Since the release of "Roller Coaster", their first EP for InFiné, it has taken the Spitzer brothers almost two years to produce their debut album. And not just any old two years; these have seen unrelenting winds of change blow like never before. North Africa, the Middle East, Japan, Russia, France, China: everywhere, there have been calls for Humankind to take its History back into its own hands. The idea of "The Call" perfectly captures the spirit of our movement-revering age; fittingly, this is also the title of the Spitzer brothers' first album.
As teenagers, Damien – on drums – and Matthieu – on guitar – were already using pop and punk compositions to release their angst, summoning an American vocalist from time to time to sound more legitimate. Slightly broke, the two siblings eventually decided to swap their instruments for digital production tools and turn their flat – located in the Guillotière district of Lyon – into a home studio; they then proceeded to seal their union for good under the Spitzer moniker, as a nod to Al Pacino's favourite cocktail in Donnie Brasco (the Spritzer).
Around the web at the time, the self-promotion guerrilla was raging with a plethora of free mp3 and flashy visuals being exchanged: the DIY ethos of the naughties was in full swing. Many artists fought to be recognised by the worldwide Blogosphere and get the most "friends" on Myspace. Spitzer played their cards right, scoring two remixes for Kylie Minogue and Sally Shapiro, as well as a world tour despite not having released a single record.
But Spitzer were starting to think about making a real album, displaying a new-found thirst for materiality. With the unfailing support of the Nuits Sonores team, which they'd enjoyed right from the early days, they stayed true to their Lyon roots and eventually ended up signing with the local purveyor of electronic music, InFiné. This led them to remix a track for Aufgang ("Sonar") and release their debut EP in spring 2010 ("Roller Coaster").
The Call has been released on 3rd September 2012.

Burrell Still 3rd
Today's Lineup
Rollins, ss; Victorino, cf; Utley, 2b; Howard, 1b; Burrell, lf; Jenkins, rf; Feliz, 3b; Coste, c; Moyer, p.
Easier to get up this morning after last night's win. Good job by J. A. and then the long balls by Ryan and Pedro and another save for Brad. Now, we need another win today to take the series. Then the first-place, but under-.500, Arizona Diamondbacks for the weekend series.
Roster Move
J. A. was returned to Lehigh Valley this morning and 1B-3B-OF-DH Mike Cervenak's was brought up from the IronPigs.
Idea was to add another hitter on the bench. We won't need a fifth starter until the July 25 Atlanta weekend after the All-Star break. LV's season resumes a week from today and Happ can pitch, rather than sit.
Cervenak, a 31-year-old right-handed hitter, has been in the minor leagues since 1999 when he broke in in an independent league. He's never been in the majors. He's a .297 career hitter in the minors. He's wearing #24.
At-Bat For Pat
This morning, Pat visited the four Phillies fans who have been voting 24 hours a day from Citizens Bank Park through WIP's marathon Final Vote promotion. Nick Ferraro of Lancaster, Monica Howard, Conshohocken, Jason Schatz, Willow Grove and Todd Smith, Oreland, have been voting on their respective lap tops since Tuesday noon.
In this morning's update Pat remains in third place with Hart and Wright in a "tightly-contested competition as the final hours approach."
Voting ends at 5 o'clock this afternoon with the winners to be announced shortly thereafter.
Pat's teammates chipped in with video plugs for Pat on phillies.com.
Burrell Climbing
Pat is moving up in several Phillies all-time rankings. He is fourth in the home-run rankings, trailing third-place Chuck Klein, 243-240.
Among RBI leaders, Pat has moved into ninth place (795). Next on the list is The Bull (811). And, Pat is fifth in walks (751). Roy Thomas and Bobby Abreu are next, 946 each.
Minor League Notes
CF Greg Golson has been activated from the DL (wrist injury) at Reading and will be able to play in Sunday's Futures Game at Yankee Stadium and the Eastern League All-Star Game on Wednesday . . . Reading RH reliever Pat Overholt has been added to the EL All-Star game roster.
1 Comment
Great to hear that those 4 fans at the stadium voting are still awake and voting! I voted at home yesterday for 5 hours non-stop (and yes, I officially have no life) which does not really compare to what those 4 are doing, but I will be going at it again today all day! Also wanted to say that I am SO excited to see Mike Cervenak called-up and finally get a shot at the Bigs! He has really paid his dues and deserves it…I look forward to seeing him in action! He's a really sweet guy to boot :o) Nice to see good things happen to good people. Hoping for a win again today…Go Phillies!

Katy Perry spent two weeks in bed battling depression after her ex-husband Russell Brand filed for divorce at the end of 2011.
The singer has previously admitted she felt suicidal following the marriage breakdown and now she's opening up about the experience that left her at her lowest point in a new interview with the U.K.'s Sunday Times.
The Roar singer admits she was hurt and stunned when the funnyman announced his plans to end their 14-month marriage and tells the publication, "I was in bed for about two weeks. I was pretty f**ked. It hurt a lot. I got a good knock.
"Although I had the outward self-identity, I didn't have the inner kind, I hadn't built that up. My self-worth was in someone else's hands, which is never a good idea, because it can be taken from you at any time. And it was, and it was shattered."
She admits her deep, dark feelings from that time inspired many of the songs on her new album Prism: "I wanted to call this record… Adult Reality, because (last album) Teenage Dream was me so high on that cotton-candy cloud, and then it's like I got punched in the face and kicked down the stairs a couple of times. I had to face the reality that things are not always on cloud nine.
"I was down and out, I'd lost hope, all of my confidence had been shattered."

