This is a time of year when pundits pontificate pointlessly about ''the national character''. I reckon the best way to analyse the national character is to identify our national characters - the public people who intrigue, inspire and infuriate as they perform their roles in the Australian drama.
So here's 26 (or so) for the 26th (on the 27th) - my attempt at a definitive alphabet of Aussie archetypes. Some are fictional, some are factual and some are in-between. Some are dead but still living in our imagination; some are not human, but no less illustrative of who we are.
A is for Julian Assange, the stirrer, the latest in a grand tradition of Aussie mischief-makers abroad.
B is for Lara Bingle, the beach girl. She's never going to teach astrophysics, but if her ambition is to fill a bikini, she's a success.
C is for Chopper (Read), the charismatic crim who will one day be called the Ned Kelly of the 20th century. Portraying him launched Eric Bana into a career of villains, losers, best friends and almost-heroes.
D is for Anh Do, the comic from Vietnam, arriving when we had boundless plains to share, who is now our most beloved boatperson.
E is for Edna Everage. We wished we had a grandmother like her.
F is for John Farnham, still on his farewell tour.
G is for Peter Garrett, who once symbolised idealism, activism and blunt speaking, and now symbolises the compromises of politics.
H is for Bob Hawke, the silver bodgie, who held the world record for beer-skoling before attempting the world record for crying on TV.
I is for Ita (Buttrose), who plays her own role better than Asher Keddie, and symbolises the success since the '70s of smart, sexy sheilas.
J is for Clive James, the Kogarah kid who outsmarted the snobs and wankers of Europe.
K is for Kenny, as played by Shane Jacobsen, and Darryl Kerrigan, as played by Michael Caton, and Paul Keating, as played by Paul Keating - three semi-mythical figures with elegant turns of phrase.
L is for Louie the Fly, who keeps making comebacks, which suggests either he's immortal or Mortein does not work.
M is for Muriel, played by Toni Collette, the dag who triumphs despite advice that she's terrible, and Mad Max, the desert avenger played by Mel Gibson before we withdrew his Australian identity.
N is for Bert Newton, who rose from sidekick status to icon-in-his-own-right, a master of the Aussie art of self-mockery.
O is for 'Oges, the boozing, chundering, smoking, swearing ocker created by Paul Hogan before he became Croc Dundee. 'Oges symbolises the Australia from which we haven't quite evolved.
P is for Kerry Packer, portrayed by Lachy Hulme and Rob Carlton as a bullied boy who grew up to be a bully boy.
Q is for the Queen of Australia, by which we do not mean Gina Rinehart but Elizabeth Windsor. Is she an Aussie, is she, Lizzie? We think so. Can't say the same about her son, though.
R is for Red Dog, as portrayed by the recently deceased Koko, who demonstrated loyalty to a distant master - just like Australians at Gallipoli in 1916. And Julie Rafter, as portrayed by Rebecca Gibney, the matriarch of the modern suburban family in the most suburbanised nation on Earth.
S is for Skippy, as portrayed by 16 different kangaroos in performances that convinced us it would be a sin to eat an animal that can play the drums, open a safe, dial a phone and communicate in complex clicks. S is also for Dick Smith, our most stimulating ratbag, and Sharon Strzelecki, as portrayed by Magda Szubanski, a model of the innocent enthusiasm that is Australia's most endearing quality.
T is for Malcolm Turnbull, the angry intellectual. He's the man who never was and never will be, too much of an individualist to lead any party for very long. There's a chance he'll be our first president.
U is for Keith Urban, the traitor. A symptom of our tall poppy syndrome is an aversion to Aussies who big-note themselves overseas. Before The Voice, we vaguely knew Urban as the wild Queensland boy whose addictive personality was soothed by the love of a good woman. On The Voice, we learnt he was smart, charming and generous. Now that he's got the big bucks on American Idol, he's ready for lopping.
V is for Jean Valjean, not an Australian but definitively portrayed by Hugh Jackman, the all-rounder who shows how, in the past two decades, the cultural cringe has been replaced by the cultural strut. Anything they can do, we can do better, and Hugh is our chosen champion.
W is for Shane Warne, the mug-lair who is the envy of every Australian male because he can behave like a hoon and get away with it.
X is for the X-Factorians, all the young warblers who are finalists in the TV talent quests with which Australians are obsessed, and who fill ''Where are they now'' programs three years later. Remember Bonnie Anderson, Wes Carr, Altiyan Childs, Andrew da Silva, Kate de Aurago, Sarah de Bono, Casey Donovan, Natalie Gauci, Reece Mastin, Darren Percival, Joe Robinson, Jack Vidgen, Mark Vincent? May their career trajectories be an inspiration or a lesson to you.
Y is for Mandawuy Yunupingu, the cultural pioneer who blended Aboriginal music with American rhythm and blues in Yothu Yindi and made rock fans think about the concept of a treaty. The word Yunupingu means ''rock that stands against time''.
Z is for Adriano Zumbo, spreader of the macaron, who symbolises how immigration made us a nation of gourmets or possibly gluttons.

