Fourth year undrafted wide receiver Jeff Maehl, a product of Eagles head coach Chip Kelly at the University of Oregon, gained a small amount of playing time early in the season but never demonstrated the same talent he showed at Oregon. Perhaps a 2nd year in Chip Kelly's offense can get him some valuable reps during camps and pre-season, but the upside of Maehl is not higher than the floor of Jason Avant. Perhaps the most telling sign that Maehl will get increased repetitions at wide receiver during the off-season is that the Eagles have concentrated many of their free agent signings towards special teams contributors. Maehl was a key special teams contributor with Oregon and should he survive the cut-downs later this year, it's highly unlikely the Eagles would keep him on the roster with any intention other than production at wide receiver.
If I had to guess, I would suspect that the Eagles are going to look at taking a wide receiver early in the draft. A guy that stands out to me is Brandon Cooks from Oregon State. Cooks reminds me a lot of DeSean Jackson, and since he played in the Pac-12, Chip Kelly surely has been able to scout the young receiver better than many draft prospects. With blazing speed and crisp route-running, the Eagles would have talent that fits perfectly with the offensive scheme that Kelly utilizes. Another route the Eagles could run is by utilizing 2nd year tight end Zach Ertz in more offensive snaps. Last season, veteran tight end Brent Celek played in approximately 77 percent of the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive snaps while Ertz was in for less than half of the snaps a year ago. Moving forward, I would expect to see Ertz begin to demonstrate the offensive ability that allowed Chip Kelly and company to select the Stanford alum in the 2nd round of the 2013 Draft.

Assembly GOP Leader Connie Conway Tries to Get Andy Pugno to Honor His Pledge
Conway's pitch to Pugno's contributors comes at a time when Pugno is struggling with campaign debt: He started July with bills of $161,973 and cash of only $4,303, according to financial disclosure statements filed Tuesday. He personally loaned his campaign about $90,000.
Sac Bee, Aug 1, 2012
Conway is taking aim at Andy Pugno, a Folsom attorney who is set to square off in November against another Republican, Assemblywoman Beth Gaines of Rocklin, for the 6th District Assembly seat based in Placer but stretching into Fair Oaks, Folsom, Orangevale and El Dorado Hills.
The oddity of two members of the same party squaring off in a general election was created by the state's new "top two" primary system, which creates a runoff between the top two finishers in primary elections, regardless of party.
Conway, in her letter dated July 30, noted that Pugno finished "far behind" Gaines in June balloting and that he had pledged not to launch an "expensive and counter-productive campaign" against Gaines if she topped him in the primary.
"I and other Republican Party leaders have asked him to keep his pledge, but so far he will not commit, and he continues to raise money for a campaign. He may have even asked you for money again," Conway's letter told donors. Read the full letter after the jump.
"As the Assembly Republican leader, I hope you will join me in urging Andy Pugno to keep his pledge and suspend his campaign, so we can all come together and concentrate on restoring conservative leadership to the state."
Pugno predicted that ...

Eye Health Center
Tight Necktie May Boost Glaucoma Risk
Loosen Up continued...
"Since the study lasted only three minutes, it is impossible to know how long it would take to return to the original eye pressure," says glaucoma specialist Harry A. Quigley, MD, of the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
"This research does not present any real evidence that this factor increases risk of glaucoma," he tells WebMD. "It is simply common sense not to wear collars that are so tight that they cut off blood return from the brain. How many men tie their ties to the point of discomfort and leave them that way for prolonged periods?"
Steven J. Gedde, MD, of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, praised the study -- and its research team -- for reminding ophthalmologists that a tight necktie may be along the other "external" factors, such as holding one's breath or having the hiccups, which can temporarily raise intraocular pressure and possibly produce false readings.
"When I measure someone's intraocular pressure, I tell patients not to hold their breath because we know that can cause a (short-term) rise in intraocular pressure. And that could influence how these levels are read and the decided course of treatment," Gedde says. "Wearing a necktie seems to fall under that same category."

Sexuality and Social Justice in Africa: Rethinking Homophobia and Forging Resistance (African Arguments)by Marc Epprecht
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The persecution of people in Africa on the basis of their assumed or perceived homosexual orientation has received considerable coverage in the popular media in recent years. Gay-bashing by high political and religious figures in Zimbabwe and Gambia; draconian new laws against lesbians and gays and their supporters in Malawi, Nigeria, Uganda; the imprisonment and extortion of gay men in Senegal and Cameroon; and so-called corrective rapes of lesbians in South Africa have all rightly sparked international condemnation. However, much of the analysis thus far has been highly critical of African leadership and culture without considering local nuances, historical factors and external influences that are contributing to the problem. Such commentary also overlooks grounds for optimism in the struggle for sexual rights and justice in Africa, not just for sexual minorities but for the majority population as well.
Based on pioneering research on the history of homosexualities and engagement with current lgbti and HIV/AIDS activism, Mark Epprecht provides a sympathetic overview of the issues at play, and a hopeful outlook on the potential of sexual rights for all.
About the Author
Marc Epprecht is a Professor in the Department of Global Development Studies at Queen's University, Canada. Marc has also taught at the University of Zimbabwe. He has consulted and published extensively on the history of gender and sexuality in Africa.

