Last Game
Chivas USA 3, Earthquakes 2; April 24, 2010; The Home Depot Center; Carson, Calif.
Chivas USA collected a victory on Saturday evening, holding off a late push from the visiting San Jose Earthquakes for a 3-2 victory at The Home Depot Center. Goals from Sacha Kljestan, Justin Braun and Chukwudi Chijindu were the difference as the Red-and-White claimed their second consecutive win at home. It was Kljestan who found the back of the net first. San Jose equalized just before halftime with a 41st-minute penalty kick. Chris Wondolowski netted from the spot for the visitors, slotting a low ball into the left-hand corner of the net after he was taken down in the box by Jonathan Bornstein. Any momentum the Quakes had going into the second half was quickly squelched by Justin Braun in the 54th minute. The big Chivas striker got onto the end of an incisive cross from Mariano Trujillo to head the ball past a diving Cannon and into the far left side of the net. It was Braun's fourth consecutive goal against the Earthquakes. Substitute striker Chukwudi Chijindu added a third notch for the Red-and-White in the 88th minute after collecting a long pass from Lahoud and outpacing Steven Beitashour. The SoCal native calmly slipped the ball under Cannon, who had charged off his line. The Quakes swarmed in the game's closing minutes, getting a goal of their own in the 92nd minute when defender Steven Beitashour hit a speculative shot from beyond the 18-yard line that sailed over the Chivas USA defense but dipped under the bar at the last moment.
Last Game vs. Colorado Rapids
Earthquakes 1, Colorado Rapids 1; Sept. 23, 2009; Dick's Sporting Goods Park; Commerce City, Col.
After coughing up Conor Casey's stoppage time penalty kick in Friday's 1-1 tie against the Colorado Rapids, history repeated itself five days later, as Casey once again snatched victory away from San Jose with a spot kick equalizer three minutes into added time. It was a fortuitous bounce that allowed the visitors to take the lead in the 67th minute. A Simon Elliott free kick was flicked on by Ramon Sanchez, and in an effort to cut out the pass, Rapids midfielder Pat Noonan played the ball off his arm and back to Burpo. Referee Salazar immediately pointed to the spot, and Wondolowski buried the ensuing spot kick, driving it straight down the middle with more than enough power to beat Burpo. It was stoppage time when Jordan Harvey sent a long ball towards Omar Cummings down the left wing, and after evading Bobby Burling the Jamaican carried the ball into the box, where Quakes defender Jason Hernandez upended him, leaving Salazar with an easy call. Casey proceeded to send Cannon the wrong way on the penalty for his league-leading 15th goal of the season.

As part of our enhanced board security procedures, we are now requiring all new members to check in and let us know you are here by posting to this or any other thread within 1 week of registration.
Every Friday evening, we will purge all members who have been registered for more than 1 week but have never posted.
Since we no longer allow non-posting members, this "check-in" post may serve as your one and only post if you simply want to be a registered "lurker".
But don't be just a lurker!
Everyone has something to contribute!
BEFORE you post your first post, please read the Rules for Posting that are at the top of just about every page on this board.
By posting your first post in here or on any other thread, you signify that you HAVE read the Rules for Posting.
Thanks, and welcome to Timebomb2000!
Edit to add:
I just want to caution everyone that we have a lot of new members, many of which are long-time lurkers who have been around as long or longer than many of us. They are just as much a part of this board and their posts, now that they have "de-cloaked" so to speak, are just as valuable as any of us oldtimers' posts.
That being said...
The flip side of that coin is that the only way we "know" people is by their posting history...
Regardless of how long you have been lurking and how much you feel like you know all of us and wish to now contribute (and we DO welcome such contributions), please keep in mind that we don't "know" you...yet.
And please bear with us until we DO get to know you a little better.
As many of you know, we have recently come through a difficult time on the board. We HAVE had some "hit-and-run" troublemakers and trolls who just love to toss out some heated or controversial tidbit and watch the fur fly.
Keep in mind that WE (the mods and admins and the other members) cannot easily tell the difference between a recently de-cloaked, long-time, sincere lurker turned poster and a "hit and run" troll looking to stir up trouble.
Please bear that in mind if some of us appear rather sensitive to certain posts in this time of tremendous sensitivity and uncertainty and potential dis-information.
I hope you new members with relatively few posts under your belt can understand that the rest of us cannot readily assume ANYTHING about any poster with relatively few posts.
Like it or not, in this medium, you earn your stripes via your posts...so please DO post and let us get to know you through your contributions but PLEASE do not take offense if we question, ask for further clarification, evidence, links, etc.
I hope this came out like I intended it...
Hey, I am now old nuff to handle the adult stuff too : )~Howdy everyone. Glad to see all the new folks in here. Jump in and enjoy the conversations. This year has started off with a bang (literally!) and the rest of us here look forward to your insights and thoughts. Come on in,take your shoes off and sit a spell. The virtual rocking chairs are comfy and JWard lays out a nice selection of snacks. I think Millwright and Red baron are in charge of the adult beverages.
There is so much that we can learn from you. And there is so much going on in the world, your eyes and Ears and thoughts and opinions are valued and valuable.
Look up to your right.Hello, again. It's Freeman again.
How do I set up an ICON for myself (photograph or artwork) to replace the apparent default

Thanks for any reply.