I picked up this on the www.apfn.net
there is some truth in this report as I live in Oregon. There was some really bizarre weather yesterday. Very strange snow, sleet, hail and rain during the days.
I wouldn't be surprised since the government calls Oregon the "Little Beruit"
Get ready folks in the northwest!!!
Portland 3/11/09 exercises preparing for martial law?
This evening I received the message below from W. Leon Smith, my publisher at The Lone Star Iconoclast. While it is impossible -- without further information -- to evaluate this, it is nevertheless of concern to me. It should be of particular concern to those readers living in the Portland/Seattle area.
As many of you know, I've rated Portland as the tertiary US false flag target, behind Houston and Chicago. For more, search my article "False Flag Prospects, 2008."
A couple of other things come to mind... One is that 3/11, the date identified below as the start day for the exercises, is the fifth anniversary of the Madrid bombings -- and we all know how much the NWO kooks like repeat dates. I just published an article about date coding, easily found with the search phrase "USA 666 WMD"
The other is that NASA is sending up a shuttle on 3/11. The simulated nuke that Ghost Troop documented just south of Houston on 7/28/05 came after the 7/26/05 launch of Space Shuttle Discovery, which was the first shuttle flight after the Columbia explosion three years earlier. The interview transcript should be listening for those who suspect that NASA is a military operation at heart, and that the government can and will do what it wants as the media shuts the matter up: [

Any feedback related to my thoughts above or Mr. Smith's report and questions below would be most welcome! Thanks, Captain May

To: "Captain May"
Date: Monday, March 9, 2009, 6:24 PM
Capt. May,
I have just been told by an anonymous source that U.S. Navy Exercises (NW TRAINING COMPLEX) are being planned to begin on March 11 in the Portland area that will include the states of Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada, Alaska, and other areas, as well, and that these are unpublicized exercises. Also, I was told that the Navy has refused to follow through on considering normal environmental impacts of the weapon tests that are planned.
I was told that contracts have been issued for bottled water, prisons have been established on boxcars, and that there are a lot of Blackwater-type mercenaries in those areas.
Also, I was informed that the weaponry fired will include DU rounds, red, white and yellow phosphorus, CHFF particulates, RDX, and HDX, and MOAS 1, 2 and 3 (I don't know what these last ones are).
The person calling me was female, and claimed to be a teacher, Girl Scout leader, and a wildlife naturalist. She said that as we were speaking it was snowing at her location in Portland and that the consistency of the snow was not normal ("very heavy"). She said that as a longtime resident there she knows a lot about how snow falls and what it looks like and this is not normal. She said, "I know snow." She was concerned about HAARP weather weaponry being used there. She said that she didn't know what they were, but several people have commented about seeing chemtrails.
She said that there are a lot of people there who are worried, but there is no organizing entity for them to share their concerns. Anyone addressing authorities is usually ridiculed.
She said that there are forest areas that previously available to the public are no more, and a lot of road building is taking place in wilderness areas. Prison contractors are going up an down roads building things, she said. Regular hunters and tourists are being scared away from park-type areas due to machine gun fire. Big black helicopters have been involved in starting forest fires, but this is covered up. When patients who have been shot are brought into emergency rooms, doctors are refusing to document the weaponry used.
She said that HUD is selling off its property in Portland and a huge portion of HUD's budget is being redirected for CIA and FEMA. She said that some of the contractors in Portland are the same folks who impoded Building 7.
Bechel (I'm not sure I spelled this right) is being issued no-bid contracts to rebuild bridges, she said.
She said she is also concerned about HR 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, which could negative impact the food supply. Also, she said that the National Guard has been removed from this area, which she feels makes Portland residents sitting ducks.
I am wondering if, indeed, there are military exercises gearing up for March 11 in this area, and,if so, is the caller correct in that there could be negative environmental impacts? What is the true nature of these exercises, including the duration and scope, and exactly who are involved? What is the mission and where exactly is this taking place? Where is command HQ, who is in charge, and why are the exercises being conducted? Who authorized them?
What the caller said sounds very severe. We need to learn more. I just now got off the phone with her, so I have not yet been able to follow up, but thought this should go out to others who might already know about this and can answer some of the questions.

