Was Watch Dogs PC downgraded on purpose? Total Biscuit mulls the matter
Watch Dogs PC has been given a visual upgrade by a modder who has unearthed files within the game's code that – when fiddled with – can bring the game up to the standard of its original E3 2012 demo. Did Ubisoft downgrade the game on purpose? Allow Total Biscuit to address the subject.17

Chocolate. Just a whisper of that word makes me want to drool. Attractive picture, isn't it? Here's the thing, in my 'dream life' I want to open some sort of chocolate goodness store and let me tell you that chocolate syrup would be one of the best sellers. You love it, I love it, we all love it. Brandi sent over this great recipe for homemade chocolate syrup. It's just like Hershey's syrup only a very frugal version...and so stinkin' good.
{Homemade Chocolate Syrup} via Brandi M
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
1 cup Water
2 cups Sugar
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla
Mix the cocoa powder and water in a medium saucepan. Heat and stir to dissolve the cocoa. Add the sugar, stir to dissolve. Boil for 3 minutes over medium heat (just let it boil, stir maybe once or twice, if you must). Be careful not to let it get too hot and boil over! Turn off the burner and add the salt and the vanilla, stir to incorporate. Let cool, this will take a while (at least an hour or two). Pour into a clean glass jar, and store in the refrigerator. This will keep for several months, but ours NEVER lasts that long.
I have found that the longer it sits, the thicker it becomes. If you like your chocolate syrup thick, let it sit for a few hours. If you like it on the thinner side an hour should be good.
When you are ready to use, just grab a spoon and use about 2-4 tsps (depending on how chocolaty you like your milk). This is also great on top of ice cream and mixed in brownies before you place them in the oven.
I found this recipe on Pinterest, you can find the original here
Enjoy friends!

Get the old school low-down on Theseus's lousy treatment of the Amazonian Queen in this ancient text.
In this famous poem, originally written in Middle English, Hippolyta stands by Theseus's side as he deals with two love-struck knights. Hmmm, that's not the Hippolyta we know.
In Shakespeare's famous comedy, young lovers run into trouble with some fairies the night before Theseus and Hippolyta get married.
Shakespeare's riff on Chaucer's "Knight's Tale"—Theseus and Hippolyta included at no extra charge.
Hippolyta is Wonder Woman's butt kickin' mom in the world of DC Comics.
The Marvel Comics version of Hippolyta is no joke. In addition to her magic girdle, she has gauntlets of power, which give her some crazy strength.
In this campy but popular TV series, man-hating Hippolyta falls in love with Hercules, and Hera is not psyched about it.

Rock Island County Needs a New Courthouse
September 20, 2013
Build a new courthouse but keep the county office building - those are the recommendations from a special committee studying space and facility needs for Rock Island County. They were approved Thursday by the Ad Hoc Committee after several months of study.
Co-chair Brian Vyncke says committee members agreed the courthouse is too old and could not be renovated. And instead a new courthouse should be built directly behind it, to the west, and next to the justice center. But the office building can be saved.
"The consultant went through with some different contractors and said the building is actually in good condition. It needs quite a bit of updating but at least the structure itself is able to accomplish what we need."
A third recommendation from the committee is to keep the offices and courtrooms close together in downtown Rock Island.
"The concern was that if a person came to do county businesss and they ended up in the wrong location, that they would not have to re-direct them to another part of town. That everything is pretty much in walking distance from one another so that accomplished those things."
Vyncke says the next step is to meet with the consultant who's been working with the county, and discuss how a new courthouse could be connected with the justice center. Probably next spring, residents of Rock Island County will be asked to approve a funding plan for these projects.

