Seib & Wessel: Questions Ahead of Health-Care Law
WSJ's Louise Radnofsky says the big questions facing the Obama health law include how bumpy the rollout will be, and the impact on health-care costs. Another issue: even after the rollout, millions will remain uninsured.

By Ben Hayward | Spanish Football Writer
Copa Chile, 1986: Manuel Pellegrini, a rugged but accomplished central defender in the twilight of a playing career spent entirely at Universidad de Chile, attempts to head clear after his goalkeeper can only parry a cross against lowly Trasandino. But behind him, seemingly from nowhere, a sprightly teenager climbs higher to head home. Later, the veteran centre-back, beaten by a man almost half his age, reflects that his playing days are over. And so begins a brilliant career in coaching.
The scorer of that life-changing goal was a certain Ivan Zamorano, a striker who went on to grace La Liga and Serie A with Sevilla, Real Madrid and Inter, and formed a legendary partnership with Marcelo Salas for Chile. "If I had known just where he would end up," Pellegrini later admitted, "I wouldn't have retired - I would have carried on for two more years."
After some time out of the game, Pellegrini made his dugout debut in 1988 with Universidad de Chile but stepped down midway through the season to complete his coaching courses. The team were duly relegated for the first time in their history. Significant success came later at Santiago's other university team, Catolica, where Pellegrini had previously graduated as a Civil Engineer. After his playing career, he had envisaged a future in construction, but claimed the Copa Chile and the Copa Iberoamericana in his two-year spell at UC. And when failure to bring the league title brought criticism and ultimately led to his departure, El Ingeniero 'engineered' a move abroad.

Real Madrid
Pellegrini was one of the coaches considered by Barca as a replacement for the departing Dutchman, but the Catalans chose Pep Guardiola instead and El Ingeniero joined Madrid a year later; the Chilean was Jorge Valdano's pick as the Argentine returned to the club alongside Florentino Perez - he would be the man to challenge Guardiola's brilliant Barca, who had won it all in 2008-09. And to do so, he was handed the most expensive squad in the history of the club, with Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso and Karim Benzema bought for over €200 million.
But politics played a part too and others left against Pellegrini's will, with Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben both sold. And humiliation in the Copa del Rey in the shape of a shocking 4-0 defeat at lowly Alcorcon saw the knives out for the Chilean. Marca began a campaign for his sacking and when Madrid failed to get past Lyon in the last 16 of the Champions League, it was all but over.
In La Liga, Pellegrini's Madrid scored 102 goals and secured the best points tally in the club's history, with 96 out of a possible 114 - four more than Jose Mourinho managed in his first season and with Cristiano Ronaldo sidelined for two months, too. But Barca retained the title with 99 and, desperate to avoid losing face following his triumphant return to the club, Perez replaced Pellegrini with the Portuguese coach - even though the Chilean had the support of most fans and the players as well.
So El Ingeniero went just as he had arrived, with dignity and respect. But he later revealed some of his frustrations in an interview with Chilean newspaper El Mercurio. "I didn't have a voice or a vote at Madrid," he said, while also regretting he had been unable to build the side he had wanted. "I can't get anything out of an orchestra if I have the 10 best guitarists but I don't have a pianist or a drummer," he added.
|I can't get anything out of an orchestra if I have the 10 best guitarists but I don't have a pianist or a drummer
- Manuel Pellegrini on his time at Real Madrid
It was a familiar tune at Madrid and, unsurprisingly, the first thing Mourinho insisted would need to be changed on his arrival at the Bernabeu.
Discredited by the press and cruelly axed by Madrid, who waited until the day of Mourinho's arrival to confirm the worst-kept secret in football that summer, Pellegrini decided to rebuild his reputation at Malaga. Investment was in the pipeline but the first job was to save the Andalusian club from relegation. Back at the Bernabeu, he lost 7-0 and before the match Mourinho quipped: "If Real Madrid sack me, I won't train Malaga; I'll go to a big team in England or Italy."
Some 18 months on, however, Pellegrini has turned Malaga into a big team in Spain and beyond. After leading the Andalusians to a fourth-placed finish on the back of significant investment in 2011-12, he has steered the Costa del Sol side through stormy waters following a summer of uncertainty amid debts, player sales and unrest at unpaid wages. Santi Cazorla, their finest footballer, left for Arsenal to raise much-needed funds in August, while striker Salomon Rondon moved to Rubin Kazan.
But still Malaga marvel, sitting just a point off fourth place after 12 rounds of La Liga and in an even healthier position in Europe, proving Pellegrini is equally adept and successful at signing superstars as cutting costs. Indeed, the club's creditable point at San Siro on Matchday 4 (having already beaten AC Milan at home and won their previous two Champions League clashes) saw the Spanish side sail through to the last 16 in their very first crack at the continental competition - qualifying before both Barcelona and Madrid.
Following those achievements, Pellegrini was recently described by former full-back Rodolfo Arruabarrena as the "best coach in the world", a statement backed up by his own sporting director Mario Husillos just last week. And most Malaga fans will surely agree - even if Madrid do not.

Chefs' hats off to everyone involved in the Chili Cook-off event on September 28! The event was a resounding success with over $10,500 raised for the Harvey County United Way Annual Campaign. This was a $1,000 increase over last year.
It's nearly impossible to thank everyone who helped with the event, but worth a shot.
Organizers of the event, Prairie Harvest and Ameriprise Petitjean Whifield and Associates, meet for nine months prior to the event planning every detail. They donate staff time, pay for related expenses, ensuring dollars raised go to Harvey County United Way. Obviously this event would not exist without their tremendous support.
Sixth Street business owners agree to the street closure and tolerate inconvenience for their customers.
City of Newton employees arrange barricades, trash and recycle containers and clean-up after the event. Kaye Electric, Foley Rental and the Newton Chamber of Commerce facilitated electrical connections. Newton Recreation Commission loaned fencing.
Southwest Paper donated bowls. US Foods Service discounted ingredients.
Newton High School and Hutchinson Community College students volunteered thanks to Melinda Rangel, NHS, and Dawn Warrington, Harvey County Volunteers.
Greg Bergman and NHS Drumline provided a crowd-pleasing performance. Midian Shrine Hillbilly Band played classic country and old standards "by ear" ramped up the energy. And Circle 8 Square Dance Club kept the crowd moving.
Newton Kansan, Harvey County NOW and Harvey County Independent ran articles and promoted the event to readers. Alyssa Collier, Newton Convention and Tourism Bureau, extended the market reach through flyers at the State Fair. Allison Heather provided graphic designs.
Agency Judges: Joe Dickinson, Jim Daily, Sandra Fruit. Open Class Judges: Galen Anderson, Mel McAnulty and Jessie Kaye.
Agencies: Big Brothers Big Sisters, CASA, Circles of Hope, Community Playschool, Newton Community Child Care & Infant/Toddler Program, HV DV/SA Task Force, HV RSVP, Health Ministries/HV Health Department/Prairie View, Heart to Heart, Mirror Inc, Newton Meals on Wheels, Newton and Hesston Area Senior Centers, Offender Victims Ministries, Salvation Army/Trinity Heights Respite Care, Sunshine Academy, United Cerebral Palsy.
Open Class: Crust & Crumb, First Baptist Church, Harvey County Sheriff/Suicide Prevention Task Force, League 42, Luigi's, Newton City Commission, Newton Fire/EMS, Newton Kansan, Newton Police Department, Project Search.
Frequently, area businesses and board members sponsored these booths.
And last but not least, thanks to the estimated 1,000 people who attended, whether they like chili or not, bringing energy and a much-needed sense of community.
— Tina Payne, Harvey County United Way

