A shrewd and coldhearted moneylender, Scrooge is the sole surviving member of the firm of Scrooge and Marley, following the deaths of his partners Jacob and Robert Marley. He browbeats his bookkeepers, especially his clerk Bob Cratchit, and is universally despised, even by his own nephew, Fred.
Following a ghostly visitation by the Marleys, and by the Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Scrooge revisits his past behavior and vows to make amends.

UFC's latest targets for sponsorship bans
By Zach Arnold | June 24, 2009
UFC is now reportedly asking for $100,000 rights fees just for a company to even be 'eligible' to sponsor fighters. A company generating strong PPV revenue is this hard up for cash? Hardly. This comes off, in my opinion, more like petty politics every day in terms of controlling what fighters can make with sponsorships and also going after anyone they don't have great relations with (think about past dealings with groups like American Kickboxing Academy) by going after their sponsors instead of going after the fighters directly.
One of the companies reportedly on the banned list is One More Round, which happens to the clothing company associated with Jacob "Stitch" Duran. Why is Dana White, Lorenzo Fertitta, and others going after a cut man?
I know and understand that sports leagues like MLB and the NFL have certain sponsorship deals with companies for uniforms and so forth. However, athletes in these sports are paid full time (seasonal), have benefits, insurance, etc. By going after so many sponsors in the manner that UFC is doing, this is pure divide-and-conquer politics at its worst in terms of being penny-wise and pound-foolish.
Josh Stein further elaborates:
It would be unfair to accuse the UFC of intentionally damaging our access to an improving quality of MMA, but it is not entirely unfair to assert that they are depriving fighters of their right to negotiate personal contracts with sponsoring companies. Whether the fighters choose to address this with open complaints, or whether it is simply fans discussing the issue, it is important to recognize that Zuffa LLC may be toeing the line, if they have not already stepped well over, with respect to their privledge as broadcasters.
The timing of this is interesting, given how much hype and media attention there will be for UFC 100. The company has a patch of red hot shows, from UFC 100 in LV to the Philadelphia event to the upcoming Portland event.

Assuming the 100K is a yearly fee to be allowed to advertise on fighter trunks:
1) UFC must be distributing sponsorships themselves for this to work. And I can see that being a headache when a prelim fighter and a main card fighter are both wearing the same shorts with the same logo but the prelim fighter is making half or less of what the main card fighter is even if his prelim fight gets aired too. But I'm sure Dana will handle that with his usual "Fuck you, too bad."
2)45 keeps bringing up Harley and Bud as proof this is going to work, but why would they pay an additional 100K to sponsor fighters when they're already being advertised? That makes zero sense. We see your logo on the mat, seeing it on some guy's t-shirt and hat after the fight is overkill. People are acting like the right to pay 100K is going to be what brings more big companies in. Why aren't they there now for free? And why would you take the risk of your sponsored fighter getting KOed in seconds to rip off your exposure when it could be on the mat the whole show?
3) Remember, the last time UFC brokered sponsorship deals for fighters was…..Xyience. Are they going to shoulder the cost if a company doesn't make good on what they promised a fighter? They didn't when Xyience went deadbeat. But let's say if a company goes bankrupt mid-deal or decides they aren't getting enough bang for their buck and want to terminate the contract, UFC with their finger in the pie is now involved. If Xyience is any indication they're just going to tell them to take it to court. Rip off.
If you charge something for it, it automatically has a higher perceived value. If you charge a higher price for something, it will typically have a higher perceived value then even a similar product with a lesser price tag.
Didn't any of you ever go to college?
Well, couldn't it possibly be that this is just a one off-deal? Even Caplan himself writes that One More Round etc are not eligible for sponsorship AT UFC 100. It's going to be their biggest show ever, so it'd be no wonder for them to try and get sponsors for that show, that are more high profile than the usual ones.
What will happen to the venerable Condom Depot?
Think of the Condom Depots!
@45 In this economy companies want to cut corners any way they can. You mentioned NASCAR drivers losing sponsors due to a bad economy, what makes the UFC any different? Actually, it makes it worse because UFC has the still controversial tag of violent combat that tons of big money corporations might not be comfortable with. And yes, I went to college. But I don't troll message boards pretending to agree with everything the UFC does to get a rise out of people. That's where we differ.
@Preach: Unless it's just really bad reporting, why didn't they specify "one time only" in all of this? You could be right, but since this has obviously stirred up some issues I would hope UFC would clarify if it was just once.
Gotta love Dana putting himself on the cover of the new UFC 100 magazine.
Gray Maynard vs. Roger Huerta at UFC Fight Night 19.
The UFC is probably looking for the same result as Machida/Tito. They likely will get it. And if Maynard loses, he doesn't have the fans like Sanchez, so no harm done.
Anyone read post 47-49?
Where is this information coming from? The link posted was to an old Fight Opinion link. Nowhere do I see it linked to something this MMA Logic guy said.
The idea of adding weight classes is a horrible idea. It would turn it into boxing. And it would seriously make me reconsider being a fan of the sport. I have no problem with a weight class being added if it makes sense. This is why I hate the idea:
1. It is very boxing-esque.
2. One of the great things about MMA is that a more devoted fan can follow each weight class rather easily.
3. It allows fighters to avoid competition or stay champions.
4. Right now, the majority of the guys in each top ten can't beat the guys in the higher weight class. When you add more classes, it means that won't be the case anymore.
It is a short cited view of handling the sport. In the long run, it will get out of control and ruin things. Like the poster said above, it will lead to a few great years, but not for the long term.
Lastly, if they do as a Cruiserweight Division, then there will literally be no challengers for the belts. Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight aren't exactly stacked. Adding another belt would weaken the pool even more. And never throughout the sports history have 230 lb fighters not gotten the best out of 265 lb fighters over long haul.
As for the 5 round main events. I don't mind it, as long as it is a high level fight. I just don't want to see an entire card of 5 round fights. it would make things boring.
One last point…. Building a sport around the "Personalities" and not the "sport" is what Japan did. And it created a horrible foundation that is going to crumble. The UFC already walks a fine line with that. Adding new weight classes will just make things crumble in the long run.
I responded to those 3 posts, but it got flagged for a moderator.
In short, it is a horrible idea to add weight classes. Okay to add 5 round fights to A MINIMUM of high level fights. And the UFC will suffer in the long run if they add the weight classes.
Also, where is the information coming from? There is no link to where it is coming from.
Thinking about it some more, I would be okay if they added one more weight class and did the following:
1. Heavyweight – 265 lbs
2. Cruiserweight – 210 lbs
3. Light Heavyweight – 190 lbs
4. Middleweight – 175 lbs
5. Welterweight – 165 lbs
6. Lightweight – 155 lbs
7. Featherweight – 145 lbs
8. Bantamweight – 135 lbs
9. Flyweight – 125 lbs
With that said, I do not want to see a weight class between 265 and 205…. It would be a horrible idea. By increasing 205 to 210, it means anybody who is 235 and under should be making the cut, and really making the Heavyweight division from 265 to 240…. Not so bad.
And if nothing was changed, it would be much better. But to rationalize new weight classes because one or two fighters are between weight classes and because they wan to put a title elt on them is the worst idea, and would definitly lose me as a fan of the sport.
10 years from now, few good things can come from many added weight classes. Many bad things can. When guys can easily shed ten pounds to make the next weight class, it means the right number is there. And perhaps a tiny tweekto the current system at the most. Anything else is Zuffa greed and the long term death of the sport.
"If you charge something for it, it automatically has a higher perceived value. If you charge a higher price for something, it will typically have a higher perceived value then even a similar product with a lesser price tag.
Didn't any of you ever go to college?"
This type of thinking works with consumer goods because people buying them, and generally the consuming public, know of their high(er) price tag and thus they become a coveted and status item.
How you extrapolate that to work in the context of advertising, I don't know. The economy sucks and people/companies are looking to cut costs and be frugal – I don't think making them pay $100k makes any company think "Oh! We're like the 'Rolex' of advertisement!"
So obviously you didn't go to college or you did a really shitty job of learning the concepts they teach there.
45 Huddle:
The information is real, although I provided no link. He posted it on BE, under the Affliction post.
The same principles apply. Obviously advertising dollars are down, but there is still advertising money out there. And $100,000 for a big company looking to sponsor somebody is really nothing, whether it's a good economy or bad. And by putting that higher price tag
The internet is going through this exact problem right now. They have given away ad space for basically nothing for a few years, and they are finding it very hard to charge a higher price now.
The problem with websites is that they waited for it to get popular until they attempted to change their strategy.
The UFC, at least in the minds of Zuffa, hasn't hit a peak yet. Therefore, it is beneficial to raise the bar now, whether it be for themselves of for the fighters, in order to increase the type of people advertising on their broadcasts.
And yes, by actually putting an initial price tag on these items, it will make advertisers believe they are getting more. Doesn't mean it's true, but that's what happens. Do some learning beyond the Marketing 101 Classes at Junior College. There is deception in advertising. And there is deception in getting those advertising dollars. It's a two way street.
UFC 103 vs. Mayweather/Marquez…. Both scheduled for September 13th.
I just got done reading MMA Logic. WOW!! The warchest he is talking about obviously is tons of cash.
He did say Affliction didn't even break 100,000 buys.
I get the feeling from what he said that the UFC and Strikeforce are on friendlier terms then anybody really thinks. That Strikeforce knows their role and are there to take up the Showtime deal and it helps the UFC. Not to mention that if Strikeforce messes with the UFC, the UFC will just go after their talent and crush them.
I assume the new weight classes will be:
265, 220, 205, 195, 185, 175, 165…. And then the WEC will have 155, 145, 135, & 125.
If this does happen, I likely won't be on these message boards anymore. MMA will officially be like boxing. Not good.
I also get the sense that they are preparing for a war with Goldenboy. And they are prepared to up the stars salaries in order to do so. Not to mention just look to crush them.
Hahaha. It's clear the troll doesn't even pretend to believe in what he's saying this time. Better luck next time.
You can't compare the entire internet to buying space on a t-shirt for some guy to wear for 3 minutes total in front of 600,000 viewers.
But at least we've been upgraded to Junior College status. Hopefully a small state college will be next.
The concept is the same. It's about how you position yourself from the start and the value you put along with your product.
No, they are two different concepts.
When you talk about the internet advertising previously being cheap, you are referring to the days where people would put "This Space For Rent" areas on their website for cheap. The increased costs are due to a completely different system where Google or AdBrite and the like take higher fees but distribute ads to millions and millions of sites in their ad bars. Not only are you getting increased exposure, but they use keyword filters to make sure your ad is placed on a site discussing the same field you're trying to advertise about.
With UFC on the other hand, you're getting the same exposure those fighters gave you when you only paid them directly….except it's going to cost you $100,000 in a shakedown to Zuffa, so, according to you it will "feel more important."No larger audience to expose to, no increased visability like zooming in on the logos. Just "we think we'd both feel more important if you paid us too."
And Monte Cox, who is in the loop of MMA news unlike we spectators, made a claim that it will be 100K per event. Maybe he's full of shit, but with the UFC power trip there's a reason why nobody but certain gimmick posters are playing it down and why it sounds completely believable.
While I always loathe when people do this – I'm just a little sick of you making flawed and incorrect arguments and then insulting those who are smart enough to know you are full it by attacking their "juco education" – and I'm sure there are even more educated people than I. But my "juco 101 education" consists of graduating in the top of my class from a top Canadian university with a pre-med degree, graduating in the top 5% of my class from the best law school in Canada and then getting accepted to do an MBA at Harvard and Columbia. So I'll make sure to let all my alma matters to know what a shitty "juco education" they've provided me when I could have gotten a marketing education from a guy on the interwebz.
While I do roam these message boards as a fan of the sport and looking for casual, mindless conversations on mma – I really don't appreciate faux intellect snobs who try to ignorantly thumb their noses at people when they don't have a clue.
And yet you are now the very thing you loath. Obviously somebody with a high enough education level could understand that and avoid it. You could not.
A look at what rate Spike sells their TV ads for Fight Nights would settle the debate.
I'd be shocked if Spike sells ads for that much higher than they sold ads for Monday Night Raw a few years ago. They've still got the stigma of having a bunch of broke, blue collar fans like pro wrestling does. UFC and WWE basically have the same kind of advertisers, just with the UFC having liquor ads that the WWE couldn't get due to the large amount of children watching. But junk food, pre-paid cell phones, shitty movies, video games, all the same low-caliber advertisers.
It's always interesting to see that USA Network sells the same space Raw occupies for double or triple when Tennis and the Dog Show preempt it. And Raw gets triple the ratings they would. But the viewership is seen in a higher class. It's not totally true, but Fortune 500 companies view the UFC audience as low-class.
The nuthuggers will debate values and rates to justify this move but bottom line is when a company makes millions and pays main event guys like Jardine 14,000$, those dinky little sponsors are the only source of steady income they have to you know…eat, live, train. This is another move that fits in with the Fitch saga, Couture one and so many more.
I do wonder what its gonna take for some politician to get interested in seeing why the Ali Act doesnt cover MMA.
The act restricts the types of contract that a boxer may be required to sign and having the wording changed on the Ali Act to cover all combat sports instead of just one should be relatively easy.
A union is a an idea that wont work but using some existing mechanisms in an existing law to limit the conditions that can be imposed on fighters seems more likely.
PS: I know of the Ali Act but not much substance so if someone has info, Id be very interested as to how it could relate to MMA.
I have written a number of articles on the Ali Act, and you can see them here:

Russian airlines take another stab at low-cost services, but legal hurdles remain
The first few attempts to begin low-cost air service in Russia failed. Two local start-ups, Sky Express and Avianova, ceased operations in 2011. But now the country's largest airliners are giving it another try.
Major carriers here are introducing low-cost service plans, each one unique. All are likely to incite price wars between the first- and second-tier airlines. And some of the conditions that have made low-cost air travel difficult to establish persist because the government has yet to alter some of the regulations that have stifled airlines from offering typical LCC features. So whatever the airlines plan for now will be an adaptation of the universal model; the real breakthrough is likely only possible when more liberalization of the air transport market is achieved.
Transaero, the country's second-largest airline by passengers carried, launched its form of low-cost service from Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport on Jan. 14. The airline added a new discount class to its traditional classes of service that is available on a number of domestic routes and to European, Middle Eastern and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) destinations. It will use only Boeing 737 Classics and Tupolev Tu-214 narrowbodies for the discount-class flights.
The airline will continue to serve the same destinations with full-service operations from its other Moscow base, Vnukovo International Airport. The first day of its discount-class service, Transaero flew nearly 5,000 passengers to various CIS cities, achieving a close-to-100% seat-load factor.
Russian Federal Aviation Rules do not allow the airline to apply many of the restrictions that would be typical for low-cost service in other parts of the world. Transaero's discount fare includes free drinks and snack food, and even full meals, depending on the length of the flight. Passengers are allowed 10 kg (22 lb.) of luggage before fees are incurred. Some variants of the discount-class tariff even allow passenger to take business-class seats and check in 20 kg of luggage—the same weight that is accorded to the airline's regular economy-class customers. In addition, discount-fare tickets are refundable.
Russia's largest carrier, Aeroflot, complained about these fee constraints when it set up its low-cost subsidiary, Dobrolet, in October 2013. "Low-cost carriers will not take off in Russia if we do not harmonize our legislation with the global standards [including] non-refundable tickets, [and fees for] onboard meals, luggage and foreign pilots," CEO Vitaly Saveliev said at the time. He expressed his hope that the government will legislate more LCC-friendly rules by year-end, but no proposed amendments have been adopted so far.
Nevertheless, last December Dobrolet applied for an air operator's certificate with the Federal Air Transport Agency. The process usually takes two months. Aeroflot has not yet designated a major airport for its LCC. Dobrolet will initially limit its services to the European part of Russia, although foreign destinations are reportedly included in the 2016 timetable. The start-up intends to offer up to 40% lower fares compared with legacy carriers.
According to initial plans, the new carrier was expected to start operations in spring 2014. In the first year, Dobrolet's fleet will include eight new Boeing 737-800 narrowbodies in all-economy-class configuration. The fleet will later grow by eight aircraft per year. Aeroflot plans to invest $100 million in its new subsidiary during the first two years.
UTair, the third-largest carrier, also launched low-fare flights, but focused on improving the efficiency of operations to break even. Last December, the airline announced a special low fare for flights from Moscow Vnukovo to Chelyabinsk Airport. In January, it added flights from Vnukovo to Omsk. The restrictions are again atypical for LCCs; the fares are sometimes approximately 30% lower than those of competing airlines and must be booked online, but they are only available until three days prior to a flight. Fares include all onboard features expected for legacy air service, including connections in Vnukovo, but not hot meals. UTair reports that the first flights were almost 100% full.
A UTair official tells Aviation Week that the revised fares became possible after the airline started to receive its new Airbus A321s in a 220-seat all-economy-class configuration. The airline operates four of the type and expects to receive the other 16 aircraft through 2016. These aircraft have replaced 140-seat Boeing 737-500s on the low-fare routes. The higher passenger capacity of A321, its better fuel efficiency and lower unit costs allow the airline to offer lower ticket prices, the official says.
A similar plan will be extended across the entire narrowbody fleet, says the airline spokesman. UTair has ordered 40 Boeing 737NG in a single-class configuration and expects to receive the first six Sukhoi Superjet 100s this year. The Superjets will be fitted for all-economy-class, seating 103 passengers. The existing narrowbody fleet will be gradually reconfigured to single-class status during regular maintenance work.
UTair carried 9.6 million passengers in 2013, up by 12% from the previous year. Transaero increased the number of passengers carried by 21%, to 12.5 million. Aeroflot has not published its full-year results yet, but in the first 11 months of 2013 the airline carried 19.3 million people, an increase of 18.5% compared with 2012. In JanuaryNovember, the three airlines had a combined 49% market share (counting only Russian airlines).

