Driver's License or Mugshot?
Angela Chee: Like we don't already look bad enough in our driver's license photo -- now four states are adopting a "no smile" policy for your driver's license, and more could follow.
"Neutral facial expressions" are required at Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs) in Arkansas, Indiana, Nevada, and Virginia. That means you can't smile. Great, that's all I need -- an ugly, mean-looking photo of myself that has my birthdate on it in my wallet.
They are trying to cut down on fake IDs and license fraud. So these DMVs have installed high-tech software that compares license photos. If a new photo matches an existing one, the software sends an alarm that someone may be trying to assume another's identity, but the technology is flawed. Face-recognition software can fail if the facial expressions differ in each photo. They say dull expressions "make the comparison process more accurate."
I get the security reason, but seriously, will it work? Do they have to hire "the smile police"? I can picture it now. Photographer: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I said no smiling!"
Photographer: "I'm serious this time, wipe that grin off your face."
How many retakes will they do? And if they are comparing photos, what if my last photo had me smiling? Also, does that mean everyone has to have a mugshot on file, before the technology will really work? How long will that take? I usually just renew by mail anyway. I haven't taken a new photo in years.
And what if the other states never follow suit? So we'll have some happy states and some sad states. That doesn't seem fair.
You know what made me laugh even more? In the article I read, the Arkansas Driver Services Chief said, "They may allow slight smiles, you just can't grin really large." Great, now it's subjective. Well, for now I'm holding onto my old license and hoping I won't have to take a new photo anytime soon -- and if I do, I guess I won't grin really large!
|Angela Chee is a television host, voice-over artist and creator of TheZenMom.com as a resource for other moms because motherhood isn't always so zen. She is a first-time mom.
I guess they are really doing this b/c no one is smiling when they get pulled over!
LOL Littlepeapie. Funny, it's really hard to read about smiling without smiling!
Does this mean they'll make the lines go slower so no one even feels like smiling by the time they get up to renew?
This…..is crazy.
Thanks for the intriguing read! playtime is over and back to my school work.
Thanks for the absorbing read! Happy New Year and keep up the great work in 2011!

Maintaining system integrity with package management helpers
Clear the Decks
Linux has several convenient package management systems, but they are not entirely free of weaknesses. We show you how to keep the RPM package management system permanently stable and how to get rid of some ballast with just two small programs: rpmorphan and rpmrestore.
One of Linux's many highlights are the package management systems that make installing new application programs or deleting unneeded software far easier for the user.
The RPM system, which was originally designed by Red Hat and is now used by many other Linux derivatives, is supplemented by a variety of add-on programs that ensure the integrity of the operating system and thus permanently ensure a consistent basis without regular reinstalls.