World stocks lag after US data, oil rises on Iraq
LONDON (AP) — World stock markets were sluggish on Thursday after new data showed retail sales grew less than expected in the U.S. in May, while oil prices rose amid escalating violence in Iraq.
Sentiment has been subdued since the World Bank cut its 2014 growth forecast Tuesday, citing a harsh American winter and the tensions in Ukraine. With many stock indexes hitting record highs this week, that prompted investors to become more cautious.
That tone continued Thursday after official U.S. data showed consumer spending rose 0.3 percent last month, short of the 0.4 percent markets had been expecting. Meanwhile, weekly applications for unemployment benefits rose.
In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 rose barely 0.1 percent to close at 6,843.11 while Germany's DAX fell 0.1 percent to 9,938.70. France's CAC 40 ended flat at 4,554.40.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones was 0.3 percent lower at 16,798.25 and the S&P 500 down the same rate at 1,938.54.
The rise in oil prices helped keep stock traders in check, as higher energy prices can increase costs for companies and transportation.
The U.S. benchmark oil contract for July delivery jumped $1.44 to $105.84 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as Al-Qaida-inspired militants threatened to take over Iraq's north after gaining control of Iraq's No. 2 city earlier this week.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225, the regional heavyweight, declined 0.6 percent to 14,973.53. The index has gained 5.5 percent in the past month. South Korea's Kospi lost 0.2 percent to 2,011.65 following its central bank's widely expected decision to leave its policy rate unchanged.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng dipped 0.4 percent and Australia's S&P/ASX shed 0.5 percent. Stocks in mainland China and Indonesia also finished lower.
The New Zealand dollar jumped to $0.8663 from $0.8612 late Wednesday after the country's central bank raised its benchmark lending rate by a quarter point to 3.25 percent as it tries to dampen increases in house prices.
In currencies, the euro rose 0.2 percent to $1.3553 and the dollar fell 0.2 percent to 101.83 yen.

Global Flavors Are Capturing Imaginations And Driving Sales
Authentic spices are the key as even the most mainstream food companies try out bold new ethnic offerings.
"Global, bold, gourmet," is how Campbell Soup Co. describes several new lines of its namesake product. From the Coconut Curry in the new Go! pouches to Jammin' Jerk Chicken with Rice & Beans in the Chunky line to Sweet Potato Tomatillo and Thai Tomato Coconut in the Gourmet Bisques portfolio, authentic flavors from around the world are driving new product development at this and other mainstream food companies.
"Campbell is reframing what soup means with a variety of new choices that tempt the taste buds and fit the lifestyle of the millennial generation and beyond," says Mark Alexander, president of Campbell North America. While stodgy old baby boomers are pretty set in their ways, millennials are just coming into their own as a purchasing powerhouse, and anything that can attract them will serve a company well in the coming decades.
"This is the new face and flavor of Campbell Soup Co.," Alexander said.
Campbell arguably needed a new face. After putting most of its eggs in the low-sodium basket a few years ago, the R&D lab in Camden, N.J., churned out such exciting new products (in early 2006) as chicken noodle with 25 percent less sodium and Healthy Request cream of mushroom with up to 45 percent less sodium than regular varieties. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but sales sagged.
Now, as we climb out of that nasty recession, food processors are looking to take back ground lost to private label by differentiating their higher-priced products. Whether you've been to foreign countries or just wish you were there, flavors from around the globe are capturing imaginations and driving sales.
Just try to find Moroccan-style Chicken with Chickpeas (another Campbell Go! Soup) in a store brand.
It's becoming increasingly important for food processors to find ingredients with both the authenticity to satisfy immigrants coming into the U.S. and the excitement to tempt the worldly and sophisticated American palate. Often those are fresh herbs, spices and botanicals or otherwise fragile ingredients, so a trusted source is a great find.
Flavors can be developed
While the influx of Hispanics into the U.S. may be slowing (see our September story, The New American Majority), their culinary culture remains the biggest current ethnic influence. They account for 16.7 percent of our population, and more American vacationers have tasted Mexico and Spanish-speaking parts of the Caribbean than have been to Thailand.
"The growth of the Hispanic population in the United States is driving the need for both traditional and innovative Hispanic flavors," says Phil Sprovieri, vice president of sales and marketing at Flavorchem Corp., Downers Grove, Ill. "These flavors have not been readily available on an industrial scale -- not only in the U.S., but throughout the Americas."
"Roadside vendors offering beverages such as horchata or those flavored with tamarindo (tamarind) and limosa (lime) have resulted in development of new flavors for Flavorchem," he says. "The company has also spotted flavors such as guava, mango, pina colada and chocolate with cinnamon in a wide range of dairy products at shopping centers. The firsthand accounts documented by [our] representatives are coupled with market research – often supported by Mintel -- to determine which Hispanic flavors will be developed."

The worst tires I've EVER had. Less than 20,000 and will be replacing all 4 tires because the tread is gone. They don't handle well on wet or snowy roads. Though if you contact the dealer they're all excuses and won't warranty them. According to them their expected mileage is 20,000-25,000. Pretty sad! Very poor quality brand.

