I am often told that we are to love everybody!
No, we are not. We cannot. We do not have the power. There are unlovable people in this world if you have not noticed. We even have trouble loving the lovable ones. Scripture is clear: �Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added to you.� We seek Him and He gives us the power to love even the unlovable. He will show us how to love in the best way.
Trying to do that which is beyond our ability will lead to frustration and guilt. Seeking Him first is not an option we can ignore.
Another example is evangelism. Evangelism is not a human endeavor. We cannot change a person or give them a love for Jesus or grant them eternal life. To show the love of Jesus to someone else will take the power of God. We learn how and when to do this by sitting at His feet and �seeking His face� to use the terminology of Psalm 27.
Even more pertinent is the issue of influence. It amazes me how much we can allow a news network or a political party to formulate our theology. To blindly follow public opinion may be to invite disaster. We should spend time seeking Him and the movement of His Spirit and then evaluating networks and political parties. His guidance should always be above that of political party or any news network.
There is a difference in the one who seeks a passage of scripture to back up his philosophy, and one who humbly sits at His feet waiting for His direction and power. It�s all about recognizing � who is the boss.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science was founded in 1909 – meaning that the curators of the Houston Museum of Natural Science have been collecting and preserving natural and cultural treasures for a hundred years now. For this yearlong series, our current curators have chosen one hundred exceptional objects from the Museum's immense storehouse of specimens and artifacts—one for each year of our history. Check back here frequently to learn more about this diverse selection of behind-the-scenes curiosities—we will post the image and description of a new object every few days.
This description is from Nancy, the museum's director of the Cockrell Butterfly Center and curator of entomology. She's chosen a selection of objects that represent the rarest and most interesting insects in the Museum's collections, that we'll be sharing here – and on hmns.org – throughout the year.
The name says it all: the Titans were a race of giants in Greek mythology, while giganteus is Latin for giant. This monster from the rainforests of the Amazon basin in South America is the largest beetle in the world, at least in terms of overall size (the African Goliath beetle, a scarab, is heavier). The giant longhorn is a member of the Cerambycidae or long-horned beetle family, which includes over 20,000 species worldwide. The family's common name describes the very long antennae characteristic of most cerambycids – in some species over twice as long as the body. Male cerambycids typically have longer antennae than females of the same species. Shown here are a male (wings spread, longer antennae relative to body size) and female (larger, with somewhat shorter antennae).
Learn more about beetles and their relatives in a visit to the Brown Hall of Entomology, a part of the Cockrell Butterfly Center – a living, walk-through rainforest at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
You can see more images of this fascinating artifact – as well as the others we've posted so far this year – in the photo gallery on hmns.org.

Meat Pride Revisited: NY Press' Flesh Mob
The New York Press cover story is an outdated one. A love-lorn, former vegetarian, author Linnea Covington laments about her "meat-loving tendencies go[ing] dormant while in the throes of a romance with a veg-head". In her attempts to analyze and validate her own taste for animal products by virtue of the "happy meat" trend (humane, free-range, etc), she fails to logically articulate any justification aside from bacon tastes good and, (as one of her subjects attests) "If I wanted to eat bacon, I would eat bacon". As every parent of a teenager knows, there's no arguing with flawless reason like that.
Most glaring is Covington's personal disdain for vegetarians. She reduces Jonathan Safron Foer's thorough and 300-page work, "Eating Animals", to "eating meat is bad...toting his dogma...whining about Bourdain." I wonder If she's even read the book, as she later refers to animal advocates as "fundamentalist animal lovers" who are "preaching the benefits of this diet". Her most extensive example of a vegetarian is Sylvester Graham who "took these theories to a religious level". The point that Covington tries to make is that veganism and vegetarianism are like annoying religions beliefs based on personal choice, whose proselytizing followers are falling out of style. As another of her interviewees says, "Everyone who was eating tofu in 1992 is eating lamb now."