Tuesday September 17, 2019
Case of the Week
Lucky Lucy Lindstrom's "Hurricane Grants" Charity
Case:Lucky Lucy Lindstrom finished college and headed west. She started as a financial analyst with a large company in Seattle. After just four years, she became a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and began advising clients. Lucy also managed her own investments. With her keen insight into financial markets, Lucy soon began to move from traditional stocks and bonds into futures and commodities markets. Lucy was so successful in these markets that she now only manages her own large personal portfolio.
Somewhat late in life, Lucky Lucy discovered the wonderful world of philanthropy. She volunteered at her favorite charity and learned that giving someone in need a helping hand is even more gratifying than making another million in the futures market.
Lucy had invested $1,000,000 in stock in a Canadian oil "wildcatter" with the name Northern Long Shot, Inc. This company has been drilling new exploratory wells in the far north. Recently, the stock rose from the $1 per share that she paid to over $5 per share. Lucy was delighted with her gain and decided to give the $5,000,000 to a charitable foundation to help those in need.
Lucy discussed options with her attorney and her favorite charity. Lucy was very interested in a private foundation. She asked her attorney for reasons to select a private foundation. Her attorney noted that private foundations are more expensive to operate, appreciated gifts are deductible only up to 20% of adjusted gross income (AGI) and deductions for gifts of real estate to a private foundation are limited to cost basis. He also explained that there is usually a 2% excise tax on investment income and that private foundations are subject to various rules on self-dealing, minimum distributions and excess business holdings. However, a private foundation would give Lucy full control. This is important to Lucy, since she wants to make grants for disaster relief directly to those in need.
Question:Lucy said, "Wow! There are a lot of negatives about private foundations. So why set up a private foundation? And if I fund a private foundation, can I make grants to people who have been impacted by recent hurricanes?"
Solution:Her attorney responded and noted that private foundation grants are subject to the expenditure responsibility rules. These rules will require Lucy to take specific steps. First, her private foundation must make a pre-grant inquiry before making a grant where expenditure responsibility is required. The purpose of the pre-grant inquiry is to ensure that the recipient will use the grant for proper exempt purposes.
Second, a grant agreement must then be executed and the recipient must agree to repay any unused portion of the grant, provide reports to Lucy's private foundation on the use of funds, maintain records and receipts of expenditures and make its books and records available to the private foundation. The recipient must also agree not to use the funds for prohibited lobbying or political purposes, not to use the funds to make grants to individuals and not to use the funds for any non-charitable activity.
Next, Lucy's private foundation must obtain follow-up reports from the recipient indicating how the funds were used, the progress being made in achieving the grant purpose and confirming that the grant terms were followed. Finally, the private foundation must report to the IRS that it made an expenditure responsibility grant. Reg. 53.4945-5(b).
These are rather stringent and perhaps expensive requirements. However, Lucy was determined to maintain control over the grants and was willing to live with the added cost and effort to comply with the expenditure responsibility rules. She funded the foundation and now has the satisfaction of directing grants to those in great need.

Actress Sienna Miller has confessed she was romantically involved with Bond icon Daniel Craig when she was dating fellow screen star Jude Law.
The Factory Girl actress took time out from shooting a movie in the States on Friday to testify in the phone-hacking trial 4,600 miles (7,400 kilometres) away in London.
She gave evidence via videolink from a base in New Orleans, Louisiana where she is currently filming scenes for new drama Mississippi Grind.
The court heard earlier this week that the now-defunct British tabloid News of the World had exposed an alleged affair between Miller and Craig after illegally intercepting a voicemail message from the actress to the 007 star in which she said, "I love you".
Miller, who has already accepted a $160,000 compensation payout from tabloid bosses over the hacking scandal, told the court on Friday that she was close friends with Craig and it was "likely" she had left him the message.
She insisted she ends many calls to pals by saying "I love you", but when pushed during cross-examination over the nature of their relationship, she admitted they had been "briefly involved" adding, "It was a very brief encounter – he was my best friend."
Miller also expressed her frustration that the story of her relationship with Craig has been "allowed out of the courtroom" and turned into a "titillating bit of info".
Several former high-ranking members of the News of the World's staff – including ex-editors Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks – are on trial in London over the phone-hacking scandal. They deny all the charges.
Actress Sienna Miller has confessed she was romantically involved with Bond icon Daniel Craig when she was dating fellow screen star Jude Law.

Today, I am just speaking to the ladies.
But the men can listen in.
Ladies, you know that feeling when you've dumped someone and you feel a little guilty? You know that you felt strong when you dumped him, but now you wish you hadn't.
But you don't have the courage to contact him, so you just wish that there was someone nice to share your bed and bring a little warmth to your miserable nights.
Perhaps, though, you've been dumped. The empty-bed feeling's the same.
There's no one there. And who wants to risk a one-night stand with a co-worker? Or, worse, someone you met on Facebook?
Ladies, I am here to rescue you from your plight, from those sleepless nights of cold and loneliness.
For here is Soine-ya Prime.
It's a funny name. But not so funny in Japanese.
You see, this is a site where you pay $364 in order to have a very nice boy sleep next to you.
You will immediately be thinking that there will surely be funny business involved. You know, monkey business.
But, no.
My translators at Gizmodo tell me this site has strict rules.
The idea for it came from a Japanese TV series called Shimshima. It was about a woman who got divorced and had trouble sleeping.
You see, Japan has more sophisticated TV than does the U.S. Indeed, this one had the catchphrase "Sleeping with men makes women stronger."
So on Soine-ya Prime, there will be no hankering for hanky-panky. You are allowed to fall asleep in this gorgeous boy's arms. You can take him on a date. You can have him perform simple cleaning tasks. (Boys don't do complicated cleaning tasks.) You can even have him cook for you.
But any notion of carnality is verboten. Any touching of genitals will be sorely punished.
Any idea of showering with him, kissing him, photographing him or doing anything that might arouse his baser instincts is strictly not allowed.
Wandering around the site, I notice how sweet and innocent all the boys on offer look. Yes, your Tokyo Tommy or your Shizuoka-Ken Doll seems like such a lovely, fragrant boy.
Each one must definitely be worth $364 for 7 hours.
And yet as I peruse more closely, I notice that each boy's profile seems to list his blood type. This is a curious nuance, if the intention is for you only to fall asleep in his arms.
I have no evidence that this sleeping-in-the-arms site has led to something more akin to "Sleepless In Seattle."
However, there is something refreshing about the Web being used to foster subtler forms of relationship than those normally offered by dating sites, social networking sites and even sites that are visited by senior police officers, politicians, CEOs and others in positions of power.

