(PRWEB) November 04, tv channels. In the next few years, this construction to make a splash on a couple of systems immediately is poised to explode. the motive force is customary market demand. a million new screens are coming into the sector daily–how can the trade fill them with content worth viewing?
If trade avid gamers rely on traditional manufacturing strategies, the top outcome can be excellent content subject material that is too costly for the media. And within the adventure that they decrease prices in standard waysskimping on writing, directing and performing ability, minimal manufacturing budgets, and reducing put up-manufacturing enhancements-they are going to produce movies of such bad top of the range that no one will want to look at them.
then again theres otherwise in advance. a host of disparate new capabilities are rising that, taken together, are disrupting the leisure industry. The capabilities embody everything from financing, story construction, new subsidy incentives for movie manufacturing, distribution packages, platform interested in strategies (in conjunction with standard stores similar to theaters and emerging ones like mobile phone networks) and new global audience segments. within of each portion of content production are big worth saving economies, production enhancements, and earnings broadening methods. as an example, a film cash motion from all structures and distribution channels that can doubtlessly cases the gross profits of standard productions.
whereas there are a variety of corporations which may also be using a couple of of the brand new wave capabilities, the executive of the motion, the Ford movie group, is working virtually all of them and refining one of the most vital components. the company has examined and labored out each of the tactics on its movies and built-in the efficiencies all over all elements of production. the corporate in the intervening time has seven films in a great deal of tiers of manufacturing. the brand new wave capabilities embody each film launching with completely completely different groups of world companions; the place each and every film is backed by way of a state or a sovereign u . s . a .; where means casting is carried out with avid avid gamers aware of the Ford film group route of; the situation distribution world is structured and pre-sold through its in-house distribution firm, and the position the purpose international locations, languages, and structures for each and every film are planed and marketed lengthy faster than the primary identify for "movement" is ever heard. an extraordinarily very important part of the new capabilities model is one of the simplest ways the flicks are financed, in addition to the relationships created with buyers. fairly than financing specific individual productions or groups of motion pictures film workforce price range movie slates where the primary films are returning capital to financing companions whereas the steadiness of the slate is in quite a lot of states of production and distribution. every movie is pre-offered and structured to retire all manufacturing prices in its initial liberate be that tv, DVD, Digital, and many others. Subsequent platform distributions build revenue and reach advertising and advertising and marketing push from social media, and phrase-of-mouth hype. the final phrase, worldwide distribution functionality the company will soon appoint, will be the "in some unspecified time in the future" all platform unencumber of theatrical, DVD, television, pay for view, and phone/ tablet content — all releasing on the identical day. whereas single day theatrical unencumber has been finished internationally and "at some point" theatrical, pay-for-view, and film crew "sooner or later", multi-platform distribution can produce incomparable profitability and with reference to eliminates "piracy" of the film. The companys technique is to fill as many blank screens as possible with quality content material. the corporate already has motion, documentary, and animation films underway. in the very close to future Ford movie personnel will produce slates of content subject material that goal particular audience hobbies similar to sports activities, youngsters topic matters, Sci-Fi, and fable. forte focused on also allows the corporate to acquire digital hardware, instrument and ability capabilities immediately related to each and every particular movie style.
big conventional enjoyment business and the rumors that Amazon.con may additionally enter the market.

Hey, Toronto Maple Leafs…is there anyone among you who thinks this nightly garbage you keep turning out qualifies as entertainment? Or effort? Or professionalism? Or desire? Or heart? Or is even remotely acceptable? I hope not. Can someone explain to me why people, who consider themselves knowledgeable fans, think players like Phil Kessel are playing up to their potential? Or why people defend Jonas Gustavsson as he's demoted to the Marlies for his horsebleep play? Anyone? Any ideas?
On Saturday night in Buffalo, despite having won two in a row and coming off a much-celebrated shutout by rookie netminder James Reimer, the Leafs pulled another stink-job out of their hockey bag at HSBC Arena. Other than a gawd-awful game in Philadelphia and that pile of slobber in Madison Square Garden in late January, the game in Buffalo may have been Toronto's most pitiful game of the season.
I have never coached in the National Hockey League, nor have I played the game professionally, but if I was a member of the Leafs, my level of embarrassment would be off the charts. How do players look at themselves in the mirror after turning out an effort like this? It's beyond my comprehension.
As a live sports television producer, I had some bad nights. I was slow to react. I took a split-second too long to make a key decision. Sometimes I didn't think quite far enough ahead. It made me furious. It was demeaning and it always made me vow to not make the same mistake(s) again. Would those same concepts not apply to the Toronto Maple Leafs?
You know you are about to face Ryan Miller, someone whom you've traditionally had a very tough time beating. Do you not turn it up a notch and come out with the desire of Secretariat? I'm beginning to think the Leafs don't even have that level in their repertoire.
In the Hockey Night in Canada booth, in the middle of the third period, Bob Cole and Garry Galley began chuckling at the pathetic effort by the Leafs. Who can blame them? Although, by some, HNIC will be criticized for not revering the great blue and white and the men who walk on water. Mats Sundin and Darcy Tucker know all about that non-deserved worship.
The Leafs did nothing to be proud of in Buffalo on Saturday night. Not a single Leafs' player stood out has having a notable game. And, of course, Phil Kessel sported his usual frustration as, each shift, he seems to learn anew that he's not an elite-level NHL player.
None of the Leafs were on Saturday night.

After reading previous reviews, we were aware of some of the "problems" but were pleasantly surprised to find that we had absolutely no problems during our stay. We enjoyed eating at the pool...

