No other sport mixes the grace, passion, speed and physicality of hockey. (Physicality here translates into fistfights and group brawls, for the uninformed.) And coach Kevin Constantines Aeros squad is full of young kids fighting literally to make it to the big leagues (a.k.a. the National Hockey Leagues Minnesota Wild, the parent club of the Aeros).
Today the Aeros take on their I-10 rivals, the San Antonio Rampage. The teams have met four times so far this season, with the Aeros winning three of those games (including a 5-1 beat-down last month), so hopes are high that they will repeat a win today. The Aeros are currently in seventh place, while the Rampage are in third. (Theyre actually closer than it might seem theres just a two-win difference in their records so far this season.) No matter how todays game goes, the Aeros will have another chance to beat up on, uh, we mean, face off with the Rampage in a few days when the two meet again in San Antonio. 7:05 p.m. Toyota Center, 1510 Polk. For tickets and information, call 866-GO-AEROS or visit www.aeros.com. $12 to $60.
Wed., Dec. 26, 7:05 p.m., 2007

I however want to shower them with praise for their impeccable customer service, and standing by their product like no other.
My stem cracked and I contacted them via email,and was asked to send my stem in for replacement even after determining that my failed stem was caused by my errors, (overtightening the bolts. I expected to read that I would not be able to receive warranty replacement, but to my to my surprise was asked to send in the stem and they would replace it. Delighted as I was, I sent the stem in and received a replacement in one week.
I REALLY NEED TO SAY TO EVERYONE THAT THOMSON IS THE BEST THERE IS and I am thankful I made the decision to purchase the best there is. Thomson Stem and Seatpost! There're the best! Even if my stem was not replaced I would purchase another one.
Thank you so much for being the Company that you are. Your service is much appreciated.

The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) Announces Winners of Targeted Theraputics Initiative
NEW CANAAN, Conn. — March 14, 2005
The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), the world's largest private funder of myeloma-specific research, today announced the awarding of three grants worth $400,000 to researchers focused on identifying and validating molecular targets that have strong therapeutic potential.
The three grants were awarded to: James E. Bradner, MD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Robert Orlowski, MD, PhD of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and Allan M. Weissman, MD of the Center for Cancer Research at the National Cancer Institute-Frederick. Dr. Bradner is a research fellow and physician/scientist at Dana-Farber and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT; Dr. Orlowski is the Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Hematology/Oncology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and Dr. Weissman is the Chief, Laboratory of Protein Dynamics and Signaling Center for Cancer Research at the NCI - Frederick.
These researchers were awarded funding following a two-phased review process. The first phase invited researchers to submit a short proposal on validation of a molecular target for myeloma treatment. A subset of researchers were then invited to present their proposal before a panel of reviewers and their peers, from which the three award recipients were selected.
Dr. Bradner's and Dr. Orlowski's work independently build upon what has been learned about the mechanism of action of bortezomib (Velcade), i.e., the inhibition of protein degradation processes. According to Dr. Bradner, "Our work has direct implications for the mechanism of bortezomib resistance, the impact of chemical biology, the role of academic institutions in drug discovery, and the future treatment of multiple myeloma."
MMRF Research Award winners are selected following a rigorous peer-review process by the MMRF's esteemed Scientific Advisory Board using guidelines established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Last year, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) approved the MMRF's research grants program, finding that it meets the same rigorous scientific standards the NCI applies to its own research grant review process. The MMRF is one of nine private, charitable research organizations in the United States to receive approval since the NCI started the program nearly 10 years ago.
Through its grants program, the MMRF supports efforts in the most promising areas of myeloma research, including targeted therapeutics, immune therapy, and genomics. In the past, this funding has brought scientific breakthroughs from the laboratory to the clinic and has often led to early clinical trials in multiple myeloma. Most notably, the MMRF has contributed funding to the development of more than 10 different compounds that are now in development or are commercially available to treat multiple myeloma.
"The MMRF is pleased to support the early target identification and validation work of these researchers," said Anne Quinn Young, MPH, Program Director of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. "Through better understanding of which targets strongly influence the course of the disease, significant progress can be made toward effectively treating this fatal disease."
Founded in 1998, the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation is the largest non-profit foundation dedicated to the single mission of accelerating the search for a cure for multiple myeloma. The Foundation has quickly become the world's number-one private funder of myeloma-specific research, supporting innovative efforts in the most promising areas of cancer research, including targeted therapies, immune therapy and genomics. To date, the MMRF has raised more than $50 million and has funded more than 50 research institutions around the globe, bringing scientific breakthroughs from the laboratory to the clinic and laying the groundwork for promising, new treatments.
The MMRF is committed to educating and informing patients, caregivers and physicians of the latest therapeutic approaches in multiple myeloma through symposia, teleconferences, and its cutting-edge website. To learn more about the MMRF and its programs, call 203-972-1250 or visit www.themmrf.org.

