Tom Ivan: ''Responding to today's Grand Theft Auto V delay, Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz has suggested that Rockstar may be planning to eventually release the game on the next generation of consoles in some form.''
It's funny how people think making a game next gen is as simple as putting it on a different disc. A game of this magnitude being switched to another console could delay it for 1 possibly even 2 years
if ps4 can play ps3 games, we can play gta 5. But i will not be surprised if rockstar decides to also release also a superior gta 5 version for the ps4 and next xbox, maybe thats why it has been delayed ?, they are maybe working for current gen consoled and next gen
Nah nah nah no.
GTA V looks AWESOME for what it is. A game made with 7yr old hardware with 512mb of ram and old GPUs. To move it next gen and simply tweak it will never do the game justice, as next gen is going to provide graphical fidelity beyond what we have ever seen on consoles before.
Rockstar, we look foward to GTA V this gen. Two years from now, release a teaser for a next gen GTA6 so we can pick our jaws off the floor again.
Screw a port of GTA, next gen, built from the ground up GTA 6 only ! :)

Julie Chen of "The Talk" shared a big secret Wednesday on the show: She had plastic surgery done on her eyes in the hope of advancing her career.
The reason? She'd been told she'd never make the anchor desk in Dayton, Ohio, because she was Chinese. Then a top-notch agent in no uncertain terms told her basically the same thing — she needed to Westernize her look.
"He said, 'I cannot represent you unless you get plastic surgery to make your eyes look bigger.' ... and I did it," Chen revealed during what has been a week of the show's hosts each unveiling a major secret from her past.
(On Monday, Sharon Osbourne copped to a "flingy wingy" with Jay Leno when she was 25; Tuesday, Aisha Tyler revealed her struggles with fertility, and Thursday, Sara Gilbert discussed what it was like to realize she was a lesbian while dating actor Johnny Galecki.)
Chen, 43, showed a side-by-side comparison of news headshots to illustrate how dramatic the surgery was (see the photos in the video above).
"If you look at the after, the eyes are bigger, I look more alert ... more expressive," she said, agreeing with a very supportive co-host Sheryl Underwood on that last point.
But did she have any regrets? How does she feel about herself now, her co-hosts wanted to know.
"Now I sometimes wonder...." But, she said, "After I had that done ... the ball did roll for me. Which I struggle with, wow, did I give in to 'the man' and do this?" Indeed, Chen has notched a career as a successful journalist, including time at the anchor desk for CBS Morning News and more. Not to mention her gig as the host of CBS' "Big Brother."
After assurances from her co-hosts that no, she, Mrs. Les Moonves, had not given in to "the man," she wrapped it up.
"I will say this ... I don't like to live with regrets. I did it, I moved on, no one's more proud of being Chinese than I am, and I have to live with the decisions I have made. That's my secret."

At this year's International Franchise Expo in New York, you could sample several brands of frozen yogurt, check out a vast array of burger concepts and educate yourself in the various methods that can be used to teach young children. There is, it seems, a franchise for every interest and area of expertise.
Including some unusual ones. Tucked among the tried-and-true franchise opportunities -- think fast-food and cafes -- were some new and unique franchise concepts that entrepreneurs were looking grow.
"There were a lot of new concepts," said Steve Caldeira, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association. "As folks decide they want to control their own destiny, they have creative ideas and they want to franchise them. It's an exciting time."
More than 14,000 people would agree – attendance at the expo this month was the highest since 2006. With 334 exhibitors on hand to talk to attendees, "there was a lot of excitement," said Caldeira.
What's changed in the past few years? "There is a lot of pent-up demand for franchising," he said. "It allows you to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself. As the country slowly moves out of the recession, franchising is once again on the rise."
Click ahead to read about some of the more unique offerings from the franchise world at the June 16-18 convention.

There have been a lot of crazy, nutty things I have lived through on the road, but this one has to be at or certainly near the top of the list, for sure! It happened during my 1975 tour with John Prine (many crazy stories came from this tour!), and it happened after we had been on the road already for around 4 months straight, all residing in the same tour bus. It turned out that Prine's manager had leased the bus for the tour from a man named "Sam Sermons", kind of a strange name considering he toured around with this bus doing Gospel shows throughout the country……guess it was sort of a religious "stage" name, perhaps?
Anyway, we were in the midst of the tour and were in Austin, Texas. We were about to play that night in a downtown theater, but the weather was so brutal that hail had actually crashed through the roof of the place, rendering the place un-inhabitable for a concert. But, on top of all this nightmare, our manager gets a call first thing in the morning with a voice on the other line saying "look out your window, AL….your bus is gone! We're 100 miles outside of Austin, and if you want your personal belongings, you'd better meet us here to get them!" Well, to us players, it simply meant our bus had been stolen, and that we needed to get our "stuff" back from it! What we had no idea of was that Al had apparently not been paying Sermons for the leasing of the bus, and the owner decided simply to take it back and hold it hostage! As it turned out, we got our things back, but never the bus. I suppose they could not reach a settlement of this dispute, and Al probably just told them to get lost, and to take their bus with them!
So after that, we had to get a much lesser quality Winnebago "motor home" that wasn't nearly as fun to tour with, nor as safe, and certainly not as roomy. But we somehow managed, and just kept rolling along, singing a song, and playing wherever and whenever we could. The upshot of the story is really something from "The Twilight Zone", and to this day, none of the other band members, who were sleeping will ever believe; Being a night owl, I often used to ride "shotgun" next to the bus driver at night, and we used to just have a great time telling stories, and basically just enjoying each other's company. One evening, when everyone else was fast asleep, me and Donny, the bus driver, were looking out the windshield as we were driving due south from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky. As we were talking, there was oncoming traffic on the other side of the highway. All of a sudden, Donny yells out, "Sam….Sermons…..there it goes…THE BUS!!!!"And sure enough, we had witnessed our "stolen" bus, months later, simply passing us in the dark of night, in the middle of the country!!! It was like seeing ole "Phantom 409", or some mysterious apparition like that! Of course, and literally to this day the other band members, and Al himself do not believe the story, but it's as true as true can be, and was one of the craziest road experiences I have ever had, for sure! Sure had to be in the right place at the right time for that one!!!!

Spalding Rockwell Gray (June 5, 1941 – ca. January 10, 2004) was an American actor, playwright, screenwriter, performance artist, and monologist. He was primarily known for his "trenchant, personal narratives delivered on sparse, unadorned sets with a dry, WASP, quiet mania.":316 Gray achieved notoriety for writing and acting in the play Swimming to Cambodia, adapted into a film in 1987.
He began his career in regional theatre, moved to New York in 1967 and three years later joined Richard Schechner's experimental troupe, the Performance Group. He co-founded the Wooster Group ensemble in 1975. He died in New York City of an apparent suicide.
Spalding Rockwell Gray was born in Providence, Rhode Island to Rockwell Gray, Sr. who was a factory worker, and Margaret Elizabeth "Lizzie" Horton, who was a homemaker. He also had two younger brothers named Rockwell Gray, Jr. and Channing Michael Gray. He was raised in the Christian Scientist faith and grew up in Barrington, Rhode Island, and spent summers at his grandmother's house in Newport.