Great tires when they were new. very soft rubber, so they performed great in all weather. Within a year they became noisy and worn, no longer performing they way they did when new. I stretched them out for a second year and need to get a new set of tires at 47K, less than 30,000 miles. These tires have a treadwear rating of 520, they should last a lot longer than two years 30,000 miles. I'll likely buy a new set of Michelins.

For the first couple weeks of using the tire it felt like I was driving on a cloud. What really surprised me is how well they handle in the snow. I loved drifting around the city of pittsburgh all last winter in my stage 2 q5. I now have about 30k miles on them and they are starting to make a lot of noise and am noticing small traction issues. I'm surprised they lasted this long as I am a very aggressive driver.I plan to get another set of these soon, they are great tires!

Verified by tire & wheel expert
We honor the fitment.
1010TIRES.COM goes through many steps to ensure that all orders we ship will fit your described vehicle.
To the best of our knowledge, the 1010TIRES.COM vehicle, wheel, tire and tire and wheel package selectors are accurate. Due to the possibility of typographical errors, modified vehicles, wear of vehicle, age of vehicle, or other factors, our proprietary selectors may not always be 100% accurate. Our vehicle database is sourced and verified by third party and to the best of our knowledge is accurate and up to date.
Please be aware that if you are installing aftermarket wheels, and/or changing tire size you are customizing your vehicle; therefore, the products you order from 1010TIRES.COM may not fit exactly the same as the factory settings.
If the order is approved for our 100% Fitment Guarantee and the product doesn't fit we will offer you a replacement or a full refund, including shipping charges (*some conditions apply).
You must provide your vehicle information. The selected vehicle information must be accurate and complete. It is the customers' responsibility to provide accurate and complete vehicle information.
The vehicle must be unmodified and has all original factory settings. Please note, older vehicles may no longer have factory parameters and therefore, may not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee.
You are purchasing a full set of tires, wheels or tires and wheels package. Less than a set (3 or less) does not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee
Rims: Rims will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment.
Tires: Will fall within the approved overall tire diameter, load rating, and speed rating (winter tires are approved to have a lower speed rating).
Tire and Wheel Packages: The package will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment
When you place an order, you must select your vehicle information from the drop-down menus presented to you in the search by car areas. Please note, the description of the vehicle may differ from your markings on the car. Always refer to your user manual for a full description of your vehicle. The failure to choose the correct vehicle may affect the selection of the product that fits your vehicle and your claim for fitment guarantee may be rejected. If you feel that your exact vehicle is not listed please use "Notes and Additional Instructions" box to add your vehicle information at the checkout. A 1010TIRES.COM expert will use that information provided for verification.
Driver's Side Door Sticker Example
When upsizing or downsizing tires/wheels always refer to your original equipment tire size. Correct tire and wheel information can usually be found on the inside of the driver's side door on a sticker. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify that this information is correct prior to placing the order in order to qualify for Fitment Guarantee.
If you choose not to provide your vehicle information, or chose to skip Fitment Check, when placing an order our Fitment Guarantee is not applicable.
Once we receive your order our first priority is to check fitment. This is done by our fitment team that employs various methods and manufactures databases to check fitment. We may come to the conclusion that the products you have ordered will not fit your described vehicle. In this case, you will be notified and will be provided with alternative options. If you still feel confident about your original purchase and want to proceed with the order as is, we will ship it to you with a disclaimer to that effect and such order is not covered by our Fitment Guarantee Policy. If you need to return the order we will issue an in-store credit only and it's subject to our Return/refund policy.
Since we don't have your vehicle present to physically qualify it for fitment we rely on our collective experience and expertise, and consult numerous fitment sources to make approve fitment. Due to mechanical wear and tear of a vehicle, tires and/or wheels may not fit as intended. It is impossible to take these factors into account when verifying fitment. Therefore, on rare occasions when a customer claims the product does not fit we reserve the right to refuse such a claim based on our previous experience with the same vehicle and/ or manufacturers fitment data available to the public. In such cases we will request pictures showing the issues with fitment and will assess the claim on a case by case basis. If the claim for a fitment guarantee is denied our Return/refund policy will apply.
The vehicle description chosen or described by the customer is not complete, inaccurate or wrong.
The vehicle is not listed when order is placed.
The vehicle is listed on the manufacturers website as an approved fitment but the customer or the installer claims the product does not fit.
The manufacturer representative has qualified the product as an approved fit for your described vehicle but the customer or the installer claims that the product doesn't fit.
The order was not approved for 100% Fitment Guarantee and the order was shipped with the disclaimer to that effect
The order was approved as a fitment based on the previously filled orders for exact same vehicle and product shipped (we keep such data) but the product didn't fit due to the mechanical wear and tear.
*Please note, you are responsible for a safe keeping and handling of the order that is under our Fitment Guarantee policy. If the order is returned and we determine that the product was damaged, this voids the Fitment Guarantee policy. The refund will then be issued as per our return/refund policy.