Great family vacation spot!
I really enjoyed staying at this condo. Condo looks as the photos show. Short walk to the beach. Close to grocery stores where you can stock up. Many places to eat and shop. Had a small emergency with door lock and owner responded very quickly. Was able to pay fee and take the dog. Drove down to Myrtle Beach a few times which was nice that it was that close. Overall it was a very enjoyable vacation.

Orthopaedics: Market Prospects & Global Competition
- Report Description Table of Contents Inquiry Before Buying
After a period of economic decline, the global orthopaedics market is beginning to show signs of recovery, thanks to a number of factors. It is now time to take stock of the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
The orthopaedic industry has been under intense pressure since the global economic downturn, and has struggled to achieve growth amid tough market conditions. Additionally, the industry is under extreme pressure to adapt to the impact of social and economic changes. Rising cases of obesity and ageing populations, as well as unstable financial conditions in a number of established markets, have forced medical device manufacturers to become more responsive to macro- and micro-economic factors.
However, recovery is on the horizon. Thanks to the impact of the expanding global elderly population and the associated steady rise in musculoskeletal disorders as a result of a more active and demanding customer base, Espicom estimates that the global orthopaedics and prosthetics market increased by 5.8% in 2013. Furthermore, we forecast a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2013 to 2018 of 3.9%. Principal growth drivers are the uptake of new products and technologies in developed markets, high growth in extremity and biologic products and rapid uptake of standard and market-specific products in emerging regions.
In Orthopaedics: Market Prospects & Global Competition, Espicom focuses its attention on 49 of the companies that we believe are making significant inroads on their chosen area of orthopaedic specialty. This 2013 edition helps to build a bigger picture of the companies and some of their most relevant activities, giving insight into the current state of, and future prospects for, the market.
Use this new report to easily answer key business questions, such as:
- What developments will underpin the 2013-2018 CAGR of 3.9%?
- What new products and services has Zimmer introduced in 2013?
- What is the product and service line of the newly merged DePuy Synthes?
- What are the latest developments in worldwide regulation and how are they affecting the orthopaedic sector?
- Which companies are focused on driving growth in emerging markets?
- Which segments of the orthopaedics and spine markets are tipped for long-term growth?
- Who is active in the extremities segment and what are their competing products?
Issues Affecting the Industry in 2013 and Beyond
2013 was, in some ways, a transformative year for the orthopaedics industry. From product recalls and lawsuits to mergers and acquisitions and the exploration of high-growth markets, this report takes a look at current trends and issues that are affecting the global orthopaedics industry. Discussion points include:
- MoM Implant Failure Rate Remains a Hot Topic
- Balancing Patient Safety and Innovation - ASR Hip Lawsuits Continue