We've been fans of actor Sean Maher for a while now, from his short-lived series Ryan Caulfield: Year One, to his stints on Firefly (and the big-screen Serenity), to his newest role in NBC's The Playboy Club.
Now there's a reason to like him even more. He's just publicly come out to Entertainment Weekly.
In the article, Sean talks about his reason for coming out now, and it all comes down to his family – His partner Paul and their two children, Sophie Rose, 4, and Liam Xavier, 14 months.
"I have these beautiful children and this extraordinary family," Maher says, "and to think in any way shape or form that that's wrong or that there's shame in that or that there's something to hide actually turns my stomach." Maher kept thinking about what daughter Sophie would say when she realized he was closeted professionally. "What would she think if I said, 'Oh honey, you can't come with me to work because they don't know I have an adopted daughter and they don't know that I'm gay.' My children and our family, I've really never been as proud of anything in my life. I couldn't be happier at this point in my life, and I feel like we've created this pretty extraordinary family."
He also says that his role as a closeted man on The Playboy Club helped his decision.
Maher decided to use his role on NBC's The Playboy Club — a character coincidentally also named Sean, a closeted man who's married to lesbian Playboy Bunny Alice (Leah Renee Cudmore) – to finally engage in a dialogue about how being closeted has strained his life in Hollywood. "I was working on other stuff, and then this role came up, which was like a light bulb going off," Maher remembers. "I was like, This is perfect. I want to do this, and I want to use it as a platform to come out."
You should head over to the EW link to read more on Sean's life as a closeted actor who's now "so much more open and free," and congrats to Sean for taking that step.
And because this is a happy post, we won't get in to The Playboy Club's ratings.

