When presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney introduced Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan as the next "president" of the United States on Saturday, you can imagine the sweat forming on the brows of Romney campaign staffers and smiles on the faces of Obama campaign officials.
At a naval museum in Norfolk, Va., Romney proudly announced: "Join me in welcoming the next president of the United States, Paul Ryan!"
Moments after realizing his mistake, Romney quickly returned to the microphone to say, "Every now and then I'm known to make a mistake. I did not make a mistake with this guy. But I can tell you this, he's going to be the next vice president of the United States."
The crowd, good-natured and supportive, laughed off the gaffe and gave another rousing cheer.
Lest Democrats get too giddy over the moment, however, it was reminiscent of another time in recent presidential campaign history when Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama took to an Illinois stage to introduce his 2008 running mate:
"Let me introduce to you the next president, the next vice president, of the United States of America…Joe Biden," the then-U.S. senator said on Aug. 23 of that year (Skip ahead to the end of the video below):

***JOE***Jimmy Carter made George "W" Bush look like a genius. Rumor has it that all the stores within a 100 mile radius of Plains GA are all out of "Thank You" cards. JC has bought them all up sending one daily to: President B. Obama, White House Washington DC(whoever that is).

**Thumbody** Yeah, Jimmy was a real idiot alright. He had a vision for a national energy policy that in hindsight would have done a lot to address our energy dependance on foreign oil. He had the audacity to ask for short term sacrifices for long term benefits.

God bless Jimmy Carter. Mean spirited ppl will diss him, but what former president has actually been a force for the elimination of disease in Africa besides him? He is a true Christian.

As for Jimmy Carter, it's interesting that his initials mirror another misguided individual that tried to change a system for the good of humanity. He was probably the most philanthropic and Christian president in applying his ideals within his approach to leading the country…JC's ideas were too idealistic and niave for the environment he was in. Too bad this stuff won't play in Washington, or the world at large

It's great that Romney picked Ryan. When they lose in November, the tea party will be shown to be nothing more than a paper tiger. A paper tiger full of hate at their ever-shrinking universe as society moves on without them.

Hmm Start a recession, lose 9 million jobs, out a spy working on behalf of the government, fooled or lied into a war, fund a medicare benefit without proper funding, made america hated around the world, passed up on getting bin laden…..Yeah I think Pres George W Bush was without a doubt the worse ever.

To all of those middle class Republicans out there, If you can't figure out that Romney/Ryan will be Bush/Cheney all over again, then you deserve what you might get for the next 4 years. Not that I believe that Romney will be the next President. He seems to put his foot in his mouth even more than Bush did. Not easy to do!!!

After I got up from the floor drained and hoarse from laughing so hard, I thought I take a little energy and mention the Department of Energy – a bureaucratic train wreck and bloated dumbocracy formed by the Carter Administration to "free America from foreign oil dependency and become energy independent."
That was in 1974 – 38 years ago. Hmm, how's that going? What were his "short-term sacrifices?" Were you of aged to have been able to follow his idiocy in 1974? If so that means that you must be at least in your late 50's and should know not to double up on your Vicotin just before writing on blogs!

A Challenge to all the Socialist blogging here:
Should Barack Hussein bin Obama win re-election again, who is he then going to blame for "the poor economy and debt he has inherited from his predecessor? You know the one he inherited…from 2008-2012?
Oh, geez, that's right! It will still be George Bush. A good Community Organizer has been taught by Saul Alinsky to never admit fault for anything; blame someone – anyone, for you shortcomings.

OK, Socialists! Here's your CHALLENGE #2 for today;
Your "ANOINTED ONE has been crusading and whining about the need to raise taxes – particularly on those who are successful and, therefore, rich. He says that's not right. They should "pay their fair share" (read: provide the Obama Administration more money to buy votes and stay in power). He has caused a chasm in the American public that now pits those who pay the elephant's share (pun intended) vis-à-vis those who pay little or none at all. With this background, you socialists scratch your heads and answer these short questions:
(1)In your individual opinion, what is the "Fair Share" percent over and above the 38+% those filthy successful millionaires should now pay in federal taxes? A number from 0 to 100, please);
(2) Would you now explain, in 50 words or less, how you arrived at that percent over and above what they now pay?
(3) BONUS: If the Republicans agree to raise the tax burden on those filthy rich millionaires (read: Republicans), will you and other Socialists agree that those who now pay nothing in Federal taxes should pay a fair share? I have a number in mind.
These questions should be no-brainers for you, but then I presupposed that you, well, you know, like maybe HAVE a brain?

Mitt just gave away Florida. All the Seniors are on Medicare and Medicaid.
My proud 80 year old former Marine Aunt had me help her apply for SNAP in South Carolina, because she can't make it anymore on her $1,200 Social Security, Medicare, VA health benefits. She got turned down because South Carolina said she makes to much. She told me she made the mistake of telling them she occasionally still takes a private duty patient. Yes, she was one of those nurses in the Korean war. So at 80 and a breast cancer survior she is still forced to take some private duty nursing patients, since she doesn't have a VA retirement, she doesn't have a retirement from a hospital. Remember nurses have always pretty much been contract workers. That is why they could raise 6 kids like she did. The only thing she is lucky about that she has a lower copay through the VA for prescriptions, She is still paying $100 or so for Medicare another $120 for a supplementaly policy. But with Romney and Ryan's voucher progam being a cancer survivor she would not be able to get insurance for a $8K voucher. How would she live on the realitively high $1,200 in Social Security retirement. My mother has less, she has to eat at my sisters every day.
My Aunt already began her campaign through the VFW in SC against Mitt in SC back in July, I am sure now that he foolishly selected Ryan she will be on the phone and down at the VFW even more.