"4. Used quote symbols in 2009 in a debatable manner Chandler wasn't aware is valid."
Although isobars still leaves himself some wiggle room in the above statement, this is the first time that he has admitted that his comments at the time could be tallied in the "substantive errors" column. That's a big move for him to actually come clean. As far of the validity of his original quote, I gave him a solid opening at the time to instead offer his interpretive opinion of what occurred in Senator Hillary Clinton's questioning of General Petraeus in a Senate hearing. She certainly didn't call Petraeus a "liar" as isobars quoted her as saying.
About the 9 "mistruths and inanities" that isobars listed concerning rigitrite, no worries really. I think that they all reflect isobars' view and opinion about what was said. I certainly don't consider rigitrite's comments to be mistruths or inanities. Moreover, I serious doubt that others here would disagree, even considering those on the right here.

Yes, I too was wondering about number 10 .... especially the validity of the popular perception that todays boards are so superior to the boards of yesteryear.
It naturally follows from that 'fact' that windsurfing must now be far more satisfying than previously.
Isn't that conclusion 'begging the question?' (Number 4.)

The only suitable picture is Mo's of the head placed where the sun won't shine and facts won't get in. Mike Fick deigns to sort of read what I posted, and then gets it pretty much wrong. I'm not angry about this; I think the obfuscation of the righties when they are caught in a misstatement or insensitivity is hysterical. So here's what the Fickster claimed:
In fact, mac's extended Singer quotes support my CO2/warming claims, that as CO2 rises, its effects on temperature plateau. Odd, too, that after claiming repeatedly that Singer destroyed his own credibility, mac now quotes him as an AGW reference.
What I have said is that Mike Fick's mischaracterization of the conclusions of Singer, and Bjorn Lomborg destroys
credibility. On the latter, Iso partially quoted (and may have even read some of) Lomborg's book "Cool It", without acknowledging a later book where he recanted much of what he had claimed in "Cool It"--but then claimed he could fix the problem.
Singer did in his own credibility later in the PBS interview where he basically said that we should just lie back and enjoy the heat. Talk about crony capitalism--on a planetary scale. Wheat producers in Canada will benefit, and the people that will drown are poor and live where they shouldn't? Kind of like giving Exxon and their friends a plenary indulgence on a planetary scale?
Skeptics and shit-stirrers play a valid role in developing science, and should be paid attention to--even if they are paid by the industries in question. But that, of course, is what peer review is all about. Scientists like Singer, and commentators like Lomborg, plow the popular culture field where they plant seeds in the minds of the pre-brainwashed. When they avoid the rigors of peer review, or repeat whoppers, they lose credibility. I don't consider Singer a source--he cited things about ocean acidification and cloud cover that were commonly known as problems with modeling--he didn't discover them. Becoming an apologist for the industry is very different than counseling caution in response.

Quote, ' Mike Ficks mischaracterisation of the conclusions of Singer, and Bjorn Lomborg destroys Ficks credibility.'
What credibility?
He repeatedly claims to have killfiled dozens of posters, MAC INCLUDED, and won't have them grace his computer screen. He then quotes Mac, to argue a point, which he thinks Mac has got wrong! (Conveniently hiding behind his killfile claim on all the occasions he has been shot down in flames for being wrong, and for which he has no answer.)
Credibility zero!

Hey, Joey, notice that I now confine my posts to this narrow section of the forum for that very reason.
AMF?? Really? I like you, too, Ace.
I'll do what I want. ┌∩┐
Figure skating? No idea what that is... maybe you could explain from your experience with it.

"The Christian Siriano hair look for this season is all about different cultures mixing and blending together. The style is a modern bun—full of attitude—with sections of crimped hair cascading over it for texture. It's a strong, contemporary twist on the classic bun." — Antoinette Beenders for Aveda
1. Brush hair with a Mason Pearson brush. Pull the top section of hair — from the hairline to the crown — and clip it out of the way.
2. Comb the remaining hair back into a tight, high ponytail and secure with a bungee elastic. Spray with Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray for hold.
3. Spray Aveda Brilliant™ Spray-On Shine directly onto the bristles of a kabuki-style Aveda Uruku Bronzing Brush. "Paint" the sides of hair with the Uruku Bronzing Brush for shine.
4. Take the ponytail and braid it. Then twist the braid into a bun, securing to the head with bobby pins. Spray with Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray for ultra-strong hold.
5. Remove the clip from the remaining top section of hair and comb to the crown. Working with small portions of hair (approximately one inch) at a time, use a micro-crimping iron to add texture from the crown to ends.
6. Brush the hair with a Mason Pearson brush to loosen the crimp. Gently pull the hair over the bun and secure at the base with hair pins. Spray with Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray.
7. Pull a few pieces of hair out of the bun with fingers for extra texture. Set the look with Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray.
Victoria's Secret Makeup's bronzer/highlighter in Goddess/Afterglow for a super sun-kissed aesthetic. Tone it down a bit more for everyday, as the runway look tends to veer in an extreme direction. The next key element is to apply silky eyeshadow in Snow and Pose with the VS Pro Voluptuous FX Mascara, and top it off with the VS Perfect Lipstick in Whisper.