Talent Management supports Whizz-Kidz
HM Government regulated, talent and modelling agency
more babies reviews / other categories
Katy for Max aged 1, Talent received: £1620.00, Ref:Y230513
We never expected that Max would be chosen as the "hero" baby for the Pampers campaign. We were delighted and so proud of him. It has been a lovely experience and we look forward to embarrassing him with the story when
he is older.
Farhana for Radisson, aged 1, Talent received: £180.00, Ref:BU602677
It was amazing to be a model for the first time. Radisson was not nervous at all. He had so much fun with the team as they were very friendly and gave him enough breaks and time to have a little nap. The team were very patient with my baby. The shoot took place indoors and outdoors so Radi was safe when he was riding the bike.
We were asked which day and what time was good for us and then Models Direct contacted the client to let them know our availability. Every part was so enjoyable that my son didn't feel like he was with strangers and modelling for the first time and on the lunch break food and drink was provided. The assignment was for a maternity bra advert where Radi was playing with his toys with his mum indoors, then out in the buggy to walk in the park and then riding on the bike with his mum. He was so excited as he was on bike seat with a helmet on. We gained confidence Radi will be more relaxed for future jobs now. It was a fantastic experience for us. We will be sharing our experience with others so they will know it's really not very hard to find a job and it will be fun.
We strongly recommend Models Direct to start your modelling career as this agency will give you first preference of what is suitable for you - not just force you to take something. It's good to join an agency for modelling for health and safety, personal security and to get advice how to do things. It is important that you keep updating your e-portfolio to get more jobs. Models Direct is one of the most popular agencies in UK who have a lot of clients, and helping new models to get jobs to kick start their modelling careers. There is a personal advisor for each model so you know who you need to talk when you unsure about something. We are looking forward to our next job!
See the finished video commercial here!
Melissa for Casey, 14 months, Talent received: £100.00, Ref:BB591694
Casey really enjoyed his first filming experience; the clients were really patient and understanding of his needs as a baby. Anna was very informative and answered all of our questions promptly with detailed information. Casey liked all the attention and was happy enough to be in his cot and car seat with the film running and us all pulling funny faces at him. I would definitely recommend both the experience and working with the professionals at Models Direct.
Maria for Valentino 7 months, Talent received: £150.00, Ref:P592594
Valentino had a great day with Kit for Kids modelling for their new nursery collection. We weren't quite sure what to expect, however Valentino had a great experience and his favourite part was having his photo taken. The client was superb and worked around Valentino's schedule and there was also a really relaxed and easy going atmosphere which was great. I would definitely recommend the experience - the babies are doing something different for the day, interacting with new people and learning something new. We chose Models Direct as it has a great reputation, and we thought if we decide to get Valentino into some baby modelling we wanted to use reputable company. Lots of people have said how cute Valentino is so we thought why not, let's give it a try and see where it gets him!
Emma for Caprice age 4 months, Talent received: £150.00, Ref:Z608515
Caprice absolutely loved her first ever modelling assignment today at Kit for Kids - she really enjoyed herself and even posed when having her picture taken! The team were so lovely; they asked me to lay her down in a cot where various shots of her were taken whilst wearing a beautiful Kit for Kids sleeping bag. She also had shots taken of her on a changing mat with an adult model.
On the shoot today I can see she has definitely gained confidence when around other people and now has experience of what an assignment might involve. I would highly recommend this experience to others, especially mums, because it was so nice to meet the other mums and share our thoughts and experiences.
I think anyone thinking about entering and working in the talent industry (whether baby or adult) should pursue their dream. It's not only encouraging for babies but a definite learning curve and lifetime of captured memories to look back on. I will be proactive in pursuing work for Caprice and will carry on updating her e-portfolio on a regular basis.
I am thrilled that I joined Caprice up to Models Direct so she will have as many opportunities that I can give her in life and I think it will be something she will be able to look back on and be proud of.
Amy for Elsie aged 1, Talent received: £120.00, Ref:P236853
Elsie did a photoshoot advertising sunblinds for pushchairs. She had to sit in a few different pushchairs with various blinds attached to them. She was very patient and happy, and really enjoyed the experience. The photographer and organiser were very good with Elsie and made her feel very comfortable. A male model did a few photos with her and he was equally as good with her. She was very content to be with everyone.
Amy for Sienna-Mae aged 1, Talent received: £120.00, Ref:Y242952
Sienna-Mae really enjoyed her first experience of being a model. She was made to feel at ease as soon as we got there and she really enjoyed all of the attention. Sienna-Mae was asked to do some shots in and around the buggy. The nicest thing was that if they felt she needed a break they would stop for a little while. It was a nice experience that I would be more than happy for Sienna-Mae to do again.
Rachael for Regan aged 9 mths, Talent received: £315.00, Ref:G252470
The Models Direct assignment felt new and exciting, it was nice to chat to other mums who were there with their children. It was really good! The best thing about the assignment was seeing my son Regan being filmed; I thought he did really well. I'm sure Regan enjoyed it as well. Regan was asked to lay down on his back and front on a table and be filmed just playing and kicking around. I thought he did great and we both enjoyed ourselves!
Katy for Max aged 1, Talent received: £720.00, Ref:Y230513
The Models Direct assignment for Pampers was a great experience for Max. Max loved meeting all the new people and everyone was very sweet to him. The photographer, Jo, was particularly nice and made sure the babies were happy and comfortable at all times. There was no pressure and everyone was very professional.
Evelyn For Jayden aged 1, Talent received: £1044.00, Ref:P237985
The photoshoot went very well. Jayden did what was expected of him. The photograher came to me and said that Jayden done very great job. He did a sleeping shoot for Pampers and he did sleep very well and they were very happy so i think everything went extremly well. We were well looked after.
Evelyn For Jayden aged 1, Talent received: £96.00, Ref:P237985
Jayden enjoyed himself and I could see he had a good time. The best thing about the assignment was that everyone was very friendly and caring. It was a 'Pampers' photo shoot and Jayden had to pose lying on his belly, looking up and smiling. Thank you for letting us represent you.
Krystal for Amelia aged 1, Talent received: £150.00, Ref:H245060
Amelia thoroughly enjoyed her first assignment and loved all the cameras and lights etc. Amelia particularly enjoyed being with her fellow models and has made 2 new friends. The assignment was to be a baby model for Channel 4's "Sex Education Show". Amelia's part in this was to be cared for by 2 teenagers who were asked to change her nappy and feed her. The idea was to show teenagers the consequences of unprotected sex and how much hard work is involved in having a baby. Amelia behaved impeccably and enjoyed all the attention she was getting from the teenagers, presenter, production and crew. We hope any future assignments are as successful as today!
Alexandra for Paige, Talent received: £150.00, Ref:Y238641
Paige completed her first assignment for Models Direct. The assignment was for Endemol productions. The filming took place in the afternoon in a high school. The assignment was for The Sex Education Show, where 6 teenage students were to experience changing a nappy and to feed Paige along with two other babies. The idea was to show how difficult it can be to have a child. Paige was comfortable and happy through out the day taking in the new environment and meeting new people. I felt comfortable and was in the room all the time during filming. The film crew were lovely and very understanding, emphasing that if at any point I was unhappy they would stop filming. The team provided us with food and refreshments during the day. The whole experience was very enjoyable and we can not wait for another opportunity. Models Direct have been fantastic; there was excellent communication regarding the assignment.
Rachel for Jayden, Talent received: £150.00, Ref:H239127
The assignment was a good day. Jayden looked like he enjoyed the day most of the time, laughing and gurgling to the camera. Jayden had his nappy changed and was fed in a high chair by a teenage couple.
Denise for Ruth, Talent received: £144.00, Ref:Z239754
The assignment went well and the client was very patient and accommodating. It was a lovely calm atmosphere, and although Ruth cannot speak for herself, I can say that she felt very relaxed. The best thing about the day was seeing it all came together, and realising how much hard work goes into these shoots. Ruth had to sleep, which may sound easy, but it is hard to get a baby to sleep on command. Nevertheless, it was fun trying.
Julia For Harry, Talent received: £150.00, Ref:L236500
We had an early start to the day but Harry arrived in good spirits. He had to play an unwanted baby and therefore the shoots were natural shots of him in the other models' arms. It took an hour or so to get enough pictures and he was really good. I'm really glad it went smoothly as it's obviously a little nerve wracking being his first assignment. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and everyone was lovely which made for a nice, relaxing experience.
Georgina For Harrison & Jake, Talent received: £60.00, Ref:R238252
It was very exciting. Harrison and Jake seemed interested and happy to participate and sit in pushchairs as required. Both Harrison and Jake were asked to model sitting in various pushchairs for a pushchair accessory shoot. Sun shades and winter snugs were used on the pushchairs with Harrison/Jake demonstrating the use of the accessory. I dressed the twins as requested by Jakki who was very good with Harrison and Jake who seemed at ease throughout our assignment. It was a great start and introduction to Harrison and Jake's modeling.
Amy For Elsie, Talent received: £120.00, Ref:P236853
Elsie was very content and happy throughout the shoot. She had a few change of clothes and change of props. She remained calm and looked like she enjoyed all the attention. The photographer was really helpful and good at getting Elsie's attention. They were very patient when it came to feed time and gave Elsie time to have a breaks. I was pleased with the whole experience and hope to have more to look forward to in the future.
Lucia For Sofia aged 1, Talent received: £60.00, Ref:P215729
The assignment went well. Sofia has now gained some modelling experience.
Heather for Mirah, Talent received: £170.00, Ref:Y216113
The assignment was fun for both Mirah and myself and very interesting. Being a model for the day Mirah seemed to feel at ease and happy with the people around her and her surroundings. The best thing about the assignment was seeing how Mirah reacted to the situation which was in a very positive way, she seems to be a natural in front of the camera. I was asked to put Mirah in her high chair while a scene was filmed with a women who was meant to be her mother. some thing I would say to someone thinking of being a model is If you think your child is suited to being a baby model or in front of a camera with lots of people then give it a go... It makes you very proud to see your baby enjoying themselves and it gives you something to look back on in the years to come. Being paid is also a bonus!

Tracey for Lola aged 1, Ref:Z199406
The 1st assignment, it was fun and Lola seemed to enjoy herself, modelling 7 outfits on the beach. We loved meeting new people and it was something different. Lola had to wear 7 different outfits and model them on brighten pier and beach, all the shoots were natural i.e. playing and running around. Summer (the coordinator) at Models Direct was very professional, giving us all the relevant information we needed. We had fun and are looking forward to other assignments.
Many thanks Models Direct.