Dear 20/20,
I stopped reading your ( long winded) response when you seemed to imply that those tax taxpayers
in the 38% bracket actually PAY anywhere near 38% of their income in taxes. The great American tax myth. We all know that is a joke. We should talk about NET taxes paid.
August 11th, 2012
7:16 pm
Living in…
(1) see this website I used (below)-It is non-partisan and uses IRS data.. The actual amount (rounded) is 37%. I never said the filthy successful millionaires (read: Republican) pay 38% of their AGI. What I DID NOT say or imply was that they pay 38% of their adjusted gross income in taxes. Their1% group paid over 37% of all taxes collected.You were in such a da** hurry to criticize that you skipped over that so you could show that your IQ is just about the same as plant life.
According the NPU study – from IRS records (see URL), the top 1% of earners paid 36.73% of ALL COLLECTED TAXES. Interestingly, the 50% of "bottom-feeders" pay a scant 2.25% of all collected taxes.
BTW: did you participate in the siege of the State Capitol and join the other idiots in screaming, ranting, shouting, pushing, threatening, singing (I use that term loosely)? Did you join in the chorus of "Solidarity Forever?" Jesus, what losers!
Go back and join your union thuggies and continue to destroy Wisconsin.

I wish the AJC would just change their name to something more glorifying of their not-so-hidden Pro-Obama, Pro-Liberal agenda. Not sure why I still bother coming here after canceling the sub long ago. (shoutout to Miss Tucker for that)

Obama ain't all that bad but I still ain't gonna vote for him. Romney has a better shot at getting the economy going. We really could use some gun control in this country. We also could use some high taxes for the rich. Wouldn't hurt to have the government step in and tax Sodas. After spending some time in Europe they definitely have a better way of life. We are an economic power but the is NO such thing as the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. You people that say that nonsense have not ever been anywhere besides Mexico or the Caribbean usually.
Oh and Obama slipped up and said there were 51 states once so don't make too much out of Romney's gaffe.

I personally am not a fan of a President, or anyone else, who favors taking more from successful
business people in order to give to,those that won't work…..note I didn't say CAN'T work, I said WON'T. There's a difference.
With that said, I'd like to see a Presidential race with a concentration on issues and how each candidate would address them, not whether a candidate paid enough taxes or if another was born in the US. This type of slander, from both sides, leaves us voting for a Commander in Chief based on which side was able to tell the best lies about the other.
Pollyanna-ish, I realize. But without starting somewhere, the partisan bias will continue to chip away
at our fabric, with disastrous results.

Romney and Republicans ingeneral are a bunch of "rich-get-richer" hoodlums. The Bushes have sent this country to the toilet and have NOOOOO modern, sustainable track record of helping the poor or maintaining the middle class or creating jobs. They just like to spew hate. @republicanssuck

