Week 6 Fantasy Football Preview
Roses are red, violets are blue, my fantasy team stinks, and yours might too.
Whether you drafted poorly, have AP/ Gronk/ Keenan Allen/ Jamaal Charles on your squad, or haven't had 'the time' to set your lineups, it is crunch time in the 2016 fantasy football season and you have a chance to either get it together and make the playoffs or 'punt' this season and focus on next year. I for one am not about to quit on any of my teams, and you shouldn't either. There are brighter skies ahead people: Tony Bromo is returning soon, you are able to watch the G.O.A.T. (Tom) perform every week, Colin Kaepernick has finally knelt himself into a starting role, and you are able to listen to the Bennett bros talk themselves into the "most hateable NFL brothers of all time" category.
It's a beautiful Friday in America football fans. We overcame Hurricane Matthew, survived another thrilling presidential debate, and are in the midst of an electrifying MLB playoffs (go Cubs). Set your lineups this week, enjoy a brewski or two, and read on to help make your fantasy team great again.
Thursday Night Recap – San Diego Chargers over the Denver Broncos
The Chargers were finally able to hold on in this Thursday night divisional matchup. They were the superior team throughout, as the Broncos played flat in the absence of head coach Gary Kubiak (medical leave). The Chargers defense actually looked pretty strong. Joey Bosa and the rest of the D-line put relentless pressure on young Trevor all night long. Fantasy wise, this was just another Thursday night dud. The father of 8, Phil Rivers, threw for 178 yards and a TD to budding tight end, Hunter Henry. Melvin Gordon rushed for a hard earned 94 yards on 27 carries. CJ Anderson could never quite get his motor running in this one. The rookie back out of Utah, Devontae Booker, was leaned on in crunch time and ended up outrushing Anderson on half the carries. Emanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas were both stymied in this contest as the Broncos offense never quite found its groove.
Injury Updates – Order is QB, RB, WR, TE
Jay Cutler – QB Chicago Bears
It is officially time to sell the Cutty stock. He was supposed to return already, but has not suited up yet as we are heading into his fourth week of recovery. As a Bears fan, I am done with the Cutler BS. He is in the doghouse with the Bears coaching staff and it sounds like John Fox will continue riding the hot hand (Brian Hoyer), even when Cutty is ready to return.
Cam Newton – QB Carolina Panthers
Newton has fully recovered from his concussion and is a near lock to play this weekend against the Saints. Gear up for a nice game and start the big man with confidence.
Jeremy Hill – RB Cinncinnati Bengals
Jeremy practiced in full on Thursday and looks to be fully recovered from his chest complication. He is facing a tough Patriots defense on the road and is a flex option at best.
Latavius Murray – RB Oakland Raiders
Murray is still in full turf toe recovery mode as he has yet to practice this week. Even if he does end up playing he will likely be hobbled and probably won't get too many snaps. Jalen Richard, DeAndre Washington, and Jamize Olawale will hold down the Oakland backfield in this full blown RB by committee. None of these guys are startable.
Theo Riddick – RB Detroit Lions
Theo didn't practice on Thursday with an ankle injury. He had a breakout game in week 5 and is definitely an RB2 or flex option if he is able to play this week. The Lions signed Justin Forsett this week, but they will probably employ a RB by committee approach. Monitor Riddick's status into the weekend.
Eddie Lacy – RB Green Bay Packers
Lacy tweaked his ankle during his week 5 matchup against the Giants. He has been held back in practice this week, but this just seems precautionary. The burly bruiser will likely get the start against a tough Cowboys run D.
Jonathan Stewart – RB Carolina Panthers
Stewart is practicing in full this week and is ready to return. He had a hammy injury so he may not be at 100%, but regardless, he is likely going to start and should be a solid RB play based on volume alone.
Mark Ingram – RB New Orleans Saints
Ingram was held out of practice on Thursday with an undisclosed illness. Monitor his playing status if he's on your squad, but I doubt he will sit this one out. Hopefully it's nothing serious and he doesn't have the Swine Flu.
Jamaal Charles – RB Kansas City Chiefs
Charles is at 110% (according to him) and will get the start this weekend against the Raiders. It sounds like this may actually be the first game Charles gets a significant number of touches. I'm certainly still a little wary, but I would start the big man as an RB2 or flex.
Arian Foster – RB Miami Dolphins
Foster was limited in practice yet again on Thursday. He is looking to see the field for the first time since week 2. He certainly could have a big game against the Steelers, but is a risky play. Start him if you must.
Rashad Jennings – RB New York Giants
Rashad was held back in practice on Thursday. It's looking like Rashad will actually see the field this week, but is not a solid RB start by any means. Throw him in your flex slot and hope for a TD.
Kelvin Benjamin – WR Carolina Panthers
Kelvin has some sort of knee injury and was held back in practice on Thursday. Regardless, the big man is probably going to see the field on Sunday and is a solid start with Cam Newton's return.
Steve Smith Sr. – WR Baltimore Ravens
Steve Smith Sr. hasn't practiced yet this week and is doubtful to play this weekend. We all know that Smith is one of those guys that will play through almost any minor injury, but perhaps all those hits have caught up to him. Bench the veteran this week and hope for a successful recovery.
Alshon Jefferey – WR Chicago Bears
