Fans of the Transformers films are still mourning the loss of the beautiful Megan Fox as the actress has decided against being a part of the series any longer, but the show must go on so today we bring you the first trailer for the third installment: Transformers Dark of the Moon .
The plot of the movie can be summed up using the synopsis of the book with the same title: "The Autobots Bumblebee, RatchetRatchet, Ironhide and Sideswipe led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009's 'Transformers Revenge of the Fallen'. In this new movie, the Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) has to come to the aid of his robot friends. There's new characters too, including a new villain in the form of Shockwave, a longtime 'Transformers' character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth."
Transformers Dark of the Moon begins on July 20th, 1969, the day a human first set foot on another celestial body for the first time, but also the day when we realized that we were not alone in the universe. That part of the movie is actually fact, but whatever happens next will be sensationally fictional, but we'll have to wait until July 1st, 2011 to find out what that is. And by the way, the movie will be offered in 3D.

Gift tags for wedding favors
Floral Ornament Wedding Favor Tags This is a wonderful company to work with! My only complaint about this product was the print came out much smaller than I had expected. Otherwise, wonderful!
Beautiful, customizable, great customer service
Floral Ornament Wedding Favor Tags I used these for my daughter's baptism celebration. The tags turned out exactly how I ordered them. Paper, color, font, all as I expected and done beautifully. I'm a perfectionist and I am Very satisfied. I would have wanted to have a larger print size for the name but in the computer it would not allow a larger text in the space but there was room on the tag. I'm sure if I had requested it they would have accommodated but I needed them ASAP so I did not do so. Also, I required more than the 25 I initially ordered and customer service answered quickly and were able to add more to my order. In fact when the tags arrived there were extra tags. That was great, I used them for other items.
Lovely presentation
Floral Ornament Rectangle Invitations Of course it's exciting to get your invitations but it was made even better by Magnet Street's thoughtful presentation. The charming blue box with helpful hints in addition to the invites were a pleasant surprise. And with the generous discount code, this was the best price for wedding paper I found for the quality it offered!
Beautiful Fan programs
Dramatic Roses Wedding Program Fans I ordered the dramatic rose fan programs. They came out fantastic. I absolutely love the work that magnet street does. I did my save the dates, invites and now the programs with them. I couldn't be happier with their service.
Classic and beautiful
Dramatic Roses Tea-length Invitations I ordered this invitation for my wedding in Dec. of 2014. The classic rose design grabbed me right away and I couldn't let go of the idea of getting these invitations. I looked more at other sites and couldn't find anything that came close to these. The editing and personalization process seemed a little complicated at first, but once I got the hang of things, I was able to make these invites exactly what I wanted. Once ordered, I got my package, with everything from the whole order included, in just a few days. These were packaged very well and to top it off, the invites came out so wonderful. I love them!

Nike Air Force 180 High "Hyper Red"
It seems like the Nike Air Force 180 will have a pretty stacked lineup set to release in the upcoming weeks. There is another colorway that just surfaced in a White/Hyper Red-Photo Blue combination that will be added to the list. The upper is in a predominately white upper complemented with Hyper Red accents throughout.
The vintage look is finished off with a speckled gradient midsole and Photo Blue accents from the tongue. Although the release date is unconfirmed, one thing is for sure is that the Nike Air Force 180 High model will have an abundant amount of colorways to choose from. Stay tuned to TSG for the latest updates.

Whats the difference between the High top and mid of the 180s? They look exactly the same to me
These look like some joints Scottie wore back in the day!
yeah these got that retro feel.
not 100% sure i feel the black to red fade though. i think all red would look better.
These are on some 91 Scottie Pippen right here… If I didn't have 10+ other white/red shoes I'd get these.

