Whilst it has been said hundreds of times before, and there is already an unofficial Pokemon MMO out there, I'm still deciding to choose Pokemon as this weeks SPAMMO and say why I think this amazing game should also be an MMO.
What is SPAMMO?
SPAMMO (Single-players as MMO's) is a weekly series of ideas, where I (PirateScott) will fry my brain in an attempt to bring you my opinions on which single-player games, could make great MMO's, and how I think they should be done.
Pokemon is a game loved by all, and I don't feel the unofficial PokeMMO lives up to the actual MMO ideals of people who have wanted this for a long time. (The game feels more like a single player with just the trading and single player duels.)
So here are my ideas for an MMO if Nintendo/Game Freak ever decided to make one (Which they more than likely never will)
Reasons for my Choice
Who doesn't love Pokemon? From young and old Pokemon has been played by the millions, and is still being played by thousands by the day, even with it's overly expanding army of the critters they keep releasing.
I feel it's harder to find reasons not to love Pokemon than it is to find reasons to love it. The game is just that good that people who have played it will occasionally go back for replay value, or want to play the newer games.
Multiplayer is already on Pokemon, but I'd like to expand upon the simple Multiplayer while explaining how I think this could become an MMO.
How Could Pokemon be an MMO?
Pokemon multiplayer shows how Pokemon could be an MMO slightly, with the use of trading and battling. All I'm going to mention is how it could be expanded upon original gameplay to be an MMO.
I don't think I'd personally want it to change from the 2D-ish style they have in the more recent games, but if it was to go along the lines of 3D then Pokemon Generations style and gameplay is probably the way to go.
The catching should be made much more difficult and progressive, such as the stronger Pokemon not showing as much until higher levels, or higher level zones. They should not be able to be caught without specific badges and/or items and even still with these items it could be difficult. (Yes, I wan't to make people frustrated!)
Specific Pokemon could also have to be caught in a certain way, or needing locations, items, requirements to evolve.
Trading should either be capped to prevent new players getting high level Pokemon, or a system should be added where the Pokemon refuse to listen to you unless you have the right badge (like in the real Pokemon), rank or level. Possibly just stop the Pokemon being used all together until the player has whats needed.
PVP Battles
So Pokemon already has multiplayer battles, but imagine it more along the lines of actual Pokemon tournaments, with teams of up to six, where all players can battle at once with 1-6 Pokemon out at a time per team, or once one player is defeated the next can be switched in to continue the fight.
Additional games could be added which don't include battles such as safari competitions, similar to those in Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal. Plus races, beauty competitions, gambling like in the Pokemon arcade, along with many more.
Another possibility is to make it so the game has factions, such as the classic Team Rocket, or the more modern teams such as Team Magma, and so on.
The leveling could be kept the same as the original, or made more difficult to extend the time of the leveling before the end game content. A level system could be completely replaced in turn for another system, but I think the system already implemented is why we love the game so much.
End Game
My idea for end game content is this, 4-6 player dungeons with puzzles and random encounter battles along the way, at the end of the dungeon would be a really strong Pokemon, or a legendary Pokemon (can't be caught) but drops an item needed to catch certain Pokemon or evolve certain Pokemon, or blocks an entrance to a spot used to evolve a certain Pokemon.
Other rewards for the instance could be rare drops, points for rank systems or currency, and the possibility to catch the Pokemon if it isn't a legendary but it is extremely difficult to catch (4% chance at lowest health maybe?).
PVP would also be some end game content, your teams can attempt to conquer certain parts of the map.
Let's face it, MMO's need to make money, and if this was an MMO the best way for it to go in my opinion, is Buy to Play with cash shop for clothes, houses, maybe even game texture packs (change the appearance of Pokemon sprites and tiles to a certain game), possibly even houses and expansions. Subscription is another viable way, and as Pokemon is so popular I feel it would be successful as a subscription based game.
The End (Fin!)
I hope you've enjoyed reading this, as I said in the Previous SPAMMO, I'm fairly new at this so any criticism or error raging is welcome, you're free to bash this all you want as it will help me in the future.
Lots of manlove,
- : Pokemon

Hi Teresa - glad you enjoyed the visit! Just wanted to let you know that we are happy to substitute GF bread for the popover (which is our bread service). Also, currently on our menu we have 3 GF desserts: an artisan sorbet from Bliss Family Farms, a GF chocolate cake as well as our bruleed rice pudding. Hope to see you in again soon!
The food is good and the prices are good. Disappointed that there is no gluten free dessert. They also will not do substitutions. For example dish normally comes with a turn over. Asked if I could have a scoop of mashed potatoes instead and they said not without being charged. I don't quite understand that. I would come back.

After windows 7 install system hangs before windows loads
A friend decided to install windows 7 pro 64 bit on to a hdd (it was used as a data disk previously but formatted during install). Now he says system hangs at the bios screen (probably before windows loads) and shows up a message that the overclocking (this was part of a motherboard bundle bought) needs to be reset or to press F1.
He has asked me for help - I will be going over tomorrow but thought in the meantime I'd ask if anyone knows what should be done. My first thought was that it might have something to do with the ahci settings but I could be wrong as I didn't think overclocking has something to do with it.
I realize more information would be useful but as I said I won't know till tomorrow so any advice or suggestions would be helpful.

