Chicago First to Glimpse this Year's Best Actor Oscar®
Beverly Hills, CA (February 18, 2010) — Oscar fans in Chicago will be first in line to see the actual Oscar statuette to be presented to the Best Actor winner at the 82nd Academy Awards® on Sunday, March 7. The statuette will be part of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' "Meet the Oscars®, Chicago," presented by Kodak, at The Shops at North Bridge on Michigan Avenue. The exhibition will open Thursday, February 25, and run through Sunday, March 7. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free.
"Meet the Oscars, Chicago" also will give movie fans the opportunity to have their picture taken holding an actual Oscar statuette. "Kodak is proud to partner with the Academy and to help bring the excitement of the Oscars directly to the movie-loving audience," said Kim Snyder, president and general manager of Kodak's Entertainment Imaging Group Division. "This partnership is natural fit for Kodak and a great way to celebrate Kodak's and the Academy's shared history in filmmaking."
The exhibition will include the statuette that actress Bette Davis won for her role in "Jezebel" (1939). Davis's Oscar was purchased at auction by an anonymous buyer in 2001 and returned to the Academy. The anonymous buyer was later revealed to be Steven Spielberg. (The statuette is one of three purchased by Spielberg and returned to the Academy.) "Meet the Oscars, Chicago" also will feature a display of Oscars in various stages of completion, as manufactured by Chicago's own R.S. Owens & Company, and the Oscar awarded to the DuPont Film Manufacturing Corporation and Eastman Kodak Company in 1930/31 for super-sensitive panchromatic film.
On Friday, March 5, the statuette designated for this year's Best Actor will make its way back to Hollywood where it will be reunited with the rest of the Oscars to be presented on Sunday, March 7.
Oscar fans in New York will also have the opportunity to see an Oscar firsthand at "Meet the Oscars, New York" at The Shops at Columbus Circle at Time Warner Center. "Meet the Oscars, New York" also will be open from Thursday, February 25, through Sunday, March 7.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2009 will be presented on Sunday, March 7, 2010, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network beginning at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.

