Can of Worms: series finale, Channel Ten, 8.30pm
I'M GLAD Can of Worms was given a second chance (and a third, by being included in next year's schedule). It's a show that continues to evolve and, while not every episode fires, I have to say I'd watch this over Q&A any day, not least because it reliably delivers honest opinions, and usually on subjects I'm actually interested in. Chrissie Swan has also more than proven herself as host this year. She has a wonderfully warm, relaxed screen presence. Importantly, she's also a very effective moderator, gently but persistently bringing her interlocutors back to the point. Like all such shows, the quality varies depending on the guests, and the topics. So while some episodes have been a bit ho-hum, some have been crackers, and some topics have really resonated. What you can count on is all matters will be discussed intelligently, and from a range of perspectives.
What Killed Arafat?, ABC News 24, 9.30pm
BY CALLING this What Killed Arafat? rather than Who Killed Arafat? this comprehensive documentary from Al Jazeera at least pretends it's keeping an open mind. But it's clear from the outset that ''old age'' was never going to be the answer. Instead, armed with Yasser Arafat's complete medical records this investigation attempts to answer why the Palestinian leader was in rude health one day, and dead a month later. The answers lead widow Suha Arafat to ask for a judicial inquiry, and for her husband's body to be exhumed. So if this isn't the most scintillating piece of filmmaking, it's certainly a powerful one. It's also a reminder that the Arab news network is lavishly resourced, and capable of the kind of resource-intensive investigative journalism ABC News 24 can only dream of.
Hit & Miss, ABC2, 9.30pm
SOMETIMES, it's good to know nothing about a show. Certainly when I tuned in to this latest Paul Abbott brainchild last week, I was shocked and delighted in equal measure. First: Chloe Sevigny. I love Chloe Sevigny, both for her warped on-screen presence, and her left-field choice of roles. Then: Chloe Sevigny as a hitman. Cool. And then … Chloe Sevigny as a hitman WHO IS ACTUALLY A MAN. Or at least a man trying to become a woman. Who, if that wasn't enough, becomes guardian to the feral children of her former lover, one of whom is her son. The inchoate yearnings of Mia (Sevigny) feel achingly real, as do the confusion and hostility and equally powerful yearnings of the kids.
The X Factor, Channel Seven, 7.30pm
THEY say big notes win votes and, as this competition hurtles towards its finale, we're certainly getting plenty of those. The other thing that wins votes is ''relatability'' in the contestants, and nothing demonstrates the demographic of The X Factor like the acts who just keep on winning - or losing - regardless of the quality of their performance. (I've really been feeling Guy Sebastian's tetchy bewilderment as his crew are voted off one by one.) Anyhoo, it's a big night tonight as the final four sing-off to decide who goes in to the grand final.
Person of Interest, Channel Nine, 9.30pm
''YOU are being watched,'' Michael Emerson's Mr Finch intones over the opening credits. It's an interesting concept, especially given the baying in some quarters for more security cameras on our own streets. Because as Mr Finch also points out, unless you have a giant steampunk sci-fi computer like he does, all those cameras wont prevent crimes. They'll only help solve them. And only if someone cares. Luckily, he a) cares; b) has a giant steampunk sci-fi computer; and c) a remarkably capable offsider in Mr Reese (Jim Caviezel), who can sneak around shooting people or snapping their necks before said crime can be committed. For better or worse, though, all that still exists only on the small screen in this flawed but always interesting series, in which each episode is always packed with ideas.
Mega Truckers, Monday, A&E, 7.30pm
YOUNG Queensland trucking magnate Jon Kelly talks the talk, but does he walk the walk? He's good at threatening his staff - ''If you f--- up, if anything goes wrong, I will burn your f---ing house down'' - but can he cut it when it comes to hauling the super-heavy wide loads that have made him millions?
Tonight we find out. With too much business and not enough drivers, Kelly has to get out from the desk and haul a 115-tonne bulldozer the 820 kilometres from Toowoomba to a Blackwater coalmine. The bulldozer is so big that it's usually transported in four parts, but the mine wants it in one piece. Truck and dozer together are seven metres wide, 5½ metres high and weigh nearly 200 tonnes, and Kelly has to contend with narrow roads and police curfews on a tight deadline.
Kelly is a natural TV talent who is good at explaining things. A heavy truck crawling uphill, he explains, can rip up a sun-softened road and ''spit that bitumen out in chunks the size of family pizzas''. Back at base, Kelly's employees set to grousing when he rehires an unpopular driver he had sacked.
It's great to see that the one-off doco succeeded in spawning a series. Mega Truckers might not be as life-and-death as Deadliest Catch or Abalone Wars, but it's as interesting and well made as any blue-collar reality show on the box.
Inside Cricket, Fox Sports 2, 8.30pm
The incisive and entertaining duo of Brendon Julian and Allan Border return to discuss the latest cricket news from Australia and around the world with expert guests.
Silence of the Bees, Nat Geo Wild, 8.30pm
Documentary looking at colony collapse disorder, which has seen honey bee numbers fall by 80 per cent in the US and is now spreading to Europe.
The Graham Norton Show, UKTV, 9.40pm
Graham Norton chats to Madonna.
Bliss (2012), World Movies (pay TV), 8.30pm
THERE is almost universal agreement that the great new writer is Ferdinand von Schirach. One of Germany's most successful defence attorneys, in 2009 he published a book of short stories named Crime. It was a worldwide bestseller, translated into more than 30 languages, and followed quickly by Guilt and The Collini Case. Schirach has a simple mantra, taught to him by his grandfather, a judge: ''Most things are complicated, and guilt always presents a bit of a problem.'' Crime's ''Bliss'' is about a prostitute from eastern Europe, a fat dead client and a young criminal. You don't want to know any more, because Schirach's tales are totally unpredictable. Director Doris Dorrie, a leading light in German feminist cinema for decades (Naked, Me and Him), faced many challenges in this first adaptation of Schirach's work - the short story is a scant 11 pages long - but she has fashioned a fascinating and challenging film.
Possession (2002), Movie Greats (pay TV), 8.30pm
NEIL LaBute's Possession is a rapturous adaptation of A.S. Byatt's novel, a dazzling romantic conceit whereby two love affairs a century apart interact. In a gloriously photogenic England, true love thrives - believably.

Every winter we get a few birds hanging around our area that are fairly rare but which appear as singletons with some regularity. For example, harlequin ducks, beautiful birds from the far north that usually winter off the rocky Maine coast, can be seen off the Cape in several locations almost every winter. There may be one or two that spend a good part of the winter by the canal jetty each winter and there always seems to be at least one seen at Nauset or Coast Guard Beach. I have seen them in both locations each winter for at least 10 years but just the one or two.
King eiders are another northern duck that seems to make a yearly appearance here on the Cape in the winter. Most often seen with the flocks of eider ducks in or around the Cape Cod Canal one can sometimes be seen off the outer Cape beaches or off Sandy Neck, which may be the same one seen by the canal. That's a king eider smack in the center, hanging out with his common eider buddies.
Some years I spy one but for the last few years when a king eider has been reported at the canal I have missed it. This year reports have been coming in over the last few weeks that a very accommodating king eider drake was being seen daily by the herring run on the Wareham side of the canal. The weather was rough and I was busy and I enjoyed everyone else's photos. Until yesterday. Yesterday we were heading to New Bedford so we had a chance to stop and see the bird.
As everyone else had mentioned, it was indeed, right there and easy to spot. I do not have a fancy camera so you can see how close the bird was. If you're so inclined, go see it. One of these days it will leave but for now it seems quite content to hang out eating shellfish and crustaceans which are abundant in the canal, especially along the rocky jetties.