RESTON, Va., March 30 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists announced they're working to take the guesswork out of which crops to use for the production of biofuels in Nebraska grasslands.
The U.S. Geological Survey announced it developed a tool for mapping grasslands using remote sensing data from satellites.
The purpose of the survey is to identify areas in and around Nebraska that are ideally suited for the production of cellulosic biofuels from native switch grass.
"This innovative scientific study takes some of the guesswork out of deciding whether it could be feasible to raise a potentially high value crop for biofuels on America's grasslands," USGS Director Marcia McNutt said in a statement.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint BioEnergy Institute announced last year they were working with new strains of Escherichia coli that could more easily digest biomass from switch grass for use in gasoline, diesel and jet fuels.
The USGS said it expected demand for biofuel products to increase as global economics search out alternatives to fossil fuels. The agency said "critical considerations" are made when examining energy derived from biofuels compared to the energy used to grow and process them.
The U.S. Energy Department in December announced that, along with the Department of Agriculture, it awarded $12.2 million for 10 separate grants that target improvements in biofuels and bioenergy crops.

ManageSocial needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 31 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Melon Media started in 2000 and has evolved into a specialist digital agency. At our core is a love of online applications and how they can solve real life problems.
AdAdmire helps people find other who will be genuinely interested in following them on twitter. The heart of the application is an ad platform that reads a user's recent tweets and finds someone who they can connect with. The platform sits in traditional ad placements and is shown to users when they connect to a website with their twitter account. This platform is currently live at http://adadmire.com
We like logos with personality, that can be easily personified. One of our existing products http://spellr.us uses an owl as its logo. We like this style.
Twitter users, both individuals and organizations. We want to appeal to a wide range of people who use twitter. We also need to be able to appeal to business users, so avoid anything overly childish. Think Google's colourful, professional style.
Design a logo. We want it to be friendly, but mature. You can view our initial robot image and logo at http://adadmire.com or attached to this brief. We like the style with which the current robot is drawn, but it looks a little too menacing. We also do not like the use of a heart - it makes the service seem a little too much like a dating site.
The logo/character should convey "connecting" without coming across as a dating tool. We like the robot idea because it combines technology with connecting, but are open to new character ideas.
We do want;
* A logo with a personality to use on the website and as a branding identity across all platforms.
* We like logos that can be easily personified - a robot or animal would work well. Large eyes are a plus.
* The logo should have the type "AdAdmire" sitting next to it, or below it, but it should be seperable. The logo needs to be able to sit alone.
* Fun, charming and engaging without being too childish.
* Web file format - layered .psd (RGB)
* We like the "drawn" look of the current site.
We do not want;
* Hearts included in the logo
* Any specific reference to twitter (i.e. the twitter bird) should not be included.
Thank you for your submissions!

last chapter is here!
this is my first story so please reveiw and tell me how good it is. oh and I OWN NOTHING!!!!!
1. Chapter 1 You're Here Too?
Rating 5/5 Word Count 555 Review this Chapter
"Turn the volume down" Jamie said from the backseat to Luke in the passenger seat
"No way! I love this song!" he yelled as he turned it up louder.
"I said turn it down!" Jamie was screaming now
"And I said no!" Luke yelled back.
"Okay enough! Turn it down and no more fighting" Joe called from the driver's seat.
"Thanks Joe" Sara said throwing a grateful glance to him.
"Yeah I don't think I could have handled another minute of them fighting" I told them.
"Well neither could I Bella" Joe replied Jamie and Luke hadn't said anything since Joe blew up and we all sat back in the silence.
Jamie and Sara looked out the backseat windows while Joe and Luke looked out the windshield.
I was wedged in the middle of Jamie and Sara so I closed my eyes and thought of how this coven came to be.
I had taken a walk in the forest next to the house. I was going to think about why He- It still hurt to think his name after 57 years- left. I felt a cold hand around my arm and I turned around to see Victoria looking down at me and then she bit me. I was almost drained when Jamie and Joe pulled her off me and helped me through the transformation. Next we were traveling through Maine and we met Luke and Sara.
We have been together ever since. We all had our special talents; Joe knew everything about someone just by looking at them.
Jamie had total mind control. Luke could levitate objects.
Sara could heal any type of illness or injury and I could project force fields.
The Volturi had asked us to join them at one point but we told them that we wouldn't drink humans and they left us alone.
Now Joe was forcing us to live in Oregon. Astoria, Oregon to be exact I wasn't exactly thrilled we were moving again but I went along because Joe and Jamie were our leaders and none of us dared to disobey.
"We're here" Joe said snapping me out of my reverie.
"Finally I thought we would never get here." Sara complained. I stepped out of the car and looked at the house and gasped there was the strong sent of other vampires surrounding the place.
"Um… Joe?" I asked
"Yeah Bella?" he looked at me handing me my bag
"Did you buy this place from other vampires?" I new my face looked worried
"Oh… yeah about that… you see I didn't buy this house we are merging our coven with this one" he explained.
As he said this last part he walked off toward the house and left me standing there. I sniffed the air again and smelled a horribly familiar sent Edward's
"Bella are you okay?" Jamie asked out of concern
"Yeah" it was just a whisper but I knew she could hear me.
"Umm… Bella these are the vampires from your past aren't they?" Sara asked joining our conversation.
"Uh huh" I felt weak in the knees. There was the sound of Joe knocking on the door then the familiar voice of Esme welcoming him.
Then right when I was about to run I heard her gasp "Bella?" Shoot…

Refreshing or Revolting: 2015 Toyota Yaris
Much of Toyota's lineup has gotten mid-cycle refreshes for the 2014 and 2015 model years including its subcompact hatchback. Like the updates to the rest of the automaker's lineup, the 2015 Toyota Yaris hatchback gains more aggressive styling. But does that make it better? Below, we take a look at the changes to the 2015 Yaris hatchback.
Up front, the 2015 Toyota Yaris features a more aggressive fascia that integrates the upper grille with the lower intake with its black bumper insert. The large opening features a chrome outline on LE models and is framed in black on SE models. Both models feature a chrome stripe that bisects the headlight unit and dips below the front Toyota emblem. The headlights also feature a scalloped shape where it meets the lower bumper.
From the side, the 2015 Toyota Yaris is nearly identical to the 2014 model. Around back, the taillights gain new lenses with updated detailing, while the reverse indicator lights are now center-mounted below the revised rear bumper.
Inside, the most noticeable change is the dashboard insert that now frames the instrument cluster and appears as one piece rather than broken by up by the gauges. The changes to the dashboard also change the shape of the driver's side vent and the pair of center vents.
While the 2015 Toyota Yaris gains a mid-cycle update rather than a full redesign, the subcompact hatch now has some semblance to the rest of Toyota's recently refreshed lineup.
Last week, we took a look at the updated 2015 Chevrolet Cruze and asked whether it was refreshing or revolting. Most commenters weren't a fan of the compact Chevy sedan's new looks.
Mark Hilliard called it "Revolting, I know looking at the 2016 model that buying this car would be a great mistake; it just looks a little more immature. Adding chrome for the sake of adding chrome..."Bill_Lumberg echoed the opinion saying, "Ah I see what they did here. They restyled the part that looked good and made it look horrible to match the rear. Good job, Chevy."
ThreePedal435 was the only one with kind words for the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze: "Refreshing. The updated front and rear ends definitely make the car look more expensive overall and, in my opinion, slightly sportier. It would be nice if a more powerful engine were also offered as an option."