PayPal Teams With Philanthroper, a Groupon for Good
PayPal is teaming up with Philanthroper to spur a little bit of crowdsourced good. Philanthroper is a "daily deals" site; but instead of offering cheap tickets to shows or discounted meals, it offers new and important non-profits. Every day, the site showcases a worthy cause and asks users to donate just $1. Users cannot give any less or any more than $1. While this limitation may seem counterintuitive, it plays on the idea that a lot of people doing a little bit of good can create massive change.

You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.Steve Jobs

SacrificeOne drop,two drops...The rain swept my faceas I lay on the cold ground,defeated to my last breathIt was done, I lost the battleCrowds already decided which side they will stand nowFacing me as they stand aside to the winnerI closed my eyes once, and twiceand found myself alone in the dark, abandonedI thought I had prepared myself wellfor my lost todayBut it was not enoughIt felt hurt, almost couldn't bare it inside meI closed my eyes once more,hoped that the rain would drown meBut then I laughed at myself hardly,despite the copper flavor on my lipsThis is not my matchWhy should I mourn my lost when I am not?I have lost this gameBut I won in the real battleThat is the only thing I careFor I finally knew what sacrifice means now
I WishFelt just like yesterdayWhen I walked through that gateLearned to be a human for the first timeWithout any burden on my white pure heartTo think about for the next dayI could see it slowlyYes, those dark clouds in front of meI could hear the thunderAnd the wind blew my hairI knew they will come for me at the endThe clock started to moveThat moment finally came to meHit me hard to the groundI was scared and desperate for a door"Someone help me!" I shouted to the skyI hid behind a rockFrom those horrible nightmares that haunted meI closed my heart and waited on the darkFor many years on sadness inside meI often wished to the skyTo take me back to that momentBe a happy person on the frameNot the sad person who looked it with tears on her eyesI wish I could turn the time backI couldn't ask for such a thingBut I could not give up yetGave up on those sweet memories of mineI stepped out from the shadowAnd welcomed to the bright scapeFelt the warm air on my faceA
MirrorI looked through a mirrorand wish it never happenedDo you know what I seeWhen I stare at my reflection?I put a big smile on the lips,but she did not look happy at allBit her lips as if she choking back a painful screamJoyful sparkled in my eyes,but there is only misery beneathTears almost dropped from her hazelnuts diamondI stood still in pride, dignity, and bravery;but there's only a person on the cornerHead bowed, does not want to stand upMy lips formed Yes,but the woman on the mirror shook her headand said NoBecause I can never lie to the mirror,nor can I to myself
The ReaperYou can run from my hatchetRun, run as fast as windNever try to look backfor you will not enjoywhat you see thereYou can hide from my sightLook for a good hiding place,because it wont be funto hunt without a challengeYou can askfor help by othersDo find a loyal friendif you do not want to find himbackstabbing you in the endBut you can never win this gameThere is no rules,it's just between the predator and preySo you better run nowfor I'm the Reaper
My SapphireThe moon reflects our shadow,as we sit on the edge of the riverAll is quiet, as if we could control the time ourselvesfor neither of us wants to break the momentI can smell the sweetness of jasmineblown by the soft winds around usThe water flows peacefully beneath our feet,portraying the stars floating on deep blue ocean of the nightThey sound like music to our ears tonightDo not let your hand leave mine, whispered IThe hand you used to pull me up withso I can stand by side next to my dearestChallenge the timeas we are moving on togetherDo not take your eyes off of me, begged heThe sweet blue eyes that captured his heart until nowComfort him with a charming blazebeneath those sapphiresas if there were eternal joyDo not walk away from my side, pray usFor both of us cannot be separatedfrom our reflectionValentine will not be the samewithout roses and chocolate,nor am I without you
Moon SonataI stood by myselfleaned on the edge of the windowWith the guitar and lonely cloudwho dreamt for his diamond of the nightWould this moment be over soonlet the wind blow itthe same as the previous nightsI ignored the star's smilefor I was not singing for herThese notes were still freeunbound by my thoughts and feelingsBut the time was overas your shadow hugged me tenderlyClosing the window behind my backand took this soul out for a joyMy guitar will singfor you my dearest
Four Flavors of SeasonThe sun washed my limbsas I was sitting beneath a treeSunflowers were dancing for mewhile my hand caught an apple from its fallSummer couldn't be better than thisA leaf tipped my nose,blown by the cruel west windRed and yellow painted the land on which I layI took that leaf off of meand realized Fall was comingMy feet started to loose their sense,as they were buried by snowThe wind was getting strong,spreading snowflakes to the skyI could not refuse the beauty of WinterThe ice began to melt from the tree,just like the one that covered the meadowThe chill was still feltand yet the sun warmed my bodyThat was the first lick of Spring for meI sit there for years,watching the earth's face from afarNow it is timeto walk out from under that treeand experience the world like it should be
The One From NoneTime was running so fast,like dawn turns dusk by a blink of eyesDo you remember that day?When you offered me your handfor the first timeI welcomed them with joy and honorand the first chapter had begunThere had never been my laugh,without yoursnor my tears,without your warm hug comforting meThere was no such a perfect thing,yet we could create itfor the perfect shadow of two was better than oneThe time had come,when we should let our hands gofor there would be another handwaiting for usunder the majestic clang of bellIt was the time to move on,for a new story to be writtenon the next sweet chapterThere is no storywithout a good endingAnd we have had that in oursDo not shed your tears,grab my hand for the last time insteadThere is nothing lasts forever, they saidBut let this red string in our handsbe the one from noneLet us keep walkingand greet that warm blissful lightWhere our friendshipwill last forever

