Natalie McDonald (born c. 1983) was a witch that attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was Sorted into Gryffindor house in 1994, which Nearly-Headless Nick applauded.[2]
Behind the scenes
- In real life, Natalie McDonald was a young Canadian fan of the novels with a terminal illness, leukaemia. A friend of her mother's wrote to J. K. Rowling to ask her to write to Natalie. J.K. Rowling did not receive the letter until after a holiday, and though she admits to fearing it was "too late", wrote back, telling Natalie what happens to each of the main characters, only to find out from Natalie's mother that she had passed away. The two women began a friendship, and Natalie was thus added to the books (into Gryffindor, the house of bravery), as a tribute. Her mother kept the contents of the letter secret until her other two children finished reading The Deathly Hallows.[3]
- This tribute can be found on page 180 of the American paperback version of Goblet of Fire, with Nearly Headless Nick applauding as she sits at the Gryffindor table. In the British edition, the tribute is located on page 152.

05 December 2012 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau
Singapore: The Australian Academy of Science (AAS) and Indian National Academy of Science (INAS) renewed their commitment to work more closely together. Professor Suzanne Cory, president, AAS, and Professor Krishan Lal, president, INAS, signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) during a short ceremony at the AAS's Shine Dome in Canberra, Australia.
"Now more than ever, science and innovation are vital to our countries' economic, environmental and health security," Professor Cory said. "In this Asian century, collaboration with near neighbours are important if we are to ensure we remain at the forefront of knowledge creation and advancements in research and innovation. India is a key partner for Australia's scientific community and vice versa. We look forward to working together for many years to come."
"The academy and the Indian National Academy of Science first signed an agreement in 1986, forging new relationships and enabling new collaborations and improved information exchange between scientists between the two nations. This new MoU better reflects the nature of the joint activities that we already undertake and provides a platform for more bilateral collaboration in research," Professor Cory said.
The MoU allows for joint workshops to identify where there are opportunities to improve the level of cooperation in areas of mutual interest and priority and visiting fellowships to support visits of early and mid-career researchers, as well as more senior scientists, to develop collaborative relationships between Australian and Indian researchers and to conduct joint research projects.
The Australia-India Fellowships are supported by the Australia-India Strategic Research Fund, jointly managed by the governments of Australia and India, in collaboration with the two academies.

This was passed on to me this morning from reader Ruben Quezada. He points out it came from a soldier named Issac who is serving in Iraq:
I was just watching the news, and I caught part of a report on Michael Jackson . As we all know, Jackson died the other day. He was an entertainer who performed for decades. He made millions, he spent millions, and he did a lot of things that make him a villain to many people. I understand that his death would affect a lot of people, and I respect those people who mourn his death, but that isn't the point of my rant.
Why is it that when ONE man dies, the whole of America loses their minds with grief. When a man dies whose only contribution to the country was to ENTERTAIN people, the American people find the need to flock to a memorial in Hollywood , and even Congress sees the need to hold a "moment of silence" for his passing?
Am I missing something here? ONE man dies, and all of a sudden he's a freaking martyr because he entertained us for a few decades?
What about all those SOLDIERS who have died to give us freedom? All those Soldiers who, knowing that they would be asked to fight in a war, still raised their hands and swore to defend the Constitution and the United States of America .
Where is there moment of silence? Where are the people flocking to their graves or memorials and mourning over them because they made the ultimate sacrifice? Why is it when a Soldier dies, there are more people saying "good ridence," and "Thank God for IEDs?"
When did this country become so calloused to the sacrifice of GOOD MEN and WOMEN, that they can arbitrarily blow off their deaths, and instead, throw themselves into mourning for a "Pop Icon?"
I think that if they are going to hold a moment of silence IN CONGRESS for Michael Jackson, they need to hold a moment of silence for every service member killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They need to PUBLICLY recognize every life that has been lost so that the American people can live their callous little lives in the luxury and freedom that WE, those that are living and those that have gone on, have provided for them.
But, wait, that would take too much time, because there have been so many willing to make that sacrifice. After all, we will never make millions of dollars. We will never star in movies, or write hit songs that the world will listen too. We only shed our blood, sweat and tears so that people can enjoy what they have.
Sorry if I have offended, but I needed to say it. Feel free to pass this along if you want.
Remember these five words the next time you think of someone who is serving in the military; "So that others may live…"
– Isaac