July 2006 Equipment Roundup - Material Handling
This "baker's dozen" of material handling equipment spans a broad range of applications, from lift trucks to conveyors to belts.
Rugged trucks
Features of the newly engineered NR3000 Series 24V Reach Truck include a spacious operator compartment, multifunctional control handle and an AC drive system to enhance performance and improve operator efficiency. Configurations for the trucks include reach, deep reach and straddle chassis with capacities ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 lbs. and lift heights over 22 ft.
Cat Lift Trucks; Houston
800-228-5438; www.cat-lift.com
Easy-clean belt
The unique design of the Series 800 SeamFree open hinge flat top belt facilitates sanitation practices in food processing operations. The vendor claims it is the largest plastic module in the market at 36 in. wide with a 2-in. pitch. The open-hinge design makes rods and hinges more accessible for thorough cleaning, and the underside channels water and debris to belt edges for easy removal. Because the belt isn't hinge-driven, debris is not pressed into the hinges. These factors eliminate several sanitation and product quality issues.
Intralox LLC; Harahan, La.
800-535-8848; www.intralox.com
Maneuverable trucks
The new 4700 Series four-wheel, sit-down electric lift trucks are more maneuverable and responsive than any other truck in their class, the vendor claims, translating to increased operator efficiency and productivity. The tighter turning radius provides greater agility and more efficient, faster right angle stacking. Maintenance costs are lowered due to the company's exclusive ACR system which delivers faster, smoother operation, quicker response and lower maintenance.
Raymond Corp.; Greene, N.Y.
800-235-7200; www.raymondcorp.com
Cost-effective belt
A new, cost-effective alternative to balanced-weave belts, the Flat-Flex XT is ideal for medium-duty processing applications. The lower belt mass results in lower power consumption, faster processing and more product throughput. The unique wire mesh design with "Z-bend" joints provides greater strength with higher durability and longevity The belts are easy to clean and maintain and are typically used for breading machines, battering applications, commercial fryers, snack foods, cooking ovens and confectionary.
Wire Belt; Londonderry, N.H.
603-644-2500; www.wirebelt.com
Snug shaft design
The popular 1700 Series universal conveyor roller is now available with Taperhex shaft design. The double spring-loaded design allows the tapered hexagonal shaft to fit snugly into side-frame mounting holes, regardless of size or condition. Movement and wear on the frame are virtually eliminated due to the tight, self-adjusting fit and this translates into significant noise reduction and reduced maintenance costs.
Interroll Corp.; Wilmington, N.C.
800-830-9680; www.interroll.com
Sanitary conveyor
The 3-A Sanitary Conveyor is perfectly suited for bulk foods, pharmaceuticals, dairy products and other contamination-sensitive materials because it meets 3-A sanitary standards. An innovative coupling design virtually eliminates the potential of contamination while allowing quick disconnection of the screw from the motor drive for wash down. Numerous screws are offered to move a variety of materials ranging from large pellets to sub-micron powders with no separation of blended products.
Flexicon Corp.; Bethlehem, Pa.
888-353-9426; www.flexicon.com
New options for palletizer
New interface and design options are now available for the A-780 case palletizer. These options (among them a recirculating row pusher, high-speed hoist and pattern generation utility) dramatically increase the capacity and value of the machine for low-to mid-speed applications. In addition, it is RFID-enabled, giving it various useful capabilities such as changing patterns on the fly, managing end-of-run clearing and tracking production and inventory information.
FKI Logistex; St. Louis
877-935-4564; www.fkilogistex.com
Efficient vacuum conveyor
The IC Series of vacuum conveyors is designed to efficiently move coffee beans and similar materials during processing. These high-performance conveyors are completely enclosed, preventing materials from damage, and the unique filter design traps particles and prevents external contamination. The compact design conserves floor space, and they consume less energy than any other compressed-air driven technology on the market.
Piab USA Inc.; Hingham, Mass.
800-321-7422; www.piab.com
Clean, versatile conveyor
New FlexFlite screw conveyors use steel augers and flexible tubes up to 100 ft. long to move materials at rates as high as 3,600 lbs. per hour. They are readily portable and ideal for conveying products from bags, bins, hoppers or weigh stations. These conveyors can move a diverse array of materials (yeast granules, grain, nuts and more) including products that require sanitary handling.

There are no Upcoming Shows listed for this comedian.
April Richardson
Hey! My name is April Richardson — I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, but I live in Los Angeles now. I really, really enjoy performing stand-up comedy and have done so at places like the Hollywood Improv, Comedy Bang Bang at the UCB Theatre, Portland's Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Seattle's Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival, San Francisco's Sketchfest, and more fancy names that may (or may not?) impress you. (I also made Glenn Danzig laugh once — true story — so, you know, I'M LEGIT.) I have written things for MTV and been published in various magazines and books (remember those?), so that's pretty cool, right? I spend my days working on E!'s hit show Chelsea Lately and my nights watching Food Network.

This is Poo... Poo is my cat and he loves his noodle.
This is the booze for our wedding... We and our friends are lushes.
Our first "we're married" dinner
Ariel shot our wedding... Her photos from the night are much better than mine.
Pictures of people dancing are funny... Meric (right) is playing this Thursday at Bimbos with The Dodos. Go see the show. Kelly Stoltz is playing with them too.
Kyle came out from the Big Apple for the Big Day.
Buy a glass from Chris.
I like having a father in law that's a Harvard educated doctor. Free medical advice!... Plus he's super cool and always good times.
He also plays a mean... what's that thing called?! French horn?
Wedding band bump.
The next day everyone nursed hang overs by the pool.

Gotta take the photo everyone has of their own parents. Some day our kids are going to frame this.
If you're married you know what I mean... Your wife looks so amazing right after you get married.
Treasure Island
Ok, so there's this one big boat called The Maltese Falcon and it sailed to SF. We, like many others, came out to tell it hello.
It's a big boat
And it sails very very fast.
Ok, so summer is over but when things warm up next year, swim here... Paradise Cove. On an ebb current it's super warm and the location gets very hot. I hate cold water and this isn't cold at all... Swimming pool warm.
But be careful as the current is very strong.
Later, Tim.
We stayed on the boat and BBQ'd...
If sailing looks fun... it is and it IS NOT expensive. You can get a decent boat from like $1,000 right now... This boat is designed for the bay and is a very very good boat and CHEAP. Buy it and join us out there.

