Start Your EnginesMichigan International Speedway isn't far from the home base of Roush Industries, Jack Roush's multifaceted company that develops nearly everything from performance cars to airplanes. The area is so much of a personal playground for Roush, he's doing the flyover for Saturday's Craftsman Truck Series race in his own P-51 fighter plane. Sunday, he likely will take in his usual Michigan race day -- watching Roush Fenway Fords run at the front. Ford dominates at Michigan like no place else in Sprint Cup, with seven wins in the past 12 events -- six of those wins by Roush Fords. Five Roush drivers have won there, Mark Martin and Kurt Busch earlier, plus current stablemates Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards. Edwards is the defending champion of Michigan's June race and the top Roush man in the standings, in fourth. "Michigan is a kind of bragging-rights track. It's in Roush's backyard," Edwards said. "It's a great track with some really awesome racing. You can pass, and I think the fans always see a good show there." The 2-mile oval has plenty of room to roam in length and width, making it about the last place a driver would say doesn't allow choices on where to run. "I think the thing that really sticks out is the width of the groove. There are a lot of options at Michigan," said Jeff Burton, second in points for Richard Childress Racing and one of Chevrolet's best weapons to try to end the Ford dominance. "You can run all the way down on the white line or run almost up by the wall. You don't have to follow somebody around. It's certainly not a one-groove track. It also makes it a challenge for the team because the car has to work in multiple grooves." Like Pocono, Michigan will host its two races within two months, making it a significant player in the race for the Chase. As things sit today, the Chase field has six Chevrolets, three Toyotas, two Fords and one Dodge. But Ford could improve its lot with a dozen races left before the Chase begins. Joe Gibbs Racing's Tony Stewart is on the bubble in 12th on the heels of consecutive finishes of 41st and 35th at Dover and Pocono, respectively. There are three cars looming within 34 points of Smoke's Toyota, including the Roush Fords of David Ragan (13th in points) and Kenseth (15th). Both have made moves up the standings in recent weeks, and having a home race at Michigan up next is just about perfect. "Michigan is not a super-difficult track to drive if you have a car handling the way it needs to handle, so we've just been able to get the cars to drive like I need them to drive to be able to run good at that track," said Kenseth, a two-time Michigan winner, most recently in June 2006. "We've always had good engines, good aerodynamics and good-handling cars there, and that is what you need. I'm sure this trip will be a little different with the new cars, but I'm sure we'll be able to figure it all out." The Roush boys usually do there.
Rocket ManKasey Kahne: Going into the two weeks at Lowe's Motor Speedway for the All-Star race and Coca-Cola 600, the No. 9 Dodge was mediocre. Five led laps in 11 races and no top-5s prompted Kahne to say, "To me, it's just [our] cars aren't where they need to be to go fast." Consequently, he needed a fan vote to get into the All-Star race. But he took the gift and won with it, then added the 600 win and yet another victory Sunday at the Pocono 500. Four weeks, three wins and a leap up the standings into ninth place and Chase contention. "You go to Gillett Evernham right now, and everybody is walking around there with a smile on their face, and that's not how it was a month and a half ago," Kahne said.