The Panimage PI1003DW is an impressive member of the Pandigital family of digital picture frames. This 10.1-inch LCD screen with 800 x 480 resolution and 250:1 contrast ratio gives excellent clarity and definition to your favorite photos. The 15:9 widescreen viewing aspect ratio provides an attractive presentation for all your images. Up to 1,250 images can be stored on 256 MB of internal memory. A black wood frame blends with any décor and interchangeable charcoal gray and white mats add a professional finished presentation. Founded in 1998, Pandigital recognized the need to bridge new and traditional technologies like a digital camera and an elegant picture frame. Photography captures the special moments in our lives, moments that cannot be properly displayed or appreciated on the back of a digital camera. Pandigital has shipped more that 4 million digital picture frames and is one of the top 50 fastest growing companies in the US. In 2008, they were the #1 supplier of digital photo frames in North America. Their digital picture frames are of substantial quality, elegant and intuitive designs, they are versatile and affordable. They have helped millions of people move images out of their camera and back into their lives.
The perfect companion to your digital camera
We capture our most precious, and our most common, moments because they are not to be forgotten or taken for granted. The moment when we take a picture we are making a decision to be conscious, to be in the moment and to be grateful for it. But a photo in a camera or on a flash card is only an unfulfilled intention. Let your images free. Give them the power they deserve in your life to make you smile, to remember, or to pause for a moment and consider the past. Take advantage of personal features like rotate and resize, backwards and forwards controls, brightness and color adjustments, programmable on and off, and your presentation will be seamless.
The gift of a digital photo frame to a friend or loved one is every bit as meaningful as the gift of one to yourself. Who doesn't need a pick-me-up right about now ? It is said that the gift of experience is so much more meaningful than a mere material object. If that is the case, then the gift of re-experiencing those special moments must be priceless.
Share yourself with a slideshow
Framed pictures are such great conversation starters, and we get to know each other a little better when we share ourselves by displaying photos of friends, family, and favorite occasions. How much better we get to know each other through the use of slide shows, which allow us to showcase many special moments. We have seen our photo frames set in slide show mode at parties, family reunions, and gatherings to help establish a theme, at wedding anniversaries and bridal showers to highlight special moments in a couple's past. A slideshow on this Panimage PI1003DW is as easy as inserting your memory card; transition effects between images add to the entertainment. Additional playback modes include shuffle and thumbnail for easy previewing and the built-in card reader accepts SD, xD, MS, MS Pro, MMC and USB flash drives.
A little known feature is the built-in calendar and clock. If space on your bedside table is tight, there's no reason to not have a digital picture frame, just mount it on the wall using the built-in wall mount tabs. It's as easy to hang as a picture. The panel can be turned off at night so that the light won't interfere

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
Nitro's Magnum series is a perennial favorite among all snowboarding aficionados, and it's no wonder. The performance and price are just right. The Magnum builds on Nitro's expertise with a traditional tip-to-tail poplar wood core that holds its shape but bends when needed and delivers the comfortable ride you expect from a wood board. Nitro then applies their Bi-Lite proprietary biaxial fiberglass and composite resin for ruggedness, stiffness and control without effort. The HiDef FH ultra clear extruded base gives a fast ride, holds your wax and stands up to the job no matter what the snowpack is like. For beginners to intermediate snowboarders.
Here at The House. Talking about hands down the best selling wide snowboard of all time. Nitro Magnum snowboard has been in their line since I started here a good 8 or 9 years ago. So long I don't even remember when it started. What you're looking at here, definitely for guys who have a little more girth going on, to their foot. Definitely gonna work good for the 12 to 15 crowd. Of the wide snowboards that they carry this is pretty much the widest, so maybe even say the 13 to 16 crowd is gonna be best off on this snowboard.
As with any of the Nitro boards, it's gonna be super durable. It's got a 2 year warranty to back it up. You're looking at directional twin construction on this one. Can be rocked as a twin for the park and be ridden for a directional snowboard for the rest of the mountain. Basically you got nice flat sidewall construction, they don't put a lot of material directly over it to save weight, but it does have very good bite going through any icy hard pack trim. It's gonna be much more durable than any other traditional cap construction would be.
From there moving into the base, you've got a really nice extruded base. Very easy to take care of, you don't have to wax it quite as much, it's gonna be easier to repair of you get a gouge from a rock or rail onto it. It's got their tried and true power core, very light weight, very powerful as far as carving and stuff like that goes.
One of the reasons why this Magnum has always been a good seller for us, and for me personally, is the weight of it. It is definitely lighter than most of the other wide snowboards out there, which is good for any snowboard when you start adding the width you're increasing the surface area exponentially. Definitely good to have a snowboard with lighter weight. Nitro Magnum snowboard, can't say enough good things about it. Sweet turning snowboard, really just any kind of rider can get on this thing when they got the bigger foot and they'll have a dream with it.
First up, I used to own this board, before someone stole it from me. It was a reasonable board with a very generous waist width that is great for the guy with the bigger boot. The board itself is very stiff, and hence, very hard to butter; but having said that, it has some reasonable pop on it. The Nitro Magnum can handle the higher speeds, although I'm not sure if it would be the greatest board to bomb black diamonds on. Overall, this board would suit a beginner to intermediate rider who is looking for a board that caters for their larger boot size
An excellent 'all mountain' choice for the taller and heavier riders with big feet. This board had the widest waist width I could find from all the local stores and has completely solved my toe drag problem with size 13 boots. Being a NITRO, you can count on quality materials and workmanship. I found this board to be very similar in feel to a Burton Canyon with average flex and an outstanding price tag to match. If you're a big fella, have a go and you won't be disappointed.