Race time: 1:47.17.612; Margin of victory: 7.964 seconds; Winner's average speed: 113.16 mph; Lead changes: Five different leaders, 22 lead changes; Laps led: Herrin 32, Westby 12, Eslick 5, Rapp 5 and Coghlan 3.
DAYTONA BEACH -- The Daytona 200 started with a disaster Friday night -- seven motorcycles crashed on the opening lap -- and ended with defining victory for a 19-year-old rider.
Josh Herrin goes into the record book as the second-youngest winner of the 200 after an overpowering ride and a couple of quick pit stops from his Team Graves Yamaha crew.
"It's an awesome feeling to bag this bad boy," Herrin said.
In the closing laps, it was a gut-check for the Dublin, Ga., rider, who could feel Dane Westby, also Yamaha mounted, closing in on his exhaust pipe. At one point, Westby was just 2 seconds behind the teen sensation.
"I knew Westby was coming," said Herrin, who won the last four Daytona SportBike races of the 2009 season. "I just kept putting in the laps and pushing as hard as I could. Dane rode an awesome race."
Herrin beat Westby by 7.964 seconds after 57 grueling laps over Daytona International Speedway's 3.51-mile motorcycle road course.
Herrin led 32 laps, including the final 17, when he pulled away from his nearest challenger. Westby backed off to stay off the grass. Many other riders were not as fortunate.
"I saw the gap open and close," Westby said of his attempt to catch Herrin. "I didn't want to do something stupid and throw away second place."
Westby led 12 laps before settling for runner-up honors. Steve Rapp, who won the 2007 Daytona 200, was third aboard a Ducati.
"We put the best effort we could," Rapp said. "It was a good effort for a two-year-old team to get to the podium.
"This is the Daytona 200. How many times can you say you had a chance to win the 200? There's not many chances you get to be competitive in this race. I am happy to be on the podium."
Rounding out the top five were Danny Eslick, on the No. 1 Richie Morris Racing Suzuki that started from the pole position; and Kev Coghlan, who crashed on the last lap but still finished fifth, a lap down to the top four bikes.
Eslick led five of the first 19 laps but lost contact with the riders ahead of him.
Herrin never felt threatened, except on his last pit stop, when the bike ahead of him on pit road had a fuel spill.
"That freaked me out," he said. "They were telling me, 'Don't go through (the gas)', then (they) pushed me through it."
The start of the race was pure madness.
On the first lap Martin Cardenas, who was the second-fastest qualifier, dumped his No. 36 Suzuki in the east horseshoe.
Seconds later, five riders crashed exiting road course Turn 1. Among those involved were Clinton Seller, Ponce Inlet's Mark Crozier, Bostjan Skubic, Russ Wikle and P.J. Jacobsen.
Seller, Crozier and Wikle were treated and released from the Speedway's infield care center.
Jacobsen and Skubic were transported by ambulance to Halifax Health Medical Center. Jacobsen was treated and released. Skubic was described as awake and alert.
The race was red-flagged for a short time to clean up the course. The first start did not count as a lap, as there was a complete restart.
On the restart of Lap 1, Josh Day spilled going into Turn 1. Before the first lap was over, Shawn Higbee had a fall in the infield course.

Driving Nails in Lear's Thesisby L. Brent Bozell IIIOctober
8, 1996
This past summer, in his speech at the Humanitas Prize
awards ceremony, Norman Lear, television producer and liberal activist
extraordinaire, lauded the human quality that "for want of a better term,
we can call...the spiritual. Whatever we call it, we have long recognized its
presence and accepted that it sets us apart [from lesser animals]. And
yet...at no time in my life can I remember our culture being so estranged from
this essential part of itself."
Are we really less spiritually oriented today than at any
time in, say, the past fifty years, a period roughly coinciding with the
74-year-old Lear's adulthood? The answer depends on how you define
"spiritual." For me, the term is synonymous with
"religious." Using that definition, Lear is wrong. National surveys
show a vast majority of the American public -- 90 percent -- takes its belief
in God seriously.
But that's not what Lear is talking about. For him and many
others in the entertainment business, the spiritual is a comfortable substitute
for the religious. Spirituality offers them a feel-good refuge from BMW
materialism while allowing them to avoid the structure and disciplines of
organized religion, which in its traditional form is dogmatic and (perhaps the
gravest sin in Hollywood) judgmental. The spiritual is defined by the
individual; what he determines to be "spiritual" -- is.
Lear's concept of spirituality tilts in the direction of the
New Age, rather than the Judeo-Christian phenomenon. His disdain for the
latter is so pronounced that he founded one national organization, People for
the American Way, and supports heavily another, the American Civil Liberties
Union, which are dedicated to undermining organized religion.
With that agenda in mind, Lear caused a hefty public debate
in 1991 when he produced the TV series "Sunday Dinner," featuring
the then-obscure Teri Hatcher, and announced it would deal seriously with the
spiritual issues of the day. How so? Hatcher's character referred to the
Supreme Being as "He or She," addressed Him (or Her) as
"Chief," and chattered about "the natural world that is our
sacred community," words more indicative of how the tree-huggers have
co-opted religious rhetoric than of any genuine religious belief.
Some were disgusted by the silliness of it all; others (this
writer included) pointed to the lack of anything of a
spiritual/religious nature on network television and suggested this was better
than nothing at all, and that perhaps with time Lear would become more serious
in his presentation of religious themes. We were wrong on that one: He didn't,
and the show bombed.
Lear's hostility toward the traditional also is clear from
his remark in the Humanitas speech that our waning spirituality is evident
"in [our] loss of faith in leaders, in institutions, the cynicism, the
selfishness, and the erosion of civility." Not a word about faith, or the
afterlife, not even a mention of God. I don't endorse selfishness or
incivility, but if by "loss of faith in leaders [and] institutions"
Lear means the federal government, I shout "Hallelujah!"
Lear hasn't had a successful series in a decade and a half.
Besides "Sunday Dinner," he's flopped with "AKA Pablo,"
"The Powers That Be," and "704 Hauser." If he wants a hit,
why not try a show grounded in true faith, a show on which God is called not
"Chief," but "God"? Since Lear last produced a series,
CBS's superb "Touched By an Angel" has proved that an unambiguously
religious program can be a ratings winner.
Oh, some would surely counter that Lear's natural idiom is
not drama but rather situation comedy, but faith can be presented effectively
in that format as well, as evidenced earlier this year by an episode of
"The Naked Truth." (This series, formerly of ABC, will air on NBC
later this season.) Nora is a young woman who runs into Katie, an old friend
who has become a nun. Nora marvels, "You know, you've changed, Katie.
You've got...this sense of calm [and] inner peace."
Nora later confides to another friend that she'd feel
"a little silly" praying, not having done it in so long. The
response is poignant: "When did you become too cool for God?" Nora's
search for faith leads her to tell Katie that she, too, wants to be a nun:
"I don't want to feel so empty and disconnected. Tired, poor of spirit,
disgusted with my fellow man. I want what you've got."
"Your spirit's thirsty," Katie replies. "You
want to drink the whole ocean. Maybe what you need is to start with the first
glass." Nora doesn't become a nun, but she does return to prayer. The
episode is funny, witty, and understands what Lear doesn't: traditional
religion touches the soul in a way that New Age ga-ga never will. Or can.

In Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, the player begins his adventure as an apprentice Dragon Slayer. After a bizarre twist of fate, he will be able to shape-shift into a Dragon. The Dragon Slayer becomes a mighty Dragon Knight, the very creature he is supposed to chase! This puts the player at odds with his former brothers in arms, and indeed with most of the population.
The unique ability to transform into a fire breathing dragon at will, allows the player to glide over vast landscapes, enjoy the panoramic view, and cover long distances quickly. Furthermore, this rare gift not only introduces a tactical angle, but also vastly enriches gameplay with challenging fire fights against other flying creatures, and air to ground combat.
Divinity 2: Ego Draconis takes the player back to Rivellon, more than half a century after the Divine came to power. Much has happened there since, but the death of the Divine –the hero of the previous game– is undoubtedly the greatest tragedy. He was slain by a Dragon Knight during a battle with Damian, Rivellon's arch nemesis. The Divine's paladins swore revenge and so the order of the Dragon Slayers came to be.
Rivellon, the beautiful but war torn world first explored in Divinity 2's award winning predecessor, features many areas and labyrinths for the player to explore freely. This world is the home of plenty of non-player characters, offering a multitude of quests and storylines, or just the latest gossip. Because of the branched quest system, the player's decisions can have long reaching consequences.
The world of Divinity 2: Ego Draconis is filled with humans and fantasy creatures, each having special combat abilities. Players will need to use every skill, potion and hidden trick to their strategic advantage to reclaim the lands of Rivellon. The player is set on an unexpected quest that will unveil hidden truths, reveal old evils and shall have grave implications on the whole of Rivellon.
dtp's Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, developed by Larian Studios, will be released in Q2 2009.