Is Grad School Worth It? Five Degrees That Are
Want to take the next step in your professional life? These five master's degree programs could be well worth the time and money.
To go to grad school, or not to go: that is the question that many bachelor's degree-holders face. And while some top positions might require a master's, the actual benefits of an advanced degree might be less apparent for other career paths.
In fact, in January 2012, a report from Georgetown University based on the most recent U.S. Census, "Hard Times, College Majors, Unemployment, and Earnings: Not All College Degrees Are Created Equal," found that graduate degree holders had only slightly lower unemployment rates at 3 percent versus than those with a bachelor's only, at 5 percent.
So to help you figure out if a master's might be worth pursuing, we did some digging for you. We talked to career experts who weighed in on certain degrees that might be worth it, and reasons why you may want to think carefully about pursuing others. Keep reading to find out more.
Degree #1: Master's in Health Care Administration (MHA)
Maybe you already work in health care on the clinical side, but envision your next move to be toward administration or management. Would going back to school to earn a master's in health care administration be a smart move?
Tim Dugger, a longtime career coach at Career Café, a provider of one-on-one career coaching programs, certainly thinks it would be.
"If you have a clinical background, this is definitely a degree that is going to enhance your career," says Dugger. "The general business education topics contained in these programs, coupled with the increased knowledge of hospital and practice operations make this one a clear winner, both personally and financially."
Dugger also says that a master's in health care administration is the perfect complement to those seeking career advancement in the medical field, or an enhanced skill set for running their own practice.
Next step: Click to Find the Right Health Care Administration Program.
Potential Career Path: Medical or Health Services Manager
Median Annual Salary*: $88,580
Top 10 Percent of Earners: $150,560
Bottom 10 Percent of Earners: $53,940
While a bachelor's degree is required to pursue a career as a medical and health services manager, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, master's degrees in health services, long-term care administration, public health, public administration, or business administration are also common.
The Department of Labor also says that if you already work in the medical field, a master's in health services administration or a related field could be necessary to move into more advanced positions. For example, if you're a registered nurse, this degree could help prepare you to pursue a position as a nursing service administrator, according to the Department.
Degree #2: Master's in Psychology and Counseling
Have you always had a knack for listening to your friends' problems and helping them work out a potential solution? If you already have a bachelor's, you may want to think about enrolling in a master's program in psychology and counseling.
But is it worth the time, money, and commitment?
Dugger says yes. "In areas such as mental health, marriage and family counseling, industrial and organizational psychology, therapy, and counseling, a master's degree is the entry-level ticket to admission in this high-growth field," he says.
Next step: Click to Find the Right Psychology and Counseling Program.
Potential Career Path: Marriage and Family Therapist
Median Annual Salary*: $46,670
Top 10 Percent of Earners: $75,120
Bottom 10 Percent of Earners: $25,540
You'll need that shiny new master's degree in counseling or marriage and family therapy for this career, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Marriage and family therapy programs typically teach students how different types of relationships function, and how they affect mental and emotional disorders. They also say that you'll need to be licensed - which in addition to the master's degree, requires two years of supervised clinical practice.
Degree #3: Master's in Business Administration
Do you work in business, but feel you've hit the proverbial ceiling at your current position? Earning a master's degree in business administration - or an MBA - could be just what you need to get a leg up.
But not all MBAs and career paths are created equal, and Dugger explains why: It all depends on your area of expertise, he says. "In general, undergraduate technical degrees (in areas like science, tech, engineering, or math) married with some kind of graduate business education can create a well-rounded and more promotable individual. For these people, an MBA is a powerful career enhancer."
But if you're not in a technical field - don't fret. Dugger says you could still do well with an MBA if you look specifically at a concentration in finance.
"I've seen this degree make the difference in numerous hiring situations. Finance done right is a 'big picture' field and so it only makes sense that a finance MBA with its broad focus is viewed as an asset by hiring managers," he says.
Next step: Click to Find the Right MBA program.
Potential Career Path: Financial Analyst
Median Annual Salary*: $88,580
Top 10 Percent of Earners: $150,560
Bottom 10 Percent of Earners: $53,940
While you may be qualified to pursue this gig with a bachelor's degree in a field like accounting, economics, or business administration, many employers now require an MBA, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Additionally, The Department of Labor says an MBA or a master's in finance can improve your chances of advancing to positions like portfolio manager, in which you might oversee a team of analysts. Another career you could advance to with a master's is fund manager, in which you would be in charge of big portfolios for single investors.
Degree #4: Master's in Public Administration (MPA)
Do you pride yourself on keeping up on government and always have a finger on the political pulse? If you dream of entering the world of politics yourself one day, earning your master's degree in public administration could set you up to pursue a high-powered career in the political system.
But do you really need that master's degree to snag your dream job? According to Dugger, yes.
"Most people pursuing this degree are seeking a career in some area of government. This is yet another degree that can be a significant contributing factor in a person's advancement potential within government roles," notes Dugger.
There is one caveat, however: If you ever want to switch career tracks and transition out of government, this degree could hold you back - in terms of both general preparedness and marketability, says Dugger. That's because it may be more difficult for employers to relate to the skill set this degree may have given you.
Next step: Click to Find the Right Public Administration Program.
Potential Career Path: Political Scientist
Median Annual Salary*: $102,000
Top 10 Percent of Earners: $155,490
Bottom 10 Percent of Earners: $49,290
You'll need at least a master's to pursue this career, since the U.S. Department of Labor lists a master's degree or Ph.D. in public administration, political science, or a related field as a requirement for this career track. Most students in an MPA, Master of Public Policy (MPP), or Master of Public Affairs program can choose a specific area of interest, says the Department of Labor. And political scientists with a master's degree could also qualify for teaching positions at community colleges, the Department notes.
Degree #5: Master's of Science in Nursing
You may be thinking that you don't need a master's degree to pursue a career as a nurse - and you'd be right. But did you know that in some states, nurse practitioners with a master of science in nursing can perform many of the same functions as a physician - including physical exams and writing prescriptions?
It's true, says Joe Weinlick, vice president of marketing at Beyond.com, a career network website that helps people grow and succeed professionally. And earning a graduate degree in nursing could pave the way to new job prospects, he says.
"Nurses don't necessarily need a master's degree to find good jobs - but getting a master of science in nursing (MSN) can open up additional doors and opportunities," he says.
For example, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) says that a job as a nurse practitioner can be highly rewarding and also pays as much as 50 percent higher than a registered nurse. And Weinlick agrees, but says you'll need to hurry to cash in. "Today an RN can become a nurse practitioner in most states by obtaining an MSN. Starting in 2015, a Doctor of Nursing Practice will be required, according to the AACN," he adds.
Next step: Click to Find the Right Nursing Program.
Potential Career Path: Nurse Practitioner
Median Annual Salary*: $89,960
Top 10 Percent of Earners: $120,500
Bottom 10 Percent of Earners: $64,100
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, you'll need a master's degree to move forward in your career to a position as an advanced practice registered nurse - which includes nurse practitioners. And here's an important point: In addition to earning your MSN, you must also be licensed as an RN, the Department says.

An Indiana man got married to the woman who donated a kidney to him.
He was 19 and she was 22 when they met three years ago and she immediately decided to give him her kidney.