One Direction's new video for "You & I" features a pretty cool special effect where each member of the band appears to morph into another member. But it's a different special effect in the clip which now has an Australian film company accusing them of plagiarism.
At about the 2:45 minute-mark in "You & I," the members of the band, and various objects around them, appear to "freeze." Then, the guys, and the objects "enter" their frozen images, and they begin moving again. But as the Australian Herald Sun reports, the exact same technique was used before, in a video for a Melbourne band called Clubfeet. A film production and animation company called Oh Yeah Wow, who did that video and won an award for it last year, claim that they invented the visual trick and that 1D has blatantly appropriated it.
Oh Yeah Wow posted a message on its Facebook page accusing 1D of ripping them off. They blogged about it, and have encouraged others to take to social media and call out the band and their director, Ben Winston , on this. In addition, they've tweeted at the various members of the band, asking them to 'fess up to their plagiarism, and tried to contact Winston's production company, all to no avail.
Seamus Spilsbury , from Oh Yeah Wow, tells the paper, "We haven't heard any word from the band ... we have had a few emails from fans though, some voicing their anger and others that are supporting us."
He adds, "The technique is created using a number of well established [video effects]. Our clip was the first to use these tricks in this conceptual context."
Why is the company so upset about this? On its blog, the company writes, "Plagiarism and copycatting is becoming increasingly common and acceptable. When did we, society, become so complacent as to allow this kind of behavior to become normal practice in the media industry? It is for this very reason we have decided...to rally some support -- for the last thing we want is a generation of kids labeling our Clubfeet video a One Direction rip off in years to come."
The company adds, "Considering the sleep deprivation one must endure to create an original piece with practically no budget, you can start to understand the annoyance we might feel when some affluent young bucks and a director devoid of creativity, decide to effectively steal (and subsequently dilute) our idea."

The Jeep Wave
I recently purchased a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. It is the second Jeep I have owned. My first was a used Wagoneer with full-time four-wheel drive when I was 22 (a couple of decades ago). The gas consumption put a serious strain on my University student budget at the time but I loved the vehicle.
My salesperson told me to expect "The Jeep Wave" from fellow Wrangler owners. It seems this brand bonding applies only to the one make of Jeep. I smiled and discounted it as part of the sales process. Well I was wrong. As soon as I drove away from the lot, fellow Jeep Wrangler owners were giving me the wave. Now I get disappointed if I do not receive one especially if I initiate the ritual.
So many of the marketing conferences I have attended have made reference to the cults of automotive brands including BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche. Harley-Davidson also gets frequent mention in this regard. Jeep is certainly worthy of acknowledgement in creating a brand sub-culture within its lineup. The only risk lies with consumers who buy for so many different reasons. In this case, does this brand club attract those seeking an association of similar people or does it put off the independent minded who are after a more selfish and singular image?

Learn me to script or help me make a script
Mar 22 2012, 05:21 PM
Post #1
Type: Undisclosed
I need a script for a combat system which is very much like the normal one but enhanced with a few additional features
here is the combat :
As you guessed already it is for a dbz remake project, here is how the combat works :
Typical turn based, hp, ki etc but it has a card system.
Cards have 2 numbers from 1 to 7. One is for attack and other defense, if for example i draw a card with nr 3 attack and enemy defense nr 3 i make medium damage and he medium block. If i draw 7 attack and he 1 defense i make enhanced damage and he weak block resulting in big damage. If i draw 1 attack and he 7 defense i make weak attack resulting in little damage.
Hope it's clear, also you cannot use any 'magical' attacks (energy attacks in case of dbz) unless you get the blue card.
There is also BP - Battle power. Battle power is a measurment of strong a character is. For example:
A character with 400 BP does 100% damage to a character with 400 BP. Accordingly a character with 400 BP would do like 50% less damage to a character with 800 BP, where as 400 BP vs for example 3000 BP would do 0% damage.
However the higher BP numbers the damage treshold goes up for the attacker and lessens for the defender. A 1 million BP char would still do about 80% to a 2 million BP char.
This may sound complicated on paper but is very fun and plays great ( just play the dbz game)
Also how it would be possible to make a transfer screen (like you see in the dbz) where they start fighting each other?
Anyone has an idea how to sript something like this? I would like to learn scripting but don't know how to start. I have the basics of rpg maker.
thx for any help

Since your wanting to learn how to script, it's best to post in the Learn ruby forum section. BigED always tells people the best way to learn is to learn RUBY itself. So I guess I would start there as well.

What's the Story of Your Food? Short Films by Nourish
What America's schoolchildren are eating is receiving a lot of attention these days. In schools across the country, there are edible schoolyards, visits with the First Lady, and interventions from Jamie Oliver. Nourish, a non-profit educational initiative, has taken up the question "What's the Story of Your Food?" and built it into a multi-media curriculum resource for K-12 educators, parents and health professionals. Nourish Short Films is their latest release.
Nourish Short Films: 54 Bite-Sized Videos about the Story of Your Food is filled with ideas and inspirations, offering topics for thought-provoking discussions, linking learning with action. Many of the well-known sustainable food advocates are here: Michael Pollan, Alice Waters, Jamie Oliver, Anna Lappe and Bryant Terry. Their messages may be familiar to those of us interested in food, but these films seek to preach outside the choir. Each one is a succinct little nugget of information and inspiration.
Nourish produces educational materials that encourage children to discover where their food comes from, how it is grown, who picks it, how it's distributed, and what are the advantages and disadvantages associated with it. Knowing the story of their food helps children, and by extent their families, make informed decisions about what they eat and empowers them to demand that food be safe, accessable and affordable for everyone.
Parents, educators, librarians, and community leaders will all benefit from Nourish's collection of videos and curriculum materials. As a parent, it might be interesting to take a label from a can of food and trace its story with your child. Or see if you can trace a cut of beef to the animal it came from. (Good luck!)
For more information, visit the jam-packed Nourish website where you can find many free materials. Several, but not all, of Nourish Short Films are available on YouTube.
Get It: Order the DVD for Nourish Short Films: 54 Bite-Sized Videos about the Story of Your Food, priced according to use, from $24.95.

