In 2016 that famous fuming feathered army, Angry Birds, will be elevated to Hollywood-level stardom as they go head to head with their porky enemies on the big screen. Angry Birds The Movie has Pixar written all over it. And where Pixar goes others follow. So here are the greatest app to film adaptations we see coming soon.
Apple Maps: Lost In The Woods
The app Apple's attempt at mapping that sent users to the wrong places, nearly killing some forest wandering Australians.
The film Cheerleader Brittany and her quarterback boyfriend Troy want to get away on a private holiday after prom night. Its time to take their relationship to the next level. Apple Maps, lurking in her handbag, has other plans. Untarmaced roads, an empty fuel tank, and the glaring eyes of local cannibal hicks lead to a death trap they can never hope to find their way out of – if Apple Maps has anything to do with it. Ultimately a Hollywood ending is reached thanks to the film's hero – found on the Android phone of a dead hiker – Google Maps.
Fruit Ninja: Night Of The Living Lychees
The app Screen swiping skill tester that rewards fewer slices of your Fruit Ninja blade to destroy maximum falling fruit.
The film Bullied nerd and failed scientist Clyde Fraise, after being called a fruit and nut all his life, decides to take revenge. Using, science, he bring fruit to life which angers the otherwise comfortably inanimate edibles – who inevitably want to kill all humans. Enter the Fruit Ninja whose name and origins nobody knows. You can guess how that goes for the fruit.
Cat Piano: A Life Played in Major
The app A small piano keyboard of a size suitable for cats.
The film In an attempt to make a video for YouTube one pet owner is surprised when her cat is able to play a simplified Beethoven's Fifth on her iPhone. Fame, fortune and fandom follow for our feline friend. But, just like using too much alliteration, the excess ruins the now drug addicted cat. His path to recovery leads addicts the world over to repent as, once again, this seemingly messianic cat is loved by its residents he saves.
Draw Something: He Dares You
The app Doodle something for another person to guess on their phone, they reciprocate, ad infinitum into Draw Something addiction.
The film On a planet where humans are enslaved and all forms of expression are illegal, one man stands up. He creates Draw Something and sparks an uprising that changes the world as they know it. This should probably be told retrospectively with Morgan Freeman narrating and it ending in a twist that reveals the film was on a future Earth all along.
Frontline Commando: Suck My Gun Barrel
The app A first person shooter described on the Play Store as, "ONE MAN. ONE WAR. YOU ARE THE FRONTLINE COMMANDO."
The film Muscle-bound military man Max Hardon, played by Sam Worthington, must kill all the bad guys so the good guys can win. He does this. Lots of people die but they are bad and good wins. This is good.