International Monty Python Day
genji: RealGilliamJunkie has shamed me into taking an interest in our IMPD facebook thing again so I've created an event for next year if anyone wants to attend. I haven't created a 4th Oct. memorial event for Mr. Chapman as I feel someone like Colonel Daughter or another Mr. Chapman fan (not that I'm not one of those) might want to do so, or might do it more sensitively than I'm likely to.
"RealGilliamJunkie" <--- even better haha!
Ok, here's my question. When an event is created, is an invitation sent out to all members? Or do people only know about the event if they are keeping tabs on the group page? Invitations would be good.
killerrabit444: Everyday is monty python day for me (sorry if you've heard this quite stereotypical joke before)
genji: OK, so the 41st International Monty Python Day passed off ok. A little polite and unassuming, perhaps, but it seemed to happen. I've been thinking about 2011 and wondering what to call the events and what to plan for them.
I'm not sure what to call the remembrance of Mr. Chapman's death. I think "Tragic Tuesday" is a bit grim and I wondered if anyone had any better ideas?
Also, "International Monty Python Day" is a bit obvious. I thought next year it should be called "National Vole-strangling Day" or something - maybe something that celebrates individual nations' Pythonism as per the May-day film instead of trying to make it a global conglomerate. And, again, ideas for how to celebrate, please...
Maybe all those inventive gif-designers and fanfic writers on the forum could come up with something that could be launched on the day?
Also, perhaps facebook is not the ideal platform to manage it. I don't know what witchcraft Hanri is practised in but perhaps pythonline.com/hq could give us some webspace?
It's nearly a year away so there's plenty of time to design costumes, meet-ups, coordinated rewatches, etc.
Any ideas?
Don't give up on Facebook so easily. We got 60 members inside of basically a week just by a little word of mouth. That's not to say we can't do other things on the net as well, but don't give up on it so easily. We should keep that page updated throughout the year with Python news --> like this <--
I have some ideas. And I think if we seriously want to make a plan, we should all start thinking of ideas and then maybe get together in chatroom to toss around ideas if anyone knows how to set one up.
I was just saying last night, I wish they would do a theatrical re-release of the films. I know that's wishful thinking and I don't know who the "they" would be. I think it would have been cool to have all 4 films running for like a week - maybe a festival - maybe in some major cities - this past year for the 40th - because many of us are too young to have ever seen them on the big screen. I would love to. Obviously we cannot organize something like that but still....
Oh, I'm not suggesting we stop with the facebook page, just that we should try to go a bit further and perhaps use facebook as a promotional outlet rather than the centre of management. I agree, the facebook group (and some new events) should be updated (you're an admin, right?) and at least as much, if not more, effort should be put into it for next year.
A chat room's a good idea if we meet there maybe once a month or once a fortnight. I don't know how to set one up, but I could find out, hopefully.
TheRealGilliamFan: Happy International Monty Python Day to all :D It's just midday here in the states so I have a whole day of IMPD ahead!
Mrs Conclusion: Happy International Monty Python Day everyone! Enjoy your own celebrations. I'm opening a bottle of vino and settling down with a Python-Fest this evening! x
Hi! I was "festing" on Holy Grail, my favourite Python film, plus I went to see SPAMALOT last Thursday evening, so still in the King Arthur mood - haha! The vino was quite tasty too!! Not good having to go to work with a hangover though! xx
Hanri: I thank you, gentlemen. The year has been a good one for the Society (hear, hear). This year our members have put more things on top of other things than ever before. But, I should warn you, this is no time for complacency. No, there are still many things, and I cannot emphasize this too strongly, not on top of other things. I myself, on my way here this evening, saw a thing that was not on top of another thing in any way. (shame!) Shame indeed but we must not allow ourselves to become too despondent.
For, we must never forget that if there was not one thing that was not on top of another thing our society would be nothing more than a meaningless body of men that had gathered together for no good purpose. But we flourish. This year our Australasian members and the various organizations affiliated to our Australasian branches put no fewer than twenty-two things on top of other things. (applause) Well done all of you.
But there is one cloud on the horizon. In this last year our Staffordshire branch has not succeeded in putting one thing on top of another (shame!). Therefore I call upon our Staffordshire delegate to explain this weird behaviour.
I put this on my Tumblr. 54 reblogs!!! http://theterryjones.tumblr.com/post/1200257350/international-monty-pyth...
Well done TheRealGilliamFan!!!
54 reblogs?? cool !! thanks! now we're cookin with gas :D
Haha. Excellent. Thanks for posting that to the facebook group. I need to come up with some more content for it.
The only thing I can think of at the moment is a Spam thread in which each comment is just "Spam" and after sixteen of them the next person to comment writes "Lovely Spam", then "Wonderful Spam", etc.
I think they did earlier in this thread. It was fairly unanimous.
May would be a lovely month to hold it in, but the 15th has no direct significance to Monty Python. Nice random idea, though, with the averaging.
I think 5 October is a good day not just because it's the anniversary of the first TV show but also because Mr. Chapman died on 4 October so we can mourn his passing and then wake up next day to celebrate his (and the others') work. It's a bit like Easter.
Also, there's a bit of a lead up to it with Doune Castle in early September, then Talk Like A Pirate Day and the Yellowbeard link, then Lumberjack Day (thanks to Hanri for sharing that on facebook), and finally the 4th/5th of October. I think it works out quite well.
Someone tried this for last year's 40th anniversary but only got 22 followers. The page wasn't very interesting, though. Not sure why 25 November was chosen.
Then there was this, which also didn't garner much support.
As mentioned in my original post, there was also this.
The question is why weren't they successful, can such a page be successful and, if so, how? Three questions - the three questions are why weren't they successful, can such a page be successful and, if so, how? And can a page be designed to look more Pythonesque?
The fan-based Monty Python pages (MPFC, MP and Holy Grail) have staggering numbers of followers.
Tweet the facebook page. I'll submit the link to pinging sites :D

ALAMEDA, California — Coach Dennis Allen says he expects to know who will start at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders when the team returns to practice Monday.
A sore elbow for Matt Schaub and a strong finish to the preseason by rookie Derek Carr have injected some doubt into what had seemed to be a resolved issue as recently as four days ago.
Allen said unequivocally Monday that Schaub would start the opener at the New York Jets on Sept. 7 even as he was sitting out the week of practice with a sore throwing elbow.
But Allen was far from definitive on Friday, a day after Carr threw three touchdown passes and led the Raiders to the end zone on all four drives he played in the exhibition finale against Seattle.

I really need money for Otakon this weekend. I have gotten literally 0 commissions and I will get little to no money from my family as we are struggling to come up with the rent this month and are trying to pay for my mother's physical therapy as she has been in the hospital for over seven months now. I do not beg for money (though if you really, really want to give, go ahead), so I have resorted to selling some of my things that I don't need as much. If you want to pick up at Otakon, you don't have to pay shipping and you can pay in cash. If you can't, I really will need the money through Paypal by Friday and I will ship it out as soon as possible (though I have to charge for shipping). I'm being really fair with my prices because I am pretty desperate, so please consider buying something or at least reblog for signal boost.
Here's what I have:
iPod Touch 4g 32GB: $80
It's in perfect working condition and has absolutely no major scratches in the screen and is not cracked. The metal back is scuffed from normal use. Never had any water damage or any major drops. This is a great price, as ones in similar condition (light wear, no cracks) can go for well over $100 on ebay.
AM WWII Replica Compass: $18
Perfect condition, never used, and perfect for any steampunk cosplay. The piece is functional and completely metal and glass (no plastic) and even has a sight. It's a bit hard to open since it's never been used. Goes for $30+ online. Comes with the original box.
Lucky Star/Generic Winter Sailor Fuku Uniform: $30
Fits sizes US 14-16. Worn once, no stains or holes. Includes top and skirt.
I also have an old acoustic guitar for sale. It's a Trump Model TS27 with light wear. It also has a cheap case. Unfortunately, it would be ungodly expensive to ship this thing, so you'd have to pick it up from my house. I also have no idea what it's worth. If you're interested, I can provide pictures.
So yeah. I'm pretty desperate for cash right now. Please don't force me to borrow money from my friends. I have super cheap commissions open right now. Thanks for reading and/or reblogging.
Message me here or send an email to milkymaelstrom (at) aol (dot) com if you're interested. This is also my paypal email.
Edit: Now with working pics.