That is the question living on Zelcova Drive in Eminence. With our neighboring subdivision, Arbor View, we have a lot of children who play in this area. Not only do we have children playing but we also have dozens of people who walk the bike trail and this road daily. The speed limit on this road is 15 mph. So why, on an every day basis, do we have dozens of cars speeding well over the speed limit? Do the newly installed stop signs boarding the bike trail and Arbor View help? No, they don't. Everyday I witness several cars blowing the stop signs totally.

It was a great news to hear that Chief Justice of Pakistan has summoned his own son and Malik Riaz in Supreme Court regarding the report of financial impropriety. Government , Malik Riaz Hussain (Real Estate Mafia lord who runs his business with the help of Army and Government) and other corrupts were trying to corner Supreme Court using this issue. Recently Shaheen Sehbai , a respectable name in the media of Pakistan, uncovered the story in an online interview.
It was a good move by CJP Iftikhkar Muhammad Chaudhary to counter this government conspiracy against the judiciary. Government is trying its best to give a bad name to SC especially after the decision on NRO case. They wanted to repeat what Musharraf did in 2007 but this time justice loving people and honest people in media are ready to deal with the situation.
We are with you Mr. Chaudhary as long as you are giving decisions based on the principles of justice and rule of law. We know army, government and their corrupt allies in feudal and corporatist class are trying to undermine the judiciary but we will do whatever we can to support good actions of Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Chief Justice summons his son on reports of financial impropriety
Source : http://tribune.com.pk/story/389460/chief-justice-summons-his-son-on-reports-of-financial-impropriety/
ISLAMABAD: Taking note of reports of financial impropriety circulating on various social media platforms and media channels, Chief Justice of Pakistan Mohammed Iftikhar Chaudhry sent notices to Dr Arsalan Iftikhar and Malik Riaz, Express News reported early Wednesday morning.
Malik Riaz Hussain is the chief of Bahria Town. Dr Arsalan Iftikhar is the Chief Justice's son.
A notice has also been sent to the Attorney General of Pakistan
The case is due to be heard on Wednesday June 6, 2012 (today) by a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry himself.
The Chief Justice had taken a suo motu notice of the reports circulating and has summoned the two men allegedly involved in the matter.
Express News correspondent Faisal Shakeel reported that according to sources, the reports on which the suo motu was taken suggest that Dr Iftikhar had taken between Rs300-400 million from Malik Riaz. Shakeel said that the impression given by some of these reports was that the sum was being exchanged on behalf of the Chief Justice for disposing off cases pending before the Supreme Court.
Shakeel clarified that the case at this point in time is not against any one and once hearings start on Wednesday, would seek to establish the authenticity of the reports.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The Birmingham-Southern softball team dropped both games of its first home stand of the season this afternoon at BSC Softball Park to Faulkner University. With the 8-1 and 7-1 losses, the Panthers fall to 1-5 on the young season. Faulkner improved to 4-2.
Faulkner opened the first game with a single run in each of the first two innings to take an early 2-0 lead after two innings. Faulkner tacked on four more runs in the top of the fifth on the strength of two doubles, a single, and a BSC error.
The Panthers would respond in the bottom of the fifth with their lone run of the game after being held hitless since junior Alyssa Statham's single in the first. BSC opened the frame with a single from junior Hannah Harris. Four batters later, a Faulkner error allowed junior Bethany Fronk to come home.
Faulkner hurlers Mattie Dotson and Natalie Walker combined for the five-hit shutout. Fronk struck out six in her time in the circle and dropped to 1-4 on the season.
Friday's nightcap saw the Panthers take the first lead of the game after Fronk doubled and junior Taylor Bassett singled with one out in the home half of the second. Two batters later, a wild pitch from Faulkner scored Fronk from first.
The lead held for the Panthers until the fourth when Faulkner mounted a high-scoring, two-out rally. A free pass issued by BSC starter freshman Taylor Harkins, with the bases loaded, tied the game at one run apiece. A Panther throwing error on the next play brought home two more Eagles. A single down the left field line by Amanda Seales put two more runs on the board for Faulkner. Faulkner capitalized off a hit batter and another two-RBI single to pick up the final of the eight runs scored in the inning.
Birmingham-Southern returns to action Tuesday, March 4, traveling to Lookout Mountain, Tenn., to face Covenant College for a midweek doubleheader. First pitch is at 1 p.m. ET. The Panthers return home next Friday, March 7, hosting Washington (Mo.) in a 1 p.m. doubleheader.