In these joyful times that we currently live it seemed only right that the latest piece of research from Richmond Events' UK Business panel focuses on Workplace Happiness. However, all is not lost. As the report reveals employees still have a real sense of pride for their organisation and whilst the economic situation has clearly had an effect, individuals are utterly determined to succeed both for themselves and their organisation.
The headline findings can be found below and if you'd like to view the full report please click on the link at the bottom.
We hope you enjoy!
For the full report please click here
There are interesting differences between how organisations seem to function in the US compared with those in the UK. Looking at our most recent two Business Panel reports on how Organisations view themselves we note some key differences:
US Organisations have closer or more productive relationships with IT than UK Companies but are less close to the CEO and to Sales
In the US, Sales is the most adversarial department according to 27% of respondents, clearly causing more problems than IT in second place. In the UK, Sales were regarded as adversarial, but no more so than Finance and IT and only 17% felt sales were a problem – two thirds of the US figure.
The Finance Department is viewed with the greatest contrast on each side of the Atlantic. In the UK it is the most adversarial department according to 18% of respondents. The US is completely different with only 8% saying it causes problems, the least adversarial department apart from the CEO and Production.
CEOs in the UK are regarded as far more responsible for driving the organisation (52%) compared with their counterparts in the US (36%)
Sales departments are regarded equally positively in terms of driving the organisation forward but contrarily in the US there are just as many who view them as holding the organization back. In the UK their positive contribution is regarded as three times as much as the negative one.
In the UK, Finance departments are regarded as three times more likely to impede the progress of the company. In the US they are regarded as just as positive as they are negative.
In the UK, Sales departments are regarded as three times more likely to drive the business forward as impede its progress, in the US Sales are viewed as almost as likely to impede progress as to achieve it.
Non Executive Directors are viewed as quite influential in the UK Board Room but almost irrelevant in the US.
UK Finance Directors are viewed as effective at achieving cost saving in the UK, they are not in the US.
Innovation is greatest in the IT and Marketing departments. The US sees IT as more innovative than Marketing. The UK thinks Marketing is twice as innovative as IT.
There appear more similarities than differences between the US and UK but the differences, including those above, are very interesting.

"My ultimate goal at Old Dominion is to help develop young players into responsible young men both academically and athletically. Our goal is to be better than the best no matter what level you play on."
- Coach Malloy
Keita Malloy, who is entering his fifth season as a member of the Monarch coaching staff this Fall, enters his first season as the Assistant Defensive Coordinator overseeing the ODU secondary.
Prior to moving to the defensive side of the game, Malloy spent the last four seasons tutoring the wide receivers and tight ends developing one of the deepest positions on the ODU roster. In 2010, he also added Pass Game Coordinator to his title as well.
In 2011, Malloy's receiving corps ranked 18th nationally in passing offense capturing over 270 yards as the Monarchs captured a 10-3 overall mark, played their way to a second place finish in their first season in the Colonial Athletic Association, and advanced to the second round of the FCS playoff. The receivers were led by Frist Team All-CAA honoree Nick Mayers and Third Team All-CAA selection Reid Evans. Mayers and Evans were among the league's top receivers with Mayer posting seven touchdowns and nearly 700 recieving yards in the Monarchs' 13 games. Together Malloy's pupils helped the Monarchs rank fifth among all FCS schools in scoring averaging almost 37 points per contest.
In year number two, the Monarchs went 8-3 continuing its success as the winningest start-up FCS program with ODU ranking eighth in scoring offense generating 33.55 points per game.
In the first season of Division I football at Old Dominion, Malloy helped coach the Monarchs to the winningest start-up FCS record in the nation at 9-2. Malloy's wide receivers and tight ends helped the Monarchs average just under 400 yards per game in total offense, ranking the team among the top 20 nationally in total offense.
Malloy came to ODU after having spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.
While on staff with the Bantams, he worked with two all-conference wide receivers in Chris Olenoski and Joe Clark. He served as the tight ends coach (2003) and running backs coach (2004 & 2005) at Fordham University, where he also oversaw the team's academics. While at Fordham in 2005, Malloy helped James Prydatko earn Second Team All-Patriot League honors as he became just the second Ram running back to rush for more than 1,000 yards on the I-AA level. In 2004, he guided freshman Jonte Coven to the Patriot League Rookie of the Year award.
Malloy also served as an assistant coach at West Georgia State University and Lafayatte College. At West Georgia he coached wide receivers and a kickoff return team that set a school record with a 99-yard touchdown return. In addition, he guided receiver Detron Harris to a single-season record 63 catches in 2002, helping him earn an invitation to training camp with the Tennessee Titans. Malloy also served as the recruiting coordinator and pro liaison at West Georgia.
At Lafayette College in 2000, Malloy coached the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, Phil Yarberough, who set the school's career receiving records. He then moved on to Washburn University in 2001 where he coached the running backs and wide receivers, as well as directing the kickoff return team. At Washburn, Malloy helped Colon McNeal to second team all-conference honors as well as an appearance in the Cactus Bowl, the NCAA Division II All-Star Game.
A 1995 graduate of the University of Delaware where he was a three-year letterwinner, Malloy played wide receiver and defensive back for the Blue Hens. He was an all-conference wide receiver while helping Delaware win back-to-back league titles and earn three NCAA Division I-AA playoff bids. Malloy, who also holds a master's degree in education from American Intercontinental University, played professionally in the Arena Football League from 1994 to 1996 for the Massachusetts Marauders, the Albany Firebirds, and the Texas Terror.