Twinset and Pearls
In our Southwest Florida paradise, we could be forgiven for hardly noticing the change in temperature as we transition from summer to fall. But what we do notice is the absence of humidity: those glorious days of warmth and sunshine when our makeup doesn't melt and our hair keeps its style! With those fresher days come crisper mornings and cooler evenings, and although an extra layer maybe all that's needed, just slinging any old sweater around the shoulders won't do anything for you in the style stakes. Luckily, the new season's trends provide the perfect opportunity for knitwear to come into its own with a decidedly feminine feel.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Local coalition focusing on pool safety as part of National Safe Kids Week
With the summer swimming season approaching, Mayor Seng and the Safe Kids Lincoln-Lancaster County organization are promoting pool safety. Preventing water-related injuries and drownings will be the focus of the Ultimate SAFE KIDS Day from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 12, at SouthPointe Pavilions. Mayor Seng issued a proclamation declaring May 6 through 13 as "Safe Kids Week" in Lincoln with the theme of "Safe Pools for Safe Kids."
"Each year nationally, an average of 300 toddlers accidentally drown in residential swimming pools. One of those tragic deaths occurred here in Lincoln last summer," said Mayor Seng. "I strongly urge those with private swimming pools to make sure they have the required fencing and safety features. This is one of the best ways to prevent drownings and keep children safe."
The City requires that pools deeper than18 inches be completely surrounded by a fence at least four feet high. Doors and gates must be self-closing and self-latching. Local swimming pool retailers are being asked to display placards and brochures outlining swimming pool safety guidelines and information on Lincoln's ordinance.
Safe Kids Lincoln-Lancaster County and the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) are sponsoring the Ultimate SAFE KIDS Day in conjunction with National Safe Kids Day being observed in more than 350 U.S. communities. The event will feature demonstrations on proper fencing, pool and door alarms and safe pool drainage and drain cover systems.
From 2000 through 2002, 14 children were treated in local emergency rooms for pool-related near-drowning injuries. Every year in the U.S., about 2,400 children ages 14 and under are treated in emergency rooms for pool-related near-drownings. Safe Kids WorldWide reports that the average medical cost for a near-drowning injury is $75,000, and that as many as 20 percent of near-drowning survivors suffer severe, permanent neurological disabilities.
"The rising popularity of deeper, family pools greatly increases the potential for young children to suffer drowning-related injuries," said Leon Marquart, Environmental Health Specialist at the LLCHD. "The community must be proactive in its effort to prevent these tragedies. The life of a child is a tragic price to pay for neglecting to take reasonable prevention measures."
More information on the City ordinance and proper fencing is available on the City Web site, lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: safekids), or by calling the LLCHD at 441-8022.
The Ultimate SAFE KIDS Day also will include activities and information on pedestrian and passenger safety, home safety, fire and burn prevention and bicycle and sports safety. For more information on the event, see the City Web site, lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: safekids), or contact Brian Baker at the LLCHD at 441-8046.

Comcast: Allowing Us To Get Immensely, Inconceivably, Ridiculously Massive Is 'Pro Consumer'
from the now-witness-the-fire-power-of-this-fully-armed-and-operational-battle-station deptComcast has confirmed reports that the company will be acquiring Time Warner Cable in a deal estimated to be worth around $45 billion. With the ink on their NBC acquisition only just dry to the touch, the deal will tack 8 million broadband subscribers onto the company's existing 22 million broadband customers. Comcast is already the nation's largest fixed-line broadband company, largest cable TV provider, and third largest fixed-line phone company -- and that's before you include the company's NBC or other assets. From a geographical perspective the deal makes sense; Time Warner Cable filling in Comcast's coverage gaps and in particular giving Comcast the prized markets of Los Angeles and New York City, where Time Warner Cable has traditionally under-performed.
The problem is less of market share (the two companies didn't compete directly) but one of consolidated power; allowing one, massive company to control both the content and the conduit to your home across the vast majority of the country -- then just hoping they'll play nice with smaller competitors, startups and consumers. Never worry, insists Comcast, who states that they'll divest a few of these markets (most likely to failed Time Warner Cable suitor Charter Communications) so that they won't be quite as absurdly massive as they might have been.
In a memo (pdf) paving the way for what's sure to be a tough attempt at regulatory approval, Comcast's David Cohen trots out Google Fiber as an ambiguous example of why vertical integration and market dominance concerns no longer apply:
"In today's market, with national telephone and satellite competitors growing substantially, with Google having launched its 1 GB Google Fiber offering in a number of markets across the country, and consumers having more choice of pay TV providers than ever before, Comcast believes that there can be no justification for denying the company the additional scale that will help it compete more effectively."Except, well, not. Google Fiber is only available in two actually-deployed markets currently, and despite being a great price-disruptive product in those locations, likely won't be expanding beyond more than a handful of cities. As for "growing" national telephone competitors, both AT&T and Verizon are in the process of gutting regulations across dozens of states so they can begin hanging up on unwanted DSL and phone customers they don't want to upgrade. They're effectively ceding all competition on the fixed-line front in half of their markets so they can focus on wireless, signing co-marketing deals with cable directing those users to what will be their last fixed-line choice for broadband.
That choice is going to be Comcast, and with less competition than ever across huge swaths of the United States, you can be certain the company will be bringing their planned usage caps to your neck of the woods before long -- impacting consumers, startups and small businesses across the country. Again, no sweat argues Comcast. In a "public interest benefit summary," (pdf) Comcast again states you don't have to worry about any of this, because, well, Google Fiber and Netflix. Or something like that:
"A number of online businesses like Apple, Google, Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, and a host of smaller companies are entering the online video space and trying to position themselves as competitors. While we view online businesses as complementary to our business, previous antitrust concerns about further cable consolidation are truly antiquated in light of today's marketplace realities."Right, because there's no way that a massive company like Comcast with that kind of lobbying power and market leverage could find it easier than ever to squeeze these companies through restrictive content licensing deals, regulatory capture, or usage caps, right? And oh, just a reminder Comcast, you own Hulu, and alongside other broadcast owners have worked hard to ensure it never disrupts the legacy TV apple cart. All in all, Comcast would prefer you not worry your pretty little head about any of this stuff as we wait to see whether new FCC boss Tom Wheeler (formerly a lobbyist for the cable industry) approves Comcast's latest adorable growth spurt.

