A low-stakes con artist and killer poker player, Griffen "Grifter" McCandles graduated college fully expecting his wealthy family to have a job waiting for him. Instead, his mysterious uncle reveals a strange family secret: Griffen and his sister, Valerie, are actually dragons.
Unwilling to let Uncle Mal take him under his wing, so to speak, Griffen heads to New Orleans with Valerie to make a living the only way he knows how. And even the criminal underworld of the French Quarter will heat up when Griffen lands in town.
"Asprin tackles a new kind of comic fantasy, a little more serious and hard-boiled than previous books."—Library Journal
"Colorful."—Publishers Weekly
"This is the start of what looks like will be a great urban fantasy series that is funky, funny, and fun…Robert Asprin has begun another fine myth with his first entry in his wild dragon culture."—Midwest Book Review
It's extremely exciting, but also a little scary. This is unlike anything I've written before, so there's no way to be sure how the readers will react. Will this be a "new voice" for me, or the biggest bomb since Hiroshima? It's particularly nerve wracking, as I've just finished the sequel, Dragons Wild, without any feedback from readers or reviewers. Really is time to cross the fingers and hope.
Some readers may know that you've been living in New Orleans for the last good many years, and that you're quite the poker player yourself. Did you love poker before the latest craze? What about it appeals to you? Is being a good poker player anything like being a writer, creating a "stone face" fictional persona to keep the other players guessing?
My love of poker dates back to my college days at Michigan during the 60's. (Actually, from before that as my first lessons were from my Dad while still in Elementary school.) I still prefer the standard forms of Draw and Stud Poker over the new Texas Hold'em Craze. They're not as conducive to "timed play" like on TV or in tournaments, but it's still what I think of as "real poker".
What drew you to New Orleans? What was your experience of Hurricane Katrina? Did it change your feelings about the place? Are you going to stay?
I fell in love with New Orleans, particularly the French Quarter when I first vacationed here in 1989. Good food, good music, and an "old small town" feel to it. More to the point, they keep the same kind of hours I do, being more than a bit of a night owl.
Katrina was a life changing experience for anyone who experienced it. While there were many horror stories and heroic stories about what went on, I actually had it pretty easy. The French Quarter was high and dry through the whole thing, so it was just a matter of sitting it out. I did finally evacuate a week after the storm, when living without electricity or water (not to mention fresh food) got to be a pain. It was three weeks before they'd let us return, but I'm back and here to stay.
Dragons Wild—It's a fantasy that appeals to a lot of people—turning 21 and inheriting a lot of money. Your character must be pretty disappointed that he inherits something else entirely. Did you know spoiled boys like this when you were younger? Is this story a way of turning the tables on the rich boys?
Actually, I grew up in a middle class household. The few "rich kids" I knew actually seemed to have it a lot rougher than most people envision. (A LOT of family pressure on their lives and careers.) Rather than "turning the tables", I think of the story more as showing that even someone with privileges suffers the same insecurities and trials that anyone else does, perhaps a bit more because there are more people depending on them.
What's next for Robert Asprin?
As I mentioned, the jury is still out on the Dragons series. Both I and the publishers want to see how the readers react to it before committing to more. In the meantime, I'm continuing to collaborate with Jody Lynn Nye on the Myth series, and will return to the Phule universe to try a couple solo novels in that.

Today the girls and I took some poinsettias to one of the local nursing homes. I called ahead to ask if it would be alright if we stopped by and the nurses were very nice. When we arrived, I asked if they would mind perhaps pointing out to us residents who could use a little boost. It was such a great experience for the three of us. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to see the girls and loved the flowers. Our visit afforded me the opportunity to talk to the girls about showing respect and compassion for their elders. There was one sweet lady who followed the girls from room to room because she liked them so well and another who was so excited about the flowers but was worried because she couldn't remember where her room was located. We talked about the fact that every one there had once been young just like the girls are now, had dreams and ambitions, had grown up and were probably married just like Anna and Lauren would be someday, had made families of their own, played with their grandchildren and were now spending their twilight years possibly alone and far from family. Both girls decided they wanted to go back and visit again, and Lauren said she would like to draw some pictures to hand out, and Anna thought it would be nice if she could go back and sing a song or two. I thought both ideas were fantastic and we'll have to plan to do just that.

Style or Substance? One Data Point
A big question for me in assessing the new Pope's performance is whether the admittedly dramatic (and, in my opinion, hopeful) differences between Francis and Benedict are simply matters of style or whether they portend some substantive change in direction for the bureaucracy. One of the litmus tests I set for myself was Francis's treatment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious ("LCWR"). The first reports are now coming in on that front, and style seems to be edging ahead of substance. Today, the Vatican issued a statement that the leadership of the LCWR had met with Cardinal Muller (prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) and Archbishop Sartain (Seattle), the man appointed by the Vatican to keep the nuns in line. According to the Vatican's statement, "Archbishop Mller informed the Presidency [of the LCWR] that he had recently discussed the Doctrinal Assessment with Pope Francis, who reaffirmed the findings of the Assessment and the program of reform for this Conference of Major Superiors." It is admittedly still early, and the Vatican statement leaves a lot of room for a future change in direction. It is worth keeping an eye on this in coming months.