Strawberries seal Facebook, WhatsApp $21 billion love affair
WhatsApp, the mobile messaging app acquired over a plate of chocolate strawberries for a cool $US19 billion ($21 billion) on Thursday, was founded by two former Yahoo engineers, one once rejected by Facebook.
As the story goes, WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum crashed a Valentine's Day dinner that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg planned for his wife Priscilla Chan, eager to discuss a tie-up between their two companies.
The negotiations rumbled on as the pair snacked on chocolate-covered strawberries intended for Ms Chan and culminated in Facebook buying WhatsApp for a staggering $21 billion.
The deal, confirmed Thursday, makes instant billionaires of Mr Koum and co-founder Brian Acton.
Not a bad return for a company the pair, both former Yahoo engineers, formed less than five years ago and for Mr Acton who, in 2009, was turned down for a job at Facebook.
He tweeted not long after that rejection: "Facebook turned me down. It was a great opportunity to connect with some fantastic people. Looking forward to life's next adventure."
WhatsApp is just the latest technology start-up to be offered an insane amount of money as part of an acquisition which is six times what Google paid for Nest in January, and 19 times what Facebook paid for Instagram two years ago.
It also comes shortly after Facebook was said to have offered photo disappearing app Snapchat $US3 billion, and Google was said to have also offered $US4 billion. Both offers were turned down.
It's so much money that people found themselves reaching beyond the business realm for context. It's equivalent to almost four-times Australia's current annual overseas aid budget. It's also the purchase price of the total annual lending of the World Bank.
The start-up, which has an active subscriber base of 450 million users per month who send and receive more than 50 billion messages per day, employs about 50 people in Mountain View, California.
The deal includes $US12 billion in Facebook stock, $US4 billion in cash and $US3 billion in restricted shares. Most of the money is likely to go to Acton and Koum, while the rest of it will filter down to employees with stock options and investor Sequoia Capital, which was reported to have invested $US8 million in the company in early 2011 for an unknown amount of equity. In a blog post, the investment firm praised the WhatsApp founders.
"For the past three years, it's been our privilege to work shoulder-to-shoulder with Jan and Brian as their close business partner and investor," Jim Goetz, a partner at Sequoia Capital, wrote on Thursday.
"It's been a remarkable journey, and we could not be happier for these talented underdogs whose unshakeable beliefs and maverick natures epitomise the spirit of Silicon Valley."
Koum said in a statement that he was "excited and honoured to partner with Mark and Facebook" as WhatsApp continued to bring its product to more people around the world.
Hinting at perhaps why Facebook bought WhatsApp, Zuckerberg said in a conference call that it was "the only widely used app we've ever seen that has a higher rate of engagement than Facebook itself".
Koum, who arrived in the US as an immigrant from the Ukraine at 16, grew up with a family who were on welfare and collected food stamps, he said in a rare public appearance at the DLD Conference in January.
One of the things that shaped WhatsApp in the long term was the exuberant fees telcos charged for text messages, Koum said – something he faced when talking with family overseas when he arrived in the US in 1992.
"There was no technology [back then like] we have today and I actually remember trying to keep in touch with my friends and family was not that easy," Koum said at the DLD conference.
"You had all these long distance telephone companies ... and you had to sign up for a plan and just communicating and keeping in touch in 1992 was so difficult and so painful.
"And when you're an immigrant – and you don't really have a lot of financial resources to do it – it gets even more challenging."
WhatsApp, which doesn't have advertising and instead makes money from a nominal $1 annual fee, allows user to chat and send pictures and videos back and forth with friends over the internet, like Apple's iMessage, Microsoft's Skype, BBM, or Facebook Messenger. It's particularly useful as a way to chat with friends and family overseas without running up big charges.
Colin Fabig, the founder of Australian-based social network spring.me, said the acquisition made sense for Facebook as users began to desert it for messaging apps like Snapchat, WhatApp and similar services.
"I think WhatsApp has got a fairly good hold in the market and Facebook's way to grow is to get new apps," Fabig said. "What they can't do is keep on having their own apps or adding things to their platform.
"People don't really jump across apps once they've logged on to one."
The Mountain View office WhatsApp is run out of is so nondescript that Wired magazine's UK editor David Rowan recently remarked that "nobody in [Silicon] Valley seems to know where WhatsApp" is based.
Rowan published on Thursday a snippet of a feature he wrote after spending three days at WhatsApp in January, the full version of which is due to appear in March. In it he details how WhatsApp was initially formed on Koum's birthday in February 2009 as a company that would make a phone "status" app that would simply indicate to those wanting to call someone whether it was a convenient time for the receiver to take the call.
The app later evolved into what it has become today – a real-time, cross-platform instant messaging app for smartphones.
Koum's co-founder Acton, a father of one and computer-science graduate from Stanford who grew up in Florida, was employee number 44 at Yahoo, where he worked on display advertising, shopping and travel, then keyword advertising. He joined WhatsApp towards the end of 2009 when it evolved to become the real-time messaging app it is today and, according to Wired, kept in touch with Koum by playing ultimate frisbee with him.
Koum said recently that the recent growth WhatsApp has experienced (it's adding about 25 million users per month) was "mind boggling".
"We're so overwhelmed by our growth," Koum said. "It's kind of mind boggling to think that we have over 400 million people [that] use our product regularly."
Curiously though, Koum said as recently as January that he wasn't looking to sell his company.
"We're trying to build a company that we can be proud of and not something that is built just to quickly bump and dump," he said.
"I think for us it's always been about building a company that is here to stay, that is here for the next 10, 20 and 50 years."
What changed Koum's mind is unknown, but the story of how he and Facebook's founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg began nutting out an agreement has come to light via news agency Bloomberg.
Zuckerberg first reached out to Koum in early 2012, when the two met for coffee at a German bakery in Los Altos, California, and ended up talking for more than two hours, a source with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg. They have since met frequently, going to dinner and on hikes, said the source, who asked not to be named because the process isn't being discussed publicly.
Koum went to Zuckerberg's house in Palo Alto for dinner on February 9, and the conversation became more serious. The two talked about how they could work together more closely on Zuckerberg's Internet.org initiative for connecting the world on mobile devices, and the conversation evolved into acquisition talks in the next 10 days, with Zuckerberg suggesting Koum join Facebook's board.
On Valentine's Day, Koum came by Zuckerberg's house with chocolate-covered strawberries that the two shared as they hammered out pricing points, the source said.
Whether WhatsApp will now introduce advertising is likely to be one of the concerns its existing users will have. In June 2012, Kuom penned a blog post explaining "why we don't sell ads".
He said advertising disrupted aesthetics and insulted users' intelligence.
How this view will work with Facebook, which makes most, if not all of its money from advertising, remains to be seen.
Facebook said in a blog post that "you can still count on absolutely no ads interrupting your communication". Whether "non-disruptive" advertising will appear is another question.