There is an aspect of The Star Layoff Story that has yet to be examined. It's far to simple to cry crocodile tears for the folks who were let go. In fact, I'm a bit more concerned with who made the cut.
One layoff after the next there will be clueless folks and pouting Star employees who will still tout the company's business acumen. I imagine that they'll keep doing this until the company is eventually sold off again and all but a skeleton crew remain.
Think about this: Obviously, the days of newsprint published on Dead Trees are rapidly coming to an end. Someday sooner than we all think the Star will be just another Web page and their competitive advantage will completely disappear. Every day the declining circulation and demographic that indicate folks don't read the paper anymore puts them even further behind the broadcast outlets.
Still, media analysis on a grand scale is far above the pay grade of Star newsies grinding away every day. And these last remaining personalities at the so-called "paper of record" are the folks who really interest me.
Let's make a list. I've been thinking about a couple of Star reporters who have obviously outstayed their usefulness and the fact that they remain employed really speaks to the kind of business acumen that's presiding over the collapse of the newspaper publishing industry. Or maybe I'm being too unfair, Einstein couldn't have saved the horse and carriage industry after the advent of the automobile.
Nevertheless, let's think deeply about these newsies who have survived so much layoff carnage:
1. Aaron Barnhart – C'mon, I've yet to see one thing penned by this guy that wasn't more interesting and broadcast earlier on Entertainment Tonight. I don't begrudge the dude a paycheck, I just can't believe that Star couldn't save some productive people by replacing a guy who serves up content that could more easily (and inexpensively) come from the wire. Also, the dude's colleagues don't really seem to like him if all the encouraging e-mails I get are any indication.

An Orleans Parish jury has found two men guilty of second-degree murder in the March 2013 shooting death of a Xavier University of Louisiana pre-med student.
Multiple media outlets report that 22-year-old defendants Glynn Hawkins and Alex Lewis were convicted Wednesday and will face mandatory life sentences in the slaying of 19-year-old Bertrand Dezara III. Hawkins was convicted by an 11-1 vote, while Lewis was convicted by a 10-2 vote.
Prosecutors said the two men took Dezara from an eastern New Orleans apartment and then shot him in the courtyard of the complex.
A third defendant, Jerrel Bryer, also has been indicted for second-degree murder in the case, but he...

Friday's Villa Transfer Rumours + Bid Rejected?
According to the Daily Star today, Bolton and Villa are in a war.... (huh, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again)... sorry... for Tottenham and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson who apparently is being shipped out of White Hart Lane for a fee of around £5million. Hmmm, Villa or Bolton, wonder which he'll choose?
The Sun say that Liverpool have upped their offer by £2million to £12m for Gareth Barry. Reports elsewhere say that Villa won't accept any less than £16million, which is the price that Liverpool have put on their midfielder Alonso. They also price Peter Crouch at £15million and he only has one year left on his contract, so Rafa mini me Tom Jones look-alike, put that in your pipe and smoke it! The £12m bid, according to the report, has been rejected immediately. The report goes on to say that Barry has been offered £70 000 a week by Villa but that Barry has set his heart on Champions League football. What, sitting on the bench for Liverpool whilst they play CL football with their mad rotation system?
Some reports are saying that Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is playing hardball over the Scott Carson fee. Err, yes... and? Liverpool are more than entitled to price the goalkeeper at £10million if they wish. Villa - nor anyone else unless they are totally mad will pay that but that is a decision for the Anfield lot and them alone. Although with even the goalkeeper himself admitting he is over priced and that he is still young and has lots to learn, you do have to wonder at a £10million valuation.
Rafa on the price tag for Carson in the Liverpool Echo, Echo, Echo: 'It is a matter between the clubs. We agreed the fee with Aston Villa last year. The fee has been there for one season so to talk about the fee now is not correct.' Adding 'We agreed with Martin O'Neill and that was the situation.'
Fair enough, we won't buy him at that they won't sell him for less, move on. It is a load of rubbish to say Liverpool are playing hardball or that Carson is too expensive for Villa in the headlines of other reports though. The fact of the matter - and the player agrees - he is over priced. I'm not totally sure he is worth half that in truth, but then again, what the hell do I know!!!! Please don't answer that, I do have feelings you know!

Kim Kardashian wasn't the only one celebrating a birthday this weekend.
Bruce Jenner, who turns 64 today, enjoyed a family dinner in his honor on Sunday.
"Such a fun early Birthday dinner for my Brucey," Khloé Kardashian Odom tweeted. I am so lucky!!! I was blessed with TWO phenomenal fathers!!! Family first."
She later tweeted, "He deserves not one but TWO cakes. A few of his favorite things," along with an Instagram photo of a couple of cakes, one decorated with a large golf ball, the other with a helicopter.
Khloé then uploaded a pic captioned "Silly sisters @kendall jenner #BrucesBirthdayDinner" showing her and Kendall playfully sporting fake moustaches.
And despite being separated from Bruce, Kris Jenner was also on hand for the get-together and happily posted a shot as well, writing, "Just another family Sunday dinner!!
Bruce and Kris announced their separation last month after 22 years of marriage.
"We are living separately and we are much happier this way," the pair exclusively told E! News at the time. "But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."

It's NATIONAL CRAFT MONTH y'all! Did you know? Honestly every month is craft month around here…..but this is NATIONAL craft month!
I am sharing my Nautical Pallet Flags today as part of Jo-ann Fabric and Craft Stores® National Craft Month campaign. One of the hot trends this Spring is all things Nautical. And I have to say, I am falling for it! Like hook, line, and sinker ; )
Nautical Pallet Flags
-Rustic Pallet 11×11
-Americana craft paint
-Paint brushes
I wanted to transform my wood pallets into nautical flags replicas. So I did some searching around and found some images of flags that I liked. I decided to stick with basic Americana colors for my flags.
All three pallets got started with a coat of white craft paint. It acted as a "primer" and an easy way to paint on the white areas.
Then it was time to tape off the pallets and create the actual flag designs. By the way, I love this painters tape!!! I used the blue and red craft paint to finish off the pallet flags. I tried to pick flags that would be easily replicated onto the pallets.
I wanted the flags to look old and weathered so I busted out the sanding block and got to work. I gave all the pallets a really good sanding.
I did end up spraying the pallets with some clear spray paint I had on hand to protect them. They were super easy to hang with the cross pieces of wood on the back of the pallets. You could add a picture hanger to it or just rest it on a couple nails.
I made three pallet flags because I love decorating in threes, just feels right. It also gave me the opportunity to make three different kinds of flags, each one different but coordinated.
I absolutely love these pre-made pallet signs! Jo-Ann stores has a variety of them now, in different sizes and shapes. They make doing a project like this a breeze! I have a ton of ideas for these, there are endless options!
Jo-Ann makes Spring crafting easy during National Craft Month with a $5 off $25 or more purchase coupon and a Spring crafting inspiration website. Seriously they have made it so easy for you! crafting inspiration to get you going and a coupon to make it happen!!!
I think these Nautical Pallet Flags would make great decorations to transition from Spring to Summer as well.
Are you loving the nautical trend right now?
My Spring Craft Stash Giveaway is ending tonight at 12am CST TONIGHT!!! There are a bunch of super easy ways to enter and there is an awesome box of craftiness up for grabs!

