The Life We Chose - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with Danny and his colleagues getting ready for a mission. The sergeant comes in and hands the guys 50k to be used for the mission, he also tells them to use reference to good weather as a sign that everything is going fine, and reference to bad weather as something being amiss. They are slated to meet a guy called David Fernandez who is a drug dealer, and from whom they would get the details for a few buyers. Meanwhile, Henry is encouraging Nicky to sing, as he wants to participate in a talent show with her. Fernandez gets into the vehicle of Danny's colleagues, as Danny and Jackie look on from a distance. They drive away followed by Danny. David gives the guys direction on where to go, with Danny following close behind, but just then Danny's vehicle is blocked by a huge oncoming truck, whereas the vehicle with David in it disappears round the corner.
Danny then tries to catch up with them again by trying to hook on to their signal on the radio. The cops meanwhile stop their car at a location as per David's instructions. A hooded guy then enters the vehicle. Danny meanwhile has lost the guys and isn't getting them on the walkie either. Just then Danny and Jackie hear gunshots and rush to the direction from where they heard the shots. Danny and Jackie reach the spot and find both their colleagues shot and lying senseless in their car. Later both men are rushed to the hospital. It turns out David's cap was lying in the car's backseat and a sniffer dog is used to track him down, with the help of the cap. The dog then takes Danny and his team on the trail of the scent, but after reaching a point the dog looses the, much to Danny's frustration.
Meanwhile, Frank is briefed about the whole situation at the hospital, where he has arrived to meet the injured cop detective Cruz, who Frank is informed, might be paralyzed from waste down due to the bullet wounds. Meanwhile the other cop Gates, who was with Cruz in his vehicle, has passed away. Later, Frank arrives at the precinct and tells everyone that, when a cop is killed its personal, and also that, they should keep their eyes and ears open, so they can catch the perpetrators. The sergeant then shows the men at the precinct a video footage from a camera in the undercover car. The hooded man who has entered the car is seen shooting the two undercover cops. David and the hooded man then grab the money and leave.
The sergeant then instructs Danny to catch hold of David's mother, for more information. Nicky in the meanwhile is depressed about what has happened to Gates, as she knows his daughter. Henry tries his best to pacify her. Meanwhile at the precinct, David's mother is brought in for questioning. She tells Jackie she knows nothing. Danny then come in to question her, but is unable to make headway. They then check the mother's call list and see several calls from a particular address right after the shooting. Danny and his men arrive at the address and find David there, shot and lying dead on the floor. Danny later shows David's mother the photograph of his dead body. She on seeing the photo breaks down and tells Danny that David was hooking up with Nelson Ortiz, another drug dealer. Meanwhile, Garret tries his best to make Frank feel better.
Danny and Jackie in the meanwhile, are still feeling guilty about the fact that they weren't there to help protect their colleagues. They then pay Nelson Ortiz a visit. Danny asks Ortiz about the guy who was with David and who actually shot the cops. He also shows Ortiz the photo of David's dead body. He then manages to persuade Ortiz to tell him about the guy Danny calls 'Phantom'. Ortiz tells Danny that the phantom's last name is Washington, and that's all he knows. Later the sergeant tells Danny that the phantom's given name is Donald Washington, and he was one of the youngest crack kingpins of his day. He is also informed that the phantom had an associate called Ray Bell who now runs a barber shop. Danny pays Ray a visit and Ray tells him that, he isn't associated with the phantom anymore. He tells Ray to give him a call he hears or sees anything.
Later, Danny informs Jackie that a guy named Jamal Williams was shot with a 10mm gun just like Danny's colleagues earlier. Turns out William's snitched on the phantom back in the day and hence paid for it. The phantom it seems is on a revenge spree. Danny meanwhile figures out that Ray Bell might also have snitched on the phantom, and hence the phantom might go after him next. Danny later meets Ray and tells him about what he has discovered and that his life is in danger. Just then Ray receives a message from his son, which says that he is hiding because there is an armed man in the house. Danny asks Ray to text his son to open the window, so Danny can enter the apartment. Inside the apartment it is seen that, the phantom has taken Ray's family hostage, but his son isn't there in the room.
Ray meanwhile texts his son as per Danny's instructions. Danny meanwhile reaches the window and signals Ray's son to open the window. Danny then helps the boy out onto the fire escape and enters the apartment through the window. He then makes a noise from inside the bedroom. The phantom then enters the bedroom, but doesn't see Danny as he is hiding behind the door, he looks out of the open window, just as Danny from behind instructs him to drop his weapon or die. The phantom still looking out of the window tells Danny that, he doesn't have the balls to shoot him. He then swiftly turns around, but just as he does, the phantom is shot on the chest by Danny and falls out of the window, and onto a police car that has just arrived. Henry and Nicky meanwhile perform at the talent show.
Frank and Danny too manage to make it to the show, albeit a little late, and just as Frank is about to enter the hall, he gets called back to work. Henry and Nicky meanwhile put up an impressive performance. In the end they receive a thundering applause for their performance. Meanwhile, Frank is asked by a television reporter about what he can tell the media about the perpetrator Donald Washington. He is then asked about how he is managing the force after the tragedy of the two cops being shot at. Frank does his best to give the most apt replies to both the questions.
He also tells the reporter that the NYPD is like a family, and when they lose a family member like they lost Gates, they come together and grieve and then they strengthen their resolve to carry on the best way possible, to honor the memory of the one they have lost. He also tells the reporter that the toughest part of his job is ordering his people out of harm's way. The episode ends at this point.

|The advantages and disadvantages of PWM application
|PWM (Pulse Width Modification) is a traditional light adjusting technology, which uses simple digital pulses to switch on and off LED driver from time to time. The system only needs to supply wide and narrow digital pulses in order to easily change the output for adjusting LED brilliance. The advantage is that the technology is able to provide high quality white light with high efficiency through easy application. But there is a fatal disadvantage: it is susceptible to EMI (electromagnetic interference), sometimes even produces audible noises.