Jamie Foxx Gossip
Jamie Foxx gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The Annie trailer
The first trailer for the new Annie movie was released yesterday starring Quvenzhane Wallis, Jamie Foxx, and Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan. God I want it to be good. I want it to be good so bad, SO BAD. But this trailer is scaring the sh-t out of me. Let's start with Cameron Diaz. I don't believe her. Full Story
Mrs Timberlake: Oscar one colour
Fame, Kevin Winter/ Michael Buckner/ Getty Images
Mrs Timberlake wore Chanel Haute Couture, pretty much right off the runway. And since Chanel dresses so few people, it was certainly some kind of statement – she doesn't have to wear Cavalli. Fine. But if I were Karl Lagerfeld, I'd reconsider for next time. Because she managed to make Chanel totally unremarkable. Full Story
Katie's front row friends
Larry Busacca/ Getty
Katie Holmes calls herself a fashion designer too, even though she hasn't presented at NYFW for a few seasons. That might be the excuse though if asked why she doesn't support her friend Victoria Beckham at her shows. But she did sit front row at Donna Karan's 30th anniversary last night soooooo… Posh and Katie totally broke up. Full Story
Emma & Andrew are back too
Mike Windle /Getty Images
Just as it's been a while since we've seen the Brange, it's also been months since we've seen Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield out together in LA. Emma spent part of the summer working in France on a Woody Allen film and then the two were in England together in late August/early September celebrating his 30th birthday. Full Story
Celebrity or Tabloid?
On the one hand, IN TOUCH Weekly is pretty unreliable. On the other hand, well, celebrities aren't exactly honest all the time. IN TOUCH reported yesterday that Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes are secretly dating. Jamie denied it on Entertainment Tonight: "[The rumors] are 100 percent not true. Full Story
Katie and Jamie violate the code?
Wenn, Win McNamee/ Getty
Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are supposedly dating. The Source for this story is IN TOUCH Weekly, so make the sound of a broken horn. The magazine claims that the two are all "Mission: Impossible" about their relationship. In my experience legit sources don't speak like that, but whatever. Full Story
The new Annie
AKM-GSI/ Splash, Pacific Coast News
Love this. Quvenzhane Wallis and Jamie Foxx are in New York shooting the Annie movie. This is your first look at the orphan and her Daddy…not Warbucks but Stacks. Benjamin Stacks. Amazing, right? Stop. Annie does not HAVE to have red hair and freckles to sing Tomorrow. All Annie needs to be is alone. Full Story
No excuses from Channing Tatum?
Clemens Bilan/ Getty
White House Down was not a hit for Channing Tatum. He and Jamie Foxx are in Europe right now trying to make up for some of those losses but it won't be enough. WHD is Tatum's first stumble after a series of smash hits. What's his excuse? Will he have an excuse? Armie Hammer had an excuse. Full Story
Marvel rocks Comic-Con 2013: Friday edition
Ethan Miller/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
Is it any surprise? It's their second home. Marvel made an impressive showing on Friday in both Hall H for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and in Ballroom 20 for their TV venture, Agents of SHIELD. First up, the Agents of SHIELD panel in Ballroom 20. Agent Coulson himself, Clark Gregg, got a standing ovation when he was introduced—by far the biggest reaction for any Marvel actor except for Tom Hiddleston, and even then it was pretty close. Full Story
Jamie Foxx blue himself
In other EW-related news, they also had a teaser for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 featuring Jamie Foxx as the villain, Electro. He looks a million times better than Rhys Ifans did as the Lizard, so the sequel is already one up on the reboot. I especially like the way his brain is pulsing in the three seconds in which we get to see him. Full Story
Channing's White House box office
Wenn, FameFlynet, Jamie McCarthy/ Getty
Channing Tatum, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Jamie Foxx were in New York last night at the premiere of White House Down. They're pushing hard the last few days before the movie opens this weekend. Reviews for White House Down are coming out now. They range from terrible Full Story

Scott Armstrong Cumberland—Colchester—Musquodoboit MP looks on as Central Nova MP Peter MacKay, left, and Nova Scotia Minister of Labour and Advanced Education Kelly Regan sign the Canada-Nova Scotia Job Fund Agreement at NSCC Pictou Campus in Stellarton June 30.
©John Brannen - TC MEDIA
It has been a long and winding road, but over a year after it was first announced in the federal budget, Nova Scotia has signed on to the Canada Job Grant.
Kelly Regan, Minister of Labour and Advanced Education, and Peter MacKay, Justice Minister and Attorney General of Canada, on behalf of Jason Kenney, Minister of Employment and Social Development, signed the newly minted Canada-Nova Scotia Job Fund Agreement June 30.
Nova Scotia will get $13.4 million a year for six years for training and employment services under three funding streams.
Regan, who has been working on the file since being sworn in last year, said there were numerous meetings and negotiations with Kenney.
"We worked hard to negotiate the best possible deal for Nova Scotians, one that our businesses could afford and that would preserve funding for proven programs that help our most vulnerable people," she said. "This agreement will allow us to move forward with training and supports that help Nova Scotians find and retain good jobs here in the province."
The current Labour Market Agreements, created in 2007, are being transformed into the new Canada Job Fund. Nationally, the Government of Canada will continue to provide $500 million annually to the provinces and territories for investments in skills training through the Canada Job Fund. Nova Scotia will continue to receive approximately $13 million—its per capita share of the $500 million.
The fund will be for short-duration training provided by an eligible third-party trainer, such as community colleges, career colleges, trade union centres and private trainers. Training can be provided in a classroom, on site at a workplace or online.
That's something to look forward to, according to NSCC Pictou Principal Dave Freckleton.
"As employers get more into the program, they'll see what kind of training needs to take place," he said. "As the skills training agency of the province, we're ready for more students."
The agreement also provides funding for the Labour Market Agreements for Persons with Disabilities, representing an investment of $222 million per year by the Government of Canada in the provinces and territories.
"This new agreement will improve the employment prospects for persons with disabilities and will help Nova Scotia businesses fill jobs," said Community Services Minister Joanne Bernard. "The full inclusion of people with disabilities in our community is one of my highest priorities. It will not only improve their quality of life, it will also help drive our economy and make Nova Scotia a stronger and more diverse province."
Also funded is the Targeted Initiative for Older Workers (TIOW), a federal-provincial/territorial cost-shared initiative that provides unemployed older workers (normally between the ages of 55 and 64) with employment assistance services, skills upgrading and work experience valued at $75 million over three years.
The TIOW aims to assist unemployed older workers in small communities of 250,000 or less that are experiencing high unemployment and/or significant downsizing or closures to re-integrate into the workforce.
MacKay noted that with free trade agreements between Canada and South Korea and the EU represents a staggering opportunity.
"To ensure the province's prosperity, job openings have to be filled," he said. "The agreements signed today will not only help create jobs and opportunities for Nova Scotians, they will also help develop the skilled workforce Nova Scotia's economy needs."

