Review: Pac-man Championship Edition DX
The "score attack" games that once populated arcades throughout the world have nearly all been replaced by level up systems, achievements/trophies, and movie-like story telling from the comfort of home. But with the advent of Xbox Live, the Playstation Network, and app phones the quest for the highest score is making its return, and Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is leading the charge on PSN and XBLA.
DX is a lot like 2007's Pac-Man Championship Edition but with a few extra features that make a world of difference. Like that game and the rest of the series your goal is to eat pellets, food, and ghosts in an attempt to beat the high score. Timed levels are back, with five and 10-minute Score Attack modes in which your goal is to get as high a score as possible within the time limit. Time Attack mode will have you collecting a set amount of apples within a specific time frame, though they won't appear until you've eaten all the pellets on the screen first.
As always, ghosts will kill Pac-Man should they collide with him, but in DX there is an added slow down effect when you're nearing your doom, giving you the chance to quickly move in a different direction and avoid what would have been an imminent death. There are also bombs. Pac-Man can lay a bomb down if he's surrounded, bouncing the nearby ghosts back to the center respawning area. These two additions add a surprising freshness to an old formula and make it easier to continue to do well even when 30 ghosts are chasing you at full speed.
The game's challenge comes from doing well, growing in difficulty the more you chow down without flaw, and in this way the game constantly adjusts itself with your skill level. Each time Pac-Man does a line of pellets an edible food item appears along that path, which when eaten refreshes the opposite side of the maze and repopulates it with more ghosts. As you eat more and more a greater number of ghosts appear, often sleeping until you wake them up by whizzing by. They'll follow you in a Snake-like conga line waiting for you to make a wrong turn and get trapped between them and another napping ghost barring your way. The more ghosts on the screen the more intense the game gets, building your stress level as the dance-y techno-ish music speeds up with your progress. In fact, a speed meter tells you how fast the game is moving as you eat more and decreases as you lose a life or use bombs. The result of this is that DX brings the most satisfying game event I've encountered in a long time: eating 40+ ghosts in a row, as Pac-Man's nom nom sound effect coincides with score points jumping higher and higher.
There are plenty of old-school nods thrown into the mix. The game's initial loading screen is an old arcade graphics-style Pac-Man eating through a screen's width of pellets. Map visuals can be customized to look like the arcade version, 8-bit, or more smooth and modern, and the graphics of Pac-Man and the ghosts themselves can also be altered.
As fun and addictive as DX is, arcade style games like this are built around the repetition of levels with only the obstacles changing. Each level is a different maze, more intricate than the last, and while they differ enough from each other to make one level harder than another you will never shake the feeling that they're all largely the same with the same goals in mind. But this isn't necessarily a problem. The five and 10-minute Score Attack modes, the varying Time Attack modes, Free mode (good for practice with 99 lives and bombs), and the Ghost Combo mode (in which you must eat as many ghosts as you can within the allotted time) more than make each level engrossing. You'll have to learn every turn, anticipate where items will appear, and make smart use of the fact that moving all the way to the left or right will make you come out on the opposite side – especially in the dark versions of the levels in which only your immediate surrounding area is illuminated.
If you're a score hunter, have a soft spot for old arcade games, or love to compete on leaderboards then Pac-Man Championship Edition DX may be the ultimate game for you. If you're not generally a fan of those things, you may be surprised by just how addicting the game makes fighting for the highest score. Achievements/trophies will add extra incentive to get those extra million points, but the intensity of the game is what ultimately will keep you from blinking and breathing, and loving every second of it.
This is a very good article, I discovered your blog checking aol for a related subject matter and came to this. I couldnt find to much other information on this article, so it was nice to discover this one. I will be back to look at some other posts that you have another time.

The JSConf 2012 videos are being released!
April 25th 2012
Well the title pretty much says it all, but I thought I'd let everyone know that the JSConf 2012 videos are beginning to be released. JSConf is one of the premier JavaScript conferences that always sells out within a few seconds, so if you didn't make it this year, you're in luck because they always record the talks and release them for free after the event. I wasn't there this year, but I heard excellent things about the talks and the rest of the event as well. I'm sure more videos will be released over the coming days and weeks so watch the website and Twitter for details!

A Revolutionary Adventure by Veta - about 1 year ago
"We took our kids and grandkids to Williamsburg, VA for a week to learn about our nations history. We got so many comments about our shirts - everyone loved them! The trip was originally planned for June so the shirts have June 2013 on them but I had major surgery so we had to postpone the trip until July. Not one person said anything about the wrong month! The graphic was perfect for Colonial Williamsburg! The whole process of designing the shirts, having them made and receiving them was a breeze! And such a great souvenir with lots of fun memories!"

Citrix Moving CloudStack to Apache
Citrix unveils its cloud computing strategy and moves CloudStack to the Apache Software Foundation.
Citrix has unveiled the next phase of its cloud computing strategy. As a key part of this strategy, the company is moving its CloudStack solution from OpenStack to the Apache Software Foundation.
According to the company, turning CloudStack into a full open source Apache project will "accelerate its mission of delivering a powerful, proven, hypervisor-agnostic platform that helps customers of all sizes build true Amazon-style clouds." The announcement states that CloudStack brings to Apache more than 30,000 community members, thousands of certified apps, and hundreds of production clouds, collectively generating more than US$ 1 billion in cloud revenue. Citrix will also deliver a commercially supported release of the proposed Apache CloudStack distribution as the centerpiece of its cloud infrastructure product portfolio.
Citrix CloudStack 3 will be released under Apache License 2.0, and the CloudStack.org community will become part of the Apache Incubator program. Citrix will further support the project with increased investment in engineering, community support, and marketing – as a Platinum sponsor of the Apache Software Foundation.
According to the announcement, Citrix CEO Mark Templeton and GM of Cloud Platforms, Sameer Dholakia, will discuss this announcement and provide further details about the company's cloud strategy at the Citrix Synergy 2012 conference May 9-11 in San Francisco.