In his eight seasons at United, Vidic won five league titles and the Champions League. Before the match, he said, 'I have no regrets. I have given this club 100 per cent. It has been a great eight years, or a great seven years because at the moment we are not doing so well.' Manchester United interim manager Ryan Giggs left Vidic out of the starting line-up, putting both himself and Vidic on the bench. Giggs hasn't made up his mind about whether he will continue playing for another season so it could be his last game at Old Trafford as well - if he puts himself on of course… United named two debutants in the starting line-up, 20-year-old Tom Lawrence and striker James Wilson. Here is Wilson battling for the ball with Hull City's Alex Bruce as the match gets underway Phil Jones holds his shoulder after sustaining an injury in a collision with Maynor Figuero. This could be bad news for both Manchester United and England with Roy Hodgson naming his 30-man squad on Monday But it does mean that Nemanja Vidic comes on for his final game at Old Trafford Debutant James Wilson scores the opening goal after Adnan Januzaj's free kick is headed across the box by Fellaini at the far post The debutant celebrates with Vidic Adnan Januzaj has been the main attacking force for Manchester United.

"African governments and business leaders alike need to realize the way in which they are promoting their countries is absolutely crucial for attracting and retaining both domestic and foreign investment, and the Brand Investment Survey and Index aims to highlight just this," said Hubert Danso, vice chairman and managing director at Africa investor.
In view of the forthcoming World Economic Forum (WEF), this groundbreaking research highlights political stability, economic growth prospects and currency stability as the top three perception investment attributes.
According to the poll, Africa was considered the third most attractive investment destination after Southeast Asia and India. Unsurprisingly, South Africa emerged as the preferred investment destination, and Somalia was ranked to have the worst investment brand on the continent. With 60% of those surveyed saying they rely on professional advisors as sources of information when exploring investment opportunities, many also felt that African governments are not doing enough to promote the region as an investment destination.
The issues highlighted around Africa's investment brand have much to do with political stability and regulatory practice. The Index also revealed that the majority of respondents feel that Africa will improve its investment brand profile over the next 12 months. "Africa has a great opportunity to harness the goodwill from the investment community to position brand Africa as a globally competitive investment destination. The continent has made great strides implementing a raft of regulatory reforms to ensure it is business friendly and it's up to governments to commission adequate resources to communicate effective in today's competitive and complex global investment information environment," says Danso.
"We wanted to first to understand the strength of the African investment brand in a competitive context, to establish the images associated with that brand, and to find out the positive or negative brand images attached to particular African countries," adds Doug de Villiers, CEO of Interbrand-Sampson, which ran the survey in partnership with Africa investor.

Trials Evolution: Origin of Pain looks awesome. Like trade-in-your-AAA-title-for-MSP awesome. But for all that awesome the details of what it contains haven't been highly publicized. Sure, everyone's covered the obligatory "Here's an announcement" post, but most of those didn't go into much detail as to what the DLC will actually contain. We did some digging, and here's what we know so far. There's also a screenshot gallery and a summary at the bottom of the preview, so be sure to hit the jump for all the dirt.
Origins of Pain takes place on an all-new island–one that is 4km x 4km in size. It's massive. By comparison the island that was shipped with the game is only 2km x 4km. We're getting double the sandbox. Twice the playground. Two times the… well, you get the point. 36 new Trials tracks challenge players on this massive battlefield, and RedLynx once again shows us just what the in-game editor can do with a little imagination. Settings span from a circus to an aircraft graveyard. And it won't be just Trials tracks. 10 new Supercross courses and an unknown number of Skill Games will be included. One image given to select press showed the rider grappling along a la Bionic Commando. Hold your girlish squeals in. There's more.

Rangers General Manager Glen Sather has a knack for picking real talent. Sure, there are hits and there are misses, but when he finds a diamond in the rough, or several gems all at once, it's difficult to say which one gets the nod. Sometimes all of the hot talent shows up all at once.
That seems to be the case this year in this year's Rangers camp.
There are more than a couple of players looking to gain a spot this year on the New York Rangers. Ruslan Fedetenko and Pavel Valentenko have looked amazing along with Derek Stepan. Throw Sean Avery onto their line and they were able to capture two goals and four assists between the four of them in the Rangers' 5-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings Wednesday night.
"It was like getting a monkey off my back," Stepan said of getting his first goal. "I was kind of gripping the stick a little tight, so it felt good to finally tap one in."
"I felt more comfortable on the line," he said of centering the Avery-Fedetenko line. "We clicked well. We played really well."
Stepan, who is only 20 years old, has all of the right credentials to go along with his amazing performance so far this preseason. His father, Brad, was drafted by the Rangers in the 1985 NHL Entry Draft. He attended the elite school of hockey, Shattuck-Saint Mary's (which boasts former graduates Zach Parise, Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews). He even captained the United States to the gold medal in the 2010 World Junior Championships.
Shattuck Saint-Mary's has seen their graduates lead their teams to the highest level of NHL success around. Two graduates have captained their team to the Stanley Cup in the last two years (Toews, 2010 and Crosby, 2009). Four graduates won a medal at the 2010 Olympics: two gold (Toews, Crosby) and two silver (Parise and Jack Johnson).
With credentials from one of the top hockey schools in the country, along with one gold medal under his belt captaining Team USA at the World Championships, Stepan could be the next big thing in the NHL. It could lead to a Stanley Cup like the last two Shattuck graduates that were chosen as captains of their NHL teams.
If anything, he has a lot of people back home in Minnesota that are cheering him on. They're all hoping he makes the club (even if they can't watch the Rangers games back in Minnesota).
Fedetenko, who was originally rumored to be vying for Avery's spot, has been a compliment to Avery's wonders on the ice. So far this preseason, he has tied for the top spot with five points alongside Michael Del Zotto and Alexander Frolov. Marian Gaborik follows with four points. Stepan and Ryan Callahan follow with three points. Fedetenko and Stepan are the two leading the pack in forwards that are looking to make the Rangers roster this season.
Another defenseman looking to make the club is Mike Sauer. He tallied his first goal of the preseason last night.
"I just made sure I showed up and did what I could do best," Sauer said. "I got that opportunity and I capitalized, so that's good."
"I'm not too worried about it," he said of possibly not being picked for the roster. "If they send me down…obviously there's that possibility, but I gotta make sure that I keep going the way I am and make sure I get better every day."
There have been only three defensemen that have scored goals this preseason: Sauer, Del Zotto and Matt Gilroy. All three have received positive marks from coach John Tortorella.
Because of how well the remaining prospects are doing, there will not be another cut from the Rangers roster, yet. It's really tough to pick and choose which one to release and send down when they are all giving such great performances.

