I don't think Megatron would help the BETA. To me he might make humanity his slaves due to their intelligence and considering the BETA are mindless drones and some of his minions aren't that bright.
This might lead to an Enemy Mine with him and Optimus (Megatron wants smart, productive slaves, Optimus wants to save humanity.)

Even if the "Extraterrestrial Being"is a human(from crossover-verse),I still doubt UN wouldn't let him go without asking him A TONS OF QUESTIONS,And even then I doubt they would let him go either.

Incidentally since most of the cars they're based on probably won't exist on ML Earth, what Alt forms will they take as disguises? Rocking around in their Cybertonian Alt forms is a surefire way to elicit a response from an A-10 Squadron.
How will the transformers fight the BETA? M
On another note, is it okay if I post some stuff relating to my fanfics here(authors notes, world building stuff, etc…)? AMT seems to be doing it, but I'm much more long winded them him. My 'notes' might end up taking 1000+ words or so.

Regards the past-present, I'd actually not really noticed that at all
As for style of the fic, an experiment I'm doing is that while the narration is past tense, the action is present tense. Sorta like trying to combine someone narrating the past, interposed with flashbacks... I guess it didn't really work?
I'll take this all into account for the next installment. Once again, thanks!

About the availability of fancy cars...well...
There's always America...Now this suddenly became a fridge brilliance because the only place that have a lots of cars and trucks IS AMERICA(the continent). Mostly because other country put their resource in making TSF.And considering USA is the most influential country in Muvluvverse(for being rich). The Decepticons will attempt to control it from within,and may have already did that for centuries(Most emphasis on "Robot in Disguise").That will make the first contact goes even more rough due to the fact it's not the first time...
Anyway,I don't think any transformer would want to have their alt form as TSF,the yo dawg meter is too high.
Besides that,transformers ARE supposed to be so freaking high tech the only things that can damage a transformers is another transformers(And REALLY BIG GUNS,WITH PLURAL).The Bayformers are made of glass.The REAL transformers are made of adamantium.Unless the laser classes have enough intelligent to focus fire on a single target for several seconds,transformers are immune to laser.
But,in the end,it's still depended on which canon the writer is going to use.

I did a bit of experimentation with trying to do a version of the scene that kept the present tense but started off differently. Here's the intro (I actually got a bit carried away and tried rewriting the whole scene, but for now I'm just going to go with this. If you want I can try to post more though):

Having the lotsa commas in Ray's little flyby was an attempt to replicate a storytelling style I'd seen, where the narrator speaks fast and urgently. I guess it didn't really work here - or rather, because I could "hear" it, I overlooked how that style felt as read. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah, rereading John and Adrian's conversation, the tense is all over the place. I'm really not sure what the hell I was doing here I think I had a vague idea of the flight being a sorta past tense rememberance, while the conversation with Adrian was in the immediate present, but my tenses got all screwed up. I'll need to fix that.
Or maybe it was the couple years I spent studying law and writing out my arguments in a detached manner. I'll need to rework this a bit more, I think.
And again, I'm grateful for your efforts in helping.

Since you asked though, here's my attempt at reworking that scene using a different approach from the one you did. I've made some further edits since last night because there were some things I wasn't satisfied with previously.
The change in perspective at the beginning seems to have had the consequence of making me take a narrower perspective later in the scene as well (specifically the part where John saves Ray). That might not be a good match for how you want to portray things.
Also, one recommendation I've come across is to be consistent about Tense. Part of the problem I had with your use of Present Tense may have been because if came after you'd begun the chapter in Past Tense and I didn't have time to get used to it. Its hard to say for sure whether that's the case with this small a sample though.