Regis (Colo.) Jesuit vs. Aurora (Colo.) Gateway at 6:00 p.m.
The first round matchup of the Colorado state 5A playoffs pits Regis Jesuit against a solid Gateway squad that features Colorado State commit Zackary Golditch, a 6-5, 265-pound offensive lineman. Gateway junior receiver Anthony Holmes is a 6-6, 195-pounder who's getting a lot of interest for basketball as well as football. (@BrandonHuffman)
Littleton (Colo.) Columbine at Grand Junction (Colo.) at 1:00 p.m.
Grand Junction features a pair of Mountain West commits, Wyoming defensive tackle pledge James Diamante and Colorado State defensive end verbal Austin Berk. Junior Theron Verna is another to watch for Grand Junction. Columbine is home to Colorado verbal John Lisella as well as running back prospect Bernard McDondle. (@BrandonHuffman)
Castle Rock (Colo.) Castle View vs. Arvada (Colo.) Ralston Valley at 4:00 p.m.
Ralston Valley has a pair of D-I prospects, one being 6-10 offensive tackle Dan Skipper, an SEC commit headed to Tennessee. Ralston Valley also has linebacker Jordan Anderson, who has a couple of offers. (@BrandonHuffman)
Phoenix (Ariz.) Paradise Valley at Peoria (Ariz.) Liberty at 7 p.m.
The first round of the Arizona state playoffs start Friday and this division-three opening round match-up is a rematch from early in the season, one in which Liberty won. With two of the top quarterbacks in the state playing in this game, expect a ton of offense. Paradise Valley is led by Boise State commit Ryan Finley who leads the state in passing yards. He is protected up front by tackle Patrick Johnson, who has an offer from Idaho. Liberty's dual-threat passer, Tyler Rogers, is exciting to watch. Rogers has offers from Air Force and South Dakota State currently. (@jason247scout)
Broomfield (Colo.) Legacy at Highlands Ranch (Colo.) Valor Christian at 7:00 p.m.
One of the most talented teams in the state, Valor Christian begins their run in the playoffs as the #4 seed. They're led by Oklahoma State commit Luke Del Rio, an Elite 11 passer, and running back Christian McCaffrey a Scout 300 prospect from the 2014 class who's got a slew of offers. Fellow running back Daryl Hawkins, a senior, has some FCS offers. (@BrandonHuffman)
El Toro (Calif.) at Mission Viejo (Calif.) at 7:00 p.m.
This is a huge South Coast League matchup with both teams, 9-0, 4-0 in league and a conference title at stake. The Chargers are led by Utah quarterback commit Connor Manning, who has been putting up video game numbers all season. Manning has thrown for over 3,500 yards and 38 touchdowns with just three interceptions. El Toro also has a strong running game led by 1,000 yard rusher Jacob Furnani and has an offer from Air Force. For Mission Viejo, two-way standout Max Redfield is the clear headliner. Redfield is headed to USC to play safety but he's one of the top receivers in the region and a top 50 player nationally as well. UCLA offensive line commit Erik Bunte has looked very comfortable playing for the Diablos after his much publicized transfer from Santa Margarita. Bunte starts at left tackle for Mission and has had a solid season. Junior quarterback Ian Fieber is having a strong season and is a definite BCS prospect. He has good size, a live arm and can make all the throws. Another junior to watch for the Diablos is running back Alex Suchesk. The athlete is a physical runner and one of the fastest players in the state having clocked a 10.72-100m last year. (@GregBiggins)
Canyon Country (Calif.) Canyon at Newhall (Calif.) Hart at 7:30 p.m.
The top prospect in Friday's matchup is Canyon wide receiver Drew Wolitarsky, who recently broke the California state record for receiving yards in a career that was held by former USC star Steve Smith. The 6-3, 200-pound receiver has eight scholarship offers and is interested in San Jose State, Minnesota and Army. On the opposite sideline, Hart features a pair of talented 2015 prospects in wide receiver Trent Irwin and quarterback Brady White. Irwin has created quite a bit of buzz because of his impressive performances the last two years at camps and offseason 7-on-7 tournaments. He has great hands, good size and deceptive speed. (@KevinCarden)
Etiwanda (Calif.) at Upland (Calif.) at Friday at 7 p.m.
The Upland (Calif.) Scots are 9-0 as they prepare to host 4-5 Etiwanda (Calif.) in this Inland Empire match up. Upland is led by quarterback Nate Romine (6-0, 185), who has been hearing from the likes of Oregon State, Houston, and Air Force. The Scots' defense is anchored by one of the nation's top defense ends in Joe Mathis, who has picked up over fifty offers and is seriously considering schools including Washington, Nebraska, and Utah, where he took an official visit last weekend. Mathis will be presented with his U.S. Army All-American Game Jersey before Friday's game; he's mentioned that he will be announcing his college decision during January's game. The talented defensive back duo of cornerback Delvin Batiste (a San Diego State commit) and safety James Johnson (an Arizona State commit) adds to the threat. Players to watch include running back Tyler Bratton and receiver Russell Boucher. Etiwanda's biggest play-maker is receiver Jordan Villamin, an Oregon State commit. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound player gave his verbal to the Beavers over the summer, though he also recently took an official visit to Utah. (@AnnabelStephan)
Parker (Colo.) Chaparral at Highlands Ranch (Colo.) Rock Canyon at 4:00 p.m.
Chaparral is paced by three-star tight end Mitch Parsons, who just decommitted from Colorado and is now wide open, as well as quarterback Max Kuhns. Receiver Brendan Malone is a 2014 prospect. (@BrandonHuffman)
Seattle (Wash.) O'Dea vs. Lakewood (Wash.) Lakes at 4:00 p.m.
Lakewood (Wash.) Lakes wide receiver and Washington commit Sammie Long has great size at 6'4" 190lbs. Long is best when the ball is in the air and has the ability to go up and pull it down. Long also holds an offer from Utah and could consider visiting later this year. In addition to Long, Lakes has another college level wide receiver in Marquin Russell. He holds offers from Army and Idaho and is an elite athlete that some believe could be more talented than Long. Two Lakes players that have a chance to be the top prospects in the state in their respective classes are 2015 defensive end Benning Potoae and 2016 offensive tackle Jared Goldwire. Potoae is the younger brother of current Washington Husky Sione Potoae and is already a dominant force. Just a freshman, Goldwire stands 6'6" 265lbs and will bring back memories of Lakes last giant lineman, USC tackle Zach Banner. The star for O'Dea is athlete and speedster Tatum Taylor, who took an official visit to Arizona State this past weekend. Taylor is also planning on visiting Oregon State and Washington State. O'Dea has a collection of underclassmen worth keeping an eye on. 2014 quarterback Pierre Le Dorze, 2014 fullback Jack Flor, 2015 running back Myles Gaskin, 2015 wide receiver Mikel Owes and 2015 cornerback Kaleb Swain all have a chance to play at the next level. (@JakeWorthen)
Mountlake Terrace (Wash.) High vs. Burien (Wash.) Kennedy at 7:00 p.m.
Mountlake Terrace star 2014 running back Devante Downs picked up offers from Utah and Washington recently. He will be one of the top prospects in the state next season and should have a handful of offers by the time he signs. The two standouts for Kennedy are big men. Washington State commit Cole Madison is the smaller of the two, but both he and teammate Desmound Thompson are listed at 6'6" 260lbs. Thompson has seen recruiting pick up during the season with productive and improved play on the field. (@JakeWorthen)

'"There are a lot of issues that future ownership will have to decide. And it will revolve around the reality of where we are. The bankruptcy, the fact that we can generate the revenues to cover current expenses. The greatest expendure you have are players. So, if an ownership group was not prepared to, or not want to go into their pockets to underwrite the losses, the other option would be to cut back on player payroll. This is a possibility and that could mean a lot of things. It could mean draft picks or younger players. Or it could be cheaper, older players."'

- Helps provide a scalable, cost-effective solution that can integrate with business applications
- Helps reduce costs by using an open-systems approach that leverages your existing infrastructure
- Offers advanced functionality to help reduce labor-intensive, error-prone tasks
Service detail
Over time, video surveillance systems have become more advanced in order to address increasingly sophisticated threats, offering features and capabilities that have not been available with tape-based or digital video recorder (DVR)-based solutions. Additionally, these systems have evolved into Internet Protocol (IP)-based networked solutions, offering other advantages many organizations need. New challenges arise as many businesses consider transitioning the ownership and management of security assets to their IT departments, who have broader knowledge of and experience with network-based technology, but lack adequate knowledge of physical security. Organizations must now reevaluate their physical security and risk management from a new perspective and address challenges from multiple areas. You need help evaluating the overall security needs of your organization and developing a more effective, scalable and integrated security solution.
IBM Physical Security Services - Digital Video Surveillance (DVS) provides services to help address your security requirements. We use a holistic approach that can bridge the gap between your physical security, IT and business goals. We collaborate with you to develop an integrated video surveillance solution that automates the day-to-day capture, indexing and storage of video content. Our solution includes digital streaming and enables authorized personnel to view, monitor and digitally record activities in real time, with the ability to share "live" and archived video from virtually anywhere across your organization. We offer comprehensive services to help address your security needs, including security threat and vulnerability assessment, network and system design, hardware and software installation, ongoing maintenance, and integration of digital video systems with your overall IT environment. We can help you realize greater efficiency from your physical security system and better mitigate security risks, while reducing maintenance and labor costs. With our solution, you can focus on the tasks of securing your organization, while we handle the technology.