Press Pass: Kill Screen Seeks to Redefine the Videogame Magazine
The idea behind the next great experiment in reviving the American videogame magazine didn't come from the board room of a powerhouse publishing giant. It wasn't spun off from an existing lifestyle magazine or adapted from a successful Web property. It wasn't the product of a focus group or a marketing survey or a know-nothing middle manager trying in vain to capture younger readers by focusing on a medium he knows nothing about.
Instead, Kill Screen magazine started out as the subject of idle chatter over Indian food.
None of the game journalists and developers that came together at San Francisco's New Delhi restaurant during the Game Developers Conference 2009 knew that they'd be helping to create a new game magazine that night.
"We started up this conversation at the end of the table, talking about how a lot of long-format [writing] about gaming didn't really exist the way that we had hoped," recalled Jamin Brophy-Warren, then a reporter on videogames for the Wall Street Journal, now a freelancer and Kill Screen's publisher. "You would see it here and there ... but by and large big publications, particularly ones that fund long-format journalism, didn't really have an eye for games. They either didn't really care about them or maybe they didn't think their readers were interested in them. We felt like there was a real gap."
Freelancer and Kill Screen Managing Editor Chris Dahlen remembers being similarly frustrated with the way the mainstream magazines treat longer, more thoughtful pieces about videogames. "I've written for the mainstream press a lot, and I enjoy that, but you always have to cross that hurdle of explaining what gaming is and why someone cares," he said. "We were thinking it would be nice to have a journal that, from the start, just took that seriously to provide the same kind of venue for a nice print experience for longer pieces and magazine-style writing."
After months of work by Dahlen, Brophy-Warren and writers with credits ranging from the New Yorker to "The Daily Show," Kill Screen is finally set to be that venue. The first issue, which Dahlen says is "within days" of being sent to the printers, certainly seems far removed from the next-big-thing obsessions that drive most consumer-focused game magazines. Articles in the premiere issue of Kill Screen include an in-depth look at the artificial intelligence behind an Air Traffic Control simulator, a remembrance of a decade-old first-playthrough of the original Resident Evil, and a rumination on brotherly gaming in a frat house -- pieces that seem more at home in GQ or Esquire than Game Informer or GamePro.
Dahlen says he thinks there is an untapped market for a magazine devoted to game writing that's intelligent but not pretentious. "We're not trying to fill the thing with a lot of pictures of videogame-character boobs or anything, [but] I don't think we're going to be mistaken for an academic journal," he said. "I think there's a market for people who see gaming as a form of culture, and something a little more than just what the major publishers push and the same sort of screenshots for Modern Warfare 2. ... I definitely think there's not only an audience, but a big need for intelligent writing and for a sense of culture around gaming."
Dahlen also says he sees Kill Screen as an opportunity to give game makers the attention they deserve. "[Kill Screen has] some good developer interviews and some good developer profiles beyond, y'know, the Q&A about what graphics cards you support," he said. "It seems like, in other fields, you can get access to musicians, you can get access to directors; and with game designers, the really key people are still behind the scenes and you don't get to hear from them. You don't really see interviews with people where you get what really makes them tick."
While Dahlen acknowledges that these kinds of thoughtful, considered pieces of game writing have started to find a home on certain corners of the Internet, he and Brophy-Warren were out to create something slower and more permanent with Kill Screen. "There's a way to publish [serious gaming content] online, but at the same time it's great to have a print magazine that doesn't have to be quite as timely, that can run a 3,000-word piece more comfortably, that can have the art and other support to make a really nice product that you can own and hold and put on your coffee table," he said.
It sounds like a fine idea for GDC dinner chatter, but one that seemed unlikely to find real-world funding in a market where even long-running magazines are losing readers and struggling to stay afloat. So Dahlen and Brophy-Warren looked to an unorthodox funding source for their magazine, a Web site called Kickstarter that lets users pool small donations into the larger sums needed to get big projects off the ground. Users could donate anywhere from $3 for a PDF copy of Kill Screen's first issue to a $1,000 donation package that included homemade pancakes, cookies and cake from Dahlen and Brophy-Warren (no one took them up on this offer, unfortunately).
The pair set up the Kickstarter page in August, looking for $3,500 to fund their first issue. By the end of November, they had raised nearly $6,000 from 160 initial backers.
Brophy-Warren said he was surprised and encouraged by the level of support offered up through Kickstarter. "It's not like half.com or Amazon, where you set your price and then you just get a single product," he said. "There were people who were investing in this because they believed it was a good idea. It wasn't surprising to me that people would pay $20 to get a magazine -- that was not outside the realm of believability -- but that someone would donate [$100 or $500] to help us get this thing printed, and there wasn't even necessarily going to be a direct return on it. That sort of gift was inspiring."
But despite this kind of generosity, and a relatively high $20 price for a single issue, Kill Screen isn't exactly starting off as a gold mine. The writers and founders are all working pro bono to help get the first issue off the ground, a situation Brophy-Warren says won't last. "Yes, we want to pay writers," he said. "I don't think you can get people to produce high-quality work forever. ... I think that, long term, provided that people are subscribing and we end up with a really healthy subscriber base, our margins should be pretty good, presuming we produce a high-quality product."
And it's that high-quality, ad-free product that Brophy-Warren says will set Kill Screen apart from other magazines and the free content on the Internet. "We're placing value in the physical product," he said. "The reason the price point is high is because we'd like to see this as something of high value. ... If you establish a connection with readers early on and say, 'Look, there's this contract we have with you. If you give us a certain amount of money, we always promise we'll deliver a high-quality product. When advertisers get in the mix, it doesn't always work that way, because I know my bill is paid. Most publications don't make money from subscriptions; it comes from advertisers, so your responsibility is to advertisers and not necessarily to subscribers."
While Brophy-Warren says he'll be happy to move the 1,500 printed copies of the first issue, he sees the market for Kill Screen as potentially being much bigger. "Our goal is to take a cut of the six million people that play Modern Warfare," he said." If five percent of the six million people that bought that game in the first month are interested at all in having a deeper, more nuanced conversation about videogames, that would make me tremendously, tremendously happy, and I think that's a pretty reasonable goal."