Ikhana DHC-6 Twin Otter Fuselage Life Extension Is STC'd
Engineering modification house Ikhana Aircraft Services (Booth No. C7116) expected to receive FAA supplemental type certification (STC) of its DH-6 Twin Otter fuselage life extension by the time the NBAA show began, adding to a range of other upgrades the company offers for the twin-engine turboprop.
DHC-6 airframes are fatigue-life limited at 66,000 hours or 132,000 flights, whichever occurs first, according to Ikhana. The wing-box life limit is 33,000 hours or 66,000 flight cycles, about the half-life of the aircraft. Ikhana's RWMI DHC-6 re-life fuselage, developed by its formerly named RW Martin, Inc. subsidiary, extends the life of the rugged commuter plane. The fuselage modification, combined with other Ikhana STCs for the Twin Otter including the RWMI DHC-6 re-life wing box and DHC-6-200HG increased gross weight product "essentially transforms a DHC-6-200 into a DHC-6-300," the company says.
Ikhana, based in Murrieta, Calif., also offers DHC-6 modifications for camera hatches, wing hard points, air-conditioning, enhanced-vision system, bubble windows and Vistaliner enlarged windows as used by scenic tour operator Grand Canyon Airlines.
The company says it has seen demand for upgraded Twin Otters from markets including VIP transport, business shuttle, scientific missions cargo, skydiving and resupply of remote outposts such as oilfield rigs and Arctic research stations. Ikhana recently accomplished its 100th wing-box life extension.
Viking Air of Sidney, B.C., Canada, which owns the DHC-6 type certificate, says more than 800 aircraft have been built. Viking launched the Twin Otter Series 400 production program in 2007, and reports a backlog worth more than $300 million through 2014. Ikhana, formed in 2007, changed the names of its RW Martin and Total Aircraft Services subsidiaries last October, bringing them under the umbrella of Ikhana Group.
The company also has experience with Beechcraft King Air and Gulfstream airframes. Its headquarters is located at French Valley Airport in Murrieta, where a 45,000-sq-ft facility supports aircraft modifications, heavy maintenance and major repairs. The former RWMI operates as an FAA-approved Part 145 certified repair station and is an official Viking factory-endorsed service center for DHC-6 and DHC-7 aircraft.
The factory designation allows the facility to provide support of legacy de Havilland aircraft as well as the Twin Otter Series 400. Ikhana's aircraft engineering services are based in a 6,000-sq-ft facility adjacent to Van Nuys Airport in California. The former Total Aircraft Services staff consists of senior design and analytical engineers and FAA designated engineering representatives specializing in aircraft systems, damage tolerance and aircraft interior certification.
Greetings from the sunny and tiny beautiful SAMOA, an Island just south of Hawaii. Southern hemisphere.
You know we are anticipating getting one of our Otter a re-lifed fuselage.
Queries; [1] .......We had just completed our wing re-lifed mod in-house about two years ago, and doublers have been added to beef up necessary areas of concern as per specified mod >> My question >With the re-lifed fuselage>Would this have an adverse effect on the aircraft cross weight afterward?.
[2].....I have read your proposal Q12-027. Should we decide on an exchange with our Otter S/# 690 what would be an estimated price?.
NOTE; The decission on either of the above lie squarely on our board members however I do need to submit a report to support and to convince them before a decission is made.
Thank you
Manager Engineering

Global News Journal
Beyond the World news headlines
from Africa News blog:
Africa back to the old ways?
The overthrow of Madagascar's leader may have had nothing to do with events elsewhere in Africa, but after four violent changes of power within eight months the question is bound to arise as to whether the continent is returning to old ways.
Three years without coups between 2005 and last year had appeared to some, including foreign investors, to have indicated a fundamental change from the first turbulent decades after independence. This spate of violent overthrows could now be another reason for investors to tread more warily again, particularly as Africa feels the impact of the global financial crisis.
"Although I don't think these instances of instability in Africa are related to each other or part of a pattern, I think there's no doubt external constituents and businesspeople around the world will assume there is a pattern," said Tom Cargill, Africa Programme Coordinator at London thinktank Chatham House.
The fact that coup makers have succeeded without being forced to step down or even face major censure could also embolden those who might be tempted to take power in bigger countries, where falling growth is encouraging disaffection.
from Africa News blog:
Will Gaddafi bring change to African Union?
Libya's often controversial leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has finally won the top seat at the African Union and promised to accelerate his drive for a United States of Africa, but it seems doubtful that even his presence in the rotating chairmanship will do anything to overcome the reluctance of many African nations to accelerate moves towards a federal government.
Gaddafi, a showman whose fiery, often rambling speeches, sometimes unconventional behaviour and colourful robes are always a scene stealer at international gatherings, has been pushing for a pan-regional govenrment for years. But like his previous, three-decade drive to to promote Arab unity, it has not aroused much enthusiasm in many quarters. All the AU's 53 states have said they agree in principle but estimates for how long this will take vary from nine years to 35.
Austria's Haider: a hero beyond the grave?
He may have died in a car crash last month whilst drunk, but Austrian rightist Joerg Haider is not gone.
Haider, who was enmeshed in nearly every part of Austrian political life, is now being hailed for his efforts to help two Austrian hostages being held in the Sahara months before his death.
Gaddafi and Lukashenko – coming in from the cold?
Posted by Andrei Makhovsky and Salah Sarrar
Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko and Libyan leader
Muammar Gaddafi found they had plenty in common when they met in
Minsk this week.
Both their countries have started to come in from the cold after years of
international isolation and sanctions that were imposed on their
countries because of their policies.
They also share a vision of a multi-polar world to
counterbalance U.S. influence.
Gaddafi – No longer "Mad Dog" of Middle East
Once called the "mad dog of the Middle East" by President Ronald Reagan, Libya's leader Muammar Gaddafi will meet U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice this week.
Senior State Department official David Welch told reporters he had met Gaddafi — "a person of personality and experience" — several times.