The usually crisp and precise P. Chidambaram was uncharacteristically vague on Monday while announcing the government's fiscal consolidation plan. While pledging to bring the fiscal deficit down to 3 percent in 2016-17 from around 5.3 this fiscal, the Harvard-educated minister gave no details on how the government would achieve this feat.
Perhaps the finance minister should remember that uncertainty and lack of clarity can spook markets and investors. We saw that when the government took months to clarify the controversial GAAR norms which made foreign investors jittery.
Chidambaram's announcement is unlikely to impress investors, rating agencies and lenders like the IMF, who want the government to slash subsidies and cut spending.
Trying to shore up market confidence, the minister relied on adjectives like "imperative" and "no alternative" to sell his fiscal plan. But he couldn't escape the socialist slant of his Congress party, mentioning how "the poor must be protected and the others must bear their fair share of the burden".
As the Sensex pared gains after Chidambaram's comments and briefly turned red later in the day, it shows the announcement of mere intent did not excite markets.

The new-generation Land Rover Range Rover is already receiving its second tuning kit — the first one came from Lumma Design — courtesy of Hofele Design. Hofele's package has been dubbed "Royster GT 500" and updates the exterior and the engine of the SUV.
Under the hood is where we are most impressed, as the tuner added a power kit that can be applied to all the engines in the lineup and will increase their respective output by about 20 percent. For the 4.4-liter V-8 engine, for example, the final output number ends up at 410 horses and 531 pound-feet — up from the engine's standard 339 horsepower and 442 lb-ft.
On the exterior Hofele added an additional front spoiler, new designed door panels with "bubbles," and painted the front grille and the new rear apron diffuser in matte black. There is also a new exhaust system with 4-tube stainless steel tailpipes in the style of "interlaced double oval," plus a set of "Reverso II" wheels sized 9-by-20 inches and 10-by-22 inches. The tuner also installed an electric lowering module that can lower the car by up to 40 mm (1.5 inches) at speeds up to 50 mph.
For the interior, customers will get "Bi-Colour" leather in "Star-Light" design combined with lots of decorative elements.
According the Hofele, this upgrade is quick and easy to install, and requires no major modifications. It will be launched in February or March of 2013. Stay tuned for pricing!
Press Release
The Landlord will appear in the sports jacket: "Royster GT 500" based on the new Range Rover 2013
The luxury car tuner Hofele enhanced with the launch of the new model in early 2013, the Range Rover model range. Based on the already opulent Range Rover over the particular individual car "Royster GT 500".
Arises majestic look
The front bumper gets a central front spoiler, door panels, the dynamic "Bubbles" that keep out the dirt from the doors. The front grill looks sporty in its matte black. This fits well in Matt Black, the newly developed rear apron diffuser. Strong elements to the 4-way stainless-steel sport exhaust tips in the form of "integrated double oval" are. These chic tailpipes are screwed very easy instead of the serial-tailpipe rear muffler to the existing series. The interplay of these 4-fold tailpipes with the wider diffuser rear skirt looks the tail of the "Royster GT 500" very powerful. Essential style element of "Royster" the specially designed by Hofele designer wheels "REVERSO II" are available in the size 9 x 20 "and 10 x 22" for the Range Rover series. The Royster carries royales leather spoiled Inside Hofele design their own "two-tone" leather interior "Star Light". The 2-color "StarLight" leather interior has a kreiertes by Hofele Design with quilted items in the Old British-style and contrasting stitching. Point costs € 3.900, -.
Royal Highness to its knees
An electronic lowering system raises and lowers the speed controlled Range Rover with air suspension. In the state and up to a speed of 80 km / h, the body is lowered by 40 mm. More than 80 km / h, the system reverts to the standard height for the suspension to maintain its full factory reserves at high speed. His lordship is in a hurry ? But what the royal passengers pressed into the seat of the noble sport interior
The engine tuning by Hofele for the various engine variants of the new Range Rover promises a performance increase of about 20%. Range Rover 4.4 liter diesel engine SDV8 Hofele increases the power of 339 hp to 410 hp and torque of 600 Nm to 720 Nm. This is a real steam hammer! Installation is very easy, fast and requires no modifications to the vehicle itself, the parts are available from February / March.

Sources For Luxurious, Long-Lasting Bedding?
Good Questions
Q: As a student graduating from college soon, I am so confused by all of the bedding options. Some stuff seems extraordinarily expensive to me. When I'm finally through with dorm life and regularly sleep on a bed larger than an XL twin, I'd love to invest in some long lasting, quality bedding. So, in terms of bedding, what's worth the money and what isn't? What should one expect to spend on luxurious and quality bedding that will last? Recommend any sources?