During election season you can count on candidates to vie for the "loves America most" moniker. Being perceived as down on America, at home or abroad, is a path to a lost election. We saw this in 2004, when the release of John Kerry's testimony on the supposed atrocities committed by his fellow soldiers in Vietnam hurt him significantly in the polls. We are seeing it again now. In Monday night's debate, Mitt Romney again accused President Obama of going on an "apology tour", where the President supposedly took it upon himself to apologize for most of America's foreign policy over the past decade (while slighting our closest ally, Israel). The telling aspect of this exchange was not Governor Romney's accusation, but President Obama's response. Rather than explaining his opposition to an American foreign policy that "dictates to other nations", or talking about the evils of unjustified foreign wars or neo-colonialism, President Obama denied that he apologized for anything and affirmed his belief that America is absolutely indispensible as a force for good in the world. Mr. Romney, for his part, said that America is the hope of the earth.
The rhetoric on both sides is strong here, and conservatives need to accept most of the blame for how indiscriminate and apparently inevitable this rhetoric is. We are fond of pointing out the "anti-American" rhetoric of many on the Left, yet we often seem unwilling to acknowledge that there is an opposite extreme. I am certainly guilty of this.
John Piper and Doug Wilson have already pointed out that this language amounts to a kind of soft idolatry, ascribing to American military and political power a role that once belonged to the Gospel. Now instead of sending missionaries into foreign lands to convert the "heathen" to Christ, we send political pressure in its many forms to ensure that the heathen (whose own religious beliefs we refuse to interfere with in the name of pluralism) does what is in the American state's best interests.
Now of course I have to clarify. I am not speaking about the use of government per se. America is no Theocracy, and the role of the state is not to spread the Gospel. I am speaking to individual Conservative Christians and the policies they support most vocally. Favoring a strong military to help ensure international harmony (or "peace through strength") is not bad in itself. But we need to be measured in our rhetoric. We should push back when a Presidential candidate talks about America in unmistakably Christological terms. At the risk of sounding utopian, our hope of world peace and universal redemption should be grounded in the preaching of the Gospel to the ends of the earth. This means we should be more concerned with saving souls under condemnation, not creating societies where "moderate" Muslims and Hindus will build McDonald's and Starbucks. Energies and resources should be spent putting a Bible in every hand, not an iPhone.
Lest I sound down on America, let me add an encouraging caveat. First, it must be admitted that both candidates were only speaking in political terms, and there is no doubt that America has been, on the whole, a force for good in the world. I only want to caution how we speak about America's role in the world and what aspects of our foreign influence we choose to emphasize. Our nation was once the greatest launching pad for missionaries before it was the greatest launching pad for F-22 fighters.
Second, the increase of America's military and economic influence, while not the primary "hope of the earth", should not be totally disparaged toward that end. A strong American military presence throughout the world would aid the church's missionary work, not to force conversions, but to protect missionaries from the retaliation and violence of intolerant states. Moreover, the spread of some non-religious aspects of American society and influence is not all bad. Putting an iPhone in the hand of every non-Westerner should not be confused with cultural salvation, but an iPhone would connect a new believer in Pakistan or China with a entire world's worth of evangelistic and educational resources.
In short, America can indeed be one hope of the earth in a very limited sense, only insofar as its influence is used to protect and aid those who go forth and proclaim the true hope of the earth.

Los Angeles Times
BEIJING – One man is completing his ascent to the pinnacle of power. The other is in the midst of a searing public humiliation.
Xi Jinping, China's new Communist Party secretary, will add the title of president at the end of the annual gathering of the National People's Congress, which opens Tuesday. The corruption trial of his purged rival, Bo Xilai, is expected shortly after.
Even as their fates have diverged sharply, the stories of their famous and powerful families have dominated Chinese political chatter for the last year. They have focused scrutiny on the country's "princelings," the sons and daughters of party or government officials, fostering a potent form of resentment in Chinese society.
Including Xi, six of the seven men tapped in November for the Politburo Standing Committee, the highest ruling body in the Communist Party and thus China, are the sons of such officials.
The phenomenon is not confined to China. The close relatives of past leaders have risen to the top in Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, India, Singapore and both Koreas. But the phenomenon is more jarring in a communist country, where equal opportunity is the bedrock of the ruling ideology.
The fact that there are no free elections leaves the party elders vulnerable to accusations that they have merely perpetuated China's dynastic traditions by handing down power within a "red nobility." The privileges of birth extend to every sector of the economy, be it oil, electric power, insurance or even diamonds.
"It isn't so much corruption as a system of official privilege," said Ding Xueliang, a professor of sociology at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Originally from the mainland, Ding recalls that when he worked at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Tse-tung Thought, many of his colleagues were children of officials who either changed their names or kept quiet about their connections. "After several months, you would learn, oh, her father was X, Y or Z."
The ascent of the princelings belies claims popular in some intellectual circles that China is a meritocracy in which talented people can be plucked from obscurity through a tradition of standardized exams dating back to Confucian times.
"Maybe a kid from a humble family can succeed based on his hard work and intelligence, but the official's kid is always going to have a much higher starting point," said Eric Yuan, a 33-year-old Communist Party member from Nanjing, who microblogs under the pen name "Screw the Second-Generation Rich."
The term diaosi, literally "hanging threads," has emerged on the Chinese Internet in reference to refer to young men and women without family connections trying to find jobs.
Several studies show China scoring poorly on what World Bank economist Francisco Ferreira calls the "inequality of opportunity index." Dou Xiaohong, a researcher at the Communist Party School in Hunan province, last year studied 403 college graduates and found their parents' background was the main determining factor in career success.
Princelings can always count on preferential admission to universities, tuition breaks and gifts or loans of cars, said a well-connected political scientist who is himself from an elite family and an old friend of Xi Jinping's.
"People will just give them things. They want to cultivate them while they are young. It's the best investment for the future," said the professor. "It is not necessarily their fault or the fault of their parents. This is Chinese society."
Xi, 59, and Bo, 63, are both members of the "red nobility." Their fathers were early followers of Mao and both later climbed the leadership ranks, each serving as vice premiers under Premier Chou En-lai.
At a time when other Chinese were starving, Xi lived in the vermilion-walled leadership compound in Beijing with a driver, servants and a special food supply. Like other elite youth, he was exiled to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution, an experience that party propagandists emphasize to cultivate an up-by-the-bootstraps myth.
But he gained admission to Tsinghua University with a party recommendation; after graduation, his father secured him a job as an aide to the powerful head of the Central Military Commission.
Bo Xilai also went from riches to rags and back to riches. A teenager at the start of the Cultural Revolution, he was briefly a member of the Red Guards before being packed off to a prison populated largely by offspring of officials. Later, he was admitted to Peking University, a school equal in prestige to Tsinghua, and then secured a plum post as a researcher in the Communist Party Central Committee's secretariat.
Their fathers were sometimes colleagues – and sometimes rivals.
The two men clashed most memorably when Xi's father allied himself with the liberal party secretary, Hu Yaobang, whose death in 1989 touched off the student protests at Tiananmen Square.
Shades of the elder Xi's ideology struggle with Bo's father, Bo Yibo, persist to this day. As party secretary in the southern city of Chongqing, Bo Xilai led a neo-Maoist revival of revolutionary songs and dances and a crackdown on corruption that reminded many of the fervor of the Cultural Revolution.
"That was the political inheritance of his father," said Zhang Lifan, a historian who also comes from a prominent family.
Once a contender for top leadership, Bo was purged from the party last year. He is expected to stand trial for corruption, as well as charges relating to his wife's murder conviction last year in a bizarre plot in which a British business consultant was killed by poison.
The Xi and Bo families are far from the only modern dynasties. Former Premier Li Peng, the adopted son of Chou, the late premier, has a daughter running one of China's electric power monopolies and a son who recently left the power industry and was selected as an alternate member in November to the Communist Party's Central Committee. Premier Wen Jiabao's wife dominates the uncut-diamond trade, while other family members hold a large stake in the country's largest insurance company.
Within the party, the Politburo Standing Committee named at the last congress marks something of a comeback by the "red nobility."
The previous top leaders came from modest backgrounds. Outgoing leader Hu Jintao's father was a tea merchant; Wen's father and grandfather were teachers. Political analysts say the shortcomings of their less-pedigreed tenure precipitated the princelings' comeback.
"Ten years later, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiaobao have nothing to show for themselves. People were disappointed in them and that allowed the princelings to come back. It's their turn to do something for the Chinese people," said Bo Zhiyue, a Singapore-based scholar who studies the Chinese leadership.