My initial, impetuous response to the news the LCWR's leadership with Archbishops Muller andwas keen disappointment and, for a moment, the thought crossed my mind that perhaps those who say that new Pope's style is all form and no substance are correct. Then I re-read the press report. I noted that they (Muller and Sartain) "said" that they had met with the Pope, and that they "said" that he reaffirmed the "findings of the Assessment and the program of reform. They "said" ... how reliable is their word? Was the Pope told the truth about how the "assessment" was conducted -- in a manner that was at best insensitive and at worst hostile to the LCWR? It seems significant to me that the Franciscan the Pope has appointed to be Secretary of the Congregation for Consecrated Life is much more open to meeting with the Sisters and seeking concensus. Neither Muller nor Sartain have been appointed by this Pope, and for all we know, they may be on their way out! We have all learned the hard lesson that Roman careerists and bureaucrats are often less than honest. I don't believe that we're getting the whole story .,, yet!
It is still early. The process will show more than initial statements. Historically the Curia routinely state that the pope agrees or confirms what they did. It is not always so in actuality. The Curia tries to to run the pope while feigning obedience. Let's see what Francis actually says or not says. It is still a time where the pope is reassessing the Curia. The question may be whether Francis will affirm the Curia itself.
Agreed: still early. The LCWR may still decide to walk away, as is their right. And Pope Francis may not be the victim of a lie or careful falsehood. But if he does agree with Archbishops Muller and Sartain, then he is simply wrong about that issue. And everyone moves on. Simple.
This pope would be plain foolish to proceed with a witchhunt, and I suspect he knows it. Same with women's ordination and optional celibacy. If he's smart, he'll leave any controversial issues to a successor, and I suspect Francis is smart. I look for no major initiatives from the new papacy. "Steady as she goes", as they say.
The Rest of the Story:We dont know how this issue was presented to Pope Francis and if he is aware of these facts:Sr. Patricia Farrell, former head of the LCWR, is a FRANCISCAN, who spent more than two decades as a missionary in Latin America (Chile and El Salvador). She arrived in El Salvador just months after the brutal the four missionaries (Srs, Ita Ford, Maura Clarke, Dorothy Kazel and lay missionary, Jean Donovan) were tortured, raped and murdered by a Salvadoran military death squad in 1980. That happened just months after Ford had arrived in El Salvador from Chile.When asked about her life, she said: The best of what we do is not about high drama.Sr. Florence Deacon, present head of the LCWR, is also a FRANCISCAN, who among her accomplishments in academia, has spent five years advocating for the poor at the United Nations as director of the New York office of Franciscans International.
As I read the statement from the Vatican it was only Muller who met with the pope.I am more interested in who called the meeting and how long ago (before or after the election of the pope.)I have heard and read that some people think that the whole investigation may end up in the dustbin.The fact that the statement mentions specifically that the pope is reaffirming the reform makes me suspect that Sartain is concerned about his and the reforms status under the new pope and might have requested the meeting.
I like the title of the post: we have to relearn Vaticanese. It is only with time that we will know what this kind of statements means. For now I would assume that what the pope says is what he means, but that what others say the pope has said means nothing.
I know nothing about the ins and outs of "Vatican-ese." One thing that occurs to me as a possibility. If Pope Francis is pursuing a policy of decentralization, or collegiality, or whatever is the right term, and if the USCCB pressed for action against the LCWR, then could it be that the pope is deferring to the USCCB? Like every other form of government, collegiality has its price!But, as I say, I know nothing of the "inside baseball" game that is played in the Vatican, some version of which is to be found in every significant bureaucracy.
From one of the regulars awhile back. Let's hope that this is no longer applicable under Francis:VATICANESE relies on secrecy and obfuscation to try to avoid culpability and change. The chief rules are:1. For starters, do not apologize, do not explain.2. Divert attention: talk about something else even in answer to direct questions.3. Speak in generalizations rather than specifics if you can get away with it.4. When necessary to speak affirmatively, speak ambiguously so later you can say you didnt mean what everyone took you to mean.5. Say that words have unusual meanings in Canon Law and the bishops understand that if the New York Times doesnt.6, Say the CDF has the matter under advisement and that the CDF really isnt the Inquisition anymore.7. When the Vaticans position is obviously subject to criticism, suggest in darkly worded tones that the oppositions position leads to unnamed but inevitably immoral consequences.8. When you have been forced to reverse your position, begin your reversal with the phrase, As the Vatican said earlier . . . : or in extremis, As the Church has always taught.Ann Olivier http://www.commonwealmagazine.org/blog/?p=11783#comments
Ann .... your words live on in my archives!
A prefect of a congregation would never issue a public statement saying that the pope had "reaffirmed" the Doctrinal Assessment unless the pope had indeed done so. I believe Archbishop Mueller met with Pope Francis last week. Absent a denial from the pope, I think we have to accept the statement as it stands. Whether the LCWR has a right of appeal, I don't know. It's very likely, but at the same time it would probably be long and complex.I think Bernard Dauenhauer's interpretation makes sense. Since the pope has set up what some seem to think is an already operative "cabinet" style of governance, did he consult with the American member of the group, who is a religious?
I wonder what kind of relationship Bergoglio had with religious women in his diocese, especially if they are American.
I think "style" and "substance" are really inadequate categories on which to compare Benedict and Francis. Style can be so much more than fluff; we could speak of methodological differences, or differences in perspective, or a hundred other things. I guess I should say that I am not looking for a change in substance on this topic from Francis, but I think something more than "style" is called for.
A noteworthy comment from Steven Millies at http://americamagazine.org/content/all-things/pope-francis-cdf-and-lcwr : "I'll say, though, having spent the weekend meeting with a group of sisters at the college they sponsor--it seemed to me that they need a sign of hope from Pope Francis. What we're doing here is contextualizing, rationalizing, and explaining that this development may not be as bad as it seems. That's all well. It may not be that bad, in fact. But it's also not the hopeful sign that these beleaguered women were hoping for, and that is a sign that their need for hope has not been noted. That is the worrying thing."What did the report say again? Was it ever made public? I keep forgetting what's wrong with the religious sisters.
The Doctrinal Assessment is here:http://www.usccb.org/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&pageid=55544How could I forget its complaint of Radical Feminism?
A prefect of a congregation would never issue a public statement saying that the pope had reaffirmed the Doctrinal Assessment unless the pope had indeed done so.I suppose it depends on how much Francis knew about the issue before the meeting with Muller. If the meeting was an first-time overview of everything the CDF is working on, I could imagine that the LCWR part might have taken up less than five minutes of the discussion, along the lines of "i have a meeting scheduled next week with a group of women religious who had some friction with the US conference of bishops. We had a bishop investigate and he reported that there were serious problems - so we issued a Doctrinal Assessment and appointed a US cardinal to supervise the group for five years. Shall I tell them that I have discussed this with you and you agree that we should continue as planned?"
JohnSartain isn't a cardinal - yet.
John, all the more discouraging to think that something like this was handled in five minutes. And without questions from the pope, especially if the agenda material had not been sent to him some days in advance. However it was done, it's done. If the Sisters are still in Rome, maybe Pope Francis will invite them to Mass at the Domus Sanctae Marthae, and to breakfast afterwards.Kindest wishes,John
The LCWR was instituted in 1956 to facilitate communication between the institutional Church and American women religious.I find it hard to believe that if the LCWR packs up and goes home, and sisters still continue to gather under that acronym or another, bishops will be able to do anything about it. I would also be surprised if Archbishop Sartain, Archbishop Muller, or Pope Francis came knocking at the door, any of them would be turned away.I'm satisfied with the sisters taking time for an honest discernment, then doing what they have to do. In that sense, I really don't care what people outside of women religious orders do, say, or think.
I think a lot of people are expecting too much too soon from Pope Francis. As for me, his start has been encouraging. If there is more style than substance at this stage, that is only to be expected. It was widely known that he is a doctrinal conservative. But it is his pastoral approach and eschewing of ostentation and the trappings of the office that a strike a happy note for us in the third world. Also, abortion, gay marriage and contraception may be hot button issues in the western world, but they hardly come up in our part of the world and people here would not judge the Pope by his stance on these issues.
I agree with John Hayes' supposition. I would add that this investigation, or whatever it is, is still moving forward with whatever momentum it achieved during the previous pontificate - it is sailing along via bureaucratic inertia. Also, most of the players who propelled it forward and whose roles were determined during the previous pontificate are still in place. We need to give Francis some time to get his own people in place, and give them time to establish their priorities and methods, before we can judge how his pontificate will handle this.But ... regardless of who is pope, if the rift between American religious women and church authorities is real, it needs to be addressed. Certainly, there is more than one way to address it.
Sorry, one more thought. While it is very early to judge these things, Francis does not strike me as the kind of guy who is going to wield the hammer on dissidents. He is an elderly man, and he may not be with us long. The next guy in Peter's chair may be more inclined to mete out discipline. But for now, we may have an interregnum period to establish some dialogue between American religious sisters and Roman church authorities. Let us hope that both sides seize the opportunity, as it may not come around again.
I would like to comment more broadly on Eduardo's "style/substance" categories. I think it is very poor framework. It would seem that Jesus in the Gospels did some of his most substantive work through the Linda of actions that Eduardo seems to characterize as "style" when done by Francis. Perhaps what you really mean to be saying is you are looking for signs that the institutions of the Vatican are changing consistent with the public words and actions of Francis and that in the case in question you don't see it. But I hope that these narrow, limiting categories that seem to set style up against substance don't catch on at Commonweal as I think it downplays the extraordinary impact of "style", or as the gospels sometimes put it, "signs", to reorient individuals and institutions.
Greg -- I think you make a very good point. I guess I was trying to get at the question whether the distinctive way in which Francis carries out his duties as pope -- which I agree is important and inspiring -- portend deeper institutional or perhaps even doctrinal changes. I agree that the two categories I used are not wholly separable. This cuts both ways, of course, with some of the institutional issues necessarily coloring how we understand the shift in tone. In any event, the style/substance distinction is not my own. I borrowed it from some conservative commentary I've been reading. Here, for example, is Bishop Paprocki:"This hope for new life does not mean abandoning or altering the true faith in favor of some mutated form of Catholicism. Already there are people wondering if the election of Pope Francis will mean that somehow things will be different. The answer is: in style, yes, in substance, no. Pope Francis may prefer black shoes over red slippers, but that is simply a matter of style, not substance. No pope ever has or ever will change the substance of the faith. The Holy Spirit protects the church against that."
I am bemused to find people bending over backwards to think that not Francis but some naughty underlings who are misinforming him are to blame. Francis would certainly take seriously the CDF view that American nuns are failing to hold the line against gay marriage, which he famously described as "a machination of the Evil One to deceive the children of God". Why should we expect a Pope to be something different from what he says he is?
Mr. Penalver--Last year, the LCWR came together at their annual conference to sit at the feet of keynote Barbara Marx Hubbard, a New Age pagan who was speaking on "the evolutionary now." This strikes me as akin to an annual conference of academic biologists inviting Ken Ham (the creationist) as a keynote speaker.In your opinion, how should Pope Francis deal with such a Catholic organization in terms of 1) style and 2) substance?
I was able to find online the bishop's doctrinal assessment of the LCWR http://www.usccb.org/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&pageid=55544 ,but not the response from the LCWR addressing the charges. Is there such a response?