I don't think he'll be at all bothered about roughing up the big boys. That race last season where he started at the back and bullied his way through to win, gave us a pretty good indication of how he is.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Brat Days continues on in Sheboygan through Saturday at Kiwanis Park. One of the new attractions this year is a chance to possibly win a national contest courtesy of Johnsonville Brats.
When appearing on "Sheboygan's Morning News" Thursday, event spokesperson Kelly Fairchild said it all about the company's promotion song "Don't Pierce the Brat." A video on Youtube show the Brattender singing his 80's rock ballad song, advising people not to let the juices from within the brat leak out before eating. People can submit their own music video of the song, with one selected to receive five thousand dollars and a year supply of brats.
Fairchild says attendees will be able to submit their entry while at Brat Days as Johnsonville will have a karaoke booth set up from 9 to 2 Saturday. Also those who submit a video will receive a free t-shirt.
Videos will be judged based on originality, quality, and promotion of Johnsonville Brats. Those who can't make this opportunity will still have a chance to submit a video online through August 30.

Perhaps you are talking about the Argentina Nobel Peace Prize winner, Adolfo Perez Esquivel, who was arrested and tortured during the "dirty" war and has nothing but praise for the Pope?
Perhaps you should be the one to do a thorough and complete background investigation before making such an unsubstantiated statement in a not so subtle attempt to denigrate the Pope.

Travel to two chic French cities for a bargain price this spring. This offer from iDBUS gets you a ticket on one of its deluxe coaches for £19, a 62% saving on the usual cost.
The routes on offer are London to Paris for £19 and London to Lyon for £29. This offer is valid for departure from 18-27 March; 2-11 April.
Taking coach travel to the next level, the iDBUS vehicles are built with fewer seats to create more space for passengers -- there's a minimum of 84cm between each row of seats. The seats not only recline, but also come with an adjustable foot rest, a personal reading shelf and an integrated cup holder. Free Wi-Fi is included, each seat has its own electrical outlet and there's a real-time journey tracker on the iDBUS information screens.
About the destinations: Top Paris attractions -- the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower -- have been tempting tourists for years, but we'd also recommend an afternoon of taste-testing macarons at Ladurée and a wander around artsy Montmartre at dusk.
Lyon is often referred to as the food capital of France. While the city is undoubtedly "famed for its Michelin-starred restaurants", according to The Daily Telegraph), this gastronomic hub also offers Renaissance-era architecture, a lively cultural scene and boutique shopping -- especially for silk goods.

Unexpected Outages
My Power's Out, But Where's the Storm?
Most power outages are weather-related and caused by severe storms, but power outages can happen at any time - even when the weather seems perfect.
Outages can be caused by traffic accidents, construction work, equipment failures and even animals. Yes, squirrels, birds, snakes, raccoons and other critters have interfered with Ameren equipment and caused power outages!
Sometimes these outages can be very short - so short that you may not notice them. Called
momentary outages
, the lights may flicker and you may need to re-set your digital clocks. Momentary outages typically occur when our automated equipment detects a potentially serious condition and temporarily breaks the flow of electricity, which protects essential parts of our delivery system from possible damage.