by Josh Wirtanen
The Lord of the Rings: Guardians of Middle-earth has a unique obstacle to overcome in that it needs to sell the MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) genre to console gamers. While MOBAs are incredibly popular with the PC crowd right now (just look at the success of games like League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, and the upcoming Dota 2 as examples), we console gamers tend to be a simpler bunch. We generally prefer to hop online for a ten-minute match of Black Ops II to tinkering around with some strategically time-consuming fare.
But Monolith decided to take a risk, a risk that I can see being justified in boardroom meetings by using the ever-popular Lord of the Rings IP as a major selling point and even tying Guardians of Middle-earth to the release of the first Hobbit film. But can the most popular of fantasy franchises convince Joe Console-Gamer to try his hand at the MOBA genre?
Judging by the amount of people playing Guardians of Middle-earth on PSN during its first week, the answer to that question is starting to look like a big fat no. You see, the game is set up to be played with two teams of five squaring off against one another. However, I found it incredibly rare to wind up in a match with more than one or two other people, more often than not facing off against a full team of A.I. opponents in what was supposed to be an online five-versus-five match. I did manage to get into a match with nine human players once, but the lag was unbearable. (You can always choose the Elite Battlegrounds mode, which won't allow a game to start until there are ten human players present and accounted for, though the wait times in these matches are quite a bit longer than in your standard Battlegrounds matches.)
Also, when you actually do find human opponents, it's all too common to see them drop out before the match is over. The way Guardians of Middle-earth accounts for missing players is weird too: It will remove an A.I. player from the opposite side of whoever just dropped out. A lot of my matches were whittled down to three-versus-three for this reason. I'm not sure why the game doesn't just bring in an A.I. opponent to replace the human player who left.
Either way, the game's greatest hurdle is going to be maintaining a healthy player base. If a community doesn't build around Guardians of Middle-earth, the game simply won't be all that entertaining. MOBAs, after all, are competitive games; they're not much fun against A.I. opponents.
I have a few other issues to mention, including some frame rate frustrations (even in matches where I was playing with nine A.I. players) and some weird audio choices (Gandalf can sound strangely like a bad Sean Connery impersonation at times.)
All of this is unfortunate, because Guardians of Middle-earth delivers a legitimate MOBA experience to consoles in some pretty brilliant ways. Now, I know most PC gamers will scoff at the notion of bringing the genre to consoles in the first place, but the controls in Guardians are truly impressive.
Instead of clicking with a mouse button, movement is handled with the left control stick, and you can aim with the right. Your face buttons handle your special attacks, and your shoulder buttons handle pretty much everything else. (With the D-pad activating whichever potions you have equipped.) It's a marvelous implementation of a control style that many would have initially called impossible on a twin-stick console controller.
There is an insanely complex loadout menu at play too, and you'll unlock pieces of your loadouts by earning money in games. See, you have seven slots, which you fill with relics (which are better thought of as belts) and gems. Each piece of your "belt" will have a set amount of gems, and you won't get any bonus from that section unless its gem slots are completely filled. And gems grant stat bonuses too.
All in all, the loadouts make equipping your character a fairly complex minigame in itself. However, they can also make this kind of a grind, as you'll be constantly spending your currency, which you only earn by completing matches, on upgrading these things to ensure that you have the best loadout possible. Thankfully, this is actually quite addictive, and I found myself pouring over stats for far longer than I typically have patience for. (I am, after all, primarily a console gamer.)
Once you get your loadout figured out, you can face off against your opponents in battlefields made up of either one lane or three. As MOBA fans already know, lanes are basically paths between your base and your opponents'. So a single-lane battlefield will have you basically march in a straight line to meet your foe, while three-lane battlefields will allow for much more complex strategies.