Question about Navigation
Question about Navigation
In a word, No...And it's one of the few quirks of the car that is just ridiculous that there isn't an option for it. However, it's such an easy fix that I'm sure it will be part of a upcoming software update. In the meantime, if you're using the navigation, you can get a forward-facing turn-by-turn overview up on the dash.
As far as I know there is not a way to set it to point he direction you are moving. I think most people are hoping this comes soon as a software update. I don't have my car yet but I asked this question on my test drive a couple weeks ago.
I do have another question about the nav. Is it possible to enter a destination for turn by turn without 3G coverage. I know that the turn by turn is run by navigon and uses data on the car's hard drive along with GPS info. That being said I have only seen the ability to enter a destination using the touch screen which is google maps and it requires a 3G connection to work. Does any current owner know if it is indeed possible to enter a destination without 3G coverage?
Isn't it possible to have the left hand display in the cluster do this when Navigation is active? where the map orients to your point of view thereon? Or it that feature only on those cars equipped with the Tech Package?
@Superliner - yes to both questions.
@mlaiken - Yes, the Navigon works without 3G. The question will be whether you get location info to make it useful without 3G. I had a problem where the 3G service stopped working and the car always thought it was at the location where it last had a 3G signal (home). So while I could enter a destination and Navigon would route with the map showing up on the left display, it started from home no matter where I was and didn't progress. It's probable that my issue was not entirely comparable to just being outside the wireless service area and that GPS location (and navigation) would still work just fine.
You know, I was thinking when I first used the nav, "how do I know which way is north and what direction I'm travelling." My current car has a compass, why doesn't this car have a compass. then I realized that it had something better than a compass. It had a directional map. Now I really like that feature.
I like how the guage-area map rotates with the cars direction and the large main map is always oriented north.
I honestly find it strange that so many people want the rotating map. I thought most people would find it easier to understand their bearings if the map does not rotate.
Anyways, maybe I'm just used to understanding a space and my movement in it by using overhead maps from playing so many video games.
I'm not a fan of GPS that stays fixed north. Something in my brain just doesn't jive with "OK so I'm going 'down' so this right-looking turn is actually a left'. I'm planning on connecting the car to my 4G hotspot (iPhone or iPad depending on what's with me) so the data speeds aren't an issue. I'm guessing we won't get LTE built-in until a while down the road, if ever, because of the cost. Can't complain about free, right?
Good thing Tesla's NAV doesn't stay fixed north. You can rotate to any direction you like.
Depends on your brain which you prefer.
Actually, if you press the orientation icon on the top centre.
First press centres you on the map, next press alternates between North Up and Direction of Travel Up.
I just got my car so, I've always had it. I believe it was added within the last year.

Memorial Gardens
Note that Memorial Gardens explains what the second half of Downtown Emporia requires Booker to do in order to enter what's essentially the final act of the game, Comstock House.
Before heading for the cemetery, make sure Booker has full health, salts, and ammo, as there is a tough battle ahead with the creature called the "Siren". The Repeater, Carbine, or Sniper Rifle are good weapons to use on the creature (from a distance), but keep the reliable Shotgun handy (and full) for closer encounters.
Find Lady Comstock's resting place in Memorial Garden and Elizabeth will tear the lock open. Shoot down the Siren as it revives enemies (you can use their regenerating Machine Guns for re-supply, if you are desperate). Note that regardless of who you target, the Siren will keep reviving enemies as part of its attack pattern.
Easy. Hide in the alcove with the medkits and use the large coffin for cover.
Very easy. A good tactic to use is to get rid of her support first then attack her. To do this you must use the Shock Jockey or Devils Kiss vigors as any enemy killed while under the effect of one of them will disintegrate upon death and cannot be resurrected. Use of the storm hat is highly recommended as you can easily chain the effect through a group using very few salts. After you have cleared all her support away the fight becomes very easy on any difficulty level. This tactic can be repeated in the following fights.
If you don't want to confront her minions you can take cover where you find the shotgun. Eventually the siren will come to you: then use Return to Sender and shoot her with double damage or critical damage increasing gear equipped and you'll be fine.
If you are still having trouble, place several Devils Kiss traps where the Siren will appear before you start the fight. If done correctly the siren will set them off once the fight starts. You can also use Undertow to knock off the ledge all of the guys that spawn during the fight; doing this will stop the siren from reviving them.
Once you've taken down the Siren you can leave the cemetery. Lutece instructs you to follow the phantom trail to the three tears (which results in two more fights with the Siren).
1999 mode - The Devils Kiss/Shock Jockey method described above should work fine and with skill you should be able to complete this section without dying at all. If you want to try a different tactic though, have your Charge vigor and one powerful gun fully upgraded. Wearing melee-based gear such as Brittle Skin also helps a ton. Charge the Siren and begin unloading with a powerful weapon. Rinse and repeat. This was the hardest Siren battle so be prepared to die a few times.
BURNING DOWN THE CRYPTS[edit]
The smaller crypt next to Lady Comstock (to Booker's right if you are looking at Comstock's crypt) looks locked, but isn't. Ignite the two torches at its entrance with Devil's Kiss and you can claim an extra piece of Gear. It can be a bit tricky to get the torches to ignite, since the fireballs like to bounce off before exploding, but with a few tries you should get it. This section is an homage to a similar puzzle in the original Bioshock.
THE FIRST TEAR[edit]
Following Lutece's instructions, Booker will follow the phantom trail to the Lutece's own labs. Take out the enemies in front of it and enter it. There are no enemies in the lab (unless they followed you in), so take the time to explore the place for voxophones and infusions.
INFUSION 022[edit]
Inside the Lutece Lab, second floor bedroom. With its characteristic flicker, the vial is hard to miss.
VOXOPHONE 063: Child of Science[edit]
In the Lutece Lab, the first dimensional tear after it vanishes.
VOXOPHONE 064: On the Entropy of Genes[edit]
In the Lutece Lab, lower floor workshop by the blackboard.
VOXOPHONE 065: A Theory On Our "Death"[edit]
In the Lutece Lab, bedroom, between a bed and a nightstand.
THE SECOND TEAR[edit]
Following the phantom steps leads to the entrance of the Bank of the Prophet (which has duplicate kinetoscopes from earlier). Fight a Crow, a Fireman, and their underlings to enter without trouble. The Bank of the Prophet has some more enemies. Kill 'em all and head towards the vaults. Note that you should be aware you will fight the Siren after you activate the second Tear, so be prepared.
CODE BOOK PUZZLE[edit]
The Code Book you found in Downtown Emporia will come into play near the bank vault. After battling through the main room of the bank, the footsteps lead to the right. Don't go that way. Instead, head left where you'll find the room that corresponds to the code book after going down a hallway. There's a room with bloody graffiti of "HOARDER" before you encounter the snipers in the bank vaults. Take the code book there. Facing the room with "HOARDER" on the wall, there is another room on the right. Up against a wall is a corpse with a piece of Gear next to it. Might as well pick that up, too.
INFUSION 023[edit]
Requires the Code Book (Downtown Emporia) from Hudson's in Downtown Emporia. In the vault, there is bloody graffitti of "HOARDER". Use the code book to open the secret room for a vial.
VOXOPHONE 066: The Imagination of God[edit]
Requires the Code Book (Downtown Emporia) from Hudson's in Downtown Emporia. In the vault, there is bloody graffitti of "HOARDER". Use the code book to open the secret room for the voxophone.
In the vault area, there is a dead guy in a strawhat near a large family mural of Comstock, Lady Comstock, and their child. Check the area next to the corpse for a piece of Gear. Kill snipers in the safety deposit box / vault area and keep in mind to keep full ammo again (preferably long range with the Carbine or Sniper Rifle) since you fight the Siren (and its undead minions) again.
VOXOPHONE 067: No Longer[edit]
In deposit room (to the left of where dimensional tear appears), behind a small safe on floor.
Before dropping down into the vault proper, look for a money cart next to a dead cashier in the corner of the safety deposit box area (past the snipers); the piece of Gear is in the cart.
Kill the Crow guarding the second rift. Booker won't have much time to rest, because the Siren will attack as soon as you step back outside the vault (into the bank's main room).
VOXOPHONE 068: A Broken Circle
In the Bank of the Prophet, the second dimensional tear after it vanishes. The recorder will be on the statue's base, near Booker's eye level.
Fight the Siren, drive it away on your way back out of the Bank of the Prophet. If you're having some trouble, remember there's a vending machine in the corner next to the elevator where you can stock up on health, salts, and ammo even during mid-fight.
Head for the final tear in the photography store in Harmony Lane.
VOXOPHONE 069: The Customer is Late
The photography store has the third dimensional tear. Rectify it and take the recorder that appears on the table.
Take inventory of Booker's ammunition, Salts, Vigors, and weapons; if you're low, there are vending machines to your right as you exit Harmony Lane, which remember, you can access mid-fight. There is a sniper rifle at the Comstock Gate (chiefly for killing the Siren), and a few other tears (a next-to-useless Mosquito and some health kits). The enemies will be using Machine Guns, but upping the damage on the Sniper Rifle should deliver an adequate damage rating if you connect all 24 shots to the Siren's head.
The battle will start automatically (locking Booker into the area) when you approach Comstock Gate. This is why there are two ways around the area (so you can avoid entering Comstock Gate at all if you are not ready).
Fight the Siren for a final time and kill her ass before you run out of money. Her underlings can be Bronco'ed if they are getting in your way. After this battle, you go into the Comstock House.
1999 mode - Having the sniper rifle fully-upgraded and the 5x damage for headshots gear is recommended. You can take cover in the area with the vending machines and pop out with shots. Remember that if you kill her minions while they are under the effect of Devils Kiss or Shock Jockey, their bodies will disintegrate preventing her from reviving them again. Summon the mosquito to draw fire away from you, and with some well-placed headshots, she will fall quickly.