Maria Eugenia Morton-Comer, Full-time Teacher in Paterson Public Schools states:
"I love everybody and I have had a great journey with all of you. However, I am so happy to see the light. It's almost over! I will definitely do some back flips :) i have to thank GOD for all the strength he gave me to endure this crazy life these past 18 months. I am most thankful for the lasting friendships and strong bonds I have developed with some of my colleagues. I have had some crazy good times, I have laughed a great deal and was even close to crying once or twice. So, this experience has been a roller coaster, very scary at times, especially while navigating new territories. I have enjoyed some classes more than others. The modules have been very practical and useful to me as a new teacher. I am a practical person so I appreciate that a lot more than learning useless theories. I am completely satisfied with my decision to join the New Vistas Program. I love my new life and new career. Thank you for accepting me into the program. Best of luck to everyone and let's continue!"
Dalina Notaro, Full-time teacher in Passaic Public Schools states:
" Wow! Where can I start? New Vistas has been a very challenging experience to me. I have learned many important concepts needed to embark in this journey of teaching that I will take with me in my continuous effort to become a better teacher. I will take the training and advice from my professors, the support from the grant administrators during the interview process and the support and encouraging words from my colleagues and friends from Cohort 2. thank you for all the heart lifting words during those difficult times when I though i was not going to make it. Thank you for the laughs and hopes shared when we realize it is going to be just fine (because there is always light at the end of the tunnel). i will take with me the confidence the program has made me realize i possess. These 18 months have not been easy (just like anything worth fighting for is, not easy) but I will definitely take with me an amazing experience that has made me explore my potential and know that I have what it takes to touch the lives of many children who need us so very much. Thank you all!
Loretta Brown, Full-time Teacher in Teaneck Public Schools states:
"As my New Vistas experience comes to an end, my career as a teacher is beginning! It feels good to be able to say that since I began this career change six years ago. Finding the New Vistas program was the best part. the support Marie and Johanna gave us was incredible. And bonding with the others in the cohort was invaluable. Before New Vistas I was making my way alone, not always sure I was doing it right. however, in the past eighteen months I have felt part of a team and have gained a lot of support and motivation from the leaders and my colleagues. The classes and the workshops have given me a wealth of knowledge and the professors have become a great resource and connection to the education industry. But, in the end, it will be the confidence I have gained to be a teacher that I will be most grateful from this experience. Good luck to all!"
Cynthia Frazier, Full-time Teacher's Assistant in Rutherford Public Schools, states:
"The past eighteen months have been an eye opening experience as I learned about the qualities and knowledge needed to be an effective teacher along with the many strategies and concepts about teaching. I was immediately exposed to the art of 'multitasking' in terms of working full time, completing course work for the modules and graduate program, and taking care of my family. This is the workload I can expect when I have my first teaching position. I now understand that importance of being extremely organized and prioritizing in order to perform to best of my ability each day.
The New Vistas Program has given me the teaching tools i need to face the front of the classroom, namely writing an interesting lesson plan, differentiating, scaffolding, problem-based learning, charting from pre-assessment to post assessment, and using my experiences from my observations in Paterson. Eastside High School in Paterson gave me an inside look at working in an urban classroom. Most importantly, I will take with me all I have learned from discussions with my peers and from the famous 'boot camp' lessons. I now know that being a teacher is the most difficult, yet rewarding job a person can experience. To be a successful teacher it is imperative to 'know your learners'--their strengths, backgrounds, and learning styles--so that I can help guide each of them to their individual success in school and in life.
I have found inspiration through the modules and especially with the knowledge I have shared with my Cohort II colleagues. Everyone has an enlightening story to tell about their journey to fulfill their dream of becoming a teacher. Each person was driven to learn as much as possible about being a teacher, showed great compassion for the teaching profession, and imparted to me the confidence and assurance that I, too, will be hired as a teacher."
Michael Harmon, Full-time Teacher in Passaic Public Schools states:
"There are so many things I could write here. On the educational side of things, I am taking away the numerous methods and techniques provided for teaching all subject matter. Each and every subject, regardless of content, can be taught in so many ways and still be effective all while avoiding 'drill and kill' which I prefer as a student and a future educator. In addition, a new found understanding of embracing differences amidst a classroom and it's students. In regards to real life, I am impressed with the ability of my colleagues and myself to persevere and to not only complete all the work but to excel throughout this whole process. Good show, folks!"
Nelly Orosco, Full-time Teacher's Aide in Passaic Public Schools states:
"First of all, I would like to express my feelings of being thankful to the New Vistas Program because this program has given me the opportunity to be an elementary bilingual teacher. I found this program 18 months ago when i worked in a second grade class and I was enable to suggest changes in this classroom because of my position as paraprofessional. Being accepted in this program was one of the rewarding things as is teaching for me. But at the beginning of the program I had difficulties because New Vistas was almost a full time student program. I have a full time job and I also had a part time job due to family issues. all of those issues made it tough to perform as a student to my full potential. In addition, English is my second language, so it made it harder to accomplish my goal that I am trying to reach, completing this program. Since I have taken classes in the New Vistas Program at WPU, I have improved my strategies in teaching and I feel that I became one of the knowledgeable paraprofessionals who are better able to serve the district of Passaic in the educational field. Therefore, I hope to become a great elementary bilingual teacher and let everyone know that the New Vistas Program at WPUNJ is on of the best institutions preparing teachers in New Jersey."

Popular Beauty Remedies, By The Numbers; Beach Hair Is Big Business; And More…
A new study that set out to determine the lengths women will go to for beauty reveals a predisposition to trying just about anything. Along with drinking lots of water and pinching cheeks to create the illusion of a rosy flush, popular beauty remedies include cucumbers to relieve tired eyes; toothpaste to heal blemishes and insect bites; lemon juice to highlight hair; baking soda to whiten teeth; and egg and vinegar rinses to boost hair shine. We're an inventive bunch, that's for sure. [Telegraph]
Getting that coveted form of tousled wave popularized by Gisele, and known simply as "beach hair," is an art form that many women are willing to pay big bucks for at the salon, although a spray bottle of homemade salt water might just serve the same purpose. [NYT]
L'Oréal Paris spokesperson and actress Julianne Moore does not let a little thing like aging in Hollywood get her down—mostly because she doesn't think about fine lines and wrinkles in a purely aesthetic sense. "Our fear of aging is really a fear of dying; aging is a physical manifestation of decay, and I think that is what's so upsetting to most people." [Daily Mail]