text: From a very young age I always found myself playing racing games and unconsciously driving the various Fords that the games had to offer. My best friend's dad drove a 90's Camaro and I thought it was nice, but left much to be desired. Then I saw it, the brand new 2005 model Mustangs. I had never seen such a work of art and I knew I needed to have one. Fast forward some time later, I had received my license. I drove my grandfather's Ford Ranger for a while, dreaming of the day I could afford a Mustang. Only to add to my desire, my mother's new boyfriend possessed a 1999 Mustang GT. It was not my favorite model, but was nice. When he learned of my love of the car, he talked with my mother and devised a plan. He bought a 2001 V6 Mustang behind my back and fixed it good as new, even adding a few touches to make it look like a Mach1- my favorite model. A few months down the road I had a minor surgery – wisdom teeth removal – and was incapacitated for a few days. When I awoke from my drowsy state one afternoon I looked to my left and saw a set of keys. I figured that they had been left by visitors and went to find the owner. I stepped outside and saw nothing more than the Mustang. Silver, with '03 GT rims and a chin spoiler. I instantly feel in love. I asked my mom where it came from. She then informed me that she had sold our Expedition and bought it from her boyfriend. For me. My heart hit my throat and I immediately ran out and started her up. I instantly named her Mary, my Mustang. I finally had my dream car, like a dream come true.

Taxi drivers lock down cities across Europe
Now this is really amusing.  A smartphone app called Uber allows customers to book taxi rides "near instantly" from any company.  It shows the prices between companies, it shows taxis that are near you, and it allows customers to share feedback on service.
So how do Black Cab and licensed Taxi drivers react?
They go on strike.

Your CODPAC Dollars at WorkNovember 20, 2012
During the 2012 election cycle, members of the CODPAC Board of Directors conducted an extensive candidate screening process to identify and support dentistry's best advocates at the state Capitol. CODPAC interviewed almost 40 candidates for state legislative office, and received written applications from nearly 60 additional candidates. CODPAC ultimately supported 56 candidate campaigns and endorsed 21 of these candidates at the highest level of support. CODPAC's interview and endorsement process allowed the CDA to foster important relationships for the 2013 legislative session and educate candidates on critical dental issues.

I'm not so sure, from 'on the ground', so to speak, if Ireland is 'bearing fruit' as you put it.
The whole thing is deferred through the ECB loaning us money (on debt they applied to us through the bank guarantee which was mandated to protect Anglo's lenders in Germany), and the country has only the resources to chip away at the interest on this double-debt.
The 'fruits' are short-term savings made on cuts and sales that once made cannot be repeated – ie; they are not an income (the cuts could be seen as reducing expenditure and hence de facto income but they in turn have removed private spending).
There is massive looming mortgage default (over 20 percent of all mortgages acc. to Morgan Kelly, economist; and that's on the conservative side), so the banks face further losses and liquidity problems; ie; more money will be asked for by them.
The IMF/ECB 'solution' re- Ireland is rather superficial window dressing, I'm afraid.

The Elephant Princess is an Australian children's show created by Jonathan M. Shiff (creator of H2O: Just Add Water). Only had two seasons consisting of 52 episodes which aired from 2008-2011.The show follows Alex, a regular girl, or at least that's what she thinks until her 16th birthday, when a boy named Kuru and an elephant named Anala show up, and Kuru tells her that she is the heir to the throne of a land called Manjipoor. With Kuru's help, Alex defend her place on the throne against her cousin, Vashan.