STEUBENVILLE - With week one under their belts, the new leaders of the Journeys of Service Helping Upper Appalachia hope the summer program that pairs volunteer groups with low-income homeowners to do needed repairs brings blessings to both sides.
Glen Fontenot, a native of Sugar Land, Texas, is the director of the outreach more commonly known as the J.O.S.H.U.A. program through Urban Mission Ministries, which had its local beginnings in 1990. Austin Jones of East Orange, N.J., is the assistant director.
In mid-May the two came on board with mission-minded hearts to organize and supervise the program that so far has nine volunteer groups coming to the area from Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania now through the middle of August.

MAKING PLANS — The Journeys of Service Helping Upper Appalachia program through Urban Mission Ministries, has new leadership in Austin Jones, left, assistant director, and Glen Fontenot, director, who came on board in mid-May. The program helps low-income homeowners with improvement projects that are done by volunteer groups on mission outreaches. — Janice Kiaski
Church groups from the Ashland area and elsewhere are in town this week, with about 40 volunteers ready to tackle five projects, according to the program leaders.
"We're recruiting more," Fontenot said of the need for more volunteers - big groups or small - to help see through the 30 homeowner projects on this summer's agenda.
Groups or individuals interested can contact the mission at (740) 282-8010.
Fontenot is a new graduate of the Franciscan University of Steubenville with a degree in psychology and a position there as its head assistant rugby coach. He said he grew up in a family where service to others was a priority.
"We always served those in need, and where I get all my construction background was from Habitat for Humanity. I did that back in Texas and was on the board for my local affiliate in Fort Bend County, Texas," he said. "I really got to meet some amazing people that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet."
Habitat for Humanity fostered in him a love to help others, according to Fontenot, who said he grew up "a naive little kid" in a wealthier neighborhood, not exposed to poverty or people struggling.
Fontenot was touched by the love shown by the people that program helped. "No matter how hard of a time they're having, they always say thank you. They're just amazing people."
He initially connected with Urban Mission on a spring break mission trip and ultimately interviewed for the job, grateful, he said, for the chance to serve those he said deserve to be served.
"I am excited to see how it goes the rest of the summer," he said.
Jones said this is his first time to do mission work on this scale, but he was drawn to it and ironically had two acquaintances independently encourage him to apply, thinking he was well suited for the duties.
One of them was Dan Wilson, AMVETS Post 275 commander, according to Jones, who has local ties. His father, Nathan Jones of New Jersey, is from the area, and Jones spent summers and holidays here visiting his grandmother.
Jones is a 10-year Army veteran, seven years' active duty with two tours in Iraq, a tour in Korea and one in Germany. He spent three years in the reserves.
"I did 10 years in the Army and have been to Third World countries and seen the epitome of poverty," Jones said. Being familiar with the area and people here, Jones said helping others and giving back are priorities to him.
"Being able to help people and see the smile on their face are my priorities," Jones said. "There are a lot of people less fortunate than I am, and it's humbling, the whole experience is very humbling and that's what makes me want to do something like this, and I'm just happy to be here, happy to have the opportunity," Jones said.
"I read the job description, and I was interested in it, and it is something that I felt that it wasn't going to be me just working, it was going to be a learning experience as well, so I think that's what kind of drew me to it," he said.
Jones said he's grateful for the chance to help.
"Just take a minute to think about the things that you have and then realize that if you count all the small things, it adds up into the big picture," Jones said. "Most people are like, oh, I don't have this, I don't have that. There is someone out there always less fortunate. Being able to realize what you do have is key to life," Jones said.
"I wake up every morning and I am thankful - I've got my hands, my legs," he said, noting he served as a fueler in the Army in harm's way.
"I am thankful I made it back home safe without a scratch."