Pets, Pets, Pets
As a true Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Darcy was put on earth to show the power of devotion. This darling dog adored everyone with all her heart….a heart too damaged to sustain her beyond a mere 6 years. Last June Darcy succumbed to chronic valvular disease (CVD), the most common canine cardiac ailment, a condition particularly devastating in her breed. Thanks to her owners, Darcy's love lives on in a legacy that may one day benefit all dogs.
The Darcy Fund, created to support research into the causes and cures of CVD, was established by Darcy's owners, Kim and Jerry Thornton of Lake Forest, California, in conjunction with the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Charitable Trust. Kim Campbell Thornton happens to be an award winning author and past editor of Dog Fancy who has written extensively about dog and cat health. The Thorntons chronicled the heartbreak of Darcy's ordeal and expert advice at darcysdaily.blogspot.com.
Though the Darcy Fund is linked to Cavaliers, any discoveries resulting from these grants have the potential to help every breed, perhaps other species as well. A cardiologist at Tufts says that about 11% of all dogs seen by veterinarians have some form of heart disease. Of those dogs, about 75-80% have congestive heart disease (CVD.) The University of Pennsylvania already received funding for projects with Darcy donations.
With mitral valve disease, another name for CVD, the valves do not shut completely due to changes in their structure causing a back flow or leakage. This turbulence creates a murmur. After time, the heart starts to weaken and fail. CVD is prevalent in small and medium-sized breeds that are middle-aged or older, but it is the most common heart condition in all canines. Cavaliers and Dachshunds have the greatest incidence, while Yorkies, Poodles, Papillons, Chihuahuas, Schnauzers and Cockers are prone to develop CVD also.
According to CavalierHealth.org, Cavaliers are the most vulnerable to chronic valve disease. It is a multi-gene condition that affects about half of all Cavaliers by age 5 years old, and nearly all Cavaliers by 10, if they live that long. In these Spaniels, the prevalence of mitral valve disease is 21 times that in the typical canine. The disease manifests itself earlier and accelerates more rapidly in Cavaliers.
With the help of the Darcy Fund, hopefully specific genes will be pinpointed so tests can be developed to identify dogs at risk and eliminate the defect in future generations. Since 1998 responsible Cavalier breeders have followed a strict veterinary protocol to curtail early onset CVD. This includes having dogs certified yearly by cardiologists, not breeding any Cavalier with a murmur until 5 years old, any dog before 2 _ years old, or any dog at all unless both parents were murmur free until 5. Increased breed popularity, sparking the puppy mill tactic of pumping out pups for profit has ignored these caveats, disregarding the welfare of Cavaliers… thus, one more reason not to purchase a purebred from a pet store.
Cavaliers are the ultimate companion dogs, natural stress reducers- once only a luxury of the British aristocracy. Darcy herself was an import from Ireland. She adored people and Kim joked that "it was her friendly Irish nature coming out. She must have licked the Blarney Stone before she was shipped to us." An ambassador of affection, Darcy loved meeting new people and tailored her greetings. She was gentle to kids and the elderly, yet planted more rambunctious kisses on everyone else. She wilted if a stranger chose to ignore her
CVD presents itself in insidious ways. When Darcy was a puppy,
a cardiologist noticed that
she had a soft murmur. By
the time she was 3, the murmur was louder, but
Kim hoped she'd remain
symptom-free. On her 6th birthday annual tests showed that her heart had
greatly enlarged. Medications
began but were hard to
stabilize. Unfortunately, studies show the medicines are not effective until symptoms
appear, and the side effects are such that owners hold off as long as possible.
Genes shaped the wonderful Cavalier temperament, but also weakened their hearts. When Kim describes Darcy, I see my tiny Cavalier mix. These clever characters know how to commandeer laps. They anticipate your couch arrival—be it the remote's click or the coffee's perking. They are most content when snuggled on you or flipped over in your arms. One of saddest parts of CVD was that Darcy was no longer able to rest this way. She had to lie alone on a hard surface to lessen her discomfort and labored breathing.
My holiday wish for my dogs, and yours, would be to "freeze them in time"- keeping them as vibrant as they are now. I know that is impossible. The Darcy Fund, though not magical, may conquer this cardiac crisis so someday all our dogs can enjoy longer, healthier lives. A tax deductible donation to the Darcy Fund- by mail: C.Tennille, Treasurer, ACKCS Charitable Trust, Inc., 14430 Overlook Ridge La, Beaverdam VA 23015 or at: www.akcsccharitabletrust.org - www.ackcsccharitabletrust.org - "in memory or in honor of" a dear dog is a gift of life and love from our hearts sent straight to theirs.
The poster pets at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon are all decked out because they know they have limited chances to attract a home of their own for the holidays. The shelter is closed Fri. and Mon. this week and next. "Fanny", a mature, but perpetually playful Husky mix in Cage 93, is waiting since Sept.

Crusader tennis defeats Johnsonburg Rams 8-1
The Elk County Catholic Crusader tennis squad picked up an 8-1 victory over the Johnsonburg Rams on Wednesday afternoon in matches played at Benzinger and Memorial parks in St. Marys"[It was] a good win for us today," said ECC coach Nick Caggiano. "We were taking nice shots and working on improving on some areas."At first singles, Crusader Ben Wortman defeated Mason Martonik 6-1, 6-0. At second singles, Drew Meyer fell to Johnsonburg's J.P. Allegretto 2-6, 3-6. At third singles, Shane Mancuso picked up a 6-1, 6-0 win for ECC over Shane Bickford. "Ben and Shane looked in fine form once again and are playing solid, consistent tennis," Caggiano said. "Drew had a bit of an off day today. J.P. Allegretto is a tough opponent who will make you play a few more balls. Drew did a good job of putting up a fight in the second set, saving a few match points."At fourth singles ECC's Scott Reichard defeated Nate Fields 6-3, 7-5. At fifth singles Aaron Meier also notched a victory for the Crusaders, downing Tommy Imbrogno 6-0, 6-1. "Scott Reichard and Aaron also had good singles wins for us," Caggiano said. At first doubles, the Crusader duo of Ben Wortman and Shane Mancuso defeated J.P. Allegretto and Mason Martonik 8-4.

At third doubles, Alan Brennan and Brent Polaski recorded an 8-3 win for ECC over Tommy Imbrogno and Mason Walter. At fourth doubles, Crusaders Austin Minard and Brian Nguyen beat Christian Cherry and Jeff Mann 8-2. "We had accurate shot-making and team energy from Ben and Shane at first doubles. Scott Krellner and Alex had some good shots when the moment came for them. At third doubles, Alan and Brent played with strategy to see them to the win. Brian and Austin really came through for us early at fourth," Caggiano said. "We are continuing to practice and work hard to improve every day."

The Archos GamePad doesn't have the flash or the breadth of capabilities seen in NVIDIA's Project SHIELD, but at just $169.99, and available already in the UK with a US launch coming in February, the GamePad could be the answer for Android gamers jonesing for some real controls to use with the increasingly impressive catalog of games in the Play Store.
The controls are very reminiscent of the PlayStation Portable — both a good and a bad thing. They did wisely offer dual analog control sticks, but if you've never handled a PSP, they slide rather than pivot like the control sticks on an XBOX 360 or PlayStation controller. It's still easily superior to on screen controls; however, it doesn't offer anything close to the level of precision you can achieve with a console controller. The rest of the hardware buttons were quite responsive, although they did feel a bit loose. While the GamePad is running stock Android 4.1 and could certainly be used as a tablet, I would rather have seen them push it even farther in the direction of a great gaming controller with a screen.
Unfortunately, the specs are a bit behind; the GamePad is equipped with a dual-core A9 processor at 1.6 GHz, a quad-core MALI 400 GPU and 1 GB of RAM.
The most interesting thing Archos has done with the GamePad is their patented ability to map the physical controls directly to the screen using a drag and drop interface. It's incredibly easy to use and worked perfectly in every game we tried. Archos does have a patent on their implementation of this concept. This strikes me as a a bit unfortunate; it's such a simple and clever way to handle mapping on screen buttons to physical controls.
The GamePad feels like a 1.0 product, and based on our brief time with it, we wouldn't recommend that you run out and buy one. But, it does show some promise. If Archos takes user feedback to heart, the second generation GamePad will be something to keep an eye out for.