Substantial mechanical spoilers ahead.
Skyrim is a strange beast: it is a surprisingly easy game to break (as in, become overpowered). I say surprisingly because, once you get over the fact that there are only three character attributes, it becomes apparent that the leveling system in TESV is significantly tighter and—*gasp*—deeper than that of TESIV.
Admittedly, leveling in Oblivion wasn't all that deep so much as it was tedious. It never really got further than just keeping an accurate count of all your skill level ups to maximize attribute gains per character level (well, that and making sure not to pick any skills you would ever actually use as your majors). Being a crazy weirdo, though, I found that obligatory meticulousness to be the most engaging and rewarding aspect of the entire experience.
So, despite coming in to the game with an initial skepticism (and even a bit of dismay), I was pleased to be convinced that Skyrim is one of the few, few games where streamlining is not just a euphemism for reduction towards shallower gameplay. Unlike most games that fail at streamlining by merely paring away existing features, Skyrim is much more of a fundamental redesign from the ground up.
The focus and tension, however, loosens considerably around level 30 or so (or simply, once you max out enchanting and smithing—more on that later). And yet it remains a genuinely fun game to play even after arriving at build solutions that can render your character well-nigh invincible. Indeed, the fun of it lies in the very discovery of all the myriad ways to break the game.
Importantly, once you get bored of one solution, you can essentially start a "new game+" with renewed challenge in the same game by picking up a new, previously unused set of skills (just make sure you really need those perks before you spend points in them). And it is the very fact that certain mechanical possibilities are so overpowered that makes this possible.
The strangest thing about Skyrim, then, is that it achieves balance by frequently letting the player break it.
A large part of why this works lies in the open nature of the game. Being able to make ludic progress without having to make a narrative one has always been the advantage of open world games, but Skyrim takes this even further by letting you do boss fights whenever you want. In a way, it harkens back to maxing out your wanted level in GTA3 (and living to tell the tale), when it was still both enjoyable and profitable to cause random destruction.
No longer do you have to thanklessly re-trudge through a dungeon long gone stale to reach that nugget of fun: you can just fast travel to it directly and chain dragon fight after dragon fight after giant fight after giant fight. Plus, since all your top items are going to be self-crafted anyway, these engagements become about ludic performance (with maybe some bonus skill gains tossed in) and far less about grinding for loot—a test of player skill, not player patience.
The best part of this, of course, is that it allows you to stress test your character build whenever you want, and that sort of instant and tangible feedback is what makes breaking Skyrim so rewarding and engaging. It's also what keeps the gameplay from becoming stale. Find something new, try it out, enjoy it for a while when it works, then move on to earning another new, shiny skill. Just sitting around thinking up novel ways to combine skills is silly fun.
The same character later as a sword & board damage sponge.
I want to be a bit more specific by what I mean when I say that certain mechanical possibilities being overpowered is what allows the player to try out new skill sets. For a particular example, let's talk about crafting (this is where the mechanics discussion will get a little hairy).
The crafting skills are now robust enough to completely support the player on their own. This mainly has to do with two factors: 1. you can now fortify a magic school to reduce magicka cost to casting spells from that school to ZERO; 2. The damage reduction cap of 80% can be reached with a relatively low armor rating (567), while the master enchantment perk of two enchantments on an item lets you max out resistances too.
As an experiment, I decided to start a new game (master difficulty) to level only the crafting skills until I had maxed them out (good lord that used up all of Saturday). This took me to level 35, which would basically have resulted in an unplayable game in previous TES games. The suspicion, however, was that using enchantment to boost alchemy (loop that twice) to boost smithing would put me a stone's throw away from hitting the damage reduction cap with the starting Heavy Armor skill level.
This suspicion was borne out with an AR of 447 at level 15 Heavy Armor with no perks, and sure enough, my character was quickly tanking giants and spamming restoration with aplomb.
The fact that enchanting can now be done by non-spell casters (and that filled soul gems are sold by merchants) is a fairly huge deal, and shows how much the game has been redesigned. Most shockingly, magicka cost reduction buffs will also reduce cost to soul charged items. With max Fortify Destruction, your absorb health/magicka/stamina and elemental damage charges will never run out, while max Fortify Alteration will let you spam paralyze with every attack (heck, you can do both!), etc.
At any rate, what all this demonstrates is that having areas with set level ranges or difficulties is not the only thing that makes Skyrim's scaling difficulty more genuine. Much thought has gone into how different skills and passive effects can relate to or make up for each other (as demonstrated by the ability to hit the damage reduction cap or spam magic by investing in crafting perks, etc.).
The end result is that the player is much less likely to be punished for not knowing what skills to keep up, while players who already know (or spent perks carefully) are significantly rewarded with hilarious amounts of agency. And the game is well-tuned enough that it rarely feels like the player has agency that wasn't earned through effort or discovery.
The great fun of Skyrim, then, is that it convincingly manages to be po-faced and secretly outrageous at the same time. I've hit level 50 nearly twice now, and the absurd/black humor of shield charge or snapping to first person for a dual gut stab finishing animation still hasn't gotten old.
Since I was spending so much time playing Skyrim, a friend of mine who had never tried any of the Elder Scrolls games asked me to describe what kind of game it was. The inevitable question came up: does it have multiplayer? Once he heard the answer, his interest flagged, and I lamely attempted to discuss how single player games can achieve deeper experiences of a kind that can't really be pursued in multiplayer games (all I could come up with at that moment was "by going deeper").
Actually thinking that through though, there is a genuine and tangible reason: single player games can go deeper by not having to worry or care about if the player is playing fair. The cap on earned player agency can therefore be significantly higher, making it more likely that the limits of player skill are set by the player himself, and not arbitrarily by the game to achieve balance and parity. These are games that can be solved, and it's hard to overstate how important it is that the player can repeatedly work on improving very specific aspects of his game.
And Skyrim, with its immediate feedback implementations, does this beautifully well. It's a game that tangibly rewards experimental investment and knowledge discovery, and it's one of the most engaging ludic experiences in recent memory.
|Dan Felder
Excellent analysis and work. I'd like to add that designing for single player lets the player become THE hero of the world and make a difference in it. Their actions can destroy towns or save them. You can't do that easily when the boss needs to respawn shortly after. Guildwars 2 is attempting to tackle this beast, but single player games can go to far greater lengths giving the power to change things to the players.

Great insight, Taekwan! And this sentence was just... awesome!
"significantly rewarded with hilarious amounts of agency." LOVE IT. Such a great, concise summary of a way we can reward the player without artifice.
|Maurício Gomes
Heh, awesome.
I miss games where I could do what I was not supposed to do, like... making the entire UNATCO attack a robot in Deus Ex, or hit the camera crew in Superstar Soccer Deluxe (SNES) and then use the super goalie cheat, kick the ball out of the stadium (it is a bug that make the ball never return) and then race with the side judges.
|Greg Wilcox
Excellent article. I'm absolutely thrilled that Bethesda is continuing to make solid single-player focused games, as I'm no fan of MMO's at all, no matter how good they claim to be. Without a narrative (Skyrim has many threads that end up sewing themselves into some pretty engaging side missions), a MMO is just a bunch of folks getting together in a virtual coffee house/theme park to chat and play in a closed off sandbox. I like being able to take my time, experiment with things and yes, see the results, succeed or fail.
That said, the thought it takes into crafting and alchemy seems to be lost on some players who are actually complaining about not being able to tank because the support AI doesn't seem to level correctly. I say to those folks, if you're NOT using enchantments and experimenting with the stuff Bethsoft added to make the experience as you've written, you're not getting the best out of the game.
Now, about that patch the game really needs... I just ran into an NPC sticking halfway out of the ground from the waist up, which scared the heck out of me when I first saw him. I believe he was coming to try to kill my character because I double-crossed him on a quest a few days back. However, he's not doing much poking out of the pavement, so I guess I'll never find out what he wants...