I think I already know the answer to this question, but I'm hoping I am wrong.
My background is in SQL, specifically T-SQL alongisde SSMS. I rely pretty heavily on agent jobs for periodic tasks. My question is: Is there any similar concept of an 'agent' or scheduled task in Share Point?
Specifically, I would like an email escalation period. ie, after a week of an item sitting waiting to be approved, can we have sharepoint notify someone about it? I dont think so, but I am hoping to be proved wrong.

When I'm trying to run a map on geomajas an error has occurred:
o.g.internal.service.GeoServiceImpl - Problem during transformation EPSG:4326->EPSG:900913 of MULTIPOLYGON
The multipolygon coordinates are x = -170 and y = -85.0511... .
When I'm trying to run a map on geomajas an error has occurred:
The multipolygon coordinates are x = -170 and y = -85.0511... .
Your problem is with the bounds of EPSG:3857, the "WGS84 Pseudo-Mercator" projection. It has latitude limits of +/- 85 degrees. So your point of -85.05... is outside the bounds, and is undefined/untransformable. You'll need to use a projection that covers greater latitudes, and the choice of that will be very much based on the extents of your data, the levels of accuracy which you're willing to accept, whether there is going to be other layers from other projections, and so on.
In Geomajas, you can define the transformable area for pairs of projections. See http://files.geomajas.org/maven/trunk/geomajas/docbook-devuserguide/html/master.html#ch-crs When a transformable area is defined, geometries are clipped to fall inside this area. This should solve the transformation problem for you.
In any case, you should post the full stack trace of the exception (maybe on something like pastebin and linking that here). This can give useful hints for solving the problem.

For any compact abelian group $K$.$$K\cong H_0\times \mathrm{U}(1)^k,$$where $H_0$ is a finite group.
closed as off topic by Henry Cohn, Emil Jeřábek, Stefan Geschke, Felipe Voloch, Todd Trimble♦ Oct 9 '12 at 15:53
Questions on MathOverflow are expected to relate to research level mathematics within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Any topological group of the form $K\cong H_0\times U(1)^k$ (with $H_0$ finite and $k$ a positive integer) is a closed subgroup of $U(1)^h$ (for some positive integer $h\geq k$). Furthermore, all the closed subgroups of $U(1)^h$ are of this form.
The proof is an easy application of the Pontryagin-Van Kampen duality. In fact, such groups are the duals of the finitely generated Abelian groups (which are quotients of $\mathbb Z^h$). It is well known that such groups are of the form $F\times \mathbb Z^k$ (with $F$ a finite group).
To find a general form for a compact abelian group is as difficult as giving a structure theorem for discrete abelian group (which is known to be quite a difficult, and fairly open, problem in general, even if there are nice results for countable torsion groups).
EDIT: just to answer also to the comment of Stefan Geschke. Finitely generated groups in $\mathrm{Mod}(\mathbb Z)$ can be characterized as the Noetherian objects of the category. So I guess that (by duality) the objects of the form $K\cong H_0\times U(1)^k$ should be the Artinian objects in the category of compact abelian topological ($T_2$) groups. (N.B.= here by Artinian I mean the category-theoretical notion)

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

STEUBENVILLE - Area residents turned out in droves Thursday for Trinity Health System's Heartland 2013 event at the Fort Steuben Mall.
"Over a thousand have gone through already today," Trinity spokesman Keith Murdoch said. "And we still have what, six hours left? This is the biggest turnout we've ever had to this point in the day."
Now in its 20th year, the day-long health initiative is billed as the largest heart risk appraisal under one roof, screening participants for more than 30 conditions, including thyroid function, kidney function and cholesterol, with a single blood draw and for a nominal $35 fee.

Marcia Johnson, a phlebotemist with Trinity Health System, took a blood sample Thursday from an area resident during Heartland 2013 at the Fort Steuben Mall. More than 1,000 people took part in the event, designed to screen residents for 35 health conditions at a nominal cost. -- Linda Harris
An HBA1c screening, which can alert to the development of a future diabetic condition, also was available for an additional $15.
Murdoch said they typically process around 1,500 people, "and we're looking to do more than that today."
"Plus there's a lot of free screenings and we give out a lot of information," he added.
Co-sponsors included the Prime Time Office on Aging, the Herald-Star, The Weirton Daily Times, WTOV-TV, Lamer Advertising and WCDK-FM.
Murdoch said Heartland is a chance for area residents to find out about potential health concerns before they escalate.
"We're just really glad this many people have been out so far," Murdoch said.
"It makes it worthwhile when so many people come up and thank you for doing this for them."
Over the years, more than 26,000 area residents have participated in the event.