The Power of Colors to Affect Mood and Performance
How do you feel right now? It may depend more on the colors surrounding you than you would expect. The following studies only scratch the surface of how colors can affect our performance and well-being.
"Warm" Colors Increase Thermal Comfort
Color can affect how warm you feel, even if you are merely thinking of a color.
One study placed participants in chambers filled with either red or blue light. It found that the participants in the chambers with red light preferred an ambient temperature a few degrees lower (0 to 4 degrees Celsius) than those in the blue-lit chambers.[1]
More impressively, a Harvard study found that when meditation practitioners visualized red hot embers or flames within their bodies (as part of a practice known as "Tummo"), they were able to increase their body temperature in their extremities by as much as 8.3 °C (14.9 °F).[2]
Pink Reduces Aggression
Research into color schemes within California prisons found that the color pink has a tremendous tranquilizing effect on aggressive behavior — so much so that when the muscular strength of 153 subjects was tested before and after momentarily viewing a pink sheet of construction paper, only 2 did not demonstrate a loss in strength.
Another study of 38 subjects showed that the color pink can decrease muscular strength by 6 to 38 percent. The hue has been successfully used as the wall color in prison holding cells to calm inmates, and the effect has been proven to occur regardless of whether the subject tries to control it — even when tested on those with extensive practice in martial arts or yoga.[3]
Red Makes You Anxious, Hinders Creative Thinking
At least four experiments show that the color red decreases performance on IQ tests in comparison to other colors (i.e., green, black, white, or gray), and one study shows that perceiving red evokes an "avoidance motivation" — that is, participants opted to engage in easy tasks instead of difficult tasks.[4] This "avoidance motivation" tends to increase performance on detail-oriented tasks but hinder performance on creative tasks.[7]
The "avoidance" mindset is further seen in the effects of the color red in sports. Competitors that face opponents wearing red lose games and competitions significantly more often.[5]
Finally, a study of adults given typing tasks within either red or blue offices found that those kept in red offices reported higher anxiety and stress.[6]
Green Reduces Stress
Notice that surgeon gowns are usually green or blue. Surveys of people who were shown pictures of hospital rooms of different colors found that green walls had a slight stress-reducing effect while orange walls had a slight arousal-inducing effect. The effect was more pronounced for those who qualified as "low-screeners", a proxy used in the experiment for sensitivity to environmental changes.[8]
Blue is Relaxing, Enhances Creativity
"Cool" colors such as blue tend to have a relaxing effect, opposite that of "warm" colors such as red and orange. Authorities in Glasgow, Scotland and Nara, Japan found that installing blue lighting in certain areas significantly decreased crime rates.[9]
Two studies show that blue enhances performance on creative tasks.[10]
White Promotes Trust
Ever wonder why almost all government buildings are white? A study on marketing students found that when they were exposed to advertisements with "high-value colors" (those with a whitish pigment), they were more relaxed and found the advertised brand more likable.[11]
Yellow Promotes Hunger and Social ActivityMcDonald's picked the perfect color for its golden arches. A study of guests in different colored cocktail party rooms (i.e., red, blue, and yellow) found that guests were more socially active in both red and yellow rooms, but that those in the yellow rooms ate twice as much. On the other hand, those in the red rooms reported feeling hungrier and thirstier.[12]
While on the topic of hunger, if you want to make your meals more filling, one study found that people consume less when dish colors have a high contrast with the food color (causing a 22% reduction in serving size) and a high contrast with the tablecloth (causing a 10% reduction in serving size).[13] Another found that strawberry mousse was perceived as sweeter and more intense when served on a white versus a black plate.[14]
A Color for Every Context
It'd be silly to singularly promote or condemn certain colors in homes. The psychological effects of colors vary not only between cultures, but between individuals and with the type of activity being performed.
The key takeaway is that color schemes should remain flexible. One highly flexible way to play with different colors in a building interior is through color-changing LED lights, such as the Philips Hue Lighting System, which allows you to select various color schemes and effects through an App on a smart device such as an iPhone.

Following yesterday's description of how Grand Theft Auto Online will run on the PS4 and Xbox One, Rockstar released some interesting statistics about GTA Online. To many players, however, more interesting than the game's stats is a new promise about the ever-elusive heists.
"We know you're all excited for more Updates to come and we've got some really exciting stuff in the works to continue adding to, expanding and evolving the world of Grand Theft Auto Online – including the highly anticipated launch of Online Heists which will be available for all four consoles as the first GTA Online Update to happen after the game launches on PS4 and Xbox One. We'll have some details on that very soon as well."
Yes, it is now confirmed that heists will be in the very first update GTA Online receives following the November 18 launch. Skepticism remains — some users are concerned this is no more a guarantee than when heists were first promised for the spring update, while others point to the unclear release date, as Rockstar promises to give details on the update "very soon." Nevertheless, it looks like heists are on their way at last!
After that little reassurance, Rockstar went on to deliver GTA Online statistics from October 1, 2013 through October 31, 2014. In that time span, 33,384,423 people played GTA Online worldwide, across 224 countries. A handy infographic provides details on the number of jobs played and created, vehicles and weapons owned, the most popular items, and more.
This really shows just how popular GTA Online is, and it's interesting to see how the data breaks down. Rockstar also added a comment to the post to explain where they get their country data from and provide a fun fact: there are 7 GTA Online players in the Vatican City, and one lone player in Antarctica.
On a separate note, the European PlayStation blog has provided an overview on how the PlayStation 4 Dualshock 4 controller will work with GTA V, as we briefly touched on before.
So, what do you think? Let us know if you believe heists are really coming soon or not, and if you're one of those 7 people in the Vatican City or Antarctica's sole player, give us a shout!

Ever since I started being more conscious about what I eat at home, I knew I had to have my own personal smoothie maker. It makes eating a variety of fruits much easier since I can just toss all the ingredients in the container and blend away! So when we had our yearly virtual Christmas… Continue Reading… Continue Reading