A Closer Look at 3 Players in Diabetes Treatments
Leo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Two niche players in diabetes treatments -- Osiris Therapeutics (NASDAQ: OSIR) and MannKind (NASDAQ: MNKD) -- rallied strongly recently, after the two companies announced positive study results regarding their flagship products. Osiris, which uses stem cell treatments for bone and skin grafts, and MannKind, which is the last major company dedicated to producing inhalable insulin, are closely watched by biotech investors since an FDA approval would grant both companies instant monopolies in their respective markets.
One big step for Osiris
Osiris, which focuses exclusively on stem cell based treatments, first caught the market's attention in May with the Canadian approval of Prochymal, the world's first approved stem cell drug. Prochymal is used to treat children who have contracted acute graft-vs-host disease and are unresponsive to steroids. In the United States, Prochymal is still undergoing Phase III clinical trials to evaluate its efficacy in treating acute graft-vs-host disease, Crohn's disease, heart and lung tissue damage, and the protection of pancreatic islet cells in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Osiris' other major product, Grafix, is aimed at closing wounds quickly, especially in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetic foot ulcers occur in 15% of diabetic patients and is a precursor to 84% of all lower leg amputations. Diabetes impairs the body's ability to heal wounds properly, causing a prolonged inflammatory phase.
Overwhelming effectiveness
On Aug. 13, Osiris announced that Grafix showed "overwhelming" effectiveness in treating chronic diabetic foot ulcers. The company stated that 62% of patients administered Grafix achieved complete wound closure, compared to a success rate of 21% in patients who were given standard treatments -- which requires relieving pressure on the wound, cutting away dead or damaged tissue, and the constant re-application of surgical dressings. Grafix uses a flexible membrane composed of living stem cells, which can be assimilated into the body more easily to heal wounds faster.
In addition to Prochymal and Grafix, Osiris also manufactures Ovation, a novel cellular repair matrix derived from placental stem cells, and Cartiform, which is used to treat acute cartilage injuries. In its clinical pipeline, Osiris is also evaluating Chondrogen, for osteoarthritis of the knee, and Osteocel XC, for focal bone regeneration. Osiris is currently unprofitable, but its revenue rose 214.8% year-on-year last quarter, signaling strong demand for its four marketed products.
One giant leap for MannKind
MannKind is an "all-in bet on a game-changing diabetes treatment," since MannKind's future is completely dependent on the success of its inhaled insulin Afrezza. Afrezza, an insulin powder that is loaded into an inhaler, is aimed at treating adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. If approved, it will be the first treatment of its kind, and could replace insulin injections completely.
Costing only 10% to 15% more than insulin injections, Afrezza could significantly improve the livelihood of diabetes patients at a minimal cost. The FDA initially rejected Afrezza twice in 2010 and 2011, asking the company to perform two more clinical trials to prove the efficacy of its second-generation inhaler.
MannKind recently completed two Phase III trials, and the results were better than what anyone had anticipated. On Aug. 13, MannKind stated that the two studies showed that Afrezza compared favorably to both injected insulin and oral treatments. The first trial demonstrated that Afrezza's efficacy was comparable to Novo Nordisk's (NYSE: NVO) injected insulin NovoLog. The second trial proved that Afrezza could reduce blood sugar levels better than existing oral treatments. Both studies also indicated that Afrezza could reduce incidences of hypoglycemia. This positive news caused MannKind to surge more than 15% the following day.
MannKind is notable because it is the last major pharmaceutical company to develop inhaled insulin. Other companies, such as Novo Nordisk/Aradigm and Alkermes/Eli Lilly, gave up on their efforts to revolutionize insulin treatments long ago. MannKind intends to submit the full data from its clinical trials to the FDA in the fourth quarter ending in December.
A more conservative play
For investors who think Osiris and MannKind are too speculative, Novo Nordisk might be worth a look. The company, which is the Nordic region's largest company by market capitalization, is one of the market leaders in traditional insulin treatments. The company's primary insulin products include Levemir, NovoLog, and NovoLin R. Last quarter, the company's earnings and revenue rose 28.3% and 12.6%, respectively.
Novo Nordisk also recently raised its profit and revenue guidance for the third time this year, suggesting very strong demand for its diabetes treatments. The company expects profit to rise 12% to 15%, while revenue is forecast to climb 11% to 13%. However, Novo recently disclosed that it was being investigated in China, after the Chinese government charged pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline with bribery allegations. Novo stated that it had not been accused of any wrongdoing yet, and that it was unclear if the recent visits by Chinese authorities were a routine inspection or related to the GSK charges.
A Foolish parting thought
Diabetes is currently one of the most hotly contested markets in biotech right now, and that feverish trend will continue in the foreseeable future, due to an aging global population and rising cases of diabetes. An estimated 347 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, with 25.8 million of those cases recorded in the United States. WHO projects that number to continue rising, until diabetes becomes the seventh leading cause of death in 2030.
The front runner in diabetes treatments will undoubtedly be Novo Nordisk, but more adventurous investors should also pay attention to the fringe players, such as Osiris, and the revolutionary ones, such as MannKind, which could profit even more handsomely than the major players.

Personnel policy debated in Rutland TownApril 24,2013By Courtney Parker
Personnel policy disagreements had some Rutland Town officials riled up Tuesday night.
New Selectman Don Chioffi said including elected officials in a policy governing the conduct of employees was potentially problematic.
"I answer both individually and collectively to every single taxpayer and citizen of the town of Rutland that elected me," he said.
Chioffi said he had no problem abiding by the policy, but he said it was purposeless and that he holds himself to a higher standard.
"It's an ethical thing with me; it isn't something written down," he said.
Selectman John Paul Faignant defended the policy, saying the board bore no extra burden from being covered by it.
"This is just another policy," said Faignant, comparing it to the liability and workers' compensation policies. "You're covered under that the same as you'd be covered under anything else."
Faignant said the personnel policy was meant to govern conduct and he asked Chioffi why elected officials should not be held to the same standards as town employees.
"You need the personnel policies to describe the behavior that a majority of the board might feel violate the state's statutes; this is the foundation to take in disciplinary action," he said.
Chioffi said he does not see any enforcement authority against elected officials, and asked where elected officials' duties would fall under the policy.
Faignant replied, "What you are trying to do is take a policy and understand it in the realm of a specific instance. In 34 years I've never seen two personnel issues come up with the same issues."

In 2009, I was sent by Doctors Without Borders in North Kivu to document the impacts of ethnical conflicts on local populations. In Democratic Republic of Congo, victims of war are counted by millions. The NGO's ''Condition: Critical'' campaign aimed to portray the stories of survivors. I listened and witnessed sorrow, suffering, terror. But I also met hope and resiliency. At Rutshuru hospital and in displaced people camps, life tries to go on. Influenced by a previous photo documentary I did in Mozambique on Aids a few years before, I wanted to emphasize on how people keep going. I heard the stories of Françoise, Elina and Bahati, among others. This gallery reflects their strength, and tells their courage facing horror.