After a long enough period of time, and when i get bored of whatever game I'm playing, (Right now it's down time before dead space 3) I go back and re-watch Code Geass. I've seen it start to finish twice now, and plan on it again when i forget most of the non major events. Rosario+vampire I've seen once and tried again but failed at one point, will re-watch soon though. That being said, I've found some really good ones here on CR, i usually watched dubs on other sites, but i found my favorite anime, second only to Code Geass, and that is Sword Art Online, which i will re-watch ASAP, so i need to hurry up and forget already! More definite re-watches would be Angel Beats, Hyōka, Elven Lied (Best theme song ever), and Spice and Wolf . Oh, and few others i plan on watching from ep1 when/if other seasons come out would be Sekirei, Oreimo, BTOOM! (<--These two especially--->), Heavens Lost Property, and Good Luck! Ninomiya-kun.
I have watched Steins;Gate from start to finish 4 times.
1st time was alone.
2nd time was a marathon with a couple friends
3rd time was a marathon with a couple friends
4th time was alone to see how the dub turned out.
I love that series and will watch it many more times.
i actually haven't yet because id rather just keep
watching new anime but i plan on watching
Akira again since I didn't really understand some parts
<---- Hell yeah.. Serial Marathoner representin'

^ yesss that show is so good. Probably one of my favorite shows on CR that I've watched. Overall, just one of my fav series. When i heard season three was coming this year I shed tears of joy.
You sir, are now my friend.
If you're talking about season 3 then heck yea!

And apparently I need to watch it as I have never seen it haha
Chase6565 @ Meh like any show it had its moments I still remember the fight between Ichigo and grimmjaw when Orihime shouts out at Ichigo that she just doesn't want him to be hurt any more.. if you ever feel like it its episode 166 here on CR just love moments like those.
Haha just watched it again myself forgot how much child Nel's voice made me want to put my head into a woodchipper ending still awesome though.
Sounds like a good moment lol I'm gonna check that out. I'll probably finish the series one day, but that Soul Society arc was definitely something special for me. It actually led me to get back into anime after like years of watching none whatsoever.
Not very often, but since I'm buying DVDs I will sooner or later. But so far I've watched Durarara!! 4 or 5 times and Baccano 3 times. Plus FLCL a few times as well.
Only one so far that was black rock shooter but i could definitely go through gintama again.
Heck yeah!!
I've watched:
Naruto 5 times
Bleach 2 times
DragonBall & DBZ 3 times
Very often, usually with friends who I think would like the series. You always sort of get stories better when you revisit them, and I find it's especially fun to watch a dub after watching the subs, or vice versa.
I usually won't rewatch an anime until at least a year after my first watch, though, unless I really loved the show or it's relatively short.
i've only watch angel beats and the melancholy of suzumiya both twice
watched english and then subbed, and i plan to watch them again when i get the dvd.

Wow, is it truly that good? I've never seen any of it, but I'm going to pick up the blu-ray collection soon.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this about 3 or 4 times lol
I've watched Naruto Shippuden about 3 times and another anime I watched more then once was Higurashi no Naku Koro ni which was about 5 times
Any show that I show to my friends I watch multiple times:
Naruto/Naruto Shippuden 2x
Fairy Tail 2x
Sword Art Online 3x
Madoka Magica 2x
Since I make AMVs I rewatch a lot of the episode looking for scenes, so I've rewatched pretty much all of the shows I've seen at least once.
Who the hell do you think I am!?
lol bleach 3 times all 366 episodes......... lolz

Strategic Tech Slideshow: Microsoft Office 2013: 10 Things CIOs Should Know
By Don Reisinger | Posted 08-03-2012
Office 365 Tie-In
One of the first things you'll notice about Office 2013 is that it relies heavily upon Office 365, Microsoft's cloud-based productivity suite. Users will be able to share data in the cloud and collaborate, and pricing will even come by way of a subscription model for those who so choose. It's an interesting concept.
Microsoft recently announced Office 2013, the next generation of its venerable Office suite of productivity tools. It's expected to launch this fall to coincide with the availability of the new Windows 8 operating system, which launches October 26. For CIOs, this fall is going to be an extremely busy time. Not only will you be analyzing Windows 8 to see if it's the right fit for your office, but you'll also need to determine the value of Office 2013. Will it be ready for your company computers the first day it's made available or should you hold off until there's a compelling reason to bring it on? The choice is yours. In order to help you make that choice, however, we've decided to take a look at Office 2013 and highlight some of the key features that will aid you in the decision process. Office 2013 looks to be a fine offering for enterprise customers. But it also has some quirks. Here's what you need to know

Five competitors trekked from Canada, but the award for the farthest distance traveled goes to Randy Beddow, who traveled 2,672 miles from his hometown of Lake Tapps, Washington to Hampton, Georgia.
Thursday was the first day of action for the three-day weekend of competition which included a morning and an afternoon practice session followed by an early evening European qualifying format. The qualifying results from Thursday will determine the starting order for Friday's heat races. Full qualifying results can be viewed below.
Friday's lineup of activities feature two sets of heat races capped off by the Race of Champions, where each individual state champion will compete in a 20-lap shootout for bragging rights.
Points will be accumulated from Thursday's qualifying results and both heat race finishes from Friday to determine the starting order for Saturday's A-, B- and C-Mains.
Friday grandstand admission is $5 and Saturday only $10 with kids seven and under admitted free both days. Fans purchasing a Saturday ticket can receive free admittance on Friday.