I've had great luck with bedding from Anthropologie, West Elm, and Crate and Barrel.
Sferra! Not cheap though. Mine has gotten better with age.
Be cautious when you look at thread count. It generally means the number of threads per inch. The idea is that the more threads per inch, the finer the threads, and the smoother the sheets. But some manufacturers can twist two threads into one thread, and use that it the weave, and double the thread count. Be especially cautious of anything over 400, as it's almost impossible to get more than that with a single ply yarn. Sheets with high thread counts also tend to wrinkle more easily. The best way to tell if it is a good sheet is to feel it; you should be able to feel the difference between a low quality sheet and a higher quality sheet.
Egyptian cotton is a good way to go, if you're looking into something that will feel smooth for a long time. Egyptian cotton has the longest staples (the fibers that go into making a thread) so it will feel the smoothest, and it is the least likely to pill.
Do not buy any cotton/poly blends, as these will pill and look worn out.
My sheets are actually from Walmart (gasp!). They are 300 thread count, and they have lasted well for 4 years, with no signs of wear. They were about $40.
Also, when looking for sheets, make sure the bottom sheet is big enough to fit over your mattresses. As mattresses have gotten thicker, sheets need to as well.
Lands' End Home has moderately priced, high quality basics - and their size range often include XL Twins.
Interesting about the 2-ply thread!
A related question: 15 yrs ago I bought wonderful 300 tpi sheets that crackled. I love them, but they are getting worn out. New sheets I've bought as replacements are soft, but I really prefer the thicker crackly cotton. Can anyone clue me in on how to find that??
lazy_lurker: I got some pillowcases from IKEA that are not thick, but crispy, and I love them. I'm thinking of getting same kind of sheets. I don't know how they might compare to the crackly ones.
Supima is the American equivalent to Egyptian cotton, or so I was told. (Another luxurious long staple cotton fiber.) I foolishly fell for some 800 thread count sheets, and they are something lazy_lurker might look at -- very crisp, even after three years of washing. They easily wrinkle (I have to press them to smooth them, so I just don't, queen sheets being too unwieldy for that.) I got them at Home Goods, where I have gotten nicer 400 thread count sheets in the past, and might again soon!!
So I look for Supima or Egyptian cotton, 400 thread count, and then I touch them to see what they feel like, although they almost certainly have sizing in them in the store, which washes out, so touch isn't the whole story... And I shop at discount department stores like Home Goods and TJ Maxx, where a set (top, bottom, 2 pillow slips) usually runs somewhere between $30 and $50. I find a lot of these sheets are in sateen stripes for some reason! (I like all white sheets.)
My friend's family manufacturers most of the sheets for department store brands (Hotel, Charter Club) and Target (Thomas O'Brien). They use the Hotel 700 threadcount (Macy's) in all of their homes in India. We love them, too!
I graduated from college in 2009, but nice bedding is my addiction. I buy all my nice stuff from The Company Store, including duvets, duvet covers and pillows (these especially are exceptional) - and once a pillowtop mattress cover. Get on their email list, they have great sale and clearance events and you can find some incredible discounts. The only drawback is that it's only an online store, but their products are so good it's worth it. Having a good duvet is something you'll be grateful for, it'll keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter and hold up under years of use. I've found that I can buy cheaper sheets and pillow cases (around 250-300 threadcount) at Target and wash them 3 or 4 times with quite a bit of fabric softener and dryer sheets and they'll be just as soft as much more expensive sheets and they'll last you a long time. Plus side here is that they're not expensive at all so you can change out the colors when you get tired of them. My most recent duvet cover purchase was a Compy Co Duvet from StopDropandRelax.com and it's incredible. So my suggestions are to spend more on your duvet and your pillows, you can pay less on your sheets and your duvet cover.
Beech sheets are amazingly comfortable and inexpensive.
I'm not sure I'd buy investment-bedding right out of college. You're bedroom decor will change, and you will want your sheets to change too.
I've had very good luck finding sheet sets at Century 21, for under $30. Look for 300-400 thread count sheets, and FEEL them. You might discover over time that you prefer a particular feel to your sheets, which is another reason not to splurge right now.
Wamsutta makes really good sheets. 350/360 thread count is a good one. You really don't need 400, 500, 600, or over that. Ralph Lauren makes good sheets also, I only buy sheets when they are on sale. And I only buy WHITE it goes with everything.
The best sheets ever are from Costco, the kirkland brand, supima cotton. If you like duvet covers, you can sew two flat sheets together or buy other top sheet. They are the softest sheet. Give them a try...I have bought expensive ones and cheap ones and still find those costco ones the best.
Area and Calvin Klein. Not only are the sheets amazing, they get better with time AND the way both companies make their sheets, they fit and stay in place. Great colors as well.
I'm a snob about sheets, and I have to say, Ralph Lauren makes some amazing sheets--Avenue sheets are definitely the way to go if you can find them--AND they hold up remarkably well (I've had some other sheets and pillowcases fall apart after too many washes). You can get a great set for around $40 at TJmaxx or Marshall's, and they usually have a couple extra pairs of pillowcases--buy an extra pair.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned 100% linen sheets. The downside is that after you sleep in your bed, it will have that "rumpled" linen look that you have to be OK with. If you can learn to love that, then they are awesome. We have pure white sheets and duvet cover, and they are still perfectly white after nearly a year of use and they show zero visible signs of wear. Linen doesn't get stained nearly as easily as cotton, so I think they will be perfectly white five years from now. Linen absorbs about 22% its weight in water before feeling wet, so if you are like me (a guy!) and get hot or damp some nights, then this problem will be solved! To clean, I wash the sheets and duvet cover on delicate each week, dry for 10 minutes on low heat (till the sheets are just a bit damp) and then put on our bed. They will be fully dry in a few hours and all the wrinkles will be gone as well. Linen never "pills" and I've heard stories of parents passing on linen bed sheets that they got as an wedding present to their children. Wow, after writing this I just realized what a linen nut I've become...
Mmmmm linen! I've heard but never experienced. Peter R that may be my next splurge.
Years ago I bought a silk blanket at Tuesday Morning. Pricey but I have never regretted it. I wish I could tell you the manufacturer but if you find one, go for it.
i agree with the comment about linen sheets. it seems contrary to the "luxury requires a high thread count" line of thinking, but linen definitely improves with age and is incredibly comfortable.
i also, unexpectedly, have come to love my new microplush sheets. i like to use a fitted sheet that stretches on my Tempu-pedic mattress, so i use the microplush or inexpensive jersey knit (and replace it as needed).
The factory store is in Fall River, MA and I make an annual trek during their February sale for new sheets and towels. They are THE most unbelievably soft sheets your body will ever sleep upon. I am on vacation right now and the Matouks on my bed in Boston are pretty much the only thing I miss... I miss them more than I miss my my boyfriend. No joke.
I HIGHLY, oh-so-highly recommend Matouk sheets. I have slept on Sferra, Serena and Lily, West Elm/PB/C&B, Company Store, CK, Wamsutta, Ralph Lauren, Dwell and Frette. Even John Robshaw fell short but is the closest thing you can get to second place without having a chance of being first. I have slept on or owned all of the aforementioned brands as well as those from BB&B, etc. I am a self-proclaimed bedding snob.
Matouk sheets are the best. Just saying.