Template:I18n links start Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n links end
这篇文章的目标是让NFSv4 运行在Arch Linux.上
NFSv4 是 NFS 的一个新版本(对旧的NFSv3来说, see Nfs) with new features like strong authentication and integrity via Kerberos and SPKM-3, improved performance, safe file caching, lock migration, UTF-8, ACLs and better support for Windows file sharing semantics.
服务器端和客户端都需要的软件包(from AUR):
Note: currently pacman doesn't seem to handle replacing when invoked with pacman -U. Therefore, you'll need to remove nfs-utils before installing nfs4-utils (which is a complete drop-in replacement).
首先我们需要编辑文件 /etc/exports. 一个典型的 NFSv4 export 应该象这样:
/export 192.168.0.12(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) /export/music 192.168.0.12(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/export is the NFS root here (due to the fsid=0 entry). Everything else that you want to be shared over NFS must be accessible under /export.
For exporting directories outside the NFS root, see below.
Note: the no_root_squash option means that root on the client is also considered root on the server. This is of course a security risk. Remove it if you don't need it.
Exporting directories outside your NFS root
To do this, you'll need to use bind mounts. For example, to bind /home/john to /export/john:
mount --bind /home/john /export/john
Then, /export/john needs to be added to /etc/exports:
/export 192.168.0.12(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) /export/music 192.168.0.12(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) /export/john 192.168.12(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash,nohide)
The nohide option is required, because the kernel NFS server automatically hides mounted directories. To add the bind mount to /etc/fstab:
/home/john /export/john none bind 0 0
ID mapping
Then, /etc/idmapd.conf needs to be edited. You'll need to at the very least specify your Domain there. Example:
[General] Verbosity = 1 Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs Domain = archlinux.org [Mapping] Nobody-User = nobody Nobody-Group = nobody
Add the following lines to /etc/fstab:
rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs defaults 0 0 nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
Starting the server
To start the NFS server, just
/etc/rc.d/portmap start /etc/rc.d/nfs-common start /etc/rc.d/nfs-server start
If you want to tweak the configuration, feel free to edit /etc/conf.d/nfs-server.conf to your needs.
ID mapping
/etc/idmapd.conf needs to be edited on all clients and the Domain entry should be identical to the one on the server. Example:
[General] Verbosity = 1 Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs Domain = archlinux.org [Mapping] Nobody-User = nobody Nobody-Group = nobody [Translation] Method = nsswitch
Add the following line to /etc/fstab:
rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs defaults 0 0
Mounting the partitions on the client
On the client, to mount the NFSv4 partition:
/etc/rc.d/portmap start /etc/rc.d/nfs-common start mount -t nfs4 server:/ /mnt/server/ mount -t nfs4 server:/music /mnt/music/ mount -t nfs4 server:/john /mnt/john
Replacing 'server' with the hostname or IP address of your NFS server and of course 'server', 'music' and 'john' with the names of whatever directories you exported on the server. Note that the root of the path on the server is the NFS root specified; all paths must be specified relative to it.
If you want the NFS volumes to mount automatically on bootup, add them to fstab.

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia Tech has added Alabama A&M to its 2013 schedule, giving the Yellow Jackets two Football Championship Subdivision opponents.
Georgia Tech will have to win at least seven games to qualify for a bowl game because it will face two FCS teams. It will open its 2013 season against FCS opponent Elon.
Alabama A&M will visit Georgia Tech on Nov. 23, 2013, one week before the Yellow Jackets play Georgia. The Atlantic Coast Conference is sticking with eight-game conference schedules in 2013 instead of expanding to nine games. That left a void in Georgia Tech's schedule.
The Yellow Jackets, who won the ACC's Coastal Division before losing to Florida State in the ACC championship game, will play Southern California in the Sun Bowl with a 6-7 record.

The sophisticated nature of Internet security suites today means that you don't need a separate spyware scanner. At least, that's what the security vendors would like us to believe.
Spyware and tracking cookies remain the one area where security suites fall short, and leading dedicated tools such as Ad-Aware and Spybot Search are all worthy additions to your system's security. Yet with free apps available why would you want to shell out £30 for an anti-spyware program? Quite simply, real-time protection is worth it. That's where SUPERAntiSpyware Professional really works wonders.
Secure requirements
Although a further load on system resources is the price that you pay, we found SUPERAntiSpyware faired very well on a dual-core system. However, if your current system struggles with the programs you're already running, an Internet security suite and SUPERAntiSpyware Professional running together may slow you down noticeably.
We found SUPERAntiSpyware's scanning to be both quick and effective, and the whole menu system really couldn't be simpler, despite looking a little ugly. The Professional version also includes background Registry protection and so-called "First Chance Protection". This examines over 50 critical points of your system each time your PC starts up and shuts down to eliminate threats before they have a chance to infiltrate your system. Again, the effect on system resources was miniscule, and startup and shutdown times were basically unaffected.
This program certainly fits the bill for modern anti-spyware protection and £30 is the same price as other top full versions offering real-time protection such as Ad-Aware 2007 Plus, Spyware Doctor 5.0 and Webroot's Spy Sweeper. However, the slimmed-down feel of SUPERAntiSpware is a big plus and there's enough in the Preferences for more experienced users to warrant a purchase.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Matt Barkley followed Mark Sanchez at USC and set school records in nearly every statistical passing category.
The former Trojans are teammates now, and they're battling for the same job.
Sanchez, a 2009 first-round pick who led the New York Jets to consecutive AFC championship games in his first two NFL seasons, signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles in March. Nick Foles is the starter after a sensational breakout year, so Sanchez will compete with Barkley for the backup spot.
''If my role is going to be to help Nick get ready for the season, help Nick get ready for Week 1 or preseason games, I'm going to be ready for whatever they need me to do,'' Sanchez said during his first organized team activities with his new team. ''It's nice to be with somebody like Nick who really works hard, who wants to compete, who wants to throw a couple extra after practice.''
Sanchez spent last season on injured reserve after tearing the labrum in his right shoulder in a preseason game. Geno Smith took over as the starter for the Jets, and they signed Michael Vick from the Eagles early in free agency, making Sanchez expendable.
He quickly landed in Philadelphia, where he gets a chance to play in Chip Kelly's up-tempo offense. Sanchez saw it in college from the opposite sideline when Kelly coached at Oregon.
''I think what they did last year was just the tip of the iceberg for these guys,'' Sanchez said. ''If we continue to work, if we continue to improve, that was the real enticing thing.''
Barkley was pressed into action as a rookie when Foles and Vick were injured last year. He threw four interceptions and lost a fumble in four quarters over two games.
He's far more comfortable this time around.
''It feels like my offense now,'' he said. ''Last year, it felt like it was Oregon's offense. It feels like the offense that I've been running for a while now. All of the calls, all the checks, it just comes to you quickly without having to think about it now.''
Barkley could've been a top-five pick if he left school after his junior year, but he returned as a Heisman Trophy front-runner with a chance to lead USC to a national championship. Neither happened, and Barkley finished his career watching his teammates play in a bowl game from the sideline with his arm in a sling after a shoulder injury.
There were questions about his arm strength last year, but Barkley said he's pain-free and feels fine now.
''I feel like I have more torque, more velocity on the ball,'' he said. ''I feel confident in being able to put it anywhere I need to.''
Barkley rewrote the conference record book during a USC-record 47 starts over four seasons, becoming the Pac-12's leader in touchdown passes, yards passing, completions and total offense. He impressed Kelly in four games against Oregon and was selected in the fourth round.
Foles, a third-round pick by Andy Reid just a year earlier, began the year as Vick's backup before taking over in October. Foles led the Eagles to the NFC East title and threw 29 touchdowns and only two interceptions in 11 starts, including a playoff loss to New Orleans. He also had the third-highest passer rating (119.2) in league history.
But with injuries always a risk, Kelly wanted depth behind Foles.
''With the quarterback specifically, I've said it all along you better have two,'' Kelly said. ''You look at Aaron Rodgers. Peyton Manning missed a year. Tom Brady missed a year.''