Time sensitive considerations before your opening balance sheet date
IFRS Watch - Issue 34
This article is directed at entities classified as "Other public interest entities" in the government roadmap to adoption of IFRS in Nigeria. These entities are those entities, other than listed entities (unquoted, private companies), which are of significant public interest because of their nature of business, size, or number of employees or their corporate status which require wide range of stakeholders.
All other public interest entities are expected to mandatorily adopt IFRS, for statutory purposes, by January 1, 2013. Entities falling into this category will be required to establish an opening IFRS balance sheet, and convert their 2012 annual comparative financial statements, in addition to publishing their IFRS compliant 2013 financial statements.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Raytheon Co
Raytheon hopes to book large missile defense orders from Kuwait, Oman and Qatar before the end of the year, Wasjgras said in a telephone interview on Thursday.
Wasjgras said he is fairly confident about Raytheon's overall business outlook as it closes out 2013, and noted that mandatory military budget cuts required under sequestration were not hitting the defense industry as quickly as initially expected.
Raytheon also remains confident that it will prevail in two separate protest actions filed against recent large contract awards it won from the Navy, he said.

TomTom Home 2.5.2, which ships with the TomTom Go 930 and other TomTom GPS devices, ably manages your maps, media, landmarks, and Voices.
If you need a no-nonsense route-planning package with support for lots of GPS receivers, or a tool to easily convert GPS data between different formats, get RouteBuddy 2.3.
MacGPSPro 8.3 is a stable application that provides raster map support—a unique feature that could be the deciding factor if you have serious research, maritime, or custom mapping needs.
The best reason to use a Garmin GPS is the company's fantastic Mac software. Garmin is the pre-eminent producer of GPSs, and its RoadTrip package is the leader of its pack, too.
For voice chat users who spend a lot of time near a Mac (but not right in front of it), the DialogPhone provides more freedom and mobility than a Bluetooth headset.
Making calls over the Internet can shrink your home phone and cell phone bills. But voice over IP (VoIP) is more than just thrifty—it mixes traditional calling with new features that simply aren't possible with a plain old telephone. Ready to jump on the bandwagon? Here are answers to some of the most common questions.
Internet telephony and VoIP: What's the difference?
If you want to dive into the world of Internet telephony but prefer to use your existing phone—not VoIP software on your Mac—as your primary calling device, you might consider subscribing to an Internet telephony service provider.
WengoPhone Firefox extension 0.68
Most desktop VoIP communication tools are stand-alone applications that operate independent of other software on your Mac. But the newest beta version of WengoPhone Firefox Extension lets you tap into the world of VoIP calling from within Firefox.
Voice over IP, or VoIP, is an emerging technology that allows you to use your broadband Internet connection to place and receive voice and videophone calls. By adding some desktop VoIP software tools to your Mac, you, too, can take advantage of Internet calling.
PhoneValet Message Center 4.0.3 is a business-grade telephony automation tool that sports very powerful recording, call logging, and search functions. If you need to get take control of your phone communications, there's no better choice than PhoneValet.
Phlink 3.0.1. is a well-designed application that is ideally suited to individuals who want to get a handle on their day-to-day phone routine.
PhoneValet is great for anybody who wants to log, record, and automatically answer calls with a Mac. With its highly configurable message recorder and user-friendly support for multiple voicemail boxes, PhoneValet remains the best choice for those who value ease of use and simplicity.
If you're on a budget or want some Tiger-specific telephony goodies, Phlink 2.2 is an excellent phone-message recorder and a huge improvement over its predecessor.