Betsy Mercer woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a text message and read that an armed robber could be on the loose in her Gilmer County, Ga., neighborhood.
"There's been a break-in and shooting within Coosawattee River Resort," the text message read.
Jumping to her feet, Mercer and her husband ran to lock the doors and windows to their house in the peaceful gated community.
Hours after the alert went out across the 5,550-acre resort early Wednesday morning, neighbors began hearing that the robbery was a hoax.
Police said they believe 76-year-old Donald Bossa tied himself up and pretended he had been robbed to cover up the killing of his wife, Barbara.
Bossa later confessed to the slaying and was charged with murder, Gilmer County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Frank Copeland said.
The Bossas were married for 20 years and had moved from Florida to their house on Eagle Mountain Drive about five years ago, Copeland said.
Investigators still are trying to determine what led to the killing.
Police believe Barbara Bossa was killed before 4 a.m. Her husband then drove a little more than a mile to Flat Creek Baptist Church where he parked his car, tied himself up and walked to a nearby neighbor's house to call 911, Copeland said.
He told dispatchers two white men had broken into his house and kidnapped him, Copeland said. He told them to check on his wife.
Investigators found his wife dead and Donald Bossa still tied up at his neighbor's house, Copeland said. But as they began to look through the couple's house, Bossa's story didn't add up, Copeland said.
Gilmer County Coroner Jerry Hensley said Wednesday that the cause of death is under investigation. The autopsy report wasn't complete Wednesday evening.
Donald Bossa is being held in the Gilmer County Jail, authorities said. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation also is investigating the case.
Joy Lukachick is the city government reporter for the Chattanooga Times Free Press Since 2009, she's covered breaking news, high-profile trials, stories of lost lives and of regained hope and done investigative work. Raised near the Bayou, Joy's hometown is along the outskirts of Baton Rouge, La. She has a bachelor's degree in mass communication from Louisiana State University. While at LSU, Joy was a staff writer for the Daily Reveille. When Joy isn't chasing ...
Live in the same gated community. Cannot believe that THIS man did this BUT, guess we never really know our neighbors!
Certainly hope he hires a good attorney. Remember that he is innocent until proven guilty. But if he is guilty he concocted one elaborate scheme. Purple Law Firm attorneys practice criminal law in Chattanooga and surrounding Tennessee areas.