Norway has been hit with the first wave of diplomatic backlash after awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to jailed Chinese pro-democracy activist Liu Xiaobo.
China called off two high-level meetings in Beijing with Norway's fisheries minister this week. In addition, cancellations have been pouring in for four other scheduled Sino-Norwegian meetings.
But the award could actually provide a bigger backlash for China at home because it has generated a "game-changing" dynamic for reform, according to Sharon Hom, executive director for Human Rights in China, an international nongovernmental organization based in Hong Kong and New York.
Why China sees Norway as responsible for Nobel
China is upset that the Norwegian Nobel Committee gave the award to Mr. Liu, who was sentenced in December 2009 to 11 years in prison for "inciting subversion of state power." He was a leading author behind Charter 08, a political manifesto that calls for increased rule of law, greater respect for human rights, and an end to one-party rule in China.
"The Norwegian Nobel Committee, by giving the Peace Prize to a convicted person in China, shows no respect for the judicial system of China," Chinese foreign ministry spokesma Ma Zhaoxu said this week, warning of damaged China-Norway relations.
IN PICTURES: Liu Xiaobo: Nobel Peace Prize recipient
Norway has tried to ease the situation by highlighting that the Norwegian Nobel Committee is independent of the Norwegian government. "We cannot [accept] that an independent committee's decision shall lead to bilateral relations between Norway and China being affected," Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said in a meeting today with China's ambassador.
But despite Norway's effort to make such distinctions, China has retaliated with a string of rebuffs.
"It really reflects the Chinese government's own sense that authorities should be able to tell anybody, including independent bodies, what to do," Ms. Hom told The Christian Science Monitor.
A delegation from China's high court, scheduled to meet its Norwegian counterpart this week, canceled because of "other urgent obligations" and a Chinese military delegation called off its meeting in Oslo with Norway's justice ministry at the last minute, according to Ragnhild Imerslund, assistant director general of Norway's foreign ministry.
In addition, many participants from a group representing Chinese researchers, experts, and journalists slated to study the Norwegian welfare state model have canceled next week's visit to Oslo. An Asian study tour by 17 Norwegian state secretaries for next week has been postponed because key meetings in Beijing were also canceled.
Chinese elders call for political reform
The prize has posed a dilemma for the Chinese government. It has generated a throng of support from countries calling for Liu's release, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and most recently a polite suggestion from Japan's prime minister that Liu's release would be "desirable."
The prize has also encouraged voices – even within the Communist Party of China – to appeal for political reform. Earlier this week, an open letter from Chinese Communist Party elders, including a former secretary to Mao Zedong, called for the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to end restrictions on expression in China.
The letter urged the Communist Party to abolish censorship and realize citizens' right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The petition was started Oct. 1 – one week before the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded – with just 23 signatures. Since then it has expanded to nearly 500 signatures.
And on Thursday, more than 100 Chinese activists released a separate open letter asking that Liu be released from prison. Norway's foreign minister has also called for Liu's release and for his wife's house arrest to be lifted.
"The Nobel Peace Prize has generated a game-changing process," says Hom. "There are voices within the party who are now going public. It is a quite interesting moment when the Norwegian government recognizes this type of reaction, that it actually reflects a political sense of vulnerability of the leadership."
Nobel has caused diplomatic tensions before
Norway's diplomatic relations have suffered before over the Nobel Peace Prize, notably with the 1989 award to the Dalai Lama. Primary concern for the moment is over the possible effect on Norway's economic relations with its most important trading partner in Asia.
Norway and China are tentatively scheduled to hold the next round of bilateral trade talks in mid-December, shortly after the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo on Dec. 10.
Some predict that negotiations may be postponed, but not altogether derailed. China has expressed its dissatisfaction before with other, even larger trading nations – such as Germany for receiving the Dalai Lama in 2007 – but still come back to the trading table.
"It is not a simple causal relationship," says Hom. "China will do what is in its best strategic interests."

Does anyone know of a list of LaTeX fonts that can be considered as already available on typical platforms? My interpretation of "typical platform" now means Windows XP, Vista, 7, whatever the current crop of Mac OSes are and, possibly not very likely, Ubuntu.
I know there are other platforms (I've had quite a few Linux distributions around the house), but in my case the above matches the platforms readers of my non-math LaTeX documents would have.
Of course, I am aware of the Font Catalogue, but my question is looking for the "safe subset" which I could use without my readers having problems and needing to install fonts. To be precise, I'm producing PDFs. Ignoring Ubuntu, it's quite possible that most readers will also have MS Office installed (which comes with a number of fonts) but I cannot guarantee it, so to play it safe, I cannot fully rely on it.
I did google for this, but couldn't find such a list, perhaps others know more.
Thanks in advance.

It does not encompass all uses of mathematical analysis in computing, but it is principally applied to those concerned with the formal specification of discrete systems.
formal specification
See formal methods.
A philosophy or practice that focuses on the manipulation of surface representations or symbols with a disregard for the underlying semantics and meaning. This may be as a strong philosophical stance or it may be because it is believed that, in a certain situation and for a particular end, the symbols capture faithfully the underlying meaning.

Floodplains in the field
This resource received a gold-star rating from a Panel Peer Review
These materials were reviewed using face-to-face NSF-style review panel of geoscience and geoscience education experts to review groups of resources addressing a single theme. Panelists wrote reviews that addressed the criteria:
- scientific accuracy and currency
- usability and
- pedagogical effectiveness
- Accept
- Accept with minor revisions
- Accept with major revisions, or
- Reject.
Following the panel meetings, the conveners wrote summaries of the panel discussion for each resource; these were transmitted to the creator, along with anonymous versions of the reviews. Relatively few resources were accepted as is. In most cases, the majority of the resources were either designated as 1) Reject or 2) Accept with major revisions. Resources were most often rejected for their lack of completeness to be used in a classroom or they contained scientific inaccuracies.
This activity was selected for the On the Cutting Edge Exemplary Teaching Collection
Resources in this top level collection a) must have scored Exemplary or Very Good in all five review categories, and must also rate as "Exemplary" in at least three of the five categories. The five categories included in the peer review process are
- Scientific Accuracy
- Alignment of Learning Goals, Activities, and Assessments
- Pedagogic Effectiveness
- Robustness (usability and dependability of all components)
- Completeness of the ActivitySheet web page
For more information about the peer review process itself, please see http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/review.html.
This page first made public: Sep 21, 2006
This material was originally developed as part of the Carleton College Teaching Activity Collection
through its collaboration with the SERC Pedagogic Service.
Learning Goals
- Observing fluvial landscapes in detail
- Connecting landscape observations to map and cross-section representations
- Relating earth materials to landscape position and geomorphic process
- Moving between cross-sectional and planar views of landscapes
- Reconstructing history of a river system
- Understanding rivers as transporters and depositors of sediment
- Surveying
- Coring and describing alluvial material
- Understanding vertical exaggeration in cross-sections
- Making a sketch map
- Observation, note-taking, and sketching
- Describing color and texture of soil materials
Context for Use
This lab can take from one to three hours, depending on the detail and methods of the surveying, drafting of the cross-section and maps, and number of soil cores dug.
Physical geology or geography course: Use during units on rivers, fluvial landscapes, or sedimentary processes
Earth History course: Use during unit on how geologic landscapes evolve
Earth systems science course: Use during discussion of storage and transport of water and sediment in river systems
Useful background information before lab: Distinguishing sand, silt, clay (although this can be taught during this lab).
Field site: a stream or river with a floodplain, ideally undisturbed by humans. It is helpful, though not essential, to have good visibility across the floodplain.
Equipment needed:
- 50-meter tapes
- Augers or other soil-coring devices (a meter in length is helpful)
- Automatic level, tripod and survey rod - or a handlevel in the hands of two students of equal eye height
- Graph paper (five to a cm) for each student
- Oversize sketchpad and markers
- Compass
- Soil color book, texture triangle and tips on distinguishing sand, silt, and clay (optional)
- Students should bring field notebooks and pencils
Teaching Materials
Teaching Notes and Tips
Scout the area ahead of time to locate a place for the topographic profile and soil cores that has these characteristics: approximately perpendicular to the river and floodplain margin, reasonable visibility along the line, typical of the area.
Students will expect that the local slope across the floodplain will be from the floodplain margins toward the river. On unmodified floodplains, with streams that overtop their banks every other year or so, the topographic profile will contain a higher area adjacent to the stream channel (the levee). It's common for the lowest part of the floodplain to be near the margins, not near the river. You can start the lab indoors by asking students to draw their conception of what the topographic cross-section will look like, and then return to those sketches at the end of the lab period (or a subsequent class period) to compare their conceptions with reality.
For a self-contained lab (no homework required): Use oral reports from groups to assess how well they interpreted their part(s) of the assignments.
At the start of the next class period, ask students to sketch the topographic cross-section and briefly describe the materials in each section and how they formed as an informal writing assignment and/or quiz.
Assessable homework after the lab: Drafted explanatory cross-sections and maps; soil stratigraphic columns, short paper about the relationship between river evolution and the stratigraphy and topography of the floodplain.