What an important subject. We live on a farm so naturally these things are an integral part of how our kids grow up (butchering and raising and hunting your own, not to mention cooking - familiarity with the source of many things), and now we sent her to a local Waldorf school where again lunch gets prepared from scratch in her kindergarten (none of the USDA foods). I realize this is a privilege, not a given, and perhaps a fairly bourgeois privilege.

As its bland name might suggest, the newly released Windows 8.1 Update offers fewer new features than Windows 8.1 did when it launched last fall. Don't let that discourage you. Despite the smaller scale, the newest iteration offers the best Windows 8 experience yet, especially if you use a non-touch PC.
Like its predecessors, however, Windows 8.1 Update might baffle the uninitiated. Microsoft tweaked the UI to help longtime PC users feel more at home among Live Tiles, Windows Store apps, and charms. But depending on your hardware, some of the tweaks might be inactive by default. Moreover, even if they're turned on, you might want to disable some of the changes. Windows 8.1 Update is meant to be personalized, but that means the out-of-box settings aren't going to please everyone.
[Why are so many people still using Windows XP? Read Windows XP Holdouts: 6 Top Excuses.]
Still, once you've learned your way around, Windows 8.1 Update is more cohesive and productive than earlier versions, particularly if you prefer the desktop to the Start screen. Here are eight tips and tricks to help you get the most out of Windows 8.1 Update.
1. Start by tweaking the UI. Windows 8.1 Update installs differently on different machines. If you're using a tablet, it will still boot by default to the Start screen, but laptops and PCs now power up to the desktop UI. If your system isn't configured to your preferences, the UI can still be disorienting, and some of the new features might appear absent. It's best to personalize your settings right away.
There are several ways to do so. From the Start screen, you can use the new PC Settings Live Tile, or activate the Charms menu (swipe from the right of a touchscreen, or mouse to the top-right hot corner) and choose "Change PC Settings." Once in the PC Settings, choose "PC and devices," which includes a broad range of personalization controls.
Many users will want to check out "Corners and edges," which includes one of the update's marquee new features-- the ablity to choose whether Windows Store apps can be pinned to the desktop taskbar.
You'll also want to check out the PC Settings "Search and apps" menu. Its "Defaults" sub-menu lets you choose which programs deal with given file types. Previously, if you opened a jpeg from the desktop, you might have been thrust into the Modern-style Photos app. Windows 8.1 Update is designed to be smarter about file associations. Non-touch hardware should launch jpegs in Windows Photo Viewer instead of the Photos app, for example. Ideally, the update will make the same decisions you would-- but if not, this menu lets you sort things out.
You can also modify PC Settings from the desktop, either via the Charms menu or the Control Panel (right-click or press-hold the Windows button in the bottom left), or by right-clicking the taskbar and selecting

Rafting (Reo Rafting Resort/Ryan Robinson photo)
In Valemount, whitewater river rafting enthusiasts can choose from a wide variety of rafting trips through the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Whitewater thrill seekers can opt for a trip with fast-flowing rapids, while those looking for a more serene trip can enjoy a slow, gentle float where no paddling is required. Several rafting operators in Valemount provide guided rafting tours.
Take an exhilarating whitewater ride down the mighty Fraser River, which flows 1,375km/870mi south from Mount Robson into the Strait of Georgia. Choose a classic whitewater rafting descent with rapids ranging from class I - IV, or take a laid-back, scenic float and watch for bear, moose, eagles or salmon. Scenery highlights include Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, and Rearguard Falls, where leaping chinook salmon can be seen on their annual fall migration.
All guided whitewater rafting trips begin with a safety course covering proper equipment use and best practices when rafting. All equipment is provided. Visitors can choose from two local operators, Stellar Descents White Water Rafting and Mount Robson Whitewater Rafting. Gentler floats down the Fraser via large rafts (with no paddling involved) are also available with Eagle Raft Tours.