"Confession is the highest form of self-criticism." -Party official in "The Confession"
Costa-Gavras' first film since "Z" is, once again, a study of the way lies can be made to seem good as truth. All it takes to work this miracle is sufficient power! If you control not only a man's life but also his mind, you can get him to believe anything. In "Z," the power was Fascist and of the right. In "The Confession," we're shown fascism of the left in the form of the Communist Party show trials in Czechoslovakia in 1952.
The film is inspired almost entirely by fact, by the memoirs of Artur London, one of the 13 Czech Communist leaders who were indicted as traitors, Trotskyists, Titoists, Zionists or what have you, and one of the three who was not executed. It is not a thriller like "Z," and it couldn't be, because there is no justice to emerge at the end and no scoundrels to unmask. As nearly as seems possible, the totalitarian system itself kept the show trials running, and they persisted so well that the party officials who began them turned up as defendants, too.
No, it's not a thriller but a penetration into the mind, and Yves Montand is able to express the state of his character's mind perfectly by showing him, after nearly 20 months of torture and cross-examination, watching his captor eat a sausage as if it were not lunch but the Holy Grail. The movie itself is a wearing experience, as it was meant to be. We begin to wonder toward the end how even the inquisitors could stand up to the inhuman grind of cross-examination.
Costa-Gavras seems to be trying in his latest two films to take the facts themselves and mold them into a sort of fiction beyond truth. There is nothing he can tell us about the execution of 10 innocent Czech leaders that he hasn't shown us already with a shot of their ashes being dumped into a snow-covered road to help a car get traction. Images like this are beyond explaining. In the current New York Review of Books, Alfred Kazin considers Capote's "In Cold Blood" and Mailer's "Of a Fire on the Moon" in much the same way, as the reactions of story-tellers to stories that are too real to be reduced to fiction.
The style of "The Confession" reminds us of "Z," particularly in the quick cutting and the sure-footed use of flashbacks. The, structure becomes complex but never confusing, and Costa-Gavras always seems to be urgently on the move, wanting to tell us more than can be told.
His characters are always moving when a shot opens on them. His editor hurries ahead to the next image while the voice from the last finishes a sentence. The camera itself seems afraid that by staying too long on one image, it is missing others. And we feel ourselves buried in this mass of information, our rational minds somehow trying to make sense of a system where nothing is "true" but everything must be "correct."
There is a controversy in European Communist circles over "The Confession," I'm told. It's been banned in a lot of countries, including Russia and Czechoslovakia, and it has been embraced by anti-Communist movements as an indictment of communism. But Costa-Gavras has made a point of insisting that the movie is anti-Stalinist, not anti-Communist. For that matter, we had some show trials trying to get themselves under way in this country in 1952.
I suppose the conclusion you come to after seeing "The Confession" is that mankind has a terrifying ability to persecute and execute its members on the strength of an idea that may turn out, a few years later, to have been forgotten. Daniel Berrigan, S.J., sent an open letter to the Weathermen recently in which he said that no cause was worth the sacrifice of a single human life. That inspired a lot of head scratching in newspaper editorials, philosophy classrooms and elsewhere. But see "The Confession" and think about it.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Editorial Reviews
The Times Record"...the mehod in which Rockhill morphs the edges of the illustartions to transition the story from page to page is incredible, giving children much detail to ponder and parents a truly rich artistic experience . . .
AStoryWeaver's Book ReviewsKnown as a wordless picture book, the illustrator/author Dennis Rockhill perfectly describes a child's dream of living and playing in an underwater wonderland. The trancelike lyrical poem sets the imaginary mood to a tee. Ocean Whisper is written with an instruction page in the back to help first-time wordless picture book readers. This beautiful, inspirational, and fairy taleish book is intended for all ages and is highly recommended . . .
Jennifer LB Leese
The Childrens Shelf. . . an elaborate story told entirely through soft, gentle, deep-toned artwork of a young boy and his dreams of experiencing the ocean firsthand. A unique, vibrant, and almost purely visual experience of wonder that will surely appeal to and instill an appreciation of the sea's wonders within children of all ages, even the very young.
Kirkus ReviewsA young boy, his room decorated with a poster of whales hanging next to his small fish tank, prepares for sleep listening to a seashell, feeding his fish and staring meditatively into space. As he dreams, the fish leave the tank, the whales swim off his poster and he becomes a mer-boy, joining the underwater world for a night of freedom. Rockhill precedes his wordless picture book with a free-verse poem (in both English and Spanish) that sums up in a general fashion what follows. Rockhill's main illustrations are richly colored, detailed and well executed, but are also heightened in a way not unlike idealized scenes from greeting cards or Thomas Kinkade's paintings. Each is accompanied by three smaller pencil illustrations providing subplot information. Skillful but overly sentimental, the artwork will appeal to some and turn others away. (Picture book. 4-7)

'when i start to (break it all down)' is a curious choice as the first single as it's not really indicative of the rest of the album. it's a fine song, but lacks the propulsive energy found in the rest of the album. and that energy is exactly what makes 'tomorrow's world' really shine. it's infused with new-found vitality, rejuvenation, and sounds oddly relevant. bringing frankmusik in to produce was a nice stroke. he's coaxed out vince's yazoo days, musically speaking, of course, in embracing minor chords more than on past albums. (and andy's vocals, as always, are pristine - though there isn't too much here at the lower end of his register). tracks like 'i lose myself,' (it's easy to imagine alison moyet singing this one) 'be with us,' 'a whole lotta love run riot' and 'then i go twisting' are all dance floor stompers and primed for endless remixes (this is a good thing!). and aside from misguided auto-tune vocals on 'a whole lotta love run riot,' there's not really a misstep on the entire album. it feels as complete and whole as any erasure ever has. on a personal note, my favorite track is 'what will i say when you are gone.' beautiful.
it won't convert the naysayers, but for those of us who've been with vince andy the last twenty years, it's a terrific album. there's nothing immediately memorable and classic as, say, 'oh l'amour,' 'chains of love,' 'a little respect,' or 'always,' but as a whole it trumps, at least in my opinion, the last four or five albums and is right up there with 'the innocents,' 'i say' and 'the circus.'
hats off to you, gentlemen. many have copied, but the original keeps the crown.
This time, it's a slight detour (or a new phase?) into contemporary dance music, largely created by hotshot producer Frankmusik. He has taken the familiar synthetic bleeps of Clarke and added a new shimmer, making the record sound like much of today's other dance-pop music (including Andy's solo albums). Additionally, Andy's vocals are often processed with AutoTune, although no doubt more for effect than necessity. Vince's synths do chime in, but this time they are encased in Frankmusik's glistening wall of production.
This is no doubt a calculated move to keep Erasure sounding contemporary, and while it basically works as an entertaining album, one does miss the more traditional Erasure sound. The songs are strong overall, with the trailer single "When I Start to (Break it All Down") being the outstanding track.
It is good to see Erasure trying to stay fresh and current, rather than coast on their past, although one hopes they will not completely move away from their classic sound. In any case, new music from these pioneers of synthpop is always welcome.
I've been a fan of Erasure since the late 80s. I own every album (except Union Street), the boxsets, and all their newer singles. While I'd love to say I love TW, I can't...at least not in the way I love the majority of their previous work. In my ranking of their 14 full-length releases, TW is closer to the bottom than the top. Here's the list of their releases from my most to least favorite: Cowboy, Chorus, IS x3, Nightbird, The Innocents, The Circus, Wild!, Wonderland, Erasure, Light at the End of the World, Tomorrow's World, Other People's Songs, Loveboat, Union Street.
I give TW 3/5 stars, partly because it *is* Erasure and I'm thrilled that they're still making music after 26 years, and partly b/c most of the tracks are catchy, dancey, and good, even if not great. I can understand the band's choice to "modernize" their music with the production assistance of Frankmusik (and I think he does a good job with that task), but I don't listen to Erasure to hear slick production, processed vocals, and songs that sounds like much of what's out there today in the way of revitalized 80s-sounding synth-based club-ready music (although I do like that music, too). I listen to Erasure to hear their trademark, blippy, bleepy effects, and solid, melodic, and insanely catchy and unique synth arrangements. I feel that, with a few exceptions, most of those elements that I have enjoyed so much on past albums have been mainly lost on TW.
I have been known to put in one of their older CDs and listen to (lesser known) tracks repeatedly (e.g.Read more ›