>> Justine Burlock, 17, was diagnosed with cancer last year. After months of treatment, the cancer is in remission, although she still must undergo chemotherapy twice a month at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. If she remains cancer-free, her treatment could end next summer. Justine is a junior at Woodstock Academy and lives with her mother, Noemi Hernandez, in Brooklyn, Conn.
In May of 2007 I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
When we heard the word "leukemia," we really didn't know what it meant, and then Dr. [Eileen] Gillan said it was a type of cancer. As soon as we heard the word "cancer," me and my mom just looked at each other and we just started crying because we thought it was something that was going to kill me. But then [the doctor] said it was very curable since it was cancer in the blood. So we felt better, and we looked at each other and we knew that we could do this.
Chemotherapy was probably the hardest thing I ever had to go through. At first it made me so nauseous — I felt horrible all the time.
They told me that, you know, that it's going to take two to three years of this treatment to make sure that it's completely gone. After hearing that, I felt like giving up because I couldn't stand the way this chemo made me feel — it was just horrible. And then they told me that I'd have to go through spinal taps every once in a while to see if any cancer cells were going up through my spine to my brain.
When I was going through all of this stuff, it was hard to think about anything else but "Oh my God, I have cancer, oh my God, I have cancer!"
But after a while, when I started drawing a couple of pictures, and I started drawing more and more and more, I found out that it helped me so much. ... I wrote a lot of poetry and just a lot of stuff to keep my mind off of it, even though the poetry was about it. It just helped with my emotions and coping with it.
But the really, really, really big and the most scariest moment throughout this entire thing was that I was so afraid of leaving my mom — you know, dying, and just not being able to be with her. I just couldn't imagine what would happen to her because, you know, we're always together. I don't know what she would do if she actually did lose me since I am her only child, and she's like my best friend.
My best moment would probably have to be when I found out that all my cancer was gone. Me and my mom were so happy because we knew we could do it and after that it was just like we were walking on air. We were just like, "Yeah, we beat it!" Nothing can bring us down now, you know?
My name is Justine Burlock, and I am a survivor.

The sight of Orioles designated hitter Wilson Betemit rolling and writhing on the infield grass of Ed Smith Stadium on Monday afternoon suddenly quieted a sellout crowd and sent chills through the home dugout.
As routine an act as Betemit's was — going on a full-count pitch from first base to second during the Orioles 12-9 Grapefruit League win over the Red Sox — the result was anything but. Betemit's right knee buckled mid-stride as he stumbled in the basepath, crumbled to the ground and clutched his knee in severe pain.
Moments after Betemit was carted off the field, Orioles manager Buck Showalter called the sight "sickening" to a national TV audience watching the game. He left the dugout in the seventh inning to be with Betemit in the trainer's room to console him, and when speaking to the media following the game he looked blankly at the ground after struggling to speak optimistically about Betemit's uncertain prognosis.
"He's pretty down right now, as we are," Showalter said. "Wilson is one of the better young men in the game. For him personally, hopefully we get lucky. But he's a tough guy. For him to lay there [like that], you know he was in some pain."
An MRI would reveal a Grade 2/3 tear of Betemit's posterior cruciate ligament with associated injuries, according to the team. Betemit, one of the Orioles' top hitters against right-handed pitching last season, hobbled out of the Orioles' complex — his right leg in a full mobilizer.
More about the degree of Betemit's injury will be known Tuesday. Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said Monday night he didn't have a timetable on Betemit's return, but hoped his recovery would be more in terms of weeks rather than months.
"I'm going to think positive thoughts and obviously it doesn't look good right now, but we'll see," Showalter said just before Betemit left to get an MRI. "I'm more concerned about Wilson the human being as opposed to what he does for our club. We'll see where he is physically. What it does for our club kind of pales in comparison. You don't want to lose the person as much as the player."
With one out in the fifth inning of Monday's game, Betemit was running full-speed from first to second on a full-count pitch to Manny Machado and crumbled to the ground as Machado lifted a popup to shallow left field. Machado's hit was caught by Red Sox shortstop Jose Iglesias as Betemit fell and Iglesias threw to first to double up Betemit.
Showalter, head trainer Richie Bancells and first base coach Wayne Kirby ran to Betemit. He was helped onto a cart and was carted off the field.
The 31-year-old Betemit was slated to fill the Orioles' designated hitter spot against right-handed pitching. A switch hitter, he compiled a .302/.357/.502 line against right-handers in 2012. He entered Monday's game against the Red Sox hitting just .194 (7-for-36) this spring, but was beginning to find his swing. In his past two games his was 3-for-5 with six RBIs and he drove in four runs — including a three-run homer — on Monday before leaving the game.
"He was really coming [along]," Showalter said.
Showalter said Betemit's injury "sucked the energy out of the dugout" as players expressed concern for their teammate.
"It stole everybody's attention, everybody was talking about it," said reliever Pedro Strop, one of Betemit's best friends on the team. "It's tough to see one of your teammates (get hurt) and even more when you know how hard he worked for the 2013 season."
Strop added, "It was hard for me because we are always talking in the offseason, we are in contact, and I know how hard he worked this offseason to get his swing ready and everything. He worked hard. He started working in December. He didn't even want to play in winter ball because he wanted to prepare his body. For me it was hard to see him laying down there."
Betemit — who signed to a two-year, $3.25 million deal before 2012 with a 2014 option — played in just five of the Orioles' final 48 games last season and missed the entire postseason with a right wrist injury. He initially missed three weeks and returned on September 1 only to reaggravate the injury 12 days later.
"It was tough, because that day I was really excited to be part of the team and go for the playoffs," Betemit said Sunday. "And to have that happen to me, I was really down that day and then have to fly to Florida [for rehab]. It was really bad, really bad for me. I like to be with the team, so when that happened, it was really bad."
Betemit's absence would leave a significant hole in the Orioles' lineup and impact how the organization shaped its big league roster with one week until Opening Day.
Duquette said he's satisfied with the team's existing options in camp in seeking Betemit's replacement.
"We do have some capable left-handed hitters and we also have some right-handed hitters who are capable power hitters," Duquette said.
It essentially cements Ryan Flaherty's spot with the club. Flaherty, last year's Rule 5 pick, was competing for a utility position role, and now his ability to play first base, third base and the outfield as well as provide an additional left-handed bat make him a likely fit.
It also opens a reserve spot for players like Steve Pearce, Conor Jackson and Lew Ford — all of whom have had solid springs as non-roster invitees.
But on Monday, the sentiment was with Betemit, who is respected throughout the Orioles clubhouse as a hard-working veteran.
"We hope for the best for Willie," first baseman Chris Davis said. "I didn't see what happened. I saw what happened after the fact and it didn't look good. I think it's a reminder that as long as you're going hard and leaving everything on the field, there's no regrets and that's the way Wilson plays."

Apple's days of enormous growth spurred by iPhone and iPad sales are over because there's just not enough new market opportunity for the devices, one analyst said Thursday.
"I think the question that is being alluded to is, is there another market opportunity that's as big as the phone and the tablet have been?" Andy Hargreaves of Pacific Crest Securities said on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."
"They're a $600 billion company almost and you need multi-tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions, of new market opportunity to continue to grow, and that's probably not going to happen."