QE3 isn't doing income investors any favors, and that could be a boon to some real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Sure, the Federal Reserve's third round of quantitative easing should give all sorts of risk-assets a lift, from energy and food futures to the broader stock market. But by targeting the mortgage-backed securities market — with open-ended purchases of $40 billion a month — equity REITs could deliver even better returns.
Fitch Ratings, the No. 3 credit rating agency after Moody's (NYSE:MCO) and Standard & Poor's (NYSE:MHP), said that if QE3 works as intended, equity REITs would likely benefit approximately 12 to 24 months down the road.
"We believe ownership and long-term financing of commercial assets ties equity REIT performance closely to the general economy," Fitch writes. "If the plan maintains or causes a decline in long-term U.S. Treasury rates, we would expect a drop in all-in borrowing costs for REITs."
Lower rates wouldn't just make borrowing costs drop for REITs, but would also make income for investors even harder to scare up. Squeezing investors out of bonds and into stocks is a big-part of what QE is supposed to do. At any rate, lower rates could spur more investors to allocate money to REITS, Fitch notes, in no small part because REITs' stable dividends will compare even more favorably to other income (or rather, lack thereof) investments.
REITs offer not only the chance of price appreciation, but they're required to return most of their cash to shareholders, making for some enticing payouts. Just as equity-income investors have been gorging on dividend stocks in their hunger for yield, REITs have also found themselves featured prominently on the menu.
Equity REITs invest in and own their own properties, with the rents providing the bulk of revenues. That's the class of REIT Fitch sees as benefiting the most from QE3 — if it works.
The easiest and safest way for investors to gain cheap, diversified exposure to equity REITs is through the Vanguard REIT Index ETF (NYSE:VNQ). With an expense ratio of 0.1%, VNQ is unbeatable on fees. The category average is 0.43%, according to data from fund-tracker Morningstar.
It's also the largest REIT ETF, with more than with $15 billion in assets, and it has yielded a healthy 3.24% over the trailing 12 months.
Meanwhile, VNQ has generated a total return (that is, price gains plus dividends) of more than 20% for the year-to-date, beating the S&P 500's total return by 2 percentage points.
Of course, if you're looking to take on more risk, you could go cherry-picking among individual names. As InvestorPlace contributor Chris Johnson notes, "QE3 will focus the 'Bernanke Put' on the housing market and related stocks."
That leaves some high-yielding REITs set to outperform, according to Johnson Research Group, including Duke Realty (NYSE:DRE), which currently yields 4.3%, and Plum Creek Timber Holdings (NYSE:PCL), which currently yields 3.8%.
Still, for safety's sake, you're probably better off going with the Vanguard's VNQ ETF, where diversification will stand you in good stead.
All in all, QE3 might continue to give REITs a lift because of the paucity of competing income-generating assets out there. But the part where REITs do well because QE3 spurs on the recovery? That's very much in doubt.
As of this writing, Dan Burrows did not own a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

NEW ORLEANS — Not long after Nick Montana pulled off his helmet, he was approached by fans who'd descended from the stands after Tulane's recent spring game, hoping to meet the new quarterback with the famous last name and familiar face.
NEW ORLEANS — Not long after Nick Montana pulled off his helmet, he was approached by fans who'd descended from the stands after Tulane's recent spring game, hoping to meet the new quarterback with the famous last name and familiar face.
"You look like your dad," one said, and Montana produced polite smile and nodded, as if he'd heard that countless times before.
He signed his name to a white-and-green Tulane jersey worn by a young boy. An adult fan then pulled out a couple of Joe Montana football cards, asking for signatures on those as well. Again, the son of the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback obliged.
Montana understands the source of the adulation and tries to handle it gracefully. Still, he feels he hasn't really earned it and doesn't seem entirely comfortable with the expectations that come with being the son of a four-time Super Bowl winner — and playing the same position.
"I've lived with it my whole life. I'm used to it," Montana said. "I tend to think people make a bigger deal about it than it is, so I just try to be a college student, playing football just like any of the other guys on the team."
The fact is, Montana still has a lot to prove at the Division I level. His first go-around at Washington didn't go so well.
After a redshirt freshman season, he was beaten out by Keith Price for the starting job in 2011, then opted to play a season in junior college near home in Southern California before giving college football's highest division another shot.
Montana chose Tulane, where he'll pursue a business degree and play home games next season in the Superdome, where his father won one of his Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers over John Elway's Denver Broncos in 1990.
Of course, the stands won't be nearly as full, or the stakes as high.
Tulane does not play in a major BCS conference and would be fortunate to crack the top 10 in the national rankings even if it went undefeated — never mind that the Wave went 2-10 in Conference USA last season, extending a bowl drought that dates back to 2002.
Montana, however, said he believes in second-year coach Curtis Johnson, a former receivers coach with the Super Bowl-winning New Orleans Saints in 2009. Montana likes the pro-style offense at Tulane and said his priorities have changed as he's matured.
"A lot of it was, my freshman year, I came in with the wrong mentality, I guess, just loving college. So I feel like I've grown up a lot more," Montana added. "Seeing CJ, the offense he runs and the coaches he has around him, (Tulane) was a hard place to pass up."
Johnson said Montana will have to earn the starting job by beating out redshirt freshman Devin Powell in August camp.
Yet the coach added that he sought out the younger Montana because "he's a winner" with "good pedigree."
"Nick has a lot of intangibles, a lot like Joe," Johnson said. "He can escape. You saw him run around a bit, good touch passer, can move in and out of the pocket. He does some of the stuff that his dad does."
Nick Montana threw a 4-yard scoring pass in the spring game in which he rolled right and lofted a pass to Justyn Shackleford in the back of the end zone, drawing immediate comparisons, albeit lightheartedly, to his father hitting Dwight Clark for "the catch" in the 1982 NFC title game against Dallas.
"It reminds me, yeah," a laughing Johnson said of the scoring pass. "I just hope I see more of them."
Montana later showcased his mobility with a short touchdown run.
Last season at Mount San Antonio College in Walnut, Calif., Montana passed for 2,652 yards and 22 touchdowns, and his team won its first 11 games before losing in the Southern California Junior College championship.
Since Montana enrolled at Tulane in January, his new teammates have noticed his father showing up at various football functions, and they've been delighted to see the former star whose career mostly predated their births, but whose highlights they've seen in NFL Films videos.
"He's one of the best to ever play," Tulane receiver Ryan Grant said. "It's awesome to have his son here and it's awesome to see him around whenever he comes in town."
The younger Montana described his father as someone who, while proud of his past, chooses to live in the present. He never looked for excuses to regale his sons with stories of his playing days at Notre Dame or in the NFL, and never pushed his sons to play football, never mind quarterback.
"He always had a laid-back approach, so it would always have to be me asking him, 'Can we go throw?'" Nick Montana said. "He's always been that way where he never tried to get involved with it unless we wanted him to."
Montana hopes to play in the NFL. In that respect, Tulane was not such a curious choice; three former Green Wave quarterbacks — Shaun King, Patrick Ramsey and J.P. Losman — have played in the NFL in the past 15 years.
Also, he arrives as optimism about Tulane's football future is rising. Johnson has improved the ratings of Tulane's recruiting classes. Meanwhile, a new on-campus stadium — close to where the old Tulane Stadium hosted numerous Sugar Bowls and three Super Bowls — is scheduled to open in 2014.
Now those who hope to see Tulane competitive again view Montana's arrival as another encouraging sign. "He has a great personality, great character," said Grant, who caught a 17-yard pass over the middle from Montana in the spring game. "He has great form — a nice spiral. He can throw the ball. I'm glad to have him here."