Location: take a guess?
all this discussion totaly reminded me of this epic but dead japanese muvluv fanfic. i mentioned it before i believe. The fic in question is called Muvluv: to the end of the galaxy.
It crosses muvluv unlimited+TDA with Post SRW Alpha3 Cobray route. The story begins immediately post final mission true end in @3 after fighting off Keisar Ephes. when The alpha numbers attempted to jump back to their original time-line with the power of Irui/Nashim Guneden and Ideon that they got sent to the Muvluv unlimited TDA verse instead because of 00 unit and Kasumi's psychic echos called out to the Ide . Also this version of the Alpha numbers got hammered pretty good by Kaiser Ephes in the final boss fight of Alpha 3, and some Supers and reals robot are no longer serviceable for the time being. So almost all units are damaged to some degree and running low on ammo after the Keisar ephes fight. Of course many of these repairs and resupply will be difficult or straight up impossible to acquire in muluv earth. Basically the author brings "real-world" logistics and physics into srw(certain units can't fit into certain ships, units scale affect the battle- humongous super robots are easy targets for laser class.certain weapons/mechanic that can't operate under earth gravity, feasibility of rare and exotic ammunition and etc) to reduce the OPness of the SRW crew and also the BETA themselves eventually develop new tactics with existing BETA strains in an attempt to counter the new threat.
For the MLU side, its after the evacuation of the colony ships but before the global G-bombing phase of op Babylon. Takeru gets meiya's 00R repainted in black. the valkyries and 207 are around but disbanded and spread out all over the world. Marimo is back to being a major in the IJA and eventually gets her own battalion as a major with the UN curiously named "Wardog" which features all marimo's hand picked pilots from all over the world and will get many members who we are familiar with from the various TDA and chronicle side stories. Also this isn't Muvluv without political power play and back stabbings so the Americans and Alt 5 supporters are scheming something huge with the the arrival of the alpha numbers. The fact that the Alpha numbers possessed a 70km(Eltreum from gunbuster) battleship and the better part a space fairing colony fleet(Macross seven) not withstanding, The biggest political shock seems to be the fact that the Alpha numbers apart from having its fair share of Alien crew members and many human hybrids. America is of course pressuring the UN to Sanction and ban many aspects and impose restrictions on the Alpha number's Rules of engagement and the attempts at manipulating the alpha numbers in the name of self interests are quite rampant and obvious. So of course half of the Alpha numbers being Super robot pilots are shocked and appalled at the lack of unity the world is showing in the face of extinction and all the signs of people in power being corrupted and greedy while the common soldiers fighting for the survival of mankind gets shafted from every way since Sunday.
Also the running gag of yuuko destroying her office in rage like 18 times from just even trying to understand the various bullshit workings and energy source of the various SRW units. The real type she could somewhat understand and rationalize their theory such as minovosky particles, the creation of Gundanium Alloy and Phase shift Armor or even the advanced sentient AI of the GaoGaiGar 's not!transformer robots, but stuff like the Ide, Getter ray, J-jewel/G-stone, AT Field, EOT(extra over technology), Tetragrammaton or any other Super-Robot Not!Magictek science that the alpha number felt safe to reveal to the her and/or the rest of the UN is driving yuuko insane. Seeing the kilometer long Battle 7 transforming from a battleship to a Giant robot was bad enough, but seeing the way certain super robots fight was just too much for yukko's analytical mind.The more she finds out the more she want to blow her own brains out, God only know what will happen when she finds out about the "god" machine Nashim/Irui guneden that's being stored on board the Eltreum.
Of note is that Cobray and Dis Astragant(being the resident Time-line police since Ingram is now truly dead/merged with Cobray) choose to TIME DIVE into extra to investigate a space time anomaly he detected which turned out to be Alt-verse Takeru before following takeru into canon Alternative to observe the life of the Bratty Savior and the cause of the Space time anomaly (remember this story takes place in Unlimited pre TDA).
As for the mech side of things the author generally have the UC era gundams do good against the BETA until they run out of E-packs on their beam rifle, or when their head vulcans run out of ammo and they get swarmed by Tank classes. Seed CE era Phase-shift can survive the tanks quite well provided their batteries last. I-field are somewhat weak against lasers since BETA lasers are not Minovsky particle based beams. after colony wing series Gundams can survive the lasers class for a bit due to the insane heat resistance of the Gundanium alloy it helps that their pilots are all god tier experts in hit and run. Macross Valkyries do well in there Gerwalk mode since they all have unlimited flight time plus unrivaled 3 dimensional maneuverability in tight spaces allowing them to hover over the BETAs and dance all over the place. Evangelions are pretty godlike against the BETA clasees with their AT-fields but if exposed in the open where thousands of Magnus LUX lasers can target them, then their AT-fields will collapse just like when the evas fought Ramiel.
Orginal generation units like the R-series and other OG original units also do pretty good in close quarters due to all of them using tesla-drives and T-link systems and other various EOT Balmarian tech that lets them maneuver without obeying the laws of momentum and conservation of energy.
Also "Real men ride each other"= BETA pwnage. Zankantou that cleaves evil and Trombe over ride, I ain't gonna explain shit.
Totally recommend any one who can read Japanese or Chinese to go read it. Also feature SRW styled route split of Earth Route and Mars Route( more destructive supers and some reals are on mars route, Reals and some other supers are going to earth to support the UN war effort). Shout outs a plenty : why does the takemizaduchi look like that giant purple monstrosity(most in universe response when seeing the EVA unit 1 for the first time)? Why does "that" gundam remind people of meiya's hair? Getter performing the Unpossible. Irui and Kasumi playing with STRING. and many others.
There is just so much shit in this fic its ridiculous. sadly its in Japanese, though someone did translated into Chinese as well.
the following is the translated teaser i did using various quotes from the Fic for /m awhile ago. see if you can guess who is saying what.
original Jap ver.

In terms of combat endurance, however, and close quarters combat, TSFs hold the edge.

Another reason I see that it appears TSFs are completely outgunned by VFs at face value is that most Valkyrie models have years of weapons development on third gen TSFs like the Raptor. Keep in mind that the VF-1 Valkyrie only first went into combat in Feb 2009, eight years after the introduction of the F-22A Raptor in the Muv Luv world. I feel that a better comparison would be between an F-22A and the VF-0 Phoenix (2005) which, despite being a developmental machine and inferior to the SV-51, is probably a better match technology wise since it uses conventional turbofans.
Long story short, it is very unfair to the TSFs if you stuck the YF-19 and a F-22A EMD the in a ring and told Isamu and Leon to punch each other. Sure the YF-19 may be an expy of the YF-22, but one's from 2040 and the other is from 2001, so you can't really say that's a fair fight.
That and the Excalibur has one hell of a Haymaker that would seriously ruin the Raptor's day.

Back-to-School Shopping Goes Green
Tap into eco-friendly school supplies for your student this fall. Taking a green approach to back-to-school shopping might help save some trees and teach your kids about the environment. To fill your school-supply shopping cart without filling a landfill, try these green shopping strategies:
There's nothing as green as reusing. Does everyone in the household really need a new backpack, lunchbox, binders, notebooks, and thermos? Probably not. If it's still in good shape, use it again.
Avoid PVC. Not all backpacks are going to survive two years in one active kid's possession. If you do need to replace what you've got, look for something made of the best eco-friendly materials. PVC and vinyl are particularly bad offenders that are commonly found in backpacks, binders, and anything with colorful coating (like novelty paperclips). Look for tags that say PVC-free.
Plastic-free lunches that come back for more. Feeling bad about all those plastic baggies in the lunchbox? Reusable lunch containers sound like a green idea, right? Well . . . maybe. Make sure that you are find BPA-free storage containers, which often means avoiding plastic altogether. Look for fun, new possibilities like washable fabric sandwich bags.
Don't forget the little guys. Can you believe that 1.6 million plastic pens go to landfills every single year in the United States? Disposable items add up fast, even when they're small. And it's still hard to find fully recycled notebooks, although they're out there. It may make sense to buy something more expensive but reusable (like a metal, refillable pen) or to spend a little extra to get biodegradable or fully recycled items.
Get rid of it — the right way. Some things can't keep going year after year. If you're lucky, it can go in the recycling bin. If not, there may still be ways to be green with the trash. Those non-biodegradable pens? There's a man collecting them for a found-art project that teaches about bio-responsibility. Unexpected recycling opportunities include tennis shoes, Crocs, flip-flops, batteries, damaged CDs, old VHS tapes, empty ink cartridges and even bottle caps.
Get the kids involved. Do your green strategies turn your kids into little green monsters? Try rewarding their cooperation with "green points" that they can trade in for things they like. Keeping last year's backpack might earn them ten points, while remembering to turn off the light could earn them two more. Have them help make a reward chart for things they love (movie night for fifty green points, for example).
Make it a school fund-raising project. Get the whole school involved by collecting recyclable items that can be exchanged for money. Organizations like Terracycle and EcoPhones provide options for a fundraiser that takes away unwanted items (instead of selling them!) and brings in money for the school.