One of the most anticipated seasons of The Ultimate Fighter kicked off Wednesday on Fox Sports 1 with Team Rousey vs. Team Tate. For the first time, women are featured on the reality series as coaches and contestants.
Thirty-two UFC female and male bantamweight hopefuls made it through the rigorous tryout and interview process to compete for a spot in The Ultimate Fighter house.
Duke made history by becoming the first female fighter to win a fight on The Ultimate Fighter by submitting Howarth in the first round via triangle choke, earning her place in the house.
Grant overcame a point deduction for illegal blows to finish Martinez by arm bar submission in the second round, securing his spot in the fighter house.
Rakoczy fended off several submission attempts on her way to a submission win over Berto. She transitioned from an arm bar to an oma plata and forced Berto to tap out.
It was an uneventful fight that left UFC president Dana White with nothing to say about it. Wooten won by decision to advance to the house but didn't impress. White's only comments on the match was that "it sucked."
Morgan took Marshall down, mounted her and unloaded shots from the top until the referee stepped in to stop it. Coach Miesha Tate called Morgan the biggest 135-pounder that she's ever seen.
Modafferi quickly closed the distance and took Letourneau down. She took Letourneau's back and submitted her with a rear naked choke.
Gorman immediately took Sandmeier down and moved to side control. He took Sandmeier's back, flattened him out and pounded his way to a technical knockout.
Evinger looked good early but faded in the second round. Pennington took advantage and locked on a guillotine choke that forced Evinger to tap out.
Beal, a cancer survivor, utilized his striking to hurt Kakai early in the fight. Kakai came back with takedowns and submission attempts in the second round and the fight went to a third. Beal won by decision and left an impression on the coaches and UFC president Dana White.
Hill, an accomplished grappler, outwrestled Holohan on his way to a clear-cut decision victory earning his place in the fighter house.
Baszler quickly closed the distance and got the fight to the ground. She took Schneider's back but Scheider scrambled back to her feet only to be taken down again. Baszler applied an arm bar, extended the arm and Schneider was forced to tap out.
Fisette came out aggressive early. He took Holdsworth down and landed shots but the Team Alpha Male trained Holdsworth kept his composure. Holdsworth applied a triangle choke but Fisette escaped and landed leather. Holdsworth gained top position and advanced to the mount. He then applied an arm triangle choke that forced Fisette to tap out.
Pena advanced in dominating fashion. She landed punches while standing and brutalized Mazany with ground and pound. Pena mounted Mazany and rained down strikes until the referee step in to stop the action. Dana White scored the two rounds 10-7 for Pena.
It was largely an uneventful fight with a lot of jockeying for position. Gutierrez won the grappling portion and the decision to secure a place in the fighter house.
LaRosa landed early and Moras quickly took the women's MMA pioneer to the canvas. She was able to get LaRosa in bad positions on the ground and win a decision.
De Freitas landed leg kicks early but Bollinger took him down. De Freitas applied a guillotine choke but Bollinger fought his way out of the submission attempt. De Freitas had Bollinger in a triangle choke as the bell sounded ending the opening round. Fatigue set in on de Freitas in the second frame and Bollinger began landing big shots. De Freitas eventually wilted under the pressure and the referee stopped the fight.
UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey won the coin toss and opted to pick the first fight, allowing Miesha Tate to choose the first fighter. The team selections began with the female fighters.
Tate chose Julianna Pena as he first pick. Rousey chose Shayna Baszler. Tate then chose Sarah Moras. Rousey's second team pick was Jessamyn Duke. Raquel Pennington went to Team Tate next while Peggy Morgan went to Team Rousey. Roxanne Modafferi was Tate's final female pick. The last lady standing, Jessica Rakoczy, landed on Team Rousey.
The men were up next and Tate chose Cody Bollinger as her first pick. Rousey's first pick was Chris Beal. Chris Holdsworth went to Team Tate next, while Rousey chose David Grant. Tate's third male pick was Josh Hill. Rousey decided on Anthony Gutierrez. Tim Gorman completed Team Tate, while Team Rousey's final addition was Michael Wooten.
Rousey could have chosen the first fight to be male or female and she decided to pit the two top female team picks against each other. The first fight between Team Rousey and Team Tate will be Shayna Baszler vs. Julianna Pena.