Alshon has yet to score a TD this season in what has been a disappointing start to his contract year. He is still playing through a sore hamstring, but this shouldn't hold the elite wide receiver back this much. He will likely play this weekend in a favorable matchup against the Jaguars. Let's hope him and Hoyer can establish some sort of camaraderie.
Randall Cobb – WR Green Bay Packers
Randall is coming off a stellar performance against the Giants: 9/11 catches for 108 yards. This is the first time that we have seen the stars align for the explosive slot receiver. He has been limited in practice this week with a neck injury, but the Packers are confident that he will play. Hopefully he can keep the good times rollin' against the Boys from Dallas.
Sammie Coates – WR Pittsburgh Steelers
Coates has not practiced yet this week, so there is cause for concern here. Monitor his status up until game time, as he will probably get the starting nod at the end of the day. He is one of those boom-or-bust fantasy options, but is coming off a big week and is a decent WR3/ flex start.
Jeremy Kerley – WR San Francisco 49ers
The WR1 on a poorly led 49ers offense may be sidelined for week 6 with an ankle injury. He was a popular waiver wire add this week as he has strung together a couple solid games. He receives a lot of targets and catches, but I just can't trust him in this offense. Start him if you must, but I would not recommend it.
Will Fuller – WR Houston Texans
Fuller was limited in practice on Thursday with a bad hamstring. He will be playing this weekend barring another set back. He is a solid start against a dismal Colts defense.
Eddie Royal – WR Chicago Bears
Eddie hasn't practiced yet this week with a nagging calf injury. It seems like the Bears are just being cautious as Royal didn't practice at all last week, but still got the start. Monitor his status into the weekend and if he plays he is a solid flex start against the Jaguars at home.
Dez Bryant – WR Dallas Cowboys
Dez is still recovering from a knee injury. He has been limited in practice all week, but reports make it seem like he will get the start. I would definitely throw him into one of my WR slots if he ends up playing.
Stefon Diggs – WR Minnesota Vikings
Diggs was held out of practice on Thursday and is questionable to start this weekend against the Texans. Monitor his status up until game time and make sure you have other receiver options in place.
Jordan Reed – TE Washington Redskins
Jordan Reed's history of concussions has indeed caught up to him (let's just say he has had A LOT over the course of his career). He is currently undergoing the league's concussion protocol. My guess is that the Redskins will not push it even if Reed passes the concussion tests. Make sure you have another TE option in place if Reed gets bounced this weekend. Options include: Dwayne Allen, Zach Miller, Julius Thomas, Dennis Pitta, Eric Ebron, or Jesse James.
Tyler Eifert – TE Cincinnati Bengals
Eifert has been held out of practice again this week. I would consider other TE options as Tyler is still dealing with a sore back and his return to 2015 form seems more and more unlikely.
Eric Ebron – TE Detroit Lions
Big E missed last weeks game with knee and ankle injuries. He hasn't practiced yet this week and is listed as questionable to get the start. See above for other worthy TE candidates in Ebron's absence.
QB Streaming Options
Dak Prescott's Cowboys vs The Green Bay Packers
It seems like Dak is constantly in this streaming category. I'm not sure why he isn't owned yet as the rookie has proven to be one of the most consistent QB options thus far. He is facing a Packers defense that has given up a lot of passing yards/ TDs this year and is a solid, albeit conservative, start this weekend. Hank's Hot Take: 234 passing yards, 2 TDs
Marcus Mariota's Titans vs. The Cleveland Browns
Marcus is coming off his best game of the season against the Dolphins: 20/29 passes for 163 yards and 3 TDS, and 60 rushing yards and a rushing TD. He is facing an equally porous Browns' defense and will hopefully put up similar numbers. I'm a big fan of duel threat QBs fantasy wise as the ceiling is much higher than your standard pocket passer. Hank's Hot Take: 250 passing yards, 2 TDs, 46 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD
Brian Hoyer's Bears vs. The Jacksonville Jaguars
Hoyer had the best game of his career last week against the Colts, throwing for a whopping 397 yards and 2 TDs. He is facing a Jaguars defense this week that has allowed a lot of points to fantasy QBs. Hank's Hot Take: 320 yards, 2 TDs
D/ST Streaming Options
Buffalo Bills vs. the San Francisco 49ers
Niners head coach, Chip Kelly, recently named Colin Kaepernick the starting QB. It can't get much worse than Blaine Gabbert, right? Well, in fact it can. The last time Kap was the starting QB in San Francisco he was a turnover machine. He may see some more success in Chip Kelly's system, but I highly doubt it. Expect the raucous Bills' defense to force multiple sacks, turnovers, and little to no points. In my standard scoring Yahoo league they are the second ranked defense and have put up 22, 15, and 17 fantasy points the last 3 weeks.
Tennessee Titans vs. the Cleveland Browns
The Titans defense has exceeded expectations so far this season. They are facing a downright brutal Browns offense. They had 6 sacks and 2 picks last week against an equally awful Dolphins offense. Pick them up and start them if your league has slim pickings at D/ST.
Thank you all for reading. This is my 6th blog and I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of it (or not). Remember, if you have any specific fantasy questions (start em, sit em etc.) or any suggestions on how to make the blog better, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @lockdog5000 – it goes down in the DMs.