PARKERSBURG - Business and county officials on both sides of the Ohio River said a cracker plant in Wood County would be a major boost in struggling economic times.
Odebrecht, a Brazilian petrochemicals company, and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced Thursday afternoon an option to purchase the SABIC plant and land in Washington Bottom.
Officials cautioned there remains many hoops to jump through before the project comes to fruition.
Wood County Assessor Rich Shaffer said such a business would be a "real boon" for Wood County.
"There would be increases on real estate I'm sure, based on additional jobs in the area, people moving into the area to build this plant and operate the plant," he said.
In terms of tax revenue, Shaffer said he has no idea what the impact might be at this point.
"It's a multi-billion dollar plant, which would probably be exempt from taxation, at least for a period of time if an economic stimulus benefit is offered. It would probably be owned by the development authority, which would mean it would be tax-exempt. But we would see a benefit from the construction and operator jobs. There would be a big turnaround in employment rates. We will also see a large increase on values on property," Shaffer said.
Wood County Commissioner Blair Couch called the governor's announcement Thursday "a game changer."
"The number of people that will be employed is significant during the construction phase we've been told in the past, if we would be so lucky as to get it," Couch said.
"We are really excited about this opportunity. After the press conference and governor's statements, this is certainly a long-range project and hasn't reached a point where earth will be turned, but I'm confident it will make progress, and the county commission stands ready, willing and able to make this project a reality.
"Anything we can do, our ultimate goal is to attract new business, integrate them into the community and make them feel at home."
County Commission President Wayne Dunn said the location of a cracker plant in Wood County would mean a "lot of positives," but could also present a "double-edged sword."
"We would gain a lot, there will be a lot of great spinoffs, and if the revenue is generated to make the community better, that would be a plus," Dunn said. "This presents an opportunity."
"I feel we would benefit greatly," County Commissioner Steve Gainer said of the potential for the plant.
Washington County (Ohio) Commission President David White said he had earlier heard of the potential for the land purchase for the proposed cracker plant.
"Of course we are excited about it. It means economic development for the whole Mid-Ohio Valley area. It's wonderful. We look forward to it. It's going to mean more jobs, a boost to the economy, more disposable income. The old cliche about a rising tide lifts all boats, holds true. We are very excited about it," White said.
The Chamber of Commerce of the Mid-Ohio Valley and Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce officials said the possible location of a cracker plant in the area would be a major economic shot in the arm.
"This is such a great opportunity for West Virginia, and especially the Mid-Ohio Valley. We were very excited to hear about this opportunity. I think this is a real game changer. Support for the business community, real estate market, restaurants, suppliers, the infrastructure, tax base, school system will all see benefits. Everyone will benefit," Jill Parsons, president/CEO of the Mid-Ohio Valley Chamber, said.
The Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce representatives said businesses across the river will also feel the impact of the development.
"I feel that this development is certainly good news for any potential business retention and expansion possible in our area, particularly involving the west end of our business corridor," Karen Waller, executive director for the Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce, said. "With the Corridor D artery directly connecting the site to our business district, medical complex and shops and restaurants, we believe we are poised to profit from this enterprise.
"Of course, the Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce is ready to assist businesses wishing to locate or expand in our area, with networking opportunities, start-up services, informational sessions and one-to-one assistance to anyone interested in joining the Belpre Area business community or reaching out to potential customers. We certainly believe there is a bright future for business in Belpre."
The potential impact of an ethane cracker for increased development of the Marcellus Shale natural gas and for the downstream businesses is incalculably positive, said Chris Hamilton, chairman of the West Virginia Business and Industry Council.
"When you add the announcement earlier this week of the $20 million expansion of the Sogefi Group's Wayne County plant, this has been a banner week for West Virginia," he said.

Comments about iRobot Virtual Wall® 2-pack:
I already have a scheduler, and was very disappointed when I found that these cannot be used with it. It has to be turned on by hand each and every time. Later, I saw the extra ones for the scheduler at the same price as these. Let people know this when they buy them! They have to be in an easy access place to turn them on and off.

quote: That leaves a single count of wire fraud against each man. The wire fraud charges (18 U.S.C. § 1343) are built on the premise that the defendants used phone conversations to plan to defraud the plaintiffs (the casinos), a federal offense. Of course, given that the feds couldn't even make the accusation that they "hacked" (a form of fraud) stick, the fraud-based claim seems pretty questionable.

I've just started using actionscript 3 and I am currently trying to make a scrolling runner game in Flash CS5, similar to the Flood Runner games from Tremor games. The difference is, however, that my game is not an endless runner game and the character has a destination that she must reach before time runs out. Alot of the tutorials I've read on the subject use the player character's x and y positions to scroll, but in my game the background scrolls independent of the character. The tutorials I've read about this do not address my problems specifically.
TL;DR: I do not want to loop my background but have a series of multiple background images.
I am trying to figure out the best way to patch together multiple background images seamlessly. Currently, I have one background movie clip object at the maximum pixel width. The background object scrolls to the left independently of the position of the player character, who can only jump.
What I am thinking about doing is this:
Every time a point at the far right edge of one background image reaches the far right stage boundary, I have my actionscript call an addChild command for the next background object and instantiate it at the far right stage boundary. It will scroll at the same speed as the preceding background object.
I also need to figure out how to remove the background objects once they have completely exited the stage for memory purposes.
So, what would be the best way to tackle this?

Fear remains one of the best motivators in life.
On Dec. 11, fear produced one of the most fundamentally sound basketball games the Chatfield boys program has produced in arguably a decade.
Fresh off an upset loss to Palmer, the Chargers unleashed darn near every ounce of talent and teamwork in their bodies as they throttled second-ranked Arapahoe 66-44 in a Class 5A nonleague victory.
The Dakota Ridge Eagles just couldn't keep from flying back to its coup.
Unfortunately for the Eagles, their nest happened to reside in the penalty box, and their opponent was more than appreciative of the odd-man advantage.
Aspen scored four goals, all on the power-play, to top Dakota Ridge 4-0 on Dec. 12 at the Edge Ice Arena.
When the Eagles managed to keep all of their skaters on the ice, they were able to hang with Aspen and nearly took a 1-0 lead in the first period when Jason Refka's wrister from the slot banged off the left post.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is launching a new iPhone application to help people make smart choices about designating a sober driver. Increased "Heat Is On" DUI enforcement began over the Thanksgiving weekend and will continue at various times through New Year's.
Another season, another scandal. This time, a minor car accident in Florida gave rise to a story that culminated in Tiger Woods issuing a public statement confessing to "transgressions."
In what appears to be a semi-annual ritual, the press is having a field day with the foibles of another celebrity. Talk shows talk. Experts offer opinions. Eyebrows are raised. Heads move gravely from side to side.
Are we the better for it?
The Jeffco Action Center has received a $40,000 Daniels Fund grant to support its programs.
Ricky Lee Harnish, 54, received the maximum sentence of 24 years in prison for the 1976 rape and murder of South Jeffco resident Holly Marie Andrews, under the terms of a plea agreement.
The sentencing was handed out Monday in a Georgetown court in front of members of Andrews' family.
Clear Creek County Sheriff Don Krueger said he felt relieved the case was finally over after so many years. He added that Harnish had been in county custody for more than a year.
In an effort to understand the Jefferson County Public Schools budget crisis, I believe I may have stumbled onto a solution. Most of the district-promoted suggestions for reducing the budget include relatively minor concessions by the district administration, partial to wholesale elimination of assistant principals and librarians, partial elimination of counselors, support staff, school secretaries, paraprofessionals, clinic aides, and of course, teachers.
Tony Pena may have changed schools and classifications, but his attitude and confidence have remained in tact.
Pena, wrestling up at 130 pounds on Dec. 10, threw Columbine's Ben Rhodes around – literally, including one takedown that sent Rhodes down hard onto the exposed hardwood – for close to two periods before scoring a pinfall at the 3-minute, 59-second mark in Chatfield's 53-24 victory at Chatfield Senior High School.
Longtime county critic Mike Zinna won his First Amendment lawsuit Dec. 9 against former county commissioner Jim Congrove when jurors awarded him $1,791 — a number corresponding with the year the Bill of Rights was ratified.
The former talk-radio host and gadfly blogger alleged Congrove and others violated his First Amendment rights by taking steps to prevent him from speaking at public hearings and to halt his investigations into county government.
County Administrator Jim Moore testified in a federal lawsuit last week that, in 2005, the Jeffco commissioners actively tried to silence longtime county critic Mike Zinna.
"They were very displeased. They wanted him to stop," Moore said, referring to the former commission's reaction to stories posted on Zinna's websites. "They generally talked about ways to shut him up, shut him down. … There was discussion about evicting him from the airport."