I feel like we've talked about this before.
Maybe I'm remembering the takedown of the JavaScript remake of SMB. Either way, Nintendo are being assholes about this stuff. Maybe create some new games and consoles instead of protecting your 30-year-old stuff!
What the deuce? Yes, there are *some* people out there who use ROMs, hacked or otherwise, for their speedruns, but there are quite a few people who do them using stock consoles and vanilla cartridges. I can understand Nintendo getting upset about hacked gameplay, but they should not penalize people who glitch games or simply try to play as fast as possible.
Not only that, but there are things like Retrode ( https://www.dragonbox.de/en/63... [dragonbox.de] ) that allow you to make your own ROM - file from an original cartridge that you own or just play directly from the cartridge using an emulator.
There is absolutely nothing about a speedrun being tool-assisted that requires pirated software. The Retrode I just linked, for example, is a really easy and simple way of using your own, original cartridges. Also, there are plenty of videos on the Internet where people are using original consoles and cartridges connected to automated, modified controllers -- ie. tool-assisted runs.
Really? Nintendo had it in their console license agreement that you could not use third-party controllers? Or that you could only use Nintendo-licensed third-party controllers?
I don't think having a robot arm control the controller can be considered modifying the system. And I can't see how Nintendo could prove that this isn't how you did it.
Sworn deposition would probably do it. Having to swear on a stack of holy bibles can plain rattle some folks.
If you read the article you'll see that they're targeting tool-assisted speedruns, i.e.: ones that use pirated software.
They have absolutely no way of knowing if the software used is pirated or not.
They just assume that it is pirated since it is easier to use pirated software than licensed software in this case.
I also assume that Nintendo are illegally bribing politicians and should be considered a criminal organization since it is easier to get to a dominant market position that way. Just like Nintendo I don't have any proof to back my speculations up with.
The summary and Slashdot headline are inaccurate; the story makes clear that it's only talking about tool-assisted speedruns, which do require a ROM. (And the concrete example in the Times article refers to a hacked ROM.)
But you can dump your own ROM. Or at least, you can get the same version ROM that matches a cart you bought at the flea market. So that's not necessarily illegal, either.
Or at least, you can get the same version ROM that matches a cart you bought at the flea market.
This is illegal, you know [youtube.com], for the reasoning described in the opinion of the court in UMG v. MP3.com [wikipedia.org]. To take advantage of the necessary adaptation and backup provisions of US copyright law (17 USC 117), you have to dump the ROM yourself. And you can't just buy an NES Game Pak reader at the same flea market. Even the Retrode never supported NES format; it came with Super NES and Sega Genesis cartridge readers, and most adapters fit in one of those slots.
I know there used to be readers for NES games. I never owned one myself, I only had one for the SNES and Genesis. I forget who I gave it to long ago, accompanied by a big collection of floppies. I replaced the fdd in it before passing it along.
Kazzo [infiniteneslives.com] is a $20-30 USB device for Windows only (sigh). You get one connector for $20, $5 for each additional connector, and the options are NES, FC, and SNES — but the SNES connector is only for loading their SNES flash cart.
Not in Canada.
Are you sure? The Canadian government added several new restrictions to the Copyright Act in 2012 through the Copyright Modernization Act.
Here's a list of tool assisted speed runs that are actually run on real hardware with a real copy of software : http://tasvideos.org/Movies-Ve... [tasvideos.org]
Getting things to sync to real hardware is amazing that so much effort FROM FANS has gone into preserving these games in emulators that it works outside of those emulators.
It's also bullshit because that's a handy way to get kids into the guts of computing. They see it and think "I want to do that!" And they can. They can get an emulator, they can get the ROM, and all of a sudden they're looking at the machine code trying to figure out how it makes all the bleeps and the bloops on the screen.
I think that's missing in this age of locked-down everything. Back in my day (THERE. I SAID IT. I SAID IT.) I got into programming by copying the BASIC code for games out of the back of magazines into my Apple IIe. You realize all the stuff on the screen and all action comes from things humans wrote...and it's not really that much...and this is neat and all but how I make the ships move a little faster? Oh, that must be this part of the code right here...I'll change that to a 5 instead of a 4 and look the ships go faster!
Let them get an emulator, and let them get a homebrew ROM [pdroms.de]. Just stay away from infringing copies of games published by Nintendo itself.
Oh, come on, it's easier for young people today to get into the guts of computing than ever before. I remember as a child, the most I could do with my parent's Mac was play with Resedit or create little Forth programs that could hardly interface with the OS. All the cool stuff (C compilers, documentation) was extremely expensive. It was only in the 1990s that, thanks to the convergence of Free Software and x86, a person could get a serious dev environment for cheap. Kids these days can get a Raspberry Pi for cheap, install Linux, and immediately have access to all kinds of ways to tinker -- even quasi-professional documentation like O'Reilly books is free today thanks to torrents.
The 8-bit computers of the early to mid 80s are way simpler to understand and hack on for a kid than an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. When I was 7 there was no way I would have had any grasp on a C compiler. However, booting up my VIC-20 dumped me immediately to a BASIC interpreter where I could immediately begin to mess around. It wasn't very long before I was POKEing values into video memory to create simple animations and games based on program listings in books and magazines. Eventually I was creating my own programs from scratch with not much more than 5 or 6 simple commands and no tool chain to learn.
Modern systems might be far more capable and make it "easier" to create a sophisticated system, but there are many more layers of abstraction between you and the machine and a lot more to learn in order to make it do something useful.
The 8-bit computers of the early to mid 80s are way simpler to understand and hack on for a kid than an Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
If desired, a Raspberry Pi can be set up to dump the user right into an interpreted language. A child today can have the same experience as the early-mid 1980s plus a myriad of other ways to tinker, ranging from a variety of scripted languages to compiled code and even poking hardware values (all of which are well-documented on the Pi).
And while a compiler or whatever might have se
Do your kids a favour and NOT subject them to this. Don't fool them into thinking computers are a way to get a great career because they're not. At best they'll end up slaving on keyboards, at worst any mention of the knowledge garnered this way will make them "persons of interest". This is the world we live in now, unfortunately, and there's no changing it.
Yes, it's easier today to get into, but you have to go looking for it. Their playing games on the iPhones but they can't look at the code for the phone to see how it works.
Oh, come on, it's easier for young people today to get into the guts of computing than ever before.
Not true. Before, it used to be necessary to get into the guts of computing, eg the aforementioned typing in BASIC code from a magazine. Now it is technically easier, but no longer necessary -- so it can only be done by those few who possess the rare trait of initiative. Most will just browse the web and play games, because they rolled a critical fail on their initiative check.
"because that's a handy way to get kids into the guts of computing."
This is not Nintendo's problem, and they are under no obligation to facilitate it.
While Nintendo's position is not the best it could be, silly counterarguments just give them an excuse to dismiss alternatives.
Sorry, I didn't mean it's bullshit on the part of nintendo. I just mean from my own angle...I want kids to see more of the guts of computing, and this was a good angle.
On that I completely agree with you.
1. Retards -- let's piss off the consumers
2. Can someone smack Nintendo's Marketing dept with a sudden-outbreak-of-common-sense please?
Speed runs are FREE publicity.
This is the best advertising money can buy -- when consumers _willingly_ advertise your product for you without it costing you a cent!
3. Part of creating something for the culture to enjoy is that it BECOMES part of the culture -- ergo, the limited terms of copyright.
4. Why am I _not_ allowed to use an emulator if I legally have a physical cartridge? The medium is irrelevant -- I already purchased a license by physically buying the cartridge.
Speed runs are FREE publicity.
Not every publisher desires every type of publicity for every product it produces. Some publishers, for example, don't want modified versions of older products to compete with the same publisher's newer products. For example, if hackers mod all the new Super Smash Bros. For characters into Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo won't be able to sell as many copies of Super Smash Bros. For.