The approach of Father's Day is heralded by numerous stories, reports and retellings regarding great advice we've received from dear ol' Dad.
Whether it's our own father, a stepdad or a fatherly figure, we often turn to him for words of wisdom at important moments in our lives. And so do characters in some of our favorite films.
Whether facing a first heartbreak, such as Samantha Banks (Molly Ringwald) in "Sixteen Candles," deciding the right approach to infant care in "3 Men and a Baby," or choosing sleeping arrangements when making a first overnight visit to "Meet the Parents," what the man of the house has to say should more often than not be heeded.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Usually enlightening, occasionally esoteric and frequently hysterical, movie dads have been imparting wisdom since the first silent-era camera rolled.
Here, a few choice words from big screen dads we've come to love:
Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) in "To Kill a Mockingbird": "If you just learn a single trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."
Christopher Gardner (Will Smith) in "The Pursuit of Happiness": "You got a dream . . . You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period."
Jim Baker (Paul Dooley) in "Sixteen Candles": "That's why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they'd call them something else."
Mufasa (voice of James Earl Jones) in "The Lion King": "I'm only brave when I have to be. Simba, being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble."
George Banks (Steve Martin) in "Father of the Bride": "Drive carefully. And don't forget to fasten your condom."
Mac MacGuff (J.K. Simmons) in "Juno": "Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."
Peter Mitchell (Tom Selleck) in "3 Men and a Baby": "All we have to do is feed it, it'll shut up."
Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) in "The Godfather": "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."
Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) in "Meet the Parents": "I understand you may have had sexual relations with my daughter before, but under our roof, it's my way or the Long Island Expressway."
Tom Baker (Steve Martin) in "Cheaper By the Dozen" (2005): "Every Dad is entitled to one hideous shirt and one horrible sweater. It's part of the Dad code."
Honorable mention:
Sure, "The Simpsons" are known more for their long-running television series (25 years and counting!), but everyone's favorite family from Springfield did have one big screen adventure in 2007.
So here's to dad on Father's Day, even if he's yellow-hued and goes by the name of Homer.
Homer Simpson (voice of Dan Castellaneta) in "The Simpsons": "Because sometimes the only way you can feel good about yourself is by making someone else look bad. And I'm tired of making other people feel good about themselves!"

Things reservation holders would like from Tesla.
All I want is to be notified a few weeks before delivery so I can have all my financial bits in order. From what I have been reading they practically show up at your door with the car in some cases and go, "SURPRISE!"
@dstiavnicky: While I think we would all like to see the auto-populated world map, I don't think we'll ever get that. It gives too much information away to competitors. Plus for small towns, there may be a privacy issue as well.
I'd rather they concentrated on building cars and delivering them, but then, I AM a shareholder :P
An interactive map of the factory and its various subsections with little res. # flags zipping around showing you where various vehicles are along the line would be pretty sweet.
Try Volkerize.com to search these public forums.
You will find that some of the items you mention have threads already. Some of the threads may have been buried due to the latest flurry of activity here.
There are some hidden threads may be accessed only by reservation holders. Unfortunately those are not searchable via Volkerize.com. They tend hold information that goes into greater detail than the public forums and some of the threads include coordinated prioritization requests from the customers. Reservation holders must contact Tesla and request access to the hidden threads.

Nokia's brave Comes with Music service, which allowed you unlimited downloads for the price of the handset for a year, has had the DRM cracked just months after release.
Tunebite software will strip away the DRM that Nokia has clung to so desperately as it attempted to try a new move in offering tunes to the mobile public.
The software is available for download for just €20 (£17.50), and works by playing the songs at hi-speed, and re-recording the song without the pesky DRM.
iTunes' system
The site claims it's a legal way to circumvent copy protection, essentially working in the same way as burning the tracks to a CD then copying them back onto the PC.
But Nokia's CwM service won't allow burning from the unlimited tracks, so although they are yours to keep forever, they have to stay stuck on the device.
Although this will inevitably lead to cries of piracy, the likelihood is that many people will simply use the service to play the music on other devices.
We've contacted Nokia for comment on whether it will be taking measures to prevent the software, but from the outside it seems unlikely anything can be done.

"ARS ANTIQUA AUSTRIA, director: Gunar Letzbor
Ars Antiqua Austria was founded in Linz in 1995 with the aim of introducing audiences to the roots of specifically Austrian baroque music played on period-instruments. The music performed at the imperial court in Vienna at this period shows the strong influence of Italy and later of French forms, while Spanish court ceremonials also shape the character of the works. The typical Austrian sound of the period also betrays the influence of the many Crownlands. The political and social boundaries of Austria in the baroque era were far wider than in the 20th century. Elements of Slav and Hungarian folk music mingle with alpine sounds and can be heard in the art music of the period. The Austrian sound also reflects the temperament and character of the Austrians of that period - a unifying element in the melting-pot of many different cultures: the joie de vivre of the South, Slav melancholy, French formality, Spanish pomp and the Alpine character of the German-speaking regions. This fusion of court- with folk music and a strong element of dance music form the typical Austrian sound.
The core of Ars Antiqua Austria comprises 8 musicians directed by Gunar Letzbor. The ensemble is readily augmented to accommodate a still wider repertoire.. " See website for more information. (ed.)