Torres, Justin. We the Animals
Written in a series of short stories and vignettes, We the Animals is not what you would expect from a coming-of-age story. It delves deeply into the lives of a family continually balancing on the edge. Set in an unknown town in upstate New York, the unnamed seven year-old narrator and his two older brothers, Joel and Manny, experience a freedom foreign to most children their age, roaming the streets day and night while their mother works the graveyard shift and their father disappears for days at a time. What the boys fail to see is the dark reality of their situation; that their freedom is really neglect, their mother's deep love for her children is also a form of her desperation, and their parent's relationship, while passionate, is also volatile and dangerous.
Through glimpses we see the boys experience seemingly traumatic events: learning to swim by being abandoned in deep water, watching their father dig a grave in the backyard for no one in particular, packing up and leaving with their mother only to return after not knowing where to go, and understanding them as nothing extraordinary, as every-day life. As the boys grow they come to learn what it means to be an adult. While the narrator's older brothers fall into their family's vicious cycle of failure, aggression and indifference, he is desperate to separate himself from them, but at what price?
Even though the novel is slim, it packs an emotional punch. If you're a fan of poetry, you will appreciate how Torres structures his novel and delicately navigates the story with a sensitivity that will stay with you long after you have finished it.

Sharing Chores with Husband
I had my son two months ago and will be going back to work next week. I'm really worried about sharing the workload with my husband - right now, I do almost everything: cooking, cleaning up, laundry, and most baby-care chores. Any advice on how we can optimize our time with our baby, each other, and still keep the house from falling apart?
5th March 2014 06:34 AM #2
That's a difficult one. Please try not to worry; it may take a bit of time for you all to adapt but you will both make adjustments and reach a good system soon.
How much will you be working and how much will your husband be working? Will your son be in childcare or will your husband be watching him whilst you are working (some couples split the time looking after the children and working like this but I know it isn't possible for everyone).
One tip is to put together a list of food which is easy to cook. It may help to have your evening meals planned in advance so you know you have all the ingredients ready and have already decided who is cooking the meal (so there are no surprises on the day!). Don't feel guilty if you need to rely more on convenience food for a time - it has its purpose for families in a transition time. Are you able to get a weekly online shop? Then no-one needs to spend time in busy supermarkets. You can sit down with your recipe list and order everything for the week in one go. If this works for you then you can just order the same every week which should save you time.
I think it will help you to plan things out and be quite organised before you fall into a natural rhythm of doing chores and having family time. Block family time out first in your diary so that this priority does not get 'eaten up' by other jobs which inevitably come. You can plan to do something fun together each week with your little one e.g. visit a new park or have a special lunch together.
It's also important to plan some time as a couple each week; lots of couples with children set aside one evening as a 'date night'. This doesn't have to be expensive - you can cook a nice meal together and have candles and music and just enjoy each others' company.
Maybe the house won't be kept to the same standards as before. You have to decide together on the level you are happy with. However, if the house isn't cleaned as frequently as before but you are all enjoying each others company, eating well and getting the basic laundry and cleaning done whilst both working then I think you should be pretty pleased
Many families also rely on extra help (either from family, friends, or paid help) with the household tasks to help them when they have a young baby and are working. Just having a cleaner once or twice a week can really free up a bit of time and stop a stressful situation from building up. Again, I know that this isn't financially possible for everyone.
A bit off-topic, but I was wondering if you were planning on expressing your breastmilk whilst you were at work?
Best wishes,

Hi LJ,
We'll both be working at the same time, and unfortunately, we both work 12 to 13 hour days. I'm quitting as soon as I can, but that won't be for the next 4 months :-(
I definitely am going to express my breastmilk; I've got a good pump and feel comfortable using it - we just have to get the baby comfortable eating from a bottle!
I like the idea of planning out meals for the week and of ordering groceries online - that would be wonderful! There's a business that delivers ingredients for specific meals, too, so even though it's a little expensive, we might have to try that.
We also might have to look into a house cleaner too!
All great advice; thanks again LJ!

Dear Kristen,
I was thinking about this some more today and I also wondered if you could make lots of meals in advance (cook large quantities of stews, curries etc) and put them in the freezer ready for when you are back at work.
Yes I've heard of a company that delivers the ingredients for certain recipes - sounds nice.
How is your baby getting on with drinking from a bottle? Did you know that there are some bottles designed to simulate the latching on of breastfeeding - and exclusively breastfed babies often get on with these better (Medela make one called Breastflow and there are other makes I believe).
Often mum will have to leave the room whilst her husband feeds the baby expressed milk - many babies only want it straight from the breast if the breast is available.
Your workplace should provide you with breaks so that you can express and a private place to do this in (not the toilet). Plus somewhere for you to store the breastmilk. Has your employer been supportive?
Wishing you and your family all the best with going back to work,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful replies. I really feel like there's someone looking out for my family!
I have a few meals saved in the freezer. I've heard of some websites that provide recipes and directions to prepare and then freeze a month's worth of meals, which would be so nice to have on hand. I think when my mother comes to visit, we'll go on a meal-making and freezing spree.
My employer is very supportive of my continuing to breastfeed. While I was pregnant, there actually wasn't anywhere besides the toilet to express milk, which a few co-workers were using. I found a spare room that had turned into a sort of dumping ground for extra office supplies and furniture, though, and we cleared it out and turned it into a lactation room...so I will be all set when I go back!
That's great advice about having me leave the room when my husband tries to bottle-feed him. So far, it's been quite a struggle because he's so used to feeding from my breast. I've tried three different brands - Tommy Tippee, Playtex, and Comotomo - and he likes Playtex best, but it's still difficult. I'll have to try Medela, since they specialize in breast pumps.
Thank you!