Harry Potter - Warner Brothers Studio Tour
This week for something different we have two reviewers for the Harry Potter Warner Brothers Studio tour in London. Both reviewers are avid fans of the Harry Potter franchise, having both read the books and seen the movies but are in vastly different age brackets. I thought it would be interesting in asking them the same questions and see what they both would write.
M.G is a solo traveller in her 50's who travelled to the studios in October 2017.
L.C is our regular theme park reviewer in his early 20's who last travelled to the studios in 2013.
What sort of food is available there and can you recommend? Was it expensive? Or should you bring your own?
M.G: I was a solo traveller and had gone to the main café prior to the tour as I had not had any breakfast. The tea and toast were about the price I would expect to pay at this type of café. If I was travelling with young children I would not bother with the main café as there was nothing really special in the way of food there. Though having said this it was not overpriced and maybe would be more convenient for some. About two thirds through the tour there was another eating spot. Mostly it seemed to be selling Butterbeer drinks and ice creams. I did try the smallest size Butterbeer soft serve they had. It was delicious. The drinks looked very sweet but I was surprised at how much I liked the icecream so perhaps I should have given these a try. As far as I could work out you could take your own food into this area and there was also a picnic area for eating anything purchased or brought in.
L.C: There is a cafe outside the entrance and opposite the shop but I didn't get anything there when I went a few years ago. About 2/3 of the way through the tour there is a cart where I tried Butterbeer in the outside sets and props section.
Was the Warner Brothers easy to get to transport wise? Tube??
M.G: I was staying very close to central London and so travelled a few stops by the Underground to Euston Stations and then used my Oyster Card to travel to Watford Junction. The trains were frequent and for many were express to Watford Junction. It was a very quick painless journey. From Watford Junction Railway Station there was a special Harry Potter Tour Bus. This cost a few pounds return for the trip but was a nice comfortable trip (about 10 mins from memory). There was a short video playing in the bus and the bus looked a little like the Night Bus. Generally I found it easy to travel there and back extremely easy and the instructions on the Warner Brothers Tour website was very informative.
What was your favourite part and why?
L.C: Personally I enjoyed every moment on that tour but I would say my favourite part is just before the gift shop. There is an entire room designed like Olivanders Wand shop which you pass through. When I went the majority of people passed through it not really looking but every single wand box enscribes the name of every person that took part in the production on the films which I feel is a nice way to thank every person involved. I spent some time there myself trying to find actors names from Alan Rickman, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson to more obscure actors like Lenny Henry who voiced the shrunken head on the Knight Bus in Prisoner of Azkaban.
M.G: I think my absolute favourite thing was the Hogwarts Model Castle. The attention to detail was amazing. It was possible to walk around it and see Hogwarts from a variety of different angles. You could turn on and off lights and get a feel for it in the evening as well as the day time. The Model included some landscaping to the grounds.
Anything you found surprising?
M.G: I think I was surprised at the detail of some of the sets etc. Where I had assumed special effects or things added into the movies digitally had been used in the filming I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a lot more props /makeup used to create the final result.
L.C: Personally the most surprising thing for me was the level of detail that is placed in the construction of even the most minute props in the movies. There was an enormous cabinet that I spent a while looking through which contained props in the movies. From items such as the currency to the range of different items for Fred and George's Weasely's Wizards Wheezes. I found most of the time there I couldn't stop but admire the detailing on the items in the prop section of the tour.
Sets, Props, Costumes (was there a favourite area?) and why?
M.G: Although I personally enjoyed the Hogwarts Model Castle I thought the Forbidden Forest was extremely well done and very atmospheric. Re-watching some of the Harry Potter movies recently was a lot of fun as you could recognize some of the parts of the studio where the shooting had occurred and also you can see the use of the model castle.
L.C: I enjoyed every area that was there when I went. But one of the best moments in the tour was walking through the set of diagon alley. The set is still left up for people to walk through with items still inside the shop. Although you can see a lot of the props and sets from the movie this was the largest part aside from the Great Hall where you could walk through the entire set.
Finish this sentence "Do not miss….
M.G: Talking to some of the specialist tour guides located at various spots. Some of the most interesting parts of the tour for me was how the makeup and prosthetics were applied. The experts talked at some length about this and how the techniques etc. developed over the course of the movies.
L.C: If I were to finish that sentence I would say 'Do not miss the opportunity to capture yourself in the movies'. In the first building of the tour there was an area fitted with props and green screens where you could dress up and be filmed as if you are in the franchise. From what I recall it was on the broom in a quiddich game, riding in the enchanted ford anglia or riding Hagrid's bike. I myself did the broom and got a picture from the experience. Obviously with a group of friends it is great fun to muck around with and get a personal souvenir after.
What are some of the fun shops to visit?
M.G: There were three shops. The main shop was located at the entrance/exit of the tour. There were also two smaller shops located at Railway Carriages and also near the Forbidden Forrest. The main shop carried all the same items as the smaller shops. It was possible to purchase items for a wide range of prices and lots of items I had not seen before. I made all my purchases at the Main Shop but did stop to look at the Railway Shop.
L.C: When I went there was only one shop aside from the food cart halfway through the tour and the cafe opposite the shop entrance. Obviously the end of the tour leads you directly into the shop but it is filled with everything you can imagine. It ranges from foods from the films, clothing, accessories, kids toys and apparel as well as wands and (my personal interest) prop replicas. I myself spent quite some time deciding what I wanted and debated with myself constantly over what to get. I settled for a marauders map and some pins which I collect from places I visit. But without that restraint (and the fact that I had several wands at home already) I probably would have destroyed my budget.
Are there magical interactive wands like at Oleanders, Universal Studios Orlando? (If there are similar, does it do anything, how much does it cost etc)
M.G: I did not notice anything to do with wands other than a display.
L.C: When I last went there was no interactive wands similar to that at Universal Studios Orlando. But I feel thats because there isn't options where you can use them during the tour like in the park and if so you would need to be aware and purchase before starting
What are the lines like? (is it frightfully busy?)
M.G: I think there would always be queues but generally these were pretty short with a wait time of about 15 minutes. There are no lines once you get past the entry unless you wanted to try out some of the interactive things eg. Broomstick riding. As most of these things were not on my to do list I did not queue up and only noticed in passing a few small queues.
Individuals and groups are required to book tour tickets online for particular times so I think this ensures that the queues are not too long. The following week was half term for London schools and might have been a lot busier. I timed my visit to try and avoid this.
L.C: When I went it wasn't too busy. Though this was in May/April 2013 and wasn't around school holidays or on a weekend. The safe option is to order your tickets online in advance as it can sell out quickly prior to the day you intend to go so it is better to plan a day and get in quick.
Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley? Which do you prefer and why? (are there other locations to see in Warner Brothers?)
M.G: I don't really remember seeing anything about Hogsmeade. Diagon Alley was definitely interesting with a lot of shop windows to look into. The window displays were very detailed and the atmosphere created was excellent. The feel of twists and turns to get to the next window. For me the other highlights of the tour were the Forbidden Forest. And The Burrow. In both these displays there was a lot of detail and a number of special effects thrown in. For the Forbidden Forest the result was very atmospheric. The Burrow was just a bit of fun pressing buttons to allow the dishes to wash themselves etc.
L.C: There is no option for Hogsmede at the studio tour in London. However I am slightly frustrated that they added platform 9 3/4 as I would really have liked to see that set also with the Hogwarts Express train waiting at the station. Although Diagon Alley is one of the only sets you can walk through aside from the Great Hall (and im assuming Platform 9 3/4) the others are roped off but you are able to admire them and notice the detailing.
Are there other movies Warner Brothers displays at this Studio?
M.G: There is some mention of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Also a couple of pictures advertising Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
L.C: The studios in Leavesden have been used for a variety of other movies but due to the success of the franchise they have kept everything from the Harry Potter franchise to demostrate its production to the fans.
Are there any rides?
M.G: There are not rides but there are a number of interactive displays which add to the fun of participants.
L.C: To my knowledge there are no rides at the studios. Although there are the green screen experiences, this overall attraction is more like a museum/walking tour of the studio demonstrating the production of the films rather than an interactive experience.
Anything you wished you knew before you went?
M.G: The Warner Brothers Studio webpage was pretty informative so I managed to get all the information I needed for my visit beforehand.
L.C: To be completely honest I would rather not know what is there before I arrive in order to enjoy the full experience. I find knowing too much could be disheartening in case things aren't as you anticipate or gets removed before your arrival. And its for this reason that I'm trying to limit my responses so that the reader can fully enjoy the experience when they get the chance to go.
Do you have to be a Harry Potter fan to go?
L.C: Obviously as a fan myself that (unlike my family) has seen all the movies and read all the books I spent a substantial amount of time pointing out and photographing minute details that had a more significant impact in the books story that got overlooked or briefly mentioned in the movies. However, I don't feel you need to be an avid fan in order to enjoy the experience. My dad hasn't seen all the movies but he personally enjoyed seeing how everything was made and the technical aspects when it comes to the animatronics. I feel that if you are interested in movie production and techniques you can enjoy this Studio Tour as well regardless of the overwhelming Harry Potter material.
M.G: You do not need to be a Harry Potter fan but it definitely helps. Most of the displays etc. assume that you know the story of Harry Potter and who the various characters are.
Individuals who are keen on film and theatre production would also benefit from this tour as it does give an insight into special effects, prosthetics, props, make-up etc. As a solo middle aged traveler I would not fit in the normal demographics of visitors but can say that I really enjoyed the tour and I think there was something there for everyone.
I hope you have enjoyed hearing about the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studios. A big thank you to both L.C and M.G for their time in answering all of these questions.
Have a good week.