Advancing Nuclear Medicine Through Innovation (September 2007)Report in Brief
The variety of technologies and procedures that comprise nuclear medicine are now a routine and vital part of diagnosing cancers, cardiovascular disease, and certain neurological disorders, as well as treating some cancers. At the request of the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health, the National Research Council assembled a committee to review the current state of the science in nuclear medicine, identify future opportunities in nuclear medicine research, and recommend ways to reduce impediments to advancing the field. The report identifies a number of exciting emerging opportunities in nuclear medicine, including the ability to understand addictions and depression, to better assess the effectiveness of drugs, and to individualize cancer therapies. However, to realize these promises, federal support is needed to overcome such issues as the shortage of clinical and research personnel, an inadequate supply of radionuclides for research, and cumbersome regulatory requirements.

I was reading through some posts at my local Atheist web site, from which I am banned, and came across this interesting article.
To look at this personally, I have no views on blasphemy, if somebody doesn't want me to blaspheme, or draw Mohamed, because they would feel offended by it, I would then not blaspheme, nor would I draw Mohamed. (please feel free to tell me not drawing Mohamed is offensive to you if you like:)
I then looked at the UN's view on the death penalty. (I thought about a compromise, get rid of the death penalty first, and then I'd agree to the blasphemy law, but that would be a stupid idea, the death penalty should be abolished regardless)
And Islam's view of the death penalty in relation to blasphemy.
And Christianity.
I have no problem with not committing blasphemy, I think it's a good personal choice to never commit blasphemy, but to make an international law out of it is a little scary. The main reason why it is scary is because; what is offensive to one person may not be offensive to another. What one person considers blasphemous may not be considered blasphemous by another. This law can only ever be judged by using personal opinion, it can never be judged objectively in any way.
Any opinions out there? Or problems with my views on the subject?
Views: 394
Total agreement. Those who are offended by Everyone Draw Mohammed Day or criticism against their favorite sacred cow can grow a thicker skin. Personally, I'm offended by the likes of Pat Robertson, John Hagee, Kenneth Copeland and who knows how many other christian jackanapes, never mind Ayatollah Khamenei and any number of islamic idiot children who would have their god and their prophet declared off-limits to scrutiny, criticism or mockery.
As I have said many times, if they don't like the heat, the door to the kitchen is THAT WAY. ====>
I don't think that freedom of speech is something that we can compromise on.
However, I do agree that blasphemy day is not appropriate, especially for atheists.
If blasphemy ever becomes illegal, then it will be time to open the floodgates.