1. Retards -- let's piss off the consumers
Nintendo is the king of casual gaming (mobile phones excepted of course). The type of customers who care about this are an incredible minority by a far greater margin than for any other game company.
Nintendo has a long history of being staunchly anti-first-anything. I believe someone high up in Nintendo once compared the second-hand selling of their games to piracy. Sony and Microsoft have dropped region encoding with their latest consoles, while Nintendo keeps it up.
The only reason we haven't seen obscene DRM from Nintendo (like requiring the kind of things Microsoft tried to do with the Xbone) is because Nintendo is still trying to completely figure out how that internet thingy works.
I say all of thi
First of all, making sure that the existence of emulators is buried as deep as possible, since they somehow believe that it's the major cause of their lack of profits.
On top of that, they want every content featuring Nintendo IP to be licensed through their Nintendo Creators Program, which requires an approval of the video from Nintendo before publication and Nintendo getting a share of the profits from Youtube. They believe fair use basically never applies to any and whatever content produced which feature
I'm not sure what Nintendo's exact legal claim is (of course they'd rather not specify it!), but to this armchair lawyer is seems odd.
Since these videos are derivative works of the games, they are probably legal because they are fair use of the games (they display graphics from the game but aren't a substitute for the game etc). I guess Nintendo is claiming that "fair use" doesn't apply if your source is an infringing copy of the work. This is not impossible, though I don't see why it should be relevant. More importantly, I think that the custom ROMs involve fair use of Nintendo's ROMs, especially since Nintendo isn't offering new ROMs for sale.
I'm not sure what Nintendo's exact legal claim is (of course they'd rather not specify it!)
A video game is an audiovisual work, and Nintendo has the exclusive right under copyright law to perform its works publicly.
Since these videos are derivative works of the games
Nintendo has the exclusive right under copyright law to prepare derivative works of its works.
I guess Nintendo is claiming that "fair use" doesn't apply if your source is an infringing copy of the work.
This is true. I remember some courts interpreting the "purpose and character of the use" factor to rule out fair use defenses by alleged infringers who have unclean hands.
More importantly, I think that the custom ROMs involve fair use of Nintendo's ROMs, especially since Nintendo isn't offering new ROMs for sale.
Since when were Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World removed from Virtual Console?
The existence of Virtual Console versions of these games cancels out the claim of the usual abandonware apologists that 'there is no way to give Nintendo money' so they are entitled to pirate roms of the game.
Just as was the case when the games were sold in their original versions, you can presently buy a Nintendo 3DS handheld, then go onto the Nintendo online shop and buy the 'virtual console' versions of these games.
Nintendo does all the work for you: your purchase gets you a nicely set up game to play o
A video game is an audiovisual work, and Nintendo has the exclusive right under copyright law to perform its works publicly.
So does this mean that Twitch is a criminal enterprise? Also, does this mean that any game review is in violation copyright law, since they are derivative works based on the original audiovisual work? Also, you're leaving something out: a game is an interactive audiovisual work. A recording of a speedrun is not interactive.
I strongly suspect that Nintendo doesn't have any legal standi
So does this mean that Twitch is a criminal enterprise?
It is if it doesn't have a defense to copyright infringement. Following the OCILLA takedown procedure (17 USC 512) is one defense to copyright infringement that Twitch, YouTube, or another service provider can use.
Also, does this mean that any game review is in violation copyright law, since they are derivative works based on the original audiovisual work?
A review is infringing unless it has a defense, which is likely one based on the four factors of fair use (17 USC 107). For one thing, a review usually uses far less footage than a complete playthrough, which brings "amount and substantiality" in its favor more than it does for a speedrun video. S
Running pirated copies of their games is not 'embracing' them. Buy a Wii or a 3DS and buy a virtual console version of Contra and Super Mario Bros. Pirating their stuff is distancing yourself.
Just because something illegal was done somewhere in the process to produce the video doesn't automatically make the video itself illegal.
This seems like fair use and I don't see how the DMCA or any other law applies in this situation.
These people will just find a new streaming site to use... How do marketing teams think this helps?
Nintendo is very aggressive at eliminating anything it doesn't like. It really doesn't seem to get the notion of community or of just letting it slide. They also haven't quite got the hang of the Streisand Effect.
I can understand to a certain extent why they do this, but like the unofficial Pokemon party, they need to know when to turn a blind eye, or play community building tactics behind the scenes. BTW I am curious to know whether this action was by Nintendo Japan or Nintendo USA and how they vary in th
Let's start by acknowledging that piracy is a major issue for companies like Nintendo and that they should do something.
That being said I think they are doing the wrong things.
There was an article about a web browser playable version of the original Mario game whose developer got a take down notice from Nintendo. I understand Nintendo can't allow people to just post their games in a web browser format for free. The problem is that Nintendo should be hiring this developer and doing this themselves either s
Nintendo should have their own emulators and a ROM shopping site.
Nintendo has Virtual Console on the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U.
Let's start by acknowledging that piracy is a major issue for companies like Nintendo and that they should do something.
No. I don't acknowledge that at all. I think they are not harmed at all by piracy, of the traditional or electronic kind.
I am surprised Nintendo hasn't been more aggressive in enforcing its IP.
Like targeting http://www.supermariobrosx.org... [supermariobrosx.org] and Super Mario Bros X (a PC game that lets you build and play Mario levels, something in direct competition with their new Super Mario Maker game)
Or going after the many web sites selling arcade machines featuring unlicensed copies of Nintendo games in them.
Then why don't the SMBX developers make additional graphic skins that aren't pixel-for-pixel copies of Super Mario Bros. graphics?
If you create a painting using stolen paintbrushes, the painting is still yours.
Nintendo created some program, so that users can monetize ther LP's - AFTER Nintendo censored them of course.
Maybe this is a step to coax those players into this program, where Nintendo can silence all critics at will?
Or they just don't want the world to know that their Mario Games can be played through in mere minutes
(i know that's not true for all marios, but the older ones for sure)
This is now. Later is later.

What is "automatic writing"? Can this technique be of any benefit to you?
Please welcome my friend and fellow author Dean K Miller. I will allow him to explain. (Following his post, Dean has a free, but limited-time offer you'll want to be sure to take advantage of.)
Whose Voice Do We Hear?
by Dean K Miller
The ways authors find inspiration are as different as the individual authors themselves. Add to this mix the countless places writers find their words and stories and you can see why writing is such an individual (but not necessarily lonely) pursuit. But what if you heard a story being told to you, even if it didn't seem to be in your own voice? Would you trust those words?
A couple years ago I was working with a technique called "automatic writing." There are several definitions of automatic writing, but in general the practice allows one to channel your Higher Self or Spirit Guides through claircognizance and then transcribe that onto paper. (Here is one resource for automatic writing from Anna Sayce: http://annasayce.com/how-to-do-automatic-writing) After completing several sessions (always asking for protection before starting each one,) I found myself compelled to bring those words out to the real world. But how? The automatic writing was fragmented, seldom containing complete sentences or even entire thoughts. As one writes with this technique (without judgment or correction) the results appear as babbling, random words.
These unconscious ideas continually nagged my conscious brain to bring them to life. As I began to assemble my first book of essays, creative nonfiction, and poetry, I kept those writings in mind. Somewhere in the process I found the inspiration to work my automatic writing samples into a fictional tale. This allowed me to present the material in a manner that kept the most personal aspects and words private, but still permitted the collective positive vibes to be published. The Odyssey of a Monk was born.
The short story is about a young orphaned monk who leaves the Buddhist temple he was raised in, to venture out on his own. It was an exciting challenge to weave my automatic writing pieces into a fictional tale and its characters. First I needed to make coherent thoughts out of the bits and pieces I had written down. Weeding through each session's pages, I found common themes and intertwined them. Next I created various elders (monks, a shaman and others) to present these words of wisdom to the young monk as he travels the countryside. As the young monk encounters the wise elders, each one offers advice and answers the monk's questions via the passages from my writing sessions. The storyline flowed naturally from this process as each encountered gives the young monk the advice he needs at different points in his life.
Thanks Patricia for hosting me today and I hope your readers enjoy the free download of The Odyssey of a Monk, which is available for Kindle readers from Oct. 10 – 12. Here is the link for the Ebook: http://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-Monk-Dean-K-Miller-ebook/dp/B00O2A097I/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1412613430&sr=1-1&keywords=the+odyssey+of+a+monk
Dean K Miller is an author and free lance writer who resides in Loveland, CO. His first book, And Then I Smiled: Reflections on a Life Not Yet Complete was released in February 2014 via Hot Chocolate Press. The short story The Odyssey of a Monk opened to Kindle readers on September 29, 2014. His first poetry collection, titled Echoes: Reflections Through Poetry and Verse is scheduled for release November 1, 2014, also via Hot Chocolate Press.