The nice thing about bedding is that it is interchangeable! I personally do not invest tons of $$ on one duvet cover or 1 set of luxurious sheets because I LOVE to switch it up and THAT is what's luxurious to me.
You do need 2-3 sheet sets because you should change your sheets about 1x per week (on average.) As for the outer bedclothes, that's the fun part! You may want a light and airy summer comforter and then a warm, soft and darker toned winter comforter (or duvet cover.) You may want a quilt, an extra blanket, a down duvet or a coverlet. There are so many choices. Think about where you live, the seasons etc. Are you a hot or cold sleeper? Do you like lots of pillows and fluff or clean, sleek and simple? It may take some testing with lower end products to really help you decide what type of "luxurious" bedding is best for you.
Amber, I think you are very wise in your approach to bedding. We spend a third of our lives in bed, and so I believe it is very important to have excellent bedding which maximizes your comfort and sleep. And high quality bedding -- duvets and sheeting -- should last a lifetime.
The first thing to do is to find a good duvet, which is actually harder than it seems (at least for me it is!). It is a matter of personal preference, but I like a very deep duvet; I find it less clingy or smothering than something thinner (thick duvets with square baffles make big pockets underneath, which is what I love). I found a perfect one recently which for a 210 cm x 240 cm has 1850 grams of fill; for 200 x 210 it has 1500g. I'd look for a European source for duvets -- for example Dux/Duxiana has nice duvets, or
A good duvet is not cheap, but will last you a lifetime; expect to pay $750-$1000 for a really good quality duvet (a 4-season one). The sleep difference between a really good duvet and the ones commonly sold in department and bedding stores in the U.S. is huge, at least in my experience, and so I consider it money well spent.
Traditionally, duvets were covered with fitted covers made of damask, which is a woven fabric, so so quite durable. The best damask duvet covers get softer with each washing, and so only get better over time. They are hard to find in the U.S. though. Linen is another fabric that gets softer and more beautiful with use, and so you may wish to explore that. I like having a different bottom sheet material -- for example, duvet cover and pillow cases in damask or linen, and bottom sheet in thick flannel or cotton jersey.
Personally, I do not like overly "designed" bedding, with loud printed patterns, and so avoid all the designer stuff. The plainer, solid-colour bedding (ideally white) will stand the test of time; designer bedding will look dated, and fast (fresh out of grad school, I bought Espirit bedding -- the duvet was nothing more than 2 sheets sewn together with a zipper -- so not only did it look passé after 3 years, but the fabric started wearing out too).
My favourite linens, by far, are by Matteo Home. While they are extremely expensive, they can be bought during the annual January White Sales; I think ABC Carpet & Home had them marked down (50%?).
I also love Libeco Home linens, which are far more reasonably priced. They have truly beautiful linens.
Otherwise, I would suggest Italian and Swiss linens (just google "Swiss damask bedding" or other similar terms and see what you come up with).
Good luck!
I should add -- most North American-made duvets (not St. Geneve for example!) have the baffles sewn in such a way so as to not maximize the loft of the down, making them flat and not as well-insulating as they should (and can) be. So, the fluffier the better!
I know about crackling sheets and I agree with you. I do not like slippery sheets either. I believe you might find what you want at Penn'ys . I think it was a 300 thread count. I have been feeling sheets to find what I wanted. Read the comments in the pennys site . Someone asks for just such a sheet.
Thanks so much everyone for your answers, I have some really great ideas now!
mschatelaine, thanks for your wonderful, thorough response! While the thought of spending up to a grand on bedding makes my (penniless) head spin, it IS something to think about. Especially, as you said, given the amount of time we spend in bed AND the fact that most of us are willing to drop that much on a fancy computers and other gadgets.
And I agree with you on wanting plain, classic bedding--fluffy, soft whites, beiges, and creams and if I want a punch of color and texture blankets and throw pillows would do the trick.
thanks again!
Another advantage of white bedding is that bleach is an option for killing germs, etc., and removing stains.
I don't think it gets any better than John Robshaw. Hand printed, and so luxurious. They tend to take a little time "wear in", as the block print process can make them a little stiff at first. But the more they are washed the better they look and feel!
We have Garnet Hill sheets that we bought 10 years ago- and are still comfy and pretty.
I have to say I've been the happiest with my Pottery Barn sheets. Back when I was making good money, I invested in two sets of the same sheets (I REEEEALLY loved the print & colors) and I still have them now almost a decade later -- better than ever. I just invested in a duvet cover set and had them monogrammed as well... LOVE THEM. They have awesome sales and promotions once in a while. That's when I get 'em. :) I also only get 400+ thread count sheet sets from Bed Bath & Beyond and the like. Sheets are investments. Think of how much time you spend in bed. You wouldn't go to a quack if you wanted to take care of a serious health concern would ya? ;)
matteo, matteo, matteo.
the interior design firm i work for buys their 'vintage linen' sheets for clients and i have always rabidly coveted them. they are expensive but linen sheets last forever and only get softer and better with age. matteo's 'vintage' line has a very simple hem, basic neutral colors and it's doubtful you'll ever get sick of them because linen sheets are just so timeless. abc home in NYC sells them, or you can buy directly off of their website.
Garnet Hill is fabulous. Luxurious options that last for years and years- and if they don't they have a very generous return policy! Go for it!
Home Goods and TJ Maxx have SO many options, and they change all the time... from European luxury brands to Calvin Klein and DKNY to Natori... you can always find something awesome there for about half (or less) than the retail price.
I am with Rachel- if you hunt at home goods, TJMax, Ross or Mashall's you can find Calvin Klein DKNY ect. I just bought some georgous 400 thread count Amy Butler sheets there! They seem to run low on duvet covers, but I have purchased quite a few for my brothers over the years from Ross that have performed well for single guys! (not to mention looked WAY better than what they would have put on the bed! I am also a big fan of Macy's seasonal clearance sales. Been known to obsessively watch Macy's online and off to see how cheap I can get new bed linens!
All good comments, but lets not forget the discount retail stores for bedding. Marshalls, TjMaxx and Homegoods will have great options at a really affordable price. Bed, Bath and Beyond will offer a great sale or clearance from time to time on organic cotton bedding for prices you can't find anywhere. If you stay between the between 300-400 thread count you will have a good experience (no pilling, not many wrinkles, washes and dries really well) and sateen sheets are a great option too. Macy's also has a great white sale that will afford you more for your dollar too. Anthropology has beautiful things, but its not affordable... unless you find it on Ebay or Craigs List.
We recently bought some Danny Seo Satteen sheets. They are amazing. I love how satteen stays cool at night.
You want the fabric to be made with 100% long stem Egyptian Cotton and woven in Europe (preferably Italy, they have the best weaving techniques in the world). You should also know that there are 2 types of weaves: Percale and Cotton Satin. Percale is more crisp and smooth, while Cotton Satin is more silky soft. It's kind of like matte versus glossy. Both are great, it just depends on the experience you prefer.
As for Thread Count, high thread count does not equal quality sheets. A 220 Percale sheet made with long-stem Egyptian cotton will be far superior than 1000 TC sheet, made with short-stem cheap cotton. I promise!
If you're interested we offer free swatches (http://www.aulitfinelinens.com/pages/request-a-swatch) so that you can get an idea for the feel of our sheets before you make any decisions.