Professor Randall Kennedy Delivers Lecture on Colorblind ConstitutionalismFebruary 13, 2013
On February 5, Fordham Law hosted author and Harvard Law Professor Randall Kennedy as part of the Robert L. Levine Distinguished Lecture Series. In a speech entitled "Colorblind Constitutionalism," Professor Kennedy discussed the origins and implications of a neutral, deracialized interpretation of the Constitution.
The standing-room-only event was moderated by Professor Benjamin Zipursky. Professor Kennedy's lecture was followed by questions from the audience.
Kennedy began by introducing the concept of colorblind constitutionalism, which originated in Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan's famous Plessy v. Ferguson dissent. Kennedy went on to describe colorblind constitutionalism's various attractions, before explaining why it should ultimately be rejected.
The lecture touched upon a broad range of themes, such as originalism, equal protection, civil rights, and affirmative action. Kennedy's remarks highlighted topics from his forthcoming book, Fair Discrimination: Race, Law, and the Affirmative Action.
This event marks Kennedy's second appearance as a speaker at the Levine Lecture. He was first invited to speak in 1999, and delivered a lecture on race relations law.
A transcript of the Levine Lecture will be published in Volume 82 of the Fordham Law Review in fall 2013.

|Porträt Baudelaires by Gustave Courbet
It's not always a rational pursuit, in fact it's usually the opposite of a rational pursuit. It's not something you can prove ahead of time in numbers or formulas or a plan you know is going to work. You're operating on gut instinct and some ideas and a whole lot of faith.
So what's the most important quality a writer can possess? What do writers have in common?
There are a lot that spring to mind, but I'm going with determination.
What about you?

About Other French
Vin de Pays(vahn duh peh-YEE)
One of the lower levels in the French Classification system, Vin de Pays is an intermediary wine, created for vineyards who were not quite AC, but vastly superior to Vin de Table wine. Vin de Pays has restrictions similar to the AC, but on a lesser scale. Regulations include specified region, minimum alcohol level and grape varieties. The wine also goes through a tasting panel. Some winemakers able to make wine at an AC level, instead choose to create wine at the Vin de Pays level as it allows more flexibility in grape varieties and yields. There are five regional Vin de Pays, with the most popular being Vin Pays d'Oc (from Languedoc & Roussillon). Vin de Pays wines offer wonderful value and good wine finds.

Why Can't She Just Be Honest?
Why is it that women drag out relationships? Why is it that women can't be honest and just say that they do not like the person? At the same time, why do women expect the opposite from men? DJ
DJ, great question. Women are only doing themselves a disservice in not being honest. Unfortunately, women are often taught to be polite and women are also conditioned to be afraid of confrontation. These two characteristics combined often result in a woman who does not speak her mind. That's often why women stay in the wrong relationship. They may stay because they have low self-esteem, and either don't think they can find better even though what they are in doesn't work, or they are afraid to be on their own. They also might think they can change the other person, which is a recipe for disaster. It is unfair that women want honesty, and often can't be honest themselves. I do agree with you that it should be a two-way street with honesty.