Throwback First Place: 11 years later, KC on top
DETROIT -- The first-place Kansas City Royals. Now that's a combination of words rarely seen in recent years.
Yet that became a reality when the Royals knocked off Max Scherzer and the Detroit Tigers, 11-4, on Tuesday night to take over the lead in the American League Central. The Tigers fell out of first place for the first time all season, now trailing by a half-game.View Full Game Coverage
DETROIT -- The first-place Kansas City Royals. Now that's a combination of words rarely seen in recent years.
Yet that became a reality when the Royals knocked off Max Scherzer and the Detroit Tigers, 11-4, on Tuesday night to take over the lead in the American League Central. The Tigers fell out of first place for the first time all season, now trailing by a half-game.View Full Game Coverage
Rookie Yordano Ventura pitched seven innings for the victory and Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas each belted a two-run homer in a seven-run second inning.
Predictably, the Royals approached their newly-won status with extreme caution.
"What's the date?" said manager Ned Yost. "It's nice, but we've got a lot of games to play. We don't get all geeked up. We're on a nice run right now, we'll just keep it going. It's better than the alternative, trust me."
Gordon, who's been around since 2007, finds first place a comfortable fit.
"It feels good, it's better than last place which we'd been accustomed to in June early in my career," he said. "This is a lot better."
The Royals' ninth straight win matched their longest streak of last year, July 22-Aug. 1. But they were buried in the standings by then.
Such a lofty perch this deep into a season is unusual indeed for the Royals. This was their 70th game, and the last time they had sole possession of first place at 70 games or beyond was on Aug. 29, 2003, after the 124th game. They led the White Sox by one game.
"It's fleeting. It can leave tomorrow," Yost said. "You've got to stay on top of your game."
The Royals faced a tough assignment at Comerica Park where a crowd of 34,328 gathered. Scherzer, last year's Cy Young Award winner, had won his last five decisions against Kansas City. He also had a 5-0 record so far this year at Comerica. And he was coming off a three-hit shutout in Chicago.
None of that mattered in the second inning when the Royals jumped on Scherzer for seven runs on seven hits -- including the homers by Gordon and Moustakas.
Eight batters came to the plate before Scherzer got the first out. Billy Butler started it with a single and took second on right fielder J.D. Martinez's error. Gordon pounded a 1-0 pitch over the right-field wall for his eighth homer.
"Anytime you can do that to a starting pitcher in the second inning, you know they're going to be frustrated a little bit," Gordon said.
Salvador Perez walked and Moustakas lofted a 3-2 pitch down the right-field line for his seventh homer. That was followed by three singles by Alcides Escobar, Jarrod Dyson (an overturned out call) and Nori Aoki. Omar Infante knocked in two more runs with a single to center.
The seventh run scored as Eric Hosmer tapped back to Scherzer. Then Butler and Gordon went out to end the inning -- the Royals' biggest since an eight-run sixth on June 13, 2013, at Tampa Bay.
As the 90-degree evening wore on, Scherzer was finished in the fifth inning after three hits with nobody out. He was charged with 10 runs on 10 hits and one walk. This came one night after the Royals hammered Justin Verlander for seven runs.
Ventura got a helping hand, or glove, from Lorenzo Cain in the fourth. Cain, who had replaced the injured Aoki in right field, leaped to take a home run away from Martinez.
"When you're on a roll, you get breaks," Yost said.
Such as the bizarre out that helped Ventura in the fifth inning. With two outs, a run in and the bases loaded, Ventura unleashed a pitch that sailed over catcher Perez. But the ball crashed into a gate behind home plate, rebounded directly to Perez and the catcher whirled and threw out Eugenio Suarez before he could get back to third base. Inning over.
"Nothing was planned obviously," Moustakas said, "but the ball went past Salvy and I saw it shoot back to him so I shot over to third just in case he throws it. And he threw it, a great play and we were able to get him out."
Just a lucky break?
"No, we've got a sign for that," Perez joked.
With an 11-8 victory in Monday's series opener, this marked the first time the Royals had scored double digits in consecutive games since April 30 and May 1, 2011, when they dispatched Minnesota, 11-2 and 10-3 in that order.
Looking back three weeks, Yost remembered how things were after the Royals had lost three straight to Houston. They were in fourth place, four games under .500 and 6 1/2 games behind Detroit.
"Before we went to Toronto, we had a press conference and we were coming into a real tough stretch," Yost said. "I said we better get our act together quick, or we're in trouble. And, man, we got our act together. From that point on, we've played spectacular baseball."
The Royals are 14-4 since then. The Tigers are in a 5-11 slide and manager Brad Ausmus said his players are fed up.
"They're getting sick of it for sure," Ausmus told reporters. "Anyone that would go through something like this, especially on a team that's supposed to win, would get sick of it. I'm sick of it. They're sick of it. The fans are sick of it. I'm sure you're tired of writing about it."
The Royals, though, were enjoying life at the top. Cautiously.
"It feels great," Moustakas said. "This is where we wanted to be all year, but we're not going to take anything for granted. We've got a lot of baseball left."

Then punches her in the gut so she spits the load out. Kinda like when you lift the head on a real PEZ Dispenser and candy comes out. For added realism and fun have the girl ware some sort of Halloween mask, like Darth Vader or Bugs Bunny, etc.