A new consolidated list of references of harmonised standards under the low voltage directive 2006/95/EC was published in the Official Journal C 61 of 29 February 2012.
More than 680 European standards provide solutions for compliance and presumption of conformity with relevant essential requirements of the low voltage directive. Although the references of these standards are published in the Official Journal of the European Union their publication is not required to provide for a presumption of conformity for low voltage products.
The use of harmonised standards is optional. Manufacturers can choose whether or not to follow a harmonised standard to manufacture their products. Manufacturers may thus go for any other technical solution but they must demonstrate that their products are in conformity with the mandatory safety requirements.

It's dinner time in the Downing home. Mom, Dad and son Caleb. However, just about a year ago, things in this home were much different.
Caleb was having dinner in a Russian orphanage.
Susan and Joe Downing had just returned to East Texas from a prayer vigil.
"On the day we got back, of all the messages waiting there was a call and it just asked if we would host a child coming on a Russian tour," says Susan, "and we prayed about it and said we would."
Caleb was one of many children coming to East Texas from his Russian orphanage. As Susan and Joe continued to pray about their visitor they realized they were called to do much more than host a child.
"You show them all this stuff and then a week later you have to send them back," said Joe, "and I didn't feel right about doing that. I told Susan I didn't feel right about doing that, so if she wanted to host then we were going to have to adopt. And we began to pray about it."
"And we were praying over it and the Lord told me that we would love this child and I just stepped out the shower about a month later and said I don't about you but I'm ready to adopt," recalls Susan.
The Downings said yes to God's call before they found out the costs and complications of a Russian adoption.
"We committed to adopting Caleb and only then found out there was a big finical commitment. And we got to the penny and no more exactly what it cost to bring him home," says Susan. "The time frame was less than what we anticipated. We went with another couple who adopted Caleb's best friend, which is another miracle in this story and it was just blessing heaped upon blessing."
Six months after Joe and Susan met Caleb, he was on his way to his new East Texas home. The Downings never thought this would be the way they became parents, but they do not question that this was God's plan for their life.
"And that's hard to explain," says Joe, "how you know if the Lord is leading you there. You know we've done it enough and he's lead us into enough situations to where we feel this common feeling and we know its from him. Cause its always worked out for the best."
"You know we prayed for children," says Susan, "you think you have a plan and then you realize that this is my plan and my plan wasn't a good one after all.
"In the back of our minds we knew we were going to have children," says Joe. "So there was that expectation. We just didn't know when and we left that up to God's timing. It was the perfect timing though and he (Caleb) is definitely an answer to our prayer."
"And God just put this in our lap and we have to take that step of faith. And he's our son, he was just born in Russia. He's just a little miracle," says Susan.
Clint Yeatts Reporting
***Editors Note: A group of Russian orphans similar to the one Caleb Downing came with last year will be in East Texas in late December. There is a need for volunteers, donations, hosts and potential adoptive families. For more information contact Susan Downing at 903-839-6726.

The provisions of section 1424 of title 42, U.S.C., 1940 ed., The Public Health and Welfare, relating to conspiracy were omitted as inconsistent with the general conspiracy statute, section 371 of this title, both as to punishment and allegation and proof of an overt act.

MADISON (WSAU-Wheeler News) It's technically called the state budget – but a Republican lawmaker says it should include a ban on public access where Gogebic Taconite is exploring the feasibility of a new iron ore mine. The two-year spending-and-policy package will be up for discussion in the state Assembly today.
South Milwaukee Republican Mark Honadel says he'll ask his majority G-O-P colleagues to add budget language that keeps protestors away like those which caused two-thousand dollars of vandalism at the mining site last week. The public currently has access to the land where Gogebic Taconite is drilling eight exploratory holes. It's the first stage in the possible development of a one-and-a-half billion dollar mine along a four-mile stretch in Ashland and Iron counties.
A local mining education group hiked on the site Saturday, and about 50 people took part with no incidents. The head of that group, Frank Koehn, says it's crucial for people to see the site, so they can learn what its impact will be. Honadel says people are kept away from logging sites on public land – so it only makes sense to keep people away from mining activities.
Honadel says it might be too late to get something in the budget, but he says the protests must be addressed as soon as possible. Senate G-O-P Leader Scott Fitzgerald says his house is also in the early stages of its own plan to limit access.
Last week, officials said people who hid their faces slashed tires, damaged equipment, destroyed an employee's camera, and took her cell-phone. Gogebic Taconite's Bob Seitz called it "eco-terrorism."