Our program provides language instruction from elementary through advanced, along with a course on Vietnamese culture and literature in translation.
Beginning classes (VIET 110/510) welcome students who have no prior knowledge or experience of Vietnamese. An Accelerated entry-level class (VIET 132/532) is available for those heritage students who have some familiarity with spoken Vietnamese, and wish to advance their skills in reading, writing and verbal competence.
Vietnamese is a member of the family of languages known as Austro-Asiatic, whose origins date back some 3000-4000 years. Vietnamese vocabulary retains elements from Chinese, and its written form at one time used a modified set of Chinese characters called chữ nôm. As a byproduct of six decades of French colonial rule, Vietnamese was also influenced by French. The Vietnamese alphabet in use today (quốc ngữ) is a Latin (Roman) alphabet with diacritics to indicate tones.
For those students who would like to learn more about Vietnam and the region, the Yale Vietnamese Studies Group (YVSG) coordinates a forum for research and cultural studies in and about Vietnam, and works with the Council on Southeast Asia Studies to host guest speakers, artists and film screenings throughout the year.
Experiencing Vietnam's language, culture and history can also be done through various Study Abroad programs sponsored by Yale and other institutions. Students at Yale can apply for summer fellowships to support study or research projects in Vietnam.

If yes, is there some functional equation verified which makes it possible to calculate $L(0,x)$?
If yes, what about the modulus of continuity of $x\mapsto L(0,x)$? ($L(\frac{3}{2},x)$ seems to be a nice case.)

So my qestion is, how do I work all these things out enough to be believable? Wuld it be a new form of antimatter, since it came from a highly evolved human? How would the mutants themselves be able to control it? ~Angela

The mission of the office of Institutional Research, Planning, and Analysis is to provide relevant institutional reporting and analysis of all aspects of the University to support decision-making, planning, assessment, and review of institutional performance.
Institutional Research, Planning, and Analysis (IRPA) serves as the official reporting entity for the University to both internal and external audiences. The office is responsible for preparing official university statistics and completing mandated reporting to government agencies and accrediting bodies. The IRPA team provides reporting services to the University community such as analyzing trends, conducting peer comparisons, providing data for program review, compiling data for grant proposals, and completing ad hoc data requests.
The office maintains data repositories to support reporting and information needs of the University. The staff provide consultation in identifying ways to capture data within the University information system (Banner) to meet information needs. The office authors annual publications such as the DSU Fact Book and Retention Update.
Reporting Services
In May 2011, the IRPA team began a pilot to implement a business intelligence solution to help meet university information needs. This project is a collaborative effort with IRPA and the Information Technology Division. In December 2011, the Institutional Research, Planning, and Analysis Portal was launched.
The IRPA Portal is a gateway to university reporting resources that includes operational reports, trend reports, and tracking dashboards as phase one deliverables of the pilot. Phase two and beyond will include the development of dashboards for key performance indicators, specialized dashboards for strategic areas of importance, and performance based-budgeting metrics.
Access to this proprietary university resource is available presently to members of a pilot group which includes close to 20 university employees. The IRPA Portal is accessible from any university desktop with a web browser. Areas interested in becoming part of the pilot may contact the IRPA staff.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Antibiotics for Sinusitis
Antibiotics can be taken orally or intravenously (IV).
How It Works
Antibiotics kill or prevent the growth of bacteria that cause some sinus infections.
Acute sinusitis
When using antibiotics to treat acute sinusitis, it may be helpful to remember that:
- The number of days you take antibiotics depends on your general health, how serious your sinusitis is, and the type of antibiotic you are taking.
- A different antibiotic may be needed if your condition does not begin to improve within 3 to 5 days.
- Other medicines, such as decongestants, inhaled corticosteroids, and medicines that help thin the mucus (mucolytics), may be prescribed as well to improve sinus drainage.
Chronic sinusitis
When using antibiotics to treat chronic (long-term) sinusitis, it may be helpful to remember that:
- The number of days you take antibiotics depends on your general health, how serious your sinusitis is, and the type of antibiotic you are taking.
- The choice of antibiotic often depends on which antibiotics have worked well for you in the past. If an antibiotic normally used to treat your sinusitis was successful in the past, it may be used again. If it did not work very well, a different antibiotic may be tried.
- Other medicines, such as decongestants, inhaled corticosteroids, and medicines that help thin the mucus (mucolytics), may be prescribed as well to improve sinus drainage.
Why It Is Used
Antibiotics may be needed when symptoms of sinusitis do not respond to home treatment, symptoms are severe, or complications (such as pus forming in sinus cavities) develop.
- Amoxicillin is often the first choice in treating sinusitis because it is usually effective and has few side effects. It should not be used if you are allergic to amoxicillin or have been diagnosed with mononucleosis.
- Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole may be prescribed for people who are allergic to amoxicillin.
Other antibiotics may be prescribed to treat bacterial infections that are resistant to amoxicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
How Well It Works
Antibiotic treatment of sinusitis is generally safe and very effective. Most people recover completely when they are treated with antibiotics.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
It is important to take all of the medicine your doctor prescribes. Keep taking it even after you begin to feel better. This is especially important when treating sinusitis because the antibiotics do not easily penetrate the mucus inside the sinuses.
Your doctor will try to select an antibiotic that is most likely to kill the bacteria causing your sinusitis. If the antibiotic fails to cure your sinusitis, another may be tried. If your condition does not improve, further testing may be needed to find which antibiotic will work best for you.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