This week, we are featuring excerpts from the five finalists for the 38th annual Toronto Book Awards. The award winner will be announced Oct. 11. Today, our third instalment: Andrew J. Borkowski's short story, "Twelve Versions of Lech," from his collection Copernicus Avenue, which weaves the stories of life in Toronto's Polish community following the Second World War.
Some lunatic had shot the Pope. Within hours of the shooting, the ground in front of his statue at the entrance to the Parish Trust was littered with flowers. I bought a single carnation and was furtively laying it on the pile when Lech emerged from the Trust office clutching a Hydro bill in his left hand. The hand skittered behind his back, as if he was embarrassed to be caught doing something as mundane as paying a bill. But he recovered when he realized what I was doing and recognized his philosophical advantage.
"Does this bother you, what has happened to Il Papa?"
"Of course," I said. "Doesn't it bother you?"
"Why should it? They always kill the Popes. Haven't you heard of Luc-r-r-r-ezia Borgia? She poisoned three of them. Her brothers!"
"But today …"
"Aha! You think because today we have garbage disposal and air conditioning this will not happen. Come on. I show you something."
Lech steered me down the length of Copernicus Avenue, bobbing among shoppers moored to the boxes of fruit and cheap underwear in front of the shops. We reached the bottom of the street where it widens into a multi-veined delta of streetcar tracks. At first, I thought he was taking me to the Katyn monument, but he brushed past the cleft bronze monolith with its candles dissolving in the sun. The Sunnyside Bridge vaulted us toward the blue skies over Lake Ontario, then set us down outside the Palais Royale. Around back of the old dance hall, on the sand at the water's edge, Lech stretched out his arms and offered himself to the place where the blue of the water met the blue of the air.
"Did you know Austrian was the first language of Kanada?"
"Yes. Do you know what the Indians said — in Austrian — when your Jacques Cartier asked what was the name of this place?"
"Exactly. Ka-na-da. And in Austrian this means Keine dar — 'nobody's there.' "
"I thought it meant 'village of small huts' or 'swamp' or something."
"No you are wrong. Because nobody thought about asking what those words mean until after they killed all the Indians with the smallpo — What you think about that? You live in a country where nobody knows what its name means. Do you read your great Canadian critics of literature?"
Lech swelled with pleasure at this lapse in my scholarship.
"They say the great question for you is 'Where is here?' So now you got the answer to that question.
The Indians give it you. You know where is here?"
"No, Lech. Why don't you tell me where is here?
"Here," he said, "is nowhere. And that, Aleksei, is a good, good place to be."
He turned to the lake and sang out in his roisterous baritone.
I followed his gaze to the vanishing point where, for the first time, I saw the inspiration for his Objects at the Speed of Nothing. I saw how the void had beckoned to him in a world murderous with ideas. Lech waded into the algae-clotted shallows my mother had always warned us about, his untucked shirt billowing like a sail. As I watched his reflection scatter in the surf, I felt anchored and old. At the same time I realized that, no matter how old we felt, I and all the spiritual expeditionists of Copernicus Avenue were still too young for the world that Lech had known.
We probably always would be.

In an effort to raise the visibility of the Twin Cities as a destination for some of the best, unscripted theater in the country, HUGE seeks to establish a home for those who love improv.
HUGE supports growth and visibility of our local improv community by producing shows, including Improv-A-Go-Go (since 2002) and the annual Twin Cities Improv Festival.
The Twin Cities is lucky to be rich with theater. Multiple smaller venues around town host well-attended solo performances, sketch-comedy, and improv shows. Additionally, there are interested students from all walks of life participating in three well-established schools; the Brave New Institute, ComedySportz and Stevie Ray's.
But even in this diverse theater landscape, there was no stage devoted to long form improvisation until HUGE. Long form improvisation is the art of creating performances that are unscripted. It is different than playing improvised "games" or improvising within a scripted piece. HUGE gives long form improvisation – and the people who enjoy performing and watching it – a stage.
Improv is theater for everybody. The raw material of improvisation is the honest expressions, experiences and passions of the performers and audience. It's immediate theater.
As an added bonus, good improvisation is built on conquering fears and working collaboratively in an accepting environment – skills that can't help but have a positive effect on those who acquire them. HUGE Theater believes that if people can improvise together and laugh together, they can do anything together.
Learn more about how you can help achieve our goals on our Fundraising page.
HUGE Theater began in 2005 with five improvisers – Butch Roy, Jill Bernard, Joe Bozic, Mike Fotis, and Nels Lennes – collaborating to produce "Creature Feature" and a weekly showcase in Southeast Minneapolis called "HUGE Wednesdays."
Butch, Jill and Nels continue to serve as the board of HUGE, while Mike and Joe have gone on to become educational directors at the Brave New Workshop, the nation's oldest satirical comedy theater.
Working with improvisers throughout the Twin Cities, HUGE consistently produces creative and entertaining performances, such as Ka-Baam!, Punch-Out, and Show X. Additionally, members of HUGE have performed and taught in over 30 states, and on three continents.
On December 5th, 2010, HUGE Theater opened its doors for the first time to the public. There are great improv shows all week.
HUGE Theater meets ADA standards, and we make accommodations as best we are able for all audience members. For questions and ticket information or if you need assistance, please call us at 612-412-4843 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Handicapped parking is available next to the theater, parallel to the building. The flexible seating allows for easy access to any seating area. The stage and box office are specially designed to allow for wheelchair and limited mobility access.


text: As reported on balidiscovery.com [ A Stalled Recovery], June 2006 arrivals to Bali have provided mixed signals regarding the resilience of Balis tourism recovery. Indications earlier in the year that business as measured in foreign arrivals - was staging a fast comeback following the October 1, 2005 Bali terrorist bombing, have been tempered by arrival reports for the second quarter of 2006 (April June) that show the Island's recovery has stalled and may even be backsliding.Shown on balidiscovery.com are three graphic representations tracking recovery patterns following the October 12, 2002 and October 1, 2005 terrorist attacks on Bali. Worth noting is that despite the backward slip in arrivals for June 2006, the recovery in arrivals following Balis most recent terror attack is taking place on a much higher plane than was the case following the 2002 attack. June foreign arrivals of 109,651 are 34.94% higher than the arrivals in June 2003 (81,256).A coming installment of Bali by the Numbers will compare arrivals to Bali over the first six months of 2006 from major markets.