Transition to Adulthood provides specific information about the population of adolescents with emotional or behavioral problems and the special challenges they face as they approach adulthood and the adult service system. It also describes recommended practices for helping them weather these transitions. This book is one in the Systems of Care for Children's Mental Health series edited by Beth A. Stroul and Robert M. Friedman that addresses current practices and system-level issues in child and adolescent mental health service delivery. Dr. Clark and Dr. Davis bring to this text their expertise in service delivery design, practice, and research.
Transition to Adulthood is an edited volume that is organized into five sections. Section 1 provides descriptive background information: Who are these youths, and what do we know about them and their needs? How does the system typically operate, and how does its operation affect this population? This first section introduces a framework for the development and operation of a recommended transition system that would address a range of transition needs of this group of youths, including employment, education, living situation, and community-life adjustment.
The second section contains six chapters that describe treatment, support, and other intervention strategies that have been field-tested and refined to assist this population in achieving success across all domains of transition. Section 3 focuses on the perspectives of these youths and their family members and the importance of actively engaging family members and other community supporters in service planning and support. The critical role of parents as advocates for their children is discussed, and recommendations are offered for supporting parents in this role.
Section 4 discusses system, policy, and financing issues that must be addressed if service delivery to this population is to be improved. The final section summarizes and highlights the issues covered in the previous sections and outlines agendas for service and system reform and research that are needed in this area.
Transition to Adulthood is designed for and contains valuable information for a range of audiences, including psychiatrists and other mental health service providers; educators, juvenile justice personnel, and others who interact with these youths; administrators who run or plan services for this population; parents; and advocates.
Parents can use the information in this book to understand the broad scope of developmental issues that must be addressed by and for their children and to develop and pursue the supports and services they need in the community. Advocates will use the descriptions of affected youths and needed services to promote attention to this population in their communities. Service providers in a multitude of settings and disciplines will benefit from better knowledge of the comprehensive needs of this population and specific program ideas for addressing these needs. Administrators of community agencies, behavioral health managed care companies, and state agencies should benefit from the system-level view that provides them with both a conceptual framework and specific details for planning and implementing relevant services. I recommend this book for all these audiences.
Dr. Heflinger is associate professor of human and organizational development at Peabody College and a fellow at the Vanderbilt Institute of Public Policy Studies at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