Never forgottenInspiration lies in your heart. Lies in your soul. Lies in your mind.Never forgotten never left behind.Always in the back of our minds.
Louder Than A RiotThere's a riot in my headAnd it screams all nightContaining freedom fightersAnd rebels full of spite.I try to ignore itAnd get some sleepBut the roar of the crowdIs louder than me.There's buildings on fireAnd fighting in the streets.I witness all this mayhemIn the unbearable heat.There is no way to ignore it,No point of going to sleep.The crowds shouts are loudAnd they're closing in on me.I stand on a blazing car,Watching this chaos.I tell them not to fight,Because they have already lost.Now I don't need to ignore itAnd I can go to sleep.Sure, the roars of the crowd are loud,But not as loud as me.
Once Believed in LoveShe burns pagesTo feel aliveAnd watch her wordsDance in the flamesShe clings to his jacketEach and every nightSince he leftHoping to catch a whiffOf the Old Spice scentShe loved so muchShe spills her heart outIn poetry and tearsWondering why sheStill wastes them on himShe wears a maskFull of happinessSecretly dying a bit more insideSince the day he walked outShe once believed in loveBut that was long agoWhen silver lockets and pinky promisesMeant something more
Needing to see youAnother night of waking with a scream from a once again never ending nightmare
I don't even know what it is this time. So much time has seemed to passed but it seems you're still haunting every darkened corner of my mind. I lean over the side of my bed reaching for my phone it's just texts from the usual
Erica, Ryan, Paloma
nothing new here but once again I scroll through my phone and come across your number
I always want to call it or send you a message but what would I even say if I did? So instead I just let my phone and do its usual reset. Piece of crap does that every time it falls but this time if took its self right off the charger. I get up and bend over searching for the end of the charger and go to plug it back in when a strong grasp on my arm stops me, "look at me!?" I hear a loud shout then fall back gasping and scooting into the bed frame
pulling my legs close.My light flips on and with a start I jump onto my bed and look over to my door
Summer SimplicityAlready in shorts and bright colored tees,Run up the stairs to the house with youthful ease.Drop the schoolwork in the trash it doesn't really matter,I won't be going back to school until two months after.Time to buy watermelon and tons of ice cream,Driving mom crazy when she trips on rinds and seeds.Run towards the ocean and transform into a fish,Find a starfish in the sand and make a special wish.Sunburn on my nose but I don't really care,Won't be seeing the age spots for another fifty years.Got sand in my bathing suit and in my ears,Grandma says the ocean is made of a billion angel tears.Make new friends on the shore and promise letters all the time,Memories of their names forgotten when summer hits its prime.A cute boy with a stick draws both our initials in a heart,He is the love of my life until I remember boys laugh at all their farts.Summer is now over, the bathing suit goes back inside the drawer,The bright sun and sandcastles will fade when the rain begins to
Silence and heartbreakYou know how girls cryWhen boys break their hearts?There's a reason for it all.Is it because of the words?Not really.We cry because of the deathly silenceOf our fingers no longer pressing downOn those smooth, flat, plastic buttonsTo form words,Literate or otherwise.We fake our smilesAll the while the boy is in the same room,Same building,Same town,Same world.Our tears are our own,As is our hearts,But we put everything on the line,Just to see him smile.To make him happy,even if it is for a day.Even if we have just been played

Wayfaringtree Viburnum has prominent veins on the underside of its leaves, appearing as if a tourniquet were tied around the petiole and thus causing the veins to swell. Among viburnums, this trait is also exhibited in its progeny Lantanaphyllum Viburnum, but this latter shrub has leaves that are much longer than Wayfaringtree Viburnum.

KSP and DEA Partner for the National Take Back Initiative
Date of News Release: 04/14/2011
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- KSP will partner with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) on April 30th in a collaborative effort to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from home medicine cabinets. The event is titled National Take Back Initiative. Collection activities will take place from 10:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m. at Kentucky State Police, Post 1, located on US Highway 45 between Paducah and Mayfield.
Citizens are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to rid their home of expired or unwanted prescription medications. The initiative is free and anonymous. No requests for identification will be made to anyone bringing medications into the designated disposal location.
The National Take Back Initiative is designed to be easy for citizens. Listed below are several tips for those interested in participating:
- Participants may dispose of medication in its original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box.
- All solid dosage pharmaceutical product and liquids in consumer containers may be accepted. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. The depositor should ensure that the cap is tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
- Intra-venous solutions, injectibles, and syringes will not be accepted due to potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens.
- Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this initiative and should not be placed in collection containers.
At the conclusion of the event, the Kentucky State Police will seal the drug disposal boxes in accordance with agency policy and procedure and store them until they are turned over to the DEA.