JOE GRECO JR. SIGHS when asked about the state of the concrete industry. The president of Greco Bros. Ready Mix Concrete in Ozone Park, N.Y., chuckles and says in a thick New York accent, "Oh boy, oh boy. I don't know where it's headed," his friendly timbre showing only a trace of distress.
The residential sector has been the focus of the Greco Brothers' business since the family-owned company started in 1958, but the past year has forced the Grecos to concentrate elsewhere. As the housing market collapsed, the banks stopped investing money in new residential construction. Greco Bros.' primary source of revenue, residential high rises in New York City, all but disappeared.
"The commercial and residential business has slowed tremendously, but the government work has picked up," Greco says.
That has helped his company avoid layoffs, an issue every producer in the nation is wrestling with. "I've stopped capital expenditures," he says. "I'm trying not to lay anyone off."
Last year was not actually a down year for Greco Bros. Growth slowed considerably, but it wasn't until the first half of 2009 that the company, and the industry as a whole, began to feel the full force of the housing collapse and the big banks' retreat back into their safes.
It's no secret: The TCP100, the concrete industry's most complete listing of the top 100 North American producers (page 30) shows 2008 was an awful year for producers and the U.S. construction industry. According to many producers and analysts, this year and the first half of 2010 will be even worse before the recovery.
Housing, commercial ills
Many believe the sun will shine again by next summer, so don't expect to see an immediate recovery. With commercial projects in a tailspin, and U.S. housing turning from a seller's market to a fleer's market, more tough times and tough choices are coming for producers.
Jim Braselton, senior vice president of marketing and sales for cement at Lafarge North America, doesn't see a turnaround until the second half of 2010. And economist Armine Thompson believes that while the housing market will hit bottom this year, don't expect a protracted recovery until 2011. Thompson analyzes concrete pricing for IHS Global Insight, a multinational economic forecasting firm.
Thompson doesn't expect housing starts to hit 1 million until 2011. Global Insight predicts housing starts will total 560,000 this year, and 870,000 in 2010. Usually, 1 million starts is the threshold of a healthy or struggling housing market.
Also, the record number of U.S. home foreclosures in 2009 means that even as home buying recovers, a glut of foreclosed homes on the market will thwart new home construction even further. An added wrinkle: Unemployment approaching and possibly surpassing 10% will cause still more homeowners to foreclose on their homes in the next several months, adding more inventory to the market.

These scales are great! What is unique is... Review by DC
These scales are great! What is unique is that this unit has several colored markers that allow you to use the markers for things like weight loss, goals, original weight, or morning/evening weight changes. This is a quality product. At a retail store you would get a piece of junk for this price. This is doctor's office quality that looks pro and works well. (Posted on 3/28/2012)

A good scale. Easy to read. Works better than the "digital" i have owned where you constantly get "E" messages. Foot space is about average or a little better. Dial markers are useful. consistant. No problems, about 4 months now.
Dm (Posted on 8/11/2010)
This dial works fine, but I had one issue.... Review by JAK
This dial works fine, but I had one issue. The description says "raised dial" and that the raised dial gives you "more footspace". Neither of this is really true. It is not a raised dial in the sense that you can slip your feet under the dial. (This is actually hard to see in the picture that that is not the case). You cannot slip your feet under the dial. By "raised dial" they merely mean the chrome bezel juts above the black rubbery platform where you put your feet. Secondly, nor is there any extra room for your feet. You will be standing like a duck on this because there is no where for the top of your feet, your toes, to go. So be advised. Other than that, the scale itself works fine and the little sliding plastic markers are useful (and are a relatively rare feature on bathroom scales). (Posted on 7/20/2009)
Great scale, once I figured out how to zero... Review by E.H.
Great scale, once I figured out how to zero it. The instructions say to "set the scale needle to zero bu adjusting the dial located in the front" but in actuality the adjustment is a little wheel located underneath. (Posted on 6/14/2008)

�The Bandit� has made a habit recently of stealing victories from the jaws of defeat.
Perhaps none was bigger than Saturday�s theft of a victory at Colorado Mesa, a place the Fort Lewis College men�s basketball team hadn�t won in six years.
Marcus Ayala, labeled �The Bandit� by FLC radio announcer Ken Flint, scored 19 of his 22 points in the second half and tallied eight consecutive points for the Skyhawks during a stretch in the final 3 minutes, 18 seconds of the game to give FLC breathing room to hold off the Mavericks 69-59.
The win helped the No. 17 Skyhawks end a brief losing streak that saw them drop from fourth to seventh in the South Central Region rankings and kept Colorado Mesa from creeping up to displace them in that same poll.
�Seeing the seniors, Torrey (Udall) and Matthias (Weissl), not having a win there in five years and giving me a big hug after that, was something I enjoyed very much,� Ayala said.
The Skyhawks (19-6) have made a habit of pulling out close games more often than not this year, and as of late, Ayala has been one of the biggest catalysts.
It started Jan. 26 in a win over Colorado Mines, tonight�s opponent in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Shootout quarterfinals at Whalen Gymnasium. Ayala drove the length of the floor, faked to Nick Tomsick � a clutch performer in his own right � then drew a defender and dished to Alex Herrera for a buzzer-beating dunk in a 71-69 victory.
Then, in a Feb. 22 upset of then-No. 1 and unbeaten Metro State, Ayala scored 17 of his 25 points after halftime and paired with Mike Matthews to make several key layups down the stretch to hold off the Roadrunners.
And then came the effort against Colorado Mesa.
While that�s a pretty nice run, FLC head coach Bob Hofman said his senior guard has been clutch late all season long.
�Marcus has been sensational down the stretch in most of our wins,� Hofman said. �He�s a fearless player.�
Ayala as a closer is another in a line of players filling key roles for a FLC team with NCAA Tournament aspirations and RMAC Shootout title dreams. The biggest key for the Avondale, Ariz., native is the trust his teammates have in him to make the right play with the game on the line. It could be critical this week, as the Skyhawks seek the tournament crown and an automatic NCAA Tournament berth.
�I feel like my teammates have trust in me to go to me at certain points � especially when I�m on a roll or made a basket or two, I feel they look for me more,� Ayala said.
Hofman credited Ayala�s competitive drive for his success late in games and overall this season, a year in which the senior is averaging 13.2 points per game. But the FLC head coach also was quick to point out the Skyhawks have as much confidence in each individual player on the floor as they do in Ayala, another reason they�ve been successful this season.
�I think everybody has confidence in each other. ... I think for our team it�s just important that everybody play Fort Lewis basketball,� Hofman said.