DETROIT– Nearly 900 guests attended the 15th annual Partners Night, Saturday, Sept. 27, at The Suburban Collection, to benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. Partners Night and Partners Day, a golf outing held in August, are two of the Karmanos Cancer Institute's signature fundraising events. This year's Partners events raised more than $1,267,300 to support Karmanos' state-of-the-science research program, making this the highest grossing Partners ever.
Honored for their outstanding philanthropy and commitment in the fight against cancer were Becky and Gary Sakwa, of Grand/Sakwa Properties, and Sandy and Alan S. Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz is vice chairman and partner of Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP. Partners Executive Committee co-chairs Amy Farbman and Andrea Morganroth, along with their committee, planned the elegant evening. Steve Courtney, WJR sports personality, and Mickey Redmond, Detroit Red Wings legend and color analyst, participated in the program. The evening included a performance by the Jesse Palter Quartet, a strolling dinner, silent auction and super silent auction, a raffle and music by DJ Powdrblu.
"It is with great appreciation that we honor Becky and Gary Sakwa, and Sandy and Alan Schwartz, who continually demonstrate their exemplary commitment to Karmanos, our patients and this community," said John C. Ruckdeschel, M.D., president and chief executive officer, Karmanos Cancer Institute. "In a time where we as a region are faced with economic challenges, the war on cancer doesn't stop. We are steadfast in our mission to do all we can to eradicate this horrific disease, and we will continually work to steward the support of our donors to provide exceptional cancer care, education and world-renowned research to save lives."
Karmanos' Partners are hands-on philanthropic volunteers, including many young professionals, who generously share their ideas and enhance resources to help in the fight against cancer. Including this year's fundraising events, over the past 14 years, Partners has raised more than $8 million for vital research equipment and diagnostic tools to benefit the Karmanos Cancer Institute and its patients. Proceeds from this year's Partners events will help fund a new RNA interference technology to enhance the Karmanos Cancer Institute's research in oncogenomics.

John Block has dedicated his professional career to the fields of agriculture, food and health.
Last weekend, with the fields of the Midwest flooded with rain – no hope of planting corn any time soon – my daughter and I went to Montana to participate in a horse round-up. Along with 35 other riders, we moved 350 horses some 35 miles from high country pasture to the ranch headquarters. The horses ran down railroad tracks, highways, and through small towns with snow and rain the first day and sun and blue skies the next 2 days. It was great fun, but tough, hard work.