Dear Kristen,
It is a pleasure to be able to support your family here. I had some invaluable support on this forum when I was pregnant with my second son which helped me to have the positive birth experience I hoped for (and sadly had not experienced with my first birth).
A mum-daughter cooking and freezing spree certainly sounds in order!
I am so pleased to hear that your employer is supportive of your breastfeeding and expressing.
With the Breastflow bottle the baby has to latch onto the bottle so this can be an easier transition for an exclusively breastfed baby.
Skin to skin contact (including between your husband and baby) whilst giving your baby expressed breastmilk can help and it certainly increases bonding too. Something else which can helo is having a piece of your clothing (not washed!) near your baby whilst they are feeding from the bottle so the smell of mum relaxes them and reminds them of breastfeeding. You may find this article by Becky Flora helpful on Offering Your Breastfed Baby a Bottle.
Warm wishes,

Place marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave. Microwave 30 seconds; stir. Continue microwaving 30 seconds more; stir again. Continue until melted (about 2 1/2 minutes).
Place 3/4 of the confectioners´ sugar on top of the melted marshmallow mix. Grease hands and counter GENEROUSLY; turn marshmallow mixture onto counter. Start kneading like you would bread dough. NOTE: Please be careful, this first stage can get hot. Continue kneading, adding additional confectioners' sugar and re-greasing hands and counter when the fondant sticks. If the mix is tearing easily, it is too dry; add water (about 1/2 tablespoon at a time then knead it in). Continue kneading until mixture forms a firm, smooth elastic ball that will stretch without tearing, about 8 minutes.
YIELD: Makes about 2 pounds fondant.

I have an iphone 5 AT&T running ios7 beta 2. Have had no problems or crashes. Only one thing is bothering me and I just want to know if it's only me or others also. My home screen wallpaper keeps disappearing. If I go into an app it comes back then it disappears again after a bit.
Still liking it.
Reset wallpaper still messing up. It seems that when you go to app switcher and close all apps and return to home screen is when I messes up.


text: The Side-Scrolling wiki last edited by daveyd on 05/18/14 09:21PM View full history OverviewWhen graphics power was scarce, side-scrolling was the norm in video gaming. Though the two-dimensional sprites littering the landscape of one street of LA painted from the side could potentially bog down the 3.58 MHz processor in the SNES, at least the system wasn't trying to render millions of interlocking triangles off in the isometric distance.Why is side-scrolling awesome?There are many sides to take in the "side-scrolling is awesome" debate.Simplicity = TechnicalityThis situation is extremely easy to read. Dino, Piranha, Beetle, go right.Drawing everything from the side isn't always about reducing polygon counts. Sometimes it reduces the freedom of motion to allow level design to be less lenient. 3D platformers have always been plagued with collision issues, pathfinding glitches, and broken geometry that side-scrollers never have to deal with. Rendering the world in 3D causes all these problems during programming and though they can be fixed, even the camera perspectives can make 3D platforming far more difficult than it feels like it should be. To compensate for this, many designers make their platformers either very forgiving on mistakes or make them easier.Side-scrollers are not limited in this way. Because the perspective is always the same and the game's textures are all drawn to facilitate the angle you play at, figuring out what exactly is going on is always easier in a platformer. This increased understanding of the environment through simplicity allows these games to be made much harder than their free-roaming companions, with more tricks and more difficult timings.Subconscious FulfillmentRight is the right way in pretty much every side-scroller. This makes logical sense because most societies assume right to be the direction of progress or correctness, a fact linked to most people being right-handed. It is the flow of things. The direction Mario goes on his adventures is indicative of this natural human tendency. The only reason to go left, the direction of dubious or clumsy behavior, is to prepare for a large bound for a platform to right, absolving your decision to stray left in exchange for greater progress. You run away from your foes and scheme to the left; you succeed to the right. This seems a little silly, but its psychological and social ramifications are very real.User-Generated Content3D stuff is hard to edit and create. That's why it takes huge buildings full of programmers to make modern games. Editors pass most of this difficulty on to users when they try to make their own content. With a side-scrollers, you get a flat scroll to put stuff on that anybody can use. You can make a level for Megaman in a handful of minutes if you want, providing a much more viable and accessible user experience. This idea is the driving force behind the LittleBigPlanet game as a whole. Non-time-consuming content generation for many hours of ridiculous fun.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer
EVERETT — A vice principal investigating a case of cyber-bullying pressured a North Middle School girl into opening up her Facebook page so he could look at what her friends had been posting, according to the girl's mom.
The issue raises questions about what rights school officials have to ask to see students' social media sites and whether such actions violate students' privacy.
Connie Becerra said her 14-year-old daughter, Samantha Negrete, was never suspected to be a part of the cyber-bullying. But she was called into the vice principal's office and was told to type in her password and log onto her account.
"He did not have the right to bring her in and bully her and coerce her," Becerra said. "Our kids do have a right to privacy."
The vice principal's actions are "likely illegal and most certainly improper," said Linda Mangel, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington. Becerra contacted the Seattle office of the ACLU when she learned what happened last month.
"It's an awful thing to do to a 14-year-old kid who's done nothing wrong," Mangel said.
The vice principal was trying to find a picture taken on school grounds during school hours, said Mary Waggoner, school district spokeswoman. One student was later suspended for cyber-bullying.
"Everything we know at this point is that the assistant principal acted out of an interest in intervening in cyber-bullying," Waggoner said. "Given the concern about cyber-bullying, one might understand his motivation to make sure that it didn't happen at school."
Still, the district has hired an outside investigator to see "who said what, under what circumstances and under what authorization," Waggoner said.
The school district also is reviewing its policies on when and how staff may ask to look at a student's personal social media accounts, she said.
Waggoner said that she was not aware of other issues of staff perusing students' social media sites. The topic does need some clarification, she said. "In that respect, this situation is a good thing. We expect more clarity will come from this."
Both the federal and state constitution protect against unwarranted searches, such as a public school district perusing a student's Facebook page, Mangel said.
"What we don't know is whether this is an isolated incident or this is the tip of the iceberg and this administration has been conducting other improper searches of Facebook pages or email accounts," Mangel said.
Samantha, an eighth-grader at North Middle School, earns A's and B's, has never been in trouble at school and participates in wrestling, volleyball, basketball and choir, said her mom.
Samantha said that she feels she's been unnecessarily pulled into a controversy.
"I wasn't the bully," Samantha said. "It wasn't my fault. I feel like other kids are blaming me for what happened."
She was likely called to the school's office because she's an honor student and athlete whom the vice principal "knew had respect for authority and used that authority to tell her to open up her Facebook page," Mangel said.
The ACLU has produced an online booklet, First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University reported on a federal court case in Minnesota that involved student privacy rights on Facebook in which the student involuntarily relinquished her password.
Students enjoy a Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures by school officials, according to the ruling.