FIFA 2003 Soccer: It isn't quite perfect, but the latest FIFA game is a refreshing and compelling step ahead in a series that's known for its quality.
As we've seen both in 1998 and this year, EA Sports generally tries to take full advantage of the World Cup, and how much interest it generates in the sport of soccer, by releasing not one, but two soccer games in a year. And now, just five months after 2002 FIFA World Cup comes FIFA Soccer 2003. The latest edition of this decade-old franchise is perhaps the most intriguing in some time, highlighting the tactical battles of the real-life sport and at least partially abstaining from the slam-bang superhuman action of past versions. Make no mistake, the pace can still be inordinately fast unless you choose to slow it down, but this may well be the FIFA that hard-core fans have been waiting for.
After each goal, FIFA 2003 superimposes the team logos and current score onto the pitch.
Presumably since EA Sports has already covered international competition in its earlier game, 2002 FIFA World Cup, FIFA Soccer 2003 focuses on club competition. However, its scope is absolutely huge, encompassing 450 teams from around the world and more than 10,000 individual players, each modeled after real-life counterpart. You can choose from globally renowned powerhouses such as Real Madrid, North American Major League Soccer teams such as the San Jose Earthquakes, or somewhat less-renowned franchises like Korea's Pusan Icons.
The game also features the complete 40-squad international roster from this year's World Cup competition, more than two-dozen gorgeous and purportedly accurate stadiums, and a full allotment of home and away uniforms (and additional "alternate" kits where applicable) for each and every team. Play modes include one-off skirmishes, league seasons, and authentic and custom cup competitions and tournaments. Skilled players have an opportunity to unlock even more tourneys and stadiums by proving themselves worthy on the pitch.
This time around, EA Sports has opted for a deceptively minimalist user interface that makes it easy for rookies to jump right in without being assaulted by a barrage of information screens and choices, but the interface seems poorly designed for veterans who feel the need to tweak and customize. Furthermore, most menus tend to look comparatively rough, with little of the flash and high-end options you might expect from an EA Sports game. Particularly frustrating are the small arrow-shaped icons used to advance forward and move back; they're difficult to locate and hard to activate once you do see them. It's not a completely minor issue either, because these annoying little arrows are used throughout all of FIFA 2003, even for the in-game menu system.
One interesting amenity that you won't even find in the game but can download free of charge is the official "FIFA creation center," a nifty utility that lets you create new players, customize their physical attributes and soccer skills, concoct new kits with predesigned or personalized artwork, modify competitions, and even construct your own logos and banners. It's certainly great, but it should have been included in the game right out of the box.
But FIFA 2003's most important feature is its increased focus on a realistic playing experience. In that respect, EA has significantly tweaked a number of gameplay elements to reward those who calculate their movements in advance, devise pass-based attacks, and use every single button and button combination at their disposal. It has also devised a game with substantially fewer offside calls, and that's good news for everybody.
In FIFA 2003, you can't always rely on the good old speed-burst option to pull you through. In fact, speed bursts are nothing like they were previously. When you hit the jets, your players will take a moment or two just to get up to speed. They'll also take at least that long to slow down again at the end of the burst, and they'll also have a lot less control over the ball while they're in the process of speeding. To make matters worse, the defender marking your runner will dog him every step of the way, most often closing ground simply because he doesn't have to worry about dribbling a soccer ball. Clearly, the speed burst is much more realistic than it was in previous games.
Scoring a goal in FIFA 2003 is similarly more challenging. You'll no longer pull off amazing on-target blasts by simply touching the shoot button and letting go of your movement key or gamepad. Now, you're forced to point your striker directly at the net and punch the shoot button in precisely the right spot or face a string of missed opportunities. Snapping one wide from even a scant 20 feet out is a distinct possibility. In addition, goaltenders now stray well off their lines to cover the entire penalty area, and they sometimes go beyond. It doesn't help that the game still tends to direct too many shots toward goalposts just to keep the score close, though in FIFA 2003, you'll get less of a sense that the game has decided the final score in advance than in previous games.
With the aid of FIFA's new metering system, Roberto Carlos lines up a potentially dangerous free kick.
FIFA 2003 is certainly a more difficult game to master than its predecessor was. More players touch the ball via deflections, bump passes, blocks, and missed passes, and that calls for quicker reactions and better planning. Even gathering in a high ball on the touchline involves more precision and skill. Fortunately, EA Sports has included a number of complex advanced maneuvers and aids designed for those who want to take the time to master them.
The most obvious of these new features is FIFA's metering system. Though it's used for different purposes in different situations, FIFA 2003's meter works much like the swing meter in a PC golf game; it indicates the velocity or direction of your upcoming pass or shot and ultimately gives you more control over the proceedings. Advanced players will also want to experiment with the game's new freestyle control feature, which, when used properly, coaxes a variety of unique and often thrilling signature moves from star performers.
Back for a return engagement in the announcer's booth is quintessential soccer broadcaster and FIFA series veteran John Motson. Together with former Scottish football star and FIFA newcomer Ally McCoist, who serves a satisfactory first-time stint as color commentator, Motson is typically brilliant. His verbiage is believable and wide-ranging, and his delivery is impeccable. In fact, the commentary is so seamless that you may sometimes wonder if Motson and McCoist have set up shop inside your computer.
With FIFA 2003, EA Sports has proven it will finally take a few risks by varying the formula behind the world's number one soccer game. In so doing, it has produced a considerably more challenging and complex affair that should stand the test of time better than its predecessors. It isn't quite perfect, but the latest FIFA game is a refreshing and compelling step ahead in a series that's known for its quality.

Sheriff's officials Thursday announced the arrest of a Norwalk associate pastor accused of molesting as many as 20 female church members over the past eight years.
Jorge Juan Castro, 54, of Norwalk is charged with six felony counts in connection with the alleged sexual assaults of four women between ages 18 and 39 while he worked as an associate pastor and counselor at Las Buenas Nuevas Church, 11910 Alondra Blvd., according to Sgt. Al Garcia of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Special Victims Bureau.
The alleged crimes took place between 2004 and 2012, sheriff's officials said in a statement.
He was placed on leave in April, immediately after 20 women came forward to report they had been sexually assaulted by Castro, Garcia said.
"Multiple victims reported the sexual abuse to a church official, who in turn, reported it to us," the sergeant said.
But only four of the women were willing to speak with detectives as of Thursday, Garcia said.
Castro's alleged victims were primarily Spanish-speaking, undocumented immigrants, the sergeant said. He was believed to have threatened them not to come forward.
"The suspect, after the assaults, threatened to have the them deported," Garcia said. "He also threatened to subject them to public ridicule."
Castro also worked as an associate pastor at an affiliated church, the Oasis Community Church in Moreno Valley, Garcia said. Authorities in Moreno Valley have been notified of the situation, however no victims from Riverside County have been identified, Garcia said.
After more than five months of investigation, deputies served an arrest warrant and took Castro without incident Sept. 13 at his Norwalk home, Garcia said.
Prosecutors charged him the same day with one count of rape, four counts of oral copulation by force and one count of sexual penetration by a foreign object, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Shiara Davila-Morales. The charges involve two victims, and the charged crimes occurred in January of 2004 and April of 2010.
"The criminal complaint includes a special allegation of multiple victims and states that the defendant committed the offenses by use of force, violence, duress, menace and fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury," Davila-Morales said.
Castro started working for the Las Buenas Nuevas church in Norwalk shortly after immigrating to the U.S. from Argentina in 2004, Garcia said.
Garcia said Castro took advantage of his position of authority to sexually assault the women.
"Some crimes occurred at the church, some crimes occurred at the victims' homes," Garcia said.
Detective encouraged the 16 other alleged victims already identified, as well as any others who may not have come forward, to cooperate with investigators to bring Castro to justice.
"We're here to tell the victims, and other potential victims, that law enforcement is here to help them. We will not report (them to) immigration. We're not going to deport them." Garcia said. "We want to help them deal with these heinous crimes and prevent him from doing it again."
Garcia said Castro had no criminal history in the United States that investigators were aware of, however he did not know if he had a record in Argentina.
Castro was initially scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court for an arraignment the day of his arrest, however the hearing was continued to Oct. 16, Davila-Morales said.
According to county booking records, Castro was being held in lieu of $2 million bail.