The reason most people come to Koh Kong is for the border crossing with Thailand at Cham Yeam. It's a shame, however, that so few people hang around to enjoy the simple pleasures of the area – stunning virgin forests, pristine beaches, hidden waterfalls and white water rapids. At present limited access means that you're somewhat restricted in the amount of exploration you can do, though there's some indication that this may change, as a couple of Western-run establishments are now offering treks into the mountains and boat trips to Koh Kong island.
Koh Kong used to be a prosperous little logging town, though it's now lapsed into a quiet backwater, with an easy familiarity. Laid out on a simple grid on the east bank of the river, the town consists mostly of wooden houses whose style owes more to neighbouring Thailand – only a few are built on stilts in Cambodian style, and there's no colonial architecture at all.
The sights within town, such as they are, are all low-key. Locals will point you to the unexciting Red House, built for Norodom Sihanouk, who never visited it; it's a pleasant enough walk 1km north from the centre, along the river. A pleasant jaunt can be made across the river to Resort 2000, a weekend haunt for locals, where there are thatched huts, refreshment stalls and jet skis for hire. To get there, hire a motorbike or moto (about 40 baht) and look for a dirt road branching left about 1.5km beyond the bridge, from where it's another 2km to the beach.
A couple of small companies offer excursions to explore waterfalls upstream or the beaches on nearby Koh Kong island, which is a surprisingly large and attractive place, with pristine stretches of sand on its seaward side. The boat ride there takes about an hour.
Upriver from Koh Kong, it takes five minutes to reach a pagoda overlooking the river on the west bank, where rock paintings portray scenes of torture in hell, mixed up with what appear to be scenes of Khmer Rouge atrocities – the latter presumably painted quite recently, as this was Khmer Rouge territory until around 1997. As you journey further upstream, the imposing backdrop of the Cardamom Mountains comes into view. After about fifty minutes you'll reach a stretch of river between towering cliffs, where you can stop to take in a pounding waterfall and a stretch of rapids.Read More
Border scams
Border scams
Watch out for this scam at the border – the attempt to charge 1000 baht (around $30) or more for a Cambodian visa, with the excuse that "this is a land crossing, it's different". No it isn't! A Cambodian visa is $20 regardless of where or how you enter the country. If this happens to you demand a receipt; record the time, date and the name of the border official and report it, as soon as you get the opportunity, to the Ministry of Tourism (t023/212837, e[email protected]) and the Immigration Department (t012/581558).

Joan of Arc was burned as a heretic. Now she is a saint. How does the Roman Catholic Church explain this? It turned out that the Roman Catholic Church has murdered its own saint? Has any logical explanation ever been offered for this?
She was burned by the English clergy who denied her appeal to the Pope near the end of the Hundred Years War and she was cleared of all charges only 30 years after her death (even though it took almost 500 years to canonize her).
And yeah, there's been extensive research and analysis of what happened. The trial and the aftermath is all amazingly well documented and worth reading; or if you prefer historical fiction Mark Twain has an awesome book about her.
I'm no defender of the Roman Church, but if the Church is identified with Israel (which it is, the New Israel) it follows that it will be the one who kills the prophets, and then afterwards repents. I don't know how the Roman Church explains it given the particular theology surrounding the papacy, but in general the persons in the church from layman to highest bishop are all fallible.
In the history of the Church there have been good and bad leaders, and there have been saints who misunderstood and disliked each other (Cyril of Alexandria and John Chrysostom are a commonly-cited example.) In Athanasius' time, Athanasius was exiled and hounded countless times by the Church, but not because the Church was rejecting him, but because the leadership and others were fallible and didn't really understand what they were doing (to borrow Christ's words.)
Plus if I recall, the effects of Arius on the leaders there. He who 'deceived even the elect, if such a thing were possible.'

UPDATE: Senator Rand Paul ends a nearly thirteen hour filibuster blocking Senate confirmation of president's CIA nominee.
From www.nbcnews.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Pledging to speak "until I can no longer speak," Kentucky Republican Rand Paul on Wednesday launched a filibuster of the nomination of John Brennan to be the next CIA director, getting assists from a over half dozen other lawmakers over the course of hours standing on the Senate floor.
The traditional or "talking" filibuster -- dependent on one senator's control of the floor rather than a tally of votes -- continued into its eleventh hour after Democratic Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois objected to Paul's request that the Senate take up a non-binding sense of the Senate resolution stating that the U.S. government cannot target "noncombatants" with drones on American soil.