We will warn you from the start that we are not in a good mood as we write this, just so you know.
All of us who are Mountaineer fans should be in a great mood this week, considering that the third-ranked LSU Tigers will be in Morgantown to play 16th-ranked WVU Saturday night and that ESPN's GameDay cast will be there to document it via a primetime national telecast.
But no, a little obstacle like the pending collapse of Big East football has intervened and rained on our parade.
SO INSTEAD OF THE FULL-ON positive anticipation the LSU game and the resultant media glare should bring us, that warm and fuzzy feeling is cut at least in half by the oncoming dread we feel that WVU somehow may be left out of a comfortable spot in the impending shuffle of college football conference realignment.
Unlike the storm at this year's Marshall game, we know that if such a lightning bolt strikes the WVU program, it will not be just a delay, but will have long-term ramifications.
In response to all that has happened in the past few days to put WVU and several other successful college athletic programs in this worrisome predicament, we take this opportunity to dole out recognition to those who have made it possible:
THANKS A LOT, BIG EAST COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE, which has spent the past two decades running interference for the league's basketball-only schools at the expense of the football-basketball schools.
Much of the reason this has happened can be found in Providence, Rhode Island, and not only because that is where the league offices are located.
The only three commissioners the Big East has ever had all have come from conference basketball-only member Providence College -- league founder Dave Gavitt, Gavitt's successor Mike Tranghese and current commissioner John Marinatto.
The Big East started as a basketball-only conference and only added football out of necessity to keep original members Syracuse, Boston College and early entry Pitt from leaving to help form an all-sports eastern conference envisioned by Penn State coaching statue Joe Paterno.
Gavitt and his acolytes Tranghese and Marinatto have gone out of their way to keep Big East football at arm's length, even though football has long been the Big East's cash cow.
They resisted football expansion because they didn't want it to dwarf the Providences, Seton Halls and Villanovas of the league.
By doing so, they created a two-headed monster whose interests often were diametrically opposed to each other and made decisions such as football expansion cumbersome, plodding and agenda-driven.
The result was the loss of five of the original football members to the Atlantic Coast Conference -- first Miami, Boston College and Virginia Tech, and now Syracuse and Pitt.
Ironically, Gavitt died last Friday, the same day that Syracuse and Pitt announced they had applied to leave the Big East for the ACC.
The moan you hear is Gavitt rolling in his grave.
THANKS A LOT, NOTRE DAME. The Fighting Irish could have gone a long way in solving the Big East's football dilemma years ago by joining the football side.
We think it is downright usurious the way Notre Dame has taken advantage of its spot in every other Big East sport other than the one it could have helped the most by its presence.
Of course, the conference domos have never lifted a finger to prod Notre Dame into becoming a football member.
They probably even would have let the Irish keep the money it makes through its lucrative football television contract with NBC, but no dice. Who could blame them? Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?
It was pathetic to listen to Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick decry the damage Syracuse and Pitt did to the Big East with their jumps to the ACC.
What Swarbrick said was true, but we get the impression that his hypocritical ire is due not to empathy for his conference kin's uncertain future, but to the potential damage the moves might cause to Notre Dame's sweetheart deal with the Big East.
THANKS A LOT, ESPN. The limelight ESPN has cast over the past three decades has contributed as much as any other entity to making college sports the media leviathan that it has become.
It also has helped create a monolithic dash for cash that has handsomely rewarded a relative few, yet has fostered instability among conferences as they raided other leagues to maximize their own chance to grab a lion's share of the TV dollars and cable subscription fees being waved in front of them, while leaving others to fight over the scraps.
In fact, it was the negative reaction from Big 12 members to ESPN's and the University of Texas' budding Longhorn Network that triggered the current conference realignment melee that has the Big East staggering.
Speaking of ironies, it was an ESPN media barrage through the 1980s and '90s that made the Big East what it was.
Now the mercenary world it has spawned is leading to the Big East's demise and by the way, ESPN isn't missing a minute of it.
Nice job on the WVU GameDay decision, though.
THANKS A LOT, JOHN SWOFFORD, commissioner and chief assassin of the staid, stuffy, sanctimonious ACC, which has earned top rank among conferences that have allowed naked ambition and greed to circumvent their ethics.
Watching all this unfold makes us want to track down and congratulate anyone who stole Swofford's lunch money in grade or middle school.
We strongly suspect that happened quite a bit to Swofford as a kid and that now he is projecting the same bully behavior on a larger, more cunning scale as an adult. The guy seems to like hurting people through the art of subterfuge.
Let us say at this point that we at least understand the ACC's interest in Syracuse.
The ACC's interest in Pitt is a mystery to us, however.
We can only wonder why a conference with such a high opinion of itself -- one featuring a variety of bucolic and beautiful campus settings -- would dare to involve itself with Pitt.
Pitt is a place where home football games generally feature thousands of people disguised as empty seats and which has its campus flush in the middle of a ghetto reminiscent of one you would see in re-runs of a "Kojak" episode.
Good luck with that one, Swofford.

Gambling Insanity
Political Chicanery and Cowardice
Topics: Business & Economics, Colson_Links, Crime & Justice, Education, Marriage & Family, Politics & Government
The "vice-ous" circle includes legalizing Pot
As indicated by my research posted in another forum, it is clear that many "friends of Obama" are all over the idea of legalizing Marijuana too, using many of the same arguments. "Just think of all the roads we could build, repair, etc., etc." Roads that will carry the "high" price of high drivers. These are very sad and short-sighted solutions in a drive-thru world!
Nothing new
This appears to be but one facet of what Del Tackett called the "common insanity" of our culture. Once again it appeals to the something for nothing/ easy money mentality. It also seems that the old adage was right: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
The Gambling Insanity Breakpoint
And the states that have Indian casinos have been suckered twice. Once for the promise of tourism that was supposed to come. And second for having to foot the bill for the human costs Chuck accurately described at the end. And they didn't even get the upfront revenue.

Main Street Rag Books, March 2008
Paperback: 90 pp; $14
This title was selected for publication after finishing as a finalist in the 2007 MSR Poetry Book Award contest. "The poems in Apparition Wren are sometimes sensual, sexual, almost rawly empathic to the loneliness and suffering of the characters she writes about (look at "Mud Pie Underworld," "Butcher's Wife"); sometimes Alsop's poems are less narrative, and still beautifully candid and strange." —Jean Valentine

A wonderful debut collection of prose poems and flash fictions, short short stories of beautiful precisions and understated passions.

These stories brim with ideas, with firm outward gazes upon the story's world and a bracing intellect involved beyond the self.