Gifting is a great way to express appreciation to employees, acknowledge the achievement of goals and honor business milestones. Ideal for professions that have a high lifetime value business relationship, a business gift provides a means both of making contact and of staying engaged.
As a promotional tool, gifting will help you convert customers to loyal customers, retain seasonal or cyclical clientele, reconnect with lapsed customers and create a reciprocal relationship.
Much more than an annual holiday touch-base with clients, a robust corporate gifting program is a potent goodwill tool. Gifting is crucial to expressing appreciation towards employees, acknowledging the achievement of goals, honoring personal and business milestones, enhancing celebrations and much more. You can also use it to contact lapsed customers.
Sending corporate business gifts are the standard for many industries, and for good reason. Providing business gifts for customers is a stronger expression of appreciation than a simple thank you or handshake. Contact our Business Consultant for a complimentary new business gifts consultation and put gifting to work for your organization.
You and those who receive your gifts must be delighted, or we'll make it right with either an appropriate replacement or refund.

The Duchess of Cambridge has been praised for returning to royal duties just weeks after giving birth to Prince George.
"She did very well," protocol expert William Hanson told Royal Central. "She did great as usual and should be commended for it."
William, the country's leading expert in etiquette and protocol was speaking about Kate's return to Royal duties when she attended the Tusk Trust Awards with Prince William on September 12.
He also praised the Duchess' confidence in attending the engagement so soon after Prince George's arrival. "She was very confident to begin with but I think she has settled well into her role and is happy that she has given birth to Prince George."
The protocol expert, who regularly appears on TV shows offering his advice also explained too soon George will learn of the responsibility that comes with his title.
"Whilst Prince George is too young to realise what's going on around him and who he is, seeing both his parents carry on with their duty will be very important in time and he will soon learn that he too has been destined for great responsibility.
"He will learn that there is never really off time [as a member of the Royal Family] and one must simply get on with things."
The Duchess dazzled as she arrived to the awards at The Royal Society in a Jenny Packham floor length glittery gown which William described as "very nice".
During the awards, Prince William joked that he and Kate would be checking their mobile phones as it was the first time they had left Prince George at home.
"This is actually our first evening without him, so please excuse us if you see us nervously casting cheeky glances at our mobile phones to check all is well back home," the Prince said in a speech.
Last week, the new parents confirmed Prince George's christening will take place on October 23 in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace.
It is believed William and Kate chose the chapel as it offered a more intimate setting for the service, which will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The Top 8 Reasons Why You're Scrawny And The Other Dude Is Not!
July 9, 2010 by Shaun
Filed under The Fitness Bug
Warning… This post may cause extreme motivation!
A lot of what you are about to read might not exactly be news to you, and most of it might even be familiar territory. However, even iconic pro competitors need a good reminder and smack upside the head to keep them on track at times, and that's exactly what this is.
Either way, building muscle can be is as simple as ABC/123. But if you are still failing to get ripped, even after all the advice you've consumed from being on this site, then it is most likely going to be because of one of the reasons listed here.
Take notes or bookmark… it's a long one!
#1 You're Over Training Your Muscles
I know it's good to watch your muscles pump away while you are in the gym. Veins are busting out and your muscles will look 'ready'. However, this won't last long and they will deflate shortly after that. So don't get too happy.
Muscles grow during non gym activity, not when you're pumping the hell out of them.
It may seem like a no-brainer, but some people simply forget that and end up training every single day.
That doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. But 5 day routines will only work if they are properly planned.
- Monday – Weightlifting/ Lower body
- Tuesday – Cardio (Low intensity)
- Wednesday – Weightlifting/ Upperbody
- Thursday – Cardio (Low intensity)
- Friday – Weightlifting routine / Lowerbody
You could call this the A, B, A workout if you wish, with Day 1 being workout A and Day 3 being workout B. You can alternate this routine in the 2nd week if you wish. Instead of doing A, B, A just do B, A, B. All this is in aid of keeping your muscles ready and surprised for something new
If you aren't training as described above, there's a good chance that you are probably over training your muscles by performing exercises that overlap and work the same muscle groups. If so… do the above and fix it!
#2 You're Not Focusing On Your Weaknesses
You build huge shoulders/ arms with ease, yet have scrawny legs… and keep on neglecting them. :s
Why, why, whyyyyy?
Especially you daddy long legged bodybuilders (Looks at Shaun Sinclair s body type)
Did you know, that building strong and powerful legs will actually complement your upper body, making you appear larger in size… and more proportioned?
Of course you knew that.
So why do you keep on focusing on what you've already achieved. Move the hell on. Put some meat on those chicken legs. Give the man eating piranha fish something to chew on already!
You've already mastered your strengths (A good start). Now focus on the areas where you are the weakest. Do that and your body will improve!
#3 You're Doing Too Much Cardio
It was on page 7 in the ebook, 'Build a 6 pac: from flab to flat' where I showed you how to structure your workouts based on your body type and goals. If you haven't read that already, go get the ebook. It's FREE.
Anyhow… the conclusion for hardgainers is that you need to focus less on cardio in the early stages of building muscle. Focusing too much on cardio really will hamper your muscle building efforts because building muscle is hard enough as it is for hardgainers. Why make it harder for yourself by shredding calories needed to build that muscle?
Cut Back On Your Cardio
By how much?
I'd say one day a week consisting of low intensity workouts (Jogging/ Slow cycling)
The rule
- High intensity short cardio workouts = Fat loss
- Moderate intensity long cardio workouts = Building lean muscle (Increases metabolism)
Having Too Much Fun Partying?
This could potentially be another reason why you aren't building any muscle. We all like to party and dance the night away, and I highly recommend that you should (Come and party with me one day… I'm an animal!). But too much cardio activity (even though fun) will put a strain on your ability too build muscle.
1) Alcohol (Causes dehydration)