But unlike faith or a personal belief, (or the reality that vegetarianism and veganism in the US are rapidly growing from 0.3% - 1% of the total population in 1994 to at least 3% in 2009 [6-8 million adults]) there is the huge inconvenience that animals have their own desires outside of what we choose to believe about them. One thing we know for sure is that in almost every single case, an animal will not willingly subject him or herself to the customs of the slaughterhouse. They want to live and they want to avoid suffering, and this is demonstrated in their own behavior, not in a person's belief. If animal advocacy were a religion based in personal belief and blind faith, as opposed to a very real social justice, scientific, and advocacy movement, it would conveniently suit Covington's argument.
Another flagrancy is Covington's avoidance of the unmatched environmental benefits of limiting one's meat intake. "Humane" or not, livestock are contributing the single greatest source of greenhouse gases in the world! But in the realm of short-term self-gratification, this does not factor in.
The vegetarian-cum-butchers who Covington interviews wear the "former vegetarian" label like a boy-scout patch: Oh you're still a vegetarian? Been there, done that. The Meat-Hook, a trendy Williamsburg butcher shop that opened in late October of 2009, is owned by the former "indy-rock loving vegetarian" Tom Mylan, who is depicted in the article resting his hands on a pig's head as he demonstrates the proper way to butcher a pig. Covington finds validation among these former-vegetarians who are OK with eating and butchering "happy" animals so long as they know what happened to the animal. But does "being OK with what happened to your meat" as The Shameless Carnivore author, Scott Gold says, justify it? Can you imagine a rapist standing over his victim and proclaiming, "You had a very happy life up until this point, and I want to let you know that I am totally at peace with what I am about to do to you." It's preposterous. The same can be said in any case of exploitation, because clarity is simply that. It does nothing for the victim.
Like a support group, the surge of meat-pride in a culture that is already overwhelmingly meat-centric is bizarre to say the least. What articles like this, and publications dedicated entirely to "meat-culture" reveals is that some meat-eaters who have learned more about meat production than the mainstream are searching for everything from a rationalization that suits their palate to a defiant stance against a percieved religious crusade. This Flesh Mob provides, as Covington says, seemingly "...guiltfree grub, and there's no shortage of eaters buying into it." That's for sure. But if the "Humane" myth proves to be just that, and you're still sick of the "outdated dogma" why not just get cheap Chinese takeout and screw it all? That is, as long as you're OK with that.

Catherine Tidd was 31 when she lost her Air Force officer husband in a motorcycle accident. Their kids were 5, 3 and 18 months.
The moment she heard, "He's not going to make it," changed her life forever. Of course it did.
"But the change into the person I became didn't happen in that moment," she writes in her new book, "Confessions of a Mediocre Widow" (Sourcebooks). "It didn't happen as I was riding in the passenger seat of my mother's minivan on the way home from the hospital. And it didn't happen at the funeral."
The gigantic, terrifying changes — forever a widow, suddenly a single mom — happened immediately. But equally gigantic changes took a more gradual pace.
Her transformation, for example, into a person who can go off script — whose "script" was, in essence, torn into bits and stomped all over — and still find moments of joy. Her tossing aside of pretense, and her open-armed embrace of candor.
"Not one of us is living the life we expected to when we were young," Tidd told me during a recent interview. "Once you realize that, I think the question becomes what you do with that and how you choose to grow from it."
Bradley, Tidd's husband, died in 2007. (He was 34.) She spent the initial months in stunned disbelief. She struggled to find her footing, even as she worried she wasn't acting "widow enough." Did she look sufficiently grief-stricken? Did she donate his clothes too soon? Were pedicures the best use of her time and money? Should she send out Christmas cards?
"I wish someone had told me from the beginning there's no right way to do this," she said. "The five stages of grief don't happen in order, and they happen over and over again. But you feel like you're being judged on how you're coping and what you're doing, and you constantly think you're failing."