Over the last couple of years I have developed a passion for using linux, and using security tools. This led me to decide that I wanted to pursue a career in Network Security. I am just curious if anyone knows of the best schools in the Midwest area or any of the best schools for that matter, as well as any special certifications I would be best off with. I also would possibly like to have a focus on wireless security, but the security field in general is interesting to me, but I do enjoy wireless the best. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. At the moment I am going to attend my first year at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, but I plan to transfer if I can find a more suitable school.
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
For other midwest options, Purdue Univ has historically had a very good Computer curriculum with an emphasis on Comp Sec. I've worked with several Purdue grads and have been impressed with all of them.
Another one to take a look at might be Baker College in Michigan. Don't know much about them, but the had a team that won the collegiate cyber defense competition last year, so they must be teaching something right ;-)
I wouldn't put too much emphasis on schools that advertise themselves as an "NSA Center of Excellence" or whatever the current terminology is. It's a bit overrated for the most part.
I would have to agree with the statement that the NSA Center of Excellence is overrated. I graduated from DePaul with a MS in Network Security last year and the MS was not that different from my BS from Purdue. During my MS there was also very little to no touching of hardware. So a lot of theory and not much reality. Some of the students were doing a BS/MS option and said the BS courses had more reality to them, but I don't know that for a fact. So for a BS DePaul would probably be a pretty good choice. Oh and take the on campus courses. I took some courses that were Distance Learning and I feel I didn't learn as well as if I would have been in the room with the professor. I couldn't ask the professor questions during the lecture. The homework was due the same time as the oncampus class but DL students couldn't watch the recording for about 12 hours after the course finished. So if you had an assignment due in two days, the DL students only had about 32-33 hours (12 hours so the lecture could be put online and 3-4 hours to watch). I am told that most of these issues were addressed after I graduated. They supposed came out with new software allows a DL student to watch the class live and ask questions. Of course having never used it or been back since I graduated I don't know if it is true.
Just my two cents,
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
I am a DePaul alum as well.....MS in Software Engineering...and I would say it is a good choice. Their Distance Learning worked out very well for me. Between a full-time job, the kids, and the Mrs.....actually going to class was often difficult.
I think University of Advancing Technology is a good one with an actual Major in Network Security
This is a hackers forum :P

Many "computer science" degrees don't have anything to do with network security. I talked to a recent CS grad at a major college (one that is on that NSA list btw) who had never heard of BackTrack, had never heard of or used Wireshark, or Nmap.
Everyone I've known from UAT is top notch.