OK, so Gloria's isn't your typical reggaeton-pumping Latin club, but when it opens its dance floor each Friday and Saturday for an all-night salsa dancing sweat-fest, it's tough to find a more electric place anywhere in town. Whether the amazing Cuban band Havana NRG or the delicious (and deceptively strong) margaritas remove the most inhibitions, it's hard to say. To be certain, though, the opportunity to dance with beautiful women is enough to inspire any guy to learn as much as he can at the salsa lessons they start the night with. And look out ladies, because there are plenty of seasoned salsa pros out there ready to sweep you off your feet.
Summers in Texas can be brutal, so patio-sittin isnt exactly a popular pastime in the hot months. That is, unless youre a regular at Bolsa near Oak Cliffs Bishop Arts District. Bolsas covered patio is an oasis with its huge fans, generous misters and adventurous cocktails. The Betty Draper, a blend of Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream and Macallan scotch, is one of the menus most popular drinks, but if thats too fancy for you, a cold Lone Star for $2.50 will hit the spot. On crowded nights, the patios limited space and picnic table seating will have you up close and personal with hipsters, young and old. But none of Bolsas regulars seem to mindafter all, Texas is the friendly state.
You want to watch a movie? How about two? Well, they start at 8:15 p.m. (or so) Wednesdays at Tradewinds Social Club. (Hence the name Tradewinds Cinema Club.) George Baum—master of the turntables in late-night watering holes like Lee Harvey's—serves as the TCC master of ceremonies and creates weekly themes such as French flicks (Amelie and Delicatessen) for Bastille Day and "Really Bad People" Movie Night (The Bad Seed and Touch of Evil). But c'mon, we all know one of the best things about Tradewinds is the people watching, and frankly, that just doesn't change when you project a movie onto the wall. Picture it: the usual crowd of Cliff dwellers and hipsters, plus die-hard fans who mouth all the dialogue, then throw in the dude who can't follow what's happening and the totally oblivious chick who walks in right when the girl sets the caretaker on fire. Now that's something to watch.
You need to play whirly ball. That's just all there is to it. We can tell you that after grabbing a beer at the bar and getting briefed by a Whirly Ball Dallas professional (most assuredly with a shady nickname), you will walk into a strange gym-like room and board a bumper car that has a crank instead of a steering wheel. We could tell you that while "driving" said car you'll toss around a whiffle ball using a lacrosse-like scoop and aim the ball at the target on a net-less electronic backboard. But that doesn't convey the bizarrely sudden competitive spirit that seizes your soul and compels you to contort your upper body in ways you didn't know you could just to snatch a little ball away from an opposing team member...while verbally taunting them. Or how incredibly fun it is to spend any amount of time acting like a total freak on the court.
We have a theory about how the drinking game quarters, in which you attempt to bounce a 25-cent piece into a beer cup, was invented. Someone really wanted to play a round of Ms. Pac-Man or Q*Bert and was making do with a situation wherein they had the change but no arcade game to stick it in. Fortunately, that will never be a problem at Barcadia, where your love of skee-ball and old-school stand-up arcade classics and your hatred for the health of your liver can both be satisfied. Trust us, there are few things more entertaining than watching a grown man punch Spy Hunter's toy steering wheel out of whiskey-fueled, video-game-instigated anger. It's way more fun than drinking coin-flavored beer.
As Downtown Dallas creeps closer and closer to regaining its status as a top entertainment destination among the city's many, many options, the neighborhood is facing some roadblocks. There are just too many carbon-copy ultra lounge establishments that have popped up on Main Street in recent years; we have a hard time keeping track of them all. Thank God, then, for City Tavern, a downtown bar and restaurant that is the polar opposite of the lush venues that surround it. There are no frills at this place, called "the Tavern" by its regulars. And it's working in the bar's favor, too: Whereas the security at the clubs surrounding the City Tavern carefully calculate how many people to allow in from the glitzy lines gathered outside their spots, so as to keep up a demand for entry, the Tavern needs no such tricks. Its patrons walk in and out with nonchalance, and, when gathered out front for a cigarette or simply to gawk at the lemmings in line for the competition, its sidewalk crowds often end up being bigger.

Timmins, 44, is beginning his 12th season with the Canadiens. He runs the club's amateur scouting department and is the architect of the Canadiens' recent success at the draft table.
Timmins came to the Canadiens from Ottawa. During his 10 years with the Senators, Timmins rose from the scouting department to become the team's director of hockey operations.
Timmins has a phys ed degree and an MBA from Queen's University. He also has a master's in sports administration from the University of Ottawa.
Donald Audette, who's 43, played 14 seasons with six NHL teams. During his three seasons with the Canadiens, Audette played under head coach Michel Therrien.
Audette is general manager of the Collège Esther-Blondin Midget AAA team. He is a frequent guest on L'Antichambre and proud father of Daniel Audette, who starred for the midget team and was the Q's first overall draft choice, going to the league's new Sherbrooke franchise.
Mowers, 38, played 278 NHL games with four teams. He has also played professionally in Switzerland and Sweden.
Mowers was most recently a between-periods analyst on NESN's telecasts of Boston Bruins games.
Here's the official release from the Canadiens on the news:
MONTRÉAL (August 17, 2012) – Montreal Canadiens Executive vice president and general manager, Marc Bergevin announced today the contract extension of Trevor Timmins as director of amateur scouting. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The Club also announced the appointment of Donald Audette as amateur scout in Quebec, as well as Mark Mowers as professional scout (Eastern Conference)."The Montreal Canadiens organization is very proud of the work that Trevor Timmins has done in terms of player scouting and development over his time with the team, and we are very happy to count on his services for years to come. We agree with Trevor and his group on the necessity of adding an amateur scout in Quebec, and we are pleased to welcome Donald Audette, who will now occupy this position for the team. Donald has vast experience to lend to the position, both from his NHL/Canadiens playing days and from his time in a management role in the Midget AAA circuit, where he added to his knowledge and skills through his involvement with Hockey Québec and Hockey Canada " said Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin.
Trevor Timmins, who completed in 2011-12 his 11th season with the Canadiens, is responsible for overseeing and directing the Canadiens' amateur scouting system, including the annual NHL Entry Draft and amateur free-agent recruitment. Under his guidance the Canadiens have drafted, among others, Alexei Emelin, Max Pacioretty, Carey Price, P.K. Subban, Yannick Weber and Ryan White. A native of Almonte, Ontario, Timmins started his career as a manager in the NHL in 1992 with the Ottawa Senators.
Donald Audette enjoyed a 15-year career in the NHL, suiting up for six teams, including three with the Canadiens from 2001 to 2004. Audette played 735 career games totaling 509 points (260 goals, 249 assists) and 584 penalty minutes. He also participated in 73 playoff contests, recording 48 points (21 goals, 27 assists) and 46 penalty minutes.
Donald Audette played his junior hockey with the Laval Titan in the QMJHL between 1986 and 1989, recording 309 points (141 goals and 168 assists) in 199 games. Drafter in the ninth round, 183rd overall by the Buffalo Sabres at the 1989 NHL Entry Draft, he began his professional hockey career at age 20 with Buffalo's AHL farm team, the Rochester Americans. He played one full season with Rochester before making it to the NHL in 1990-91.
Now 42, Donald Audette will begin in 2012-13 his third season with the Phénix du Collège Esther-Blondin in the Ligue de hockey midget AAA du Québec, as governor and general manager. Very involved within Hockey Québec and Hockey Canada, he will serve as head coach of Team Québec at the 2013 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, to be held in Victoriaville and Drummondville (Québec) from December 29, 2012 and January 4, 2013.
Audette was invited as a coach at Canada's National Men's Summer Under-18 Team selection camp, from last August 3 to 6 at the MasterCard Centre in Toronto.
In seven seasons in the NHL, Mark Mowers produced 62 points (18 goals, 44 assists) in 278 regular season games. Born in Decatur, Georgia, the centre suited up for Nashville, Detroit, Boston and Anaheim. Now 38, Mowers retired from hockey after the 2010-11 season, as a member of Fribourg-Gotteron of the Swiss National League.