CARLSBAD, CA—The Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, here, completed a multimillion-dollar renovation of its 329 guestrooms and casual dining restaurant, California Bistro.
The updated rooms and dining facility feature a coastal style that enhances the traditional Spanish Colonial architecture of the AAA Five Diamond Resort.
BAMO, Inc. of San Francisco designed the comprehensive renovations, which included repainting and recarpeting of all guestrooms, updated window treatments, lighting, artwork and adding select pieces of furniture.
California Bistro was revamped with a lounge area to accommodate guests. The restaurant received new carpeting, tiles, chairs, wall coverings, window treatments and china.
General Manager Mark Stiebeling stated, "The renovation ensures we maintain our high level of excellence and continue to create memorable experiences for our guests."
Park Hyatt Aviara Resort is set on 200 acres with views of the Pacific Coast and Batiquitos Lagoon. There are facilities for meetings and special events, four restaurants, a full-service spa, swimming, tennis, a fitness center and an Arnold Palmer-designed 18-hole championship golf course.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

"Plot is highly overrated," League of Legends designer says
Tom Abernathy says developers should instead focus on developing strong characters.
"Plot is highly overrated," League of Legends developer Riot Games narrative lead Tom Abernathy said today during a Game Developers Conference presentation at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Abernathy, who previously worked at Microsoft on Halo: Reach, said internal and external research "proves that out."
It's not plot that truly hooks gamers, but rather characters, Abernathy said.
"Users don't remember plot; what the do remember is they remember characters," Abernathy said. Players become "hooked" in a game if they care about its characters, he explained.
"Focus on the things that they will retain, that are going to be most important to them in the long-run," Abernathy said to a room of developers and press. "Focus on character."
But to create believable and compelling characters, developers should make sure that characters' motivations are aligned appropriately with the motivations that they are leading the player to experience as well, Abernathy said.
Also during the talk, co-presenter Richard Rouse III, a design lead at Microsoft, said most players do not finish games. He estimated that only about a third of players actually finish the games they play.

Cubs Shutout Padres at HoHoKam Water Park
Four pitchers combined to throw a five-hit shutout, and Vismeldy Bieneme reached base four times, stole two bases, and scored three runs, as the AZL Cubs blanked the AZL Padres 3-0 in a game that was played in a steady monsoon drizzle at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa Tuesday night.
RHP Marcus Hatley (2009 TJS) continued his rehab, throwing two innings (29- pitches - 17 strikes) and allowing two singles.
RHP Hector Mayora faced the minimum nine batters in his three innings of work (he gave up a one-out single in the 5th, but the baserunner was cut-down trying to steal), and RHP Austin Reed (2010 12th round draft pick out of Rancho Cucamonga HS - Rancho Cucamonga, CA) also threw three shutout innings (36 pitches - 23 strikes), allowing a single, a double (a simple pop up misplayed into a hit by RF Xavier Batista), and a HBP while striking out three. Reed has electric stuff but sometimes his mechanics go haywire, although he was mostly spot-on tonight.
6'5 Australian LHP Cody Hams got the final three outs (K, 5-3, K) to record the save, and just in time, too, as the game-long drizzle began to turn into more of a downpour.
2B Vismeldy Bieneme reached base on an E-5, stole 2nd base, advanced to 3rd on a 4-3 ground out, and scored the game's first run in the bottom of the 1st inning on a Ryan Cuneo line-drive RBI single. Bieneme singled with one out in the bottom of the 3rd, moved up on an Anthony Giansanti single and a WP, and then scored when the Padres picked Giansanti off 1st base with two outs, with Bieneme scoring from 3rd before the Pads could put a tag on Giansanti. And then Bieneme singled again in the bottom of the 6th, stole second, advanced to 3rd on a WP, and scored on a Ryan Cuneo F-8 SF. (Cuneo is now 3rd in the AZL in RBI with 21, and Bieneme is 4th in SB with 10).
Recently-signed Cubs 2nd round draft pick RF Reggie Golden was in uniform (wearing #19), but he did not see action in tonight's game.
Re: Cubs Shutout Padres at HoHoKam Water Park
Thanks, AZ. Looking forward to your take on the Golden boy.
On a side note, this didn't take long:
I know the "scratched" part is old news, but now we apparently have a diagnosis. Do the Cubs have a box of white towels that they can send to the Nats?
Re: Cubs Shutout Padres at HoHoKam Water Park
Miles posted this yesterday on Szczur for those interested:
The Cubs sent along a nice note about outfielder Matt Szczur, their fifth-round pick out of Villanova. He hit safely in all 18 games with Class A Boise and will be promoted to Peoria (A). Matt hit .397 (29-for-73) with 9 doubles, 16 runs, 8 RBI, a .439 on-base percentage and a .521 slugging percentage in the 18 games with Boise. In college, he hit .443 (77-for-174) this past season and was named to the All-Big East first team after leading the team in eight offensive categories.
Matt is also a star of the Villanova football team, which he helped lead to its first national championship (Football Championship Subdivision) as a junior in 2009. He was named the Colonial Athletic Association player of the year and special-teams player of the year. In the national championship, he rushed for a career-high 159 yards, 270 all-purpose yards and was named Most Outstanding Player. Matt's deal with the Cubs allows him to return to Villanova to play football in the fall, after which he is expected to decide between declaring for the NFL draft or continuing his baseball career next spring.
As you may know, Matt earned recognition and praise for donating his bone marrow to a young girl with leukemia earlier this spring. He missed 10 baseball games to help her out.
Re: Cubs Shutout Padres at HoHoKam Water Park
The Cubs don't need a guy willing to miss a baseball game for any old reason.
Re: Cubs Shutout Padres at HoHoKam Water Park
No doubt, what a pussy.
Re: Cubs Shutout Padres at HoHoKam Water Park
In all seriousness, the world needs more people like this guy.