Product Review: 2 Degrees Food Bar
What is a 2 Degree Food Bar?
2 Degrees Food Bar is a new product aimed at the TOMS shoes/health food market. What you will find in this modest-sized bar is plenty of quiona, chia, millet and more than a pinch of generosity. The wrapper brags: "Here at 2 Degrees, we believe that everyday choices can make a big difference. Instead of grabbing just any snack, you can go for one that feeds your hunger and helps do the same for another. That's the power of our one-for-one model: for every 2 Degrees bar you buy, we donate a meal to a hungry child."
DSP Count Raoul
That brings us to the TOMS Shoes angle. This tastier-than-it-should-be Cherry Almond food bar promises to give a meal for a hungry child for every bar sold. That's fantastic. They even have a photo on the back of the wrapper showing a little child tearing into what may be a ready-to-eat meal in a packet. How cool is that? I'll buy this bar if I know it really is feeding a hungry child. Good for you guys. I hope you sell a billion.
DSP Connie
I love the chocolate banana bar— just enough sweetness and plenty of filling fiber. The fact that these bars are GF (gluten-free) makes it even better. If you're looking for a good GF food bar, I highly recommend 2 Degrees bars they, "hit the spot", as my dad used to say. I'll buy them again!
DSP Dixie
A good go-to bar, a little expensive for DSP Dixie unless on sale. Perhaps a little small for my GF husband. I'd buy them just because of their mission to feed children. I'm a sucker like that.
DSP Nurse Kris
Love it! Can't think of a much better/healthier/more generous item to stick in my kid's lunch for "snack time". I do agree with Dixie, they are a bit pricey at roughly three-bucks a bar, but knowing it helps feed another is worth it! As for flavor– fabulous. My fav was the cherry-almond. A word of caution, carry a toothpick 'cause this bar is chock-full of the kind of grains that get stuck in your teeth!
DSP Lovey
I L-O-V-E-D them! Not just because every flavor was delicious and healthy. I felt good eating them. They are a little pricy, but every bar I eat helps feed someone in need. I should note that I am usually not a "bar" fan because most are overly sweet, but these were not. Eating the 2 Degree Food Bar will satisfy your hungry and someone elses in the world too. That is pretty cool!

Two Chinese Rulers Making the Same History?
Owen, Wu, History Today
As Chinese rulers 'behind the screens', the Dowager Empress Ci Xi of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and the present 'Supreme Helmsman', Deng Xiaoping, seem to be poles apart. Ci Xi has gone down in Chinese history as a notorious conservative, while Deng retains a certain reputation for China's current economic reforms. Nevertheless in reality both figures have contributed to the same history. They both permitted two significant advances towards modernisation in Chinese Society, but suppressed the two attendant movements of radical reform and democracy.
The first period of advance, or rather, a movement of Westernisation took place between 1862 and 1894, largely during the period of Ci Xi's dominance. During this time, schools were created for the study of foreign languages, students were sent to study abroad, Western technology and industrialisation were introduced, a modern navy and customs system were set up and the first Chinese foreign service office introduced.
The second period of advance was the reform and opening to the West in the 1980s under Deng's supremacy. During that time China moved towards a market economy and Western technology, management and culture was introduced to a significant extent in a second movement of Westernisation. However, there are other darker parallels - between the fate of the reform of 1898 and the democratic movement of 1989.
In 1895, participants in the imperial examinations at Beijing submitted a written statement to the authority of the Qing, appealing for a politico-social reform. Though their petition was refused, some of the radicals continued to urge upon the rulers the importance of the reform. Soon the young emperor was influenced, being concerned about the nation falling behind the times. Under this impetus reforms got underway in 1898, their main purposes being to adopt Western learning in education, to develop a capitalist economy and to establish a constitutional government.
Unfortunately, the reforms were resisted by hardliners. Ci Xi, stirred by them, undertook operations of suppression with the aid of the Imperial military leaders. With a coup, some of the participants in the reform were killed, some fled the country and some were dismissed from office; and the emperor was confined to his palace until a decade later when he died mysteriously - the day before Ci Xi's own death in November 1908, leading to speculation that he was killed either on her orders or at the hands of hardliners.
Now, the people keep a watchful eye on the fate of the emperor's modern counterpart, Zhao Ziyang, the former premier and a radical reformer, who, since Deng ordered the army to suppress the democratic movement in June of 1989, has been placed under house arrest. Will he be able to survive personally and politically the senile Deng's ultimate demise? Zhao remains a hidden threat to Deng and the hardliners of the Communist Party in particular, not least because of his potential to mobilise world opinion, concerned about his fate. …