Good day chaps.
Although I witnessed a borderline obese negro gentleman by the name of J Toney, recently take a choking from a superior wrestler - as a practitioner of the royal art, I suggest that boxing is a far superior martial art than any of the other striking disciplines, or any of the ground skills. For far too long have the pugilists been overwhelmed by the UFC hype machine, with their penchant for wrestling & BJJ masturbation.
The element of surprise was the only winning formula for the MMA arena and ground fighters had that in abundance. Those days have now gone. Please refer to my esteemed colleague Junior Dos Santos if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
Cambridge Pugilist.

Touchdown Horns!
Now please play some defense.
Even easier. All Texas needs to do is protect the ball and they'll win this game. Turnovers are the only way the WVU defense can get a stop while Texas is better suited to get some stops at home, even against the explosive WVU offense
What in the world.....special teams are sucking!!!!
Really? Way to make it easy on your defense.
Doesn't it look familiar? What is Decamillis coaching Texas?
Nice stop, but they'll probably go for it.
Wow what a play!!!!!
Does anyone know where I can watch online...such in a hotel with no Fox...can you imagine that
What a dumb decision by Holgorsen. Like a FG is gonna do anything. You have a great offense on 4th and short
Yeah I was shocked they didn't go for it.
Pass protection is pretty good....run blocking not so much.
Thanks so much!!
This defense is a joke.
Note to Texas...you might want to cover Austin.
Whooo look at that breakaway speed. Turned on the jets
Bunch of these players gonna play on Sundays.
you are very welcome.

Because I lack a television at home and was unable to watch Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Cosmos premier on Fox this weekend,* I find myself in need of another subject for this week's Science On Religion article. Here's one: It is, unfortunately, an election year. Already, newspapers and columnists are greedily discussing the likelihoods for this November's outcomes, with perhaps more energy devoted to the unpleasant possibilities than the pleasant ones (depending on how each publication or writer evaluates these things). As always, citizens across the country will rally around tribal identities and partisan allegiances, and our inboxes will positively flood with emails from people who Want Our Money. But in the coming years, I foresee some big shifts in the alliances that hold together our current political and intellectual cultures. Changes are coming. Let me help you get ready for them.

Rounded edge
The rounded edge editions have been specially cut to give a smooth-to-touch edge.
Not only will it look and feel great, but reduces the chance of the sides cracking if dropped - providing excellent protection.
No loss of multi-touch display response
A number of screen protectors can harm the responsiveness of your screen, however this Sony Xperia C4 screen protector will not affect your screen's responsiveness in any way - allowing you to enjoy the same ease of use as before you applied the screen protector.
Easy to apply and remove
Some screen protectors can be fiddly to apply, but not with this one. You will be able to apply your screen protector without any dirt becoming trapped or any air bubbles surfacing.

Hannity, Malkin invent contradiction between Obama statement, official's testimony
Blog ››› ››› FAE JENCKS
On tonight's edition of Fox News' Hannity, Michelle Malkin and Sean Hannity launched an attack on the Obama administration, claiming that the president is implicated in the Rod Blagojevich corruption scandal, and alleging that recent testimony proved that Obama had "lie[d] to the American people" about his involvement.
Hannity and Malkin seized upon SEIU Local 1 chapter head Tom Balanoff's testimony at Blagojevich's trial. Balanoff testified that he had spoken with Obama on the eve of the election about Obama's preferred criteria for choosing a successor for his Senate seat, and that Balanoff told Obama that he would pass his comments on to Blagojevich.
Malkin and Hannity suggest that this "bombshell" testimony indicates that Obama "was far more engaged in the process than he's let on." Hannity also suggests that "the president of the United States, through his counsel, lie[d] to the American people when he said he had no contact with Blagojevich, no contact with his staff."
But Hannity's claim is false on its face: Balanoff is not a member of Blagojevich's staff, so his conversation with Obama cannot contradict the December 2008 report by Obama lawyer Greg Craig that the President-elect "had no contact or communication with Governor Blagojevich or members of his staff about the Senate seat." The fact that Obama talked with Balanoff about his criteria for a Senate replacement does not invalidate the findings of Craig's report.
In fact, Balanoff's testimony serves to corroborate Craig's report.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported of Balanoff's testimony:
Top union leader Thomas Balanoff said he was at dinner the night before the November Presidential election when he got a call that was blocked.
So he didn't take it.
Later he listened to his messages: "I walked outside, listened to it and it was from President Obama," Balanoff said.
"Tom, this is Barack, give me a call," the soon-to-be President-Elect said on the message.
After Balanoff sent word through an Obama aide to call him back, Obama returned his call later that night.
"Tom, i want to talk to you with regard to the Senate seat," Obama told him.
Balanoff said Obama said he had two criteria: someone who was good for the citizens of Illinois and could be elected in 2010.
Obama said he wasn't publicly coming out in support of anyone but he believed Valerie Jarrett would fit the bill.
"I would much prefer she (remain in the White House) but she does want to be Senator and she does meet those two criteria," Balanoff said Obama told him. "I said: 'thank you, I'm going to reach out to Gov. Blagojevich."
While Hannity and Malkin highlight a portion of the report which states that Obama "had no contact or communication with Governor Blagojevich or members of his staff about the Senate seat," and falsely claim this is contradicted by the Balanoff testimony, they skip over the next statement that, in turn, serves to further invalidate their claims. The Craig report acknowledges that "[i]n various conversations with transition staff and others, the President-Elect expressed his preference that Valerie Jarrett work with him in the White House. He also stated that he would neither stand in her way if she wanted to pursue the Senate seat nor actively seek to have her or any other particular candidate appointed to the vacancy." Balanoff himself testified that Obama "would much prefer" Jarrett work with him at the White House, but said that she met his qualifications for the post.
It is also important to note that even though Obama discussed the Senate appointment with Balanoff, that in no way implicates him in Blagojevich's attempts to sell the Senate seat. In fact, according to the Chicago Sun-Times report, "Blagojevich told Balanoff -- who had Obama's blessing to act as an emissary for Jarrett -- to find a way to set up a new advocacy group Blagojevich would one day head, the union leader testified. And, in exchange, Blagojevich would appoint Jarrett." However, Balanoff stated in his testimony that he "never intended to pass on the message" to President-elect Obama.
Though Malkin and Hannity allege that there were "quid pro quos going on," no evidence has emerged that suggests that Obama or his staff were a part of any such deal. In fact, all available evidence, including Balanoff's testimony, Greg Craig's investigation, and Blagojevich's statements about Obama (who he criticized for being "not willing to give me anything except appreciation") indicates the opposite.
Further, this is not the first time that Sean Hannity has claimed that the president was involved in illegal activity, despite all indicators pointing otherwise. In May, Hannity devoted an entire show to the debunked claim that the administration's job discussion with Rep. Joe Sestak was illegal. He also promoted the falsehood that Andrew Romanoff said he was promised a job by the Obama administration. It's time someone told Sean Hannity, three strikes and you're out.