For this study, 200 women and men with a major mood disorder or schizophrenia were interviewed about their sexual and reproductive behaviors. The responses of the women and men were compared with those of persons from a national health survey who were matched for age and race. Compared with women from the national survey, women with mental illness had fewer pregnancies and live births but were more likely to have had a pregnancy that did not result in a live birth. Women with mental illness had more lifetime sexual partners. The findings suggest that clinicians should pay attention to patients' sexual and reproductive health.
Little information is available about the sexual and reproductive behaviors of persons with mental illness, despite the importance of such behaviors in determining social and emotional well-being. These behaviors also affect the need for health care services that are focused on sexually transmitted diseases, family planning, and childbearing (1,2,3).
Some evidence suggests that, compared with women without mental illness, women with schizophrenia are less likely to have a current sexual partner and are more likely to have a higher number of lifetime sexual partners and unwanted pregnancies (4). Most studies have found that women with schizophrenia have reduced fertility compared with women in the general population (4,5,6). The sexual and reproductive behaviors of women who have mood disorders have not been the focus of much systematic investigation.
Our study compared the sexual and reproductive behaviors reported by women and men who have mental illness with those by matched comparison groups from the general population. Also, within our study sample, we compared responses of individuals with schizophrenia and responses of those with a major mood disorder.
Participants were recruited from two outpatient psychiatric centers (one in an urban area and one in a suburban area) in the Baltimore region from March to December 2000 for a study about health behaviors among persons with mental illness (7). The sample was selected to enroll 100 individuals with schizophrenia and 100 individuals with a major mood disorder. A total of 200 of 275 eligible individuals (73 percent) provided written informed consent and completed an interview that included items about sexual and reproductive behaviors from the Third National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES III) (8), a survey that collects data from a representative sample of the U.S. population. Our study was approved by the institutional review boards of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the Sheppard Pratt Health System.
To compare responses from our sample with those from the general U.S. population, we selected comparison groups of women and men from the NHANES III data set (9) that were matched to study participants by age (within three years) and race. In most cases, 15 matches from NHANES III were found per study participant. Nine participants who were of Asian or Pacific-Islander or Native-American ethnicity could not be matched and were excluded from analyses. Responses from the study sample were compared with those from the NHANES III group by t test for continuous variables or by Mann-Whitney rank sum test for variables that had skewed distributions. Chi square tests were used for dichotomous variables. Correlation of outcomes across participants caused by common age or race classification was minimal; thus matched analysis results were nearly the same as unmatched analysis results.
To compare the responses from the schizophrenia and mood disorder groups, regression analyses were performed on each outcome variable by gender. In addition to diagnosis, variables included were race (Caucasian versus non-Caucasian), education (graduated from high school versus having less than a high school education), site (suburban versus urban), and age. Linear regression was used for continuous outcome variables, logistic regression for dichotomous variables, and negative binomial models for count variables.
The study sample consisted of 191 men and women with schizophrenia or a mood disorder. The study sample included 100 women with a mean±SD age of 45.1±9.6 years. Sixty-one percent (N=61) were Caucasian, 73 percent (N=73) were high school graduates, 64 percent (N=64) had been given a diagnosis of mood disorder, and 36 percent (N=36) had a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The 91 men in the sample had a mean age of 42.7±8.1. Fifty-six percent (N=51) were Caucasian, 72 percent (N=65) were high school graduates, 33 percent (N=30) had been given a diagnosis of a major mood disorder, and 67 percent (N=61) had a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The educational level of the women and men in our sample did not differ significantly from that of the individuals who were matched from the NHANES III.
As shown in t1, both the women and men in our sample were significantly less likely to ever have been married than those in the respective NHANES III comparison groups. Women with mental illness had more lifetime sexual partners than women in the comparison group; however, this comparison was not significant for men.
Compared with women from the national sample, fewer of the women with mental illness reported ever having been pregnant, and they reported having fewer pregnancies and live births. However, the proportion of women who had had a pregnancy that did not result in a live birth was significantly higher in the group with mental illness. No significant differences were found between the two groups of women in reported age at the time of first sexual intercourse or first live birth or in the proportion who had ever taken birth control pills.
Regression analyses within the study sample indicated that men who had been given a diagnosis of a mood disorder reported significantly more lifetime sexual partners than those who had been given a diagnosis of schizophrenia (incident rate ratio=2.54, 95 percent confidence interval=1.22, 5.26, p=.012). Diagnosis did not predict other outcomes when the analysis controlled for race, education, site, and age.
Our findings suggest gender differences in sexual behaviors among persons with mental illness. The women with mental illness, but not the men, reported having more partners than the comparison group. This finding may reflect the relatively chaotic pattern of sexual relationships and the high rate of nonconsensual sex that has been observed among women with mental illness (2,4). Our results highlight the need to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and victimization in this group.
The women with mental illness had fewer live births and were less likely to have been pregnant than women from the comparison group. These findings are consistent with those of some, but not all, studies indicating reduced childbearing among women with schizophrenia (4,5,6). Reduced pregnancy and childbearing may be related to the lower rate of marriage that we found in our sample or to the effects of psychotropic medications and the symptoms of psychiatric illness (5). Our study adds to the literature because of its consideration of a representative sample of outpatients in psychiatric treatment and the inclusion of women with major mood disorders.
The observation that women with mental illness were more likely than women in the comparison group to have a pregnancy that did not result in a live birth has not been previously reported. This finding is particularly striking given the lower number of pregnancies in the group with mental illness. We do not know whether the pregnancy losses were due to therapeutic abortions or spontaneous miscarriages. This issue merits further investigation.
Although a history of pregnancy was less common among women with mental illness, 75 percent of these women had been pregnant. Information was not available about the women's psychiatric status at the time of pregnancy, but we assume that many experienced psychiatric illness during their reproductive years. These results underscore the need for gynecologic and obstetric services for women with mental illness that promote healthy sexuality and that address the added problems of psychiatric symptoms and treatment.
Although the study sample and the comparison group were matched on demographic characteristics, our findings should be interpreted with caution given that the sample of persons with mental illness was drawn from two centers in one region and the NHANES III data set was from a national sample.
The sexual behaviors of persons with serious mental illness have implications for their emotional and physical well-being. Clinicians should pay attention to the sexual and reproductive health needs of persons with mental illness.