A New Jersey man is suing Dr. Mehmet Oz after he suffered burns following one of the surgeon turned TV host's sleep remedies.
On Monday Frank Dietl, 76, filed a lawsuit in Manhattan's Supreme Court claiming he got third degree burns on his feet after sleeping with heated rice-filled socks as recommended by Oz in a 2012 show, The New York post reported.
Dietl, who is a diabetic and suffers from neuropathy, said he wasn't aware his feet were burning as he slept because he has "diminished sensation in his feet.''
"What upset me was that Oz should have had a disclaimer for people with neuropathy,'' Dietl said.
Show spokesman Tim Sullivan defended the show by saying that the Dr. Oz cast "[stands] by the content in our program as safe and educational for our viewers.''

Milwaukee archdiocese wants to delay paying legal fees
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee is asking a bankruptcy judge if it can delay payments to attorneys and consultants.
A federal judge ruled Thursday to allow bankruptcy filings by church abuse victims to go forward.
According to the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, the archdiocese doesn't have money to settle the claims after spending $9 million in legal fees.
Archdiocese spokesman Jerry Topczewski said savings, reserves and investment earnings have all been exhausted.
But he wants to be sure that parishioners know exactly how their donations are being spent.
"When they contribute to the Catholic Stewardship Appeal, the diocese relies on those monies to fund its ministries and services and those monies are restricted. They are not used to pay legal fees or lawyers in the bankruptcy," Topczewski said.
The archdiocese would continue to pay its own lawyers to challenge sex abuse claims from its insurance carriers.

A Colorado school district is embroiled in sexy, sexy scandal after a senior girl's picture was barred from the pages of its yearbook on the grounds that it depicted the dress code being violated and was therefore too sexy. She's organized a protest, asserting that she has a right to be sexy in the yearbook. If only schools banned yearbook photos for being too hilarious in 10 years.
The controversy began when Durango High School senior Sydney Spies submitted a yearbook photo that she said expressed her personality. In the photo, she's wearing a yellow skirt and a black bandeau kind of shawl top that exposes her midriff and back. Her personality sounds like it arrhythmically plays the tambourine in a Maroon 5 video, but whatever. It's her legacy.
When the yearbook advisor saw the picture, however, she decided that the picture could not be included in the yearbook on the grounds that it violates school dress code. Durango High requires students cover the entirety of their chests, backs, midriffs, and sides during the school day, you see. Fair enough. Except Sydney says that she was never told that her yearbook photo needed to adhere to school dress code, and that, in fact, there's no policy in place to govern what students can and cannot wear in the picture that will end up smushed up against the pictures of everyone else's senior quotes from The Notebook or Entourage for all of eternity.
Despite Sydney's protests, the yearbook advisor won't budge on her ruling that Sydney Spies is too sexy for the delicate virgin eyes of her classmates. (If they think pictures in the yearbook are too sexy, wait'll they see the stuff kids are posting on the facebook. Bowties will twirl!)
In response, Sydney's organized a protest and is threatening to sue the school on the grounds that they're violating her freedom of expression.
An attorney consulted by the Durango Herald says that even if the school did have a policy in place around the tolerable sexiness level of yearbook photos, Spies would still have a pretty good case; according to Colorado law, "no expression contained in a student publication, whether or not such publication is school-sponsored, shall be subject to prior restraint." The only way the school would have a right to censor her photo would be if they could establish that her over-the-shoulder pout violated obscenity laws.
It's not necessarily the photograph that I would choose to display in my high school yearbook, nor is it a photo I'd encourage my own theoretical future daughter to select, but if this is how Sydney Spies would like to be remembered, then she she should be able to go right on ahead. It's a shame, though, that teens feel as though they should display themselves like sexy consumables at such a young age. Kids, you've got the whole rest of your life to post midriff bearing shots to ModelMayhem, but only a short window where it's acceptable take a truly awkward looking professional photograph wherein you fold your arms thoughtfully over a mirrored surface next to a graduation year knickknack. Think about it.