Louis Vuitton Fall 2012
Ah! It's so hard to find a porter when you need one these days, don't you find? Well, not if you'd traveled on the 10:00 Louis Vuitton express to the Louvre this morning. A real vintage locomotive rolled into the "station," pulling a carriage of behatted young ladies, attired as if they might have started their journey circa 1912. As they alighted on the "platform," each was met by her own smartly liveried porter—a multiple bag-carrying presence haughtily ignored by the traveler he was serving.
If Marc Jacobs has been watching Downton Abbey, we wouldn't be at all surprised. The mise-en-scène, with its pre-World War I aristocratic theme, held up a double-sided mirror to the Louis Vuitton enterprise, simultaneously reflecting the past of the company (when travelers really did commission suites of handmade trunks for their long, slow journeys by train and ocean liner), and its present as a luxury success in a time when new classes of the super-rich are also piling up their own sets of LV trophy purchases in the instant-communication age. A triple layer of significance (or is that quadruple?) is provided by the fact that, in another wing of the Louvre, the Musée de la Mode et du Textile, a massive exhibition in which Louis Vuitton's luggage heritage, and Marc Jacobs's contribution to the marque through his ready-to-wear runway inspirations, are melded.
Exactly how mightily successful that dynamic must be can be gauged by pulling back and imagining what it took to source, repaint, and create a functioning faux-railroad so that several tons of a steam-engine could appear to chug into a tent in a courtyard of the Louvre. It ratchets up the level of this season's experiential fashion happenings to another level of amazing. Only compare the spectacle to the nineties, when it was thought wondrous when the fashion crowd was asked to a Paris station to see John Galliano's Apache girls arrive at an actual Paris gare via locomotive. Now, the loco and the station are taken to the audience—all for a half-hour fashion display.
But what of the clothes, you cry? Well, though Jacobs's serious-looking young ladies of entitlement may at first glance seem heir to a TV-series pre-WWI wardrobe, it's really only a matter of the elongated, ankle-grazing, A-line silhouettes, and the tall, deep-brimmed, expression-concealing hats, each sprouting an eccentric medallion of fur, with a puff of feather, on the side. Break these looks down, and you have a myriad of jackets, often in glittery fabrics, with oversize jeweled buttons, severe, sleeveless A-line coats, square-necked Empire waist dresses in Lurex—each of which doesn't need to look in the slightest vintage-y in a modern girl's wardrobe. Funnily enough, Jacobs's Louis Vuitton for fall happens to bear a direct resemblance to Prada's. Now that two forces of the overground avant-garde are thinking along the same lines, that's a trend with potential forward-motion. Au revoir. And over to you.

Girlfriend sells soldier's dog while he was in Afghanistan; New owners refuses to sell it back
UPDATE: According to The Daily Caller, the family will return the dog to the solider.
We told you this past week about a Fort Carson soldier whose dog went missing while he is deployed in afghanistan. A Facebook page was made in an effort to find the dog, and we've learned the dog has now been located. "Baxter" is with a new family, but they are reluctant to give him back.
This soldier's best friend was left in the care of a girlfriend when his owner, Robby, was deployed to Afghanistan in March. The dog is a three-year-old Shiba Inu that Robby got when he was a puppy.
"They keep saying they have children that are attached," Robby's mother, Karen, told News 5. "Well my child is attached to the dog. Just because he's older doesn't mean he's not my child."

Topper dig site subject of new PBS program
The University of South Carolina's Topper archaeological dig site – home to some of the most significant research on earliest man in America – will be the subject of an hour-long episode of "Time Team America," a new PBS television series airing at 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 15.
Topper, located in Allendale County along the banks of the Savannah River, is profiled in the second episode of the series, which premieres on July 7.
Based on a long-running British series, "Time Team America" takes viewers inside some of the most intriguing archaeological sites in America. The show's crew, comprising archaeologists and scientists, shares the rush of discovery with viewers as artifacts are found.
"This is the first one-hour national broadcast on Topper, which is some measure of the importance of the site and the amount of public interest in the archaeology of early humans in the Americas," said Dr. Al Goodyear, the university archaeologist whose research at the Topper site has captured international attention and has put the archaeology field in flux.
Goodyear's findings that suggest an occupation of an earlier pre-Clovis people dating back some 50,000 years or more have sparked much scientific debate and interest.

Gallium scanLiver gallium scan; Bony gallium scan
A gallium scan is a test to look for swelling (inflammation), infection, or cancer in the body.It uses a radioactive material called gallium and isa type of nuclear medicine exam.
A related test is gallium scan of the lung.
How the Test is Performed
You will get aradioactive material called gallium injectedintoyour vein. The gallium travels through the bloodstream and collects in the bones and certain organs.
Your health care provider will tell you to return at a later time to be scanned. The scan will take place 6 - 24 hours after the gallium is injected. The test time depends on what condition your doctor is looking for.
You will lie on your back on the scanner table. A special camera detects where the gallium has gathered in the body.
You must lie still during the scan, which takes 30 - 60 minutes.
How to Prepare for the Test
Stool in the bowel caninterfere with the test. You may need to take a laxative the night before you have the test. Or, you may get an enema 1 - 2 hours before the test. You may eat and drink liquids normally.
You will need to sign a consent form. You will need to take off alljewelry and metal objects before the test.
How the Test Will Feel
You will feel a sharp prick when you get the injection. The site may be sore for a few minutes.
The hardest part of the scan is holding still. The scan itself is painless. The technician can help make you comfortable before the scan begins.
Why the Test is Performed
This test may be done tolook for the cause of afever. It is used most often to look for a cancer of the lymph system called lymphoma.
Normal Results
Gallium normally collects in bones, the liver, spleen, the large bowel, and breast tissue.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Gallium detected outside normal areas can be a sign of:
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Tumors, including Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
The test may be done to look for lung conditions such as:
- Primary pulmonary hypertension
- Pulmonary embolus
- Respiratory infections, most often pneumocystitis jirovecii pneumonia
- Sarcoidosis
- Scleroderma of the lung
- Tumors in the lung
There is a small risk of radiation exposure (less than with x-rays or CT scans). Pregnant or nursing womenand young children should avoid radiation exposure if at all possible.
Not all cancers show up on a gallium scan.