Lyndsay Cole (970) 494-7410
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2011--As part of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack's commitment to transform the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) into a customer-focused, high-performing organization, USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has unveiled plans to dramatically decrease the time it takes for certain programmatic processes and procedures. These improvements, which could achieve reductions in various agency processing times ranging from 20 to 76 percent, will expedite and improve the delivery of their products and services and reinforce the Secretary's dedication to achieving results.
"APHIS approached this effort with the American people's best interests in mind," said Gregory Parham, APHIS administrator. "We listened to our customers and committed to making serious changes that help to put our customers first and deliver services not only efficiently and effectively, but also as cost effectively and quickly as possible."
APHIS began this forward-thinking review process in August 2010, by analyzing and documenting current external and internal processes to determine where improvements could be made, and working hard to develop streamlined solutions. Throughout the year, APHIS specifically focused on making improvements to the following processes:
To analyze and document current processes, determine where improvements could be made, and develop streamlined solutions, APHIS used a variety of formal models, especially Lean Six Sigma--a widely used business process improvement strategy that uses specific proven tools to analyze and identify efficiencies, implement them, and measure the results.
"We believe that it is possible to be both regulatory and business minded at the same time, while actually improving our transparency, accountability and the predictability of our processes," said Parham. "And APHIS will be providing our customers with valuable savings, something much needed as companies have been increasingly challenged by today's economy."
APHIS expects to shorten the average time it takes for all the processes selected by between 20 and 76 percent, which will be directly felt by their customers. For instance, by streamlining its GE organism petition process by more than 50 percent, APHIS will reduce timelines down to 13-15 months. APHIS anticipates being able to reduce its veterinary biologics licensing processes by potentially 100 days--or a 20 percent reduction.
APHIS' process improvements are also part of the USDA Customer Service Plan, which identifies key departmental actions and initiatives aimed at improving the customer experience, modernizing and streamlining processes, reducing costs, accelerating delivery and using innovative technology to advance customer service. USDA developed this plan in support of the President's April 27, 2011, Executive Order 13571, on "Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer Service."

Sam May, BSc, LicAc, MFHT runs acupuncture clinics in Bristol (Clifton/Cotham), combining the practice of Five Element Acupuncture with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and auricular acupuncture. Sam also practices Tibetan Massage and teaches Qi Gong and meditation in the Bristol area.
Five Element Acupuncture is a powerful method for healing body, mind and spirit through subtle energetic rebalancing. This form of acupuncture is documented in Chinese medical classics from as early as 200BC. In Five Element Acupuncture, diagnosis and treatment is based upon an understanding that each one of us has a core energetic imbalance predominantly relating to one of the five elements within us (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water). This imbalance influences our physical, mental and spiritual well-being, often manifesting in the form of sickness, ill-health and emotional or spiritual blockages. Energetic rebalancing at this deepest level can resolve a wide range of health issues as well as offering a greater sense of well-being.
"When one applies medical treatment, one must keep in mind first of all, the patient's spirit."
(quote from the Nei Jing, c.200BC)
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) refers to the form of acupuncture that is generally practiced in China today, systematised by the government in the 1940's during the Cultural Revolution and used in clinics and hospitals throughout China to treat a wide range of medical conditions.
Auricular Acupuncture is based on the concept that the ear is a microsystem representing the whole body, and is a relatively modern form of acupuncture treatment developed in Europe in the 20th century. It includes the NADA protocol which is now used and acknowledged widely in the treatment of all kinds of addictions, ranging from smoking and drug-use to eating and psychological disorders.
Whatever your reason for considering acupuncture, Sam offers a free 15-minute consultation, either by phone or at one of his Bristol acupuncture clinics, in which you can discuss your needs and get a better idea of whether acupuncture might be able to help you. If you would like to arrange a free consultation, please contact us. Sam also practices Tibetan Massage and teaches Qi Gong and meditation classes in the Bristol area.

Logitech G700s Review/
One of the names we never get tired of hearing about is Logitech. They company recently rebranded its hardcore gamer-pleasing G Series of gaming peripherals, and with that also its entire fleet of speciality gaming mice, headsets and keyboards. But today we're specifically going to be talking about the G700s, Logitech's new flagship wireless gaming mouse which has replaced the plain-looking G700 with a fresh coat of skin along with a few other enhancements, albeit minor.

Spring showers in blue and green this April for National Donate Life Month! The month-long annual observance honors those everyday heroes who say yes to organ, eye and tissue donation.
Support the power of donation by getting creative with blue and green.
Join me in drawing attention to the need for organ and tissue donors by wearing the blue and green colors of Donate Life for National Blue and Green Day on Friday, April 19. The initiative offers HOPE to the more than 117,500 Americans waiting for a life-saving transplant; HONORS the heroes of organ, eye and tissue donation; REMEMBERS those that died waiting for their second chance at life; and CELEBRATES the recipients who received the gift of life through transplantation.
Heroes aren't just the people who save lives by running into burning buildings. In April, we're honoring the quiet heroes of donation. We celebrate all registered donors this month who selflessly say yes to sharing the Gift of Life at the end of life.
Have you said yes? Make the choice to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor today. Just one donor has the potential to save eight lives through organ donation and enhance 50 more through tissue and cornea donation. You can register or learn more about Blue and Green Day by visiting www.lifelineofohio.org.
The more than 117,500 Americans – including 3,400 Ohioans – waiting for an organ transplant thank YOU this spring for spreading the message!