Hong Kong beauties stiffed by hackers' enormous poll attack
Fans of simpering scantily clad vixens are furious after the online voting system to pick the next Miss Hong Kong was demolished by hackers, allegedly. The winner of the much-hyped beauty pageant, held on Sunday, was instead decided by a panel of judges. Broadcaster TVB had been stringing the public along for months with endless …
"You wouldn't see this sort of thing happening during Strictly"
No : I wouldn't be watching. Yech.
More mischief?
Apparently, whoever visited the mischief on the beauty pageant has spread it to El Reg, as my browser was unable to download the pictures of the contestants that, most assuredly, were included in the original item.
Perhaps someone could look into this?
This story is useless without pictures....
Great Headline in the linked article....
"Miss HK turns ugly" - In case anyone can't be bothered to click.
We need pictures!
Having a surname....
...that sounds a bit like "minger" doesn't bode well.
Re: Having a surname....
With initial names that sound like Carrot Chewing the winner may well have been Bugs Bunny.
Re: Having a surname....
Actually the Carat and Tracy bits are their "English" names. Their surnames are Cheung and Chu respectively and likewise their given names are Ming-nga and Chin-suet. Further, I'd wager she intended the name to be Carol and not Carat but something got lost in translation somewhere.
Oh, better pics, head shots anyway, here.
Rich: She's got a tattoo on her face!
Eddie: No, that's just a bit of blood.
I'd like to offer my services as a penetration tester for future beauty pageants.

A variation on that other thread. I didn't get my start in infosec
because I got hacked. I was a huge (beige hat) fan of the movie War
Games, if you catch my drift.
BBSs, tymnet, telenet (no, that's not a typo kids...) and other random
x.25 links found via wardialing were my first playgrounds. I remember
one day, as the sun rose on a typical all-nighter, I said to myself
"Cool, I just taught myself how to use DEC VMS, I bet I'd be good at a
job working with computers..."
So, who got into IT in the hopes that they could one day start getting
paid for something they had done for fun in the past? (And is willing
to admit it ;-)
I did - it's still a lot of fun, though there's a lot more paperwork involved.

yes be anorexic! Means more food for me!
yes be anorexic! Means more food for me!
Is this person retarded? Oh well, you're fat. Stop eating and enjoy the new look!
On the serious note: You need help before it's too late.
Aside from the psychological disease part... eating isn't all that fun, you know. >_> And in a society where being abnormal means you actually cannot survive, it's not hard to see why people don't eat, and don't enjoy it.
I could care less if you're anorexic, if you die, it means one less retarded person for me to look down on.
Yech. You obviously have not seen those 'pro-anorexic' sites out there.
There's a picture of this girl bending back adn touchig her freaking ankles.
Looks like a sheet of rubber on bones.
My friend is... sort of going anorexic in a slight-binge then starve thing.
She's got it in her head that if she starves herself for a week then she won't feel hungry anymore =='
And she's only a size 12. Completely ridiculoud to starve herself.
It seems Slevin has what I have... so all I can sy is anorexia who? XDSlevin: I have ataraxia.
Lindsey: Ataraxia?
Slevin: It's a condition characterized by freedom from worry or any other pre-occupation really.
I'd like to die with the songs I love stuck in my head. I hope to make the most of these hollow bones we become.
I raise a toast to the the souls that sang all along. I've been gathering friends to just to make some sounds,
before the ship goes down, I've been making amends by making the rounds before the whole world ends
[Chit Chat Specific Forum Rules] // Last Update - Friday March 13, 2009
ONLY a size twelve? That may sound terrible of me; it's my size too, but, um, it is DAMN hard to find clothes - not even just clothes that look good - in that size. They're all made for tiny people. But really, that's not small.
...Oh wait, you're from Europe, right? Maybe the sizes are different there.
...and you know, if you don't eat, you stop feeling hungry after a while. Makes it easier to get through school, as I've experienced. Eating is for the afternoon. =P
Hmm... you must be an idiot.
Anorexic people do not look good, If you truely believe that they do, you have issues.
There is nothing about starving yourself that is a good idea.
I think the main reason most people think anorexia is a bad thing is because of a little thing called death. If it can kill you most people tend to think something is bad as opposed to good.
But hey, have fun if thats the way you wanna live your life...
Size 4 here is size 0 over in the US right?
I''m sort of a size 8-10. Waist 27. That would be about, erm, size 14 in America/
I don't know... I know the US has size 0, and we probably do too. But wait... you said that's a 4? But an 8-10 is an American 14? o_o Confused. A 14 here is pretty big, you know... it's for curvy people, to say the least. Sure it's not the other way around? I don't think a 27 waist is a size 14...

The Tennessee Volunteers (4-5, 1-4) are looking to break a two game losing skid on Saturday against the Auburn Tigers (8-1, 4-1).
The Vols matchup with the Tigers isn't the most favorable one for them to end their losing streak.
Auburn is a team that throws the ball little and runs the ball — a lot.
Tennessee has had more than their share of issues with stopping the run this season, especially running QBs.
After two weeks on the road, the Vols will be returning to a sold out crowd at Neyland Stadium, which will be one huge advantage for the Volunteers.
Here's all the gameday info you need in advance of Tennessee's game against the Auburn Tigers.
Venue: Neyland Stadium (102,455)
Kickoff: 12:00 PM ET
Commentators: Dave Pasch, Brian Griese
Radio: Sirius Premier Ch. 91, XM Ch. 91, Vol Network

I've been quiet because I've been away on vacation, ánd I'm trying out something completely new!
It's so much different than stitching, but it's a lot of fun and I'm trying to do a lot of practise.
I hope to become okay in amigurumi, because it's super duper cute and it'd be so much fun to be able to whip up a cute little turtle to gift to my friends. But all I've managed to make looking okay is a bowtie.
Oh well, better than nothing.
Other than my brand new hobby I still have 3 ponies lined up to make;
- Filly Luna
- Cadance
- Evermore (EqF's OC)
I've got the fabrics in and I'm ready to start making these.
I'm a little sick at the moment, so I'm going to wait until I feel a little better to start on them.
Don't want to accidentally cough some european germs into these ponies!