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (PRESS RELEASE) - The Indiana football team opened 2012 preseason camp Thursday morning, and head coach Kevin Wilson announced several roster updates and released the team's 105-player camp roster.
Safety Shaquille Jefferson and wide receiver Logan Young have left the program to pursue other opportunities.
"We thank Shaquille and Logan for their contributions to the program. Both have indicated they plan to transfer to another school to continue their careers. They leave IU in good standing and we wish them the best," Wilson said.
True freshman defensive end Adam Kranda has not reported for the start of camp.
"Adam is dealing with a private matter. It is our intention to work with him to have him here in the near future. Adam has a bright future and will be a valuable piece on our defensive line," Wilson said.
Running back Matt Perez, tight end Paul Phillips, linebacker Ishmael Thomas and walk-on tight end Jordan Jackson will not attend camp due to injuries.
"Matt (back), Paul (ankle), Ishmael (shoulder) and Jordan (knee) have been rehabbing their injuries, but they are not ready to compete at this time. We look forward to getting these men back on the field as soon as possible."
Wide receiver Kofi Hughes, cornerback Lawrence Barnett and safety Forisse Hardin will each serve a one-game suspension during the 2012 season for a violation of team rules.
Wide receiver Jay McCants has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules.

We can't quite put our finger on it, but Christina Aguilera just doesn't look like herself in her latest promo pics. Could it be the lighting? Bad Photoshopping? Don't get it twisted, we think photographer Andrew Macpherson did a great job of capturing the Bionic singer (in fact, we love her all-nat …
i think she looks fantastic in these photos but id be willing to bet these are older then we think. some of her recent pictures point to one of two things(maybe even both).
1. she is having problems with her hormone levels. to much testosterone in her system causing the thickening of her nose and brow. and possibly even the rumors of her turning into a sex crazed bi-sexual.
2. this is indeed a body double
either way, i think she looks a helluva lot better then she did in the closet pics. this is the girl i wanna see naked.
It looks like he photoshopped her to make her look like Anna Kournikova……
Christina is a very beautiful woman, is very classy, and can outsing them all !!!!
Christina has always been a beautiful woman and every pic ive eger seen her in she gorgeous
But to tue comment a few above a sex crazed bi sexual so all bisexual are just complete hoes who will due anyone who walk not tru calm down with the sterotype and did u guys see her on britians got talent she beautiful as ever the bionic look was fake the burlesque look was fake this is the REAL christina aguilera and ni matter what personna she is persueing her voice puts her on top and makes her a star shes is truly amazing talented luv her 4 eva

The following documents contain information about tariffs:
SDN Interstate Tariffs SDN Tariff Revisions Express Tariffs Open Network Notice
I. Commitment
South Dakota Network, LLC (dba SDN Communications) ("SDN") is owned by South Dakota-based independent and cooperative telecommunications companies. It was initially formed in 1989 to operate a tandem switch providing centralized equal access and wholesale, resold long distance services for its owner companies. Starting in the mid-1990's, SDN deployed a statewide broadband network providing data transport and Internet services to its owner companies. With that Internet deployment, the company expanded its customer base to commercial customers including entities like state government, schools, banks and health care providers. SDN has consistently provided retail and wholesale broadband access and services to anyone who requests it for any lawful purpose so long as the customer acts in accordance with established tariff and/or contractual obligations. SDN will connect its broadband and data transport services directly or indirectly to a customer making a bona fide request at any point on its network funded by the ARRA program where technically feasible without exceeding current or reasonably anticipated capacity limitations, and at reasonable and competitive prices and terms negotiated with requesting parties. SDN does not provide residential voice grade local exchange service to customers.
II. General Policies
A. SDN will manage its network and provide access in accordance with the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) Open Internet Rules (adopted December 21, 2010) and in compliance with any future Internet policies or rules adopted by the FCC or other appropriate federal or state regulatory body having jurisdiction over SDN's services. To ensure Open Access to the Broadband Internet, SDN will not unjustly or unreasonably:
• Block, interfere with or degrade a customer's ability to access, use, send, post, receive, or offer lawful content (including fair use), applications, or services of the customer's choice;
• Block, interfere with or degrade a customer's ability to connect and use the customer's choice of legal devices that do not harm the network;
• Prevent or interfere with competition among network, application, service or content providers;
• Engage in discrimination against any lawful Internet content, application, service or service provider with respect to network management practices, network performance characteristics, or commercial terms and conditions;
• Give preference to affiliated content, applications, or services with respect to network management practices, network performance characteristics, or commercial terms and conditions;
• Charge a content, application, or service provider for access to SDN's broadband Internet access service customers based on differing levels of quality of service or prioritized delivery of Internet protocol packets;
• Prioritize among or between content, applications, and services or among or between different types of content, applications, and services unless the customer requests to have such prioritization.
B. SDN will
• Provide connections and transport services to the public Internet to customers;
• Negotiate in good faith with all requesting parties making a bona fide request for interconnection or wholesale services;
• Provide rates and terms for interconnection that are reasonable and nondiscriminatory.
• Use binding private arbitration to resolve broadband interconnection obligation disputes.
III. Network Security and Congestion Management Policies
For the safety and privacy of all customers, SDN:
• Utilizes standard industry practices for safeguarding intellectual property rights and customers' privacy and security;
• Follows standard best efforts for Internet delivery with respect to allocation of capacity without differentiation among applications, providers, or sources;
• Complies with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitations Act, a portion of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that allows Internet service providers to remove or disconnect customer access to copyright infringing material;
• Uses generally accepted technical measures to provide acceptable service levels to all customers, such as application-neutral bandwidth allocation, as well as measures to address service attacks, illegal content and other harmful activities to protect network integrity and reliability; and
• Reserves the right to prioritize traffic based on real time and non-real time applications during heavy congestion periods based on generally accepted technical measures.
IV. Commercial Pricing
SDN files tariffs with the FCC and SDPUC regarding the provision and pricing its switched access services. A link to SDN's tariff's is on this webpage.
SDN provides services by negotiated contract containing industry and commercial nondiscriminatory and generally accepted terms and conditions. Pricing for a service is determined by the nature of the service, the customer location and the presence of SDN service facilities, the length of time the service is provided, and other considerations which impact the cost of providing the service. Prices may include nonrecurring charges to provide necessary service connection and monthly recurring charges related to service provisioning. Service initiation may also include additional charges for construction and other service arrangements where service will be provided to remote sites or involve complex installation requirements.
For additional information, to apply for service or to obtain a quote for services, please contact www.sdncommunications.com/contact-us.