Boston Rapper Slaine Also A Part Of 'Cogan's Trade'
A couple casting tidbits on a few projects we've been keeping a very keen eye on.
First up, film and televison vet Max Martini is the latest thesp to join the cast of Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming post-'Hobbit' monster-robot mash-up "Pacific Rim." The actor will star alongside Brits Charlie Hunnam and Idris Elba as well as "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" star Charlie Day, who will all presumably form part of the human resistance against an alien invasion that threatens Earth. Travis Beacham penned the script for Del Toro, with lensing set to get underway this fall for summer 2013 release.
The second directorial effort of "Blue Valentine" helmer Derek Cianfrance, meanwhile, has seemingly found the last piece to its puzzle with newcomer Emory Cohen now on board as the son of Bradley Cooper's policeman-turned-politician character and his wife, played by Greta Gerwig. Cohen will play a drug dealing teen who's resentful of his father and goes on to clash with the son of his father's own rival, played by Dane DeHaan. The film begins shooting later this month with Eva Mendes, Ben Mendelsohn, Ray Liotta, Ali Mahershalalhasbaz and Gabe Fazio all co-starring.
Finally, Boston-based rapper Slaine has managed to score another supporting role in a high profile project after featuring in both of Ben Affleck's directorial efforts to date (he was one of Affleck's crew members in "The Town"). The rapper recently revealed he's played a part in Andrew Dominik's "Cogan's Trade" and, while his role is still unknown, it is seemingly significant enough to have a stunt double.
Also known as George Carroll, Slaine will feature in the stellar ensemble cast including Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, Scoot McNairy, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Garret Dillahunt, Sam Shepard, Bella Heathcote, Vincent Curatola and Ben Mendelsohn with the pic set for a March 2012 release.

Okay, that is suprising to me so I will take my "surely" back. I don't have any experience with any OODBMS systems. I agree that concurrency is one of the fundemental aspects of a database (unless it is just a local single-user cache). If I didn't care about concurrent access I would be tempted to do my prototyping in BerkleyDB or a similar system.

Aviad Glickman
Published: 03.15.11, 22:24 / Israel News

The wife of Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein was questioned by Population and Immigration Authority officials a few days ago over allegations that she employed an illegal migrant worker at the couple's home, Ynet reported Tuesday.
Attorney Raz Nazri, Weinstein's senior aide, said at the time that "we have already asked the state attorney to handle the matter, in the same manner that is standard for other such situations, with the relevant people and institutions and, of course, without any interference by the office of the attorney general."
According to recent reports, prior to his appointment as attorney general Weinstein illegally employed a foreign worker from India for about a year.
The Justice Ministry responded by saying: "It is true that in the past, a foreign worker from India was employed by the Weinstein family. His work was stopped in 2009, before Weinstein was appointed attorney general."
Earlier this week an indictment
was filed against Defense Minister Ehud Barak's wife, Nili Priel, who is suspected of illegally employing a foreign worker at the couple's Tel Aviv apartment.
The indictment, filed by Population and Immigration Authority with the Tel Aviv District Labor Court, says Priel violated the Labor law.

I happened to come into possession of a couple high quality ingredients (cheese and bacon. Surprised? No...me neither) that were aching to be combined in some sort of simple and complementary way. After some research I found Morbiflette (apparently a cousin of Tartiflette). Morbiflette is a potato/cheese/bacon dish which sounded perfect for larding my belly against the impending cold weather.
I have posted about Eats in Stuyvesant plaza before, so you know that I often stop by there to satisfy my stinky cheese desires. The other day I stopped in and bought a beautiful wedge of Morbier cheese. Morbier is an interesting French cheese which was traditionally made with the night's milking topped off by the next morning's with the layers separated by ash.
This cheese is fairly stinky on the stinky cheese scale. I left it in my wife's car for about 15 minutes during a quick errand on the way home. When I returned I definitely checked the baby's diaper before realizing it was the delicious odor of the fromage.
I had also stopped by the Dnipro Market in Cohoes (as you know from this post), so I had some absolutely lovely bacon too.
This is a quick home style dish of the sort that I love, under five ingredients and no fancy technique. Just roughly chop the bacon and throw in a pan until it gives up a little of its grease. Through in an onion, likewise roughly chopped, and fry until golden brown.
Next step is to throw in the potatoes. These should be skinned, boiled until tender but not falling apart, and cut into rounds. Add to the pan and cook further until everything is a good, crisp mess.
Top with thick slices of the Morbier.
Run under a broiler until the cheese melts, Morbier melts very nicely.
And there you have it. A hearty dish for the fall weather. Although this may look like something of a side dish to our twisted American psyches, the Morbiflette is actually substantial enough for a main dish. Wash it down with good beer and open your belt. Then go climb a snowy Alpine peak or something. Needless to say I enjoyed this dish very much.

Yummy - I love crisp potatoes done exactly that way (boiled, mostly cooked, and then crispified). Bacon + cheese = elevated to awesomeness.ReplyDelete

I just made this dish for a Valentine's Day brunch. It was outstanding, almost shockingly good.ReplyDelete
I added a bit of white wine at the same time as the potatoes and cranked the flame to boil off the liquid and alcohol. That worked out wonderfully.

Reports linking common foods like burnt toast and low-fat salad with increased cancer risk have little statistical significance and should be treated with caution, US scientists have warned.
"When we examined the reports, we found many had borderline or no statistical significance," said Dr Jonathan Schoenfeld of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
Schoenfeld and colleagues say trials have repeatedly failed to find effects for observational studies which had initially linked various foods to cancer, 'The Observer' reported.
Initial studies have often triggered public debates "rife with emotional and sensational rhetoric that can subject the general public to increased anxiety and contradictory advice".
Recent reports have linked colouring in fizzy drinks, low-fat salad dressing, burnt toast and tea to elevated cancer risk.
The cancer risks involved in excess alcohol consumption are not disputed by scientists, but other links have been less easy to substantiate.
To examine the implications of these reports, researchers selected ingredients at random from the Boston Cooking-School Cook Book.
The 40 foods that had been linked to cancer risks included flour, coffee, butter, olives, sugar, bread and salt, tomatoes, lemon, onion, celery, carrot and lamb, together with more unusual ingredients, including lobster, tripe, veal, mace, cinnamon and mustard, the report said.
"We found that, if we took one individual study that finds a link with cancer, it was very often difficult to repeat that in other studies. People need to know whether a study linking a food to cancer risk is backed up before jumping to conclusions," said Schoenfeld.