Though I may be working away in my Canadian digs, America is currently enjoying a nice Memorial Day weekend of sports and sausages. Don't get too lazy, though; there's a big week of releases ahead. Alas, while that seems like good news, I'm a little depressed. You'd think that capping off the month of May with two huge Xbox 360 releases, one huge Wii release, a PC release that's the butt of recent jokes, and a bunch of other games would be a boon to a game writer. But where-oh-where will I find the time to play all these games? Here's a quick sampling of what's coming down:
Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm (PS2)
Circus Empire (PC)
Codename Panzers: Commander's Edition (PC)
Crush (PSP)
Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)
Mario Party 8 (Wii)
Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia (PC, Xbox 360)
Pony Friends (DS)
Secrets of Atlantis (PC)
Shadowrun (PC, Xbox 360)
Surf's Up (PC, GCN, PS2, GBA, DS, PSP, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii)
Tamagotchi: Party On! (Wii)
Tank Beat (DS)
Halo 2 (PC)
Ben and I plan on working out our differences in Shadowrun; he gets the PC version and I'll be playing the 360 release. Our wireless wheel controllers have also been quaking in anticipation of Forza 2. Meanwhile, I've been working away at Mario Party 8 for tomorrow's review and am trying to find the time for a hearty helping of Atelier Iris 3—it's been a while since I wandered around the water-color towns of Atelier screaming at every object I inspect.

Predictions of Washington insiders were fulfilled yesterday when Harry Reid introduced a substitute amendment that includes the Corker-Hoeven amendment and the rest of the Gang of Eight's bill, refused to allow any other amendments, and announced that the Senate will move straight to final passage of the bill, with debate cut off on Monday and final passage probably on Wednesday or Thursday. The actual text of the Corker-Hoeven Amendment wasn't made public until yesterday, and the senators themselves were still hand-writing edits to the amendment at the last minute.
We explained here why Corker-Hoeven does nothing to address the fatal defects in the Gang's bill, but the amendment's real purpose was political: its supposedly draconian enforcement provisions, most notably a doubling of the border patrol, are intended to give Republicans cover in voting for the bill. Once the text of the bill became public, however, it turned out that Corker-Hoeven is even worse than originally understood. For instance, the government doesn't even have to begin hiring those famous border agents until 2017, and the deadline for completion of the supposedly required (and entirely futile) fence is 2021. And, intentionally or not, Corker-Hoeven provides that future immigrants in the "merit-based, non-immigrant" category who illegally overstay their visas will automatically be legalized. Nice work, guys.
The immigration battle has come to closely resemble what we went through a few months ago with respect to firearms. There has been enormous public attention fixed on the Senate, but why? As it turned out, the administration's gun bill couldn't even get through the Senate, but it would have been dead on arrival in the House in any event. The whole thing was a charade intended to fire up the Democrats' base for 2014.
On paper, that should be true here too. Why on Earth would the Republican House pass an immigration bill that provides for thirty to sixty million new immigrants over the next ten years, 90% of them low-skill, low-wage, likely welfare-dependent at least in part, and overwhelmingly likely to vote Democratic? I don't suppose they will. But the difference between guns and immigration is that the anti-gun forces are well-organized and powerful, while the special interests are pretty much unanimously lined up behind the Gang of Eight's bill. Still, the polls show that the more voters know about the Gang's bill, the more they oppose it. And the Republican rank and file is overwhelmingly opposed to Gang-style immigration "reform."
So there is no reason why House Republicans should panic. If they pass anything, it should be a revamp of our legal immigration system, which was designed largely by Ted Kennedy and is badly in need of a pro-America overhaul. Photocopying Canada's immigration laws would be a good place to start. Then, as with guns and other issues, the battle will be fought in 2014. Everything the Democrats are doing–they make this clear in their emails to the party's faithful–is geared to taking back the House next year, so that the last two years of Obama's term can be "productive," that is to say, disastrous for America. It is up to us to stop them.

Week 13: Final Jersey Voting/
Well this is really it. The final polls of the IceHL's 13 Weeks of R&R project. We've come a long way since April and now it's time to pick the winning jersey designs for our rebranded teams. Based on their percentage of positive ratings, a few designs for each team have moved on to this final round. The number varies from team to team.
Results remain hidden until polls close. Winners announced Sat., July 13.
The Calgary Stallions were not included here because the rating period determined that Bastian Schmülling's original design will remain in use. It was the only one to receive overall positive feedback.
You may also notice certain designs have been included in the above polls despite poor ratings. Let's call those executive decisions. As the commissioner of the IceHL, sometimes I feel the need to interject a little bit. But I've always said I won't substitute my judgment for yours. Just giving you some additional voting options here.
When the winners are announced on Saturday, this project will come to a close. So for the last time... happy voting!