Which is partly why she wrote the book.
"I wanted to be as raw and honest as I could," she said. "I wanted people to read it and say, 'Yes, that's me! I'm not crazy! I'm not alone!'"
She wrote it for anyone who has grieved the loss of a cherished soul, and for anyone who has borne witness to a loved one's grief.
"I also wanted to bring awareness to what the people who are trying to support us go through," she said. "Sometimes we can't see past our own grief to the intentions of others, and we don't always let others know what we're feeling. When my dad read the book for the first time, he said, 'I had no idea what you were going through.' And I talk to him every day. He just didn't know the depths."
There's a world of beauty packed inside Tidd's book.
Her humor: "I spent my 11th wedding anniversary planning my husband's funeral. If I could figure out how to make that rhyme, it would be the beginning of a great country song."
Her honesty: That funeral veered spectacularly off course and ended with her doubled over in laughter at "the Pennsylvania preacher who missed his chance on 'American Idol.'"
Her wisdom: "It takes a lot more time and effort to deny yourself the grief you feel than it does to work to accept the life — including the grief — that is now yours."
Her mettle: She pours the past seven years onto pages for all of us to read and learn from, particularly her "Tips for widow(er)s and those who support them." Her take-down of the empty platitudes we mutter to people who are suffering ("He's in a better place." "Everything happens for a reason.") should be required reading for all humankind.
Through it all, she gently reminds us that our lives will take us places we never meant to go and feel unprepared for. She keeps a card on display that reads, "A truly happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour."
"Since I don't know of a bigger detour in life than widowhood," she writes, "I'm doing my best to enjoy the scenery along the way to wherever it is that I'm going."
We'd all do well to follow her lead.

High-quality early care and education (ECE) provides a critical foundation for young children's success in school and in life. Yet, in the United States, fewer than two out of three preschool-age children are enrolled in center-based ECE programs. This brief highlights promising practices used in many European countries to ensure all children have access to ECE—practices which can inform similar efforts in the U.S.

Marshall School Real Estate
Marshall School is one of the many historic neighborhoods that keep one foot planted firmly in the past. The intimate neighborhood is one of several vibrant niches collocated in the midtown area – all urban and uniquely alive, yet pleasant with plush trees canopying over charming, older, Victorian-esque homes. This little niche, however, lays claim to the Old Marshall School, built in 1903, helping establish the city's public grade schools in the capitol's earliest years.
Marshall School began as a two-room wooden schoolhouse in 1882. It was rebuilt in 1903 and designed by Rudolph Harold, a locally prominent architect who also designed city hall. It was used as a grade school until 1976. Still in use for educational entities, it is the neighborhood's defining cornerstone surrounded by ornate craftsman homes, lofts, and bungalows.
Today the area is a bustling borough of empty nesters, hipsters, affluent professionals, artists, and families thriving off the many cultural and recreational offerings midtown is known for. Whether its theatres, pubs, parks, music, or shopping, residents find little reason to wander from their own little private city.
Despite the urban feel, Marshall School has a decidedly local flavor. The Marshall School/New Era Park Neighborhood Association oversees the area and promotes vitality and community. Popular activities include yoga at Marshall Park every Sunday morning and the midtown farmers market is held just a few blocks away at 20th and J, every Saturday morning.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson branded Luis Suarez a "disgrace to Liverpool Football Club" and claimed he should never play for them again following his refusal to to shake Patrice Evra's hand ahead of today's Barclays Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils captain offered his hand to the Uruguay international, who was banned for eight matches for racially abusing the defender, but he bypassed the Frenchman and went straight to goalkeeper David de Gea. Evra did not accept that and attempted to grab Suarez's arm to complete the formalities, but the striker shrugged him off.
On Suarez's refusal to shake Evra's hand, Ferguson said: "I could not believe it, I just could not believe it. He's a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club, that certain player should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again."