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer is using the Buckeyes' appearance in the Orange Bowl as a recruiting tool in Florida.
While heading to Miami for an Orange Bowl news conference, Urban Meyer killed two birds with one plane ride.
The Ohio State head coach stopped and did a little recruiting in South Florida before sharing the Orange Bowl dais with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney. The two coaches, whose teams will play in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3, were face to face for the first time since the BCS bowl announcements Sunday night.
The Buckeyes have turned the page.
Some wondered how Meyer and the Buckeyes would get past the disappointment of losing to Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship Game. That loss also knocked the previously No. 2-ranked Buckeyes out of the BCS National Championship.
"I think the minute the Orange Bowl selected Ohio State, the mood changed real fast," Meyer said. "The mood shifts real fast when you're invited to a BCS bowl game and you're coming south to Florida. I assure you, Ohio State's motives have turned. We have a significant challenge. I'll tell you this: Every team in August wakes up and wants to play in a BCS game."
No one in the country has won more BCS bowl games than No. 7-ranked Ohio State during the BCS era.
It is a matchup of two high-powered offenses. Clemson is led by quarterback Tajh Boyd, and does most of its damage through the air. That, alone, represents a huge challenge for OSU's struggling pass defense, which has been a liability all season in big games.
"This is our sixth top-12 matchup in the last 15 ballgames," Swinney said. "(Ohio State) is like all those other ones. They're a very talented team, very well coached and physical. ... It's a balanced football team. They have a quarterback who has been in the trenches. They have skilled guys who can beat you. They're 24-1 (the last two seasons). That's almost unheard of. They very well could be the best team in the country. They're two plays away from sitting on the other coast right now."
Swinney's reference was to the BCS title game in Pasadena. It's a missed trip Meyer would like his team to forget.
The trip south, however, will help with recruiting.
Meyer has been on the road recruiting Florida already.
"(Recruiting) is what I first saw when I saw the Orange Bowl," Meyer said. "The respect I have for the entire state of Florida is great. We have a couple of excellent players for us from Florida (Ryan Shazier and Joey Bosa). We're hitting it real hard down here as we speak."

- Canadian Grand Prix
Ickx inherits comfortable victory to maintain title hopes
With Lotus not competing in the Canadian Grand Prix after Jochen Rindt's death at Monza two weeks previously, Jacky Ickx capitalised on Jackie Stewart's early retirement to win comfortably at the Mont-Tremblant circuit.
It had been reported that Rindt's fatal accident at Monza was caused by a faulty half-shaft on his works Lotus 72. The team decided not to race again until they had re-designed and installed a new half-shaft.
Stewart, driving the new Tyrrell-Ford for the first time, set a blistering pace in practice, beating Ickx's Ferrari to pole position by a tenth of a second. The stewards had given Stewart an hour to choose which car to race, and he decided on the extra speed and better handling of the Tyrrell over the March. He did so in spite of his team warning that "reliability could be the key" to winning on the bumpy Canadian circuit.
Stewart made a great start and swept into a healthy lead over Ickx and Pedro Rodriguez, who had burst through from seventh on the grid to third. The Tyrrell proved to be extremely fast, but, as predicted, not very reliable, and on the 32nd lap suffered a front axle failure, ending any chance Stewart had of catching Rindt in the drivers' championship.
"The car was absolutely fantastic", Stewart said after dropping out. "I never had to drive hard, never had to extend myself or the car, and when I got 15 and 16 seconds in the lead I was easing off." He had set a new lap record in the first ten laps, with an average speed of more than 102 miles per hour.
Stewart's retirement handed Ickx a lead of nearly half a minute over Clay Regazzoni, also in a Ferrari. They duly came home in first and second, moving Ickx to second in the championship, but still 17 points behind Rindt, meaning he had to win the last two races of the season to snatch the title.

Police search turns up knives, nunchucks in toy gunman's van
Rainbow Kilo Rasphoumy, 40, faces assault, resisting arrest charges
A gun, several knives and nunchucks were found in the van of 40-year-old Rainbow Kilo Rasphoumy on Thursday, authorities said.
Springdale police said a loaded .40-caliber semi-automatic handgun was located in the passenger area of Rasphoumy's van, along with a double-headed axe, several knives, handcuffs and nunchucks. A stick similar to a broom handle with a large knife fixed to each end was also found in the van, officers said.
Officers also found three parakeets, three chickens and two ducks.
Rasphoumy was arrested Thursday after a standoff and officer-involved shooting at a Walmart Neighborhood Market.
Police said they received a report about a suspicious person in a van on Robinson Avenue and Butterfield Coach Road. When officers attempted a traffic stop, the van pulled into the parking lot of a neighborhood market on Butterfield Coach Road and Highway 414.
Police said Rasphoumy was cooperative at first, but he ran back to the van and barricaded himself inside.
Police said officers used a Taser after Rasphoumy tried to kick officers. Rasphoumy then pointed what appeared to be a gun toward the officers, prompting one of them to fire shots. The shots hit the van, but did not injure Rasphoumy.
Police said Rasphoumy, who was armed with a black plastic toy gun, faces aggravated assault and resisting arrest charges.