Growing thicker skin and learning how to walk away are pretty much the best answers to many of life's problems, in my mind also. And the thicker my skin gets the easier it is to walk away. Personally I see nothing offensive with drawing Mohamed, but I do see a lot wrong and offensive with killing people who do draw Mohamed. But I still wouldn't go out of my to draw Mohamed or blaspheme.
A couple of other things about this new global law are:
1. It is being made by a select few people and also being passed by a select few people, none of whom have been voted for by we the people. And many of whom we would not want to have as decision makers.
2. Currently if somebody blasphemes or draws Mohamed, we know as a fact, that some crazy guy may very well come and kill the blasphemer. So if this new global law is passed, will it increase the number of crazy people who feel they have a right to kill blasphemers, because the law will then be on the side of the crazy people.
So why make such a law? The vast majority of people who draw Mohamed don't draw Mohamed in order to blaspheme. (I mentioned this earlier, how blasphemy to one person is not blasphemy to another). The majority of people who draw Mohamed, do so as a protest for freedom of speech, and they do it in the face of violent intimidation. I'm beginning to think that this law is not only a little scary but also a little crazy. Crazy because it is siding with people who believe in violence as a means to have there own personal way.
I also hope such a law never comes to pass.
I was banned for calling somebody a liar, over the topic of vegetarianism. It's an extremely trivial incident, but being banned has its advantages. I found I could look at people from a completely different perspective and the topics of discussion become clearer. So ultimately it became a win/win situation.
my kinda blasphemy:
I Blaspheme religiously every day! Because I tell only the truth and the truth is that Theology is nothing more than pondering porkies. Jesus stole all his ideas from Buddhism and Confucianism which the same teachings half a millennium earlier. I call Islamic/ Judaic/ Christian God a severely malevolent, narcissistic megalomaniac, because that is exactly how the Bible really describes his/her/it's nature.
Anybody being absolutely honest about religion is a blasphemer.
I'd much rather be a blasphemer than a liar.
All theologians are devout liars, because all theology is based on nothing more than lies.
Aye M8z!
Examples of malevolence by God, Floods killing millions to get rid of a few dissenters, plague giving many thousands of inhabitants nothing more to eat than stewed locust (a delicacy in some places) to demonstrate power to a single king when splitting a rock near him with a bolt of lightning on command would have been sufficient. Narcissism, we must worship it!, Megalomania "I'm the one true God, alpha and omega". These are only for starters.
Even Satan killed far fewer people in the Bible: Deaths directly attributed to Satan (around 10), Deaths directly attributed to God's malevolence: Possibly Millions.
Though the Flood really never occurred, as it is an impossibility.
Aye M8z!
Nobody stops me from what I want to say.
I've said this multiple times before, but ... aaaah, what the hell, say it again:
Blasphemy is nothing but WORDS ... and words can only hurt where people enable those words and give them PERMISSION TO HURT. Blasphemy does NOT rise to the level of shouting "FIRE!!!" in a crowded theater and does not deserve any kind of special status, needing or requiring punitive action.
The problem has been that there are groups of people who have been taught to react as though blasphemy had such status. These are people who take their faith as fact, for whom Allah or Yahweh are real, their prophets and saviors were and are real. These people are indoctrinated past the point where fact, logic and reason have no impact. Around such people, caution is strongly suggested, because they cannot tolerate cognitive dissonance or even arguments against their position. There is neither nuance nor subtlety to their attitude or to their reaction to mockery or blasphemy. They will excise it from their midst by any means at their disposal, and they will feel fully justified in doing so. After all, their god told them to do so.
As such people frequently act en masse, so must we also act as a group. We must face them down with numbers, call them on their bullshit. Most of all, we must awaken those who seem to live in a Politically Correct world, where no cross words are said and one's feelings are hurt, those whose hearts bleed at the least provocation. We must inform such people that giving in to the religious absolutists amounts to letting the camel's nose into the tent, which will shortly be followed by his head, neck, hump and finally tail. There has to be an adult in the room, sufficiently empowered to say NO to the religious mob, and to encourage them, however unlikely it is to happen, to grow up and culture a thicker skin.
We can do this ... or we can give the inmates charge of the asylum.
Hi Loren,
How are things?
I was thinking about your statement:
Blasphemy is nothing but WORDS ... and words can only hurt where people enable those words and give them PERMISSION TO HURT.
What I sometimes try and do, for fun, with certain statements, is try and make the logic behind them universal.
Eg: If we change the word 'Blasphemy' with the 'N' word (ie: the racist word for black people), what would the effect be?
Firstly some non racist examples of the 'N' word:
When I look at these video clips, I see different interpretations of the 'N' word. Kramer's use of the 'N' word isn't so much about hating black people, it's more about making those particular African Americans feel bad and upset because they are making Kramer feel that way, it's more about revenge than racism. Dave Chappelle use of the 'N' word is analogous to person. Chris Rock's use is akin to White Trash (Bogan/Westy in Australia). And the teenage white girls use, is just teenagers ranting.
Then some other examples are:
The crazy people in these three examples are the types of people who use the 'N' word in a racist way. They use it out of pure hatred.
And comic relief.
Even though I have given a lot of different examples of how the 'N' word can be used and interpreted, ultimately if a non-black person uses it, it will more than likely be interpreted as racist. Feelings will be hurt. Emotions will kick in. Not by all people, but by those who are offended by the 'N' word.
I think the same emotional response happens when theists hear blasphemous remarks, the same feelings are also hurt. And again, not by all people, just those who are offended by blasphemy.
Finally, what I am trying to find here is a line. Where do we draw the line between freedom of expression and out-right offensive statements.
One last point: There are some important distinctions to be made between using the 'N' word and blasphemy.
1. Black people exist, God doesn't.
2. Racist words are almost always directed toward specific people, blasphemy is usually not directed towards specific people.
The above are just some fun thoughts I had.
Leveni, the "N" word is just another word, like it or not. Its problem is that it has been given significance out of proportion with what it represents. It is a racial slur, like "Spick" or "Wop" or "Kike," but made far more notorious by its association with slavery in the United States.
As with any such word, the problem is less the word itself, but people's REACTION to that word. That reaction, like the reaction to blasphemy, is LEARNED ... and if it can be learned, it can be unlearned, even as we have unlearned any kind of consideration or respect for deities or the beliefs associated with them. In this day and age, we in the US have yielded such power to one lousy word that it holds us in thrall, but with very interesting conditions. I can't help but note that black people in places employ this word all the time in general conversation, and comedians like Chris Rock use it for shock value in front of black and white audiences.
If a WHITE person uses it, though, the reaction and impact is an entirely different matter. Such a person is immediately looked at askance, and will almost certainly be considered a racist. It is the poison-pill word to end all poison pills. Interestingly, Dan Jenkins attempted to counter this trend in his comedic novel, Semi-Tough, where his main character, a white running back for the New York Giants named Billy Clyde Puckett, delivers his own take on the "N" word and observes its use by him and his teammates of both colors. I should note, though, that Semi-Tough was originally published in 1972, long before the advent of the concept of "political correctness."
It's still down to "sticks and stones," guy ... combined with our own stupidity about language and overreaction to certain combinations of vowels and consonants which haven't the power to so much as muss a hair on our heads, let alone do hard, physical injury. This is true whether we're talking about racial or religious slurs. Stipulated, black people exist where god does not, but people, black or white, CHOOSE how to react to words they hear, and that choice is LEARNED. And to close, I have to say this, because ultimately, it is a truism we all have to face:
No one has the right not to be offended.
Hi Loren.
No one has the right not to be offended.
I can only agree with the statement because being offended is subjective.
I want to change the direction of this discussion a bit.
1.Being offended by the 'N' word, when used by white Americans, is a deep seeded part of African American culture (it is learned, passed down from parent to child).
2.Being offended by blasphemy, is a deep seeded part of religion, and is also learned.
So why do humans learn to be offended? Is it some kind of defence mechanism?

If there is one thing we don't like about Microsoft it's when they put an end to good ideas that seemingly didn't get a fair chance.
Such is the case with Galactic Reign, the distinctive space-battle and strategy game that co-launched on Windows Phone and Windows 8 just a few months ago. The game allowed people to play online against other Xbox users and to continue the game on their phone or tablet, seamlessly. The game's real unique feature was the custom rendering of space battles, giving users a new way to appreciate war.
Now in their support forums, Microsoft has announced that the game will no longer be available after August 15th, which is in just three days. The game's online servers which power the system, will be taken offline December 31st.
Color us crushed.
The game, which costs $4.99 on Windows Phone and Windows 8 (though users only needed to purchase it once for cross-platform play), will evidently not be refunded unless you put up a fight with customer service.
But why?
Microsoft only gave the tersest non-answer to the question 'Why?' by stating:
"We continually explore new games and entertainment concepts. Galactic Reign was a great cloud-based video rendering game exploration that we are going to bring to a close."
There are either two explanations for the change: the business model just did not work out (and not enough people were playing to justify the costs) or the game itself was a test-bed for newer technology (that you paid to be a part of). While the second answer probably has some truth in it, we suspect that it was simply not cost-efficient to run those servers with so few players.
In fact, as much as we love the game, we found ourselves often forgetting we had ongoing battles with other opponents. The game is turn-based, meaning games could go on for some time, especially if someone didn't play their turn.
Even worse was Microsoft's answer to the question will there be any future Galactic Reign games released? The answer is no, meaning this is the end of this unique experience.
We understand Microsoft has a business to run, but we can't help but be upset at such a cancellation. The game has massive potential and had it gone to iOS and Android along with some actual promotion, could have potentially taken off bringing much needed attention to the mobile Xbox universe. The game has a high 4.5 Star rating in the Store from 366 reviews, but that number of reviews is quite low for an Xbox Live title.
You can read our detailed review of Galactic Reign here and if you need to re-download it before it goes, you can pick it up here in the Store.

The Torre Attack – an easy opening
The Torre Attack (named after Mexican Chess grandmaster Carlos Torre Repetto – if trivia is your thing) is an opening which is both easy to understand and easy to play. It's also used by some of the best international chess players, so you know it's worth taking a look at.
Here's a video by IM Andrew Martin so you can see what it is all about:
You can also find more analysis by reading Andrew Martin's latest article on the Torre Attack or by buying his exclusive two-part, part 1 and part 2, video series in our online store.
Perhaps the Torre Attack is your first step on the path to Grandmaster?