Superior Court Judge E. Susan Garsh will not recuse herself from the Aaron Hernandez murder case, disappointing the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, which argued she is biased against one of its lead prosecutors.
Garsh said she is not biased toward prosecutors, and added that media scrutiny will not affect how she approaches the case.
Superior Court Judge E. Susan Garsh will not recuse herself from the Aaron Hernandez murder case, disappointing the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, which argued she was antagonistic against one of its lead prosecutors.
"I harbor no bias against the commonwealth," Garsh said following a motion hearing Monday in Fall River Superior Court. Garsh added that she was confident in her ability to be fair and impartial.
"A person aware of the facts and circumstances could not reasonably question my impartiality," said Garsh, who also disagreed with prosecutors who said media coverage would undermine the case's integrity with her on the bench.
Garsh said the court does not allow attorneys to use the media as a device to remove judges they do not like.
"Publicity alone cannot create reasonable doubt of a judge's impartiality," Garsh added.
Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter said his office will not appeal the judge's ruling. Sutter said he will take Garsh "at her word" that she will be fair to prosecutors.
Sutter also said he did not believe that Garsh — who he described as "an eminent jurist" — was biased against the commonwealth, but rather that she had been "increasingly antagonistic" against First Assistant District Attorney William McCauley during a 2010 murder case in New Bedford.
Meanwhile, McCauley — who is now a lead prosecutor in the Hernandez case — filed written motions in Superior Court saying he did not believe "that Judge Garsh can be free of bias against the commonwealth."
Sutter said McCauley filed the recusal motion in the Hernandez case to be consistent with a similar motion he filed in a 2011 murder case involving a 4-year-old Swansea victim. Garsh did not rule on that motion since she said the case was transferred to a different judge because of a scheduling conflict.
During Monday's hearing, McCauley said Garsh tried to undermine his credibility during the 2010 murder trial of George Duarte — who was ultimately convicted — by twice contradicting his closing arguments, not allowing him to challenge two witnesses who changed their stories, and accusing him of manipulating one witness. McCauley said the judge did not rebuke the defense lawyer when he made inaccurate statements to the jury.
"This was not a motion I filed to judge-shop," McCauley said. "It wasn't to do anything other than bring attention to what I thought was antagonism in a case where we will disagree about certain rulings."
Assistant District Attorney Roger Michael said the district attorney's recusal motion was motivated by the desire to obtain a fair and impartial trial with a verdict that would withstand legal scrutiny.
Michael suggested the media coverage of McCauley's previous criticisms of Garsh would create an "unnecessary distraction."
"I say that with full empathy to your situation," Michael told Garsh.
However, one of Hernandez' lawyers, James Sultan, said the prosecutors' request was "devoid of any factual or legal merit" and said the district attorney's office did not provide specifics to show any alleged antagonism from Garsh.
"It's the kind of broad conclusory allegation that the courts have said is not enough to allow a party to essentially disrupt the system," Sultan said as Hernandez, wearing khakis, a blue blazer and pink tie, sat quietly during the legal arguments. Hernandez, 23, the former New England Patriots star tight end, is charged with murder for the June 17 fatal shooting of Odin Lloyd in North Attleborough.
George Duarte's attorney, J. Drew Segadelli, provided an affidavit to the Hernandez defense team saying that he did not believe Garsh showed favoritism toward the defense. Sultan also noted that Duarte — whose murder conviction is up on appeal — complained about some of Garsh's rulings on evidence.
"As in most cases tried by a judge, there are some rulings that favor one side, and some rulings that favor the other side," Sultan said. "That's the way it goes."
"These are serious charges, your honor, and I think, which go to the very integrity of our system of criminal justice," Sultan added.
Hernandez' lawyer also noted that Garsh never responded to McCauley's public criticisms of her in 2010.
"Any antagonism that exists is unilateral," said Sultan, who also countered the prosecution's publicity argument in saying that media coverage does not get to decide the judge who presides over a case.
"That's not the way our system works," Sultan said. "Thank goodness."

text: Charles Gbeke receives the call October 13, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Vancouver Whitecaps FC announce that striker Charles Gbeke has been called up to Canada's men's national team. The native of Longueuil, Quebec, will join up with Dale Mitchell's squad for Wednesday's 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier versus Mexico in Edmonton, Alberta. The match at Commonwealth Stadium will be Canada's next-to-last in CONCACAF semifinal round Group Two after they were eliminated from contention for South Africa 2010 following Saturday's 3-1 defeat away to Honduras. Gbeke's call-up comes after the forward led the Whitecaps to their second United Soccer Leagues First Division championship in three seasons with both goals in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Puerto Rico Islanders at Swangard Stadium. The 30-year-old's efforts earned him the USL-1 Championship Final's Most Valuable Player award. The six-foot-two, 210-pound forward earned his first international cap for Canada in a 1-0 away victory over Martinique on January 30. He also appeared for Canada in a 2-0 friendly win over Danish club Vejle Boldklub in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on February 3. Born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, but raised in Montreal, Quebec, Gbeke returned to the Whitecaps for a fourth stint with the club when he was traded to Vancouver from former club Montreal Impact for midfielder Tony Donatelli and an undisclosed financial amount on June 30. Gbeke went on to record three goals and two assists in 14 regular season appearances for the Whitecaps for 586 minutes. During the USL-1 playoffs, Gbeke appeared in all five matches for the Whitecaps, making four starts, and had two goals and two assists during Vancouver's successful postseason run. Canada's World Cup qualifier versus Mexico kicks off from Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium at 6:00 p.m. PT and can be seen live on Rogers Sportsnet Pacific and West regions. Previous Next