vs. Pacific, Fri., Dec. 20 in Las Vegas, Nev.All-Time Series: First MeetingLast Meeting: None
vs. Portland, Sat., Dec. 21 in Las Vegas, Nev.All-Time Series: First MeetingLast Meeting: None
• Princeton is off to its best start since the 1997-98 team, a fact that will remain regardless of Saturday's outcome, whether 8-1 or 7-2 through nine contests. The '97-'98 team had Mitch Henderson as a senior and was ranked No. 19 in the nation by the AP after its ninth game, which was a 69-64 win over No. 23 Wake Forest at the Meadowlands. That game remains Princeton's last win away from Jadwin Gym over an AP-ranked team.• Princeton is scoring at a rate unseen in more than 40 years so far, as the Tigers' average of 72.1 ppg is its highest through eight games since the 1971-72 season (83.5 ppg). That doesn't figure to decrease much if at all Saturday night, given Penn State's averages of allowing 71.7 ppg while scoring 80.5. That season is also the last time Princeton scored at least 66 points in each of its first eight games, as it has done this season.• Princeton has matched its longest win streak in two-plus seasons under Mitch Henderson, now at six games. Another win would make this the longest streak since the 2010-11 Tigers reeled off 10 straight.• The Tigers have upped their point total from first halves to second halves in three straight games and five of eight this season.
• Penn State will be Princeton's third top-100 Pomeroy-ranked opponent of the season to date, as of Thursday's rankings. Butler checked in at No. 56, with Penn State at No. 64 and Bucknell at No. 82. Princeton was ranked No. 70 and defeated Bucknell in Lewisburg by 13 points two weekends ago. The Tigers didn't have T.J. Bray and were abnormally struggling from the free throw line (23-37) when they had their three-point loss at Butler on Nov. 16. • Princeton and Penn State have one common opponent that each has played so far, with the Lions losing to Bucknell 90-80 on Nov. 13 and Princeton defeating the Bison 66-53 on Nov. 30. Penn State played one other Ivy opponent, Penn, in an 83-71 Quaker defeat. Princeton will be the second New Jersey team Penn State has faced, as the Lions routed Monmouth 84-52 on Nov. 26.• Princeton and Penn State will meet for just the fourth time in nearly 40 years, and just the second time in that span in a regularly scheduled game on one of their home courts. The teams hadn't met since 1974 when they were paired together in the 1999-2000 season's Holiday Classic at Madison Square Garden, and then they met later that season in the 2000 NIT at Penn State. The teams had their first regularly scheduled on-campus game since 1974 in 2007. Penn State won all three of the recent meetings.• Penn State is a perfect 6-0 against Princeton in its home venues, including 3-0 at Rec Hall with two meetings in 1971 (separate seasons) and the last in 1974. Penn State is 2-0 against Princeton at the Bryce Jordan Center, in 2000 and 2007. • Princeton's three wins in the series have come in three venues: in 1922 at Princeton's University Gym, at The Palestra to open the 1965 NCAA Tournament in which the Tigers went to the Final Four, and in 1970 in Jadwin Gym. Princeton will play in two of those venues this season, in Jadwin Gym for their home games and at The Palestra on Jan. 11 at Penn.• Like Penn State's Rec Hall, Princeton's venue previous to its current one is still standing and in use. Dillon Gym, where Princeton played from 1947-69 and which hosted Bill Bradley's career, is the home to Princeton's wrestling and men's and women's volleyball teams. Princeton's venue previous to that, Baker Rink, which the men's basketball team used from 1944-47, is the home of Princeton's men's and women's hockey team and, in use since 1923, is the second-oldest NCAA hockey rink still in use, after Northeastern's Matthews Arena where the Princeton men's hoops team played last season. The Princeton men's basketball team's first venue was University Gym, which burned in 1944.• Given that Penn State hasn't played a game in Rec Hall in nearly 18 years, Princeton could be the more familiar team with a gym of Rec Hall's make-up. The capacity of Rec Hall for Saturday's game is 6,300, smaller than Princeton's Jadwin Gym (6,854) and less than half the size of Penn State's usual home, the Bryce Jordan Center (15,621). The average gym capacity in the Ivy League is 4,206, ranging from Dartmouth (2,100) to Penn (8,722). In the Big Ten, the average is 13,599, ranging from Northwestern (8,117) to Ohio State (18,809). • Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson has plenty of experience with the Big Ten, having served as an assistant coach at Northwestern from 2000-11 before coming to Princeton. This will be Henderson's first game against the B1G as a head coach.• Princeton will try to end an 11-game skid against Big Ten schools. The program's last win over a Big Ten school was on Dec. 28, 1985 against Wisconsin, which came in Arizona. The Tigers have an 18-game skid on Big Ten opponents' home floors, last defeating Northwestern in Evanston on Dec. 27, 1955.• Princeton did not play Penn State while Mitch Henderson was a player at Princeton. While Henderson was at Northwestern, Penn State won 13 of the 20 meetings, with Northwestern's last win during Henderson's tenure coming on Feb. 10, 2007 in Evanston. Penn State won the final seven meetings with Northwestern that came in State College, with Northwestern's last win there during Henderson's tenure coming on Feb. 16, 2002.• In 2010-11, Henderson's final season with Northwestern, Penn State's Tim Frazier had 17 assists between the two meetings with the Wildcats, both double-digit Penn State wins. The Nittany Lions made the NCAA Tournament that year, losing in the Round of 64 to Temple.• Penn State's Pat Chambers has never coached against Princeton, whether as a head or assistant coach. Chambers and Henderson were hired within two months of each other, with Henderson announced at Princeton on April 20, 2011 and Chambers named at Penn State on June 3, 2011. Current Princeton assistant coach Brian Earl's brother Dan, a Penn State alum, was an assistant at Penn State under previous coach Ed DeChellis from 2005-11. • This will be Princeton's first appearance on the Big Ten Network. Princeton's only other game against a Big Ten school during the channel's existence was the most recent meeting with Penn State, but that game was on ESPNU. • This will be the Ivy League's ninth appearance in a men's basketball game on Big Ten Network television since the channel launched in 2007. Brown (1-1), Cornell (0-3), Harvard (0-1), Columbia (0-1) and Penn (0-1) have made the eight appearances to date. Brown has the only win, over Northwestern on Nov. 24, 2007 by a 73-67 final. Penn State is 1-0 against the Ivy on BTN TV, defeating Cornell 74-67 on Dec. 21, 2011. The average margin of victory, including the lone Ivy win, is 9.9 points for the Big Ten team, and four of the last five Ivy-Big Ten games on BTN TV have been decided by single digits.• Penn State is shooting .469 this season overall. Princeton has allowed a team to shoot .469 or better in a game three times this season, against Lafayette, George Mason and Rutgers. Although all three were Princeton wins, the margin was five points or fewer at the finish, and Princeton had to shoot a combined .506 between those three games.• Penn State is allowing teams to shoot just .338 from 3-point range this season. The Tigers have had just one game shooting .338 or lower from distance, a 14-point Princeton win at Rice on Nov. 23.• Penn State is averaging 80.5 points per game this season, and Princeton hasn't allowed a team to score more than 73 in regulation this season. That came Wednesday night at Rutgers, a 78-73 Tiger win in Princeton's largest regulation scoring output of the season.• Princeton's 212 3-pointers attempted are the second-most through eight games for the program since the rule came into effect for the 1986-87 season. The 1995-96 team had 218 tries through eight games. The top two 3-point shooters on that team? Freshman Brian Earl had 56 3-point tries through eight games, and sophomore Mitch Henderson had 45. Princeton has tied the '95-'96 team for most 3s made through eight games, at 85.