Evidence-Based User Experience Research, Training, and Consulting
We observed more than 300 people use hundreds of different websites (equaling 1.5 million fixations — or "looks" and recordings that comprise more than 300 GB of data). This 355-page report offers 83 recommendations for web writing and content layout, plus 102 detailed findings about how people read on the web, including scanning patterns revealed as we used eyetracking technology during usability tests.
The research findings are supplemented with 288 illustrations, which include the following:
This report is based on a research study with 300 people aged 18 to 64 years. The method we used is Eyetracking, in which we followed people's eye movement as they attempted activities on websites.
In addition to completing their own tasks, we asked people to attempt some of our prepared tasks (85 tasks total), ranging from very specific to very broad activities.
We conducted the study in an office and tracked each person's eyes using eyetracking technology. The researcher sat in the same room with the participant and observe the participant's screen in real-time using an external monitor.
After the study sessions, we analyzed each of the 1.5 million fixations that we captured. All of the studies took place in the United States, in New York City, NY and Boston, MA.

Don't Let the Fear Hold You Back
Neha is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It has been a topsy turvy ride for the shares of Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) over the last one year. After hitting an all-time high of $73 in April, the stock has seen a 50% correction. Initially, it was a speculation that David Einhorn had shorted Herbalife (based on some questions he asked on the company's 1Q earnings conference call) that sent the company's stock plummeting more than 20% in seconds. The company again became the center of attention last month after another renowned hedge fund manager Bill Ackman from Pershing Square Capital management, revealed a large short position in the stock. Just when the company seemed to be recovering from the setbacks, the shares toppled 8.2% after the Federal Trade Commission announced that it is shutting down Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing for being a pyramid scheme. Although the FTC announcement did not have anything to suggest that Herbalife is doing anything wrong (there was no mention of Herbalife in the FTC's conference), the back to back attacks have triggered uncertainty and negative sentiments among investors. But being too fearful can be just as costly as being too greedy.
Whether Herbalife is indeed operating in a pyramid structure is difficult to say at this point. What cannot be overlooked is the fact that the company has posted a phenomenal revenue growth of 25% per annum over the last 32 years. From a relative valuation standpoint, Herbalife's appears significantly undervalued based on the company's solid financial performance relative to its peers. Let's compare the valuation metrics, dividend yield and growth rates of Herbalife with Nu Skin Enterprises (NYSE: NUS) and Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD).
Based on these metrics, Herbalife is the clear winner. Herbalife is trading at a 62% discount to Church & Dwight despite having a significantly better expected growth rate. Thus, the stock appears to be highly undervalued on a PEG basis. Nu Skin is also worth a look given a PEG ratio of just 0.77 and an expected EPS growth of 38% in the recent quarter. Both Herbalife and Nu Sin score over Church & Dwight in terms of margins. Church & Dwight's gross margin (~40%) are almost half of Nu Skin and Herbalife (~80%).
Herbalife also offers the maximum dividend yield among these companies which is a good luxury to have in this world of low interest rates. The following are some other reasons that make me bullish on this stock.
Exposure to highly attractive nutritional supplement market
The worldwide supplement industry has seen tremendous growth over the last decade (growing at nearly ~10% annually over this period) and its current market size is estimated to be close to $180 billion. As a result of consumer education campaigns emphasizing general health and well being, Nutrition supplements now enjoy wide acceptance in the United States with more than half of adults taking vitamins and supplements each day and around 10% of the population popping more than five supplements a day. Going forward, I remain confident about the growth story that is emerging in the nutritional supplement market given favorable macro factors (like aging population and rising obesity rates), increasing acceptance of non-traditional therapies and growing demand for lower-cost alternatives as a quick nutritional fix. Thus, I remain confident about the company's growth prospects given its portfolio of affordable products.
Huge long term growth opportunity in China
In my opinion, China can be a potential game changer for the company. While its peers generate a large chunk of their revenues from China, Herbalife lacks penetration in this geography. China still represents Herbalife's smallest region sales-wise and thus, I see a huge opportunity for additional expansion. Encouragingly, the company is doing well in China, with net sales and volume point growth of 39% and 41%, respectively, in the third quarter compared to the prior-year period and I expect the trend to continue for many years to come.
There is no denying the fact that the wellness industry is growing at a rapid pace and Herbalife looks well positioned with its portfolio of affordable products. The company has a vast scope for additional expansion and China could prove to be the potential game changer. I would recommend investors to exploit the short term negativity around this stock and grab this buying opportunity backed by strong future prospects.