I know the cocoa isn't good but I figured it was better than sugar. Like I said, my cheats usually involve a rice pasta, something carby… I am okay now with not eating dessert items but the cocoa stuff sounded good to me. 🙂

Another pleasant summer evening of grey clouded sky with the threat of rain to come welcomed a very large heap of hashers as they parked in the designated carpark next to the horses and the flies. Flies? Reminded me of Australia. Beautiful country and a hundred million flies can't be wrong.
The run started in the wrong direction then zig zagged it's way about 15 times around the Tonto residence never seeming to be more than 100m from the BBQ confusing everyone slow and fast. Checks were everywhere baffling the front runners until eventually the pack got going and found it's way to a step ladder stile over a deer fence where The Penguin negotiated the steps up but stumbled on the way down demonstrating how to land flat on one's back in a bed of nettles much to everyone else's amusement. Well into the run we managed to catch up with front runner White Trash who had obviously streaked ahead in his usual sylphlike manner but it was the youngsters who took the biscuit racing around madly as we all used to do with no fear of tripping up on rocks.
Food ably BBQ'd by Egg Foo awaited the pack on return and damned good burgers they were too. After all were suitably fed the circle formed and debate ensued as to whether or not it was the longest day but I can't recall if any conclusion was made. Stand in RA Canna B Arsed dragged in Cinders for taking the wrong track then complaining about nettles and other shit then went on to Naturists for no apparent reason involving Scabby Arse - a second member of the Arse family - for wearing the brightest, prettiest top either to attract the flies or to scare them off. Fond memories of youth were brought back when we were told the story of the son of Careless and Mrs Careless who was brought home one morning by Grampian Police who had found said son in a ditch somewhere sound asleep. Since this showed good upbringing, the parents were rewarded by beer. Another son excelled himself by deciding to cycle back from the weekend in Findhorn via the Cabrach and the Lecht and who should this be but the son of Mad Cyclist who was duly awarded a down down. Apart from not knowing whether or not it was the longest day it seemed that none of the youngsters knew when Father's Day was with cards being gifted days apart. All were brought in for drinks. Olymprick's best chat up line was overheard by Cinders who spotted him chatting up a lovely young wench with the words "These are my best hash socks". We were not told whether or not the line worked. Those who were not at Findhorn may not know that a 12 man tent is called so because it takes 12 men to erect it and 12 men to strike it, It has nothing to do with the number of hashers it can sleep because this one apparently slept 34 plus kitchen sinks and everything else happy campers need. The laugh was that in folding up the bugger Mad Cyclist lost his car keys within the folds. Leeky Willie stepped in as RA pointing out that he had been away 3 weeks and had sorely missed AH3 but strangely nobody had noticed that LW had not been around. He proceeded to point out that young Chris, son of Sir Deadmund, had run the trail with one shoe as the other one was so worn and painful and yet his father was driving a £90K BMW. The same father however suffered on the weekend Bash when he cycled into a stone and tumbled arse over tit wounding his arm almost to Tonto standards.
In summary it was a good run and circle of young folks and their incompetent parents, several Davids and a number of recollections of bumps and thumps.
Welcome to new runners Jenny and Malcolm and many thanks to Tonto for a good run and to Egg Foo for the lovely grub.

The Long Reach of the International Sicilian Mafia.
By Claire Sterling.
Illustrated. 384 pp. New York:
W. W. Norton & Company. $19.95.
At the start of the century, Frank Norris used ''The Octopus'' as the title and metaphor for a muckraking novel about America's railroad robber barons. Approaching the close of the century, Claire Sterling uses ''Octopus'' as the title and symbol for what she perceives as a far larger international evil: the Sicilian Mafia.
From its strongholds in Sicily and with narcotics as a financial springboard, the Mafia has extended its tentacles throughout the Western world, says Mrs. Sterling, who has written extensively about the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II and about international terrorism. The United States, she asserts, is the principal target of Sicily's Mafia bosses, and they are mainly responsible for ''the drugging of America.''
How did this small group of gangsters, many of whom were provincial thugs, create global drug-smuggling and money-laundering empires? Mrs. Sterling attributes the Mafia's success partly to aid from some corrupt Italian financiers like Michele Sindona, who died in 1986. He helped transform gangsters into thriving - if illegal - venture capitalists. She assigns the Mafia's rise, however, principally to three shortcomings: the dismal coordination among Italian and American police agencies, the accommodation of Italian politicians who seek the Mafia's election-campaign contributions and the half-million votes it is said to control, and the naivete of most American investigative agencies.
Law enforcement experts on both sides of the Atlantic, Mrs. Sterling claims, long underestimated the awesome power of the Sicilian Mafia, a vastly more ruthless band of cutthroats than their American counterparts. Until the 1950's, the Sicilian Mafia's depredations were confined to Italy. Mrs. Sterling's central thesis is that heroin trafficking elevated the Sicilian bosses from local chieftains to multinational titans.Continue reading the main story
She accuses Salvatore Lucania, alias Lucky Luciano, the American Mafia boss who died in 1962, of conceiving the first organized heroin pipeline in Italy in the 1950's, after his deportation from the United States. Luciano's Sicilian heirs modernized the market by creating a vertical industry. They imported opium from Turkey, Lebanon and other countries, refined it into heroin in Italy, exported it to America and laundered vast profits in Europe.
The heroin network gradually entrenched the Sicilian Mafia in Latin America, Canada and, most important, the United States. Mrs. Sterling maintains that the F.B.I., the Drug Enforcement Administration and American police agencies were in the dark for two decades about the extent of Sicilian penetration.
Finally, in the 70's, American investigators stumbled across members of several Sicilian clans or gangs. But, Mrs. Sterling says, most officials failed to grasp that the Sicilians had landed as a separate entity, not as reinforcements for America's declining Mafia families. In fact, the Sicilians were controlled from Palermo and generally treated their American cousins as mediocre vassals. While the American Mafia engaged in drug trafficking locally, the Sicilians directed it worldwide.
In the mid-80's, Mrs. Sterling believes, American authorities belatedly discerned the independent Sicilian operations on the East Coast and in the Midwest through the much-publicized investigation of the so-called pizza connection heroin ring. The resulting trial was, she writes, ''the biggest drug case ever to come before an American judge and jury.'' At the same time, Italian prosecutors awoke to the international magnitude of their Sicilian underworld and began an overdue crackdown. Faced with a common enemy, United States and Italian law enforcement agencies for the first time significantly coordinated their efforts.
After brief successes, the campaigns in Italy and the United States faltered. Mrs. Sterling says that Italian politicians' renewed tolerance and the inability of many American law enforcement agencies to comprehend the scope of the Sicilians' activities have allowed them to flourish. Based on estimates by Italian and American researchers - some of whose cloudy conclusions may be exaggerated - Mrs. Sterling credits the Sicilian and American gangs with raking in about $250 billion annually from illicit drugs alone. That would make the income of the combined Sicilian and American Mafia great enough to qualify it as the 20th wealthiest nation in the world.
As for the future, she warns that the Sicilian bosses are enlarging their international drug trafficking by exporting South American cocaine into Western Europe and by linking up with Asian heroin suppliers. Mrs. Sterling overloads her analysis with dense accounts of insignificant events that only the most dedicated Mafiologist will want to plow through. Nevertheless, her chronicle of the Sicilian Mafia and its influence in America is an important tale with a foreboding forecast.Continue reading the main story