STOP PRESS, 7 AUGUST 2008: It has been reported recently that the Iranian authorities have decided to halt the execution of stoning sentences pending a review of cases. Judiciary spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi is said to have stated that four people currently sentenced to stoning will have their sentences commuted: two will have their sentences changed to 10 years imprisonment while two others will be lashed following judicial review. The identities of the four people have not been revealed.
When contacting the Iranian authorities, do acknowledge this development but please continue to write and urge them to release Kobra Najjar, commute all stoning sentences and remove all provisions that discriminate and perpetuate discrimination against women, including those regarding adultery. Stoning still remains a part of Iran's Penal Code.
Equality Now is urgently concerned about Kobra Najjar, an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery who lost her final appeal for amnesty. Iranian women's rights activists working on her case report that Kobra has exhausted all domestic legal remedies and that her execution by stoning could happen any time.
Kobra is a victim of domestic violence who was forced into prostitution by her abusive husband in order to support his heroine addiction. He was murdered by one of Kobra's "clients" who sympathized with her plight. Kobra has already served 8 years in prison as an accessory to her husband's murder. The man who murdered her husband also served 8 years in prison and is now free after paying blood money and undergoing 100 lashes, while Kobra faces imminent stoning to death for adultery - the prostitution her husband forced upon her.
Equality Now is also concerned about recent reports of seven other women and one man, all accused of adultery sentenced to death by stoning, whose executions are also reported to be possible at any time. In Iran, adultery is the only crime punishable by stoning.
Stoning violates the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) to which Iran is a state party. The ICCPR clearly prohibits torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and punishment. It also limits the imposition of the death penalty "only for the most serious crimes." No criminal or other act warrants violent and inhumane punishments such as flogging and stoning. Moreover, adultery is a private act and should not incur criminal punishment. Protection from arbitrary or unlawful interference under the ICCPR has been found by the United Nations Human Rights Committee to include consensual sexual activity between adults in private.
Please write to the Iranian officials below, calling for Kobra's immediate release, the commutation of all sentences of death by stoning and the prohibition by law of all cruel, inhuman and degrading punishments in accordance with Iran's obligations under the ICCPR. Urge the officials also to initiate a comprehensive review of the Civil and Penal Codes of Iran to remove all provisions that discriminate and perpetuate discrimination against women, including those regarding adultery and fornication, in accordance with Iran's own constitutional provision for equality before the law.

It definitely looks as if Lady Gaga and sometimes boyfriend Taylor Kinney are on. The couple were spotted last night (July 23, 2012) enjoying some dinner at her dad's restaurant Joanne in the Upper West Side.
The "Bad Romance" singer wore a large pair of black and red high heels alongside an oversized blue dress with gold emblems as she walked close by The Vampire Diaries actor.
The couple were alleged to have broke up back in May and rekindled their romance in recent weeks.
Some fans got to hear some new Lady Gaga music which emitted from Lady Gaga's SUV. In barely audible footage posted online, the dance track plays in the background — the majority of what is heard in the video is the club-banging beat. Gaga sits in the backseat of an SUV as fans call the track "amazing." The 38-second clip ends with the Mother Monster driving away from her fans.
Take a look at the chaos surrounding that moment below.

Later, Gomez was elected to a post at the renowned Louisiana House of Representatives. While in that position Gomez worked alongside David C. Treen to build the Cajundome. In 1978, as president of the well known Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, Gomez fervently began initiating talks for constructing a stadium just for the Cajuns.
In August 2011, the Ragin' Cajun Network was set up by the Louisiana – Lafayette. This fantastic network is has several radio as well as television networks embedded in to give access to the sporting events of the Cajuns.

Southampton students have today voted to stay out of the National Union of Students (NUS) by a huge majority of 73.4%.
Results were announced by the Returning Officer with support from the referendum working group in SUSU this evening. The results for 'No' were 3595 votes whilst those for 'Yes' were 1296 votes.
A total of 4891 votes were counted over the voting period of just today. This turnout exceeded SUSU's target of 3000 votes.
Southampton has remained out of the NUS for 10 years and will continue to remain independent.
Both campaign teams worked extremely hard but Southampton students ultimately decided the outcome.

The Truth
Its one thing about being able to match-up styles in the head, but one uncertainty is the mental strength of the fighter...
That is one compelling aspect about our sport. You never know how a fighter is going to handle sustained pressure, or placed to the brink of a "Fight or Flight" situation. You don't know whether they are going to decide to make a brave stand at that brink, ala Timothy Bradley, or start running on their bike, to fight another day (or round).
You don't know whether a boxer will be able to sustain his mental strength and discipline and continuously move out of position, or just crack under pressure and "shell" up on the ropes and not move. And sometimes it happens not because they're hurt or tired. But that they have fighter spirits and want to make a stand for respect once in awhile, they want to trade and not always have to run and play tag.
Garcia and Rios was counting on Alvarado to switch into this mode and stay close and fight. This time, Alvarado had a definitive gameplan, and though getting suckered in for awhile in the 2nd round, was able to keep pulling back and drop power, while limiting time spent close.
At the time, Crawford isnt fully tested, though we did get to see a good portion of him vs Prescott, who i consider as a B/B+ gatekeeper. Of course Prescott doesnt have the great abiity to cut off the ring and maintain continuous pressure either... Mebbe we'll get to see this fight someday