Aisling (pronounced Ashlin) is an Irish name meaning beautiful dream or vision. That she was, for her parents Jack and Anne Sullivan, her four brothers and all who knew her. She was a blonde-haired sprite, perfect, filled with an infectious love of life and adventure and innocently certain of her irresistible charm. She loved pink. She loved to dance, to make candy floss, to meditate, to have her favourite stories re-read to her, to tumble with her four adoring brothers.
A few days before her fatal accident, aged five and a half, she got out of her mother's car by the pier on Bere Island. To Anne's horror she leapt up on the wall overlooking the water and began to walk on it, poised over the long drop with the blissful exuberance and self-confidence of her nature. She was talked down and later, to teach her the lesson, was grounded for five minutes in her room.
An accident, unpredictable and unpreventable, ended her days in this world, when dancing around in their sitting room, she pulled down a mantelpiece on her golden head. As soon as her mother, an intensive care nurse, saw her she realized, as a nurse and a mother, that her spirit or at least her brain was gone. For a few days the residual activity of a small amount of electricity in the brain stem kept her on life-support. The technology surrounding her frail, peaceful frame seemed out of proportion compared with the older inhabitants of the other beds in the Cork ICU. Nature and science were opposed. The scans showed her brain was irreparably damaged. Breathing support and IV kept her breathing.
But the technology was just part of a bigger picture. It gave time, precious time, for the family to gather and for her parents and brothers to begin to adjust to the abyss that had so suddenly and treacherously opened up before them and that had in an instant changed their lives forever. There are not many moments in life you know instantly you will never be able or, however terrible, even want to forget. When they happen you are humbled before the immensity of the cosmos through which we are passing, of which we are citizens, and the tenderness and beauty of life seem unbearable.
When nature and technology agreed and Aisling died in the arms of her parents her brothers, already carefully and wisely counseled to deal with the unprecedented loss, helped to wash her body. This was Ireland where death is not airbrushed out of life. On their return home to the island they found that neighbours and friends had cleaned the house, cut the grass and prepared extra beds for the American relatives. The priests in the picture were talking hard behind the scenes and preparing for the liturgy, integrating particular wishes of the family.
The wake lasted a few days as so many came to pay their respects and sit and talk. Old patients of Anne's from town who hardly left their own houses except to go to the doctor made the ferry trip to the house of grief. A neighbour in feud was reconciled. Dormant friendships leap back to life. A look, a hug, a few words communicate When a heart is broken it shakes up all surrounding hearts. 'How else but through a broken heart may Lord Christ enter in?'. Heart-break makes ways to open other centres of consciousness with which it seeks union and as they are touched (our hearts are 'touched') they escape from the encrusted memories and bad feelings that keep them shut. For this reason perhaps, we feel a strange gratitude and reverence for those in the direct line of tragic suffering. Unknown to themselves, just as Aisling unknowingly blessed others with her blissful life, those who suffer teach and lead. Human empathy is a natural force and when it is awakened an unpredictable - and what may seem at first an inappropriate - energy is released into the system that we call grace. Tragedy impels us to the terrifying cliff-edge but as we fall over it we find ourselves borne on unseen air currents.
It is those mysterious, ineffable but tangible touches of grace in the midst of tragic loss that demand expression. The funeral mass and the local traditions were that language, a blend of the ancient, impersonal and the wholly individual and spontaneous. People filled and spilled out of the island church. Those outside had the island DJ's loudspeakers set up to hear what was happening inside. It would have been a rebuke to the cold abstractions of the aggressive atheists if anyone had felt it worthwhile to argue with them. The many ways people responded to the tragedy was itself the healing and meaning that human pain calls for. God does not make things happen. God is with us.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The oldest living original Tuskegee Airman died on Saturday.
Willie Rogers was 101.
St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman acknowledged Rogers' death on Twitter.
Rest in peace, our friend - St. Pete's 2015 Honored Veteran and Tuskegee Airman, 101 year-old Willie Rogers. pic.twitter.com/Pex9wuSTyi— Rick Kriseman (@Kriseman) November 19, 2016
During World War II, the U.S. military selected Tuskegee Institute to train pilots because of its facilities and engineering and technical instructors, as well as a year-round flying climate. The first civilian pilot training program students completed their instruction in May 1940. The Tuskegee program was then expanded and became the center for African-American aviation during the war.
The Tuskegee Airmen overcame segregation and prejudice to become one of the most highly respected fighter groups of World War II.
In 1998, President Bill Clinton established the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site at Moton Field in Tuskegee, Ala., to commemorate the airmen's heroism.
Tuskegee Airman Wallace Higgins was presented with the congressional gold medal in a New York Veteran's Day ceremony, one of five Tuskegee Airmen who were honored.