When you drink alcohol in excessive amounts it damages your muscles and dehydrates the body, which leads to a lack of water in your muscles. Water is the very thing that your muscles need in order to grow and be maintained. So you may find that after a few weeks of drinking on the binge, you feel a lot thirstier after working out.
This will lead to days lost to workout due to a hangover.
2) Often ends up in sexual activity
- Less food consumed (Too much time in bed) and even more calories burned.
Now, partying is one of the core things you need to be doing to enjoy the lifestyle, the way that know you should. And it doesn't necessarily need to consist of all of the above (although it is often the case). But the amount of partying you do needs to be kept under control, because it makes you lose focus, can age you and worst of all prevent you from building muscle mass.
#4 Too Much Sex
This could be a key reason to why you are lacking in the muscle growth department. However, the thought of having less sex to maintain muscle masswhen a man is in a healthy sexual relationship is near impossible to carry out.
Now, I'm not suggesting that you decrease your sexual activity to main muscle mass. No, no, no!
In fact I would encourage more sex. And here's why…
Testosterone is one of the biggest muscle building hormones out there. It is partially responsible for allowing muscles to gain so much more weight than females do.
Testosterone is also one of the main sex hormones as well, meaning that when you are physically turned on, your testosterone levels will be higher.
Therefore, having an active sex life can actually enhance the testosterone release in the body and work with your workouts to help you gain more muscle mass.
What you must not do
Have sex right before a workout
Because testosterone release tends to drop after sex, therefore having sex right before a workout isn't the best idea. If you are, then stop and fix it!
#5 You're Not Eating Right
The rule
To increase body mass you need to consume more calories than you use.
Fail to do that and you wont grow. Simple.
You maybe eating well. But the food you are eating may not contain enough nutrients to feed your body of what's required to build muscle.
If so you may have to take supplements to fill your body of those extra needed nutrients, depending on your diet.
Your meals
- 80% should consist of REAL Food (At least)
- 20% supplements
(Read this post for the types of foods and when to eat them)
The 'DONE-FOR-YOU' Hardgainers Workout Routine Plan/ Meal Plan
(Read these posts for specific foods and meals)
Stay-Fit Bug | Killer Foods for Fitness (part 1)
How To Build Muscle Mass With A High Metabolism?
You need to eat food, yes! But you also need to enjoy it. You need to enjoy the journey, because one day you will look back on all of this and you really will be an unhappy and miserable bunny if the memories are of you acting like a processed computer the whole time. Have fun with it!
Which supplements do you 'need'?
I've 'tried' a few in my time, just to see what the fuss is about. But in terms of what you actually 'need', it's as follows…
Whey Protein (Protein intake boost – ON Whey Protein
Glutamine (Scivation Xtend)
Helps with muscle recovery
Multivitamin (Animal Pak)
Fish Oil (Helps get rid of muscle soreness – Optimum Fish Oil)
There are some others that do work great, which I have listed on the bodybuilding resources page. But in general, these are the ones you 'need'
#6 The Other Dude Honors His Game (Like his balls and his word)
The underlying reason why the other dude has monster sized muscle and you don't is because he has been working his ass off and training insane!
I really would like to give you a personal demonstration of this, but I currently am not in a position to do this as of this post (Not the way I'd like to… COMING SOON!)
That is…
- Intense reps/ sets
- Short rest periods
- 35 minute workouts
Consistently over a period of time… to keep it simple.
Muscles will speak out loud and grow only when you force them to explode.
The reason why you are puny and he is not, is because he is disciplined, persistent, focused and understands the meaning of sacrifice.
If you follow this through you will be puny and pathetic no longer.
Are you pumped yet?
What was that?
… No?
Well, I can't provide you with any video from yours truly 'today', but I'll let my favorite fictional friend help you out.
Kratos of God of war 3
As you can see, the guy is intense. He might not be real, but I don't think he needs to be. Take his aggression and intensity into the gym and you will happily say bye-bye to the puny YOU!
#7 You're Just A Lazy B*****d!
If so, then let me do the honours of exposing your traits.
- You instigate mindless conversations in the gym (You don't actually workout while you are there. Dumb socialite)
- You go into things half hearted. Not just in the gym, but in everything you put your mind to.
- You have a whole lot of mouth, but show no action (You could be a politician). You start your workout session and then give up when the going gets tough. And no, you are not tough. Because you don't get going (Even your lady says so XD).
You'll eventually get exposed!
There are probably more traits for you lazy b*****ds, but I've made my point. You are still puny because you are full of sh*t! You want, but don't want to do what's required to 'get'.
You lazy f****rs have no right to complain about looking like a skinny rat.
This may well be the reason why the other dude has monster muscle and you don't!
Fix it!
#8 You Smoke Too Much Weed (AKA Marijuana)
Now you can agree to disagree with what you're about to read, but first read my disclaimer.
I have not personally smoked marijuana. The views expressed here are from those who have had first hand experience smoking marijuana and some of which, blame the inhaling of weed for there lack of muscle building results.
Quotes from the experienced
I workout, smoke marijuana and I feel great!
Before a workout – Helps me to keep better form and concentrate on specific muscles more effectively.
After a work – I get a epinephrine high from the workout plus the high from the marijuana smoke, which leads to an overall better performance.
– Running or biking after smoking marijuana allows me to keep up excellent rhythm and push myself harder than usual.
I can't workout and smoke marijuana. It makes me feel awful!
– I wouldn't recommend smoking while, before, or after working out, as I've done that twice and thrown up both times. It really is not a pleasant experience.
– If I smoke before I work out I get really lazy and cannot get motivated. Besides, smoking marijuana produces oestrogen and by having that in your system you cannot get that solid muscle feel from a workout that the non-smokers get.
I'm no expert on legal/ illegal substances, but like alcohol, it seems that weed affects different people in different ways. And smoking weed might just be the reason why you are struggling to build muscle as a skinny guy.
There probably are many other reasons to why you might be struggling to build muscle as a skinny guy. But I bet you the reasons will probably come back to one of the points listed above.
Hopefully you took notes like I told you too, or just bookmarked the page, because you will need to be reminded of these points every time you find yourself struggling to build muscle.