(The Mists)
Come explore the place where his Royal Madness trains his army! Join a team, and compete to grow an army of your own! All in good fun. Would you care to participate?
— Helsa
Reaper's Rumble is a structured PvP MOBA-style map located in the Mad King's Realm that players can access during Halloween. Each team must protect three mausoleums that spawn skeletons and destroy the opposing mausoleums. This area was only accessible during Halloween 2012.
Players can get to Reaper's Rumble either from Mad King's Realm by going through a Haunted Door and talking to the Lunatic Boatmaster or from Lion's Arch by talking with Helsa in Trader's Forum.
[edit] Events
- Find pumpkins in the field and bring them to your team's mausoleum to spawn skeletons
- Help your skeletons destroy the other team's mausoleums
[edit] Points
You will receive points based on enemies killed, spawns killed, structures destroyed, and interceptions.
- Team
- Kills - 10 points each
- Interceptions - 5 points each
- Opposing Team
- Structures Destroyed - 10 points each
- NPCs Killed - 5 points each
[edit] Skills
|Chop your foe.
|Chop your foe.
|Shoot your target.
|Leap at your foe.
|Axe Spin
|Attack and cripple the foes around you.
|Shoot your target.
|Aimed Shot
|Shoot your target.
|Eat to recover health.
[edit] Layout
The general map layout is roughly symmetric with a hill as the main contested area and shrubbery along the sides for ambushes and ganks. Pumpkins are located in the center of the map near and around the hill, as well as a few along the sides, requiring players to confront the opposing side and awards players with taking initiative. The sides of the map also have cornfields, that grant stealth to players walking through them. This stealth is broken upon leaving the cornfield or attacking an enemy. The only indication of a player's presence is the rustling of the corn when players walk through.
[edit] Mausoleums
Each mausoleum has a farmer that will periodically farm a pumpkin and throw it in, causes a couple skeletons to spawn. Each mausoleum and farmer are guarded by two skeletons that are stronger than normally skills and deal much greater damage. If a farmer is killed, players may revive him. The spawned skeletons will head toward the corresponding enemy mausoleum, combating opposing skeletons and enemies they encounter along the way. The three mausoleums are located in reference to the base:
- Center
- Right
- Left
Once a mausoleum is destroyed, the associated NPCs will disappear and players cannot spawn skeletons there using pumpkins.
[edit] PumpkinsPumpkins are environmental weapons that spawn at certain points at the map indicated by a pumpkin icon . Players can use these pumpkins to spawn skeletons at their mausoleums. The player must carry the pumpkin to the mausoleum and throw it inside using Throw Pumpkin. This will spawn four skeletons
[edit] Rewards
- Wining a round rewards you with 5 Personalized Trick-or-Treat Bags.
- Players will receive a Most <x> with a glory icon if they had the highest count for a given point category.
[edit] Tips
- Due to higher damage and less healing than in normal PvP, as well as a lack of a downed state, timing your dodges well becomes very important to survivability.
- Defeated players can be revived.
- You can attack enemy mausoleums from the rear without attracting the attention of the guards. This allows for easy flanking of the side mausoleums, especially if the enemy players are not aware, as many players rush to the center. However, be aware that this could happen to your side mausoleums as well.
- When the game countdown finishes, you will be teleported back to your starting point, except that you will be facing backwards. Be aware of this so you do not immediately start running forward, which results in you going in the wrong direction.

Recall bid against Ariz. sheriff faces tough oddsBy JACQUES BILLEAUD
The Associated Press | April 23,2013AP Photo
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is seen at a news conference last year in Phoenix. Arpaio is facing a recall effort.PHOENIX Volunteers set up a table outside a music festival one day last month to gather signatures for a drive to oust the notoriously polarizing sheriff of metropolitan Phoenix. The venue, with its largely liberal crowd, seemed the perfect place to drum up support.
But it didnt take long for fans of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to show up and deliver a heckling. Free handouts for illegal immigrants, one of the sheriffs backers intoned as other sign-carrying supporters raised their voices to try and drown out those of Arpaios opponents.
The recall group walked away with only 100 signatures, compared with the 500 gathered in the same spot a day earlier when the sheriffs supporters werent there.
The confrontation underscores the feisty ground campaign being mounted on both sides but also the increasing difficulty that Arpaio critics face in getting enough signatures to put a recall before voters.
The recall effort began just weeks after the 80-year-old Republican sheriff started his sixth term in January.
Organizers argue Arpaio should be booted because his office has failed to adequately investigate more than 400 sex-crimes cases and has cost the county $25 million in legal settlements over treatment in county jails. Two pending lawsuits also accuse the agency of racial profiling while conducting immigration patrols.
The sheriff, his critics insist, is more focused on getting publicity for himself than protecting the people.
But recall organizers face long odds. They must gather more than 335,000 signatures by May 30, at a time when theyre running short on money, arent attracting deep-pocketed donors and are relying on volunteers rather than paid professionals to sign up supporters.
They also are mounting a campaign against a politician who has a base of devoted supporters and emptied $8 million during the last election cycle, nearly 14 times as much as his closest challenger spent. Arpaio warned in one recent fundraising email that he could lose his post if hes forced into a recall election.
We will not be intimidated, said recall campaign manager Lilia Alvarez. We are doing work thats legal and constitutional.
Nevertheless, big-money donors seem disinclined to support the recall effort. David Berman, a senior research fellow at Arizona State Universitys Morrison Institute for Public Policy, said some will likely disapprove of a recall so soon after the November general election, making the prospect of ousting Arpaio a long shot.
I dont see this attracting a lot of money for the recall people, Berman said.
The recall group acknowledged a month ago that it was having difficulties raising money and had to rely on a mostly volunteer workforce. Organizers also said they havent found big donors to help ease their money problems but believe they can reach their goal through smaller contributions. Others noted that big-money donors arent likely to contribute to a cause that may never reach the ballot.
This would be throwing money to get a theoretical race, said Joshua Spivak, a recall expert and senior fellow at Wagner College in New York. The key is money. People dont get on the ballot without money.
Recall organizers are trying to build on the success of a 2011 recall effort that ousted then-Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce, an Arpaio ally who was the driving force behind the states controversial 2010 immigration law. But the scale of the Arpaio recall is more daunting.
Organizers must turn in more than 335,000 valid voter signatures to force an election. Thats more than the 7,700 needed to force the Pearce recall election and the 216,000 required against former Arizona Gov. Evan Mecham, whose 1998 recall election was scheduled but then cancelled after he was convicted on impeachment charges by the state Senate.
Alvarez said her group has collected 200,000 valid signatures and is aiming for a total of 435,000 signatures by the May deadline 100,000 more than what is required to offset any names that might be deemed invalid.
Arpaio backers, meantime, arent taking the effort lightly.
We are preparing for the worst. And who knows if they have some buddies out there with deep pockets, said Arpaio campaign manager Chad Willems, pointing out that labor groups contributed $600,000 to an anti-Arpaio group in last years election.
Recall organizers said those groups are using their money this year to push for an overhaul of the nations immigration policies.
Arpaio declined an interview request about the recall effort. In the past, the sheriff has apologized for the bungled sex-crimes investigations and said his office has moved to clear up the cases and taken steps to prevent a repeat of the problem. He also has vigorously denied allegations in lawsuits by the U.S. Justice Department and a group of Latinos that his deputies racially profiled people in traffic patrols targeting illegal immigrants.
Arpaio allies have mobilized to try to protect the sheriff.
One group filed a still-pending lawsuit that asks a judge to order an end to the recall effort. And Arpaio allies at the Legislature proposed retroactively adding a primary to recall races a move that would likely have benefited the sheriff but the measure was defeated last week in the state Senate.
Arpaios campaign committee has paid for its own signature-gatherers to circulate a non-binding petition that opposes the recall effort. Willems said the idea was to have the sheriffs supporters in the same public space as recall organizers to offer an alternative.
Thats exactly what happened outside the music festival in downtown Phoenix on March 23. Frustrated by their lack of success, recall organizers chose a different spot to try and collect signatures the following day: an anti-bullying event.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Congress must-pass budget bill ignores the Obama administrations request to...