Shania Twain's Supposed Stalker Interrupts Her Testimony in Court Again
Shania Twain testified in court yesterday against her alleged stalker, former doctor Giovanni (who goes by John) Palumbo, but the testimony didn't come without some drama. While Twain told her story via a video recording, Palumbo couldn't help but stand up and interrupt the singer as she spoke about her problems with the man.
Twain did admit to understanding the mentality behind Palumbo's behavior, but assured the court that she is still alarmed by his adamant attempts to contact and see her. Keep in mind that Palumbo has been in and out of psychiatric treatment for some time now.
"I'm torn emotionally because I have compassion for anybody who's reaching out in need — fans often do that … I feel very sad … and awkward having to go through these very personal matters with Mr. Palumbo because it's such an invasion of his privacy," the singer said (via E! Online). "I still have the fear and anxiety of being contacted in the future by Mr. Palumbo. And I do want it to stop. And as far as I know, this is the only way to go about that."
After Twain made these comments, things took a turn for the strange. As Twain recollected the large amounts of letters she has received from Palumbo, the supposed stalker stood up in the middle of her testimony and began to speak. "But I didn't know you received any of them — you understand?" he said in the courtroom. "It is very emotional for everybody," Palumbo continued. "Please understand I have emotions, very strong emotions."
Palumbo also said that the letters were meant to be "lighthearted," but Twain quickly countered his statement, saying the notes were actually very "scary and haunting."
This isn't the first time Palumbo has interrupted Twain as she testified in the case. A couple of days ago, the man told Twain, "Eilleen, you can trust me. I'm going to plead guilty." Eilleen is Shania Twain's birth name, making this case a whole lot creepier since the defendant is addressing her like she's an old friend or family member.
Palumbo is being charged with criminal harassment and three counts of breaking his restraining order by coming within 500 meters of the singer. Earlier this year, Palumbo was arrested at the Juno Awards in Canada after he got too close to Twain, and the alleged stalker also attended the funeral for Twain's grandmother and stopped by her family's cabin in Ontario on several occasions.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., May 11 (UPI) -- Actress Lindsay Lohan is threatening to leave the Betty Ford Center near Palm Springs, Calif., after doctors cut off her supply of Adderall, sources told TMZ.
Sources close to the "Mean Girls" actress said doctors at the rehabilitation facility determined she does not need the addictive drug to control attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Doctors rarely prescribe the drug to anyone over the age of 15 because there are numerous substitute medications that don't have the same addictive qualities, TMZ reported Saturday.
The sources said Lohan told her friends she can't stay at the Betty Ford Center and wants to move to another rehab facility that may not be so strict about her Adderall use.
Lohan checked into Betty Ford May 2 as part of a 90-day sentence for reckless driving. Lohan pleaded no contest to the charges in March and agreed to enter rehab, spend 18 months in psychotherapy and serve 30 days of community service.

Stocks gain back some of last week's loss
NEW YORK - The stock market staged a late-day rally Monday, helping push the Dow Jones industrial average higher for the first time in a week.
Investors had a couple pieces of positive news to get behind: a decent earnings report from Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) and the announcement of a rescue package for a struggling Portuguese bank.
However, investors remain cautious after last week's sell-off, which gave the Standard & Poor's 500 index its worst five-day period in more than two years.
"Everyone is double-checking their own portfolio after what happened last week," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago.
The Dow rose 75.91 points, or 0.5 percent, to end at 16,569.28. It's the first time the blue chip index has posted a gain since July 28.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 13.84 points, or 0.7 percent, to finish at 1,938.99 and the Nasdaq composite added 31.25 points, or 0.7 percent, closing at 4,383.89.
Berkshire Hathaway, the company run by Warren Buffett, helped give the market an early boost Monday.
The Omaha, Nebraska-based company reported late Friday a profit of $6.4 billion last quarter, helped by its insurance division Geico, which performed well above Wall Street's expectations. Berkshire's investment portfolio was also a big driver of profits. The company's Class B stock rose $3.89, or 3 percent, to $129.70, one of the biggest gain in the S&P 500.
Michael Kors (KORS) was the biggest decliner in the S&P 500, falling $4.82, or 6 percent, to $77.01. While the handbag and women's fashion company reported a rise in second quarter earnings, the company's profit margin shrank for the second consecutive quarter.
The news out of Portugal also helped the market.
Portugal's central bank said late Sunday it would shore up Banco Espirito Santo, one of the country's biggest financial institutions. Portugal's PSI 20 index rose 1 percent on the news.
Portugal's banking woes were one of many catalysts for last week's market sell-off. While Portugal's economy is small, strategists say the eurozone's economy is fragile enough that Portugal's woes could spread. Europe just exited its latest recession a year ago, while the U.S. emerged from its last recession in 2009.
The tensions between Europe and Russia, the eurozone's biggest trading partner, over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine only added to the problems facing the continent.
"These types of things are going to hurt the European economy, and it couldn't impact the region at a worse time," Ablin said.
Last week's market rout, where the S&P 500 fell nearly 3 percent in five days, remains front and center in investors' minds. It was the worst week for the index since June 2012. With Monday's gains, it was the Dow's third positive day in the last 10 sessions.
"There does appear to be a little caution in the markets," said Alpari analyst Craig Erlam. "Investors are a little concerned that the sell-off which started last week is not over and could lead to something much bigger."
Utility stocks were among the biggest decliners. Consolidated Edison (ED), PG&E (PCG) and Duke Energy (DUK) fell roughly 1 percent. The Dow Jones utility index, which includes 15 utility stocks, fell 1 percent.
Currency markets were flat. The dollar was steady at 102.56 yen and the euro held at $1.3422.
In energy, oil rose for the first day in a week. Benchmark U.S. crude oil rose 41 cents to $98.29 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was flat at 2.49 percent.

Adding to the industry-leading 8GB iNAND from SanDisk, this new iNAND packs double the storage capacity into a standard JEDEC 12x16mm package thanks to recent advances in multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash technology.
iNAND is designed for the latest mobile handsets, which feature a growing number of storage-intensive features including music players, digital cameras, and video recording, playback and GPS capabilities. By providing abundant storage for these features, in addition to high performance and reliability, iNAND helps to enable new and exciting mobile experiences for mobile handset users.
"As more and more applications and multimedia capabilities converge within sleeker mobile handsets, the need for high-capacity mobile storage increases substantially from year to year. The new 16GB iNAND is the ideal solution for accommodating mobile applications, operating system programs and premium content such as large quantities of music, photos and video," said Dan Inbar, vice president and general manager of the Mobile Handset Vendors division at SanDisk. "Featuring a standard package interface, the 16GB iNAND EFD is designed to be quickly integrated into various handset designs for both storage capacity scalability and a smooth migration to future products and functionalities, such as system boot."
iNAND devices adhere to JEDEC package and ball-out requirements, common throughout the industry, providing virtually "plug and play" integration and allowing them to be designed into mobile handsets quickly. Additionally, iNAND devices utilize the industry-leading and field-proven SD™ interface2.
iNAND 16GB is expected to be available for sampling to mobile handset vendors in Q2 2008, with iNAND 32GB slated for introduction in H2 2008.
In addition to the iNAND EFD, SanDisk also offers a broad range of removable storage solutions and SIM cards for consumers, mobile handset manufacturers and mobile network operators.