But when she and Jane arrive in Providence, Rhode Island, things begin to go wrong. The old friend whom Nan expected to stay with has vanished. Her son-in-law is on her trail. And Alex disappears. "I'm too old for this!" Nan thinks, in furious, self-pitying despair. She wasn't a good wife; she wasn't a good mother.

Voices Rising
Stories from the Katrina Narrative Project
Edited by Rebecca Antoine
University of New Orleans, March 2008
Paperback: 250pp; $12.95
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina battered the Gulf Coast and nearly toppled the historic city of New Orleans. As the storm cleared, residents watched water and chaos overtake their city, while political and legal systems proved unprepared and insufficient. The University of New Orleans served as a base for rescue and sustained tremendous damage to its Lakefront campus, but, in October 2005, the university reopened online and asked students to submit interviews and accounts of citizens' experiences during Hurricane Katrina. Hundreds of manuscripts, interviews, and transcripts were collected from students and other residents who were willing to share their personal stories of the disaster. UNO compiled all of the submissions and created The Katrina Narrative Project, which is currently housed at the University of New Orleans Library. Voices Rising is a sampling of this greater collection. Transcending the images and headlines portrayed in the media, these are the true accounts of trauma and survival told by the people who endured them.

Failure is an Option
The other warthog tore around the corner at full throttle, military treads cutting four deep gouges through the hard-packed snow, and skidded right into my crosshairs. I slammed down the trigger and unleashed a merciless hail of lead from the turret's .50 caliber guns. Even as they swerved wildly for the nearest cover, I knew their light armor never stood a chance; after two hellish seconds I released the trigger, letting the barrels spin to a halt. Another would-be challenger was no more.
The game was Halo: Combat Evolved. The map, Ice Fields. The mission…well, it was a race, so the mission was just to go around in circles really fast. But my teammate in the driver's seat was handling that job; I was manning the warthog's rear-mounted M41 Vulcan machine gun. My mission was to kill anything that moved. His precision maneuvering and my itchy trigger finger kept us near the head of the pack for several laps, but there was another warthog team ahead of us that had so far managed to stay maddeningly out of range for the whole game.
We rounded another corner. A stone bridge protruding from a yawning tunnel of ice came into view, indicating the start of our next—and final—lap. We had to pass that other team. Our next checkpoint was directly below us, underneath the bridge in the center of the track's giant figure eight, but the only way down (other than a lethal drop off the bridge itself) was a long detour around one of the loops.
"I don't care how you do it," I spoke into my headset, perhaps a bit melodramatically, "but you've got to catch up to them somehow. We don't get another shot at this."
"Relax, man, this race is all us. Check this out."
I had only a moment to ponder what he meant before he suddenly—
—swerved right off the bridge, sending us tumbling helplessly into the icy chasm below. Our warthog went through a series of stomach-wrenching flips, spinning in three directions at once as it plummeted into a canyon filled with massive and unforgiving boulders, and I prayed to the great god of motion sickness that we would somehow make it through this insanity—
…Alive? We were alive! We landed upright! And we were right on top of the next checkpoint, having just cut an entire loop out of our route. And the team that used to be ahead of us was just coming into view. I chuckled and turned my crosshairs toward them as we sped off toward the finish line.
After the race, my driver swore to me that he knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. So it wasn't just blind luck; there is an actual, specific set of moves one can learn to pull off that same absurdly dangerous stunt without becoming gravity's bitch. But if I learned it from this guy, and he discovered it from someone even more insane than himself, who invented the shortcut in the first place? Logically there must have been some original lunatic who looked at the figure eight map, found the shortest possible line between those two checkpoints, and then decided to try driving his warthog straight off the bridge into the icy, boulder-strewn ground below, knowing he would either end up dead or in first place.
He probably ended up dead. Then he respawned, grabbed another warthog, tried his deranged stunt a second time, and one more bloody corpse wound up decorating the lower path. Repeat.
You know that adage about how an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters will eventually bang out the complete works of Shakespeare? Well, any sufficiently determined lunatic with an infinite number of lives is bound to get somewhere after a while. And he did. After that race my driver showed me how to plow into the bridge's guard rail at just the right angle, then topple over the edge while gunning the engine, and finally drop thirty feet to the ground to land alive and upright.
That was five years ago. There are still only a few expert drivers who can pull this trick off reliably, and in all modesty, I'm now one of them. I'm also really good at other racing games, like the Need for Speed and Burnout franchises. I've been tearing around crowded city streets in a Lamborghini since before I was old enough to drive my mom's minivan, so going Really Fast™ is just second nature to me.