I would like for each user on my app to have a dedicated vanity url in the format http://user1.example.com. How can I implement this in Play Application. Thank you.
You can use virtual hosts. From release notes on Play 1.1:
The routes file now supports Host matching. this can be useful if action parameters must be extracted from the host parameter. For example, for a SAAS application, you could use:
and then automatically retrieve the client value as for any other request parameter:
That should do it.
In a controller method, you can get the domain name from request.domain variable. You can then parse the user name or whatever identifier you want to use from the domain name using something like:
If you plan to use this subdomain check in several methods, you can make a separate domain check method that has @play.mvc.Before annotation and put the user object to renderArgs for later use in the actual invoked controller method and template:
You can also add this domain checker to a separate controller class and include it in every controller where you need it by using @play.mvc.With annotation for the class.
I was getting null values and the domain name kept changing to localhost:9000 until I solved it using

At USD 110 per barrel oil price, gas will cost USD 14.23 per mmBtu.
Sources said the company has also proposed to price gas it plans to produce from coal seams, called coal-bed methane (CBM), from Sohagpur blocks in Madhya Pradesh according to the same formula.
Its CBM pricing formula as well as Essar Oil's demand for USD 4.2 per mmBtu price of CBM from its Raniganj block in West Bengal had been referred Rangarajan for review.
The EGoM had in 2007 fixed USD 4.2 per mmBtu price of KG-D6 gas for first five years of production. RIL began KG-D6 gas production in April 2009.
The formula proposed by RIL for sale of gas from April 1, 2014 is the same at which Petronet LNG Ltd, the nation's largest liquefied natural gas importer, buys 7.5 million tonnes per annum (30 million standard cubic metres per day) of LNG from RasGas of Qatar.
Sources said while the six-member Rangarajan Committee is looking into the shape of future Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) as well as structure of gas pricing, Rangarajan as a one-man panel has been asked to look into the CBM pricing.

Bill Fulton: City makeover-in-chief
New planning director aims to speed up plan changes but leave most places alone
Q: What's an example of a neighborhood that you think need particular focus?
A: High on my list is to initiate and do a (new) plan on Mission Valley. Mission Valley is a big complicated mess, but if you redeveloped the opportunity sites in Mission Valley in the right way (such as the shopping centers, Qualcomm Stadium and Riverwalk golf course), it could have a transformational effect on the entire region.
Q:So many old neighborhoods wish they had the parks, libraries and lush landscaping evident in new neighborhoods that were planned under former Mayor Pete Wilson's growth-management policies of the 1970s and '80s.
A: That is the biggest challenge facing San Diego. There really is a divide between pre-growth management and post-growth management neighborhoods. It is true that many of the old neighborhoods are park poor and (lack) many other amenities the new neighborhoods have that these old ones don't. We have to examine what are the things most important to older neighborhoods, what can truly transform them and make a huge difference in the quality of life.
Q: You said San Diego is greater than many of its residents realize?
A: This is an extraordinary city. It has a spectacular natural setting. It has a century of well-planned neighborhoods and public facilities. It has amazing open space that was developed in large part through the species (and habitat conservation) program. Its strength and breadth and depth as a city are not always truly understood by the people who live here. It's a consistently prosperous place. It is one of the world's leading innovation hubs. It is a city, amazingly enough, where even in the poorest neighborhood, you have spectacular views. San Diego has to reinvent itself for the first time to become a 21st century city, to become more urban, yes, in some parts of town, but in a way that really shows how resilient and flexible and sustainable we can be -- and that's something we've never had to be before. That's the most exciting thing about being here now and I think this city is as well positioned to face that challenge as any city in the country.

TCR: What are your tools of trade?
Film, my eyes, my hands, and the darkroom. The cameras vary, but I have one on me at all times.
TCR: You made the short clip for Manifest, "Self Evident Truths," which again, was beautifully shot. I know they were stills, but it worked great. Do you think being able to handle a still camera can equate into being able to use a video camera? And if so, do you see yourself getting into filmmaking at any point?
Totally. If you see in frames, it can be applied to anything. I was an actor for a really long time, which segued into screenwriting, which may segue back into acting, and potentially cinematography. Who knows! I've operated my fair share of video cameras, and I'm writing a script at the moment, for which I'm shooting my own inspiration clips….
TCR: You can write, too. So maybe screenplay, direction, and shot by iO Wright?
Without a doubt in my mind…
TCR: How did you get in the mix for the opening of The Hole?
Kathy Grayson and I have a friend in common. She calls him the teen. I've known him since he was really a teen. He's a little troublemaker from out of town, who recently popped up at my elbow one night at a restaurant called the Pink Pony. So Kathy and I communicated about him, and I guess the little f**ker showed her my work, because next time we ran into eachother, she'd just gotten the keys to the hole, and we talked about the theme of her first show, and agreed that I'd come by and show her a concept for how my work fit into it. I did, and she liked it, and there you go. It pays off to be good to people.
TCR: What work do you have at the show?
The concept was unfinished works, so I put in four darkroom test strips. When you work in the darkroom – (when you're an analogue dinosaur, i should say)- before you make a print, you rip a strip of paper off and test the exposure you're printing at, creating these lines going up the image (underexposed, underexposed, perfect, overexposed, etc.). The test strips can look super beautiful as objects in themselves, and they are very much unperfected, unfinished photographs. I also chose four images from an unfinished series I'm working on, about this new culture of gay/bisexual/gender ambiguous culture, and we taped the images up, unframed, so the fibre in the paper is curling over the duration of the show too. It was an organized mess.
TCR: Do you think the Hole is going to fill the Deitch to LA void?
Oh, I dont know. Everyone has to do their own thing, and Kathy and Meghan are killing it in their own right. The branding of the Hole is genius, and will only expand. They're not trying to be Deitch Projects 2, and they won't be.
TCR: Any more shows coming up?
Yeah, I've got my first solo show at Fuse Gallery that opens September 18th. It's making me into a crazy person, because I'm trying to print almost all of the work myself. Then I've got something else in December, but lets talk about closer to then. 😉