Several factors were considered by Credit Suisse before it upgraded Apple's rating from "neutral" to "outperform" Tuesday, according to an analyst.
The first reason Apple's stock was upgraded is because of its excessive cash levels, which suggest a $200 billion return program is due soon, Kulbinder Garcha, managing director of Credit Suisse, told CNBC's "Squawk Alley" on Tuesday. "Apple first implemented its cash return program in 2012, and at that time they had roughly $110 billion of net cash," he said. "By our estimates, they're going to have $143 billion come this April."

I came across Dovid Teitelbaum's article on the upcoming Asifa at Citi Field. His points are well taken and his solutions are definitely the way to go with regard to raising the next generation of fine and good Jews. But he misses the point.
No one disputes that the more a person builds his character the less shmutz will appeal to him. Same for his kids. The better we raise them, the stronger they will be as Yidden and as human beings. However, the internet is a LOADED GUN, with a round in every chamber. Even 2nd Amendment diehards would not recommend leaving as loaded gun on the kitchen table, no matter how much they scream that "it's not guns that commit crime, it's people". It's still too dangerous.
The internet is a weapon of destruction, aimed at the heart and soul of a Yid. It cannot be left around unchecked and unfiltered. Not to help those who are LOOKING to use it for nefarious purposes, for them all the the filters and chavrusos in the world won't help, it's too late. They need a different approach. But for the innocent bystander, the perfectly fine, stable, happy young teenage boy or girl, doing well in school and in society, those are the ones who need and could be helped the most by simple solutions such as filters, chavrusos and restrictions.
The fact that filtering and the like won't help for those already exposed does not obviate our responsibility to the many who just need the bor brshus harabim covered up so that they don't accidentally fall into and break every bone in their body.
So by all means, work on your "E's" but don't be naive. Not taking the necessary safeguards of filtering and restricting internet usage pretty much guarantees a michshol at some point for almost every user. If not shmutz then apikorsus and cynicism. Chazal have already taught us the ika darka achrina doctrine. While it may not be the be all and end all of the internet parsha, let's not pretend it doesn't exist.
Nobody is talking bans now , neither were they ever. Restrictions, filtering and chavrosus are a must for internet use. Coupled with proper living and Hashem's help we can hope to raise kids we can be proud of.

Twyla received her Master's at Georgia State University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and her B.A. in Psychology from Seattle Pacific University. She is recognized as a National Certified Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Before entering the counseling field, Twyla lived and worked with people living in poverty in Southeast Asia. This experience enhanced her perspective and belief that all people are worthy of a well-lived life, and she found she could help others in a practical way through counseling.
Twyla has experience working with a variety of clients in the areas of trauma experienced from childhood through adulthood, LGBTQ challenges, emerging adults, life transitions, inter-personal relationships, anxiety, depression, HIV/AIDS diagnosis, and substance abuse. Twyla is also trained and experienced in career counseling, in which career identification, career development, identifying barriers, and career transitions can be explored.
Another passion Twyla has is working with adult adoptees, adoption adjustments, transracial and transnational adoptees. In her experience, she understands the importance and complexity of how attachment, multicultural integration, and identity unfold in each person's life. The development and grief of adoptees is a lifelong process.
Twyla's approach leans toward a psychodynamic perspective, while integrating somatic techniques, including EMDR. She finds it instrumental to identify behavioral motivations and the various influences that contribute to each person's challenges with life.

You may be asking yourself this question if you recently lost your job and are unsure of the reason. There are numerous laws in place to prevent the wrongful termination of North Carolina and South Carolina workers, but some employers don't always obey them.
Most employees qualify as being "at will" workers, which means that their employer can fire them at any time and without reason. However, even at-will employees have rights, and any victim of this illegal action may take steps to rectify the damage caused by an unlawful dismissal.
Were your rights violated as an at-will employee?
If you were fired unexpectedly and without cause, you may believe that there is very little you can do to keep your career on track. It is important to review the details of your situation and consider the possibility that you may have been wrongfully terminated. The following questions can help:
- Did you recently report wrongdoing in your workplace?
- Did you face discrimination based on gender, race or religion?
- Did you express concerns about your personal safety while at work?
- Did you witness a violation of federal labor laws?
- Did you report unsafe working conditions?
- Did you file a workers' compensation claim after a work accident?
If you answered any of the above questions in the affirmative, your termination could have been a result of your lawful actions while still employed. Retaliation or retribution are both forms of wrongful termination, and it is critical to take immediate action to protect your rights.
Appropriate action to get your life and career back on track
What you do next matters. If you believe that a wrongful termination resulted in the loss of your job, now is the time to secure legal support for the path ahead. By working with an experienced lawyer, you can not only discover the legal options available, you will have support and guidance in your fight for financial recovery.
Wrongful termination of at-will employees is illegal, but you have a right to recourse. Your employment law attorney can evaluate your situation, document and validate all of the wrongful action you have endured and advocate for your rights and interests. With help, it is possible to restore your reputation and career path, as well as secure any compensation possibly owed to you. If you were fired, react appropriately by talking with a lawyer as soon as possible.

Medieval Fantasy Items (Eternus)
Magical Armor - "So you are looking for armor are you? Well take at look at what we have in store. We have cloth armor, light armor, medium armor, heavy armor. Anything that you want we have it."
Common Armor - "Not everyone can afford the best and that is ok. We have a wide selection of common woven cloth armor, common light hide armor, common medium chainmail armor, and common heavy plate armor. Take a look around and see if one of these sets suits your needs."
Uncommon Armor - "Uncommon armor can really protect you in the heat of battle. It is great protection especially when you are under 25th level. Anything better usually sells out right away. We have a wide selection of uncommon woven cloth armor, uncommon light hide armor, uncommon medium chainmail armor, and uncommon heavy plate armor. Take a look around and see if one of these sets is what you are looking for."
Rare Armor - Rare armor flies off the shelves. The auction house is the best place to look for it but it can be expensive and it really only needed when you reach levels above 25th. Of course it is always nice to have since each piece has unique powers in addition to traditional uses.
Unique Armor - "These pieces are one of a kind. You might find one at the auction house but these items are usually heirlooms that sell for a small fortune. Your best bet it to find on on an adventure."