So why is it that, when I'm in a real car, I can barely merge onto the interstate without having a near-death experience?
Seriously, I'm a pretty bad driver in real life. And not the kamikaze maniac kind of bad you might expect from the last few paragraphs; I'm just really timid. This used to bug the hell out of me, until a few days ago when I got to thinking about failure in games. Consider what it means to fail when you're driving in real life: At best, you'll ding your bumper and have to drop a couple hundred dollars getting it fixed. At worst, you and several other people will be killed. Consequences like these tend to cut down on risk-taking.
Picture explaining this to your mother.
Okay, back to games. How many times do you think I failed (as in, died) before I learned how to do that bridge stunt in Halo? I don't want to embarrass myself any further, so I'll just say it was a lot. It eventually got so bad that I had to shorten the vehicle respawn timer so that I wouldn't get a pile of wrecked warthogs accumulating below the bridge; a perpetual monument to my extraordinary suckitude.
Now imagine if I had been given a "game over" screen after three deaths, like in the old arcade games. I'd certainly never learn that jump, for one thing. In fact, I probably never would have tried; I'd just putter meekly around the circuit and avoid anything that might get me killed. It's just a simple change, but by minimizing the consequences of failure, Halo has allowed me and plenty of other players to become much better at the game.
Not that developers need to stop there. Subsequent Halo games have a feature that lets you record an entire match and replay it from any angle, so you can figure out exactly how you ended up getting teabagged for the eleventh time in five minutes. Real-time strategy titles have been doing this for years; I remember Age of Empires II let me watch a completed game from the perspective of my opponents, which went a long way toward fixing the weaknesses in my own strategies. Valve's Team Fortress 2 has a rather excellent death screen that gives a detailed breakdown of who killed you, from where, and with what weapon. No death is wasted, so long as you learn something from it.
Although they may just want to rub it in, too.
Many gamers are old enough to remember what life was like before this new design philosophy became popular (hint: it was hard). Games in the arcade era were often maddeningly difficult, because forcing players to die over and over again was the only way to make them keep feeding quarters into the machine. But now that arcade machines have long since gone out of style, developers are learning a new business model with regard to difficulty.
Yes, I said business model. You didn't think they were just holding your hand to be nice, did you? You did? That's cute. Now consider this: Practically every game requires the player to learn something new, be it as easy as which gun to use on what enemy, as complex as a new control scheme, or as daunting as several completely new laws of physics (I'm looking at you, Portal). If players aren't convinced within the first few minutes of play that they can learn to enjoy themselves in this new game world, they're likely to give up and play something else. Games need to make us experts before they make us frustrated, and doing that means teaching us something new at every possible opportunity. Including—especially—when we fail.
If you're still not convinced, just think of all the cool activities you can learn in games that you'd never try in real life—not because they're impossible, but because you just aren't ready to die yet.
There's parkour…
Demolitions …
And biology:
Back in high school, when I was playing Halo obsessively, I didn't know what a gift this leniency was. I had no idea that the concept of failure would later blossom into a full suite of learning tools, or that I was learning to drive almost as quickly as Neo learned Kung Fu in The Matrix. All I knew was that I wanted to do that stunt. So I put my favorite Weezer album on a loop, loaded up Ice Fields, and set about teaching a Warthog to fly.
What a good list, I just have to decide what vectors program works best and I'm adobe free rolex daydate

Police forces from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Michigan and Indiana will work together to minimize intoxicated driving and crashes. As part of the 6-State Trooper Project, troopers have set up multiple sobriety checkpoints across the collaborating states to get reckless drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs off the road.
Police patrols will be using a combination of tactics to counter the annual increase in drunk driving incidents which happen during the Independence Day holiday week. They will doubtlessly increase the number of officers they have out on patrol because cruising the streets looking for people who might be drunk behind the wheel remains an effective counter measure to thwart drunk drivers. But they won't stop there. Nope. Police in these six states will also have DUI checkpoints set up on major roads and anywhere they feel they might have the best chance of catching drunk drivers. (This might include that secret shortcut you use to evade police in the first place.)
The best way to avoid a drunk driving arrest and the fines and punishments which come with it is to not get behind the wheel drunk in the first place. If you are going to be drinking this holiday make certain you arrange for a safe and sober ride home before you ever leave your house. You never know when you might be the one causing an accident while drunk, or even, being the victim of a vehicle crash caused by a drunk driver.
So, set a good example for others to follow and have a safe holiday!