Urban Outfitters is no stranger to controversy – last year, feminist activist Shelby Knox urged a 'girlcott' of the store because she deemed T-shirt slogans like "Eat less" to be hurtful to women. But now they're causing controversy in another way. An eagle-eyed reader emailed The Gloss when he noticed that several photos from the Urban website were shot in Israel. (Since then, Urban has posted a collection of photos from their Tel Aviv shoot as well as candids taken by models on their Facebook page.) While there's certainly nothing wrong with using Israel's storied landscape as a backdrop for their clothes, it rings false in light of the fact that Urban's reputation in Israel isn't the best.

Platform– iPhone
Developer– PopCap Games
Release date– August 20, 2008
Price– $2.99
Average rating– 4/5
Bejeweled is the most well known match three game to date. It's a classic internet game that has been ported to multiple systems. Bejeweled 2 definitely lives up to the original. Providing three game modes, improved graphics, and an affordable price tag, it is just what would be expected from a high quality developer such as PopCap Games. While the gameplay remains the same, so does the fun that it brings.
For those who have never experienced a Bejeweled game, the object is to swap gems to make matches of three or more. This is done by simply swiping a gem in the desired direction, or tapping one gem, then another. This simplistic goal is what makes this game so addictive. You'll always want to play just one more game to try to beat your high score.
Bejeweled 2 features three modes of play; classic, action, and endless. In classic mode, your goal is to make matches and fill the gauge at the bottom of the screen, advancing a level when you do so. In action mode, that gauge starts going down, slowly at first, then faster. The only way to prevent it from ending your game is to make matches. Endless mode is more relaxing, making matches at your own pace.
Whichever mode you prefer, there are a few ways to achieve the high score. The easiest is to make matches with more than three gems in them. Doing this makes a special gem that, when matched, causes an explosion that destroys surrounding gems. Another is to make consecutive matches; one set falling down and letting another match be made in the same turn.
If you're a fan of the Bejeweled franchise, or just match three games, you should definitely check out Bejeweled 2. The graphics and sound effects compliment the traditional gameplay perfectly, providing hours of gem swapping fun.

It is a dangerous conflict of interest for any government to control an education industry which shapes the hearts and minds of future voters. School choice is crucial to breaking the state monopoly and restoring parents' God-given right to direct the education of their children – which is why the Left so vehemently opposes it.
Though he sends his own children to private school, Obama cares more about pleasing his Big Labor campaign donors than he does about giving poor children a chance to escape failing schools and have the same opportunity as his daughters.
Jason R. Riley opines at the Wall Street Journal:
In his State of the Union address last month, President Obama spoke about the importance of kids staying in school and even urged states to raise the dropout age to 18. So it's passing strange that his new $3.8 trillion budget provides no new money for a school voucher program in Washington, D.C., that is producing significantly higher graduation rates than the D.C. public school average.
The Opportunity Scholarship Program offers vouchers to low-income students to attend private schools. A 2010 study published by Patrick Wolf of the University of Arkansas found that the scholarship recipients had graduation rates of 91%. The graduation rate for D.C. public schools was 56%, and it was 70% for students who entered the lottery for a voucher but didn't win.
Because the president's teachers union allies are opposed to school choice for poor people, Mr. Obama ignores or downplays these findings. He repeatedly has tried to shutter the program, even though it is clearly advancing his stated goal of increasing graduation rates and closing the black-white achievement gap.