When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.

Communicating with Students who are Deaf:
Students who are deaf communicate in different ways depending on several factors: amount of residual hearing, type of deafness, language skills, age at onset of deafness, speech abilities, speech reading skills, personality, intelligence, family environment and educational background. Some are more easily understood than others. Some use speech only or a combination of sign language, finger spelling, and speech, writing, body language and facial expression. Students who are deaf use many ways to convey an idea to other people. The key is to find out which combination of techniques works best with each student. The important thing is not how you exchange ideas or feelings, but that you communicate.

Here's pertinent text from the NIGC's new boss, Philip Hogen in a memo issued last Thursday to all Indian tribes with casino operations in Oklahoma ---
Excerpts from Philip Hogen Memo May 14, 2003
Feds warn tribes to end slot games
American Indian tribes across Oklahoma have been told to shut down all illegal slot machines at their casinos or face closure and fines.
"The bottom line is that all of these Class III devices must be promptly removed from tribal gaming facilities in Oklahoma," wrote Philip Hogen, the new chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission.
"My intention is to stop this activity by first seeking the assistance and cooperation of the tribal regulators and, second, by bringing enforcement actions against those operations that continue to operate these machines."
At issue are video machines in Oklahoma casinos that look, play and sound like traditional slot machines found in Las Vegas. Federal regulators have outlawed a variety of machines in Oklahoma, including "Red Hot Re-Spin," "Buffalo Nickels," "Lucky Cherries," "Pot- O'-Gold," "Rainbow Reels," "Fantasy 5," "Choctaw Skill Stop," "Fruit Fiesta" and "Winner's Touch."
"Tribal leaders and gaming commissioners should be aware that play of these slot machines and like devices that are electronic facsimiles of a game of chance -- be they spinning reel games, video card games or pick number games -- are all subject to regulation ... and are Class III gaming."
The chairman also wrote: "I ask tribal gaming commissioners and tribal leaders in Oklahoma to promptly review the machine gaming activity in their facilities and take the responsible step to stop play of these Class III slot machines and like devices as soon as possible.
A copy of the memo was obtained Sunday by The Oklahoman. Tracy Burris, chairman of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association, � (Burris) viewed the letter as an effort by the new commissioner to work with the tribes.
"He's ... saying, 'We may have issues out here, but let's work together to resolve these issues,' instead of saying, 'We have issues. Boom. This is it. Do it.' It's a big difference," Burris explained.
"The key thing in this letter ... is when he lists people you can actually talk to -- the director of enforcement, the regional director, the field ... investigators and the staff senior attorney."
This should debunk all the phony pretenders puking on our board. It's time to start using the 'Big I' button again.
It sounds to me like there will be a lot of floor space open for RTB when a class II ruling comes down soon. The tribes will want to fill the floor space once occupied by class III machines.
Nuff said Pug
you idiot. your own letter guarantees a "turn down" of rtb.
read it again.
"Now you want us to worry about player appeal. "
Player appeal is the whole issue.
Well, I take that back. The stock will spike up on Class II approval, so if you are looking for a quick exit then the NIGC ruling is everything.
But it is not in doubt that they will get Class II. The issue is what tweaks they had to make. They submitted a Class III game with great appeal. Now they tweaked it to make it Class II.
Player appeal and patents will determine the long-term growth of MGAM.
Actually, the point you made was the machines had a Class III configuration.
Now you want us to worry about player appeal. I don't know how the tweaks are affecting game play and neither does anybody on this board. All we know is the tweaks are minor.
SoFlaStocks........this is exactly why I say the context is deceiving. Every electronic slot machine I know of uses a random number generator of some sort to play the game. As Bobaloo points out, ping pong balls from a standard BINGO game are randomly generated numbers....there's no rule in a Bingo game on WHAT DEVICE is used to pick the numbers called, pp balls are just traditional. My point is that by AVjr's quote its totally meaningless as it applies to whether RTB is class II or not.
The point is how they are going to satisfy not only the NIGC but also the tribes.
How are the minors tweaks affecting gameplay? If they draw the balls a certain way and have paper tickets, how do they keep it so players can 'spin the reels' every 6 seconds?
What's your point? Who said it was a "random number generator simulating predrawn 'balls'"?
henderson said : "BINGO is a game that uses randomly generated numbers" Which is exactly correct. A bingo blower is a random number generator. A coin flipped in the air is a random number generator.
Settle down.
So who makes all those games he mentions?
Also, is this what the NIGC is so busy doing? If they would just finish the approval process on RTB, then the tribes would have a logical and satisfactory alternative to replace all these Class III machines.
Believe Hogen is trying to clear the slate of ALL ILLEGAL SLOTS in the state at the same time. Could be wrong but ... didn't Las Vegas' growth explode after 'going legal'???