Loss Widens at Electric-Car Maker Tesla
Electric-car maker Tesla Motors Inc. on Wednesday reported a wider fourth-quarter loss and warned of new cost cuts, but said production of its Model S sedan is running at a rate of 20,000 vehicles a year, a key benchmark for investors.
The Palo Alto, Calif., auto maker said higher expenses for manufacturing and sales operations contributed to a loss of $89.9 million, or 79 cents a share, compared with a loss of $81.5 million, or 78 cents a share, a year earlier. It also missed its target for fourth quarter production.

Some of her peers might have questioned actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead's sobriety when she admitted she was getting bored with her job, and took on a low-paying indie "Smashed" to play a very unglamorous drunk.
After all, in less than a decade the 27-year-old actress has landed a slew of very coveted, high-profile gigs, including Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof," Len Wiseman's "Live Free Or Die Hard" and Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World." But Winstead was starting to crave a real challenge, so she decided to seek out something Hollywood wasn't offering her.
The result is a potentially career-changing turn in the stark, occasionally darkly funny indie drama (opening Oct. 12) in which the actress plays a schoolteacher struggling to come to grips with her increasingly troublesome alcoholism, even as her cocktail-loving husband (Aaron Paul) doesn't understand her need to change. Winstead tells how, even while successful by most show business standards, she needed to find a project to prove something to herself.
How'd you arrive at a point career-wise where you were looking for something to really test yourself?
I just had a bit of a wakeup call that I needed to do it. It's something that I had been wanting for year and just hadn't really gotten off my ass and just made it happen, because I was sort of waiting around for somebody to make it happen for me. I realized that it was just never going to come unless I got a little more proactive. That's when I kind of just went out and started actively seeking scripts – Independent scripts, independent producers and filmmakers, anyone I could meet and get to know that were doing something different than what everybody else was doing.
What made you take that leap?
I was on a set of a film – a film that I was happy to do; I certainly wasn't doing it begrudgingly. I'm happy to have any kind of work, but I wasn't feeling challenged. I was feeling a little bit bored, and that's kind of when I was like, 'I'm in this industry which is so exciting and so full of creativity, and I'm bored at work? This isn't why I wanted to be an actor. I might as well be in an office or something, if I'm bored.' Also, for a long time I felt like I was really growing and progressing and with each role was sort of learning more, and a few films had gone by where I really hadn't that felt that same progress.
How did you prepare for the hardcore partying that your character does?
Aaron [Paul] and I kind of went out and had a bit of a drinking binge together before we shot, and he filmed it because he wanted to watch himself back and see what he was like drunk – that was kind of his tactic. For me it was more I just wanted to remind myself of what it feels like to be that drunk, because it's not something that I do very often. It's like a once-in-a-blue-moon type thing, so I wanted it to be a bit more fresh in my mind when I was playing those scenes, of just what it feels like in your body to have that level of intoxication.
And you went to some AA meetings to observe? Just as yourself?
I went, invited by people in the meetings, such as Susan [Burke, the co-screenwriter] and also Alishe [Beardeaux, an associate producer on the film], who's also in recovery. So I would always go with one of them, and it was always open meetings, which are different than closed meetings. Closed meetings are private and open meetings are open to anyone who wants to learn about the program. So I didn't go in and announce, 'I'm making a movie and I'm an actor.' But I also didn't go in and try to pretend that I was an addict. If I was asked to speak I would say, 'I'm actually here just to learn about the program and to learn from you,' and they were all very accepting of that and welcoming of me.
How did the candor of people at the meetings help shape your character?
I went to so many meetings that what started really popping up, for me, is the fact that there is no one face of alcoholism, and the fact that any one of those people could be me, could be my dad or my mom, could be my sister. So there was no otherness about it – it was very universal. Their struggles and their stories were no different from my own stories. And of course some of them were darker than others.
They weren't all the same, but they were all completely relatable and real and human, and so for me it was just take alcohol out of the equation and I fit right in with these people. That was kind of a surprise to me, just because I haven't anyone really close in my life who's dealt with alcoholism. It's not something that's been close to me or that I've seen at really close range – it's always been something that's been a bit at arm's length. So to kind of sit down with them and realize that there's nothing that differentiates me from them was a good first step to figuring out the character and figuring out how much I related to her personally.
Have you started to feel a seismic shift in what's coming your way now, since the Industry folks have had the opportunity to see this film?
For me, I did what I needed to do – for me. It's just changed my confidence in myself a lot as an actor, because it's one of those things where for years and years, like a lot of actors do, you sort of sit around and kind of grumble about how everybody else is getting the parts that you want and why can't you get one of those great parts. But you sabotage yourself along the way, too, because you have such a fear of failing at those great parts. So when you get it, that fear of screwing it up is huge.
For me the fact that I did it and I got through it and I did what I wanted to do with it is huge. I haven't felt a shift in career yet, really, other than the fact that I've been more confident and holding off on doing something that I'm not totally passionate about and just kind of reading scripts and saying, 'Not right now. That's not the right thing.' But we'll see.