Opposition leader Dr Keith Rowley today issued a statement on behalf of the Peoples National Movement, on the passing of former Prime Minister and President of Trinidad and Tobago Arthur NR Robinson. The following is his statement -
Our nation started its day with the sad news of the passing of one of our most distinguished citizens. Arthur Napoleon Raymond Robinson served us with distinction as Trinidad and Tobago's third Prime Minister and subsequently President.
Mr Robinson has left a legacy of leadership which has come to immortalise the words "Attack with full force". Even in the midst of what has become known as one of the darkest periods in our nation's history, he was resolute in his role as leader.
Mr Robinson's love for Trinidad and Tobago was aptly demonstrated through service to this twin island state and a special dedication to Tobago.On behalf of the People's National Movement, in which Mr Robinson served as Deputy Political Leader, I acknowledge his distinguished contribution to this country's development and join the rest of the nation in mourning his loss. The country has indeed lost one of its finest citizens and thus, we are poorer for it, but so much richer for having him as one of us.

Ambulance breaks down while carrying patient on life support
AN ambulance broke down on the M1 motorway as it was bringing a patient on life support to St James's Hospital in Dublin.
It is the second time this year that an ambulance has reported experiencing a loss of power while transferring a critically ill patient.
The paramedics with the patient, who is understood to have been sedated and ventilated – which means they were attached to a machine that controls breathing – became concerned when the vehicle "seemed to lose power", said a source in the National Ambulance Service (NAS).
The HSE confirmed the vehicle was just 10 minutes into its journey to Dublin last Saturday when "the crew reported to ambulance control that the vehicle lost power on the M1 motorway".
The ambulance left Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda at 4.38pm and at 4.48pm it had the problem.
It moved off the motorway at junction 7, just north of Balbriggan, and waited there for a replacement ambulance which "ambulance control immediately dispatched", according to the HSE.
The second ambulance arrived at 5.01pm and "the patient and medical staff" were transferred to it and it left eight minutes later.
This amounts to a total of 21 minutes before the transfer resumed in the second vehicle.
"The National Ambulance Service is not aware of any complaints about this incident from either hospital," the HSE added.
A spokeswoman said that as part of the NAS's fleet and equipment replacement programme, and in line with what is published in the National Service Plan, 35 new emergency ambulances have been purchased and will go into service this year.
Asked about the frequency of breakdowns she said it has a robust service and maintenance programme in place and they consider the safety of its patients, crew and the public at all times.
Servicing and maintenance is carried out on all its vehicles and equipment in line with the manufacturer's guidelines.
In March it was confirmed that a neonatal ambulance broke down on its way to collect a baby in Cork who needed to go to Our Lady's Hospital, Dublin.
The replacement ambulance also had problems and it was at least five and a half hours until the baby got to hospital.
A source in the ambulance service said the second vehicle "limped back to Dublin but they got the baby to the hospital".
Two weeks ago an ambulance went on fire on the M3 motorway in Co Meath as it brought a patient from Cavan General Hospital to Beaumont Hospital.
The independent technical examination of the ambulance which went on fire has been completed and the NAS is awaiting the expert report on it.
The service said "it would be inappropriate for NAS to comment further until this report has been received".

Enterprise architects! What if we told you that your job just got a whole lot easier?
Planning, starting and maintaining Enterprise Architecture is complex and time consuming. As an architect you are faced with many problems to solve and decisions to make. Now, what if there was a solution that could give your standards-driven project a kick-start and provide a structured way of maintaining your work? Luckily, there is.
BEASI is a software plugin for the cost-efficient modeling tool Sparx Enterprise Architect. Keep reading and discover how BEASI makes your job easier and your projects more profitable.
Working with international standards are paramount for profitable EA. BEASI adds the power of the Open Group standards TOGAF 9.1 and ArchiMate 3 to the modeling tool Sparx Enterprise Architect. With pre-configured integrations at your fingertips you'll save valuable time at the planning stage. Enjoy the productivity boost of a complete integration, ready to use.
How can we collaborate using the same material at the same time? This is one of the most common and significant questions for an Architect. With BEASI, a standardized structure and a central repository allow several change initiatives to happen simultaneously, while clarifying how projects affect one another.
One of the greater practical benefits of EA is that what is created can – and should – be reused. But how is reusage accomplished? How do organisations preserve their structural capital over time?
With BEASI reports and documents can easily be generated and shared. Clearly expressed models of objects and their relations makes it painless to share your work without misunderstandings. This enables reusage of all material, saving you time and money.
A standardized method enables everyone to work from the same page and the work to be integrated into one piece. BEASI adds the popular TOGAF 9.1 as a framework and method to Sparx EA.
TOGAF provides you with a clear and precise work process, ensuring that the right project is started. You'll minimize the risk that time and money are spent on the wrong things. With TOGAF's renowned ADM process you will develop architecture and make change projects more efficient. Above all, TOGAF provides you with a common vocabulary to smoothly work between different organisations and across geographical borders.
In order to describe architecture you need a standardized language, a so-called notation. With BEASI, you get access to ArchiMate as a notation in Sparx. ArchiMate is the most popular notation and will ensure that everything created in the architecture is easy to unite and to interpret.
For only $499 you can turn Sparx Enterprise Architect into a fully fledged EA-tool
BEASI contains pre-configured structures based on the TOGAF ADM model, using ArchiMate as modelling language. The plugin provides templates, examples and tools that simplify the development and maintenance of your Enterprise Architecture projects. This will provide a kick start in your EA work with quick solutions to the most common problems.
To an Architect who is serious about adhering to global EA standards, BEASI provides enormous value considering that similar solutions are priced at around $6,700!
A folder structure which highligts the most important steps and questions for each ADM phase complete with examples.
Every ArchiMate 3 viewpoint is defined with correct elements in the Sparx Toolbox.
Structure and support for gap analysis including support for automatic generation of gap views based on baseline and target.
Automatic consolidation of all gaps identified in Phases B to D including tool support for identification and multi-tier analysis of gap dependencies.
Tool support for grouping gaps into projects, deliverables and plateus.
Support for automatic generation of draft roadmap as represented by Architecture Definition Increments Table as well as templates for migration plans.
Support for generation of key TOGAF documents like the Architecture Definition Document.
BEASI provides a folder structure for an EA Repository in accordance with TOGAF complete with examples.
Great effort. This one plug-in looks like becoming the single most important enabler for people who wish to use Sparx EA to do Enterprise Architecture.