Shallow Tails Guide Service Knows What's 'Biting' in the Miami Flats
By Amy Lignor
For those who do not yet know, and those fishing enthusiasts—everything from light tackle to fly fishing—who want to go where the sun always shines in order to make that perfect catch, the fact is this: Miami plays home to the best flats fishing you can imagine. Those endless flats offer you the likes of bonefish, permit, tarpon and shark, giving you all the thrills of the 'hunt' while exploring the crystal clear waters of Biscayne Bay. An area, by the way, that is just a short distance from downtown Miami, making this literally a premier destination for everyone.
Shallow Tails Guide Service is a full-time flats and backcountry fishing guide/charter service based right in the center of all this beauty. The head of this amazing group goes by the name of Captain Raul Montoro, and he's been flats fishing in Miami for over thirty years. Being a native of the area, he brings his wealth of knowledge to every charter. He knows the workings of the tides and understands the ecosystem all around. He knows exactly how to turn a typical day on the water into one that 'lands' everything from seatrout to grouper to ladyfish and that big barracuda just waiting to be found. And for those who are not necessarily anglers, you are still provided with aquamarine waters lit up by a stunning horizon. From the sun to the sharks, everyone gets an incredible trip.
It is near impossible to find another flats fishing destination that affords unparalleled light tackle fishing within just ten miles of a major city – a city that just happens to be filled with all the fun spots a human can enjoy while on land. Now, of course, is the time to book a Miami Flats Fishing trip with the Captain because the winter fishing season which runs from January through March is the prime time to catch big bonefish as well as gag grouper and more. The colder weather does its' job by keeping algae from blooming, thus keeping the water perfectly clear and making it ideal for sight fishing. Migratory baitfish are drawn into the bay with the colder weather, allowing predatory species to feed aggressively. And when springtime hits (March-May), large schools of bonefish and tarpon appear in the Miami waters stirring up even more excitement for the avid angler.
The locations are varied and amazing. The Biscayne Bay area flats, lagoons, and mangroves are stunning. But if the trophy bonefish are not on the feed, the bay is not the only place you can choose. When it comes to booking with Shallow Tails, you can choose to travel from the bay to the Flamingo Everglades to the Florida Keys to Islamorada. During the peak of tarpon season, Islamorada is the place to intercept the giant tarpon on their migratory journey. If it is time for snook, then heading to the backcountry mangroves of Flamingo Everglades National Park, where trophy snook lie in wait to ambush baitfish, is where the Captain will head. If the fishing is best in the Keys, then prowling the flats there will be the spot to choose. Every single one of these areas are offered to make your trip the 'one to remember.'
Whether it be a family trip you are planning for or the best work-related/corporate event you can think of, Shallow Tails Guide Service provides not only Florida fishing licenses but also bait, tackle that runs the gambit of fly fishing gear to light tackle spinning gear, and even artificial lures and bait.
Many guided trips are available: From Full Day trips (Running 8 Hours at $700.00) in Biscayne Bay, Flamingo Everglades National Park, Tarpon Fishing in Biscayne Bay, as well as the Florida Keys/Islamorada. You can also book Half Day excursions that even include night tarpon fishing adventures. From three-day to five-day to seven-day packages, anglers, friends, family, and even children are welcome on the water!
Want to book a one or two boat trip; or, perhaps, the multi-boats needed for your next corporate event? Then it is time to head to Shallow Tails and get exactly what you're looking for.
Fishing reports, guides, prices, a video gallery and the latest news on the Miami fishing scene can be found at http://www.shallowtails.com/.

Artist's description:
This painting is from the cycle "Relations", which arose from my interest in interpersonal relations. In nowadays society in which communication lacks, virtual reality and alienation are especially attractive topics, artists find their interests in. I explore this phenomenon by putting my figures in spotlight of public events. This is the way I want to provoke the initial idea: how honest actually are we with ourselves and others, are we ready and strong to be ours risking not to be accepted or are we all playing an old and well rehearsed game? I paint in oil on canvas medium. My paintings are usually large dimensions because I want to make stronger interaction with models on the painting with spectators and between models on the painting itself. My work usually represent group portraits of, as I would say, not accepted and lonely people, who, trying to solve that problem and get out of alienation, usually choose insincere and wrong paths for themselves

CLEVELAND: Christian Benteke scored two goals in the second half and Marouane Fellaini had another, leading Belgium to a 4-2 thrashing of the United States on Wednesday night in an international friendly the Americans hoped would get them ready for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Boasting a strong roster with 10 players from the English Premier League, Belgium broke a 1-1 tie with three goals in the second half. It overpowered a U.S. team that has some work to do on defense before it can even think about making the field for next summer�s World Cup in Brazil.
Benteke, who plays for Aston Villa, scored in the 56th and 71st minutes for Belgium, ranked 15th in the world and considered a rising European power.
Geoff Cameron scored in the 22nd minute and Clint Dempsey pounded in a penalty kick in the 80th minute for the U.S.
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann figured Belgium would provide a stiff challenge for his evolving team, and although the Americans had some nice moments, the Belgians controlled the game from the outset.
Belgium took advantage of poor defense to score three of its goals.
With the score 1-1 in the 56th minute, a turnover by American midfielder Brad Davis was compounded by defender Omar Gonzalez�s failure to clear the ball in front of the net. Gonzalez could have easily booted it over the touch or end line, but instead left the ball for Belgium�s Kevin De Bruyne. He centered it to Benteke for an easy tap-in past goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who replaced Tim Howard in the second half.
Guzan came up with a nice save in the 64th minute, but seconds later he was fishing the ball from his net again. Fellaini, known as much for his puffy hairdo as his skills, headed his goal into the left corner off a beautiful cross by De Bruyne to make it 3-1.
In the 71st minute, Benteke streaked behind defenders DaMarcus Beasley and Matt Besler and chipped in a pass from Steven Defour.
The U.S. later cut the deficit in half when referee Jeffery Solis awarded a penalty kick after calling Toby Alderweireld for a questionable hand ball in the box.
Earlier, while being outplayed and unable to get off a shot, the U.S. tied it 1-1 in the 22nd minute on Cameron�s first international goal.
Graham Zusi sent an effective short corner kick across the goal mouth to Dempsey posted on the right side. The U.S. captain alertly headed it back over Belgium�s defense to Cameron, who jumped and headed it past keeper Simon Mignolet.
Howard was tested a few more times in the first half as Belgium mounted several scoring threats and outshot the Americans 5-1 in the first 45 minutes.
The Americans also caught two fortunate breaks in the opening half.
In the 26th minute, speedy Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku�s goal was waved off by an offside call. However, TV replays appeared to show Lukaku was onside.
Also, Beasley, playing in his 100th international game, might have gotten away with a hand ball when he blocked a pass inside the box.
A breakdown by the U.S. defense allowed Belgium to take a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute. De Bruyne played a through ball to speedy Lukaku, who got behind Gonzalez. Lukaku got off a quick shot from the left side that was smothered by Howard, who was unable to control the rebound, and Kevin Mirallas,
Howard�s teammate at Everton, scored on a nice chip into the empty net.
The early deficit gave Klinsmann a chance to see how his team would react, and for the most part, the Americans responded in the first half before being outscored 3-1 in the second half.
The announced attendance was 27,720.