• Princeton has more than doubled its opponents in the number of 3-pointers made this season, canning 85 to 36 for its foes. The Tigers have also tried significantly more than their opponents, though not quite twice as many, 212-119.• Of Princeton's 412 field goal attempts this season, 212, or 51.5 percent, have been from beyond the arc. Six players have more tries from beyond the arc than from inside, including Will Barrett (38 of 53), Ben Hazel (40-58), Spencer Weisz (24-39), T.J. Bray (23-37), Chris Clement (14-18) and Clay Wilson (5-5).• Princeton has tried more 3-pointers than its opponents in seven of eight games this season. The only game that the opponent tried more was at Butler, when the Bulldogs dialed long distance 24 times (making nine) to Princeton's 20 (eight made). • Princeton has held its opponent below .400 from beyond the arc in seven of eight games this season, with the Lafayette game as the exception. The Leopards made 6 of 11 (.545) from distance, pushing the game to overtime before losing 81-80.• In Princeton's only loss this season, at Butler on Nov. 16, the Tigers had a season-low nine assists and shot a season-low .622 from the stripe on 37 attempts, by far a season-high. It was the only game this season in which Princeton didn't have at least 56 percent of its baskets assisted. The Tigers had nine of 18 (.500) buckets with helpers in their trip to Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Tigers also didn't have T.J. Bray for that game (injured) and all Bray has done in his four games played this season is average 16.0 ppg and lead the team in assists per game at 5.8, including games of 10 (George Mason) and eight assists (Rutgers).• When Princeton heads to Las Vegas a few days after the Penn State game, it'll be just Princeton's second visit to the Silver State. The other time, Princeton was handled 69-35 by the No. 1 Runnin' Rebels, led by 19 points from Anderson Hunt on Dec. 19, 1990. Future No. 1 pick Larry Johnson, not long before his "Grandmama" days, was one rebound away from a double-double with 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting and a game-high nine boards.• Princeton ranks first in the Ivy in assist-to-turnover ratio with 1.4 helpers per giveaway and in 3-pointers per game at 10.6 (Cornell second, 8.2). The Tigers are first in defensive rebound percentage (.778) but eighth in offensive rebound percentage (.266). Ben Hazel was the top free throw shooter in the Ivy at .955, with 21 of 22 made.• Princeton returns nearly 75 percent of its scoring from a year ago despite graduating reigning Ivy Player of the Year Ian Hummer '13. The team also returns 71 percent of its starts and 67 percent of its minutes, with Denton Koon, T.J. Bray, Will Barrett and Hans Brase all having started at least 18 games last season.• 39.5 percent of Princeton's points this season have been scored by players who weren't on the 2012-13 roster, including rookies Spencer Weisz (8.4 ppg), Peter Miller (2.7 ppg) and Steven Cook (1.3 ppg), junior Ben Hazel (10.8 ppg) and senior Jimmy Sherburne (7.2 ppg). Hazel and Sherburne took the 2012-13 season off from Princeton.• Seven players (Bray, Brase, Koon, Hazel, Barrett, Weisz, Sherburne) have played 88.6 percent of the minutes this season and have scored 91.9 percent of the points.• Princeton is 6-0 when leading at the half this season. It rallied when down five at the half against Lafayette but came up one possession short in a three-point loss at Butler when down two at the half.• In a Princeton-offense staple, the Tigers have assists on 63.3 percent of their field goals compared to 41.6 percent of opponents' baskets. However, no player is averaging more than 5.8 assists per game (Bray) though three (Bray, Brase, Sherburne) are averaging at least 3.0 apg. Princeton's percentage of assisted baskets is higher than that of Penn State, at 55.3 percent.• The Tigers have a six-member freshman class and, as of the FDU game, all six of them have seen game action, including Henry Caruso, Khyan Rayner, Hashim Moore, Steven Cook, Peter Miller and Spencer Weisz. Miller has played in six games, and Weisz has started six contests while playing in all seven.
• Penn State has started the same five in all 11 games: 6-4 junior D.J. Newbill, 6-1 grad student Tim Frazier, 6-6 junior Ross Travis, 6-7 sophomore Brandon Taylor and 6-9 sophomore Donovon Jack. • The Nittany Lions will be bringing a Mercer County connection to Saturday's game, with sophomore Brandon Taylor as a Trenton Catholic Academy alumnus.• Penn State has shot better than 40 percent from the field in 10 straight games. The Lions have shot below 40 percent from beyond the arc in three straight games. For the season, Penn State is shooting 53 percent on its two-point tries.• In the six games in which Penn State has been held to 15 or fewer assists, the scoring margin is just +1.2 for the Lions. Penn State is 3-3 in those games (Wagner, Bucknell, Penn, St. John's, Mississippi, Pitt).• Opponents have shot better than 40 percent seven times against Penn State this season, but in neither of the last two games (Marshall, Duquesne). All three of Penn State's losses have come with the opponent shooting better than 40 percent, including Bucknell pouring in 60.9 percent of its shots. PSU is 4-0 when holding opponents below 40 percent (Wagner, Monmouth, Marshall, Duquesne).• Penn State's 3FG% defense has been up and down this season. The Lions opened by holding Wagner to a mere 2 of 23 (.087), but then allowed Bucknell to make 10 of 15 (.667) before holding opponents below 40 percent for the next four games. Over the last five, St. John's, Mississippi and Marshall have averaged .484 collectively against PSU, while Pitt and Duquesne averaged just .176.• Over the last five games, Penn State has been outrebounded four times and has a rebounding deficit over that stretch of -2.8 rpg.• D.J. Newbill has scored in double figures in every game this season. However, Penn State is 4-2 when he scores 18 or more and 4-0 when he doesn't. • Brandon Taylor was hot from 3-point range earlier in the season, going 13 of 27 (.481) over the first five games. Over the last six, however, Taylor is just 7 for 30 (.233).• Penn State has averaged nearly a foul-out a game this season, and no one player is a main culprit in the nine DQs over 11 games. Five players have fouled out, with Brandon Taylor taking five whistles on three occasions. Two of those for Taylor were early in the season, against Bucknell and Penn, but Taylor drew four fouls each against Pitt and Marshall before taking five last time out against Duquesne. On the whole, Penn State hasn't fouled much more than its opponents, however, 231-226 on the season.• D.J. Newbill and Donovon Jack are averaging better than half made from the field this season, with Newbill at .504 (70-139) and Jack at .554 (31-56). Take out Newbill's .444 3-point clip (20-45), and he's hitting .532 from two-point range (50-94). Jack is also strong from distance, making 9 of 18 (.500), but even stronger from two, making 22 of 38 (.579).• Six Lions (Newbill, Frazier, Travis, Taylor, Roberts, Jack) have played 85.1 percent of the minutes and scored 92.4 percent of the points.