A study has been conducted, at low temperatures, of the far infrared absorption spectrum of silicon and germanium under high optical excitation. This work presents the first experimental observation of the absorption of both the gas of indirect excitons and the electron-hole drops (EHD) in silicon. Using the strength of the exciton absorption, a study of the coexistence of the exciton gas with the EHD was undertaken. For germanium, the absorption spectra produced by excitons and the behaviour of the exciton transitions in the presence of a small magnetic field were measured. The experimental excitonic absorption spectra in both silicon and germanium are compared with the results of the effective mass Hamiltonian model and it is found that the results of this model account well for the observed structure in both materials. A model for the response of the exciton levels to an externally applied magnetic field was developed. The comparison of the experimental results provided a check on the identification of the observed transitions between lS to 2P exciton states in germanium. The absorption spectrum produced by EHD is silicon is compared with a calculated spectrum using the Mie theory for the absorption of radiation by small particles. The calculation included both interband and intraband transitions for the valence bands. The agreement with the experiment is good and justifies an estimate of the value of the electron-hole density inside the drops in silicon. As a result of the study of the coexistence of the exciton gas with the EHD, estimates could be done for the radius of the drops in silicon.

State House News Q&A: Mayoral candidates on liquor licensing
Aug. 30, 2013
In response to a News Service questionnaire, ten of the 12 candidates for mayor of Boston offered their positions on how state law could be altered to allow for more liquor licenses for the city. Currently, the Legislature selectively grants additional licenses for communities, but Boston has for years operated at the maximum number of licenses, creating high demand and steep prices for existing licenses. Mayor Thomas Menino supports a home rule petition from City Councilor Ayanna Pressley that would allow the city to do away with the cap and regulate its own licensing. Read more
Will next mayor make or break the Strand Theatre?
What will the next mayor of Boston do with the Strand Theatre, the Uphams Corner landmark that debuted as a movie palace in the waning days of World War I? Like a Charlie Chaplin character flickering across its earliest screen, the Uphams Corner landmark stumbled and lurched across the 20th century and, on more than one occasion, damn-near plunged hat-first into an abyss of debt and decrepitness. And, like the 'Little Tramp' himself, the Strand has proven to be an enduring and endearing figure – with the promise of new audiences and a heroic revival that has been years in the making. Read more
Candidates talk policy in Dorchester Reporter survey
In July, the Dorchester Reporter prepared its own questionnaire for mayoral candidates and asked each of the 12 candidates on the Sept. ballot to participate. To date, nine of the 12 candidates have submitted the survey, which included biographical questions, details about their political ideology and specific policy questions that have both citywide and neighborhood-specific implications. The Reporter also included a "case study" section that asks candidates how they would deal with a longstanding redevelopment question in Uphams Corner: the Leon Electric Building. Read more
Mayoral candidates respond to Reporter survey
Nine of the twelve mayoral candidates have weighed in on a host of topics – from gun violence to the names of their role models – that were included in a questionnaire they received from the Dorchester Reporter. They offer varied and sometimes lengthy responses as to how they would deal with the key issues facing the city, and a new administration. Read more
Mayoral Candidate Video Survey: Education
The second part of DotNews.com's video survey of the candidates running for mayor of Boston focuses on education. Ten members of the 12-person field offer differing views on the city's school committee, charter school cap, superintendent search and more. To see the candidate's full response about how to improve Boston's schools, just click on the banner above his or her name.