Wednesday marks 50 years since one of the most memorable, moving, and important speeches in American history. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech in Washington D.C. helped persuade the nation to approve sweeping new civil rights laws the years that followed.
A special celebration is planned Wednesday in Washington on the spot where king delivered his speech. There are also plans in Chicago to commemorate another anniversary: the day Dr. King moved his family into a ramshackle, West Side apartment building at 1550 South Hamlin on January 26, 1966.
45 families reside in the modern, multi-colored brick apartment building that now occupies the corner of Hamlin and 16th Street. For six months in 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., his wife Coretta Scott King and their children lived in a run-down, tenement building that once stood here, while King campaigned against segregation in the North.
"He actually lived and what he did in bringing light to fair housing in the world, in America, that we appreciate that. And that's why we have done, we have started on, right now," says Kim Jackson of the MLK Fair Housing Exhibit Center.
Kim Jackson said her group needs to raise about $300,000 to open a Fair Housing Exhibit in a first floor space on the site. January 26th is the target date, the 48th anniversary of the King Family moving into North Lawndale.
Beyond that are far more ambitious plans for a "Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial District" that would require millions of dollars. On Thursday evening, there will be a gathering of longtime Lawndale residents past and present.
"People who actually were part of history here when Dr. King actually lived here and we're gonna hear stories from them," Jackson explains.
The event is at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Chicago Hope Academy.

The Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Training Center has graduated its Basic Recruit Class 13-3.
A total of 37 graduates representing eight law enforcement agencies were in attendance at the 2 p.m. ceremony at the Tucson Convention Center.
They are men and women who will get paid to protect the community, and a lot of intense training goes into making sure they are capable of doing the job, not to mention worthy of wearing the uniform.
Lt. Bruce Smith, a basic training commander at the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Training center said, every person sitting in the seat at the graduation made it through an intense 17-weeks of training.
Recruit class 13-3 started with 41 men and women. Four of them dropped out. Lt. Smith said, many of the recruits will drop out in the first week alone.
All the candidates have to go through intense background checks. They are not the only ones interviewed, police will even talk to their former employers and family members.
The physical endurance portion of the testing can weed out some of the recruits. Basic training requirements include running a mile and a half, jumping, and scaling a six foot wall.
They have to maintain good grades in academics and pass all of the written and oral tests as well.
In addition to that police said, recruits had to endure extensive psychological testing, and lie detector tests.
"It's a very strenuous process to get hired by the Tucson Police Department," said Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villasenor.
22 of the new graduates were joining the Tucson Police force.
"These are replacements for officers that have retired or left the agency. The goal we've had is to have 998 officers, right now we're about 15-20 short of that," said Chief Villasenor.
Even after getting sworn in, training is not over for the recruits. Chief Villasenor said the new hires would have to go through post basic training for six weeks, where they would be trained on TPD procedures.
Then for another 13-15 weeks new officers would be required to ride alongside an experienced officer on patrol, and be judged on a daily basis before they were assigned to a beat.
Tucson officers are on probation for a year and a half. Chief Villasenor said the probationary period used to be one year long, but they extended that to protect themselves and the city.
"As much as you test, as much as you scrutinize, sometimes there are things you just don't find out till you've had someone in your employment for a while."
The Tucson Police Department was put in a negative spotlight recently after two officers who were still on probation lost their jobs. Both were accused of breaking the law they were supposed to enforce.
In August, former Tucson police officer Ben Gabbala was charged with sexual misconduct for allegedly sexually assaulting a female jail inmate.
In July, former Tucson Police officer was charged with aggravated assault after allegedly waving a gun inside a convenience store.
Chief Villasenor said both men were within six months of being over their probationary period.
In March, former Tucson Police officer Martin Ward was booked on child porn charges. Ward recently pleaded guilty to Sexual Exploitation of a Minor.
Chief Villasenor said Ward had passed the probationary period. He had been with the department about six years.
"We do everything possible. All those individuals were removed because of our own self-initiated investigations," said Chief Villasenor.
During the graduation ceremony, the new officers were reminded that they would constantly be in the public eye, and be living public lives.
Their uniforms were a symbol of trust and integrity. Along with a gun and badge the officers were bound by a code of conduct.
John Bartley, a new Tucson Police officer said they had been hammered with that message in the last 17 weeks.
"We are reminded of it constantly. Everyone is watching you. When you have that uniform and badge, everyone is constantly watching you," said Bartley.
The biggest challenge the Tucson Police Department faced was retaining the new hires. Police say it cost about $100,000 to train just one officer.
According to numbers released by the Tucson Police Officers Association, the department lost about 26 officers last year to smaller agencies who were willing to pay more, and hire officers who had experience.
For the city of Tucson that was a loss of $2.6 Million dollars.
Chief Villasenor said he hoped to retain the officers by providing incentives for them to stay. Villasenor said he expected many retirements in the next two years and this would create opportunities for advancement and promotions, that other departments may not be able to provide.
The graduates include:
Benson Police Department - 2 graduates
Clifton Police Department - 1 graduate
Cochise County Sheriff's Department - 3 graduates
Douglas Police Department - 1 graduate
Gila River Police Department - 5 graduates
Globe Police Department - 1 graduate
Hopi Resource Enforcement Services - 2 graduates
Tucson Police Department - 22 graduates