Adding to athlete Lance Armstrong's troubles, two readers are suing him and the publishers of his books, Penguin Group and Random House. The readers are pursuing a class action lawsuit because they say the athlete, Penguin, and Random House all committed fraud and false representation by touting Armstrong's memoirs as fact. The plaintiffs are Rob Stutzman, a public affairs adviser who worked with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jonathan Wheeler, a chef.
The complaint was filed on Jan. 22 in federal court in California, reading in part, "Throughout the book, Defendant Armstrong repeatedly denies that he ever used banned substances before or during his professional cycling career… [The books were bought] based upon the false belief that they were true and honest works of nonfiction when, in fact, Defendants knew or should have known that these books were works of fiction."
Stutzman and Wheeler are represented in court by California and New Jersey-based law firms.
Representation for Armstrong had no comment, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Penguin published Armstrong's memoir, "It's Not About the Bike," which was released in 2000. His book "Every Second Counts" was published by Random House in 2003.
The literary world saw a somewhat similar case when writer Greg Mortenson was sued for fabrications in his memoir, "Three Cups of Tea," which detailed his work building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. When significant pieces of Mortenson's story were discovered to be untrue, four readers sued Mortenson, his co-author David Oliver Relin, Mortenson's school-building organization, and his publisher Penguin Group. However, the federal judge who took on the case in Montana dismissed the lawsuit.
"The imprecise, in part flimsy, and speculative nature of the claims and theories advanced underscore the necessary conclusion that further amendment [of the complaint] would be futile," US District Judge Sam Haddon said.

Whether in sedan or Avant wagon guise, the Audi S4 is the mid-sized luxury car you buy when you want something fast and brimming with technology, but dont want to shout about it.
Thats the corporate line, anyway. But as our time behind the wheel on the Australian launch earlier this week showed us, it fits the car like a sports jacket and designer frames.

You need to get rid of the flashing it's pretty annoying im just being honest, your gameplay is usually good you just need to tone down the effects. Also what are you using to record, is the video slowed down alittle it still looks kinda slow like your last one. Depending what program you are using I can show you some good render settings if you like.
Well to each his own I guess, just trying different stuff, get tired of looking at raw footage all the time.. Use Fraps to record not sure what settings youd like to share there lol but there isnt many. Then I usually dump the raw footage into after effect cs5 and render it out pretty much raw. Finally run it through WMM to quickly convert it to decent sized wmv for youtube. Ive been considering switching to using quicktime format, tho I doubt there would be much quality diff. All render settings are for high def 1080 tho obviously everything but the intros are stepped up. Gonna try stepping up my game resolution for the next vid, tho it may cause the game to be unplayable..Originally Posted by SilentRunner
Try this when you finish your video. press composition at the top then add to render queue. Set render settings to best settings then for output module choose windows media, then go into format options and set the image quality and bitrate to max. finally make sure the bitrate mode is constant and in audiences make sure it's set to compressed. You should get really nice quality and pretty small filesize. Also have you ever used sony vegas at all? I know some people hate the program but I like it.Originally Posted by maniac08
Lol not a bad idea, it would save a step I guess, tho Ive always wondered at after effects ability to make a better wmv than WMM.
...the video was good...however it looked a bit fuzzy....er, not as sharp as it should have been. Nice work none the less!
Give it a try and see if it makes a difference. My videos aren't perfect either still trying to make them look better on youtube.Originally Posted by maniac08
not as sharp as it should have been. Nice work none the less!

ACrisis club Aston Villa alarmingly dropped deeper into a Premier League relegation battle with another abject performance against Wigan.
The visitors, meanwhile, moved out of the bottom three with a conclusive victory to record their first win in seven matches which highlighted Villa's dramatic shortcomings.
Villa, watched by club owner Randy Lerner, never recovered from a disastrous start when Ivan Ramis gave the Latics a morale-boosting lead after only three minutes.
Two goals in the space of four minutes early in the second half from Emmerson Boyce and Arouna Kone sealed Villa's fate as their confidence visibly evaporated.
In the continued absence of such players as Darren Bent, Richard Dunne, Gabriel Agbonlahor, Charles N'Zogbia and Nathan Baker, the options open to under-pressure manager Paul Lambert are very limited as illustrated in this latest defeat.
Just how much a lightweight Villa are missing the commanding presence of Dunne was highlighted as early as the third minute when Wigan took a shock lead.
Villa's inability to defend set-pieces was blatantly exposed in the third minute after the ball ran out for a corner as Matthew Lowton appeared to handle.
Jean Beausejour's accurate corner was perfectly placed for the unmarked Ivan Ramis to mark his return to action after missing six games with a powerful header past the transfixed Brad Guzan.
It was the 13th goal conceded by Guzan and Villa in three games and once again gave the West Midlands club a steep hill to climb.
Penalty decisions have gone against Wigan this season and on this occasion they were again out of favour when Stephen Ireland appeared to foul Shaun Maloney.
Seconds later Maloney had a wild shot from the edge of the area with a gaping goal at his mercy when Villa were again on the wrong foot.
Villa battled hard to retrieve the situation but they lacked a cutting edge.
Christian Benteke was extremely subdued and it was left to the industrious Andress Weimann to pressurise Wigan's defence in which Ramis and skipper Gary Caldwell were rock solid.
Pulling the strings for the visitors was Shaun Maloney. The Scottish international formerly played for Villa but was allowed to return north of the border because he was homesick, before joining Wigan last year.
Benteke finally found a route through Wigan's defence in the 36th minute with a rasping shot only for the goal to be disallowed with Weimann in an offside position.
After Emmerson Boyce and Maloney were booked for reckless tackles Villa's best chance of an equaliser fell to Brett Holman two minutes before the break when the Australian grazed the crossbar with an angled shot.
All these efforts in search of an equaliser were to no avail as seven minutes into the second half Wigan consolidated their lead.
Boyce raced through despite the attention of three Villa defenders and took a return pass from Arouna Kone to fire his low shot past Guzan.
In the 56th minute Kone himself got in on the goalscoring as he took a through pass from Di Santo as he sliced his way through Villa's dithering defence to score from a tight angle despite a challenge from Guzan.
Villa made a triple substitution sending on El Ahmadi, Bowery and Albrighton for Ireland, Holman and Lichaj.
The changes resulted in more attacking play but the damage had been done as Wigan were content to absorb the pressure.

Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins gain a grip on hunt for playoffs
As controversy from BullyGate swirls around them, Dolphins players also find themselves immersed in a playoff race.
The Dolphins awoke Monday tied for the AFC's final playoff spot with the Jets, who own the tiebreaker at the moment because of a superior division record.
But here's the bottom line: The Dolphins and Jets are the only teams that control their paths in the battle for the AFC's second wild card spot. The teams, both 5-5, meet Dec. 1 in New Jersey and Dec. 29 in Miami to close the season.
"We've got a chance and that's all you want," defensive tackle Jared Odrick said.
Of the six AFC teams that are 4-6 (Baltimore, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Cleveland, Oakland and Tennessee), the Ravens and Steelers would seem to be the greatest threats to Miami.
The Dolphins own head-to-head tiebreakers against the Chargers and Browns, and the Titans — who are without starting quarterback Jake Locker for the rest of the season — face three consecutive road games (Oakland, Indianapolis, Denver).
Oakland has a difficult schedule (including road games at Dallas, San Diego and the Jets) and home against Kansas City and Denver.
The Ravens hold the tiebreaker against Miami based on their win against the Dolphins, and the Dolphins and Steelers meet Dec. 8 in Pittsburgh.
Though the Jets are tied with the Dolphins, they're reeling from a 37-14 drubbing at Buffalo and have been outscored by 85 points this season. The Dolphins, conversely, have been outscored by just 12 points.
"We're not going to be a playoff team until they say we're in the playoffs," Jets guard Willie Colon said. "Right now, we just lost to the [expletive] Bills."
Here are the remaining schedules for the Dolphins, Jets, Ravens and Steelers:
• Dolphins: Carolina, at Jets, at Steelers, Patriots, at Bills, Jets.
• Jets: at Baltimore, Dolphins, Oakland, at Carolina, Cleveland, Miami.
• Ravens: Jets, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, at Detroit, New England, at Cincinnati.
• Steelers: at Cleveland, at Baltimore, Miami, Cincinnati, at Green Bay, Cleveland.
Positive signs
Meanwhile, several positives emerged from Sunday's 20-16 win against San Diego. Among them:
• The running game, held to a franchise-low 2 yards against Tampa Bay, generated 104 on 5.5 per carry.
Offensive coordinator Mike Sherman said this is the best he has seen from Daniel Thomas in producing yards after contact. Thomas had 57 yards on 10 carries.
• Though the Dolphins allowed four sacks, the offensive line played well considering the unit was without three starters — Mike Pouncey, Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin.
"They hung in there," coach Joe Philbin said. "Didn't have a lot of mental mistakes."
Undrafted rookie Sam Brenner started at left guard and played 61 of the Dolphins' 66 offensive snaps. Why did Brenner get the start over veteran Danny Watkins and third-round pick Dallas Thomas?
"We've been keeping our eye on Sam," Philbin said. "Thomas has been getting most of his work at tackle. Brenner gets the vast majority of his reps at guard. He has been progressing very well."
Nate Garner played well at center in place of Pouncey, who missed the game reportedly because of a gall bladder illness. "We're very fortunate to have a guy like Nate Garner," Philbin said.
Also key: Right tackle Tyson Clabo has improved after a dreadful first two months. "His pass sets have been better," Philbin said.
• The Dolphins collected three fourth-quarter sacks (Jared Odrick, Cameron Wake, Olivier Vernon). And rookie Dion Jordan — who logged 22 snaps — generated two quarterback hurries and "did a very good job" covering Chargers tight end Antonio Gates a few times, defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle said.
One problem that cannot seem to be fixed, at least not yet, is Ryan Tannehill's inability to consistently connect with Mike Wallace on deep balls.
"We underthrew him on a touchdown pass that we can't do," Sherman said. "We needed those points."
On passes thrown at least 20 yards in the air, Tannehill has completed only 3 of the 16 intended for Wallace and 9 of 34 overall this season, including 0 for his past 6.
Sherman said Tannehill and Wallace have worked on deep balls after practice, and "we've got to get them on the same page. The two of them have to come to an understanding how that's going to work."
Though Wallace's numbers were modest Sunday (four catches for 39 yards), Sherman said: "Mike had a tremendous game. He ran his routes very disciplined. He was open on a number of occasions. Sometimes there were protection issues. He had a tremendous impact on the game because he changed how they played us."
Sherman said Wallace is still dealing with "a leg issue" — a hamstring specifically.