Don't shake martinis... stir!
At some point, will having the likker out on display become passe`?
I shouldn't think so,a drinks tray or bar cart is a fairly traditional item that I grew up with, well, a few yrs ago...
I don't think it will become passé. A bar cart is a fine solution for small-space dwellers without the room for a separate bar area.

- " This is not a hostel, this is a ZOO. First time in 7 months travelling I see a place where the most irrespectful people are members from the STAFF. They shouted, smashed doors just next to our dorm from midnight to 3am. When we asked them to stop coz we wanted to get some sleep, the girl shouting replied "I am from the staff" ... unbeleivable. Next day, when we complained, the manager replied "yes but it was for my birthday" ... even better. Those guys don't care about your sleep ... beware. "

Washington intends to buy 2,443, at a price tag of $382 billion.
Add in the $650 billion that the Government Accountability Office estimates is needed to operate and maintain the aircraft, and the total cost reaches a staggering $1 trillion.
In other words, we're spending more on this plane than Australia's entire GDP ($924 billion).

Node couchbase module on Ubuntu server 12.04 throws "Invalid ELF header" error
I'm trying to install a node app with couchbase on an Ubuntu server.
I have downloaded Couchbase and installed it from here (as listed on download page): http://packages.couchbase.com/releases/2.2.0/couchbase-server-enterprise...
I can access it via web interface, it works fine.
Next, I try to install couchbase node module via npm:
npm install couchbase --save
This completes successfully. However when I try to run my app (which works fine on my desktop Ubuntu) I get this error:
ubuntu@aws-box:~/project/$ node index.js /home/ubuntu/project/node_modules/couchbase/lib/binding.js:16 throw e; ^ Error: /home/ubuntu/project/node_modules/couchbase/prebuilt/win/x64/couchbase_impl.node: invalid ELF header at Module.load (module.js:349:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:305:12) at Module.require (module.js:357:17) at require (module.js:373:17) at bindings (/home/ubuntu/project/node_modules/couchbase/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:74:15) at tryLoadBinding (/home/ubuntu/project/node_modules/couchbase/lib/binding.js:13:31) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/ubuntu/project/node_modules/couchbase/lib/binding.js:30:17) at Module._compile (module.js:449:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:467:10) at Module.load (module.js:349:32)
What's going wrong?
prebuilt/win/x64/couchbase_impl for some reason your node is trying to load x64 blob for windows. maybe you should try to rebuild the module
I've made a patch that will stop it from erroring on the Windows binaries (http://review.couchbase.org/30889/). However, your system has an underlying issue that is causing it to fail to build the binary specific for your system. If you wouldn't mind, pastebin'ing the `npm install` command output so I can take a look.
1 Answer
Ensure that node-gyp works from your command-line before installing Couchnode. From what I can see, you may not have node-gyp available on the command line which is causing your systems couchnode build to fail.
Ok, I installed node-gyp globally. Calling it gives this output:
firstname.lastname@example.com /usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp firstname.lastname@example.com
I then re-installed couchbase locally in my project, and I still get the same error... Here's the update installation log file, if you need it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31550626/coucbase_install_log.txt
Would you be able to recommend something that I could try? I'm very new to node, and currently we are this one tiny step away from deploying the application. If I can't get the couchbase API working, we'll have to move to a different technology...
That was the input from installing node-gyp like so
npm install -g node-gyp. I initially installed node by downloading the linux 64bit package and running 'make' from nodejs.com. Is this the recommended place to get node from? I opted for downloading vs apt thinking that it'd be the latest working package... I'll try removing it and installing from apt maybe...
Thanks, I'll give it a go!
I finally have a working version - I have installed Bitnami's Ubuntu+nodeJs image which has preconfigured node. Also, my friends have confirmed that installing via package managers yielded success. So, in conclusion - use package managers, because the latest build may not work for the given OS :) Thank you for your time.

You're hired — again! Fourteen former Celebrity Apprentice contestants will return to the boardroom for the show's upcoming all-star season.
For a show that seems to be on every night, you may be surprised to hear that NBC's Deal or No Deal is only now hitting the 100-episode mark tonight at 8 pm/ET, with an outing that offers one past player a second chance to become a millionaire... or at the very least top the $10 he won the first time around.

When a temperamental actress walks off the set, director Viktor Taransky is in trouble so he decides to take matters into his own hands -- digitally, that is.
Critically acclaimed director Viktor Taransky (Academy award-winner Al Pacino - "The Godfather," "Scarface") has just lost his last shot at a comeback when his temperamental flesh and blood actress walked off his movie. Fired by his ex-wife and studio head, Taransky just lost any hope of recapturing his former life. But then computer genius Hank Aleno enters the picture. As his dying wish, Hank bequeaths software to Taransky that will change his life forever. Just a few key strokes and an overnight sensation is born: S1MØNE. S1MØNE is beautiful, she's talented, and she's virtually perfect in every way?except one. She's not real. Suddenly, Taransky has a taste of the success he always craved and the world's most beloved star under his thumb. Or does he? Starring Academy Award-nominee and Golden Globe-winner Winona Ryder ("The Age of Innocence," "Girl, Interrupted"), and Rachel Roberts (TV's "Ugly Betty," TV's "Entourage").