The November 8th Issue of the Islander
It was a good day to be a Democrat on Mount Desert Island on Tuesday with area towns running for the most part true blue. Brian Hubbell was elected in District 35 and Rep. Walter Kumiega was reelected in District 36.
Incumbent Republican Senator Brian Langley, who noted throughout the campaign that he was often on the outs with Gov. Paul LePage, squeaked out a win county-wide but was far from first choice for many voters in towns around MDI.
Continuing its reputation as a progressive place, the island backed President Barack Obama, supported marriage equality and liked the idea of spending money to acquire public lands. Road bonds were a big hit too, no doubt fueled by all the soul searching done while prospective voters have been stuck in lengthy traffic jams.
Of course, the elections aren't the only news this week with officials in Mount Desert approving the purchase of TASER stun guns for police officers there. For many voters numbed by this year's overwhelming and negative campaigning, those devices might just come in handy to help tune out the scrum next time.
If those TASERS don't work, police can always resort to throwing rocks, providing they can find some now that the town has approved a moratorium on quarry operations.
In Bar Harbor, crews managed to salvage the area's own salvage barge that sank during the remnants of Hurricane Sandy. And, this is the weekend for the annual Pajama Sale where folks dress up in sleepwear and invade local stores and restaurants in search of deals. That is followed by the bed races. How all that zany activity differs from the last days of the campaign season remains to be seen.
All that, classified ads, letters and views, sports, entertainment, and visit with the construction crews working on Route 3 at night in Trenton, in this week's Mount Desert Islander.

Demi Lovato: A starring role on 'Glee' and the Internet
Monday held a few ups and downs for Demi Lovato.
Let's start with the downs. Radar Online reported that someone is trying to sell nudie shots of "The X-Factor" host. Although Radar claims the photos of the dark-haired woman are "identical" to Lovato — including the same tattoos — they aren't going to purchase them for our horny consumption. "These are Demi. The collection I have show some nude, including face, some including parts of the body Demi is known for — tattoos, butt, chin. Then, I have pictures of her getting rowdy," the shadowy figure says to the site.
But behind every nude-photo storm there is a guest-starring rainbow! That's the expression, right? Anyway, it was announced yesterday that Lovato will be appearing on the next season of "Glee" as Rachel Berry's friend. "I just heard the news! Excited to sing w you girl!" Tweeted Adam Lambert, who joined the show earlier this summer.
So in both cases, we can safely assume that we'll be seeing a lot more of Lovato in the coming months.

Research Community Mourns Death, Celebrates Life of Judah Folkman
One of the most highly praised and respected cancer researchers, Dr. Judah Folkman of Harvard University and Children's Hospital Boston, died last week from a heart attack. He was 74.
In the wake of his unexpected death, leading researchers praised his groundbreaking work on the role of angiogenesis in tumor development, calling him a pioneer who almost single-handedly altered how cancer is viewed and treated.
"Dr. Folkman championed and led the field of angiogenesis," said NCI Director Dr. John E. Niederhuber. "His dedicated leadership has created the ultimate legacy: a legion of students and fellows, many of whom are now important scientists and scientific leaders in their own right."
Dr. Folkman first came to national prominence in 1971, when he published a paper in The New England Journal of Medicine in which he proposed that tumors required a dedicated blood supply to form and grow, and that they orchestrated the formation of new blood vessels for this express purpose. Disrupting this process, he suggested, could be an effective cancer treatment.
"As a surgeon, I had seen tumors and handled them, and saw that the blood vessels converging on the tumor by the thousands, and coming from a long distance, appeared to be new," Dr. Folkman recounted in a 2001 interview, discussing the often intense, decades-long skepticism toward his angiogenesis theory.
By the mid-1990s, with a growing cadre of researchers investigating his theory in lab and animal model studies - including seminal work by Dr. Folkman and his laboratory colleagues - it became evident that his 1971 proposal was correct.
In February 2004, bevacizumab (Avastin) became the first specifically designed anti-angiogenesis agent to receive FDA approval, for the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Other agents have followed, including sunitinib (Sutent) and sorafenib (Nexavar), both approved for the treatment of kidney cancer, and at least 50 angiogenesis inhibitors are in clinical trials around the world.
More recently, angiogenesis research has taken many interesting twists, including clinical trials using low-dose, frequent chemotherapy as an anti-angiogenic treatment and using anti-angiogenesis agents to "normalize" the vasculature of brain tumors in order to more effectively deliver chemotherapy.
According to Children's Hospital Boston, in fact, more than 1,000 laboratories worldwide are studying angiogenesis. One of those is headed by Dr. Steve Libutti, head of the Tumor Angiogenesis Section in the Surgery Branch of NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR). Much of Dr. Folkman's success, Dr. Libutti says, was driven by his persistence and infectious enthusiasm.
"He was able to take very complicated concepts and explain them in a way that could allow anyone, regardless of their background or specific interest, to understand what he was talking about," he says. "If you went to one of his lectures, you always came out of it motivated to go cure cancer."
Dr. Folkman's work extended well beyond cancer, Dr. Libutti adds, spurring important new insights into and treatments for other conditions and diseases in which the vasculature plays a critical role, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and ischemic heart disease.
As much as anything, Dr. Folkman is most warmly remembered as the quintessential mentor. Dr. Kevin Camphausen, a branch chief in the CCR Radiation Oncology Branch who worked in Dr. Folkman's lab from 1999 to 2001, recalls that while the lab had a competitive atmosphere and Dr. Folkman had high expectations, he was generous with his time.
"He was a great mentor, incredibly kind, intelligent, and humble," Dr. Camphausen says. "He always took time to sit with you if you asked. He was willing to help everybody."
In addition to receiving numerous awards and honors, Dr. Folkman was highly supportive of NCI, most recently working closely with the NIH Trans-Institute Angiogenesis Research Program and, just 2 weeks ago, speaking to young investigators at the NCI Intramural Scientific Retreat.
Dr. Folkman is survived by his wife, Paula, and two daughters, Laura and Marjorie.