Barros camp launches biographical web video
Aug. 7, 2013
John Barros's mayoral campaign on Wednesday launched a biographical web video that it said it plans to promote on newspaper and ethnic media websites. The campaign is also purchasing ad space on Twitter and Facebook, it said.
Barros is the former executive director of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative and stepped down from his post on the 7-member School Committee to run for mayor earlier this year.
Barros on the trail: 'It really is about human contact'
Jul. 30, 2013
"My husband is running for mayor of Boston," said Tchintcia Barros, who was standing outside the door as people poured out of the Route 27 bus on a Monday morning. "Good morning, my husband is running for mayor of Boston," she said. "Good morning, my husband John Barros is running for mayor of Boston," she said again as they hurried to catch the train.
"I'm not political," one woman responded, heading into the Ashmont MBTA station. "I'm all set," a second woman said, waving her hand. A third woman stopped and smiled as Tchintcia (pronounced chin-see-ah) handed her some campaign literature. Another commuter pulled headphones out of his ears to listen to her pitch. Read more

Three Poppies, Irving Penn, 1969
Today, Remembrance Sunday for those in the Commonwealth, is a time when many will pin a poppy to their lapel, in respect of soldiers who have died fighting for their country.
The poppy, a vibrant flower bearing 4 to 6 petals, have long been used as a symbol of sleep, peace, and death: sleep because of the opium extracted from them, and death because of the common blood-red colour. In Greek and Roman myths, poppies were used as offerings to the dead and used as emblems on tombstones symbolise eternal sleep. In the children's classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a magical poppy field threatens to make the protagonists sleep forever. In Classical mythology, the bright scarlet colour signifies a promise of resurrection after death.
The poppy of wartime remembrance is Papaver rhoeas, the red-flowered corn poppy. This poppy is a common weed in Europe and is found in many locations, including Flanders, the setting of the famous poem 'In Flanders Fields', by the Canadian surgeon and soldier John McCrae.
The poppy was also one of the subjects in Irving Penn's extensive study of flowers. The acclaimed photographer documented various species between 1967 and 2006, including roses, daisies and tulips. "I can claim no special knowledge of horticulture… I even confess to enjoying that ignorance since it has left me free to react with simple pleasure just to form and colour, without being diverted by considerations of rarity or tied to the convention that a flower must be photographed at its moment of unblemished, nubile perfection", he said.