Two red, two yellow.
What sounds like a child sorting Halloween hard candies this year doubles as something a bit more important to state and federal disaster-management officials: the Waffle House Index for Hurricane Sandy.
Two Waffle Houses near Allentown, Pa., were closed, and two in Maryland were open but serving a limited menu, according to Waffle House spokesperson Kelly Thrasher. All were without electricity; the open ones had gas and water.
Thrasher summarized the Index: when an official phones a Waffle House and the restaurant is open and serving the full menu, the index is Green. When the restaurant is open but serving a limited menu, it's yellow. When it's closed, it's red.
Federal Emergency Management Administration head Craig Fugate devised the index after leading Florida's response to several hurricanes in the 2000s. Based on the 24-hour restaurant chain's hardy reputation and presence across the Southeast, it is an informal yet handy way to assess an area's post-calamity condition.
This allows officials to do quick disaster-relief triage: red areas need help first, and fast.
Thrasher said Hurricane Isaac closed 40 restaurants on the gulf coast for a few days. She attributed the difference between this and Sandy to the chain's high concentration of restaurants in the gulf area. Their restaurants in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania are fewer and more spread out. There are no Waffle Houses in New Jersey or New York.
In addition, the company was "definitely proactive" before Sandy hit, Thrasher said. They tracked the storm all last week and sent an advance team pre-landfall with extra supplies and employees.
The Waffle House Index has its own hashtag. "How can the severity of Sandy be measured? The northern most WaffleHouse is in Ohio. #WaffleHouseIndex," a Twitter user [@rkeni2] tweeted yesterday.
Thrasher called the attention "very flattering," but added: "This is what we do all the time: to be there for our customers and associates on an everyday basis."
A call to FEMA went unreturned. Perhaps they were busy calling Waffle House.
Watch the full story on a special "20/20" tonight at 10 p.m. ET on WWAY NewsChannel 3.

What does psychology and game development have in common? Not much, unless you are Jordan Mechner. A Yale graduate with a degree in psychology, Mechner found success delving into the minds of virtual humans, as opposed to real ones. His first foray in the world of video-game creation occurred while he was still a student, with Karateka, which he created on and for the Apple II. The title, lauded at the time for its fluid animation, was published by Broderbund, which would also publish another of his hits and one that would make him the early king of video-game character creation.
Several years before the archaeologist/adventurer Lara Croft began making game character history, Mechner introduced the world to the nameless Prince, who waged his first battle against ancient baddies in Prince of Persia, for the Apple II platform. A big hit, the game eventually was ported to every conceivable platform. At a time when video games consisted of basic pixels jumping around on the screen (think Mario rescuing Princess Toadstool in Super Mario Bros.), Prince of Persia presented a giant leap forward in terms of its look and style—in particular, its fluid animation. It popularized many of the computer gaming features that eventually became commonplace, such as rotoscoped animation, for lifelike human motion. (Mechner had used videos and photos of his brother running and jumping in white clothes as a guide for the Prince's actions.) Four years later, Mechner followed up with Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, which introduced as many as four enemies on the screen at a time, as opposed to just one in the original game—a big accomplishment at that time.
In 1999, the Prince and his band of characters slashed their way into 3D in a title aptly named Prince of Persia 3D, followed by a second and more successful attack in 2003 with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which stormed the marketplace yet again with its realistic, fluid character animation in a graphics-rich environment. Indeed, Prince of Persia 3D for the PC was a giant leap forward for the property, accurately simulating the Prince's world in 3D as opposed to a flat 2D plane—a move that required extensive research into the period's history, myths, paintings, and buildings. Architects with a passion for Persian construction helped design some of the environments. But The Sands of Time, developed by Ubisoft for the then-new consoles (Xbox, PS2, and GameCube), took the visuals and acrobatic combat to new heights. Little did they know that this was just the first big step in bringing the Prince and his world to life.
While two more sequels followed in 2004 (Warrior Within) and 2005 (The Two Thrones), the biggest development in this franchise occurred last month, with the release of a film written by Mechner and loosely based on The Sands of Time though carrying the same moniker. Mechner has stated, "Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new video game, we're taking some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story." And cool it is. In this live-action adventure, a number of VFX houses contributed cutting-edge CG effects—from stunning environments and magical elements, to digital armies and deadly weapons. They even helped the now-named Prince (Dastan) rewind time (see "Against the Grains," pg. 10). Coinciding with the film's release is the Ubisoft game Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, for the current generation of platforms (PS3, Xbox 360, and more). An interquel, occurring between The Sands of Time and Warrior Within, the game sports a vivid painterly style teeming with lush, detailed environments in which the Prince continues to exhibit his extreme, fluid, acrobatic abilities.
Whether in interactive mode or one that is digitally enhanced, the antics of the beloved Prince (and those who created the film and the latest game) are sure to be a treasure worth embracing.

yeah seriously? i have the region 0 dvd. i should turn it off when the nightmare happens? afterwards? during? never to know whats in there?
i think you guys are thinking of the wrong dvd. i have the region 0 dvd and after the nightmare, it just cuts to the credits.
i've finally gotten around to getting twin peaks to watch. i've got the pilot and disc one of season one sitting here right now. my parents loved the show when it was on, and i can remember them watching it religiously, but i've never seen it. any words of advice before i watch it?
It's too bad mod-age will get all hyped up, and then have to wait until MAYBE the end of 2005 (unless he gets the Region 2 set at the end of the year or the VHS copies) to see who the killer is in Season 2.
Actually, the second season is a huge step down from the first. The first episode is good, and then the last three or so are as great, but otherwise Lynch was mostly uninvolved, due to his commitment to Wild At Heart, and it shows. It's still definitely worth seeing, (especially those last three, and of those especially the last one -- hot damn!), but don't fret too much over the wait.