All reports on the impacts of Hurricane Sandy's brief encounter with the South Coast on Oct. 29 indicate that town officials and employees in Dartmouth and Westport were well prepared for the storm's arrival, and got good marks for dealing with the various emergencies generated by high winds and tide-driven storm surges.
Even the utility companies got some praise from customers and local officials, for using pre-positioned crews and equipment to speed up their response to calls for downed lines and blocked roads.
After hearing a report from Executive Administrator David Cressman and Police Chief Timothy Lee at a post-storm review session on Thursday night, the Select Board credited emergency management volunteers, public safety employees, and Highway Department personnel with "a tremendous response" to storm-related problems throughout the town.
Despite some scattered power losses, downed trees and flooded roads, "the town came out fine" due to the great execution of its emergency operations group, said Select Board Chairman Lara Stone. Extra dispatchers and police officers were called in, and an emergency command post established at the police station.
Six residents sought shelter at a town emergency station set up at the senior center, but most ignored the evacuation orders issued to residents in low-lying shoreline areas, and rode out the storm at home, she noted.
Seeing the devastation the storm wreaked on New Jersey and New York, Dartmouth was fortunate, Ms. Stone suggested. "We were spared so much damage, as a community, this time."
Senator John Kerry was on hand Tuesday morning, as town officials held their post-storm debriefing, "and he commended us for our good work," Ms. Stone said. The senator dialed up NSTAR officials on his way out to press for immediate aid, she added, and the result was "the power company responded quickly whenever we called them."
The town requested that NSTAR assign a full-time field manager to coordinate efforts in Dartmouth, but the request was declined, she said.
But she added, the utility company's response times were "100 percent better than (Tropical Storm) Irene."
Thousands of customers in Dartmouth were left without electric power for short periods of time; by Thursday afternoon's meeting, the Select Board said only 27 homes in town were still without electricity.
Friday morning, NSTAR spokesman Michael Durand reported in an e-mail that "After a remarkable repair and restoration effort by all of our employees and contractors, we have returned every town in the NSTAR service territory back to normal operations. Anyone still without power as a result of the storm should call us at 1-800-592-2000 right away."
Since Sandy impacted the region on Monday, NSTAR crews had restored power to nearly 400,000 customers throughout the region, the company reported Thursday, and was dispatching repair crews to Connecticut to help deal with storm damage there.
Westport hit hard
In Westport, Highway Department crews were on duty through the height of the storm Monday night, staying on call through Tuesday morning to deal with emergencies such as downed trees and blocked roads, Westport Highway Department foreman Chris Gonsalves reported.
Westport Point was hard hit by the storm surge, and trees were down all over town, with Highway Department crews helping to clear roads of fallen limbs as soon as the utility companies dealt with any live wires, Mr. Gonsalves said. By late Wednesday afternoon, only two roads were still being impacted by tree falls, he said.
Public safety officials began getting calls for downed limbs, fallen wires, and flooded roads around 10 a.m. Monday.
Reports of tree limbs and wires down poured in steadily from 11 a.m. to late afternoon: Main Road, Old Bedford Road, White Oak Run, Drift Road, Division Road and Sanford Road were all on the list. By 4 p.m., there were also wires down on Gifford Road, Pine Hill Road, Highland Avenue, Beeden Road, Cornell Road, Mouse Mill Road, and Briggs Road, and hundreds of homes were left in the dark for various periods of time.
Flooded road reports included River Road, Old Harbor Road, Fisher Road, and John Reed Road by the height of the storm.
The day after the storm, heavy equipment was, as usual, dispatched to East Beach Road to move the sand and cobble stones off the road and back towards the shoreline, Mr. Gonsalves also reported.
The road work continued through Friday, with a pair of heavy duty excavators still busy pushing sand and cobble stones back onto the highly-eroded East Beach waterfront.
Another 100 feet or so of the north end of the roadway was damaged by crashing waves and the high tide surges Monday. The road remained closed Friday, but was passable for emergency vehicles.
Post-storm, town plans are being finalized for the reconstruction of that portion of East Beach Road washed away by Tropical Storm Irene last year.
Some defensive measures to protect the road from future storm damage are being included in the rebuilding plans.
Dartmouth shelters
were staffed and ready
Monday morning, special writer Jason Protami visited the Dartmouth Council on Aging building on Dartmouth Street, which was set up as an emergency shelter for local residents ordered to evacuate waterfront homes threatened by Hurricane Sandy's high winds and rising waters.
At 8 a.m. Monday, members of Dartmouth Emergency Management, the Community Emergency Response Team, and volunteer Medical Response Corps began to arrive at the shelter and prepare for the worst of the storm's impact.
Edward Pimental, director of Dartmouth Emergency Management, was on the scene coordinating the all-volunteer staff at the shelter while simultaneously working in concert with local police and fire personnel to deal with aid calls.
"Our first responsibility is to provide an emergency shelter for people displaced by the storm," Mr. Pimental said. "But if people need to come in and can't get here on their own, and first responders (Police, Fire Dept., EMTs) aren't able to, we will go and pick them up and bring them here," he explained as he worked.
The emergency response team delivered one generator to a home where vital medical equipment needed guaranteed power. A second emergency shelter was ready at the high school if needed.
Early Monday morning, police officers had begun notifying residents of low-lying waterfront areas that a mandatory evacuation order was in effect. People around Padanaram Harbor, Anthony's Beach, Jones Beach, Little River and Smith Neck Road either received phone calls or visits from police officers suggesting they seek shelter inland.
Grace and David Wyss decided to heed the warning. Grace explained, "At about 7:30 a.m., a police officer knocked on the door. He was very polite and told us that there was going to be a mandatory evacuation for residents of our area."
When "they came back in the afternoon and told us again," the couple packed up and left their Cynthia Street home. "Since we don't live that far away (from the shelter) we decided to come," she said.
The Wyss' were two of the four South Dartmouth residents who decided that the shelter was the best place to wait out the storm's peak effects. Others included Peter Sylvia, who lives on Russells Mill Road, and was concerned about flooding, and Gabe Beco, a daily visitor to the Council On Aging daily. He lives alone and "just felt safer" with other people around, he said.
All four left the shelter after 9 p.m., when the threat of high-tide flooding had subsided. Other residents, along with Emergency Management staff, stayed the night.
Jenni and Lyss Taylor, along with Lyss' young daughter Tessa were thankful for a safe place to stay. Lyss said, "We were home and a huge tree fell and hit a neighbor's house. We got really nervous because there was another big tree hanging over our house."
When her father suggested "because of the baby, that we should probably go to the shelter," she agreed. "Our father stayed home with the three dogs and Jenni's pet bird," she said.
Gaffney Road resident Robert Nochimon came to the shelter later in the day, after those gathered there had already shared a dinner of spaghetti and garlic bread, with ice cream for dessert. He had found he couldn't get to his house. "There was a big tree, I mean a really big tree, down across the road," he said, gesturing with arms fully extended "I couldn't get by, so I came here."
All things considered, Dartmouth residents were pretty lucky with Hurricane Sandy. The town's emergency response plans worked perfectly, and those in need of emergency shelter, like Lyss Taylor and her baby Tessa, were happy to learn that a safe haven was there for them and other residents.

Do you think chocolate chip cookies or french fries are out of reach when you follow a healthy, natural diet? Not a chance! With a few simple tweaks, many "no no" foods are just fine. You can even pack some disease-fighting nutrients in the recipes. So go ahead, try our dish makeovers and enjoy!
We up the nutrition of the beloved chocolate chip cookie, keeping its milk-dunking goodness.
A healthy redo of french fries, this popular "vegetable" curbs the fat and salt but keeps the crunch.

Roasted tomatillos and two types of chiles, packed with vitamin C, are blended into an intensely flavorful sauce.
Replacing mayo with mustard and yogurt amps up the health benefits of this classic sandwich filling.
Apples and shiitakes impart moisture to stuffing, along with subtly sweet and earthy notes. What's more, the flavonoids in apples benefit your heart, lungs, and brain, and the pectin in apples helps your heart. Shiitakes boost your immune system and can lower cholesterol.
Pureed sweet potatoes give brownies moisture, sweetness, and a fudgy consistency, as well as fiber and beta-carotene. Their mild flavor keeps the chocolate center stage.
Peel away the tough exterior of a rutabaga to discover a hearty, firm flesh that's tasty and filling.
A healthful dip can bring flavor and nutrition to the table. Fiber-rich artichokes are the base of this vegetable-cheese mix -- and its "chips."
These drinks make a refreshing and nutritious snack -- especially once you swirl in fresh fruit.
There's no need to buy a special pizza pan; an upside-down baking sheet works just as well. If you like, you can add a little cornmeal to the baking sheet before cooking.
Instead of battered and fried fish, grilled red snapper is flavored with chili powder to pack a punch.
This tasty version incorporates fresh basil into the patty. Look for grass-fed or organic beef, and organic or free-range turkey.
Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts add richness to this light breading; the coating keeps the chicken moist. For longer shelf life, store nuts in the freezer.
The cake is best eaten right after it's decorated. To ensure that the layers rise properly (and don't sink), avoid opening the oven door as they bake.