Mayor Don Wesely, Parks and Recreation Department officials and Southeast High School students today dedicated the city's new skate park at Peter Pan Park, 3250 "X" Street. The students, who helped build the new skate park, are continuing their campaign to raise $70,000 for a second facility for skateboarders and in-line skaters at Tierra Park, 27th Street and Tierra Drive. "This has been a real community project, involving the city, skating fans and many volunteers, including the Southeast High students," said Mayor Wesely. "It has taken several years, but those involved never gave up on the effort to provide safe, challenging and legal facilities for this popular sport."
The Peter Pan skate park and the one to be built at Tierra Park both consist of a concrete base, costing about $14,000, and modular equipment, costing about $56,000. The Peter Pan skate park was funded through the Neighborhood Self-Help Improvement Program, donations and city funds.
In addition to raising funds for the Tierra Park facility, Southeast students will also help build it next spring. Because of Southeast's partnership with Saratoga Elementary, students from that school have also been involved in the skate park projects. Southeast High was also involved in planning, fund-raising and construction of the new accessible playground in Antelope Park.
Donations for the second skate park can be sent to the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Foundation, 2740 "A" Street, Box 204, Lincoln, NE 68502 and to the Lincoln Rollerpark Association, c/o The Nebraska Community Foundation, 1200 "N" Street, Suite 610, Lincoln, NE 68509. Donors should include a note that the donation is for the skate park. All donations are tax deductible.

Yet Another Dancer Site
So we launched the new look moonfruit portal site today:
It got some coverage in techcrunch.
It uses the rather awesome Dancer.
I mentioned it on the Dancer-users list, who seemed to like it, and wanted to know more. Below is reproduced from a post to the dancer-users.
The main Moonfruit service allows users to create sites in flash in a handy draggy droppy way (it being flash).
To do this we have a sprawling, slightly legacy, (but getting much better) Plack based set of API's.
The plan was to upgrade the portal from this (which was basically completely static html).
To a shiny web 2.<whatever we're on now> dynamic system.
So we have 3 collections of routes (ish):
1: Serving the HTML
My filthy Assistants (*) put the html into TT (which they'd learnt on a previous project (which was rendering the flash objects into html for desktop and mobile devices)).
The html pages aren't that dynamic, as it's all done by writing to the DOM with ajax (strictly speaking i guess it's ajaj since we use json) but probably a: will be and b: should be :)
This is pretty standard Dancer / TT stuff, take route, drop a template with some stuff. We have some quite nice bits to set things like the footer nav on start up from a conf file, which is also used to serve sitemap.xml (in an idea stolen from Dancer::Plugin::Sitemap) :), but basically this part is all straight route->template type thing.
One nice thing about using dancer was that once I'd built a very basic platform for the html pages the front end guys were building TT and filling out mock data in the app so they could develop the front end on their own.
<insert gag about dancer being so simple a front end engineer can use it here> :)
2: API calls to the backend
This is the meat of the app, as mentioned above, we could flatten most of the html and serve it statically at the moment.
The dynamic bits: logging in, fetching site information, billing info etc etc are all done with a REST (ish) interface in a separate package, using the very sexy and fabulous Dancer::Plugin::REST
This then uses MF-Portal/lib/MF/Portal/Plugin/JSONRPC.pm
This registers a method api_call which does authenticated JSON RPC to our main api, by doing things like:
get '/some-resty-url/all.:format' => sub {
my $url="/$somebackend-api-call/";
my $method="doSomething";
my $params=["all"];
my ( $data, $error ) = api_call( $url, $method, $params );
return status_bad_gateway("api not available") if $error;
# do some stuff with the data, maybe make a secondary api call
# knit it all together
return $data;
The main parts of the call are handled by conf & the plugin.
I'm using JSON::RPC::Client to do this.
3: Support calls
We're using zendesk to do handle our front line support for the product (which is new with this release), and we're using their Remote auth, so there's a pile of interesting and smart stuff involved in that.
If you click on a link with /zendesk/ (which should really be /support/*) you get redirected via their remote login system if you're logged into our portal, which then logs you into there.
That's basically it. There's a few interesting bits and bobs, and I hope to be able to release some stuff back out to CPAN - I'm pleased with the JSON::RPC plugin, and the zendesk integration (in fact a general zendesk api perl module would be useful).
Oh and there's a pretty much throwaway plugin:
which is for lazy loading - on startup the slow moving data is fetched then stored in a tmp file in case something goes away.
Oh and session handling is done with Dancer::Plugin::Memcached although i'm looking at subclassing that to do selective sessions (i.e. only drop a cookie on session->flush) - it's written just not tested yet.