Playing the Field: Dufnering is latest thing to hate
Frankly I'm tired of all these photo memes.
First we had planking, then Tebowing, then Griffining, then some other stupid thing and some other stupider thing. You get the point. I don't know what people found these memes entertaining, but I blame them for all of society's ills.
Well, now we have a new thing to be annoyed with: Dufnering.
Jason Dufner, a golfer currently No. 18 in the world, showed up at a Dallas-area school for an appearance and had a photo snapped of him slouching against the wall, seemingly ignoring the kids. Outside of the fact that the photo sums up every athlete promotional event, it also sparked the trend of Dufnering.
Friend and fellow pro Keegan Bradley posted the original picture on Twitter and, as these things do, it immediately went viral.
Haha I don't know what to say. This is the best picture ever. #duffdaddy twitter.com/Keegan_Bradley…
— Keegan Bradley (@Keegan_Bradley) March 28, 2013
A bunch of other golfers hopped on the trend, including Rory McIlroy, Ian Poulter, Bubba Watson and pretty much every other PGA golfer on tour. Bradley tracked all of the Dufnering on his Twitter account. Woman-about-town, and boyfriend of Dustin Johnson, Paulina Gretzky even sort of got in on the trend, posting a picture of her dog in said pose. But what would the trend be without some ladies who actually did get in on the fun. Props to Michelle Wie and Paula Creamer for posting their Dufnering photos. LPGA Dufnering is something we can actually get behind.
Long day of practice capped off by #dufnering on #dinahshore Walk ofChampions. twitter.com/themichellewie… — Michelle Wie (@themichellewie) March 30, 2013

Toledo Police are looking for two women caught on camera financing their shopping spree with someone else's money.
The suspects used stolen credit card information – but the victim still has her card. Police believe they skimmed the credit card numbers off the card and transferred the information to another card with a magnetic strip. They say people will use devices called wedges, which are small enough to fit in the palm of their hand, to swipe your credit card when you're paying for a legitimate transaction. That's why police say it's important to keep your card in sight as much as possible.
"If they are doing this to one person's credit card, they are doing it for many people's credit cards," said Sgt. Joe Heffernan. "Sometimes it takes a little bit of time to catch up with this type of crime. You don't always notice it right away, and sometimes it's not until a month later when you get your statement."
The women were caught on a Dillard's security camera, shopping with the stolen card information.
Police would like to get these suspects off the streets as quickly as possible before they spend anyone else's hard-earned money. If you have any information that can help, call Crimestopper at 419-255-1111.

Laurie is the Animal Health Manager for the Steinhart Aquarium.
Briefly describe your job and your area of expertise. I manage the support staff, facilities and operation of the Animal Health Department. My primary responsibility is managing the water quality for the Aquarium. Part of my job is to support the Aquarium as Health and Safety Monitor, Hazardous Materials Monitor, Antivenom Coordinator, Web Site and Intranet Coordinator and the Uniform and Badge Access Coordinator. In addition to that I participate as a member of the People Team, Academy Leadership Team and the Staff Action Counsel. My areas of expertise are fish, water quality and public programming.
What got you interested in working at an aquarium? I have worked with captive fish since I was a freshman at the marine laboratory at Humboldt State. It was during my second year that I met an Aquarium Curator and he told me about how cool it was to work in a public aquarium and all the things he has been exposed to. That was when my fish focus went entirely to achieving a career in the aquarium field.
What college did you go to and what degree did you receive? BS in Fisheries Biology with an emphasis in Aquarium Sciences and Marine Fisheries from Humboldt State University. Go Jacks!
What influenced your job choice and when? I was in 3rd grade when I read the book Jaws. That was when I decided I wanted to be an Ichthyologist. I did not know what it meant at the time but I really liked sharks and I wanted my job to include that. As I got older that fascination for sharks grew to all fish then included reptiles too.
Do you have pets at home? What and how many? 1 Cat:a Bengal. 2 dogs: a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Chocolate Lab. 2 Lizards: a Bearded Dragon and a Mali Uromastyx. 3 snakes: an Amethystine Python, a Western Hognose and a Baron's Ratsnake.
Advice for someone wanting to go into your field. Take advantage of any volunteer or job experience you come across that could help build up your resume. Review job descriptions for positions you would be interested in and use that as a checklist of skills you need to acquire during college. By the time you graduate and are ready to look for a job you will have made yourself marketable. Your first job may not be too glamorous or exactly what you wanted to do but everyone has to start somewhere. I spent one summer pulling bones out of harbor seal poop!