Rush, Boom, Turtle: Everybody Look What's Goin' Down
You may not realize it, but this has been one of the best months for real-time strategy games in a long time. Since September, there have been some brilliant and innovative RTSes released, even for those of us who don't care for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. In fact, I'd say especially for those of us who didn't care for Red Alert 3. I consider these something of a quiet revolution against traditional RTSes like Red Alert 3.
(First, a disclaimer: The following comments aren't intended to be critical. They're simply observations. If you want critical comments about Red Alert 3, this review should oblige you.)
Bottom up or top down
Red Alert 3 has armies composed of a hundred fiddly bits. The gameplay comes from the interaction of these bits. There's very little by way of macro-level design. The basic design has almost no regard for the larger strategic level, which simply embraces the usual conventions: ore, barracks, navies, air units, spell powers, formations. All of this stuff has been established in other games, so most of the design work in Red Alert 3 is at the smaller tactical level. The variety comes up from the bottom. What does a Naginata Cruiser do? Who wins in a fight between a King Oni and an Apocalypse Tank? How much more damage than an Orbital Drop does an Orbital Dump deliver? How far can Wave-Force Artillery shoot?
But the really notable RTSes I've played lately have taken the opposite approach. The design has started at the macro level, questioning all the usual RTS assumptions, eschewing tactical fiddly bits, and working its way down. The variety comes from the nuances layered on top of the game rather than the detail bubbling up from the bottom. These three games are simple but not simplistic, elegant but no less exciting for it, and all liable to be overlooked by business-as-usual RTS fans.
Booty call!
The Herzog Zwei of pirate games
Consider Age of Booty.
You move a ship around with the goal of capturing a certain number of towns to win the game. You don't tell a ship to shoot, you don't set its stance, and you don't mess with its facing. Wherever it parks, it will fire at any adjacent hostiles. Park two ships next to a town, and they'll conquer it twice as fast. Park one ship between two enemies, and it will attack each of them at half-strength. Your role is to simply place your ship. Oh, and you only ever get one ship to play with.
And that's pretty much it.
There's a great board game elegance to the resource model, which uses gold for town upgrades, rum for ship upgrades, and wood for both. Do you go after the gold to build up your towns? Do you save your wood for your ship? What will you steal from an enemy player when you kill one of his ships? Do you sail back to your pirate base to repair, or do you let yourself get killed and teleport back instantly, giving up a random resource?
The ships upgrade in attack, defense or speed. Do you level evenly, or do you focus on one trait? What's more, there are neutral merchant ships on the maps that drop one-shot power-ups, so you can never be sure exactly how a battle will progress.
If you have any doubt that this constitutes an RTS because you only control a single unit, I invite you to look up Herzog Zwei, the great-great-granddaddy of all RTSes, and a console game, to boot. The lesson relearned in Age of Booty is that an RTS doesn?t have to be busy. It's a simple game with a great deal of flexibility, especially with a group of human players (four-player split-screen!).
And although it's easy to write this off as a multiplayer-only game, that's not quite accurate. You can stock it with any combination of bots you like. The game even has a rudimentary campaign mode that arranges scenarios by difficultly and ticks them off the list as you complete them.
Will there be other games like Age of Booty? You bet. A platform like Xbox Live Arcade is ideal for this sort of thing. In fact, I can imagine this sort of design spilling over into casual games. Will they appeal to traditional RTS players? Probably not. The average RTS player will likely turn his nose up at such a simple but compelling design.
Darwinia squared
Gamebreakers fall like mana from the sky.
Consider Multiwinia: Survival of the Flattest.
There is only one type of unit: the Multiwinian. Your task as a player is to direct the Multiwinians to wherever they need to go. The location varies by game type. Some games have multiple victory locations, some are capture-the-flag, and some have tricky requirements about fueling rockets. But the basic tactics are a matter of where you send your Multiwinians. There's also a rather basic secondary consideration in terms of leaders, who you can use as waypoints or formations. Waypoints automatically direct your stream of Multiwinians, not unlike a plumbing system. Formations move more slowly, but they pack a harder punch because the Multiwinians are more densely packed (and incidentally more vulnerable to explosions).
And that's it.
Well, okay, almost. Multiwinia is broken wide open by crates that drift down from the sky, each containing some potentially game-breaking power-up if you divert Multiwinians to unpack them. This is where the real gameplay is, because otherwise, directing streams of competing Multiwinians at each other is like two people fighting each other with a garden hose to see who can get the other guy wettest. Fun, sure, but kind of brainless.
So a typical game relies on the random element of which power-ups appear and how they're used. It's equal parts luck, reflexes and tactics. And if you've ever played a game by Introversion, the creators of the lovely and haunting Defcon, you know you're in for some of the most muscular and economic graphics you've ever seen. For a 50 MB hard drive footprint (yep, you read that right), Multiwinia has no business looking and sounding this good.
The lesson here is that an RTS doesn't need a lot of unit types. Variety and flexibility can come from someplace other than a bunch of different moving parts. This is one of the purest action RTSes you will ever play with its single unit and lack of tactical fiddling (this is partly a lie, since power-users will learn things like flanking and tank assaults). For such a simple and relatively hands-off game, Multiwinia is tense and frenetic. I suspect it'll be a good fit for Xbox Live next month.
Will there be other games like Multiwinia? Probably not. For starters, this is the sort of game that needs a big art budget for animated units and fancy explosions. But Multiwinia gets a lot of slack because it takes place in the eerie digital cyberscape introduced in its predecessor, Darwinia. Will Multiwinia appeal to traditional RTS players? More so than Age of Booty. In fact, the basic gameplay speed feels a lot like Red Alert 3. But there's probably too much emphasis on luck-of-the-crate. And although you can set the crates to only the basic types, that kills a lot of what makes Multiwinia work: the dramatic reversals falling from the sky like snow. Like God, the average RTS player doesn't play dice.
The End of our elaborate plans