Epicanthal foldsPlica palpebronasalis
An epicanthal fold is skin of the upper eyelid that covers the inner cornerof the eye. The fold runs from nose to the inner side of the eyebrow.
An epicanthal fold is normal in people of Asian descent.
An epicanthal fold is also common in children with Down syndrome.
Epicanthal folds may be seen in young children of any race before the bridge of the nose begins to rise.
Epicanthal folds may be normal for people of Asiatic descent and some non-Asian infants. However, it may also be due to certain medical conditions, including:
- Down syndrome
- Fetal alcohol syndrome
- Turner syndrome
- Phenylketonuria (PKU)
- Williams syndrome
- Noonan syndrome
- Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome
- Blepharophimosis syndrome
Home Care
There is usually no home care needed.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
This trait is usually found before or during the first well-baby exam. Call your health care provider if you notice epicanthal folds on your child's eyes and the reason for their presence is unknown.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
The doctor or nurse will examine the patient and ask questions about the medical history and symptoms. Questions may include:
- Do any family members have Down syndrome or other genetic disorder?
- Isthere a family history of intellectual disability or birth defects?
A child who is not Asian and is born with epicanthal folds may be examined for additional signs of Down syndrome or other genetic disorders.

Kellan Lutz slams Perez Hilton for 'rude' & false Miley Cyrus hookup rumor
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Kellan Lutz is slamming Perez Hilton for continuing to spread the false rumor that the actor and Miley Cyrus are hooking up.
On Thursday, the blogger published a story with the eloquent headline, "Miley Cyrus & Kellan Lutz Might Only Be Friends, But She's Apparently Cashing In On Sex Benefits!"
Perez quoted a supposed "insider" as saying, "She says she's using him for sex, but she's starting to care about him. He just sees her as another conquest."
Lutz took to Twitter to call out the so-called "reporter" for the sleazy story, thanking a follower for telling Perez to "shut up!"
The Hercules star added, "I find Perez and his 'insiders' very inappropriate. Just rude."
Actually, Perez stole this story from Star, so the "insiders" are not his own, but that doesn't make it any better.

Hope you all are having as good a Saturday night as Zevon did when writing "Carmelita."
You are here: Home » General » Saturday
Hope you all are having as good a Saturday night as Zevon did when writing "Carmelita."
Don't you ever get the weekend off?
Go out! Put a head on a pike, or something, for FSM's sake.
Hey, I'm all strung out on heroin at the outskirts of town.
Given that, what do you expect of me?
The outskirts of Kingston?? It doesn't have outskirts. It doesn't even have inskirts.
I don't live in Kingston, thank higher power of your choice.
Is "Carmelita" / "tighter" intended as a rhyme?
The "outskirts" seem as fictional as "Ensenada" — the song is plainly set on Los Angeles, which is too big to have outskirts.
…set IN LA, that is.
No. He's thinking of being with her in Ensenada but now he's here in Echo Park which isn't that far away from the Pioneered Chicken stand on Alvarado. Great song
Really between this and Roland as my favorite Zevon song. Depends on my mood since the two songs are of totally different moods.
One of my favorite memories is of a college friend of mine calling me from California, while he was off working as an organizer, to tell me he was AT the Pioneer Chicken stand. That and actually eating at Lee Ho Fook's in London.
From the liner notes to the fantastic "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" compilation: "People always told me the Pioneer Chicken Stand wasn't on Alvarado Street. Really."
This made my Saturday: http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_politics/2013/02/brown_out_gop_mulls_romney_energy
Ann Romney is so hugely popular that she should run for Senate in MA.
When considering the folks who wrote this, you seriously have to ask: What's the line you won't cross? This has gone so far into the realm of fiction that these writers have given up any claim to being journalists.
"I've had several people call me and ask about Ann Romney," Ron Kaufman, a longtime friend and aide to the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 presidential candidate nominee, told the Herald.
That's more than three.
Remember who owns the Herald.
Also that Ron Kaufman is a congenital liar (seriously, no hyperbole).
The Globe is the establishment blue state3/blue politics paper in MA. The Herald barely hangs on by being the journal of the angry white men. They're a distinct minority in MA.
After spending my entire childhood mystified by the direction to "look away, down, Gower Avenue/Look away…" in Desperadoes Under the Eaves (and not understanding it was a street name exactly) I was really excited to randomly go there on the way to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles on my first trip to LA. I wonder has the neighborhood gentrified, or could you still cop near the Pioneer Chicken stand? Where is it at? Oh, and how does he have a "pearl-handled deck"? I get that he's playing solitaire because he's not sharing with Carmelita (dick move, dude), but how's it pearl-handled? Double-glassine envelope? Hella shiny packaging? You guys are probably not the people to ask. I mean, I love you and all, but.
I mean, I've seen lame-ass speculation that he's playing Russian roulette but NO! Because there are alternate versions of the lyrics that have him pawning his "Smith & Wesson" rather than his "Smith Corona," and though that's admittedly one verse later, that's too many references to the same gun. Maybe his deck of heroin was laced with something? It was the 70s. I should ask my dad, he knows all this stuff.
They put ground-up quaaludes on everything back then, it was like sprinkles, or dippin' dots or some shit.
Also known as the good ol'days.
AUDIENCE: Play "Carmelita"!
WARREN: I would rather stick things in my eye.
He hated it? I saw him play when I was…well, not a kid but like a young teen, and he was sober. But the gig was at a bar in South Carolina. OK, a "'"club"'". We got to put in requests and I'm pretty sure I requested "Carmelita." Maybe I requested "The French Inhaler"? I know he played my request. But Jesus, there were like 40 people there total, who's going to be mean to the starry-eyed 13-year-old (raises hand nervously…"um…Warren Zevon?"). One of my family members got his autograph for me ("to Belle") at the 12-step meeting they were both attending, after explaining who I was from the bar. But like a dumbass I decided folding it up and putting it at the front of a book would be a good place to keep it but then… If the lesson was to own fewer books I failed to learn it.