Great episode. I'm a big fan of CBSMT and this is one of the best I have heard. Surprised no one else has commented. Good story especially for our culture today with free speech being uder attack now. Great ending and a good spiritual message. Nic

This was a great story. Its also nice to hear CBS endorsing prayer! I know its a script and I don't know anything about EG personally, but its nice to think that he's in heaven now after growing up with his bedtime stories.

Cold war parables generally haven't aged well in the last few decades, and this is no exception. In this case, the sinister regime terrorizing a hapless family is A) an omniscient, ruthlessly efficient surveillance state, and B) somehow so incompetent that a moment's quick thinking can upend everything. And that's not to mention the most literal use of a deus ex machina that I've ever witnessed in a drama. The performances are generally good (aside from the cartoonish villains), and while it builds some genuine tension with its 1984-style paranoia, the third act begins to feel a bit contrived and very dated.
Matt Sandwich, 2012-07-25 13:35:59
I enjoyed this one.
Jim, 2012-09-24 10:34:57
In a society supposedly in the future but with a "big brother" soviet-era style of government, a woman is able to get herself, mother and fiancee out of the country. Without going into all the details of how she did it, she remarks at the program's end that she believes in God now. Mr. Marshall, (who always narrated the beginning, middle and end of the dramas) says at the end that so many people believe in God when things have been going bad, but that it's important that we should "call on Him (God) when you don't need anything - just call. Door's always open...24 hours a day."
Jane Rommel, 2013-01-17 09:32:18
A science fiction tale of a time where "The Protector" looks after all in the manner of Orwell's Big Brother. A woman receives a letter from the Bureau of Human Affairs seeking her presence some days hence for questioning. Her loose lipped gossiping mother has no idea what it could be about and the woman frets for days. Her fiancé is supportive and tries to help identify the possible reason for the visit. Once there the questioner merely asks, "is there anything you wish to tell us?" The Bureau has such a reputation as to strike terror in the hearts and minds of anyone who must deal with them. Will the terror of this question leads the small family to try to identify some mistake, some misstatement, or petty crime they might have committed…
Jerry, 2013-01-17 09:47:09
Reminds me of 1984, great story and great actors
Gina Schackel, 2013-11-14 14:54:09
Very awesome!! Dripping with an Orwellian future (1984). This was a creepy episode.

A customer has filed a lawsuit against a Mexican restaurant in Litchfield Park over an outbreak of bloody diarrhea.
The suit filed Monday says Federico's Mexican Food restaurant was negligent in serving tainted food.
11 of the 15 people diagnosed with bloody diarrhea last week said they had eaten at the Federico's restaurant.
8 of those people were sent to a hospital.
State health department investigators determined that the E. coli bacteria was responsible for the illnesses.
A Seattle attorney who specializes in class-action food-safety lawsuits is representing 5 of the people who got sick.
Attorney Bill Marler says there may still be some victims who haven't been identified by Maricopa County Health Inspectors.
"Some of these folks were hospitalized as recently as today and they haven't been counted in the system," says Marler."
He says the five cases he is representing are some of the most extreme.
"Two of the children are in Phoenix Children's Hospital in severe distress, both have developed acute kidney failure, one is on dialysis and the other is undergoing a blood transfusion."
Another victim - Bryan Clayton - filed the suit against the owners of Federico's in Maricopa County Superior Court.
Clayton says he suffered severe gastrointestinal problems and is seeking compensation for damages from Federico's.
"The medical bills that some of these kids will be facing will be hundreds of thousands and future complications in the millions of dollars. This could potentially be a $25 to $30 million problem for the restaurant and supplier."

Contact: Erik Snyder (360) 867-6537
Sports Information Director
The Evergreen State College
December 21, 2005
KLAMATH FALLS, Oregon -Some bad food and a strong performance by Oregon Tech combined to hand Evergreen a lopsided conference loss a night after the Geoducks took the nation's top-ranked team to the wire.
Evergreen did not suit up five players as they visited perennial power Oregon Tech, and the Owls routed the Geoducks 83-48.
Pat Mattson led Evergreen State with 14 points while Ronald Rhodes added 10 points.
But Tech put four players into double figures led by Ryan Fiegi's 16 points. Danny Mills and Mike Hansen added 14 points apiece while Levell Hesia chipped in with 10.
Evergreen will break for the holidays and play again December 29-30 as they host Albertson College and Eastern Oregon Uiversity. Both games will begin at 7:30 .