Mayhem #822673
Currently based in/'out of': Berlin. (Sometimes I don't reply to messages for over a week. I'm not ignoring you - I just alternate between full-on travelling and full-on admin.)
I have armpit hair now.
+++++ My grand UK tour is complete! Thank you everyone who fed, sheltered and photographed me. +++++
until Sept 29th: Cambridge/London (some availability)
Sept 30-late Nov: Berlin (much availability)
late Nov-early Dec: UK see details taking shape below
Nov 22. London (busy)
Dec 6. Cambridgeshire (booked)
early Dec onwards: Berlin (much availability)
Greetings. I'm a tree sprite who emerged from Great Britain and now darts around (mostly Northern) Europe providing the very important service of posing for artworks. I've quite some experience under my belt now, and my portfolio images here are henceforth ordered by year for your convenience. My style is eclectic and open-ended, so rather than try to sum it up in words I would just encourage you to have a quick skim through my pics. However, one or two statements can be made with certainty: Rebecca is not thrilled by lingerie, long silk gloves, or lying on grand pianos; she is easily thrilled by the challenge of depicting concepts, permission to jump into lakes, and clashing patterns.
~ Most of my work is in photographic modelling (digital and analogue), but I'm also available as a traditional artist's model: life classes, paintings, sketches, sculptures and the like.
~ Moving images: I've done a handful of abstract/conceptual short videos. You'll find some on Vimeo. I'm willing to branch out and push my boundaries in this genre. N.B. behind all the (so far) silent imagery, there lurks a perfectly usable voice, mid-alto in pitch with a fine-grained timbre and BBC English Wink.
~ Not all of my modelling is for aesthetic purposes! You might be surprised at the wide range of (very nerdy) scientific uses for a nude model. :-)
~ I'm very sure footed and love to clamber.
~ water is my element and brings out the best in me - be it in a river, the sea, a bathtub or a cup.
~ I'm not afraid to play ugly or scary characters.
~ they have called me...versatile. They have called me...'hot and cool'.
I can be hard, soft, distant, present, dynamic, still, haughty, fun, neutral, expressive, engaging, introspective, Eastern, Western, sincere, ironic, classic, modern, boyish, girly, childish, womanly, hatched, unhatched, hinged, unhinged, and sometimes you even get the choice between angelic and monstrous.
a note or two about my physical properties:
~ my mysteriously international looks can be put to a wide range of uses (can you guess my origins?)
~ my head hair is currently wavy ; I have pubic hair that comes and goes, and armpit hair that makes seasonal appearances. If you want something specific please consult me well in advance.
~ my physique has ranged from spindly to somewhat padded: it's currently at a happy medium ; prominent ribs are a permanent feature, body-fat notwithstanding.
~ I have notably googly eyes which can look at the camera from many different directions due to being largely outside my face.
~ both my face and my rear when viewed in profile are possessed of a satisfying if petite nubian grandeur, if I may say so myself (sadly the same can't be said for my arms, which frankly make me look like Gollum on a diet).
~ when I retreat into my cave I revert back into a gorilla and spend 80% of my free time engaged in painstaking hair-removal rituals. As a result I can never expect to have flawless skin, having regularly ravaged every fiendish follicle. On top of that, I'm very prone to insect bites, bruises, sun rash and all manner of spectacular surface irritations when modelling in the great outdoors. But don't worry - wherever possible, working around my imperfections is my job, not the photographer's.
~ to end on a neutral note, I'm proud to present one feature that has never drawn positive or negative appraisal: my entirely nondescript nose. It really holds the rest of my face together.
~ anatomical explicitness: I don't shoot nudes. Only joking. I don't hide any of the outside of my body, and will adopt 'open leg' poses as and when I see fit. (Besides, one tends to get more than one bargained for when it comes to my so-called 'pudenda' because I've got, as I like to say, a fanny like a baboon on heat.)
~ sexual explicitness: discuss with me.
~ 'messy' shoots: I do love mud, clay, paint and sand. I don't want to cover myself in foodstuffs.
~ notable inabilities: please note that I can't open my eyes under water, dive, stand en pointe, cartwheel, quickly distinguish left from right, wink, whistle, yell, look angry, or look good in a swimming cap.
Booking me:
- If possible, please send me information about the date, location and theme of the shoot and links to your work.
- I really appreciate it when photographers send me informative (but concise), polite and logical communications, well in advance of the proposed shoot date.
- You need to be able to provide references if I'm working with you for the first time.
- I will say no to TF work 99% of the time, but you can still propose.
Things that will tempt me to TF: costumes, designers, hair stylists, high-end photomanipulation, publication.
- Travel: if you'd like me to travel a long way to shoot with you, then rather than just saying 'if you're ever heading my way...' it would be productive to go ahead and book me for a particular date so that I can plan a trip around it. Every tour has to start with a booking.
- compensation: message me for rates. Travel and accommodation need to be covered.
And lastly...
In this line of work I consider a model to be a type of artist, if I may shay sho myshelf. I'm deeply motivated by imagination and creativity, but also very technical in my approach. Through my career I get to learn so much from interesting people in different walks of life; every modelling experience I have contributes to making me a better and more understanding appreciator of art and its reasons. Nietzsche said that art is the proper task of life - I think I would agree if I knew the meaning of 'proper'.
In my role as a model I am particularly concerned (so far) with matters of - among other things - genre, motifs, allusions, conventions, myth, tropes, truth, accuracy, fiction, semiotics, surrealism, absurdity, authenticity, illusion, emotion, logic, intelligibility, mystery, mood, manner, morphology, modality, and voice.
If you work with me you'll find that I'm serious, silly, and open-minded. If you have a vision that you think could involve me then - if I can - I would love to try and make it work.
P.S. regarding friend requests: I would prefer to have a friends list consisting almost entirely of people who intend to work with me in some way, so an accompanying message would be appreciated. Otherwise I will probably not accept the friend request. Thanks.
P.P.S. Dear UK photographers, grieve not over my absence for I leave with you two new ambassadors of the Tun dynasty, the exquisitely elegant singer/model Elena Tun, and the astoundingly athletic bodybuilder/model Gabriel Tun, highly recommended and endorsed by me as a photographer.
P.P.P.S. If you're curious...and even if you're not, I'm going to tell you this anyway: the strange captions on my pictures here...they're computer-generated.

A bespoke lounge suite, custom-made shoes, handcrafted ring or your own signature stamp. Among the mass-produced mayhem of Hong Kong, some of the best craftspeople in the world will create whatever you want.
The mechanised and computer-operated future defines the present within the shiny new glass-and-steel skyscrapers of Hong Kong's business districts. Lifts whoosh passengers up 50 storeys in three blinks, neighborhoods connect by a train system that you can set your watch by, shops sell the latest cutting-edge design, fashion and technology. However, there is a different world within this city of seven million: one of back-alley workshops and made-to-measure goods, exclusive salons and craftspeople hunched over work-tables creating that unique piece. Hong Kong nurtures a retail ecosystem thriving on craftsmanship and personalisation, far from robotic and yet so Hong Kong. Many of the established providers have for decades provided custom-made wares to the elite of the former British colony. Several of the newer enterprises now run small factories across the border in mainland China. In a town where one can purchase nearly anything from the world's mega-brands, why seek the painstakingly unique? Because, for many, personalisation remains the ultimate luxury. The beauty of custom-made in Hong Kong is that although it has long been part of the lifestyle of the super-rich, today there is a bespoke purveyor for nearly every budget. And, for the right price, many can ship your unique piece of Hong Kong back home.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A Milwaukee Democrat plans to introduce a bill next week to give his city a half-million dollars in state funds to help deal with a rash of shootings.
It would honor Mayor Tom Barrett's request for matching funds, after he gave Milwaukee Police a half-million dollars in city funds last week for more overtime.
State Representative Jon Richards says the city has done its part to pay for more policing, and he wants the state to meet Milwaukee halfway.
Governor Scott Walker opposes the extra state funding, saying it would lead to other Wisconsin mayors lining up for more cash.
GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has said he would consider Barrett's request, but he wants Milwaukee Police to improve its crime fighting efforts – which police officials say has already been done.