The Nebraska football team practiced for just over two hours on the Ed and Joyanne Gass practice fields Tuesday afternoon, as the Huskers continued preparations for Saturday's Big Ten Conference showdown at Ohio State.
Defensive Coordinator John Papuchis addressed media following practice Tuesday, focusing on Ohio State's explosive sophomore quarterback, Braxton Miller.
"We have to always know where he is. He's about 67 percent of their total offense," Papuchis said. "He does a great job making plays, improvising, and making something out of nothing. He's obviously a talented runner, but he throws the ball well too. We have to always know where he is, we have to always have eleven guys flying to the football, and we have to make sure we tackle well when we get our shots."
Papuchis is rightfully concerned with Miller's rushing ability, as he has compiled 577 yards and 7 touchdowns on the ground so far this season. However, Papuchis also noted the Buckeye quarterback's ability to throw the long ball.
"Probably the thing that impresses me more than anything in his throwing game is his ability to throw the deep ball. He does a good job with that, and we have to limit their big plays," Papuchis said.
Containing Miller will be a tough task for Nebraska's defense, but one thing that Papuchis is harping on this week is coming out ready to play at the beginning of the game. As exciting as Nebraska's 17-point comeback against Wisconsin was, falling behind early is not something the Huskers would like to make a habit of.
"We have to come out and play better early in the game," Papuchis said. "We've played pretty good second halves throughout the year, but I haven't liked the way we've started some of the games. We have to make sure we don't put ourselves in a hole Saturday night, because it's not going to be that easy to dig ourselves out."
Check back here on Huskers.com for live updates throughout the week as the Nebraska football team prepares for its conference showdown Saturday against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Kickoff between the Huskers and Buckeyes in Columbus is set for 7 p.m. (central) with live national television coverage on ABC.

text: Friday is the 3rd day in a row where temperatures were below freezing. Assuming Saturday stays at or below freezing the temperature will likely remain below freezing for the next week. The deep freeze streak could last possibly 10 days or more. This would be the longest streak with temperatures at or below 32 degrees since the Late January/Early February streak in 2011 which lasted 24 consecutive days. The 2011-12 winter never produced more than 4 days in a row at or below freezing.

I revamped my Ikea dresser that my boyfriend put together about four years ago for me when I was a senior at UMASS - And its still in great condition! I figured why not sass it up a bit with a fresh spin I saw in a Design book! I googled 'Skinny Wood' and found this birch edging at Home Depot that I cut and ironed on. It cost about $12 to redo this entire dresser! DESIGN BOOM!