These strings have a highly flexible, multi-strand nylon core and cater for artists who feel uncomfortable with steel strings. The resounding success of the Dominant string owes a lot to its similarity in tone and response to gut strings, without gut's attendant drawbacks.
The sound of the Dominant string is full and mellow, yet rich in overtones. Its radiance, its ability to project sound without being metallic, comes to the fore both in arco and pizzicato. Other advantages are Dominant's effortless response to intricate fingering and its tuning stability even under extreme atmospheric conditions. But Dominant's beauty of tone is not as long lasting as that of a steel string, a price the discerning musician will be prepared to pay for this quality of sound. Dominant strings should be changed at appropriate intervals to ensure continuity of tone color.

SunPower price estimate revised on industry outlook
To counter weak global sales, the company plans to reduce supply-chain inefficiencies and streamline its manufacturing process.
Global panel sales are expected to show a yearly drop in 2012 as leading markets like Germany see a pullback in government subsidies.
SunPower is responding to the changing markets by focusing on its niche, high-efficiency panels while taking steps to make itself more cost competitive. The company is facing strong competition from Chinese players like Suntech Power (STP), which have responded to the downturn in the industry by aggressively cutting prices.
We have revised our price estimate for SunPower to about $7.50, a 30% premium to its current market price.
Strategic focus shifting
SunPower is focusing on the residential and leasing segments in the American market, which was the biggest contributor of revenues in the last quarter. The company saw its sales decline in two of its three main geographical markets. Sales in the American market dropped to $367 million, registering a 28% drop over the previous quarter. Sales in Europe and the Middle East (EMEA) declined by 37%, while revenues from the Asia Pacific (APAC) region showed a modest 6% sequential increase. Margins in the EMEA region fell down to 2.2% in the quarter as low demand from countries like Germany factored into its performance. Margins in Americas and APAC stood at 16.5% and 14.5% respectively in Q1 2012.
Going forward, SunPower will focus on reducing its manufacturing and operating costs to stay competitive in the low price market. While the company will continue to develop its industry leading high efficiency panels, it is also taking steps to reduce supply chain inefficiencies and make its manufacturing process more seamless.
The company announced the closure of one of its fabrication plants in the Philippines recently. SunPower is hoping that these changes will help reduce its cost of manufacturing panels to about $0.86/watt.
Financially, the company is also looking to shore up its balance sheet position by retiring some of its debt and shifting to a demand-driven supply chain and improving inventory turns. We have revised our sales outlook for the company and updated our margin and cost estimates to arrive at our $7.45 price estimate for the stock.

Game Photos: Click Here
Lewiston, ME— The Pirates fell behind the Worcester Sharks early on Wednesday night and despite rallying, were unable to come back from the early deficit, dropping a 5-3 decision at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston. Lucas Lessio, Andy Miele and James Melindy all scored for the Pirates while Chris Rawlings, called up from the CHL on Tuesday, made 19 saves on 20 shots in relief of starter Louis Domingue. The Shark's victory came in Worcester Head Coach Roy Sommer's record breaking 1,257th AHL game behind the bench.
The first period belonged to the Sharks as they took a 3-0 lead. Matt Tennyson broke the ice, scoring at 6:29 on a backhander that deflected off a Pirates stick and past Louis Domingue. At 8:44, the Sharks extended their lead when Travis Oleksuk put away a pass from Adam Schmidt who had dug it out from behind the net. Then, in the dying moments of the first, Matt Pelech gave the Sharks the three goal lead when he beat Domingue from the blue line with just 1.5 seconds remaining.
Domingue, who has been battling an illness, was replaced by Rawlings at the start of the second. During the second frame, Pirates picked up their play, eventually getting on the board at 14:26. After a puck squirted out of a scrum near the Sharks blue line, Lessio swooped in, grabbed it off the boards, danced around a defender and fired a shot on Troy Grosenick. The puck appeared to be swallowed up by the Worcester netminder, but it trickled through his pads and over the line. The goal extended Lessio's point streak to four games and gives him 46 points on the year (23g, 23a), fifth amongst AHL rookies.
After getting the Pirates on the board, Lessio drew a holding penalty to Dylan DeMelo, allowing Miele to score his team-best 24th goal of the year at 15:59. Miele fed a cross-ice pass to Tobias Rieder who kicked the puck from his skates and passed to Brandon Yip. Grosenick denied Yip's shot, but Miele was waiting on the doorstep and stashed home the loose rubber.
Less than two minutes later, the Sharks were able to recapture their two-goal lead as Eriah Hayes beat Rawlings on a breakaway at 17:41.
The Pirates hung tough in the third, looking for a way to tie the game and with just 1:11 left, James Melindy capitalized with Rawlings pulled to pull the Pirates within one. But the Sharks would end the rally there, scoring just seconds later with Rawlings pulled again, sealing the game 5-3.
The Pirates will next play host to Providence on Friday night for the 2nd annual Purple Night presented by Central Maine Medical Center. Fans are encouraged to wear purple to the game as the Pirates raise awareness for cancer care by wearing special Purple jerseys. All 50/50 raffle proceeds will benefit the Central Maine Cancer Institute and a jersey signed by TV and movie star Patrick Dempsey will be raffled off to benefit the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing.
Friday's game can be heard on the Pirates flagship stations WPEI 95.5/95.9 FM as well as WEZR FM 105.5/AM 1240 in the Lewiston/Auburn area and WTME AM 780/1450 in Oxford County. The game can also be heard online at portlandpirates.com by clicking "Listen Live" and can be seen live on AHL Live at ahllive.com. The pregame show starts at 6:40 with Jeff Mannix.