Consider Tom Clancy's EndWar, which is as brave, insightful and dramatically different as Kohan. And it's just as liable to be misunderstood and overlooked.
There's a certain board gaming simplicity to EndWar. Every map has uplink locations. Your objective is to capture more than half of them, and then hold them for four minutes. You do this with six types of units, in a simple rock/paper/scissors arrangement: two types of vehicles, two types of infantry, helicopters and artillery.
Every unit costs four command points, which are the only economy in EndWar. Both players gradually earn command points over time, at the same rate. But every time you capture an uplink, you earn four points, which lets you select the unit of your choice.
And that's pretty much it.
There are certainly nuances. For instance, uplinks can only be captured by infantry. Infantry can also upgrade an uplink to unlock global "spell powers," such as free units, air strikes and EMP attacks. Some infantry can plant minefields. A command unit lets you look at the map from an overhead view. Then there's veterancy for each unit, and you can spend cash to upgrade unit types and purchase new abilities for promoted units.
But for all its elegance and exceptions, the lesson here is that the traditional snowball model of RTSes doesn't have to be blindly accepted. You know the snowball model, because it's how nearly every RTS winds down. The winner builds up more and more economic or tactical momentum until he simply rolls over the loser. But one of the most dramatic changes in EndWar is the way it handles the EndGame.
The title is no coincidence, by the way. At a press event, lead designer Michael de Plater told me the name refers partly to how they wanted to avoid that traditional snowballing model. De Plater actually mentioned Mario Kart as an inspiration. In Mario Kart, whoever's farthest behind gets the best power-ups, often letting him sabotage the leader and shoot to the head of the pack. It's a sort of rubber-banding effect that intends to level the playing field between leader and loser.
No safety or surprise
But that's not quite how EndWar works. Instead, it gives the least aggressive player the most powerful toys. As soon as one player takes the last uplink that will set the victory timer, the other player gets a computer hacking attack called a "crash." This lets him remove from play one uplink at any time, which changes the shape of the map and restores the balance. When will he do it? Where will he do it? It's up to him.
Furthermore, the player who had the crash also holds the decision as to whether or not to use a WMD. These powerful attacks will destroy an uplink and any nearby units. In the right conditions, they can instantly wipe out a player's entire army. But as soon as a player uses a WMD, the other player can use his. Therefore, the "losing" player doesn't necessarily get an advantage so much as he gets to make a couple of very important decisions.
This isn't a matter of handicapping, or of giving the loser a power-up that will instantly shoot him to the head of the pack. It's a matter of letting the less aggressive player sit in the catbird seat. And in a Zen way, perhaps the more aggressive player should let the other player be more aggressive? Perhaps you have to lose a little if you really want to win? Perhaps seizing the map first requires a little letting go? If that doesn't make sense now, it will once you've played a few games of EndWar.
Will there be other games like EndWar? I kind of doubt it. Just as Kohan solved a lot of RTS problems but never took off, I suspect the same might happen with EndWar. Which is too bad, since its voice command tricks also solve the problem of how to bring RTSes to console systems. But more importantly, I think EndWar will be regarded as a colder and clunkier version of World in Conflict, the sexy, fiddly RTS with a similar look and feel, but an entirely separate kind of gameplay. Will EndWar appeal to traditional RTS players? Again, I kind of doubt it. A lot of RTS players love the snowballing model. They don't necessarily want their matches to be close. They don't want to have to puzzle out the Zen art of letting the other guy grab the extra uplink or holding a WMD as a deterrent rather than a weapon. For many players, the appeal of an RTS is overwhelming the other guy with a massive army, which tends to look awesome. EndWar doesn't provide that sort of gratification.
So that's the quiet revolution, upstaged by all the noise and color in Red Alert 3. These other three games are all excellent and as an RTS junkie, I can't recommend them enough. They range from simple diversions (Age of Booty is perfect for goofing around with non-RTS fans) to long-term investments (I still can't reliably win EndWar against the default artificial intelligence). It's up to you to keep them from being sleepers instead of models for how RTSes are made from here on out.
Unit of the Week
The Unit of the Week isn't just the cute little pirate ship from Age of Booty. It's the cute little pirate ship with its speed fully upgraded so it can run around a map and pick up crates! As long as the map isn't too closed-in, a fast ship can determine when and whether it will fight battles. It can pick up stray crates and raid native settlements for resources. It's like a peon gathering resources that will upgrade your team's defense (towns) and offense (other pirate ships). And it's an invaluable asset to its team that will eventually swing the balance in their favor.
Congratulations, fast pirate ship! Now scoot along and get me some more rum!
Impressive reviews. The games mentioned were all great and excellent in their own way. - Missed Fortune

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are back on the market -- in more ways than one. The estranged couple have officially listed their once-happy home for sale, real estate site Trulia confirms to Us Weekly.
The reality star, 29, and the basketball player, 34, purchased the Tarzana, Calif., mansion back in 2009 -- the year they married -- for around $3.95 million. According to listing info, they're hoping to sell it for $5.499 million.
Built in 2003 in the gated Mulholland Park Estates community, the sprawling Mediterranean villa features six "en-suite" bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and a master suite with a mosaic-tiled fireplace and three walk-in closets. Additionally, there are formal living and dining rooms, a library/office, and a gourmet kitchen.

The 8,400-square-foot estate also has a a large outdoor area, with what the listing describes as "a stunning pool with cascading water features, fire pits, and spa," plus "a covered arbor and outdoor kitchen."
News of the "for sale" sign comes just a few weeks after Kardashian filed for divorce from Odom. The spouses of four years had been estranged for several months prior, following revelations of the athlete's drug use.

"I need a good fresh start; I'm excited for this year to be over with," Kardashian told Cosmo in an interview for its February issue. "You only live once so let's make that one time perfect. We can't fix our mistakes and imperfections, so let's have fun. You get what you give out in life."