It's going to take a little longer for the Long Island Rail Road to make it to Manhattan's east side.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has pushed back the completion date for the East Side Access project four years to 2023.
The project to bring the Long Island Rail Road to Grand Central Terminal was originally set to be finished back in 2009, then was pushed back to August 2019.
The cost for the tunnel has also ballooned by $6.5 billion, bringing the current price tag to $11 billion.
When completed, East Side Access is expected to bring an estimated 160,000 Long Island Rail Road commuters to Grand Central each day.

And in THIS Corner
Earlier this month I changed my vote to Taylor Hall in the ongoing debate over this year's number one.
However, it's also important to remember that fan voting doesn't count for a hill of beans. The actual votes that count belong to Daryl Katz, Steve Tambellini, Kevin Lowe.
And most importantly, Stu (Magnificent Bastard) MacGregor.
The Oilers have talked at great length recently about the long term, usually in the form of a previous example of success. The Chicago Model, the Los Angeles example, and on it goes. My take is that the Oilers aren't so much interested in the best available player for next year, but rather the best overall player when all is said and done. I'll be 70 years old when the final results are tallied, so this is a long ranger in terms of forecast.
An interesting article in the Windsor Star quotes CS's director of scouting (Mark Seidel) and he has some excellent points. I won't quote the entire article (click through if you have the time), but here are some pertinent items:
- Seguin's played fewer games at the OHL level and posted the same point totals with lesser players.
- Hall's tremendous speed/strength advantage in junior hockey will not be as big an item once he arrives in the NHL.
We know all of these things intuitively, but it is hard to think about them when you see Taylor Hall looking like Hockey Jesus every second night at the Memorial Cup.
I'm a fan. I'm allowed to change my vote and be wrong. MBS has to get it right, but the one thing he can probably count on is that in this situation there probably isn't a wrong answer.

Capri Villa Damecuta
The fascinating remains of Emperor Tiberius' residence in Anacapri.
Excavations at Villa Damecuta began in 1937 under the direction of Amedeo Maiuri. Unfortunately however, the state of the ruins uncovered both here and at the Palazzo a Mare, testify to the deliberate destruction of the building's structure by the fortifications and military lines of communication built during the periods of Bourbon and English occupation.
Amongst the findings salvaged from recent excavations, are fragments of columns made from pure Greek marble. These point to the villa's rich décor of marble floors, stucco work, decorations and works of art. The panoramic loggia of the villa is still preserved and reflects a structure similar to that of the imperial loggia at Villa Jovis.
The most unique section however, is the part under the Medieval tower which consists of an alcove (cubiculum), preceded by a vestibule and panoramic terrace suspended over the precipice. The mass of volcanic dust found on the walls of the loggia indicate that the villa was damaged by the famous eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Today, the villa's ruins are submerged in a breathtaking pine grove adjacent to a military heliport and football pitch. To get to the villa, take the Grotta Azzurra road (30 minutes) or catch a bus from Viale T. De Tommaso.
Damecuta Tower
Located to the far west of the imperial villa, 151 metres above sea level, Damecuta Tower was originally built to defend the island from the raids of Saracen pirates in the Twelfth Century. It was later used as a fort by the English during the war against the French Bourbons when it was partially destroyed. Amongst the artefacts uncovered here are a Greek inscription from a sepulchre, green marble columns, an ancient Egyptian "cipollino" marble column with capital and base and the remains of plundered floors.

Working and discussion papers, September 2014
This paper focuses on the risks in the Chinese financial system, concluding that while an orderly unwind is expected, the current forecast by the International Monetary Fund of a very moderate impact of unwinding these risks is excessively optimistic. It then examines the impacts on low-income countries (LICs) and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) – which is primarily through exports – and suggests short-term policy responses need to be focused on stabilization but that, longer-term, the expected rebalancing of the Chinese economy towards consumption and higher-productivity production offers new opportunities for developing countries. Further research and policy support is needed to help them seize this opportunity.