I absolutely love our caricatur! Very pleasing service and nice people. Communication is very friendly and individual. I recommend this service to everyone!
Photolamus was great with making sure we were happy with our finished product. I think we made around 3 changes to ours and even though the original was done great it just needed some tweaking. They were more than helpful and accommodating to make sure we got just what we wanted. I would recommend this company and would order from them again in the future. Thanks so much for you help!
The drawing was accurate and very colorful..... great customer service too! :-)
They did an excellent job for the caricature my fiance and I requested for our wedding coming up this summer. We can't wait to share it with our friends and family!
I am extremely pleased with Photolamus! They were very prompt with communication, accommodating to any edits I asked for (because I changed my mind, not because the original product was bad), and eager to please! I was impressed by their skills, and my coworker loved the caricature I had drawn of her! Can't speak more highly of their service!
Photolamus did a fabulous job on our custom creation caricature for dad's 80th birthday celebration! All the party-goers were amazed. We had one print made as a poster to have all attendees sign. Great customer service through Julie with renditions...just a few and we were good to go. Thanks Photolamus team.

Requiring a gentle touch and the stamina to withstand long hours knee-deep in water, fly-fishing is not for the fainthearted. But instructors are on hand to show beginners the tricks of this historic trade.
Those lucky enough to catch a trout can also enjoy it for dinner that night, after learning the secrets of seafood cooking in a class run by the hotel's chef.
Lobster hunting
Called the "black gold" of the sea, lobsters are some of the most elusive -- and prized -- catches of the ocean.
One of the best places in the world to get up close to these monstrous delicacies is the remote Great Orme coastline in north Wales.

Lobster Safari
offers boat trips beside the towering cliffs, with on-board marine biologist Carl Davies explaining the process behind catching the elusive creatures in huge traps, known as pots.
"During the trip we haul numerous lobster pots so guests can see them up close and have an opportunity to handle the lobsters -- and for that matter a whole host of other marine creatures also caught in the pots," Davies said.
"They can also spot other wildlife, like seabirds, seals, sometimes bottle nosed dolphins and the famous Kashmiri goats that live wild on the Orme."
Finding the real Nem
Along with playing catch and learning to ride a bike, fishing has long been viewed as a defining parent-child bonding experience.
But if the promise of the great outdoors and quality time with the folks isn't enough to lure youngsters outside, perhaps Disney World is.
Along with magical rides and stage shows, the Florida theme park also offers waterways teeming with bass.
Families can cast their rods against the backdrop of Cinderella's Castle, all with the help of angling experts.

During the 1960s, more than 70,000 bass fingerlings were released into the Magic Kingdom's Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon and left to grow and breed undisturbed for almost 20 years.
Today, guests can try their luck catching the adult fish, weighing up to 6.5 kilograms.
Amazon adventure
When it comes to ferocious fish, the South American peacock bass didn't earn the nickname "freshwater bully" for nothing.
With its striking green and gold coloring, aggressive nature, and hefty size, catching the Amazonian fish can often appear as a spectacular wrestling match between man and beast.
But fearless fishermen can try their hand at the action from the comfort of a traditional three-deck river boat, while meandering down Brazil's exotic waterways.
"The peacock bass is undoubtedly the world's most aggressive, hard-fighting freshwater fish," said Steve Townson, director of the
Black Water Explorer
"When a peacock bass slams a topwater lure, it's like a bomb going off."
A real pearler
Nestled in between the windswept mountains of Ireland's west coast, lies the dramatic Killary Harbor -- a breathtaking 16-kilometer fjord, plunging 45-meters deep below the surface.
The piercing blue glacial fjord is also home to one of the largest -- and cleanest -- collections of shellfish in Europe.