I am a licensed psychologist and a clinical psychologist. I have also been a school psychologist. I try to find the strengths as well the "issues" the person wants to work on. Together, we look at patterns to overcome and ways that the person has been functioning, whether effective or not. We look at how the person can live a more meaningful life. It may be that patterns of behavior and of thinking have them feeling empty and isolated. We determine how they can get back on track.

When I attempt to be of help to a client I bring to the table all the knowledge and skill I have acquired in earning a Ph.D. in psychology and many hours of additional formal training. However, this is only the beginning. I also bring to the table everything I have learned in many years of relating to people as therapist, friend, family member, group member, and psychotherapy client. What I know about my own humanity is more important that all of my formal training.

Is Mara an actual entity, or just a personification of the force of delusion that has clouded our minds since time immemorial, and thus has acquired a kind of momentum and energy of it's own, and wishes to preserve it's own 'life', as it were? Or both? If the first, why would any Deva want to hinder folks from getting free from the sensual realm, or free of Samsara altogether? What's in it for them?
kind regards,

Brevard, N.C. - Coach Juan Mascaro has released the 2011 Brevard College men's soccer schedule, in conjunction with the BC Sports Information Department.
The Tornados finished up the 2010 season by making it to the postseason for the first time in the program's short NCAA history, reaching the quarterfinals of the Food Lion South Atlantic Conference tournament.
Brevard will look to return this year, with a grueling schedule on course as the Tornados will take on a pair of NCAA Division I opponents in the exhibition preseason, as well as a pair of NCAA Tournament participants during the regular season. On tap for the schedule are six home contests at the BC Soccer Field, while Brevard will take to the road 10 times in the 2011 year. BC will also have one neutral site contest, held at Eagle Field at the Winthrop Soccer Complex on the campus of Winthrop University.
Brevard opens the season with a pair of exhibitions as they travel down to Rock Hill, S.C. on August 26th to take on NCAA Division I Winthrop. This will be the fifth consecutive year the Tornados have taken on the Eagles, dating back to the 2007 season.
Brevard will remain on the road as they travel to Boiling Springs, N.C. to take on Gardner-Webb, their second Division I opponent of the 2011 season. This will be the first time the two teams have met since the Tornados moved into the NCAA Division II back in 2008.
Following the exhibition season, Brevard returns home to open up the 2011 regular season by hosting Erskine at the BC Soccer Field on September 1st, with kickoff slated at 5 p.m.
The Tornados return to the road for their next two contests as they travel to Belmont Abbey on September 3rd, before making the trip to USC Aiken on September 7th.
Brevard welcomes a familiar foe to Brevard, N.C. on September 10th, as the Tornados host Bluefield College for the first time since 2006, when the Tornados and Rams were both a part of the Appalachian Athletic Conference.
Following the Tornados-Rams battle, the Tornados take to the road for the remainder of September as they take on UNC Pembroke in a neutral site contest, hosted by Winthrop University. The Tornados will battle the Braves in Rock Hill, S.C. at Eagle Field on September 13th.
Conference play ensues in the next match as Brevard goes on a tour throughout the SAC as they travel to Jefferson City, Tenn. on September 17th to take on Carson-Newman. The Tornados remain on the road as they travel to Moretz Stadium to take on Lenoir-Rhyne in the next game on September 21st, before returning to Tennessee for contests against Lincoln Memorial (Sept. 24) and Tusculum (Sept. 28).
BC makes their return to campus on October 1st for the SAC home opener as the Tornados welcome rival Mars Hill to the BC Soccer Field.
Brevard returns to the road as they head into their toughest stretch of the season as they open on October 3rd against Queens (N.C.). Following their game against the Royals, Brevard makes the trip to 2010 SAC regular season champion Wingate as the Tornados return to the site of their thrilling SAC tournament quarterfinal contest as they take on the Bulldogs on October 8th. The Tornados end the stretch against Anderson, a 2010 NCAA Sweet 16 participant. Brevard hosts the Trojans in Brevard, N.C. on October 12th.
The Tornados close out the season with a quartet of games as they host St. Andrews Presbyterian, before heading to the road for a pair of games against Virginia Intermont and SAC opponent Newberry, before hosting the season finale and Senior Day at home against Catawba on October 29th.

Multi-year Pledges
Donors who want to make a larger gift can spread payments out over three to five years. Making a multi-year pledge enables you to have a greater impact on the College and, by providing a reliable source of funding, helps Middlebury budget over several years.
Multi-year pledges are often made during a reunion year. While you pay only a portion of the total gift in the reunion year, the full amount of your pledge counts toward your class's reunion gift total.

"Pay-and-Go" machines are located in the Skywalk connecting the Hourly Garage to the BWI Marshall terminal. This allows travelers to pre-pay for parking fees saving time and money before exiting the hourly garage through an automated or staffed toll lane.
When using BWI Marshall's hourly garage, travelers should keep their parking voucher with them when going into the airport. Before returning to the garage, customers can use the yellow Pay-and-Go machines to pay their parking fee with cash or credit. The parking voucher will be validated and returned, providing customers with an additional 30 free minutes to return to their cars and exit the garage.
Pay-and-Go machines are located in the Concourse A, B and D Skywalks.
There are also 8 Pay-and-Go machines in the Daily Garage located at the bus lobby areas.