This week: Lucy and Ruthie try to get in with the In Crowd; Dopey and Chickenhead discuss their loathsome relationship; and despite what the promos would have you believe, none of the Camdens helps anyone much at all. Not that I'm busting on the promo producers. I'm sure they must have difficulties staying awake while watching the show too.
I'm sad to report that RevCam doesn't give his usual little welcome before the episode begins. He's in his office, actually. It looks like he just needed a break from his family, or else he's busy surfing some porn on his laptop, because SuperMom has to phone and practically drag him away from the office to take a walk with her. As he gets up to leave, he notices that someone has slipped an envelope under his door. He's about to open it when he hears the phone ring again. He leaves without answering it.
Okay, some producer must have been checking out MBTV lately and been embarrassed by 7th Heaven's poor showing in the special-effects Remote Poll, because it looks like they threw another twenty bucks into the effects budget. Ruthie's on a three-way phone call with two of her little troll friends, and we get to see all three of them at once through the wonder of split-screen wizardry. It's very Brady. Troll One says that if Ruthie wants to be their friend, she has to get three-way calling. Huh? Honestly, I refuse to believe that kids these days are that cretinous. She goes on to state the second condition of the friendship, which is that Ruthie has to help them get rid of someone named Sarah, who "can't be following [them] around because she's a total geek loser." Troll Two adds, "Yeah, we can't be seen with losers, or other people are gonna think that we're losers too." Well, if that's the case, are you sure you've got the right Ruthie on the line? Ruthie hesitates, perhaps wondering, as am I, if "getting rid" of someone means dismembering her and hiding her body parts in various dumpsters around town. She eventually agrees to it, though.
Simon puts down the copy of The Outsiders that he's just finished reading. He stares glumly into space until Ruthie comes along and asks him if he's going to cry. He claims he's "reflecting" because he just read a "terrible book" for school. Ruthie asks why reading terrible books is required: "Did they run out of all the good books by the eighth grade?" I'm busy wiping tears of mirth, not self-pity, from my eyes while Simon explains that The Outsiders is not terrible, just "terribly sad." Then he gives away the ending to the book and makes a halfhearted attempt to explain it to Ruthie. Eventually he gives up and says that he has to start writing his essay. Ruthie's a mini-Matt in the making, because she says all sternly, "Well, then I guess you should get to your paper," as if it were actually any of her business.
Speaking of Dopey, he and Chickenhead walk into the house carrying piles of laundry. Chickenhead's saying she feels uncomfortable bringing their laundry to the Compound, but SuperMom is very gracious about it all, as she walks off saying, "Mi washer/dryer es su washer/dryer." Shana is still frantic, though, which gives me this unfortunate mental image of her running around like a chicken with its head -- well, you get the picture. She says she still doesn't feel right about the laundry and that she'd thought she and Matt would be getting together to talk tonight. Dopey depletes his limited stock of charm as he closes in on her while saying, "We're here together, talkin' and washin' and dryin'." It's a very strange little speech that makes for a total Teen Beat moment. While Mary and Lucy skulk around the stairway, eavesdropping, Chickenhead cuts off Dopey to say that he won't be able to talk her into it. No one specifies exactly what "it" is, and I don't care enough to speculate. Mary and Lucy do, though. Dopey flirtatiously asks Chickenhead, "Wanna do a load of whites together?" Hmm, I've never heard it called that before. Chickenhead responds, "I don't want to do anything that intimate right now," and Mary and Lucy stand gaping on the stairs, where Mary mouths the word "intimate." Dopey must be some kind of idiot savant whose only talent is seeing through walls, because he busts Mary and Lucy for eavesdropping, saying, "Anything you were snooping around to hear is none of your business." Don't you just love how he's such a major hypocrite when it comes to others interfering in his business?