This story is about what would have happened if Bella didn't jump off the cliff, and Edward came back. Let me know what you think and I will write more, if people like it. Thanks!
Chapter 1
I rolled over in my bed and stared through the window. It was starting to lighten up outside, so I must have been asleep longer than I thought. Yesterday had been a long day. Victoria was after me again, and the wolves chased her off, again. I had thought about cliff diving, but heard the howling and thought that I should save it for another day.
That was a hard decision to make. I needed to hear him. It had been too long since my last hallucination. The only thing that stopped me was the fact that I had been acting selfishly lately. What would Charlie, Renee, and Jake do if I ended up accidentally killing myself while chasing figments of my imagination? I was still planning on doing the jump, I would just wait until someone was with me.
I didn't know when that would be, though. I had made it back to Billy's when the call came. Harry Clearwater had a heart attack. I went to the hospital with Charlie and half of La Push, but there wasn't anything they could do. Charlie wanted to stay and help Sue. He was hurt by the loss of a good friend, and I could tell he didn't need to worry about me, so I let Jake drive me home. I should have just waited.
Jake was still wanting to push our relationship further, but I was struggling with the idea. I knew I owed him so much more than what I could offer. My heart was always going to be with Edward, wherever he may be. Maybe I could do it though, maybe I could push myself do at least try and make Jacob happy. He deserved it, and it's not like Edward wanted me anymore.
I know I hurt his feelings last night when I avoided kissing him, but I couldn't do it until I was sure. I needed to be sure I could dedicate what was left of me to doing it. If I started then I knew it was something I would have to see through. Jake would be devastated if I were to change my mind once we got things going.
How was I going to do it? The only hope I had was that Jake would be different enough that being with him wouldn't make me think of the way things used to be. Jacob's skin was hot, Edwards was cold. Jacob let me be reckless, Edward always wanted me safe. Jacobs lips would be soft, Edwards was lips were hard and ice cold against my skin...
I hugged into myself. The hole was threatening to rip open again. I needed to be smarter. I couldn't think about things like that. I couldn't let myself remember the way it felt when he would touch me. I was so stupid to even think that his touches were coming from a place of love instead of boredom. I wasn't good enough for him. As much as I wanted him to love me, I loved him enough to hope that he had found whatever it was that he went looking for.
I would be okay as long as I knew he was happy somewhere. Unfortunately I wouldn't even get the pleasure of knowing that. The Cullens were good at leaving. All that was left of them was an empty house, no forwarding addresses or phone numbers.
Once the pain in my chest eased up enough I got out of the bed. I went in to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I was looking somewhat normal again, but the loss was still in my eyes. I tried smiling, laughing, looking angry, but none of it worked. The look of emptiness was there in everything I did. Luckily I had gotten so good at faking everything that no one looked that close anymore.
I made my way downstairs and got out a bowl for my cereal. I sat at the table trying to concentrate on only what was in front of me when I heard the phone ring. Charlie could get it. I didn't feel like talking to anyone yet.
The phone kept ringing, and Charlie didn't pick up. I looked out the kitchen window and saw that his cruiser was gone. He must have left before I woke up. I heard the answering machine pick up and a man's voice began speaking.
"Hi Bella, this is Billy. Jake really-"
I grabbed the receiver. "Hey Billy. Sorry, I was eating and thought Charlie was here. What's up?"
"Good, you're home. Uh, Jake wanted me to call you and make sure you weren't out of the house yet."
"Why? What's going on?"
My mind started racing. Was Victoria here again? Was she getting closer? Thank goodness Charlie was gone. At least he would be spared.
"Jake should be there soon. He'll explain everything. Just make sure you stay inside for now."
"Billy tell me- AHHHH!"
I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I should have recognized the heat right away.
"Jake, what the hell??? Um, Billy, he's here. Thanks."
I didn't wait for a response. I put the phone back in its place and sat in the chair I had been in previously. I needed to catch my breath.
"Geez Bells, jumpy much?"
"Well, when you're being hunted by a vindictive vampire, yeah. What's going on?"
He looked at me, studying my face.
"You really don't know?"
"Jake, I just woke up. I have no clue what you're talking about. What's happened?
He pulled a chair out and sat next to me. He looked like he wanted to tell me something, but at the same time he didn't want to.
"Spit it out Jake, I'm a big girl. I can take it."
He sucked in a huge breath, then looked at the floor.
"One of them is back."
"One of what, Jake? Look at me."
He didn't move. He still looked down and wouldn't face me.
"One of them, you know who. Do I really need to say it?" He sounded very tired all of the sudden.
"Yes, you do, because I don't know what you're talking about."
He finally looked up at me. He looked sad, like someone had run over his puppy.
"One of the Cullens. Sam ran across one of their scents close to their old house this morning. I would have been here sooner, but because of the treaty, I'm not even supposed to be here." His voice took on a menacing edge. "But I won't leave you unprotected with those bloodsuckers running loose after what they did to you."
My mind started reeling. Who was it? When were they there? Were they still here? Why hadn't they come to see me?
I tried to mask the pain that followed. I didn't want Jake to see it, he thought I should be angry. It didn't matter who it was, because they weren't coming here. They were probably long gone by now. I wasn't important to them, so it didn't matter.
"Jake, you don't need to worry, they aren't coming here. They left me. They aren't coming back for me."
He shook his head. "Bella, please be honest. Did you know they were here?"
"No, Jake. I didn't know. They probably left again already, just looking for something important they left behind." I didn't need to say anything else, he heard the double meaning in my words.
"Look, Jake, you don't need to worry. I have to get ready for work, so you can go home. I'll call you later okay?"
I was lying. I wasn't scheduled to work today. I just needed him to leave before I completely fell apart. I couldn't let him see me like this again.
He stood up and pulled me in to a vice tight hug. I mustered all the energy I had just to put my arms around him. The news had somehow sucked the life out of my body. I couldn't even feel my legs.
He put me back on my feet, and somehow I managed to stay upright. I was thinking about all the times I had longed to hear these words, but now realized that it was a cruel thing. To hear one of them was this close, and didn't even bother to say hi, just made me realize how little I meant to all of them. Maybe, if it were Rosalie, it wouldn't hurt so bad. At least she never pretended to like me.
I was thinking too much to notice what was happening. When I finally focused on the here and now I realized that Jake was kissing me. He had my face between his hands, and he was kissing me.
I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do, but I knew I didn't want this. I reached for his face to push him back, but he took it as an invitation. One of his hands fell to the small of my back, and pulled my body flat against his. I couldn't escape. I knew my only hope was to just give up.
I stood completely motionless, and he eventually noticed that I wasn't responding.
"Oh come on Bells, you can't tell me that you didn't like that." He was angry.
"Yes, I can tell you that. Leave, now." My voice was lifeless, just like the rest of me.
He let go of me and walked to the door.
"This isn't over. As soon as we're sure they're gone, I'll be back to finish this."
"I wish you wouldn't Jake. It might not end the way you want it to."
"Might, Bella. Might" There was too much hope in his answer.
I didn't have the energy to argue with him now, so I just shut the door.
I leaned back against the cool wood and started to hyperventilate. I knew what was coming, and I knew I didn't want to be here when it arrived. I dragged myself up the steps, and crawled on my hands and knees to my room. I shut the door and collapsed on the floor. I couldn't even make it to the bed.
The pain washed over me like waves during a hurricane. Each one was higher and stronger than the one before it, destroying everything in its path. It felt like there wasn't going to be anything left of me when this storm passed. I felt like I had been trampled by bulls and there was nothing left of me except a bloodied corpse. I wanted to die. I wished I could die.
The only thing that could have broken through the pain was the feeling of cold hands brushing back my hair. Hands that were on my face, hands that I would know anywhere.