I got this product mainly to have a decent bag to carry my rope in and especially for the built in tarp. This bag fits way more than i was expecting, and the tarp is more than big enough. With how i normally carry my gear in, the over the shoulder strap makes it a bit awkward to carry, though everyone's mileage may vary on that account. I like having two locations on the tarp to die both ends of the rope down, it makes it easy to find ends of your rope after lugging the bag around at the crag.
The rope bag is big enough to fit a 60 meter rope (10.2mm) and sport climbing equipment (harness, quickdraws, belaying devices). Looks pretty resistant and the mat is large which I like because keeps the rope from getting too dirty.Only problem is that it has to big carried on the shoulder so if you plan on using it for long approach might be uncomfortable
I got the bag expecting a thick liner and some padding, it turned out to be a bit thinner/more lightweight than expected which surprised me as it doesn't seem suited to actually climbing with it.That said it's definitely sturdy enough and has plenty of room.
I purchased this bag over Christmas, and took it climbing recently. The bag performed well, and the fold out tarp was convenient and functional. The only downside is that it can be a bit awkward to carry...If it had back-pack straps, it would be perfect.
Overall nice pack. Nice big rope tarp, keeps my rope clean. You can tie both ends of the rope to two different locations. Keep the rope organized. Would have been nicer if there were straps to carry it like a backpack.

1. Think about buying certified organic apples. USDA certification restricts all chemical pesticides.
2. Chat with your local grower about his pest-management practices. "Organic certification can be expensive and he may be growing without pesticides but [not marketing as organic] because he doesn't want to have to raise his prices," says Wallinga. If a grower is spraying, ask when. "Some growers spray only in the spring before the fruits form," says Wallinga. "They nip the pests in the bud, so to speak." Residues generally originate from "preharvest" spraying in the fall after the apples appear.

application virtualizationAlso called application service virtualization. Application virtualization is layered on top of other virtualization technologies, such as storage virtualization or machine virtualization to allow computing resources to be distributed dynamically in real time. In standard computing, applications install their settings onto the host operating system, hard-coding the entire system to fit that application's needs. With application virtualization, each application brings down its own set of configurations on-demand, and executes in a way so that it sees only its own settings. This leaves the host operating system and existing settings unaltered. [Adapted from Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization]

Waynesboro Police Department Press ReleaseThe Waynesboro Police Department has arrested a Waynesboro woman on embezzlement charges stemming from a five-day stealing spree last spring when she stole over $12,000 from her employer. On February 6, 2014, officers arrested Ellen Jan-nel Smith, 31 years old, on four counts of felony embezzlement. In late May 2013, senior managers from Fast Auto Loans, 1220 W Broad Street, reported that Smith, who was then the store manager, could not account for four days of deposits. When confronted with the issue of the missing money by her superiors, Smith resigned from her position. She had been employed there for a couple of years. The investigation continued for several months before the warrants were obtained.
Smith is free on bond.

I think the pharmaceutical companies are their own worst enemy. I rarely say this, but thank goodness that federal government sees that the side effects are advertised along with the product. Take a moment to watch some of the commercials and see how the side effects stand in comparison to cannabis.

MSN Sport's Rob Jones interviews one of Britain's big medal hopes for London 2012 - diver Pete Waterfield.
What qualities do you need to become a top class diver?
A lot of it is getting over the fear. We hit the water at 40mph off the board, so you've got to train your body to take that impact. Our sport is very explosive. We need to jump as quick and high as we can off the board, so we do a lot of work in the gym. But it's just having the bottle to do it really as well!
What's been the pinnacle of your career so far?
When I was nine I had a dream to go to an Olympics, but I never expected to get a medal. In our first Olympics me and Leon got fourth place, by only three points, which isn't a lot in our sport. So I then knew it was possible to get a medal. And then in 2004, in Athens, we got our silver medal.
How often to you get to train with your diving partner Tom Daley?
Tom lives in Plymouth and I live in Southampton. Tom had school commitment and I've got a young family, so he can't move to me and I can't move to him. We just do as much as we can. The beauty of it is the dives we do in synchro we also do individually, so when we get together it's just about getting the timing right.
Are you optimistic of gold in London 2012?
Of course, I wouldn't be doing it if I wasn't. I don't like going to competitions to make up the numbers. I want to know I'm in with a chance. Last year we competed against the top eight in the world in the world series and we won one of the events and got a bronze in another. So in two of the four competitions we medaled. And also we have the home crowd and I know what a home crowd can do for us as we won in Sheffield at the world series. It can really put pressure on the other divers.