Review: Perfect Touch Auto Restoration
email me at [email protected] He scammed me big time! (Oct 2, 2009 | post #13)
Review: Perfect Touch Auto Restoration
Greetings! My van was involved in a accident in Feb 2009. I met Decker at his then location in FREEHOLD NJ (PEFECT TOUCH AUTO RESTORATION). He told me he could fix the van for $2000. I gave him a check, which I should not have done. He moved to Asbury Park 1011 Asbury Avenue. The van was parked in a impound lot across the street from his shop. He never did anything with it. I constantly called him prior and he always had a story to tell, ie., his father was ill, his daughter was sick, he didn't have enough employees to work on the van, the weather wasn't good, the list goes on and on. I filed with the BBB, Consumer Affairs and he would not respond to their request to answer questions. Filed in Small Claims Ct. He never showed up. Now I have to file a default judgement and need his social security number to do so. Of course I can't get it. Now I'm stuck, and will be out of the $2000 and the van, which needs to be junked. If you have had a similar story email me at [email protected] (Oct 2, 2009 | post #12)

Roland's Profile
I value good manners and I don't mind profanity, if it's used in a non hostile way
I am able to look at things without or with the least personal filters. disconnect the self from myself and get the most objective, distortion free image of anything I look at.
If I had to label myself, then a stylish renegade or a creative nonconformist
I do sewing, design, photography myself and recently started working on shoes and boots which require me to learn several new skills in traditional techniques and basics of the profession, CAD design and industrial technologies.
I'm intrigued to pioneer new techniques and manufacture new tools if it's necessary.

The unlimited number of open-source software (OSS) users and the importance of end users' experience in determining software quality make usability an even more critical quality attribute for OSS than it is for proprietary software. The research model of this study establishes the relationship between usability errors in OSS and online public forums. The results of this empirical analysis provide evidence about active management of usability-related issues in OSS. To conduct this research, the authors used a dataset consisting of 1753 OSS projects, covering a broad range of categories. The results of the study show that online forums play a significant role in identifying and fixing usability bugs in OSS.

Product Description
"Diabolically clever . . . This book works, first of all, as a classic locked-room puzzle in the John Dickson Carr tradition. It brings back the World War I look and feel of old St. Paul (Minnesotans, especially, will love this series, as will anyone interested in architecture), along with an expert overview of the tensions (a streetcar strike, civil unrest) of the time. Engaging characters and a hold-your-breath plot also make this one an all-around winner." —Booklist
"Millett's excellent sixth Sherlock Holmes pastiche featuring Shadwell Rafferty offers a tantalizing, impossible crime. . . . John Dickson Carr fans will appreciate this intelligent homage to the master of the locked-room mystery." —Publishers Weekly

Second, I enjoyed the characters and the setting, both the Twin Cities themselves and the World War I time period. The author did an excellent job of weaving in information about the labor strife of the times, the patriotism committees which sought to repress all civil rights, the growing temperance movement, and the government's control of production and pricing according to war-time guidelines.
Third, the book is well-written. The flow from scene to scene is smooth and the author is in complete control of sentences and paragraphs and point of view. This was a pleasure to read.
This is a locked room mystery, and an homage to the most famous writer of locked-room mysteries, J.D. Carr. If you like locked room mysteries, you will definitely enjoy this one. If you're a fan of locked room mysteries of the past, you will find references to them tucked into the pages of this book. Some of the less prominent characters in the book have been given the names of various detectives of locked-room mysteries. J.D. Carr himself appears in the story! So that's all fun.
I know that a lot of people really like Shadwell Rafferty, and I don't dislike him myself. But I don't understand why Larry Millett can't give up on Holmes and just write Rafferty books. It's false advertising to write a 300-plus page book with Holmes in maybe 8 pages, and call that "featuring Sherlock Holmes". If Holmes were actually in the book, sure. But not for "manuscript fragments" or as in the fourth book of the series, pages from John Waton's diaries. But I shouldn't complain, because at least Holmes's name is not actually in this title.
But Holmes's name is part of the subtitle of this book, "A Locked Room Mystery featuring Shadwell Rafferty and Sherlock Holmes," even though Holmes is in it for only one chapter, and at that, the chapter is represented to be a fragment of a manuscript by Dr. John Watson. So really, that's how long Sherlock Holmes is in this book: for a fragment of a manuscript. So it's kind of a stretch to say the book features Sherlock Holmes.
It's also kind of odd to say the book "features" Shadwell Rafferty, when it's actually all about him. If you like Shadwell Rafferty, and you chose this book because you wanted more stories about him, this book should be a very satisfactory read to you.
Another Minneapolis and St. Paul mystery, this one set in 1917 during the years of the Great War. "When financier Artemus Dodge is shot to death in his fortress-like office in the penthouse of St. Paul's tallest building, no one can figure out how someone was able to fire a bullet into the sealed room undetected." Engaging characters and a well developed plot blended with some great historical action gives the reader a wonderful entertaining ride right up to the gripping conclusion. Millett develops his stories and his characters very well; his style seems to closely emulate Doyle. In fact, one of Millett's greatest strength has been capturing Watson's voice, as well as the essence of Holmes and Watson's relationship. However, here, we find an older, but well developed (through many previous novels), fascinating character of Shadwell Rafferty and his partner, Washington Thomas. Millet knows a lot about the history and architecture of St. Paul, so the setting seems quite authentic. His knowledge of history and architecture adds a great depth of reality to the local color of his books. To experience his writing of the five Sherlock Holmes stories and especially for the evolution of the characters of Rafferty, Washington, and the background of Minnesota, I certainly recommend reading them in order; however, it is not really necessary for this book, which is really a true Shadwell Rafferty novel as opposed to the earlier Holmes pastiches.
I love some of the clever touches that Millett puts in his book. For example, a key character in "The Magic Bullet" is J. D. Carr, who appears to have named after the writer John Dickson Carr, a known writer of "locked room" mysteries - as "The Magic Bullet" is. Not only that, even in the story, J. D. Carr is named by Holmes to be the actual author of a book: "The Locked Room Mystery: Its Seven Common Types...." The listed author of this book is Dr. Gideon Fell, who just happens to be one of real author John Dickson Carr's more famous central characters. If you enjoy the "impossible mystery" (locker room mystery), I would suggest Carr's "The Case of the Constant Suicides." This one of the author's more interesting mysteries - three men die and the reader must determine who committed suicide and who was murdered. Like many of Carr's books, this is more of a "howdunit" than a "whodunit," and the reader follows Carr's detective, Dr. Gideon Fell. I love Millett's style of writing, his little touches and inside jokes; if you have not read the series, I would certainly recommend reading them.