Minnesota brewers racked up the medals at the Great American Beer Festival held in Denver, Colorado October 2nd through 4th. Summit's often underrated EPA took bronze. Indeed's Mexican Honey took silver. The barrel-aged Buffalo Bock earned a bronze for Town Hall. Bent Paddle took home a well-deserved bronze medal for 14° ESB. And Badger Hill and Steel Toe both won gold – Badger hill for their White IPA and Steel Toe for Wee Heavy.
Indeed, the Heartland region as a whole did well. Wisconsin garnered seven medals. Illinois took an impressive nine. And Iowa earned two. I'm thinking that our upper-Midwestern states will not be considered beer flyover country for much longer.
Hops are still king in American beer. India pale ale was the contest category with the largest number of entries for the umpteenth straight year. There was no shortage of hoppy beers in the festival hall. Nearly every brewery had a hopped-up pale ale, IPA or double IPA. White IPAs, black IPAs, red IPAs, Belgian IPAs, and session IPAs were also in abundance. The increasing demand for hops has led to rumors of an impending hop shortage, but there was no sign of it in Denver.
Hops may still be on top, but the number of sour beers in the hall suggested that a slow-building trend is now finally blossoming. Beers fermented with 100% brettanomyces yeast were easy to find. The number of all-sour breweries like Jolly Pumpkin or Trinity Brewing out of Colorado Springs is growing. There were barrel-aged sours, stainless fermented sours, and spontaneously fermented sours. They ranged in profile from delicate and vinous to aggressively funky. The lovely thing is that they were mostly very good. In past years at GABF tasting sours has been an exercise in dumping. The few good examples were overwhelmed by others loaded with foot-funk and vinegar. This year I only tasted one or two dumpers. At the Trinity Brewing booth the brewer told me that I would taste all of their beers. I countered that I would taste one or two. I tasted them all.
Saison was another big trend at this year's festival. Suffice it to say there were a lot of them – spiced, unspiced, strong, black, and every other way. Through the course of the weekend I easily tasted more saisons and sours than any other styles.
Historical revivals? That trend is growing as well. Several examples of the salty-sour gose style were to be found. Berliner weisse with and without fruit was everywhere. And Austin, Texas based Live Oak Brewing Company had a very respectable Grodziskie, a smoked and slightly sour wheat beer style from Poland.
An unusual tidbit that I noticed was the use of blood oranges in beer. I had several beers made with this fruit from IPA to hefeweizen. My favorite beer of the festival was a blood orange gose from Anderson Valley Brewing Company in Boonville, California. I went back for several samples of this beer during all three sessions that I attended.
Another burgeoning trend that I find particularly exciting is the use of foraged ingredients. A mini-festival held during GABF week called Beers Made by Walking was dedicated to foraged ingredient beers. Breweries like Scratch Brewing from Ava, Illinois or the newly opened Forbidden Root Brewery in Chicago are using a variety of botanicals like walnuts, sassafras, lemon myrtle, burdock root, and even mushrooms to flavor their beer. Scratch Brewing completely rebuffed the hoppy beer thing by bringing a lineup of all gruits. None of their beers contained any hops at all.
Not All Trends Are Good
But it wasn't all rainbows and unicorns at the GABF. There has been a lot of talk in the industry lately about a possible decline in overall quality as the number of breweries mushrooms. 2014 marked the second year in a row that I have noticed a large number of so-so and not-so-good beers in the GABF hall. My mode of operation in the hall is to sample beers mostly from breweries that I have never heard of. I want to know what's going on out there beyond the big names. And to be completely honest, I don't like to wait in line for beer, especially when there are 3000+ other beers available. I tasted a lot of beers that just didn't cut it.
I made a special point of visiting new breweries in the states that I covered in A Perfect Pint's Beer Guide to the Heartland. Of the seven or eight regional newcomers, only one of them – Forbidden Root – was making beer that rose above the level of average homebrew. Fortunately that one was very good.
I was talking to a brewer friend who has judged beer at the competition for many years. He told me that he judged a lot of sub-par entries this year. I asked if this was the norm or something new. He said that this year was markedly different from past years. As new breweries continue to come on line, the industry is going to have to get serious about quality.

Alan Tan
Thank you, Ellen and thank you all for joining us today. It is evident from our earnings release Shanda Games had now delivered four consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth. In the third quarter of 2011 our total net revenues reached historic high, increasing 2.5% quarter-on-quarter and 23.4% year-over-year.
Our solid results, it was profitable that we are having in the right direction and our evolution we are clearly being supported by our strong franchises, strong pipeline, new platform and rising all of the presented. By bringing the mostly innovative and engaging online gaming content along with the mobility to move across our platform. We are developing some of the largest most active online gaming communities in the world. This helps our transition continue to build on the effective implementation of our AAA strategy. As a reminder AAA stands for the three critical elements, All-Star, All-Platform, and All-Region.
Let me start with update on the All-Star components of our strategy. Today more consumers than ever before has been we have and emerging themselves within Virtual Wars and our tremendous game portfolio is certainly driving some of the interest. Our All-Star gaming strategy gives us focus on carrying the best titles through licensing agreements, in-house development and investments in our platform. Of course, whether it is Legend of Immortals or third party games for developing a better rate content. We are very much focused on rolling out promotional activities free games while organizing both out chemical and (inaudible).
In October, we were awarded the Innovative Online Gaming Award and achievement for Outstanding Digital Content Award at the China International Digital Content Exposition. This has reaffirmed our position as an industry leader in both content creation and innovation. I would like to take a few moments to talk in depth about the monetization of the branches in the third quarter. We have exciting games in our pipeline that we have lined up for last quarter of 2011 and first half of 2012. Our all stock strategy is just like our approach to the game business so we tap into new genres that will cater to gamers in China.
In the year-to-date, we are two and we will, were the driving force behind our revenue. The past three quarters have also yielded us strong growth from new games such as AION, Dragon Nest and Legend of Immortals.
Third quarter, Mir II, Woool and the Dragon Nest have contributed 44%, 14% and 13% of total revenue in the third quarter respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase of Mir II's contribution is primarily due to the expansion packs released to mark the 11th anniversary of the game.
The quarter-over-quarter decline of Dragon Nest's contribution was mainly due to a delay in the release of expansion pack from July to late September 2011. During first quarter revenue contribution, however, expanded to grow. Not Monk we began open but it has be very positive yield of feedback aligned with our strategy of building strong long term gains, where our original title by adding new content and improving usability. As a result, industry has managed to recognize original – to return to the game and at the same time return on new generation of users.
Judging by the initial user number we have to day any form of cannibalizing on MIR II and our other 2-D MMO games. Really on the excitement generated by our games at our All-Star event earlier this year we showcased more new titles at the China International DITO conference editable stations in October.

Tour Dates 2016, 2017
America concert tickets are on sale. You can find the list of America tour dates here.
America is an American folk rock band that originally consisted of Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek. The three members were barely out of their teens when they became a musical sensation during 1972, scoring No. 1 hits and winning a Grammy for best new musical artist. Their recording success stretched throughout the 1970s; some of the band's best known songs are "A Horse with No Name", "Sister Golden Hair", "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man", "Daisy Jane", and "Lonely People". George Martin produced seven of their albums. Peek left the group in 1977 to pursue a solo career, but Beckley and Bunnell returned to the top 10 as a duo with "You Can Do Magic" in 1982. As of at least 2009, America performs over 100 shows per year. On January 16, 2007, America released Here & Now, the band's first major label studio album in over twenty years.