Games for Lunch: Serious Sam HD
Developer: CroTeam
Publisher: Devolver Digital
Release Date: Jan. 13, 2010
System: Xbox 360 (reviewed), PC
ESRB Rating: M
Official Web site
0:00 I've never actually played the original version of this FPS classic, but I've heard it compared to the original DOOM, which is one of my favorites of the genre. Looking forward to seeing what the fuss is about.
0:01 Bongo music behind a slow panning shot of an ornate Egyptian temple, with a praying cat/monkey-god statue out front. The music goes out as I come to a menu screen.
0:02 How to play: "Kill bad guys!" Seems simple enough. There's some stuff about weapons and strafing and health packs too, but really, "kill all enemies" is remarkably concise.
0:03 The options screen has a setting for blood and gore that includes a "hippie" option. OK, I have to find out what that means. I can customize the look of the crosshair too, a nice, if a tad ridiculous, touch.
0:04 Let's start a single-player game. My scenario options are "Egypt" and "Demo." Uh, Egypt ... I guess. The first level is oddly named "Hatshepsut." I can choose from a ridiculous number of difficulties: Tourist, Easy, Normal, Hard, Serious or Mental (which is locked). As the difficulties go up, so does the score multiplier. Nice to have some incentive to challenge yourself. I choose Normal, which is described as "for experienced FPS players."
0:05 A Green computer terminal tells me "WELCOME TO NETRICSA -- NEuroTRonically Implanted Combat Situation Analyzer." Duh! It will guide me and ID strange artifacts and enemies and such. OK then.
0:06 "At the dawn of the 21st century mankind makes a startling discovery." An ancient, technologically advanced civilization hidden below ruins of other ancient civilizations. Their tech lets us get to the far reaches of the universe. But it's "too perfect to last." In 2104, monsters from another dimension attack, and nothing can stop them. We're beaten back to our own solar system. Sam "Serious" Stone is a legendary fighter and a symbol of resistance. Now, Earth is finally under direct attack, and humanity faces annihilation." Humanity has found a time-lock that can send a single person back in time. "The choice is obvious." That's ... a long way to go for time-travel justification.
0:08 In Dayr El-Bahri, Egypt, sometime in the past (I didn't catch the date). A desert mesa gives way to ancient Egyptian temple. Fade to night ... lanterns go on and ... a rainstorm? In the desert? '90s-era synth music reminds me of Deus Ex as Sam appears hovering over a big black platform crackling with electricity. He falls to Earth with an "ugh."
0:10 NETRICSA gives me a description of HATSHEPSUT. She was a female Egyptian ruler. The time travel caused the rainstorm, apparently. I skim the rest of a long-ass story about ancient cities Memphis and Thebes and a riot over religion and magic powers. Look, I really don't care. Let's shoot stuff.
0:11 "Ready for battle," Sam growls, awkwardly holding a colt pistol in front of him. My first enemy appears as dark blob against the thin lights behind him. I sidestep his slow yellow energy attack and take him out with a couple of pistol shots.
0:13 I pick up another pistol ... now I've got one for each hand. Tapping the fire button once fires both pistols. I'm not sure I like that ... what if I only want to use one shot?
0:14 Oh, so the "hippie" option replaces all the blood with flowers and the "gibs" with carrots and pumpkins. It's so ridiculous ... I love it!
0:15 I wander down a corridor only to face a huge, headless, one-eyed goblin thing that chases me back. I empty a few clips into him as I retreat, falling down some unseen elevator shaft at the end. More bad guys down here, and the cyclops somehow followed me too. I'm down to 54 health.
0:17 I fall back down the elevator shaft to see if I missed any secrets. As I land, the elevator starts rising, crushing me against the lip of the door. "Game over. Press fire to load the last saved game." Wha? Good thing I quicksave constantly.
0:18 Now that I know cyclops is coming, I manage to take him out easily and quickly. "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye," Sam deadpans.
0:19 I skip the elevator and head for a huge rectangular room with a shimmering pool in the center. The water effects are off-puttingly nice, especially compared to the generally blocky characters elsewhere in the game.
0:21 Enemies stream out of a nearby door the second I pick up a "single shotgun." The big cyclopes are joined by a few mini, purple cyclopes and a few grenade throwers. When they're done, a skeletal horse comes leaping at me. The shotgun has some nice power to it, and a satisfying reload between each shot.
0:22 The computer tells me that skeleton horse is actually a Kleer Skeleton. They're "an extinct race on the planet Kleer." Um ... I don't think they're extinct. Unless I just shot the last one, that is.
0:22 Walking through a big door, into a black room, I get 10 Achievement points as a "Serious Beginner." My score of 6624. Is that good? I only got 23 of 58 possible kills. I bet a lot of them were in that elevator room. I went way over the five-minute "estimated" playing time, so no bonus points. I could see this being a lot of fun for speed-running, perfecting stats, etc.
0:24 The game loads me up with shells before sending me into a desert valley. Over a ridge, a headless guy holding two bombs in his outstretched arms screams as he runs toward me at full speed. He explodes as I shoot him, obviously. "Aaaaaa yourself!" Sam screams back at the exploded corpse. Of course, dozens more bombers follow him over the ridge. "Uh oh!" says Sam. I'm way too slow with my aim and quite a few bombers manage to explode right next to me. I'm down to 17 health? Yipes! Let's reload that last quicksave...
0:27 This time I let the chargers clump together before shooting them, causing a chain-reaction explosion and saving me loads of time. This time I get through unscathed. Whoo! Gotta save that progress...
0:28 The music changes abruptly as I enter another Egyptian-ish tomb. Two skeleton horses jump out from the mist in a move that would be terrifying if it weren't so obviously telegraphed.
0:29 I hear more kamikaze bombers screaming, but I don't actually see the guys. "I'm over here! You stupid headless freaks!" Sam yells. Why would you yell that?
0:30 Some shiny items down a long corridor. Of course, as soon as I approach them a big boulder falls in my path and rolls toward me. I back up as fast as I can, just narrowly avoiding death. Sam whistles the Indiana Jones theme. I actually laugh out loud at that.
0:31 After taking out a few more headless screamers, a plague of large purple frogs rains down! The shotgun reload is way too slow, so I switch to the dual pistols and take them out relatively easily. I'm liking the extreme variety in enemies so far.
0:35 Outside again, I walk for a health pickup when the ground and the controller start to rumble. I look around for the source and suddenly I'm dead. I never saw what killed me. Was it another boulder?
0:36 This time I look up slightly as I go for the health pick up. Sure enough, there's the boulder, which I easily sidestep. How did I miss that before? It couldn't POSSIBLY be my own fault. I blame bad game design.
0:37 The ground rumbles again as a large, yellow, bull-like creature charges at me. He's fast, but he can't change directions well, so a quick sidestep is all I need to watch it fly past me harmlessly.
0:38 The obligatory level-ending flood of monsters is headed up by a blue mech firing blue lasers. Quite a change from the demonic monsters thus far, but he's not too tough to bring down.
0:39 In a cut scene now, walking down into ANOTHER tomb and finding a crystal ball. Sam picks it up in third-person and it shimmers unconvincingly. Fade to black and the statistics screen. The time bonus brings me up to 93,950 points for the level. I got a much better 100/122 kills, but 0/6 secrets? I'm not looking hard enough, I guess.
0:40 "Capturing the first element was quite easy," says the computer screen. The next level, the Tomb of Ramses II, is "nothing you can't handle," I'm told. But I should "be careful about your every step." Does anyone actually read this crap?
0:41 "Secret place has been found!" by jumping around next to a steep-sloped wall and somehow making it up to the ledge. Lots of armor and shells. Also, a floating, purple head that's like a friendlier looking version of the DOOM Cacodemon. If there's an idea this game didn't steal directly from Doom, I have yet to find it.
0:43 Enemies have an annoying habit of sneaking up behind me in corridors. It's hard to make out their screaming from the other screaming that seems ever-present in the background music.
0:47 A large, empty room has a few health pickups, and then five skeleton horses appear out of nowhere. I'm getting pretty good at dodging them, though, and they're not too good about turning around quickly. Ho hum.
0:49 I'm trapped in a narrow hallway as a huge yellow scorpion appears. He has the head of a human and the chain gun of an ... uh ... chain gun. His height means I can shoot over the little purple cyclopes and take him out.
0:51 I've encountered three more of the giant yellow arachnoids in the last two minutes! At least now that I'm out of the hallway, I can dodge their highly predictable on/off attack cycle.
0:53 Good use of the third dimension as generic, purple-shirted enemies rain down attacks from above while skeleton horses attack from the ground level.
0:57 I spent the last four minutes trying to get to a heart-container item. I can see it just over a nearby short wall, but to get to it I have to go up some spiral staircases and along some beams and I always seem to lose my way and fall back to the floor. I eventually convince myself it's not worth it and that I should just move on.
0:59 OK, the game is kind of unfair here, surrounding me with materializing enemies just as I enter a stairwell. Seriously, shouldn't the enemies have to stand around and wait for me? Why do they get to warp in?
Would I play this game for more than an hour? Yes.
Why? I'm really feeling the old-school shooting action. So much more straightforward than a bloated game like Modern Warfare 2, and to me, just more fun.
This column is based on a preview build of the Xbox 360 game provided by the publisher and played on a debug console.