Attucks and the A.P. Exam
Today Boston 1775 salutes all the young scholars taking this year's Advanced Placement U.S. History exam—particularly those at the John D. O'Bryant School of Math and Science in Boston. Last month I had the honor of speaking to Matthew Kazlauskas's A.P. history classes there.
I talked about what we know—and don't know—about Crispus Attucks, based on various primary sources and recollections. I seized the opportunity to share this image; it's a detail from Paul Revere's engraving of the Boston Massacre, as reproduced on the poster that hangs on my office wall (purchased from the Old State House gift shop).
The black lines of an engraving are reproduced with a copperplate, but Revere or his artistic partner Christian Remick had to add all the solid blacks and colors by hand. That means every colored copy of this engraving is different. I therefore can't say that this copy is typical.
Nevertheless, I like to raise the question of whether it shows Attucks, who was usually labeled as a "mulatto" (and once as an "Indian"). This image shows a man with two symmetrical wounds in the chest—Attucks's wounds, as detailed in an autopsy. He has dark black hair and skin that looks slightly darker than that of surrounding figures. Did Revere and Remick actually depict Attucks as a person of color? Or is that just how the paper has aged?
At least one student smartly pointed out that in this engraving the man with the two chest wounds is the victim farthest from the soldiers' guns. Eyewitness testimony and an earlier image by Revere tell us that Attucks was struck down at the front of the crowd. So perhaps that figure wasn't meant to represent Attucks. Or perhaps the artists moved him back, acknowledging his presence but not making him so prominent.
Of course, Revere and Remick could have used their paints to produce different versions of the scene for different customers, or however they chose. As with so many other historical questions, we're unlikely to find any definite answers, but half the fun is in thinking through the questions.

You see an obsolete camera, I see a nightlight: Meet your San Francisco upcyclers
Sara Johnson | Photo: Meiko Takechi Arquillos | May 15, 2012
Making new stuff from old stuff now has a name—upcycling—and an army of ingenious practitioners. A rags-to-cashmere overview of the zeitgeistiest design trend around.
We're not sure exactly when the earnest, slightly scolding concept known as recycling morphed into the lighthearted, aesthetically exciting movement called upcycling. What we do know is that transforming the worn-out, the broken-down, the utterly useless into stuff that's high style and cool beyond the usual do-gooder/ DIYer demographic feels absolutely of the moment. It's fun, of course, testing the ingenuity and creative dexterity of established craftspeople and novices alike; even local fashion favorites like Martha Davis and Melissa Joy Manning are finding inspiration in the trash. Profitable, too: Thanks to places like Etsy, Kickstarter, and SoMa's TechShop San Francisco work space, it's never been easier to play around and earn some money besides. But the real appeal is socio-psychological. The making-do-with- what-we-have mindset that was so appropriate for the recession feels even more fitting now that significant swaths of the Bay Area are starting to boom again. Maybe that's because upcycling, in its small way, is a reaction against the soul-destroying decadence of recent periods. It's a reminder that things don't have to be the same again if we don't want them to be. They can get better.

You will visit the following 7 places:
Turkey is a huge nation straddling eastern Europe and western Asia with cultural connections to ancient Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. It offers a wealth of destination varieties to travellers; there is something for everyone's taste—whether they be travelling on an extreme budget by hitchhiking or by a multi-million yacht!
Croatia is an Eastern European country with a long coastline on the Adriatic Sea. Ranking the 18th most popular tourist destination in the world, Croatia is blessed with a wealth of natural riches, boasting almost 2000km of rocky, indented shore and more than a thousand islands, many blanketed in luxuriant vegetation. Even during the heavily visited months of July and August there are still enough off-the-beaten-track islands, quiet coves and stone-built fishing villages to make you feel as if you're visiting Europe at its most unspoiled.
Montenegro is a Balkan country with rugged mountains, medieval villages and a narrow strip of beaches along its Adriatic coastline. In 2007, the country received peak level of tourism which almost reached pre-war volumes. As a result, many roads have been renovated (reducing driving time) and many hotels have been constructed or renovated. A sovereign state in Southeastern Europe, Montenegro is a land exploding with colour.
Albania, officially known as the Republic of Albania, is a country in South Eastern Europe. It is bordered by Montenegro to the northwest, Kosovo to the northeast, the Republic of Macedonia to the east and Greece to the south and southeast. It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the west, and on the Ionian Sea to the southwest. It is less than 45 miles from Italy, across the Strait of Otranto which links the Adriatic Sea to the Ionian Sea. Albania is a member of the United Nations, NATO, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Council of Europe, World Trade Organisation, Organisation of the Islamic Conference and one of the founding members of the Union for the Mediterranean.
Austria is a German-speaking federal republic and a landlocked country of over 8.66 million people in Central Europe. It is characterized by its mountain villages, baroque city architecture, Imperial history and rugged alpine terrain. Vienna, its Danube River capital, is home to the Schonbrunn and Hofburg palaces, and has counted Mozart, Strauss and Sigmund Freud among its residents. The country's other notable regions include the northern Bohemian Forest, Lake Traun and eastern hillside vineyards.
Greece, also known since ancient times as Hellas, is a country located in southeastern Europe. The country has one of the longest histories of any country, and is considered the cradle of Western civilization, having been the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, Western literature, historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles, and Western drama, including both tragedy and comedy. Athens, its busy capital, retains ancient landmarks including the 5th-century-B.C.E. Acropolis citadel and Parthenon temple. Greece is also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos. Furthermore it's a geographically appealing place to visit, with a mountainous mainland and idyllic island beaches!