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 5, 2013) — Legislation authored by State Sen. Doug Eckerty (R-Yorktown) to protect Hoosier homeowners passed the Senate this week by a unanimous vote.
Senate Bill 152 would assist homeowners who have successfully appealed an assessor's overvaluation of their property. If the Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals (PTABOA) set a home's value on an appeal by a taxpayer, the local assessor must provide proof if he or she values the home above the board's finding in a later assessment.
"Essentially, we have shifted the burden of proof from the homeowner to the county or township assessor making the original assessment," Eckerty said. "That assessor must now substantiate his proof with the PTABOA to ensure the values of homes and property are not overestimated. This will save homeowners from having to appeal their assessments year after year."
SB 152 now moves to the House of Representatives for further consideration. Rep. Bill Davis (R-Portland) is its sponsor.

description: Jonny Phillips investigates the theory that—if powerful enough—a magnet can erase a laptop's hard drive.

title: I Didn't Know That: Can Magnets Harm Computers?

allowUserEmbed: True

transcript:
JONNY PHILLIPS: Magnets.  A lot of fun but pretty harmless.  Or are they?  Could it be possible for this small bar of metal to wipe the memory off this laptop, destroying my life's work?
The theory is that if you leave your laptop near a sufficiently big magnet it will erase or scramble everything on its hard drive.  To understand how this could happen, we need to go back to basics.
Hard drives store information magnetically.
You can see how this magnet can change the directions of these iron filings.
Well, a hard drive works in a similar way.  The disc is coated with a magnetically sensitive material that can be re-orientated by this read-write head to form numerous patterns the machine interprets as information.
This information can be added to or deleted in the form of programs, text and images. So if it's susceptible to an internal magnetic source, surely it should be affected by an external one? But just how powerful does the magnet have to be?
This is a kid's toy.  Its two small elliptical magnets that rattle together.
Noisy. But not very powerful.  The question is, would they bother our machine?
The effect - if there's to be one - will be instantaneous.
That doesn't seem to be doing anything.  This is roughly where the hard drive is ... so, no.  This obviously isn't working.  We're gonna have to up the ante, and use a bigger magnet.
This is a gauss meter, which measures magnetic force.  It shows this big magnet is over three times more powerful than the toys. It can pick up several hundred paperclips without a sweat.  Let's give it a go.
So, no. Now I'm slightly relieved my data's still in tact, but in the interests of science, I'm gonna give the magnet a bit of a boost.
By wrapping a coil of wire around a magnet and passing a current through it, you create a more powerful electro-magnet.  In this case around 30% stronger than before.
But our little computer didn't even blink.  It was time to get really serious. This company builds massive electro-magnets - the type used to pick up cars in scrap yards.  Surprisingly, it's only twice as powerful as our small home made job, but can apply that force over a much larger area.
After 22 seconds of raw electro-magnetic force had it survived?
I powered it up and....nothing.  Was it really dead?  We had to be sure, so we had it checked out by a computer data retrieval company.
COMPUTER TECHNICIAN: This one's dead.
JONNY PHILLIPS:  By scrambling every particle on the surface of the disk, the big magnet had instantly wiped out every operating program, and every file stored on the computer.  There was literally no information left for it to read. But it had taken some fairly extreme measures to achieve it.
So it seems our magnetic data is safe from everyday life, just be sure to avoid any giant electro-magnets.

OTTAWA HILLS, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say a northwest Ohio high school senior was driving drunk when he was killed in a fiery one-car crash last weekend.
The Lucas County coroner said Monday that 18-year-old Brian Hoeflinger's blood alcohol level was 0.15 percent when he drove his car off a road and struck a tree in the village of Ottawa Hills near Toledo Friday night.
The legal limit for drivers under 21 in Ohio is 0.02 percent, and it's 0.08 percent for older drivers.
The (Toledo) Blade (http://bit.ly/YQAn6F ) reports that someone who showed up at the crash scene told police that he had knowledge that Hoeflinger was drinking before the crash. The state highway patrol is investigating.
School district officials had counselors at Ottawa Hills Junior-Senior High School Monday to help students and staff members cope with his death.

Anecdotes are the heart and soul of interviews—they are those wonderful little stories we all love reading. But how do you get those anecdotes? Author John Brady writes, "If he says, 'I owe my 40 years of marriage to absolute understanding and compatibility,' ask him, 'What do you mean by understanding and compatibility? Can you give me some examples?'" Asking follow-up questions is important because it lets the subject know you're genuinely curious and interested in what they're saying. Although you have a prepared list of questions, don't be afraid to follow one of your subject's comments off into unexpected territory. If this is your first interview, you may feel nervous and awkward. Take heart. You'll improve with practice. When you think the interview is over, ask one last question: "Is there anything else I should have asked you?" You'll be surprised at the great information this question elicits.