The problem is the following
Given $v_1, \, v_2, \, \ldots, \, v_n \in \mathbb R^m$; find $\epsilon_1, \, \epsilon_2, \, \ldots, \, \epsilon_n \in \{0,1\}$ such that $$\left\vert \sum_{i=1}^n (-1)^{\epsilon_i} v_i \right\vert = \max$$ where $\vert \cdot\vert $ denotes the Euclidean norm.
I.e. we want to maximize the length of a sum of vectors, under the restriction that for every vector we must use either the vector itself or $(-1)$ times this vector.
This came from some application and I was asked whether I knew how to obtain a solution some time ago. I didn't see an efficient algorithm and since the number of vectors typically was sufficiently small, it could be solved by simply going through all possibilities.
I thought about it again, today. And the problem really looks like there might be a nice efficient algorithm to solve it - at least better than $\Theta(2^n)$.
Still not being able to find one, I wanted to ask whether someone here could figure out a neat solution!
Something that doesn't work:
- Order the vectors by length: $|v_1|\ge |v_2|\ge \dots \ge |v_n|$
- Having found a maximal vector-combination $v = \sum \pm v_i$ from $v_1, \, v_2, \, \ldots, \, v_k$, choose the sign of $v_{k+1}$ so that it maximizes the length of $v \pm v_{k+1}$.
A counterexample is given by $\begin{pmatrix} 3\\ 2\end{pmatrix},\, \begin{pmatrix} -2\\ 3\end{pmatrix},\, \begin{pmatrix} 2\\ 3\end{pmatrix}$. Combining the first two vectors we get $$\begin{pmatrix} 1\\ 5\end{pmatrix} \quad \text{or}\quad \begin{pmatrix} 5\\ -1\end{pmatrix}$$ both of which have the same length. However, if we choose the first combination we can get $\begin{pmatrix} 3\\ 8\end{pmatrix}$ whereas for the second combination $\begin{pmatrix} 7\\ 2\end{pmatrix}$ is the best we can do.
Feel free to share your thoughts! Thanks. =)

Mass Effect Trilogy: Playstation 3: Video Games for $39.99 + free shipping
7 Comments add a comment
Does this come with any of the DLC for 2 or 3? I know the initial ME2 PS3 release had an extra level, is that the same case?
@thedogma: I had a hard time finding solid info on the details, but a couple of the reviews on Amazon say that there's at least one DLC for ME1, a few for ME2 (but not all of them), and hard to tell with ME3 but possibly none.
This is the info I was able track down from Amazon:
Q. Does the PS3 version come with some DLC?
A. Yes (with the keyword being "some")! The original Mass Effect comes with the "Bring Down the Sky" DLC. Also, Mass Effect 2 (on the PS3 version of this trilogy) will have "Cerberus Network," "Overlord," "Lair of the Shadow Broker," and "Kasumi." Mass Effect 3 however (as it appears on this Trilogy version) does not come with any DLC included.
Q. Do all the DLCs come on the discs or do you still have to download them all on PSN?
A. Out-of-the-box the Trilogy comes with a slip that has some codes on it. These codes are for the online pass for Mass Effect 3 & the Cerberus Network pass for Mass Effect 2. Lair of the Shadow Broker, Project Overlord, & Kasumi's Stolen Memories are on the Mass Effect 2 disc.
(edited to fit under 1000 characters)
Best Buy has the trilogy available for pickup at select stores for both PS3 and XBox 360 for the same price:
360 version:
PS3 version:
I envy anyone who is about to play these games for the first time. You're in for an incredible journey. ME2 is one of the best games I've ever played.
Looks like the Amazon deal is no longer available?
However Best Buy is still offering the deal at the same price.
360 version:
PS3 version:
Now its $59+

The aftermath: Reminders of daughter's death still weigh heavily 2 years later
Mother calls for victims' rights as she waits on judicial process
Ben Brewer, Deseret News
LEEDS, Washington County — For the longest time, Ellen Hensley dreaded 11:15 a.m. on Saturdays. It was at that exact time two years ago tomorrow when a St. George police officer came to her door.
"I immediately knew this was bad, so much I couldn't even unlock the door I was shaking so bad. I knew something was terribly wrong. His first words to me were, 'Your daughter Jerrica was murdered last night.' And my world stopped. It ended.
"You know the movie 'Alice in Wonderland,' where she falls down the hole? That's what I felt like. I had nothing to grab onto. I was just falling and had no idea where I'd land," Hensley said.
"Fifteen after 11 is embedded in my brain. Every Saturday since then, 15 minutes after 11 in the morning I look at my watch and think about (the officer's) words. I used to love Saturdays, and for the very longest time I absolutely dreaded going to bed Friday nights because I had so much fear of Saturday — re-living it again."
Saturdays aren't the only residual casualties of her daughter's death. Hensley has a couple of Christmas decorations put up around her house, but not because she is feeling the Christmas spirit.
"I wanted to pretend to be Christmasty," she conceded.
In reality, the holiday season today brings more pain than joy to Hensley because it, too, re-opens wounds that have yet to be given time to heal.
"It's just not the season for me. Somebody is missing and that just isn't right. And it was Jerrica's favorite holiday," Hensley said. "She made Christmas in our house. With her gone it's just hard to feel it. And it's hard to get people to understand we're not being 'Bah humbug.' It's just a hard time of year for me."
Slow process
Jerrica Christensen, 20, and Brandie Sue Dawn Jerden, 27, were both killed about 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 11, 2010, inside a Main Street apartment in St. George. James Fiske, 28, was shot during the same incident but survived. Less than an hour afterward, police had one man in custody and a second was arrested less than 24 hours later.
Paul Ashton, 33, and Brandon Smith, 31, were each charged with aggravated murder and aggravated assault. Ashton is accused of shooting Jerden and also shooting Fiske. Smith is accused of killing Christensen. She died as a "result of incised wounds," but investigators have not indicated what type of weapon was used.
Despite the quick arrests, the court process has been slow. Neither man has even had a preliminary hearing yet. This as the two-year anniversary of the girls' deaths comes up on Tuesday. Twice a preliminary hearing has been set, and twice it has been postponed. A third date for the hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 19.
"It's frustrating. It's very frustrating. We're anchored to the past. ... How do you move forward when you're constantly pulled backwards? You can't," said Hensley. "The frustrating thing is we don't have rights. That's the hard part. My daughter lost her rights that night.
"When that man did what he did to her, which is still very tender to us — he brutally murdered her in cold blood for no reason other than the fact she could have testified. It's hard to go to court and listen to them defend his rights and I sit there and think, 'What about my rights?'"
Now, Hensley hopes that she, her daughter and the other victims won't be forgotten as they try and patiently wait for the legal process to move forward.
Dec. 11, 2010
On the night Christensen was killed, she was supposed to stay home and help her mother bake Christmas cookies. Instead, she went to be with her boyfriend — something Hensley was angry about. Before she died, Christensen and her mother texted each other and made up. She told her mom about a restaurant they needed to try. She then told her mother to pick her up in the morning.

Husband Abuses Child
Q: My husband leaves marks on my kid. What should I do?
A: No child should be beaten at all, but a child who's being hit hard enough to bear marks on his body suffers from physical abuse.
I strongly suggest that you and your husband see a therapist to discuss your husband's physical abuse of your child. If your husband doesn't want to go for professional help, maybe a family member or friend could persuade him. If not, you must seek help on your own for your child because he needs you to be his protector. That's the birthright of every child. You may need to consult your state's children's protective services for assistance. Do not let this situation continue any longer. Get your son the protection that he needs and get yourself the help you need to insure his safety and well-being.