Alumni Arena's main gymnasium is home to the Bulls' men's and women's basketball teams, wrestling team and the women's volleyball team. The largest "free-floating" hardwood floor in the United States at the time it was built, it features basketball, volleyball and badminton courts circled by a 200-meter track and seating for 6,100 spectators following renovations during the summer of 2004.
For basketball, Alumni Arena ranks as the second-largest on-campus facility in the state of New York, behind only Syracuse's Carrier Dome. For volleyball matches, a specially designed sport-court from the 1993 World University Games is utilized.
The building includes three levels of offices, locker rooms, equipment and training-therapy rooms, seminar rooms and racquetball courts. The Phase II Building on the north side of Alumni Arena has an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a separate diving well, a triple gymnasium and dance studio.
Other areas are a wrestling practice room, two weight-training rooms (a state-of-the-art fitness center and a varsity weight room), additional racquetball and squash courts, an erg room, and an aerobics room.
The playing fields complex is located behind Alumni Arena and features lighted soccer fields, field hockey, softball and several multi-purpose fields, 10 tennis courts, two basketball courts, two handball courts and an archery range.

Quarterback Joe Flacco is getting the credit that he deserves for leading the Ravens throughout the playoffs and then to a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. It will be interesting if Ravens coach John Harbaugh gets his.
Aside from a curious fake field goal try on 4th-and-9 in the second quarter, Harbaugh had a near perfect week. From the moment he arrived in New Orleans, he did and said all the right things and set the tone for his team. He was relaxed, patient and accommodating, establishing a far different presence than his brother. He wore sharp suits to news conferences, projecting a business-like attitude, but he also smiled and joked around, sending a message that the moment wasn't too big for his team. He encouraged his players to have fun with the experience and be themselves and the Ravens were clearly the looser team all week, yet they mostly managed to avoid saying anything that would have brought on controversy or distraction.
John Harbaugh trusted that his team would be focused and ready to play at game time and indeed the Ravems were as they burst out to a 21-6 halftime lead. His decision to have punter Sam Koch take the safety late in the fourth quarter was a sound call. And when it was over, he handled the situation with his younger brother with compassion and class. I know there are plenty of people out there who feel that Harbaugh has been significantly underappreciated as a coach. I'd imagine that this past week will change that.
There were so many big plays in the Super Bowl that some are bound to become afterthoughts but I really think not enough is being made of linebacker Dannell Ellerbe's speed and hustle to chase down Frank Gore and push him out of bounds following his 33-yard run late in the fourth quarter. If Ellerbe didn't take the right angle and make the play, Gore would have gotten in the end zone and there would have been no fourth-down. The game statistics officially listed Ed Reed with the tackle but to me, it didn't appear that the safety had gotten Gore out of bounds. Ellerbe clearly did.
Speaking of Ellerbe, I'd have to think that re-signing him would be the Ravens' No. 2 offseason priority behind reaching a long-term deal with Flacco. Like he has been for much of the season, Ellerbe was the Ravens' best defensive player Sunday. He made a team-high nine tackles and it was his blitz up the middle on Colin Kaepernick that forced an errant throw out of the end zone on San Francisco's final play from scrimmage. The Ravens aren't in great shape with the salary cap, and if they only have the flexibility to sign one of the three following free agents – Ellerbe, linebacker Paul Kruger, cornerback Cary Williams – I would think that Ellerbe would have to be that guy. They have a little depth at cornerback and outside linebacker, but that's a weak point with the middle linebacker group.
Because the Ravens promise to be right up against the salary cap and need to get a deal done with Flacco, there has been talk that the team will release veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who is due to make more than $7 million next year. Count me among the people who think that would be a terrible idea. As you saw in the playoffs, Boldin remains the receiver Flacco trusts the most, especially in the clutch. His toughness and bravado give the offense its swagger. If one of the Ravens' young receivers behind Torrey Smith, like a Tandon Doss or a LaQuan Williams or a Tommy Streeter had emerged this year, I would understand that move a little bit more. But I just don't think the Ravens could do that right now, especially with Boldin coming off a great postseason. Perhaps, the best scenario would be negotiating a contract extension with him that would lower his cap number for 2013-14.
No Raven enjoyed himself more during Super Bowl week and then afterward in celebrating the victory than veteran safety Ed Reed. For all the talk about sending Ray Lewis out as a winner, I'll guarantee you that helping Reed get his first Super Bowl, in his native Louisiana nonetheless, was every bit as important to the Ravens players. He's beloved in the locker room, and seeing the unbridled joy that Reed showed was one of the highlights of the week.
With the Ravens lead down to 31-29 and just over seven minutes to go, they had 3rd-and-1 from their own 45. The 49ers stacked the box expecting a run from Ray Rice. Instead, Flacco called an audible and gave Boldin an opportunity to make a play, which he did with a 15-yard reception. It was a gutsy decision, and I'm not sure it's one that Flacco had the confidence to make earlier in the season.
Rookie guard-tackle Kelechi Osemele completed an impressive first season by getting the best of San Francisco's standout defensive tackle Justin Smith, who had three tackles and no sacks or quarterback hits. Smith was playing through a torn triceps, but that shouldn't take anything away from Osemele's effort on the biggest stage. He looks like a nice building block on the offensive line going forward.
Cary Williams turned in a really good season and he was one of the team's unsung heroes. The competitiveness and chip that he has on his shoulder is one of the reasons that he's such an effective player. But Williams lets his temper get the best of him on occasion, and he almost cost his team in a big way Sunday. Following Reed's second-quarter interception, Williams got into it with several 49ers and after emerging from the scrum, he shoved a game official. Williams clearly didn't know who he was shoving, but that doesn't matter. The Ravens were extremely fortunate that he wasn't ejected.