Mother of Pearl
Thanks to a rotation of artist partnerships, you can always count on something refreshingly different from clothing label Mother of Pearl. Founded by Maia Norman, the London-based brand works with a new collaborator each season to infuse the next collection with a unique aesthetic, whether by way of a particular pattern, color scheme, or sculptural shape. Still, while its inspiration is forever changing, Mother of Pearl clothing does maintain a few constants: sleek, sportswear-inspired silhouettes, top-notch luxury fabrics, and the ability to elicit never-ending compliments.

Photographer Greg Powers came to visit our (mid-construction-contractor-filled) home a couple of months ago to take my portrait in our studio and was soooooo great to work with. Greg took a bunch of pictures that day in various outfits - most way more casual/relaxed than this one ;) ;) I was pretty uncomfortable at first (as I usually am when getting my picture taken) and so Greg said to think of "your kids" as he was taking the pictures. And I did. It really seemed to make a difference in how my eyes looked ("smizing" as they say??) in the photos, although the photo they ended up selecting wasn't one of the "kid-thinking" pics.
The article focuses on my line of textiles, how I got started with them and what inspires the designs.
Part of the interview was about what inspires me (right now I'm really loving following people on instragram), what (or who ;) ;) I wear-- anyone who knows me knows I'm really not big into labels so my response is kind of funny to me (I've had this crazy floral green Badgley Mischka gown hanging in my closet with the tags on for years now that I have nowhere to wear... Every time we have some sort of industry event my assistant jokes about me wearing it out.) who I'd love to work with one day (Bobby McAlpine & Greg Tankersley) , projects I'm working on right now, and I what I'd be doing if I weren't designing...
The two fabrics they showed photos of are Thistle in Sepia and Fern Star in yellow, some of my favorites:
...And they also called me a "free spirit" which made me happy. (And laugh, because I've never thought of myself that way before. I think it sounds way better than "crazy," which is how I often view myself.)

Le Procès de Jeanne d'Arc (1962)
Directed by Robert BressonGenres - Historical Film | Sub-Genres - Biopic [feature], Hagiography, Period Film, Psychological Drama | Run Time - 61 min. | Countries - France |
Share on
Synopsis by Linda Rasmussen
Characteristically breaking with tradition, director Robert Bresson presents a realistic, unique view of the life and death of Joan of Arc. Using a script based on the actual transcript notes taken during her trial, Bresson focuses on the psychological and physical torture that Joan had to endure, showing how these techniques were used to break her resolve and cause her to eventually recant her faith. With impeccable historical accuracy Bresson re-creates the story of the peasant girl who, after leading an unsuccessful revolt against the government, was brought to trial, convicted of heresy, and burned as a witch. However, Bresson shows Joan (Florence Carrez) as a woman more sophisticated and calculating and less naive than she has normally been represented. His Joan, while more real, is no less heroic than the traditional Joan. This unusual approach is characteristic of this unique director who defies classification as either a traditional or "new wave" filmmaker while being highly respected for pursuing his own individual style and vision. Robert Bresson has been called a poet and philosopher with a camera, preoccupied with the idea of predestination and spiritual grace. In Proces de Jeanne d'Arc, as with all of his films, Bresson imprints his own personal signature. The film is tightly constructed and stripped to the bare essence of the material. Bresson has made only a handful of feature films, yet he is one of the most discussed and revered figures in cinema, creative, original and unique.

After the news that the Benelli Due 756 would finally be produced and released came out last week, the Italian brand has released a clarification in response to the news that hit the interwebs. Confirming that the Due would indeed become a production model (after making the rounds at motorcycle shows for the better part of the last five years), the Chinese owned Benelli Q.J. released a statement saying that the release date would not be the end of 2011 as some sites had reported, but instead at the end of 2012 (seemingly making this a 2013 model year motorcycle).
Benelli has not outright denied that the news that the Due will hit the Chinese market before it makes its way to Europe, though the Chinese company was quick to say in its statement that "the current version of the Due will be produced in Italy and exported to China and the emerging global markets (without neglecting the European market)." Cryptically we gather that means that the Due we've seen will be a world model, while an updated version is slated to hit the European market at some point in the future (2018 perhaps?).

After missing 24 games with a left leg injury, LA Lakers point guard Steve Nash will take the court Saturday against the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Nash will start at point guard for the Lakers and will play without a minutes limit, according to coach Mike D'Antoni.
Nash has sat out since an Oct. 31 game against the Portland Trail Blazers, when he suffered a small fracture to his left fibula in a collision with rookie point Damian Lillard.
As Nash worked to make his return, the Lakers struggled to find wins. A hole at point guard was only one of several problems for the Lakers, who are off to a 12-14 start.
Backup point guard Steve Blake has been away from the Lakers for nearly as long as Nash. He suffered an abdominal injury and still needs about four more weeks to recover, according to the LA Times.