Yelderman's truck was showcased at the WSU Engineer Fair Friday. Experimental women-only class offered Class designed to focus on learning capabilities in same gender setting Residential area source of parking contention By LAURIE ARENSMEYER Signpost staff writer While possible solutions to WSU's parking problems are being scrutinized, many students are parking in residential areas and finding themselves in a battle with the city and some residents. George Benford, traffic engineer for Ogden City, said he typically receives requests from a resident or group of residents for a "no-parking" zone. However, the request cannot be honored simply because the situation is a nuisance to the resident, he said. "A 'no-parking' zone must enhance pedestrian safety, traffic safety or general traffic flow," he said. "Students aren't doing anything wrong as far as I'm concerned," he said. "It's public parking. Kids ought to park where they want. ' "" "The residents ought to be willing to give a little. The campus was here before most of them. They should have known theconcernsof havingstudentsin thearea," he said. On the other hand, Captain A.K. Greenwood of the Ogden City Police said, "the people (residents) havea right to expect the streets to remain open. The streets are marked (with no-parking zones). They have the law on their side." However, he said, "my heart goes out to the students. I know it's a problem." See Parking page 2 By REBECCA McCORMACK Signpost staff writer An experimental women-only economics class, designed to measure women's learning capabilities in all-women classroom settings, will be offered by Weber Sta te Uni versi ty's College of Busi-nessand Economics duringspring quarter. The Social Science 101 course, Principles of Economics, will include a women-only section in addition to its other sections next quarter in order for economics professors to see "if there's anything we need to know about the way we teach women versus men in mixed groups," said Dr. Sarah Tinkler, associate professor of economics.Tinkler, who will teach the course, originally suggested the idea becausesheattended a single-sex high school and an all-women college at Cambridge in England and was very aware of the differ ence between learning in single-sex groups compared to mixed groups, she said. One difference is that men are more likely to dominate conversation in mixed groups, Tinkler said. "In mixed groups, women tend to be silent compared to men and men are more likely to interrupt," she said. "There's a lot of research from the fields of education, psychology and communication that in single-sex schools women learn better than women who are in mixed schools," she said. Substantial research conducted on elementary, secondary and uni versi ty levels suggests women tend to perform better academically in all-women settings, said Dr. Richard Alston, department of economics chairperson. "The course is designed to further test that (theory) in economics," Alston said. The course is a "research endeavor" with intent to publish results in trade publications if findings are substan tial, he said. The women-only class will give Tinkler and other professors an opportunity to see for themselves if there are any real differences in women's learning capabilities in all-women settings, Tinkler said. The course is very limited and should not be overstated, she said. Tinkler will teach two sections of Principles of Economics. The courses will be identical, except for who a ttends the class, she sa id. "I will use the same textbook, give the same lectures, assignments and tests. The educational experience will be identical to the mixed section," she said. Several sections of the course are offered in order to assure that every student who wants to take the class has the opportunity, Alston said. The department didn't seek approval for the special section from campus administrators or committees because no student will be in the situation of not being able to enroll in one of the available sections of the course, he said. "We saw no gender discrimination implications for thecourse. There is nothing here to discriminate against males or females," he said. Response to the class has been generally positive, Tinkler said. Several women have called to express excitement and interest in the course, she said. "There are some women who arereallyexcitedand planning to take the course. Even women who've got the requirement and don't need to takeit think it would be fun," she said. The first negative response to the class was in a recent letter to the editor of The Signpost, Alston said. The letter criticized those holding the class of showing prejudice and sexual discrimination. "Thestudent whowrotethe letter has totally misunderstood and didn't think to ask," he said. "Literally, we're just trying to learn more about how our students learn," he said. TODAY'S Mews NEWS Negative stereotypes limit and prevent success, Open Hour speaker says. See page 3.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