When the cliche stands tall
Inspirational football movie tries too hard for its own good
When the Game Stands Tall is based on a true story – an unbelievable true story that takes the word "inspiring" about as far as it can go.
It's a film about Bob Ladouceur, coach of the De La Salle High Spartans, a California high school football team with 12 consecutive undefeated seasons (a staggering 151 games won in a row).
Along the way, Ladouceur (played by Jim Caviezel) faced the kind of hardship most football coaches (thankfully) can only imagine – suffering a near-fatal heart attack, the death of a star player, and rebuilding the team after that 151-game streak came to a humiliating end. > Read more.

Consider Lower Noise PEL Instead of New Econ Feasibility Interpretation, ASSE Tells OSHA
Adding to previous comments opposing OSHA's Interpretation of Provisions for Feasible Administrative or Engineering Controls of Occupational Noise, ASSE suggested in a letter to Assistant Secretary David Michaels that a more valuable measure to reduce noise exposures would be lowering OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) for noise from 90 dBA to 85 dBA. At the lower PEL, however, engineering controls can become exponentially more expensive and difficult to achieve, adding to the reasons OSHA should not pursue a new economic feasibility interpretation. ASSE also urged OSHA to communicate more widely its stated practice of working cooperatively with employers to achieve incremental improvement in noise levels over reasonable periods of time.

We arrived quite late to Paris – all of us hungry and super tired. After checking into rooms, Idrissou called - something special was on its way. He said it would take awhile, but to hold our appetite. Around midnight, there was a knocking on doors outside in the hall. We looked out and were beckoned by a small group of excited guys, eyes sparkling! "Come, the food is here!" We followed them down the hall and walked into heaven.
Gaetan's room smelled like the fish restaurant in Yaounde. Gaetan's parents had come from Paris and brought an unimaginable feast of Cameroon dishes. There was THE FISH. Tilapia, grilled perfectly with onions and lemon.
Bobolo, made of fermented cassava shaped in a loaf, and ndole which is made of boiled, shredded bitterleaf (a type of green), peanuts, and melon seeds, seasoned with spices and hot oil.
There was also plantains and the most delicious - but hottest hot pepper sauce ever. Thank you parents of Gaetan, it was the best midnight snack ever. In turn, each one asked ... C'est bon?? OUI! OUI!

This stainless steel pan has gold plated handles for a stunning appearance. The pan's dimpled surface spreads heat evenly for a perfect paella every time. And its stainless steel construction means it won't discolor or rust between uses
Paella began as a humble dish in the Valencia region. Farmers cooked rice, vegetables and game over an open fire in the fields, adding whatever ingredients were available. From this beginning a tradition of grand cuisine was built, and now many of the finest restaurants in Spain serve wonderful paellas featuring the finest ingredients.
Clean your stainless steel paella pan with warm soapy water before its first use. The thick gauge steel is dimpled, so the head is distributed evenly across the pan. We recommend using wooden cooking spoons so that the surface is not scratched by metal tools.
This beautiful paella pan creates a magnificent presentation when you serve your paella, and is an adornment for your kitchen between uses.

As noted wordsmith/American Idol judge Randy Jackson points out during a discussion with the Fox reality stalwart's judges, host, and producers, the show is supposed to be all about the aspiring singing superstars.
""The judges don't win the contestants win,"" Jackson says during the show's Television Critics Association winter press tour panel.
But why, then, was the Q&A session almost entirely comprised of questions regarding the three new superstar judges, and more specifically, the alleged feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj?
It's not just the two women who fight, explains executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. ""Whatever feuds there have been, it hasn't just been between Nicki and Mariah,"" he says.
Besides: the new judges all knew what they were getting into. ""This is a very passionate panel. I think there are a lot of strong personalities, and starting this process I [knew] that there was a possibility that there would be different opinions,"" Carey says when a journalist asks her about the fighting that allegedly took place during the auditions.
""We fight constantly,"" she admits, but wishes the media would focus on something else. ""This is American Idol. It's bigger than all that. It's bigger than some stupid trumped-up thing.""
Fox reality head Mike Darnell tells reporters that the feud is very much real ""It's authentic. There's passion in this group,"" he says something Carey and Minaj inadvertently confirm after insisting that they've made peace.
""It was sort of a one-sided thing,"" Carey says of the much-publicized video of a screaming match between the pair, to which Minaj quickly interjects: ""No, it wasn't.""
American Idol premieres Wednesday, Jan. 16 at 8 p.m. on Fox.

There are many pages to be found on the internet on the topic of
infant baptism and
baptism. What do the papers here have to offer?
Proverbs 18:17 has an interesting insight to consider, "The one who
states his case first seems right, until the other comes and
examines him." The papers posted here have been constructed in
the form of a written debate. Both proponents of believer's
baptism and infant baptism have an opportunity to make their case. After each position is given, the opposing side has an opportunity
to examine it. This cross-examination is very helpful in
sorting out what is in fact true scriptural teaching.
The papers presented here on believer's baptism and infant baptism are the result of many hours of
discussions with those of differing views as well as the reading of
a good number of books on the topic. This study
spans the last 30
years. The goal now is to bring these papers to the attention
of as many people as possible via the internet so they can provide
insight from their study of God's Word.
Perhaps it will be beneficial at this point to say it
is our belief that infant baptism is indeed biblical. Be sure
to check out the following pages for more specifics. It is our