Face the facts, and be courageous.--Margaret
Warwick, New York (PRWEB) March 18, 2014
"The world has always been a dangerous place." Thus begins "Margaret and Emily"--Book Seven in the Margaret of Greenwich (R) Young Adult series by R. L. Rhyse and published by Wyston Books, Inc.. These novels narrate the lives of a poor teenager and her wealthy friends in the richest town in America.
In this thriller: As Margaret's Sweet Sixteen party approaches, she is devastated by what she suddenly learns: the dangerous secret surrounding her birth; that her sister, to earn money for college, is working for an escort service; and that her childhood friend has been raped by the son of their high school principal.
Meanwhile Erika, the only child of Greenwich's billionaire widower, becomes infatuated with the new but mysterious student, Malcolm; and Hillary will soon give birth to the world's most publicized baby.
But Margaret has allies too: Vladimir, a former general in Russia's Presidential Security Service, who considers her a daughter; wealthy, respectable Aunt Lena, whose stories educate Margaret about passion, and her origin; a disabled lawyer, Margaret's father, whose actions exemplify courage; and her boyfriend, Randy, who is the love of her life.
In "Margaret and Emily," Margaret's saga continues: "Erika is my best friend. She has had a painful life. Her mother and sister were raped and murdered. Once, when she was feeling really down, she asked what I would do if I met the monster who I had feared meeting. I didn't reply but I know the answer now.
"The world has always been a dangerous place. Ever since humans began roaming the earth, creatures have tried to devour them. The huge animals and snakes of our most vivid nightmares are sometimes practical. They help us by warning that danger approaches.
"The threat can be moments away: human hands maneuvering our doom, the opening of an unlatched bedroom window and soft patter of footsteps by a rapist who kills."
R. L. Rhyse, a former resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, is the author of the books in the Margaret of Greenwich® series. These include Margaret of Greenwich, Margaret and Erika, Margaret at War, Margaret in Tokyo, Margaret and Eve, and Margaret and Velda.

April, 2010 | New Jersey Medical Malpractice Blog Archive
Wal-mart Pharmacist May Be Liable for Punitive Damages, Court Rules
The United States District Court for the District of New Jersey has denied a request from Wal-mart pharmacist, and Wal-mart itself to dismiss a plaintiff's claim for punitive damages in a lawsuit filed by the plaintiff alleging that the pharmacist filled a prescription in error. In Horn v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 113867. Wal-mart's request for Partial Summary Judgment in their favor and against the plaintiff on the plaintiff's request for punitive damages was denied. In so doing, the Court acknowledged that punitive damages are available to plaintiffs when the defendant acts with a "wanton and willful disregard" for the rights of a plaintiff, that is, with a reckless indifference to the consequences of his actions.
Here, Mr. Horn went to Wal-mart to have a prescription for Coumadin, a blood-thinner, filled. However, the pharmacist attached a label to the bottle of medication which instructed the plaintiff to take the medication in a dosage three times greater than was prescribed, which he did – resulting in the patient suffering a stroke with permanent consequences.

The Last Musketeer
Fantagraphics, January 2008
Jason, writer/artist
48 pages
From a cover reminiscent of the playful pop-culture surrealism of Brandon Bird on down, this is the most straightforwardly funny Jason book since Meow, Baby!, and the most straightforwardly funny of his long-form narrative works this side of You Can't Get There from Here. It's still working the same territory of all Jason's comics–the absurd finality of death, the emotional ravages of time, the use of de rigeur genre tropes to suggest lives at the mercy of going-through-the-motions routine, loneliness loneliness loneliness–only this time the lonely protagonist isn't some sad sack but the zesty titular character, Athos of the Three Musketeers himself, inexplicably alive some 400 years after his heyday and defending France against Martian invasion. He's treated like the living embodiment of those thin slivers of joy and hope that gleam briefly before being stamped out by futility and despair in Jason's other books, here, finally, given a chance to come out on top. His id-like presence seems to spur some of Jason's funniest-ever gags in the surrounding characters, seemingly through osmosis: the emperor who simply can't bring himself to believe that his guard could possibly be happy with his job; the emperor's daughter who's never more than a second away from physically assaulting her milquetoast general boyfriend; the former royal's one-liner about the latter's presumed death–"Life is sad"–and its hilariously self-deprecating demolition of what is essentially Jason's entire philosophical project. Meanwhile the art edges into "Best Jason Ever" territory: A rocketship chase through the Martian wilderness evokes Winsor McKay, a swordfight practically rings with the clash of steel on steel between its still-life panels, and I could practically bathe in the book's blue-greens.
Ultimately the potential for a better, freer way of life represented by the Last Musketeer triumphs, at least for a while, and the lesson even appears to have been internalized by at least some of the other characters, perhaps even the larger world itself. Even so, Jason leaves us with a character who, like those in more standard works by this author, can only come to accept the possibility of a life worth living after being ground down by regret. But hey, it's better than nothing.

Action from the Liga MX Clausura quarterfinal, second match between Leon (left) and host Cruz Azul on May 3, 2014, in Mexico City. (Photo: Mexsport)
Eighth-seeded Leon stunned Cruz Azul to reach the Liga MX semifinals, while the Portland Timbers defeated D.C. United to pick-up their first win of the Major League Soccer season.
CONCACAF.com recaps the weekend's domestic action from North America's 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League qualifiers.
(2014-15 CCL qualifiers in BOLD)
Leon's title defense is still alive after tying host Cruz Azul, 2-2, on Saturday to capture their two-legged Clausura quarterfinal series on away goals after battling to a 3-3 aggregate stalemate.
After a 1-1 draw in the opening leg on Wednesday, the newly crowned CONCACAF Champions League champion went ahead at the Estadio Azul on Saturday thanks to goals by Mariano Pavone (11') and Mauro Formica (21'). Mauro Boselli pulled Leon within one five minutes before halftime and Luis Montes scored the clinching goal in the 58th minute.
Cruz Azul has not won a Mexican league title since the 1997 Invierno.
Raul Jimenez may have struck for three goals in a 5-3 win in the opener, but Santos eliminated Club America in the quarterfinals on away goals after the teams finished 6-6 on aggregate.
In the second leg, host Santos took a 3-0 lead before Rubens Sambueza struck in the 90th minute to give America some life.
An own-goal by Juan Carlos Valenzuela (27') put the Guerreros ahead in the first-half. Ribair Rodriguez (83') and Andres Renteria (87') followed late in the match to give Santos a three-goal edge until Sambueza made things interesting as time wound down.
- Enner Valencia struck for three goals as Pachuca defeated Pumas UNAM, 4-2, in the second leg of the quarterfinals, advancing to the semifinals 5-3 on aggregate.
- 2013/14 CONCACAF Champions League runner-up Toluca ousted Club Tijuana, 3-1 on aggregate, in the other quarterfinal series. After a scoreless draw in the opening leg, Miguel Ponce broke a 1-1 tie with a goal on the hour mark and Edgar Benitez (89') added an insurance tally.

Maximiliano Urruti's goal four minutes into second-half stoppage time lifted the Portland Timbers (8 points) to a dramatic 3-2 win over D.C. United (11 points), the team's first victory of the Major League Soccer season on Saturday at Providence Park.
Gaston Fernandez gave Portland the lead in the first minute, but United leveled on a Davy Arnaud goal in the 21st minute. Mamadou Danso (38') put the Timbers back in front, but the Gambian defender's own-goal tied the leveled the game at in the 78th minute. Urruti, though, knocked in a rebound of his own attempt to secure three points for the host.
Sporting Kansas City (14 points) moved into a three-way for first place in the Eastern Conference with a 2-0 win over 10-man Columbus Crew on Sunday at Sporting Park. Jacob Peterson (10') scored early and Claudio Bieler (90'+5) struck late for the host, while goalkeeper Eric Kronberg made four saves to earn the clean sheet.
Bradley Wright-Phillips tapped in a pass from Thierry Henry to lead the New York Red Bulls (14 points) to a 1-0 win over FC Dallas, the team's first road victory of the season.
Je-Vaughn Watson was sent off with a straight red card for a studs-up challenge against Tim Cahill and the home side was further frustrated when Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles saved a Blas Perez penalty kick just before the hour mark.