The UK's first trial comparing anti-TNF therapy against rituximab is being funded not by the big pharmaceutical companies but by Arthritis Research UK.
As more and more new biological therapies come onto the market – tocilizumab, certolizumab pegol and golimumab are the first of the next "wave" of exciting new therapies – patients with inflammatory arthritis will have more choice of treatment than ever.
Biological therapies, which include anti-TNF therapies, block triggers of inflammation and are used to treat inflammatory forms of arthritis. But the advent of these new drugs has prompted a question that both clinicians and patients need answering swiftly – which of them works best?
A lack of head-to-head trials has hampered the research community's ability to answer that vital question. The unwillingness of pharmaceutical companies to submit their big money-making blockbuster against another company's blockbuster has meant that most of these new medicines are only ever trialled against the drug used as first-line treatment for mild to moderate disease – methotrexate – which inevitably means a deeply favourable outcome on the part of the new drug.
In the case of tocilizumab, for example, it means that the pharmaceutical company producing it can quite truthfully claim that their new drug is six times better than existing therapy – meaning methotrexate.
Which biological therapy to use first?
"Comparing a new biologic drug against methotrexate doesn't really show how effective it is and is used to meet regulatory approval to prove that a new drug works, but it doesn't help rheumatologists who are faced with the question of which biological therapy to use first," says senior lecturer and honorary consultant rheumatologist at Gartnavel General Hospital in Glasgow Dr Duncan Porter.
Researchers for the independent Cochrane Review found in a review of all available studies that although biologic drugs were all effective, there was little data on direct comparisons that could help doctors decide which to prescribe. "We believe that direct head-to-head comparisons of biological drugs in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are needed," said lead researcher Jasvinder Singh. "These trials should examine efficacy and safety at different stages and severity levels of the disease."
At the moment clinicians are bound by guidelines laid down by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in England and Wales and the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) in Scotland, which state that one of the three anti-TNF (tumour-necrosis factor) therapies, infliximab, etanercept and adalimumab, have to be used if a patient fails on a conventional therapy such as methotrexate. The next choice is the anti-B-cell drug rituximab, which targets the body's white blood cells.
However, it will only be a matter of time before rituximab's manufacturer, Roche, decides to apply for a licence to use rituximab before anti-TNF therapy. And when that happens, the need to know which of the two types of drug is more effective will no longer be theoretical.
So with excellent timing, Arthritis Research UK has just awarded almost £1 million to fund the first head-to-head biologics drug trial in the UK, with more than 300 rheumatoid arthritis patients starting to be recruited across Scotland from January.
"We know these two treatments work, but we don't have very good evidence about which works better, or about which offers the NHS better value for money, and that's what we plan to find out," says Dr Porter, principal investigator of the trial, called ORBIT (Optimal management of rheumatoid arthritis patients requiring a biological therapy).
Dr Porter will lead a team of researchers from the Scottish Collaborative Arthritis Network, and other colleagues from the Pathobiology of Early Arthritis Cohort (PEAC) Consortium, which includes researchers from around the UK.
Patients will be recruited from hospitals throughout Scotland and randomised onto one of the two types of drugs for12 months. If they fail to respond after 5 months they will switch to the other. The three-year trial will also be extended into England in late 2010/2011.
Impact on the NHS budget
ORBIT could have a significant impact on the NHS budget, as well as benefiting patients. The cost of anti-TNF therapy is approximately £9,000 – £10,000 a year per patient. Rituximab costs £4,700 to £7,000, so were rituximab to prove as effective as anti-TNF therapy, the NHS could save up to £20 million a year. If anti-TNF was shown to be more effective, this information would provide evidence to inform NICE/SMC appraisals which might otherwise conclude that rituximab offers a more cost-effective approach. The team is restricting the anti-TNF drugs to etanercept and adalimimab, which are both given by injection and are the current market leaders. (Infliximab, the third anti-TNF therapy is given by an infusion.) The NHS is paying for their supply on the trial, as both are NICE approved, while Roche will provide the rituximab.
Who will do better on what drug?
The research team will also to try to predict which patients will do better on which drug, something that cannot currently be done; testing patients' blood at the start of their treatment by identifying specific biomarkers. "At the moment this is complete trial and error, and identifying this upfront would save the patient going on the wrong drug first," added Dr Porter. Identifying and predicting patients' response to drugs in advance is regarded as something of a Holy Grail by the research and medical community, as it brings ever closer the prospect of "personalised medicine," reducing costs, and improving quality of life for patients.
While all patients on the trial will have blood taken for biomarkers, a subgroup will have a synovial biopsy, to compare different types of inflammation. The hypothesis the team is working on is that those with diffuse inflammation (where the inflammatory cells are scattered through the joint lining) will do better on anti-TNF therapy than those with focal inflammation (where the cells are affected together in clumps) who may do better on rituximab.
A related psychological study
The study is very much a collaborative venture, involving experts in the field such as Professor Iain McInnes from Glasgow University, who is the chief scientific investigator and Arthritis Research UK professor of rheumatology in Birmingham Chris Buckley. Dr Jon Packham from Keele University is running a related psychological study, based on the premise that response to anti-TNF is often influenced by a patient's mood at the time they start their treatment, which should yield some fascinating results.
Medical director of Arthritis Research UK Professor Alan Silman said: "This research is a very exciting and important development which will be of enormous benefit not only to patients but also to the NHS and other funders of these very effective but expensive new therapies for rheumatoid arthritis."