Don't MBA it4 min read . Updated: 09 Nov 2012, 09:14 PM IST
India may be one of the fastest growing economies, but it is still one of the hardest places in the world to do business in
India may be one of the fastest growing economies, but it is still one of the hardest places in the world to do business in
I shamelessly used it in my interview. And so did, I am sure, the vast majority of people who have interviewed with business school admission panels. Many of us, I suppose, even parrot out the same statements a year or two later when we appear for our final placements:
"I want to work for a few years, get a sense of how this industry works, and then become an entrepreneur when I have the experience and seed capital in place. Also I can price options in my head using Vedic Mathematics."
Thing is, in my experience few people really mean this. And hardly anybody ever follows this up.
One reason for parroting out this canard over and over again is the embarrassment of admitting the truth: that most MBA aspirants only really want lucrative jobs. Most of us don't want to change the world, unleash entrepreneurial vigour, be all that we can be, or achieve Maslow-ian levels of self-actualization.
We just want a three-bedroom apartment—I've included one for the parents—somewhere near the centre of a major metropolitan city, one imported trophy car, one local diesel car and a reasonably photogenic family.
But somehow this is anathema in interviews. So everyone lies about wanting to become an entrepreneur.
As for the slim minority that actually mean it, the comforting, predictable mediocrity of salaried employment quickly muffles all entrepreneurial impulses.
Which is just as well. Because I am increasingly beginning to realize that an MBA from a top-flight Indian business school is the worst possible foundation for an aspiring entrepreneur.
I graduated from a good Indian business school eight years ago. Our graduating class had a strength of approximately 300 people. Of which, estimating optimistically, a dozen or so may have dabbled in any kind of entrepreneurial activity.
Per se this ratio doesn't surprise me. India may be one of the fastest growing economies in the world with plenty of low-hanging entrepreneurial fruit. But it is still one of the hardest places in the world to do business in. In the International Finance Corporation's latest Ease of Doing Business index, India's ranked 132. We ranked below entrepreneurial hotspots such as Ghana and Bangladesh.
But even when a young Indian MBA gets past all these obstacles—the lure of a job, and the agonies of our business environment—he has to deal with perhaps his greatest hurdle: his MBA education.
By virtue of the fact that I work for a business newspaper, I often get a chance to talk to ambitious young MBAs eager to work on start-ups. Many of them have interesting ideas that they have nurtured for years.
But then they begin to tell me what they're working on next: almost always this is business modelling and cash flow analysis. I have nothing against these dark arts. But when I see an aspiring entrepreneur hunched over a laptop at a Costa Coffee massaging a spreadsheet I want to hit him over the head with a biscotti.
For instance, I once met someone who wanted to do something in the area of sports facilities for children. His laptop was full of magnificent spreadsheets that enumerated the number of children in Delhi, the number of playgrounds, the minutes per day the average middle-class Delhi child played and so on. He even had a detailed mock-up of the online sporting social network he would use to supplement his real world sporting efforts. (I am being deliberately vague here.)
Very good, I said. So how many parents, children or teachers have you spoken to? How many of them feel they need more time or place for physical activity?
He hadn't spoken to even one. But he had spent several months modelling cash flows. Because, he said, the first thing he needed was venture capital.
The next breed of MBA entrepreneur I meet is the one who has an idea that has proven to be a bad one, but will simply refuse to accept failure. The loss of face, it seems, is too great to bear. And then there is that terrible thing: a bruised sense of entitlement. I came 8th in my class! How can I goof up business strategy!
And then, finally, there is the entrepreneur who has accepted failure, but has then learnt all the wrong lessons. This is the most unfortunate group. Because they are the most educated. Most entrepreneurship is, after all, failure.
The problem, I think, is the manner in which top-flight business school courses are structured. I can't help wondering if they produce graduates armed with one primary skill: problem modelling and solving.
And when the only tool you have is a spreadsheet, every problem is a profit and loss statement. Work the numbers hard enough, it seems, and suddenly an Infosys or Google will pop out.
Instead, why don't business school simply have courses on "Failed Entrepreneurship in India" with lectures by failed entrepreneurs? (Please, no academics.)
Or whatever else it will take.
Because right now few other countries in the world offers the combination of cheap education and large economic opportunity that India does. It will be a pity if our finest graduates let it pass.

Mojo, a 2-year-old Brussels Griffon, is the center of attention at one North Texas skydiving center.
"When there are people out here, they're just like 'you're taking a dog on a skydive?'" said Mary Todd Coker, drop zone director for Dallas Skydive Center. "Ya, watch him he loves it, he loves it."
Mojo and his owner Wayne Guerin made their first jump together a month ago.
The latest news from around North Texas.
"I was instructed that if anything happened to him during the jump for me not to bother to land," said Guerin.
Mojo is Guerin's wife's pride and joy, but Guerin has a soft spot for the pup as well. The couple says they would never put Mojo in danger.
"We talked to vets, we talked to animal care people and they gave him a clean bill of health and said he should be fine," said Guerin. "We watched for the signs of him being scared of it."
Mojo is equipped with all the tools he needs including a custom harness and doggie googles.
Sunday's skydive brought the pup 11,500 feet above the Earth's surface and he withstood speeds of 120 miles per hour before the chute was deployed, before Mojo and Guerin glided gracefully to the ground.
"Oh he did great, he absolutely, he almost fell asleep on the way up; he was rock steady in free fall," Guerin said.
Guerin has skydived since the 70s when he served in the military.
He says Mojo loved to stick his head out the car window but would bring it in at high speeds. The family ordered a pair of doggie goggles and Mojo kept his head out of the car window at speeds around 70 miles per hour.
"I didn't want to drive any faster than that and I figured if we're going to go any faster than that we're going to go skydive," said Guerin.
Mojo seems to enjoy the time in the air.
"He swims, he basically swims like a little fish," Guerin said. "He looks around a lot and once we get under canopy he just relaxes and crosses his paws and sight sees the whole way down."
After his second skydive with Mojo, Guerin isn't counting out a chance to break the record for dog skydives, which he says stands at more than 70. However, breaking a record isn't a priority.
"He's only 2-years-old now so I'm doing the math and I'm thinking it's not out of the realm of possibility," Guerin said. "I don't know about chasing records, because if he ever stops liking it, he's done jumping."