NEW ORLEANS (BP) -- Faced with a hungry crowd of more than 5,000 people in a rural area without a ready supply of food, the disciples were scouring around to try to find food to feed the multitude. Finding little, an obviously discouraged Andrew said, "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?" (John 6:9).
You know the rest of the story. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, blessed and multiplied them miraculously, and not only fed the entire crowd until they were full, but 12 baskets were left over.
What can one church do to meet the needs of the poor and the outcast in a community? At times, we may be discouraged about how one congregation can meet so many needs. Yet Jesus can bless our meager efforts and accomplish much more than would be possible in our own strength.
So it is with the ministry of First Baptist Church of New Orleans. In 2004, the church's pastor launched an immense effort called "Baptist Crossroads" in concert with Habitat for Humanity. The goal? Build affordable housing for 40 families in the Upper Ninth Ward of New Orleans. Impossible? It was the largest such project ever attempted by a church in partnership with Habitat. Then, just as the project/construction began, Hurricane Katrina struck and made the need for housing even greater. Today, with the help of thousands of volunteers, 40 families are now proud owners of their own homes.
The church offers other opportunities to impact the community, most of which are under the umbrella of the "Care Effects" ministry. Some members provide academic tutoring and sports coaching for children in the Upper Ninth Ward. Others volunteer in a nearby public elementary school, tutoring children, helping in the library, cleaning up the school grounds, and providing food over the weekends for children who otherwise may not be fed.
Church members minister to abused children and youth through the Baptist Friendship House, prisoners in the local jail, and at the juvenile detention center. Some serve at Global Maritime Ministries, which ministers to sailors and seamen coming through the Port of New Orleans. Others serve the homeless at the New Orleans Mission or the Ozanam Inn homeless shelter. Some of the women minister to prostitutes in the French Quarter.
As a member of FBC New Orleans, I'm involved in a ministry that feeds the hungry on Wednesday nights. I serve at one of our two locations, the Evangelistic Baptist Church, a primarily black Southern Baptist church in a lower income section of New Orleans. The church is located near a home improvement warehouse and close to two interstate highways. Dozens of day laborers hang around the store to get manual labor jobs. Many of them are homeless and sleep under the interstate highway overpasses. The church also feeds people from the neighborhood, including some of those who come to the church for Wednesday night Bible study.
This ministry has helped me have a greater sensitivity to the needs of the poor that I seldom encounter in middle class America. For example, I met a couple of brothers in their 60s who come regularly to the ministry. They are both delightful men with a charming sense of humor. They suffer from several significant physical issues, and they both walk with crutches. The house they live in had belonged to their mother. The house's ownership was split among a number of family members after her death, but the brothers were allowed to live there (though they did not have a clear title to the house). After Katrina, the house was left virtually uninhabitable. The electricity was shut off because of a leaky roof. Two elderly men on crutches were left in a leaky house with no heating, cooling or lights.
They could not connect the electricity from the line to the house until the house was certified by an electrician. The electrician could not certify the house until the roof was fixed. The roof could not be fixed until a building permit was issued by the city. The building permit could not be issued until the brothers had a clear title for the house. Checkmate. So the brothers remained in horrible circumstances.
Many of us can overcome such obstacles. But the brothers had no vehicle. Even to go to the doctor was a daylong event. Long before a doctor's appointment, they had to walk with their crutches to the bus stop and wait in the humid New Orleans weather -- sometimes in the sun, sometimes in the rain. They had to change buses several times to get to the stop nearest the doctor's office, then walk the rest of the way.
Could they have gone to all the city offices to work through the red tape to get their house fixed, even if they had the money? No. This is the frustration and futility of poverty. It is easy to judge the poor for not helping themselves. It is a different matter to understand the reality of their lives.
Our church helped address their multitude of needs as best we could. In addition to providing food at times, church members took the brothers to the doctor when possible. We tried to connect them with lawyers who could provide legal advice. We helped find a better place to live (with electricity), helped them move there, and provided furnishings. One of the brothers has moved to the new housing; the other is still refusing to do so. Perhaps most importantly, we visited them and treated them as real people, helping overcome the faceless bureaucracy they often encounter, trying to show God's love through Christ to them in word and deed.
Feeding the poor is a good thing, of course, but it is not enough. We are called to give a cup of cool water in His name (Mark 9:41). Christian ministry must meet needs in the process of bearing witness to Christ. At our feeding station, we share Bibles and tracts in both English and Spanish. New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary students who speak Spanish help witness to our Spanish-speaking guests. We pray over their needs and talk with them about the Lord.
One night Michael Edens, the associate dean of graduate studies at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, was praying with a man about an obvious medical problem he had, manifested as a bulge in his stomach. He was drinking alcohol to dull the pain. Dr. Edens shared with him about salvation through Jesus Christ, and he prayed to receive Christ. Later, I put my hand on his shoulder to tell him how happy I was that he had received Christ into his life. He reacted oddly, recoiling and sneering something about not touching him. His speech was disjointed and hard to understand. I wondered if through the pain and alcohol he was clear-minded enough to make a meaningful commitment to Christ.
I saw him again a few weeks later. His transformation was so amazing that it reminded me of the account of the Gadarene demoniac in Mark 5. He was "sitting and clothed and in his right mind" (Mark 5:15). He had a smile on his face. He was clean, courteous and did not smell of alcohol. He was receiving the needed surgical procedure. He was being discipled by a nearby ministry focused on recovering drug and alcohol addicts. God had miraculously transformed his life.
This is the goal of ministry to the poor and disadvantaged -- to introduce them to the One who can transform their lives.