Online recruitment company Monster Worldwide Inc(MWW.N), which is up for sale, reported a quarterly loss and said it had exited its businesses in Brazil, Mexico and Turkey.
The company also said it sold its China operations to Saongroup, a Dublin-based recruitment firm, and took a 10 percent stake in the combined business.
Monster said in November it would sell its money losing business in China to focus on its core North American and European businesses.
Monster has been hurt by weak job markets in the United States and Europe, which generate the lion's share of its revenue, as well as growing competition from social networking sites.
The parent of Monster.com retained Stone Key Partners and Bank of America Merrill Lynch in March 2012 to review strategic alternatives including a sale of the company.
Monster reported a net loss of $73 million, or 66 cents per share, in the fourth quarter, from $10.9 million, or 9 cents per share, a year earlier.
The company recorded pre-tax charges of $23 million during the quarter ended December, and said it expects additional charges in the range of $27 million to $37 million in the first half of 2013.
Excluding items, the company earned 8 cents per share.
Revenue dropped 10 percent to $211.2 million.
Monster's shares have dropped about a fourth since the company said it was reviewing strategic alternatives. They closed at $5.85 on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

Native(ish) Netflix!
The folks over at http://www.iheartubuntu.com recently put up a challenge to the Linux community to get Netflix to work natively under our beloved OS. Thankfully, Erich Hoover stepped up to the challenge and patched the Wine Project in a way to allow Firefox/Silverlight to be installed and actually work with Netflix's DRM'd Silverlight!
Screenshot from
The process is a little complex, and it involves patching source code before compiling, but Erich plans to create a PPA with all the compiling already done. Eventually, he intends to create a standalone Netflix-playing app that incorporates all the pieces of Wine and Silverlight. Thankfully, Erich didn't wait until the project was complete before sharing his success. If you want to play native(ish) Netflix on your Linux desktop without virtualization, check out his instructions at: http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/netflix-on-ubuntu-is-here.html.
Shawn Powers is a Linux Journal Associate Editor. You might find him on IRC, Twitter, or training IT pros at CBT Nuggets.
it is a nice site i think you
it is a nice site i think you need to include more stuff in it
NetFlix ppa avaiable & working
Linux PPA for Netflicks is Working.
Compliments of Erich Hoover.
Go Here first!!
Follow the easy instructions.
If you had previously tried to install the Netflix Desktop App via our terminal commands from the earlier post, we recommend running the line below in a terminal to clear out any unexpected errors BEFORE trying to install the Netflix Desktop app via the PPA method...
rm -Rf ~/.netflix-desktop
***ppa install method***
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
You can also "thank" Erich for his hard work by donating to his ChipIn...
Old news
This article has no clue. The ppa has been out for about 2 months.
Great reporting Shawn! This
Great reporting Shawn! This is the best patch of the wine project ever. Who cares if it's native or not, it works very well, that's all that matters.
Wine'd Netflix already running on Fuduntu
Not sure if part of the same project but as of 12/19/2012, Fuduntu Linux already has a "wine'd" version of Netflix up and running.
While this project does work
While this project does work really well, I still wouldn't call it native. But thank you so much for getting it done, this is awesome.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