Scotland will join England and Ireland in next autumn's World Cup in Australia leaving Iestyn Harris and Wales, who have been semi-finalists in the last two tournaments in 1995 and 2000, in danger of missing out.
The Scots secured their place despite an 18-16 defeat by Wales in Glasgow yesterday, going through on aggregate after winning 21-14 in Bridgend last autumn. "I've never been so pleased to lose a game," said their coach Steve McCormack. "We were the underdogs in everybody's eyes but whenever you go into camp with these guys you realise they're very proud people.
"This is my best achievement without doubt," added the coach, who has had an eventful week after pulling out of a proposed move to Hull KR and instead opting to stay with Widnes following their takeover. Only month ago he experienced defeat for the fourth successive season in the National League One Grand Final. "I've had a lot of disappointments over the last four years but I've enjoyed my last three years with Scotland. Reaching the World Cup hasn't sunk in yet."
"I always had faith. We knew that Wales would chuck everything at us but the effort last year in Wales gave us that little cushion. We mentioned at half-time that, although we were down, realistically we were only three points down and that gave the players a big effort to go forward."
Wales were ahead on aggregate when they led 14-4 at half-time thanks to tries from their centres Luke Dyer and Adam Hughes, both converted by Harris who also kicked a penalty. But a try by Ben Fisher, an Australian hooker whose father is from Glasgow, forced Wales to chase the game again and they were killed off in the 74th minute when Jamie Benn toed ahead Mick Nanyn's speculative inside pass to touch down.
Damien Gibson scored a consolation try for Wales whose only hope of reaching Australia now is by winning two repechage matches that will determine the last place in the 10-team tournament. But that will be a tall order as they play Lebanon on Friday and almost certainly a formidable Samoa side - who take on the United States first - in the repechage final on Wednesday week, especially with the Warrington scrum-half Lee Briers unlikely to be available after limping through yesterday's defeat with an ankle injury, while Mark Lennon has a hamstring problem and Ian Webster has a lower-leg injury.
"We had some opportunities and didn't take them," said the Wales coach Martin Hall. "It wasn't one of our better performances. I've not thought too much about the repechage yet. Obviously we have to regroup and get ready for the game on Friday."

Advice about Pets on Planes
Scheduling the Flight
Read about how to bring your pet to another country
Scheduling the Flight
Learn about the rules of the airlines that fly to where your pet will travel. Different airlines may have very different regulations and costs. Decide if your cat or dog will travel with you in the cabin (which may be possible if she's small), as your excess baggage, or as cargo.
Arrange your pet's flight as early as possible. Some airlines limit the number of animals on a plane.
If you will transport the pet as cargo, plan the arrival on a weekday, because a veterinarian and/or other staff may need to check your dog or cat when he reaches his destination. Contact the airline to ensure the cargo facility will be open when your pet arrives.
Try to minimize the number of flights. Leave plenty of time between connecting flights.
Ask the airline specifically where and when the pet should be dropped off and picked up.
Snub-nosed dogs, such as pugs, bulldogs, and Pekinese, should not fly during hot weather because of the higher risk of potentially fatal health issues.
The Box / Crate / Pet Carrier
Ask the airline about their rules for the box your pet will travel in, especially if you want to build your own.
Unless your cat or dog will be in the cabin with you, she should travel in a strong dog carrier (pet crate) that's big enough for her to stand, lie down, and turn around in, but not so big that she may be knocked around if there's turbulence. Check that it closes properly. Buy the dog carrier far in advance, because many stores don't sell dog crates of all sizes. If your pet will fly in the cabin with you, soft-sided carriers may be allowed.
Attach a water bowl to the pet carrier so it can't be knocked over and airline staff can fill it without opening the box.
In the weeks before your cat or dog will travel, let him get comfortable in the pet carrier. Put his food in it every day so he goes into it by himself. Close him in it for a few minutes at a time, and gradually increase the length of time.
Put some comfortable bedding and some familiar toys in the dog crate.
Write this information on the box (or type it, print it, and tape it to the box):
The Days Before the Flight
If puppies or kittens less than 4 months old travel for more than 12 hours, they must have food and water. Older animals must have food at least every 24 hours and water at least every 12 hours. No matter how long the flight is, you should tape instructions for food and water on the crate, in case of delays. If your cat or dog may travel for a long time, send food (either dry food or canned food with a can opener); you can put it in a bag and attach it to the crate.
Reconfirm the flight at least 48 hours before departure.
Your dog or cat should be wearing a collar when he flies. Put your name and phone number, and the address where he will go, on a tag attached to his collar (or directly on the collar).
Do not tranquilize your pet without your vet's approval. If you plan to do this, give the animal a test dose in the days before the trip to see how it affects him.
Plan for your dog or cat to be picked up immediately after he arrives.
While your pet travels, keep a photo of her and copies of all of her travel documents with you.
The Day of the Flight
Several hours before your cat or dog flies, give him a light meal and a moderate amount of water. Don't give him water less than two hours before the flight.
Give your pet a lot of exercise before the flight, so she will rest during travel. Walk your dog before you go to the airport, and again just before she gets on the plane. You may be able to do this after checking her in.
If you're flying with your dog or cat and you have more than one flight, ask an airline agent about your pet when you're changing planes.

I Think its really nice, well i installed Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Last week, so you think its free ? do you have some more videos available for training, to be more specific am looking forward to something to create RSS for my personal page using AJAX.
I wanna know if we can do file handling with javascript.
This is great news for all those who want to learn Framework 2.0.
My only concern now Express editions are free forever, is the competitors of Visual Studio will get together and file an anticompetitive lawsuit in the US courts.. I only hope this doesnt spoil the party…
I installed VWD and its works like a dreams its to easy to develope complex web applications in minuts and the learning material is more helpfull.
In the learning videos mostly with data grid and view but no more example with the insert data into the database and such like that.
thnx Microsoft
I've been playing around with VWD for my final year project development and found it to be interesting and helps me in my experience in developing ASP.NET 2.0 apps. I do wish to continue using VWD and ASP.NET 2.0. Now that VWD is free forever, we'll get to enjoy longer period of small-scale developments. ^^
Looking forward to when we will be able to develop addins for express editions…
Saurabh – if that was possible then I think Microsoft would of sued the makers of other makers of free IDE's that compete with Visual Studio.
I think Microsoft is trying (and doing a good job) of combating the negative image portrayed by it's competitors (incorrectly) that Microsoft is only concerned with making big dollars off of large coporations and they have no support or products that are affordable solutions for the small business.
This is just smart business on their part to offer such a powerful and capable tool for free. It also has the added benifit of giving those who may be curious about .NET a chance to try (and learn) with absolutely no risk what-so-ever.
Any Idea when the Classified Starterkit will come out of Beta version and give away a full fledged final starterkit.
Pl. inform us.
I took a look and even installed it. It looks nice but it is missing and I think will be, some core nice feature that I consider a must have, for example, multicategory listing.
It's very nice that VWD and the other express tools are free forever. The competitor mustn't do lawsuits against MS, since some of them do also give away basic editions of their software for home and student usage. Before VS 2005 Express Edition Microsoft hasn't released any Integrated Development Environment for free. The former Standard editions as known as Learning editions of the IDEs have always been bare-bones versions with very limited capabilities. The Express editions from VS 2005 have more capabilities. Is's a good step of Microsoft, because of true competition.