Education reformers and their teachers' union foes seemed equally stunned on Tuesday by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu's ruling that found California's teacher-tenure system, which makes it nearly impossible for public schools to fire teachers, to be an affront to the equal-protection clause of the state Constitution.
This is the first step in a long legal process that pits a group of poor kids and reformers against the state and the powerful California Teachers' Association and its Capitol allies, but this was big national news — and the latest volley in an ongoing debate about educational reform.
The judge agreed with the plaintiffs' argument that tenure and other statutes "result in grossly ineffective teachers obtaining and retaining permanent employment, and that these teachers are disproportionately situated in schools serving predominantly low-income and minority students."
It's such a tortuous and costly process for school districts to eliminate bad teachers, ruled the judge, that few even bother trying. The case came down to priorities: Should teacher job protections continue to trump the educational rights of students, especially poor ones?
This case included plaintiffs from the Los Angeles Unified School District. In 2009, the Los Angeles Times published an investigation into the district's firing process and concluded that it rarely ousts incompetents — and struggles even to boot teachers accused of horrific misconduct. In one notorious case, LAUSD paid a teacher $40,000 to get him to drop his appeal of his firing after he was accused of feeding children his own semen.
That 2012 case sparked angry calls for reform to the teacher-dismissal system, but the CTA quashed the effort. The follow-up bill that passed the Legislature would actually have made it harder to get rid of abusive teachers, prompting a veto. Finally, the Senate this past Monday OK'd reform, but it's watered down and applies only to teachers accused of egregious misconduct.
Commentary: More Steven Greenhut columns about California
Given that raw display of CTA power, it's clear that nothing will change without a court directive. And seeing how difficult it is to get rid of teachers who are accused of crimes, it's easy to understand the plaintiff's point: Thousands of "merely" incompetent teachers are left in the classroom.
The judge also targeted the "last in, first out" law that bases layoffs on seniority. "No matter how gifted the junior teacher, and no matter how grossly ineffective the senior teacher, the junior gifted one … is separated from them," explained the judge.
A defense witness testified that only 1 percent to 3 percent of teachers are "grossly ineffective," but Treu noted that "the extrapolated number of grossly ineffective teachers ranges from 2,750 to 8,250" given the state's 275,000 active teachers. That's a lot of teachers inflicting harm on thousands of students. And never mind the mediocre ones.
"We the people should call upon the governor and attorney general, who defended this case against the minority children, to stop the appeals," said Gloria Romero, a former Democratic state senator from Los Angeles. "The reason we could achieve victory was this was done in the independent branch of government where CTA money doesn't play." She wants Jerry Brown to call for a special legislative session and to "examine your Jesuit conscience and do the right thing for poor children …."
In response, CTA blasted Romero and others as part of "yet another attempt by the usual corporate special interests to undermine the teaching profession." It boasted that the state would appeal, even though the attorney general's office said it still is considering the matter.
"We didn't think, honestly, that we would have a chance of winning," said an exuberant Ben Austin, executive director of Parent Revolution, which supported the plaintiffs. "We just wanted to go to trial and force them to defend the indefensible under oath."
If this tentative ruling is upheld, the Legislature will need to defy the CTA and revisit teacher-dismissal laws. But Austin is right that the real change needs to come from the grassroots, with the public demanding that the state start putting the education of kids above the job protections demanded by the unions representing those kids' teachers.

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has gained so many tough yards, scored so many big touchdowns, the surprise was when he fumbled in the third quarter of last night's playoff win.
But though he didn't say much after the game, his teammates said they weren't concerned about the turnover.
"One thing about 24," fullback Michael Robinson said, via Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times."You don't ever have to worry about his mindset."
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Lynch was "too tough to let something like that bother him," and he certainly showed that down the stretch.
Lynch came back to score the game-winning touchdown (following a block by quarterback Russell Wilson), and gained 99 of his 132 yards in the second half.
Washington had only allowed teams to rush for 150 yards twice in the regular season, but the Seahawks did that in the second half alone, wearing down the Redskins for 224 for the game.
Lynch was the main part of that, and the way he got better as the night wore on was impressive, averaging 2.5 yards per carry in the first quarter, but gradually increasing from 4.7 in the second to 7.7 in the third and 8.8 per attempt in the fourth.
"I feel like he ran the hell out of the ball," center Max Unger said.
Lynch didn't talk to reporters after the game, but a team spokesman sent out a statement about Wilson's block: "It was cool. He made a good play. I appreciate it."
And they appreciate the way he continues to run, regardless of a momentary setback.

A frustrating season for the Hillsdale College volleyball team was summed up in the margin and manner in which it lost three sets to a strong Ferris State team Friday night.
The Chargers won the first and fourth sets by scores of 25-18 and 25-20, playing well in all phases of the game. The Bulldogs won sets 2, 3 and 5 by two points each, the slimmest margin possible in the sport of volleyba,,, 25-23, 26-24 and 16-14 to win the match 3-2.
Hillsdale is now 15-13 overall and 10-7 in the GLIAC and wraps up regular season play Saturday against 15th-ranked Grand Valley State.
Neither team hit better than .200 in the match, and the teams combined for 24 total blocks, 13 by the Bulldogs. Most other statistics were as even as one would imagine a match like this to be, with Hillsdale holding a 65-60 edge in total kills.
Hillsdale led the fifth set 8-3, but the Bulldogs responded big-time after the teams switched sides. Ferris State attacked Hillsdale with power from its outside hitters and quickly regained momentum in the match.
Junior Kat Vael secured a career-high 16 kills, seven of them coming in the first set when she put away seven out of her eight attempts.
Sophomore Emily Wolfert got stronger as the match moved along, and led all players with 18 kills in the match. She also played a terrific match defensively with 17 digs.
Senior Caitlin Kopmeyer joined the AVCA's 30-dig club, becoming the third player on the team to reach that mark in a match this season. She had a career-high 31 digs while playing all five sets at libero.
Sophomore Jenalle Beaman came off the bench to play excellent volleyball in both front and back rows, and had 10 kills, a .391 hitting percentage and eight digs.
Junior Alexis Waugh dished out 31 assists, tied for the second-most she's had in a match this season. Sophomore Marissa owen cranked out a double-double with 11 digs and 22 assists.

User modeling and user intent inferencing
User modeling and user intent inferencing involves building dynamic cognitive user models that can predict the goals and intentions of a user in order to understand and ultimately provide proactive assistance with user tasks, such as information gathering. The key is to capture the user's intent by answering questions such as: what is the user's current focus, why is the user pursuing certain goals, and how will the user achieve them? The efforts involve machine learning, knowledge representation, intent inferencing, and establishment of proper evaluation metrics. This work has been applied to assisting with intelligent information retrieval and enhancing the effectiveness of intelligence analysts.