BERLIN (AP) Germany's Social Democrats have approved formal coalition talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives in order to form a new government.
The negotiations between the country's two biggest parties will begin on Wednesday.
Merkel's conservatives won a Sept. 22 parliamentary election, but their last coalition partner, the Free Democrats, lost all seats. Short of an absolute majority, Merkel's party reached out to its traditional center-left rivals for a new partner.
The German news agency dpa said the Social Democrats approved coalition talks at a party convention in Berlin on Sunday, but said its conditions include a demand for the country's first mandatory minimum wage something many conservatives oppose.
Merkel led a coalition with the Social Democrats in her first term, from 2005 to 2009.

let the kids use internet to find an example
Possible sentences is a pre-reading vocabulary strategy that activates students' prior knowledge about content area vocabulary and concepts. Before reading, students are provided a short list of vocabulary words from their reading. Students create, based on their prediction of what the reading will be about, a meaningful sentence for each vocabulary word or concept. After reading, students check to see if their "possible sentences" were accurate or need revising.

The tween-minded zombie romance "Warm Bodies" pulls a comic-romantic twist on a genre better known for its entrails. It is narrated by the undead fellow known as R, played by Nicholas Hoult, soon to be slaying giants in "Jack the Giant Slayer."
The voice-over narration confirms our hero's sensitive side. "I just want to connect," he tells us, accompanying footage of R stumbling around an abandoned airport on an ordinary undead day, among his fellow zombies in a post-apocalyptic landscape. R covets his long-playing records (actual vinyl!), and like the title character in "Wall-E," he's a collector and a nostalgist by nature. All he needs is love.
The film, written and directed by Jonathan Levine, comes from Isaac Marion's novel, and its rules of zombie life and lifelessness are pretty clear. By eating human brains, zombies can experience that victim's memories. More pertinent to the narrative, which riffs on "Romeo and Juliet" to the point of including a balcony scene, in "Warm Bodies" the zombie state is not permanent. It's reversible. If you're in love with a young woman (Teresa Palmer) who is not yet dead, this is promising news.
Palmer's character, Julie, is the overprotected daughter of General Grigio, leader of the movement to keep the zombies at bay on the other side of the quarantine wall. (What's up with that character name? Is he a crew chief at Trader Joe's?) Julie and R have their own little "meet-cute" according to rom-com requirements: While hunting for zombies with her boyfriend and some other pretty people, Julie is saved from being eaten by R. The pale young man's heartstrings go zing! when he spies her lovely loveliness. Her dawning interest in decaying nerds with poetry in their souls sparks a revolution.
We're a long way from the manic, repulsive, jolly slapstick of "Zombieland." This is more like a sensitively bent version of a Nicholas Sparks novel, where lovers must overcome significant social obstacles before moving on to the bed. At one point we hear R remind himself: "Don't be creepy ... don't be creepy," as he tries to pass for human among actual humans. Hoult has a nice, sympathetic quality at such moments, though the whole of "Warm Bodies," in both its comic and dramatic strains, lacks a certain ... what? Ooomph? Intensity? Invention?
Levine has a strong instinct as a packager of moments, ladling on the alt-rock just so before ladling on another ladle's worth. So far he's proven himself wildly uneven, careening from the smugness of "The Wackness" to the heartening success of "50/50." "Warm Bodies" lands somewhere between the two. Rob Corddry, as one of R's undead pals, quietly steals the show in his first wholly effective screen turn. Usually, Corddry gives audiences too much, playing the boor. Here, he may be zombiefied, but he warms to the underplaying opportunity at hand.
'Warm Bodies' -- 2 1/2 stars
MPAA rating: PG-13 (for zombie violence and some language)
Running time: 1:37
Opens: Friday

I originally designed all of these charms/ornaments to go over a bottle of wine as a house warming gift for friends and family but my clients have hung these in their windows, off their cabinets and on their Christmas trees. Not meant to be used just for the Holidays, these are perfect for displaying all year. They also make a perfect Thank You gift.
Each one is clear coated and a string is attached so they are ready to hang.

I am trying to achieve the following. If I have a file, e.g. a tex document and I want to have the following with commenting characters (% symbols) highlighted:
Some text and end of the sentence.
Some more text.
I already know how to highlight commented lines, but that is not exactly what I want.
Also, I can achieve the desired effect if I just search for the % symbol, but I am too lazy to do that every time after I search anything else.
I also would like to have a config so that in other languages I would have the same (e.g. -- symbols for lua, or # symbol for bash)
Does anybody know how to do that elegantly in my .vimrc file?