Opening Manifold Greatness with Theatrical Flair
The Manifold Greatness exhibition officially opened at Harford Community College (Bel Air, Maryland) on April 22, 2013, with a reception, a lecture, and theatrical readings.
Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religion Gary Owens lectured on "Catholicism, Protestantism, Blood, Guts, Ink and the King James Bible" to a room filled with community members, students, and faculty. Nearly every seat was taken.
In his lecture, Dr. Owens described in depth some of the earlier efforts to translate the Bible into English (and into other languages than Latin), as well as placing the work of translation in context and explaining the risks—and in many cases, the consequences—of this work. The bountiful and compelling slides that illustrated his narrative, as well as his lively presentation style, brought this history to life for all participants. The audience stayed well past the planned 75-minute lecture and discussion to ask questions and learn more about this history.
The reception was scheduled from 3 to 7 p.m. and attracted many viewers over the course of four hours. During the last hour of the reception, HCC Associate Professor of Theater Ben Fisler spoke about the explosion in the development of the English language that was taking place at the time that Shakespeare wrote and during the period of the translation of the King James Bible.
Two HCC students performed monologues from Much Ado About Nothing and Twelfth Night, and Mike Brown (in the person of the great Shakespearean actor, Junius Brutus Booth) gave a dramatic reading of Psalm 46 from the King James Bible.
The Booth family home, Tudor Hall, is located just a couple of miles from the college, and Tudor Hall is a partner in HCC's presentation of Manifold Greatness.
A more extended version of the readings and talk is scheduled for May 9 from 6 to 9 p.m., under the title 'A Great Feast of Languages': The Language of Shakespeare and of the King James Bible.
Carol Allen is the Library Director of Harford Community College in Bel Air, Maryland.

How Do Journalists Use Government Information?
Ever wonder how journalists find and use government information? On October 15, New York Times reporter Scott Shane (http://tinyurl.com/2nfugw) and Washington Post research editor Alice Crites, MLS (http://tinyurl.com/2mrybn) will address this question and related issues. Join us for a lively program sponsored jointly by ALA's Government Documents Roundtable (GODORT) and SLA's Government Information Division (DGI).
DATE: Monday, October 15 TIME: 7:00 p.m. PLACE: Crystal City Doubletree Hotel. Room - TBA www.doubletreecrystalcity.com

Introductory comments from ALA Annual 2007
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the Chair of GODORT. It is indeed an honor and I appreciate the trust that you have placed in me. As many of you already know if you read my nomination statement when I ran for Chair – and I hope that only a few of your are hearing this for the first time – I really intend for my tenure as Chair to be focused on positioning GODORT for the future. To that end I want to encourage all of you to think seriously about the type of organization we want GODORT to become in the next few years. The implementation of virtual membership, decreasing the number of meetings at annual 2008 (perhaps by relying more on e-mail and the GODORT Wiki in-between Midwinter and annual) and increasing the education and training opportunities for our members will be my priorities in the coming year. One very important effort that has just gotten underway is our Roundtable's strategic planning effort. The strategic planning process will be lead by Linda Johnson and Marianne Ryan and includes a mix of "old hands" and newer GODORT members who have been asked to focus on the needs of the organization and to help us improve our services and outreach efforts. As part of this process the Membership Committee will be sending out a survey to evaluate our services and mission. I know that many of us are bombarded with survey requests but I really want to encourage each of you to respond to this survey. It will help us to better prepare a plan for the future if we know with some degree of assuredness what our members value (or not) about GODORT. We will also be working with ALA to get the survey out to former members as well. Another challenge that I have asked Steering to consider is the question of virtual membership. I had several people ask me about this as an option when I approached them about serving in GODORT and it quickly became apparent that our organization must explore this opportunity for membership. I am calling on each Committee and Task Force Chair to communicate with your members about this so that by Mid-Winter we might be in a position to move forward on a plan to share with membership. Although you have been kind enough to elect me as your Chair I want to stress that I do not claim to be an expert on ALA or on the myriad of government information issues we will likely face in the coming year. I not only welcome in-put and guidance from the membership I will require it if we are to be effective. So please feel free to call on me if you have questions or just want to talk as I will certainly be calling on you. I am looking forward to a truly collaborative year. Bill Sleeman[1]
An excellent proposal for the future of government information can be found in Congressional Information & the Internet from the "Openhouse Project." [2]
This is a conversation that GODORT might want to be more involved in.
I wanted to let you all know that we had a very good meeting with staff from the Joint Committee on Printing on Tuesday during the ALA Day on the Hill event. Both Matt McGowan and Mike Harrison participated and the discussion was quite good. They were both engaged in the conversation and the Q&A was wide ranging. While I am not so naïve as to believe that they rushed back to their office to change their approach I do think that they heard us and appreciated our frank comments. I hope that we can build on this initial successful contact in order to give JCP access to some new voices on the issue of access to government information.
I want to express my appreciation to Lynne Bradley and Tara Olivero for setting the meeting up and I hope that you will too if you have a chance.
If you have not taken a look at the July 2nd report from the National Security Archive on FOIA you should. Like all of their efforts this it is an excellent review of the challenges faced in getting FOIA requests filled. 40 Years of FOIA, 20 Years of Delay[3]

Our Kickstarter campaign is over now, thanks to everyone who backed the project! If you missed it, you can still get more info about Urbanized and support the film at our official site.
Cheers! -Gary
In 2005 I began work on my first documentary, Helvetica, which looked at the worlds of typography and graphic design through the eyes of one loved/hated/ubiquitous little font. I wasn't a designer, or even a filmmaker, just a design geek who really wanted to see a movie about fonts! After Helvetica was released in 2007, I had the idea for a second film, Objectified, which focused on industrial design and product design, and our relationship with the manufactured objects that surround us. But I realized there was more to explore, and had the initial ideas for a third film that would also examine how design affects our lives. So I began thinking of the films as a "design trilogy".
The third documentary in this trilogy is about the design of cities. Urbanized looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design, featuring some of the world's foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers. I've teamed up once again with cinematographer Luke Geissbuhler, and we've been traveling around the world interviewing people and filming specific urban design projects that represent the issues facing cities today. The world's population is in the midst of a massive migration to urban areas, and the design solutions our cities implement in the next 20 years will be critical.
We've already spent over a year and some substantial production costs making Urbanized, with over 100 people involved in the film thus far. We're knee-deep in the editing process now with Helvetica editor Shelby Siegel, but we still have several more filming trips to make this spring, and then we tackle post-production tasks like sound editing, color correction, and other tech work before completing the film this summer.
Urbanized is a totally independent project: we don't get government funding or grants. And while we've been honored to have PBS and the BBC broadcast our films, they don't produce them or help us make them, they license broadcast rights to the films after we finish them. So Urbanized is being funded mainly by revenue from my previous two films. Please join us in helping to finish Urbanized, and you'll get some nice goodies as a reward. I'm especially excited about The Design Trilogy limited-edition box set, which will include the debut of Helvetica Neue. It's the director's cut of Helvetica (this time Arial shoots first).
Thanks to everyone who has supported these films, on behalf of all of the people who've worked on them. We really appreciate it.
Cheers! -Gary
PS: The soundtrack of the video above is our old friends El Ten Eleven, it's the song "Anxiety is Cheap" from their new album.
PPS: As a special bonus for our Kickstarter backers, we'll be releasing exclusive video clips and soundtrack MP3s over the next few months as we're finishing Urbanized. These clips and songs will only be available to our backers. You're helping us finish this film, so you deserve an exclusive first look at the footage as we're shooting and editing it!
The Design Trilogy limited-edition box set, designed by Build, only 1,000 copies. Definitive editions of the three films on all-region DVD or Blu-ray, in a slipcover case with a hardbound art book (and some extra surprise goodies). Each copy signed by director Gary Hustwit:

Nike signs Nick Watney and Kyle Stanley
The folks at Nike Golf aren't taking it easy on New Year's Day. Instead of sleeping in, the Swoosh has announced that it has signed Nick Watney and Kyle Stanley away from Titleist.
Stanley's story -- crushing defeat at Torrey Pines followed the very next week by a redemptive victory in Phoenix -- is a great one, but Watney is the big story here. He's a five-time winner on the PGA Tour, with the most recent of those coming at the Barclays, the first event of the 2012 FedExCup playoffs. And, of course, he won the FedExCup in 2011.
Watney, ranked No. 20 in the world, is making the first equipment switch of his 10-year pro career, Nike said. He will play a full bag of Nike clubs, use Nike accessories and wear Nike gloves, headwear, footwear and apparel as part of his multi-year agreement with the company.
In Watney's bag will be:
--VR_S Covert driver with 11.5 degrees of loft and in a neutral position
--VR_S Covert 3-wood with 14 degrees of loft
--VR_S Covert 5-wood with 18 degrees of loft
--VR Pro Combo irons (3-PW)
--VR Pro 55-degree and 59-degree wedges
--Method Prototype putter
--20XI ball
--Tour Performance Collection apparel
--Lunar Control II footwear
Stanley also has signed a multiyear deal to use Nike gear and wear Nike apparel. His bag will include:
--VR_S Covert driver with 9.5 degrees of loft and in a neutral position
--VR Pro Limited Edition 3-wood with 15 degrees of loft
--VR Pro Combo 2-iron
--VR Pro Blades (3- to 9-irons)
--Nike VR Pro 52-degree, 56-degree and 60-degree wedges
--20XI X putter
--Tour Performance Collection apparel
--Lunar Control II footwear
A few quick notes:
--Watney's 11.5 degrees of loft in his driver is the most loft of any top-level PGA Tour player that I'm aware of. Watney, who is switching to Nike from Titleist, had been using a 10.5-degree loft in his Titleist 913D3 driver.
--The list of Stanley's gear that Nike released doesn't include a putter. It's possible that he hasn't definitely decided on a new Nike model yet, but it's also possible that he's planning to stick with an old reliable putter of a different brand. I'm not sure what he's been using lately, but when he won the Phoenix Open last February, he used a Scotty Cameron Timeless GSS prototype.
--Both Watney and Stanley are scheduled to debut their new stuff in the PGA Tour's season-opening Hyundai Tournament of Champions, which starts this Friday in Hawaii.
--And finally, one more intriguing tidbit to start the new year. Nike is planning another announcement next Monday, Jan. 7, and the speculation is, of course, that it will be the official word on Rory McIlroy's much-reported switch to the Swoosh.
Update: Also, we have learned that:
--Chris Kirk has gone from Titleist to Callaway
--Gary Woodland has gone from Titleist to Callaway
--2009 British Open champion Stewart Cink has gone from Nike over to TaylorMade
--2010 U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover also has gone from Nike over to TaylorMade
--2012 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year John Huh has gone from Ping to TaylorMade
--Ryan Moore has gone from Adams Golf over to TaylorMade (TaylorMade owns Adams Golf, so this is an in-house move)

Breakfast has to my most favorite meal of the day. There's just something about the smell of a cuppa joe, pancakes or waffles, bacon and sausages. I especially love breakfast for dinner. It defies all the rules of a traditional savory dinner. It's what your Momma told you what not to do with having sweets before dinner. Having breakfast for dinner means it can be sweet, savory, or a combination of both. It's like having dessert WITH dinner. It's just like heaven but better.
We intended on making vegan pancakes and vegetarian sausages for dinner, especially after a great workout at the gym; however, as our hunger set in while driving home from the gym, bacon all of a sudden started to sound real good. Better yet, crushed, crispy bacon folded into the pancake batter sounded even yummier. So what was supposed to be a vegan meal, ended up being a gluttony of bacon. The end. 🙂
Maple Bacon Pancakes
1 1/4 cups soy or almond milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
1/2 cup wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup all-purpose flour or rice flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional: crushed, crispy bacon (for the non-vegetarian crowd)
Combine all the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix just enough to combine, but be sure not to over mix the pancake batter as this is the end result for tough pancakes. At this point, if you want, add the crushed, crispy bacon and fold into the batter gently.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Ladle as many pancakes as possible onto your skillet. Cook for about a minute and half on the first side or until the surface is covered with small bubbles and the underside is nicely browned. Flip and cook for about a minute on the second side. Repeat the process until you run out of batter.
Serve with maple syrup, and your favorite toppings.
We topped our pancakes with sliced bananas, a few slices of crispy bacon, and maple syrup.
Serving size: 3 or 4 (about a dozen pancakes)