I started yesterday!
It is so difficult to take a good pic with such a dark color... you can try to put some more light on your screen if you want to see the Twisted Rib Pattern...This is what I did during the week-end and I'm really happy with the result! It seems that the size is OK (that's always such a problem for me!...) and it's a pleasure to knit with that yarn (Ideal by Bergere de France, 50% wool).
Thanks for looking!

During the Conservation Seminars that I attended at the Bassmaster Classic, we were given numerous presentations on nationwide problems that have significant
impacts on environments and what is being done to help reverse effects & potentially save them.
This area of the Mississippi Delta is in line to receive funds from BP to help repair the damages done. The federal government is hinting that those monies may not
be directed for that but may be directed at other unrelated issues. We have been asked for their help.
This is a contact your legislators effort much like that being done by "Keep America Fishing" to defeat our lead ban law.

Senate Passes Historic Measure Funding Gulf Restoration, Land Conservation
Vote facilitates restoration of resources, economies affected by Deepwater Horizon oil spill,
funds federal Land and Water Conservation Fund at $700 million over two years
WASHINGTON The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership roundly praised todays Senate vote passing a measure that would facilitate restoration activities in Gulf Coast regions affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and expand funding for land conservation across the nation.
This afternoons passage of the amendment to the Senate Transportation Bill advances the RESTORE the Gulf Coast Act, which dedicates 80 percent of Clean Water Act penalties charged to BP to restoration of Gulf Coast resources and economies. It also includes two years of dedicated funding, at $700 million per year, to the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which uses a portion of revenues from offshore oil and gas leasing to conserve fish and wildlife habitat and increase access and recreation opportunities for sportsmen and the general public. Following todays vote, the Senate as well as the House of Representatives will consider the full Transportation Bill, likely later this year.
Todays vote stands as a shining example of how conservation policy can be and should be bipartisan, said TRCP President and CEO Whit Fosburgh. Sportsmen of all stripes, whether saltwater anglers or big-game hunters, can celebrate this historic action and the movement of thoughtful conservation policy through Congress. Its also important to note that this vote represents an investment in the nations conservation- and recreation-based economy, which supports more than 9 million jobs across the country.
Nationally, activities related to fishing support more than 1 million jobs and contribute almost $125 billion annually to the economy, with the Gulf region alone supporting more than 82,000 jobs and $8 billion in economic output.
During this time of fiscal uncertainty, the RESTORE Act plays a central role in restoring the Gulf and its outdoor-based economy, said Jim Martin, a biologist who is conservation director of the Berkley Conservation Institute. Todays commendable Senate vote due in part to the strong leadership of Gulf State Senators Landrieu, Nelson and Shelby will provide the Gulf region with much-needed resources to help this challenged area regain its economic footing and restore its identity as one of the most ecologically diverse and fecund parts of the nation.
The LWCF has helped conserve some of Americas richest fish and wildlife habitat and most popular sporting destinations and has maintained access for hunting, fishing and shooting. Congress, however, has consistently diverted these funds from their intended purpose.
Hunters and anglers are losing access by the day to our traditional places to hunt and fish, said William H. Geer, TRCP climate change initiative manager. The Land and Water Conservation Fund provides funding to purchase public access to hunting and fishing areas, maintain important waterfowl nesting sites on prairie potholes, conserve functional habitat for a range of game and non-game species and offer a valuable tool for ranching families and communities to maintain the economic viability of working landscapes.
Sportsmen offer thanks to our Senate leaders particularly Montana Senators Baucus and Tester for this foresighted action in support of Americas outdoors traditions and outdoors-based economy, continued Geer, a resident of Lolo, Mont., which facilitates the responsible management of the federal public lands and waters that sustain our fish and wildlife populations and shared natural resources.
Inspired by the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt, the TRCP is a coalition of organizations
and grassroots partners working together to preserve the traditions
of hunting and fishing.

Submitting A Patch
Before you begin
We prefer small, well tested pull requests. Note that we are unlikely to accept pull requests that add features without prior discussion. The best way to propose a feature is to first open an issue, ping the #dev channel in slack and discuss your ideas before implementing them.
It's possible that we'll encourage you to write a "design doc" if your change is large or impactful enough. There are no formal requirements, but we encourage you to discuss the following points:
- Why this change is necessary, and what problem(s) it solves.
- What alternatives you considered.
- How it will integrate with other Spinnaker features.
- A rough, technical plan of the work required.
- What integration testing you think is necessary.
- (Optional) Implementation milestones you plan to hit.
Once your design doc is ready, the community will review it and leave feedback.
When you initiate a Pull Request from Github
- Provide a descriptive title for your changes.
- Add inline code comments to changes that might not be obvious.
- Squash your commits when you first submit your PR, and again when it's ready to be merged. It's much easier to review incremental changes to feedback when the commits are kept separate.
Commit message conventions
Please follow the following conventions in your git commit messages.
Once you've implemented a bug fix or feature, it's time to submit a patch to Spinnaker. In order to track and summarize the changes happening in Spinnaker, we use a changelog automation tool called clog which scrapes information from commit messages. We follow the 'conventional' commit message format.
As a summary, messages should be formatted like:
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<empty line>
<empty line>
|A new feature. Please also link to the issue (in the body) if applicable. Causes a minor version bump.
|A bug fix. Please also link to the issue (in the body) if applicable.
|A documentation change.
|A code change that does not affect the meaning of the code, (e.g. indentation).
|A code change that neither fixes a bug or add a feature.
|A code change that improves performance.
|Adding missing tests.
|Changes to build process or auxiliary tools or libraries such as documentation generation.
|Changes to configurations that have tangible effects on users, (e.g. renaming properties, changing defaults, etc).
The type of keyword affects the next semantic version bump. The
feat keyword causes a minor version bump, while the rest of the keywords cause a patch version bump. Major version bumps are triggered by the presence of the words
BREAKING CHANGE in the commit message body. This is covered more in Body.
If you don't use one of the previous types (or don't follow the convention), your commit will not be included in the generated changelog. Your change will still affect the next semantic version bump, but it will be considered a patch change, not a major or minor change (even if the change is a breaking change or a feature).
If you submit a pull request with multiple commits and choose to Squash and Merge the pull request, the individual commit message are not added to the changelog, only the pull request message is. To include each commit in your pull request in the changelog and next version calculation, merge the changes without squashing.
scope of the commit message indicates the area or feature of Spinnaker the commit applies to. For instance, if you were to submit a patch to the Google provider in Clouddriver, your commit message might look something like:
feat(provider/google): Updated forwarding rule schema.
or if you submit a fix pertaining to authentication in Gate:
fix(authN): Fixed session authentication coherence.
scope is purposefully left open-ended, but try to group similar changes using the same value. Changes that have the same
scope will be grouped together during changelog generation:
- Some_scope
- First feature goes here.
- Second feature goes here.
subject should be a short summary of the patch.
body should include any detailed information about the patch; however, these can also go in the pull request body.
Any information about breaking changes should be present in the footer. To signify a breaking change, add one line at the end of the commit message with 'BREAKING CHANGE' in the line:

Exploring the Roots of Intergenerational Ageism[i]
I recently came across a research article (cited below) that can be very useful to ICAL: Intergenerational Centre for Action Learning.
[Go to ical.ca]. In this coming year our non-profit company, bc-communitybuilding [go http://www.bc-communitybuilding.com/] will begin a project using artistic activities to strengthen intergenerational relations and hopefully take another step in combating ageism.
The material in this blog entry is gathered from the article cited below. It is becoming increasingly clear that we must now increase our anti-ageism campaign. The population is aging and we are continuing to struggle with an economic downturn (recession? depression?)
The authors, after an extensive journal search tell us that "Whatever the reason, age-based prejudice remains drastically under investigated, despite the salience of age in interpersonal judgments." Those who hold stereotypes, including ageism, go on to create "…pernicious short- and long-term consequences." These consequences can be subtle and complex.
For instance the consequences are found in medicine where schools underemphasize geriatrics leading to medical mistreatment. In employment where "…evidence indicates that older applicants are rated less positively than younger ones, even when they are similarly qualified." And this is just some of the areas.
Ageism can be very subtle and not hostile for instance "… well-meaning people unwittingly speak to older people using benevolent yet patronizing baby talk and demeaning, exaggeratedly slow and loud over accommodation."
As a consequence of ageism many seniors "…internalize negative stereotypes becoming more forgetful, sickly, and depressed, simply because they anticipate adopting such characteristics in their later life."
The authors go on to explore some theories used to explain ageism. I suggest that you go to the original article and explore them. If you have access you can find it on Psych Info or the author's email address cited below.
Here are just some of the additional topics discussed:
· Benevolent Prejudices
· Empirical Bases for Intergenerational Pessimism
· Elder Optimism
· Age Specific interests
· Ensuring Successful Intergenerational contact
· Cross-Cultural Explorations
· Ageism against the young
[i] North, Michael S. & Fiske, Susan, T., Intergenerational Ageism and it's potential intergenerational roots. Psychological Bulletin, 19391455, 20120901, Vol, 138, Issue 5.

|Press releases are announcements of events worthy of news, and should be written in third person. You may want to announce the launch of its new business, your website, blogs or any event which could be related to your business.A press release is one of the best techniques for publicizing an event or calling attention to an issue. A well-written, well-distributed and well-timed press release is not difficult or expensive to produce, yet can be effective and useful.
Press release writing is definitely not easy. For this reason, Seoquest has pulled together tried and true examples of winning press releases covering various topics that will help toward a successful media campaign.So isn't worth while to at least check out the benefits of using press releases in your marketing methods? A little work now could reap amazing results.
Instead of trying to describe how to write a press release, I decided it would be useful to include a real version of the press in the sample. Here (in italics) is a press release announcing I wrote for my company.

I should probably write a separate implementation for
Int and
Word. For
Integer, I see no short-cuts in
integerSquareRoot for testing whether it is a square, while for
Int and
Word we can skip the check for the one-too-large in
isSquare. Also, for
Int and
Word it is indeed quite possible that fewer remainder checks are faster, I wrote and tested the
isPossibleSquare checks for (larger)
Integers, where computing the floor of the square root is much more expensive, so three or four divisions to reduce the number of square roots to compute pay off. But for the fixed-width types, I haven't measured, so one additional check after the bit-masking may be better than two. Possibly even none.
isSquare shouldn't use isqrtInt', and its design should be re-examined
isSquare takes an integer square root. This doesn't seem to be necessary—although truncating the approximate square root ((truncate::Double -> Int) . sqrt . fromIntegral) of a number can give a result that's off by one, this does not appear to happen if the number is actually square, so the extra test doesn't accomplish anything. See maaartinus's proof that Double arithmetic is always good enough to find square roots of square Int64s for a detailed discussion.
It also probably makes sense to do some testing to see whether the possible square functions strike the right speed/precision balance. An answer maaartinus gives to this question suggests it may be better to be faster at the expense of precision, because additional or more precise tests may blow away any advantage over floating point square roots. My own answer to that question is a slight simplification that may or may not be slightly faster. Working modulo 64 allows for some absurdly fast and simple bitvector indexing (using rotateL or rotateR and a sign test), but there may well be ways to make some stronger tests fast as well.
Comments (2)
I should probably write a separate implementation for
If I read it right, you already do, using some funky RULEs. It would probably be good to expose functions specifically for Int(N) and Word(N). Integer is inherently a mess. Shouldn't the number of tests for Integer be dynamically chosen depending on size, with no fixed upper bound?

First Rock Band gameplay movie from Gamespot.
But it is so damn similar to Guitar Hero, wont there end up being some legal battle?
Yes harmonix (the people that made GH 1 and 2) were bought and are now making rock band (which looks awesome)and now a new company is making guitar hero 3
The true Rock Band experience and fun can be had only with full set and thats just too expensive, but I cant resist... must... buy.
Hopefully Activision and EA will get with the synergy and make sure controllers are compatible etc. I'm definitely getting Rockband with all the controllers - I want GH3 as well, but if I have to buy more controllers... I'll have to think about it (I already spent a lot on GH and GH2!). I also hope that the mic works for Singstar and the like as well as I'll be more likely to get into that if I don't have to buy more hardware. Please devs, don't miss this opportunity to sell me more games ! :)