330 firearms collected at Nassau gun buyback in Uniondale
More than 300 legal and illegal weapons were taken off the streets Saturday through a Nassau County gun buyback session at a Uniondale church.
The three-hour event at Grace Cathedral International was part of a joint effort by the Nassau County police and the district attorney's office as they combat gun violence and seek to improve neighborhood safety, officials said.
"One gun off the street can help save a life," said Charles Ribando, executive chief of the police investigations bureau, "but with 330 guns, who knows how many lives it could save."
A diverse crowd -- many wearing sunglasses, hoods and baseball caps into the event -- poured into the church after they had transported unloaded guns in their car trunks and placed them in cardboard boxes, shoe boxes or plastic bags, as required. They anonymously exchanged their weapons, mostly illegal, for cash with no questions asked. Rifles were worth $100, handguns $200 and assault rifles $400. Forfeiture funds support the program.
"We pay the most for assault rifles obviously because of the recent crimes involving assault weapons and the new law passed by Governor [Andrew M.] Cuomo," Ribando said.
About 25 officers sorted through mostly handguns, and about 17 assault rifles, among other weapons collected. The guns were put in evidence bags before being carted away."We run the serial numbers and then we destroy them," Ribando said.
The 4-year-old gun buyback program had previously removed more than 2,000 guns from the streets. The buyback program has been effective in decreasing gun-related crime in the county, along with the ShotSpotter and GunStoppers programs, officials said.
Uniondale, Roosevelt and a portion of Freeport have ShotSpotter, a computerized system that locates the sound of gunshots and transmits the information to police.Nassau police have credited the system with helping police catch suspects and more quickly find victims.
"If people are willing to turn guns in, we will accept it," said the church's senior deacon David Sweet, a former military police officer, adding the church lost a member to gun violence last year. "By these methods of collecting guns, it would only help the community save lives and avoid another potential Sandy Hook."

A representative for the bad boy motorcycle mechanic joined his wife in denying a gossip site report alleging the couple made a sex tape, People reported.
The rep also denied in a statement to People Wednesday another Internet report that claimed James created at least a dozen other sexually explicit tapes with other women, films that reportedly featured disturbing Nazi-themed props.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"The claims of sex tapes are untrue and completely fabricated," James' rep told People.
James' denial comes a day after Bullock broke her silence over the month-long cheating scandal to deny she'd participated in making an explicit video.
"There is no sex tape," Bullock said in a statement to People Tuesday.
"There never has been one and there never will be one," the Oscar winner said.
Bullock, who picked up her first Academy Award this year for her turn as a do-gooder football mom in "The Blind Side," had remained mum on her marriage to James since last month, when reports began to surface James had allegedly stepped out on her with some four other women.
Rumors swirled this week that James had a graphic sex tape in his possession that he could use against her in divorce proceedings, but Bullock, and now James, have categorically denied the existence of said tape.
James, 40, the motorcycle man who works as the CEO of West Coast Choppers, allegedly stepped out with four women and had a nearly year-long affair with "Bombshell" Michelle McGee, a tatted-up model who was caught in a leaked picture wearing Nazi garb.
Bullock and James were married in 2005. They share custody of three children from James' previous relationships.

|PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
Release 2 (9.2)
Part Number A96624-01
PL/SQL Language Elements, 36 of 52
A package is a schema object that groups logically related PL/SQL types, items, and subprograms. Packages have two parts: a specification (spec for short) and a body. For more information, see Chapter 9.
This determines whether all the packaged subprograms execute with the privileges of their definer (the default) or invoker, and whether their unqualified references to schema objects are resolved in the schema of the definer or invoker. For more information, see "Invoker Rights Versus Definer Rights".
This publishes a Java method or external C function in the Oracle data dictionary. It publishes the routine by mapping its name, parameter types, and return type to their SQL counterparts. For more information, see Oracle9i Java Stored Procedures Developer's Guide and/or Oracle9i Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals.
This declares a collection (nested table, index-by table, or varray). For the syntax of
collection_declaration, see "Collections".
This defines a collection type using the datatype specifier
TABLE or
This declares a constant. For the syntax of
constant_declaration, see "Constants and Variables".
This defines the underlying implementation of an explicit cursor. For the syntax of
cursor_body, see "Cursors".
This declares the interface to an explicit cursor. For the syntax of
cursor_spec, see "Cursors".
This declares an exception. For the syntax of
exception_declaration, see "Exceptions".
This defines the underlying implementation of a function. For the syntax of
function_body, see "Functions".
This declares the interface to a function. For the syntax of
function_spec, see "Functions".
This declares an object (instance of an object type). For the syntax of
object_declaration, see "Object Types".
This identifies a package stored in the database. For naming conventions, see "Identifiers".
This is pragma
RESTRICT_REFERENCES, which lets you check for violations of "purity" rules. To be callable from SQL statements, a function must obey those rules, which are meant to control side effects. If any SQL statement inside the function body violates a rule, you get an error at run time (when the statement is parsed). For the syntax of the pragma, see "RESTRICT_REFERENCES Pragma".
The pragma asserts that a function does not read and/or write database tables and/or package variables. For more information about the purity rules and pragma
RESTRICT_REFERENCES, see Oracle9i Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals.
This pragma lets you mark a package as serially reusable. You can so mark a package if its state is needed only for the duration of one call to the server (for example, an OCI call to the server or a server-to-server RPC). For more information, see Oracle9i Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals.
This defines the underlying implementation of a procedure. For the syntax of
procedure_body, see "Procedures".
This declares the interface to a procedure. For the syntax of
procedure_spec, see "Procedures".
This declares a user-defined record. For the syntax of
record_declaration, see "Records".
This defines a record type using the datatype specifier
RECORD or the attribute
This qualifier identifies the schema containing the package. If you omit
schema_name, Oracle assumes the package is in your schema.
This declares a variable. For the syntax of
variable_declaration, see "Constants and Variables".
You cannot define packages in a PL/SQL block or subprogram. However, you can use any Oracle tool that supports PL/SQL to create and store packages in an Oracle database. You can issue the
PACKAGE and
BODY statements from an Oracle Precompiler or OCI host program, or interactively from SQL*Plus.
Most packages have a spec and a body. The spec is the interface to your applications; it declares the types, variables, constants, exceptions, cursors, and subprograms available for use. The body fully defines cursors and subprograms, and so implements the spec.
Only subprograms and cursors have an underlying implementation (definition). So, if a spec declares only types, constants, variables, exceptions, and call specs, the package body is unnecessary. However, the body can still be used to initialize items declared in the spec, as the following example shows:
CREATE PACKAGE emp_actions AS ... number_hired INTEGER; END emp_actions; CREATE PACKAGE BODY emp_actions AS BEGIN number_hired := 0; END emp_actions;
You can code and compile a spec without its body. Once the spec has been compiled, stored subprograms that reference the package can be compiled as well. You need not define the package bodies fully until you are ready to complete the application. Furthermore, you can debug, enhance, or replace a package body without changing the interface (package spec) to the package body. So, you need not recompile calling programs.
Cursors and subprograms declared in a package spec must be defined in the package body. Other program items declared in the package spec cannot be redeclared in the package body.
To match subprogram specs and bodies, PL/SQL does a token-by-token comparison of their headers. So, except for white space, the headers must match word for word. Otherwise, PL/SQL raises an exception.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge launch trailer plays down Wii U features
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge sports a number of Wii U exclusive features but this trailer is pretty quiet on the topic, preferring instead to remind us of all the reasons we wanted it on the other consoles (to wit: Ryu is awesome).
What's particularly interesting about Razor's Edge is that it seems to address a number of concerns which led to Ninja Gaiden 3 receiving a less than enthusiastic response on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 earlier this year. These include improved AI, new enemy types, the return of the Karma Counter, an upgrade system, and the ability to chop up your foes.
The Wii U version also packs in all the DLC, a 1080p upgrade, optional touch controls, exclusive new weapons and one additional playable character – Ayane – who can be used in any chapter through Challenge Mode.
Ninja Gaiden 3: razor's Edge arrives on Wii U at launch – November 18 in the US and November 30 in Europe.
Thanks, All Games Beta.

It is an established fact that both men and women lose muscle and experience increased body fat percentages as they age.
Muscle mass makes us look slimmer, better toned and allows us to perform better physically. Weight training helps to retain or even add muscle mass, but this will only happen if enough protein is consumed.
The average woman needs to consume about .5 – 1 gram of protein for each pound of body weight. Men require about 1 – 1.5 grams of protein for each pound of body weight. Lean meats like chicken or turkey breast are excellent sources of protein. For those of you who like smoothies or shakes, adding 25 grams of a protein powder to your shake from a source like whey protein is a good choice. Whey protein has also been found to enhance immune function.
A recent study at a major medical university in the Netherlands researched when was the best time to consume protein that would result in maximum absorption of protein and muscle gain.
Should protein be consumed before exercising or after exercising?
The study fouind that the body absorbs protein more effectively, and adds muscle more effectively, when it is consumed AFTER exercise.
So make those workouts more effective, look and perform better by using this knowledge.