The Bolivian River Dolphin: Conservation Ambassador of the Amazon
- Date: April 25, 2008
The Departmental Government of Beni (Bolivia) recently declared the Bolivian river dolphin, Inia boliviensis, as a Natural Heritage. This designation highlights the value placed on the conservation of this species and the freshwater ecosystems in the Beni province of northeastern Bolivia where it lives. The government committed to continuing its protection of this emblematic cetacean and pledged to strengthen measures to conserve the dolphin and its habitats.
This declaration is one more result of the first-ever South American river dolphin census led by WWF, Fundación Omacha and partners. Over 15 months from 2006 to 2007, scientists navigated over 2,000 miles between the Amazon and Orinoco rivers and their tributaries, surveying 13 rivers within five countries – Venezuela Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia – and counting more than 3,000 river dolphins.
The Bolivian river dolphin, known locally as the bufeo, was acknowledged by the scientific community as a new endemic species for Bolivia and is considered an important indicator of the quality of the freshwater ecosystems it inhabits. Scientific studies of the dolphin help measure and evaluate threats to these freshwater systems, including pollution from hydrocarbons and mercury and the impact of infrastructure projects such as dams and waterways.
WWF and local conservation organizations are using the survey results to implement conservation measures for this species. Future plans include a detailed evaluation of its distribution and abundance, the implementation of management and sustainable use strategies at local and regional levels, and the promotion of sustainable livelihoods.
"River dolphins are seriously threatened and in danger of extinction in other continents, such as Asia. Nonetheless, South America, and particularly Bolivia, still have river dolphin populations in relatively good conservation status", remarked Fernando Trujillo, scientific director of Fundación Omacha, and leader of the South American river dolphin census. "We still have time to implement necessary measures to prevent South American river dolphins following the same fate as the Asian species. For example, we urgently need to know the potential impact of the proposed hydroelectric dams in the Madeira River on the Bolivian river dolphin populations."
WWF has been at the forefront of protecting the Amazon for more than 40 years. Our approach has succeeded because we engage partners at all levels, such as Fundación Omacha, and the state and local governments of Boliva. Together, we identify mutual solutions to achieve our greatest successes.

The question every organization needs to ask itself, then, is what value they could sell their "reusable code�? for - what, realistically, would competitors and new entrants in the field offer for it? The answer, in almost every case, is $0, and they wouldn't want it even at that price. There is extraordinarily little code theft in this industry (even though we're in the era of burnable DVDs and USB keys) because most code - above and beyond the industry-wide frameworks and libraries - has no value at all outside of a specific project with a specific group of developers. Trying to use it for other projects is often worse than starting with nothing at all.The point brought up by the blog entry:
Since this customer was a big fish, I was sent to complete the integration at the customer's premises. I arrived on a Monday morning and was shown to my cube where the hardware I needed was already assembled. I sat down and fired up Vim to start looking at their code and was INSTANTANEOUSLY BLINDED by the reeking bile that was pouring across my monitor. Even if I or my company were interested in marketing a product that did the same thing as the customers product, the last thing we would ever do is steal this code. Incorporating their code into our product would have meant incorporting all their bugs into our product, and from the look of it there were probably a couple for every hundred lines. Of course, the code was not worthless to the customer- it was in a successful product that was making them money. As Dennis says, it was just closely tied to "a specific project with a specific group of developers�?.

|Assistant Professor of Economics Evelyn Wamboye.
DuBOIS – The United Nations has taken notice of the work of Penn State DuBois' own Assistant Professor of Economics Evelyn Wamboye. Officials in the UN's Committee for Development Policy, who work to improve the lives of people living in undeveloped countries, have asked Wamboye to contribute her expertise to their efforts.
Wamboye will serve as an economic expert on the UN's web-based Support Measure Portal for Least Developed Countries, where she'll offer insight on the economic issues these countries face and participate in discussions with other experts from around the world on how these issues can be resolved.
UN administrators happened to find a research paper online that was written by Wamboye and a colleague that addressed topics such as foreign aid to underprivileged countries. They were so impressed with her vision concerning these topics, that those UN officials reached out to Wamboye and asked her to contribute that vision to their mission.
"It is quite a great professional thrill and honor to be asked to contribute my expertise to such a global entity," said Wamboye. "It accentuates my pride of being affiliated with a great institution such as Penn State, and the continued support I have received towards my scholarship of research."
Originally from Kenya, Wamboye received her undergraduate degree from the University of Nairobi in Kenya and her master's degree from Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois. Wamboye earned her Ph.D. in economics at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, specializing in international economics with research interests in international trade, outsourcing, economic development and labor economics.
Wamboye's research focuses on issues related to foreign aid, foreign debt and various aspects of globalization, and their impact on economic growth and development of least developed and developing countries in general.
With the UN's Committee for Development Policy's mission so closely aligned with her own work and interests, Wamboye quipped, "Since the world is indeed flat, I am so glad that my expertise will be shared and have an impact, especially in the developing countries."