A look at the Covenant weapons in Halo 4
[Continued] Page 2
Covenant Carbine
Notable semi-automatic mid-range accuracy, firing ballistic rounds unlike most other Covenant weapons.
Joel Gifford (Test) - "The Covenant Carbine is an absolute terror when going up against unshielded foes. Bringing it into Spartan Ops missions against Grunts, Jackals, and Crawlers allows you to quickly drop waves of enemies, provided you can land the headshot. In PVP, it has a little trouble getting through enemy shields, but the precision and high rate of fire allow you to constantly bombard your opponent."
Beam Rifle
Extreme-range sniper rifle, charging ionized hydrogen gas into a lethal beam of accelerated particles.
Kynan Pearson (Lead Multiplayer Level Design) - "The Beam Rifle is sick. What's not to like about being able to clear out an enemy team with a single weapon that when used correctly doesn't require a reload… and the sound is so satisfying."
Concussion Rifle
Similar to other Covenant mortar weapons, firing explosive bolts of plasma at close-range to mid-range distances.
Jayce Diaz (Spartan Ops Designer) - "Against AI, it can topple vehicles and has a fast enough firing rate to scatter large groups, and against other players it has the uncanny ability to cause confusion and pain at a safe distance. It is the ultimate noise gun, a disruptor that can leave enemies in complete disarray before they die."

Conference aims to turn federal managers into 'wellness wonks'
Tuesday - 9/6/2011, 9:08am EDT
Now, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is sponsoring a symposium geared toward helping federal managers put health and fitness programs in place.
The three-day symposium is called "Healthier Federal Workers 2011," aims to help managers become wellness wonks.
Dr. Casey Chosewood, a senior medical officer for Total Worker Health at NIOSH, joined the Federal Drive to discuss the conference and why it's themes are important for federal managers and employees, alike.
He said one of the aims of the conference was catching federal agencies up with the private sector, which has readily embraced wellness programs.
Chosewood also discussed how agencies, which are already squeezed by tight budgets, will be able to incorporate wellness programs.