'Camilla' Intro Storyboard

Happy Birthday, Saul Bass
In honor of what would have been Saul Bass' 94th birthday this week, we highlight some previously unseen photographs from the Academy's Saul Bass Collection. In arguably his best known and most acclaimed film, "Why Man Creates" (1968, Academy Award® winner for Documentary Short Subject), the section entitled "The Process" features photographs and voices of influential figures. The sequence, which includes Thomas Edison, Ernest Hemingway and Albert Einstein, addresses how these individuals persevered when encountering difficulty.
The Archive recently found outtakes for "Why Man Creates" that include staged vintage portraits of Bass, labeled as "Saul As Old Creator." Bass' daughter Jennifer says a couple of these were on the wall in his office and were taken as part of experiments for creating the look of the sequence. Since they were transferred to 16mm film, it seems possible they were once considered for inclusion in the film. Like his colleague Alfred Hitchcock, Bass did pop up on occasion in his own films, and while he did not ultimately appear in "Why Man Creates" he did provide the whimsical voice effects of a bouncing ball in that film's "A Parable" sequence. Bass's playful side can be heard and seen in "Why Man Creates" and is evident in these images as well.
The Academy's Saul Bass Collection includes 132 linear feet of papers and 15.2 linear feet of photographs at the Academy's Margaret Herrick Library and over 2,700 moving image items at the Academy Film Archive. The Academy has preserved Saul Bass's "Why Man Creates" and Academy Award® nominee "Notes on the Popular Arts" (1977).

Season's Greetings from a Hollywood Legend
In addition to his groundbreaking film title sequences for Vertigo, Psycho, The Man with the Golden Arm and Spartacus, and the television anthology Alcoa Premiere, Saul Bass created iconic logos and trademarks for many businesses and corporations ranging from United Airlines and Lawry's Foods to the Girl Scouts and AT&T, for which he crafted the famous globe still in use today. Bass's logo for Alcoa, the Aluminum Company of America (that introduced aluminum foil in 1910), has represented the 125-year-old company for the past 50 years.
In the late 1950s, Bass developed an aluminum foil gift wrap line called "Designs for Giving" for the Reynolds Metals Company of Reynolds Wrap fame. The wrap, test-marketed during the 1958 Christmas season, featured designs with bold, attractive colors and unusual patterns, taking full advantage of the luxurious foil. It was packaged like bolts of fabric in tray packs, which allowed the consumer to see more of the pattern than in a traditional roll.
Typical of the designer, Bass conceptualized all elements, from in-store displays to accessories such as wrapping tags. Though ephemeral, traces of the gift wrap survive among the Saul Bass papers in the Margaret Herrick Library's Special Collections, in the form of sample sheets and a promotional spiral-bound brochure. The former site of the Reynolds Decorative Foil Division on South Robertson in Los Angeles is now a neighborhood filled with boutique shops from Ralph Lauren to Lisa Kline.

We're honored. Within the first week of releasing our Prospector tool, we've had nearly 300 signups. But…we've surveyed a bunch of users and found most were not using the search function to its full potential. This post is meant to help with that.
Below are 5 scenarios and ways you can use Prospector to help find your targets.
#1 I want to find all the Marketing executives in the greater Chicago Area except for the ones in Coca-Cola and AT&T
#2 I want to find all current Georgia Tech undergraduate engineers with a GPA above 3.5
#3 I want to find potential thought-leaders in the field of "B2B sales" in the Atlanta.
#4 I want to find out all the people within the state of Georgia who are within the American Marketing Association LinkedIn group
#5 I want to find Atlanta software developers who have impressive work experiences at Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Amazon, or Twitter.
Here are our takeaways:
1) Be specific about the intent of your search inquiries
2) Use Google operators to articulate your search queries
The ones used in the above examples are:
"text1 text2 text3″ || Quotes will tell the Prospector to search for the terms within the quotes exactly as specified
~TEXT1 || The tilde (~) will tell the Prospector to look for the search terms similar to TEXT1
-TEXT1 || The minus symbol will tell the Prospector to disregard any search which has TEXT1 included in it
NEXT TEXT1 || This is a proximity operator which searches for words that are in proximity to each other
This video may help also:
Hey everybody, Kyle Porter here with Salesloft. We're going to show you a few tips on how to use the prospecting tool more efficiently. The first is, be more specific with your search queries. This will help you get better results. For example, I'm using "Greater Atlanta Area" as part of this query. Its gonna give me back results with prospects that are in the Greater Atlanta Area. Another way to do it is to use LinkedIn specific group names. Here I'm using the Marketo Users and Friends group, these are private groups but we can pull information from them with prospects that are part of the group.
In general, we recommend just being creative. Here is an example of me running a search across Georgia Institute of Technology students with an expected graduation date of 2015 who are in the CS program. That would help with our intern search. The next thing I want to show is how you can grab more than one page of data with your Prospector results. All you have to do is go to the bottom of the Google page and click next to pull up the next page of results and click the Prospector icon. And you can keep doing this over and over and over until you reach the desired amount of data in your table. Export to the spreadsheet, just like normal…and perfect. Its super simple and easy and it's a way to get more information out of LinkedIn straight into a spreadsheet.