Forsyth County boasts great schools but faces new pressures from the vast growth in the region. We asked the two District 2 school board candidates to answer these three questions related to those challenges:
1. How much of Forsyth's academic success owes to its higher-than-average socio-economics? Is the system doing as well by its students as it should?
2. Is the system taking sufficient measures to deal with growth? What more should it be doing?
3. What innovations would you like to bring to Forsyth County schools?
Democrat Camille Fareri is an assistant professor of literacy at Brenau University in Gainesville. She has a doctorate in education and more than 30 years in the field. She is the mother of two daughters and the grandmother of one boy.
1. Forsyth County has made tremendous strides in the last two decades. Much of its academic success may be owed to its higher-than-average socio-economics, but this can neither be proven nor disproven. South Forsyth High School., which has seen an influx of high income families, currently ranks 208 among public high schools nationally. Obviously, that is an extremely good ranking. I'd like to see the remaining high schools in the system also reach a high ranking among public schools nationally. I feel the system must continue to offer the high quality programs that have brought success to all its students. In particular, the system must continue to provide the appropriate services for its special populations, ESL, special needs and gifted students, as well for the average student in the county. The district needs to continue to attract and nurture quality teachers who can foster critical thinking skills in our students.
2. The system has undertaken building projects to deal with the growth of the area. The district needs to assess its building projects to make sure that there is sufficient space for all its students to be taught in small classes with qualified teachers. In addition, the district needs to assure that students have access to a full curriculum including the Arts, Physical education, a complete athletic program and sufficient AP ( Advanced Placement) courses.
3. I'd like to see an innovative curriculum that stresses critical thinking skills and not just the results on standardized tests. I'd like to see a thoughtful teacher evaluation system that is not dependent on a one-day performance on standardized tests. Teacher accountability should be based on a dynamic evaluation of the teacher's instruction in the classroom. Is the teacher motivating, does he or she engage learners, are students learning to their full potential? Good teaching is not teaching to the test, and good teachers are the engines behind good schools.
Kristin Morrissey is a mother of two children in Forsyth schools and has a degree in computer science. She is former vice president of Brookwood Elementary School's PTA.
1 Forsyth County has been recognized for being one of the wealthiest counties in Georgia and nationwide, one of the "Top Places to Get Ahead" and most recently one the nation's "100 Best Communities for Young People". While a healthy home life is crucial to a child's overall well being regardless of their socio-economic status, I attribute the success of the schools in Forsyth to that and a variety of factors. New technology has been incorporated into the schools to make our classrooms and homes more efficient and cost effective. Our children learn and embrace technology in a way that wasn't possible when we grew up. These electronic tools are just that however, tools that assist with education but are not a replacement for high quality teachers. FCS continues to hire and retain top notch teachers that are dedicated to our students' achievement. To prepare our children for the real world and the global economy, we must look at a variety of ways to gauge the success of our students and teachers beyond just that of standardized testing. We need to continue to highlight and reward success stories in the classroom as well identify and address areas in need of improvement.
In September, FCS was awarded a $4.7 Million grant for Engage ME – P.L.E.A.S.E., a program that combines technology and teacher input to tailor design a learning program on a student by student basis. We are also blessed in Forsyth County to have a high level of commitment and volunteerism amongst parents, local businesses and the community that helps our schools continue to make great strides.
The PROPEL Initiative now under way, is a joint effort between the Cumming Forsyth Chamber of Commerce, the school system and local community stakeholders. The goal of PROPEL is to raise the graduation level from its current level of 89%, to the mid 90's and ultimately 100% by identifying and eliminating obstacles to academic success. Comparing our schools on both a national and at the state level will help to raise the bar and allow Forsyth to continue on its path of excellence.
2. Years ago in better economic times, county had the foresight to plan ahead for continued growth. Last year, five new schools were opened, helping to address some of the overcrowding issues in our schools and reducing the number of portable classrooms from 174 to 53. Our IE2 contract with the state gives our school system even more flexibility to reach its goals. With the added flexibility the contract brings, the school system is held to higher standards and yet we can use this local control to make adjustments in staffing on a school to school basis helping to keep our class sizes lower.
In September, the FC BOE voted to move forward with the building of Kelly Mill Elementary School with construction starting early next year. With the slow economy it's taking longer acquire the funds to both build and operate the new schools to accommodate our growing population. In the meantime, we must continue to look at changes from within, particularly for those schools in the north that are still struggling with overcrowding. It is the obligation of the BOE to guarantee equitable educational opportunities for all our children throughout the county.
3. I'd like to see additional opportunities in vocational studies for students who are looking for an alternative to traditional postsecondary studies. We should explore the potential of schools to offer specialized trade-like courses from automotive repair to cosmetology to medical technology to music and the arts. We are fortunate to have facilities like Northside Hospital, Lanier Tech and several other successfully owned and operated businesses. Joint venture programs like these could further prepare our students for employment upon graduation.

Is there a BOE candidate anywhere in the country who doesn't go on and on about "critical thiunksing skills?" I bet not one of them can actually define what they mean.

hey people–it's clear that you all care so much about educating our children…consider volunteering to help students prepare for the first ever Atlanta Neighborhood Math Competition. We need math coaches so they can compete and represent their neighborhoods! Just trying to encourage a spirit of healthy competition and a culture of education OUTSIDE of schools and in homes and communities. Schools may be what are, but communities don't have to settle. WE NEED A CULTURE OF EDUCATION! Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for a volunteer contact form.

The San Diego Superior Court in California recently ruled that three airplane hangars purchased and occupied on leased space at San Diego Brown Field are "removable trade fixtures." As such, the court found that the hangars are the sole property of the tenant, Finch Aerospace, which operates the California Flight Museum. Finch subleased the space for the hangars from FBO Lancair, which argued that its master lease with the city gave it control over its tenants' hangars. Therefore, it prevented Finch from selling or moving the hangars, a situation that led to the lawsuit.
Real property law
The Baltic Air Charter Association (BACA) launched an escrow facility to provide a secure deposit for funds being paid in advance by customers for air charters worldwide. "Clients may be asked to pay a substantial deposit to secure a charter flight but there is little protection if one of the other parties–the broker, the agent or the aircraft operator–goes out of business before the flight takes place," said BACA chairman Dick Gilbert. "The escrow account allows BACA brokers to offer their clients safeguarded advance payments for charter flights or programs."
Elliott Aviation of Moline, Ill., is waiting for the outcome of a vote on Illinois House Bill 4110 before making an expansion decision. It would grant tax-exempt status on two parcels of ground the MRO leases on Quad-City International Airport, as well as exemption from future property taxes on new improvements. The company released a statement saying it would evaluate other areas of the country for expansion if the bill failed to pass.
Advocacy efforts by NBAA members, the Connecticut Legislative Aviation Caucus and the Connecticut Business Aviation Group to fight a personal property tax on all aircraft based in the state were successful. On Tuesday night, the House and Senate in Connecticut passed a budget that does not contain "the potentially devastating tax increases for aviation that were proposed in earlier versions," NBAA said.
Members of the Florida Aviation Trades Association learned recently that the Third District Court (Miami) has issued a ruling that will significantly affect the recourse available to the maintenance industry when faced with a non-paying customer.
Previously, a repair facility could put a lien on the aircraft when it perceived the customer would not pay the bill regardless of who was in possession of the aircraft.
Business aircraft owners who want to move up have the option to engage in a "like-kind exchange" that could save thousands of dollars in capital gains taxes, according to Tonya Fritts, vice president and relationship manager for North Carolina-based Wachovia Exchange Services (Booth No. 3769).
They say that turnabout is fair play, and that's evidently what a proactive North Carolina tobacco grower thought he was doing when he sued a local high school over its use of a helicopter to place an air conditioner on its rooftop. This, after he had been refused permission to operate a helicopter from his own land without a permit.
NBAA released the "Aircraft Charter Consumer Guide," intended to provide charter users with a means for locating and evaluating charter operators. It is available free of charge at www.nbaa.org/charter.