By MONA NAIR6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) – A Knoxville man is being held on murder charges that Knoxville police hope will solve an 18-year-old murder.
David Hopkins is charged with killing George Anthony "Tony" Barrett in July 1994.
Barrett was found gagged and beaten to death with a baseball bat. He was 33.
Police now think the men were involved in a love triangle with a woman.
Court documents also suggest robbery and drugs may have been motives for Barrett's murder.
Barrett was no small guy. He was 6'2" and 220 pounds.
"Tony, we called him 'Horse' because he could put away more food than anybody. He's missed mom's cooking all these years," Sherry Shoopman, Barrett's sister, said in a 2010 interview.
Shoopman and her husband at the time discovered Barrett's body in 1994. He had been gagged and beaten to death with a baseball bat in his home.
"When I looked into the window, I could see him laying there. Then we took a huge rock and broke the window," Shoopman described.
Because of Barrett's size, investigators knew the murder was likely a planned attack.
"He was seeing a young woman at that time. Kimberly Sutton was her name," Sgt. Nevin Long said in a report on the case that 6 News aired in 2010.
Long said though Barrett was dating Kimberly Sutton, she was married to Hopkins.
The indictment says Hopkins also robbed "marijuana and a quantity of good and lawful money" that day.
Hopkins was 19 years old at the time of the killing. Today at age 38, he is behind bars for murder and robbery.
The case against Hopkins still has to go to trial.
Since the time of the murder, though, Hopkins has been in and out of jail many times for other crimes.
He is listed as homeless in court paperwork.
Knoxville police say they will be releasing more information next week on how they broke the cold case.

This post comes from Melbourne-based writer Mabel Kwong's blog on Asian Australian issues. Thanks, Mabel, for sharing your insights on Jessica Gomes. We hope to hear more from you on this blog in the future!
Last week, half Singaporean-Chinese, half-Portuguese Jessica Gomes was unveiled as the new face of Australia's oldest up-market department store David Jones, replacing world-renowned Aussie model Miranda Kerr as its ambassador.
It is the first time the retailer has chosen an Asian person to be its nationwide front face, recognising the fact that everyone is beautiful regardless of their skin colour in an increasingly diverse Australia.
However, this decision is not necessarily an ode to multiculturalism on some levels. The department store's choice is arguably an image-branding tactic to boost sales amidst an unstable local economy. Also, local media and modeling industry experts have been quick to harp praise on the multicultural-esque decision while forgetting the true essence of diversity.

Going once, going twice...sold!
Auction company Ritchie Bros. expected a surge in equipment volume, but that didn't exactly happen.
Before the stock market opened March 4, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (RBA) reported earnings per share of 20 cents and revenue of $97.1 million.
The earnings number matched Wall Street projections, but revenue was 1% above expectations of $95.8 million. Revenue was up 19% for the quarter from the fourth quarter of 2008.
The number to watch, though, if you want to understand what's going on at Ritchie Bros., is gross auction proceeds. That's the amount of money that Ritchie Bros. collects for buyers in selling their items. Ritchie Bros. earns a commission on gross auction proceeds.
Gross auction proceeds climbed 1% in the quarter from the fourth quarter of 2008, but fell 2% for all of 2009 from the 2008 level.
The problem was that while the number of items Ritchie sold grew by 12% in 2008, the average price of the equipment the company sold fell.
At the beginning of 2009, the company had expected a surge in the volume of equipment coming to auction as equipment owners, faced with the slowdown in the economy, sold idle equipment. The surge would be big enough, they figured, to more than offset any drop in price.
Well, the company got an increase in volume, but hardly a surge. As best as Ritchie chief executive Peter Blake can figure it, interest rates are so low and equipment lenders so willing to work out deals that many companies have decided to hold onto their equipment even though business is slow.
All this makes it very hard to predict Ritchie Bros. revenue and earnings in the rest of 2010. If the economy picks up, auction prices should rise, but the number of companies with currently idle equipment could well lead to fewer buyers at the company's auctions.
And if the economy picks up, it's hard to see why the companies that have been holding onto their equipment through the slowdown would sell.
The shares have had a decent bounce off a low of $19.49 on February 18 -- that's about 10% as of the $21.57 close yesterday -- largely because every analyst on Wall Street was busy preparing for the company to deliver below-consensus earnings on March 4.
But I'd rather own a company where the trends in 2010 are more predictable -- the larger economy is unpredictable enough, thanks (see this recent post).
So on March 5, I'm selling these shares out of Jubak's Picks with an 11.5% loss from my initial purchase price of $24.37 on December 3, 2009. This sell will build my cash position in Jubak's Picks to 11%.
At the time of this writing, Jim Jubak didn't own shares of any company mentioned in this post.

We found out so many fun things about Colbie that we wanted to post them here, in case you missed 'em.
1. She's an American Idol fan.
2. She thinks cell phone cameras are kinda annoying.
3. Her role model growing up was Sheryl Crow.