The State Convention of 1909
The Baptists were coming! The Baptists were coming! It was a grand week in Dublin. Some seven to eight hundred bible toting, hymn singing and money spending Baptist messengers and officials descended on the Emerald City for a week of worship, reaffirmation and business doings. Newspapers asserted that the congregation constituted the greatest gathering of so many distinguished laymen and ministers in the eighty-eight year history of the Georgia Baptist Convention.
In order to handle eight hundred visitors in a city of five thousand people, seemingly impossible arrangements needed to be made. Obviously there weren't enough hotel rooms to accommodate that many people, so the local Baptists enlisted the aid of their Methodist, Catholic, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Christian brethren. Their pleas were met although each host family was required to board and perhaps feed several guests in their homes for at least four nights. That's when an army of ladies sprang into action. They scrubbed their homes, the church, and most of the city clean of trash, dust and filth. Kitchens were busy non-stop for days leading up to the big event.
The owners of the Four Seasons Department Store, the city's largest establishment,
rearranged their furniture section and set up a writing room for those who wanted to open their mail and write letters.
The local church was ready. With a new edifice housing one of the finest new churches in the state, the sanctuary was crammed with people. Many of the three hundred and eighty-three voting members stood along the walls and in the rear of the sanctuary.
One of the convention's highlights came before the opening invocation. Special trains arrived during the day on Monday, but late in the afternoon, many had not yet arrived. A chartered train from Macon ran into trouble along the Macon, Dublin, and Savannah Railroad at the 18-mile post outside of Macon. When the train's tender car came off the track, the entire train skidded along cross ties for all too long a distance, coming to a halt just before it fell into a deep ravine. Despite the long delay, rail traffic in Dublin during the day was a spectacle within itself. Part of the fanfare was the large crowd of the curious and the criminal. Dr. C.H.S. Jackson had his cherished gold watch and fob, a gift of the faculty of Bessie Tift College, lifted from his pocket as he left his train car.
The convention came to order on the morning of November 16, 1919. Local attorney G.H. Williams issued a cordial welcome to the crowded worship house. Georgia governor Joseph M. Brown was expected to attend, but his name does not appear in the published accounts of the proceedings. Among the dignitaries were Railroad Commissioner George Hillyer, ex-congressman C.L. Moses, future governor Clifford Walker, and an unnamed justice of the Georgia Supreme Court. Conspicuously absent were ministers of other local churches. Their absence was not a spurn to a courtesy invitation, but of the five major denominations, only the Methodist position was filled. Even the pulpit of the host church was empty. But, former and well beloved pastor Allen Fort returned to Dublin to host the event.
A second highlight came early in the convention when President William J. Northern asked the assembly to accept his resignation. The former governor of Georgia asked for "new blood" in the organization's leadership. His hearing was not as good as it used to be.
Governor Northern asked and was granted permission to address the Negroes of Dublin, who were engaged in their fall fair across town. It would be the first time in twenty-five years that Northern was absent, albeit temporarily, from the Baptist convention.
Northern may have had a hidden agenda in asking to be excused from the proceedings. The convention's most heated moment came during a discussion of the church's role in including Negroes in their mission work. When he returned, the Governor rose to speak and proposed increases in the spreading of the Gospel to a large proportion of the state's residents. "I would rather see a million Negroes in the South converted than to see the conversion of two million Japanese, Chinese, or savages on some remote island," Northern proclaimed. "It would mean more to God and more to the South," he added. Keeping his speech calm and dignified and fearing that his pleas would fall on deaf ears, Northern beseeched the assembly that "nothing is being done."
Dr. J.J. Bennett, Secretary of the State Board, rose to counter Northern's accusations that the mandates of the previous convention in Valdosta were in fact being carried out. Dr. Bennett responded with an equally dignified, but highly vigorous, rebuttal claiming that Negroes were not being neglected. He attempted to substantiate his claim by pointing out the fact that the highest percentage of Negroes were Baptists.
The temperance question arose as it always did in the convention. There wasn't a drop of controversy on the subject of beer and liquor. As the members had decided in all previous meetings, drinking was a sin. The delegates decided that the drive for near beer was not acceptable under any circumstances.
With the venerable Governor Northern out of contention for the election as the new President, former Georgia governor Joseph M. Terrell and T.J. Lawson were nominated. Rev. Turner Smith, of Dublin, then submitted the name of Dr. S.Y. Jameson of Macon. After Messers Terrell and Lawson withdrew their names, Jameson won the election. Dublin's F.H. Rowe was selected as one of four vice-presidents for the upcoming year.
Rev. O.A. Copeland gave the main sermon of the convention. His topic, "The Purpose of God in the Individual's Life," was well received. Dr. R.J. Willingham, Secretary of the Southern Baptist Conventions Foreign Board of Missions, issued a strong plea for more workers to spread the word of the Gospel. When the more business oriented proceedings were completed, the attendees adjourned for a fine meal before reassembling at the Chautaugua Auditorium at the corner of South Monroe and West Madison streets. The meeting hall, which would house more than a thousand people, afforded the opportunity for local Baptists and the families of the delegates to attend the services.
When new president Jameson's Friday afternoon address ended, the congregation paid their respects to their cordial hosts and made their way through the swarms to board homebound trains.
In hailing the event, a writer for The Christian Index, the official organ of the Southern Baptists, wrote "The beautiful and spacious house of worship and the cordial hospitality of the citizens made Dublin an ideal place for the holding of the convention. The great Chautaugua auditorium afforded the opportunity for the entertainment of large audiences that attended the night services. The hospitality was unbounded."

The advocate general's preliminary opinion is not the final ruling, but the Court generally does follow his advice. We're talking about filtering systems that could be imposed upon ISPs by courts, spurred on by the content industry, of course. The advocate general is clear.
"Advocate General Cruz Villalón considers that the installation of that filtering and blocking system is a restriction on the right to respect for the privacy of communications and the right to protection of personal data, both of which are rights protected under the Charter of Fundamental Rights," Villalón opines, "By the same token, the deployment of such a system would restrict freedom of information, which is also protected by the Charter of Fundamental Rights."
Since this is the highest court in Europe, which bases its rulings on what is, for all intents and purposes, the European constitution, it can't be overruled by a higher court. If the court adopts the opinion of the advocate general, it would strike a major blow to the content industry, which has been trying to limit the freedom of the web - attempts which are of course greeted with joy by governments the world over.
A government - not the individuals within it, but the whole - innately strives to strengthen and extend its power, and since the internet has proven to be a threat to that power by empowering the people, anything that curtails the freedom of the web is welcomed - silently, but sometimes openly - by governments.
Rick Falkvinge, founder of The Pirate Party, points out what the consequences of this possible ruling are. "This means that Eircom can no longer be forced to eavesdrop on its customers to filter out certain parts, and it means that Danish ISPs can no longer be mandated to censor The Pirate Bay and AllOfMP3. Black Internet in Sweden can give the finger to the court order to block The Pirate Bay. Many, many aggressions from the copyright industry stand to just fall flat on their face," he details, "You would think that respecting fundamental rights wouldn't need to go to the highest level, but now it has, and they have been respected."
The only thing that could classify as a loophole is that laws that require ISPs to censor the web can still potentially be enacted, but they must be tested against a set of very strict criteria. Falkvinge, however, claims this isn't really a loophole at all, since the criteria are incredibly strict.
This is very good news for internet users in Europe, and a major win for the freedom of information. It also makes it more difficult for governments to get their filthy, inefficient, and chocking grip on the internet.
"The way forward for the copyright industry appears permanently blocked," Falkvinge concludes, "I hold it as absolutely improbable that they'll get paragraphs in the referred European Charter of Human Rights that puts the copyright monopoly before the sanctity of correspondence, of personal data, and freedom of information."