The polypeptides specified by the transforming region of the Adenovirus 5 (Ad 5) genome have been studied by immunoprecipitating antigens (using the double antibody and protein A-Sepharose methods) from cells transformed by Ad 5 and from cells infected with Ad 5 wild type (wt) or host range mutants. Three different antisera were used: P antiserum specific for early viral products (Russel et al, 1967) and two hamster tumor antisera. With both the double antibody and protein A-Sepharose methods, all three antisera immunoprecipitated a 58,000 dalton polypeptide from wt-infected KB cells, while P antiserum precipitated additional polypeptides of molecular weight 72,000, 67,000 and 44,000. When the double antibody method was used, P antiserum and the hamster tumor antisera also immunoprecipitated a 10,500 dalton protein which was not observed with the protein A-Sepharose method. The Ad 5 hr mutants fall into two complementation groups designated I and II, both of which exhibit defective transformation activity (Harrison et al, 1977; Graham et al, 1979). In group I mutant infected cells, little 10,500 dalton protein was observed relative to that found with wt infected cells, whereas very little or no 58,000 dalton polypeptide was immunoprecipitated from cells infected with mutants from complementation group II. Since a 58,000 dalton antigen was also found in a number of Ad 5 transformed cell lines, but was not detected in the cells infected with transformation defective group II mutants, it was concluded that the 58,000 dalton protein may be involved in the induction and/or maintenance of transformation.
Collett and Erikson (1978) have reported that the transformation gene product of Rous sarcoma virus is associated with protein kinase activity. Studies were undertaken to determine whether similar activity was also associated with the tumor antigens of Ad 5. The products immunoprecipitated from wt Ad 5 infected cells using tumor antisera were found to catalyse the transfer of ³²P from (γ-³²P) ATP into protein. Very little of this activity was observed with extracts from mock infected cells or when non-immune sera were used. The Ad 5 hr mutants were found to induce less protein kinase activity than wt virus. Evidence is presented suggesting that this activity is associated with early viral functions. Protein kinase activity was also detected in immunoprecipitates from Ad 5-transformed rat cells.

For Immediate Release:Majority Caucus Louisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622Louisville -- Calling Old Louisville's efforts for economic development focused and energized, Councilman David James (D-6) officially dissolved the Oak Street Task Force at today's final meeting of the committee.
"I established this group a year and a half ago to ensure we stayed focused on improving economic development opportunities in Old Louisville, while keeping our streets safe and infrastructure clean," said James. "We have made great strides toward that end, but now it is time for this committee to evolve into an economic engine for change."
Greater Louisville, Inc. will establish the Old Louisville Economic Development Committee to actively pursue economic opportunities and strategize with leaders of the community to bring businesses to the neighborhood. This committee will effectively replace the Oak Street Task Force's efforts and add the important component of being able to enter into contracts and negotiations for future redevelopment.
"I'm so proud of this task force's efforts to improve Oak Street and Old Louisville and appreciate all the members spending time on this important venture," said Don Keeling, Chair of the Oak Street Task Force. "We've learned that in order to be successful and ultimately produce ribbon cuttings, we must have the ability to negotiate with developers and incentivize new businesses. GLI has given us that flexibility and I'm excited to partner with them."
Highlights and accomplishments of Oak Street Task Force include:
· $360,000 allocated through Louisville Metro Government for infrastructure improvements including repaving the road, new sidewalks, new amenity zone featuring uniform street furniture, trash cans and lights, handicap ramps and new more appropriate green infrastructure for a commercial corridor;
· Crime rates at the 4th and Oak Corridor down significantly over the past year and half;
· Community organizations engaged to improve the aesthetic value of the corridor – specifically through the efforts of Dismas Charities and their daily clean-up of Oak Street from 7th Street to 2nd Street;
· Two of four TARC stops moved away from the intersection of 4th and Oak to decrease congestion along the corridor.
"Greater Louisville, Inc. is honored to partner with Councilman James and the Old Louisville community to continue work toward revitalization in Old Louisville, specifically at the 4th and Oak corridor," said Christina Shadle, Economic Development Director for West Louisville with GLI. "The Oak Street Task Force has created a renewed focus on making Old Louisville a destination – it is now our goal to turn those efforts into reality."
Greater Louisville, Inc. will soon announce initiatives and activities as part of the newly created committee.

I have the same problem with the Blog-module. (blog 0.3.0)
276 public static function getTemplateContent($identifier) {
277 return file_get_contents(SSViewer::getTemplateFile($identifier));
I was wondering what, in the theme, sets of this bug? I'm using a custom theme by another firm and wouldn't really like to patch core files since I'm an external.
Just wondering, they probably won't upgrade to 2.4 until mid-fall.

I think this issue is called by including a file that doesn't exist - go through your theme and remove as much as you can and it should work. By removing / putting back code in the ss files you should be able to track down what lines causing the issue.