Highwire act Boris Johnson defies political gravity
"Clearly the judges are likely to have marked the Mayor down for artistic impression!"
In a sentence from his spokesman, an insight into how the political rulebook does not seem to apply to Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.
If politicians are seen by many as somewhat vanilla, Boris Johnson is a jumbo knickerbocker glory.
For the Mayor of London, getting stuck on a zipwire is just the latest addition to what we should call the "Boris files" - the drawer in the filing cabinet marked "incidents that can finish a politician".
Yet many claim he is becoming more popular.
Can you imagine the Labour leader Ed Miliband or the Chancellor George Osborne, or any other senior politician in the UK, doing this and their reputation being, arguably, enhanced?
Just hours before Mr Johnson was strapped in, put on a blue helmet and commandeered a couple of Union flags for the maiden flight on the wire in London's Victoria Park, this is how he was being talked up in the Daily Telegraph.
Tory wet
"As donors stampede to back Boris, the PM can only watch," read the headline to Benedict Brogan's column. Describing those within the Conservative Party who would like to see Mr Johnson in Downing Street one day, Mr Brogan wrote: "it is Boris Johnson who has snatched the spotlight away from the prime minister and used the Games as a launchpad for his leadership ambitions."
So how has he not just survived, but made a virtue out of moments that would leave most politicians hastily looking for another career?
Firstly, let's indulge ourselves by taking a peek in the Boris files. He is, after all, one of the very, very few politicians known almost universally by his first name.
If you thought this airborne embarrassment was quite something, there has been a bit of the underwater variety too. In 2009, he fell into a river, with the cameras capturing the moment. In keeping with his consistent brand of eccentricity, many said it added to his profile and his reputation. Compare that with the then Labour leader Neil Kinnock falling into the sea in Brighton in 1983.
Before Mr Johnson's airborne and sub aqua escapades, events in late 2004 would themselves have been enough to sink many a politician.
First, in October of that year, he was ordered to visit Liverpool to apologise in person for a magazine article that criticised the city's response to the murder of Ken Bigley, who was killed in Iraq.
The then MP was also editor of The Spectator when it carried an opinion piece saying the city was wallowing in "disproportionate" grief for Mr Bigley, adding it was part of the "deeply unattractive psyche" of many on Merseyside.
A month later, he was sacked as a shadow minister and vice-chairman of the Conservative Party after tabloid allegations about his private life and what he had, or had not, told his then boss, Michael Howard.
He had dismissed the allegations, incidentally, as "an inverted pyramid of piffle".
This remark brings us onto another section of the Boris files worth a look.
He has an extraordinary talent for the memorable phrase. A lucrative talent, for him, too, as a columnist for the Daily Telegraph.
Take the arrival of the Olympic flame at the Tower of London just before the Olympics. The flame was the star. Or was it?
"As Henry VIII discovered, with at least two of his wives, this is the perfect place to bring an old flame," Mr Johnson said.
In 22 words, he had stolen the show.
As enthusiasm grew for the Olympics in the days before the opening ceremony, he said: "The Geiger Counter of Olympomania is going to go zoink."
And how did he describe the beach volleyball? The players were "glistening like wet otters." Again, ask yourself the question: can you imagine another politician ever saying that?
And can you imagine any other politician having his or her first name chanted, in appreciation, in front of a crowd of 60,000 people? It happened to Boris Johnson in Hyde Park in central London the night before the Olympics began.
So what is the official response from Downing Street to Boris Johnson's most recent incident?
"If any other politician got stuck on a zipwire it would be disastrous. With Boris it's a triumph. London is lucky to have him."
The subtext is pretty striking. "London is lucky to have him" will be translated by some to "and that is where he should stay."
With vast quantities of chutzpah and an embarrassment threshold much higher than that zipwire, Boris Johnson can command the Olympic stage.
His critics point out, as Mayor of London, it is a stage with little responsibility. A stage more tolerant of his quirks and fun.
Boris Johnson for Prime Minister, they say, is ludicrous. A joke in itself.
Yet no one disputes he can connect with people who might be otherwise indifferent to politics. And for all his capers and apparent catastrophes, few dispute he is seriously ambitious.

By: Dr Lynda Kelly, Category: Museullaneous, Date: 02 Jul 2009
What audience research has the Museum conducted done on the topic of climate change? This post outlines our initial studies conducted 2006-2007.
Fiona Cameron, from the University of Western Sydney, asked me about audience research we have done on the topic of climate change. We conducted several studies as part of a larger research project investigating future exhibition topics.
The first study in 2006 consisted of two quantitative surveys. One with an online sample of 538 respondents from the greater Sydney region (mix of visitors and non-visitors to museums and galleries); and one with 319 visitors to the Australian Museum. Climate Change was chosen as the preferred exhibiton topic by 21% of online respondents and by 22% of the onsite sample. It was of high interest to 39% of Australian Museum visitors and 26% of online respondents.
Why is this topic so appealing? A range of reasons were given by respondents. The first was that it is an important subject that we all need to know about:
I think climate change should be of interest to everybody because it is our future. Will we survive?
I think we need to know more about climate change as it's already happening.
Topical and at the forefront of everyone's attention. Will foster necessary public debate. Is of great interest to all ages and backgrounds.
The second was that people felt climate change is a topic that children need to be educated about:
Climate change is an important issue and one that I could take my children to see and discuss.
Educating the community and my kids about this pressing issue so we can make immediate changes.
They also felt that there is a lot of misinformation around and they trust the Museum to give the real facts:
I think we need to know more unbiased reasonably proven facts regarding climate change.
Climate change is very current and something that the whole world, and even more, needs more in-depth study, shown and interpreted for us normal people out here.
Finally, they felt that we need to know what we can do:
… we all need to be made aware, with tangible examples, of what's happening and how we can help.
Climate's a very good indicator of the environment, must learn so we can save the planet before things go very wrong.
The second study in 2007 consisted of focus groups with a range of target audiences to unpack the issues further. Again, climate change was clearly the most popular exhibition topic across all groups because:
We found that participants felt the Museum was in a perfect position to be that authority, as audiences see us as a trusted source of scientific information and not aligned to a political party, lobby group or big business partner:
It's a perfect fit for the Museum, it's science!
I think the Museum has a great chance to be the authority on this issue, people trust the Museum and its science.
Some questions people wanted an exhibition to help them with were:
We also did detailed front-end research during development of our climate change exhibition. My next post will summarise these findings.

PENNSVILLE, N.J. — Relatives of the gunman charged in last week's Los Angeles airport shooting expressed sympathy to the family of the security officer who was killed.
An attorney for the family of Paul Ciancia said Monday that his relatives also expressed hope for the recovery of the other victims and regret for the disruption caused travelers.
The family's lawyer, John Jordan, is also the municipal judge in Pennsville, a working-class town across the river from Wilmington, Del., where Ciancia grew up. Jordan wouldn't take questions after reading a brief statement outside the town's municipal building.
"We, like most Americans, are shocked and numbed by the tragic events of last Friday," Jordan said on behalf of the family, which said it was cooperating with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.
He added: "Paul is our son and brother. We will continue to love him and care for him and support him during the difficult times ahead."
The family, which had not spoken publicly before, also asked for privacy.
Ciancia, 23, is accused of shooting his way past an airport checkpoint with a .223-caliber rifle he pulled from a duffel bag. He was wounded in a shootout with airport police. He faces charges of murder of a federal officer and committing violence at an international airport. Transportation Security Administration Gerardo Hernandez was killed in the rampage.
Ciancia graduated from the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Orlando, Fla., in December 2011 and later moved to Los Angeles, where he was not able to find work.
Authorities said he went to Los Angeles International Airport on Friday with goals including killing a Transportation Security Administration officer and showing how easy it is to get a gun into an airport.
Stop signs at either end of the Ciancia's family's street in New Jersey were adorned with sticker advertising Infowars.com, a website that discusses many of the same anti-government ideas officials said Ciancia addressed in a hand-written note found in his duffel bag. There's no way to tell who put the stickers on the signs.
Orange construction cones blocked the Ciancia family's long driveway, and two policemen were at the auto body shop owned by Ciancia's father, also named Paul.