text: All right. So I've been tinkering around, trying to find a reason NOT to use Snorlax in GSC, and the best reason I can think of is that you already have 3 Fighting-weaks, like the support that each of those uniquely provides, and do not want to get rid of one for Snorlax. More than 3 Fight Weaks makes you go from "threatened by Machamp" to "absolutely destroyed by Machamp", so you really don't want more than 3 (ideally no more than 2, but most of the best GSC mons are Fighting-weak so that can be tough). The team below is nothing revolutionary or anything, it's my attempt at building more or less a standard team that (hopefully) stands up on par with teams that run Snorlax without using Snorlax itself. Zapdos @ Leftovers -Thunder -Hidden Power [Ice] -Rest -Sleep Talk Standard Sleep Talk Zapdos, it's my lead but actually the last thing I added to the team. It absorbs sleep for the team, makes a good mixed tank for a lot of threads (including Nidoking, who can really threaten the team otherwise), and acts as one of two checks to Vaporeon on this team. Not much to say, Zapdos patches holes and hits things hard, it's the ultimate splashable Pokemon. Tyranitar @ Leftovers -Rock Slide -Fire Blast -DynamicPunch -Pursuit Standard Pursuit Tyranitar, except maybe for DynamicPunch over Earthquake. One of the three non-Lax Fight-weaks. DPunch is inaccurate and means I miss out somewhat on damage against Raikou/Nidoking, but I consider relevant damage against Miltank, Umbreon, and (especially) Snorlax to be more important, plus confusion coupled with Thunder paralysis thanks to Zapdos can allow me to weasel my way into kills I have no business getting otherwise. Other than that, it can kind of sort of help me to take Exeggutor and Ghosts out of the picture, although I in no way want to rely on it because Tyranitar is vulnerable to status and simply being worn down. Regardless, Pursuit is a unique bit of support that Tyranitar provides and Snorlax cannot. Admittedly, my description betrays the fact that I'm not terribly high on Tyranitar, and Pursuit isn't game-breaking support or anything, so a Snorlax here might improve the team. Regardless, Ttar is a little more effective at luring opposing Cloys so I can damage them and win the Spikes war, in addition to actually killing (instead of switching into and forcing out) opposing Ghosts to permit the use of Rapid Spin, and less obviously being able to get chip damage on fliers (Zapdos and Skarmory) that are otherwise invulnerable to Spikes. Plus, he resists Explosion, so it makes life tougher on Gengar and Exeggutor trying to break my defenses open, all while providing the offensive presence that Snorlax would. Also, Ttar provides a second Normal resist, thereby allowing me to reliably check Lovely Kiss Drumlax. Cloyster @ Leftovers -Surf -Toxic -Spikes -Rapid Spin Standard Spiking Cloyster, with Rapid Spin support. Toxic will nail Starmies and Snorlax, against whom I otherwise have no recourse, with eventually-crippling residual damage. The second of three non-Lax Fight-weaks. Obviously, its main purpose is getting Spikes down, and Spikes is something that Snorlax cannot do for me. Rapid Spin makes it much more effective at fighting opposing Cloyster and allows me to actually punish other Cloys for being reckless about switching into Toxics, as without Rapid Spin there's little reason for Cloyster to keep switching in and eventually die to poison damage, and there's certainly no way to "win" the Spikes war, I'm fighting instead to at best draw at +1/+1. Miltank @ Leftovers -Body Slam -Growl -Milk Drink -Heal Bell Standard Heal Bell Miltank, it offers Heal Bell which Snorlax cannot do. Thanks to Tyranitar, its lack of coverage moves to dissuade dangerous Ghost-type switch-ins less scary. Heal Bell helps my Ttar and especially Cloyser in return by allowing them to play a bit more recklessly around potential Toxics. I also have a Pokemon below that appreciates Heal Bell support to wake it up from Rests. This Pokemon is one of my checks to Curselax (Ttar doesn't quite count, he can't switch into a Curse because DPunch does not do enough to +1 Lax), and also against Rhydon/Steelix/CurseTar, who can otherwise be somewhat problematic, and of course is my main switch-in to Nidoking once Zapdos has taken Sleep. Raikou @ Leftovers -Thunder -Hidden Power [Ice] -Roar -Rest Roar Raikou lets me do work with Spikes down. Thunder is for extra damage against Lax (a Poisoned Lax switching into Spikes is guaranteed to be KOed by two straight Thunder hits at 70% health, Thunderbolt only guarantees this at 59%), Hidden Power Ice stops me from wasting Thunder PPs against Zapods while also giving me Ground coverage and Exeggutor, too. Exeggutor is more immediately threatening, whereas Steelix generally requires a favorable endgame to really get going, so I prioritize hitting the former with HP Ice over hitting the latter with HP Water. Also, note Double Electrics. They form my anti-Vaporeon core and, of course, without Lax, I may as well use the clear #2 and #3 together to keep up with the Joneses. Plus, double-electrics stop random Waters like Starmie and Suicune from actually being a threat, which is ridiculous. Skarmory @ Leftovers -Drill Peck -Toxic -Whirlwind -Rest Counters Snorlax, counters Marowak, counters Exeggutor, checks Rhydon/CurseTar somewhat with Toxic. Without Curse, it can't wall last-Poke Lax, but I have GrowlTank for that if it ever materializes as a threat (the aim is to kill it with Toxic + SpikesRoar at some point anyway), so I prefer Toxic so that I can make some semblance of progress when Skarm goes active. Skarm is pretty necessary on SpikesRoar centric teams like this, imo, so that Cloyster can set up on a Cursing Curselax and then duck out to let Skarm Phaze it right out. Even Fire Blast Laxen can't KO it on the spot (without a crit, of course) if it uses a +3 DE on the switch, so Cloy can even afford to switch in, toss out Spikes, and even using Toxic to wear down the Lax before going out to Skarm. There's obviously issues with the team, but what do people think of the concept? Is this team on par with teams that use Lax (or does it at least offer something significant that just slapping a Lax on top of it would mess up), or does it still fall short in important ways? If Lax would improve the team, who would you replace for it? And what do you think would be a better way to go about making a no-Lax team to compete with Lax-using teams?
